  Speaker 2: in the chat that really made me laugh. Brackston, you're
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: not gonna know what this is because you're twelve years old.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But Nookie says, Braxton comes from the family who created
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the Braxton Hicks contractions.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious. I don't know if either of you know
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: what that is.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: So a girl, I know what Braxton Hicks are.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: How effed up is it that it's named after a guy?
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah? First off?
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Also friends, ah, true.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: That's true Braxton Hicks contractions. Braxton is like false ones,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Like it's a it's a really bad contraction to where
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it feels like you're going into labor and you're actually not,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and it's just your body preparing itself for labor. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: like you know how they're like, oh like babies comment
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: like I'm about to go in the labor. It's not
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: in like twenty seconds, it's done, and it could happen
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: like multiple times. That's what Braxton Hicks contractions. I just
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: thought that was fine. I doubt that. I doubt that's who.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: You related to.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: But owned.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Alright, guys, a lot to get to in this segment.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Fortunately LSU women's basketball. If you didn't catch it last night,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you miss the heck of a game. The Tigers pull
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: it out. When they looked like they were they were
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: done for. I mean they were just barely tread and
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: water that entire game. Ole Miss had a six point
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: lead in halftime. So you' ling, Okay, LSU's still within
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: striking distance. Lush you awful second quarter, just eleven points
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: in that second quarter started out well, I mean, put
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: up twenty six in the first one. Okay, that's about normal.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Let's see if they can keep that rolling awful in
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the second. Ole Miss gets up to as much as
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a thirteen point lead in the third quarter. LSU was
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: able to cut it to nine heading into the fourth quarter.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Well, with about six.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And a half minutes to go, the ol Miss Rebels
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: were up ten points at home. Six and a half
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: minutes to go, it looked like there was no way
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: this team was going to come back. What happened. Ole
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Miss couldn't make any shots, and LSU just kept coming
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: and kept going and kept going and kept going. They
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: fought all the way back. You look, you're like, oh,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: they cut it to six, they cut it to four. Wait,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a minute, this is a tie game. And once they
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: tied that game on that Jada Reeshard twelve foot jumper,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the entire they flipped on its head and LSU ran
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: away with and LSU wins this game seventy eight to seventy.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: So from being down ten with six and a half
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: minutes to go to winning this game by eight points
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: in that swing, it really shows the want for this team.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Think about it, these ladies just came off of an emotional, draining,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: physical basketball game on Saturday night in the p met
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: It was the seven thirty primetime game.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: It was on ABC.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You took on arguably the best team in women's college basketball,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and you came up short once again. I mean, you
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: lost the eighteenth straight time to South Carolina. Kim Molkey
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: o wins six against Dawn Staley since being at LSU,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Like that's heartbreaking for everyone involved, and to get up
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: for a game like that physically and emotionally, that can
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: be draining on you. Look at what happened two years ago.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Two years ago, LSU hosted South Carolina in that exact
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: same spot they lost to South Carolina, and what happened.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: They went on the road to Mississippi State later in
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: that week and they lost that game, and it very
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: much looked like that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Was what was going to happen last night.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: But Lage Johnson Malaysia full whiley will get into in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a minute, Jada Reeshard, like all of them stepped up
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: so big down the stretch for this team.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: It was incredible.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: If you're wondering just how good LSU's defense was in
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that fourth quarter, Ole miss seven points in the fourth
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: quarter and they were zero for sixteen on field goal attempts.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: All seven points came from free throws. It was foul shots.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: They kept them in that game. LSU outscored them twenty
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: four to seven in that last quarter of play and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: again the last six and a half, they just they
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: blew the doors off up. I mean, it wound up
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: being can LSU try to get back into this game?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: To how much is LSU gonna win by?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Once you were in the final two minutes of this
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: ball game, flaw j Johnson like is just the leader
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: of this team. You can tell that she's a four
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: year player under Kim Moulk. Anything, everything she has to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: do win the game, she's going to do it. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: she had five rebounds in this game, three assists, just
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: one turnover. She shot six for eleven from the field,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: so she was actually really good there and she finished
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: with eighteen points. She's actually only one of two players
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: with double digits in this game. Malaysia full Wiley off
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the bench, continues to just be a spark plug for
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: this team. She came off the bench twenty four minutes,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: twenty six points, ten of eighteen shooting, and she kind
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: of led the charge that last six minutes or so.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: She went on a run where she had like two
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: or three buckets in a row by herself to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you within that two point gap. And then again Jada
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Reeshard ties the game on the jumper and that's all
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: she wrote. The Tigers run away with it, and you
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: could see that they were fired up. I mean, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: understand it's a different sport, but think about how much
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss fans hate La Shoe right now, Like that's
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: you could hear it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was like a hornet.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Patrick on the broadcast literally said, it feels like LSU's
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: in a hornet to this right now. The fans are
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: right on top. There was seventy five hundred people in
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that building. Last night at an eight o'clock midweek tip off,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and most of them where they're rooting against LSU. Now,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: LSU traveled well, they got a lot of their fans there.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know if any of you saw the picture
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of a lot of the fans brought the Lane Kiffin
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: LSU headshot cutout and they were holding it up control.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: The old Miss fans love that because Ole Miss is
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: never gonna stop thinking about Lane Kivin. They're never gonna
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: stop thinking about LSU. And the fact that you went
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: in there and got that win.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Now you can say, Okay, LSU's number seven in the country.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: They got to win over number seventeen.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: They did exactly what they're supposed to do. First off,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: it's hard to beat top twenty five opponents. Second, it's
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: even harder to win on the road in the SEC.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: But most importantly, I don't know if people realize how
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: big this game actually was for really both teams. So
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: going into last night, LSU and ole Miss were tied
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: for fourth in the conference. They were eight and four overall.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: In order to get that extra buy in the SEC tournament,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you have to be a top four seat. Now, South
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Carolina's at the top twelve and one, Vandy's up there
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: like no, nobody's catching those teams well. With the win
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: last night, LSU is now in sole possession of fourth place,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: sitting at nine and four. The three teams right behind
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: them Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ole Miss. LSU was beating all three
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: of those teams head to head, including Ole Miss last night.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: All the Lady Tigers got to do now is keep
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: winning and you get your bye. You don't have to
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: rely on anyone else. So you can look at it
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: and say, yeah, big time top twenty five conference win,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: like great, but it means so much more for that
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: for SEC tournament hopes and tournament seeding if you go
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: far in that SEC tournament.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: This was much bigger than just one game.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: And I mean, obviously I was just talking about the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: fan rivalry between the two schools, but even more so
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: than that, what this team accomplished last night to get
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: off the mat, fight back in a game where honestly,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: like I was working the board last night, I was
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: producing the game for Patrick Wright sitting there in the studio.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: It snowballs into a thirteen point lead for ole Miss
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: with about two and a half to go in the
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: third quarter, and I'm like, this game's over. Oh, she
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: was about to lose the second consecutive game and fall
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: to eight and five. I really saw that happen. Get
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: into the fourth quarter and they're just they're chipping away
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and chipping away and chipping away. And then the last
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: two minutes I kind of sat back. I mean, what
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: even super tense the last two minutes because I kind
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: of knew LSU had this game in the back the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: way they were playing, you know, outside of the scoring itself,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: big story in the second half, Mikayla Williams did not
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: play at all in the second half. She had sixteen minutes,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: all of them in the first half. Now she had
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: seven points, three for eight, shooting one for three from
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the three point line. It didn't look like she was injured.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, she was sitting on the bench of the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: entire time. She actually stood up with the team when
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: there was a timeout in the huddle. No word yet
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: on if Look, we know Kim Moulke, she's a fiery coach.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Where she's trying to make an example out of Mikayla Williams.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: You know, it's all speculation at this point. Kayla Williams
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: did not play at all though in that second half.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: The good news is it didn't look like though it
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: was because of injury. But again a big time win
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: for the LSU Tigers seventy eight to seventy over the
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Old Miss Rebels on the road. And again LSU now
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: sole position of that fourth place spot so they could
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: get that extra by in that second round in that
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: SEC tournament. Okay, want to shift gears right now to
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: LSU Baseball Tigers will play the Jacks Classic starting today
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: one pm.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: First pitch.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's not really a tournament, but there are four different
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: teams here, so it's kind of like a think of
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: it as like a regional if you will out there
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, So you'll play Indiana. Notre Dame u SEF
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Tigers will play Indiana, first pitch at one o'clock. And now,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: for those wondering last night, it kind of leaked the
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: pitching rotation for LSUOT So Cason Evans will be Friday,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: just like you was last week. Cooper Moore Saturday. Sunday
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: as of right now is TB eight, So it could
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: be William Schmidt, it could be someone else. We'll see
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: mean landra were talking about it earlier this week, like
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: not all three of those weekend rotations, about three seven stunt.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Also keep in mind that Cooper Williams did not pitch
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: in that midweek game a couple of nights ago against Nichols.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Are they preparing him for a weekend start? Do they
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: go with William Schmidt?
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Illough.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: William Schmidt had a fine outing on Sunday. I think
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: he was good enough to earn a second start. But
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: you know, Jay likes the tinger with things early in
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the year, trying to find his best possible lineup. So
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: just something to keep an eye on going into Sunday.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: And now, you know, if we see Cooper Williams out
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of the pen either today or tomorrow, that'll give us
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: a clearer pitcher on what happened Sunday. But just keep
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: that in mind, and you know, maybe they'll Knolnce down
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the road who's pitching Sunday. But as of last night,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: it was it was TBA on that Sunday spot. But
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Tigers will take on Indiana first. Indiana won in three
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: overall on the season, so you can look at that
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and say, oh, well, this team's not any good LSU
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: is gonna have a really easy time. But they took
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: on number eleven North Carolina in the opening weekend and
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: they struggled.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I mean they lost nine to four on Friday.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Game two is a twelve to two run rule victory
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: for the tar Heels, and then a four to three
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: loss that went into extra nings. That was an eleven
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: inning game. So Indiana fought back a little bit in
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that game three. Then they came home and beat the
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Brakes off of Bradley fifteen to three run rule in
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: their midweek game. So not a lot to go off of,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: because yes, they got swept by a really good top
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: fifteen program on the re in North Carolina. You come home,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you beat the Brakes off of an overmatch team and Bratt,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So not a lot to look at and say, hey,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: what is is this team good?
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Are they not? I think it's somewhere in the middle.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: As far as what LSU is going to see, you'll
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: likely see Tony Newbak as the Friday pitcher for Indiana.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: He threw on Friday last week. And I mentioned that
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: they lost that that Friday game to North Carolina last
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: week nine to four. It wasn't really Tourny new Beaks fault.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I mean he went he did well. He goes four innings,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: gives up only one hit, had two strikeouts, gave up
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: no runs, and he did walk three. That was kind
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: of a theme in the opening weekend for that Indiana
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: pitching staff was they allowed a lot of free base
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: runners to get on those base paths. But yeah, I
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: mean he pitched well, four innings, two k's, one hit,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: gave up no runs. If you remember the name Tony Newbak,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: he pitched at Missouri last year, you've been there for
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: a few years. Lsues actually faced him one time when
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: he is that Missouri. Wasn't great at Missouri, kind of
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a middle of the road pitcher. But Indiana is relying
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: on him right now to be that Friday starter for them,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: So that is likely who you're going to see in
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Game one. Third base Will Moore. He has led off
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: every game for them so far, with kind of mixed results.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: He's five of seventeen in the year with three RBIs.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: But again, they've played four games. He is led off
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: in every single one of those games. I imagine when
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Indiana goes out there to bat third baseman Will Moore,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: will likely lead all for him once again unless something
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: else changed, because they're really not hitting the ball well
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: as a team like you can say, oh five or seventeen.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: They might make a change again. I mean they struggled.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: They scored.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Nine runs total in three games against Indiana, I mean
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: against the North Carolina and yeah they got the fifteen
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: runs in the midweek, but that was against Bradley, an
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: overmatch team. I think LSU is gonna have some success here.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I would like to see case and Evans have a
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: bounce back. I mean, you know, he did some good
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: on Friday, did some not so good on Friday.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: As well.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: As far as Game two goes, you'll face the Notre
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Dame fighting Irish. Notre Dame two and one on the year.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: They've only played three games. They actually lost their opener
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to FAU in game one last week, then they dominated
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: them the next two games. I imagine Notre Dame playing
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: in Boca Raton last week. They're in Jacksonville this week.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: They probably just chilled in Florida for the past week,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: which is why they did not play that midweek game.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Cayden Crowell started Game two last week, went three innings,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: no runs, no hits, but again he did walk for
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and he struck out three. So both starting pitchers that
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: you're likely going to face did a good job of
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: limiting hits and limiting runs, but they gave up free
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: passes to some batters. If you do that against a
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: talented lineup like LSU, that's going to get you into
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: some trouble. So that's something to watch as the series
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: goes along a little bit more. And then your Game
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: three opponent, UCF. They crushed Sienna in their opening series
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: sixteen nothing, thirteen to one, fifteen nothing.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: All of those were run rules. Then they fell short
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: to Miami.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: It was a nationally ranked team in their midweek game
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, but look, they battled hard. That was an
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: eight to seven final score that went thirteen innings against
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the Hurricanes. So UCF looking pretty strong on the year
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: so far. We'll see what they have in this Jacks Classic.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I know the two of you will be will be
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: locked in on this as well, so you know, I
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: kind of gave this an overall breakdown of what you're
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: probably going to see pitching wise for these these teams
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: you're gonna face this weekend, whether it's Indiana notre name
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Central Florida. As far as the Tigers get, I got
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: a few on my mind. Want to see where y'all
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: are at. What are you keeping an eye on a lounge?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: As far as the Tigers go? What are you looking
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: for this weekend? Some of you want to see.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: I can't think of like anything specifically. I'm kind of
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: with you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: I want to see if Cason can go a little
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: longer than three and a third I think is.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: What it was on Friday.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Obviously, I also kind of want to see so I
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: know it's TBD on Sunday, maybe William Schmidt, maybe somebody else,
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: maybe Cooper Williams, because we didn't end up seeing him
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: on uh when did we play Wednesday? So maybe I'm
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: curious to see that. But I'm also curious to see
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: later on down the line if Cason Evans holds that
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: Friday night spot or if it ends up being like
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: he switches Cooper more to the to be your Ace
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: and then maybe Cason too Saturday.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: We'll have to see how he ends up doing and
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: if he can extend. But I'm I'm curious down the
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: line to see what the rotation ends up being yeah,
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: because I don't think. I don't think this is what's
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: gonna be.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: J.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I mean every year, that's the first thing I wrote down,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Get the case of Evans extend as a starter. Yeah,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I wanted you to go first because I knew that's
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: where you were going. Like everybody's on the same page
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: on this. Yes, he went three and a third. He
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: did strike out seven and three and a third, which
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: is great. No, he I mean like he did his
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: He did well the top of the fourth, just snowbird,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: and like all four runs he gave up were in
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: that fourth, and he was cruising through the first three
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and you're like, Okay, this is the case in Evans.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: We expected I could be remembering wrong, but wasn't it
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: kind of like that last season too when he would.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Start Yeah, because he got some of those Sez starts
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: on Sunday and yeah, and I remember that was when
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: everybody was like, do you keep starting him? Do you
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: put him back in the back of the bullpen, because
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: you really because at that point you really only had
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: him in Evans, Like the rest of the bullpen, I
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: mean him and him and Cowen. The rest of the
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: bullpen was was still trying to catch up. So people
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: were like, hey, you know Evans is too valuable out
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: of the pin, do you really want to start him?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean he he got off to a
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: slow start last year. I remember it was cow when
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: that got the hot start. Evans towards the end of
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the year was the one. It was really your dominant guy.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the fourth inning last week against against Milwaukee
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: really just kind of snowballed on him. But seven strikeouts,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: three and a third, what does thee feel extend a
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: little bit longer? I got a feeling that he will.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I have confidence that Case and Evans can be a
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: starting pitcher for this team. I'm glad you brought up
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Cooper Moore because if Cooper Moore goes six innings, eleven
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: strikeouts and no walks like he did this last week,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: he kind of has to be your Friday guy.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Now that's a tough ask.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Eleven strikeouts to no walks is incredible, But we knew
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: coming into this season Cooper Moore was probably going to
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: be a starter.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: On this stat.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Jay raved about him in press conferences every chance he got,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: And when a coach does that, when a coach raves
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: about a player in any sport when not specifically asked
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: about that player. To me, that always makes me think, Okay,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: that player is top of mind for that coach. They
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: are really standing out. And that's exactly what happened. Like
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Cooper Moore last year started to bunch of games that
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Kansas did really well and he was dominant week one.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that's something to keep an eye on. This one.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Not even a concern for me. I just want to
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: see how good he really is. Can Gavin Guidry continue
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: his dominance like that's that's something I'm watching, Like, I
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: don't know if you guys realize I went yesterday and
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: kind of combined his first two games. In the first
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: two games now he's only going four and a third total,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: but in two games four and a third innings, pitched,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: ten strikeouts, one hit, no runs, no walks. That's unbelievable.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: If Gavin Gidrey can be eighty percent of what he's
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: been so far, then you have a really good back
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: of the bullpen. Relieve, I know it's early in the season.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I know everyone was concerned about Gavin Guidry's injury. I mean, hell,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: he hadn't played in eighteen months until the opener against Milwaukee.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Gavin Guidry almost looks better than he was, which is
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: difficult to say because he was a closer on the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: national championship team as a freshman and had a big
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: role as a sophomore in twenty twenty four as well.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Gavin Guidry almost looks bigger, stronger than he did before
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: he had that injury issue. Gavin Guidry can keep it going.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I think the sky is the limit for this pitching
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: staff because at that point if it does wind up
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: be in some combination of Cason Evans, Cooper Moore, William
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Schmid in the starting role or at Cooper Williams, but
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: three of those four guys solidify a spot. You have
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: your starters, you have your back end guy in Gavin Guidry.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Devin Sheeran was dominant. He could give you some big
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: time in it. I think Santiago Garcia is gonna step up.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: He was too good at Oregon. That's a lefty out
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: of the pin for you. If you get your starting
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: rotation figured out, pairing that with Gavin Gidry and as
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: your your number one bull, then arm you can kind
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: of pick and choose your spots for everyone else those
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: guys will have had those kind of designated spots in
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: that rotation in that bullpen. You can kind of pick
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: and choose based on matchup, which Jay does all the time. Anyways,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: It just it just kind of makes your life easier.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: How concerned are you, Alandra about Zach Cowan right now?
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: We kind of talked about this yesterday, and I'd be
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned about it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: But we've just seen it from him before, so I
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: don't like, obviously there is a little bit of concern,
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: but I think that if you get a little bit
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: more reps work with Nate Yesky a little bit, we
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: could probably see him back to where he was before.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: But it is concerned only because the last the back
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: end of last season, right, But.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: We also, to your point, saw him in so many
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: big time moments against a big time teams. Like if
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: this was Zach Calvin a year ago, coming from Wafford,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: stepping up a level of competition and then struggling, That's
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: where my concern would be. At that point, I would
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: be like, Okay, this is an issue. Is he not
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: ready for this this level of ball? But he was
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: so good for you last year. I mean, he was
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: the best closer in the SEC for seventy five eighty
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: percent of the season last year.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: I think he'll get it back. He has the ability
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: to do that.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: To her point about working with Nate Yeessky, like, is
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: there a guy I know people like the troll and
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: all that, but in all seriousness, is there a guy
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: in college baseball you would trust more to work with
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: somebody than Nate Yusky? Not me?
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: And I trust that man wholeheartedly.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: He was great before he got here, and all he's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: done at LSU, has had this team lead the SEC
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: in strikeouts two years in a row, and oh yeah,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: they won a Natty last year. Nate Ysky's got the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: resume to where I'm just gonna blindly trust him.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I think Zach Cowen can bounce out of it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: And the good news is this team is so talented
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: and so deep, you're gonna have at least a talent
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: advantage over most of the teams you play at this
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: point in the season. Put Cowen out there, let him
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: work through his struggles in an in game situation, because
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: you have the talent advantage right now to overcome that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you drop a game, yeah, that sucks.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: But I think right now it's more important for Zach
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Cowen to work through his issues because when you get
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: into those high leverage moments in SEC games, you're gonna
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: need a guy like that who has the experience and
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: who has the ability to make those big time pitches
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: for you. And that's whos that Cowen is. So we'll
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: see what happens. A lot of things to watch as
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: LSU again. They will play Game one against Indiana one
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: pm this afternoon in the Jacks Baseball Classic out there
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, Florida.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: We're gonna keep an.
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: Eye on it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: We'll recap the entire series when we get back on Monday.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: But what we'll do right now, we'll step away. We'll

  Speaker 2: About the boy yall's minds. You're not gonna believe this.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna see it coming. Georgia had two players
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: arrested yesterday.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: For res drive Way you're lying that program.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I know it's actually Wednesday night, but yes, both of them,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: linebackers Chris Cole and Darren at Kinnabon were rested on
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: reckless you're driving and exceeding the maximum limit.
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: Believable.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Both were misdemeanors. But but here's the funny part of this. Well,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: luckily no one was injured, because that has happened before.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: He surrounding that program.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: But it says here.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Cole was booked at nine fifty nine pm and posted
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: bond at ten thirty nine pm. That's forty minutes. At Kennabon,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: he was booked at ten thirty seven pm. He posted
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: bail at eleven eight pm. Also around forty forty five minutes.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: You know what reminds me of a lotne this uh
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: this clip radio from SpongeBob. Go go ahead, Brexton, you're
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: you gonna do it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: That's okay, follow me. If you can't do the time,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: don't do the crime. Okay, times up.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: That's Georgia, get out. That's that's that's literally, that's the
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Athens County Sheriff's department. They were feeling uh Athens Clark
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: County is who it was they were. They were feeling
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: generous there and uh yeah, they were in jail for
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: like flip of a coin. And this is this part
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: here blows my mind.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I had to check this.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a typo. But dog nation dot
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: com has it, Y'allhoo Sports has it. This is the
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: actual amount they had to pay to post bond. Chris
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Cole posted a twenty six dollars perfect Darren akinnabon he
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: really got a big slap on the risk. He had
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: to post a thirty nine dollars bond and they were
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: in they were they were locked up for about forty
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: minutes a peace. At that point, do you have to
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: have somebody come bond you out? Or if you just
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: got forty bucks in your pocket, you just slip it
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: to the cop and be like a can you take pay?
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Can?
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I have never been Moia forty bucks? Like can we
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: just can we just wrap this up and be done
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: with it?
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: The uh?
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: The part I love in this article on dog Nation.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Listen to this. This is not the first time Georgia
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: has run into issues with reckless driving.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Wait, I thought it was Believe it or not a
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: laundra This has happened before.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Crazy It's become a recurring issue with the program after
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: the last few off seasons.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: But real talk, like how does it happen every year?
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: In always like always change.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Georgia football, and it's always reckless driving?
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: And Kirby seems like the type of guy that would
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: run a really tight program.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: I guess not.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: And like it's so hard nowadays because players all said,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: damn so saw if you punish them in any way,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: shape or for him, they're just going to enter the
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: transfer portal and leave. But if I'm Kirby smart, part
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: of the nil package for my football team is I'm
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: buying everyone a motor scooter or a segway or a
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: damn hoverboard or whatever.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: I can. You ain't allowed to drive here at the
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Georgia football program.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: It's not happening.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: Well, they keep doing it because they've spent forty minutes
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: in jail and paid twenty six dollars to get out.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm sure the cops were feeling generous that night.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: that these were Georgia football players. Okay, you and I,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: if we were drag racing on that strip, we'd probably
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: spend twenty five minutes in.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: Jail houndra tildest time.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Tell you what if that happened to us, I'll be
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: generous and be the big spender. I'd pay both of
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: our bonds, really I would. I'd pay the thirty nine
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: and the twenty six dollars.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: I know, I got you.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: I would just call Gordy.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Gordy, can you send me, like, Gordy, fifty bucks, can.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: You get me out of jail?
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: It's fifty bucks. Good, that seems like a really low bond. No,
• 43:56
