00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Raging Cagen Softball gains a commitment from a Florida State

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>transfer catcher. Let's learn about her here on Raging Rundown.

3
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>What's good, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another episode

4
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>of Raging Rundown All Cajun's all the time. I'm your guy,

5
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>JaMarcus Fitzpatrick, but you know you can always call me fits.

6
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 1>And in today's episode, we will be talking about Raging

7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Cagen Softball earning two commitments, the first from a transfer

8
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>catcher from Florida State and then also a high school signee.

9
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>And then later on in the show, we will talk

10
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>about the fallball schedule that Raging Cagen's Baseball has released

11
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>as they will get closer to the twenty twenty seven

12
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>season and introducing us to Team one thirteen. So let's

13
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>lead off with the transfer catcher that is Danica Spinegatti

14
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>from Florida State announcing her commitment to join the Raging

15
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Cajun softball program. She initially entered the transfer portal back

16
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>on June the eighth, after spending a red shirt year

17
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 1>at Florida State. Obviously, now the eligibility rules, it would

18
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have been her one year already so she has four

19
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>years of eligibility remaining. She is actually coming off of

20
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 1>an ACL surgery, so she tour ACL last year. But

21
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>on July the eighth, she posted a video on her

22
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Twitter account saying that almost eight months post ACO surgery

23
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>and she's feeling stronger than ever. So she is coming

24
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>off of an injury. But she has four years of eligibility.

25
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>And she was a part of the Florida state team

26
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>that went fifty to ten, that hosted the tallahasse A

27
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Regional but ultimately bowed out to UCF in the regional final.

28
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>So a little bit of a snapshot about her. She

29
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>attended I'm trying to pull it up here. She attended

30
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Montvert Academy, the world famous Montvert Academy where great athletes

31
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>come from Cooper Flag. I think went there if you

32
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 1>know about from a basketball perspective, she turned herself into

33
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the top prospects in the country. She was

34
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the number twenty nine overall player by Extra Inning Softball

35
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and as a six time Florida Class three eight All

36
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>State honoree. In twenty twenty five, she hit a four

37
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to eighty five with eight home runs and forty rbi.

38
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>She helped Montverd to get the number two rank in

39
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>the entire country. She was a PGF All American in

40
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five and was a finalist for the twenty

41
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>twenty five Florida Gatorade Player of the Year. She was

42
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>selected to the US Triple or the U Triple s

43
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>A Select thirty All Star Game in twenty one twenty two,

44
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and the Triple Crown All Star Game in twenty twenty three.

45
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Just a list of numerous accolades, and she also helped

46
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Mountverd to win their first ever state title back in

47
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four. So obviously none of that is going

48
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to translate over to the collegiate level, but it just

49
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>goes to show you the type of catcher that you're

50
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>adding to your roster. Obviously, again, she is coming off

51
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 1>of that Aco injury, so she's going to have to

52
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 1>regain her confidence, and we know that after injuries sometimes

53
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>it can take some time. But you are getting a

54
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>former elite catcher at the high school level, and so

55
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>you add her into the mix, it now gives you

56
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to have options at the catcher position. Obviously,

57
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy Marshol was a huge factor for you behind the

58
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 1>dish last season getting All Conference honors, you sign Zoe Harrington,

59
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the North A Million product, and now you add in

60
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Danica Spenegotti to the mix. So now if you decide

61
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>then maybe you want to move Kennedy Marsol to the

62
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>outfield or the infield, or you want to move Zoe Harrington.

63
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>You have the options to do that as long as

64
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the catchers behind Kennedy Marso, Zoe Harrington, or

65
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Danica Spinegotti, if either one of those players are able

66
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to step up. She has a really strong bat from

67
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>some of the cutups that I've seen her in the

68
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>cages and some of the videos that she's posted on

69
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 1>her social media platform, so you can go and check

70
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>some of that out. But even though she did not

71
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>play on this Florida State team, she was around a

72
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of great players. She was in the locker room

73
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>as that team was building what they eventually had as

74
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 1>a really solid regular season campaign, winning the ACC and

75
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>back to back seasons and ultimately being able to host

76
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>a region or just not being able to finish the

77
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>job get to a super regional, and who knows what

78
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>could have happened from that point on and so because

79
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 1>of that, maybe some of those positive aspects that she

80
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>learned while she was there in Tallahassee in her one season,

81
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 1>she can be able to carry that over into the

82
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Raging Cajun's locker room. We've talked about it before here

83
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 1>on this show. In order to build a winning program,

84
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to recruit players that have been around winning

85
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>programs and have been a part of successful programs that

86
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>have won championships and have seen what it takes to

87
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>be great, even if that's going and getting a player

88
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that hasn't played yet, but they know what greatness looks like,

89
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and so now when they get their opportunities to go

90
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>out and play, they can be able to execute some

91
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 1>of those same things that they've seen other great players

92
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to do. So that is how things will

93
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>look for you on that end, on the softball end,

94
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, on the pitching perspective. They also received a commitment,

95
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>but it was from the high school ranks of things,

96
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to introduce you to her when we

97
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>return here on Rage and Rundown. Hey, guys, thank you

98
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.319

<v Speaker 1>Rundown and we're going to get back into the action

100
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 1>in just a second. But before we do, if you

<v Speaker 1>If you're listening, please follow the pot can't feed, rate

105
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>the show and leave us a review because it's going

106
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 1>to help us get in front of more Raging Cajun

107
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 1>fans just like yourself. So before we went to break,

108
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>we told you about Danica Spinegatti, the Florida State transfer

109
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 1>catcher that is now a Raging Cajun. And now we're

110
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about the high school catcher that the

111
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Raging Cagns received a commitment from. Her name is Candid's

112
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Candice Pooage. She is a right handed pitcher. She is

113
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>from the state of California. Like I said, she is

114
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a right handed pitcher. In her senior season, she was

115
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 1>first team All del Rio. I was not able to

116
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>find too many stats in terms of the full collective

117
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>part of the season, but from what I saw on

118
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 1>max Preps from the games that they have, she also

119
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>hit so she hit a two eighty four. She had

120
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven hits, nineteen RBI she had a fielding percentage

121
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>of nine twenty six, So that's her high school career

122
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>batting status. Overall, her senior season from the games that

123
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 1>they have listed, which I don't know if this is

124
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the final stats at all, she had a three to

125
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>zero eight batting average, sixteen hits, nineteen RBI. And then

126
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 1>from a pitching perspective, her NCSA profile has her with

127
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 1>her fastest pitch velocity being at sixty five miles an hour,

128
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>her change of velocity being at forty three, and an

129
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>overhand throw at sixty seven miles per hour. So again

130
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you're adding in a young player to the mix, someone

131
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 1>that is unproven, very similar to Danica Spinegotti, but being

132
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 1>around a team that was very solid in her final season,

133
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and now you add her to this roster in a

134
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 1>bullpen that is going to be spearheaded, like we've said before,

135
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>by Sage Hoover, who is your most experienced pitcher, followed

136
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 1>by Bailey maccles who was on the team last year

137
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 1>but had very few appearances in the twenty twenty sixth season.

138
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>After that you have Emily Adams. Mikaela Ranicky is a

139
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>utility player, but she has the ability that if you

140
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 1>need her to come in and pitch, she can. You

141
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.439
<v Speaker 1>sign KG Favors, who was the South Carolina transfer, and

142
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 1>now you add in Candace pooh it. It's going to

143
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.079
<v Speaker 1>take me a minute to try to be used to

144
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>saying that. So you're, like I said, you're very very

145
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 1>young out of your bullpen, but you have the opportunity

146
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to be able to build something and see what she

147
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>can become as an overall player, and maybe somewhere further

148
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>down the line she can become the ace for you.

149
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 1>The thing that's going to be very clear about, not

150
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 1>just the pitching staff, but this roster as a whole,

151
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>is that this team is going to be very young.

152
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be not nearly as experienced as what

153
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>they would like. But if the coaching staff is able

154
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to get these girls developed enough quickly enough to get

155
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>them ready, this team has the opportunity to be good

156
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>for some time. As it stands, your roster has twenty

157
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>two total players. They still have three roster spots potentially available.

158
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure exactly how much further they will go

159
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>in terms of a recruiting standpoint, but they have twelve

160
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>total twelve total returners seven incoming freshmen, three transfers, but

161
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>all three of those transfers are basically freshmen as well

162
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 1>because all three of them red shirted last season. Angelina

163
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Conde from Texas Tech, Danica Spinegatti from Florida State, and

164
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>then KG Favors from South Carolina are your three transfers,

165
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'll list off all of the players that you

166
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>have across the board and the pitching staff. Bailey Macholes

167
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and Sage Hoover are your two returners. Emily Adams and

168
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Candid's Candice Pooage is your are your two freshman pitchers.

169
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>KG Favors is your transfer pitcher. Your infielders Mea Lescano,

170
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Brooke Otto, Madison Manning, Hailey Hard and Emily Smith are

171
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>all returners. Ali Rios, Tory Gonzalez, and Angelina Condey will

172
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>be newcomers. The two freshmen, Ali Rios into Gonzales Conde

173
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>being the transfer. Your outfielders Jajah Williams, Mia Norwood, Lily

174
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Knox and Kennedy Stuts are your returners. Hayley Johnson is

175
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a incoming freshman. Your catchers, Kennedy mors Zoe Harrington is

176
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a freshman. Kennedy Morso is a returner, Danika Spinegatti is

177
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the transfer, and then your utility player is Mikhaela Ranicking.

178
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Still working to find out where she's gonna land in

179
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>terms of positional player, but she has the ability to

180
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>play anywhere. So, like I said, the team will look

181
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>extremely young. Last season, you had only five seniors. This

182
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 1>incoming season, you will have only five singers. Those five

183
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>seniors will be Sage Hoover, Bio Ascano, Brooke Otto, Dejah Williams,

184
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>and Madison Manning. Everybody else thereafter are all underclassmen. And

185
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of the newcomers that you have, that being ten newcomers,

186
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>your true freshmen, and your transfers. All of them will

187
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>be freshmen. All of them have either four to five

188
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 1>years of eligibility. So that means if you can get

189
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>this group to start clicking over the summer months now,

190
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>once they get back on campus through fall ball, and

191
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>once the season starts, you can have them to get

192
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>off to a fast start. That means that you will

193
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.279
<v Speaker 1>be able to be good for a very long time.

194
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the part about building up a program. The

195
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>main thing is will this coaching staff be able to

196
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 1>get these young ladies ready Alison Habits, Lacy Prajean Kyle Brady,

197
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Bill Shipman. It's their responsibility now that your roster is

198
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.799
<v Speaker 1>starting to slowly come to form, after you've had players

199
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to leave the program to enter the transfer portal and

200
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>go elsewhere. Now it's about taking the players that you've

201
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 1>brought in because a pretty much all of this roster

202
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 1>except maybe two to three players or all your recruits.

203
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>They are all the ones that you went and sought

204
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 1>after you brought them in and you have integrated them

205
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>into the program. So now it's about getting them ready

206
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>to be able to go out and compete, to not

207
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 1>just be competitive, to not potentially win a few games.

208
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>It's the standard is to dominate the Sun Belt, to

209
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 1>win the Sun Belt and then host a regional and

210
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.159
<v Speaker 1>go on a run to try to go toward a

211
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>college World Series. So it'll be interesting to see how

212
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>this team turns out. But that is how things stand

213
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>with your softball program. Twenty two total players, three spots

214
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 1>remaining as you have twelve returners, seven freshmen, and three transfers.

215
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Switching gears now to the other diamond sport. The baseball

216
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 1>program source allowed me to be able to find out

217
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.759
<v Speaker 1>what their fall ball schedule will look like. The Cajuns

218
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 1>will begin action on October the second. They have four

219
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>games they will play. Three of them will be against

220
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 1>in state opponents, the other will be against Lamar, but

221
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>all of these games are against Southland Conference opponents. So

222
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.879
<v Speaker 1>on October second, they will travel to Nichols. On October sixteenth,

223
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>they will play Northwestern State. On October twenty fifth, they

224
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 1>will play McNeice at home, so the Northwestern State game

225
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 1>of the McNeese game both at home, and then they

226
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 1>will round out fall ball on Friday night, October the

227
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 1>thirtieth against Lamar. So three Friday night action games with

228
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the Nichols, Northwestern State, and Lamar game, and then one

229
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 1>Saturday opportunity to see the raging Cagens baseball team on

230
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>October twenty fifth. We know what that roster completely looks like.

231
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about it in previous episodes that you can

232
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>check out on the channel of the type of dynamic

233
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.799
<v Speaker 1>that Matt Diggs appears to have gone through, and I

234
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>actually will be trying to get an opportunity to speak

235
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with him a little bit later this week on my

236
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>day job at KTC, so I'll be trying to get

237
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>some answers from him on what went into the thought

238
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>process of why he decided to go the route that

239
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 1>he did and not taking as many freshmen on the roster,

240
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>only taking two and going and getting transfer guys that

241
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 1>had a ton of experience to go along with the

242
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 1>returners that he had in the mix. I'll be trying

243
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.799
<v Speaker 1>to get some of those answers from him. But, like

244
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 1>what we've talked about, he said after the Start Build

245
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Regional that they he didn't feel like they ran out

246
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of gas. He felt like they simply ran out of arms.

247
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 1>And now they are not going to have that problem

248
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>anymore because they have twenty total pictures on the roster

249
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>and they have some elite skilled players like a Blaze Rodriguez,

250
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 1>like a Noah Lewis, you know, like a Cole Brown,

251
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and then O saw your preud as the other freshman

252
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the big four that we've talked about. They have a

253
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 1>ton of skilled players to go along with the pitching

254
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>staff that they have now built up with the transfers

255
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 1>that they're bringing in the extensive amount of transfers that

256
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 1>they're bringing in is what is stands out the most

257
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 1>to me at this point you know. That is what's

258
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 1>going to be interesting to see as we see them

259
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 1>face off against some of these instate opponents and seeing

260
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>how they're how well they're going to jail together. This

261
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 1>is the opportunity that they will have where you'll be

262
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>able to see, Okay, here's who we can have at

263
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>first base, here's who we can have at second Maybe

264
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 1>we can rotate differently at this position. Here's who you

265
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>got in the outfield. You can try this person in

266
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the left field, this person at center, this person at right.

267
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 1>You have the opportunity to see who's going to be

268
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>your main starter out of your bullpen, who's going to

269
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>be an ace for you, who's going to be your

270
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Friday guy, your Saturday guy, your Sunday guy. This is

271
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 1>the first opportunity that you have to learn about what

272
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>this team will be made of. You have the opportunity

273
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>to see how hard they're willing to work. They're going

274
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.799
<v Speaker 1>through their workouts now and that will carry over even

275
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>more into the fall. But once they get out there

276
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and they're actually playing some live action against a different opponent,

277
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that's when you'll be able to see what your team

278
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>is truly made of. So it'll be fun to see

279
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>what Team one thirteen will look like as we inch

280
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>closer to the season through the fallball action that's going

281
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to wrap up yet another episode of Rage and Rundown.

282
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:30.600
