Summary

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's disappointing series loss to Michigan State and subsequently falling out of the top 25 after an ever-so-brief appearance. Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the action, noting three positives and three negatives, including the variance in left-handed pitchers Caden Hunter and Mason Edwards as well as the Trojans' top left-handed hitter, Brayden Dowd, again putting a ball over the fence. After a break, USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the show to talk about trying to bounce back from a poor weekend at this point in the season along with how he assesses and adapts to fatigue late in the season, especially with the Trojans having to travel so much this season without a home field while playing in the Big Ten for the first time. Stankiewicz also discusses the struggles of Hunter and trying to work the Trojans' Friday ace back into shape as he deals with probably his first real failures in his baseball career. USC's head coach also talks about the unique challenges this time of year presents with finals leading into conference tournaments and the transfer portal about to open. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans stand after their first series loss since the opening weekend of Big Ten play and seeing their RPI slip down to No. 42. The podcast then previews USC's upcoming weekend of action with the Trojans heading up to Seattle to take on Eddie Smith's upstart Washington club.
