0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome aboard five o'clock clubbers. You are in the huddle.
0:04
Speaker 1: That's right. Fox Sports Radio nine, twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison,

0:12
Speaker 1: Drew Billy Arman, locked and loaded, ready for duty on
0:17
Speaker 1: this Wednesday. Gotta admit I'm dragging a little bit.
0:19
Speaker 2: I don't know.
0:19
Speaker 1: Why I'm feeling it yet, because maybe it's a hangover
0:22
Speaker 1: from the you know, the long weekend, compounding with interest
0:27
Speaker 1: the US men's national team taking us a little later
0:30
Speaker 1: for our bedtime, and then of course the riveting Brewers
0:33
Speaker 1: doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals last evening.
0:36
Speaker 3: Drew It wouldn't it wouldn't be worth it if it
0:38
Speaker 3: wasn't taxing on the body and it wasn't difficult on
0:41
Speaker 3: the soul.
0:41
Speaker 2: I mean, you played two. There's a lot too.
0:44
Speaker 3: That was a lot of baseball, a lot of couch
0:46
Speaker 3: time yesterday, but even more important, a lot of w's
0:50
Speaker 3: in the column. And the Brewers get they just might
0:55
Speaker 3: have done it again. I like you see as the
0:58
Speaker 3: Luis Larro news breaks just as we're getting off the air,
1:01
Speaker 3: and then Adam mccalvey pumps the brakes, then unpumps the
1:04
Speaker 3: brakes and he makes his debut in game two after
1:08
Speaker 3: MS grinds through the seven innings earlier. I guess there
1:11
Speaker 3: were a lot of things on my Bengo card I
1:12
Speaker 3: didn't have yesterday. I didn't have Robert Gasser's stat line,
1:15
Speaker 3: someone looking better than missus in game two after the
1:19
Speaker 3: way Game one went down, and how you got that
1:21
Speaker 3: w It's the good day to be.
1:23
Speaker 2: It was a good day to meet be a Milwaukee
1:25
Speaker 2: Brewers fan.
1:25
Speaker 3: It's always good when the Saint Louis Cardinals take one
1:28
Speaker 3: on the chin as well. And man, you look up
1:30
Speaker 3: and they are twenty six games over five hundred. Now
1:34
Speaker 3: it feels like just yesterday we were talking about trying
1:37
Speaker 3: to get the ten games over.
1:38
Speaker 2: They've blown by that one.
1:39
Speaker 3: They're just setting new Thresholds's spectacular.
1:42
Speaker 1: The way the Brewers are playing. They're still haven't hit
1:45
Speaker 1: their stride, still haven't wow offense.
1:48
Speaker 4: But wow, that's the fitting part. I mean, they keep
1:51
Speaker 4: winning without I guess doing that. I guess if they
1:54
Speaker 4: haven't done it yet. No, And and as much as
1:57
Speaker 4: I would think last year all the time, like when
1:59
Speaker 4: is this gonna?
2:00
Speaker 2: Is this?
2:00
Speaker 4: What is all this winning gonna end? When am I
2:02
Speaker 4: gonna get off this this magic carpet ride. All of
2:04
Speaker 4: a sudden, we're here doing it again. And you mentioned it, Billy,
2:07
Speaker 4: July eighth, fifteen and thirty three. It's just incredible the
2:11
Speaker 4: way they're just a machine that keeps rolling.
2:14
Speaker 2: And yes, it is another great example of it.
2:16
Speaker 4: What a great day and all the great pitching performances
2:19
Speaker 4: this year for the Brewers that gas are one. It
2:21
Speaker 4: might have been the best for multiple reasons. I mean
2:23
Speaker 4: it might have been there their most important let's put
2:26
Speaker 4: it that way.
2:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely needed it after like the last trip
2:30
Speaker 1: through the rotation wasn't exactly sparkling.
2:33
Speaker 2: No, a lot of short starts.
2:34
Speaker 3: You had to sprout four innings on one hundred pitches,
2:37
Speaker 3: and obviously the news of woodruff comes up and hits
2:42
Speaker 3: you in the mouth. And then miss has been good,
2:46
Speaker 3: maybe not like as dominant and hard to be better
2:48
Speaker 3: than he was against the Phillies. Right, like you needed
2:52
Speaker 3: some innings and a couple of days ago, we're sitting
2:54
Speaker 3: here saying you play eight games in seven days, Hey,
2:56
Speaker 3: im four and four.
2:58
Speaker 2: You'll take it.
2:59
Speaker 3: You obviously you do better than that, but you'll take
3:01
Speaker 3: it well or one went away from at least locking
3:03
Speaker 3: that up in two days.
3:05
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive stuff. That's pretty impressive. H The mis game
3:08
Speaker 1: was a little bit more tenuous, right little.
3:13
Speaker 3: Oh definitely yeah, ball leaving the ballpark against the miss
3:16
Speaker 3: a little bit lately.
3:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, But he's ten and four though, I mean, and
3:19
Speaker 2: he's still doing great. Yeah.
3:21
Speaker 1: And to go the way he did and to have
3:25
Speaker 1: eleven uh strikeouts and no walks, I mean.
3:30
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's incredible.
3:32
Speaker 4: I think we're just say it's so unusual for us
3:34
Speaker 4: sometimes to see anybody score or get hard contact of
3:37
Speaker 4: miz but you know, what's inevitable, and then when it
3:39
Speaker 4: does happen, you're like, whoa, that's weird. But to settle
3:43
Speaker 4: down the way he did and be able to lock
3:45
Speaker 4: back in the way he did and still deliver the
3:46
Speaker 4: performance wait for the runs to come.
3:48
Speaker 2: That was.
3:49
Speaker 1: That was a lesson perseverance for him. It's like, oh,
3:52
Speaker 1: that's a rocky otti for him. He pitched seven and
3:55
Speaker 1: he's he gave up three hits. It's just said two
3:56
Speaker 1: of them left the yard and he's a playing most
4:00
Speaker 1: of the juice like there was a there was a
4:02
Speaker 1: last home center the last time I saw miss pitch
4:04
Speaker 1: at American Family Field. It was like he threw a
4:08
Speaker 1: pitch one hundred and three and it was a home
4:10
Speaker 1: run and the exit Vila was like one hundred and
4:11
Speaker 1: three nine.
4:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, the one that just sneaks over the wall, Like,
4:14
Speaker 3: come on, this barely gets It's just crazy.
4:17
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean for to go eleven strike outs,
4:21
Speaker 1: no walks again, to strike guys out at the rate
4:24
Speaker 1: he is and to hardly ever walk anybody and hardly
4:27
Speaker 1: ever go to like three ball counts, it's flipping amazing.
4:30
Speaker 2: It's insane.
4:31
Speaker 3: And listening to Dillard and Jeff tried to like piece
4:34
Speaker 3: it together yesterday because it is almost just stunning when
4:38
Speaker 3: anybody makes contact against him, right, like is that fair?
4:41
Speaker 3: Like you watch it and at certain points like I
4:44
Speaker 3: don't know how you're touching the one TOZH three. Oh,
4:46
Speaker 3: but there he's having trouble with the cutter. Well, it
4:48
Speaker 3: might be the only one that anybody can catch up to.
4:51
Speaker 3: And at some point you have to sit on something
4:54
Speaker 3: and guess. And I think that was what the second
4:57
Speaker 3: guy did yesterday. Walker is one of the better hitters
4:59
Speaker 3: in the game, and he put a great swing on
5:01
Speaker 3: one early but still early and then what retires the
5:05
Speaker 3: next twelve or the last twelve guys he sees to
5:08
Speaker 3: be able to chew through those last couple of innings.
5:10
Speaker 3: He finishes the fifth inning at seventy four pitches. Drean,
5:14
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, we'll see hopefully he can grab
5:16
Speaker 3: you one more full one and then we'll see how
5:18
Speaker 3: the bullpen turns it over. And then he gives you
5:20
Speaker 3: the ball going into the bottom of the eighth. That's
5:21
Speaker 3: impressive stuff, impressive. One hundred and three pitches, seventy five strikes.
5:26
Speaker 3: That's just stunning. It's stunning.
5:28
Speaker 1: Now, when you're always in the zone like that, you
5:29
Speaker 1: figure you're gonna give up some hits. They are big
5:32
Speaker 1: league hitters, right, That's just it's a testament to how
5:34
Speaker 1: great his stuff is that he you know, his misses
5:38
Speaker 1: when he misses the zone, and it's never by much, and.
5:40
Speaker 4: Then he can keep these guys off balance so much
5:42
Speaker 4: because you're right, it's just when you throw that many strikes,
5:45
Speaker 4: it is bound to happen.
5:46
Speaker 2: I mean, every guy will give up hits and runs.
5:48
Speaker 4: And the fact that he's been able to avoid it
5:49
Speaker 4: for so long, and it does seem like the strategy. Yeah,
5:53
Speaker 4: your point, it's a billion. It's like they're sitting on
5:55
Speaker 4: certain pitches. It seems like guys are committed to guessing
5:58
Speaker 4: now on certain pitches, at least certain parts of the
6:01
Speaker 4: fastball you kind of have to. And that might be
6:03
Speaker 4: the new strategy hitters have against Miss. When you look
6:06
Speaker 4: at his last two starts now when he has gotten
6:08
Speaker 4: touched up, it's like, yeah, it seems like there's gonna
6:11
Speaker 4: be always that high volume of strikeouts, but there's gonna
6:14
Speaker 4: be times when hitters are committing to trying to not
6:17
Speaker 4: hit against him.
6:18
Speaker 2: The way you would against the normal hitter or pitcher.
6:20
Speaker 4: It's just gonna be we're gonna we're gonna hope to
6:23
Speaker 4: guess swing super early. And there's another one where I
6:25
Speaker 4: forget the guy which guy was swung so early on
6:28
Speaker 4: the fastball, because it's just like I'm just going for it,
6:31
Speaker 4: like this is my best chance to get a hit here.
6:33
Speaker 2: So that might be the strategy off Miss.
6:35
Speaker 4: But he's been incredible done the job and it was
6:38
Speaker 4: great to see another Brewers comeback win yesterday in game.
6:41
Speaker 4: They just make you believe that they're always gonna find
6:44
Speaker 4: a way to win a game no matter what the
6:45
Speaker 4: situation is that's pretty much.
6:47
Speaker 1: The feeling is like, oh, well, we'll chip away as
6:49
Speaker 1: long as they're within striking distance, right, and.
6:51
Speaker 2: Then find a way.
6:53
Speaker 1: The way it laid out couldn't have been better. And
6:55
Speaker 1: I heard some people that don't really they aren't close baseball.
7:00
Speaker 1: They were positing like, well, what do you do do
7:03
Speaker 1: you start missing the second game or the first game?
7:05
Speaker 1: And it's clear what Murph wanted to do. It's like,
7:07
Speaker 1: first of all, you want him to start. You want
7:08
Speaker 1: to miss the pitch as soon as he can right
7:10
Speaker 1: whenever he wants to, he gets But the way it
7:13
Speaker 1: laid out and with the stretch that they're in, pitching
7:15
Speaker 1: him in the first game was like almost the default
7:18
Speaker 1: decision because you want to have as many relievers available
7:22
Speaker 1: as possible in the second game, and the thinking is
7:25
Speaker 1: that miss will take eat up going to eat up
7:28
Speaker 1: the most innings, right you can bank. You think, well,
7:30
Speaker 1: he's gonna go seven, or he's got the best chance
7:32
Speaker 1: to go seven or eight, maybe even finishing game. So
7:34
Speaker 1: you run him out there and then you hope that
7:36
Speaker 1: you have so the fact that they used Ashby for
7:40
Speaker 1: an inning and your rebay for an inning, and then
7:42
Speaker 1: Yoho for like an inning and a third with a
7:45
Speaker 1: huge lead. It couldn't have laid out any better to
7:47
Speaker 1: get through, to get through a double header using three
7:50
Speaker 1: relievers and the bullpen for the bus has been ridiculously
7:53
Speaker 1: good but also ridiculously taxed because of the badation we
7:57
Speaker 1: would talk about. So it laid out perfectly, and you
8:01
Speaker 1: wouldn't want like, well, then it's like we'll just get
8:03
Speaker 1: through the first one and then let mizzied up innings.
8:05
Speaker 1: Well what if he gets a blister, what if something happened,
8:07
Speaker 1: Like yeah, you have to absolutely you want him first.
8:10
Speaker 1: And it made all the sense in the world to
8:11
Speaker 1: me the way they deployed him, and it couldn't have
8:14
Speaker 1: laid out much better. Plus you got to see Luis
8:16
Speaker 1: Laarra make his his start and then you see him
8:19
Speaker 1: and all you needed to see was like he didn't
8:21
Speaker 1: get a hit until his third at bat and you got.
8:23
Speaker 2: A RB second or third or whatever. But it's a
8:26
Speaker 2: big situation.
8:27
Speaker 1: Gets a big hit kind of breaks the game open
8:29
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then you get to see him
8:30
Speaker 1: run the bases awesome and you're like, oh my god.
8:33
Speaker 4: That was this is like oh okay, and the ball
8:37
Speaker 4: didn't get to the wall first to home and he
8:38
Speaker 4: was all fired up.
8:39
Speaker 2: I love that too, oh man, well out fired up
8:42
Speaker 2: he got. That was great.
8:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the moment where I thought, Drew they
8:45
Speaker 3: might have done it again, because yeah, you can find
8:47
Speaker 3: some competitiveness. That dude's got a lot of competitiveness and
8:51
Speaker 3: a lot of fire. And obviously you're gonna be che
8:52
Speaker 3: stuff on.
8:53
Speaker 1: Your first name set, I mean, your big league debut
8:56
Speaker 1: and know everything's coming at your warp speed.
8:59
Speaker 2: And to look, he looked like he belonged.
9:01
Speaker 1: He's uh to get a hit, walk and score a
9:05
Speaker 1: run in a blowout win.
9:08
Speaker 2: That's about as good as it gets.
9:09
Speaker 1: Like so everything it couldn't have been scripted much better
9:11
Speaker 1: for the bridges and this stretches through and now the
9:14
Speaker 1: wheels could come off in Pittsburgh. But it's looking pretty solid,
9:17
Speaker 1: like if they can just maintain like you said, and
9:21
Speaker 1: just like, okay, what do they got?
9:23
Speaker 2: They have the three in.
9:24
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh, five left here before the three left in Saint Louis,
9:27
Speaker 1: So now we're chipping away.
9:30
Speaker 2: If you go three and two, that'd be a pretty.
9:31
Speaker 1: Good Oh that's a very nice thingis yeah, you know,
9:34
Speaker 1: anything more than that would be like he's absurd, But.
9:38
Speaker 3: Jelich said it yesterday after the game because Murphy of
9:41
Speaker 3: the cool tidbit of him coming early and arriving with
9:44
Speaker 3: the coaches at seven thirty and try to work himself
9:46
Speaker 3: out of it and then gets a three hitter in
9:47
Speaker 3: the in the first game of the double header. They're
9:50
Speaker 3: clearly not playing their past. And you mentioned it, Drew
9:53
Speaker 3: and sometimes you can feel like it gets said flippantly.
9:56
Speaker 3: But the way that they've been hitting with runners in
9:58
Speaker 3: scoring position, the offense is is due to break through.
10:01
Speaker 2: At some point. Now.
10:02
Speaker 3: It obviously broke the damn breaks last night, and then
10:05
Speaker 3: it helps when you can send your twenty two year
10:07
Speaker 3: old superstar up there left handed in the ninth inning.
10:10
Speaker 3: But like, you've got so many guys that are still
10:17
Speaker 3: I think scratching the surface of how much they can
10:21
Speaker 3: help you offensively this year. And maybe the unlocking is
10:26
Speaker 3: Joey Orti is going over to third base because you
10:28
Speaker 3: can tell that the energy on that dugout when certain
10:32
Speaker 3: players have a moment. Obviously, when Laura had his moments
10:35
Speaker 3: last night, the place gets juiced up. But they react
10:38
Speaker 3: well to number three and a five hit day for
10:41
Speaker 3: Joey Ortiz as man in third base. There's something to it, right, Like,
10:46
Speaker 3: I don't know if indeed it's just the fact of
10:48
Speaker 3: knowing how much you have to work on defense. I
10:50
Speaker 3: think it's different when you talk about that with a
10:52
Speaker 3: basketball player always guarding the best player, then I can
10:55
Speaker 3: understand how it takes away some of your offense. I
10:57
Speaker 3: don't fully necessarily understand it in baseball. But if that's
11:01
Speaker 3: the case, just leave him over at third base and
11:03
Speaker 3: see how much you can maximize it. Because that was
11:05
Speaker 3: a nice comfortable spot for.
11:07
Speaker 4: Him, and we've talked about it, and we talked about earlier.
11:09
Speaker 4: Is like, for some reason, some guys are just comfortable
11:12
Speaker 4: to play when they play a different position.
11:14
Speaker 2: I didn't know if it would be like that for Joey.
11:16
Speaker 2: I just know this.
11:17
Speaker 4: When he becomes kind of a utility infielder sort of guy.
11:21
Speaker 4: We were talking so much about him being kind of
11:25
Speaker 4: the weak spot in the lineup and the detriment and
11:26
Speaker 4: so many people wanted to flush Joey down the toilet
11:29
Speaker 4: this year. But when he becomes all of a sudden
11:31
Speaker 4: a utility infielder, he goes it's a double edged sword.
11:34
Speaker 4: He goes to become a weapon, and it's amazing how
11:38
Speaker 4: that works when you have him being able to fill
11:40
Speaker 4: in at those positions with the way he plays defense.
11:43
Speaker 4: I mean, he made it throw from like left field yesterday.
11:46
Speaker 4: That was awesome. Eddie said it was at number one
11:48
Speaker 4: on top ten today. I didn't see it. That was
11:50
Speaker 4: an amazing play. And then all of a sudden, you
11:52
Speaker 4: know what his bad has done, or did yesterday at least,
11:55
Speaker 4: and getting the homer and the hits and things like that.
11:57
Speaker 2: He goes from yeah, he goes from detriment.
12:00
Speaker 4: It's a weapon really quick, and it's kind of amazing
12:03
Speaker 4: how that's worked. And Joey's handled everything the right way,
12:06
Speaker 4: the struggles he's had, and now he's seeing a little
12:08
Speaker 4: bit of the fruits of the labor where all of
12:10
Speaker 4: a sudden, you're talking about a guy like that playing
12:12
Speaker 4: third some days, especially if Hamilton's got the thing man
12:16
Speaker 4: a weapon all of a sudden.
12:17
Speaker 2: So it makes you excited.
12:19
Speaker 4: To see what Joey's been able to do over there
12:21
Speaker 4: and what it can become.
12:23
Speaker 2: This team is rolling guys.
12:26
Speaker 1: And again like okay, so everybody, oh yeah, let's get
12:29
Speaker 1: him out of the leadoff spot.
12:30
Speaker 2: What are you doing and he basically helps you win
12:32
Speaker 2: the first game. Yeah, no doubt about it, dude.
12:35
Speaker 3: And and and I loved Murph's statement to it. And
12:39
Speaker 3: and mcalvey put it out, Uh because Murph, Murph gave
12:42
Speaker 3: him the printed he said, write that down, because people
12:45
Speaker 3: got to know how much this kid cares about the
12:47
Speaker 3: team and about the Brewers. He feels awful that he's
12:49
Speaker 3: not producing at the rate of thirty homers and one
12:51
Speaker 3: hundred RBIs like he did last year.
12:53
Speaker 2: He feels awful about it.
12:54
Speaker 3: He's working his tail off and to come up today
12:57
Speaker 3: and do what he did, I'm just really proud of
12:58
Speaker 3: the three hard contacts. The first thing he did after
13:01
Speaker 3: the game was said, Murph, don't rest me on a
13:04
Speaker 3: play in the second game. That's a sign of a
13:06
Speaker 3: guy that's hungry for it. After riding over with the
13:09
Speaker 3: coaches at seven thirty am before the doubleheader, I just
13:12
Speaker 3: you get that with Yelich, and I think a lot
13:16
Speaker 3: of it always ends up being the contract. People will
13:19
Speaker 3: see the number drew and like immediately think a certain thing.
13:22
Speaker 3: And Christian is rather stoic that the idea is he
13:26
Speaker 3: doesn't care or it doesn't matter to him. When you
13:30
Speaker 3: don't throw a bat or spike it or try to
13:32
Speaker 3: break it over your knee when you strike out for
13:34
Speaker 3: the third time in a game. But you can tell
13:36
Speaker 3: how much it wears on him. Like you listening to
13:39
Speaker 3: him a couple of years ago when he went on
13:41
Speaker 3: the podcast tour, you could tell whatever happens in that
13:45
Speaker 3: batter's box fits with this dude for a long time,
13:48
Speaker 3: and it's it's impressive to hear because then I think
13:51
Speaker 3: you can start understanding more and more how and why
13:55
Speaker 3: all the players react so much to him and treat
13:58
Speaker 3: him the way that they do because he's seen everything
14:00
Speaker 3: in the league. But when he takes every single day,
14:02
Speaker 3: that that impressive and that intently it's understandable why he's
14:06
Speaker 3: the leader he is.
14:06
Speaker 1: Right now, you that's the word of the day. Belly
14:12
Speaker 1: Palada word of the day, Stoic.
14:15
Speaker 2: I love that.
14:16
Speaker 1: Stoic a person who endures hardship or pain without showing
14:19
Speaker 1: their feelings or complaining. Kristin Yelich, Yeah, and he said
14:23
Speaker 1: something last year or maybe it was two years ago,
14:25
Speaker 1: but I think that as locker last year, like it's
14:28
Speaker 1: not like, yeah, okay, the contracts great in all, but
14:30
Speaker 1: it's not like you go over four and you come
14:32
Speaker 1: in and there's just a pile of money sitting and
14:34
Speaker 1: you're at your chair in the locker room and you're
14:36
Speaker 1: just like, oh, yeah, this is good, this is.
14:39
Speaker 5: Right.
14:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all good. Like it's not how it works.
14:42
Speaker 1: You're still want to do well. Right when you're coming up,
14:46
Speaker 1: you want to do well to get that bag. And
14:48
Speaker 1: then once you got the bag, you still want to
14:50
Speaker 1: do well. It doesn't go away, right.
14:52
Speaker 4: I think he knows his goals are bigger now than
14:55
Speaker 4: at the later stage of his career than just catching checks.
14:58
Speaker 2: It's he wants to be part of a a team that.
15:00
Speaker 1: Wins, and he's the driving force between this little engine
15:05
Speaker 1: that every year exceeds expectations, outperforms what anybody thinks they're
15:10
Speaker 1: going to do. And now just clamoring for them to
15:12
Speaker 1: go make the big move. And man, it is gonna
15:14
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see what they do in the next
15:16
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But the way things are laying out,
15:18
Speaker 1: and you're right that to play a double header and
15:20
Speaker 1: to force the other team into pitching a position guy
15:23
Speaker 1: a former Milwaukee milk man, Yeah right, and have Churio
15:27
Speaker 1: flip around and hit lefty to that. I've I've never
15:31
Speaker 1: seen that. That is like that should be the new trend, Like, okay,
15:33
Speaker 1: you're throwing up the white flag, We're gonna screw around
15:35
Speaker 1: two side, you know, because it's like it's the no
15:39
Speaker 1: win situation.
15:40
Speaker 2: When you got the position.
15:41
Speaker 1: Guy. I'm old enough to remember when my boy, the
15:43
Speaker 1: icon Jeff Cirella struck out Craig Council.
15:45
Speaker 2: I don't think Council has gotten over that yet. It
15:49
Speaker 2: is nice to see guys still having fun at that level.
15:51
Speaker 2: But we can play around a little bit, but it's
15:52
Speaker 2: is still fun.
15:53
Speaker 1: If it's gonna be a white flag thing, It's like
15:55
Speaker 1: if you get a hit against it doesn't a big deal.
15:57
Speaker 2: You hit got a hit off a position player. If
15:59
Speaker 2: you hit a home run, big deal.
16:00
Speaker 1: Hit home you strike out, you look like an idiot,
16:02
Speaker 1: So go back flip around a beat the other way.
16:05
Speaker 1: It's like that loosened up the brewers even more.
16:07
Speaker 2: They loved it.
16:08
Speaker 3: That was hilarious and it might be one of the
16:09
Speaker 3: more impressive feats of athleticism I've seen. Like when Jason Lane,
16:13
Speaker 3: the coach says, I've never seen him swing the bat
16:15
Speaker 3: left handed, and he puts one right in near the
16:18
Speaker 3: warning sh with a softball leg swing against a five
16:23
Speaker 3: six mile an hour lob. It was. It was awesome
16:25
Speaker 3: to see, and I did, though I guess I do
16:28
Speaker 3: have a little bit too much sports pettiness in my brain.
16:31
Speaker 3: I was worried Ollie Marmel and everybody over on the
16:34
Speaker 3: other side was going to get chapped right Drew, Like,
16:36
Speaker 3: I didn't want this to be a oh so you're
16:38
Speaker 3: trotting out the third string quarterback against us here in
16:41
Speaker 3: the middle of the third quarter because this thing's over.
16:44
Speaker 3: But I do appreciate over on the other side. I
16:46
Speaker 3: think they got to chuckle out of it too, and hey, thanks,
16:48
Speaker 3: because we all want to get out of here.
16:50
Speaker 2: We've been here for far too long. Today. Let's go
16:52
Speaker 2: take a sleep, go get.
16:53
Speaker 3: A drink, and enjoy Wednesday and joy see we can
16:56
Speaker 3: all get back at it tomorrow.
16:57
Speaker 2: That was remarkable, and even they didn't get upset.
16:59
Speaker 4: I thought, for sure he's gonna start pointing his chest
17:01
Speaker 4: again or doing one of those clown activities over on
17:04
Speaker 4: the Cardinals bench. They were gonna get upset about it.
17:06
Speaker 4: But I'm kind of glad they didn't. Finally, because it
17:08
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, yeah, don't be ridiculous. I also think
17:10
Speaker 4: they knew there was no future in that. They tried
17:12
Speaker 4: that already. Hey, hey, don't don't you know, pointing in
17:14
Speaker 4: his head and pointing in his chest, all that nonsense
17:16
Speaker 4: they had in their last meeting, and the way the
17:18
Speaker 4: Brewers are beating him. But man, that was still fun.
17:21
Speaker 4: You know, we haven't seen that. We haven't seen those
17:23
Speaker 4: type of things as much. I feel like in baseball
17:25
Speaker 4: these days we do see more let the boys play,
17:27
Speaker 4: like the bad flips and the fun stuff. But whatever
17:30
Speaker 4: happened in the goofing around and blowouts and the hot
17:32
Speaker 4: foots and stuff like that, we haven't seen a good
17:34
Speaker 4: hot foot in a while. So I like, I like
17:37
Speaker 4: to see stuff like that's part of baseball every now
17:39
Speaker 4: and then blowing the bubble gum bubble on the guy's
17:41
Speaker 4: hat and putting it on his head there. Yeah, that's tough.
17:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:46
Speaker 1: So so the thing about the Brewers and yesterday is
17:48
Speaker 1: that sweeping the doubleheader laid out perfectly. You got to
17:52
Speaker 1: see Lark Cooper Pratt not going in a run. Gasser's
17:56
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, which is when athletes peak pitch
17:59
Speaker 1: his fifteenth big league game mm hmm, and a couple
18:02
Speaker 1: of all the stuff that's befell him, right.
18:04
Speaker 3: And I would have to look Drew, but I would
18:05
Speaker 3: say twenty three, twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, him
18:09
Speaker 3: and Miz were the one two on the top pitching
18:11
Speaker 3: prospects in the organization, right like, because when when he
18:14
Speaker 3: comes back from the Hater trade, the idea was he
18:17
Speaker 3: was gonna be one of your front line rotation guys.
18:19
Speaker 3: And he's battled through that after that injury, and you're right,
18:22
Speaker 3: fifth only his fifteenth.
18:24
Speaker 2: Big league game. Fifteenth big league game.
18:26
Speaker 1: These are a little moments and look how he look
18:28
Speaker 1: how he was, And then you saw Cooper Pratt knocking
18:30
Speaker 1: in a run and running around out there, and then
18:32
Speaker 1: you see Lara, you know, his first game looking like
18:36
Speaker 1: Cherio did in his first game, you know, as a rookie.
18:39
Speaker 1: It's kind of absurd, like, not only are they good,
18:41
Speaker 1: they're young and cheap and controllable and poised to be
18:44
Speaker 1: around for a while.
18:45
Speaker 3: And Drew, it's starting to it's starting to creep into
18:47
Speaker 3: my mind. Last night after I was listening to Luis
18:50
Speaker 3: Lara's interview with Sophia Minnerd and that is all you
18:55
Speaker 3: see it every day, so it shouldn't blow my mind
18:57
Speaker 3: that much. It's still incredible when Sophia does that. I
19:00
Speaker 3: asked the question. This is what he responded with. I
19:03
Speaker 3: don't know how interpreters remember every single word that gets
19:05
Speaker 3: said there.
19:08
Speaker 2: Yes, Bill, it blows my mind. The mental capacity is
19:11
Speaker 2: really impressive.
19:11
Speaker 3: But like the confidence in the swagger that he had,
19:15
Speaker 3: a man, it's just stepping up into an interview and
19:18
Speaker 3: getting a ice cold bottle of water dumped on his
19:21
Speaker 3: head and then calmly reacting. I wonder, Drew, if this
19:25
Speaker 3: is Major League Baseball saying we can't let the Brewers
19:27
Speaker 3: have this many cost controllable players for too long. Maybe
19:30
Speaker 3: that's why they keep trying to push for this big
19:31
Speaker 3: move because right now the top two teams in the
19:34
Speaker 3: nl are separating themselves. They are, and it's the two
19:37
Speaker 3: teams that played last year in the NLCS. And don't
19:41
Speaker 3: look now, there's a reason why everybody is saying the
19:44
Speaker 3: Brewers need to make a big move because I think
19:46
Speaker 3: I think people are wondering exactly how many of these
19:48
Speaker 3: good young players can the Brewers actually have? And I
19:51
Speaker 3: enjoy the fact that we got all of them.
19:53
Speaker 2: All of them right now.
19:54
Speaker 3: I enjoy that each one comes up and we're either
19:56
Speaker 3: rolling a seven or eleven on our first.
19:59
Speaker 1: It's our turn and our turn. Heyesus. My day is
20:02
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings.
20:04
Speaker 4: The best ones not even here, fish, I mean, line
20:07
Speaker 4: them up. I mean we got the cavalry coming. We
20:09
Speaker 4: then boys pretty wise and another little guy too. That
20:12
Speaker 4: did it again.
20:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is he? Five seven, one sixty. He's me.
20:15
Speaker 2: He's one of me again. I love the.
20:17
Speaker 1: Little guy's pretty wild. Brewers are off and running, so
20:20
Speaker 1: are we. Hot Teke Humpte fires up at six o'clock,
20:22
Speaker 1: but we'll take them early. Eight seven, seven, seven, nine
20:24
Speaker 1: four one three gets into Nicola Lot dot com talk
20:27
Speaker 1: and text line. It's a beautiful day in the good Land.
20:30
Speaker 1: Brewers are on a roll. You're in the huddle. Fox
20:32
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin.
20:37
Speaker 2: Third, there's gonna be a plane. Hold the throw from
20:40
Speaker 2: Win all the way through to twe.
20:44
Speaker 4: Laura showing off the speed is Terrank doubles home another run.
20:51
Speaker 1: Brewers TV highlight, Luise Laura showing those wheels. Yeah, I
20:55
Speaker 1: can watch that guy run.
20:57
Speaker 4: You know, the fastest by the way sprint speed of
20:59
Speaker 4: the sea. I believe I saw somewhere.
21:02
Speaker 2: I don't doubt it.
21:03
Speaker 1: Just looked jaw droppingly fast and cut the bag well
21:06
Speaker 1: to it. You can't, I mean you can almost. It's
21:09
Speaker 1: almost a drinking game when christ and Yelich cuts a
21:12
Speaker 1: bag or sure some second Rock is gonna like, you know,
21:15
Speaker 1: wax poetic about it.
21:16
Speaker 2: He knows it because he can't, because he loves it.
21:19
Speaker 1: But I mean watching that kid like that'll be a
21:24
Speaker 1: treat watching Mitchell run, watching that kid run.
21:26
Speaker 2: Brewers obviously now have a type.
21:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all young, athletic and up the middle guys
21:32
Speaker 3: and Drew. It seems like this was the case for
21:36
Speaker 3: the last what maybe twelve eight to ten years. Really
21:39
Speaker 3: some Sterns took over. It felt like in the draft
21:42
Speaker 3: they focused in their first like three to four picks.
21:44
Speaker 3: They were gonna go shortstop, second baseman, centerfielder, but just.
21:48
Speaker 2: Right up the middle. That's the old uh figure it out.
21:50
Speaker 1: I mean, that's as old as branch Rickey back in
21:53
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Dodgers days. Catcher, catcher, short, second, center field,
21:57
Speaker 1: be strong up the middle.
21:58
Speaker 3: But then it seems like people try to dv he
22:00
Speaker 3: ate a little too much and they're like, well, actually no,
22:02
Speaker 3: the big powers over here over at first base, we
22:04
Speaker 3: got to get a much more college hitters that are
22:05
Speaker 3: playing over the corners will be able to leave you
22:08
Speaker 3: just keep it simple and keep it down the middle,
22:10
Speaker 3: and then you can move guys around and then you
22:12
Speaker 3: do take your swings with like an Andrew Fisher in
22:15
Speaker 3: the first round this year, and we'll see how that
22:16
Speaker 3: one plays.
22:17
Speaker 1: But it's looking pretty good too. And Luis Lara was
22:19
Speaker 1: a lot of fun last night.
22:21
Speaker 3: And I keep going back to I think it was
22:23
Speaker 3: I think it was Yelly a couple of years ago.
22:25
Speaker 3: Maybe it was Murph as well, talking about the energy
22:28
Speaker 3: a young player going through their first in the big leagues,
22:32
Speaker 3: how it can rejuvenate a clubhouse right in the midst
22:35
Speaker 3: of a little bit of a grinding part of the season.
22:37
Speaker 3: You're just staring down the barrel at the end of
22:39
Speaker 3: the week and finally getting some off days. You get
22:42
Speaker 3: that little jolt of energy and he seems like some
22:44
Speaker 3: energy that's for sure. It can just propel you for
22:47
Speaker 3: at least a week and carry some more good vibes
22:50
Speaker 3: in momentum.
22:51
Speaker 2: And that was a big, big piece last night when.
22:52
Speaker 4: He hit his first hit and everything that dugout was
22:54
Speaker 4: going crazy. William Contraz, They're all call him for the ball.
22:57
Speaker 4: They're just jumping around. So absolutely you see the end
23:00
Speaker 4: energy he provided, the energy that that dug out. Loved
23:02
Speaker 4: it as well for you, like joking around with him
23:04
Speaker 4: on that dive for the catch. You saw, you saw
23:06
Speaker 4: the lips, the lip reading, if you saw that, that
23:08
Speaker 4: was kind of fun. Yeah, I mean it. It's just
23:12
Speaker 4: pretty incredible to watch how excited the guys get. And
23:15
Speaker 4: I think about how much fun it's got to be
23:17
Speaker 4: to be a prospect, to be a guy that hopes
23:20
Speaker 4: to make the big leagues. You get the contract, you
23:22
Speaker 4: get called up, and you're going up to a team
23:24
Speaker 4: like this, a team that's rolling, a team that's good,
23:27
Speaker 4: with a lot so many great players, veterans, young guys,
23:30
Speaker 4: a close knit feeling around the clubhouse. What a great
23:33
Speaker 4: situation to be in. And it's got to be so
23:35
Speaker 4: much fun to come up with a team like that.
23:37
Speaker 4: A lot of comments coming in on YouTube as well
23:39
Speaker 4: as the Nikola Alono dot com talking text line Dreamy
23:42
Speaker 4: Cardono on YouTube, ll is a fun watch? What a
23:45
Speaker 4: spark plug. Paul from Kenosha finally was able to watch
23:48
Speaker 4: the Bruis game. What much need game for the Brewers.
23:51
Speaker 4: Robert Gaser was able to pitch in the eighth with
23:53
Speaker 4: great offense. A couple of great games for the Brewers,
23:55
Speaker 4: not just one. My question is why did it take
23:57
Speaker 4: you so long?
23:58
Speaker 2: Paul? He said, finally was able to watch the I'm
24:00
Speaker 2: able to watch. I don't know if that's about Yeah,
24:02
Speaker 2: and so just just awesome.
24:05
Speaker 1: And it's up and down. Like when the Brewers were bad.
24:10
Speaker 1: The minor leagues was a lifeline of hope. It's like, oh,
24:13
Speaker 1: the Cavalry's coming. It's like a fielder in weeks.
24:16
Speaker 2: And we'll update on the Yeah, Jim Jim Polly suspend.
24:20
Speaker 1: You know, he did three innings a day and like
24:22
Speaker 1: two of them were talking about what was going down
24:24
Speaker 1: on to avoid it. But every day you look, it's like, okay,
24:28
Speaker 1: so Andrew Fisher, uh playing in Biloxi. They go back,
24:33
Speaker 1: they're playing in Knoxville, like where he played in college.
24:37
Speaker 1: Uh he had he went three for four with two
24:39
Speaker 1: doubles in a triple.
24:44
Speaker 3: And that's like, dude, that's fresh out of the SEC
24:46
Speaker 3: what last year, thirteen months ago he was playing college
24:49
Speaker 3: baseball crazy in Knoxville.
24:51
Speaker 1: So he gets to go home, like Okay, a little
24:53
Speaker 1: fired up there. He's had some two homer games that
24:56
Speaker 1: bumped him up level. So it's just that's a matter
24:58
Speaker 1: of time for that dude. So anybod he was like
25:00
Speaker 1: they got a trade for a third basement, was like, well,
25:02
Speaker 1: the guy's a year away. If not tough thing, not less,
25:05
Speaker 1: you know, so like, okay, let's calibrate it.
25:08
Speaker 2: Hey, if only they had gotten swore As last year
25:10
Speaker 2: at the deadline, right.
25:10
Speaker 3: Well, And I haven't been this dude, Drew where like
25:13
Speaker 3: you hoarding and holding onto the prospects and clutching the
25:17
Speaker 3: pearls of the young players.
25:18
Speaker 2: Because they're just too good. We just can't get rid
25:20
Speaker 2: of these guys. I don't.
25:22
Speaker 3: I don't much care about how the Biloxi Shuckers do
25:25
Speaker 3: right outside of how the individual performances go. But I
25:28
Speaker 3: will find myself and I have over the last couple
25:30
Speaker 3: of months been like.
25:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's not be moving.
25:35
Speaker 3: Obviously, Hayes has been day which you can dig off
25:37
Speaker 3: the table like the kid that gets traded for Mason
25:39
Speaker 3: Miller last year was the first top five prospect at
25:42
Speaker 3: the deadline that has been traded at the only top
25:46
Speaker 3: five consensus prospect around Major League Baseball that has been
25:50
Speaker 3: traded at the deadline since the guy that got traded
25:52
Speaker 3: for Wan Soda, right, So like it doesn't happen as
25:54
Speaker 3: much as you think the top, top level guy. But
25:58
Speaker 3: I've even found myself seeing Fish sure in that same category.
26:01
Speaker 3: And once you sign Pratt and Laura, I kind of
26:04
Speaker 3: think that maybe takes them a little bit off the table,
26:06
Speaker 3: and you're starting to see them pull back a number
26:08
Speaker 3: of these dudes. But you have a lot of different
26:11
Speaker 3: prospects that teams are going to continue to be interested
26:13
Speaker 3: because I haven't heard anybody talk about a brock Wilkin
26:16
Speaker 3: cat for a while.
26:16
Speaker 2: Good point. I think part of the issue.
26:18
Speaker 4: Is these teams see more investment in these guys, and
26:22
Speaker 4: because their potential to really help your team from a
26:26
Speaker 4: standpoint of quality obviously, but years and less money is
26:30
Speaker 4: the potential is too great to give them up anymore.
26:32
Speaker 4: And you have to really be thinking that to trade
26:35
Speaker 4: one of those guys, you have to operate from a
26:37
Speaker 4: more active, desperate situation, and the Brewers just haven't been that.
26:40
Speaker 2: The Brewers are winning to a high degree anyway.
26:42
Speaker 4: You know, when the Brewers traded for Cci, Laporta was
26:45
Speaker 4: a big prospect and they didn't want to part with them.
26:47
Speaker 4: But I think they did it because the Brewers are
26:49
Speaker 4: in more of a i'll say desperate situation and that
26:52
Speaker 4: they wanted to make the playoffs. There was only one
26:54
Speaker 4: wild card spot available. You hadn't done it in so long.
26:57
Speaker 4: You had to make a move to try and put
26:58
Speaker 4: your team over the top. And did work and it
27:00
Speaker 4: was worth it, there's no question about it. But the
27:03
Speaker 4: Brewers are not in a situation where they where they
27:05
Speaker 4: have to do that. I think they're gonna talk about
27:06
Speaker 4: what they'll add and should they go forward, and all
27:08
Speaker 4: this all in type narrative stuff.
27:11
Speaker 2: I think they ll add around the margins.
27:12
Speaker 4: They need obviously, depth in the pitching, you know, ranks, bullpen, starter,
27:16
Speaker 4: what have you. We've talked about that even with uh Gas,
27:20
Speaker 4: just performance. But they're not as desperate as you might
27:23
Speaker 4: another team might be to try and make a push
27:25
Speaker 4: for the postseason, to have to trade one of those guys,
27:28
Speaker 4: there's just not a reason to do it. I mean,
27:30
Speaker 4: when you're not when you don't have an obvious weakness,
27:32
Speaker 4: it's really hard to see where well the help yourself building.
27:36
Speaker 3: Now the obvious weakness is clear, like, I mean, the
27:38
Speaker 3: obvious weakness is still offensively. I know we had five
27:41
Speaker 3: hits yesterday for Joey Artie's third base. Is still the
27:43
Speaker 3: obvious offensive weakness, right like? And then that's the difficult
27:46
Speaker 3: thing is then for position player forecasting and then putting
27:49
Speaker 3: that guy there, like you have to have a certain
27:51
Speaker 3: player on the market that fits that spot, that will
27:53
Speaker 3: profile and then also at your exact position of need.
27:57
Speaker 3: But they also need into the bullpen and and Arman
27:59
Speaker 3: I I agree to an extent, but you also, desperation
28:04
Speaker 3: looks different for all teams, right like, at that point
28:06
Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight, the Brewers were desperate to
28:08
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. At that point, we will see how
28:11
Speaker 3: desperate they are to take another step in the playoffs
28:13
Speaker 3: if they feel that kind of desperation or desire. To write,
28:17
Speaker 3: it doesn't always have the negative connotation that a lot
28:20
Speaker 3: of times we put on it, that you're doing something
28:22
Speaker 3: that is completely out of out of your comfort zone. Sure,
28:26
Speaker 3: but you know, overstepping your bounds is a different thing.
28:30
Speaker 3: And I would wonder and I do anticipate at some
28:34
Speaker 3: point they get an itchy trigger finger Drew and want
28:38
Speaker 3: to say we have a bite at the apple. But
28:42
Speaker 3: I want to take that thing, dip it and carmel
28:44
Speaker 3: and know that I mean the entire thing.
28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they want to do it. We all
28:48
Speaker 2: want that. No, I think they want it.
28:50
Speaker 4: But it's not as easy to say, well, this is
28:52
Speaker 4: the number one player that will win us the World Series.
28:56
Speaker 3: I think that's not what I said, though, And again
28:59
Speaker 3: I understand because it is the easiest thing of well,
29:01
Speaker 3: that's the surefire thing. No, we all understand that doesn't
29:04
Speaker 3: happen in sports. But when you're talking about taking and
29:08
Speaker 3: adding an impact player or two, I don't know the
29:12
Speaker 3: organization has ever been as equipped to be able to
29:15
Speaker 3: do it, and also starting to maybe and I don't
29:19
Speaker 3: know how Marcantinassio thinks, but I do believe that as
29:23
Speaker 3: he continues to see the team get into the playoffs
29:25
Speaker 3: and get into the playoffs and get close and have
29:27
Speaker 3: those playoff revenues, Say, damn, Drew, if we ended up
29:32
Speaker 3: trading a couple of these prospects and I was able
29:33
Speaker 3: to get two more home games in those playoffs, three
29:36
Speaker 3: more home games, and two of them be at least
29:37
Speaker 3: a World Series game, I'll see and take the risks.
29:40
Speaker 2: So desperation.
29:42
Speaker 3: Sure, it hasn't been twenty six years since then since
29:44
Speaker 3: they've been to the playoffs, but it has been forty
29:48
Speaker 3: plus since they've been to the World Series. And we'll
29:49
Speaker 3: see if that desperation to get past the next ring
29:53
Speaker 3: on the postseason ladder creeps in. Because everybody wants to
29:57
Speaker 3: say it will. I would tend to believe at some
29:59
Speaker 3: point it will.
30:00
Speaker 1: But we'll see, because right now they have the most
30:04
Speaker 1: play regular season big league success to mirror the AMMO
30:09
Speaker 1: that they have to go and add something to Yeah,
30:11
Speaker 1: they've never been better equipped, never been better better equipped
30:14
Speaker 1: to go and to do what they want right they
30:18
Speaker 1: to If they wanted to take a swing at a
30:20
Speaker 1: Schooball rental, they could do it.
30:22
Speaker 2: They totally could.
30:23
Speaker 3: And it wouldn't break your organization right Like to me,
30:27
Speaker 3: the all injury wouldn't be all right, You're not offloading
30:30
Speaker 3: five of your top ten prospects here. No, they don't
30:32
Speaker 3: have a few really good ones away or three really
30:34
Speaker 3: good ones away.
30:35
Speaker 2: But that's it. That's true. There's no sense that they
30:36
Speaker 2: would mortgage any future. They're not.
30:38
Speaker 1: You have a lot of guys there, ye, I've seen
30:40
Speaker 1: Luis Lara play one game in the big leagues and
30:43
Speaker 1: I would put him in the untouchable him up.
30:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him. He's locked up. I mean he's not.
30:48
Speaker 2: He is not.
30:49
Speaker 1: Don't even think about it to don't even ask about
30:50
Speaker 1: him because I ain't moving him. Like and that's the
30:53
Speaker 1: thing is, Like if you wanted to get Schooble and
30:55
Speaker 1: they say, well, all right, we want Lara or there's
30:57
Speaker 1: no deal, well then there's no deal and we'll look
30:58
Speaker 1: for somebody else. Now we'll go find true that they
31:00
Speaker 1: have is that they're still winning at a clip that is.
31:03
Speaker 4: You know, I just wonder how many of those guys
31:05
Speaker 4: the Birds will say that about besides Laura.
31:07
Speaker 2: The thing is, well, and that's the thing.
31:09
Speaker 1: I'm not moving Cooper Pratt, Yeah, I'm not moving Jackson Curio,
31:13
Speaker 1: I'm not moving. There's guys that absolutely not. Now, what
31:16
Speaker 1: is Carrol a guy that you could move? And like
31:18
Speaker 1: maybe when Yelich steps aside and contrarass and by the way,
31:23
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez, I know he's taking some strays, but isn't
31:26
Speaker 1: he the perfect backup? Just a chill dude who everybody
31:29
Speaker 1: loves and you throw him out.
31:31
Speaker 2: There and challenges everything. He challenges every pitch, but he
31:33
Speaker 2: gets a couple of hits.
31:35
Speaker 1: He can play once a week and get a couple
31:36
Speaker 1: of knocks and just like you, just it's that people.
31:40
Speaker 2: Don't realize how hard that is when we talk to
31:41
Speaker 2: rock like.
31:42
Speaker 1: Next week, Well, no that's not easy, right, It's like,
31:46
Speaker 1: it's just it's wild.
31:47
Speaker 3: It's one of the tougher jobs in the game, Drew
31:49
Speaker 3: and like to not know when you can go in
31:51
Speaker 3: and then obviously have to be deployed at certain times.
31:54
Speaker 2: Uh.
31:55
Speaker 3: He also, from what I've heard, is one of the funniest,
31:57
Speaker 3: if not the funniest guy in the clubhouse. Like when
31:59
Speaker 3: you are going to be the backup catcher, then you
32:01
Speaker 3: do have to have another club in your bag, right,
32:03
Speaker 3: Like you have to have one of those in there.
32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's you. Continue beloved and just a guy
32:08
Speaker 2: that everybody's so.
32:10
Speaker 3: Again, Barrow is a fascinating one because we've heard about
32:12
Speaker 3: his name for a while, right. And then, like you,
32:15
Speaker 3: this is teams all will value certain prospects in the
32:19
Speaker 3: organization differently, like some folks. I don't know that there's many,
32:23
Speaker 3: but some folks might think Louis Payne is the best
32:26
Speaker 3: one or the most intriguing guy. Because of mode being
32:29
Speaker 3: off the table, some still might think it's Jefferson Carol
32:32
Speaker 3: because a couple of years ago he was the top
32:34
Speaker 3: one hundred guy and he's a catcher. And those guys
32:36
Speaker 3: don't just grow on trees. You have a number of them,
32:39
Speaker 3: and they know all of that. They should at least
32:42
Speaker 3: hopefully know all the certain buttons to push with different teams.
32:45
Speaker 3: But I think you're spot on with the You have
32:48
Speaker 3: full negotiating power here, totally Cause cool, all right, I
32:51
Speaker 3: don't need to go that that heavy for Terrek Scooble,
32:55
Speaker 3: but I have the ammunition to instead.
32:57
Speaker 2: I could take Casey Miis and Glaber Torres off your hands.
33:00
Speaker 3: Sure, but like I know that I have the ammunition
33:02
Speaker 3: to maybe grab two of your guys and get two
33:04
Speaker 3: players that can be impacting guys instead of just one
33:07
Speaker 3: that's rolling every five days. And you know, I don't
33:11
Speaker 3: I'm not casting any any aspersions at all. But like,
33:14
Speaker 3: no one here is really attached to Jet Williams, but
33:16
Speaker 3: he's a player that a lot of teams would love
33:17
Speaker 3: to have. Ye So okay, and it's like, well, we're
33:21
Speaker 3: not going to use this guy, but that's why you
33:23
Speaker 3: have him flip him for something else.
33:25
Speaker 2: Like, are you surprised he wasn't the call yesterday? And
33:27
Speaker 2: it was Greg Jones.
33:28
Speaker 1: Kind of thought it would be him because of the
33:30
Speaker 1: Hamilton and you need some infield back. But I was
33:34
Speaker 1: What surprised me was when Murphy said how much he
33:37
Speaker 1: loves Perk and he wasn't. I'll never send Perkins down
33:39
Speaker 1: until he sends him down, until he sends him down.
33:42
Speaker 1: Never just got a lot closer, didn't it.
33:44
Speaker 2: I was wondering the exact Well, I never.
33:46
Speaker 6: Said I'll send myself down before I said yeah, well,
33:52
Speaker 6: and then then I just watched Luis Laara have an
33:55
Speaker 6: impact on his first day in the big leagues, and
33:57
Speaker 6: you go, oh, thank.
33:58
Speaker 2: We could have done this six weeks ago. Yeah, gotta produce.
34:02
Speaker 1: But that's all right, though, you leave them in the
34:04
Speaker 1: incubator and let them you know, they're even more ready
34:06
Speaker 1: for prime.
34:07
Speaker 3: Well, and like, like we've said a number of times,
34:09
Speaker 3: and uh, I think you said it was gar that
34:11
Speaker 3: that gave you the words of advice. If you can't
34:15
Speaker 3: look at a guy, and you can't stand looking at
34:16
Speaker 3: a guy, give him another ten days, another week.
34:20
Speaker 1: Like people, he's falling down on people's list of but
34:23
Speaker 1: he's you know, like ten homers and he's in like
34:25
Speaker 1: two sixty five something like that, so it's not like
34:27
Speaker 1: he's a stiff. And he's twenty three twenty three, so
34:30
Speaker 1: he's just scratching the service of what he's gonna be.
34:32
Speaker 1: And he might be your backup catch next year. And
34:35
Speaker 1: you know, wild Bill's going to be expensive soon.
34:39
Speaker 3: We know this, so their future plans, they've got all
34:42
Speaker 3: of that stuff dialed in.
34:43
Speaker 1: I would assume that I was gonna say, it's like, okay, well,
34:46
Speaker 1: when Yelich's contract is over and we get out from
34:49
Speaker 1: under that, we give some money to Contraras, and then
34:51
Speaker 1: he becomes the yellis Dh veteran guy.
34:53
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
34:54
Speaker 1: He becomes Carol catches every day and he can catch
34:57
Speaker 1: it in an emergency. But he's our thing. Roll him
35:00
Speaker 1: through first base and make him the Yelich and let
35:02
Speaker 1: him d H. I don't know, or he could be
35:04
Speaker 1: Pad Rodriguez and catch till he's forty two.
35:06
Speaker 2: I don't Yeah.
35:07
Speaker 3: But also I think that bat will play, and at least,
35:09
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't just take family ties as everything.
35:13
Speaker 3: His brothers worked out pretty well at first base. Yeah,
35:15
Speaker 3: I mean he's worked out pretty well at first base
35:17
Speaker 3: and that right now. No, he's not good at brawls
35:21
Speaker 3: because he's faked tough in the brawls.
35:22
Speaker 2: He's getting in the brawls and getting suspended. But other
35:25
Speaker 2: than that, he's still hitting a nine to forty oh ps.
35:28
Speaker 3: So I mean, like, if, if, indeed I got to
35:29
Speaker 3: deal with a couple of ejactions and that's the numbers,
35:31
Speaker 3: I do it.
35:32
Speaker 2: I'm looking at that as well.
35:34
Speaker 1: Interesting times, interesting times with Brus. When we come back,
35:36
Speaker 1: we'll hear Hunter Bombguard's recap of the Brewers doubleheader sweep
35:40
Speaker 1: over the I always hated but never feared Saint Louis Cardios, who,
35:43
Speaker 1: by the way, I've lost seven of eight games against
35:45
Speaker 1: the Brewers this year, already won the season series with
35:48
Speaker 1: five games left.
35:49
Speaker 2: Light work. They've won the season series.
35:51
Speaker 1: And they've come back in the last play well in
35:52
Speaker 1: the division is something else like then They're they're rolling
35:56
Speaker 1: through pretty good. Yeah, times are good. Gotta say it's
35:59
Speaker 1: a good again. It's good Brewers fan.
36:01
Speaker 2: It's fun. It really is.
36:03
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven's hot te comp day. We got
36:06
Speaker 1: Dolph lined up to join us at six twenty five.

36:42
Speaker 2: All right.
36:43
Speaker 1: We been talking Brewers obviously because it's it's a joyous
36:47
Speaker 1: time to be a Brewers fan. The fastest ever to
36:49
Speaker 1: twenty five games over five hundred and franchise history a lot.
36:53
Speaker 1: But I was gonna say, by like a wide, wide
36:55
Speaker 1: margin at Tener eleven games, and that was last year.
36:58
Speaker 1: Was when they said it, I like breaking your own record.
37:00
Speaker 1: Everything you can, you know, if you want to fantasize,
37:04
Speaker 1: we can. It seems like it's too distant to think
37:06
Speaker 1: about what can happen, like in October dreaming of World
37:09
Speaker 1: Series and playoff success, and we know how tenuous that
37:12
Speaker 1: is and what a roller coaster that is. But Brewers
37:15
Speaker 1: have never won a hundred games, and they're lining up
37:19
Speaker 1: to where that's a possibility right now, they're staring down
37:21
Speaker 1: the barrel of it that's a possibility and winning a
37:23
Speaker 1: hundred game. I remember a certain radio show, pretty Smart One.
37:26
Speaker 1: I enjoy listening to it quite often, mentioning and remarking
37:30
Speaker 1: earlier this year that, like, it feels like the Brewers
37:33
Speaker 1: will be better than last.
37:34
Speaker 3: Year, and they might not have a better record, right
37:36
Speaker 3: they might not have a better record, however, Drew now
37:39
Speaker 3: they they I think they are a better baseball like.
37:41
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty clear they're better than they were
37:43
Speaker 3: a year ago, and they might have a better record,
37:46
Speaker 3: so they might.
37:47
Speaker 2: Just shut might be both.
37:48
Speaker 1: Let's listen to a Hunter bomb Guard's recap of yesterday's
37:51
Speaker 1: doubleheader sweep in Saint Louis.
37:54
Speaker 5: Take it away, Hunter, Thanks guys, I think that doubleheader
37:58
Speaker 5: went about as well as you could have asked for
37:59
Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday, sweeping the two games in Saint
38:02
Speaker 5: Louis four to three in Game one, ten to two,
38:05
Speaker 5: in Game two. Brewers have now won seven straight against
38:07
Speaker 5: the Cardinals this year. They've already clinched the season series.
38:10
Speaker 5: They're seven to one against the Red Birds in twenty
38:13
Speaker 5: twenty six, and they just keep rolling. They've won four
38:15
Speaker 5: games overall in a row. They're fifty eight and thirty three,
38:18
Speaker 5: a season high twenty five games over five hundred. They're
38:21
Speaker 5: creeping up on the Dodgers in the NL. They're now
38:23
Speaker 5: putting some distance between them and the Braves for the
38:27
Speaker 5: race for the buy. I mean, this team is just
38:29
Speaker 5: rolling guys. And really the starting pitching was the huge
38:33
Speaker 5: key to the Brewers sweep of the doubleheader, because of course,
38:36
Speaker 5: going into a double header, you know you're going to
38:38
Speaker 5: be pitching, well, not when your starters go seven plus
38:41
Speaker 5: Misroowski seven innings, three earned runs, no walks, eleven k's
38:44
Speaker 5: in Game one, Robert Gasser with arguably the best start
38:47
Speaker 5: of his major league career seven to two thirds, two
38:49
Speaker 5: earned runs in Game two, and then the offense providing
38:52
Speaker 5: some big insurance runs in that seventh inning in Game two,
38:55
Speaker 5: being able to pull away and only use one bullpen
38:57
Speaker 5: arm in Game two, Craig Yoho getting the final four outs.
39:01
Speaker 5: They used Ashby in Rebay in Game one, but only
39:03
Speaker 5: three arms out of the bullpen used in the double adder.
39:06
Speaker 5: I think the Brewers would have signed up for that
39:08
Speaker 5: to begin the day. Also, Yelich with a three for
39:10
Speaker 5: five day in game one. Obviously Game two was not
39:14
Speaker 5: as great for him, but Game one that was really good.
39:17
Speaker 2: To see three for five.
39:18
Speaker 5: Murph saying after Game one that Yelich came to the
39:21
Speaker 5: ballpark at seven thirty am on a doubleheader day because
39:25
Speaker 5: he just cares so much. He's taking that burden on
39:29
Speaker 5: of not producing as well as he has wanted to,
39:33
Speaker 5: not putting up the numbers he put up last year,
39:35
Speaker 5: and that shows how much he cares, said Pat Murphy.
39:38
Speaker 5: So really really good quote from Murphy yesterday after Game one.
39:41
Speaker 5: But otherwise, the Brewers keep rolling Game four of the
39:46
Speaker 5: five game series Tonight, Kyle Heerson on the Mount, I'll
39:48
Speaker 5: have you for the baseball pre game show at five
39:49
Speaker 5: thirty on Fox Sports nine twenty in Milwaukee, and of
39:52
Speaker 5: course our social channels. This report brought to you buying
39:55
Speaker 5: import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle care on
39:57
Speaker 5: Sound twenty seventh, just north of eight ninety four.
40:00
Speaker 2: To you guys, thank you, Hunter B. That's awesome. The
40:05
Speaker 2: Yelich thing. I love the tidbit.
40:07
Speaker 3: I I don't know, Drew, you you've been in the
40:11
Speaker 3: baseball world for for a long time.
40:14
Speaker 2: These dudes like live at the stadium.
40:16
Speaker 3: When when you show up for a night game, that's
40:19
Speaker 3: the first pitch at seven o'clock, like somewhat routinely at
40:22
Speaker 3: like one or two in the afternoon. It just never
40:25
Speaker 3: it never ceases to amaze me how much time these
40:27
Speaker 3: guys actually spend at the stadium. But when you're gonna
40:30
Speaker 3: be there all damn day to try to get some
40:32
Speaker 3: extra work in, Uh, it is impressive. Hunter mentioned it there,
40:35
Speaker 3: and you did as well about them already winning the
40:38
Speaker 3: season series against the Saint Louis Cardinals.
40:40
Speaker 2: Check this out.
40:41
Speaker 3: Brewers have the best intern best record against their own
40:45
Speaker 3: division in baseball at eighteen and six. They have the
40:49
Speaker 3: best win loss against their own division, better than any
40:53
Speaker 3: other team. The next closest would be the Rays, who
40:55
Speaker 3: are dominating the American League East at eighteen and seven.
40:59
Speaker 2: But uh, that's some daddy stuff right there.
41:01
Speaker 3: As everybody staring up at you just saying I'm sorry,
41:04
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Just kiss the ring and walk out at
41:06
Speaker 3: that point in time.
41:07
Speaker 1: All Right, five o'clock clubbers, we love you early risers,
41:11
Speaker 1: insomniac sociopaths.
41:13
