08/24/26 - Hour 1 · The Huddle

0:00
Speaker 1: Clubbers, you've stumbled into the huddle.
0:02
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine, twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison,
0:05
Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, I'm Drew Wilson. Bill Schmid
0:09
Speaker 2: will be here directly. He's getting an extra hour asleep
0:13
Speaker 2: because he's going to come in on his way to
0:15
Speaker 2: Green Bay for a spirited Packers practice, one of the
0:18
Speaker 2: last two public practices of the year, one of the
0:21
Speaker 2: last two training camp lives of the year that kicks
0:24
Speaker 2: off at eleven o'clock, and then getting ready for that
0:26
Speaker 2: joint practice against the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday. Armand Sorry
0:31
Speaker 2: is at his post and Arman, I was thinking of
0:33
Speaker 2: you last evening.
0:34
Speaker 3: Wow, it's a good or bad thing.
0:36
Speaker 2: I think it's I was watching the Brewers and Braves
0:39
Speaker 2: cavorts in Williamsport, and I'm watching the way they present
0:42
Speaker 2: the broadcast kind of through the eyes of twelve year
0:44
Speaker 2: old kids love and you are the most twelve year
0:46
Speaker 2: old kid that I know in the body of a
0:48
Speaker 2: forty year old man, and I think you had to
0:50
Speaker 2: love it. What was your take in the proceedings with
0:53
Speaker 2: the Brewers and Braves visiting Williamsport?
0:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved that.
0:56
Speaker 4: I thought it was awesome, and I do love that,
0:59
Speaker 4: Drew you're thinking of me. You know, that's always a
1:00
Speaker 4: oad thing. But you know, I try and keep that
1:03
Speaker 4: sort of you know, childlike excitement and whimsy inside me
1:07
Speaker 4: if I can. I think it's always good for all
1:09
Speaker 4: of us to do it a little bit, don't. We
1:12
Speaker 4: don't become too cynical of any moment, and we stay
1:15
Speaker 4: grateful for the little things. And that's always a good
1:17
Speaker 4: thing because when you were a kid, you are and
1:20
Speaker 4: something like just big leakers being around someone buying you
1:22
Speaker 4: a free Gator rate. I love that, I thought Trevor McGill.
1:25
Speaker 4: It was great to see Lily Jiao and everybody else
1:27
Speaker 4: out there covering. So it was just fantastic. And you know,
1:31
Speaker 4: in the back of your mind you think yourself, oh,
1:32
Speaker 4: big league game, what the major league sport has become?
1:35
Speaker 4: You know, how can they do it in a place
1:36
Speaker 4: like Williamsport. But they pull it off fantastically. And it's
1:40
Speaker 4: somewhat similar to the Field of Dreams game, right because
1:43
Speaker 4: they're playing in a makeshift But but in a lot
1:46
Speaker 4: of ways it's different because in.
1:48
Speaker 2: A lot of ways it's better because it's not based
1:50
Speaker 2: on a crappy movie.
1:50
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, right, okay, I love it. We'll take any
1:55
Speaker 4: chance for you to litigate that movie, Drew.
1:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no.
1:58
Speaker 4: But it's just cool because the kids are already there.
2:00
Speaker 4: There's a lot of excitement there. And I think they
2:03
Speaker 4: picked a couple of the right teams in that. You know,
2:06
Speaker 4: the Brewers not to be such a Homer, but the
2:09
Speaker 4: Brewers personify everything the game one stood for and what
2:13
Speaker 4: it still aspires to be.
2:14
Speaker 3: I believe in major League sports.
2:16
Speaker 4: You know, we know a lot of it has changed,
2:18
Speaker 4: you know a lot of it is going to continue
2:20
Speaker 4: to change, and about what this truly is in the end,
2:23
Speaker 4: and it's a kid's game, you know, cbas and and
2:27
Speaker 4: lockouts and salary caps and things like that. But at
2:31
Speaker 4: its hard it's still a kids game. And I think
2:33
Speaker 4: you found the right guys because the Brewers are a
2:35
Speaker 4: youthful bunch, a team that is led by a guy
2:38
Speaker 4: that understands, you know, the work life balance, understands what
2:42
Speaker 4: it's all about, keeps things in perspective, manages it sort
2:46
Speaker 4: of like he's managing a bunch of kids.
2:48
Speaker 3: I love that. And and Atlanta too, which is.
2:50
Speaker 4: Also a fantastic franchise that's successful, and you got a
2:53
Speaker 4: bunch of guys that really embraced it.
2:54
Speaker 3: You know, I've bentioned already mcgilbien, the Gatorades.
2:57
Speaker 4: You see the Brewers walking off the plane, you see
3:00
Speaker 4: them doing the little thing with the Little League pictures
3:02
Speaker 4: and the Brewers social media.
3:03
Speaker 3: It's just a lot of fun.
3:04
Speaker 4: It's great to see us be a part of it
3:06
Speaker 4: because the Brewers represent the game positively, in my opinion,
3:10
Speaker 4: in so many ways. And yesterday it was another great
3:12
Speaker 4: example of that, Drew and it's fun. I wish the
3:14
Speaker 4: Brewers would have won, but I mean, you know, Drohan
3:18
Speaker 4: kind of held his own a little bit, but they
3:19
Speaker 4: couldn't get the win.
3:20
Speaker 3: But overall was a great series in that sense. So
3:23
Speaker 3: still got two out of three.
3:24
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was awesome to see and great that
3:27
Speaker 4: we were a part of it, and great that our
3:28
Speaker 4: players embraced it so much because you can tell where
3:32
Speaker 4: this is not like a jaded group of veterans that
3:34
Speaker 4: are like, you know, too cool for school. I mean,
3:37
Speaker 4: this is a bunch of younger players, guys that are
3:40
Speaker 4: excited to be there and probably you know, just the Stones,
3:43
Speaker 4: well not probably they are just a stones throw away
3:46
Speaker 4: of their youth ball themselves, and they all have great
3:48
Speaker 4: memories of that. And it brings all of us back
3:51
Speaker 4: to our little league days, you know, and and brings
3:54
Speaker 4: us a little bit of a memory, which it made
3:56
Speaker 4: me think of something that maybe we'll get to a
3:58
Speaker 4: little later. I don't know if it's for longer to score.
4:00
Speaker 4: I should maybe good Win Billies here because he's got
4:01
Speaker 4: two young boys. But you know, I wonder a little
4:05
Speaker 4: bit with the emergence of travel ball and and the
4:09
Speaker 4: way youth sports are going, is it you know, you
4:12
Speaker 4: think about little League, what little League used to be
4:15
Speaker 4: in your municipality and your hometown, and I just wonder
4:18
Speaker 4: if less less and less little League is in importance
4:21
Speaker 4: for young kids playing baseball. Not that kids don't like
4:24
Speaker 4: to play youth sports, but it's just the emergence of
4:27
Speaker 4: paid travel ball, right, And you worry about that a
4:29
Speaker 4: little bit. So I hope literally continues to thrive in America.
4:33
Speaker 4: I hope the organization still continues to thrive, and I
4:35
Speaker 4: hope a lot of our kids that love playing baseball
4:40
Speaker 4: still participate in their local little league, because I think
4:43
Speaker 4: you lose a little bit if it's just the whole
4:45
Speaker 4: travel ball thing in some sense.
4:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's that part of it, the corporatization of
4:52
Speaker 2: youth sports. Yeah, and maybe that's a under discussion and well, yeah,
4:55
Speaker 2: but how do you have that discussion? Because I uh,
4:59
Speaker 2: once again, as is often the case, I'm a man
5:01
Speaker 2: in deep conflict, as I wrestled with my opinions on things,
5:04
Speaker 2: and I've said for years, I think it's cheap programming.
5:08
Speaker 2: And ESPN has in some ways exploited the Little League
5:12
Speaker 2: World Series.
5:12
Speaker 3: Interesting.
5:13
Speaker 2: It went from you know, it used to be on
5:14
Speaker 2: like Wide World of Sports on Saturday and like the
5:17
Speaker 2: for the final, right or you know the they would
5:20
Speaker 2: and then they showed the final on you know, the
5:22
Speaker 2: Big ABC or whatever. And then we started to get
5:25
Speaker 2: like the preliminary round used to start to get all
5:28
Speaker 2: the road to Williams. We started in all the regional
5:31
Speaker 2: finals and it was okay, Like I said, cheap programming.
5:35
Speaker 2: And I always felt bad because if some kid makes
5:37
Speaker 2: an error, punches out with the bases loaded, and you
5:40
Speaker 2: know that's going to follow you the rest of your life,
5:41
Speaker 2: and it's going to be a clip.
5:42
Speaker 1: Now it's going to be.
5:44
Speaker 4: Well or it's like you know even with the when
5:46
Speaker 4: when I would be California and the kids struck out,
5:48
Speaker 4: the kid looking and I don't know if you saw
5:50
Speaker 4: any of that on Friday. But then all the internets
5:53
Speaker 4: are arguing that the ball was outside, and I would
5:56
Speaker 4: like the kids should enjoy the moment, you know, whether
5:58
Speaker 4: or not the call was good shouldn't be about controversy.
6:01
Speaker 3: Is that what you mean? Stuff like that?
6:03
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, things like that and just but then I
6:07
Speaker 2: liked last night's event and the presentation of it, but
6:10
Speaker 2: I do think that they ring too much out of
6:12
Speaker 2: that mop. They try to of the U sports and
6:16
Speaker 2: in some ways it is exploitative. But I dug last
6:19
Speaker 2: night and you know, having kids ask questions of players
6:22
Speaker 2: is cool, right.
6:23
Speaker 3: I love that.
6:24
Speaker 2: The one game interview with Garrett Mitchell I thought was cool,
6:28
Speaker 2: and he's a good spokesman.
6:29
Speaker 1: He was you know, got hit in the hand later.
6:31
Speaker 4: They picked him, but they picked him for a reason, right,
6:33
Speaker 4: He's just so good at that.
6:34
Speaker 2: Suff he's good at that, he's got the diabetes story,
6:37
Speaker 2: and he's an inspiration for a lot of kids and
6:39
Speaker 2: good player.
6:40
Speaker 1: It is interesting because well spoken, So yeah, it makes sense.
6:42
Speaker 3: You're right, they put more on TV than they used to.
6:45
Speaker 4: And on one way, it's kind of cool because when
6:48
Speaker 4: we were kids, like if that, if you ever got
6:50
Speaker 4: the chance to be on ESPN it that would have
6:51
Speaker 4: been the coolest thing ever.
6:52
Speaker 3: Oh I'm playing on TV today?
6:53
Speaker 1: Yeah?
6:54
Speaker 4: But I are they exploiting him? I mean you could
6:56
Speaker 4: look at it a couple of ways. It is kind
6:58
Speaker 4: of in a way cheaper free programming. Those kids aren't
7:01
Speaker 4: going to be like are paying us? No? But but
7:04
Speaker 4: it is one time of year and the one thing
7:07
Speaker 4: you do have in this landscape of media is you
7:09
Speaker 4: have runway to put stuff on the air. I mean
7:12
Speaker 4: there are there are as you know, during college basketball season,
7:15
Speaker 4: there's a million streaming networks that have college games on.
7:17
Speaker 4: You can get any game, So you do have space
7:21
Speaker 4: in the summer for games and things like that.
7:23
Speaker 2: And I'd like to see some kind of study or
7:25
Speaker 2: something just the time commitment and travel commitment like these people.
7:29
Speaker 3: That's where I agree with you there.
7:31
Speaker 1: I mean they're spending like what a month on.
7:33
Speaker 3: The road and more easily more.
7:36
Speaker 2: I mean I'm sure it's insane, and it is summer,
7:39
Speaker 2: and you know, kids and some kids some schools have
7:41
Speaker 2: already fired up.
7:42
Speaker 1: But for the most part.
7:44
Speaker 2: You know you're missing school, but you're just like the
7:46
Speaker 2: commitment of the families of the And I mean, how
7:49
Speaker 2: many candy bars and magazine subscriptions you have to sell
7:52
Speaker 2: to fund this, above and beyond what you have to
7:55
Speaker 2: pay to play in.
7:56
Speaker 1: These you know, in leagues with five hundred dollars.
7:59
Speaker 4: Bats and yeah, no work, you're not selling popcorn anymore.
8:02
Speaker 4: I mean parents are taking out like loans and four days,
8:06
Speaker 4: That's what I mean. That's what I mean with travel ball.
8:08
Speaker 4: It's like the ones we see Drew. It's like watching
8:11
Speaker 4: the Olympics and watching seven gymnasts. But there's thousands and
8:14
Speaker 4: thousands of others of parents paying for sure lessons and
8:17
Speaker 4: going to gyms and and and and it's and trasing.
8:22
Speaker 4: This is just that, this is just the tip of
8:23
Speaker 4: the iceberger the kids that actually make it onto a
8:25
Speaker 4: Little League World Series team. But there are kids across
8:28
Speaker 4: America now that are that's what I mean, are spending
8:30
Speaker 4: their entire their entire summers and their family summers are
8:34
Speaker 4: in paid travel ball. And there's probably some positive in that,
8:37
Speaker 4: like I'm sure those are memories they're making with friends,
8:40
Speaker 4: but gone of the days, and that's why when I
8:43
Speaker 4: bring up when I'm worried about like little leagues staying
8:45
Speaker 4: stronger municipality, like I think gone are the days where
8:50
Speaker 4: kids used to play in the summer in their local neighborhood,
8:53
Speaker 4: little leagues local as much as they used to. Not
8:56
Speaker 4: that they never do, but alan kids are, for lack
8:59
Speaker 4: of another cliche term, are gathering at the sandlot with
9:02
Speaker 4: the neighborhood kids to take on other neighborhood.
9:04
Speaker 3: It's not what it is anymore.
9:06
Speaker 4: Your parents are signing up, paying for fifteen bats, paying
9:09
Speaker 4: for special uniforms, paying for the travel, and they're loading
9:13
Speaker 4: up the car and you sports used to be about
9:17
Speaker 4: the fabric of a neighborhood and now it's a road show. Really,
9:20
Speaker 4: I mean, your kids are going to Cincinnati and Louisville
9:22
Speaker 4: and Charlotte and all these places. It doesn't mean it's
9:25
Speaker 4: necessarily all bad. It just means there's a lot different
9:28
Speaker 4: to it, right, But you're right, I mean a lot
9:31
Speaker 4: of these kids are losing their summer doing it.
9:33
Speaker 3: But maybe this is what they wanted.
9:34
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, you know it's the I'm sure
9:36
Speaker 2: it's the greatest ride of all time and you remember
9:39
Speaker 2: it for life and you do form the lasting bonds,
9:41
Speaker 2: and one.
9:42
Speaker 1: Or two of those kids might crack through. Some of
9:44
Speaker 1: them might play a different sport at a high level,
9:46
Speaker 1: but some of the might crack through to play, you know,
9:50
Speaker 1: in the big league. Someday.
9:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe some kid that was interviewing Logan Henderson will
9:55
Speaker 2: pitch in the big league. Some you don't know, but
9:57
Speaker 2: it's cool, but I am Yeah. Part of me is,
10:00
Speaker 2: you know, I tend to question the corporatization of it.
10:04
Speaker 2: And you know, because money and commercialism tends to pollute
10:08
Speaker 2: everything and they pour, especially when they're portraying it as pure, pure,
10:14
Speaker 2: But is it really at these high levels of you know,
10:16
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's like, yeah, so I'm a
10:18
Speaker 2: man in deep conflict.
10:20
Speaker 4: Now, there's always a business executive out there trying to
10:22
Speaker 4: make money on something exactly, and that's absolutely true.
10:25
Speaker 3: We saw with every.
10:27
Speaker 2: Sponsors, are we selling to the audience we're attracting from this?
10:31
Speaker 1: Now? Does does this like? Okay?
10:33
Speaker 2: So Billy and I we famously had a heated discussion
10:37
Speaker 2: when everybody and people were watching and especially here because
10:40
Speaker 2: the Brewers were in it last night.
10:41
Speaker 1: But uh, when.
10:43
Speaker 2: Everybody was captivated in the winter watching the Olympic Hockey
10:46
Speaker 2: tournament and they thought it was going to be a
10:48
Speaker 2: huge and it was this huge springboard for the NHL.
10:50
Speaker 1: And I said, no, it's not. It's not. It's people
10:53
Speaker 1: aren't going to be.
10:54
Speaker 2: Watching, uh the Flames play against the Stars on Tuesday
10:58
Speaker 2: night because they're charged up about at the Olympics.
11:00
Speaker 1: And I think I was right on that.
11:02
Speaker 3: It wasn't you know more signed up their kids for
11:04
Speaker 3: you part of that debate.
11:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was part of it too. I just didn't
11:07
Speaker 2: think it was the springboard. It was fun to watch,
11:10
Speaker 2: but it was one of those fleeting things.
11:11
Speaker 1: Now. I think if you're I don't know, maybe like.
11:14
Speaker 2: Well, Billy's kids are charged up on baseball anyway three
11:18
Speaker 2: and one, they couldn't be bigger fan. But doesn't make
11:21
Speaker 2: anybody want Does that make anybody? I mean, yeah, if
11:24
Speaker 2: you're like, make you want to play harder and have
11:27
Speaker 2: your team get there? Sure, I guess you know it'd
11:29
Speaker 2: be Oh wouldn't that be great? I'll you know, imagine
11:31
Speaker 2: put yourself armin in the into the small uniform and
11:35
Speaker 2: small cleats of a kid playing little league. Now it's like, oh,
11:39
Speaker 2: that would be so awesome if we got to do that,
11:40
Speaker 2: and the kids from Whitefish bade damn near Dick.
11:43
Speaker 3: They were so close. Man, I still feel and I
11:45
Speaker 3: wish they would.
11:46
Speaker 2: I know, I know you mentioned Lily locally, Lily's out
11:49
Speaker 2: from FOXIC. I think she was the only one there locally.
11:52
Speaker 3: Well yeah, obviously, but yeah.
11:55
Speaker 2: Well I mean yeah, but I mean local TV and
11:57
Speaker 2: stuff that aren't Brewers coverage related, aren't Brewers centric. But
12:02
Speaker 2: had Whitefish Bay gone, everybody would have gone there and
12:05
Speaker 2: covered them because it would have been the first team
12:07
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin to go and playing Williamsport and having the
12:11
Speaker 2: Brewers of the backdrop. They would have hooked over it
12:13
Speaker 2: even stayed after the after the Blue Dukes or whatever
12:16
Speaker 2: they call them were eliminated. So yeah, that coverage was cool.
12:21
Speaker 2: And again it's but I wondered and hit us up
12:25
Speaker 2: talking text like check in five o'clock clubbers, I know
12:27
Speaker 2: it's Monday there.
12:28
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of people.
12:29
Speaker 2: The tail lights were on in the parking lot at
12:31
Speaker 2: the y Sosia passed waiting to get in a five
12:33
Speaker 2: beating on the door to get their workout.
12:35
Speaker 3: In statman Seve texted us he was in the four o'clock.
12:37
Speaker 2: Club, of course, Yeah, statman Steve, he was here, Yeah,
12:41
Speaker 2: he was here early. But I wondered when we'd get
12:44
Speaker 2: this sentiment because you think about this, and for the
12:48
Speaker 2: Brewers last night somewhat analogous to the Packers going overseas.
12:53
Speaker 2: You're playing a game, you're picking up, you're flying the
12:56
Speaker 2: whole operation, and we're going into a different place to
12:58
Speaker 2: play a game for TV in front of a crowd.
13:01
Speaker 4: I don't think, David remember anytime a pro team's flown
13:03
Speaker 4: on game day unless it.
13:04
Speaker 3: Was like a weather.
13:05
Speaker 1: I thought they flew out after Saturday.
13:07
Speaker 4: They flew They were the according to the Internet, they
13:09
Speaker 4: were the videos I saw they flew in yesterday morning, okay, yeah,
13:13
Speaker 4: which I thought was kind of like that at home.
13:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:16
Speaker 2: Anyway, I got this and I was waiting for this one,
13:18
Speaker 2: and it comes from Mike and Racine. Yes, I think
13:21
Speaker 2: the Little League Classic is a good idea. It was
13:24
Speaker 2: really cool, but I don't like the Brewers having to
13:26
Speaker 2: give up a home game for it. And I was
13:28
Speaker 2: wondering who was going to bitch about that. Well, this
13:31
Speaker 2: is not like beat the Braves in two games that
13:33
Speaker 2: American family sell out crowds. It was rocking No, it
13:36
Speaker 2: was a rocking atmosphere, but it wasn't the same as
13:38
Speaker 2: playing a home game.
13:39
Speaker 3: No, I guess.
13:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, if the Packers losing, If the Packers playing an
13:41
Speaker 2: international game and lose a home game.
13:43
Speaker 1: Oh people bitch.
13:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, the implacent.
13:45
Speaker 2: Gambo is a sacred experience, and you know they want
13:49
Speaker 2: the advantage.
13:50
Speaker 4: And you have eight or nine home games in the NFL,
13:52
Speaker 4: and losing one is a lot big of a deal
13:54
Speaker 4: than losing.
13:55
Speaker 3: Eighty one out of eighty or eighty out of eighty one.
13:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
13:58
Speaker 4: I didn't think about it that way, but I guess
14:00
Speaker 4: that's technically true. The Brewers lost a home game when
14:03
Speaker 4: maybe they had a slight edge to win an extra game.
14:05
Speaker 4: Or is he worried about is he worried about the
14:07
Speaker 4: advantage the Brewers lost or the gate that they lost
14:09
Speaker 4: from that extra game.
14:10
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing is I'm sure, I'm sure major
14:14
Speaker 2: League Baseball makes you whole if you give up a
14:16
Speaker 2: home game.
14:17
Speaker 1: I would think that they get.
14:19
Speaker 3: Did you get for the effort? You can't?
14:21
Speaker 2: I mean, it casts him a local TV game too,
14:24
Speaker 2: and that's you know, that's happened a lot where you're
14:25
Speaker 2: on national TV.
14:26
Speaker 4: And like you know, but if you end the season
14:29
Speaker 4: one win less because you might have had a neutral game,
14:32
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the ultimate and excuse making in my opinion.
14:35
Speaker 4: I mean we're talking about a baseball season. I mean,
14:38
Speaker 4: might not appreciate Mike and receipts, but hey, that's that's well.
14:41
Speaker 2: It is a lot of revenue from parking and stuff.
14:43
Speaker 2: And like what I'm saying, it's like I bet major
14:46
Speaker 2: League Baseball makes them whole. Yes, you have to share
14:48
Speaker 2: something because you can't, I'm sure because otherwise the Brewers, yeah,
14:52
Speaker 2: they would be at a disadvantage giving up a whole
14:54
Speaker 2: day of parking. Think of how much how much money
14:57
Speaker 2: came in Friday and Saturday with the sellout crowds in
14:59
Speaker 2: terms of part.
15:02
Speaker 4: Especially on Saturday with the way everyone came out for
15:04
Speaker 4: the jersey and everything.
15:06
Speaker 3: That was a huge day at the park. And the
15:07
Speaker 3: thing is Friday and then Friday was too. Friday was too.
15:10
Speaker 4: Absolutely and because with the mid sale matchup, and the
15:13
Speaker 4: thing is people like to hear this that's important for Milaukee.
15:17
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're a Brewers fan, like, making making
15:21
Speaker 4: gate and making profit at the game for Mark is
15:24
Speaker 4: very important because we know they don't. They don't make
15:26
Speaker 4: a lot on that media rights revenue. So the way
15:29
Speaker 4: we keep the Brewers solvent is by spending money at
15:32
Speaker 4: the ballpark. And I no, fans don't want to hear that,
15:34
Speaker 4: but it is very important for a mark and for
15:36
Speaker 4: everybody else out there. So even one game could I
15:38
Speaker 4: suppose change their bottom line a little bit, right, You're
15:41
Speaker 4: talking about multiple tens of thousands.
15:44
Speaker 3: So you yeah, you have to think MLB makes them
15:47
Speaker 3: whole a little bit on that in one way or
15:48
Speaker 3: the other.
15:49
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, I mean that's just the way the
15:52
Speaker 4: schedule worked out. It could be like the Field of
15:55
Speaker 4: Dreams game if the Brewers ever went, you know, someone
15:58
Speaker 4: losing a home game is my point.
15:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, in a game like that as well.
16:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight seven, seven, seven, nine, one ninety seven to three,
16:05
Speaker 2: get you in.
16:09
Speaker 1: We got it.
16:10
Speaker 2: Here's a text and this is interesting too because it's
16:14
Speaker 2: from the seven to one to five. What did you
16:18
Speaker 2: guys think of some of the social media posts? Dugout
16:21
Speaker 2: report that ballyhood the Chris Sale interview last evening with
16:24
Speaker 2: Carl Ravage, especially when he thanked him for his years
16:26
Speaker 2: of work that he was one of the good guys
16:28
Speaker 2: in the headlines when earlier in the game, as you mentioned,
16:31
Speaker 2: Garrett Mitchell just did the same thing in a great interview,
16:33
Speaker 2: but per usual, little old Milwaukee Brewers can't get mentioned.
16:37
Speaker 3: I don't understand the question. Well, the interview.
16:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, Garrett got interviewed during the game, but I thought
16:42
Speaker 2: the stuff that he said about ravage was after the game,
16:45
Speaker 2: not in his in game interview. Well, I have to
16:47
Speaker 2: go back and check. I saw most of his in
16:49
Speaker 2: game interview, and I didn't I thought that was happy.
16:53
Speaker 3: Maybe because he was playing and didn't think to say it. Now.
16:55
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but he he said it afterwards, and Don
16:58
Speaker 2: posted a video of him afterwards, So I think you
16:59
Speaker 2: might have the analogy wrong there.
17:01
Speaker 1: My thing would be who cares like?
17:03
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I don't understand that Gremmers weren't The
17:05
Speaker 2: Brewers weren't lacking for attention last night like they were
17:09
Speaker 2: in the showcase game, and they did get kind of
17:12
Speaker 2: equal representation, and they had you know, Kristin Yelich was
17:15
Speaker 2: in the booth for the Little League World Series game,
17:17
Speaker 2: as was Ozzie Albays. Like it's they weren't. It wasn't disproportionate.
17:22
Speaker 2: There was no big market bias.
17:24
Speaker 3: And if you're worried about what dug Out report, yeah
17:28
Speaker 3: that a Twitter account? Is that what that is? Right?
17:31
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not a bigger publication. It's not like
17:34
Speaker 4: baseball a Mariaga.
17:35
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean if you're worried about what.
17:36
Speaker 4: Dug Out Report is saying or not saying about the Brewers,
17:39
Speaker 4: I think you're looking to be aggrieved in that sense.
17:42
Speaker 1: I all, I don't think we're like we're predisposed.
17:45
Speaker 3: It's getting disrespected as a small market.
17:48
Speaker 2: Troy Iman hate the Packers. I appreciate the enterg on
17:51
Speaker 2: the street before.
17:52
Speaker 4: You know, if you need him, if you need someone
17:54
Speaker 4: to defend your house seven to one, five here, give
17:56
Speaker 4: us your name. Yeah, we don't have it, but he's
17:58
Speaker 4: gonna do it. I think what Chris said about Carl
18:02
Speaker 4: was great. I gotta go back and see if you're
18:04
Speaker 4: right about Garrett. I know he gave an interview after,
18:06
Speaker 4: did he it was prior?
18:08
Speaker 1: But on the field I thought he was talking about
18:09
Speaker 1: Rabit beforehand or something.
18:11
Speaker 4: Well, I think so he's he said talking baseball Garrett
18:16
Speaker 4: Mitchell bull things Carl's So it looks like he did
18:18
Speaker 4: both times.
18:20
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, I don't know. Don't worry about it.
18:21
Speaker 3: Seven one five, Bro, Yeah, we're not. We're not getting disrespect,
18:25
Speaker 3: not getting exactly if we are not.
18:29
Speaker 2: You know, let Chris Sales say what he wants because
18:30
Speaker 2: he lost to the game. He lost the game on
18:33
Speaker 2: Friday against the Brewers.
18:34
Speaker 3: So I just it's fine.
18:37
Speaker 4: Sales a bigger star too in the in the base, Yes,
18:39
Speaker 4: is not that Garrett had a good year.
18:41
Speaker 1: But eight seven seven seven three Stephen and Alaska said,
18:46
Speaker 1: you'll realize it's not so incident if you sit in
18:47
Speaker 1: the parents section listening to parents complain about someone else's kid.
18:50
Speaker 1: It's too much pressure the kids.
18:52
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure it's terrible.
18:53
Speaker 4: I I hear horror We hear horror stories all the
18:56
Speaker 4: time about overbearing parents, and they put their hopes and
18:58
Speaker 4: dreams into these and in very strong emotional ways. And
19:03
Speaker 4: I know how people feel about their kids, and I
19:05
Speaker 4: would only imagine this stuff they're saying, like the politics
19:08
Speaker 4: and the drama of like youth sports amongst the parents.
19:11
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's.
19:11
Speaker 1: Bad regarding the expense of it. Him on the talking
19:15
Speaker 1: text line, how many travel ball moms started only fans
19:18
Speaker 1: pages to pay for bats.
19:19
Speaker 4: And gloves, okay, right out to him, not always thinking
19:21
Speaker 4: about that. I don't think many, to be honest, I
19:24
Speaker 4: don't think many. I think it's funny. But you remember
19:26
Speaker 4: the oldsn L bit with Will Ferrell playing the over
19:28
Speaker 4: angry drunk dad saying, get off the bag, get off
19:31
Speaker 4: the stay in the bag. Ye, I think that that,
19:33
Speaker 4: like unfortunately, probably isn't as much a joke of a
19:35
Speaker 4: parody as it used to be. There's probably a lot
19:38
Speaker 4: of parents yelling at their kids during these games. I
19:41
Speaker 4: don't think it's just about fun when you're starting to
19:42
Speaker 4: pay travel ball costs and taking out taking out loans.
19:46
Speaker 4: Let your kid go play some little league tournament in Charlotte's.
19:50
Speaker 4: But whatever, I mean, this is what we do now.
19:53
Speaker 4: It's an American thing, is his travel ball. Brews won
19:56
Speaker 4: the series in the weekend against the Braves. They did
19:59
Speaker 4: not win the season series.
20:01
Speaker 2: That is deadlocked, which means the Braves would likely have
20:03
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker right now because the tiebreaker would go to
20:05
Speaker 2: division record and that part of Bomber Braves would be
20:08
Speaker 2: ahead of the Brewers.
20:09
Speaker 3: But at least we picked up some space with the Cobbs.
20:12
Speaker 3: Yeah got walked off twice, Yeah, Yeah, so, but still overall.
20:18
Speaker 2: Comes got walked off twice and then the Mariners turned
20:19
Speaker 2: into the Mariners and gave up a couple of touchdowns yesterday.
20:22
Speaker 4: And that thing with the Braves, it's probably something we
20:24
Speaker 4: should be watching more for the first round by like
20:26
Speaker 4: some of us are not. I mean, some of us
20:28
Speaker 4: still just pay attend to the division first. But I know,
20:30
Speaker 4: like Billy's on it and Hunter and stuffing, that's something
20:32
Speaker 4: we're going to watch for Obviously.
20:34
Speaker 1: I've said it.
20:35
Speaker 2: It's it's more important for the Brewers than anybody else
20:37
Speaker 2: because you win the series, you don't have to play.
20:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.
20:41
Speaker 1: It is. It's the same thing with the Packers.
20:43
Speaker 2: All right, we're off and running. Hit us up eight
20:45
Speaker 2: seven seven seven nine seven three. A lot of layers
20:49
Speaker 2: to that. We can peel back the onion on the
20:51
Speaker 2: Little League World Series. Classic cool event. Brewers have a
20:54
Speaker 2: day off today to relax, or will they because they'll

Speaker 5: See your last broadcast.
22:08
Speaker 1: I appreciate everything that you've done for this game.
22:10
Speaker 4: I've been listening to you for a long time and
22:12
Speaker 4: I'm going to share this last one with you.
22:14
Speaker 3: Thank you.
22:15
Speaker 1: M's been a pleasure to share it with you, too.
22:16
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
22:17
Speaker 3: On guys, I want to say.
22:19
Speaker 2: That was the walk off by Garrett Mitchell. So he
22:22
Speaker 2: did say it. He also expounded upon that in the
22:25
Speaker 2: post game. Correct, So they shot in both spots?
22:27
Speaker 3: Yep? Did it both ways?
22:29
Speaker 1: Yeah? And then so Chris Sale got on social media.
22:32
Speaker 2: He saw it on some dugout you know, Bob's base
22:35
Speaker 2: Basement Baseball blog talked about.
22:39
Speaker 1: Cares.
22:40
Speaker 3: I think it's a good account.
22:41
Speaker 4: I'm sure it is, but I don't think it means
22:43
Speaker 4: that the quote unquote media is aggrieving us.
22:45
Speaker 3: But yeah, that was it.
22:47
Speaker 4: I guess someone mentioned Chris and I mentioned the broth. Hey,
22:49
Speaker 4: it's okay, you know what, seven one five. He's got
22:51
Speaker 4: that hometown energy. He's got that hometown protecting my house energy.
22:55
Speaker 4: He's looking for people fighting against his kids.
22:57
Speaker 3: I love that. You know. No, you guys, come on,
22:59
Speaker 3: David for bucking am not a big deal. It's fine.
23:03
Speaker 3: There are real times.
23:04
Speaker 4: When we're getting disrespected as a small market. Let's save
23:06
Speaker 4: our energy for that that this was. This is one
23:09
Speaker 4: of those times. Steve's video experience. Morning guys, Morning Steve.
23:12
Speaker 4: I would like to know more about the video experience.
23:13
Speaker 4: I always see his name, Steve's video experience. I don't
23:16
Speaker 4: know what that experience is, but I'm gonna to check
23:18
Speaker 4: it video experience. I have to check out your account.
23:20
Speaker 4: If you're checking out our video, I'm gonna have to
23:21
Speaker 4: check out yours. That was a YouTube that's got on YouTube.
23:24
Speaker 4: So appreciate you. Good morning Steve. Appreciate everybody watching us
23:28
Speaker 4: already on the on the stream this morning.
23:30
Speaker 3: So back at it. On a Monday, Drew.
23:35
Speaker 2: From the six oh one Brewers flew to New York
23:37
Speaker 2: Saturday after the game, then flew from New York to
23:39
Speaker 2: the Little League City on yesterday.
23:41
Speaker 4: I did a little flight tracking Drew and saw I
23:43
Speaker 4: thought I saw some of that. It's kind of hard
23:45
Speaker 4: to figure out, but I guess, okay.
23:47
Speaker 1: So they must It wasn't a hotel and Williams for
23:50
Speaker 1: for so.
23:51
Speaker 3: I guess that was it.
23:52
Speaker 4: They flew in and out, So yeah, I I I
23:55
Speaker 4: tried tweeting it at him because I noticed that, and
23:57
Speaker 4: I was wondering if they had ever done that, Like,
24:00
Speaker 4: do you remember another time where a pro team flew
24:02
Speaker 4: in day up? Maybe they do that same thing.
24:03
Speaker 1: And uh, and yeah it was because of weather or plane.
24:07
Speaker 4: It's got to be it's got to be extenduing unexpected circumstance.
24:11
Speaker 4: But I guess this way they could get settled in
24:12
Speaker 4: New York with a traveling party, yeah, and then get
24:15
Speaker 4: ready to bring them when they come back after the game,
24:17
Speaker 4: fly back to New York.
24:18
Speaker 3: And get settled into the hotel and stuff like that.
24:21
Speaker 1: We uh, we did talk about the Brewers losing a
24:26
Speaker 1: home game, and I'm sure they were made whole because
24:28
Speaker 1: revenue wise, because otherwise, I mean, you.
24:31
Speaker 3: Team wouldn't go, would wouldn't be fair.
24:33
Speaker 2: Across them a whole gate, and you know, concession parking
24:36
Speaker 2: revenue from a home game, and it would have been
24:38
Speaker 2: a really big crowd on uh yesterday for sure for
24:41
Speaker 2: Bruise Braves from the seven to one to five. Here's
24:45
Speaker 2: the other odd coincidence. Packers had field slipping problems in Brazil.
24:49
Speaker 2: The Brewers David Hamilton slipped and made a huge divot
24:52
Speaker 2: with his spikes last night didn't get the throat of
24:54
Speaker 2: an and it costs us a run.
24:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. That was a tough spot in the game.
24:58
Speaker 4: It was kind of an awkward one, becau it was
25:00
Speaker 4: kind of a dribbler, right, so he had to stop
25:01
Speaker 4: and pull up, but it did slip. Now, is the
25:04
Speaker 4: dirt and Williamsport like inherently worse than any it could be?
25:09
Speaker 3: I guess not as good a field.
25:10
Speaker 2: But the thing is amfam field is much like Lambo.
25:13
Speaker 2: It's regarded as one of the better playing surfaces, especially.
25:17
Speaker 1: In the dome.
25:18
Speaker 3: They do a great job.
25:19
Speaker 2: They do an incredible job. The surface is great. Almost
25:22
Speaker 2: nobody bitches about it. They say it's fine. But I've
25:26
Speaker 2: seen guys in the outfield take up big chunks out
25:28
Speaker 2: there and stuff too.
25:29
Speaker 1: It's like it just happens. It's one of those kind
25:31
Speaker 1: of freaking things.
25:32
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Yeah, that could have happened anywhere anytime.
25:35
Speaker 1: I mean that kind of happened at Truest Park.
25:37
Speaker 4: Guys slip all the time. Now, whether or not we
25:39
Speaker 4: can blame that like for being the reason the Brewers
25:41
Speaker 4: lose a.
25:41
Speaker 1: Game, I don't know.
25:42
Speaker 3: I think it's a stretch.
25:43
Speaker 4: But was that Ryan Woodley is their head groundskeeper, right,
25:46
Speaker 4: I think yeah, he does an amazing job with that,
25:48
Speaker 4: with that field and his.
25:49
Speaker 1: Crewerr So, JB and St. Francis want to know.
25:51
Speaker 2: The loss of the home game is one thing, But
25:53
Speaker 2: would Contrarassa's deep ball have gone out.
25:55
Speaker 1: In Amfam Field?
25:57
Speaker 2: And I can say, as wrenching as it was to
26:00
Speaker 2: watch that, the answer is no.
26:02
Speaker 1: According to Statcast.
26:04
Speaker 2: Stat Cast said that that would have been a home
26:06
Speaker 2: run in seven big league ballparks, not including American Family.
26:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you can get there's kind of a
26:12
Speaker 4: visual trick with the stadium, right because it's like kind
26:15
Speaker 4: of a more open outfield, so it looks bigger probably
26:17
Speaker 4: than it might actually be.
26:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Adam Mcalvey posted it Sutter Health Park.
26:26
Speaker 1: That's where the Isn't that where the A's are playing.
26:29
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, Angel Stadium, Dodger Stadium, City Field, Great American Ballpark,
26:36
Speaker 2: and Globe Life Field would have been a home run,
26:39
Speaker 2: not a home run at am fam Well or in
26:41
Speaker 2: Atlanta or fen So seven parts would be gone. We're
26:47
Speaker 2: getting screwed, yeah, Adam said, I don't know if the
26:50
Speaker 2: robots of the stat Cast overlords are sensitive to the
26:53
Speaker 2: thick cool air.
26:54
Speaker 1: At Williamsport Lost.
26:56
Speaker 3: We're really nippicking. He said it was thick cool air.
26:59
Speaker 3: Aren't they in the appellations?
27:01
Speaker 1: I don't know. Thick are on tours Bilt? I don't know.
27:04
Speaker 1: I mean, but I mean, I don't know.
27:06
Speaker 3: I don't. I didn't think about any of this stuff.
27:08
Speaker 3: I like that people.
27:08
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I mean, if they weren't the Pole Grounds,
27:12
Speaker 4: would Willie Mays have caught Vic Wartz's flapall in the center.
27:15
Speaker 1: Reference on going all the way back to nineteen fifty,
27:18
Speaker 1: one of the most.
27:18
Speaker 3: Famous catches ever. Because the Pole Grounds.
27:21
Speaker 1: Was deep, it was like five hundred feet to center field.
27:23
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, is it. I'm not saying these
27:26
Speaker 4: aren't fun questions to ask. I'm just saying, are we
27:28
Speaker 4: trying to say we're great? We're being like we got screwed?
27:31
Speaker 4: We've got beating the ball game?
27:33
Speaker 3: Guys.
27:33
Speaker 1: It's a fun night. And the Cubs.
27:36
Speaker 2: If you hate watching the Cubs on Friday or Saturday,
27:40
Speaker 2: you had a good night.
27:41
Speaker 1: And they got walked off twice.
27:43
Speaker 3: And then I was great.
27:44
Speaker 1: I was at a gathering yesterday.
27:46
Speaker 2: I was at this event yesterday and a friend had
27:48
Speaker 2: the Cubs game up on his phone. He was kind
27:51
Speaker 2: of hate watching the Cubs. Yesterday afternoon they played the Mariners,
27:55
Speaker 2: that's your point, and Rose Arena hit like a homer,
28:00
Speaker 2: and the Mariners were up early, and I, you know,
28:03
Speaker 2: every once in a while, Arman, blind squirrel your boy here,
28:06
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, you know what, after getting walked off,
28:09
Speaker 2: the Cubs are due to hang a crooked number on somebody.
28:12
Speaker 2: And I said, and these Mariners just gave up a
28:15
Speaker 2: couple of touchdowns against the Brewers, didn't they.
28:18
Speaker 1: And I just kind of said, they said, yeah, And
28:20
Speaker 1: this was like in the second inning.
28:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you see the final Yeah, it was like
28:24
Speaker 4: seventeen to two or nineteen to two, nineteen to two. Yeah, boy,
28:29
Speaker 4: the Mariners. If you're a run differential guy, they're getting
28:31
Speaker 4: really messed up on that. God, however, would you rather
28:34
Speaker 4: win two out of three and then lose one?
28:35
Speaker 1: Well, that's think it was one like that, of course
28:37
Speaker 1: you would. You might.
28:38
Speaker 4: Now the run differential guys would disagree. They'd say, overtime,
28:40
Speaker 4: you want runs, not win.
28:42
Speaker 1: It equals out.
28:43
Speaker 3: I know, it's still.
28:44
Speaker 1: A run differential.
28:45
Speaker 2: Still a pretty good Pythagorean indicator of how you should
28:48
Speaker 2: be playing and how you're playing. But nevertheless, I kind
28:52
Speaker 2: of I felt it in my bones that the Cubs
28:54
Speaker 2: were due to get up off the mat because you know,
28:57
Speaker 2: Friday didn't go their way.
28:58
Speaker 1: Council got ejected over the week on his birthday.
29:01
Speaker 4: That's when he made the bully men and he's gonna,
29:03
Speaker 4: you know, get your back then.
29:04
Speaker 1: So yeah, they man, so yeah, cups put it up.
29:09
Speaker 1: But the Brewer is still And it's funny.
29:11
Speaker 2: I'm talking to fans yesterday when you know they were
29:13
Speaker 2: they were feeling it because at the time, before the
29:17
Speaker 2: results of yesterday, the Birse had a seven game lead.
29:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a lot of us they're.
29:21
Speaker 1: Like, oh god, I can breathe again.
29:22
Speaker 2: We got down to four, Oh my god, I got three,
29:24
Speaker 2: Oh my god, and then it was much more.
29:27
Speaker 1: Comfortable at seven.
29:28
Speaker 2: Seems like I'm like, you know, I know, you you
29:31
Speaker 2: follow the horse race, but you just think to yourself,
29:35
Speaker 2: like where are they going to end up?
29:37
Speaker 1: Like what it's where you end up? Right?
29:39
Speaker 2: The day to day is interesting to watch, but does
29:41
Speaker 2: it really matter what the leader is a certain point,
29:44
Speaker 2: like how many games are you gonna win?
29:45
Speaker 1: Total?
29:46
Speaker 4: Well, it matters to an extent because if someone eventually
29:48
Speaker 4: passes you like three with someone, it just when it
29:53
Speaker 4: got to three it was more nerve wracking than now
29:56
Speaker 4: because you had less cushion.
29:57
Speaker 3: But I get your point. It's like these things.
29:59
Speaker 2: But having the cushion doesn't mean you can go ahead
30:01
Speaker 2: and lose games because you got a cushion. Is what
30:03
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Is you're trying to get to wherever you're
30:05
Speaker 2: gonna get to.
30:06
Speaker 4: Well, you want the buys and stuff, there's other things.
30:08
Speaker 4: There's other fish to fry for the Bruers.
30:09
Speaker 2: Because if I'm not mistaken, don't the Brewers have the
30:11
Speaker 2: Brewers are now eighty one and fifty right, you know.
30:14
Speaker 4: It's fantastic. I mean that's amazing. I mean we're talking.
30:17
Speaker 4: We're not even the end of August.
30:19
Speaker 1: Obviously, it is amazing.
30:20
Speaker 4: It's August twenty fourth, and this team if they go
30:22
Speaker 4: eighteen and fourteen, Drew, I think that's the number they
30:24
Speaker 4: can win a hundred, all right, nineteen and.
30:27
Speaker 1: It will be nineteen and nineteen and twelve twelve it okay,
30:32
Speaker 1: all right, the Witch. That's a pretty good stretch. It's
30:35
Speaker 1: going to be. I don't think they're going to get
30:36
Speaker 1: to one hundred, but that'd be pretty.
30:38
Speaker 4: Much what they should but they should be in line
30:39
Speaker 4: to comfortably get ninety six to ninety eight wins here.
30:43
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm comfortable.
30:44
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, ninety six, you go five hundred,
30:46
Speaker 2: five hundred, five hundred gets you to like ninety six,
30:48
Speaker 2: that'd be great.
30:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:50
Speaker 2: But that's the thing is, like you think in those terms,
30:53
Speaker 2: what do the Brewers have to do if the Brewers
30:55
Speaker 2: play five hundred ball the rest of the year?
30:57
Speaker 1: Whitch? How many times have I said it? You've heard
30:59
Speaker 1: me say it.
31:00
Speaker 2: When you're a good team, that's your baseline, Yes, like
31:03
Speaker 2: you're playing five hundred spin in your wheels, thirty one
31:05
Speaker 2: games left? Right, So thirty one games left. Say the
31:07
Speaker 2: Brewers win, say fifteen, fifteen or sixteen. Yeah, let's say
31:11
Speaker 2: they go fifteen and sixteen, which would be like a
31:13
Speaker 2: bad stretch for them. Right, that's puts you at ninety
31:16
Speaker 2: six wins. Now, look down at the Cubs. Cubs are
31:20
Speaker 2: seventy five and fifty six, so they have to win
31:25
Speaker 2: twenty one of their remaining to get to ninety six.
31:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, so obviously, so that's what you keep in your mind.
31:30
Speaker 2: And that's like you can follow the machinations and the
31:33
Speaker 2: day to day, and even will be really hyper focused
31:36
Speaker 2: on it because people say the games count double next
31:38
Speaker 2: next week when they start their little tournament of seven
31:40
Speaker 2: times and ten days.
31:41
Speaker 1: Sure.
31:41
Speaker 2: Sure, And my theory and that is like, don't freak
31:43
Speaker 2: out about that. Unless one team goes six and one
31:46
Speaker 2: or five and two, it's not a kind of swing
31:48
Speaker 2: it that much because I just assume it's going to
31:49
Speaker 2: be three and four, four and three one way.
31:51
Speaker 1: Or because the're pretty evenly matched.
31:53
Speaker 4: So unless you have a streak like that, it won't
31:55
Speaker 4: swing it.
31:57
Speaker 1: If you run the table.
31:58
Speaker 2: If one team runs the table, it's catastrophic for the other.
32:02
Speaker 3: That's how fans think.
32:03
Speaker 2: Unless that happens, if the normal course of things happens,
32:07
Speaker 2: it's just you know, it's actually just one more game.
32:10
Speaker 4: Right, But fans freak out about the disaster, the sky
32:12
Speaker 4: falling scenario. Course, But you're right because of the Okay,
32:15
Speaker 4: but that's I mean, because you have a bigger lead now,
32:18
Speaker 4: you feel safe for going into that series.
32:20
Speaker 1: Although that's not licensed to lose games. That's what I'm saying.
32:23
Speaker 2: Don't you want the you want that to step on
32:27
Speaker 2: the gas, all gas, no break mentality.
32:29
Speaker 4: Sure, you hope the burs keep their pace that they've
32:32
Speaker 4: kept in and try and win a Hunter games if
32:34
Speaker 4: they can.
32:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think there's no there's no question about put.
32:37
Speaker 1: It this way. I'd rather be six up than six.
32:39
Speaker 4: Downs, absolutely absolutely, And if I'd rather be six up than.
32:42
Speaker 1: Three up, and I'd rather be three up than three down,
32:45
Speaker 1: I rather three up town even absolutely.
32:46
Speaker 3: But you want to be as good as you can
32:48
Speaker 3: be all the time.
32:49
Speaker 4: Like I'm sure there's even fans that are waking up
32:51
Speaker 4: disappointed because they were seven up and they could have
32:53
Speaker 4: gone there.
32:53
Speaker 3: It could have gone up in seven and.
32:55
Speaker 4: Stay like it's just that it's just the way you
32:57
Speaker 4: think on a date. But that's what makes baseball funny
32:59
Speaker 4: on a day to day basis, And we talked about it, yeah,
33:02
Speaker 4: is that you're.
33:02
Speaker 3: Able to follow that from day to day.
33:04
Speaker 1: Yep.
33:05
Speaker 3: You don't really have that in the NFL. And then
33:06
Speaker 3: you don't care.
33:07
Speaker 2: By the way, you're old enough to remember when people
33:10
Speaker 2: thought the Pirates were going to be good this year,
33:11
Speaker 2: and like they were like.
33:12
Speaker 1: Oh, they're gonna be good.
33:13
Speaker 3: They're work, they're spending money, guys.
33:14
Speaker 2: And then I got a bunch of people in the
33:16
Speaker 2: Ozarks pissed when I went on the thing and we
33:19
Speaker 2: posted the clip of me saying like the Cardinals are
33:22
Speaker 2: a year or two away from even threatening where the
33:24
Speaker 2: Brewers are now, and people were and people were coming
33:27
Speaker 2: at me from Saint Louis.
33:29
Speaker 1: Cardinals, I remember, are five hundred. They've lost three in
33:33
Speaker 1: a row, but they're they're five hundred. But the Pirates
33:36
Speaker 1: now are them? Pirates are eighteen and a half games
33:38
Speaker 1: out of first. Yeah, the Creams risen to the top. Yeah,
33:41
Speaker 1: and it didn't take long. You know, it takes a
33:43
Speaker 1: couple of months, but it's spaced Brewers exactly.
33:46
Speaker 3: That's the way it always.
33:47
Speaker 2: You can look great through the All Star break, but
33:50
Speaker 2: you can try to tell how your team is built.
33:52
Speaker 2: And that's I learned that from the Saint Louis guys
33:53
Speaker 2: when they used to tell me that about the Brewers. Oh,
33:55
Speaker 2: you got a nice squad here, but you're not built
33:57
Speaker 2: to last for one hundred and sixty two.
34:00
Speaker 3: It takes a long time in turn that shown.
34:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, it absolutely does, absolutely does. Billy's gonna be in
34:05
Speaker 1: at six. We got Dolphin at halftime at six.
34:08
Speaker 3: Thirty, Hunter report, we got one come.
34:10
Speaker 2: We're gonna spend through Hunter's recap of last evening's proceedings,
34:14

34:16
Speaker 2: the Packers will get his thoughts about Friday night in Denver.

34:31

Speaker 2: Hunter Bombguard, who recapped last evening's proceedings and will catch
36:23
Speaker 2: us up on all things Brewers. Take it away, Hunter.
36:27
Speaker 5: Thanks guys. A four to two loss for the Brewers
36:29
Speaker 5: last night to the Braves at the Little League Classic.
36:31
Speaker 5: Main reason for their loss they were two for twelve
36:34
Speaker 5: with runners in scoring position and left eleven men on base.
36:37
Speaker 5: That's usually not going to win you a lot of ballgames.
36:40
Speaker 5: Garrett Mitchell left the game after being hit in the
36:43
Speaker 5: forearm with a pitch. You never loved to see that,
36:46
Speaker 5: but initial testing says it is just a bruise. Per
36:50
Speaker 5: the Brewers, so hoping that he doesn't miss any time.
36:53
Speaker 5: We'll get more of an update coming up tomorrow when
36:56
Speaker 5: the Brewers travel to New York to face the Mets
36:59
Speaker 5: over the next three days, starting Tomorrow night, all three
37:03
Speaker 5: games going to start just after six. I'll have you
37:05

Speaker 5: for exceptional vehicle care on South twenty seventh, just north
37:25
Speaker 5: of eight ninety four. Back to you guys.
37:27
Speaker 1: Thank you. Hunter b always working hard, even on the weekends.
37:30
Speaker 3: For always.
37:31
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure Hunter had some fomo and would
37:34
Speaker 2: have loved to have been his love of baseball in.
37:36
Speaker 1: The fact that he used to coach.
37:37
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, there's the guy who should
37:39
Speaker 3: have been for it.
37:40
Speaker 4: Well, Heast year's Hunter, But that would have been awesome
37:42
Speaker 4: because I know he would have loved we Sport.
37:44
Speaker 2: It seems like it'd be a cool thing to experience
37:47
Speaker 2: as an interesting hypothetical. We always have those, like velvet
37:50
Speaker 2: rope things or VIP trips. Sure would you rather go
37:54
Speaker 2: to Williamsport to experience the Little League World Series or
37:58
Speaker 2: Omaha for the College College World Series?
38:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure both of a similar feel. I think
38:03
Speaker 3: a lot of that.
38:04
Speaker 1: There's more drinking into bachery in Omaha. That's probably where
38:06
Speaker 1: I'm going.
38:07
Speaker 4: I think if you're looking at a party, yeah, that
38:09
Speaker 4: would be it, right. The college the college bars.
38:12
Speaker 1: And Omaha is kind of like Milwaukee was smaller version.
38:14
Speaker 4: But if you're looking for more of a family friendly experience,
38:18
Speaker 4: that's probably don't think that.
38:19
Speaker 2: Bars have like shot competitions exactly in Williamsport.
38:23
Speaker 1: I've never been there.
38:23
Speaker 2: I can't say that definitively, but I'm going to guess
38:26
Speaker 2: that the drunken debauchery like, well, yeah, I don't think that.
38:30
Speaker 2: I don't think the South Korean contingent is going to
38:32
Speaker 2: try to out drink the LSU contingent.
38:36
Speaker 3: I mean, I get your point now.
38:38
Speaker 4: The thing is, you know I'm saying, I think it's
38:40
Speaker 4: also one of those things where what's going to be
38:42
Speaker 4: going on there when the.
38:43
Speaker 3: Game and the tournament isn't happening.
38:45
Speaker 4: It's like when I went to Churchill Downs in Kentucky,
38:49
Speaker 4: there was the the Kentucky Derby was not going on.
38:52
Speaker 4: We were there for a bachelor party. We took a tour.
38:54
Speaker 4: It was still fun to see the track and to
38:56
Speaker 4: be at the tour. I don't know, I mean walking
38:59
Speaker 4: around the little league fields would be cool, I think,
39:01
Speaker 4: but I think it'd be just a set of little
39:02
Speaker 4: league fields if you were.
39:03
Speaker 3: I'm not wrong.
39:04
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it
39:06
Speaker 4: would be the same as if the energy of the
39:08
Speaker 4: tournament wasn't there at the time.
39:09
Speaker 3: College World Series might be different.
39:11
Speaker 4: Plus you're in Omaha, so but I think you're right
39:13
Speaker 4: drawding that one depends on your lifestyle and what you're
39:16
Speaker 4: looking for.
39:17
Speaker 1: Uh, for sure, it's true.
39:18
Speaker 3: I think that that's that's the case.
39:19
Speaker 1: That's true, all right.
39:21
Speaker 2: So one of the things that stood out to me
39:24
Speaker 2: about the Little Leage World Series and stuff is and
39:27
Speaker 2: we're seeing it And I made the comparison last year
39:30
Speaker 2: when he kind of burst on the scene. Completely different,
39:33
Speaker 2: I know, but I said, Missus, watching miss early is
39:35
Speaker 2: like watching Giannis early, watching him develop and bleue meat
39:38
Speaker 2: like he's miss was maybe a little more advanced miss
39:42
Speaker 2: the scene.
39:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're honest, I'm I mean it was.
