Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go from a championship backfield to your morning drive. Han'sday,
Hester and Hester got it? Fatta Pa, You're locked in
to off the bench back to troll the live from
the Raising Kine studio. Here's Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Forgot the hewl, but forget it into the perspective.
Speaker 3: Is there a she wolf in your closet?
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means? Shakira asked a question,
so I thought i'd ask it. Is that what she
says in that song? She? Yeah? Right, okay, right right? Lad?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, okay, nice. No, there's not I don't even
know what it means. But well either, good morning, let's good.
Speaker 2: Morning, Jake plan Elandra Tata all here with you on
this checks to watch Thursday Morning a Landra.
Speaker 4: I saw it yesterday. You kept in my blooper from
the promo? Yeah, yeah, I just like, oh, what day
is that?
Speaker 5: I did keep it?
Speaker 3: I heard that this morning. It's a nice word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really turned out pretty nice.
Speaker 6: I thought it was funny, it's very professional.
Speaker 3: It was very thought.
Speaker 5: It was also in brand, so.
Speaker 3: I didn't hear yet, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: He's He went to do the promo yesterday. He was like,
join us, what's tomorrow?
Speaker 4: Like, wait, what's tomorrow? She kept it in there. Good
job he didn't around here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a couple. It's hard to find them,
but I got a few.
Speaker 2: Well, it's hard to keep track of what day it
is when you're a stitchhead and you're watching Mexico and Italy.
Speaker 3: It was absolutely locked in.
Speaker 4: I mean USA just absolutely dominated last night and they
didn't even play.
Speaker 3: Well technically they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all those players for Italy or American, but they did,
and they advanced thanks to Team Italy.
Speaker 3: And Benny hitting three bombs.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I was celebrating after they hit Italy got the.
Speaker 4: Five runs yesterday, Yeah, because in my brain I just
figured the math had worked out because Italy either had
to win or Mexico had too or five runs or more.
But then I was like, I celebrated, a texted the group,
and then I started looking at the social media's people
trying to calculate, and they're like, well, there's a certain
amount of extra innings they could potentially go to that
could still keep USA out because it's the amount of
runs given up divide about the number of defensive outs.
So the more defensive outs you got, the less that
number had become. So but Italy did it. They just
kept on scoring. Yeah, they just kept on scoring.
Speaker 2: They got out a.
Speaker 3: Couple of saved. Mark de Ros's rear in USA's manager.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was trying to deny a little bit too, like,
come on, man, you went to pin. Yeah, you're smart,
we know it. And like, in his defense, the rules
are fairly confusing.
Speaker 2: Well, I was stelling Katie that yesterday, like kind of
the situations. He's like, so nobody on his staff let
him know that that was wrong, Like, nobody in the
building told him you actually didn't qualify.
Speaker 3: I was like, that's a good point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one really checked him because I think that
press conference was like a day or two before the game,
or maybe it was the day before. I can't remember it,
but it wasn't like right before the game, so no
one was like, hey, you know, you're not in it
like after that.
Speaker 2: So no one knew the rules.
Speaker 4: Until it became relevant and then they lost and they're like, wait, maybe.
Speaker 2: We should check the rule them.
Speaker 3: Maybe we should check the rules now that we lost
to Italy.
Speaker 2: Yeah that was was.
Speaker 3: It y'all that sent the social media post yesterday?
Speaker 4: I can't wait till seven pm so I can watch
the Italian Americans play the Mexican Americans and hopefully it benefits.
Speaker 2: The American Americans. I got a good kick out of
that one. That was good.
Speaker 3: Now you get to face Canada. Yeah, that's a win.
Speaker 2: Now. I don't like Canada beach in baseball. Oh yeah,
you can't do that. That's see.
Speaker 3: That would be the old may get back. That'd be
the get back game.
Speaker 8: It would look you remember you were road coaches used
to used to write in a W for you before
the season even started, when you were playing right in
the W You're good?
Speaker 6: What's Canada beating you at lately? You've been hot?
Speaker 4: That's like, who Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
This is the get right game for Canada. Like, this
couldn't have worked out any better. This is our sport.
It's a no lose situation for them. Oh god, I
don't know if I like this anymore. Mmm, they ain't
gonna get right USA. You don't talk yourself into it.
What feeling good about it? I feel great about it
because it's USA, and we're gonna go all the way.
Speaker 2: It's what Gordon bomb Bay said. So I think believe
that game is gonna be Friday. My accurate on this, Dude,
You're the stitch head Friday. I'm just gonna say it
with confidence. Say, I'm a chest out USA Canada.
Speaker 5: It's Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I feel like we just had one of
those two we did in February.
Speaker 4: Wow, good for us. Yeah in February. Yeah, this is
a this is a too much streak?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah we did. Because has this ever happened thirteenth?
I mean in modern day, I'm sure I don't feel
like because I wore number thirteen in high school and
everybody always like said it was an unlucky number. Hotels
didn't have thirteenth floors, the whole deal. Ye, So I
looked forward to Friday the thirteenth just to have some
good pub for thirteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and happen very often. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I often look for back to back. I got this
T shirt I bought in college, maybe it was post college.
It's who's the Who's the Friday the thirteenth is a
Mike Myers.
Speaker 5: J she married Mike Myers a Shrek.
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, Michael, Halloween smart. So Jason, it's this
little cartoon.
Speaker 2: Jason and he's looking at the calendar and it says
Friday the twelfth, and he's looking all sad.
Speaker 3: I always look for Friday the twelve shirt.
Speaker 6: I like that shirt I.
Speaker 2: Did. Yeah, I mean what expensive. I mean, you'd be shocked.
Why are you in Spencer's now?
Speaker 4: This was like when internet shopping just started to becoming
real hot, real popular. This is either in college or
immediately after college. Maybe I had some fresh funds in
my pocket from the pastors. I think I was. It
was probably like a round Halloween too, so I was
getting ready. But I've never really worn that shirt on
Friday the twelfth because I either can't ever find it
or just miss it. So if we ever hit a
show on Friday the twelfth, shooting will reminder on the eleventh, you.
Speaker 8: Got a scout where the closet a shirt for you?
Speaker 7: Well, why don't you wear it tomorrow since it's literally Friday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the shirt says Friday the twelve.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, Jason is sad at the count Miss
m HM and he's got a knife in the same.
Speaker 6: That's a good that's a good shirt.
Speaker 2: It's a good shirt.
Speaker 3: I like the shirt, Thank you.
Speaker 5: I just wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad shirt.
Speaker 5: I can't judge at all.
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, I told you twenty five percent of the time,
I'm out of here.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: The only part about the shirt it's kind of weird
is you're a professional football player. Well what did you do?
You bought? You bought skinny jeans.
Speaker 3: You get that shirt.
Speaker 2: You were you about the jeans that.
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, costs a lot of money
to look this cheap that holes in them, super tight area,
a whole ankles tight tight ankle too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the butt are is always going to be tight.
That's just that is what it is. You know, it's
not me, that's the lord, your tailor. You were like,
you know what I mean. It's snug on the ankle,
but I think we can go tighter. You think I
wanted to depression when I take these things off. That
was a big cowboy boot go when I first got
into the league, Tony Lamas, those used.
Speaker 7: To be the boot I know, I love, I feel
like they're not really Yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Don't really don't.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like are like Takoba's, I know, yeah,
what's the other one they got a little too expensive?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so.
Speaker 7: Like yeahlu case Yeah, yeah yeah lu Casey's.
Speaker 3: But lu Casey also last year till you're like I
was just about to say, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he'll be your most comfortable shoot that you want.
Speaker 8: We were in we were in the Yellowstone a few
years ago store in Montana was a big lu Casey
store and Victoria's like, while you going in there, you're
gonna buy nothing in there?
Speaker 6: I was like, I just want to see how much
they are.
Speaker 8: They were like a lot, like thousand dollars in boot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I graduated, my dad bought me a pair
of ostrich skins lu Casey's when I graduated high school
going to college, and he was like these are bo
You're going to have like your whole life. And sure
enough they are still comfortable as they've ever been.
Speaker 5: Hated to see those boots.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't wear my boots a lot anymore. When the
Bogeys bouncers saw those are like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have a lot of I don't have
like a lot of boot cut pants, right anymore? So,
like the pants have changed over the years, right, so
they used to be a little bit bad here, I've like,
like the styles shifted more towards the tighter pants you
can't really wear.
Speaker 2: No, I don't have skinny came into this conversation making
fun of my pants, But okay.
Speaker 4: Yours are like one hundred percent cotton leggings though, denim leggings.

Will June will have Friday of the twelfth month of
the year. You better find that shirt now, I know.

Speaker 2: June twenty birthday.
Speaker 6: How much you'll think this lu Casey boot is right here.

Speaker 2: You feel better immediately, Go flow ivy go flow ivspot
dot com. All right, So yesterday at four eastern three century,
we had the official start of the league year. So
all the signings that we've talked about, we've seen, those
are officially official now once you pass your physical as
we well know now as well any trades, any of
that thing. So you could agree to terms, but it
has to wait until yesterday to be official. Also, guys
that we've known are going to be released, well that
is official yesterday as well. So there's a couple of
veteran quarterbacks that were officially released.
Speaker 3: I never understood that.
Speaker 4: Why can't you officially release somebody till the league year
starts that's currently under contract. It seems a little weird.
I don't know that's a fair question. I feel like
he can't sign.
Speaker 2: There's there's all like there's like post June first cuts.
It's like, yeah, but he's cutting. He signed with another team, right,
but he's like currently serving out his current contract. You
should be able to release some through sixty five. Yeah,
And a lot of these moves are to save you know,
because technically the league year doesn't start, so you're based
off last year's deal. You played last year with the team,
and so like now it starts a new year, so
that that new year, that contract starts yesterday, and so
you get released. So Kirk Cousins officially got released by
the Atlanta Falcons, and then Kyler Murray officially got released
by the Arizona Cardinals. The Minnesota Vikings are a team
that apparently is pretty aggressive and trying to get Kyler
Murray to Minneapolis.
Speaker 4: Actually, I believe he is visiting either today or certainly
this week, but that is the number one target. So
I've heard a lot of the national folks talking about
it to know some inside information from up there, like
if you're gonna put a percent percentage chance at Kyler
Murray is the quarterback for the Vikings next year, it
probably is gonna start with a nine right now. So
something pretty bad has to happen. They've kind of circled
him as of right now to be that guy, because
look like Kyler Murray has you you talk about him,
people think about him like six months ago and they
just kind of laugh at his career at this point.
You know, he's got the short person memes, He's like
got all these things. Those you hadn't seen those, yeah,
for sure, But what he's done in his career certainly
hadn't been spectacular, but he's been pretty good and something
and even good at certain points during his career.
Speaker 2: You look at what he's done up to this point.
Speaker 4: His career to this point has been better than Sam
Darnold's career was to that point, Baker Mayfield's career was
at that point. Daniel Jones for sure up to that point.
Speaker 3: So why not?
Speaker 4: He certainly has the talent to do it. Yeah, going
to a guy they call a quarterback whisper. You go
to a team that is is really good now I know,
gonna lose a lot, but also has been very good.
They were a serviceable QB away from being in the
playoffs last year. I think they won nine games and
maybe detrimental like detrimental quarterback play, like such bad quarterback
play that they organization said, our second year, first round pick,
we're just we don't want to play.
Speaker 3: We're done.
Speaker 2: We're down with him, like.
Speaker 4: We've seen what we need to see. He didn't even
play his first year. He was hurt a portion of
this year. But we're we're good. I think we're This
experiment's over, which who does that with a first round quarterback?
After the second your first forty year and.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are asking, Yeah, but that's not
you know, Kevin O'Connell's system, like for Kyler Murray. No,
Kevin o'connells was going to a football coach where he'll
come up with a system that you know what I mean,
He'll he'll have a player and he'll be like, hey,
we'll utilize what this player does really well within our
system will change it.
Speaker 3: Every coach has a system that has a little bit
of everything in it.
Speaker 2: So just because a.
Speaker 4: Quarterback has a little bit different skill set, and by
that mean I mean running like that, that's what people
are talking about, Like he's never had a running quarterback,
a guy that can do that well. I mean even
the quarterbacks that take off running and we think of
as running quarterbacks, that's not what they're there to do
first at any position. Forever, we thought of Lamar Jackson
as that type of quarterback. So he can only make
plays with his feed. He's got a serviceable arm. But
then you look at the stats are like, oh, well
he runs very little actually, but it's just when he does,
he makes the most of it. So that's the kind
of quarterback that you want that has that type of
skill set, so right, you know, it's that's always especially
at that level. Now in college, you can start saying
that because you bring in like the read option, the
zone reads, you like, you bring in different types of
plays that you just don't see in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Outside of those two players, Kirk Cousins. Cousins feels like
somebody that at this point, may he can go to
an Arizona and maybe be a bridge quarterback.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Jacobe Brsick kind of don't actually play well.
Speaker 4: I don't wish that on Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins should
play this as any older veteran quarterback should in this situation, which.
Speaker 2: Is just hang out for a second.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4: Just take a deep breath, don't rush, don't sign with
anybody this week, don't sign with anybody this month, Wait
till after the draft, Wait till offseason, wait till OTAs
and many camps, and hell, maybe even wait till training camp,
because an opportunity will arise, and Kirk Cousins has been
in enough offensive enough schemes that he'll be able to
plug in pretty quickly two weeks he'll be able to
don't go sign with the Cardinals right now, wait for
something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: You never know.
Speaker 4: I agree, you could be the quarterback for the Seahawks
bar and injury at you know, come come August or September,
like you just never really know.
Speaker 2: What does this mean for your guy, Aaron Rodgers? Is
he Steelers are done? Probably? I would say Steelers are
done unless something crazy happens. Now, that could be a
fit for Kirk Cousins. If Aaron decides to be done, Yeah,
that could be a that could be a quick fit
and quick fix. What did I just say quick fit?
Don't even know what that is. It's not a word.
We're just tough final, especially this time of the day.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I was like, I was thinking Kirk Cousins
could be a fit to the Steelers if a Rodgers
doesn't plan it pin out. But yeah, at this point,
it does kind of look like for Aaron Rodgers, it's Steelers.
Speaker 2: Are Yeah, it feels like it's either gonna be Steelers
are always going to be Steelers, or get that hand
jacket in five years. Right. So ESPN dot Com put
out a list of the top ten remaining free agency.
Speaker 3: A couple of the highlights on here.
Speaker 2: She Walker tackle from Green Bay's number one, Kyler Murrays
number two, Juwan Jennings number three, Taylor Decker offensive tackle
from the Lion's number four, Stefon Diggs at five, Joey
Bosa at number six. Some other highlights we mentioned Aaron
Rodgers at nine, Kirk Cousins at ten, Deebo Samuel at eleven,
and then you go down and you find a Cam
Jordan at number twenty two, Hollywood Brown at twenty three,
Bobby Wagner at twenty nine.
Speaker 3: So, guys we've talked about here.
Speaker 2: The Cam Jordan one is very interesting because there's a
lot of edge russers that have gotten one year deals.
There's a lot of edge rushers that I've gotten a
lot of money that did not have the production that
Cam Jordan had a year ago. So what does the
market look like for Camp Jordan? I know his age,
he's gonna be thirty seven years old in the twenty
twenty six season, but again, he wants to play. He's
missed one game in his entire career and he just
had ten and a half sacks. Guy, Guys that had
seven sacks getting twelve million per year on a one
year deal. They're younger, cool, but production is production. I'm
surprised Cam Jordan if he's not going to come back
and play for the new Orledan Saints, which is still
a possibility. I'm surprised that more teams haven't been interested
in adding a player that wants to play. Just had
ten and a half sacks even though he's thirty seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you look at production, you're surprised. But I mean,
the age thing is is a real conversation that people
have and right, right or wrong. They're like, Okay, he
had ten and a half sacks last year, that's awesome,
it's great. It's impressive to what you're doing. But at
some point you got you're weighing your risk versus rewards. Well,
you're signing people to ten plus million dollars.
Speaker 2: I think you give him a deal where it's like
you're gonna get eight million guaranteed that you can make
up to thirteen million incentives. Now Cam might be saying, no, yeah, right,
give me he never we don't hear a teen million guarantee.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just see the end result, right, we don't
know the conversation. So like, why isn't he getting offers,
Well maybe he is. And look, the league you're just
opened yesterday, so it's like you can sign for quite
a while.
Speaker 2: That's what you know. You get. You get all this news.
You get this influx of news in the NFL, and
it's exciting and there's these emotional highs, like you got
these bad teams making all these moves and like you
feel good about it and.
Speaker 4: You're like, oh my god, Wow, we're gonna be really
good next year. Well you forget about like the league
year has been open for less than twenty four hours.
It's a long, long league year. What day free agency
did you sign your deal with Seattle? I was like
a week or two after?
Speaker 2: Oh were you? Because like your agent always tells you, okay,
there's day one a free agency, which is your top names.
It was day two of free agency, which is the
guys that waited around to see how Day one went.
And there's day three, which are starters, guys that help
NFL teams. But they're never going to be like the
first two days of free agency. Your name might not
end up on the homepage VSPN dot com, right, but
they're still starting guys in the NFL. And then like
they're and there's kind of like a way that free
agency's done. And I remember being a free agent for
the first time thinking like, holme, my guys, day one,
I hadn't got to call. My agent's like, hey, chill,
you'll get one, Like it'll be three or four days,
Like they're gonna get to you basically yep. And like
but as a player, you're like, oh, my god's day one,
Like I hadn't got a call yet. They start to
panic a little bit because you see like all your
buddies and all these people you played against, like I'm
better than that guy. He got a deal. It's just
there's a wave of free agency and depending on where
you're at, that's when you get your call.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and going into it throughout the off season, you
know it is what it is. We all know how
like everything kind of turned out. But at that time,
like my name was, I was kind of at the
top top of the list on quarterbacks as free agents,
and I'm getting close to it and so I'm like, man,
this is gonna be awesome. Then all of a sudden,
like as it hit all of a sudden, my name
just disappeared because unrestricted free agent Peyton Manning was there,
and so it was like all these teams, yeah I
heard him. So all these teams that we had kind
of highlighted potential landing spots, they were all trying to
go after Peyton and then they get Peyton.
Speaker 2: Obviously dumb move idiots, but yeah, they were trying to
so they wanted to see how that situation panned out.
Then once that panned out, then it was like, okay,
next on the list. Let's now now that that point
I started doing my visits, right, So I think if
I remember, right, like Whateverason, they thought Peyton was better
than me, like and that it's like you know, Homer's
each just on Denver, Tennessee, San Francisco. I'm trying to remember,
like all the places that were interested in Peyton. Miami,
Miami had a billboard.
Speaker 6: Yeah, was a big one.
Speaker 2: In Arizona.
Speaker 3: Turned out pretty good for me, Yeah, turned out pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know why what made him go there, but
it has At the time, he had a neck injury,
and I know there was a lot of like there
was a lot of treatment there that was not that
was available in Colorado that wasn't available in other places.
I actually went there and got a lot of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of the reasons for sure. And
then you know, being intrigued by Elway and they made
the playoffs with Tim Tebow as their quarterback. And no
slight to Tim, but they're like, if we can you know,
if we can get to this point with Tim as
our quarterback, imagine what we can do with Peyton. I'm
not that's That's just the way it played out, Bud.
And then Peyton set the record for like yards passing
in his first year there, so pretty good. Yeah, I
should have done them to the fullback war he had
had even more.
Speaker 8: But well, I was about to say they they signed
Peyton knowing that they were like, this is gonna track
Jacob out Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Guy. That was the same year.
Speaker 4: But you talk about the age drop off. This first
year in Denver a set records. Second year in Denver,
they won the Super Bowl basically in spite of him.
He did that, wouldn't it, wouldn't say. I think it
was the fourth year that he was there.
Speaker 2: Now. So the second year they got crushed by Seattle. Oh,
because I was on the team at the beginning of
the year and I was like yes, Seattle, them punks
cut me. I didn't want to settle to win. IM
sure you didn't. I didn't want them to win for
the same reason I might have had the jersey. I'm
still cheering against them that.
Speaker 3: Twenty thirteen you were would Yeah. Yeah, that's I saying, yeah.
Speaker 2: You're right.
Speaker 6: His fourth year was the Super Bowl year.

Speaker 2: Pala group dot com. All right, SEC baseball starts this weekend,
and so just real quick before we get to uh,
probably the next couple of segments, LSU and in Vanderbilt,
give you an idea of where everybody sits in the SEC.
Speaker 3: Now we were talking about a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 2: Line told you Texas off to a great start sixteen
and oh, I lost the game and looked real good
doing so. All right, so they're sixteen and oh Texas
A and M right now fifteen and one, winners of
six in a row. Kentucky fifteen and two winners of
ten in a row, Mississippi State fifteen and two winners
of four in a row, Missouri fifteen and two winners
of thirteen in a row, Oklahoma fifteen and two winners
of five in a row, the Auburn Tigers fourteen and
two winners of seven in a row. Alabama fifteen and three.
They have won six in a row, Florida fifteen and
three they've won two in a row. Georgia fifteen and three,
they've won four in a row. Oh Miss fifteen and three,
they've lost one. Tennessee thirteen and four, one win, LSU
one win, thirteen and five, Arkansas twelve and five, they've
lost two in a row. South Carolina twelve and six
they lost their last time out. And Vanderbilt eleven and seven,
and they've only won their last game out. So no
winning streak for Vanderbilt either. So LSU thirteen and five,
Vanderbilt eleven and seven towards the bottom.
Speaker 8: Imagine at the beginning of the year, you're like LSU,
Arkansas and Vandy or three of the bottom four teams.
Speaker 6: Nobody would Nobody would have said that was gonna happen.
It's just been a weird year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Man, Missouri and Kentucky some of the best teams
so far in the nine con Now Landra certainly watch
a lot of SEC teams and kind of know SEC
baseball better than any of us.
Speaker 3: Is some of this because of maybe who they've played?
Speaker 2: Is some of this going to change once we get
started this weekend in conference play?
Speaker 3: Is there some fools gold maybe in these standings?
Speaker 7: So I am certified Texas A and M hater and
I don't want to like them. I haven't watched a
lot of Texas A and M, but it feels like
even last year they.
Speaker 5: They were bad last.
Speaker 3: Year and then they can high expectation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then they had to like win out the
SEC tournament to make it to the postseason or something
like that. But I mean, I think they were ranked
like in the top twenty five coming in.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 7: Texas is really on fire right now, and yeah, they're
playing lesser teams, but everybody is right. Yeah, I think
Missouri is the one that's gonna probably end up being
the one that's maybe a little fools gold. But I
haven't looked at their schedule too much. But Texas is
just dominating right now, and they're going to open up
the season versus somebody who also looks really good right now,
Ole Miss.
Speaker 5: They both have really good pitching.
Speaker 7: Ole Miss and Texas do, so they're going to be
fun to watch if you want to watch something when
you're not watching LSU versus Vanderbilt.
Speaker 5: But I don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm excited for the Conference play as an entirety to
start Kentucky, you know, is always going to be in
the conversation because Man Jones, great coaches, Helly, they have
the small ball and situational hitting down to the science.
So they're always going to be in the conversation. They're
always going to be a team to look out for
in the SEC.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I kind of like the way they play.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like the way they play too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a little old school, little throwback. Yeah, infect
your runs anyway you can.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta win, however, you have to win, and
he found a way to do it. So that's the
philosophy they have.
Speaker 2: Missouri.
Speaker 3: Missouri's opponents have been great.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Their weekend series have been against Mount Saint Mary's New Haven.
Speaker 5: Devin Shearon came from there.
Speaker 2: They had okay, yeah, yeah, they had a series, uh
two game series against Arkansas Pine Bluff, uh, North Dakota State,
University of Illinois Chicago a four game series with them,
and then they just played Southern Indiana.
Speaker 3: Uh in the midweeks.
Speaker 6: Well, these are colleges, yes, ok.
Speaker 2: Look, and I we can't go too much here. I
just remember between Northeastern Sacramento.
Speaker 5: State, Missouri had not won not a single game, and
then what happened.
Speaker 8: They swept Texas A and M the end the season. Yeah,
oh yeah, right, that's why I'm not worried about guys.
It's Texas A and M. Right, they're going they're going
to collapse. It's a sport where they keep score. They're
going to underachieve. It's Texas A and M. Yeah, they
were hot at the beginning of the last year.
Speaker 3: Well the last year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, they were actually terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were supposed to be them one team in
the country, and then they started out horrid.
Speaker 5: That's why when we dropped the series to them, we
were like, oh, well they.
Speaker 6: Picked it up at the back cap. But then Missouri
after that, well Missouri was just terrible.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna give a team to watch out
for that.
Speaker 3: I think it's the real deal.
Speaker 2: That's not going to be a part of many conversations
because of how good Texas and others have looked. Nah,
because I mean they're supposed to be like, yeah, that's fair,
you know, like that's their main sport. Like I always
expect them to be good. The Auburn Tigers. It's not
for everybody. Kind of like Kentucky. But I liked the
way they were scrappy a year ago. Yeah, I like
they They surprised a lot of people a year ago.
Speaker 3: When you say it's not for everybody, what do you
mean by that?
Speaker 2: Like, So for Kentucky, there is going to be some
small ball elements. You're going to bunt runners over, You're
gonna be very aggressive on the base pass steal a lot. Yeah,
you're trying to manufacture runs any possible way you can.
So for you, like you like a brand of baseball
where it's dangers, I like steals? Well, okay, well I've
heard I just like things that are exciting.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 2: You don't have a drop that talks about steals. You
have a drop that talks about hitting dangers. Right, So
like for you, if that's the brand of baseball that
you like, gorilla ball, you're not gonna like watching Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Hitting runs, sez you might like. I like standard bunt though,
just Bundy guy over to get on second.
Speaker 2: Okay, they do a lot of that, you know what, Well,
they actually they'll steal in the second move in the.
Speaker 4: Third, but second to third's okay. N The second week
not as weak as the sliding glove.
Speaker 5: But no, I hate his sliding.
Speaker 3: I mean, who made that popular?
Speaker 6: A baker? It's an oven Mitt, that's man.
Speaker 3: I got a fun police out today.
Speaker 2: Huh it's not fun.

the sliding.

bad as the backwards out. Ooh, that's big for you,
