6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: My MIC's off. We're live the hour.

7
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 3: Sorry, how we are you?

8
00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: Okay?

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:37,679
Speaker 3: Well yeah, your mic is definitely on.

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what's going on? Guys. It's a good thing it

11
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:42,479
wasn't on a little.

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: Earlier, man, That's why I warned you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,439
I'm just kidding. Uh god, I am just really struggling

14
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:53,320
at the beginning of these hours today. I don't know

15
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:56,719
what is going on that was so unfunny as to

16
00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:58,880
be not even evident that I was trying to make

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,399
a joke, like nothing about that even I should have.

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,879
Speaker 2: I apologize just the.

19
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: Top earlier, when you were like, this is Alosh's best start,

20
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,159
You're like, even more interesting, it's the best SEC start.

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: You're like, wait, that actually makes sense if you take.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, not a banner day for your boy.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I'm basically the human equivalent of the traffic that was

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,920
on it in this morning.

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,519
Speaker 2: No, no, coach, oh we got her, She's oh.

26
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: Right, cool, of course, why why would I ever get

27
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,439
anything right off the first rip today? Coach Tarina, what's

28
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:34,959
going on? How are we doing this Thursday morning?

29
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: We're doing great? How are you?

30
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: Uh? You know if I'm just gonna answer that honestly,

31
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,200
not just it. It's a bit of a struggle bus morning,

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,439
you know, one of those mornings where you're playing catch

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,120
up the entire time. Everything's all scattered all over the place.

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,439
Speaker 5: But you know, like every day, every day parenting and

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,079
working a job.

36
00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, exactly right. But it is a scale.

37
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:01,799
It is a scale. There are some days where you

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,239
feel like, Okay, I've got a pretty good handle.

39
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,079
Speaker 3: On this thing, and then this is just one of

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,120
those days where you realize you're just hurtling through the

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400
universe on a little rock, trying to survive.

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,039
Speaker 5: You know, dude, Yeah, I think I have more of

43
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:18,360
those days than the other. So I've like grown accustomed

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:18,680
to it.

45
00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: You know. Well, I cannot imagine heading up a program

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,479
like LSU Softball while also having very young kids. It's

47
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,400
hard enough doing this job, and this job does not

48
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:34,520
compare at all to that job. So very impressive how

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,680
you managed to live in both worlds, for sure, before

50
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:44,159
we get into doing it. Hell yeah, hell yeah, shout

51
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:48,120
out Nick Nicks the man. How about before you get

52
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:52,680
into softball? How does the teal walk? And how was

53
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:53,719
everything last weekend?

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: Did you hear it with in Tiger Stadium? How cool

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,400
is that?

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: That's awesome? That is incredible until windbar as well.

57
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 5: I know, isn't that cool too? But thanks to LSU

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,919
for helping us out in the weather. And yeah, understanding

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,439
the importance of the day. That was awesome. It was awesome.

60
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,879
And Tiger Stadium was nice. Change a venue, you know, Yeah,

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,080
not too shabby.

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: No, it's a very great cause.

63
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: And remember, guys, you can get involved year round in

64
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,400
the fight against ovarian cancer raising awareness ga uxtal dot com.

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,360
As far as the weekend, coach, it's it's a bit

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,639
of a weird weekend. It does seem like weather played

67
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,719
a big part. I mean, just locked in dominant on Friday,

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,120
then Saturday awful weather pushes everything back to Sunday. And

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,599
I know after the game you talked about it just

70
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:49,199
felt like a bit of a weird day, like you

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,280
just felt like your team didn't have it Sunday.

72
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys would like the media asked me you know,

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960
aren't you glad that you did this now? And you

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,800
know your team's a little learn from this, and I

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,879
thought I could get out was no losing suck.

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not.

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,639
Speaker 5: Happy about it. It was really I think just talk

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400
it up to a bad day and that happened throughout

79
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,159
the course of a you know, fifty six game season. Unfortunately,

80
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:18,600
we had two SEC games on this bad day. I

81
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:21,120
think a lot of factors played into it a lot,

82
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:23,319
you know, I think the way we beat them on

83
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,160
Friday night, I think our team probably had high expectations,

84
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,120
and when it didn't go as planned, it's you know,

85
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,000
it was tough to bounce back from it, and then

86
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,240
we started pressing, and I think there's probably a lot

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,319
of factors. This team is still young and new and learning,

88
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,279
and and you know, we were unfortunately on the wrong

89
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,399
end of that one on Sunday.

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, That's actually where I was going to start, was,

91
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,399
you know, having a younger team and having maybe some

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,040
players that haven't really been through something like that, and

93
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,319
you know, dropping a couple of tough games, certainly the

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,879
first game, and you come back and you score in

95
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:56,839
the bottom of the seventh and then you lose it

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,279
in eight innings, but still like going through that and

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,959
things and less that you can learn from that. And

98
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040
again team bounces back nicely twelve to two in the

99
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,079
midweek there. But like we're some of the older players

100
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,600
maybe having those conversations like, hey, like you just said,

101
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:13,199
coach this, there's a bad day. Bad days happen. Ours

102
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,639
just happened on a day where we have multiple games.

103
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,120
We got to, you know, find a way to get

104
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,439
back on track because nobody in the SEC is going

105
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,160
to feel sorry for you, That's for sure.

106
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 5: That's for sure. Yeah, I think you said it really well.

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,000
I think, you know, some of the older players are

108
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240
trying to help them. I mean, we really haven't been

109
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,680
in a lot of type ball games, Like I think

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,920
that was our first ex running game all year. You know,

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,639
this team has just been really dominant, So I think

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,399
there is some Although I told the reporter of that

113
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:41,560
losing sucks, I do think there is some not value

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,000
in the losing, but value in being in those games

115
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800
and like understanding like when you start depressed, how to

116
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,519
still stick with your process, how to still uphold our standards,

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,519
go with the plan, Like there's you know, a mental

118
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,959
side to that. Too, that maybe they haven't been tested

119
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:58,319
enough in that they're going to be tested here in

120
00:05:58,319 --> 00:05:59,639
the next few weeks without a doubt.

121
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: Well, and and and so with all that in mind,

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,959
and yeah, look, they're gonna be coexistent truths, right, Like

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,680
losing can suck, but you get you also just can't

124
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,199
be like, oh, well, I guess there's nothing to be

125
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,600
learned here, Like no, like you have to you have

126
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,560
to take advantage or you have to try to make

127
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,480
the best of a sucky situation.

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,399
Speaker 2: And I feel like your team did.

129
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: That kind of resetting in the midweek coming out. Yeah,

130
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,920
they're taking care of business against McNeice. I know the

131
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,560
score reflects that, but like in terms of the vibe

132
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,279
of the team, did you feel that, Yeah.

133
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,759
Speaker 5: I mean a little slow start there again too at McNeice,

134
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,560
but I think once they got going able to you know,

135
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,600
find their confidence again and then a really strong practice

136
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,319
yesterday I thought, and it was up here, you know,

137
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,439
hitting balls with my kid, and there were people players

138
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:47,360
in this facility until I don't know what time last night,

139
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,959
just on their own working, hitting, trying to get back

140
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,040
and they're committed to the success of this program without

141
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,639
a doubt.

142
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: So winners Tuesday twelve to two.

143
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,639
Speaker 3: And now you got Alabama coming to town Tiger Park,

144
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:02,879
their top twenty five matchup because it is the SEC

145
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:07,079
and everyone's a top twenty five matchup. What does the

146
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,399
scouting report say about the Crimson Tide Traditionally one of

147
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,319
you know, the the the top programs in the entire

148
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:15,480
country year and in year out.

149
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 5: They are and they continue to be. You know, they're

150
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,879
always just well prepared and well coached, as every team

151
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:24,839
in the league is. All these coaches are incredibly talented

152
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:28,079
and they're they're having a year where they're capable of

153
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
eating anyone. They've played well. They haven't played well, They've

154
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,920
you know, been a little bit of an up and

155
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:35,920
down type team, but they just want a series against

156
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:40,120
Georgia last weekend, so they've definitely played well lately. As

157
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,399
always love or handsful for them, and.

158
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: Coach, I know you and I know you always want

159
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,040
to win and this is going to be the most

160
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,040
important thing and you don't really want to look into

161
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,959
the future. But knowing that this one's played at Tiger Park,

162
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,079
and then the next two SEC series are in the

163
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:56,160
State of Texas against A and M and Texas, so

164
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:58,639
not looking forward to the opponent, but just being on

165
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,199
the road. Does that make this series feel even more

166
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,439
important that it is going to be your last one

167
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:05,639
at home for what's going to feel like a month.

168
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

169
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: I think, especially as the coaching staff, we understand the

170
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,800
importance of this one. Just it doesn't get any easier

171
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:15,839
from here on out. You know, going to face what

172
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,519
number number five, number one, No two in the next

173
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:21,160
three weeks after this, you know, I think we have

174
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,199
three top five opponents after this one, and this is

175
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,839
still a top twenty five, top fifteen team this weekend.

176
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,680
So I think just knowing that we are at home

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,160
and it doesn't get any easier, I think there's an

178
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,600
incredible amount of importance in this weekend. And then next

179
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,120
week you're gonna ask me this question and be like,

180
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:36,840
oh my gosh, this is the most important series we've

181
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,440
played all year and then but it is a big

182
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,360
one for sure, And I'm tenured enough here at LSU

183
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,559
now that I understand that to be a successful LSU

184
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,000
coach you have to beat Alabama.

185
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,879
Speaker 3: That's interesting, exactly, yes, yes, well, and and look, you know,

186
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,399
less people forget this is an LSU team currently second

187
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,720
in the SEC with a three eight one team batting average,

188
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:04,480
second in the SEC with a one nine to nine

189
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,120
team ERA.

190
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: And what I love.

191
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: About that is both of those stats are kind of

192
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,919
reflected in a couple of your upperclassmen leaders and Danaka

193
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,440
Coffee and Sydney Burzon are are what has their leadership

194
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,080
meant and what will it continue to mean down the

195
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,879
stretch here? As you know, the stakes increase every single week.

196
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, the two of them are so different. It's cool

197
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,080
to see those two as the leaders. You know, I

198
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,120
think Sydney is just calculated and well thought out and

199
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,000
you know, analytical, and then Danica is a little more

200
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,799
spontaneous and in your face. And I think the two

201
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:44,960
of them combined to be a really nice leadership package

202
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,960
for this group. It's fun to see him do it well.

203
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,879
Speaker 3: Coach is going to be a fantastic weekend at Tiger Park. Guys,

204
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:53,759
get out there to the burm, have some fun. Thank

205
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:55,679
you so much for making time with us here on

206
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,279
this Thursday, and you have a fantastic day.

207
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: Go kick some out.

208
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 5: Thank you. I appreciate you, guys.

209
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,399
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Coach Betterina again. Guys, go teal dot com if

210
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,480
you want to give at any time to a great

211
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,279
cause and shout out to coach Erena and this softball

212
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,879
team looking to bounce back.

213
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is Alabama team.

214
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: You know generally what Jake, you know better than I do,

215
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,679
But I mean generally Alabama is like one two national champion.

216
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,879
Good twenty seven and thirteen this year, so, as coach said,

217
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,360
a bit of an up and down year. But as

218
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:34,159
you learned on Sunday, the second you start thinking or

219
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000
getting comfortable in this league, you can get immediately sniped.

220
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it.

221
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,759
Speaker 6: They're typically a top ten softball team and still even

222
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,639
you know, with their air quotes struggling, they're still sixteenth

223
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,919
in the RPI in the nation, right, So yes, they're

224
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,600
twenty five and thirteen. They've played a very difficult schedule.

225
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
They have struggled on the road certainly compared to what

226
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,840
they've been at home. So that's why we, you know,

227
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:01,120
talk about taking full of advantage of it because it

228
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:04,960
doesn't get easier. You've got Florida coming up, number one

229
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,879
team in the RPI. You've got Texas coming up, number

230
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:11,080
five team in the RPI, right, so you understand what

231
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,879
is going to be in front of you on the

232
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,559
road against Texas, against Texa and m you get Florida

233
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,360
at home, which is obviously a benefit for you, but

234
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,120
it is going to be tough down the stretch. Now

235
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,879
you're sitting at number four in the RPI, so you're

236
00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:24,799
in a great position.

237
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,039
Speaker 2: You're in a prime position to be a host there.

238
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 6: But you're twenty four and two at home, and so

239
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,240
you have to take advantage of this Alabama team.

240
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: Are they good? Yes?

241
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 6: Did they just beat George enni series? Yes, But you

242
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,399
are the better softball team bare minimum.

243
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,759
Speaker 3: It just is what it is. You got to at

244
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,200
least win two games. That's interesting. I didn't realize. So

245
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,279
those are their first home losses of the year last weekend. Yeah,

246
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,279
so you've been perfect all year long, and then, unfortunately,

247
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,519
like you said, on a day where maybe you just.

248
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,639
Speaker 2: Don't have it, you end up with a doubleheader. That's tough.

249
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,600
But again you know why because.

250
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 6: Before then they lost to cal State out in Cali,

251
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:03,159
and then they.

252
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,759
Speaker 2: Lost to Georgia at Georgia. Yeah, why do we fall down,

253
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:11,279
Bruce to get back up? Isn't that? Is that what

254
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,000
he says? That's what I'm saying. I don't really remember.

255
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: Why do we fall down, Bruce, to suffer emotional trauma

256
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:20,879
that's going to break our psyche and cause us to

257
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,320
battle petty criminals and break their arms and legs, but

258
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:26,639
refuse to kill them for some reason, even though they're

259
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,360
killing others.

260
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: That's why we fall down, Pruce. That's why.

261
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,519
Speaker 3: Oh and if you find a little circus boy whose

262
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,919
parents have also died, go ahead and have him live

263
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,679
in your home with you. Train him to fight criminals

264
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,679
as well, and consistently put him in situations where people

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,639
are shooting at him. That's why we fall down, Bruce.

Speaker 1: Back to sports talk, maybe off the bench?

290
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:02,799
Speaker 3: Oh to be Paul Schimes and Libby Dune. Just so young,

291
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:08,559
so beautiful, so successful. See schemes last night when he

292
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:13,600
ended up with seven innings nowhere and runs six k's,

293
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,799
no walks, just perfect.

294
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 5: He's ridiculous.

295
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: Want to know now?

296
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,919
Speaker 3: Because the Pirates actually didn't.

297
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:22,919
Speaker 2: Blow it right? No they won, Yeah they won't. That's

298
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:23,480
what I'm saying.

299
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: They're so young and beautiful. It makes me feel increasingly old,

300
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:32,200
like it makes my knees hurt looking at their GQ pictures.

301
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,279
They have like a prince and princess monarchal sort of

302
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,399
feel to them. And you know what I was thinking about,

303
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Jake looking at the pictures. You know, it's a bad feeling.

304
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:43,120
And I don't think you would feel this way, but

305
00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:46,240
I'm being honest, I think I would. But a bad

306
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,480
feeling is when you would interact with someone who's like

307
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,080
a dozen years younger than you, and you would feel

308
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,360
like you're intimidated. Like if I was hanging out with

309
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,759
Paul Skeins or talking to Paul Skeins and Levey Done,

310
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:00,600
I would feel a little starstruck. I would feel intimidated.

311
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,840
I would feel less than and that that is a

312
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:04,480
bad feeling.

313
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 7: Paul Skeens is the first picture to post a sub

314
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,840
to era with one hundred and seventy five plus strikeouts

315
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,679
over their first twenty five MLB appearances.

316
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: God, I no, I saw That's not last night.

317
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,159
Speaker 7: I was like, that's insane, that's unreal. I continue to

318
00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:24,480
play for the Pirates and have a sub to Eer's crazy.

319
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, true. I continue to to just be amazed

320
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,440
at his delivery.

321
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: So something that my.

322
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:37,679
Speaker 3: Algorithm's been feeding me, and it's a great way to

323
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:41,440
enjoy baseball. Baseball's very I think shorts friendly.

324
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: There's all yeah.

325
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,279
Speaker 3: I've pitching in is great, but there's like baseball doesn't exist.

326
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,000
There's but there's just like a million things that highlight

327
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,200
the absurdity of baseball in some cases, like craziest deliveries,

328
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,440
crazy stances, like wildest moments, and it all plays very well.

329
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,200
But I'll be damned if I'm not head over heels

330
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,360
in love with Schemes delivery. It is so freaking smooth

331
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,320
and how it builds up. It's like Indiana Jones whip,

332
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:15,960
just so smooth and it builds up to the crack

333
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:19,759
when he releases, and it's just this thing of beauty.

334
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: It's a thing of beauty.

335
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,279
Speaker 6: Well last night, I mean you mentioned it. Stat's there,

336
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:26,639
seven inches, pitch, doesn't give up an earned run, strikes

337
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,320
out six, and it's like, okay, because of how good

338
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,799
he's been, Like that's a great stat line. Yeah, like

339
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,879
any starter, that's a obviously a quality start.

340
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,519
Speaker 3: Especially nowadays. Seven ins a long time.

341
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they would be thrilled with that, but he's

342
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,559
been so dominant it's like, oh, okay, okay, night, all right.

343
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,639
Speaker 3: I feel like two because his delivery is so smooth

344
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:48,320
and whippy.

345
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: And loose.

346
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:51,919
Speaker 3: I feel like it's not that bad. I'm not, you know,

347
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,519
I don't. I'm talking out of my ass, but I

348
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:57,559
feel like it doesn't seem like it's putting like undue

349
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,720
stress on his body. As much as you can managed

350
00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:03,320
throwing a baseball that hard that many.

351
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 7: Times, He's just so strong that it just doesn't bother him.

352
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mean, not all pictures are created equal to Bob,

353
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:11,440
and pitchcount shouldn't.

354
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: Be as strict.

355
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: I just I don't believe it.

356
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. I don't. It's weird.

357
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: I love that you have passion for every sports conversation

358
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:23,240
that has ever existed.

359
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: I just I don't like how like pitch counter is

360
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,799
so blanketed across the board.

361
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: Everybody's different. Yeah, you're not wrong, wrong.

362
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 7: I know Ryan used to throw like a million pigs.

363
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,839
Speaker 3: Exactly like okay, but he is an outlier. But to

364
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,160
All's point, you're gonna have outliers. But like I guess,

365
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,799
the question is do you risk that your guys in

366
00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:41,359
outline You.

367
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,559
Speaker 4: Always talk about schemes and like, oh, he's got the

368
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:44,440
strong lower body.

369
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he uses his whole body.

370
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 4: It's not taxing on his arm. As much like if

371
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,160
I'm out there throwing all arm, even if I'm equally

372
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,480
as talented as Skins, I'm throwing all arm, I'm going

373
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,319
about half the distance. Yeah, there's a lot more taxing

374
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,279
on me. Like pitch counter not the same, But everybody

375
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,880
just treats him like they are, like, he's throwing ninety pitches,

376
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,119
you gotta get him out of the game.

377
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 7: Well, we put pitch counts into play, and now everybody's

378
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,279
getting Tommy John surgery.

379
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, is that just because everybody's throwing way harder?

380
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: Though?

381
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,759
Speaker 4: I think it's because you're you're giving them pitch counts

382
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:19,359
too young and they don't have the stamina to go

383
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:19,960
the distance.

384
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: Like the.

385
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 4: Think about training for something like if I'm training for

386
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,440
a marathon, but I stop at three miles every time,

387
00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:29,559
you're never gonna I'm out.

388
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:32,599
Speaker 3: But but but build up to is that? But on

389
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,920
the in the same token, is it also bad to

390
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,759
just wear out a kid's are like, just just get

391
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:42,680
after it and have him throw like two hundred pitches.

392
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,759
Speaker 7: Do you think that the amount of games that kids

393
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:46,599
play nowadays is ridiculous?

394
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: That's part of the problem too.

395
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 7: It's if you're playing five games in one day. Yeah,

396
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,720
you're gonna have issues. I think it's more of like

397
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:57,039
how many games these kids are playing on their travel

398
00:18:57,039 --> 00:18:57,599
ball teams.

399
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Jake, you're getting to uh, you're getting to

400
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,240
that age where they're gonna start to be kids are

401
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:06,079
going to start to be throwing if they're not already.

402
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:10,279
Speaker 2: I mean, he plays you know, kid pitch for sure. Uh.

403
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,200
It is a lot. It is a ton.

404
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know you can play now this person is

405
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,279
not pitching the entire time.

406
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: But you can play six games in a weekend easy?

407
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 3: What?

408
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah?

409
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 8: Yeah.

410
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,599
Speaker 6: I mean if you make it to the championship, so

411
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,599
you got your pool play on Saturday, You've got your tournament,

412
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,599
you know, bracket on Sunday. Yeah, you can play six games.

413
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,960
It's like how much is that kid pitching? But not

414
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:35,160
just pitching, it's also like how much.

415
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,279
Speaker 2: Are you warming up? Like what are you doing in

416
00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:37,839
your bullpen?

417
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 6: And the pitcher's probably playing and at that level shortstop too.

418
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,240
How many potouts does he have a short stop where

419
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,200
he's throwing at full board across the diamond.

420
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: So I mean, no, it's a lot.

421
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 7: That is the other thing about Paul though, Like to

422
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,839
your point, is he has a crazy good warm up

423
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,880
and he's very cognizant of stuff like that.

424
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: He really him. Yeah, yeah, I mean yes, he is

425
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,279
an obsessive worker. That's probably something that I think it's

426
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:12,400
lost maybe a bit. Is. Yes, he has a great

427
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,279
natural body, great natural talent, but hard work beat talent

428
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,400
town doesn't work hard. Paul's that rare, uber talented guy

429
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,160
who also outworks everyone. Actually, Trey Morgan, they had a

430
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,880
great on the broadcast and the Race Pirates broadcast, they

431
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,519
had a great breakdown of that, I think from the

432
00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:31,119
Ray's side, because Trey being one of their top prospects

433
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,519
right now. Yeah, where Trade Morgan was. Somehow nobody works

434
00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:36,559
harder than Paul skiing stats.

435
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,559
Speaker 2: I believe it.

436
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 7: They're working out together in Baton Rouge this summer.

437
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

438
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: Look, he's got his own routine as well. And you

439
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,319
know everybody thinks, well, this person said this is the

440
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,519
right routine, and that person, well, now you can't do

441
00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:51,000
that when you warm up. It's like no, it's about

442
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,640
how do you get yourself ready? What helps you get ready?

443
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Like my routine was going to be different than T Bops.

444
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:58,680
T Bob's going to be different than.

445
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: Will Blackwell, whatever it is, like, we all were gonna

446
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,640
have a different routine.

447
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,039
Speaker 6: I say it all the time. Philip Rivers would come out.

448
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:09,599
He'd give two arm circles, get a football thrown to him,

449
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,279
throw it and say all right, let's go. And that

450
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,559
was him. He was ready to go. Peytons thirty five

451
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:16,400
minutes to stretching.

452
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: You're ready to go.

453
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 6: Heck, I've played over forty or over thirty co ed

454
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,599
soccer with Gordy Rush, where he's taken forty five minutes

455
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,680
to get warmed back. Look to run for ten minutes

456
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,480
on the soccer pitch.

457
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: That's smart.

458
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: If you're gonna do ancient athletes, you better have your

459
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,079
ass warm it.

460
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:36,039
Speaker 2: Out and Gordy can run.

461
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: Gordy's fast because we got to minimize injury risk here.

462
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 6: And I don't know, you can go to Austioner facility

463
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,799
at Elite Training Academy if you get hurt doing ancient athlete.

464
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: So I don't think that I well, I mean, I

465
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000
don't know, so look shout out. I was there yesterday.

466
00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:57,519
I had a great It's been the end of a

467
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,240
long process. Got my mur ale that others are stuff.

468
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,960
Yesterday I got my physical therapy, playing and it's all

469
00:22:04,039 --> 00:22:06,200
it's it's I'm really excited. I think I'm finally gonna

470
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,000
get back to UH at least mitigating the damage of

471
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,920
having a shoulder that's just completely wrecked.

472
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: It's just dust.

473
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just bone on bone grinding.

474
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:21,799
Speaker 2: And you know I love grinding.

475
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 6: I know you do docking and grinding.

476
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,519
Speaker 3: Docking and grinding, Well, I don't love docking. I describe

477
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:30,880
grinding as docum. But if we're talking about just docking,

478
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:34,880
that is something else that that's different. Do you know

479
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,759
what documents I'm gonna explain it to you in the UH,

480
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:41,920
in the commercial brains, so.

481
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: I google it. No, no, no, absolutely not.

482
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 3: All right, when we get back, let's talk to coach

00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,599
Speaker 3: Idea what I'm always talking about, you know what, actually like,

497
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:26,359
I'm gonna explore this pro plan. We're for ninety nine

498
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,599
dollars a year, I get twenty four to seven monitoring,

499
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:36,119
priority scheduling, one hour service windows. What that means is that, well,

500
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,839
first it's very it's good for like staying on top

501
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,799
of things and make sure that you avoid the catastrophic

502
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,640
issues right. But also if it does come to that,

503
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,359
we have great financi and options. Ave ailale go to

504
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,440
kolbar HVAC dot com.

505
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: Well, sports talk meets pure chaos off the bench with

506
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,200
Hester and t Bob.

507
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,079
Speaker 3: What's happening y'all? Welcome back and we are so lucky.

508
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,559
It is game day in Norman, and yet here we

509
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,960
are joined by the man himself, LSU baseball head coach

510
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:04,160
coach Jay Johnson.

511
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: Coach. What's going on?

512
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:06,039
Speaker 3: Man?

513
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: How are you doing today?

514
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 8: And how are you guys?

515
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: We're doing well? Have you caught up on sleep?

516
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: I was, I was flabbergasted over the weekend, coach where

517
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Saturday night flu's been just running through my family, absolutely awful.

518
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,799
So I'm up all night with the kids. Everybody's coughing,

519
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:27,359
throwing up, crying whatever. It's about three am. I'm dealing

520
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,599
with that. I'm like, oh, I need to check the

521
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,880
score of the game. And I think it was a

522
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,119
post from like thirty minutes before that that the game

523
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,240
had just ended. Is that the latest game you've ever

524
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,680
played in?

525
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: I think so?

526
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,559
Speaker 8: Yeah? And I gotta be honest, I don't know how

527
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:47,640
many wins after midnight I had before coming to LSU.

528
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200
So we had a a SEC tournament won the first year,

529
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,279
a Super Regional one the second year, and then to

530
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,160
this weekend. So maybe we just start all our games

531
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,680
at nine to thirty pm from now on.

532
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,599
Speaker 6: Coach have to ask you, I mean, when you take

533
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240
this job, you have been at places where like it

534
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,359
literally never rained, it just didn't happen. And I lived

535
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,440
in some of those places with you. I know it

536
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,359
didn't rain. And now you come to a place where

537
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,119
like every day, yeah, you probably can get like a

538
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,200
slight shower, Like have you even gotten used to that yet?

539
00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

540
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 8: I think we've been good at picking the windows. Yeah,

541
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:24,680
sometimes they just happened at two am. You know it's no,

542
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,160
not ironically, it's raining here right now.

543
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:29,079
Speaker 2: Okay, awesome.

544
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 3: So series beginning tonight six pm, LSU, Oklahoma. But like

545
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,039
we always kind of do before we look forward, uh,

546
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,519
let's look back to last weekend, coach, and I felt

547
00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:47,079
like this was just a massive character building series for

548
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,960
this team, right to have the Game one, they try

549
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,720
to pitch off, and then you kind of end up

550
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:54,480
in the worst case scenario, right where all of a

551
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,519
sudden you're in a hole and they're pitching off and

552
00:25:56,559 --> 00:25:58,400
you can already in game one feel the pressure of

553
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,599
the series building up, your team find the way to

554
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,319
come back and win. Then hines and steps up. Game

555
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,920
two goes toe to toe with the ace. What did

556
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,519
you learn about your team in that sweep last weekend?

557
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:11,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we just tried to take a lot

558
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:13,559
of pride in winning any type of game that we can.

559
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:15,720
And as you mentioned in the first one, it was

560
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:20,559
of comeback nature. Second one, Pitcher's dual, you know, third one,

561
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:24,119
I guess we'll call it a slugfest. So it kind

562
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,160
of fit that model, you know, relative to all the

563
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,599
other stuff like who's pitch and where and what like,

564
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,279
I honestly think our guys are just kind of immune

565
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:36,839
to that because it's it's about execution and I think

566
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:39,319
that's a good thing, and that's why I bring that up.

567
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,920
And they just they just kind of kept playing, and

568
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,200
we got ourselves in position on Friday, excuse me, Thursday

569
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,759
and Friday to get our best pictures in the game

570
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:50,359
with the lead, and that's where you like to be

571
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,519
and we were able to do that. And you know,

572
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:55,200
super impressive performance by the offense in Game three.

573
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:58,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it was in coaching in game one

574
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,000
to go back there, the hom of the fifth inning.

575
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:03,759
I mean, you've got a true freshman that gets that

576
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:06,559
thing started by, you know, having a good at bat

577
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:08,960
and drawing a walk. And then you've got Barry Jones

578
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,119
who doesn't chase and he gets a walk, and then

579
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Dickinson obviously hits the home run, but it was the walks.

580
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,720
It was being patient at the plate that led to

581
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,440
the home run. And then of course, you know Milam

582
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:21,839
Homer's to take the lead, but just to have that

583
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,039
at the top of your lineup from a true freshman,

584
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,920
then your power hitter also a great at bat doesn't

585
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,880
try to press too much. I know, more than anything,

586
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,160
you have to appreciate the way that that those runs

587
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,319
came in the fifth inning.

588
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:36,759
Speaker 8: No doubt. And you know we've been an excellent first

589
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:40,000
inning team this year. And you don't have to look

590
00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:42,759
past the personnel. You know, is why is that's happening?

591
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:44,799
You know, Derek is running a great at bat. It's

592
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:46,759
either a walk or it's an eight, nine to ten

593
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:50,079
pitch at bat, and the pictures looking up and go, okay, great,

594
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,200
Now Jared Jones is coming out. You know he can

595
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,559
hit it to the moon and he takes good at bats.

596
00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:58,039
And then you know Danny's just he's gonna take a

597
00:27:58,079 --> 00:28:00,559
good at bat no matter what. To us on or

598
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,519
there's guys on base, and he's a really balanced attack guy.

599
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,039
So those guys have done a great job and then

600
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,400
the guys right behind him just do a really good

601
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,640
job of spilling the game down with runners on base.

602
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,000
And its been a good recipe for us so far.

603
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:17,039
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I know, coach said everything. When it

604
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:19,799
comes to you and your expertise, it's just all about

605
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:24,319
quality at bets, every single pitch, making them work, staying

606
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,920
in the moment and top to bottom. I don't think

607
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,119
I've seen a team with you at LSU that's done

608
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:32,319
this so consistently. I mean, number three in the country

609
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960
right now, bad and average number three in the country

610
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,359
and on base percentage and kind of shockingly one of

611
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,759
the guys Lady in the way he's.

612
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,599
Speaker 2: A freshman and Curiel.

613
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:46,759
Speaker 3: I know he was very highly regarded coming out, But

614
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,079
has this level of success even taken you by a

615
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:51,920
surprise A bit?

616
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe a little bit, just because you know, the

617
00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:59,000
jump to what we're doing is pretty significant. I will

618
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:02,759
say that, you know, you know, recruiting Derek like he's

619
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,359
one of the most skilled young players I've ever seen

620
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,839
that's actually ended up in college like a lot of

621
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,599
guys go straight to the pros. I think just his

622
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,119
awareness of things, you know, who he is as a player,

623
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,960
what he needs to do to impact the game and

624
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:24,279
winning is very advanced, and so he can he can

625
00:29:24,319 --> 00:29:27,519
come into an environment like this and just be himself.

626
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,599
And he's got a great knack for, you know, making

627
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,759
adjustments quickly, and I think that's why you see the consistency.

628
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: He absolutely does. It's been a lot of fun to watch.

629
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 6: But coach, I feel like we don't talk enough about

630
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:42,759
another freshman for being a freshman in the situations that

631
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:44,799
you've put him in and he's thrived and that's case

632
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:45,319
and Evans.

633
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of people like it.

634
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,359
Speaker 6: And maybe if you're not dialed in, you would be like, oh, well,

635
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,440
he's been here for a while, he came from somewhere else,

636
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:53,920
Like no, this is a freshman.

637
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:55,319
Speaker 2: And between him and he.

638
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 8: Certainly acts and he's certainly acts and pitches pitches like yeah,

639
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,079
and we're certainly sorry house keeping his button in on

640
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:12,759
me kind of early here. He pitches like that very

641
00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:15,519
similarly to Derek because he knows who he is. He's

642
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:19,640
got a ton of talent, the competitive character, the pitchability,

643
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,759
and you know, not surprised at all, Like I mean,

644
00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:24,960
it was one of those you know, I mentioned this

645
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,440
probably with you guys before, like when when Paul Schemes

646
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,720
committed he like you knew it was important. Now this

647
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,119
is as a kid as a junior in high school.

648
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:36,200
But had a similar type of feeling like I actually

649
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:39,039
kind of a funny story called me on a Thursday

650
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:41,160
and said, Hey, I want to come out for a

651
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,319
second visit, And I was like, holy cow, maybe he's

652
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:47,599
gonna pull the trigger on this and commit while he's there.

653
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,559
And I was actually supposed to go to California for

654
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,640
one of my friend's wedding fly out on Saturday or

655
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,599
excuse me, flo out on Friday to be there Saturday.

656
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,160
So I just called him up and said, hey, man,

657
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:58,720
we're not coming. I got this, dude, I gotta get

658
00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:02,279
closed out and just whatever. The most expensive thing on

659
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:03,079
your registry is.

660
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, I love that.

661
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 6: I love the commitments, certainly, but I mean coaching these

662
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,240
Friday Saturday games and it's Case and Evans and Zach Cowen,

663
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:17,440
they're out of the bullpen. I mean, what a luxury

664
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,440
to have your starters get the ball to them, obviously

665
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,079
with an opportunity to win, but I mean to have

666
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,559
these guys close the door on the game. I mean,

667
00:31:25,599 --> 00:31:28,480
can you remember having something like that, having multiple guys

668
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,720
that have been so good in.

669
00:31:29,519 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: That role in your career?

670
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:31,799
Speaker 3: Uh?

671
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,519
Speaker 8: No, I mean your better teams, you usually have two

672
00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:36,680
relievers you can go to. Though you know, over the

673
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,720
course of a three game weekend, and especially in the SEC,

674
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,720
you're going to get a game where you have to

675
00:31:42,759 --> 00:31:44,880
go to one of those guys. It's probably going to

676
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,440
take them out of availability for the other two right

677
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,519
and just with the offenses. So it's a huge factor

678
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:52,960
to be able to do that. You know, Kotcheski and

679
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,000
I were talking earlier, you usually have a good team

680
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:59,640
when you see a team with guys with multiple saves,

681
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,160
and that's what we have here. And now I give

682
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,200
wins too, and it's allowing it. What I like about

683
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,000
it is it's allowing some of the rest of those

684
00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:11,039
guys to come on at their own pace. And again,

685
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:14,000
everybody's kind of got to remember, even sitting here at

686
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:16,920
twenty seven and three, you forget like Kate Anderson is

687
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,920
the only pitcher that's pitched this year that threw one

688
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:23,400
sec inning last year at LSU. So I like what

689
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,720
those guys are doing so far.

690
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: That's I was not. I did not.

691
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:29,319
Speaker 3: I was not aware of that, or at least I hadn't.

692
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,880
Like maybe I was aware, but I never quite framed

693
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,880
it up like that. That is that is wild talking

694
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,799
to coach Jay Johnson else you had baseball coach so earlier.

695
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: Coach, you know, we're doing our little Oklahoma Scout report.

696
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,799
Speaker 3: We're looking at where they ranked statistically and everything, and

697
00:32:42,839 --> 00:32:45,880
there is one thing Jake pointed out that just absolutely

698
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,759
jumps off the page. And obviously it's the stolen bases, right.

699
00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:53,519
This team wants to run and y'all have not faced

700
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:56,400
a lot of that this year through three sec series.

701
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,720
How do you prepare for an element of the game

702
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,400
like that that is just going to be Well, they're

703
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,559
gonna try to do it at a level that you

704
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,039
just haven't seen yet this season.

705
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:10,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, the first thing is you get the leadoff man out,

706
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,960
like that's everything. It's like in your guys's terms, like

707
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:16,559
you know, they're in second and nine and third and

708
00:33:16,599 --> 00:33:19,240
eight all the time, you know, and that's how you

709
00:33:19,319 --> 00:33:21,920
do that first. But when guys get on base, which

710
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,839
they will, you know, it's a good offensive team, you know.

711
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,559
And koch Evsky is really good at you know, calling picks,

712
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,440
getting pitchers to hold the ball, be quick to the plate.

713
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,200
You know, we're pretty efficient in that regard. And you know,

714
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,680
the thing with stolen bases is like if you can

715
00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:41,480
limit the attempts, and you do that by getting the

716
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:44,200
leadoff guy out and then just being good with those

717
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,839
types of things, which we're that's the strength of our staff,

718
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,119
I would say, And we're gonna have to be good

719
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:51,640
at it this weekend because you don't want to give

720
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,400
them free bases because they do have a good pitching

721
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,160
staff also, and you know, you never know the weather

722
00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,519
with these things and playing on the road, so we

723
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:01,799
have to just playing in close games. So we're gonna

724
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:02,839
have to do a good job of that.

725
00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 6: Coach, you're taking your team to a new ballpark there

726
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,880
in Norman, Oklahoma. And Coach Staban used to always take us,

727
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,840
like if we went somewhere, he would take us to

728
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,360
the stadium as soon as we got to town. And

729
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,840
I remember like, hey, coach, this is fifty three and

730
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:21,039
three yards wide. It's one hundred yards long. Like he's like, yeah,

731
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:23,519
but I want you to see this stadium. So when

732
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:25,719
we get in here, it's not a surprise. You can

733
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,880
see kind of how the seats are and what the

734
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,320
end zones look like all of that. But baseball is

735
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,400
different because every stadium is going to be a little

736
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,880
bit different. Is that something like you do in baseball,

737
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,159
Like do you say, hey, here's how this is going

738
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,880
to play. This wall's here, this foul line's here. Do

739
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,559
you go over that when you go somewhere new Oh.

740
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure. And we have a pretty good what's

741
00:34:46,039 --> 00:34:48,719
Wednesday this week? But Thursday practice script while we're on

742
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,599
the road, to cover some things to make sure we're

743
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:54,920
as familiar as we possibly can be. Again, another turf

744
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,880
field this week. This is much different than Texas's turf though.

745
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,639
It's really fast and so the ball, the infielders you

746
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,440
really have to play low and you can't get caught,

747
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:06,159
you know, being surprised on a ball getting on you.

748
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:08,920
It's almost not concrete the wrong word, but it's it's

749
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,840
going to play fast. There's not a lot of foults.

750
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,079
There's not a lot of foul territory. It's not a

751
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:15,039
huge stadium.

752
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:15,599
Speaker 2: You know.

753
00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 8: The wind, you know, is going to play a factor,

754
00:35:19,159 --> 00:35:22,039
but yeah, we we really try to hammer that down.

755
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:24,000
And it's kind of like the you know, obviously not

756
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:26,400
comparing this to any kind of war or anything like that,

757
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,599
but it's like you want to lay your battle plan. Yeah,

758
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,559
wreck wreck the area and then get on the plane

759
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:35,440
and move on, you know, so turn field.

760
00:35:35,159 --> 00:35:37,679
Speaker 2: This is the sec anyway.

761
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: Anyway, a Ladra coach, if you'll indulge us, a Ladra

762
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,079
has a bit of a fun question for you here

763
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:45,679
on the way.

764
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,599
Speaker 7: Out, Hey, coach, okay. Well, first of all, as somebody

765
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:52,039
who does like the production for the baseball games, I'm

766
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,800
begging you to not play at nine thirty anymore. But

767
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,280
my question is, okay, so doing this for our website

768
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:04,679
masters coming up next week? What would be your master's

769
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,480
meal if you could plan one? Scotti Scheffler to give

770
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,119
you a little idea, He's he's got wood fired cowboy

771
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:14,960
Rabbi family style macaroni and cheese and chipotle lime roasted

772
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,360
sweet potatoes. Sound just to give you a little idea,

773
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,800
what would be your master's meal?

774
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:26,039
Speaker 8: I'm going with Scottie. I guess loaded baked potato, you know,

775
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,840
vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup to finish it off.

776
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: Hell ya, that's.

777
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,159
Speaker 3: America right there, guys. Coach Jay Johnson, else you had

778
00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:38,400
baseball coach? Thank you so much, man, and best of

779
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,320
luck tonight. I can't wait, all right, sir, Coaching Johnson.

780
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:45,360
What a legend, What a legend?

781
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: You know?

782
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 3: I've never a man is so sincere in his answers

783
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,679
and his time.

784
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:50,079
Speaker 2: That he gives.

785
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:53,559
Speaker 6: This man missed his friend's wedding for recruiting, which I love,

786
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:55,559
love that, and you should.

787
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,079
Speaker 2: Be excited that he's your head baseball coach.

788
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 3: And he did it for a guy that now has

789
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,719
a sub one ere five saves on the year.

790
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 6: So, dude, Worth, I should have known that he certainly

791
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,559
covers because Coach Saved used to always bring us into

792
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:10,280
it and I remember the swamp. He's like, hey, these

793
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:13,480
look the stadium. See how that those seats go straight up. Hey,

794
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,360
here's where the students are going to be. It's going

795
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,960
to be loud, they're gonna get on your nerves. They're

796
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,960
going to say things about your mom. Right like all that,

797
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,880
I was like, it's just like the same football for

798
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,599
now being older, Like I absolutely realized why he did it.

799
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: But baseball is.

800
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,559
Speaker 6: Different because, like you said, that turf is going to

801
00:37:26,599 --> 00:37:29,239
play different than Texas turf and this it's gonna be

802
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,960
a little bit faster, it's not going to be a stick.

803
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,360
It doesn't have a stick of a pad. Every turf

804
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,239
is a little bit different. And by the way, turf

805
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,159
is bush league in baseball. What do we do and

806
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,639
I mean certainly in places where you can grow grass and.

807
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,079
Speaker 2: All got money? Right, come on now, Texas, Oklahoma. You

808
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:44,000
always talking about all that of oil money. Make it

809
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:48,400
happen but of course he's got it all covered like well.

810
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: That was one of the interesting quirks of the Jaden

811
00:37:51,079 --> 00:37:54,400
Daniels VR storyline that I found to be a bit

812
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,079
intriguing is that he talked about one of the advantages

813
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:01,800
of it was they would to have the opponent stadium

814
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,119
in the virtue and they weren't just on some sort

815
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:06,679
of like anti pragfield, so you could see, Okay, here's

816
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,079
where the play clock is, so here's where this is.

817
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:12,480
So like he already knew the layout where to look

818
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,639
for his landmarks, uh when he would enter, which is

819
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:18,599
pretty cool. Shout out coach che Johnson. All right, when

820
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:20,719
we get back, let's go ahead and wrap up our

821
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:26,440
two of OTB off the bench. Oh, we just scored

822
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,239
a touchdown, and guess what I'm going for? Dose with

823
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,920
dose sekis where he feels like you score a touchdown

824
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,039

835
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: Drop that line.

836
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: Inside and you profit do. Seky's the best, and it's

837
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,519
the best in any situation.

838
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 6: Like you, Bob said, if you're popping one open tonight

839
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,360
to watch a little baseball, Hell yeah, over the weekend

840
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,519
if you want to watch some hoops. I mean you

841
00:39:17,559 --> 00:39:19,679
have got it all softball right in front of you.

842
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,519
There's no better one to sit out on the back

843
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:23,119
porch and watch a little sports.

844
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: In do sekis Welcome back to off the bench where

845
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,320
the takes are hot and the sports talk is questionable.

846
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 2: Uh, what's going on, y'all?

847
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 3: Welcome back man Sacramento States implying to become an FBS independent.

848
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,719
Now we've actually talked Sex State on this h on

849
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,239
this program before because the only reason why they're relevant

850
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,840
is they have seen opportunity in the nil age and

851
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,800
they have extreme amounts of money. I gotta dig it

852
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,480
through my notes because it was a couple of months ago.

853
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:04,119
Last time we mentioned them. I can't remember why they

854
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:08,039
have so much money, Jake, but but they do. But

855
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:09,639
they do, and they've got a ton of people committed

856
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:11,199
to it, and they want to start running with the

857
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:14,280
big dogs. And so their path to doing so, they believe,

858
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,760
is to go independent, schedule up, and then eventually, uh,

859
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:23,800
play somebody tough to Eventually I get invited to a

860
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960
conference right after after you kind of go and and

861
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,679
and and prove yourself. They're gonna play in the Big

862
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:30,360
Sky for twenty twenty five?

863
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:34,599
Speaker 2: Is that still the SCS?

864
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: What's crazy about this is though the investment comes kind

865
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,880
of it's a little bit of cart before the horse situation.

866
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,719
I mean, they were three and nine last year, one

867
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,800
and seven in the Big Sky, tied for last year.

868
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,760
They're saying effort, We're gonna spend and we're gonna win eventually.

869
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,119
Speaker 2: They're good. When when Troy Taylor was there, yeah that's true.

870
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,639
He needs Yeah he does.

871
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 6: But their athletic department has a surplus and I don't

872
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,599
remember what it was either they I guess they've got

873
00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:03,559
some really good alumni.

874
00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: You know who their basketball coaches? They just hired him, No,

875
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,519
Mike Bibbie.

876
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, Yeah, that's right. He was

877
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,199
on Uh he was on with Rome the other day.

878
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,519
Was he talking about the new hire?

879
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

880
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: So it looks like sex State has raised over thirty

881
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,400
five million dollars closing in on fifty million in their

882
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,199
nil group. H the sack twelve. I guess they're trying

883
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,440
to grow pack. So for all Taylor, you put this

884
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,119
in here. So what's so interesting about.

885
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 2: It to you?

886
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 4: No, just like when a team tries to jump up

887
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,840
in competition, I mean we've seen it a lot recently, right,

888
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,199
I mean there's a lot of teams that have that

889
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,440
have done it and have had a little bit of success.

890
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:45,400
I mean, app State was dominated at the lower level,

891
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,800
they jumped up, and I mean there's still a really

892
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,400
good program. I'll be interested to see what Sacramento State does.

893
00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:53,800
They've been a good basketball program for quite a while now.

894
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
I mean they've they've they've had some runs on that level.

895
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,559
Speaker 6: It'll be interested to see jame U's done it in

896
00:41:58,639 --> 00:42:02,039
Coastal Carolina. Yeah, there's been a lot certainly, really a

897
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:03,960
lot of it's been on the East coast. There hasn't

898
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,360
been a ton out west, and so this will kind

899
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,000
of be. I can't even think, I mean of one

900
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,880
out west that's done it in the last twenty something years. No,

901
00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:16,039
like kind of those that Carolina area certainly has had

902
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:16,760
a bunch.

903
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Liberty did it.

904
00:42:18,679 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 4: I mean I mentioned app State, Like, yeah, I don't

905
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,760
think anybody else West.

906
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, all those right there on that coast for sure.

907
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,079
Speaker 6: But I know Eastern Washington's had some runs and they

908
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,639
kind of toyed with maybe going to the FBS level.

909
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,239
But you can't have Red Turff and being the FBS,

910
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,239
You've already got Boise and Coastal go.

911
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,599
Speaker 3: To Boudro's Electrical die so I am a fan of

912
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:41,000
Teal Nation. I'm also a fan of Boudro's Electrical, your

913
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,800
premier generak home generator dealer here in Louisiana. Boudro has

914
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,800
been family owned and operated to nineteen eighty two guys

915
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,440
over forty years in the game. And well, how you

916
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,719
last for four decades is because you treat your customers

917
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,280
right way.

918
00:42:57,559 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

919
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 3: Everybody when you work with Budro's, everybody is treated like

920
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,039
a VIP. They do everything they can to make sure

921
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:08,480
your system is good to go when you need it.

922
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,559
Because otherwise, like what's the point of generating, right, that's

923
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:12,519
the entire point. You need to keep the lights on

924
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,800
when disaster strikes, you have that peace of mind. Bujos

925
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,719
can provide that for you. Twenty four to seven monitoring,

926
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,440
going the extra model to make sure that your system

927
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,480
is good to go, like we talked about. Also, no

928
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:24,800
go can be a bit expensive investment. We get some

929
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,119
great financing options available as those one fifty nine a months.

930
00:43:28,119 --> 00:43:30,800
So you want to protect your family, keep the lights

931
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,480
on during storm season during the year. Look, the key

932
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,400
is Boudro's. Go to Boudro's Electrical and uh yeah, protect

933
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,000
your home today. So we want to talk about coming

934
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:42,960
up next hour. We got big deal with Nobigol. Then

935
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,599
we got munchies. But Ross Jackson wrote about this and

936
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:48,559
I could agree more. And it is the what these

937
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:53,079
Saints need to avoid in the draft, and it involves

938
00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:57,159
a couple of very talented pass rushers. Then maybe don't

939
00:43:57,159 --> 00:44:02,360
have the most production. And now granted there's again we'll

940
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,199
get into this, but there's guys like Daniel Hunter out

941
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:08,960
there that would maybe uh be it caused you to

942
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,599
to say to take a shot, But I just don't

943
00:44:11,639 --> 00:44:13,559
know where the Saints are at right now that they

944
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:15,199
can afford to, so.

945
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 2: We'll get into that. We got big dealer, no big

946
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:17,599
deal coming up next.

947
00:44:17,639 --> 00:44:19,159

exactly how the sunlight interacts with him and Dave geting

point during the day and what can best be done

960
00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:03,239
to make it better. Maybe it's if you builds because
