You're listening to one-on-one with DP. Brought to you by Beatrice Bakery on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. It was a good night at halftime. I don't care. Folks are going to be mad. We're talking to Husker, left-hander, Kyle Perry, and they head to Texas Wednesday, opening day, this Friday. What time is that game?

What time is that? I think it's going to be an evening game. Evening game, so folks won't miss anything. of it. They won't know. Folks at work. 630. And like I said, ESPN Plus if you want to watch it.

Everybody wants to watch it. Well, I figure everybody wants to watch it, but that's, you know, the only one that's on TV. We were actually working on making, we have to make the decision of whether we could do postgame shows for you guys like we do for basketball. But you have so many games. Yeah. I'd be so much. You have so many games. What would we do with doubleheaders?

It's tough for basketball. It's tough for basketball. Like, we're going to do. We're going to do a post game, like a baseball recap Saturday after either in between or after your double head. Yeah. Just to do that just because you kind of want to get the chops. And I think having a show on a Tuesday, it would be a motivator to do well on the weekend. So then it's not such of a catching hell on a Tuesday night sort of deal.

Yeah, because. Because the fans will be allowed to do that too If they want Those listeners, these listeners These texters are They're very nice They're Well here's it

They're they're a mirror To what you What kind of season you're having Yeah So if you're having a great year They're going to have a great year with you Of course If you're not

It is just It's What Shane Falco say It's quicksand You're just deep And the harder you fight The deeper you go

I'm scared of quicksand Yeah. Bees. I'm scared of bees. That's one of my favorite seasons movie. I was like, what are you afraid of? Bees. That, that's the thing, though, is that it's, uh, it's good to, uh, it's good to have that. That reminder that you, uh, you're going to get it's a direct, uh, reflection of, of your success through the, through the, uh, treatment you get from the fans. They will let you know. Thanks, Kyle. Yeah. or thanks Kyle. You can tell the difference. That's fine. That's what I'm telling you. You can take it one way and you can get mad at it or you can just go and do it and then have to be nice to you. You know what just, Rico, you know what just hit me?

You know what just hit me? What's up? In a few moments, the captain's going to show up and meet the captain. He's really, he really loves meeting other captains. And then he's going to challenge you to something. Push-ups. No, he's going to. to challenge something in his sport.

Oh, oh, he's going to want to take BP against you. No, no, no, no, hold on. Hold on. Okay, let's see. Okay. Is it going to be BP? Is he going to think he can throw harder than him? He's coming in. So, for Sean Jackson is like three-time national champion football.

Yep. He's captain national championship squad. Huh. He's the great connector to all things Husker. Okay. But whenever he comes in, so he goes from 11 and 2, but he comes to 1045. And when he comes in, so we had, we had, We had we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, Brent Banks from, from, from, from the big, these are big lines.

You know, he challenged him to do 25 pushups because Rishan does 25 pushups. He does 100 pushups per show. So he had the offensive lineman on the floor doing pushups and he was kicking their tail. When Rishon's like 45 maybe. That's impressive. 47. I like this guy already. Right?

But he's all energy. all like it just it he you can't not be hyped up when he when he's around yeah i like but he also just challenged like if we have athletes in here he'll challenge them to something in there so he challenged like he wanted challenged ashley skag into a to a three-point shooting contest and to go one-on-one he challenged a gymnast because he thinks he can put together four routines he can put together he can put together better four routine than them he thinks that he can beat nicklin hames and kensy knuckles with me in 2V2 sand volleyball, which I did not sign up for that,

but I guess I'm signed up for that. That's a lot harder speaking to Quicks, and that's a lot harder than you think. Yeah. He, he, what, the softball, he thinks he can get a hit off one of the softball pitchers. Yeah, so just,

I'm preparing you. So he's either, because he's going to be your biggest fan. Yeah. Like he's, first of all, he's going to love you. Good.

And he's going to be your biggest fan. So just plan on having this very large black man at baseball game, just screaming for Cowell. Perry at his and his vocal best. That's like like like like and nobody's going to say and also and also and also for Sean will be there. D. He's just talking about. Elbow. That was good. Elbow smash. We can do it. Let's go up and down this lineup. This one through eight, right? Like, tell me what you think it looks like for Husker fans, uh, this weekend. What do you think they're going to see? Oh, man. Well, you got, you got highlights up and down, man. It's, and that's

the best thing is like I can't even give you a definitive lineup right now it's just a bunch of it's just like you got you can mix and match like max is a third and you like we know that right yeah yeah you got max a third Bryce is short you're Griff behind the dish man you got like there are guys that have really solidified themselves in their position first base yeah well we'll see open we'll see second base would be a combination of folks in different rotation and that's the thing is like you got we have a whole bunch of guys you can plug in anyway which way. Cam can play outfield. You can put Cam any. He's a valuable chest piece. The corner alpha positions. What do you think? Because those are your guys. Like you're a lot.

So. So. So I think we're going to have a pretty quick outfield. Um, but honestly, right now with, like I said, with the definitive lineup, I'm not sure what it's going to be. I'm really so. So, so the coach in me, what, this. This is what I would do. And my pitchers loved it. My regular players, not so much. But because I had faith and trust that I prepared them for whatever, I would ask the pitcher, who do you want behind you today?

Yeah, of course. Like, who do you want behind you? Oh. Like, those are your dudes. Like, who do you want behind you? Right. Is that a responsibility you would want? Or is that a responsibility like, no, you pick the line up.

I'll just, I'll just do work. Yeah, that's, that's really my mindset on it. I mean, because, I mean, I trust all my teammates. Right. Well, because there are times I'm like, oh, you know, you're going to be down the way a lot. Right. You want to do it over there that does the work for you. Right.

Well, and I trust the coaches to draw something up if they have an approach for what, how they want me to attack a lineup and, and whatever will help us in that, that aspect. Like, they can feel free to do whatever the hell they want because. You're going to. do what you do. Yeah. So it's going to like, yeah, I'm going to be comfortable one way or the other. So you mentioned in old school that you don't like the, the, the mental game of scouting your opponents.

There are people who are so naturally intuitive to what needs to happen that scouting muddies the water. Yeah. Then there are those that need the analytics and the metrics. So, okay. You fall, in your mind, you fall firmly on the side. You know what? I need to know some. I don't need to know everything.

Yeah. And I'm not closed off to it one bit because seeing that bothers me quite a bit, like having to close mind to the development of the game. Because recently in the last few years, it's been a lot of like the analytics coming out and being used at the highest stages. And so that's been kind of a new look for. me growing like kind of into it even getting more serious into baseball and then like having it come along that way you're a creative guy rather than a little bit of guy right right so i am and so

i feel like i have a good gauge for the game just just naturally and so to see like guys looking deeper into like the analytics and the numbers well you know it's like it's it's head it's like it's a head scratcher for me sometimes but then it was you know go ahead like i know you talk to Griff about what the plan is right right here's what's working here's what's not working right based on your bullpen you'll you'll throw the bullpen and go listen um my cutter's not working this isn't working i don't have touch so i'm going to deal with this but do you talk the same way to other pitchers no i don't like i don't even like oh well i do it but i don't even like trying to tell like give like critique back to a teammate of mine right if he's if because

in and in my eyes it's like if a guy comes up to me and has like like constructive criticism about pitching is great i think everyone needs it everyone needs it but at the same time pitching is such a fine art of not trying to make drastic or uh adjustments like say you are who You know what I mean? So it's like, be who you are. And if you try to do that, then that's when it's a slippery slope of, you know, of thinking into it.

That's when you mix the, it's like the tornado, the mental and physical. And when they're not, you know, you know, uh, you know, join together in like a good, you know, a positive, uh, a positive light. Then it's like, um, I don't know. It's like you got, you got warm, wear, wear, and cold air. And then it's like, if you try to mix them together, it's this whole, you know, that's kind of how I see it. You know what I mean?

Yeah, no, I get you. Well, you're like a tornado. You're such a left-handed. Yeah. Like you are like the prototype. I know. It is, it is spectacular. Like the creative guy who sees things in dimensions that linear people miss.

Yeah. And Kyle gets frustrated when people don't see what he sees in advance. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I do. I do, but I get it. I get, I get all these different, you know, viewpoints on the game because it's not. And that like the game will never evolve to be the best it can possibly be if, you know,

you don't have all these different opinions and viewpoints and, you know, and, uh, and strategies to attack the game the way that other people do. But like I said, I don't like to that. That's spectacular. You got to take that to the MLB offices. Really? Like that's spectacular. Because here's like, you had to spend time watching the game.

Mm-hmm. Literally just watching the game. You couldn't participate in it. So you're just watching it. Now, your brain's evolving. And then you have to go out and affect based on all the things you've watched. Right, right. Like, that advantage for you is going to show up in ways that most people aren't going to understand.

Yeah. Because you're, no, no, no. I've seen this situation. Well, it's like. A hundred times. Yeah. Yeah. And like the way, and I'm not a baseball genius by any means.

I'm not. I'm not. because I feel like I get people. Okay, so this, I'll tell you one way this helps me. I feel like I get people and I understand people, right? And so it's almost when a hitter's in the box, I can almost tell what he's thinking and feeling. Just from just by just by being 60 and a half feet away from him.

Like I can feel a guy's mentality. And that's when like you get a guy with all this like plate presence and like, and is just a, you know, bad MFer, right? step in there and you can kind of feel him, right? But say there's someone that's not, you know, that's a little timid in there, you can feel it. Yeah, he was sitting on the Yon-Dex circle. He doesn't see you well. He's not reading you well.

And so say you're going through a lineup more than once. He comes back in after you dominate him that first at bat and you can just, you can feel him even more so. And so like, and it comes in with like counts in the at bat. You can feel if a guy, say you got a guy down O2, you just know you got him wrapped around your finger. Are you a finish him guy Or you, uh, let me, let me work on some stuff here. I love

So like finish him like you get a guy down oh two Down O two. Look, I don't want to waste any more pitches. I'm just going to give me. Well, I mean, I'm going to try my best to attack him. And like I said, that way that I like to play like mine games. That like, and it sounds way too deep. But like it's like I like try to say like, what is he expecting here? Okay, I'm going to do the opposite.

Yeah, yeah. Or there'll be times where I say, what does he? expecting here? Okay, I'm going to give them that. And let's just see who's better. Right. So it's like, I don't, I don't know. I like in, like you said, man, lefties are weird and I totally, I totally embrace that. And I'm not, I'm not shameful. I'm going to go off on. I think for Sean's a lefty too. I'm right. I right. And I write left hand. I do everything else right handed. Weirdo. Um, sorry. Yeah. You and your weird hair. You're weird. Thank you. We'll, uh, we'll toward the break. We'll close out one of the Cal Perry. Uh, and set up everybody for the Captain Show at 11 with for Sean Jackson. We'll be right back. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch.
