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

21:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, hang out and not bad they day and Queen,
21:02
Speaker 3: I'm not really a lot of options. They stay in Midtown,
21:05
Speaker 3: They're in Midtown City is their oyster. Guys will have
21:08
Speaker 3: some fun today and tonight.
21:10
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good day off to be in New

Speaker 3: Wayne at seven to twenty five, so we'll get the
21:35
Speaker 3: little tip of Wayne.
21:36
Speaker 1: Voice of the Packers Wayne there today. That's what I thought. Yeah,

21:41
Speaker 3: We'll do Hunter Tuesday and Thursday going forward, and then
21:44
Speaker 3: we'll do Wayne in Friday and Friday.

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

Speaker 1: who recapped last evening's proceedings and will catch us up
36:23
Speaker 1: on all things Brewers. Take it away, Hunter, Thanks guys.
36:28
Speaker 5: A four to two loss for the Brewers last night
36:30
Speaker 5: to the Braves at the Little League Classic. Main reason
36:32
Speaker 5: for their loss they were two for twelve with runners
36:35
Speaker 5: in scoring position and left eleven men on base. That's
36:38
Speaker 5: 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.
36:49
Speaker 2: Just a bruise.
36:50
Speaker 5: Per 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 the baseball pregame show all three nights Tuesday, Wednesday,
37:08
Speaker 5: Thursday on Fox Sports nine twenty and Milwaukee and our

Speaker 5: social channels five to six Can't Wait and the starting
37:13
Speaker 5: pitchers for the series for the Brewers Kyle Harrison on Tuesday,
37:16
Speaker 5: Dustin May on Wednesday, and Jacob Izarowski on Thursday. This
37:20
Speaker 5: report brought to you by import Minded, your trusted choice
37:22
Speaker 5: for exceptional vehicle care on South twenty seventh, just north
37:25
Speaker 5: of eight ninety four.
37:26
Speaker 1: Back to you guys. Thank you Hunter b always working hard,
37:29
Speaker 1: even on the weekends, for always. I mean, I'm sure
37:33
Speaker 1: Hunter had some fomo and would love to have been
37:35
Speaker 1: his love of baseball in the fact that he used
37:37
Speaker 1: 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 well these years, Hunter, But that
37:41
Speaker 3: would have been awesome because I know he would have
37:43
Speaker 3: loved we Sport.
37:44
Speaker 1: It seems like it'd be a cool thing to experience
37:47
Speaker 1: as an interesting hypothetical. We always have those, like velvet
37:50
Speaker 1: rope things or VIP trips. Sure would you rather go
37:54
Speaker 1: to Williamsport to experience the Little League World Series or
37:58
Speaker 1: 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.
38:06
Speaker 2: That's probably where I'm going. I think if you're looking
38:07
Speaker 2: at a party, yeah, that would be it, right. The
38:10
Speaker 2: college the college.
38:11
Speaker 1: Bars and Omaha is kind of like Milwaukee was smaller version.
38:14
Speaker 3: But if you're looking for more of a family friendly experience,
38:18
Speaker 3: that's probably don't think that.
38:19
Speaker 1: Bars have like shot competitions exactly in Williamsport. I've never
38:23
Speaker 1: been there, i can't say that definitively, but I'm going
38:26
Speaker 1: to guess that the drunken debauchery like well, yeah, I
38:28
Speaker 1: don't think that. I don't think the South Korean contingent
38:32
Speaker 1: is going to try to out drink the LSU contingent.
38:36
Speaker 2: I mean, I get your point now.
38:38
Speaker 3: The thing is, you know I'm saying, I think it's
38:40
Speaker 3: also one of those things where what's going to be
38:42
Speaker 3: going on there when the game and the tournament isn't happening.
38:45
Speaker 3: It's like when I went to Churchill Downs in Kentucky,
38:49
Speaker 3: there was the the Kentucky Derby was not going on.
38:52
Speaker 3: We were there for a bachelor party, we took a tour.
38:54
Speaker 3: It was still fun to see the track and to
38:56
Speaker 3: be at the tour.
38:58
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean walking around the little.
39:00
Speaker 3: League fields would be cool, I think, but I think
39:01
Speaker 3: it'd be just a set of little league fields if
39:03
Speaker 3: you were.
39:03
Speaker 2: I'm not wrong.
39:04
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it
39:06
Speaker 3: would be the same as if the energy of the
39:08
Speaker 3: tournament wasn't there at the time. College World Series might
39:10
Speaker 3: be different. Plus you're in Omaha, so but I think
39:13
Speaker 3: you're right drawing that one depends on your lifestyle and
39:16
Speaker 3: what you're looking for.
39:17
Speaker 1: Uh, for sure, it's true.
39:18
Speaker 2: I think that that's that's the case.
39:19
Speaker 1: That's true, all right. So one of the things that
39:23
Speaker 1: stood out to me about the Little leagu World Series
39:25
Speaker 1: and stuff is and we're seeing it And I made
39:29
Speaker 1: the comparison last year when he kind of burst on
39:31
Speaker 1: the scene. Completely different, I know, but I said, Missus
39:34
Speaker 1: watching miss early is like watching Giannis early, watching him
39:37
Speaker 1: develop and Blue Meat like he's miss was maybe a
39:40
Speaker 1: little more advanced miss.
39:42
Speaker 2: On the scene.
39:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're honest, I'm I mean it was a slow
39:45
Speaker 3: build because he put on it took time.
39:47
Speaker 1: He put on you know, the muscle and became the
39:49
Speaker 1: Adonnas that he is now, but it was similar and
39:52
Speaker 1: then you're watching miss and he was like Missus that
39:56
Speaker 1: drove it home like these these uh the videos of
39:59
Speaker 1: him walking around that complex with a throng of kids
40:02
Speaker 1: behind him. He's the rock star, like he's rock He's
40:05
Speaker 1: the guy that kids are grown up wanting to be him.
40:08
Speaker 2: Young guy.
40:08
Speaker 3: He can do amazing things in the field, and he's
40:11
Speaker 3: he's into Pokemon.
40:12
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's a lot of reasons why yeah.
40:14
Speaker 1: But he is like he is an absolute star and
