• 17:27
  Speaker 6: a picture from the night. Maybe I can find it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: We'll put it up on the screen. We had a
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: couple of cold pops the week of the Florida game
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: two thousand and seven, the only time that I went
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: out on a Thursday, That's right, guess what happened and
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: had you know, had the game of my life.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: So you know, jokes on, we were just built a
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: little different, you know.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: So it was the three team, so I was watching
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the three team got it in.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: So I was watching the uh, the Red Sox documentary
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: on Netflix. It's so good, right, So it's about the
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: three to four Red Sox they you know, breaking what's
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: it called Breaking the Curse is the name of the documentary.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: That team reminded me so much of our teams at
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: LSU because they were just they were crazy. They had
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: this awesome relationship, but they were just like super loose,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: different than all the other teams. They had this like
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: real special special bond that like really brings the team together.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: But the part that really made it was when they
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: were down three games the Yankees, they started doing Jack Daniels.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Shots before the games.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: So right before the game they started just shooting whiskey
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: and they won the game. So that was their thing
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: after that, We're gonna shoot whiskey, We're gonna party, We're
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: gonna be crazy. What they call They called themselves idiots,
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: is that right? They called themselves idiots, And we often
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: refer to ourselves as idiots. I mean other people refer
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: to us as the same. Yeah, they did.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna find this picture though now like on a
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: mission of that I'm talking about, you'll see.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I think it was.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Was it the picture that was like my old school
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: like MySpace picture.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Or something like that. I think I had it on
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: social media at one point.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: But seriously about documentaries.

• 20:51
  Speaker 6: MINSI online was like if I did that on my show,

• 20:59
  Speaker 6: with blah blah blah and whatever. Like you know, for
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: a while, I'm like, cool, but we should have told

  Speaker 6: It is boots On the ground from Omaha, LSU, Legend, ESPN,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: SEC Network, He's everywhere. Ben McDonald joins us again here
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: on the show. Ben always appreciate the time, sir, Hope
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: you're doing well this morning.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, always great to think with you guys. Yeah, man,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: everything's good here in Omaha. The sun is shining. Hopefully
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: we don't have any weather. The leg is the man
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: what we are down to the final four, so it's
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: it's getting pretty dag gum exciting. We've had some really
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: good ball games.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, no question about it. Has certainly been a get
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: that keeps on giving. And yesterday right LSU, they got
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: to come back, they got to resume the game early
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: in the morning, and a lot of us been were
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: wondering how they were going to handle it, and they throw.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Case and Evans.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Jay Johnson was not taking any chances on not closing
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: the door on UCLA, and there was a lot of
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: people who maybe thought maybe you would go to a
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: different arm and try to piece it together, but Jay
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Johnson said, no way, we are going to go to
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: our guy right now. What did you think of that
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: decision to go with Cason.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Evans, Well, you know that's kind of what we thought
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: he was going to do because I mean, if Felis,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: you had to lead when the rains came right and
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you walk in with a lead and you got to
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: hang on to that lead. And Cason Evans has been
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: your best this year. When you talk about coming out
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: of the bullpen, he's got some starts under his belt,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: but the freshman has been unbelievable. He came in and
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: did his thing, you know, and so it's good to
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: see how you know, we always thought that's what Jay
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: was going to do, to come to try to win
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: that ball game and get that cat bird seat. Now
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit disadvantaged for l issue because obviously
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the game would have continued, LSU would have won, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: then you get two days off, but now you only
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: get to one day off. You got to come back
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: to play, you know, And so that's the only bad thing.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: While Coastal Carolina on the other side, was kind of
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: sitting back letting everybody play into them. You know, they
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: got there too and out of the way early and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: had a couple of days off and they'll be ready
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: to go to day against Louisville.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Ben.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I know all the coaches for tonight's game. They're going
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: to keep their cards put pretty close to the chest
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: as far as pitching goes. But when you look at
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: this game, when you look at the matchup, this team's
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: you know, very familiar with each other. LSU and Arkansas.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: What are the like the key matchup points? Are the
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: key differentiators that you see going into this first game?
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I mean you're talking about, to me,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the two best teams here on paper, you know, Arkansas
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: and LSU. And look, it's a different subject, but I'm
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: all for reseeding. What you get to the College Rule Series.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, there's no way these two teams should
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: be on the same side of the brackets and macking
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: up in game one as the College World Series. But
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that's what happened, and that's a whole different topic. But
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: you know, look, Arkansas to me, is the most complete
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: team in the country. If you look at their numbers
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: from batting average, for runs per game to e er
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the fielding percentage, they lead the country a fielding percentage,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: pitching its top ten, right behind LSU. It's a really
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: complete team. They can do a little bit of everything.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: For you. You know, there was a concern with LSU going
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: into regional play, as you guys know, they only average
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: what about five point eight runs per game their final
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: eleven games a year before regionals begin, and they have
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: really picked up the offense. And that's what you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: everybody wanted to see from LSU. You knew the picking
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: was strong, you knew that the defense has been really
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: strong this year, but could the office begin to match
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: everything else? And they have, And they ran through regionals
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and had a little bit of a scare and super regels,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: you know, and all that kind of stuff, but they
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: made it here to Omaha and the offense looks really,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: really good. So look, it's gonna come down like it
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: always does when you get these two kind of powerhouse programs,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: one big hit somewhere, you know, one pitch made or
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: not Paie, maybe one defensive play made or not made,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: you know, and so those that's what this game's gonna
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: come down to. The question is who's gonna start, Who's
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: going to do their thing? And I don't know who
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: ELSEU is gonna start. So people thinking, you know, that
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: they're gonna run Anthony Iamton back out there, I don't
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: think that's gonna happen. I think Anson is going to
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: be saved for the back end of the bullpen kind
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: of what he did in regionals. And if LSU's got
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: to lead going into the eighth inning or the ninth inning,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I think you see Iyason. If LSU doesn't have a lead,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: they're trying to hang on, then you save Ayanton for
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a potential game tomorrow, you know, to get you to
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the College World Series Finals. That's what you're looking at.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: So I don't know who the star is going to be.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: You know, Nuke's got to start, Zak Cowen's got to
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: start in post season play. So fifty one and two,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: those two guys, you make it a bullpen day, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: you see where you're at. About the seventh for the
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: eighthen you know.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Been for Arkansas having to play an extra game and
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: then for Root to only last thirty eight pitches in
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: game number one about as best case scenario for what
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: they have available. Knowing they've played the extra game because
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: of what they've gotten in the performances they've gotten over
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: the last couple of days.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Well, no doubt in Arkansas it's worked out firstally for them.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I mean it started off with wood, right, I mean,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: would throws a no hitter, you only lose one pick,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: you only use one picture, and then you roll into
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: yesterday and you're able to bring back your number one
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: guy who picked really really well. In Root, they only
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: use the him and Az with a couple of other
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: pictures to kind of get to the game. So it
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: is a deep, deep fifty stand at Arkansas had. It's
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: a lot like Yel's use the tie velocity, big time
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: stuff at the back end of the bullpen, and they
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: got some dudes back there, man, And so yeah, it
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: worked out perfectly. I mean, adirell As Shuger were sitting
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: back hoping Arkansas would burn a few arms the wood
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: throws a no hitter, you know, and then all of
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a sudden, Yesterday don't burn many arms either at all.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: So look, it's it's kind of all hands on deck
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: right now. I think everybody's pretty much at full capacity
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: as far as their bullpen pieces go, you know. So
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a great game, man, It's gonna be
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a really really good game.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Ben.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting there watching the game last night, Ucla versus Arkansas,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: and as a former athlete, I'm all for being aggressive,
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: and so this is kind of like one of those
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: situations in football. It's like you go for it on
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: fourth down. If you get it, it's great. If you don't,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: blah blah blah. I'm so they're watching the first inning,
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: faces loaded, two outs, they get caught with their pants
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: sound stealing home What'd you think about that move? What
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: do you think about that call? It's one of those things.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: If it works out, great, If it doesn't, kind of
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: looks bad. But I'm all for being aggressive.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: But what do you think?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's one of those scenarios. You got
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a left handed pitcher on the mound and you got
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: a left handed hitter at the plate. The left handed
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: hitter is not hitting very wall off left, so I
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: think if you look at it, you go, all right,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: he's got two strikes on it. Maybe we could steal
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: one right here, you know, and you try and look.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I mean the replay I saw the replace it in
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the hotel room, and it was so close. But I
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: think if the call would have been the other way,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: it would have stood the other way too. But it
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: was a held up because it looked like it was
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: just bang bang at home plate. So they tried to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: steal a run right there. And you know that's the
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: thing about us LA here is their offense. Man, it's
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: pretty good. They struggled to score run here at the
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Alma Hall. You know, I think they were just trying
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: to the matchup. The matchup hold you that you probably
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: weren't going to get a hit with two strikes, we
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: might as well try to steal one.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: But it was.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Certainly a huge momentum swinger in that case for sure.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Been one of the things we've talked about throughout. You know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: the postseason has been Bear Jones and certainly he's been up,
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: he's been down, but coming off of five strikeout performance
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: and you know, staying after with Jay Johnson. We all
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: saw the videos there and for him to come up
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: and have the home run that he had against UCLA
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: after they scored three in the first and I mean,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: you're in the danger zone and he certainly breathes life
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: back into the game. Gives LSU the lead as a
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: baseball player, because look, Flynn and I were football guys, right,
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: and so like baseball deals with failure every single day,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: every single game. It's about the next step bat, it's
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: about the next pitch, and you've got to really like
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: just clear it from your memory bank there. How impressive
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: was that to you that bar Jones was able to
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: do that after getting a five strikeout game, to come
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: back and lead his team to victory like that.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, and me, I always say it's about baseball players. Man.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: You can't have star tissue because every you know, you
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: get the laser right back out and go to mark.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: You can't carry good or bad what happened to you
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: the day before, previous days. You got to flush it
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: and be able to flush it. I'm happy for Jered Jones.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I mean he's been through a lot in his career.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You know, you remember his freshman year. He was an
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: everyday player. Early got the SCC player, got out matched
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit, pretty much rode the bench the rest
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: of the year, made some big time adjustments. Last year,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: hit twenty eight home runs, could have turned pro turned
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: it down, came back to l This is his draft year, guys.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: And look, that's pressure too that not many people are
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: talking about, because we see this all the time with players.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: They know it's their draft year, they know they're gonna
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: go play pro ball. They want to have a good year.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: You put a little extra pressure on yourself in your
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: draft year and sometimes they can get a little sideways
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: for him, and Jered got off to a great start
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: this year, but then he started to expand his own
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: a little bit. McKenna. It was more about mechanics than
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I saw the clip like you did. And that's kind
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: of what we were seeing was, you know, he was
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: opening up his front side and when he opens up
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: his front side, the bat disc and it's a big
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: bottom to stop swing, meaning you got it, he's not
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: on plane with the baseball, so it's a lot of
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: swing in this there. And you can see in that clip.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Day was talking about where your s front shoulder is
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: staying on the ball, staying through the ball. So it
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: was good to see him have a really nice swing
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: and hit to the backside. Because let's be honest about something, guys,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: if Elisu's gonna win their eighth national title, Jared Jones
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: is gonna have to be a big part of it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: He's gonna bean. He's the big bat in that lineup
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: that can just change the game in one swing like
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: he did the other day, and so you need his
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: confidence to be high. You hope mechanically he's stealing pretty
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: good about where he is right now, he's gonna have
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: to be big. It feel like she's gonna win number
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: eight cause.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: You know, with Ben McDonald here on OTB, Ben, we
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: talk about the pitching staff and like a lot of
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: us are wondering what's it going to look like tonight,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: and there's a lot of different ways you could format it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: But that's not the only thing when it comes to
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: LSU baseball that we're wondering.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: The lineup.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, Jay has done a really nice job beforematting
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: the lineup based off who's hot, based off matchups, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: there's been a lot of movement there, but it's come
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: up big. Like if Ethan Fry doesn't hit second in
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: the Regionals in that final game, I don't know the
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: LSU is still playing. I mean, he came up big
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: when Lshue did not come up big in game number
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: six of the regional and Derek Curry have is somebody
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: that he's been a lead off all year, but they
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: moved him to the sixth hole and they're facing a lefty.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: I've been so impressed, Ben, with not only Jay pushing
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: the right buttons, but the players being big in those
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: moments when they've been shifted when they've been moved around
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: in the lineup and not feeling sorry for themselves or
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: not worrying about it too much. And like for a
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: freshman in Curiel to be a leadoff guy gets moved
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: to the sixth hole and then have the ad bats
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: that he's had on that kind of stage, that's as
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: impressed if it is anything I've seen in Ola.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, Jay kind of runs his lineup
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: like a big league lineup. You know, it's it's lineup.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: You know, it's matchup base and moving Curry all down
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: is a good move. I mean, he tried it for
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: most of the year and in curiy all we know
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: the numbers. He didn't like four forty off varieties and
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: didn't two hundred off lefties, And so it makes sense
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: when you face the left handed starter if you kind
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: of push him down towards the bottom, you know, and
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: you move some right handers up towards the top. I mean,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: that's just a baseball decision. That's what Jay does. And yeah,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I kept the captain the boys, and you know, Jay's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: always had the fuls of this team. He always teaches,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: you know, what's on the front of the jersey, not
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: on the back of the jersey. And this is a
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: team that is a team. This is how we're gonna
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: win number eight. And so the guys have bought into it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: He has been able to get with those guys and say, hey,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: it ain't about you, it's about us. The best potential
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: of me is we if we do well, you're all
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: gonna get your stay in this thing. And they bought
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: into that, man. And so no matter what the lineup is,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: no matter where people are playing, it doesn't matter. This
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: bunch is going to go out and play the game
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: of baseball the way they know how. And they've bought
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: into what James been teaching them. Man. So it's it's
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: been good to see. And again this offense, Man, this
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: offense looks really good to me. It looks like the
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: offense that we saw early in the year middle part
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: of the year. That's going out there, and with this
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: pitching staff that LSU has. Man, I'm telling you what
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: if they can just put some runs on the scoreboard
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: and Arkansas is gonna hit, man, and look, they can
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: swing it. We saw that last night yesterday, you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: against UCLA. They're a really stout team. And so it's
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: like it's two heavyweight guys. It's gonna go blow by blow.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: And we saw the you know, the difference. The difference
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: in the first game was that Root hit two batters,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: you know, walked a couple of guys whatever he did.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: LSU was able to get three runs on the scoreboard
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: that inn Again, that was the difference in the ball game.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: And so it's gonna be a fun game.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: No doubt about it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: And last one for you, Ben.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: We always appreciate the time when you're facing a team
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: that you know so well, like LSU and Arkansas. Do
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: they've played four times this year, when you're trying to
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: decide who's going to start the game for you, do
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: you go back to when you played them in the
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: regular season and say, hey, Zach Cowen through three innings
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: scoreless baseball, didn't give up a lot, talk to a couple,
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: but struck out three. Or do you say this is
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: what it is right now, this is the player that
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: I feel good about right now?
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Like what is that decision like?
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: For j Johnson, I think it's all the above. I
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: you know, I think he's going to factor in. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: do I think he's going to factor in the success
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: that they've had against one another. He's going to factor
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: in who's hot and who's not for Arkansas, who he
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: feels like, where his pockets are, to bring certain guys
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: in to be able to give him the platoon advantage
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: wherever he can, and that and and I think you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Jay is a thinker as you guys. Though I always
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: say this about Jay Johnson, he is the most prepared coach.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: He will beat himself up a million times over trying
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: to figure this thing out, but he prepares his guys
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: the best way to go out and have success. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I think Jay is factoring a ton of different things
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: along with they get to the pitching coaches try to
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: figure out, you know, what's going to give them the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: best chance to succeed. And he's broken and I'm sure
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: he's broke it down a million times, a million different
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: ways all the way through the game.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: All Right, there he is our guy, Ben McDonald, doing
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: big things there in Omahall as always been. We appreciate
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: your time, man, look forward to hearing you again and
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: enjoy the scenes there in Omaha.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, always good to talk to you, all.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: Right, Ben McDonald, LSU legend, and uh you know, for
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: my money, the best to call games.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, just so easy to listen.
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: To allow the college talent to call the college games.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: I wish he was calling more than only few games.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, give me lynnon Ben up there in Omaha.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: At least they know the players and they know the situation.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: You got pro guys up there, just.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Men, you do it?
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: You ready, we'd crush, We would absolutely crush.
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: You're gonna be the play by play. You're gonna be
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: the color analyst. I could probably dabble in both. All right,
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: set the scene for me.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Go ahead. No no, no, no, not ready. Just you
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: said you could do both. Oh, I have a lot
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: of many hours to prepare if we were doing it tonight.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: All right, we are going to close out the show.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Do you want to go? You wanna give one more card?
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: Are we saving that? I mean you left us, He
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: left us on a base car.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: We're gonna pull this last one from the bottom, from
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: the bottom here, all right, so yeah, from the bottom.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: All the toy holt okay, all right, little Saint Louis
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: Ram check that out. We'll throw it back. He's saving
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: all the good cards for the last.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: You think Ben likes car portion of it? I mean,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I don't think he doesn't like him. He probably didn't know.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: I mean he probably has some in his collection. I
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: mean every every youth athlete that played in the pros
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: like has a deep love for the sport they played.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I bet he's got some coll ones of himself. I
• 40:43
