Speaker 6: I put San Diego in a different category than I

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,319
do a lot of California. San Diego very misunderstood. It

23
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:30,519
gets put into a spot with the rest of California

24
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:35,040
where San Diego is actually a military town, like it's

25
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:36,959
got some real grit to it. I mean you've got

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Mira mar You've got Pendleton, Like you've got some of

27
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,640
the biggest bases right there, Cornado where I mean where

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,840
the Navy Seals are trained.

29
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: I'm not disagreeing with you, but no, San Diego, like

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,480
with grit, doesn't off the tongue.

31
00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: I did it. I believe you would you say that

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,359
it's where.

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 6: Look you got you got the marine base, you got Cornado,

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,079
where the seals are trained, you got Pendleton.

35
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 4: It's got it.

36
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 5: So San Diego, you would put it like in a

37
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:07,159
different category than California, kind of like Shreveport in Louisiana.

38
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: A lot of people do it. A lot of people.

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,879
A lot of people do it.

40
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 6: A lot of people want those Southern Amerkansas, which I

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,199
don't really understand because if you're gonna throw shade at

42
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:20,319
it again, like twelve minutes to Texas, an hour to Arkansas,

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,919

Speaker 5: This is Top screm Football twenty twenty four. This great

186
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,080
box right here, great cards. It's called a Breaker's Delight,

187
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,399
all right. That means, now, I don't it means for

188
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,039
this company.

189
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,639
Speaker 4: It is.

190
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:01,639
Speaker 5: There's one pack in here and it's got ten cars

191
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,799
a single pack, one single pack. But you know what,

192
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,559
I'm guaranteed to hit two autographs in this thing. And

193
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,039
this is the only company that Jayden Daniels and Capabilliams

194
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:14,120
signed for. Who you don't know are the most valuable

195
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,320
people out there right now because you're pulling their rookie cards.

196
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:21,399
Speaker 6: Yeah in the car in the card world, those two

197
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:23,639
JJ McCarthy.

198
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,919
Speaker 5: And Michael all the quarterbacks. But like in Drake May,

199
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,960
but Jaden Daniels is like the and then ticket for sure.

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 6: And then there's a tier of elite neighbors Brian Thomas

201
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,159
Junior and Marvin Harrison Junior.

202
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure for sure. And so I've opened up one

203
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960
of these boxes before b Nicks. Yeah, bo Nix in

204
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,639

205
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:43,159
Jaden Daniels autograph.

206
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 6: All right, so seventy you said ten cards total in

207
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:46,840
the ten cards subtle.

208
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: So we got a couple of segments left. So what

209
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:50,759
I thought we would do is we would open it

210
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:53,799
and just pull like a couple of cards every segment

211
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,840
of First we've got Ben McDonald's coming on. Yeah, we

212
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,399
won't do it during him. Yeah, but we'll open the deck.

213
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 6: Can we open one like to go to this break,

214
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,480
and then we'll open another one coming back, and then

215
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,600
we'll open one after Bim McDonald. Then we'll open another

216
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,159
one for ask the bench absolutely at least four cards. Well,

217
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,200
then we'll do and then we'll do the rest.

218
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:12,879
Speaker 5: What I'm gonna try to do is I'm gonna try

219
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:15,159
to get if I if I see that anything's gonna

220
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:16,360
be cool, I'm gonna do.

221
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: Check this out.

222
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,639
Speaker 5: It's a little holder in this box and everything. Yeah,

223
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,159
all right, so we're gonna do this.

224
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,799
Speaker 4: Oh look at these nerds pulling cards. Yeah.

225
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,519
Speaker 6: I don't think he might says anymore. You don't have

226
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840
to keep saying that. I think everybody enjoys the card.

227
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,639
Maybe I'm just like, uh, that's just what my wife

228
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,240
saying at the house right now, shaking her head like like,

229

the top one right here? All right? Who we got there? Oh?

232
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,080
This is Brian Westbrook. You know where he played college football?

00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,919
do not know this basketball power, not a football power.

236
00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:57,879
Speaker 7: Gonzaga.

237
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: No, they don't have football program, but I like your head.

238
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 7: They don't have a football program.

239
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,759
Speaker 6: Though I have Villanova Villanova, Okay, I do remember this

240
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,360

241
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: Zaga. I don't know.

242
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 6: They're good in baseball, yeah they are, but no football.

243
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:18,360
They got like they're private Catholic school with about four thousand.

244
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 4: Students, so that's probably why.

245
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of like Streetport evangel Like we had

246
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,720
like fifty students, but we all play football and we're

247
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,159
really good.

248
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: I love how you are now calling it Streetport. Just

249
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:29,559
I can't help it anymore.

250
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:33,519
Speaker 6: I know you've called it that for so long, like,

251
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600
I don't know why I do it, because you'll do

252
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:38,080
it in Texas because you have so many schools. All right,

253
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,000
can we at least get one more? Because that wasn't

254
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,720
all right, We'll get more.

255
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: So so what I found with these tops is there's

256
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,000
a lot of like retire just like legends, filler, a

257
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:49,240
lot of filler, but even these base look at this's

258
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:52,120

00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,240
was like, Hey, I need to buy me a block

333
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,480
of ice, big one.

334
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,279
Speaker 4: Yeah. They used the big blocks ice to make ice. Yeah.

335
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240
So yeah, we we cut a little slide, made a

336
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,600
little ice luge. Yeah.

337
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 5: And Craig Stells walked around with oven mits on. He

338
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:20,360
was the holder of the ice block ice lodge, and

339
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:24,960
we were pouring rumpelments down at like super responsibly.

340
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah with uh. I think it was Hershey's chocolate Chasers.

341
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:35,080
That sounds awful, But I remember Craig.

342
00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: I mean if he if he carried around for five minutes,

343
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,960
it might as well have been two hours. He had

344
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,960
it the entire night, Oven mits on ice lange shoulder.

345
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: He's like, come on, let's go.

346
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: Oh man, some great times. We weren't supposed to go

347
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,480
out on Thursday nights. Yeah, and less had he would

348
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,240
have gas and weight room staff go out to the

349
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,519
bars to make sure we were out.

350
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:01,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

351
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 6: And the only time I ever went out on a

352
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:09,720
Thursday night because I was like I was, I was like, like,

353
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:11,519
I ain't losing my spot because I was out drinking

354
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:12,200
it at Bogies.

355
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like, hang on, all.

356
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 6: Right, But Katie really wanted to go out one Thursday night,

357
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,200
like really really wanted to. And I'm like all right,

358
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,240
and so me, Flynn Dixon, we all end up at

359
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,839
Bogie's and we have a night like, actually, I have

360
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,559
a picture from the night. Maybe I can find it.

361
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:31,640
We'll put it up on the screen. We had a

362
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,039
couple of cold pops the week of the Florida game

363
00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:38,279
two thousand and seven, the only time that I went

364
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:41,400
out on a Thursday, That's right, guess what happened and

365
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,160
had you know, had the game of my life.

366
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,319
Speaker 4: So you know, jokes on, we were just built a

367
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,079
little different, you know.

368
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:48,559
Speaker 9: Uh.

369
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: So it was the three team, so I was watching

370
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:52,400
the three team got it in.

371
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 5: So I was watching the uh, the Red Sox documentary

372
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,839
on Netflix. It's so good, right, So it's about the

373
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,559
three to four Red Sox they you know, breaking what's

374
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,559
it called Breaking the Curse is the name of the documentary.

375
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,200
That team reminded me so much of our teams at

376
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:12,920
LSU because they were just they were crazy. They had

377
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,680
this awesome relationship, but they were just like super loose,

378
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,880
different than all the other teams. They had this like

379
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,559
real special special bond that like really brings the team together.

380
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,559
But the part that really made it was when they

381
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:29,200
were down three games the Yankees, they started doing Jack Daniels.

382
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 4: Shots before the games.

383
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 5: So right before the game they started just shooting whiskey

384
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,119
and they won the game. So that was their thing

385
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,559
after that, We're gonna shoot whiskey, We're gonna party, We're

386
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:41,680
gonna be crazy. What they call They called themselves idiots,

387
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,599
is that right? They called themselves idiots, And we often

388
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,240
refer to ourselves as idiots. I mean other people refer

389
00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:52,200
to us as the same. Yeah, they did.

390
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 6: I'm gonna find this picture though now like on a

391
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,880
mission of that I'm talking about, you'll see.

392
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,519
Speaker 4: I think it was.

393
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 5: Was it the picture that was like my old school

394
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,400
like MySpace picture.

395
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: Or something like that. I think I had it on

396
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,359
social media at one point.

397
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 7: But seriously about documentaries.

398
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 6: A documentary is so I'm sending sure.

399
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,720

Speaker 4: What happened?

402
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:16,839
Speaker 9: No?

403
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,839
Speaker 7: I loved Derek Jeter so much when I was growing up.

404
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 4: He loved gift baskets.

405
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,799
Speaker 7: I would have loved to get a gift basket from

406
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:28,319
him and sign I'd sign it.

407
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,319
Speaker 4: All right.

408
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 6: I sent this picture to Taylor. We'll see if and

Everybody knows that so much.

423
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,839
Speaker 6: Oh, you know, what we should have done with Mint

424
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:25,480
because he was talking ish one time when we were

425
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:28,880
doing Hanging with Hester and he was doing like radio

426
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,960
and Shree Report, and you know, our show was syndicated

427
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,839
at the same time as as whatever. Doesn't matter, but

428
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:39,240
it's when we did Flynn and the challenge of naming

429
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,960
all the SEC coaches.

430
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,039
Speaker 4: And at the time there was fourteen.

431
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 6: Flynn named seven of them and like, we look pretty good,

432
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,839
We're idiots. We had fun with it that night. We

433
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,759
made it a whole bit whatever, and he was so mad.

434
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:56,119
MINSI online was like if I did that on my show,

435
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,200
I'd have no credibility. You know, former players get away

436
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,200
with blah blah blah and whatever. Like you know, for

437
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:07,559
a while, I'm like, cool, but we should have told

438
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,720
him and had you name all sixteen SEC coaches because

439
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:11,599
you just did that.

440
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,039
Speaker 4: Jokes on Ben Mint, Yeah, jokes on him. I could

441
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:20,000
definitely do that right now. Jeff Levy, Jeff Leby, that

442
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:22,240
one is like, I feel like that's trigger for everybody.

443
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:29,319
Speaker 6: Uh oh, look at these two hydrated idiots.

444
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,480

00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:04,119
early on in college at the Varsity five dollars tickets

454
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,319
on like a Tuesday night and it was an incredible concert.

455
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 7: I really like him.

456
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,599
Speaker 8: We tried to get him to play at the Long Branch,

457
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,759
my grandparents' bar, but he's on the stage was too

458
00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:14,400
small and I was.

459
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 7: Like, man, whatever, I'll get too big for your bridges.

460
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,640

Speaker 6: Jamie in the Chest says dumb and dumber. I'm definitely dumb.

463
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:31,279
He's definitely dumber. Yeah, some would say one of the

464
00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:32,400
greatest comedies of all time.

465
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 4: Though I always try to figure out who was who

466
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,440
in the movie Lloyd Christmas.

467
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 6: Definitely Lloyd Christmas was dumber, so I always thought that.

468
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,680
But Harry was dumb enough that he went along with

469
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,559
Lloyd's ideas, So like was he actually the dumber when

470
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,200
I was was always confused on the.

471
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:55,880

00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:18,640

Speaker 4: All right? Look, we gotta go to break.

499
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,599
Speaker 6: Uh Nacho Man says, this show turned into Beavis and.

00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:27,039
Speaker 4: Butt Head for us nine o'clock out love Beavis and

501
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:27,640
butt Head.

502
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 6: It's where I learned a lot of the music that

503
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,000
I didn't know back in the nineties, like Henry Rawlins

504
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:33,640
liar and.

505
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:35,839
Speaker 5: I think these people are trying to make fun of us,

506
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,279
but they keep like bringing out bangers, dumb and dumber

507
00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:39,240
and Beavis and butt Head.

508
00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:41,160

Speaker 6: Also C T O T B one hundred. That's pretty good,

510
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:48,279
without question that we we were thinking about renaming the

511
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:51,079
show when we first started. We missed an opportunity with

512
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:51,440
that one.

513
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: Yep. Notcho Man said he's got a squeeze ball. You

514
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:54,480

540
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:30,599

on the show. Ben always appreciate the time, sir, Hope

543
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,599
you're doing well this morning.

544
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,599
Speaker 2: Oh, always great to think with you guys. Yeah, man,

545
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,920
everything's good here in Omaha. The sun is shining. Hopefully

546
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,680
we don't have any weather. The leg is the man

547
00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:48,440
what we are down to the final four, so it's

548
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,920
it's getting pretty dag gum exciting. We've had some really

549
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,880
good ball games.

550
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 6: Oh, no question about it. Has certainly been a get

551
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,720
that keeps on giving. And yesterday right LSU, they got

552
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,480
to come back, they got to resume the game early

553
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:02,079
in the morning, and a lot of us been were

554
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,599
wondering how they were going to handle it, and they throw.

555
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 4: Case and Evans.

556
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 6: Jay Johnson was not taking any chances on not closing

557
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,000
the door on UCLA, and there was a lot of

558
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,799
people who maybe thought maybe you would go to a

559
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,119
different arm and try to piece it together, but Jay

560
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,640
Johnson said, no way, we are going to go to

561
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,000
our guy right now. What did you think of that

562
00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:21,480
decision to go with Cason.

563
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,559
Speaker 2: Evans, Well, you know that's kind of what we thought

564
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:26,200
he was going to do because I mean, if Felis,

565
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,920
you had to lead when the rains came right and

566
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:29,759
you walk in with a lead and you got to

567
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:32,039
hang on to that lead. And Cason Evans has been

568
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:33,680
your best this year. When you talk about coming out

569
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,640
of the bullpen, he's got some starts under his belt,

570
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,279
but the freshman has been unbelievable. He came in and

571
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:39,960
did his thing, you know, and so it's good to

572
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,799
see how you know, we always thought that's what Jay

573
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,440
was going to do, to come to try to win

574
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,599
that ball game and get that cat bird seat. Now

575
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,680
it's a little bit disadvantaged for l issue because obviously

576
00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:49,519
the game would have continued, LSU would have won, and

577
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:51,359
then you get two days off, but now you only

578
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,880
get to one day off. You got to come back

579
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,200
to play, you know, And so that's the only bad thing.

580
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,119
While Coastal Carolina on the other side, was kind of

581
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,279
sitting back letting everybody play into them. You know, they

582
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:01,160
got there too and out of the way early and

583
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,960
had a couple of days off and they'll be ready

584
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,279
to go to day against Louisville.

585
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 4: Ben.

586
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,799
Speaker 5: I know all the coaches for tonight's game. They're going

587
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:09,599
to keep their cards put pretty close to the chest

588
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,799
as far as pitching goes. But when you look at

589
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:13,599
this game, when you look at the matchup, this team's

590
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,839
you know, very familiar with each other. LSU and Arkansas.

591
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,279
What are the like the key matchup points? Are the

592
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,400
key differentiators that you see going into this first game?

593
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I mean you're talking about, to me,

594
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:28,720
the two best teams here on paper, you know, Arkansas

595
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:31,240
and LSU. And look, it's a different subject, but I'm

596
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720
all for reseeding. What you get to the College Rule Series.

597
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,279
In my opinion, there's no way these two teams should

598
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,079
be on the same side of the brackets and macking

599
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,400
up in game one as the College World Series. But

600
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,000
that's what happened, and that's a whole different topic. But

601
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,759
you know, look, Arkansas to me, is the most complete

602
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,400
team in the country. If you look at their numbers

603
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,640
from batting average, for runs per game to e er

604
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,559
the fielding percentage, they lead the country a fielding percentage,

605
00:28:54,759 --> 00:28:57,960
pitching its top ten, right behind LSU. It's a really

606
00:28:58,039 --> 00:28:59,960
complete team. They can do a little bit of everything.

607
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:02,880
For you. You know, there was a concern with LSU going

608
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,279
into regional play, as you guys know, they only average

609
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:07,880
what about five point eight runs per game their final

610
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,359
eleven games a year before regionals begin, and they have

611
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:12,640
really picked up the offense. And that's what you know,

612
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,599
everybody wanted to see from LSU. You knew the picking

613
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,480
was strong, you knew that the defense has been really

614
00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:18,920
strong this year, but could the office begin to match

615
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,960
everything else? And they have, And they ran through regionals

616
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
and had a little bit of a scare and super regels,

617
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,680
you know, and all that kind of stuff, but they

618
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,640
made it here to Omaha and the offense looks really,

619
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,920
really good. So look, it's gonna come down like it

620
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,240
always does when you get these two kind of powerhouse programs,

621
00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:36,200
one big hit somewhere, you know, one pitch made or

622
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,319
not Paie, maybe one defensive play made or not made,

623
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,319
you know, and so those that's what this game's gonna

624
00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:44,920
come down to. The question is who's gonna start, Who's

625
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,519
going to do their thing? And I don't know who

626
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:48,759
ELSEU is gonna start. So people thinking, you know, that

627
00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:51,240
they're gonna run Anthony Iamton back out there, I don't

628
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,519
think that's gonna happen. I think Anson is going to

629
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:55,519
be saved for the back end of the bullpen kind

630
00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:57,720
of what he did in regionals. And if LSU's got

631
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,599
to lead going into the eighth inning or the ninth inning,

632
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,519
I think you see Iyason. If LSU doesn't have a lead,

633
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:05,000
they're trying to hang on, then you save Ayanton for

634
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,519
a potential game tomorrow, you know, to get you to

635
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:09,799
the College World Series Finals. That's what you're looking at.

636
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,599
So I don't know who the star is going to be.

637
00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:14,720
You know, Nuke's got to start, Zak Cowen's got to

638
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:17,000
start in post season play. So fifty one and two,

639
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,319
those two guys, you make it a bullpen day, and

640
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:20,839
you see where you're at. About the seventh for the

641
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:22,279
eighthen you know.

642
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:25,079
Speaker 6: Been for Arkansas having to play an extra game and

643
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,960
then for Root to only last thirty eight pitches in

644
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:32,200
game number one about as best case scenario for what

645
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,000
they have available. Knowing they've played the extra game because

646
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:37,599
of what they've gotten in the performances they've gotten over

647
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:38,720
the last couple of days.

648
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: Well, no doubt in Arkansas it's worked out firstally for them.

649
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,799
I mean it started off with wood, right, I mean,

650
00:30:43,839 --> 00:30:46,720
would throws a no hitter, you only lose one pick,

651
00:30:46,799 --> 00:30:49,720
you only use one picture, and then you roll into

652
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:51,920
yesterday and you're able to bring back your number one

653
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,680
guy who picked really really well. In Root, they only

654
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,119
use the him and Az with a couple of other

655
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,039
pictures to kind of get to the game. So it

656
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,920
is a deep, deep fifty stand at Arkansas had. It's

657
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,240
a lot like Yel's use the tie velocity, big time

658
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:05,240
stuff at the back end of the bullpen, and they

659
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:08,000
got some dudes back there, man, And so yeah, it

660
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,200
worked out perfectly. I mean, adirell As Shuger were sitting

661
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,759
back hoping Arkansas would burn a few arms the wood

662
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:14,279
throws a no hitter, you know, and then all of

663
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:16,480
a sudden, Yesterday don't burn many arms either at all.

664
00:31:16,839 --> 00:31:19,079
So look, it's it's kind of all hands on deck

665
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,839
right now. I think everybody's pretty much at full capacity

666
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,000
as far as their bullpen pieces go, you know. So

667
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,000
it's gonna be a great game, man, It's gonna be

668
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
a really really good game.

669
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 4: Ben.

670
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,599
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there watching the game last night, Ucla versus Arkansas,

671
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,599
and as a former athlete, I'm all for being aggressive,

672
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,880
and so this is kind of like one of those

673
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,960
situations in football. It's like you go for it on

674
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:41,799
fourth down. If you get it, it's great. If you don't,

675
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:44,160
blah blah blah. I'm so they're watching the first inning,

676
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,920
faces loaded, two outs, they get caught with their pants

677
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,440
sound stealing home What'd you think about that move? What

678
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,039
do you think about that call? It's one of those things.

679
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:55,400
If it works out, great, If it doesn't, kind of

680
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,720
looks bad. But I'm all for being aggressive.

681
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:58,319
Speaker 4: But what do you think?

682
00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's one of those scenarios. You got

683
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,759
a left handed pitcher on the mound and you got

684
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:05,279
a left handed hitter at the plate. The left handed

685
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:07,079
hitter is not hitting very wall off left, so I

686
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:08,440
think if you look at it, you go, all right,

687
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,880
he's got two strikes on it. Maybe we could steal

688
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,680
one right here, you know, and you try and look.

689
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:16,400
I mean the replay I saw the replace it in

690
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,359
the hotel room, and it was so close. But I

691
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:20,000
think if the call would have been the other way,

692
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,039
it would have stood the other way too. But it

693
00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:23,599
was a held up because it looked like it was

694
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,920
just bang bang at home plate. So they tried to

695
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,720
steal a run right there. And you know that's the

696
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:30,880
thing about us LA here is their offense. Man, it's

697
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,599
pretty good. They struggled to score run here at the

698
00:32:33,759 --> 00:32:35,519
Alma Hall. You know, I think they were just trying

699
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,160
to the matchup. The matchup hold you that you probably

700
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,759
weren't going to get a hit with two strikes, we

701
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:40,920
might as well try to steal one.

702
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,319
Speaker 4: But it was.

703
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,799
Speaker 2: Certainly a huge momentum swinger in that case for sure.

704
00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 6: Been one of the things we've talked about throughout. You know,

705
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,359
the postseason has been Bear Jones and certainly he's been up,

706
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,960
he's been down, but coming off of five strikeout performance

707
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:57,680
and you know, staying after with Jay Johnson. We all

708
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,319
saw the videos there and for him to come up

709
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:02,440
and have the home run that he had against UCLA

710
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,400
after they scored three in the first and I mean,

711
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,240
you're in the danger zone and he certainly breathes life

712
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:10,680
back into the game. Gives LSU the lead as a

713
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,240
baseball player, because look, Flynn and I were football guys, right,

714
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:16,720
and so like baseball deals with failure every single day,

715
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,720
every single game. It's about the next step bat, it's

716
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,839
about the next pitch, and you've got to really like

717
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,200
just clear it from your memory bank there. How impressive

718
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:26,319
was that to you that bar Jones was able to

719
00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:28,680
do that after getting a five strikeout game, to come

720
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,319
back and lead his team to victory like that.

721
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, and me, I always say it's about baseball players. Man.

722
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:35,960
You can't have star tissue because every you know, you

723
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,680
get the laser right back out and go to mark.

724
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:40,039
You can't carry good or bad what happened to you

725
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:42,599
the day before, previous days. You got to flush it

726
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,680
and be able to flush it. I'm happy for Jered Jones.

727
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,359
I mean he's been through a lot in his career.

728
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,000
You know, you remember his freshman year. He was an

729
00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:51,359
everyday player. Early got the SCC player, got out matched

730
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:53,799
a little bit, pretty much rode the bench the rest

731
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:56,039
of the year, made some big time adjustments. Last year,

732
00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:58,480
hit twenty eight home runs, could have turned pro turned

733
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,160
it down, came back to l This is his draft year, guys.

734
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680
And look, that's pressure too that not many people are

735
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,920
talking about, because we see this all the time with players.

736
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,119
They know it's their draft year, they know they're gonna

737
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,000
go play pro ball. They want to have a good year.

738
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:12,840
You put a little extra pressure on yourself in your

739
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,079
draft year and sometimes they can get a little sideways

740
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:16,599
for him, and Jered got off to a great start

741
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:18,639
this year, but then he started to expand his own

742
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:20,960
a little bit. McKenna. It was more about mechanics than

743
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,639
I saw the clip like you did. And that's kind

744
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,480
of what we were seeing was, you know, he was

745
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:26,760
opening up his front side and when he opens up

746
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,679
his front side, the bat disc and it's a big

747
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,159
bottom to stop swing, meaning you got it, he's not

748
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,199
on plane with the baseball, so it's a lot of

749
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,199
swing in this there. And you can see in that clip.

750
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,360
Day was talking about where your s front shoulder is

751
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,840
staying on the ball, staying through the ball. So it

752
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,960
was good to see him have a really nice swing

753
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,320
and hit to the backside. Because let's be honest about something, guys,

754
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,920
if Elisu's gonna win their eighth national title, Jared Jones

755
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,199
is gonna have to be a big part of it.

756
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,559
He's gonna bean. He's the big bat in that lineup

757
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:52,639
that can just change the game in one swing like

758
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,519
he did the other day, and so you need his

759
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:57,480
confidence to be high. You hope mechanically he's stealing pretty

760
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,800
good about where he is right now, he's gonna have

761
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,280
to be big. It feel like she's gonna win number

762
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,119
eight cause.

763
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,679
Speaker 6: You know, with Ben McDonald here on OTB, Ben, we

764
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,840
talk about the pitching staff and like a lot of

765
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,039
us are wondering what's it going to look like tonight,

766
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:12,000
and there's a lot of different ways you could format it.

767
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:13,639
But that's not the only thing when it comes to

768
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,079
LSU baseball that we're wondering.

769
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:15,639
Speaker 4: The lineup.

770
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,599
Speaker 6: I mean, Jay has done a really nice job beforematting

771
00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:21,159
the lineup based off who's hot, based off matchups, and

772
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,599
there's been a lot of movement there, but it's come

773
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:25,760
up big. Like if Ethan Fry doesn't hit second in

774
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,039
the Regionals in that final game, I don't know the

775
00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:30,079
LSU is still playing. I mean, he came up big

776
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:32,280
when Lshue did not come up big in game number

777
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,840
six of the regional and Derek Curry have is somebody

778
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,440
that he's been a lead off all year, but they

779
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,880
moved him to the sixth hole and they're facing a lefty.

780
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,679
I've been so impressed, Ben, with not only Jay pushing

781
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:45,360
the right buttons, but the players being big in those

782
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,800
moments when they've been shifted when they've been moved around

783
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,440
in the lineup and not feeling sorry for themselves or

784
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,639
not worrying about it too much. And like for a

785
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:55,519
freshman in Curiel to be a leadoff guy gets moved

786
00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:57,159
to the sixth hole and then have the ad bats

787
00:35:57,199 --> 00:35:59,559
that he's had on that kind of stage, that's as

788
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:01,199
impressed if it is anything I've seen in Ola.

789
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:05,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, Jay kind of runs his lineup

790
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:07,440
like a big league lineup. You know, it's it's lineup.

791
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,480
You know, it's matchup base and moving Curry all down

792
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:12,239
is a good move. I mean, he tried it for

793
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,119
most of the year and in curiy all we know

794
00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:16,960
the numbers. He didn't like four forty off varieties and

795
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,400
didn't two hundred off lefties, And so it makes sense

796
00:36:19,639 --> 00:36:21,559
when you face the left handed starter if you kind

797
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:23,840
of push him down towards the bottom, you know, and

798
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,960
you move some right handers up towards the top. I mean,

799
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,239
that's just a baseball decision. That's what Jay does. And yeah,

800
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,280
I kept the captain the boys, and you know, Jay's

801
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,639
always had the fuls of this team. He always teaches,

802
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,480
you know, what's on the front of the jersey, not

803
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:37,079
on the back of the jersey. And this is a

804
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:39,239
team that is a team. This is how we're gonna

805
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,360
win number eight. And so the guys have bought into it.

806
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,000
He has been able to get with those guys and say, hey,

807
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,320
it ain't about you, it's about us. The best potential

808
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,880
of me is we if we do well, you're all

809
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,320
gonna get your stay in this thing. And they bought

810
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,559
into that, man. And so no matter what the lineup is,

811
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:55,719
no matter where people are playing, it doesn't matter. This

812
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,039
bunch is going to go out and play the game

813
00:36:57,079 --> 00:36:58,880
of baseball the way they know how. And they've bought

814
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,800
into what James been teaching them. Man. So it's it's

815
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,320
been good to see. And again this offense, Man, this

816
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,199
offense looks really good to me. It looks like the

817
00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:09,360
offense that we saw early in the year middle part

818
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,880
of the year. That's going out there, and with this

819
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,960
pitching staff that LSU has. Man, I'm telling you what

820
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,880
if they can just put some runs on the scoreboard

821
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,960
and Arkansas is gonna hit, man, and look, they can

822
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:20,320
swing it. We saw that last night yesterday, you know,

823
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,800
against UCLA. They're a really stout team. And so it's

824
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,159
like it's two heavyweight guys. It's gonna go blow by blow.

825
00:37:26,159 --> 00:37:28,400
And we saw the you know, the difference. The difference

826
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,760
in the first game was that Root hit two batters,

827
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,920
you know, walked a couple of guys whatever he did.

828
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:34,840
LSU was able to get three runs on the scoreboard

829
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,840
that inn Again, that was the difference in the ball game.

830
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,679
And so it's gonna be a fun game.

831
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,159
Speaker 4: No doubt about it.

832
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:40,519
Speaker 2: It is.

833
00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: And last one for you, Ben.

834
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 6: We always appreciate the time when you're facing a team

835
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,760
that you know so well, like LSU and Arkansas. Do

836
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,039
they've played four times this year, when you're trying to

837
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:52,360
decide who's going to start the game for you, do

838
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,519
you go back to when you played them in the

839
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:57,239
regular season and say, hey, Zach Cowen through three innings

840
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,519
scoreless baseball, didn't give up a lot, talk to a couple,

841
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:03,719
but struck out three. Or do you say this is

842
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,639
what it is right now, this is the player that

843
00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:06,920
I feel good about right now?

844
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 4: Like what is that decision like?

845
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: For j Johnson, I think it's all the above. I

846
00:38:11,639 --> 00:38:13,599
you know, I think he's going to factor in. I

847
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:15,639
do I think he's going to factor in the success

848
00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:17,679
that they've had against one another. He's going to factor

849
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,280
in who's hot and who's not for Arkansas, who he

850
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,800
feels like, where his pockets are, to bring certain guys

851
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,760
in to be able to give him the platoon advantage

852
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,519
wherever he can, and that and and I think you know,

853
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:30,440
Jay is a thinker as you guys. Though I always

854
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,880
say this about Jay Johnson, he is the most prepared coach.

855
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,800
He will beat himself up a million times over trying

856
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,719
to figure this thing out, but he prepares his guys

857
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,679
the best way to go out and have success. So

858
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,280
I think Jay is factoring a ton of different things

859
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,519
along with they get to the pitching coaches try to

860
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:48,840
figure out, you know, what's going to give them the

861
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,199
best chance to succeed. And he's broken and I'm sure

862
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:53,440
he's broke it down a million times, a million different

863
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,760
ways all the way through the game.

864
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,599
Speaker 6: All Right, there he is our guy, Ben McDonald, doing

865
00:38:57,599 --> 00:39:00,559

00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 6: Right, Ben McDonald, LSU legend, and uh you know, for

870
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:13,000
my money, the best to call games.

871
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:15,119
Speaker 4: I mean, just so easy to listen.

872
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 6: To allow the college talent to call the college games.

873
00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:22,599
Speaker 4: I wish he was calling more than only few games.

874
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 6: I mean, give me lynnon Ben up there in Omaha.

875
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:29,000
At least they know the players and they know the situation.

876

Speaker 4: You think Ben likes car portion of it? I mean,

897
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,239

898
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,719

Speaker 4: It's the same thing.

952
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,159
Speaker 8: Isn't it so funny that like Pete Wentz isn't even

953
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:23,760
the singer, but he's like the main person.

954
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 4: In the band, So weird.

955
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 6: Pretty hard to do, Pretty hard to be the main

956
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,400
person when you're not the main lead singer.

957
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 4: I got a question, I got a little observation.

958
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,199
Speaker 6: Jase was definitely a lead singer and sing without doubt,

959
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:39,119
definitely lead vocalists.

960
00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 5: What let me get us back on track here. Observation?

961
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:48,599
I asked him about stealing Home yesterday. Yeah, why the

962
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:49,320
guy that stole home?

963
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,559
Speaker 4: Why didn't slide his oven? Mit?

964
00:43:50,639 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 5: Why is he wearing an oven mat if you're gonna

965
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,800
slide with the right hand forward?

966
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe the oven that would have got him because

967
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:00,840
it was literally.

968
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 6: Like literally the slide fet first again, if Bradleydale piveto

969
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:10,679
taught us anything. That inch is important?

970
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 5: Is it only to like when you're trying to get

971
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,639
picked off at first base? Is and only for that slide?

972
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: I don't even know you would go with your.

973
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 6: Left Maybe he left hand, he throws right handed.

974
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:24,599
Speaker 4: You want to protect your throwing hand. I didn't think that.

975
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:28,679
I don't just take the oven mits off there, dumb,

976
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,400
I just use it, at least if you're going to

977
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:30,880
have it on.

978
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 8: I know soft on baseball aren't the same, and I

979
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,320
know that they're playing like at a way higher level

980
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,840
than I ever did. But whenever, like we were taught

981
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,800
to bunt, not actually bunt, but like show bunt and

982
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,960
then like pull it back in the catcher's eyes to

983
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,159
like distract them from from the thing. So I feel

984
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,440
like maybe that batter should have at least tried to

985
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:54,400
But I don't know.

986
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 7: But I don't know anything.

987
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:57,119
Speaker 4: Huh tripped and fall?

988
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,679
Speaker 7: Yeah?

989
00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:01,679
Speaker 4: Favorite ballpark snack?

990
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, hot dog popcorn?

991
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 4: If not, my kids will dip.

992
00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 6: I'm playing, let's pull one of those good cards, one

993
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,679
of those time.

994
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:17,039
Speaker 4: Here we go.

995
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 5: We're gonna go with another rookie card under here, people,

996
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:25,159
all right? Michael Paul Junior, The classic Browns rookie.

997
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 4: Okay, I have done a lot of card breaks. I

998
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,519
have never seen him.

999
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,519
Speaker 5: Michael Mark. But now we are, we're off the fractors.

1000
00:45:34,559 --> 00:45:37,000
Now we got a green one in here. See this rookie,

1001
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:37,440
all right.

1002
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,559
Speaker 6: James Harrison, God, nightmares seeing that card. He is a

1003
00:45:42,679 --> 00:45:46,000
terrifying human being. If you want to see the other cards,

1004
00:45:46,159 --> 00:45:50,079
follow us at Off the Break l A on Instagram,

1005
00:45:50,159 --> 00:45:53,400
on Twitter. James Harris, God, he was a drone man.

1006
00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:56,239
Still is he walking around the Super Bowl. I'm like,

1007
00:45:56,559 --> 00:45:59,000
I'm gonna go the other way here. There's a big

1008
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:00,880
fellow've had a lot of batles with, and I'm seeing

1009
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,280
eye to eye with and that's not good for me.

1010
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:05,119
See tomorrow off the bench.
