  Speaker 1: Worldwide on the iheartradios, streaming live on Facebook x in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: YouTube for all of you smart, good looking Insomniac's early
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: risers and sociopaths.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I saw them pulling into the health.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Club, sitting in their cars or sitting standing in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: vestibule waiting to get started. On this Tuesday, Andrew Wilson,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Billy Schmid birthday boy yesterday, not here at this juncture,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: will join us for the six o'clock festivities on his
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: way to lambeau Field for practice today. Armand Sorry in
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: station mascot is in his chair or in his layer
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: over there. He doesn't really sit, He's in his layer,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: surrounded by computer screens like theons.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Hello, Armin, Hey, good morning Joe. I like the word layer.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: That's a good one. I'm gonna I sort of like that.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I do feel like I have a layer back here.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Layer is that's usually where the bad guy goes, right, Yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: that was a negative connotation, always layer, you know what
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I mean. I guess if you're at a perch, you
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: could be a good guy, the Wizard of Oz, you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: or gargoyle or a sniper.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I guess if you want to look at it that way.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: But Uh, yeah, I guess I kind of like that,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: and I'm trying to write it wrong because yesterday I
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: failed to come through for Billy's birthday with anything, so
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I brought the glaziers today so he'll be in later.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: So I think that's right, he'll stop him before he goes.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he said it here.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I mean so I feel like that that that's a
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: little bit better late than never. And then I asked myself,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and well, we'll get into buy ourself. Two day later,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I asked myself, you know, is me just getting glazers
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: a day after Billy's birthday?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Is that like a belated birthday card?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Is that more disrespectful as like the cell phone walk
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and talk as Seinfeld famously said in one of the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: last episodes of Seinfeld while was still topical, Or is
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: that like a hero complex?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: By me? And then I've got this is these are
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: all the things I was like exstential question at the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: four o'clock hour.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Like, is this do I have like a hero complex
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and I wanted to come through for Billy? Or is
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: it just you know, you can be okay with a
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: good deed. You just lift donuts and everyone likes donuts. Yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: just that you like donuts, And I'm like.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I always wondering about that tradition about whoever,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: if it's your birthday, you bring in treats.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah made that in greade school. Yeah that's not how
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: it should work. It never made any sense to me.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I remember, like you know, parents probably all over the
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: places were like, wait, I've got to do I do?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Or the kids are like wait, I have to ask
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: my parents. I have to figure out cupcakes because of them?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Should we uh my burden? Should we buck conventional wisdom
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: on this show? Because if you get a hole in
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: one when you go into the bar, you're supposed to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: buy drinks for everybody. I remember you got the hole
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: in one. Yeah, people should be buying you cocke. They
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: should be buying you cocktails your big day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You were the one that I all right, what or else?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: What's the point of telling people you got it? I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: will I will say, like I have a.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Circle of friends who you know, we're dudes, we're close,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: but mostly.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Our wives are tight. I like that. Yeah, wives have
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: this inner circle and we're we kind of float around
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: on the edge. You're you're periphery by association.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So the wives will get together several times you're and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: then a lot of times they'll haul lesson. We'll do
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: things as a group, but you know, the contact is minimal.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: You don't have like your own group text no no way, right,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: like the no women.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing is that one time one of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and one of the guys in our group was having
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a birthday.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: That's kind of cool, all right, But then and.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Then we got a text from another guy saying, hey,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: what should we do for insert guy here player a's birthday?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: It's like did you like wait a minute, like hold on,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: hold on here, but nothing, We're not like that. We're guys.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: That's the way the women would because the women make
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a big deal lot of birthdays and they go crazy.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh it's all those birthday Oh great, okay.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's like it doesn't affect my life one way or
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the other. And that's it was like shocking to us.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, what should we do for this guy's birthday?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Like nothing, We're not chicks, right, that's not what we do.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: We're not going out the spicy marks. We're not gonna
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: go see a movie, we're not gonna buy him anything.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna pool our resources and him anything. If
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I see him, I might say, hey, happy birthday, dude,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm a dude.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It's so true. It's like it was ring.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, how did that, How did the female things
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: seep into our world? Well through this one guy who
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: thought it was a probate and I don't think he
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: realized how that his message was received.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: It's completely because everybody else is like he was, like
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: what he was blisfully unaware of.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The exactly what we've done for his birthday in the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: last six years.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Nothing. Everyone looked at that text with five eyes. Yes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: But the problem is, and this is my theory if
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you wanted, is that the female side of the relationship
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: doesn't understand that. So they're they're worried about their world,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: which is you better make a big deal out of it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You better have matching outfits, you better have plans, you
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: better show her like you better bring the balloons or
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: else they're going to be offended.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But that's how guys think.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And I've tried to talk to Laura about this many times,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: and it's it's understandable that like everyone's fed their own
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: reality in their world, so it's like, you know, in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: your wh your world, it makes total sense and our
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: world makes no sense. And yeah, I always joke about
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: this with Laura because she's like, makesure you get a
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: gift card for your dad's birthday. I'm like, my dad
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to gift card for me, but I'll get
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: him something. But I mean, like, so I'm more what's
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the right word, not stringent, But I'm I never miss
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: anymore because Laura make sure because she's worried. Because in
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the female world, that's right. It's a thing you have
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to do that. You have to make sure you get something.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: You have to not be offended when you're right, Drew.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Most of the motivation for the Glaziers is my own
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: motivation to have an excuse to eat donuts. And that's
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: okay too. You know that's okay too. So you're absolutely right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: It's a It is kind of a funny thing. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: bet the guy, honestly, I bet I sent his wife's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: send the text. He's like, you should text the guys
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and make sure you're doing something for the birthday. I'm like,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: but we don't ever do that. That's not what we do. Yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: it's not the way we roll. I always at one
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: of my many bachelor parties and then like you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I'm dating Laura. She's like, what did you guys do? Like,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: did you guys, did you have to get matching outfits
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: and atch? Like did you have to get like inter
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: twoe floating floaty cups. I'm like, no, guys, don't do
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: any We don't do any of that stuff.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: We we do.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: We do real things like actually have like we actually
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: laugh with each other and have organic like like interactions
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: with each other and joke and laugh. That's how that's
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: how we show affection to each other by putting on
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: a YouTube clip and say did you see this breaking
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: balls exactly?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that. So it's just not not wired the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: same way.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Well, all that to say, I'm glad Billy will come
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in and get his glazers in an hour, so we.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Have a lot to do before that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And then I don't know, maybe this would be a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: good scientific study of the volume of group texts that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they like they have on a daily basis, and then
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that you have, like during a game, you might have
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a group tests going, but that's and the regular course
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of the day, are you texting your buddies? Anything unless
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's tied to a specific outing event or you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: like a game or something.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But like I just don't, you know, put up.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: There are guys that we that I consider, you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: my good buddies that I will go routinely a month
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to two months without air forexting or talk.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Without checking in.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and in a lot of ways, I do like
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the group text because it keeps everyone at least bonded.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And if there's something funny that happens, or there's something
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: interesting that it pertains to everybody, you know, you have
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: to fire it off or a link. A lot of
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: times it's a lot of links. Yeah, one of my
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: group text is a lot of links of funny videos.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And some are more active than others, depending But yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I would say it's a normal you know, you might
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: go you might go a day without hearing from anybody.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You might go a couple of days, or it might
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: be you know, there's a big game. The next thing
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: you know, you look down and there's like, what was it,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: NBA Finals Game seven? There's like sixty texts and then
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: it's like everyone started conversing about it, or or it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: one random joke that got everyone going or something funny
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: they saw from somebody on the internet, like that's usually
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it happens. But you're right, I mean there's no cursory
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: checking usually, So it's like it's like there's no like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: morning fellas, hope everybody grinds up today, it has.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Any day like that, or like they use that for
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the support of Oh, I'm having a really bad, you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: workday and my boss is a jerk.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna need wine later and say, oh, you poor thing. Oh,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: like we don't have that. It's just no, it's just
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it's just not part of our culture as much. That's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: for sure. Not the way.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Now we got the you on YouTube as well. Obviously
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you can watch this on YouTube. Facebook X we got
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the peach ink says Happy Taco Tuesday, fellas.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another thing.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Is it? Like every is it every week? You know
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you have to get togetherst Taco Tuesday? We have to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: get together for this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And then why isn't it Turkey Tuesday? Why isn't it?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Why is it?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: We love a literation? Why can't I have Tuesday? There
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you go, fetchers, you need Tuesday?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. And then he went
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: on talking about the Brewers, which we'll talk about.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Brewers lost.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Uh you know one of those games, their offense was
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a show about nothing other than an early walk by
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Contreras and a home run by Yelich.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I was that were.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Placed in the six seven slot, six seven kids? How
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So does that mean it worked? Nah?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I'm sure people will say that, like, oh, look it worked.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: See you moved these guys all they couldn't. Well, Contrera's
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: just taking walks everywhere in the lineup and Yellows is
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: h everywhere in the lineup.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it didn't work for anybody.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Else talked about that will Does changing the lineup help
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: those guys? I think you can make a case that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Oh, Christian Yelich needs a wake up call.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: He knows he's slumping.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Contreras has sucked equally bad, arguably worse.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Murphy said, it's not about motivation, it's about what's
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: best for our team.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and there you go.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Try to move those guys down and have the productive
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hitters in a cluster, because there's been like, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a vortex there. That's the first time in several years
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that Contreras batted below the four hole.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was and you know, Yelich obviously we've talked
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: about him betting had it happened a lot either, But
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: you know, in that moment, it was good. It was
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: good to see Elogie because for a while that was
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: standing up because Logan Henderson was pitching, so.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Cit why they didn't want to pitch him.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And then the loss yesterday is like, yeah, they pushed
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Logan Henderson to the seventh inning and he gave up homer, right, because.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: That was uncharted territory for him.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, first time and the second time is a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: pro first time in the big leagues. But he stood
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: up because they were a little depleted. They had a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: bunch of guys that were off limits because they didn't
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: want to pitch them three days in a row.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: That's part of the win to night thing.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Right, he used you Rebay and McGill and you didn't
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: save your bullets and then you got stuck on the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: back end there when those guys weren't available, and Ashby
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: as well, So three to two you lose that game.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That's there's no shame that Potters are one of the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: hottest teams in the league, the best closer in the league.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He got a guy on base. Now, Contreras did walk
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: again in the ninth, and Lockritch ran for him and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: was thrown out, stealing.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: The end of the game. Weird end of the game.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you got to try to do what you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: can do because how many how many times does Mason
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Miller give up multiple hits?
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, our contact is a premium off him, So I
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: didn't really mind that. I thought that was a good
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: shot to get okay once Si had a couple of hits.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Other than that, the offense was a show about nothing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: First day on the West Coast. They're entering the last
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: six games of a you know, somewhat hellish seventeen straight
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, since an off dayDay. They've got Monday off
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: after they go to LA. So it wasn't l you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: move on, It wasn't it's not that wasn't like a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: disgusting loss. If you're gonna lose, that's kind of a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you know, one Street to two.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then happened. Move on.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Logan gives up the homework to Jackson Merrill. Really good player, obviously.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, almost change up to him. Almost give it up
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in the fourth.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: So you could say well he should have been in
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the seventh well maybe maybe somebody else would have gotten
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the out, but it could have happened in the fourth too,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: so he'd have done a good job up until that
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: point getting out of trouble. And I don't know, it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: just that importance of tack on runs.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Talk about it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: If you can get him, you need it, and that's
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: the importance of them to try and keep yourself out
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: of that situation. But you know, Casey Mayes was much
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: better than he was in his first start. He had
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: you know, he settled in so so that's just the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: way it goes sometimes. Unfortunately, Brewer's fall three two to
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the to the Padres and as they're locked in a
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: battle as well out in San Diego, they've been playing
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: really well, so one of those situations you'd like to
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: win every one run game drew, it doesn't happen that way,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: featuring the feel bad for a young guns having to
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: be perfect then after night anyway, Yelly, question Mark, I
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: don't know what the last part is. Are you asking like, yes, Yelly, yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: he homeward or do you want it to do more?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure the question, but yeah, I mean right,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: now the uh right, now, the bats, the bats, oh,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: the pitchers? One right, I mean this next and you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: six weeks, I would say, and you hope it works
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: that way.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: But sometimes it just does.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Face if you're gonna face Mason, Miller and Mice and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: scooball like the rest of the Yeah, I'm a moto.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Or whoever, or a stat that I want to say.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: This is the either eight or nine years in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: history of Major League Baseball where strikeouts of outpaced hits,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: and they've all been the last eight years and it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: happening again this year or something like that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It's just the arawar in pictures dolidate.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: What's more shocking, is there a hitter qualified for the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: batting title right now with a three average north of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: three hundred.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: That's a good question.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I mean I think, like like twelve guys were in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the two ninety.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not to look that up, but you're right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just not what we do anymore as
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: a baseball community. It too hard to hit. It's you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: do you think, guy, you think singles are deemphasized too.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I've heard that argument as well, like it once upon
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: a time, hitting for average was emphasized, and that's a
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: lot of singles, and now it's power walks because of
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the way people look at analytics and things like that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I saw you know, there aren't many
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: weight boxes out there that get two hundred hits and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: one hundred walks, right, which which I think he did
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: several times in a row.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of these kids come up focusing on
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: launch angles, especially as well, so it's like you need
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: to hit.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know that singles are demphasized because look at
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Luis Ariaz. You know that guy gets he's getting paid
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and he get acquired. So I don't think so.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Jord On Albarez three twenty three, and then Ariaz is
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: three sixteen. You have Freddy Freeman's three. Oh wait, so
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: there are some guys they have enough at bets to qualify.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. I would assume ariahs than you're
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: on due. Yeah, I would think, so I have to
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: look deeper into some of these other guys. There's also yeah,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: some of these guys like Auto Lopez, I'm not sure
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: if they, but you you would think at least Ariaz,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: you're probably Freddy Freeze.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing is, like I think, in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: order to if you're listed among the leaders, you've got
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to average three plate appearances per game that your team
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: has played or something like that. So that puts you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: on pace to be a qualifier. I don't know, but
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it's just it is more rare. There are fewer three
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: hundred hitters than there have been in a long time.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, no doubt. I mean that's just the trend
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: in the game, and that's been that way.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: All right, eight seven seven seven nine three to the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: nicolay law dot com talk and text I'm going to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: be doing some buying and selling, just like Arman bought
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: some glazers this morning.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, got some glaziers. Try to buy some hero equity.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: As I was thinking to myself as I walked in
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: buying or selling, you can get him in all day
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: and the nickolay Lot dot com talk and text line.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: You can get him in on our YouTube comments x
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Facebook comments as well. The stream is gonna be coming
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: hot and heavy all day. Read out, Tom notop, what
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: did you get matching off? It's husband. No, we did
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: get matching one dollar bills though. Oh hey, now so
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: there you go. That's something that's something you come together on.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Even then though you kind of like the herd, the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the dude herd will separate absolutely.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: It's it's not like we're going to stay together. Everyone
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: stay together.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Has I dance like that? Was always?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: When when you're single and you run into a bachelorette party,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you might be smitten with one of the uh, you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the attendees. But the idea that you're going to triangulate
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and break them away from the herd suicide mission right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: It is a lesson I learned as a young young
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: We all learned that lesson.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: We all.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Look, there's like ten girls here, you're having a party.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I like this girl, and she's talking to me, and
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to, like, you know, spit some game.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: No. Billy's always laughed about that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I tell Billy this story, and he's always laughed about
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: it because he knows my proclivity to be careful. I
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: guess with my wall I don't know what the joke is,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: but the George castands up. But you learned that early on,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: and I had a running joke with my friends. It
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: was pie write and alert, pie right. Alert, now'm pie right?
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: If you're a gemologist. You know, that's fool's gold. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: then I made the point that a bachelorette party is
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: fool's gold. It looks good, it looks there. They're all there,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: dressed up, they're all the more ratio.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Seems good, they're more gregarious, they're lubricated.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Next thing, you know, you just you liked one girl.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: You had to buy the whole group of shot. Next thing,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you know, you just paid eighty dollars at Buckheads on
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: a World third Street for them to get it back
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: on the bus.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a lesson you had to learn.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yep, though well played. Yeah, well that's a buyer cell
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: You sell this.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna get some some good buyer sell propositions.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Rolling forward eight seven, seven, seven, nine to four one
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: ninety seven three. In fact, we might fire that up early.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I know Hunter bomb guards on vacation for the rest
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of this week. Did you give us a Brewers recap?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: He told me it wasn't.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: He wasn't gonna be able to just because of the uh,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the schedule, the game. I thought when he had to
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: turn around this morning, so I said, don't worry about it,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: No worries we'll we'll muddle through.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: We'll muddle through without Hunter's recap, but he was he's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: still paying attention to the Brewers even though they're late
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: for us. Like I will admit, I had to wake
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: up and see the highlights and I watched the condensed
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you know, highlight package.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, for a while, I almost caught all
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: of it because for a while that thing was.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Moving along pretty quick. Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Game.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm like, all right, I've done a good job,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: pod committed. Once you get through the sixth the inning,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: what are you going to bed for?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: That's the hard part, And that always has been the
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: hard part for me with the schedule. However, sometimes your
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: body just takes over.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: The Brewers were on the West Coast like earlier this year,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and I got up and looked at the looked at
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: my phone and they were playing extra innings. Yeah, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: then I was in And then I was like that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like waking up, and it's like waking up.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: You don't realize you've been on your couch sleeping for
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: two hours, drooling and the time life love songs, infommercials.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I don't imagine many people listening to us. I don't
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: imagine many five o'clock clubbers were there till the last pitch.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: If you were, that's what we're here for.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Hit us up and let us know, because I don't
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: know how you could prove it, because I'm still I'm
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: going to be skeptical because the ven diagram of people
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: who were up late watching the Brewers on the West
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: coast and then are part of the five o'clock Club here.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: That's just not there, just not there. No, then I
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: have another one to a as an official score in
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: that room. I have another one to ask you about
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: later on. It's bizarre to lay in the Blue Jays
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: red sox.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I still can't unpack that. And it's not that's not
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that's an umpire thing more than anything. But yeah, that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: was bizarre. I did catch wind of that. That's just bizarre.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Billy will be dropping in after five o'clock.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: But the five o'clock Club is open for you. So
• 19:00

  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin if you're one.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Talked to Wayne about last week when when we were
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: at Lambeau and it's for him. He's he's calling plays
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's like it's almost like training camp
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: for Wayne, sitting up there with Billy as there describing
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: action that happens and it unfolds in front of them.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, getting warm, warming up. What a treat to hear that?
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Always?
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, and is a play by play guy's worst
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: nightmare basically because he uh, he was he was saying,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: how you know the names and the numbers and guys
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: who are going to be selling insurance in a couple
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: of weeks.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bunch of unknown players.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot harder to work and prepare for
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: it because it's a lot of unknown players and like
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: a lot less payoff because the games don't matter. There's
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: no jews, there's no excitement nobody. I shouldn't say that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I mean people are obviously watching and listening, but not
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: to the same degree they would be for the regular
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: season opener, obviously, so it can be kind of a chore,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: right for a play by play guy to get through
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: those games.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It can be kind of a chore.

• 23:04
  Speaker 1: winning His Bucks coach of all time, one of the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: great coaches and figures in Wisconsin sports history.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Don Nelson.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: We talked about the Farm Fund, where he was raising
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: money for farmers because that was his background growing up
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: in Rock Island, Illinois.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And he had that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Tractor thing where he drove a tractor from Nina to Milwaukee.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: They had like the you know, stops along the way,
• 23:27

• 23:30
  Speaker 1: famously was had a naming contest sports still at Goolsby's.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: That's right, that is there right there in the foot
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: there that that's pretty awesome.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I mean part of the lower A lot of those,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: A lot of stuff doesn't happened anymore, you know, like
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: whoor a guy becomes a fabric every week a lot
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: of times because at least in the NBA, you can't
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: be around the place long enough to set roots.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And we mentioned yesterday the great players that played for him,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and Paul Mulkeske's name came up.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: You had with that mustache man, Paul m with the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: perm the mustache. It was fun yesterday just hearing people
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: shout out names of eighties.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Mo had a post. I'm not friends with him on Facebook,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: but it came up on my.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Four or whatever. I didn't see that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Paul Mulkeskey had a post and I'm going to read
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: this for you because it's touching. He said, we lost
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame coach and a great person yesterday.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I played for Nelly for half my NBA career, my
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: twelve year NBA career, five years for the Bucks, and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: my last year for the run TMC nineteen ninety one
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors. He was way ahead of his time,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a coach that thought outside the box and always listened
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to his players. Everyone is talking about his innovation of
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: small ball and using a point forward to bring the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: ball up to the court, but they don't realize that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: when I started playing for him in the early eighties,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: he was a.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Great defensive mind.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: He started using different angles for double teaming a post
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: player and adding the correct rotations of that double team.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: We drilled on that every practice.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Back then, you needed to double the post because there
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: were so many great post players. Most just needed one
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: name Kareem, Moses, Parrish, McHale just to name a few.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I also had the honor being an assistant coach for
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Nellie with the Dallas Mavericks for four years. I got
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to see firsthand his coaching brilliance and coaches meetings on
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the practice court and in games. More important, how he
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: manages players, speaking the truth about their game, challenging them
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: and keeping them accountable. The team was always more important
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: than any individual. He was hard on players, but we
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: all knew he loved us, except maybe rookies. I have
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: too many Nelly stories to post. Some I could share,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: some I could not. But he was more than just
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a coach to me. He saved me more than one time.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: He saved me as a player. After I was cut
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: by the Caves, he signed me to a couple ten
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: day contracts, then, seeing my value to the team, signed
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: me to a two year contract and added seven more
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: years onto my career. He saved my coaching career, signing
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: me as assistant coach for the MAVs when no one
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: else would give me a chance. I ended up coaching
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: at every level, college, overseas and NBA for more than
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: twenty years. Rip coach, you lived a full life and
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: helped a lot of people along the way. Awesome, great tribute.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: What an awesome tribute that was. M And yeah he
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: said it really well.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: That's a good point about the double teams in the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: in the eighties and nineties, and then illegal defense started,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: if you remember Drew, because they wanted to take zone
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: defense out of the game. There's an illegal defense thing
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: which was basically you couldn't had too many guys toward
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: one guy in the post or so the way to
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: stop those guys legally was to bring doubles, and it
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: became a more creative thing to bring doubles in different
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: ways or how was the double gonna come? And to
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: his point, to stop dominant post players. And that was
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: still the basis of the game back then, right was
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: having a dominant big guy until the game changed. So
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: what an awesome tribute by Paul Mulkski. I would never
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: have guessed twelve years, but yeah, I had a couple
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: of stints with the Cavs in there, had that year
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: at the Warriors, and a crafty, creative guy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So do you remember the Basketball League? He was the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: commissioner of the Basketball League for the twenty nineteen season.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I remember that. One big ho
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: was seven foot guy out of Kansas. He was a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: second round NBA pick. Had quite a career, so he did.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he only averaged a point and a half,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: but he carved out twelve years.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: So you know you're doing something right as as a
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: help a team if you're doing stuff like that. So
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: and he was always the poster I think unfortunately he
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: gets tabbed as like the poster child when you look
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: at him, for of like, I can't believe that guy
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: played in the eighties when you see like kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: a chubby guy with a mustache and curly hair and
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: classic eight like Jackie Moon type player, right where he
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: becomes a figure. But listen, that's a legit career and
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: that's a legit mean, yeah, he was a coach as well,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: like you mentioned, And I just love hearing guys tribute,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: you know, the ones that they felt with a true
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: vision because a lot of times in the outside of
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: his fans, we think we know what's what guys are
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: good and what stories are there, But when you really
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: hear their peers.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Talk about them, it's pretty cool.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Ricky Pierce Great great, Buck Great. It was pleased to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: have him as a coach and lifelong friend. He changed
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the trajectory of my career and brought up the best
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of me. I'm forever grateful. Rest in peace.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: And when you get tributes like that, when people are
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: saying you changed my life, thank you.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: What an impact? That's what an impact? Yeah, no question,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: you Pierce. Another great eighties Buck the Bucks put out
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: a nice statement.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Eleven years in Milwaukee, he won five hundred and forty games,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: winning his coach in franchise history.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And again we talked about it. Yes, just a great legacy.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I was after we got off the air, I was
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: reading some of the tributes and it was just cool
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that people are recognizing Nelly's impact on the game and
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the city. And again it's it's ah man, it's hard
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to tell people what it was like, you know, pre
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: social media, where stuff like when that that like farm
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: fun thing that he did and you know, helping the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: farmers and that tour, and it was all over the news,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it was in the papers. It was like it was
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a big deal, like before stuff was viral. That was viral,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that was and they raised like a
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: half a million bucks, which again it's we were I
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: was talking about on a podcast. It's a lot of money,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: but it was even more money in nineteen eighty five of.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: His mouth, so right, it was a he can get
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: jaded by you know, you get desensitized by numbers like
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: that these days, but you're right, definitely. I mean the
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: total valuation of the bucks when herb Cole bought them
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: was like fourteen million, right, if I'm right, if I'm
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: not mistaken, so that it's amazing to think about. Yeah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: think about what he did, and they're probably at one
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: point paying Larry Sanders more than that. Yeah, I guess absolutely.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're right. Let's just think about it. You
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: took over in seventy seven. Okay, so seventy seven season
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: to eighty seven. Think of these Look at these records. Okay,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Now the first season forty four and thirty eight, then
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: thirty eight and forty four, finding their footing through the
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: late seventies, forty nine to thirty three.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Then we start in nineteen eighty Bucks.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Now in nineteen eighty you think about you know, the Lakers,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the Sixers, the Celtics, right sixteen to twenty two. That
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: was an amazing, amazing record. The Bucks won sixty games
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty, fifty five and eighty one, fifty one
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: in eighty two, fifty and eighty three, fifty nine in
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: eighty four, fifty seven in eighty five, and fifty in
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: eighty six, eighty seven.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, what an.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Incredible sustained run of quality success and winning. And you know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you just think to yourself, like, yeah, of course, how
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: things could have been different if they weren't, you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: facing certain teams in the playoffs in the eighties, would
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: we have talked about a Bucks championship in the eighties.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: And you also think about the fact that this man
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: won so many games in the NBA. Hardest do that?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: How many?
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: How many high level basketball coaches have come across this league,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: in this world and he's won that many. And I
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: don't know if I would have guessed that before I
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: heard it when he passed second winning his coach that
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: is that is an incredible, incredible accomplishment. And I think
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: more so when you hear about all the players and
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: talking about all the how this guy changed my life
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: and changed the way I play and change the trajectory
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: of my career, that's even a bigger tribute. So, yeah,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: amazing stuff, no doubt. Yeah, pretty cool. Eight seven seven
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: seven nine ninety seven three. We're gonna be doing some
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: buying and selling as we move forward. Hit us with
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: your props.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: If you don't know how it works, all you got
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to do is say, are you buying or selling this?
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Are you buying or selling that?
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The Brewers will be five hundred on this this trip
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to the West Coast.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I'll buy it five hundred, I'll buy it. Yeah, I
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: think they'll they'll end up doing it. They'reer and one
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: to start, one to start, I understand, so you know
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: you have to you have to get a couple. But
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I still think they will. They've always responded well this
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: year to those times.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: It's easy.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: It's easy for us as sports fans to look around
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: the dark corner and peak with the dark door every
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: time you lose a game.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I think the sky is falling.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: But this team's responded well, and I think they will
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: just drop to peek through the dark.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Corner and then the dark door. I don't know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I kind of redundant there, but you know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's always well, I don't know. It is
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: the Ends series against the Dodgers. You'd be happy with
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: a split, right, you would be. You would be, I
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: mean you would, you would. You would sit here and
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: say you are. But the Brewers have gone this year
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: and what they're trying to do, I'm not sure fans
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: will be sitting there happy when they lose two games,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Like I just know that that's how we're gonna react.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: But in totality when you look at a macro level, Yes,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: of course you're gonna be.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Happy with that. On the road, of course that the
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Dodgers haven't played that well. They went last night. The
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Brewers lost last night.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So they have six games left, two in San Diego,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: four against the Dodgers, and I mean three and three
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and that and that run would be spectacular.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, so you think you have to win three, you
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: have to do that, but I think you can.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: For to have a winning record on this trip, they'd
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: have to go four and two, right, they would, Just
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: saying so they have to win the next two against
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the Powdrace for your cock eyed optimistic dream to come true.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Well, should I expect a team thirty above five hundred
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: to lose?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the tough thing. I mean, when you're
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: a baseball fan, when they win a couple, you think
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: you're gonna circumstance, So it can change your entire perspective.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It is circumstance.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: You're you're twelve games into a stretch of seventeen games
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: in seventeen days.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the Dodgers haven't been doing great. No, Dodgers
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: have not been that's not a great sign though, Yeah, yeah,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: because they're due.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I see, you want to play a Dodgers that they
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: beat Kansas City last night.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: They've won two of their last ten.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: So would I rather than be like, I'd rather have
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: them face I'd rather have them win ten in a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: row than lose eight out of ten before I play it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Well, that's just me, that's the way my brain works.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I'm a contrarian. Well, maybe we'll go over the trip.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: The die is cast, they're on their way. You're speaking
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: like you're speaking like me.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: You're truly now come on like eor, like a true
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: your the The Dodgers did win, by the way, but
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: they but the schoople got rouffed up again last night.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: No, I shouldn't say again, he didn't get ruffed up,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: not in his first game. He just lost.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: He lost. It was what you just expect more from him.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I should say. He went five innings and gave up three,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if that's being roughed.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Casey Mas gave up a homer to Yelly, not much else.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: That was it. That was it?
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: All right, it'll be perfect eight seven seven seven. We'll
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: get to the buyer sell props as we move forward.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: No hunter or recap today, but if you missed it,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Burr's got a two run homer from Yelich early and
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: nothing else. Just show about nothing. Well, like I said,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: tip your cap and move on. They got two more
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: in San Diego and four in LA. You're in the huddle.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Packers football is back going.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Apparently Scout Dolphin joins the party at halftime. That'll be
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: about six twenty five. You can join us at eight, seven, seven, seven,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: nineteven three.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Lose on the West Coast three to two. No need
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: to panic yet, but this is a tough week.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Man, difficult, difficult roll through the seven game trip with
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: two of the better teams and ball, the Padres and Dodgers.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And they lost the opener last evening. Again, no shame
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: in the loss, they just didn't hit. Lost three to two.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Cubs were attle last night. If anyone's won to tip
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: your cap Cubs to Cubs did not play so they
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: picked up a half game. So then again, no fretting.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: But it's a daunting task facing the Brewers. But champions
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: fear no one.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: When does the lead get too close for comfort for you?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: In baseball, a division leader, you know, you've had the
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: lead all year, you're playing great. If it gets down
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: to three, is that that the number one?
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, it depends.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: It depends on where you are when they face each other,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: because they're going to face each other seven times in
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: a week or in ten days, right, yes, like four
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: at regular and three here I think.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: And so there's a lot to be said about this
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: division yet obviously, and they're going to play the Nationals.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: You know, what lead? What lead makes you feel comfortable?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Is the other question? I mean, is there one ten games? Maybe?
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I guess like that's the thing, like it's usually got
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Something like that or else. I mean, now, if you.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Told me the Brewers would be seventy four and seventy three,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: where was seventy four and six forty five? Yeah, I
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: would have thought we had a bigger lead by now.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: But the Cubs are playing great too. The Cubs would
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: be leading a lot of divisions.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Three weeks from yesterday, three weeks from last night, the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Brewers go to Wrigley, so that would be August thirty.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: First they begin a four game series at Wrigley of
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: night games.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Then they come home.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Then they go to Cincinnati for three and then they
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: come home and face the Cubs for three.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, division de emphasize this. So there you go in
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the first nine days.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Well, actually if you count to thirty first, so in
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a ten day span, they're going to play the Cubs
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: seven times. And what does history tell you about that?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: What's most likely to happen? Well, likely to go four
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: and three? Yeah, four, right, had head but head to
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: head to you know, it's hard to pick up ground
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: if you're playing.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Seven games, like that's basically a seven game.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Series they're gonna play. If you're in the second and
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you got to win the series, and then you whatever
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: your lead is, you'll maintain it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: It's nice to know if you're in a second though,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: you don't need help, right if you have games I mean,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: that'd be nice to have.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: That cushion, Yeah, because that that's gonna be the Cub's
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: only chance to pick up ground directly. So obviously if
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: either team goes five and two in that stretch, they
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: got the upper hand.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: But you have to keep putting the pressu round.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: If you're a team like that and they don't, they
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: seem to not have as tough as schedule right now,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: the Brewers do.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: They're they're at the Nationals.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I warn about that every time on You've heard me
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: warn about that. Don't worry about strength the schedule and record,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: because it's baseball well and evens out. I mean, I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: understand that. I'm the Dodgers just lost. You know, we
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: have a game out of ten.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: They have the Cardinals and the Nationals and the White
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: size well, the White Sox are playing.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Backs are good, but they're playing. But again, it doesn't matter.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It really doesn't because again I learned that from covering
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: bad Brewers teams. When they beat teams that they didn't
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you know, they won series. Again, it seems like you
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: didn't think they had a chance. Right then you roll
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: up until we should be your roll up. And teams
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: with nothing to lose are dangerous and they're playing and
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: like I said, they get juice from being around the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Pennant race. They get juice from your fans. Perfect example
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: was when Colorado came to town. They gave it Brews
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a pretty good series. It energizes the energized them because
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they were playing in front of the big crowds, right
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, it felt like the playoffs
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: for them because they're going to be in the playoffs,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: they're going to be playing golf or you know, Cancun
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: on three, So that that's like that for them, that's
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: an exciting change of paces to play. When they go home,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: there's a dead atmosphere, no one like, there's nothing. There's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: not a lot of juice played in the home games
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: for them, but when they're on the road there so
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that again, don't read too much into that. The whole
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: strength of schedule thing. Now, these games are definitely tough.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: The Padres and Dodgers is going to be. That's a
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: tough week. You're playing like two of the best teams
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: in baseball measuring stick games. But it's not easy and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it's not easy, especially doing it on the back end
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of seventeen games in a row.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Yo. And if you used all your leverage arms too, Yeah,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: that's the other thing not ideal. That's why our guy
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Lion was pitching last night. I'm placking on this guy.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: But he did, he did all right, But he's just like,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: who's this guy? Well, you've used all your leverage arms,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: that's no question. Jeffrey from Milwaukee. The only reason I'm
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: a five o'clocker and finished.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: The Brewers game last night.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: He's a little humble brag there, Drew is because my
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: softball game till didn't end till freaking ten twenty pm
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Good morning fellas well.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: So you played softball till till ten twenty then went
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: home and then got up this early to be a
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: part of the five o'clock club.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey, you are grinder. I was gonna say, was there
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: a rain delayer or something like that? What softball game?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Is there a nine o'clock start? Isn't the latest softball
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: game start nine pm? He has a good question. I
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's Milwaukee or what I mean. I
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: don't remember playing later than nine.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: However, I guess if you did play nine and you
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: had the last game and it went long, usually it's
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: an hour limit from my softball days. But Drew, maybe
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: they're having to stretch out time frames now for field
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: availability and umpires and all.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: These things and teams. Who knows I played.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I played a bar league volleyball game one, remember the
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: old Horny Goat. Obviously the indoor volleyball, indoor sand volleyball
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: that was, and that was a nice place when it lasted.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we had ten o'clock starts for that one.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: We had a ten o'clock start for volleyball. Just it
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: was just based on court availability. So sometimes it's like
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: that for some leaks. I'm not really sure this besides
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: design for the for the bars to make colt for sure,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: that was a great place. I missed that place.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: It just got bulldozed over and became a office building
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: or something.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Good days, isn't it like condos and stuff something like that.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: It is right there in the river. It was nice.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Armin's memories of Hornygoat Brewery.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: The beer was average, but it was nice to play
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: sand volleyball in the winter. Beer was pretty mediocre, really was.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: But it was a good spot. That was it. It
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: was a great spot. We had a good time there.
• 40:00
