• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the iHeart Radio app, and of course we're streaming live
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on YouTube, Facebook and the X. Game balls and kicks
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of the balls. It's basic, it's obvious, but we haven't
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: done it yet. Game ball iron Eagle. Then he's uh,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: he doesn't miss all right up there man with the greats.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: No and and shout out man that hold that broadcast group.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: I might not be the biggest jim Nantz fan in
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: the world, right, So I'm right there with you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm my disdain for jim Nantz approaches Zabe's disdain for
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: al Michael's right, But.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Does it depend on the sport? Like do you do
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: you like it more and masters versus you know first?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Butler perfect?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that that's that's where he should be.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: He should be a golf guy, and I think he's
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: a phenomenal golf call uh player.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I also feel bad for him because he has to
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: work with Tony Romo, right like that that's a tough,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: tough assignment. But Iron Eagle is the best that there
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: is and that broadcast crew of him, Grant Hill and
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Bill Raftery, Bill Raft is a one. There's not gonna
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: be one that replaces it. But Grant Hill, I think
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: has been and maybe a little unsung in this. He
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: plays to all of it, right like, because he was
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: the best player of a of a generation at one point,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: right like before the injuries, he was the best player
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: a lot of people had seen who's outside of Michael
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: and all those guys, but like he was the guy
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: that might take over.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: They were calling the next Michael he could be the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: next one of that stuff, the.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: One that titles a duke.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: But yesterday you could tell like he's just a fan
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: of the sport, even though he's looking over at raft
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: on that sweet video that everybody has now of the
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: broadcasters saying, how.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Do you not just hold the basketball?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Bill, just hold the basketball? Well, you can tell his
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: heart's hurting for duke, but.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: He was still dialed in on the game because it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: just an elite moment there those three.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That's a tremendous Final four pairing.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: It is, And Grant's always been a stately professional on
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and off the court. He does it as a broadcaster,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: doesn't draw attention to himself, but loves to explain the game,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: and it picks his spots. He's perfect in that role. Yeah,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: that must have been extra extra painful for him. Thought
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he was going to see a duke Final four, had
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: to see them who's.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: In that fashion?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: But that grouping, that pairing, I mean that broadcast team.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: There have been so many good ones. That's a really
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: good one. So you think that was a good call?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: What do you guys think?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: The Sickos community, which I just found earlier today on
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: AX Shout out to this account. Uh, it might be
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: my new most frequented account Thickos because the Sigos were
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: out and they wanted to hear one thing. They wanted
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: to hear one thing, and a kick to the balls
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: to the Duke radio team that had to call the
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Yukon game wind for Boozer, followed.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: It back for Sar and needs to get rid of it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Does for Kaiden seven.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: Seconds trying to throw it ahead, deflected, stolen by Connecticut
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: two seconds. It's Mullin's up top for the win. Oh,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: he hit it with three tints of a second ago.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Kyle Kai Smith ran off the bench. That should be
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: a technical. We three tints of a second ago. Connecticut
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: has the least seventy three to seventy two, as Connecticut
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: got the.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Three from Mullins.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: After the turnover from Caden Boozer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: The best is he immediately goes to technical. Yes, I
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: meant ultimate, like the ultimate.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Let's try and you know, get ourselves saved here with
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: some rule book technical for the privileged few, like when
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that big time dork with the Greendale tennis team tried
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to pull out the rule book on me when I
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: was a freshman in tennis that I was taking over
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: ninety seconds on the change, but just I had to
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: get that one. And yeah, wow, I mean he was
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: still trying, he was still trying to provide a hope
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: for Duke Nation, and it wasn't there kicking the ball.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that is just an epically you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that's one of the most painfully wonderful calls. You that's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the thing, because it is a really good call. It's
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a great call, and it's painful for Duke and you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: can hear the pain. But oh yeah, since I'm not
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: a Duke fan, I don't feel it. So it's like,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: you know, but it's one of those men. And then
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: yeah again once again sparking the conversation when it's a
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: game ball and it kicked to the ball for Dan
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Hurley's strutting around like a peacock with his jacket half
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: off after that, thinking he did something special.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: He didn't, brother.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you coach your team to three final fours,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: But who's the bigger villain?
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Dan Hurley? Er Duke?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: These days for sports fans, I'm not really sure I'd
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: still Duke, but the brand right, but oh my goodness.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: All right, But vicariously, here's one for you. I'm gonna
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: give a game ball because we can't. You can't underestimate.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And they're talking about it in Connecticut today. The boost
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that Armor Sarian and the Ring out a Hoya crew
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: gave to Yukon with that focusing them, with that late
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: season l that that turned, that snapped them to attention
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and helped them ride a wave to the finals.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Must you must have been reading the text thread with
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: my mu boys, buddies. That's the eleven man text thread
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: we have that said where the credits? We should be
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: getting credits and it's the obviously, hey we were good
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: enough we beat a final four team.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: You know that's true.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: The other one but yes, but that one in the
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: after Shaka, absolutely maybe we should.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: No, we won't.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: The well time loss is always, always, but often a
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: key indicator for tournament teams. A lot of teams see
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: that the well time loss Marquette was that time loss
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: for the Yukon Huskies that went on out to the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: final four, maybe longer.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: So the tough thing is, I'm actually gonna give another
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: kick to the balls to Duke because if they would
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: have just bowed out against Saint John's That was an
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: all time great game this.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Year, great great game.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: But I desperately wanted to see Patino and Hurley part three.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: I wanted to see those guys on the sideline with
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: the trip to the Final four on the line so badly. Hurley,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I've gone through, I've gone through all of the circles
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: with Dan Hurley. Because there was a moment yesterday as
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I'm calling him Danny. Remember Danny did change his name.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: He was Danny when he first got that job at
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Duke or at Yukon. Now he's Dan. He was on
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Dan Patrick earlier last week. What you hear right after
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: this show? And Dan asked him, You're gonna go back
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: to Danny. He goes, yeah, maybe when I'm like sixty
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: and I got to try to feel young again.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: But I'm pretty young right now. So all right, Danny, Okay, Bud.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: But he has got to be the most entertaining guy
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: on the sideline that we have in college basketball, right,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, if you're gonna see somebody go through
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: all the stages of celebrate, elation and absolute heartbreak, it
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: was him or his parents in the crowd shout out
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: CBS for being able to true. Get that incredible shot
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: of his parents all dropping simultaneously.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Holy bleeping bleep, we just won. Oh my god.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: And Dan Hurley's dad with a single tear in his
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: eye knowing all of the excitement.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: That was pretty cool. Yeah, if you know the.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: History of the Hurles and stuff like that, I get, Yeah,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: that part is pretty cool. But man, wouldn't that have
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: been absolute cinema just to get Patino in him last time?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And I guess at game balls to the to Father
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Shanley and the good uh, the good priests and the
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the good Jesuit priests in Jamaica, Queens, New York for
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: extending uh Patina, that's like, hey, you want that's enough
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: for us. We don't care about the right. So they've
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: secured him. He's got more years, probably gonna end his
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: career there obviously, but uh, man, that would have been
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: fantastic to see one last time.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nicolay Lo dot Com talking text line,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: share your game balls and kicks the balls Mike and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee to the balls to the Brewers.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: What's the matter?
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: All they did was win three games, have a delicious
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: comeback walk off yesterday he said, Nope, the New City
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: connect jerseys that leaked are horrible.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did see that. Now are those are those?
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Is this a real?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows, Nobody knows.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Adamccalley wrote a story about the Brewers denied like, couldn't comment.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Someone leaked it the jersey, says Whisko, it's a different
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: color way.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's orange. It's got some orange. Yeah, it's got some
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: orange in it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know if those are legit or if
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: someone's it's a photoshop dream for somebody.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say I don't like them either,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: But nothing will ever top what we already had.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: But Murph went out of his way to say on
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: opening day, I think that this is the States team,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the entire state. So maybe that was a little bit
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of a foreshadowing that they want to lean into that
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit. But Whisko, like, first of all, no
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one says Whisco. Now that's the problem. Yes, no one
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: here says it. Some Badger students say that, don't they like, no, No,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I mean the.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: SCN more than anything. But yeah, yeah, Wisco is not
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: necessarily used. That would be like I think in San Francisco,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: people calling it San fran they don't do that.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: No one, No one there calls it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They don't call it Frisco. So that's a that's a
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: no one in Boston, says bean Town.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: So I thought the reason why we got.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Rid of the brew Crew jerseys was because it was
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: for the new powder blue with Milwaukee across the front
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: that I would.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Have been okay with.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I love the brew Crew like I think that that
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: one is good, maybe my favorite one that they've had
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: of any kind of alternate that would be the all
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: time best, definitely tops even the old gold ones that
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: they had, which were an interesting Sunday best.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: They weren't they weren't the worst. Well, let's give a
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: kicking the ball.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Who really deserves it in this situation, and it's fanatics,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: And that's absolutely fanatics because they're pressuring all these leagues
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: to keep in these teams Michael Rubin right, to keep
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: coming up with more city connects and more you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: legend connects and a more alternate jerseys. And you can't
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: keep doing all these alternate jerseys and come up with
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: like good looking jerseys.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: So let's just give a kick in the balls to
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: where it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Belongs to all alternate jerseys and the proliferation of them,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: which is solely the faults of fanatics and their desire
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to ruin everything about sports hosiery. That's my opinion, is
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: that the right to upholstery.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Something like that posary just socks.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: That's the problem that that we've got too many alternate
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: jerseys these days, and it's directly because the leagues want
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: to make money with fanatics and stuff like that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: I got a I got a pair of kicks to
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: the balls here, both to me, first off, for me
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: getting ready to make fun of Bill Murray yesterday when
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I'm like, wait, I thought he was a Xavier fan
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: and then he's got a Chicago hat on kicking balls
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: to me for not realizing his son was on the staff,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: and yeah, Soun's a coach. That's why he's been doing
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: all that amazing, amazing video of them celebrating. I'm like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: get Bill Murray off my damn television. How many different
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: schools does he have to?
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: Thought?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: You thought he was drake? I just thought he was
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: draking it. I just thought he was a fan of
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: whoever's Yeah.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I saw people would jump on him and I'm like,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: did they not know that his son's yeah?
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Right, here hand raising and air had no clue his
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: son was a coach. That's okay. We all learned things
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: for the first.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Time eight years old, until I realized that his son
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: is well and he's now going to be the new
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: coach at Boston College.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: So enjoy that three years. So you don't take a
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: new joke. You're gonna say they have not been relevant.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: That's gonna be. That's a tough gig to get in.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: UH is seven thirteen, and it's probably about time that
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: we said this one.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I kicked at the balls for me for.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: UH missing the Christian Yellick home run.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, Billy ailed it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Now tale as old as time Brewers fans, and you're welcome.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: You're welcome.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: I think we're gonna start with that because if there's
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: ever one kind of list of something that only happens
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: drew in the last two years, I have taken my
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: young son, who is about as big of a Brewers
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: fan as you're gonna find at the age of three, UH,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: to a number of different games and a number of
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: different incredible moments that we have seen on either forrest
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: home or on television when we have gotten home, like
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: the Christian Yelich walk off Grand Slam last year, or
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: the Brewers three run comeback against the Nationals that Caleb
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Durban hit a baseball that legitimately would have landed right
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: in front of where the crew was sitting, to another
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: walk off later into the year. Luckily we had to
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: run the basis so we didn't miss the Isaac Collins
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: walk off home run last year.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Otherwise we would have done that.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: And when my wife asked me a end of the
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: seventh inning, do we try to see one more?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Because I think.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Benson's getting I think he's done. I think the ten
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: month old. Pardon me, I think the eleven month old
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: is done. I think it's about time for him to go. Oh,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: they're not doing anything, are you kidding me? We've watched
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: this whole thing. We've watched this whole game. They're three
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: for sixteen with runners in scoring position. Absolutely, we're getting
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: out of here and beating this traffic with an entire
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: ripped up eight ninety four. And thank god for a
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Brewer yours radio and Lane Grendle for doing an excellent
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: job celebrating and letting us all know of the six
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: run rally.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Amazing that we ended up missing. Yeah, so you're welcomes fans.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: The only way they were gonna win that game is
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: if I laughed early and then there you go.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: You get it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You get an asterisk though, because you ail it. That
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: always leave early the z abe coin should.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: We stay or go stay? Go ail it beat the traffic.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: But when you have kids in the mix, man, it's
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: definitely if you can get your kid to the sausage race,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you're winning, right and you don't want to miss that,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like once they're done, like they're not hungry anymore and stuff.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: It's hard to keep the attention on a baseball game
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: for a little.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Kid, and we were struggling because Drew the pitch clock
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: couldn't even help that game yesterday.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I mean it was an our first.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Kick to the ball to me because I'm big on
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: like time of game now because as a beat guy,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I watched a lot of bad baseball games that took forever,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and I think the pitch clock is one of the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: greatest inventions in sports.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Up there, point line and totally clock shot o'clock.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And the Brewer's first three games have all been north
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of three hours, which is marathon in this territory. But Okay,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: opening Day, the White Sox struck out twenty times and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: walked ten. Hard to play a game when you have
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: but the Brewers, when you average like seven pitches in
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: at bat and you file pitches off and Yelich spoiled
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: if he fouled off a pitch that was a key
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: in his.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Game went, it's the Brewers. I've adopted that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: The Yankees did.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It for years and we're grinding, and the Yankees games
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: always take long for whatever reason. But Dodgers, when you
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: have a good team and you work at bats and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: work counts and get deep into counts like that, you
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: still might struggle on offense. Doesn't necessarily translate, but it
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: means longer games. And then we had a lot of
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: abs action yesterday a couple times well, like, let's go
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to the replay.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: That it just felt clunky a little bit again.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Brandis wrote the first two innings, I think we had
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: like one hundred and fifty pitches in the first two innings.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: It was just disgusting.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: It was unreal, and there was no way to play
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: two innings.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And it's like, I'm like, what is a throwback Sunday? Yes,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: are we going back to like twenty two thousand and.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Seven, man through thirty two balls and thirty two strikes,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: and the only way he threw thirty two strikes was
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: they were swinging it out.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Again, we're in the abs here. It's not that they
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: were getting squeezed. It just felt like a high school game.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: It was a long can throw a litle league game.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: No one can throw a strike like you just what
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: do you walk in the ballpark? But I do watch
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: because I think the perfect baseball game is between like
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: two twenty and two forty and that's that's exactly everybodys
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: three o'clock and when pitchclock, when it's when the game
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: goes to ten or something. People like, that's too quick.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I barely had time to buy that next beer. I didn't,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you know. I want more enjoyment. No no ours is
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: good enjoyed and get wrong. The Bucks game was a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: thumbsucker yesterday for some reason. It took like two and
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: a half hours.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it just happens that way, and it just does.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: But the time of game to me and I watch it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: But the Brewers have yet to play a game under
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: three hours, and part of it is that they do
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: grind through it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Beats.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: This is that offense that they're gonna have. It's the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: way they have to operate.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And some of these tournament games, you know, switching it
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: back to basketball. You mentioned NBA, but the reviews there
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: were a length of in some of these college tournaments.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: It's in games. It's enough for me to sit there
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: and say, yeah, I forget, especially.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: In the tournament when you already have a long time
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: outs so long.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Gosh, Well, and the horn got stuck.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: How about it kick to the balls for the horn
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: getting stuck in the perdue game? Just unplug it, plug
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: it back in. I think it was well else, try
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: that seems easy enough.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: This did happen in the Piston's Calves game on a
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Friday night a couple of weeks ago, and the guy
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: that was sitting there had never been so frustrated, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, somebody may have unplugged it
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: and plugged it back in in the back, and you
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: could see his face saying, thank god somebody did that,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: because there was no way I was going to figure
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: it out. I did preemptively shout out our friends at
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Admirals because I was working on Saturday night.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I was like, just so you know, nothing can be
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: as bad as what happened in the Illinois Iowa game
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: where the horn just rolling.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Off the heather.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: WELLO Joe looked at me and she goes, it's the
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: first period, dude.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: You probably you.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Couldn't have waited until after the game to be able
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: to throw that one in there. That's not luckily other
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: than us not being able to score.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: So they won last night.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: The four one l gets made up for by the
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: great show that Parmally put on and the win that
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: they had yesterday. But on the on the time of
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: game deal in the reviews, guys, uh, kick to the
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: balls to the NFL officials, who are they're holding firm, Drew,
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: They're holding firm on what they want in this new
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: collective barging agreement and the number one deal that I've
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: never understood, and I think we're kind of in lockstep
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: here that if the NFL is not the ones that
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: don't want to make the officials full time, the NFL
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: would like to have the officials be full time boys
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: where they could train throughout the offseason. Maybe they could
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: be at UFL games and getting more reps. But the
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: officials want to keep their their day jobs of being
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: in associal at principal a lawyer or a chemist, And
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: are the ones that have decided that they're gonna hold
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: firm on this lack of training throughout the year. Well,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: the NFL said, hold on, hold on, we got our
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: owners meeting here. We're just gonna say soft launch that
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: we can call everything from New York. So you guys
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: think that you're really, really important. We are going to
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: find the high school rafts that blew the Green Bay
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Seattle game, bring them right back here, and if anything
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: bad happens, yeah, get Jeane Sterotor with the Logitech control
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: controller the PS two game.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and change it up from New York.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: So the NFL said, uh, you guys think that you've
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: got some power here, rudderless ship, let's go take this.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know that full time would make them that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: much better. I don't think that incrementally, it's no big good.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: They do have the money, and it's like, but it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: not atrocity to me. It's like people say, how can
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: they not at full time? Referees like really like they're
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: gonna like they already send guys to training camps and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: stuff too.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Well, in the inswer.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: The other part of it that that I really think
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: is the tip of the iceberg, is they're holding off
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: on that it has to be seniority and under SAM.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: So this is what unions do. Then they hold off.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: They hold this flag and they want to continue to
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: work for the workers rights.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: And I'm with that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: But like, let's get the best beat player referees into
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the biggest games. No, no, no, it is a seniority
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: deal in the NFL is like, no, no, it's a
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: who's the best guy in a merit based system to
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: get to the biggest games and end the playoffs.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I think the quick thing before we get to the Hunter.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: We're getting to him next.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's this idea that it would be cool for
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: their full time, but we're not gonna it's not gonna
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: be a perfect utopia.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: It never will be. There's always gonna be calls you
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: don't like, mistakes. This is gonna happen. Our training wouldn't
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: make him better.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: No, I think it might, and I think it would help,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: but people are always gonna be unhappy.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Uh, time for our current electric superhero. The day we
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: got to tie Christian Yelich and Braylan Mullen. Yeah, Mullin's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: gonna be a hard one, hard to top them. But
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Christian Yellich for the pinch Homer first.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Of his career, I was gonna say, and Beck Teimer
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: as well, for a snipe to send the team to
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: the Frozen four might be another good one, another good one.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: So we have ample candidate's Current Electric though they're your superheroes.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially because you need to get a safety inspection, guys,
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: because life is going to come at you quick. My
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: life has changed quite a bit in the last five years.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: But keeping and making sure your home is safe in
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: the increase in our electrical bills this summer, it's gonna
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: be a part of it. Put some peace of mind.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: He can't put a price on it, however, Current Electric has.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: They've set the price on peace of mind. Twenty six
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: dollars and ninety nine cents. Twenty six dollars and ninety
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: nine cents. That's the price for the superheroes to come
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: out and do a safety inspection at your home. Give
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: you the peace of mind that your home is safe
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: going into the summer. With the raising use of electric
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: during the summer, on that air conditioning you going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: go to call Current dot Com. Call Current dot com,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: get yourself some peace of mind and get yourself that
• 20:44

  Speaker 2: our Brewers correspondent. He is brought to us by import Minded,

  Speaker 2: your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle care. South twenty seventh Street,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: just north of eight ninety four.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Hunter, Welcome to the program.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: What a weekend, Hunter, I'd be good if here you go, going, Hey.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: Mondays off to a good start.
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: So great weekend though, despite the Mica situation, that was
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: a fantastic weekend at the ballpark. Really couldn't have asked
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: for a better start. Three and zero was obviously what
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: you want, but to put up twenty nine runs thirty
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: five hits offensively, that was a good weekend for the off.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: And for the to be the Brewers again, right, like
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: we've been kind of joking about it throughout the morning,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: but to see them be the Woodpeckers that they were
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: a year ago and just not cave to a game
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: hunter that seemingly was a game that you drop rookie starter,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: comes in, can't find the strike zone, then all of
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: a sudden you leave.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: There were two for fifteen, three of sixteen with runners
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: in scoring position at one point. Generally you lose that
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: game and you move on to the next day. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: the win tonight mentality that Murphez continue to drive home
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: with everybody and seemingly when it matters to the main
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: actor in the clubhouse and the captain of Christian Yelich
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: on a day off where he delivers the biggest swing.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: It sure feels like they have kind of you can't
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: just pick up where you were a year ago, but
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: it does feel like the bones of it have kind
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: of just taken off from where they weren't twenty five.
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: That's the thing like, coming into this season, it was
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: a lot of Okay, how many wins do you think
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: they'll have? Well, they win the division again, right, we're
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: projecting everything and to me, it's like, it's hard to
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: win ninety seven game again. But my biggest question was, like,
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: there was some times last year where it just seemed
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: magical what they were doing.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: Like there were times where it's like, did that really
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: just happen?
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: Did they really win, you know, their fourteenth in a
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: row and Monasterio is the one to be the hero
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: or right, things like that, or they're down eight to
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: one against the Reds and they come back to win.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: Yesterday felt like that again, and he didn't know if
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: it was going to carry over to twenty twenty six,
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: and there's obviously one hundred and fifty nine games left,
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: but for that to happen in the first series of
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: the year, for you'd be down seven to two in
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: the sixth inning and down four to nothing before recording
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: it out in the game and to come back and
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: win and Christian Yelich be the hero.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Love that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: I just it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: It had that feeling of last year again, and Christian
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: Yellich referenced that after the game, telling us, Yeah, this
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: is kind of who we are. You know a lot
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: of these guys were here last year when we did
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: these types of things, and so in the dugout, they
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: were staying positive throughout the game and they were saying,
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: you know, let's chip away, let's get back into this thing,
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: and they never gave up, and then all of a
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: sudden they get the six run eighth inning and win
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: the game. So it that was big question for me
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: coming into this year, and we'll obviously see if it's
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: answered throughout the season. You can't necessarily here on March
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: thirtieth decide that, but for the time being, it seems
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: some of that has definitely carried over into twenty twenty six.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Hunter, as though the sixth run rally and the respite
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: from the struggling with runners in scoring position was nice
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and all. To me, that was a bullpen victory man,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: because they held him down once Brode got out of there.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: For Grant Anderson, who warmed up like he threw about
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: three games in the bullpen before he got into the game,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and then and then for Woodford reserve to come in
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: and do what he did those guys, and then McGill's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: first game to come in and you know, we at
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that's a bullpen victory. To me, that is what sets
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the stage, and those guys so often get overlooked, but
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you got to shine a light on them when you.
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: Can totally six score listenings, they've scored. They've been scored
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: upon once in their fourteen and two thirds so far
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: in this series. So they've only given up one run.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: And Trevor McGill shouted out Grant Anderson. He's like, he
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: was warming up twe before he came in the third time,
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: and he's like, that's not easy to do.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: And so yeah, there was a lot of guys in
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: that clubhouse yesterday that were crediting that bullpen as they should,
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: and it was the great team of them that just
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: that keeps that keeps you.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: Where you want to be, right.
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: Brandon Sprote exited after giving seven up, coving up seven runs,
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: obviously not the optimal Brewers start he wanted to have,
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: But then the bullpen picks you up and it just
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: allows you to keep chipping away and keep chipping away.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: And it's it's interesting because it wasn't necessarily they chipped
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: away a little bit, but obviously the sixth run, they're
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: down seven to three headed in to that eighth inning,
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: So it was all kind of in a bunch yesterday
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: but they kept putting pressure on the White Sox, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: that was gonna be my thing even if they lost. Yesterday,
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: was asking Pat Murphy about the pressure that they continued
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: to put on even though they were down by so
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: many runs, because they had, like you said, Billy, they're
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: running with scoring position.
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: You know, stat was not good. But they were.
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: Continuing to put pressure on them, get guys on base.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: And then it felt like, all right, just if you
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: keep doing this, And then the bases got loaded, and
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: then the stadium turned, and then you thought, then terrang
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: went the other way, and you thought, okay, now now,
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: and then there's only one out, and then that's when
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: I kind of started to think, Okay, they might got it,
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: they might have something here. And then I don't audibly
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: gasp a lot in the club or in the press
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: box when something happened. When Yelich put the put the
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: ball put back to the ball there that was an
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: audible gap just because the sound and you knew it
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: right away and obviously he knew it right Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: Seem similarly to the Montgomery Grand Slam, because that ball
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: sounded different. I don't I still didn't. I don't know
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: exactly where atlanded. That thing was an absolute nuke. The
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: other guy that I thought was incredibly impactful in the game,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: and we talked about it as well, Like the yellow
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: chipad doesn't happen if Ranhifo doesn't continue the inning in
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: reach for a dude that had such tough luck throughout
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: the game, he had to the harder balls right at
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: the second basement earlier in the game, and and it
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: seems like, I mean, you'd be able to understand this,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: and it's difficult for him to be any bit feeling
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: like somebody in hiss after you're three and zero and
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: the team has got a what plus nineteen run differential.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: But I got to assume he's not exactly thrilled with
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: how the first three games go. Right, you would have
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: thought he'd be the starter. David Hamilton comes in. Now,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: everybody likes David Hamilton because he steals a bunch begs
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: and he's almost the afterthought. That takes a lot of
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: mental toughness to be able to sit through that and
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: still be ready when your name.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: Is called totally, and he definitely was. And that I
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: think the biggest thing to that at bat too, is
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: going full count and just battling in that at bat,
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: battling until he got a pitch he liked, uh in
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: a in a three to two count of being able
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: to drive in two runs there that that exactly was it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: And being able to you know, take a you know,
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: get to a three two count with the bases loaded
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: and you're probably gonna get a pitch, you know, to
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: your liking.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: Or if it's outside then you walk in a run.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: So you're in a really good spot there if you're
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: in hefo and just a veteran type of at bat
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: and a battle and like you said, having the mindset,
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: and that's what Pat Murphy does. He keeps these guys
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: aged throughout the game. Obviously you heard the story in
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: the report earlier about Pat Murphy talking about getting Christian
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: Yellis ready, but then also later in that quote he
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: goes on to talk about you know, William Contreras and
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: making sure he was ready to catch in the ninth
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: inning if need be. And then all of a sudden,
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: I mean, if if that game would have somehow went
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: to extras or something, they would have had to McGill
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: was betting fourth in the order then, so they would
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: have had to go back to the NL rules that
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: you know that they used to have because of.
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: The switch and so.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean he prepares everyone for what they have.
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: He believes in his guys, and I think Pat Murphy
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: was a very significant.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Part of that win yesterday.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Totally agree, Hunter Bomguard joining us here, our baseball guy. Hunter.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: What time is your pregame show tonight? Then the Maiden Voyage?
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: Hey, all right, Yes, Maiden Voyage five thirty to six
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: thirty tonight, so an hour before the game.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: We'll get you set with Pat Murphy sound.
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: We'll get you set with sound from players as well,
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: and look back at the weekend and then look ahead
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: to Kyle Harrison's debut tonight.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Very excited for that, Very excited for that show.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: And now the uh you mentioned we're gonna hear see
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison tonight. I'm excited, arman, and I are giving
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: me in the crowd. I'll probably leave early and there'll
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: be another sick comeback with the with the Brandon Sprout experience. Now,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: good question here, and let's just start here. Last week,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: I was, you know, chastising the Potawatamy Sports but for
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: not offering Brandon Sproud Rookie of the year odds brought
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: the goat. I don't think they're going to offer it
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: after yesterday's performance. But what was the what was the
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: sentiment in the clubhouse after the game for the young
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: man because I'll just tell you Section one to eighteen
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: was ready to make him walk to Nashville. I potentially said,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: maybe we am track right, like, maybe we take like
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: a long bus, maybe a greyhound down there.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Be a little bit nice to the young man.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: But uh, I don't assume that he's gonna get sent
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: down after one bad start. But what was the conversation
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: for the young right hander yesterday in the locker room after.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: I will say, first of all, remember what Quinn Priester
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: did against the Cubs in early May of last year,
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: and then remember what Quinn Priester did for four months
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: after that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: Thank you there there.
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: Is And we said this coming into the season, what
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: was the big question mark of this team the starting rotation,
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: not because they didn't have really high upside, but because
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: they're young and inexperienced.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: And when the.
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: First four batters of the game go walk, walk, single
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: grand slam, that's not gonna probably bode well for the
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: rest of the game, especially when you throw thirty nine
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: pitches in the first inning. So he was, you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: he was down, even though the rest of the clubhouse
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: was hopping. You know, in post game yesterday, you could
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: tell that he was taking it on his shoulders a
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: little bit and not obviously happy, which you're not right.
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: You give up seven runs in those three innings and
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: you're not feeling yourself too much after that. However, one
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: of the things that I really noticed, especially well in
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: that first inning, Pat Murphy made a mound visit and
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: didn't make a pitching change, and that's not something he
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: usually does, not something managers do period, right, but Pat
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: Murphy did that early in this game, after the walk walk,
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: single grand slam, and he went out there. So I
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: asked Brandon Sprote after the game, what was the message
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: that Pat.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: Murphy delivered to you after those first four batters.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I saw him coming out and I was, okay,
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: you know, let's just see what he has to say
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: and take it as it is.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: But then the message he gave was was really reassuring,
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: and so hey, man, you know, obviously this isn't how
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: you how you want to start, it said, but you said,
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: let's get back to it, you know, pitch, let's pitch
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: for the name on the front of jersey.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: And that was definitely that's been nice to hear.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: And it's like, okay, you know.
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: But you know, I've got I've got guys.
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: Behind me that you know, I busted the tail, busting
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: their tail every single day. You know, I wanted waiting
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: to make place, and so I'm like, you know what,
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: let's let's try the best we can just you know,
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: you know, get the ball on the ground.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: Let's just let him work. So what's what stuck out
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: to me?
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: There was the the play for the name on the
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: front of your jersey, I mean, for Pat Murphy to
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: and and you could tell, you know, by the zoomed
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: in camera when they were showing that Mountain visit that
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: he was delivering some sort of message and and knowing
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: Pat Murphy, it was some sort of encouragement, uh and
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: just kind of calming him down and as.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: Brandon Sprout said, really reassuring, ensuring.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: I tell you, Pat Murphy has has just an amazing
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: ability to connect with his young players.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: That was pretty impressive.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: A lot of ways it takes the pressure up there.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: You know what. I think a lot of times when
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: people here play for the name on the front and
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: other they they think of you're being SELFI it's not.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: It's like we're taking the pressure of mean, it's not
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: about you failing right now. It's like, let's let's help
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: the team. Let's help the team.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's eat all.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Other things we were saying Hunter, that was the interesting
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: part of the sprote debuts. He's throwing to you ever
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: since Cara was making his big league debut. So it's like,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: there's wild Bill would have been out there, you know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: second batter, we'll walk out and kind of calm him
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: down a little bit. But they're both kind of like,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: there's a guy, fourth big league start, first big league start,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: here's your battery, you know, go to town. And the
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: start was as bad as it could be. So getting
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: three innings out of him was a bit of a win,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: big time, right. But yeah, so having Caro out there
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: was it's not ideal, but it's the soup there, and
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: you knew he was going to get a start on
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: the weekend once he came up, Oh totally.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: And and I think that is possibly a different game
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: if Contrera's is back there, and I think it kind
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: of shows again and nothing against Carol, because I think
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: he can be a really good ballplayer, and.
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: That's his first time too.
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: I mean, you compare that with the experience that Contreras
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: has and the ability that Contreras has and Pat Murphy.
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: He did it again maybe in the I think in
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: the first two games of the season, and then obviously
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: not yesterday because Contraras hardly caught. But otherwise Pat Murphy's
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: always making a point, you guys, just I know, I
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: know it's not on the statuteet, but Contreras, the impact
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: he has in the game, I think you saw it
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: maybe the most in the game. He didn't start on Sunday.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Good point.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Hunter on the way out here South Frielick's got this
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the drag them thing, you know that they're talking about.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Drag them dragonm have a quality. I'm old enough to
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: remember my dear friend Brewer's icon Jeff Cirilla, the model
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: we used to call those sorillos where it's two and
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it's three to two and
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: he's drawing a walk or he's getting a hit on
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: three to two at the end of a nine pitch
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: at bat and he did that a lot. He was like,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: oh two, the bat was just getting started for Rello, right,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: And that's that's the kind of grinding team. The Brewers
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: have twenty nine runs this weekend, thirty five hits, twenty
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: two walks. They're seeing almost twenty three pitches an inning
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: and not granted it's the White Sox in all right,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: but that's where grit is defined. And all three games
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: took more than three hours, which I'm not a fan of,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: but I'm a fan of the offensive approach and the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: grinding is that different? Like that the sixth inning rally
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: or the sixth run rally in the eighth inning, like
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: there was a whole lot of two strike action, big
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: time going on. Guys are getting hits with two strikes. So, Hunter,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: what is your take on that? Will that be the
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: identity of this team moving forward?
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: I think so?
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: I think you know, you saw it some last year
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: and maybe even they take it to another level this year.
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: Kurt Hogan, the Journal Centinel who wrote that story about
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: South Freeli and go check that out.
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: Because it's it's talking about that that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: Dragum theory, so to speak, It how the how the
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: brewers do that on offense. But he asked both Sproute
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: and McGill after the game, like, if you're facing this offense,
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: like what would that experience be like? And Sproute just chuckled,
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: like he was just like, I don't want to do it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: He's like I was just telling Priest that the other day.
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: And then McGill was like, yeah, I don't think I'd
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: enjoy having to pitch seven pitches at least to every batter, right,
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: And so it's just that is even if it doesn't
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: if it's even if it's not a home run, even
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: if it's not a double, even if it's not even
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: a hit or a walk, you're still taking a chunk
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: out of the pitcher, and especially against pitchers, and and
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: we'll see what the obviously Sheen Smith on opening Day
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: was a good example, like he's gonna be a very
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: good pitcher and is a very good pitcher, and and
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: to be able to do that against those types.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: Of pitchers we saw it some last year.
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: You know that they kind of roughed up schemes early
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: last year, like by taking take your walks and being
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: able to work counts, and then also the pressure that
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: they have on the basis when they do get on base.
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: Talked with Gary Mitchell about that Saturday night. He's like,
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: it's like the threat of this steal is sometimes the
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: biggest thing. It's not even that you're going to steal
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: in Pat Murphy talked about this last year too. It's
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: not even just even if you whether he's like, whether
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: you go or don't go doesn't matter, it's it's about
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: you're in their heads. And I think that helps, and
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: then it leads to longer counts because the pitchers are
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: throwing balls because they're not controlled, because they're thinking about
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: the guy on first or second or what have you.
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: So I think all of that combined makes this offense
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: number one fun to watch but also really effective.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Now I'm really down for the White Sox to trade us.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Another first basement, is this Mark Commy the best hitter
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: of all time? Oh my gosh, my god. But also
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: in two years, thirty million, anybody could assigned him to
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: that deal.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: It wasn't like.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Perfectly for them, it seems good.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: And so what we trade Woodford over here, or what
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: guy doesn't all of a sudden isn't going to start
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: and we're gonna move him to the bullpen and then
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: we can.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Ship him off over there and take him. Is that
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: gonna be the deal?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Andelm on the.
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: Situation, I mean, hey, it's happened before, so let's let
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: it happen again. You know, three home runs in three games,
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: so he's on pace for one hundred.
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: And sixty two.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: So definitely get keep an eye on that, right exactly.
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: I think he's the fourth player ever, fourth major league
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: player to hit three home runs in his first three games.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: Chase Delaward just did it for the Guardians this weekend,
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: so like that was that was that was at two
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: heading into this weekend.
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: Now it's at four. That's crazy, but it is.
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: But yeah, he but and then how about Trevor McGill
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: in the ninth inning tying run in Morikami and he
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: strikes him out on four pitching Amen. That a great
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: way to start the scene.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Hunter, great start.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Good luck tonight with that pregame show, Maiden Voyage joined
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: him at five thirty to get the skinny from the
