1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: Ragion Cagen's baseball is dominated in their regional opener against Cincinnati.

2
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:28,600
Let's recap it here on Raging Rundownty. What's good, ladies

3
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,000
and gentlemen, and welcome into another episode here on Rage

4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,960
and Rundown, the show where you will know all things

5
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,719
UL sports. I'm your guy, JaMarcus Fitzpatrick, but you know

6
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:38,359
you can always call me fits. And on tonight's episode,

7
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,200
we will be recapping Louisiana Baseball's twelve to two loss

8
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,759
against the Cincinnati Bearcats in a game in the Starkville Regional.

9
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,880
That was the opener for them, and it was a

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,840
lot of excitement. Fans showed up and they were in

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,200
for a treat. Early on, it looked like UL was

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,000
really gonna make some noise, but then quickly Cincinnati flipped

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,520
the momentum on its head, took over the game and

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,879
never looked back. So, as we always do, we'll go

15
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:08,200
through game flow, we'll talk about the game, We'll talk

16
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:12,319
about Cincinnati's Jack Natilli.

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,799
Speaker 2: I think I'm pronouncing his name correctly, just the.

18
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: Phenomenal night that he had at the plate, the way

19
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:21,560
that he was able to set the table for them

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,040
for the rest of the night, and we'll hear from

21
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:28,319
heady coach mad Dix and also first baseman Liamede from postgame,

22
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:30,760
the postgame press conference. I was not able to physically

23
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,159
be in there because I was doing my day job

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,200
with KTC doing a live shot on TV. By the

25
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:38,000
time we were done tearing everything down, they were already

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,400
going loaded the buses up, all those things like that.

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,200
I'll play out the postgame press conference in its entirety

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,840
on the show here. You'll hear that just in a

29
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:50,319
little bit. So coming into this game, Louisiana re entered

30
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,079
the top twenty five as the twenty fifth ranked team

31
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,799
in the country according to d one Baseball. Cincinnati was

32
00:01:55,879 --> 00:01:58,079
number twenty four, so we were in for a top

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,319
twenty five matchup that was projected to be a treat.

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,920
We knew that Cincinnati could hit the baseball really, really well,

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,640
and they proved it. We knew that Louisiana baseball could

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,439
pitch really well, and they proved it early on. To

37
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:15,039
start things off in the first inning, Louisiana would be

38
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,240
up first to bat and Liamede. After Noah Lewis would

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,039
be walked, Liamede would single to write and that would

40
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:27,000
allow Noah Lewis to eventually come around after a fielding

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,960
era happens in the outfield b Noah Lewis comes in,

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,080
Liamede comes all the way around to third base and

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,199
they score first.

44
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:36,479
Speaker 2: They go up one to nothing.

45
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:39,719
Speaker 1: And then after that there was a little bit of

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,840
a hiccup in the base running. I would say, Colate

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Brown comes up to bat and it's a fielder's choice situation.

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,479
Liamede instantly takes off. He gets caught up in a

49
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,000
chase down and he's eventually tagged out. Colt Brown hits

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,080
the second, but Liamede would have been there at third base.

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,319
Speaker 2: He didn't need to take off in that instance.

52
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: It's a little of a hiccup in a moment by

53
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:03,840
a veteran player that I know that they wish they

54
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,439
would have had back. Obviously, maybe one or two more

55
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:09,159
plays could have helped to make the difference. But still

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Cincinnati hit six home runs, so maybe it wouldn't have.

57
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:15,439
So you get out of that inning, you're up one

58
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:20,000
to nothing. Cincinnati responds. They hit the first of home

59
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,639
runs in the second inning. The bottom of the second

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,080
inning is where Jack Natili would hit his first home

61
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:28,599
run of the night, a solo home run tied it

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,879
up at one apiece, and then after that you kind

63
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,479
of went cold offensively pretty much for the rest of

64
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,080
the night. The next run that you would score for

65
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:39,240
the Cajuns would be in the top of the seventh inning,

66
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:45,000
but from there Cincinnati would absolutely dominate. Cody Brash would

67
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:47,960
get to start for you on the bump, and he

68
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:50,719
had been as dominant as we've seen as a closer

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800
and also as a starter, and this was really the

70
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
first time that he was kind of thumped around a

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,000
little bit as a player as a pitcher in this instance,

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080
aadtimp to Cincinnati for figuring him out and then being

73
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,240
able to just continue to run away with things with

74
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400
the ability that they were able to hit the home run.

75
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:12,439
So you get to the bottom of the fourth hitting

76
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,120
you get a home run, a two run jack that

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,240
makes it three to one. You get a triple that

78
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:21,920
makes it four to one, and then another two run

79
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,439
homer makes it six to one. So now you're in

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,879
a tough situation. You definitely need some momentum swing, but

81
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:30,959
you go ground out, strike out, strike out. In the

82
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,160
top of the fifth. They come back in the bottom

83
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,160
they homer. They go up seven to one. Natilly HiT's

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,680
a two run jack. They go up nine to one,

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,480
and after that, at some point Cody Brash would be

86
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,319
taken out after the first home run. In the bottom

87
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:51,079
of the fifth, your Carter comes in, he walks a batter,

88
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,759
he gets a strikeout, he gives up the two run homer.

89
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:56,040
He gets the ground out, and then a hit by

90
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:58,879
pitch and then a walk, and then J. R. Tillett

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,800
comes in. He eventually finishes the game out for you,

92
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,399
but the damage had been pretty much done at that

93
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,959
point altogether. So it would be nine to one. You

94
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:09,040
get to the top of the sixth, you go ground out,

95
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
pop out, you single, and you ground out again.

96
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: They get an RBI single, they go up ten to one.

97
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:16,759
Then again in the.

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,399
Speaker 1: Top of the seventh, Black I mentioned that's where you

99
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,120
finally scored again. Maddix Mendino comes in, He pinch hits

100
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:25,759
and he scores an RBI on a single, driving in

101
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,040
Donovan LaSalle and made it ten to two, and that

102
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:33,040
would pretty much be the end of the game until

103
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,399
he would hit his third home run in the bottom

104
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:37,879
of the eighth, another two run jack for him.

105
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: Three home runs on the night, and Louisiana loses this

106
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:47,000
game twelve to two. Like I said, you.

107
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: Talk about power home run hitting, it gets no better

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,240
than what we saw on the night. Six home runs

109
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,240
and most of their hitting coming from the long ball.

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: They had twelve hits. Excuse me, they have fourteen hits.

111
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: They scored twelve runs, and they figured out the combination

112
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:08,560
of pitches that you were throwing. No matter who the

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,319
picture was, they figured it out quick enough before you

114
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,120
could get runs to support it. And behind it. I

115
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:19,439
constantly kind of keep up with runners being stranded and things,

116
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,680
little nuggets and moments like that. Louisiana did strand three

117
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:26,199
base runners in the contest. But I think even in

118
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,680
driving some of those guys in, if they continue to

119
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,680
hit those type of home runs, you still are going

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,480
to lose this game. Bottom line, they figured out what

121
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,959
your pitchers were bringing to the table and they were

122
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,759
able to just launch it out of the ballpark. So

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,519
you just have to figure out another combination of how

124
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,680
to get better pitches from your pitchers to make it

125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,079
harder for those really talented batters and not allow them

126
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,439
to be able to find that sequence out and be

127
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,800
able to hit home runs. That's what it really comes

128
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,720
down to their decisive fourth hitting is really what made

129
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,160
the deal diference and what you only can hope because

130
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,079
based on what coach Day said, Andrew Herman threw a

131
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,279
lot during the Sundel Tournament, so we're going to see

132
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:12,639
ty Roman tomorrow. What you can only hope for is

133
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560
that going forward you can get early enough run support.

134
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:16,759
Speaker 2: You got it to start off.

135
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:19,079
Speaker 1: You had a great spark, the dominate gets a single

136
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,879
and that error happens there in the outfield.

137
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: Noah Lewis was quick enough to.

138
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Be able to come all the way around home and

139
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:26,199
lead out on his force as well and got you

140
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,240
there to third base.

141
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,639
Speaker 2: But you can't leave base runner stranded.

142
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,959
Speaker 1: You can't get caught up in the rundown in that

143
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,160
situation there in the first when you were there on

144
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:39,759
third base. Those little things like that is the difference

145
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,879
in what can keep this game being from twelve to

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,879
two to maybe a nine to five, eight to six

147
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,160
or anything like that.

148
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: And who knows what could potentially happen from there.

149
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:54,319
Speaker 1: Like I said, you had some missed opportunities there leaving

150
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,879
base runner stranded, and that ultimately puts you in a

151
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,560
position where your pitch sure knew he had to be

152
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,639
absolutely perfect because the run support was not following in

153
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,480
behind that, and so it puts you in a tough situation.

154
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,040
So now it's time to hit from head coach mad Diggs.

155
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:13,800
I'm gonna take a quick time out. Before we do,

156
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,600
we'll hear from him and Liamede and its entirety. We'll

157
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:25,360
hear it all when we come back here on Raging Rundown. Hey, guys,

00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,759
conference out in its entirety so you can hear the

170
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,360
questions and the answers that they gave. It's about six

171
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:02,720
and a half seven minutes in its entirety, So just

172
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,759
hang tight and listen to everything. We'll react to some

173
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,679
of it, talk about a lot of it. A lot

174
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,240
of it is just going to be recapping some of

175
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,200
them what I just talked about here in the first

176
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,159
half of the episode.

177
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:14,759
Speaker 2: So here's head coach Matt Diggs and Liamede.

178
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was just a good old fashioned country butt

179
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,519
whooping right there. You know, sometimes you had a one shield,

180
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:25,919
sometimes you're a bug. Tonight we were the bug and

181
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,080
heck of a game for three and two thirds. Sometimes

182
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,559
you just got to tip your cap, though I haven't

183
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:38,919
seen anybody do that to Cody. With two outs on

184
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,440
what five six pitches, they go drag Bonooh, we'll get that.

185
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:47,279
So it's two quick outs the catcher, who played like

186
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,879
a big league all starter night for them, super impressed.

187
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:55,200
Doubles get two strikes on the next guy, you know,

188
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,480
and then we hang in. Fastball just started missing spots.

189
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,120
We were able to dominate with the fastball early and

190
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,320
they tax mistakes, man, and that's what good teams do.

191
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:09,279
They were very impressive tonight. I thought our guys battled

192
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:14,519
off a good starter, you know, they're guy's a good starter.

193
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,159
It's a good mix, and we battled hard. We had

194
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,840
a lot of hard contact tonight, but that's baseball, and

195
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,799
and couldn't find any holes with it. I thought we

196
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:25,960
were going to take the lead there in the happening

197
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,840
before they scored all those runs. You know, do we

198
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,799
tag and go to second or do we stay there

199
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,000
and leave the whole open for left hand? It's ballito,

200
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,720
you know, it's it's just hard to tell. So but

201
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:42,639
sometimes it comes down to little things like that, you know,

202
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:48,279
regaining the momentum. And but credit those guys, they they

203
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,679
were a force tonight. Uh, they didn't miss any mistakes

204
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:58,360
after the third inning. And very impressed with them. So

205
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,679
we'll we'll rest up tonight and get a chance to

206
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,360
play to more, get a chance to get to forty.

207
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,840
And it's one game at a time, you know, from

208
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,960
here on in. And but that was a good ball

209
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,399
club we faced tonight and uh, you know they got

210
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:12,879
after us.

211
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: So start with that pleasure for players.

212
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,159
Speaker 4: Lead coach kind of hit on a good point there.

213
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 5: It felt like early on you guys were finding some barrels,

214
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,799
but you just kind of had a case of the

215
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:23,480
Adam balls.

216
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: When that's happening, are you still encouraged.

217
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 5: By that and just thinking that things are gonna fall

218
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,519
for you tomorrow or is it frustrating thinking, man, I'm

219
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,919
hitting this thing with all my god and it's still

220
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:32,440
getting them out.

221
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, it

222
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,120
is pretty frustrating. But I mean you can't control it sometimes,

223
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:41,879
so you've got to try our best to just stealth

224
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:43,480
the results. Like if we're having a good at bat,

225
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,039
hit the ball hards that really we can do. All

226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,440
you can do is just try to beat the pitcher

227
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,799
and then wherever you hit it, you hit it so

228
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,399
and it sucks when it's like end of the season

229
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,200
kind of like this in the postseason, you're hitting balls hard,

230
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,200
it's getting caught, but it's gotta flush it asquick as we

231
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,519
can and play. Give lips from the team tomorrow, just

232
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,399
keeps going in a while.

233
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: What did you slee from their star Taylor?

234
00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:09,399
Speaker 6: Just his ability to locate his all speed really well.

235
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:12,960
He didn't leave anything up for the most part, you

236
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,639
get thrown. To any account, his fastball is good enough

237
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,080
to get you. He gets you off balance. But yeah,

238
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,799
he's just really good at uh locating.

239
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,519
Speaker 4: I'd say, you guys have those two straight blocks in

240
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,000
the fourth inion and then there's a really good play

241
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,159
from center field on that double play. How difficult was

242
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,919
that as a momentum shift? And do you feel like

243
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:32,240
that was a.

244
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 5: Huge turning point in the game, especially the tag that

245
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:36,120
was maybe an inch close.

246
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: To I mean safe.

247
00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:44,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty big momentum shift. But I mean, yeah, we

248
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,360
gotta find a way to you know, just flush it.

249
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,559
I mean, stuff happens. I mean we're gonna be aggressive.

250
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,759
I mean, Drew's not trying to be done there. He's

251
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:56,000
trying to get the extra bag, you know, getting score position.

252
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,200
So I mean some stuff you gotta live with. Then

253
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,000
it just sucks because we did that. We had very

254
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,960
few opportunities with runnering the score position. So yeah, it

255
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:10,960
just comes down and just probably being a little smarter there.

256
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,320
But you know, there's something you can do about it.

257
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,080
And it just sucks because that anying they scored, that's

258
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,039
when they scored three or five or whatever it was.

259
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,120
So yeah, we just gonna be better at responding at

260
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,919
the end of the day. I think you've been here before.

261
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: The whole psychology you lose the first game, your seasons scared.

262
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,799
Speaker 2: You know it's there and you're in the base. Just

263
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,000
talk about the mindset of going into Morsky.

264
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's win or go home. Been here

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,399
a lot first two years of the same situation.

266
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,159
Speaker 1: You know.

267
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: It's just.

268
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 6: It's just how long you want to keep playing together.

269
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,600
You know, at the end of the day, we gotta

270
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:49,759
play better. You know, that's really just that simple. I

271
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,080
think we're playing get and swinging it well. We can

272
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,960
beat anybody. So it's just gonna come down how long

273
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,720
we want to we want to play together. I mean,

274
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,240
coaches anything different pitching as the game two of a

275
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:02,639
normal weekend series to more.

276
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: I know the consequences are different, but I think just

277
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,200
based on the amount of use that armand went through

278
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,080
last week, I'll start ty Roman tomorrow and uh we'll

279
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
take it from there.

280
00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:17,879
Speaker 4: And emails players good though.

281
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,679
Speaker 1: It don't I see.

282
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,039
Speaker 5: You said, didn't they.

283
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,919
Speaker 1: Like a coach?

284
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Coach?

285
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: You kind of mentioned that they were just kind of

286
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:38,519
scene out there, and you know it was it more

287
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,919
the way the part plays. Was it just you know,

288
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:43,200
cause we know Cincinnati knows how to match the the

289
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,200
baseball You talked about that earlier in the week. It

290
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,159
was it a combination of those things or what was it.

291
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,960
They just gave them the ability to be able to

292
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:50,440
just kind of.

293
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: Launch the ball at night.

294
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,879
Speaker 3: Well, the first three innings we were beating them on

295
00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:59,519
pretty much exclusively fastballs, and we were locating it in

296
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,200
and with two outs there in the fourth, we started

297
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,840
missing and they taxed it. They didn't miss it, and

298
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,480
then that energized them, and it gave them a ton

299
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:16,679
of momentum and it just started snowballing. And but they're

300
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:22,879
a good team, man, They're a good team, and you know,

301
00:15:23,039 --> 00:15:25,440
so sometimes you just got to credit them. You can

302
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,200
talk about a base on a mistake. I mean, but

303
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:31,600
even let's just say he tags and makes it, what

304
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:32,720
happens still.

305
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:33,879
Speaker 2: Probably going to happen.

306
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:38,039
Speaker 3: And you know, but the tough part for us, I mean,

307
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,440
that's just a cardinal rule in our offense. Don't make

308
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,559
the second out at second with a runner in front

309
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,919
of you. And but that's not a game changer, that's

310
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
not one. This isn't one of those games where you go, well,

311
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:54,639
it came down to this because credit there guy eleven.

312
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:59,639
The starter he bent, but he didn't break. He wasn't

313
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:01,279
a shark, if I promise you as he could have

314
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,960
been the night, and he stayed out there and stayed

315
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,759
out there, and so you could tell he's a tough kid,

316
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:10,840
and he's he's a competitor, and he bent, he didn't break,

317
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,720
escaped a couple of jams. And credit those guys, man

318
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:17,039
tonight was there night and they took full advantage of it.

319
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,039
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys.

320
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,519
Speaker 1: So you heard Coach Digg's there, you heard Liamede. They

321
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,679
basically reiterated a lot of the things that I was

322
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,559
talking about. I did forget to mention that moment there

323
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,679
in the fourth inning, And like Coach Dick said, it

324
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,720
wasn't something that made or break the game, broke the game.

325
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:43,200
Donovan Lasal flies out the center, Drew Markle and Colate

326
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,960
Brown try to tag up and get to second and

327
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,279
third to get a scoring position. Cole Brown gets the third,

328
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,320
Drew Markle is tagged out. They challenge it, they don't

329
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,440
get it, and then after that the snowball happens there

330
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,879
in the bottom of that fourth inning. That's not a

331
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,639
moment that made a break, break broke this game at all,

332
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320
but it is a moment that happened in there. That

333
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,480
obviously was a note in this one. But like Liamede said,

334
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,599
they're gonna have to flush this one. They're gonna have

335
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,960
to turn around and answer and try to play against

336
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,839
a Lipscomb team that played against Mississippi State.

337
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: Earlier in the day.

338
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: They lost that game ten to one. The first three innings,

339
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:24,559
it was kind of similar to the way Louisiana lost

340
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,119
as well. The first three innings it was scoreless by

341
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,319
both teams, and then in the bottom of the fourth,

342
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:32,480
very similar to the way Louisiana was, Mississippi State scores

343
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:35,519
three runs, they add another run in the sixth, and

344
00:17:35,559 --> 00:17:38,799
then they have a huge seventh inning where they score

345
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,039
five runs. They win it ten to one. They get

346
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,759
ten hits and ten runs scored. Lipscomb had six hits

347
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:51,720
in this one, so their starting pitcher went six innings

348
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,440
and was pretty solid early on, but it eventually eventually

349
00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,240
Mississippi State was able to figure them out. So win

350
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:04,279
to go home, go backsit against the wall. It's an

351
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:06,799
opportunity to be able to try to answer and figure

352
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,559
it out. Based on the way that lipskim throughout their

353
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,000
initial starting pitcher, we may see Jackson Lee coming out

354
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,279
as a five point eight three era, he's appeared in

355
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:23,480
sixteen games with three starts. It could be him potentially

356
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:25,240
with the number of innings that he's thrown in. He's

357
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,599
throwed in fifty four innings. Who knows what they.

358
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: Might try to do.

359
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,839
Speaker 1: They may decide to mix and match it a different way.

360
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,000
As you heard Coach Digg said, and I think I

361
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:37,640
even mentioned it earlier in the episode, ty Rowman will

362
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,359
run out on the bump to start off because of

363
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,279
the amount of throws that Andrew Herman has thrown in.

364
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,519
Probably what coach Diggs is hoping for is that his

365
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,079
team can continue to rally enough to where maybe he

366
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,359
says him for that second game on Sunday or even

367
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,440
the final game on Monday, because that's what you're going

368
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:56,319
to have to do ultimately to win this regional now,

369
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,119
because you lost this first game, So Louisiana falls to

370
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:06,200
Cincinnati twelve to two to open regional play here in Starkville.

371
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:09,519
