1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Louisiana Baseball stays alive in the Starkville Regional as the

2
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:12,160
young Bulls come out and play extremely well against Lipscomb

3
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,359
in the elimination game. Let's recap it right here on

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:34,240
Raging Rundown. What's good, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome into

5
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,600
another episode of Rage and Rundown, the show where you

6
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,000
will know all things ul sports. I'm your guy, Ja

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,359
Marcus Fitzpatrick, but you know you can always call me fits.

8
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:44,759
And in today's episode, we will be recapping Louisiana baseball

9
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,200
beating Lipscomb in an elimination game in the Starkville Regional.

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,119
They would pick up a ten to four victory over

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
the Bison. As we always do, we will go through

12
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,479
game flow, we'll talk about the key players that stood

13
00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,840
out in this matchup, and we'll start to look ahead

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,240
because as I'm recording this episode at ten eighteen, Mississippi

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,040
State and Cincinnati are currently playing. We'll give you a

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,519
score update talking about this and obviously potentially look ahead

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,519
and who their opponent will be on Sunday. So coming

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,719
into this one, obviously Louisiana was absolutely annihilated by Cincinnati

19
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:21,120
in their twelve to two loss, Cincinnati hit six home

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,920
runs and it made it look way too easy against

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,480
Uel's pitching staff. So coming into this one, Ul was

22
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:32,560
hungry to respond and boy Diday ever, they would come

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,439
out swinging immediately in the top of the first or

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,239
the bottom of the first, that is because Uel was

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,560
the home team batting. We would see Blaze Rodriguez come

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319
right out with a single to right side and that

27
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:46,200
would put him on to first. Right after Opelusa's Catholic

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,719
native Mark Collins would hit a two run jacket. I

29
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,799
believe that was his fifth home run of the season.

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,280
So they go up two to nothing right out of

31
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:59,439
the gate, and they've already made it very difficult for

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,920
Lips right out of the gate. From there, in the

33
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:08,680
second inning, Rodriguez would once again single and would advance

34
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:12,759
the second on a throwing era Noah Lewis. After being walked,

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,240
he would be on third. So you have two runners

36
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:19,479
and score and position, and Mark Collins once again has

37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,680
four RBI, which would be a career high for the sophomore.

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,599
He would hit a two run single to left that

39
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:27,919
drove in Rodriguez and Lewis. So now it's four to

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,520
nothing and the pressure has already been applied to Lipscomb

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,719
once again. Now, like we talked about in multiple episodes,

42
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,919
this has been the key for Louisiana. You have a

43
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,240
great pitching start from your bullpen, which ty Rowman got

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,080
to start in this one. He gave you three innings.

45
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:46,719
It did take him a little bit of a while

46
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:48,840
to get adjusted. He only went three innings for you,

47
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,159
and I think he was up to thirty pitches after

48
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,400
the first inning, so it took him a while to

49
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:56,439
try to get out of those jams early on for you.

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,080
But when you're able to give early run support, it

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,159
makes it. It takes the pressure off of your starting

52
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:06,240
pitcher to where he knows, hey, as long as I

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,680
can continue to play my game, well, my guys are

54
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,479
going to score, and it's not as much pressure saying

55
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:13,400
that I got to keep this a zero zero game

56
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:15,280
until my team can make it a one nothing game

57
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,639
or a two nothing game. And so it puts you

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,879
in a much better place, especially when you're an elimination game.

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,199
It takes off the pressure from everyone else and they

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,719
can play fast, hard and loose like what they normally

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,840
like to do. And obviously a young guy like Mark

62
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,759
Collins continuing to step up in this lineup. We've seen

63
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,240
him emerge more and more, especially here in the postseason,

64
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280
as being a really consistent guy for you that if

65
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,439
you need someone to get on, if you need an

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080
RBI driven in, he has been a guy that can

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,199
do that for you. Obviously, Noah Lewis and Blaize Rodriguez

68
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
have been table setters for you in the past, and

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,840
Blaze got you going really early with the leadoff, and

70
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:57,840
now you talk about Mark coming in right and behind him,

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,719
Mark Collins coming right in behind him being able to

72
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,719
drive those runs in as well. You get to the

73
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,639
third inning and Lipscomb comes with a response. Jeorde Thomas

74
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:09,520
answers with a two run homer that cuts the deficit.

75
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,759
Now far to two. Pressures back on you. Cole Brown

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560
turns right back around, another young guy that's been tremendous

77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,399
for you. He hits a solo home run. I think

78
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,639
that was the sixth of the season. You get an

79
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:22,720
immediate response. I've talked about response so many times on

80
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:24,959
the show. You know how I feel about it, and

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,800
that was important for them to be able to do that.

82
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:29,560
Championship teams are always going to be able to answer

83
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,160
whenever you need to. It doesn't matter the situation. It

84
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:36,439
doesn't matter how hard it is, or how great the

85
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:38,399
pitcher is that they're facing, or how the great the

86
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:42,040
defense is that they're facing. Championship teams respond, and if

87
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:45,240
Louisiana's going to continue to be the type of teams

88
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,279
that they believe they can be, they're going to have

89
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,560
to continue to be able to respond. Coke Brown's homer

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,360
prevented a huge momentum swing, because if you don't score

91
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,160
there now, Lipscomb can potentially come back in there in

92
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,199
the fourth inning and flip things around for you all

93
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,759
the way around you get there. In the fourth inning,

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,519
Blaze Rodriguez comes up once again very big for you

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,600
with an RBI single, And I think also that's when

96
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:13,480
Ty Roman would be taken out. Parker Smith comes into

97
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:16,759
the game. They're in the bottom of the fourth. Like

98
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,519
I said, Blaze Rodriguez would get an RBI single thanks

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,800
to after Josh Lim got a single to left field.

100
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,959
I'm looking at the box score of flowing falling down

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,000
there to make sure I stay in line. They actually

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,279
scored another run at some point in the third of

103
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,000
the Yeah, I talked about that with Coke Brown making

104
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,600
it five to two. Then you talk about it being

105
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,959
sixty two with Blaze Rodriguez is RBI single after Josh

106
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,800
Limb singled to left field, so it's sixty two at

107
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,240
that point. You get to the fifth inning and once again,

108
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,720
Coled Brown singles up the middle. Drew markle hits a

109
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:56,360
single to left, So now Colt Brown is at second,

110
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Drew Marco is at first, Josh lim comes up. He

111
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,439
was big for you, right, Like the whole thing about

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,920
not just this lineup, but the young talent that you have,

113
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,240
the Cole Browns, the Blaze Rodriguez, the Mark Collins, the

114
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:12,120
Josh Liams, the Noah Lewis is like, all of these

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,560
guys have proven that the sky is the limit and

116
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:17,560
that the future is going to continue to be bright

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,839
for this program. But at the time is also now

118
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:21,680
because they are coming up big for you in big

119
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,240
moments despite being young in their careers. So you're now

120
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,079
up seven to two, and then after that, Josh liam

121
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:33,240
was still second, he advances the third, Marco scores on

122
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,439
a wild pitch. They're now of eight to two. Lipscomb

123
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,480
would come back and they would respond with a solo

124
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,759
home run. Of their own that makes it eight to three.

125
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,240
In the seventh inning, they would cut it once again

126
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,720
to a four run deficit. As they get an RBI single,

127
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:54,879
it'd be eight to four. And after that, Louisiana tacks

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,759
on a couple more runs. In the bottom of the

129
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,120
eighth Blaze Rodriguez single and then he is able to

130
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,120
get all the way around to third after a throwing era.

131
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,319
Noah Lewis scores as a result of that era that

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,959
made it nine to four. Liamade flies out on the

133
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:13,519
sax fly that brings in Blase Rodriguez to make it

134
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,959
ten to four, and that's how they were able to

135
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,519
pull away in this victory. So kudos to the cagents

136
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:22,920
for handling business, having their backs against the wall, knowing

137
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,399
that they needed to win a game in order to

138
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:28,279
continue their season. And Coach Diggs talked about in the

139
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,240
post game how it wasn't about staying alive, it was

140
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,279
about getting to win number forty for this team more

141
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,759
than anything else. So we're going to talk about some

142
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,639
of the guys that the spotlight players that really stood

143
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:43,160
out in this one, and we'll talk about the stat

144
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:46,000
lines that they had in this one. We'll discuss it

145
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:53,600
when we come back here on Raging Rundown. Hey, guys,

a review, because that's going to help us get in

154
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:15,879
front of more Raging Cajun fans just like yourself. So

155
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,600
the Cajun just pick up a ten to four victory

156
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,959
overlops him, and they handled the business that they needed

157
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680
to in order to get this huge victory, and it

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,600
puts them down in a position where again it's win

159
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,240
or go home from here on out. But you saw

160
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:33,840
a lot of young guys step up. Big Mark Collins

161
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,200
we talked about already. He goes three for four for

162
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,399
RBI on the day, including a home run. Blaz Rodriguez

163
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:42,120
was four for five, He scored three runs and also

164
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,360
had an RBI. Cope Brown was three for four and

165
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240
had an RBI. The home run that he hit in

166
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,000
this game, Josh Limb was two for four for you

167
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,039
as well. So all of the guys that came up

168
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,759
big for you in the lineup were young guys, right,

169
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,759
And when you're able to that, like I mentioned earlier,

170
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,120
when you're able to have young players that no matter

171
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,360
the stage, that they're able to handle business and understand

172
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
that whoever I'm facing that I'm going to come up

173
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,200
big in this moment, that makes you a very very

174
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,879
dangerous team because when you have older guys like Drew

175
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:21,360
Marco and Aliamine that continue to invote confidence in those

176
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,279
young guys, it continues to make them believe that they

177
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:26,600
can get the job done, and it makes you a

178
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,720
very dangerous team as you continue throughout your season. From

179
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,240
a pitching standpoint, Ty Rowman, like I mentioned, not necessarily

180
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,639
struggled as much, but some of his best stuff wasn't

181
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,000
there right off the bat, and Coach Daggs even mentioned

182
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,759
it a little bit in postgame. He goes three innings

183
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:47,919
for you. He throws out sixty seven total pitches. He

184
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,039
strikes out four batters, but he gets hit three times.

185
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,960
He walks three batters and allows two earned runs. So

186
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,799
he goes three innings for you after that, Parker Smith,

187
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,480
Ayden Pearson, and saw your crew all combined for allowing

188
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:04,960
just three hits and one earned run and two other

189
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:09,919
strikeouts and yeah, two other strikeouts and two walks. So

190
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:14,360
after Lipscomb kind of came in and tried to make

191
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,039
a little bit of noise after they cut the deficit

192
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,519
four to two. After that, they go scoreless in the fourth,

193
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,639
scoreless in the fifth, scoreless in the eighth, scoreless in

194
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,559
the ninth. So one, two, three, four out of the

195
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,960
final six innings they're left scoreless. Offensively, the Cajuns were

196
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,480
able to score in every inning except for the sixth

197
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:38,399
and the seventh, So from a relief pitcher standpoint, you

198
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,440
were able to get some really good moments for you.

199
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:45,679
Parker Smith earning the win, Hayden Pearson kind of being

200
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,480
the bridge, and those middle innings, and then saw your

201
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240
crewer come in and being able to slam the door shut.

202
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:52,360
And sometimes that's what it takes, you know, when you

203
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,559
get to postseason baseball, especially with how the Cajuns had

204
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,120
to use a lot of their arms in the conference tournament,

205
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,600
playing seven games in six days, a lot of these

206
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,480
guys are going to be worn down, and so it

207
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,440
now puts them in an interesting predicament because as these

208
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,559
guys are continuing to throw more and more innings like

209
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,120
after Ty Roman in terms of the number of pitches

210
00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:18,159
that you have. Parkersmith goes thirty nine, so we'll definitely

211
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,080
see him again. Hayden Pearson goes twenty three, will definitely

212
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,799
see him again. So your career goes twenty nine, and

213
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:26,679
I think we'll see him again as well. So you've

214
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,080
utilized some of those younger guys, but not to the

215
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:32,519
extent where they're done for the entire weekend. But now

216
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,440
you're going to have to figure out how you can

217
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:38,559
mix and match things in your elimination game on Sunday.

218
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,960
So again, like I mentioned, you were able to finish

219
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000
things off. Kudos to all the young guys for being

220
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,440
able to handle their business for you on the offensive end,

221
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:52,960
and you being able to create separation, keep the distance,

222
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,480
and being able to ultimately slam the door shut to

223
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,600
keep your season alive. You get to forty wins, which,

224
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,759
if I'm not mistaken, Rimond Parks brought the stat up.

225
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:04,679
I think he said that it was the fourteenth time

226
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,399
or the seventh time somewhere in the last couple of

227
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:10,000
years that they have gotten the forty wins, and it's

228
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,559
the fourteenth time in the NCAA tournament that they've won

229
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,919
at least one game in a regional. So it's continuing

230
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,519
to keep a standard. Now. I know that a lot

231
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:22,639
of people are going to hear that and going to say, man,

232
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:24,080
we want to go back to the old days when

233
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,360
we're going to super regionals, we're hosting, and we're going

234
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:30,559
to the College Real Series. And I hear you. I

235
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,320
understand where you're coming from. Times are a lot different now,

236
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,320
and it's going to take time to continue to be

237
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200
able to build this thing out. You have young pieces

238
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,679
that we've mentioned so many times, so many episodes that

239
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,960
we mentioned a bunch of them in this episode. You've

240
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,279
got to be able to keep these guys. You got

241
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:49,600
to be able to keep that bond together, and then

242
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:51,720
ultimately they've got to go out and put a winning

243
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:53,759
product on the field. So you get to forty wins

244
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:56,519
on the season, and you put yourself in a position

245
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,879
now where you will have to win two games tomorrow

246
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,440
and then win one on Monday in order to be

247
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,360
able to get out of this regional. We know that

248
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Andrew Herman is going to start for the Cajuns in

249
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,120
Sunday's first game. That pitch will be at two PM.

250
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:17,279
And as I'm recording this episode, at ten thirty, Mississippi

251
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,320
State is leading Cincinnati eight to one in the top

252
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,440
of the seventh. So as it stands, this could change

253
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,000
as of me recording this episode. It can be completely different,

254
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,039
depends on when to upload it, all those things like that.

255
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,720
As it stands, you're going to have a remachig in Cincinnati,

256
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240
so that means you're gonna have to face those guys

257
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,039
that hit all those tanks over and over and over

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,600
again in the initial game that you played in on Friday.

259
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960
Andrew Herman is going to come out. Coach Digg said

260
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,200
that he's going to give him the ball and let

261
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,399
him go as long as he can. I expect him

262
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,039
to go a complete game. I expect him to throw

263
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,039
until he cannot throw anymore. He's not gonna want to

264
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,519
come off the mound. He is a senior. This is

265
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:58,480
his last year and he does not want this to

266
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,960
be his last game. He's going to give his own

267
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,000
and whatever happens from there happens. So you'll likely get

268
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,639
Cincinnati in the first game. If you're able to win

269
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:11,000
from there, you have to beat Mississippi State twice. And guys,

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,200
I'm not saying that, you know, they're this amazing team

271
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,639
that it can't beat. But on top of the atmosphere

272
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,559
that because I was there for the first three or

273
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:25,480
four innings of the game with Cincinnati, it's an electric atmosphere,

274
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,360
there are gonna be a lot of distractions around. These

275
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240
guys are going to have to focus in early. They're

276
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,679
gonna have to score runs early. They if they get

277
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,360
to that game now, the formula is still the same.

278
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:40,799
Get great run support early, get great pitching, and then

279
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,279
hold the lead, slam the door shut on the back end.

280
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:46,000
Coach Digg said it in posts. I don't have the

281
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:48,440
post game sound because it was a little overmodulated on

282
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,600
my end playing it out trying to get sound bites

283
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,360
and everything. But I'm basically telling you he said that

284
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,879
if they are not able to get run support and

285
00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:00,600
are not able to score runs, then they will go home. Now,

286
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,600
if you want to watch that full press conference, I

287
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,360
do have it uploaded on my social media accounts on

288
00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:08,279
Facebook and Twitter at j Fitz TV. It's gonna be

289
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,240
a little overmodulated, but for the most part you can

290
00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:13,600
hear what he was saying in that postgame press conference.

291
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,600
They're gonna have to come out. They're gonna have to

292
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,120
put their best foot forward. It's win or go home.

293
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,559
This is your season. This is an opportunity for you

294
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:26,240
to be able to answer the bell. If they're able

295
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:29,360
to do that, it would be a phenomenal feat and

296
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,639
it would be a great thing to be able to

297
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:33,240
see the rage and cage just to be able to

298
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,879
get it done. Like I said, Andrew Herman will get

299
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,480
the start tomorrow, likely against the Cincinnati Bearcats. He'll likely

300
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,919
go the distance. If he gives you seven, then you

301
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:45,639
probably think about a Tyler Pappenbrock. On the back end.

302
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,600
You still have Hayden Pearson and Parker Smith available. You

303
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:51,919
still have saw your Prewit available. But then after that,

304
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,879
it's gonna get really tricky with the amount of depth

305
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:56,519
that you have because a lot of guys have been

306
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,879
utilizing their arms throughout this postseason. So we'll be keeping

307
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:02,919
our eyes on that, and you know, we'll always be

308
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,679
talking about it right here on Rage and Rundown. That's

309
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:07,919
gonna wrap up this episode of Raging Rundown. If you've

310
00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:09,879
made it to this point in the video, please do

311
00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:11,840
