17
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:04,280
O four five, ESPN Baton Rouge here on this Tuesday.

18
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:05,599
Speaker 2: Morning, and my goodness, thank.

19
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: God they go a lot better to come in here today.

20
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: Flynn, Jake, we're all here.

21
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: How was dreadnet about half of two one?

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,239
Speaker 7: I'm like, man, there's nothing worsewhere.

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: It looked bad.

24
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:30,159
Speaker 3: We just saw Ole Miss lose to Murray State, and

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,959
I'm like, oh, I want to make fun of them

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,200
so bad, but I can't until we win, and then

27
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:36,799
it's too late to make fun of them. But I'm

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,959
glad that LSU was victorious, because it would have been

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,200
a pretty tough show to come in here after losing

30
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,079
to Little Rock, who fought like hell, credit to them,

31
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:50,840
tip of the cap, respect. That was a team that

32
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:54,840
did like everything they possibly could to get a victory

33
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:56,239
and go to a super regional.

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,799
Speaker 2: But LSU finds a way and wins ten to six.

35
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:00,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 8: Look, I was watching this game and you know, admittedly,

37
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,280
you guys know hadn't followed much of the baseball until

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,680
this beautiful job. But I've been locked in and I

39
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,319
was sitting there watching the game, you know, yelling at

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,319
the kids to come watch it with me, all this stuff,

41
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:21,199
and they're losing, and I'm like, oh my gosh, Day two,

42
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,879
Like I've already I'm already talked out for the week.

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: I've done, I've done one three hour show.

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 8: We're going into Tuesday like, oh lordy, Like, I don't

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,439
think I'm ready for like a depressed LSU just got

46
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:37,960
eliminated by Little Rock show it would have been and look,

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
that's that is one of the more difficult this job

48
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,960
is when something like that happens and you're like, oh

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,039
my god, that's.

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: Going to bring the vibe now, it's gonna be just.

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,479
Speaker 5: A more season. Yeah, yeah, and then.

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: You're gone fishing.

53
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 8: And I know we'll get into like a lot of

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,719
the details of the game and talk about it.

55
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,159
Speaker 4: But man, what a what a turnaround?

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 8: And what did I told Taylor when I walked in

57
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,159
this morning, What did difference just one dude can make

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,560
on a team's morale energy levels?

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: Like bringing the Jews? The team looked dead, they looked asleep.

60
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 8: They were making some decent plays here and there, they

61
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,439
had the home run.

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: Early, but like there was just no juice. I didn't

63
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,840
see any Jews playing.

64
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 8: And then this little dude, this freshman, runs out on

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:30,360
the mound and super hyperactive pitching motion, wind up and

66
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:34,520
just talking and celebrating, and all of a sudden, you

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,680
just like I could feel it in my house watching

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,479
the game. I was like, oh my gosh, what a

69
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:41,000
breath of fresh air this dude is. And then everyone

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,960
just feeds off it. It happens all the time. You

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,439
see it sometimes when like a backup QB comes in

72
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:48,560
a little bit.

73
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 4: I guess, well, you just see it in sports all

74
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,360
the time.

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 8: The difference one dude with a lot of energy, confidence

76
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,960
talking that Ish can do to bring up. Everybody just

77
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,280
looked like stale. Man, they looked stale. They looked dead,

78
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:04,039
They looked tired of sleep, you know what I mean.

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,639
And Little Rock didn't know. They didn't They looked like

80
00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:09,919
the scrappy little team that was there with nothing to lose,

81
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,599
just looked like they were like holding on.

82
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: They wanted up. They wanted Little Rock to to lose

83
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:15,319
the game.

84
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: Basically.

85
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then once they figured out, oh, they're not

86
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,160
going they're not going to do that, we gotta do something.

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 5: That's interfering to relax. He needed to like just take.

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: You were fast, you were athletic, you're getting to those balls,

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,720
you're getting great jumps, and you didn't need to jump.

90
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're not getting on top ten.

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,399
Speaker 3: Exactly what you told last night. I was like, man,

92
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:42,079
he doesn't need to jump, Like that's are great players.

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,920
I was like, yeah, they are, but he's trying to

94
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,800
get on Sports Center time.

95
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,319
Speaker 6: You can't get you can't get on it if you jump.

96
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: I get it.

97
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 8: I remember doing that as a kid, like you're playing

98
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,560
catch or you're you're in practice or something, and like,

99
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,040
you know, you can get to this pop up, but

100
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,040
I'm gonna wait a couple of seconds before I start

101
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:57,120
my run a little.

102
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,439
Speaker 4: Bit because I wanted to.

103
00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 8: I want to get a little dive, man, I want

104
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,720
to get a little backhand side action.

105
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, good for you.

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,319
Speaker 7: It was I feel like you could kind of see

107
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,519
it start to turn for the Tigers a little bit.

108
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,040
And I kind of saw it too, where it was like, Okay,

109
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,839
you're facing you know, a midweek team, you know what

110
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,720
I mean, Like for sure, there's a point where he

111
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,040
had like two straight walks. I think he walked Koreel

112
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,879
with like four straight balls, and you're like, Okay, this

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,680
is a picture that you've seen before. You know, like

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,480
you've seen this guy in the midweek. You've seen this team,

115
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,319
and they were literally the only team in the tournament

116
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:36,480
that had a losing record. So I just feel like

117
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,600
Sunday was just such that wasn't the team that LSU

118
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,959
is and the beginning of the game yesterday wasn't either,

119
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,279
and they just had they needed Case and Evans to

120
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,759
come in, fire them up and get it together. It

121
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,480
was Yeah, that game had me about to go into

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,519
cardiac orus.

123
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: Yes it did. And let's go ahead and kind of

124
00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:57,680

Speaker 4: Dude, Go flow check him out.

147
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,879
Speaker 3: YEA very excited to have him on a team. OTB

148
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:09,800
again goflowiv dot Com. I'll say this, like, as we

149
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:13,720
get really diving into the game, the thing for me

150
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:14,199
is what.

151
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: We talked about yesterday. And look, I.

152
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: Gave Scowe and his credit because he did nail that

153
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:20,759
Zach Cowen was going to start that game.

154
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: That was not the decision that we thought in this room.

155
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: We thought it was going to be Caseon Evans and

156
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,439
then Zach Cowen would come into the game because of

157
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,800
all the reasons we talked about. I mean, Zach Cowen

158
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,920
is somebody that has not started a baseball game this year.

159
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,519
Speaker 2: He now last year, Yeah, he was great.

160
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,199
Speaker 3: He had big moments and the stage being big is

161
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:44,639
not new to him, like he's done that many times

162
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
in his career. But we talked about it like when

163
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,040
you haven't done something in a long time, a full

164
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360
year of baseball and you haven't gone out there and

165
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,319
been the guy to throw the first pitch man. Baseball

166
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,240
is so mental and there's so many little things that

167
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,319
can go wrong, and you knew immediately that Zach Cowen

168
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,759
didn't have his best stuff, and if we're being honest

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,519
with ourselves, he hasn't had his best stuff in a

170
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,199
long time, and so like that's why here in this

171
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,319
room we're like, Okay, well it's gonna be Case and

172
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:15,000
Evans and then you're going to try to get to

173
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,600
Zach Cowen. And luckily for LSU, they didn't get too

174
00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:22,519
far behind before Evans could come in and do what

175
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:22,920
he did.

176
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.

177
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 8: I think about the decision again, I'm kind of, you know,

178
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,840
a little bit late to the party on learning all

179
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:36,720
these names and the pedigrees and their history and what

180
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,159
they've done. But I kind of understand the decision from

181
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720
just a mental aspect. You're playing your fourth game, your

182
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:48,840
fourth game of four days. You really this first time

183
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:50,960
all season you've done that, so like you have to learn.

184
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,279
You're you're learning about your bullpen. You're learning about your

185
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:59,960
pitchers as you go in this game for elimination game

186
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,960
against a team you're supposed to be all the pressure

187
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,240
on the world's on you. There's no pressure on the

188
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:09,279
guys in the other jersey. So I kind of understand,

189
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,840
from like a middle standpoint, you going with the pitcher

190
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:15,840
that has a little bit more experience, Like you would

191
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,519
think that he could step on the mound and and

192
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:19,399
have the better chance.

193
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 6: I guess.

194
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: I mean, I've been not being too bit. You could

195
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,320
make that argument.

196
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: You could make that argument for sure.

197
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,279
Speaker 3: It was just him not starting a game and over

198
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,279
a year and your first start, and sometimes that happens

199
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,440
in regionals and super regionals. It's like, man, this guy's

200
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,600
pitch fifteen innings all year, had started a game. But

201
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,399
this was somebody that's been in a lot of big moments.

202
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:43,240
But they were all like in the seventh and eighth

203
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,200
and ninth inning, and so it was a decision.

204
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: And again you could split hairs.

205
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: I would have, you know, you know, assumed Kayatean Evans

206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,840
would have gotten the start. Zach Cowan gets the ball,

207
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,279
and again you blinked and it was five to one,

208
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:00,679
and luckily you had.

209
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 8: Look he come Maybe Jays like playing chess and we're

210
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,360
all playing checkers in our analysis of this. Maybe he

211
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,159
knows that Cason was going to come off the bench

212
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,559
and and be able to come off the bench better

213
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:14,840
than anybody else.

214
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: Could I think this is quick.

215
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 5: Too, straight strikeouts? Why he should Maybe he's a.

216
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: Better reliever than he has a starter.

217
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 9: You know, Cowen got credit for like all five runs

218
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,879
because they were on base when when Evans came in,

219
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:31,759
But it was it was three nothing. I mean it

220
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,080
was it was three to one at that point. He

221
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,799
had given up three runs and he pulled him. But look,

222
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,200
Jay knows more about baseball than all of us in

223
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,000
this room combined.

224
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: There's no question about it.

225
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 9: He I think this was trying to be the smartest

226
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:46,440
guy in the room, trying to change it up. Like

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,960
I get that he was a starter at Wafford. He

228
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,600
was a really good starter. I understand that.

229
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't.

230
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:51,639
Speaker 6: I don't care.

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 9: You started a guy in a must win game that

232
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:56,440
hasn't started all year period.

233
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: That's it.

234
00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 9: And I think if if Jay's honest about it, you

235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,480
went asked him, he would say, yep, don't it it

236
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,080
move by me.

237
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 6: I screwed that up. I almost cost my team.

238
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: The game that far.

239
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: I don't know that he go that far.

240
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: I think he would just say, for the reasons that

241
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,480
Matt just laid out, here's why I went with him

242
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:17,279
instead of the true freshman. And I had two pitchers

243
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:19,320
that I knew, these two guys are going to either

244
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,519
get us to the Supers or we're gonna go home

245
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,840
with these two guys, and he went with a guy

246
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,879
with a more experience. I'm saying, like, for me, I

247
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:30,080
would have started case In Evans just because he at

248
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:31,639
least has started those games.

249
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,879
Speaker 7: He started against Tennessee, like he's yeah, he started against

250
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,320
Tennessee like that was the biggest regular season series that

251
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,000
we had in the box. And to me, it's like

252
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,279
he's been getting touched up and we all knew this.

253
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:51,879
I Cason Evans went out there and threw eight straight strikeouts.

254
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:54,039
Speaker 5: I mean what they should.

255
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 6: It was the graphic last weight.

256
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: It was like.

257
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 9: First like seven appearances he gave up reruns. His last

258
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,879
six appearances, he had given up eight runs, so like

259
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:05,320
you you could kind of see it. And that was

260
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,440
before the game even started. It was like, here's your

261
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,480
starting pitcher, here's the e r A, here's what he's

262
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:10,200
done recently.

263
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: Did anybody get PTSD when Anthony Iroston's going in there

264
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,960
and he's warming up and gates.

265
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 6: Jump, Yeah I did.

266
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was giving me like war flash.

267
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 6: But actually I didn't hate that.

268
00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: No, I didn't hear.

269
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,879
Speaker 3: As soon as soon as Cason Evans was doing what

270
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:29,639
he was doing, I said, oh, Anthony Irosen's closing this game.

271
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's nobody else that.

272
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: I'm trusting, right, now and Kate can't come in because

273
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,159
he pitched on Saturday. Anthony Ironson, Now, he went seven innings,

274
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240
but it was with ease right and on Friday, so

275
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,159
he's gonna be available to come back in then as

276
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,960
soon as like two minutes later the TV cuts, he's

277
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,799
going to the bullpen.

278
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: That was the only guy that could close that game.

279
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: But it's just because Gates Jump and who didn't pitch

280
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,840
bad when he came in against North Carolina, but he

281
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,279
did get the loss last year.

282
00:12:57,039 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 6: It's like, oh boy, was it you about one when

283
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,879
Jump came in last year?

284
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:02,279
Speaker 9: I think it was the exact same. I think it

285
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,799
was the exact same You had a one run lead.

286
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,919
Oh yeah, so I was actually about to stop y'all

287
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,000
throw some stats out from last year. But you know what,

288
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,480
it was amazing about sports. It's like, you're you could

289
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,960
be a great coach. He can be a great player.

290
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,519
But at the end of the day, it comes down

291
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:30,279
to good fortune, good preparation, things going your way a

292
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,159
little bit, and then just for a good coach preparing them.

293
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 8: But then the players got to do that, got to

294
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,960
do what they do. So Jay makes this decision, and

295
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600
you know, we all all agree that. You know, we

296
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,440
wouldn't have made the same decision. Okay, but guess what

297
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,320
he only asked to answer like one question at the

298
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,960
press conference and then never think about that decision again.

299
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,799
We talk about this for one segment and then we

300
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,720
move on because they won the game, instead of us

301
00:13:56,799 --> 00:14:00,120
talking about it until next January.

302
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: Right, that would have been brutal.

303
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,639
Speaker 5: This is gonna hurt for like a while.

304
00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: If we would have lost, we would have opened the

305
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,679
show playing Simon and Garfunkel.

306
00:14:08,879 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, hello darkness, smile.

307
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 7: Right, it would have been like, not just for us,

308
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:17,360
but like in the country, a really like huge upset.

309
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,879
Speaker 3: Would have been one of the biggest in the last

310
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,440
fifteen year.

311
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:23,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, to her point, like last year you lost to

312
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:26,960
North Carolina like rock, Yeah, this is little Rock. And

313
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,559
then me and you and Matt were talking about it

314
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,039
before the show, like two things are wild this weekend.

315
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:35,240
First nine SEC teams got eliminated in regionals.

316
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: That is wild.

317
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 9: Also, the teams that won Murray State won Wright State one.

318
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:41,879
I mean this was kind of the year, like if

319
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:43,240
this was when that happened to you at the box,

320
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:44,919
this was the year you kind of felt that the

321
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:46,120
second ending that's I.

322
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,639
Speaker 3: Was telling me the next over and off campus, we

323
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:51,200
had some people like that were chiming in, like you

324
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,200
know that maybe aren't the biggest college baseball fans are like, hey,

325
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,360
is this like a sixteen beating a one in basketball?

326
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Was like, no, it's not that.

327
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,039
Speaker 3: It's not that you had four do it on Friday.

328
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,519
How many sixteens have beaten ones one? Like when Virginia

329
00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:07,360
went down, So that's happened once. Ever, this happened four

330
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,759
times on Friday, so it's not that's not the same.

331
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,720
And you had some baseball teams I mean, utsa, it's

332
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:14,879
being Texas now three times and knocked him out.

333
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's just what baseball.

334
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: Is, crazy kryptonite.

335
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 10: Yep.

336
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:24,879
Speaker 8: Well, if if it had gone different, what would just

337
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,720
move on to football?

338
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: Seven too?

339
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,279
Speaker 3: We just like like two months, no, man, I mean

340
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,679
today would been like just.

341
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,279
Speaker 2: Post mortem, just letter rip letter.

342
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 6: I mean we went out there believing who's coming back.

343
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 8: That's here's my question. Let's start thinking about the head

344
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,039
coach for Little Rock. Where's he coaching next year?

345
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:50,159
Speaker 2: Oh he'll get a job. Oh yeah, there's no doubt

346
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:50,960
he'll get He'll get it.

347
00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:53,879
Speaker 8: I mean he I mean his his interviews were great. Yeah,

348
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:55,679
he he came off really good.

349
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:59,039
Speaker 5: On Virginia on the coverage. Or did they get somebody after.

350
00:15:59,159 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: No, No, don't.

351
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:03,279
Speaker 3: I think O'Connor obviously left and went to Mississippi State.

352
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: I don't that's that's gonna be one of those jobs.

353
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: It's like, I don't love a coaching case.

354
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,879
Speaker 3: It's not certainly like even though oh it's perfect, even

355
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:14,559
though UVA has won national championship, Like that's a place that,

356
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:18,919
over the last five years is not able to keep

357
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:21,879
up with the ones that want to keep up the

358
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,519
SEC schools, the other ACC schools that care more about

359
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:29,240
college baseball. Uh, your Oregon State, your Oregons. But it's

360
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:31,480
still a really good job. And so yeah, UVA is

361
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:33,519
going to get a good coach. I just don't know

362
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:34,799
if it's going to be like, You're not going to

363
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:39,000
steal somebody from the SEC. It's going to be somebody

364
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,559
that's either young and has earned the right to see

365
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:43,759
if he can step up to that or maybe a

366
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:44,559
lateral move.

367
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: So little Rock coach.

368
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: Good.

369
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 8: I'm a big fan of the guy. Take a little

370
00:16:53,240 --> 00:17:00,559
scrappy bunch, look the tiger in the eye, m punch

371
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,960
the face few dumbs.

372
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: That that happened as well, So look a ton to

373
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,680
get to obviously, like we've mentioned it already, like Ole

374
00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:11,039

Speaker 3: Well, yeah, T Bob probably letting him know just what

379
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:23,960

380
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,559

383
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,240

409
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:54,279

410
00:18:55,079 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm addicted and I just can't get I just can't.

411

00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:06,920
U Football like only champions can I.

413
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: Just can what.

414
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:14,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is a legend, players just slappies,

415
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,599
I don't know.

416
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't listen.

417
00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 8: I was listening to a Fergie voice of an angel unless.

418
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: She's singing the national anthem at an NBA All Star game.

419
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was bad, memorable, memorable.

420
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: It's a great song though, absolutely.

421
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 7: I just love when they were panning out all the

422
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,319
players and they were trying so hard not to laugh

423
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,319
while she was doing that.

424
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 9: Actually has the funniest reaction to that. It's I think

425
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,319
he's the first one to crack.

426
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 3: There's just some songs that you can't do too much.

427
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:47,640
She did right, far too much. She went seven miles

428
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,079
past two.

429
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 9: They were like, hey, can you do this? Like four

430
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,200
out of ten? She's like twelve, got it?

431
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 8: And if you're gonna do it different, you got to

432
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:54,720
be known for being like a different type.

433
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,319
Speaker 3: Of artist already, Like I've seen you know James Taylor,

434
00:19:57,799 --> 00:19:59,599
Yeah has done the national anthe.

435
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 8: There you're known of like having great pipes, Yeah, just

436
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:05,160
like have great pipe.

437
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:05,559
Speaker 2: Great.

438
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: There's some moments in that song where you can show

439
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:08,480
it off.

440
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 9: It's right, Yeah, try to do it like sultry, like

441
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,240
the names Relum is just not the song for that.

442
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:18,319
Speaker 4: What is Dale?

443
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 8: Tell Brennan like, I can't even look at you right now.

444
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:23,240
You sound like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.

445
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a compliment.

446
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:27,039
Speaker 4: It was a huge compliment.

447
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Compliment, but not when you're doing.

448
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 8: Extra sing it Francis Scott Key, Yeah right, roade a

449
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,160
bangor sing it.

450
00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:35,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

451
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: But coming back to it, that that song, that's a

452
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:40,559
good one.

453
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: That was a good one.

454
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: All right.

455
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 3: We got to talk about kind of the offense for

456
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:49,720
LSU Baseball, what it was looking like it was going

457
00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:53,200
to be and what it ended up being. We can't

458
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,599
say enough about Ethan Fry in what he did four

459
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,079
for four, four RBIs two walks, was all over the

460
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,160
base path yesterday last night. He has now become the guy.

461
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:10,680
And if y'all have somebody different, please tell me. I

462
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:13,519
don't trust any other player more than I trust him

463
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,200
when he's in the batter's box right now. And for

464
00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:19,160
as much as we want to like wonder and speculate

465
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:23,359
maybe why Zach Cowan started the game on the mound

466
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:26,839
that decision, which again you can certainly find a case

467
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:30,160
and make a case for it, I get it. How

468
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,000
about the lineup changes, Jay needs a big outa boy

469
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:38,519
on that. Because he moves Ethan Fry to the two hole,

470
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,680
Stephn milem to the three hole, you move Bear Jones

471
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,079
back to the sixth hole and all of that worked.

472
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,359
If Ethan Fry is not in the two hole last night,

473
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,920
you do not win that baseball game.

474
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,279
Speaker 2: You don't win.

475
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:56,559
Speaker 3: You can't come in here, you can't call the show,

476
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,359
you can't hit me up on social media and give

477
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,799
me a path for LSU to win that game. Ethan

478
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,039
Fry is not hitting two behind Kurio.

479
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, that dude.

480
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 8: I mean, he just stepped up to the plate and

481
00:22:10,039 --> 00:22:12,519
it just looked and felt different when he was in the.

482
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: Bat at a large game.

483
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 8: He's a large person. He just hits the hell out

484
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,400
of the ball. Y'all can speak more on the lineup

485
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:25,119
changes and the ins and outs and the details about it,

486
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,880
but what I noticed watching the game yesterday is from

487
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,920
one through nine, Lis shoes lineup to me in the

488
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,279
second half of the game made the biggest adjustment and

489
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,400
one thing that made the difference in the game, which

490
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:45,160
was adjusting to a tight, tight strike zone. They made

491
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,039
him throw it right over the middle.

492
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:47,599
Speaker 4: Because that.

493
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,079
Speaker 8: I couldn't believe how tight the strike zone was. I

494
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,759
was like, looked like a strike to me. Both teams

495
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,559
it was. It was both and I feel like I

496
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,880
saw that most of the games and sing, and I

497
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:04,920
was like, that's strike right, absolutely, I would say the

498
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,319
same thing. Even one of the pictures for Little Rock

499
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,759
told that as well, when he was getting pulled. Yeah,

500
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:12,480
he did a couple of a couple other words, he

501
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:16,559
said a couple of Little Rock didn't make as discipline

502
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,680
of an adjustment. To me, they were swinging at more

503
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:21,519
outside of the strikes, and there was only a couple

504
00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:23,079
of the bats where for L.

505
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: S U that I saw, Yeah, that I was like,

506
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,880
I don't swing at it, don't swing at it.

507
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 3: But Little Rock was doing it more. Bear had some

508
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,119
of those before he did. But like I mean, I

509
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,680
loved it. Like the pictureld be up out how many.

510
00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 6: Like how many did.

511
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,519
Speaker 4: Like how many did did they the Little Rock throw?

512
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:45,400
How many times.

513
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,839
Speaker 5: We had or six?

514
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: Eight? They had eight? L s U had five?

515
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, to me, that was just the difference in the game,

516
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:58,119
And I felt like most of those walks were coming

517
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,119
in the back half of the game.

518
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: To your point, it's actually it's a good take that

519
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,680
LSU did have the better takes. They figured out the

520
00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:08,720
zone quicker than Little Rock did. And once you figure

521
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:11,599
it out as a hitter, like some of these pitches,

522
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,799
you might if you know that the umpire is, you know,

523
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,319
expanded his zone, you're gonna say, well, I gotta protect. Yeah,

524
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,039
I mean that's that's at every level of baseball for sure,

525
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,200
every level. I mean eight U kid pitch baseball, right,

526
00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:27,799
we tell the kids, like, as soon as he calls

527
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,839
that one that's in the other batter's box, Hey, he's

528
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,119
calling that, you gotta protect.

529
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,319
Speaker 4: It looked like to me that there was.

530
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 8: There was a couple of times, many times probably that

531
00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:41,240
batters for LSU were one hundred percent taking on two

532
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:45,240
and zho and sometimes yeah sometimes ono, right, they were

533
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,160
just one hundred percent taken make him throw it.

534
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:50,319
Speaker 3: Definitely three to one. There was a ton a lot,

535
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,359
so you can tell, okay, this was straight take.

536
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:56,079
Speaker 5: It was take and do not because there was who

537
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:56,440
was it?

538
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,079
Speaker 2: I think it was Braswell had one.

539
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,319
Speaker 5: That right down.

540
00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:04,599
Speaker 2: The middle, I mean eighty five miles or three to one. Yeah,

541
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:05,519
he took it.

542
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, I think it was Braswell that I

543
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:08,839
was thinking over.

544
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,759
Speaker 3: Oh I knew, I know how you watch baseball. It

545
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:18,319
was Braswell, Yes, without question it was. But what about

546
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,319
Hernandez too?

547
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 11: Bro?

548
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: Two homers, I mean and the first one how quickly

549
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:25,240
he pulled.

550
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: His hands inside of that baseball.

551
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, And that was just like that was the

552
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,680
moment more than any you had in the game, like

553
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:35,839
you had like it you and you had to have

554
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,559
it in that moment because you're wondering, is LSU going

555
00:25:39,599 --> 00:25:40,400
to tie this thing up?

556
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,079
Speaker 2: Because if they tie it up, they'll win it.

557
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: But they got to tie it up right now, And

558
00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:49,839
I thought there was no chance that baseball was staying

559
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,599
fair just because of how far inside he had to

560
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:53,319
bring his hands.

561
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, there's just no chance. But he knew it.

562
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 3: See, we didn't get that angle on the first TV

563
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,640
on the broadcast of him looking at the dugout and celebrating.

564
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,400
You know, it's trying to track the ball, so we

565
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
didn't know it. I thought for sure it was going foul.

566
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,160
But that was the moment like once you tied it up,

567
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,559
you were going to win it. And it sounds weird,

568
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:13,319
but it's like, are you going to be able to

569
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:14,359
tie it up at any point?

570
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:14,559
Speaker 4: No?

571
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 9: And then you know they jump at seven five because

572
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,000
he had another home run and then bottom of the eight, dude,

573
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,400
like they they cut it seven six, and like l

574
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:25,160
you might be out of gas, like what happened to

575
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,440
Byans and doesn't have it? Then they get three more

576
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,559
in the ninth, you get a home run by Bear,

577
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,559
you get a home run by Fry. It's like, like

578
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,480
to your point, that one home run by by Louis

579
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,920
Hernandez like changed everything.

580
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 7: I yes, because it's like, are you going to tie

581
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,400
it up? Because in the third we left the bases

582
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,839
loaded again, and.

583
00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:47,799
Speaker 5: That was about to like that was right? Was it?

584
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

585
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:53,039
Speaker 7: I like, oh my gosh, I about threw my remote

586
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:55,799
out the TV whenever I saw them leave the bases loat.

587
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 2: I said some sweet nothings to my TV.

588
00:26:57,799 --> 00:26:59,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like again.

589
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 7: And then Ethan Fry hits that double I think in

590
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,880
the fourth the next the next inning, and.

591
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 5: I was like, okay, we got something. We're working with something.

592
00:27:08,599 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 11: And then I'm like, just you know what I was

593
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,480
thinking about when Ethan walks up with the basis loaded

594
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,440
of the fourth was the show yesterday where you said

595
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,759
if the bases are loaded, I don't even need you

596
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:19,440
to hit a home run.

597
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 4: In the fourth inning with the basis he walked up

598
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,359
the bat. I was like, boll it hits you a

599
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,440
ding wrong.

600
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 6: He's gonna love this right.

601
00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: It's perfect right in the gap. You knew it as

602
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:37,680
soon as it left the bat, and you knew who

603
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:42,119
was on the basis for you, it's like, yeah, curious.

604
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: With that question.

605
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:50,319
Speaker 9: Stanfield's curios area got that like fry for how big

606
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:50,720
he is.

607
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:53,079
Speaker 2: Whe he was.

608
00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 5: Like that inside the park home run had like his.

609
00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:00,319
Speaker 3: Like when you look at his perfect game profile, his

610
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,319
position is like catch your third left field right deep

611
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:08,279
on built different, I mean actually.

612
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,799
Speaker 9: Like literally build mostly like a player. I mean, you know,

613
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,200
pretty good duel threat QB A rose Pine.

614
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: There was no doubt that you know somebody that looks

615
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:20,799
like that that lives in rose Pine, small town.

616
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: He probably played whatever he.

617
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 9: Wanted, but he was probably really good at basketball. I

618
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,079
bet he was like what I bet he was like

619
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:27,240
the three on the basketball.

620
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: He's probably really good.

621
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,319
Speaker 7: There's can you imagine having to tackle or like try

622
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,839
to sack and fry?

623
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,119
Speaker 3: Probably, yeah, I've seen some large tumbans out there, but no,

624
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,480
not in uh probably like what's rose Pine?

625
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 9: One A, one A two two At most, I don't

626
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:45,559
even know where rose Pine is?

627
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: Did you just get country when you said that?

628
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, I never heard you speak with a

629
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,759
country accident.

630
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

631
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,119
Speaker 5: I had roast pine. I don't know where, that's no doubt.

632
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: All right, all right, we are long for a break.

633
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,880

635
00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:09,359
joins us to break it all down, and we'll do

636
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,519
it right here on OTV, off the bench, all.

637
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: Right, go to Boudroxelectrical dot com.

638
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,079
Speaker 3: Budroxelectrical dot Com is the website, and we've been telling

639
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:21,119
you over the last couple of months as we've been

640
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,160
partners with Boudros. There's never a good time for your

641
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,319
power to go out and you not to have a plan.

642
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,440
But certainly right now, I would say it's the worst

643
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,519
time if your power goes out and you don't have

644
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:36,319
a whole home generator to kick right on. When it happens,

645
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,240
you're going to be in the hot box. It is

646
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:41,720
going to be hotter than hot, and it is not

647
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:43,839
going to be something that you can stand. It's not

648
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,519
going to be fun. You're probably gonna have to go

649
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:49,319
find a hotel to check into because you can't sit

650
00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:52,960
there with no ac in South Louisiana. But if you've

651
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,880
got a whole home generator from Boudros, you have the

652
00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:57,160

00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:52,920
it all down. What happened on the Diamond over the weekend, Chris,

666
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,960
always a pleasure, sir.

667
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: Hope you're doing.

668
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 10: Well, Jacob going home, man, I'm doing well. Appreciate you

669
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,599
have me on. I'm looking at this as kind of

670
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,079
like my redemption visit with you on the show. So

671
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,160
after after last week I can confirm in case you

672
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,920
were wondering it is a lot easier to wake up

673
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,480
and show and go for a radio appearance after you're

674
00:31:12,599 --> 00:31:15,519
not out in the town until about three thirty or

675
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:18,359
four in the morning. So we got listen. We're learning

676
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,440
as we go, making a dustments, kind of like the

677
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,319
LSU baseball team. So yeah, really good to be here, man,

678
00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:23,960
appreciate it.

679
00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:27,839
Speaker 3: Look, as I told you that day, that is not

680
00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:31,079
a big deal at all. As long as I've been

681
00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:33,759
doing a morning show, I know that happens. And the

682
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,480
fact that I know you were out on Broadway having

683
00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:39,279
a good time, and that's the reason that makes it

684
00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:40,359
all worth this, bet right.

685
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: I mean if it had just been like a normal like.

686
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I went to bed at ten and I

687
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,720
thought I set my alarm, like okay, But at least

688
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,759
you got it in like that's all that matters. Like

689
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,160
you had a night one day probably are going to

690
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,920
remember for a little bit, and it makes it.

691
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,319
Speaker 10: All worth it, exactly. If anybody can understand, man, it's

692
00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:01,960
it's you. So I really a brother. But yeah, last night,

693
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,200
I would say this, the only thing maybe more dramatic

694
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,759
than a night out on Broadway is this LSU team

695
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,279
at times. But glad to be talking about him going

696
00:32:11,319 --> 00:32:13,319
to the Supers and what a weekend. Man, it was

697
00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:15,920
a crazy, crazy weekend on the diamond across the league.

698
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean it certainly was. And we'll start with LSU

699
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,160
and you and I were talking. I'm like, man, and

700
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,440
you were gonna come on regardless, which we appreciate.

701
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: I was like, man, it's gonna be a whole lot cooler.

702
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,119
Speaker 3: If Lshue pulls this off, if the ViBe's gonna be

703
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,039
completely different.

704
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: And they do.

705
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: And look, Chris, there was some coaching decisions and you

706
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,920
know this LSU roster that Jay had to make, and

707
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:37,799
he rolls Zach Cowen out there and not Case and

708
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:41,000
Evans to start the game. And Zach Cowen goes out

709
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,799
there and kind of what it's been as of late,

710
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,960
doesn't have his best stuff, gets touched up a little bit,

711
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:50,160
can't find the strike zone, and Jay Johnson quickly goes

712
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,039
to Cason Evans, who was as dominant as you'll see.

713
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, listen, I would have started Case and Evans. And

714
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,519
I'm not Jay Johnson. I'm not smarter than Jay Johnson.

715
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:01,759
I don't know this ball club better than he does,

716
00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:05,480
but I'd have to thank moving forward, going into a

717
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:08,319
super regional weekend if they do get to a game three,

718
00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:11,559
and certainly going into Omaha. I mean, I feel like

719
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,480
Cason's your third best arm. I don't think it's really

720
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,920
that much of a debate anymore. I mean, you know,

721
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,079
he has the length of a starter. You saw him

722
00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:23,279
go one hundred pitches last night. So again, tin Tight's

723
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:26,720
twenty twenty and Cowen's also really really good, and you know,

724
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,720
I think he's obviously going to be a huge piece

725
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,400
from the other stretch. But yeah, the bottom line is this,

726
00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:33,799
I mean, Cason Evans up with stuff a legend, you know,

727
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:36,599
in a moment like that and a situation like that

728
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,079
where you needed a guy to come in and hold

729
00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:42,319
the line and give the offense in time to you know,

730
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,079
to get get it together and put something together. And

731
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,680
you know, you got to start with Ethan Frye offensively,

732
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,839
and he's just he's seeing a beach ball right now.

733
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,599
Really carried the offense to the first felt like what

734
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:56,000
six or seven innings, and then Luisa Nandez has the

735
00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:58,480
two home runs and then Bear Jones, you know, Bear

736
00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:01,880
finally wakes up from iber and that was his first

737
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,880
what extra base hits since May seventeenth to get to

738
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,559
South Carolina in the last regular season series. So I mean,

739
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:10,400
we all know they're gonna need him to get going.

740
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:12,559
But you know, I thought it was smart by Jay

741
00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:14,159
to move him down in the lineup, I believe, the

742
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,320
sixth hole and you know, put him in a different

743
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,199
position and just kind of change some things up. But yeah,

744
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,800
all in on. I mean, listen, I felt good about

745
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,280
LSU going into last night. I mean, I never thought

746
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,599
they were gonna lose, but you know, I thought Old

747
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,719
Miss was gonna win too. And then you look across

748
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,440
what happened over the weekend and you see him down

749
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:33,280
five to one, and I was, I was a little nervous,

750
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,039
but really just a gritty, gussy performance by that team.

751
00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:40,760
And yeah, listen, Jay Johnson knows what he's doing. But yeah,

752
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,239
I would imagine the next time they're in that situation,

753
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,559
With all due respect to the other guys and that

754
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,800
rotation and that bullpen, I gotta think case and Evans

755
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,199
is going to be your Game three guy. You just

756
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,800
you have to think so yeah, yeah, you gotta.

757
00:34:53,599 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 8: Think so yeah, yeah, Chris, what's up? Man's Matt Flann here?

758
00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:59,360
Uh second on the job. So it's great to get

759
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,679
connected with you man. So you're you're all things SEC man,

760
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,639
and so like that's what I really want to hit on.

761
00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:07,000
So I've kind of been watching here in all year

762
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:11,559
how dominant SEC baseball is from from top to bottom. Really,

763
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,559
so how do you kind of how do you break

764
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:18,159
down how do you talk about you know, all week

765
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,360
really only four set SEC teams making it past regionals

766
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,519
to super Regionals, and not only not only only four

767
00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:27,400
teams making it, but a lot of teams losing to

768
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:29,119
some teams, small.

769
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,639
Speaker 2: Teams Murray, Murray State utsa.

770
00:35:32,679 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 8: Almost lsu with I mean, the the the emergence of

771
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,800
these little teams beating these big boy SEC teams that.

772
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,599
Speaker 4: Everybody was just that had came in with all the accolades.

773
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, Matt, first thing I'll say you is it's

774
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,719
the pleasure chat with you. I remember you one of

775
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,159
the first quarterbacks I remember watching as a young SEC fan,

776
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,840
So really, uh really good at talk with you and

777
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,400
hear from you. But no, I mean listen yet, it

778
00:35:55,519 --> 00:35:58,400
was it was a rough weekend for the league. I

779
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,960
don't think there's really any other way to put it.

780
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,320
And I want to keep that in perspective when I

781
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,760
say it, because I don't think it's as bad as

782
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,519
we may feel like it is. I was looking back

783
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:11,039
at last year, guys, when the SEC got four teams

784
00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:14,079
in Omaha. You know, only five made the Super Regional Round.

785
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:15,960
I mean, this year is four, so like, we're not

786
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:20,840
that far off. Unfortunately, we're only guaranteed a max or

787
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,320
I say guarantee, we're only possible a maximum of three

788
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,480
SEC teams in Omaha because obviously Arkansas and Tennessee play

789
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,920
each other. So but I think when you look at

790
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,719
the way that it happened, the number one overall national

791
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,239
seed loses, They've become the first ever not even to

792
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,519
make it to their regional final. That being in Vandy.

793
00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:42,440
You know Texas who won the league. Obviously they lose

794
00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:46,280
the UTSA. You know Old Miss gets outed by four

795
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,920
seed Maurice State. You know you got Florida in Alabama

796
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,360
that both traveled to mid majors. Granted again they had

797
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,039
to go on the road, but you felt pretty good

798
00:36:56,079 --> 00:36:59,159
about them. They both get outed as well, So you know,

799
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,039
I don't want to overreact, but I don't think it's

800
00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:05,039
an overreaction to say that it was a bad weekend

801
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:07,719
for the conference, I think, really truly. I mean, you

802
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,119
get thirteen teams in the field, only four of those

803
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:14,679
teams advanced guys. You have eight hosts, Yeah, and only

804
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,239
only four hosts make it out alive. It's just there's

805
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,079
a lot of parody in the game of baseball. But

806
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:23,000
no doubt it was a it was a little bit

807
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,519
of a tough look this weekend for the SEC. And

808
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:27,880
I mean, listen, the four that made it, I think

809
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,760
are four of the best teams, and they were four

810
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,519
of the best teams in the conference all year. But

811
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,960
you know, certainly some of those top dogs that you expected.

812
00:37:35,039 --> 00:37:37,079
And I didn't even mention Georgia who got walked off

813
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,039
Oklaoma State and lost in their home field too. So yeah,

814
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:43,280
it was a tough weekend across the board. But that's

815
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,239
one of the reasons we love baseball. It's just truly unpredictable.

816
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,199
Speaker 3: Chris, you had like the thing that always happens to

817
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,519
me anytime, like I'll have a take, I'll have this.

818
00:37:51,639 --> 00:37:53,880
I'm like, they're not they're yet, they're not ready. They're

819
00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:56,960
you know, not fraudulent, but close to fraudulent. And you

820
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,480
had that kind of with Vandy Baseball and then they

821
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,119
go and then win the SEC tournament.

822
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:03,559
Speaker 2: You had to do like the hall. Okay I was wrong.

823
00:38:03,679 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: They actually you were right. You had it right the

824
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,519
whole time. They just kind of got hot in Hoover.

825
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:12,519
And I'll be honest with you, Chris, like we can't

826
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:16,079
look at Hoover as anything that we can use I

827
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:20,239
think as like this major like talking point, because like

828
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,079
I had so many old miss fans like in my dms,

829
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:25,119
like when they beat LSU and I'm just like, guys,

830
00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:27,719
like you realize how LSU played that compared to how

831
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,000
you played it, But hey, I got to give you credit,

832
00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:32,639
like you actually had Van d penned. It's just everybody

833
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,639
wanted to throw hate at you because they won the

834
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:35,760
SEC title in Hoover.

835
00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I just felt like Jacobaca, they won

836
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,519
that SEC tournament title and they were the number one

837
00:38:41,559 --> 00:38:44,679
overall national seed, and you know, I I was pretty

838
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,039
pretty vocal about it earlier in the season. I didn't

839
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:49,280
say obviously fired Tim Korban, but I just kind of

840
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,679
felt like, hey, there's a certain style they want to play,

841
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,360
and it's an old school mentality, and it's just you know,

842
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,039
in today's game, it's just hard to win at an

843
00:38:59,039 --> 00:39:02,320
elite level that way. And you know, kudos to them,

844
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,840
I mean the way they finished up and you know,

845
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,920
again to be the number one overall national seed, I

846
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,960
wanted to make sure. I mean, I'm a big believer. Listen,

847
00:39:09,039 --> 00:39:11,000
you we all and I know you guys are too.

848
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:13,800
You listen, you make your predictions and you give your takes,

849
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,719
but more than happy to tip the cap when it's deserving.

850
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,800
And I mean they deserved it. But yeah, unfortunately, and

851
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,159
I was told by some bandy folks that hey, you know,

852
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:25,880
kudos to you for doing that, but let's wait and

853
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,599
make sure that that wasn't premature. And unfortunately, their their

854
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:33,519
work to night here for realizing it was premature. So

855
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,960
you know, it's yeah, there's some really there's some really

856
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:40,960
sour feelings today on the West end in Nashville as

857
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
a whole, because this is a Vanderbilt program that you know,

858
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:46,519
they they're kind of like an LSU. From the standpoint,

859
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,239
success is in judge off being a number one overall

860
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,119
national seed or winning the SEC tournament. It's about at

861
00:39:52,199 --> 00:39:56,119
minimum making supers, going to Omaha's and competing for national

862
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,159
championships and that's the game of baseball. It's just like,

863
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:00,480
that's these top tier programs. That's what you judge your

864
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:02,880
season off of. So yeah, then you mentioned I mean

865
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,440
Jacob Igreuey Hoover is just its own thing. It's the

866
00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:09,599
totally separate you know, there is no I don't know

867
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:12,519
that you can really like include it in the equation

868
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,639
of what you're gonna do or not doing the postseas

869
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:16,440
I mean, think about it. The two teams that were

870
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,239
in the championship in the SEC tournament, they both got

871
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,239
knocked out in their own reasional So what good did

872
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,960
it really do to play that deep into the tournament anyways,

873
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,960
So you know, there's just no perfect rhyme or reason

874
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,320
with it. And you know, again, I think when you

875
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,119
look at the teams that advance the supers like LSU,

876
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,519
Arkansas and Auburn, those were you could argue those were

877
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:37,639
the top three teams in the league. And then Tennessee,

878
00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:40,400
you know, they were very inconsistent up and now, but

879
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,719
we know that they're capable of being one of those

880
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,280
top three or four teams in the league. From a

881
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,159
talent perspective, from a pedigree perspective head coach Tony Vytello. So,

882
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,519
you know, the teams that made it very well. I

883
00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:55,800
think all four could win a national championship, but I

884
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,360
think it's like, is it the bigger storyline the teams

885
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,800
that didn't make it. That's what we're allalking about today.

886
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:05,599
Speaker 8: Chris, I'm gonna ask a question, and this I'm not

887
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,679
like I hadn't been the biggest baseball guy. Our listeners

888
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,159
know that. I'm letting you know that before I asked

889
00:41:11,159 --> 00:41:14,719
this question because I don't know kind of the landscape

890
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,480
of the SEC coaching from top to bottom right now.

891
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:23,159
But in most sports, if you've got a lot of expectations,

892
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:28,440
you have a difficult and disappointed ending. There's some coach

893
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,400
of seats that start to get pretty hot. Do you

894
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,480
see any anything like that happening based on weekend results?

895
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,199
Speaker 10: No, you know, I'm trying to think across the landscape.

896
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:40,559
Speaker 4: You know.

897
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:42,679
Speaker 10: I think the one that was going to happen already

898
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:45,000
did with Chris Lomonez. And I think they've made a

899
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:49,039
great hire over at Mississippi State with with Brian O'Connor.

900
00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:51,519
Just from a pedigree perspective, a guy that's wont a

901
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:54,800
national championship, a guy that understand what it takes to

902
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,719
win the current landscape, and he's going to get all

903
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,760
the backing the needs. I think State's going to be

904
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,199
back up sooner rather than later. But no, outside of that,

905
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,880
I mean there's pressure on Mike Bianco, no doubt at

906
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,880
Old Miss, but I mean he's he's a legend. I

907
00:42:09,199 --> 00:42:11,360
just I don't think you fire that guy after this

908
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,000
kind of season. I mean, it's it's so tough, right

909
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,440
because there are expectations and you hold your program to

910
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,079
a standard, but it's also baseball, and I just I

911
00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:22,119
don't know that you can really fire a guy because

912
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:27,159
you got upset in a regional you know, I don't

913
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:28,960
think so, to be honest with you, I'm trying to

914
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,559
think the Lamis was the very obvious one going into

915
00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:34,880
this season that you knew he was. He was on

916
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,119
the hot seat. I think everybody else, even with the losses,

917
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:41,880
like Bandy's not firing Corbyn, Jim Schlosnageles in his first

918
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,000
year at Texas, Wes Johnson just got an extension at Georgia.

919
00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:49,920
He's not going anywhere now. I think, for the most part,

920
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,239
everybody else should be safe.

921
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 4: All right.

922
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,039
Speaker 2: There he is Chris Phillips SEC on the Filter Man.

923
00:42:56,079 --> 00:43:00,079

924
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,880
but everything in the SEC. Look forward to having some

925
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,519

927
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, Jacob Man, you all the best.
