Room for error is much slimmer 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:09.320 in basketball. You lose one player and it changes 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.480 your entire team.

Justin Grossweiner. It's like the saying 00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:52.829 in Alaska, that you don't have to be faster than 00:00:52.829 --> 00:00:54.170 the bear, you just have to be faster than your 00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:57.789 friend.

And 00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:46.300 then my girlfriend got muscles and ended up getting 00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:48.979 food poisoning on Valentine's night. On Valentine's 00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:51.680 night? Yeah.

You 00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:31.150 would say yeah, I think it started off strong 00:03:32.509 --> 00:03:34.710 Okay Okay, okay. Well, you're all ready to go 00:03:34.710 --> 00:03:37.050 here today.

Have 00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:01.750 you ever heard of the mist? Have not okay the 00:04:01.750 --> 00:04:03.430 mist is a horror movie so for those listening 00:04:03.430 --> 00:04:05.729 out there if you don't like horror movies Do 00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:08.069 not watch this movie if you do like horror movies, 00:04:08.090 --> 00:04:11.409 and you don't like Endings that are not uplifting 00:04:11.409 --> 00:04:13.930 do not watch this movie. It is not an uplifting 00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:17.800 movie, but it is a very very Controversial ending 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.060 which my mom and I both really appreciate it. 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:22.620 I love our office worker Laura I recommended 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:25.240 the film to her and she watched it with her family. 00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:27.519 They really enjoyed it So I enjoyed watching 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.620 that with my mom played some basketball with 00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:32.879 my friend Connor watched the All -star weekend, 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.000 even though I think it was kind of weird time 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.480 with when everything was going on It was like 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.079 two o 'clock in the afternoon. I think when the 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.720 some of these events were going on So how much 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.300 of the all -star weekend did you actually watch? 00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:44.540 Yeah, so that kind of threw me off I was driving 00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:48.360 up to Portland so I left on saturday like saturday 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.560 afternoon i left at like 1 pm saturday to go 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.240 up to portland and i like i'm driving obviously 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.360 and um we stopped at a gas station i need some 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.339 gas and i look at my phone and so my group chats 00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:01.899 are kind of like going crazy and my friends are 00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:04.360 like the three point contest is on like this 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.839 is such a good event like knipple played well 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.500 damian lillard won the whole thing so that was 00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:12.579 a big thing for portland but yeah so all my friends 00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:15.540 are like oh my gosh like dame dame like Right 00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:18.100 Booker like wow like these two great guys and 00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.899 these these figures of the league are playing 00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:22.980 I'm like sitting there like this is at 2 p .m 00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:25.699 In the afternoon like what happened twin you 00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:27.720 sat down you ate dinner and you finished the 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.259 night watching all -star weekend events Yeah, 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:32.720 well, it certainly is a little different. I want 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.639 to get to this in the last segment So I don't 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.139 want to break down on the all -star weekend too 00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:38.259 much because I do think that there were some 00:05:38.259 --> 00:05:40.579 good things There were some things that I think 00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:43.040 as always like the all -star game is never perfect 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.160 But but certainly it was uh, it was weird to 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.860 have him on it at 2 p .m for sure but All right, 00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:52.439 let's get into some Oregon men's basketball. 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.620 That game was on Friday, but I still want to 00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:56.959 talk about it. Nate Biddle and Takai Simpkins 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.160 combined for 44 points in Oregon's 83 to 72 win 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.519 over Penn State. It snapped their 10 game winning 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.819 streak, which lasted about six weeks, which we 00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:08.379 are not used to with a Denna Altman led team. 00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:11.420 So now the Ducks have improved to nine and 16 00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:14.120 on the season two of 12, two and 12 in the Big 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.620 Ten. So they're still in third to last place. 00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:18.839 They now have a slight edge over Penn State. 00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:21.399 But Dedrick Lindsay also added 16 points off 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.399 the bench on four of eight shooting from downtown 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.980 as well. So he had a nice night. But actually, 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.019 before we get to this, let's get into the good, 00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:32.240 bad and ugly. How does that sound? Sounds good. 00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:37.899 You reminded me. or before the show you were 00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.399 talking about the Kai Simpkins who I think you 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.180 might have in your good bad and ugly so that's 00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:42.339 what reminded me so before we get into Oregon 00:06:42.339 --> 00:06:44.480 men's basketball I do want to talk about some 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.259 of the good and bad and ugly over what I will 00:06:46.259 --> 00:06:49.000 call the weekend yes yesterday was Monday I was 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.300 not working it is the weekend for me so my good 00:06:52.300 --> 00:06:55.819 over the weekend Angel Leia he was honored by 00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:58.720 perfect game as the freshman of the week and 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.139 he had a great great weekend in his first weekend 00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:05.220 as an Oregon Ducks baseball player he slashed 00:07:06.529 --> 00:07:09.870 538 on the day or on the week I should say with 00:07:09.870 --> 00:07:13.670 a 1677 OPS three extra base hits including he 00:07:13.670 --> 00:07:16.730 had two home runs in a game so multiple hits 00:07:16.730 --> 00:07:19.670 in the first two games so a really really nice 00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:22.250 start to his career for the freshman who by the 00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:24.930 way I sat with at the diamond or the first pitch 00:07:24.930 --> 00:07:27.509 dinner that was a couple weeks ago as they were 00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:29.250 kind of getting ready for Oregon baseball season 00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:33.819 and this guy he's a freshman absolutely jacked 00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:35.680 I'd actually didn't recognize that first so I 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.139 didn't know what position he played he looked 00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:39.879 like he was like a pitcher to me he's like 6 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.319 '3 but man he's 18 years old 18 19 years old 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.740 but he is absolutely like stocky like he this 00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:49.100 guy is he's gonna be something I think because 00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:52.000 he's built he's definitely mature and just getting 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.319 able to talk to him a little bit really really 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:55.939 nice guy seemed like he had a really good head 00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:58.790 on his shoulders He recognized that I was a Cub 00:07:58.790 --> 00:08:00.889 fan, and he was asking me about Kyle Tucker, 00:08:01.009 --> 00:08:03.389 what I felt about Kyle Tucker leaving, so I enjoyed 00:08:03.389 --> 00:08:05.389 having my conversation with him. But he had a 00:08:05.389 --> 00:08:08.089 great, great first weekend against George Mason, 00:08:08.629 --> 00:08:12.310 so good on Angelea, perfect game, freshman of 00:08:12.310 --> 00:08:15.379 the week, so. What is your good from the weekend 00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:18.600 dom? Um, i'm sticking with the ducks My good 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.959 was organsman's basketball as we just went over 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.079 broke their 10 game losing streak of their first 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.939 win in six weeks, which was big again unfamiliar 00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:28.980 territory for dana altman in this team, but my 00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:32.580 Really good good was lindsay desdrick with 16 00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:36.259 points off the bench with on shooting 60 on the 00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:39.220 game He played really well. I think he brought 00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:41.679 an energy the ducks needed and the ducks only 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.860 won by 11 points, so some could say his performance 00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.480 maybe kind of pushed that needle for the Ducks 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.500 against Penn State this weekend Yes, absolutely 00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:52.460 and we'll talk about them more in a second But 00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:55.019 certainly three players on this box score really 00:08:55.019 --> 00:08:57.179 stick out to you and Dedrick Lindsay is certainly 00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:59.960 one of them All right my bad from the weekend 00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:02.000 you mentioned and we talked about the all -star 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.159 game a little bit already My bad is Devin Booker 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.500 missing three straight three -pointers while 00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:10.940 being in a position to take down Damien Lillard 00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.879 who? To be fair, I'm glad Damien Lillard won. 00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:15.720 I was rooting for him. But man, Devin Booker 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.840 was on fire. He had 23 points entering the final 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.840 rack and he missed his last three three pointers. 00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:24.320 All he needed was one of them to tie. He had 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.419 27 points with three balls left. Very could have 00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:28.940 easily have won three point competition would 00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:31.139 have been his second, which I think it's been 00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:32.519 a while since he won his first. Maybe it was 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.840 2019, 2020, something like that. But obviously, 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.440 Dame coming through. So happy for Dame. But man, 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.279 I was a little bad from Devin Booker, if you 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.200 ask me. Yeah, he kind of kind of sold down the 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.759 stretch kind of sold he did um my bad sticking 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.179 with all -star weekend for anyone who's chronically 00:09:49.179 --> 00:09:53.720 online like us Kevin Durant alleged burner account. 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:55.940 Yeah, we don't know if it's katie yet There are 00:09:55.940 --> 00:09:58.340 a lot of photos going around where he is on his 00:09:58.340 --> 00:10:00.919 phone one minute before the all -star game starts 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:02.980 during warm -ups He's on his phone. He was glued 00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:05.759 to his phone all day sunday, which Is making 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.139 some people think some things um If you'll have 00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:10.980 not gone and seen the tweets, I'm sure you can 00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:12.379 find them anywhere on Twitter There's some funny 00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:14.399 ones. There's some if it is him There's some 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.879 stuff you might have to talk about stuff that 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.759 I definitely don't think would be good But I 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.360 think the bad is Kevin Durant. Yeah, allegedly 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.299 allegedly allegedly. We gotta make that really 00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:24.919 clear We don't know if this is actually do not 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.000 know if this it could be Kevin Durant super fan 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.779 Which goes to show how ridiculous all this stuff 00:10:29.779 --> 00:10:32.519 is where people will just grasp on to some story 00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:35.019 Whether or not they really know or not so it 00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:36.399 does seem like there's some evidence that it 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.460 is him But i'm sort of hesitant to sit there 00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:41.179 and go like yes, like this is kevin durant Yeah, 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.639 I always find it funny too because it's like 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.779 you see it pop up and i'm like who found this 00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:46.860 Like who was the person? I don't know. I know 00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:49.179 it's ridiculous. That's always gets me. Yeah 00:10:49.179 --> 00:10:52.179 twitter has eyes and ears everywhere So the ugly 00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:54.480 and this actually I think this was yesterday 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.759 when this came maybe it was earlier today Major 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.419 league baseball association executive director 00:10:59.419 --> 00:11:03.259 tony clark has resigned amid a federal investigation, 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.639 it was Tuesday so today, leaving the union without 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.100 a longtime leader less than a year before the 00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:11.639 expiration of the collective bargaining agreement. 00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:15.659 So not very good timing Tony who apparently resigned 00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:17.960 because there was an internal investigation that 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.679 revealed he had an inappropriate relation with 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.620 his sister -in -law who had hired by the union 00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:27.399 in 2023. so a process for naming his replacement 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.279 is not clear and the union's constitution does 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.480 not outline a succession plan but man you talk 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.460 about a bad like i already was not thinking that 00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:40.019 this was uh the lockout for major league baseball 00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:42.779 was kind of inevitable i don't know now you have 00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:45.919 a new director or executive director of the players 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.120 association It just seems like it's really really 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.519 bad timing. I think baseball is in a really messy 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.039 spot right now with everything going on with 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.059 salaries I'm People on the station know I think 00:11:58.059 --> 00:12:00.159 what's going on with the Dodgers is a problem 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.860 But I think that as much as anything you want 00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:04.379 to have the two sides be able to come to some 00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:06.220 sort of agreement And I think that having the 00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:09.960 players association the leader not there and 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.659 they clearly didn't want this to happen. This 00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:13.620 wasn't like some sort of succession plan. Like 00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:15.740 I'm worried about what's going to happen with 00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:17.360 Major League Baseball with the lockout. I think 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.340 it seems like to me all the dominoes are falling 00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:24.480 to where we're not going to see baseball after 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.159 the 2026 season for a year. I could see a lockout 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.309 for the 2027 season. Do you think they'll play 00:12:30.309 --> 00:12:32.509 this season the next season? Yeah, I think that 00:12:32.509 --> 00:12:34.629 that's probably I don't know That's what I think 00:12:34.629 --> 00:12:36.809 might happen right now If you ask me today if 00:12:36.809 --> 00:12:38.169 I think they're gonna do a lot if they're gonna 00:12:38.169 --> 00:12:41.710 lock out in 2027 i'd probably say yes But that's 00:12:41.710 --> 00:12:43.210 just my opinion. All right, what's your ugly 00:12:43.210 --> 00:12:45.990 from the weekend again for us twitter users? 00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:48.250 This one was kind of I would say major news though 00:12:48.250 --> 00:12:51.629 because it is the olympics This was pretty big 00:12:51.629 --> 00:12:54.210 canadian curling. I'm sure many of you all have 00:12:54.210 --> 00:12:57.610 heard this on the air. Um they were accused of 00:12:57.610 --> 00:13:01.110 cheating curler mark kennedy had an explicit 00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:04.190 an explicit outburst after sweden accused him 00:13:04.190 --> 00:13:06.830 of cheating during their match they said he was 00:13:06.830 --> 00:13:09.629 double touching so i guess when you i don't know 00:13:09.629 --> 00:13:12.330 much about curling but from what i was reading 00:13:12.330 --> 00:13:17.250 from the geniuses on twitter and online um once 00:13:17.250 --> 00:13:21.090 you release the stone you cannot be touched or 00:13:21.090 --> 00:13:24.769 altered again and there is video evidence of 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.799 Mark Kennedy touching the stone with his pointer 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:33.059 finger after he has released it and So yeah, 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:34.759 and so there was a big fight, right? There was 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.200 a big fight He said that they had Sweden had 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.340 it out for him that they he was not doing this 00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.080 when they had video evidence That he actually 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.419 was doing it. Yes. Yes, and so Yeah, and I think 00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:49.120 it's unbelievable reaction of kind of just like 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.200 cussing at the guys and like kind of just getting 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.720 a very angry I think It's ugly. Yeah, it was 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.860 ugly and I don't think it's the best way to defend 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.720 yourself as unlike there's no way I didn't do 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.100 this when you immediately or just like start 00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:05.399 kind of getting very angry and Not the way to 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.240 handle it, especially if you are caught red -handed, 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.539 right? Yeah, he was caught red -handed. All right. 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.720 Well, that's your good and bad and ugly from 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.460 over the weekend All right. Let's get back into 00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:18.559 Oregon men or yeah Oregon men's basketball who 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.120 we started a little bit on and it was involved 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.169 with our good bad and ugly, but yes It was a 00:14:22.169 --> 00:14:24.230 nice night for Oregon men's basketball and a 00:14:24.230 --> 00:14:26.970 much needed one where it's been six weeks. It's 00:14:26.970 --> 00:14:29.330 not something we're used to for this team. Still 00:14:29.330 --> 00:14:31.350 15 turnovers in the game, which I'm sure drives 00:14:31.350 --> 00:14:33.169 Dana Altman crazy, but they shot 50 percent from 00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:37.330 the field. But Dana Altman, he talked about was 00:14:37.330 --> 00:14:41.129 this a weight lifted off of his shoulders after 00:14:41.129 --> 00:14:46.129 this victory? Oh, maybe not my shoulders. I mean, 00:14:46.169 --> 00:14:50.470 the guys were feeling it, you know, been along 00:14:50.470 --> 00:14:57.519 six weeks. That's for sure. For them, as much 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.559 or more than our staff. It's hard on guys. Their 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:06.559 expectations were high. Nate, he's not playing 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.100 the way Nate's capable of, but he's pushing through 00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:14.039 with a couple ankles that are tender. We don't 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.419 have our quarterback, Jackson. Dev was supposed 00:15:17.419 --> 00:15:21.169 to be our defensive stopper. Big E was just starting 00:15:21.169 --> 00:15:26.269 to play well, and he gets hurt. So the consistency 00:15:26.269 --> 00:15:29.570 that I keep harping for has been hard just because 00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:32.750 we haven't had a rotation. Guys don't know when 00:15:32.750 --> 00:15:35.730 they're going in. I don't know how many starting 00:15:35.730 --> 00:15:40.509 lineups we've had, but we've had a bunch. We 00:15:40.509 --> 00:15:43.429 don't have what you should have in February, 00:15:44.169 --> 00:15:50.009 a rotation. Everything's set in stone. getting 00:15:50.009 --> 00:15:54.590 ready to play your best basketball. We're way 00:15:54.590 --> 00:15:59.409 behind because of just inconsistent lineups, 00:15:59.809 --> 00:16:02.110 not knowing who's available, who's not available. 00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:06.190 But, you know, you go into the year, you know, 00:16:06.230 --> 00:16:09.330 you got Nate as your preseason all -conference, 00:16:09.429 --> 00:16:11.429 you know, you got Jackson as your preseason all 00:16:11.429 --> 00:16:14.970 -conference, KJ coming back, you feel really 00:16:14.970 --> 00:16:18.220 good about those three, TK. And then Dev was 00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:21.080 supposed to be our defensive stopper, and he's 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.899 been out a lot. And even when he's been in, he's 00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:28.639 been nursing the groin injury. So it's just been 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.100 tough on him. Injuries are tough. It hurts the 00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:35.240 team, but guys want to play. They want to play 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.899 their best, and it's awfully difficult when you're 00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:42.820 banged up. Live from the big beverages studios 00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:45.080 with the Danny and Justin radio program here 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.039 on a Tuesday that was Dana Altman after Oregon's 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.779 83 to 72 win over Penn State and Like he said, 00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:53.639 I think they haven't had the horses as much as 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.379 anything You have your expectations of guys that 00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:57.179 are coming back and I just think it's interesting 00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:59.100 hearing Dana Altman after this has finally been 00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:00.759 over I think it was a great question. I think 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.180 it was Tyson Alger Who asked that question who 00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:05.880 a good friend of the program and just like how 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:10.299 do you feel basically after like? all of these 00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:13.019 losses have piled up and it's just been, you 00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:16.819 know, such a tough season, right? And, you know, 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.700 it makes sense for a head coach that he kind 00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:21.099 of knows how to handle that, but it's got to 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:23.559 be really hard for those players and their expectations 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:25.740 were, I'm sure, a lot higher than this. And something 00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:28.019 that I've been saying pretty much all along is 00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:30.880 that I didn't see at any point in the season 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.279 that this team looked like they weren't playing 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.640 hard. I quite honestly thought that every single 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.000 game that I've seen for the most part and Dana 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.380 Altman has a great quote I want to get to in 00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:41.339 a second about this but this team for the most 00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:43.599 part like I don't think these were lapses in 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.279 effort like why they were losing these games 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.819 like they just didn't execute because they didn't 00:17:47.819 --> 00:17:49.700 execute and they didn't have the guys and maybe 00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:51.599 they didn't have the talent at the time but Dana 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.119 Altman talks about how there's only three halves 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:56.799 in which that he felt disappointed in his team's 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.299 performance. You know there's one thing about 00:17:59.299 --> 00:18:02.019 having a bad record another thing about throwing 00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:06.220 in the towel. Those are two different dynamics. 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.539 I've been disappointed. I was disappointed with 00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:17.619 the second half at Nebraska. I was disappointed 00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:20.920 with our rebounding at Washington. And I was 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.660 disappointed with our defense against Indiana 00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:26.319 in the second half. Those three particular times, 00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:30.599 I've been very disappointed in our team. Other 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.400 than that, I haven't done a good enough job. 00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:35.480 They haven't done a good job. We haven't done 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.220 a good enough job to win games. But the only 00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:40.900 three times that I've been disappointed in them 00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:46.720 is the efforts in those three halves basically. 00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:50.920 So Oregon men's basketball pick up their big 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:55.279 win gets at least the losing streak off the board 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.960 and they still have Some games up Minnesota USC 00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:02.779 number 24, Wisconsin Northwestern, Illinois and 00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:04.720 then finishing off the year against Washington 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.380 So, you know lots been said about Oregon men's 00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:09.859 basketball, but certainly has not been the season 00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:13.400 that they wanted to have so far But running out 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:14.700 of time here a little bit for this segment. So 00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:16.720 we're gonna have to jump right into Oregon women's 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.500 basketball Not the night they would have wanted 00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:22.500 as well. That was on Sunday. They fell to number 00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:27.500 25 Washington 51 to 43 Honestly, one of the weirdest 00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:31.779 games I've seen all season long the Ducks have 00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:35.039 19 of their 43 points scored in the second quarter 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.319 They started off terrible. It was 22 to 9 for 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.559 Washington after the first quarter And the Ducks 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.740 find a way to bring it back. But then second 00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:46.819 half, it was kind of the same story for their 00:19:46.819 --> 00:19:49.579 offense. Six points in the third quarter, nine 00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:52.380 points in the fourth quarter. And it just was 00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:54.640 one of those nights. Mia Jacobs won one from 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.759 11 from the field. Katie Fiso only four points, 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:02.099 two of 13. So performances that I think we're 00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:04.440 certainly we're not accustomed to for Oregon 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.599 women's basketball. 31 % from the from the field 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.059 one for ten for three overall 39 combined turnovers 00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:16.799 between these two teams. So, you know What do 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.839 you think happened in this game for Oregon women's 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.299 basketball Dom? I mean, I think the first thing 00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:24.339 is you're on the road I think in most like in 00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:26.200 college basketball Especially like those home 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:27.819 court advantages mean a lot to some of these 00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:29.759 players and when they get out of a rhythm Then 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.400 you have a student section heckling you like 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.619 you do in college It's like I think it kind of 00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:35.839 mentally can be a lot for some of these players 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.920 And then I think it's like one of I think it's 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.500 hard because it's like you you go you're down 00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:44.339 22 to 9 in this in the first quarter You out 00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:46.539 score them 19 to 5 in the second court feels 00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:48.579 like you got your shot back Yeah But then when 00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:50.339 you get your shot back you immediately go sit 00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:53.039 down for 20 minutes at halftime And I think they 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.240 just came out flat and I but I think a point 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.819 of emphasis to look at in this game That is good 00:20:58.819 --> 00:21:02.299 for the organs organs women's team is their defense 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:05.099 They only gave up 10 points in the third quarter. 00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:07.660 They just only were able to score six points, 00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:09.680 right? So I think like as bad as five points 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:11.519 in the second quarter Yeah, so I think as bad 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.680 as as bad offensively as they were I think they 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.319 were good defensively and I think that's something 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.480 you can look at and build on As they get ready 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.920 for the tournament. So esprion Bracketology has 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:29.049 the latest on them as a number eight seed Going 00:21:29.049 --> 00:21:32.190 against number nine Iowa State in the Texas bracket 00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:35.210 and that Not the best situation to be in they 00:21:35.210 --> 00:21:39.049 did this last year. They were in the North Carolina 00:21:39.049 --> 00:21:42.089 bracket I believe and they faced Duke then face, 00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:44.150 North Carolina And it's just tough because you're 00:21:44.150 --> 00:21:45.910 gonna be if you're in the Texas bracket like 00:21:45.910 --> 00:21:48.309 you're gonna be in Austin like you're gonna be 00:21:48.309 --> 00:21:51.309 in Texas for this matchup if they even get past 00:21:51.309 --> 00:21:53.549 Iowa State obviously, which is a tough matchup 00:21:53.549 --> 00:21:56.930 eight to nine, so You know four games left for 00:21:57.130 --> 00:22:01.670 the Oregon Ducks and Just pulling up their schedule 00:22:01.670 --> 00:22:06.529 here they have Nebraska and Indiana who are below 00:22:06.529 --> 00:22:09.849 them in the standings Nebraska is 16 and 10 overall 00:22:09.849 --> 00:22:14.829 but 5 and 10 in the Big Ten Conference and Indiana 00:22:14.829 --> 00:22:19.309 is 3 and 12 in conference 14 and 13 overall so 00:22:19.309 --> 00:22:21.890 I think those are wins they can get then you 00:22:21.890 --> 00:22:25.930 play against Purdue Purdue is Also below them 00:22:25.930 --> 00:22:27.970 in the standings kind of a 500 team four and 00:22:27.970 --> 00:22:29.970 ten in conference So I think there's opportunities 00:22:29.970 --> 00:22:31.910 to win those three games and then final game 00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:35.009 of the season you get at home against Washington 00:22:35.009 --> 00:22:37.809 in a rematch What are your thoughts on that? 00:22:38.089 --> 00:22:40.569 I think they can very well go four and oh, I 00:22:40.569 --> 00:22:43.650 think the Washington game if you're on this team 00:22:43.650 --> 00:22:45.549 You have that game circled because I think there's 00:22:45.549 --> 00:22:47.230 a scent There's a might be a feeling in that 00:22:47.230 --> 00:22:48.849 locker room that they should have won that game 00:22:48.849 --> 00:22:51.849 And it's a couple more shots fall in. I mean 00:22:51.849 --> 00:22:54.910 you lost by seven points and you scored Five 00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:56.829 points in a quarter. So I think if you look at 00:22:56.829 --> 00:22:59.529 that, it's like I would have that game circled 00:22:59.529 --> 00:23:01.269 and I think the rest of them are very manageable 00:23:01.269 --> 00:23:05.369 So yeah, I think I think if they go for no they're 00:23:05.369 --> 00:23:07.750 going into the tournament very hot and that's 00:23:07.750 --> 00:23:09.809 always what you want in March Absolutely, and 00:23:09.809 --> 00:23:12.329 I think there's at least a chance that they would 00:23:12.329 --> 00:23:15.009 go in as higher than an eight seed I just think 00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:16.710 that man you don't want to end up playing that 00:23:16.710 --> 00:23:20.230 number one seed in your second game in the tournament 00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:23.079 It's what happened last year. It seems like the 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:25.119 path that they're on right now. But we'll see 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.519 what happens with Oregon women's basketball. 00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:31.759 That game against Nebraska is at home on Thursday. 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.279 So we're going to take a break here on the Danny 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:36.740 and Justin radio program.

The totality of what oregon state 00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:45.980 accomplished? in surprise as Bryce Hubbard as 00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:47.240 he launched that home run like what were your 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.380 immediate thoughts on the weekend as that home 00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:53.140 run went over the fence I Mean a three -and -one 00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:57.519 start to the 2026 campaign is is you know? The 00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:59.819 ideal way that I think you'd start out a year 00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:02.980 especially you know with kind of dropping that 00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:07.990 first game to Michigan on Friday, but like Three 00:25:07.990 --> 00:25:11.690 in one, you prime yourself up for another road 00:25:11.690 --> 00:25:14.410 trip down to Texas at Round Rock. You kind of 00:25:14.410 --> 00:25:16.769 are able to shake off a little bit of a rush, 00:25:16.930 --> 00:25:19.069 play some teams that, you know, haven't been 00:25:19.069 --> 00:25:23.690 yourself in scrimmages. And really overall, like, 00:25:23.809 --> 00:25:26.710 I think this was a good, you know, chance to 00:25:26.710 --> 00:25:31.089 show, you know, what this team will look like. 00:25:31.109 --> 00:25:33.809 And it's kind of end product at the end of the 00:25:33.809 --> 00:25:37.210 season. some flashes of that with more of a small 00:25:37.210 --> 00:25:40.049 ball lineup approach. And then the pitching staff 00:25:40.049 --> 00:25:43.250 as well, too. I mean, Ethan Klenchman and Dax 00:25:43.250 --> 00:25:46.369 Whitney, they are obviously who we thought they 00:25:46.369 --> 00:25:50.529 are in terms of their performances. But like 00:25:50.529 --> 00:25:52.950 in terms of, you know, kind of guys that really 00:25:52.950 --> 00:25:56.710 impressed me, Trey Morris, the freshman, getting 00:25:56.710 --> 00:26:01.710 the Rock on Monday and going four innings and 00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:05.460 picking up six strikeouts. he was somebody that 00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:09.599 we hadn't really heard a whole ton of kind of 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.200 talked about in our availabilities with Canon 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:17.259 and the rest of the players. But Morris is, you 00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:19.559 know, kind of your old school lefty a little 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.539 bit like he is his velocity doesn't necessarily 00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:26.819 like, you know, wow you but you can fill up the 00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:30.039 zone and get outs when when needed. And really 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.880 like he was giving that Michigan lineup some 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.720 trouble. early on and then until he got pulled 00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:38.579 like that's when that Michigan lineup started 00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:41.859 to finally find some success you know getting 00:26:41.859 --> 00:26:48.759 runs from fifth inning on so to me there's a 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.460 lot of good but also to a lot of things that 00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:54.779 this group still needs to improve on because 00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:58.140 as much as you know A three and one start is 00:26:58.140 --> 00:27:01.720 ideal. I think there are some things that need 00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:03.920 to be tightened up a little bit across the board 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.460 from the pitching staff to even the lineup one 00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:11.079 through nine as you get set for another road 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:13.740 trip here. Yeah, certainly and some more decent 00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:15.980 competition coming up, but I still want to focus 00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:18.720 on what happened this last weekend again I'm 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.160 calling it the weekend even though it's Tuesday 00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.799 was presidency yesterday but two straight walk 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.380 -offs in a row and You know drop doctor walked 00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:27.380 it off single to right field against Stanford 00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:29.859 mentioned the home run by Bryce Harvard against 00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:33.140 Michigan yesterday and I think there's something 00:27:33.140 --> 00:27:35.619 to be said Ryan about a team's identity in the 00:27:35.619 --> 00:27:37.640 clutch I think that's something that's built 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:39.859 over the course of a season. I think that you 00:27:39.859 --> 00:27:43.009 can have teams that The narrative starts to become 00:27:43.009 --> 00:27:45.450 like they don't get the two out hit or they can't 00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:47.849 get it done when it really matters. I think this 00:27:47.849 --> 00:27:50.049 team actually did something this weekend, not 00:27:50.049 --> 00:27:52.589 just getting these wins, but being able to come 00:27:52.589 --> 00:27:54.430 up in the clutch, not just on the hitting side, 00:27:54.450 --> 00:27:56.150 but also there are some big outs that were made 00:27:56.150 --> 00:27:58.829 as well. What kind of things can it do for a 00:27:58.829 --> 00:28:01.269 team in your opinion when you can have that sort 00:28:01.269 --> 00:28:03.450 of early success in the clutch going forward? 00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:07.559 think that kind of sets you up for the postseason 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.140 right like you can draw on that as you get on 00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:13.480 through the season you get to the latter half 00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.440 towards the end of the regular season where you're 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.779 gonna find yourself kind of in those games and 00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:19.680 you can draw upon that experience of like hey 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.059 we've we've been here we know how to deal with 00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:25.099 this we know how to you know win games like this 00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:28.740 in that fashion and really as much as you want 00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:31.059 to knock like the the pitching staff right like 00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:33.920 they came up with key outs when when needed and 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.359 jack jurgano was able to keep a scoreless top 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.299 of the 10th and then albert robles uh in two 00:28:41.299 --> 00:28:43.920 different appearances for the beavers this weekend 00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:48.460 was able to to do that as well and then tanner 00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:52.099 douglas uh coming in who had struggled at at 00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:55.119 times last year he had a really big outing as 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.279 well even though it was one inning of work And 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.940 then those big hits from Proctor and Huber just 00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:03.839 show that any guy within that lineup is able 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.759 to come up to the plate and deliver. And that 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.539 all combined together, I think, is a really good 00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:13.619 starting point of you're going to find yourself 00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:16.640 this next week coming up against tougher competition. 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.920 And if it comes into being one of those kind 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:23.519 of games where a walk off hit is going to decide 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:28.079 it. I really like Oregon State's chances to come 00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.640 through in that kind of approach. And really, 00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:36.119 that was something that I think this team missed 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.779 a little bit of at times during that Omaha run 00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:43.420 a little bit, at least with those two losses 00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:49.000 to Coastal and then Louisville. Because there 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.539 were opportunities, I think, in those two games 00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:55.480 to... shit in the clutch but they just weren't 00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:58.420 able to come up with it. Yeah and now I think 00:29:58.420 --> 00:30:01.299 with this retooled lineup a little bit you can 00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:04.539 have guys be able to you know one through nine 00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:08.180 be able to get that hit when it matters or be 00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:10.519 able to move guys over in clutch moments as well 00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.980 too and we saw a little bit of that as well so 00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:15.779 I think it does a lot it definitely sets the 00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:19.859 foundation for I think this group going forward 00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:23.099 a little bit but like it's a good you know drawback 00:30:23.339 --> 00:30:26.180 the experience when you get to the you know end 00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:28.200 of the season slash postseason of we've been 00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:30.839 here We know what to do. We've won games like 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.500 this and we can execute when the when the lights 00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:35.730 are bright The Danny and Justin radio program 00:30:35.730 --> 00:30:38.589 live from a Tuesday here from the Bigfoot Beverages 00:30:38.589 --> 00:30:41.890 studios broadcasting in both Eugene and in Newport 00:30:41.890 --> 00:30:44.609 We're with Ryan Harland. He is the senior sports 00:30:44.609 --> 00:30:46.589 writer covering Oregon State Athletics for Beaver's 00:30:46.589 --> 00:30:48.930 Edge And you mentioned the offense and what kind 00:30:48.930 --> 00:30:50.930 of offenses is it's funny. It's almost like last 00:30:50.930 --> 00:30:52.309 year There was a lot of power and not that they 00:30:52.309 --> 00:30:53.970 didn't have guys that could just really hit the 00:30:53.970 --> 00:30:56.410 baseball contact guys But it feels like man the 00:30:56.410 --> 00:30:58.569 swing this year has been completely to the other 00:30:58.569 --> 00:31:01.619 side They still were having six A fair amount 00:31:01.619 --> 00:31:03.220 of success, I would say offensively, four and 00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:06.579 a half runs per game. But, you know, the one 00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:08.759 home run of the weekend was the walk off. And 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:10.200 I think there is something to be said about, 00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:13.039 man, you talk about a postseason. That's the 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:14.599 kind of thing that can win you a game sometimes 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:16.640 as a guy coming up and getting a big home run 00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:19.339 when you really need it. So what is your evaluation 00:31:19.339 --> 00:31:21.519 of this offense? It is still early. I don't think 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.200 that really we could know if there is going to 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.700 be more power to come. But do you think that 00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:27.539 we're going to see more power than what we saw 00:31:27.539 --> 00:31:31.359 this weekend for this team? I think you will 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.720 see more power as it develops over time. I think 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:36.500 the home runs will come eventually as we get 00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:40.720 later into the season. I think with... having 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.299 a guy like Hubbard and also uh Jacob Craig those 00:31:44.299 --> 00:31:45.960 two bats that you know are definitely going to 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.500 be your your um power bats in that lineup but 00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:53.000 also Easton Tall had a couple of um hits that 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.039 were borderline but the wind you know played 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.160 a factor in that downing surprise preventing 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:03.619 those balls from going out but um you know Tall 00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:06.720 is still able to do that as well AJ Singer can 00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.829 go go yard if need be um But I think I would 00:32:10.829 --> 00:32:13.289 just like to see a little more, I think, consistency 00:32:13.289 --> 00:32:16.990 from them a little bit in terms of putting the 00:32:16.990 --> 00:32:20.309 ball in play and waiting for those home run opportunities 00:32:20.309 --> 00:32:23.529 when they come to you. Obviously Hubbard's walk 00:32:23.529 --> 00:32:27.309 off was a good example of that. But I think those 00:32:27.309 --> 00:32:29.609 those will come down, you know, down the line. 00:32:29.769 --> 00:32:34.150 It's just a matter of. waiting to see more of 00:32:34.150 --> 00:32:36.630 a bigger sample size, I think, from this group 00:32:36.630 --> 00:32:38.529 of what they might look like a little bit and 00:32:38.529 --> 00:32:41.789 kind of who, you know, works, what combinations 00:32:41.789 --> 00:32:44.690 work where, who works at whatever spot within 00:32:44.690 --> 00:32:49.990 the order. And to me, it seems like Hanum has 00:32:49.990 --> 00:32:52.750 at least the top half of the order relatively 00:32:52.750 --> 00:32:55.450 set. I think you can expect, you know, Bryce 00:32:55.450 --> 00:32:59.779 Hubbard to mostly be... in that DH spot with 00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:03.539 the only time of him catching and Jacob Galloway, 00:33:04.140 --> 00:33:08.220 his early returns on him that looks good so far 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:14.480 behind the dish. So to me, I think those are, 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.920 you know, some names earlier where you can at 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.859 least see the kind of makings of it. You just 00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:21.700 I think need to get a bigger sample size going 00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:24.519 forward to truly. you know see where that power 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.099 is going to come from one and then two who are 00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:30.339 those guys that you know are going to be um you 00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:33.660 know those sort of relied upon hitters to come 00:33:33.660 --> 00:33:37.109 up in the clutch for for organ state You brought 00:33:37.109 --> 00:33:39.670 up a great point like the sample size AJ singer 00:33:39.670 --> 00:33:42.549 is leading this team right now with 17 at bats. 00:33:43.150 --> 00:33:46.730 So Certainly we can have some early Takeaways, 00:33:46.789 --> 00:33:49.109 but it's gonna just be what this team does that 00:33:49.109 --> 00:33:50.890 I think is to determine all these things and 00:33:50.890 --> 00:33:53.210 kind of in that same vein of You're getting a 00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:54.650 little bit of a first look. We got to see the 00:33:54.650 --> 00:33:57.569 first look at the rotation Dax Whitney five innings 00:33:57.569 --> 00:33:59.549 one run on Friday did have some base runners 00:33:59.549 --> 00:34:01.950 But overall, like you said earlier, he looked 00:34:01.950 --> 00:34:03.529 like Dax Whitney We kind of know what we're getting 00:34:03.529 --> 00:34:06.509 out of him Eric Seguro also went scoreless against 00:34:06.509 --> 00:34:08.809 Stanford Ethan Klein Schmidt went five innings 00:34:08.809 --> 00:34:11.849 one run impressive nine strikeouts and then yesterday 00:34:11.849 --> 00:34:14.730 as we talked about Trey Morris with the four 00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:17.750 and a third inning with a one earned run so you 00:34:17.750 --> 00:34:19.869 talked about a little bit already with Trey Morris 00:34:19.869 --> 00:34:22.630 what do you think it's gonna take to really determine 00:34:22.630 --> 00:34:24.510 how this rotation settles out like who's gonna 00:34:24.510 --> 00:34:27.269 make the rotation and are you higher or lower 00:34:27.269 --> 00:34:29.929 on the rotation overall than you were coming 00:34:29.929 --> 00:34:33.860 into the season just after that first look I'm 00:34:33.860 --> 00:34:37.440 about the same on the rotation after these four 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:41.599 games when I was coming into this. I'm really 00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:45.320 curious more to see who comes up with that Sunday 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:49.019 roll now because with the way that that played 00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:53.260 out, I thought at least White Queen would probably 00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:56.559 be the guy to go out there for Sunday and ended 00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.559 up being Segura going through scoreless. And 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.619 then they threw Queen out there after Segura 00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:07.820 in a relief appearance. So I'm really interested 00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:11.119 to see from Kanem, because we talked to him tomorrow, 00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:14.820 on what his thoughts were on both Eric and Wyatt's 00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:17.090 performances out on the mound. kind of who will 00:35:17.090 --> 00:35:21.250 take that role. I more lean towards Queen to 00:35:21.250 --> 00:35:24.429 take that spot. I think he's a little more consistent. 00:35:24.829 --> 00:35:27.309 You kind of know what you're going to get out 00:35:27.309 --> 00:35:30.170 of him. I think better command of the ball personally 00:35:30.170 --> 00:35:34.050 than Eric. But also at the same time, though, 00:35:34.210 --> 00:35:38.409 with the way that Trey Morris performed, I wouldn't 00:35:38.409 --> 00:35:41.650 be surprised, too, if he kind of pushes those 00:35:41.650 --> 00:35:45.530 two for a spot there in the rotation. That would 00:35:45.530 --> 00:35:49.829 be kind of an interesting development of a guy 00:35:49.829 --> 00:35:52.670 who you didn't hear a whole lot about kind of 00:35:52.670 --> 00:35:58.570 early on in our availabilities with Canham and 00:35:58.570 --> 00:36:02.050 the rest of the players about a lot, but also 00:36:02.050 --> 00:36:05.449 to like, Morris looked like a guy that wasn't 00:36:05.449 --> 00:36:07.829 a freshman on the mound. I mean, picking up six 00:36:07.829 --> 00:36:10.889 strikeouts in your Oregon State debut, that's 00:36:10.889 --> 00:36:13.340 impressive in its own right, so. The rotation 00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:17.219 I like still I think the Sunday spot is going 00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:19.639 to be the only one that's to be determined and 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.219 then kind of after that with you know midweek 00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:25.860 it's going to be whoever of you know doesn't 00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:30.099 make those you know three spots there Friday, 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:32.300 Saturday, and Sunday and then you probably throw 00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:35.679 in perhaps maybe a guy like Morris, Segur, Queen, 00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:40.059 or Connor Mendez even from Lynn Benton. Who I 00:36:40.059 --> 00:36:42.400 was really high on going into this year. We didn't 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:46.519 get to see a ton of him This this weekend, but 00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:49.119 i'm curious to see if we'll get an appearance 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.380 from him down at round rock And you really can 00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:54.099 never have too much depth So, you know whether 00:36:54.099 --> 00:36:56.860 or not you know someone takes a spot like there's 00:36:56.860 --> 00:36:59.000 probably opportunity with injuries and you don't 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.079 want those to happen But it's really as I said 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:04.840 never too bad to have options. Um, speaking of 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.989 impressive though I think the transfer from Jacob, 00:37:08.170 --> 00:37:10.269 or the transfer from Texas A &M, Jacob Galloway, 00:37:10.389 --> 00:37:12.150 he's been really impressive so far, obviously. 00:37:12.289 --> 00:37:14.889 Six for 12, three doubles, he's sitting comfortably 00:37:14.889 --> 00:37:17.489 in that three hole. It's interesting, last year 00:37:17.489 --> 00:37:19.610 Ivar Arquette was clearly the guy that you could 00:37:19.610 --> 00:37:21.449 look at a lineup and say, hey, like, yeah, that's 00:37:21.449 --> 00:37:23.650 the guy, he's gonna be the top pick in the MLB 00:37:23.650 --> 00:37:26.409 draft. Do you think, I mean, I'm not gonna put 00:37:26.409 --> 00:37:28.630 those expectations on Jacob Galloway, but do 00:37:28.630 --> 00:37:31.309 you think so far that it's, I don't know if clear 00:37:31.309 --> 00:37:32.809 is the right word, but do you think that he might 00:37:32.809 --> 00:37:35.829 be the best hitter on this team? At least right 00:37:35.829 --> 00:37:38.670 now he fears to have kind of cemented himself 00:37:38.670 --> 00:37:41.269 as one of the better bats I think in this lineup 00:37:41.269 --> 00:37:46.449 right now In terms of other guys that would be 00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:50.389 in that spot finger would be as well I think 00:37:50.389 --> 00:37:53.929 if Paul finds a little bit of a rhythm that would 00:37:53.929 --> 00:37:57.050 be you know kind of another name that you could 00:37:57.050 --> 00:37:59.710 Rely on there, but definitely from just kind 00:37:59.710 --> 00:38:04.510 of early on so far You know, I definitely think 00:38:04.510 --> 00:38:07.409 that he's been one of the better ones and and 00:38:07.409 --> 00:38:10.269 it's just really like not necessarily a power 00:38:10.269 --> 00:38:12.650 thing from them It's more of he puts the ball 00:38:12.650 --> 00:38:16.449 in play and is able to you know move guys When 00:38:16.449 --> 00:38:19.610 they're on base and being able to score runs 00:38:19.610 --> 00:38:24.230 when he does get on this so It's I think everything 00:38:24.230 --> 00:38:26.949 that you want in a catcher in terms of being 00:38:26.949 --> 00:38:29.730 let hit but also to just his leadership behind 00:38:29.730 --> 00:38:33.139 the dish has also been really great defensively 00:38:33.139 --> 00:38:36.940 too as well. So those are things that you know 00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:39.420 for a guy that's been around for a little bit 00:38:39.420 --> 00:38:43.260 in college baseball and I really like what I've 00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:46.019 seen so far from his early goings here in the 00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:48.639 orange and black and really curious to see how 00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:52.420 he follows up that strong performance and surprise 00:38:52.420 --> 00:38:55.889 down at Round Rock. But there's a couple of names 00:38:55.889 --> 00:38:58.369 too that I think, you know, maybe could make 00:38:58.369 --> 00:39:01.630 their way in potentially. Eli Greaves -Smith, 00:39:02.349 --> 00:39:06.570 Ethan Porter as well too. A couple others that, 00:39:06.570 --> 00:39:08.869 you know, maybe might be able to kind of make 00:39:08.869 --> 00:39:12.159 their way. into into that lineup as well and 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.000 be some you know consistent hitters along with 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.440 Galloway as well. Got a couple of questions left 00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:20.239 for you Ryan as Ryan Harland from Beaver's Edge 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.619 is here with us on the Oregon Man Clinics Hotline 00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:24.820 the Danny and Justin radio program broadcast 00:39:24.820 --> 00:39:27.610 live from the Bigfoot Beverages studios in Eugene 00:39:27.610 --> 00:39:30.469 and in Newport. I want to look a little bit ahead. 00:39:30.889 --> 00:39:32.750 The Round Rock Classic should be another interesting 00:39:32.750 --> 00:39:36.369 test this weekend. Southern Miss is ranked in 00:39:36.369 --> 00:39:39.510 their rankings for D1 baseball in the top 25. 00:39:39.929 --> 00:39:41.670 Some other teams that are sort of in that area 00:39:41.670 --> 00:39:46.610 as well. Do you expect any changes from Mitch 00:39:46.610 --> 00:39:50.570 Cannon as we head into those games? The biggest 00:39:50.570 --> 00:39:53.730 change I think I might expect is probably who's 00:39:53.730 --> 00:39:57.039 going to be at the hot corner. for Round Rock, 00:39:57.219 --> 00:40:01.340 I mean, you cycled through three guys at that 00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:06.000 spot, Bryson Glasgow, Cooper Vance, and then 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:11.440 Paul Vazquez. Personally, I'd like to see a little 00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:16.059 bit more from Paul Vazquez, if possible. It looks 00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:20.340 like it might be, you know, between Vance and 00:40:20.340 --> 00:40:23.449 Vazquez for who plays third. We haven't really 00:40:23.449 --> 00:40:26.889 seen a whole lot of Vasquez yet, except for Friday's 00:40:26.889 --> 00:40:31.949 appearance. And then the other positions I might 00:40:31.949 --> 00:40:35.730 look at, maybe that left field spot with Proctor, 00:40:36.230 --> 00:40:39.550 Adam Haight, and then maybe putting in Eli Grease 00:40:39.550 --> 00:40:43.150 -Smith as well too. Eli is a name that I'm a 00:40:43.150 --> 00:40:49.230 bit high on, but he's not quite a power hitter. 00:40:49.329 --> 00:40:51.530 He's kind of somebody that will just... you know, 00:40:51.670 --> 00:40:54.829 be able to manufacture hits consistently kind 00:40:54.829 --> 00:40:57.409 of kind of really fit in with that small ball 00:40:57.409 --> 00:41:00.670 approach. I mean, as the speed to stole double 00:41:00.670 --> 00:41:04.090 digit bags while Arkansas pine bluff, uh, not 00:41:04.090 --> 00:41:07.610 quite the speed of a nine Hayes, but still is, 00:41:07.610 --> 00:41:11.230 you know, a danger on the base pass for opposing 00:41:11.230 --> 00:41:16.190 pitchers to worry about. So I would like to see, 00:41:16.190 --> 00:41:18.170 you know, maybe some tweaks there a little bit 00:41:18.170 --> 00:41:19.949 of how you want to approach at least those two 00:41:19.949 --> 00:41:23.719 positions. because for the everything else it 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:26.940 seems pretty much set for the most part maybe 00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:31.199 with you know you maybe rotate out you know Tyler 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:35.519 Inge or potentially Glasgow or Vance there depending 00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:39.139 on you know the opponent but it seems like there's 00:41:39.139 --> 00:41:44.159 a consistent spot for everybody else with the 00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:47.880 exception of that last outfield spot and then 00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:51.349 also at the same time who's gonna play third 00:41:51.349 --> 00:41:54.170 base. So those would be the two I'd be looking 00:41:54.170 --> 00:41:56.949 at coming in a round rock right now. Yeah, certainly 00:41:56.949 --> 00:41:59.550 it's gonna be interesting to see how things change 00:41:59.550 --> 00:42:03.190 as we go forward in the season. It'll be a good 00:42:03.190 --> 00:42:05.789 set of matchups against Baylor, Southern Miss 00:42:05.789 --> 00:42:07.909 and Purdue at the round rock classic. So Ryan, 00:42:08.170 --> 00:42:10.010 we always appreciate your time. Man, let's get 00:42:10.010 --> 00:42:12.110 together soon. You're only 45 minutes up there 00:42:12.110 --> 00:42:14.869 in Corvallis. So like, hey, man, let's get together, 00:42:15.030 --> 00:42:18.190 man. Yeah, no, definitely just name the time 00:42:18.190 --> 00:42:20.889 and place. I'll be down. All right Let's do I 00:42:20.889 --> 00:42:22.949 I'll go up there too. I've got a car. So no worries 00:42:22.949 --> 00:42:24.989 So let's get together soon. We'll have you back 00:42:24.989 --> 00:42:27.530 on the show soon as the season goes along to 00:42:27.530 --> 00:42:29.929 break down more beaver baseball Yeah, I know 00:42:29.929 --> 00:42:31.730 appreciate you guys having me on as always. Thank 00:42:31.730 --> 00:42:34.710 you And there he goes, the great Ryan Harlon, 00:42:34.769 --> 00:42:37.570 good friend of the program and senior writer 00:42:37.570 --> 00:42:40.150 from Beaver's Edge. So we'll take our last break 00:42:40.150 --> 00:42:42.730 here on the Danny and Justin radio program, but 00:42:42.730 --> 00:42:44.449 we still have more to talk about. We're going 00:42:44.449 --> 00:42:46.110 to get it in here. I know it's the fastest 60 00:42:46.110 --> 00:42:48.829 minutes. We're truly showing why Oregon baseball 00:42:48.829 --> 00:42:50.710 sweeps their way through George Mason. Oregon 00:42:50.710 --> 00:42:52.969 softball wins three out of four games in the 00:42:52.969 --> 00:42:54.510 Cardinal Classic, but they fought a Stanford. 00:42:54.650 --> 00:42:56.269 Want to talk about that. So we'll break down 00:42:56.269 --> 00:42:59.010 the Diamond Sports more after this. You're listening 00:42:59.010 --> 00:43:01.429 to the Danny and Justin show on Fox Sports Eugene 00:43:01.429 --> 00:43:06.730 and Fox Sports Newport. Back for the fastest 00:43:06.730 --> 00:43:08.590 60 minutes in Sports Talk, the Danny and Justin 00:43:08.590 --> 00:43:11.250 radio program on Fox Sports Eugene and Fox Sports 00:43:11.250 --> 00:43:13.369 Newport. If you missed our conversation with 00:43:13.369 --> 00:43:15.510 Brian Harlan from Beaver's Edge, make sure to 00:43:15.510 --> 00:43:17.769 check out our podcast, which Dom is an upload 00:43:17.769 --> 00:43:20.989 after the show. So be sure to catch it there. 00:43:21.730 --> 00:43:23.590 But that being said, let's dive right into some 00:43:23.590 --> 00:43:26.670 Oregon baseball as we race through what we got 00:43:26.670 --> 00:43:28.650 left with a couple of minutes. But Oregon the 00:43:28.650 --> 00:43:31.260 Ducks. They started off their season strong getting 00:43:31.260 --> 00:43:33.619 a sweep of George Mason game one They scored 00:43:33.619 --> 00:43:36.619 five runs in the first two innings of their season 00:43:36.619 --> 00:43:39.739 that included an absolute tank from Dominic Hellman 00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:43.760 who? Sorry, Danny. I think his nickname for him 00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:47.460 has been Mayo, I think that Hellboy might be 00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:49.800 a decent nickname. He's a big strong guy. I mean, 00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:52.280 he absolutely reminds me of a guy like Giancarlo 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:56.460 Stanton. He's 6 '6, 281. But the thing about 00:43:56.460 --> 00:43:59.159 him is that Mark Wasikowski, he wants everybody 00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:01.519 to know that this guy actually is a hitter too. 00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.960 Like he's not just a big slug and just, you know. 00:44:05.150 --> 00:44:07.550 Close your eyes and try to see if you can hit 00:44:07.550 --> 00:44:09.269 it type of guy like this guy can really hit. 00:44:09.389 --> 00:44:12.389 He only had 13 home runs last season had his 00:44:12.389 --> 00:44:14.269 first of the year this year, but man, he's a 00:44:14.269 --> 00:44:16.989 guy 326. I think something like that last season. 00:44:16.989 --> 00:44:20.429 So I think Dominic Hellman certainly is one of 00:44:20.429 --> 00:44:22.349 the most important players on this team. He started 00:44:22.349 --> 00:44:25.070 off really well in game one. Will Sanford took 00:44:25.070 --> 00:44:26.889 the mound and had an excellent start going five 00:44:26.889 --> 00:44:30.250 innings with only one hit and one walk. No earned 00:44:30.250 --> 00:44:33.190 runs five strikeouts and Miles Gastola and Tanner 00:44:33.190 --> 00:44:36.000 Bradley finish it off. for a six to two opening 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.320 day victory. In game two, the Ducks scored nine 00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:41.780 runs in the second inning. In the first of a 00:44:41.780 --> 00:44:45.659 double header, it was a 14 to five victory. Angel 00:44:45.659 --> 00:44:48.699 Lea, who is a guy that, as I mentioned earlier, 00:44:48.989 --> 00:44:51.510 Really really talented freshman. He homered twice 00:44:51.510 --> 00:44:54.449 in that game kind of his welcome to the welcome 00:44:54.449 --> 00:44:56.329 to the show moment If you want to call it that 00:44:56.329 --> 00:44:59.449 Ryan Cooney added a blast as well late and Colin 00:44:59.449 --> 00:45:01.329 Clark on the bump was impressive He went six 00:45:01.329 --> 00:45:04.610 innings with ten strikeouts zero walks to earned 00:45:04.610 --> 00:45:06.929 run. So game three kind of the same story It 00:45:06.929 --> 00:45:09.630 was a 14 to 4 victory after game one was a 14 00:45:09.630 --> 00:45:12.369 to 5 victory So another blowout Maddox Maloney 00:45:12.369 --> 00:45:15.389 homered in that one and then in game for Oregon 00:45:15.389 --> 00:45:19.260 one on Sunday 11 to 1 so George Mason Dom not 00:45:19.260 --> 00:45:21.719 necessarily a team that you're going to be looking 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:24.460 at as a force or anything like that But do you 00:45:24.460 --> 00:45:26.539 think we could still have some takeaways after 00:45:26.539 --> 00:45:28.679 this first week after seeing some really really 00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:30.579 good offense and the starting pitching at times 00:45:30.579 --> 00:45:33.280 Looking very very good Yeah, for sure I think 00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:35.519 the one thing to look at at least what jumped 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:37.320 out to me was the offense looked like it just 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:40.179 took off exactly where it left last year Explosive 00:45:40.179 --> 00:45:42.960 high scoring a lot of big hits a lot of big at 00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.679 bats in that lineup so I think that there's only 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:47.260 positives to take away from this and I think 00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:50.679 it's like Yeah, George Mason's probably not the 00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:52.719 cream of the crop in college baseball But it's 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.480 like you didn't roll over and play down to competition 00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:57.679 and I think that's a big thing That is very important. 00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.260 We're not gonna get all the audio. We talked 00:45:59.260 --> 00:46:01.159 about we're just gonna do that last one about 00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:04.219 Youngstown State So number seven over there and 00:46:04.219 --> 00:46:06.380 so coach Wasikowski talks about Youngstown State 00:46:06.380 --> 00:46:08.519 who Oregon it does have coming up on their schedule 00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:10.559 and they played Auburn and played some tight 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:13.760 games with Auburn so Coach Wasikowski talks about 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.480 have they started preparing for this team and 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:18.219 what he sees out of them? Well, we start Thursday, 00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:20.300 Thursday, single games, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.400 Sunday, four games set. I know in their first 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.900 two games of their series versus Auburn this 00:46:24.900 --> 00:46:27.360 last weekend, they lost two really tight games 00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.159 in the first two games of their weekend series. 00:46:29.219 --> 00:46:31.460 We've already watched those. Then one got away 00:46:31.460 --> 00:46:34.000 from them in game three, but had two tremendous 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.099 pitching performances. They lost the second game 00:46:36.099 --> 00:46:40.380 on a wild pitch. Just a wild pitch and it was 00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:42.699 a walk off wild pitch where Auburn beat them 00:46:42.699 --> 00:46:45.719 in that. first game was a tight one as well so 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:48.639 they had a couple arms really throw well and 00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.179 you know we've already watched those games but 00:46:51.179 --> 00:46:54.139 you know we'll have to prepare more to know how 00:46:54.139 --> 00:46:55.739 they did today i'm not sure exactly how they 00:46:55.739 --> 00:46:58.619 did they did not do very well they lost big it 00:46:58.619 --> 00:47:02.030 was like 14 to 1 against Auburn so It's a game 00:47:02.030 --> 00:47:04.050 that I think a team you're playing four games 00:47:04.050 --> 00:47:06.289 against I would expect the Ducks to want it when 00:47:06.289 --> 00:47:08.650 at least three of those games We'll see though 00:47:08.650 --> 00:47:10.590 coming up starting this Thursday want to talk 00:47:10.590 --> 00:47:12.289 about Oregon softball. Just have a couple minutes 00:47:12.289 --> 00:47:16.789 left here at the Cardinal classic and it was 00:47:16.789 --> 00:47:19.530 I would say a solid weekend for Oregon softball 00:47:19.530 --> 00:47:25.269 who had a nice game won against Cal State Fullerton. 00:47:25.570 --> 00:47:28.110 Elise Kolsky picked up the win. No earned runs 00:47:28.110 --> 00:47:30.010 in four but two thirds innings. Ayanna Shaw went 00:47:30.010 --> 00:47:32.150 three for three. We talked about that on Friday. 00:47:32.150 --> 00:47:34.230 Saturday double header against Cal State Fullerton 00:47:34.230 --> 00:47:37.389 in the first game. Maddie Milhorn gave up a couple 00:47:37.389 --> 00:47:39.989 runs. Oregon did good job, played contact softball, 00:47:40.010 --> 00:47:43.369 put together a big four run third inning. So 00:47:43.369 --> 00:47:46.619 they win. that game and then Big run rule victory 00:47:46.619 --> 00:47:48.920 over Kentucky in their second game on Saturday. 00:47:48.940 --> 00:47:51.260 Kalen Jones went three or four from the leadoff 00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:53.340 spot. But then let's talk about Stanford. Spencer 00:47:53.340 --> 00:47:55.199 Taylor got the start again for that one after 00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.920 she went five scoreless against Kentucky. Career 00:47:57.920 --> 00:47:59.719 performance from her there didn't have as good 00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:02.639 a performance allowed four runs, three earned 00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:04.780 in her three and two thirds innings, only two 00:48:04.780 --> 00:48:07.699 strikeouts and one walk. Oregon threatened in 00:48:07.699 --> 00:48:09.400 this game. They threatened big in the second 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:11.679 with Maake, but they just couldn't get it going. 00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:13.840 I think that we just got to start talking about 00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:18.150 this team and You know, I'm sure they've had 00:48:18.150 --> 00:48:20.869 games against teams that are lesser competition 00:48:20.869 --> 00:48:23.389 that they've obviously been able to do well against. 00:48:23.610 --> 00:48:25.630 But it's time to start beating some of the big 00:48:25.630 --> 00:48:28.530 teams. And it's one of those things where Oregon, 00:48:29.170 --> 00:48:31.869 they certainly want to be able to compete with 00:48:31.869 --> 00:48:34.349 the best. And that's why they have scheduled 00:48:34.349 --> 00:48:35.909 their schedule the way they did. They have a 00:48:35.909 --> 00:48:43.559 lot of hard games. So I expect Oregon at... I 00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:45.579 expect Oregon to bounce back from this one in 00:48:45.579 --> 00:48:48.639 terms of what they've been able to do. So that's 00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:50.639 all the time we have. Man, the fastest, it's 00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.619 such a fast 60 minutes. Dom, appreciate you being 00:48:52.619 --> 00:48:54.880 here. Yeah, I loved it. And we'll have you on 00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:56.920 again soon. You'll be back on Thursday for the 00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.059 next show that you're here. But tomorrow on the 00:48:59.059 --> 00:49:00.940 fastest 60 minutes, we're gonna get Goose in 00:49:00.940 --> 00:49:02.380 on the program. We're still trying to figure 00:49:02.380 --> 00:49:04.460 out a guest. At some point with this week though, 00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:07.500 we will have Eric Sorkison from D1 Baseball. 00:49:07.780 --> 00:49:10.369 So. Dom, great show today. Danny will be back 00:49:10.369 --> 00:49:12.630 on Thursday once again as Oregon softball and 00:49:12.630 --> 00:49:14.710 baseball are back in action. So put a smile on 00:49:14.710 --> 00:49:16.809 your face and someone else's face because they 00:49:16.809 --> 00:49:20.449 deserve it and so do you. Peace. Peace y 'all.
