0:01
Speaker 1: Who's ready to cut and crack all morning, because that's
0:04
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna cut, We're gonna crack. Sanchez.
0:08
Speaker 2: We ready.
0:08
Speaker 1: It's the Huddle Friday Edition, coming to you live on
0:12
Speaker 1: nine to twenty, Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison, everywhere in the
0:15
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, streaming live, Facebook, x and YouTube. It feels
0:19
Speaker 1: like we just left because we did. Drew Wilson, phill
0:21
Speaker 1: Smid Armans are on your team from Packers ot that
0:26
Speaker 1: presided over the first broadcast of the preseason yesterday.
0:30
Speaker 2: Packers lose twenty eight.
0:32
Speaker 1: To nine, and the Brewers followed that with their biggest
0:36
Speaker 1: win of the year, and we got to see it.
0:38
Speaker 1: That's the one plus of being up late or early,
0:40
Speaker 1: as the case may be. We got to see a
0:42
Speaker 1: glorious Bruce Victory. Welcome in everybody. How are we doing?
0:45
Speaker 2: Feeling good? Drew and Amen?
0:47
Speaker 3: Ye double barrel in the coffee this morning for that
0:49
Speaker 3: exact reason. But you are spot on, and I try
0:54
Speaker 3: to be with a little bit of patented positivity much
0:56
Speaker 3: more like my thought, my man Arman Sarian over here,
0:59
Speaker 3: there's the old bracelets.
1:01
Speaker 1: That people used to have. What would Jesus do.
1:04
Speaker 2: What would Arman dolment the ones in the mall that
1:07
Speaker 2: you the balance bracelets. That was a good one though.
1:09
Speaker 3: You balance out the negativity in the world with excited,
1:14
Speaker 3: patented positivity. Gotta find a positive, and it gott to
1:16
Speaker 3: find an exciting one in it. And Lord knows we
1:19
Speaker 3: all would have missed maybe the best Brewers win of
1:23
Speaker 3: the whole year last night if it wasn't for an
1:27
Speaker 3: elongated version of Packers ot talking about a less than thrilling.
1:35
Speaker 1: Result there in Pittsburgh.
1:36
Speaker 3: I'm like, out of the games that we've seen and
1:38
Speaker 3: we will see in the twenty twenty eighty six NFL season,
1:41
Speaker 3: that one might not have had all of the talkers,
1:44
Speaker 3: but Lord knows we got to talk about them, and
1:46
Speaker 3: thank goodness we did, because otherwise we wouldn't have seen
1:48
Speaker 3: that snatch him back game out of LA That.
1:50
Speaker 1: Was awesome to see coming back from the dead the
1:54
Speaker 1: dead absolutely.
1:56
Speaker 2: I mean, it really felt like, I don't know what
1:57
Speaker 2: you guys were thinking, you know, as we got it
2:00
Speaker 2: late into the night, as the Brewers get kept getting put.
2:03
Speaker 3: Down, how you didn't know what we were thinking? You
2:05
Speaker 3: were listening to it all the time?
2:06
Speaker 2: That part I do, yes, I know what you're saying,
2:09
Speaker 2: but it just felt like the Brewers, you know, they
2:12
Speaker 2: had they did have the lead at one point off
2:14
Speaker 2: two bases, little walks. So you're thinking yourself, this team
2:17
Speaker 2: is not going to find a way to get any
2:18
Speaker 2: hit balls, hitting the out hitting the outfield, much less
2:21
Speaker 2: score some runs. You go down four too, and Yellis
2:24
Speaker 2: had one chance to the corner to tie. It was
2:26
Speaker 2: to the wall. But then now you're like, oh, man,
2:28
Speaker 2: I don't I don't see how it just it looks
2:30
Speaker 2: so bleak. And then they put together this rally when
2:32
Speaker 2: they needed it the most. I mean, you want to
2:35
Speaker 2: talk about absolutely getting off the mat, you know, against
2:38
Speaker 2: the prohibitive favorite in Major League Baseball every year with
2:42
Speaker 2: you know, once upon a time all world that win Diaz.
2:46
Speaker 2: I mean, just incredible to see that last night. And
2:48
Speaker 2: I'd say when the Brewers needed it the most, I
2:50
Speaker 2: mean I could. I can't remember a time this year
2:52
Speaker 2: at least, I mean, when they needed to win this
2:55
Speaker 2: badly and they found a way to snatch victory from
2:58
Speaker 2: the absolute jaws of defeat. Was that exciting to watch?
3:01
Speaker 1: It was something else. I gotta say it. The ninth
3:04
Speaker 1: inning unfolded and unfolded and unfolded, and then there was
3:06
Speaker 1: a pitching change, and oh lo and behold, it have
3:09
Speaker 1: be a nice attack on some runs. But the Bruis
3:11
Speaker 1: take a five four victory, and that coming on the
3:13
Speaker 1: heels of a sweep in San Diego and just deflating.
3:17
Speaker 1: Had the Brewers won that getaway game in San Diego
3:19
Speaker 1: that they puked away, that was arguably they backed up
3:22
Speaker 1: the worst loss of the season with the best victory.
3:24
Speaker 3: One hundred percent you could have and you were staring
3:27
Speaker 3: down the barrel of two just absolutely painful defeats. Now,
3:30
Speaker 3: yesterday it might not have been the Apps the worst one,
3:34
Speaker 3: but it would have been if Trevor McGill wouldn't have
3:37
Speaker 3: come in and slammed the door like he did three up,
3:39
Speaker 3: three down in the ninth. I know there were definitely
3:42
Speaker 3: some Brewers fans that were worried about that worst case scenario.
3:46
Speaker 3: But what did they come in with Runnerson scoring position
3:48
Speaker 3: as they got swept by the Padres something like three
3:51
Speaker 3: for twenty eight, and they were following it up with
3:54
Speaker 3: another patent performance today or last night, this morning, whatever
3:58
Speaker 3: it ends up being, and then all of a sudden,
4:01
Speaker 3: you string together five straight singles, and we all know
4:08
Speaker 3: because we've seen them throughout the year. They're small market rallies.
4:10
Speaker 3: Those are gonna be their ways of putting up crooked numbers. Whoever,
4:14
Speaker 3: it was gonna be against the regression to the me
4:16
Speaker 3: and Drew that you educate us about.
4:18
Speaker 1: At some boy, it was gonna come correct.
4:20
Speaker 3: I'm glad it came correct against the Dodgers because that
4:22
Speaker 3: one feels a hell of a lot better. And I
4:24
Speaker 3: think also they could have won that game against twenty
4:29
Speaker 3: nine other teams, twenty eight other teams, and people would
4:33
Speaker 3: have said.
4:33
Speaker 2: Oh sweet, nice, that's great.
4:35
Speaker 3: They win it against La the team that dogged you
4:39
Speaker 3: in the NLCS, the one that's been the team to
4:42
Speaker 3: stand in your way. I think there's something mentally for
4:45
Speaker 3: Brewers fans in the sanity that's a big one. Bay
4:47
Speaker 3: Jake Bowers told us all to chill them out. One
4:50
Speaker 3: dog of the fans. He probably talking to the team.
4:53
Speaker 3: They had their meeting and Drew. Thank goodness that they
4:55
Speaker 3: had when they did, because otherwise they played the team
4:58
Speaker 3: meeting card and then only.
5:03
Speaker 2: A tough one to be able to look at it.
5:04
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, sir, you've already used that coupon. You can't
5:07
Speaker 2: use it twice the team meeting car sure, I thought
5:09
Speaker 2: it was twice. No, every day, you're able to use
5:11
Speaker 2: it all one time? Can I try that again? You
5:14
Speaker 2: can't rease that son? Uh No. On Jake Bauers, I mean, yeah,
5:17
Speaker 2: chill the blank out, and he did with with two
5:19
Speaker 2: strikes and he got the big hit. Well, I want
5:20
Speaker 2: of many in that inning, but the biggest, I'd say
5:22
Speaker 2: to put him head. Wow, was that awesome? I mean,
5:25
Speaker 2: and from a bunch of guys that needed hits, big hits. Cheerio,
5:28
Speaker 2: Garrett Mitchell kind of you know as well, So you're right,
5:31
Speaker 2: Billy like that. That one would have felt great anyway,
5:33
Speaker 2: to come back and needing a win. But man against
5:36
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, just like that, and it's like to do it,
5:39
Speaker 2: fantastic to do.
5:40
Speaker 1: It in a game when Shane Drawing picked very well. Yeah,
5:44
Speaker 1: the Drove show, he watched his chance for victory evaporate
5:48
Speaker 1: because he suddenly struggling, struggling, struggling, Antonio sends it. Tella
5:52
Speaker 1: gave up a home run to Max Muncy and gave
5:56
Speaker 1: up his inherited run and put him in line to
5:58
Speaker 1: lose a game.
5:59
Speaker 2: Those that trend those tweets.
6:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's that's nice to Max Munsey's hit more
6:05
Speaker 1: homers at Dodger Statium than any player in franchise history,
6:08
Speaker 1: which is not nothing. Well, and the fast balls, and
6:11
Speaker 1: they threw him a couple.
6:12
Speaker 3: They threw him a couple right after he hit one
6:14
Speaker 3: nearly out of the stadium that just went foul. But
6:18
Speaker 3: they flashed a graphic yesterday that he's got like thirteen
6:22
Speaker 3: go ahead hits after the sixth inning or later just
6:25
Speaker 3: this year with them, Max Munsey uh one of the
6:29
Speaker 3: greatestuf fines for a team that got that dfade the
6:32
Speaker 3: cat and then becomes an absolute franchise legend.
6:36
Speaker 2: And they needed that kind of luck the way they
6:38
Speaker 2: had to get talent.
6:39
Speaker 1: That's nice that they finally something goes their way to
6:42
Speaker 1: win a game. When for the Brewers when Andrew Vaughn
6:45
Speaker 1: was playing third and Gary Sanchez was at first, because
6:49
Speaker 1: that's what they got, that's where they're at right now.
6:51
Speaker 3: We're at right now, no doubt what the Bryce terrang
6:53
Speaker 3: news and the second opinion he's gonna get.
6:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and.
6:57
Speaker 3: The first ball that gets rocketed over to Andrew vaugh
7:00
Speaker 3: there's like eight balls hit one hundred miles an hour
7:02
Speaker 3: on the Crown last night, and one of them goes
7:05
Speaker 3: right to him clean pick fire over the first Holy count.
7:09
Speaker 2: What's the problem. Why have we not been doing this
7:11
Speaker 2: the whole time?
7:12
Speaker 3: The second ball goes right over to him, airmails it
7:14
Speaker 3: off to the right, off to the right side of Sanchez,
7:17
Speaker 3: and then you realize, Oh, it's because we have two
7:19
Speaker 3: and a half first basement and two catchers out here
7:23
Speaker 3: playing defense, because that's how strapped you are. Lord knows,
7:26
Speaker 3: they didn't want to play bay last night, and I
7:29
Speaker 3: got a feeling that they might be trotting this exact
7:31
Speaker 3: same group out there, depending on how long it takes
7:34
Speaker 3: for that second opinion to come back on the knee
7:35
Speaker 3: of Bryce Terran.
7:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you just got to find a way. And
7:37
Speaker 2: the way that did it was just amazing.
7:40
Speaker 1: And Jake Bowers was the voice of reason after the
7:42
Speaker 1: game because the prevailing question was is that the biggest
7:46
Speaker 1: win of the season given everything that's been happening lately.
7:49
Speaker 1: And did you see Jake Bowers's quote? Yeah, I didn't
7:51
Speaker 1: get this one, and part of it that's not arable
7:53
Speaker 1: on a well, hold on it, save harbor.
7:55
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead. Well, yeah, I wouldn't fly. Why not? Yeah, yeah,
8:00
Speaker 2: it's still five to ten. Well but okay.
8:04
Speaker 1: Bowers did say, oh, hang on one second. I think
8:07
Speaker 1: to treat this game as bigger than another one is
8:09
Speaker 1: not wise.
8:11
Speaker 2: And that and that's the third part of the impact
8:15
Speaker 2: of that whole situation. Like the first one was like,
8:17
Speaker 2: chill the blank out, the second one was like, I'm
8:19
Speaker 2: gonna get this big hit and bring us to the depths,
8:22
Speaker 2: from the depths to victory, and the third one is
8:25
Speaker 2: totally not make a big deal out of it. Like
8:27
Speaker 2: each one of those is equally important. I think for that,
8:29
Speaker 2: and that's what's impressive about it. Like if I came
8:32
Speaker 2: through in that moment, you better believe I'm like, this
8:35
Speaker 2: was the biggest win of the year, Like we just
8:37
Speaker 2: came through, like we're awesome, this is who we are power.
8:40
Speaker 2: I'd be all like, you know, you motivational poster.
8:44
Speaker 1: We're like.
8:45
Speaker 2: And the fact that he's like, you know what we're
8:47
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep it real, We're gonna come correct. I
8:49
Speaker 2: said before chill out, I'm gonna say after chill out.
8:52
Speaker 2: That's the consistency of it. He's got a really impressive Ear.
8:55
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the season he's probably dreamed about,
8:57
Speaker 2: and it continues for Jake Bauer. So that's pretty awesome.
9:01
Speaker 3: All the California guys coming through in the ninth inning,
9:03
Speaker 3: I mean outside of Jackson Surio right, Garrett Mitchell, UCLA
9:06
Speaker 3: kid getting back into the California son, Jake Bauers California
9:10
Speaker 3: son as he walks up to the plate sitting there
9:12
Speaker 3: and poor Yellow hit a hard ball too, and it
9:15
Speaker 3: hit it right right to him.
9:17
Speaker 2: He did well.
9:18
Speaker 3: And the one that he hit before, I think you
9:20
Speaker 3: mentioned it arm in a couple of minutes ago. It's
9:22
Speaker 3: like three feet right of being gone from being a
9:26
Speaker 3: tie ball and he's sneaking it over the fence. But
9:30
Speaker 3: definitely a better number there. But it's interesting that that's
9:34
Speaker 3: how Bowers attacks it because Garrett Mitchell went asked, is
9:37
Speaker 3: that the biggest victory of the year. Definitely up there,
9:40
Speaker 3: Trevor McGill, I think so, at least for this season.
9:42
Speaker 3: That was huge for us to get the boys on track.
9:44
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy, it's got to be up there because of
9:45
Speaker 3: what we face the last three days. Everybody can look
9:48
Speaker 3: at it differently. Drew, it's probably the healthier way to
9:51
Speaker 3: look at it for Jake Bauers, but everybody realized how
9:55
Speaker 3: difficult of a stretch this has been.
9:57
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, this whole series looks different.
10:00
Speaker 3: You get one win last night, you take that one away,
10:04
Speaker 3: get miss on Saturday. You're a Gasser or Henderson victory
10:08
Speaker 3: away from winning the series. If you can count in
10:12
Speaker 3: a miss start to be a w you win three
10:14
Speaker 3: or four, and all of a sudden, you grab yourself
10:15
Speaker 3: a free half game against the Dodgers because you win
10:17
Speaker 3: the season series and the tiebreaker like that. That is
10:19
Speaker 3: a huge win to be able to get last night
10:21
Speaker 3: when you desperately needed it.
10:22
Speaker 1: If the Dodgers don't puke away the game, they would
10:25
Speaker 1: have pulled even with the Brewers in the best record
10:28
Speaker 1: in the league standings and the Braves are a half
10:30
Speaker 1: game back. And we've talked a lot this year about
10:34
Speaker 1: how important it is for the Brewers to have one
10:36
Speaker 1: of the two best records. And you win the series,
10:38
Speaker 1: you don't have to play mm hmm, you don't tax
10:41
Speaker 1: your bullpen. You get to rest and relax, and don't
10:43
Speaker 1: give me that rest versus Russ, because it's better to
10:45
Speaker 1: win a series by not playing it and not expose
10:47
Speaker 1: yourself to a loss. Yes, and not get drained, get
10:50
Speaker 1: the battery drained the way they did in a grinding
10:52
Speaker 1: series against the Cubs that should have been a three
10:54
Speaker 1: game sweep. Then it took the starch out of them
10:57
Speaker 1: for the Dodger. So the butterfly effect Israel. But Bowers,
11:00
Speaker 1: you know the SoCal guys. You know Mitchell had a
11:02
Speaker 1: hit in that thing. And but Bowers is quote, it's
11:06
Speaker 1: about not riding the waves now, Craig Council. So I say,
11:10
Speaker 1: ride the roller coaster. That's the Opening Days roller coaster
11:14
Speaker 1: Clichliche Bowers said, It's not about it's about not riding
11:18
Speaker 1: the waves. If you don't ride the waves, then you'll
11:20
Speaker 1: get back to who you are quicker than if you're
11:22
Speaker 1: riding these ups and riding these downs. You're gonna have
11:25
Speaker 1: downs individually, You're gonna have downs throughout the season collectively.
11:28
Speaker 1: It's important you're not riding those waves. You stick to
11:31
Speaker 1: your approach, You stick to the things you said you
11:33
Speaker 1: were going to do in spring training. You keep showing
11:35
Speaker 1: up and you just keep going. You keep going until
11:38
Speaker 1: the end and they send you home or you're the
11:40
Speaker 1: last ten standing.
11:41
Speaker 2: This guy spitting some some bangers out.
11:43
Speaker 1: Now there you go.
11:44
Speaker 3: Also sounds like you spit into something that Pat Murphy
11:47
Speaker 3: is hammered into that clubhouse of number that were in
11:49
Speaker 3: time point.
11:50
Speaker 2: Although if you never ride a wave, you're never gonna
11:52
Speaker 2: enjoy that crest of the wave. You never gonna know
11:54
Speaker 2: where you're going to stand on the beach.
11:55
Speaker 1: That's the thing we had this and it's the duality
11:59
Speaker 1: because we were helming Packers ot and the Packers story
12:02
Speaker 1: last night for those who didn't bother to watch was
12:05
Speaker 1: trace Mack, who has been shaky in camp and he said, hey,
12:09
Speaker 1: how do you like me?
12:10
Speaker 2: Now?
12:10
Speaker 1: Kicked four field goals, three of them counted, two of
12:13
Speaker 1: them were from fifty eight yards and after the game
12:16
Speaker 1: at the floor like, hey, what do you think? Wow,
12:18
Speaker 1: it's one game, one game. It's only one It's one game.
12:21
Speaker 1: And trace Mack was will play his his interviews, he
12:24
Speaker 1: is about as noncommittal and like low key as can be,
12:28
Speaker 1: which is good. You want your kicker to be in
12:30
Speaker 1: the middle like that when you need that and be
12:33
Speaker 1: high and low because you'll bury yourself after a bad loss.
12:37
Speaker 1: So Brewers, they were brewers in last night with the
12:40
Speaker 1: way they what was it? Four straight singles, four.
12:44
Speaker 3: Straight singles, five in the ninth, And well, do you
12:48
Speaker 3: take something into this because as I was driving home
12:49
Speaker 3: last night and trying to fall asleep because it, as
12:52
Speaker 3: you guys probably learned, I don't know if the the
12:54
Speaker 3: megaplex melatonin ultimately was able to knock you out right away,
12:58
Speaker 3: but I was sitting there stewing and thinking about it
13:00
Speaker 3: for a while.
13:02
Speaker 1: That's how you're gonna have to beat him.
13:05
Speaker 3: Right like, you're not gonna get the pin shit three
13:07
Speaker 3: run homer by Monci, You're unless maybe Andrew Vaughn comes
13:11
Speaker 3: up in that spot, and you can count on that one.
13:14
Speaker 3: He was getting as regular of regular at bats as
13:16
Speaker 3: you possibly could a year ago when he went on
13:18
Speaker 3: his power tear. So I'm not gonna say he's not
13:20
Speaker 3: going to provide you that power, but you're going to
13:23
Speaker 3: need to be able to showcase that your little small
13:26
Speaker 3: market rallies are gonna be able to beat the big
13:28
Speaker 3: time boys in a playoff game. And last night was
13:31
Speaker 3: as close to a playoff game as you are gonna
13:33
Speaker 3: feel that type of intensity. And I think there's something
13:38
Speaker 3: in the psyche definitely of fans that you can do
13:41
Speaker 3: it your way and at least beat him again. It's
13:43
Speaker 3: one game and now it's two two over the series
13:46
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers and Brewers seven game regular season series.
13:49
Speaker 3: But I think there was something to that last night
13:52
Speaker 3: of they got the big swing, you definitely weren't gonna
13:55
Speaker 3: find it yet to get two runs because they actually
13:57
Speaker 3: gave him to you and Sazaki couldn't find the strike
14:00
Speaker 3: zone if he fell out of a boat.
14:03
Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden late in the night.
14:04
Speaker 3: You were able to do what you do best and
14:06
Speaker 3: just be able to string a bunch of singles together.
14:07
Speaker 2: It's a great point, like you will not outslug that lineup,
14:10
Speaker 2: so to have that pipe dream is not necessary. Also,
14:12
Speaker 2: it's not a good way to go. You just gotta
14:14
Speaker 2: be you. You gotta be you. That makes it tough
14:16
Speaker 2: for sure, because it's a lot more efficient to score
14:19
Speaker 2: runs with homers. But this is the way that Brewers
14:21
Speaker 2: have to do it. And if they can find a
14:23
Speaker 2: way to keep getting those small market rallies, that's it's
14:25
Speaker 2: an uphill battle, but that's what you do and that's
14:27
Speaker 2: what you do well, so that's what they're gonna have
14:29
Speaker 2: to hope to do. That's a great point, Billy. It's
14:31
Speaker 2: like so many many times we wish to be something
14:34
Speaker 2: we are not, as Brewers fans, even though we are
14:37
Speaker 2: pretty good. You know, our house is nice, but we
14:41
Speaker 2: we wish to be.
14:43
Speaker 1: We wore the slide basketball hoop.
14:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Instead we just keep paying our bills. Yeah, instead
14:49
Speaker 2: we just keep paying the paying the red bills with
14:52
Speaker 2: the sprinkler paying for the heater, yeah, exactly, and play
14:55
Speaker 2: with the sprinkler and find a way to have fun.
14:57
Speaker 1: The numbers nerds will enjoy that. But the Brewers were
15:01
Speaker 1: three and thirty eight when trailing after eight innings. Now
15:03
Speaker 1: they're four and thirty eight.
15:05
Speaker 2: Let me check your math on that, all right, But.
15:08
Speaker 1: This is the one in the ninth inning. In the
15:11
Speaker 1: top of the ninth inning, there was a point when
15:13
Speaker 1: the Dodgers win probability was ninety seven point two percent.
15:16
Speaker 2: Oh yes, oh yes, now one.
15:19
Speaker 1: That's about as high as it can get, folks, ninety
15:23
Speaker 1: seven point two and the Brewers flipped the script.
15:26
Speaker 3: Man, you gotta feel good for Jake Bauers too, Like,
15:29
Speaker 3: out of all the guys that have had good years,
15:33
Speaker 3: uh maybe none bigger than his, if you look at offensively,
15:36
Speaker 3: might be their best hitter in one of their MVPs
15:39
Speaker 3: uh and just a career year of all career years,
15:42
Speaker 3: career two twenty one hitter, and that's with this two
15:46
Speaker 3: sixty eight year where his OPS is nearing nine hundred.
15:49
Speaker 3: It's really really impressive run that he's been able to
15:51
Speaker 3: put together and just flying in the face Drew of
15:55
Speaker 3: us saying you're not going to carry the spring training
15:57
Speaker 3: results over there, dominated the Cactus League, and he's kept
16:02
Speaker 3: that thing rolling.
16:02
Speaker 1: That's wild under the radar. Heroes of this game Shane
16:06
Speaker 1: Drowan five and a third, three hits tagged with the
16:10
Speaker 1: three runs, one of which scored when he left the mound.
16:13
Speaker 1: He rewalks, five strikeouts, eighty five pitches and he got
16:16
Speaker 1: into the six got it out in the sixth, and
16:19
Speaker 1: then deal Hall after sens it Tella gave it up
16:22
Speaker 1: and all hope seemed lost. Deal Hall came in and
16:24
Speaker 1: shut him down for two innings, huge, not letting them
16:29
Speaker 1: tack on. Let you come back massive and win the game.
16:32
Speaker 1: So he got a nice win. But hang a star
16:35
Speaker 1: on that one because he pitched two and he can
16:36
Speaker 1: gets the Dodgers didn't allow hit and or a walk
16:39
Speaker 1: and struck out.
16:39
Speaker 3: Three, and don't sneeze it who he went through. Yeah,
16:42
Speaker 3: he gave hernandez Otani Pajez.
16:45
Speaker 2: S Freeman like he went right through the top of
16:47
Speaker 2: the order. Man, is just disgusting. That lineup is disgusting.
16:53
Speaker 2: I've heard they're pretty good. Oh my gosh, what they're
16:56
Speaker 2: all these guys? Also, can I give a shot out
16:58
Speaker 2: to Joey. Oh another other job by Joeyo, you know
17:02
Speaker 2: was at the absolute depths. He was a walk last night.
17:10
Speaker 2: He keeps bringing the energy to the plate, starting rallies
17:14
Speaker 2: when everyone when it looks bleakest at the end. The
17:17
Speaker 2: guy that everyone wanted out of town this last month,
17:20
Speaker 2: and he did it again last night. He started the
17:22
Speaker 2: rally again with that hit and he had a real
17:24
Speaker 2: Roger Dorn I'm talking about the Roger dorm Major League
17:27
Speaker 2: one energy when he started to find his you know, energy,
17:29
Speaker 2: when he started to find his passionate.
17:31
Speaker 1: Before or after the scene at fourth base.
17:35
Speaker 2: I want to say after after it, right, I think
17:38
Speaker 2: it is after before he became a clown in Major
17:41
Speaker 2: League two, when he when he was like, you know,
17:43
Speaker 2: he had to knock up the middle clap into the dugout,
17:46
Speaker 2: like let's get it going come on, like, let's go
17:49
Speaker 2: a lot of that from Joey Ortiz the last month
17:51
Speaker 2: and again last night starting that rally. I mean, that
17:54
Speaker 2: was just incredible. I heard it in there.
17:55
Speaker 3: There was a little there was a little nineteen ninety
17:57
Speaker 3: six super Bowl in that statement is look at the
18:01
Speaker 3: end there we came.
18:02
Speaker 2: Back the Dodgers.
18:05
Speaker 1: The Dodgers had lost seven in a row, then they
18:08
Speaker 1: won four or five, and now let's put them back
18:09
Speaker 1: into a slump. So Pax Monthsey's three run homer is
18:13
Speaker 1: now a blip on the radar, and the Brewers win
18:15
Speaker 1: the ball game. Epic, epic victory for them. In the
18:17
Speaker 1: regular season, they'll get much better than that. And then tonight, yeah,
18:19
Speaker 1: Gad Gasser against Yamamoto, talk about all that and more Packers.
18:24
Speaker 1: We got packers conversation. What did you like? What did
18:26
Speaker 1: you not like? We often knew game balls and kicks
18:29
Speaker 1: the balls after packing games. We don't need to do
18:31
Speaker 1: that per se, but we can do maybe winners and losers,
18:33
Speaker 1: or who's whose stock is rising, who's his falling? Yeah,
18:36
Speaker 1: we'll do the market Watch perhaps.
18:38
Speaker 3: On the good version of who's hot Who's not? With
18:40
Speaker 3: Donovan Jorgensen heating and cooling throughout the time. I'm talking
18:42
Speaker 3: about I'm talking I think we had a lot of
18:45
Speaker 3: heroes of the day and three guys running on fumes
18:47
Speaker 3: today and we're here for it. And there are a
18:50
Speaker 3: couple people in the ven diagram who were up for Packers.
18:54
Speaker 3: Ot heard us barristers out there, and a couple others
18:57
Speaker 3: call there with us. Now we're gonna do a little
18:58
Speaker 3: roll call. You're in the five o'clock, you're in the huddle.
19:01
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio wiscom. Heh and a line tried base
19:05
Speaker 3: head right field.
19:07
Speaker 2: Hamilton scores. We are tied at four and Powers on
19:15
Speaker 2: the crowd through base head.
19:17
Speaker 1: Here comes Chario and he will score and the Brewers
19:21
Speaker 1: take the lead of the ninth. Another two strike hit.
19:25
Speaker 3: Jake Powers puts the Brewers in front.
19:31
Speaker 2: Big Brewers win over the Dodgers.
19:33
Speaker 1: It's only one game, but it seemed like more after
19:37
Speaker 1: getting swept in San Diego. Brewers win. Packers lose last night,
19:40
Speaker 1: but that's not important. In the preseason, we're not really
19:42
Speaker 1: keeping score. We're watching development trends, injuries. We're watching and
19:49
Speaker 1: as kickers. JT the Wingman points out. JT the Wingman
19:54
Speaker 1: from Knoxville via Sussex said nice to the Packers as
19:57
Speaker 1: the team less penalized last night on special teams it
20:02
Speaker 1: was eleven to nine in penalty, So I don't know,
20:04
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, well.
20:05
Speaker 2: But early on the real sloppy ones hot.
20:07
Speaker 1: Descript having that, well, you had the best grade point
20:11
Speaker 1: average in the Delta fraternity house, you know, yeah, in
20:16
Speaker 1: the defensive line room. One point nine. Congratulations here at
20:19
Speaker 1: the top.
20:20
Speaker 2: Of the Steelers did have a lot of the bad
20:22
Speaker 2: p I s and all that stuff early on, so
20:24
Speaker 2: well and four personal foul.
20:26
Speaker 1: But yes in person, but JT said they may not
20:30
Speaker 1: have gotten it in the end zone. But with testing
20:32
Speaker 1: offensive line combinations, I thought they did alright. And zero
20:35
Speaker 1: holding calls, Billy, let's go.
20:37
Speaker 2: That is a good one.
20:37
Speaker 3: Yes, And a large portion of the first half were
20:41
Speaker 3: guys that were going are going to play for you?
20:43
Speaker 3: Now are they going to start? That's gonna be a question.
20:45
Speaker 3: Anthony Belt is not going to start. However, the swing
20:48
Speaker 3: tackle is going to play in games like, there's no
20:52
Speaker 3: doubt in my mind that if you're going to be
20:54
Speaker 3: the first guy in at that spot, you're gonna play.
20:56
Speaker 3: You hope that Jordan Morgan and Zach Baco Boole, don't
20:59
Speaker 3: miss any time. But it's the National Football League. There's
21:02
Speaker 3: going to be some that pops up. And Jagger Burton
21:05
Speaker 3: and Jacob Munk. I think both played very well at times.
21:09
Speaker 3: And Burton acquitted himself quite nicely to the NFL game
21:13
Speaker 3: in his first one, and he played a number of
21:15
Speaker 3: decent dudes over there. Now, Pittsburgh didn't dump a bunch
21:19
Speaker 3: of their starters out there. They gave the camouflage that
21:21
Speaker 3: they were going to We talked mostly about Rogers, but
21:24
Speaker 3: on the defensive side they didn't play. I didn't see
21:27
Speaker 3: her big out there. Did see Alex Heismith out there
21:29
Speaker 3: at least a little bit, and TJ. Watt cam Hayward
21:31
Speaker 3: didn't play. But there are some real dudes over there
21:33
Speaker 3: on that Pittsburgh line, and I thought that they played well.
21:36
Speaker 1: Didn't open up a ton of holes.
21:38
Speaker 3: But as long as if Aaron Banks and Zach Tom.
21:41
Speaker 1: There we go, son of a dollar in the jar.
21:46
Speaker 3: If Zach Ziebach ends up being in there, I didn't
21:49
Speaker 3: even notice that. Yeah, I just I caught myself right
21:51
Speaker 3: there at the end. But there you go, dollar in
21:53
Speaker 3: the jar. I think that they can be a better
21:56
Speaker 3: unit and listen, they didn't go out and make holes
22:00
Speaker 3: changes drew for a unit that was very underwhelming last year,
22:04
Speaker 3: but it did feel like they were also just kind
22:05
Speaker 3: of running it back.
22:07
Speaker 1: They very much might not.
22:08
Speaker 3: I mean they all reality could change out three starters
22:12
Speaker 3: going into this year, albeit with familiar faces in one
22:16
Speaker 3: draft pick and guys that you had in your building.
22:18
Speaker 3: But it could be a new left tackle, and depending
22:21
Speaker 3: on how long it takes Aaron Banks to be able
22:23
Speaker 3: to get into team drills and get himself ready for
22:26
Speaker 3: a season, you might be sitting out there with two
22:28
Speaker 3: new guards. And Sean Ryan was implanted there in the
22:33
Speaker 3: middle of the line late into the season. So it
22:36
Speaker 3: is it is a very much different offensive line, albeit
22:39
Speaker 3: with not a ton of new personnel to change it up.
22:42
Speaker 3: But they're not just going to run it back. They're
22:43
Speaker 3: changing it up because it just wasn't good enough a
22:45
Speaker 3: year ago.
22:46
Speaker 1: So preseason games in the NFL, much like spring training
22:52
Speaker 1: games in baseball, are often decided by guys with no
22:57
Speaker 1: chance of making the team.
22:58
Speaker 3: And at least they put names on the back of
23:00
Speaker 3: their jerseys in this one, and guys.
23:04
Speaker 1: Know they're going to play. They don't come sprinting across
23:06
Speaker 1: the parking lot in the eighth inning as they because
23:08
Speaker 1: we're out of players and we need somebody. But so
23:13
Speaker 1: you have to factor that in. The Packers number one
23:17
Speaker 1: offense took the ball, march down the field, got a
23:21
Speaker 1: fifty eight yard field goal that was negated because of
23:24
Speaker 1: a penalty, and then you got a thirty eight yard
23:25
Speaker 1: field or a thirty seven yardfield, whatever that was, and
23:29
Speaker 1: then they were done for the night. Yept, put the
23:31
Speaker 1: hat on, get yourself out of here. Now, had they
23:34
Speaker 1: played more, they would have probably been a little bit stronger.
23:37
Speaker 1: Same thing like most of the defensive guys played a
23:39
Speaker 1: series and a little bit a couple of plays more maybe,
23:41
Speaker 1: and then that was it for them. So maybe it
23:45
Speaker 1: speaks to your depth or your whatever. But they're not
23:48
Speaker 1: trying to win these games. As Lafleur said, there's no
23:52
Speaker 1: game planning, No one's that. You're just trying to look
23:54
Speaker 1: at your guys and put them in situations and try
23:57
Speaker 1: not to get them hurt. And that's the objective.
23:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you're not showing anything and you're not
24:02
Speaker 3: disguising anything. I'm really excited to see how they line
24:05
Speaker 3: up coming up defensively this year, because.
24:07
Speaker 1: That's the thing, because yeah, early on, especially with the
24:11
Speaker 1: starters and stuff, but sure earlier, yeah, Jonathan Gannon was
24:14
Speaker 1: in his bag. It was going after him and more
24:16
Speaker 1: than most and very much so, like you look at
24:20
Speaker 1: Drew Aller's numbers, that probably is somebody that knew exactly
24:23
Speaker 1: where you're going with the football pre snap, because they're
24:26
Speaker 1: not disguising their cover three, they're not trying to show
24:29
Speaker 1: trying to show anything different than the cover four that
24:32
Speaker 1: they're running, and you know what is going to work
24:34
Speaker 1: on each individual play.
24:36
Speaker 3: But there's something to the pressure they were bringing early
24:40
Speaker 3: I think I think it was twofold one. They're going
24:43
Speaker 3: to be way more exotic than just mugging up eight
24:46
Speaker 3: guys on the line of scrimmage. You might see that
24:47
Speaker 3: a ton this year. But also they were more focused
24:50
Speaker 3: on getting themselves prepared for the season than worried about
24:53
Speaker 3: anybody seeing what they're gonna do, because that also has
24:56
Speaker 3: to be one of the most overrated things in all
24:58
Speaker 3: of sports. Not after we won a freaking game, yeah,
25:02
Speaker 3: or two games, everybody knows what play you're running as well.
25:05
Speaker 3: There's only so many different ways, especially offensively, there's so
25:08
Speaker 3: many different ways that you can play defensively. Damn sure,
25:12
Speaker 3: you can disguise it and you can line up in
25:14
Speaker 3: different ways. But you can play Cover three match, you
25:17
Speaker 3: can play Cover three Sky, you can play cloud for
25:19
Speaker 3: there's variations of them. But if you're running cover three,
25:22
Speaker 3: you're running Cover three. Everyone at some point is running
25:25
Speaker 3: mostly the same stuff. Let's not act like we're all
25:28
Speaker 3: break that's a good point ball and everyone is Bill
25:31
Speaker 3: Walsh reincarnated here in twenty twenty seven, and no one ever.
25:34
Speaker 2: Asked this question. Isn't it also maybe more important to
25:37
Speaker 2: like practice being good at things other than worrying about
25:40
Speaker 2: other people saying them, Like okay, but yeah, you don't
25:42
Speaker 2: want to reveal stuff. Maybe, but like also if there
25:46
Speaker 2: isn't anything that exotic about it, like you said, Cover three,
25:48
Speaker 2: Cover two is what it is. Also like it's okay
25:50
Speaker 2: to go out and practice being good at it, like
25:52
Speaker 2: because if you're good at it, that should help you
25:54
Speaker 2: win games. Like you know what I mean. That is
25:57
Speaker 2: kind of funny, but that's preseason, and we we care
26:00
Speaker 2: about team results less in preseason and more individual results
26:04
Speaker 2: than almost any other time in sports. Because I guarantee
26:07
Speaker 2: if you stop. Most Packer fans in the street, they'd
26:09
Speaker 2: much rather have Tray Smack banging in fifty eight yarders,
26:12
Speaker 2: you know, and and LVN getting sacks and still losing,
26:17
Speaker 2: rather than than the Packers winning by thirty because all
26:20
Speaker 2: respect to Chiron Drones and his family, because those guys
26:23
Speaker 2: had big games. Like that's just the reality. You want
26:25
Speaker 2: to see progress from important individual players in preseason things
26:28
Speaker 2: that will get you excited. You know. It's not much
26:31
Speaker 2: different than and than watching your rookies play in Summer
26:34
Speaker 2: League when you're a Bucks fan like we were, I
26:36
Speaker 2: didn't really care about the results as much as Braden
26:38
Speaker 2: Burry's filling it up and stuff like that. So it
26:41
Speaker 2: is what it is. This is the time of year.
26:43
Speaker 2: But to me, when you when you see Tray Smack
26:45
Speaker 2: after all the you know, investment they have in him
26:48
Speaker 2: basically is like needing him to work out and how
26:51
Speaker 2: important that can be and in important games as we know,
26:54
Speaker 2: and seeing him hit big field goals in the stadium
26:56
Speaker 2: like that, that was good enough for me to call
26:58
Speaker 2: to success last night.
27:00
Speaker 1: Four rookie kickers in the last five years they've had, Yeah.
27:03
Speaker 3: That's just crazy. That's a hell of a run. At
27:07
Speaker 3: some point you think it's got to work out. They
27:10
Speaker 3: cheated our boy Lucas Vanes out of that stack last night.
27:12
Speaker 2: Oh they didn't give it to him.
27:13
Speaker 3: No, they didn't give it to him. I think they
27:14
Speaker 3: gave it to Zaire Franklin on the blitz. But again,
27:17
Speaker 3: Zaire Franklin, blitzing is not something that I had planned
27:20
Speaker 3: in my recap of game number one in the preseason.
27:24
Speaker 3: Backers went with it, and they also played almost everybody
27:27
Speaker 3: right like that. They they at least got almost everybody
27:31
Speaker 3: ready to roll. And good to see Jayden read across
27:34
Speaker 3: the middle. Good to see him with a little bit
27:35
Speaker 3: of yak after a catch wide open ball just striked
27:40
Speaker 3: right across the middle by Love.
27:42
Speaker 2: That looked good.
27:42
Speaker 3: And I hope you want to be able to finish
27:45
Speaker 3: off the series with a touchdown. But also I would wonder,
27:49
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe those guys will be able to
27:51
Speaker 3: talk to him in the locker room and say, hey,
27:53
Speaker 3: exactly how did you feel at that moment because you
27:56
Speaker 3: get in, you've finished the drive.
27:58
Speaker 1: What you think it is?
27:59
Speaker 3: All of a sudden it hits the field goal and
28:01
Speaker 3: you're putting the helmet on, knowing it's one series and done,
28:04
Speaker 3: probably putting the hat on, maybe loosen in the belt
28:07
Speaker 3: as like, wait a second, we got to go back
28:09
Speaker 3: out there. Oh boy, all right, do you want this
28:11
Speaker 3: one right? You're gonna get back out there? Oh sweet, okay,
28:15
Speaker 3: never mind sudden change, We're right back in there. There
28:17
Speaker 3: might have been a little uh relaxing of the shoulders
28:20
Speaker 3: very quickly after you think you're already done.
28:22
Speaker 2: And great to see marshn Leoyd out there. Play, get tackled,
28:26
Speaker 2: get up, bounce, all those things are good baby steps
28:29
Speaker 2: for him. But the reality is he hasn't been able
28:31
Speaker 2: to do this, you know. So you know, he didn't
28:33
Speaker 2: break off anything crazy. He didn't have to. He went
28:36
Speaker 2: out there played. It was healthy.
28:38
Speaker 1: Neither team, neither team ran the ball effectively, so I
28:42
Speaker 1: guess credit to the interior of the defensive lines and linebackers,
28:47
Speaker 1: and the Packers didn't do a great job when they
28:49
Speaker 1: didn't get pressure of defending the pass.
28:51
Speaker 2: That's fair.
28:52
Speaker 1: He got pretty much shredded. They got whatever they wanted.
28:56
Speaker 3: Uh and Jalen Simpson, Raynichki, all star actors.
28:59
Speaker 1: You're stadium. Oh, he had a rough night. A little
29:02
Speaker 1: bit different hard knocks would have done the whole segment
29:04
Speaker 1: on him.
29:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it would have went. I mean, they might
29:07
Speaker 3: have hit the tome ra and all they music when
29:09
Speaker 3: he walked to break and it wasn't even for an injury.
29:14
Speaker 1: You know, my I've been I've been looking at my
29:17
Speaker 1: aura app because I have the aura ring.
29:19
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, your stats night at the station here
29:24
Speaker 3: in the US.
29:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I those are nice couches in the performance. Oh yeah,
29:32
Speaker 2: I was.
29:32
Speaker 1: I should have gone in there because I was in
29:33
Speaker 1: my own little layer and uh on a crappy couch
29:36
Speaker 1: and a recliner. But my aura ring, I'm trying to see,
29:40
Speaker 1: like what how ridiculous my sleep score is? And it
29:44
Speaker 1: says waiting for your SLEEPDT. I don't think I got
29:46
Speaker 1: any REGISTERATA.
29:49
Speaker 2: You would have been better off getting steps in at
29:51
Speaker 2: this point.
29:52
Speaker 1: At this point, I would have been because I did
29:54
Speaker 1: lay down and I did rest, and there were times
29:56
Speaker 1: when I was kind of drifting, and you have those
29:58
Speaker 1: kind of like your your brain seems like you're dreaming.
30:01
Speaker 1: I was in and out of it, but it's waiting
30:04
Speaker 1: for my sleep out of like I've been up all night.
30:06
Speaker 1: But he said, hey, excuse me, sir, it's an all
30:09
Speaker 1: night or but there are people listening to us that
30:11
Speaker 1: we're awake then and are awake now, and how about
30:14
Speaker 1: that we love them. We love our five o'clock clubbers
30:17
Speaker 1: all the time, but especially after a late night for us.
30:19
Speaker 1: Last night, for example, the barrister hit us up. He said,
30:22
Speaker 1: got to hear you, got you boys in the car
30:24
Speaker 1: on the way home from VA. Come on to our veterans.
30:28
Speaker 1: Then when I got home, I got to watch the
30:30
Speaker 1: Brewers play the night. That's a nice doubleheader. Yes, that
30:33
Speaker 1: plays man, and that's a nice one.
30:35
Speaker 3: That ninth inning is going to give you a lot
30:36
Speaker 3: of life. And let's not jump the put the card
30:40
Speaker 3: ahead of the horse. Here, pump the horses. Is our
30:43
Speaker 3: friend Brian Busch. Ronda did tell us, Dad tell us said,
30:49
Speaker 3: speak positivity into existence.
30:51
Speaker 2: Now I spit on the shoes of negativity. Go Brewers.
30:54
Speaker 3: Also, well done, Smack a couple more games and will
30:57
Speaker 3: really help. I will really help get that kid off
30:59
Speaker 3: to a solid star.
31:00
Speaker 2: Go pack. Go. Ron to thinking about Ronda talking about
31:04
Speaker 2: the butterflies and how we're the butterfly and the Brewers
31:07
Speaker 2: the you know, gonna traverse through and like man, the
31:11
Speaker 2: positive she started that positivity.
31:13
Speaker 3: Also want Rona to know my youngster was a big fan.
31:16
Speaker 3: That there is a that there are three butterflies named
31:18
Speaker 3: after us.
31:19
Speaker 2: How about that?
31:20
Speaker 1: That's huge.
31:21
Speaker 3: He's very excited now may or may not have thought
31:24
Speaker 3: he encountered our butterflies like three or four times yesterday.
31:28
Speaker 2: So we might we might just be everywhere. I don't know, guys,
31:31
Speaker 2: we might have to have Rondo.
31:33
Speaker 1: We might have to have her do us a favor
31:35
Speaker 1: and spit on the shoes from Bill from Madison, come on,
31:39
Speaker 1: come on, Madison, come on, coming in hot last night?
31:42
Speaker 1: Can we please play Vaughan and Bowers together for a
31:44
Speaker 1: few consecutive games? And it looks like the Brewers picked
31:47
Speaker 1: up another gas can reliever at the deadline. Can't wait
31:50
Speaker 1: to see Joe blow Romero add gas to the fire.
31:54
Speaker 1: The guy hasn't even thrown a game yet, and you're
31:57
Speaker 1: telling him with a nickname like he sucks.
31:59
Speaker 2: This is said Tella avoided his wrath. Now, I don't know,

Speaker 1: nine seven, three year ticket to the nicolay Low dot
33:10
Speaker 1: com talk and text line. Now, the Brewers came back
33:13
Speaker 1: last night against the highest paid closer in Major League Baseball.
33:18
Speaker 1: That's right, Edwin Diaz big Money, signed a sixty nine
33:22
Speaker 1: million dollar deal and one another one of those deals
33:25
Speaker 1: kind of went under the radars, like, oh, the doctors
33:27
Speaker 1: just get everybody, and then half dozen games into his
33:31
Speaker 1: tenure at Chavez Ravine, loose bodies in his elbow needs
33:35
Speaker 1: surgery comes back. Oh he had the school situation. Okay, yeah,
33:38
Speaker 1: he comes back as surgery comes back loose Bodies.
33:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, as the name of a different type of movie too.
33:44
Speaker 1: So he comes back and the results haven't been great. No,
33:48
Speaker 1: he's blow.
33:48
Speaker 2: He's six out of ten dollars saves. He blew his
33:50
Speaker 2: fourteen last.
33:51
Speaker 1: Night, three months out and it's like three out of
33:53
Speaker 1: the last four. Oh yeah, So he's fourteen appearances into
33:58
Speaker 1: a sixty nine million dollar contract and his era is
34:00
Speaker 1: now eleven point five to seven.
34:02
Speaker 3: Oh beautiful, But what a beautiful moment because he signed
34:06
Speaker 3: like right as Tucker signed right because it was oh wait,
34:09
Speaker 3: the Dodgers just won won their second consecutive World Series
34:13
Speaker 3: and spend more money than everybody. They just paid somebody
34:15
Speaker 3: sixty million and got the best closer on the market.
34:17
Speaker 2: So he had a lot of booze last night.
34:19
Speaker 1: Here's his weekend though. I mean here here is his
34:21
Speaker 1: last week. Checked into a one run game Friday night
34:25
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, gave up a two run walk off homer
34:27
Speaker 1: to Ryan Walschmidt. Nice came back on Saturday night, ninth inning,
34:32
Speaker 1: faced Corbyn, Carrol, Corbyn, Carroll, it's a tying triple. He
34:39
Speaker 1: comes back on Monday facing the Royals, the last place
34:43
Speaker 1: Royals one two three inning, no big deal. And here
34:46
Speaker 1: we are last night four two lead and he pukes
34:50
Speaker 1: it away and he's so again, thirty two year old guy.
34:54
Speaker 1: They went and got the top of the market guy,
34:55
Speaker 1: sixty nine million dollars. It's not working out that well.
34:58
Speaker 3: No, Also, somebody's got to show me the the best
35:00
Speaker 3: version of Edwin Diaz and it was was it past
35:03
Speaker 3: the WBC ago right? Like when he he was celebrating
35:06
Speaker 3: in the WBC and then blew.
35:07
Speaker 1: Out his patella.
35:10
Speaker 2: Has it been the same since so now? Yeah.
35:12
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, Dave Roberts is much like Murph with Yelich,
35:16
Speaker 1: going to stay the course. He's they asked him, what
35:18
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You think about a change? He's like,
35:20
Speaker 1: give me another option. Quote was given, Well, how about
35:24
Speaker 1: Tanner Scott?
35:25
Speaker 2: I managed a dog.
35:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gave it up to Evan Phillips Edgardo Henriquez, Like,
35:32
Speaker 1: you got other options, Dave, You got.
35:34
Speaker 2: You got boys out there, Dave. But Roberts. Roberts has too.
35:37
Speaker 3: Yellich is also in the lineup because Mookie Betts has
35:40
Speaker 3: got an almost sub seven hundred o PS and their
35:43
Speaker 3: sixty million guy, million dollar guy Tucker has continued the
35:46
Speaker 3: swoon that he had the second half with the Cubs
35:48
Speaker 3: basically all year.
35:49
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that Dodgers can sustain those things.
35:52
Speaker 1: If the Dodgers have an eight game cushion over the
35:54
Speaker 1: Padres in the West, they're walting basically, but they're half
35:57
Speaker 1: game back of the Braves for the first round, by
36:00
Speaker 1: which is what they're vying for, because they don't want
36:01
Speaker 1: to play in the first round either, even as great
36:03
Speaker 1: as they are.
36:04
Speaker 2: And it's not.
36:06
Speaker 1: A good time to have your bullpen flagging when they
36:09
Speaker 1: are in the middle of a stretch of thirteen games
36:11
Speaker 1: in thirteen days. The Brewers are wrapping a stretch of
36:13
Speaker 1: seventeen and seventeen and we know it's brutal, and they
36:16
Speaker 1: run on fumes a little bit, as we've seen.
36:18
Speaker 2: They've been inconsistent in the ballo.
36:20
Speaker 1: But all this is to say and to put a
36:22
Speaker 1: bow on it. Friend of the show, Andy and westpend
36:25
Speaker 1: hits a snickel a log in talking text one eight seven, seven,
36:27
Speaker 1: seven nine four one ninety seven three. Acquiring guys like
36:31
Speaker 1: scooball mize and may mean at means absolutely nothing in
36:35
Speaker 1: today's baseball. When you can't close out games, it's amazing.
36:40
Speaker 1: He's not wrong. And that made me think the visionary
36:44
Speaker 1: that was Doug Melvin, who twenty years ago, that was
36:48
Speaker 1: a long time ago. He's like, you know, maybe we're
36:51
Speaker 1: doing this backwards. Maybe we should start the game with
36:54
Speaker 1: the bullpen guys and bring in your A starters, bring
36:57
Speaker 1: in Kershaw in the fourth inning and.
36:58
Speaker 2: Let him pitch in the night finish it.
37:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it got me thinking, it's like, okay, why
37:03
Speaker 1: not have an opener in front of Mis. So Mis
37:05
Speaker 1: gets to pitch the eighth of the ninth and face
37:07
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper and get to face Freddy Freeman and those guys,
37:11
Speaker 1: and so his sixth inning would be his ninth. It
37:13
Speaker 1: would be the ninth inning of the game. Doesn't that
37:16
Speaker 1: make something Well, the more you think about it is
37:18
Speaker 1: like that's damn logical, because if you give up runs
37:20
Speaker 1: early in the game out of the bullpen, you got
37:23
Speaker 1: more innings to come back. Yes, as if you if
37:25
Speaker 1: mis pitches and it takes out, if he leaves the
37:28
Speaker 1: game after six, you got to navigate those innings. You
37:31
Speaker 1: give up the runs in those innings. It's I hate
37:33
Speaker 1: to use the word, but there's leverage, right, there's it's
37:36
Speaker 1: a it's a bigger situation. His logic is not flawed.
37:40
Speaker 1: Somebody will come up with a scheme to do that
37:43
Speaker 1: and have the Mises and to have the scooples and
37:46
Speaker 1: those guys pitch in the biggest innings.
37:48
Speaker 3: Of the game might and be able to go and
37:50
Speaker 3: be their best and be freshest, and the amount how
37:53
Speaker 3: tight we are with the numbers of three times through
37:55
Speaker 3: the order drew, you would think that they would have
37:57
Speaker 3: kind of cracked the code on that. I still think
37:59
Speaker 3: the psyche of the pitcher is like they don't want
38:01
Speaker 3: to be It still messes with them to be able
38:04
Speaker 3: to start the game or not start the game. I
38:06
Speaker 3: think the best example of it is Game five against
38:09
Speaker 3: the Cubs last year. What was the Brewers worst thing
38:12
Speaker 3: in that entire series? The first hitting freaking Michael Bush
38:15
Speaker 3: out in the first innings, getting Suzuki out in the
38:18
Speaker 3: first inning. Why don't we throw our all star closer
38:20
Speaker 3: who hasn't been closing the ninth inning. Why don't you
38:23
Speaker 3: go out there and fire the boys up and then
38:25
Speaker 3: we'll hand the ball over to Miserowski.
38:26
Speaker 1: And Yeah, it worked out.
38:28
Speaker 2: It worked out perfect.
38:29
Speaker 1: Wild that it's you reverse engineering. And I'm pretty sure
38:33
Speaker 1: at the time Melvin was saying, like, you don't you
38:35
Speaker 1: want Kershaw pitching on the ninth inning in the World Series?
38:38
Speaker 1: That would be ideal. It never happens, so to get
38:41
Speaker 1: google such as Game seven of the last Yeah, playoff
38:45
Speaker 1: series though playoff series are won and lost, you know,
38:48
Speaker 1: between the sixth and the ninth generally.
38:51
Speaker 2: But that would say the pushback that I would say,
38:53
Speaker 2: I agree with you, And that's where openers came from,
38:55
Speaker 2: and teams that had to be creative and Miley and
38:57
Speaker 2: what the Bruers did. Teams like the Dodgers that has
38:59
Speaker 2: so much talent Ken bludging you a bit with so
39:01
Speaker 2: many good arms, like is it is true that you
39:04
Speaker 2: want to have those guys and the closers and things
39:06
Speaker 2: like that, but usually they have enough talent to sustain
39:09
Speaker 2: dips like this in the front and the back end.
39:12
Speaker 2: So if they're able to sustain that much high priced
39:16
Speaker 2: talent and that many good I mean, they also had
39:18
Speaker 2: a bunch of starters dominated a series last year and
39:20
Speaker 2: go to the World Series against US because they had
39:22
Speaker 2: so many good pictures to start as well. So I
39:25
Speaker 2: agree that you want both ends of it.
39:27
Speaker 3: But you can also thing as we're watching Yamamoto and
39:30
Speaker 3: Snell just destroy our favorite team in two games at
39:33
Speaker 3: American Family Field and silence the entire thing, like, hey,
39:36
Speaker 3: if they just get into the bullpen, well, if they
39:38
Speaker 3: can just tap this Dodger bullpen and they'll have a chance.
39:41
Speaker 3: I think they had what one combined inning in the
39:43
Speaker 3: two games. Yeah, that's the thing, Like I think that
39:45
Speaker 3: was true.
39:46
Speaker 2: But we couldn't get to the bullpen and get and
39:48
Speaker 2: like last night the Brewers, you know, and facing Roki
39:50
Speaker 2: Sazaki is a very good pitcher. He's like, you can
39:53
Speaker 2: make an argument he's their sixth or seventh best starter
39:55
Speaker 2: and something when they're all healthy in some ways. I mean,
39:57
Speaker 2: but you know, that's That's the one thing I'd say
40:00
Speaker 2: is that certain teams can bludgeon you with a depth
40:03
Speaker 2: of talent.
40:03
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know, he probably rose after they got
40:06
Speaker 3: rid of River Ryan because he was so okay.
40:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
40:11
Speaker 1: And also shout out to our boy Ben.
40:13
Speaker 3: He was hammering hitting us with some texts last night
40:15
Speaker 3: on Packer's OT Late night with the boys for Packers Football,

Speaker 3: It might be a nice thing to have at some point,
40:52
Speaker 3: but I woke up three times with a foot in
40:54
Speaker 3: my head, so maybe that three time would have been
40:56
