  Speaker 1: this little program of ours the Huddle.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a hard, hard one to beat on
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: a buy or sell Tuesday. There's no way you could
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: purchase a better Brewers hour. Absolutely a day of Wilson
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Contrera's hate that we get on this beautiful Tuesday in
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the good Land.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, and we welcome to the program our pal Hunter Bombguard,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: who is ready for us to present all of our
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Brewer stuff. He's also gonna host the Baseball pregame show
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: from four thirty to five thirty tonight, and Hunter's appearances
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: are broad to just by import minded, your trust and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: choice for exceptional vehicle. Check them out South twenty seventh,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: just north of eight ninety four. Good morning, Hunter, thank
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you for getting up early with us.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no problem, Good morning guys. And yeah, last night
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: was a wild one at Fenway. That game seemed like
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: it had everything.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Just about everything that it possibly could. Some defensive gems,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: some defensive gifts that happened from the from the Red
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Sox and American hero Roman Anthony, but also just hunter throughout
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: all of it, and we're gonna let you take the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: victory lap on Gary Mitchell, no doubt about it. But
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: when when the Brewers are going to be able to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: start eight and two, there's always gonna be a recipe
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: for it. The one that kind of gets just baked
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in always would be, Hey, Christian, Yeli's probably gonna be awesome.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Are we appreciating just how good of a start to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a year Yelich is having last night the base running,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the comments after the game, calling it a skit, one
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: of my favorite things I've ever heard him say. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it just we've seen him grow so much, but I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: don't know that we've seen him to start a year
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: as white hot as he is, And I don't know
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that it's getting nearly the kind of attention that it deserves.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: No, it should, Like you said a few minutes ago,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: you know, six multi hit game. He just continues to
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: tear the cover off the baseball. But also he's playing
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: well in every fast that we know. The base running,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you know, Pat Murphy loves to really call out two
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: things in his postgame press conference is the most right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: We always got to give credit to William contreres.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: We know that, right, Okay.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: So that's one of the things, probably the top thing
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Pat Murphy likes to do in a postgame press conference.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: But the second is commenting on Yelich's base running and
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: talk about how much he is a leader in that category.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: And it's not necessarily you know, firing guys up in
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: the clubhouse for base running. It's leading by example. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: that's what he did again last night with the base running,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: talking after the game, saying on that throw by Roman Anthony,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I knew I wanted to round second and try to
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: get to third, to try to draw a throw to
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: third so Terin could score. I mean, that's what's going
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: through his mind as he's rounding second. Well, it turns
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: out Roman Anthony through it to you know, the Atlantic Ocean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: and then Yelich was able to get in and slide
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: home safely. So like that's what he's thinking about in
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: those situations. But boy, and you see the emotion he
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: had obviously with the game winning home run against the
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: White Sox, the emotion he had after he doved to
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: dove in safely to home plate last night. He just
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: seems like a man on a mission in this season,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and it just seems like he is locked in.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: As much as ever. I think he proved to himself last.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Year that he could do it at this level again,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, as much as we want to say,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: those types of guys have confidence in themselves no matter what.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: There's no doubt.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that it waned a little bit over that
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: time where he was going through that back injury.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Last year.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: He came out and he had a really good season,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: you know, especially offensively, and so he proved that he
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: could do that. And now he's doing it again, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I think he's playing with that confidence behind him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I think the whole team is.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But I think he is a great example of that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: and so far he's been everything you want out of him.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Hard to script a better start for the Brewers. They're
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: eight and two, they've won every series. The best way
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to win a series, especially on the road, win the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: opening game. Mission accomplished miss on the Mount tonight. But
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: back to last night, Hunter, what was your take on
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Brandon Woodruff's outing. It was like a mixed bag, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: his pitch count was low enough to get him into
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the sixth. Then he almost got through the sixth. What's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: your take on where what he's at.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't love, like, you know, the hard contact
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: he was getting at times, you know, the hits off
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: the Green Monster and everything like that. But there was
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: also some just luck that the Red Sox ran into.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I think their first run was a bloop and had
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: a couple of more of those. But what I've liked
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: about the first two outings is he's gotten better as
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the outing has went on, and he's gotten stronger as
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: the as the outing has went on. That velocity sometimes
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: is even higher later in the outing than it is early,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and I think it just that you know, he's he's
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: he had that kind of I know, Josh and Vinnie
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: on the TV broadcast were talking last night. He's kind
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: of got that look in his eye, and he had
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: it in that fifth and sixth inning, like, I know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: this bullpen is thin tonight. I know I need to
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: give this team length and I'm going to go out
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and do it, you know, whether you like it or not.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what he did.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: He retired his last six So the fact that he,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: you know, is still I think learning how to pitch
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: comparatively to what he used to do and how he
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: used to do it, but still able to get guys
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: out in the later innings of his outing. I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: it's one of those where you don't necessarily look at
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: the box score, right, the box score is not gonna
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: is gonna tell you he didn't have a great outing,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: and by all accounts he it wasn't a great outing, right,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: nobody's gonna call it a great outing, but it was
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: a solid outing as an ounting the Brewers needed, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: with the offense they have, if you could just keep
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: them in the ballgame, you're in a good spot.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: His five runs always gonna keep you in a ball game,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: not necessarily so obviously we want him to pitch better,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and especially a guy. I know people are gonna point
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: to the money, right, the twenty two million dollars, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: for his first two starts of the year, for trying
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: to still get his footing, I think here in April,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I love the way he showed he can battle last
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: night and still stay in it even though he had
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: a few rough endings. And that's a veteran pitcher, right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: that's a guy who's been there, done that doesn't get
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: lost in the fray. That contraras is that Wilson Contreras
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: is trying to bring him into stays focused and is
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: able to complete a five and two thirds outing out
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: a night they needed it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Hunter, you mentioned the money.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a conversation with what he all year long,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: because it always is. He beats William or Wilson Contreras
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: one more time, sign him a two years fifty million,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: give him an extension because that was phenomenal. But like
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you hear the comments after the game, clearly there's no
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: love loss for the guy in the in the Brewers
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: locker room. Understandably so. And I think a large portion
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of it. We've heard Murph say it a couple of times.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: He's like, I know for a fact, my man was
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: talking to me a couple of times right like back
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: in the day when they'd be getting into different dust
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: ups with the Cubs. He was right there in the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: center of continuing the conversation and rolling it through. But
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: to be able to battle through the disjointedness of last night,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you mentioned that the game kind of had everything that's
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a total Brewers win. Of you get four runs in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a rally where the ball doesn't leave the infield, it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: hard when you're at your peak to have anything throw
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you off your game. But just how impressive was that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: from the team to not only the woodrooff Contrara's interaction
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in the bob, but also David Hamilton in the slide
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that happened right after. How impressed were you of they're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: able their ability to just kind of compartmentalize that, put
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: that to the side and go still finish off the game.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I mean they really just kind of shrugged it off, right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: It was just all right, we're gonna come back and
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: beat you anyway.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: And then they did.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: And now the Red Sox are sitting there at two
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: and eight, and even you know, Contraras's antics didn't work
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: to get them a win. I think, first of all,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: it's one thing to get upset when you get hit, right,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: It just I I in the moment. Okay, maybe I
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: give a little bit, like a little bit of grace
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to Wilson Contreras for getting mad, But again it's first
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: and second nobody out. And then what he comes over
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and asks the home plate umpire like did it hit him?
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: So that was right clearly evidence that he didn't try to.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: And then the Brewers challenged to hit my pitch. So
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: all of that happens, and then postgame Wilson's all still
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: mad about it, like, buddy, he wasn't trying to load
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: the bases with nobody out.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I do think it's wild that he's hit him twenty
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: four times, right or not would have specifically, but the
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Brewers have hit him twenty four times, Like that's wild,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: like six right, There is some of that, but I
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: don't necessarily think he's trying to load the bases at
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: that time.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: And then the slide.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I get it that it was legal because he stayed
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: in contact with the bass and all that, and he
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: slid into the base, and you could argue where hamlet
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: is spike up. It was a spike up and clearly right,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: but they're not gonna call it because he stayed in
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: contact with the bass and the rule and all that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: But so I.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Think the postgame comments were even even maybe worse than
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the antics on the field, just because like, okay, I mean,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: just like people were kind of saying on social media
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Grow up, right, like this is just we're over this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: We're over this.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: This doesn't need to happen every time you play the
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee Brewers and then to say you're going to take
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: someone out if they hit you again, I mean, come
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: on now. Secondly, the Brewers are just really good at
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: being this season so far. Are just they know who
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: they are and they know that they can come back
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: to win any game because they did it last year
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: and they know their formula to win. And when a
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: team knows their formula to win, lookout. Because this Pat
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Murphy sent after the game last night, like every game
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: leads you to what your identity is, I think this
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: team knows what their identity is already and they're showing
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: it and they're going out and doing it every night
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: with the confidence of the last two years behind them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Because they've done it before.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: So I think this team knows and has the confidence
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that they can come back and to kind of let
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: all the antics go to the side and not worry
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: about that because at the end of the day, the
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Brewers are there to win a ballgame and they've done
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: it eight out of ten times.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: We are talking to Hunter bombguart Our, go to man
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: for all things Brewers. He is of course going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: host the Baseball pregame show beginning at four thirty today,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: getting you ready for Game two, Red Sox Brewers, Electric.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Boogaloo, miss on the mound.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I'll say this about William Paturros, for all this jack assery,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he's the best player on the field. Yesterday three free well,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: so yeah, definitely was yesh three for three with a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: hit by pitch and a walk, a double and a homer.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It works for him, right like it worked. It works
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to get yourself going, that's for sure. He definitely was
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: able to get get the squad rolling and get himself going,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: which is the part of the reason you do it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that that big part of the reason.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And so he we still have to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: deal with him. Maybe he'll take Wednesday off and Hunter.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: My theory of the case is that tonight nothing will happen.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think miss is going to buz the tower. Now,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: mis might hit contrast just because Miss miss a little wild,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a little wild, but I need to.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: End of the zero of the back.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: When you go into baseball games expecting fireworks, you're often disappointed.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So my default setting is nothing will happen today. If
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, it will be the last game of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this series. But that's a day game. Getaway game and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Wilson might not even play.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, I And I don't know if I don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: know if the birds are necessarily in the you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: trying to feed into that fire. Obviously, yell it's saying
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: that this is the same skit we've seen for ten years.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Just a fantastic quote. I think that I don't know
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: if they're necessarily trying to fan those flames. I also
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: don't the whole contrasts brothers thing is another dynamic to this,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: where like you really think your brother's team is trying
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: to be in you all the time. Like if if
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: William wasn't on the team, like maybe I'd understand. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: just like, I just got to wonder what williams. What's
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: going through William's mind as he's escorting his brother to
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: first base, as he's as would you just standing there
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: asking the umpire if he hit him or not? Like
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I like, I just that is, you know, Wilson said
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: last night after the game that he and William don't
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: talk about it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they've had a discussion or two about you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the twenty four hit by pitches and maybe texted a
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: little last night or saw each other after the game.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: But I just I don't know that adds a whole
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: different demelo, you know, dimension to this as well.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Now let's talk about your favorite guy, and as we've
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: had a lot of different players that have had nice
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: starts of the year, some that haven't had great starts.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Now there's one individual that had himself two walks and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: no hits in on opening day, and we're disappointed about
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that if you're in a hit parlay. He had a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Cup one game where he had the golden sombrero. Otherwise,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Garrett Mitchell's been pretty awesome. He has the five RBI
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: day on Saturday. In game one last night, just places
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the ball perfectly into the outfield. I think the swinging
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: bunt might have been even my more favorite hit of
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: his through the night. Just how in command have you
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: seen him? Hunter, Because you've flown the Garrett Mitchell fan
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: flag for a while, believing like the tools are there,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: give it some time. We're gonna give it more time.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: His nine game or ten games in however, the fear
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: of him playing a different way, it does seem like
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: he is learning himself, learning his body and those cautions
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: early that you could see were a little bit noticeable
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: have kind of taken a little bit of a backseat.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: That's the thing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I think the giving him time is the biggest thing here,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: and I still, like you said, I still give him time. Look,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: the strikeouts are not great, right, there's you know, there
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: are some at bats that aren't looking that are looking
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: kind of ugly at times. I think he had three
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: strikeouts before he came up with that clutch hit late
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: last night. He left guys on base early in that game, right,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: So obviously that is a part of his game and
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: has been a part of his game. The strikeouts that
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: need to be corrected, and isn't necessarily always sustainable if
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: you're striking out that much, but he is definitely coming
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: through when it's needed, and he cleanup hitter needs to
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: come through.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Right. He was put fourth in the lineup last night.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: There have been times where he's bet fifth, and you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: especially on that homestand where it's like, wow, Garrett Mitchell's
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: fifth in the lineup, And I think, what I like, Yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: what I like seeing? And I think we got obviously
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: the poor results out of Garrett Mitchell. If you look
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: at the box scores in spring training, and I think
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: that's partly because he was just getting adjusted to pitching
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: again after being out for so long. And Pat Murphy
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: said on Saturday, we love the honesty from Pat Murphy. Right, Look,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't think he was ready. In the front office
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: said we think he is, and they went with the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: front office's take on that. And so far, he leads
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: the team in RBIs and he's tied for the MLB
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: lead in RBIs and that's a key stat obviously, because
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: that's driving in runs. As much as you strike out,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you're also you know, has been clutched so far, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: especially on the road trip. So I think he's showing
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: the potential. I don't think he's you know, I don't
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: think he's totally to that ceiling yet because he's striking
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: out as much as he is right now.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: But I think you're seeing some of that potential.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: And why I've just been I've just been high in
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: the guy because I think he has a ton of
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: talent in there and I think you're seeing some of that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: And as Pat Murphy said on Saturday, it's you could
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: see some of that what he can do, and it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: pretty special. You just also want to see those strikeouts
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: go down and if they can and if and I
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: think they will once he gets a little more into
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: the season, gets a little more you know, feed under
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: him playing every day. Lockridge is battling a little hip
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: thing right now. So I think that's leading to more
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: playing time. And I'd like it to him to be
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: that everyday guy, because I think the more consistent playing time,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: the more you could see out of Garrett Mitchell.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: All Right, you mentioned Lockridge and the hip.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Perfect perfect segue for our injury report, brought to us
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: by Orthopedic Associates Wisconsin. Ortho Wisconsin dot com, the best
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in the business world class care right here at home.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Ortho Wisconsin dot com. Orthopedic Associates, Wisconsin. There is a difference.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: When I heard that Freelick had tightness on his side,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh, here's an oblique, there's an injured eyeell
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: stint coming. And then I realized, oh, they're going to Boston.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: You need wild horses to keep him away from the field.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: There's no shots when they're playing at home. And then
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: lo and behold, there he is yesterday. Two hits, scored,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a run, knocked one in typical Salfreelick right hunter.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, typical Sealfree.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: It's just great to see him back in the lineup
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: first because you, like you said, when you leave with
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: tightness in your side, it's not great. But it sounded
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: like Freelick was like, yeah, I could have stayed in,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: you know, on Saturday night. Of course he'll he'll stay
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: in through anything. But and then you know Pat Murphy's
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: saying Sunday that Salfrila could have played. It's like, all right,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: it looks like we're trending in the right direction. And
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: then last night he plays and he's productive and closes
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: in on a key catch there late in the game.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: As well.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: That that outfield at Fenway Park is different than any
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: other park in the Big League, So he's covering a
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: lot of ground out there, and you saw that some
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: of those balls that dropped as well, they talked about
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: like some soft contact against woodrow or whatever like some
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: of those. It's just so much, so much ground to
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: cover out there.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: For sale.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Even sal who has a lot of great speed and
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: great jumps and great closing speed, couldn't necessarily get to him.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: But great to see him out there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Good to you know, they need him out there in
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: a game in an outfield like that at Fenway Parks.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah, he is, he's and it's good to see
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: him starting to be productive, you know, just because he
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: had a rough homestand to start the season.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: So good to see him getting his footing.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Look, people are gonna go through slumps, right, They're gonna
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: be guys up and down throughout the entire season. It
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: seems Salm might have had hopefully his biggest slump coming
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: out of the gates, and he's slowly coming out of it,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: which is good.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: All right, buy or sell question for the panel here?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Are you buying or selling that?
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: On?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Hell zerp can be the bigger left handed pitching acquisition
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: that the Brewers got this year because Kyle Harrison's been awesome.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I love the talent and I think long term obviously
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: value different for four or five years of control that
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have there. But are you buying that because
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: he has been nails? I know, the solo shot to
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Contrerists last night just just landed. But phenomenal, phenomenal start
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: for him, and I think this guy is kind of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the limit for where he can go.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Hunter.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're seeing why they gave up a couple of
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: guys for him, right, They gave up Merors, they gave
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: up Collins, and you know, not necessarily two All stars,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: but two significant contributors to last year's team. But first
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: career saved last night, especially if Jared Kaning is out
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: for a longer period of time.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: That is the role. I think.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I kind of see Serpa and where you could throw
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: them out a leverage roll seventh inning, then you get
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: to your rebay that you get to McGill or like
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: last night, where your rebe McGill likely down, let's throw
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: them out in the ninth, or let's throw them out
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: in the eighth, kind of what kaneg will They work
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: him as much as Kanig will see Kataig worked a
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: lot in the last couple of years. But I think
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: he is a He's a guy who's going to get
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: that and has already gotten that leverage role and he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: shined in it. I think the World Baseball Classic showed
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: you that he can be in that leverage role, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I think that's exactly what he's done so far. So
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm excited for to see what he can do
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: because he's been dominant. Like you said, you give up
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: a home run last night. Learned from it, move on,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: like if they are going to give him run, like
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: oh yeah, right, yeah, exactly, it's gonna happen. So I
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: really like what I've seen from him. And I think
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: that Jared kaneig role if he's out, could be even
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: if he's not out, could be. Also, how about Grant
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Anderson as well, kind of that unsung hero so far
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: for the crew. He's been pitching some leverage innings, a one,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: two three late inning last night, So maybe you see
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: him as another guy who could be kind of that
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: surprise in that bullpen, but as a lefty boy.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look out for Sarapah.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the fact that he could close that out.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: It's funny because when you're pitching the night, that brings
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: its own layer of pressure. Just as I was thinking
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: about with Garrett Mitchell too. It's something psychologically some guys
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: when they're batt and forth, they kind of put more
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: pressure on themselves for some reason.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Right, Like inherently there are human beings under the caps too,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: that's a big part of it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's just those roles come with extra weight
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: in some you know, in some measure.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you see Sarapah like I like the Cane
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: in comparison, and I always go back to the best bullpen,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: one of the best bullpens that I can think of
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: that they had, which was in twenty eighteen when you
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: had a Jefferis Canable and Hater, and Hater wasn't really
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the closer at that point. He kind of came in
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: whenever you desperately needed to shut something down. If you
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: have three guys and they you know that McGill and
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Ribe are right there near the top of that, but
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you're kind of hoping for somebody to take that third role,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: and they wanted it to be Ashby. I think he
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: kind of was that last year, but they desperately need somebody,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and it does feel like Sarapa is right there near
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the top of the good can grab that role. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: sure you don't want to throw it maybe Hoddra, like
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you said as much as Kane, because I think we're
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: seeing the effects of that now.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Potentially with Jared.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: But the more you can work them and the more
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get out of him, it feels like they've
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: kind of got a.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Horse totally, and and it just it's another find by
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the front office. Saying, you know, we like this guy
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: over in Kansas City. What can we give up to
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: him to get to get back? You know, obviously we'll
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: see what kind of years Nick Mears and Isaac Collins have,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: but it's so far looks like it might be hard
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: to beat the year that that on Hill Sarah had. Again,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: it's really early, but the potential and what the Brewers
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: can do with their pitchers and turning turning them into
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: gold as we've seen you like whenever they bring in
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: a guy. I know we talk a lot about the
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: starting pitching, but the bullpen is the same thing where
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: they bring in a guy and he just flourishes in
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: whatever role. It seems that Pat Murphy has said that
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: he's not necessarily saying one guy is a closer, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: McGill is the guy until until further notice, right, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: he's done pretty well so far. But I think it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: great when you also have, like you said, you have
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: other guys who can fill that late enning role too,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Abner Rebay and obviously on hell Serpa and Grant Anderson
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: starting to slowly but surely put his name into the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: hat for a late ending role too.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: When you have more options than not. It's big for
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: a bullpen.
• 21:15

• 22:00
  Speaker 2: But Hunter Bombguard being the being the pregame show host
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: later on tonight. It has now become a little bit
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of a mainstay in the house. Drew And while Hunter
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: just throws fastballs of information in Brewers knowledge, the three
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: year old just tries to hit as many home runs
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: as possible through it, So I appreciate the potential babysitting
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: that Hunter is going to give us coming up from
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: four thirty to five thirty. That's very much welcomed in
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: that huge it's huge news.

  Speaker 1: By the way, Brewers eight and two with a run
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: differential of plus thirty after ten games.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: That seems good.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Did that seems like a positive stat You hear the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: different drew like Serpa as a guy that obviously they
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: identify and wanted and clearly knew what they were hoping
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to do tonight, seeing Miz like it feels like kind
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: of put him into the finished product category right the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: first full years in the majors. Last year he was
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: not always great away from American family field, right outside
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: of his comfort. I'm excited to see how he handles
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: it tonight because if it's as cold as it was
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: last night, he's probably gonna have to live right around
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: what ninety nine to ninety eight, still a pretty good
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: spot for him to live. But I'm interested to see
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: how he handles it tonight because him and Crochet is
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal matchup.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: It gonna be fun, no question about it.

• 26:03
  Speaker 2: be the MVA of the neighborhood thanks to the friends
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: at Curent Electriccall Current dot com from actually a two
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: part conversation with Lori and Jannis, and the second part
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: dropped yesterday, and it's a Q and A.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: She's asked some.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Questions, and that's a great way to do it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: You got somebody who's in a controversial situation, no editorializing,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: just my question. Your answer and her question was people
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: thought you had Adrian Griffin fired, people thought you had
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Doc Rivers hired.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: People thought you had Drew Holliday traded. It goes on
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: and on and on.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: You run the whole thing, and Nis sarcastically said, I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: do I have so much time.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I'm so good at my job.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I have four kids and a wife, right, and my
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: mom was with me in the same property, right, so
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I have time to run everything. There's only twenty four
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: hours a day. And also, if this is what they believe,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I should get paid more. I don't know what the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: salary of a GM is. I should get the salary
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of a GM. I should get the salary of a coach.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I should get more. Sorry, if that's what they believe,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I should get more. But it doesn't matter what they believe.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I know what is the truth. So he was sarcastically
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: deflecting the criticism that he has input. I do remember
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: when the hard Budenholzer he had like breakfast with Jannis
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and Chris.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Jannis and Chris right before they.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, they got him hired and they had to sign
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: off on it. It's like that more of a courtesy
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: thing or you know, more.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Of them makes sense?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Will this work? Conversation player on the team at the time, right,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, but youth doesn't necessarily change the experience
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and the level of gravitas on the team. That the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: butt one is tough for me to say that he
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: had a massive hand in making that move. But the
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Griffin one, there was so much reported about the want
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: to have in the the belief of former players being coaches,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and there was so much of that drum beat that
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: it's hard for me to not think he had at
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: least a bigger say than just a passing finger, you know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: thumbs up to it. But the again, you might not
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: have made the move behind closed doors, Drew. But there
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: were also a lot of quotes that were out into
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the public of saying, hey, man, I don't know what
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: our game plan is.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Do we have one? Do we have a plan? Is
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: what we're doing on offense and what we're doing on defense.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: They might not have pulled the exact lever, but they
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: definitely allowed you to figure out where the scope was going.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: They might not have pulled the trigger, but they were
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: lining everybody up to be able to see what the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: issues were in that handoff. So I don't know that
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: there's full blood on anyone's hand for that, but there
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: would be some I would think on the Drew Holiday
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: one to Damian Lillard trade that one, I'm a little
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: bit more skeptical, but I do appreciate just in joke.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Just push it with a joke and see if we
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: can just change this part of the conversation. Let's move
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: this one off to the side, because I you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I may have known that they were going to do that,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't me.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: It wasn't me.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: As we're working through this, Giannis Laurie Nichol said, you
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: want to be put in a position to succeed.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: He said, yeah, exactly?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Is it bad for me saying I'm thirty one years old,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I won the championship when I was twenty six years old.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Then the question creeps in your head like did I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: wait too long? Did I do the right thing? And
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Laurie said, did you wait too long?
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: For?
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: What?
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: He said? Being here staying in Milwaukee.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: That's the money quote right there. There's a lot of
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: different ones, but that's a huge sh But then I'm like, no,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: this is what I want. I want to be here,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I want to be with my team. I want to
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: win here again. This is my home.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: I've spent more years here that I can remember than
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: in Greece. It's my home. I want to out the
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: community with my wife and my brothers.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Thanasas has loved here, my brother, my mother has loved here,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: my kids and I. It's a normal life. I have
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: a normal life. If you go somewhere else, all this switches.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: But I don't want to look back and be like
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: So that's when he said, this is why you have
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: conversations with the all time greats like Kevin Garnett. Derk
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Novitsky was in the same position, chose to stay. We'll see,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: We'll see what's going to happen.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Those are the two the best probably examples, drew of
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the guys of the modern era that you could look
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: at both sides of the argument. Right, yep, did kg
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: last say a little bit too in Minnesota?
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Did he get off at the right time?
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: He obviously ends up finally winning the title that he
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: desperately wanted, and Dirk, you know their teams were better
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: late into his career. But what was Dirk thirty three,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: thirty four when they finally won the title, like that
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: was near the end where he ultimately didn't sign a
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: bunch of different extensions. And when she asked, asked Giannis,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Laurie Nicol that being how bad is the riff between
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you and the team and you not being able to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: play down the stretch and being held out.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I've been hurt, said Giannis. I was on a minister
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: restriction when I came back. But I don't But why
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: don't I play now to keep my value high so
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I can get traded. I don't care if that's the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: right thing. I don't care if it's the smart thing.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I don't I just want to play. This is what
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I do. And I again, I hadn't even thought about
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: it as much. And maybe this is just blinders being
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: on being in Milwaukee, but it to me didn't seem
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: and never was really about them holding his value. I
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: thought it was more of he had five different injuries
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: during the year, and at some point you have to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: cut your losses with a year that was going to
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: be a lost one. Anybody goes on to say, when
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I play, when I'm able to play, I didn't sit
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: out my first season when we only won fifteen games.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Why when it was the NBA Finals, did I come
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: back six days after my hyper extension. Why it doesn't change.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: This is who I am, and now you're telling me
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: to go against my nature. I get that you would
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: feel at some sort of way about that, but Dre,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I just I don't. I never saw it, And again
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: maybe it's more naivete on my part, but it wasn't
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: as much about the draft pick to me as much
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: as him being able to still be able to be
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the best player he wants to be in twenty six
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, because this year was clearly not going to
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: be a competitive window after you know, February that a
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: lot of us probably saw that after December that it
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: wasn't going to be enough.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Of a competitive situation.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: But you could tell with the amount and the volume
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: of injuries he had that it just didn't seem like
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: it was going to be a smart year for him
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: to continue to roll pedal to the metal, which is
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the only way he knows how to play, and once
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you're on the floor, you can't tell him to play
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: any sort of any way.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Differently, Yeah, he just doesn't have that right. And again,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: this is all I know. He wants to play with
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: his two brothers. Is that one, that photo op, that
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: jersey swap, whatever it's going to be, I say, make
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: it happen Friday.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: Bucks are in Brooklyn tonight.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta have him trot out one last time
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: if that's desperately what he wants to be able to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: say goodbye.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Right, they're in Brooklyn tonight.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: They play Brooklyn again on Friday at the Arena, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: then they close out with the seventy six ers.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: They got one more in the middle there. Maybe the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: MAVs is there in there there back to back, right,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: they're going to Dallas from Brooklyn.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: But I mean that just shows clearly the back burner,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: understandably so for a team that has struggled to make
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the all in move work to the top level. And
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: that's where you know, as I read this and I
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: sat with it again yesterday, Drew, I you I can't
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: fault the Milwaukee Bucks for how they've handled any of this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: They I don't believe they really have anything to apologize for.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: They've tried to make every move to keep the window open.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: They've done everything that you ask a team and a
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: GM and.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: An ownership group.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Now it's been a changing ownership group, and I think
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: you mentioned that of like the lack of commonality and
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: conversation that he's had with this version of the ownership group.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: But they've been as all in as you possibly could
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: be ever since he's been an MVP level player. They
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: just have been the cautionary tale as to the all
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: in move just doesn't always work out.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Not always.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: I take them back.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: The Bucks are in Brooklyn tonight, then on their way home,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: they'll stop in Detroit and play Detroit.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, tomorrow night, number one team in the Eastern Conference.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Then yeah, and then Michigan Basketball is cooking.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Then Friday night Bucks home finale, and then Sunday season
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: finale at Philly.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Is Michigan Detroit Basketball gonna hold both trophies?
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Doubt it? Yeah, I'm with you that that would be.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: One of them. They're not beating the thunder, do you.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I don't even think they're beating.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: The Celtics and and all reality or maybe even the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Calves Calves knicks a lot less steam on the New
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: York Knicks. Huh, four letter network hasn't hasn't been beaten
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: that drum yet. Well, once the playoffs roll around, they'll
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: we'll get a lot more screaming a on that one.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: The sixers, Uh, what will they have to play for?
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: There?
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: Like the seventh seed?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I guess they're right on the fringe of being the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: horn in the playing tournament? Or how would I believe? Yeah,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and more importantly, you probably just don't want to be
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: playing Charlotte. How about Charlotte being able to go from
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: outside of the playing tournament to out of the playing
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: tournament into one of the top six seeds.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: They're like a half game out too. That's an incredible time,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: absolutely stunning.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good job con Yeah right, And frankly, I understand
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of love for Cooper Flag, but I
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: think Conn's the rookie of the year.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: He desperately deserves that one.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: How about a couple Lass Buyer sells before we hit
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: a time on we have our recond big story of
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the day, our friend Boss Dopbler buy or sell Brewers
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: don't win last night without Caleb Durbin's help.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Now the the.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Inning in which the Brewers played for and it does
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: not the ball doesn't break the infield. That's a tough
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: day for Caleb Durbin to have. He when Drew, you
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: talk about baseball in the game, and the ball will
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: always find you, and it is finding Caleb durban over
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: there at third base.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Yep, he is.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Having a tough run in to start his campaign as
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: a member of the Boston Red Sox. But you could
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: already hear the stadium shifting on his entire team. But
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: even after he gets a double, rips a single, standing
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: on second, standing on first base.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: All right, hey, maybe we do like the cut of
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: this kid's jim.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe we do like this kid gets thrown out stealing
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: second on the next pitch. Booze starting rating out that
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: way part quickly that that climate is a much.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Different one than he played in.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Ye have a day. That's a tough day. That's gonna
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: be a tough day to continue to store in the
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: mental bank. He did get two hits and score a run.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Batting average now north of one hundred.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Listen, you gotta take the incremental steps up.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: That's right, as you can fantastic right slow climb though
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: it feels like for.
• 36:15

• 37:50
  Speaker 1: is only something that twenty twenty six could produce. And
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: as people will ask, how we all thought the produced.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: One shining moment was last night? Neither of us saw
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: it and on one was being able to miss maybe
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the greatest irony that college sports could provide in twenty
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: twenty six. Drew last night One shining moment finished at
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: twelve oh one Eastern time.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: What does that mean?
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Well, at twelve oh one Eastern time, so did the
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: transfer portal opening in college basketball officially Oh April seventh year.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: The day is the first day officially of the transfer
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: portal opening, and last night almost to the second, as
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: one shining moment finished finishing off the college basketball season
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: and celebrating it all through in all.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Of its glory.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: You got to see the transfer portal opening at that
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: exact moment. Now, that is something that again, only I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: think twenty twenty six could provide. So was the true
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: waken bang moment of there was no waken and began
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: no rest for the weary, for the Michigan wolver They
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: already had assistant coaches sitting there, drew on their laptops
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: with their national championship hats on, scanning the portal and
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: seeing what players that officially entered their names in to
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: try to book visits. The world never stops, the world
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: never sleeps. Even though while ann Arbor was blowing off
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: fireworks and celebrating all of last night, one shining moment
• 39:21
