Speaker 1: Coffee.
Speaker 2: All right, five o'clock here on a Tuesday afternoon, it's
Speaker 2: Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is going to be truly
Speaker 2: a rapid fire type of segment, because you know, when
Speaker 2: I think rapid fire, I think just you know, a
Speaker 2: new topic every thirty seconds. We're not doing that. But
Speaker 2: I'm on the clock here. I've got until five thirty
Speaker 2: five where we hand it off to the Bats, So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get in as much as we can before
Speaker 2: the other Nick takes over. That's Nick Current again. He's
Speaker 2: the voice of the lovel Bats. They're set for a
Speaker 2: Current and Company, Current Coffee Company. Everybody, I mean, we're all,
Speaker 2: I mean we're all. We're all family here, right, So
Speaker 2: just a couple Nicks, that's right, that's right. So I'll
Speaker 2: start with just, I guess the big news the day,
Speaker 2: just two days after winning the Kentucky Derby, we now
Speaker 2: know that Sovereignty will not be a triple crown winner
Speaker 2: because Sovereignty is not going to run in the Preakness.
Speaker 2: And I started the show by sort of just referencing, like,
Speaker 2: you know, it seems as if in every aspect. This
Speaker 2: is the decision of the trainer, Billmont, and the ownership
Speaker 2: trusting his decision, his judgment. And it's unfortunate because you know,
Speaker 2: it's good for horse racing if there is at least
Speaker 2: the belief that you can have a potential Triple Crown winner,
Speaker 2: because it happens so rarely. Will now as we have
Speaker 2: weeks that lead up to the Preakness, we know that
Speaker 2: there's certainly no possibility because there's gonna be no Preakness
Speaker 2: race for sovereignty. They're going to get prepared for the Belmont,
Speaker 2: which will take place, as you know, in the third
Speaker 2: leg of the Triple Crown here. So I mean, it's unfortunate,
Speaker 2: but I keep hearing about horse racing and how it's
Speaker 2: you know, it can't get out of its own way,
Speaker 2: and it's a sport that is, you know, in the
Speaker 2: eyes of some it's struggling. In fact, this is from
Speaker 2: Eric Crawford over the weekend, and I'm not picking on
Speaker 2: Eric at all. I'm just referencing, and again this is
Speaker 2: what I do. I'm well aware of sort of where
Speaker 2: I stand when it comes to my knowledge and horse
Speaker 2: racing the sport. So I'm trusting people who I know
Speaker 2: are in fact much more knowledgeable of it. But here's
Speaker 2: what Eric said on This was Sunday, day after Derby.
Speaker 2: Derby Day delivers NBC record seventy more seven million average
Speaker 2: viewership and the peak was twenty one point eight million
Speaker 2: that watched at racetime. And a sport that is struggling
Speaker 2: what is fueling Derby's increasing appeal? So he mentions the
Speaker 2: sport is struggling. And then today when the news broke
Speaker 2: about Sovereignty not being available to run in the Preakness.
Speaker 2: This is from Pat forty Kentucky, deby Winter. Sovereignty is
Speaker 2: skipping the Preakness, according to a release from the company
Speaker 2: that runs Peblical race Course and the Preakness. Last sentence
Speaker 2: here was what stood out to me. Quote horse racing
Speaker 2: is the king of self inflicted wounds? End quote. Is
Speaker 2: the self inflicted wound based off of the schedule, meaning
Speaker 2: there's not enough time between these these races? Or is
Speaker 2: it just because because I highly doubt that Pat would
Speaker 2: insinuate that, like the self inflicted wound is the decision
Speaker 2: to keep the horse safe. I mean, I doubt, highly
Speaker 2: doubt that's what he's inferring to But I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 2: if horse racing would benefit from making a slight adjustments
Speaker 2: to the schedule of these races, and there'd be more intrigued,
Speaker 2: more interest to see if we could potentially get a
Speaker 2: triple Crown winner, Like, why would you not do that?
Speaker 2: To me, it seems like kind of a no brainer.
Speaker 2: So it's a bummer, no doubt, But like it's one
Speaker 2: of those things to me. And I'm well aware that
Speaker 2: I'm out of my comfort zone here talking about horse
Speaker 2: racing decisions that are made that I you know, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't even begin to know the half of what goes
Speaker 2: into those decisions. But just an outsider's perspective here, this
Speaker 2: is a bummer. But who's at fault? If anything, it's
Speaker 2: the schedule more than anything else. And I would assume that, like,
Speaker 2: if they really felt like a change to that was needed,
Speaker 2: they would have done it. But then again, horse racing
Speaker 2: to me, has a little bit of the golf element
Speaker 2: where it's just the purest it's just how it's always
Speaker 2: been done and that's the way it's always going to be,
Speaker 2: you know, I think that's why there was such a
Speaker 2: I mean, I get there's another element to it that
Speaker 2: I totally understand, but like the Live Golf Tour, Like
Speaker 2: you remember how big of a deal that became, Like again,
Speaker 2: some of it's understandable, but like it became a bigger
Speaker 2: deal just because, like I think an element of like
Speaker 2: snob right, Like you know, there's no competition for the PGA.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about, like horse racing would what
Speaker 2: would make any change to this schedule that's been in
Speaker 2: place since you know, nineteen nineteen, which I'm sure it's
Speaker 2: been even longer than that, because wasn't that the year
Speaker 2: that was the first triple crown winner? I think is
Speaker 2: what was was what Austin looked up a little bit earlier.
Speaker 2: So that's the nineteen There you go. That's the news
Speaker 2: that that came out today. No no shot at a
Speaker 2: triple crown winner, which again is a bummer, but I'm
Speaker 2: not really sure who is to blame for that. We
Speaker 2: also talked about the college football Playoff because a decision,
Speaker 2: well I guess a scheduling decision that was made by
Speaker 2: Clemson and Notre Dame just got me thinking about there's
Speaker 2: got to be like going into the playoff last year
Speaker 2: and seeing how things played out, I think you would be.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think a takeaway from some programs would be,
Speaker 2: we don't really need to go out there and play
Speaker 2: the toughest teams in the country, because if in fact,
Speaker 2: we take care of business in the league that we're in,
Speaker 2: we're gonna give ourselves a chance to get in because
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a chance to win our conference and
Speaker 2: get that automatic spot. Or if we're playing in the
Speaker 2: conference championship game and we've done enough elsewhere, they're letting
Speaker 2: twelve teams in, so we got a shot. Let's just
Speaker 2: win as many games as we can, and you know,
Speaker 2: and really just focus on taking advantage of the opportunities
Speaker 2: against the big boys, like leave us little room for
Speaker 2: a drop, and then just try to make sure we
Speaker 2: can capitalize when you play in the big games that
Speaker 2: can help you win your league. But I think what's
Speaker 2: happening is that the ACC Clemson is the example here.
Speaker 2: They're aware that the SEC is fighting for automatic bids,
Speaker 2: four of them being for their league. And this, of
Speaker 2: course is if it's an expanded playoff. And I think
Speaker 2: it was fourteen or sixteen, I don't remember which number
Speaker 2: it was, so and I think what Clemson's doing here
Speaker 2: is that they realize, Look, we can't just beat up
Speaker 2: on the ACC and expect to get in because we
Speaker 2: don't get the benefit of the doubt. The SEC usually
Speaker 2: does more often than not, and the Big Ten certainly
Speaker 2: what over the ACC. I'm not even saying that that's
Speaker 2: wrong because those leagues are better than the ACC. But
Speaker 2: it shouldn't just be about your league being better. And again,
Speaker 2: your league's value matters to you because it's the only
Speaker 2: way to really judge how good you are. And you
Speaker 2: know it shouldn't say it's the only way, but it's
Speaker 2: the biggest way in how you're judged. But just the
Speaker 2: thought of auto bids just I don't know why it
Speaker 2: hasn't gone off like a light bulb in other people's head,
Speaker 2: or you know, maybe a red flag. Maybe that's the
Speaker 2: better way to describe it, because you have no clue
Speaker 2: how any league or any team's gonna be any given year.
Speaker 2: You just don't know. So if you're just gonna automatically
Speaker 2: say the SEC and the Big Ten get four each,
Speaker 2: what if those leagues fall apart. I don't think that
Speaker 2: they will, that's not realistic, but like just knowing that
Speaker 2: no matter what they get four, it totally defeats a
Speaker 2: huge element of competition and you know, playing games and
Speaker 2: winning and getting results that end up earning you a
Speaker 2: spot there. So Clemson deciding the schedule Notre Dame and
Speaker 2: for those who missed it, their schedule, I mean, this
Speaker 2: is maybe this is now the new norm, but this
Speaker 2: is a lengthy schedule. It's a twelve year series from
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven to two thousand and thirty eight. Notre
Speaker 2: Dame is gonna play each other. You have to keep
Speaker 2: in mind this was put on the schedule knowing that
Speaker 2: in that twelve years, with the way the ACC and
Speaker 2: Notre Dame have their partnership, you were gonna get Notre
Speaker 2: Dame regardless at least a few of those years because
Speaker 2: of just you know, pure numbers. So Clemson, I feel like,
Speaker 2: is putting themselves in a position to where if the
Speaker 2: ACC doesn't get better, or maybe it gets worse, we're
Speaker 2: gonna always have Notre Dame. They look like they're not
Speaker 2: going anywhere with Marcus Freeman and the non conference game
Speaker 2: that now currently does give them a chance to you know,
Speaker 2: add some value in the non conference portion. That's South
Speaker 2: Carolina that game will probably go away because if the
Speaker 2: SEC does go to nine, I mean, I think it's
Speaker 2: clear they're gonna tell their league members, meaning Greg SANKI,
Speaker 2: you don't need to go out and play somebody in
Speaker 2: the non conference that that matters, because we're gonna play
Speaker 2: each other, and you're gonna have nine of your twelve
Speaker 2: games in the prestigious Southeastern Conference, and that just is
Speaker 2: so much tougher than anything anybody else will do. That's
Speaker 2: why there's real belief that Kentucky and Louisville will not
Speaker 2: play if it goes to nine. I'm sure South Carolina,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Beamer seems built a little different, but
Speaker 2: you know, maybe they maybe the league, maybe maybe they
Speaker 2: follow marching orders of of the of the league commissioner.
Speaker 2: So I just you know, the college football playoff, it's
Speaker 2: now become a realistic thing for so many programs that
Speaker 2: are good. They can now realistically get there. When it's for,
Speaker 2: it's much harder, and when it's for, you're much more
Speaker 2: in need of getting some kind of a benefit of
Speaker 2: the doubt and a break to go your way that
Speaker 2: maybe you weren't expecting when there's twelve, fourteen or sixteen,
Speaker 2: Like you can know you're not realistically a national championship contender,
Speaker 2: but you can get to the playoff. And I believe
Speaker 2: that has value to programs that will be remembered forever.
Speaker 2: Like I think playoff appearances for certain programs like a
Speaker 2: Louisville or a Kentucky in Indiana who just made one
Speaker 2: like that will be viewed as it's the equivalent of
Speaker 2: a Final four in football, and that matters. That has value,
Speaker 2: and that's now made it to where there's so many
Speaker 2: more teams that at least feel like they're they're in
Speaker 2: the mix, and who knows, it's not like, let's let's
Speaker 2: be real, if Louisville ends up in the next couple
Speaker 2: of years in a situation where they're eleven and one,
Speaker 2: then they're twelve and one because they won the ACC,
Speaker 2: it might be a realistic thing that they're still a
Speaker 2: long way away from, you know, knocking off a team
Speaker 2: like a Georgia in the national championship or knocking off
Speaker 2: a Ohio State something like that. But I but you know,
Speaker 2: it'd be fun to get lost in that race to
Speaker 2: the playoff, right and just think, who knows, man, we're
Speaker 2: gonna line up and if we get them, we might
Speaker 2: we might drop them. Like now you can at least
Speaker 2: kind of live in that world with some level of
Speaker 2: realism knowing that like, hey, you know, we're not We're
Speaker 2: not McNee State, an FCS team that's just hoping to,
Speaker 2: you know, pull off the biggest upset in the world
Speaker 2: when we get that Payday game in September. So I
Speaker 2: just there's gonna be changes made. That's why they've had
Speaker 2: these College Football Playoff spring meetings. And the more I
Speaker 2: hear about what's being proposed by the SEC when it
Speaker 2: comes to auto bids and TV viewership being a part
Speaker 2: of the criteria, it just makes me sick because I mean,
Speaker 2: take away like the Louisville component of it, I'm not
Speaker 2: coming you, I'm not coming to you from that. But
Speaker 2: like if there's automatic slots just based on conference affiliation,
Speaker 2: like you're just you're you're fully confirming something that I
Speaker 2: kind of already know is happening, is that at the
Speaker 2: top of college football, Greg Sanke his league and I
Speaker 2: guess the Big Ten two they don't really care about results.
Speaker 2: They just they know that they have big brands with
Speaker 2: big reach, and they just just they want that to
Speaker 2: matter more than what you do on the field, which
Speaker 2: is just gross, if you know, if I'm being honest
Speaker 2: with you. Also, we talked about the updated rankings from ESPN,
Speaker 2: the college basketball rankings for next season. There's still some
Speaker 2: pieces out there that could certainly help a team in
Speaker 2: a big way if they were to land the available
Speaker 2: players that are there, because there's still some good guys
Speaker 2: out there, But I'd say the biggest moves have already
Speaker 2: been made, and I'd say, honestly, the biggest change as
Speaker 2: far as how a how a team is viewed right
Speaker 2: like a team if a team makes a big drop
Speaker 2: or a big jump, actually I guess the big jump.
Speaker 2: To me, it seems kind of like, again, there's good players,
Speaker 2: but I can't think of anybody that's left right now
Speaker 2: that would drastically change how a team is it's expected
Speaker 2: to do next season. I mean, PJ. Haggert, he's out there.
Speaker 2: He's a really good guard in the portal, but I
Speaker 2: feel like if he's going, if he's down to the
Speaker 2: two teams everybody says he's down to going back to
Speaker 2: Memphis or going to NC State, that'll help them, no doubt,
Speaker 2: but not to the point where they would end up,
Speaker 2: like being preseason top ten. I wouldn't think so. Anyways,
Speaker 2: I'd say the biggest moves have kind of already taken place. Therefore,
Speaker 2: there's updated rankings out there from Jeff Borzello and he
Speaker 2: has Louisville at number seven in Kentucky at number eleven. Now,
Speaker 2: real quick, this isn't something we talked about much today,
Speaker 2: but it's certainly been a talking point the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks. James Scott's decision to enter the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: I was pretty pretty direct, Like I was downright stunned initially,
Speaker 2: just because I assume he'd be the last guy that
Speaker 2: would ever look to leave, because I just assumed he'd
Speaker 2: always want to play for Pat Kelsey given how close
Speaker 2: they are. But he did decide to leave, and uh,
Speaker 2: he may have. He may have learned the hard way
Speaker 2: about the portal. Like you, you kind of run a
Speaker 2: risk of, you know, maybe learning and realizing something that
Speaker 2: you didn't didn't expect. And I only say this based
Speaker 2: off the latest report, and that is that Auburn has
Speaker 2: kind of backed off like yeah, we we you know,
Speaker 2: we're good. And I don't know if it's because he's
Speaker 2: asking for too much money. But apparently n C state
Speaker 2: who those are the teams, by the way, that have
Speaker 2: been just viewed as the most interested teams in James Scott,
Speaker 2: because you got to give mind, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: teams out there. They don't have room or money left
Speaker 2: because the majority of their roster's already in place. So,
Speaker 2: you know, James Scott hit the portal late and at
Speaker 2: times that can help you. Right, if you've if you
Speaker 2: if you've fit a specific like if you if you
Speaker 2: hit the portal and you are the guy, the type
Speaker 2: of guy that they missed out on twice elsewhere, you
Speaker 2: may be able to get a bigger price tag because
Speaker 2: they now are more desperate than ever and you've become available,
Speaker 2: they could really fill that void. James is different. James
Speaker 2: is not a guy that's going to score a lot
Speaker 2: of points. He's he's you know again, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: knock him. You guys heard me gass him up when
Speaker 2: he decided to leave, and I was the one, I
Speaker 2: think in the minority claiming that this guy is lost
Speaker 2: will actually be a bigger deal than people realize, not
Speaker 2: because you just can't replace him, but like he did
Speaker 2: some things that I think it's hard to go sell
Speaker 2: a guy on the portal to do right. You want
Speaker 2: to come here and play and not take a shot
Speaker 2: unless you're dunking it and give us, you know, twenty
Speaker 2: minutes and four fouls and you know, run, you know
Speaker 2: rim run, and you know, just be a great energy guy.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not a terrible role. But like a
Speaker 2: lot of guys in the portal are looking for a
Speaker 2: bigger role, which is why they're leaving the school they
Speaker 2: were at. So the latest is that there's waning interest
Speaker 2: from Auburn and NC State. Apparently they did have a
Speaker 2: big price tag that they you know, they could match
Speaker 2: or they could meet for James. But now apparently they're
Speaker 2: getting PJ. Haggerty from Memphis, which again we're talking about
Speaker 2: a point guard in a center. But the money I
Speaker 2: think that initially was going to be coming towards James
Speaker 2: Scott if he took the offer, is now not there
Speaker 2: to the same extent because they're having to dig deep
Speaker 2: in those pockets to give p. J. Haggerty the point guard.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't look at this as hey,
Speaker 2: you should have realized how good you had it, because
Speaker 2: that you know, I don't knock anybody for hitting the
Speaker 2: portal and seeing what the value is, But like, you know,
Speaker 2: would he want to come back to Louisville, Would Louisville
Speaker 2: want to have him back? I mean, no clue if
Speaker 2: that's even like an option. But if he didn't get
Speaker 2: the money or the role that he thought he might
Speaker 2: get from somebody in the portal, and he decided his
Speaker 2: best option was come back to come back to Louisville.
Speaker 2: Who says no? Like who says no? Because there's not
Speaker 2: anybody out there right now that you feel like you're
Speaker 2: going to replace him with. That's like a net positive.
Speaker 2: And I know some people are saying Bobby Miller, who,
Speaker 2: by the way, is available still, but I just I
Speaker 2: feel like I don't. I don't know, I've no clue
Speaker 2: about which way he's leaning, but I feel like he
Speaker 2: would look at Louisville's current put it this way, reasons
Speaker 2: James Scott probably decided to leave role and money, Like
Speaker 2: I don't know if Boba Miller would get like I
Speaker 2: think he would be hesitant to go to Louisville because
Speaker 2: he also wouldn't be walking into the role and maybe
Speaker 2: the same kind of money that he would get elsewhere,
Speaker 2: because again, Louisville's already pretty set in the front court.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. But yeah, it looks as
Speaker 2: if the two schools that were believed to be the
Speaker 2: likely leaders now are no longer really as I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say they're not as interested, because I don't know that
Speaker 2: for certain, but like he's not a priority to them,
Speaker 2: maybe the way he was initially, and maybe it's because
Speaker 2: they realize good at like good kid, good like he's
Speaker 2: a guy we'd like to have. But if he wants
Speaker 2: that kind of money, he's he's he's not justified in
Speaker 2: asking for that kind of price because that's not who
Speaker 2: he is as a player. And it's it's just my
Speaker 2: curiosity because I love James Scott and I'm bummed that
Speaker 2: he moved on push the best for him, but I
Speaker 2: would love to know what ultimately led to him like
Speaker 2: deciding all right, I'm going to hit the portal and
Speaker 2: test the waters because sometimes timing is just too there's
Speaker 2: no Sometimes timing is telling and it's not a coincidence.
Speaker 2: So therefore, like maybe he did hear that prior was
Speaker 2: coming back and he decided nope, I'm out, But like,
Speaker 2: didn't everybody think Prior was coming back because it was
Speaker 2: the day after that Pryor announced it that he that
Speaker 2: we found out that James did into the portal. So
Speaker 2: all right, real quick, and by the way, do we
Speaker 2: have are we do we need to? Like? Should we
Speaker 2: can we take this up until we hand it off you? Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay to sell your textion Starry till the twenty three okay? Perfect?
Speaker 2: All right, so real quick. I mentioned this yesterday. Cities
Speaker 2: that are kind of like Louisville in this way they
Speaker 2: embrace an event that they're known for, because I think
Speaker 2: that's what we do with the Derby. And I was
Speaker 2: kind of blanking on some of them and a few
Speaker 2: people texted in and I thought had some had some
Speaker 2: good uh, had some good responses. One of some good
Speaker 2: recommend you mentioned Daytona, right, and that's a great one. Yes,
Speaker 2: I didn't realize this, and this like this city is
Speaker 2: known for more than this, but I totally understand it.
Speaker 2: One is that like Boston is like a it's like
Speaker 2: a holiday in Boston when they have the Boston Marathon.
Speaker 2: Sure I would have never got that, I would ever
Speaker 2: thought about that, but like it makes total sense because
Speaker 2: you know it's it's it's I mean, our horse race
Speaker 2: is the prestigious one, right, their marathon is the prestigious rise.
Speaker 2: So like it makes makes total sense horses humans running. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So and then another one was we talked about Omaha
Speaker 2: with the Little League World Series and then uh, a
Speaker 2: big one that I can't believe I blanked on because
Speaker 2: at times they compare themselves to us for their event
Speaker 2: and act like it's the same thing. And that's Indianapolis
Speaker 2: for the NDY five hundred. Yeah, like it's I mean,
Speaker 2: I know it, it's got its own like like clearly
Speaker 2: there are people across the planet that love that kind
Speaker 2: of racing that will come because it's the freaking DY
Speaker 2: five hundred, But I don't mean does it do the
Speaker 2: same level of viewers. I mean, like I know, here
Speaker 2: we are just knowing how big the Derby is, assuming
Speaker 2: there's no chance that like people tune in for the
Speaker 2: NDY five hundred like they do. I mean, first of all,
Speaker 2: the N five hundred it's not a two minute race
Speaker 2: like the Derby is. But yeah, like I I completely
Speaker 2: blanked on that. And again I'm not saying it's I
Speaker 2: don't think the two are comparable as far as like
Speaker 2: interest in overall viewership. But I could be totally wrong,
Speaker 2: but no doubt Indy embraces that they have that. It's
Speaker 2: every like you go to our airport at at Muhammad
Speaker 2: Ali Airport, like there's a ton of stuff that lets
Speaker 2: you know you are in the home of the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 2: Same exact thing at Indy, Like they embrace that in
Speaker 2: a big way. But I was thinking when it comes
Speaker 2: to college events, like the NCAA rotates everything, right, and
Speaker 2: the in the conference tournaments rotate quite a bit too,
Speaker 2: so it's hard for a college Like the one that
Speaker 2: came up when I was just doing some digging was
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl. Sure, and that has history, but you know,
Speaker 2: like I don't think that event specifically is like, oh man,
Speaker 2: we got to stop what we're doing. The Rose Bowls
Speaker 2: about to take place, the Bowl parade and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: What about another one? I just kind of thought of,
Speaker 2: Marty Gross, Yeah, but that's not sports, right, Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess you're right. I mean, that's I guess it's
Speaker 2: just more or less diving outside the No. No, but
Speaker 2: that and that's the perfect one because who can claim
Speaker 2: that they have something that is so specifically connected to
Speaker 2: their city, like Marty Grass, like New Orleans, right, Like
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, I mean, and and yesterday when
Speaker 2: I got back to the text line, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what, I should have definitely definitely thought about
Speaker 2: that one because it's an obvious one. And I did
Speaker 2: a little quick chat GPT search here and the first
Speaker 2: one that comes up Austin, New Orleans and already grow.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, so you were onto something. Ndy five hundred
Speaker 2: with Indianapolis comes up here. The Derby is also on
Speaker 2: the list. So we were in the same I mean,
Speaker 2: according to Chad GPT, we were in the same Oh
Speaker 2: this is this is music film. But I do know
Speaker 2: it's a big deal Austin with the Southwest Southwest events.
Speaker 2: That's true, that's a big yes. There you go. All right,
Speaker 2: we're out of time. The voice of the Louisville Bats
Speaker 2: coming up next. That's Nick Current Bats action on It's
Speaker 2: It's now right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
