0:37
Speaker 1: the X love It YouTube X.
0:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you said, yeah, our three for you pancake eaters, Like,
0:42
Speaker 5: are you taking a dig at our audience? Is this
0:44
Speaker 5: a veiled.
0:46
Speaker 1: All you pancake eaters? Is that like booger eaters? Or
0:49
Speaker 1: what I have to say? I you know, I put
0:52
Speaker 1: a tweet ie try and put a caption with the
0:54
Speaker 1: video link, and and I absolutely didn't think too much
0:58
Speaker 1: about it. And now in retrospect, I can see how
1:00
Speaker 1: it can sound condescends.
1:01
Speaker 5: Like a lion in the Serengeti.
1:05
Speaker 1: Pancake eater and pancake eating oil. What would it sounded
1:09
Speaker 1: better you t bone, steak eaters, pancake eater and Potosi.
1:13
Speaker 5: I don't know.
1:14
Speaker 1: I don't.
1:16
Speaker 2: However you say it, it sounds like all you all
1:20
Speaker 2: you guys, all you people. Whenever you drop a you people,
1:24
Speaker 2: and rarely does it come out with a nice cotton
1:26
Speaker 2: you know.
1:27
Speaker 1: I think if people are getting up in the morning
1:28
Speaker 1: and they're getting it ready for breakfast at seven o'clock,
1:30
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to go to work, and maybe they're
1:32
Speaker 1: cooking up some breakfast, the whistles go wu, you know,
1:35
Speaker 1: and uh that that's a reference that some people get.
1:38
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I just feel like, you know,
1:41
Speaker 1: they're probably out there eating pancakes. It's a it's a delicious, nutritious,
1:47
Speaker 1: not very nutritious. Okay, well, it's a filling, not very nutritious.
1:50
Speaker 1: It's delicious, delicious, filling, economical breakfast that most people can eat,
1:56
Speaker 1: and that that enjoy most people enjoy eating that. There's
2:00
Speaker 1: a lot of pancake eaters in our listener group because
2:02
Speaker 1: we got the really salt of the earth blue collar
2:04
Speaker 1: workers out there.
2:05
Speaker 5: Pancakes are delicious. Yeah, I love pancakes are delicious.
2:07
Speaker 2: I also in that, but blue blue collar folks, Drew Arman,
2:12
Speaker 2: one might be already at work, probably listening to us
2:14
Speaker 2: at work all right. Also probably probably tough to sit
2:16
Speaker 2: down with a play of flapjacks in front of you
2:19
Speaker 2: if you're gonna go and work. That's the that's the
2:21
Speaker 2: tough thing about pancakes. When I'm going to divulge in pancakes,
2:24
Speaker 2: which generally will be ordered when I go to a
2:27
Speaker 2: breakfast spot, Drew, you gotta at least have some possibility
2:32
Speaker 2: for a nap in your future, right, Like they're gonna
2:35
Speaker 2: be heavy. Jim Gaffigan had a great, a great ribud cake.
2:39
Speaker 2: He's like, how did that slide through? No, you can't
2:43
Speaker 2: have cake for breakfast. You're gonna have fried cake. What's
2:46
Speaker 2: syrup for breakfast? Shove that down your throat and try.
2:48
Speaker 1: Not to nap. I mean, like that is a That
2:50
Speaker 1: is a tough scene. And to your point, it's not
2:52
Speaker 1: really a quick one. You gotta make the batter, you're
2:55
Speaker 1: gonna mix it, and then you gotta fry them up,
2:57
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, you can do frozen
3:00
Speaker 1: waffles easily. You know, Yeah, they got frozen pancakes. Do
3:03
Speaker 1: you have frozen pancakes the most hit like eggles. I
3:06
Speaker 1: can't imagine because they are crispy like frozen micro microwavable pancakes.
3:11
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, listen. John Denver said it. Man, I
3:14
Speaker 1: got me a fine wife, I got my old fiddle,
3:16
Speaker 1: got sons coming up, I got cakes on the griddle,
3:19
Speaker 1: all right, So the sun God, I'm a country boy.
3:23
Speaker 1: That's what I think. I I'm listening to the huddle
3:27
Speaker 1: and then and on Thursday morning with my cakes on
3:29
Speaker 1: the griddle. Yeah it. I did not think about it much.
3:33
Speaker 1: I'll be one hundred percent honest. I really didn't.
3:35
Speaker 2: Response to somebody for the Mighty Ducks with the Mighty
3:38
Speaker 2: Ducks mean cake eater.
3:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, cake eater, that's right. That was Banks. Although Banks,
3:43
Speaker 1: I think Banks proved his metal Banks. He proved he
3:46
Speaker 1: was a real one in two it.
3:48
Speaker 2: Well, then that means you need to prove that you're
3:50
Speaker 2: a real one, and and and dial in here for
3:52
Speaker 2: the next hour.
3:52
Speaker 1: I believe I'm locked in. I'm thinking about pancakes, but
3:56
Speaker 1: I'm locked in.
3:57
Speaker 5: We've covered a lot of ground already this morning. You're
3:59
Speaker 5: just waking up.
3:59
Speaker 1: Welcome.
4:00
Speaker 5: We've been here since five just waking up and firing
4:03
Speaker 5: up your pancakes. We've talked about the Brewers crushing loss
4:06
Speaker 5: last night, admir Ruby, but the silver lining was mis
4:10
Speaker 5: was incredible for seven innings, ten strikeouts, no walks, just
4:13
Speaker 5: dominant shoving. And then the Brewers lose. He comes out
4:16
Speaker 5: for the eighth, cramps up as squad and nothing to
4:20
Speaker 5: worry about. He said, he's going to make his next turn,
4:21
Speaker 5: which is slated to be Monday at Wrigley Field.
4:24
Speaker 1: Monday, Wrigley Field. That's a big one. Drew two and
4:26
Speaker 1: a half going back of those boys. Dominant.
4:28
Speaker 5: Big game for the Brewers today though, because like there's
4:30
Speaker 5: something five and one just sounds so much better than
4:33
Speaker 5: four and two on the home stand.
4:34
Speaker 2: Well, and also, I mean, it's the race to win, serious, right,
4:37
Speaker 2: it's the race to try to stack as.
4:39
Speaker 1: Many of those as you can.
4:40
Speaker 2: And you as tough as it is to lose a
4:42
Speaker 2: game last night, you also possibly could lose the series.
4:45
Speaker 2: You had a full control, and you would had a
4:47
Speaker 2: chance to sweep a home stand. And I mean, as
4:50
Speaker 2: we're talking about pancakes, no, we would have been halfway
4:52
Speaker 2: to burgers, which is also another important thing one but
4:55
Speaker 2: for for for miss In particular, you feel like, not
5:00
Speaker 2: only are you going to win every single time he
5:03
Speaker 2: has the ball, it now is trending to the point
5:05
Speaker 2: where I'm feeling bad for the opponent when he takes
5:08
Speaker 2: the baseball. That's a different level of confidence.
5:11
Speaker 5: Is it too basic for us to name miz our
5:14
Speaker 5: current Electric Superhero the Day brought just by Carl Current
5:17
Speaker 5: dot com Current Electric the best the superheroes. You see
5:20
Speaker 5: those mans all over the town as they're helping people out.
5:23
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's the easiest one, and
5:25
Speaker 2: I think it's the best one to be able to
5:26
Speaker 2: call him a superhero the day because he's also six
5:28
Speaker 2: foot seven, gangly looking. But a hero's welcome is the
5:31
Speaker 2: one that he gets in a hero send off every
5:33
Speaker 2: single time he walks on and off the mound. Now,
5:35
Speaker 2: I don't know, Drew. I is it as simple with
5:39
Speaker 2: the cramping issue as like give him a banana and
5:41
Speaker 2: give him some IV?
5:43
Speaker 1: Like can we give him an IV? So we don't issue.
5:46
Speaker 5: It's not like they're not aware of it. And sure
5:48
Speaker 5: like they have the best nutritionists, they have the best
5:50
Speaker 5: athletic training staff. Sometimes it's just a body chemistry thing.
5:54
Speaker 5: I don't know, what is he not doing that? He's
5:56
Speaker 5: cramping up like some guys just you're running a high
6:00
Speaker 5: It's it's a what do you call it, it's a
6:03
Speaker 5: high performance engine. Oh, for sure, this is a high
6:05
Speaker 5: performance I mean, we've never seen a guy throw his
6:09
Speaker 5: what ninety third pitch at one hundred and three. It
6:12
Speaker 5: just doesn't happen.
6:12
Speaker 1: I think if you if you have a guy with
6:14
Speaker 1: that type of ability to your point, the muscles, all
6:16
Speaker 1: those things, if you can do superhuman things.
6:18
Speaker 5: You're gonna have, you're running up against the limits of
6:21
Speaker 5: human were physiology and you know performing.
6:23
Speaker 1: The guy reminded me of that. There's nothing they could
6:25
Speaker 1: do about it. He would get him every game just
6:27
Speaker 1: because his muscles were so intense and tight. Was Dominique
6:30
Speaker 1: James when he was a freshman. I remember it was
6:32
Speaker 1: happening a lot of point guard market zero was just
6:35
Speaker 1: an incredible ball of athleticism that people hadn't seen. That
6:39
Speaker 1: was his best feet. He could jump everywhere. He was
6:41
Speaker 1: a small guy, but he was incredible. He would get
6:43
Speaker 1: cramps every game at the end of the game. There's
6:45
Speaker 1: nothing they could do. And at first people were nervous
6:47
Speaker 1: because he'd be writhing in pain thinking he got a
6:49
Speaker 1: c ellendries and I was like, oh, Dominique's cramping again.
6:52
Speaker 1: But there's really not much that you can hydrate them
6:54
Speaker 1: all game you can you know you can't? I tell
6:56
Speaker 1: you him, well.
6:57
Speaker 5: Could the game?
6:59
Speaker 1: Right at half time?
7:00
Speaker 2: I'm like, plug it in like a like an EV
7:03
Speaker 2: charger right now. Current Electric the company to call if
7:05
Speaker 2: you're looking for an EV charger. Great work that Current
7:09
Speaker 2: Electric is doing, and the superheroes right now will handle
7:12
Speaker 2: everything from the initial site assessments to the final installation
7:15
Speaker 2: for the month of May, offering a free EV charger.
7:18
Speaker 2: That's right, free EV charger when you simply purchase installation.
7:22
Speaker 2: So if you've thought about getting an EV charger, now's
7:24
Speaker 2: the time call Current dot Com planning that one. I
7:26
Speaker 2: was sitting there water.
7:29
Speaker 1: In that bamboo.
7:30
Speaker 5: That's not my mission to tell people how to fan,
7:32
Speaker 5: but being at the game last night, like missus last inning,
7:36
Speaker 5: you could kind of tell. And Murph said it looked
7:39
Speaker 5: like he was trying to empty the tank. He's around
7:40
Speaker 5: ninety pitches strikes out. Casianos wanted to get to that
7:43
Speaker 5: ten set surge gets the tenth k He's at ninety
7:47
Speaker 5: three pitches. A ninety third pitch was one hundred and
7:49
Speaker 5: three no one's ever done yet before. It was epic,
7:52
Speaker 5: But Billy, that's the first time there was juice. Like,
7:55
Speaker 5: shouldn't there be juice in the building every time Miz
7:57
Speaker 5: gets the two strikes on a guy, shouldn't there be
7:59
Speaker 5: a lift? Well, the crowd just sitting there like it's
8:02
Speaker 5: Wednesday night. We're just chilling the game.
8:04
Speaker 1: This is where this is where Drew.
8:07
Speaker 2: I don't know how we do it, but I want
8:09
Speaker 2: us to adopt the Venezuelan panchezerl yelling like in the
8:14
Speaker 2: WBC every single time you get two strikes, we should
8:17
Speaker 2: be yelling punchy every single time that he gets to
8:20
Speaker 2: two strikes because that will then should be a build.
8:24
Speaker 5: It should be built every time through the BET. I
8:26
Speaker 5: don't care if it's the first inning, ear of the seventh,
8:28
Speaker 5: it should be like miss especially you're gonna be watching
8:30
Speaker 5: that that kboard out in right field to track his strikeouts.
8:35
Speaker 5: He's just it's a freakish thing and like not that
8:37
Speaker 5: people aren't enjoying it, but no being more juice.
8:41
Speaker 1: Part of it is maybe the Aaron Rodgers and Yanni's
8:43
Speaker 1: effected were those guys in the recent vintage made the
8:46
Speaker 1: remarkable seem so unremarkable that we were so used to
8:49
Speaker 1: seeing the greatness. Maybe there's a little bit of that too, Miss.
8:52
Speaker 1: It's like he's so good, we're just used to seeing
8:54
Speaker 1: him blow guys away, and it becomes ordinary, which it
8:56
Speaker 1: shouldn't because.
8:57
Speaker 5: It's incredible, shouldn't.
8:58
Speaker 1: Well, so your point build, we gotta come up with
9:00
Speaker 1: some sort of but it's gonna be organic, like kind
9:03
Speaker 1: of rallying cry or two strike thing that could become
9:06
Speaker 1: the tradition for Miz. Like you know, I don't know,
9:09
Speaker 1: finish him there to kill kill or something like that.
9:11
Speaker 2: I know the punchy one is too good when I'm
9:14
Speaker 2: seeing all the guys in the dugout throwing it.
9:16
Speaker 1: As well with Venezuela.
9:18
Speaker 2: You can't tell me that I didn't get in the
9:19
Speaker 2: USA players affects the batter definitely effect. There is the ordinary,
9:25
Speaker 2: maybe not for just Miz. The triple digits is a
9:27
Speaker 2: different one, right, Like I the first guy I fully
9:30
Speaker 2: remember pumping a hundred was a roll, this Chapman, right Like, Yeah,
9:34
Speaker 2: when I was young, when he came through in every
9:37
Speaker 2: inning he was throwing three or four.
9:38
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing.
9:40
Speaker 2: Now every game at least somebody is doing it, but
9:43
Speaker 2: for the longevity, true to your point, it is, that's different.
9:47
Speaker 1: That's something you haven't seen.
9:49
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot more though ooz and ahs,
9:51
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of oh, but he's the ball
9:56
Speaker 2: comes in so fast it's hard to even differentiate when
10:01
Speaker 2: it's a slider or a fastball from like the Layman
10:03
Speaker 2: I that you almost need that kboard in right field
10:07
Speaker 2: to just be showing the center field camera so we
10:10
Speaker 2: can actually see how much the ball is moving and
10:12
Speaker 2: then you get even more electricus. Yeah, because that's part
10:15
Speaker 2: of the beauty of watching him pitch is just seeing
10:17
Speaker 2: what the ball does.
10:18
Speaker 5: It is and you know, he made Tatis look so bad,
10:23
Speaker 5: and Tatus is a really good hitter, and he made
10:25
Speaker 5: him look so bad because you go up there like
10:28
Speaker 5: you have to be geared for the fastball because it's
10:29
Speaker 5: coming one hundred and two hundred and three to have
10:31
Speaker 5: a chance, you almost got a cheat and start your
10:32
Speaker 5: swing early, and if it's a slider, you had no chance.
10:35
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, you're gonna get burrassed.
10:36
Speaker 5: It's very like you don't go up there looking slider
10:39
Speaker 5: against Jacob Zrowski because you can't. And if his slider's
10:42
Speaker 5: going for strikes like it was out the game last night,
10:44
Speaker 5: if he's locating it, he is devastating and he's only
10:46
Speaker 5: gonna get better. So again, it was just one thing
10:49
Speaker 5: I observed, like they started to appreciate towards the end
10:51
Speaker 5: because it was the seventh and it's for sure nothing game.
10:54
Speaker 5: But if he goes to two strikes on the first
10:56
Speaker 5: batter of the game, get out of your seat like
10:59
Speaker 5: it's not but where people are gonna yell at you
11:01
Speaker 5: for standing.
11:02
Speaker 2: No, we love round numbers, right, And that's where Also
11:04
Speaker 2: I think the back end of it, he's chasing the
11:07
Speaker 2: tenth strikeout, there's the he's gonna get the double digits.
11:10
Speaker 2: That'll that'll inherently get a little bit more excitement in
11:14
Speaker 2: the building. But the way he plays, I think the
11:16
Speaker 2: youthful exuberance in that excitement would lend itself to a
11:19
Speaker 2: little bit and just like some more juice in the
11:21
Speaker 2: building would be nice, all right, Billy. I Also we
11:24
Speaker 2: were remiss chance in baseball as well, Drew.
11:26
Speaker 1: That's it, right, like we need more chanting in baseball.
11:29
Speaker 2: I'm not saying we need to go full U twelve
11:31
Speaker 2: softball here and be singing throughout the game. But it
11:35
Speaker 2: would be nice other than hotty hotty hoty ho heat
11:38
Speaker 2: ed if we could get some chanting going on during
11:41
Speaker 2: the game.
11:42
Speaker 5: Still good, that's true, it does, Billy, I've been remiss.
11:46
Speaker 5: We're here, we are entering our third hour broadcasting that
11:48
Speaker 5: I haven't wished you a happy anniversary.
11:51
Speaker 1: Oh oh is that today?
11:52
Speaker 5: Because on this date in twenty eighteen, sports gambling was legalized.
12:04
Speaker 5: The Supreme Court overturned the bat on sports gambling on
12:07
Speaker 5: this coat in twenty eighteen.
12:09
Speaker 1: Really was theresz. He's like, I forgot my anniversary.
12:14
Speaker 2: This month, Dude, I knew how I was. Damn please no,
12:19
Speaker 2: please get boy gave.
12:20
Speaker 1: The boy there.
12:25
Speaker 2: Eighteen man eight years ago today, which is fun, Drew.
12:31
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you bring that up because that would
12:32
Speaker 2: have been around the same time, uh, when I first
12:35
Speaker 2: started getting to do this job at a different radio
12:39
Speaker 2: institution at the at that time, the the person that
12:44
Speaker 2: I was doing the radio shows said, I don't know
12:46
Speaker 2: why you're talking about this gambling.
12:47
Speaker 1: Stuff, Like it's not like what what No one cares.
12:51
Speaker 1: No one cares about the point spread.
12:52
Speaker 2: No one cares, No one cares, No one thinks about
12:54
Speaker 2: the over under, no one cares about what these guys
12:56
Speaker 2: player props are. And now less than a decade later,
13:00
Speaker 2: they're building out parlays with Kernie or Ernie, Charles and
13:04
Speaker 2: Shack before the game.
13:05
Speaker 1: On inside the NBA and every pregame shows.
13:08
Speaker 2: Doing it became a quick part of the sports lexicon
13:12
Speaker 2: like that, No doubt, it always was in the semi underworld,
13:16
Speaker 2: in the stuff that you couldn't couldn't talk about. But
13:19
Speaker 2: I mean, well, Jimmy the Greek did, and Brent Musburger
13:22
Speaker 2: would slyly throw.
13:23
Speaker 1: It in you know, the King.
13:28
Speaker 4: Note, Michael, I had, uh, some some of our viewers
13:33
Speaker 4: maybe feeling under the weather at the end of this game.
13:35
Speaker 4: Somebody's sitting here saying, oh yes, and the others are saying,
13:39
Speaker 4: you've got.
13:40
Speaker 1: To be kidding that. Brent told the story.
13:43
Speaker 2: I can't remember if it was with DPH as he
13:45
Speaker 2: went into the Hall of Fame last year, which is
13:49
Speaker 2: long overdue. He invented the pregame show right like, he
13:51
Speaker 2: was the first guy on the pregame show, and he
13:55
Speaker 2: told a story about when he pitched Jimmy to be
13:58
Speaker 2: a part of the the NFL today, right, and he
14:02
Speaker 2: had said, like Pete Roselle at the times, I love
14:05
Speaker 2: that idea, great, it'd be awesome. And then like the
14:09
Speaker 2: day before the game, about a week after they had
14:12
Speaker 2: agreed to it, and he said, you know, just don't
14:14
Speaker 2: say that that's spread or you know, over unders and
14:17
Speaker 2: different things like just don't use the words, but definitely
14:20
Speaker 2: talk about it. It's like wait a second, wait, hold on,
14:23
Speaker 2: So you want us to do a segment where we
14:26
Speaker 2: talk about betting on the game, but we can't say
14:30
Speaker 2: what the line is, who's favored, or what it actually means.
14:33
Speaker 2: So that was where all of the creativity to be
14:36
Speaker 2: able to slyly mention it throughout and then like oh
14:40
Speaker 2: wait still, remember when I first got cueued in on
14:44
Speaker 2: sports wagering when I was six years old and my
14:46
Speaker 2: dad was waking up early with me because I couldn't
14:49
Speaker 2: pour the cheerios into the bowl and the milk at
14:51
Speaker 2: the same time. I could get the cereal drew as
14:53
Speaker 2: you always say, I can get the milk, I couldn't
14:54
Speaker 2: get it at the same time. It was never gonna
14:56
Speaker 2: work that way, so Dad had to wake up for
14:58
Speaker 2: the mess. But I remember watching Chris Berman to go
15:02
Speaker 2: through all of his games, Like, Dad, why does that
15:04
Speaker 2: one have a minus two? Why does that team? Why
15:07
Speaker 2: is that team's number green when they lost? That doesn't
15:10
Speaker 2: make any sense. He goes, I'll teach you when you're old. Yeah,
15:13
Speaker 2: I'll teach you when you're older. And then that fateful
15:15
Speaker 2: day at lambeau Field when the Bears and Packers met
15:18
Speaker 2: up and we're in the kmart lot and hear in
15:20
Speaker 2: a bantering about of a minus three Packers are laying three,
15:24
Speaker 2: laying three. They beat the Bears thirty six nothing that day.
15:27
Speaker 2: And that was the first day that I ever got in,
15:29
Speaker 2: got in with my pastors, got I split that with you, goes, buddy,
15:33
Speaker 2: you don't have any money, but yes, And that was
15:36
Speaker 2: when that was when the first w came through. And
15:38
Speaker 2: then in twenty eighteen we were all able to, you know,
15:40
Speaker 2: discuss it. Soon enough, we'll betting from our seats. It's
15:44
Speaker 2: here in Milwaukee. It's coming right here in Milwaukee. Soon enough,
15:46
Speaker 2: we'll finally be able to cause that Potawatami sports book
15:49
Speaker 2: app is getting closer and closer by the day. Our boy,
15:53
Speaker 2: Justin Ournett is working it out, working've been working.
15:55
Speaker 1: For a while on that one. So it's it's getting closer,

16:00
Speaker 1: mean to freaking out about your anniversary. But you guys,
16:03

16:14
Speaker 5: Hey you guys have anniversary. Oh yeah, hey have anniversary.

Speaker 1: Yea. What They're like, well, yeah, I mean you set
16:33
Speaker 1: up the Vegas weekend.

16:38
Speaker 1: It's become a tradition. Now we're celebrating your anniversary.
16:41

16:44
Speaker 1: It is nice.
16:45
Speaker 2: Set the appointment listening and appointment viewing fantastic. There are
16:49
Speaker 2: some a lot of people that are very excited hoping
16:51
Speaker 2: that we're gonna get more schedule leaks out here. Drew,
16:56
Speaker 2: I feel like it would be malpractice and downright rude
16:59
Speaker 2: if we tried to leak out more things before our
17:02
Speaker 2: intrepid schedule maker, Hunter bomb Guard came through here.
17:05
Speaker 1: That's true now because he makes the schedule for us.
17:07
Speaker 5: He loves it.
17:08
Speaker 1: He loves NFL schedules.
17:11
Speaker 2: And when we're going to figure out when the wild
17:12
Speaker 2: card games are gonna be the week eighteen games, I.
17:15
Speaker 1: Imagine this is like his super Bowl. And if you
17:17
Speaker 1: and if you cross him and you get one wrong,
17:19
Speaker 1: he'll never forgive you. And Hunters not a guy, that's
17:22
Speaker 1: not a forgiving kind of guy, but this is there
17:25
Speaker 1: are some things he won't tolerate, and that's one of
17:27
Speaker 1: them he'll never stop talking about. I'm forging Jordan Schultz.
17:31
Speaker 2: Last year, our Hunter was sitting right there and I
17:33
Speaker 2: think he proclaimed Jordan Schultz.
17:35
Speaker 1: Now that it is dead to me, which is something
17:39
Speaker 1: you don't hear about anybody.
17:41
Speaker 5: Love that love that Hunter's gonna join us. Next, we'll
17:44
Speaker 5: talk Brewers as they get ready for the series finale
17:46
Speaker 5: against the padres this afternoon, American Family Field twelve forty
17:49
Speaker 5: first pitch.
17:50
Speaker 3: I don't know.
17:51
Speaker 5: Will there be a lot of school kids there today,
17:52
Speaker 5: It's end of the coming towards the end of the
17:54
Speaker 5: school year.
17:54
Speaker 2: He's gonna say, this would have to be this would
17:57
Speaker 2: have to be a a field trip action.
18:00
Speaker 1: Is this a senior skip day too?
18:02
Speaker 5: I don't know.
18:02
Speaker 2: Right middle of May, this would have been a perfect
18:05
Speaker 2: time for us skip day.
18:07
Speaker 1: I think ours was later on in May. That was
18:09
Speaker 1: a fun day.
18:10
Speaker 5: We're gonna talk to Hunter Bombguard about the Brewers that's
18:12
Speaker 5: bad on the grill. Next, you're listening to the Huddle
18:15
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsinly, I want.
18:17
Speaker 6: To make sure that everybody understands the final score.
18:20
Speaker 1: That's what's important here.
18:22
Speaker 6: They took the safety and it is sixteen to twelve.
18:26
Speaker 6: That is the final score of the game. Now Green
18:29
Speaker 6: Bay wins it as Hintery runs out the clock.
18:39
Speaker 5: It's the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billy and
18:43
Speaker 5: Arman bringing it to you from headquarters. We're entering the
18:46
Speaker 5: home stretch of our program today, which begins at five
18:49
Speaker 5: and ends at eight and on Mondays and Thursdays, it
18:52
Speaker 5: includes an appearance by our good friend Hunter Bombguard, fresh
18:55
Speaker 5: as a daisy after a night at the ballpark and
18:58
Speaker 5: getting ready for a matine today. Hunter, welcome back to
19:00
Speaker 5: the huddle.
19:02
Speaker 7: Yes, thanks for having me and fresh as a daisy indeed. Oh,
19:06
Speaker 7: that was a gut wrenching one last night, a tough loss, Cookies.
19:10
Speaker 5: We were looking at the positives though the silver lining
19:13
Speaker 5: was miss being just sublime seven innings. Hunter, We've never
19:16
Speaker 5: seen anything like that with a guy. His ninety third
19:19
Speaker 5: pitch was one hundred and three.
19:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that was one of those where you
19:23
Speaker 7: look up and you say, he really just hit one
19:25
Speaker 7: O three. We're looking at each other in the press
19:28
Speaker 7: box there, just absolutely dialed it up and you thought,
19:31
Speaker 7: oh no, he's okay. That was the last pitch of
19:33
Speaker 7: the night, and then he comes back out for the eighth.
19:35
Speaker 7: Of course, he has the cramps and doesn't pitch in
19:37
Speaker 7: the eighth inning, but he ties his career high going
19:40
Speaker 7: seven innings. He's just he's got the most games with
19:44
Speaker 7: ten plus strikeouts in the majors right now at four.
19:47
Speaker 7: I mean, he's got the most strikeouts in the majors
19:49
Speaker 7: right now. We talked about, you know what his ceiling
19:51
Speaker 7: could be the other day earlier this week, and it
19:53
Speaker 7: just I don't think you can put one on him
19:56
Speaker 7: right now because it is just so dominant what he's
19:58
Speaker 7: doing and against really good lineups. The Yankees and Padres
20:01
Speaker 7: have some of the best hitters in ball. When you
20:03
Speaker 7: look top to bottom at these lineups and he is
20:05
Speaker 7: just mowing them down.
20:07
Speaker 2: What do you hear from different guys in the clubhouse
20:09
Speaker 2: right Because when they see him on a daily basis,
20:12
Speaker 2: we almost Arman joked about it, like you can almost
20:14
Speaker 2: get just used to the greatness in the ability. But
20:18
Speaker 2: when the guys that see it every single day and
20:20
Speaker 2: see the bullpens and they still are are astounded by it,
20:24
Speaker 2: it seems like that kind of those words ring even
20:28
Speaker 2: more important.
20:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
20:31
Speaker 7: I mean the starters have talked about it, the bullpen
20:33
Speaker 7: guys have talked about it, just you know, kind of
20:36
Speaker 7: the how special he is. I know Yelly talked about
20:38
Speaker 7: it last year and saying that, you know, it's it's
20:41
Speaker 7: it's amazing to come out of the gate like that,
20:43
Speaker 7: and you know, hopefully you can sustain it. Well, he
20:45
Speaker 7: definitely has sustained it. He's almost a year into his
20:48
Speaker 7: major league career now, you know, June twelfth was his
20:52
Speaker 7: debut last year, and since then he is the best
20:55
Speaker 7: strikeout per nine inning rate of anybody in baseball since
20:58
Speaker 7: that June twelfth date of last year. I talked to
21:01
Speaker 7: Andrew Vaughan yesterday and I'm like, do you find yourself
21:03
Speaker 7: like peeking over at the velocity or the miles an
21:07
Speaker 7: hour that's that's going up on the on the scoreboard.
21:10
Speaker 7: And he's like, He's like, I I can hear it
21:12
Speaker 7: when it hits the glove. He's like, I can tell
21:14
Speaker 7: right when it hits the glub what it sounds like,
21:16
Speaker 7: and and that sort of thing. So it's it's those
21:19
Speaker 7: guys know and and they love playing behind them because
21:22
Speaker 7: they know they obviously are going to have a good
21:24
Speaker 7: chance to win, and obviously they're not going to have
21:27
Speaker 7: to do a lot of work with them on a
21:28
Speaker 7: strikeouts that guy gets.
21:29
Speaker 3: So it is that's the thing.
21:31
Speaker 7: It's it's just a it's a dominant performance, and the
21:34
Speaker 7: guys around him are I think there are some guys
21:37
Speaker 7: that are in awe. They've seen a lot in baseball,
21:39
Speaker 7: those guys that played a lot of baseball, but this
21:42
Speaker 7: is a different level of dominance.
21:43
Speaker 2: I also love that he triggers people because of just
21:46
Speaker 2: like who you Bob Nightingale put out of tweet guys
21:48
Speaker 2: last night, He's like, don't think anyone's going to be
21:50
Speaker 2: complaining this time when the Brewers Ace finds his way
21:53
Speaker 2: out of the All Star team. And then the first
21:55
Speaker 2: two comments are from Cubs accounts. One got to hand
21:58
Speaker 2: it to the nerd. He's literal fire lately and nonoying
22:00
Speaker 2: but cool but also annoying. The next one, it'd be really.
22:02
Speaker 1: Cool if he wasn't such a dork.
22:04
Speaker 2: I do love the fact that he's a little he's
22:06
Speaker 2: a little bit nerdy, little funny, little quirky, but uh,
22:09
Speaker 2: he's got a weird, boyish charm that has to be
22:12
Speaker 2: so deflating. When you're in the batter's box he's pumping
22:14
Speaker 2: one hundred and three at He's like, huh, it's fun.
22:17
Speaker 2: That's fun. Like he's got that little giggle that I
22:19
Speaker 2: understand why opponents would be like, I hate this dude,
22:23
Speaker 2: and I can't stand how good he is and how
22:25
Speaker 2: annoying he can be.
22:27
Speaker 7: Totally, it's like it's it's you know, some of those
22:30
Speaker 7: I don't think it's to this extreme, but obviously some
22:32
Speaker 7: of those players in sports that you love when you're
22:33
Speaker 7: on they're on your team, and you don't love when
22:36
Speaker 7: when you're facing them. I think obviously that's a part
22:38
Speaker 7: of this talent wise, and obviously batters don't enjoy facing mizuh.
22:43
Speaker 7: You know, you look at Jackson Merrill's reaction last night
22:46
Speaker 7: after his first st at bat, like, I don't know
22:47
Speaker 7: what in the world I just face, but I'm gonna
22:49
Speaker 7: have to do it three more times, two or three
22:51
Speaker 7: more times to night. And and you know or Fernando
22:55
Speaker 7: Tattist Junior who goes too for two in his first
22:57
Speaker 7: two at bats against him, and then his third app
22:59
Speaker 7: bat and he strikes out on three pitches, like it
23:01
Speaker 7: just it seemed. The great thing about miss last night
23:04
Speaker 7: was he seemed to get better as it went on,
23:07
Speaker 7: retired as last fourteen he faced, you know, those one, two,
23:10
Speaker 7: three innings, he went eight pitches, eight pitches, seven pitches
23:13
Speaker 7: in the middle of those innings, and it just was
23:15
Speaker 7: so efficient late in the game.
23:17
Speaker 3: And that's what we saw against the Yankees.
23:19
Speaker 7: I mean, dialing up those high you know, high speed
23:22
Speaker 7: pitches late in the game, and that is it's one
23:26
Speaker 7: thing to do it early in the game. Jeff pass
23:28
Speaker 7: And tweeted it out last night. He's like, we've never
23:30
Speaker 7: seen someone just sustain this throughout six seven thing, And
23:34
Speaker 7: that's exactly what he did last night. When your last
23:36
Speaker 7: pitch is one oh three at the ninety third pitch
23:39
Speaker 7: in the seventh in.
23:40
Speaker 1: The sustaining of it, it's not just like reaching back
23:42
Speaker 1: a few times, it's the sustainment is that's not a word,
23:45
Speaker 1: but the sustaining of that performance is the most incredible thing.
23:49
Speaker 1: And you know, in the back of your mind then
23:50
Speaker 1: you're always worried about okay, you know, you know, the
23:53
Speaker 1: wear and tearing those things, an injury. I don't want
23:56
Speaker 1: to be an e or I mean talked about this earlier,
23:58
Speaker 1: to just expect that it's gonna happen. However, it's gonna
24:01
Speaker 1: make you think, like the most important for them thing,
24:04
Speaker 1: for them as a staff, as a unit, as an organization,
24:07
Speaker 1: is to find the right way to maintain him and
24:09
Speaker 1: maintain his health when he's doing stuff that not many
24:13
Speaker 1: humans have done.
24:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a really good point, and I
24:17
Speaker 7: think it I think it's in the back of the
24:19
Speaker 7: minds of so many of so many Brewers, fans it's like,
24:22
Speaker 7: I don't you know, we haven't seen this before, so
24:24
Speaker 7: how is his arm gonna hold up? But you know,
24:27
Speaker 7: I I don't know. I mean, he's kind of a
24:29
Speaker 7: freaking nature anyway, So maybe that is that lends itself
24:32
Speaker 7: to that being beneficial as he moves forward in his career.
24:35
Speaker 7: I do think the cramp thing, they do need to
24:38
Speaker 7: at least take a look, and they will, and Pat
24:40
Speaker 7: Murphy alluded to, you know, they've got the people in
24:42
Speaker 7: house that can figure that out. Not so much that
24:45
Speaker 7: the cramp is an issue, but if he, you know,
24:48
Speaker 7: starts to feel that in in you know, it's two
24:50
Speaker 7: out of three starts now, and if that starts to
24:52
Speaker 7: become something not just that he has to exit the game,
24:55
Speaker 7: but also how does he maybe ad just how he's
24:58
Speaker 7: pitching then due to the and does that cause some
25:01
Speaker 7: sort of other harm that you don't want? So I
25:03
Speaker 7: feel like that is something that and it's it's it's
25:06
Speaker 7: not like a severe injury or something that is even
25:09
Speaker 7: gonna make him miss a start, but more so something
25:11
Speaker 7: that they should keep an eye on, just to make
25:13
Speaker 7: sure it doesn't affect something else within his body.
25:16
Speaker 5: We are chatting Brewers with Hunter bombguart Our go to Man.
25:19
Speaker 5: He will be at the ballpark today for the twelve
25:22
Speaker 5: forty first pitch and then hosting Milwaukee's baseball tonight tonight
25:26
Speaker 5: at six o'clock. Hunter, one of the things that struck
25:30
Speaker 5: me last night we had a three hit performance by Renhifo,
25:34
Speaker 5: who is no longer the mayor of Slump City. I
25:36
Speaker 5: think the Portez maybe or Mitchell Mitchell. And I'm fine,
25:40
Speaker 5: and I'm getting a vibe. People are mad at Garrett Mitchell.
25:43
Speaker 5: I know you've been one of his bigger fans, but
25:45
Speaker 5: Freela didn't exactly set in the world on fire either.
25:47
Speaker 5: A couple of knocks for him yesterday. What's it gonna
25:50
Speaker 5: look like when he gets hot? Because he has not
25:53
Speaker 5: yet in nothing close these first two months.
25:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's not looking like he was last year. So
26:00
Speaker 7: I think the the offense just continues to get deeper
26:03
Speaker 7: if he gets hot. Same with Garrett Mitchell. I mean,
26:05
Speaker 7: Mitchell started the year really well, but yeah, over the
26:07
Speaker 7: last month or so, it's just has not been good.
26:09
Speaker 7: Worries about Mitchell is the strikeouts and and that is
26:12
Speaker 7: just you know that that it's just killing him right now. Uh,
26:16
Speaker 7: and so obviously that is something that that everybody's watching
26:19
Speaker 7: and that he's trying to rectify. The South Freelick thing
26:23
Speaker 7: is like, I believe that he can come out of this.
26:25
Speaker 7: I think we've seen the player that he is, and
26:27
Speaker 7: he's you know, he's not going to hit a million
26:28
Speaker 7: home runs and it's it's just going to be find
26:31
Speaker 7: a way to get on base. And I feel like
26:32
Speaker 7: he's starting to do that a little more here in
26:34
Speaker 7: these last few days. And I think honestly getting the
26:37
Speaker 7: guys like a churio of Vanna Yelich back is going
26:39
Speaker 7: to help all of these guys because of the pitches
26:41
Speaker 7: they're going to see. So maybe that helps going forward.
26:44
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think I think Freelick and Mitchell are
26:47
Speaker 7: you know, Ortiz is what Ortiz is at this point,
26:50
Speaker 7: Like I I I think we we know we're getting,
26:52
Speaker 7: but the the with the guys like Mitchell, a guy
26:55
Speaker 7: like Freelick, you you know what's in there.
26:57
Speaker 3: You know the talent that's in there.
26:59
Speaker 7: You've obviously seen it with for you like you're wanting
27:00
Speaker 7: to see it consistently with Mitchell throughout a season. I
27:03
Speaker 7: liked it they're continuing to get Mitchell every day at bats.
27:05
Speaker 7: I mean, that's what I was calling for in the beginning.
27:08
Speaker 3: For better or for worse.
27:10
Speaker 7: You should see what you have during a season with
27:12
Speaker 7: Garrett Mitchell and see what he can put together under
27:14
Speaker 7: at sixty two and then if you need to judge
27:16
Speaker 7: off of that, okay, But I do like that he's
27:19
Speaker 7: continued to get at bats because I don't think they
27:21
Speaker 7: have another a better option at this point. You know,
27:24
Speaker 7: Blake Perkins has struggled at the plane. Obviously he's good defensively.
27:27
Speaker 3: I that was notable that they put in Blake Perkins
27:29
Speaker 3: in the ninth inning yesterday. Defensively.
27:31
Speaker 1: I wondered about that.
27:32
Speaker 3: Garrett Mitchell I.
27:33
Speaker 5: Was managing along and I'm like, I wonder if they'll
27:36
Speaker 5: hook Churio because if the game goes extras, you want
27:38
Speaker 5: Turio in there. But if they took Churio off for defense,
27:41
Speaker 5: their best outfield is Freelick, Mitchell and Perkins in some
27:46
Speaker 5: former fashion. And it was And I'm wondering, is that
27:49
Speaker 5: because like he had the misplay the night before, Like
27:51
Speaker 5: I'm just I was wondering what the deal was with that?
27:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wonder, I mean you could you could kind
27:57
Speaker 7: of see that you could kind of see.
28:00
Speaker 3: You know, he did make a throw.
28:02
Speaker 7: I know, I think it was a one hop on
28:03
Speaker 7: that trying to double off at first base. But it
28:05
Speaker 7: was a it was a it was a hard throws
28:07
Speaker 7: of good throws on the money. It just just barely missed.
28:10
Speaker 7: That was the Tatiste. I believe the Tatis slide where
28:13
Speaker 7: he slides into Vaughan and and and they collide over
28:16
Speaker 7: there at first base.
28:17
Speaker 3: But yeah, I I I.
28:19
Speaker 7: Was usually we'd see sometimes a defensive replacement for Churio there.
28:23
Speaker 7: I wonder in a one nothing game, since it was
28:25
Speaker 7: so close, they're like, yeah, we want Churio still in
28:27
Speaker 7: that lineup. And obviously he's been hitting better than than
28:31
Speaker 7: Garrett Mitchell has.
28:32
Speaker 3: Uh. But I think the misplay in center field and.
28:35
Speaker 7: Some of the just it doesn't fully feel like just
28:39
Speaker 7: seeing Garrett Mitchell watching what he does, it doesn't fully
28:41
Speaker 7: feel like he is necessarily back to that fully aggressive
28:48
Speaker 7: center fielder, like you still are seeing maybe that that
28:51
Speaker 7: play where he's worrying. That misplay in center field almost
28:54
Speaker 7: looked like he was worrying a little bit about the wall.
28:56
Speaker 3: And I haven't talked to him about this.
28:58
Speaker 7: Maybe I will, you know, either today or in the
29:00
Speaker 7: coming home, just to see how he's feeling about that,
29:03
Speaker 7: because it's it's one thing to obviously come back from
29:05
Speaker 7: an injury. We talked, We heard about how he was
29:07
Speaker 7: gonna slide differently and dive differently and things like that.
29:11
Speaker 7: I just wonder how much he's thinking out there more
29:14
Speaker 7: than just going out and playing.
29:15
Speaker 3: And I wonder if that's having an impact on.
29:17
Speaker 5: Watching Lockridge go into a wall.
29:19
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little watch. And I don't care who
29:23
Speaker 1: you get. If you've been as hurt as much as
29:26
Speaker 1: Mitchell is and you're doing everything you can to avoid it,
29:28
Speaker 1: and you you're gotta be fearful a little bit in
29:30
Speaker 1: the back of your mind, like I just got to
29:32
Speaker 1: protect myself and try and maintain health for a while.
29:34
Speaker 1: It's not the right way to go. I know it's
29:36
Speaker 1: not the right way to play, but make sure I
29:38
Speaker 1: can't blame his instinct for that also it Murphy is
29:41
Speaker 1: the type of guy that would be the manager to
29:43
Speaker 1: sit him down a little bit if he makes a mistake,
29:45
Speaker 1: to kind of not punish him. But he did that
29:47
Speaker 1: with Durban last year. If you remember, for a couple
29:49
Speaker 1: of Flick and Free Lick, it's like, you got to
29:51
Speaker 1: stay focused. So that might be something he's doing a
29:53
Speaker 1: little bit to try and to try and motivate a
29:56
Speaker 1: little bit.
29:56
Speaker 5: It'll be interesting Hunter. As much as we're raving about
29:59
Speaker 5: Miz and his out there's a guy that only gets
30:01
Speaker 5: noticed when he gives up runs and stuff. Ashby was
30:04
Speaker 5: filthy last night to the point where I wondered, you know,
30:07
Speaker 5: they had your Rebay up. It's like, I get it,
30:09
Speaker 5: he's the closer, but man had to be tempting to
30:12
Speaker 5: send Ashby out there for another inning because he is
30:14
Speaker 5: filthy man, He's his stuff is missus stuff is like
30:18
Speaker 5: you know, we've never seen, but Ashby stuff is pretty
30:21
Speaker 5: spectacular too. What do you think of the way he's
30:24
Speaker 5: going and the way they're using him, and just like
30:26
Speaker 5: what his role might be a multi inning guy pitching
30:28
Speaker 5: the eighth and ninth. My thinking was, sign me up
30:31
Speaker 5: for that. Give Ashby the ninth and then you got
30:34
Speaker 5: McGill and your Rebay fresh for the serious finale when
30:36
Speaker 5: you're going for the sweep.
30:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wouldn't have totally disagreed with that. I think
30:42
Speaker 7: they are trying to, you know, give Abner Rebay that
30:44
Speaker 7: closer role.
30:45
Speaker 3: I mean it's clear they.
30:46
Speaker 7: Have switched that role over to Abner Rebay from Trevor McGill,
30:51
Speaker 7: and the Brewers have even made a little more of
30:53
Speaker 7: a closer entrance.
30:54
Speaker 3: When he comes in. Now you got a little more
30:56
Speaker 3: of an.
30:56
Speaker 7: Entrance for him, and unfortunately just didn't work out for you.
31:00
Speaker 7: I'm fine going with your Rebay last night. But the
31:03
Speaker 7: problem with it is is it just it Unfortunately the
31:07
Speaker 7: Brewers have and we haven't seen this out of a
31:09
Speaker 7: Brewers team in a while, where they just have some
31:12
Speaker 7: games this year, in this first month and a half
31:14
Speaker 7: two months of the season, where they're given these leads
31:17
Speaker 7: up in the ninth inning and we just don't see
31:19
Speaker 7: that whoever it is McGill or Rebay, like, we're just
31:22
Speaker 7: not used to seeing that. We're seeing all used to
31:25
Speaker 7: seeing all star closers in Milwaukee and they've we all know,
31:28
Speaker 7: you know, the hater to Williams, to you know, McGill
31:30
Speaker 7: being an All Star last year, like, these guys have
31:33
Speaker 7: been very consistent and so to see inconsistency in that
31:37
Speaker 7: spot you kind of in years past thought, Okay, once
31:40
Speaker 7: you get to seven, eight nine, you're in pretty good shape,
31:42
Speaker 7: even in a one nothing lead and last night just
31:44
Speaker 7: wasn't the case. Now Rerebay has been I think pretty good.
31:48
Speaker 7: I think he has the swagger the closer. I think
31:50
Speaker 7: he has the mindset of the closer. And unfortunately it
31:52
Speaker 7: didn't work out last night. No one run lead is
31:55
Speaker 7: tougher than say a three run lead when you're in
31:56
Speaker 7: a safe situation. But boy, yeah, Aaron Ashby is a
32:01
Speaker 7: guy who can do it all. I mean you saw him.
32:04
Speaker 7: I believe it was what ninth and tenth against the
32:06
Speaker 7: Yankees on Saturday night, Like he is in those leveraged positions.
32:11
Speaker 7: And I wouldn't be surprised if you know, matchups present
32:15
Speaker 7: themselves that they think Ashby is better than Uribay in
32:17
Speaker 7: that spot. Maybe you do see him in that. I mean,
32:19
Speaker 7: Ashby's just filthy. I mean what he's making batters look
32:23
Speaker 7: like is just phenomenal. You're also seeing the way he
32:27
Speaker 7: can be used in multiple different roles. I also think
32:31
Speaker 7: one of the interesting things we learned from Pat Murphy
32:33
Speaker 7: yesterday is they were talking about Chad Patrick a little bit,
32:35
Speaker 7: and he is a guy who was skipped in this
32:38
Speaker 7: rotation round. He pitched obviously twice out of the bullpen
32:41
Speaker 7: in the last five days and Pat Murphy said that
32:44
Speaker 7: that could kind of be his role. He's like, we
32:46
Speaker 7: know we can get length out of them, but will
32:48
Speaker 7: it be at the beginning of the game, will it
32:49
Speaker 7: be in the middle of the game.
32:50
Speaker 3: Ble it'd be at the end of the game.
32:51
Speaker 7: They kind of want to keep opponents off their toes
32:53
Speaker 7: when it comes to Chad Patrick. So he may end
32:56
Speaker 7: up getting a start here, maybe even Saturday, we'll see
32:59
Speaker 7: what's the problem come out because they're gonna need someone
33:01
Speaker 7: for Saturday, and who knows, he might be the guy,
33:03
Speaker 7: but or it might be an opener for him. But
33:05
Speaker 7: it sounds like and he kind of compared him to
33:07
Speaker 7: Ashby saying, you know, not necessarily the stuff level, but
33:10
Speaker 7: saying he could kind of, he emphasized, kind of be
33:14
Speaker 7: a you know, Aaron Ashby from the right side type
33:17
Speaker 7: of role that we see out of Chad Patrick moving forward,
33:20
Speaker 7: especially once Woody and Priester come back.
33:22
Speaker 2: It makes some sense after how successful he was in
33:24
Speaker 2: the bullbend last year in the playoffs too, right, like
33:27
Speaker 2: to see it and see that you've been able to
33:29
Speaker 2: do it makes sense to take a swing at it.
33:31
Speaker 2: Any idea, any thought that you are looking to you know,
33:36
Speaker 2: skip Avener, your Rebay with an opportunity. I know you
33:38
Speaker 2: pitched it back to back day, so probably unavailable today
33:40
Speaker 2: if you're in a safe situation like Murf gave McGill
33:44
Speaker 2: a couple of opportunities. McGill's been better, but maybe not
33:47
Speaker 2: still absolute nails to have any issue or do you
33:51
Speaker 2: think this is just a blip on the radar And
33:52
Speaker 2: when you nearly decapitate your WBC teammate with the first pitch,
33:56
Speaker 2: was that just a doomed start or appearance from the start?
34:00
Speaker 3: Yeah? That was that was yikes. Uh.
34:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he will get the next save opportunity,
34:06
Speaker 7: like you said, provided it's not today, because I do
34:09
Speaker 7: think someone else will get it today.
34:10
Speaker 3: I mean likely McGill.
34:11
Speaker 7: I mean, let McGill's pitch, you know, leverage in the
34:13
Speaker 7: eighth inning, and they're not afraid to give him leverage.
34:15
Speaker 7: They just haven't give him that save opportunity quite yet.
34:20
Speaker 7: I do think after Rebay is the closer until further notice.
34:24
Speaker 7: But I do also think it is possible, uh that
34:26
Speaker 7: if he struggles again, they could be looking at another problem.
34:29
Speaker 7: I just man, it's it's tough to because then you're
34:32
Speaker 7: in a spot where two guys have failed in that
34:34
Speaker 7: are you getting it to a third guy? You're gonna
34:35
Speaker 7: go to your first guy like you, somebody's got to
34:38
Speaker 7: take hold of this position. I do think Rebay is
34:40
Speaker 7: is can do it and is the most likely for that.
34:43
Speaker 7: And you're not gonna have a you know, it's rare
34:45
Speaker 7: that you have a closer like a Mason Miller, who's
34:47
Speaker 7: just you know, he's the exceptional time and exactly the
34:51
Speaker 7: hater the Williams, like those guys in their heydays, like
34:54
Speaker 7: like those that that is the exception. So I think
34:57
Speaker 7: we kind of have to get used to maybe there
34:59
Speaker 7: is a time time or two where these guys are
35:01
Speaker 7: gonna fall unfortunately, But I think Rebay is the guy
35:05
Speaker 7: moving forward at least for now.
35:06
Speaker 1: No matter what we think about in twenty twenty six,
35:09
Speaker 1: pitchers will give up runs. No, I mean, we just
35:12
Speaker 1: get locked in think they should never give up runs,
35:15
Speaker 1: and it will have to. It's also interesting Buster Only
35:18
Speaker 1: had a great, really quick article about how this is
35:20
Speaker 1: a league wide issue this year with instability at the
35:22
Speaker 1: closure position, and it's so it's been you know, the
35:26
Speaker 1: Mason Miller is the exception of the rule, but most
35:29
Speaker 1: Clubs that thought they had reliable closers are going through
35:32
Speaker 1: issues with their closer. Now maybe that's just how hey
35:35
Speaker 1: we look We do the same with kickers in football.
35:36
Speaker 1: We look at them differently, like the ceiling. The floor
35:40
Speaker 1: increases for what we think the standard of performance should be.
35:44
Speaker 1: But there's more teams that have more guys in that
35:47
Speaker 1: role trying to get saves than normal this year.
35:50
Speaker 5: That's true, all right, huts are on the way out
35:52
Speaker 5: here the Orthpeedic Associates Wisconsin Injury Report. Yelich plays one
35:55
Speaker 5: day out the next. Is he truly day to day
35:58
Speaker 5: at now? His back not his a doctor? Where are
36:01
Speaker 5: we with him? And what's the updates on Priester and
36:05
Speaker 5: some of the others this Strisny and some of the
36:06
Speaker 5: other guys coming back.
36:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was the That was very interesting with Yelly
36:12
Speaker 7: yesterday a little behind the scenes. We were talking to
36:14
Speaker 7: Pat Murphy before the game and about halfway through the
36:17
Speaker 7: lineup came out and I kind of looked at it
36:19
Speaker 7: and I kind of had to take like a double
36:21
Speaker 7: and triple check, like, okay, is this wait? Am I
36:24
Speaker 7: missing something here? Why is it Yelly in there? So
36:26
Speaker 7: then right before the end of the press conference. I
36:28
Speaker 7: asked Murphy and was like, are you are you trying
36:31
Speaker 7: to ease him back? Like what's going on here? And
36:33
Speaker 7: he's like, no, he had a sore back after last night.
36:35
Speaker 7: And he's like, Yelich wants to play, but I'm not
36:39
Speaker 7: going to chance it here. He's basically like, I'm not
36:41
Speaker 7: going to listen to him on this one. You know,
36:43
Speaker 7: Murphy is a very players coach, but he is also
36:46
Speaker 7: he also has that bone in his body to say.
36:50
Speaker 3: We're going to keep you out.
36:51
Speaker 7: We're going to make the best decision long term health.
36:55
Speaker 7: Instead of a you know, Wednesday night game in May,
36:57
Speaker 7: We're going to make sure you're ready for June and
36:59
Speaker 7: July and hopefully August, September and October. I do wonder
37:03
Speaker 7: he didn't even pinch hit last night. I would think that,
37:05
Speaker 7: you know, the Gary Sanchez pinch hit for Ortiz the ninth,
37:08
Speaker 7: I would think that would have been Yelich if Yelich
37:10
Speaker 7: was available to do so, so that worries me a
37:12
Speaker 7: little bit. We'll see obviously if he's in the lineup
37:14
Speaker 7: today here in a few hours, Murph does not have
37:17
Speaker 7: a pregame availability, so we won't get to hear from
37:19
Speaker 7: him before the game, but otherwise that does worry me
37:23
Speaker 7: a little bit, but again, he was a month off
37:25
Speaker 7: from playing a game. Yes, you can simulate baseball activities.
37:28
Speaker 7: Yes you can be on the field hitting and everything
37:29
Speaker 7: like that, but nothing simulates an actual game. And I
37:32
Speaker 7: think that is maybe it just kind of came back
37:35
Speaker 7: his body was like whoa, what are you doing? And
37:37
Speaker 7: hopefully it tones back down as we move forward. But yeah, otherwise,
37:42
Speaker 7: everything's about the same as Monday. As far as you know,
37:44
Speaker 7: Priester is going to start for the Timber Atler's Saturday.
37:46
Speaker 7: Woodriff was scheduled for a bullpen today, which is good.
37:49
Speaker 7: Rob Zie has started his rehab assignment, so canig through
37:52
Speaker 7: a bullpen earlier this week. So everybody's on the road,
37:56
Speaker 7: and I would say that maybe of those rob Zi
37:59
Speaker 7: is probably the more likely to come back first.
38:02

38:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, they didn't get Thanksgiving, so I had a feeling
38:41
Speaker 7: maybe Christmas was was on the was on the docket,
38:44
Speaker 7: but we said it was last year that he said that.
38:47
Speaker 7: He said the Packers after our plane, I think it
38:50
Speaker 7: was Christmas and not Thanksgiving. And then they ended up
38:53
Speaker 7: flipped around, Yeah it was yeah, and then they swapped
38:56
Speaker 7: the whole thing around.
38:57
Speaker 3: And at that point it was like, no, all right,
