Fourth quarter of the program begins right now as we finish strong here on a Friday. Hour number 20 of the program this week. Still to come. Still going to give you Alex Schiffer. Straight out. There's still more? Still more. Straight out of San Antonio, Texas. Of course, you'll hear the NBA Finals.
Chapter 2: What insights does Charles Barkley provide about the NBA Finals?
Game 2 right here on Sports Radio 810 WHB. Pre-game starts at 7. The game. is at 7.30. And, of course, this weekend we've also got Rock Chalk Baseball as Kansas taking on Oklahoma in the Super Regional Saturday at 5. For that, Sunday's game as well, if necessary, a game on Monday. I think we just take the day off. Isn't that how it works?
I think we're going to first pitch at 2.30. Definitely rooting for a split of the first two. Is that in play?
Probably not. We don't want to disappoint Chad. I agree.
Chapter 3: How is Alex Schiffer's perspective on the Knicks and Spurs series?
Not let him hear his beloved Jayhawks. Rock, chalk, Jayhawk. There it is. There's a Mizzou guy rooting for the Hawks.
I'll be in a pickle then because I don't want Kansas to lose and then have to play a third game.
I don't care if they win or lose. I just want to have the day off. You just need the third game. You need a split. Very specific. But the last time this worked out for me, they won the national championship. So I think I want to root for that.
Okay. All right. So we got that going for us.
Chapter 4: What factors contribute to the Knicks' success in the playoffs?
We'll see if that ends up happening. Let's hear a little bit of Royals baseball. We start with Josh Rojas. He ended up having quite a day yesterday and last night.
So we had a game at 12 a.m. today or 12 p.m. So, yeah, it was like the fourth, fifth inning when I got pulled from the game. Packed up my stuff, got my stuff from the hotel, got on the flight, got here. I actually texted my buddies on the way. When I landed, I saw that it was delayed. So I was like, I might get in this game tonight.
So it'll be the first time I got in two separate games in two separate states. It was a good time. I mean, the craziest part was they actually tried to get me on a flight at 3. Didn't make that one.
Chapter 5: How does the Knicks' coaching change impact their performance?
They said I was 7 minutes late to check my bags. So then my next flight was at 8. So I was at the airport from 3 o'clock to my flight boarded at 7.20. So, yeah, I mean, there was nothing I could do. I mean, we were going to try to get here by, you know, around first pitch. Didn't work out that way. And then I thought I'll probably miss the game.
And then with the hour delay or so, I was able to make it here. Yeah, just a crazy day. You know, I was just glad I could cap it off with a hit and an RBI there. Got a favorable matchup. You know, I pinch hit at the right time, got a good matchup, and luckily produced. A couple things.
First of all.
Brought one back against the pitcher, back up the middle on the ground.
Chapter 6: What role does Carl Anthony Towns play in the Knicks' strategy?
I see no problem with sitting in an airport for four plus hours.
Because you've scheduled it on purpose for some ridiculous reason.
Yeah, it was finances. But I'm with him there. That was subtle. I'm with it. But can you imagine when he was sitting there? waiting for his flight, going, I'm going to get a ninth inning two-run base hit to win the game for my team three hours from now.
Well, a guy playing and getting ā Playing in both AAA and the big leagues in the same day. You got to go back to 23. 19. No, I'm sorry. 2023. I guess it's not that far back.
Chapter 7: What adjustments do the Spurs need to make for Game 2?
All the way back to Matt Walner in 2023. That's how far back.
And for the record, he was flying from Columbus, Ohio to Minneapolis. That's why it was a pretty short flight. He was flying from. wherever else. I mean, I don't know what's the furthest Omaha team would have to play from Minneapolis. Columbus, Ohio to Minneapolis is not as short as you might think. Not short, but I'm not sure.
You're talking about almost Pennsylvania to... But if they're playing some team down in Texas, I mean, it would have been a little tougher to get to Minneapolis in time to play in a game, even with the delay.
Matt Cotrero, the new manager for Josh Rojas. He's not new to the Royals, but for Josh Rojas, his new manager, said Rojas is a pro.
We saw the at-bats he took all spring. It's not like he's got over five years in the big leagues. That's still pretty different circumstances to show up in the middle of the game and get the game-winning hit, but I feel really good about it.

Chapter 8: What predictions are made for the outcome of the series?
That's why you listen to David Leske as well. David Leske, about a week and a half, two weeks ago, started talking about Rojas maybe getting a shot here before long. And people he'd been talking to said this was kind of in the works and on the way. Royals win last night, a game that they gave up a run in six consecutive innings to start the game, end up in a 6-6 tie.
Going to the ninth inning, Quattrero took us through that busy ninth inning.
I mean, Salvi got us going. Big pinch hit from Lane. Great bunt from Isaac. And then Mikel, you know, that's a tough matchup. You know, we're going to bet on him. You know, Massey left on left against Rodgers is tough. Lawrence against Mikel is tough, too. But he was patient, loaded him up. And Rojas, you know, gets the 3-1 and puts a good swing on the ball.
And, you know, thankfully it went up the middle. So, you know, there was a lot of stuff going on in that inning, but guys really came through. Yeah.
Three pinch hitters. Went two for two with a walk. A run scored and two RBI. Matt Quattrero came through. Not bad. Yeah. That's who came through on that one. Pushed all the right buttons.
Game gets closed out by Alex Lang. Quattrero liked what he saw from Lang in that closer roll.
He's got good stuff. You know, looking back, I mean, he's had a lot of opportunities, a lot of saves in his career. I think he kind of thrives in that moment. You know, so thankfully he was able to execute there. Some really tough pitches that Buxton laid off. Good at bat from Caratini, too, but he keeps coming at you.
Had a 26-save season for the Tigers three years ago, so he's got the career 3-7-7 ERA. He's kind of new to the Royals, obviously, this year, but he's got a little bit of pedigree.
Yeah, it's not his first time on a big league mound. No. It's not his first time in that situation. So you think that, okay, there's a chance that if he can, whatever you've got to perfect, he's got velocity, he's got the things you want. It just has never come together fully for him.
