  Speaker 4: hands immediately.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Landra, this might be a topic that you would like.

  Speaker 3: A local correspondents on the cartel?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I'm always scared that this is right up your alley.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then it's always the most insane headline ever.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: No, this is actually sporty. Okay, we're getting a rematch
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: eleven years later Mayweather Pack.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, I did see that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have agreed.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Stupid September nineteenth, twenty twenty six. They will be fighting
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: in the sphere in Vegas on Netflix.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Are they trying to That's usually around the time that
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Canelo fights, because it's around like Mexican Independence date. Are
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: they trying to upstage my guy? I don't know if
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: he has a fight coming up.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Actually, essentially smart though, they should put him in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: ring three way fight first.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: That would get some money.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: That would be badass. No, they you know what they
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: should do, tag team boxing match, Bring back Triple G
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: with Canelo Okay and then Pakia employee My Mayweather.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Definitely no Triple G is Kennedika Alovkin Ganadi. What words
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: did you just say to me? Last name? Okay? Hell, yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that's who he is.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: He just they had some chronic fights that would be
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: sick though.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Little tag team boxing match. I like that. Yeah, one old,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: one year reaching in the ring. Tag gods.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Smart to do it in Vegas. The look at a
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: senior citizen discount on some of the buffets. So that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: actually a good idea for Peck. Actually, I was kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: of surprised not yet. Uh Floyd Mayweather of course a
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: fifty and oh record. He is forty nine, yeah, Paqiao
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: sixty two eight and three forty seven years old, So
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: youth is on Peckya side. And Pacquiao is saying, like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I've been wanting this rematch. My shoulder was hurt back
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: in twenty fifteen. Convenient, that's why I lost. You get
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: the rematch, Floyd Maywee the currently minus won seventy five
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: to win the match.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Pack Yeah, play what is it. He's minus Mayweather's won
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: minus won seventy five, pac Yo plus one thirty five.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: So yeah, what's the point on this? But I mean, okay,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I know it's fine when it's abstupid. Should make money,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: make money, ish money, pay it. That's the man has
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: money and they're gonna make a lot of it. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: know Floyd likes to spend it, so he still have
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the private jet probably.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I mean he literally was called the Money Team.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Just saying like he was pretty famous for like doing
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: like multimillion dollar bets on different things.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: But you don't have to go back and fight. Just
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: sell your PG buddy or PJ or.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Keep it in fight. That's the other option, which is
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the option he's choosing.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: And it is always better to have a private jet
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: than not, that's true.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And you're also fighting another old So this is.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Going to be probably what, uh eight figure pay day,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars. Yeah, I mean it's Netflix, So
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Netflix of course says the worldwide you know whatever, they
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: as much money as they want.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: What was the last perse.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Eleven years ago.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which obviously fifty to ozer record. Mayweather won that one.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Pakia's shoulder was hurt.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was it shoulder. Then it went all the
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: way to.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Decision forty seven had shutter?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Was that twenty fifteen right?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. Twenty fifteen.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Fight grossed well over six hundred million in total revenue,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: So Mayweather's earnings were around one hundred and eighty to
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty million, and then pakils were around
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty two one hundred.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: And thirty A fight too, I take it back, Yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: well was I say it again?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry say the perse again.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: May The total for the fight, it was well over
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: six hundred and million dollars, six hundred million dollars in
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: total revenue like pay per view, ticket sales, sponsors all that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Mayweather's purse was around one hundred and eighty to two
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million, and then pakiws pakios was one
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: hundred and twenty two one hundred and thirty.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Million two and this is in twenty fifteen DoLS. That
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: was probably like standard pay per view. Like I don't understand,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: you know, I know that Netflix gets a bump on
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of things, but I don't know how their
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: business model and paved.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: I don't either, because This is only like what the
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: second or third fight that they've broadcasted, like they did
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the Jake Paul versus Tyson that one.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: That one was awful because it no one could watch
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: it because it just wasn't ready for it. Now they
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: improved and then they brought NFL to Netflix as well,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: and everything's been actually really good since then.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: But that was terrible. So they learned a lot.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know if the NFL has as much viewers
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: as like a boxing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: So you got to think that they're not taking less
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: than what they got paid then to come back as
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: forty nine to forty seven year olds to punch each
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: other's in the face.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Let me see what Jake Paul versus Tyson so was
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: aer Logan.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: It seems like a like a like a lost leader
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: for Netflix to do that. I mean they're coming out
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: of pocket, I mean at least three hundred million to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: pay these two gentlemen. They're not really it's not a
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: payer plate like pay for view scene.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because yeah, you're right, they're not going to get
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: pay per view earnings because they don't have.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Now, they'll get a lot of new followers or subscribers.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Excuse me.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Look at some of the because like Netflix will do
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: the live ads like they did with with the NFL
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: they like they did, they did all that live.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: The Sphere is going to get theirs too.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: I don't even want to know how much of his
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: tickets are going to be.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I'm watch The Wizard of Oz, like the movie we've
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: all seen numerous times. You can go to Vegas and
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: watch that in the Sphere.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It is like two D.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Matt did that Stona original. You went to go watch
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: The Sphere looks awesome. I don't know if I'm paying
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: two hundred bucks it does.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: It's probably the not what's showing. It's probably just the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: being in it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Being in it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: This is when we can go, what what what's the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: show around this time that we can go, Yeah, why not,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: We'll just I'll go enjoy the Sphere one time you're
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: there once.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I do want to see it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: So this is definitely like a money thing because Floyd
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Mayweather's also suing his broadcast partner, Showtime members. Showtime was
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: a thing, Okay, so he's suing them, and it's ex
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: president claiming they with the help of Mayweather's former advisor
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: concealed and diverted revenue from his earnings through boxing. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: he's seeking three hundred and forty million dollars in damages
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: through this lawsuit. So I think he's I think he's broke.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: He's just to be blunt, just to be blunt, Like,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I think this is a money grab for sure. I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: obviously it was going to be they're old and they're whatever.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: But and if he can do anything for one hundred
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and eighty million dollars at any age, like you do
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: it right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: So I say anything, not anything.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Jake Paul Just for reference, I know Jake Paul is
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: not going to have the same pool as Floyd Mayweather
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: and many patt But to be fair, Mike Tyson was
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: in this too, Jake Paul. It was reported to have
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: earned forty million dollars for the fight, and yeah, that
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: was his purse and the estimated share revenue from the event.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Mike Tyson only got like twenty million for that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I who through the fight he could have punched him.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I guess, look at I think we think, because of inflation,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: that they would we assumed that they would get more
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: than they got twenty fifteen, but I assumed that in
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: twenty fifteen.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: There was a lot more at stake.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: This was like this is this is more of a
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: active this is more of an exhibition. Yes, hey they
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: can they can act like in the you know, pre
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: fight stuff like they hate each other and stuff, but
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: like their business partners. Right, But there was a lot
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: more at steak then. I'm assuming, like real belts and
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: things like that. There was a sanction fight. I mean,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this was not, but I mean
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: that was like, yeah, four or tight. I guess I
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: assumed eleven years later, with inflation, they're gonna get paid more,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: But now I'm thinking, are they gonna get paid less?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Probably? Probably?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll find out. Yeah, Mike Tyson did
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: forget how to punch in that fight. I don't think
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: you forgot. He was just told not to.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Anthony Josh Wao didn't forget to forget. I really like that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I love a j.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Who's who's that boxer he lost to? That was like.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: It was looked out of shape the boat or the last.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: One the guys that looked out of shape.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: It was like years ago, are you're talking about You're
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: probably thinking of Deontay Wallder and Tyson Fury.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Is that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: There's Anthony oh Ruise you're talking about Ruise? Yeah, he
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: beat him once and then he lost to him too.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't look like they you're talking about. Should
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: have been in in the same ring. Yeah, Jake Paul
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: looked liked the better bye.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Over him. They beat him, beat him up, punch Hi
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: around the face. Anyway, So are you all excited about it?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I mean we can watch it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Obviously we're all watching it. You're not watching it, probably not, man,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: It depends on what else is going on that day.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Watch them.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: What day of the week is September nineteenth, it's a
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Friday or Saturday?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: No shot, grass is still growing in September.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm gonna be. That's a that's a
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Saturday in September. I will absolutely not be watching that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point in the in the chat here,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the first fite was boring, so I would the second
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: one be any good? Aren't all Mayweather fights pretty boring?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Defensive secretary of Defense.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: That was like the thing about, Yes, he's a defensive fighter.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: So that was the thing that people would say about
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Mayweather all the time, like he just runs around the
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: ring or is.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: He just there's how to win point?
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: That's that was always his his way of doing it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Got him a good record, I mean if you can, yeah,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: fifty and oh he.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Played defense all the way to one hundred and eighty
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: million dollars. Person, good for you?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Do you think he's broke though, Like, let's sake, let's
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: take you about. You think he's broke?
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Just pure speculation. I think he is because he's suing
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: for three hundred and fifty million and then suddenly coming
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: out to fight.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Broke.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I think he's close to it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I mean what, like what the definition of his broke
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: is probably different than our definition. He probably just can't
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: live money. Probably has a big asset, but like how
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: much of that is he can't how much of it
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: as cat?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't blow money right now, which is what's
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: just like what he wants to do, which is what
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: he can't lift his money Mayweather right now, he's owe
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: money Mayweather.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh I like that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I went to uh Lacey and I went to Nashville.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: It's probably five years ago now, and we went to
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: an Elton John concert. Fine, it was in It was awesome.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I've always wanted to go to Elton John concert. It
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: was in Titan Stadium. I don't know the name of
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the stadium. Yep, it was, you know, the big stadium.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Tour blah blah blah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there and I'm watching him and.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Fantastic. Obviously I'm not I'm like, why is he still
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: doing this? Like why is he still touring? And come
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: to find out, it was the money thing, like he had.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: He loves to spend money, that's his thing. He's got
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: houses and like six of the seven continents he's got
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: all this stuff like, and he lives a very the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: lifestyle and he needed the money.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: So he's out.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: There and you know, it's elderly at this point, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: he's walking around controlling the stage and doing it. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: you know, if you are use your skill set, use
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: your talents, and do it as long as you can.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: But if you got to live that lifestyle, you gotta
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: stay performing. You can ever retire, you gotta keep on
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I'm still standing, gotta keep on standing.

• 25:35
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back here off the Bench Thursday morning,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: ninety a, live from the Raisin Kine Studio. We are
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: lucky fortunate enough to have I guess it is coming
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: to us every single week right here on off the bench,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: the best college baseball coach in the country, Coach Jay Johnson.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: We got him on the line. Coach, how you doing
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: this morning?
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Being great? Matt?
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: How you doing doing fantastic? Coach? Great to have you.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: We appreciate your time as always, I just kind of
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: want to, I guess, dive right into everything, you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks into the season now, of course,
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: coming off a midweek loss this past week, this past
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Tuesday to big Nie, just kind of want to get
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: your thoughts on the game, how everything went. And I
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: know you want to win every single game, but I
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: know there's a constant evaluation what going on at this
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: part of the season, of course, but just give me
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: your kind of overview thoughts on the game on Tuesday.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, not not our best game, obviously. I think the
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: team had played honestly great for eight games, like I
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: mean in Jacksonville, probably hard to ask for much more,
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: especially this time of the year, and felt, you know,
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: very good about how we played. I did talk to
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: them immediately after winning that tournament about the difficulty that
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Tuesday can bring and kind of tab it as the
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: week three coma of college baseball where the newness kind
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: of wears off, and you know, we always try to
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: be ahead of it. I like how they competed and
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: fought back in the game. We had two innings get
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: away from us defensively, and I think and from the mound,
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: and I think that's the next task for this team
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: is if we can stay out of big innings, we're
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: gonna be really hard to beat. So we have to
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: really make sure we're on top of that, you know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: with the pitching staff, because if we can keep that,
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: you know, the inning at a one or a two. Offensively,
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: even though it wasn't our best game, we did still
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: find a way to score six runs and and got
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: the go ahead or the winning run on base of
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: the ninth inning, you know, provided it wasn't our best
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: game offensively, So that's kind of the next task. And
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: excited to get into five games and six days again
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: starting tomorrow and get back competing.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I think for coaches out there, I think that's probably
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the part that is that's talked about the least amount
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: of your job and what you deal with day. Of course,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: it's the it's the game plan, and it's the lineup building,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: it's it's coach your philosophy. But I mean coaches are psychiatrists.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: A lot of times you have to understand and teach.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're dealing with guys that are eighteen to
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: twenty three years old. These these are people out of
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: pretty young young folks in their life and they have
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: to learn. You can practice all you want, you can
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: practice hard, but you played a lot of baseball in
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: the first two weeks, and then they have to reset
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: their mind and come out on a Tuesday. And it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: just how much do you focus on just the psychology
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: of these guys, and like it's a learned thing of
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: how to reset from whether it's a loss, whether it's
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: a win, and come back. And of course they're gonna
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: have to reset from a Tuesday, but you've talked about
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: resetting from a Wednesday to a midweek game. So how
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: much do you just focus and take pride on teaching
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: these guys how to attack mentally every single game?
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll steal a coach David line of like we
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: literally try to work on mindset three hundred and sixty
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: five days a year in the program. And it is
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: the most important thing, and it's more important. It's really
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: important in anything you're trying to do in higher performance.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: It's really important with baseball with the monotony of the game,
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: the amount of games, the element of failure within baseball,
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: the degree of concentration that's required to be really really successful,
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: and if it you know, we try to get them
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: to where we don't have to learn the lessons in office,
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: and we've been really good at that year, and you
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: know we it got us a little bit. And and
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: again like I thought, our guys, they competed fine. We
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: got to go ahead run on base in the ninth inning.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: I think there was like a the second to the
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: fourth inning offensively where for the first time all year,
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: really all year, we got a little bit out of
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: sorts and let them, you know, pile up a few zeros.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: And then after that we were pretty good from the
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: fifth to the ninth on, but it was a little
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: too little, too late. And then defensively, like I said this,
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: this just comes down to our ability to stay out
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: of beginnings. And if you look at last year's team,
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: you know we did not give up very many the
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: innings of three runs or more. And that was we
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: were in every game that we played, with the exception
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: of one for an entire college baseball season. So I
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: think we have a pretty good idea of what's important.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: I feel, I know we have a good idea of
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: how we attack it. It doesn't make the games easy,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: and if you look around the country this week, like
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: pretty clear to see. I think six top ten teams
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: have lost, you know, either between Tuesday or Wednesday, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: so at baseball is great and maddening at the same time.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: And that's why all these things that you and I
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: are talking about are really really important. It's why I'm
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: having another staff meeting here as soon as I hang
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: up the phone with you to make sure we got
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: them dialed in.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I'd never stop grinding, whether it's physically, whether it's mentally, emotionally, spiritually,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: whatever it does. So watching the game, it was you
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: go through ten pictures, use ten ten pictures in a game.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I kind of wanted to see, like, what's your thought
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: process when you know, maybe there's some you know, some walks,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: some hit hip batters, things like that. It kind of
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: seemed like it got to the point I was like,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: all right, let's say this guy and you got a
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: lot of people, you're that you eight in a bullpen constantly.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: I know, it's all right, Uh, okay, you walked this sky.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Let's get another guy in. Like, what's your philosophy when
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: things are going with control issues and you going through
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of pictures throughout a game.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Well, we have depth on this staff and so we
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: don't have to necessarily stay with anybody that it's not
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: their night, so to speak. Yes, and I didn't really
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: operate that way. Every pitching decision I make is geared
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: to help the picture get the next guy out. And
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: I just feel like a couple the second inning, obviously,
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: and I believe it was the fourth, we just we
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: lost the zone. Gave them enough and give them credit,
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: they got a couple hits with runners in scoring position,
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: and that that was the difference in the game. We
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: set them up and then they took advantage of it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: And free bases and two out hitting or hitting with
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: runners in scoring position are going to be big predictors
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: and who's going to win. So I kind of tried
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: to stop talking about it, like it's super what I
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: call elementary baseball, Like hey, look, we can easily point
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: to how this happened tonight, and now it's about lining
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: the pitchers up mentally, physically, matchup wise. I feel good
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: about all of that, Like it just we painted ourselves
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: into a corner in two innings and they cashed in
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: and they deserve to win the game because of that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: I have, you know, a lot of faith and a
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: lot of guys, And like I said, our task is
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: making sure we're really dialed in with guys that can
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: come in and be firemen if you want to call
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: them that, Like, just shut the inning down, get us
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: off the field. You know who could throw strikes with
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: runners on base, who's got an outpitch for some of
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: the best hitters in the lineup. Just like I said,
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: if we could keep some of those innings at one
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: and two instead of three or four, we're going to
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: be in really good shape.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Catch Like, with two weekends into the season, how do
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: you how do you evaluate your weekend rotation as of
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: right now going into a weekend where you're about to
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: face dartbo at the Northeastern.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Well, I like where it's headed. I think when you
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: look at Cason, I think he pitched very well on Friday.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: I think we kind of had this weird inning again,
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: one of those three run innings happened where I mean
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: they had five or six hits off of him and
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: only one or two got to the outfield. It was
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: just like a super bizarre deal him getting two zeros
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: after all of that happening happening and getting us off
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: the field with a one run deficit, I believe in
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: the third inning the other day, I think that was
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: a lot of what we saw last year. So I'm
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: excited about him obviously. Moving forward, I think Cooper Moore
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: has done a great job, not a good job. Gave
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: up a two run homer near his last pitch of
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: the outing, but other than that, he's been spectacular. And
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: then William you know, through the ball Sunday like arguably
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: the best pitcher in the country, which I think he's
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: totally capable of being, and I think we're making some
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: real strides there. So I feel good about those guys.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: And the best part, particularly in Case and Williams cases,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: they're only going to continue to get better.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: I got to remember, you know, one of them pitched
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: largely in a midweek and one of them pitched out
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: of a bullpen last year. So even though they're sophomores,
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: even though they contributed largely to that national championship, they're
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: still new at being a weekend starter. It's like, you know,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: that sophomore quarterback that was a backup the year before.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: There's still a little bit of a learning curve, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: we're going to keep trying to bust through that as
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: fast as we can. But I think those guys are
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: going to.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Be great because it is coming from like a football
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: meadhead guy. So what is like, is it all mental?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: H going from the bullpen to a starter? Like, what
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: is the difference between you know, coming in and relieving
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: for three, four five innings and pitching starting pitching for three?
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: I think it's just you might say the same thing,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: you know, playing the level of football you did, Like
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: the best coach you're ever going to have in your
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: life is playing time and experience. And when you start
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: doing it and start doing it success fully, it builds confidence.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: When you build confidence, you build conviction in what you're doing,
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: and then the execution becomes better. And so I just
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: think it's a matter of that. And I really like
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: the way that those guys are trending, and I like
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: the way that I believe it's going to continue to trend.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's let's kind of shift the focus
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: to your lineup. I mean, of course, you have some
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: very valuable returners, but the new guys have really stepped
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: into the lineup and produced for you so far in
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: the season. Mason bron said, thought our Zach yor trick
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Carawait talk about they're kind of just getting into the team,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: justin with the team and the performance they've been able
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: to give you your lineup.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm very excited about all those guys. I think,
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: you know, Zach, you know, hits some long homers, gets
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: a lot of attention. But if you look up, the
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: on base percentage actually looking at it right now is
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: five twenty four, So that's valuable as well as the
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: ability to hit the ball over the fence, you know,
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: like walks in extra base hits is what we want
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: to design our offense around, and so he's a perfect
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: type player for that. I'm really impressed with Mason. You know,
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: you talk about young players being able to slow the
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: game down, and he showed a really good ability to
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: do that. You know, you'll continue to see more and
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: more of him to where I believe someday he'll be,
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: you know, the best hitter in the program, and might
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: be sooner than later. And just really like how he
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: goes about his business and has had I think of
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: the last eleven at bats, has had ten quality at
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: bats out of eleven, So feel good about that.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: You know Kate.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Aaron Beattie is another one that you know, one A catcher,
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: one B catcher last year, moving into the primary deal
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: this year and has put together some some good performances
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: so far. And it set Darter, you know, a guy
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: that makes our lineup really long. So I think those
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: new guys are doing a good job. And you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: you put them in with the skill sets of Derek
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: and Steven and Jay like gives us a chance to
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: score a lot in every game. And they're doing a
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: good job so far. Like I said, we had a
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: three inning stretch where we got outside ourselves. Other than that,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: you know, pretty pretty good marks for the offense so far.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Coach, how do you teach and coach power in the lineup?
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Is it something like when I'm talking about homeer? Is
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: it something like you don't talk about it just happens.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: You just have good at bats, make good cuts at
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: the ball a How do you coach that? Because of
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: course it's a huge tool, but it's just one of
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: many tools that you have offensively. Is it something that
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: you talk about or does it just come with good
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: at bats?
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good question. A lot of people have
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: different views on this. I think, first off, it's an
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: important component of college baseball because it covers up a
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: lot of other mistakes. And my theory is more college
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: baseball games are lost and not one and so the
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: power element, you know, can cover up some of the
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: mistakes that you make in the game. And so that's
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: why I viewed important. We teach it a little bit differently,
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: like I said, of the offense is built around walks
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: and extra base hits, and you know, the pitches you
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: don't swing at a lot of the time make your
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: at bats. And it's not just so you can walk.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: If you're really zoned into pitches you can drive, you're
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: gonna hit with more power. And then it becomes if
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: physicality issue and then like a swing issue, and we
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: work really hard on both of those, Chris Martin, you know,
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: with our strength and conditioning, Josh Imps and Mark Wanica
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: with their swing stuff. So it's a combo of a
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: lot of things. And you know, first off, probably good
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: recruiting is how you get there. And for me, it's
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: just it's a unique element because when you have it,
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: it can cover up a lot of the other problems
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: that you have within your team. So it's it's kind
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: of like weird. Having one element of a football team
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: that's really good, it can disguise a bunch of other stuff.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: And that's why it's important.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Uh, kind of like a little bit of the off
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: the field question here. But Chris Stanfield, he this past
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: we got to live like Luke Community Award and that
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: usually he speaks to somebody who is a good human
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: of course on and off, but a leader.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Usually what does he What does Kris Stanfield mean to
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: your team?
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Means everything to our team, everything to me. First off,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: we're gonna get him healthy and get him back on
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: the field, and we're moving in a good direction towards
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: that because he's a great player. But he's also a
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: great player for this team. That gives us the type
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: of balance that I think we need to be the
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: best that we can be. As far as that stuff.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Won the Tony Gwyn Award last year, lived like low
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: thing this year. The guy's just Hall of Fame human
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: being on and off the field, and a player that
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: is a huge reason why we won the twenty twenty
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: five National Championship. And you know, like I said, just
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: unfortunately got a weird slide and bruised his hand, you know,
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: pretty badly sliding into home plate in that second game
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: of the year. We need to get him back because
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: he adds a lot of the human being, adds a
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: lot of the leader, and adds a lot as a
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: baseball player. And we're turning in a good direction. But
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: I'll be happy when we can get him back out
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: on the field.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll be happy to know.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: He is my ten year old son's favorite, absolute favorite
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: player on the team.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: So he good choice fireboy, right there.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. He's got a good judging character. All right.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Last last question for you coaching. Again, this is coming
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: from an absolute meat head over here who who played football.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Coach three and Z counts. Can we get some swing aways?
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: They're getting some meatballs out there?
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Oh we have them.
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's part of the deal. Like it just depends.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: The situation has got to be right. You know, a
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: bad runner too out nobody on base, well, single is
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: not going to do us any good, so or a walk,
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: so we might as well let a guy go for
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: an extra base hit, you know, runner and scoring position.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: You know, the guy that can handle the discipline of
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: not trying to do too much. You know like it's
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: it's unique. Derek's a guy like I would love for
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: him to swing with three to zero a runner and
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: scoring position, but he's got such good plate discipline. He
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: doesn't like to do it a lot. But that's the
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: exact guy, because you trust the type of swing he's
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: gonna put on the ball. So there's times for it. Literally,
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: I know it may not seem like it, but every
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: pitch is thrown. I'm trying to do something to move
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: us closer to winning, and and those decisions are part
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: of it. And they're you're using a good spot in
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: a three to ocount and you got runners on base,
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: so let's get some more of those coming, and we'll
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: let the boys swing.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: A little bit. That's right. I love it, Coach. I
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: appreciate the time.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: There.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: He is, Coach Jay Johnson, good enough to join us
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: this morning. Thank you, coach, good luck this weekend?
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: All right, thanks man, see it, see you all right there.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: He is best coach college baseball. Right there, you're lsu tye.

• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Does LSU baseball go oh and three? This weekend?
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: No stupid question because they they play four games.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: They played three this weekend, but Monday they play.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: One, so they're going four.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: No.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ask the bench which LSU player is going highest
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: in the draft.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming you mean the football draft. That'd be Monsur. Yeah,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: but that's like the chalk answer. So after that, Garrett uh, A. J.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Halsey and Garrett are the rumored in day two. I
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: think Aaron Anderson, I'm gonna say, stay on that hype train.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna I don't think he's gonna go
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: higher than them, which is crazy to say that nus
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Meyer is going to be that's still had day two
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: after the season, but I love it. Ask the bench
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: just really asked Landra, how far did the orange cat
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: fly when you kick?
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't kick the cat, So like on a like.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Give us a percentage of strength you used on that kick.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't kick him.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: Oh guys, this is a pylon. She doesn't like to
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: talk about it. It was a moment of weakness for her.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: So did not kick a cat?
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: What is the proper technique to punt a cat?
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: No idea. I would not know.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I think it's a standard. That's probably she said she
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: didn't kick it, she punted.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's a standard and that either standard drop
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: kick like you put it backstre hey, pound it back. Hey.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Great show, Thank you for everybody, Thanks for everybody listening.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Try try try us A is the main thing, and
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: go is you? I love you later, dap the bench
