- 1:34Speaker 2: Drew, Billy and Arman bringing it to you and boys.
- 1:37Speaker 7: Before we let the draft the glow of the draft
- 1:40Speaker 7: get away, we had to bring our buddy rob Rieger
- 1:43Speaker 7: back to the party. He joins us now time and
- 1:46Speaker 7: Reeg's welcome back. And I gotta say, congratulations, knows Thomas.
- 1:50Speaker 7: You did pick the Packers first pick this year, Brandon Ceesay. Now,
- 1:55Speaker 7: others had mentioned his name as well, but you were
- 1:58Speaker 7: on it. That was the guy you wanted them to take.
- 2:00Speaker 7: And as a gooty I would say you're not exactly
- 2:03Speaker 7: a gooty.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Stand Antagonists would be the best play.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Yeah, antagonist.
- 2:08Speaker 7: What did you think of the Packers six selections and
- 2:11Speaker 7: the way they maneuvered the draft, because my the first
- 2:14Speaker 7: word I came up with was logical. Everything they did
- 2:17Speaker 7: seemed logical, which is not usually the way the Packers go.
- 2:20Speaker 1: To me. It's very it was very meticulous the way
- 2:23Speaker 1: that they did things. It's almost like they just had
- 2:25Speaker 1: a kind of a game plan going in and they
- 2:27Speaker 1: executed it. I mean, if just my personal opinion, I
- 2:30Speaker 1: feel at CSA and Dennis Sulton were the two best picks.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty h popular amongst the crowd out there.
- 2:37Speaker 1: As far as other things go, Christmas Clones is definitely
- 2:40Speaker 1: going to slot in to be He's gonna play a lot.
- 2:42Speaker 1: He's nose tackle and we need one of those as well.
- 2:46Speaker 1: After that, I don't know, like, like you do you
- 2:49Speaker 1: really want to strade up for a kicker that play
- 2:51Speaker 1: that Florida? I mean, I guess he's from the North,
- 2:54Speaker 1: but I mean he kicked in college. Most of the
- 2:56Speaker 1: film on him is all warm weather, so we'll see
- 3:00Speaker 1: how he adapts. And it also was kind of curious
- 3:02Speaker 1: that they just had given Brandon McManus a new contract
- 3:05Speaker 1: with a pretty sizable bonus and then drafted the kicker
- 3:10Speaker 1: in the sixth round for that, So I guess that
- 3:12Speaker 1: was curious.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Go ahead, Yeah, when you when you lose a playoff
- 3:15Speaker 4: game and you leave seven points on the board, there
- 3:17Speaker 4: was definitely going to be somebody.
- 3:18Speaker 2: That came in for that.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, at least at least to bring in
- 3:22Speaker 1: some competition. I was a little surprised. I mean, I
- 3:25Speaker 1: think I believe he was the only I believe he
- 3:28Speaker 1: was the only kicker draft in the draft. So, I mean,
- 3:33Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen Smack play. He's a good player,
- 3:35Speaker 1: There's no question about it. He's going to definitely give
- 3:38Speaker 1: Brandon McManus a run for his money. But overall, I
- 3:42Speaker 1: kind of agree with you. I was very shocked that
- 3:44Speaker 1: they only had eight six picks. I thought maybe that
- 3:48Speaker 1: Goody was going to maneuver the board a little more.
- 3:50Speaker 1: In fact, you trade up twice instead of trading back.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Well, and that's where I kind of liked it.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Rob When you look back in totality, when when the
- 3:58Speaker 4: overwhelming set intimate from everybody covering or watching it is
- 4:03Speaker 4: it's an underwhelming draft. There's not that many great players.
- 4:07Speaker 4: It's more of a depth draft, and the good one
- 4:09Speaker 4: will be next year. There was nobody on day three
- 4:12Speaker 4: that to my knowledge, that was trading anything in twenty
- 4:16Speaker 4: seven to move up into twenty six.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Right.
- 4:18Speaker 4: A lot of times, especially even into the seventh round,
- 4:21Speaker 4: you'll see guys trade a sixth next year to get
- 4:23Speaker 4: into the seventh round and grab somebody, or a seventh
- 4:25Speaker 4: next year to swap in here. Nobody was doing any
- 4:28Speaker 4: of that. They were con fully protecting that twenty twenty
- 4:31Speaker 4: seven capital. And if you didn't think there were a
- 4:34Speaker 4: ton of great players, don't just bring in a bunch
- 4:37Speaker 4: of random bodies. If you think that you can have
- 4:39Speaker 4: more of an impact.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I'm with you.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Dennis Sunnon's gonna play, and he's probably gonna play a
- 4:43Speaker 4: decent amount because he feels like a perfect pairing or
- 4:47Speaker 4: a perfect insertion after you lose Kingsley and Nibari last
- 4:51Speaker 4: year to somebody who can play at worse thirty percent
- 4:54Speaker 4: of the snaps they're at edge rusher, he is.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Definitely, I mean, that was kind of what I was envisioning,
- 4:59Speaker 1: is kind of that role that inning bar I had
- 5:01Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit of an extension on that.
- 5:04Speaker 1: The one thing that we don't know is we don't
- 5:05Speaker 1: know Michael Parson's health. At this point, we know that
- 5:07Speaker 1: he's recovering, but we don't know if he's going to
- 5:09Speaker 1: be ready at the beginning of the regular season or not.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I guess we're hopeful that that happens, but you never
- 5:16Speaker 1: really know. So I was actually surprised that they didn't
- 5:18Speaker 1: take an edge in that third round. But then I
- 5:21Speaker 1: was very very excited to see that they got the
- 5:23Speaker 1: guy that I wanted them to take in round three
- 5:25Speaker 1: in round four, So that, at least, in my opinion,
- 5:28Speaker 1: was probably one of the best values of the draft
- 5:31Speaker 1: is getting a guy at one twenty that a lot
- 5:33Speaker 1: of people had ranked top sixty. I mean I had
- 5:37Speaker 1: him certainly as like a second or third round pick,
- 5:39Speaker 1: So I was very happy.
- 5:40Speaker 4: To see that well, and they were talking about even
- 5:42Speaker 4: going up and trading up for Dennis Sutton on Friday night,
- 5:45Speaker 4: training back into the third round, and then all of
- 5:46Speaker 4: a sudden he falls into their lap.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Drew it picked. Well, that's why it worked out. They
- 5:50Speaker 2: had to be smiling with that.
- 5:52Speaker 7: Rob Riger joining us here at NFL Draft Leaks on
- 5:54Speaker 7: the X also working with Cheeshead TV on.
- 5:57Speaker 2: The Draft Guy and Pack of Day podcast. All Right, so,
- 6:00Speaker 2: which of the.
- 6:02Speaker 7: Picks Jagger Burton or Domini Jackson. Which guy has a
- 6:06Speaker 7: higher ceiling for you? Which was the higher rated prospect
- 6:09Speaker 7: for you?
- 6:10Speaker 1: Devonni Jackson is an interesting study and I'll be very
- 6:13Speaker 1: interested to see what happened with him. He came out
- 6:15Speaker 1: of When he came out of high school, he was
- 6:17Speaker 1: a number two recruit in the country. The only guy
- 6:20Speaker 1: that was ahead of him was Travis Hunter in that
- 6:22Speaker 1: draft class. He went to USC for two years and
- 6:24Speaker 1: they went to Alabama for two years. Got benched about
- 6:27Speaker 1: midway through last year, so that was kind of like
- 6:31Speaker 1: what went on, So, I mean, there was some background
- 6:33Speaker 1: that needs to be done there. But he had a
- 6:35Speaker 1: really solid junior year. He was convening almost like a
- 6:38Speaker 1: fringe first second rounder going into a senior year. Got
- 6:41Speaker 1: benched halfway through and kind of fell down the draft.
- 6:43Speaker 1: But he's certainly a talented player. He was a five
- 6:46Speaker 1: star recruit coming out of high school. He has good size,
- 6:49Speaker 1: so you know, I feel, from just a strictly upside factor,
- 6:53Speaker 1: Domoni Jackson was a great pick at that point. Jager
- 6:56Speaker 1: Burton is what he is. He's a tough guy. He's
- 6:58Speaker 1: going to mix it up. It probably if somebody hits
- 7:01Speaker 1: the quarterback late, he'll be leading the charge to, you know,
- 7:04Speaker 1: take out the guy that did that. So he's kind
- 7:07Speaker 1: of it's just kind of one of those enforcer type
- 7:09Speaker 1: of guys. I feel we need it. Maybe a little
- 7:12Speaker 1: toughness and a little I guess piss and vinegar would
- 7:15Speaker 1: be the some of my dad might say in the
- 7:18Speaker 1: offensive line, and he definitely brings that element.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Well, he's also going to have a chance to compete,
- 7:24Speaker 4: right because I mean, like Aaron Banks left obviously a
- 7:26Speaker 4: lot to be desired and has a good contract, He's
- 7:28Speaker 4: gonna get a leg up and Sean Ryan getting a
- 7:30Speaker 4: chance as well. But there's definitely going to be competition there.
- 7:33Speaker 4: And to think that Anthony Belton, especially the slender version
- 7:37Speaker 4: now of Anthony Belton, I wonder if that potentially changes
- 7:40Speaker 4: up the mathematics on the inside. But that was clearly
- 7:43Speaker 4: an issue from last year, not only when Booker takes
- 7:46Speaker 4: Jordan Love's head off in the Chicago game, but the
- 7:48Speaker 4: one that was even more glaring was the Hufunga hit
- 7:51Speaker 4: into in Denver where a legit bounces Jordan Love's head
- 7:55Speaker 4: off the ground like a basketball. Somebody needs to be
- 7:57Speaker 4: able to go over and clear that up, and I'm
- 7:58Speaker 4: glad that Burton is going to be that guy. You
- 8:01Speaker 4: mentioned McClellan a little earlier, and he's a big, physical
- 8:04Speaker 4: guy that can slide up and down the defensive line
- 8:08Speaker 4: and also played against SEC competition. That was the easiest
- 8:13Speaker 4: takeaway from this draft was there's a separation now between
- 8:17Speaker 4: the Big ten and the SEC. There are plenty of
- 8:19Speaker 4: guys from the ACC taken definitely Big twelve guys, but
- 8:22Speaker 4: sixty percent of the players from those two schools. And
- 8:25Speaker 4: if I'm gonna grab somebody that I anticipate rob is
- 8:28Speaker 4: going to have to play snaps right away, I like
- 8:31Speaker 4: it to be from the SEC on that defensive line.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he's a two year starter there. I mean,
- 8:36Speaker 1: he started out kind of slow, but he came on
- 8:38Speaker 1: strong at the end. He had six sex from the
- 8:39Speaker 1: nose tackle position, which is pretty rare at any level,
- 8:43Speaker 1: especially in the SEC and against six X, so he
- 8:46Speaker 1: has a little wiggle. My only concern with that is
- 8:48Speaker 1: I thought it was a little bit early. I had
- 8:50Speaker 1: like a fourth or a fifth round great on him,
- 8:53Speaker 1: but I mean, who knows. I mean, he could outperform
- 8:55Speaker 1: that for surely. I mean it's not an exact science,
- 8:57Speaker 1: but I was curious to kind of, you know, maybe
- 9:00Speaker 1: talk about her gets you your guys opinion about this
- 9:02Speaker 1: whole analytics thing that's going on. The Jaguars have been
- 9:05Speaker 1: taking a huge They've been taking it hard and in
- 9:10Speaker 1: the press and everything like that because they go with
- 9:12Speaker 1: the analytics approach and kind of like the hell with
- 9:15Speaker 1: the consensus out there, and they don't care what anybody
- 9:18Speaker 1: else thinks. They just use their computers to spit out
- 9:20Speaker 1: the players. And there's been this big argument about what's
- 9:24Speaker 1: the worse because they, I mean, the Jaguars, in my opinion,
- 9:26Speaker 1: had a horrible draft. They drafted a tight end that
- 9:29Speaker 1: has played fifty two games and he has thirty eight
- 9:32Speaker 1: catches in those fifty two games, and he's turning twenty
- 9:34Speaker 1: five in September. With their set with their first pick,
- 9:37Speaker 1: which would have been second round pick from Texas A
- 9:40Speaker 1: and M. I mean, when you play fifty two games
- 9:42Speaker 1: and you have thirty eight catches over six years of college,
- 9:46Speaker 1: that's not a second round pick to me, I don't
- 9:47Speaker 1: care how good you are.
- 9:48Speaker 6: Well, I think it's interesting because what is analytics, right?
- 9:51Speaker 6: I think it's what analytics are they looking at. It's
- 9:54Speaker 6: not as simple as just saying the word as a
- 9:56Speaker 6: buzzword because all analytics are as data and all data
- 9:58Speaker 6: is information. So every t is using quote unquote analytics,
- 10:01Speaker 6: but what are they using for? I mean ris scores?
- 10:04Speaker 6: An analytics team though to predict Yeah, and in this
- 10:09Speaker 6: business of predicting humans performance, it's hard to do. It's
- 10:13Speaker 6: an inexact science. So there's always going to be a
- 10:15Speaker 6: team saying we got to find an edge of everybody else.
- 10:17Speaker 6: Let's try and find this standard metric we can we
- 10:20Speaker 6: can measure with an objective measure, and that that's theirs.
- 10:23Speaker 6: Whether or not it will work remains to be seen,
- 10:25Speaker 6: but yeah, it's it's an interesting process.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point over that you bring that up,
- 10:32Speaker 1: because I mean you do it's it's you know these
- 10:34Speaker 1: predictive models like okay, as well, if you did this
- 10:36Speaker 1: in college at this college, you have these kind of
- 10:39Speaker 1: athletics scores, you did this, that or the other thing,
- 10:41Speaker 1: then plug it into a program, it spits out, Okay, Well,
- 10:43Speaker 1: we feel that this is going to be long term
- 10:46Speaker 1: the best player. I just don't know of a predictive
- 10:48Speaker 1: model that would put a twenty five year old rookie
- 10:52Speaker 1: with less than one catch per game, Like, what would
- 10:55Speaker 1: they be using now we put that player ahead of
- 10:57Speaker 1: some other other things. I don't know. I mean, it's
- 10:59Speaker 1: a decent athlete. He wasn't a great athlete. He wasn't
- 11:03Speaker 1: like the top maybe twenty percent I think I look
- 11:06Speaker 1: at eight res or something like that, but I mean
- 11:08Speaker 1: it wasn't that high and definitely not worthy about second round.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting.
- 11:12Speaker 6: I mean it'd be interesting to know what exactly that
- 11:14Speaker 6: their formula is or what they were going to use,
- 11:16Speaker 6: and then go back to it in five years, because
- 11:18Speaker 6: with anything else, I'm sure the results will be mixed.
- 11:21Speaker 2: I mean that's how usually goes in these things.
- 11:22Speaker 7: So, Riggs, while we're you know, laser focused on the Packers,
- 11:26Speaker 7: what did you think of what the other teams in
- 11:28Speaker 7: the division did? Because I think Billy had some fomo,
- 11:31Speaker 7: you know, the Bretison kid and some other kids going
- 11:34Speaker 7: in the division.
- 11:35Speaker 2: You what did you think of the Vikings, Bears and
- 11:38Speaker 2: Lions draft efforts?
- 11:40Speaker 1: Well, I mean, out of I thought the Chicago Bears
- 11:44Speaker 1: actually had some curious selections. I mean they picked a
- 11:47Speaker 1: tight end pretty pretty high in the draft, and you know,
- 11:50Speaker 1: I thought that they're pretty set it to the tight
- 11:52Speaker 1: end position, they didn't need to really do that. They
- 11:55Speaker 1: also picked a wide receiver that I didn't even have
- 11:58Speaker 1: a ranked in my top twenty FIDE receivers relatively high.
- 12:02Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, I mean, I think Minnesota probably
- 12:06Speaker 1: did the best out of ours, but I mean it wasn't.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I mean, I just wanted to give kind of a
- 12:10Speaker 1: shout out to the to the Miami Dolphins. John Eric
- 12:12Speaker 1: Sullivan is a guy that you know, has been working
- 12:14Speaker 1: for the Packers forever and he finally had his opportunity.
- 12:17Speaker 1: He made thirteen picks, So you always have to think about, Okay,
- 12:21Speaker 1: so if he's Goody's right hand man for all these years,
- 12:23Speaker 1: Goody's scales back and the Packers only have six picks,
- 12:26Speaker 1: he goes to Miami, next thing, you know, he has thirteen.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Maybe he had a lot of say in some of
- 12:31Speaker 1: that stuff for maybe there's some disagreements in that in
- 12:34Speaker 1: that draft room. Because I was very very impressed with
- 12:36Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. I was very very impressed the New
- 12:40Speaker 1: York Giants. Believe it or not, some of these teams
- 12:41Speaker 1: that like you don't really see them near the top
- 12:44Speaker 1: Cleveland and the Raiders or other teams, so we'll see.
- 12:47Speaker 1: I mean, it could be a turning of the tie.
- 12:49Speaker 1: And it could be just that those teams were so
- 12:50Speaker 1: bad that they had the top picks of every round
- 12:53Speaker 1: and they're able to do that. But you know, it's
- 12:56Speaker 1: it's just kind of funny just to kind of look
- 12:58Speaker 1: at this whole thing and just to analyze it. But
- 13:00Speaker 1: I mean, I thought the Bears did not do very well,
- 13:03Speaker 1: but who knows. I mean, I don't grade drafts guys,
- 13:05Speaker 1: believe it or not, until the third year. I don't.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even consider it. I don't
- 13:09Speaker 1: give a draft grade, especially now with the NIL and
- 13:13Speaker 1: the COVID. COVID is the big thing is because you
- 13:16Speaker 1: think this guy's twenty five, twenty six years old entering
- 13:19Speaker 1: the draft, and a guy like c is only twenty.
- 13:22Speaker 1: So you're talking about guys legitimately there are five years
- 13:25Speaker 1: older than Brandon Seesa coming in at the same time.
- 13:28Speaker 1: So it's really really difficult to from right from the
- 13:31Speaker 1: jump to evaluate these guys. But really like that third
- 13:34Speaker 1: year is the one where I'm like, Okay, can this
- 13:36Speaker 1: guy play it?
- 13:36Speaker 2: Un especially when they're the variants in ages that wide.
- 13:40Speaker 2: That's interesting.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:43Speaker 7: So Rig's like, I know you don't give the draft grades,
- 13:46Speaker 7: but a lot of the national guys are. Sam Packer's like, yeah,
- 13:48Speaker 7: C plus, But it just did seem when you only
- 13:51Speaker 7: have six picks, there's less margin for error and no
- 13:55Speaker 7: first round pick.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Yeah, if you don't know a first rounder ahead.
- 14:00Speaker 7: Okay, But given the Packers history of undrafted free agents
- 14:03Speaker 7: and dipping into that pool and finding gems, is there
- 14:07Speaker 7: a chance that an undrafted free agent, I do only
- 14:10Speaker 7: makes a team but vaults past guys taken in the
- 14:13Speaker 7: fifth and fourth rounds?
- 14:15Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think there's always a chance.
- 14:17Speaker 1: I think the Packers I don't. I don't know exactly
- 14:19Speaker 1: what the streak is. Billy might know that, but the
- 14:22Speaker 1: streak of years where the Packers have had an undrafted player,
- 14:26Speaker 1: uh make the team, I'm not. I'm not sure if
- 14:29Speaker 1: that's gonna happen this year.
- 14:30Speaker 4: I was.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Every year you kind of
- 14:33Speaker 1: root for these guys. These are kind of the lesser
- 14:35Speaker 1: known guys that that that people don't really know a
- 14:38Speaker 1: whole lot of. But I mean, at the end of
- 14:41Speaker 1: the day, I would say that the kyrone drones probably
- 14:44Speaker 1: has the best shot. He's a quarter a quarterback out
- 14:47Speaker 1: of Virginia Tech. There's not a real strong I was
- 14:51Speaker 1: kind of expecting them to take a quarterback at some
- 14:54Speaker 1: point in the draft. But there's also you know, a
- 14:56Speaker 1: couple of really good athletes. TJ. Quinn out of Louisville
- 14:59Speaker 1: was a guy who had a very high resk. Or
- 15:01Speaker 1: John Gesky out of Illinois was another undrafted guy. If
- 15:05Speaker 1: you really want to dig deep on this, that I
- 15:06Speaker 1: think has an opportunity to stick on the team, at
- 15:08Speaker 1: least for death purposes. So that's kind of that's kind
- 15:11Speaker 1: of where I sit on that. But it's fun to watch,
- 15:15Speaker 1: like it's kind of you know, you get those lesser guys.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's almost better to not get drafted where you can
- 15:19Speaker 1: pick your team than it is to be like a
- 15:21Speaker 1: seventh round pick and be very yeah.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:25Speaker 7: Twenty one years in a row, Packers have had an
- 15:27Speaker 7: undrafted free edging on the fifty three line.
- 15:30Speaker 2: The line of succession of those guys, Emmanuel Wilson sam
- 15:33Speaker 2: Shields is the top of it. That's the star of
- 15:35Speaker 2: the Chris Barnes, sam Shields, Don Barclay and Lane Taylor
- 15:40Speaker 2: and guys like that. So that played well for a while. Yeah, Yeah,
- 15:43Speaker 2: so that's they'll be dipping into that Manuel Wilson as well. Yeah.
- 15:47Speaker 7: And in this draft though, those guys, the separation between
- 15:50Speaker 7: those guys in a fifth round pick isn't that great, right, Riggs?
- 15:53Speaker 2: Just the way this draft shook out, No, not not
- 15:55Speaker 2: at all.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I felt that this draft overall, it didn't have the
- 15:58Speaker 1: star power, so people weren't as I did about it
- 16:00Speaker 1: is maybe some other years, and especially for next year.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I mean you're looking at names that people know, like
- 16:05Speaker 1: Arch Manning, and you're looking at CJ. Carr potentially from
- 16:07Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Jeremiah Smith is going to be eligible next year,
- 16:11Speaker 1: Dante more so. I mean, it didn't have the star
- 16:13Speaker 1: power of maybe drafts pass, but I felt it was
- 16:15Speaker 1: really deep. I mean, the Packers got a guy in
- 16:18Speaker 1: the undrafted, this guy j Michael Sturtoman from Florida, who
- 16:22Speaker 1: I felt was right in line with some of the
- 16:24Speaker 1: guys that were drafted in the fifth, sixth, seventh round.
- 16:26Speaker 1: So he's another guy that has an opportunity to stick.
- 16:29Speaker 1: He's sixty three two OL seven ran a four to
- 16:31Speaker 1: four from Florida, so I think overall it's going to
- 16:35Speaker 1: be a great competition in camp for the packers for sure.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm interested a lot of opportunities.
- 16:41Speaker 7: Rob Damowski, who loves him some kicking stats and charting
- 16:46Speaker 7: punts and kicks.
- 16:47Speaker 2: He's going to be all over that we get another
- 16:49Speaker 2: one this year. Yeah.
- 16:50Speaker 1: The only the only person that has to be blocked
- 16:52Speaker 1: on Twitter, by the way, in the entire world. Yeah,
- 16:56Speaker 1: he's the only person.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Classic.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Wow, he's the only And I and I didn't even
- 17:01Speaker 1: I didn't think. I've been way worse with my criticism
- 17:04Speaker 1: of other people. And you know, I don't know, man,
- 17:07Speaker 1: he wasn't hilarious.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Hey, maybe you can repair the relationship one day, you
- 17:13Speaker 2: never know.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Yeah, reaching out to people, let me back, don't give up.
- 17:18Speaker 2: You never know. Hey, Riggs, thanks for joining us for
- 17:20Speaker 2: the recap. We appreciate it.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Awesome, guys. Thanks a lot, and have a great day.
- 17:25Speaker 1: You love the show, guys. You guys are also thank you.
- 17:29Speaker 7: Rob Rieger your draft go to guy. He spends a
- 17:32Speaker 7: lot of time on it. So just Billy sos Wayne
- 17:34Speaker 7: Larvy spends it's his passion.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Yeah, and listen not to hobby And now you got
- 17:38Speaker 4: to start getting in there for twenty twenty seven. Now
- 17:40Speaker 4: you started taking in on the film and and and
- 17:42Speaker 4: start rolling through into twenty and he's.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Already working on that.
- 17:45Speaker 4: Maybe you take a break like this is this is
- 17:47Speaker 4: like the time when somebody immediately after the Super Bowl
- 17:50Speaker 4: dan Orlowski said something like, I just started watching the
- 17:52Speaker 4: film on uh friend Ana Windows.
- 17:55Speaker 3: This is what's wrong.
- 17:56Speaker 4: This is what's wrong with these insiders, these people on
- 17:59Speaker 4: television that they're not in and just watching the guys
- 18:02Speaker 4: number one in the draft.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Well, touch grass just then, we still got some time.
- 18:08Speaker 2: We got wenty of time.
- 18:08Speaker 3: That's the problem with our society.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Touch some grass, Grassy.
- 18:14Speaker 7: He's hot, who's not brought just by Donovan Jorgenson heating
- 18:16Speaker 7: and cooling? This marre coming kid from White Sox is
- 18:20Speaker 7: twelfth Homer. He's got twelve extra base its all of
- 18:23Speaker 7: them have left the yard.
- 18:24Speaker 3: It's amazing, it's it's a he's a three t O.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Guy didn't get hotter than him?
- 18:28Speaker 4: And how on earth did nobody else try to sign
- 18:31Speaker 4: the guy to the point where he was able to
- 18:33Speaker 4: go to the White Sox.
- 18:34Speaker 2: A great break for the White Sox, not that they
- 18:36Speaker 2: didn't deserve one.
- 18:37Speaker 3: I meant they gotta put it on their media guy
- 18:40Speaker 3: next year. Put up back. We did something right. So
- 18:42Speaker 3: we have one right here, right here, that's something right.
- 18:45Speaker 7: Not a Jorgenson employee owned for forty years year go
- 18:48Speaker 7: to for uh H vac needs and Billy, you got
- 18:51Speaker 7: somebody who for who's not?
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a couple for who's not. One more
- 18:55Speaker 2: for who's hot?
- 18:55Speaker 4: We mentioned Judge on the power uh straight for the Yankees,
- 18:59Speaker 4: what about Ben their their young first baseman catcher.
- 19:02Speaker 2: He's got ten as well to pair in there.
- 19:05Speaker 7: For the for the digit homers a month into the season,
- 19:10Speaker 7: it's pretty impressive. Well, who's not is the large man
- 19:12Speaker 7: that stole the ball from the bait from the young child.
- 19:14Speaker 7: That would be the easiest one for who's not in
- 19:17Speaker 7: that category? And who's not the Detroit Pistons one game
- 19:21Speaker 7: away from elimination Drew. We wait and salivate for somebody
- 19:25Speaker 7: to be the dog of the NBA playoffs, And it
- 19:28Speaker 7: feels like Jalen Duran is that guy was an All
- 19:32Speaker 7: Star this year twelve points again last night he ended
- 19:36Speaker 7: up being a twenty point a game guy. And he
- 19:39Speaker 7: had the most in the series last night that he
- 19:41Speaker 7: has had with twelve getting absolutely dominated.
- 19:45Speaker 6: There are the Detroit Bisinons. They try to keep their
- 19:48Speaker 6: hell of a sixty wins series season alive. Coming up
- 19:50Speaker 6: this week when we come back, Hunter Bombgart is going
- 19:53Speaker 6: to join the party. We'll get the lowdown on the
- 19:55Speaker 6: Brewers coming off an off day and facing the Diamondbacks.

- 20:49Speaker 7: today eight seven seven seven nine four one seven three.
- 20:52Speaker 2: He dialed it you can as well, Yeah, Texas as well.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Good morning, Hunter. How's it going. It's up June.
- 20:58Speaker 6: Good.
- 20:59Speaker 5: Yeah. Thrown it back to the you know, old fashioned
- 21:02Speaker 5: way of communication here with the telephone. So like that,
- 21:05Speaker 5: we you know, pay homage to the telephone.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Here this morning.
- 21:08Speaker 7: I just want to make sure that you have you
- 21:10Speaker 7: have power because I you know, I couldn't do a
- 21:12Speaker 7: zoom call so I didn't have power today.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Do you have power?
- 21:16Speaker 5: Have power? So that is that is not the issue. Thankfully,
- 21:20Speaker 5: do have power, but I know a lot didn't last
- 21:22Speaker 5: night and don't this morning. Drew, were you one of those?
- 21:25Speaker 2: No, Billy was sadly this guy was Billy Billy. We'll
- 21:29Speaker 2: figure it out, though.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Listen at one point, at one point, I'm gonna actually
- 21:33Speaker 4: don't generate this thing.
- 21:34Speaker 2: But well, we'll figure it out.
- 21:35Speaker 4: We need more power for this Brewers offense though, because frankly,
- 21:39Speaker 4: the power outage for the Brewers offense is quite staggering
- 21:44Speaker 4: right now. Not only the highest ground ball rate I
- 21:47Speaker 4: think in all of baseball, but haven't had a homer
- 21:50Speaker 4: in over a week.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Yeah, there at ground ball rate coming into Sunday was
- 21:57Speaker 5: fifty two percent. So you think about that, more than
- 22:00Speaker 5: half of the balls that are put in plenty our
- 22:03Speaker 5: ground balls, and that's just not going to win you
- 22:05Speaker 5: a lot of games on the offensive side. Do you
- 22:07Speaker 5: relying heavily then on the pitching side of things to
- 22:10Speaker 5: do what Kyle Harrison did on Sunday? But yeah, longest
- 22:13Speaker 5: streak without a home run since nineteen ninety nine, it is. Look,
- 22:17Speaker 5: the Brewers are not going to be a team that's
- 22:19Speaker 5: in the top ten probably in home runs. We knew
- 22:21Speaker 5: that coming into the season. However, in order to be
- 22:25Speaker 5: a viable offense, I would think you'll need to be
- 22:28Speaker 5: I mean at least top twenty, top fifteen would probably
- 22:31Speaker 5: be preferable, right in the top half of the league.
- 22:34Speaker 5: But right now they're bottom twenty. I mean, they're right
- 22:37Speaker 5: around twenty five, I believe looking at the entire Major
- 22:40Speaker 5: League Baseball home run leaderboard. So yeah, and it's not
- 22:44Speaker 5: just that, right, I mean, overall, during that losing streak,
- 22:47Speaker 5: during losing those those games to Detroit and to Pittsburgh,
- 22:51Speaker 5: it was the entire offense just not being able to
- 22:53Speaker 5: bring guys in. But Sunday showed a little life in
- 22:57Speaker 5: that fourth inning, which was good. Five runs in the
- 23:00Speaker 5: four of those coming with two outs. They've they've been
- 23:02Speaker 5: really good at two out runs this year. And I
- 23:05Speaker 5: don't know what you can exactly make of that. I mean,
- 23:07Speaker 5: Pat Murphy preaches all the time that you have to
- 23:10Speaker 5: get the third out and so you play to every pitch.
- 23:14Speaker 5: That's kind of his motto, and so that the two
- 23:16Speaker 5: run outs for this offense kind of go along with that. However,
- 23:20Speaker 5: I do think, yeah, you're gonna need to hit some
- 23:23Speaker 5: more home runs at some point here, because you can
- 23:26Speaker 5: do the bun thing and you can do the small
- 23:28Speaker 5: ball for a while and it's and it look they
- 23:31Speaker 5: can score runs in a lot of different ways. However,
- 23:34Speaker 5: the home run is also going to supplement that really well.
- 23:36Speaker 7: I covered the ninety nine Brewers. They had four players
- 23:39Speaker 7: hit twenty or more home runs. Arman, Sorry, and right now,
- 23:41Speaker 7: can you tell me who the four players are? Ninety
- 23:44Speaker 7: nine Brewers that surpassed twenty homers? Bernit's for sure, yeah,
- 23:49Speaker 7: thirty three. He was the head of the delta pledge class.
- 23:51Speaker 7: I think Jeff Jenkins was there.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Jeff Jenkins hit twenty one. Let's go.
- 23:57Speaker 6: I'll take a shot at Mark's great grip, great one,
- 24:02Speaker 6: the fourth one.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Stuff. The only I can think of is maybe like
- 24:05Speaker 2: a hose Valentine, but only Valentine was close, well, well
- 24:09Speaker 2: not close, but he's on the team, but he had ten.
- 24:11Speaker 2: It was David Nilson.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Well he's still planned ninety nine. Why did I think
- 24:16Speaker 3: last long?
- 24:16Speaker 6: I'll take three out of four car that's pretty common.
- 24:19Speaker 6: And this is the second day row we've had trivia.
- 24:22Speaker 6: I know, I'm loving this. Hunter joining us now?
- 24:24Speaker 7: Hunter, uh, I would ask you now for the Orthopedic
- 24:28Speaker 7: Associates of Wisconsin injury updates, because those guy's.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Got to be getting close. They've been hitting on the field.
- 24:34Speaker 7: Priest threw another outing, So Hunter Orthopedic was Associates Wisconsin.
- 24:38Speaker 7: There is a difference ORTHO Wisconsin dot com the best
- 24:40Speaker 7: care you can find, world class care right here locally.
- 24:43Speaker 2: What's the injury updates? Hunter, We've got to be getting
- 24:45Speaker 2: close to getting some reinforcements.
- 24:49Speaker 5: We yeah, we do, especially uh well in the rehab
- 24:52Speaker 5: assignment part of things. I would think that we'll get
- 24:55Speaker 5: news today whether or not Churio is ready for a
- 24:58Speaker 5: rehab assignment. Whether or not Vond's ready for you have assignment.
- 25:00Speaker 5: At first, it kind of seems Cherio might be a
- 25:02Speaker 5: little bit ahead of Von. But when we talked to
- 25:04Speaker 5: Lat Murphy, I think it was maybe Friday or over
- 25:07Speaker 5: the weekend, he said that Vaughn could go out on
- 25:10Speaker 5: a rehab assignment first, just depending on how both are feelings.
- 25:13Speaker 5: So I'm sure we'll get a little more news on
- 25:15Speaker 5: that today and hope that this is the week that
- 25:18Speaker 5: we see one or both of them on a rehab assignment.
- 25:20Speaker 5: And then I mean, how many at bets you say,
- 25:22Speaker 5: I mean it's probably fifteen to twenty maybe at bats,
- 25:26Speaker 5: which is you know, it depends on how many games
- 25:28Speaker 5: you play. Maybe it's a week or so week and
- 25:30Speaker 5: a half, so maybe late next week, maybe you look at,
- 25:35Speaker 5: you know, the next home stand against the Yankees, bringing
- 25:38Speaker 5: one or two of those back, which would be great,
- 25:40Speaker 5: speaking of power. So I think, again that's kind of
- 25:44Speaker 5: an all guest of it. We'll see what Pat Murphy says.
- 25:46Speaker 5: I'll have more on that on the Baseball pregame show
- 25:48Speaker 5: this evening at five point thirty, but for right now,
- 25:51Speaker 5: that's the report on them. And then Quinn Priester had
- 25:52Speaker 5: a much better outing in his second rehab outing on Sunday.
- 25:56Speaker 5: Pitched forty five pitches, pitched into the third, so it
- 25:59Speaker 5: was it was better than the quick outing he had
- 26:02Speaker 5: his first time. Now he reported feeling great after that
- 26:05Speaker 5: first downing. He just got cut short because the results
- 26:07Speaker 5: weren't weren't there. But Pat Murphy said a couple things
- 26:10Speaker 5: about Priester over the weekend. He said, one that results
- 26:13Speaker 5: really it's not what they're They're not looking at the
- 26:16Speaker 5: results right now, they're just looking at how does he feel,
- 26:18Speaker 5: especially for the first couple of outings. And then he
- 26:20Speaker 5: also said he thinks it'll be a while. Quinn Priest
- 26:22Speaker 5: is basically restarting spring training, and you think about how
- 26:24Speaker 5: pitchers are built up in spring training. This is going
- 26:28Speaker 5: to be kind of a similar process for him. So
- 26:31Speaker 5: I would think it'll still be a little bit. You know,
- 26:33Speaker 5: you're talking probably two three weeks still for Quinn Priester Hunter.
- 26:38Speaker 4: As yesterday I was watching and unveiling myself a little bit.
- 26:41Speaker 4: It's the Potawatomy sportsbook of some raised baseball against the Guardians,
- 26:45Speaker 4: and not only watching some guy steal a baseball from
- 26:47Speaker 4: a youngster, I got to hear them, the Rays broadcasters
- 26:50Speaker 4: talking about the losses that they've gone through and the
- 26:55Speaker 4: difficulties of their season outside of the National League Central.
- 27:01Speaker 2: You're feeling around the crew.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Obviously the start hasn't been exactly what people thought, but
- 27:06Speaker 4: the Division has been so good. It's retavoc against pretty
- 27:09Speaker 4: much everybody that they've faced, the Rays of one every
- 27:13Speaker 4: single series other than their series against teams from the
- 27:16Speaker 4: National League Central. Is it just confidence in understanding that, man,
- 27:21Speaker 4: for right now, the Division is better than anybody else
- 27:23Speaker 4: in baseball and maybe the NL West. Or is it realizing,
- 27:27Speaker 4: like after years and years of Murph telling us all
- 27:29Speaker 4: these teams are trying to get better, this is the
- 27:31Speaker 4: reaping of what you sew in the NL Central has
- 27:34Speaker 4: just become a much more competitive area.
- 27:38Speaker 3: I think it has.
- 27:39Speaker 5: I think the Pirates are improved. I don't know if
- 27:42Speaker 5: they're gonna have sustaining power for one hundred and sixty two,
- 27:45Speaker 5: but that is an improved lineup. I mean top to bottom.
- 27:48Speaker 5: That's a formidable lineup now, and that's not necessarily been
- 27:51Speaker 5: the case in recent years. They've kind of had the
- 27:53Speaker 5: pitching obviously, with when Schemes is your leader, you have
- 27:56Speaker 5: some pitching, and then the rest of those guys aren't
- 27:59Speaker 5: too bad either, and they're coming into the series. We're
- 28:02Speaker 5: one of the best teams in team. They're top ten
- 28:05Speaker 5: in Baseball. And look the Reds. I always said, I'll
- 28:09Speaker 5: believe it when I see it. Well, they got to
- 28:10Speaker 5: the playoffs last year, so you kind of believe it
- 28:12Speaker 5: a little bit there. And they're off to a hot
- 28:14Speaker 5: start this year. And they've got definitely some talent on
- 28:17Speaker 5: that team. Clubs we knew were going to be competitive.
- 28:19Speaker 5: They obviously spent during the summer or during the off season,
- 28:23Speaker 5: I should say, And boy, they've had their own plethora
- 28:27Speaker 5: of injuries as well. They're battling through in just one
- 28:29Speaker 5: nine in a row now they've lost three in a row.
- 28:31Speaker 5: And then the Cardinals are the one that right now,
- 28:34Speaker 5: if I were to pick one team to pick, you know,
- 28:36Speaker 5: at the bottom of the division come to the end
- 28:38Speaker 5: of the year, I would pick the Cardinals just because
- 28:41Speaker 5: I think they're still in rebuild. No, and I think
- 28:43Speaker 5: they're just going through a five hundred stretch to start
- 28:45Speaker 5: the year. But I think they're coming down to earth
- 28:47Speaker 5: a little bit. I think they got swept over the
- 28:49Speaker 5: weekend by the Mariners. So I do think right now
- 28:52Speaker 5: that this is the best division in baseball. Will it
- 28:54Speaker 5: be by the end of the year. We'll see. I
- 28:56Speaker 5: think you could though. I mean, look, this team had
- 28:58Speaker 5: three of the six teams in the National League Playoffs
- 29:02Speaker 5: last year came out of the NL Central. So it's
- 29:04Speaker 5: not like this is unheard of for this division to
- 29:06Speaker 5: be good. And especially with all these inner league games.
- 29:09Speaker 5: It's not like the just the Brewers are playing these
- 29:11Speaker 5: inner league games early in the season. Everybody is. And
- 29:14Speaker 5: that's made for kind of a lopsided National League to
- 29:16Speaker 5: a I mean, the National League has really dominated an
- 29:19Speaker 5: American league. Especially in the early first two three weeks
- 29:21Speaker 5: of the season, the National League was dominating the American League.
- 29:24Speaker 5: And that's why you have some of the better records
- 29:26Speaker 5: the Braves, the Dodgers, the Padres, the Reds, the Cubs,
- 29:30Speaker 5: you know, with the better records so far overall in
- 29:33Speaker 5: Major League Baseball because of that. And then of course,
- 29:36Speaker 5: things you know, changed a little bit when you have
- 29:38Speaker 5: the Phillies and Mets losing as much as they have.
- 29:41Speaker 5: So I do think the NL Central is overall improved
- 29:44Speaker 5: this year. You know, will they get three teams in
- 29:47Speaker 5: the in the dance again, it's possible. But again, like
- 29:51Speaker 5: you said, what to keep an eye on that West.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Obviously we know the Dodgers and Toadres are going to
- 29:54Speaker 5: be good. What are the Giants doing? They're an interesting
- 29:57Speaker 5: one because boy, they obviously got the new manager. They
- 30:00Speaker 5: invested a lot in that team. But I don't know,
- 30:03Speaker 5: that doesn't seem to be necessarily panning out so far.
- 30:05Speaker 6: Well, that's a good point about the way the schedule
- 30:07Speaker 6: has kind of been reconfigured and rebalanced. It's like a
- 30:09Speaker 6: lot of the teams in the Central haven't played each
- 30:11Speaker 6: other yet, so somebody has to lose. But you're right,
- 30:14Speaker 6: with all the inter league play, if those wins can
- 30:18Speaker 6: get unbalanced, it's not zero sum necessarily so that it
- 30:21Speaker 6: is super early, but that might shape up for an
- 30:23Speaker 6: interesting wildcard situation as well in the National League, if
- 30:26Speaker 6: there's a glut of wins in the National League as
- 30:28Speaker 6: opposed the American League.
- 30:29Speaker 2: So something to watch.
- 30:32Speaker 5: Right exactly, and your wildcard teams could you know, be
- 30:37Speaker 5: have better records in the NL compared to the ALE,
- 30:39Speaker 5: depending though I mean, obviously there's a bunch of inter
- 30:41Speaker 5: play left and the AL Yeah, could go the other way,
- 30:44Speaker 5: but just early on, the National League has been better
- 30:46Speaker 5: than the American League.
- 30:47Speaker 7: Hunter on the way out here, Todd Roseek has a
- 30:51Speaker 7: great story on Trevor McGill and his kind of renaissance.
- 30:54Speaker 7: He's found his curveball? Is he still like, you know,
- 30:57Speaker 7: it's a brush? Were playing Game seven tonight? You Rebay
- 31:00Speaker 7: at the ball in the ninth there?
- 31:01Speaker 2: Does McGill?
- 31:04Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 31:04Speaker 5: I mean Pat Murphy was saying that Abner Reba's made
- 31:07Speaker 5: it tough, you know, for Trevor McGill to get back
- 31:10Speaker 5: to that closer role because we're Rebay's done pretty good. Obviously,
- 31:14Speaker 5: he had had the hiccup against Detroit and the walk
- 31:16Speaker 5: off home run, but otherwise he's been pitching better I
- 31:21Speaker 5: think over all in the last week and a half
- 31:23Speaker 5: or so. But man, I do wonder when they make
- 31:27Speaker 5: that switch and if it's you know, if they're thinking
- 31:31Speaker 5: at some point maybe it's a matchup. They say, you
- 31:33Speaker 5: know what, maybe tonight it would be a better matchup
- 31:35Speaker 5: to have McGill going in the ninth inning, and they
- 31:37Speaker 5: try with that. I think eventually they probably want to
- 31:40Speaker 5: try to get him back there. But he's also rolling
- 31:42Speaker 5: right now with five straight appearances without allowing an earned run,
- 31:45Speaker 5: and so if that's the case, the walks are way down,
- 31:48Speaker 5: Like you said that, the ability with the curveball, and
- 31:51Speaker 5: he looked just really good on Sunday, So I'm thinking
- 31:56Speaker 5: that they might keep this role right now, but eventually,
- 32:00Speaker 5: if he continues to do this, it's going to be
- 32:01Speaker 5: hard for not to test him in that ninth inning
- 32:05Speaker 5: and see what he can do. I also don't think
- 32:07Speaker 5: I think they could split it, but again I feel
- 32:09Speaker 5: like you're I feel like you want to have a
- 32:12Speaker 5: guy that knows he's going to be the ninth inning
- 32:14Speaker 5: guy compared to like a closer by committee. Like it
- 32:17Speaker 5: sounds good and then you can work matchups and all that,
- 32:19Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, if you have
- 32:20Speaker 5: a guy that knows he's going to be there in
- 32:23Speaker 5: the ninth inning, knows that if it's a close game
- 32:26Speaker 5: or a tie game, he's going to be the one
- 32:27Speaker 5: to be on the mound, I feel like, just the
- 32:29Speaker 5: mentality wise, you want to have a guy ready for that.
- 32:32Speaker 5: But we'll see, We'll see what they do. I do
- 32:34Speaker 5: think if it's a safe situation tonight, I think probably
- 32:37Speaker 5: gets the ball. By the week from now, it could
- 32:40Speaker 5: be McGill getting that ball. McGill keeps us up. I
- 32:43Speaker 5: like that.
- 32:43Speaker 2: That's what I like to hear Hunter going to the
- 32:45Speaker 2: ball game tonight.
- 32:46Speaker 4: I'm going to potentially stop the Potawatamy sportsbook beforehand before
- 32:49Speaker 4: I put Chad Patrick strikeouts into any parlay. We're not
- 32:53Speaker 4: going to get the rug pulled over our head and
- 32:56Speaker 4: have an opener here, are we? Is Is this going
- 32:58Speaker 4: to be a possibility for either spe or Patrick to
- 33:00Speaker 4: get jumped in front of by somebody or are these
- 33:03Speaker 4: guys going to be starting here this week going up
- 33:05Speaker 4: against the Diamondbacks.
- 33:07Speaker 5: That's a great question. I you know, I wouldn't put
- 33:11Speaker 5: it past the Verse to put an opener in front
- 33:12Speaker 5: of Chad Patrick. They seem to like to do that
- 33:15Speaker 5: and didn't really work in Detroit, though, so I do
- 33:17Speaker 5: wonder if that like has a you know, it worked
- 33:20Speaker 5: as far as dl Hall getting a couple of scoreless innings,
- 33:23Speaker 5: but then he didn't obviously pitch well and that matchup
- 33:25Speaker 5: wasn't good anyway. That's why they did the DLLL opener
- 33:27Speaker 5: to begin with, is because that matchup against the Tigers
- 33:30Speaker 5: and the way the other way they're hitting righty's and
- 33:33Speaker 5: in that ballpark specifically, like that matchup, this was not good,
- 33:36Speaker 5: and so I think they were just trying to do
- 33:38Speaker 5: anything they could maybe prolong the amount of innings that
- 33:40Speaker 5: he wasn't out there, and then said all right, we'll
- 33:43Speaker 5: just kind of close our eyes and hoped, but not
- 33:46Speaker 5: that you know, Chad Patrick's arguably coming into that start
- 33:48Speaker 5: was one of your best pitchers, if not your best,
- 33:51Speaker 5: So it's not like you didn't have confidence in them,
- 33:52Speaker 5: but just that matchup specifically, So I would think that
- 33:55Speaker 5: they'll keep him tonight without an opener, But man, I don't.
- 34:00Speaker 5: I don't know, like as good as he's been. If
- 34:02Speaker 5: I were to take a picture, to not be in
- 34:04Speaker 5: the starting rotation when Quinn Priester comes back, might be
- 34:07Speaker 5: Chad Patrick because they just the way the organization seems
- 34:12Speaker 5: to treat him. See, it just doesn't seem totally confident
- 34:17Speaker 5: and right. And plus Kyle Harrison and Brandsbroge, you traded
- 34:20Speaker 5: you know, significant pieces a way for those guys, and
- 34:22Speaker 5: obviously Woody and Miz aren't going anywhere. Chad Patcher could
- 34:25Speaker 5: be the hot man out in a few weeks when
- 34:26Speaker 5: Krimn Priester comes back. So something a while he could
- 34:28Speaker 5: just go to the bullpen. I'm not saying he's gonna
- 34:30Speaker 5: be sent down, but maybe that's.
- 34:33Speaker 2: A bold prediction.
- 34:33Speaker 7: Hunter Bombguard his insider segments on our program, brought just
- 34:37Speaker 7: by import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle care

- 34:51Speaker 4: But it's another one, Drew, where like I think of
- 34:54Speaker 4: Corbyn Carroll at the top of that lineup in Arizona,
- 34:57Speaker 4: that's a left handed bat.
- 34:58Speaker 2: That's pretty substantial. They got a ton of switch.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Hitters though, like Pernomo switch hitter Marte Better probably from
- 35:06Speaker 4: the left side switch hitter.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Pernomo kills the Brewers.
- 35:09Speaker 4: And he was also the cat that was on the
- 35:11Speaker 4: uh in the batter's box for the Dominican Republic in
- 35:15Speaker 4: that wild third strike one that got called during the
- 35:18Speaker 4: WBC patient son of a gun in the box.

- 36:37Speaker 4: of the giggles where you just can't stop laughing? Oh?
- 36:39Speaker 7: Usually I get the giggles. After you get the giggles,
- 36:41Speaker 7: It makes me laughing and it just hurts all of
- 36:43Speaker 7: a sudden. Your stomach hurts when you laugh so hard.
- 36:45Speaker 7: Right the one you lat, Billy, Yeah, for sure did
- 36:48Speaker 7: not do the same for one. Mark toothache toothachre toothachre wow.
- 36:54Speaker 7: Last December was an ordinary Sunday night. He worked for
- 36:58Speaker 7: Spendthrift Farm, a gym that settles in Lexington, Lexington, Kentucky
- 37:03Speaker 7: into a horse racing deal. But watching the New England
- 37:06Speaker 7: Patriots and the New York Giants playing in Monday night football,
- 37:08Speaker 7: what happened next No one could have understood. Watching from
- 37:12Speaker 7: bed alongside his wife Mallory, who was reading a book,
- 37:15Speaker 7: Giants kicker Young Wayku whiffed on a field goal attempt
- 37:19Speaker 7: that sent Mark into a tizzy.
- 37:21Speaker 2: He couldn't figure it out.
- 37:22Speaker 4: It looked like Charlie Brown and Lucy from the Peanuts commercial,
- 37:25Speaker 4: and he started laughing hysterically. He said, I never felt
- 37:29Speaker 4: anything like it in my life, but I felt like
- 37:31Speaker 4: I got electrocuted as I was laughing. Mallory, who happens
- 37:34Speaker 4: to be a nurse next to him working alongside brain
- 37:38Speaker 4: injury doctors, initially thought her husband was joking, but called
- 37:41Speaker 4: nine to one one to get him to the hospital
- 37:43Speaker 4: after he fell from laughing. They found a CT scan
- 37:47Speaker 4: revealed he had a tennis ball sized tumor on the
- 37:50Speaker 4: left side of his brain.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Wow.
- 37:52Speaker 5: What.
- 37:53Speaker 2: He was transferred to the.
- 37:54Speaker 4: University of Kentucky's Medical Hospital, where the tumor was removed
- 37:57Speaker 4: and surgically surgically removed and turned out to be benign
- 38:01Speaker 4: tennis ball. Do you know how big a tennis ball is?
- 38:03Speaker 4: He was home by the end of the week with
- 38:05Speaker 4: no lasting damage. He legitimate, as he said in the
- 38:10Speaker 4: interview here with the AP, told the Associated Press of
- 38:13Speaker 4: the phone interview that Kicker saved my life because, Wow,
- 38:17Speaker 4: it could.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Have happened any other time.
- 38:19Speaker 4: I wholeheartedly believe that I was in the right spot
- 38:21Speaker 4: at the right time, and he was the trigger for it.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Happening.
- 38:24Speaker 4: Fifty nine year old Dudacre had no symptoms and no idea.
- 38:28Speaker 4: The tumor had lived in his brain six millimeters to
- 38:31Speaker 4: the right in the months before his seizure that transpired
- 38:35Speaker 4: after the laughing attack, he had driven and flown all
- 38:38Speaker 4: over the country part of his job as a stallion
- 38:41Speaker 4: season manager and now well Stallions. He will be at
- 38:49Speaker 4: this week's Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs as
- 38:53Speaker 4: Spinthreat Farm owned further Ado is set to run in
- 38:58Speaker 4: this year's Kentucky Derby. Boy this crazier. The story's got
- 39:01Speaker 4: absolutely everything.
- 39:03Speaker 3: He's got a horse in the derby.
- 39:04Speaker 2: This story does have everything.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Seizure from a laughing attack? What found out that he
- 39:10Speaker 4: had a tennis ball sized tumor on his brain? Because
- 39:14Speaker 4: young wig Ku kicked out of the ground and the ball.
- 39:18Speaker 2: I have a question.
- 39:19Speaker 6: I'm not a doctor. How do you not realize you
- 39:22Speaker 6: got a tennis ball? That's a big ball, a tennis
- 39:26Speaker 6: ball sized tumor and you don't realize it and it's benign,
- 39:29Speaker 6: there's no effect.
- 39:30Speaker 3: I mean, they can just take it out. It's that big.
- 39:32Speaker 2: That's he said.
- 39:33Speaker 6: I know.
- 39:33Speaker 2: It wasn't the best moment.
- 39:34Speaker 4: It wasn't his best moment, but it was beyond crazy
- 39:38Speaker 4: for she and I to be belly laughing at his expense,
- 39:41Speaker 4: which I do feel terrible about now, Yeah, but for me,
- 39:47Speaker 4: it couldn't have been at a better How many lives
- 39:50Speaker 4: were saved by the butt fumble then did nothing for us?
- 39:53Speaker 2: If this one come on? We ready, yeah to butt fumble.
- 39:58Speaker 6: Sanch just realized to steal them. I'm glad he's good.
- 40:04Speaker 6: I'm glad he's good. Now I got a horse in
- 40:05Speaker 6: the race, No pun intended. You got a horse is
- 40:09Speaker 6: now going to be the most bet upon horse in
- 40:11Speaker 6: the entire race.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Right now.
- 40:13Speaker 6: I got a nightmare feel every time I laugh, because
- 40:15Speaker 6: every time I laugh, I'm gonna be wondering if I'm
- 40:17Speaker 6: next with this tennis.
- 40:18Speaker 2: But you just do you not know?
- 40:20Speaker 4: You wouldn't know because your arm and sorry, you would understand.
- 40:23Speaker 4: You're too in tune with your body.
- 40:24Speaker 7: You're going to take the tennis ball sized tumor out
- 40:26Speaker 7: of Armon's head and then he won't be worried about
- 40:28Speaker 7: produce going bad by the half a bag of.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Spinach instead of the full bag, because I'm going to
- 40:33Speaker 2: be throwing it away.
- 40:34Speaker 3: This is like half the size of a tennis ball.
- 40:36Speaker 7: You realize you can freeze your produce too, right, Yeah, sure,
- 40:41Speaker 7: I'm gonna fill my freezer up with old with spinach.
- 40:44Speaker 7: You know, if you want to save save a couple
- 40:46Speaker 7: of dollars, that's the easiest way to do.
- 40:48Speaker 3: So that's a good point. What is Dave Ramsey doing
- 40:51Speaker 3: with that extra spinach?
- 40:52Speaker 2: Probably true, he's probably saving that spinach.
- 40:54Speaker 6: He probably goes to this story every day to make
- 40:57Speaker 6: sure it doesn't waste any food, right, right, Billy, that's
- 40:59Speaker 6: probably what he does.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Probably. My goodness, I've been so I've been sitting on
- 41:02Speaker 2: this one for a while.
- 41:03Speaker 4: I read I read this this morning, and I couldn't
- 41:06Speaker 4: figure out where it had go where it had to
- 41:09Speaker 4: go in and uh, because there have been some moments
- 41:12Speaker 4: where you start gut busting laughing, you're like, wait a second,
- 41:15Speaker 4: am I okay, No, this young man was having a
- 41:17Speaker 4: seizure and ultimately his life saved by Young Waykhu's final moment.
- 41:23Speaker 4: Because I'm pretty sure Young Way Who got cut the
- 41:25Speaker 4: next day after that, and I don't believe he's kicked
- 41:28Speaker 4: again in the NFL.
- 41:28Speaker 6: Young Way Who, you did, good kids. Further Ado all right,
- 41:32Speaker 6: put it in your memory banks.
- 41:33Speaker 4: Further ado, for this week's running of the Kentucky Derby Spectacular,
- 41:37Speaker 4: we might have to get some winners for the Derby
- 41:39Speaker 4: by our boy Wayne larg In. It was dialed absolutely absolutely.
- 41:46Speaker 4: I think we've covered all the bases, haven't we. I
- 41:48Speaker 4: don't think we missed anything. My goodness got Billy up
- 41:51Speaker 4: to speed on the w NBA story. I cannot. I'm
- 41:54Speaker 4: so mad that I missed it, but I'm so happy
- 41:56Speaker 4: you have. At the moment, I'm now with us.
