0:11
Speaker 1: the huddle on this Tuesday in the good Land, a muggy,
0:15
Speaker 1: overcast Tuesday with a chance of some rain showers. We're
0:19
Speaker 1: not gonna let that damp on our spirits. Welcome in
0:21
Speaker 1: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid back with us, skating at full
0:25
Speaker 1: strength for the first time in a couple of days.
0:27
Speaker 1: And South Beach Sorry and is behind the glass pushing
0:29
Speaker 1: the buttons. That would be Arman Sticky in full strength.
0:32
Speaker 3: But goodness, gracious, what a night to stay up way
0:36
Speaker 3: later than you plan on doing. We already have some
0:39
Speaker 3: bright eye and pushy tailed listeners in the YouTube comments
0:42
Speaker 3: and our friend Eddie right away morning boys out by
0:45
Speaker 3: the Brewers game had me staying up drinking way too
0:47
Speaker 3: late last night. I think there were a couple of
0:50
Speaker 3: people Drew that thought last call was going to be
0:52
Speaker 3: about forty minutes earlier, and then WHOA, Okay, we're staying
0:55
Speaker 3: in for extras. We got more extra innings at that
0:59
Speaker 3: scorecard looks like a boxer's scorecard.
1:01
Speaker 1: After that game out there in Vegas last night, it
1:03
Speaker 1: was a wild one Brewers prevail in a game that
1:07
Speaker 1: basically just ended. Pretty much, you should.
1:09
Speaker 2: Have just spun the clock and slept during the day
1:12
Speaker 2: and watch it at night, you know.
1:13
Speaker 1: I uh, I happened to I had to answer the
1:17
Speaker 1: call of nature in the middle of the evening, and
1:20
Speaker 1: I stupidly I shouldn't have done this. I should know
1:22
Speaker 1: better'd checked my phone because I'm like, all right, I
1:26
Speaker 1: got to see how the NBA game ended. I got
1:28
Speaker 1: to see what the Brewers did, and I saw that
1:30
Speaker 1: the Brewers were tied in the ninth inning. Well, oh okay,
1:34
Speaker 1: then I started it up. I guess I'll fire it up.
1:36
Speaker 1: And then so I had it on the on my
1:38
Speaker 1: phone watching and with the sound down and ended up watching.
1:43
Speaker 1: And now today my aura ring just said, are you kidding? Seriously, dude,
1:47
Speaker 1: that's what you decided to do last night? My aura
1:49
Speaker 1: ring that tracks my sleeping. I'm a big fan of product.
1:52
Speaker 1: They're not a sponsor, but they should be. If you're
1:55
Speaker 1: a data nerd, if you like to know what your
1:57
Speaker 1: uh you know, your exercise habits and sleep habits are.
2:01
Speaker 1: The Aura ring is, you know, a good start. My
2:03
Speaker 1: readiness score today on a scale of one hundred is
2:05
Speaker 1: fifty six. My sleep score on a scale of one hundred,
2:10
Speaker 1: it was thirty four.
2:11
Speaker 3: Ooh, now that sounds a lot more like where my
2:15
Speaker 3: biology scores were at.
2:17
Speaker 1: And so little sleep last night. Total sleep two hours
2:21
Speaker 1: and fifty eight minutes. Oh brother, that's the rem sleep
2:25
Speaker 1: forty two minutes, deep sleep seventeen. Oh man, it's like
2:28
Speaker 1: you got. I don't get your deep sleep anyway, but
2:31
Speaker 1: you got like you got like an appetizer. But it
2:34
Speaker 1: says time in bed five hours and thirteen minutes. I
2:37
Speaker 1: was in bed longer than that. I don't know what
2:39
Speaker 1: that see.
2:40
Speaker 3: They had heart racing a little bit too long.
2:43
Speaker 2: Maybe fake news was in the low fifties. But you
2:48
Speaker 2: should petition like Brendan Soorsby.
2:50
Speaker 1: But I had long periods of being awake, and especially
2:52
Speaker 1: after the midnight hour.
2:55
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's going dock you for that one. It's
2:56
Speaker 3: not gonna be Your aura is not very happy about that.
2:59
Speaker 3: Kind of not positive. But hey, the Brewers won. I
3:03
Speaker 3: did get to see some history there, a fifteen to
3:06
Speaker 3: fourteen game featuring eleven Homers. I think we can safely
3:10
Speaker 3: say that all they call it's officially called Las Vegas.
3:13
Speaker 1: Ballpark, where they're playing.
3:15
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
3:16
Speaker 1: It's the home of the what was it, Las Vegas Aces.
3:18
Speaker 3: They used to be, used to be the aces, They
3:21
Speaker 3: used to be the fifty ones. I believe. Now they
3:22
Speaker 3: are the aviators. Oh yeah, that's right because they take flight.
3:25
Speaker 1: That's right, because they take flight, and so does the
3:27
Speaker 1: baseball because it's basically playing at hell fair Field.
3:31
Speaker 3: It is.
3:33
Speaker 1: Wind gusting out of there, and the bills the aviators. Yeah, yeah,
3:38
Speaker 1: the thin desert air. There were eleven homers hit last night,
3:41
Speaker 1: four by the Brewers, seven by the A's. Two guys
3:44
Speaker 1: hit two homers for the A's that Nick Kurtz just
3:47
Speaker 1: demolishes base There were the twenty nine combined runs, smash
3:52
Speaker 1: the season high of twenty five set by the Giants
3:55
Speaker 1: back on May thirty first. But there was a seventeenth
4:00
Speaker 1: sixteen thriller on court at course Field for thirty three
4:03
Speaker 1: run combined. But it is it was a complete joke
4:08
Speaker 1: to me. It's like eleven homers in a game.
4:11
Speaker 2: Now.
4:11
Speaker 1: They were having fun on that place, wriggly, with the
4:15
Speaker 1: ball blowing, with the wind blowing out to left. You
4:17
Speaker 1: don't generally see eleven. The Brewers had eighteen hits. The
4:22
Speaker 1: A's had sixteen hits and they're losing effort. Andrew Vaughn
4:26
Speaker 1: had four hits.
4:27
Speaker 3: It makes me wonder if I should be watching Las
4:28
Speaker 3: Vegas avi Eaters baseball.
4:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean maybe if it's that exciting all the time.
4:33
Speaker 1: Goodness.
4:33
Speaker 2: Also, I felt like you were playing like the infield
4:36
Speaker 2: looked like so hard, bouncing crazy like uh like that
4:40
Speaker 2: that that kind of surface they have with the kids parks,
4:42
Speaker 2: you know that just bounce like that fake ground that
4:44
Speaker 2: bounces like that soft ground and just look goofy like
4:47
Speaker 2: every time there's you know, or ts couldn't find it.
4:49
Speaker 3: You're gonna say, maybe the craziest number is no errors.
4:52
Speaker 3: Next to the Brewers when two balls over to Joe
4:54
Speaker 3: your teas Lane Grendel said last night, that's.
4:56
Speaker 1: Just that's just wrong. That's an error that that is
4:59
Speaker 1: that is just wrong.
5:01
Speaker 2: He was.
5:01
Speaker 3: He was fired up, as Drew's called, the nature woke
5:04
Speaker 3: him up naturally. The calls of the thirteen month old
5:08
Speaker 3: woke me up in the middle of the night. But
5:10
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I woke up with those boys
5:12
Speaker 3: still on the earphone in the middle of the eleventh.
5:15
Speaker 1: Inning for Abner your rebay and whatever.
5:18
Speaker 3: That eleventh inning for the biggest slugfest that broke out.
5:21
Speaker 3: That eleventh inning was a struggle of strikeouts and a
5:24
Speaker 3: crazy test to will it was.
5:26
Speaker 1: It's a wild, wild game.
5:27
Speaker 3: Great decision to not play have the ballpark where they're
5:31
Speaker 3: playing it going forward, because you're already into elevation in
5:37
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. You roll even further into the red Rocks
5:40
Speaker 3: to where they're at. You don't have a third level
5:42
Speaker 3: on that ballpark. I think the corner is what three sixteen.
5:45
Speaker 3: I have just the dry desert air and it's just
5:48
Speaker 3: gonna fly out of there. That was a that was
5:51
Speaker 3: batting practice last night. It was wild to watch. However,
5:55
Speaker 3: if you enjoy watching balls, go a very very far way,
5:58
Speaker 3: go back and watch the highlights. There's people in that
6:00
Speaker 3: watch Contreras, Homer, the Contreras, one of those people in
6:03
Speaker 3: the pool. You're in danger in Arizona. You're hanging out.
6:06
Speaker 3: You could have a drink with some salt on the
6:10
Speaker 3: rim and feel pretty confident that you're gonna have a
6:13
Speaker 3: good time in that pool at the ballpark. You better
6:16
Speaker 3: bring a helmet if you're going into that pool out
6:18
Speaker 3: in Vegas, because you are very much in the launching bat.
6:21
Speaker 1: It felt like watching the crowd too.
6:22
Speaker 2: They weren't even reacting anymore to like hard hit balls.
6:25
Speaker 2: There was like so many of these the other sleep right,
6:28
Speaker 2: They doesn't even reacting anymore. They're like, oh, another one.
6:30
Speaker 2: I think that's gone. And the game tying Homer by him?
6:34
Speaker 2: Is it him? I want to say, or jonah Heim time? Yeah,
6:37
Speaker 2: it looks Contrera's definitely thought the game was over slapping
6:40
Speaker 2: his glove like good jobs, pop up, take my mask off.
6:44
Speaker 2: We popped him up, and it's like, oh, that brings
6:46
Speaker 2: TV right out of his bandbox. I guess we're out
6:50
Speaker 2: of here.
6:51
Speaker 1: A lot of numbers from last night, but four hours,
6:55
Speaker 1: fourteen minutes for the time of game that started nine o'clock.
7:00
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, nine o five. I guess is the official
7:03
Speaker 1: starting time, because I think that's the time tonight too.
7:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, nine o five tonight and then eight oh five
7:07
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, four hours fourteen minutes.
7:10
Speaker 1: Of Brewers fans there too, Yeah, And the teams combined
7:14
Speaker 1: to use fourteen pitchers and they threw four hundred and
7:18
Speaker 1: forty one pitches, which was the most in the major
7:19
Speaker 1: leagues this season. If you go back to the postseason
7:23
Speaker 1: the last time or the last time we had that
7:26
Speaker 1: many pitches thrown the eighteen inning Game three of the
7:29
Speaker 1: World Series, which was six hundred and nine pitches. Now,
7:34
Speaker 1: there will definitely be some thing'll call. So, I mean,
7:37
Speaker 1: when you're calling four hundred and you know whatever, pitches
7:40
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty one pitches, there's going to be
7:44
Speaker 1: some miscues. The teams combined for sixteen abs challenges, which
7:48
Speaker 1: did not help the time of game, not in the
7:50
Speaker 1: slight that Also, it was a season high because and
7:54
Speaker 1: that's this is the first year they're using it. So
7:56
Speaker 1: the previous record was twelve in a game. So how
8:02
Speaker 1: about that, so twelve was the previous record. Also involving
8:05
Speaker 1: the A's when they played the Cardinals on May fourteenth,
8:08
Speaker 1: Brewers were five for seven on challenges. The A's were
8:10
Speaker 1: six for nine, but their second challenge on the bottom
8:13
Speaker 1: of the ninth then an extra innings, you get an
8:15
Speaker 1: extra challenge, so and then then they lost one in
8:18
Speaker 1: the twelfth.
8:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they lost one in the twelfth, and
8:21
Speaker 3: I think the one that Uiba threw in the eleventh.
8:25
Speaker 3: There were a couple of ones that were just around
8:27
Speaker 3: the fringes. But you were a little bit nervous to
8:29
Speaker 3: use it. That's a heck of a time to watch
8:32
Speaker 3: a game and see that kind of competitiveness once the
8:36
Speaker 3: game is completely different than what you're playing in a
8:38
Speaker 3: normal game, right, Like you could see with certain players
8:43
Speaker 3: that this it's going to count the same as every
8:46
Speaker 3: other game. But again, it's a weekend, it's a midweek
8:49
Speaker 3: series in June. How much is it going to be
8:52
Speaker 3: hard to overcome and put this thing to bed. Baseball
8:55
Speaker 3: players are better than just about every athlete known to
8:58
Speaker 3: man at putting the first night's result behind him and
9:02
Speaker 3: going on to the next one. Oh yeah, but when
9:04
Speaker 3: you play that long, that many games, that's like a
9:06
Speaker 3: triple overtime game in the playoffs for hockey drew where
9:09
Speaker 3: it's like, I don't know how that doesn't go to
9:12
Speaker 3: bed with you and wake up with you the next.
9:14
Speaker 2: Time you top of the plane that is playing and
9:15
Speaker 2: losing that, right, that's the whole thing.
9:17
Speaker 1: You don't want to go through all that and not
9:19
Speaker 1: get the win. We talked about it yesterday in the
9:21
Speaker 1: context of the Brewers playing at cours Field with the sweep,
9:25
Speaker 1: and I was telling Armin and our friends here in
9:28
Speaker 1: the audience, h what Sorillo told me and the icon
9:31
Speaker 1: Jeff Soerrillo told me when he went from Milwaukee to
9:33
Speaker 1: Colorado and I met a Brewers pet played them. We
9:36
Speaker 1: caught up at mid season and he's like, he was
9:39
Speaker 1: saying how he was beat and he said, you don't understand.
9:42
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it till I play here every day
9:45
Speaker 1: that every game feels like three games. If you're up,
9:48
Speaker 1: you can be down eight to nothing, and then you're
9:50
Speaker 1: up ten to eight, and then you're down fifteen to twelve.
9:52
Speaker 1: He's like, every game is that emotional three hour and
9:55
Speaker 1: he goes it is a grind mentally, much worse than
9:59
Speaker 1: playing in any other st to play in Colorado, which
10:01
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the case that in the
10:03
Speaker 1: ELTs do like sure don't win. It's hard for them
10:05
Speaker 1: to be and playing in that ballpark would be ridiculous.
10:09
Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean one of the first best pitchers
10:12
Speaker 1: got torched.
10:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and that was the one where you,
10:15
Speaker 3: like sports radio guy would be like, let's way you
10:17
Speaker 3: go up and say they're a problem with Aaron Ashby
10:23
Speaker 3: Harrison and all these guys rolling through. Uh No, I
10:26
Speaker 3: think that's gonna be the desert air and whenever they
10:28
Speaker 3: rectify and build that new stadium with the roof, it's
10:30
Speaker 3: gonna be a little bit different.
10:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Kyle Harrison two and a third innings,
10:34
Speaker 1: eight hits, eight runs, all earned, two walks, four strikeouts,
10:37
Speaker 1: three bombs. Is era ticked up to two seven to two.
10:41
Speaker 3: That's probably the most frustrating part for the first pitch.
10:44
Speaker 3: I the highlights will treat you to some of Jeff
10:46
Speaker 3: Levering's some stylings of the Brewers Radio Network with Lang
10:49
Speaker 3: Grendel and Josh Mauer and uh the A's TV call.
10:52
Speaker 2: That's guy, Thank you, billy, I'm watching it. This guy,
10:56
Speaker 2: I don't know what an electric fact on one. I mean,
10:59
Speaker 2: he's perfect for that time.
11:00
Speaker 1: That was incredible.
11:01
Speaker 2: It's like he was auditioning for like every like you know,
11:04
Speaker 2: Causina everything like out there, like he's like letting you know,
11:07
Speaker 2: like when I'm coming.
11:07
Speaker 1: To Todd, I'm crazy, So you guys know I'm here
11:10
Speaker 1: at a party.
11:11
Speaker 3: He raised a Vegas bomb call on the first pitch
11:14
Speaker 3: of the game that lang Lears puts game near out
11:16
Speaker 3: of the stadium.
11:17
Speaker 2: He had him, He must have had him planned, because
11:19
Speaker 2: he had that first one right away. Vegas bomb. He
11:21
Speaker 2: had one lights up the strip. Well you're thirty minutes
11:24
Speaker 2: away from the strip, but you can see the lights.
11:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, you caught. I can see the lights.
11:28
Speaker 2: The lights are clear in the desert. But it was
11:30
Speaker 2: just hilarious how excited this guy was. He was a
11:32
Speaker 2: hype machine. Now he might not have expected fifteen runs,
11:35
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, twenty nine runs combined, but.
11:37
Speaker 1: He kept the energy.
11:39
Speaker 3: I mean that that Nick Kurtz home run in the
11:41
Speaker 3: in the tenth was still it was still bumping through.
11:43
Speaker 1: Temperature at first pitch was eighty seven. It's gonna be
11:46
Speaker 1: warmer tonight and tomorrow tomorrow. Apparently the wind was blowing
11:52
Speaker 1: right to left at nine miles an hour, which helped.
11:55
Speaker 1: But the attendance was a eight nineteen. Probably as many
11:59
Speaker 1: Brewers fans as A's fans. I would imagine.
12:01
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you could hear throughout the nights
12:03
Speaker 3: and let's go Brewers chance and and I do wonder
12:06
Speaker 3: if there are anybody that you know that's gonna be
12:09
Speaker 3: a tough one to go to bed after, Like you're
12:11
Speaker 3: you're in in Vegas at the game. I assume there's
12:14
Speaker 3: actually some that are waking up probably still deciding that
12:17
Speaker 3: they're gonna go to bed right now. We'd love to
12:18
Speaker 3: hear from you if you were at the game last
12:20
Speaker 3: k Yeah, if you're there.
12:20
Speaker 1: Alive, let us know. I'd love to hear from somebody
12:22
Speaker 1: who was up watching it because we have a few people,
12:25
Speaker 1: uh like Joe and Pewaukee texted the program right after
12:28
Speaker 1: the game ended.
12:29
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well and Joe, Joe's getting up early for work,
12:32
Speaker 3: so I got a feeling Joe's gonna tap in with.
12:34
Speaker 1: Us at Chad Dogrick Chad Patrick for pitching the ninth
12:38
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Yeah, it was a crazy game. But was
12:42
Speaker 1: it good? Like? Is that a good thing to have
12:44
Speaker 1: a joke of a ballpark like that and have a
12:46
Speaker 1: pop up tie the game and extra innings?
12:48
Speaker 2: Like it's cool to me, it's entertaining for a novelty,
12:51
Speaker 2: Like every game like that would be kind of like.
12:54
Speaker 1: You don't want every game to be four hours and
12:56
Speaker 1: fourteen minutes.
12:57
Speaker 2: That being said, like if you like to see action,
12:59
Speaker 2: which a lot of pell do, Oh yeah, that was your game.
13:01
Speaker 1: There's no question about it, all right, more exciting last
13:04
Speaker 1: night's brewers A's game or the party animals huh? At
13:08
Speaker 1: Sunday American Family Field.
13:10
Speaker 3: Well, this, this one would be a lot more fun
13:12
Speaker 3: because they were actually baseball being a hit.
13:14
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the Party Animals game was more
13:16
Speaker 1: like real baseball. It should have been flipped, shouldn't it
13:19
Speaker 1: shouldn't the entertainment spectacle feature fourteen homers.
13:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just gonna make a whole lot of contact.
13:26
Speaker 3: But this is a I get it, Drew. I totally
13:29
Speaker 3: do that that. There's so many that love the great
13:33
Speaker 3: pitchers duel and the excite me and and that is fun.
13:35
Speaker 3: And I totally love a one nothing game. But I'll
13:38
Speaker 3: admit I'm a simpleton. I'm fun.
13:40
Speaker 1: I like action.
13:42
Speaker 3: That game does it for me last night, Like I
13:44
Speaker 3: know that it's not the way that they grew up
13:47
Speaker 3: playing the game in the Polo Grounds, where you had
13:48
Speaker 3: to hit the ball five hundred feet the dead center
13:51
Speaker 3: to hit one out. But that ball starts popping out
13:53
Speaker 3: of there, and when they start juicing, baseball's up.
13:56
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of it.
13:57
Speaker 3: I enjoy it, and I do think there are some
14:00
Speaker 3: more than people would admit that do smile last night
14:04
Speaker 3: and say like, dang, I kind of wish there were
14:05
Speaker 3: a few more games like that.
14:06
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, home runs are fun. Watching balls being hit
14:08
Speaker 2: is fun. I wouldn't deny that at all. I mean
14:11
Speaker 2: every now and then you run into a game like that.
14:12
Speaker 2: And that's what makes baseball exciting is that there are
14:15
Speaker 2: nights like that. Weren't a lot of runs were scored?
14:17
Speaker 2: Drew ninety three year old series? Were you covering that
14:20
Speaker 2: was Philly? Well, would give you some props? I thought, maybe? No, No, no,
14:26
Speaker 2: I guess you're right. That'd been thirty three years ago. Yeah,
14:29
Speaker 2: went like close, sub reporter closed. But there was a
14:32
Speaker 2: fifteen fourteen game in that one Phillies Blue Jays went
14:36
Speaker 2: one fifteen fourteen game four.
14:38
Speaker 1: So there are nights like that. In the last twenty
14:40
Speaker 1: five years in the major leagues there have been two
14:42
Speaker 1: fifteen to fourteen final scores. So it wasn't even a
14:46
Speaker 1: scoring commy, No, and both were Brewers road wins. That's
14:49
Speaker 1: awesome because the Brewers on August seventeenth, twenty nineteen, beat
14:53
Speaker 1: the Nationals at Nationals Park fifteen to fourteen. Holy cow. Okay,
14:57
Speaker 1: there you go to the nation's cap. When it comes
14:59
Speaker 1: to fifteen run fifteen fourteen games, the Brewers dominate where
15:03
Speaker 1: your guy, they absolutely dominate.
15:05
Speaker 2: I knew something well that happened because I woke up
15:07
Speaker 2: with you guys talk about the checking the score. My
15:09
Speaker 2: group texts were going off, so when they do, it's
15:11
Speaker 2: like you have forty nine new texts or something because
15:14
Speaker 2: they're only adding up and I'm like, Wow, something must
15:16
Speaker 2: have happened in this game or the finals, I was
15:18
Speaker 2: gonna say.
15:18
Speaker 1: And they weren't talking about Stefan Castle. Well a couple.
15:21
Speaker 1: There was a couple, but there was mostly Brewers. Yeah,
15:24
Speaker 1: we'll listen to uh Pat Murphy's presser later, but he
15:28
Speaker 1: did say that it's the craziest Major League game he's
15:30
Speaker 1: ever been a part of, and also said we won't
15:33
Speaker 1: be taking batting practice tomorrow. It won't be taking BP tomorrow.
15:36
Speaker 1: I think we'll be okay.
15:37
Speaker 3: I think you could also know that you're gonna walk
15:39
Speaker 3: in and probably make some solid contact.
15:42
Speaker 1: Kurt Hoague from The Journal Centinel was not at the game.
15:44
Speaker 1: Todd Rosick drew the assignment of going to Vegas. Kurt
15:48
Speaker 1: Hoague tweeted major League Baseball should be embarrassed for playing
15:50
Speaker 1: meaningful games in this park in the middle of summer.
15:54
Speaker 3: They play it the Little League World Series, now, didn't they?
15:58
Speaker 1: Or they played the tyres and the diet. They played
16:01
Speaker 1: in the Field of Dreams.
16:02
Speaker 3: They played a game in uh Pennsylvania by the Little
16:06
Speaker 3: League World Series.
16:07
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not the end of the world. It's
16:09
Speaker 1: just a baseball game, which someone said, I can't believe
16:11
Speaker 1: people aren't having fun watching this. It's a blast, And
16:14
Speaker 1: Kurt Hoag said, I think the home run derby's entertaining too.
16:17
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that's how a meaningful big league game should
16:20
Speaker 1: be decided. This whole game felt absurd.
16:22
Speaker 2: I appreciate Kurt standing on his business what he feels,
16:24
Speaker 2: but it wasn't. I was more worried about, like, I
16:27
Speaker 2: want us to find a way to win this thing.
16:29
Speaker 2: It was you know, if it's fourteen to ten and
16:32
Speaker 2: you got your one out of way, you start getting
16:34
Speaker 2: dirt like you lose a game like that, it's gonna
16:36
Speaker 2: be you know. It takes a lot of wind out
16:38
Speaker 2: of your sales. The good thing about it is Kyle
16:40
Speaker 2: Harrison really has his first really bad moment in the
16:42
Speaker 2: major leagues and gives up all those runs.
16:45
Speaker 3: But you can easily excuse it. You can say all
16:47
Speaker 3: this is what It's an easy one to put about, so.
16:50
Speaker 2: It's easy to cope with my Kopium was right there
16:53
Speaker 2: ready to go. So think about the ASHB. Obviously we
16:56
Speaker 2: won the game. That's that was the main thing. You
16:58
Speaker 2: don't want to lose a game like that.
17:00
Speaker 1: Well, the Brewers, this was the first game of like
17:04
Speaker 1: the six that they're going to play right there because
17:05
Speaker 1: the Rocky three here and then three against the Rocky
17:08
Speaker 1: Rockies play this weekend and on Sunday. The forecast for
17:12
Speaker 1: their afternoon getaway game is one hundred and six.
17:14
Speaker 3: And Colorado's like, you guys think this is a problem,
17:17
Speaker 3: but welcome to our lives.
17:19
Speaker 2: Hey, that's why they're going to have that roof on
17:21
Speaker 2: there in the new ballpark in the old Tropicana site.
17:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one hundred and six is going to be
17:26
Speaker 3: incredible underneath that glass.
17:28
Speaker 2: Well, this was a problem I think for the minor
17:30
Speaker 2: league situation.
17:31
Speaker 1: Teams didn't want to Well it is and the Brewers
17:33
Speaker 1: had their Triple A team at Colorado Springs and you
17:36
Speaker 1: talked to Tim Gillard, Oh, Woodruff and Burns can cut
17:39
Speaker 1: their teeth there also, Yeah, no doubt. So Vegas is
17:42
Speaker 1: at two thousand feet above sea level, which would rank
17:45
Speaker 1: second among active MLB parks, Course field obviously mile high
17:50
Speaker 1: ninety degrees wind blowing out like at about ten miles
17:53
Speaker 1: an hour. The outfield is larger than most in the
17:57
Speaker 1: MLB to account for the persistent high heat and altitude.
18:00
Speaker 1: But oh my goodness, it measures three forty down the lines,
18:03
Speaker 1: three eighty to each gap, four fifteen to center, and
18:06
Speaker 1: most of the left side is guarded by a thirteen
18:08
Speaker 1: foot tall fence. All right, guys were crushing it over
18:11
Speaker 1: that thing. That's cute. It's the most prolific hitter environment
18:16
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Coast League and it's not a major
18:18
Speaker 1: league facility. I just don't think it is. It would
18:20
Speaker 1: be a joke if you play. That's why they're only
18:22
Speaker 1: playing a week.
18:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're a hitter, though, you're not mad at it.
18:28
Speaker 1: You're you're like, please put me in the lineup tonight. Please.
18:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:31
Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe I am wrong. I think it.
18:34
Speaker 1: I think fans enjoy it.
18:35
Speaker 3: Like again, you're not gonna play a whole season, there,
18:37
Speaker 3: no doubt because nobody would want to go and sign there.
18:40
Speaker 3: But I might figure out how to take a nap.
18:43
Speaker 3: If that's gonna be the game that we're gonna find, Like,
18:45
Speaker 3: if that's gonna be the game.
18:46
Speaker 1: We're gonna get tonight.
18:47
Speaker 3: I'll figure out a way to be staying up for
18:48
Speaker 3: a little bit more of this, and it won't just
18:50
Speaker 3: be because of the Cup final playing out.
18:52
Speaker 1: In Vegas as well. If you're thinking that, yeah, if
18:55
Speaker 1: you're thinking that that's gonna happen, it'll probably be a
18:57
Speaker 1: one to nothing pitch pictures.
18:59
Speaker 2: Would be take it well, hashtag baseball. Well, they has
19:03
Speaker 2: twelve and a half of the over under today.
19:05
Speaker 1: It was that eleven last night. They had cash in
19:07
Speaker 1: the third inning. Oh yeah, they're they're pumping that thing up.
19:10
Speaker 1: We got plenty to get to today. We had a
19:11
Speaker 1: pretty good NBA game. The Spurs got off the mat.
19:15
Speaker 1: The Knicks did not frustrate Wemby. Karl Anthony Towns looked
19:18
Speaker 1: the pedestrian and give him the ball at all. And
19:21
Speaker 1: the Knicks are now on their ropes. They might be
19:24
Speaker 1: feeling the pressure a little bit. The series just got interesting.
19:26
Speaker 1: This is a pressure cooker. What a time allion wants
19:30
Speaker 1: to say.
19:31
Speaker 2: Alright, as is in the jackpopp That's how the New
19:33
Speaker 2: York Knicks are feeling.
19:34
Speaker 1: This looks like the old adage, though, it's like everybody
19:36
Speaker 1: says A serious doesn't start till the home team wins
19:39
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, so was.
19:41
Speaker 3: It the second time in NBA Finals history all three
19:44
Speaker 3: games have been to the road teams.
19:46
Speaker 1: Right by God. But I'm glad. Well, we'll get to
19:48
Speaker 1: it now. Talk about that. We'll talk about a new
19:50
Speaker 1: development and American Family Field. We'll talk. We got plenty
19:54
Speaker 1: to unpack today. We're glad you're hanging out with us.
19:56
Speaker 1: Billy is back. We got to talk to him about
19:58
Speaker 1: his weekend adventure. Sure, I can't wait at the ballpark.
20:02
Speaker 1: We got plenty of unpacked today. You are in the
20:03
Speaker 1: huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, sailing through a Tuesday in
20:10
Speaker 1: the good Land. It's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine,
20:12
Speaker 1: twenty Milwaukee ten seventy, Medison everywhere on the iHeart app Drew,
20:15
Speaker 1: Billy and Arman back with you. Brewers win last night,
20:18
Speaker 1: well early this morning, Yeah early, it starts always going
20:22
Speaker 1: to be a late night, but a four hour, fourteen
20:24
Speaker 1: minute game with no mat at what times, home run
20:27
Speaker 1: derby and all the pitches and then the challenges and
20:30
Speaker 1: the xCE rings. But the Brewers prevailed, and now one
20:33
Speaker 1: more win in the desert and they can claim another series,
20:37
Speaker 1: which is what it's all about. The Brewers are looking
20:40
Speaker 1: like a wagon right now. To win a game like that.
20:42
Speaker 1: I mean, you can make the case they're up for two,
20:44
Speaker 1: but this is you know, like I said, they're playing
20:46
Speaker 1: at hellfare Field. Runs are cheap, early leads mean nothing,
20:50
Speaker 1: and it's just hang on till the last out, which
20:52
Speaker 1: the Brewers did thanks to Chad Patrick and Abner u
20:55
Speaker 1: Rebe shutting down the A's on the back end of
20:58
Speaker 1: the game, dude, because I'm not playing, and Ashby though
21:00
Speaker 1: the case no again the game time, he gave it
21:03
Speaker 1: back to back Homers and puked away a four run
21:06
Speaker 1: lead and the Homers could have been out and it
21:08
Speaker 1: looked like.
21:09
Speaker 3: I don't know that on that one, that one, that one,
21:12
Speaker 3: that one might car but you don't know if you're
21:15
Speaker 3: out of the inning like that. And listen, he's been
21:18
Speaker 3: so good over those last couple of appearances.
21:21
Speaker 1: I'm not worried. So good that you're not you don't
21:23
Speaker 1: really worry. And Harrison has pitched in that climate before
21:26
Speaker 1: because he was with the Giants in the minors, so
21:28
Speaker 1: it's not that it's new to him. But still it's
21:30
Speaker 1: just you just got to kind of sweep that one
21:33
Speaker 1: under the rug and now survive in advance this ballpark.
21:36
Speaker 1: What a trip though. I mean, the Brewers did pitch
21:39
Speaker 1: well in Colorado, h and they hit well. I mean
21:42
Speaker 1: the Bruis are everything. Like nine or and a half
21:44
Speaker 1: runs a game in the month of June playing these
21:46
Speaker 1: two band boxes.
21:47
Speaker 3: It's a it's an incredible uh week to get yourself
21:50
Speaker 3: out of the cellar on home runs as a team,
21:53
Speaker 3: right Like, this is a weekend where you can boost
21:55
Speaker 3: up your numbers a little bit because before Friday night
21:59
Speaker 3: they hit the five home runs, they had their two
22:03
Speaker 3: biggest home run output games I believe was a loss
22:06
Speaker 3: against Washington and a loss against the Giants last Thursday.
22:10
Speaker 3: When they hit four of them, they still were coming
22:13
Speaker 3: up empty. So you get into the w column and
22:17
Speaker 3: you win it this way. I thought your Rebay was
22:20
Speaker 3: masterful to be able to get out of that. And
22:23
Speaker 3: if there's anybody that would live and die on the emotion,
22:25
Speaker 3: you knew it was gonna be him. And he rose
22:27
Speaker 3: straight to that occasion. He was waiting to be able
22:29
Speaker 3: to hit.
22:29
Speaker 2: That seally after that, you know, And for all the
22:31
Speaker 2: talk about the Brewers offense and well, they pick and pack,
22:34
Speaker 2: but they don't get enough home runs and power.
22:36
Speaker 1: We know that's an issue.
22:37
Speaker 2: But for all the talk about that, the Brewers are
22:39
Speaker 2: sitting here today, they scored three hundred and forty four runs.
22:42
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have scored three hundred and forty five, and
22:44
Speaker 2: the Braves have scored three hundred and forty four. So
22:46
Speaker 2: they're right at the mark of the two other juggernauts
22:49
Speaker 2: or wagons or whatever you want to say in the
22:52
Speaker 2: National League. Whether or not that presents further problems down
22:55
Speaker 2: the road when we start to put our sweatshirts on
22:57
Speaker 2: and the fall leaves start to fall, that's one thing.
22:59
Speaker 2: But as you can sit right now, you know the
23:01
Speaker 2: Brewers are doing their thing. And I would say this,
23:05
Speaker 2: I said it last year for much of the season
23:07
Speaker 2: when the Brewers are playing very well on their incredible streak,
23:10
Speaker 2: that their biggest weakness was more perception than anything on
23:12
Speaker 2: the field. Is that there's just a lot of people
23:14
Speaker 2: either don't believe it should continue to happen, or it
23:17
Speaker 2: will continue to happen, or that maybe.
23:19
Speaker 1: They'll go to the well, will matter in the playoffs,
23:21
Speaker 1: so and so.
23:22
Speaker 2: But right now the Brewers are really cresting away it
23:26
Speaker 2: feels like and just every time they go out there,
23:29
Speaker 2: you expect them to perform, you expect them to win,
23:31
Speaker 2: and they've been doing it well.
23:32
Speaker 1: You know, if you've listened for any amount of time.
23:35
Speaker 1: One of my favorite theories in sports is regression to
23:37
Speaker 1: the mean. Like the you get the highs and the lows,
23:41
Speaker 1: and then there's a mid point you expect things to settle,
23:44
Speaker 1: and they generally do, like uh, like take the Reds
23:49
Speaker 1: earlier this year, like they're they're they're winning games and
23:51
Speaker 1: they're feeling good, and it's like, yeah, now they were
23:53
Speaker 1: to live in the dream. They were living the dream
23:55
Speaker 1: for a while and then it started the regression. And
23:58
Speaker 1: years ago when the Brewers were looking up at the
24:00
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Cardinals had pooh holes and LaRussa and
24:02
Speaker 1: all those guys, and the Cardinals were like, yeah, June July,
24:06
Speaker 1: like June, the birds are scrappy, but I don't think
24:08
Speaker 1: they're built for the long haul. Just what you're gonna
24:10
Speaker 1: they call that now. The flip side of that is
24:14
Speaker 1: like Jake Bowers, who's been terrific, hit a homer last night,
24:18
Speaker 1: his twelve. Jake Bowers has twelve homers and one hundred
24:20
Speaker 1: and ninety six at bats, dwarfing. Everybody's like, Oh, I
24:23
Speaker 1: gotta play them all the time, got to play them
24:24
Speaker 1: all the time. Andrew Vaughn hit a homer last night,
24:26
Speaker 1: his second in eighty eight at bats. Now Andrew Vaughan
24:31
Speaker 1: has showed like last year again he will He's not
24:35
Speaker 1: going to regress. He's going to progress. Yeah, he's gonna
24:37
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to How many home runs will
24:39
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughn have when he gets when he's knocking on
24:42
Speaker 1: two hundred at bats? Will it be four at his
24:46
Speaker 1: current pace or five? Or will it be close to ten, eleven, twelve.
24:50
Speaker 1: That's what I look at, is like stuff like that,
24:52
Speaker 1: the trends like that in the game. And can Jake
24:54
Speaker 1: Bowers keep this up? Maybe he hasn't done it in
24:57
Speaker 1: his career, No, but can he or will he regress
25:00
Speaker 1: back to you know where he was? And will he
25:03
Speaker 1: slow down and then Andrew Vaughan picks up or will
25:06
Speaker 1: they both continue to produce? Because I think Vaughan is
25:08
Speaker 1: gonna surg he's hitting for average, hasn't had the power yet,
25:12
Speaker 1: but I think he will.
25:13
Speaker 3: No, and I think Drew Both of those guys are
25:15
Speaker 3: arguably putting together some of your best at bats throughout consistently,
25:19
Speaker 3: like Bowers.
25:20
Speaker 1: The best thing that he's done.
25:21
Speaker 3: Yes, the home runs are beautiful, and that's exactly what
25:24
Speaker 3: you want to see from any bat. I mean, his
25:27
Speaker 3: ability to take a walk at any point in the
25:29
Speaker 3: game has forced teams to have to give him a
25:32
Speaker 3: pitch that he's gonna hit. And and I think that's
25:35
Speaker 3: the secret that the Brewers have been able to unlock
25:38
Speaker 3: with so many of these guys. And you mentioned it
25:40
Speaker 3: with Vaughan. What was the number one thing Murph told
25:42
Speaker 3: him last year?
25:43
Speaker 1: Swing?
25:43
Speaker 3: It strikes you, Chase, you're gonna go down to triple
25:45
Speaker 3: A again and quickly get that gets changed. They have
25:49
Speaker 3: enough players who again I mean Jackson Cheerio is just
25:52
Speaker 3: ripping the cover off the ball, Drew. He hasn't really
25:54
Speaker 3: hit for a ton of power outside of the two
25:56
Speaker 3: homer game right like those There's a lot more homers in.
25:59
Speaker 1: That bat as well, for sure, and long as his
26:01
Speaker 1: average stays up, he's going to run into song.
26:03
Speaker 3: It's going to be tough to figure out the mathematics
26:06
Speaker 3: of that outfield, but they're finding different ways to make
26:08
Speaker 3: sure all those guys eat because that top of the
26:11
Speaker 3: order is just carrying him right now, Well.
26:12
Speaker 1: They mentioned it. There were some dicey scoring decisions, but
26:15
Speaker 1: the Brewers, in addition to pitching, the defense has been good.
26:18
Speaker 1: And the Brewers run the bases as good as anybody
26:20
Speaker 1: because the Yellowie scoring, Yellick's scoring on the fielder's choice
26:24
Speaker 1: and his slide and just Yellowich his base running. You know, Rock,
26:29
Speaker 1: it's a drinking game. At what point will Rock talk
26:31
Speaker 1: about how great it is watching Yellicks go first to third? Yes,
26:34
Speaker 1: how much do I love watching anytime Yelick says that
26:37
Speaker 1: he will rave about it, and he does it every time,
26:40
Speaker 1: and I love it and it's worth pointing out. But
26:43
Speaker 1: the other hidden thing in last night's game, amidst the
26:45
Speaker 1: home run barrage and everything, was that when Bower's got
26:49
Speaker 1: a hit and murvh Pinch ran for him with Blake Perkins,
26:53
Speaker 1: huge decision and you're like, oh, why is he taking
26:56
Speaker 1: his bat out of the game. Well then there's a
26:57
Speaker 1: hit and you know, Perkins score huge run from a
27:01
Speaker 1: huge run from first base. Was a terrain that got
27:04
Speaker 1: the head that they scored him or what. I don't
27:05
Speaker 1: remember who. I think it was fun Yeah, it was fun. Yeah,
27:09
Speaker 1: it was fine four last night. Yeah. So I don't
27:12
Speaker 1: know that Bower scores on that play, and that changes
27:15
Speaker 1: the dynamic of the game. So Murph made a move
27:17
Speaker 1: there that people might have, you know, holding their their
27:20
Speaker 1: miller light in their hand, taking that gug. You're taking
27:23
Speaker 1: out Rag Bauers for Perkins the socks. Well, Perkins scored
27:26
Speaker 1: a run that ended up being a huge in that game. Yeah,
27:29
Speaker 1: it was in the river of stuff that happened in
27:31
Speaker 1: that game, but that was a big play. And that's
27:33
Speaker 1: one of the things that the Brewers do with their speed.
27:36
Speaker 3: You put so much pressure and I don't know that
27:39
Speaker 3: we'll get the left fielder to admit it, but you
27:41
Speaker 3: could tell he was quick to try to go and
27:43
Speaker 3: grab that ball out down the corner. Drew and I
27:46
Speaker 3: think the pressure that perkins speed put on him as
27:48
Speaker 3: you bobble it a little bit and it bounces away
27:50
Speaker 3: from you, it's that's a masterful decision because nobody could
27:54
Speaker 3: have anticipated Perkins is still gonna get too in bats
27:57
Speaker 3: in that moment you think you could finish it right there.
28:00
Speaker 1: And the flip side of that is you watch other
28:02
Speaker 1: teams play and you watch the birds, and I don't know, maybe,
28:05
Speaker 1: and I think part of it is Yelich and the
28:07
Speaker 1: way he approaches things because yellows and that's your captain.
28:09
Speaker 1: It's a different you half the captain. And I said
28:11
Speaker 1: this about Yiannis too. When you're your hardest working guy
28:14
Speaker 1: is your best player, it sets a tone, right. Meanwhile,
28:17
Speaker 1: I was watching a highlight over the weekend of Juan
28:20
Speaker 1: Soto seven hundred and fifty million dollar man loafing down
28:25
Speaker 1: on a ground what he thought was an inning andding
28:26
Speaker 1: grounded or shore to a second and he loafed down.
28:29
Speaker 1: The guy kicks it and still throws him out because
28:32
Speaker 1: he didn't run, he didn't run hard. And it's like,
28:35
Speaker 1: there's the difference. There's your big guy loafing and stinging you,
28:39
Speaker 1: costing you a run. Because there was a guy on
28:40
Speaker 1: third yep, and he rolled over and got mad and
28:43
Speaker 1: just jogged it and then picked up the pace about
28:45
Speaker 1: you know, sixty feet. I was gonna say, yeah, a
28:48
Speaker 1: third of the way to go. That is an That's
28:50
Speaker 1: one where you know, back in back when I was
28:53
Speaker 1: a kid, you'd go watch Robin you out and your
28:55
Speaker 1: dad say, hey, look see you see him run that ground? Ball,
28:57
Speaker 1: always played, he always did, always gave the effort, ran
29:01
Speaker 1: out every ball, and Soda doesn't run out. It's like
29:04
Speaker 1: the cost of your run. And it's like he's your
29:06
Speaker 1: best player and that is you know, and that's way
29:09
Speaker 1: too cost. You're a thousand or so. How do you
29:11
Speaker 1: put a value on that for your whole team to
29:13
Speaker 1: do that little stupid stuff like always touching first base,
29:15
Speaker 1: not peeling off and you know, always run run, touch
29:19
Speaker 1: first base on the ground out no matter how much
29:21
Speaker 1: your out by touch run through the bag.
29:23
Speaker 3: Is it to say like that's that stuff is the
29:27
Speaker 3: part of the Brewers recipe that nobody looks they.
29:33
Speaker 1: I think it absolutely is. And that comes from that
29:36
Speaker 1: starts in the minor league system. Great talk to you know,
29:39
Speaker 1: Tom Flanagan and those guys and all the managers of
29:41
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. But Murph and Council, they they instilled
29:44
Speaker 1: that there was Remember Murph hooked Freelick for not hustling
29:48
Speaker 1: and stuff like, they send the message that is the
29:51
Speaker 1: baseline expectation. And in the room, in the in the clubhouse,
29:57
Speaker 1: guys will hold each other accountable. And so I don't
29:59
Speaker 1: know if the Brewers even have kangaroo court like they
30:01
Speaker 1: used to. Maybe they do the teams kind.
30:04
Speaker 3: They probably have to go on poot Pokemon cards or
30:07
Speaker 3: something like that, gotten away from that, but they just
30:09
Speaker 3: like they do the rookie dress up thing.
30:11
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they still. But Kangaroo Court,
30:12
Speaker 1: that was the kind of thing that Kangaroo court. You'd
30:14
Speaker 1: get written up for that for stupid stuff like that,
30:16
Speaker 1: for going to the plate with your you know, with
30:19
Speaker 1: one flap out with your your back pocket of your.
30:21
Speaker 3: Pants out, with your oven mint in the back pocket,
30:24
Speaker 3: just even with a pocket out.
30:26
Speaker 1: You know, it's like that's a bad look you get,
30:27
Speaker 1: you get fined for stupid stuff like that. Holding team
30:30
Speaker 1: teammates accountable. But that stuff like that is often the
30:33
Speaker 1: difference between winning a loose game and that plays like
30:37
Speaker 1: that are part of the reason that Brewers come back
30:40
Speaker 1: and win games when they're down five to two, because
30:42
Speaker 1: they take every bat they the drag them mentality.
30:46
Speaker 3: For every single Yep, it totally does. And it starts
30:49
Speaker 3: at the top of it. You don't always need your
30:52
Speaker 3: best player to be your best leader. Sure as hell
30:54
Speaker 3: helps really right, like it sure helps us. And now
30:57
Speaker 3: you need your best player to produce. Yeah, you need
30:59
Speaker 3: your best player to produce and be that guy, and
31:02
Speaker 3: you talk about the long line of it. I think
31:05
Speaker 3: my favorite is when Counts gets the job sixteen. He
31:08
Speaker 3: gets the managerial job in sixteen, one of his first
31:11
Speaker 3: statements at the press conference was, Greg, how are you
31:15
Speaker 3: gonna fix this stuff? How are you gonna get this
31:17
Speaker 3: team back to the playoffs? Or the first time since
31:18
Speaker 3: twenty eleven, We're gonna be better teammates.
31:21
Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly it.
31:22
Speaker 3: It's not just oh, your buddy got fell down after
31:26
Speaker 3: going and chasing down a fly ball. No, it's grinding
31:28
Speaker 3: through every single at bat to then try to move
31:31
Speaker 3: the line for the next guy and take every opportunity
31:35
Speaker 3: to get better, because then you know that you're pushing
31:37
Speaker 3: somebody else around you, Like that's a that's an intrinsic
31:40
Speaker 3: motivation that only those guys can articulate how much it
31:44
Speaker 3: goes through the locker room. But you can't say that
31:46
Speaker 3: it doesn't like it's hard to quantify, but it's easy
31:49
Speaker 3: to feel.
31:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's well talk about it like there's a standard
31:51
Speaker 1: here and like that we expect to win and that's
31:54
Speaker 1: winning baseball, and that's not everybody plays that like not
31:58
Speaker 1: everybody you know, guy on second, nobody out, Like, I'm
32:02
Speaker 1: gonna drive this guy in. I need I want to
32:03
Speaker 1: get to one hundred RBI this year. I'm gonna drive
32:05
Speaker 1: this guy. No hit it to the other way, the
32:07
Speaker 1: other way. Let the next guy drive him in. It's
32:09
Speaker 1: hard to get teams to play that way.
32:11
Speaker 3: Hearing Ted Simmons and uh, I can't remember. Did we
32:15
Speaker 3: have John Morosi? I want to say, had a hope
32:19
Speaker 3: John dude, he did a he did a podcast with
32:21
Speaker 3: Ted Simmons and he talked about that when he came
32:23
Speaker 3: over to the Brewers and he's like, I'm looking at
32:26
Speaker 3: in that great Ted Simmons voice, right, He's like, I'm
32:28
Speaker 3: talking to you out olider playing ABC Baseball.
32:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not going for your RBI. We're gonna win
32:37
Speaker 1: the game. And that's that stuff happens and is real.
32:41
Speaker 2: You might've had some of that too in that in
32:42
Speaker 2: the documentary. Yeah, just a bit outside, Just outside. Also
32:46
Speaker 2: had a lot of good parts about Yodad, about thinking
32:49
Speaker 2: the game out and stuff.
32:49
Speaker 1: He had a lot of great parts. He really really quick,
32:52
Speaker 1: he really really sees it really quick. Guys.
32:54
Speaker 2: You talking about Andrew Vaughan, He might not have the
32:56
Speaker 2: big homer numbers yet, but in ninety six plate appearances
32:59
Speaker 2: nine doubles, so is percentage is still very high, nine
33:01
Speaker 2: to fifty seven. Obviously his That's why I think it'll correct. Yeah,
33:05
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some sort of normalization. He doesn't have
33:07
Speaker 2: the at bats yet, but the question is worldly settle
33:10
Speaker 2: and he's had a really good start in terms of
33:11
Speaker 2: those numbers this year. Even if he doesn't get a
33:13
Speaker 2: lot of homers. We said this about Churio two. Uh,
33:16
Speaker 2: the hits and the slugging has still been there.
33:18
Speaker 1: So Vaughan can have an eight homer month very quickly.
33:21
Speaker 1: Out about that, yep, And if it happens, it'll be great.
33:24
Speaker 3: But Drew right now, he's a Jav baseball coaches dream.
33:27
Speaker 3: Don't be popping the ball up to get double. That's
33:31
Speaker 3: how we play.
33:32
Speaker 1: Split that ball in a half on this launch angle.
33:35
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any of that. I go
33:37
Speaker 1: back Doug Melvin always say, you know, home runs are great.
33:39
Speaker 1: I really like doubles. Doubles keep rallies going almost put
33:42
Speaker 1: guys on base and make traffic and put pressure on pitchers.
33:44
Speaker 2: Well Overbaber signified that he did at all the time,
33:47
Speaker 2: fifty doubles or a doubles team.
33:49
Speaker 1: That's in Ned Josel, let's get something. So yeah, the
33:52
Speaker 1: Brewers are rolling. I mean, look at this, Look at
33:54
Speaker 1: the record forty one and twenty three, fastest ever to
33:58
Speaker 1: forty wins. It just happened like we woke up and
34:01
Speaker 1: it happened a few weeks. In a few weeks, like,
34:03
Speaker 1: but it's a lot of it is because of the
34:04
Speaker 1: way that well, the way they pitch and the way
34:06
Speaker 1: they run the bait. The little things add up for
34:09
Speaker 1: the little things end up being big and then he's
34:11
Speaker 1: gonna win. Just don't take it for granted. Like Yellow
34:13
Speaker 1: scoring on that play with a great jump, the way
34:16
Speaker 1: he runs the bass. The best base runner on the team.
34:18
Speaker 1: I think he's not the fastest guy, but I think
34:20
Speaker 1: he's the best base.
34:20
Speaker 3: Runner by far. And uh, somebody finally scored in the
34:23
Speaker 3: contact play.
34:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one.
34:26
Speaker 3: That's one of those where I don't know that it
34:28
Speaker 3: actually ever works unless Christian Yelich is run on the
34:30
Speaker 3: basic he's able to get that kind of slided and
34:32
Speaker 3: then it works.
34:32
Speaker 1: Given given the uh, all the analytics and the guys
34:35
Speaker 1: with the slide rules, uh, and the calculators and stuff,
34:38
Speaker 1: and the Excel spreadsheets. I think it's still mathematically is
34:41
Speaker 1: favorable because teams still do it.
34:43
Speaker 3: Otherwise they would have every time drew it would have
34:45
Speaker 3: pulled the plug on it.
34:46
Speaker 1: So I think it's still I think it still works
34:49
Speaker 1: more than you think, but you just notice it more
34:50
Speaker 1: when it doesn't work.
34:51
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's like when a brut Well, let's
34:54
Speaker 3: be honest, it's gonna be like a Kyle Harrison blip
34:56
Speaker 3: on the radar and Aaron Ashby. You're gonna remember this
34:58
Speaker 3: one even more more than however many shutout performances he
35:02
Speaker 3: had over six innings, because it's just the outliers you
35:04
Speaker 3: remember more, no doubt.
35:05
Speaker 1: All Right, we're off and running. It's a buy our
35:07
Speaker 1: cell Tuesday. We'll be doing some of that. Oh, there's
35:09
Speaker 1: a lot of fodder for this. Oh my goodness. Billy's
35:12
Speaker 1: got some stories from the golf outing where butchy we're
35:15
Speaker 1: for Children's Wisconsin. It's a great time. Fantastic shout out
35:18
Speaker 1: to otto mind raising some cash for a great cause.
35:22
Speaker 1: We're gonna still talk about the NBA. Where is that series? Now?
35:26
Speaker 1: There's some conspiracy theories that you know, based on the
35:30
Speaker 1: free throw numbers and then late and Mike Brown wasn't happy.
35:33
Speaker 1: You suld have played better. Yeah, and that's the thing, like, Okay,
35:37
Speaker 1: well now they're gonna have a longer series and Wemby
35:39
Speaker 1: can still be the face of the league for a while.
35:41
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll talk about that. We'll get into the
35:42
Speaker 1: weeds on that inventory as well. We're glad you're hanging
35:45
Speaker 1: out with us. It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
35:54
Speaker 1: We're huddled up on a Tuesday. Club's going up on
35:57
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. How about that? They used to play that
35:59
Speaker 1: song all the time in the Bruce Clubhouse after Tuesday night.
36:02
Speaker 2: God, it's just a repeat. This song makes you feel good.
36:04
Speaker 2: I don't care who you are it was.
36:06
Speaker 3: That was the morning practice at Carroll University, Harvard of
36:11
Speaker 3: Wakshaw County. We would just play club Going Up on
36:15
Speaker 3: a Tuesday at five am, because you had to get
36:16
Speaker 3: something to get you onto the practice field. Drew by
36:19
Speaker 3: five forty five. We wore that Son of a Gun out.
36:22
Speaker 3: We listened to a lot of Drake in that locker room,
36:25
Speaker 3: a lot of Drake in college, none more I think
36:27
Speaker 3: than that song because it always did fire you up
36:30
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday, just gives you that little bit of
36:32
Speaker 3: a boost. And knowing that you're probably taking a Pilo
36:34
Speaker 3: day after that and probably not going to your class,
36:36
Speaker 3: it made it even for sure.
36:37
Speaker 1: Taking your thoughts on the Bruce fifteen to fourteen victory?
36:40
Speaker 1: Was it a debacle? Was it awesome?
36:42
Speaker 3: Most people who are listening to us right now weren't
36:44
Speaker 3: awake for the end. They'll check in during the seven
36:47
Speaker 3: o'clock hour. Yeah, that's when the stragglers will be up.
36:50
Speaker 3: But I did happen to see the end of the game,
36:51
Speaker 3: which was I don't know that I'll do. I'll repeat
36:54
Speaker 3: that tonight. But I just was having her.
36:57
Speaker 1: Well, if you can time that out pretty well, that's
36:58
Speaker 1: not bad. Haven't Yeah have an issue sleeping last night?
37:01
Speaker 1: I might be in bed by four o'clock this half.
37:03
Speaker 3: Dude, I was tossing and turning and sowlating like no other.
37:06
Speaker 1: It was hot, rough. It is a different beasts the summertime.
37:10
Speaker 1: Might have to do the uh might have to do
37:12
Speaker 1: the Donovan jargon scen air conditioning. It's gonna be muggy again.
37:17
Speaker 1: You're right, they are the heroes this week, that is sure.
37:20
Speaker 1: And yeah, man, that's the number one thing. Maybe I
37:22
Speaker 1: need one of those, like sleep regulated temperature regulated mattresses,
37:26
Speaker 1: like a wave mattresses get you keep your body down
37:29
Speaker 1: in the sixties. Now, I heard this might sound anethetical,
37:31
Speaker 1: but on a hot night, before you go to bed,
37:34
Speaker 1: take a hot shower or a hot bath. What it
37:37
Speaker 1: makes your skin? It makes your skin like red, and
37:40
Speaker 1: it creates all that heat and your the vascellary system
37:43
Speaker 1: and the vessels and stuff. And then when you get out,
37:46
Speaker 1: you start immediately start to cool and your body temperature
37:48
Speaker 1: starts dropping, so that when you hit the rack, your
37:51
Speaker 1: body temperatures dropping. And that's a thing that's assigned to
37:54
Speaker 1: help you go to sleep. Beautiful genius. I just saw
37:58
Speaker 1: on TikTok at three in the morning.
38:00
Speaker 2: I saw on TikTok that's reverse thinking, reverse thinking on
38:03
Speaker 2: TikTok at three in the morning.
38:04
Speaker 1: Well it was a sleep scientist saying, you know, to
38:06
Speaker 1: take a warm bath. And the guy was saying, like,
38:09
Speaker 1: you know, he was saying, that's pretty decent. He also
38:13
Speaker 1: he also advocated sleeping with like socks or gloves on,
38:16
Speaker 1: like to keep your I don't know what I want
38:18
Speaker 1: to be cool.
38:19
Speaker 3: I want to be cool he's out for that one
38:22
Speaker 3: I have, well, I will, I will side with him.
38:25
Speaker 1: I have done the sock sleeping every once in a while,
38:28
Speaker 1: I do. I can go.
38:30
Speaker 3: I'm going phases because one I got a big, ugly feet.
38:33
Speaker 3: It's not a bad thing to cover these things up
38:35
Speaker 3: at any any point, only when.
38:37
Speaker 1: Your feet are your heels are cracking and dry, and
38:39
Speaker 1: you slather them up with vasoline and then put the
38:41
Speaker 1: socks on to avoid getting you vasily Masoline socks always
38:44
Speaker 1: available by the nightstand. Is that what the anyway?
38:47
Speaker 2: Oh well, no, I'm just saying is that I don't
38:50
Speaker 2: have those things hanging.
38:51
Speaker 1: Around arm and buying stock and a lubrad.
38:54
Speaker 3: One weekend in Miami, and this guy's got all the tricks.
38:59
Speaker 2: But my you his uh, I was right there. It's
39:01
Speaker 2: still safe harbor friends hill there. My issue is my
39:04
Speaker 2: feet are usually cold, but then obviously not in the
39:06
Speaker 2: summer where we get so they might try the warm bath.
39:08
Speaker 1: I saw this thing. I saw this article at sororities
39:10
Speaker 1: do the cold sleeping porch. Don't give people. No, I'm
39:14
Speaker 1: just saying I read this article about this.
39:16
Speaker 2: The sororities have a big room with bunk beds that
39:19
Speaker 2: they're kept at like sixty one degrees or sixty degrees
39:22
Speaker 2: where they all sleep down.
39:23
Speaker 1: There's super dark, super super cold. That's what they all are.
39:26
Speaker 1: You sure this isn't like a pledge thing. I thought
39:29
Speaker 1: it was at first, but I guess they're they were
39:31
Speaker 1: dungeon basket.
39:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't sound like the sorority conversation.
39:39
Speaker 1: I think you're believing it might be, Mabe.
39:41
Speaker 2: I don't know what you thought I was. I'm saying
39:43
Speaker 2: this was a it's a thing with sorority.
39:44
Speaker 1: I don't know.
39:44
Speaker 2: I've never was in Greek life, and apparently this is
39:46
Speaker 2: a thing where it's like an app room in college
39:48
Speaker 2: athletics store.
39:51
Speaker 1: Facility where they're kept super cold. Aj Hawky used to
39:55
Speaker 1: have the hyper eric chamber, and I don't know if
39:57
Speaker 1: that makes you because it's like the oxygenated thing.
39:59
Speaker 3: But I don't know if Farman loves the hyper bearer chamber.
40:02
Speaker 3: He is a big fan of people sleeping in the
40:04
Speaker 3: hyperbar That.
40:06
Speaker 1: Means have the room should be in the sixties when
40:08
Speaker 1: you're sleeping. He used to always get into it with
40:10
Speaker 1: a raccoon. Oh I think I remember that.
40:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber you see he's he's
40:17
Speaker 3: trying hard, he's trying to he's trying to get healthy.
40:19
Speaker 1: You're trying to figure it out.
40:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, was it Lebron? Was it about Lebron? Because I
40:23
Speaker 3: think it was about anybody that we talked about. There
40:25
Speaker 3: were a couple of packer players that had it in
40:27
Speaker 3: there too, but they're listen. There there's a number of
40:29
Speaker 3: different things that people do to try to give themselves
40:31
Speaker 3: a competitive edge. I'm gonna try to get a competitive edge.
40:34
Speaker 3: Don't get a little bit more sleep tonight. I might
40:36
Speaker 3: try the hot bath.
40:37
Speaker 1: Man. I don't know that I've taken a bath either
40:42
Speaker 1: need a hot tub or something close to a decade.
40:44
Speaker 2: I'm not taking up bath. I'm not taking a bath.
40:46
Speaker 1: I don't like why not? Don't you just said if
40:49
Speaker 1: you don't help me sleep a little better? All right?
40:52
Speaker 3: Come on now?
40:52
Speaker 1: All right?
40:53
Speaker 2: Fine, Maybe I'll try to grab some les toys and.
40:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I got this little pus you can throw
40:59
Speaker 1: the rings on. That looks a fun time to do it.

41:03
Speaker 1: just need some toys. Yeah, alright, eight seven seven seven
