57
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: host Bez, we're recording on gaggle Land. Let's take a

58
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: look around the grounds.

59
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: In Bob sled Ossie Bob Sledder. Bree Walker has kicked

60
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: off the International Bob sled season in style, securing a

61
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: bronze medal on the newly rebuilt Olympic track in Cortina.

62
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: Dan Petsal nice that where is that? That is in Italy?

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Remember we got our pasta?

64
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, that's how does it work? Is it

65
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: across two locations?

66
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: I believe so yes.

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I've been wondering about that every time the upcoming Olympics.

68
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I think at it? Is it Milano Cortina?

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: I believe so yeah. It sounds like a car an

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: old one.

71
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: Let's see this is my black and white TV days

72
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: it is anyway, that track is the venue for the

73
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Olympic Winter Games, which will be here

74
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: before we know.

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: It's very exciting.

76
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: Walker opened with a strong first round of fifty nine

77
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: point eighty five seconds, placing her fifth in the first

78
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: heat in a second each. She de livered the second

79
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: fastest time of the final run to give her a

80
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: combined total of one point fifty nine point six to

81
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: three and a thirteenth career podium finish. The batter for

82
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: silver came down to me fractions of a second, with

83
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: Walker finishing just point oh one seconds behind Casha.

84
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: Love of the USA. That is just such a tiny

85
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: so tiny's very minute, bit of a minute.

86
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: That's a brutal sport. Yes, a minute. She should have

87
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: a second really.

88
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: Tucked her little helmeted head in a tiny out a bit.

89
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't message and give us.

90
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: I also think that you know how you're going to

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: get tense you do this.

92
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: But also so she's not on a skeleton.

93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: She's on a bob. Oh yeah, she's in a bole

94
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: going so mixing up my sliding sports.

95
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I was really trying to get the visual there of

96
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: the neck and then I was like, hang on.

97
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: Imagine if you threw yourself out of the bob slid

98
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: like like the bikers throw the bike across the line.

99
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: How they go backwards and the bike goes forwards.

100
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: Germany's law Nalty claimed gold, throwing her bob sled over

101
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: the line and edging out Walker five point one six seconds.

102
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: All the technical sports advice, you've come to the right

103
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: place in AFLW. Holy moly, that was a game.

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: I missed it.

105
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: It was a game. Yeah, I probably should have an adjective,

106
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: but it was awesome. I thought I really thought the

107
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: D's were going to get it done.

108
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah I had.

109
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: I kept an eye on the score, but I was

110
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: out and I missed it, but took us through it.

111
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: I was I saw something.

112
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: I think the D's shared leading after winning their SEI

113
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: final last weekend, and it was kind of the message

114
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: of why not us?

115
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: And I guess that why not us.

116
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Message probably in behind closed doors meant a lot of things,

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: but to me, it meant, well, why shouldn't we be

118
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: the one to break North's winning winning streak?

119
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Which I would have picked them to be the one,

120
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: And they obviously went pretty close to doing it, and

121
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: they had They were leading for most of the game.

122
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I think it was was at thirty two thirty at halftime,

123
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: it was a really tight contest. Like even seeing the

124
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: stats at halftime, like pressure was really similar, really similar

125
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: level of disposals and handballs, and I think it was

126
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: like fifty to fifty territory split. Interesting for time and

127
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: forward half like it was kind of it was quite

128
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: amazing how well balanced the two teams were, and just

129
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I think just watching the game, to me, the level

130
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: of skill execution across the board from both these teams,

131
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: like they're just good. They're just good footy players, aren't they.

132
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Good game of footy, good game of foot So the

133
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: D's got out to a really fast start, they led

134
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: until three quarter time. Yeah, Northolman came back in that

135
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: fourth quarter to claim a forty six to thirty six

136
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: point victory. We've got a point here to discuss the

137
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: week off conundra. You know, do you can you win it,

138
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: win the flag without the week off?

139
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: Has it? What are the stats? Do we know? Has

140
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: anyone done it?

141
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure? Well let's go with no.

142
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: But I kind of want to play Devil's advocate because

143
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: everyone says the week off is important, and I guess

144
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: to this point you would say that the Kangars finished

145
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: stronger because they had a week off and they were

146
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: fresher when they got to the fourth quarter. But the

147
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: flip side of that is these were running off last

148
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: week's good result and they started quicker.

149
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

150
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: Right, the Kangars took time to get going because they'd

151
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: had a week off.

152
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

153
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: I feel that there's a bit of pros and cons

154
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: for both.

155
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. I don't know if I've ever

156
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: had a week off.

157
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: What about when the Baker's got to the Grand Final,

158
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: don't you?

159
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I just I was trying to think

160
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: of that exact thing. I feel like the final series

161
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: was shorter back then.

162
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because I was actually thinking about it the other day,

163
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't remember the semi finals. I

164
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: remember all of a sudden, we're like, oh, we're going

165
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: to to watch Climb in the Grand Final.

166
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually can't regiscine it happened. It really happened

167
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: quite fast. And then the following year we beat Brisbane

168
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: in either a pre lim I think a prelim. Does

169
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: it go semi prelim or prelim semi semi prelim semim No,

170
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: but we didn't win the game to make it into

171
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: the Grand Final. Anyway, we beat Brisbane and then the

172
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: whole world shutdown because of COVID. So that that's my

173
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: finals experience. Yeah, that no one needed to hear about.

174
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: But pretty much I haven't had the week off, but

175
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: I often think about it and it would make me

176
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: a bit nervous about losing momentum. I think where it

177
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: has its benefits, as if someone has niggles, funniest star

178
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: player has some issues coming off the back. But then

179
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: in this game, there was a lot of pickle juice

180
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter for both sides.

181
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, was it hot?

182
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: It was quite funny. The commentators were talking about how

183
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: hot it was and they were like, gosh, the conditions twenty.

184
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Four degree spoiling, absolutely sweltering.

185
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: Which I guess from Melbourne had gone on the weekend

186
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: before though it was like sixteen or something, wasn't it.

187
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty four weltering to swing.

188
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess to the point of the week off,

189
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: Like you said, there are pros and cons, and I

190
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: do agree. Like as war tars to finished first, the

191
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: women's wartars the last year, she's got lots of.

192
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: Not on the field.

193
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: We often get a week off, and it is that

194
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: it's that the physical aspect of it in regards to

195
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: freshening up anyone that has and niggles, that's very advantageous.

196
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Do you take that over potential momentum distraction and no? Yes,

197
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: what do you think it's doing it?

198
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, thinking.

199
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I think it's a case by

200
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: case basis. I think it's not a sweeping yes or no.

201
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Do we put it to the people, Yeah, let's do it.

202
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: Let us know what we got. Momentum killer or if

203
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: you're good enough, you'll find the momentum and you'll be sweet.

204
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the question. Carlson Bagger is sad?

205
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: So sad?

206
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Did you see that one?

207
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: No?

208
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: Also away with my friends down in Jared go.

209
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: On doing what you do best, wine, not surfing wine.

210
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Brisbane were just really good and I think they just

211
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: shut down Carleton's uncontested possession game. The pressure ratings again

212
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: were super high, so it was it was pretty scrappy

213
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: early and then I think it was in the third

214
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: Brisbane just went on an absolute tear and they they

215
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: just were the better team. So it unfortunately just really

216
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: separated the school line. It's not the word I was

217
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: looking for.

218
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: Sixty seven to thirty two in Brisbane's seventh Grand Final

219
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: in the competition's tenth season.

220
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Boring, Okay, kidding Brisbane. Sorry, we'll see you tonight at Trivia.

221
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: We love Brisbane.

222
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: In some softball news, the Aussie Spirit, the Stone women's

223
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: softball team I currently tied at two games apiece in

224
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: their six game series against Chinese TIPEI. Now just a

225
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: little quick refresher on softball for those of you that

226
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: didn't play elite school girls softball like Chloe and I

227
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: did as children.

228
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: Did you play softball?

229
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't say elite school girls. I definitely play position.

230
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: I didn't pitch.

231
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: I was a pitcher or second base.

232
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: I was definitely a catcher in baseball.

233
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: Oh god, you're too tall to catch.

234
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how my hips ever bent like that.

235
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: I used to can't enford it. So the little hand signals.

236
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't I think the three down is a curveball,

237
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: one down to a fastball, and the rest I'd be

238
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: making up.

239
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know any So you've done really well there.

240
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,479
Speaker 3: Back to softball.

241
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: So softball is played by two teams, nine players each,

242
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: and I guess the aim of it is to score

243
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: more runs than your mates.

244
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: Sorry that your opposition.

245
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: Yep, you score a run by hitting at the ball

246
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: and progressing around the four bases.

247
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: It consists of seven innings.

248
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: Each team has a bat until they've had three outs

249
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: and then they swap over, so that's it. In innings,

250
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: the fielding team tries to get the batters out through

251
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: various means, as in catching the ball, striking them out,

252
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: so you get like baseball three strikes or tagging a runner.

253
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 3: And yes you said, the.

254
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: Team that finishes after those seven innings with the most

255
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: runs wins the Spirits. They put off the most impressive

256
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: performance in Game two, coming back from five to one

257
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: down to take a six to five victory.

258
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 3: Tamika Whitefield got things.

259
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: For Australia started scoring a run in the first innings

260
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: before Chinese tape responded by with five runs by the

261
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: bottom of the second innings thanks to a home run

262
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: from Feng chen Lin, But the Aussies gradually chipped away,

263
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: scoring runs at the top of the fourth, fifth and eventually

264
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: two runs in the seventh to steal a dramatic victory.

265
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: Oh good, I got a question for you. Yes, you're

266
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: not going to be able to answer, but we'll put

267
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: it out there.

268
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: I wonder how many of these softball girls are transitioning

269
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: to baseball with the new league starting up. That's a

270
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: great question actually, Like I said, don't expect you to be

271
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: able to answer it. But so the difference between softball

272
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: and baseball, we're talking under arm pitching in softball.

273
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: Ball big a ball.

274
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: That's about it if you're talking about major differences. I

275
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: know there's definitely a lot of other nuanced differences, but

276
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: so baseball is an overarm pitch and a smaller ball.

277
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: I I saw Ellen Roberts, an Australian softballer, an event

278
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: the other day. We were having a chart. She's been

279
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: she's an Olympian, she's been playing professionally pretty much her

280
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: whole life. I think a lot of it over in Japan.

281
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't ask her this question, but

282
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: I also kind of get the vibe that softballers love

283
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: softball and baseballers love baseball. Oh.

284
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

285
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: It's a bit like rugby union players love reper union

286
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: and rugby league players rugby league. Until someone says, hey,

287
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll give you an extra fifty grand

288
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: a year to play this sport and you go, oh yeah, sure,

289
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: give me a smaller ball and an overarm pitch.

290
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: Did you put that question out so that you could

291
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: say that, did you feel like taking a stab at

292
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: rugby league today? No? Play on, Let's go next. In cricket,

293
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: the Sydney Sixers have ended the Hobert Hurricanes undefeated WBBL

294
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: season with an eleven run victory. The summers leading wicket

295
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: taker Heather graym four for twenty nine, came up with

296
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: a WBBL the real best figures to help restrict the

297
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: Sixers to just nine for one forty nine at the

298
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: close of the innings, but in the end it wasn't

299
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: enough to get the Canes over the line. The host

300
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: required nineteen runs from the last three overs with four

301
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: wickets in hand. Income Six's skipper Ashgardner, who dispatched of

302
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Hailey's silver homes for just six, Molly Strano for a

303
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: duck and Lawrence Smith for just one to help bowl

304
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Hobart all out for one thirty six.

305
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: That's impressing from Ash Gardener.

306
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: The victory ends the Hurricanes winning streak on five they're

307
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: equal longest in WBBL history. Meanwhile, the Perth Scorches have

308
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: taken home a one run victory over the Adelaide Strikers.

309
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: The Melbourne Renegades have claimed victory over the Sydney Thunder

310
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: with fifty three balls to spare, and the Brisbane Heat

311
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: remained winless after falling to the Melbourne Stars.

312
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: In WNBL news, Adelaide Lightning have clinched a thrilling ninety

313
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: nine to ninety three overtime victory against the Geelong Venom.

314
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: Steph Tailbert was everywhere in the sea sawing encounterate saw

315
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: thirty four lead changes?

316
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: How was that fleeing changes? What's an average in the game,

317
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: because obviously it happens a lot more than the other sports,

318
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: because it's like a bit like netball, where it's a

319
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: bit one for one.

320
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: Ish sixteen, scoring thirty two points as well as posting

321
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: nine rebounds and five assists.

322
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: That's Steph Albert.

323
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: By the way, Chloe's going to do some research and

324
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: not believe my randomly plucked number.

325
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Why would I not believe it?

326
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: I know, I said it with authority. Now.

327
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: The scores were tied at eighty four, all at full

328
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: time at triggering the first ot of the season, and

329
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: Steph Talbot who admitically wanted to be selfish delivered. Talk

330
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: to me about that moment in the end when you

331
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: are feeling on a streak and you know hot. I

332
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: guess the theory of just give me the ball. Ever

333
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: been in that mode?

334
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: Not a lot of times, but there is a time

335
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: that comes to mind. It's kind of cool. It's also

336
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of cool when your teammates also just know it

337
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: as well. Get it the ball, Get it the ball. Yeah,

338
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: I think it is. It's a pretty cool. It did

339
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: not happen that often for me, but when it did,

340
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: it was quite amazing.

341
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: You were just draining them from from halfway.

342
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: All right, Caitlin, Okay, lead changes, you want to know?

343
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: The average number of this is AI so could be inaccurate,

344
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: but let's go with it. The average number of lead

345
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: changes in a basketball game is not a widely cited

346
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: statistics statistic even but analysis of NBA game showed lead

347
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: changes are frequent and dynamic. For example, one game had

348
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: a record forty three, so I reckon mid thirties is

349
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: pretty high, and studies of scoring suggest a lead change

350
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: occause approximately every thirty seconds in a forty eight minute game. Huh,

351
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't even make sense. That means it's ninety six

352
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: is not mathing. That's not mathing anyway, So.

353
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: Sixteen it is.

354
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: I like it, so Steph Albert, as she said to you,

355
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean she wanted to be selfish. She fired seven

356
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: points to see out the win in ot It was

357
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: the high scoring match of the season, also helped by

358
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: Sania Fagan who hit twenty two points to go with

359
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: eleven assists and Dallas love Ridge who netted nineteen points.

360
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: Good to see Charlie hillback, Yeah, how good sixteen points

361
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: on her return from a knee injury for the Venom

362
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: and produce the moment of the game when she shot

363
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: while falling to score in the first quarter.

364
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Sixteen must be the number. In a bit of hockey news.

365
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: The final round of the Hockey one season has ended

366
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: in dramatic fashion, with the Perth Thunderstix defeeding the New

367
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: South Wales Pride six to five, handing the New South

368
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Wales side their first loss of the season. The results

369
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: season Thunder six catapult into fourth place, earning their place

370
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: in the next week's final series.

371
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: Or they had plenty to play for. That's thundersticks, Oh yeah,

372
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: not just their excellent name.

373
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Bears decides whether she likes hockey teams based on whether

374
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: their names are good and or appropriate for field hockey

375
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: and all ice hockey.

376
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: If they're not running up to ac DC, I'm not here.

377
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: On both sides. Went for Dad to open the match

378
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: with the scores locked three all at halftime, I'd back

379
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: too early in the second half to take the lead

380
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: before the thunder six scored three goals within twenty minutes

381
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: to claim victory. Okay, I've just said the score line,

382
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: but the part that I didn't say All six of

383
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: per six goals were all scored by Matti Ratcliffe.

384
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: Amazing.

385
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of amazing, Like we're not just talking like

386
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: a casual hat trick here, all six of your teams

387
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: winning six goals in an upset to qualify for finals,

388
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: and you've scored them.

389
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: So we're talking about feeling it earlier.

390
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, Maddie.

391
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: Ratcliffe had a hot stick.

392
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: Hot stick.

393
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 3: Get her the I was going to say, puck the ball.

394
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: So you get confused with the ice and there it's

395
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: the team names, isn't it.

396
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: It's just a ball, the hockey ball.

397
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, hockey ball.

398
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

399
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Get at the hockey ball get at the ball.

400
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: The best part actually was that, well there's two best parts.

401
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: But the second best part is that in the leading

402
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: goal scorers of the season, she was sitting middle of

403
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: the pack. She's only scored prior to this game two goals.

404
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: She's now the regular season's top goal scorer and two

405
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: goals ahead of her closest rival. Because she scored six goals.

406
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 3: In a game, they will haven't win his score six.

407
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 3: I reckon, I love that sport that it's not very

408
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: high scoring.

409
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: Is it a golden stick? It has to be like

410
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: a golden boot. Do they have a golden stick award?

411
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: It has to be hockey one. Can you let us know?

412
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 3: And if it isn't, we'll make one all right.

413
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: In some beach volleyball news, Australia's dream run at the

414
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: Beach Volleyball World Championship has come to a close after

415
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: Ossie young guns Steffi Fayesh and Jasmine Fleney went down

416
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: to the second seeds of Brazil to zip. The pair

417
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: of twenty year olds lost the first set fourteen to

418
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: twenty one and the second eighteen to twenty one to

419
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: about out in the round of thirty two, having progressed

420
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: the furthest of any of the Australian teams at the tournament.

421
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: In the final, Latvia's Tina Gradina and Anastasia Samolova trimed

422
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: as the new women's World champions, defeating the USA's Kristin

423
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: Nuss and Tarran Brusher in the final after a three

424
00:18:59,240 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: set battle.

425
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: It was not only Latvia's.

426
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: First ever World Championship title, but also the Central European

427
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: country's first ever World Championship podium.

428
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: Go How good was that?

429
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: That's cool? In football, the Wellington Phoenix teenager pvlock has

430
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: become the club's youngest ever goal scorer in a one

431
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: nil win over Melbourne Victory. At seventeen years and eighty days,

432
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: Lockboat broke the record set by Millie Klegg in twenty

433
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty three. He was seventeen years and eighty one days old,

434
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: the old one day old one day. In fact, the

435
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: teenager's first half goal was the difference as Wellington defeated

436
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Victory for the very first time in Ninja A League

437
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: history to climb from eleventh up to fifth on the table.

438
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: That's a nice little jump, sure is. Don't mind that?

439
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: In other A League women's results. Lauren Allen capped her

440
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: hundredth Ninja A League match with a goal as Newcastle

441
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Jets took down Western Sydney wonder as one nil. Camber

442
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,359

444
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: the Central Coast Mariners one nil.

445
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: And in some European football news, Ellie Carpenter did you

446
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: see that girl was nice? Put it in the chat.

447
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: Very excited Ellie Camberda helped Chelsea record a one to

448
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: one drawer against Barcelona in the Women's Champions League.

449
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: It was a very nice girl.

450
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: That Ossie gave her side the lead up to sixteen

451
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: minutes when she hammered home from the edge of the

452
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: ear after being put away by Aggie bebe Jones near halfway.

453
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: The draw actually saw Chelsea and Barcelona's previous one hundred

454
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: percent record in the Champions League.

455
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,359

Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Arsenal have come from behind to win two to

457
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,119

458
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: the opener for the Spanish side just before halftime, but

459
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: Alicia Russo pulled the Gunners level with a header in

460
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,320

Speaker 2: So then completed her brace with another head of fourteen

462
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: minutes later to seal the deal for the Raining champs.

463
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,680

00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: It will begin with four teams, Boston, New York, Los Angeles,

476
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: and San Francisco, with all games we played at.

477
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: A neutral venue in Illinois. That's an interesting decision that.

478
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Is kind of weird. Cool, four very cool locations to

479
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: have a team.

480
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: And then you're going to play games in Illinois. Doesn't

481
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: even say Chicago, so it might even be not sent

482
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: like bigtown Illinois.

483
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm like, you do what you need to do

484
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: to get the league up and running, but four serious

485
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: sporting marke.

486
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: Cities yeah, big markets.

487
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah interesting.

488
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some theory behind it, but I hope

489
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: that they do enough in those home markets to.

490
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Attract fans to travel to Illinois and connect.

491
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

492
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: Interesting. It'll consist of a four week regular season and

493
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: two week postseason, partitioned by an All Star game. Games

494
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: will last seven innings and be played with aluminium bats

495
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to wooden. What do they play in the MLB?

496
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: I think they have a choice, ah, between aluminium and wooden.

497
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: Absolutely made that up, but it just makes sense to me.

498
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: I think they choose between sixteen bats lead changes. Teams

499
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: will consist of fifteen to twenty five players. That's a

500
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: broad range, it sure is, and be restricted to a

501
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: total salary cap of US ninety five thousand dollars. Small steps,

502
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: Sorry I should be it's exciting.

503
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: It is exciting.

504
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: Exciting. We've had lots of people drafted, but that's a

505
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: really low salary cap.

506
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 3: Yep, small steps, but a step nonetheless.

507
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: Split that by twenty five.

508
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: People don't do the math.

509
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: It's a maximum of four grand.

510
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: Sounds like another sport, I know.

511
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. The league intends to broadcast it's games on a

512
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: national network instead of on regional sports networks. The twenty

513
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: twenty five w p b L Draft was completed in

514
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: six rounds, with each of the four teams selecting five

515
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: players per round, with a total of twenty players chosen

516
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: in each round and one hundred and twenty players selected overall.

517
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Where are the Aussies going?

518
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: Beds?

519
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: Nine of them? So to Boston the highest peak. Do

520
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: we have Takara Geldenho's to La, Caitlin Anon to Boston,

521
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: Molly Patterson to New York, we have Clara O'Sullivan and

522
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: also to New York, Madison Irwin to La. We have

523
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: Leah Cornish to Boston, Alibaber to Los Angeles, l D

524
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: O'Sullivan and to New York Chloe Atkinson. Takara Geldon, Who's

525
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: who became the first Austraint selected in the draft, said,

526
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: having this opportunity in front of me is such a

527
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: surreal feeling and it fills my heart with so much

528
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: joy knowing that the next generation of girls get to

529
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: grow up fully, wholeheartedly believing that this is a real

530
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: possibility for them.

531
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: I really love that, and we obviously, you and I

532
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: don't know a huge amount about baseball. It's probably not

533
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: something we've been heavily involved with, but I think hearing

534
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: those words about how much it means to them is

535
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: obviously huge. I really do hope the fact that it

536
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: is called the Women's Professional Baseball League. I really do

537
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: hope from a salary cap perspective, that the league goes

538
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: well this year and that increases quite rapidly to support

539
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: these players.

540
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I hope the salary cap is only a

541
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: very very small portion of what they're spending on the

542
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: league in regards to professional development support for the players,

543
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: so they can get better and be the elite baseball

544
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 3: players that I know they can be. So Yeah.

545
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: I also I think to your point, the important point

546
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: in the in the news item was that they will

547
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: be broadcast on a national network.

548
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: So get them on the Telly.

Speaker 2: Let's get people watching them like that and get them

550
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: a bigger salary cap.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. Let's take a look at what
