05/21/26 - Hour 3 · The Huddle

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome in. It's the huddle.
0:02
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy,
0:05
Speaker 2: Medison everywhere on the iHeart app Drew billion Armon bringing
0:07
Speaker 2: it to you from headquarters. Hunter Bomber joins us in
0:09
Speaker 2: half an hour to talk about those red hot Milwaukee
0:12
Speaker 2: Brewers sweeping the Cubs for just at Wrigley for just
0:15
Speaker 2: the fifth time in sole history, outscoring the Cubs in
0:19
Speaker 2: the three game series by a combined nineteen to five.
0:25
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not bad. The Brewers Cubs are reeling
0:30
Speaker 2: a little bit. Cubs have lost nine of their last twelve.
0:32
Speaker 2: Brewers have won sixteen of their last twenty one.
0:36
Speaker 3: A resounding decision and a unanimous one if they go
0:40
Speaker 3: to the judges' scorecard on the series because drew at
0:42
Speaker 3: no point, and I felt on Tuesday night when Miz
0:45
Speaker 3: exited the game, you were gonna get a little flurry,
0:47
Speaker 3: you were gonna get the Cubs coming out of their corner.
0:51
Speaker 3: They were gonna deliver a couple of haymakers. See if
0:53
Speaker 3: they get themselves back in the game. Felt like they
0:54
Speaker 3: were right back into it with bases loaded after the
0:57
Speaker 3: Suzuki bobble, tough play for ren Heefo, it's five to two.
1:02
Speaker 1: Chad Patrick locks it down.
1:03
Speaker 3: Last night when Harrison exited the game in the seventh
1:06
Speaker 3: inning and it was DL Hall it I didn't get
1:08
Speaker 3: the same vibes. It felt like that thing was curtains
1:10
Speaker 3: in that Cubs dick down.
1:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. They were unlacing their spikes.
1:14
Speaker 3: Yeah they were, they were taking them off, they were,
1:16
Speaker 3: they were going and tapping up the other huddle.
1:18
Speaker 4: They were, they were going to Anthony Edwards.
1:20
Speaker 1: Edwards.
1:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something to them to be said for emotionally
1:24
Speaker 5: taking the will of your opponent away.
1:25
Speaker 1: And the Brews did that.
1:26
Speaker 5: And by the time that third game, you're right, I
1:28
Speaker 5: mean it was just, you know, we've demoralized this team,
1:31
Speaker 5: We've taken them out to water, you know, and all
1:33
Speaker 5: that stuff.
1:33
Speaker 1: So, boy, was that a wonderful three days for Brewer.
1:36
Speaker 2: Who's more underrated? Which which body is more under underrated?
1:41
Speaker 2: The Brewers in general or Jordan love.
1:45
Speaker 1: Good One.
1:46
Speaker 2: Brewers have won five of the last seven full season
1:49
Speaker 2: NL Central titles and three in a row, and yet
1:52
Speaker 2: people are like, wow, they might win seventy eight seventy
1:54
Speaker 2: nine games.
1:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have to say the Brewers, like the
1:58
Speaker 4: loved one.
2:00
Speaker 3: We see him every day, right, so we see him
2:02
Speaker 3: play game by game, and I think we can appreciate
2:05
Speaker 3: more of what he does when you watch it week in.
2:07
Speaker 1: And week out.
2:08
Speaker 3: I understand why Jordan is a little bit slept on Nashal.
2:11
Speaker 4: I don't agree with it.
2:12
Speaker 2: Because he hasn't won the division in a while, has.
2:14
Speaker 3: Won the division, only won the one playoff game, and
2:18
Speaker 3: the last couple of years the playoff games have clearly
2:21
Speaker 3: gone the opposite way. Now you look at the numbers
2:23
Speaker 3: in the playoffs this year, you'd be stunned as to
2:27
Speaker 3: how his team loses when you throw for three hundred
2:29
Speaker 3: plus yards and four tds and no picks. But that
2:32
Speaker 3: one I kind of understand. The Brewers one is just
2:36
Speaker 3: continually martin galing against the fact that the Brewers are
2:39
Speaker 3: gonna do it again, just saying there's no way this
2:41
Speaker 3: thing can come up red again. There's no way they
2:43
Speaker 3: can come up red again. And the son of a gun,
2:45
Speaker 3: it's red twenty one every single time. And they keep
2:48
Speaker 3: finding ways to develop young players as it's pretty staggering.
2:52
Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison seven innings, two hits, a walk, and eleven
2:56
Speaker 3: punch outs, just dominant and again when the Cubs had
3:00
Speaker 3: more errors than hits. Yeah, past the milort and part
3:05
Speaker 3: of the story.
3:06
Speaker 5: Every year it seems like finding a pitcher that you
3:09
Speaker 5: know is not regarded necessarily, not expected to do things,
3:13
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden does in an acquisition. Last
3:16
Speaker 5: year it was Quinn Priester most of the year. This
3:19
Speaker 5: year it seems to be Harrison. I think the year
3:20
Speaker 5: before in some ways it was Tobias. Maybe just every
3:24
Speaker 5: year there's a there's been a guy like that in
3:26
Speaker 5: the Brewers rotation. Front office has done their thing, just
3:29
Speaker 5: like clockworth work, and it's just been it's just been
3:33
Speaker 5: fantastic to see it all come together well.
3:34
Speaker 3: And Harrison might be the better comparison to Priester. Where
3:38
Speaker 3: Quinn Priester was a highly thought of prospect at one
3:41
Speaker 3: particular point in time, right he was a higher thought of.
3:44
Speaker 3: Harrison was one of the more elite prospects in all
3:47
Speaker 3: of baseball, right Like he was in the top five, top.
3:49
Speaker 4: Ten, and like everybody around ball kind.
3:52
Speaker 3: Of knew his name and knew that he had something
3:55
Speaker 3: special to roll through. Andrew, you said in the first hour,
3:57
Speaker 3: I just I don't know what the scouting apartments or
4:00
Speaker 3: the coaching stabs in San Francisco and in Boston were
4:06
Speaker 3: missing because Lefty with good velocity, clean run on his fastball,
4:12
Speaker 3: that kind of swinging missibility. Generally, that's all you look
4:15
Speaker 3: for in a starting pitcher, and instead they both teams
4:18
Speaker 3: in the last nine months were okay, letting him walk
4:20
Speaker 3: out of the door.
4:21
Speaker 1: How will the Brewers do against the Dodgers?
4:24
Speaker 2: They get a day off today, christ and Yellegs Charity
4:26
Speaker 2: Foundation Yelly Concert twenty two if you want to grab
4:30
Speaker 2: some last minute tickets and go see jacoben And it's
4:33
Speaker 2: always good. It was a good time. I've been to
4:34
Speaker 2: the first two. Feels like a good night to go
4:36
Speaker 2: out to. The outs will be a good and loose
4:39
Speaker 2: I'm sure. But uh, we're sending, aren't they sending Henderson,
4:44
Speaker 2: Gasser and Sprote to the mound against the Dodgers. That's
4:47
Speaker 2: the law firm for the three for the three games here,
4:49
Speaker 2: it's the bottom of your rotation, which has still been
4:53
Speaker 2: pretty good. Yeah, well Henderson has been phenomenal, Yeah, really good.
4:57
Speaker 2: Coming up spro I think it's good's been good. He's
4:59
Speaker 2: starting to get yeah, rhythm and.
5:01
Speaker 1: You roll with what you have.
5:02
Speaker 5: I mean, you talk about, you know, being underrated, and
5:05
Speaker 5: even today we got the same you know, well what
5:07
Speaker 5: happens when the Dodgers come. It's like the old you know,
5:10
Speaker 5: the wet blanket stuff. But the reality is, you know,
5:13
Speaker 5: you go with what you have. I was happy with
5:15
Speaker 5: what the Brewers were able to line up with Wrigley.
5:17
Speaker 5: I'd rather at Wrigley. I'd rather, you know, be able
5:19
Speaker 5: to have our best guys for that series. To your
5:22
Speaker 5: point Billy earlier in the show, it's the emotional capital
5:24
Speaker 5: of game and a half that you have with a rival,
5:26
Speaker 5: and I mean, you know they all count the same
5:28
Speaker 5: with the standings. But yeah, I'd rather be the Cubs
5:31
Speaker 5: and the Dodgers if we had to have.
5:32
Speaker 2: Dodgers also have Robleski Sasaki and Yamamoto and.
5:36
Speaker 3: Yamamoto on Sundays. So yeah, Yamamoto's the bowser there on Sunday.
5:40
Speaker 3: He hasn't been as good as he was, not as
5:42
Speaker 3: good as he was in the playoffs.
5:44
Speaker 4: So far this year.
5:45
Speaker 3: But like there's some some good scars issue from this series.
5:49
Speaker 1: However, I don't know that I'll.
5:51
Speaker 3: Take too much into account against the Poison Blue. He's
5:56
Speaker 3: just swept him twice. A year ago and then got
5:58
Speaker 3: swept in the playoffs. Right, So this is the one
6:01
Speaker 3: where just allow yourself to not lose all the momentum
6:05
Speaker 3: you just gained over the last two weeks and sounds
6:09
Speaker 3: very defeatist mindset playing at home, But win one of
6:12
Speaker 3: the next three games and I'll still feel very good
6:15
Speaker 3: rolling forward against another series that again is gonna mean
6:18
Speaker 3: more to you because you're battling with them in the
6:20
Speaker 3: Cardinals deal with the Dodger problem when you have to
6:23
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and you hopefully get to deal with
6:25
Speaker 3: it in the playoffs because that means that you're probably advancing.
6:29
Speaker 3: But if you're gonna look at both teams and both
6:32
Speaker 3: back ends of the rotation, yeah, it's gonna it's gonna
6:35
Speaker 3: be a tough uphill climb because the Dodgers do kind
6:39
Speaker 3: of have their entire lineup intact, unlike they did a
6:43
Speaker 3: year ago when they came here, and it felt like
6:45
Speaker 3: some kind of little bit of remains as there were
6:48
Speaker 3: pieces out on all different stages.
6:49
Speaker 5: Well cood, it's quite the weaponry when your best picture
6:52
Speaker 5: is also your best hitter, so you can always have
6:54
Speaker 5: them available, had a pitcher to hit.
6:56
Speaker 1: It's just what they can do is show Hey. But yeah,
6:59
Speaker 1: that's a good point point, Billy.
7:00
Speaker 5: You know, it's easy to forget because we focus in
7:03
Speaker 5: the playoffs so much that you did be in the
7:04
Speaker 5: regular season last year. So to that end, yeah, you
7:07
Speaker 5: want to win games. You want to win as much
7:08
Speaker 5: as you can against anybody. You'd like to take some
7:11
Speaker 5: games here from the Dodgers. But you can't get too
7:13
Speaker 5: discourage if you don't, not only because they're good, but
7:15
Speaker 5: also because it might not. You know, it doesn't necessarily
7:18
Speaker 5: poortend anything for the postseason. A lot of us, a
7:21
Speaker 5: lot of sports fans like to just pulling out, but
7:25
Speaker 5: a lot of sports fans like to project.
7:26
Speaker 1: To the postseason. Right in baseball, it's like, well we lost.
7:29
Speaker 5: I remember the year of the Brewers lost, you know,
7:31
Speaker 5: to the Phillies two to three and they were all
7:33
Speaker 5: buy one runs. Like, see, we can't beat the good teams.
7:35
Speaker 5: It's like, well, we don't know that. Like, you beat
7:37
Speaker 5: good teams and you lose to bad teams.
7:38
Speaker 1: You don't know.
7:39
Speaker 5: Just because you do something in May or June doesn't
7:41
Speaker 5: mean it's going to happen in October. You just don't
7:43
Speaker 5: know what's gonna happen, and we still don't. So what
7:45
Speaker 5: can you do now is win the game in front
7:46
Speaker 5: of you, So hopefully the Brewers can come out and
7:48
Speaker 5: try and win those games.
7:49
Speaker 3: Poortend be a sign of warning that something, especially something monumentous,
7:54
Speaker 3: is likely to happen.
7:58
Speaker 1: Well, it's a seven o'clock hour. Gotta love it.
8:01
Speaker 4: You gotta bring the word of the day, calend Robert
8:02
Speaker 4: the seven o'clock.
8:03
Speaker 1: Are you fair?
8:03
Speaker 4: You're right?
8:03
Speaker 2: It's a little lubricator, a little lubricator, right all right,
8:06
Speaker 2: before we get to our current electric superhero the day,
8:08
Speaker 2: did you see the packers this is it's not as
8:10
Speaker 2: exciting as the schedule release, but they released the roster
8:13
Speaker 2: and the uniform numbers. If I was looking to see
8:17
Speaker 2: where mister McClellan would land, because uh, he was a
8:21
Speaker 2: single digit guy at Missouri and now he's double Nichols.
8:26
Speaker 2: That's an Awes five for Chris McClellan for a defensive
8:29
Speaker 2: tackle fifty five.
8:30
Speaker 3: I'm glad I can finally bust out my Zadarius Smith
8:33
Speaker 3: jersey and just tape over the top of it.
8:34
Speaker 4: Now throw that McClellan right there on that double nickel.
8:37
Speaker 2: So Brandon Sies grabs number two, Tyrad Taylor number six.
8:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, every quarterback's backup spin six lately.
8:44
Speaker 2: Javon Bullard switching to number seven. So if you got
8:47
Speaker 2: a Bullard jersey, it's now obsolete. You go tu okay,
8:49
Speaker 2: new one. These guys just love it because Saint Juice
8:53
Speaker 2: took twenty one and Domani Jackson is number twenty.
8:57
Speaker 1: I didn't know seven was available for some reason. Kway
9:00
Speaker 1: Walker walked down way.
9:01
Speaker 2: That's right, that's what it was.
9:03
Speaker 1: Snap that thing up right away.
9:05
Speaker 3: Tray Smack was Georgia Bulldog teammates back, give me that thing.
9:08
Speaker 2: Tray Smack got his number, twenty eight, twenty eight. Marshaon
9:12
Speaker 2: Lloyd is thirty two. I forgot. You don't get to
9:14
Speaker 2: see it very often.
9:15
Speaker 1: You almost forget what his number was. It's bad, it's bad.
9:21
Speaker 5: I mean that maybe this is the year will have
9:23
Speaker 5: healthy for Just give me like three games, let's start there.
9:27
Speaker 5: Give me two games, two games, let's start there. So
9:30
Speaker 5: small steps.
9:30
Speaker 2: McClellan and Adrian Cooper fifty five and fifty six, and
9:35
Speaker 2: Zy you're Franklin forty four. So you can see a
9:37
Speaker 2: lot of those guys.
9:38
Speaker 3: You're going to see a lot of the forty fours
9:40
Speaker 3: right there in the middle, and I love the ways
9:42
Speaker 3: I here Franklin is hawking right now. You want to
9:45
Speaker 3: feel like there could be a a pop up and
9:48
Speaker 3: a resurgence in that young man. It would come from
9:51
Speaker 3: this year and the uh the casting aside from his
9:54
Speaker 3: former team like he felt like he was.
9:56
Speaker 2: And Javon Hargrave is sliding into number ninety eight, so
10:01
Speaker 2: what a.
10:01
Speaker 3: Good big man number. I also liked, uh Jagger Burton
10:04
Speaker 3: rock in the fifty two. Yeah, that's kind of cool.
10:07
Speaker 3: I would have flipped him and denied Dennis Sutton right.
10:10
Speaker 3: There's just something with Edge Rusher in the fifty two
10:13
Speaker 3: that I do just like, Oh sorry, Raehan, grandbody's not
10:16
Speaker 3: even cold.
10:16
Speaker 1: Let's just throw that Oh wow, even better.
10:19
Speaker 3: However, Burton's gonna look smooth in that fifty two Jersey
10:22
Speaker 3: potentially taking overright guard rather soon.
10:25
Speaker 5: It's funny that like small guys that are supposed to
10:28
Speaker 5: be fast don't want to wear numbers in the forties,
10:30
Speaker 5: but big guys that aren't supposed to be fast due
10:33
Speaker 5: It's like it's like a like a sliding scale. It's
10:36
Speaker 5: like linebackers. Well, I'm an edge guy. If I were
10:38
Speaker 5: a number in the forties, I'm gonna seem fast. I'm
10:40
Speaker 5: gonna give you I'm gonna let you in on a
10:41
Speaker 5: little secret here, arman. No one wants a number in.
10:44
Speaker 3: The forties unless you unless you get forty, like forty four, Yeah,
10:49
Speaker 3: maybe forty two.
10:51
Speaker 5: You don't think like an edge rusher would rather have
10:53
Speaker 5: that than like, I don't know, the old seventy eight's
10:56
Speaker 5: and stuff like that.
10:57
Speaker 3: No, I was your number, a lineman, Yeah, thank you.
11:00
Speaker 3: Seventy is a sweet number, really great, symmetrical. It just
11:03
Speaker 3: the forties is I mean, there's a reason why if
11:06
Speaker 3: you look at the Packers rocks around Packers dot com,
11:09
Speaker 3: the majority of the forties don't have pictures yet. For
11:14
Speaker 3: the guys they made it off of rookie camp, they're
11:17
Speaker 3: not gonna have a headshot. When you start playing into
11:20
Speaker 3: the fifties, you're playing real ball. You're in the seventies,
11:22
Speaker 3: you're playing real ball. But the single digits in the
11:25
Speaker 3: nineties are are the ones that people are salivating for.
11:27
Speaker 3: And I like that we already have a ninety nine.
11:29
Speaker 3: I'm waiting for the time in the NFL, and I
11:32
Speaker 3: do think we're gonna get there. Sooner rather than later.
11:35
Speaker 3: Somebody is gonna trot onto the field with the double zero.
11:38
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna be wearing a double zero in the NFL,
11:40
Speaker 3: and it's not going to list any player behind it.
11:43
Speaker 5: Well, Matthew, yeah, any player available, player name.
11:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, it won't be insert your name here like they
11:50
Speaker 3: have there. The I'm the old East Bay catalog.
11:53
Speaker 5: The fact that, yeah, that was the best, the fact
11:55
Speaker 5: that Golden broke the ice with the zero single zero.
11:58
Speaker 5: It is a matter of time someone where they'll Robert Parrish,
12:01
Speaker 5: can you get the Russ ball at the dollar sign?
12:03
Speaker 5: People have been asking about that for a long time.
12:05
Speaker 5: Can you personalize a rustball dollar sign? That would have
12:08
Speaker 5: been the one to get. I'm not really sure if
12:09
Speaker 5: you can do that, though.
12:11
Speaker 2: I think you can, as long as it's not like
12:13
Speaker 2: some kind of I don't think I think.
12:16
Speaker 1: You'd be okay.
12:17
Speaker 5: Yeah right, Yeah, that's an interesting one. Zion Franklin tweeted
12:21
Speaker 5: opinions over statistics. Of course, I don't know what that means.
12:24
Speaker 5: But hey, he's ready to go. You gotta like that,
12:26
Speaker 5: So I like I like that. These guys are, you know,
12:28
Speaker 5: fired up ready? It should be really interesting. New Look
12:30
Speaker 5: linebacking court. So I'm excited for that.
12:33
Speaker 3: Hopeful Packers also grabbed another corner yesterday somebody who has
12:37
Speaker 3: been in the NFL for a few years, Marlon Jones.
12:41
Speaker 3: We're going to be in the number forty six. He
12:43
Speaker 3: battled cancer in college and a couple of different stops.
12:46
Speaker 3: Former Vanderbilt guy missed an entire twenty twenty four season,
12:49
Speaker 3: but his signing with the Packers coming off of time
12:52
Speaker 3: in the NFL and now hopefully us an undrafted rookie.
12:55
Speaker 3: He played at Eastern Washington and then Vandy again, missed
12:58
Speaker 3: the all of twenty twenty four season, a really good
13:00
Speaker 3: year at Vanderbilt last year, and see at thirty starts
13:03
Speaker 3: across college and he'll get a chance to be able
13:06
Speaker 3: to make the team because if they're signing you this
13:08
Speaker 3: late off of the rookie squad, Drew, that means that
13:11
Speaker 3: you went to a couple of different camps and they
13:13
Speaker 3: still liked you and wanted to bring you in. So
13:15
Speaker 3: he'll have a chance to potentially make that team. That'll
13:17
Speaker 3: be an interesting one for a twenty four year old rookie.
13:19
Speaker 2: That is a good call time for our current electric
13:21
Speaker 2: superhero of the day, brought to us by our pals
13:23
Speaker 2: at Current Electric. You see the vans with the superheroes
13:26
Speaker 2: all over the place, and it's call Current dot Com
13:29
Speaker 2: as the website. Billy, who do you got?
13:31
Speaker 1: Well?
13:31
Speaker 3: There have been a couple of nominations. Now said, there
13:35
Speaker 3: was a part of me that was going to roll
13:37
Speaker 3: into the hot dog eating part of the equation when
13:40
Speaker 3: I heard the information that you guys gave me a.
13:42
Speaker 1: Little bit earlier on here.
13:44
Speaker 3: But I'm saving that for a different story that might
13:46
Speaker 3: potentially happen a little bit later on in the day show.
13:49
Speaker 3: A Otani is going to be in town coming up
13:51
Speaker 3: this weekend, and he started out a game well better
13:55
Speaker 3: than anybody has ever before. First pitch leadoff Homer and
13:59
Speaker 3: then walks in and walks onto the mound, goes five
14:03
Speaker 3: shutout innings, locking up the San Diego Padres, earning himself
14:06
Speaker 3: his fourth win, and he's got a disgusting era, guys,
14:09
Speaker 3: right now, with point seventy three, his earn run average
14:13
Speaker 3: is point seventy three.
14:15
Speaker 4: I didn't think that.
14:17
Speaker 3: I keep looking at it and thinking that's the whip instead,
14:20
Speaker 3: that's how many times you're actually plating.
14:22

15:33
Speaker 5: uh GM, president of.
15:34
Speaker 3: The thank you for seven scoreless innings and two hits
15:37
Speaker 3: and one walking eleven. K's for Kyle Harrison. He's been
15:40
Speaker 3: named Superhero the day so many times you almost feel
15:42
Speaker 3: like you gotta go somewhere else. And Craig Breslow is
15:45
Speaker 3: a beautiful Canady.
15:46
Speaker 1: The Red Sox they call him the chief Baseball Officer.
15:49
Speaker 1: I think they thought that was cool.
15:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was yeah corporate speak.
15:52
Speaker 3: Do is there a point, Drew where teams stop answering
15:56
Speaker 3: the phone on Matt Arnold calls.
15:57
Speaker 2: I would kidding me. He wants one of our guys.
16:00
Speaker 3: No, no, no, Actually, we're gonna his agent, maybe extend them.
16:04
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, who's he asked for? Let's get
16:05
Speaker 2: his agent.
16:06
Speaker 5: On the line, unless Billy, unless you mentioned it there.
16:09
Speaker 5: Maybe they're Martin gilling his moves.
16:11
Speaker 3: He's gonna make one bad move at some point, and
16:13
Speaker 3: it's gonna be for because Jonathan's Scope move is coming
16:15
Speaker 3: sooner rather than later.
16:17
Speaker 1: Coming one time.
16:18
Speaker 2: This guy's got a best Jonathan scope.
16:20
Speaker 3: I saw Jonathan's Scope jersey running around American Family Field
16:23
Speaker 3: last week.
16:24
Speaker 1: I didn't know they made any that's so cool. It
16:26
Speaker 1: could have been a personalized it had to be.
16:28
Speaker 2: I think you know, Uh, there's an anniversary today on
16:31
Speaker 2: this date. In twenty fifteen, the Brewers lost to the
16:33
Speaker 2: Braves ten to one. Nobody remembers anything about that game
16:36
Speaker 2: other than the fact that the Brewers Will Smith was
16:38
Speaker 2: ejected in the seventh inning because he had rosin and
16:41
Speaker 2: sunscreen on his forearm and he said he's forgot to
16:45
Speaker 2: wipe off his arm before leaving the bullpen. Uh ejected
16:49
Speaker 2: a darned suspension for Will Smith back then remember those days?
16:54
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, guys, I forgot to clean it up that.
16:57
Speaker 5: You know.
16:57
Speaker 2: You haven't heard about spider tack in a long time.
16:59
Speaker 4: No, oh, you haven't.
17:00
Speaker 3: And the only reason I thought about it yesterday, Drew
17:03
Speaker 3: is because after the seventh inning, Kyle Harrison laughingly handed
17:06
Speaker 3: his glove to the umpire. He's like, yeah, I really
17:09
Speaker 3: needed it. Needed to be cheating against this lineup. Yeah, unbelievable. Yeah,
17:12
Speaker 3: well the Bullfrog sunscreen. You know, I noticed that when
17:15
Speaker 3: guys were using that during games and domes.
17:19
Speaker 4: Hearing it, rip and peel off. Why do you have sunscreen?
17:27
Speaker 1: I don't play it?
17:28
Speaker 2: Umpire is asking Jim Joyce something that Jim Joyce is
17:32
Speaker 2: directing his attention to Will Smith.
17:36
Speaker 1: What checking his glove?
17:38
Speaker 4: But he's been Will Smith has been ejected.
17:46
Speaker 1: You know, it was funny something. I don't know. I
17:48
Speaker 1: got lucky, I guess.
17:49
Speaker 5: I just he was mad on the way out, like
17:52
Speaker 5: he was indignant, and they had to blur out his lips,
17:55
Speaker 5: you know when they say dirty words and they blur
17:57
Speaker 5: it out just in case he was mad.
17:59
Speaker 1: And that's the right way to do it.
18:00
Speaker 5: If you get caught, you pretend you're just bewildered and
18:03
Speaker 5: angry about something they did.
18:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just like like if you see this
18:07
Speaker 3: picture and you think anything's going on, that's laughable.
18:09
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, exactly, love it. Yeah, love it. When
18:12
Speaker 2: we come back, laughable PCA reference. When we come back,
18:16
Speaker 2: Hunter Bombguardt's going to join our party. Brewers are rolling
18:18
Speaker 2: there off today and Hunter Bombret's going to join us
18:22
Speaker 2: to talk a little baseball coming up next. You're in the huddle,
18:24
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, rolling through a Thursday in the
18:33
Speaker 2: good Land Rebellion arm in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
18:36
Speaker 2: Oh Baby, it's our pleasure to welcome to the program
18:39
Speaker 2: our friend, Hunter Bombguart. The fourth fresh off of Brewers
18:42
Speaker 2: sweep at Wrigley Field.
18:43
Speaker 1: Doesn't get much better than that. Good Morning, Hunter, it
18:46
Speaker 1: really doesn't.
18:47
Speaker 6: Good morning, guys.
18:48
Speaker 2: Sun is shining brighter, food taste better, the beer is colder.
18:52
Speaker 2: Getting going into a holiday weekend, there's an element of
18:54
Speaker 2: house money. Brewers have the Kristin Yelli's charity event tonight.
18:57
Speaker 2: They're all going to be in good spirits. There will
18:59
Speaker 2: be a good time at Landmark Credit Union Live in
19:02
Speaker 2: the Deer District with the Brewers invading for the night. So, Hunter,
19:05
Speaker 2: we've been asking folks today what was your favorite part
19:08
Speaker 2: of the sweep? The nineteen to five run differential, PCAs
19:12
Speaker 2: mishaps in center field, the starting pitching, the home run
19:16
Speaker 2: by Jake Bowers, right when someone said green Bay sucks
19:19
Speaker 2: into the open microphone of the ambient noise at Regular Field.
19:22
Speaker 2: What was your favorite part of these last three days?
19:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, boy, there are a lot of options to choose from.
19:29
Speaker 7: It reminds you a little bit of Game one against
19:31
Speaker 7: the Cubs, because you know Game one of the NLDS
19:34
Speaker 7: last year where they just poured it on early. It
19:35
Speaker 7: felt like that happened for the entire.
19:38
Speaker 6: Series in regularly field the last three days.
19:41
Speaker 7: And it just was if you think of all the
19:44
Speaker 7: things that you would like to see as a Brewers
19:46
Speaker 7: fan happen against the Cubs, I felt like that kind
19:49
Speaker 7: of happened. The pitching dominant was dominant. You had the
19:52
Speaker 7: errors by maybe you know, one of the players that's
19:55
Speaker 7: most disliked on that Cubs team in PCA one leading
19:58
Speaker 7: to a little league home run. It just had all
20:01
Speaker 7: the makings. And also kudos to Brewers TV for the
20:04
Speaker 7: amount of times they showed Craig Council in that series.
20:07
Speaker 7: I mean you could go back and count, and I
20:08
Speaker 7: think the number would be astronomical. After everything, it was
20:11
Speaker 7: like that guy was on screen maybe more of the
20:14
Speaker 7: game at.
20:14
Speaker 3: They were trying to find him going to the bullpen
20:16
Speaker 3: phone again. They were trying so hard Hunter, Yes, and
20:21
Speaker 3: it was it.
20:22
Speaker 7: Was one more one they had to get one more into.
20:24
Speaker 7: At the very end, where he turns the corner into
20:26
Speaker 7: the clubhouse when they're going to their postgame show. But yeah,
20:29
Speaker 7: I think my favorite part, honestly is how the starter
20:32
Speaker 7: is just absolutely dominated. It's one thing to do do
20:34
Speaker 7: what they've done against maybe, you know, Pittsburgh or Washington,
20:38
Speaker 7: some teams that maybe aren't expected to be.
20:40
Speaker 6: At the at you know, in the running at the end.
20:43
Speaker 7: But it's another to do it against the Yankees, do
20:45
Speaker 7: it against the Padres, do it against the Cubs now,
20:47
Speaker 7: and especially the Cubs who you know you're gonna be
20:49
Speaker 7: battling with throughout the season.
20:50
Speaker 3: Drew, you said it earlier in the week, it was like,
20:53
Speaker 3: it's just a long line up, right, like it just
20:55
Speaker 3: it continues to come at you in waves. And when
20:58
Speaker 3: PCA is gonna be hitting seventh or eighth, that's a
21:01
Speaker 3: legit lineup. And to be able to go through and
21:05
Speaker 3: thoroughly dominate them, and for Harrison to be better than
21:08
Speaker 3: Miz I don't know many people would have had that
21:10
Speaker 3: on the Bengo card Hunter, but you're right, the caliber
21:15
Speaker 3: of opponent. I think it's like social capital with fans
21:18
Speaker 3: and the people that are in your mentions and people
21:20
Speaker 3: that you're just talking to the ones that were up
21:22
Speaker 3: at the game last week against the Twins. It's cool
21:25
Speaker 3: to beat the Twins. We like beating the Pirates. It's
21:28
Speaker 3: good to beat the Reds whenever. But it's almost like
21:30
Speaker 3: a one and a half times for the casual fan
21:33
Speaker 3: when you beat the Cubs, because there is the thought, well,
21:35
Speaker 3: they're always gonna be superior because they're a bigger market.
21:38
Speaker 4: The Dodgers and the Yankees will have that same vein.
21:41
Speaker 3: Could you feel like they're playing better baseball in a
21:44
Speaker 3: stretch where they had to have it the most because
21:46
Speaker 3: this is the toughest part of the schedule that you
21:48
Speaker 3: would have circled, and it feels like it's brought the
21:51
Speaker 3: best out of them.
21:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the wild part. You look at what the
21:54
Speaker 7: Brewers have done their last five series. They've played four
21:57
Speaker 7: of the top eight teams in baseball. They've played the Yankees,
22:01
Speaker 7: they played the Padres, they played the Cardinals, and they
22:03
Speaker 7: played the Cubs. That right now, as the record sit
22:06
Speaker 7: as we're talking right now, that is the fifth through
22:08
Speaker 7: eighth best record in baseball and they've went nine to
22:11
Speaker 7: two against those teams.
22:12
Speaker 1: Amazing.
22:13
Speaker 7: So you look at the one loss of the Padres
22:15
Speaker 7: with two outs in the ninth and then the one
22:17
Speaker 7: Cardinals loss to begin that series.
22:20
Speaker 6: Otherwise it has been nine wins.
22:22
Speaker 7: You've swept the Yankees, you've swept the Cubs, and then
22:25
Speaker 7: of course the twin Series was in there as well.
22:27
Speaker 7: But four of your last five series you played the
22:30
Speaker 7: teams with the fifth best record through the eighth and
22:32
Speaker 7: you've just nominated them. And like you said, it looked
22:34
Speaker 7: like a gauntlet, especially because, okay, it was nice that
22:36
Speaker 7: you got Churry own Vaughan back and Yelly came back
22:39
Speaker 7: and then it was out for a couple of days
22:41
Speaker 7: and now he's back. But you were like, okay, how
22:43
Speaker 7: is this going to mash? Is this going to take time?
22:45
Speaker 7: You know, they got a tough part of the schedule. Maybe,
22:48
Speaker 7: you know, be able to tread water here throughout this
22:50
Speaker 7: tough part of the schedule and really hit your stride
22:52
Speaker 7: in June, July, August like they did last year. They're
22:55
Speaker 7: starting to hit their stride sooner than that. And they've
22:58
Speaker 7: found that rhythm on offense with those guys back and
23:01
Speaker 7: being able to ride the bats of Jake Bauers and
23:04
Speaker 7: others so far in this time period where they're playing
23:08
Speaker 7: these tougher teams, and that's what makes that's what not
23:10
Speaker 7: only I mean, look, you had hope coming into the
23:12
Speaker 7: season because they're coming up ninety seven wins, but every
23:15
Speaker 7: season is different.
23:16
Speaker 6: You don't know how this team is going to mess.
23:17
Speaker 7: You definitely didn't know how the starting rotation was going
23:19
Speaker 7: to go with it being incredibly young compared to years past,
23:23
Speaker 7: and unproven and guys you hadn't seen in Burr's uniforms before.
23:26
Speaker 7: But all that has seemingly come together against these really
23:29
Speaker 7: good teams. And when that happens, I mean, that team
23:32
Speaker 7: has to have all the confidence in the world right now.
23:35
Speaker 7: And Pat Murphy has said since the beginning of the year.
23:36
Speaker 7: He reiterated it last night. He trusts the players that
23:39
Speaker 7: he has, and he trusted that they were going to
23:42
Speaker 7: do what they had to do to tread water while
23:44
Speaker 7: the guys were out. And now they're hitting their stride
23:46
Speaker 7: and they've got another one with the team with the
23:49
Speaker 7: third best record coming into American Family Field tomorrow.
23:52
Speaker 1: And fans pay attention to that around here a lot.
23:54
Speaker 5: I think we know because you know, not to put
23:56
Speaker 5: the card ahead of the horse, But now we focus
23:58
Speaker 5: on what will happen during the playoffs.
24:00
Speaker 1: Can you beat the good teams in the playoffs.
24:01
Speaker 5: Everybody's trying to find in baseball that secret formula to
24:04
Speaker 5: having playoffs success, which often you know isn't really there
24:08
Speaker 5: except for yeah, playoff players, right. But Billy's laughing. But
24:12
Speaker 5: it is a good sign. I'll say this. We don't
24:14
Speaker 5: know what's gonna happen. We talked about how the Dodgers
24:17
Speaker 5: series went really well for the Brewers last couple of years,
24:20
Speaker 5: but they couldn't beat them in the regular season, but
24:21
Speaker 5: then couldn't beat in the playoffs.
24:22
Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna happen.
24:24
Speaker 5: However, it is a good sign to see I think
24:26
Speaker 5: the young pitchers pitching so well against these lineups, because
24:28
Speaker 5: those are the guys you want to have confidence come
24:30
Speaker 5: those big moments, and I think these are the moments
24:33
Speaker 5: that helps them have that confidence.
24:35
Speaker 6: No doubt.
24:35
Speaker 7: I mean a series at a start at regularly by
24:38
Speaker 7: miz or a start at regularly by Harrison his first
24:41
Speaker 7: of his career and he goes seven shutout innings, I
24:43
Speaker 7: mean that has to give you confidence moving forward. And
24:46
Speaker 7: Harrison kind of referenced that after the game last night too.
24:49
Speaker 7: He through his first nine starts as a Brewer, he
24:51
Speaker 7: has the second best ERA of anybody who through their
24:53
Speaker 7: first nine starts as a Brewer, only behind C. C.
24:56
Speaker 6: Sabbathian. When you're mentioned around C. C.
24:58
Speaker 7: Sabathia's name, I think that's u a really really good
25:01
Speaker 7: company to be in. The Cubs also in that series,
25:04
Speaker 7: struck out on forty four percent.
25:06
Speaker 4: Of their outs.
25:07
Speaker 7: They had thirty six strikeouts in that series, forty four
25:10
Speaker 7: percent Brewers pitching. Just it wasn't just fooling them, it
25:13
Speaker 7: was fooling them and getting the strikeouts. And then the
25:15
Speaker 7: starters in that series for the Brewers one five three
25:18
Speaker 7: era when you combined Sproute, Miz and Harrison a one
25:21
Speaker 7: to five three era. The Cubs only scored in one
25:25
Speaker 7: inning against Brewers starters in that series, and that was
25:28
Speaker 7: the one inning the three runs against Brandon Sprote. Otherwise
25:30
Speaker 7: they did not score against against the Brewers starting pitchers.
25:35
Speaker 6: And the relievers only allowed two runs.
25:36
Speaker 7: Just just a masterclass in pitching for the Brewers in
25:39
Speaker 7: that series. And like you said, it gives them confidence
25:41
Speaker 7: because you didn't do it, you know, against the lineup
25:43
Speaker 7: that's floundering, or I mean the lineup is foundering now,
25:46
Speaker 7: but in their careers, put you put all those guys up,
25:49
Speaker 7: you know, in a lineup, and like as you were saying,
25:51
Speaker 7: dream Bill, like that is a deep lineup, and so
25:55
Speaker 7: to do it against them, it has to give you confidence.
25:57
Speaker 6: Moving forward.
25:57
Speaker 2: Our baseball conversation with Hunter bombret a pent by Important Minded,
26:01
Speaker 2: your trusted source for exceptional vehicle cares out twenty seventh Street,
26:04
Speaker 2: just north of eight ninety four. Hunter, I'm old enough
26:08
Speaker 2: to remember you doing an interview with David Hamilton about
26:10
Speaker 2: his bunting and using his speed. He can also hit
26:12
Speaker 2: line drives and use his speed as we saw last evening.
26:17
Speaker 6: Oh that was that was just chef's kiss.
26:20
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean that was just the amount of
26:24
Speaker 7: joy on on the social media's last night when that happened.
26:30
Speaker 6: I think of Brewers fans was just through the roof
26:33
Speaker 6: because he just that.
26:35
Speaker 7: It just was like, oh, yeah, we're you know, of
26:37
Speaker 7: course there was a lot of game left, but at
26:39
Speaker 7: that point you're.
26:39
Speaker 6: Like, you know, we're sweeping these guys.
26:40
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just that's just that, just and every
26:44
Speaker 7: upper hand the Brewers had throughout the series, there was
26:46
Speaker 7: really the only time of maybe doubt they blew him
26:49
Speaker 7: out in Game one. The second game really the only
26:51
Speaker 7: time maybe doubt was there, kept leaving runners on base
26:54
Speaker 7: in that second game on Tuesday night, and you were
26:57
Speaker 7: kind of like, eh, and then you know, but last
26:59
Speaker 7: night after that, David Hamilton, look look at what the trade,
27:04
Speaker 7: the Caleb Durbin trade did in this series alone. I mean,
27:06
Speaker 7: Drowan got the win on Monday night. You obviously did
27:09
Speaker 7: what Kyle. We saw what Kyle Harrison did last night.
27:11
Speaker 7: And David Hamilton goes three for four last night, including
27:15
Speaker 7: that little league home run. That guy you do not
27:17
Speaker 7: want to make that air against David Hamilton. You can
27:19
Speaker 7: make that air against a lot of people and they're
27:21
Speaker 7: not going to go around the bases. David Hamilton will
27:24
Speaker 7: will go around the bases almost at ease. The guy
27:26
Speaker 7: took five seconds to get the first and then took
27:27
Speaker 7: ten seconds to get around the rest of the bases.
27:29
Speaker 6: I mean, the guy just fly.
27:31
Speaker 1: That's what he brought that up. That was the incredible
27:33
Speaker 1: part about it. It wasn't even his full speed.
27:36
Speaker 3: Then he just giggles and then starts running. He's like,
27:38
Speaker 3: oh wait, sweet, sounds good.
27:40
Speaker 1: Thanks Pet.
27:42
Speaker 3: That's about as satisfying as one can have, dud. We
27:45
Speaker 3: we've been enjoying it all day long. Our friend Jonah
27:47
Speaker 3: and River Falls. Did you guys talk about PCA handing
27:49
Speaker 3: us the sweep last night?
27:50
Speaker 5: Oh?
27:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had a lot of fun with it, no
27:53
Speaker 3: doubt about it. We joked about it yesterday though. They
27:56
Speaker 3: were asking down on in Chicago on sports talk radio,
27:59
Speaker 3: like time to give PCA a day off, like mentally,
28:02
Speaker 3: to give him a break.
28:04
Speaker 4: It is it's not always who you play, it's when
28:06
Speaker 4: you play them.
28:07
Speaker 3: Could not have been at a better time to be
28:09
Speaker 3: able to capitalize on a little bit of the downside
28:11
Speaker 3: for the Cubbies, but in the health of the rotation
28:15
Speaker 3: and where the Brewers are at right now, there was
28:18
Speaker 3: some feeling like you're waiting for the cavalry to come back,
28:21
Speaker 3: You're waiting for good guys to come back. You're waiting
28:23
Speaker 3: for your Woodies, your presears to roll through, and then
28:25
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here for the Dodger series and it's Henderson's
28:29
Speaker 3: Sproute and Gasser. Earlier in the year, Hunter, I think
28:33
Speaker 3: there was a time where you thought all three of
28:35
Speaker 3: those guys would be in your rotation, and a couple
28:38
Speaker 3: of them have kind of been infused in how does
28:40
Speaker 3: the health of the staff look right now, as it
28:43
Speaker 3: still feels like people are waiting for those two to return,
28:46
Speaker 3: But right now they're making hay without they.
28:48
Speaker 7: Are and it's working, and so might as well go
28:50
Speaker 7: with I mean, they just have so much talent and
28:52
Speaker 7: that's starting the pitching department that they can afford to
28:54
Speaker 7: put Chad Patrick in the bullpen. They feel like, you know,
28:57
Speaker 7: he's best used there right now, same machine drulling. And
28:59
Speaker 7: if that's the case, you're gonna need to use a
29:01
Speaker 7: couple guys from the minor leagues, And so you bring
29:04
Speaker 7: up Logan Henderson, you bring up Robert Gasser. Obviously Coleman
29:07
Speaker 7: Crowe started last weekend against the Twins. He now has
29:10
Speaker 7: to be down there for a minimum stage, so that's
29:13
Speaker 7: why you know he's not going to pitch in that series.
29:15
Speaker 7: But look, Logan Henderson definitely has.
29:17
Speaker 6: Earned more starts.
29:18
Speaker 7: Interested to see what Gasser can do in this in
29:21
Speaker 7: this second game and especially against that Dodgers lineup, and
29:24
Speaker 7: then Brandon Sprote obviously on Sunday, and then that sets
29:27
Speaker 7: you up for misdn Harrison against the Cardinals next week,
29:30
Speaker 7: which I think is is really smart as well, kind
29:32
Speaker 7: of your same same thing you did against the Cubs.
29:35
Speaker 7: Just have those guys start and then maybe a Henderson
29:37
Speaker 7: start on that Cardinal Series finale if they keep all,
29:39
Speaker 7: you know, the five guys that they're rolling with right
29:42
Speaker 7: now and with Woodruff and Priester. Priester is set to
29:45
Speaker 7: make his his next rehab start real soon. I believe
29:47
Speaker 7: that might be today. And for the Nashville Sounds, I
29:51
Speaker 7: believe so that is, you know, that's good news and
29:54
Speaker 7: we'll see what happens there.
29:55
Speaker 2: I was just going to ask you about the Orthropedic
29:57
Speaker 2: Associates of Wisconsin Injury report or the biggest associates in Wisconsin.
30:00
Speaker 2: There is a difference Orthowisconsin dot com for the best
30:03
Speaker 2: care you'll find right here locally, world class care right
30:06
Speaker 2: here in our backyard clinic and Johnson Creek Clinic and
30:09
Speaker 2: Pewaukee where I had my hip surgery two years ago. Hunter,
30:12
Speaker 2: what is the status? I know Prescher had the rocky
30:15
Speaker 2: one and you're questioning what's up with him? What's up
30:17
Speaker 2: with Woodroff and some of the other guys that are
30:19
Speaker 2: coming back?
30:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, Woodriff, let me see, Woodriff was scheduled to throw
30:25
Speaker 7: here is scheduled to throw tomorrow in that live VP,
30:29
Speaker 7: so we will see how that goes, and you know,
30:32
Speaker 7: would assume that things would would go hopefully well there.
30:35
Speaker 7: So he's going to face Batters tomorrow, which is a
30:37
Speaker 7: significant step in the process. So that'll be tomorrow and
30:41
Speaker 7: then it's wait and see after that. Obviously they're back home,
30:44
Speaker 7: so we'll get a little more information over the weekend
30:46
Speaker 7: as far as what they're thinking maybe of timeline, still thinking,
30:49
Speaker 7: you know, we're May twenty first, so I wouldn't think
30:51
Speaker 7: either one will be back before June first, but you
30:54
Speaker 7: would love to slot. I think Woodriff will probably be
30:57
Speaker 7: back sooner than Priester, just judging stuff of you know,
31:00
Speaker 7: them saying that Woodrif probably wouldn't need a rehab assignment,
31:04
Speaker 7: so he'll probably just come back into the rotation when
31:05
Speaker 7: he's ready. You know, he said it right before the
31:08
Speaker 7: beginning of the season, like I don't want to waste
31:09
Speaker 7: any bullets down in Nashville. I would think he's gonna
31:11
Speaker 7: have the same mindset now and so and then we'll
31:16
Speaker 7: also see get a little update this weekend on Jared
31:19
Speaker 7: Kanig rob Z's down in a minor high minor league
31:23
Speaker 7: rehab assignment. So those guys are are working their way,
31:25
Speaker 7: they're making progress. I would think that we see none
31:28
Speaker 7: of them, none of the starters Woodrof for Priester before
31:32
Speaker 7: June first, I would think, you know, prop Z will
31:34
Speaker 7: see I don't know exactly what his progress is so
31:37
Speaker 7: far down to the minor leagues, but we'll see maybe
31:39
Speaker 7: before June first for him.
31:40
Speaker 6: And then Jered Kanig early June too.
31:43
Speaker 3: Depending on the results. Guys would would you be surprised
31:46
Speaker 3: if Preeser was then option to triple a like to
31:50
Speaker 3: allow him to get himself fully right, because it it
31:52
Speaker 3: feels like he might be healthy er but not fully
31:56
Speaker 3: back to forma. It could be almost you don't want
31:59
Speaker 3: to say it's May twenty first, but you feel like
32:02
Speaker 3: you could almost be a little bit of a lost year,
32:03
Speaker 3: a little bit of a gap year. Could you see
32:05
Speaker 3: that being a possibility? Are they going to forces start
32:08
Speaker 3: coming up here at the big league level?
32:11
Speaker 7: I would think that if he's healthy, as long as
32:14
Speaker 7: the results aren't like awful awful, I mean, you know,
32:17
Speaker 7: if the rehab assignment expires, and I don't know exactly
32:21
Speaker 7: when that is, but if that happens and he can't
32:23
Speaker 7: do another rehab outing, I could see them saying, all.
32:25
Speaker 6: Right, let's keep him.
32:26
Speaker 7: Let's do a couple more in Nashville to get these
32:29
Speaker 7: results a little better, get his feel for pitching a
32:32
Speaker 7: little better. I do think although the results weren't great
32:34
Speaker 7: for the when he pitched for the tim Brawlers on Saturday,
32:36
Speaker 7: I mean he worked with Chris Hook Jim Henderson at
32:38
Speaker 7: the major league level for a couple of weeks. I
32:40
Speaker 7: do think that probably helped overall. And we'll see how
32:43
Speaker 7: it plays in Nashville. But I do think that's a
32:46
Speaker 7: possibility just because of the timing. If the rehab assignment
32:49
Speaker 7: is done and they're like, well, you know what, we
32:51
Speaker 7: just we got to option them just because we want
32:53
Speaker 7: to have those results look a little better before the
32:55
Speaker 7: major league. Especially if the starting rotation is doing this,
32:58
Speaker 7: then you don't necessarily need to rushing back. And if
33:01
Speaker 7: at that time Woodriff is back to maybe you know,
33:04
Speaker 7: then your rotation looks like mis Harrison Sprote Henderson Woodriff,
33:07
Speaker 7: and I think you like how that sets up. Obviously
33:10
Speaker 7: you want Priest at the major league level, but if
33:12
Speaker 7: you need to take a little more time with that,
33:14
Speaker 7: I think they'd be able to because of the depth
33:16
Speaker 7: they have.
33:17
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody can feel better about what
33:19
Speaker 2: happened with the Brewers at Wrigley Field this week. But
33:22
Speaker 2: then retroactively, if you want to sweeten it a little bit,
33:25
Speaker 2: go back to last week when the Iowa Cubs visited
33:28
Speaker 2: Nashville and in the minor leagues. Now on Triple A,
33:30
Speaker 2: you play these six game series. You're there from Tuesday
33:32
Speaker 2: through Sunday, and Nashville ran the table.
33:35
Speaker 1: And won six. You like that, Iowa, So that was that.
33:41
Speaker 2: Was a kick to the cup.
33:42
Speaker 1: So Hunter, this whole thing.
33:44
Speaker 2: We always talk about how in sports ninety percent of
33:46
Speaker 2: being a fan that's getting kicked in the nets.
33:47
Speaker 1: Today is a ten percent day. So we're living large.
33:50
Speaker 2: We're enjoying the hell out of this, which is I
33:53
Speaker 2: guess as we should.
33:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, Data Bass, come on now, let's enjoy it a
33:56
Speaker 3: little bit. Yeah, worry about the Dodgers tomorrow. He'll be fleeting.
34:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is wild though, the Brewers playing the Cubs.
34:05
Speaker 7: Of course they win the series against the Cubs. Now
34:07
Speaker 7: they played the Dodgers. I wonder when that happened. Oh yeah,
34:09
Speaker 7: like six months ago in October. Weird how the schedule
34:11
Speaker 7: set up where they played both of their playoff opponents
34:13
Speaker 7: back to back. But they're the hottest they've been this year.
34:16
Speaker 7: And of course you've got the the you know, the
34:19
Speaker 7: win over the Cubs already in your back pocket. So
34:21
Speaker 7: let's see what they could do Henderson Friday, and then
34:24
Speaker 7: gas Er Saturday, and sprote Sunday for the starting pitchers,
34:26
Speaker 7: and you will not face Otani who started last.
34:28
Speaker 2: Night, thank god, thank god. And there and the Dodgers
34:31
Speaker 2: just played the Powders in an emotional series too, So
34:34
Speaker 2: both teams played their rivals, and now they're the kind
34:37
Speaker 2: of the new rival, the postseason rival. On the way
34:39
Speaker 2: out Hunter. We talk about wild Bill all the time
34:42
Speaker 2: in terms of handling the pitching staff and what he
34:44
Speaker 2: does defensively and you know, and helping guide the pitchers
34:48
Speaker 2: and instituting Chris Hook's plan. He started hit a little
34:50
Speaker 2: bit too, started to notice that wild Bill's knocking on
34:53
Speaker 2: the door of being a three hundred hitter again. What
34:55
Speaker 2: does that mean? What does that jolt mean for the
34:58
Speaker 2: Brewers offense? Yeah, it means it means really good things.
35:02
Speaker 2: I mean, when you have what Trey has done to
35:03
Speaker 2: start the year. You get Jackson Schurio, who's been hot
35:06
Speaker 2: since he came off.
35:07
Speaker 1: The IL uh.
35:08
Speaker 7: You know, Jake Bauers obviously, and Christian Yelich been doing
35:11
Speaker 7: what I mean you just that lineup just it feels.
35:14
Speaker 6: Like it continues to get deeper.
35:15
Speaker 7: You have those guys all healthy and look out self
35:18
Speaker 7: Freelick is starting to hit the ball a little better too.
35:20
Speaker 7: And then you know, last night you get the production
35:22
Speaker 7: out of the bottom of the lineup, and and what
35:24
Speaker 7: we've what we said all year is you know that
35:26
Speaker 7: there's kind of that clear hole at the bottom of
35:28
Speaker 7: the lineup with the left side of the infield if
35:30
Speaker 7: they can at all. You know, Joey Ortiz is starting
35:32
Speaker 7: to get on base a little more, walking a little
35:34
Speaker 7: more here in the last week or so, so that's
35:36
Speaker 7: good news. At what point do they decide to, you know,
35:40
Speaker 7: make decisions on that left side of the infield. We'll see,
35:42
Speaker 7: I kind of said last night on the show, like
35:44
Speaker 7: we saw the air from Hamilton on Tuesday night, then
35:47
Speaker 7: we saw Rene Folt that was somehow rulled a hit,
35:49
Speaker 7: but he was basically an error. And so you had
35:53
Speaker 7: those guys make those mistakes. And I said, if if
35:56
Speaker 7: the left side of the infield starts to make fielding
35:58
Speaker 7: mistakes more and more, that's when I think he'll start
36:01
Speaker 7: to see like, not that offense doesn't matter, but this team,
36:03
Speaker 7: what have we seen.
36:04
Speaker 6: Over the years, they prioritize the defensive side.
36:07
Speaker 7: So if they start to make more and more errors
36:09
Speaker 7: over there, then you're I think you're gonna see maybe
36:11
Speaker 7: a quicker hook over there for a guy like Jet
36:13
Speaker 7: Williams or Cooper Pratt who Pratt homeward again last night.
36:16
Speaker 7: So like they are, you know, they're obviously playing well
36:19
Speaker 7: in Nashville, and I think that's when you'd see it
36:21
Speaker 7: on the left side of the infield. But otherwise, man, yeah,
36:23
Speaker 7: William Contreras doing what he does defensively, offensively, I think
36:27
Speaker 7: he's underrated. You know, I was talking to someone a
36:30
Speaker 7: couple of nights ago, and I said, I think he
36:32
Speaker 7: reminds Catreras reminds me of Aaron Rodgers a little bit.
36:35
Speaker 6: The way he thinks about the game.
36:37
Speaker 7: He's thinking about every little thing when he's behind the plate,
36:41
Speaker 7: and of course on offense too, but on that defensive side.
36:44
Speaker 7: Dal Hall throws five of six pitches. His first five
36:46
Speaker 7: of six were balls. Last night, he goes out, he
36:48
Speaker 7: talks to him. Dale Hall does not throw another ball
36:50
Speaker 7: in the inning. Six pitches later, they're out of the
36:52
Speaker 7: inning and gets three outs, like he just knows the
36:55
Speaker 7: timing of it.
36:55
Speaker 2: He's already mastered. Like the challenge too. He's been pretty
36:58
Speaker 2: good the challenge. It's another he's just got a high
37:01
Speaker 2: baseball IQ. I'm glad you fit in a little Rogers
37:03
Speaker 2: in there.
37:04
Speaker 1: A Hunter.
37:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a baby Hunter mid season form season form.
37:12
Speaker 2: Absolutely Hunter? Are you ready for your close up today?

Speaker 3: I was gonna say there's a couple of candidates. Now
38:58
Speaker 3: number one is gonna be hard to beat. Joey chesnutt
39:01
Speaker 3: pleads guilty after allegedly slapping a man in an Indiana bar.
39:05
Speaker 3: This from Hamilton County. Competitive eaterer Joey Chestnut pleaded guilty
39:10
Speaker 3: to battery in a connection to an incident that happened
39:12
Speaker 3: in an.
39:12
Speaker 4: Indiana bar earlier this year.
39:13
Speaker 3: Late March, police and Westfield received a call from a
39:17
Speaker 3: victim who claimed that Chessnut, forty two, had slapped him
39:19
Speaker 3: in the face at a bar. Officers explained in court
39:23
Speaker 3: documents that footage did show that Chestnuts slapped the man
39:26
Speaker 3: after shaking his hand. Chestnut told officers that he did
39:30
Speaker 3: not recall the incident, claimed that if he had slapped
39:33
Speaker 3: the victim's face, it was in a quote fun way. However,
39:37
Speaker 3: one officer showed him the footage, he allegedly said that
39:41
Speaker 3: didn't look nice. Was something there must have been something?
39:46
Speaker 3: He said, said, sorry, I couldn't fully remember it. So
39:50
Speaker 3: he's gonna now serve one hundred and eighty days of probation,
39:55
Speaker 3: ordered to pay a one hundred and eighty nine dollars fine.
39:58
Speaker 4: So that means that Chestnut will be competing this year.
40:02
Speaker 3: At the Nathan to Hot Dog Eating Contest on probation probation.
40:05
Speaker 1: But he's still competing.
40:06
Speaker 3: So they're still allowed to compete because we all saw
40:09
Speaker 3: what it was like when Joey Chestnut wasn't in.
40:11
Speaker 1: The hot dogging contest.
40:12
Speaker 3: It wasn't a contest, was there was no reason to
40:15
Speaker 3: watch no juice, Joey Jaw's chestnut was not a part
40:18
Speaker 3: of it.
40:18
Speaker 1: No jews.
40:19
Speaker 3: I would like to know how that guy's jaw felt
40:21
Speaker 3: after getting smacked by jaws.
40:22
Speaker 2: Though, all right, any idea what we're going to be
40:24
Speaker 2: talking about tomorrow because there's Yellowich concert. No Brewers came
40:28
Speaker 2: to talk about.
40:29
Speaker 1: That's a really good Nick Calves.
40:31
Speaker 4: Maybe more Georgia Bulldogs.
40:33
Speaker 1: I'm sure something will come up.
40:34
Speaker 2: Actually, we would just look ahead to the Dodgers series,
40:37
Speaker 2: in the Cardinals series. After that, we're in the in
40:39
Speaker 2: the stretch of we're in the throes of baseball. I
40:41
Speaker 2: might just watch last night's game again tonight, I might
40:43
Speaker 2: have to well. In any event, we'll see at five
40:45
Speaker 2: o'clock tomorrow.
40:46
Speaker 6: Woo.
