<v Speaker 1>Sports fourteen fifty eight.

10
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 3>All right, just taking care of some things that pertain

11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 3>to the university. Couple sionees for the softball team, whoever

12
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>was it. Jalen Adams was from Iowa. I believe she

13
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 3>made the second second team All Conference, All Big Ten,

14
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 3>All Big Ten. And then Janee Barry from Indiana, she

15
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 3>she came through. There was also a four star. I

16
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 3>don't know if this one's been mentioned, but Riley Holder

17
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>from the Impact the Gold Organization also signed with the

18
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 3>softball team. But I mean good signs.

19
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 4>They mean they ranked her as a four star. They

20
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 4>actually had the star ranking for that on on three

21
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 4>or on three Okay, okay, okay. Back when I was

22
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 4>really covering softball, you would see just recruiting rankings, and

23
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 4>they were so scattered really all that, Like carl Scoopen

24
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 4>was unranked oh Man on one service, and then she

25
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 4>was forty eighth on the other.

26
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 3>It's like okay, well that's a top ten player.

27
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

28
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 4>And they had one girl that was in the top

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 4>ten that never played. So yeah, yeah, very scattered rankings.

30
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Usually Tara goes.

31
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess probably like getting more down to

32
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 3>it just because like there's more money getting pumped into it,

33
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 3>I'd assume, yeah, keeping it going. A new track and

34
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 3>field and cross country ghost got announced today. Andrew Dubbs. Right,

50
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 3>haven't played yet. So yeah, that's that's gonna be one

51
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 3>to look out for. Getting onto horse racing, getting on

58
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 3>good race. Nice race. The Diamondbacks they play they play

59
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.039

70
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 4>For that, you know, but yeah, no, I mean Tory Lavello.

71
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 4>They made the World Series twenty twenty three, but they

72
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 4>ended the seasonly crap what They ended that season on

73
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 4>a four game losing street before the playoffs.

74
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

75
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 4>Last last year, Uh, they lost the series to the Rockies.

76
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 4>They blew an eight nothing lead to the Brewers got

77
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 4>swept by the Padres, miss missing the playoffs by one

78
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 4>game after having a seven game lead, to only two

79
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 4>postgame postseason appearances. And this season just very underwhelming and

80
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 4>after nine years, yeah, you know, if it's not working.

81
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I remember, like I think last week or maybe a

82
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 3>week and a half ago, there was a lot of

83
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 3>people like questioning his decision about pitching Corbyn Burns on

84
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 3>like a maybe, like the very like brink of his rest,

85
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 3>of when he was supposed to rest, or like like

86
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 3>a day early.

87
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Well what happened was they were deciding between Gallon and

88
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Corbyn Burns who was going to be the opening days starter.

89
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 4>Corbyn Burns is the better pitcher these days. He should

90
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 4>have been the opening day start, but they gave it

91
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 4>to Gallen out of respect. But Burns had his starts

92
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 4>lined up perfectly for that, so it pushed him back,

93
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 4>and then they had to push his other start, so

94
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 4>it messed up his rhythm. At the beginning of the season,

95
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 4>he got off on a bumpy start, had a couple issues,

96
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 4>got back on track, and now you're having Tommy John.

97
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying that caused to Tommy John. Who knows

98
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 4>how it's caused. It's unpredictable. But decisions in the bullpen,

99
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 4>decisions with the lineups.

100
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 3>Who who would you want to manage that team? You know?

101
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 4>I like Mark de rosa MLB network. He manages Team

102
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 4>USA last couple of years, bringing in a fresh face.

103
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 4>He's a young guy that knows the game very well.

104
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 4>Former player Miguel Montero is in the system and is

105
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.959
<v Speaker 4>regarded as a guy potentially in waiting. He's like in

106
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 4>the front office like Craig Counsel was in the front

107
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 4>office for Milwaukee. But honestly, I don't know if it's

108
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 4>a matter of who, because there's usually a lot of

109
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 4>names that nobody hears about, like bench coaches and stuff

110
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 4>like that, like Tory was. But after hearing the same

111
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 4>red Rick and just seeing how the players have played,

112
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 4>you got blown out by Pittsburgh.

113
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 3>You got blown out by the Rockies. You got you need.

114
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>That's not good if you been getting blown up by

115
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh and Colorado.

116
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

117
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 4>The other day against the Reds, he lost one to thirteen. Yeah,

118
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 4>after losing the first game of a double header because

119
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 4>of a rain to Land. Then he got whooped in

120
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 4>the last game. So it is that the efforts is

121
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 4>out there. Tickets on sale, right, dude.

122
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 3>That was a crazy throw by Ellie though over that

123
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 3>was over the weekend, right, you know what.

124
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 4>I was listening on radio, so I was working side

125
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 4>and really bro yeah, yeah, yeah, he's that on Sunday or.

126
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I think what Sunday or Saturday, like just like

127
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 3>probably like shallow outfield just hosed man the fast guy, yes, yeah,

128
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 3>just absolutely hosed them from second. It was it was crazy.

129
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 3>I think the ball they said like one of like yeah,

130
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 3>he just yeah, that guy is a rocket for an

131
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 3>arm keeping it going though. Finals Game two happened on

132
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 3>Sunday yesterday.

133
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 2>I think the guys, the UI guys combined like for

134
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four points blah blah blah.

135
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 3>They were out of it the whole game though. Yeah yeah, yeah,

136
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 3>final score was one twenty three to one oh seven.

137
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Not even that close. Probably, No, mean they stretched it.

138
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 3>They stretched it a little bit. I was, I was,

139
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't watching. I was keeping up with the score

140
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 3>just because it's like, I mean, that's how the Pacers are,

141
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean. It's like they get down,

142
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 3>they come back, make it a game at the end,

143
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 3>and the Halliburton just steals the show usually.

144
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>And I don't want to say every game doesn't matter,

145
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 4>but you did your job. You stole one. Yeah, all right,

146
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 4>yeah for sure, So just handle business at home.

147
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

148
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 3>And then there was a there was a quote here

149
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>that I was going to read, but anyways, Haliburton pretty

150
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 3>much just saying that he needs to get off to

151
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 3>a better start in the first half. Well then, and

152
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 3>him and the team had nineteen turnovers in Game one's

153
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 3>first half. I'm not sure how many they had. And

154
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 3>this one keeping it going though, Oilers and Panthers. Man,

155
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm not usually a hockey guy, but man,

156
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 3>this series is bonkers, dude. I mean, first one goes

157
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 3>so to they already played an extra game because of

158
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 3>ot and I think in the in the first period

159
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 3>on Friday, there were two There was like five minutes

160
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 3>left in the first period and it's like three to

161
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.879
<v Speaker 3>two and it's just like, dude, what like I mean

162
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 3>they know each other, you know what I mean. They're

163
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.279
<v Speaker 3>great teams obviously, but man, I don't think I'm gonna

164
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 3>get into hockey. But I'm gonna keep up with this

165
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 3>series very closely.

166
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.519
<v Speaker 4>But you can do it for me because they're I'm

167
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 4>not a hockey person.

168
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 3>Dude, I've tried. I can't do it. Too cold cold

169
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 3>in this room. I grew up. I grew up here

170
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 3>in Arizona. They're in.

171
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 4>There isn't any ice out there in the Coyotes mood.

172
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 4>You know what my thoughts were? Yeah, oh well no, yeah,

173
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 4>I believe it. I know a lot of people were sad.

174
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 4>People loved it, but I me too.

175
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's I don't know, it's easier for me to

176
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 3>watch soccer than watch hockey. So and you know what,

177
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a big soccer person, but I agree. Yeah,

178
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why because borying me right now? Are

179
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 3>you just yelling? Sorry? And this court is one nothing

180
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 3>after ninety minutes, Uh, Cocoa golf won the what she

181
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 3>went the French Open and beat Sablenka to win. That

182
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 3>would you see that the quote. Do you see the quotes.

183
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see the quotes.

184
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I saw Sablinka and her interaction with her coach while

185
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 4>she's getting beat. She's yelling at them after every point,

186
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 4>like what are you doing? You're the one out there

187
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 4>on the kinnis qore.

188
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>What struck me was the quotes about her about from

189
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>her saying, you know, I didn't play very well today,

190
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>YadA YadA.

191
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 3>It was just not a good day.

192
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>And I guess people like you know Twitter, you know,

193
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>dumb dumb Twitter, criticizing for her not giving golf credit.

194
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 2>And I'm seeing this is what we're the world that

195
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>we live in now. Guess what, Although although you can

196
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>go she she went back and apologized for not doing that,

197
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>but I quoted I said these quotes. I'm not gonna apologize.

198
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't play well. Whether she made it look

199
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that way or whatever. I don't think I should have

200
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>to apologize for saying she beat me.

201
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 4>So she should she say, you know what, I'm just

202
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 4>not very good.

203
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 2>She's the exactly well that's and she apologized, you know,

204
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 2>I should have given her more credit or whatever. Yeah,

205
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but maybe, but still, if you get beat and you

206
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't play well, she said. She said, I had a

207
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of one first turnovers. I played pretty badly.

208
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

209
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's why I was saying this. Guess what

210
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>she won? The other girl won? Okay, big deal.

211
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's a lot of people on social media

212
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 4>that shouldn't be tweeting out their opinion and stuff like that.

213
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 3>You're exactly.

214
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.159

<v Speaker 3>bunch of money out of that. It was live betty.

234

<v Speaker 4>first bucket? Is she gonna make her first bass? So no, sorry,

237
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.519

238

<v Speaker 4>her to put in the ball? They'll have ten rebounds?

239
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 3>So I didn't see how much like the payout was,

240

256

<v Speaker 3>Was it thirteen dollars? Yeah, thirteen dollars?

257
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.879

258
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Of the world. What are the odds you're gonna hit

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seven dollars to get out of that ticket.

262
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.240
<v Speaker 3>And I should just keep going.

263
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:39.440

267
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 2>For the next well, I guess they would if if

268
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Edmonton lost, right, then it would go down more.

269

430
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.599
<v Speaker 6>Have you slept yes, Uh, yeah, there's been some sleeping

431
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.039
<v Speaker 6>here and there. But uh, you know, I got to

432
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 6>recalibrate because I was on Eastern Time for about four

433
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.759
<v Speaker 6>or five days and then I'll be on Central Time

434

<v Speaker 6>here in a couple of days.

435
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Was it well, the scenery and the expectation was it

436
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't match it?

437
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

438
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.240
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, North Carolina is. I mean, first and foremost is

439
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.400
<v Speaker 6>just the beautiful campus there. That was actually the school

440
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.920
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to go to growing up in New Jersey,

441
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 6>and I visited there and I applied, didn't get in,

442
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 6>and that's how I ended up out in Arizona. But

443
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 6>it was great to get to go back and check

444
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 6>all that out. But it was a beautiful setting, very

445
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 6>nice stadium packed, super polite people, just very welcoming, great atmosphere.

446
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 2>And all that.

447
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 6>And then I mean you combine that with a dramatic

448
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 6>three game series where Arizona starts and just gets destroyed

449
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.559
<v Speaker 6>the first game and somehow manages to just flush that.

450
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 6>They kept using that word, that phrase, come back and

451
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 6>do a back and forth game for the second one,

452
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 6>and then they really looked like they were left for

453
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 6>dead there late in the third one, and get one

454
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 6>little break they said they just needed a crack, and

455
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 6>they got it and took advantage, and now they're going

456
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 6>back to Omaha.

457
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 4>You know everybody talks about, especially managers, flushing it, erasing

458
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.559
<v Speaker 4>it from your memory and just moving on. Clearly they

459
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 4>did that, and did you get a sense in that

460
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:20.400
<v Speaker 4>second game just a different mentality from the first kind

461
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 4>of a different I don't want to say different character,

462
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 4>different team out there, because they've been doing it all year,

463
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:29.160
<v Speaker 4>but just non worries, some vibe out there by the team,

464
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 4>like a confidence. I guess you would.

465
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 6>Say, yeah, it's The thing is is that this has

466
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.759
<v Speaker 6>happened all year. In the Big Twelve, they went four

467
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.440
<v Speaker 6>and six in series openers and still managed to go

468
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 6>eighteen and twelve in the league. So it gives you

469
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.119
<v Speaker 6>an idea of how they didn't let that first result

470
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 6>really affect it. There were three times, I believe where

471
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 6>they lost the first game in the series and then

472
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 6>came back and won the series. So and a couple

473
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 6>of those were on the road. So they've shown the

474
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 6>ability to just take the loss and move on and

475
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:05.960
<v Speaker 6>not let that stuff carry over. But then at the

476
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 6>same time, they've been able to use the momentum from

477
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.759
<v Speaker 6>a win and push that. So it's almost like there's

478
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 6>different switches that they can compartmentalize the loss but feed

479
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 6>off of the win.

480
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>So when the season started, what did you think from

481
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.880
<v Speaker 2>your eyes, what were the expectations of how good this

482
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.680
<v Speaker 2>team could.

483
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 6>Be based on talent and experience, the age of the

484
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:32.720
<v Speaker 6>team and all of that, and the weird history of

485
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 6>this program. Omaha was a very realistic goal for this

486
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.680
<v Speaker 6>team if it could navigate this new conference the way

487
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.240
<v Speaker 6>it had the tail end of the time in the

488
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 6>Big Twelve. It's such a weird thing. Since two thousand

489
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 6>and four, every four NCAA tournaments Arizona has had gone

490
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 6>to at least the Super Regionals, not to Omaha, and

491
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 6>since twenty twelve now it's in every fourth tournament twelve, sixteen,

492
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 6>twenty one because everything shut down in twenty and now

493
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 6>twenty five. Part of that's kind of the cyclical nature

494
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 6>of college baseball, because you end up having these classes

495
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:16.000
<v Speaker 6>every three or four years that you have a junior

496
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:20.000
<v Speaker 6>and senior heavy team that it all comes together, And

497
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:22.799
<v Speaker 6>that seemed to be what I was looking at at

498
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 6>the beginning of the season, with the fact that their

499
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 6>lineup has seven juniors and seniors in the starting line,

500
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.680
<v Speaker 6>in the hitting order, and that's what you need in

501
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.079
<v Speaker 6>these tournaments to have that experience. It was shaky a

502
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 6>lot during the season. There were a lot of things

503
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 6>that went wrong, and even two weeks left in the regular.

504
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Season, it wasn't looking good.

505
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:45.599
<v Speaker 6>They looked like they could have a couple more straight

506
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:47.799
<v Speaker 6>losses and they might have found themselves on the bubble hole.

507
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:50.720
<v Speaker 6>They right at the ship and they're winning when they're

508
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.119
<v Speaker 6>supposed to.

509
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's kind of where I want to go with

510
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the next question, because so you had them at a

511
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 2>home possibly at the beginning of the year. Was there

512
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.160
<v Speaker 2>a time in there or you doubted their ability to

513
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 2>move forward?

514
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, there was. There was a stretch in late in

515
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.559
<v Speaker 6>mid May where they were late April and then into

516
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 6>May they struggled in a series at Texas Tech, which

517
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.759
<v Speaker 6>was not a good team. And then they come home

518
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 6>and they.

519
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Take two out of.

520
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 6>Three from TCU, who's one of the top teams in

521
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 6>the league, and you're like, okay, well, and then they

522
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:26.519
<v Speaker 6>get it figured out. Then they played the last place

523
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 6>team in the league, Utah, and lose the first two

524
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.799
<v Speaker 6>games of that series and just look like they are

525
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.599
<v Speaker 6>not focused, that they don't have what it takes, and

526
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 6>you're just wondering, is this a team that's playing up

527
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 6>and down to the level of competition or maybe they

528
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.480
<v Speaker 6>just it's not there. And then they go to Houston,

529
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:44.480
<v Speaker 6>which is another team that was towards the bottom, and

530
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.799
<v Speaker 6>get beat pretty bad in the first game, and you're like, Okay, well,

531
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.240
<v Speaker 6>I maybe this just isn't it. And then from the

532
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 6>second game of that Houston series at the end of

533
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 6>the regular season, since it's it's almost been a different team,

534
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.160
<v Speaker 6>but it's not. It's the same players. It's maybe they

535
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.880
<v Speaker 6>collectively realize that if they want to keep playing, they

536
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 6>have to figure this out and not overlook people and

537
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.880
<v Speaker 6>treat every game like it's the last game of the season.

538
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it seemed to be somewhat of a wake up

539
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.279
<v Speaker 4>call in terms of going into the Big Twelve tournament

540
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:17.759
<v Speaker 4>and racking off the wins that they did and then

541
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 4>getting the wins up in the Eugene Regional. But you know,

542
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 4>one of the keys to this team seems to be

543
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 4>the bullpen and the outstanding job that they've been doing

544
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 4>and keeping the team in it even when the starting

545
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:34.440
<v Speaker 4>pinching hasn't gone to plan. Just your thoughts on the

546
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:39.440
<v Speaker 4>bullpen and specifically Turning Polita and the job he's done

547
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 4>this postseason.

548
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:44.759
<v Speaker 6>At the back end of Arizona's bullpen has definitely been

549
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.000
<v Speaker 6>maybe the biggest strength in the most consistent part of

550
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:50.720
<v Speaker 6>the team. The pitching was going to be the big

551
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 6>question mark this year because the entire starting rotation and

552
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 6>the closer from last year got drafted, and the guys

553
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 6>that they back in the fall probably thought were going

554
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 6>to be the start in the rotation didn't end up being.

555
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.240
<v Speaker 6>They started the season with a a sophomore who had

556
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.960
<v Speaker 6>pitched five innings last year, and then a red shirt

557
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 6>sophomore and a true freshman as their starting pitchers, and

558
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:16.680
<v Speaker 6>there were some headaches here and there, and it led

559
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 6>to the bullpen getting overused in the middle of the season.

560
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.599
<v Speaker 6>But keeing with this stretch is the starting pitching started

561
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 6>to be a little more reliable. This Regional, the Super

562
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 6>Regional here those first two games that didn't show and

563
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 6>that that's where the bullpen really stepped up. And Tony

564
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 6>Fluta is at the forefront of that. He hasn't allowed

565
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 6>an earned run. He hasn't allowed to run since April first,

566
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 6>he's allowed I think five for the year, and only

567
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:51.000
<v Speaker 6>one in a leverage situation. He through fifty two pitches

568
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.359
<v Speaker 6>on Saturday, the most of his career, and comes back

569
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 6>the next day and goes one, two, three in the

570
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:57.960
<v Speaker 6>ninth to clinch at spot in Omaha. The kid is

571
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 6>five to eight at the most, probably five to seven.

572
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 6>Nothing about him screams closer, but he just he has

573
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 6>a something about him where he just is determined to

574
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.599
<v Speaker 6>not mess up. And he's the back end of a

575
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 6>group that includes a couple of firearms in Julian Tojini

576
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 6>and Hunter Alberini, who I think combined or averaging about

577
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.079
<v Speaker 6>fifteen strikeouts per nine innings. They've got a kind of

578
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 6>a funky side armed dude in Casey hints that he

579
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 6>was one of the dudes that got overused a lot

580
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.880
<v Speaker 6>earlier in the season, so he's had some rough games.

581
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 6>But they just they have a lot of arms there

582
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 6>that they can depend on, and they what's been amazing

583
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:41.559
<v Speaker 6>is they most of the season they haven't had to

584
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.480
<v Speaker 6>have these guys pitch a lot in one weekend, maybe

585
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 6>twice on a Friday Sunday, but they haven't overworked them

586
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:53.240
<v Speaker 6>too much to where I think they're going into Omaha

587
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 6>having a really good strength in that area.

588
00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.039
<v Speaker 2>So you've covered for all this time here, I'm assuming

589
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 2>because you've been around from time. I don't know him

590
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 2>well at all, but to me watching or listening to

591
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>him on the TV during those in interviews for the innings,

592
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, in between innings, he came up to me

593
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.319
<v Speaker 2>as kind of Tommy leydish, kind of likable, funny, kind

594
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.240
<v Speaker 2>of self effacing.

595
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Is he that guy?

596
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:17.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

597
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 6>And the thing is that he does not like doing

598
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 6>those in game interviews. No coach does. But he's he

599
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.599
<v Speaker 6>just knows that there, you know, there's a value to

600
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 6>him and he's gonna have fun with it and he's

601
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 6>been in the game long enough that he understands why

602
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:36.599
<v Speaker 6>that is part of it. Yeah, he's he's got a

603
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 6>weird kind of personality where he's he can be a

604
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.880
<v Speaker 6>little bit like poking fun at you as you've seen

605
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 6>like that Tommy Lloyd will like to do and all that,

606
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.440
<v Speaker 6>but not to where it's mean or anyway. It's just say, hey,

607
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 6>you know, let's enjoy what's been here. And a lot

608
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 6>of that comes from he is home. He has lived

609
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.440
<v Speaker 6>in Tucson ever since he played here in the eighties,

610
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:01.759
<v Speaker 6>he's always kept the home here. It's where his wife

611
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 6>and his kids have been when he was in the

612
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 6>pros as a player, and then as a coach and

613
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.079
<v Speaker 6>the Miners, and then throughout his time in the major leagues.

614
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.400
<v Speaker 6>Even his last gig before the U of A, he

615
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 6>was the assistant coach for the Tigers. He had himself

616
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 6>an apartment in Detroit, but Tucson was his home and

617
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.160
<v Speaker 6>so being able to be here, he's just very relaxed

618
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 6>and enjoying this, but not to where it's I don't

619
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:28.839
<v Speaker 6>care what the results are. This is his school. It

620
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.559
<v Speaker 6>means a lot to him and to be somebody who

621
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:35.319
<v Speaker 6>has taken the school that he that he went to

622
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:37.559
<v Speaker 6>and that he won a title as a player, and

623
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.839
<v Speaker 6>now to get to go back, I mean, it can't

624
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 6>be understated how important that is them. And today is

625
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 6>the thirty ninth anniversary of when he won a World

626
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:47.359
<v Speaker 6>Series title with Arizona.

627
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's a lot of interesting storylines going into

628
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.880
<v Speaker 4>the College World Series of Arizona, Oregon and UCLA packed

629
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 4>well former packedwall schools all being their kind of powerhouses,

630
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 4>but also coastal Careen and Arizona rematch of the twenty

631
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.799
<v Speaker 4>sixteen World Series, and potentially Arizona versus LSU at some point,

632
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.759
<v Speaker 4>maybe Jay Johnson being there out on the field, and

633
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 4>you guys, you Levi and Javier and Morales are going

634
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 4>to be out there and get a chance to interview

635
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 4>Jay Johnson. I think it would be his first interview

636
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:23.079
<v Speaker 4>with a U of A reporters since leaving Tucsons.

637
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So.

638
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 6>We're definitely looking forward to that. And there would have

639
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.480
<v Speaker 6>been possibilities for this to happen in the tournament in

640
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.599
<v Speaker 6>previous years. In twenty two, had Arizona won its regional

641
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.400
<v Speaker 6>and Coral Gables, it could have faced LSU in the

642
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 6>super regionals. And even this past year, had Arizona in

643
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:47.240
<v Speaker 6>twenty four, had they won their regional, they were lined

644
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 6>up with a regional that have LSU in it. So

645
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.400
<v Speaker 6>it's almost like it's been there on the tees. And

646
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 6>the only way it can happen in Omaha is if

647
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:56.920
<v Speaker 6>Arizona went its side of the bracket and LSU wins

648
00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 6>its side and they play a best of three championships

649
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 6>at the end. But even just him being there, I mean,

650
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.359
<v Speaker 6>he's going to get questions about Arizona because there's a

651
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.960
<v Speaker 6>familiarity there. But first, before you get to that point,

652
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 6>you have the rematch of the twenty sixteen championship series

653
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.880
<v Speaker 6>with Coastal Carolina, and it's just very funny that those

654
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.559
<v Speaker 6>are the first two schools that clinch spots is Arizona

655
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.200
<v Speaker 6>and Coastal, and Coastal hasn't been back since they won

656
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 6>that title, and a lot of the teams that are

657
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.759
<v Speaker 6>in this year, like Arizona hasn't been back since twenty one,

658
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 6>only two other schools that are in this field have

659
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.200
<v Speaker 6>been back more recently. So it's a very wide open

660
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 6>field in that respect. But yet you've got Oregon State

661
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 6>on Arizona's side, who they've had so many great battles

662
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.160
<v Speaker 6>with over the year and over the years, and last

663
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 6>year Arizona walked off the Beavers at High Corbett Field

664
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 6>to win the final TACK twelve regular season title. UCLA's

665
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:55.640
<v Speaker 6>on the other side, had a lot of great ones

666
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 6>with them. Last year, Arizona walked them off three games

667
00:32:58.279 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 6>in a row and that was kind of the beginning

668
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:05.119
<v Speaker 6>of run towards the conference championships. So there's storylines for

669
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.400
<v Speaker 6>days and there's not going to be any shortage of

670
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 6>things to talk about and write about.

671
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 2>So I was going to ask you one of those questions.

672
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:14.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure Desirae was out there North Carolina. I

673
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>think one of the big questions is do you think

674
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>he'll be extended anytime soon?

675
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 6>I cannot see any reason why he wouldn't. And unless

676
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:31.839
<v Speaker 6>that Desirahs has a hard and fast policy of no extensions,

677
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.880
<v Speaker 6>you play out your fing no extensions while you have

678
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:40.440
<v Speaker 6>an active contract. It seems foolish. But I guess maybe

679
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.640
<v Speaker 6>in the current landscape where there's so much year to

680
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 6>year stuff, the needed security for recruiting purposes of having

681
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.559
<v Speaker 6>that doesn't seem to have as much weight anymore. But

682
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:55.680
<v Speaker 6>it's more a matter of like, why wouldn't you want

683
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 6>to extend the coach that has had the success he's

684
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 6>had in his four years. Is It's not like he's

685
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 6>not gonna want a huge raise. He just wants to

686
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:09.239
<v Speaker 6>continue to coach his school, and it just seems like

687
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.559
<v Speaker 6>this would be the perfect time to announce something like that.

688
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.079
<v Speaker 6>I thought the same thing four years ago when they

689
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 6>went there with Jay Johnson. He was going to be

690
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 6>finishing up the fourth year of a fifth year contract,

691
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Speaker 6>and myself and Michael lev from The Star both asked

692
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.440
<v Speaker 6>Dave he the ad at the time, he when's the

693
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:28.800
<v Speaker 6>extension coming? And he just kind of laughted off, like

694
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 6>we'll be getting something done soon. And a week later,

695
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 6>j Johnson has left to go to LSU. I don't

696
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.599
<v Speaker 6>think Chip Hall would leave for another job. I think

697
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 6>this is the last job he's going to have and

698
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 6>he'll be here until he retires. But you still want

699
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 6>to kind of reward someone for what they've done.

700
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you for my final question, I did

701
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 2>to make your answers shorter. Arizona win the title. If

702
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:55.199
<v Speaker 2>this happens, Arizona won't win the title.

703
00:34:55.199 --> 00:35:00.280
<v Speaker 6>If this happens, Arizona will win the title if it

704
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 6>gets at least four innings from its starters every time

705
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:09.039
<v Speaker 6>the starting pitchers. It won't if it has to keep

706
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 6>going super deep into the bullpen every game, because you're

707
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.639
<v Speaker 6>just going to run out of bombs. They got the

708
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 6>offense for it, you know, they don't have a super

709
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.440
<v Speaker 6>strong offense, but this is a really big stadium, so

710
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 6>it's like playing at High Corbett and I think that

711
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:26.760
<v Speaker 6>might be a They're going to be more comfortable there

712
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.639
<v Speaker 6>than some of these other schools that play in tiny

713
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:31.840
<v Speaker 6>parks and are used to getting a lot of their

714
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 6>runs by just hitting it over the wall.

715
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, Brian, good luck to be safe on the

716
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 2>road all that stuff. Keep eye on eye on what's

717
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>going on.

718
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, thanks for having me.

719
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:49.159

725
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Lout it was a labor of love through the eyes

726
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.639
<v Speaker 2>of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give

727
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:09.760
<v Speaker 2>insight to the coach and the man who led them,

728
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:12.920
<v Speaker 2>competed against them, and inspired them twenty five chapters for

729
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.480

798
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 6>Oh.

799
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 2>One of the things we did you to talk about

800
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.159
<v Speaker 2>because it was Friday, it was the softball which with

801
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the Texas Tech in Texas Decanti, who's the A D

802
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:15.159
<v Speaker 2>there former assistant ad here champion in softball.

803
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.239
<v Speaker 3>Uh, she got rocked man right away. It was crazy.

804
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:21.559
<v Speaker 2>She got corrupt and you could. We talked about were

805
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 2>you here Thursday? What day were you were here? I

806
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.400
<v Speaker 2>was here Monday, Monday, So we talked about that. She

807
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't look good Thursday.

808
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:27.480
<v Speaker 3>She was there.

809
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:29.960
<v Speaker 2>She was getting getting tired. You can see when we're thinking,

810
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure she can hold it.

811
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.360
<v Speaker 4>I think I think part of it is tired. She

812
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:35.159
<v Speaker 4>also had that I think she had like a blizzard

813
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 4>or something like that. She had some type of issue.

814
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:41.599
<v Speaker 2>And then she had just signed, the announcement had come

815
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 2>that she had just signed.

816
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 4>But I think the bigger thing is more than tiredness,

817
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.639
<v Speaker 4>because now they have even more games in between, I

818
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.559
<v Speaker 4>mean more time off in between, so you it's almost

819
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:53.800
<v Speaker 4>like a regular season. Stretch now is the fact that

820
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 4>Texas just saw her. A lot of everybody had a

821
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.199
<v Speaker 4>lot of tape on her. They were good, they're very good.

822
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:02.719
<v Speaker 4>At the first game, she blew that game. You're trying

823
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 4>to walk a hit her. It made no sense and

824
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:06.199
<v Speaker 4>you throw it right down the middle of that when

825
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:09.400
<v Speaker 4>you only, like Jenny Dalton block uh brought up, you've

826
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.639
<v Speaker 4>only walked three players your whole entire career. Good luck

827
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.360
<v Speaker 4>the second game, you know, they they kind of figured

828
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:18.000
<v Speaker 4>it out, figured it out at the end of that

829
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:21.039
<v Speaker 4>game Texas, and then they just opened up a huge

830
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 4>can in the third game, and it's hard to battle back.

831
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, there was so many runs to do that.

832
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.079
<v Speaker 2>But what a good showing by all up. I just

833
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.800
<v Speaker 2>really loved watching it this year for some reason. I

834
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:34.719
<v Speaker 2>watched it a few times. Obviously a few times are

835
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.920
<v Speaker 2>covered a few times, but it's always fun because these

836
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:38.400
<v Speaker 2>these women are just fantastic.

837
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:41.840
<v Speaker 4>Athe I'll say this, and everybody loves college baseball that's

838
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:45.840
<v Speaker 4>going on right now, but the best brand in terms

839
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:49.760
<v Speaker 4>of players at their prime is called softball. You have

840
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:52.679
<v Speaker 4>the best players. You have great defense, great field, and

841
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.320
<v Speaker 4>great hitting. Because they're not going off to another.

842
00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:58.079
<v Speaker 3>Level, although they did have that yesterday. I saw some

843
00:41:58.159 --> 00:41:59.159
<v Speaker 3>of that yesterday. Yeah, they have.

844
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:01.960
<v Speaker 4>They have the a U s L League going on

845
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:04.519
<v Speaker 4>right now. But you're not seeing the best high school

846
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.119
<v Speaker 4>players in a minor league, right You're seeing them develop

847
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:09.599
<v Speaker 4>and play at the highest level in the college softball stage.

848
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and now baseball is kind of intrigued me. It's

849
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:14.280
<v Speaker 2>still the slower game or whatever. It's a faster game

850
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:17.599
<v Speaker 2>now with a pitch county, with up pitchcount, with the speedball,

851
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:19.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty seconds I think.

852
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:21.760
<v Speaker 5>Count.

853
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I'll get that. Yeah, yeah, so it's become more interesting.

854
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:27.320
<v Speaker 3>It's faster. It's faster, yea.

855
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.679
<v Speaker 4>But the talent level, I don't want to say, it's

856
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:33.880
<v Speaker 4>not what it is. It isn't what it is for softball,

857
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:36.280
<v Speaker 4>and it's not its own fault. It's not college baseball's fault.

858
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:37.360
<v Speaker 4>It's just the way the system.

859
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:42.840
<v Speaker 2>So I asked him about extending CHIP. She has probably

860
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:46.440
<v Speaker 2>have to, well not probably has to, but announcement should

861
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:47.000
<v Speaker 2>be coming soon.

862
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.440
<v Speaker 4>With kaitl Lo, I would assume with Chip, first, what

863
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:54.280
<v Speaker 4>do you mean, I would assume with CHIP, you definitely

864
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:55.119
<v Speaker 4>need to extend Oh.

865
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, no question, no question. And how could you

866
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:02.599
<v Speaker 2>not extend Kaitlin obviously, she she finished it was eighteen fourteen,

867
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:03.000
<v Speaker 2>eight forty.

868
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.400
<v Speaker 3>We talked about this right now. I know you're critical.

869
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I get it for forty eight to thirteen, yeah, eighteenth, Yeah,

870
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

871
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:13.599
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a and it's not just Caitlin.

872
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Know that I have a few issues well, and Caitlin's

873
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.400
<v Speaker 4>a great, good coach, great person, but there's other issues

874
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:25.280
<v Speaker 4>on the staff that needs correcting. Sure, there's recruiting philosophies

875
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 4>that need fixing. And when you have a roster that

876
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.320
<v Speaker 4>has dwindled to this much, and I know they just

877
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:33.880
<v Speaker 4>got two players that the last couple of days, there's

878
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:34.880
<v Speaker 4>really Yes, well.

879
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.239
<v Speaker 2>I think Desraey had to deal with this in football

880
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:39.880
<v Speaker 2>right for sure. And we don't know this to be fact,

881
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:42.480
<v Speaker 2>but we had read it on a month ago, which

882
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:46.800
<v Speaker 2>was fantastic. Yeah that Des Ray maybe said you need

883
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:51.360
<v Speaker 2>to make some changes or yeah, I'm just saying it's

884
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:51.800
<v Speaker 2>hard to.

885
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:56.199
<v Speaker 4>People want to celebrate the season, but the expectations of

886
00:43:56.239 --> 00:43:57.239
<v Speaker 4>the program are what they are.

887
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Are they realistic though really no no I'm not. I'm

888
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:01.280
<v Speaker 3>not talking about nineties.

889
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:07.559
<v Speaker 4>Nineties aren't realistic, but being able that yeah, you can't talk,

890
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.880
<v Speaker 4>so at least you stay there. Okay, no, no, that's

891
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:12.639
<v Speaker 4>not what I'm talking about. But the expectation for Arizona

892
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.519
<v Speaker 4>in this age of softball, and it's realistic. You should

893
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:18.960
<v Speaker 4>be in a super regional almost every year because because

894
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.159
<v Speaker 4>you should be hosting and you should be winning those.

895
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Because but no, no, no, I think you're that's the

896
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.599
<v Speaker 2>reason why you should be in those reasons. Why because

897
00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:27.280
<v Speaker 2>you're in Arizona.

898
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:28.960
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, you should have the tent. They don't.

899
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:30.960
<v Speaker 4>They don't have the talent to consistently be there, right,

900
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:34.880
<v Speaker 4>and you should, right, But how is how recruit If

901
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:35.280
<v Speaker 4>you don't.

902
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Have the recruiting, you got to go to the recruit.

903
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.920
<v Speaker 2>But my main point is you made your age. I

904
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:42.239
<v Speaker 2>mean no, I'm like seventy years old just listening to you.

905
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.599
<v Speaker 4>But my main my main point is you should always

906
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.320
<v Speaker 4>have within a shot of getting to Oklahoma. I'm not

907
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:49.159
<v Speaker 4>saying you have to win it every year. That's unrealistic.

908
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.239
<v Speaker 4>You say there, you have to have a realistic shot

909
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.159
<v Speaker 4>of getting there. And to me, this team this year

910
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:57.519
<v Speaker 4>didn't really have a realistic shot unless they had an

911
00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:58.880
<v Speaker 4>amazing pitching performance, and.

912
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.639
<v Speaker 2>They did from time to time, and obviously she was

913
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:03.679
<v Speaker 2>very good and very good. No, I get that.

914
00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:04.119
<v Speaker 6>I think the.

915
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Expectations are unrealistic.

916
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:06.119
<v Speaker 5>I just do.

917
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.960
<v Speaker 3>And you've already missed one tournament. M hm. You kind

918
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:10.599
<v Speaker 3>of got.

919
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:12.880
<v Speaker 4>You got to a women's College World Series with some

920
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:15.320
<v Speaker 4>luck along the way. I just you have to be

921
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:20.480
<v Speaker 4>at a competitive and competitive place to be able to

922
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:22.599
<v Speaker 4>be in that spot where you are competing to get

923
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:25.320
<v Speaker 4>to a World Series. I'm not saying you have to

924
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:27.239
<v Speaker 4>get to a World Series every year, win a World

925
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Series every year. That's long gone, but the beginning of

926
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.440
<v Speaker 4>the year you have to have a roster you believe

927
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:36.000
<v Speaker 4>can get to that point, even if it doesn't. The

928
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.559
<v Speaker 4>talent has to be there. I just don't feel like

929
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:38.239
<v Speaker 4>the talent levels.

930
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I hear you, and I understand what you're saying.

931
00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's not realistic.

932
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like top sixteen, top sixteen would be all right.

933
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I think top twelve.

934
00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's talking more than that, because that's the top.

935
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:55.320
<v Speaker 4>Twelve, top sixteen. You're hosting a regional yep, that's that's

936
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:58.000
<v Speaker 4>the bottom. You should do that every single year. Yeah,

937
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:01.320
<v Speaker 4>if your airs are you should just I think you

938
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:04.079
<v Speaker 4>should be able to compete for a super like hosting

939
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.039
<v Speaker 4>a super regional, not saying you have to do it.

940
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:08.880
<v Speaker 4>If you're in that that seven to twelve range, you

941
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:10.199
<v Speaker 4>have a shot at host Let me ask you.

942
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:11.639
<v Speaker 3>So, I'm gonna want you to be cant.

943
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:14.599
<v Speaker 2>And if I if we asked him that question, I

944
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:18.559
<v Speaker 2>think he'd be diplomatic and see that's not possible. I don't,

945
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 2>But I don't because he's got to play both hands.

946
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:24.199
<v Speaker 2>But he's the coach that got in there and did that.

947
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:27.920
<v Speaker 2>But he's also she's her his guy, right, So I don't.

948
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he'd say that candidly if we pose

949
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:33.360
<v Speaker 2>that question. No, I just don't think it's realistic.

950
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:35.159
<v Speaker 4>I think I mean, he was able to do it

951
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.199
<v Speaker 4>when the game was changing, but it was But I'm

952
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:39.960
<v Speaker 4>talking about no, I'm talking about at the end of

953
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:40.840
<v Speaker 4>his career though.

954
00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, because he gets some breaks too. I mean that

955
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that time when he got him finally to the again,

956
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:50.159
<v Speaker 2>how relieved that everybody wanting in nineteen could have been

957
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.119
<v Speaker 2>nineteen could have been did they go after that?

958
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:54.920
<v Speaker 4>They went in nineteen, they went in twenty one and

959
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:57.119
<v Speaker 4>twenty two. Twenty kids, you had to be money twenty

960
00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:58.280
<v Speaker 4>one or twenty twenty two.

961
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:00.639
<v Speaker 3>They got that was when he.

962
00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:05.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they didn't get it. They were on the

963
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:08.599
<v Speaker 4>road the whole time, okay, and they had the people

964
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:10.840
<v Speaker 4>to do it. They had talent, They had seniors that

965
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:13.039
<v Speaker 4>they were ranked top five in the country. They had

966
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.480
<v Speaker 4>all those seniors returning. They called them the super Seniors. Remember,

967
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:19.239
<v Speaker 4>they kind of faltered throughout the season, had their struggles

968
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.280
<v Speaker 4>and just found a way to get there. And you

969
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.199
<v Speaker 4>know when Owens you and the Women's College World Series,

970
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:25.719
<v Speaker 4>But they found a way to get there.

971
00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:29.719
<v Speaker 2>And I don't I still I'm going to go down

972
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:31.920
<v Speaker 2>to my death with you on this because I just

973
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:32.719
<v Speaker 2>think it's crazy.

974
00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:36.480
<v Speaker 3>We're budding heads on that one. But young kids don't

975
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:36.880
<v Speaker 3>know enough.

976
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.920
<v Speaker 4>And with the Condrea question, of course, a coach that

977
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:46.159
<v Speaker 4>picked the coach in waiting this forrman player, top five

978
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 4>player in the history of this program, maybe top five

979
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:49.199
<v Speaker 4>player in the history of the sport.

980
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:51.480
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to say it's time.

981
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:53.480
<v Speaker 2>For no, no, no, no, no no, that's not like

982
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:57.000
<v Speaker 2>my question would be. Uh one, two questions, are fans

983
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.559
<v Speaker 2>here realistic about the situation that's going on today to

984
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:01.280
<v Speaker 2>day one?

985
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:02.400
<v Speaker 3>And two? Uh?

986
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, how would I ask that The next question

987
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:10.199
<v Speaker 2>to your point, can't can it be consistently done?

988
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:10.400
<v Speaker 6>Not?

989
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma, Oh can it? Can it return to the past?

990
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:17.199
<v Speaker 2>That's too unrealistic too. But but how often or what's

991
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the realistic expectations of going to the World Series consistently?

992
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:25.360
<v Speaker 4>What's the realistic Well, I'm not saying you have to

993
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:27.320
<v Speaker 4>be there every single year, No, no, no, I don't

994
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:31.079
<v Speaker 4>think that's part. But being in a super regional potentially

995
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:33.159
<v Speaker 4>having the right to host. That doesn't mean your hosts

996
00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:35.639
<v Speaker 4>were super regional every year, but at least hosting a

997
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 4>regional every year with a shot to host a super

998
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.599
<v Speaker 4>and being on that competitive balance too, and you might

999
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:42.840
<v Speaker 4>get blown out in some supers.

1000
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.440
<v Speaker 3>It happens. So she's been here four years, right, give

1001
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.639
<v Speaker 3>me her, give me her resume. When is college World Series?

1002
00:48:48.679 --> 00:48:51.639
<v Speaker 4>The first year, missed the tournament completely, which was the

1003
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.400
<v Speaker 4>first time in thirty something years in the program.

1004
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Well outside of a year I think there was when

1005
00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:59.079
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't coaching. Yeah, yeah, no, no, they made the

1006
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.079
<v Speaker 3>tournament that year. Yeah, but oh you've seen completely.

1007
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, missed the tournament completely last year, won the regional.

1008
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:08.880
<v Speaker 4>I forget they were on the road and then got

1009
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:13.519
<v Speaker 4>blown out against Oklahoma State and this year, you know,

1010
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.760
<v Speaker 4>had a good regular season with the record and everything,

1011
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:17.440
<v Speaker 4>and then kind of underwhelming in the regional.

1012
00:49:17.559 --> 00:49:20.559
<v Speaker 2>So you you you watch from Afar, right, you watch

1013
00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:23.719
<v Speaker 2>from Afar. I don't know her style, don't know her from.

1014
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Adam I did, I did.

1015
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:27.840
<v Speaker 4>I did cover her her first year completely. Yes, what's

1016
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:30.639
<v Speaker 4>your style? I would say she wanted to be aggressive,

1017
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:31.960
<v Speaker 4>but they never did that. They said they were going

1018
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:34.440
<v Speaker 4>to run, run the bases more, but it's been base

1019
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:36.159
<v Speaker 4>to base kind of what's kind of is that's.

1020
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I get that, But I'm talking to her style

1021
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:39.199
<v Speaker 2>in terms of personality.

1022
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.679
<v Speaker 3>I think it. I think she's players coach.

1023
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:44.559
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to say easy going, but there's this,

1024
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:47.679
<v Speaker 4>there's this there's a softness right there.

1025
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Tells me you can't have that. And that's that's the

1026
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:52.679
<v Speaker 2>biggest And that's my If that's the case, that's my

1027
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:55.239
<v Speaker 2>issue because you can't have that. I don't care if

1028
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:57.800
<v Speaker 2>it's women or men. You have to have this firm,

1029
00:49:58.239 --> 00:49:59.920
<v Speaker 2>firm grip on coach.

1030
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.559
<v Speaker 3>And maybe she is behind closed doors, but we've.

1031
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Seen well, this is a criticism that Tommy gets.

1032
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's for sure for sure, but I mean

1033
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:10.800
<v Speaker 4>we get it, we get more I don't want to

1034
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:12.760
<v Speaker 4>say more access, but we're there more than we are

1035
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:13.280
<v Speaker 4>at softbare.

1036
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:16.159
<v Speaker 2>How many times can you continue to get to the

1037
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:16.840
<v Speaker 2>sweet sixteen?

1038
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:19.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Before you say how are you going to get?

1039
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:21.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's kind of what that's how you're going to

1040
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.159
<v Speaker 2>be graded for her. This is what her grade is,

1041
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:27.400
<v Speaker 2>right sure, and you're saying she's not getting there often enough.

1042
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Four shots, I'm not sure that's four bullets that you

1043
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.960
<v Speaker 2>want to you know, four bullets aren't enough bullets.

1044
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:35.199
<v Speaker 3>No, So we'll see.

1045
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.000
<v Speaker 2>But to that, to that point and the reason I

1046
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:41.039
<v Speaker 2>asked this question, I still believe that firm coaches are

1047
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:44.239
<v Speaker 2>either are soft in places they need to be soft

1048
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:46.159
<v Speaker 2>and tough in places they need.

1049
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:46.559
<v Speaker 3>To be tough.

1050
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:50.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so, And that's that could be the issue,

1051
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:54.800
<v Speaker 4>and I think that's part of it. And developing has

1052
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:58.440
<v Speaker 4>been a problem. I know Devin developed, especially after her

1053
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.440
<v Speaker 4>injuries in terms of in this, but outside of that,

1054
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:03.960
<v Speaker 4>we talked about all these high level pitchers that they

1055
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.760
<v Speaker 4>had come in and maybe there was missues they didn't

1056
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.840
<v Speaker 4>they never developed. And now I and I used to

1057
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:13.840
<v Speaker 4>Silva goes to ASU and again people get to take

1058
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.239
<v Speaker 4>to social media whatever. But say when you say we

1059
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:19.639
<v Speaker 4>weren't allowed to pitch in all four quadrants.

1060
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well maybe you just weren't good enough.

1061
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, because next year if these girls who leave or

1062
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:27.280
<v Speaker 2>woman who leave and do really well, guess what, they're

1063
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:29.920
<v Speaker 2>a year older. They're a year older. Ye're stronger. You

1064
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:33.239
<v Speaker 2>can't compare next year to this year. I mean next year.

1065
00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:37.039
<v Speaker 2>If you're not a better writer, shame on you, because

1066
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:38.320
<v Speaker 2>you're older and you should be better.

1067
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:39.960
<v Speaker 3>No, I get what you're saying, well.

1068
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:42.480
<v Speaker 2>He's doing fifteen pounds, Well, because you're a year older.

1069
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.039
<v Speaker 4>I think the issue with the pitching and why you

1070
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:48.000
<v Speaker 4>saw all those pictures leave is a player like I

1071
00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:50.840
<v Speaker 4>used to silver her freshman year. Mind you, she reclassified.

1072
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:52.840
<v Speaker 4>She was a year younger than what she should have been.

1073
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Caame in mid season, pitched around one hundred and thirty

1074
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:59.559
<v Speaker 4>innings and this year only only twenty five.

1075
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they do they need devine a lot of the times.

1076
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:05.599
<v Speaker 4>Do they need Yes, yes, but the mindset of we're

1077
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:07.519
<v Speaker 4>going to bullpen it and that's going to be our strategy.

1078
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Now you're always looking.

1079
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:12.039
