Speaker 1 (00:00):
I mentioned earlier in the program that we would update
you whenever there's games going on. We aimed to please
a big turnaround in Wrigular Field. Today Mariners beat the
Cups nine to four. Chicago scored three in the first
and they were up in the ball game three to one,
and it was still five to two Chicago before the
Mariners scored two and the six two and the seven
(00:20):
three in the ninth.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
They ended up winning it. Nine to four. Was the
final in that one. All right, that's Major League baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Of course, college baseball has now reached its final games
of the year and it's the best two out of
three series for the National Championship. This setup, this format
for NCAA baseball was put in play in nineteen ninety
(00:50):
nine with the Super Regional format when they when they
expanded the field from forty eight teams to sixty four
teams and went away from just the eight sixteen regionals
to sixteen four team regionals, followed by the eight Super
(01:10):
Regionals and then the College World Series in Oma. So
now it's down to the two seeds remaining. The sixth
seed LSU the highest remaining seed in the thirteen seed
Coastal Carolina here to talk about the College World Series
once again. Our college baseball analysts are good friend, Ty
Harrington New Joints. You remember when that format went to
(01:32):
the super regional concept in ninety nine and then you
were on board in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
What'd you think of it at the time.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Since you played and were an assistant coach in the format,
the old format of the sixteen regional before they went
to the superregional alignment.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, I thought it was interesting because we had been,
as you mentioned, we'd been under the.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Old rules of old rules format, and and so I
thought it was I thought it game some other teams
a chance, you know, because you're trimming it down to
you know, smaller regionals and then it's two out of three,
which is what you're accustomed to playing on a weekend series,
(02:16):
whether it's a conference series or something like that. And
so I think everybody you know like it, likes the format.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I still do. I think it gives everybody a chance.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You you don't have to run through those sixteen regionals
on the pitching side of it, and I felt like
that was always, you know, an opportunity for some teams
not to have so much pitching depth to it, and so.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I liked it.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I think everybody's youth, you know, most people that are
probably listening to your show. I mean, you've got to
dig back into your memory to remember those days and
to what it was like. And you know, most people
look at it and remember it as what the you know,
how it's set up in the format is today.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I want to ask your opinion on this, and I'm
going to tell you up front for the record, my
answer is I'm not in favor of this.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But there are people who are saying that they think
because of the way the postseason has played out, where
LSU and Arkansas, which you and I a week ago
felt were probably the two best teams in the field,
but they were going to have to play each other
right out of the gate, and they did, and then
they played again and had an absolutely just mind boggling
(03:31):
ending to it. And we'll get to all of that
in a little bit, But there are people out there
saying that the field should recede when you get to Omaha.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I don't know. I mean, that's a oh man.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Now, So you're so launch, you have a selection of
teams and they are seated, and so they have a
lot of you have a committee already involved and asking
a human element to come back in to play again.
(04:05):
I don't know. I'm gonna see you on that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I'm not a huge fan.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Look, I don't. I don't have one hundred other things
to tell you to back it up.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I know you research.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Everything you can more, you know, mindset behind it, But
I don't because I tell you, it's just you know twice
and so I think you set it out, you lay
it out, and if the committee has done their job,
everybody's good, then that's the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Let's go, let's go to town report. We've gone.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, listen, uh Louisville, uh you know, ends up winning
that Nashville Regional. They and where were? Vanderbilt was the
number one of our all seed. Uh UTSA wins the regional,
Austin the number two seed. Now, uh UTSA did not
make it out of Los Angeles and their season ended
that but Pat Hallmark had a fabulous here but uh,
(04:54):
but Louisville was able to earn its way to the
College World Series. There are those who believe that you
should even resee the field after the region around that
that would make that could make for some absolute travel
nightmares for schools to try to get teams to some
of the other when you knew that, hey, you might
get to host that. UCLA knew that once Texas was out,
they were going to get to host a super regional.
(05:14):
So I'm with you on that. I don't, I don't.
I'm not in favor of that. I think if you
play your way through it, you earn where you are,
you shouldn't have to go. And oh, by the way,
you knocked off the number one overall seed Vanderbilt. Now
you got to knock off the number three overall seed Arkansas.
I don't see that so anyway, so much for that.
When we last visited a week ago, we talked about
(05:36):
the field, So I want to kind of run through
this in a little bit of review. First of all,
the first two teams to get knocked out were Arizona
and Murray State. I think most everybody thought that Murray
State's great great Cinderella run. They had a fabulous year,
much like UTSA did, but it was probably going to
come up short of being in the National Championship or
(05:57):
playing for it or whatever, And it did. Arizona kind
of looked was kind of viewed on as being a
rising dark horse. They had gone into Chapel Hill and
won a decision final game against North Carolina. Did anything
surprised about either of the first two teams that got
knocked out?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
No, Look, I thought Arizona overachieved. I saw him early
in the year, and I thought, you know, Chip Hill
and his staff and trip cops did a great job
of getting their team to where they were having to
go on the road and beat North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I thought North Carolina was really.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Good current idea that I saw him multiple times, and
they had the stats to back it up and wins
to back it up.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
But I thought Arizona overachieved to.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Get beyond that quite frankly, and they did.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
And but so, no, I wasn't surprised.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I mean, I think that's still the order of what
If I was somebody who's gonna ask me, Howard, who
are going to be the first to unfortunately go out,
it would be again both having.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Tremendous seasons to get to Omar Halls. Unbelievable. But yeah,
I thought that was the way it was going to
play out.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The next teams to get knocked out were Oregon State
and UCLA. UCLA had not dropped a game at all,
even through their first game in Omaham when they beat
Murray State and then they went to and out after that.
And Oregon State of course had the heartbreak of what
happened against Louisville after they've beaten them once in that
other game and they rallied back the tie, but had
(07:19):
runners at second and third when nobody out couldn't get
the go ahead run home and then will wind up falling.
How about your thoughts on that those two teams? UCLA
which was kind of looked at as being dangerous, but
they weren't as highly regarded going in. They were the
number fifteen overall seed going in. How about your thoughts
on Oregon State and UCLA going out next?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, I thought u CLA was an interesting team. John Savage,
who's an unbelievable coach. Right, you've been around his teams
before and you understand his how good a coach he
is and how good the program is. I thought it
was a typical John savagem without having that one age
power arm that they didn't normally have.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
You know you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Lose to you're not gonna beat any kind of thing,
which is what he's used to when they won a
national title. And then he always has a back end
guy that was special, whether it was sick inside arm
or whether it was slighter and you know, fastball type.
And I just wasn't surprising to me. I didn't get
to see them as much either this year. I was
(08:24):
going based on who they beat more than I've seen
and who I've seen them beat. But they are a
great example of if you played great.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Detats and you throw the ball in the.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Strike drown and then you're able to lose runners ninety feet,
which is what they like to do, and the type
of offense they like to play, they.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
You could succeed, and they did that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
We're here stayed. On the other hand, I thought was
a really power oriented change and power arms, but what
like you see in the SEC power arms and power backs,
and you know, I thought that they for Vanna to
have been so tested thirty seven times away from their
ballport to play, I thought could come in to play.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
For them and I would would not have been.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Surprised, and I don't think he would have been. I would
not have been surprised that the head they made it
to the FOTTO.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Louisville.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Damn McDonald's an outstanding coach, but he about squeezed everything
he could out of that team to get him to
the final four, didn't he?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
He did?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
They you know what what they did? So their number
one guy was really good, really talented.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
And you know there's harder to me.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You're even gonna get him into there twice And the
bottom line was they didn't have enough depth of up
on the back end out of the bull pass, but
squins in every ounce of it. They absolutely did, and
their offense really got going. They lost more. I mean
you go back and there's swings out there stats the
last month, how many flush nineties they had a little
(09:58):
stolen bases and off the free base and being able
to get in a scoring position an opportunistic and how
they were able to score their pitch. I think Carrier
down you know the last look of the scenes along
with their best number one guys.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
But yeah, he's just a great way.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But every every pitch, every pitch, every moment you can
get out of his scene this year.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Uh, which brings us to the last three and I'm
gonna and I'm gonna keep it on the two three
sixty seven side of the bracket because it has caused
the most conversation, and that's l s U and Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I want the record to show because I know how
you feel about this, because you were a player and
a coach and as a broadcaster, I share a lot
of these same feelings.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You you never wish for.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And tragedy is a strong word, but I mean the
tragedy of baseball to happen the way it did to Arkansas.
I will I will say that up front, and and
I don't have a dog in the hunt on this thing,
on on either Arkansas or LSU. Just you feel bad
for the kids involved. I was in Fayetteville and I
saw the Heavalloy play top top level baseball, and I
(11:18):
completely agreed that he should have been the SEC.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And he was uh uh and and and then uh
davel on the left fielder he slipped. It happens, and
so I felt really bad for him. But let let
me let me go back to I guess the first
thing we should talk about in that momentous bottom of
the ninth inning for LSU Robinett that they had the
(11:41):
communication thing on the play at first, and it winds
up getting and I've heard you if I've heard you
say it once time, I've heard you say them thousand times.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Communication on the field.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Even for high level teams like a Dave Van Horn
coach team, sometimes it can escape you in the moment.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
So he's done.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
So let's start with yeah, that was the beginning of
that inning and show what people I know. You know
this what people don't always understand about defense. They don't
always understand the value of defense until they understand it,
until they see it right. They take it for granted,
and when you get into moments like the last inning
(12:22):
for Arkansas, by the way, LSU had done the exact
same thing the inning before.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
They didn't. They didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
They didn't come up with two plays that they could
have and it looked like it was going to fall
on them.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
But the value of defense is just so.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Incredibly important and the game can get really fast.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
So to me, two things happen.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Robinet was aggressive, I'm gonna go get.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
This well the moment he did. That's people don't always
know this.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
If you're not around the game a lot, there's an
infield communication as the same as a why ball communication
in the outfield, you'll hear infielders holler baw ball ball
by my mind saying things they know the distance that
they can go.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Nowadays, with the shift, it becomes.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Incredibly important that you understand that communication and where your
whereabouts are and where you're positioning station to be able
to make those plays.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
He got over aggressive.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
The second piece of that was after he after it.
We made it unfortunate mistaken. It's a tough play. What
I'm about to say, really tough play. He actually become
an NFL quarterback.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
And throw the ball at the bag. You don't throw
it at the picture.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You throw it at the bag, and you do it
at the picture and you don't do that. That was
a second piece. It was a I think would have
been an easier place. Again that moment, I think King
was trying to I gotta go get this.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I got to make this play for our team.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Next one gets a little bit more challenging when you
look what he did and shortstop did I think he
personally and I'm guessing now, look, I have no idea
what good is that.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
This is a part of the.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Game that really gets sped up in big moments, right,
and it becomes more recognizable camp by the way, they
wouldn't been recognizing if they were playing Arkansas on and
Little Rock on the Tuesday ninth, but it did an
actual TV with millions of people watching. The runner went
in front of him, the ball was hitting one step
or two of his right, took a little momentum going
that way, but it was not pressle. He didn't get
(14:23):
the ball underneathing. It didn't stand him down or anything
like that. So he had options at that point. That
runner going from second or third meant nothing. So what
he meant what I mean by nothing? It wasn't gonna
change the game. We weren't gonna tie the game. But
so he saw it go in front of him, like,
I'm gonna just get him out and that purchase one
more how to wait for him? Right, I'm assuming that's
(14:43):
what it. The game just gets so fast late.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
In the game and the value of.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Defense comes into play and becomes exposed. And then unfortunately
you use the word right, I mean it's heartbreak. Actually
heartbreak if you're an Arkansas razorback Ben I'll watched day
Van Horn after the game and a postgame comments and
I've known Dave forever.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
I mean, he I broke in this industry. He's a
little bit of me, and he's a tremendous coach.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
But the value of defense in playing at a high
level and the biggest moments are so important, and everybody
throws it around like pitching a defense. They throw it around,
but then all of a sudden, it, you know, it
really became explished for them.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And you know this because you've been You've been mostly.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Attached to Texas teams, You've been mostly attached to different
teams in your life.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
You a Dodger fan, all these things. When you're mostly attached.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
To something, the heartbreak that goes with it is just admitted.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
This game can be cruel, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It really can be cruel, and if you don't take
care of the baseball, it will definitely become even more
cruel than you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And that's why I prefaced all of this by saying
I had no dog in the hunt, and I felt
for of Arkansas. Now having said that, you correct me
if I'm wrong, Tie, Unless the second basement drops the ball,
that's a six four to three double play. Eight days
a week, isn't it? And the game's over.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah, the game's over.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
You're assuming that it's going to be a great transition.
He's going to make a great feet second basement is
going to make an accurate.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Throw although it's Hu's second base at first baseman.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You know that they returned the favor of the eating before, right,
But yes, they've done that. They've done that so many times,
so many times.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, okay, So now we have this National championship matchup.
You have talked at linked You and I were talking
about Coastal Carolina back in March and you said, watch out,
this team does a lot of thing and I thought
it was a great and I'm really curious to get
your thoughts on this. I thought it was a great
comp a great comparison. Kyle Peterson was asked after that
game the other night when he was almost Scott Van
(16:44):
Pelt on Sports Centers.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Kyle Vanpelt asked.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Kp do you what is there any team or program?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
What what does this team have?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
This Coastal team had and he said it reminds me
of the Augie Garrito teams at El State Fullerton and
at Texas that they may not have spectacular guys. But
they do everything very solidly and well. They pitch well,
they play defense well, they hit enough, they steal bases enough,
things like that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, Like you know, you and I have this conversation early,
as you said in March, about the.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Pitching side of what they do. They've got an answer.
They've got an answer from a starting, you know, pitching perspective.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They've got an answer of mid relief, and they've got
an answer on the back end, and in multiple ways.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
They don't just do it from right and left side.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I mean, they've got both.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Answers to that.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
They're not even starting their All American on first games.
They're starting are All American historically.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
In the second game. Now they may change it this league,
but they've done that all year long. You know where
he was their.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Second guy out on Saturdays and they played really, really
good defense. But what they're capable of doing is playing
defense at a high level at huge moments, like I've
seen them turn double play. They did it already in
the College World Series. They closed out a game with
a double play. They've been able to come up with
(18:13):
great plays in the outfield twice this series already balls
that if they get by the out there their doubles
RBIs the above maybe changes their fortune. But they're they're
constantly able to come up with the defensive.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Side of the game. And I tell you why. And
this is interesting yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
If you if people love playing a drinking game, whether
it's water or whatever, they're drinking choice, don't play first
strike drinks with them in a count.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
You're gonna you're gonna have a bad day, You're gonna
have a long.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Night or or bad morning, one or the other. Because
then I mean it is strike one.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm in punch them.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
And it's with all pitches.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Now, I say what else they do.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's just interesting their free based ratio, it's through the roof.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
To me, the game comes down to you.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
This series possibly can come down to you whether LSU
cannot give up the free base, because if you give
them a free base, they do something with it.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
They've been opportunistic.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They'll bunt, they'll drive, they'll hit, run, they'll hit, they'll
hit a double. Not a ton of power, sixty plus homers.
Nothing crazy at lane. Typical coastal teams that are back
playing in balls and hit them out of the park.
But they're opportunistic and their pre bates they've been hit
one hundred and seventy eight and eighty times I think
by now, and so their free base is what to
(19:31):
me is going to be a driving or could be
a driving force in this series between them and the LSU.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, okay, all right, well, and I was was curious
that you thought about that. And do you feel then
solidly enough about what Coastal can do defensively against Jared
Jones and against the rest of that LSU power offensively?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah, but again, if you go if you look at LSU,
you you remember we had this conversation before LSU came
to town into Austin, is that Jay Johnson is a
West Coast guy. He kind of quizy. But halfway through
this season I said, hey, I had him in early
in the year, in February, and then again in Austin.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I was like, hey, you change your offense. You're hitting
and running.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
They double They've already tried to double steel already in
the Colors World Series.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
They fought it with a runner on second and not first,
second runner on second.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And so his offense right now, in his mind is
built that It doesn't necessarily just have to be about
power that they're able to move people ninety feet.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
They're steel, they'll hitt and.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Run, they'll do a lot of different things.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Now trying to stand away from John Jones in the
middle part of that lineup and.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
His power and opposite bill power.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah, but I will tain this.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I don't be surprised if Coastal takes the fastball and
they start trying to put the ball underneath you know this,
over the next couple of games, trying to because he's got.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
The majority of their right handed pitchers crink for two seamers.
They're not four seen guys.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They're gonna be two seen guys trying to run the
ball underneath him and trap his barrel.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
But the bottom line.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Is, I think LSU because you you know this, because
you've been to Omaha as many times as anybody now
with a new ballpark that's a big ballpark, and if
the wind decides, and I don't know how I've looked
and see what it is, if the wind decides to
blow in that ninety plus people becomes hues in these
games and trying to figure out how to score runs
with bass hits and singles and doubles as opposed to
(21:34):
trying to hit with power and homers.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, it does. He gets real big when the wind
is blown back at hey.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And by the way, I think I know you well
enough to do this, and I, like I said, I've
got a lot of respect as you do. And I
know you know Dame Van Horn a long time. But
you're not pitching to Jared Jones. That's the suation in
the ninth Are you with a with a base open?
You're not bids into him, are you?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Now? You know what they were trying to do.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
If you go back, this is what I think they
were trying to do. Obviously, can't say you one hundred
percent what I think they were trying to do. And
if you go back and watch, you at that they
were trying to allow him to get himself out and
keep the ball off the plate.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Watch the catcher.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
If you go back and watch the replay, he right
leged outside the plate area and they were trying and
the ball that he hit was off the plate probaly
six inches.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
But he likes hitting the ball the other way right,
And I don't know, I'm not advantage.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You know, the second baser didn't do it too early.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
But again.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
It was a discussion point that I think that they
thought if they got headed I'm sorry, behind in the count,
they would blink and move on. But they were going
to try to see if he would he roball himself,
meaning he would speed it up and try to hook
a ball and try to hit a ground and possibly
hit a blowball to left abd to ground bolted short
And but it's definitely is a discussable you know at
(23:06):
any time, or debatable is the right word for it
as to whether you do or you don't one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
So what you're saying is is Jared Jones did to
Arkansas what Resappwood did for Texas sftball against Nigerie Canada
on the three to zero pitch.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, but a.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Different way of doing it right in baseball. You know,
in baseball, you watch the catcher, the coaches and going, hey,
we're gonna set up off the plate.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Don't let them all run back to the plate.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
We want to see you get himself out, but we
are not going strikes to him.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
And David just said.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
We're gonna throw this like and there was a slider
of probably six inches off the play. It looked like
to me slide our six inches off the plate to
see if he would get himself out. He hung on
that bay enough he capped it.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
But he's so strong.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's the part. That's the part that's standished, is what happened.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
He's strong enough that he can hit the ball off
the cap and still get it.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Over the infielders. Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Great, Stuffy, I appreciate it. Listen, enjoy the championship series
and will chat Agan real soon. I appreciate you taking
the time today.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Always, And I'll tell you what if we if it
gets to that third game on Monday, coming back, Yeah,
let me know, and I'll gladly come back on and
talk about what's happened on the first two games, because man,
he gets the game seven or game three in college baseball,
I just you know this.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And how much I love college baseball and how much you've.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Done for college baseball and the popularity of it. But
I mean, it has drawn and it is so much
fun and so exciting right now.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Nothing would be I think, would.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Be any you know better at this point than a
Game three on that night to see how many people
are watching college baseball.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Let's do this.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Let's plan on it Monday at the same time, even
if it's over. It'll be recap of the entire season
or to be a preview of the final game Monday
at the same time. Does that work sound like a
planned Thanks? Ty, appreciate it all right, thank you. That's
Ty Harrington and so we'll talk to it on Monday.
It'll be a cap of the first two games and
either a preview of the championship final game of the
(25:03):
year
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Or just a recap of the season as a whole.
I mentioned earlier in the program that we would update
you whenever there's games going on. We aimed to please
a big turnaround in Wrigular Field. Today Mariners beat the
Cups nine to four. Chicago scored three in the first
and they were up in the ball game three to one,
and it was still five to two Chicago before the
Mariners scored two and the six two and the seven
(00:20):
three in the ninth.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
They ended up winning it. Nine to four. Was the
final in that one. All right, that's Major League baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Of course, college baseball has now reached its final games
of the year and it's the best two out of
three series for the National Championship. This setup, this format
for NCAA baseball was put in play in nineteen ninety
(00:50):
nine with the Super Regional format when they when they
expanded the field from forty eight teams to sixty four
teams and went away from just the eight sixteen regionals
to sixteen four team regionals, followed by the eight Super
(01:10):
Regionals and then the College World Series in Oma. So
now it's down to the two seeds remaining. The sixth
seed LSU the highest remaining seed in the thirteen seed
Coastal Carolina here to talk about the College World Series
once again. Our college baseball analysts are good friend, Ty
Harrington New Joints. You remember when that format went to
(01:32):
the super regional concept in ninety nine and then you
were on board in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
What'd you think of it at the time.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Since you played and were an assistant coach in the format,
the old format of the sixteen regional before they went
to the superregional alignment.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, I thought it was interesting because we had been,
as you mentioned, we'd been under the.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Old rules of old rules format, and and so I
thought it was I thought it game some other teams
a chance, you know, because you're trimming it down to
you know, smaller regionals and then it's two out of three,
which is what you're accustomed to playing on a weekend series,
(02:16):
whether it's a conference series or something like that. And
so I think everybody you know like it, likes the format.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I still do. I think it gives everybody a chance.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You you don't have to run through those sixteen regionals
on the pitching side of it, and I felt like
that was always, you know, an opportunity for some teams
not to have so much pitching depth to it, and so.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I liked it.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I think everybody's youth, you know, most people that are
probably listening to your show. I mean, you've got to
dig back into your memory to remember those days and
to what it was like. And you know, most people
look at it and remember it as what the you know,
how it's set up in the format is today.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I want to ask your opinion on this, and I'm
going to tell you up front for the record, my
answer is I'm not in favor of this.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But there are people who are saying that they think
because of the way the postseason has played out, where
LSU and Arkansas, which you and I a week ago
felt were probably the two best teams in the field,
but they were going to have to play each other
right out of the gate, and they did, and then
they played again and had an absolutely just mind boggling
(03:31):
ending to it. And we'll get to all of that
in a little bit, But there are people out there
saying that the field should recede when you get to Omaha.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I don't know. I mean, that's a oh man.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Now, So you're so launch, you have a selection of
teams and they are seated, and so they have a
lot of you have a committee already involved and asking
a human element to come back in to play again.
(04:05):
I don't know. I'm gonna see you on that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I'm not a huge fan.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Look, I don't. I don't have one hundred other things
to tell you to back it up.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I know you research.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Everything you can more, you know, mindset behind it, But
I don't because I tell you, it's just you know twice
and so I think you set it out, you lay
it out, and if the committee has done their job,
everybody's good, then that's the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Let's go, let's go to town report. We've gone.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, listen, uh Louisville, uh you know, ends up winning
that Nashville Regional. They and where were? Vanderbilt was the
number one of our all seed. Uh UTSA wins the regional,
Austin the number two seed. Now, uh UTSA did not
make it out of Los Angeles and their season ended
that but Pat Hallmark had a fabulous here but uh,
(04:54):
but Louisville was able to earn its way to the
College World Series. There are those who believe that you
should even resee the field after the region around that
that would make that could make for some absolute travel
nightmares for schools to try to get teams to some
of the other when you knew that, hey, you might
get to host that. UCLA knew that once Texas was out,
they were going to get to host a super regional.
(05:14):
So I'm with you on that. I don't, I don't.
I'm not in favor of that. I think if you
play your way through it, you earn where you are,
you shouldn't have to go. And oh, by the way,
you knocked off the number one overall seed Vanderbilt. Now
you got to knock off the number three overall seed Arkansas.
I don't see that so anyway, so much for that.
When we last visited a week ago, we talked about
(05:36):
the field, So I want to kind of run through
this in a little bit of review. First of all,
the first two teams to get knocked out were Arizona
and Murray State. I think most everybody thought that Murray
State's great great Cinderella run. They had a fabulous year,
much like UTSA did, but it was probably going to
come up short of being in the National Championship or
(05:57):
playing for it or whatever, And it did. Arizona kind
of looked was kind of viewed on as being a
rising dark horse. They had gone into Chapel Hill and
won a decision final game against North Carolina. Did anything
surprised about either of the first two teams that got
knocked out?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
No, Look, I thought Arizona overachieved. I saw him early
in the year, and I thought, you know, Chip Hill
and his staff and trip cops did a great job
of getting their team to where they were having to
go on the road and beat North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I thought North Carolina was really.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Good current idea that I saw him multiple times, and
they had the stats to back it up and wins
to back it up.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
But I thought Arizona overachieved to.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Get beyond that quite frankly, and they did.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
And but so, no, I wasn't surprised.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I mean, I think that's still the order of what
If I was somebody who's gonna ask me, Howard, who
are going to be the first to unfortunately go out,
it would be again both having.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Tremendous seasons to get to Omar Halls. Unbelievable. But yeah,
I thought that was the way it was going to
play out.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The next teams to get knocked out were Oregon State
and UCLA. UCLA had not dropped a game at all,
even through their first game in Omaham when they beat
Murray State and then they went to and out after that.
And Oregon State of course had the heartbreak of what
happened against Louisville after they've beaten them once in that
other game and they rallied back the tie, but had
(07:19):
runners at second and third when nobody out couldn't get
the go ahead run home and then will wind up falling.
How about your thoughts on that those two teams? UCLA
which was kind of looked at as being dangerous, but
they weren't as highly regarded going in. They were the
number fifteen overall seed going in. How about your thoughts
on Oregon State and UCLA going out next?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, I thought u CLA was an interesting team. John Savage,
who's an unbelievable coach. Right, you've been around his teams
before and you understand his how good a coach he
is and how good the program is. I thought it
was a typical John savagem without having that one age
power arm that they didn't normally have.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
You know you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Lose to you're not gonna beat any kind of thing,
which is what he's used to when they won a
national title. And then he always has a back end
guy that was special, whether it was sick inside arm
or whether it was slighter and you know, fastball type.
And I just wasn't surprising to me. I didn't get
to see them as much either this year. I was
(08:24):
going based on who they beat more than I've seen
and who I've seen them beat. But they are a
great example of if you played great.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Detats and you throw the ball in the.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Strike drown and then you're able to lose runners ninety feet,
which is what they like to do, and the type
of offense they like to play, they.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
You could succeed, and they did that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
We're here stayed. On the other hand, I thought was
a really power oriented change and power arms, but what
like you see in the SEC power arms and power backs,
and you know, I thought that they for Vanna to
have been so tested thirty seven times away from their
ballport to play, I thought could come in to play.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
For them and I would would not have been.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Surprised, and I don't think he would have been. I would
not have been surprised that the head they made it
to the FOTTO.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Louisville.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Damn McDonald's an outstanding coach, but he about squeezed everything
he could out of that team to get him to
the final four, didn't he?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
He did?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
They you know what what they did? So their number
one guy was really good, really talented.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
And you know there's harder to me.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You're even gonna get him into there twice And the
bottom line was they didn't have enough depth of up
on the back end out of the bull pass, but
squins in every ounce of it. They absolutely did, and
their offense really got going. They lost more. I mean
you go back and there's swings out there stats the
last month, how many flush nineties they had a little
(09:58):
stolen bases and off the free base and being able
to get in a scoring position an opportunistic and how
they were able to score their pitch. I think Carrier
down you know the last look of the scenes along
with their best number one guys.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
But yeah, he's just a great way.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But every every pitch, every pitch, every moment you can
get out of his scene this year.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Uh, which brings us to the last three and I'm
gonna and I'm gonna keep it on the two three
sixty seven side of the bracket because it has caused
the most conversation, and that's l s U and Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I want the record to show because I know how
you feel about this, because you were a player and
a coach and as a broadcaster, I share a lot
of these same feelings.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You you never wish for.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And tragedy is a strong word, but I mean the
tragedy of baseball to happen the way it did to Arkansas.
I will I will say that up front, and and
I don't have a dog in the hunt on this thing,
on on either Arkansas or LSU. Just you feel bad
for the kids involved. I was in Fayetteville and I
saw the Heavalloy play top top level baseball, and I
(11:18):
completely agreed that he should have been the SEC.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And he was uh uh and and and then uh
davel on the left fielder he slipped. It happens, and
so I felt really bad for him. But let let
me let me go back to I guess the first
thing we should talk about in that momentous bottom of
the ninth inning for LSU Robinett that they had the
(11:41):
communication thing on the play at first, and it winds
up getting and I've heard you if I've heard you
say it once time, I've heard you say them thousand times.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Communication on the field.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Even for high level teams like a Dave Van Horn
coach team, sometimes it can escape you in the moment.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
So he's done.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
So let's start with yeah, that was the beginning of
that inning and show what people I know. You know
this what people don't always understand about defense. They don't
always understand the value of defense until they understand it,
until they see it right. They take it for granted,
and when you get into moments like the last inning
(12:22):
for Arkansas, by the way, LSU had done the exact
same thing the inning before.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
They didn't. They didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
They didn't come up with two plays that they could
have and it looked like it was going to fall
on them.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
But the value of defense is just so.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Incredibly important and the game can get really fast.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
So to me, two things happen.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Robinet was aggressive, I'm gonna go get.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
This well the moment he did. That's people don't always
know this.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
If you're not around the game a lot, there's an
infield communication as the same as a why ball communication
in the outfield, you'll hear infielders holler baw ball ball
by my mind saying things they know the distance that
they can go.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Nowadays, with the shift, it becomes.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Incredibly important that you understand that communication and where your
whereabouts are and where you're positioning station to be able
to make those plays.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
He got over aggressive.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
The second piece of that was after he after it.
We made it unfortunate mistaken. It's a tough play. What
I'm about to say, really tough play. He actually become
an NFL quarterback.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
And throw the ball at the bag. You don't throw
it at the picture.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You throw it at the bag, and you do it
at the picture and you don't do that. That was
a second piece. It was a I think would have
been an easier place. Again that moment, I think King
was trying to I gotta go get this.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I got to make this play for our team.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Next one gets a little bit more challenging when you
look what he did and shortstop did I think he
personally and I'm guessing now, look, I have no idea
what good is that.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
This is a part of the.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Game that really gets sped up in big moments, right,
and it becomes more recognizable camp by the way, they
wouldn't been recognizing if they were playing Arkansas on and
Little Rock on the Tuesday ninth, but it did an
actual TV with millions of people watching. The runner went
in front of him, the ball was hitting one step
or two of his right, took a little momentum going
that way, but it was not pressle. He didn't get
(14:23):
the ball underneathing. It didn't stand him down or anything
like that. So he had options at that point. That
runner going from second or third meant nothing. So what
he meant what I mean by nothing? It wasn't gonna
change the game. We weren't gonna tie the game. But
so he saw it go in front of him, like,
I'm gonna just get him out and that purchase one
more how to wait for him? Right, I'm assuming that's
(14:43):
what it. The game just gets so fast late.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
In the game and the value of.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Defense comes into play and becomes exposed. And then unfortunately
you use the word right, I mean it's heartbreak. Actually
heartbreak if you're an Arkansas razorback Ben I'll watched day
Van Horn after the game and a postgame comments and
I've known Dave forever.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
I mean, he I broke in this industry. He's a
little bit of me, and he's a tremendous coach.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
But the value of defense in playing at a high
level and the biggest moments are so important, and everybody
throws it around like pitching a defense. They throw it around,
but then all of a sudden, it, you know, it
really became explished for them.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And you know this because you've been You've been mostly.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Attached to Texas teams, You've been mostly attached to different
teams in your life.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
You a Dodger fan, all these things. When you're mostly attached.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
To something, the heartbreak that goes with it is just admitted.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
This game can be cruel, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It really can be cruel, and if you don't take
care of the baseball, it will definitely become even more
cruel than you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And that's why I prefaced all of this by saying
I had no dog in the hunt, and I felt
for of Arkansas. Now having said that, you correct me
if I'm wrong, Tie, Unless the second basement drops the ball,
that's a six four to three double play. Eight days
a week, isn't it? And the game's over.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah, the game's over.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
You're assuming that it's going to be a great transition.
He's going to make a great feet second basement is
going to make an accurate.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Throw although it's Hu's second base at first baseman.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You know that they returned the favor of the eating before, right,
But yes, they've done that. They've done that so many times,
so many times.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, okay, So now we have this National championship matchup.
You have talked at linked You and I were talking
about Coastal Carolina back in March and you said, watch out,
this team does a lot of thing and I thought
it was a great and I'm really curious to get
your thoughts on this. I thought it was a great
comp a great comparison. Kyle Peterson was asked after that
game the other night when he was almost Scott Van
(16:44):
Pelt on Sports Centers.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Kyle Vanpelt asked.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Kp do you what is there any team or program?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
What what does this team have?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
This Coastal team had and he said it reminds me
of the Augie Garrito teams at El State Fullerton and
at Texas that they may not have spectacular guys. But
they do everything very solidly and well. They pitch well,
they play defense well, they hit enough, they steal bases enough,
things like that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, Like you know, you and I have this conversation early,
as you said in March, about the.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Pitching side of what they do. They've got an answer.
They've got an answer from a starting, you know, pitching perspective.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They've got an answer of mid relief, and they've got
an answer on the back end, and in multiple ways.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
They don't just do it from right and left side.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I mean, they've got both.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Answers to that.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
They're not even starting their All American on first games.
They're starting are All American historically.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
In the second game. Now they may change it this league,
but they've done that all year long. You know where
he was their.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Second guy out on Saturdays and they played really, really
good defense. But what they're capable of doing is playing
defense at a high level at huge moments, like I've
seen them turn double play. They did it already in
the College World Series. They closed out a game with
a double play. They've been able to come up with
(18:13):
great plays in the outfield twice this series already balls
that if they get by the out there their doubles
RBIs the above maybe changes their fortune. But they're they're
constantly able to come up with the defensive.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Side of the game. And I tell you why. And
this is interesting yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
If you if people love playing a drinking game, whether
it's water or whatever, they're drinking choice, don't play first
strike drinks with them in a count.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
You're gonna you're gonna have a bad day, You're gonna
have a long.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Night or or bad morning, one or the other. Because
then I mean it is strike one.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm in punch them.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
And it's with all pitches.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Now, I say what else they do.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's just interesting their free based ratio, it's through the roof.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
To me, the game comes down to you.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
This series possibly can come down to you whether LSU
cannot give up the free base, because if you give
them a free base, they do something with it.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
They've been opportunistic.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They'll bunt, they'll drive, they'll hit, run, they'll hit, they'll
hit a double. Not a ton of power, sixty plus homers.
Nothing crazy at lane. Typical coastal teams that are back
playing in balls and hit them out of the park.
But they're opportunistic and their pre bates they've been hit
one hundred and seventy eight and eighty times I think
by now, and so their free base is what to
(19:31):
me is going to be a driving or could be
a driving force in this series between them and the LSU.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, okay, all right, well, and I was was curious
that you thought about that. And do you feel then
solidly enough about what Coastal can do defensively against Jared
Jones and against the rest of that LSU power offensively?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah, but again, if you go if you look at LSU,
you you remember we had this conversation before LSU came
to town into Austin, is that Jay Johnson is a
West Coast guy. He kind of quizy. But halfway through
this season I said, hey, I had him in early
in the year, in February, and then again in Austin.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I was like, hey, you change your offense. You're hitting
and running.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
They double They've already tried to double steel already in
the Colors World Series.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
They fought it with a runner on second and not first,
second runner on second.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And so his offense right now, in his mind is
built that It doesn't necessarily just have to be about
power that they're able to move people ninety feet.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
They're steel, they'll hitt and.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Run, they'll do a lot of different things.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Now trying to stand away from John Jones in the
middle part of that lineup and.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
His power and opposite bill power.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah, but I will tain this.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I don't be surprised if Coastal takes the fastball and
they start trying to put the ball underneath you know this,
over the next couple of games, trying to because he's got.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
The majority of their right handed pitchers crink for two seamers.
They're not four seen guys.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They're gonna be two seen guys trying to run the
ball underneath him and trap his barrel.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
But the bottom line.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Is, I think LSU because you you know this, because
you've been to Omaha as many times as anybody now
with a new ballpark that's a big ballpark, and if
the wind decides, and I don't know how I've looked
and see what it is, if the wind decides to
blow in that ninety plus people becomes hues in these
games and trying to figure out how to score runs
with bass hits and singles and doubles as opposed to
(21:34):
trying to hit with power and homers.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, it does. He gets real big when the wind
is blown back at hey.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And by the way, I think I know you well
enough to do this, and I, like I said, I've
got a lot of respect as you do. And I
know you know Dame Van Horn a long time. But
you're not pitching to Jared Jones. That's the suation in
the ninth Are you with a with a base open?
You're not bids into him, are you?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Now? You know what they were trying to do.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
If you go back, this is what I think they
were trying to do. Obviously, can't say you one hundred
percent what I think they were trying to do. And
if you go back and watch, you at that they
were trying to allow him to get himself out and
keep the ball off the plate.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Watch the catcher.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
If you go back and watch the replay, he right
leged outside the plate area and they were trying and
the ball that he hit was off the plate probaly
six inches.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
But he likes hitting the ball the other way right,
And I don't know, I'm not advantage.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You know, the second baser didn't do it too early.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
But again.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
It was a discussion point that I think that they
thought if they got headed I'm sorry, behind in the count,
they would blink and move on. But they were going
to try to see if he would he roball himself,
meaning he would speed it up and try to hook
a ball and try to hit a ground and possibly
hit a blowball to left abd to ground bolted short
And but it's definitely is a discussable you know at
(23:06):
any time, or debatable is the right word for it
as to whether you do or you don't one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
So what you're saying is is Jared Jones did to
Arkansas what Resappwood did for Texas sftball against Nigerie Canada
on the three to zero pitch.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, but a.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Different way of doing it right in baseball. You know,
in baseball, you watch the catcher, the coaches and going, hey,
we're gonna set up off the plate.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Don't let them all run back to the plate.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
We want to see you get himself out, but we
are not going strikes to him.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
And David just said.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
We're gonna throw this like and there was a slider
of probably six inches off the play. It looked like
to me slide our six inches off the plate to
see if he would get himself out. He hung on
that bay enough he capped it.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
But he's so strong.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's the part. That's the part that's standished, is what happened.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
He's strong enough that he can hit the ball off
the cap and still get it.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Over the infielders. Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Great, Stuffy, I appreciate it. Listen, enjoy the championship series
and will chat Agan real soon. I appreciate you taking
the time today.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Always, And I'll tell you what if we if it
gets to that third game on Monday, coming back, Yeah,
let me know, and I'll gladly come back on and
talk about what's happened on the first two games, because man,
he gets the game seven or game three in college baseball,
I just you know this.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And how much I love college baseball and how much you've.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Done for college baseball and the popularity of it. But
I mean, it has drawn and it is so much
fun and so exciting right now.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Nothing would be I think, would.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Be any you know better at this point than a
Game three on that night to see how many people
are watching college baseball.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Let's do this.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Let's plan on it Monday at the same time, even
if it's over. It'll be recap of the entire season
or to be a preview of the final game Monday
at the same time. Does that work sound like a
planned Thanks? Ty, appreciate it all right, thank you. That's
Ty Harrington and so we'll talk to it on Monday.
