  Speaker 3: my sports radio show in Milwaukee. First, I go heat
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: up the coffee. Then I make sure the bathrooms fly.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Then we're working.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Then I go to the bathroom. It's like one of
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: those deals. One of those reels. We could fire that up.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: We could start it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's something about these things that you're here
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: early enough.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: People love watching these things now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: And they're like, after a while, it's like, man, is
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: everyone doing one of these? First, I went into my, whoop,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: someone's in my parking spot. I guess I'll have to
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: go over here. It's like they shoot all this video.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: They did like, man, I just think of all the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: video they got to shoot.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: You know, come home with me. But the content works.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: As a single 40-year-old in New York City with no friends.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I love these influencers. That's what they are, Billy, you know?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I love these influencers. They're kind of like the foodie
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: types and stuff, too. It's like, here, I'm a 30-year-old
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: single girl, and here's everything I ate this weekend in Milwaukee.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. How do you not weigh 700 pounds? Exactly.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We started our day at Alley Boys with this huge
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: bagel sandwich. Then we went and got ramen. And then
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we went to Carnivore. It was really good with the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: spices that combine. Purple Door ice cream.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: And then I was like... This is what you're having
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: on a Saturday? Oh, then I got a matcha. The
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: stop for insomnia cookies on the way home and wrapped
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: up our night.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Then I went for one of my best indulgences. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: went to the Milwaukee Public Market and hit all the stops.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: It's totally great. I love that you're showing it off.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: It's fun. I understand we're trying to get people to
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: be interested.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know that I understand the fast-paced whisper.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: That's what I don't get. It's a fast pace. They
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: talk over themselves. There's got to be some sort of like...
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Better than the vocal frog.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm with you on that one. That's for sure. Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: That was in the 2000s and 10s.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's just there's got to be some sort of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: evidence that shows that if you have the fast-paced whisper
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: where you talk over yourself... It sounds more dramatic or something.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not against the game. I just want people to
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: be more honest about it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: And I get it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: We're trying to do content stuff. Be honest about what
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you're eating that week. It was Wednesday night, so me
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and Chef Boyardee had a date. Just be honest, all right?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I made leftover pasta because that's what I had in
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the fridge.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: But I don't want to be honest about all the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: snacks that I just ate at my kids last night.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Nobody wanted it. I took a handful of M & M' s,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and I called that lunch. Be honest. Only if they're
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: being at M & M' s. You gotta have some protein
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Why don't I take a walk through Vendor World and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: show everybody.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: A day in the life? Yeah, a day in the life.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I took the peas out of the ramen noodles because
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not really a fan. I don't like anything green.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Alright, 877-794-1973. Represent.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Check in 7 o'clock. Clubbers, if you're just joining us, welcome.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Those who have been with us since 5 a.m., thank you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: These are easy shows to do. Brewers beat the Cubs again.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Miz struggled. Brewers win.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: The offense. That's right.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The Brewers offense is the story the last couple days
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: because they're just being relentless.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And Drew, they needed to pick up the pitching staff
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a couple of different times. The staff's been so good.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And listen, Miz has dominated all year long in the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: one time that he does not have his A.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: B, or potentially even C stuff yesterday.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: They end up with a phenomenal offensive output. They start
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: out early. He gives up the lead a couple of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: different times. They fight back, and then once it goes
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to the bullpens, that thing was raps when they were
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: opening that Wrigley door.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And I was going to say, maybe we should call
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Joey Ortiz the Sandman, because late twice now, putting people
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to bed, putting the Cubs to bed twice with those
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: late tack-on insurance runs, or maybe the Reaper.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to get too dramatic. The Sandman. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: he's putting them to bed.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, Joey Ortiz has provided the late-inning insurance tack-on
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: runs that we always lament when teams come back.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: We say, should have got some tack-on runs. It was
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the homer last night. It was the single. Boom, RBI, RBI. Like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: we've been counting on Joey Ortiz to give us those
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: insurance runs.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Pretty wild that the Cubs scored all of their runs
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in last evening's game with Miz on the mound.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And all early. Nails again. Offense, just enough.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Those insurance runs are nice, too, especially in the ninth.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: How about in, you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Know what, Drew, for as much as we talk about
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it and as many days as we come in here
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and lament and be frustrated for a two for 14
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: or a, three for 13 day with runners in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: scoring position. They were seven of 14 with runners in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: scoring position last night.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Pretty good. That's a wild run.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And I don't mind leaving 10 men on base when
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you score nine runs.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: When we score nine, it'll work out. And it goes
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: back to the deal. If I'm going to leave guys
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: on base, it means that I got guys on base.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'll take guys on base and a lot of traffic
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and live with the results. But how about living with
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the results of Luis Lara and Cooper Pratt? I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: both of their first full Cubs series here. We heard
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: from Logan Henderson in the first hour. It's going to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: be his first start against the Cubs tonight. And clearly
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Luis Lara is going to be a part of this
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: thing going into the playoffs. I think Cooper Pratt's going
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to be playing a ton during the playoffs. I don't
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: necessarily know that they're going to go anywhere else. And, man,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: they're rising to the occasion here in some playoff-like atmospheres.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Both of them have had nice days.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: 275.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Both guys have come up to the big club in
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the middle of a pennant race and just jumped right
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on the treadmill and ran.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Like, this is it. Okay, this is the culture. This
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: is what we expect of you. You're going to come up.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: You're here for a reason. You're going to perform. We
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: need that. And they've done it. They've both done it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And how about Pratt since the slap on the wrist
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: by Murph, too?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, for everybody that thought that that was
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: going to drew ruin his confidence and he was going
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to shutter and hide.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's been the case. I don't think
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: that's been the problem for him last night.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: That at bat that he had that finishes with the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: RBI base hit is. maybe one of the best at
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: bats he's had all year. Great at bat.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: His RBI single to get our first run on the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: board two days ago was huge. Like I mentioned, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: momentum diving headfirst on that, on that bunt last night
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: was a great dive. He's playing well. He's playing hard.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: He's responded well to the managing. He's responded well to the, um,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Had some good chance going last night, too, after he
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: got that base, which we've needed for a long time
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: since Cecil. You know, we need coop.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: We need that. All right. I really enjoy that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I like that. Jeff and Fitchburg.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: What I'm loving most about this series is the perpetually
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: constipated look on Craig Council's face.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: A little bit of schadenfreude there for a lot of
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the same. They're showing look he had when they were
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: winning games. And they flash.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: They do love flashing it over to him all the time, though.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Brewers TV director in that truck is like.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Base hit. Show Craig. They know what the fans want.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: All right, base hit. Show counsel. See what we got here.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: See what kind of face we can get here. To
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Drew's point, that's fair, Drew. That's just how he always looks. Good, bad, indifferent.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Definitely some deep sighs, though, as he has to get
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: up off that perch. All right, I got to go
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: make another pitching change.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: All right, I got to go make another pitching change.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: He's got to do better.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: All right, here's one. This is the Armand, the Eeyore,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the Warrior Award, right? The worry warriors. The Brewers win tonight.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Henderson pitches well. They take three or four from Chicago.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Would anybody be surprised if they lose two out of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: three in Cincinnati?
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Probably wouldn't be.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: A tough park to play in and a tough park
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to pitch in. And when you're coming off an emotional high,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that'll be an interesting one, too. Just how do you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: navigate that coming back down? Because the atmosphere in Cincinnati
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is not going to be a tenth of what it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is at Wrigley for these last four.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: No, but the Reds have shown in the last week
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: or so that they're going to play hard. They're going
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to be playing exactly like one of those bad teams
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: that's going to get a little bit of life. They've
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: won five of seven and winning two series against the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Padres and Cubs.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I love me some Buster Olney.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: He's been a friend of mine for a long time,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but he was pumping out the strength of schedule of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: all the contenders. I'm like, dude, don't you know that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that doesn't matter this time of year? It really doesn't.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I lived it. I lived it from the other side,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: watching the Brewers win games they shouldn't have won against
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: teams like that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: That looked like they were choking. But it's not.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's just one team's trying to win. The other team's like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: if it happens, it's all good. We're going to come
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: out here and take my floor pass and see how
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it plays.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The nights that you go out, here's an Armin analogy.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: When you're out with your boys in your mid-20s, your
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: salad days, you go out and you're planning on having
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a huge night.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Then it's never night.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: When your buddies drag you off the couch and you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: haven't showered in two days.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Those are the best ones. And you go out, that's
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: the day you go on a heater, and that's the
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: day you meet, you know, maybe... Significant other. All of
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: a sudden, those seven numbers. Let's go. I'm looking forward
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: to something like this. She said she was from Brazil, guys.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: The anticipation. Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: The anticipation. So, again, maybe it's just me. But I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: could see that happening. Brewers win tonight and then have
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a rough weekend just to hang over. But then, here's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the key to tonight. Why is tonight such a swing game?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: The division is locked. It wraps up now. It's wrapped up.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's the season-high nine-game lead with 22 to play. It
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: would be an epic. Like I said, If the Brewers
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: go 11-11 in the last 22, the Cubs have to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: go 20-2.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Even the Packers couldn't see somebody blow this lead.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: The Cubs would have to go 20-2 and maybe even
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: better because if the Brewers win this one, they win
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the season series. It becomes an extra game because you've
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: got the tiebreaker. They can't tie you. They have to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: beat you.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: So the division is locked. And you would be due
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to lose some. But today is.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: A swing game because if the Brewers win today in
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: any fashion, but if they win, especially the way they
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: have these last couple, What motivation is there for Cubs
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: fans to come up to Milwaukee next week?
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's a great call. That's a good point.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So the Labor Day game, like maybe they've already bought
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the tickets and planned it, but they're not going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: be bebopping and scatting. They're not going to be peacocking
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: because they're going to be there watching like, oh, great.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll lose the division by seven instead of ten.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Tuesday-Wednesday night games are going to be
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: lightly attended.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And that's schools back in. And so that is a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: key function of tonight. If the Brewers win tonight, it's awesome.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Takes the wind out of the sails. But it definitely
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: takes the starch out of them. And so anybody who said, oh,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to any Brewers Cup games. The Cubs
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: fans are a-holes. I'm not going. Well, then you can
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: go because they're going to be sitting on their hands.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: They're going to be like, we're not winning the division.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Anything we can do to bring those ticket prices down,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm good with. That's what I'm saying is you may
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: see some dumpage going on. Some Brewers fans are like, okay,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Labor Day is usually they drop pretty well, but the Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing they have the Cubs because otherwise.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Those would be lightly attended. Those are tough nights.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Tuesday, Wednesday, school's just back in, even though it's 640
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: starts now.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: We spent a bunch of money this past weekend on
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: The series in general, the last two nights have taken
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: some of the starch, but think about that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: You can almost hear it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Listen, Billy, those are the prices on StubHub and TickPick
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: falling right now. I can almost hear the wind going through.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They're tumbling down. So that's where tonight is. Extra important
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for that reason only.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: And you just went right into my mind because I
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: had been thinking and looking and started to dabble on
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the idea of the Tuesday night Brewers Cubs.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Maybe I do go.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe I do go to that game. But now I'm
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: definitely going to be like 300 and holding. Because this
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: is almost like I got a money line play at
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Brewers win here tonight. Those tickets are definitely going down.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: This is a new prediction market for you, Billy.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now Monday is the highest priced get-in price at
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Cubs Brewers right now. at 62 and that's gonna hold
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: because that's a vacation day for people that's an outing
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: day if they plan on it they're gonna come up
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: but you're right but tuesday night from 34 wednesday night
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: from 26 so those two nights are the ones you
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: can really look at they.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Can already be going they're gonna be falling now because
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: there's not going to be any anything at stake and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and monday is also going to be and and i
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: would imagine there's a number of uh folks doing this
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: from below the border of they're going to the game
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: on Sunday and Lambeau and then coming back and hitting
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Brewers game on Monday. And, and that's going to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: be a tough one because they're going to catch two L's.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Yep. Maybe, maybe two L's, maybe two L's.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Let's just cover it. Come on.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: As long as we're looking ahead Sunday night, as long
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: as we're looking ahead, like the Brewers, after they play
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: at Wrigley tonight, they go to Cincinnati for three. They
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: come home Cubs on Labor Day, Cubs on Tuesday, Cubs
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Tuesday, Brewers are off a week from today.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: The 10th. On the 10th.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And you know why that's significant? Because we have an
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: announcement of some significance to make at this juncture. Because
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: one week from today, the Brewers will not play. But
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: we've got something for you to do in the evening
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to occupy your time.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Come on now. Yeah, that's right.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Beginning next week, one week from tonight, September 10th, you
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: can join us for the huddle live from Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, a tradition unlike any other. We're going to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: be at Pottawatomie Sportsbook every Thursday night. Well, with a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: few exceptions. Most Thursday nights. For a little live broadcast
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: from 5 to 7, leading you into Thursday night football.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Let's go. An evening version. Our 5 o'clock club in
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: the morning. We have a 5 o'clock club in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: evening on Thursdays. Pottawatomie.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Us three are all going to be there. Armand's going
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to take off the ankle bracelet. He's going to get
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to come with us.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: It'll be running three wide at the Annex at Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's going to be excellent, which is the best place
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to be hanging out outside of the sports book. You
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: just walk right towards the sports book, hang a left.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You'll see a big.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Amount of signs.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: You'll see us hanging out here, sitting in a sweet table,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: talking and some nice comfy couches for you to hang out.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Also like the low pressure area. A lot of people,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I think drew walk up to the sports book. There's
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a lot going on.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. 2000 square foot video wall. It can be overwhelming.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: The annex, you're going to get the games on. You're
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: going to get us chirping and talking and having fun.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And maybe also some great drink specials throughout those.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: A lot of places. That's right. A lot of places
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: to sit. Couches. I love the annex.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Plenty of kiosks so you can make those quick live bets, obviously.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Make those investments. And we'll be doing this every Thursday, guys,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: during the season. Every Thursday. Unless there's a game, obviously.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Unless the Packers play.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And we won't have a show on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, we're locked in Thursday nights.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It's the huddle live at the annex at Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: The official sportsbook partner of the Green Bay Packers. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: our official sportsbook on the show. And our official sportsbook.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And, Drew, it really is because of the demand that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the 5 o'clock clubbers have put out there.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: That's right. Thank you, guys.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: At some point, the club was going to have to
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: get a permanent landing spot. And what's better than Friday
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Junior to fire him?
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 5 to 7, you can still come and see
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: us and then hit the rack and be up. That's
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: our plan.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Right back with us.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yes. Never mind Wildest Dreams. I think we could do
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: 5 o'clock club. Twice in a day. I mean, I
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: can't wait.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: The thing about the huddle live is, yes, we'll be
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: talking football. We'll be making projections and picks and talking
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: about point spreads and talking about Thursday night football and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: obviously talking a lot of the Packers. In fact, the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: voice of the Packers, Wayne Larive, will join us at
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of dates on the Thursday night.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Yes, about once a month.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Thursday night huddle live from Pottawatomie Sportsbook, the Annex. We
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: will be there from 5 to 7, broadcasting live. Now,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about this is the overlap because, well,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: obviously there might be some Brewers games there. The Brewers
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: don't play at home on either of those Thursdays, on
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the first three Thursdays. But there might be a playoff
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: game that we're leading into.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: If we're there on a Thursday night, what better place
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: than to be there for your pregame festivities or if
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: it's a road game, the game festivities.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I was going to say the road game destination. And also,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: like we've seen and we had one last year during
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: one of our football feasts on a Thursday night.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Playoff.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I think an LCS game happening right while we were on.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That'd be a great viewing party. And the other thing is, too,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: if you have taken or are thinking about taking the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Pottawatomie game game day shuttle to and from the Brewers game,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that's where it picks up and drops off. So if
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: it is playoff baseball sitting there waiting before seven o'clock
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: first pitch, you're going to the game. You're hanging out
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: with us, getting some drinks, getting on the bus and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: then going to and from the game. That's a heck
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: of a way to spend.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: So one week from tonight, the huddle live at Pottawatomie
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Sportsbook from 5 to 7 p.m. That's right, 5 to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: 7 p.m., leading you into Thursday night football. We'll have
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: some giveaways. We're going to have a little contesting, a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: little phrase that pays for you, a little keyword that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: if you listen to us on Thursday morning and hear
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the keyword, then you come and say it to us,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and you might be able to win a $ 10 gift card.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And there's also going to be, Potawatomi is going to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: have some sweet opportunities for you to invest and have
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a chance to win.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Some Packers tickets.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Indeed.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: They'll have all of the details throughout coming up next week, too.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: At Select Days, our friends from Jamison will be on
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: hand doing some sampling.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Which is now something that is going to be very
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: near and dear to my heart.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: And the food at the Sportsbook is incredible. Delicious.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And we're only probably going to get Doug Russell's mama's
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: pancakes a couple of times. Only a couple.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Because the fried chicken is going to be sitting right there.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Sitting right on it. Oh, my gosh. The fried chicken.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about a fastball middle-middle? That fried
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: chicken with the spicy bread and game on.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Really good. They have some amazing menu items there.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: One week from tonight, we will kick off. We'll put
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the full schedule online. But you can think about it
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: just basically everything. And Thursday is a big night at
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the Sportsbook and the Potawatomi in general. But Thursday nights,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: 5 to 7, The Huddle Live at Pottawatomie Sportsbook in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the Annex, just adjacent to the main sportsbook. It's going
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to be a blast. Looking forward to it. Thanks to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: everybody who helped put this together. We will be there.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And again, like the... This is a sweet time of
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the year. Lots of sports to invest in. College games.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Thursday's the time to go, too. You just lay in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: your bets for it. One-stop shop. Get your college bets in.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: There's Thursday night college games.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Get your Saturday bets, your Sunday bets in, your Thursday
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: night bets in. The other thing is, I'm glad that
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Armin is going to be there too, because Armin is
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the one that's going to be investing with the people
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: as well. People are always going to be looking for
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: me and saying, Billy, what are you betting on better?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be the one potentially handing out
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: a bunch of losers. Armin Sarian hands out winners.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: He's got winners, winners, winners, baby. I do. I do.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Even if it's like a minus 500.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, it might be Sal Stewart to win the
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: National League Rookie of the Year.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: He might be off the board. You might bet $ 1, 000
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: to win five.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You get five bucks. Five bucks you didn't have before.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: It's on the ground. You're going to pick it up
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I'll be in there with you, and I'll get in
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: there and make some investments, and we'll find some good picks.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: It is going to be a blast. That kicks off
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: one week from tonight. On the 10th, we'll be telling
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you more about it. We'll be telling you about it
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: every day. But Pottawatomie Sportsbook is the place to be
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for the huddle live Thursday night. Thursday night live with
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: all of us hanging out at Potta with you. I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: hope that you can come and hang out with us.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: We already got some people asking us about the couches
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: that are hanging out.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Statman Steve's going to be there. All right. Statman Steve,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: look forward to seeing all of our smart and good-looking listeners.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Hunter Baumgart joins the party. We'll
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: talk to him about Brewers Cubs. And again, not much
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: at stake tonight, but it is a swing game. It's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: going to change the tenor of the games in Milwaukee
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: next week. Cubs fans just might decide to stay home.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: That is such a good deep country. I didn't even
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: think of that. Yep. Oh, it's like a sweet bed.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Tonight. It's going to be sweet. I can hear it. Listen,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: they're plummeting. They're plummeting. They're going down. They tickets are
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: going down because I.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Can hear the air coming out of the Cubs balloon
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: for division hopes.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Giddy up. Hunter is next year in the huddle. Fox
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: sports radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: We mentioned a big announcement.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: One week from today, we'll begin the huddle live at
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Pottawatomie Sportsbook. It's going to be every Thursday night, I think,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: from 5 to 7, leading into Thursday night football, leading
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: into some Brewers games. Speaking of the Brewers, joining us now,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: our Brewers go-to guy, our pal, Hunter Baumgart, the fourth. Hunter,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Thank you for your Logan Henderson interview.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Interesting insight on the kid who walks around barefoot.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's one of his traditions before each and every start,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: and not only on the road, but at home as well.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: But yeah, no problem. It was a good conversation. Enjoyed
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: it with Logan and he has been one of the surprises.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know if surprise is the right word, but
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I guess maybe unsung heroes, right? Jacob Mizorowski gets all
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: the headlines, but Logan Henderson has been nearly, maybe not
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: as good, but very consistent for the Milwaukee Birds, especially
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: as of late.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the Miz, he'd be one of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the talks of the league. He's overshadowed by his own guy.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: And he also, Hunter, comes in at a point where
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: earlier in the year, it was locked in Mizorowski-Harrison, who's
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: going to be the third. Now, for the last month
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: and a half, there's been a lot of questions as
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to who would be that last guy. Because Logan Henderson
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: has just implemented himself. He's right now locked in as
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: one of the playoff starters. The unsung, I think, is
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the right way of tagging it because at one point
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: he was a lottery ticket. It felt like when he
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: was on the aisle, he's come back stronger than ever
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: when they've really needed him because the rest of their
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: starting rotation has been a little bit spotty here with
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the youth that they've been showing.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Totally.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: He's probably been your most consistent starter over the last
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: month or so. I mean, going six plus innings, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: each of his starts in August and not allowing more
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: than three earned runs in a start in his career yet.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's just been incredibly consistent and, and the
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: numbers he is putting up are just are historic really.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: And he just continues to do so. So hopefully he's
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: able to do it tonight. I think one of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: more interesting and fascinating questions as we go down the
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: stretch is who will get that game to start because
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison, you know, obviously assuming they win the division,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: they have home field in the first round. Like if, if,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison has been way better at home than on
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: the road. Do you factor that it is the game
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: to starter or do you go with the guy who's
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: been your second best for the last few months? And
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: that's Logan Henderson. That's going to be a fascinating decision
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: that they'll have to make come October.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: These are what we call good problems. The best problems
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: to have. Yes. All right, Hunter.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Speaking of problems, Miz and the mound. Miz versus the mound.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: More important than the opponent is the mound. Are we
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: going to have to start worrying about this, about what
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: other teams are going to be doing, watering the front
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: of the apron where he strides, where few others go?
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought maybe him doing the bullpen on the
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: mound on Monday was going to help this time. Didn't
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: so much. I mean, that's another factor, right? You want
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: that guy starting at home where he's used to the
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: mound and where the grounds crew is used to the mound. Look,
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: it's nothing nefarious, I don't think, going on when it
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: comes to the road team's grounds crews. Brian Anderson was
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: talking yesterday about how the Wrigley Field grounds crew takes
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: pride in what they do. I do think that. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, they're different environments. They're
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: different built mounds. Every mound is a little different. And
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: the conditions... really, you know, obviously bear that out as well, right?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: In the American family field, if the roof is closed,
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a lot more controllable than if you're
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: at Wrigley field and it's hot and it's sweaty and
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: it's 90 degrees and everything like that. And there's, there's,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: it's humid, which means there's just moisture everywhere. So that's
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: going to be something that I, I don't know how
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: you necessarily fix it because there's no one way to
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: fix it because each mound is different. Uh, but hopefully
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: there is some sort of groove where, what that Miz
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: can get into as far as, okay, this is how
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: it's worked on other mounds. Can we maybe do that
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: at this mound? Now in the playoffs, our road, our
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: road grounds crew is going to be as, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: as helpful wanting to help Jacob Mizorowski as maybe the
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: American family field grounds crew. I don't know. And I'm not,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: you know, accusing any road grounds crew of that, but
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: it's different on the road.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't have to. I will because we're going
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to be honest about it. They're doing something. They're doing
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: something because you got to try to get some kind
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: of competitive advantage.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: And listen, if I'm a Chicago Cubs supporter, somebody in
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the front office, I'm directing them. I know you guys
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: take pride in your work. You know what you're going
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to take real pride in this guy having the shortest
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: start of his, of the season. And we wanted that
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: son of a gun down a little bit. It is
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: interesting though. When you see the temperament of Ms. Right
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: last year, I think it was Cincinnati was the first
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: place that this really flared up. And my man was lost.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Like he, he had almost come out of the game
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: because he wasn't going to be able to do it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Now you see him messing with it a couple of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: different times. I wonder if this is a good thing.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: If you spin it a little positively to deal with
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: some of this stuff now, and then know that you
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: can still get out. It's like the Mets game. You're
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: not going to be facing the Mets in the playoffs.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: He wasn't liking the landing spot or his mechanics in
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: his last start.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Now have this blow up happen.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's a good reset that can happen and it
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: might be the best time to have it because you
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: know that this is probably going to happen at some point,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: whether it's Dodger Stadium, Philly, Atlanta, what have you. Somebody
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: is going to do something to try to see if
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: they can throw him off his game. He's just too
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: damn good.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: For sure. And I think that, I think, like you said,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: having it happen now, learning through it, being able to
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: fight through it like he has, and a lot of
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: starts he's been able to fight through it and not,
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: you know, allow what he did last night in five
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: runs over four innings. Like he's been able to fight
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: through it and still keep the Brewers in a really
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: good position to win the baseball game. So that's, that's
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: been promising. And then last night it just unfortunately got
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: away and the control, you know, it was the mound somewhat,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: but also, you know, the, just the control wasn't necessarily there.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: The walks were up and he just wasn't able to
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: land his secondary stuff for a while there. until about
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: the fourth inning when he was able to get out
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: of that inning. And I think hopefully that fourth inning,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: getting out of that, and you saw the fist pump
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: and the emotion that we are used to seeing out
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: of Miz, you saw that, and I think hopefully that
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: can carry into his next start. But every bit of
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: experience that these guys can get, whether it's Miz with
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: the mound or Harrison going through what he did the
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: other night, that's what affords you. When you have a
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: nine-game lead with 22 games left and you have the
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: best record in baseball, you can almost look at it
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: and say, OK, maybe these experiences are going to help
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: them in October rather than, you know, every single game
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: has to be a win at this point. Like some
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: of the other teams, like the Cubs or Phillies or
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Padres or Diamondbacks are going through right now. Doesn't necessarily
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: you want, obviously, the Brewers to win every game. But
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: some of these other experiences could help them down the road,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: even if it doesn't result in a win.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Talking with Hunter Baumgart, our Brewers go to guy here. Hunter,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: is my logic flawed? Because I think if the Brewers
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: win tonight, it's going to change the atmosphere at American
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Family Field Labor Day, Tuesday, Wednesday. Cubs fans won't be
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: motivated to come up because they will have the life drained.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Out of them.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, first of all, I want to give a
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: shout out to all the Brewers fans that have went
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: down to Wrigley.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Field this week. How about that?
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: We got Jeff Passon shouting them out, which is fantastic,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: saying that, you know, what happened to Wrigley Field?
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: That was awesome.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: That can't happen.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Happens up here, too.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Every week. Yeah, every time.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So, uh, yeah, I agree. I mean, you take
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: three out of four at Wrigley field and oh man, it's,
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: it's like when they took three out of four at
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Dodger stadium. I mean, that would be kind of the
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: same thing, right? You go to a, you go to
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: an opponent, uh, you know, I Cubs are really good team,
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: but one of the things I think we're seeing right
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: now is their vulnerability, vulnerability on the pitching side. It's
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: just that, that is, that is serious for that team.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: And yes, they got Gosman at the deadline. We'll see
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: what he does again tonight. Not been great. Clay Holmes
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: has been better since being acquired at the deadline. Kind
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: of their two main deadline acquisitions on the pitching side.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: But Zephyr John hasn't been great out of the bullpen
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: as far as an acquisition. Their bullpen as a whole
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: hasn't been great. And that's their really Achilles heel. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: what the Brewers were able to do early in that
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: game is work Peterson last night and work him and
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: work him and work him and able to get him
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: out of there. You know, not only get to him,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: but then obviously get to the bullpen as well and
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: add some insurance runs. So you, you do that again
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: tonight against Gaussman, you know, one of their trade deadline acquisitions,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Logan Henderson goes out and dominates like he has in
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: the past. You get a win tonight. You take the
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: season series, you get a 10 game lead on the
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Chicago Cubs. Oh, I mean, I, we, I have, Just
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: thinking about how fun that would be. And let's see
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: if it can happen.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: 10 game lead with 21 to play. That's as good
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: as it gets. Cause you, you know, we're going to
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: beat him in the debate. Well, let's bury him. Let's
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: let's embarrass.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it's just going to, even if they
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: show up and they might've already bought the tickets and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: made their plans, especially for the Monday game, the labor
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: day game, like the last hurrah on their way. Like they,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: took the pier out in Lake Geneva or whatever, you know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: on their way down. And we had one last stop
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: over the lake houses and then on the way out,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: they might, but then, they're not going to be loud
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and obnoxious because they're going to realize that it'll be
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit of tail between their legs, but make
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: sure to buy beards and support, support the economy, support
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the economy.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe, maybe buy a.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Couple of sandwiches too, while you're at it, but they
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: definitely going to be a toned down one.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: It is a Hunter. What about Jojo Romero? A couple
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: of games.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Now we get to see him. That's a fresh live arm.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: It's clearly different than anybody else. It seems like they
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: have coming out of the bullpen just with his stuff,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the deception and, feels like again, or two appearances. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say the guy is going to
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: be the biggest game changer that they could have, but
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: to get a fresh arm, who's a legit major league,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: high leverage guy. That's something that a lot of teams
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: aren't able to acquire at this point.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: And it wasn't an injury to his arm that he
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: was out with. It was an appendectomy that obviously, you know,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: you don't want any sort of injury and that's not fun.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: And obviously he had to kind of make sure everything
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: healed right in the, in the abdomen area and everything
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: like that. But otherwise this is a, guy who you
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: know hasn't gone through the rigors of a bullpen major
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: league bullpen in a month and a half and that
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: and look he was pitching really well heading into uh
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: that when he went on the il i mean he
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: had six straight outings in july with without a run
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: scored and and he was pitching well got went on
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: the il and now he's pitching well out of it
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: and it's just a competitor it's a guy who's been
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: there done that been around knows the division you know
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: all those things. And he's like, I just told Murph, like, hey,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: as long as I'm not on the IL, I am
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: ready to pitch. Like, just put me wherever you want me,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: and I am ready. He was out in the bullpen
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: on Monday night, even though he wasn't active, getting ready,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: going through his stretches, going through his routine to make
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: sure he was all set, like, it sounds like he
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: is just, it seems like he's a great dude and
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: just a great competitor and wants to be a part
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: of what the Brewers are doing in that bullpen. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: it just adds another veteran guy who you look at
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: all the guys they used last night, whether it's Ashby,
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: it's Uribe, it's McGill, it's Sensatella, it's Romero. You use
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: all those guys and you feel good about all those
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: guys coming out. Now, obviously, You don't know what Jojo
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Romero will do over the next month. He's a little
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: more of an unknown because we haven't seen much, but
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: Sensatella has settled in. Pat Murphy has made a point
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: about talking about how, whether it be Dustin May or Sensatella,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: these guys take a little while to transition in and
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: feel comfortable with a new team, and he thinks that's
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: part of the reason why Dustin May has maybe struggled
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: over the last two. Dustin May is not going to
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: make excuses and wouldn't and said he feels good here
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: in Milwaukee, but it is true. And I wonder if
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Jojo Romero was then able to, okay, I got kind
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: of my transition period, get to know everybody before I
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: went out and pitched. And now, you know, I'm feel,
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: I already feel comfortable here. And now it's, I got
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: to just go do my thing. And that's what he's
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: done the last two nights. So you had another guy
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: like that out of the pen, a lefty boy that,
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: that would be just another, another great, you know, option
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: out of the bullpen for Pat Murphy in a bullpen
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: that is full of great options.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Hunter.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: One of the things people are, we're talking about and
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking about as the birds go into the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: playoffs is the inexperienced, the youth, the Laras and the Prats.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about how good those guys have been.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: And then there's the pitching side with Ms. And maybe
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Henderson guys that are getting near their, you know, their
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: personal threshold, their ceiling, they're breaking through their ceilings of
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: innings pitched and stuff. One of the guys that interests
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: me is Garrett Mitchell, because though he's been around.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: For a while, He's never played a full season. He
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: played more games this year than he did in his
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: previous big league seasons combined. Yeah. No kidding.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So guys like him, like granted, they sit him against
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: lefties a lot stuff, but you think that Murph is,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: we were already talking about the last couple of weeks
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: when they got the landing gear down a little bit.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: They're going to try to get one of the top
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: two records, but how do they manage that and keep
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: those guys fresh? And I mean, how do you, you
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: can't prevent Pratt or Lara from hitting the wall. We've
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: seen Churio perform in the playoffs before. You're not worried
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: about him. But I think of Mitchell especially.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: That's a good one, yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Because he's never played this deep into a season.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: No, and I think that's part of the reason why
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: you haven't seen him the last two nights. I know
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: a lot of people have been like, what's going on
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: with Garrett Mitchell? Well, you face two lefties. That's part
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: of it. But if you look at Garrett Mitchell's splits,
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: they're about even, lefty and righty. So it's not like
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: it's drastic either way. Yeah, totally. Those guys have done
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: a really good job hitting lefties.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Bauer's another one who's dinged up, and you need to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: kind of manage his innings and let him get a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: breather and get healthier, too. But how does that calculus work,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: do you think? Do they just keep doing what they're doing?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Is it, you know, you sit Pratt once in a while,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: even though he's hitting okay, or do you just roll
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: until they run out of gas? I don't know how
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you do it.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah, I think, I think we already see sometimes,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: you know, that Ortiz Hamilton left side of the infield
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: sometimes just to get proud of day. I think maybe
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: you see a little more of that. I think, you know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Pat Murphy did hint maybe a couple of weeks ago
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: or so that look, you know, we are going to
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: be cautious with Garrett Mitchell down the stretch because we
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: know that this is the most games he's played in
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: a season. And so I think you're starting to see that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: I think you saw it the last two nights. I
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: think you'll continue to see it because they do want
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: him as fresh as possible going into the postseason. You
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: also don't want to, not play him too much to
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: get him out of a rhythm and out of a
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: groove because he's been one of your, one of your
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: key contributors, really. I know he's gone through some stretches
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: where he hasn't hit as well as maybe he'd like,
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: but overall he's been a key contributor on offense. So
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: you don't want to set him too much, but I
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: do think they're going to be cautious of it. And
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: it sounds like from what Pat Murphy has said that
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: they are at least aware of it. So I think, yeah,
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: I think that that is the case. And you get
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Laura some more playing time. I think it's key to
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: get Laura these experiences at Wrigley Field and some of
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: these different environments. It's not like, you know, that Philly,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: maybe the last week of the season, you get some
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: of these young guys, you know, into that environment as well,
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: depending on what Philly is trying to do, if they're
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: fighting for the NL East or wildcard at that time.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: You know, otherwise, hey, American Family Field next week when
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: the Cubs come into town, that'll be Laura's first taste
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: of that. Pratt had a little taste of that in
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: late June. but he was just getting used to the
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: big leagues. And he said, you know, Pratt said that,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: you know, nothing, it didn't really slow down for him
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: until the series after the Cubs series, the red series
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: in early July. But yeah, I do think you're going
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: to see some of that management last night. They put
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: in Freelick and right field Bowers goes to first base because,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: you know, he, he's still the, you know, the, the
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: shins are an issue or, you know, this, the different
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: ways he is banged up. So he's over the first,
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: then halfway through the game. And that's what the, that's
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: what this, Roster construction allows the brewers to do and
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: allows Pat Murphy to do right. You have a really
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: solid bench right now where you can play lefty righty
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: and bring Christian Yelich in halfway through the game and
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: bring Sal Freelick in halfway through the game when the
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: lefty is exited. And look, it definitely worked last night
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: with Christian Yelich going two for three after he came
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: into the ball game. So I think that is what
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: you are going to see in some of those mixing
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: and matching that Pat Murphy can do with this roster.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Hunter, you did such a good job bringing smiles and
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: joy to Brewers fans.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Can I do that for you really quick?
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: All right. This one comes.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Bree, and the Brewers secretly ruined
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: my life single-handedly.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I am not well.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: The next one, the Brewers are the worst in all
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: capital letters. And this latest from Bree DeLeo, ignore the score.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: And look at me. I just, I figured, I figured
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: that would bring you some, some positivity and a smile there.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Just look at me. Like, look at me. Good stuff.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Good stuff. Just look at me. Don't worry about it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Don't look at the scoreboard and the Brewers dunking all
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: over you at Wrigley field.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Hunter.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. You have a, well, baseball pregame
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: show tonight.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: You bet.

• 37:40
  Speaker 2: This is one that you got to see the video
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: to believe, courtesy of ABC News and the New York Post.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: You can see it.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I just retweeted the video at Bill Schmidt Radio. Now,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: in London, they call the subway system the tube system.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys are familiar. They call
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: it the tube system.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Well, folks at the tube station were treated to an
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: impromptu fight night, not between the normal, potentially homeless people
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: that were fighting at the tube station. No match was
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: a real squeaker. Things got a little hairy as two
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: mice were spotted sparring like boxers on their hind legs,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: cracking up and creeping out commuters. Now, again, you're not
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: going to believe this unless you see it. These two
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: mice are standing right on basically the platform where you're
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: going to get into the subway and up on their
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: hind legs. legit just throwing blows, throwing a haymakers at
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: each other until finally one of them goes.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Down and is done. So knocked out unless he gets
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: back up and he chases them right back to it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, they go for a good, this video is
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: a good minute long and it looks like the one,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: one die is just playing dead. He falls backwards, waits
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: to try to bait him in and then chases him
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: right off.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: What are they fighting over?
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: What all good animals fight over some kind of four
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: day old looks like piece of gum that they might
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: be trying to eat.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Listen, that's like the final boss, the sewer rat or
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: the subway mouse, the subway rat, whatever it is.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: You don't get down there, Billy, by backing down. Hulu pipsqueaks.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And they got into a sparring session that I'm going
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. Didn't get interrupted by any
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Mario Lopez pre-fight work.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Oh my way better than any Jake Paul fight.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: So if Netflix is looking on how to be able
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: to monetize, boxing and live sports, they need to get
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: to a damn tube station, find more rats, pardon me.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Mice like this. I don't want, I don't want to
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: categorize them like that.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Mice like this with this kind of dog mentality.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: You're going to find some good entertainment. It's wild.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: These things are just growing absolute haymakers at each other.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Some feisty furballs.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Share that on the socials. Oh, my goodness. All right.
• 39:53
