0:00
Speaker 1: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid, Armand Sorry, and it's buy or
0:03
Speaker 1: Sell Tuesday, and we're having some fun with squirrel talk
0:08
Speaker 1: as we speak, they're running the highlight on Good Morning America.
0:11
Speaker 2: They love this highlight.
0:12
Speaker 3: I saw him breaking it down ESPN. Yeah, the drawing
0:15
Speaker 3: and the illustrator. Guys, Oh good, exactly.
0:18
Speaker 1: So we're taking your buyer cell propositions eight seven seven
0:20
Speaker 1: seven nine three. You're having some fun with Armand's already
0:24
Speaker 1: freezing cold. Take yes, already. Grounds crew should have done
0:27
Speaker 1: a better job and been better prepared older than a
0:29
Speaker 1: cat which was running for his life, which you know,
0:34
Speaker 1: we think was pretty difficult.
0:36
Speaker 2: Head of those guys were just happy to be on
0:38
Speaker 2: the field jumping around.
0:39
Speaker 1: Mark and Madison said, the horses dead, guys, quit beating it. Yeah,
0:42
Speaker 1: that's right. We're gonna spend the next five minutes spinning
0:44
Speaker 1: the wheel of cliches with Mark and Madison. Horse is dead.
0:48
Speaker 4: That would also uh start it wave and fly completely
0:53
Speaker 4: in the face of all the other texts that Hey, Mark,
0:56
Speaker 4: let's we're going to give one hundred and ten for you. Yes, hey,
1:00
Speaker 4: so we're gonna run through the tape. There's no qu
1:02
Speaker 4: in this show at the end of the day. It
1:04
Speaker 4: is what it is, right, I mean, you know, so.
1:06
Speaker 1: Sorry, Mark, We'll go back to playing the hits. Is
1:08
Speaker 1: what it is.
1:09
Speaker 3: Ranger seven Mariners, three Pirates, three max too Orioles, eight Tigers,
1:13
Speaker 3: five Marlins.
1:15
Speaker 1: That's right.
1:16
Speaker 4: Uh, keep the coming, Jerry in a plow truck, Arman.
1:21
Speaker 4: You know why you've never seen a squirrel attacking a
1:23
Speaker 4: guy's face, wise, Jerry, because their whole existence is based
1:26
Speaker 4: off of being elusive and staying out of danger aka
1:29
Speaker 4: not getting caught by large predators crowding around them.
1:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so I'll admit that they are trying to
1:34
Speaker 3: get out of the way, which is why the idea
1:37
Speaker 3: that they were gonna jump in your face a little weird,
1:39
Speaker 3: I thought. Okay, that's why I thought that, Derek.
1:41
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
1:41
Speaker 3: Now, there were there were always certain squirrels that were
1:44
Speaker 3: more uh we were a little more courageous, and they
1:46
Speaker 3: were braver than others we saw the I remember during college,
1:49
Speaker 3: you know, there were some big, fat squirrels on campus
1:51
Speaker 3: that were going rep to people and trying because people
1:53
Speaker 3: were feeding them.
1:53
Speaker 2: That's what these squirrels.
1:54
Speaker 3: If we want to catch a squirrel, you probably need
1:57
Speaker 3: to give it some food, right attractive thing you know. Now,
2:00
Speaker 3: I'll admit they probably weren't expecting the situation to occur,
2:03
Speaker 3: so they probably didn't have squirrel snacks on the hand, okay,
2:06
Speaker 3: ready to attract. But there are some squirrels that will
2:10
Speaker 3: will come, will come fairly close to you because they wanted.
2:13
Speaker 2: They want a nice snack or a meal. They're not
2:15
Speaker 2: that afraid.
2:16
Speaker 1: There were some in a ballpark, probably not probably not
2:20
Speaker 1: the calmst Yeah.
2:22
Speaker 4: But Drew, it's pretty It's pretty comparable to Armin sitting
2:25
Speaker 4: in the middle of a wide open grassy field with
2:27
Speaker 4: that beautiful weighted vest on after doing one of his
2:30
Speaker 4: long patented walks to be able to train for a moment.
2:33
Speaker 1: Like, that's the next way elusive, I said, I've seen
2:38
Speaker 1: I've seen at least that many personnel uniform red shirts
2:42
Speaker 1: trying to catch a drunk person running and weaving all
2:44
Speaker 1: around the outfield and had less success than a tiny squirrel.
2:48
Speaker 2: They always they always catch the drunk I eventually, Well,
2:51
Speaker 2: we see.
2:51
Speaker 1: Uh, they just pass out.
2:53
Speaker 4: I was gonna say most of the time that they
2:55
Speaker 4: die out on their own accord. Well, we see more
2:57
Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers players when Jeremy I Love in the
3:00
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals come to town for that joint practice, trying
3:03
Speaker 4: to number four for the Arizona Cardinals invading tacklers that
3:07
Speaker 4: way similarly to that was the.
3:11
Speaker 3: Problem is that what's gonna be to me to watch
3:13
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray on turf? See, those are the things you
3:15
Speaker 3: worry about as a packer. F I mean he could
3:18
Speaker 3: be fit for that, all right, so really quick, Benny
3:20
Speaker 3: did have a response. Now, if you don't know Benny,
3:23
Speaker 3: and Merton is an expert on this, right, you know
3:25
Speaker 3: he's Merton Feeds. He knows about the chickens, he knows
3:27
Speaker 3: about the chicks and the ducks, and he knows about
3:29
Speaker 3: this stuff.
3:29
Speaker 1: He said, I did watch it.
3:30
Speaker 3: Well, I want the Tigers or every MLB team have
3:33
Speaker 3: a net in case something like this happens. It was
3:35
Speaker 3: the slowest scirrel I've ever seen, But catching a squirrel
3:37
Speaker 3: as impossible, and we're taking a crew to get it
3:40
Speaker 3: without a net.
3:41
Speaker 1: Thank you, Benny?
3:41
Speaker 3: All right, fairpoint, Ben, I'll give you that. I will
3:44
Speaker 3: say it was funny watching a bunch of city people
3:46
Speaker 3: trying to catch a squirrel. The squirrel that's kind of
3:48
Speaker 3: more akin to what I was saying, but the net
3:50
Speaker 3: would have helped. I would say, yeah, guy, just me
3:53
Speaker 3: fucking a towel into the ether like we're playing parachutes.
3:56
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you try to cover it up, but
3:58
Speaker 4: right you want to cover it because I want that
4:00
Speaker 4: thing biting me.
4:01
Speaker 2: No, I get that. You want to grab it by
4:03
Speaker 2: the tail.
4:04
Speaker 4: And then you grab it and run it out there
4:06
Speaker 4: and then hopefully toss it safely and humanely outside so
4:10
Speaker 4: you never have to see it again.
4:11
Speaker 1: But those guys were trying.
4:13
Speaker 4: I do also like that there is some good uh
4:15
Speaker 4: that the city folks trying to catch it.
4:17
Speaker 1: Listen. That's also where my reverence for them is coming from. Drew.
4:22
Speaker 4: I am as admittedly so a city slicker from a
4:25
Speaker 4: suburb as you possibly could have.
4:27
Speaker 1: Ye uh like, that's.
4:29
Speaker 4: That's about as far away from something I'm trying to
4:31
Speaker 4: do where the little guys go. We go to the
4:33
Speaker 4: zoo quite often, got the zoo pass, maybe the best
4:36
Speaker 4: value you're gonna have in the city Milwaukee. And I
4:39
Speaker 4: get a chipmunk coming up to me trying to eat
4:42
Speaker 4: like a little bit of the fry. Your boy is
4:44
Speaker 4: putting them feet on top of the bench. I'm staying
4:49
Speaker 4: as far away from the wild animal as possible. The
4:52
Speaker 4: kids are getting as close to and I'm like, dude,
4:54
Speaker 4: let's did you stand a few feet.
4:57
Speaker 1: Back away from this chipmunk.
4:58
Speaker 4: We don't need to be getting live and in person,
5:01
Speaker 4: because again, this isn't Robert Irwin does too good of
5:04
Speaker 4: a job for me to try to become the Discovery Channel.
5:08
Speaker 1: And the clip that we saw and that we reposted
5:11
Speaker 1: and that Benetti was voicing was only part of it.
5:14
Speaker 1: Because I just saw the earlier part where the Orioles
5:17
Speaker 1: outfielder Leonti to Verus shot his glove.
5:20
Speaker 5: Yes, it gotcha on his glove, and so now the
5:23
Speaker 5: squirrel is traumatized here at that point, Yeah, and psychotic,
5:30
Speaker 5: so psychl it's.
5:33
Speaker 2: Like a it's like a it's less brown. Usually squirrels
5:36
Speaker 2: are brown. This thing is like scary looking, you know.
5:39
Speaker 2: I'll admit that this thing is like all dark black
5:42
Speaker 2: fur here. I don't know.
5:44
Speaker 3: I just maybe maybe it got extra scared because of
5:48
Speaker 3: the glove and everything like that.
5:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, and getting banked off the outfield wall. I probably
5:52
Speaker 4: would be a little bit more terrif.
5:54
Speaker 1: The ground screw for fake hustle.
5:57
Speaker 2: The guys are just hanging back.
5:58
Speaker 3: They're just chilling out their cargo shorts and their air
6:01
Speaker 3: Monarchs is killing.
6:03
Speaker 1: Jillets, and I would do the same thing.
6:05
Speaker 6: I'm better.
6:06
Speaker 2: I just was hoping for better from them, you know.
6:09
Speaker 1: Classic all right, it's buy and sell Tuesday, eight seven
6:13
Speaker 1: seven seven seven three. We also need our current electric
6:17
Speaker 1: superhero The game might be the grounds.
6:19
Speaker 4: Guys chasing the I was gonna say, Jason Bennetti wins
6:21
Speaker 4: it for a phenomenal call and not necessary, not as
6:26
Speaker 4: great as Kevin Harlan calling the drunk Streaker on Monday
6:29
Speaker 4: Night Football on Westwood One.
6:31
Speaker 1: This guy is drunk, but there he goes. Uh, this
6:34
Speaker 1: one is pretty dang good.
6:36
Speaker 4: All of those members work superheroes, and much like Drew,
6:40
Speaker 4: the current Electric superheroes they walk amongst us.
6:43
Speaker 1: These folks are gonna be living everyday lives.
6:46
Speaker 4: They're gonna be hanging out, going to get some breakfast
6:48
Speaker 4: this morning, and they might be traumatized and they see
6:51
Speaker 4: a squirrel run out of the tree.
6:53
Speaker 1: Right past them.
6:55
Speaker 4: Driving to the ball game tonight, they might see a
6:58
Speaker 4: score right there and instantly back into some trauma. So
7:00
Speaker 4: you need to know that there are superheroes out there
7:03
Speaker 4: to be able to help you whenever a traumatic experience happens,
7:06
Speaker 4: call Current dot com. We saw sadly far too close
7:11
Speaker 4: to home yesterday with the storms that ravaged the Appleton
7:15
Speaker 4: Fox Valley area, that these storms in the summer are dangerous.
7:19
Speaker 4: They can come on you very very quickly, and you
7:22
Speaker 4: do not want to be one of those left without power.
7:23
Speaker 4: We saw earlier on today over twenty four thousand people
7:26
Speaker 4: down in Kenosha still without power, different smatterings of thirty
7:29
Speaker 4: five hundred around the southeastern portion of the state, tons
7:32
Speaker 4: and hundreds of thousands still up into the Fox Valley area.
7:36
Speaker 4: Stand by generator from Current Electric, a whole home stand
7:40
Speaker 4: by generator. They can give you an assessment, check out
7:43
Speaker 4: if it's right for you. Also give you a year
7:45
Speaker 4: of monitoring in there as well with select systems. But
7:48
Speaker 4: go and get in estimation, Go and get a consultation
7:51
Speaker 4: with them, because Drew, you never know when you need it.
7:53
Speaker 4: The last thing you want to do is be sitting
7:55
Speaker 4: in a home for about three or four days with
7:57
Speaker 4: expiring medicine that you need sitting there in the fridge, no.
8:00
Speaker 1: Power and no water.
8:02
Speaker 4: You need to be able to have that so protect
8:03
Speaker 4: your family protective matters. Most call current dot com will
8:06
Speaker 4: help you out with one of those standby generators.
8:07
Speaker 3: And I would expect there's gonna be hundreds of everyday
8:10
Speaker 3: heroes that we don't even know about, we'll never hear about,
8:12
Speaker 3: that are helping each other out, helping out neighbors, helping
8:14
Speaker 3: out loved ones get through this kind of situation, and
8:18
Speaker 3: we'll never know about them, but we know they're out there.
8:20
Speaker 2: So I'll say thanks to all them.
8:22
Speaker 3: And we might never know the stories, but there's gonna
8:24
Speaker 3: be millions and millions of individual ones, little ones, of
8:28
Speaker 3: neighbors helping neighbors, and people helping each other through these times.
8:32
Speaker 1: Well put thank you, no false huscle there.
8:35
Speaker 2: Not at all, No, not at all.
8:37
Speaker 3: And then and stuff important stuff, stuff that really reminds
8:40
Speaker 3: you what's important.
8:41
Speaker 2: The perspective.
8:42
Speaker 3: These are always the days you see this and you
8:44
Speaker 3: say it's tough because it could have been you, it
8:46
Speaker 3: could have been your neighbor, and weather like that equalizes
8:48
Speaker 3: all of us. I mean, there's no there's no sense
8:51
Speaker 3: of it can't happen to me because I can do
8:53
Speaker 3: this or I have this type of money. I'm poor,
8:56
Speaker 3: I'm rich, it doesn't matter. You know you, you become
8:58
Speaker 3: equalized in that moment on all humans trying to help
9:01
Speaker 3: each other out. So look to serve somebody out there
9:04
Speaker 3: today if you can.
9:05
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna talk to Bill Schroeder in about
9:08
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes or so. Looking forward to catching up with
9:12
Speaker 1: Rock from Brewers TV. Brewers lost last night late three
9:15
Speaker 1: to nothing, only the fifth shutout loss of the year.
9:20
Speaker 1: Didn't pitch that bad, Brandon sprote six innings, navigated through
9:23
Speaker 1: some tough times. They only used two pitchers, which was
9:27
Speaker 1: nice to give the bullpen a little breather.
9:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, and listen whenever Garrett Stallings got called upon when
9:33
Speaker 4: they sent Lance mccullors out on his merry way, that
9:36
Speaker 4: was exactly what they were hoping mccullors was able to
9:37
Speaker 4: do last night.
9:38
Speaker 1: Right, two innings, Get us to the next day.
9:40
Speaker 4: Don't let us make us call anybody else out of
9:43
Speaker 4: the pen. Get us through this mess.
9:44
Speaker 1: So it was revealed not as an excuse, but they
9:47
Speaker 1: did spend five hours on the runway waiting for their flight.
9:51
Speaker 1: Late arrival into San Francisco. Not ideal when you're going
9:53
Speaker 1: to the West coast, although I always found that traveling
9:56
Speaker 1: to the West Coast was better than traveling.
9:58
Speaker 3: East from the West Coast. Yes, I would agree with
10:01
Speaker 3: that one for sure, but it can't help. I mean,
10:03
Speaker 3: I understand it's non excuse, but it can be reason.
10:05
Speaker 3: There's no way that's an advantage.
10:07
Speaker 1: It wasn't. It didn't, it didn't. It didn't help the cause.
10:11
Speaker 1: But they had three singles. So it's one of those
10:12
Speaker 1: games just you know, just turn the page. And this
10:16
Speaker 1: team's been pretty good at turning the pages, very good
10:18
Speaker 1: at it.
10:18
Speaker 6: Now.
10:18
Speaker 4: They've been extremely good in game one of series. They've
10:23
Speaker 4: they've won a ton of the first games of series.
10:26
Speaker 4: So tonight to try to be able to go back
10:27
Speaker 4: and get game two and even it up, it is
10:29
Speaker 4: gonna be good and big. But also just the frustration
10:32
Speaker 4: last night was like any time you got somebody on base,
10:35
Speaker 4: because it wasn't only just the hits. I mean, Maley
10:38
Speaker 4: only walked to and those are the only two free.
10:40
Speaker 1: Passes that you got all night.
10:42
Speaker 4: But when anybody would start out, I think it was
10:45
Speaker 4: twice in the first five innings, you have the leadoff
10:48
Speaker 4: man on. You had it again there sitting in the sixth,
10:51
Speaker 4: and you ground into double plays. They had a lot
10:54
Speaker 4: of double plays and in the sixth was the toughest
10:57
Speaker 4: one because it looks like you're gonna flip the lineup over.
10:59
Speaker 4: You have seen Sprote really settled down over the last
11:03
Speaker 4: couple of innings. Uh in in the fifth and then
11:06
Speaker 4: get you into the six, you think maybe with a
11:08
Speaker 4: low pitch count, he's gonna be able to bite off
11:09
Speaker 4: the six. Pratt walks quickly, ground ball double play two
11:13
Speaker 4: two uh hits pitches later, and then Yelli strikes out
11:16
Speaker 4: on four pitches and you're back into a three nothing deficit.
11:20
Speaker 4: Every time they got close through they just could not
11:22
Speaker 4: get themselves out of their own way, and a large
11:24
Speaker 4: portion was because they.
11:25
Speaker 1: Kept rolling it in.
11:26
Speaker 4: They kept rolling into the into a six, four to
11:29
Speaker 4: three or a four to six three.
11:31
Speaker 6: Uh.
11:31
Speaker 4: You hit into three double plays in the first six
11:33
Speaker 4: Inning's gonna be hard to win any ball game, even
11:35
Speaker 4: if sprot I mean, that was arguably one of his
11:37
Speaker 4: better starts of the entire season last night, and he
11:40
Speaker 4: gets the tough luck.
11:41
Speaker 1: L The biggest anomaly last night to me was of
11:44
Speaker 1: those double plays. Two of them g I DP Garrett Mitchell, Oh.
11:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the hard exact double up left handed
11:52
Speaker 4: bat run he's like an eighty speed like whoa, yeahs.
11:57
Speaker 4: And I mean they were all sharp ground balls too,
11:59
Speaker 4: Like it was there weren't a lot of I mean,
12:02
Speaker 4: it can give some credit to the defense, but it
12:04
Speaker 4: wasn't like anything was ending up on top ten plays.
12:06
Speaker 4: For those double plays that they were rolling up. It
12:08
Speaker 4: was sharp hit right at you tof tough night for him.
12:11
Speaker 4: They had some goofy balls out there.
12:13
Speaker 3: The one the couple of the Bowers obviously, the one
12:15
Speaker 3: he dropped was kind of weird.
12:16
Speaker 2: It's just there was something you.
12:17
Speaker 4: Think, that's the hardest outfield to navigate if you don't
12:20
Speaker 4: play out there much.
12:21
Speaker 2: The sun with the wind that might can be up there.
12:23
Speaker 1: I mean it is cavernous out there in those yeah alleys. Yeah,
12:27
Speaker 1: corners are tough, yeah.
12:29
Speaker 4: With the weird with the weird dimensions, especially in the
12:32
Speaker 4: right center. Uh that's I mean, Jake Bowers isn't a
12:37
Speaker 4: normal right fielder anyway.
12:39
Speaker 1: The one that he dropped in the first inning was
12:41
Speaker 1: about as easy as you would get. However, it didn't
12:44
Speaker 1: hurt him like that was the weird part about it.
12:46
Speaker 6: Too.
12:46
Speaker 4: Drew the moments that you thought would be the backbreakers.
12:50
Speaker 4: It wasn't necessarily the case, but three walks coming back
12:53
Speaker 4: to score that that ends up being the the one
12:55
Speaker 4: that does in especially when a solo or a two
12:58
Speaker 4: run shot caps it off there in the fourth and
13:00
Speaker 4: that's all the scoring you're gonna see.
13:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, back at it this evening, Brewers. And so what
13:05
Speaker 1: time is the first pitch Nightabilly Eat forty five? Come
13:09
Speaker 1: on now?
13:10
Speaker 4: So we start up with seven point thirty on Fox
13:12
Speaker 4: Sports Wisconsin with our friend Hunter Bombguard with the pregame.
13:17
Speaker 1: Show Baseball pregame show Late Night for a Hunter again.
13:21
Speaker 4: Is San Francisco one of those parts, Drew is somebody
13:23
Speaker 4: that's been around to all of them that that people
13:25
Speaker 4: should go and see or is it.
13:27
Speaker 1: Like as in person? I definitely like it. It's cool,
13:29
Speaker 1: and but the thing is like the coolest part. And
13:31
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Rock. I used to just pop into
13:35
Speaker 1: Rock's booth because the view there is just majestic. Oh,
13:39
Speaker 1: it looks unbelievable, and you can see the water beyond
13:42
Speaker 1: McCovey Cove and everything. It's just a sweeping view. It's
13:44
Speaker 1: like one of those things where and like Pittsburgh, you
13:47
Speaker 1: get a good view of the city and everything. But
13:50
Speaker 1: the batter and the umpire and the catcher look like ants.
13:52
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, because you're a mile and a
13:54
Speaker 4: half up in the are in Pittsburgh Washington too, you're
13:57
Speaker 4: like way up high. But it's not as bad as
14:00
Speaker 4: San Francisco. But the view of the water and the
14:02
Speaker 4: whole thing is spectacular. It gets Pittsburgh, now, is it?
14:08
Speaker 4: At and t or Oracle The San Francisco Stadium always
14:11
Speaker 4: amongst the top five best ballparks of baseball, Like every
14:14
Speaker 4: single rating group that comes through, whether it's SI or
14:18
Speaker 4: fan polls, it's always one of those top ones because
14:20
Speaker 4: I think of the views. But like just from as
14:24
Speaker 4: a kid seeing the big old glove behind the bleachers
14:26
Speaker 4: out in left field, just the visuals of it are
14:29
Speaker 4: quirky and hilarious. And one of my favorite players is
14:31
Speaker 4: to be able to see games. I like it a
14:33
Speaker 4: lot better when I see the team win.
14:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's.
14:36
Speaker 4: Got to be a little difficult to be hitting with
14:37
Speaker 4: that gust coming off of that water.
14:39
Speaker 1: The one thing that stands out about Oracle Park to me,
14:41
Speaker 1: it's like you get the smell memories. Hm, okay, like
14:44
Speaker 1: the old Tiger Stadium, the rickety old Tiger Stadium, had
14:47
Speaker 1: an elevator that we used to take from the clubhouse
14:50
Speaker 1: level to the press box, and there was an elevator
14:52
Speaker 1: opera this elderly woman named Sarah who wore a gallon
14:56
Speaker 1: of perfume, and it would stay with you beyond your
14:58
Speaker 1: clothes and you'd smell it all the way. You get
15:00
Speaker 1: to the after going covering a game and going to
15:03
Speaker 1: the bar for a couple of pops, you in the
15:05
Speaker 1: hotel bed smell that perfume and it was like you
15:08
Speaker 1: had to hold your breath. It was like walking by
15:11
Speaker 1: the counter at the department store of times ten. Sarah
15:15
Speaker 1: the elevator operate Boston. Sarah was in Detroit. The smell
15:20
Speaker 1: in San Francisco of the ballpark you better like garlic.
15:25
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Gilroy's Garlic Fries is like a big vendor there,
15:29
Speaker 1: and Garlic's big out of Northern Californian stuff. But they
15:32
Speaker 1: have these fries that they make that are actually pretty tasty,
15:35
Speaker 1: but it permeates. The entire ballpark smells like garlic from
15:38
Speaker 1: the time you walk in. Smell the garlic fries. Nothing
15:41
Speaker 1: like garlic water fries that are tossed in olive oil,
15:45
Speaker 1: massive amounts of garlic and parsley to get them like
15:48
Speaker 1: you know the I guess the sour cream chizeas, but
15:54
Speaker 1: these are garlic, and it's smells of garlic that park.
15:58
Speaker 1: It is very pungent state that place smell.
16:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, they sound delicious, everybody likes.
16:04
Speaker 4: I was gonna say that sounds phenomenal. It sounds like
16:07
Speaker 4: another reason why to go. People would say that they
16:09
Speaker 4: have all the unique you know now, I think a.
16:11
Speaker 3: Lot of ballparks have unique and more advanced food options
16:14
Speaker 3: than just regular ballparks.
16:16
Speaker 1: Funny because the SkyDome would smell like McDonald's, like you
16:18
Speaker 1: were working the friar at McDonald's because they had all
16:20
Speaker 1: these McDonald's concession stands. I don't know if they still
16:24
Speaker 1: do because I'm not sure what they have there. I
16:26
Speaker 1: haven't been there in a long time, but skydone back
16:27
Speaker 1: in the day, a lot of the concession stands were
16:29
Speaker 1: McDonald's stands.
16:31
Speaker 3: So that's funny about McDonald's. I remember was in San Francisco.
16:35
Speaker 3: I remember when they first opened it to call the
16:36
Speaker 3: pack bell and it was a big Are they still
16:39
Speaker 3: rolling up in those kayaks and right field to catch
16:42
Speaker 3: or was that just like.
16:43
Speaker 1: A absolutely out there every night.
16:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably not catching nearly as many, right, probably not
16:49
Speaker 4: catching nearly as many as you used to.
16:51
Speaker 3: That was always like that was always the Kenny Maine.
16:53
Speaker 3: Put Kenny Maine out there.
16:55
Speaker 1: I mean, they do it. The guys launching BP. There
16:57
Speaker 1: are some depending on what the wind is doing.
16:59
Speaker 4: I was going to say, BP seems like a beautiful
17:01
Speaker 4: time to be watching that thing sail into that water.
17:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good time.
17:05
Speaker 2: Pretty cool.
17:06
Speaker 1: It's one that I enjoy watching.
17:08
Speaker 4: I wish they played more day games, but two forty
17:10
Speaker 4: five coming up on Wednesday will help. And then again
17:12
Speaker 4: Brewers get an off day and then I mean we
17:15
Speaker 4: talked about their long stretch through that they had going
17:17
Speaker 4: into the All Star Break. Guys, they'll play seventeen games
17:19
Speaker 4: in seventeen days and wrap that run up in the
17:22
Speaker 4: middle of August with four games at Los Angeles.
17:27
Speaker 1: So they start this run. They start this run on
17:30
Speaker 1: the West Coast.
17:31
Speaker 4: They'll come back for four games against Pittsburgh, three against Minnesota,
17:35
Speaker 4: and right back out to San Diego. In LA, it's
17:37
Speaker 4: not always when who you play, it's when you play them.
17:40
Speaker 4: That's not a very advantageous time to be playing in LA.
17:43
Speaker 4: If you're trying to win the season series. Then help
17:46
Speaker 4: be a ton last year.
17:46
Speaker 1: But La San Diego child a good measuring stick, right,
17:49
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like that's a good battle test.
17:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you'll have all your You'll have all your reinforcements,
17:54
Speaker 4: You'll have everything potentially and hopefully at your disposal.
17:58
Speaker 6: Then.
17:58
Speaker 1: Right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back,
18:00
Speaker 1: we will chat with Bill Schroeder from Brewer's TV. Friend

18:28
Speaker 1: You might have to mo soon. I don't know.

Speaker 1: up in that area, and just hope everybody's all right.
18:54
Speaker 1: What an absolute devastation. Uh Rock three hits last night,
18:59
Speaker 1: a bit of a flat off to performance, and then
19:01
Speaker 1: we find out afterwards, not really an excuse or anything,
19:03
Speaker 1: but they spent five hours on the runway because of
19:07
Speaker 1: some plain difficulty and people who fly commercial maybe experience
19:10
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen very often during the Major league season.
19:14
Speaker 1: What do you think was Dan Loreo wearing it last night?
19:17
Speaker 1: The director of team.
19:17
Speaker 6: Travel were beating Yeah, poor guy. I mean, you know,
19:23
Speaker 6: it's a big matters worse, it's a family trip out
19:25
Speaker 6: to the West Coast, so yeah, so yeah, it's just,
19:31
Speaker 6: you know, I don't know what to say about that.
19:33
Speaker 6: I mean, we've all, you know, experienced that, you know,
19:36
Speaker 6: my plane days, we've had you know, travel delays, but
19:39
Speaker 6: going all the way out to San Francisco and having
19:42
Speaker 6: to sit there that long, it had to be just brutal.
19:45
Speaker 6: But it's one of those things, you know. I mean,
19:49
Speaker 6: West Coast trips are always tough. It always played great
19:53
Speaker 6: seven and two you know, home staying. But you know,
19:56
Speaker 6: sometimes you know, you come out flat and they did yesterday.
20:00
Speaker 1: Everybody will get over it when they have an off
20:02
Speaker 1: day and Anaheimen can go to Disney Plan or the
20:06
Speaker 1: beach or whatever you want to do.
20:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, right, Well, you know, and I played with
20:10
Speaker 6: the Angels for two years. You know a lot of
20:12
Speaker 6: off days. You know. We had a deal because gene
20:16
Speaker 6: Autry at the time owned the club and every time
20:19
Speaker 6: we wanted to go to Disneyland, they gave us passes
20:21
Speaker 6: and we would go there. The kids just they must
20:24
Speaker 6: have gone there ten times in two years there, so
20:27
Speaker 6: that's great. I mean, I love disney Land. I mean
20:30
Speaker 6: he took the grandkids to Disney World a couple of
20:33
Speaker 6: years ago. And yeah, it's fantastic.
20:36
Speaker 4: Good time to be able to get an off day
20:38
Speaker 4: because there's not a whole lot here on the back
20:40
Speaker 4: end of the schedule. Rocket look at just six off
20:42
Speaker 4: days the rest of the way out, but out of those,
20:47
Speaker 4: most of them are in September. Is that anything guys
20:50
Speaker 4: can be looking at right now? Or is it just
20:52
Speaker 4: every single day you're just trying to keep your head
20:55
Speaker 4: on straight and keep chopping wood because you're getting to
20:58
Speaker 4: different checkpoints of the year. Man, Well, you got to
21:00
Speaker 4: run a seventeen games in seventeen days. It's hard for
21:03
Speaker 4: me not to think that creeps into the mind.
21:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I don't think they're looking too far ahead.
21:08
Speaker 6: I mean, you know these guys, I means they've been
21:11
Speaker 6: so good all season long. You know, they had a rough,
21:14
Speaker 6: rough road trip last time, right, I mean you know
21:16
Speaker 6: that whole there are two doubleheaders and that that trip,
21:19
Speaker 6: and you know, off other off days, what was they
21:22
Speaker 6: came in June or May or June, or they had
21:25
Speaker 6: every Thursday off or something at the time when you
21:27
Speaker 6: really don't need them. But uh, you know, every team
21:30
Speaker 6: goes through it, you know, so there's no a whole
21:32
Speaker 6: lot of complaining going on because every team has long
21:35
Speaker 6: stretches of games and every team's all teams have, you know,
21:39
Speaker 6: stretches where you don't have a lot of off days.
21:41
Speaker 6: So that's the magic of the major league schedule, which
21:45
Speaker 6: makes it so difficult for the long haul. One hundred
21:47
Speaker 6: and sixty two games and there are stretches in the
21:50
Speaker 6: season where you feel like, how am I going to
21:52
Speaker 6: get through this? And you know they do. They're young kids,
21:55
Speaker 6: and they can they can get through it.
21:58
Speaker 1: Talking to Bill schrod Er Brewers TV here on the huddle,
22:01
Speaker 1: Drew billion Arman, all right, rock so coming out of
22:03
Speaker 1: the break, Bruce had about as good a homestand as
22:05
Speaker 1: you can have. That was really uh, you know, that
22:09
Speaker 1: gave them some wind in their sails, kept the cubs
22:11
Speaker 1: at bay. And now it's and now you have two
22:14
Speaker 1: West Coast trips in the next two weeks. Basically, what
22:18
Speaker 1: is that? What is that? You mentioned? This one's the
22:20
Speaker 1: family trip, which adds a layer to it. It's not
22:24
Speaker 1: it guys are out of their routine a little.
22:25
Speaker 6: Bit, you know, a little bit, a little bit, but
22:28
Speaker 6: you know they've been able to you know, in past
22:31
Speaker 6: family trips they've been they've done pretty well. So it's
22:34
Speaker 6: not like, you know, everything is lost and you're out
22:37
Speaker 6: on the beach and entertaining the kids all the time.
22:40
Speaker 6: But you know, I mean, you go through it. You know,
22:42
Speaker 6: you have this long you have this West Coast swing.
22:45
Speaker 6: You know, you go to San Francisco and then Anaheim
22:48
Speaker 6: and then they come back and play the Dreaded Pirates.
22:50
Speaker 6: I mean, what's going on with the Pirates there and
22:52
Speaker 6: the Brewers. They've only beat them once. I mean, it's
22:55
Speaker 6: it's one of those things where you know, there was
22:57
Speaker 6: a time when the Pirate just could not beat the
22:59
Speaker 6: Brewers for any for anything. So it's kind of flipped
23:03
Speaker 6: a little bit. And then then the Twins came in
23:05
Speaker 6: and then back out again. You know, Dodgers in San Diego.
23:08
Speaker 6: So schedule's not that easy for the crew going forward.
23:12
Speaker 6: And you know, like I said, Pat Murphy's gonna they're
23:15
Speaker 6: gonna earn their money. You know, it's toughness on the
23:17
Speaker 6: bullpens when you go through stretches like this, and it's
23:20
Speaker 6: gonna be important for you know, the starters to you know,
23:22
Speaker 6: eat up some innings. You know, the Brewers are deep
23:25
Speaker 6: in the minor leagues. You're gonna see some guys coming
23:27
Speaker 6: up and down making some starts and you know, working
23:31
Speaker 6: at bullpen. So yeah, it's it's you know, they're gonna
23:33
Speaker 6: earn They're gonna earn the division title if they're able.
23:36
Speaker 1: To get it done, No doubt, a lot of real
23:38
Speaker 1: estate left. Rock I was telling the boys yesterday about
23:41
Speaker 1: that series with the Rockies. The Rockies, Uh, they win
23:43
Speaker 1: the opener and spoil the alumni game a little bit,
23:47
Speaker 1: which was so fun. We'll get to that momentarily. But
23:49
Speaker 1: then the Rockies like make you bring in McGill and
23:51
Speaker 1: they battle you untill on Saturday night. And then the
23:54
Speaker 1: Brewers kind of rolled it up on them on Sunday.
23:57
Speaker 1: But I was telling the boys and telling fans like,
23:59
Speaker 1: don't take anybody for granted, because you and I were
24:02
Speaker 1: around with the Brewers were bad, and they would go
24:04
Speaker 1: into parks and play contending teams with big crowds and
24:07
Speaker 1: they would get juice from it. I remember around the
24:09
Speaker 1: trade deadline, guys would constantly be asking me in the clubhouse,
24:12
Speaker 1: where am I going to anybody talking about trade for me?
24:14
Speaker 1: They want to play, well it looks it look good
24:17
Speaker 1: for potential trades or for their next job. Like the
24:20
Speaker 1: teams with bad records this time of year are dangerous.
24:23
Speaker 1: So the dangerous lubdate don't look it past anybody on
24:26
Speaker 1: the schedule right now.
24:28
Speaker 6: And you know, you run into a hot pitcher. I
24:30
Speaker 6: mean that that can set parate a win from a
24:32
Speaker 6: loss right away, you know. I mean Kyle Freeland, he
24:35
Speaker 6: threw the baseball pretty well. He had a seven earned
24:37
Speaker 6: run average. I mean he had not had not won
24:40
Speaker 6: a game on the road, all season long. He was
24:42
Speaker 6: zero to nine away from course field, but he pitched
24:45
Speaker 6: pretty well and then the Brewers are able to get
24:47
Speaker 6: to him and then you know, tackle on runs, you know,
24:50
Speaker 6: on that on that Sunday. But you know, a team,
24:54
Speaker 6: but not a whole lot to lose, is a dangerous opponent,
24:58
Speaker 6: you know. I mean, these guys are, like you said,
25:01
Speaker 6: playing for Pride. They're playing for you know, next year,
25:03
Speaker 6: they're playing to you know, Impress, maybe other teams that
25:06
Speaker 6: might be looking at making a deal for them. So
25:09
Speaker 6: you know, no team is easy. And merce said in
25:11
Speaker 6: his postgamer, you know after that game on Friday, no
25:15
Speaker 6: team is a pushover. You just never know. You run
25:18
Speaker 6: into a hot pitcher. You get a couple of guys
25:20
Speaker 6: swinging the bats, and I'll tell you the Rockies, I
25:22
Speaker 6: mean they put together some pretty good at bats. You know,
25:25
Speaker 6: take away what they what Mezzarowski did in that game,
25:30
Speaker 6: that was the most unbelievable thing. And you can only
25:32
Speaker 6: imagine how demorlizing that's got to be, you know for
25:35
Speaker 6: a team. I mean, just to throw one fastball after another?
25:38
Speaker 6: How many how many one hundred and two plus mile
25:40
Speaker 6: an hour fastballs did he throw in that stretch. I mean,
25:43
Speaker 6: it's this kid is unbelievable. He's a unicorn. If he's
25:46
Speaker 6: not the best pitcher that has come along in a long,
25:48
Speaker 6: long time, I'd like to know who it is. I mean,
25:51
Speaker 6: he is just so dominant. And you know the rest
25:54
Speaker 6: of that game, I mean, these these Rocky hitters were
25:57
Speaker 6: licking their wounds. I mean, and that's a that's a
26:00
Speaker 6: tough way to start out a game. But the miss
26:02
Speaker 6: he's been unbelievable.
26:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, Drew hit it on the head.
26:04
Speaker 4: Yesterday, Rocky said, I think miss would have came up
26:07
Speaker 4: to twenty seven Yankees.
26:08
Speaker 1: Was this something he was bringing in the mountain on Sunday?
26:11
Speaker 1: With that kind of heat?
26:14
Speaker 6: Did the twenty seven Yankees ever face anybody throwing one
26:17
Speaker 6: hundred and five miles an hour? I don't know. Bob Feller,
26:19
Speaker 6: they said, was the hardest thrower back in those days.
26:22
Speaker 6: But you know, I don't know. You know how they
26:25
Speaker 6: register speeds, you know, back of Bob Feller's days, they
26:28
Speaker 6: used to register speeds with a motorcycle going, uh getting
26:33
Speaker 6: He's doing ninety miles an hour and then his boll
26:36
Speaker 6: what gets there faster? The motorcycle of the baseball that's
26:39
Speaker 6: how they registered speeds back then.
26:42
Speaker 2: I love that, but against the horses.
26:44
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, that's right.
26:46
Speaker 6: Yeah right. But you know, hey, somebody asked me yesterday,
26:50
Speaker 6: I was at a golf outy at Westmore Country Club
26:53
Speaker 6: that you know, we've got in about six holes and
26:55
Speaker 6: then then the heavens opened up on us. But they said,
26:59
Speaker 6: how tough visit to hit a guy that's throwing that hard?
27:02
Speaker 6: That says, I don't know, I would imagine it's even
27:04
Speaker 6: tough to catch a guy throwing, you know, that hard.
27:07
Speaker 6: But the way, you know, the way the late Misowski
27:10
Speaker 6: is always around the plate. He's not throwing balls against
27:13
Speaker 6: the backstop and spiking fast balls. He's got to be
27:16
Speaker 6: a guy that he's about as easy a guy to
27:18
Speaker 6: catch that throws that hard as there as there is,
27:22
Speaker 6: because most guys that throw that hard they don't know
27:24
Speaker 6: where the ball's going half the time, you know, so uh,
27:27
Speaker 6: and then you got to catch him for like five innings,
27:29
Speaker 6: and you know, it's it's a little bit more difficult
27:31
Speaker 6: in day games for catchers, hitters. I'm pires and all
27:34
Speaker 6: that kind of thing. So yeah, he's something else, and
27:38
Speaker 6: we're just so fortunate that we have to get to
27:40
Speaker 6: watch him every fifth day.
27:41
Speaker 1: You catch a guy like that in the pocket, you
27:43
Speaker 1: got to put a sponge on your palm, Like, how
27:45
Speaker 1: do you are you try to catch it in the well?
27:47
Speaker 1: Like what do you do?
27:48
Speaker 6: Well, Well, you don't have your you don't have your
27:50
Speaker 6: whole hand in the catchers, min. I mean the end
27:52
Speaker 6: of your fingers are basically in the glove and you'll
27:55
Speaker 6: see the palm of your hand maybe hanging out there.
27:57
Speaker 6: And you know, we talked about that on the air
27:59
Speaker 6: every now and again. That's how you get the pop
28:01
Speaker 6: of the glove. You know, if you have your hand
28:03
Speaker 6: all the way and there, I mean, your hand's going
28:05
Speaker 6: to look like a balloon at the end of the day.
28:07
Speaker 6: It doesn't even matter how hard you're throwing. But you know,
28:10
Speaker 6: it's it's incredible. I mean, you know, Sanchez did a
28:17
Speaker 6: great job with him. Contraras has been good. I mean,
28:19
Speaker 6: it's it's it's amazing, you know. And I said during
28:22
Speaker 6: the broadcast yesterday, I think it was a third inning
28:24
Speaker 6: and he struck out the first guy. I said, there's
28:27
Speaker 6: not a whole lot here for me to break down.
28:29
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy, Like the rest
28:31
Speaker 6: of you watching on TV, because what do you say, Oh,
28:35
Speaker 6: another one hundred and three mile an hour fastball that's
28:37
Speaker 6: up in the zone that they swing through. I mean
28:40
Speaker 6: he gets spoiled. I mean he's so good that he
28:42
Speaker 6: gets spoiled. And anytime he gives up ahead, let alone
28:45
Speaker 6: a home run, you're you're amazed. I mean, how does
28:47
Speaker 6: the guy hit that? You know? So it's just one
28:50
Speaker 6: of those things where you you know, for me and Ba,
28:53
Speaker 6: we sit back and we can only get in away,
28:56
Speaker 6: and when we're watching a guy like that and what
28:58
Speaker 6: he does, it's amazing.
29:00
Speaker 1: When the curveball's ninety two, Yeah, it's fight practice for that.
29:05
Speaker 6: Ninety eight mile hour cutter. You know, it's like you've
29:07
Speaker 6: got to be kidding me. I mean it's like nobody
29:11
Speaker 6: sees that anywhere, you know.
29:12
Speaker 1: So I like your unicorn comment there, Rock Now, all right?
29:16
Speaker 6: Rock?
29:16
Speaker 1: So the Bruce lost Friday against the Rockies, and that
29:19
Speaker 1: set the stage for the alumni game, which was an
29:21
Speaker 1: absolute blast, and watching it, I got Fantasy Camp vibes.
29:25
Speaker 1: It reminded me of a Fantasy Camp game in many ways.
29:29
Speaker 1: And I know there were some fans that thought Ben
29:31
Speaker 1: Sheets was gonna be out there and throw his twenty
29:33
Speaker 1: four twelve to six curveball and be trying to you know,
29:36
Speaker 1: maybe buzzing the tower on guys if they leaned in
29:38
Speaker 1: a little bit. But it was a lot of fun
29:41
Speaker 1: regardless of what happened. What was it like for you
29:44
Speaker 1: to watch that?
29:46
Speaker 6: Oh? It was great just seeing those guys out there,
29:48
Speaker 6: you know, And you're right, I mean I see a
29:49
Speaker 6: lot of those guys at Fantasy Camp, a lot of
29:51
Speaker 6: those coaches, and you know, I was campaigning for you know,
29:54
Speaker 6: down there and talking to him about maybe coming to
29:57
Speaker 6: Fantasy Camp someday. And but you know, she she did
30:00
Speaker 6: throw one. It looked like one of those lobs that
30:03
Speaker 6: it wasn't that threw that. Yeah, he didn't have quite
30:08
Speaker 6: their rotation on it, the spin rate on that curveball
30:11
Speaker 6: that he did back in the day. But it was
30:13
Speaker 6: fun to watch. And Randy Wolf, how about that? I mean,
30:17
Speaker 6: I mean that that really was amazing. And then they
30:19
Speaker 6: do the bomb and you know, right at home plate.
30:22
Speaker 6: I mean, it just he just can't he can't write
30:25
Speaker 6: it up like that. I mean, it'd be it'd be
30:27
Speaker 6: a cheap movie to think that that would happen, right,
30:30
Speaker 6: I mean, predictable but he did it. He hit he
30:33
Speaker 6: hit it hard. Doug Davis gave up the homer, But
30:36
Speaker 6: we had a great time. You know, BA did a
30:38
Speaker 6: great job, you know, doing that, doing the game, and
30:41
Speaker 6: that was being piped through the stadium, which is a
30:43
Speaker 6: little bit more of a challenge for you know, he
30:46
Speaker 6: and I, so I kind of backed off a little bit.
30:48
Speaker 6: But BA did a great job with that, and you know,
30:51
Speaker 6: the crew brought it to the folks on TV. It
30:54
Speaker 6: was just a great, great combination of efforts by a
30:57
Speaker 6: lot of people us watching on Brewers TV.
30:59
Speaker 4: When I picked up been realized that BA was being
31:02
Speaker 4: piped through and you guys are being piped through the stadium,
31:04
Speaker 4: was when I saw guys laughing at the jokes, your
31:09
Speaker 4: pieces and everybody.
31:10
Speaker 1: No, it was just that's out.
31:11
Speaker 4: It's cool to be able to celebrate that rock because
31:14
Speaker 4: there's so many guys. You know, a lot of people
31:16
Speaker 4: might omit Brad Boksburger when you're writing through that, But
31:20
Speaker 4: my man pitched a ton and had some of his
31:22
Speaker 4: best years in his big league career in Milwaukee. How
31:25
Speaker 4: cool is that to be able to celebrate those guys
31:26
Speaker 4: where their best moments in the bigs were in Milwaukee,
31:30
Speaker 4: and they were able to bring in a lot of
31:31
Speaker 4: them their young families there who may not have gotten
31:34
Speaker 4: to see how cool dad used to be.
31:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, and you know all these guys,
31:38
Speaker 6: I mean everyone to a person, every time they're asked
31:42
Speaker 6: to come back to Milwaukee for an event like that,
31:44
Speaker 6: or even just to come and sign some autograph, they
31:47
Speaker 6: can't wait. They jump on a plane and I can't wait.
31:50
Speaker 6: When you talk to former players that have been through Milwaukee,
31:53
Speaker 6: whether it be maybe for a couple of months or
31:55
Speaker 6: maybe you know, for ten years, I mean, they always
31:57
Speaker 6: say that Milwaukee was the best shot they ever had.
32:00
Speaker 6: And I think that starts up at up top, you know.
32:02
Speaker 6: And you know the management thing. You know, Dan Lay,
32:05
Speaker 6: you know, welcomes the kids, and you know they got
32:08
Speaker 6: the family room down there, and it's a family organization.
32:11
Speaker 6: It always has been. You know, it started out with
32:13
Speaker 6: the ceilings and then once Mark Ananasio and Debbie took
32:17
Speaker 6: over the organization, they continued all that. I mean, the
32:20
Speaker 6: kids are welcoming, the clubhouts. You see them maybe now
32:23
Speaker 6: and again on the field before batting practice starts, and
32:26
Speaker 6: you know, these guys are away from their families, quite
32:28
Speaker 6: a long time, you know, during the summer, whether even
32:30
Speaker 6: when they're home, they're at the ballpark at one o'clock
32:33
Speaker 6: getting their work in. So they try to get the
32:36
Speaker 6: families involved. But yeah, all these guys when they get together,
32:40
Speaker 6: it's amazing when you see them, you know. And I
32:42
Speaker 6: can tell you the same thing with the Fantasy Camp coaches.
32:45
Speaker 6: You might not see a guy for a whole year,
32:47
Speaker 6: but there's no warming up. I mean, just you pick
32:49
Speaker 6: up right where you left off when you were playing
32:51
Speaker 6: against these guys and when you were watching these guys
32:54
Speaker 6: doing their games on TV. It's it's one of those
32:56
Speaker 6: fraternities that you know, it just it's just great. It's
33:00
Speaker 6: great to be a part of.
33:02
Speaker 1: You guys had Sheets and brown in the booth. Both
33:06
Speaker 1: those guys are just hilarious in their own ways. Ryan
33:09
Speaker 1: is just so polished, but Benny will say anything and
33:11
Speaker 1: he just he's honest.
33:16
Speaker 6: He's honest to a fault sometimes. But he just loved it.
33:19
Speaker 6: He just love how great that he just he just
33:22
Speaker 6: says it like it is and he's always been that way.
33:24
Speaker 6: And you know, great to have him up in the booth.
33:28
Speaker 6: And you know, Brownie's brawny. You know, I mean he's
33:31
Speaker 6: kind of like his answers on a lot of these
33:33
Speaker 6: interviews are like out of uh, you know, interview one
33:36
Speaker 6: oh one books. You know, it's like he doesn't really
33:38
Speaker 6: get in there to it. He doesn't get in there
33:40
Speaker 6: too deep. He's kind of like Yelly in that respect.
33:42
Speaker 6: You know, you're not going to get a whole lot
33:44
Speaker 6: of inside information out of either one of those guys.
33:47
Speaker 6: But you know, you know they're they're awesome, and you know,
33:50
Speaker 6: it was great to watch those guys interact down on
33:53
Speaker 6: the field and in the clubhouse.
33:55
Speaker 1: I love seeing Brooks Keishnik come back. That's my favorite part.
33:59
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my favorite.
34:01
Speaker 6: Yeah.
34:01
Speaker 3: And a huge trophy. Randy Wolf got how do you
34:03
Speaker 3: stuff that in the overhead?
34:05
Speaker 6: Bigger than him? He got to be constructed and bring
34:08
Speaker 6: it in pieces, you know, back there. But there was
34:10
Speaker 6: great sceneing the Pineapple, you know, Manny Penia coming back,
34:14
Speaker 6: and you know, and Jeff by Yankee. You know, it's
34:16
Speaker 6: not that every day. You know, the big names that
34:19
Speaker 6: they brought back. They brought a cross section of brewers
34:22
Speaker 6: that was fantastic.
34:24
Speaker 1: I was joking. I saw Jeff Houston, the Rockies broadcast team.
34:28
Speaker 1: I saw him in the press dining room. I'm like, hey, hey,
34:30
Speaker 1: they might need you for a couple of innings. You know,
34:32
Speaker 1: can you go lace him up? He just laughed. He said,
34:34
Speaker 1: not a chance, no chance.
34:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, they pressure you rock to suit up.
34:39
Speaker 1: I know, lobby No.
34:41
Speaker 6: I mean, well, you know, they said, how come you're
34:43
Speaker 6: not down there playing? First of all, I'm pushing seventy,
34:46
Speaker 6: And second of all, I never I never played at
34:48
Speaker 6: that Miller Park slash American Family Field. Those were the
34:52
Speaker 6: guys that were there, you know. So that was my excuse.
34:55
Speaker 6: So I didn't I didn't have to come up with
34:57
Speaker 6: some lame excuse why I didn't go down there. Everybody's
35:00
Speaker 6: under whiting and go down there and catch Getting down
35:02
Speaker 6: in the crouch that would not be an issue, But
35:04
Speaker 6: getting up from it that would be.
35:06
Speaker 1: That would be the problem. Well, most important part of
35:09
Speaker 1: the crouch is getting up. If those of the.
35:11
Speaker 4: Fantasy Camp vibes, I'm glad that I asked my parents
35:15
Speaker 4: from ages like eight to fourteen every single year for
35:19
Speaker 4: Christmas to go to Fantasy Camp, until my mom finally
35:21
Speaker 4: sat me down and said, Billy, that's for older guys.
35:23
Speaker 1: You can't go. They don't want a thirteen year old
35:26
Speaker 1: running around, But I'm getting close, Rock.
35:28
Speaker 4: Soon enough, I'm going to be of age, and then
35:30
Speaker 4: I'm going to be joining because if that's the if
