2:17
Speaker 5: the transpirings in that fourth quarter. Went with the New
2:20
Speaker 5: York Knicks and the Cleveland Calves last night.
2:23
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of highway to traverse before that

Speaker 2: could happen. Brewers meanwhile, one game away from a sweep tonight,
2:28
Speaker 2: and they always hated but never feared cups. Armand Sarian
2:32

Speaker 2: Viral influencer cub fan, fake fan. I'm only tangentially aware
2:51
Speaker 2: of her from last year and her angry videos and
2:54
Speaker 2: during the playoffs and just one of Arm's favorites.
2:56
Speaker 4: Well it's her and the other guy from his like
2:58
Speaker 4: computer desk in his bed that does that.
3:00
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I see now, don't give m Bone
3:04
Speaker 5: has been doing it for a long time, so he's
3:06
Speaker 5: got he's got cred.
3:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, M Bone's og. Now, of course, with any of
3:09
Speaker 4: these things situations, you ask how genuine is this? Now?
3:12
Speaker 4: We weren't there accusations Lobdad Brie that she's been doing
3:16
Speaker 4: this for a lot of fan bases. Lot, this is
3:18
Speaker 4: a business, right, I mean, she knows how to do it,
3:20
Speaker 4: but like a lot of fan bases, like I don't know,
3:24
Speaker 4: it just seems like one boom last night. This seems
3:26
Speaker 4: like she does better at that stuff then he does.
3:28
Speaker 4: I don't know what the difference is, but listen, business
3:30
Speaker 4: wasn't booming last night, or maybe it was. I don't know,
3:32
Speaker 4: but there's nothing better than these cup fan tiers man
3:34
Speaker 4: after we win a game like that. So it's been
3:36
Speaker 4: a wonderful couple of weeks. And uh yeah, last night
3:39
Speaker 4: was another another great chapter so far in this in
3:42
Speaker 4: this season, where the Brewers beat the Cubs again and
3:45
Speaker 4: miss oh good god, baby, yeah, oh baby.
3:48
Speaker 2: So yeah, we gotta start with this Knickscavs thing because
3:52
Speaker 2: and I were chatting about it. If you don't, if
3:54
Speaker 2: you aren't aware, if you were asleep, if you checked out,
3:56
Speaker 2: or you just don't, don't follow the NBA that closely
3:58
Speaker 2: because the Bucks are out of it. The next stage
4:02
Speaker 2: didn't absolutely epic come back for the Ages last night.
4:05
Speaker 4: Eate it in part.
4:06
Speaker 2: Now, whenever a team chokes, you can say the whole
4:08
Speaker 2: team choked and everything is a team effort, but it.
4:10
Speaker 4: Was five on one.
4:12
Speaker 2: It's see my goodness, and James Harden, who has been
4:15
Speaker 2: playing in the NBA for I don't know most of
4:17
Speaker 2: Billy's life seventeen years, is it was at the center
4:21
Speaker 2: of it on both ends of the floor. I don't
4:24
Speaker 2: think you've ever seen like thrown in the Torchard chamber
4:27
Speaker 2: the uh remember like early in the Bad News Bearers
4:31
Speaker 2: when Timmy Lupis was the go to you know, missing
4:33
Speaker 2: balls and stuff well, and nobody wanted to hit to
4:35
Speaker 2: him like nobody wanted any Harden. They just attacked him
4:38
Speaker 2: on both ends of the court. And you can for
4:41
Speaker 2: a guy who is going to be a Hall of
4:43
Speaker 2: Famer and a Hall of fame resume, it's like you
4:46
Speaker 2: go back and think about his career defining moments and
4:49
Speaker 2: other than news of strip clubs and wanting his way
4:51
Speaker 2: out of markets and switching from team to teams and stuff, and.
4:55
Speaker 4: This is it.
4:56
Speaker 2: He's gonna be known for this game, My god, dude,
4:59
Speaker 2: is team and with a ninety nine point one percent
5:02
Speaker 2: chance of winning the game with eight minutes left up
5:04
Speaker 2: by twenty two to Oh my god, they got outscored
5:08
Speaker 2: by like thirty in the final eight minutes of the game.
5:12
Speaker 5: Final seven and a half minutes in ot they got
5:14
Speaker 5: it right here. Forty four to eleven and fifteen of
5:17
Speaker 5: twenty one were the knicks in that moment, and it
5:19
Speaker 5: felt like all fifteen of those buckets were directly against
5:23
Speaker 5: cart with.
5:24
Speaker 2: Him falling down and offering almost no resistance.
5:26
Speaker 4: It was comical.
5:28
Speaker 2: It was it's hard to envision, like one man, causey
5:33
Speaker 2: you think of the great you know, the great moments
5:35
Speaker 2: in basketball where guys are goats, like if guys miss
5:38
Speaker 2: a free throw or if.
5:40
Speaker 4: And by the way, you mean goat is like the yeah.
5:42
Speaker 5: The og good clarification there.
5:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, these kids today don't goat is not like the
5:51
Speaker 4: whole bad thing. There's a lot of moments like that.
5:53
Speaker 4: You know, Nick Anderson missing a free throw.
5:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking about like Freddy Brown from Georgetown turn
5:57
Speaker 2: the ball over. What didn't he do that against North
5:59
Speaker 2: Carolina on stuff?
6:00
Speaker 4: Well? Whatever, right, A lot of those, you know, those
6:05
Speaker 4: were like moments. This was like this was never ending.
6:09
Speaker 4: This was a barrage. It this was ten minutes of
6:13
Speaker 4: the torture chamber. Is the best way to put it, dude,
6:15
Speaker 4: and then the entire Cabs bench's like, a.
6:17
Speaker 5: It's okay, Jimmy, It's okay, You're gonna get him next time.
6:20
Speaker 4: You're gonna get him next time. Somebody go get the guy.
6:22
Speaker 4: So somebody go get him some help.
6:24
Speaker 5: Somebody go put Dennis Shrewder in the game and try
6:26
Speaker 5: to stop this bleeding Shack. First question that he asks
6:30
Speaker 5: of Jalen Brunts it was like, so.
6:32
Speaker 4: Later in the game, it felt like you were targeting
6:34
Speaker 4: James Hardener. Was that just how it was working out? Brunson,
6:36
Speaker 4: there's that moment in his head. He's like, it is
6:38
Speaker 4: game one? Do I bury him? And say, yes, Shack,
6:43
Speaker 4: you know exactly what the game plan was.
6:45
Speaker 5: No, he did the nice thing. He did the customer service.
6:48
Speaker 5: The ball was going in, so I was just trying
6:49
Speaker 5: to find my spot. It didn't matter who was on me,
6:52
Speaker 5: but it mattered who was on the guy shooting the
6:54
Speaker 5: basketball for the Knicks because he had he was given
6:56
Speaker 5: no resistance and Drew I'm trying to find like some
6:59
Speaker 5: kind of compare because Harden was a great player, right, Like,
7:02
Speaker 5: I mean, there's there's a lot of resumes that stack
7:06
Speaker 5: up in the twenty first century. His scoring resume is
7:09
Speaker 5: amongst some of the best of all time. Incredible, but
7:13
Speaker 5: like you try to find his singular playoff moments and
7:16
Speaker 5: they're all of the worst variety, mostly in Game sevens
7:19
Speaker 5: and then that one in Game one last night where
7:22
Speaker 5: he just looks completely cooked. And if you're a Cavs
7:25
Speaker 5: fan today, you're waking up saying, brutal feeling. Okay, so
7:28
Speaker 5: now we got to win five games and we gotta
7:30
Speaker 5: pay that guy how much money next year to be
7:32
Speaker 5: a skeletal remains of himself out there in the number
7:34
Speaker 5: one jersey.
7:35
Speaker 4: That was brutal to watch, and just the mental battle
7:39
Speaker 4: to come back, you know, to to try and come
7:42
Speaker 4: back and play and win a series when you know
7:44
Speaker 4: you blew a lead like that in Game one on
7:46
Speaker 4: the road, and a lead like that I'm not talking
7:48
Speaker 4: about in the first quarter. You know, you look up,
7:50
Speaker 4: you know, just for reference, you're looking at the greatest
7:52
Speaker 4: comebacks in NBA playoff history, and you know there's a
7:55
Speaker 4: lot out there. The Warriors came the Clippers came back
7:58
Speaker 4: from like thirty one points against the Warriors in nineteen
8:01
Speaker 4: I think there were other a lot of other ones,
8:03
Speaker 4: you know that not too distant pass. But they're all
8:07
Speaker 4: like first quarter, second quarter, you know, twenty thirty point leads.
8:11
Speaker 4: This was a twenty two point lead with less than
8:13
Speaker 4: eight minutes to go. Wrap your head around that though,
8:16
Speaker 4: probably when probability was ninety nine point nine, shouldn't just
8:20
Speaker 4: an unfathomable collapse. And the thing is, and you said it, Billy,
8:24
Speaker 4: no one's going to get him. I mean, the issue
8:27
Speaker 4: is pretty much laid out for you here. James Harden
8:30
Speaker 4: is getting you know, hunted on d and can let's
8:32
Speaker 4: match up. Okay, those things happen like you go, you
8:36
Speaker 4: make a move, you make a change, you call all
8:38
Speaker 4: the time. Well, Kenny liked his timeouts.
8:40
Speaker 2: He told everybody again retroactively, I feel much better about
8:44
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday trying to chase Jimmy Butler.
8:46
Speaker 4: Oh that's very fair, yeah, because this was way worse.
8:51
Speaker 2: This was way worse. So according to the stat nerds, now,
8:55
Speaker 2: James Harden, like I said, seventeen years in league, thirty
8:58
Speaker 2: six years, Oh yeah, MVP again through heavy minutes and
9:02
Speaker 2: then they just target him every because I don't know,
9:05
Speaker 2: Mike Brown is a pretty solid coach, right, Oh for sure, definitely.
9:09
Speaker 2: He just realized that Harden can't stay in front of
9:12
Speaker 2: our guy. Yeah, let's just get it to Jalen. And
9:14
Speaker 2: it's not the next to go to Jalen Brunson when
9:17
Speaker 2: they need buckets. Not exactly a novel concept.
9:22
Speaker 4: So they were like, all right, well, which what you know,
9:23
Speaker 4: we're gonna take some chances here.
9:25
Speaker 2: So Brown, they said, oh, so clearly you're going after Harden.
9:28
Speaker 2: He said, you know, sometimes you got to do what
9:30
Speaker 2: the game dictates. We were trying to do the same
9:33
Speaker 2: thing with Jalen, and so we said, okay, we feel
9:35
Speaker 2: we could play that game. We try not to play
9:37
Speaker 2: that game much, but we feel we have a guy
9:39
Speaker 2: that we can play that game in with Jalen Jalen
9:41
Speaker 2: bruns And so you know, we just like to figure
9:44
Speaker 2: out trying to figure out ways to guard Harden and
9:46
Speaker 2: Mitchell and they got to figure out ways to guard Jalen.
9:48
Speaker 2: But we were there's no secret we were attacking Harden, like, hold.
9:55
Speaker 4: On, let me figure out how I get this really
9:57
Speaker 4: really nicely.
9:58
Speaker 2: No, so in the fourth quarter over time, they got
10:00
Speaker 2: him in nine isolations. The points per possession is the
10:04
Speaker 2: big egghead stat in the ESA that the favorite right now,
10:07
Speaker 2: so nine isolations and they produced one point nine points
10:11
Speaker 2: per possession, So basically it was just bucket City. So
10:16
Speaker 2: that's an eighteen that's like eighteen points of the twenty
10:19
Speaker 2: two point comeback right there, directly isolated against as the
10:23
Speaker 2: kids would say on his head, and the other couple
10:26
Speaker 2: would have come from something called Landry Shammitt. That I mean,
10:29
Speaker 2: if you're really you really got to be a league
10:31
Speaker 2: pass guy to be enjoying the stylings of Landry Shammitt.
10:35
Speaker 4: Playing a playoff got him.
10:37
Speaker 2: Here's Mike Brown also saying going back to his history
10:41
Speaker 2: playing Harden, because Harden's played it a long time.
10:43
Speaker 4: Like we said, six thirty.
10:45
Speaker 2: Seven years old, when I was with Golden State, we
10:47
Speaker 2: played Houston in the playoffs. We counted James Harden's dribbles.
10:51
Speaker 2: You know, we told our guys, hey, he's dribbling close
10:53
Speaker 2: to a thousand times. He's dribbling almost a thousand times
10:56
Speaker 2: a game, and so our high guys kd at like
10:59
Speaker 2: three hundred or right below three hundred. Keep picking them
11:02
Speaker 2: up full court, keep making them dribble because at the
11:04
Speaker 2: end of the series, at the end of games, it's
11:06
Speaker 2: gonna wear them down.
11:07
Speaker 4: And they already had played, you know. That was the
11:09
Speaker 4: other thing that people had wondered about the caves or
11:13
Speaker 4: thought it might be a disadvantage. They already played two
11:15
Speaker 4: game sevens, so they're walking in yes, in rhythm, which
11:18
Speaker 4: helped them early, but also playing fourteen games. So the
11:20
Speaker 4: question was gonna be would they get worn down? Obviously
11:22
Speaker 4: that's a factor. Now James Harden getting worn down is
11:25
Speaker 4: a totally different deal, you know, because he has a
11:27
Speaker 4: lot going on with the honey buns and stuff like that,
11:29
Speaker 4: so he you know, he's already they've already played a
11:31
Speaker 4: lot of games and specifically hardened. Would they get worn down?
11:34
Speaker 4: And clearly they did in the fourth quarter. That was
11:36
Speaker 4: that was an obvious factor for the whole team, is
11:39
Speaker 4: they didn't have much energy left. But it was pretty
11:42
Speaker 4: interesting to see that on display manifest itself, that the
11:45
Speaker 4: whole long layoff of the Knicks and then the Russ
11:47
Speaker 4: versus rest and that rest in the end turned out.
11:50
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, I mean, warn the tough thing.
11:53
Speaker 5: Is, I don't even know that it was necessarily a
11:54
Speaker 5: huge thing of rest. It was just the fact of
11:56
Speaker 5: one guy being absolutely old and out of out of
12:00
Speaker 5: sorts at the end and arming to that point. Drew
12:02
Speaker 5: and I were joking about it yesterday, like I'll be
12:04
Speaker 5: taking the Calves moneyline game two.
12:07
Speaker 4: But I would imagine there were a lot of tired
12:09
Speaker 4: legs last.
12:09
Speaker 5: Night, and instead it was Donovan Mitchell keeping them in
12:12
Speaker 5: the game for long enough, a couple of bigs for
12:14
Speaker 5: Cleveland being able to find something in that third quarter,
12:17
Speaker 5: and then they thought they were playing European rules, Drew,
12:19
Speaker 5: and they thought the game was not in forty minutes.
12:21
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson, coach of the Calves, who many wanted to
12:24
Speaker 2: coach the Buck and he wanted to be here. He said,
12:29
Speaker 2: we got a little unlucky, played great basketball, tight for
12:32
Speaker 2: three quarters, you know, unfortunate fourth quarter. They dominated us
12:35
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Now, during that eighteen to one run, Kenny,
12:37
Speaker 2: you might have thought to call a time.
12:39
Speaker 4: Out, maybe take one. So maybe looking, let's find.
12:41
Speaker 2: A way to switch, yes where Harden can get some
12:44
Speaker 2: help with Brunson, and let's find a way to switch
12:46
Speaker 2: more effectively, quick more quick, quickly.
12:49
Speaker 4: But you can't affect the game. Was the Calves.
12:51
Speaker 2: The four Calves starters who played in overtime, none of
12:54
Speaker 2: them scored. They were cooked, man, they were They were absolutely, Coo.
12:59
Speaker 2: You Donovan Mitchell, like you said, Billy was, he was great.
13:02
Speaker 2: But Donovan Mitchell and Harden over the in that forty
13:06
Speaker 2: four to eleven run combined to go one for ten,
13:08
Speaker 2: no assists with two turnovers.
13:10
Speaker 5: Well, and it's just like they just took the air
13:12
Speaker 5: out of the ball, and like you see teams do
13:15
Speaker 5: this in an NFL game, Drew, we were talking about
13:17
Speaker 5: it yesterday at our Packers speaker series. I don't know
13:19
Speaker 5: that the NFL has ever mirrored the NBA in this
13:23
Speaker 5: way more than it does right now that if you
13:26
Speaker 5: get yourself a fat cushiony two to three score lead,
13:30
Speaker 5: just know there's going to be a time where the
13:32
Speaker 5: opponent has the football with a chance to go take
13:34
Speaker 5: the lead. Like the edge feels like how it goes,
13:37
Speaker 5: especially later into the season, and they were gonna make
13:41
Speaker 5: some kind of run at some point. You got to
13:44
Speaker 5: be able to stop the momentum, stem the tide. But
13:46
Speaker 5: these teams just get sucked into it as well, and
13:49
Speaker 5: Cleveland got sucked up in We're gonna try to end
13:52
Speaker 5: the game as soon as possible at twenty four seconds
13:55
Speaker 5: at a time, twenty four seconds at a time, they
13:57
Speaker 5: dribbled that thing out as long as they could, settled
14:00
Speaker 5: for bad shot after bad shot, as Jalen Brunson was
14:03
Speaker 5: just like, all right, give me one of those amish
14:06
Speaker 5: grills where they literally are just flipping the chicken left
14:09
Speaker 5: and right. He sprintses it a little bit, flips that
14:10
Speaker 5: thing back over. It was right elbow, left elbow, right elbow,
14:14
Speaker 5: left elbow. Sweet, all right, lead done. It was incredible
14:18
Speaker 5: to watch one guy just say now I am gonna
14:22
Speaker 5: take it over and light the whole place up, because
14:24
Speaker 5: that gym was silent for three and a half quarters
14:28
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden it was the mecha
14:30
Speaker 5: that everybody was talking about.
14:31
Speaker 4: It gonna be throughout the throughout the prelims. CJ on
14:34
Speaker 4: the YouTube comment the fact that the Cavs had the
14:36
Speaker 4: game winning bucket also halfway down and popped out, I
14:39
Speaker 4: think he's right. I think five Box's legend Sam Meryl
14:41
Speaker 4: tam Merril, and there was a lot, a lot of
14:43
Speaker 4: things that had to go badly to lose the lead
14:45
Speaker 4: like that, not just one matchup, but that was the
14:47
Speaker 4: biggest thing. But I think the thing about Kenny saying
14:49
Speaker 4: that we were unlucky, like I think he has a
14:51
Speaker 4: point there. I mean, you do have to have a
14:53
Speaker 4: little bit of bad luck to let things go against you,
14:57
Speaker 4: to lose lead like that. But nobody wants to hear
14:59
Speaker 4: that in that moment. I want to hear why didn't
15:00
Speaker 4: you do the things too affected that you could have
15:02
Speaker 4: done aka timeout, aka switching a matchup, aka anything and everything,
15:06
Speaker 4: maybe telling your team to play a little more aggressive
15:09
Speaker 4: on offense. But yeah, the Knicks did get you know,
15:12
Speaker 4: kind of the Knicks kind of saved themselves from their
15:15
Speaker 4: own disappointment and their own questions after Game one of
15:18
Speaker 4: you know, and we heard the great Rapper camera on
15:21
Speaker 4: Billy said yesterday on first Day. It's like the Knicks
15:24
Speaker 4: usually disappoint us in this moment, and they were on
15:26
Speaker 4: pace or they were poised to have another big Game
15:29
Speaker 4: one disappointment in the garden in front of all of
15:31
Speaker 4: New York City, which they tend to do, but they
15:35
Speaker 4: were able to escape, or at least grab victory from
15:38
Speaker 4: the jaws of defeat there and find a way to
15:40
Speaker 4: escape that criticism. Now Game two, what's gonna happen. That's
15:44
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting the chess game for the rest of
15:46
Speaker 4: the series after this, because yeah, Billy. I know your
15:48
Speaker 4: point was, you know always, you know, moneyline, Game two
15:51
Speaker 4: on the road team and all that stuff, But boy,
15:53
Speaker 4: i'd be question.
15:54
Speaker 5: I'll be taking a double take at that one. I mean,
15:57
Speaker 5: I'll be making a double look at that investment before
16:00
Speaker 5: seeing that. I gotta I gotta see how the next
16:03
Speaker 5: couple of days play out.
16:04
Speaker 4: That was.
16:05
Speaker 5: That's a painful one if you're a Cleveland fan. Luckily
16:08
Speaker 5: we're not. Luckily we did get to watch the uh
16:10
Speaker 5: we got to watch the Mizzen Company in the freelims
16:14
Speaker 5: in the beginning, and then that dude in the Yuker
16:16
Speaker 5: shirt just getting you want to talk about the torture Chamber,
16:18
Speaker 5: When when that poor young lady was getting the guy
16:21
Speaker 5: in the yellow Yuker shirt last night to tell her
16:23
Speaker 5: about the frozen yogurt, it felt like the torture Chamber, like.
16:26
Speaker 4: That meme, Like one of those memes I feel like,
16:29
Speaker 4: uh yeah.
16:30
Speaker 5: Jeff and Vinnie did a great job bringing that meme
16:32
Speaker 5: to life last night on Brewers TV. But it felt
16:36
Speaker 5: like a eleven to nothing game that was in a
16:38
Speaker 5: three to nothing game that got a little bit tight,
16:40
Speaker 5: testier drew than I think a lot of people were
16:42
Speaker 5: anticipating for it would just.
16:44
Speaker 2: A little bit. You gotta have a little spice in there, right,
16:46
Speaker 2: have some fun. Come on, you gotta add some ratings.
16:48
Speaker 2: But man, miss Rowsky, and.
16:51

17:47

17:50
Speaker 2: a comfortable chair and a hotter cold beverage of your
17:53
Speaker 2: choice and buckle up for the huddle on Fox Sports
17:55
Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin.
17:58
Speaker 5: Deep center headed towards the bleachers and in the basket
18:03
Speaker 5: and gum.
18:06
Speaker 4: Rice terrang a two run shot. The Brewers will take
18:09
Speaker 4: that shot in the arm.
18:17
Speaker 1: Number seven.
18:23
Speaker 2: Oh baby, Brewers beat the Cubs a sweep. They're at
18:26
Speaker 2: the doorstep of a sweep. I gotta imagine a friend
18:31
Speaker 2: of the program and former friend of the community who
18:34
Speaker 2: resides in Whitesress Bay is not happy with the proceedings.
18:37
Speaker 2: Oh no, I can't imagine after losing a series to
18:40
Speaker 2: the White Sox, after you know, losing the first two
18:43
Speaker 2: to they always hated but never fear Brewers. The Cubs
18:46
Speaker 2: are in third place.
18:48
Speaker 4: In that that's crazy one again. Yeah it is crazy.
18:54
Speaker 2: But by the way, today's show is dedicated to any
18:56
Speaker 2: smartt looking listeners we may have in Mount Horeb because
18:59
Speaker 2: that's the home of the mustard Museum.
19:01
Speaker 1: I love that.
19:01
Speaker 4: And I found me some.
19:03
Speaker 2: Spicy brown oday to elevate my beef stick in the morning.
19:07
Speaker 2: Look at you, and I'm like, I have this mustard
19:11
Speaker 2: flavor that's Caloria in the office. And it's like, oh,
19:14
Speaker 2: because I had this when I was eating some Deli
19:16
Speaker 2: turkey one day. Spicy Brown elevated my morning beef stick
19:21
Speaker 2: on the normalness. So I thought, oh, yeah, Mount horrib
19:24
Speaker 2: we probably got some listeners in Mount Horrbe who are
19:26
Speaker 2: near the mustard nauseum.
19:27
Speaker 4: When we were young, you know, when we were younger
19:29
Speaker 4: and a little more poor. Well not that that's changed,
19:31
Speaker 4: but me and my buddies would go to Miller Time
19:33
Speaker 4: Pub after like some games that you know, you know
19:36
Speaker 4: the one in uh Hilton, the Hilton, and they they
19:39
Speaker 4: would put these like free pretzel nibblets on the table
19:41
Speaker 4: and we would just put the mustard on there and
19:43
Speaker 4: eat him like that. So that is delicious. I hate
19:45
Speaker 4: to be that guy, but I think they moved the
19:46
Speaker 4: Mustard Museum to Middleton. But anyway, it was not Horrible
19:50
Speaker 4: shut off to both Mount Horrible. It was originally Mount
19:52
Speaker 4: horrib but now it might be Middleton. Also, mustard doesn't
19:54
Speaker 4: spoil good point. But back to us being the Cubs
19:58
Speaker 4: being the Cubs.
19:59
Speaker 2: Birds won ten of twelve, they take the series already,
20:02
Speaker 2: chance for the sweep today and it's taken two weeks.
20:05
Speaker 2: So that's what you love about this time of year.
20:06
Speaker 2: In two weeks, the Brewers went from last to first
20:09
Speaker 2: in the best division in Major League Baseball, the NL
20:12
Speaker 2: Central Brewers. We said it yesterday. They had the chance
20:15
Speaker 2: to the triple up. They could win the series, move
20:19
Speaker 2: to ten games over and move into first place. Yeah,
20:22
Speaker 2: triple dip for the Brewers. And now you missed a
20:25
Speaker 2: complix and.
20:25
Speaker 4: Now the chance for the sweep obviously, which would be
20:27
Speaker 4: a really a cherry on top of the Sunday or
20:29
Speaker 4: the mustard on top of the beef steak.
20:31
Speaker 2: However you want to yeah, however you want to play.
20:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, So it was. It was fantastic. And you
20:35
Speaker 4: know the thing is Terrang hits that homer, right, and
20:38
Speaker 4: you know it's kind of like it's not over at
20:40
Speaker 4: that point obviously, Well, nothing's over, as the cash showed
20:43
Speaker 4: us last night. It's not over at that point last night.
20:45
Speaker 4: But obviously you put the nail on one of the
20:47
Speaker 4: big nails in the coffin, and it's hard not to
20:49
Speaker 4: be excited, right, even a guy like Bryce Terrang who's
20:51
Speaker 4: never excited. Even he had a little hop and a
20:54
Speaker 4: jump when he did that high five to the third
20:55
Speaker 4: base coach, you know, even he was like, I'm gonna
20:57
Speaker 4: give you a little bit one. He couldn't h help
20:59
Speaker 4: himself getting a big one at Wrigley, Yeah, he was calling.
21:01
Speaker 5: He calmed himself down by the time he got to
21:03
Speaker 5: Sophia after the game as he was trying to to
21:06
Speaker 5: put just try to stay behind the ball, you know,
21:08
Speaker 5: just trying to just yeah, just trying to get good swings.
21:11
Speaker 5: Just yeah, just really trying to really trying to get
21:14
Speaker 5: it going. That that rip and the pose at home
21:17
Speaker 5: plate was maybe my favorite part. And PCA was trying
21:22
Speaker 5: to eye it up and line it up for an
21:25
Speaker 5: attempt at it, and then it just dropped right there
21:27
Speaker 5: into the front row a little bit too high.
21:28
Speaker 1: It hung up, and it ended.
21:30
Speaker 5: Up being they always do Drew that They don't seem
21:34
Speaker 5: like the biggest runs when you get the uh as
21:36
Speaker 5: they used to call them the Badger mutual insurance runs.
21:39
Speaker 5: But when all of a sudden, you got bases juice,
21:42
Speaker 5: and you got to bring in the fireman, Chad Patrick.
21:44
Speaker 5: Right after you realize that you needed that big fly
21:47
Speaker 5: a lot more than you thought you did in the
21:49
Speaker 5: game that went from a three to a five. You
21:50
Speaker 5: thought it was maybe a little pedestrian instead listen to
21:53
Speaker 5: wait a second, bring the tying run up. Oh oh,
21:57
Speaker 5: we're bringing the lead run to the plate. Okay, got it.
21:59
Speaker 5: Time to time to gass this thing up. And luckily
22:02
Speaker 5: a little bit of a change of role has been
22:04
Speaker 5: phenomenal for one Chad Patrick.
22:06
Speaker 4: Thank goodness for Chad. I mean that was the you know,
22:08
Speaker 4: the one time the Ashby button didn't exactly work the
22:12
Speaker 4: way he wanted to when he pressed it, Murph the
22:14
Speaker 4: one time. Of course, it won't work every time. But
22:16
Speaker 4: Patrick coming up huge had all my buddies on the
22:18
Speaker 4: text group thinking is he going on for the ninth?
22:21
Speaker 4: Seemed like a Murph type move that he might just
22:22
Speaker 4: say keep rolling the ninth. But you know, he had
22:25
Speaker 4: pitched a lollile you have rebay for a reason. He
22:28
Speaker 4: got the outs. I felt confident both guys would have.
22:30
Speaker 4: So that was a great, great spot for Patrick to
22:33
Speaker 4: come in. Uh and have got it done.
22:35
Speaker 2: That bas is loaded thing. You know, that's your game,
22:37
Speaker 2: that's the that snuffed him. And it's like, you know,
22:41
Speaker 2: you almost wish that they had a little category. I
22:43
Speaker 2: know they have like holes and stuff, and you know,
22:45
Speaker 2: you Rebi gets to say, but Chad Patrick snuffed that game,
22:48
Speaker 2: and she extra little gold star next to is his
22:52
Speaker 2: name in the box score?
22:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, he should bring that ball and put it right
22:54
Speaker 5: next to the first save that he grabbed a couple
22:56
Speaker 5: of a week or and a half ago, because it
22:58
Speaker 5: was huge. Drew. I actually in arming with the extra inning,
23:01
Speaker 5: I almost felt like the plan was hoping or Murph
23:05
Speaker 5: was thinking, sweet, Ashby's just gonna close this thing up
23:07
Speaker 5: before it doesn't work, and the Ashby button wasn't the
23:11
Speaker 5: easy button. It kind of felt like he might roll
23:13
Speaker 5: Ashby for two if that thing went smoothly at the
23:17
Speaker 5: top of the eighth or the bottom of the eighth.
23:18
Speaker 5: Clearly didn't and they had to go and hit a
23:20
Speaker 5: little bit of the panic button. But to see your
23:24
Speaker 5: rebay also, I mean kind of understated in there with
23:27
Speaker 5: with how McGill has been able to resurge after his stumbles.
23:31
Speaker 5: Your Rebay blows the save and could not land anything
23:34
Speaker 5: in the zone, and then last night could not have
23:36
Speaker 5: been better. As again, it feels like they might be
23:39
Speaker 5: even though the pitching has been phenomenal. The youth in
23:41
Speaker 5: the rotation is great, Chad Patrick. That wasn't a demotion.
23:45
Speaker 5: That was an elevation to premium late inning relief. It
23:48
Speaker 5: feels like because they desperately need somebody else out in
23:52
Speaker 5: that pen. You don't realize it, but it feels like
23:54
Speaker 5: they're an armor too short right now. They're gonna get
23:56
Speaker 5: Canig back, They're gonna get this Strisney back. But some
23:59
Speaker 5: people thing going from the rotation to the pen is
24:02
Speaker 5: a demotion. It feels like that was now we need
24:05
Speaker 5: you out there a little bit more than we need
24:07
Speaker 5: you every fifth day.
24:07
Speaker 4: Right.
24:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there he's I love the attitude that he
24:10
Speaker 2: and other guys have. It's just like I just want
24:12
Speaker 2: to play and just tell me when, and it's like
24:15
Speaker 2: they don't. There's not that ego I need to start
24:17
Speaker 2: or I need to get the leverage innings like, no,
24:19
Speaker 2: you're gonna be a bulk guy. Okay, give me the ball,
24:21
Speaker 2: let me get the ball. I'll do it.
24:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know on this team that it's it's done differently,
24:26
Speaker 4: So that's that's still an opportunity. Even though you're going
24:29
Speaker 4: to be that you might get ball innings, you might
24:31
Speaker 4: get four innings. You don't know what's going to happen
24:33
Speaker 4: all the guys out there that are getting it done
24:35
Speaker 4: so so ms.
24:37
Speaker 2: Uh only give up singles because that's all he's given
24:40
Speaker 2: up since April nineteenth. He hasn't given up an extra
24:44
Speaker 2: base hit. One hundred and fourteen batters without an extra
24:46
Speaker 2: base hit, and really hard conte Well one was like
24:49
Speaker 2: a big Baltimore chop. I mean, the fact that he
24:52
Speaker 2: had sixty one pitches to get six innings in is
24:57
Speaker 2: almost inconceivable. And then to know and be aware like
25:00
Speaker 2: he was out of gas, and like to not have
25:02
Speaker 2: him go out for the seventh and cramp up and
25:03
Speaker 2: walk off the mound again, because yes, he knew that
25:05
Speaker 2: was coming. So they're like, we give you one, No,
25:08
Speaker 2: you just shut it down, and he had he overcame
25:13
Speaker 2: the adversity. And this is the maturity that you look
25:15
Speaker 2: for with miz is that he clearly wasn't happy with
25:19
Speaker 2: the mound. We've talked about it before, like his stride
25:21
Speaker 2: and we'll talk to wags we talked to Wags about
25:23
Speaker 2: it last week. He said that it was his front
25:25
Speaker 2: foot was kind of sliding around a bit and he
25:27
Speaker 2: wasn't he just wasn't happy. So that there's your what, oh,
25:31
Speaker 2: he's only thrown one on one. Well there, that was
25:33
Speaker 2: probably it. That was the contributing factor, and that and
25:36
Speaker 2: then knowing his limits of where, yeah, I'm cooked, it's
25:39
Speaker 2: only sixty one, but I've been throwing hard and agetting
25:42
Speaker 2: after guys. So the maturity there, and when David Hamilton
25:47
Speaker 2: boots what should be an easy out, a lot of
25:49
Speaker 2: pictures like, oh, that's their license to kind of get
25:52
Speaker 2: pissed or melt down or just allow a run it. Nope,
25:55
Speaker 2: just give me the ball, Let's get onto the next
25:57
Speaker 2: Let's get the next guy. Like that's a lot to
26:00
Speaker 2: watch it, and it's like this guy's growing up in
26:01
Speaker 2: front of your eyes. And I keep going back to
26:03
Speaker 2: when we saw, you know, and when Bill Simmons was
26:06
Speaker 2: gushing about Yannis, like before anybody in Milwaukee really kind
26:09
Speaker 2: of realized how good he was going to be, and
26:11
Speaker 2: he saw him pick one dribble from half court and
26:13
Speaker 2: dunk on somebody is like, that's what miss is doing.
26:16
Speaker 2: Right now, he's doing stuff that nobody's ever seen, which
26:19
Speaker 2: the same kind of stuff we saw Yanni's doing going
26:21
Speaker 2: coast to coast at his size, is like, nobody's ever
26:23
Speaker 2: seen this.
26:24
Speaker 5: From now twenty one and a third of shutout ball
26:27
Speaker 5: across four starts in the month of May. I mean,
26:29
Speaker 5: it's it's disgusting as the numbers stack up, but drew
26:33
Speaker 5: the maturity in last year? Was it Cincinnati where he
26:38
Speaker 5: didn't get out of the first inning or didn't get
26:40
Speaker 5: out of the second inning, and a lot of it
26:41
Speaker 5: was the mound. It was just like, I don't feel
26:43
Speaker 5: comfortable and rattling around, He's kicking dirt and you could
26:46
Speaker 5: tell how much it threw him off of his game.
26:49
Speaker 5: Both of those happened in the first inning, right the
26:52
Speaker 5: Hamilton one. Finding out that the mound's just clearly not
26:55
Speaker 5: going to be the one you want all night long
26:58
Speaker 5: and being able to put that aside and go out
27:00
Speaker 5: and just dominate is that that is what That's the
27:04
Speaker 5: next tier that you have to go through, from the
27:06
Speaker 5: consistency through the domination of whatever the element is.
27:10
Speaker 4: I'm still going to be able to come in here
27:11
Speaker 4: and that's not going to slow me down.
27:12
Speaker 2: Sixty one pitches in six innings, twenty six in the
27:16
Speaker 2: first Okay, yeah, uh, and it's becoming and I don't
27:22
Speaker 2: know that obviously, everybody will say, well, the league adjusts
27:25
Speaker 2: and hitters can catch up to one hundred and one,
27:27
Speaker 2: big leg, they're big league hitters. They're the best.
27:29
Speaker 4: To wait for a lot of them too. But the
27:31
Speaker 4: thing is.
27:31
Speaker 2: When he's throwing that slider for strikes, that's the key.
27:34
Speaker 2: Or if you can throw that at it makes it
27:35
Speaker 2: a change up that he can throw for strikes. You
27:38
Speaker 2: got to sell out and start looking fast. And so
27:40
Speaker 2: what you're seeing a lot of times with guys, you know,
27:43
Speaker 2: hard throwers, Nolan Ryan for example. I'm not saying that
27:47
Speaker 2: missus Nolan Ryan yet or should be in the same breath,
27:49
Speaker 2: but just for example, a lot of times hard throwers
27:52
Speaker 2: they they're hunting strikeouts and guys are following off pitches
27:55
Speaker 2: and they, you know, will strike a guy out at
27:57
Speaker 2: the end of an eleven pitch at bat. With mis
28:01
Speaker 2: hitters don't want to get two strikes if they see
28:03
Speaker 2: something in the zone they're swinging because you know, you
28:06
Speaker 2: might not be able to see it. So and I
28:08
Speaker 2: don't know anybody that can go up there and say,
28:10
Speaker 2: all right, I'm facing miss Roskie, I'm gonna wait, and
28:13
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sell, I'm gonna pick, I'm gonna sit on
28:15
Speaker 2: the slider. Yeah, because because first of all, that's coming
28:19
Speaker 2: in when ninety three with sweep on it, and then
28:22
Speaker 2: the fastball is one oh one, like you just can't.
28:25
Speaker 2: You have to start your swing physically right, You have
28:27
Speaker 2: to start your swing. Plus he's so damn tall that
28:31
Speaker 2: his one o one is actually one oh five because
28:33
Speaker 2: he's releasing the ball with unreal so it's like it's
28:37
Speaker 2: on top of the hitters right away. Here's the thing
28:41
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is with miz it's hard to imagine,
28:44
Speaker 2: like Skeins got battered around the other day, but it's
28:46
Speaker 2: hard to imagine the way miss is thrown right now.
28:48
Speaker 5: Some of him giving up five hits in an inning,
28:51
Speaker 5: the small market brewer rally against him is hard to
28:54
Speaker 5: think unless something is colossally wrong.
28:57
Speaker 2: How are you gonna square up and hit like you know, yeah,
28:59
Speaker 2: the death by paper cut, jam shot, broken bat one.
29:03
Speaker 2: He might have a convergence of those, but in terms
29:05
Speaker 2: of like Crisp Legit oh getting boxed around.
29:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be a rare occurrent.
29:10
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a rare occurrence because he's doing stuff
29:13
Speaker 2: that no one's ever seen.
29:14
Speaker 4: It for it in the game the time that the
29:16
Speaker 4: patch that he the rough patch he had last year,
29:18
Speaker 4: there was a portion of the season when he had
29:19
Speaker 4: that rough patch. It was mostly because of the control,
29:22
Speaker 4: like he was having trouble with consistent control. And once
29:26
Speaker 4: that would be the I would say, you know, that
29:28
Speaker 4: would be the avenue for for issues would be if
29:31
Speaker 4: he find you know, he loses that control of the
29:34
Speaker 4: fastball and the breaking stuff, because if he can control both,
29:37
Speaker 4: he really has the obvious the hitter obviously a disadvantage.
29:40
Speaker 4: That would be the concern. I think if you remember
29:42
Speaker 4: going into the playoffs last year, there was some question
29:45
Speaker 4: about his spot, his role, what it could be, because
29:48
Speaker 4: he was inconsistent and because he was having that rough patch,
29:50
Speaker 4: you know, And I think that's really where it all
29:52
Speaker 4: started to turn around back for him again was the
29:54
Speaker 4: great performances he had in the postseason. Said you know what,
29:57
Speaker 4: we need this guy. He's huge. He's been great, turned
29:59
Speaker 4: in great perform Warman says, and then he started out
30:01
Speaker 4: the year really well. So I agree with you Drew.
30:03
Speaker 4: It's really hard to conceive of many rallies like that
30:06
Speaker 4: because you just can't square them up that much. That's
30:09
Speaker 4: just the reality.
30:10
Speaker 5: He also has the moxy of a dude that enjoys
30:14
Speaker 5: the bigger moment, the bigger lights, and the more lights
30:16
Speaker 5: that are going to be thrust upon him here this
30:18
Speaker 5: year is as he continues to break out, it seems
30:21
Speaker 5: like he's going to rise to even more of the occasion, right, Like,
30:23
Speaker 5: there's something to it. It can be a little bit intrinsic.
30:27
Speaker 5: It's something that you know innately these guys have some
30:30
Speaker 5: guys have it, some guys don't. And and he clearly
30:34
Speaker 5: is a big game player. I also see a lot
30:37
Speaker 5: of the the attitude of gratitude that you desperately need
30:41
Speaker 5: from everybody around. Like you mentioned the Hamilton thing, Drew,
30:44
Speaker 5: that's where you've been the best player on your team
30:46
Speaker 5: all the time. That that is the travel ball moment
30:49
Speaker 5: where hey, it's okay, Jacob, not your fault, not your fault,
30:54
Speaker 5: all right, Well, swe I know it's not my fault.
30:57
Speaker 5: I'll come out here and I'll just keep whipping and
30:59
Speaker 5: and nobody's gonna blame me. But there's a there's a
31:02
Speaker 5: collective part to it. You saw as uh, all of
31:06
Speaker 5: a sudden, Chad Patrick gets that last out of the
31:08
Speaker 5: eighth inning. Trevor McGill and Jacob Azowski two of the
31:11
Speaker 5: first guys to greet him into the dugout. There's a
31:14
Speaker 5: there's an attitude that you have to have. But when
31:16
Speaker 5: your best player has a little bit of aus shucks
31:18
Speaker 5: to him and is becoming a little bit of a
31:22
Speaker 5: superstar right in front of your eyes, seems.
31:24
Speaker 4: Like he's taking it all really in stride.
31:26
Speaker 5: And he's been on every podcast known to man for
31:28
Speaker 5: the last week and he still comes out here and
31:31
Speaker 5: doesn't pass tow him.
31:32
Speaker 2: He's got a binder of Pokemon cards as tall as
31:34
Speaker 2: he is and like six seven okay, that big Pokemon
31:37
Speaker 2: binder man, and then yeah buster only Jeff Passing. He's
31:41
Speaker 2: on with McAfee.
31:43
Speaker 4: He's like McAfee's baseball guy.
31:44
Speaker 3: Now.
31:44
Speaker 4: It just that's a wild thing for he's twenty four
31:47
Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, that's all right.
31:49
Speaker 2: So he's in the McAfee demo.
31:51
Speaker 5: There's gonna be there's gonna be no problem for him
31:54
Speaker 5: getting into the All Star Game. There's not gonna be
31:56
Speaker 5: any clap back for him being there. Now the question
31:58
Speaker 5: is gonna be is he gonna start the day?
32:00
Speaker 4: Well that too. I think that's interesting because and you
32:03
Speaker 4: think about you know, longer down the road, Cy Young's
32:05
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. You know it's shaping up to
32:07
Speaker 4: be one of the great battles between him and Skeens,
32:10
Speaker 4: because Skeens has been really You mentioned the one outing Drew,
32:13
Speaker 4: but he's been really good as well. Yeah, he have
32:15
Speaker 4: Christopher Sanchez. There are other good pictures, but it's hard
32:18
Speaker 4: to imagine that if if miskeeps going like this, that
32:20
Speaker 4: he's not going to do all that Billy start the
32:23
Speaker 4: All Star Game, Cy Young, all that stuff. I don't
32:26
Speaker 4: want to put the cart out of the horse too much.
32:28
Speaker 4: And you're doing a really good job and not to
32:30
Speaker 4: yeah but I am, but yeah, And Schemes has been
32:32
Speaker 4: fantastic too, so that that part of it's I think
32:35
Speaker 4: that part of it's an interesting kind of byeline too.
32:37
Speaker 4: Right now, what the battle shaping up with these two
32:40
Speaker 4: guys in the central man just just something special to
32:44
Speaker 4: watch and that.
32:45
Speaker 5: They could have been on the same team. Man, they
32:48
Speaker 5: were supposed to be on the same team at LSU.
32:50
Speaker 5: Do you think they would have had any fun just
32:52
Speaker 5: dominating the SEC.
32:53
Speaker 4: That's pre n il, right, I think that's the funny.
32:57
Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
32:57
Speaker 5: Right, turns towards the early version. But baseball players weren't
33:01
Speaker 5: making the kind of money they're.
33:02
Speaker 4: Making now because at that point, I'm just saying LS
33:05
Speaker 4: he was paying everybody anyway.
33:06
Speaker 5: So oh, they're pumping cash. Yeah, j They're they're paying cash,
33:09
Speaker 5: no doubt, no question.
33:11
Speaker 2: Right, hot takes, We need them eight seven seven seven,
33:14
Speaker 2: Send them to the nicol Law dot com talk and
33:17
Speaker 2: text on when we come back with here. Hunter Bombguard's
33:20
Speaker 2: take on last night's proceedings that the friendly confines our
33:23
Speaker 2: baseball reports brought to us by import Minded that all
33:26
Speaker 2: lies ahead. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
33:33
Speaker 5: Four and.
33:38
Speaker 4: Strike three.
33:41
Speaker 1: Struck him out.
33:46
Speaker 2: Quite a violent sound of Jacob Mizrawski's fastball hitting the
33:49
Speaker 2: old mit for wild Bill Contreras. Brewers TV brings us
33:53
Speaker 2: the highlights and missus start last night.
33:55
Speaker 4: Envision that going better audio wise, Sorry, guys, that is
33:58
Speaker 4: probably better for visual the montage of all this.
34:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you just hear the violence of the
34:03
Speaker 5: pop of the the rawlings into the the old, the
34:07
Speaker 5: old school baseball guys.
34:08
Speaker 4: Of that, you just got to hear the ball the sound.
34:12
Speaker 4: I don't by analytics. I'm an old school Scotts to it.
34:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, that does sound a little different, right, like the
34:17
Speaker 5: the popping of gloves when pitchers and catchers first report.
34:21
Speaker 4: Save that. Save that sound for February next year.
34:26
Speaker 5: Just play that because that pop is going to be
34:29
Speaker 5: better than anything you get from American Family Fields of Phoenix,
34:33
Speaker 5: even though it's more of the ceremonial deal, because that's
34:36
Speaker 5: a that's a violent, violent collision that he is finding
34:39
Speaker 5: each time for the for the Brewers former sixty third overall.
34:43
Speaker 4: Pick in twenty twenty two.
34:44
Speaker 2: So miss if not already is on the cusp of
34:47
Speaker 2: becoming our favorite athlete of the moment. Right, he's like,
34:51
Speaker 2: is he gonna move in? Because we were talking about
34:53
Speaker 2: yesterday at our Packers good time for it meant that, uh,
34:57
Speaker 2: Jordan Love. Even locally people are still like not all
35:00
Speaker 2: with Jordan Love. We'll like kind of like a wait
35:02
Speaker 2: and see, I don't get it, Like what more does
35:03
Speaker 2: he have to do? Billion And I talked about yesterday
35:05
Speaker 2: and you brought it up many times, like go back
35:08
Speaker 2: to that playoff game? What more could that guy have
35:10
Speaker 2: done three hundred yards and four touchdowns? I like, I
35:13
Speaker 2: picks no turn and not even putting the ball in
35:15
Speaker 2: peril against it.
35:16
Speaker 5: I mean the worst thing he did was throw the
35:18
Speaker 5: ball off one of his offensive linemen as he was
35:19
Speaker 5: getting driven to the ground.
35:21
Speaker 2: Sorry. So yeah, there's just some reason. But Miss, it's
35:25
Speaker 2: almost like with Giannis's status, like he's halfway out the
35:27
Speaker 2: door and it's like the door is open and Miss
35:30
Speaker 2: is about to bust on through it. Become the guy.
35:33
Speaker 5: Perfect timing and you capitalize on the moment because two
35:35
Speaker 5: years ago it felt like Jack Jack it was going.
35:37
Speaker 2: To take that realm of yeah kind of may he
35:40
Speaker 2: still may, but perfectly encapsulated in a two text from
35:44
Speaker 2: the Nickel, A lot I come talking text line Nick
35:46
Speaker 2: on the nicol A lot I come talking text and
35:48
Speaker 2: Nick comes to us from Sussex. Mis became my nine
35:51
Speaker 2: year old's favorite player after I showed him missus Pokemon folder.
35:54
Speaker 4: That's a winner. Yes, it's a big factor. He's going
35:57
Speaker 4: to connect with that way right and then.
36:00
Speaker 2: From the e or Camp Armansarian's camp, Oh, Marcus and Iowa,
36:04
Speaker 2: how many seasons can the Brewers keep the Miss big market.
36:07
Speaker 2: Money is gonna come calling eventually. These are the days.
36:10
Speaker 4: So I thought it was the e or part was
36:12
Speaker 4: either gonna be I was predicting predicting it in my head.
36:14
Speaker 4: It was either gonna be the contract thing, the money thing,
36:17
Speaker 4: or one's gonna get injured.
36:18
Speaker 2: Like you know, I thought those are the two things
36:21
Speaker 2: that go say, and that's true. Control why but okay,
36:25
Speaker 2: so enjoy the moment, right, But Marcus said, the meter
36:28
Speaker 2: is until the next collective bargaining agree would change it.
36:30
Speaker 2: He got six years with a guy in your uniform,
36:33
Speaker 2: You get six you know.
36:35
Speaker 5: And you might as well enjoy it instead of like
36:37
Speaker 5: looking at it in in governmental ways where you're halfway
36:40
Speaker 5: through something, you're already looking at the next contract, Like
36:43
Speaker 5: look at this one and enjoy the six years because
36:46
Speaker 5: you don't know what the next six starts could be
36:49
Speaker 5: with with the injury deal, Uh he because I wanted
36:52
Speaker 5: to look that up, Drue after seeing it. Uh he
36:54
Speaker 5: got paid a little bit, right, Like they over overslotted
36:57
Speaker 5: him for the value quite a bit, but by like
37:01
Speaker 5: a million bucks. So he's got plenty of room to
37:04
Speaker 5: grow that bank account if he would like. He's a
37:07
Speaker 5: smart financial uh planner, it doesn't seem seem though. It
37:10
Speaker 5: seems like he's rather astute in the different uh meet
37:14
Speaker 5: and greets, the different opportunities for it. And there's gonna
37:17
Speaker 5: be some cash that can come his way. But you're
37:19
Speaker 5: just you're You're probably not gonna be able to pay
37:20
Speaker 5: anything of it. So just enjoy the time while it lasts,
37:23
Speaker 5: and enjoy the fact that the Brewers did what nobody
37:26
Speaker 5: likes and manipulated the service time a little.
37:28
Speaker 2: It is today, sign a five or six year deal.
37:31
Speaker 2: Probably not No, Probably his agent would say, no, I
37:33
Speaker 2: think you're gonna do better if you go year by
37:35
Speaker 2: year and hit hit arbitration, get keep getting those built
37:38
Speaker 2: in those arbitration raises and stuff, and then hit free agency.
37:43
Speaker 2: I don't know what his incentive would be. It's a
37:44
Speaker 2: great idea and theory. Same thing with like Bryce Terraang,
37:46
Speaker 2: who's right now in the discussion as the best second
37:49
Speaker 2: basement and.
37:49
Speaker 4: Ball like one of the Brewers just sign up to
37:51
Speaker 4: a long term.
37:52
Speaker 2: Deal like because he's not gonna because because he can
37:55
Speaker 2: make more uh betting on himself.
37:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, and drew the uh the slot value, something that
38:00
Speaker 5: I think is difficult to fully comprehend. If you don't
38:03
Speaker 5: go and know, like a ton into the weeds of
38:06
Speaker 5: the salary cap like the terrang elevations. Right now would
38:09
Speaker 5: be the worst time for him to sign one, right
38:11
Speaker 5: because now he's walking into arbitration and he's gonna keep
38:14
Speaker 5: resetting the new value for it, so there's no real
38:17
Speaker 5: benchmark for it. Miss He's gonna make the league minimum
38:20
Speaker 5: for another what year and a half. So if you
38:22
Speaker 5: were going to get hey, we can give you a
38:25
Speaker 5: large portion of that money up front and you can
38:28
Speaker 5: start living that kind of life. Now, maybe you could
38:31
Speaker 5: make it could make a little bit more sense. But
38:34
Speaker 5: that's also easier to tell to a Cooper Pratt than
38:37
Speaker 5: a guy who's already been in the big leagues for
38:39
Speaker 5: a year and is dominating and putting up these kind
38:41
Speaker 5: of numbers.
38:41
Speaker 4: You know. I also think that maybe it's generational. I
38:44
Speaker 4: have no idea or something that's evolved in our minds
38:48
Speaker 4: as sports fans and observers, because guys play longer than
38:52
Speaker 4: he used to. But having a guy for six to
38:54
Speaker 4: eight years a great player, you used to be a
38:56
Speaker 4: significant period of time historically to remember to have moments
39:00
Speaker 4: to do it, because not every guy was a fifteen
39:03
Speaker 4: year guy. Now there's this idea. Well, look it's been
39:06
Speaker 4: a great start, been a greade two years. We're gonna
39:08
Speaker 4: have him six more years. But if we can't have him,
39:10
Speaker 4: you know, for fifteen years, then it's gonna be this
39:12
Speaker 4: terrible you know, thing like that. That's a good chunk
39:16
Speaker 4: of time. You have a player on your head, on
39:18
Speaker 4: your favorite team, you get him in his prime, right.
39:19
Speaker 2: His best years. Corbyn Burns for example.
39:22
Speaker 4: That's a good example. I mean Freddy Baralta.
39:24
Speaker 2: Those I think the got Corbyn Burns's best innings out
39:27
Speaker 2: of him.
39:28
Speaker 4: M absolutely agree, Like Sextion Freddy Barlta.
39:31
Speaker 5: Think of guys like that, like yeah, well and like
39:33
Speaker 5: you know, Freddy, they they did get the value for.
39:35
Speaker 5: But Freddy was also such a unique case where uh
39:39
Speaker 5: he was not at really any point in time.
39:42
Speaker 4: And correct me if I'm wrong.
39:44
Speaker 5: Thought of is gonna be a sure fire knockout pop
39:47
Speaker 5: prospect right like he was one of the three nineteen
39:50
Speaker 5: year olds they get in the Adam Lynn trade and
39:52
Speaker 5: kind of a shot in the dark. Wait, I can
39:55
Speaker 5: do this at the big leaguelevel, and I can make
39:57
Speaker 5: sure that I lock in the money. Now let's do it.
39:59
Speaker 5: And what do they buy them out of one year
40:02
Speaker 5: of free agency. That's the other thing, you know, how
40:06
Speaker 5: you're able to craft the deal to buy them out
40:09
Speaker 5: of even if you lock them up now, you're still
40:12
Speaker 5: only getting one additional year out of it. Maybe, And
40:15
Speaker 5: at that point you just you enjoy it and run
40:18
Speaker 5: the run that meter up as long as you can,
40:20
Speaker 5: and then at some point, as tough as this is
40:22
Speaker 5: the cow, you cash in. At some point you cash
40:25
Speaker 5: them chips in. You don't stay at the table too long.
40:28
Speaker 5: And that's one thing that the Brewers have been better
40:30
Speaker 5: at than I know this gambling young man would would be,
40:33
Speaker 5: and I think a lot of fans would be of like, Hey,
40:35
Speaker 5: we're on this heater, let's see if we can. You're
40:37
Speaker 5: winning on your last day in Vegas. That doesn't mean
40:40
Speaker 5: you extend your trip for three more days and re
40:43
Speaker 5: up at the Blaggia. It means you take the chips,
40:45
Speaker 5: celebrate it, and get the heck a bottle top. Let's
40:49
Speaker 5: listen to the Armountica, listen to Hunters. A recap of
40:52
Speaker 5: last night's proceedings at Wrigleyfield.
40:56
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, the Brewers get a five to two win
40:59
Speaker 3: last night at Wrigley Field. To secure the series over
41:01
Speaker 3: the Cubs and take sole possession of first place in
41:04
Speaker 3: the National League Central and are now ten games over
41:06
Speaker 3: five hundred for the first time in twenty twenty six.
41:09
Speaker 3: Drew that stats for you. But how about Bryce Terrang
41:12
Speaker 3: with a two run home run late in the game,
41:14
Speaker 3: providing some insurance, and he was three for four on
41:17
Speaker 3: the night. And on the mound, Jacob Mazarowski does it again.
41:20
Speaker 3: Six shoutout innings of one walk, eight k's now twenty
41:23
Speaker 3: four and a third straight scoreless innings. He's the first
41:26
Speaker 3: major league pitcher to go five straight starts with eight
41:29
Speaker 3: plus strikeounts and not allow an extra base hit. He
41:31
Speaker 3: has not allowed an extra base hit in a month
41:33
Speaker 3: and five days. That courtesy of Kurt Hoag of the
41:36
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Journal Centinel. The Brewers are six and zero to
41:38
Speaker 3: one in their last seven series. They've won ten of twelve.
41:42
Speaker 3: I mean, just sensational baseball that they are playing right
41:45
Speaker 3: now in all fast sets. A couple of errors uncharacteristic
41:48
Speaker 3: there for the Brewers, but on that left side of
41:50
Speaker 3: the infield is where it came from. Something to watch there,
41:53
Speaker 3: But otherwise the Brewers are just on a roll. They'll
41:55
Speaker 3: go for the sweep tonight Kyle Harrison on the mound
41:58
Speaker 3: for Milwaukee against Edward Cabrera of the Cubs. I'll have
42:01
Speaker 3: you for the baseball pregame show on Fox Sports nine
42:03
Speaker 3: twenty and Milwaukee and our social channels at five thirty.
42:05
Speaker 3: This report brought to you by import Minded, your trusted
42:07
Speaker 3: choice for exceptional vehicle care on Sound twenty seventh, just
42:10
Speaker 3: north of eight ninety four. And before I throw it
42:12
Speaker 3: back to you guys, Pat Murphy said after the game
42:14
Speaker 3: that they pulled Jacob as Arownski after six innings and
42:16
Speaker 3: seventy four pitches just because miss said he was out
42:18
Speaker 3: of gas. Said to Pat Murphy before the sixth inning,
42:21
Speaker 3: I can give you the sixth, but not sure about
42:23
Speaker 3: anything past that. The bullpen was fresh and they went
42:25
