Of course, March Madness was released, 9 00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:29,559 so we'll go over some brackets as well. All that 10 00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:32,679 coming your way on today's show. But how could we 11 00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:37,840 not start with the sweeps that LSU Baseball and LSU Softball. 12 00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:40,079 Speaker 1: Had over the weekend. 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: That's what we called for for LSU baseball, it's what 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,159 we wanted from LSU softball, and they were able to 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,079 get it done. Softball sweeps Kentucky, a ranked softball team 16 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:51,520 as well. 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: We talked about that. It's not easy. 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: It's not one of those situations where you were playing 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,079 one of the tournaments where you were supposed to do that. 20 00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:03,000 Both sweep their first CC series of the season. Softball 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,640 beach Kentucky four to one, six four, eight to two. 22 00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:09,120 Will certainly break those games down, and then the LSU 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,280 Tigers on the diamond. They sweep the Missouri Tigers, and 24 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,480 we started to break down the game, the matchup, and well, 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,280 you always want to sweep whenever. 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,239 Speaker 1: You see the kind of statistics that. 27 00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:23,599 Speaker 2: Missouri had, but as we all know, it is SEC baseball, 28 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,799 and that is never something that can be guaranteed. And 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,599 you take care of Missouri in the first game twelve 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,079 to five, You take care of them yesterday ten to five, 31 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:36,519 and the game on Saturday certainly was a hairy situation 32 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,599 at times, but you find a way to win that 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,719 one seven to six. As you heard say there, we'll 34 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,519 get into LSU women's basketball getting a three seed. They 35 00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:50,040 will yet again host here in Baton Rouge, and you 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,640 better be ready to stay up late. It is a 37 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,799 late boy. They have got a late game against San 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,239 Diego State coming up. So we'll break all of that 39 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,560 down again. We are here at Country Club of Luis, Louisiana. 40 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,359 T Bob will join us here in a couple of minutes. 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,680 He was maybe at studio. We'll get to that a 42 00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:10,280 little bit. Yes, braid it is okay, because we're gonna 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,039 have him join us here in a matter of minutes. 44 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: But if we start with LSU Baseball. 45 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: We mentioned they win twelve to five in the first 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,439 game of the series against Missouri. It really set the 47 00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:25,919 table for the weekend and we kind of question, Okay, well, 48 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,879 what is this going to look like as far as 49 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,120 the lineup, because you played so many players here in 50 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,400 the non con and you were throwing a lot of 51 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:36,840 different guys out there. Would that continue? And you definitely 52 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:40,240 saw it tighten up a little bit for Jay Johnson. 53 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,800 You didn't have all the pinch hitting, you didn't have 54 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,319 all the defensive replacements. Now you did have a pinch hitter. 55 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:49,240 It was very impactful in the game, and that was 56 00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,800 outfielder Jake Brown. He comes into the game ends up 57 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,199 having four RBIs. But remember you go back, you look 58 00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:58,080 at some of these box scores from some of these 59 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,360 non conference games and you were playing thirteen, fourteen, sometimes 60 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,159 even fifteen players. And we asked Jay last week when 61 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,240 we caught up with him, is that going to continue? 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,199 Is that going to be kind of what we can 63 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,919 expect from this LSU team because you have so much 64 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,199 depth and the first game out he played it like 65 00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,520 he's been playing it over the last couple of years, 66 00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,360 and you saw everybody kind of tighten up, and their 67 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:24,879 position was their position. 68 00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of movement. 69 00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: Again, Jake Brown being the only guy that ended up 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,199 coming in and that was more of a lefty righting 71 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,199 matchup situation. 72 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,479 Speaker 1: So you had that for LSU baseball. 73 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,039 Speaker 2: And that was again the first game and you go 74 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,879 out there, Kate Anderson strikes out eleven. He was dominant 75 00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:44,120 on the mound. You jump on Missouri early. You never 76 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:45,919 look back there, and that's what you have to do 77 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:49,120 against a bad baseball team. You have to jump on him. 78 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:50,639 You got to take that life out of them. And 79 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,520 that's what LSU was able to get done. They were 80 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,879 up seven to two after four. Never really look back. 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,719 Hello t Bob, how you doing. You're gonna be freezing 82 00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:01,159 cold with your hair wet like that? 83 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: Nah? Wow, what a morning man. Guys, what's up?

It was a great weekend. It was a 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000 great weekend. Yeah. I mean there's I guess there's a 107 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,040 million different places where you could start there. 108 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,639 Speaker 2: I love, but I started with baseball just because I 109 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,120 loved Friday, right. I love looking up after the fourth 110 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,279 inning and you're up seven to two, and you have to, 111 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,800 like when you're playing a bad team, and by SEC standards, 112 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,519 Missouri's bad. 113 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, you. 114 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: Have to do that. You got to take all the 115 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,199 life out of them early. And we talked about it 116 00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:48,480 all last week. I don't know if you called it 117 00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:50,639 as you were walking up, but you know, Jay Johnson 118 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:53,240 has been playing like thirteen fourteen players and all of 119 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000 these games, and I asked him last week is if 120 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,600 it was going to kind of continue, and he was 121 00:05:57,879 --> 00:05:58,680 kind of noncommittal. 122 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,319 Speaker 1: It's like we're gonna need everybody, you know, that kind 123 00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:00,759 of answer. 124 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,519 Speaker 2: But you only had like one pinch hitter and now 125 00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,160 now Jake Brown, who did pinch it, had four rbs. 126 00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: It was very impactful. 127 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: But it was crazy to see from what they've been 128 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:12,560 doing to see what they did in this first SEC 129 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,319 game and everything just shrunk well. 130 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: And it's so funny how Jay just knows what buttons 131 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,240 to push, right, Like I kind of assumed that it 132 00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:22,279 was gonna be Tanner Reeves at third instead of Brasswell 133 00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,800 coming into this and then who's kind of the most 134 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,480 productive guy in game number three finding ways to get 135 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:32,560 runs across the plate? So look, I think this. I 136 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,120 think the reaction to the Sweet Jake is one of 137 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,079 the more interesting I've seen it. Tell me if I'm 138 00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:45,480 off face here, because I've seen people maybe not papooing it, 139 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,279 but like, you know, kind of like, oh, it wasn't 140 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,839 as dominant as it as as it should have been. 141 00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:54,720 And and and I guess my only thing is, like 142 00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:57,759 I saw Hunt Palmer describe it as workman like and that, 143 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:00,199 and that's probably accurate. But I feel like when you're 144 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:06,160 talking about this series that is legitimate, Like there's a 145 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,680 conversation to be had about why these games are so 146 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,519 close or or or maybe some of the wobbles that 147 00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,759 you have. But those are the conversations that have to 148 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,199 take place after the ones in which you celebrate all 149 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,399 the good this weekend, which was really great offense throughout 150 00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:26,959 the weekend and very timely offense throughout the weekend. Like 151 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,920 it seemed like every single time that uh that that 152 00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:35,040 Mazoo would do something offensively, the LSU bats would waste 153 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:38,879 no time at all immediately responding in the next inning 154 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,000 and taking back the lead or extending the league And 155 00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:44,680 and yes, did did the did the bullpen kind of 156 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,399 wobble at times, and and and have some tough innings. 157 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:52,959 Was it dominant all throughout? No, but guys found a 158 00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:55,040 way and and there were some really big plays created 159 00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,399 because of it. What was it? Was it Casey Evans 160 00:07:57,399 --> 00:07:59,600 at the back to back strikeouts when the bases were loaded, 161 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,959 game on the line, and then it comes down next inning, 162 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,199 fans two more in a row, like, So, what a 163 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,759 weekend for LSU baseball? First off mission accompliss It's always 164 00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:11,480 just to win the game. Okay, you swept. Not even 165 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:14,240 I could mush it right. I tried, but not even 166 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,560 I Commas did exactly need to. You swept. And Yeah, 167 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,040 if you're gonna tell me this team doesn't look like 168 00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:21,839 a championship Calvary team today, I'm gonna say, sure, fine, 169 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,360 but guess what, I don't care. I need them to 170 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,040 look like that in in two and a half months. 171 00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:31,519 What a fantastic first step to take care of business 172 00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,240 and now start three and OHO over the weekend and 173 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:42,120 get yourself tested in some high leverage, intense SEC baseball scenarios. 174 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,879 Jacket's amazing it is. 175 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: I got it for Army Navy one year. They were 176 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,120 like USSA, like they were passing it out to. 177 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,639 Speaker 1: All the media members. Damn incredible, Jack.

It wasn't great. He had some questionable 186 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,960 calls behind the dish. Still you find a way, you 187 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:23,960 jump on them, as we mentioned on Friday. But then 188 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,039 like even on Sunday, like you had a chance to 189 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600 take over the game and you did. Yeah, and you 190 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:32,000 did exactly what you wanted to do. I'm sure if 191 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,159 you asked Jay, like, you know, hey, on Saturday, did 192 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,759 you kind of like having to go find a way 193 00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,120 and kind of dig deep and go make some plays? 194 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,559 He tell you yeah, absolutely. So it's a sweep in 195 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,320 the SEC. I know Missouri's not a good baseball team, 196 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,840 but it's not like it was close. 197 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,159 Speaker 1: Only one game was close. 198 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,879 Speaker 2: The other two you beat him by at least five runs, 199 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,960 and you had some guys step up offensively. 200 00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:58,919 Speaker 1: Again you score twenty nine men three story for me. 201 00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:03,480 The bats all week and long, so consistent top to bottom. 202 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:05,360 I mean, like I said, even brassle the end, they're 203 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,799 giving you so much production out of the bottom stephn 204 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,120 Milem continues to be one of the most exciting players 205 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:14,799 to watch. And he's got that great old school grindy 206 00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,279 baseball thing jake where you look at him and the 207 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,679 uniforms just always dirty as hell and you're like, yeah, 208 00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:24,399 look at that guy. That guy. That guy just works. 209 00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,559 He's just in the dirt trying to do everything he 210 00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:30,559 can to make sure this team can can get the win. 211 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: I still like the fact and anybody that's been to 212 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:39,480 watch them play, like they know, like his size, yeah, 213 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,720 but like the fact that he can get that much 214 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:42,519 torque and that. 215 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,519 Speaker 1: Much power, Like everything's crazy that he does. 216 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:49,279 Speaker 2: It's remarkable. And think about this is a baseball player 217 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,399 that's still young. I mean, he's a sophomore, like true sophomore, 218 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:55,080 and it just feels like he's just continuing to take 219 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,279 that step to be the next great one. 220 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,919 Speaker 1: Not the next good one, but like the next great one. 221 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,759 Speaker 2: And he started the season kind of at the bottom 222 00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:05,159 of the lineup, where I was like, what's going on here, 223 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,320 like is this going to be where he lives? And 224 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:09,919 I think it was just something that Jay was testing 225 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,399 and he can you know, continue to see him move 226 00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:14,000 up and he's going to put in be put in 227 00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:16,440 those big spots all season long. And then then you 228 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,639 have this freshman, this incredible freshman that's just setting the 229 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,799 table right, just continues to get on base, continues to 230 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:25,440 drive runs, and continues to do the small things, and 231 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:29,080 so like, what they're getting from these young baseball players 232 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,080 to me is remarkable. 233 00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: And defensively, Mylem's been fantastic as well. I don't exactly 234 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,879 know baseball well enough to know maybe why there was 235 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,559 some doubt as to how he would make the transition, 236 00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:45,360 but he has been so much fun. 237 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:49,039 Speaker 2: You just sent like a bat signal to Champ asking 238 00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:49,879 a question like that. 239 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I just I just mean that, like I 240 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,919 felt like I heard her. He's switching the shortstop, and 241 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,879 baseball layman like me, I'm like, okay, yeah, sure that 242 00:11:57,879 --> 00:11:59,799 makes sense. He's like, you know, kind of feels like 243 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,879 a or something whatever. And then and then the baseball 244 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,279 guys would be like, well, no, it's it's maybe gonna 245 00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:06,639 be a weird fit because of x x X and 246 00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:10,320 whatever it is. Uh, it has not been because he 247 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,440 has been He's been awesome. He has highlight plays every 248 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,360 single weekend. I thought he was going to make Lynn 249 00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:20,679 rolins head explode. Uh when he when he when he 250 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,200 when he when he tagged the bat and then got 251 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,200 got that throw over. So it was yeah, Stephen mylam 252 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,080 has been incredible to watch so far. Great Lyn moments 253 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,159 always are well. I'm trying to think. 254 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 2: I think he was talking about Yeah, it was Ethan 255 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,080 Fry he was talking about. I think he's from rose Pine. 256 00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:43,720 He said, he's like talking to Ben. He's like you 257 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,840 ever sped through rose Pine? 258 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: It makes and Max Lavon got luck a life. That's 259 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,080 the best line I've ever heard, because I have been 260 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,080 through im. I've got a speeding ticket in Lamone. 261 00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:00,879 Speaker 2: Every person ever been one had a speed and taken 262 00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:01,480 in Lavonia. 263 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: Maybe looks like, oh my god, Lynn, take a bow. 264 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:14,080 He kept going part He's kept going like, oh man. Yeah. 265 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,879 So again, not a perfect weekend, uh, except where it 266 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:21,000 matters in the win column. And uh, you know, if 267 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,240 if kind of like what Jake was talking about as well, 268 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,679 if you were to ask Jay maybe uh over beers 269 00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:30,759 not a public setting. I think it's not the worst 270 00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:35,279 thing to allow some of these bullpen arms, especially a 271 00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:36,960 young guy like even like a William Schmidt, right Like 272 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,639 it's it's it's not the worst thing to to have 273 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 them kind of struggle in and and and in these 274 00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,399 moments and see what that feels like. But then you 275 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,440 still emerge with a win. Right, So so you now 276 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:51,840 have something that you can coach, that you can very 277 00:13:51,879 --> 00:13:54,399 clearly coach and say this is where we have to improve. 278 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:57,360 But you're not doing it with the with with with 279 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,840 an L, with it with an L, Mark uh and 280 00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:02,039 the column there and so yes, it's bad, but you 281 00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:04,799 took advantage. You beat him handily two of the three games. 282 00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:07,120 Like Jake said, offensively, you were fantastic through out. Started 283 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,639 pitching pretty damn great as well throughout. I guess really 284 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,039 the bullpen maybe would be something something gets struggled over 285 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,000 the weekend. But again, these are things that you can 286 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,360 now work on, and you did it again. You did 287 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,879 a very good job. I mean, think back to the 288 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,919 bases load at seven to eight they eat of Saturday night, 289 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,559 when you did get into the sketchy situations, you did 290 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:31,639 a very good job of holding the line and not 291 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:37,039 letting it completely spiral out of control. And so overall, 292 00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:42,080 great marks for this LSU baseball team. As yeah, man 293 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,159 three and oh there you go, maybe three and oh 294 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:47,080 it's all you can ask for every single week.

And so when I see 370 00:19:12,759 --> 00:19:17,079 like Burzon and Coffee, you're kind of salty, old stalwarts 371 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,440 that have been doing it forever, and then like Heavener 372 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:24,839 and is it Edward Torrey. But the mixture there speaks 373 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,839 to a team that can do some special things. Sweeping 374 00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:33,000 Top twenty two Kentucky over the weekend in Tiger Park. 375 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,880 What were the scores here? Friday was four to one, 376 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,960 Saturday six to four, and then Sunday eight to two, 377 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,359 which you love a big dominant win to close out 378 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,240 the sweep, knowing what's on the line on a Sunday 379 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,680 outscore to eighteen to seven. 380 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,319 Speaker 2: And when we're looking at the box scores here, and 381 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,599 that's what's different, and I'm glad you kind of phrased 382 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,240 it that way. 383 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: We've seen really good softball teams here. 384 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean since we've been doing this show, since 385 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,640 I've been back, since you've been back. I mean, they've 386 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,519 been one of the better teams in the SEC, right, 387 00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:05,920 But they're looking to get over that hump. They're looking 388 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,000 to get to a point where they're like a championship team, 389 00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:12,039 like a true national championship team, because they've been close before. 390 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,720 This does feel different because of all the reasons you 391 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:17,160 laid out there like they didn't just be Kentucky, they 392 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,960 dominated Kentucky, who again top twenty five softball team. 393 00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: And so you look at what they've done and last 394 00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:24,839 year they were. 395 00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: Undefeated, but you kind of get into the sec they 396 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,759 got punched. 397 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: A little bit. 398 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,319 Speaker 2: You're still a good softball team. But this one feels 399 00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,000 like they're going to be doing the Haymakers. They're not 400 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,319 going to have to like CounterPunch and figure it out. 401 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,880 Like they feel like they are going to be the 402 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,559 one on the front foot that everybody else has to 403 00:20:40,599 --> 00:20:42,480 kind of figure out. So that's what's kind of different 404 00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:44,359 about this team than in years past. 405 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: So it's exciting. 406 00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 2: And now you've got to go to Georgia coming up 407 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,960 next weekend. But you're a legit, like there's nothing fluky 408 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,839 about you being number four in the country. 409 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Like you're a legit top five softball team. And I mean, again, guys, 410 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,200 what more can you say about uh Danica coffee here? Now? 411 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,839 I mean when she got hurt last year, that was 412 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,960 kind of to me what changed the entire tenor of 413 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000 the season. They did a good job, continue to fight, 414 00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:12,119 scratch a claw, but you're talking about maybe the best 415 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,720 player in the entire country. She's hitting five forty one 416 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,480 right now, guys with twenty eight starts to say, no 417 00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:24,400 limited sample size five. She has forty hits in seventy 418 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,200 four at bats, Jake, I mean, are you kidding me? 419 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,599 Thirty three walks already for coffee. She has pitchers in 420 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,640 a pretzel right now. And then you talk about the 421 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,000 power tory. Edwards has eleven home runs on the year 422 00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:41,920 already to go along with forty four ribies. Oh, she's 423 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,400 in four twenty seven herself. So I mean, it's it's 424 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:48,920 it's a special team, man, And what a blessed spring 425 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,200 for us getting to watch both versions of the diamond 426 00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:56,680 and watching both of them sweep here the the the 427 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,000 opening weekend. 428 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 2: Again, going back to the softball real quick, it just 429 00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:05,680 it looks like they are set up for one of 430 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,480 those runs, and it looks like just the mixture and 431 00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:13,160 having different arms that are dominant on the mound as well. 432 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,039 Like that's another portion of it, as we all know 433 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,519 in softball, like oftentimes you'll have the dominant and then 434 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:19,640 you'll have somebody that. 435 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: You feel good about, but you know there's a drop off. 436 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like with the fact that they have multiple arms 437 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,480 that can go out there and you feel like if 438 00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,119 it was you know, a game on the line, you 439 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,960 had to have it. Absolutely. You still feel confident in 440 00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:34,599 either one of them. That's what is another difference in 441 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,039 this team. 442 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, So shout out to the softball team. Shout out 443 00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:41,920 to kata Ze Interiors and Outdoor Living. Kata's here in 444 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,079 Tiers and Outdoor Living. Here's a review from our frame 445 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,640 Goldie Domain five star review from our first contact with 446 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,279 kata Ze window treatment consultant Randy to the installation of 447 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:55,240 our shades by Corey and his assistant. Everyone at kata 448 00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:59,680 Z was professional, promised, time frames were accurate, installation was 449 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:05,599 done very well and any concerns were addressed without haggling. Uh. 450 00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:08,799 And look that is not that that's just part of 451 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,640 the course for k to Z, right, And like Goldie 452 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,160 talked about, every single step from when you first get 453 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,400 in touch, when they come out to your home, they 454 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,480 give you that complimentary estimate. Let you know, the deal 455 00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:23,960 is all the way through the complimentary installation. So again, guys, 456 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,319 if if you need plantation, shutters, drapes, winter treatments, uh, 457 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:30,799 you would have put some drop down exteriors shading for 458 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,359 like an outdoor kitchen, so whenever it does warm up, 459 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:36,279 you can stay a little cooler and keep the son off. 460 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,240 You'd be grilled and chilling. It's Kate to Z interiors 461 00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:43,839 and outdoor living, shut out kate Z. One note on 462 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,200 the bullpen real quick, because I feel like we we 463 00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:50,319 kind of touched on this, but Kochie Riley has some 464 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,799 hard numbers on it. How yes, there were there were 465 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,119 wobbles that made things feel sketchy. For ins, it's both 466 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,319 been and these are ok He's numbers of Today's advocate. 467 00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:05,000 The bullpen walk ten hitters, hit three batters, they allowed 468 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,960 three home runs, but Mazuko's just five of twenty two 469 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,079 with runnings in the score position. And most importantly, Saturday, 470 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,519 the game in which it would have bitten you, they 471 00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:19,200 go just one of seven. Yeah, and and and here's 472 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,400 where it maybe gets most impressive. So overall on the weekend, 473 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,240 the bullpen in thirteen and a third ends up with 474 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:28,880 a four oh five era in eighteen k's and the 475 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,519 four h five You're like, a well, tibo, what's the 476 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:35,279 point here? But then Kokie has an interesting addendum, so 477 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680 in in in the in the Sunday game, right when 478 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,039 when it's already over ninth in he doesn't really matter, 479 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,279 uh miszoo. Uh else she's up by six missoo scores 480 00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,920 in one run. Right if you take that run away again, 481 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,839 a run that was not high leverage, that really was 482 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,839 just kind of just a whatever I was pisson in 483 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:55,799 the win. Uh, the group cra drops from four oh 484 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,759 five all the way down to three three eight. So again, 485 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,319 not a perfect weekend by any stretch, right, the ten 486 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,240 hitters who watch everything else that we just talked about, 487 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,839 but maybe a bit better than it felt at times. 488 00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:13,440 And what I would say, even more importantly, you dialed 489 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,920 it in and locked it in in the highest leverage 490 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,039 moments when you had to. So definitely some stuff for 491 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,559 Yesky and the staff to work on. But I found 492 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:24,119 those numbers to be very interesting. 493 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and then you look at Saturday's game, 494 00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:30,559 and you know William Schmidt, a player that we've talked 495 00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:33,720 a lot about, and Jay gave us a great quote 496 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:36,799 on Thursday when he joined us. But he did have 497 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,960 some struggles, right, I mean he free passes, had three 498 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,240 in the inning, gives up only one hit, but gives 499 00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:45,160 up two earned runs, and so some of that was 500 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,759 self inflicted, right, It wasn't like they were just barreling 501 00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:50,759 him up and finding gaps and scoring runs. I mean, 502 00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,519 he put three free runners on base and you get 503 00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:55,039 one hit, scores two runs. 504 00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:56,319 Speaker 1: And that's a young. 505 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 2: Baseball player that we've got all the belief in the 506 00:25:58,519 --> 00:26:00,960 world's gonna be able to only figure it out as 507 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,079 a freshman, but helped this team get to wherever they 508 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:03,799 want to go to. 509 00:26:04,039 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: And that's what we're talking about. Even that situation. 510 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,599 Speaker 2: That wasn't anything that Missouri did, And that's a young 511 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,119 baseball player that probably is going to learn from that situation. 512 00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: So, Yeah, as bad. 513 00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: As it did feel over the weekend, and some of 514 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,000 the bullpen situations, when you do a deep dive and 515 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:22,160 some of the numbers like you mentioned that he put 516 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,440 together there, it's not as bad as it was. And 517 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,440 still even you take William Schmidt's runs off the board 518 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,039 and that goes way down even farther. 519 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the pens can maybe relied upon if ainsin 520 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:37,240 and shores can't get a little longer next time. Of course, 521 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,000 Kate Anderson great on Friday night. He had the home run, 522 00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:43,799 but besides that, excellent as he is want to be 523 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,039 this year, so but yeah, definitely that would be another 524 00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:49,559 goal looking forward to weekend. Number two would be einsin 525 00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:51,400 and Shores going a bit deeper. 526 00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:54,039 Speaker 2: It was good to see Connor Ware come in, you know, 527 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,880 on Saturday when they absolutely had to have him. 528 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: Yep, and he pitched pretty good. I mean he went 529 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,160 a little open an ending obviously. 530 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 2: But they've got a couple guys in that bullpen right 531 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,079 now that feel like there's some real bulldogs. 532 00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:09,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know they don't have a ton 533 00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:10,799 of lefties, but it does feel like they do have 534 00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:13,680 a lot of options and you're only gonna see them 535 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000 like continue to figure it out and have guys see 536 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,119 you right stuff.

Back from the break where the 564 00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:36,759 sports talk gets real kind of off the bench and 565 00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:42,119 with Hester and T Bob and Joe was heading y'all, 566 00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:47,200 welcome back to OTB. Shout out the killer Kaylin Teo 567 00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:52,279 getting their first perfect ten over the weekend. LSU gymnastics 568 00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:57,400 going into Auburn getting it done SEC regular season champs, 569 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,480 Now that that does much for him, but it is 570 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,680 worth noting. I mean, it's just a third time in 571 00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:07,759 program history that this very storied LSU program has been 572 00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:13,480 regular season champions. Of course, both them in Oklahoma end 573 00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:16,799 up seven and one overall, but of course LSU beating 574 00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:19,680 Oklahoma in they had to head. It's a first regular 575 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,839 season title in six years as well. Seventeen eighteen were 576 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,759 the last time they captured it. So, dude, this is 577 00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:29,119 speaking of a fun team to watch, and it's it's 578 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,119 actually insane that you have Hatley Briant and kayln Chio 579 00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,440 at the same time. This would almost be the equivalent 580 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,960 if you had had Joe Burrow directly hand the baton 581 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:43,720 off to Jaden Daniels with nobody in between. I mean, 582 00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:47,599 you are going Heisman to Heisman here with this LSU 583 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,400 gymnastics team, and obviously it goes way beyond that. But 584 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,319 it's been so fun. Man. My girls love it now, 585 00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:57,240 like they actually my four year old. I was shocked. 586 00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:01,200 Saturday morning, we we you know, we had a great 587 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,839 little workout brunch family thing, and then we get home 588 00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:09,400 and that's what my daughter asked to put on the TV. 589 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,640 Was the LSU Auburn meet for the night before. It's like, okay, 590 00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:15,039 hell yeah, dude, let's go. And they love it. It's like 591 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,279 so much fun watching sports of them and they care about, 592 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:20,680 not me just forcing them to watch football and them 593 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,400 getting bored in like thirty seconds. So shout out to 594 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,440 the LG gymnastics team inspiring the next generation as well 595 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,480 as just being damn good. 596 00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and now you get ready for the SEC Championships 597 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,119 coming up in Birmingham. 598 00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:36,279 Speaker 1: And for Jay, now he's. 599 00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:39,079 Speaker 2: Got to, you know, figure out exactly like how he 600 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,920 wants to play it. And that's what makes gymnastics unique 601 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,200 for us is because it's like, okay, well we we 602 00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:45,680 kind of know. 603 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: Here's what the scores got to be. 604 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:49,079 Speaker 2: It's got to be in this ballpark, here's how we 605 00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:51,519 want to format it, here's how the rotations are going 606 00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:54,160 to work. And there's so much that goes into it, 607 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,240 a lot of analytics to kind of go into it 608 00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,319 because of the scoring system that it is, and it's 609 00:30:58,319 --> 00:31:01,279 always fascinating when we have coach on the show and 610 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,720 him diving into exactly what they need. He's like, yeah, like, sure, 611 00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:06,839 the other team had more points than us, but we 612 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,839 you know, we did this and it's good for us. 613 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,880 And so as we know, like you just got to 614 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,599 qualify for the regionals, then you get to the championships, 615 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,839 and so it's always fascinating to catch up with Jay 616 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,599 during this time. 617 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: Uh, all right, Alandra, I want y'all to give me 618 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,599 your baseball takes, but first, Uh, you seem very fired 619 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,119 up about a Twitter post from Tennessee Baseball over the weekend. 620 00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:35,960 I kind of saw it. I don't remember exactly what 621 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,319 it was, like, some led lights going down in Lindsay 622 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,640 Nelson and watch somebody had the gumption to call Tennessee 623 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,319 the pinnacle of college baseball. How we feel about girl. 624 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. 625 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,039 Speaker 4: There's like this thing on Twitter right now where basically 626 00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:55,559 the entire Tennessee baseball fan base is calling themselves like 627 00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,839 the pinnacle of college baseball and that they made college 628 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,319 baseball relevant and all of this stuff. And I'm just like, 629 00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:05,079 you need a little more than one national championship to 630 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:08,559 be the pinnacle of college baseball, and your program has 631 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:11,079 to matter for more than I don't know, four or 632 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400 five years for you to also be the pinnacle of 633 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,119 college baseball. And I think it's pretty clear that also, 634 00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:21,400 the led lights on a baseball field looks stupid and 635 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,200 they are ugly and so like, I don't even really 636 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:24,759 care about that. 637 00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:26,119 Speaker 3: I think it looks really dumb. 638 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,279 Speaker 4: But to call yourself the pinnacle of college baseball when 639 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,160 you just became relevant in the sport, and also you 640 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,519 have one national championship, it's just dumb and not true 641 00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:37,839 and not true. 642 00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: It's sad because I liked them a lot more a 643 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,039 few years ago, Jake their first good year, I remember 644 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,279 doing a lot of Tennessee radio because LSU was running 645 00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:58,000 into him and whatnot. And I remember, you know, I 646 00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:00,559 felt a little kinship with him because I'm so one too. 647 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,799 Look growing up in the nineties, I grew up in Atlanta, right, 648 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:07,720 so I couldn't go to LSU baseball games. They weren't 649 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,039 available on TV like they are nowadays, So I never 650 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,839 had that great LSU baseball love. Like I knew my 651 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,759 grandpa loved it. He kind of talked about, you know, 652 00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:18,359 I remember the Natty's kind of a little bit maybe, 653 00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:24,160 but I was never into college baseball, and frankly it 654 00:33:24,279 --> 00:33:29,160 wasn't probably until about when I came back here to 655 00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:34,519 work again. I had to kind of learn I started 656 00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:36,400 to really pay attention to this sport. And let me 657 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,279 be clear, I have fallen head over heels again. You've 658 00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:44,319 heard me talk about it. The thirty sec game schedule 659 00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:47,599 with its beautiful rhythm, the three games every week, understanding 660 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,440 the Friday, Saturday Sunday Dynamics, a league in which is 661 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,359 filled with superstars, but it's not you know, it's sixteen teams, 662 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,759 so it's still digestible. You can keep track of how 663 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:03,759 everybody's doing. The the the memories and the tensions that 664 00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:08,639 I have from that national championship run are probably top 665 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,960 five sports memories of all time for me as a fan. Yeah, 666 00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:16,440 it is. It's like watching a team that you truly 667 00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:20,079 love and want to win in high leverage. Baseball is 668 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,559 one of the best feelings in all of sports and 669 00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:25,000 something that I knew as a kid, but I lost 670 00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:28,440 and then rediscovered it and even deepened it. So the 671 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,280 so I guess the point of all this is like 672 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,239 when Tennessee started to get good. I was kind of 673 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,760 commiserating with him. I was saying, look, I mean, it's fun, guys, right, like, 674 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,079 like you know, And they were being very honest about it. 675 00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:42,719 They're very earnest at the time and sincerere and they're like, yeah, man, 676 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,800 you know, yeah, we're we're new to this and and 677 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,679 it's fun. And of course at that time, their football 678 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,360 program still sucked, and so it's really the only bit 679 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,880 of relevance that they were desperately cleaning onto. And but 680 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,079 they were still kind of humble about it and cool 681 00:34:56,119 --> 00:35:00,480 about it. And then somewhere along the way they've just 682 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:04,000 completely lost their way. I guess it was finally breaking 683 00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,880 through and getting a ring. So we can no longer 684 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,559 call them the everything but a ring school. But yes, 685 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,039 they have instead of dying the hero, they have lived 686 00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:18,519 long enough to become the villain, right, they have become 687 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,559 the very thing that they decry in other sports. They 688 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,119 are like the Alabama fans of baseball now. So it's 689 00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:31,239 a it's sad to see these people that I once 690 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,920 liked are now about as insufferable as anybody else in 691 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,639 the SEC. 692 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, from really six to twenty eighteen, they were kind 693 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,840 of shat they were of good and Tony v in 694 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,239 his first year, he was twenty nine and twenty seven. 695 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,800 They're twelve and eighteen in the SEC, so they, you know, 696 00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:55,400 were still bad. In his first season, you didn't really 697 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,480 see too many signs of life. And in that nineteen season, 698 00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:00,559 I think the one you're talking about, the fourteen and 699 00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:03,760 sixteen in league play, forty and twenty one overall, and 700 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,039 then you had the COVID year. But I mean twenty 701 00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:09,800 twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, certainly twenty four. You 702 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,639 got to kind of tip your cap to them and 703 00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:13,880 what they've been able to do. But yeah, I mean, 704 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,079 I'm with the laundre to call yourself the pinnacle of 705 00:36:18,599 --> 00:36:22,440 college baseball when for a long period of time you 706 00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:23,880 just were not relevant at all. 707 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: Well, and I get it. It's a heady feeling that 708 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,760 they're going through because they have the championship and we 709 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,360 know how the hard defending the championship can be, and 710 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,639 they look like they're ready to defend it, like they 711 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,639 have been locked in all year long. They look like 712 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,440 probably the best team in the country at this point 713 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,719 in the season. They look like that, So I get it. 714 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,880 They're a bit high on their supply. But baseball, as 715 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,159 we all know, is a fickle mistress, okay, and failure 716 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,400 is always lurking in the bushes ready to grab you. So, okay, 717 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,000 call yourself the pinnacle, say whatever you gotta say. But 718 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,920 we all see here in a couple of months. Okay, 719 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,760 we're gonna see over the next nine more weeks now 720 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,079 that we get to watch and enjoy this wonderful SEC 721 00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:09,079 baseball schedule. 722 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 2: And they'll be in town the twenty fifth, the twenty sixth, 723 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,960 and the twenty seventh of April. Can't imagine that they 724 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,239 are going to get a quiet Alec Box stadium. 725 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: No, when they go to town, is that show them 726 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,559 who the pinnacle is?

But she didn't say with an attitude. 769 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:25,480 So I'll give her that. 770 00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: Drew. You've been You've been working, You've been working her 771 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,599 hard to get her over on our side, and I'm 772 00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:32,920 proud of you. You look, she just sounded very into 773 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,920 the show right there. 774 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 775 00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: Sure, Hey, God, I hate not being with you all 776 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,920 in studio, Elandra H Taylor, give me give me y'all's 777 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,239 baseball takes on the series over the weekend. 778 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if I'm just adding to what y'all said. Uh, 779 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,119 my biggest takeaway from this weekend was probably just the 780 00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:54,840 amount of free bases that we gave up and the 781 00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:59,239 walk to strike out ratio. On Saturday and Sunday a 782 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,519 little bit. So Friday night was awesome. Kate Anderson had 783 00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:05,880 eleven strikeouts. The walk to strike out ratio on Friday 784 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,519 was three to fifteen, and then then you had seven 785 00:40:08,559 --> 00:40:12,320 to eleven on Saturday and then six to twelve on Sunday. 786 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,719 And we just need to get a little more run 787 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,920 out of Ayansen and Shores before they start to kind 788 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,119 of fall apart a little bit. 789 00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 3: Because Kat Anderson went to the. 790 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 4: Sixth inning on Friday night, I think so like that's 791 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,719 a really deep run into the game and that really 792 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,400 helps your bullpen out. So if I had like one 793 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,519 thing from this weekend, it'd be just the amount of 794 00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:35,039 free bases that we gave up. I don't know how 795 00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:36,960 many batters we hit, but it was a little too 796 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,800 many for that too. 797 00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 5: For me, I'm gonna go uh, I'll do a positive 798 00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:45,320 takeaway that actually directly correlates to what a Loddra just said. 799 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,159 I liked that you're finding out who you can count 800 00:40:48,159 --> 00:40:50,440 on in the bullpen if your starters can't go for 801 00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:52,920 I mean, right now, you see guys on the right 802 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,519 handed side like Zach cow and Maverick Rizsey Case and 803 00:40:56,559 --> 00:40:58,960 Evans obviously in the back end, and then DJ Primo 804 00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:01,119 looks like a really good lef out of the pen 805 00:41:01,199 --> 00:41:03,199 as well. He's a guy that we wanted to see 806 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,920 coming into the year. So yeah, like you can, you 807 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,880 can take a good with a bad if we will. 808 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,480 I mean, I think I think we kind of summed 809 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,559 it up there, like you got to you gotta stop 810 00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:15,039 the walks, but your your bullpen came in and build 811 00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:16,000 you out multiple times. 812 00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 4: Well that's a good point real quick though, because Cason 813 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,880 Evans had the bases loaded and then struck out back 814 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,800 to back hitters and got us out the inning. So 815 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,559 stuff like that. Yes, positives come out of it. But 816 00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:28,760 if I had one thing. 817 00:41:28,599 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: That was it. Yeah, I mean again the bullpen. I 818 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,960 think Kokie did a great job in the Advocate today 819 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,639 providing some numbers on how yes, the bullpen wobbled, but 820 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,119 they kind of when their back was against the wall, 821 00:41:43,159 --> 00:41:46,440 they did a better job than I thought, just from 822 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,320 like watching the games kind of casually over the weekend. 823 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,960 So three and oh baby, again, that's the lead. Like 824 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,360 the nuance is fun to get into the discussion. Absolutely, 825 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,280 you need to be able to say here's where we 826 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,559 have room for improvement. But where you don't have room 827 00:42:03,559 --> 00:42:06,880 for improvement isn't the actual result. Because you're three zero perfect, 828 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,840 wee going to start SEC play a far cry from 829 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,119 last year. Where did you did you get sweat or 830 00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:15,960 did you scrape out Sunday last season maybe to start 831 00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:18,039 one and two. Either way, it felt like you were 832 00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:21,719 hitting the panic button at this time last season. An 833 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,599 excellent start for this year's l s U LSU baseball team. 834 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 2: Is that Cowen, somebody we hadn't talked about yet, and 835 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,239 he's going to be really valuable for LSU, Like in 836 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,559 multiple situations. 837 00:42:33,639 --> 00:42:35,079 Speaker 1: He can come in in different. 838 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,559 Speaker 2: Times if you needed him to spot start a game, 839 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,559 say something happens and somebody can't go like he feels 840 00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:44,920 like he is going to be really valuable, you know, goes. 841 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,159 Speaker 1: Multiple innings on Sunday as well. 842 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 2: That feels like somebody that Jay's going to be able 843 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,719 to utilize in so many different spots. 844 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 1: Jake, I know, I know you are on the opposite 845 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,880 side of this bunting debate of Matty and you know 846 00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:05,559 Nookie is let's just say, a bit obsessive when it 847 00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,079 comes to this as well, and he says, imagine not 848 00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:10,039 mentioning the punts. Well, but it is. I mean it 849 00:43:10,119 --> 00:43:12,239 is a good point you when like you did some 850 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,639 excellent small ball manufacturing at multiple times this week in 851 00:43:16,679 --> 00:43:17,840 Braswad what two of them? 852 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,039 Speaker 2: I don't even have to mention it because it's part 853 00:43:20,039 --> 00:43:23,280 of baseball for me, Like, I'm not gonna be like, 854 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,239 oh my gosh, what are they doing? I grew up 855 00:43:26,599 --> 00:43:29,119 watching Bobby Cox move the runner over. 856 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's part of baseball. Uh, but so I think 857 00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:36,320 there was one pop up. But but besides that, besides that, 858 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,199 a solid job of doing it in multiple ways. Right, 859 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,920 you got the power, Uh, but you gotta be able 860 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,840 to get Look, any great team is gonna be a 861 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,599 bit amorphous, right. I always think about the old Bruce 862 00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:52,360 Lee quote, be like water, Right, what does water do? 863 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,039 It takes the shape of the container that it's in. 864 00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:58,039 So the more you can do, the more ways you 865 00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:01,559 can find to have some sess that's going to prepare 866 00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:04,039 you for any situation that can get thrown thrown at 867 00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:04,719 you down the road. 868 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,760 Speaker 2: Last year, real quick, you did lose two of three 869 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,880 against Mississippi State to open it up. You lost the 870 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,000 first game, won the second, lost the third fifteen. 871 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,679 Speaker 1: To five oh yeah, oh yeah, got okay, so you 872 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,079 just got yeah.
