2:00
Speaker 4: We are here for you on this beloved Monday in
2:05
Speaker 4: the good Land. It's a full week this week after
2:07
Speaker 4: Memorial Day last week. It's gonna seem a little bit tougher,
2:10
Speaker 4: and you know, bills are due. It's the first It's
2:13
Speaker 4: it strikes me driving into it. I'm thinking, all right,
2:15
Speaker 4: we're on to June. How are those New Year's resolutions
2:18
Speaker 4: treating you?
2:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is the gut the gut check yeah, cut
2:21
Speaker 6: check moment a halfway point. This would be one of
2:24
Speaker 6: those times where to realize I have not become any
2:26
Speaker 6: more handy around the house. I have not done anything
2:30
Speaker 6: that is of the fixer upper, you know, Chip and
2:33
Speaker 6: Joanna style where they be sending me down to Magnolia, Texas.
2:36
Speaker 6: I ain't doing any of that stuff yet, Drew, so
2:38
Speaker 6: mine would be a big failure. However, Scrappy Plucky, the
2:42
Speaker 6: lunch Pale show that does all the little things that
2:44
Speaker 6: you didn't realize that you couldn't live without, the huddle
2:47
Speaker 6: that will grind through the five day work week, You're right,
2:51
Speaker 6: like so many of these online prognosticators and TikTokers that
2:55
Speaker 6: have been talking about the four day work week. Now,
2:57
Speaker 6: I feel like for the last five or six years,
2:58
Speaker 6: oh yeah, you have one last week, and now you
3:00
Speaker 6: stare down the barrel of five this week. I think
3:02
Speaker 6: a lot of folks on the nicolay lot dot com
3:04
Speaker 6: talking text line could get down with that four day week.
3:06
Speaker 4: Life would be amazing mm hm. Of course probably wouldn't
3:08
Speaker 4: apply to us. We'd still be here off, we'd still
3:10
Speaker 4: the rest entertain you gotta have some more fun.
3:13
Speaker 6: But yeah, I understand what the what the thought process
3:15
Speaker 6: is with those I've always wondered that, you know, if
3:17
Speaker 6: they that four day week, we ever were to come
3:19
Speaker 6: to fruition, which it wouldn't, I don't think, But if
3:21
Speaker 6: it ever.
3:22
Speaker 2: Did, would I wouldn't say never? Maybe not never? Good point?
3:26
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I yeah, I don't think that
3:28
Speaker 2: I would say never. Yeah, I think.
3:30
Speaker 3: And then I asked myself, how would that affect the
3:32
Speaker 3: traditional media cycle? However, by that time, there will be
3:34
Speaker 3: no traditional media cycle? Right that. Those are the things
3:37
Speaker 3: that I pondered my brain as I started my uh
3:40
Speaker 3: my walking season. But I would say I agree, Billy.
3:44
Speaker 3: I haven't done any mind of these resolutions either. But
3:46
Speaker 3: the genius, in my opinion, was I didn't start any
3:50
Speaker 3: That was I think that's the that's the whole key.
3:51
Speaker 3: You can't fail if you don't start. So that's what
3:54
Speaker 3: I tried to do. But on a June, where's the
3:56
Speaker 3: where's the time gone? The monster flying by?
3:58
Speaker 4: May just flew by. Now we're on to summer. Basically,
4:02
Speaker 4: we're calling it summer because it's June first, a little
4:04
Speaker 4: bit of a chili weekend this weekend a little it
4:08
Speaker 4: was ten degrees well, especially where I live on the lake.
4:12
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, definitely refrigerator huge. It was crazy. I mean
4:17
Speaker 4: even driving a couple of miles west, I could feel
4:20
Speaker 4: the difference.
4:20
Speaker 2: M h oh yeah, but that's son was nice.
4:23
Speaker 6: It was nice to be able to get outside and
4:24
Speaker 6: actually do some stuff and not be uh dripping with
4:27
Speaker 6: a towel for the majority of the time. So it
4:30
Speaker 6: rolls into June, it rolls into finals time, and we
4:33
Speaker 6: have the the matchups down that was an incredible display
4:37
Speaker 6: on Saturday night. Uh and then you know, the miz
4:40
Speaker 6: just keeps on keeping on and we get we get
4:42
Speaker 6: one of the better deciding votes. One of my favorite
4:45
Speaker 6: things that I never realized that we couldn't live without
4:48
Speaker 6: was who is gonna win the May Pitcher of the Month?
4:51
Speaker 6: The hot topic online yesterday does not matter, but sure
4:54
Speaker 6: is fun when you got two guys dealing like Sanchez
4:56
Speaker 6: and Mizzes. Sanchez and Mizzer doing stuff that Alwa's ever seen.
5:00
Speaker 6: That's disgusting when you look at that comparison that they
5:02
Speaker 6: put up in the different.
5:04
Speaker 4: Mizarawski's May is going to go down as one of
5:06
Speaker 4: the best pitched months in baseball history ever.
5:09
Speaker 2: Ever.
5:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean zero point two to three e r
5:12
Speaker 4: A and six starts.
5:13
Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to be much better, but yeah, twenty
5:16
Speaker 3: cause Sanchez I feel like was kind of flying under
5:18
Speaker 3: the radar. Maybe not everwhere because he put es in
5:20
Speaker 3: a big market, but at least around here. People were
5:23
Speaker 3: talking about Skeens nationally and then Skeens had a couple
5:25
Speaker 3: of outings where you give up runs, which is all
5:28
Speaker 3: it takes now. Uh, but yeah, Sanchez has been every
5:30
Speaker 3: every bit is incredible. But yes, MS obviously has shown
5:34
Speaker 3: us something special here throughout his old career, but obviously
5:38
Speaker 3: this month as he's flown.
5:39
Speaker 4: Through Sanchez four and oh thirty nine innings, twenty five hits,
5:42
Speaker 4: no runs, three walks, forty five strikeouts. How about that
5:46
Speaker 4: three walks forty five zero point zero zero, Okay, so
5:52
Speaker 4: that's it. I mean you madus was five and oh
5:54
Speaker 4: thirty eight and a third inning, so two thirds innings left,
5:57
Speaker 4: fourteen hits. That's you know, significant, have eleven fewer hits,
6:01
Speaker 4: one run, six walks, fifty seven strikeouts, a zero point
6:05
Speaker 4: two to three er. They're both spectacular months. Like that
6:10
Speaker 4: you don't see imagine imagine that being the threshold to
6:13
Speaker 4: win the award. I mean miz gave up a run
6:17
Speaker 4: or like you got in Santins give up zero. So
6:20
Speaker 4: I guess he went like a man, this would be
6:22
Speaker 4: the go down.
6:22
Speaker 3: Is the best pitch month ever when he doesn't win
6:24
Speaker 3: the award, which he might not because Sanchez's era was
6:27
Speaker 3: just obviously perfect, I don't know what else you can do.
6:30
Speaker 2: I suppose so well in a part of it.
6:32
Speaker 6: And a lot of people have pointed to the different
6:34
Speaker 6: teams that they played, both were not facing slouches, right.
6:38
Speaker 6: I mean there's there's three teams out of the I
6:41
Speaker 6: think ten or eleven teams that they ended up starting
6:43
Speaker 6: combined between that had under five hundred records of like
6:47
Speaker 6: the Astros, Athletics and Rockies, and a couple of those
6:50
Speaker 6: lineups are none to be be messing around with Miserowski's
6:53
Speaker 6: first twenty pitches yesterday, we're one hundred minus hour. He
6:57
Speaker 6: just excuse me, I'm just gonna unload this gas can
7:00
Speaker 6: real quick. And he didn't have his best stuff. No,
7:02
Speaker 6: and just see how much you're how much fun you're
7:04
Speaker 6: gonna have trying to hit it and when he slid
7:07
Speaker 6: off the mound, it was trying to mess around with
7:09
Speaker 6: the landing spot drew in the fifth inning. Yeah, that
7:11
Speaker 6: was right where I thought we were going to see
7:13
Speaker 6: a little bit of the the unraveling, right, and we
7:15
Speaker 6: had talked about it last week, of the maturity and
7:18
Speaker 6: the evolution for him, it just wasn't going to phase him,
7:22
Speaker 6: and instead then he just started dealing more of his
7:23
Speaker 6: off speed stuff, which was just as filthy eight k's
7:28
Speaker 6: yesterday on eighty eight pitches. If it was a playoff game,
7:32
Speaker 6: maybe he goes back out there. Who knows, because he
7:34
Speaker 6: navigates the toughest part in the lineup three straight times
7:38
Speaker 6: and Alvarez Walker Tremel, Those are real dudes that they
7:42
Speaker 6: have their pain youa leading off, and instead he just
7:45
Speaker 6: continued to make them look mortal all Sunday afternoon long.
7:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was awesome.
7:49
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of the interesting trend with Miz
7:51
Speaker 3: now going seven innings a couple times and wondering, now
7:54
Speaker 3: can he start to stretch this thing out, because obviously,
7:57
Speaker 3: you know when he first came up throwing with that
7:58
Speaker 3: kind of nasty you want to do your best to
8:02
Speaker 3: maintain his help maintain the right level of performance. But
8:06
Speaker 3: you know, it was like a lot of four or
8:08
Speaker 3: five inning outings. But this question, now, you know, can
8:11
Speaker 3: he start to stretch and extend himself and how how
8:14
Speaker 3: much can the Brewers push the gas pedal down on him?
8:16
Speaker 3: That would be quite an ind you get a couple
8:18
Speaker 3: more innings or anying more pro outing from him that
8:20
Speaker 3: stretches out over the season to be a lot more
8:23
Speaker 3: a lot more value for the team. So I think
8:25
Speaker 3: that's quite the interesting development for miz is if there
8:28
Speaker 3: had to be another one, you know.
8:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean just an absurd month of May for
8:33
Speaker 4: mis Rawski and like and Sancha is like to have
8:35
Speaker 4: them both doing it at the same time. I love it.
8:39
Speaker 4: I'm getting my favorite all time clapback in the comments
8:43
Speaker 4: when you see people saying, how is this even a question?
8:45
Speaker 4: Like one guy didn't allow and run and the other
8:47
Speaker 4: guy did, Like okay, that one run, And then you
8:50
Speaker 4: look into the deeper numbers, like you know, more strikeouts,
8:52
Speaker 4: fewer hits allowed, Like it is not anybody who says
8:55
Speaker 4: it's not even a question. It's extremely close the ridiculously
9:01
Speaker 4: like unheard of months and you can celebrate both without,
9:05
Speaker 4: you know, diminishing one guy.
9:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I mean the super special fielding independent pitching.
9:10
Speaker 6: I mean, if if we're gonna say that batting average
9:12
Speaker 6: doesn't matter anymore, the fielding independent pitching is the one
9:15
Speaker 6: that a lot of numbers and analytical stats would point to.
9:19
Speaker 6: Miss is like a half a run lower than that
9:22
Speaker 6: on the FIP, so it's very close. It's razor thin. However,
9:27
Speaker 6: it is the month of May pitcher of the month,
9:30
Speaker 6: and I think both guys, which which is for a
9:33
Speaker 6: Brewers fan. Probably the best part of it is it
9:37
Speaker 6: seems like MS really couldn't care less. Again, you can't
9:40
Speaker 6: necessarily make it sound like you care. And you can
9:43
Speaker 6: keep that more for while you're hanging out flipping through
9:46
Speaker 6: your binders of Pokemon cards to be griping if you
9:49
Speaker 6: don't win it. But he did a really good job
9:51
Speaker 6: yesterday just saying yeah, it's pretty good.
9:53
Speaker 4: In one hundred and twenty five years basically of Major
9:56
Speaker 4: League Baseball, there have been twenty instances of a pitch
10:00
Speaker 4: throwing thirty innings in a calendar month and allowing one
10:03
Speaker 4: or zero earned runs. It happened so twenty times Sanchez
10:07
Speaker 4: Mazeroski did it in the same month one hundred the
10:09
Speaker 4: same year, in one hundred and twenty five years. Yeah,
10:12
Speaker 4: so it's happened twenty times and now it's happened in
10:14
Speaker 4: the same month of the same year, which is freakish.
10:17
Speaker 6: So and does that say more drew to you about
10:20
Speaker 6: those two individuals or about the state of the game
10:23
Speaker 6: right now, because I feel like it's more of you
10:25
Speaker 6: can pull back a.
10:25
Speaker 4: Little bit to this game because offense is just down,
10:29
Speaker 4: because pitching's never been better across the board than it
10:31
Speaker 4: is right now. It's never been harder. The old adage
10:34
Speaker 4: it's the hardest thing to do with sports is hit
10:35
Speaker 4: a baseball. Well, it's never been harder than it is,
10:38
Speaker 4: right Yeah, and these you know, that's what you're seeing
10:42
Speaker 4: is run production is down, pitching strikeouts are up.
10:45
Speaker 2: It's just it's crazy.
10:46
Speaker 6: And for these two dudes to also avoid the walks,
10:49
Speaker 6: which are up at a pretty historic rate this year
10:52
Speaker 6: with the innovation of ABS. I think that's also one
10:56
Speaker 6: of the more jarring numbers. Those two dudes combined for
10:58
Speaker 6: almost eighty in of work and walk nine guys for
11:03
Speaker 6: two dudes that now, Sanchez, I can't say that I
11:05
Speaker 6: know a ton about his career, I probably should know
11:07
Speaker 6: more about his exploits if he's dropping thirty nine innings
11:09
Speaker 6: of shut out baseball. But with Mis having control issues
11:14
Speaker 6: as his number one question coming up, throwing that hard,
11:17
Speaker 6: it's understandable that you would have some more lapses in
11:20
Speaker 6: control their ability to just hammer the zone with strikes.
11:25
Speaker 2: And for Mis, it's making you swing at the pitch.
11:27
Speaker 2: He wants you to swing.
11:28
Speaker 6: At right like he's pumping the heater, no doubt about it.
11:30
Speaker 6: But he is getting so many whiffs on the off
11:33
Speaker 6: speed stuff that he didn't have to throw it a ton.
11:36
Speaker 6: It's probably safer and healthier for your elbow. What's better
11:39
Speaker 6: throwing a nine eighty seven mile hour curveball that breaks
11:43
Speaker 6: from one batter's box to the other or one hundred
11:46
Speaker 6: and three I don't know the I don't know the
11:49
Speaker 6: physiology of it, but it seems like for him it's
11:51
Speaker 6: easier to gaz one ozh three than it even is
11:54
Speaker 6: the off speed stuff.
11:55
Speaker 2: So if you don't have to, don't use it. That's
11:56
Speaker 2: a great question.
11:57
Speaker 3: What are they always say, you know, in youth baseball,
11:59
Speaker 3: and like when kids come up, they don't want to
12:00
Speaker 3: throw curve balls, all right? Yeah, I don't want them
12:02
Speaker 3: throwing curveballs too. Really, they don't want to mess with
12:04
Speaker 3: their arm, their elbow and all that stuff. But it's
12:06
Speaker 3: also pretty abnormal to see a guy come down with
12:09
Speaker 3: one hundred and three on the arm. So I don't know,
12:12
Speaker 3: that's a great question, Billy. That is kind of funny.
12:13
Speaker 3: What's what's less healthy on the arm?
12:16
Speaker 4: As? All right, So, as we mentioned, we're on a
12:17
Speaker 4: June it's June first today, and if you're also looking
12:20
Speaker 4: for a little lifeline, you want to if you're if
12:22
Speaker 4: you're into the even numbers, we're one hundred days away
12:26
Speaker 4: from the NFL season kicking off with the Super Bowl rematch.
12:29
Speaker 6: Last Sundays away, fifteen Sundays away. Come on, now, last
12:33
Speaker 6: hundred There you go. So does this mean the hundred
12:35
Speaker 6: days of summer starts?
12:36
Speaker 3: Now?
12:36
Speaker 2: It's the summer officially end when football starts. I mean,
12:39
Speaker 2: we can debate that.
12:40
Speaker 4: You can say it kind of does yeah, yeah, yeah,
12:43
Speaker 4: I mean so.
12:48
Speaker 3: The corner goodness, it's just like it's how you rip
12:51
Speaker 3: the pages of the calendar. I don't mean to be negative.
12:53
Speaker 3: I guess about it. Oh, it's like we live for that.
12:56
Speaker 3: It's like we mentioned low tide. There's a lot of
12:58
Speaker 3: college women's softball on the TV these days.
13:00
Speaker 4: We have to wait a couple of days for game
13:02
Speaker 4: one of the finals, which will be a good finals.
13:04
Speaker 4: I'm kind of actually leaning Knicks now, Billy. Okay. As
13:08
Speaker 4: much as Web is great, Wemby is awesome, but that
13:11
Speaker 4: was a draining series for them.
13:13
Speaker 6: You know, even though it wasn't a great series, the
13:16
Speaker 6: games weren't great. Yeah, you're right, great outside of one.
13:18
Speaker 4: It goes to show that just because of the series
13:20
Speaker 4: goes seven games doesn't mean it's a classic. I've seen
13:24
Speaker 4: four and five game series with more drama attention in
13:26
Speaker 4: game when we saw in the seven games there with
13:30
Speaker 4: but but it was great. It was like, you know,
13:32
Speaker 4: the chess matches, the individual performances, watching the star players.
13:36
Speaker 4: Now you have Oklahoma City doing a look like do
13:39
Speaker 4: we need to change things? Do we need to get
13:41
Speaker 4: in the Jana sweep six? Can we They're having an
13:43
Speaker 4: existential you know discussion there like Okay, is this like
13:48
Speaker 4: we lost once?
13:49
Speaker 2: Can we beat that guy?
13:50
Speaker 4: Or do we need to retool? Cant is chet Holmer
13:53
Speaker 4: in the answer, Do we need to get rid of
13:55
Speaker 4: some of these picks and stuff? Because we're in win
13:57
Speaker 4: now mode because we just won, and like we're the
14:00
Speaker 4: two time back to back MVP riding it right now.
14:02
Speaker 4: So what do they do? What's their approach gonna be.
14:05
Speaker 4: Do they make the big move and go all in
14:07
Speaker 4: after your honest or do they stay the course as
14:09
Speaker 4: they have with their prospects in the pipeline and the
14:12
Speaker 4: draft picks and drafting.
14:13
Speaker 6: Develop I am so this this next three weeks, although
14:16
Speaker 6: in some Bucks fans will will just hate and that
14:20
Speaker 6: I say this, this is gonna be the best three
14:22
Speaker 6: weeks of the year because we're gonna get an answer
14:24
Speaker 6: to what you've been wondering for the last year and
14:26
Speaker 6: a half. Right, We're finally gonna get the resolution to
14:29
Speaker 6: the end of all this Yiannis drama, and it's going
14:32
Speaker 6: to end with him being on a different team at
14:33
Speaker 6: the end of it, and then you can finally start wondering,
14:36
Speaker 6: what did you get back and how can the return
14:38
Speaker 6: be better? And if anything was to come of Saturday
14:42
Speaker 6: night in the Bucks favor, it was gonna be exactly
14:46
Speaker 6: how it played out. Chet Holmgren looking like a scared
14:49
Speaker 6: Minnesotan as he is dropping, fumbling, missing the ball, trying
14:53
Speaker 6: to save it out of bounce and spiking it up
14:55
Speaker 6: against the glass, get four points and four rebounds, and
14:59
Speaker 6: for a Number two finisher and Defensive Player of the
15:02
Speaker 6: Year and a third team All NBA guy. He looked
15:05
Speaker 6: as mortal as you possibly could be. After Wemby just
15:09
Speaker 6: stuffed that one in the first quarter right on his head,
15:12
Speaker 6: on his back, on his neck. I mean, it was
15:15
Speaker 6: ruthless how he took his soul with that dunk, and
15:18
Speaker 6: he was never the same. He had nothing else to
15:21
Speaker 6: be able to defend it. And at that point you
15:25
Speaker 6: start thinking around, keeping your eyes wandering, saying, are they
15:29
Speaker 6: gonna have.
15:29
Speaker 2: To get into the honest sweepstakes?
15:31
Speaker 6: Because as much as prospects and draft picks are a
15:34
Speaker 6: beautiful thing to hold on to and know that you
15:38
Speaker 6: have and whenever it comes around in the middle of June,
15:41
Speaker 6: you are still a Finals contestant and a guy that
15:45
Speaker 6: can swing it big in the NBA draft and continue
15:48
Speaker 6: to draft and develop. All history would say Sam Presty
15:51
Speaker 6: wants nothing to do with a Yannis trade, and then
15:55
Speaker 6: Wemby does that I'm game in Game seven in his
15:57
Speaker 6: own building, and maybe Sam Presty even hits that panic,
16:00
Speaker 6: but not just not saying it. It's everybody saying that
16:02
Speaker 6: they might have to get into the honest sweepstakes. And I,
16:04
Speaker 6: for one, after watching Homegren, if I am in Oklahoma
16:07
Speaker 6: City Thunder front office member, I'm hammering the phone calling
16:12
Speaker 6: John Horst and trying to figure out how we're trying
16:14
Speaker 6: to move off of this max contract that's about to
16:16
Speaker 6: kick in for forty plus million dollars for chat Holmgren
16:19
Speaker 6: next year.
16:19
Speaker 3: That's the concern right for them is they have to
16:21
Speaker 3: start paying him, and he just in time to do
16:24
Speaker 3: that had his worst performance of his career, and that's
16:26
Speaker 3: the that's the issue right now. It's kind of funny,
16:28
Speaker 3: right because early early on, when people started talking about
16:32
Speaker 3: what team would be good for Giannis, well, you have
16:34
Speaker 3: to go to contender a place that could give a
16:36
Speaker 3: lot up. Oklahoma City was thrown out there early on,
16:39
Speaker 3: but then everyone kind of dismissed it because it's like
16:40
Speaker 3: there's such a wagon they're not gonna want to have
16:42
Speaker 3: to do that, or they're not gonna need to do that.
16:44
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, it's come full circle
16:46
Speaker 3: to your prediction, Billy last week, like if Oklahoma City loses,
16:49
Speaker 3: that might be the next step because they have to
16:51
Speaker 3: find an answer for Wemby and for all those other reasons.
16:55
Speaker 3: And it's easy to say, you know, we don't need
16:57
Speaker 3: to do these things when you're Sam pressI we have
16:59
Speaker 3: a good system and we're gonna stay the course until
17:02
Speaker 3: you get punched in the mouth, you lose your back
17:04
Speaker 3: to back bed, you start to panic and think is
17:06
Speaker 3: our window going to close if I don't do something
17:08
Speaker 3: quick and and so you know that that would be
17:11
Speaker 3: the flip side of it. I think the problem is
17:12
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody wants chet anymore and.
17:14
Speaker 2: I don't know.
17:15
Speaker 3: I don't know what contract value that much good with
17:17
Speaker 3: this contract, so who knows. I mean, they didn't have
17:19
Speaker 3: Jalen Williams obviously, but it was. It is something now
17:22
Speaker 3: that you have to think about, is if there if
17:24
Speaker 3: there is a group of teams in the mix. It's
17:27
Speaker 3: always been what you said, You're saying, it's like who's
17:29
Speaker 3: most desperate, and maybe they're gonna become that because it's
17:32
Speaker 3: gonna be a little bit of all right, if we
17:33
Speaker 3: want to try and win another championship and not be
17:35
Speaker 3: a one and done like the last what seven eight?
17:38
Speaker 3: I can't think how many. Now, we bet we better
17:40
Speaker 3: make a big move and maybe that would be it.
17:42
Speaker 6: So yeah, no one's repeated since the seventeen and eighteen
17:45
Speaker 6: title years for the Warriors, and it's gonna tick into
17:48
Speaker 6: a decade here, Drew. They're the first ones to make
17:50
Speaker 6: it back to the conference finals since the Lakers did
17:54
Speaker 6: after their Bubble title, and it it signifies a totally
17:57
Speaker 6: different NBA. Now, maybe Wemby and the Spurs are the
18:00
Speaker 6: ones that just turn this back to the nineties, eighties
18:02
Speaker 6: and seventies and rattle off, I don't know, five and seven,
18:05
Speaker 6: five and eight years cuz they actually under all of
18:10
Speaker 6: this while Oklahoma City's dominating and the Knicks are gonna
18:14
Speaker 6: take all of the oxygen away. The Spurs built such
18:17
Speaker 6: a juggernaut team under the age of twenty three, the
18:21
Speaker 6: NBA just changed all of their team building rules, like
18:26
Speaker 6: all of the rules, all of the stuff the Spurs
18:28
Speaker 6: were just able to do and execute over the last
18:30
Speaker 6: three to four years. The NBA has now outlawed because
18:34
Speaker 6: they're like, wait a second, this, Dylan Harper, dude, and
18:36
Speaker 6: Stefan Castle good and Wemby, Yeah that's too good. Nope, No,
18:40
Speaker 6: can't have that many top five picks in a row.
18:42
Speaker 6: Can't have that many top five picks in a row.
18:44
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to institute a new relegation zone. But
18:46
Speaker 6: now it's a good time to have your team kind
18:49
Speaker 6: of set. It's a good time to kind of have
18:51
Speaker 6: your grouping and your pairing and your core three or
18:54
Speaker 6: four set in stone, because it's not going to be
18:57
Speaker 6: very easy to be able to combat and try to
18:59
Speaker 6: build something that's similar to what the Spurs did. Did
19:02
Speaker 6: they have a lot of luck? Absolutely? Three teams passed
19:05
Speaker 6: on Stefan Castle, yep. Another team passed on pass is
19:10
Speaker 6: kind of a tough way of putting it. They did
19:11
Speaker 6: get Cooper Flag. I don't know that it's passing on
19:13
Speaker 6: him to get grab Dylan Harper. It looks like an
19:15
Speaker 6: absolute juggernaut and Wemby might be the best lottery win
19:19
Speaker 6: the NBA has seen since Lebron since. I mean like
19:23
Speaker 6: it is up there, if not further back, because of
19:27
Speaker 6: the super nova that he appears to be at twenty
19:29
Speaker 6: two crying on the floor going to the NBA Finals.
19:32
Speaker 6: I mean, that was an incredible display of maybe who's next,
19:37
Speaker 6: And it happened a little bit faster than any of
19:39
Speaker 6: us were expecting a.
19:40
Speaker 3: Little bit, absolutely, but now they have the pressure to
19:43
Speaker 3: win it all right, I mean that's that's kind of
19:44
Speaker 3: the flip side of this, or do they not because
19:46
Speaker 3: they're so young and they're kind of early and ahead
19:48
Speaker 3: of schedule, so all those things we'll get to break
19:50
Speaker 3: is just interesting.
19:52
Speaker 4: A lot of ways to parse that, for sure. Eight hundred,
19:55
Speaker 4: I mean eight seven seven, the seven nine seven seven
19:59
Speaker 4: nine four one Nicola dot Com talking text sign. We
20:03
Speaker 4: got some strays over the weekend of just people commenting
20:06
Speaker 4: about the Brewers after games.
20:08
Speaker 2: That's what I like to hear. Okay, yes, yes, lay
20:11
Speaker 2: them in there, let us let us start.
20:13
Speaker 4: They got it coming off their chest. So they're texting
20:15
Speaker 4: us even more, those.
20:16
Speaker 2: Guys, so you know on Monday, as this just doesn't happen,
20:19
Speaker 2: that's right, get the sound offline.
20:21
Speaker 4: But we will entertain your game balls and kicks to
20:24
Speaker 4: the balls that is coming up throughout the program. We're
20:26
Speaker 4: gonna hear Hunter Bombguard's recap of the Brewers series uh
20:31
Speaker 4: victory series clinching victory yesterday with mizuh and Hunter will
20:35
Speaker 4: join us live today on the Phonelock Hour.
20:38
Speaker 6: Join us in the seven o'clock hour back half of
20:40
Speaker 6: the six o'clock hour, Brian Butch, We'll be joining us
20:43
Speaker 6: coming up at six forty.
20:44
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be a.
20:45
Speaker 4: Dark coming up at six thirty. Yes, this is gonna
20:47
Speaker 4: be a nice, gentle Monday, to ease you into the week,
20:50
Speaker 4: ease you into the month of all the stuff that's
20:53
Speaker 4: happening this month. We will look ahead. We got Summerfest
20:55
Speaker 4: starting this month, we got the World Cup, we got
20:57
Speaker 4: the Brewers and Cubs play.
20:58
Speaker 2: It all happen.
20:59
Speaker 4: It's all happen, and you're in the huddle. Fox Sports
21:01
Speaker 4: Radio Wisconsin.
21:08
Speaker 1: Two nothing, Brewers on Bowers, ninth of the.
21:11
Speaker 4: Year, Brewers TV bringing us back. That's all it took.
21:19
Speaker 4: Rake Bowers with the Homer Miz on the mound, Brewers win,
21:23
Speaker 4: take a series again, you know, after a step back
21:27
Speaker 4: Saturday hoppin Wood Baby, but they just continue to just roll.
21:31
Speaker 6: A great month of May for the Brewers. It's pretty
21:34
Speaker 6: alarming when you look at alarming. Might be a little
21:37
Speaker 6: bit strong. However, how pedestrian their offense can look at
21:42
Speaker 6: times just very very painful, especially the runners in scoring
21:46
Speaker 6: position this series. But Jake Bauers last year hit let
21:50
Speaker 6: me make sure I have this right. Seven homers all
21:53
Speaker 6: of last year, He's got nine so far this year,
21:56
Speaker 6: and I mean it maybe isn't as staggering when you
21:58
Speaker 6: think of his at bats are pretty close to all
22:01
Speaker 6: of what he did a year ago. And he's played
22:04
Speaker 6: himself drew into a spot where like, I don't know
22:06
Speaker 6: how you can't have him in the lineup every single
22:10
Speaker 6: day because he's been one of their most consistent offensive
22:13
Speaker 6: performers and he's just we keep talking about carrying it
22:16
Speaker 6: in from what he did in spring training, but he
22:19
Speaker 6: also is finally able to put together what he did
22:22
Speaker 6: in the postseason into spring training into this year. All
22:25
Speaker 6: guys start clicking at certain times and they're finding a
22:28
Speaker 6: lot of positional versatility to make sure that Bowers continues
22:31
Speaker 6: to stay in the lineup with that sweet new shaved head.
22:34
Speaker 6: As Jeff Levering said yesterday, little mister and missus Smith
22:37
Speaker 6: Brad Pitt, look for Jake Bowers.
22:39
Speaker 2: Looks clean, looks good, looks ready for something.
22:42
Speaker 3: I didn't even recognize him, shaved head left field. I'm like,
22:44
Speaker 3: who is this guy? But the same stroke with the
22:46
Speaker 3: plate he's given you all year. You're right, Billy with
22:48
Speaker 3: eight more at bats. He's gonna match last year's total
22:51
Speaker 3: for the entire season, and now at thirty years old,
22:54
Speaker 3: he's having is you know, we talk about peak years
22:56
Speaker 3: for guys.
22:56
Speaker 2: And the kind of the course, the sine wave of
22:59
Speaker 2: a career. This is gonna be. This is it for him.
23:01
Speaker 3: I mean, this has been his peak year of his
23:04
Speaker 3: major league career. It's been his best year. It's generational
23:07
Speaker 3: for him, and hopefully it continues because his presence in
23:09
Speaker 3: the Brewers lineup has been invaluable, I would say, because
23:13
Speaker 3: if some of the inconsistencies we've had and injuries up
23:16
Speaker 3: and down, it's good to see Cherio get back on
23:17
Speaker 3: the home run Schneid again this weekend. But Jake Bowers
23:22
Speaker 3: has been so necessary for this team, and you're right,
23:23
Speaker 3: you can't really take him out of the lineup right now.
23:25
Speaker 3: And Billy for the guy who's we always joked about
23:28
Speaker 3: when he was about to get call, you know, was
23:30
Speaker 3: sent back down, would save his save his major league
23:33
Speaker 3: spot just in time. With a big run, he's kind
23:35
Speaker 3: of setting himself up for maybe something to go ahead
23:37
Speaker 3: in the future here, to stay on the team, or
23:39
Speaker 3: to be on a team, to get a contract because
23:41
Speaker 3: he's had a really nice year this year and hopefully
23:43
Speaker 3: it continues for the Brewers.
23:45
Speaker 4: Brewers have forty home runs as a team. He's got
23:48
Speaker 4: nine of them.
23:48
Speaker 6: How about that Brewers are thirtieth in homers. Yeah, and
23:52
Speaker 6: it's kind of by a decent margin, isn't it Like
23:54
Speaker 6: it's they've occupied that seller of home runs pretty cleanly.
23:59
Speaker 2: But again, what thirty four and twenty one? I guess.
24:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you guys would just hit some more
24:03
Speaker 6: home runs, I don't know, maybe you'd be.
24:04
Speaker 2: In first place.
24:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they'd be in first place. So they went
24:06
Speaker 4: from worse to first. They went from last to first
24:08
Speaker 4: in the month of May. That nineteen and seven to May.
24:10
Speaker 4: That's about as good as it's kind of get. You
24:12
Speaker 4: had put a couple of those on your ledger. I
24:15
Speaker 4: think they were a game under in April. So they
24:17
Speaker 4: had a losing month already, which is rare for the
24:20
Speaker 4: Brewers because they're pretty consistent. But man to be where
24:24
Speaker 4: they're at all things considered, and to watch, you know,
24:27
Speaker 4: the Cubs and Cardinals were on Sunday Night baseball, it's
24:29
Speaker 4: like who you cheering for? Just extra innings of gruesomeness,
24:32
Speaker 4: both teams making errors, giving up hits runs playing sloppy.
24:36
Speaker 4: Cardinals won that one, so.
24:37
Speaker 2: That was a lot of it.
24:38
Speaker 6: And then while on Saturday night too, PCA had his
24:41
Speaker 6: his coming out party and finally broke the curse of
24:44
Speaker 6: the young Lady behind at Socks Park, my May went
24:46
Speaker 6: four or five and he hit an absolute moonshot into
24:49
Speaker 6: the tarpsof section right after they were chanting overrated apparently
24:53
Speaker 6: at him. So that had to be pretty satisfying for PCA.
24:57
Speaker 6: But then you would think you ride that mojo right
24:59
Speaker 6: into it. Drumming on Sunday night baseball not so much.
25:02
Speaker 6: And instead of just the distance that the Brewers are creating,
25:07
Speaker 6: they're creating against everybody. Because the Reds they had a
25:10
Speaker 6: tough injury yesterday day. La Cruz pulled up lame going
25:13
Speaker 6: up around first base, so that's a difficult one for them.
25:17
Speaker 6: Pirates have looked a little bit more mortal, even after
25:19
Speaker 6: Brian Reynolds walk off this weekend. And yeah, Cubs and
25:22
Speaker 6: Cardinals get to beat up on each other and you
25:23
Speaker 6: just get to enjoy and I don't know, maybe cheer
25:25
Speaker 6: for the abs system.
25:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Cheering for the umpires doesn't feel
25:29
Speaker 2: like get used to it something. No, it doesn't.
25:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Pirates are the one. They did get a
25:33
Speaker 3: sweep over the weekend. I believe they took the w
25:35
Speaker 3: out of the Twins. If you guys saw that on
25:37
Speaker 3: social media, I don't know. That was kind of funny,
25:40
Speaker 3: that was all right, yeah, yeah, so that's happening. But
25:43
Speaker 3: the Brewers last year on June first, we're thirty two
25:45
Speaker 3: and twenty eight, so it is kind of interesting. You know,
25:48
Speaker 3: if you talk about pace, how ahead of the pace
25:50
Speaker 3: they are from last year. And obviously we know what
25:51
Speaker 3: happened last year, but you always talked about that thirty
25:54
Speaker 3: and four run they had last year, Drew and how
25:56
Speaker 3: that stuff just doesn't happen and it won't happen again,
25:58
Speaker 3: don't expect it. You're right, and seven is is pretty
26:01
Speaker 3: good and as good as you can expect for that
26:03
Speaker 3: type of run.
26:04
Speaker 2: Guys, I was kind of surprised. I sent this to Billy.
26:06
Speaker 3: I was walking around Market Campus a little bit this
26:09
Speaker 3: weekend because as you guys know, I was there for
26:10
Speaker 3: the reunion a little bit, and they had those ads
26:12
Speaker 3: on the sidewalk painted on the sidewalk for Sunday Night Baseball.
26:16
Speaker 3: It was super random I thought, I don't know, but
26:19
Speaker 3: I guess they're really trying to pimp NBC's Sunday Night
26:21
Speaker 3: Baseball and everything.
26:22
Speaker 2: Like that, so well and Marquet's hometown baseball team, the Sky.
26:25
Speaker 3: I think that, honestly, it might be part of it there.
26:27
Speaker 3: It's like rivalry in the central. I'm like, why is
26:29
Speaker 3: this here and why is this on? You know?
26:31
Speaker 4: Now?
26:32
Speaker 2: It was just so I tapped in for a little
26:35
Speaker 2: of the festivities. What was the bit? What what did
26:37
Speaker 2: you miss? Was there anything that you missed or were
26:40
Speaker 2: you my missed registration?
26:44
Speaker 3: I kind of hung out around town like and then like,
26:47
Speaker 3: well there was a there was a little event for
26:49
Speaker 3: us Friday night with a lot of our friends, and
26:51
Speaker 3: then I guess Saturday they have all these registered events,
26:54
Speaker 3: of which a bottles of patron getting.
26:57
Speaker 2: But you knew that wasn't real, right I was.
27:00
Speaker 3: I was waiting for you to call me out on that, Billy.
27:02
Speaker 3: Those were filled with water. That's how they served the
27:04
Speaker 3: water at this restaurant.
27:05
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm talking about. Spot.
27:08
Speaker 3: I was trying to look cool, but I don't know
27:09
Speaker 3: if it worked. But yeah, but you drink any tequila?
27:12
Speaker 4: Oh?
27:12
Speaker 2: I had a couple of drinks.
27:13
Speaker 4: It was a little bit of that.
27:17
Speaker 3: Drinks no margueritas, you know, did the margarita thing and
27:22
Speaker 3: then a little modello to finish it off. You know.
27:25
Speaker 3: But I didn't register for all the events, and I
27:28
Speaker 3: suppose you're supposed to register and actually pay the registration
27:32
Speaker 3: and be there.
27:33
Speaker 2: I just kind of hung around and we found my
27:35
Speaker 2: friends and then that that's what we did. So it
27:37
Speaker 2: was a good time.
27:37
Speaker 6: You weren't paying the forty bucks to go to the
27:39
Speaker 6: registration yees, to go to all the actual events.
27:41
Speaker 2: Missed me with that.
27:42
Speaker 3: Although they had a lot of nice stuff at the
27:43
Speaker 3: Spirit shop, let me tell you, but the prices these
27:46
Speaker 3: days are a little high for for your boy armit,
27:48
Speaker 3: so i'mn't have to wait for those, That makes sense.
27:53
Speaker 3: But that was interesting. I was, Uh, I was around
27:56
Speaker 3: town a bit. Did see those little little markers on
27:58
Speaker 3: the sidewalk for advertise Sunday night baseball, which was kind
28:01
Speaker 3: of odd, but well, it clearly worked. It stuck with you, Yeah,
28:04
Speaker 3: I guess, so I remembered it. I thought about it,
28:07
Speaker 3: and uh, and there you go. I didn't watch the
28:11
Speaker 3: game because of it. That would have been the next step.
28:13
Speaker 4: I watched about an inning, saw that the Cardinals were
28:16
Speaker 4: comfortably ahead, and went to bed knowing that the Burghers
28:18
Speaker 4: would be ahead of both teams in the standings this morning.
28:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, by a nice comfortable margagin. I I saw the
28:24
Speaker 6: Zach Brown band uh intro song to h to Sunday
28:28
Speaker 6: Night Baseball. Now, granted it is you know, May thirty first,
28:31
Speaker 6: Maybe I should have seen more Sunday Night Baseball for
28:33
Speaker 6: to start here with the American Family Field in the background.
28:36
Speaker 2: Did anybody know that that was happening?
28:37
Speaker 3: Oh?
28:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was all of a sudden, I'm like, wait
28:39
Speaker 6: a second, Wait a second, is that Bush Stadium? What
28:42
Speaker 6: do we doing Zach Brown hanging out here in the
28:44
Speaker 6: middle of in the middle.
28:45
Speaker 4: Of U and fill that. Yeah, there was a there
28:48
Speaker 4: was talk about how they slipped in the town. You
28:49
Speaker 4: missed that story. You must have been on vacation or something.
28:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just completely oblivious. No, but I heard as
28:55
Speaker 3: a banger of a song it's pretty good.
28:56
Speaker 1: Oh or no, Yeah, I don't know that.
28:58
Speaker 6: I'd say, I'd say one of his can find it, Yeah,
29:01
Speaker 6: you could, you can find It's not terrible. It was
29:03
Speaker 6: just you caught me off guard. I'm completely honest with you.
29:05
Speaker 6: I don't know that I heard many of the words.
29:07
Speaker 6: I'm looking and again a month and a half into
29:10
Speaker 6: the baseball season, realizing that this is the new intro
29:13
Speaker 6: to Sunday Night Baseball. Maybe I should have been watching
29:15
Speaker 6: more of it because everybody's watching Sunday Night Baseball. And
29:18
Speaker 6: then sweet, there's a there's amfam in the midst of
29:21
Speaker 6: the Central battle in the showdown, as you mentioned, they
29:24
Speaker 6: actually show the building where a lot of the winds
29:27
Speaker 6: happen in the NL Central.
29:28
Speaker 4: I enjoyed that part. Yeah, the U it was filmed.
29:31
Speaker 4: They slipped into town like there was there was like
29:34
Speaker 4: a casting call. You want to be an extra in
29:36
Speaker 4: this thing? Yeah, so Zach Brownpins came to American Family
29:42
Speaker 4: here because they're able to do that with the roof
29:44
Speaker 4: instead they did it.
29:45
Speaker 6: Well, that's nice that NBC at least didn't know that
29:48
Speaker 6: the Brewers are in Major League Baseball. That is good
29:50
Speaker 6: because I know they're not on the Sunday Night Baseball Tour.
29:53
Speaker 6: They're not actually going to stop there for one of
29:55
Speaker 6: the games, but they'll use the uh, they'll use the
29:57
Speaker 6: Friendly Confines for that way.
29:58
Speaker 2: All right, that was cool.
29:59
Speaker 4: We're I'm in the pump for for game balls and
30:01
Speaker 4: kicks to the balls eight seven, seven, seven nine three
30:05
Speaker 4: the Nicola dot Com talk and text line, and uh,
30:09
Speaker 4: from here's one from the seven to five. If borers
30:11
Speaker 4: could play third base, they'd have their problems solved at
30:13
Speaker 4: that position.
30:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true as long as he could play it, right.
30:17
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure, but that that is.
30:18
Speaker 2: That is. Look, that was the Ryan Brone spear when
30:20
Speaker 2: he was a rookie.
30:21
Speaker 4: Dan in West Bend. Call up Pratt and heyesuss and
30:23
Speaker 4: send down Renhefo and Ortiz. Yeah, problem solved. Call up
30:26
Speaker 4: a couple of rookies you've never played in the big
30:28
Speaker 4: leagues before.
30:28
Speaker 6: Well in the Renhetoh one's tough. You're definitely cutting him.
30:31
Speaker 6: Now the Ortiz one, I guess again. The I've been
30:35
Speaker 6: on the train for a while but have been continually
30:37
Speaker 6: told don't worry about it, like there's there's reason to
30:40
Speaker 6: believe you could get better at both of those spots.
30:43
Speaker 3: Uh.
30:43
Speaker 6: I don't know that swapping out a guy that's never
30:45
Speaker 6: played in Triple A before to come up in playing
30:48
Speaker 6: the major leagues is quite yet. But man, that that beat,
30:52
Speaker 6: that drum is gonna continue beating for my day. If
30:54
Speaker 6: he keeps raking like he is in the in the Miners,
30:57
Speaker 6: keep moving that dude up.
30:58
Speaker 4: Steve on the talking text line, do we bench Yelly
31:01
Speaker 4: and have Bowers and von flipflop DH? Yeah? Bench in
31:04
Speaker 4: Yelich is not a strategy I think the Brewers will pursue.
31:08
Speaker 6: No, But yesterday I thought at least it was its
31:11
Speaker 6: showcase that they think Bower is a better left fielder
31:13
Speaker 6: than Yelich's at this point, right, like playing Bowers into
31:17
Speaker 6: the outfield and keeping Yelich into the DH role as
31:21
Speaker 6: long as their bats are all in the lineup right,
31:23
Speaker 6: and you can now find ways for all of them
31:25
Speaker 6: to be you hope it doesn't mean that you have to.
31:28
Speaker 2: Keep Jackson Curio out of the lineup like that.
31:30
Speaker 6: Again, I would try and do everything you can to
31:33
Speaker 6: keep all of your best bats in the lineup and
31:35
Speaker 6: understanding that it's probably not gonna happen. But I thought
31:39
Speaker 6: that was the more interesting part of yesterday's lineup. When
31:45
Speaker 6: Bowers is playing out in left field in a small
31:48
Speaker 6: one of the smallest left fields that you're gonna have,
31:50
Speaker 6: albeit not maybe the easiest to navigate out there with
31:53
Speaker 6: the Crawford boxes. I thought that was pretty telling as
31:56
Speaker 6: to where they feel like Yelich's defenses and also where
31:59
Speaker 6: it might be hindering him going forward on the offensive
32:02
Speaker 6: side and trying keep him healthy.
32:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point, especially the health part, because
32:05
Speaker 3: he's been vocal in the past about how he likes
32:08
Speaker 3: playing out on the outfield every day and and sometimes
32:11
Speaker 3: some of the numbers indicated in his past that he
32:14
Speaker 3: was better batting if he was on the outfield. But
32:16
Speaker 3: I don't think that the health wise, billy, I think
32:18
Speaker 3: is to that point. So I think he'll have to
32:20
Speaker 3: figure out as a DH. Look, I mean, to have
32:22
Speaker 3: more options than not is always a good problem to have.
32:25
Speaker 3: I noticed no one said Hamilton's name after that big
32:27
Speaker 3: home run. You know he's got the power now, you
32:29
Speaker 3: know he's putting he's putting the homers out over the fence.
32:33
Speaker 3: That was interesting, you know, that was that was nice
32:35
Speaker 3: to see. But Mike Wentz as we needed another bat
32:37
Speaker 3: in the lineup for sure. Yeah, we're getting to uh,
32:40
Speaker 3: let's go get a bat season. You're gonna hear that
32:42
Speaker 3: a lot from fans as we get closer to the
32:43
Speaker 3: trade deadline. Brewers contending once again, well that is the
32:47
Speaker 3: question though, what do you need? Do you need and
32:49
Speaker 3: you definitely don't need pitching. Pitching's there, I mean you
32:51
Speaker 3: could always use bullpen. I think that's yeah, And then
32:55
Speaker 3: you know, you know, you look at it. Logic tells
32:58
Speaker 3: you that where the hole is the last at least
33:00
Speaker 3: offensively to the left side of the infield. Troy Casper
33:04
Speaker 3: on the YouTube stream put Bowers in right and bench sell,
33:08
Speaker 3: we don't.
33:09
Speaker 2: Hear that a lot.
33:09
Speaker 4: Don't hear that a lot? Yeah, he's really scuffling.
33:12
Speaker 3: Mm hmm big some of us talk about it, but yeah,
33:14
Speaker 3: he is scuffling. You ask yourself, Okay, well, is history
33:18
Speaker 3: our guide? Will he regrets to them? Mean? Willy figure
33:20
Speaker 3: it out. But then with the young players, you wonder
33:22
Speaker 3: what is the mean? I mean, do they have enough
33:24
Speaker 3: sample size? That's the battle and the internal battle.
33:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the problem. Game balls and kicks of the balls.
33:30
Speaker 2: Coming up.
33:30
Speaker 4: When we return, we're going to hear Hunter Bombgart's recap
33:33
Speaker 4: of the series clinching victory by the Brewers to nothing
33:36
Speaker 4: shut out yesterday. They're right back home for a quick
33:39
Speaker 4: one and then on the road. So four games against
33:41
Speaker 4: the Giants, who are not great. They will be in
33:44
Speaker 4: town beginning tonight.
33:46
Speaker 6: No, but William Damas has found his bat goodness gracious
33:49
Speaker 6: five times in the month of May.
33:51
Speaker 4: He bought me last night, right dude.
33:53
Speaker 6: And every single uh, every single member of that Giants
33:56
Speaker 6: offense had themselves a day yesterday because everyone.
33:59
Speaker 2: Got They put up the nineteen runs, the.
34:02
Speaker 4: Biggest offensive onslaught of the season in the MLB. Let's
34:05
Speaker 4: leave all of those runs again, Yahn's see what they
34:07
Speaker 4: do against the Brewers pitching. We'll see what the Brewers
34:10
Speaker 4: have in store. But the Giants are in town for
34:12
Speaker 4: four and then the Burrs get right back out on
34:14
Speaker 4: the road. Game balls and kicks the balls just around

Speaker 4: about my panthers and their journey which continues tonight in
35:29
Speaker 4: the NCAA Baseball tournament, which is fantastic.
35:33
Speaker 6: We've got actually continued this morning when that when that
35:37
Speaker 6: game final did from last night?
35:39
Speaker 4: Good lord, we have obviously the finals are set, we're
35:42
Speaker 4: still uh processing game seven and the Wembi factor And
35:46
Speaker 4: what does it mean to is Wemby on the clock,
35:48
Speaker 4: Like they're the the ESPN model one the ESPN model.
35:52
Speaker 2: Who's under more pressure to win? Wemby or the Knicks?
35:55
Speaker 4: Like the Knicks haven't been to the finals in thirty
35:56
Speaker 4: three years and the Spurs and Wemby are this is
35:59
Speaker 4: their first. By the Apple, I don't know that there's
36:01
Speaker 4: pressure on either side, like do or die, right, But
36:05
Speaker 4: I'm leaning Knicks because other than Wemby, the Knicks have
36:07
Speaker 4: the advantage in.
36:08
Speaker 6: Like every other category of experience and well talented and
36:12
Speaker 6: Andrew you said it as so who needs to capitalize
36:15
Speaker 6: on it more? I think all of us would anticipate
36:17
Speaker 6: that the Knicks might get back. I think everybody's believing
36:22
Speaker 6: the Spurs are going to be there for a number
36:24
Speaker 6: of different They're gonna be good for a while. So
36:26
Speaker 6: I don't know that there's that pressure. I mean there's
36:27
Speaker 6: pressure all time. You want to win a champion when
36:29
Speaker 6: you don't get these opportunities very often. Look at Oklahoma City,
36:32
Speaker 6: look at the Bucks a fart in the wind, you know,
36:34
Speaker 6: Boston a ton of them. How about Louke. I don't
36:37
Speaker 6: know if Luke Cornette was speaking to the media yet
36:40
Speaker 6: or if he had his full Brett Favre moment where
36:43
Speaker 6: he was just sitting there watching Joe Montana audibling in
36:47
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl? How cool would that be? Audible to
36:49
Speaker 6: the right pass and throw a deep ball in the
36:51
Speaker 6: in the Super Bowl. He must have just been watching
36:52
Speaker 6: Lebron's chase down block all day long, all day and
36:56
Speaker 6: goes and rejects Hartenstein for the play of the game.
36:58
Speaker 6: It's about to be a four point game right there,
37:00
Speaker 6: all energy and all momentum. With Wemby on the bench
37:03
Speaker 6: and five fouls in OKAC and in set, Hartenstein does
37:08
Speaker 6: the one thing Drew that the big men are never
37:11
Speaker 6: are always supposed to do. You get that ball, what's
37:13
Speaker 6: the first thing coach yells at You get into a guard?
37:16
Speaker 2: Find of guard, right, get it into a guard. Jason
37:19
Speaker 2: Wallace is running right on in front of him, saying, hey,
37:21
Speaker 2: excuse me, excuse me. I'm ready for it. No, No,
37:24
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take this. Yeah, you had a pretty good
37:26
Speaker 2: game going, so he thought, this is my time. This
37:28
Speaker 2: is my moment. It was supposed to be my turn.
37:30
Speaker 2: I'm Lebron, I'm mj I'm the Magic I'm the one.
37:33
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take it all the way and know and
37:34
Speaker 3: uh Cornett, you know, as sports as in life, the
37:38
Speaker 3: Cornet contest, that's good, that's I love that. And sports,
37:41
Speaker 3: as in life, a small moment can sometimes change in
37:44
Speaker 3: the middle of a game, in the middle of a moment,
37:45
Speaker 3: a small moment can.
37:46
Speaker 2: Change the course of history. That might have been it.
37:49
Speaker 2: I mean that changed momentum.
37:50
Speaker 3: Like you said, Billy, they could have been a four
37:52
Speaker 3: point game the entire wrestling and Cornett knew and that
37:55
Speaker 3: Bench knew when he made that play. That was his
37:57
Speaker 3: magnum opus. That was his big moment. Well, he came
38:00
Speaker 3: back with that hero is Welcome of What a feeling
38:03
Speaker 3: that's got.
38:03
Speaker 6: Do you think he was a similar Heroes Welcome to
38:05
Speaker 6: when he contested Magic City Night.
38:08
Speaker 2: It might have been because that was gonna be his legacy.
38:11
Speaker 2: That was his legacy. He flipped it all in one
38:13
Speaker 2: chase down block.
38:14
Speaker 6: He's gonna be now known for that block instead of
38:16
Speaker 6: being the prude that said we can't have a strip
38:19
Speaker 6: club celebrated at the Atlanta Hawks.
38:21
Speaker 3: Cat. I'll be honest, when he said all that about
38:24
Speaker 3: Magic City, I kind of wondered, like, how does teammates
38:27
Speaker 3: feel about that?
38:27
Speaker 2: Like, what kind of cashides this guy? Dud people?
38:29
Speaker 3: You know, he's clearly has the likability factor amongst his
38:32
Speaker 3: teammates when they congratulated him coming back, you clearly are
38:35
Speaker 3: happy for a guy that has his moment right there.
38:38
Speaker 3: But also it is kind of classic, Like, Okay, that
38:40
Speaker 3: does change his legacy a little bit. He's still now
38:43
Speaker 3: an anti Magic City guy. But he had that one
38:45
Speaker 3: play in Game seven of the Western Finals.
38:47
Speaker 4: So getting the door prices on the secondary market, which
38:49
Speaker 4: Billy is always following, always getting the door for Game one,
38:54
Speaker 4: thirteen hundred and seventy five dollars.
38:56
Speaker 2: It has gone down significantly, gone down significantly.
38:59
Speaker 4: That's Game one, But that's those are the games in
39:01
Speaker 4: San Antonio, m HM, Game three in New York. Get
39:04
Speaker 4: in the door just a tick under five thousand dollars, man,
39:08
Speaker 4: I mean under significantly.
39:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand that might be satting the market and stuff,
39:12
Speaker 3: but scarcely started.
39:13
Speaker 2: At thirty five hundred from what it was on Saturday night.
39:16
Speaker 4: Game three and Game four are Yeah, it dips for
39:19
Speaker 4: Game four forty three hundred dollars and the Game six.
39:21
Speaker 4: In New York, UH tickets start at five three and
39:25
Speaker 4: forty nine dollars.
39:26
Speaker 6: A reason to celebrate and be happy and smile about
39:28
Speaker 6: where we live. I believe I paid just under or
39:31
Speaker 6: just over six hundred for a get in the door
39:34
Speaker 6: ticket to Game three of the Finals when it was here,
39:37
Speaker 6: a little bit different circumstance in the market.
39:39
Speaker 2: It's funny.
39:39
Speaker 3: I was talking to some friends just this weekend, what
39:41
Speaker 3: like what the highes you'd pay for a game?
39:42
Speaker 2: And is what is too much?
39:44
Speaker 3: Because we were talking about how the finals tickets are
39:46
Speaker 3: going to be crazy in New York just because of
39:48
Speaker 3: the scarcity, right and the social capital that goes along
39:51
Speaker 3: with it. And you're right, Billy, it's five hundred for
39:53
Speaker 3: a finals ticket here. I mean, were you know Madison
39:57
Speaker 3: Square gardens exciting? I was there for the biggest tournament.
39:59
Speaker 3: But that's a a lot of coin to get in
40:01
Speaker 3: for the finals. But they've been waiting a long time
40:02
Speaker 3: for this in the in the Big Apple. So it'd
40:06
Speaker 3: be interesting to see how that market changes. But I
40:08
Speaker 3: can't imagine it's gonna come down too much because it
40:10
Speaker 3: looks like it went up right. The market was set
40:12
Speaker 3: and people want to be there and they want to
40:14
Speaker 3: experience it, and they don't know how long. Some people
40:16
Speaker 3: seem to not know how long this series will go.
40:19
Speaker 3: But I think that's the other interesting factor. I think
40:20
Speaker 3: it might be an interesting series and it might go
40:24
Speaker 3: deeper than people think. There's an assumption that's just gonna
40:26
Speaker 3: be San Antonio rolling by a lot, but I'm not
40:28
Speaker 3: really sure about that. To your point, Dreiro quipped to
40:31
Speaker 3: a right good run.
40:32
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to Hunter Bombgart's recap of the
40:35
Speaker 4: Milwaukee Brewers weekend because Hunter is going to join us
40:37
Speaker 4: today at seven thirty, that's an hour after Butch he
40:40
Speaker 4: joins us and with Scott'slpin will be with us the
40:42
Speaker 4: next hour. Hunter Bombgart his recaps brodjes by import Minded
40:46
Speaker 4: take it away, Hunter.
40:47
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. The Brewers get another series win.
40:50
Speaker 5: They take two out of three in Houston, finishing up
40:52
Speaker 5: with a two to nothing win over the Houston Astros
40:54
Speaker 5: yesterday afternoon. Jake Bauer is providing the power with a
40:57
Speaker 5: home run. Jacob is Arowski again was brilliant fifty seven
41:00
Speaker 5: strikeouts in the month of May. That's the most by
41:02
Speaker 5: any Brewers pitcher in any one month in franchise history.
41:06
Speaker 5: Brewers only lost one series in May. That was the
41:08
Speaker 5: two out of three they lost the Dodgers. Otherwise, they
41:11
Speaker 5: were nineteen and seven in May at two fifty two
41:14
Speaker 5: ERA as a team in May. That's the best in baseball.
41:17
Speaker 5: They went from last place on May fourth to first
41:20
Speaker 5: place by four and a half games coming into this morning.
41:23
Speaker 5: Boy absolutely on a roll. Also, so the Cardinals took
41:26
Speaker 5: two out of three from the Cubs over the weekend.
41:28
Speaker 5: Little stat for you, the White Sox have a better
41:30
Speaker 5: record than the Cubs heading into June. Who would have
41:34
