but they're telling the story. Bud, my brain, my heart's
telling a different story. I'm here, uh.
Speaker 2: Clear, eye full heart, right, I can't lose tailed. I
was quoting Friday Night Lights. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know well enough to quote it, or to

Speaker 7: Jordan right, I was like one of the first things
I saw him.
Speaker 2: Man, Well, I mean just trying to build up more episodes.
Speaker 7: Like right when he was young. Yeah, but I mean
like when he was like older.
Speaker 2: Would you say, oh God, I said a joke. It's
a joke. Nobody heard it. Don't want to have to
explain it fell on deaf ears and you would have
to explain it. It's not good. I do want to
We're off to a hot start.
Speaker 7: I do want to think, mister Matt, I don't know
if it was intentional or not, but uh, I'm glad
to see I'm not the only person in this room
with culture wearing green this morning, because Matt also has
a green beanie on this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was past. He definitely knew that too. I
don't know, he doesn't have a.
Speaker 3: Total accident that he did not do that.
Speaker 7: So I'm saying it may not be on purpose. He's
got it on.
Speaker 2: Me too. Counts.
Speaker 7: This was actually full, full disclosure. I realized I was
wearing green when I got in the car this morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's not Yeah, happy Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3: I already celebrated this.
Speaker 4: Oh It's like it's like when your friend has a
birthday party on the weekend but his birthdays not till
like Tuesday or Wednesday. At school, you still tell him.
Speaker 7: Got it, you gotta you gotta give the birthday text.
Speaker 2: Tuesday birthday. Yes, yeah, good, there he'd be born on
a Tuesday. Well it's not that Tuesday changes every year.
But yeah, but when you know you're getting the cycle
of it falling on a Friday Saturday.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Brings up an interesting question. I was hundering the the
other day. What's the purpose of a leap year?
Speaker 7: We've done this when we talked about this, I don't,
I know we told.
Speaker 5: You about it, but it's because of the way, like
you know how every month is like thirty or thirty
one days or something like that.
Speaker 3: We already forgot what it was.
Speaker 7: It's a parent it's actually like sixty five point like
three years.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 7: So every fourth year they have to added ay to
keep it, to keep.
Speaker 6: Three every fourth year is three hundred and sixty six days.
Speaker 7: No, every fourth year, well maybe it's like three sixty
five and like a half.
Speaker 3: It's like three hundred two five. That's why it's every.
Speaker 4: Four years, just a normal person calendar for that year.
Speaker 7: My suggestion, my suggestion was, you got a couple days
with thirty one, take two of those bad boys out Adam,
February February thirty days, boom, everybody's happy.
Speaker 5: But if you did that, because I looked it up,
if you were to do that, it would mess up
the whole calendar and you would have like summer in
the winter and winter and eventually, Yeah, so you add
a day every fourth year because it's like three sixty
five point two five, so you have every fourth year
you add extra day to it to make up for it.
Speaker 2: Murphy, Sam and Jody kild never. They could never, I
think they would take.
Speaker 3: The They could never give a half assed explanation of.
Speaker 5: Why something that's like, you know, I tried to explain
it that I stopped halfway because I forgot.
Speaker 7: We're over here with like sixty five percent accuracy right now.
That's not bad, not too far bad, not for an
opening segment.
Speaker 2: You know that was babably be in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, right,
right right, He's not wrong, he's not wrong. You know,
we didn't we didn't get the memo to be at
the LA B Awards on Thursday, and Elanja and I
were talking about this yesterday. That probably means a slimy
son of a guns.
Speaker 3: What's even the point in.
Speaker 2: The law firm? Probably one again, but.
Speaker 5: What's the point in even nominating another show? Murphy Salmon, Joe,
You're just gonna win every year?
Speaker 7: Whatever they got the market cornered or do they hear me?
Speaker 2: Out. Hear me out. The one time we got nominated
for best Sports Show, we won the award.
Speaker 7: We win that for sure, maybe not.
Speaker 2: Nominated us for best morning show of all morning shows.
Let's stay, you know, in our spot, in our category
and be best Sports.
Speaker 7: What you're saying is like, we're good with sports, we
just may not be as morning as we think.
Speaker 2: Then that could be best afternoon show.
Speaker 5: We're like two morning shows for the sports, two sports
for the morning show.
Speaker 2: Well that's what It's a different category.
Speaker 3: Tell people we're in their own little world.
Speaker 4: Are not a sports talk show. We are sports entertainment, right, Okay, so.
Speaker 7: We've never actually lost them.
Speaker 4: We're our own category. We're actually undefeated.
Speaker 5: No one has ever came up to me and been like, man,
I love Murphy Sam and Jody. People come up to
me all the time and they're like, I love off
the bench, and I'm like, you know what, I love
off the bench too.
Speaker 7: The only person I know that's ever outwardly told me
about Murphy.
Speaker 3: It's like not surprising at all. I was like, guys,
zero loyalty day.
Speaker 7: He was like I was a little late this morning
at Murphy Sam and Jody on in the car. He's like,
they're good. What do you want me to tell you?
Speaker 3: They can't be that good.
Speaker 2: That's a true story. That really did happen. I wonder
what they're talking about this morning.
Speaker 7: Oh there's something to say Patrick's related?
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, Oh yeah, for sure, mixed.
Speaker 3: Do you remember that Patrick's Day?
Speaker 5: And then they just all laugh about something that nobody
else cares about.
Speaker 7: Favorite favorite underrated holidays is what they're doing right now.
They are hyping up Groundhog Day, Arbor Day Day, Flag Day.
They're getting hyped.
Speaker 2: Up in the taxi.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't know nothing about taxi. We have this
beat with them. They don't even know who we are.
Speaker 2: Oh, they know they are. They know who we are.

gonna be a new category.
Speaker 2: True, that was a good way to put it Elandra. Yeah,
we're too sportsy for morning show. We're too morning show
for a sports.
Speaker 7: Sports entertainment show should be a caticalist.
Speaker 6: It's entertainment now, that that's the thing. Let's getting that now.
Speaker 3: Talk about Murphy Salmon, Jo, do you get fired?
Speaker 2: They really should just rename the award though, so yeah,
they won't.
Speaker 3: It's just there's zero point to it to me, right.
Speaker 2: And you you've already won Young Professional, right all right?
Speaker 3: Uh is nominated this year?
Speaker 2: You are fingers crossed because if you win.
Speaker 3: It then that's three years in a row.

been thinking of. You know, I want to maybe add
something that is a little bit different. Maybe you haven't
seen that, and they'll say, well, you know, yes we
can add that feature, and yes we probably have seen it,
because well, if you check out their gallery of work
on their website, there's so many different things that they've
already done in the Greater Baton Rouge area in South Louisiana.
So go sit down, have that conversation Russell Pooles dot com. Yeah,

OTB squad. Before we get to start, anybody watching World
Baseball Classic.
Speaker 3: Some of it.
Speaker 2: Come back?
Speaker 7: Venezuela.
Speaker 4: Yeah, score three in the seventh I believe, yeah, and
Aaron Nola pitch nice.
Speaker 7: Kind of wanted to play Italy just because he lost
to him and he had the coaching blunder of like,
oh well, I thought we were already in Like it'd
have been a niceilver redemption.
Speaker 4: We'll get back game. Hey what Venezuela, they're gonna try
to get back from us? Still in their president.
Speaker 5: Somebody put a picture of Maduro and Luigi man Joan
in a cell together with the with the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get right. Game for Venezuela, got.
Speaker 7: Even I not even think about the political.
Speaker 3: As for one, we're over one versus USA right.
Speaker 2: Now, I mean Venezuela going through Japan and Italy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said upset Japan. Yeah, come back victory versus Italy.
Speaker 3: Don't let him get hot.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I don't think I like the way he
said Italy.
Speaker 4: There was a graphic put up on the game yesterday
that said most uh pasta eating up pound per cat.
I saw that Italy's number one, but Venezuela's number three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was number two.
Speaker 4: I remember, I remember what was important? Yeah that what
kind of follow up was that?
Speaker 2: You have one to three.
Speaker 4: Well it was the most relevant, Okay, all right, So yeah,
Venezuela USA very excited.
Speaker 2: We wonder who's going to be on the bump, because
I believe that Team USA, like weeks ago, said that
the rookie from the Mets was going to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they as not pitching. Yeah, what's up with that?
What's up with school?
Speaker 7: You just wanted to be on the team.
Speaker 2: He said he wanted to be ready for the start
of the season for his actual team, the Tiger. Sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's a pretty weak look. Yeah, like, don't
don't join the team, don't join the thing. You just
out there hanging out and joining all. I think he
just went like sixty or seventy pitches a couple of
days ago in spring training, So like, what's the deal. Yeah,
the vibes aren't high enough during the games. Intensity, the
competition wasn't there for you.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, it'd be really nice to have
him on the bump.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, obviously, that's why I'm bringing it up.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about like the championship game, because the conversation
for like best picture in the world is between him
and schemes. Right now, you got both of them.
Speaker 4: I mean that.
Speaker 6: He well, I mean I don't like him at all.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 6: I think he's a coward.
Speaker 2: Wow, what I mean did pitch for the US and
the World Baseball Classic against Great Britain. Anyway I can
beat Great Britain. It's true, I guess anybody. But they
said anybody can beat Great Britain. They still have got
major leaguers on the team. It's one of those things
where it's basically all Americans are.
Speaker 6: I guess I was born of Thehamas.
Speaker 2: Got it?
Speaker 5: So would you go look at the pasta?
Speaker 3: It was Tunisia.
Speaker 7: Tunisia in the world, the world definitely, definitely before today
knew that was a country. Guys, Okay, don't worry.
Speaker 2: Definitely they got against soccer team like legit do the Yeah.
Speaker 7: They never heard of this place?
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 7: I like the name too, is cool. It rolls off
the tongue and there located and teach that. No, you know,
on my old p geography test, they weren't like all right, Tyler,
here's the big one. Point out Tunisia.
Speaker 2: What you dare mispronounce it? You better say it like
the Tunisia.
Speaker 7: It's in Africa, Okay, That's what I was thinking, because
it sounds like Tanzania or whatever.
Speaker 2: What else not gonna have for all right, this feels
like this is slippery slope. Let's go ahead and get

it's sniffle season all over again. My kids were kind
of feeling under the weather yesterday just because of the
weather change. So go boost that immune system right over there,
go flowiv dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, So one of the things you're going to
talk about here to get everything kind of started is
LSU baseball and softball. We had high expectations for both
and right now, as we know, not going in the
direction at all that we thought. And as we all know,
like when spring sports are doing well here, when softball
and baseball are doing their thing. It kind of heightens everything.
Now we'll say softball did find a way to win
a game against Texas A and M after it looked
like they might get swept. So they win last night
seven to two after losing on Saturday and Sunday. But
to get this show start, it's really a vibe check
of where we're at, what we're thinking, how it's going
to go Elandra. Obviously you're our baseball and softball go
to how we feeling about each sport. Do we feel
the same, do we feel different? Do we think that
there's a way to climb out of the current rut
that they're in.
Speaker 5: So I don't really feel great about LSU softball. They
showed some I guess a little bit of well they
won seven to two, so good win last night. But
I don't feel great about softball because after the Clearwater Invitational,
I was like, oh, that is not that is a
rough tournament for them. And then obviously it's tough to
go on the road against the number one team in
the country and get a win there, but they get swept.
I'm honestly a little surprised that they're still ranked in
the top twenty, they.
Speaker 2: Won't be I don't think no serious, No two three
at home.
Speaker 5: But even after I guess they're giving them the benefit
of the doubt with Tennessee. But I mean the Clearwater
Invitational just was like the like that made it for me,
where I was like, this.
Speaker 3: Is going to be a long season for softball.
Speaker 5: And then yesterday when you asked about baseball, I said
that I feel kind of the same, but maybe a
little worse. Yeah, just because of like Vanderbilt not being.
Speaker 3: It was such a between.
Speaker 5: The both the teams right, like, yes, they were making
errors on there into walking a whole bunch of people.
That's how we came back on Friday before they hit
the walk off. They were just walking everybody, throwing wild
pitches and we were taking advantage of it. But I
think I feel a little better about baseball than I
do softball, just because the season so long, and I
feel like for baseball, like the pieces are all there.
I just they are not putting them together. And I
think that if they keep if Jay keeps like a
consistent lineup, I think that the people that are in
there consistently can find a rhythm. But they don't know
if they're going to be in the lineup every day,
you know what I mean? Right, So, yeah, so I
feel a little better about baseball than I do softball.
But I think that the softball team it's gonna be
trouble for the rest of the season.
Speaker 7: Heyday, soofotball is three hitters, that's their problem. Like lasted
Edward cre A day, they could hit the ball. Outside
of that, It's kind of what you've seen with LSU baseball.
In the lineup, it's just you struggle to get on base.
Like Jaydon Heavener's great, and honestly c. C. Salur has
been pretty good as that number two starter. She did
the game on Sunday. They lost that game three to two,
and honestly, that game never fell three to two. LSU
never threatened.
Speaker 2: In that game.
Speaker 7: But like we talked about it yesterday, I feel kind
of the same about this baseball team. Thing I've noticed
they just they don't play complimentary ball, Like when your
batting's bad, your pitching's really good, but the bats don't
pick them up. Over the weekend, your bats got a
little hot, your pitching fell apart. It just if it's
not one thing, it's another. They just they haven't been
able to put it together for whatever reason. I certainly
think the baseball teams are more talented than softball. I mean,
so all little Sidney Burson, which people are seeing now
how much he actually meant to this team, And you
didn't really have a good replacement for her, like yes,
Heaveners a year older in this program right now, she's
She's not Sydney Burson. I mean, Barzon could throw two
hundred pitches, no problem, That's just that's not who she is.
So baseball is certainly more talented than softball, But I
mean does it look good for either program?
Speaker 2: So I agree with everything else said. And the softball
team has had a tough go of who they've had
to play, for sure, But this was a series that
was pretty even as far as who you were going
against right at home, and you dropped the first two.
Now again you salvage a game three. But where they're
at right now, some of the holes in their lineup,
it's tough for me to see in a league where
typically every team makes the postseason, they're going to be
able to turn it around. Now you have to on
the flip side for baseball, you have to say in
Jay Johnson. We trust at this point, Like if you're
not ready to give up, because I'm gonna trust Jay Johnson. Now,
that was an ugly series against Vanderbilt, and you're welcoming
in a team in Oklahoma that's really good. They're a
top ten baseball team, and so certainly we'll know more
after this we in at home. But I think the
troublesome thing from that aspect about baseball is it's been
the lineup and the pitching staff at different times. Right
It's not like, oh man, we got a really good staff,
we just can't hit the ball. It's like, I we
can't hit the ball, uh this time. But then next
game you score fourteen runs, but you give up twelve.
Speaker 7: And your defense hasn't been as good like the.
Speaker 2: Defense last year was really good. One of the reasons
a lot of staff and they're not doing that either.
Speaker 5: Well, you could also take patient at bats and be
smart at the plate. That's another way to help your
pitching staff out, and you're not doing that. You're not.
Vanderbilt did to us what we were doing last season
to people, and what we need to start doing.
Speaker 3: Where you you.
Speaker 5: Know, you battle off pitches, you take pitches that are smart,
takes not three to zero meat balls straight down the
middle of the plate that we told Jay to start
green lighting.
Speaker 3: People a lot. But but anyways, like I just.
Speaker 5: I don't know, like the team, the at bats that
they're taking are not good at bats, and they're not
patient at the plate, and they're not chipping away at
the pitchers, the starting pitchers like they were last season,
and last season they were able to like have the
pitchers on the opposite team get deep in the count,
get rid of them after like four innings, and get
into the bullpen where then you start making hits and stuff.
Speaker 3: But I'm trying to find it's weird.
Speaker 7: It's almost like they don't trust the pitching staff right
now to be patient at the plate, but buying large
the pitching staff's actually been pretty good, So it's just
kind of a weird approach, Jake, real quick. Going back
to softball, they said on the broadcast over the weekend,
first series A and M is one in bed Rouge
since being in the SEC. If that tells you how
bad of a loss that was over the weekend, I
could get their good baseball or good softball team. But
first time they beating LSU in a series in ben
Rouge since being.
Speaker 2: In the conference.
Speaker 1: Cool.
Speaker 4: Cool, Let's say this about the baseball too. It's like,
so the Vanderbilt series, of course doesn't look good.
Speaker 2: You lose it.
Speaker 4: But if you want to take some positives, way on Friday,
you scored twelve against you know, and Vanderbilt Friday night starter,
who was an established good starter in the SEC. You
pitched a guy that I don't think is going to
be definitely not gonna be a Friday night starter all season.
Maybe he's a late but we talked about yesterday. Maybe
you moving back into a rotation that he's really really
good at. So I think you're still trying to figure
out your pitching rotation, your lineup Again. Friday night, they
put up a lot of hits and a lot of
runs versus a Friday Night starter for Vanderbilt. You went
on the road and you dropped two. Now that weekend
doesn't look quite as bad. If you hadn't already lost
a series of Sacramento State and lost to ul and
Northeastern and McNeese, like, it looks a lot different if
you've won the games you are supposed to win, but
because of all that, we're having this conversation like if that,
if those things didn't happen, we're having a completely different conversation. Oh,
we went on the road against the Vanderbilt team. The
other they're not the best Vanderbilt team that as good
as they've been, but we had some really positive things.
We're still like getting a roster lined up, we're doing
it like our pitching staff. We're still like lining a
lot of things down, putting away.
Speaker 2: From having a much better feeling.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But if we all have this feeling, and this
conversation is coming about because of the games that led
up to this series, Losing a series of Sack State
at home is embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's embarrassing. Yeah, well, let's just call it what
it is.
Speaker 4: Losing on the road to Vanderbilt and being a pitch
away from winning a series is not embarrassing. Now, it's
an indication of where they're at as a team and
a lot of the like the other stuff that you
can you can poke and prod and dissect the games
and be like, Okay, this is where we're this is
where we're short. And it's the same things that have
been showing up in these other games. But the reason
why we feel like this is not because of the
Vanderbilt series, because all the things that have led up
to it, and it just doesn't seem to be improving
against Vanderbilt.
Speaker 6: And now we are in the Gauntlet. So it's like
you got to.
Speaker 4: Get right and you better fix it or this season
is going to get away from you fast.
Speaker 5: You got to get right real quick because Oklahoma's coming
into town and they are a really good baseball team.
They're performing really well. Right now, I went back to
go find it. So on the season, right now, we
have twenty five errors first SEC series in the in
the books, right, twenty five errors. Last season total for
the entire season, forty four errors.
Speaker 7: I think, good, yeah, like that that's all and everything
like that's that's double the amount of games you played now.
Speaker 6: And then excuse like if there's like we're gonna give
me your.
Speaker 5: Entire infield is pretty much new. But like I'm I
just don't think that's a good excuse.
Speaker 4: For it, right, I Mean, the only excuse would be
we're going to give up a little bit on the
glove because we got so much with the bats. But
you don't you don't have rats right, you have it
some but like in Spurts and Spurts, but if you're
gonna give up the glove for the bat, the bats
better be.
Speaker 6: Hot a lot.
Speaker 7: It's like your best hitters are your outfielders, who are
also your best defensive players.
Speaker 4: Jake Brown did hit a home run on three and
oh though did yeah yeah green light.
Speaker 2: So if we're gonna let ourselves thirty six, if we're
going to move Saturday to Friday, Sunday to Saturday, and
Case Evans is going to go back to being the
guy that comes out when you got the lead in
an SEC game and slams the door. Does that put
Zach Cowan on Sunday?
Speaker 7: It couldn't.
Speaker 2: Man, I hate TBD.
Speaker 7: It's tough to say this because he got absolutely shilled
as last time out. I would like to see a
lefty and Saturday. The problem is who is it? Like
you would have thought it was Cooper Williams. But again,
it was really really bad his last time out. Because
I always like the righty, lefty, righty, just to give
them something a little bit different. But I don't know
if you can do that right now.
Speaker 2: Somebody can throw strikes, a good start, a great start,
the defense has been poor, and then you get free passes,
and then they put the ball in play and you
kick it around and you don't make the play. And
that's been a large issue for LSU. All Right, we
do have to take a break. We're a little bit
late here. More OTB women.
Speaker 6: Come back the studio, off the bench.

Speaker 2: Come on, all right, welcome back in and O TV

been m I a bruh. Ain't seen you since Moby
Dick was a minnow. Yeah, picky game up. Come on, man,
if you're gonna troll troll for twelve months for four

all got jobs.
Speaker 6: Bandwagonontrol it comes as bad and baseball got three of them.
Speaker 7: Okay, be like be like in mid stream and tream
Uh yeah, least troll troll twenty Yeah, you can't have troll.
Speaker 6: Say with your trust up Yeah got the ms A
saying that's my man.
Speaker 2: Backing up champ anywhos Hey, I got a question for you.
I got an answer. I don't know if you do
or not. I don't know if it's the right one
opinion really.
Speaker 4: Does the the quotes in the electric atmosphere from the
world based Fall Classic, The quotes from the players about
how they're feeling like I'm reading a quote from Ronald
Acunya Junior on the Venezuela team, saying, in this moment,
I would rank it number one in my career. I
love the Braves, but before the Braves, I was born
in Venezuela. Yeah, you have Aaron Judge yesterday saying like,
I got the nerves I'm taking like I'm taking like
air swings in the hotel. My wife's filming me so
I can look at my swings. He's like, I'm laying
out my uniform on my bed like I'm twelve years old,
like going to a championship game. Paul Skin says, like
it's the number one jersey he's ever been like proud
of to where like all these scenes, it's incredible and
it's incredible to watch. It's it's like Game seven in March.
And but as they get to their regular season, when
they go put the Braves jersey and when they go
put the Pirates, does it numb that excitement for fans
of those teams as well? Saying all right, well, these players,
they were just so excited about that. Now they're playing
in their regular season and they're probably kind of like, man, no.
Speaker 2: I don't think it should at all. Like if I
was playing for, like we don't have countries again unfortunately
in our sport, but if we'd have been in college
and they would have put together a team Louisiana or
something like that, I guess that's the closest that we
could have been. Then I would have You know me,
I mean, I'm very of the state. I'm very prideful
from where I'm from. Yep, right, sure, so yeah, that
would mean a whole lot to me to be able
to do that, to have a team Louisiana go against
Team Texas or Team Ever. So I get that, I
absolutely get it. And that's just on the state level
because we don't have you know, national football comedy like
international football. Get the pride for sure. Actually I'm okay
with it because like in the World Cup, you can
hear the same thing. There's gonna be people to play
for Bayern Munich, be able to play for Barcelona, people
that play for Real Madrid, Manchester City, name your club,
biggest clubs in the world, and they're gonna to say,
not even remotely close. Wearing this crest, this flag, oh
my chest in the World Cup means ten times more
than playing for my club, which they love their club
and the fans are great, but there's not one person
that would say that they like playing for their club
more than they like playing for their country. Same situation here,
and like you can see like Ronald Acunya was, I
mean celebrating everything they did, every player was, or you
saw like even Team USA now in a different way.
But like when Gunnar Henderson hit that home run, I
mean you saw Paul Skans have an excitement that I've
never seen from him. Yep.
Speaker 4: Ever, yep, it's just a little bit different when they
start the season. They're going to play one hundred and
sixty two, right, So it's like they know it's a
long season and they just went through like the most
emotionally stoked situation maybe in their baseball careers. Certainly that
might be the last meaningful game Paul Skans plays until
the next World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2: Think about that.
Speaker 4: Like a lot of people got introduced to Paul Skins
because of this tournament, Like around the country they knew
who he was, but like probably never sat down and
had any intrigue in a game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to see the highlights of him striking people out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he might not pitch another meaningful game until twenty thirty,
until twenty.
Speaker 2: Thirty next World Baseball Classic. How about that? How does
that make us feel? Coley? That sucks for him.
Speaker 6: That's a sad thing to think about. You have the
best pitcher in baseball.
Speaker 2: Young, the MSA, the Pirates hope to compete this year.
Like they've got great talent in the minor leagues. Dude,
you've watched enough baseball you know that they can be
great in the minor leagues and it doesn't translate to
the big leagues. Make I hope Connor Griffin does well.
I got a lot of investment in him. I hope
he does well. But after like to open the spring
with the home run, he's bat in like a buck eighty.
You don't know how that's going to translate. Like their
farm system looks good. They got a couple of guys
on the mound that if they stay healthy, it could
be good. But you just never know. And the Pirates
historically outside of Barry Bonds and Andy van slike Doug
dre Back, been a long time since they've been good,
So you never know.
Speaker 3: Stink Clemente they.
Speaker 4: It's even farther back. So in Heshuck knows a lot
about ROVERTA. Clemente. Hate to do a little project on him.
I think in first or second grade they must.
Speaker 2: Feel like good.
Speaker 7: They must feel a good thing. So we didn't do
a project about him, but we had to read like
a little short story about him.
Speaker 2: He had to pick somebody like and you know that's
who we chose. All right, we'll take a break in

closest Is Kate Aaron beattie at two eighty, Four Stephen
milom at two sixty, Nine yorks at two sixty. Five
