- 0:04Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied. The Bench
- 0:09Speaker 1: our two of Off the Bench live from the Raising
- 0:12Speaker 1: Kine Studio.
- 0:56Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in I wut Knower two of
- 0:58Speaker 3: O T be here live from the Raiz Caine Studio.
- 1:01Speaker 3: I'm talking a little LSU baseball, LSU and Kentucky this
- 1:05Speaker 3: weekend in the box. To do so, our guy Jared
- 1:08Speaker 3: Mitchell sec network of course LSU baseball legend. Let me
- 1:13Speaker 3: get a football question in here with Jay Mitch as well.
- 1:15Speaker 4: Jay Mitch, what's going on? Brother? How we doing?
- 1:18Speaker 5: I'm living man? How you boys doing this morning?
- 1:20Speaker 3: You know, just quiet here in bat Nerws, nothing going on,
- 1:23Speaker 3: no new coaches.
- 1:25Speaker 4: You know, always quiet here.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Pot right.
- 1:31Speaker 3: It always does, it always does, and certainly you know
- 1:34Speaker 3: during baseball season it never stops as well.
- 1:37Speaker 4: So before we look at.
- 1:39Speaker 3: LSU and Kentucky, LSU, as you know, our listeners know,
- 1:43Speaker 3: we all know, came into this season with very high expectations.
- 1:47Speaker 3: It hasn't been all bad, but you know, some of
- 1:49Speaker 3: the guys that they brought in I just haven't been producing.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I think, like everyone expected them too, and you're probably
- 1:56Speaker 3: the best person asked this question too. I mean, you've
- 1:58Speaker 3: been a part of a national championship team in two
- 2:00Speaker 3: different sports, but you also know what it's like to
- 2:03Speaker 3: come into a place with an expectation where you have
- 2:05Speaker 3: to be great because that's just what the standard has been.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And it feels like so far, Jay Mitch, there's been
- 2:12Speaker 3: some guys that you know, obviously they've come from other leagues,
- 2:16Speaker 3: other places, but trying to figure out what it's like
- 2:18Speaker 3: to play in the SEC.
- 2:21Speaker 5: I mean, definitely, I feel like there's some guys that
- 2:23Speaker 5: on team that have come in and it's taken them
- 2:26Speaker 5: a while to truly get acclivated to what it is
- 2:29Speaker 5: playing not only a the SEC, playing in alex Back Stadium,
- 2:32Speaker 5: playing that purple and gold, Understanding that you are on
- 2:34Speaker 5: a team that's won a national championship, but you yourself
- 2:37Speaker 5: didn't win one, right, so understanding how to kind of
- 2:39Speaker 5: fit into all of those things. It's taking them a
- 2:42Speaker 5: little time now. I will give Jay and his staff
- 2:45Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt because of what they've done
- 2:47Speaker 5: over the past four years. Gig from year five that
- 2:49Speaker 5: he's that he's in Baton Rouges look it's hard for
- 2:52Speaker 5: me to believe that these are not good baseball players.
- 2:54Speaker 5: It's also hard for me to watch sit there and
- 2:57Speaker 5: watch I guess, yeah, what say five, six, maybe even
- 3:01Speaker 5: seven guys struggling at the same time. That usually doesn't happen.
- 3:05Speaker 5: So would that be in the case and it being
- 3:08Speaker 5: early in a year and you still in striking distance.
- 3:11Speaker 5: I like where they are. I like with the opportunity
- 3:13Speaker 5: what they have to do. And let's be honest. Two
- 3:16Speaker 5: weekends ago you go to Vanderbilt, you're one pitch away
- 3:18Speaker 5: from winning that series. A weekend ago, you're a couple
- 3:21Speaker 5: pitches away from winning that series. And sometimes that really
- 3:24Speaker 5: is the difference between the good and the quote unquote
- 3:27Speaker 5: bad in this league. I just err on the side
- 3:29Speaker 5: that this is a good team that's not completely hitting
- 3:32Speaker 5: on all cylinders, and they got a lot of things
- 3:33Speaker 5: to kind of put together, and I think this is
- 3:35Speaker 5: about the time where it needs to start kind of
- 3:37Speaker 5: rounding into shape.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Jared, how tough is it so?
- 3:41Speaker 3: And you're right, like, there's multiple guys and if they're
- 3:43Speaker 3: struggling in the lineup, the guys that have always produced
- 3:46Speaker 3: in purple and gold, and they're at the top of
- 3:48Speaker 3: the lineup, Like how stressful is that for you? Each
- 3:51Speaker 3: and every bad too, probably feel like you need to
- 3:54Speaker 3: do more.
- 3:55Speaker 4: You got to be superhuman.
- 3:56Speaker 3: And as you know, like in baseball, when you press
- 3:59Speaker 3: that way, that's when you get into the most trouble.
- 4:02Speaker 3: It does feel like there's some guys there at the
- 4:04Speaker 3: top that feel like they're probably having to try to
- 4:06Speaker 3: do it all. And when you get in that situation,
- 4:08Speaker 3: it's not good for anybody.
- 4:10Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, it's definitely tough because now you're
- 4:14Speaker 5: sitting there, like baseball is the ultimate path of Paton sport, right,
- 4:16Speaker 5: Like you want to be able to do the job
- 4:18Speaker 5: in the capacity that is being allowed when you allow
- 4:21Speaker 5: the game to kind of come to you. When you
- 4:23Speaker 5: sit there and you're trying to take yourself to the
- 4:25Speaker 5: game all the time, you start trying to kind of
- 4:27Speaker 5: play over your skis and do a little more than
- 4:29Speaker 5: what maybe the situation is calling for. So there is
- 4:32Speaker 5: a little bit of that push. But I think the
- 4:33Speaker 5: really good players, the best ones, are the ones that
- 4:35Speaker 5: are able to kind of fight that and believe it
- 4:37Speaker 5: or not, whether whether the lineup is good or not,
- 4:39Speaker 5: whether the team is good or not. The best players
- 4:42Speaker 5: are able to kind of just play their role in
- 4:45Speaker 5: their situation as it is until things around them start
- 4:49Speaker 5: to happen as well. So I think if you can
- 4:51Speaker 5: kind of take that matured approach, that kind of experienced
- 4:54Speaker 5: approach and understanding what's going on around you and let
- 4:57Speaker 5: the game either come back to you or come to
- 4:59Speaker 5: you period, I think it allows that team to kind
- 5:02Speaker 5: of in that lineup and allows the team to kind
- 5:03Speaker 5: of come together in the lineup to kind of flow
- 5:05Speaker 5: and really get going as well.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also one of those things too where you know,
- 5:09Speaker 3: you have a guy like a Jake Brown who is
- 5:11Speaker 3: producing at a really high level right now, but like
- 5:14Speaker 3: if those around him don't, you know, help protect. And
- 5:18Speaker 3: we talked about this with Jay Johnson a couple of
- 5:20Speaker 3: weeks ago. Jay Mitch is like, if they don't protect,
- 5:22Speaker 3: and we're not talking about you know, leaving the ball
- 5:25Speaker 3: the ball field, We're not talking about you know, hitting
- 5:28Speaker 3: doubles off the wall. We're just talking about good at
- 5:30Speaker 3: bats that have to force the issue and you know,
- 5:33Speaker 3: make you pitch to Jake Brown, because like somebody right
- 5:36Speaker 3: now in this LSU lineup that I wouldn't throw to
- 5:39Speaker 3: is Jake Brown. So like those guys around him, it
- 5:41Speaker 3: doesn't have to be world beaters. It just has to
- 5:43Speaker 3: be competitive at bats. So Jake Brown can at least
- 5:46Speaker 3: see one pitch to hit per a bat.
- 5:49Speaker 5: I agree with that, but I guess my take on
- 5:51Speaker 5: Jake Brown too is kind of crazy because it's it's
- 5:54Speaker 5: a little different, and it's a little different in the
- 5:55Speaker 5: sense of so when you come into a season like
- 5:58Speaker 5: everybody needs Jake Brown was a good player. Yeah, the
- 6:00Speaker 5: player he is right now, the things that he's doing
- 6:02Speaker 5: right now is not reminiscent of what he's done in
- 6:04Speaker 5: his career. And so what I mean by that is
- 6:06Speaker 5: he's playing even a level above. He's gone above and
- 6:09Speaker 5: beyond what we've seen. So when you came into the year,
- 6:12Speaker 5: you knew you was a good player, but you didn't
- 6:14Speaker 5: tab him as this Allah, tab him Tommy White as
- 6:17Speaker 5: hey don't pitch to him. From the beginning of the season,
- 6:20Speaker 5: when it started at twenty three, you knew who that
- 6:22Speaker 5: guy was and what he was going to do and
- 6:24Speaker 5: how he plays and the power that he brought in,
- 6:26Speaker 5: the threat that he was in the lineup. Jake is
- 6:28Speaker 5: showing you that for the first time this year and
- 6:31Speaker 5: it's not a bad thing. It's a great thing. So
- 6:33Speaker 5: what I mean by my take is different on him
- 6:36Speaker 5: is it takes a while for people to start recognizing
- 6:40Speaker 5: that and start really tabbing him as don't pitch to
- 6:43Speaker 5: that guy. So with that being said, it hasn't always
- 6:47Speaker 5: been we're gonna make these guys around him do the
- 6:50Speaker 5: hitting in that time. That has been for me, the
- 6:53Speaker 5: most time where these guys have struggled. So now that
- 6:56Speaker 5: they're coming out of it, they're trying to get to
- 6:58Speaker 5: the other side of it. They're starting to not pitched
- 7:00Speaker 5: to Jake. These guys are really going to start truly
- 7:03Speaker 5: getting more pitches to hit in a time where they're like,
- 7:05Speaker 5: you know what, let's not let Jake be let's let
- 7:08Speaker 5: these guys beat us. Let's go attack these guys instead.
- 7:11Speaker 5: And I think all these things are kind of gotta
- 7:12Speaker 5: work together to getting them back on track the way they.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Need to be. Yeah, no doubt about it.
- 7:18Speaker 3: I mean, they're certainly going to have opportunities because Jake
- 7:21Speaker 3: Brown is going to as the season goes along, like
- 7:23Speaker 3: you said, he's gonna see fewer pitches that are going
- 7:26Speaker 3: to be in the zone. Those other guys are going
- 7:28Speaker 3: to get those pitches. Now they have to make the
- 7:30Speaker 3: other team pay. Catching up with our guys, Jared Mitchell,
- 7:32Speaker 3: SEC Network talking about LSU baseball. You know, Cason Evans
- 7:37Speaker 3: last Friday or I guess it would have been Thursday
- 7:39Speaker 3: with the Thursday Friday Saturday series certainly showed you what
- 7:43Speaker 3: he's shown you pretty much every time he's been in
- 7:45Speaker 3: an LSU uniform. Now he's making the move from kind
- 7:48Speaker 3: of a stopper there and coming in whenever you had
- 7:50Speaker 3: a lead in SEC play and shutting the door in
- 7:52Speaker 3: like the last four innings to being a first game
- 7:55Speaker 3: out Friday night starter in the SEC. That was the
- 7:58Speaker 3: case in Evans that we I've certainly seen multiple times
- 8:01Speaker 3: already in an LSU uniform. If he does that and
- 8:05Speaker 3: you got an injury to your Saturday guy now, so
- 8:07Speaker 3: you're gonna need him even more. But if he does that,
- 8:09Speaker 3: as we all know, this is a completely different LSU
- 8:12Speaker 3: team if you have Schmidt thoughing like he has all year,
- 8:15Speaker 3: and then Case and Evans giving you true a stuff.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean what we saw at case In last
- 8:20Speaker 5: week was so just it's what we saw from him
- 8:23Speaker 5: last year. I think to start the year knowing that
- 8:26Speaker 5: he was going to be in a different role this
- 8:28Speaker 5: year in terms of not coming out of the bullpen anymore,
- 8:30Speaker 5: not having a high leverage situation, but hey, we need
- 8:33Speaker 5: you to start set the tones not only for the game,
- 8:36Speaker 5: but for the weekend as well. It's a completely different role,
- 8:38Speaker 5: and I figured I thought it was going to take
- 8:40Speaker 5: him a little time to kind of figure out to
- 8:42Speaker 5: navigate how he wanted to go about that, and it
- 8:45Speaker 5: did right like, he saw some ups and downs. He
- 8:46Speaker 5: saw him kind of trying to figure it out, and
- 8:48Speaker 5: then last week you're like, that's it. And I think
- 8:51Speaker 5: what we saw last year out of him kind of
- 8:53Speaker 5: gave you that mental perception that it was going to
- 8:55Speaker 5: be out the gate the exact same way and not
- 8:57Speaker 5: understanding that there was probably going to be a little
- 8:59Speaker 5: bit bumps. But I love where he's at right now, eyeball.
- 9:02Speaker 5: I've said it all seasons, all season long. I think
- 9:05Speaker 5: this the starting rotation's ability to go deeper in games
- 9:09Speaker 5: is gonna be truly one of the better things if
- 9:12Speaker 5: they can get that done for this team this year.
- 9:14Speaker 5: I think by being able to minimize how much time
- 9:17Speaker 5: is being spent out of the bullpen and having to pitch.
- 9:20Speaker 5: I think that's that's one thing that's gonna help them
- 9:23Speaker 5: be a much better team going towards the back end
- 9:25Speaker 5: of the year. Now, like you said, with Cooper Moore
- 9:27Speaker 5: out and we don't know how long, but as long
- 9:29Speaker 5: as he's out, how are you gonna fill those innings
- 9:31Speaker 5: on Saturday? And what are you gonna do? Are you
- 9:33Speaker 5: gonna move William Schmid into the Saturday role? This would
- 9:35Speaker 5: be the week to do it, obviously, because they went Thursday,
- 9:38Speaker 5: Friday Saturday last week, So you can kind of get
- 9:39Speaker 5: it back onto a regular schedule this week by playing Friday,
- 9:43Speaker 5: Saturday Sunday. So that'll be interesting to see if Day
- 9:45Speaker 5: makes that move. But I also like the idea of, hey,
- 9:49Speaker 5: when we tow it up on game three of a
- 9:50Speaker 5: Sunday in the SEC, there ain't many William Schmid's facing
- 9:53Speaker 5: William Schmid like he is such an advantage having him
- 9:57Speaker 5: on that third day. And if you can move let's
- 10:00Speaker 5: just say Jaden News. Let's say if you can piggyback
- 10:02Speaker 5: a Jade Newton and Zach Cowen or Zach Cowens Jade Newton,
- 10:06Speaker 5: they can and those two guys you can commit and
- 10:08Speaker 5: you can understand and they can understand that. Hey, if
- 10:10Speaker 5: you can give us I don't know, man, let's say
- 10:13Speaker 5: eighteen to twenty outs. Let's be let's be somewhere around
- 10:16Speaker 5: there a weekend between you two on a Saturday. I
- 10:20Speaker 5: love where that team could be on a Saturday with
- 10:22Speaker 5: Cason thrown on Friday. And I love what they can
- 10:24Speaker 5: be with the opportunity of having William Smith thrown on Sunday.
- 10:27Speaker 5: So I think everything they need is still in front
- 10:29Speaker 5: of them. But one hundred percent, it's so key that
- 10:32Speaker 5: not only Cason peaks that form and plays that way
- 10:35Speaker 5: the rest of the year and throws that away the
- 10:36Speaker 5: rest of the year. But if they can get started
- 10:38Speaker 5: pitching that does that, they're in a great spot.
- 10:42Speaker 3: All right, Jay Mitch, Let's talk about their opponent coming
- 10:44Speaker 3: up this weekend. Kentucky, another range baseball team, come in
- 10:47Speaker 3: at two the box.
- 10:49Speaker 4: They play it a different way.
- 10:50Speaker 3: They are going to manufacture runs, they are going to
- 10:53Speaker 3: take long at bats, They're going to be very active
- 10:55Speaker 3: on the base pass, They're going to lay down bunch.
- 10:57Speaker 3: That's just who they are. They force the issue, they
- 11:00Speaker 3: never give up, and they are just pesky. They are
- 11:02Speaker 3: one of those teams. It just never goes away. How
- 11:05Speaker 3: do you see it going this weekend?
- 11:08Speaker 5: This is gonna be an interesting one man, because Lshu's
- 11:10Speaker 5: had their troubles on defense this year. They've given up
- 11:13Speaker 5: some walks on the mound this year. It is gonna
- 11:15Speaker 5: be paramount that they just flood and suffocate the zone
- 11:19Speaker 5: as pitchers on that staff make Kentucky put the ball
- 11:22Speaker 5: in play. And then when they do it, you got
- 11:24Speaker 5: to make the plays defensively because Kentucky will put the
- 11:27Speaker 5: strain on you. They will run, they will go first
- 11:29Speaker 5: to third, they will steal back, they will dirt ball read,
- 11:32Speaker 5: they'll do all of those things, and they do it
- 11:34Speaker 5: at a high clip, and they do it very successfully,
- 11:36Speaker 5: and that is the fabric of their game. So I
- 11:39Speaker 5: think it's really important that you pitch it well this weekend.
- 11:42Speaker 5: But it's even more important that you're able to feel
- 11:44Speaker 5: it and throw it across the diamond and hit guys
- 11:46Speaker 5: in the chest that way. I think when you look
- 11:49Speaker 5: at those two, when you look at those things, and
- 11:50Speaker 5: if LSU's able to do that, this is a super
- 11:53Speaker 5: big weekend for him because from this you got to
- 11:56Speaker 5: go to Tennessee and you got to go too old miss.
- 11:59Speaker 5: I believe those two weekend series right behind this one
- 12:03Speaker 5: could really be the turning point of telling you where
- 12:05Speaker 5: you're going to go the rest of the year, because
- 12:07Speaker 5: I do think like when you look at the totality
- 12:10Speaker 5: of an SDC season, you got ten weeks, thirty games
- 12:12Speaker 5: just sitting there with It's great to get off to
- 12:15Speaker 5: a good start the week's one and two. It's awesome
- 12:17Speaker 5: to be hot at the end and go well week
- 12:19Speaker 5: nine to ten. But it's those middle weeks where if
- 12:22Speaker 5: you kind of let go, when you let things slide
- 12:24Speaker 5: a little bit, when it's not when you're not really
- 12:26Speaker 5: I guess honed in because it's not new or it's
- 12:28Speaker 5: not the end of the year, those where you get
- 12:30Speaker 5: yourself in trouble at by just not taking care of
- 12:32Speaker 5: business in the middle. And you're getting to that middle
- 12:34Speaker 5: part here.
- 12:34Speaker 3: This is a big weekend for catching up with our guys,
- 12:38Speaker 3: Jared Mitchell sec network here on OTB.
- 12:40Speaker 4: All right, j Mitch, before we let you go, we're
- 12:42Speaker 4: gonna ask you.
- 12:43Speaker 3: I mean, you know, our listeners know you won a
- 12:45Speaker 3: national championship in a couple of different sports, and so
- 12:48Speaker 3: we got to ask you about football. I remember watching
- 12:50Speaker 3: you try to run across the street and have to
- 12:52Speaker 3: like change basically like as you were running to go
- 12:55Speaker 3: from spring football practice to a baseball game over at
- 12:59Speaker 3: the box. And so spring football going on right now,
- 13:02Speaker 3: a lot of excitement around LSU got Lane Kiffin, you
- 13:05Speaker 3: got a brand new offensive staff, a lot of new players,
- 13:08Speaker 3: forty million dollar roster, whatever it is.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Kind of what's your excitement level?
- 13:12Speaker 3: How do you think it's all gonna play out there
- 13:14Speaker 3: on the grid iron? I, especially knowing what Lane's done
- 13:18Speaker 3: in the past few years at Ole Miss, this is
- 13:21Speaker 3: the most exciting.
- 13:23Speaker 5: But also I don't know exactly how they're gonna go
- 13:25Speaker 5: about springing what they're gonna put together, because you just
- 13:28Speaker 5: haven't seen it. It's new for Lane, it's a new roster,
- 13:31Speaker 5: it's a new place. You're kind of trying to set
- 13:32Speaker 5: some new ways and some new thoughts and bring some
- 13:35Speaker 5: new things into the building. But then you also, let's
- 13:38Speaker 5: let's be honest, let's play with this forty million dollar
- 13:41Speaker 5: roster we're talking about. The absolute most important thing is,
- 13:44Speaker 5: hey man, how do we get you to August healthy? Brother?
- 13:47Speaker 5: Like that's what we need. So it'll it'll be interesting
- 13:49Speaker 5: to see how they go about it, but I don't.
- 13:51Speaker 5: I mean, tell me a more anticipated spring practice than
- 13:54Speaker 5: bad news that there's been in the past twenty years.
- 13:57Speaker 5: You got it, You'd be hard pressed to find it.
- 14:00Speaker 5: I think I'm here, I'm here waiting for it, and look,
- 14:02Speaker 5: I got my potfor already.
- 14:03Speaker 4: Uh, there's no doubt about it. And you're exactly right.
- 14:06Speaker 3: I don't think we've ever talked about a singular spring
- 14:09Speaker 3: practice like we did the first one with Lane Kiffin
- 14:12Speaker 3: and the new staff Jay mitch Man. We truly appreciate
- 14:15Speaker 3: the time as always enjoy watching you do big things
- 14:18Speaker 3: from the big stage.
- 14:19Speaker 4: Keep crushing it and we'll talk again soon.
- 14:21Speaker 5: All right. I was appreciate you, all.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Right, you as well, Jerry Mitchell.
- 14:25Speaker 3: The SEC well, it was network, but Taylor fixed it
- 14:28Speaker 3: to network.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:31Speaker 3: I thought it was like have you ever seen super Troopers? Yeah,
- 14:35Speaker 3: where they like you gotta say meal. I felt like
- 14:37Speaker 3: you were trying to get me to do that. Oh
- 14:39Speaker 3: like like a yeah, because you have network up there.
- 14:41Speaker 6: It was just me trying to hurry.
- 14:45Speaker 2: I picked up on it. I owned up to the mistake.
- 14:48Speaker 2: I fixed it.
- 14:49Speaker 7: Good things come to those who wait.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Pata chess. This man's trying to get his car. Okay, Yeah,
- 14:54Speaker 3: he's trying to track his truck right now.
- 14:56Speaker 7: He's trying to get his four hundred dollars Delivered's.

- 19:45Speaker 3: Welcome Back in Hell TV here live from the Raising Caine.
- 19:48Speaker 3: So why is my radio voice always go nineteen twenties?
- 19:54Speaker 4: It's a good Northeast.

- 20:09Speaker 3: But that it is, Derek that it is all right, Tay,
- 20:12Speaker 3: let's do it to you for a little spring football practice,
- 20:14Speaker 3: reports sir.
- 20:15Speaker 6: Yeah, so, folks finally got to see the first team
- 20:19Speaker 6: offense and eleven on eleven and it was Landon Clark
- 20:22Speaker 6: not who saw on long Street running with the ones.
- 20:25Speaker 6: I know a lot of people had thoughts on that.
- 20:27Speaker 6: I personally am not surprised. I know who's on Long
- 20:30Speaker 6: Street is a former five star, He's played three college games.
- 20:33Speaker 6: I mean, Landon Clark has experience, albeit at Elon, but
- 20:38Speaker 6: experience nonetheless, And everyone's saying that he's actually slinging it
- 20:41Speaker 6: out there. Landon Clark looks really good. You're starting three
- 20:44Speaker 6: receivers were Jace Brown and Jackson Harris really no surprise there.
- 20:48Speaker 6: They were kind of the two most productive guys you
- 20:51Speaker 6: brought in. And then Winston Wonkins, the wide receiver from
- 20:53Speaker 6: Old Miss who followed Lane Kiff, and that was that
- 20:56Speaker 6: was kind of the look at your offense. On the
- 20:58Speaker 6: defensive side of things, it was interesting, Jake, because Jordan
- 21:01Speaker 6: Ross and Prince Uman Miellen were your defensive ends. No
- 21:04Speaker 6: surprise there. They were the big name guys you got
- 21:07Speaker 6: out of the portal. It was Richard Anderson and Deuce
- 21:10Speaker 6: Gerald's two true freshmen early enrollies, starting at defensive tackle.
- 21:16Speaker 6: Now Steffiland Green, the Clemson transfer, hasn't practiced yet. He's
- 21:20Speaker 6: got a little bit of an injury, hasn't been out there.
- 21:22Speaker 6: Dominic McKinley was running with the twos. We were talking
- 21:26Speaker 6: about this earlier in the week, saying everything's up for
- 21:28Speaker 6: grabs because we don't know what Dominic McKinley's going to be.
- 21:32Speaker 6: We've seen flashes, it's just been a little inconsistent. Now
- 21:36Speaker 6: your corners PJ Woodland on one side, DJ Pikett on
- 21:39Speaker 6: the other, No surprise there. Both of those guys are studs.
- 21:43Speaker 6: No win weeks he was out there not participating full pads.
- 21:47Speaker 6: It was Devon Keys and TJ. Dottery were your two linebackers.
- 21:51Speaker 6: I think it's going to wind up being Dottery in weeks. Yeah,
- 21:55Speaker 6: but you're gonna love this. It's something we have been
- 21:57Speaker 6: talking about, your safeties for Tamarcus Cooley and Tyd Benifield
- 22:02Speaker 6: and Deshaun Spears was down there at Star like we
- 22:05Speaker 6: had we had kind of talked about, I mean six three,
- 22:07Speaker 6: two twenty down there working with Blake Baker, who's working
- 22:11Speaker 6: with the Stars. And then that's kind of the thing
- 22:14Speaker 6: I didn't like maybe. I mean, reports are now that
- 22:17Speaker 6: Chris Kiffin is working with the inside linebackers.
- 22:19Speaker 4: And he's a linebacker's coach.
- 22:21Speaker 6: He is, And I just I just thought Blake was
- 22:23Speaker 6: a great linebacker coach. I just I'm also all these
- 22:26Speaker 6: opinion that don't change what's working. And Kevin Peeples no
- 22:30Speaker 6: longer with the edge rushers. He's coaching interior defensive line,
- 22:33Speaker 6: so a little bit of rotation there, but uh, you know,
- 22:36Speaker 6: all in all some new faces in new places.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Yeah, Blake's gonna be able to And I'm with you,
- 22:41Speaker 3: like he's doing such a great job with that group.
- 22:43Speaker 3: But he's gonna be able to kind of roam around
- 22:46Speaker 3: the defense now, so gonna be able to kind of walk.
- 22:48Speaker 3: He's not gonna just be coaching in one position. He's
- 22:50Speaker 3: going to be be able to go coach every position
- 22:53Speaker 3: and checking on different position groups.
- 22:55Speaker 4: There the young.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Defensive tackles, it's not normal, but I guess it's not surprising,
- 23:02Speaker 3: and it's really something we talked about. So Lamar Brown's
- 23:05Speaker 3: not an early enroll league, which I hate the fact
- 23:08Speaker 3: that it's not like a negative deal, like we talked about.
- 23:12Speaker 3: I loved my spring semester my senior year and going
- 23:15Speaker 3: out there and playing spring sports. But it's like ninety
- 23:18Speaker 3: five percent of your class now is early enrollees.
- 23:20Speaker 4: So he's gonna have some catching up to do.
- 23:23Speaker 3: You get fifteen practices, you get fourth quarter program, you
- 23:28Speaker 3: get workouts and meetings and all these things when you
- 23:31Speaker 3: enroll early. And so those two guys are gonna have
- 23:35Speaker 3: certainly the jump, and it's gonna be young guys at
- 23:37Speaker 3: that position, Like that's your biggest recruits, Your biggest recruits
- 23:42Speaker 3: from this recruiting class were at that position. And it
- 23:45Speaker 3: is a position that you can go out there and
- 23:47Speaker 3: you can play pretty early.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Right.
- 23:49Speaker 3: It's not like to say there's not a lot going on,
- 23:51Speaker 3: but it's not quarterback, it's not corner some of these
- 23:55Speaker 3: positions that has a lot of adjustments. It's like, hey,
- 23:58Speaker 3: you're playing a three technique go are, you're playing a
- 24:01Speaker 3: one shade go right. So when you're a young guy,
- 24:05Speaker 3: there's not a lot to think about. You can just
- 24:07Speaker 3: use your ability at defensive tackle.
- 24:09Speaker 4: So I like that.
- 24:10Speaker 6: Duce Geralds is probably the biggest surprise to mean, well,
- 24:13Speaker 6: first off, dude, Gerald's tilt wise, he's probably my favorite
- 24:16Speaker 6: defensive alignment you brought in. But the fact that he's
- 24:19Speaker 6: already getting one reps at defensive tackle.
- 24:22Speaker 2: He's listened at six foot two.
- 24:23Speaker 6: Seventy nine right now, because when he signed he was
- 24:26Speaker 6: about sixty five two seventy Some were wondering if he
- 24:29Speaker 6: was going to play on the outside. The fact that
- 24:31Speaker 6: he's already at first team reps, he's only going to
- 24:34Speaker 6: get bigger and stronger like that. That's the standout to
- 24:37Speaker 6: me because at his size, already in there, fall camp's
- 24:41Speaker 6: going to be good to him if he keeps it up.
- 24:44Speaker 4: What about go back to the offense real quick?
- 24:47Speaker 3: Maybe the thing that stood out the most on the
- 24:50Speaker 3: offensive side of the football for you, because the defense
- 24:53Speaker 3: is something that is going to have familiar faces. You
- 24:56Speaker 3: feel good about where Blake Baker and the unit are
- 24:59Speaker 3: going to be because you know more right, you've seen
- 25:02Speaker 3: those guys in Perlin goal before.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Offensively, though, for you, what.
- 25:05Speaker 6: Was it Lanta Clark at the quarterback position. I mean,
- 25:08Speaker 6: he's kind of the talka camp right now and I
- 25:11Speaker 6: get that. You know he's he's he's kind of battling
- 25:15Speaker 6: for the QB two right now with Sam Levin out.
- 25:17Speaker 6: But look, if Levitt's not healthy to start the season
- 25:20Speaker 6: for whatever reason, there's a setback. Matt talked about it
- 25:24Speaker 6: a little bit last week. Lane Kiffin doesn't care where
- 25:26Speaker 6: you come from. I mean Trinidad. Shamblis came from Farris State.
- 25:29Speaker 6: A lot of people want to hype up who's on
- 25:31Speaker 6: Long Street, and I get it, he's from USC. He's
- 25:33Speaker 6: a five star, he's six'. Three Lanta clark's a. BALLER
- 25:37Speaker 6: i mean he's out there slinging. IT i mean it's,
- 25:40Speaker 6: effortless the ball comes out. Quick he looks good out.
- 25:42Speaker 3: There, yeah and with that, experience if something did happen
- 25:47Speaker 3: or If levitt wasn't ready to go for whatever. Reason
- 25:50Speaker 3: that feels like to play there because of that. Experience
- 25:52Speaker 3: and like you, Said lane does not care where you came.
- 25:54Speaker 3: From can you run his? Offense all, right we will step.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Away when we come, Back wells will join. Us we'll

- 30:55Speaker 8: know if they can come out there strong and and
- 30:57Speaker 8: win This friday, GAME i think they have a great
- 30:59Speaker 8: trance to take the.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Series If Cason evans pitched like you did last.
- 31:02Speaker 8: Weekend you, know talk about a guy who's not kind
- 31:06Speaker 8: of like on the on the verge of not being
- 31:08Speaker 8: A friday guy A friday, guy and then all of
- 31:10Speaker 8: a sudden does, that you, Know baseball's. Funky, NO i
- 31:13Speaker 8: don't know. HOW i, mean you, know it's ultimate game of. Failure,
- 31:16Speaker 8: yeah and you gotta be okay with, it figure it.
- 31:18Speaker 8: Out you can't succeed unless you. Fail that's with, Anything,
- 31:22Speaker 8: yeah baseball, specific it's it's a real, thing real.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Thing It it has to be nerve wracking to be
- 31:31Speaker 3: a pitcher as well and face a defense or an
- 31:34Speaker 3: offense like, this knowing that you've got to worry about other,
- 31:37Speaker 3: things not just pitching the, ball because you got to
- 31:39Speaker 3: field your. Position you got to make sure everybody knows the, bunk,
- 31:42Speaker 3: coverage all these different. Things and it's like, sure like
- 31:44Speaker 3: you work on, that you practice, that but you really
- 31:46Speaker 3: don't implement it unless you're playing a team like, this
- 31:49Speaker 3: and so you got to think about so many different
- 31:50Speaker 3: things before you even let the ball.
- 31:52Speaker 8: Go it's, true it is a little, bit you, know
- 31:55Speaker 8: it's a lot of. Pressure, yeah you, know and a
- 31:57Speaker 8: team like, this it always reminds you have a team
- 32:01Speaker 8: like U l you, know whenever we would practice for
- 32:04Speaker 8: a team Like kentucky and Even. Auburn auburn plays like
- 32:06Speaker 8: this a little bit. Too you practice like you're PLAYING
- 32:09Speaker 8: ul BECAUSE ul is doing the same. Thing they're they're
- 32:11Speaker 8: playing that little shaky kind of offense where they're bunting
- 32:14Speaker 8: and stealing and all this different. Stuff but as a,
- 32:16Speaker 8: pitcher if you can get ahead against a team like
- 32:20Speaker 8: this and throw first pitch strikes and make them put
- 32:22Speaker 8: the ball in, play you're doing.
- 32:24Speaker 4: Okay, yeah you're gonna be.
- 32:26Speaker 8: Fine and you don't put guys on free guys on,
- 32:28Speaker 8: base if you don't walk, guys if you don't hit
- 32:30Speaker 8: guys and give them free, bases you're gonna be. Fine
- 32:34Speaker 8: your defense is most likely gonna make the play behind,
- 32:38Speaker 8: you you. Know and if you don't put free guys on,
- 32:42Speaker 8: base you have a great chance of doing a good
- 32:44Speaker 8: against this. Team you put them on base and they're,
- 32:46Speaker 8: moving they're, MOVING i mean, yeah whether first, base, second or,
- 32:50Speaker 8: third and this team's, no they'll steal. Home AND i
- 32:54Speaker 8: know LSU's got some you, know some problems behind the
- 32:56Speaker 8: dish right, now and hopefully we can settle that out
- 33:02Speaker 8: this weekend and get a, firm you, know stance behind
- 33:07Speaker 8: the plate to minimize some of, that because they're gonna
- 33:11Speaker 8: be moving like it or.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Not and so for our, listeners and a lot of
- 33:14Speaker 3: them have sons that play travel, ball it's LIKE tenu.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Baseball like they get to first and you look, up
- 33:20Speaker 3: it's like they're gonna get to. Third like even like
- 33:22Speaker 3: with a good, pitch a good, throw they're gonna steal.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Second they're gonna steal. There it's like if a guy
- 33:27Speaker 3: gets on, first.
- 33:27Speaker 4: He's gonna be on the.
- 33:28Speaker 8: Third they're gonna expose, You, yeah and hopefully that it
- 33:31Speaker 8: doesn't come down to them exposing. You, look if if you,
- 33:34Speaker 8: execute you, know as a pitcher and on, defense you,
- 33:37Speaker 8: know and don't make you play air free baseball and,
- 33:40Speaker 8: execute you know from the, mound it's gonna be a different.
- 33:43Speaker 8: Story BECAUSE i think that they'll the offense is gonna
- 33:46Speaker 8: come out, swinging you, know just like they did last
- 33:48Speaker 8: Weekend friday night in the. Box you, know people are.
- 33:51Speaker 8: Excited it's a it's a fun time and it'll be.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Fun so what do you think is gonna? Happen will
- 33:56Speaker 3: with the? Staff you're gonna have an injury there on Your.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Saturdays starter is going to keep him out sounds like
- 34:02Speaker 3: at least three, weeks and so like three weeks in
- 34:05Speaker 3: me usually means five, weeks so you, know just.
- 34:08Speaker 4: The way that it kind of. Works but especially with
- 34:11Speaker 4: how it. Is, yeah and so it's, tough it.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Is and if YOUR, lsu so you still Have case And,
- 34:16Speaker 3: evans you still have Wym schmith' so he still got
- 34:17Speaker 3: two frontline. Starters but how would you maybe piece together
- 34:22Speaker 3: that last, game because if you do it in an
- 34:26Speaker 3: aggressive way and Like Zach collen's like a piece of,
- 34:28Speaker 3: that it's, like, okay well your stopper kind of gets taken,
- 34:32Speaker 3: away which you know him And Case evans have been
- 34:33Speaker 3: in THEIR lsu, careers like you get a lead in THE,
- 34:35Speaker 3: sec will bring him in the fifth, ending it'll just
- 34:37Speaker 3: shut the door on the rest of the. Game but
- 34:39Speaker 3: if he's a part of a, start then you lose
- 34:41Speaker 3: that as.
- 34:42Speaker 4: Well, yeah for. Sure it's it just goes back to
- 34:44Speaker 4: TYPICAL lsu.
- 34:45Speaker 8: Baseball you, know you get The friday night, guy you
- 34:46Speaker 8: got The saturday night, guy and you figure it Out
- 34:48Speaker 8: sunday AND i think you use you, Know gidrey And
- 34:51Speaker 8: callen to win those two, games, right you, know your
- 34:54Speaker 8: first first thing you got to do is win two.
- 34:57Speaker 4: Games you, know win one. Game you, know we.
- 35:00Speaker 8: Gotta, start you, know start the Bar low win one
- 35:03Speaker 8: game at a. Time and so if that means Using
- 35:06Speaker 8: guidry And cowen to win That friday.
- 35:08Speaker 4: Game that's what you're gonna.
- 35:09Speaker 8: Do and you figure it Out, saturday and then you
- 35:11Speaker 8: figure it out Again sunday and hopefully you have Maybe
- 35:14Speaker 8: gidrey And cowen and a guy Like rizzy and cheering
- 35:18Speaker 8: that can bump up the. Innings you, know who have
- 35:20Speaker 8: been guys who have been pretty, Reliable and in The
- 35:23Speaker 8: tuesday game they had some some freshmen do some great,
- 35:26Speaker 8: things some younger, guys some. Transfers so you, know somebody
- 35:29Speaker 8: is gonna have to step, up you, know it always
- 35:32Speaker 8: there's always.
- 35:33Speaker 4: A point in the season where that has to.
- 35:34Speaker 8: Happen and you, know, unfortunately you, Know Cooper more goes,
- 35:38Speaker 8: down which is a you, know a big hit for
- 35:41Speaker 8: l S. U but it's it's not like it hasn't happened.
- 35:43Speaker 8: Before you, know it happened three times the year we
- 35:46Speaker 8: won in twenty twenty, Three Garrett, Edwards Grant, Taylor Chase.
- 35:50Speaker 8: Shores you, know three guys that are gonna be big,
- 35:53Speaker 8: leaguers you, know and one already. Is and so you
- 35:56Speaker 8: know that you figure it out as you go and
- 35:57Speaker 8: somebody and people step up and just just roll with,
- 36:01Speaker 8: it roll with the.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Punches, uh you did have more success if we go
- 36:05Speaker 3: to the lineup and that was A midwi game Against Louisian.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Tech but you score fifteen runs and you pitch well
- 36:11Speaker 3: enough Against oklahoma to win the series and maybe sweep
- 36:14Speaker 3: in this.
- 36:15Speaker 4: Series, right the bats didn't catch. Up it's just plain and.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Simple you, like you need guys to step, up like
- 36:22Speaker 3: the guys that you brought, In like you gotta it's. Time,
- 36:26Speaker 3: yeah it's. Got that's just it's really simple as. THAT
- 36:29Speaker 3: i mean outside of a couple of. Guys and Like
- 36:32Speaker 3: Omar certin is doing everything he can as a young,
- 36:33Speaker 3: player which is, awesome try to make an. Impact but you,
- 36:36Speaker 3: know you, know you brought TO lsu for a reason
- 36:38Speaker 3: and fair, unfair we know what that expectation.
- 36:40Speaker 8: Is and you, KNOW i like that they they Run
- 36:45Speaker 8: Rule tech on On. Tuesday gives them a little. Confidence
- 36:49Speaker 8: boo's going into the weekend with the bats kind of
- 36:51Speaker 8: hot a little, bit people hitting, homers LIKE Lsu baseball's
- 36:54Speaker 8: kind of, like you, know feels. Back maybe it feels
- 36:56Speaker 8: back in the locker room a little bit because bats
- 36:58Speaker 8: are alive and so hopefully they can just roll keep
- 37:01Speaker 8: rolling with, that roll with the momentum they have from
- 37:03Speaker 8: That tuesday. Win even though it is a in, state you,
- 37:06Speaker 8: know kind of midweek game, whatever those bats are still
- 37:09Speaker 8: rolling and so to to be able to keep rolling
- 37:14Speaker 8: as it may be a, struggle BUT i think they're
- 37:16Speaker 8: gonna come out, hot come out, swinging and and come
- 37:19Speaker 8: out with you, Know jay's typical offense style and just
- 37:22Speaker 8: GO i.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Mean jason a message by sitting a COUPLE i mean
- 37:24Speaker 3: sitting in a couple of guys changing some lineup. Stuff
- 37:27Speaker 3: you could Tell jay got to a point where he's,
- 37:29Speaker 3: like all, right, guys like we're not playing nice, Anymore
- 37:31Speaker 3: like we got to figure this.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Out, yeah there's no more options. Here we're figuring it.
- 37:35Speaker 8: Out and you, know you know who he wants to, play,
- 37:38Speaker 8: right you know who he wants to, succeed and he
- 37:40Speaker 8: wants everybody to.
- 37:40Speaker 4: SUCCEED i don't mean to say, That.
- 37:42Speaker 8: Yeah but you Sit york after his worst game for a,
- 37:45Speaker 8: reason and and the and you, know For yorke to
- 37:48Speaker 8: come back and respect that decision and then hit two,
- 37:51Speaker 8: homers that shows a lot of promise to. Me and
- 37:54Speaker 8: so hopefully that bat gets hot. Again you, know you
- 37:56Speaker 8: Have Jake, Brown Jared, curio who are gonna be On
- 38:00Speaker 8: but you need that that other half of the.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Line up to step. Up gotta have somebody Protect Jay.

- 42:17Speaker 3: a late. Boy it's gonna be nine o'clock Here central.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Time that, game of, course is being played out In,
- 42:24Speaker 3: sacramento and it's a it's a good. Matchup it's a
- 42:27Speaker 3: matchup that we have already seen this. Year both these
- 42:30Speaker 3: teams are gonna be a little bit different.
- 42:32Speaker 4: Here you. Know at the, Time, GOSH i Think duke was.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Something like three and six and they ended up twenty
- 42:39Speaker 3: six and eight on the. Year but like Coach kimbulke
- 42:42Speaker 3: told us earlier this week with her weekly visit.
- 42:45Speaker 4: That you, know this was a game that l she was.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Down they were kind of down.
- 42:48Speaker 3: Big and remember to that, POINT lsu had scored one
- 42:51Speaker 3: hundred points every game and.
- 42:52Speaker 4: They hadn't really been.
- 42:53Speaker 3: Tested they got, tested but they certainly punched back and
- 42:57Speaker 3: they ended, up you, know falling short of one hundred
- 42:59Speaker 3: by like and if you, remember like that was the storyline, Was,
- 43:02Speaker 3: hey L sho didn't score one. Hundred it's like, yeah
- 43:04Speaker 3: but they went on the road and beat a Good
- 43:06Speaker 3: duke basketball. Team so this is going to be a
- 43:09Speaker 3: rematch of something we've already. Seen as we, know these
- 43:12Speaker 3: games are going to always go different than they did
- 43:16Speaker 3: the first.
- 43:16Speaker 4: Time, Again duke jumped out to a big.
- 43:18Speaker 3: Lead they won the first, quarter BUT lsu won every
- 43:21Speaker 3: quarter after. That in the second quarter, alone they Outscored
- 43:24Speaker 3: duke thirty one to, nineteen twenty to, eighteen, third twenty
- 43:27Speaker 3: two to sixteen in the, fourth and they were victorious
- 43:31Speaker 3: on the road ninety three to seventy.
- 43:33Speaker 4: Seven this is a game in WHICH lsu is gonna have.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Advantages we've talked about the matchup throughout the. WEEK i
- 43:40Speaker 3: like the matchup FOR. Lsu duke, again very good basketball.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Team they have continued to get. Better but right, now
- 43:47Speaker 3: when you look at WHERE lsu is compared To duke
- 43:52Speaker 3: and some of the advantages that they're going to, Have
- 43:53Speaker 3: Like duke scores seventy four points per, game lshoes at
- 43:57Speaker 3: ninety five points per, game and they bout give up the.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Same they're both right at fifty nine to sixty points
- 44:03Speaker 3: per game giving. Up so the advantage To duke on
- 44:06Speaker 3: defense is not there like it is for most teams
- 44:09Speaker 3: that go Against. Duke and certainly you have the advantage on.
- 44:12Speaker 3: Offense you rebound it, better you shoot it, better you
- 44:15Speaker 3: have more assists per, game you have more steals per.
- 44:19Speaker 3: Game So els she's got a lot of advantages in
- 44:21Speaker 3: this game Against. Duke, now again you have to know
- 44:24Speaker 3: this is a different. Game it's not the same game
- 44:27Speaker 3: that was the first. Game and sometimes that's hard as a, player,
- 44:31Speaker 3: RIGHT i, MEAN i dealt with it in my. Career
- 44:33Speaker 3: elandra probably dealt with it in, Softball taylor did in,
- 44:36Speaker 3: Football like you play a team that you already beat
- 44:39Speaker 3: and maybe you relax just a little bit and sometimes
- 44:43Speaker 3: they get you in. Trouble, heck WE i deal with
- 44:45Speaker 3: it coaching youth. Sports it's, like, oh, man we killed
- 44:47Speaker 3: that team last, year it's, like this isn't last. Year
- 44:50Speaker 3: or we beat that team in the regular, season it's
- 44:52Speaker 3: not the regular. Season things. Change you have to as
- 44:56Speaker 3: a player treat this like you're playing a team that
- 44:59Speaker 3: sure the information about, them like it's good you get
- 45:02Speaker 3: a book on the, team but you don't allow it
- 45:05Speaker 3: to become the only part of the.
- 45:06Speaker 4: Story like you have to reset a part of your.
- 45:09Speaker 3: Mind and so LSU's done that for the most part
- 45:12Speaker 3: all season, long and if they can get that done,
- 45:15Speaker 3: again it is certainly going to bode well for The
- 45:17Speaker 3: tigers Now. Duke in their path to this, game they
- 45:20Speaker 3: Beat charleston eighty one to sixty four in the first.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Round charleston was a fourteen, seed and then they Beat,
- 45:27Speaker 3: baylor a six, seed sixty nine to forty. Six there
- 45:31Speaker 3: in the round of thirty. Two it sets up this
- 45:32Speaker 3: matchup WITH. Lsu lshue of course Beat jacksonville one sixteen
- 45:36Speaker 3: to fifty, eight and then they Beat Texas, tech who
- 45:38Speaker 3: was a seventh, seed one oh one to forty. Seven
- 45:42Speaker 3: LSU's certainly riding high going into this. Game ls who's
- 45:44Speaker 3: at eight and a half point favorite in this game as,
- 45:47Speaker 3: well and, HONESTLY i think they're minus one eighteen at
- 45:54Speaker 3: eight and a half and So duke right now only
- 45:58Speaker 3: minus one oh two to cover the. Game SO lsu
- 46:01Speaker 3: are favored in every way here in this. One and
- 46:03Speaker 3: if they can go in there play like they have been. Playing,
- 46:07Speaker 3: again we laid out the, stats we laid out the,
- 46:09Speaker 3: analytics they have a lot of advantages in this. One
- 46:12Speaker 3: And i'm looking forward to ANOTHER lsu victory Against. Duke
