0:08
Speaker 2: Friday edition The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew billyon
0:11
Speaker 2: Arman hanging out at headquarters. Launching into a great weekend.
0:16
Speaker 2: We hope a little wind in our sales. Brewers beating
0:19
Speaker 2: the Padres yesterday on getaway Day, they play the Twins
0:22
Speaker 2: early start tonight. Packers schedules out. It's about as good
0:25
Speaker 2: as it could be. I haven't been this like you're
0:28
Speaker 2: worried about previous schedules in recent years. This one I
0:31
Speaker 2: feel pretty good about.
0:32
Speaker 3: Well, and drew the more and more that you know,
0:34
Speaker 3: you started doing some comparison around the NFC North because
0:37
Speaker 3: I can't say last night one that I watched much
0:40
Speaker 3: of the schedule release show, so I was I was
0:42
Speaker 3: missing the hot takes that people had. Even though people
0:45
Speaker 3: are already asking the question to start out on get
0:48
Speaker 3: up this morning? Can the Packers capitalize on the favorable
0:50
Speaker 3: early schedule games. We're looking even more at the favorable
0:54
Speaker 3: back end of the schedule.
0:56
Speaker 1: It is.
0:57
Speaker 3: That's a hard thing to not love. At Minnesota at
1:00
Speaker 3: New York playing the Jets home on Thursday night against
1:03
Speaker 3: the Falcons at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, two NFC South
1:06
Speaker 3: teams and two teams that finished last in their divisions.
1:10
Speaker 1: You would think you'd be able to capitalize early.
1:12
Speaker 3: We love the four out of five back end home games,
1:15
Speaker 3: and in the middle of it, like you said, you
1:19
Speaker 3: laid it in pretty good of starting with that Tampa
1:21
Speaker 3: Bay game at Tampa home against Chicago, home against Dallas
1:25
Speaker 3: home against or at Detroit home against Carolina.
1:29
Speaker 1: Go to New England who played in the Super Bowl
1:31
Speaker 1: last year.
1:31
Speaker 3: That's a that's a meat of the schedule against all
1:33
Speaker 3: teams that are expected to be near the playoffs. Then
1:36
Speaker 3: you wrap up at home against Minnesota before the bye.
1:39
Speaker 3: You're gonna know a ton about your team, and you
1:41
Speaker 3: could put yourself in a driver's seat. Not to get
1:45
Speaker 3: ahead of ourselves maybe a little bit too much, but
1:47
Speaker 3: you put yourself in a driver's seat in the NFC
1:48
Speaker 3: if you have wins against all those teams that you
1:51
Speaker 3: think you'd be scrapping for a potential wildcard maybe with yep.
1:54
Speaker 2: Four out of five games at home to close the season,
1:58
Speaker 2: including warm weather visit from Houston and Miami.
2:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then another Dome team in the Detroit Lions, who,
2:06
Speaker 3: as I said, like look around the rest of it.
2:08
Speaker 1: Detroit.
2:10
Speaker 3: Currently the betting favorites at the Potawatomie Sportsbook if you're
2:12
Speaker 3: into that kind of thing right now at plus one sixty,
2:15
Speaker 3: Packers are plus two to fifteen to win the NFC
2:17
Speaker 3: North for the first time since twenty one. The Lions
2:20
Speaker 3: drew play their three road Division games all in the
2:23
Speaker 3: final four weeks of the season Week fifteen at Minnesota,
2:27
Speaker 3: then they play the Giants, who some people think are
2:30
Speaker 3: going to be much improved. They host New York, then
2:33
Speaker 3: finish at Chicago and at Green Bay.
2:36
Speaker 2: If the Packers end up playing on Saturday in their
2:39
Speaker 2: season finale, which is unlikely because they're firing up Monday
2:44
Speaker 2: night came ye, right, But if they were to play Saturday,
2:46
Speaker 2: they would have played six of the seven days of
2:49
Speaker 2: the week during the series.
2:50
Speaker 4: There's probably a lot of irregularities with the schedule from
2:53
Speaker 4: what we've been used to, maybe in the last three decades.
2:56
Speaker 4: But the times are changing in the NFL and they're
2:58
Speaker 4: gonna keep putting in.
3:00
Speaker 1: You know, there's a record number of international games.
3:02
Speaker 4: There's gonna be more of those forever, you know, forever,
3:04
Speaker 4: there's gonna be more Wednesday games. I would almost guarantee
3:08
Speaker 4: that Thanksgiving Eve is going to become a tradition. Although
3:10
Speaker 4: things are gonna start and that's just gonna be what
3:12
Speaker 4: it is. And this is kind of the new world
3:15
Speaker 4: we're gonna be in. But Dobbler chiming in, good schedule,
3:17
Speaker 4: not many noon games, by the way, he's in the
3:19
Speaker 4: YouTube comments. You can jump in on the stream anytime.
3:21
Speaker 4: The fewer the better, makes more for more opportunities for
3:24
Speaker 4: the packers to be televised for US transplants. He isn't
3:27
Speaker 4: out of town or hash to go pack go, So
3:30
Speaker 4: Dobbler chiming in with his opinion. But yeah, this is
3:33
Speaker 4: this is the new world of scheduling that we're going
3:35
Speaker 4: to be in. You know, holidays, Friday games.
3:37
Speaker 2: Everything but Tuesday. Everything Tuesday, yep, So for now, everything
3:42
Speaker 2: but Tuesday.
3:43
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they played on every day of the
3:45
Speaker 3: week during the pandemic.
3:46
Speaker 1: I think that was the time that they ended up
3:48
Speaker 1: touching it.
3:49
Speaker 3: And then they're like, wait a second, so people wild
3:51
Speaker 3: would watch an NFL game on Wednesday, that's right, Maybe
3:54
Speaker 3: we try that and then all of a sudden, all like,
3:56
Speaker 3: oh my god, thirty million people watch this game. I
3:59
Speaker 3: guess we're gonna have to throw another one on there.
4:01
Speaker 3: So if we don't like it, just stop watching it. However,
4:03
Speaker 3: it's never that's never gonna happen. You mentioned the Thursday,
4:06
Speaker 3: the Thanksgiving Eve might become a tradition. Oh no, it
4:09
Speaker 3: did become a tradition. This year will be the first
4:12
Speaker 3: one of the tradition, and they're they're taking over. They're
4:16
Speaker 3: just boxing out more and more real estate. Which again,
4:19
Speaker 3: I know this might be a it's not hot take
4:22
Speaker 3: hump day, but this should further incentivize the NBA to
4:25
Speaker 3: do I think what everybody would like them to do.
4:27
Speaker 3: Shift that season back. Yep, right, start that thing on
4:32
Speaker 3: New Year's Eve. Right, maybe you make New Year's Eve,
4:34
Speaker 3: you're a new day because Christmas Day is now the
4:36
Speaker 3: NFL's unless you want Christmas Eve. But you fire it
4:39
Speaker 3: up in the back end of December, and then you
4:42
Speaker 3: get even more out of the way of the NFL.
4:45
Speaker 3: And right now, Drew, we could be starting the NBA
4:47
Speaker 3: playoffs when we are kind of looking at it saying, wow,
4:50
Speaker 3: we only have a certain amount of games left. This
4:52
Speaker 3: is a this is a prime feeding schedule. You would
4:54
Speaker 3: think NBA could peel back to sixty five in my
4:56
Speaker 3: book one hundred percent, I'm right there with you. And
4:58
Speaker 3: if you started it back in, Eric.
5:00
Speaker 1: Ridd of some and get rid of some back to
5:02
Speaker 1: backs and four and five's and all that crap.
5:04
Speaker 3: One and you like, these games are in and this
5:07
Speaker 3: product is entertainment as much as it's the compil the
5:11
Speaker 3: love of competition and the spirit of sport.
5:14
Speaker 1: It is tell it's a television product.
5:16
Speaker 3: And the more nights that these networks that are pumping
5:19
Speaker 3: a large majority of the money into the league want
5:23
Speaker 3: content and want inventory, they'll fill it up. I think
5:26
Speaker 3: the end the NBA would definitely be incentivized once again,
5:29
Speaker 3: just continue thinking about that in this next CBA and
5:31
Speaker 3: the expansion shift.
5:32
Speaker 1: That bad boy back come.
5:33
Speaker 4: On by Kowski alex By like alex By Kleskan YouTube.
5:38
Speaker 4: It's a great You definitely want to have your toughest
5:40
Speaker 4: games between week seven and fourteen. Hopefully momentum will be established.
5:43
Speaker 4: We want to hold the fort until Micah comes back.
5:45
Speaker 4: And that's the big thing. It almost seems like the
5:47
Speaker 4: NFL was like, look, we're gonna make this super obvious
5:50
Speaker 4: for you to put them on the pump. Get through
5:52
Speaker 4: those first four so he's healthy for Bears in those
5:54
Speaker 4: big Cowboy games because those are big market games, especially
5:56
Speaker 4: the Cowboy game. Uh for the NFL, they probably want
5:58
Speaker 4: Mike in there, and I'm sure the Paskers do as well,
6:00
Speaker 4: So that seems like it's set up for that situation
6:03
Speaker 4: as well.
6:04
Speaker 1: But Mike ha said his goals week one.
6:05
Speaker 4: He put that lion on there if you remember on
6:08
Speaker 4: on Twitter and the lion and the time and or
6:11
Speaker 4: was that Tucker. I don't remember, but whatever it was,
6:13
Speaker 4: he wants to be ready for week one, So we'll
6:15
Speaker 4: still wait and see. But I would imagine that does
6:17
Speaker 4: seem obvious well, and Drew You and I.
6:20
Speaker 3: Talked about it yesterday that I kind of consider that
6:23
Speaker 3: three twenty five that that's a primetime game, right It
6:25
Speaker 3: might it might not get slated into the night game.
6:28
Speaker 1: I feel the country watches.
6:30
Speaker 3: The country's gonna be watching them on I would assume
6:32
Speaker 3: that first week against Minnesota, and definitely that's a Burkhard
6:36
Speaker 3: Brady game. When the Bears and Packers play Week five,
6:39
Speaker 3: that Dallas game is super intriguing. You could play yourself
6:42
Speaker 3: right back into that main slot against the Lions that
6:45
Speaker 3: they're gonna be one of the most focused on teams
6:48
Speaker 3: throughout the season, and I don't. It doesn't forecast anything,
6:52
Speaker 3: it doesn't promise anything, but the NFL kind of tells who.
6:56
Speaker 3: Let's you know, shows their hand a bit as to
6:58
Speaker 3: who they're anticipating being the Ryan players with how they
7:01
Speaker 3: lay out the schedule.
7:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight seven seven, seven nine four ninety seven three
7:04
Speaker 2: gets you to the talking text line. You can also
7:06
Speaker 2: comment on YouTube, as Arman mentioned, time for a little
7:08
Speaker 2: Who's Hot Who's Not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson,
7:11
Speaker 2: heating and cooling employee owned for forty years.
7:14
Speaker 1: Billy Who's hot?
7:15
Speaker 3: Well, first off, our friend Dobbler is always hot? On
7:18
Speaker 3: the YouTube comments and my man said, Garrett Mitchell yesterday
7:22
Speaker 3: first time without a strikeout since April twenty eighth. Let's come,
7:25
Speaker 3: Let's give the Dobbler reno plus saying something nice bout
7:27
Speaker 3: Garrett Mitchell.
7:28
Speaker 1: Simone Dobbler. That's what we need going in on a Friday.
7:31
Speaker 3: Garrett Mitchell was hot yesterday and a seven run outburst
7:34
Speaker 3: for the Brewers. He was a part of the two
7:36
Speaker 3: hit club Andrew Vaughn a Parrot hits, Louis fren Heafo
7:40
Speaker 3: two hits, Garrett Mitchell two hits, and that man number thirteen,
7:44
Speaker 3: Louis frend Heifo, came in to play third base. He's
7:46
Speaker 3: played a ton of different spots and three consecutive multi
7:50
Speaker 3: hit games Drew. He is starting to really feel it
7:53
Speaker 3: and to have somebody in the lineup who has been there,
7:56
Speaker 3: done that around the big leagues. Some would the old
8:00
Speaker 3: cliche would have been a professional hitter. Gotta be tough, though,
8:04
Speaker 3: when your professional hitting experience has come playing every day
8:07
Speaker 3: and now he's serviced to a little bit of a
8:09
Speaker 3: different spot.
8:10
Speaker 1: Who's not hot?
8:11
Speaker 3: Your boy, Griffin Kaning, I felt bad for the California
8:15
Speaker 3: product yesterday because my man could not find that strike
8:18
Speaker 3: zone at all. It felt like he needed the old
8:20
Speaker 3: whiffle ball shield that would be back there that you're
8:22
Speaker 3: actually trying to hit for the strikes because he was
8:25
Speaker 3: not locating anything on four walks, six runs, all of
8:29
Speaker 3: them earned by the Brewers, three in the first inning,
8:31
Speaker 3: three in the second. Kyle Schwarber remains hot league leading
8:34
Speaker 3: oough eighteen bombs. He had another one last night in
8:39
Speaker 3: his former park at Fenway Park. Eighteen leads all of
8:43
Speaker 3: major League baseball. In Ni Kurts went Yard yesterday, as
8:45
Speaker 3: well as another guy who sadly has found his way
8:48
Speaker 3: into the hot category and maybe drew one of the
8:50
Speaker 3: reasons why the Cardinals have remained in the hot category
8:53
Speaker 3: at twenty five and eighteen. Jordan Walker had himself a
8:57
Speaker 3: blast yesterday, double in the ninth inning, part of a
9:00
Speaker 3: two run rally that the Cardinals had.
9:03
Speaker 1: He homered earlier on.
9:04
Speaker 3: In the game, two hit performance for the Redbirds as
9:07
Speaker 3: they came back in one against the A's yesterday. I
9:11
Speaker 3: think a lot of people were forecasting the demise of
9:13
Speaker 3: the Saint Louis Cardinals. I was celebrating and dancing on
9:15
Speaker 3: the grave last year where every single game it felt
9:17
Speaker 3: like they were releasing a new record low in attendance.
9:20
Speaker 1: And it's early, but it looks like.
9:23
Speaker 3: They're maybe hanging around a little bit longer than people anticipated.
9:26
Speaker 1: But not Comedy Central anymore.
9:28
Speaker 4: I'm about far from Kyle Harrison guys era flirting with
9:31
Speaker 4: under two now. I mean, he's really been incredible. I
9:34
Speaker 4: still can't find him on a cy Young futures, although
9:36
Speaker 4: you can get Quinn Preserve plus twenty five.
9:39
Speaker 1: Thousand, but I can't. I cannot find him.
9:41
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you, Kyle Harrison is sort of the
9:44
Speaker 4: revelation we saw with Quinn last year. During the year,
9:46
Speaker 4: he's been pitching incredible. He's four and one now he
9:49
Speaker 4: has a one and a half war already incredible numbers
9:52
Speaker 4: for him and forty eight strikeouts, So just great stuff
9:55
Speaker 4: to see from the Did.
9:56
Speaker 3: You go to the Potawatami Sportsbook and move that Jacob
9:59
Speaker 3: Mazerowski number? I didn't do it, but somebody might because
10:02
Speaker 3: yesterday Drew when we were on here talking about the
10:04
Speaker 3: ten strike up performance by miz and it was at
10:06
Speaker 3: fourteen to one.
10:07
Speaker 1: Wake up this morning, it's at eight to one.
10:09
Speaker 3: Boys dropping mapping many people putting him right in the
10:13
Speaker 3: center of that uh cy young Canadate conversation.
10:16
Speaker 2: Shout out to our friends at Donovan Jorgensen if you
10:19
Speaker 2: need an install for a new air conditioner perhaps, or
10:22
Speaker 2: maintenance or tune ups, service repairs, check them out at
10:25
Speaker 2: Donovan and Jorgensen dot com.
10:27
Speaker 3: Do you think they're gonna be hot this weekend? Yeah,
10:29
Speaker 3: Donovan Jorgans, it might be.
10:32
Speaker 1: Hits eighty for the first time. Turn that bad boy
10:35
Speaker 1: on the here's one for you.
10:37
Speaker 2: And I'd like to ask the people at Donovan and
10:38
Speaker 2: Jorgenson this question. How come it's like a badge of
10:41
Speaker 2: honor that I went all the way until late October
10:43
Speaker 2: before I turned on the heat at my house, and
10:46
Speaker 2: then the first day it's eighty, it's like, let's get
10:48
Speaker 2: that ac on. There's there is no honor in being hot,
10:54
Speaker 2: yet people take on it.
10:55
Speaker 5: Well.
10:55
Speaker 2: I just put on a couple extrapairs of socks and
10:57
Speaker 2: a couple of hoodies and I got on the blankets.
11:00
Speaker 2: I'm not turning my heat on, but when it gets
11:02
Speaker 2: hot out it's like, oh, this is brutal.
11:05
Speaker 3: We got to get this fan rolling right in as
11:07
Speaker 3: quick as possible because in these parts we fish on
11:10
Speaker 3: ice for walley and crappie and not on oceans for
11:12
Speaker 3: blue marlin and snapper.
11:14
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. We're used to. We're comfortable. Yeah,
11:18
Speaker 1: we're hardy. We're comfortable.
11:19
Speaker 2: By the way that the Sultan of the simile over there,
11:21
Speaker 2: he changed his prompt today to recognize waffle.
11:24
Speaker 1: Eaters waffle our three.
11:27
Speaker 2: His hour three tweet yesterday was okay, you pancake eaters, Like,
11:30
Speaker 2: is that a cut?
11:31
Speaker 1: Is that you wing at people? Dude? Waffles?
11:34
Speaker 4: Now it's just now, it's just gonna be a trend
11:37
Speaker 4: I'm putting sorry and in the category with for talking
11:40
Speaker 4: smack about our listeners talk.
11:42
Speaker 2: About waffles and pancakes. I did volunteer ability to bring
11:45
Speaker 2: in breakfast burritos when capacad visits us in person, so
11:48
Speaker 2: nice to saying.
11:49
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say, do we want burritos or
11:51
Speaker 3: do we want do we want pancakes? Do we want
11:52
Speaker 3: to be pancake eaters? I think that's a question. I
11:56
Speaker 3: can fire up the griddle right here, and I mean,
11:58
Speaker 3: in all reality, we could just slide this thing right
12:01
Speaker 3: over here.
12:02
Speaker 1: We'll put a camera on it.
12:04
Speaker 2: We were talking to friends yesterday. You know how it is,
12:07
Speaker 2: like how rare it is for your wife to give
12:09
Speaker 2: you a compliment, and especially in public it is usually
12:13
Speaker 2: it's just doesn't know how to load the dishwasher, JABRONI
12:18
Speaker 2: leaves toothpaste in the sinkage supposed to. I got the
12:22
Speaker 2: I got the Blackstone compliment. My wife was telling friends
12:25
Speaker 2: how how good breakfast is on the Blackstone, how good
12:28
Speaker 2: everything is. And she's like, you know how usually when
12:30
Speaker 2: you make pancakes inside you, the first one is a test.
12:32
Speaker 2: You throw the first one away. You don't do that
12:33
Speaker 2: in the Blackstone because they're always perfect.
12:35
Speaker 3: Well and frankly the first one is the best one
12:37
Speaker 3: because it's got the most bacon gry still sitting.
12:39
Speaker 4: Right, good point that factor, Yes, use the Blackstone.
12:43
Speaker 1: Bacon on the Blackstone is so good. It's next level.
12:46
Speaker 2: Even turkey bacon, which my wife prefers and I normally
12:49
Speaker 2: wouldn't like, you know, like as much, but it's so
12:52
Speaker 2: good on the Blackstone crisps up. It's sometimes it's hard
12:55
Speaker 2: to tell if it's a high quality turkey bacon. It's
12:57
Speaker 2: hard to tell the turkey bacon.
12:59
Speaker 4: I'll be quite on with you. I've never understood it's
13:01
Speaker 4: not bacon. So you think you're eating bacon, but you're
13:04
Speaker 4: not because it's turkey, which is good, but it's.
13:06
Speaker 1: De fier, but it's it's just like over for some
13:09
Speaker 1: of mine though.
13:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like a black bean burger. You know you're
13:11
Speaker 3: not eating a burger, but you gotta lip it around it.
13:14
Speaker 4: Don't call it a burger, I'm sorry, but turkey bagon
13:17
Speaker 4: called we went you know what, turkey price strip, Turkey strip,
13:21
Speaker 4: Turkey strip.
13:22
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, it's a turkey strip.
13:24
Speaker 2: Due respect to our friends at you know, at Oscar
13:28
Speaker 2: Meyer or who whoever else shaking, But I always went
13:31
Speaker 2: Nowskies or Usingers. But the thick Cutsky's peppered bacon is.
13:36
Speaker 1: Really good, pretty impressive stuff. Thick Cut Usingers did me
13:40
Speaker 1: on Sunday for Mother's Day brunch.
13:42
Speaker 3: Okay, because I've gone the thick cut and I'll be honest,
13:44
Speaker 3: I've done the Kirkling brand a number of different times,
13:46
Speaker 3: which is never a bad one.
13:47
Speaker 1: Over at Costco.
13:47
Speaker 3: However, I don't necessarily know that I need eight pounds.
13:52
Speaker 1: That's the tough thing about Costco. You buy more than
13:54
Speaker 1: the alves th I.
13:55
Speaker 3: Sit there, I'm like, wait, I have six of the
13:58
Speaker 3: most frozen bacon of all.
14:00
Speaker 1: I'm over here. I don't know exactly.
14:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're just gonna make me well maybe that maybe
14:05
Speaker 4: tomorrow will be the bacon eaters and then you guys
14:07
Speaker 4: will be all more.
14:08
Speaker 1: The turkey bacon eaters are working tomorrow. I've met Monday.
14:11
Speaker 3: Okay, well, no, because I woke up today.
14:14
Speaker 1: What happened?
14:15
Speaker 3: State my phone? How dare you wake me up on Saturday?
14:20
Speaker 3: I was convinced today was Saturday when I woke up.
14:22
Speaker 3: Now that's a nice place to live. Potentially, Drew or
14:26
Speaker 3: you know, you have to frame it a little bit differently.
14:28
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, we just got two Fridays. All right,
14:30
Speaker 3: we got two Fridays. That's a winner in my book.
14:32
Speaker 3: Even though little salty that I was wrong, and I
14:36
Speaker 3: did yell at my phone openly and potentially wake up
14:38
Speaker 3: my wife of like, why technology, you're supposed to work,
14:41
Speaker 3: You're supposed to know this, And then I cross verified it.
14:44
Speaker 3: I did the two step verification like they do on
14:46
Speaker 3: your email. I read like three different things that said
14:49
Speaker 3: it was Friday until I firmly, But I do.
14:50
Speaker 4: Like that you were questioning the technology. I was convinced
14:53
Speaker 4: I was right my mind and my subconscious in my
14:56
Speaker 4: my state of unconsciousness, it must be working better. So
14:59
Speaker 4: I did like that, Billy, But it is Friday indeed
15:02
Speaker 4: today at least?
15:03
Speaker 5: All right?
15:03
Speaker 1: Guys?
15:04
Speaker 4: Do you think this was the hot category that JJ
15:06
Speaker 4: Watt was making comments on the International Games on Twitter yesterday?
15:10
Speaker 4: He said International Games late is nearing the realm of
15:13
Speaker 4: a traveling circus as opposed to occasional showcase. It was interesting.
15:18
Speaker 4: I think he's right, but I think that's what the
15:19
Speaker 4: NFL wants. I think they want the traveling circus. I
15:22
Speaker 4: think that's the whole point. That's what they're trying to do.
15:24
Speaker 4: So I thought that was interesting to see JJ Watt
15:26
Speaker 4: make those comments.
15:27
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of players Drew that are
15:29
Speaker 3: not a big fan of the international I understand, right,
15:31
Speaker 3: I mean that's a that's a long travel, that's a
15:34
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of time. But like, I don't
15:38
Speaker 3: know that we're breaking a whole lot of news saying
15:40
Speaker 3: that the NFL like kind of quote unquote sure cares
15:43
Speaker 3: about player safety, it cares like they care about the
15:46
Speaker 3: cash coming through to the to the organization, and that's
15:49
Speaker 3: always going to be king.
15:50
Speaker 2: That is always king, And we're trying to build a
15:53
Speaker 2: brand and trying to take over the world. At what point, though,
15:57
Speaker 2: are we saturated? We're not there yet, but we're we're
15:59
Speaker 2: I I would say regular TV is saturated, like we're
16:04
Speaker 2: we were joking about it, Like I don't watch any
16:06
Speaker 2: network shows anymore. Like sure, the local news has been
16:08
Speaker 2: hurt because no one watches primetime shows while they're on live.
16:11
Speaker 2: They if you watch a primetime show whatever it may be, probably.
16:15
Speaker 1: Two months later when you stream it, Yeah, stream it.
16:17
Speaker 2: And sports is getting that way too, I mean, I
16:19
Speaker 2: thought about that last night. Thankfully, the Brewers played the
16:22
Speaker 2: day game and that opened up the schedule release worked
16:24
Speaker 2: out very well here for US. No I in team,
16:27
Speaker 2: but media starts with me, But at what point is
16:29
Speaker 2: it just too much? Like even when college football and
16:32
Speaker 2: macshin and we had It's football on every night and
16:35
Speaker 2: it's great, But at what point there's gotta be a
16:38
Speaker 2: tipping point where it's like, Okay, we've had enough, can't
16:40
Speaker 2: take any more.
16:41
Speaker 3: Well, and I thought that was hitting it with the
16:43
Speaker 3: UFL and then each time, you know, they put out
16:46
Speaker 3: a super sweet Disney graphic that apparently their numbers are
16:49
Speaker 3: a little bit better. I don't know that they hit
16:51
Speaker 3: it or that they will hit it soon, but the
16:55
Speaker 3: the pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered, say from Mark Cuban,
17:00
Speaker 3: almost feels like it's more happened to the NBA, because
17:03
Speaker 3: like still when it's the most important time, when it's
17:07
Speaker 3: playoff time Saturday Sunday month, right like when it gets
17:11
Speaker 3: down to the time when it is nut crunching time
17:14
Speaker 3: and all the champions are gonna be decided, it's the
17:17
Speaker 3: standard league. It's kind of what you expect it to be.
17:19
Speaker 3: Whereas like Arman put it out earlier in the weekend.
17:22
Speaker 3: I kind of laughed at it because I did the
17:23
Speaker 3: exact same thing. Generally, would never side with him going
17:26
Speaker 3: anti streaming on sports because I like more money on it.
17:29
Speaker 3: But Arman, it is a Russian Roulette game of trying
17:31
Speaker 3: to figure out where the.
17:32
Speaker 1: It's just the NBA playoff game is on.
17:35
Speaker 3: So like, the more you change it up in the
17:38
Speaker 3: most important time, that's when I start thinking you lose people.
17:42
Speaker 3: But maybe I'm wrong. Right now, I think they're getting
17:45
Speaker 3: people in front of every television imaginable. I think both
17:47
Speaker 3: things are true.
17:48
Speaker 4: I think people are gonna be upset about I think
17:50
Speaker 4: like a lot of fans will voice their concerns and
17:52
Speaker 4: then voice their displeasure and they'll get like a lot
17:55
Speaker 4: of likes with those on Twitter. But I think the
17:57
Speaker 4: other thing that's true is nothing will change. They're gonna
17:59
Speaker 4: still find a way to walk. The NFL in that
18:01
Speaker 4: sense is teflon. It's infallible. Maybe not forever, but I
18:04
Speaker 4: can't see it changing. Fans will complain, they'll gripe that's true,
18:07
Speaker 4: and they might not like it, and they don't, but
18:09
Speaker 4: they will still watch.
18:10
Speaker 1: It won't affect the bottom line. That's the way.
18:12
Speaker 4: I think both things can be true in this sense.
18:14
Speaker 4: And if that's the case, the NFL is fine with that.
18:16
Speaker 4: I think they have the arrogance to know that they
18:18
Speaker 4: are kind of teflon in that regard.
18:20
Speaker 3: You know, I also wonder if tru some of the
18:21
Speaker 3: mathematics is like, all right, we are gonna lose a
18:23
Speaker 3: certain amount of guys that are like, Hey, my daughter's
18:26
Speaker 3: got dance on Wednesday night, and then I got to
18:28
Speaker 3: pick up my kid from basketball. We leave dinner late,
18:30
Speaker 3: Like generally I'm not even watching TV on that night,
18:33
Speaker 3: so I'll probably miss this game or that game. They're like, sweet, well,
18:36
Speaker 3: we'll subtract this guy that we might be losing. We'll
18:38
Speaker 3: add three more that are sitting on the couch flipping
18:41
Speaker 3: through Netflix and being like, what on Earth am I
18:43
Speaker 3: gonna watch? I'm gonna watch The Office for the ninety
18:45
Speaker 3: eight thousand times. Yeah, I guesswe Oh, there's a game
18:49
Speaker 3: on all right? Cool, Like that's the That's a weird
18:51
Speaker 3: balancing act that I wonder when it plays out, because
18:54
Speaker 3: I would assume it does. But they're gonna run that
18:56
Speaker 3: thing all the way to the all the way to
18:58
Speaker 3: the edge of that cliff. Absolutely. When we come back,
19:02
Speaker 3: Paul Wagner gonna join us.
19:04
Speaker 2: We'll talk a little pitching with the Guru himself, pitching
19:06
Speaker 2: coach of the Lake Country Doc Hounds.
19:08
Speaker 1: Opening Day, Baby, It's an opening day for the Doc
19:10
Speaker 1: Hounds for baseball.
19:11
Speaker 2: And we will talk to Wags next year in the
19:14
Speaker 2: huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. If they can change your
19:24
Speaker 2: life like they've done for so many I visit them weekly,
19:27
Speaker 2: and I will tell you it helps. Game Day, Men's
19:29
Speaker 2: Health dot Com, Drew.
19:31
Speaker 1: Billion Armor in the huddle. It's Friday. It's seven twenty seven.
19:35
Speaker 2: We welcome to the program, our pal, Paul Wagner, pitching
19:37
Speaker 2: coach of the Late Country Doc Couns.
19:39
Speaker 5: Wags. Happy Friday, Happy Friday, and it is happy opening
19:45
Speaker 5: days for the Lake Country Doc Couns.
19:47
Speaker 1: Love it, Love it. What kind of squad are you
19:49
Speaker 1: looking at this year?
19:53
Speaker 5: You know what, You never want to get too excited,
19:55
Speaker 5: You don't want to get too I don't know. It's
19:59
Speaker 5: either we're pretty good good or some of the teams
20:01
Speaker 5: that we've scrimmaged against aren't you know, as good as us. Yes,
20:06
Speaker 5: I'm afraid I'm afraid to say something because you never know.
20:10
Speaker 5: This game of baseball humbles even the best of them.
20:13
Speaker 3: Well, that's got to be that's got to be the
20:15
Speaker 3: most fun part being around a team, being able to
20:17
Speaker 3: see it grow and mature and change throughout the year.
20:21
Speaker 3: But this is my favorite part of any season, whatever sport,
20:26
Speaker 3: because everybody's undefeated and everybody is having the same feelings
20:30
Speaker 3: of you as all right, if Jimmy works out and
20:33
Speaker 3: Kevin just continue to locate that curveball, I don't know
20:36
Speaker 3: how anybody's hitting our one and two stars.
20:38
Speaker 1: You got to be rather optimistic.
20:39
Speaker 3: It's also got to be fun because now you have
20:41
Speaker 3: a whole runway to be able to work with these
20:43
Speaker 3: guys and try to get the.
20:44
Speaker 1: Most out of them.
20:45
Speaker 5: Right, It's so true. I mean we say this in
20:49
Speaker 5: every sport, every after every spring training, after every exhibition season,
20:54
Speaker 5: regardless even though we know as fans, we can look
20:57
Speaker 5: at it and say, you have no chance White Sox,
21:01
Speaker 5: you have although they are playing good now, you have
21:03
Speaker 5: no chance of winning the World Series. But coming out
21:05
Speaker 5: of spring training you think so you just never know,
21:08
Speaker 5: And that's a great time. Everybody's excited, and these rosters
21:12
Speaker 5: overturn so many times because you lose players, and players
21:15
Speaker 5: move on and whether it's for life or to pursue
21:19
Speaker 5: baseball within an affiliated organization or somewhere else. But very
21:23
Speaker 5: very exciting for these kids. And yeah, definitely it's definitely
21:26
Speaker 5: a new roster and a new season, new.
21:29
Speaker 2: Season for the Dochounds opening night tonight, Weggs, I'm wearing
21:34
Speaker 2: in your honor. I'm wearing my Wisconsin dive bars. Yes
21:37
Speaker 2: that I got from Brian, So I'm representing vicariously, Weggs.
21:42
Speaker 2: How good are the Brewers pitching right now?
21:48
Speaker 5: You don't want to wake up a sleeping bear. They're
21:51
Speaker 5: very good. They are. I don't know. The one thing
21:56
Speaker 5: that I look at all the time is I love
22:00
Speaker 5: this fact now and I says where I think drew
22:02
Speaker 5: where you can see from in the old days, where
22:04
Speaker 5: the mentality has changed. If you're going to keep a
22:07
Speaker 5: Harrison at ninety nine pitches or everybody's gonna throw one
22:11
Speaker 5: hundred pitches, that tells them that they can they have
22:15
Speaker 5: twenty pitches an inning. If you can give me five innings,
22:17
Speaker 5: whatever you can give me, that's great. I think it's
22:21
Speaker 5: just a mentality change because of the fact that you
22:23
Speaker 5: can give everything that you have in your tank for
22:26
Speaker 5: as long as you can, knowing that once you come
22:29
Speaker 5: out of the game where they take the ball from you,
22:31
Speaker 5: I have five or six more dudes that are going
22:34
Speaker 5: to come in and just blow shed and come from
22:37
Speaker 5: the left side, come from the right side, and finish
22:39
Speaker 5: up games. For me, it's it's kind of weird. It's
22:41
Speaker 5: kind of a different whole setup now well.
22:44
Speaker 3: And Harrison is one of my favorite ones to be
22:46
Speaker 3: able to see it Wags because like everybody anticipates, and
22:50
Speaker 3: you give such a good perspective on Chris Hook of
22:52
Speaker 3: just like being able to ask the guy what he
22:54
Speaker 3: does best, what what is the easiest way for you
22:56
Speaker 3: to pitch, what's the way that's most comfortable for you?
22:59
Speaker 3: And you know, I can't say that I know a
23:01
Speaker 3: ton about arm slots in different degrees and percentages, But
23:05
Speaker 3: when they just say, hey man, we just want to
23:07
Speaker 3: have your body throw the baseball how you're designed to
23:10
Speaker 3: throw the baseball. Is there more and more of that
23:12
Speaker 3: in pitching where it's, hey, we know a ton, but
23:16
Speaker 3: maybe we don't know these guys as well as their
23:18
Speaker 3: own body knows themselves. Maybe we just try to not
23:21
Speaker 3: have them think so much and you can really untap
23:23
Speaker 3: the true potentially guy had because he's been nails.
23:29
Speaker 1: Guys. I think he dropped. I'm gonna I'm.
23:30
Speaker 2: Gonna work on question. Question I would have dropped too.
23:35
Speaker 2: Wags has dropped. In the meantime, we need our Current
23:39
Speaker 2: Electric superhero of the day. Is it bad to call
23:42
Speaker 2: Kyle Harrison after his pitching performance yesterday?
23:44
Speaker 1: Say him or just like Chris hook again. I was
23:46
Speaker 1: gonna say it. Let's do Chris Hooks hooked.
23:48
Speaker 2: Again because the way they pitched during this series has
23:50
Speaker 2: been credible. So we'll make Chris hook our superhero. They
23:53
Speaker 2: call Current dot Com Current Electric the best in the business.
23:55
Speaker 2: The superheroes on the side of the band you need.
23:57
Speaker 2: They're superheroes that are the texts. Check them out, Get
24:00
Speaker 2: the air conditioner tuned up, be ready to rock and
24:02
Speaker 2: roll for summer. Waggs has reconnected, Billy, you want to
24:05
Speaker 2: take two on the question?
24:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna do it a little easier.
24:08
Speaker 3: Wags being able to just allow guys to throw their
24:12
Speaker 3: natural way. Is there some work in pitching of like, hey,
24:16
Speaker 3: let's not try to overcorrect and just let the guy
24:18
Speaker 3: be the best version of himself. That's got to be
24:21
Speaker 3: a difficult balancing act.
24:24
Speaker 5: That's what I think it is. So many people try
24:27
Speaker 5: to to tweak or make you the same. Nobody is
24:32
Speaker 5: the same. Nobody's grip strength is the same. Nobody's hand
24:36
Speaker 5: sizes are the same. Nobody's our motions, the restrictions in
24:40
Speaker 5: your shoulder, your elbow, the way you've been brought up,
24:43
Speaker 5: the way you were taught. There's so many things. And
24:46
Speaker 5: back in the old days, everybody had to throw this way.
24:49
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying this in a negative way, but
24:52
Speaker 5: you read the Tomhouse book, and that's how we throw.
24:55
Speaker 5: We all throw this way, and this is how we
24:57
Speaker 5: want to be. We want to be Mark Pryor's and
25:00
Speaker 5: we saw what happened to Mark Pryor back in the day.
25:02
Speaker 5: Nobody throws the same. I think what you do is
25:04
Speaker 5: you find the kid, you find the guy, you find
25:07
Speaker 5: his comfort level, you see where he's had success, and
25:11
Speaker 5: you magnify that and you dwell on that. It's almost
25:14
Speaker 5: that seri or that concept that when you do you
25:18
Speaker 5: do ten things, you do ten things and you do
25:21
Speaker 5: eight things wrong. Let's focus on the two things you
25:24
Speaker 5: do right and make them even better. To expand rather
25:27
Speaker 5: than looking at the eight bad things and negate the
25:30
Speaker 5: two good things.
25:31
Speaker 2: Wax, I want to go back to missus. Start the
25:33
Speaker 2: other night against the Padres. Seven innings, four hits, ten strikeouts.
25:37
Speaker 2: But the numbers underneath that seventeen out of twenty five
25:42
Speaker 2: first pitch strikes.
25:44
Speaker 1: So you start, he throws strike one.
25:46
Speaker 2: As a hitter, you're already in deep, deep trouble, right,
25:49
Speaker 2: And then he had twenty called strikes and twenty swinging strikes.
25:56
Speaker 2: His slider was impeccable, And I'm thinking to myself, man
25:59
Speaker 2: that as a hitter, you know, ninety mile an hour
26:03
Speaker 2: slider or one hundred and two coming fastball, you got
26:05
Speaker 2: no chance. And if he is able to mix in
26:07
Speaker 2: an occasional curveball or change up, he's going to be
26:09
Speaker 2: even more devastating. What's the ceiling for this kid? I
26:12
Speaker 2: thought Tuesday night is about as good as you can pitch.
26:14
Speaker 2: But he's got room to improve.
26:18
Speaker 5: Now. The biggest thing you always say with miterest's first
26:22
Speaker 5: as a hitter, and a hitter comes up to the
26:24
Speaker 5: plate and he says, Okay, I can't cover all seventeen inches.
26:27
Speaker 5: I can't cover the inside, I can't cover the outside.
26:30
Speaker 5: I can't catch the fastball, or I can't catch the slider.
26:33
Speaker 5: I'm going to eliminate something. Now that he is throwing
26:36
Speaker 5: everything for a strike and he's coming at you for
26:39
Speaker 5: a strike, you have no time to eliminate anything. It's
26:44
Speaker 5: it's a dominating performance. And I'm very curious to see
26:47
Speaker 5: if Chris when he took him from Nashville and just said,
26:50
Speaker 5: your stuff is so elite, you have nobody nobody. I
26:55
Speaker 5: don't care if it's Barry Bonds, Mark Maguire, I don't
26:58
Speaker 5: care if it's Aaron Judge. You have such elite stuff
27:01
Speaker 5: that I want you to throw the ball as hard
27:04
Speaker 5: as you can, or whatever you want to do, but
27:07
Speaker 5: I want it right down the middle of the plate
27:09
Speaker 5: because nobody can touch it. And once you have that feeling,
27:12
Speaker 5: that's Superman feeling, I think it's it's unbelievable what he's
27:16
Speaker 5: gonna do because he's giving you first pitch strikes, he's
27:19
Speaker 5: throwing pitches in the zone, he's getting chases, and he's
27:23
Speaker 5: got such elite stuff that it's it's a nightmare for
27:27
Speaker 5: the opposing hitters.
27:28
Speaker 2: It's one thing to not walk a guy in seven innings,
27:30
Speaker 2: but I don't think he had a three ball count. Wow,
27:33
Speaker 2: I mean ninety three pitches, sixty eight strikes for a
27:36
Speaker 2: guy who's throwing one hundred and ten.
27:38
Speaker 3: Any guy that command issues was the only thing that
27:40
Speaker 3: people were really worried about me.
27:41
Speaker 2: And he got Casianos in the steven. Now he had
27:43
Speaker 2: to come out. He went out for the eighth. He
27:45
Speaker 2: talked Murph into going out with the eighth, and then
27:46
Speaker 2: he cramped up a little bit. But Cassianos was the
27:48
Speaker 2: last battery face and he was throwing one O two,
27:50
Speaker 2: one oh three in the seventh, which is we've never
27:52
Speaker 2: seen before. And Wax, we talked about it before. This
27:54
Speaker 2: kid is must see TV. Now he's becoming and he's
27:57
Speaker 2: on track to start Monday Night at Wrigley, Like, oh
28:00
Speaker 2: my god, I just but and he's saying he can
28:04
Speaker 2: get stronger. He didn't feel like he had his best stuff.
28:07
Speaker 2: If that's not your best stuff, I shudder to think.
28:09
Speaker 2: I don't know that miss will throw a no hitter
28:11
Speaker 2: anytime soon, because I don't know that they'll let him
28:13
Speaker 2: in the pitch count all that stiff point. I don't
28:15
Speaker 2: know if that'll happen. If he throws that efficiently, he'll
28:17
Speaker 2: give you a chance. But Weggs, if I had to
28:19
Speaker 2: go to the sports book with Billy and bet that
28:22
Speaker 2: miss will throw an immaculate inning this year, I'm gonna
28:25
Speaker 2: I'll go to the window with that. At some point
28:27
Speaker 2: this year, he's gonna get it, isn't he exactly?
28:31
Speaker 5: And we know he's got like let's just say a
28:33
Speaker 5: hundred pitch limit and you go to the book and
28:35
Speaker 5: it says strikeouts Kenada half over under, and you think
28:40
Speaker 5: about it.
28:44
Speaker 1: Listen, I had ten on Tuesday night.
28:47
Speaker 3: I was glad I ended up having that because of
28:49
Speaker 3: his uh, his length into the game. Weggs, But there's
28:52
Speaker 3: also like the awe shuck's part of it that I
28:54
Speaker 3: got to imagine if you're another guy that throws like
28:57
Speaker 3: I don't know, ninety nine, or you can maybe tell.
29:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I threw one hundred and three. This is kind
29:03
Speaker 1: of nice. I think I might be all throw faster,
29:04
Speaker 1: so I think it might be better.
29:06
Speaker 3: I always look at it like they got to be
29:07
Speaker 3: protecting this kid at all costs, or everybody else in
29:09
Speaker 3: the pends like this son of a gun.
29:12
Speaker 1: How do I drink a little bit of what he's
29:13
Speaker 1: got going on?
29:14
Speaker 3: Because he can reach the ball further than anybody else
29:17
Speaker 3: and throw it harder. There's a protect them all cost.
29:19
Speaker 3: But also, all right, buddy, we know that you know
29:22
Speaker 3: that you're good. There's got to be a weird balancing
29:24
Speaker 3: act there.
29:26
Speaker 5: If you start to like, yeah, the guys in the
29:29
Speaker 5: whole staff, even in I'm gonna say the league, if
29:32
Speaker 5: you start comparing yourself to him, it's it's it's wrong.
29:35
Speaker 5: I think I saw a stat and you can probably
29:38
Speaker 5: correct me. Arman, you've probably seen this. I'm going to
29:41
Speaker 5: make up a number. Mus strolling two hundred and twenty
29:45
Speaker 5: five pitches over one hundred and one hundred miles an
29:48
Speaker 5: hour this year, which is the largest amount. The next
29:51
Speaker 5: closest is I think the kid out of Pittsburgh, Bubba
29:53
Speaker 5: Bubba Chandler, is a pretty good little pitcher. He's got
29:55
Speaker 5: a really good arm. I think Bubba Chandler's at like
29:58
Speaker 5: ten ten or fifteen, maybe even twenty. But if you
30:01
Speaker 5: try to compare yourself to Miser you want to be
30:03
Speaker 5: up to that and you want to throw that velo,
30:06
Speaker 5: it isn't gonna happen because if you try to throw
30:08
Speaker 5: one hundred and two when the body's not ready to
30:10
Speaker 5: do it, it ain't gonna work. It's like that arm's
30:13
Speaker 5: gonna go to the catcher and you're gonna have to say, hey,
30:15
Speaker 5: Billy Contraris, can you throw me my right arm back?
30:17
Speaker 5: Because yeah, I can't throw that hard.
30:19
Speaker 4: So you're saying he's got the capacity for it, but
30:22
Speaker 4: it's not always going to be there when he summons it.
30:24
Speaker 4: Is that the idea or something like that, like it's
30:26
Speaker 4: just going to be there that moment that day.
30:30
Speaker 5: I think, I don't it almost and I and I
30:34
Speaker 5: know he prepares, I know he works hard. I'm assuming
30:37
Speaker 5: I don't know this, but it's almost to the fact
30:40
Speaker 5: where he has gotten in his mind out that he
30:42
Speaker 5: can roll out of bed and he can just blow
30:44
Speaker 5: a hundred plus. Now he's trying to say, Okay, now
30:48
Speaker 5: I want to get ahead of hitters. Now I want
30:50
Speaker 5: to get ahead of hitters in my slider. I want
30:53
Speaker 5: to be more pitch efficient. I want to throw one
30:55
Speaker 5: hundred and ten. If I'm in the ninth inning with
30:57
Speaker 5: a great game going, Murph, he may let me go
31:00
Speaker 5: if I'm at one oh three or one oh four,
31:03
Speaker 5: especially if I haven't had stressed pitches.
31:05
Speaker 2: That's right, we're talking to Paul Wagner here on the huddle,
31:07
Speaker 2: all right, wacks. One of the things that struck me.
31:09
Speaker 2: He was faced Michael King, for the potter is pretty good.
31:11
Speaker 2: He's having a pretty good season, and they're so different.
31:14
Speaker 2: King throws across his body and he's it was a
31:17
Speaker 2: funky thing. But I was struck because I was at
31:19
Speaker 2: the game and I'm looking at the mound and Mis
31:21
Speaker 2: creates his own crater because of his long stride, and
31:24
Speaker 2: there aren't many guys that land where he lands. But
31:27
Speaker 2: they were in two different points of the mound because
31:29
Speaker 2: with the way King threw across his body.
31:31
Speaker 1: Did you like.
31:32
Speaker 2: Facing against Did you like going up against the lefty
31:35
Speaker 2: in your starting days?
31:36
Speaker 1: Like people, that's one of the unsung things.
31:38
Speaker 2: People don't think about the way the mound is and
31:40
Speaker 2: how big the craters where you're landing, and you know
31:43
Speaker 2: the I know Ms had some trouble last year, especially
31:46
Speaker 2: on the road. Murph said, Oh, he didn't like the
31:47
Speaker 2: mound and he kind of got rattled by that. What
31:49
Speaker 2: is the dynamic of that? What is the pitcher's relationship
31:52
Speaker 2: to the mound. There were some mounds probably on the
31:53
Speaker 2: road that you liked, something that you didn't what is
31:56
Speaker 2: what goes into a pitcher in the mindset with just
31:58
Speaker 2: the dirt you're pitching on.
32:01
Speaker 5: You know, it never really it really never. The mounds
32:04
Speaker 5: are pretty it's it's not like we're going out to
32:06
Speaker 5: the backyard and or a little league field and we're
32:08
Speaker 5: going out to the high school field. You know, it's
32:10
Speaker 5: pretty hard. You know. The clay mixture, obviously, the grounds
32:13
Speaker 5: crew at at at millerb or at Amfam Field is phenomenal.
32:17
Speaker 5: It's a tight There's sometimes you'll get like a wet
32:20
Speaker 5: chunk of a red clay or something like that, but
32:23
Speaker 5: usually it's a kick out a bole. It's a fixable thing.
32:26
Speaker 5: So depending on where they land, you can come out
32:28
Speaker 5: there with that dry pub and you can you know,
32:31
Speaker 5: almost rake it with your cleat and get to the
32:33
Speaker 5: point where you feel comfortable. Never never really had a problem.
32:36
Speaker 5: There's not like a guy that just tore it up
32:38
Speaker 5: that I can remember offhand. But again, it's so nice.
32:43
Speaker 5: It's usually nice. I don't have that super long stride.
32:46
Speaker 5: I never did. My idea was to get up, get
32:50
Speaker 5: to my set position, and as soon as I'm ready
32:52
Speaker 5: to go, before I transition, I want to get that arm.
32:54
Speaker 5: I want to get my leg down. I want to
32:55
Speaker 5: I want to hit that slope and I want to
32:57
Speaker 5: break and I want to go as fast as I can.
32:59
Speaker 5: So I don't know, I never really ran into problems.
33:02
Speaker 5: But some guys with a long stride, a short stride,
33:04
Speaker 5: a cross fire. Sometimes lefties will dig out a hole
33:07
Speaker 5: just to piss you off.
33:10
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking the game within the gas my
33:13
Speaker 2: kind of guy right there talking about Yeah, you just
33:16
Speaker 2: it was striking because both those guys were obviously and
33:19
Speaker 2: miss lands with a lot of force. They're doing that
33:22
Speaker 2: they're studying like hitters plant foot like their the front foot,
33:25
Speaker 2: like how much force they.
33:26
Speaker 1: Can generate with that.
33:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so now it's the same thing with pitchers, right,
33:30
Speaker 2: that's part of the part of the physiology.
33:33
Speaker 1: Of throwing.
33:36
Speaker 5: Right. And that's that's kind of what we're looking at.
33:38
Speaker 5: That's the data that we're getting right now is keep
33:41
Speaker 5: that right or your drive heel, the heel that is
33:44
Speaker 5: connected to the mound to the rubber, keep that heel,
33:49
Speaker 5: keep it tight as long as you can, and when
33:52
Speaker 5: you hit, get that extension out nor extension. I'm going
33:55
Speaker 5: to say, miss, I'm going to make up a number.
33:57
Speaker 5: It's sixty feet six inches from the rubber to the plate.
34:01
Speaker 5: His extension I'm going to make him number could be
34:03
Speaker 5: like around at eight seven. I don't know. But the
34:06
Speaker 5: more extension you get now you're getting more life off
34:09
Speaker 5: the ball. We seem to be seeing. The more you
34:11
Speaker 5: extend and you finish your pitches, it comes off the
34:14
Speaker 5: tips of your fingers, you're getting more spin rate. The
34:17
Speaker 5: spin rate is keeping that ball elevated a long time.
34:20
Speaker 5: And they call it an iv being or inverted whatever
34:23
Speaker 5: they call it. But it's playing at a higher level,
34:26
Speaker 5: which is in turn causing hitters to swing underneath the baseball.
34:31
Speaker 5: And if MS is coming at one hundred and two,
34:34
Speaker 5: and a hitter has to decide really really fast when
34:38
Speaker 5: he's going to determine if he's going to swing or not.
34:40
Speaker 5: It's coming out of hand strike, so he's got to
34:44
Speaker 5: think strike strike. But by the time he determines that
34:47
Speaker 5: that ball is not coming and he's swinging right underneath it,
34:49
Speaker 5: and you can't catch one hundred and two or one
34:51
Speaker 5: hundred and three, there's no hitter.
34:53
Speaker 1: That can damn all that data. You's analytics guy, Now,
34:56
Speaker 1: I like this.
34:57
Speaker 5: Oh No, Carmon still believe in wins.
35:00
Speaker 1: And loss.
35:03
Speaker 3: Well, what about the what about the wins and losses?
35:05
Speaker 3: What about the counting stats? How many birds do we
35:07
Speaker 3: put in the freezer? How did the season wrap up?
35:09
Speaker 3: Because the season starts today for the Dockhounds, but what
35:12
Speaker 3: about the turkey season? Man, how do we wrap up?
35:15
Speaker 5: We have we have three off of my place, and

39:46
Speaker 3: if they would.
39:47
Speaker 1: Everybody did, Everybody does.
39:49
Speaker 3: However, I can't say I ever thought that this was
39:52
Speaker 3: going to be a as armand coined it earlier Knocking
39:55
Speaker 3: out of the Park social Media Department super Bowl. That's it, man,
40:00
Speaker 3: It is when they play what they play for and
40:02

40:05
Speaker 3: get knocked out of the park here and I'll tell
40:06
Speaker 3: you this, drifted into the couch last night and watched
40:09
Speaker 3: way too many of them. That is probably an hour
40:12
Speaker 3: of my life. I'm never gonna get back. And I
40:14
Speaker 3: don't remember any of the other ones, but I will
40:16
Speaker 3: say I laughed at the This is Sports Center one
40:18
Speaker 3: because that nostalgia. Those commercials that ESPN made, I don't
40:22
Speaker 3: know that they've ever made better content.
40:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was amazing stuff, all hilarious. I could watch
40:27
Speaker 4: those forever, the old youtubes of light.
40:29
Speaker 1: It pulled me right back into a rabbit hole and
40:31
Speaker 1: I watched a thirty minute cutup of it. It was great.
