  He is currently amidst a ten round classic slugfest with allergies.
• 2:06
  It's mister Josh Catlin. Josh, how you feeling.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know how I've made it ten rounds. I'm
• 2:11
  not about to make it very further of these These
• 2:14
  allergies are kicking my ass right now. But it's okay
• 2:16
  because I'm here.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I keep your hands on it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: It's not gonna be keep jabbing me right here, over
• 2:22
  and over all. Right, I'm dodging a little bit. I'm
• 2:25
  making it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Shout out dodge uh no, for real, though you're you're
• 2:28
  doing You're doing a great job, and we're glad that
• 2:31
  you're here with us. We'll try to make this, make
• 2:33
  this quick so that you can get to bed. We
• 2:36
  know that that's your your second favorite thing behind college
• 2:38
  baseball is getting the bed at the decent out absolutely
• 2:41
  good stuff. Joining us at the bottom right corner, it
• 2:44
  is JB. Sebastiano, JB. Hello, sir, how are you?
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: I'm doing great, Drew. Here's the one thing I got
• 2:50
  to add on to that is how is Josh's zertech
• 2:53
  collection going? Do we got a stock pile over there?
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I'm not a desert tech guy. I'm where right now
• 3:00
  like a Suda fed during the day, been a drill
• 3:02
  at night, like the dake will mixed in here and there.
• 3:06
  Maybe like I'm trying everything until something works and alert
• 3:09
  usually don't get to me like this, Like this is
• 3:11
  not a thing I ever go through, So I'm experimenting
• 3:14
  every way I can love that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah medicinally, Yeah, good, good clarification. We all know Josh
• 3:23
  goes to bed early too now and why he's going
• 3:25
  to bed early because Southern Miss this weekend. His favorite
• 3:27
  team didn't play well, so he's gotta early, you know,
• 3:30
  he's he's regrouping for next week.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I watched too many fourteen inning baseball games this weekend.
• 3:37
  I need some sleep, that's fair.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's long day for Yeah, jeez, long day for ONNK.
• 3:43
  That's like that means to be tapping in my back anyway.
• 3:48
  On the bottom left, it is your friend and mine,
• 3:50
  coach Jake Barjorie Jake. It's been a great weekend.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Man, it has.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: And you know, I think Josh can kind of relate
• 4:00
  to the episode a little bit, you know, with the
• 4:01
  with the with the allergies kind of pushing him around
• 4:05
  and knocking him down l like like a certain SEC
• 4:07
  team to another SEC team. And you know, we'll probably
• 4:11
  we'll probably talk about it. I don't know if we
• 4:13
  will or not, but a little bit. I'm sure to
• 4:15
  get brought up a little bit. But it was it
• 4:16
  was a great weekend. Yeah, you're right, it has been.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: A great weekend for all of the super biased proponents
• 4:23
  of the SEC Talking Hour that we know, it's been
• 4:26
  a great, great weekend. And that is, of course why
• 4:30
  I'm wearing the outfit that I'm wearing. It's the same
• 4:32
  one that I wore it to duty Noble Field today Sunday,
• 4:36
  April twelfth, twenty twenty six, where we did see the
• 4:40
  balls finish a serious sleep over Mississippi State. Can I
• 4:44
  tell you guys something before I pitch it to you.
• 4:46
  Do you mind a quick story time for my life?
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I would love one? Oh yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: On the way on the way to start, I looked
• 4:55
  at my father and said, I'm gonna be selfish this weekend.
• 4:58
  Hop I want us to win a game. I don't
• 5:02
  want to get swept this weekend. This was my honest expectation.
• 5:07
  I said, I want to win a game. Friday night.
• 5:10
  I said, okay, I said, what if we take this series,
• 5:14
  I'll be selfish again? What if we take this series?
• 5:18
  Saturday evening? You saw it, hopefully on the Twitter machine.
• 5:21
  The splash down in Startville. I looked at my I
• 5:24
  looked at my dad climbing out of that pool. I said,
• 5:26
  that water is awful cold. But I'm gonna be selfish
• 5:28
  one more time. What if we just sweep this series? Guys,
• 5:32
  That's exactly what happened.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Jake.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I want to start with you because from these four
• 5:38
  eyes that have been in Startville at the Carnegie Hall,
• 5:41
  of college baseball. I think the story for Tennessee could
• 5:44
  be divided into two things. The number one, the one
• 5:46
  I want to ask you about, Jake, is how good
• 5:49
  did Tennessee's pitching look in Startville.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: They were?
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: They were awesome, And you know, I just want to
• 5:58
  thank you for just putting down the celebratory beers for
• 6:02
  an hour or so to discuss this series with us,
• 6:05
  because I know you were cracking them all the way
• 6:07
  back from Startful. But uh no, yeah, the picture, the pitching,
• 6:11
  The pitching was awesome, dude, Like like Landon Back and
• 6:14
  Cam Appenzeller were great as you jump. Sure obviously you
• 6:17
  saw on Friday they had fourteen strikeouts combined in that
• 6:20
  one and then follow it up with teaking Coon's Brandon
• 6:23
  Arvinson with another really good performance on Saturday. And then
• 6:26
  but like something that you know might go unnoticed, like
• 6:30
  the bullpen you know on the season hasn't been a
• 6:34
  strength for Tennessee this year, and like those two performances
• 6:38
  going back to Appenzeller to finish the game, then Coons
• 6:41
  to Arvington finish the game that you know that allowed
• 6:43
  them to go into Sunday having only used four total
• 6:47
  pictures and then they go into Sunday, everyone at their disposal.
• 6:51
  Then obviously that you they ended up using their guys.
• 6:53
  Blanco was really good before he handed it over to Brady,
• 6:57
  Frederick Bow, Rudy Chandler, and they just kind of finish
• 7:00
  the job up there, which you know, really really good,
• 7:03
  really good feeling for Balls fans to know that they
• 7:05
  can rely on some pictures to finish games.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: On the road when they have their guys available.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It is Jake, it feels great. And you're right. I
• 7:14
  told you know, I said to Dad. Actually, uh, only
• 7:18
  using four pictures means that in the slightest hint of
• 7:22
  trouble on Sunday, flip the script, like, let's let's bring
• 7:25
  in a different look. Let's get a fresh arm inlet
• 7:28
  give a shoot. You can give somebody three bats. You're
• 7:31
  gonna face three guys and come out regardless of what happens.
• 7:33
  You can, you know, cycle through four or five dudes
• 7:36
  after Blanco gives you hopefully five or six. And that's
• 7:39
  exactly what we saw, man, And yes, uh, truly astonishing pitching.
• 7:43
  And you know you were right to call out Land
• 7:46
  and mac h books look so good. Uh really handled
• 7:51
  the Friday night spotlighting exceptionally well, everything looks sharp. He uh,
• 7:56
  he has a lot of poise. I'll give him that.
• 7:58
  That was what escaped me the most is that mechanically
• 8:02
  he's just very fluid. Is the word that kept coming
• 8:06
  to mind. I think that's the word that my notes
• 8:08
  say at least five or six times as fluid and
• 8:10
  then a couple lines. So, yes, Josh, we're gonna come
• 8:14
  to you next to talk about the other major point
• 8:17
  that I took away. Tennessee's bats really really showed up,
• 8:21
  and it wasn't just a star making performance from anybody particular.
• 8:26
  It seems like guys lifted one another like a good
• 8:29
  lineup should This is the Tennessee offense I've been looking
• 8:33
  for for several weeks. Josh, I'm curious what were your
• 8:35
  thoughts on the volunteers offensive.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you said, at best, it wasn't like
• 8:41
  one particular guy really came through in any instance. It
• 8:44
  was more just a collection of the team as a whole,
• 8:48
  some of all their parts kind of thing. I mean today,
• 8:51
  there were some performances that stood out above other people
• 8:54
  more like more than the rest of the team, like
• 8:56
  Reecee Chapman, looked really good today, Levi Clark. Clark got
• 8:59
  a solid as a whole. But I mean it wasn't
• 9:02
  like anything like Henry Ford didn't really blow you away
• 9:05
  this weekend, like nothing super special. Greenland is his name
• 9:09
  around Grindlinger or Greenlinger? Is it the Greenlander grim Lajard. Yeah,
• 9:14
  he looked really really good yesterday. I don't know how
• 9:16
  many hit I think he ended up with three, maybe,
• 9:18
  like he just kept getting on base when they needed
• 9:20
  them to. You know, like it was really promising to
• 9:24
  see the thing that we had question marks about with
• 9:27
  Tennessee come through and like actually exceed expectations for once
• 9:32
  Mississippi State's offense polar opposite. I don't know if you're
• 9:35
  gonna ask JB about that or not, but like Brice Chance,
• 9:38
  Jacob Parker all the rough weekends and so it was
• 9:42
  the exact opposite of what I expected. But you know what,
• 9:45
  for the sake of you, I'm glad it happened.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks man, Appreciate that. Appreciate your excitement on the Tennessee
• 9:51
  fandom's behalf. JB. Josh. Maybe it's the allergies, but he
• 9:56
  is a mind reader. Right now, we were gonna come
• 9:58
  to you to say, JB, I guess the question is
• 10:02
  we say it all the time in the midweeks, right,
• 10:04
  you can't overreact here this. I feel like this is
• 10:08
  me taking off everything Tennessee here. Sorry, I feel like
• 10:14
  Mississippi State fans will be justified and saying, hold up,
• 10:16
  we got swept by who now like justifiable? Frankly, yeah,
• 10:21
  now I'll be a fan again, JB. To tell you,
• 10:26
  I agree with Josh. Their bats were about as quiet
• 10:29
  as you could get. In certain instance has looked frankly
• 10:33
  lost at the plate more often than not, with some acceptions.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean for Mississippi State this weekend, I think
• 10:40
  it was just kind of a failure all around on
• 10:43
  different aspects. You know, Aiden TiAl didn't necessarily provide his
• 10:47
  normal table setting self on the weekend. He was three
• 10:52
  for his overall thirteen on the weekend, so I'd say
• 10:57
  that is not our normal aid in teal that usually
• 10:59
  get on a weekend. Just overall, the offense wasn't really
• 11:04
  there Ace Reese. You know, he had to double in
• 11:06
  the first game, but there wasn't a lot of damage
• 11:08
  outside of that out of him, and he had a
• 11:11
  double in the last.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Game as well.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: But honestly, the offense overall of Misissippi State, it was
• 11:16
  just kind of lackluster. They didn't get guys in, they
• 11:18
  weren't able to put guys in scoring position enough to
• 11:20
  put enough pressure on Tennessee. I'd say only two runs
• 11:24
  in the final two games is definitely a letdown out
• 11:26
  of that offense after putting up a five spot and
• 11:28
  losing by one in the first game.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It was definitely.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: It's kind of a brutal weekend for them, I think, honestly,
• 11:34
  but Mississippi State they're a very good program and they'll
• 11:38
  definitely bounce back. An interesting note on them would be
• 11:42
  that their RPI now they dropped down to twenty second
• 11:46
  and they lost three games, and Quad one dropped them
• 11:50
  to six and seven in Quad one games as well. Now,
• 11:53
  so that's a very very interesting notes takeaway.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It is an interesting note to take away. It's almost
• 12:01
  like you took it away from somebody that was gonna
• 12:02
  say it's crazy stuff. The way that that works. Uh, yes, Okay,
• 12:06
  here's the game we're gonna play. We're gonna do a
• 12:07
  quick game time because we need to move on with
• 12:09
  this subject. There's tons of news. We're gonna talk about, Uh,
• 12:12
  let's say one being this is the worst team n
• 12:17
  C DOUAA, ten being Omaha shoe in baby BFL for life.
• 12:22
  Where are we at on Tennessee after this weekend? Specifically,
• 12:25
  we'll start with Jake because I need to hear a
• 12:26
  good one first.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: God Dake, we're at a ten. You know, they're they're
• 12:29
  They're going back to them. I'm kiddingapped I'll tone it
• 12:33
  down a little, but I mean, I mean, this is
• 12:35
  we just talked about all the good things that they did.
• 12:38
  I mean, I have to feel like good going forward
• 12:41
  like we were. I think we were talking about it
• 12:43
  after we got done recording last episode, like just looking
• 12:46
  at the schedule for Tennessee and like, you know what
• 12:48
  they have to do to even like get into the
• 12:49
  tournament at that point, you know. Yeah, but like after
• 12:52
  seeing them be able to go on the road and
• 12:54
  take care of business at Mississippi State, I mean, they've
• 12:56
  definitely set themselves.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Up way better. I mean, I don't know to put
• 13:00
  a number on it. I guess like.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: I'll keep it a little bit level headed and say
• 13:05
  like a seven, But I mean I feel good if
• 13:07
  they can build off with this.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You know, that was my exact number was seven, trying
• 13:12
  to be reasonable. So I'm glad we're in the same boat, Jake, Josh,
• 13:15
  we'll go to you throw some water on this period.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna say like a five, just because I feel
• 13:21
  like that's pretty down the middle. Drew and I talked
• 13:24
  about this before hopping on. When I'm doing my rankings
• 13:28
  for this week, I have Tennessee just outside the top
• 13:31
  twenty five at number thirty one, I think, which I
• 13:34
  think is reasonable. Also from like a postseason bracketology standpoint,
• 13:40
  I don't know exactly. Well, here's a little sneak peek.
• 13:44
  Jake and I will be getting together to work on
• 13:46
  a bracketology for prospects live in the upcoming week. This
• 13:50
  past week, I didn't have Tennessee in the field, nor
• 13:53
  did I have them. I think I had them in
• 13:54
  the first four out. I think they'll sneak back in
• 13:57
  as like a three seed this week. But I think
• 14:01
  that feels good for like my five number. I think
• 14:03
  a three seed in the postseason. No, see, I can't
• 14:06
  put them as like a two right now. Well, we'll
• 14:09
  see who do they play next week? I forget is
• 14:12
  it old?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Next week is gonna be ole Miss, I believe.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, see you take two there and then then
• 14:17
  we'll start talking about two seed and so on and
• 14:19
  so forth.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Uh, JB, where are you at?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Josh is clearly fine? So JV? Where are you at?
• 14:27
  On on the hypometer for Tennessee.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Now I'm a little bit better than Josh. I'll go
• 14:32
  into six and I'll say it's because they improved to
• 14:35
  five and three in quad one, which is great.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Obviously, you know.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: The RPI they go up.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: They are at plus seventeen right now from what they
• 14:43
  were sitting at prior to this weekend, so that's always great.
• 14:46
  The other note that I'll hit on is we talked
• 14:48
  about their next year is being ole Miss. I think
• 14:49
  it's the next two weekends are really really big for them,
• 14:52
  and it's both at home. It's ole Miss who just
• 14:54
  comes off of that sweep, and then Alabama following that,
• 14:56
  who's been hot to start the year. Wouldn't have thought
• 14:59
  that this would be a big series going into the year,
• 15:01
  but it really is now, so kind of I think
• 15:04
  how they come out of these next two weekends, if
• 15:06
  they can at least survive going five hundred ball through
• 15:10
  the next two weekend series, I think that leaves them
• 15:12
  in a solid position if they go four and six,
• 15:15
  winning both series or a sweep in a series loss.
• 15:19
  I think they're still okay in any form of that
• 15:21
  going four and six. But I think that's really the
• 15:24
  key for them is these next two weekends. I'd say
• 15:26
  at least staying five hundred is what they need to do.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I'll even I'll even kind of expand on that and
• 15:32
  say the next three because you've got Kentucky in Lexington
• 15:36
  after that, But then it's it's after that. The next
• 15:39
  weekend is Texas in Knoxville, and that's gonna be I
• 15:45
  mean that that's kind of the point of no return.
• 15:47
  You got to make it to there with a huge
• 15:51
  boost on the resume. But I think it's it's pullossible.
• 15:53
  This could happen. We've talked enough about Tennessee. The uh,
• 15:57
  the haters are never gonna let this one live down.
• 15:59
  We have ten minutes Tennessee. Let's move on to more
• 16:02
  Drew propaganda. Schlosnagel got what he deserved for More on that,
• 16:08
  we're gonna go to mister camp. Josh, tell us about
• 16:11
  what happened. Because A and M a team that you
• 16:13
  have kind of championed for a minute now. Uh, they
• 16:17
  took care of business. I know the bubbles were going nuts.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, first of all, that atmosphere was so
• 16:24
  nuts this weekend. I think, probably best atmosphere I've seen
• 16:27
  of anywhere this year, unless I'm forgetting something. I think
• 16:31
  the series is very indicative of just college sports and
• 16:34
  how some things just make sense. I have a really
• 16:37
  good friend who texted me I sent him or I
• 16:41
  sent him pick him from this past week, and he's
• 16:44
  an ole Miss fan, so I sent him that I
• 16:45
  picked ole Miss finally, like you're welcome. And his response was,
• 16:49
  there's no chance A and M wins that series. A
• 16:51
  and M doesn't beat Texas in anything, And I said,
• 16:54
  this one is different. I promise you there's no way
• 16:57
  they can lose this series, which slow's coming back and
• 17:00
  look where we got to. So, I mean, like it
• 17:03
  was just inevitable. It felt like at this point I
• 17:06
  didn't expect that much of an offensive performance, but it
• 17:09
  is what we got. I mean, like Grohoveac and Sirell
• 17:11
  looked so good this weekend. I mean they both have
• 17:14
  four heads. Grahova had two triples this weekend, one of
• 17:18
  which coming in that like huge outburst yesterday right after
• 17:21
  the rain delay in the first inning, which the fact
• 17:24
  that Texas kept Luke Harrison in for that long is
• 17:27
  baffling to me, but that's a whole different conversation. That
• 17:30
  rain delay was just so weird. But their offensive guys
• 17:34
  performed really starters still didn't look great, but I think
• 17:38
  this wee can kind of prove that the offense might
• 17:40
  be good enough to overcome what that rotation is or
• 17:44
  isn't able to do. And I feel like I've mentioned
• 17:46
  what I'm about to say a million times, but I
• 17:48
  keep referencing how we felt about A and M's offense
• 17:52
  going into last year and how it was seen as
• 17:54
  like the way that we view UCLA's or Georgia Tech's
• 17:58
  right now, and it just never ended up that way.
• 18:01
  But this offense is showing flashes that it really might
• 18:04
  be that this year, Like it's pretty close to it
• 18:06
  at least, And I mean, I don't know, I mean
• 18:10
  like I really don't want to have these overarching like
• 18:14
  huge A and M is the best, second best team
• 18:17
  in the SEC takes, but like if you look at
• 18:19
  the standings, I forget I looked earlier. I think they're
• 18:22
  like second in the SEC right now. Maybe I can
• 18:28
  FactCheck that really quick. The third or their tiede with Texas,
• 18:30
  so I guess they are second. I mean, it's it's
• 18:33
  a team that a lot of people were scared to
• 18:35
  rank in the preseason. We had them at like ten,
• 18:37
  I think, and it's because of what we saw in
• 18:39
  this offense, and it showed this weekend against a team
• 18:41
  that hadn't lost the series all year yet and a
• 18:43
  rotation that was seen as maybe the best in the country.
• 18:46
  And I think Brandon Atalantis didn't get to pitch but
• 18:49
  and then made light work of it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I think I'll actually kind of take the I'll kind
• 18:53
  of wear that actually I kind of doubted a them,
• 18:56
  so honestly, if we had A and M at ten,
• 18:59
  that's only because I dragged it down a little bit.
• 19:02
  I'm gonna I'll wear that I doubted in them for
• 19:05
  honestly way too long. And so yeah, good on us,
• 19:09
  good on the three of you, I guess I should say,
• 19:11
  And good on convincing me. JB. I did want to
• 19:14
  ask you about a gentleman that Josh brought up a
• 19:16
  minute ago, Gavin Grokhovac. I think in my mind this
• 19:20
  weekend he may be the biggest up arrow from a
• 19:23
  series that I wasn't at a big big fan of that.
• 19:27
  And like Josh said, two triples, I think this guy
• 19:30
  agrees with Rain. I'm curious what are your thoughts on
• 19:33
  Grohovic and his big I'll call it a breakout weekend
• 19:36
  for twenty six.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll start off with one comment beforehand. Josh got
• 19:40
  a little bit of credit here when you know on
• 19:43
  being the text say m hype chain. I think I've
• 19:44
  had them the highest out of all of us in
• 19:46
  all of our ranking so far when I just went
• 19:48
  back through it right now.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: So I'll just say that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But you know that's fair. I give you all the
• 19:55
  credit at least half. No, it's just me giving you
• 19:57
  a hard time.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: But he always has to see my thunder and I'm
• 20:03
  the thunder guy.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: This is ridiculous, just saying you know, you're you're giving
• 20:08
  me the lines for myself and you make it too easy, Josh.
• 20:11
  But you know Girhovac played him in high school. He
• 20:16
  was a great player at Villa Park. He originally was
• 20:18
  committed to Arizona State. Fun fact, if anybody didn't know that
• 20:21
  Forks up but ended up at A and m uh
• 20:25
  and it was kind of the breakout weekend for him.
• 20:28
  You know, it's kind of interesting to see him play
• 20:30
  first base now after the injury. That's kind of a
• 20:31
  new thing, and I'm curious to see with the draft stock,
• 20:34
  with us being a draft people, how that affects it,
• 20:37
  what teams think if he moves off in the future.
• 20:39
  I think he can the bats kind of finally getting
• 20:42
  back to what we thought it was after that really
• 20:44
  slow start last year and the injury and then this
• 20:47
  year kind of being up and down at times, but
• 20:49
  now it's looking really consistent. He's starting to show the power,
• 20:52
  kind of more of the athleticism, the twitchiness that we
• 20:55
  saw earlier. So I think it's really a very very
• 20:58
  good sign for Girhovac at this point of the year
• 21:00
  against really really good pitching. The look the way he does.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Jake Comedy, you were going to talk about Texas. What
• 21:07
  do you think the major takeaway for them in terms
• 21:09
  of maybe even specific performances or kind of what what
• 21:12
  didn't work? What do you or Jake? Was it just Hey,
• 21:16
  like Josh said, this atmosphere is just kind of ironically
• 21:20
  the twelfth Man we'll call it that.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think that, I mean, I think that
• 21:25
  did play a factor. I don't want to I don't
• 21:27
  want to think that Texas wasn't like prepared for it,
• 21:29
  because I think they were, like they knew what they
• 21:31
  were going to they knew what they were going into. Uh.
• 21:33
  But like obviously, you know, they've been they've been really
• 21:36
  good on both sides of the ball this year. But like,
• 21:38
  you know, it was the pitching, you know, the in
• 21:41
  particular the starting pitching that was just not what we
• 21:43
  were used to this weekend, like Rioha said, another another
• 21:47
  tough start uh in Game one, and the bullpen you know,
• 21:51
  also didn't shut things down, and the A M offense
• 21:53
  just continued to roll, like we just got done talking about.
• 21:56
  And then on Saturday, like Luke Harrison, you know, he
• 21:59
  didn't even any to get out of the first inning.
• 22:01
  The bullpen, you know, the bullpen was good it you know,
• 22:05
  he only they only allowed UH three the rest of
• 22:08
  the game, which is promising, but that eight run A
• 22:10
  and M first inning was just, you know, way too
• 22:12
  much for Texas to overcome at that point. And then
• 22:16
  but like you know, a positive for Texas, Aiden Robbins
• 22:20
  is just hitting on another planet right now, especially in
• 22:22
  these first two like in these two games of this series, Dude,
• 22:25
  like they had he had two homers, you know, six
• 22:27
  total rbs in those two games, which is you know,
• 22:30
  crazy they didn't get guys on for him in those
• 22:32
  in those four home runs that he hit in those
• 22:35
  two games. But like, you know, they have to feel
• 22:37
  good obviously about Aiden Robbins, but you know, the pitching
• 22:39
  has some has a lot of stuff to clean up.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Imagine Jake, if you will, being on the debut episode
• 22:48
  of a podcast coming in and saying, yeah, Aiden Robbins
• 22:50
  is going to be way better than the rest of
• 22:52
  the country thinks it would be awesome to be two
• 22:54
  really handsome guys from Tennessee that said that it'd be
• 22:58
  really cool. Well, but it'd be really cool if that
• 23:01
  was the case. Moving along, Welcome, So the number two
• 23:07
  unanimous spot for Georgia Tech. Josh, I love that headline,
• 23:10
  one of your many good ones on the format this week,
• 23:14
  and so JB because you did just slammed unko on. Josh,
• 23:18
  I'm gonna give this one to you to talk about. First,
• 23:21
  just the law, make it take it so Georgia Tech
• 23:25
  looked kind of like we thought they would. I think
• 23:28
  the exact quote coming out was when great offense meets
• 23:32
  great pitching? What tends to happen this year? JB walks
• 23:36
  through what happened.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was kind of an offensive explosion for most
• 23:41
  of the time. He had a slight pitchers due on
• 23:42
  Friday night, which was kind of interesting. Mendez and McKee
• 23:46
  they both went at it for a bit and they
• 23:48
  both looked really really good until Abram came in and
• 23:50
  they kind of fell apart from Florida State. But I
• 23:52
  think the biggest first storyline that has to be talked
• 23:55
  about is Chase Williams on the weekend. He had a
• 23:58
  brutal Friday night if anybody's ever seen a brutal Friday night.
• 24:03
  First off, he gets that play where it's late in
• 24:05
  the game and they steal third or they had a
• 24:08
  tag play at third. I forget how it came down.
• 24:10
  It was either steal or throw out, and he sprints
• 24:15
  in from left field and somehow is basically at the
• 24:17
  third base bag and when the play is over and
• 24:21
  he's called safe at third, Williams starts screaming and going ballistic,
• 24:25
  putting his hands up making all these gestures to review
• 24:28
  and going off they review, gets called safe. So now
• 24:32
  the Georgia Tech fans have a gripe with them, you know,
• 24:35
  they decide, well, let's go pick on him. Fast forward
• 24:38
  a bit to the ninth inning. Now, Chase Williams is
• 24:40
  the tying run on third base, come backer to the mound, bobbled,
• 24:45
  looks him back to third, throws to first. Then you
• 24:50
  just decide to take off for whatever reason. I don't
• 24:52
  know why he decided to with second and third and
• 24:54
  two outs now, but he took off for the plate
• 24:57
  and gets absolutely hosed by a mile like nowhere new
• 25:00
  the plane, and that was all he needed for the
• 25:02
  rest of the weekend. Those GT fans let him have it.
• 25:04
  Every single game after that. He did not hear the
• 25:07
  end of it. And it was a brutal weekend for
• 25:10
  Chase Williams. So that's the first thing that had to
• 25:13
  be hit on. But outside of that, it was pretty
• 25:15
  much domination from the GT offense. After that first game,
• 25:19
  they put up eight runs on Saturday, seventeen runs in
• 25:22
  a mercy rule today, seventeen to three, kind of asserting
• 25:25
  the dominance that we thought they'd have.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so we hit the words dominant and
• 25:33
  Georgia Tech offense, and that means Josh catle it needs
• 25:35
  to speak. That's one of his trigger phrases. So, Josh, dude,
• 25:41
  you've been talking about it. This offense has been ridiculous.
• 25:45
  I'm curious, who's the major standout for you across the
• 25:48
  weekend offensively for Georgia Tech. Let me just double clarify that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: I would say it's probably the guy that we thought
• 25:55
  was going to be the offensive standout all year but
• 25:57
  hasn't really but kind of ramped it up this weekend
• 26:00
  and then now he's really here. Is Drew Burris. Drew
• 26:02
  Burs this weekend was six for twelve with a home run,
• 26:05
  four RBI walked three times. I mean, this is what
• 26:08
  we expected from him. Jaron ed Vinkel is probably a
• 26:10
  runner up. He went eight for fourteen cumulatively this weekend.
• 26:14
  I mean, oh, I can't take all the credit for
• 26:16
  being the Georgia Tech offense guy because nationally everyone's kind
• 26:21
  of been on this train since before the season started.
• 26:24
  But I mean, rightfully, so, we as a company, or
• 26:27
  the four of us, were kind of low on Georgia
• 26:29
  Tech to start the year. Because we were skeptical of
• 26:32
  James Ramsey and the pitching staff. But it might not matter.
• 26:36
  Just like I mentioned with A and M, that offense
• 26:38
  is so good that the pitching might not matter. Same
• 26:42
  thing here, although the pitching did look really good for
• 26:44
  Georgia Tech granted, like I'm a huge fan of what
• 26:48
  Ramsey has decided to do on Saturdays or game twos
• 26:51
  for them, with Porter bursam On being the starter and
• 26:53
  then doing a piggyback of Dylan, Lloyd, cad and Gaudett
• 26:56
  in some order. I'm a huge fan of all of
• 27:00
  that because it's such different looks and teams get thrown
• 27:03
  off by it so easily. I saw it in person
• 27:05
  when they played State a couple weekends ago, and I
• 27:07
  fell in love with it. And they keep doing it
• 27:09
  and it keeps working. So for as good as the
• 27:12
  offense has been, if the pitching can you know, allow
• 27:14
  three runs a game against a pretty solid offensive top
• 27:17
  ten team, who knows the highest team can go to.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Great point. I mean, we can assume the Heights because
• 27:24
  they could be the highest heights college baseball Jake, just
• 27:29
  as much as we have to go to Josh for
• 27:32
  Georgia Tech offense, we do have to come to you
• 27:35
  Florida State pitching. I'm curious what is the major takeaway
• 27:38
  for you and any any stock changes for your boys
• 27:42
  Mendez and Beard.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: I mean not necessarily, I mean, like just for Florida
• 27:49
  State kind of as like as a whole. They just
• 27:52
  I just think they can't let this turn into something
• 27:54
  worse than worse than it is. I mean, they go
• 27:56
  into Georgia Tech, they get swept, but like, I don't
• 27:58
  think this is something that is like going to continue
• 28:02
  to happen. Like the pitching, it took some woes this weekend,
• 28:05
  but for the most part, the starters were still like
• 28:08
  decent West Mendez, you know, he went five innings, only
• 28:11
  one run. He didn't get much run support in return.
• 28:16
  Trey Beard, you know, he had a tough third inning
• 28:18
  in his game, but he got out of some jams.
• 28:19
  He allowed ten base runners, but you know, only that
• 28:23
  only amounting to four runs is not necessarily like the
• 28:26
  worst possible outcome. And then Bryson Moore, you know, he
• 28:29
  fought hard and he has only given up two before,
• 28:32
  you know, getting the early hook there. But for Florida State,
• 28:36
  like you know, the bullpen was was not good for them.
• 28:40
  Like the starting pitching, you know, it was a little
• 28:43
  bit down, but when they had to come out of
• 28:44
  the game and had to go to the bullpen, like
• 28:46
  nine innings total on the weekend for the bullpen pitchers
• 28:50
  sixteen runs. Yeah, I mean it's inflated a little bit
• 28:52
  by the Sunday game, but like sixteen runs and nine
• 28:55
  innings of work for the bullpen, like that's obviously just
• 28:58
  just got to be better. And like like I said before,
• 29:01
  you know, I just want to chalk it up as
• 29:02
  like you know, being an off weekend at Georgia Tech.
• 29:06
  I mean, I don't know who's gonna pitch against Georgia
• 29:09
  Tech and be able to slow them down. But like
• 29:10
  seeing those run totals in the for the bullpen is concerned.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: I had one thing to toss in on top of
• 29:22
  that too with Florida State and we go into the
• 29:24
  back half of this year now for them, and they
• 29:26
  are gonna have kind of a more cushy ish half
• 29:30
  of their schedule right now. In acc play, they have
• 29:33
  to play Notre Dame at home this weekend. Who's a
• 29:35
  team that's gained some popularity, but they've kind of struggled recently.
• 29:38
  They go to Stanford, which is a tough trip but
• 29:41
  not a great opponent, and then they play at home
• 29:44
  against pitt right after that, who's kind of gained some
• 29:46
  popularity but really struggled against a bad cal team this
• 29:48
  weekend at home. I think for them, it's kind of
• 29:51
  closing up this back half of the year really strong
• 29:54
  in These next three series are probably the three most
• 29:56
  important right now, especially until they have to play U
• 29:59
  Miami as the last seriously year, I believe, because you
• 30:01
  get to play two teams at home that have kind
• 30:04
  of gained some stock, but also you should dominate that
• 30:07
  you are a much better quality team than those two teams, honestly,
• 30:11
  and then the Stanford trip is just really a tough
• 30:13
  trip logistically, so taking care of business against a bad
• 30:16
  Stanford team, I think it's really key for this FSU
• 30:20
  team to win all three of those series right now,
• 30:22
  to kind of pick back up after the.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Suite, right.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I think you're you're probably right on the money with that, JB.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: It's it's a good opportunity to uh to get right
• 30:32
  for a uh. Let's let's get through some more Kansas,
• 30:37
  just like we all drew it up Kansas? Did JB
• 30:42
  does not like Kansas. I'm sure he'll be back. Uh,
• 30:45
  we say Kansas. He disappears there he is, JB. We
• 30:49
  said Kansas, and you decided.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: To do it.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: I don't know what it is. For some reason, that's
• 30:54
  happened twice now they're randomly. It just it bought me
• 30:56
  out of here. But there you go.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: No worries. Well, then, geez. Kansas takes a commanding two
• 31:02
  game lead on the Big Twelve, just like we all
• 31:05
  expected sweeping number. I think we had them eighteen. U
• 31:09
  see f some some crazy work in Lawrence, Josh? What's
• 31:15
  the take here on Kansas?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Just?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, dude, it's like I said, just like we
• 31:19
  all drew it up top team in the Big twelve?
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Did we Did we lose Drew?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: No?
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: I'm here, did y'all hear?
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: What do you just do?
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: I completely lost Drew. I have no idea what you did?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Oh? Can you guys? You guys can still hear?
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I got you, Drew.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: That was just me. The other two of you were fine,
• 31:40
  like both your connections below me were perfectly fine. I
• 31:42
  just lost Drew.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: This is a bad episode.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Was I don't know what's going on right now?
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Anyways, the technical difficulties just went a in a wall
• 31:53
  right now for some.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Reason, talking about tell me what the talk about it?
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Kansas?
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: You see go all right? Fair enough?
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Story from this weekend. I don't even know if it's
• 32:08
  really I mean, it probably should be. Kansas and they're starting.
• 32:11
  Pitching looked really good across the board this weekend, but
• 32:15
  you see, f and their offense was alarmingly bad. And
• 32:19
  it's a lot of the names that we are used
• 32:22
  to saying to do really good for them just did not.
• 32:24
  Andrew Williamson looked fine, but like John Smith the third
• 32:28
  OH for eleven on the weekend, Jordan Lodiz one for ten.
• 32:31
  It's it's kind of worrisome when you're averaging what I
• 32:34
  guess it would be like two runs a game over
• 32:36
  the course of a weekend. That to be fair, the
• 32:38
  pitching has not looked good for Kansas for a while now,
• 32:41
  like it's been the offense that's been carrying them. But
• 32:45
  matthis narrow. Don Vogelly like Vogel Voguely, I've never learned
• 32:49
  how to pronounce that the right way. Mason Cook looked
• 32:51
  really good in Game three six innings, pitch one e
• 32:56
  run on three hits, six strikeouts, like at Dominic, Vogeling
• 33:00
  went seven innings only allowing three runs. Really good from him,
• 33:03
  and he's kind of struggled more than we expected this year,
• 33:06
  so it was just kind of like a role reversal
• 33:09
  of what you would have expected. Now. Granted, UCF still
• 33:12
  didn't have Branden Smith this week, but like Camden Wicker
• 33:17
  just looked terrible in his outing. They got saucer back
• 33:20
  or salsurback. I gotta learn how to pronounce these names.
• 33:24
  I feel I never had I have them on like
• 33:25
  my third TV, and I never hear the broadcast talking
• 33:27
  about it, so I never figure out these names, so
• 33:30
  many confusing ones. But regardless, I don't know. This series
• 33:33
  just didn't make a lot of sense this weekend. And
• 33:35
  Kansas coming into the year, I thought could be like
• 33:38
  eighth ninth, the best team of the Big twelve, and
• 33:39
  I thought the same exact thing about UCF, and so
• 33:42
  the fact that these two were jockeying for the number
• 33:44
  one spot midway through the year was just so weird.
• 33:47
  And I don't know if it's gonna end up that way,
• 33:49
  But there's a cluster of like four Big twelve teams
• 33:51
  in my rankings that I don't know what to do
• 33:53
  with and I don't know how it's gonna turn out,
• 33:55
  but it's weird right now.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, well, I'm glad you brought it up because that
• 34:01
  brings us to game time. Josh, Rather, where does Kansas
• 34:05
  sit in your mind amongst the Big twelve teams right now?
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Let's see my rankings right now for the week. I
• 34:12
  have them at number one, just by default because they
• 34:16
  do have a two game lead on the conference. But
• 34:19
  like sneak peek my rankings right now, I literally have
• 34:22
  Kansas twenty, Arizona State twenty one, UCF twenty three, West
• 34:27
  Virginia twenty four. It's so it's I probably should have
• 34:31
  West Virginia higher than that, to be honest, but just
• 34:33
  so many head to head things make it funky. I
• 34:37
  don't know what to do with any of them at
• 34:39
  this point. It's strange, and I guess we'll find out
• 34:41
  down the stretch.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: But I understand Jake's same question coming to you, man,
• 34:47
  in terms of the Big twelve, where do you have
• 34:49
  Kansas right now? If you have to power rank these
• 34:51
  teams based on what you know that's fine.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: I mean pro I mean, I don't know, I'm similar
• 35:00
  similar to Josh. I mean, it's hard to not have
• 35:02
  them right at the top. I mean they look like
• 35:06
  I mean, recently they look like the best team. But
• 35:08
  like I also still have a kind of a soft
• 35:11
  spot for Arizona State, Like I think they're right there
• 35:15
  with them. I just really really like the Arizona State
• 35:19
  offense in particular. I think they can, Like you know,
• 35:23
  I think they they last more, they last longer throughout
• 35:26
  the year. I envision them hitting better like throughout the
• 35:29
  year compared to what Kansas is is gonna probably do
• 35:33
  at the end of the season. But like you know,
• 35:34
  I'm not I can't take anything away from Kansas at all.
• 35:36
  I I do have them at second I think probably
• 35:39
  right behind Arizona State.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: All right, interesting, JB, same question to you. Where have
• 35:43
  you got Kansas in the mix of Big twelve in year?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Brain?
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: My personal opinion on where they are as a quality
• 35:50
  of a team versus where I think they finish is different.
• 35:53
  I think I have them third in quality of team
• 35:56
  in the conference, probably third or fourth, and then probably
• 35:59
  I think they finish. Honestly, I think they have a
• 36:02
  chance to finish first because if you look at the
• 36:04
  back of their schedule right now, who they're gonna have
• 36:06
  to play, it's pretty weak. Outside of having to play
• 36:09
  West Virginia at home, it's a very very light Big
• 36:12
  Twelve finish for them with Oklahoma State, Arizona and.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: Byus the other team.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: So I think there's a real easy path for them
• 36:18
  to win the Big Twelve right there in the regular
• 36:20
  season at least.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. It sure could be a bit
• 36:25
  of a jaunt, like you said, with the exception of
• 36:28
  one particular weekend, Jake, want to go to you, Josh
• 36:32
  again drilled this one out of the park. Arkansas is
• 36:36
  the most confusing team in America. We could probably leave
• 36:39
  it at that, but we will not. Bama drops their
• 36:42
  first series in a month. So Jake, I'm gonna let
• 36:45
  you choose. Do we want to talk about Arkansas's bats
• 36:48
  coming alive or Alabama dropping their first series in a month?
• 36:51
  You can choose.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: I'll talk about Alabama losing. That sounds like a good
• 36:58
  good thing for me to talk about, Like I don't know,
• 37:00
  like you know, not only did they lose, you know,
• 37:05
  their first series in a month, and they lost it
• 37:07
  to an Arkansas team who had just lost six of
• 37:10
  their last seven SEC games, but they got swept at home,
• 37:15
  which is just a weird This was this was a
• 37:17
  weird thing that I don't think anybody saw coming. Like
• 37:20
  we didn't we intentionally, you know, didn't put this one
• 37:22
  on the picks last weekend because I'm pretty sure we.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Were all going to pick Alabama to win it, and we.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Didn't want to talk about it because we only thought
• 37:29
  it was just gonna be a sweep.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: And it went the complete other way around.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Like Alabama, they were eighteen and one and at home
• 37:37
  this season, coming in to this weekend, and then you
• 37:41
  know this, this happened, Like I don't know, this was
• 37:43
  This was weird, This was unexpected. But you know, I'm
• 37:49
  fine with talking about Alabama losing.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: It's always good to talk about Alabama taking a loss,
• 37:56
  for sure. JB gonna go to you to talk about
• 37:58
  Arkansas's bats. Then, I'm curious, what do you make of
• 38:03
  this being kind of I guess everybody decided, hey, we
• 38:06
  want to show up. Maybe we got to bring our
• 38:08
  bats today.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's completely opposite what we thought of Arkansas for
• 38:13
  the past few weekends. Now Arkansas has clearly just not
• 38:17
  been there. The offense has been almost non existent besides
• 38:21
  the game against Auburn that we talked about and you
• 38:24
  know before, it's honestly great to see that, you see
• 38:28
  the signs of life there. Arkansas is a team that
• 38:31
  a lot of us really love to start the year,
• 38:33
  and I think all of us had him in the
• 38:34
  top five for a while, for a very long time.
• 38:37
  We gave them a lot of benefit of the doubt,
• 38:38
  and now obviously we've dropped them down quite heavily since
• 38:42
  they've had a lot of issues and a lot of
• 38:44
  struggles in SEC play. But now it's great to see
• 38:46
  Arkansas back and scoring exactly how we thought this offense
• 38:50
  should play out. Not great, but you know, good enough.
• 38:53
  And this weekend they looked even better than that. Fifteen runs,
• 38:57
  seven runs, I mean, and three in the last is
• 39:00
  more probably what we expect, but I mean, that's a
• 39:02
  great weekend for this Arkansas offense. It's struggled really badly
• 39:04
  so far.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely have Uh, mister Pixel's in the top
• 39:10
  right corner. I'm curious, do you have any thoughts about
• 39:14
  a team in Alabama maybe dropping a series? But that's
• 39:17
  three losses.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: What do you think I do? But first of all,
• 39:21
  if my WiFi is terrible the rest of this episode,
• 39:24
  I'm sorry and there's nothing I can do about it. Yeah,
• 39:28
  I have thoughts it. The offense looked rough for sure,
• 39:32
  and like usually in the past we've been talking about
• 39:35
  how surprisingly Justin Lebron hasn't looked all I mean, hasn't
• 39:39
  looked great. He looked alright this weekend. But it was
• 39:42
  the other names that had been stepping up around him
• 39:45
  that kind of came back to earth a little bit.
• 39:47
  Bryce Fowler went two for twelve on the weekend. Jason
• 39:49
  Torrez went one for twelve with five k's John Lim
• 39:53
  went over seven on the weekend. Those are the guys,
• 39:55
  like almost I would say, the three main guys that
• 39:58
  have really stepped up this year, and they just worked
• 40:00
  this weekend. And like the starters looked all right, like
• 40:05
  Tyler Fay looked all right, Zane Adams looked okay, Up
• 40:08
  Church look good today. I'll give him that. But like
• 40:10
  Sam Mitchell, Alsin Morris got murdered on Saturday, that game
• 40:15
  was over anyway. It was a route, but the bullpen
• 40:18
  looked kind of spotty. The offense looked more spotty than
• 40:21
  we expected. Personally, I'm not complaining. I just don't know
• 40:25
  what to do with this team as a whole. Like,
• 40:27
  I have no idea what to do with them in
• 40:29
  terms of ranking, in terms of bracketology stuff. No idea. Also,
• 40:33
  tell me did I cut out there a couple of times?
• 40:36
  I have no idea. I can't tell you.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: You didn't cut out, you did do like a freeze
• 40:41
  of time or two. But it just looked really cool.
• 40:43
  It looked like you were kind of like, yeah, everybody
• 40:47
  at home could absolutely hear the point you were making.
• 40:49
  That's important.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, We're good.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: That's the important thing, all right, cool? Uh Josh, We
• 40:55
  will stick with you. Then, to talk about another interesting
• 40:58
  SEC series, Georgia drops their first SEC series after tying
• 41:04
  it all up. Florida also again we've said it all year,
• 41:08
  Doctor Florida and mister Gators wearing their tooth filled head again.
• 41:13
  What do you make of this series?
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Pal if Arkansas is the most confusing team in America,
• 41:19
  Florida is number two. I mean, I really look from
• 41:23
  a personal standpoint, if Florida's gonna go up and down
• 41:27
  every week? Auburn goes to Gainesville next week, so I
• 41:30
  like my chances on that front. I mean, I think
• 41:34
  the big story from this weekend, if we're being honest,
• 41:36
  was probably the shocking results we saw from Georgia's offense
• 41:40
  in certain places, because that's another one that you know,
• 41:43
  was right in the UCLA Georgia Tech range in terms
• 41:47
  of best offenses in the country, and just some guys
• 41:49
  didn't perform and their losses. Daniel Jackson went one for
• 41:52
  nine with two strikeouts. Michael O'Shaughnessy went one for five
• 41:55
  and two strikeouts, two of their biggest performers. O'Shaughnessy hasn't
• 41:59
  played as much, but when he steps in, he really performs.
• 42:03
  Matt Scott they were experimenting a little bit today, like
• 42:06
  trying to see if he could become that third starter
• 42:09
  really and he pitched one in the third and allowed
• 42:11
  five runs. So I don't really know if that's gonna stick. Florida.
• 42:16
  It's hard to talk about them because it is so
• 42:19
  it's so volatile week to week, game to game. Liam
• 42:23
  Peterson had the outing this time where you know, how
• 42:25
  I've said that he scores like or he allows like
• 42:28
  zero or one, earn runs in a game, or he
• 42:30
  allows like six plus they just happen to get the
• 42:33
  one earned run in seven innings this time, so fingers crossed.
• 42:37
  Against Auburn next week, he allows six. So that's all
• 42:40
  I can say on that front. Also shout out Aiden
• 42:42
  King because he might be SEC pitcher of the year
• 42:44
  to this point. Just he had a perfect game going
• 42:46
  into the seventh inning. Just gotta throw that out there.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: He did look exceptional. Yes, Jake gonna come to you next,
• 42:53
  gonna talk about how, like Josh said, George's bats in
• 42:58
  a weird kind of play. I think I think they
• 43:00
  could probably pin this loss on you know, they didn't
• 43:04
  show up when they needed them to write.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, they didn't. They didn't show up when
• 43:09
  they need them to.
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: Like in that in that first game, they only had
• 43:13
  you know, three hits in the game. Obviously, Josh just
• 43:17
  mentioned how how crazy Aidan King was pitching. So I'll
• 43:20
  tip my cat more to Aidan King than the fact
• 43:22
  that the bats were slow for Georgia. But I mean
• 43:24
  that's something that you can't really ignore that, uh, you know,
• 43:27
  there was three hits. Ryan Black had a triple. But
• 43:30
  other than that, like that was there was there was
• 43:33
  like next to no offense in that first game, and
• 43:34
  then in the in the second game, like you know,
• 43:39
  they came back and had twelve hits. Like it was
• 43:41
  just it was just kind of flip flop game games
• 43:44
  one and two on both sides. Like they they they
• 43:48
  found a little bit more like a little bit more
• 43:51
  extra base as they had a couple of doubles. But
• 43:53
  like the inconsistencies is what looked just kind of weird
• 43:57
  for for Georgia this weekend. It's something that we were
• 44:00
  aren't really used to seeing, Like we're used to them
• 44:02
  going in and you know, hitting the ball around and
• 44:05
  you know, relying on their bets to score and win
• 44:08
  them games and everything. In this weekend, it just didn't.
• 44:10
  I think it kind of just shows that, you know,
• 44:12
  this weekend they were you know, they were ten and
• 44:14
  two an SEC play coming into it. They dropped one
• 44:17
  to Florida when it was obviously Florida's turn to win
• 44:21
  without the season's gone for them.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: But uh, I think.
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: It just kind of shows that George is human more
• 44:25
  than anything. I think they're going to be okay.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And that they can take turns. It's a good skill
• 44:31
  for any Toddler to learn good stuff.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: JB.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you you mentioned a minute ago.
• 44:36
  We are draft guys. We have to be concerned with
• 44:39
  drafts and draft stocks and those sorts of things on
• 44:42
  with our jobs for Prospects Live and with this show.
• 44:45
  I'm curious of these two teams, Georgia and Florida, if
• 44:48
  any one player most improved their draft stock for twenty
• 44:53
  twenty six to you this weekend, who would it be.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: It's very tough.
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: I think there's a two pitching matchups that really like
• 45:02
  stood out, or to two pitching appearances that stood out,
• 45:06
  the obvious being Leam Peterson in that second game. You know,
• 45:09
  I think everybody love to see him go out there
• 45:11
  and throw seven innings, eight hits, limit the damage though
• 45:15
  one ear and run, you know, only four strikeouts, the
• 45:17
  other one probably being Joey Volshko, you know, another strong
• 45:20
  start from him, six innings, two hits, one run, none
• 45:23
  earned seven punchouts for him. He's a guy that we
• 45:27
  haven't talked about a ton. I guess on the show,
• 45:29
  I'd say, and he's a guy that had a lot
• 45:31
  of helium going in early and I feel like it's
• 45:33
  kind of faded. A little bit now going into the season,
• 45:37
  He'll be a curious experiment, experiment as to what happens
• 45:41
  with him. He's a year plus after his draft eligibility,
• 45:44
  so you know, does that affect his stock? Does that
• 45:47
  push him down a little bit from you know where
• 45:49
  people maybe thought that he goes? But I think those
• 45:52
  are definitely the two biggest winners of the weekend probably
• 45:54
  draft stockwise.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Or I can get back in that for SURESH want
• 46:00
  to come back to you for this one. Oregon picks
• 46:03
  up a big, big ten win over Nebraska. Uh give
• 46:08
  me maybe, give me maybe a couple of minutes on
• 46:11
  what you think about Oregon. Have they answered any of
• 46:14
  the questions that I think we all shared about them
• 46:17
  coming into this weekend.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: I'd say today cleared up some, uh some questions we
• 46:22
  had about them. I guess this weekend as a whole.
• 46:26
  I actually got to watch like a good amount of
• 46:28
  this game today that I was looking I was looking
• 46:30
  forward to that because I haven't admittedly gotten to see
• 46:33
  as much Nebraska and Oregon as i'd like this year.
• 46:36
  It was a fun game. Cooper Katski looked really good
• 46:38
  until the sixth Today. Shout out Angel Laya. He looked
• 46:41
  phenomenal that I had two home runs to two for three.
• 46:45
  He looked really really good today. As a whole, I
• 46:47
  would say the Oregon offense showing up was really comforting,
• 46:52
  especially after last weekend against Michigan. And it wasn't anyone
• 46:55
  in particular that really really came through for the entire weekend.
• 46:59
  It was just kind of little by little, timely hitting
• 47:02
  that kind of thing. I don't think madx Maloney had
• 47:05
  more than one hit in any game, but like the hit,
• 47:08
  like the hits for him and other primary factors for
• 47:11
  that team, like Drew Smith came at really important times,
• 47:14
  and it was really comforting to see Nebraska. I don't
• 47:17
  really know what to make of them at this point
• 47:20
  because it was a road series, and I still think
• 47:22
  they're like a top twenty ish team right now because
• 47:24
  the resume speaks for itself. But you know, the pitching
• 47:28
  was a little concerning at times. Carson Yasa didn't look great,
• 47:31
  which is, you know, sad to see for me because
• 47:33
  I'm rooting for that guy. I think I think I
• 47:35
  like his stuff at the next level. I know JB
• 47:37
  does too. I think that that's someone that if they're
• 47:43
  gonna make any kind of postseason run, he and ty
• 47:45
  Horn have to be a little more consistent. But as
• 47:48
  a whole, I think Oregon kind of asserted themselves back
• 47:51
  as there shouldn't have been question of Mark spot who
• 47:54
  is the third best team of the Big ten. It's
• 47:56
  clearly US if we're not number two, because I mean, hey,
• 48:00
  USC still has no quad one. I'm just throwing that
• 48:04
  out there. Oregon still could be number two in this conference.
• 48:06
  I wouldn't let out just yet.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Interesting, We'll have to give that one some more thought
• 48:12
  going to the midweekend, certainly into next weekend as well.
• 48:14
  But that's interesting to bring up.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: JB.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you about the University of North Carolina
• 48:21
  took their second There are now second established in the
• 48:26
  ACC after a big win on Saturday. Curious, what are
• 48:30
  your thoughts about your tar Heels. What was the look
• 48:34
  this weekend? What's your major takeaway?
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was just really gritty. I think
• 48:39
  overall on the weekend, I guess one takeaway if you're
• 48:43
  gonna go in any negative direction to get it out
• 48:46
  of the way, first would be struggles with runners in
• 48:48
  scoring positions, specifically the bases loaded the bases loaded this weekend,
• 48:52
  we struggled to cash and really really really badly. But
• 48:56
  outside of that, you know, it is a well played weekend.
• 48:58
  Outside of that Friday game, honestly, a lot of just
• 49:02
  great pitching. McDuffie, Glober both did incredible on the weekend
• 49:07
  for US. Definitely carried part of that series, and the
• 49:10
  offense when it was needed most kind of showed up
• 49:12
  lay games. They were there and put together a couple
• 49:15
  of nice games, especially today kind of in blowout fashion,
• 49:18
  they put some together, So.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: It was definitely good to see.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: I think it was a good bounce back after that
• 49:23
  Friday game and something we've seen now twice with losing
• 49:26
  a Friday game and then bouncing back and winning the
• 49:28
  next two, which is definitely something you love to see
• 49:30
  before going into postseason play, playing well with your back
• 49:33
  against the wall. So yeah, I think it's just a
• 49:36
  good sign for this North Carolina team compared to a
• 49:38
  lot of other teams this weekend that we saw kind
• 49:40
  of go in the opposite direction.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Definitely. The resilience that you're kind of talking about is
• 49:45
  something that you love in a team, especially, like you said,
• 49:47
  a team who is aiming for nothing less than the postseason,
• 49:50
  and a deep postseason run more likely than not. So yes,
• 49:54
  I'm with you. The resilience is kind of a huge
• 49:56
  thing for that.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Jake.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: We talked about one team that played fourteen INNX, how
• 50:02
  about another? What if we talked about what if we
• 50:06
  went to New Jersey A. What if we talked about
• 50:08
  UCLA visiting your neck of the woods, Jake, and you
• 50:11
  got to see them today? I believe, if I'm not mistaking,
• 50:15
  I know Quinn, it's got some peace coming out. He
• 50:18
  got to see UCLA and Rutgers on Saturday. You got
• 50:20
  to see them on Sunday. I'm curious to hear what
• 50:23
  your thoughts were they extend the Big win Street to
• 50:26
  twenty seven in a row. What was your thoughts on Ucla?
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean Ucla. They're thirty three and two.
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: They haven't lost a game since February twenty fourth, Like
• 50:38
  this is this is this is crazy. But you know
• 50:41
  you mentioned it game one. You know, it went fourteen innings,
• 50:45
  you know, and it took like a babble on a
• 50:47
  basis loaded ground ball and a third and like a
• 50:49
  bang bang play at the plate to get for them
• 50:53
  to just scratch a run across in the fourteenth inning.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: But before I get yeah yeah, and then.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: Or the UCLA pitching in that game, Logan redimend was
• 51:05
  it was inside.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't.
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: I don't even know what kind of words you can
• 51:08
  use to describe how he pitched in that game. Eighteen strikeouts,
• 51:11
  which I'm pretty sure I read or heard or something,
• 51:14
  is the UCLA you know record, I don't know where
• 51:17
  that you know what that puts like, I don't. I
• 51:19
  don't know how many eighteen struck out games we've seen
• 51:21
  out of a college pitcher in the last you know,
• 51:23
  however many years. But like crazy performance from Logan Redomend.
• 51:27
  And then you know, the bullpen came in when he
• 51:30
  got done. I think he went eight innings in that one.
• 51:32
  He came the bullpen came in twelve more strikeouts. Rutgers
• 51:35
  struck out thirty times in the fourteen inning game, and
• 51:39
  I would assume that's also some kind of record, but
• 51:41
  you know, nonetheless, that's that's just so crazy.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: And then the.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: Rest of the series was just kind of kind of
• 51:47
  all UCLA. But weirdly enough, like right, Schlawski was was
• 51:50
  just two for twelve on the weekend, which was a
• 51:54
  little bit disappointing for me since I was getting to
• 51:56
  see him in person there, but but yeah, it was
• 51:59
  kind of weird, but you know, the rest of the
• 52:00
  team picked them up. You know, four different guys hit
• 52:02
  home runs. The pitching with you know, Michael Barnett, Landing Stump,
• 52:07
  who I saw the damn person which I was really
• 52:09
  impressed by what I saw from from land and Stump.
• 52:12
  Uh him and Barnett was was also really good. The
• 52:15
  bullpen was basically flawless in those last two games. And
• 52:19
  then just the biggest takeaway that I took from him though,
• 52:21
  was like this UCLA team just knows, just knows how
• 52:24
  to hit.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: I saw like I got to see them hit top
• 52:27
  to bottom, Like they saw a lot of pitches early on.
• 52:29
  They weren't chasing pitches, they were fouling some tough ones
• 52:32
  off you know, they forced Rutgers to get to their
• 52:35
  bullpen early, and you know, they took some advantage of
• 52:38
  like some some defensive mistakes from the Rutgers side, and
• 52:42
  they just like, you know, they grinded at bats and
• 52:43
  they just made it look easy on offense. And I
• 52:46
  assume that's what they've been doing all year. That's the
• 52:48
  first close look that I've that I've gotten at them
• 52:50
  and that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: On that aspect.
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: But like you know this, you know UCLA, they're really
• 52:54
  good and I wouldn't hate to have to try to
• 52:56
  game plan against them.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, it is like they're playing on a
• 53:02
  different difficulty sometimes, right, Like they've got the they've got
• 53:06
  the slider sets easy, and everybody else is on like
• 53:08
  medium or are So somebody's a little no, somebody needs
• 53:12
  a little know, there's some chicanery going on for sure.
• 53:15
  All right, let's turn our attention, guys to the midweek because,
• 53:18
  like we said, tons of stuff to talk about from
• 53:20
  the weekend. It was a huge weekend, uh for college baseball,
• 53:24
  for a lot of big fandoms, but some big stuff
• 53:28
  coming in the midweek. Josh, do you want to start
• 53:31
  with you what midweek game are you looking at and why?
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: I think there's one on the West coast that is
• 53:38
  super impactful from like a very broad from the standpoint
• 53:42
  of the sport. Oregon and Oregon State are playing their
• 53:45
  second game of the year. It's at a neutral site.
• 53:49
  I know we've talked all year about how quote unquote
• 53:52
  midweeks don't matter about what we wanted to like think
• 53:54
  about teams, but we're at the point of the year.
• 53:57
  We're from a RPI standpoint, from a postseason and seeding standpoint,
• 54:01
  some games really do matter, and this matter is a
• 54:04
  ton for Oregon State. These two games they have left
• 54:06
  against Oregon are huge for them because these games and
• 54:11
  maybe when they play at Portland, depending on how Portland
• 54:14
  finishes out, those are their only opportunities for Quad one
• 54:17
  games the entire rest of the season. And you can
• 54:20
  bile up all these wins against bad teams all you want,
• 54:22
  but when you're playing an independent schedule like them, and
• 54:25
  you're trying to be a you know, a host or
• 54:27
  even like a national seed, but just what they think
• 54:29
  they'll be, you need to win these Quad one games desperately.
• 54:32
  And I know it means more to them because it's
• 54:34
  a rival too, but like they really have to start
• 54:37
  to string some things together. They usually put Noah Scott
• 54:40
  in early in these midweek games and it's kind of
• 54:43
  like a bullpen game after that, so we don't really
• 54:45
  know from a pitching perspective how it's gonna look. But
• 54:48
  they have lost their last two midweeks. They dropped one
• 54:50
  to Washington State last week and Washington in dominant fashion
• 54:54
  the week before, so I don't know if it's a
• 54:56
  recurring thing. We've seen them beat usc in the midweek
• 54:59
  and or them before, so we know they can't do it.
• 55:01
  It's just a matter of which midweek Oregon State team
• 55:04
  we get, and they need it desperately, like their fans
• 55:07
  will tell you this. Anyone who keeps up with RPI whatever,
• 55:11
  look at the predicted RPIs whatever it may be. They
• 55:13
  need this one bad.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very well, said Jake. Where are you going across
• 55:20
  the wild, wild United States of America. I'm curious what
• 55:25
  midweek game you're looking at as being very important.
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna stay out west and stick with
• 55:32
  a team that I just finished talking about. UCLA is
• 55:35
  playing you see Santa Barbara this weekend. As far as
• 55:40
  things to watch in this game, Angel Servantes has been
• 55:44
  pitching mid weeks all year for UCLA. Assume he's gonna
• 55:47
  continue that. His last one that he pitched against Fullerton,
• 55:52
  he reached a looks like a season high on pitches.
• 55:55
  He went fifty pitches in that game, So it'll be
• 55:57
  interesting to see kind of how long they let him go.
• 56:00
  He hasn't gone more than three innings in a start,
• 56:02
  but I don't know if they're trying to get him
• 56:05
  some more work or what. But it'll be fun to
• 56:07
  watch him go up against this Santa Barbara offense, who
• 56:11
  you know, we've talked about them in the past and
• 56:13
  not much has really changed since the last time we
• 56:16
  talked about him. Ron Kelly, Corey Nuniez, Jonathan Mendez. Those
• 56:21
  guys are kind they're they're kind of the offense right now,
• 56:23
  they're only hitting two sixty nine as a team, twenty
• 56:28
  four homers on the season. Like, I'm looking forward to
• 56:31
  seeing Servantes go up against this offense and see kind
• 56:35
  of how long UCLA lets him go in that one.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: It will be interesting. I think that it's it's going
• 56:41
  to be certainly compelling. I'm looking forward to that as well. JB.
• 56:45
  Both Josh and Jake have taken West Coast games. Are
• 56:48
  you going to keep the streak rolling or what are
• 56:50
  you thinking here? Midweek?
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: You're looking forward to No, sadly, I'm going to be
• 56:54
  in the New State and it's gonna be NC State
• 56:56
  versus ECU, which is actually a pretty big matchup this
• 56:59
  week was some kind of big implications there, especially for
• 57:02
  the wolf Pack. The wolf Pack now have fallen down
• 57:05
  to sixty first in RPI and ECU is thirty six currently,
• 57:10
  which makes this a Quad one game for NC State
• 57:13
  on the road in a midweek, which will be big
• 57:15
  for them. They need some of those quad one wins
• 57:17
  right now. So NC State it's usually been a traditional
• 57:21
  bullpen game for them. Wouldn't be shocked if maybe they
• 57:24
  decide to kind of stick somebody out there in this
• 57:27
  game as the go ahead and try to go five
• 57:30
  innings for us, But traditionally it's been a bullpen game
• 57:33
  for ECU. On the other hand, it's been Ryan Towers
• 57:36
  the last two times, and you went five and two thirds,
• 57:38
  not giving up a run against Duke, no earned runs
• 57:41
  at least against Duke last time in an eight to
• 57:43
  six w for ECU in the midweek. So ECU is
• 57:46
  always a tough place to go play, especially with State
• 57:49
  being there is something going to be packed out. I
• 57:51
  think it's definitely kind of a at this point there
• 57:54
  probably must win midweek right now for NCA State to
• 57:57
  try to gain some positioning right now, try to put
• 58:00
  themselves in place to try to make a playoff. I
• 58:05
  think the wolf Pack are a really good team. Honestly,
• 58:07
  I think they've played worse than what they really are
• 58:10
  and the dude and injury really sucks. So I think
• 58:13
  this begins gonna be a big one for them, but
• 58:14
  also for ECU. It's another big test for them also
• 58:17
  to prove that they're legit.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I'm curious how they will do on that test. It's
• 58:23
  gonna be an interesting one for a team that plays
• 58:26
  just good, hard nosed baseball. And he's curious to see
• 58:30
  what they do there. And of course Jacob dude, and
• 58:32
  we want to send prayers and well wishes to him.
• 58:35
  It's terrible news. I'm gonna go to Middle America and
• 58:40
  talk about Oklahoma State. Oklahoma. Name a team that needs
• 58:45
  a big win more than Oklahoma State, and surprisingly, if
• 58:50
  you could think of another one, why does that answer Oklahoma?
• 58:52
  I mean these two teams, I mean, the rivalry is
• 58:56
  is deep and wide, and it's say, it's a thorough thing.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have the time left in the show to
• 59:02
  talk to you about. What I will say is that
• 59:04
  last week in the Midweek, Michael Catalano for Oklahoma really,
• 59:08
  really shoved. That's quality start for him. It was six
• 59:11
  innings pitched with five strikeouts, four hits to his name.
• 59:15
  Really really worked in that game. I do think the
• 59:18
  Oklahoma's bats they could stand to show up in a
• 59:22
  in a more How do how do I say this? Guys?
• 59:27
  I think Oklahoma's bats have been disappointing me lately, but
• 59:30
  they have looked good on the on the whole this series,
• 59:35
  Uh preparation age if you will. Oklahoma State, on the
• 59:38
  other hand, bad bad, not not great. Just they can't
• 59:46
  buy a win lately. Is this the cure for what
• 59:49
  ails them? Maybe you put them up in a in
• 59:51
  a major rivalry game midweek. They get there and they
• 59:54
  get theirselves right, so we'll see what happens. I know
• 59:57
  I'm gonna be paying paying attention to that one in Oklahoma,
• 1:00:01
  but that's going to do for this episode. Guys. Do

• 1:00:53
  got some content that we're going to be working on.
• 1:00:55
  I want to disclose it. I'll leave it to Drew
• 1:00:57
  to talk about. But we got some new stuff coming
• 1:00:59
  out that you're probably gonna want to subscribe to Prospects
• 1:01:02
  Live for. So yeah, that's what we got going on.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Give them one spoiler, JB. Well, since you're listening, we'll
• 1:01:08
  give you one spoiler.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: JB.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: You can pick which one.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: I'll give them a little spoiler on the fact that
• 1:01:12
  we're going to update a list that we haven't updated
• 1:01:15
  since January. If we talked about that earlier. So that'll
• 1:01:18
  be a big one too, A nice, spicy one.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: A list that anybody listening to this show will probably
• 1:01:24
  really enjoy. How about that they love that? Yeah, I
• 1:01:28
  think they would. Jake, where can the people find you?
• 1:01:30
  In between our episodes? What are you working on? Dog?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: You can follow me on Twitter at Jake Barge. It's
• 1:01:39
  kind of the same stuff going on over there. The
• 1:01:41
  mid major rankings, which I don't know. I don't know
• 1:01:43
  what's going to happen with those this weekend, but I
• 1:01:47
  will try my best to come up with something for
• 1:01:50
  that and get those out either a day or tomorrow
• 1:01:52
  or something like that. Also going to be figuring out
• 1:01:57
  what I'm going to write about the UCLA Rutgers game.
• 1:02:00
  I also saw Rutgers play Michigan a couple weeks ago.
• 1:02:02
  I'll probably include some stuff with that one, and then
• 1:02:05
  I guess, since I think we did mention it earlier
• 1:02:08
  as well.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: Me and Josh are gonna be working on a.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 7: Practology for either for the site or just for Twitter
• 1:02:14
  or something. I don't know where it's gonna go quite yet,
• 1:02:16
  but we are going to be working on that, and
• 1:02:18
  I'm super excited about that.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I'm too. I am very excited to see what you
• 1:02:23
  two come up with. Miss Catlett. We've gotten you out
• 1:02:27
  of here. Just shade over an hour. Bedtime is calling.
• 1:02:30
  But before you give into its sweet siren song, where
• 1:02:33
  can the folks find you? Between our episodes and what
• 1:02:35
  are you working on?
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: You can follow me on x at Josh Catlet three
• 1:02:40
  the same thing as Jake just said. The big thing
• 1:02:43
  is this week yet. Jake and I'll be collabing on
• 1:02:46
  bracketology for the first time, putting it out for the company.
• 1:02:50
  I've got my personal top twenty five rankings. It'll be
• 1:02:52
  out by the time this is released. That I still
• 1:02:55
  have to put the finishing touches on because there's a
• 1:02:58
  couple clusters of teams I don't know what to do with,
• 1:03:01
  as well as our rankings as a whole. The four
• 1:03:03
  of us, though, should be out. I'm curious to see
• 1:03:05
  where all of us are considering. There's so many different
• 1:03:09
  ways you can go with this this week, so that'll
• 1:03:11
  be fun. Yeah, I can think of one more content
• 1:03:14
  piece that we're probably gonna put out soon, but I'll
• 1:03:17
  leave Drew to talk about that if he wants to
• 1:03:19
  actually two pieces, Yeah, we get so that's your way
• 1:03:22
  of that's your sneak peak way of saying, we've got
• 1:03:25
  a lot coming.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: We do have a lot. Why didn't you give them
• 1:03:29
  just another hand? If Lord, these people are getting spoiled here,
• 1:03:32
  but you can give them another hit for one of
• 1:03:33
  those pieces of.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: Since I think we will have our second or I
• 1:03:40
  get get the two point zero version of a mock
• 1:03:42
  draft from the whole company coming out relatively soon the
• 1:03:47
  next week or two probably. We still talk about the
• 1:03:49
  logistics of all that, but we should get that out soon.
• 1:03:52
  It's long overdue. So I'm excited to get that out
• 1:03:54
  and excited to collap some people on that figure out
• 1:03:57
  where everyone's at they're at.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun, definitely, And thank
• 1:04:01

• 1:04:15
  see a weekend series at Duty noble Field I'd love
• 1:04:19
  to write about, so we'll probably do that for sure,
• 1:04:23
