0:01
Speaker 1: A lot of people are off on Monday celebrations.
0:05
Speaker 2: Is let me ask you, this is is Memorial Day weekend.
0:09
Speaker 2: Are you locked into traditions because I don't have anything
0:12
Speaker 2: that I do every year, but it floats. Somebody in
0:13
Speaker 2: the family has some kind of cookout. This my nephew
0:17
Speaker 2: stepped up and it's going to have a little lot
0:18
Speaker 2: gathering on Monday.
0:21
Speaker 1: And I was also invited to want at a cousin's place.
0:23
Speaker 1: But there's nothing like fixed.
0:25
Speaker 2: I mean, when I used to live in Stately Olsen
0:28
Speaker 2: Manor West, my local community had a giant parade every
0:33
Speaker 2: everyday and it was, uh, it became it was the
0:37
Speaker 2: kickoff to summer, and it became like the feel was
0:41
Speaker 2: of like a tailgate vibe because my neighbors would set
0:45
Speaker 2: up their you know, their their tents and their lawn
0:48
Speaker 2: chairs and stuff and start making bloodies. It was a
0:51
Speaker 2: block party, but it was like morning and it was
0:53
Speaker 2: like there was a lot of alcohol involved. And then
0:56
Speaker 2: the parade would go through the main the main street,
0:59
Speaker 2: and then everybody would a lot of people would go
1:00
Speaker 2: to the local watering hole that's right on the parade roofs. Yeah,
1:04
Speaker 2: it was a full day of it really got started.
1:07
Speaker 3: That's crazy. The bar and the world d weekend. I
1:10
Speaker 3: didn't think, well, that's chocking.
1:11
Speaker 4: It's a good one to have, not this joke, nothing
1:15
Speaker 4: nothing locked in drew.
1:17
Speaker 2: This kind of floats. But it's there for you, whether
1:19
Speaker 2: you're you're grilling at home, it is. I mean, you
1:21
Speaker 2: don't want to be at a store today or tomorrow
1:23
Speaker 2: because like people make it a run on Brotz.
1:25
Speaker 4: And no and and maybe that or maybe the worst
1:29
Speaker 4: place that you could be is in one of the
1:31
Speaker 4: spots that I got to go in the line for
1:33
Speaker 4: an oil change because uh, I can imagine the crews
1:36
Speaker 4: getting in and out of town coming up this weekend.
1:39
Speaker 4: There's good camp bad we get to be a campsite
1:43
Speaker 4: because there will be a lot of a lot of
1:44
Speaker 4: bonfires and a lot of folks hitting uh hitting the
1:47
Speaker 4: freeway quickly today. But it is uh in Monday's my
1:50
Speaker 4: uh my anniversary.
1:52
Speaker 1: That was Billy's.
1:52
Speaker 3: Tradition that he's came up.
1:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so getting getting married on Memorial Day weekend
1:58
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago.
2:00
Speaker 1: That was also the built in.
2:02
Speaker 4: I know, I shouldn't be able to forget it right,
2:04
Speaker 4: like I should be pretty locked in on knowing when
2:08
Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, so whether it's on Saturday, whether it's
2:11
Speaker 4: on Sunday, whether it's on Monday, like it is this year,
2:15
Speaker 4: I got a good barometer and a good heads up
2:17
Speaker 4: of hey, watch out, stupid, it's coming.
2:19
Speaker 3: Well. I loved it because I was kind of hoping
2:22
Speaker 3: when Billy had his wedding that that was going to
2:24
Speaker 3: become a tradition. Not not for you to get married
2:27
Speaker 3: every year. I mean that one time, but that would great. Well, no,
2:32
Speaker 3: I don't want that. It's funny, but you know, Billy,
2:35
Speaker 3: we were in you know, Vegas for Billy's wedding, So
2:38
Speaker 3: I was kind of hoping that would become the tradition
2:40
Speaker 3: in Moral Day weekend. It's like, oh, I'll just go
2:41
Speaker 3: to Vegas every more Moral Day weekend. Unfortunately it hasn't
2:44
Speaker 3: worked out like that, so that hasn't been the tradition.
2:46
Speaker 1: So you I like it. You did what my sister
2:51
Speaker 1: and brother in law did.
2:52
Speaker 4: They have now gone to Vegas Memorial Day weekend each
2:55
Speaker 4: of the last two years since the wedding, and again
2:58
Speaker 4: this year. So now it's there their chance to go
3:01
Speaker 4: and celebrate us is going to Vegas for three days.
3:03
Speaker 3: I didn't you know, making a tradition. But that would
3:05
Speaker 3: have so I'm glad they're doing it. That would have
3:06
Speaker 3: been nice. I didn't I don't have one anymore. I
3:08
Speaker 3: did have one going for a while with a good
3:12
Speaker 3: group of my friends from my college days, and we
3:14
Speaker 3: were going to my friend's dad's cabin, you know, doing
3:19
Speaker 3: the whole thing there, the cabin thing. That was one
3:20
Speaker 3: of our best weekends, our best memories. And I looked
3:24
Speaker 3: forward to that, you know, in my twenties and young
3:26
Speaker 3: you know, probably more than anything. It was such a
3:28
Speaker 3: great time. There's nothing like getting together with your closest people,
3:32
Speaker 3: your closest friends, sort of in the middle of the
3:34
Speaker 3: woods and middle of nowhere and up north and all
3:37
Speaker 3: that stuff, and it was it was memories for a lifetime.
3:39
Speaker 3: But sadly we don't do that one anymore. That was
3:41
Speaker 3: kind of that kind of you know, disintegrated after the years.
3:45
Speaker 3: So I don't really have one. Hopefully start some new ones.
3:47
Speaker 3: They're gonna see some family this weekend. But if you
3:50
Speaker 3: do have that tradition, I love it because there's nothing
3:53
Speaker 3: like looking forward to something as a mainstay every year
3:55
Speaker 3: to kick the summer off. I always think that's like
3:58
Speaker 3: a great thing, great way to start it up up.
4:00
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people, it's probably the lake
4:02
Speaker 3: house or the up north cabin or something. A lot
4:04
Speaker 3: of people do that. They spend their time outdoors. And
4:07
Speaker 3: the weather's a little dicey because it's a little chili
4:09
Speaker 3: today and tomorrow, but it should get better.
4:13
Speaker 4: On Sunday, and Monday is gonna be h It's gonna
4:16
Speaker 4: be phenomenal. The Brewers game is always a good one, right,
4:20
Speaker 4: Like the Brewers Game. If on a Monday at home,
4:23
Speaker 4: folks will will make that a locked in tradition that
4:25
Speaker 4: we're definitely going. But one of my favorite traditions of
4:30
Speaker 4: Memorial Day weekend Drew is right around seven or eight
4:32
Speaker 4: in the morning, getting a text from either my dad
4:36
Speaker 4: or back when I was younger, it would be like
4:38
Speaker 4: my dad getting a call from one of my uncles
4:40
Speaker 4: saying like, hey, so, who's having people over today? Right,
4:44
Speaker 4: Like somebody's doing something right. We're all not just gonna
4:48
Speaker 4: sit at home. We're all wait and make sure that
4:50
Speaker 4: it's gonna be nice. I remember a couple of times
4:52
Speaker 4: cousin George stepped up quickly and he would be throwing
4:55
Speaker 4: a good banger. Wait, right out of the right out
4:57
Speaker 4: of the gates. You knew that he was having a
4:59
Speaker 4: good party. I got over there and he said yeah,
5:02
Speaker 4: riding the motorcycle around.
5:03
Speaker 3: I was like, I better have people over here today.
5:06
Speaker 4: I better have people over There's going to be a
5:08
Speaker 4: good community moment where somebody just says, I need to
5:11
Speaker 4: be around friends.
5:12
Speaker 3: I need to be around family.
5:13
Speaker 4: More importantly, I need to grab a lining cools from
5:15
Speaker 4: the cooler and crack that son of a gun open.
5:18
Speaker 4: I need to get a drift seltzer and this summer off, right,
5:21
Speaker 4: I need to go in here and I don't know,
5:23
Speaker 4: maybe shotguna miller high life.
5:24
Speaker 3: There we go.
5:25
Speaker 4: There's a lot of good ways that you can kick
5:26
Speaker 4: off the summer, but a phenomenal Memorial Day weekend is
5:30
Speaker 4: by far the best one. There's not going to be
5:32
Speaker 4: a better one. Right like that toasts three days and
5:35
Speaker 4: it get hot. That's a that's a winner, Especially into
5:38
Speaker 4: Freedom two fifty year. This is especially year to celebrate
5:41
Speaker 4: America in our two hundred and fiftieth birthday. So let's
5:43
Speaker 4: start out that celebration of the summer very very right.
5:46
Speaker 3: Coming up this weekend, right, let's make it right. This
5:48
Speaker 3: is a make anniversary. So I like it all right?
5:51
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven, nine, seven to three, get you
5:54
Speaker 2: in Brewers Dodgers kicking off a weekend series this evening
5:58
Speaker 2: at American Family Field.
5:59
Speaker 4: Boy Night, I had, I had, somebody asked me this weekend, Uh,
6:03
Speaker 4: so the Bird's gonna get back get the uh get
6:05
Speaker 4: the Dodgers back for last year? No, no one's actually
6:08
Speaker 4: thinking that that can possibly happen, right, energy like.
6:12
Speaker 3: That, Billy, I don't are people really thinking that?
6:15
Speaker 2: Puncher pointed out on the show yesterday that just like
6:17
Speaker 2: in the playoffs last year, the Berson are going from
6:18
Speaker 2: the Cubs to the Dodgers.
6:20
Speaker 3: Yeah.
6:20
Speaker 4: I love that part of it, right, Like there's some
6:23
Speaker 4: nice symbiotic relationship there. But I don't know that I'm
6:28
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be able to even if you would walk
6:30
Speaker 4: in in nineteen to five sweep the Dodgers like you
6:33
Speaker 4: just did the Cubs.
6:34
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's gonna.
6:36
Speaker 4: Really take this thing away from Game four and watching
6:38
Speaker 4: Otani hit three bombs, I don't know that that fully
6:41
Speaker 4: can get taken away, right, But I will say it's
6:46
Speaker 4: always always fun to be able to see how you
6:49
Speaker 4: play against that that All Star team of the Dodgers.
6:51
Speaker 3: Wat it is good as a measuring stick, and it's
6:53
Speaker 3: good in general. They at wins. I mean during May
6:55
Speaker 3: you need wins, you know, just stack up as much
6:57
Speaker 3: as you can. That really part of the season. But
6:59
Speaker 3: I will be honest with you. If I was gonna
7:02
Speaker 3: tell you I honestly thought it meant something for four
7:05
Speaker 3: months from now, I'd be lying, because clearly it doesn't.
7:07
Speaker 3: I mean, the Dodgers showed us last year they could
7:10
Speaker 3: coach for six months, even not even get a bye
7:13
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and still dominate the playoffs. Well until
7:17
Speaker 3: the World Series they won. They didn't dominate it. They
7:18
Speaker 3: were a hair from losing, but they were able to
7:20
Speaker 3: walk Waltz right through. And even though the Brewers had
7:23
Speaker 3: done with many fans had wanted them to do the
7:25
Speaker 3: last couple of years before that, which was, you know,
7:29
Speaker 3: show during the regular season quote unquote, they could compete
7:31
Speaker 3: with those teams, and yeah, we dominated the Dodgers, but
7:34
Speaker 3: it didn't really mean much come October. Unfortunately, like the
7:38
Speaker 3: Dodgers had their best players ready to go in October.
7:41
Speaker 3: They had an incredible level of talent and the rotation
7:45
Speaker 3: and the plate and that talent showed up. I mean,
7:47
Speaker 3: the Brewers did have a couple of close calls in that,
7:49
Speaker 3: but that's just the way it was.
7:50
Speaker 1: I'd like to do it, though.
7:52
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean I don't want to still sit here
7:53
Speaker 3: and walk in here and win some games this weekend.
7:56
Speaker 3: I just to sit there and think, Oh, this is
7:59
Speaker 3: gonna really show us that were good enough to beat
8:01
Speaker 3: them come October. Well I think that's true anyway, but
8:05
Speaker 3: I don't know that means that we're going to let's
8:06
Speaker 3: just put it that way.
8:07
Speaker 2: Six game homestand Dodgers Cardinals. By the time we convene
8:12
Speaker 2: the hot Dog game, my Memorial Day will be in
8:14
Speaker 2: the books. And four games into the homestand what's the
8:18
Speaker 2: Brews record going to be in these next six games?
8:22
Speaker 1: Three and three is your baseline.
8:23
Speaker 4: So yeah, in in three and three home trip homestands
8:28
Speaker 4: not exactly what you're looking for. However, coming off of
8:32
Speaker 4: the heels of a five to one road trip, you
8:34
Speaker 4: can you can stomach it a little bit more. I
8:37
Speaker 4: would go three and three and Drew. I I don't
8:40
Speaker 4: want to be the h be the armonizer in here,
8:42
Speaker 4: because we're gonna let him step into the conversation quickly.
8:45
Speaker 4: As long as neither is three to zero, I'll be
8:49
Speaker 4: very okay. Good point, Like, even though I know I
8:52
Speaker 4: know the Brewers could, I would like them to be
8:55
Speaker 4: able to uh kick the Cardinals back down to Earth
8:58
Speaker 4: if that means that you get swept by in that
9:01
Speaker 4: social capital that you just won. With some of the
9:04
Speaker 4: casuals rolling into the summer of fun and entertainment, we
9:08
Speaker 4: are gonna have a good summer of fun and entertainment.
9:10
Speaker 1: Let's remember that.
9:11
Speaker 3: Now.
9:12
Speaker 4: This is gonna be a good summer of fun and entertainment,
9:14
Speaker 4: but it starts with at least getting one against the
9:16
Speaker 4: Dodgers and somebody being able to watch Otani look at
9:19
Speaker 4: least hopefully a little bit mortal in the box.
9:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. And we went four and two,
9:22
Speaker 3: I'd be ecstatic with it. And it's like, you can't
9:25
Speaker 3: really expect to win every game. And I understand that
9:27
Speaker 3: even if the Brewers are three and three, Look, you
9:30
Speaker 3: should lose the Dodgers series for all objective reasons. We'd
9:34
Speaker 3: like to come in and win. Up. We believe in
9:35
Speaker 3: our team. We know they can win this series, but
9:38
Speaker 3: Dodgers are probably better. You know, you don't have your
9:40
Speaker 3: best pictures going, Miz and Harrison, all these guys already pitched,
9:43
Speaker 3: so it's pretty likely the Dodgers should win a two
9:46
Speaker 3: out of three minimum. So you lose that series, you
9:49
Speaker 3: win the Cardinal Series. Got to be happy with that.
9:51
Speaker 3: You know. The reality is losses will come. These things
9:54
Speaker 3: will happen throughout the course of a season. So I'd
9:57
Speaker 3: be very happy with four and two, And if they
9:59
Speaker 3: go three and three, that's fine and you move on,
10:00
Speaker 3: you know, you move on with it. I think there's
10:03
Speaker 3: there's a daily intensity from Brewers fans, which is a
10:05
Speaker 3: good thing that they want to win every game. We
10:07
Speaker 3: have that every game is liver or die. But this
10:09
Speaker 3: is a long season. The Dodgers are good team. We're
10:12
Speaker 3: gonna have got you know, We're not. Everything's always gonna
10:14
Speaker 3: go our way. It has been the last couple of weeks,
10:16
Speaker 3: which is fantastic. We're back in first place. But I
10:19
Speaker 3: think three and three is the baseline is fair and
10:21
Speaker 3: you get you go to four and two, you're you're
10:23
Speaker 3: really happy with that, especially if you know, let's say
10:26
Speaker 3: you lose two on three to the Dodgers and you
10:27
Speaker 3: come back and win that Cardinals series. Because the Cardinals
10:29
Speaker 3: that played very well themselves. I think they're kind of
10:31
Speaker 3: a paper tiger. They'll fall back down to earth, but
10:33
Speaker 3: right now they have it.
10:34
Speaker 2: So the Cardinals remind me when the Brewers were just
10:37
Speaker 2: kind of like upstarts before they started this run of
10:39
Speaker 2: like winning the division, back when the Pouhols Molina Cardinals, LaRussa,
10:44
Speaker 2: those guys were kicking sand in the Bruiz faces for
10:46
Speaker 2: a lot. Uh the brus we'd get to like the
10:48
Speaker 2: first half, and the Bruis will be right with them,
10:50
Speaker 2: neck and neck, and my buddies that cover the Cardinals closely,
10:54
Speaker 2: Rick Hummel, Jostrauss and Bernie Michliss, they'd all be like, yeah,
10:58
Speaker 2: you got a nice club over there, but I don't
10:59
Speaker 2: think you the horses to go all the through September,
11:02
Speaker 2: and they were generally right. The Brewers weren't ready for
11:04
Speaker 2: prime time. And that's the way I feel watching the
11:06
Speaker 2: Cardinals right now. It's like they're young and it's exciting,
11:09
Speaker 2: but they're on the Their window is there's trying to
11:12
Speaker 2: trying to push it open. It's like painted shut and
11:14
Speaker 2: they're trying to open it's been painted shut by incompetence
11:17
Speaker 2: and this.
11:19
Speaker 1: Which is wil Country or for that organization. But yeah,
11:22
Speaker 1: healing empty seats.
11:23
Speaker 2: So what you did in recent years at Bush stadiums,
11:25
Speaker 2: like seeing empty seats at Lambam Shock.
11:27
Speaker 3: It's like it's like they're the like the plucky rebuilder
11:30
Speaker 3: now trying.
11:30
Speaker 1: To well that's just it.
11:31
Speaker 2: But but what those guys told me about the Brewers
11:34
Speaker 2: back then and they end up being right, is like yeah,
11:36
Speaker 2: big picture, like yeah, you're it's a nice story now,
11:39
Speaker 2: but you know, ask me in late August. Yeah, and
11:42
Speaker 2: they were generally right about that. And that's the way
11:43
Speaker 2: I feel about the Cardinals because the Pirates and Reds
11:46
Speaker 2: have kind of already settled back to their starting to
11:48
Speaker 2: settle back to their level.
11:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're slowly, uh waters starting to find its level.
11:52
Speaker 4: And I think Saint Louis made some some shrewd moves
11:55
Speaker 4: in the off season, made a couple of nice ones
11:57
Speaker 4: and maybe you know, keeping the Manager might have been
12:00
Speaker 4: and one of the best ones. You get a little
12:01
Speaker 4: bit of continuity with it. But yeah, there were Drue,
12:04
Speaker 4: that's a good point. There were a lot of six
12:06
Speaker 4: seven years where the Brews had the best start in
12:08
Speaker 4: franchise history, right, Yeah, there were a lot of those
12:10
Speaker 4: best starting franchise history years where then for after two
12:13
Speaker 4: months you start realizing why the one hundred and sixty
12:17
Speaker 4: two is what it is, and I think Saint Louis
12:19
Speaker 4: is in that realm. But you get these wins now,
12:21
Speaker 4: and you get your horses against guys uh in teams
12:25
Speaker 4: in your division. Would I like to see Mizerowski and
12:27
Speaker 4: Harrison pitching against the Dodgers, I mean maybe, but if
12:31
Speaker 4: it was if at the cost of them not pitching
12:33
Speaker 4: against the Cubs, I would not have taken that.
12:36
Speaker 3: Taken that bet.
12:36
Speaker 1: Yeah me either.
12:38
Speaker 2: Those are the much more, both of them, much more.
12:40
Speaker 2: Run them up and play them as they come. That's
12:42
Speaker 2: the only way to do it. Now, speaking of your
12:45
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers again, I was at the Christian Yelich Things.
12:47
Speaker 1: Saw almost the whole team there last night. Didn't see Murph,
12:50
Speaker 1: but I saw a lot of other dudes.
12:53
Speaker 2: Having a good time. They're feeling good about themselves. Yeah,
12:56
Speaker 2: probably making pancakes. But there was a x uh you
13:00
Speaker 2: know the news the little rail down the side. Two
13:03
Speaker 2: items variations on the same theme from last evening. Brewers
13:08
Speaker 2: fans way trading top prospect for guaranteed title and then
13:12
Speaker 2: the other headline, Brewers fans debate trading top prospect Jesus
13:15
Speaker 2: mo Day for guaranteed World Series. Someone put it into
13:18
Speaker 2: the ether a question, would you trade hats mod Hazus
13:21
Speaker 2: Mayday if the return resultant in a Brewers World Series
13:23
Speaker 2: crown in twenty twenty six? Now my least favorite extrasponse
13:26
Speaker 2: because we've been putting up polls and doing.
13:28
Speaker 1: Stuff for years trying to get engagement. How is this
13:30
Speaker 1: even a question?
13:31
Speaker 3: Right?
13:31
Speaker 2: It is a question. Yeah, but this is a particularly
13:35
Speaker 2: dumb question.
13:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay to talk about that, because what do
13:39
Speaker 1: you even talk about, like, would you trade hat?
13:41
Speaker 2: So we're gonna trade Haesus Moday and then apparently whatever
13:43
Speaker 2: you get back leads to a championship. You've won the trade.
13:46
Speaker 2: That's the objects so sweet, sign us up. Like, and
13:49
Speaker 2: nobody here has bonded with Hazus Madi. He's an idea.
13:52
Speaker 2: He's like a figment of your imagination. Right now, and
13:56
Speaker 2: not for nothing, the Brewers signed another young middle infielder
13:59
Speaker 2: to a long term deal that they obviously have their
14:01
Speaker 2: eyes on as well. Now I think Hazus Mo Day
14:03
Speaker 2: is in the plants because I think eventually the Brewers
14:05
Speaker 2: won't be able to afford Bryce to Rang. When trade
14:07
Speaker 2: Bryce Rang, get a bunch of stuff back? And would
14:09
Speaker 2: you trade Bryce ter Rang if it meant bringing the title? Yes, yes,
14:12
Speaker 2: would I trade Jackson Turio if it meant bringing to anybody?
14:15
Speaker 2: Wouldn't I trade my left one for a title?
14:17
Speaker 4: I think about it like I like if it's a
14:18
Speaker 4: guaranteed titles especially makes it the part of the dumbest
14:22
Speaker 4: part of the question.
14:23
Speaker 2: Yes, I think a lot of you will for a
14:24
Speaker 2: guaranteed title. You would trade Hazus Mayday and then hope
14:27
Speaker 2: he goes and makes the Hall of Fame and gets
14:28
Speaker 2: four thousand, five hundred hits and is the best player
14:31
Speaker 2: of all time.
14:31
Speaker 1: But that's okay, we won a title. I agree, would
14:33
Speaker 1: make that trade.
14:34
Speaker 3: I agree a though there would still be some fans
14:36
Speaker 3: bitching about that.
14:37
Speaker 1: There are fans bitching about it on the on the
14:39
Speaker 1: the next year.
14:40
Speaker 3: If you didn't applying to look, you just sold your thing,
14:42
Speaker 3: And now what we're gonna do.
14:43
Speaker 1: We just gave it all for one year, but no
14:45
Speaker 1: one said, are you kidding? Give me a world series
14:48
Speaker 1: and we can be the Marlins for the next twenty years.
14:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see that's the question is like how much
14:52
Speaker 3: futility would you be going through because that energy, I
14:55
Speaker 3: think is a little bit disingenuous from fans. We saw
14:59
Speaker 3: it with the Bucks and they finally won, and they're
15:00
Speaker 3: back to complain the next couple of years when we
15:02
Speaker 3: lost them first, no doubt because the Bucks, clearly, if
15:05
Speaker 3: you want to do one of these hypotheticals, that's what
15:07
Speaker 3: happened to the Bucks. We got our magical run, we
15:09
Speaker 3: won the title, but then nothing went well for us
15:12
Speaker 3: the next four or five years. And have we been
15:14
Speaker 3: happy about it?
15:14
Speaker 1: Clearly not.
15:15
Speaker 3: So would be able to sit back and say everything
15:18
Speaker 3: is fine. We won one, so nothing's gonna bother me.
15:21
Speaker 3: They were back to complaining in two weeks about the PJ.
15:23
Speaker 3: Tucker deal. So I'll at least say that, all right,
15:26
Speaker 3: I'll at least say that is there's a little bit
15:28
Speaker 3: of you know, people lining themselves a bit. I totally agree.
15:31
Speaker 3: I would trade Madi for a title because that's the
15:33
Speaker 3: whole point of what you're trying to do here, is when.
15:35
Speaker 2: World seriers have only been to one World series in
15:38
Speaker 2: franchise history. Yeah, you would even take you know, if
15:41
Speaker 2: you could even make it to the World series and
15:42
Speaker 2: take your chances. But this was a guaranteed win. If
15:45
Speaker 2: you would you trade head, just mind it. If it
15:47
Speaker 2: guaranteed a title, who wouldn't make that, Thank you very much.
15:50
Speaker 2: I'll figure out what I'll figure out what on earth
15:53
Speaker 2: I have to do in the middle infield going forward.
15:56
Speaker 4: The other part uh that that's one of my favorites
15:58
Speaker 4: in this is we do want to find a guarantee.
16:01
Speaker 4: We want to try to find a cheat code to
16:05
Speaker 4: the game, because a lot of us grew up with
16:07
Speaker 4: the book that had the cheat codes of the video game.
16:09
Speaker 4: You scroll it through and you find exactly how you're
16:11
Speaker 4: gonna do this thing, and the figment of the imagination
16:15
Speaker 4: drew best way I've heard prospects described. Because I think
16:19
Speaker 4: of it as a real commodity. It at no point
16:23
Speaker 4: do I actually think that I have a real stake
16:25
Speaker 4: in the iHeartMedia Company. But then when I sell that
16:28
Speaker 4: a little bit off, or when I buy a little
16:29
Speaker 4: bit of a share, all of a sudden you sit
16:31
Speaker 4: back and oh, I'm an owner. I'm an owner. I
16:35
Speaker 4: think you'll feel okay if you send something off that
16:37
Speaker 4: you actually never touched, anything that you actually never held
16:40
Speaker 4: in your hand, there's no no fungible token.
16:43
Speaker 1: It's an NFT.
16:45
Speaker 4: Dasers My day at this point is a real life
16:47
Speaker 4: NFT and I don't know what those actually were or
16:49
Speaker 4: if they are still around, but it's a figment of
16:52
Speaker 4: the imagination.
16:53
Speaker 3: I get why people do fear it because of the
16:55
Speaker 3: same reason Red Sox fans are now looking at Harrison
16:58
Speaker 3: like there's a reason to fear it. But you're right,
17:00
Speaker 3: we love to play these and look, this is just
17:02
Speaker 3: a little bit of rage, not rage bait, but engagement bait.
17:05
Speaker 3: And it worked. But there is something to the fact
17:07
Speaker 3: that these are fun hypotheticals, because it is You're right, Billy,
17:10
Speaker 3: what would we do for the guarantee? This is there's
17:12
Speaker 3: certain things I won't do that people claim that they'll
17:14
Speaker 3: do that there.
17:15
Speaker 2: This is you can say, it's a fun hypothetical to
17:17
Speaker 2: the question itself. Is it a great question if it
17:20
Speaker 2: spawns other questions that are well, that's more fun to
17:23
Speaker 2: debate than the actual question. My old friend John Audiis,
17:27
Speaker 2: you guys remember him. He would try He was trying
17:29
Speaker 2: to convince me a whole show once that what I
17:32
Speaker 2: exchanged three consecutive bucks titles for the Marquette basketball programs
17:37
Speaker 2: ceasing to exist.
17:39
Speaker 3: I said, no, I'm not doing that. He's like, well,
17:42
Speaker 3: why not you get three titles. I'm like them, what,
17:44
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna watch them? One of my favorite teams forever.
17:46
Speaker 3: So that's that is what we do in this.
17:48
Speaker 1: This is a fun little ext I'll give a pizza
17:50
Speaker 1: for life. But this is like the Hayeses mighty thing.
17:53
Speaker 2: At the risk of sounding like every comment that I hate,
17:55
Speaker 2: how is that even a question?
17:56
Speaker 1: Of course? You would you trade this one?
17:57
Speaker 3: Do it?
17:57
Speaker 4: Because that would mean inherently that you won the trade. Yes,
18:01
Speaker 4: you win the trade when you win, if you win
18:03
Speaker 4: the title.
18:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:04
Speaker 3: The only way I can think of it is like,
18:06
Speaker 3: was it worth having the greatness of Malitor and Yeut
18:10
Speaker 3: for fifteen years, two all time fan favorites, hall of famers,
18:13
Speaker 3: and never winning a title? And if those two never existed,
18:16
Speaker 3: but you still broke through and won one title, I'll
18:19
Speaker 3: be more fulfilled from the one title than having two
18:21
Speaker 3: great players, stalwarts of the team, stalwarts of the history
18:24
Speaker 3: be part of our team for fifteen years. That would
18:26
Speaker 3: be the only way I could see it. Like you,
18:29
Speaker 3: if you thought of my day as being a future
18:31
Speaker 3: Hall of famer that was going to be in your
18:33
Speaker 3: uniform for twenty years but never win a title. Is
18:36
Speaker 3: that somehow worth it over winning the title? Most fans
18:39
Speaker 3: would say, no, I will take the title too, but
18:41
Speaker 3: maybe I could finally see it in that one way.
18:44
Speaker 4: Other than that, I'm just being hyped. I'm just well,
18:47
Speaker 4: I appreciate you doing it. I appreciate you doing it
18:50
Speaker 4: because I don't know that I was I would have
18:51
Speaker 4: been able to do that math, right Like, I don't
18:53
Speaker 4: know that I'd be able to go all the way
18:54
Speaker 4: around it. Cause at the end of the conversation, there's
18:58
Speaker 4: still a Commissioner's trophy where there never had been well
19:01
Speaker 4: before it.
19:01
Speaker 1: Right Like, there's a there's a a feeling.
19:04
Speaker 4: And a status that otherwise has never been achieved. And frankly,
19:08
Speaker 4: I think there's a a real sub you know, grouping
19:12
Speaker 4: of the fan base. I think I found myself in
19:14
Speaker 4: there at certain defeatist times, especially uh sadly listening to
19:18
Speaker 4: you and Jeff Levering's sign off after the Mets season,
19:20
Speaker 4: after that series, when Pine Alonzo did that to us.
19:23
Speaker 4: As we're driving back from Steven's point.
19:26
Speaker 3: You're like, this is never gonna happen. This is never
19:31
Speaker 3: gonna happen.
19:32
Speaker 4: Or while I was sitting in a hotel in Illinois
19:34
Speaker 4: after the Bucks blew another fifteen point lead against the
19:38
Speaker 4: Toronto Raptors in that series, and You're just sitting there
19:40
Speaker 4: back like and never gonna happen. Why are why are
19:44
Speaker 4: we worried about this? Why do we waste our time
19:47
Speaker 4: with this? Why I need to hold myself accountable and
19:50
Speaker 4: start taking you go, you start doing some better stuff
19:52
Speaker 4: with my accountability. Instead, two years later it happened, So
19:56
Speaker 4: I definitely would trade him. I would also, uh for
20:00
Speaker 4: potentially you said I hope he makes Hiss had four
20:03
Speaker 4: thousand hits. I do think I might actually still end
20:06
Speaker 4: up with like an armand sorry. And at that point,
20:07
Speaker 4: would you want him to flame out and be Keston Hira?
20:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know your fairy Rodriguez. I did
20:13
Speaker 3: famously say I'm.
20:14
Speaker 4: Not eleven bombs right now. You know Ferry Rodriguez having
20:16
Speaker 4: himself a season well, and it made a lot of
20:18
Speaker 4: people mad, and I said, I'm cheering against him. After
20:21
Speaker 4: we trade, I want I want our trade to work out.
20:24
Speaker 4: And then I got some people real mad, and I
20:26
Speaker 4: had to think about that. But I think The theory
20:29
Speaker 4: was you want the best outcome of the trade for
20:31
Speaker 4: your situation. So like, yeah, Lewis Brinson, that's what makes
20:35
Speaker 4: the Elis trade so great is that none of those
20:38
Speaker 4: guys were any good.
20:39
Speaker 3: They know, San Diaz played more games I think in
20:41
Speaker 3: the KBO than he did. And I wasn't wishing like
20:44
Speaker 3: homelessness on those guys. I wanted them to like it wasn't.
20:48
Speaker 3: I didn't want them to make a living playing baseball.
20:50
Speaker 3: That's what people like looked at my reaction as, but
20:53
Speaker 3: you want you don't want to give up great players
20:55
Speaker 3: if you don't have to and miss on trades. I
20:57
Speaker 3: don't know a better way to look at it than yes,
20:59
Speaker 3: they're coming out of these they but they're humans, so
21:02
Speaker 3: it's a difficult thing. But this is the ultimate and
21:04
Speaker 3: we'll I'll leave with it.
21:05
Speaker 1: This is the ultimate. Doug Russell like he loves this because.
21:08
Speaker 3: The old Eli Manning debate Marino Eli Manning championships versus
21:13
Speaker 3: like would Giants fans rather have Eli Manning or Rogers
21:16
Speaker 3: all those years? I guarantee you that the two Super
21:19
Speaker 3: Bowls is more important to most of them, but they'd
21:21
Speaker 3: rather most Sundays say I wish Aaron Rodgers was my quarter.
21:24
Speaker 1: That's true.
21:25
Speaker 3: So it is kind of an interesting things. It's a
21:29
Speaker 3: fun thought experiment for a Friday.
21:30
Speaker 2: But it launches into more interesting questions because the made
21:33
Speaker 2: thing is like yeah, next, Yeah, For ninety nine percent
21:36
Speaker 2: of people, it's like, that's why you have prospects in
21:40
Speaker 2: farm system is to trade them to get pieces to
21:41
Speaker 2: help you win champions.
21:42
Speaker 3: That's the reason.
21:43
Speaker 1: So that's an easy I agree.
21:44
Speaker 2: It's as I've said for years, prospect comes from the Latin,
21:46
Speaker 2: which means hasn't done bleep yet.
21:48
Speaker 1: In the Major League. Never truer wordsman, So it's absolutely true.
21:54
Speaker 3: And how many times did we hold It.
21:55
Speaker 2: Actually actually comes from the word prospectus, which means to
21:58
Speaker 2: view or look out or cite. Oh okay, pro is
22:02
Speaker 2: meaning the prefixt means forward or future, and I'm not
22:07
Speaker 2: gonna be able to see the future, so prospect anyway.
22:09
Speaker 2: All right, we're getting bogged down. We've reached halftime of
22:12
Speaker 2: the final show of the week. Scott Dolphin took vacation
22:16
Speaker 2: like a smart human being, but we're gonna power through halftime.
22:18
Speaker 2: Next it's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Arman, Sorry
22:36
Speaker 2: and loving the excuse to play boy band music. Boy
22:38
Speaker 2: Band Night coming up the ballpark Brewers Dodgers six forty
22:42
Speaker 2: first pitch at American Family Field.
22:45
Speaker 3: It would be cool. I think it was a more
22:46
Speaker 3: catch all nineties night. I'd be more salty billy.
22:49
Speaker 4: But that's fair if you knew it was gonna be
22:50
Speaker 4: a lot of new kids on the bo We went.
22:52
Speaker 3: To Vanilla Ice Night a couple of years ago. That
22:54
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun. We're gonna be going Tuesday.
22:57
Speaker 3: I mean, it's okay. I've come on than that. You
23:00
Speaker 3: know what I mean? If they were having again on again,
23:04
Speaker 3: I think you ready.
23:05
Speaker 2: Sanchez uh A seven seven seven nine four one nine
23:08
Speaker 2: seventh three gets you to the Nicolay lot Com talk text line.
23:10
Speaker 2: This is usually the time when we talk to Scott Dolphin.
23:13
Speaker 2: He's not with us. You know who else isn't with
23:15
Speaker 2: us today? Hunter Bomgard. There's nothing to recap. So Hunter
23:18
Speaker 2: did not provide us a preview. But Hunter's his input
23:20
Speaker 2: on the show, brought to us by Import Minded your
23:23
Speaker 2: Auto Experts on South twenty seventh Street.
23:25
Speaker 1: Uh just north of eight niney four. So Dolph is
23:28
Speaker 1: not here.
23:28
Speaker 2: Usually we'd be making our adjustments eating an uncrustable and
23:31
Speaker 2: an orange slice and you know, chopping it up yep
23:34
Speaker 2: with Dolph, but so without him, you can feel the
23:37
Speaker 2: free share us your thoughts or give us your takes
23:41
Speaker 2: or any questions you may have.
23:43
Speaker 4: And the talking text line is doing that right now
23:45
Speaker 4: at eight seven seven seven nine four one nine seven
23:47
Speaker 4: three Nicolay lot I com talk and text line six.
23:50
Speaker 4: So I appreciate you guys being on the radio today.
23:52
Speaker 4: We appreciate all you waking up with us and appreciate
23:54
Speaker 4: you being with us as well.
23:55
Speaker 1: Our friend Kavika and Maui hit up the.
23:57
Speaker 4: Talking text lines, fellas, Jackson Churio needs to start hitting
24:01
Speaker 4: all right.
24:02
Speaker 3: First, let's let's congratulate Kavika and Mali for not having
24:05
Speaker 3: a Jordan Love's gotta prove it tweet. Let's a text.
24:08
Speaker 3: Let's hear it for Kavika because ninety eight percent of
24:11
Speaker 3: his texts are usually Jordan Love's gonna prove it to
24:13
Speaker 3: me more so I appreciate him. Now he's just ripping
24:16
Speaker 3: on another one. Say well, now, Jackson Turia needs to
24:18
Speaker 3: prove it to him a little bit. What do you
24:19
Speaker 3: guys think that power? The home runs haven't been there
24:22
Speaker 3: but his numbers have been okay. I think now wasn't
24:24
Speaker 3: the greatest necessarily serious for him.
24:27
Speaker 4: I'm gonna look the numbers up now, Well, Drew, I
24:29
Speaker 4: don't know. I mean, if Jackson Curia was hitting, they
24:31
Speaker 4: might be in a might be first but oh wait.
24:34
Speaker 1: Yeah he he does.
24:36
Speaker 4: Also in his last five games have a pair of
24:40
Speaker 4: multi hit games.
24:41
Speaker 3: Uh.
24:42
Speaker 4: He had going into Wednesday's zero for four with a
24:46
Speaker 4: walk in a strikeout, been riding a five game hitting streak. Uh,
24:50
Speaker 4: and right now is hitting two eighty six in sixty
24:53
Speaker 4: three at bats.
24:54
Speaker 1: I think he's figuring it out. I think he's doing
24:56
Speaker 1: all right.
24:57
Speaker 4: But arman, the power is one thing, right Like well,
24:59
Speaker 4: I I think we'll see the power come from Jackson
25:02
Speaker 4: as the weather warms up as well. But when he's
25:05
Speaker 4: slicing the baseball over the right center, very similar to
25:08
Speaker 4: how when Yellich is spraying the ball over to left center. Yeah,
25:11
Speaker 4: so you know, they're really starting to go right and
25:13
Speaker 4: it feels like Jackson squared a couple of those up
25:15
Speaker 4: in the hup.
25:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's hitting. Well. This is the highest average so
25:17
Speaker 3: far of his nos early to eighty six. You mentioned it,
25:20
Speaker 3: seven forty one ops which is good, not spectacular. He's
25:23
Speaker 3: usually up around seven to eighty, you know, eight hundred. Uh,
25:26
Speaker 3: it's it is the slugging that's down a bit so far.
25:29
Speaker 3: I mean, he had twenty one homers the last two years,
25:32
Speaker 3: so you're kind of in your back of your mind,
25:34
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't work this way this easily. But
25:36
Speaker 3: this is what we do as fans. You think, all right,
25:38
Speaker 3: that's the floor, Like Jackson's good for twenty home runs
25:40
Speaker 3: right away, boom, and on a team that doesn't hit
25:42
Speaker 3: a lot of home runs. If you aren't hitting a
25:44
Speaker 3: lot and people want you to, I get why that's magnified.
25:48
Speaker 3: That's probably the one thing you can say is not
25:50
Speaker 3: eating mores. That being said, I don't know about you guys.
25:52
Speaker 3: It felt like he's hit ten walls this year. I mean,
25:55
Speaker 3: I felt like Jackson has hit the wall like so
25:57
Speaker 3: many times and being close.
25:59
Speaker 1: So I agree.
25:59
Speaker 3: I think he's okay. I think it's the you know,
26:02
Speaker 3: the power's coming. He's taken more walks than he has
26:06
Speaker 3: in the past. I mean, he usually you know, that
26:08
Speaker 3: was his issue the last few years, and his walk
26:10
Speaker 3: rate is a little bit better, So I mean that's
26:13
Speaker 3: a good sign. As well, I think he's he's gonna
26:14
Speaker 3: be fine. Yeah.
26:16
Speaker 1: Well, I mean again quibbling with the Brewers at the
26:19
Speaker 1: quarter pole and they're in the first place, like okay, yeah.
26:23
Speaker 4: But the other part is like how different the lineup
26:26
Speaker 4: has been ever since the infusion of Yelich and Surio
26:30
Speaker 4: and Vaughan back. I mean, I don't think it's I
26:32
Speaker 4: don't think it should be too surprising when Stanman Steve
26:35
Speaker 4: breaks down the maze for us. Last year in May,
26:37
Speaker 4: the Brewers were fifteen and thirteen. This year they're thirteen
26:39
Speaker 4: and four. That's a little bit, a little bit different.
26:43
Speaker 4: And right, first weekend in May or second series of
26:46
Speaker 4: May is when those guys first started to come back
26:48
Speaker 4: and yell it's just just off of the il or
26:52
Speaker 4: off the il and then off of the bench for
26:54
Speaker 4: a week. Providing some more of it. The Churio one
26:57
Speaker 4: is interesting when Dobbler asks us, and now this comes
27:00
Speaker 4: from a state of asking about Garrett Mitchell, but he said,
27:03
Speaker 4: does does Garrett Mitchell open up the door or should
27:06
Speaker 4: it open up a door for a Bowers and left
27:09
Speaker 4: field Cheerio and center Freelick in right with Andrew vaughnover
27:13
Speaker 4: at first base for this Dodger series to get as
27:15
Speaker 4: much offense on the field as possible.
27:16
Speaker 1: Drewels, Uh, that's good.
27:19
Speaker 3: You can't really sit Bowers right now, right it's Bower.
27:22
Speaker 2: Yeahwers has to play, but it is part of the
27:26
Speaker 2: reason that he's being so productive and stuff that they're playing.
27:29
Speaker 1: That's the question.
27:30
Speaker 2: That's a good balancing act to find that is it's like, hey,
27:34
Speaker 2: then you play this guy every day, and then you
27:35
Speaker 2: play him every day and he's do you forget how
27:37
Speaker 2: what made him good and why he was hot at
27:39
Speaker 2: the first place. Hey, it's the the discipline to say, hey, man,
27:43
Speaker 2: this guy crushes right handed pitching. Let's have him face
27:45
Speaker 2: a lot of right handed pitching. And then when they
27:48
Speaker 2: start crushing right handed pitching, to not go and throw
27:50
Speaker 2: him in for three days against the lefty. Yeah, that's
27:53
Speaker 2: what That's what makes managers a lot better than me
27:55
Speaker 2: because I look at it and being a cooler instead,
27:57
Speaker 2: maybe you're keeping him on the warming plate and allowing
28:00
Speaker 2: him to continue to sizzle a little bit. They have
28:02
Speaker 2: that discipline, And the other thing is they ride out
28:04
Speaker 2: with like how can you keep running Joey Ortiz out there?
28:06
Speaker 2: And then suddenly he starts to hit and you go, oh, okay,
28:08
Speaker 2: that's why he's playing. Plus he saved he runs every
28:10
Speaker 2: day on the other side, So yeah, it's that. But
28:14
Speaker 2: that's the that's the the push and pull of it,
28:17
Speaker 2: and that's where again you're right, they do. They get
28:19
Speaker 2: paid to make those decisions and they have the bigger picture,
28:22
Speaker 2: and it's like.
28:23
Speaker 1: This guy's raking. Well, the reason he's raking is because
28:25
Speaker 1: we're finding him good spots, significant matchups, right, and we're
28:29
Speaker 1: he's playing against you, you know that platoon thing.
28:32
Speaker 2: People hate it. Platoon advantage is real. That's like they
28:35
Speaker 2: don't do anything just willy nilly the stats when now
28:37
Speaker 2: there are some. It used to be that, okay, uh,
28:41
Speaker 2: the left he's coming up for you know, the reds,
28:43
Speaker 2: and we're going to counter and bringing our left out
28:45
Speaker 2: of the pen. But then someone said, well look at
28:46
Speaker 2: this number. This lefty he does better against right. He's
28:48
Speaker 2: then he doesn't gets lefties. He's got the reverse plitz
28:51
Speaker 2: to the reverse split. So it's like that they've gotten
28:54
Speaker 2: rid of that reflexive action. But there is something too.
28:58
Speaker 2: Part of the reason the guy is so good is
29:00
Speaker 2: because because they're protecting him and because he's not playing
29:02
Speaker 2: every day.
29:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's and people can't wrap their brain around that.
29:06
Speaker 4: It's hard to It's really hard to because all I'm
29:08
Speaker 4: seeing is this guy ripping a what is eleven game
29:10
Speaker 4: streaking nineteen games on base? Murph mentioned it to some
29:13
Speaker 4: of the dudes on MLB Network. Again, I can't remember
29:15
Speaker 4: if it was the afternoon show or night show. Good
29:17
Speaker 4: show either way.
29:18
Speaker 1: Uh. And and he had made a joke about Lauren Shoat.
29:20
Speaker 4: He doesn't wear the Brewers jersey, which I appreciate Himurph
29:23
Speaker 4: shouting out, yeah, Lauren want to see that, so sorry,
29:26
Speaker 4: Lauren wears every other team's jersey except ours.
29:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, Lauren, let let's go, Murph. At least
29:30
Speaker 1: for Dave, thank you.
29:31
Speaker 4: At least for at least for Dave Gasper to give
29:34
Speaker 4: him that moment he needs. But but said, Jury's like,
29:37
Speaker 4: I don't always believe in the platoon thing, although if
29:41
Speaker 4: you watch us, we probably do it a little bit
29:43
Speaker 4: more than other teams because there is He said that
29:46
Speaker 4: you have to balance in who the guy is and
29:49
Speaker 4: how they're rolling. But also there's the reason why the
29:51
Speaker 4: numbers can be the numbers showed him, and aga is
29:53
Speaker 4: the best example of it. I mean, the right handers
29:55
Speaker 4: were having a lot tougher time against him than anybody else.
29:59
Speaker 4: And tonight Robeleski for the Dodgers, who is their first
30:03
Speaker 4: of the guys, And you're like, wait a second, what
30:05
Speaker 4: is this twenty five year old Roboleski guy wearing a
30:07
Speaker 4: seventy jersey. Well, he's shoving a top fifteen era.
30:11
Speaker 3: In picks boy six and one.
30:13
Speaker 1: He's got like a one whip, so he's pretty good.
30:15
Speaker 4: And he's not very forgiving against left handers, albeit though
30:20
Speaker 4: the lefty lefties are hitting marginally better than right handers
30:26
Speaker 4: are and the ops is far or higher. So maybe
30:28
Speaker 4: you do still see Bowers in there and Yelich, and
30:31
Speaker 4: maybe another off day for Vaughan, because I would have
30:34
Speaker 4: thought both of them would find their way into the
30:36
Speaker 4: lineup for offensive purposes. Whether it's Bowers in left field
30:40
Speaker 4: or Yellich in left field, I don't really necessarily care.
30:43
Speaker 4: I would wonder though, if we're gonna see Yellich in
30:45
Speaker 4: the outfield, because with the back already tightening up and
30:49
Speaker 4: already one one il stint on the docket, I think
30:52
Speaker 4: you might be seeing him for four at bats, and
30:55
Speaker 4: that's gonna be about it and they'll really be cautious
30:58
Speaker 4: with him playing defense.
30:58
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you, why Chan Now, The fact is,
31:01
Speaker 3: it does seem like there's a little bit of uh,
31:03
Speaker 3: you know, overcrowding in some of these positions. And if
31:06
Speaker 3: you have more good options, that's that's a good problem
31:09
Speaker 3: they have. But it does it does seem like that sometimes,
31:12
Speaker 3: like all right, we gotta find room for everybody because
31:14
Speaker 3: it seemed, you know, hey, everyone's doing well. It's just
31:16
Speaker 3: hard to sit Bowers right now. I mean, the way
31:18
Speaker 3: he's hitting it is, he's kind of in a revelation.
31:21
Speaker 3: So I'm all about playing the numbers and I believe
31:24
Speaker 3: in the platoon, but there are times when it's like,
31:26
Speaker 3: you know, I I think this guy's hot enough, you've
31:29
Speaker 3: got to get make sure he gets at bats, so
31:31
Speaker 3: Armor wants to double down. I just yeah, I feel
31:34
Speaker 3: certain guys that way. It's like Bowers has been pretty incredible.
31:36
Speaker 3: So it's tough though, because you have to find room
31:39
Speaker 3: for everybody. And obviously Sal's there, and you know, we
31:42
Speaker 3: talked about Yelich and now it's you know, Garrett, all
31:44
Speaker 3: these things are working together, so you want to find
31:47
Speaker 3: room for everybody. You want to find at bats for everybody,
31:49
Speaker 3: but you want to put your best to line up
31:50
Speaker 3: on the field.
31:51
Speaker 2: That's something uh Ned Yost taught me that one. He
31:55
Speaker 2: was like, you know, when fans start to clamor for
31:57
Speaker 2: a guy to be benched and guy's awful, and the
31:59
Speaker 2: guy a bad week and then another week, and then
32:03
Speaker 2: just when you get to the point where you're thinking
32:04
Speaker 2: about him making a change, give him another ten games
32:08
Speaker 2: then and then like you know, that's just the game
32:10
Speaker 2: of streaks.
32:11
Speaker 1: You can't rebound there.
32:12
Speaker 2: Then yeah, it's like just when you can't stand it anymore,
32:14
Speaker 2: you've been blocking out the fan noise and stuff, but
32:17
Speaker 2: when you can't send anymore, give them another seven to
32:19
Speaker 2: ten games and then see if you have to make it.
32:21
Speaker 1: Because usually, oh, now the guy's starting to hit.
32:23
Speaker 2: Right, starts waking up a little bit. The regression to
32:25
Speaker 2: the mean is also real.
32:27
Speaker 4: So there's a lot more there's a lot more Jake
32:29
Speaker 4: Bowers or former Jake Bowers guys out there. Then I
32:32
Speaker 4: thought that just save their bacon right before they're about
32:34
Speaker 4: to get the faid.
32:35
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, all right, capen Coming. We made it through
32:38
Speaker 2: halftime without Dolf Will have to do that again on
32:40
Speaker 2: Tuesday because he's a savvy veteran and took the proper
32:43
Speaker 2: days off. But we're gonna power ahead. When we come back,
32:45
Speaker 2: we will have our uh who's hot, Who's not? Brought
32:47
Speaker 2: to us by Donovan Jorgenson heating and cooling, and then
32:51
Speaker 2: before you know it, at seven o'clock, we may or
32:53
Speaker 2: may not talk to Paul Wagner today.
32:54
Speaker 1: I'm betting the under.
32:56
Speaker 4: He texted me that they were getting in just after
32:59
Speaker 4: four point thirty to the beautiful KC metropolitan area.
33:02
Speaker 1: What said, give me a shout. You'll wake up, say hi.
33:06
Speaker 1: He's probably if you. If I don't wake up, say hi,
33:08
Speaker 1: might I think.
33:09
Speaker 3: He'll be up for breakfast with the boys. I think
33:11
Speaker 3: he will be yep.
33:13
Speaker 2: With or without Wags, we will plow through and finish
33:15
Speaker 2: strong untill eight o'clock.
33:16
Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
33:24
Speaker 2: Drew billion Arman huddled up on a Friday in the
33:26
Speaker 2: good Land eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety.
33:28
Speaker 2: Through your ticket to the Nicolay Lot dot com talk
33:30
Speaker 2: at text line. You can also come with them. The
33:31
Speaker 2: YouTube page streaming live on YouTube, Facebook x as well
33:34
Speaker 2: as over the air for those in your cars already
33:38
Speaker 2: nine to twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison. A lot of
33:43
Speaker 2: topics last night, Christ and Yolch thing. Obviously people were
33:45
Speaker 2: talking about the Brewers, but uh, there was some Bucks
33:48
Speaker 2: conversation as well. Oh you know, we were over by
33:51
Speaker 2: the in that in the Bucks neighborhood, dear district for
33:53
Speaker 2: the Trade hotel was the VIP launching thing, and then
33:57
Speaker 2: the Landmark Credit Union live in the shatto like that's
34:00
Speaker 2: where Armand proposed and at the former side of the
34:02
Speaker 2: Bradley Center.
34:03
Speaker 3: And yeah, but now it's no longer. Well the spot
34:06
Speaker 3: is there, spot is there, it's build So we I
34:08
Speaker 3: found that sweet spot when the building got torn down.
34:11
Speaker 3: The next one wasn't up yet and empty lot. That's romance, Roman,
34:16
Speaker 3: that's romance.
34:17
Speaker 2: So but the Bucks conversation was interesting and obviously like
34:21
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen with you?
34:22
Speaker 1: Honest? How would things have changed if the Bucks had
34:24
Speaker 1: gotten like the number two pick? Would they be.
34:27
Speaker 2: More likely to trade youann we were diving into that,
34:29
Speaker 2: like then what would happen then? Would they have been
34:32
Speaker 2: more likely less likely? Are they playing a game of chicken?
34:35
Speaker 2: Will they enter the season with Honest, he's under contract
34:37
Speaker 2: and we'll trade him at the deadline if we can,
34:38
Speaker 2: or do we do they play that game?
34:40
Speaker 1: Make him walk away from the money.
34:42
Speaker 2: We brought up the Miles Garrett thing because it's applicable
34:44
Speaker 2: because Jimmy haslam. Oh yeah, it was a whole churn
34:47
Speaker 2: of Miles Garrett once out. He's not gonna play. He's
34:49
Speaker 2: absolutely not gonna play. He's done in Cleveland and he's
34:51
Speaker 2: back with C So how does that lay out? And
34:55
Speaker 2: then it spun into like we talked about, would you
34:59
Speaker 2: trade Heyzer's mott for a title?
35:01
Speaker 1: Of course? Did they have to trade Miles Turner after
35:04
Speaker 1: what he said about?
35:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, whether g Honest comes back or not, did Miles
35:08
Speaker 2: Turner is getting ripped from every corner of the NBA
35:11
Speaker 2: for breaking the code and talking about that guy's being
35:13
Speaker 2: late to meetings and Yannis being late. Maybe he wanted
35:16
Speaker 2: to make Doc look bad because he was getting benched
35:18
Speaker 2: in the fourth court and Jericho Simms was getting his minutes.
35:21
Speaker 2: Maybe he just didn't like the he didn't vibe with
35:23
Speaker 2: the coach. But if he thought he made Doc look bag,
35:26
Speaker 2: he also made Giannis look bad and himself look.
35:28
Speaker 4: Bad in himself look bad and potentially himself look worse
35:32
Speaker 4: and Drew. That's where I'm I'm almost more hesitant to
35:35
Speaker 4: trade Turner because you're trading him at like the all
35:38
Speaker 4: list of all time lows, so true, where yeah, he
35:41
Speaker 4: just broke guy code around the league, so that's gonna
35:45
Speaker 4: sit weird. He played objectively his worst year of his career,
35:49
Speaker 4: which is gonna be another spot, and that contract looks
35:53
Speaker 4: worse by the moment, so like, I almost would think
35:56
Speaker 4: that they try to double it down. But what definitely
36:00
Speaker 4: went out the window is me thinking that that was
36:02
Speaker 4: a little package deal. You were sweetening things up to
36:05
Speaker 4: try to get even more back, or a Bobby Portis
36:09
Speaker 4: and Miles Turner all gone if it's a complete rebuild,
36:12
Speaker 4: the second pick being more likely to trade him. I
36:15
Speaker 4: think they're trading him regardless, So I think it would
36:18
Speaker 4: be disingenuous for me to say yes, I would. I
36:22
Speaker 4: would push it more to if certain teams would have
36:26
Speaker 4: gotten the second or third pick. The Bucks were definitely
36:28
Speaker 4: moving on right, Like if the Heat would have gotten
36:31
Speaker 4: the second pick, Wow, does their offer look a lot
36:33
Speaker 4: more attractive. I'm with you to the Warriors get the
36:36
Speaker 4: second pick. You're definitely then allowing their package to be
36:40
Speaker 4: a lot more appealing than it is right now.
36:43
Speaker 2: The thing is and it's bad timing. It's similar. Here's
36:46
Speaker 2: a here's an armin like analogy. When the Brewers had
36:50
Speaker 2: a county stadium, when they had that old black and
36:52
Speaker 2: white TV scoreboard mm hmm origin, Well they put that
36:55
Speaker 2: up and it was some like whatever Switzerland or whatever,
36:57
Speaker 2: and hey, look at this like they had actual replays,
37:00
Speaker 2: even though it looked like World War two movies, but
37:02
Speaker 2: they got video like. A year later came the jumbo
37:07
Speaker 2: trons and the Brewers were locked in. They were already
37:09
Speaker 2: it was already outdated committed. Bradley Center opens and it
37:12
Speaker 2: was nice. And then they opened up new places with
37:15
Speaker 2: better amenities shortly thereafter, and that was the timing in
37:18
Speaker 2: life is everything. And the Bucks are now venturing into
37:24
Speaker 2: the trade. Your superstar waters in an era when no
37:27
Speaker 2: one wants to give up, like the Bridge's trade with
37:29
Speaker 2: five first rounders for a use not even as good
37:32
Speaker 2: as you like.
37:32
Speaker 1: You can't get the value.
37:34
Speaker 2: You can't get his value back because teams can't give
37:37
Speaker 2: it to you for a number of reasons, but mostly
37:39
Speaker 2: they just don't want to get rid of young players
37:41
Speaker 2: in draft capitals, as they're not as as quick to
37:45
Speaker 2: do that as they were even two or three years ago.
37:47
Speaker 2: You missed the market. The yeah, they missed out. The
37:50
Speaker 2: market has changed like those deals again. I go back
37:53
Speaker 2: one of the best trades in Brewis history. And I
37:55
Speaker 2: argued with my buddy Daniels about this because he thought
37:57
Speaker 2: it sucked.
37:58
Speaker 1: But trading Richie Sexon.
38:00
Speaker 2: Getting back a whole raft of guys Chris Capiano, Junior Spivey, Like,
38:03
Speaker 2: didn't they get Craig Counsel in the Council, de la
38:06
Speaker 2: Ross Lyle Overbay, Chad Mohler, They got like five or six.
38:10
Speaker 2: They got guys that were instantly starters and upgraded their
38:13
Speaker 2: team team for Richie Section, who went to Arizona, played
38:16
Speaker 2: one year, didn't do much, and then bolted as a
38:19
Speaker 2: free agent to Seattle. And the Purs won that trade
38:23
Speaker 2: a million times over. And that was one of the
38:25
Speaker 2: last times that Gems unloaded the clip to get one
38:29
Speaker 2: superstar guy like they didn't. They just didn't want to
38:32
Speaker 2: give up multiple And these weren't just these weren't prospects.
38:35
Speaker 2: These were like major league players who had time service time,
38:39
Speaker 2: and that was a lopsided trade that was kind of
38:40
Speaker 2: the end of that era.
38:41
Speaker 1: And the Bridges thing might have been like that, the
38:43
Speaker 1: five first rounders from.
38:44
Speaker 4: Bridges for five first rounders for four of them this
38:48
Speaker 4: year as well, go Baar five first rounders and something.
38:51
Speaker 1: I don't think those are gonna happen anymore because now
38:55
Speaker 1: it's the Oklahoma City model where your horrid draft picks
38:58
Speaker 1: and it's like it's the landscape has changed.
39:00
Speaker 2: So it's a bad time to be getting out of
39:01
Speaker 2: it because for what you honest means to the city,
39:05
Speaker 2: the franchise, like you can't there is no player that
39:07
Speaker 2: you can get from like Wemby, Like.
39:09
Speaker 1: Who else can you get? Like do you need?
39:11
Speaker 2: You can't get value for him, So that has the
39:13
Speaker 2: factor in. But at this point, if they have to
39:15
Speaker 2: cut and run, and if it's best for the franchise,
39:18
Speaker 2: and in hindsight, it would have been best for the
39:20
Speaker 2: franchise to do it a year or two ago instead
39:22
Speaker 2: of making the Dame trade.
39:23
Speaker 4: Somehow drew it has turned itself into a Bucks version
39:27
Speaker 4: of the Aaron Rodgers situation, where in the moment I
39:31
Speaker 4: still would not have traded Rogers. After the twenty one season,
39:35
Speaker 4: objectively looking at it, with the Seattle Seahawks making what
39:38
Speaker 4: you think was basically the exact trade you were gonna
39:41
Speaker 4: get from Denver and win in the title three years later,
39:45
Speaker 4: it was the right move to make. But it's a
39:47
Speaker 4: hard one to go back and change the course of
39:49
Speaker 4: history with.
39:50
Speaker 3: That's the best way to say it. I mean you
39:51
Speaker 3: really all you people will like to say this, but
39:54
Speaker 3: you just become unlucky when the market doesn't time right.
39:56
Speaker 3: And yeah, you could also bakes a lot Harrison brewing
40:02
Speaker 3: this up for everyone else. Thank you, he screwed it
40:04
Speaker 3: up for everybody. Oh well, it's just it just thinks
40:06
Speaker 3: that's what makes it an uncomfortable experience. Besides just treating honest,
40:10
Speaker 3: it's that you know you're not gonna get that value
40:11
Speaker 3: that you should and it sucks. It sucks.
40:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Uh again, no one knows what's happening.
40:17
Speaker 2: Everybody's throwing darts at the board, and it's fifty to
40:19
Speaker 2: fifty whether East back or not. In my humble estimation,
40:22
Speaker 2: it's only two things. Either he'll be back or he's not.
40:25
Speaker 2: Only choices.
40:26
Speaker 3: It's like gambling. You're either gonna win or you're gonna lose.
40:28
Speaker 1: Let's hit it. It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
