Speaker 1: Thursday edition of The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Wilson,
0:08
Speaker 1: Bill schmid armand Sarian Huddle Up with you smart, good
0:12
Speaker 1: looking listeners listening to us on nine to twenty Milwaukee,
0:14
Speaker 1: ten seventy in Madison, everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, streaming live,
0:18
Speaker 1: Facebook x and the youtubees. They're getting ready for a
0:22
Speaker 1: victory parade, a Good Morning America parade, pandemonium in New
0:26
Speaker 1: York City with the Knicks going through the Canyon of Champions.
0:29
Speaker 1: And as with all things in sports, there are complaints
0:33
Speaker 1: because even in a city, the arguably best city in
0:37
Speaker 1: the world, city that never.
0:38
Speaker 2: Sleeps, one of the most famous, let's say that they.
0:41
Speaker 1: Have, they're limited on space for this parade route, the
0:45
Speaker 1: Canyon of Champions, the ticker tape. It's gonna be awesome,
0:48
Speaker 1: it's gonna make great visuals. But there are people qued up,
0:50
Speaker 1: and it's two hours before the parade, and they're full.
0:53
Speaker 1: The pens where people are standing are full, and the
0:56
Speaker 1: cops are saying, if you're not already down here, you
0:58
Speaker 1: ain't getting in. And if you're in these pens, if
1:01
Speaker 1: you leave, you ain't getting back in.
1:03
Speaker 2: So hopefully brought a water bottle.
1:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's like the ball drop on New Year's
1:09
Speaker 3: Eve where you can't go to the bathroom, so people
1:11
Speaker 3: wear diapers. You have to wear an adult diaper for
1:13
Speaker 3: this one, because you have to be loaded up and
1:15
Speaker 3: ready to go, because you've been waiting your whole life
1:18
Speaker 3: in a lot of these cases to see a parade
1:19
Speaker 3: like we were when when the Bucks won and Billy
1:23
Speaker 3: came through for me and came in early so I
1:25
Speaker 3: could go down there. But a championship parade is always exciting,
1:28
Speaker 3: and finally we get an interesting one compared to last year.
1:31
Speaker 1: KFC Barstool just posted. I know they like to keep tradition,
1:34
Speaker 1: and they have all the plaques and City Hall is
1:36
Speaker 1: there because that's where it ends, YadA, YadA. I think
1:39
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear they need to adjust this parade route.
1:41
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty six Yank twenty twenty six next doing
1:43
Speaker 1: the same parade as the nineteen thirty Yankees is asinine.
1:48
Speaker 2: Why is that street smaller now or is it tight
1:50
Speaker 2: or is it Manhattan not even know? It was very tight.
1:53
Speaker 4: Visuals and things that are seeing probably more people that
1:57
Speaker 4: want to take part too.
1:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can't do it in the city. You're
2:00
Speaker 3: not gonna do it in Staten Island, Like what do
2:02
Speaker 3: they want?
2:02
Speaker 2: No, it's not the New York Marathon or anything, but yeah,
2:05
Speaker 2: it is what it is. This is what's exciting about it.
2:07
Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna have you're gonna have to be
2:09
Speaker 3: overflow crowds.
2:10
Speaker 2: Isn't that people love about these events anyway?
2:12
Speaker 3: When there's shots of people making brag about how many
2:15
Speaker 3: millions of people came and you can't move and everything
2:18
Speaker 3: like that.
2:18
Speaker 4: It's the same as with anything else. Like you know,
2:22
Speaker 4: when they had nothing but space in Oklahoma City, that's the.
2:26
Speaker 2: Well or in Milwaukee.
2:27
Speaker 1: Milwaukee had a great, pretty good route, but there were
2:29
Speaker 1: probably people that were upset with their you know, their
2:32
Speaker 1: vantage point.
2:33
Speaker 2: And then you in Milwaukee ended with the rally, which
2:36
Speaker 2: was cool. That was yeah, that was the PJ. Tucker
2:38
Speaker 2: moment and all that. Yeah, it was cool. It was
2:41
Speaker 2: coming up on the fifth anniversary of that. It seems
2:43
Speaker 2: like that's longer. See, it seems shorter to me. It
2:45
Speaker 2: seems way longer to me than five years. Let's see.
2:48
Speaker 3: And then Chicago wud always do the whole Grand Park thing.
2:50
Speaker 3: They had their celebration there. I think the Milwaukee Parade
2:54
Speaker 3: route was interesting because it was there was part there
2:57
Speaker 3: were definitely parts that it was thin, and the buses
2:59
Speaker 3: were kind of moving quick, quicker than I think it
3:01
Speaker 3: was cruising. So we're getting But then when they turned
3:04
Speaker 3: from Wisconsin Vegas. That's right, Billy, they did. When they
3:07
Speaker 3: turned from Wisconsin down to water there was then a
3:10
Speaker 3: thick mass of people on that corner and that was
3:13
Speaker 3: what the best visual was of Gann's holding up the truck.
3:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, in my opinion, that was pretty cool. So at
3:19
Speaker 4: six am in New York they started queuing up, Yeah,
3:22
Speaker 4: they started, and they started chancing a beautiful, beautiful ass.
3:26
Speaker 2: So and we just asked us he now the villain.
3:28
Speaker 1: They wanted him to be the face of the league
3:31
Speaker 1: and you know, European guy, interesting cat, international appeal. And
3:34
Speaker 1: now if he's the villain, it doesn't hurt. It's not
3:36
Speaker 1: bad for business either, not a bad thing for business.
3:39
Speaker 4: No, and especially Drew at a time where I don't
3:41
Speaker 4: believe and you know we you've seen it now for
3:44
Speaker 4: eight years, they haven't had a repeat champion, they haven't
3:46
Speaker 4: had a dynasty. It's a sport that's been predicated on
3:49
Speaker 4: there being a throne to shoot at one to go
3:52
Speaker 4: after in the nineties, whether it was obviously Jordan just
3:56
Speaker 4: out of the Pistons and the Celtics, and when Jordan
3:59
Speaker 4: stepped away to go play baseball, the Rockets, like, you
4:01
Speaker 4: always have the one thing to shoot for. Uh, now
4:05
Speaker 4: you shoot at Wenby because I think there's a lot
4:06
Speaker 4: of folks that are gonna be trying to hate on
4:08
Speaker 4: that cat for a long time.
4:10
Speaker 2: And and part of it also is a tough This next.
4:14
Speaker 4: Team did something that I definitely didn't anticipate there would
4:17
Speaker 4: ever be something that made a New York team very likable,
4:21
Speaker 4: and that that was a block of space real estate
4:25
Speaker 4: that I did not anticipate would ever be opened.
4:27
Speaker 2: But I didn't think that was gonna be a spot.
4:29
Speaker 4: Instead, they're one of the more likable teams, and Jalen
4:32
Speaker 4: Brunson is one of the more likable guys in the league.
4:35
Speaker 4: They have a great story, the father son connection that
4:38
Speaker 4: it's he came and played this way against the worst
4:44
Speaker 4: possible team for him in that hero arc that the
4:47
Speaker 4: NBA was so desperately waiting to be able to throw
4:49
Speaker 4: upon him.
4:50
Speaker 2: They would have done this against Lebron five years ago.
4:52
Speaker 4: People still would have loved him throw them against the
4:55
Speaker 4: floor like he did to brunts, and people would have
4:56
Speaker 4: been celebrating that.
4:58
Speaker 2: And waiting for more of that.
4:59
Speaker 4: Instead did it to the guy that we all like
5:01
Speaker 4: and the little guy that now it looks like.
5:03
Speaker 2: You're picking on get this frenchman out of here post.
5:09
Speaker 2: It is pretty.
5:09
Speaker 3: Interesting how much that plays into it. Like I'd say,
5:13
Speaker 3: Wemby was pretty likable, obviously the villain thing turned all
5:16
Speaker 3: that stuff, but I think he still is. But then
5:18
Speaker 3: it's like we sent we tend to attract more gravitate
5:22
Speaker 3: towards the American stars more, and that's been a problem
5:24
Speaker 3: for the NBA and the NBA fans is international versus
5:26
Speaker 3: NBA stars.
5:28
Speaker 2: So Brunson, how all that change things?
5:30
Speaker 3: Because Brunson's legit right now obviously is a star, and
5:33
Speaker 3: he's obviously Americans. So Mike Witt on the YouTube comments
5:36
Speaker 3: uh said, I might be the minority, but I think
5:39
Speaker 3: Wenby's my new favorite player, only if you honest. Isn't
5:41
Speaker 3: a buck effort? Next? Oh, I just love that he
5:43
Speaker 3: has no love for the opponent. Sports seems more hate
5:46
Speaker 3: in my opinion. Now that's the flip side of it, right, So.
5:50
Speaker 2: Some people will.
5:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll value the fact that he like said, no,
5:54
Speaker 3: I'm not shaking hands, I'm not doing this.
5:56
Speaker 2: I'm not doing you know, because there were a bunch
5:58
Speaker 2: even though.
5:59
Speaker 3: Isaiah gets flacked out for not doing that with George,
6:01
Speaker 3: there were a lot of Pistons fans back then that
6:03
Speaker 3: loved that sort of bad boys kind of imagery.
6:06
Speaker 2: True, it was there lean into it.
6:09
Speaker 4: Well, you wanted to have something, they needed, they needed
6:12
Speaker 4: to have something otherwise, you know, teacher right, Pascal was
6:14
Speaker 4: just happened. I think there's uh there, there's a lot
6:17
Speaker 4: of love in sports, and that was also something that
6:20
Speaker 4: was celebrated about Giannis for quite some time.
6:22
Speaker 2: I don't need to work out with these guys. I
6:24
Speaker 2: don't need to go build some super team. Yeah.
6:26
Speaker 4: I don't need to go to man some trade to
6:27
Speaker 4: someplace and big market to go and get new stars
6:31
Speaker 4: to come play with me until I lose for five
6:34
Speaker 4: years after I win.
6:34
Speaker 2: Now, I will do it how I'll do it.
6:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, And part of the reason the lost because Jiannis
6:39
Speaker 1: was hurt a lot.
6:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of self cruel irony in there. Yeah,
6:44
Speaker 4: the cruel irony of it, and we should be prepared.
6:47
Speaker 4: I think most people are now if Jannis gets traded.
6:49
Speaker 4: Thanks for the memories. It was awesome, great ride. Yeah,
6:53
Speaker 4: we'll see when you come back.
6:54
Speaker 1: Hopefully we get something back, but we should be prepared
6:56
Speaker 1: because far have left. Roger left, Paul Mallator left back
7:00
Speaker 1: the day, you know, Prince Fielder left, DC Sabbathia left.
7:03
Speaker 1: Like when you get these heroes and you only it's
7:06
Speaker 1: only a temporary arrangement.
7:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Prince, I'm glad you throw that one in there, Drew,
7:09
Speaker 4: because Prince was for for me as the pair shaped youth.
7:13
Speaker 4: That was a tough one, but you knew that that
7:15
Speaker 4: one was kind of final, like that one was happening
7:17
Speaker 4: at the end of twenty eleven.
7:19
Speaker 2: And they didn't preemptively trade him like they wrote it out.
7:21
Speaker 2: Tried to win with them. We're doing everything we can.
7:24
Speaker 4: We're actually going to the uh you know, definition of pornography.
7:28
Speaker 4: We're gonna do it because you're gonna wake up on
7:29
Speaker 4: a Sunday morning and Lorenzo Caine and I'll see the
7:33
Speaker 4: Sescabar and a couple other folks are gonna go.
7:34
Speaker 2: To Kansas City. We're gonna get a cy Young Award
7:37
Speaker 2: winner as.
7:38
Speaker 4: All in as you possibly could go, and you let
7:40
Speaker 4: the chips fall where they may. I think that's the
7:42
Speaker 4: tough part about where at least I am with with
7:45
Speaker 4: the honest deal, the Bucks have done everything in anything
7:48
Speaker 4: possible to contend. They have done everything they could outside
7:53
Speaker 4: of spending seventy million dollars or whatever it would have
7:56
Speaker 4: been to have PJ. Tucker on the team when they
7:58
Speaker 4: lose to the Boston Celtics, you still had him at
8:02
Speaker 4: home up three too. Like I don't I don't fault
8:04
Speaker 4: the roster construction for that deal. Somebody needed to be
8:08
Speaker 4: able to match Jason Tatum's forty six in game six,
8:10
Speaker 4: so that there's a part. And then you had to
8:13
Speaker 4: get you know, Grant Williams in Game seven where he
8:15
Speaker 4: knocks down seven triples and that's why you get bounced
8:18
Speaker 4: like this is this is the part of it.
8:20
Speaker 2: So I struggled to say.
8:22
Speaker 4: That there's blame on the Bucks side, and when the
8:26
Speaker 4: grass wasn't as green as you thought it was, I've
8:29
Speaker 4: end up getting going so like it happens before, He's
8:32
Speaker 4: not the first guy to do it. I think the
8:34
Speaker 4: one part of it, and I wonder if there will
8:35
Speaker 4: be some Bucks fans that do that everything that you
8:39
Speaker 4: kind of were told wasn't gonna happen. Everything you told
8:41
Speaker 4: was different about Yohannest did end up kind of being true,
8:45
Speaker 4: like you end up getting at the end of the day.
8:48
Speaker 2: It's not gonna work here. Well, we're gonna go somewhere
8:50
Speaker 2: else where, like a.
8:51
Speaker 4: Lot of NBA superstars do, and those were villainized. This
8:56
Speaker 4: one at this point hasn't been because he hadn't been
8:58
Speaker 4: public about it. But I think we've seen behind closed
9:02
Speaker 4: doors and seen too many of the tea leaves to
9:03
Speaker 4: kind of.
9:04
Speaker 2: Know what what this has been.
9:05
Speaker 1: By the way, Jannis posted a picture of Nike shoes yesterday.
9:09
Speaker 1: I don't know this is the next line. There wasn't
9:11
Speaker 1: really an explanation. All white, but they're pretty sweet. They're
9:14
Speaker 1: looking to Oh yeah, they look pretty fresh, all white.
9:17
Speaker 3: The Kaitlyn Clarkshoe dropped. That's a big story too, So
9:20
Speaker 3: that's kind of interesting. I don't know if he is
9:22
Speaker 3: also very much enjoying this. You can tell online.
9:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can tell he's enjoying being the h being
9:28
Speaker 4: the girl that everybody's waiting to ask the problem like
9:30
Speaker 4: and and good for him, you should like he waited
9:33
Speaker 4: a long time for this wasn't recruited. Uh we didn't
9:35
Speaker 4: go to play college basketball, so it didn't go through
9:37
Speaker 4: the AAU circuit of that. Now is his moment where
9:40
Speaker 4: he gets to be the the.
9:42
Speaker 2: Banter of the town and and he's soaking it in.
9:44
Speaker 4: He hadn't calmed any of those conversations down at all.
9:48
Speaker 4: He could have tampened all of this down and hasn't
9:50
Speaker 4: for a reason. The Freak eight and Wolf Gray, those
9:54
Speaker 4: are Oh man, I wish you look. Have to like
9:58
Speaker 4: my favorite, the Honest edition. He's not gonna be a bug.
10:00
Speaker 2: This is terrible.
10:01
Speaker 3: And but Billy, I almost forgot about Grant Williams. Things
10:03
Speaker 3: were putting that back in my head. That's trauma right there.
10:07
Speaker 2: Oh man.
10:08
Speaker 1: All right, So time for a little Who's Hot Who's Not?
10:11
Speaker 1: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling Donovan
10:13
Speaker 1: Jorgenson employee owned for forty years. They dominate the way
10:17
Speaker 1: we do. So shout out to Donovan Jorgenson. Billy, who
10:19
Speaker 1: do you got Who's hot?
10:20
Speaker 2: Who's not?
10:20
Speaker 4: I was driving right behind at Donovan Jorgenson truck yesterday.
10:23
Speaker 4: That was a welcome to welcome site. Who's in the
10:26
Speaker 4: hot category. Well, his team did just win a title.
10:31
Speaker 4: He's gonna have the first parade as the owner of
10:33
Speaker 4: the team for the New York next But uh huh.
10:36
Speaker 4: James Dolan walked himself into some hot water yesterday as
10:39
Speaker 4: he appeared on w FA n rocking a Sweet Knicks
10:42
Speaker 4: cap celebrating the championship. Thought it was gonna be a
10:44
Speaker 4: crowning achievement instead. Well, mister Dolan, how are you gonna
10:48
Speaker 4: do it again next year? He said, we will. We
10:50
Speaker 4: cannot get into the second Apron. I don't know if
10:54
Speaker 4: we'll be able to do. We're gonna stretch. There's certain
10:56
Speaker 4: things in the NBA you cannot do that will be
10:58
Speaker 4: suicidal to do. One of them is the second Apron,
11:01
Speaker 4: one of the something that the Bucks found themselves in
11:03
Speaker 4: quite a bit. So James Dolan thought he was gonna
11:05
Speaker 4: go through for his victory lap there on WFAN. No,
11:08
Speaker 4: can't do, Sorry, Bud, this is not a support group,
11:12
Speaker 4: as Wfan let him know quickly yesterday, and he jumped
11:15
Speaker 4: himself right back into some hot hot water. He gotta
11:19
Speaker 4: love being able to see that outstanding also in the
11:22
Speaker 4: hot category for the well, the New York Mets roll
11:26
Speaker 4: through with Bobashett three for four yesterday. He has been
11:29
Speaker 4: on a tear as of late, and coincides with he's
11:33
Speaker 4: got five consecutive games of multi hits.
11:36
Speaker 2: Now.
11:36
Speaker 4: It sounds like Bobashett will opt out of his player
11:39
Speaker 4: option coming up this year, and also he must think
11:43
Speaker 4: his name's quite hot Drew. Speaking of player options, Trey
11:46
Speaker 4: Young is apparently declining one that I was gonna self
11:50
Speaker 4: report that he was going to accept forty eight point
11:54
Speaker 4: nine seven million dollars to play basketball for the Washington
11:58
Speaker 4: Wizards in twenty six twenty. Instead, Young will decline that
12:02
Speaker 4: he will become a free agent on Monday. According to
12:05
Speaker 4: Mark Spears of Ndscape and ESPN, how about that forty
12:09
Speaker 4: nine million dollars guaranteed walking away?
12:12
Speaker 2: We'll see now.
12:13
Speaker 4: Apparently the Wizards are still in the conversation. They traded
12:15
Speaker 4: for him last year from the Hawks, and I had
12:19
Speaker 4: no clue what the Wizards were gonna do. I didn't
12:22
Speaker 4: know if they were actually planning on having the number
12:24
Speaker 4: one overall pick, and Trey Young and Anthony Davis he said, actually,
12:28
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna help you guys out with that real quick.
12:30
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get a bout of here. I'm gonna get
12:33
Speaker 4: out of the nation's capital. Don't need to be a
12:35
Speaker 4: part of this whatsoever. Also in the hot category, you
12:37
Speaker 4: talked about it a lot this morning, Cooper Pratt two
12:39
Speaker 4: for four, finally gets himself his first RBI, his first run, scored,
12:43
Speaker 4: a couple of k's done't matter. And Christian Yellig and
12:46
Speaker 4: Jackson Turio hot with a each with a homer in
12:49
Speaker 4: the game yesterday. If you went to the Potawatomy sportsbook
12:52
Speaker 4: and put that together as a little two piece parlay
12:54
Speaker 4: on a home run parlay, you are very much hot
12:57
Speaker 4: coming up this morning.
12:58
Speaker 2: Hey, a big not for you guys.
13:00
Speaker 3: On a day after Messi scores three and Bape scores
13:04
Speaker 3: to Christiano Ronaldo helped scoreless again and looks like Portugal
13:09
Speaker 3: has a little Ronaldo problem that's cropping up again. And
13:12
Speaker 3: they had a draw yesterday with Congo, which and they
13:15
Speaker 3: were heavily favored. Congo scored late too, Yeah, they were
13:18
Speaker 3: heavily favored to beat them, had a draw and Portugal
13:22
Speaker 3: struggling and their star Christiano Ronaldo hasn't scored in his
13:26
Speaker 3: last five World Cup goal matches and in Portugal's past
13:31
Speaker 3: four matches in major competition, Ronaldo has played three ninety
13:34
Speaker 3: six of a possible four and twenty minutes and Portugal
13:36
Speaker 3: scored just once in the past two years. In all competitions,
13:40
Speaker 3: they've averaged one point nine goals per game when he started,
13:42
Speaker 3: in two point eight when he didn't, and then, of
13:45
Speaker 3: course that average was plumped up.
13:47
Speaker 2: By a nine to one win over Armenia last November.
13:50
Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, you got to someone has to the
13:55
Speaker 3: Ronaldo problem propping up as they're calling it here for
13:59
Speaker 3: Portugal a favorite in this World Cup, but were one
14:02
Speaker 3: of the favorites, but they are Their biggest star is struggling.
14:05
Speaker 3: And in an era and in a world where we're
14:07
Speaker 3: always fighting for goat narratives, the messy goat people are
14:11
Speaker 3: loving this because the Ronaldo goat people are always fighting them.
14:14
Speaker 3: And Ronaldo has been struggling and he hasn't scored, so
14:17
Speaker 3: there you go. I would say he's in the not
14:19
Speaker 3: category right now, and Portugal is in the not category,
14:22
Speaker 3: but especially Ronaldo who has not been scoring lately for Portugal.
14:27
Speaker 4: Harry Kane, the Three Lions man. Harry Kane had a goal.
14:31
Speaker 4: He came up big.
14:32
Speaker 1: The Three Lions got overcame their nerves down in Texas
14:35
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, put a statement win together,
14:38
Speaker 1: scoring four goals the first.
14:39
Speaker 4: Game today at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Georgia, South Africa,
14:44
Speaker 4: and a couple of teams that had some draws. Then
14:47
Speaker 4: they go out to Los Angeles, Switzerland against Bosnia.
14:51
Speaker 3: Throw the records out of those two get together and
14:53
Speaker 3: your accent there, Yeah, real stuff.
14:56
Speaker 5: The Equaliza, the Equaliza put it in the buck of
15:01
Speaker 5: the net against Kanada and broke in the hats of
15:04
Speaker 5: everybody at PC Place in Vancouver.
15:08
Speaker 2: What a classic? Great, What a classic. So that's gonna
15:11
Speaker 2: be good. So that's who's out? Who's not?
15:12
Speaker 1: Donovan Jorgensen shot out? Do we have a Superhero the day?
15:14
Speaker 1: Is anybody like that? So I think it's got to be.
15:16
Speaker 1: It's almost got to be retroactively Jalen Brunson, because they're
15:19
Speaker 1: having a Jalen Brunson lookalike contest in New York and
15:21
Speaker 1: there's hundreds of dudes walking.
15:23
Speaker 4: That's great one, Jalen bruns I was gonna throw Daniel
15:26
Speaker 4: Espino out from last night's Brewer game. Rarely does a
15:29
Speaker 4: Hero of the Day come on the visiting team However,
15:32
Speaker 4: he made his debut yesterday, major league debut after being
15:36
Speaker 4: a twenty fourth overall selection in the twenty nineteen MLB Draft.
15:42
Speaker 4: Twenty five years old, battled through three different arm injuries,
15:46
Speaker 4: including twice having to get shut down with shoulder capsule
15:50
Speaker 4: repair inter capsule repairs. Last night, came out, got his
15:54
Speaker 4: major league debut. Sadly was a little bit better than
15:58
Speaker 4: we would have anticipated.
15:59
Speaker 2: Graham, it wasn't even ready for it.
16:02
Speaker 4: And they kept showing the Espino family on the broadcast
16:05
Speaker 4: when he pitched the seventh in and cleaned three up,
16:07
Speaker 4: three down, two strikeouts in there as well. Grandma was
16:09
Speaker 4: eating ice cream, Mom was crying in the crowd, and
16:12
Speaker 4: Daniel Espino finally got his big league moment yesterday.
16:15
Speaker 2: That was cool. I saw that, loved it.
16:16
Speaker 3: Also a really quick shout out yesterday Travis Diener. I
16:20
Speaker 3: saw this on Carly Morandi's story and Chilling four. Travis
16:24
Speaker 3: Diener had his special basketball camp in Mechwan and surprise
16:28
Speaker 3: special guest Dwayne Wade. So that was cool to see
16:31
Speaker 3: Dwayne Wade showing up in Mechwan for Travis Deener's camp.
16:34
Speaker 3: Carly had a little bit of sound with them and
16:35
Speaker 3: interviews and stuff, really great stuff if you go find it.
16:38
Speaker 3: And it's just good to see those two continuing the relationship,
16:42
Speaker 3: staying close through all these years. I love it, you know,
16:44
Speaker 3: warms my goggles, you.
16:45
Speaker 4: Know, as you know, nothing Armon's heart and seeing Dwayne
16:49
Speaker 4: Wade hanging out with this boys from Marquette. But nothing
16:51
Speaker 4: warms our heart like seeing the superhero from Colonel Electric
16:54
Speaker 4: coming out and saving and making your lives a lot
16:57
Speaker 4: better and sometimes saving your bacon, whether it's by installing
17:00
Speaker 4: a standby generator lighting installation, helping you put some extra
17:04
Speaker 4: money in your pocket. With some solar panels on that roof,
17:06
Speaker 4: superheros at Current Electric will have everything up to code
17:09
Speaker 4: ready to go.
17:09
Speaker 2: Call Current dot com treue. That's the place to be.
17:11
Speaker 2: That's the place, no question about it.
17:13
Speaker 1: This is the place to be because we get to
17:15
Speaker 1: sit here, chop it up, talk about whatever pops into
17:18
Speaker 1: our brain at any time, and we get to talk
17:21
Speaker 1: to Hunter Bombguart because he is coming up next our

18:15
Speaker 1: an interview with the Mis to promote tonight on Milwaukee's
18:19
Speaker 1: Baseball Tonight. Yeah, exactly.
18:23
Speaker 6: A myriad of questions, myriad of topics we covered, from
18:25
Speaker 6: William Contreras's impact to Pat Murphy's impact on him to
18:29
Speaker 6: how he stays grounded himid the hype?
18:31
Speaker 2: How you know, I don't know.
18:34
Speaker 6: We covered some pokemont Gonight was last night, We had that, right, I.
18:37
Speaker 4: Was just gonna say, Hunter, it doesn't right now, Miss
18:40
Speaker 4: is going on all these podcasts, He's bunting around. He's
18:43
Speaker 4: becoming a little bit of a sensation, understandably so, but
18:46
Speaker 4: it feels like that's the fruit that does have to
18:49
Speaker 4: get cut off the low hanging camart, right, you gotta
18:51
Speaker 4: get some kind of Pokemon one in there. It being
18:54
Speaker 4: Pokemon Go night. Did he get the hat? Is that
18:57
Speaker 4: is there at least a little bit of a tease?
18:59
Speaker 4: Did he try to buy the ticket package for his
19:01
Speaker 4: friends to be able to get himself one of those
19:03
Speaker 4: sweet hats that they were giving away.
19:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, see, we need to follow up on that today.
19:07
Speaker 6: I know he he said his fiance is more into
19:11
Speaker 6: Pokemon Go than he is, actually, so he's he didn't
19:13
Speaker 6: get as much into Pokemont Go specifically, but he did
19:18
Speaker 6: obviously he's a Pokemon guy overall, So I'm sure he
19:22
Speaker 6: enjoyed the little symbols that were for the outs and
19:24
Speaker 6: strikes and balls last night.
19:25
Speaker 4: Overall, He's probably he was probably playing on the Game
19:28
Speaker 4: Boy Color that was could be dude, that was where
19:30
Speaker 4: Pokemon really.
19:31
Speaker 2: Lived in the Game Boy Color.
19:33
Speaker 4: Game Boy Advance A little bit but on the old
19:35
Speaker 4: color Pokemon Red.
19:37
Speaker 1: All right, hunter, here's one I don't know. I'm gonna
19:39
Speaker 1: throw you a high, hard one.
19:40
Speaker 2: Right now?
19:42
Speaker 1: Where does Cooper pratt Land already in the top Is
19:45
Speaker 1: he in the top five of interviews in the clubhouse
19:47
Speaker 1: right now?
19:47
Speaker 2: Already two games in?
19:50
Speaker 6: We were talking about that last night, and boy, there
19:54
Speaker 6: is there is an argument for it for sure, because
19:57
Speaker 6: he's just he's we love it. I mean, he's he's
19:59
Speaker 6: got animated. He describes each detail of every story asking
20:04
Speaker 6: about his first hit, and he's going to tell you about,
20:06
Speaker 6: you know, not only the hit, but running up the
20:08
Speaker 6: line and getting the first base and every detail of that.
20:11
Speaker 6: And then he's kind of like, you know, we were
20:13
Speaker 6: kind of comparing it's just like just like a kid
20:16
Speaker 6: in a candy store, kind of that attitude the last
20:19
Speaker 6: couple of days of right of like I'm here and
20:21
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, this is all happening, and it's just
20:23
Speaker 6: kind of like it's not that he doesn't know how
20:26
Speaker 6: to process at all, but it's just all kind of
20:27
Speaker 6: coming at him at once. And he had, of course
20:30
Speaker 6: the debut one night and then the following night last night,
20:33
Speaker 6: is that the day he gets basically everything, the hit,
20:37
Speaker 6: the RBI, the run, the stolen base, and so last
20:40
Speaker 6: night he was even maybe even more animated than he
20:42
Speaker 6: was the first night. But boy, it is he's been
20:46
Speaker 6: fun to talk to the last couple of nights. And
20:47
Speaker 6: he'll give you good answers. He'll give you thoughtful answers.
20:49
Speaker 6: He'll think about your question and really give you an
20:53
Speaker 6: insight into what he's thinking at specific moments.
20:56
Speaker 2: So I think he's I think he's top five. Yeah,
20:58
Speaker 2: I really do. That's a that's a good point. Is
21:00
Speaker 2: I love it? What's gonna be a tough one to beat?
21:02
Speaker 4: I mean when when you're able to also then add
21:04
Speaker 4: it in with the excitement and the production, it'll work.
21:08
Speaker 4: The play on the field has been good from him
21:10
Speaker 4: as well. I like you see the foot kind of
21:13
Speaker 4: get stuck in there and fire it over the head
21:15
Speaker 4: of the first basement. You could tell there were some nerves,
21:18
Speaker 4: but Bryce terrang as well, being a gentle soul next
21:22
Speaker 4: to him, a little quieter soul in there, a little
21:24
Speaker 4: difference on the middle infield, however, being able to see
21:28
Speaker 4: the arc of how his bat came along after but
21:31
Speaker 4: the glove continues to play how much do you think
21:34
Speaker 4: that's gonna play into his development of seeing somebody that
21:37
Speaker 4: he's gonna work with every single day who probably went
21:39
Speaker 4: through a lot of the same, maybe slower development offensively
21:43
Speaker 4: than what some people would like.
21:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, both nights, I mean, Cooper Pratt got a front
21:48
Speaker 6: row seat to some amazing plays. First night was the
21:50
Speaker 6: double play where groundball to Bryce Terrang, he takes the
21:53
Speaker 6: runner throws to first. And then last night he made
21:55
Speaker 6: a great play coming across the base and doing that
21:58
Speaker 6: jump throw and Cooper Prat gets a first you know,
22:01
Speaker 6: a first row seat to that every single night, and
22:04
Speaker 6: I think it is going to help him immensely. Pat
22:07
Speaker 6: Murphy talked about that a little bit before the game yesterday,
22:09
Speaker 6: talking about how he thinks Bryce Terrang is going to
22:12
Speaker 6: have an impact, you know, in his way, in whatever
22:15
Speaker 6: way that is, whether it's leading by example, whether it's
22:18
Speaker 6: some you know, some comments here and there. Terrang talked
22:20
Speaker 6: about it after his debut Tuesday night, talking about how
22:23
Speaker 6: he just wanted to be there for him and whatever
22:25
Speaker 6: questions he had, whether it's signs, whether it's what just
22:28
Speaker 6: whatever it is, know that he can come to him.
22:31
Speaker 6: And Cooper Pratt said last night to Sophia minute on
22:33
Speaker 6: the field, like, these guys have been great. It's an
22:35
Speaker 6: open door policy. I can ask you know, any question
22:38
Speaker 6: that I have, and they've been really great. So I
22:40
Speaker 6: think it's going to help his development a lot. And
22:43
Speaker 6: it's wild to think about Bryce Terrang in that, you know,
22:46
Speaker 6: kind of I because he has only been up here
22:48
Speaker 6: for a few years, but he definitely when we talked
22:50
Speaker 6: to Cooper Pratt, and their lockers are right next to
22:53
Speaker 6: each other, so they are going to be spending not
22:55
Speaker 6: only time on the field together, you know, in their positions,
22:58
Speaker 6: but also you know, Cooper Pratt's lot is right in
23:01
Speaker 6: that line of infield. Their tease Pratt Terrang, Yell. It's
23:05
Speaker 6: also by Yelich two. I mean that that is going
23:08
Speaker 6: to help him so much. And and and you know
23:10
Speaker 6: I've seen him talking to Yelly a little bit as well.
23:12
Speaker 6: I just think it's Bryce Terrang is going to lead
23:15
Speaker 6: by example. He's also going to be talking. And last
23:18
Speaker 6: night when we were talking to Cooper Pratt, it looked
23:20
Speaker 6: like Bryce Terrang was kind of like the proud dad
23:22
Speaker 6: over there at his locker, just kind of looking over like,
23:24
Speaker 6: oh yeah, like he's he was enjoying listening to the
23:28
Speaker 6: questions we had in the conversation. So I'm excited to
23:31
Speaker 6: see how that relationship grows. And that's going to be
23:34
Speaker 6: really fun, you know. Or Teas and Terrang defensively have
23:36
Speaker 6: been really fun to watch for the last couple of
23:39
Speaker 6: years in the middle infield, and I think you're going
23:40
Speaker 6: to get the same thing with Pratt and Terang.
23:42
Speaker 1: I think so when Cooper Pratt it's his first big
23:45
Speaker 1: league homer, uh, it will ostensibly it'll be the third
23:49
Speaker 1: of the season by a Brewer shortstop. People who've been
23:52
Speaker 1: bemoaning the left side of the infield. Brewer shortstops have
23:55
Speaker 1: combined for two homers so far this year.
23:57
Speaker 4: In third base, one can't get any worse. Yeah, the
24:00
Speaker 4: power numbers are not there.
24:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then again, like, okay, so in the left
24:05
Speaker 1: field has produced ten homers, like I think seven in
24:08
Speaker 1: the last week by Trio, So that's beefed up.
24:12
Speaker 2: But they're hitting homers now. Hunter.
24:14
Speaker 1: It seems like it's it's on the uptick a little bit.
24:16
Speaker 1: It's getting warmer at American Family Field. Seems to like
24:18
Speaker 1: bus are hitting more homers. But it's hard not to
24:20
Speaker 1: notice the dearth of power from shortstop in third base.
24:26
Speaker 6: It is, and that's why you bring him up, right.
24:28
Speaker 6: You knew that your defense was was pretty good when
24:31
Speaker 6: you had Ortiz and Hamilton over there and Renhefo at times,
24:35
Speaker 6: but overall you knew your defense. But look, the reason
24:39
Speaker 6: that you were trying to get Cooper Pratt up here
24:42
Speaker 6: was on the offensive side. Like, of course you want
24:44
Speaker 6: hit him to get reps, and he's the shortstop of
24:46
Speaker 6: the future, and you signed him and all that, But
24:49
Speaker 6: the reason you make that move is because you weren't
24:51
Speaker 6: getting anything from Renhifo really offensively. I mean, he had
24:53
Speaker 6: hit a home run in his Brewer's tenures, so you
24:56
Speaker 6: wanted him to do a little more.
24:59
Speaker 2: And is the power going to come right away? Probably not.
25:01
Speaker 6: You know, Pat Murphy has said the last couple of
25:03
Speaker 6: days he expects him to be more of an on
25:04
Speaker 6: base guy right away, you know, contribute in that way
25:07
Speaker 6: just like he did last night, right get on stolen
25:09
Speaker 6: base or get on Hamilton, bunts him over, Yelly, brings
25:12
Speaker 6: him in that kind of deal.
25:13
Speaker 2: He's a really good base runner, Pratt.
25:15
Speaker 6: He might not have the elite speed of say like
25:17
Speaker 6: Garrett Mitchell, but he's a really good base runner, and
25:20
Speaker 6: so that is going to help him for sure. And
25:22
Speaker 6: so I think that is where you can see Pratt Moore,
25:25
Speaker 6: you know, contribute more.
25:25
Speaker 2: Last night.
25:26
Speaker 6: He's in the middle of those couple of rallies and
25:28
Speaker 6: that's just not something we've necessarily seen from the left
25:30
Speaker 6: side of that infield very often this season. And then
25:33
Speaker 6: on the home run side, yeah, I mean they are.
25:36
Speaker 6: They are hitting home runs and there's a reason, you know,
25:38
Speaker 6: they've won four or five here on this homestand and
25:41
Speaker 6: that's a big reason why they're starting to They're starting
25:43
Speaker 6: to hit the long ball. And you know, you mix
25:46
Speaker 6: that with the type of offense that was winning them games,
25:49
Speaker 6: you know, over the stretches in late April, and may
25:53
Speaker 6: you mix that offense that wasn't hitting home runs but
25:55
Speaker 6: scoring runs at a pretty good clip to now hitting
25:58
Speaker 6: home runs, and look out that that is going to
26:01
Speaker 6: that is going to be even more of a dangerous offense.
26:04
Speaker 2: And they're numbers.
26:05
Speaker 6: I mean, they're top five and a lot of the
26:06
Speaker 6: major categories in baseball in offense, and this offense that
26:10
Speaker 6: we looked at coming into the season saying, wow, they
26:13
Speaker 6: basically brought back pretty much everybody and it was a
26:15
Speaker 6: really good offense, save for like Caleb Durban and Isaac
26:17
Speaker 6: Collins both are not having great seasons at their respective spots.
26:21
Speaker 6: And so now you have an outfield where Garrett Mitchell
26:24
Speaker 6: is doing what he did and you can substitute that
26:26
Speaker 6: for Isaac Collins and that's been better. And then you
26:28
Speaker 6: also have you know, you're looking to still upgrade that
26:31
Speaker 6: left side of the infield, and hopefully Cooper Pratt provides that,
26:34
Speaker 6: but otherwise you have guys contributing up and down. Freelix
26:36
Speaker 6: hitting three thirty three in his last seven games, he's
26:39
Speaker 6: coming around one. Yeah, Vaughn's hit over five hundred against
26:42
Speaker 6: lefties like he is just he gets up there against
26:45
Speaker 6: lefty and literally chances are he's going to get a
26:47
Speaker 6: hit over fifty percent of the time. So it is
26:51
Speaker 6: really rolling. You combine all that with the with the runs,
26:55
Speaker 6: and that's what makes this offense dangerous and even more
26:57
Speaker 6: fun to watch than it was.
26:58
Speaker 3: And we have even mentioned Jackson and he looks like
27:00
Speaker 3: he's entering a generational run here what he's been doing. Obviously,
27:04
Speaker 3: that'll help any team numbers when you can get the
27:06
Speaker 3: home run rate or stretch that he's on and just
27:10
Speaker 3: the way he's swinging the bat right now, it is
27:13
Speaker 3: so special and a hunter. Maybe we're entering a special
27:17
Speaker 3: part of the season here for Jackson Turio while we're
27:19
Speaker 3: already in it.
27:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems we're in the midst of it.
27:22
Speaker 6: Nine home runs in his last seventeen games, so he's
27:24
Speaker 6: averaging a home run every other game right now. And
27:27
Speaker 6: he after that home run last night, tied for the
27:29
Speaker 6: most homers in baseball in June, and it just boy,
27:33
Speaker 6: he just looks so confident at the plate right now.
27:35
Speaker 6: And it's rare that there is in that bat that
27:37
Speaker 6: he doesn't look competitive in.
27:39
Speaker 2: It's just very consistent.
27:40
Speaker 6: And that's the great part about this offense is Yelly
27:43
Speaker 6: had a home run last night, Turio with a home
27:45
Speaker 6: run terrang on Arbi, like they had different guys contributing powers.
27:49
Speaker 6: Didn't have a great night, but everybody else picked him up.
27:51
Speaker 6: And that's what's the mark of a good offense. Right
27:53
Speaker 6: when one guy isn't doing you know, doesn't have a
27:56
Speaker 6: good night, the rest of the offense can pick him up.
27:58
Speaker 6: And that's having different contributors up and down that lineup
28:01
Speaker 6: is key. You know, you look at the other side
28:04
Speaker 6: and the Guardians, and you're seeing kind of why you
28:07
Speaker 6: know they are. You look at their offensive rankings and
28:10
Speaker 6: they're you know, bottom bottom ten in a few categories,
28:13
Speaker 6: including batting average, because they're just having a having a rough,
28:16
Speaker 6: rough year. And of course they're out some guys, obviously
28:18
Speaker 6: Jose Ramirez, the water hasn't played in the series, and
28:20
Speaker 6: and so they're out some guys. They got the Grand
28:22
Speaker 6: Slam last night, taking advantage of some some poor pitching,
28:25
Speaker 6: as Bent Murphy called it a branded sprote so. But
28:29
Speaker 6: you can see on the other side, what a you know,
28:31
Speaker 6: an offense that just can't quite get it going. Looks
28:33
Speaker 6: like the Brewers are that opposite right now. Nine runs
28:36
Speaker 6: again last night.
28:37
Speaker 2: Is it Daniel Schneman that hit the Grand Slam? What's
28:39
Speaker 2: his name, like, Daniel Schnemaneah.
28:42
Speaker 1: His nickname's got to be got to be Frosty. His
28:45
Speaker 1: nickname's got to be Frosty, right, because Schneman and German
28:48
Speaker 1: as snowman.
28:49
Speaker 2: That works.
28:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's got to be Jeff Levering's nickname
28:53
Speaker 4: because he loves dropping the snowman. Whenever the Brewers get
28:56
Speaker 4: to eight runs, it is like one of his favorite things.
28:59
Speaker 1: I love it, no question, Hey Hunter, I was digging
29:01
Speaker 1: the reaction. Didn't dig watching, you know, Brandon sprot walk
29:05
Speaker 1: off the mound. But I like this reaction afterwhere he's
29:07
Speaker 1: like he seemed kind of pissed, like it was a
29:09
Speaker 1: cramp and he seems he seems I'm like he might
29:12
Speaker 1: have some dog in him. We're just getting to know
29:13
Speaker 1: Brandon Sprout and I like what he's showing on the mound,
29:16
Speaker 1: But I kind of liked what he said at his locker.
29:17
Speaker 2: What was your take?
29:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think everybody needs to hold out a little
29:21
Speaker 6: bit on Brandon Sprote.
29:22
Speaker 2: I know, I know there's been some rough spots and
29:25
Speaker 2: he's still got to give him pants. You gotta get
29:29
Speaker 2: him some bigger pants.
29:31
Speaker 4: Like I'm gonna say this right comfortable man, dude, those things.
29:36
Speaker 2: Look painted on. We need to give my man one
29:39
Speaker 2: size up. And he's got to get out of the
29:40
Speaker 2: kids youth mediums.
29:41
Speaker 6: I apologize, Go ahead, No you think, well, I maybe
29:46
Speaker 6: that contributed to the cramp last night, Thank.
29:47
Speaker 2: You, Hunter, That's what I'm saying. Some circulation and compression.
29:54
Speaker 6: I don't know, maybe maybe that's the case. I I think, Uh,
29:58
Speaker 6: last night, I think it was just he was not
30:02
Speaker 6: happy he came out of that game. Obviously, he said,
30:05
Speaker 6: you know, it feels soft to come out of the
30:06
Speaker 6: game and everything like that. I don't know if he is,
30:11
Speaker 6: you know, you really liked how he looked in those
30:14
Speaker 6: three innings, right, nine up, nine down, and then it
30:16
Speaker 6: just kind of the wheels came off a little bit
30:17
Speaker 6: in that fourth inning, and I wonder if that, you know,
30:20
Speaker 6: I don't I know, probably that cramping contributed to that
30:25
Speaker 6: fourth inning. Pat Murphy was more like, it's still poor pitching.
30:29
Speaker 6: He just lost his focus, that was what Pat Murphy said.
30:31
Speaker 6: So he's still hard on him. He still wants to
30:33
Speaker 6: see better out of his young pitcher, and I think
30:35
Speaker 6: that's a sign that he sees signs in brandon'sprote he
30:38
Speaker 6: can be really good.
30:39
Speaker 2: We're seeing it right.
30:40
Speaker 6: He went five innings, three earned runs against Colorado at Coors,
30:43
Speaker 6: not bad. Six innings one run against the A's in
30:45
Speaker 6: Vegas in a hitting friendly environment. And now you sit
30:48
Speaker 6: and you go nine up, nine down against the Guardians
30:51
Speaker 6: last night, and then you get to the fourth inning
30:53
Speaker 6: and the wheels fall off a little bit, and then
30:54
Speaker 6: you get the cramp, and then he leaves, So I
30:57
Speaker 6: think we just need to hold out a little bit.
30:59
Speaker 6: Hopefully he point glimpses and he has these really good
31:03
Speaker 6: stretches in games. Can he hold it and uh and
31:06
Speaker 6: and you know get like he did like the Vegas start.
31:09
Speaker 2: Can we see more of that? Hopefully we can.
31:11
Speaker 3: And the stuff was good to start yesterday. The first
31:13
Speaker 3: three things like you mentioned, and Billy, I gotta say
31:15
Speaker 3: I took a second looking, man, they look like skinny jeans.
31:18
Speaker 2: You're actually right about this, dude, They're too tight. No,
31:21
Speaker 2: he wants to show off the thighs. I mean, sky's out,
31:23
Speaker 2: thighs out, it's leg day. He doesn't miss it. Maybe
31:25
Speaker 2: that's what the deal is there. I'm not really sure. Oh,
31:27
Speaker 2: I mean he's competing with cal Rowley.
31:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, man's got the but like we could, we could
31:32
Speaker 4: lock it up just a little bit and and loosen
31:34
Speaker 4: just a tick and maybe it'll be a little bitter.
31:37
Speaker 4: What about I wanted to ask you about Christian Yellwich
31:39
Speaker 4: Hunter because he feels like sometimes just see Yelwich on
31:43
Speaker 4: the all right pencil in at least No. Three really
31:46
Speaker 4: good at bats, probably gonna walk one time, but his
31:48
Speaker 4: numbers are really good at the top of the lineup.
31:52
Speaker 4: I have never I'm not known he's gone up there
31:54
Speaker 4: a couple of times, dropped him back down. Feels like
31:56
Speaker 4: they need him as the run producer, then kickstart him
31:59
Speaker 4: fire up at the top of the lineup moving, but
32:01
Speaker 4: they haven't solidified anything up there. Do you do is
32:04
Speaker 4: that something Murph would prefer to do, is have it
32:08
Speaker 4: kind of loose near the top of the order, or
32:10
Speaker 4: do you think it would be in a perfect world
32:13
Speaker 4: a Yelich Churio terrain contraris because that one through four
32:17
Speaker 4: is pretty dang good.
32:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're they're just riding with this him
32:21
Speaker 6: in the leadoff spot and and it's and I think
32:23
Speaker 6: it's going to be until further notice kind of. I
32:26
Speaker 6: really think that that Pat Murphy likes him there.
32:28
Speaker 2: It's funny.
32:29
Speaker 6: I was just thinking last night that that I want
32:30
Speaker 6: to ask Murph about like how he's liked how his
32:33
Speaker 6: lineup has looked with him at the top, because you know,
32:37
Speaker 6: he was hitting, he was hitting clean up a lot,
32:39
Speaker 6: and of course they had they had guys in and
32:41
Speaker 6: out of that lineup, But now that they have their
32:42
Speaker 6: full compliment, I think it makes sense. It also takes
32:45
Speaker 6: kind of the pressure off him of Okay, we don't
32:47
Speaker 6: need power out of you just get on base. And
32:48
Speaker 6: he's one of the better guys at getting on base,
32:50
Speaker 6: you know, through his career. He just you know, he
32:52
Speaker 6: finds ways to get on good at bats. Uh, you know,
32:55
Speaker 6: finding ways. So I think it makes sense for him.
32:58
Speaker 6: But and then he can pop up homer sometimes as well,
33:01
Speaker 6: with the with the home run last night and the
33:03
Speaker 6: leadoff home run in the first inning last night, So
33:06
Speaker 6: I think it's it's working overall.
33:08
Speaker 4: Uh.
33:09
Speaker 6: And then you know, if Cooper Pratt and David Hamilton
33:11
Speaker 6: are at the bottom of the lineup and he got
33:12
Speaker 6: some speed on in front of you, maybe you can,
33:14
Speaker 6: you know, put in the gap somewhere and then they
33:16
Speaker 6: can they can get a they can be able to.
33:18
Speaker 2: Run all day. So I do like what he's doing.
33:22
Speaker 6: I'm interested to see if that continues to be, you know,
33:25
Speaker 6: down the stretch, if we go another month into the
33:27
Speaker 6: All Star break and he's still betting the leadoff and
33:29
Speaker 6: then they just kind of ride with it the rest
33:30
Speaker 6: of the way.
33:31
Speaker 2: I am interested to see if that's the case.
33:33
Speaker 6: Otherwise, I mean, Turio, it makes sense for him in
33:36
Speaker 6: the two spot because he's producing a lot of power
33:38
Speaker 6: right now. You can you could argue even that you
33:40
Speaker 6: should be in the three spot, you know, with guys
33:42
Speaker 6: starting to get on base in front of them to
33:44
Speaker 6: with the power surge that he's having right now.
33:46
Speaker 2: But put him in the two. That's fine.
33:48
Speaker 6: Terrang and contraras our our machines back there when when
33:51
Speaker 6: they're on. Terrang obviously has been in a little bit
33:54
Speaker 6: of a slump, but hopefully he's coming out of it,
33:56
Speaker 6: you know, gotten a run driven in his last couple
33:58
Speaker 6: of games now, and then you got Bowers and Vaughan
34:01
Speaker 6: and Freelick's hont and Mitchell obviously has done well over
34:03
Speaker 6: the last month. So I think I like how it
34:06
Speaker 6: sets up, and I think Murph like's how it sets up.
34:08
Speaker 2: It seems all right, Hunter on the way out here.
34:10
Speaker 1: My favorite thing like the hidden moments in the game
34:14
Speaker 1: eighth inning last night, Brewers get base hit, base hit
34:17
Speaker 1: double bas h Cooper Pratt with an RBI.
34:20
Speaker 2: Okay, they attacked on insurance.
34:21
Speaker 1: Runs, which is great, and it's like, oh, they didn't
34:23
Speaker 1: need them per se, but that let them sit McGill
34:26
Speaker 1: down and use Grant Anderson in the ninth and then
34:30
Speaker 1: he had a clean inning and you didn't need to
34:32
Speaker 1: get like the main guys up. Little moments like that,
34:36
Speaker 1: like people don't just washes away down the river. But
34:38
Speaker 1: that's a big moment, and for me, it's like, Okay,
34:41
Speaker 1: now McGill's got another day of fresh arm. You didn't
34:44
Speaker 1: have to burn him, because if they had pitched him
34:45
Speaker 1: last night, they might not have him today, you.
34:47
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
34:48
Speaker 1: How everything sets up, and those are the that's the
34:51
Speaker 1: sweet spot of baseball is noticing stuff like that.
34:53
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that was a significant run. Didn't seem
34:56
Speaker 2: like it.
34:56
Speaker 1: They're already ahead comfortably, like okay, but those little moments,
35:01
Speaker 1: man hunter that and seems like the Brewers are getting
35:03
Speaker 1: a lot of those go their way.
35:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
35:05
Speaker 6: And what led to that was Pat Murphy pull on
35:08
Speaker 6: his bench guys and hitting Vaughan for Mitchell.
35:10
Speaker 2: Boom, you get, you get on base right.
35:12
Speaker 6: Sanchez came up, hit the line drive, didn't get a
35:15
Speaker 6: run in, but overall like he was he was. He
35:18
Speaker 6: was emptying his bench a little bit there and saying,
35:20
Speaker 6: you know what, we're we're gonna try to get McGill
35:22
Speaker 6: an off day here and trying to add out a
35:24
Speaker 6: run or two, and he could kind of kind of
35:26
Speaker 6: smell blood in the water, so.
35:27
Speaker 2: To speak, and that's exactly what he did.
35:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, running for von like putting Perkins in Vaughan was huge,
35:34
Speaker 4: exactly it. They also they've scored more runs Hunter. Is
35:37
Speaker 4: that a real stat? I don't know if that was
35:39
Speaker 4: just one of those like make believe ones that people
35:40
Speaker 4: threw out there.
35:41
Speaker 2: And it just fits really well.
35:42
Speaker 4: They've scored more runs than everybody else in the eighth
35:45
Speaker 4: inning of these games in Major League baseball by like
35:48
Speaker 4: a significant mark, like almost a full tenth of a
35:51
Speaker 4: run than anybody else in Major League Baseball.
35:53
Speaker 2: So attacking on almost every single night, it feels like
35:56
Speaker 2: it's believable for sure.
35:58
Speaker 6: And and in a game like last night, see this
36:00
Speaker 6: is where Cooper Pratt kind of opens up your infield
36:03
Speaker 6: because because of Cooper Pratt being there at shortstop. Okay,
36:06
Speaker 6: then you know, hit Gary Sanchez for Hamilton, you can
36:09
Speaker 6: hit Vaughan for Mitchell. Okay, you put Perkins center, and
36:12
Speaker 6: you put Ortiz at third, and think of that ninth
36:14
Speaker 6: inning infield then or Tees third, h Cooper Pratt at
36:17
Speaker 6: short and Terrang at second. I mean, it's hard to
36:19
Speaker 6: beat defensively at type of infield. So that is what
36:23
Speaker 6: you're kind of working with now, now that Ortiz has
36:26
Speaker 6: become that utility guy and that guy who can enter
36:28
Speaker 6: in late in the ballgame, you have a really good
36:31
Speaker 6: infield in near ninth inning if you put Ortiz at
36:33
Speaker 6: third and Pratt and Terrang their first time. Ortiz has
36:36
Speaker 6: been at third since twenty twenty four, so a bit.
36:39
Speaker 1: Before Pratt came up, they were getting creative and they
36:41
Speaker 1: used Terrang at short to close out a game, and
36:43
Speaker 1: it was like, that was interesting stuff, interesting stuff, Hunter.
36:47
Speaker 2: Great run.
36:47
Speaker 1: Enjoy your day at the ballpark, and we'll be listening

39:11

39:23
Speaker 4: in there.
39:23
Speaker 2: We don't have time.
39:25
Speaker 1: Because the Cincinnati guy hated their egg roll covered in
39:28
Speaker 1: Skyline Chili.
39:29
Speaker 2: I almost think he made his decision before he ate it.
39:31
Speaker 2: Is that fair enough?
39:32
Speaker 4: He takes the first bite, and I don't know that
39:34
Speaker 4: I've seen somebody that disgusted with another human being or
39:38
Speaker 4: anything since you know, I don't know.
39:41
Speaker 2: I farted and my wife said, really, you're gonna do
39:44
Speaker 2: that in front of everybody? What are you doing? Yeah? Sorry,
39:46
Speaker 2: I do that on a daily base. I'll let you down.
