- 1:57Speaker 2: You know, brother, I gotta say there's I I far
- 2:00Speaker 2: from ever think that you're lying to us, right, I never.
- 2:03Speaker 2: But there's there's certain individuals mentioned Lane Kevin yesterday that
- 2:07Speaker 2: are great at great at uh being able to uh
- 2:11Speaker 2: blow up the truth a little bit, exaggerate the story.
- 2:14Speaker 2: But son of a gun. When I drove Drew's way
- 2:16Speaker 2: to work, this morning, and I drove right by that
- 2:18Speaker 2: YMCA and I see two young men standing there, right
- 2:21Speaker 2: there in that vestibule, just waiting at eight minutes to five,
- 2:26Speaker 2: thinking that you're gonna get that thing to open up
- 2:28Speaker 2: with an extra three hundred and sixty seconds, that you're
- 2:30Speaker 2: gonna get on that elliptical.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Good on you man. Come, let's get that day going,
- 2:35Speaker 3: you know, seize the day. Oh wow, day, I got
- 2:38Speaker 3: in before five. My money is worth out of my membership.
- 2:42Speaker 3: That almost seems like an Arman move.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Yes, I came out there two minutes before they officially open.
- 2:47Speaker 2: I'm getting more. I'm getting more than the average.
- 2:50Speaker 5: It is funny, you know we go there for the
- 2:52Speaker 5: go to that YMC for swim class. I know, Billy,
- 2:54Speaker 5: you've been there too for that and for for I
- 2:57Speaker 5: grew up at that YMS. Yeah, if not for swim class.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Little And I'm only thinking to myself like, is there
- 3:03Speaker 5: a certain like machine here that's a one of one
- 3:05Speaker 5: that that's people are trying to get to first or
- 3:08Speaker 5: is there something like that?
- 3:09Speaker 2: Maybe?
- 3:09Speaker 5: And I try and keep my eye off for it,
- 3:11Speaker 5: but I always think to myself, like, if the schedule permitted,
- 3:14Speaker 5: would it be? Would it be like in your best
- 3:16Speaker 5: interest to get there that early, like to get that
- 3:18Speaker 5: one machine or is there something like that ideal? And
- 3:21Speaker 5: then I think to myself when I'm in the locker
- 3:23Speaker 5: room changing, like there is that hot tub there. There's
- 3:25Speaker 5: always an old guy in the hot tub sitting there.
- 3:27Speaker 5: And I said to myself, you know, if I was
- 3:30Speaker 5: to be like a member of this place and go
- 3:32Speaker 5: every day and it's schedule permitted, it wouldn't be a
- 3:34Speaker 5: bad day to be able to soak in the hot
- 3:36Speaker 5: tub all by yourself, cause like no one's else is
- 3:39Speaker 5: going to be there at five am and just to
- 3:41Speaker 5: take your own plight to take the hot tub all
- 3:43Speaker 5: by yourself and like get a soak and a steam
- 3:47Speaker 5: and hey, hey, let's start the day up. You know,
- 3:49Speaker 5: really feel like you're like spending a lot of money
- 3:51Speaker 5: on a spot when really it's.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Start with the executive workout.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what it isn't it might not
- 3:58Speaker 2: be so bad?
- 3:59Speaker 5: And then I asked myself, you know, if it opened
- 4:01Speaker 5: one hour six, yeah, I know, right exactly.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Could it be? And it could it be me? But
- 4:06Speaker 2: hey man, it won't be me.
- 4:07Speaker 3: But it appreciate everybody who's to early, especially listening to us.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I can't say where those guys were, you know, waiting
- 4:15Speaker 3: for our show to start.
- 4:16Speaker 2: I think like they're waiting for the club to open.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But they may have been. They may have been in
- 4:22Speaker 2: our queue. They were sitting there waiting for us. They
- 4:25Speaker 2: could not have they could not have waited. Oh my good.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Well, like an audio newspaper, you know, pretty much, people
- 4:31Speaker 5: used to get the paper, wait early in the morning,
- 4:33Speaker 5: get themselves their day started their entertainment.
- 4:35Speaker 2: But you have us to listen to.
- 4:36Speaker 3: You're there at the else you're there, And did you
- 4:39Speaker 3: notice you notice also, Billy like the as you're driving,
- 4:43Speaker 3: we drive like wester I drive west off my exit.
- 4:46Speaker 3: He'd get here and it's like, oh, the sun is
- 4:47Speaker 3: starting to get This guy's getting light behind me already.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're gonna laugh. But that's actually why I
- 4:52Speaker 2: took the the alternate route today because I wanted to
- 4:54Speaker 2: get a little bit more exposure to that bad boy.
- 4:57Speaker 2: It was awakening and I'll be honest, Hot take Humpty
- 5:00Speaker 2: always brings a little bit more vigor and gives a
- 5:02Speaker 2: little bit more zest to life that morning. But when
- 5:05Speaker 2: you start seeing that sun when we're driving in and
- 5:07Speaker 2: just a little bit of blue instead of the darkest
- 5:11Speaker 2: pitch black you've ever seen your entire life. Yeah, it's
- 5:14Speaker 2: a different, different feel, a different vibe this morning on
- 5:17Speaker 2: a five game win street.
- 5:18Speaker 3: It's one of the trippy things that I had to
- 5:19Speaker 3: deal with last week. Costa Rica doesn't have time changes
- 5:23Speaker 3: and stuff, so we're kind of mountain time there right
- 5:25Speaker 3: right now, sure now, and it doesn't matter any day
- 5:29Speaker 3: of the year. And Costa Rica, the sun basically comes
- 5:31Speaker 3: up between five thirty and six and goes down between
- 5:33Speaker 3: five thirty and six because you're right by the equator
- 5:36Speaker 3: and it's like every day. So in some ways that
- 5:39Speaker 3: was a benefit because it's dark at six o'clock and
- 5:43Speaker 3: like kind of feels like it's nine.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a bad thing.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Sunsets and if you're day drinking, if you're drinking the afternoon,
- 5:52Speaker 3: it lends itself and then you you know, get a
- 5:54Speaker 3: good clip and you can go to bed at ten
- 5:56Speaker 3: and enjoy most of the day and enjoy it. Yeah,
- 5:59Speaker 3: get get most of the day, Like you don't have
- 6:02Speaker 3: to go a lot of you don't have to go
- 6:03Speaker 3: deep into the night there because you can.
- 6:06Speaker 2: I guess that's it's perfect for the surfer schedule. It is.
- 6:09Speaker 3: It's all us all morning and then drink in the
- 6:11Speaker 3: afternoon and then pass out and do it again.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Nice.
- 6:13Speaker 5: If you're really into Golden Hour, you get the sunset,
- 6:15Speaker 5: then you go to dinner, or you get the sunset
- 6:16Speaker 5: as you're starting dinner.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Some people are really into that. You know you're gonna
- 6:19Speaker 2: get that as well. It'll be a big spot for
- 6:20Speaker 2: the Instagram boyfriend.
- 6:21Speaker 5: Huge for the Instagram boyfriend, huge to get the pictures
- 6:24Speaker 5: in and for for those people that are really into
- 6:25Speaker 5: the Golden Hour thing. So that's a that's a big one.
- 6:28Speaker 5: Eddie and stalls up early with us up boys. What's
- 6:30Speaker 5: up Eddie? Morning man?
- 6:32Speaker 2: You're working hard this morning. I wonder if he's still building.
- 6:34Speaker 5: He used to build, like the ladder stair ladders, I think, so,
- 6:38Speaker 5: I don't know if you're still doing it, but he's.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Working with getting after it after all.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Right, speaking of getting after here's Billy Schmid after being
- 6:45Speaker 3: at Bark at the Park Night at the Ballpark as
- 6:48Speaker 3: the Brewers open a series with the victory over they
- 6:50Speaker 3: always hate it but never feared padres Uh again one
- 6:54Speaker 3: beginning death by paper cut, Small Market rally, whatever you
- 6:57Speaker 3: want to call it.
- 6:58Speaker 2: They they got it done. And two big swings from
- 7:01Speaker 2: the nine hole hitter who doubled his extra base hit
- 7:04Speaker 2: output for the entire season in being able to see
- 7:09Speaker 2: the two swings that he put on the baseball the
- 7:11Speaker 2: sackfly in that five run inning drew. I mean, I
- 7:15Speaker 2: guess Jeff Leving also did thought that ball was hit
- 7:18Speaker 2: to the moon after he banks one off of the
- 7:21Speaker 2: restaurant and the left. But you get you got all
- 7:24Speaker 2: parts of it last night. And who didn't think that
- 7:27Speaker 2: there would be one individual that was gonna be barking
- 7:30Speaker 2: last night and Christianellich just could not miss bark at
- 7:33Speaker 2: the park. I thought that was even in the midst
- 7:35Speaker 2: of the double You thank you both. Also, great work
- 7:38Speaker 2: on the you know, the doorbells ringing last night and
- 7:41Speaker 2: just as many different things to be able to wake
- 7:44Speaker 2: up the pooches throughout the night. That was awesome, so funny.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But you have a team that right now maybe capitalizing
- 7:53Speaker 2: on the first bit of mortality from the north Siders.
- 7:57Speaker 2: You grab yourself a five game winning streak. All they
- 7:59Speaker 2: lose three straight after their ten in a row, and
- 8:03Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're almost sitting here right back
- 8:05Speaker 2: at even and how much different Drew does that entire
- 8:08Speaker 2: lineup look when it gets all the parts and infusions
- 8:12Speaker 2: back into it of Yelich, Vaughn and Churio, even at
- 8:16Speaker 2: the top, even if those guys weren't the ones doing
- 8:18Speaker 2: most of the work last night, bottom of the order
- 8:20Speaker 2: and taking advantage and stressing out when a bunt and
- 8:24Speaker 2: making the picture feel his position. Man, it was an
- 8:28Speaker 2: awesome All Brewers night last night because that totally was it.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Even though a six to two lead shouldn't feel like it.
- 8:35Speaker 2: It felt like it was like sixteen to two there
- 8:36Speaker 2: for a while until it got a little Harry and
- 8:38Speaker 2: dicey at the back end of the game. It did
- 8:40Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Yeah, nice win for the Brewers, though, to open this
- 8:43Speaker 3: series is this.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Five in a row?
- 8:45Speaker 3: Five, five in a row, baby, five in a row
- 8:48Speaker 3: beginning you yeah, yeah, in three l's yeah, that's pretty good.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Dodgers have lost four in a row, all by four
- 8:55Speaker 2: runs or more, I think. Yeah. In Otani finally got
- 8:58Speaker 2: went yard last night after Dave Roberts said that they
- 9:01Speaker 2: had to sit him down because he was just trying
- 9:02Speaker 2: to swing out of it, searching it you know, Joey
- 9:05Speaker 2: Ortani being able to go in there and cap two guys.
- 9:07Speaker 2: How about the individual that had that home run parlay
- 9:10Speaker 2: at the Potawatamy Sports Book of Joe and Joey Ortiz. Yeah,
- 9:13Speaker 2: sick genius is what I'm what I'd call that individual. Well,
- 9:16Speaker 2: that's funny, I was. You know, it's a little early yet.
- 9:18Speaker 5: They don't have the home run props up for the Brewers,
- 9:21Speaker 5: but I'm waiting to see how Justin Arnette and the
- 9:23Speaker 5: crew will respond downtown.
- 9:25Speaker 2: There's gotta be a difference his power search.
- 9:27Speaker 5: I'm sure he's gonna be absolutely you know, the number
- 9:30Speaker 5: is gonna go down to hit another homer because Joey Ortiz,
- 9:33Speaker 5: you know what they say, hits him in bunches. Actually no,
- 9:35Speaker 5: I never said that, but hey, I mean maybe if
- 9:37Speaker 5: he's finally so we bet.
- 9:38Speaker 2: His mom did though, I bet his mom did. Last
- 9:40Speaker 2: and and listen, if Eric cosses any indication, uh, you
- 9:44Speaker 2: talk about that Giants and Dodgers game, former Brewer hits
- 9:47Speaker 2: a pair last night? How about that? I also thought, Drew,
- 9:50Speaker 2: and we've seen it throughout. We talked about it with
- 9:52Speaker 2: Hunter on Monday, and we'll talk about it with Rock
- 9:55Speaker 2: later on. Here today is the patience that they felt
- 10:00Speaker 2: like they had to show, wanted to show, and ultimately
- 10:03Speaker 2: now I think are getting rewarded with with Brandon Sproute.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I think there were a lot of people after that
- 10:08Speaker 2: first start against the White Sox where my man couldn't
- 10:11Speaker 2: find the strike zone in the first inning, We're ready
- 10:14Speaker 2: to ship him off to Nashville. And they're like, he
- 10:16Speaker 2: won the spot for a reason, and now he gets
- 10:19Speaker 2: his first win yesterday. Look good. He's as all young
- 10:23Speaker 2: pitchers do. Got to avoid that one blip on the radar.
- 10:26Speaker 2: It feels like it'll slide down the mountain. The avalanche
- 10:29Speaker 2: will hit him a little bit, but not different from
- 10:33Speaker 2: most young pictures. He was really good last night.
- 10:35Speaker 3: He's pretty efficient, you know, big time to get into
- 10:38Speaker 3: the sixth and be at eighty five, that's you know,
- 10:41Speaker 3: and for you want to be and.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Man find that the ground ball when needed. It always
- 10:44Speaker 2: helps a pitcher's best friend, as they've always said. But
- 10:47Speaker 2: he was able to spin a couple of six four
- 10:49Speaker 2: threes when they desperately needed it, and just appears to
- 10:54Speaker 2: be gaining more and more confidence. And somebody looks like
- 10:58Speaker 2: he may have gained a new role and appears Chad
- 11:00Speaker 2: Patrick's a bullpen guy.
- 11:01Speaker 5: Now that's interesting too. But it is a good sign
- 11:04Speaker 5: for Sproute. You know, he's on a quest again, his
- 11:07Speaker 5: era sub five, it's still there, it's still going, but
- 11:10Speaker 5: it looks like he's now settled into a better pace.
- 11:13Speaker 5: A good reminder that, you know, we always need to
- 11:15Speaker 5: give ourselves a little time, you know, when we started
- 11:17Speaker 5: in April, and we overreact a little bit to what
- 11:19Speaker 5: these guys do. Give them the time we get settled
- 11:21Speaker 5: in the Chad Patrick things interesting, Billy, But that's not
- 11:23Speaker 5: a bad option to have if that's your bullpen guy.
- 11:26Speaker 5: I mean, Chad's been reliable many times not you know,
- 11:28Speaker 5: playoffs last year notwithstanding was huge, So not a bad
- 11:32Speaker 5: option to have.
- 11:32Speaker 2: But that is interesting and a Hunter kind.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Of called that him being the odd man out maybe
- 11:36Speaker 5: if that was to be the case, but more options
- 11:39Speaker 5: is never bad to have, and and Sprote starting to
- 11:42Speaker 5: pitch better is a really good sign for the Brewers.
- 11:44Speaker 3: So what are we thinking about McGill's outing little wobbly,
- 11:49Speaker 3: but he struck out three guys.
- 11:50Speaker 2: It's like, how do you.
- 11:52Speaker 5: A lot of that was Mitchell right, A lot of
- 11:53Speaker 5: that was Mitchell not misplayed?
- 11:55Speaker 2: So I didn't get a great look at it. As
- 11:57Speaker 2: we were running the home plate to first base into
- 12:00Speaker 2: that little corner, I caught the clip of Garrett Mitchell
- 12:03Speaker 2: getting himself up off the ground. But was it badly
- 12:06Speaker 2: misplayed on the on the fly ball.
- 12:08Speaker 5: I don't think it was terribly misplayed, but he did
- 12:09Speaker 5: take one step in initially that first step really cost him.
- 12:12Speaker 2: On the way back.
- 12:13Speaker 5: I thought he still could have got it, but kind
- 12:15Speaker 5: of mistimed his leap.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Sure if he did it better, but still caught leather.
- 12:20Speaker 3: That's one of those that wasn't an error per se,
- 12:22Speaker 3: but it's in a play, a play you expect him
- 12:24Speaker 3: to make because he's elite, yep. One that he will
- 12:26Speaker 3: be more upset about that, absolutely absolutely. And so yeah,
- 12:30Speaker 3: so that was the only real blip, uh kind of
- 12:33Speaker 3: late and once they got past, you know the bulk.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And and Abner your rebay fastest pitch
- 12:39Speaker 2: of his career. So Jacob Mizarowski rubbing off on everybody
- 12:42Speaker 2: in that room. But he's got those two at the
- 12:45Speaker 2: back end. However, Uh, the order that process is gonna
- 12:49Speaker 2: work as long as you got those two there and
- 12:51Speaker 2: I wonder if the Patrick one was more out of
- 12:54Speaker 2: necessity in your bullpen than anything. Yeah, right, Like I
- 12:59Speaker 2: mean when Zurpa down and you start looking at more
- 13:02Speaker 2: and more leverage arms. I know Zustrizsny is gonna go
- 13:04Speaker 2: out on a rehab assignment coming up uh soon. I
- 13:07Speaker 2: don't know that anybody thinks big rob Z is that
- 13:09Speaker 2: leverage arm and Knigs still on the way back hopefully,
- 13:11Speaker 2: but like makes sense to try to add somebody else
- 13:14Speaker 2: back there that you think then know that you can trust. Definitely.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Yeah, he's robb Zy, just like one of those innings guys,
- 13:20Speaker 3: and he's you know, eat up some eat up some
- 13:22Speaker 3: ball there a good job of just keeping them in
- 13:26Speaker 3: the game, like holding the score where it is like,
- 13:27Speaker 3: hey we're down for throwing rob Z in there, we're
- 13:29Speaker 3: still down for suddenly hey we're up one.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Now we got a chance. Yeah, Yeah, that's kind of
- 13:34Speaker 2: his that's his role. And those two guys that they
- 13:37Speaker 2: draft or that they pick up in trades this year
- 13:39Speaker 2: of sproute and then to drowing. Uh that's uh, that's
- 13:42Speaker 2: got to be maybe one of Matt Arnold's favorite games. Right?
- 13:45Speaker 2: Does that does that work? Is it? Is it? Similar
- 13:47Speaker 2: like when you're second and third round draft pick. All
- 13:49Speaker 2: of a sudden, one has a sack and one scores
- 13:51Speaker 2: a touchdown and Goody's sitting in the owner's suit saying, yeah,
- 13:55Speaker 2: I got you guys, Yeah, don't worry.
- 13:56Speaker 5: Are you feeling himself a little bit after last night?
- 13:59Speaker 5: And I think he's had a lot of nights like that.
- 14:00Speaker 5: I think every time Harrison pitches, probably still feeling that too,
- 14:03Speaker 5: but uh, he's just worked Wonders again. Drolling was huge
- 14:06Speaker 5: last night, coming in that spot, getting out of the jam,
- 14:08Speaker 5: kind of getting the Brewers through all that.
- 14:10Speaker 2: So that was another Yeah, another Padres lineups legit though, dude,
- 14:15Speaker 2: it was not amazing. Good Man really was no relenting
- 14:18Speaker 2: as you see the next guy who had some point
- 14:21Speaker 2: in his career heading eight fifty ops and probably played
- 14:24Speaker 2: in an All Star game just rolling through. Just getting
- 14:26Speaker 2: through that lineup is not easy.
- 14:27Speaker 3: They had some of their big guys punching out, and
- 14:29Speaker 3: the key to me is just keeping Jackson Merrill down.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Yeah, big time. It's like he was over.
- 14:34Speaker 3: So nice win by the brew crew and then they
- 14:37Speaker 3: got the Miz tonight for a chance to win the series.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Win the series in the series like that's just clip
- 14:43Speaker 3: them off. And you just swept a really good team
- 14:45Speaker 3: with the Yankees, And if you win a series against Padres,
- 14:47Speaker 3: you're rolling pretty good going into the Twins and the Cubs.
- 14:50Speaker 3: In fact, you know who else is rolling good? Aaron Fonelac,
- 14:53Speaker 3: He texted us at eight seven seven seven. I three morning, guys,
- 14:57Speaker 3: last day of the work week for me heading the
- 14:58Speaker 3: Minnesota tomorrow for the Brewers, Twins. Let's have a weekend.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Let's go, Aaron, come on now to support. Oh, you're
- 15:03Speaker 3: going to enjoy the Twin Cities, especially if the Wild
- 15:07Speaker 3: and the Wolves are still, you know, viable. I was
- 15:11Speaker 3: gonna say they should they should be playing.
- 15:13Speaker 2: They'll be playing Friday night to try to keep their
- 15:16Speaker 2: season alive. And I got maybe a feeling they do.
- 15:19Speaker 2: They lost that game five, right, yeah, pretty handily last night,
- 15:23Speaker 2: Pretty handily last night. It wasn't much of a contest.
- 15:26Speaker 2: I think the Spurs ended up winning every quarter of
- 15:29Speaker 2: the game and did so and kind of dominate in fashion.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Wenby made a statement not with his elbow yesterday look
- 15:35Speaker 2: like they looked like they He did a lot more
- 15:38Speaker 2: other than a elbow to nods red. But they got
- 15:41Speaker 2: a they got the scene going right now and Friday
- 15:44Speaker 2: night setting up for a very nice night of basketball
- 15:46Speaker 2: because we get Pistons Calves tonight and then potentially two
- 15:50Speaker 2: game sixes that could be closeout games or extending us
- 15:53Speaker 2: to a game seven Sunday, which is always the way
- 15:56Speaker 2: you like to start off your or cap off your week.
- 15:58Speaker 5: And the Wild have to win tonight to keep their
- 16:01Speaker 5: season alive because they're down three to one. This one's
- 16:03Speaker 5: gonna be in U Ball Arena in Denver, but we'll
- 16:06Speaker 5: see if they can do it.
- 16:06Speaker 2: They're good luck with that one. Yeah, that's gonna be
- 16:08Speaker 2: very very cool. I'll just I'd say that good luck
- 16:10Speaker 2: with that one. They're a big dog. But they crushed
- 16:14Speaker 2: them to lose the game and go down three one
- 16:16Speaker 2: rush they went up one nothing I think in the game,
- 16:18Speaker 2: and then the Avalanche just did what they did and
- 16:21Speaker 2: that that started an Avalanche. That team is unreal. Also,
- 16:25Speaker 2: would that be one where all of a sudden you
- 16:27Speaker 2: look out and say, maybe on unfair competitive advantage? I
- 16:30Speaker 2: already marvel at the ability to skate on and off.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Uh do that in altitude?
- 16:34Speaker 5: Oh?
- 16:34Speaker 2: Man, I mean that's a there's not a whole lot
- 16:37Speaker 2: of home home ice advantages. I don't necessarily think, but
- 16:39Speaker 2: I gotta think that one would be one. We gotta think, right,
- 16:41Speaker 2: It's like it's harder just to skate. You just takes more,
- 16:45Speaker 2: you know, energy, It's like if you had to try
- 16:46Speaker 2: to swim out there. But yeah, totally agree. That's why
- 16:48Speaker 2: a lot of you know, we have a.
- 16:50Speaker 5: Great tradition of speed skating training, Uslympic training to pettit,
- 16:53Speaker 5: but a lot of a lot of training goes on
- 16:55Speaker 5: in Colorado Springs as well because of the way the
- 16:57Speaker 5: ice clades, because of the altitude, because of the way
- 16:59Speaker 5: you can train out there. So I agree. However, you know,
- 17:02Speaker 5: it's hockey. Any weird things can happen. We saw a
- 17:04Speaker 5: weird goal last night with the Sabers, so maybe the
- 17:06Speaker 5: Wild can can push the thing to to six games.
- 17:09Speaker 5: But they are a big dog, there's no question about it.
- 17:11Speaker 5: So Avalanche of poison net reguard and they've been great
- 17:14Speaker 5: all year, so it would be really tough for them.
- 17:17Speaker 5: But if it does happen, it'd be quite a weekend
- 17:19Speaker 5: in Twin Cities with those with all those sports going on.
- 17:23Speaker 3: So Miz on the Mount tonight was trying to win
- 17:26Speaker 3: a series Manny Machado still booed dogs barking doorbell sounds.
- 17:31Speaker 3: One of the doorbell sounds came through on TV and
- 17:34Speaker 3: my dog at home Jet started.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Fired out, and I'm like, we don't even have a
- 17:40Speaker 2: doorbell anymore. I was wondering the same thing.
- 17:43Speaker 3: They made us take our ring doorbell down. It's kind
- 17:45Speaker 3: of like an h O A policy, like you can't
- 17:47Speaker 3: have cameras anymore. I don't really need a doorbell and
- 17:51Speaker 3: a condo building and stuff, but.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Yeah, if you got a buzz and we'll have to
- 17:55Speaker 2: bus people in. I yeah, it's kind of like, don't
- 17:57Speaker 2: really need the doorbell. But the dogs were parking, I'll
- 18:01Speaker 2: tell you this though, there were there were a lot
- 18:02Speaker 2: of happy people leave in an American family field, none more
- 18:05Speaker 2: than the poochas when they found real grass. Oh yeah,
- 18:07Speaker 2: I mean when when they got out of there, they
- 18:10Speaker 2: were having themselves a wonderful time. If you're going tonight,
- 18:14Speaker 2: maybe if you're parking in the outfield, should right field?
- 18:18Speaker 2: Right field? Mind? That might be a little stayed out
- 18:21Speaker 2: the watch where you stopped.
- 18:25Speaker 5: Hey, do you think Joey's gonna be asking the brewers
- 18:27Speaker 5: for more dog nights?
- 18:29Speaker 2: Hey? More barking, more parking the park. Come on, look
- 18:31Speaker 2: how I performing the dogs were here?

- 18:34Speaker 3: gonna hear Hunter Bombguard's recap brought to us by import
- 18:37Speaker 3: Minded momentarily Actually and uh his whole be like Bill thing,
- 18:42Speaker 3: you know, it's like it's be like Bill is now
- 18:44Speaker 3: the mantra for Joey Oh, could be a good one
- 18:47Speaker 3: for all Brewers to try to adopt a little bit
- 18:49Speaker 3: more could be we'll spin through that more. We got
- 18:51Speaker 3: more Yannis talk sadly, it's gonna it's not going away
- 18:55Speaker 3: anytime soon.
- 18:56Speaker 2: It's ready to roll kind of stuff.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Got a theory of the case with k I like that, Yes, yes, yes,
- 19:03Speaker 3: when we will entertain your hot takes. Hunter bomb Guard's
- 19:06Speaker 3: recap of the Brewers victory last night six' four over
- 19:08Speaker 3: The padres is. Next and our Buddy Bill schroeder is

- 19:17Speaker 2: Do you're in the, Huddle Fox Sports, Radio. Wisconsin he
- 19:27Speaker 2: goes deep to get The brewers who want.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Nothing Lead.
- 19:33Speaker 3: BREWERS tv last night six' Four victoried american Family Feel
- 19:37Speaker 3: joey ortiz with that Somewhat SHOCKING did i just see that?
- 19:42Speaker 2: Home run? Mid story so, you know nobody was who
- 19:46Speaker 2: knew he had.
- 19:46Speaker 3: An inmate but when we Talked to rock at, seven
- 19:49Speaker 3: thirty we got to remember to ask him About The
- 19:51Speaker 3: matt arnold effect because as much as We love rock's,
- 19:54Speaker 3: pithy analysis and then when he's, not there You Get
- 19:56Speaker 3: vinie Routino Or, timmy dillard but every time They bring
- 19:59Speaker 3: matt ur of, the booth they have like a, big
- 20:01Speaker 3: inning so it might as well just keep him.
- 20:02Speaker 2: IN there i was, gonna, say like it is that
- 20:04Speaker 2: a sacrificial Moment For? Matt arnold, whor's like, ALL right
- 20:08Speaker 2: i do have to go talk to these guys for fifteen,
- 20:09Speaker 2: Twenty minutes and as MUCH as i don't want to necessarily,
- 20:12Speaker 2: say anything as long as it gets us, THREE runs
- 20:14Speaker 2: I think i'll think you digs it because those. Guys
- 20:17Speaker 2: Grind and I've asked matt about That because i'm, always,
- 20:19Speaker 2: interested like what's the what's? It like you guys are breaking,
- 20:22Speaker 2: on guys it's you know the obviously they're more invested than,
- 20:26Speaker 2: most fans but they're also.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Baseball lifers and they get the ebbs. And FLOWS and
- 20:30Speaker 3: i remember, asking him like how much swearing? Goes on
- 20:33Speaker 3: who's who's like the who's like the, most nervous? Who
- 20:35Speaker 3: paces who? Gets up, and like you know who who
- 20:38Speaker 3: stressed out for that? Twenty minutes who is? Stress eating,
- 20:42Speaker 3: you know like you keep the, snacks away you get a.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Stress eat it's it's a. Fun dynamic but he probably
- 20:47Speaker 3: likes the, little break, you know it. Makes Sense and
- 20:50Speaker 3: i'll tell, You this you're for an inning of not
- 20:51Speaker 3: obsessing about.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Every, pitch well and that's. The Thing and i'll tell,
- 20:54Speaker 2: you this he's very good, at, It right like he's
- 20:56Speaker 2: good at being able to give you a little something
- 20:58Speaker 2: while never giving you too much and still understanding that
- 21:03Speaker 2: everyone's got a job. To do nobody's, asking ridiculous hard,
- 21:06Speaker 2: hitting questions but everybody wants to know a little bit
- 21:09Speaker 2: about the decision. Making PROCESS and i, also, THINK uh,
- 21:12Speaker 2: i mean when you learn from maybe The Best, doug
- 21:14Speaker 2: melvin he could have sat down there and done a
- 21:17Speaker 2: full three game series with with the, Broadcast team and
- 21:20Speaker 2: it does Feel Like matt arnold's more like That Than.
- 21:22Speaker 3: David Stearns And doug melvin always has something interesting, to
- 21:25Speaker 3: say always has some kind of, perspective, like.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Yes that would have thought. Of, That, amazing.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Yeah amazing, you know it's funny because thinking, about that
- 21:32Speaker 3: all the general managers of the teams that we, Follow
- 21:35Speaker 3: here John horras And And matt arnold kind of, similar cats,
- 21:39Speaker 3: very similar like similar. Psychological profiles they're not they are not.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Spotlight seekers they are they just want to do. Their
- 21:48Speaker 3: work they Just want they're, all. Grinders yep they're all
- 21:50Speaker 3: like guys who came up the, right way like they dis,
- 21:53Speaker 3: you know they weren't born. To it they all kind of,
- 21:56Speaker 3: you Know had they're all they're all in their. Own
- 21:58Speaker 3: way three. Guys, inders, yeah. Yeah right they're from scouting
- 22:01Speaker 3: background and just working their way up from, getting coffee,
- 22:05Speaker 3: you know and draft night to running. The draft and
- 22:07Speaker 3: EVERY time I Hear, matt arnold you just, feel like,
- 22:09Speaker 3: all Right the brewers are in.
- 22:10Speaker 5: Good.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Hands right it's like, this dude he, gets it he
- 22:12Speaker 3: knows how to. Treat people he, works hard makes everybody else.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Work hard but it's not LIKE a I don't i guess.
- 22:18Speaker 3: The feeling it's not an OVERBEARING and i don't think
- 22:20Speaker 3: everybody works for him feels like they're looking over their
- 22:22Speaker 3: shoulder to see if the, boss thinks and you know
- 22:24Speaker 3: it's just he doesn't have that kind.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Of ego just do.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Your job, let's go let's let's make the best decisions,
- 22:28Speaker 3: We can let's get the best players, we can and
- 22:30Speaker 3: the results speak for themselves.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Big Time, and drew no one will ever know OTHER than,
- 22:35Speaker 2: i mean frankly him And Probably david searns how much
- 22:38Speaker 2: influence he had while he was the, assistant right, if he,
- 22:41Speaker 2: if any or if there was a lot more than
- 22:44Speaker 2: would would have met. The eye and you. Mentioned it
- 22:47Speaker 2: they're all they all come from the. Intern start now
- 22:50Speaker 2: most guys do into. That position you got to start
- 22:53Speaker 2: at the. Absolute bottom but when you roll through different
- 22:56Speaker 2: organizations at all different levels of, the, sport right see
- 23:00Speaker 2: it At the, dodgers level sees it At the, rays
- 23:02Speaker 2: level pit stops In what Texas, AND cincinnati i think
- 23:05Speaker 2: in there as Well, for arnold so he's been able
- 23:08Speaker 2: to see it and understands what the good organization, looks
- 23:12Speaker 2: like also what the bad organization, looks LIKE which i
- 23:15Speaker 2: think what you just hit on is maybe the more.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Important one how do difficult work? Environments start and a
- 23:22Speaker 2: lot of times it's exactly that guys looking over, their
- 23:24Speaker 2: shoulder worried about what the boss is going to do
- 23:26Speaker 2: when he, walks in and instead happier people work a little,
- 23:30Speaker 2: bit better and ones that feel rather connected to it
- 23:33Speaker 2: and everybody in, that organization whether That's for murph deciding
- 23:37Speaker 2: and talking about it being the people he feels like
- 23:39Speaker 2: and sounds like he's made in mention of it a couple,
- 23:41Speaker 2: of times feels like He Broke matt arnold a, little
- 23:43Speaker 2: bit like a young mustang where he had to break
- 23:45Speaker 2: him in a. Little bit he's about, people, too now,
- 23:47Speaker 2: all right he was about those numbers every once in,
- 23:50Speaker 2: A While But matt arnold's about. People too and it
- 23:54Speaker 2: can be different for, all organizations and you've got to
- 23:57Speaker 2: put your own stamp. On IT but i think the
- 23:59Speaker 2: best ones are the ones that are run by guys
- 24:01Speaker 2: that genuinely do allow you to have a vested interest
- 24:05Speaker 2: in everybody in there while keeping a little separation of church.
- 24:08Speaker 5: And, state now and, it's great and it's great to
- 24:10Speaker 5: be able to see the decisions, you make the fruits
- 24:13Speaker 5: of your labor work out and come, to fruition And
- 24:15Speaker 5: the brewers. Are able it'll do that the front office
- 24:17Speaker 5: has done that time and. Time again, you know he's
- 24:19Speaker 5: BUILT up, i think pretty good equity with the trades
- 24:22Speaker 5: he's already made and the moves he's made and the
- 24:24Speaker 5: acquisitions and his eye. For talent but it just seems
- 24:27Speaker 5: like every time and you brought up a, Sprout, earlier
- 24:29Speaker 5: billy and you brought up the moves already, this year
- 24:32Speaker 5: it Seems, like harrison, you know it just again and
- 24:35Speaker 5: again he just. Keeps hitting and that's just such impressive
- 24:38Speaker 5: work and KIND of i don't want to say he's,
- 24:41Speaker 5: revolutionized it but some of his, you know pre arbor
- 24:44Speaker 5: extensions and his kind of philosophy on trying to build
- 24:47Speaker 5: with the Limitations in milwaukee have been sort. Of, revolutionary
- 24:50Speaker 5: again not the first guy to come up with an idea,
- 24:52Speaker 5: like that but the Way the brewers have.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Utilized, it yeah he's done a.
- 24:56Speaker 5: Great job and, You're, RIGHT billy i think you give
- 24:59Speaker 5: he gives you that calming sense. About him so it
- 25:02Speaker 5: was nice to, see HIM and i would imagine on,
- 25:04Speaker 5: the broadcast, you know he likes to talk about his
- 25:07Speaker 5: team and he looks forward to talk. ABOUT it, i
- 25:08Speaker 5: mean this is his main, you know this is his
- 25:11Speaker 5: main focus right now in, his work in his life
- 25:14Speaker 5: is this roster of. This TEAM and i would imagine
- 25:16Speaker 5: he enjoys a chance to talk about it with somebody
- 25:18Speaker 5: and and to have a conversation about it's probably enjoyable.
- 25:21Speaker 2: FOR him i. Don't, disagree yeah. IT'S yeah i think
- 25:25Speaker 2: it would definitely.
- 25:26Speaker 5: Be.
- 25:26Speaker 3: FUN yeah i mean this is it's what the juice that.
- 25:29Speaker 3: They get it's what's? Next level what?
- 25:32Speaker 5: Is?
- 25:32Speaker 2: There uh what what are they working on? Right now
- 25:34Speaker 2: would it be? Draft stuff is it like? Always? Draft
- 25:38Speaker 2: definitely but because you have so many, DAMN players i
- 25:41Speaker 2: don't know how they actually go through it, Crazy right
- 25:44Speaker 2: like you just studying in FOR the nfl draft AND
- 25:47Speaker 2: now nba draft because in the, tenth pick we're figuring
- 25:50Speaker 2: out how we're gonna start winning. Some games and WATCHING
- 25:53Speaker 2: this nba draft combine and that three on three is.
- 25:55Speaker 2: SUPER exciting, i, mean wow. Really fun but like when
- 26:01Speaker 2: when you have the volume, OF players i don't know
- 26:03Speaker 2: how it's not, always draft but they get a little
- 26:06Speaker 2: bit of an eye or is this where? It, is
- 26:08Speaker 2: uh let's sit back here and figure Out When joey
- 26:10Speaker 2: orti is gonna start getting some extra base hits OR
- 26:12Speaker 2: if i got to start making.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Some, CALLS yeah i mean. It's ongoing you're always looking
- 26:16Speaker 3: at a. Little, bit yeah you let it breathe a,
- 26:19Speaker 3: little bit and. UH yeah i think one of the
- 26:22Speaker 3: things With, the brewers it's like there's the amateur scouting in.
- 26:25Speaker 3: The draft they've, slimmed back they've cut back on the number.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Of picks But the brewers do such a good job
- 26:30Speaker 3: with the pro scouting going and.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Getting guys like, You know Drown.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Or harrison dude's finding guys and being able to peel
- 26:38Speaker 3: them away from teams and then have them blossom here huge.
- 26:41Speaker 2: And you almost wonder if he feels like this is
- 26:43Speaker 2: where he can really strike, on, Somebody right like like
- 26:46Speaker 2: early season With priest or a, year Ago uh adamis
- 26:49Speaker 2: a number of, years ago was what may trade when
- 26:52Speaker 2: when ultimately they.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Grabbed him for as strong As the brewis system is
- 26:56Speaker 3: like their key guys are you, Know, imports YES but.
- 27:00Speaker 3: I do and but there's more guys coming and there's a.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Good flow but they've done such a good job without
- 27:06Speaker 3: being able to expend, you know thirty million a year
- 27:09Speaker 3: on a guy, you know shopping in the. Off season
- 27:11Speaker 3: they've built a pretty, straight team.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Strangely enough and maybe this is a good hot take
- 27:16Speaker 2: humpty part of. The conversation even though they've had the
- 27:20Speaker 2: on field success at the major, LEAGUE level i, don't
- 27:23Speaker 2: know it's felt like they've had the combination of young
- 27:26Speaker 2: hitting and young pitching in the system like they have.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Right now right like when it was the braun, fielder
- 27:32Speaker 2: weeks it was all watch out for this. Young lineup
- 27:35Speaker 2: then in, the eighteens it was watch out for this
- 27:38Speaker 2: sweet rotation that we're grooming here to be Pitching, Of Burns,
- 27:42Speaker 2: woodruff peralta and then it was all pitching and figuring
- 27:45Speaker 2: out how on earth you're going to scrap enough runs
- 27:47Speaker 2: and maybe more of the offense feels like it's still
- 27:49Speaker 2: in the minor, league level but it starts Out with
- 27:52Speaker 2: cherio and then rolls. From there it feels like this
- 27:55Speaker 2: is one of the better youngest parts of the team
- 27:58Speaker 2: that they've had in a number. Of, YEAR yeah, I
- 28:00Speaker 2: agree and it is now just kind of waiting for
- 28:02Speaker 2: it all to. Ultimately blossom and when you spriice splice
- 28:07Speaker 2: in Guys like sprote and Uh, And harrison harrison even.
- 28:11Speaker 2: MORE impressive, i mean, My, goodness yeah just let the
- 28:15Speaker 2: Number Of paul Hembow stats greene stat guy IN The
- 28:19Speaker 2: Espn stats extraordinary hangs out with Your boy buster only
- 28:21Speaker 2: on a baseball PODCAST that i just got. Tuned onto. Awesome,
- 28:24Speaker 2: listen uh he is all in on what they're Doing
- 28:27Speaker 2: With kyle harrison of just slightening slightly changing his arm
- 28:30Speaker 2: slot and really just it's let his fastball ride to
- 28:34Speaker 2: a totally.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Different level, It's, been yeah. It's been they just got
- 28:38Speaker 3: something in the.
- 28:38Speaker 5: Water here he's kind of the found money that you
- 28:41Speaker 5: Had with quinn, last Year although quinn obviously was more
- 28:44Speaker 5: of a project to most People than harrison. Has been
- 28:46Speaker 5: but he's sort of like that, Found, Money, like oh
- 28:49Speaker 5: all of, a sudden we've got this stalwart in the
- 28:51Speaker 5: rotation that is just performing great that maybe nobody expected
- 28:54Speaker 5: to have, that production but he's.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Doing it.
- 28:56Speaker 5: It's Great, but billy that's a good observation about the
- 28:59Speaker 5: hit in the PITCHING because i, you know you remember

- 33:29Speaker 2: william contreras and be that kind, of a.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Dude You Know, AND joey ortiz i know he takes
- 33:34Speaker 3: his share of slings and arrows from The populace and i'm.
- 33:37Speaker 2: One of, the number one especially when.
- 33:39Speaker 3: He rolls up with, the bases loaded as he has a.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Pension for doing, but the dude you, got to say
- 33:44Speaker 3: like he doesn't take his problems.
- 33:46Speaker 2: To the field his glove. Has been great he seems like.
- 33:49Speaker 3: A positive dude you can tell how everybody was happy
- 33:51Speaker 3: for him that, he kind, of you know contributed and
- 33:53Speaker 3: broke through part of me as a scrub on, My
- 33:58Speaker 3: College team like i'm appreciate the. Grinder you know so
- 34:03Speaker 3: part of me is like tip The cap to joey
- 34:05Speaker 3: for continuing to grind being, a good, dude good teammate
- 34:08Speaker 3: even though he doesn't always produce to the level, people, would.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Like oh one hundred percent. And drew there there's, also
- 34:14Speaker 2: something too like sometimes the maybe lesser guy on the
- 34:18Speaker 2: Roster the res you mentioned how everybody. REACTS to him
- 34:22Speaker 2: i think you've seen that with a lot, of you
- 34:23Speaker 2: know the back end of. The rotation starters teams play
- 34:26Speaker 2: better when that guy's, on the bump not necessarily because,
- 34:29Speaker 2: they're trying harder but the spirit of that individual is is,
- 34:33Speaker 2: is a thing and he has, done a really really
- 34:36Speaker 2: good job of not allowing his personal struggles to impact
- 34:39Speaker 2: how he at least feels or makes it appear he's feeling.
- 34:43Speaker 2: In the clubhouse because when the team's winning and you're,
- 34:46Speaker 2: not playing well that's got to be the worst. Spot of,
- 34:49Speaker 2: understanding you're like you're cashing it in an a on
- 34:51Speaker 2: the group project while knowing that you might maybe not
- 34:55Speaker 2: doing anything to be able to shoulder some.
- 34:56Speaker 5: Of the load that's. A, good point, Yeah You know
- 34:59Speaker 5: joey ortiz has had power. IN the past i always
- 35:02Speaker 5: talk about.
- 35:02Speaker 2: It and it's. In there somewhere he had eleven homers.
- 35:05Speaker 2: TWO years ago. I don't know i'm.
- 35:08Speaker 5: Glad they got they were really, all supporting him and
- 35:10Speaker 5: it felt like. A walk off and then but there's
- 35:12Speaker 5: a point, where it's, like, ALL right guys. I get,
- 35:13Speaker 5: it i stink.
- 35:14Speaker 2: So don't don't let's, not do, This all right you're
- 35:17Speaker 2: gonna make. Me feel bad i've been the fat kid,
- 35:19Speaker 2: finishing off uh finishing off sprints while everybody's, standing there
- 35:23Speaker 2: clapping and then a couple of your friends going start
- 35:25Speaker 2: running with you on. The, last last yeah it.

- 36:45Speaker 2: It takes a shutdown. Towards the Corner, here comes hamilton
- 36:49Speaker 2: no prow two Run. Double dyke terray.
- 36:55Speaker 3: How, about those woodpeckers so well, placed base balls the
- 37:00Speaker 3: bad around.
- 37:01Speaker 2: That Smacked by self freela could not have. Been anything
- 37:04Speaker 2: better just knack the crap. OUT of.
- 37:05Speaker 5: It, i love, Actually you know billy's gonna be the
- 37:09Speaker 5: you know where they just really but that thing rolled
- 37:11Speaker 5: so slowly.
- 37:12Speaker 2: THROUGH the whole i mean it.
- 37:14Speaker 5: WAS amazing Though i mean sal is just a savant
- 37:17Speaker 5: that doing that and finding ways to. MAKE it happen
- 37:20Speaker 5: i always think, Of your Turn billy or drew a.
- 37:22Speaker 5: Small market, rally that's yes that's.
- 37:24Speaker 2: What.
- 37:24Speaker 3: It is like let's say we, got two walks we got,
- 37:26Speaker 3: a wild pitch we. Rolled one through we hit a
- 37:29Speaker 3: little swinging. Bar, catcher's interference yeah swinging bunt where the
- 37:33Speaker 3: pitcher didn't know what base to throw to and he
- 37:35Speaker 3: seized up.
- 37:35Speaker 2: And everybody's safe IT'S just.
- 37:37Speaker 5: Even i have to admit the bunting has an insidious.
- 37:40Speaker 5: Effect on defenses, IT seems, like i mean another mistake
- 37:42Speaker 5: by ANOTHER fielding mistake I think, was waldron right didn't tour.
- 37:45Speaker 5: To the bag it does seem like there are teams
- 37:48Speaker 5: guys that come up that don't know understand how to,
- 37:50Speaker 5: field bunts anymore are not, used to it and it
- 37:53Speaker 5: puts them in.
- 37:53Speaker 2: An uncomfortable position it. Seems, TO work yeah i mean
- 37:56Speaker 2: also when the guy running down the field looks like
- 37:59Speaker 2: A world.
- 37:59Speaker 3: CLASS parizic, exactly i Mean ON opening day i watched
- 38:04Speaker 3: him go home To the, first i'm, Like.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Holy cow like there's fast dudes, on this team And Then,
- 38:08Speaker 2: there's david hamilton and like his ability to to just
- 38:13Speaker 2: find a little bit of a bunting knack is perfect
- 38:17Speaker 2: And may makes murphy look like a genius when in Spring.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Training sant castonia this kid's gonna be big. Time for
- 38:24Speaker 2: us it's gonna be big. Time for us and then
- 38:25Speaker 2: he got rooms like me on, THE radio saying i
- 38:27Speaker 2: Don't remember if i'm looking at a Five, NINETY six.
- 38:30Speaker 2: OPS i don't i don't know how that is exactly
- 38:32Speaker 2: productive in. Big league ball but He mentioned it drew a.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Couple of, TIMES he's like i never really bunted before
- 38:38Speaker 2: now and all, of a sudden being able to take advantage,
- 38:41Speaker 2: of that. Speed, it's different yeah it's.
- 38:43Speaker 3: It's next level so the excitement that we're Feeling with,

- 39:20Speaker 2: way to start your. Big league career that's a. Pretty
- 39:22Speaker 2: good debut it'd be.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Excited about it and then you think about in, your
- 39:25Speaker 3: mind's eyes start Wondering About like cooper pratt and, guys

- 39:31Speaker 3: the first time my day when, he comes, up, you,
- 39:33Speaker 3: know yeah.

- 39:37Speaker 2: explosion last night When Was the cooper? Pratt hot? Take
- 39:40Speaker 2: hump day question is going to? START rolling through i,
- 39:42Speaker 2: assumed pretty quickly like he when when that, Money Gets
- 39:45Speaker 2: paid drew and it's, not, Outrageous cash right like it's it's,
- 39:50Speaker 2: not huge money but it's fifty million dollars committed to. A,
- 39:53Speaker 2: YOUNG player.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Yeah i was never done anything that would have been
- 39:56Speaker 3: unheard of. A generation ago, oh my god could you
- 39:58Speaker 3: it was bad enough they had they freaked out when
- 40:00Speaker 3: they had to pay, the draft picks, like you know four.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Or five, million it's like what are we doing watching
- 40:04Speaker 2: any guy that they would have given. THEM money too
- 40:06Speaker 2: i can't imagine anybody can rest his soul as much
- 40:09Speaker 2: how much we Love Talking. About phil garner could you
- 40:12Speaker 2: imagine gar when you were in, his office, saying hey
- 40:14Speaker 2: man a guy that never played the big leagues Only
- 40:15Speaker 2: has fifty he might have.
- 40:20Speaker 3: Seen it though actually gar would have been a, guy
- 40:22Speaker 3: that say we should do that because it'll.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Save us money on, the back end we're going.
- 40:24Speaker 3: To catch it do you take the money that we're
- 40:26Speaker 3: saving now and then put that into an annuity and
- 40:29Speaker 3: then do that like he's.
- 40:30Speaker 2: We're going to, grow this cash keep it in our
- 40:32Speaker 2: account for a, little bit longer and then we'll find
- 40:34Speaker 2: the way. To pay him but you think that it
- 40:37Speaker 2: starts the shot clock on him, at some point because
- 40:40Speaker 2: that Correct me. If i'm wrong that. Clock ticks right
- 40:42Speaker 2: that's not a. Service time issue now he's gonna make. That,
- 40:44Speaker 2: money regardless No that's service time's not even a thought. Now,
- 40:47Speaker 2: With HIM yeah so i imagine. YOU'RE locked in i
- 40:50Speaker 2: imagine there's a lot of wondering as to when. That would,
- 40:53Speaker 2: go and admittedly, so you know beers, on the table
- 40:56Speaker 2: as we, LIKE to say I Wonder if joey ortiz
- 40:58Speaker 2: would say that that kind of caught up to him.
- 41:01Speaker 2: A little bit you, start hearing it you. Think, About,
- 41:03Speaker 2: it here? Phil what's happening you. DEFINITELY hear footsteps i could.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Definitely see that and.
- 41:07Speaker 5: Even on, THE flip side I Was in eect cooper.
- 41:09Speaker 5: And the, miners you know then all of a sudden he,
- 41:11Speaker 5: Gets the, Money he's like. I've better perform he was cold.
- 41:14Speaker 5: For a while guys are looking at him down there making,
- 41:16Speaker 5: nothing like boy you. Got the money now you're playing.
- 41:18Speaker 5: Those big numbers so it's it's got to be an.
- 41:21Speaker 5: EFFECT on everybody, i, would Think yeah.
- 41:23Speaker 3: Getting, YELLIS back though i, mean he's over, but his
- 41:26Speaker 3: presence just having him back is like they felt like this,
- 41:29Speaker 3: Is the okay so this is their team more or
- 41:31Speaker 3: less offensively, One hundred percent And there's.
- 41:34Speaker 2: The hunter would be able to, speak To it and
- 41:36Speaker 2: rock will in an hour and a half or so
- 41:39Speaker 2: that he's a he's a different kind of leader and
- 41:41Speaker 2: something that You know when drew be sitting there at
