Speaker 1: What's name East Coast States, North Carolina, South Carolina, Coastal Carolina.
0:06
It's definitely not a state. But it's hard to say
0:08
that Chickleteers made anything but a statement on Tuesday, plus
0:11
big games from Mississippi and California round off the midwek
0:15
chatterer when we picked games from week and twelve on

0:39

Speaker 1: We're ready for the weekend, hope, you are. I guess
1:33
that makes us weekend warriors. Everybody's working for the weekend.
1:39
Pick your favorite one at home. Hi, it's college baseball now,
1:42
and we are here to talk with you about Weekend twelve.
1:46
Starting with me, your friend, your host, your boy Drew Wheeler,
1:50
director of amateur Scouting at Prospects. I'm glad to be
1:52
here with you and glad to be here with my friends.
1:55
Starting with the gentleman in the middle of your screen.
1:57
It is not Josh Catlett. That's normally his spot, but
2:00
you've got Quinn Martin. Quinn, welcome back. Two episodes in
2:04
a row. It's like you're becoming a featured player, maybe
2:08
our favorite guest star. Don't know what you want to
2:11
call it, but we're happy to have you.
2:12
Speaker 3: Happy to be back. Yeah, you hear as long as we.
2:15
Speaker 1: Can, absolutely, Quinn. We were talking earlier about one of
2:20
the most relaxing things I can think of, which is
2:22
just a good shower. I'm curious, what's a non negotiable
2:26
staple of a good shower for you.
2:29
Speaker 4: It has to be really hot, but not that hot
2:31
where it burns your skin off.
2:33
Speaker 3: Has to be hot enough to enjoy love it.
2:36
Speaker 1: Hey, that's good. That's a good one. And on the
2:38
right side of your screen it is the man who
2:42
helped coach from first base. I should say the Arcadian
2:46
Knights to a home field advantage. Mac Freedom, is that right?
2:51
Speaker 3: That's a nic Freedom.
2:52
Speaker 1: Mac Freedom Tournament and his coach, Jake Barjorie. Jake, you
2:57
said you looked like a unit. I thought you looked
2:59
buff and good at first base, brother, man, I appreciate it.
3:04
Speaker 3: It was it was about I mean, it was about
3:06
fifty degrees during that game that you sent me the
3:08
screenshot of you were watching. I had on about about
3:12
three three under armour layers, a hoodie and or like
3:15
BP top on top of it. So I mean I
3:16
was I guess buff is the I guess. I guess
3:19
I'll accept that to be the descriptive word for how
3:22
I looked there.
3:23
Speaker 1: I guess absolutely it was. We're glad to have you here, man,
3:27
really quick, Jake, what's a non negotiable for a good
3:29
shower for you?
3:30
Speaker 4: Man?
3:32
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. There's only there's only so
3:35
many things that go into it. I guess. I mean
3:37
the the water temperature, I guess is the biggest. The
3:42
biggest one. I agree with when I can't do a
3:44
cold shower. I've tried it before. Like I've heard there
3:47
like good in the morning, take a cold shower. Some
3:49
people do it. I'm just not. I can't do it.
3:51
I've tried it multiple times. Water has to be hot, I.
3:55
Speaker 1: Have to be in the most mood of all moods
3:58
for a cold shower. And it's it's rare, so I
4:01
get it. I'll tell you guys, this my favorite move.
4:05
My favorite move to do is a hot shower. And
4:08
then maybe like like a flashlight or like a candle
4:12
sitting on like the sink and cut the lights off
4:15
with the hot water. Now that's relaxing. That's nice enough water,
4:21
enough light so you don't like trip and fall and
4:23
break your neck. But like just dark quiet, it's very nice.
4:28
Speaker 3: Just like to set them set the mood a little
4:30
bit before you get in the shower.
4:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about self cares. It's all about self care, Jake.
4:34
I'm glad you're picking up what I'm throwing down there. Man,
4:37
speaking of picking up what we're throwing down, did you
4:40
guys catch in the intro which I nailed on the
4:43
first trot? Don't you known? You there. Uh did you
4:47
catch how we talked about the first game we're gonna
4:50
speak about Coastal Carolina North Carolina In a midweek A
4:53
lot of places, including us A Prospects Live had this
4:56
as a top ten matchup Coastal Carolina. Jake ended up up,
5:01
I mean, beating the breaks off of UNC. The tar
5:05
Heels got kind of steamrolled in a sense by Coastal.
5:09
I'm curious, man, what do you think the big story
5:11
was but this one?
5:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, Coastal obviously very very
5:18
good team, top you know, ten to fifteen team depending
5:20
on where you look, but like, I don't think anyone
5:23
would have expected them to go into North Carolina, uh
5:27
and and do what they did. I mean they won
5:29
the game, and like in every way that you look
5:32
at it, Like obviously they outscored them by ten runs,
5:35
they out hit them by nine hits. You know, they
5:38
didn't make any airrors. North Carolina had had a couple
5:41
of those, like just big performances for Coastal up and
5:45
down the board. Blake Barthol, you know, four for five,
5:48
Rex Watson three for five. They had extra base hits.
5:52
They were you know, they were they were getting on
5:54
base at any any way that they could get on base,
5:59
and like I think you guys talked about it, which
6:01
I wasn't here last episode. I think you guys talked
6:03
about the North Carolina they're kind of midweek like pitching
6:07
plan that they usually they usually use a lot of
6:09
a lot of guys like Jackson Rose. I mean, it
6:13
wasn't his best start, you know, had a couple of walks,
6:15
gave up a couple of hits, only allowed one run,
6:17
So I mean, I guess you would kind of take that.
6:19
I mean, he battled through some stuff there, but just
6:21
like almost every other guy that came in after that
6:24
gave up runs, like Malcolm mcduffee struck out eight, gave
6:28
up a couple in four innings, and then like they
6:30
had a couple guys there back to he didn't even
6:32
get an out. Like I don't know, it was. It
6:34
was a weird game. But like Coastal, you know, they
6:38
they they they did their thing. They took care of
6:41
business down there, and I mean perhaps with them, absolutely
6:45
they did.
6:45
Speaker 1: It was very much business being taken care of. Quinn.
6:49
Last night we had a team call. JB joined us
6:54
at the conclusion of this game, he said several naughty
6:57
words in describing how North Carolin played. I'm not going
7:01
to repeat it here on the Family Friendly Show, but
7:04
Quinn JB none too impressed with the way North Carolina played.
7:08
We'll get to them in a second, because Jake with
7:11
the awesome softball pitch to me to pitch to you here, Quinn,
7:15
Blake Barthol hit for the cycle in this game with
7:18
his four hits amassed every one of the ones you
7:21
can collect. That is not true. He did not have
7:24
a home run. Excuse me, but who singles a double
7:27
and triple for barthall in that game? All the more impressive.
7:30
I'm gonna say it's even more impressive. Specifically, we know
7:33
he can hit home runs. Incredible game for Barthol. But Quinn,
7:36
my question to you of this North Carolina team, who
7:39
stood out as maybe being a positive amidst the ten
7:42
room loss.
7:44
Speaker 4: I mean, there weren't many, but I think McDuffie going
7:48
four and a third striking out eight is definitely worth noting,
7:53
given that he's mostly coming in in the latter parts
7:56
of games looking to close him out, and then Coper
7:59
Nicolson home run.
8:01
Speaker 1: Outside of that not a ton Yeah, McDuffie. Any longtime
8:07
listeners of the show know that McDuffie is a Drew favorite.
8:10
I mean, just in this game, specifically, gwinn you called
8:12
it out eight strikeouts. That's forty two percent strikeouts of
8:15
the guys that he faced. He faced nineteen batters. And now, granted, yeah,
8:19
we can sit here and say, okay, one of those
8:22
free pass, one of those, excuse me, four of those
8:24
a hit, But then forty two percent of the guys
8:26
that he faced he punched out. That's impressive, and I
8:28
think it speaks to what McDuffie kind of is as
8:31
a pitcher. Up and down this list of UNC pitchers though,
8:37
I mean, Jake you kind of said it, Jackson Rose,
8:40
Pulger bow As, there's dudes here who we expect better
8:44
out of, and it just might have been just kind
8:46
of a clunker up and down the Targhells pitching staff man.
8:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was. It was. It was definitely weird,
8:56
not really typical of them. I mean, I mean Matthew
8:59
Mataas if this is true. I think this is true.
9:02
Three pitches, three hits, allowed, no outs, gave up three
9:07
three runs. Also, like, like, I don't know it was
9:10
just obviously not what you want from him. But like
9:13
you know, foder Boez not being able to get anybody
9:15
out Sea Graves he you know, two runs only one
9:20
one out there. I don't know, it was just it
9:23
was weird. I mean, I don't think that this is
9:25
gonna linger for North Carolina. I think they're obviously going
9:28
to be just fine. But when you talked about the
9:30
grand scheme of things with you know, with positioning and
9:34
like RPI and all that kind of stuff, like Coastal's
9:36
not going to have a ton of chances left to
9:39
boost that RPI, and then going into North Carolina and
9:42
getting this kind of win against a team that's ranked
9:44
ascidedly as they are is definitely gonna bode well for
9:47
them when you talk about resermes and everything at the
9:49
end of the year.
9:51
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Quinn, just off the top of your head here, man,
9:54
when you consider that Coastal and un C are likely
9:58
to be hosts, just pickybacking off of what Jake said there,
10:03
you don't think it this is a like some kind
10:06
of harbinger of doom for un C.
10:08
Speaker 6: Now, right, No, certainly not.
10:10
Speaker 4: I mean, they certainly it's clear they wanted to win
10:12
this game, given that they threw mcduffy for so long
10:15
in a career, in a season long outing, I'll add
10:19
the Tayus obviously has been a high leverage arm. Bo
10:21
asn't had the biggest year, but I mean, these are
10:24
three high leverage arms for UNC that they expect to produce.
10:28
Speaker 6: But no, it's certainly not going to carry over.
10:32
Speaker 4: But to add on, though, I don't want to play
10:34
Coastal Carolina right Coastal Carolina right now.
10:38
Speaker 1: I can't think of a team that would want to
10:40
in good faith because obviously last weekend we saw him return,
10:44
but now we know that they have the biggest weapon
10:47
across the team back in Cameron Fluki. So yes, as
10:52
time where is on, it's looking more and more dangerous
10:56
and Conway, if you get that draw, then it's not
10:59
going to be a when you may escape it, but
11:01
it's gonna be by the skin of your teeth and
11:03
it's probably gonna get ugly. That's just the way the
11:06
cookie crumbles, and it's all the better for us to
11:08
watch and observe and talk about. Let's move on though,
11:13
to Mississippi Pearl Mississippi as it were, because the Governor's
11:17
Cup has been decided. It is the Bulldogs of Mississippi
11:21
State taking a seven to three victory over the Ole
11:24
miss Rebels. This one had a little bit of interesting
11:29
action going at Trustmark Park. Quinn, I'm curious looking at
11:32
this one, what do you see as being the deciding
11:37
factor or maybe the story of the game, because I
11:39
look at it and see, Wow, Mississippi State kind of
11:42
put foot on throat and did not relinquish that lead.
11:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it all came down to just owen
11:49
Kelly start. He's been a reliable midweek starter for them,
11:52
coming off a really good start last week and really
11:55
just didn't have it today or this week. And it's
12:00
gonna happen, but obviously don't want it to happen in
12:03
a rivalry midweek game. But yeah, he just kind of
12:07
got hit up a couple of singles in the first
12:09
few innings, driving runs in double Just yeah, not a
12:14
good start. Obviously couldn't generate much swing and miss, given
12:17
he had no strikeouts across thirteen batters faced.
12:21
Speaker 1: No, you're absolutely right, man. You know you think about
12:24
Jake the Mississippi State lineup, and I know just from
12:29
paying close attention to them seeing them in person several
12:32
times this year that they have found a combination of
12:36
hitters that they very much like at the top of
12:38
the order. And I think that fifth guy being Jacob Parker.
12:43
They call him the pride of Purvis, the dynamic freshman.
12:47
He really came through for him early as a nice
12:49
single through the right side of the infield to score
12:53
Garrick Frye. That really got it going. But then Bryce's
12:56
chance right after him, a gentleman who I would dare say,
13:00
honestly probably more known nationally for his glove, but has
13:03
really come through clutch from Misissippi State.
13:05
Speaker 3: Uh.
13:06
Speaker 1: Kevin Mlusky just added on to it. Malu from behind
13:09
the plate just really kept it going. Man. Uh. I
13:14
think I think what I'm getting at to you, Jake
13:16
is this may be the most scary Mississippi State team
13:20
that we've seen. And this is just compounding on the fact, dude,
13:23
that earlier in this year this was like a top
13:25
five team. I think they're scarier now that they've been
13:27
punched in the mouth and they're showing they're still alive.
13:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree. And and with your point about
13:34
I don't I mean, I don't want to talk, you know,
13:35
too much about the lineup. We're going to get into
13:37
Mississippi State pretty pretty early on I think here. But uh,
13:40
like I agree, I think that I think they they've
13:43
kind of they had to go through some things to
13:45
kind of figure out what they have to do to
13:47
make things work and not you know, after looking at
13:49
this game, you know, it really looks like they've they've
13:52
figured it out and just just on the game. Like
13:55
in general, I think this was kind of like so
13:58
ole miss comes into the one. They had you know,
14:01
kind of an exhausting weekend against Georgia or they obviously
14:04
uh you know, they they they won the first game
14:07
against Georgia and then lose the next two and then
14:10
they have the reward after that series of having to
14:13
play against Mississippi State, which who you know, again we're
14:17
gonna talk about it, but they obviously sweep LSU last weekend,
14:20
So like two teams kind of headed in opposite directions.
14:22
Like I don't I think it just kind of just
14:26
kind of a result of the last weekend where both
14:29
like one team's hot, one team's cold. Uh. But yeah,
14:31
I'm right there with you on on Mississippi State. And
14:35
then like like Quinn talked about the ole Miss arms,
14:37
like Owen Kelly did not have his stuff. But they also,
14:41
you know, we're obviously pitching to win this game, you know,
14:43
like Will Libert, I think he's you know, he's throwing
14:45
a lot of innings for him. Landing Koenig's one of
14:47
one of their guys like that. They were throwing some
14:50
of their top arms as well in this one, trying
14:53
to trying to stay in the game. But uh, obviously
14:55
Mississippi State came out on top in a very impressive fashion.
14:59
Speaker 1: They I like what you said there, Jac and kind
15:03
of to piggyback over to you, Quinn, just to wrap
15:05
up here, Libert really was incredibly efficient. I think we
15:08
should give him credit here because you see the final score.
15:12
You know, seven to three. Ole Miss fans are probably
15:14
gonna kind of swallow that one with a good bit
15:16
of vinegar and you know, sadness. Libert pitched three innings,
15:21
gave up three hits, only a single ear and run,
15:23
but fifty pitches. Just comparatively, speaking to Owen Kelly, who
15:27
needed fifty four pitches to struggle through one and two
15:31
third innings gave up by Verner, I just I think
15:34
there's silver linings if you look here for ole Miss,
15:38
who I certainly don't think the season is just done
15:41
for ole Miss, especially not after a midweek loss. It's
15:44
gonna sting though for it being their heavy, heavy rival
15:47
in state rival and the Governor's Cup. That's gotta suck
15:51
for ReBs.
15:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't feel good, but I mean, if you
15:55
weren't convinced about Will Libert, I think you can be now.
15:58
Obviously worked through three, I'm sure tough innings in one
16:03
of the bigger games of the year coming off that
16:06
exhausting series, like Jake mentioned, and then Dom Decker was
16:10
good as well. He's been swinging it over the last
16:12
few weeks's been hot. Yeah, added two hits, another stolen base.
16:17
They Almoss has certainly found their leadoff guy. I think
16:20
they've been playing around with a few guys, but Decker
16:23
seems like the one who's gonna who's gonna sit there
16:25
for a while.
16:26
Speaker 1: So I think so, And I like I like that
16:29
top five because they have guys who kind of balanced
16:32
one another's strengths and weaknesses out there. But yeah, Dom
16:35
Decker being kind of that veteran presence at the top
16:38
of the order. I do agree with you, man, He's
16:40
been really really strong lately and does just seem to
16:44
get on base. He's one of those kind of pests
16:46
at the top of the lineup that is just incredible.
16:49
And man, I don't know that I've said it in
16:50
a while, but playing Murray State there in a regional,
16:54
you know, last year, I think that Decker decided he
16:57
quite likes playing in the state of Mississippi, and so
17:00
it's it's suiting him. Well, one last note on this
17:03
game before we move forward. On the Twitter machine, I
17:06
don't know if you guys saw this, but I did
17:08
call that Brendan Sweeney on Sunday afternoon, on the way
17:11
back from start Well, I called Brendan Sweeney as the
17:13
starter for the Governor's Cup final. H And despite the
17:18
fact that some guy whose username I don't recall was
17:21
saying that Brendan Sweeney sucked and I shouldn't be excited,
17:24
I'll take this as an opportunity to pat myself on
17:27
the back and say three innings, no ernies, four punch outs.
17:33
I like it. I like it, kids, humongous. Let him juve.
17:38
All right, let's move forward though a couple more upsets,
17:40
guys shifting from the East coast to Mississippi. Let's go
17:44
to California. Uh, the propaganda machine rolls on for me. Jake,
17:50
USC loses again IRV. I'm up, USC down? Did I
17:54
write this script or what?
17:58
Speaker 3: Yeah? This is a this was a this was this
18:00
was a weird game. I mean, so USC out hits Irvine,
18:05
who only had three hits on the game but had
18:08
four runs and USC obviously only scored one. I don't know,
18:13
like we've kind of talked about USC in this way
18:17
like since since honestly since the beginning of the year,
18:20
Like we've worried about what their offense can do if
18:22
their pitching doesn't carry them, uh to the finish line,
18:25
and like, you know, kind of kind of repetitively at
18:28
this point, we've seen their offense like kind of kind
18:31
of not come through. And this is an Irvine team
18:33
who is you know, they're they're obviously not a bad team,
18:37
but like the offense just has not been there for
18:39
them all year. Like we we had them, I mean
18:43
I had them. I felt really good about this Irvine
18:46
team in the preseason, but like you know, they're sitting
18:47
here now with the losing record. I just mentioned, like
18:50
they're not they're not hitting the ball like outside of
18:53
like some of their top arms, like their arms haven't
18:56
been just like phenomenal this year. Like I don't know this,
18:58
this was a weird game. And then like you know,
19:00
when I look at the result and like this is
19:04
this is just the only thing that's on my mind
19:05
right now, me and Josh I've been doing these bracketologies
19:08
for you know, a couple of weeks now, so I
19:09
can't help but like relate everything to it that USC
19:14
I think they're going into this. Going into this game,
19:16
there were a top ten RPI team and like I
19:19
don't know exactly what Arvine's number was, but it was
19:22
much lower than that. And then you know, them taking
19:24
this loss there does not does not help the resume
19:27
of USC, which I think they had zero quad one
19:31
wins coming into this one, and obviously it doesn't affect
19:33
that number, but like the resume is not shaping up.
19:37
The resume is not shaping up to be what we
19:39
would think of being a top ten RPI team.
19:43
Speaker 1: I would agree with that sentiment. Quinn, I have a
19:46
multitude of questions for you. First of all, I don't
19:49
know how with my propensity for giving you nicknames, I've
19:53
not yet come to the fact that you right about
19:55
the Big Ten. You're obviously Big Quinn. Oh big Quinn
20:01
with the Big ten? So USC fraudulent?
20:04
Speaker 3: Yes or no?
20:05
Speaker 1: I agree? I think I don't know how they can
20:08
you talk about USC? What's your thoughts on this? Because
20:10
you've seen a ton of them? Pushback on me, because
20:14
I feel like for the last month I've been saying
20:16
this team is false, this is a fraudulent team. They
20:18
have two pitchers and a handful of nothing excuse me,
20:22
three pictures. I take that back. Weekend rotation is incredibly solid.
20:26
Speaker 4: Weekend rotation is really good. I'm not going to disagree
20:31
with you, though there's not a ton otherwise. I mean,
20:35
Augy Lopez has been one of their better hitters of late,
20:38
and it's been on a pretty nice power run.
20:40
Speaker 6: Sure obviously didn't get to it today, but I mean
20:43
I keep seeing today this week.
20:46
Speaker 4: But bottom of their lineup has done next to nothing
20:50
over the last who knows how long, just a long time.
20:54
They're getting everything from their top five, Like Kadana has
20:58
been decent, Lope Atering Lope has been decent, Augie. Obviously,
21:03
I mentioned Taki, she had a pretty good week weekend,
21:07
and then Bessir is one of their leaders in extra base.
21:10
Speaker 6: It's outside of that, it's not much, and I don't
21:14
love the bullpen. I'm I'm kind of out.
21:18
Speaker 1: I understand. I mean, it's it's so crazy because it's
21:22
it's almost Jake was Oregon State earlier in the year.
21:26
We were talking about, uh, if you could, if you
21:29
could put that pitching staff with a mid it was
21:32
Oregon State, right, Okay, yeah, Quinn what we talked about.
21:35
You may have heard the episode if you could put
21:38
a Jake, will you pull up your mid majors drinking?
21:43
Speaker 2: Uh?
21:43
Speaker 4: Yeah?
21:44
Speaker 3: One second?
21:44
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Quinn, the the goal the game here that
21:47
I'm going to play with you is at what point
21:49
are you comfortable to say, Okay, if you gave USC's
21:52
pitching staff, this team's offense, this is a top this
21:56
is a top team. This is a much better consistent team.
21:59
That's a It's it's very fun. We played it with
22:02
Oregon State earlier in the year, and it did not
22:04
take long for us to be like, yeah, yeah, like
22:07
twenty one, I think, so, Jake, give me number twenty
22:11
on the mid major ranking.
22:13
Speaker 3: Number twenty happens to be uh South Florida. This week,
22:17
they took a tough loss, but they are a good
22:20
mid major team.
22:21
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I mean, I think you give
22:23
USA Pitchers South Florida's offense, this could be I mean,
22:27
that's certainly more troublesome terrible.
22:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
22:30
Speaker 1: What about what about fifteen?
22:32
Speaker 3: Jake fifteen is Gonzaga, who has been on an absolute
22:36
tear here recently.
22:38
Speaker 1: I think that's the game game West West Coast hyper team.
22:42
I love it all right.
22:44
Speaker 3: Twelve Jake twelve is col Baptist. They've kind of hung
22:49
around this range just because they haven't lost.
22:53
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not mad at that, but I think go
22:56
Zaga is my favorite so far. What about an eight?
22:59
Speaker 3: Eight? Eight is Missouri State, So I think we know
23:02
the answer to that one.
23:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, give me Mason Evers and King Bogan Pults do it.
23:07
Speaker 1: That's anyway, Quinn. The point is is I just I
23:11
wonder what this team can do. Because this is coming
23:14
from a guy who earlier this year I said, you know, hey,
23:15
Adrian Lopez has been playing well. I like Tevin Kait
23:18
Takyuchi as well. I think I think there's talent here.
23:21
I just need to see it more consistently. It worries
23:25
me for USC, but let's not droll on about that.
23:28
A tough loss for the Trojans and Eaters though all day. Anyway,
23:34
last game we're going to talk about before we move on,
23:38
Tulane picking up a seven to six victory over Southern Miss. Quinn,
23:44
I want to start with you here because you're in
23:46
Josh's chair and this is normally where I would go
23:49
to Josh.
23:50
Speaker 2: Uh.
23:50
Speaker 1: The Southern Miss stock I think is not necessarily crumbled
23:54
into dust, but I think we have a right at
23:57
this point to say what what's exactly happening in Hattiesburg
24:01
and what what is this team specifically? Uh Quite, I'm curious,
24:06
what were your thoughts on this game with Tulane and
24:08
what do you see the outlook being for Southern Miss
24:10
long term?
24:12
Speaker 4: I think Southern Miss probably goes as far as their
24:16
vets take them. The first time I talked about Southern
24:19
Myss on podcast, I called mold and their vets had
24:24
to carry them and Midweek's and midweek I'm not going
24:30
to overstate it, but I don't think they've been as
24:33
dominant as you expect a team at a mid major
24:36
conference to be, especially one ranked twelve on D one Baseball,
24:40
So I don't I don't want to overreact to a
24:45
midweek game. But Chulan's three.
24:48
Speaker 6: So it's it's worth mentioning.
24:50
Speaker 1: It's it's certainly worth mentioning. Jake. I want to go
24:53
to you here because something interesting about this game that
24:56
I've picked up on checking it out earlier today. A
24:59
lot of how this was a lot of damage done
25:02
by the long ball, I mean from either team. I mean,
25:04
you talk about kind of the guys that I think
25:06
of as being staples of Southern Miss, you know, Joey Urban,
25:09
Kyle Morrison homers for them, homer for Matthew Russo. But
25:13
then on the other side of this equation you've got
25:17
Mattias Hods and Trent Leolios, both with long balls as well.
25:22
A lot of damage done via the home run, which
25:26
honestly not exactly the kind of style of ball I
25:29
associate with Southern Miss. Do you think that this is
25:32
an identity issue, Jakers, It kind of just look, we're
25:34
trying to win it all. Oh, We're trying to win
25:35
by any means. I don't really care how we do
25:37
we started to win.
25:39
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know that I would say, like
25:41
a sudden surge of Homer's being an identity problem. I
25:45
think they would, you know, like to add that on
25:47
to what they have going on already. But like, I
25:51
don't know, it is weird. This was This was another
25:54
kind of strange, strange loss for for Southern Miss. Like
25:58
they just kind of went back and forth and then
26:01
just you know, obviously the pitching kind of gave it
26:04
up there at the end. I don't, I don't know
26:07
I would I was expecting them to kind of easily
26:10
win this game. Like Tulane not a bad team by
26:12
any means, but like this is a game that you
26:14
would expect Southern Miss to win for sure, like Quinn said,
26:18
if you're going to regard them as a top you
26:19
know whatever, top fifteen team whatever you said, their ranking
26:22
was over there. But uh, like I don't know, I think,
26:26
I mean, we had we had Southern Miss as a
26:28
host for the for the first time. I think this
26:31
this past bracketology, and you know, this loss doesn't doesn't
26:34
look good for us adding them into our host group.
26:36
But uh, you know, we'll obviously see uh We'll obviously
26:40
see what happens this weekend. They have a ULM who's
26:43
got some sneaky, pretty good wins. But uh, I mean,
26:47
if as long as they take care of business this weekend,
26:49
I'm not too worried about Southern Miss. But this is definitely, definitely,
26:52
definitely a weird loss for sure.
26:55
Speaker 1: Weird weird is probably the operative and best descriptor. Therefore, sure,
27:00
all right, great stuff, guys, I think we should go
27:03
ahead and move into pick them because we have a
27:06
lot to talk about. What I'll say to start, is
27:10
this a lot of good storylines rolling in to pick
27:12
them this week? Last weekend, Jake, you kind of killed
27:17
it dog the grim Reaper meme returned to the group chat.
27:22
You're knocking on the doors, Jake, you went six and
27:25
two last weekend to lead the pack. Josh was right
27:27
behind you at five and three. Drew finished right in
27:31
the middle four and four, JB at three and five.
27:34
So our overall standings right now, we've got a pair
27:37
of ties. Jake, Josh and I tied at the top
27:40
forty eight and thirty nine. You and JB are tied
27:44
forty four and forty three, just like we. Drew it up, man,
27:48
it's coming down to the wire. We The script we
27:51
wrote at the beginning of the year is really paying
27:53
off for us. This has been super dramatic.
27:56
Speaker 3: I'm glad to see it too. I'm glad that I
27:58
didn't fall too far, too far behind in the standings.
28:02
I was kind of trened in that way last couple
28:03
of weeks. But the one Pick Them that I wasn't
28:06
on the episode for Maybe I just use my own
28:08
thoughts instead of listening to what everybody else has to say. First.
28:12
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
28:13
Speaker 3: Good help, That's probably what it is.
28:15
Speaker 1: Guess you know. The crazy thing is is that I
28:18
feel like I have in mind. We're getting off topic here.
28:22
The other major storyline for Pick Them this week, Jake,
28:24
is going to be that we are going to see
28:26
the Pickham debut of mister Quinn Martin. He is also
28:29
going to be joining the pool of guests. For those
28:33
of you at home who've forgotten, as I like to
28:35
say every week, the guests have really been struggling this
28:38
year six and ten overall on the guest squad, Quinn,
28:42
it is your responsibility not only to beef that score up,
28:46
but to try to best them I don't remember what
28:48
their individual scores were, but I know Dodge was one
28:52
of them who did the picks. I can't I can't
28:56
remember who else is picked South Gero.
28:58
Speaker 3: I think yeah, Souther Guero.
29:00
Speaker 1: So Quinn, it is your job to boost them up
29:04
as a group and to take them down as an individual.
29:07
We're looking forward to your picks, of course. Furthermore, the
29:11
last storyline, you all at home may be wondering, but
29:14
where's Josh, But where's JB. Not to worry. Jake has
29:18
Josh's picks. I have JB's picks. They are not going
29:21
to go without selecting. I don't know how much Josh
29:24
gave you in the realm of analysis, but JB was
29:29
very terse. So I will JB will give you like
29:32
a quick snippet of something.
29:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got, I got a little bit. It's like
29:37
one or two sentences we got. We got a little
29:39
bit from them.
29:39
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so well on the on the Josh versus
29:43
JB scoreboard, Josh gets the point for that one. Anyway,
29:47
let's get to the first series, guys, Mississippi State taking
29:51
on Texas. I think early in the year, guys, this
29:54
is one we would have circled and highlighted as being like,
29:56
all right, this is going to be slugfest for the
29:59
SEC and honestly, at this point, like I said earlier,
30:04
still a top ten matchup. Both of these teams have
30:07
been punched in the face recently. Who can it be
30:10
to take almost at a can't lose series for both
30:15
Quinna want to start with you thinking about Mississippi State
30:18
and Texas. Which player, which group, which which factor is
30:23
the biggest for this series in your mind?
30:26
Speaker 6: I'm gonna On the Texas side, I'm gonna go with
30:29
Ruger Riojas.
30:31
Speaker 4: It's been an odd couple of weeks for him just
30:34
given his track record, and I think this series could
30:39
come down to whether or not he gets back to form.
30:44
Speaker 1: That'd be interesting to interesting to see.
30:46
Speaker 3: I think.
30:48
Speaker 1: Texas fans specifically would love it if he could, and
30:51
that being Riojas. It's not like they've been without pitching leaders,
30:56
but to have him in addition to those makes all.
30:59
Speaker 3: The difference, right absolutely.
31:01
Speaker 4: I mean, Dylan Plants has been incredible, but I've got
31:06
to have three good starting pitchers to win a series.
31:08
Speaker 1: So without a doubt, uh Jake on the flip side
31:10
of that coin, man, let's talk about Mississippi State. What
31:13
when you look at Mississippi State's team, what's gonna have
31:16
to happen from a player, from a group of players,
31:19
what are they gonna have to do in order to
31:21
slay this long war and beast here?
31:25
Speaker 3: I think, you know, in short, I think they're just
31:28
gonna have to to have to pitch a little bit
31:30
better than they did last weekend. Like they they they
31:32
swept LSU, which is awesome, but like it was the
31:35
offense that got on that sweep and like the starting
31:37
pitching especially didn't really help the lineup out too much.
31:43
So I mean, that's gonna have to be much much
31:45
better against a team like Texas. Not no knock to
31:47
LSU there, but like the way Texas is playing, the
31:49
way they hit, like the pitching is, the starting pitching
31:52
is just gonna have to be a little bit better.
31:54
But to talk about talk about the offense a little bit.
31:57
You know, we love to talk about the the the
32:00
Ace Reeses, the Noah Sullivan's, the Aiden Teals, But like
32:04
Drew you mentioned it earlier, like Jacob Parker is like
32:08
slowly and quietly becoming like one of the best hitters
32:11
on this team, like he's got ops over a thousand,
32:15
he's got you know, he's got eight jacks at this point,
32:17
thirty four RBIs, which is like top you know, five
32:20
or six or so on this team. Like he's he's
32:23
he's walking, he's he's he's cutting, he's not striking out
32:26
too much to be a freshman. Like he's doing everything
32:28
that you would hope that a guy in the middle
32:30
of your order is going to be able to do. So.
32:33
Shout out to to Jacob Parker. I hope he stays
32:36
hot at Texas. And then back to the pitching just
32:39
a little bit. I saw we could see some Ryan
32:41
McPherson action this weekend. I think I read that somewhere.
32:44
I don't know how much stock to take in it,
32:45
but uh I don't. I wouldn't expect him to necessarily
32:48
start again yet, but it would be cool to see him,
32:51
to see him back in action this weekend.
32:54
Speaker 1: I want to piggyback off something you said really quickly
32:56
about the Mississippi State pitchers. Shout out to my boy
33:00
Luke Maddox. He actually gave me a really interesting statistic
33:03
that I did not pick up on until Sunday en
33:06
route to start bull The Bulldogs gave up a three
33:11
spot in the opening inning of each of the three
33:13
games against LSU. That is not great. And you give
33:17
Texas that kind of lead. No, granted, this is a
33:20
lead you gave to LSU. Texas has been lethal. LSU
33:24
has been dangerous. Texas has been a lethal You give
33:28
him that kind of lead early. I don't know that
33:29
that's gonna You're gonna have an opportunity to take it back,
33:32
but remains to be seen, certainly McPherson coming back in
33:34
any aspect. I'm with you, Jake. I think it would
33:37
help a ton, but all we can do left is
33:40
pick him. I'm going to ask you, Jake, if you
33:43
would give Josh's selection and his logic for this one.
33:46
Speaker 3: First, I will Josh says he is gonna be picking Texas.
33:52
Two elite pitching staffs going at it. I'll take the
33:55
cop out answer and go with the home team. So
33:58
he's gonna go with Texas. I'm also if you don't,
34:01
I guess I can just go next. And so I'm
34:03
kind of going into it there. I'm gonna I'm gonna
34:06
go Texas as well. Mississippi State. You know they're one
34:09
of the teams right now competing for a host spots.
34:12
I think me, me and Josh had them hosting in
34:14
our last packetology the one before it, we did not
34:17
have it, And I don't think a loss at Texas
34:19
would necessarily hurt them too much. But they're gonna need
34:21
to finish the season strong to guarantee that whole spot.
34:25
But uh, I'm gonna go. I am gonna pick Texas.
34:28
I think the I think the pitching gets it done.
34:31
They get to come back home. I like them.
34:32
Speaker 1: There, let's see, I'll pick four for JB. JB is
34:39
also going to go Texas, so that's gonna stack three
34:41
on the board for the longboards. Early JB's rationale, I
34:44
think they're too hot, that's what he said. So there
34:47
you go, short and sweet like I said. Uh uh.
34:51
And then Quinn, I will let you pick last. I
34:53
think I'm gonna try to play this game a little
34:56
bit and I'll be risky and I'll take Mississippi State. Uh.
34:59
The The reason I'll do that is because I think
35:01
they really need it now. Granted, this is incredibly dangerous,
35:05
probably the toughest series that they will have faced this season,
35:10
but they need it very badly. Like you said, Jake,
35:12
the bats have been hot. If the pitching can bring
35:15
it together and even just match what Texas has been doing,
35:18
I think that'll give them a shot. And I admittedly
35:21
I know this is gonna be a risky pick, but
35:24
I think I need to make those because we're tied
35:26
at the top. Quinn, round us off here, who are
35:28
you picking?
35:29
Speaker 6: And why I'm glad I wasn't gonna be the only one.
35:32
I'm also gonna go to Mississippi.
35:33
Speaker 4: State, gonna play the game a little bit, boy, and
35:36
I just I trust Mississippi State.
35:38
Speaker 3: A little bit.
35:38
Speaker 4: I mean, Texas has been undeniable. I've been on here
35:43
saying Texas maybe the second best team in the country.
35:46
But I want to go back to what you said,
35:49
Drew a little earlier. They got kicked in the teeth,
35:51
and I think they're showing a little bit of fire
35:54
right now. This is a series they need to put
35:56
to push them back into hosting or maybe staying hosting contention.
36:02
So I think I think the pitching staff makes an
36:05
improvement and Mississippi State takes it to to one probably.
36:11
Speaker 1: Okay, love it, Hey, I love it. We don't normally
36:13
ask these folks Jake to pick the final score. But
36:16
I love that Quinn did it. He's going for credit,
36:18
h Quinn. I do want to stick with you. Before
36:20
we came on the air, you were telling me that
36:23
we share a very similar bit of propaganda pushing, which
36:26
I suspect is going to come into play as we
36:28
talk about the Big Twelve series of the week with
36:32
Arizona State taking on UCF in Florida. Quinn, what do
36:36
you think is going to be the deciding factor in
36:38
this series?
36:40
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna come down to Arizona States pitching.
36:43
I don't I if Arizona State's on, I don't think
36:46
UCF is gonna score many more than five six runs
36:50
in a game.
36:52
Speaker 6: Alone.
36:52
Speaker 4: Has been incredible. Klecker has been really good. I don't
36:56
I don't see the UCF offense taken much from air.
37:00
Speaker 3: In a state.
37:00
Speaker 1: If they're on, I love it. I love it. Jake,
37:04
want to go to you really quickly. We've talked a
37:06
lot about u c F being kind of one of
37:09
those upper tier Big Twelve teams. I think at this
37:12
point tiers is kind of the only thing we could
37:14
say about the Big Twelve.
37:16
Speaker 2: Uh.
37:16
Speaker 1: I think I know in my brain who the top
37:19
team in the Big twelve is, uh, but then there's
37:22
a tier underneath it just kind of right nipping at
37:24
the heels. You see, F and Airs on a State
37:26
are both in that tier though, Jake.
37:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. And like you know, for for for UCF,
37:33
like you know, Matteo, Gray, Matt Souser and Camden Wicker,
37:36
they have they have the talent, they just haven't you know,
37:39
since Soeuser's come back, He's been a little bit a
37:41
little bit down. Gray's been solid, Camden Wicker was awesome
37:44
last weekend. But like on that that that's that's kind
37:48
of that, that's kind of what they have to they
37:51
have to go off of most of the time. Like
37:53
they have really strong three bats and you know Williamson,
37:56
John Smith and Zach Skinner, but the bottom half of
37:59
the lineup is gonna have to get going this weekend
38:01
if they're gonna keep up with this with this Arizona
38:03
State offense that is like really really good top to bottom.
38:07
You know, it's it's Harston Contrade's toilgo small Dino and
38:11
like you know, the entire lineup, you know, I would
38:14
I would put them up against a lot of teams
38:16
out there in the country right now. And then you
38:19
know the two the two coals going on the weekend,
38:21
Carlo and and Click are really good bookend due on
38:24
Friday and Sunday. So I mean it's gonna be it's
38:27
gonna be fun. I mean, I, like I said, I
38:28
think UCF needs to hit, but the pitching I think
38:31
is gonna be fun to watch on both sides.
38:34
Speaker 1: Word, it's almost like you heard us talking because Jake
38:38
I said, like the exact same thing. I'd put this
38:40
offense up against everything but maybe the top five offenses
38:44
in the country. So I'm right there with you. Quinn.
38:46
Why don't you lead us off with your selection here?
38:48
Sir A s U U CF, Who are you taking?
38:52
Speaker 4: I alluded to I alluded to it a little bit
38:54
in my breakdown, But I'm gonna go Arizona State.
38:56
Speaker 6: Uh, don't think that. Don't think the ucfs are gonna
38:59
get up.
39:02
Speaker 1: I will go ahead with JB. JB had a very
39:05
simple analysis here. Quork's up. He's going Sun Devil. So
39:08
that's two on the board for ASU. I'll piggyback on
39:11
that and continue the snowballing. It's a su I've said
39:15
it before. I'm so high on this team. I've had
39:17
them in my top ten at times, and I think
39:19
that I have become a little more rational with this
39:22
team as we've gone on. But you know what, this
39:25
ain't a time for ration. This is a time for action.
39:28
Asu all the way. Horns up, Jake, Let's hear from Josh,
39:32
and then let's hear from you, buddy.
39:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh just going Arizona State too. His notes are
39:39
they fare better than most on the road, and the
39:41
offense is heating up big time lately. I think this
39:44
weekend we'll submit them as a clear number two in
39:47
the Big twelve. Shout out to Drew's propaganda machine, and
39:52
you know, just to go ahead and complete it. I'm
39:54
going Arizona State too. I'll be boring, but you know,
39:58
I just think. I just think the lineup is and
40:00
they seem to found what works on the mound as well.
40:03
I've talked about those two guys pitching and then with
40:06
I think it was Taylor Penn and then Colin Linder
40:08
out kind of the duo in that second game, that
40:11
there's a few teams out there that's kind of going
40:13
to that they take a starter out and they put
40:15
them in that like long relief role and it just works.
40:17
And I think that you know that that's good a
40:19
good spot for Lender. But you know, they're they're both
40:22
both of these two teams. They're they're tied with each
40:24
other in second place in the Big Twelve. So big
40:26
implications this weekend, But I am going to go with
40:29
Arizona State.
40:30
Speaker 1: It is going to be a pivotal series for the
40:33
Big Twelve for sure. Let's move on though from the
40:36
Big Twelve. Talk about another huge showdown in the SEC. Uh.
40:41
We could have circled this one again from the jump.
40:43
Auburn and Texas A and M College Station is going
40:47
to be rocking this weekend. Guys. I hate that Josh
40:50
isn't here to talk about this pivotal matchup for his Tigers.
40:53
But Jake, I think you will do a fine job
40:55
standing in for Josh and telling us what you think
40:58
the major X factor for this series is gonna be.
41:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll I'll stand in for Josh and talk about
41:06
Auburn a little bit like for but this series, you know,
41:08
the series is gonna be a dogfight. Man. This is
41:10
this is a really good, really good two teams. This
41:13
is number four versus number seven in our most recent
41:15
rankings like A and M second and the SEC standings,
41:18
Auburn is only a couple of games behind them, just
41:21
a just a big one in the conference. And you
41:22
know you're gonna get good pitching from Auburn Andress Alpharez,
41:28
Jake Marciono, Alex Petrovic is going to sling the pill.
41:33
Jackson Sanders in long relief, another guy who's had starting experience,
41:36
kind of that long relief role wherever they need him.
41:38
He's doing a really good job with that. And the
41:40
guys in the pen are gonna be relentless, uh and
41:43
that with the they're gonna have to be against that
41:45
A and M offense, it's gonna be pushing them just
41:47
as hard as they're as they're pitching it.
41:51
Speaker 1: I think so, Quinn, this is some squads man Auburn's offense.
41:58
We talked about it all season long. How we think
42:01
that if their offense could catch up to the pitching,
42:04
this could be a threat of a team. Now lately,
42:08
as Josh has been saying, the offense is lifted each other.
42:11
We're seeing guys step up in from a game to
42:13
game situation. We're seeing different guys step up and lead
42:16
the team. I think this offense is here as it's
42:19
gonna get. But Texas A and M has had a
42:21
squad of just goons at the plate all year long.
42:26
Who's it gonna be? Man? What? What do you think
42:28
The outlook for this one is?
42:30
Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough. I think this is gonna be
42:34
a grinder of a series, especially with an M being
42:36
at home. It's gonna be It's gonna be tough.
42:39
Speaker 1: The A and M crowd is gonna be loud.
42:42
Speaker 4: The Auburn pitching is gonna really have to lock down.
42:44
The A and M lineup has been on just the
42:48
weight hot heater right now. Car Hovac's raking, Jorian Wilson's
42:52
getting talked about all the time, Jacopian's back, Currel's the star.
42:59
You gotta you gotta slow them down, You gotta slow
43:01
the crowd down. And I think the Auburn pitching staff
43:05
is maybe the right staff to do that, given their
43:11
kind of more like pitchability.
43:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, not just gonna blow stuff by, you just kind
43:15
of gonna slow the game down a little bit.
43:17
Speaker 1: I like that point a lot. It's gonna be interesting.
43:19
To see what they can do to switch it out
43:22
against an M, and I think that could be a
43:24
deciding fact. Quite an interesting point, Jake, let's get let's
43:27
get the boring answer out of the way first, go
43:29
ahead and hit us with Josh's pick and with his logic. Yeah.
43:34
Speaker 3: To everyone's surprise, Josh is going with Auburn. He says,
43:38
unstoppable object meets immovable force. Give me the immovable force
43:42
of the Auburn pitching staff or eagle from Josh.
43:47
Speaker 1: I love it, and he threw in the war eagle. Jake,
43:49
what are you thinking here, buddy.
43:52
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with A and M. I think this
43:55
offense is just is just so good. And they just
43:58
come off a weekend where they just beat those real
44:00
strong arms at Florida. I think they I think they
44:02
outslug Auburn. Getting and getting to play this at college
44:05
station also helps. I think they. I think they hit
44:08
their way to a series win this weekend.
44:10
Speaker 1: I think. So I'll go with JB. JB said, like
44:15
I said earlier in the season, we right, He's going
44:17
A and M as well. So uh. The eternal rivalry
44:21
between Josh and JB roars on Quinn curious what you're
44:25
thinking for this one. Man, I'm gonna go with Auburn.
44:28
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna well won.
44:31
Speaker 4: My fiance might be a little unhappy with me if
44:33
i'll yeah, but I think I'm gonna stick with my
44:38
prediction of the Auburn pitching staff slowing down, slowing down
44:42
the game a little bit using their change ups.
44:45
Speaker 1: I like that, that's good logic. But I didn't make
44:49
it this far to become kind of a backwater A
44:53
and M fan for nothing. Queue up the bubble machines.
44:56
I'm taking A and M to break to break the
45:00
there on the graphic. It's gonna be interesting, though, Man,
45:03
what a what a series? SEC is not for bad
45:06
serieses this weekend? Tell us it's gonna be loaded stuff, Jake,
45:11
want to stick with you here because we're gonna get
45:13
some of your mid major darlings punching each other in
45:17
the mouth. Jacksonville State, Missouri State. What's the X factor
45:21
for this one?
45:21
Speaker 3: Pal?
45:23
Speaker 1: Yeah?
45:24
Speaker 3: These are you know, a couple of teams. I mean,
45:26
I don't. I don't necessarily want to say like heading
45:28
in opposite directions, but just had very very different weekends,
45:32
you know, And like I said, in an opposite direction.
45:33
Sounds a little bit harsh, but you know, Jack State,
45:36
They're sitting at eighteen and three in conference play, with
45:38
their only series loss coming a couple of weeks ago
45:41
at Liberty, which was the only decided in those losses
45:44
about like three total runs. And then Missouri State, who
45:47
was who was just rolling through conference play, ran into
45:50
the big blue foot of Louisiana Tech and took a
45:54
shocking sweep and rusting in that one. This series, though,
45:57
for me, it kind of compares a little bit to
46:00
the the Auburn A and M series in a way
46:03
where like it's likely gonna be really strong pitching on
46:06
one side and really strong offense on the other. Like
46:08
Jack State's rotation with Eli Pillsberry, Bo Bryan's and Cash
46:13
steven have been just outstanding all year long. For him.
46:16
They got a few strong bats as well, Jackson, Pate
46:19
Grays and Ashey, Caleb Johnson, Brady Thomas, but they don't,
46:23
you know, they don't really stand up too much to
46:25
this Missouri State offense. I know they had a down
46:27
weekend last weekend, but like they're either first or second
46:31
in the CUSA in just about every offensive stat you
46:34
can find. They got like seven or eight really strong hitters,
46:38
you know, Bogan, Paul Curry, Sutherland, Gabe Rossler, Carter Bergman,
46:42
just just to name a few of them. But like,
46:44
as long as they don't have to face these these
46:46
the law tech arms again, they're gonna be They're gonna
46:49
be really good. And I don't think you can those hitters.
46:52
And they got a pretty good thing going on the
46:54
rotation too. I like this gonna it's gonna be a
46:56
fun series.
46:58
Speaker 1: All right, Jake, Well, I'll I'll let you lead us off. Ben,
47:01
who are you thinking for this one?
47:04
Speaker 3: I am? I am gonna pick Missouri State. I went
47:09
back and forth. I think they I just think they
47:11
bounced back at home. They're seventeen and one at home
47:15
this year. I know Jack State's also got the record,
47:18
but like you know, they're seventeen to one at home.
47:20
The offense is good enough to hit against just about anybody.
47:24
Jack State. They have a pretty firm lead in the
47:26
c USA standings right now, but I think Most State
47:29
gets a little bit closer this weekend. I'm gonna pick
47:31
them to win.
47:33
Speaker 1: Well said, how about how about Josh? What's he leading here?
47:36
I have a fit. I'm just gonna.
47:40
Speaker 3: Josh is going Jacksonville State. He's a big jack State guy.
47:44
His notes are elite pitching meets elite offense like we
47:48
just talked about. So give me, give me Steve Beezer
47:50
and the boys to cement themselves as a two seed
47:53
and the c USA champs.
47:58
Speaker 1: Quinn, were you leaning here, I'm gonna go with my.
48:02
Speaker 4: Game cocks, not my real game cocks, but the other ones.
48:06
I'm gonna go with Jack State. I'm gonna say they
48:10
just pitch it. I mean, I've I think I'm a
48:14
little lower on Missouri State, just given Keen Boganpole hasn't
48:19
been great this year. I mean, for somebody with so
48:22
much power, he only has five home runs, just slamming
48:24
the ball on the ground right now.
48:26
Speaker 6: So I'm just gonna go with jack State.
48:29
Speaker 1: Keep it rolling, h jb Uh. I love JB's analysis here, Jake,
48:38
tell me who this sounds like. When I say it,
48:40
the analysis says Missouri State honestly vibes shout out JB.
48:47
So that's another one from Missouri State on the board.
48:50
Uh drew to break the tie again. Golly Bill, I
48:57
think I'm gonna go Jack State. Because I don't need
49:00
Josh to lose. I don't need him to have any
49:02
more separation from me, and we already have two, two
49:06
separate kicks here, so I need to I need to
49:09
mind that for what it's worth, I do like Missouri
49:12
State at home these bats. Quinn made a great point.
49:16
Bogan Pole has not looked the part that we had
49:19
elevated him to in the preseason. The rest of that
49:21
team has done a fabulous job in kind of lifting
49:24
him despite that that lack of impact on his behalf.
49:30
This is a gamer pick and I've got to play
49:32
the game as bad as I hate to say it. Quinn,
49:35
Let's turn our focus back to the sec uh Ole
49:39
Miss in Arkansas. I a couple of teams that, again,
49:45
I think at the onset of the year, we would
49:47
have had a radically different opinion of what this is
49:49
going to look like the last uh three quarters of
49:53
the way through the season. Now, I think we have
49:55
a much clearer picture of a different outlook for the
49:59
Rebels and for the Razorbacks. When we think about this series,
50:03
what springs to mind as being pivotal for either Ole
50:06
Miss or Arkansas.
50:08
Speaker 4: I think the Arkansas offense needs to get going a
50:10
little bit more. They didn't do a ton against the
50:14
all be it pretty bad Missouri team. Obviously, the pitching
50:18
wasn't great on Saturday for them, But.
50:22
Speaker 3: They need to hit and they need it.
50:25
Speaker 6: I've said it before. They need the bottom of the
50:26
line of the get going.
50:27
Speaker 3: T J.
50:28
Speaker 6: Pompey has been on and off all year, Nolan sus
50:30
has been on and off all year.
50:32
Speaker 1: Kuhio Aloy.
50:33
Speaker 6: You never know who's gonna strike out four times or
50:35
at four.
50:35
Speaker 4: Home runs like they need they need. They just need
50:38
more out of their offense and pitching staff. Honestly, they're
50:43
just right in the middle there of really good to
50:46
maybe not so good.
50:48
Speaker 3: I think so.
50:48
Speaker 1: I got to see a little bit of Arkansas today
50:52
and again the bats it not where you want them
50:56
to be. It's it's getting suspected. I think old this
51:00
is a team that could take advantage of that. Especially,
51:02
like we said earlier in the episode, top of that
51:05
lineup for ole Miss is looking really really good and
51:09
really balanced, considering it's spread a lot of talent over
51:12
five guys. Quinn, we will start with you to make
51:15
your selection though, ole Miss in Arkansas, who do you like?
51:19
I'm gonna go with ole Miss.
51:21
Speaker 6: I think I like what their offense has been doing.
51:26
Speaker 4: Owen Paino maybe starting to break out and waiting waiting
51:29
for that for like two years now. Maybe it's starting
51:33
to come. Maybe not, But I think I'm gonna say
51:36
he's the X factor and I think he can help
51:39
lead Ole Miss to a series win.
51:41
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Uh, Jake, Let's start
51:44
with Josh on this one and then we'll get your
51:46
thoughts ole Miss in Arkansas.
51:50
Speaker 3: He is gonna go Ole Miss, he says. Arkansas has
51:53
given me no reason to believe in them besides the
51:55
Bama series and the and the Ribs still look really
52:00
good last weekend despite the loss. Put me down for
52:02
a Hunter Elliott bounce back week and three Tristan beset
52:05
of bombs as well.
52:08
Speaker 1: Three Tristant bombs. It's like you took the words out
52:11
of my mouth, Jake, what do you think.
52:14
Speaker 3: You know? I think I'm gonna go. I think I'm
52:16
gonna go Arkansas. Like, first of all, a little bit
52:20
off topic. I'm not a fan of Arkansas's website. I
52:23
don't know how much time you guys have spent on that.
52:25
Arkansas Like scheduling like pulling up their stats. It's just
52:28
I'm just not a fan of it. I just need
52:30
to get that out there. But I am I am
52:34
gonna pick Arkansas just just o miss. Traveling to that
52:39
environment after losing that tough home series just doesn't feel
52:43
great to me. It could be a close one. I
52:46
think Arkansas could put together enough enough strong performances to
52:50
pull this one out.
52:54
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't like that website at all. Yeah,
52:59
this is this is strange. I'll pick for JB. First.
53:03
JB said he sees this one as a bit of
53:05
a coin flip. So Jake, I think that's interesting that
53:10
he sees it that way and then goes Arkansas with you, buddy,
53:14
it's it's gonna be interesting because I'm leaning old. I
53:18
think I'm gonna take old Miss. I just from watching
53:22
Arkansas today, seeing them in a midweek look as wishy
53:29
washy at the plate. I can't think of a better
53:31
verb or excuse me, an adjective than wishy washy for them,
53:34
they just don't look This does not look like the
53:37
Arkansas team I watched last year in super Regionals thinking
53:41
this could be a national champion. This looks so far
53:44
from that squad, I will take Old Miss, who I
53:47
think I've been very impressed with of late through the year.
53:52
I do agree with JB though, that I think it
53:53
could be a coin flip. I think this is certainly
53:55
gonna be a split series. If either team can pull
53:57
off a sweep here, I think that may actually be
54:00
one of the most impressive beats of the weekend because
54:03
I think these may be again I don't want to
54:06
kind of go back to the cliche, but really, neither
54:09
of these teams can stand to lose this this late
54:12
in the series or in the season. Excuse me, especially
54:15
with Old Miss, kind of as you said Jake in
54:18
the hosting conversation for Regional, Jake, let's talk another Big
54:24
twelve matchup TCU and Oklahoma State. Being brief here, Jake,
54:29
I think that these are teams who I'd comfortably put
54:32
in that second tier of kind of Big twelve threats.
54:36
I really like the bats for both of these squads.
54:40
The pitchers have had some bright lights, some have had
54:43
some strong performances. More often than not, it is the
54:46
arms that let them down.
54:48
Speaker 3: Though.
54:48
Speaker 1: So Jake, in this series TCU and Oklahoma State, who
54:51
are you taking and why.
54:55
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Drew, didn't I ask for your
54:57
permission last time that I will on here to start
55:01
talking more about TCU again With some of these top
55:04
Big twelve teams. I believe I was head coled a
55:07
little bit by Josh and jab or they at least
55:10
laughed in my face for it. But they're here now.
55:12
TCU's here now, they're tied for third place in the
55:15
Big twelve. I love, I am gonna, I am gonna pick.
55:22
I am gonna pick TCU. They've had back to back
55:25
strong weekends. We got to see some Tommy lapoor Uh.
55:29
You know how huge is that for them that he's
55:31
getting to come back, like you know, I don't think
55:34
at least at least for like the next week or two,
55:36
this probably doesn't necessarily affect like the rotation. I don't
55:39
know that he's gonna like start right away, or he'll
55:41
probably at least be on some kind of pitch count whatever.
55:43
But just him being back and just him his presence
55:46
and him being able to come out of the bullpen
55:47
at at any moment is gonna have pressure put on
55:50
the whatever team they're going up against, knowing that they
55:53
have him in their back pocket to run out for
55:55
any or two. But you know, last weekend, you know,
55:58
everything kind of looked good for him against Houston, Stress Snyder,
56:02
Bruntson didn't even really have the strongest weekends. It was
56:04
kind of just like everybody else. Jack bellm Griffin, Brady
56:10
Dallamore of Leedington, all the guys looked really good at
56:13
the plate, and then the starters also got it done.
56:16
So I think they keep rolling and if they, you know,
56:20
this weekend, cook me could put me all the way
56:21
back on the hot train with TCU.
56:24
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. For what it's worth, you were
56:27
calling out the receipts earlier, JB said he's gonna take TCU,
56:31
and he says, I think they keep bouncing back. So, Jake,
56:35
you might have you might have set the record straight
56:38
for these boys. What about Josh, what's he thinking?
56:41
Speaker 3: Josh is going Oklahoma State? He says. He says, both
56:44
of these teams need this series badly for postseason purposes.
56:48
But I'll trust home field advantage and the high flying
56:50
Oklahoma State offense to overwhelm the recently heating up TCU arms.
56:56
Speaker 1: Jake, I don't want to be a hater here, and
56:58
I'm not gonna but I will say I think Oklahoma
57:01
State's offense is just too high right now. Aiden Iola
57:05
has looked like a man on legitimate fire, like you
57:07
could tell me he is like suffering from severe burns
57:10
at all times. Just because of the way he's played
57:12
in the last couple of weekends. Colin Ritchie is as
57:15
a catalyst of all catalysts, can set an entire game
57:19
to a different tune with one at bat when he's on.
57:24
Let me let me rephrase that. I do like the
57:28
home field advantage. I think Oklahoma State's gonna take it
57:32
despite the fact that TCU's pitchers have looked really good.
57:36
I'm gonna butcher his name, Jake Is it Lance Davis?
57:39
Is that correct? For TCU? He has been exceptional on Sundays,
57:44
has really anchored that team when they need him. I
57:48
don't want to go without shouting him out. But I'm
57:50
gonna take Oklahoma State and in an added benefit, that
57:53
keeps me in Josh pretty close in terms of win loss,
57:56
so I gotta consider that as well. Quinn, round us
57:59
off break the tie Oklahoma State and TCU.
58:02
Speaker 6: I am struggling big time.
58:04
Speaker 4: I could see it going either way, I feel very
58:06
fifty to fifty about this. I think the Oklahoma State
58:10
pitching staff will have a better weekend. But so and
58:14
I am on record as saying TCU is bad. That
58:19
wasn't That was a long time ago, Okay, but I
58:22
did say it, So I don't want to completely walk
58:25
it back.
58:25
Speaker 6: And I like the home field advantage. Let's go Oklahoma State,
58:29
all right.
58:30
Speaker 1: I don't feel Oh, I hear you. This is like
58:34
I said, yeah, it's it's tough, and this is it's
58:38
really kind of reminiscent of this next series we're going
58:40
to talk about where it's it's clearly kind of that
58:42
second tier but still very very good teams. But we're
58:47
gonna switch back to the SEC for the fourth of
58:50
four matchups. In the SEC we're going to talk about
58:52
and Quinn, I'm gonna let you lead it off because
58:55
you have not yet, you've not yet gotten a pick
58:58
between team and then the the flo mixing Mystery of
59:04
coin flips that is Doctor Florida and mister Gators. I'm curious,
59:09
what do you think the outlook's gonna be in this one?
59:11
Speaker 3: Sir? I think only God knows. I mean, it could
59:16
be either way, it would be one.
59:18
Speaker 6: Either way could end and it's high. I mean, God
59:23
only knows.
59:24
Speaker 1: Let's let's roll Florida.
59:27
Speaker 6: I don't know who, nobody knows.
59:29
Speaker 4: Let's say Brendan Lawson gets hot again and hits maybe
59:33
over two hundred this week.
59:34
Speaker 1: Let's go flid.
59:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, when you got some of the you gotta
59:40
you got your You're going back to backs with with
59:42
some funny, funny comments last weekend when you talked about
59:45
I think it was it was Joryan Wilson. I think
59:48
it was, and you were like you, I have one
59:50
where I have one comment to make about Jordyan Wilson.
59:52
I love him, and I thought, you.
59:58
Speaker 1: Quinn, that was so good? Only goes all right, man, Jake,
1:00:03
can you talk for a minute.
1:00:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I have a similar sentiment though
1:00:10
that that with Quinn, like the tolf of my notes
1:00:12
for this one I have on here, like do we
1:00:14
have to pick this one? This isn't gonna be fun
1:00:17
like this the series is gonna be fun, of course,
1:00:19
but predicting a winner is not gonna be fun. And
1:00:21
like I know the Jack going Hyde thing is, but
1:00:24
but like it's it's it's as real as a as
1:00:27
something like that can get. You know, Oklahoma's kind of
1:00:29
going through a little bit of that too. You know,
1:00:30
they'll win one, lose one, win to lose to You
1:00:33
just don't really know what you're gonna get from either
1:00:36
of these teams on either side of the ball. So,
1:00:38
I mean, picking this one is gonna be, is gonna be,
1:00:41
it's it's not gonna be an easy task.
1:00:44
Speaker 1: No, well, let's start with Josh and then we'll roll
1:00:47
through to you. In terms of picks and logic.
1:00:51
Speaker 3: Josh is going Florida, uh, way more, he says, way
1:00:54
more talented and do for a series win. At this point,
1:00:58
I think I'm also gonna to pick Florida. I think
1:01:01
just the talent and I think just kind of the
1:01:04
You know, there's not much certainty in either of these teams.
1:01:06
But you know, if there's one thing that is certain,
1:01:09
it's that Aiden King is gonna give you a good
1:01:10
start on Friday. And like that can't really be said
1:01:14
the same for any of their other starters, even Liam Peterson,
1:01:16
with as talented as he is. But if I if
1:01:18
I can trust my Friday guy to go in and
1:01:20
give me I mean, I mean, you can almost bet
1:01:22
he's gonna give you seven innings one run or less.
1:01:25
I mean, it's it's like automatic. At this point. You
1:01:28
have to feel good about your chances the rest of
1:01:29
the weekend. So I'm going to Florida. It is.
1:01:31
Speaker 1: It is kind of just we can bank on a
1:01:33
quality start. If I can use a fantasy baseball term,
1:01:35
I mean, we're looking at at least six innings with
1:01:37
two or less earned runs, a couple punch outs. That's
1:01:40
what you're gonna get from Aiden King, barring something that
1:01:42
we I'm I was just about to say, I don't
1:01:47
think Oklahoma can do it. Uh, So I'll go ahead
1:01:50
and tell you I'm gonna take Florida for sure. And
1:01:52
then JB says it is the Good Doctor in this one,
1:01:57
and he's gonna take Florida as well. But I'm gonna
1:02:00
not push I think that how interesting would it be
1:02:03
if Florida could, at any point maybe rein in some
1:02:05
of this wildness and use it to their advantage. I
1:02:09
don't know how that could go about, but man, what
1:02:12
if it's some highe energy with this Florida team that
1:02:14
sends them on a role rather than the stability of
1:02:17
the Good Doctor Florida. What if mister Gators rars them
1:02:21
beautiful chompers and starts by I don't know. I think
1:02:23
that Florida has so much talent that they're going to
1:02:27
figure it out at some point. I just don't know
1:02:29
that if it's not going to be too late this
1:02:31
season for it to really matter, we'll find out. Finally,
1:02:36
Jake walk us through because we've got one more and
1:02:39
we're going to go back to the mid major rankings.
1:02:41
Because the first thing I want from you is where
1:02:43
do these two teams fall on the most recent mid
1:02:45
major rankings. I also want your X factor between Louisiana
1:02:48
Tech Dallas Baptist another very interesting when these have been
1:02:52
teams kind of on the peripheral, if not outright included
1:02:55
in our top twenty five teams for Prospect's Life.
1:03:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, for my mid major rankings, Tech, they were down
1:03:04
a little bit. They were down to twenty four. They've
1:03:07
been as low as like I think they've been as
1:03:09
low as like twenty nine or twenty eight or something.
1:03:10
They've kind of they've been playing better as of late,
1:03:13
and obviously the last big weekend, I've bumped them up
1:03:15
to eighteen in the top twenty now and that dropped
1:03:19
Missouri State down just outside of that top like seven.
1:03:22
I think there's like seven or eight really really good
1:03:24
mid major teams, and I just got Missouri State just
1:03:27
on the outside there, and then Dallas Baptists right behind
1:03:30
them at nine. So this is number nine versus number
1:03:34
eighteen in my rankings. But last weekend, you know, it
1:03:38
was just an awesome weekend for Louisiana Tech against Missouri State,
1:03:43
you know, for them being them, just scoing them to
1:03:45
sweep one of the best big major teams in the country,
1:03:47
which was something that I don't think anybody expected. DBU's
1:03:51
also coming off a pretty strong weekend, especially at the plate,
1:03:55
but they're pitching has been has been rough. They really
1:03:58
haven't pitched well as a team this year. Liam Watt
1:04:02
and Borberg, Jared Jenkins with the rotation last weekend, they've
1:04:06
kind of mixed some guys in and out, but like
1:04:08
they had some decent outings, just as as a whole,
1:04:11
they haven't been consistent enough. And then the pitching side
1:04:15
for LA Tech, Declan Dahl, Hudson Row and Landon Fountain O.
1:04:19
They've all been pretty good all year, but where they
1:04:21
were all really really good against Missouri State UH in
1:04:24
that sweep, but uh and then offensively on both sides
1:04:28
they vote. They all have some hitters. I think DBU's
1:04:30
UH line up really really you know, it's just a
1:04:34
really deep line up, similar to Missouri State's line up.
1:04:37
You know, Jake, Jake Bennett, Luke pettittt been trying, Cooper Neville,
1:04:42
Dylan Cup. It just it just kind of keeps going
1:04:44
with that lineup. It's really just relentless. I got to
1:04:46
see him in person a few weeks ago, or it's
1:04:48
probably going on a month ago now at at Delaware,
1:04:50
and just to see all those see all those hitters
1:04:53
in person was it was fun to watch. And Uh,
1:04:56
I guess I can just make my pick. I'm gonna
1:04:57
go with Dallas Baptist. I picked La Tech in an
1:05:01
early series. I think it was like week two. We
1:05:03
had them on the on the pick them against Southern
1:05:05
miss And I went with Latech is kind of an underdog.
1:05:09
So I do like l Tech. I have my feelings
1:05:11
haven't changed too much. I just think this DBU offense
1:05:14
is going to be too much for them to handle.
1:05:16
Speaker 1: I don't mean to pile on, but yeah, DBU's offense
1:05:20
has got some some absolute I mean studs. I think
1:05:24
they're not being talked about enough as a matter of
1:05:26
fact in terms of the draft conversation. Just for for
1:05:29
what it's worth, I'm gonna take DBU as well. Uh.
1:05:31
Like you said, respect to law Tech. Uh what what
1:05:34
was that you said earlier about them? You had the
1:05:36
line of the episode until Quinn came through with the
1:05:39
Florida line a minute ago? What was you said?
1:05:42
Speaker 3: I think I think it was the Missouri state into
1:05:44
the blue foot.
1:05:46
Speaker 1: Of a lot of I love that, truly a great line.
1:05:50
Speaker 3: Uh.
1:05:50
Speaker 1: I think the big Blue foot is gonna stay on
1:05:53
the ground this upcom of weekend, though, I'll go ahead
1:05:57
and pick for JB as well. JB said DBU bats
1:06:00
get it done, So he's with us there. What about Josh?
1:06:03
What's Josh Lyndon here?
1:06:05
Speaker 3: He's going to us Baptist, he says. Neither of these
1:06:08
teams have a single Q one win this year, so
1:06:10
it's hard to get a real feel for who can
1:06:13
step up here. But La tex seems to die on
1:06:16
the road a little bit. So I'm gonna go with
1:06:18
the Patriots, all.
1:06:19
Speaker 1: Right, And when Quinn round us off Man, your first
1:06:22
pick them, you get the last pick.
1:06:24
Speaker 6: I'm gonna stay with you, guys.
1:06:25
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go roll with the DBU Bats.
1:06:27
Speaker 4: That lineup is pretty loaded, and I don't think laud
1:06:30
Tech's gonna stop him this weekend.
1:06:32
Speaker 1: Wow, two sweet two sweeps to round us off there,
1:06:35
and that matches the earlier sweep with Arizona State. So
1:06:40
it's gonna be an interesting week of pick them boys.
1:06:42
I think it's I think it's just a testament to
1:06:44
kind of at this point in the season, no matter
1:06:47
where you're playing, no matter what conference, it's all very relative,
1:06:51
and it's all very very important as it comes to
1:06:54
hosting a great episode. Thank you all. Some some killer
1:06:58
lines in here too, Man All time a for Jake,
