  Speaker 1: Who's ready to have a great thursday raise your hands
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: let's go oh the hands are shooting up all over
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the good land for the early risers insomniacs and sociopaths
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: who are awake and members of the five o'clock club
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: in the huddle fox sports radio wisconsin's drew olson bill
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: schmidt armin sarian uh lather rinse repeat brewers nine cubs
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: five At the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, the lead
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers in the National League Central is a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: season high. Nine games as we wake up this morning.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Man, Drew, a season high after a season worst for
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: your best guy in MVP is a heck of a
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: way for a team win to come about.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Once that game went to the bullpen, though.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Once that game was in the bullpens, felt pretty confident because.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Bullpen is a full landmines, isn't it? Oh my goodness.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And Palencia, who's maybe been the best one for, for
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a while out of all of them, they tag twice
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in back-to-back days, just a massive game. And one where,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you know, you were going to see a mortal Mizorowski
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: start at some particular point in time. It felt like
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: he was trending that way after the, the Mets mound issues,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: but Last night, and listening to Lev call it right
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: out of the gates, he had said it, and he's
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: messing with the mound already. I think it was like
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: five pitches in. And Jacob Mizorowski is going to go
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to that mound landing area again. And you could just
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: tell the mechanics were off all night.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: He threw his.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Bullpen, which is rare, on the game mound.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that took a step towards it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Watch for that to become more of a trend, too.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Guys will start doing that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Henderson does the does the barefoot thing going out to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the mound. They had shown a couple of different times.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: He will be doing that today.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And as a treat for our smart, good looking listeners,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the Brewers did not in last night's victory as fulfilling
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: as it was. They neither had a triple nor a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: triple play. But on this show, the huddle today, you'll
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: get a triple dose of Hunter Baumgart. We had his
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: recap and interview with Logan Henderson that will play. Well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and A visit from Hunter Baumgart himself at 730. A
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: triple dose of HB4 today.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And you could even say that it's almost a grand
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: slam of Hunter Baumgart HB4 because he was providing our
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: update before.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He dropped a bar that had Armin Sarian over on
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the other side of the glass throwing the hands.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Up in the air. That was amazing. Hey, Milwaukee, what
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: do you say? You have a nine game lead today?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, something like that. Whatever it is, I have
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: to do that. That's a good hat tip. I do
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: have to do a little bit of a correction. He's
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: given us the Logan Henderson one-on-one. We did get the update.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Because of that, he's not going to file a report.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I talked to him a little bit because he wanted
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: to leave the room for the Logan Henderson. So we'll
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: still get a triple dose. We're not going to get there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: We don't need the report. We know what happened last night.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: We know what happened. We know the way the Brewers dominated.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We know they came back again. Again.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Against the Cubs, although they did it right. They got
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a lead early, and then Miz couldn't hold it, which
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was surprising. But they overcame a rocky start by Miz.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And now the math is the math. If you still
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: want to freak out about the division, feel free.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on. Now it's a matter of when.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Do we need the plastic on the lockers? Because, again,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: as I've said a gajillion times, it's 22 games left.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The Brewers need to go 11-11, and what would the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Cubs have to do in that circumstance?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: 20-2.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: 500, and you win the division game. by a lot,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: by comfort, by a comfortable margin. And, and probably still
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in the final week, you're able to line up your
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: starters for the post season when you still should be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: able to be sitting with a buy. And if anything,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I think guys, this is more of a demoralizing feeling
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: for Chicago. When you wake up today now, absolutely. So
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: on Monday, it's a, it's a down in the dumps Monday.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: It's a tough vibe. When you give up two touchdowns
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in a field goal in any game, especially in One
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that gets away from you as quickly as that one
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: did when it was a 9-0 in the fourth inning.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But the last two nights, the Cubs with just a
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: little bit of a taste of optimism and twinkle in
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: their eye of dreaming that they could win the NL
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Central and maybe get themselves one of those buys. Man,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: now reality has hit them like a big... ice bucket challenge, dumping.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Dumping right back to reality of wait, we're in a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: wild card race and the Phillies aren't going anywhere. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: now all of a sudden we're staring down the barrel of,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we want to stay at home for the, that three
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: game series or potentially out of LA or Atlanta. It's a,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's a sobering reality, especially because it was the worst Ms.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Start of the year.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And you still won with the, the law firm of McGill, Ashby, Uribe,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: right at the back end. Add in Jojo Romero, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a very, very nice quartet to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: be able to throw at teams and shorten that game
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: up to the sixth.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Brewers use six total arms. Cubs use seven. Of course,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: their last one was kind of an emergency situation because
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yelich did a good job. Yelich's last hit was sort
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of like that guy at the carnival where you try
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and hit it perfectly. You try and aim it. You
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: try and knock that, you know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: And after your 15th rebound, you just throw it off
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the card and see if it bounces in.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And it worked for him, but, uh, So they
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: had to use Colin Ray at the end there. Shout
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: out Pipe Bomb. But I think, you know, you can
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: now start thinking as a Brewer fan, like, all right, obviously,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you know, you've stretched this thing out to nine. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: division's over. You've done that work.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Can you start to maybe try and plant seeds of
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: doubt in the Cubs? Can you use these games to
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: try and push them down back in the hole a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: little bit and send them into a tailspin? I think
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that's a tall order, Drew, just because. I know. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: wildcard situation, but the home situation. Yes and no. Because
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the Padres and Diamondbacks have to put the paddles to their... Well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and Miami's only two back now of the last wildcard
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: spot in the lost column. So they're still trying to
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: make noise. So it's not that it's impossible. It's very,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: very unlikely. But the thing is, you're right. You can
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: try and get them out of a home series and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: more importantly, get them feeling very bad about themselves heading
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: into October. So let's make that the goal now. Let's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: have high lofty goals here and really Really punish our
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: enemy here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: The Cubs. Speaking of those Marlins, the Cubs play them
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: head-to-head in Miami this weekend.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Interesting games. Not a good time to be catching them.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And then the Cubs have the Braves, and that's not
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: going to be easy.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: That's no walk in the park, especially because Atlanta's heated
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: back up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So after coming to Milwaukee, the Cubs face the Pirates
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and Braves at home, and then they go to Cincinnati,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and they have six games against the Marlins.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Hello. Hello.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. And they finish with three against the Red Sox.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So Marlins are.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Playing a lot of the teams kind of involved. It's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: kind of interesting schedule. We already talked about the reds
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: kind of round robin with the Brewers and the Cubs. So, yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: very interesting. But that's why it's nice to get that win,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: especially after dropping the first one, you get the last two.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And love to see this team pick up Miz. How
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: many times has Miz picked up the Brewers? Yeah, that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: very true. Picked up the offense. Love to see these
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: guys pick up Miz. It took 26 starts for him
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to give up more than three runs. That's pretty good.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Pretty good.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is a good season.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So eight, seven, seven, seven, nine, four, one 97, three
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: gets you into the Nicolet law.com talking text line. We
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: don't have like a buyer sell feature today. We're not
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: taking hot takes. We're not giving game balls and kicks
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to the balls, but if you just want to weigh in,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: just having downright, you just want to dump your bucket
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on like, you know.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Which I like, cause it was, I think this is
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: just a cold bucket of water right onto the lofty
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: expectations for Cubs fans that they were going to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: able to run this thing down with a, with a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: miraculous September to remember.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And instead, I mean, what have four and six in
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: their last 10.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And now again, they're, they're still putting up a crazy
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: amount of runs and momentum's only as good as your
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: next day starting pitcher, but let's toss Logan Henderson today
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and really throw a dagger into their dream.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe Logan Henderson won't be pissed at the mound all
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: day and be able to, you know, find his delivery
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and stuff. But, A win today would be chef's kiss
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: on a great week. In my mind, you wanted to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: get at least a split here.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Yep, I'm with you on that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So you're leaving no worse than you came in, right?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Didn't they enter the series with an eight-game lead? So
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: if you get a split and be at eight games,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you held serve.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: We'll take it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: For the last uh week and a half month you
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: know as this thing has been circled we just said
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: just go 500 through it and finish it go win
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: three of four and you win the season series they
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: can win the season series today not necessarily expecting it
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: would love to it would be phenomenal but then you
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: get three opportunities at home to be able to splice
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that day you need to win one of the.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Next four to have the season series and that removes
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all doubt but it's not a lot of.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Doubt I was going to say the very, very small
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: little shreds of doubt. You're looking through this needle in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the haystack for that one. And then let's just, you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: focus on Miz a little bit. You don't want to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: schemes like drop off in October for sure.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But you want you want Miz feeling good about himself.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: All it'll take probably is a home start against Cubs
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: next week. He'll probably get more ramped up because he'll
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: like the mound more. But the idea that any series
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you start, you probably have Miz in game one. You know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's like at home. that's pretty, you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Know, it'll, it'll be comfortable for him. He'll know exactly
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: where he's going to go.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Would you be tempted to try to skip him or
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: something or, or try to ease up any bit of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the workload going into October for him?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They're going to, they're going to be able to do
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: what they want.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: They're going to have that, that luxury. So yeah, I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: think that however they want to do it, they kind
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of were doing it for a while with his shorter starts,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but then when you take some 90 pitches to get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: through four innings, know yeah 100 last night shortest so
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he kind of what i mean my plan last night
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: was probably an extreme example it was just he scuffled
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you're right and it was like you're right you're due
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: for one of those.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Control but it was very humid as well.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Control humidity i think caught that one ball that would
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: have helped yeah um you know the the illegality of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: spider tack or whatever the guys need that stuff. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was going to say, yeah, there's only so much rosin
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and sunscreen you were throwing on last night. That was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: going to give you a whole lot of grip. We've
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: seen that a lot in this series because it's ridiculously
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: humid out. But hey, it is what it is. And again,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Brewers are in great shape. So now it's just keep
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: everybody healthy, keep everybody rolling. Yellich enters the game for
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Gary as a pinch hitter and ends up getting a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: couple of hits. Is he finally back to being hot,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: can we say?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: The number's been good.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He's trending hot, but it doesn't feel quite hot yet.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: He's not carry the team hot, but he's contributing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Big time.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Well, anything was going to be hotter than the hot
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: plate being put into the back of the cabinet and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: forgetting that you even had it to be able to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: heat up the water and get that thing boiling.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, over the last, what, 15 days?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You look at his splits the last 15 days, he's
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: hitting almost 350. So, like, being able to just get
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: a glimpse of this. Because if you get this kind
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of yell at you into the postseason, watch out. You
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: haven't had that. And, frankly, I mean, he hasn't been
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: able to play in some of them due to injury.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: And hasn't had a real hot one since parts of 18. So, like,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: if that's the guy you get, phenomenal. Back half of August,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it was a lot better. And now I think you
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: can safely say that at least the confidence is back. Like,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it looks like when he's swinging the bat, he doesn't
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: anticipate it to be a 4-3 rollover.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: And it definitely looks better. I mean, I would say,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: at least just from the naked eye, we know the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: fraught risks of the eye test. However, it sure looks
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: like he's seeing the play better. He's making hard contact.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's made plenty of hard contact into gloves. Well,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: he found two, basically, well, a glove and a body
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and still got two hits out of it. It's just
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: if you hit it hard enough, eventually you'll get those
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: things to work. And last night it did again. Like
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Billy mentioned, the splits have been really good the last
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: couple weeks. His OPS and average have jumped up 30 points,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I think, in the last couple. He's registering a positive
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: war now, which is a positive thing. All those things
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: in general help. I think the reality is he's been
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: a platoon player kind of– You know, if you really
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: watch it, except for the other night when he started
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: against the lefty, when he hit the homer, you know,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: he's been only batting against righties, which is fine. If
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: that's the what puts him in the best position to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: win the Brewers. That's what matters.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: That's Bowers has been playing against lefties and hitting pretty well, too.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: He's dinged up.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So there's a guy that you can protect a little bit.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: That would be a good one to give a week
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: or so to. My man seems like he's got four injuries. Yeah,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: give him a couple days to let things quiet down.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Well, he doesn't want this party to end. He's got
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: a heck of a year.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have, like I said, so they're
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: going to have this luxury of playing guys when they
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: want and pitching guys and lining stuff up and getting
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the guys their work. So it's as good as that's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: what you work for. That's why you have this lead.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: That's exactly it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: They're going to be in a situation, man, people, whether, well,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: they should win 100 or should they win 100, whatever
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: they do, that there's going to be a situation where
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: there just isn't a lot of pressure on games and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that can be good and bad, right?
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: They can be very good. Put the pedal down. Let's win.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And maybe he will push them to win a hundred
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: just to keep that carrot in front of them and stuff.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but you're going to have the luxury of,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it's going to feel like the last week of spring
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: training when, okay, we're going to line everybody up and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we got, we want to go into our, We want
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to go into that series with a rested bullpen. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: then it becomes, what do we do in those couple days?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to do a little inter-squad game. They've been
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: here before, so it's not uncharted.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: That's really a good point. At least they've got the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: experience of it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I think when you played, what did
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: they score, five runs.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: In game one? Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Last year in the DS, I think it worked early
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: keeping themselves fresh.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think they did anything wrong that way.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It's a heck of a balancing act, Drew, because there's
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: at least they are still in the race for the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: one seed and the kind of keep you going that way,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: but it'll keep you going instead of in the middle
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: of September where you're looking here saying, all right, we
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: got two and a half weeks of games left. We're
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: playing the Orioles who are out of it. And now
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: we got to ramp ourselves back up. They're going to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: stay in the chase mode until probably that last week.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Then you can give yourself a full chance to just
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: get a runway and get yourself lathered up and ready
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to roll.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: You want to throw him is for like three innings
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in his last start. Go ahead.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: And I was going to say, yeah, I definitely think
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: there's one of those probably coming.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. There's that whole thing we get to this year.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And it's a good problem to have a luxury when
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you get, like you said, this whole thing this year about, okay,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: when you had the big lead, do you want to
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: stay hot? Do you want to rest? It's always that,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: you know, that kind of decision that kind of back
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: and forth. I think it's, it's important to get certain
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: guys rest. The nice thing is I think once you
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: get that, that first round by, I think once you
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: get that clinch, cause you can tell your guys, Hey,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: you want your break. We'll get our buy, get the buy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And that's our three day break. That's our four day break.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: That's huge. But getting certain pictures rest, if they need
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: it is going to be huge. I mean, you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: you want these guys primed as much as we can
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: for the playoffs. Don't know if that's the issue with
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Harrison and Ms. These starts, if they're hitting the wall,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I know, Billy, you've talked about the possibility of that, too.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I think it's possible, but I don't think a rest
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: ever hurts. They are 24 years old. That part of
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: it is a really tough deal. It's a big jump
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: in workload. You remember going in the playoffs last year,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Miz was a huge question mark. Big time. Because he
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: had started off so well, but then... The effectiveness kind
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: of waned. So some people were thinking, do you even
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: put him on the playoff roster? Obviously, they did. And obviously,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: he became one of their most consistent pitchers in the
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: playoffs because of that live arm. You're never going to
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: give up on it. So it's one of those things where, yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you get a little rest for these guys. You think
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: when the dew point drops and it's cooler, all those
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: things should go to help. And at least you give
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: yourself that luxury once you clinch a bye. So I
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: think it's good to give these guys rest. Can I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: give you one shout out for the use of the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: word fraught? Fraught, baby. At 5.13 in the morning.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Fraught.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: An adjective that means filled with something bad or causing
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: extreme worry, tension, or stress. I think there are a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: lot of people that felt like Christian Yelich at bats
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: were fraught.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Fraught with concern.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: That's incredible use at 5.13 in the morning. Was that
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: on the word of the day calendar? I'm dumping the bag, Earl.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I'm using my challenges earlier.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He's using that to... Hanging out that Marquette shingle for us.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: He's not leaving them in the bag, though.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not leaving them in the bag. I like that.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Put it out on the table and let them see it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Why not?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: All right, check in with us. 877-794-1973 gets you in.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: So we got Hunter all over the program today.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: We do. Updates. So you know it's going to be
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: a good show.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Logan Henderson interview that we will play in just about
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes for you.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: He's excited for this one. It's a six-minute masterpiece.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: One-on-one exclusive.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And Logan Henderson's pitching tonight.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from the man who's taking them out tonight
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: as the Brewers try to win the series. Not just
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: split the series, but win the series. Anybody check on
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Brie DeLeo yet? That's a good question. Let me check out.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: What about that guy who watches Cubs games and screams
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: at his TV? I did watch a little bit of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: M-Bone last night on TikTok Live. That's an entertaining watch, dude.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the montage. That is an entertaining watch.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, you do miss pitch by pitch.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: There is a close freakout on every single one.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I had to take the Apple Watch off because I
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: was laughing so hard. It was like, hey, man, you're
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: going to hurt yourself right now.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Shades of when we used to have Armin on Twitch
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: watching Packer games.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Armin and that guy need to meet.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Because they're a lot closer kindred souls, I think, than
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he would like to be.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I probably am more of a kindred, yeah. You would
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: like him, Bone, I think. Than Bree farming the content. However,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I got to say, there's like a little delay, right?
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: So you know you have to be ready for something
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: when the play happens. Like, that was the best part.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I think for some people of the, of the mic'd
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: up thing or something like that is you see the
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: play first. So you're like, Oh, something big's about to
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: happen from this guy. He's about to react. And then
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you see it. So I don't know if that's how
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: it is a Billy. Cause I didn't ever watch it live,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: but that'd be pretty fun.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: That was my first taste. And I'm telling you, they
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs. That is how I will be watching.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That's how you're going to watch. I will definitely have
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: that out for you.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Second screen. Well, what he's selling is working. You got
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: to give him credit. Maybe they should let him cameo
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: in nine innings to love. So I mean, or cameo
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: like a Dejan love was trying to do. He said
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: he only need a quick 5,000. Yeah, that's right. That's all.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Some of my teammates are already on it. They're already
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: on it. It's all good. Man, there are more Dejan
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: videos and DMs coming out.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: What would a, I mean, what would a Brock Purdy
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: cameo go for? Not five grand. Not even close. Maybe 200.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I'll check it out now.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know what's the most expensive cameo,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: but that's funny.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: All right. When we come back.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Rock's a very affordable one. Sorry, I didn't mean it. Rock,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: very affordable. 25, 30 bucks.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Good one.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And he put some good work into it. Lev gives
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: all his out to the charity.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: So he's, you know.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: And Lev does a lot of, it is still close
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: to fantasy football time. He was doing drafts. He was
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: doing draft orders. So if you were wanting that, go
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and check that thing out.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Amazing.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Cameo, Brock Purdy. I can't find it here. Book a
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: business video. That's the only one you can get. 10 grand. Oh,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: my gosh.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Well, all right. Is that because they don't want these
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: guys to say anything bad anymore? Yeah, I guess. Tell
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: your racist stuff. Yeah, yeah. Tell your buddy that lost
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: his fancy football. He sucks. And now something.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Murph had a comment yesterday that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I thought was very interesting. And it was he's had
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: basically every day. He says something very interesting. But yesterday,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: even more so, we will discuss that. Hit us up
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: with your thoughts. It's a good day to just relax
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Everybody can exhale. Brewers beat the Cubs again.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: All is right with the world.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: You're in the huddle.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Vaughn up the middle. Ground ball through. Here comes Churio.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: He'll score the tying run. Andrew Vaughn. Plutch. RBI single.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: And we're all tied at five in the fourth inning.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and run at second base. Contreras into right center.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Base hit.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Tarang around third.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: He'll score easily.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Throw comes into third. And Wild Bill puts the Brewers
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: in front once again.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: It's an RBI single.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, sweet montage from Brewers TV. Armin Sarian on the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: ones and twos this morning in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. Everywhere in the iHeartUp. Streaming live, Facebook, X,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and YouTube. All right, so Pat Murphy is a beat
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: writer's best friend. Great quotes, generally speaking, you know, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he fills the notebook. But yesterday he said something pregame
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that caught my attention regarding Jackson Turio.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I know where this is going. He said, you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Churio was a little amped the other night when he
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: got thrown out trying to steal third. He's been a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: little amped. And Murph said, quote, no one knows it
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: quicker than Jack-Jack. He knows when he messes up. Jack-Jack's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: like a young Kobe Bryant when he forced shots.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: It's going to happen. But careful.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: That guy settles in and kind of knows how to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: play at a certain temperature. Last night he was playing
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a bit hot. You just saw it. So I could
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: tell you little things where you saw it. In his takes,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and he was just running a little hot, he turns
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: it down a little bit and gets in that right mode. Yeah,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: look out.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: And look out last night.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: A young Kobe Bryant. I know Murph is a big
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Kobe guy. Murph has his Muhammad Ali, Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got definite favorites. His poster's on the wall.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But to compare him to a Kobe Bryant is fascinating
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to me on a number of levels. Because I don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: think We see Churio, and it seems like he's been
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: here forever. And it seems like he's a baseline. And like, okay, well,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: he's going to be 2020 and hit 270 or 265.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Just expect good numbers every year, basically. I think we're
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: just scratching the surface. I think he's going to continue
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to get better and better. And it's like, I think
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: he could be a 40-40 guy.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: He could very much be having a season. I don't
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: know defensively he's going to do it, but I think
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: he could have very much the same offensive season that
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: PCA is having right now.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: He could. Right, like at some point.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Just be that guy where you're knocking on 40 homes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He's got potential, absolutely, to do that. Yeah, to be 22, like,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: come on. Give him a couple years of, like, just
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: continued development. And like Murph said, as he figures it
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: out and he plays at the right temperature.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Because he was the temperature thing is a good point
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: because you could tell he was feeling himself a couple
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: of different. Well, we had we had the thing where
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: we had the near collision with the three car pile up.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: We had the ball that he in the first.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Night when he and Mitchell kind of like gotten each
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: other right there a little bit stuff like that. You know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: he's playing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: He's playing it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Armin energy.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: You know how caffeinated Armin is?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing with Armin energy.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And maybe it'll be just a more relaxed, let the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: game come to you, just be yourself kind of thing.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I can't get enough of his confidence right now in
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the batter's box. His takes, the way Merv was saying that,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the nods that he hits every single time. Last night,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: he was so mad at himself that he missed that
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: sweeper that was middle-middle.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But the other part of it is the other night,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: he grounded out and beat out an infield hit. and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: his time to first was blistering, one of the fastest
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of the year from home to first, like a right-handed batter.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: It was just four seconds even or something.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: He has all those tools.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And the feet per second, it was like 31. It
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: was just ridiculous.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Miles per hour, all those tools he has.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: They do that feet per second thing. So his sprint,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and you forget that, how incredibly fast he is. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: then he gets thrown out trying to steal third, which
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: was not a great look, but... that was part of
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: what Murph was saying. He's got to play at the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: right temperature.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: He's running a little hot.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: He shouldn't be trying to steal.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: With his aggressiveness, he's going to take just about any
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: opportunity to take a big swing like that. Lev had
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: said it either last night or the night before, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: it does put it into perspective. The guys that are
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: all in the midst of the rookie of the year
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: balloting in the National League, Jackson Turio is.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Younger than all of them.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Like, I mean, that's a crazy thing. And he's into
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: year three of his eight year contract. He's also missed
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: a month of each of the last two years. And
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: last year was not himself going into the playoffs. The production,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't have noticed the way he swung the bat.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't have known in that Cub series. And he
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: just he's got a hell of a feel and a
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: knack for the moment where the Kobe comparison feels even better.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: This thing, you know, if you spend a lot of
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: time looking at baseball reference like I do. OK, you
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: look at it's very interesting. Yeah, it's just fun. But like,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: it's very interesting to look at players careers and everyone,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: you know, seems to have different career arcs. Right. You know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: not they're not all create equal. You have some players
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: that are great players that are consistently good for years.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: You have some that are consistently great for years. and
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: then you have some that have the peak years and
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: they aren't as good as the rest, like the Chris
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Bryans of the world and stuff like that. PCA has
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: having an incredible year, obviously, and kind of having a
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: peak-type year early, but Churrio could be one of those
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: guys where those peak years are still coming years away,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: but his floor is so good. He's got exactly 21
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: homers every year. Okay. Incredibly consistent right now. He could
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: still get more this year. This is the best batting
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: average and the best OPS of his career, but it
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: was two 75, seven 91, two 77. So it's like,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: if this is his floor where he's still emerging into
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: a level of greatness, that's what his real talent is
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: to me is obviously one day, maybe getting the top
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: end years, the MVP years, but yeah, It's almost like
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: you look at Hank Aaron's kind of career. Like he
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: never went below a certain threshold and that's what made
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: him great was the consistency of performance. And Jackson is
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: basically putting that type of career together early on where.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: We might not have seen the top five MVP year yet,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: and maybe that's coming, but think about Robin. He came
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: up early, just like Jackson did, and he had three
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: or four years that were good but not amazing, and
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: then by his eighth year was his 10-war MVP year,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: and then more to come, obviously. Your best five-year stretch
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: surrounds that age 27 year.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: So 26, 27, 28, 29, and then either side of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that a year, give or take. That's the peak years.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: He's not even close to that yet.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Not even close.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Not even close to that. So what does he look
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: like as he builds towards that? Cause I think he's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: going to eventually, he's going to go from being a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: 2020 guy to a 30, 30 guy to maybe a 40,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: 40 guy and put up what the PCA is doing
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and stuff.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: And defense is good enough.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Not great, but good enough, good enough, especially in left
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: field and just let them go. And, but man, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a team leader. He's going to be,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you know, the older he gets, like he's, He's the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: real deal, man. They did not screw up by giving
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: him an eight-year deal.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: No, and the way Murph talks about him, you can
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: definitely tell, as Murph cares so much about the heartbeat
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and the tick and what kind of guy you have,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: he definitely has the confidence, but also the.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: reverence of the game.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And I think kind of the respect on, on the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: other side of like, that's, that's the kind of competitor
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: that you need to have.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: He's going to be able to do it in between
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: the lines, but he also is going to have a
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: healthy respect for what the other guy's doing. He's also
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: right now tied for the franchise record and post-season.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Home runs already. That's amazing.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. As in his age, 20 and 21 years, like
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that's a ridiculous number in 12 playoff games.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Andrew Jones came up as a 20 year old, 19,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: 20 year old. And, Boom, was hitting home runs in
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the World Series. That was a pretty good sign that
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: he was going to be a good player when you
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: got that kind of huevos.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Hold on, really? And as we talk about power in
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: the playoffs and how important it is and how hard
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: it is sometimes to get, if that's one of his
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: biggest values, Billy, is like you said, postseason homers. I mean,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: you can really set a legacy just doing that, especially
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: when they're More and more of the conversation is surrounded
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: about needing home runs in the postseason.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Three-way tie. He's tied with one other two all-time Brewers.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Only one of them is an all-timer.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Because the Brewers didn't play a lot of playoff games
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: for Robin and Paul and those guys.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Not a lot, no.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Neither of them.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Paul Molitor is second with three.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Well, Yelich has at least two. It is not Yelich.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Ben Ogilvie has two. I think. Is it Ben Ogilvie?
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It is not Ben Ogilvie.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, okay.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: All recent Brewers. All recent guys, right? That's kind of
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: how this goes. That's how this goes.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Prince.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: That's Prince.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Prince with four, and the other one is the toughest one.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Orlando Arcia.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, baby. No way. I love baseball.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Orlando Arcia with four playoff bombs and 15 playoff games
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Love it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Do you remember any of them? That's the amazing. Not really.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: No.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I remember his four-hit day in game 163. He had
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: four postseason homers. I love baseball. Here's a text from
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Steve again.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: 877-794-1973. Nicoletlaw.com. Talk and text line. Should the Brewers re-sign
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Jack Jack right now? I know he's got a lot
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of years left, but if we could lock him up
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: for another five years after this contract, it would be great.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, throw it in front of him.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Steve, let's go. Come on.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: It's not going to happen. Let's be serious.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Eight years is plenty. I mean, there might be an
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: injury in there. I think we get the option years, too.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I think it turns out to be almost 10. I'm
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: not against the idea. I mean, if you can do it,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are laughing about it. That's a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: little silly.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Well, he wouldn't do it, I don't think.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: No, that's a little silly.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: But this is why you make the deal. That's why
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: you make the deal.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: You make this deal to buy out stuff, and then
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about it.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I'm happy where we're at. This is why you buy
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: the insurance, Armin. Freddy Peralta's pitching great at a low price.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: We should give him more money. Like, why? No, we should.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: We got one right. He gave him that money.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: As Sal Bando told me when he was at Brewers Jam,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he was like, it's not like they give us money
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: back when they have a bad year.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I get it. I'm waiting for that one to happen.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And everybody's like, hey, you should give that guy a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: raise and lock him up.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, well, they don't give us money back. I
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: get it. But if someone told me Tomorrow morning, hey,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: by the way, the Brewers added two years on. I'm
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: not going to be unhappy about it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Well, then if you thought it was an eight-year deal,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: they just added two more years onto it because they
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: have two club options.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: The club options, I know.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: $ 25 million. So basically a 10-year deal.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: So let's not worry about that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: More immediately, it's like people, as you think about it,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: as you're trying to find stuff to occupy your time
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and not worry about playoffs and playoff positioning and what's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: going to happen in October, you think, okay, well, Are
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: they going to ride it out with Contreras the way
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they did Adamas?
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Let's play fantasy franchise. They're going to do that.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: With Tarang and ride out with him and then let
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: him just walk and take the draft pick because you've
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: got the replacement.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Waiting in the wings. I'd give all of our money
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: to Tarang. How do you do it? I mean, what
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: do you do?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: You'd give all the money to Tarang when the number
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: one prospect in baseball is waiting to come up and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: get one of those 10-year, $ 80 million deals and play
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: at a level. I'm happy about that, but Tarang's a
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: bird in the hand right now.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: He is.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I would take all of our money. He also has
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of value.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: And if you were to trade Durang preemptively, you could
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: get a lot.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Of stuff back. You could get a ton. A lot
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: of pitching back.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Could you sign Contreras for almost half of the total
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: money and then still make that deal?
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: And then trade Durang? I'm not mad about that. I mean,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: it's an asset definitely to use. Yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about all these two weeks after they win
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: the title, like Armand did when P.J.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Tucker's contract signed.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to hear from the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: guy who's pitching, and he's going to be walking around
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: barefoot at Wrigley.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I love this dude. What a Texan.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Hunter Baumgart interviewed Logan Henderson. We will spin through that
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: when we return. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and Armand bringing it to you. Huddled up on a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Thursday in the good land. It's a good Thursday. Brewers
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: beat the Cubs. They go for the series win tonight.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Logan Henderson on the mound for Milwaukee at the friendly confines.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: As it happens, our own Hunter Baumgart caught up with
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Logan Henderson before they left for Chicago. We're going to
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: listen to that conversation right now to get you ready
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: for Logan Henderson's start.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Take it away, Hunter.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: Logan, first question for you. We're about a month left
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: here in the regular season. How are you feeling overall
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: as we approach September?
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, feeling good. I can't complain. Just gearing up for
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: the next start.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: When you are going between starts, what's kind of your
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: main goal as you go in the five, six days
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: between starts each and every time?
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, main goal is to get back to the best
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: physical form I can and obviously mentally too, but just
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: giving myself the best opportunity to feel good mechanically and
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: physically going into the next start and that's definitely the
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: main purpose.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: When you are on the mound you've last month or
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: so faced some teams that are in contention pitched long
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: deep into games how have you felt you have been
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: able to keep your poise the most on the mound
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: when maybe something doesn't go right or maybe you have
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: some runners on base how do you feel mentally you're
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: able to.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Do that yeah I mean I think preparation but also
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: experience just you know pitching being in those moments my
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: whole life you know whether maybe not quite in the
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: big leagues but.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: You deal with traffic pitching at any level.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: It's just going back to being rooted in the moment
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: and just knowing that I need to make the pitch
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: in that moment.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Not trying to be outside of just the presence.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: Is that kind of the same when you look at
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: the atmospheres you're in, whether it be Dodger Stadium or
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: here with a full crowd on Friday night? Those types
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: of situations, is it being in the moment is that
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: kind of the biggest thing that helps you get through
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: those situations?
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's definitely like mental, mental cues to go
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: to and, um, you're in a moment like that, but
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: I think, uh, an atmosphere like that, like if you
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: allow it to, it can definitely allow you to hone
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: in and, um, and focus really, really on the moment.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: So, um, I think pitching in those environments can definitely
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: be to your advantage if you take advantage of it.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: How can a crowd like Friday night help you, you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: as you go through your seven innings? Because a sellout
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: crowd here, how can that help you.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: On the mound?
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you feel the energy and you try
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: to capture the energy.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I think we've got the best fans in baseball. And,
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: you know, you definitely feel it. You sense it. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: like I said, you try to capture it and use
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: it as energy.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: So, yeah. Yeah, it's definitely, when you play at home
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: with the crowd that we.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Have pumping 40,000 a night, especially on the weekend, like Friday,
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: it's definitely to our advantage, I feel like.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson joining me here. you, I just
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: saw you guys come from watching Robert Gasser's bullpen there.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: How much are you guys feeding off each other as
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: a starting staff and, and kind of learning from each other,
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: whether it be bullpens, whether it just be talking, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: in the dugout clubhouse, off time, whatever it is, how
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: much are you guys feeding off each other and each
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: other's successes?
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very much so.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: I think we're, we have the next guy up mentality. It's, um,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: I think there's a, I think we're all very competitive
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: and we're competing with each other in like a healthy environment.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like you said, there's a.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Ton of dialogue about how we can get better and
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: I think we watch each.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Other's throwing programs and bullpens.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: And just trying to pick up stuff from each other.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: So it's definitely a collaborative effort and a team effort
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: and we definitely make each other better.
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, speaking of conversations, How much, you know, Jim Henderson,
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: Chris Hook, how have those conversations helped you throughout the season?
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: You know, and just, I'm sure there's many little things
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: that you try to improve on. How much are they
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: instrumental in your success?
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: Very much so.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: I think, I think those two guys and Sandy have
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: had just a huge impact on, on myself and everybody
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: on the pitching staff. But yeah, I mean, I, I
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: give them a big amount of credit for the success
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: I've had and, you know, for the stuff that I've
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: learned over the last couple years. And, yeah, I mean,
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I think we're good for a reason, and they're a
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: huge part of that.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: Next, coming here at Wrigley Field, what have you learned
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: about kind of the rivalry and the exciting games that
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: you guys and the Cubs have played, and how can
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: you kind of prepare for what that atmosphere will be
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: like on Thursday?
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's exciting. It's a great rivalry.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: You know, I've actually never pitched against the Cubs.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Right, that's what I thought.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: I'm excited for it.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: You know, I got to go to Wrigley earlier in
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: the year and obviously watched the playoffs last year. So, yeah,
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: I'm prepared for it. And I know that the environment
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: is going to be hectic. And, I mean, this is
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: what you ask for. This is what you dream of. So,
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: very much looking forward to it. And it's going to
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: be a good series.
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: Speaking of on the road, one of the things that
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: has been documented that you do is go out on
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: the mound and kind of get a feel for the
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: mound before you go out and pitch. What goes into
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: that for you, you know, going out there with, you know,
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: obviously not a game going on or anything like that?
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Is it just your sight lines, how you're going to see,
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: how you're going to feel? What does that give you
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: going into a start on the road?
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I do it here too, but I
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: definitely do it. Yeah, I do it before every start
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: regardless of where I'm at. But, yeah, I mean– There's a.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Lot of emotions and feelings that come with start day,
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: and I think me going out and getting a visual
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: and just feeling the mound and looking at home plate
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: is just a reminder of, hey, this is home for you,
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: or home for me, and knowing I'm not going to be,
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: it's not too long before I'm out there, and it's
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: kind of.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: Peaceful, so. I really enjoy it. Absolutely.
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: Logan, really appreciate the time and best of luck here
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: the rest of the way.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Hunter Baumgart and Logan Henderson. How about that?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: A conversation with the guy who's taking the ball tonight
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: at Wrigley Field, his first ever start against the Cubs
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: as the Brewers try to win a series and put
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a dagger in him, go up by 10.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I was going to say this, a dagger. Wayne Larrabee
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: could even give this one. He was calling Cubs games
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: at one particular point in time.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: He was indeed.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Drew, I got to wonder, though, like all of, as
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: he said, there's a lot of emotion. There's a lot
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: of stuff that goes into a, to start day. It's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: got to just be a moment where you're like, I
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: just got to get away from everybody. Everybody is trying
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: to weirdly stay away from me. No one really wants
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: to talk. I kind of want to talk, but don't
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: really want to talk. There's so much that's got to
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: go into it. It does have to be nice to
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: just get 15 minutes to yourself and be like, I'm
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: gonna lock myself in a little bit.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Cause that is the tradition. And it was funny. Cause
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Ben sheets was a guy like, You walk in and
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you didn't know if he was starting or not.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe chirping with everybody. Hey, did you see what happened?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, what do you think about my fantasy draft? Like,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: he's asking stuff. When should I take a quarterback? Aren't
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you pitching today? I'm not supposed to talk to you.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: That's like the unwritten thing in baseball is you don't
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: talk to the guy who's starting that day. Especially if
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: you're media.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: 100% media, yes. I was going to ask you that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Do you have to kind of know the guy in
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: that situation to see if that tradition still holds?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, some guys you don't even want to
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: look at. Like, they're in the zone and like they're.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Or if it's like Ruben Quevedo walking with his walkman,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: dragging a 30-foot cord because he's too lazy to carry
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the disc player, the disc man, across the clubhouse.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Actually saw that and the old tradition in like a
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: no-hitter a perfect game which i don't know if still
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: holds because we don't think about the same way but
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: i mean that guy.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Don't talk to him during no hitter except for the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: guys that are is he sitting there with the coach
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: going over the ipad yeah you know.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Not talking to everybody that he'll look at but the
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: tradition of like a no-hitter a perfect game was that
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: image in late innings when guys would get further and
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: further away and he's sitting all alone on the corner the.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Thing is everybody has their own routine and they from
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the time you're in AAU, you develop your own process.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: You learn it probably at some point. You have your process.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: But as Gasser pointed out the other day when he
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: got the call, he hadn't even sat down in the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: pen when Dustin May gets smoked.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: And he's like, all right, you're up. Like, okay.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, maybe we don't need to go through
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: all that crap. Maybe I don't need to not look
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: at anybody. Maybe I can pitch effectively without all the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: rigmarole and putting all the pressure on them.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's just not good. Well, I have to eat at.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: This exact moment, and I have to go out to
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the pen, and I have to do these exercises in
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: this order. It's like, eh, maybe I don't need that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: It's maybe not right when your ritual is forced to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: break and you still be able to form. Oh, man,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I guess that's I guess they were right. That actually
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't help. That was the definition of cold jocking. You know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: when they just like it's a show and go.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Brett, that whole thing like we're not going to. All right.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys had a long night of travel. We're
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: just going to show up to a ballpark and play
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: like no, no BP, no nothing. Just stretch on your own.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Get after it.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: You're going to show and go today. I like, I
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: like you're in a, I can't remember. It was Brent
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Suter when Woody was supposed to start in St. Louis
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: a number of years ago. And he's like, yeah, I
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: was sitting in the clubhouse eating wheat dens. And Murph
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: came up to me and asked, Hey, can you start
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: in 25 minutes?
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sure.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I got my pants on.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: We're off and running with the Thursday edition of the huddle. Oh,
