- 1:28Speaker 3: it's a heck of a time, man, and they're playing
- 1:31Speaker 3: exceptionally well. I know you guys are buzzing, and uh,
- 1:34Speaker 3: quickly before we talk some World Cup, congratulations on an
- 1:37Speaker 3: incredible merger. We love the Potawatami Sports Book, We love
- 1:41Speaker 3: talking about the Green Bay Packers, and now you guys
- 1:42Speaker 3: are the official sports book of the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:45Speaker 3: How cool is that to be the first of its
- 1:48Speaker 3: kind of landmark with with the iconic sports brand in
- 1:50Speaker 3: the state.
- 1:51Speaker 4: No, it's it's unbelievable, right from from one you know,
- 1:54Speaker 4: official partner to another, like you guys know what you
- 1:56Speaker 4: guys know what this, what this comes with? You know
- 1:58Speaker 4: how this how long this takes, you know, process of
- 2:00Speaker 4: it all right? And I think to have that official
- 2:04Speaker 4: tag of official sports book of the Green Bay Packers
- 2:07Speaker 4: and you know, first ever sports with the Green Bay Packers,
- 2:09Speaker 4: that's a historic franchise that anytime you can put first ever,
- 2:13Speaker 4: you know, next to next to something, it's really great.
- 2:15Speaker 4: So so the team over at the Packers, everyone over
- 2:17Speaker 4: there has been so great to work with. We're so
- 2:19Speaker 4: excited to you know, have the Patawami Sports with Gate
- 2:22Speaker 4: starting next year, you know, the Patawami Sports with Champions Club.
- 2:25Speaker 4: There's so many great things that are coming with this partnership,
- 2:27Speaker 4: and we're beyond excited, uh to just kind of team
- 2:30Speaker 4: up with really all of our opinions, probably the best
- 2:32Speaker 4: football team in the world.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I know.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Football season is high season for sports books, especially pot
- 2:38Speaker 2: of autumn. You've got games on set, You've got games
- 2:40Speaker 2: every night. Now true, yeah, there's only two days. Maybe
- 2:43Speaker 2: fell maybe intrudes, but I'm wondering, Luis said. There's obviously
- 2:46Speaker 2: plenty going on and these late night burger games probably
- 2:49Speaker 2: aren't bad for business, keeping people around watching to see
- 2:52Speaker 2: if their investments come through.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Right, not at all. You know, our our kitchen in
- 2:56Speaker 4: the sports with their it's open late anyway, it's open
- 2:57Speaker 4: till midnight, so people are slowly. We'll get those those
- 3:00Speaker 4: Mama's pancakes that cover us when they say this, but no,
- 3:04Speaker 4: it's it's it's really, it's really great. People are there,
- 3:06Speaker 4: they're they're wanting to cast your tickets where they go home.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Maybe some of them had to come back on Tuesday
- 3:11Speaker 4: after that Monday night marathon. But you know, people, people
- 3:14Speaker 4: are absolutely loving the buzz that the Brewers have and
- 3:17Speaker 4: you know, everything that we're doing with them along with
- 3:18Speaker 4: those you know shuttles to the game every day, they're
- 3:20Speaker 4: they're absolutely loving it.
- 3:22Speaker 3: It's the only shuttle in the state. There's a lot
- 3:23Speaker 3: that come in the city. The only one in the
- 3:25Speaker 3: city that you could potentially get paid to take to
- 3:28Speaker 3: and from American Family Field Point is that Potwad sports Book.
- 3:31Speaker 1: It's the only one that can actually pay you to go.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Luis, It's gonna pay to go and watch some World
- 3:36Speaker 3: Cup action at the sports book because already started up.
- 3:39Speaker 3: You guys have your sweet scarf giveaway right now, commemorative

- 3:55Speaker 3: the in the States. How cool is it to be
- 3:58Speaker 3: able to have this during normal youing hours, because we
- 4:00Speaker 3: were joking that most of the time you almost had
- 4:04Speaker 3: to do an NCAA tournament version if you were going
- 4:06Speaker 3: to have a day at the sports book to watch
- 4:07Speaker 3: soccer instead, you might just have to take, you know,
- 4:10Speaker 3: one hour off and skip out on the last third
- 4:14Speaker 3: three o'clock hour of your shift to be able to
- 4:16Speaker 3: go and enjoy.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Right tomorrow, you know, with with the game taken off
- 4:20Speaker 4: at two pm, it's it's almost like a Brewer opening day, right,
- 4:22Speaker 4: you kind of just have to cut you take a
- 4:23Speaker 4: half day at nude, get down to the sports book.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Get there early though, because the first hundred people to
- 4:28Speaker 4: come in for Mexico South after tomorrow we're gonna give
- 4:30Speaker 4: you a free buccanita. So the first hundred people are
- 4:32Speaker 4: getting a free buccanita cocktail which is bukneda whiskey and
- 4:36Speaker 4: some pineapple juice. Arman, I think that's right up your alley.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But apple juice, let's go.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So we're gonna be doing that right away. Again,
- 4:44Speaker 4: no reservations, you guys don't normally we're big on reservations,
- 4:48Speaker 4: but we're just kind of saying, you know what, it's
- 4:50Speaker 4: the first it's the first time we're hosting, you know,
- 4:52Speaker 4: World Cup games for no reservations. First come, first serve.
- 4:56Speaker 4: We're going to give you guys free cocktails and really
- 4:58Speaker 4: just come and enjoy this awesome tournament that only comes
- 5:02Speaker 4: around every four years, but every four years is could
- 5:05Speaker 4: be in a brutal time zone for US, and we're
- 5:07Speaker 4: waking up at four or five, six, seven am in
- 5:09Speaker 4: the morning right to watch these games, and then it
- 5:11Speaker 4: kind of just ruins the day. So these are great
- 5:13Speaker 4: start times. Mexico tomorrow at two pm and the US
- 5:16Speaker 4: on Friday night. I'm like, in primetime, come on down
- 5:19Speaker 4: because we're gonna have one screen on USA, one screen
- 5:22Speaker 4: on the Brewer game. It's gonna be an awesome environment
- 5:24Speaker 4: in the sportsbook for the next month and a half.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Can't wait for that.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Energy, and you know it's gonna be I mean, whoever's
- 5:29Speaker 5: running the audio back there is gonna be busy switching
- 5:31Speaker 5: that audio back and forth, always doing their thing. But
- 5:34Speaker 5: I love that free drink. You know, it's all me.
- 5:36Speaker 5: And aren't you excited, Louise for the energy? I mean,
- 5:38Speaker 5: soccer fans bring a different type of energy, especially when
- 5:40Speaker 5: it's in the sports book. I expect there to be
- 5:43Speaker 5: really some excitement and energy in that sports book for
- 5:46Speaker 5: these soccer games.
- 5:47Speaker 4: Yeah, you know tomorrow. One thing that we're doing that's
- 5:49Speaker 4: that's just kind of different is you know, we're telling people, hey,
- 5:52Speaker 4: for the Mexico game, we're throwing on the Spanish language
- 5:54Speaker 4: broadcast in there. You know, normally everything's the English language broadcast.
- 5:57Speaker 4: You know, we know our audience.
- 5:58Speaker 3: But wherever now we're talking, come on, dueling is gonna
- 6:02Speaker 3: help you out?
- 6:02Speaker 1: Hero baby? Come on?
- 6:06Speaker 4: Yeah, we're doing that Spanish language broadcast tomorrow. But then
- 6:09Speaker 4: people forget you know, it's it's called the World Cup,
- 6:12Speaker 4: right world? How many different cultures do we have in
- 6:15Speaker 4: this state level? You know where for Columbia, Argentina, Tortue, England.
- 6:20Speaker 4: You know, all these big big names and all the storylines, Right,
- 6:22Speaker 4: we're in all those last World Cup. Maybe we're all messy.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Is he gonna run it back? There's so many great
- 6:27Speaker 4: things England. Can they finally get that monkey off their back?
- 6:29Speaker 4: There's so many awesome things going on, and it's not
- 6:32Speaker 4: at the US, Like how far is the US gonna go?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 6:35Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, there's a lot of storylines in this tournament.
- 6:37Speaker 5: And if you love soccer, if you're just a casual,
- 6:40Speaker 5: you're gonna be able to follow all them. And you're right,
- 6:42Speaker 5: all the cultures in this city, in this in this region,
- 6:45Speaker 5: we're gonna be celebrating all of them with the help
- 6:47Speaker 5: of you guys. I think that's a fantastic thing to do.
- 6:49Speaker 5: Luise the Gathering Place, indeed, and we have.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Some great bets too. You can place futures on a
- 6:53Speaker 4: lot of things, top goal scorer, you know, first and
- 6:56Speaker 4: second place, Golden Ball, top of Cist gold you know,
- 7:00Speaker 4: Golden Glove, FIFA Young Player, and then you can bet
- 7:03Speaker 4: on winners of the groups. Right, you can bet on
- 7:05Speaker 4: on regular time scores, Mexico's you know minus two fifty
- 7:09Speaker 4: favorite tomorrow night, so you know, just kind of come
- 7:12Speaker 4: on down, get the best. It's we have so many
- 7:15Speaker 4: soccer fans that love to place bets on these games,
- 7:18Speaker 4: so you know, come on down place to bets and
- 7:20Speaker 4: we have that two thousand foot screen for you to
- 7:21Speaker 4: watch these games.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not gonna watch it on a better screen
- 7:24Speaker 3: and have more comfort sitting in the first couple of
- 7:27Speaker 3: rows as well, in those comfy chairs. One of my
- 7:29Speaker 3: favorite things to do, Luis, I just parlay a bunch
- 7:31Speaker 3: of ties because that I don't necessarily have an allegiance
- 7:35Speaker 3: to either one. But then once one team scores, I
- 7:38Speaker 3: immediately am a fan of the other. Right, I'm immediately
- 7:41Speaker 3: try to get this thing to the equalizer, which might
- 7:43Speaker 3: be the more exciting, the most exciting play in the sport.
- 7:46Speaker 3: You guys got a lot of cool specials rolling around
- 7:49Speaker 3: as well, I know throughout, but you catch my eye
- 7:52Speaker 3: more when you got costam Egos, martiniz or Margarita is
- 7:55Speaker 3: sitting there as well. And how are we gonna break
- 7:58Speaker 3: down on June nineteenth, Cosamigo's Team Classic or Team Spicy,
- 8:03Speaker 3: Because I just Louise that feel that feels like a runaway,
- 8:06Speaker 3: that feels like us against Paraguay. A Team Spicy is
- 8:09Speaker 3: gonna dominate that one over Team Classic, isn't it.
- 8:12Speaker 4: And yeh, come on down. We're gonna be doing margarita
- 8:14Speaker 4: sampling and sweat giveaways, So come on down and tell
- 8:17Speaker 4: one's your favorite. I'm like, you know, Team Spicy early lead,
- 8:20Speaker 4: but it's wrong to go to go. You know, you
- 8:22Speaker 4: can't bet against that Classic, right, you can't bet against
- 8:25Speaker 4: the Classic, like it's been there for a long time.
- 8:27Speaker 4: So I'm I'm a fan of Team Classic. But come
- 8:30Speaker 4: on down in the nineteen because we're gonna be doing
- 8:32Speaker 4: some great activations.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You know, all world, come along, Louis.
- 8:35Speaker 2: I I gotta say, like the spillover, and I know
- 8:37Speaker 2: a lot of people are soccer skeptics.
- 8:40Speaker 1: It is a beautiful game.
- 8:41Speaker 2: I my first job in the business with covering soccer,
- 8:44Speaker 2: and I am like everybody's kid plays it, but you
- 8:46Speaker 2: get an appreciation for it, especially when it's played at
- 8:49Speaker 2: a high level. Watching high level soccer in the World Cup,
- 8:52Speaker 2: the intensity it is intoxicating. And if you go and
- 8:55Speaker 2: there happens to be like a Stanley Cup game going
- 8:57Speaker 2: on same time or a Brewers game, you're gonna be
- 8:59Speaker 2: dr on to what's happening on the pitch. And I
- 9:01Speaker 2: think people and watching it in a group atmosphere, especially
- 9:04Speaker 2: when people have investments either way props on players or
- 9:07Speaker 2: props on high scores or first goal and stuff like that.
- 9:10Speaker 2: It's gonna it's hard to tell people. They almost have
- 9:13Speaker 2: to experience it. It's hard for me to tell people
- 9:15Speaker 2: what it's gonna be like to watch the World Cup
- 9:17Speaker 2: in a group setting, and especially at a place like
- 9:19Speaker 2: the sportsbook at Patawatami.
- 9:21Speaker 4: Well you see it too, you know when you see
- 9:23Speaker 4: these clips of like the guy's mind up for the
- 9:25Speaker 4: ant right, and the players are crying as their national
- 9:28Speaker 4: anthem is playing, like it means so much to them
- 9:30Speaker 4: because they know, you know, take take it Messy right,
- 9:34Speaker 4: best best guy to ever do it, But he didn't
- 9:36Speaker 4: have that World Cup and now he finally gets that
- 9:38Speaker 4: World Cup last time around. That's all the validation he needed.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Like Messi is the undisputed goat now, right. So for
- 9:44Speaker 4: some of these guys that you know, if Harry Kane
- 9:47Speaker 4: brings them home to England, you think he's ever having
- 9:49Speaker 4: to pay for fish and chips or a pint ever
- 9:50Speaker 4: again shot you know what if it's what if it's
- 9:54Speaker 4: Ronaldo Messi in like a semi final around the sixteen,
- 9:57Speaker 4: like that might break like any Super Bowl ranging ever,
- 10:00Speaker 4: like the storylines are unreal. And then again it's you know,
- 10:04Speaker 4: the US playing on home soil on America's two fifty.
- 10:07Speaker 4: It's like, come on.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Now, well that's why Louise, you're you're coming out with
- 10:11Speaker 3: a lot of these real cute for Harry Kane, Let's
- 10:14Speaker 3: ask him what happened to und fifty years ago? England's
- 10:16Speaker 3: not catching any w's in America is yeah, I got
- 10:19Speaker 3: I'm gonna kick that one right down the curve for England. However,
- 10:23Speaker 3: are we already seeing the groundswell of USA plays because uh,
- 10:28Speaker 3: hand raised in air, Louise, I'm not super confident, but
- 10:31Speaker 3: I will go red, white and blue to the nth
- 10:34Speaker 3: degree coming up for the next month. I got my
- 10:36Speaker 3: vouzela and everything ready to roll. How many folks are
- 10:39Speaker 3: already lining up and investing in on the US?
- 10:41Speaker 4: Does it feel like, yeah, the US and the US
- 10:44Speaker 4: is looking good. I'm like, I think a lot of
- 10:45Speaker 4: people are kind of with you though, believe they it's
- 10:47Speaker 4: one of those you know, I'll show you what have
- 10:49Speaker 4: you done lately? And you know, historically World Cup they
- 10:53Speaker 4: just they get past group stage and then that's it. Right,
- 10:55Speaker 4: So what are Christian Blissich and Sergino and Wes are
- 11:00Speaker 4: guys gonna do this year? I don't know. I think
- 11:02Speaker 4: the weight of country is on their shoulders and they
- 11:06Speaker 4: have to show up. It can't just be get out
- 11:08Speaker 4: of the group stage and then lose to Morocco. You know,
- 11:12Speaker 4: no disrespect to Morocco. I'm not trying to still straight
- 11:14Speaker 4: at them, but let's you have to. You have to,
- 11:17Speaker 4: you have to do something. You have to really show
- 11:19Speaker 4: this country why they've invested in and why some of
- 11:21Speaker 4: these guys are playing at the highest, you know level
- 11:23Speaker 4: out in Europe too. They put up a shout up time, guys,
- 11:26Speaker 4: there's going to be a long, long summer.
- 11:28Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, Luis, and we've been waiting a long
- 11:30Speaker 5: time for them to kind of have that breakthrough moment
- 11:32Speaker 5: and please anything to avoid us getting another Alexei Lallis
- 11:36Speaker 5: rant On TV. I mean it seems like every time
- 11:38Speaker 5: the US plays, it's underwhelminging Alexe is always pissed off.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Landon Donovan's take it over now, I think, I mean
- 11:44Speaker 1: I get it.
- 11:45Speaker 5: Maybe maybe these guys need it with their engagement and
- 11:47Speaker 5: with with with for content, but anything to avoid Alexei
- 11:50Speaker 5: getting mad on television and telling these guys to bow
- 11:54Speaker 5: up and all these.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Things like that.
- 11:55Speaker 4: So I do anything just to avoid Alexei Lais period.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Listen, great listen. I loved him in ninety four. I
- 12:02Speaker 1: was ten years old. He had the long hair.
- 12:04Speaker 5: We were it was new and exciting, the US was hosting.
- 12:06Speaker 5: But man, it seems like he's always mad on TV.
- 12:08Speaker 5: But hey, there's almos gonna be mad when they're the
- 12:10Speaker 5: pot of watamy sports. And I also like, by the way,
- 12:12Speaker 5: when you check it on the website or you go
- 12:14Speaker 5: to the kiosk, this is also educational because when you
- 12:17Speaker 5: bet on, the teams get a little flag next to them, So.
- 12:19Speaker 1: There you go. That is a nice job. You've learn
- 12:21Speaker 1: about the flags. That's good stuff. One with flags on
- 12:25Speaker 1: the flags.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Sorry, arm sorry, it matters right in classic Luis, I
- 12:29Speaker 2: mean there is a friendly tonight, Tico's taking on England.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Can what's is there action on friendlies? Can we bet
- 12:35Speaker 2: on on that game tonight in Orland?
- 12:38Speaker 4: Absolutely? You can bet on the fighting, the fighting Sophia
- 12:41Speaker 4: minutes against England and Louise meet Sophia both coast arecan
- 12:45Speaker 4: more we're very disappointed that we're having to watch a
- 12:48Speaker 4: world come from home New Year exactly. Yeah, you can
- 12:50Speaker 4: play any Here's here's a fun fact about the sportsbook.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Any piefa sanctioned soccer league, you can play the bat
- 12:56Speaker 4: So it doesn't matter where the game is being played.
- 13:00Speaker 4: If it's officially sanctioned by FIFA, you can you can
- 13:02Speaker 4: get action on it. So that's really any soccer league
- 13:05Speaker 4: in the world as long.
- 13:06Speaker 2: As the Yeah, so there's some afternoon action. And the
- 13:10Speaker 2: question is can can the Ticos get on the board
- 13:13Speaker 2: against inga that haven't been hasn't been going. Well, they
- 13:15Speaker 2: switch managers, they got you know, they're they're a team
- 13:17Speaker 2: in fluxing around that they're traditional powerhouse.
- 13:20Speaker 1: It was kind of shocking when they didn't make that. Yeah,
- 13:22Speaker 1: it's it's but but.
- 13:23Speaker 4: That that plus that plus nineteen hundred next and my
- 13:26Speaker 4: beautiful flag is is a little disappointing. But hey, you
- 13:29Speaker 4: know what the craziest things that.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Happened, Well that means it's a big payoff when you
- 13:32Speaker 1: win it. So come on, now, big pay.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Well when you guys, when you guys, when you guys.
- 13:35Speaker 3: All win it, well, it's fair and when and when
- 13:38Speaker 3: Arman goes and drops that one down. I know you
- 13:39Speaker 3: guys are shaking in the boots when Army steps up
- 13:41Speaker 3: to the kiosk, always with those million dollar wagers. Luis,
- 13:44Speaker 3: what about the you mentioned it kicking it off with
- 13:46Speaker 3: the Brewers. They're back in town this week. Uh, there
- 13:48Speaker 3: have been some big value and I imagine a lot
- 13:50Speaker 3: of division bets on the Brewers to win it. Probably
- 13:52Speaker 3: not anymore that they're minus three thirty at the Pottawatami
- 13:55Speaker 3: Sports Book to win this division, you might not have
- 13:58Speaker 3: any more franchise fifteen to one wager still sweat out
- 14:01Speaker 3: here coming down the stretch.
- 14:03Speaker 4: You know, the guy think it's ver right last year.
- 14:05Speaker 4: But you know you can still get them at plus
- 14:07Speaker 4: thirteen hundred to win the World Series, right. I know
- 14:09Speaker 4: a lot of people are a are big on them
- 14:11Speaker 4: winning the World Series right now, and to win the
- 14:13Speaker 4: Pennant plus eight hundred, maybe get it before a certain
- 14:16Speaker 4: left handed pitcher can be traded here. But you know
- 14:20Speaker 4: it's the value. The value is still there if you
- 14:23Speaker 4: believe in them to win the Pennant, which I think
- 14:25Speaker 4: a lot of people do. So. I think if Bruce
- 14:27Speaker 4: doing some trades here that plus eight hundred can go
- 14:29Speaker 4: down a little bit.
- 14:30Speaker 1: That's gonna be epic. It's it's that would be awesome.
- 14:33Speaker 1: This is gonna be a lot of fun.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I highly encourage you way to dive into the World
- 14:36Speaker 2: Cup and it's an event that you can have fun
- 14:39Speaker 2: watching a team with two countries that you don't couldn't
- 14:41Speaker 2: find on a map, and then you get hooked in it,
- 14:43Speaker 2: and then you start it starts rolling and the teram
- 14:45Speaker 2: it only gets better as it goes on, and the
- 14:47Speaker 2: games get more high leverage.
- 14:48Speaker 3: That's right, you just said it, Drue. The games get
- 14:50Speaker 3: better the game they're more high leverage, and the intensity
- 14:53Speaker 3: in those arenas in those stadiums is unmatched.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Gonna be fun, it's gonna be cool to see.
- 14:57Speaker 3: And tomorrow Football Fiesta luis starting up at two pm.

- 15:55Speaker 3: Ten He look over and he would just send people over.
- 15:58Speaker 3: They got Oscar Robinson bobbleheads over there, because wait, did
- 16:01Speaker 3: you guys know Bob Labber he played for the Bucks.
- 16:04Speaker 3: We would try to change up the names of all
- 16:06Speaker 3: of these greats, just how many people would catch us correct.
- 16:10Speaker 5: I want to make sure you didn't really think it
- 16:12Speaker 5: was Robinson. I didn't think so, but I.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Didn't get it. Glenn Robertson Bobble had The Big Cat
- 16:19Speaker 3: was awesome. The Big Cat dude, we had so and
- 16:22Speaker 3: the one I actually did feel bad a couple of
- 16:24Speaker 3: times where Louis would have to like shield himself walk
- 16:27Speaker 3: over into the corner because they were laughing so hard. Wait,
- 16:29Speaker 3: so this Carum when did he play? Yeah, his name
- 16:32Speaker 3: actually used to be Louise. Oh check this guy out.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Sounds like a great player.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Oh boy, Louis Altonator back when he played at USC.

- 17:10Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Wisconsin nine, twenty Milwaukee ten seventy Madison. Time
- 17:13Speaker 2: for little Who's Hot, Who's Not? Brought to us by
- 17:15Speaker 2: Donovan Jorgenson, heating and cooling employee owned for forty years.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Check him out. Donovan Jorgenson dot com. How about this
- 17:22Speaker 1: one for a who's hot?
- 17:24Speaker 3: Last night, Drew Brandon Montgomery just became one of five
- 17:28Speaker 3: A High five list of guys that had hit a
- 17:31Speaker 3: walkoff home run in their major league debut. Happened last
- 17:36Speaker 3: night for the Chicago White Sox. They're trailing the Atlanta
- 17:39Speaker 3: Braves five to four, and Montgomery with a heck of
- 17:42Speaker 3: a journey. My man was selected twelfth overall in twenty
- 17:44Speaker 3: twenty four. He was a part of the Garrett Crochet
- 17:47Speaker 3: trade from the Red Sox to the White Sox before
- 17:49Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five season. He was one of the
- 17:51Speaker 3: key pieces there, and within two years being drafted, he's
- 17:54Speaker 3: in the majors and singles. In his second plate appearance,
- 17:58Speaker 3: it was his first hit and hit extra innings, a
- 18:01Speaker 3: two run walk off blast. And now that's also beating
- 18:06Speaker 3: the team with the best record in all of baseball,
- 18:08Speaker 3: and the White Sox not cheeks.
- 18:11Speaker 1: How about the White Sox?
- 18:12Speaker 5: Huh?
- 18:12Speaker 1: How about the Southsiders? Not that bad?
- 18:15Speaker 3: Don't look now now, but if you start checking out
- 18:18Speaker 3: those major League Baseball standings on that beautiful page here
- 18:21Speaker 3: on June tenth, thirty five and thirty one are the
- 18:24Speaker 3: White Sox and thirty four and thirty three are the
- 18:28Speaker 3: Chicago Cup.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Yeah, the laughing SoC of baseball for a couple of years.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Obviously the historically worst team baseball has ever seen a
- 18:36Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and all of.
- 18:37Speaker 5: A sudden they're just a half came back in the
- 18:39Speaker 5: American League. Comedy Central there from the Guardians. I'm gonna
- 18:43Speaker 5: steal one from billiar there. I like that Comedy Central.
- 18:45Speaker 5: The American League Central hasn't been great, But the White
- 18:48Speaker 5: Sox are in the mix right now. Yes, it's a
- 18:51Speaker 5: little early, but I mean we're getting close to flag Day,
- 18:54Speaker 5: so you know, it's only four days away. We can
- 18:56Speaker 5: look at the standings and yeah, how about the White
- 18:59Speaker 5: Sox winning six out of their last ten. The Guardians
- 19:02Speaker 5: lost seven out of their last ten. So they're right
- 19:05Speaker 5: in the mix and they're making things interesting in Chicago.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Well, now also in the hot category, sadly against our
- 19:10Speaker 3: beloved Brewers.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Nick Kurtz. I don't know.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Brewers fans probably don't see a whole lot of Nick
- 19:16Speaker 3: Kurtz because Drew, as he mentioned, with the A's sweet jerseys,
- 19:20Speaker 3: not a whole lot of reason to watch the A's
- 19:21Speaker 3: over the last number of years. Not really, Nick, Kurt's
- 19:23Speaker 3: the reason to watch the A's's got good. Four bombs
- 19:26Speaker 3: in three his last three games, three in the last
- 19:29Speaker 3: two against the Crew, and he just demolishes baseballs. He's
- 19:34Speaker 3: got a little bit almost of a and I'm not
- 19:37Speaker 3: using this hyperbole here. The stance, the whole of the bat,
- 19:42Speaker 3: and the ferociousness at which he swings the bat reminds
- 19:46Speaker 3: me a tick of Otani, because I don't like Otani.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Swings the bat as hard as I can remember anybody
- 19:51Speaker 3: doing it since Prince Fielder, who I think was He
- 19:54Speaker 3: swung the bat harder than anybody I've ever seen. He
- 19:57Speaker 3: had evil intentions with that piece of wood whenever he
- 20:00Speaker 3: stepped up. Kurtz is right into that wheelhouse as well.
- 20:03Speaker 3: So he's been phenomenal, sadly against the Crew good as
- 20:07Speaker 3: well as he bomb. Hits a homer yesterday, and so
- 20:09Speaker 3: does Tyler Soderstrom after a pair the other day. He
- 20:13Speaker 3: hits one yesterday, three and two games though they are
- 20:14Speaker 3: in the hot category, not category the run differentials and
- 20:19Speaker 3: the UH and the underbetters.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Going out at the sports.
- 20:23Speaker 3: But for this week, I if you thought that it
- 20:26Speaker 3: was gonna auto correct over to the other side, and
- 20:28Speaker 3: that you were going to be able to uh sneak
- 20:30Speaker 3: in a win last night.
- 20:32Speaker 1: No can Doosville, Nope, nope.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Those infields are the infield that the grass hard baked?
- 20:37Speaker 2: Is that one almost tough for training too?
- 20:39Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 20:39Speaker 2: In spring training to the end, the infields are so
- 20:42Speaker 2: hard it hits go through that and you know, with
- 20:45Speaker 2: regular humidity, moisture and stuff gets sucked up.
- 20:47Speaker 3: When you want to hop one into the infield, then
- 20:49Speaker 3: it goes and rolls all the way to the left field.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Gone. That's a hard that's a hard beast. That's a
- 20:54Speaker 1: hard deal. It's crazy.
- 20:55Speaker 5: You know who's hot in a different way, These ads,
- 20:58Speaker 5: especially the Big twelve AD's over the sorees be ruling
- 21:00Speaker 5: they're hot because they're not happy about it. They got
- 21:02Speaker 5: I read the article, Yeah they did. They called, they
- 21:06Speaker 5: held the call, the air out grievances. So it's just
- 21:08Speaker 5: sounded like a venting session, like the group text like
- 21:11Speaker 5: just we're just.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Annoyed about it.
- 21:12Speaker 5: But yeah, everyone seems to be pretty hot over this thing.
- 21:15Speaker 5: In a different way. Yeah, you know who else is hot?
- 21:17Speaker 5: Luis Laura and his agent. There we go, come out
- 21:20Speaker 5: now we.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Were signed there one of their top prospect. It's such
- 21:23Speaker 2: an embarrassment of riches. But he's an outfield practice prospect.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Seven years thirty one million guaranteed. Would the potential be
- 21:31Speaker 2: ten years at seventy nine because they got three options
- 21:34Speaker 2: and he so he joins Chario and Cooper Pratt. His
- 21:37Speaker 2: guy's getting contracts before they ever hit the big leagues.
- 21:39Speaker 2: And the Brewers are taking risks on this, but it's
- 21:41Speaker 2: a shared risk, and it's shared risk, yes, and it's
- 21:43Speaker 2: pretty cool that they're doing this for a small market
- 21:45Speaker 2: team to get cost Certainly, one of the best deals
- 21:47Speaker 2: of Bruce had in the past years was Freddy Peralta. Yeah,
- 21:50Speaker 2: they got him for a steal. And now they're doing
- 21:53Speaker 2: that with these kids, wrapping them up and it's a
- 21:55Speaker 2: shared risk. But man, these kids get you know, generational
- 21:58Speaker 2: wealth and the Brewers get lost certainty and they lock
- 22:01Speaker 2: up pieces that look like they're gonna be good, Like, yeah, okay,
- 22:04Speaker 2: is there a chance this guy? Now everybody's like, okay,
- 22:06Speaker 2: so no, they signed him. He's on the forty man,
- 22:07Speaker 2: when's he come to the big leagues. Well, it's gonna
- 22:10Speaker 2: take probably an injury to Mitchell, Churio or.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Freelick, Yeah, somebody. If that happens, he'll get the call.
- 22:16Speaker 2: But they're not gonna call him up to be Blake
- 22:17Speaker 2: Perkins in bat once a week or twice a week.
- 22:20Speaker 2: This is for the future, This is for yeah, this
- 22:22Speaker 2: is not for this year. Per Se.
- 22:24Speaker 1: He's ready, he's tearing up triple A.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not They're not making this move and
- 22:28Speaker 2: it's not about right now necessarily.
- 22:32Speaker 3: No, I'm with you on that, Drew, especially when Jake
- 22:34Speaker 3: Bowers is hitting the way. He is another guy, right
- 22:36Speaker 3: and like you're trying to find as many opportunities.
- 22:38Speaker 1: To keep him him and Vaughan got to be in
- 22:39Speaker 1: the lineup.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Yeah, like you you just can't do that now. His clock,
- 22:42Speaker 3: this contract obviously will start today right like it would
- 22:44Speaker 3: start now, and then it rolls through. It doesn't have
- 22:46Speaker 3: anything to do with your contractual status going forward or
- 22:49Speaker 3: your arbitration and all that kind.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Of stuff that's now out the window. But he's twenty one.
- 22:53Speaker 3: And when you started hearing different people that were down
- 22:56Speaker 3: at spring training, and obviously my day when the ball
- 22:59Speaker 3: you know, hits the patches sounds different. You could tell
- 23:01Speaker 3: he got a lot of the oxygen. I want to
- 23:03Speaker 3: say it was yonder. Alonso was on with Greg Amsinger
- 23:06Speaker 3: on MLB Network and they did their thirty Clubs in
- 23:08Speaker 3: thirty days and Alonzo said.
- 23:10Speaker 1: This, Laura Kid's the one that I'm launching. This Dude's
- 23:13Speaker 1: got the it factor.
- 23:14Speaker 3: And when you got other former MLB players saying that
- 23:17Speaker 3: and not being able to describe what exactly drew the
- 23:21Speaker 3: it is, but guys that have been around the game
- 23:24Speaker 3: for twenty plus years kind of know it when they
- 23:26Speaker 3: see it. You could tell throughout spring he got a
- 23:29Speaker 3: ton of confidence in himself, and it seems like he's
- 23:32Speaker 3: just rolling it right through into the minor league season.
- 23:34Speaker 3: He's had a phenomenal year twenty one years old, and
- 23:36Speaker 3: you can't fake that glove right like him and Pratt
- 23:41Speaker 3: over the last what is this now six seven weeks
- 23:44Speaker 3: that they've signed these two contracts.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Maybe Prout was a little earlier than that one.
- 23:48Speaker 4: One.
- 23:49Speaker 3: A minor league gold glove, which, listening to Tim Dillard
- 23:52Speaker 3: say it last night, potentially is harder to win than
- 23:54Speaker 3: the Major League Baseball gold Glove because you're going against
- 23:57Speaker 3: all levels of the miners the play and they think
- 24:01Speaker 3: that the bat can be what pays off in the
- 24:04Speaker 3: long run, right, Like their baseline is, you play elite
- 24:08Speaker 3: defense and we'll figure out the rest of this stuff
- 24:10Speaker 3: with athleticism and scrap.
- 24:11Speaker 1: And I think it's.
- 24:12Speaker 5: Interesting that they're doing that because I think we become
- 24:15Speaker 5: more intelligent in some ways as a baseball community about
- 24:17Speaker 5: defense and how much it actually equates to wins, and
- 24:20Speaker 5: the Brewers have kind of tried to target that. I
- 24:23Speaker 5: believe in terms of you know, the Brewers are always
- 24:25Speaker 5: trying to find a market inefficiency to create wins for
- 24:28Speaker 5: the big league club without having to break the bank, and.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Defensive war has been one of them.
- 24:32Speaker 5: They've had a lot of really good players, defensive players
- 24:35Speaker 5: that have created wins from their defense, maybe where people
- 24:38Speaker 5: don't see it.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Bryce Terank is a great example.
- 24:40Speaker 5: Of that, and I think they're trying to do that
- 24:41Speaker 5: with these guys and guys it's like the Brewers are
- 24:44Speaker 5: making this their brand now in a way. At first
- 24:46Speaker 5: it was just like, Wow, they're trying this thing with
- 24:48Speaker 5: the Jackson Turio to front Low, you know, give them
- 24:51Speaker 5: this deal ahead of time.
- 24:52Speaker 1: But now they're making this their brand.
- 24:54Speaker 5: They did it with Pratt, they did it the game
- 24:55Speaker 5: with Laura, you have to imagine they're broaching a lot
- 24:58Speaker 5: of minor league players that they like for the future
- 25:00Speaker 5: with this type of opportunity, saying, look, this is one
- 25:03Speaker 5: way we can do business. This is one way we
- 25:05Speaker 5: can try and succeed. Present the idea of shared risk
- 25:08Speaker 5: to the player and their agents and let them make
- 25:10Speaker 5: the decision. I know some people look at these things differently,
- 25:15Speaker 5: like why are you giving player money when they haven't
- 25:17Speaker 5: earned it? But I think some people look at the
- 25:19Speaker 5: other way, saying, well, is this I don't say predatory,
- 25:23Speaker 5: but every player has their agency and their choice to
- 25:26Speaker 5: make the move they feel as best for them, and
- 25:28Speaker 5: some people like the security. Some players like the security
- 25:31Speaker 5: have taken the deal earlier. And if that's the case
- 25:33Speaker 5: for these guys and the Brewers are willing to do it,
- 25:36Speaker 5: you would have to expect more of these types of
- 25:38Speaker 5: deals to come down the line. And the Brewers are
- 25:40Speaker 5: ideally trying to build a team of young talent that's
- 25:43Speaker 5: locked in here for a while, assuming they pan out
- 25:46Speaker 5: and reach the potential and realize the potential that we.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Hope they will.
- 25:50Speaker 5: Not all will, but I think the fact is, Billy,
- 25:52Speaker 5: you mentioned it. If you have enough of these guys
- 25:54Speaker 5: that everyone's talking about being boy, the ball sounds different
- 25:57Speaker 5: in generational prospects. You know you have you have more
- 26:00Speaker 5: of those than some are going to hit. And that's
- 26:02Speaker 5: kind of the numbers game. The Birds are working with you.
- 26:04Speaker 1: That is correct, sir?
- 26:06Speaker 3: Do you does this put the players Union drew in
- 26:08Speaker 3: your estimation in the not category with the think so
- 26:13Speaker 3: pending negotiations is have anything in your eyes?
- 26:15Speaker 1: Bearing I'm not.
- 26:17Speaker 2: I'm not sure that this does because again they did
- 26:19Speaker 2: it with Churio and that was like you're reading the
- 26:21Speaker 2: tea leaves. I don't know what the ramifications will be,
- 26:25Speaker 2: but I think they're gonna end up saving money on
- 26:27Speaker 2: these guys, right, totally look totally.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 2: I mean if the option is again seven at thirty
- 26:33Speaker 2: one million or ten years at seventy nine million, I
- 26:37Speaker 2: mean you have a guy who's producing as a high level,
- 26:41Speaker 2: like let's say he's an all star level player, and
- 26:43Speaker 2: you have him for an average annual value of like
- 26:45Speaker 2: eight million a year.
- 26:46Speaker 1: That's going to be a steal. It's going to be
- 26:47Speaker 1: a steal. Yeah. And I will say again like Peralta
- 26:49Speaker 1: was making what five million or something like.
- 26:51Speaker 3: Yeah, he was making making dirt almost at the back
- 26:53Speaker 3: end of it, and that was why he was the
- 26:55Speaker 3: most day.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Starter, making five million when the other guys in that
- 26:58Speaker 2: role are making twenty five million.
- 26:59Speaker 3: And that's why he was maybe the most intriguing trade
- 27:01Speaker 3: piece because everybody could afford him.
- 27:03Speaker 5: It still is, right, I mean, I think he was
- 27:05Speaker 5: making I mean, if he was making like eight, I
- 27:06Speaker 5: think it was five over fifteen. So I don't know
- 27:08Speaker 5: how laid out, but it was an average of over
- 27:11Speaker 5: five years three per year.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Yeah, unless that right, I think that's no, You're right,
- 27:14Speaker 1: and I think it was.
- 27:15Speaker 3: I think it was escalatored up, like you know, maybe
- 27:17Speaker 3: he made like two million in the first year whatever
- 27:19Speaker 3: it is in four days. The Packers and Brewers, I
- 27:23Speaker 3: think both make shrewd thirty one million dollars guaranteed deals. Right, Like, yes, Laura,
- 27:29Speaker 3: if he does pan out to be even a legitimate
- 27:33Speaker 3: major league starter, that eight million bucks of years is
- 27:36Speaker 3: a pretty solid value. Is depending on whatever the salary
- 27:39Speaker 3: structure is in Major League Baseball, if there's a floor,
- 27:42Speaker 3: if there's a cap. I do wonder if getting in
- 27:44Speaker 3: some of these costs certain players does allow you to
- 27:47Speaker 3: know then, like how much more you'd have to spend
- 27:49Speaker 3: into a cap salary floor system. But this and the
- 27:55Speaker 3: Watson deal I think are both high upside for the teams.
- 27:59Speaker 3: But you can say there's some shared risk here, right,
- 28:01Speaker 3: there's absolutely they could be leaving money on the table.
- 28:05Speaker 3: But hard for me to be that broken hearted or
- 28:07Speaker 3: worry drew when you now have generational wealth, right, Like
- 28:11Speaker 3: the family now is taken care of and you can
- 28:13Speaker 3: just go and be the player that you hopefully are
- 28:15Speaker 3: going to turn into.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Yep, Armen, you're right.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Per Alta signed a five year, fifteen and a half
- 28:20Speaker 2: million dollar contract with the Brewers at a one point
- 28:23Speaker 2: one million dollars signing bonus fifteen million guaranteed average annual
- 28:26Speaker 2: salary of three million. In twenty twenty six, they picked
- 28:30Speaker 2: up an option and gave him eight. He was carrying
- 28:32Speaker 2: a total salary of eight and you know, but he
- 28:34Speaker 2: was your opening day starter making like three point seven
- 28:38Speaker 2: and five, and like that was a steal.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Right next level.
- 28:41Speaker 5: And baseball's not all about this being Connor stuff and
- 28:44Speaker 5: analyzing risk, but a lot of it is for the Brewers,
- 28:46Speaker 5: and I think they look at a straight analysis of
- 28:50Speaker 5: cost per win in MLB, which depending on whenever stat
- 28:53Speaker 5: you look at fanground, usually like eight or nine million
- 28:56Speaker 5: per win is what the market is. And that's brought
- 28:58Speaker 5: up by a lot of the top tier teams and
- 29:00Speaker 5: the Brewers field they can get wins for under that
- 29:02Speaker 5: from players, they're gonna go get it. And you know,
- 29:05Speaker 5: if you get a guy like Laura making that type
- 29:07Speaker 5: of money and he's given you two or three per
- 29:09Speaker 5: year based on war, that's a positive ev and they're
- 29:13Speaker 5: gonna take that. And the Brewers are gonna try and
- 29:14Speaker 5: build a team like that to continue to win the
- 29:17Speaker 5: way they have. And they've done that over the past,
- 29:19Speaker 5: you know, six eight years, they're doing it right now
- 29:22Speaker 5: and they're going to continue to try and do it
- 29:23Speaker 5: for the future. So the way the Brewers do business
- 29:26Speaker 5: is the envy of a lot of small markets because
- 29:28Speaker 5: it works. As frustrated as we get sometimes about playoff
- 29:31Speaker 5: moments and trying to come through and go in to
- 29:33Speaker 5: the World Series and the Dodgers and things like that,
- 29:36Speaker 5: the Brewers do things the way a lot of small
- 29:38Speaker 5: markets wi They wish they could do it right now
- 29:40Speaker 5: with the success they're having.
- 29:41Speaker 3: So does this now take I saw a couple of
- 29:44Speaker 3: people saying this for trade ships going forward, come come
- 29:48Speaker 3: deadline time. Does this put some other guys maybe squarely
- 29:52Speaker 3: into the onto the page of potential cells, like guys
- 29:58Speaker 3: maybe at the major league level.
- 29:59Speaker 1: I saw some people wondering, does this make sal Freelick.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Potentially expendable at the deadline if a team is wondering
- 30:04Speaker 3: if he could be a centerpiece.
- 30:06Speaker 2: A centerpiece. I don't know, man, people, that's fair. They
- 30:09Speaker 2: might have some Caleb Durban doubts, right, true, yeah, I
- 30:13Speaker 2: mean Mitchell and Freelick, aren't you know there? What's there
- 30:17Speaker 2: an one there? And they're both cheap too. Well, that's
- 30:19Speaker 2: the thing. They're at the point of their careers where
- 30:20Speaker 2: they're not making a lot of money right now.
- 30:22Speaker 3: No, I mean, Mitch and Mitchell had an over seven
- 30:26Speaker 3: hundred open player in the Major's there.
- 30:29Speaker 2: If they're a throw in, if there's a deal that
- 30:30Speaker 2: Brewers need to make, would you rather trade us out?
- 30:33Speaker 2: You're not trading moderate now, you're not trading you know,
- 30:35Speaker 2: And he's probably next, right, I.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Mean I would think he would be next.
- 30:39Speaker 3: And then you know, Paynya probably was in that untouchable category.
- 30:42Speaker 3: But now he's had so many health issues that I
- 30:44Speaker 3: don't necessarily know that that's even a possibility at this point.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Did they try to trade William Contreras or terrang in
- 30:49Speaker 1: the off season and move to the next level of
- 30:52Speaker 1: you know.
- 30:52Speaker 3: We had a hot take on the on the talking
- 30:54Speaker 3: text line, Buddy Pala said, on a serious business note,
- 30:57Speaker 3: I'm taking but I like taking bites at the apple.
- 30:59Speaker 3: But his can tray is going to be traded in
- 31:01Speaker 3: the offseason. If so, is it imperative to make a
- 31:04Speaker 3: big move while he's still here to try and they'll
- 31:07Speaker 3: recoup the prospects when he's dealt Is that a yes
- 31:10Speaker 3: or a no? And that came right after Chris and
- 31:11Speaker 3: lode I said if the Brewers can't sign Terrangu an
- 31:14Speaker 3: extended contract, now is the time to trade him for
- 31:16Speaker 3: his max value. There's a good thought, Drew that in
- 31:20Speaker 3: the next you know, eighteen months, both of those guys
- 31:23Speaker 3: are somewhere else because you hope to be able to develop.
- 31:26Speaker 3: But the catching spot, I think they were waiting for
- 31:28Speaker 3: Jefferson Caro to be that guy and kind of take
- 31:30Speaker 3: that mantle, and it's been a while since we were
- 31:32Speaker 3: waiting for that.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see at a time.
- 31:35Speaker 2: For our current electric superhero of the day, and I
- 31:37Speaker 2: think it's got to be Jordan Stall, doesn't it.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it was going to be Jordan Stall, but
- 31:41Speaker 3: actually I got one other one in Arman.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Do you have this one over on the other side
- 31:44Speaker 1: as it should be.
- 31:45Speaker 3: On the Fox Sports with Fox Sports nine to twenty
- 31:48Speaker 3: twitter page. The best way to be able to follow
- 31:50Speaker 3: the show. It's at FSRWI and Brandon Bussy What is
- 31:55Speaker 3: the goaltender? After the injury happened to Freddie Anderson in
- 32:00Speaker 3: game number three of the Stanley Cup Final, Brandon Bussey
- 32:04Speaker 3: became the first ever undrafted first year goaltender to start
- 32:09Speaker 3: at Stanley Cup Final game and in the midst of
- 32:13Speaker 3: the celebration, he talked after the game and he was
- 32:17Speaker 3: a hero last night for the Carolina Hurricanes, but he
- 32:21Speaker 3: talked about his real heroes and they showed him on
- 32:23Speaker 3: TV last night.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I can't believe you guys just did that to be
- 32:32Speaker 1: on TV.
- 32:33Speaker 3: He had eighteen saves last night, drew in the victory
- 32:36Speaker 3: the Carolina Hurricanes even and up at two to two.
- 32:39Speaker 3: He found out in the morning that he was going
- 32:41Speaker 3: to start, called his fiance and his parents. They jumped
- 32:43Speaker 3: on the first thing, smoking out of I believe probably
- 32:45Speaker 3: Charlotte instead of Ralegh. North Carolina got there for the
- 32:49Speaker 3: puck drop last night in Sin City and got to
- 32:52Speaker 3: watch their son do It's rather unthinkable get the win
- 32:55Speaker 3: last night as just a twenty seven year old. He
- 32:58Speaker 3: had some great numbers throughout the year, played a lot
- 33:01Speaker 3: during the season for Carolina. They won thirty one of
- 33:04Speaker 3: his thirty eight starts, thirty nine starts, but ultimately gets
- 33:08Speaker 3: the dub last night and the Bussy Boys and.
- 33:11Speaker 1: That bus was rolling for the Canes last night.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Yeah, so he can share it with Jordan Stall, who's
- 33:16Speaker 2: i mean, twenty years in the league captain, got four
- 33:20Speaker 2: it's they're the new Sutters out of thunder Bay.
- 33:22Speaker 3: They got four brothers who played in the HL. It's
- 33:25Speaker 3: just insane. And he's got five goals in the Cup final.
- 33:28Speaker 3: There's like two other guys that have done that in hockey.
- 33:32Speaker 3: One of them was Gretzky and one of them I
- 33:34Speaker 3: believe was Mario Lemu.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Pretty good company. That's not a bad spot to be
- 33:37Speaker 1: in if you can be there. Yeah, yep.

- 35:00Speaker 2: you are in the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. I'm
- 35:11Speaker 2: a close up shop on this edition of the Huddle
- 35:13Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew, Billy and Arman gonna get
- 35:17Speaker 2: to our Awaken Bake story momentarily, but first, an Orthopedic
- 35:21Speaker 2: Associates of Wisconsin injury update Brandon Woodruff last evening yesterday.
- 35:27Speaker 2: I don't know if it was the evening. I can't
- 35:28Speaker 2: say Arizona Complex League. He got a start through sixty
- 35:33Speaker 2: eight pitches, three and two thirds innings, five heads, three
- 35:36Speaker 2: earned runs, two walks, five strikeouts.
- 35:40Speaker 3: So the Complex League, Drew, can you explain to me
- 35:43Speaker 3: the different So is that basically the.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Extension of spring training?
- 35:47Speaker 3: Like do they kind of have a lot of the
- 35:48Speaker 3: spring training rules where you're able to kind of bring
- 35:50Speaker 3: guys in and out, allow them to just go to
- 35:53Speaker 3: like a certain number and things like that, because it
- 35:56Speaker 3: feels like that's almost one of the ways that they've
- 35:58Speaker 3: been trying to slow roll these guys instead of put
- 36:01Speaker 3: you into a real game.
- 36:03Speaker 2: You know, it's for injured guys, and it's basically like
- 36:06Speaker 2: it is kind of extended spring, like you're in the complex.
- 36:09Speaker 2: And he was scheduled for four innings and sixty to
- 36:13Speaker 2: sixty five pitches and he got close. Yeah, I got
- 36:15Speaker 2: close to it, Okay, And Priester is going to pitch
- 36:18Speaker 2: uh later this this weekend. He's going to pitch five innings,
- 36:22Speaker 2: seventy seventy five pitches. Jared Kanning's pitching tonight for Nashville.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Come all's on the dock at fore arm back and
- 36:28Speaker 2: Logan Henderson is not projected not to return until July.
- 36:31Speaker 2: So Wisconsin check out Arthur Wisconsin dot com. They sponsor

- 36:40Speaker 2: right here in our backyard.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Ortho Wisconsin dot com.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Yeah, and Brian Fitzpatrick ends up being the the sixty
- 36:47Speaker 3: sixty day il move for Luis Laaragan and put onto
- 36:50Speaker 3: the forty man roster. Dude, that was one of the
- 36:52Speaker 3: That's one of the sadder moments when you see a
- 36:54Speaker 3: guy during warm ups have the arm just go and
- 36:58Speaker 3: then you know it and them that he had at
- 37:00Speaker 3: coors Field as a tough one. Hopefully, hopefully it ends
- 37:03Speaker 3: up being better news. I know he's seeking a second
- 37:05Speaker 3: opinion coming up apparently for that injury. So hopefully it's
- 37:08Speaker 3: not as nearly as bad as they think.
- 37:10Speaker 1: It would be.

- 37:35Speaker 3: I gotta say, I'm just I'm still struggling to not
- 37:38Speaker 3: think that there had to be some kind of inhaling
- 37:42Speaker 3: going on in that lubby courtroom, because the response to
- 37:46Speaker 3: the temporary restraining order for Brendan Soresby against the nc
- 37:50Speaker 3: double A has not a lot of times when there's
- 37:53Speaker 3: a developing story and that there's a ruling on this drew,
- 37:57Speaker 3: there are two contending sides. There are of people and
- 38:01Speaker 3: a smattering of folks. Even in the highest levels of
- 38:03Speaker 3: college sports, let's say I kind of understand it. There's
- 38:06Speaker 3: not one professional league across the world, as Dan Wilkin
- 38:11Speaker 3: from ESPN or Dan Wetzel from ESPN went through. He
- 38:15Speaker 3: was on DP just after our show yesterday and said,
- 38:18Speaker 3: I went through every FIFA sanctioned soccer league, every Chinese
- 38:24Speaker 3: table tennis league. There's not one that allows you to
- 38:27Speaker 3: break the third wall of sports and still compete and
- 38:29Speaker 3: bet on your own game to potentially still play. The
- 38:34Speaker 3: NCAA denied Texas Tech's appeal for reinstatement this past Friday
- 38:38Speaker 3: for their quarterback Brandon Sorsby, who they've allegedly paid over
- 38:41Speaker 3: six million dollars in Ventil money to to play here
- 38:44Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty sixth season. It just it continues
- 38:47Speaker 3: to be one that you wonder if there was a
- 38:50Speaker 3: French in hal just a puff puff pass deal. But
- 38:53Speaker 3: every single league is now drew trying to figure out
- 38:55Speaker 3: how they can stop it exactly, and one love it
- 38:57Speaker 3: courtroom is just saying, we don't.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Care, try to bring it down here to West Texas.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Good luck?
- 39:03Speaker 5: Goodn't it just amazing that man? Yeah, the more you
- 39:07Speaker 5: think about it, the more ridiculous that situation is.
- 39:09Speaker 1: It really is.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Every single time you read even more about it, it
- 39:12Speaker 3: becomes even crazier to think of almost as crazy as
- 39:15Speaker 3: Keishawn Nixon uh allegedly holding out for some contract talks
- 39:19Speaker 3: there in Green by.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Him not catching a ball that almost got the quarterback clipped.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Did you see that, dude? I mean, come on now,
- 39:27Speaker 3: Jordan Love didn't win the Heisman. That was a heisman
- 39:30Speaker 3: s pose to be able to stop that thing? Are
- 39:31Speaker 3: you kidding me? What? What reflexes by number ten?
- 39:34Speaker 1: The pretty good? Pretty good?
- 39:36Speaker 3: I also liked that he showed as match nineman at
- 39:40Speaker 3: from the athletic put out. He's like Jordan Love wanted
- 39:42Speaker 3: to let everybody know, Hey, look at it, Look at this,
- 39:45Speaker 3: Look at athletic. This is Jordan Love has a fish
- 39:48Speaker 3: story for everybody.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Hey, We've got a pair of Summerfest tickets and some
- 39:51Speaker 2: Russell Dickerson upfront wristbands to give away right now. Seven

- 40:14Speaker 2: Club members, thanks to everybody else who checked in. I've

- 40:19Speaker 2: not be able to talk about today. It's an event
- 40:21Speaker 2: this afternoon. It's kind of big. We'll be talking about
- 40:24Speaker 2: it eventually. A little tease for you, but hope it
