But going in there, you know, 73 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,159 you expect to be there for two weeks. 74 00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:56,719 Speaker 4: But you could go to and Q and be home, 75 00:02:57,439 --> 00:02:59,960 what was what was the the kind of field, the expectation, 76 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,120 and just from a player's view, not like from the outside, 77 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,719 not from coachman area, but like from a player's view, Like, 78 00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:08,639 how did y'all feel going into the tournament? 79 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, so we I was fortunate I was a freshman, right, So, 80 00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:14,240 like as a freshman usually you're just trying to find 81 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,439 your way at that point in the season. You know, 82 00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:18,680 you're kind of not a freshman anymore, but you're still 83 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,719 a freshman, right, But I was lucky that we had 84 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:25,560 a bunch of veteran guys on the Yeah. I mean 85 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,360 we had fifth year seniors, four year seniors, juniors, sophomores 86 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,479 that played us freshmen. So like we had a really 87 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,479 good mix of guys. And so you know, going in, 88 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:39,000 they had already gone to Omaha last year the year before, 89 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520 they had that twenty three game winning streak, and so 90 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,360 coming in they really made it know like, hey, listen, 91 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,560 we're not going there like have a great time and 92 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:48,719 you know, yeh get home. 93 00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: We can going to the zoo twice, right, We're there. 94 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:52,879 Speaker 4: We're there to win, We're trying to go We're trying 95 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:53,879 to have a parade at home. 96 00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:54,639 Speaker 3: And that whole deal. 97 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 6: So they kind of set the tone pretty early, and uh, 98 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,240 you know, we got there and and everybody embraced it, 99 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,400 and that's kind of how we approached it. And so 100 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,680 we knew we knew how good we were, honestly, I 101 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,759 mean we were. Basically we started the season at one, 102 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:11,800 we ended at one. There's a couple of times throughout 103 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,360 the course of the year we ended up maybe slipping 104 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:13,960 the three or four. 105 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: But we knew how good we were and we knew 106 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,519 we were gonna win it. 107 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: One of the things that I have to imagine is 108 00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:22,959 just a great feeling is when you play for LSU, 109 00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:26,680 you go to Omaha, you know, no matter what, nobody 110 00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:28,600 is going to have more fans than you have there. 111 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 5: I guess it's pretty wild. Like it's not close. 112 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,759 Speaker 4: No, it's not like it's right down the street, but 113 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,439 no matter who you play, and look, Arkansas was gonna 114 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,040 have people there this time. But no matter what, you're 115 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:42,120 going to have the most fans there in this neutral site, venue. 116 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,759 Speaker 3: One one million. 117 00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 6: Look the businesses in Omaha and the Omaha residents. 118 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,759 Speaker 3: They were, they were more excited than probably the LSU fans. 119 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,759 Speaker 4: L She made it back for sure, because you know 120 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,360 they always show up rockets made budget. As soon as 121 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,399 Chase Shore's struck out the third guy's. 122 00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,439 Speaker 6: Are they gonna get the Hunter? I mean, i'd imagine 123 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,279 there's something crazy like that. I hate jellow shots, but 124 00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:05,959 I was part of that twenty twenty three part. You 125 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,800 just kind of have to wear it. 126 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, go for it. 127 00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, but they were pumped right Obviously LSU brings a 128 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:14,680 lot of fans, and it's you know, going in there. 129 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920 I'll tell you what, my first when we got there, 130 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:20,360 you have this your first like open practice. So you're 131 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:22,439 going to and you have a practice and you're kind 132 00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,199 of out there and it's open to the crowd, right, 133 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,600 and so you have everybody in there. So you're taking 134 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,480 VP with twenty thousand people in the stands, and so 135 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,120 you're like, now you're trying to. 136 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,959 Speaker 3: Hit the ball over the school. 137 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: But I say, is that like one of those like 138 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:37,800 when you go to a cheer charity golf tournament and 139 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,439 like there's people like lined up as you drive. It's 140 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,319 a little bit like that feeling you're you're not working 141 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,240 on anything in bagging practice. You're trying to hit the 142 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,040 ball as far as you. 143 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,759 Speaker 6: Can and it was I mean, I'd never been nervous 144 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,680 hitting BP before and that was the first time. 145 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,399 Speaker 3: And then Chad Jones obviously on that team. 146 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Chad was pitching at the point at that point, 147 00:05:58,399 --> 00:05:59,560 it wasn't really playing in. 148 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:01,319 Speaker 3: The outfield, but he was still hitting VP. Yeah. 149 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,759 Speaker 4: Right, he got a standing ovation from the twenty thousand 150 00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:05,240 fans in there. 151 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: That's how far as it was. It was fun. That's 152 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,920 that's part of it. 153 00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 6: And fans are there and they're supporting it, and that 154 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,480 really makes it. That makes it a lot more special 155 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,879 for us. You to make it, Yeah, I mean everything 156 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:17,600 surrounding it.

Coastal Carolina hasn't lost a 363 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:04,519 baseball game in almost two months, so they have like 364 00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:08,159 the ultimate confidence. And we were talking about once you 365 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480 win one like they did in sixteen. These players obviously 366 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:15,159 weren't there, but there's something that they can take from that. Yeah, 367 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,559 because they're a mid major. Some belt's really good baseball conference, 368 00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:21,039 but they're a mid major. But they can say, hey, 369 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120 we've done this before, even though they weren't even closely 370 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,360 related to who did it. 371 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: Correct. 372 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,159 Speaker 6: And look the staff, I mean Schnall, their head coach 373 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,600 was there in sixteen. He was the associated head coach. 374 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,879 He's a Coastal Carolina lifer, right, you know. He was 375 00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:37,120 an All American there as a Conference Player of the 376 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,799 Year ninety nine. He was an assistant coach for a 377 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,840 while once at UCF for a few years and then 378 00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:44,000 came back associated head coach. 379 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,519 Speaker 3: I mean, history is awesome. 380 00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:47,879 Speaker 6: About his son and all that kind of stuff, and 381 00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:51,039 then whenever they're legendary coach retired. He took over this 382 00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:54,000 his first year and he's back in Omaha, right, so he. 383 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,039 Speaker 3: Understands what their standard is. 384 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 6: He understands and look, I personally think they're gonna be 385 00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:01,080 in the championship game. 386 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're they're pitching staff. 387 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 6: If you haven't looked at it, if if people listening 388 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,120 haven't looked at it, I think they have eleven guys 389 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:09,639 with a four y r A or lower. 390 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 3: And I want to say they got eight guys with 391 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:12,759 a three or lower. 392 00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:16,279 Speaker 6: Yeah, right, they are, and that in that ballpark is 393 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,600 not easy to pitch. 394 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:17,679 Speaker 1: It. 395 00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,799 Speaker 6: It's a it's a hitter's park out there in Myrtle Beach. 396 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,840 And so I really like their pitching staff. 397 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 3: You know, they have enough guys. 398 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,799 Speaker 6: They're gonna be scrappy offensively, but pitching, I mean, pitching 399 00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:30,720 in defense is really what's gonna win you those games, 400 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:34,639 especially in in Omaha with how big the stadium is 401 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:36,039 and the ball is not gonna car it's not really 402 00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:36,879 an offensive stadium. 403 00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 4: So wind blowing in always because they wanted to view 404 00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:41,039 exactly exactly exactly right. 405 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,279 Speaker 3: It it's they flipped it. 406 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 4: So it's always it's just it's it's beneficial. 407 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,799 Speaker 3: To the pitchers, and so I really do like them. 408 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,879 Speaker 5: I can't wait for it. 409 00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: Like if it is Coastal in Oregon State, that's gonna 410 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,480 be a heavyweight title belt, Like, I can't wait for 411 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:57,360 that one. But going back to Coastal, they just went 412 00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,159 to a place and swept Auburn where LSU got swept up, 413 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,480 Alburnon doesn't lose it. Auburn was as hot as anybody 414 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,119 in the country, yep, and Coastal punched them right in 415 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,079 the mouth, no doubt. Like there was nothing Sam Dunton 416 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,920 could have done in that first game. He was trying 417 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,400 every pitch imaginable. He was taking as much time as 418 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,920 he possibly could between pitches to try to figure it out. 419 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,319 Speaker 3: And they were just teeing off on him and that, 420 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,039 and that's different than what they did really all year. Yeah, 421 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:21,680 because they. 422 00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:23,039 Speaker 6: Won on the pitch with the with the with the 423 00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,359 guys in the mountain. Now they won with guys in 424 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,160 the play. So yeah, they they're hot, they're not losing games. 425 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,640 They're in Omaha coaches not shy. He's been there before. 426 00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,880 So I really like them Arizona. Obviously they've been good. 427 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,759 Speaker 4: I mean they got beat by sixteen in Chapel Hill 428 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:38,200 and came back. 429 00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: I thought they were Oh my god, if. 430 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,599 Speaker 4: I lose by two touchdowns in baseball, I don't think 431 00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:44,920 I'm winning the next two games, No. 432 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 3: Doubt they are. I thought they were smoked. 433 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:49,079 Speaker 6: They came back and they won that which in Chapel 434 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,200 Hill obviously against a really good team. I mean that's 435 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,160 a team that had the third best odds to win 436 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,440 it all right, right, you know, and so I like them, 437 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,640 but I just they're gonna face Coastal. 438 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: I like Coast than that. 439 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,319 Speaker 6: Oregon State is kind of a weird one for me. 440 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,279 You know, they're an independent team in baseball. 441 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,519 Speaker 5: Like played mostly on the road all season long, which 442 00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:09,079 is why. 443 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 3: They got a national seat in my opinion, because they 444 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,200 got the r P. 445 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:14,599 Speaker 4: I RPI is fourth, I think, yeah right now in 446 00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:17,000 the country, and I think you get benefits from being 447 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,119 on the road and so there. I don't know much 448 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,759 about them as far as like I know, there's their 449 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:26,759 middle and fielders. Short stop I believe is yeah, he's 450 00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,599 up there being like a top five pick in the 451 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,599 conversation to maybe be the overall all next year, right, Yeah, yeah, 452 00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,000 though I think it's going to be. Yeah, it's tough 453 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,400 position player like that to go. 454 00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: It's hard. It's number one overall. Yeah. Look, speaking of 455 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,720 Anderson has been I know Max, I have him at 456 00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:47,720 one overall right now, and that's how about that? Though? Yeah, 457 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,480 I mean I love them. 458 00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 5: Draft eligible sophomore so unfortunate. 459 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:54,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, a little younger, he told me. He told me 460 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,079 early in the year. 461 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 4: He's like, man, I love he loves l G from 462 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,720 Saint Paul's from Covington. 463 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: He's like, man, I want to come back. 464 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,079 Speaker 4: I said, brother, I know, I want you to come 465 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,920 back too, But if you get drafted in the top 466 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,440 fifteen picksah much less top ten, you cannot come back. 467 00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:10,880 That's so funny you say that because it's such a 468 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,480 hard conversation, because look, you and I both love LSU, 469 00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:15,920 right right, and we want the best thing for LSU. 470 00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,720 But we're also former players, correct. I remember having that conversation. 471 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,440 I got a phone call one day in twenty eighteen 472 00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:27,119 and it was Devin White, and Devin's like, man, like, 473 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,440 I really want to come back.

They were great, maybe the best ever. Right, 477 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,759 he was right about that. I was like, Devin, like 478 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:40,960 I get that, man, But like you do, have to 479 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,240 take a look at you're projected to be a top 480 00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:47,200 five pick at linebacker, right, it just doesn't ever happen, right, Right, 481 00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:48,759 as much as you want to come as much as 482 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:51,839 I want you to come back, it's very tough to 483 00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:54,799 say no to top five pick at your position and right 484 00:19:54,839 --> 00:19:58,039 now the year you just had, Yeah, you got to 485 00:19:58,039 --> 00:19:58,640 be smart about it. 486 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 6: I mean, and look, football is different is like I 487 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,559 mean one hit, yeah, you know, and baseball obviously on 488 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:04,759 the mound you can blow out whatever. 489 00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's when you get opportunity to have that money, can't. 490 00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 6: I love that you love LSU and I love that's 491 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,799 when I come back, all right, But you got you 492 00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:15,599 gotta go. And look, he's a guy that you're gonna 493 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:17,000 look up in two years and he'll probably be in 494 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,559 the big leagues. 495 00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's ready now. 496 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,559 Speaker 4: I think he's a starter too, oh, no doubt, because 497 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:22,920 like Liam Doua, I think from Tennessee. 498 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 3: I think he's a reliever I believe he's a closer. 499 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's gonna come in. 500 00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:28,839 Speaker 4: He's gonna be back into the bullpen guy. But I 501 00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:31,319 think Kate's like, I think that the value there is 502 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,359 he's gonna be able to start games for you, yep. 503 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 6: And I made this comparison to me and Jay Mitch 504 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,480 are talking about it on Miked Up, and now I 505 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:39,799 was like, look, not only does he have four pitches 506 00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:41,759 that he can throw for strikes, and he's a strike thrower, right, 507 00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,759 He's not a guy that needs to throw the ball 508 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:46,880 out of the zone to get chases for strikeouts. He 509 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,640 gets swings and misses in the zone yep, which is 510 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,799 pretty special. Like you don't have a lot of ton 511 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:55,480 of guys that can blow you away with fastballs and 512 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,519 then throw breaking balls over the plate and get swings 513 00:20:57,519 --> 00:20:57,960 and misses. 514 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 3: And so he's got that. 515 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 6: And I think he he's got more vlo in the 516 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,480 tank as he as he matures and gets bigger. 517 00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you're gonna a little bit of 518 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,039 take up this year. 519 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. 520 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 6: I think he's touched seven maybe once or twice. But 521 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,920 I think that you're gonna look up in a couple 522 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,480 of years and he's gonna be sitting in ninety five, ninety. 523 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,319 Speaker 3: Six, yeah, and touching ninety eight.

But if something does happen, nobody else 532 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:36,240 can feel as confident. 533 00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:38,519 Speaker 5: As you do on the mound in the loser's bracket, correct. 534 00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 6: I mean, look, Ianstin's draft stock has done this. Yeah, 535 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,000 I mean it's sword. 536 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 4: I can't So I've been to UC San Diego where 537 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,519 he played.

He's been snubbed all year, all year, 556 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,319 as far as all the he should have been a 557 00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:36,279 first team All American. 558 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,839 Speaker 3: He should have been. Yeah, Like he has better numbers. 559 00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:43,720 He has better numbers than outside of strikeouts, better numbers 560 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,039 than Kate. 561 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's right on the heels of Kate. 562 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 4: Shakeout total right, top three in the name, three in 563 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,279 the nation in strikeouts. The e r A he had 564 00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:53,440 in league play, Yeah, three better than it was overall. 565 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,240 And he's not a first team. 566 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't I don't understand that. But like you 567 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,599 got him going game two in Omaha. That's that's huge. 568 00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:02,160 I know we kind of got off of that. I 569 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,880 know we're talking about Omaha and all the on the brackets, but. 570 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,519 Speaker 4: Hey, look we see a lot of squirrels here on 571 00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:08,599 this show. As soon as we see one run by, 572 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,119 we talk about the squirrel that ran. We're all athletes, 573 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,200 we're all add athletes, you know it just dump around 574 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,079 out when you got him man and as the number 575 00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:18,039 two guy, and you have him being able to go 576 00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:20,400 out there and say, you know, hey, no matter what 577 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,240 happens on game one, I got another ace in game two. 578 00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: That's a huge thing. 579 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:26,839 Speaker 6: You know, the best one two punch in the country. 580 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,480 And then you know what, if Chase Shorts can keep 581 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:30,920 doing what he did. I mean, that was the best 582 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,720 I've seen him look since maybe ever. And uh, I 583 00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:36,640 actually would agree with that. Yeah, I mean he looked 584 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,920 good as freshman year early on, but like that was 585 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,079 a different level. 586 00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:42,079 Speaker 4: And I do want to get to Chase Shorts because 587 00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,880 I think he's going to be highly important, Like like 588 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,960 that might be the guy that ends up being the 589 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:49,319 guy if you go ahead and win a national championship 590 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,960 or play for one. But look, and I know off 591 00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:54,119 Day's rest and I know like how they for man 592 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,720 super regionals, But like Anthony Iinton actually had the better 593 00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:02,000 outing against Arkansas. Kate had a great outing, shrunk out ten, 594 00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:05,039 but he gave up three runs, Anthony Ironson goes six, 595 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,920 gives up five hits, goose egg on the scoreboard, only 596 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:08,400 walks one. 597 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,279 Speaker 5: It strikes out eleven yep. 598 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,039 Speaker 4: And like Jay has started Anthony Ironson into game one 599 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,799 in the postseason before, So I don't think anything's going 600 00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:19,160 to go into that. I think it's going to be 601 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,119 Kate Anderson almost certain it is. 602 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,519 Speaker 5: But the fact that you even have options for incredible. 603 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 6: The fact that there's a conversation There's definitely been a conversation. 604 00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:29,599 Speaker 3: Behind the scenes with Jay and the staff like, Hey, 605 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,400 what do you want to do? 606 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 6: And I ultimately do think it's going to be cade 607 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,519 first route, which is gonna be awesome. You can't go 608 00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:39,599 wrong if you decide to go Now, the funny thing 609 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,279 is is, you know LSU fans and I love they're 610 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:42,759 the best. 611 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,279 Speaker 3: You know, they get a little. 612 00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:48,039 Speaker 6: Emotional and you know sometimes sometimes and so there's been 613 00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:50,319 a lot of conversation, Oh, you win game one, do 614 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,200 you save ainstin. 615 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 3: I'm like, she's zero negative percent. 616 00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 6: Actually, Like if there's if there's one thing that you 617 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,160 don't do is that you win the first two games 618 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,759 and then you set yourself up for having potentially most 619 00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:03,640 often set them up for the next weekend if you 620 00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:06,200 continue to win. But yeah, they're in a good spot 621 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,720 with those two guys, and then offensively they finally start 622 00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:09,359 to click again. 623 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 4: I guess the thing like if if we're talking about 624 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,039 your winning and you get to game three, the thing 625 00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:18,319 that is unique about LSU is the guy who might 626 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,720 start game three if he doesn't have to pitch, might 627 00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:23,400 have to pitch in game one or game two, right, 628 00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:25,960 because it might be Case and Evans Zach Cowen started 629 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,880 obviously in postseason play. I think we assume it would 630 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,759 be Evans, but it could be either one of those guys. 631 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,519 But LSU and Jay they're going after victories. They're not 632 00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,400 saving anybody. So it's like, we'll figure out game three 633 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,359 whenever we get there. Most people have kind of who 634 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,319 their Game three guy would be. But LSU might throw 635 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,000 those guys in game one or two if they need 636 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:46,240 to go throw and close out a game. 637 00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:48,799 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, and I I'm on board with that, Like 638 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:50,359 that's what they need to do. You win the first 639 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,319 you win game that you're playing now, yeah, and you 640 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,559 figure out the next game in the next game, and 641 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,720 you know, if they have to use Case and Evans 642 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,079 in those first two games to win it. 643 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,599 Speaker 3: So be it. 644 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 6: You have other guys that you can piggyback and figure out, 645 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,039 you know, if you don't use that count. I still 646 00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:06,839 have a lot of faith in him. I think he's 647 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,720 he's still good. I think he's you know, he's going 648 00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:11,279 through a couple of bumps here and there. But you know, 649 00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:14,079 if you go and you throw strikes, in my opinion, 650 00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:17,079 in this stadium, I think that's the most important thing. 651 00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:19,480 If you don't get guys on base, walk them, hit them, 652 00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:22,400 do thet and make them earn it, I think that 653 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,440 you're gonna you're gonna come out on top more times 654 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,640 than not because of the stadium and the way it 655 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,880 plays and those types of things. 656 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,519 Speaker 3: And so I like that. I like root going in 657 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:30,319 a few innings. 658 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 6: You know, I think you have enough guys to get 659 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,119 through that that game three. 660 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 4: All right, when we come back, I do want to 661 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,279 talk about lineup, uh huh, all right, because you're facing 662 00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:41,799 the lefty. Last time you face the lefty, it looked 663 00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:42,759 a little bit different. 664 00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 3: A lot of talk about it, did. 665 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 4: I mean, certainly, I think all of us were surprised 666 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,839 with who was leading off. But we'll talk about it 667 00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,640 when we come back here.

All right, 727 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,400 So we were talking about line up because last time 728 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,279 you face a left the Super regional play, the lineup 729 00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:52,920 looked a little bit different. Now when you face Zach 730 00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:55,880 Root in the regular season, it's kind of what you expect. 731 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,319 Uriel's there at the top, and it was Barry Jones 732 00:29:58,759 --> 00:30:02,480 Dickinson was third. I think Ethan Fry I believe, hit 733 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,640 clean up that game, and then Josh Pearson actually hit 734 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,920 fifth that game. And then Josh Pearson leads off against 735 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,079 the left e in the Super Regional. Do you think 736 00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:13,440 they roll out the same lineup this time against the 737 00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:15,839 left e because it certainly worked there in the Super 738 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,480 Regional he scored sixteen runs. 739 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,319 Speaker 6: Looking at work and you know, I want to say, well, 740 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,319 you know, carry All hit the throw run Homer off 741 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:23,960 the left e, when he's like, yeah, well Pearson also 742 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,599 had the grand slam off the left he So like, 743 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,039 you know, I do believe that they're both gonna like 744 00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,240 Pearson's going to be in the lineup right one, you know, 745 00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:32,759 and Jake Brown is going to be is a star. 746 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,039 Speaker 3: He's going to be a star here. 747 00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:36,799 Speaker 6: And I am the biggest Jake Brown fan out there, 748 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,400 and I think Jake understands what. 749 00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 3: The role is right now. 750 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 4: It's like, so in soccer we call that like a 751 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,119 super sub, a guy that is like a baller. But 752 00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:49,279 like for this matchup, this this game, like bringing that 753 00:30:49,319 --> 00:30:52,160 guy on, you know, in the sixty fifth minute because 754 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,200 he is going to just reak havoc for the final however, 755 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,759 long in the game, having that guy on your bench, 756 00:30:57,799 --> 00:30:59,720 sitting there as soon as they go right handed pitcher, 757 00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:01,240 you're all right, he's in. 758 00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 3: Right and so he's that's why he's got starter at bats. 759 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,359 Speaker 6: He has you know, he hasn't started every game, but 760 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,519 he's been basically he's in every game, and so I 761 00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:13,599 do think Pearson's gonna start. I would not be shocked 762 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,319 if they did the if they had him leading off, 763 00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:21,839 your guy Ben in omahall won a national championship, Like 764 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,079 what better guy to have as your leadoff guy in 765 00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:26,440 the first game and then have carry O kind of like, 766 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200 you know, do his thing out. I'll carry lead off 767 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,640 the other games on there's right, So I do think 768 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,400 it'll be that way. 769 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 3: I love Fry. 770 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,839 Speaker 6: And Jared Jones back to back, you know, because it 771 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:37,720 was like for each other. 772 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,079 Speaker 3: Yeah right, you know, beginning of the year, you didn't 773 00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:40,440 know who was. 774 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,599 Speaker 6: Gonna protect Jared.

Fry has obviously emerged as that guy. 776 00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:48,359 So you have, you know, those two guys protecting each other, 777 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,480 and then you got you know, playoff. 778 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,759 Speaker 3: Milam Is is the best model. 779 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 6: You know, like he's hot and so like he's gonna 780 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,759 be right there in the middle. You get to switch 781 00:31:56,839 --> 00:31:59,160 at her component. The one thing Jay and he's been 782 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,920 obviously he's been very vocal about this is he loves 783 00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:06,519 lineup flexibility and versatility, and he likes the left right matchups. 784 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,079 He likes having you know, not having a guy come 785 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:11,039 in and be able to face three straight lefties in 786 00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:13,279 a row. And so you know he's gonna do whatever 787 00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:15,000 he thinks makes the lineup as deep as it can 788 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:16,200 be in as versatile as it can be. 789 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's not afraid to make a change. 790 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 4: No, I mean he is not afraid to whatever, you know, 791 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:24,200 whatever the analytics say and whatever him and the coaching 792 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,720 staff see on film, like he is going, Like when 793 00:32:26,759 --> 00:32:30,160 they ran that out there in super regionals, it's like, man, yeah, 794 00:32:31,079 --> 00:32:32,119 Curio has been the guy. 795 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:33,759 Speaker 5: He's a freshman All American. 796 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,079 Speaker 4: But he had you know, Piers an instagram something like 797 00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:39,720 you said, and Kia hits a three to one homer there, 798 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,359 so like it obviously worked. But like even like the 799 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,839 small changes that he made in regional play in game 800 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,079 number seven against the Little Rock, if Ethan Fry is 801 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,519 not there in the two hole els she's not playing 802 00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:53,480 right now, correct. I mean every big moment he came 803 00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:55,480 through in that game, and it was because he got 804 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,480 moved up in the lineup and the game before, every 805 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,000 big moment that happened, nobody came to nobody. 806 00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, so was I.

They had opportunities the game before, 811 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,039 and nobody came through. 812 00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 6: They put him too whole. He comes through obviously double. 813 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720 I think you get the homer two doubles, like its 814 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,640 four six. Yeah, and so you know he won that game. 815 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,720 And you know Jay's not shy.

I think it's like ninety miles an hour. 1066 00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 4: Wow, the average fastball velocity and the SEC is ninety 1067 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:19,800 four point three miles an hour. 1068 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,559 Speaker 3: How crazy is a big mile? 1069 00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 4: That's why it feels like every I mean everybody that 1070 00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:28,400 comes out of the SEC, like at the bullpen now 1071 00:43:28,679 --> 00:43:29,840 is ninety six plus. 1072 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, stupid. 1073 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,159 Speaker 4: Like if you face anybody throwing ninety two of an 1074 00:43:33,199 --> 00:43:35,480 SEC bullpen, it's because you're playing Missouri. 1075 00:43:35,199 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. 1076 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,559 Speaker 6: Or the guys got like some nasty crazy second pitch sliders. 1077 00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:42,119 Speaker 3: The deal where it is, but yeah, it's nuts. I 1078 00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:44,159 mean we've got a couple of minutes left. 1079 00:43:44,159 --> 00:43:47,079 Speaker 4: Like when you were in the SEC, I mean it was, 1080 00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:49,119 it was the best of the best, But how much 1081 00:43:49,159 --> 00:43:49,880 has that changed? 1082 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,039 Speaker 6: So I used to can people always say, oh, what 1083 00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:53,719 would you can compare it to when you were there? 1084 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,000 I was like, I compare the SEC competition when I 1085 00:43:56,079 --> 00:43:59,400 was there at HYA because you have one or two 1086 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,079 really good stars and you have one or two three 1087 00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:02,960 guys out of the bullpen. 1088 00:44:03,039 --> 00:44:04,519 Speaker 3: The lineup was usually really good. 1089 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,159 Speaker 6: And so now I compare it to double A because 1090 00:44:08,199 --> 00:44:10,320 of how much more velocity they have coming out of 1091 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,559 the bullpen. That was the big difference is you didn't 1092 00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:13,880 have the bullpen arms they have them now. 1093 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's about double A competition, Yeah, which is like 1094 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,159 a lot of times the best baseball in the minors 1095 00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:24,400 right right, right, most talent I don't think LULL. 1096 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 3: They might almost take Arkansas, so be it. 1097 00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 4: If you want to take Arkansas, you can woo pig 1098 00:44:29,559 --> 00:44:34,360 here it.

All that's gonna 1103 00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:48,239 be happening. El's gonna have more fans.
