- 1:59Speaker 2: Tech did not get to host the regional and wrote
- 2:02Speaker 2: prove them wrong, ladies at the end of the article.
- 2:04Speaker 7: And I mean twelve to two in the two games
- 2:08Speaker 7: against Virginia Tech.
- 2:09Speaker 4: By the way, hey, you know, three or four Grand slams,

- 2:39Speaker 2: since twenty twenty four.
- 2:41Speaker 4: I was going to put that in a weekend loser,
- 2:43Speaker 4: but it's not even worthy of it. Whoever, I don't

- 4:21Speaker 5: It was a good time.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Oh, that's good. It's good. We were at like I said,
- 4:24Speaker 3: we were at a ball field all weekend.
- 4:25Speaker 4: We played a tournament that was on Memphis aside three
- 4:29Speaker 4: days long, so Friday, Saturday, Sunday we played all the games,
- 4:32Speaker 4: all the games, just a lot of baseball. Honey was
- 4:35Speaker 4: So we were in Zachary with Memphis and they were
- 4:38Speaker 4: Kadi's and placing men with Honey.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So we were like, you know, two ships passing in
- 4:42Speaker 3: the night.
- 4:44Speaker 6: I didn't realize they were in two different.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Very rarely are they in the same spot.
- 4:48Speaker 4: And when they are, it's it's great because we you know,
- 4:51Speaker 4: we obviously can for a lot of game changer for
- 4:54Speaker 4: for both of us, you know, watching between games, trying
- 4:56Speaker 4: to watch you got the one.
- 4:57Speaker 3: But y'all we been talking about the heat coming. It
- 5:02Speaker 3: was hot.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday it was hot. I mean like all weekend,
- 5:07Speaker 2: you know, even Friday.
- 5:10Speaker 3: It's not good people, it is not good.
- 5:13Speaker 5: Serious ten lines like not.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Good when you tan like I do and only part
- 5:19Speaker 4: of you sees the sun is not good.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Yeah, that's from one weekend. It's not good.
- 5:25Speaker 7: Oh you're about to be tan tany yesterday it was
- 5:28Speaker 7: the first time in a while, like I felt the
- 5:30Speaker 7: heat like you could.
- 5:31Speaker 5: You're like, okay, this is this is a hobbbay here today.
- 5:35Speaker 6: Friday was hot, Saturday was hot too.
- 5:39Speaker 3: It wasn't hot in the box.
- 5:41Speaker 6: M hm m hmm.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Man, I don't even know what to say about that.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Mylum is still really good. We're looking for a pop.
- 5:52Speaker 3: He's great. On the weekend, Yeah, they.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Were chanting one more year, and I don't know.
- 5:58Speaker 3: You're going to get about one more I don't know
- 6:01Speaker 3: that's gonna happen.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I hope so, but it's a really big ask to
- 6:06Speaker 2: ask him to come back.
- 6:07Speaker 4: Another year, because even somebody like that, he's going to
- 6:13Speaker 4: find his way on a roster, like at the highest
- 6:16Speaker 4: level I'm talking about. I think he's a big leaguer
- 6:18Speaker 4: because switch hitter, great defense, and tangibles are great.
- 6:23Speaker 3: He's got some pop. He's like, I don't I don't
- 6:26Speaker 3: know that. I don't know.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Is it ever gonna be he's your starting shortstop for
- 6:31Speaker 4: six years.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Maybe not.
- 6:33Speaker 4: You're gonna be in the show though, He's gonna be
- 6:35Speaker 4: on somebody's roster, a super utility guy.
- 6:42Speaker 3: He was great.
- 6:44Speaker 6: I mean, it's like it's just the same thing.
- 6:48Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 6:48Speaker 4: The first pitch went well, Jake, I think you out.
- 6:54Speaker 4: That was one of the coolest moments. I forgot I
- 6:56Speaker 4: kind of, I mean I forgot about it this weekend.
- 7:00Speaker 4: It feels like two weeks ago, right, So that was
- 7:04Speaker 4: very cool, Landra, you did great setting all that up,
- 7:07Speaker 4: so certainly appreciate it.
- 7:11Speaker 6: The coolest thing ever.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and if we were more competitive, to
- 7:14Speaker 4: be even cooler. But it's still very fun for me,
- 7:17Speaker 4: Like just to bring my son like out there was fun.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Like Memphis was eating it up. He went and got
- 7:24Speaker 4: his ball signed by Stephen Miluma was talking with him
- 7:26Speaker 4: because Memphis has never met a stranger and he's just
- 7:29Speaker 4: sitting there and just enjoying it. And then I was
- 7:32Speaker 4: like Hey, you want to go out to the mound
- 7:33Speaker 4: with me? And you know, just thinking he would think
- 7:36Speaker 4: that was really cool, like yeah, and so he's given
- 7:41Speaker 4: me a hard time.
- 7:41Speaker 3: He's like back up, back up, So like I get
- 7:44Speaker 3: on the rubber.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Throw the pitch, whatever, and we'll get to Ronnie and
- 7:49Speaker 4: him talking trash a little bit later, guy and throwing
- 7:52Speaker 4: the strike in the box yet so throw it whatever.
- 7:55Speaker 4: I'm going about, like, you know, you kind of jog
- 7:57Speaker 4: back to the catcher, right, that's what they do your job.
- 8:00Speaker 4: You shake the hand, you get the ball whatever. I'm
- 8:01Speaker 4: jogging back whatever, and the player goes, hey, so you
- 8:05Speaker 4: want to get one too, And I'm thinking in my
- 8:08Speaker 4: mind like oh my god, He's like what and like
- 8:11Speaker 4: by the I swear like so I kind of turned
- 8:13Speaker 4: around and like by the time I'm asking him, hey,
- 8:17Speaker 4: do you want to get one?
- 8:18Speaker 3: Like he's basically towing the rubber.
- 8:20Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:20Speaker 4: And then so like I jogged off, So I'm like
- 8:25Speaker 4: I want he's about to have a moment. I'm walking,
- 8:26Speaker 4: I'm jogging off the field. I'm gonna watch this. And
- 8:29Speaker 4: I didn't have time to get nervous. Yeah, Like I
- 8:31Speaker 4: didn't have time to get nervous for him, and I'm like, oh,
- 8:34Speaker 4: he's towing the rubber like he's about to throw it
- 8:38Speaker 4: sixty six.
- 8:41Speaker 6: Video the dog.
- 8:42Speaker 4: And then by the time I by the time I
- 8:45Speaker 4: like turned around, he's throwing a seed right down the
- 8:47Speaker 4: middle of the plate.
- 8:48Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:50Speaker 4: It was awesome. Yeah, the crowd was much louder than
- 8:55Speaker 4: they should have been.
- 8:56Speaker 3: He threw it harder than me. It was awesome.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Yeah, that was so funny. He literally did not care.
- 9:02Speaker 3: He and that's his in sports.
- 9:06Speaker 4: He's a really good athlete blah blah blah, but his
- 9:08Speaker 4: mentals or what makes him much better.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Yeah, like that he didn't care a crowd.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Of people, couldn't care less.
- 9:17Speaker 6: In alec Box stadium, couldn't care less.
- 9:20Speaker 4: In an SEC series against Florida, He's like, okay, yeah,
- 9:22Speaker 4: let me tell you this real quick, and that like
- 9:25Speaker 4: that's his biggest strong suit in sports. He just that
- 9:28Speaker 4: part has never gotten to him.
- 9:30Speaker 3: So fun.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Oh, then his brothers usually talked trash him, you know,
- 9:38Speaker 4: because his brothers they didn't have much to say that.
- 9:41Speaker 6: No, like, what are you supposed to say?
- 9:47Speaker 3: So it was good. That was good and I appreciate
- 9:50Speaker 3: you saiding that out for memory.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Yeah, that was awesome. Poor memory for everybody involved.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Even if Francis to ar contrash broadcast knowing Jumbo you
- 10:02Speaker 4: ain't thrown a strike in that place.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Yet, this is like, uh, I didn't hear it.
- 10:09Speaker 6: That's just what your mom says.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Oh, I got all the messages, don't worry. As soon
- 10:13Speaker 4: as Ronnie opened his big mouth, I got them all.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Don't worry. It was funny and I think this is true.
- 10:21Speaker 4: So the voice texts me and he's like, hey, we
- 10:23Speaker 4: kind of got like some track man set up whatever.
- 10:25Speaker 4: He's like, it's like, we got you at forty six.
- 10:29Speaker 4: We got Memphis at forty nine. And I was like, yeah,
- 10:32Speaker 4: I saw it.
- 10:33Speaker 6: Yeah right, I could see that Memphis through harder.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Than I did, no doubt, no doubt, And I didn't
- 10:39Speaker 2: even It happened so fast. I had cut the video
- 10:42Speaker 2: off and by the time I tried to like red
- 10:44Speaker 2: but I tried to like re record, and the ball
- 10:47Speaker 2: was already.
- 10:48Speaker 3: In the club. Yeah, it was so fast.
- 10:50Speaker 6: I think, Yeah, Katie's the one that got that video.
- 10:52Speaker 4: I think, yeah, it's not that one I got. I
- 10:54Speaker 4: got a couple of people that that sent it to me.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Moscona had had a view. Yeah, it was kind of
- 10:59Speaker 4: of a cool view too that he put out there.
- 11:01Speaker 3: But then after.
- 11:05Speaker 4: That, so we went from where we were, we went
- 11:11Speaker 4: up to the seats whatever, and then like I'm like,
- 11:13Speaker 4: he saying, hey.
- 11:14Speaker 3: To my family, and I'm like, y'all want something.
- 11:16Speaker 4: I'm go grab some doctor Peppers for the boys, and
- 11:18Speaker 4: so like I go get Sacks. I came back and
- 11:20Speaker 4: it was two to nothing Florida, and I was like,
- 11:23Speaker 4: the hell it all happened here.
- 11:25Speaker 6: I wanted to go get doctor peppers.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Oh my gosh it.
- 11:31Speaker 4: And look, I know the seasons that over, they took
- 11:33Speaker 4: out the SEC tournament. We'll talk about all of that,
- 11:35Speaker 4: but it's just that game in particular, like Friday was
- 11:41Speaker 4: just like they punched you in the mouth and it's like,
- 11:43Speaker 4: all right, we're done, We're good.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Now. You did have I mean the last game you had.
- 11:50Speaker 4: Some fight, but even Thursday, but Friday was just like
- 11:56Speaker 4: they threw a haymaker, you caught it on the chin,
- 11:58Speaker 4: you didn't try to get back up and that. And
- 12:00Speaker 4: I will say this, like as bad as it's been
- 12:03Speaker 4: for the most part, because you go back to the
- 12:06Speaker 4: Georgia series too, it's kind of the same things.
- 12:08Speaker 3: And just one game. Just quit.
- 12:11Speaker 4: If you're watching this on YouTube now, you're about to
- 12:12Speaker 4: watch Memphis absolutely show me up here towing the rubber
- 12:18Speaker 4: boom right down the middle.
- 12:20Speaker 3: I had a leg kick two this kid doing.
- 12:25Speaker 6: I love the confidence, oh man.
- 12:28Speaker 4: So we'll recap all the bad baseball, we'll recap all
- 12:33Speaker 4: the really good softball. Will Helwers will come in today,
- 12:38Speaker 4: so we'll kind of get one final thought from him.
- 12:40Speaker 4: In the regular season previous the SEC tournament, something will
- 12:43Speaker 4: certainly been through and what it would take for LSU
- 12:46Speaker 4: to make a crazy run, because teams that already have
- 12:50Speaker 4: their positioning right, we've seen LSU certainly do this in
- 12:53Speaker 4: the past. Like they're going to play it a different way.
- 12:55Speaker 4: LSU's playing for their lives. I mean they are playing
- 12:58Speaker 4: to continue their season, and so when you play it
- 13:01Speaker 4: like that, we have certainly seen teams go out there
- 13:04Speaker 4: and make a run. So we'll preview that with Will.
- 13:07Speaker 4: We've got weekend winners and losers as well. Marler I
- 13:12Speaker 4: think's coming in. I don't know, he's got a tummy ache.

- 13:16Speaker 4: got all that coming your way. When we jump back here,

- 15:42Speaker 9: I like it.
- 15:53Speaker 2: It does make me a little sad though, because they
- 15:56Speaker 2: play this after LSU baseball games, and then so like
- 16:01Speaker 2: the last few years, it's ingrained like a really like
- 16:06Speaker 2: nostalgic feeling for me for when they're winning.
- 16:10Speaker 6: And now it's like, all right.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Last part about the first pitch, because I forgot about
- 16:18Speaker 4: this part and that was pretty funny.

- 19:25Speaker 4: but look, I think softball deserves their flowers.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Here.
- 19:28Speaker 4: We're gonna start our show talking about the positives. We're
- 19:31Speaker 4: gonna talk about the team that went out there, and
- 19:34Speaker 4: a lot of people were questioning while Virginia Tech wasn't
- 19:38Speaker 4: hosting a regional because they were number eleven in the country,
- 19:41Speaker 4: LSU was number eighteen in the country. Those are just
- 19:43Speaker 4: top twenty five rankings. Those aren't the RPI and RPI
- 19:47Speaker 4: LSU was the head of Virginia Tech and so it's
- 19:49Speaker 4: a metric that we use. So guess what post season
- 19:52Speaker 4: baseball in Tiger Park. And then LSU went out there
- 19:54Speaker 4: and absolutely proved why they should be hosting a regional.
- 19:58Speaker 3: They're so good at home.
- 20:00Speaker 4: And they played Acron in the first game, they beat
- 20:02Speaker 4: them eight to nothing in six innings.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Okay, well that's supposed to happen, it's one versus four. Okay.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Well, then after that they played Virginia Tech on Saturday.
- 20:11Speaker 4: They also beat them eight to nothing in six innings.
- 20:14Speaker 4: So you go out and then Sunday you closed it out,
- 20:18Speaker 4: you win seven to two. It was really just total
- 20:21Speaker 4: domination all week in there in Tiger Park, and it
- 20:26Speaker 4: was a team that looked really confident. I don't know,
- 20:30Speaker 4: you know how many of you got to watch the
- 20:32Speaker 4: games live, but if you did, it was one of
- 20:34Speaker 4: those feels where, oh, they're not going to lose today.
- 20:38Speaker 4: Really both times, and that's that's a really good spot
- 20:41Speaker 4: to be in. They had some incredible performances in the circle,
- 20:45Speaker 4: but it was really, I mean a total team effort.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I mean it was on the mound, it was in
- 20:49Speaker 3: the lineup. They left no doubt.
- 20:51Speaker 4: Now we'll get to what they you know, are facing
- 20:54Speaker 4: now they've got an uphill battle.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Obviously we talked about it before it happened.
- 20:58Speaker 4: But for bets Arena, her staff, her players, they went
- 21:02Speaker 4: out there for a season that did not start great,
- 21:05Speaker 4: a season that you know, you go to Clearwater, you're
- 21:07Speaker 4: playing some really good teams, you get punched. How are
- 21:10Speaker 4: you going to react to it? And it took them
- 21:12Speaker 4: a while to get off the mat. But once they
- 21:15Speaker 4: got off the mat, then they've really been playing I
- 21:20Speaker 4: would say top ten softball ever since the South Carolina Series.
- 21:24Speaker 4: And so to see them go out there again, this
- 21:27Speaker 4: Virginia Tech team was number eleven in the country. So
- 21:30Speaker 4: we're talking about a really probably the best two seed
- 21:33Speaker 4: out there of any regional that you had, and you
- 21:36Speaker 4: left no doubt who the better softball team was. And
- 21:40Speaker 4: so Alando Tate just seeing the softball team be able
- 21:44Speaker 4: to regroup. They've got a lot of new figure each
- 21:48Speaker 4: other out, learn each other, and then in the middle
- 21:50Speaker 4: portion of the season go and handle business.
- 21:52Speaker 7: I watched this team last year and I actually did
- 21:54Speaker 7: the final game with Patrick last year when they lost
- 21:58Speaker 7: to Southeastern in the regional, and I thought was, if
- 22:00Speaker 7: you can't get back to Oklahoma City this year, then
- 22:03Speaker 7: win game you because you had Sydney Burson who was dominant,
- 22:07Speaker 7: even though it was pretty good as a freshman. She's
- 22:08Speaker 7: obviously taking a step forward. But you look so dominant
- 22:11Speaker 7: through most of that season last year and you.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Come up short.
- 22:15Speaker 7: That's why I keep saying like, this is a complete
- 22:17Speaker 7: opposite of last year's team in the best possible way.
- 22:20Speaker 7: You had tough competition at the beginning of the year
- 22:22Speaker 7: that I mean, let's be honest, you struggled against but
- 22:25Speaker 7: once you hit the stride, it kind of just clicked.
- 22:27Speaker 7: Like you mentioned South Carolina, kind of halfway through that
- 22:29Speaker 7: SEC series or SEC season, a switch just flipped. Whatever
- 22:34Speaker 7: that switch was, it flipped. And yeah, I mean, if
- 22:37Speaker 7: you're any team hosting a Super regional planning on getting
- 22:41Speaker 7: to Oklahoma City, you don't want to face LSU because
- 22:44Speaker 7: right now they're playing complete ball.
- 22:49Speaker 3: We know what this sets up.
- 22:52Speaker 4: This sets up a super regional in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. You're
- 22:57Speaker 4: going to face the number one overall seed, Alabama. Now
- 23:00Speaker 4: they were ranked third in the country, in the top
- 23:02Speaker 4: twenty five, but number one here in the postseason rankings.
- 23:07Speaker 3: It's going to be a challenge.
- 23:08Speaker 4: You're a really good softball team, but look, you're a
- 23:13Speaker 4: national seat, like you know, a host as well, So
- 23:18Speaker 4: with the way that you're playing, LSU softball is not
- 23:21Speaker 4: going to half step into this like, oh man, this
- 23:23Speaker 4: was great, Like we got to this point, like they're
- 23:25Speaker 4: going to have every intention of going down there and
- 23:28Speaker 4: pulling off the upset. So I'm looking forward to it.
- 23:31Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to seeing this team as hot as
- 23:36Speaker 4: they are going to place. Look another really good hot
- 23:39Speaker 4: softball team like Alabama's number one. They left no doubt
- 23:43Speaker 4: in their regional as well. But I also like the
- 23:50Speaker 4: fact that Virginia Tech was in town and so you
- 23:55Speaker 4: didn't have, you know, this two seed that you didn't
- 24:00Speaker 4: really respect, like you had a two seed that a
- 24:02Speaker 4: lot of people were pushing to be their own regional
- 24:04Speaker 4: host site.
- 24:05Speaker 3: So again, it's going to be a challenge.
- 24:07Speaker 4: Alabama, I think was fifty two and seven overall on
- 24:10Speaker 4: the season, and then you know, in their regional, as
- 24:14Speaker 4: I said, I mean, there was no doubt who the
- 24:16Speaker 4: best team there was. But we all know LSU and
- 24:21Speaker 4: Alabama and Alabama's head coach Patrick Murphy.
- 24:24Speaker 3: There's history there, so it adds to the intrigue.
- 24:26Speaker 4: And so looking forward to LSU going two Tuscalosis, seeing
- 24:30Speaker 4: if they can pull off the upset. Those games are
- 24:32Speaker 4: going to be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if necessary. Friday
- 24:35Speaker 4: first pitch six pm, and then Saturday first pitch going
- 24:39Speaker 4: to be at two pm.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Game one is going to be on ESPN two.
- 24:43Speaker 4: Game two going to be on main ESPN against Saturday
- 24:47Speaker 4: at two pm Central time. So looking forward to that.
- 24:50Speaker 4: All right, we will step away. That was the fun stuff,
- 24:54Speaker 4: that was the good stuff. That was the positive stuff.
- 24:57Speaker 4: LSU softball, all the great things they did. When we
- 25:00Speaker 4: come back, I can be as positive. We'll break down
- 25:03Speaker 4: LSU baseball and what happened there and break it all down,
- 25:07Speaker 4: and you know, look at their path for the SEC tournament,
- 25:11Speaker 4: see what they would have to do to pull off
- 25:12Speaker 4: a miracle, and we'll break it all down when we
- 25:14Speaker 4: come back here on OTB off the bench, all right,

- 26:38Speaker 3: This song says she singing.
- 26:45Speaker 1: In the dop bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by
- 26:48Speaker 1: Buyou Automotive.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Now Sandy, nothing else matter, all right, Welcome back in OTV,
- 27:06Speaker 4: just real quick. Someone was asking inside of the chat
- 27:09Speaker 4: who Alabama played. They played South Carolina Upstate and beat
- 27:14Speaker 4: them eight to nothing on Friday. On Saturday played Belmont
- 27:18Speaker 4: beat them three to nothing, and then again on Sunday
- 27:21Speaker 4: they played UC Upstate and won that game nine to nothing.
- 27:25Speaker 4: So yeah, definitely not the Virginia Attack opponent that LSU had.
- 27:28Speaker 4: So we'll see, f LS you can use that to
- 27:31Speaker 4: their advantage playing a team that was number eleven in
- 27:33Speaker 4: the country.
- 27:34Speaker 3: But that's who Alabama played.
- 27:35Speaker 4: And again LSU Alabama in Tuscaloosa coming up this weekend
- 27:40Speaker 4: on ESPN two on Friday and ESPN on Saturday. All right,
- 27:45Speaker 4: before we get to the SEC Baseball tournament, just real
- 27:48Speaker 4: quick a recap. I know we've kind of joked about
- 27:51Speaker 4: it already. We joke so we don't cry. Florida beats
- 27:54Speaker 4: you on Thursday, as we know, we broke that down.
- 27:57Speaker 4: On Friday they win eleven to eight, and then they
- 28:00Speaker 4: come back on Friday that was just a non competitive game.
- 28:04Speaker 3: They win eleven to one in seven innings.
- 28:06Speaker 4: They run rule you on your field, and then Saturday
- 28:10Speaker 4: was fifteen to eleven as a football score out there
- 28:14Speaker 4: in the box, and you just look, you're not gonna
- 28:19Speaker 4: win an SEC game when you give up that many runs.
- 28:23Speaker 3: You give up thirty seven runs in three games.
- 28:27Speaker 4: I'll say that again, thirty seven runs in three games,
- 28:32Speaker 4: because I mean for you, I mean you score twenty runs,
- 28:36Speaker 4: score twenty runs in three games. A lot of times
- 28:39Speaker 4: it's gonna win you a series.
- 28:40Speaker 3: In the SEC.
- 28:41Speaker 4: Score twenty in three games, not when you give up
- 28:44Speaker 4: that many on the mound.
- 28:46Speaker 3: So more of the same.
- 28:48Speaker 4: We talked about it the other day, right lsu is
- 28:52Speaker 4: scoring runs, They're just they you know, outside of Friday
- 28:54Speaker 4: where they only score one. You're just not gonna win games.
- 28:58Speaker 4: It's just not gonna happen, not gonna be competitive there.
- 29:01Speaker 4: Like you take a look at what happened on Saturday.
- 29:05Speaker 4: All right, just just think about this real quick. If
- 29:08Speaker 4: I would have told you like this this stat line
- 29:11Speaker 4: before the season, even in the middle of the season,
- 29:14Speaker 4: it doesn't really matter. Steven Milam hits leadoff, he gets
- 29:17Speaker 4: two hits, four Rbiskuri El hit second, they scores two runs,
- 29:22Speaker 4: gets two hits, walks another time, So on base Kate
- 29:26Speaker 4: Aaron Bettie who's hitting third, he goes three for six
- 29:29Speaker 4: and has four RBIs. Mason Brown, who moves to clean
- 29:33Speaker 4: up from leadoff, he goes three for four with two RBIs.
- 29:37Speaker 4: So your first four hitters had ten hits and ten RBIs.
- 29:48Speaker 3: And he lost. It's kind of the summary of the season.
- 29:53Speaker 6: The entire season.
- 29:54Speaker 5: Couldn't take one game.
- 29:58Speaker 4: And Zach Cowan went out there and he's been putting
- 30:01Speaker 4: a spot that I don't think he anticipated him being in,
- 30:04Speaker 4: having to start this many games. And he goes three innings,
- 30:08Speaker 4: gives up four runs, strikes out four, doesn't walk any
- 30:12Speaker 4: so at least competitive on the mound. Font No comes
- 30:15Speaker 4: in after that, he gives up two runs, but it
- 30:18Speaker 4: was really when Sheering comes in, he only goes two
- 30:22Speaker 4: thirds of an inning, gives up three hits, five runs,
- 30:25Speaker 4: all earned, walks, one two wild pitches.
- 30:28Speaker 3: And that's all she wrote.
- 30:29Speaker 4: So we could just say Rents Washing repeat because it's
- 30:35Speaker 4: been the story. Certainly, there was a portion of the
- 30:39Speaker 4: season whenever you got to about the middle portion where
- 30:41Speaker 4: it's like this is going to be it like, if
- 30:43Speaker 4: we want to win baseball games as LSU baseball, we're
- 30:46Speaker 4: going to have to outscore teams. And look, you're tried,
- 30:48Speaker 4: and your damn this, you're trying to You're scoring eleven runs,
- 30:52Speaker 4: eight runs, and it just does not matter right now.
- 30:55Speaker 4: So if we're going to take any positives away from
- 31:01Speaker 4: what's been happening. It's gonna be Kate Aaron Beadie, It's
- 31:05Speaker 4: gonna be Mason Brawn, you know, sir. Obviously it's been
- 31:09Speaker 4: dealing with some stuff here and there, but when he's
- 31:11Speaker 4: been in he had another home run this weekend. Like,
- 31:13Speaker 4: those are the three players that you're gonna get excited
- 31:17Speaker 4: about because of what they've meant, and you know, being
- 31:20Speaker 4: players that are coming back, some only freshmen. So that's
- 31:24Speaker 4: where you're at right now. And we'll talk about the
- 31:26Speaker 4: SEC Baseball Tournament. But tte Alandra, this has just been
- 31:31Speaker 4: this team's mo The only thing you can kind of
- 31:34Speaker 4: take away from it right now is you've got some
- 31:38Speaker 4: young guys that are playing really well, and they're gonna
- 31:41Speaker 4: gain some confidence and they're gonna have to be your
- 31:43Speaker 4: dudes next year.
- 31:44Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 31:44Speaker 2: I think that's literally the only positive takeaway that you
- 31:47Speaker 2: can draw from this entire season. But I also think
- 31:50Speaker 2: that you can look forward to next season knowing that
- 31:54Speaker 2: I don't think Lsu or Jay Johnson are gonna let
- 31:57Speaker 2: something like this happen again.
- 31:59Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
- 32:00Speaker 2: In terms of roster management, who you go get, how
- 32:03Speaker 2: much money you can spend, like LSU has shown that
- 32:08Speaker 2: they are very invested in the NIL space, and they're
- 32:13Speaker 2: very invested in wanting winning programs and a winning athletic
- 32:18Speaker 2: program all across the board. So I just feel like
- 32:21Speaker 2: if money was an issue with j like it's been
- 32:24Speaker 2: alluded to for basically the entire season, when he's like, Hey,
- 32:29Speaker 2: my bad, I mess this roster up, then I don't
- 32:34Speaker 2: think that LSU is gonna let that happen again. And
- 32:37Speaker 2: I don't think that Jay is going to let lack
- 32:40Speaker 2: of talent happen again either. We all know he can recruit,
- 32:44Speaker 2: we all know he can develop players, and I'm excited
- 32:47Speaker 2: to see what he does with the freshmen that have
- 32:49Speaker 2: already improved and developed in just one season with Jay Johnson.
- 32:54Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean he can't miss in the portal again,
- 32:57Speaker 7: right like, because take my love out of the equation
- 33:00Speaker 7: because we don't know if he's coming back. If you
- 33:02Speaker 7: can get Braun Serna, Aaron Beattie, that's a pretty good
- 33:05Speaker 7: core right there of young guys, and then your pictures,
- 33:08Speaker 7: if you look at it, should should be back. Cooper
- 33:12Speaker 7: Moore has a chance to come back, case and Evans
- 33:13Speaker 7: should come back. Marcos paus is here, he's only a freshman.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Like your pitching stuff kind of looks okay too, But.
- 33:21Speaker 7: You can't miss on the portal. You got to go
- 33:22Speaker 7: get guys. Like two years ago you hit on everyone. Yeah,
- 33:26Speaker 7: and that was a little bit of an outlier. This
- 33:28Speaker 7: year also an outlier when you miss on every one
- 33:30Speaker 7: of them. And can you hit on you know, seven
- 33:33Speaker 7: eight guys out of the portal. Pair that with a
- 33:35Speaker 7: William Patrick or somebody that's that's shown progressing down the
- 33:37Speaker 7: season and you'll be fine.
- 33:38Speaker 5: But you can't miss on every player.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:40Speaker 4: And look, the MLB draft is we talked about it
- 33:43Speaker 4: like it got you. It got you this year, Like
- 33:46Speaker 4: you've been able to get some of those guys to
- 33:49Speaker 4: come to school because nil, it's a beautiful thing and
- 33:52Speaker 4: they'd rather make some money play for Lshue Baseball. You know,
- 33:56Speaker 4: when they get drafted, typically they have a cup of
- 33:59Speaker 4: coffee and single A they get, you know, accelerated to
- 34:02Speaker 4: double a pretty quick, or do you want to go
- 34:05Speaker 4: to rookie ball? Low a high A bus rides across
- 34:09Speaker 4: the country and that's what Jay Johnson's been selling and
- 34:11Speaker 4: the entire SEC has been selling. And you Look, you
- 34:14Speaker 4: just had some guys that they had an opportunity.
- 34:19Speaker 3: To make some game changing money and be a pro.
- 34:22Speaker 4: And so you know, you lost out on a handful
- 34:24Speaker 4: of those guys that you thought you had a chance,
- 34:26Speaker 4: because you did you had a chance. And so we'll
- 34:28Speaker 4: see what that looks like to high score recruiting class,
- 34:30Speaker 4: which is massive because we're seeing more and more freshmen
- 34:33Speaker 4: across the country be able to step in and play.
- 34:35Speaker 4: I mean, look, Mason Brawn, he's been hitting lead off
- 34:38Speaker 4: and he hits clean up in the same weekend, right,
- 34:42Speaker 4: and so like you can have impactful freshmen. So we'll
- 34:45Speaker 4: see what happens there. But yeah, I mean, look, the
- 34:47Speaker 4: portal is the portal. You got to hit on it.
- 34:49Speaker 4: You just have to, like whatever it takes to go
- 34:52Speaker 4: get a front line starter, you gotta go do whatever
- 34:56Speaker 4: it takes you get a front line reliever. You have
- 34:58Speaker 4: to go do you just have to That should be
- 35:01Speaker 4: your main focus. And look, we're not telling Jay Johnson anything.
- 35:04Speaker 4: He's best coach in baseball. I still believe that he's
- 35:06Speaker 4: won two of the last three Natties.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Right. If you want to argue, go argue with a wall,
- 35:11Speaker 3: because I don't care so.
- 35:14Speaker 6: You need to find the Ianson and the Anderson that
- 35:16Speaker 6: are out there.
- 35:17Speaker 4: I mean, think about Anthony Iinson that you see what
- 35:19Speaker 4: you see san Diego?
- 35:20Speaker 3: Yeah, right, and people talked about.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Him, but that's the thing, Like Jay has gone to
- 35:24Speaker 2: these smaller schools and he has found players that are really,
- 35:29Speaker 2: really good, like Anthony Iinson. I mean, you see San
- 35:32Speaker 2: Diego is not like a quote unquote small school, but.
- 35:34Speaker 3: It's not alright, you like, but it's in the big West.
- 35:37Speaker 4: It's Andy Irosen didn't have the fanfare that some of
- 35:40Speaker 4: the other people in Florida. But Jay look his Southern
- 35:43Speaker 4: California you know, I.
- 35:44Speaker 6: Mean even Zach Collin from Wafford.
- 35:46Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a pretty good scouting portal on him. Yeah,
- 35:48Speaker 4: you play against him and like, okay, I need that
- 35:50Speaker 4: guy on my team.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Right, So it's doable, yes, And he says everything's changing
- 35:56Speaker 2: so fast in college athletics and like it's kind of hard,
- 36:00Speaker 2: Like we talk about it all the time.
- 36:02Speaker 6: It's just hard to keep up with it.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I think Jay can and will, but there's just a
- 36:08Speaker 2: very disappointing bad season not.
- 36:10Speaker 7: Having an ACE. Really her, you didn't have an ACE
- 36:12Speaker 7: this year. I mean you thought Cason could maybe be
- 36:15Speaker 7: that guy.
- 36:15Speaker 5: He wasn't. We waited all year for it to come around.
- 36:18Speaker 5: It never happened.
- 36:18Speaker 7: William Schmidt couldn't be that guy. Like Cooper Moore was
- 36:21Speaker 7: your most consistent until he got injured last year.
- 36:23Speaker 5: What did we talk about?
- 36:24Speaker 7: Oh man, it's so rare to have two aces on
- 36:26Speaker 7: this roster with Anderson, and I said, this year, you
- 36:29Speaker 7: had none.
- 36:29Speaker 5: I mean, there wasn't that one.
- 36:31Speaker 7: Guy where you're like, gotta have it, must win game,
- 36:33Speaker 7: We're gonna give the ball to this guy and he's
- 36:35Speaker 7: gonna go get a six or seven innings.
- 36:36Speaker 5: You didn't have that guy.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:38Speaker 5: And again, like I just mentioned all the pitchers that
- 36:40Speaker 5: are able to come back as of right now, none of.
- 36:42Speaker 7: Those guys are that, no doubt frontline ace. You gotta
- 36:46Speaker 7: go find one.
- 36:47Speaker 6: No, But if you do, you can put Cason back
- 36:48Speaker 6: where he's supposed to be.
- 36:50Speaker 3: Yeah, as a stopper.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a big year for William Schmidt.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Next year too, it's been a big year for him.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:58Speaker 2: I think also you can put him where he's supposed
- 37:01Speaker 2: to be on Sundays.
- 37:01Speaker 4: Also, and he'd look, he took it. He took a stride. Yeah,
- 37:04Speaker 4: for sure. From what he was his freshman year, we
- 37:06Speaker 4: know how talented he is. So that's somebody you're gonna
- 37:08Speaker 4: count on him next year. He's gonna have to be
- 37:10Speaker 4: good for you. But you need to go get somebody
- 37:13Speaker 4: that as soon as you sign him, it's like Friday Saturday,
- 37:16Speaker 4: no doubt, like there's no questions about it. We've seen
- 37:20Speaker 4: him do it and might not be here, but it's
- 37:22Speaker 4: been somewhere.
- 37:22Speaker 6: You did with Luke Coleman too.
- 37:24Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta go get that and even Gauge Jump.
- 37:26Speaker 6: I was the gauge Jump in Luke Coleman.
- 37:28Speaker 2: They were transfers and they were your Friday and your
- 37:31Speaker 2: Saturday guys.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Yeah, so you've hit.
- 37:33Speaker 4: And I know it's hard to go back in the
- 37:34Speaker 4: memory bank when what's fresh on your mind is not
- 37:37Speaker 4: hitting in the portal.
- 37:38Speaker 3: But they've hit. This staff is hit. They understand it.
- 37:41Speaker 4: I promise you nobody's gonna work harder than Jay Johnson
- 37:45Speaker 4: in the off season. I wouldn't be surprised if that
- 37:47Speaker 4: man doesn't go home. He's gonna make his wife come
- 37:50Speaker 4: have dinner with him at the box, Like that's just
- 37:53Speaker 4: who he is is, how he's going to be. I've
- 37:55Speaker 4: talked to people around the program. He's already kind of
- 37:57Speaker 4: starting that process.
- 37:59Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm like, bro, I just texted my physical therapist.
- 38:03Speaker 3: But anyway, just go work out injuries.
- 38:05Speaker 6: I don't know, I pulled something into every movement. I
- 38:09Speaker 6: may hurts so bad.
- 38:10Speaker 2: But I was gonna say, you think we're disappointed in
- 38:13Speaker 2: this season, and like we hate this, bro, this is
- 38:17Speaker 2: eating Jay Johnson alive. I already know it is.
- 38:23Speaker 3: So I was because I know Jay pretty well.
- 38:26Speaker 4: I was gonna go say what that to him before
- 38:28Speaker 4: the pitch, and I was like, not these circumstances, my
- 38:32Speaker 4: man's locked in. He shout away and I gave him.
- 38:35Speaker 4: I gave him like one of these real quick, and
- 38:36Speaker 4: he gave one of these back. It's like, except, bro,
- 38:39Speaker 4: but he's gonna be It's gonna be a little revenge tour.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Yeah for sure. So all right, we'll step away. When
- 38:49Speaker 4: we come back, we'll kind of break down what the
- 38:51Speaker 4: SEC Baseball tournament looks like, like, what LSU is facing,
- 38:54Speaker 4: what they would have to do, kind of break down
- 38:56Speaker 4: the bracket. We do have little Helmer's joining us later,
- 38:59Speaker 4: so we'll pick up the base I'll talk there as well.
- 39:01Speaker 4: We've got weekend winners all coming your way when we
- 39:03Speaker 4: jump back here on OTB.

- 39:11Speaker 4: forgotten what customer service is supposed to look like. But
- 39:14Speaker 4: if First American bank and trust relationships still matter. When
- 39:18Speaker 4: you bank with First American, you're working with local people

- 41:19Speaker 4: Yeah, a few tears in the review, one or two
- 41:23Speaker 4: that were hard to forget.
- 41:25Speaker 6: Why you think we call the present the present?
- 41:28Speaker 3: All right? Welcome back in.
- 41:31Speaker 4: OTV. Get old with the ox cord Today. Songs you
- 41:38Speaker 4: hear on a boat. I knew some Skinny Kenny was coming.
- 41:42Speaker 5: You gotta have one.
- 41:43Speaker 4: I knew Skinny Kenny was coming. He's on the boat
- 41:47Speaker 4: playlist for a lot of people. Uh. SEC Baseball tournament
- 41:52Speaker 4: gonna be played starting here in a couple of days. Actually, tomorrow,
- 41:57Speaker 4: I thinks first game, got's already the night teamh my god.
- 42:01Speaker 4: So it's gonna be tomorrow is when everything gets started,
- 42:05Speaker 4: and it's going to start. You've got old mess who's
- 42:08Speaker 4: a ninth seed taking on number sixteen seed Missouri. It's
- 42:11Speaker 4: gonna be a nine to thirty am first pitch. You've
- 42:15Speaker 4: got twelve seed Vanderbilt, thirteen seeded Kentucky is Game two,
- 42:19Speaker 4: Game three, the tenn seed Tennessee taking on the fifteen
- 42:23Speaker 4: seed South Carolina, and that game is going to be
- 42:27Speaker 4: at four thirty. And then after that you've got LSU
- 42:31Speaker 4: taken on the number eleventh seed Oklahoma. LSU comes in
- 42:36Speaker 4: as the fourteen seed, so if you win that game,
- 42:39Speaker 4: you take on the sixth seed Auburn, and that's going
- 42:42Speaker 4: to be on Wednesday night if you win that game.
- 42:46Speaker 4: So LSU's got a team in Oklahoma that they did
- 42:50Speaker 4: play a series with earlier in the year, where if
- 42:55Speaker 4: you remember, they won the first game of the series.
- 42:57Speaker 4: At the time, Oklahoma was number seven and country and
- 43:00Speaker 4: we're like, okay, well here you go, because remember you
- 43:03Speaker 4: started out the season with Vanderbilt and you lost a
- 43:07Speaker 4: heartbreaker in game one.
- 43:08Speaker 3: You got walked off in that game.
- 43:10Speaker 4: Then you won Game three, and so you're like, okay, well,
- 43:12Speaker 4: LSU at the time was still a top fifteen team
- 43:15Speaker 4: in the country.
- 43:16Speaker 3: You win that game and you're thinking, oh.
- 43:18Speaker 4: This actually looks like it, you know, could kind of
- 43:21Speaker 4: be something, even though you struggled in some non conference situations.
- 43:25Speaker 4: And then you lose two close games to Oklahoma four
- 43:28Speaker 4: to two and four to three. Now, Oklahoma and where
- 43:34Speaker 4: they're at, they're gonna want to do everything you can,
- 43:36Speaker 4: I think to win game number one, and they're gonna
- 43:38Speaker 4: want to get to face Auburn in Game eight of
- 43:42Speaker 4: the SEC Tournament. But your path if you're LSU, right,
- 43:48Speaker 4: so you have Oklahoma, the Auburn Tigers are an interesting
- 43:53Speaker 4: one because you hadn't you know, you didn't face them
- 43:55Speaker 4: this year, which is abnormal.
- 43:57Speaker 3: But your path would be.
- 44:00Speaker 4: Auburn in Texas, A and M and then you you know,
- 44:04Speaker 4: then obviously we're talking about you're on the same side
- 44:07Speaker 4: as Texas, the other teams Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina.
- 44:14Speaker 4: It's gonna be hard, it's gonna be Now, there's some
- 44:18Speaker 4: teams in front of you that are really good baseball teams.
- 44:20Speaker 4: But that's what it looks like to begin uh Oklahoma
- 44:23Speaker 4: really because you know, obviously we know how the A
- 44:26Speaker 4: and M series went. You didn't uh, you didn't play Auburn,
- 44:29Speaker 4: as we mentioned, so you got to get the first one.
- 44:32Speaker 3: We all know that. I don't know how El she's
- 44:34Speaker 3: going to handle that.
- 44:36Speaker 4: Oftentimes, you know, LS, She's in a completely different position
- 44:41Speaker 4: when you're going to the SEC Tournament with what they
- 44:44Speaker 4: have to do. Now we've seen them, you go back
- 44:46Speaker 4: a couple of years like they had to go make
- 44:48Speaker 4: a run, and they certainly did, and how big mylam
- 44:51Speaker 4: was in that SEC Baseball tournament.
- 44:54Speaker 3: I don't know how they pitch it.
- 44:56Speaker 4: I don't know how they're going to try to go
- 44:58Speaker 4: out there and play game number one. It's gonna be
- 45:01Speaker 4: held together with duct tape and super glue.
- 45:06Speaker 3: It is what it is.
- 45:06Speaker 4: If you don't win the SEC Tournament, you're not gonna
- 45:09Speaker 4: be playing in the postseason.
- 45:11Speaker 3: So uphill battle, to say the least, starts with Oklahoma.
- 45:16Speaker 4: If you get past them, as we said, Auburn, if
- 45:18Speaker 4: you get past them, you're playing Texas A and M.
- 45:20Speaker 4: So we'll see how they format it, We'll see how
- 45:23Speaker 4: they play it again. That game is going to be
- 45:24Speaker 4: tomorrow night. We don't have an official start time because
- 45:28Speaker 4: that game before them, game number three between Tennessee and
- 45:30Speaker 4: South Carolina, that's at four thirty year after that, and
- 45:33Speaker 4: again we'll continue talking LSU baseball when Helmer's joined us
- 45:36Speaker 4: a little bit later in hour number two, hour two,
- 45:38Speaker 4: coming right back your way here on OTB.
