2:38
Speaker 7: that you're with us. And I don't know if you
2:40
Speaker 7: noticed or not, but the sunrise is looking prettier today.
2:44
Speaker 7: Beer tastes, the beer is colder, the women are Prettier's
2:49
Speaker 7: cooler in the good Land because the Brewers swept the
2:54
Speaker 7: Cubs left. Last evening, it was that play the Pete
3:00
Speaker 7: Crow Armstrong play back to back games with errors in
3:03
Speaker 7: center field by the best center fielder in the.
3:06
Speaker 4: Business, explicable ones.
3:08
Speaker 7: He basically called that one laughable, genuinely laughable.
3:13
Speaker 5: Well, then you know what, Drew, I don't feel nearly
3:15
Speaker 5: as bad as laughing my ass off on my couch
3:17
Speaker 5: while I watched that ball skate right by number four
3:20
Speaker 5: out in center field and roll all the way to
3:22
Speaker 5: the wall. And David Hamilton, he said, I was kind
3:25
Speaker 5: of jogging it out of the box, brother, You full
3:28
Speaker 5: stopped over at first base and then picked them up
3:31
Speaker 5: and put him down around the next three bases faster
3:34
Speaker 5: than I think I may have ever seen any human
3:36
Speaker 5: being in base.
3:37
Speaker 7: Do you see His time of circling the bases from
3:40
Speaker 7: home to first was five seconds from first to home
3:43
Speaker 7: was ten seconds?
3:44
Speaker 4: Is unreal? Like the little clay Nation guy that they
3:48
Speaker 4: had trying to run through it. He couldn't even keep up.
3:50
Speaker 4: It was too fast.
3:50
Speaker 2: He couldn't keep up right right, couldn't keep it up crazy,
3:53
Speaker 2: I mean how fast he gets around And you're right, Beli,
3:56
Speaker 2: he wasn't even running non stop. What a performance that
3:59
Speaker 2: wasn't the base and then the triple later, It was
4:01
Speaker 2: just amazing to watch a display like that. And man,
4:05
Speaker 2: it's fun to watch him run, isn't it.
4:07
Speaker 4: That was awesome.
4:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, having speed like that is something else. I noticed
4:11
Speaker 7: it on opening day because I didn't see spring training
4:13
Speaker 7: and I didn't see many of us at bets. And
4:15
Speaker 7: then I saw the guy running from first to home,
4:18
Speaker 7: from home to first unopening day, I'm like, holy cow,
4:20
Speaker 7: I didn't know this guy was this fast.
4:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Drew, I guess.
4:23
Speaker 5: I can't say I was really familiar with David Hamilton's
4:26
Speaker 5: game in New York prior to the deal. All I
4:29
Speaker 5: was familiar with was looking at his Baseball reference page
4:31
Speaker 5: and seemed like a five to sixty ops. I mean, like,
4:34
Speaker 5: I don't know exactly why this is the dude you're
4:36
Speaker 5: hyping up through all the spring training, felt like every
4:39
Speaker 5: chance they could murph mentioned like, yeah, we also got
4:43
Speaker 5: David Hamilton, and my man's gonna be big for us.
4:45
Speaker 5: My man's gonna be big for us. And at some
4:48
Speaker 5: particular point he taught him how to bunt. He took
4:50
Speaker 5: that to heart, and the ops might not be a
4:53
Speaker 5: whole lot different. Yesterday's one's not gonna help him. That's
4:55
Speaker 5: a single in a three base er. The triple will
4:58
Speaker 5: help a lot more. But that kind of speed will
5:00
Speaker 5: always play. And you just saw again it stresses people.
5:05
Speaker 5: And whether or not it was because Pete is really
5:08
Speaker 5: battling it there in center field, maybe he just needs
5:11
Speaker 5: the day off, or because he found himself the one
5:14
Speaker 5: game we got, the David Hamilton game last night in
5:17
Speaker 5: the midst of the playoffs. It feels like we call
5:19
Speaker 5: different games that a lot of things you would think
5:21
Speaker 5: would point to a Kyle Harrison, But they win that
5:23
Speaker 5: game last night because of the speed by that dude
5:26
Speaker 5: over at third base.
5:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was something else, and you got it. You
5:30
Speaker 4: got this notion.
5:31
Speaker 7: While we've all been raving about the Miz, how about
5:34
Speaker 7: a little love for Robin Batman Robbing under the radar
5:38
Speaker 7: how about mister Harrison and the way he dominated, And
5:42
Speaker 7: it begs the question, is there a better one to
5:45
Speaker 7: two starting punch in Major League baseball right now?
5:48
Speaker 8: Yeah?
5:48
Speaker 4: Than Miserski and Harrison.
5:50
Speaker 2: You're talking about two of the best guys in the
5:51
Speaker 2: in the in the National League, maybe in all Major
5:53
Speaker 2: League baseball at the top of the rotation. Both have
5:56
Speaker 2: been spectacular. And I know it's probably happened more recently
6:00
Speaker 2: that I can get. I can't remember the last time
6:02
Speaker 2: either one of them gave up a legit run. I mean,
6:04
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's happened, but it just seems like they haven't.
6:07
Speaker 2: It just seems like they haven't. I don't know. Are
6:09
Speaker 2: both of their era's under two. I want to say yes,
6:13
Speaker 2: but I'm very close. Yeah, just I don't know if
6:14
Speaker 2: Missus ticked up on.
6:15
Speaker 4: Her to Okay.
6:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, So just amazing work by both of those guys.
6:18
Speaker 7: And he has one undo the radar. There's no question Harrison.
6:22
Speaker 7: Harrison's initial foray here his first couple starts with the Brewers. Yeah,
6:27
Speaker 7: he lowered his ERA to one seven seven. Missus got
6:31
Speaker 7: under two in the last Star one to eight nine.
6:34
Speaker 7: The only Brewers pitcher with a lower Era. Through his
6:36
Speaker 7: first nine starts with the franchise, ce Ce sabbathia CC
6:42
Speaker 7: had a nine star to six oh Harrison's at one
6:48
Speaker 7: point seven to seven. That fastball that he was throwing
6:52
Speaker 7: last night is spectacular, and the mix that the slurvi fastball,
6:58
Speaker 7: and oh my goodness.
6:59
Speaker 4: It's I know the names.
7:01
Speaker 5: It only looked like he threw three pitches. That slurve
7:04
Speaker 5: looks like it throw it. He throws it four or
7:06
Speaker 5: five different ways. And I don't fully know how you
7:10
Speaker 5: hit it again. I don't know how you hit any
7:12
Speaker 5: baseball you sit close enough, I don't know how anybody
7:15
Speaker 5: touches it right. So like this comes from a spot
7:17
Speaker 5: of ridiculous reverence to the ability to be able to
7:21
Speaker 5: put bat to ball. But that arm slot in the
7:24
Speaker 5: way that he has mechanically, I guess reverted back to
7:28
Speaker 5: the way they made it sound what is most natural
7:31
Speaker 5: to him, Drew. It sounds like an easy thing. It
7:34
Speaker 5: sounds like something everybody should do. Nobody not everybody does
7:37
Speaker 5: it because there'd always been one way to do it,
7:39
Speaker 5: one way to skin a cat. Brewers have found so
7:42
Speaker 5: much more success allowing you to do what your body
7:45
Speaker 5: does naturally. And last night, and over the last number
7:48
Speaker 5: of weeks you've seen Harrison that swagger of being a
7:51
Speaker 5: top ten prospect. You don't get there without a ridiculous
7:56
Speaker 5: sense of belief. And it doesn't believe like he thinks
7:59
Speaker 5: anybody is gonna touch his fastball when it goes in there,
8:01
Speaker 5: when it's only cruising ninety five ninety six.
8:04
Speaker 4: That's a lot of a lot of optimism to have.
8:06
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you're keeping Bitterer's off balance with the
8:08
Speaker 2: with the off beats, with a breaking stuff, that's the key, right,
8:11
Speaker 2: I mean, oh yeah, those fastballs just look like a
8:13
Speaker 2: million miles an hour and he's at he's location, his
8:17
Speaker 2: his control is fantastic right now, and that's what it is,
8:19
Speaker 2: and you're right play the confidence.
8:21
Speaker 7: It's the same with Miss where the fastball is like
8:24
Speaker 7: eye poppingly good, but if it doesn't have other pitches
8:28
Speaker 7: to support it, then they'll they'll catch up and you'll
8:30
Speaker 7: get you'll get lathered. But with Harrison it's the same
8:33
Speaker 7: thing we say with Miss you have to cheat with
8:35
Speaker 7: that fastball. It might not be one hundred and two,
8:37
Speaker 7: but it's a sneaky ninety seven ninety eight, and you
8:40
Speaker 7: got to cheat and get started and then he throws
8:42
Speaker 7: his head slurve by you, and it's like, you got
8:44
Speaker 7: no chance. Sixty four fastballs he threw, averaging ninety five
8:47
Speaker 7: point five miles per hour, topping out at ninety seven
8:50
Speaker 7: point six. Eight of the eleven strikeouts that he had
8:53
Speaker 7: came with the fastball, so they weren't catching up to that.
8:56
Speaker 7: And what I loved about it is that he got
9:00
Speaker 7: a guy young in his career hasn't pitched a lot
9:03
Speaker 7: at Wrigley Field, like these guys are going to pitch
9:05
Speaker 7: a lot at Wrigley Field during their days with the
9:08
Speaker 7: Brewers big time. And when Wrigley when it's cool like
9:12
Speaker 7: that and the wind is blowing in, it's a different park,
9:14
Speaker 7: and you got to attack guys. You gotta go after guys,
9:17
Speaker 7: you gotta And that's exactly what they did last night.
9:21
Speaker 7: They whether it was you know, the catcher or Chris
9:24
Speaker 7: Hook or just Harrison himself, but they just went right
9:26
Speaker 7: after guys. And that's the key because let him hit it,
9:29
Speaker 7: hit it in the earth, it's going to be an out.
9:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:31
Speaker 7: If you some of the same fly balls last night
9:33
Speaker 7: that were routine outs on a warm night in August,
9:36
Speaker 7: they're gonna be home runs into.
9:38
Speaker 5: The right middle of the bleachers and maybe over the bleachers. Yeah,
9:42
Speaker 5: I thought drew it. You could almost see it on
9:45
Speaker 5: his face. He learned it like all of us did. Well,
9:48
Speaker 5: exactly how bad the wind was going to be in
9:50
Speaker 5: the first inning. Uh, when Mitchell tracks down the fly
9:53
Speaker 5: ball in the warning track was off the bat. I
9:54
Speaker 5: thought that thing was ticketed for the sea, and instead
9:58
Speaker 5: Mitchell is underneath it with room to spare. And Vinnie
10:02
Speaker 5: and Jeff were sublime all series. But I thought Vinnie
10:06
Speaker 5: made a great point calling back to it a couple
10:07
Speaker 5: of times. It felt like that at bat, not only
10:10
Speaker 5: because they erased Horner on a ridiculous throw by Mitchell
10:13
Speaker 5: and a great tag by Hamilton on that play, but
10:16
Speaker 5: it was the awakening moment of wait, even if they
10:20
Speaker 5: do touch one, good luck getting it out on a
10:22
Speaker 5: night Lake tonight. I'm just gonna go right at these
10:25
Speaker 5: cats and they're gonna have to prove that they can
10:27
Speaker 5: make contact three out of four times or whatever it is.
10:30
Speaker 4: And Armin for your answer.
10:31
Speaker 5: The last time he gave up a legit run, you
10:33
Speaker 5: call us a leadoff homer against Paul Goldschmid a legit run.
10:37
Speaker 5: That's there was a there was an infield single that
10:41
Speaker 5: drew a run also in that Yankee start, and then
10:44
Speaker 5: one in six innings in his start at Washington on
10:48
Speaker 5: a base hit that followed a double. That's three earned
10:51
Speaker 5: runs in the month. So combined him and Miss over
10:55
Speaker 5: forty five or forty six plus innings in the month
10:58
Speaker 5: of May have combined to give up three runs.
11:00
Speaker 2: Really crazy. I mean, I don't think they've ever done
11:02
Speaker 2: a picture of the month shared. But they could share
11:04
Speaker 2: it with three basically three guys, Ms Harrison and Paul
11:07
Speaker 2: Skens if they really wanted to, because Skeen's well, actually
11:10
Speaker 2: because Skeens did have a rough outing, right, he was
11:12
Speaker 2: going pretty nasty before them. But maybe you could share
11:14
Speaker 2: it with the just Harrisons. They've both been incredible. They're
11:17
Speaker 2: gonna be racing each other for it. But it was
11:19
Speaker 2: pretty just amazing what he's been doing and what he
11:22
Speaker 2: did again last night. And I don't think you can
11:24
Speaker 2: stress enough what.
11:25
Speaker 4: You just said.
11:25
Speaker 2: Drew did it in that type of environment, right, So
11:28
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, you know, everything's been going great
11:30
Speaker 2: in your American family field starts. We've got some opponents
11:33
Speaker 2: on the road.
11:34
Speaker 4: Maybe home.
11:35
Speaker 2: But now here we go. It's our first time walking
11:37
Speaker 2: into our division rival Wrigley, who had, you know, obviously
11:40
Speaker 2: up until this last two weeks had been the juggernaut
11:42
Speaker 2: of MLB, mostly at least in the NL, dominating. You know,
11:46
Speaker 2: they've been playing really well. It's like this is our
11:48
Speaker 2: big series. We've been chasing them down for first already
11:51
Speaker 2: here in May, and boom we walk in. We sweep
11:53
Speaker 2: them emphatically too. It's a nineteen to five, you know,
11:56
Speaker 2: run differential emphatic sweep, you know, just a reminder of
12:00
Speaker 2: you set that tone, you know, you you shoot that
12:03
Speaker 2: across the bow, saying you might have thought you had
12:05
Speaker 2: a good first in month and a half, but the
12:07
Speaker 2: central still goes through us where the Walkee Brewers. We
12:10
Speaker 2: still had the mental edge on you guys. I think
12:13
Speaker 2: that was just significant to impose your will like that
12:17
Speaker 2: over the week.
12:17
Speaker 6: Here.
12:18
Speaker 7: A lot of interesting things with this series and the way,
12:21
Speaker 7: you know, the Cubs look like a wagon and they're
12:23
Speaker 7: still a good team. They're they're dinged up, they're still
12:26
Speaker 7: a good team. They're not gonna go away.
12:27
Speaker 5: So if you're think, yeah, you're not saying anything on
12:29
Speaker 5: them at one and a half games up in the
12:32
Speaker 5: middle of this, right, you know, they were twenty seven
12:35
Speaker 5: and twelve, and now they've dropped nine of eleven, Yes,
12:37
Speaker 5: crashing back to earth.
12:38
Speaker 7: But that's again, my whole thing is like, get to
12:41
Speaker 7: ten over, give yourself a cushion. You can ride out
12:43
Speaker 7: the rough streaks. Yet here are the Brewers and I
12:46
Speaker 7: was saying, I've said it going into the season. They
12:48
Speaker 7: don't need to go thirty and four during a stretcher,
12:50
Speaker 7: thirty one and four, whatever the hell that run was
12:52
Speaker 7: last year where they were just insane, and we don't
12:54
Speaker 7: need to threaten George web every other week.
12:57
Speaker 4: Right, their margins don't have to be and we're in
13:00
Speaker 4: have to be like that.
13:01
Speaker 7: But now last year, now you look up and see how,
13:05
Speaker 7: you know, how they've closed the gap and what they've
13:07
Speaker 7: done in this last what is it, eleven to thirteen
13:09
Speaker 7: or something like that, some ridiculous like.
13:11
Speaker 4: That nine of eleven, yeah, and sixteen of their last
13:13
Speaker 4: twenty one yeah, and just.
13:15
Speaker 2: Walk the Cubs down until it was just amazing.
13:18
Speaker 5: Well, and you know what, the Cubs still got a
13:19
Speaker 5: lot to be proud of. They're still a very very
13:21
Speaker 5: good baseball team. And hey, nobody other than the Brewers
13:23
Speaker 5: have beaten them at home since April eleventh, So like,
13:26
Speaker 5: especially if they can go out here and get a
13:28
Speaker 5: dub on Friday against the Astros, they can continually say
13:32
Speaker 5: that they were phenomenal and almost unbeatable there, and to
13:36
Speaker 5: give a little bit of a statement.
13:37
Speaker 7: I thought was phenomenal. That's true the Brewers. Everybody's talking
13:41
Speaker 7: about it like, oh, they don't have any power, right.
13:43
Speaker 7: They have the fewest home runs in Major League Baseball.
13:45
Speaker 7: They've hit thirty three bombs as a team, which is
13:48
Speaker 7: not a lot.
13:48
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no.
13:50
Speaker 7: However, the pitching staff has allowed only thirty five bombs,
13:54
Speaker 7: which is also the fewest in baseball. So that's a
13:57
Speaker 7: pretty good balance. If they're not letting the other team
13:59
Speaker 7: hit it out of the yard hard, both important. Then
14:01
Speaker 7: you're only then that we're at an even steven. We're
14:04
Speaker 7: not gonna give up.
14:05
Speaker 5: We're not gonna give up enough so you guys can
14:07
Speaker 5: play our little league game too.
14:08
Speaker 7: The lead in the division for the Brewers is like
14:11
Speaker 7: one and a half, but look at again it secondary
14:14
Speaker 7: number run differential Brewers plus seventy five, Cubs plus twenty eight.
14:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want to go to the judges' scorecard
14:21
Speaker 5: on that decision that that that that run differentials a
14:23
Speaker 5: real real thing. It is, it's it's it's because it
14:27
Speaker 5: just proves of what you're doing on a night in
14:28
Speaker 5: a night out basis right, And and sure there's gonna
14:31
Speaker 5: be oddities that you can poke holes in it up
14:33
Speaker 5: saying you know, well, if you get a thirteen to
14:35
Speaker 5: five runaway that that will help it a little bit. However,
14:38
Speaker 5: you're playing more of those games, you're going to be
14:41
Speaker 5: seen understandably so is one of the better teams because
14:43
Speaker 5: that split is so different. And when you have two
14:46
Speaker 5: guys at the top and and Harrison in particular just
14:49
Speaker 5: continually praising Matt Arnold every single time he watches him
14:53
Speaker 5: run out to the mound, he's just got to be smiling.
14:55
Speaker 5: I wonder if he's texted Craig Breslow sense. I wonder
14:59
Speaker 5: if he's maybe gave I'm a shot of just saying hey,
15:01
Speaker 5: by the way, thanks, thank you again, thank you again
15:04
Speaker 5: for giving the call and desperately needing a new third
15:08
Speaker 5: basement for the next five years to hit one seventy seven.
15:11
Speaker 4: That was meant to do.
15:14
Speaker 7: That, That was mean me Harrison's like, Harrison's going to
15:20
Speaker 7: be overshadowed by Miss because Miss is Miss, which is fine.
15:24
Speaker 7: You know that Harrison alone would be amazing at the
15:26
Speaker 7: top of your rotation, the way he's throwing right now.
15:28
Speaker 7: And I'm just like, what did the Giants and Red
15:32
Speaker 7: Sox not like about the guy? How did they let
15:35
Speaker 7: this guy slip through? I had a lefty that throws
15:36
Speaker 7: ninety seven with a with a breaking ball. That's good,
15:39
Speaker 7: And like, what isn't that young, controllable, left handed elite stuff,
15:45
Speaker 7: Like isn't that what everybody dreams about?
15:47
Speaker 4: Well, you're salivating over? Yeah, what are we What did
15:50
Speaker 4: they not.
15:50
Speaker 7: Like about the guy? Or is it just something in
15:52
Speaker 7: the water in the Brewers Clubhouse and Chris Hoak magic?
15:55
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think I think a little combination
15:57
Speaker 4: of both.
15:57
Speaker 5: Or Drew the Raffie Devers EXPERI situation was just so
16:01
Speaker 5: toxic that anything with his names surrounding it in Boston
16:05
Speaker 5: they just wanted to get rid of. So even the
16:06
Speaker 5: guys they got for him, They're like, let's just get
16:09
Speaker 5: them out of town too, so we don't have to
16:10
Speaker 5: look at anybody that had anything affiliated with rafey Al
16:13
Speaker 5: Devers but when you're one of the top ten prospects
16:16
Speaker 5: in baseball, rarely you get dealt like last year the
16:20
Speaker 5: young man I'm not gonna remember his name that the
16:23
Speaker 5: Padres flipped for Mason Miller. He was like the third
16:26
Speaker 5: ranked prospect and was one of the highest ranked prospects
16:28
Speaker 5: in baseball that had been traded in I don't know, six, seven.
16:31
Speaker 4: Eight years.
16:31
Speaker 5: Dave Gasper gave you official number. He could tell you
16:33
Speaker 5: the exact trade and what the guy's done ever since.
16:35
Speaker 5: But those guys don't really get moved unless it's for high,
16:41
Speaker 5: high caliber guys, and then Drew just to get given
16:44
Speaker 5: up on almost by Boston is rather inexplicable. However, it's
16:49
Speaker 5: how you get regimes fired. Like Kyle Harrison move is
16:53
Speaker 5: one that helps groups get fired. And if it wasn't
16:56
Speaker 5: for the fact that all of the most of the
16:59
Speaker 5: front office in Boston already got gassed a month ago,
17:01
Speaker 5: I think the results from Harrison over the last five
17:04
Speaker 5: verse six starts would probably put that question up in there.
17:06
Speaker 2: And I think it is a good example of what
17:08
Speaker 2: happens when you panic too much. I mean, you know,
17:11
Speaker 2: not sure if this was exactly the case in Boston,
17:14
Speaker 2: or you know, you talk about what happened there. You
17:16
Speaker 2: go back and look at some of Kyle Harrison's numbers.
17:18
Speaker 2: They weren't bad, they weren't spectacular. So is it a
17:21
Speaker 2: matter of you know, in this day and age, this culture,
17:23
Speaker 2: you give up earlier on guys because you want something
17:25
Speaker 2: proven at the major league level to win, to help
17:29
Speaker 2: you win in that moment, to satisfy fans, to satisfy
17:32
Speaker 2: the management, to satisfy your job. And there's a point
17:35
Speaker 2: where you know, there's so much urgency to win now
17:38
Speaker 2: in sports. I feel like that these things can happen.
17:41
Speaker 2: And the Brewers once again took advantage of a guy
17:43
Speaker 2: they saw with stuff, with ability that maybe he hadn't
17:46
Speaker 2: put it together yet on the field as a supernova.
17:49
Speaker 4: I mean he was.
17:50
Speaker 2: His numbers aren't bad at the major league level, but
17:51
Speaker 2: he didn't have much there and they weren't great as
17:54
Speaker 2: Whip was up there last year. So maybe they're like,
17:56
Speaker 2: you know what, this guy hasn't popped the dog. He
18:00
Speaker 2: hasn't bit right away. If the dog bites, it's gonna
18:02
Speaker 2: bite early. He hasn't bit right away. We're just gonna give.
18:05
Speaker 2: We'll get whatever we can form a try and win
18:06
Speaker 2: now because all Boston fans are mad, like this attitude
18:10
Speaker 2: can pervade and like, if you can't stay patient, if
18:12
Speaker 2: you can't set up your foundation to be able to
18:14
Speaker 2: work through you know, rough patches and not have to
18:16
Speaker 2: go grab somebody, you're gonna potentially give away a guy
18:19
Speaker 2: like they did apparently with Harrison. I think it's an
18:22
Speaker 2: interesting study on kind of the psychology of gms and
18:25
Speaker 2: the psychology of sports, and the tendency and the urgency
18:28
Speaker 2: to try and win now, to satisfy fan bases and
18:30
Speaker 2: things like that.
18:31
Speaker 4: We're having the Brewers are.
18:34
Speaker 7: It's it's almost like you get into deja vous where
18:37
Speaker 7: everybody in the baseball wro Hey look at the Brewers
18:39
Speaker 7: surprise and baseball perspectives said they were going to struggle
18:41
Speaker 7: to win seventy nine games, and here they are every year.
18:44
Speaker 7: It's off the division, that's right. And then I saw
18:48
Speaker 7: a quote from Christin Yealich who was speaking to a
18:50
Speaker 7: Chicago columnist, and he said, there's a little extra pride
18:55
Speaker 7: when people don't think you can do it, and people
18:56
Speaker 7: don't think you can do it multiple times, but you
18:58
Speaker 7: can only ride the Oh, they said, we couldn't do
19:01
Speaker 7: it for so long. At the end of the day,
19:03
Speaker 7: the motivation has to be internal. You have to have
19:05
Speaker 7: the right group of guys that care about the right
19:06
Speaker 7: things to go do that. I think that might be
19:08
Speaker 7: the most underrated part of this team. M I wonder
19:11
Speaker 7: how much of.
19:11
Speaker 5: Everything they hear, because that felt like the hot to
19:15
Speaker 5: trot clap back from Murph earlier in the week of Yeah,
19:18
Speaker 5: a lot of people don't even know our guys names anymore. Yeah,
19:20
Speaker 5: may you can't do the aw shucks thing anymore. You
19:23
Speaker 5: guys won the division three straight years. But there is
19:26
Speaker 5: there is an intrinsic motivation all you need, though, and
19:29
Speaker 5: the greats have always looked at I'm not saying anybody
19:31
Speaker 5: here is gonna turn out to be the Michael Jordan
19:33
Speaker 5: of baseball. I think we're seeing that guy in LA
19:35
Speaker 5: and luckily we don't have to face him pitching this weekend.
19:38
Speaker 5: You gotta grab it a little ran, little things to
19:41
Speaker 5: be able to pull insane motivation from. But they've got
19:45
Speaker 5: I think it was either Bryce or Priest last year
19:49
Speaker 5: a similar response to it. You're was like, yeah, nobody
19:51
Speaker 5: respects says people didn't expect a.
19:53
Speaker 4: Lot from us.
19:54
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, we're good baseball players,
19:57
Speaker 5: right there is that little pride of yeah, but at
19:59
Speaker 5: the end of the day, it is between the lines,
20:01
Speaker 5: and we're pretty good once we have to put the
20:03
Speaker 5: uniforms on and go play the game. Jared Carabas, a
20:08
Speaker 5: longtime content creator and big Boston Red Sox guy, tweeted
20:12
Speaker 5: out last night he said, if one more Brewers fan
20:15
Speaker 5: thanks me for Kyle Harrison, I'm gonna lose it.
20:17
Speaker 2: You know.
20:18
Speaker 5: I don't imagine there's a decent amount of those and
20:20
Speaker 5: just a thousand replies of no, but really, thank you.
20:25
Speaker 5: I just want to shake your hand because thank you,
20:27
Speaker 5: because you gave us a gift that I don't think
20:28
Speaker 5: anybody was expecting.
20:29
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you know what the replies are like after that.
20:32
Speaker 2: But you do have to ask the question that I
20:33
Speaker 2: think we've seen now over the last couple of years.
20:35
Speaker 2: Let's say this never happened, the Red Sox kept Kyle Harrison,
20:38
Speaker 2: what do you have done for them?
20:38
Speaker 4: What he's done for us.
20:39
Speaker 2: There's a legitimate question that when they're put through the
20:42
Speaker 2: car wash, as Murphy likes to say in the Milwaukee
20:45
Speaker 2: Brewers organization, the pictures seem to become more than they
20:48
Speaker 2: than they ever thought they could be, or at least
20:50
Speaker 2: are actualized to become the potential of everything people thought
20:54
Speaker 2: they could be in this organization. And you have to wonder,
20:57
Speaker 2: is it because you're with the Brewers and you're going
20:59
Speaker 2: through that confidence and the coaching and the pitching lab
21:02
Speaker 2: and all that, or was it bound to happen somewhere else.
21:05
Speaker 2: It's a great question one I can't really answer. But
21:07
Speaker 2: all I know is picture after Pitcher has exceeded expectations
21:11
Speaker 2: and fulfilled potential in a Milwaukee Brewer's uniform they didn't
21:14
Speaker 2: have somewhere else, and that's impressive.
21:16
Speaker 7: Eight seven seven seven ninety seven three gets you into
21:19
Speaker 7: the Nicolay Law dot com talk and text line. Life
21:21
Speaker 7: is good today. This is a ten percent day being
21:24
Speaker 7: a sports fan. Ninety percent is getting kicked in the
21:27
Speaker 7: n ads ten percent of roll and this is a
21:30
Speaker 7: ten percent day, and we're going to enjoy it to

Speaker 7: the fullest.
21:33

Speaker 7: In fact, we will hear Hunter's recap of the Brewers
21:38
Speaker 7: victory coming up, and we will talk to Hunter live

Speaker 7: beginning at seven thirty. Dolph joins us at six point thirty,
21:44
Speaker 7: get yourself a comfortable chair and an ice, iced or
21:47
Speaker 7: hot beverage of your choice, and let's get after it.
21:50
Speaker 4: Thursday edition of The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
22:03
Speaker 8: Like genuinely laughable.
22:10
Speaker 2: You know.
22:11
Speaker 8: I think one thing, that one thing I can fall
22:15
Speaker 8: back on is that it's never really a lack of focus,
22:24
Speaker 8: but trying too hard and trying to make up for
22:27
Speaker 8: the lack of production that I've you know, given this
22:30
Speaker 8: team and this city, and you know, not acting how
22:37
Speaker 8: I should. And I think anything physically usually starts mental
22:42
Speaker 8: and I think that's just what I'm showing everybody right now.
22:45
Speaker 8: So I just show up and keep pushing.
22:50
Speaker 2: But that can't happen.
22:51
Speaker 4: That kind of stuff, that's that just can't happen. It
22:56
Speaker 4: just can't happen.
22:57
Speaker 7: Let's have a gold star for producer armand sorry and
22:59
Speaker 7: putting the d song back behind PCA.
23:02
Speaker 4: That's Pete Crow Armstrong.
23:05
Speaker 2: Billy heed me because I couldn't remember the laugh song
23:07
Speaker 2: by Drake.
23:07
Speaker 1: This is it.
23:09
Speaker 7: He's having a week Sunday, gets into exchange in exchange
23:12
Speaker 7: with the fan, gets fined.
23:14
Speaker 4: Bruce sweep the Cubs this week.
23:17
Speaker 7: He makes errors and strikes out with a plumb During
23:20
Speaker 7: those games, he was zero for three with two strikeouts.
23:23
Speaker 7: He's hitting one ninety seven in the month of May
23:26
Speaker 7: with sixteen strikeouts in his nineteen games. And he's one
23:29
Speaker 7: of their best players, and he is a good player.
23:31
Speaker 7: He had a horrible week. I find it funny. It's
23:35
Speaker 7: like thinking to myself, Yeah, he's like mister Chicago now.
23:41
Speaker 7: He and Cayleb Williams, who were seeing it like a
23:42
Speaker 7: hockey game.
23:43
Speaker 5: They were going to the Blackhawks game together. I think
23:45
Speaker 5: they were at the Bulls game together.
23:47
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, two guys that Wisconsin sports fan's gonna be
23:50
Speaker 7: rooting against for a while, right.
23:52
Speaker 4: Yes, two public.
23:55
Speaker 2: And realistically, you know, if we're being fair, he was.
23:58
Speaker 2: He started off to having like one of the best
24:00
Speaker 2: defensive seasons ever for a center fielder if you believe
24:03
Speaker 2: like the metrics and things like that, which I like
24:05
Speaker 2: to follow. He's been number one and so many defensive metrics,
24:08
Speaker 2: which kind of makes it even more shocking if he
24:09
Speaker 2: had a week la. Oh yeah, he is always he's elite, Like, yeah,
24:13
Speaker 2: makes it more satisfying, And guys, doesn't it doesn't it
24:16
Speaker 2: bode the question of, like Drew, you talk too many
24:19
Speaker 2: of these guys to know, man, there these are human
24:21
Speaker 2: dudes in there.
24:22
Speaker 5: And I can't think that Sunday thing did not hang
24:24
Speaker 5: with him throughout that I think so, I think he's
24:27
Speaker 5: wearing it a little bit.
24:28
Speaker 7: And uh, I mean the fact that he walked into
24:32
Speaker 7: this year with a six year, one hundred and fifteen
24:34
Speaker 7: million dollar deal that eggs a layer of pressure. You
24:36
Speaker 7: think it lets you relax, but then it's like, oh,
24:38
Speaker 7: I got to play up to the contract and I
24:39
Speaker 7: got it, no doubt.
24:40
Speaker 4: It's hard to put that out of your mind as well.
24:42
Speaker 7: I've seen it worth both work both ways, where players
24:45
Speaker 7: they want that big deal, so they press and they
24:48
Speaker 7: squeeze the handle and they try too hard and they
24:51
Speaker 7: get out of them, you know, out of their rhythm.
24:53
Speaker 2: And as you know, as soon as you get that number,
24:54
Speaker 2: you're heard.
24:55
Speaker 7: Some guys get it and then they try to press
24:57
Speaker 7: to justify it when it's like you just got it,
24:59
Speaker 7: relaxed Now, it's easier said than done. The dude's a
25:02
Speaker 7: star though, I mean, he had thirty one and ninety
25:04
Speaker 7: five last year, that's why. And he plays you know,
25:07
Speaker 7: he plays defense as good as anybody in the game.
25:09
Speaker 4: Right now.
25:10
Speaker 2: The offense might come and go. You know that his career,
25:12
Speaker 2: it's it's not been consistent yet. I mean he had
25:14
Speaker 2: it last year, was he was.
25:16
Speaker 7: It not been consistent yet. And he's twenty four in
25:18
Speaker 7: the defense. Yeah, so to put up the numbers he
25:22
Speaker 7: has at his career, he's going to be a good player.
25:24
Speaker 4: He is a good player. It's interesting.
25:25
Speaker 7: I wondered if Counts would give him yesterday off just
25:27
Speaker 7: to let him, you know, to be sure, you know,
25:29
Speaker 7: let him run the rest. But he says he's not
25:31
Speaker 7: going to get it.
25:32
Speaker 4: There they have.
25:33
Speaker 7: They're off today and then they got Houston coming in,
25:35
Speaker 7: so they'll just chill. But we don't have to worry
25:37
Speaker 7: about the Cubs because we got the Brewers to worry about,
25:39
Speaker 7: and they got the Dodgers and Cardinals coming to town
25:41
Speaker 7: for the home stand. Now we're talking over the Memorial
25:44
Speaker 7: Day weekend and into next week, so you know, they
25:48
Speaker 7: get to enjoy today. They get the Christian Yellwich concert
25:50
Speaker 7: tonight at Landmark Credit Union.
25:51
Speaker 4: Which I love.
25:52
Speaker 7: I love that it's off day, love that it's all
25:55
Speaker 7: going to be hanging having fun. Charlie Barron's is going
25:57
Speaker 7: to see it. You know, they got Jacoen and the
26:01
Speaker 7: guy from the Fray and Nicotine Dolls who.
26:04
Speaker 5: Guy from the Fray a little how to Save a Life?
26:06
Speaker 5: I like that little over my head in there.
26:08
Speaker 7: I like that I could, I would adam Povlocks involved
26:12
Speaker 7: like chefing at the VIP thing, which has happened. So
26:14
Speaker 7: they're gonna eat well over at the trade. Yeah, it's
26:16
Speaker 7: gonna be real nice. Last year at that event, we
26:20
Speaker 7: were hanging out. We were say, you guys were talking
26:23
Speaker 7: to broadcast Broadcast now, Yeah, Yelly came in and hung
26:26
Speaker 7: out with us with our pal Kadie line Google. So
26:29
Speaker 7: given our new shift here, we're not really not really.
26:32
Speaker 7: It doesn't lend itself to attending a lot of parties
26:34
Speaker 7: these days, but hey, we can make exceptions, you know.
26:37
Speaker 7: And by the way, I think there are still tickets available. Yeah,
26:39
Speaker 7: and that's the thing, like we are, we are still available.
26:42
Speaker 7: I think that's the tough part about the hours. Drew
26:45
Speaker 7: and there is a want to There's got to be
26:46
Speaker 7: a will in a way that you got to find
26:49
Speaker 7: to be able to do it.
26:50
Speaker 4: Drew and I will find a way.
26:51
Speaker 5: We will find a way to be able to party
26:54
Speaker 5: it up until ten thirty eleven, o'clock at night and
26:57
Speaker 5: then still come in here. But it's all for you guys. Yeah,
27:00
Speaker 5: all for you listeners. Just so you know the kind
27:02
Speaker 5: of sacrifice we might be putting in. We are we
27:04
Speaker 5: are willing to do it though. We are ready to
27:07
Speaker 5: go the extra mile. If its rudes having to go
27:10
Speaker 5: and go to the VIP spot and try to do
27:12
Speaker 5: all that investigator boarding and listening to some music and drink,
27:15
Speaker 5: I guess.
27:16
Speaker 4: We will do it.
27:16
Speaker 2: It's the public service. Then, I for one commend you.
27:19
Speaker 4: I went. I went to a U.
27:21
Speaker 7: I went to an event the other day, the Summerfest
27:23
Speaker 7: preview party. It was a happy hour event ran from
27:25
Speaker 7: four to six.
27:26
Speaker 4: Hit that damn bet and I had those.
27:28
Speaker 7: I had three people approached me and say, how come
27:31
Speaker 7: you're not in bed yet. I'm like, well, it's getting close.
27:33
Speaker 5: It's getting close, because Drew, I've said it with like
27:37
Speaker 5: becoming a dad, like you gotta you gotta line up
27:40
Speaker 5: a couple of days when the boys ask you to
27:42
Speaker 5: do something.
27:43
Speaker 4: It's a non negotiable.
27:44
Speaker 5: Yes, I know, I'm gonna put take some slack, but
27:47
Speaker 5: you gotta grab one or two of those because otherwise
27:49
Speaker 5: you just stopped getting invited right. We the time shift
27:52
Speaker 5: should not keep this crew from getting the invite. We
27:55
Speaker 5: will have to make some exemptions and we'll have to
27:57
Speaker 5: we'll have to pick and shoes, and the four thirty
28:00
Speaker 5: arts are a lot better than the eight thirty starts.
28:02
Speaker 5: But uh, we want to make sure that we show
28:04
Speaker 5: up just enough so we don't get taken off the
28:06
Speaker 5: invite list.
28:07
Speaker 4: Because you're the eternal for.
28:08
Speaker 7: Sure, you're invited to reach out to us eight seven
28:11
Speaker 7: seven seven nine four one ninety seven three. What's the
28:14
Speaker 7: best thing about the Brewers sweeping the copy the PCA's meltdowns?
28:17
Speaker 4: Was it the Brewers pitching?
28:19
Speaker 6: Was it just?
28:19
Speaker 5: Uh, the way the emptying of the Wrigley Field stands
28:24
Speaker 5: last night? Just take the bus the booze?
28:27
Speaker 2: Was it?
28:27
Speaker 7: Was it the fact that the Brewers were getting up
28:29
Speaker 7: early in games and just like that's the Bruis recipe,
28:32
Speaker 7: get up early, let your pitching do it stuff. You know,
28:34
Speaker 7: score enough scoring this for early runs and getting up early,
28:38
Speaker 7: just like just they just sucked the life out of people.
28:41
Speaker 7: It was us surgical the way they did it. Our
28:44
Speaker 7: boy Sammy would always be huge on tone setting, and
28:47
Speaker 7: I wonder if so. I've always I often thought like
28:51
Speaker 7: some of it was overblown.
28:52
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily know these guys are as living and
28:55
Speaker 5: nine each moment with it and freaking out as to
28:58
Speaker 5: how paranoid you get when you're down two after the
29:01
Speaker 5: first inning. But when it's three straight nights that you're
29:03
Speaker 5: up right away, and when Harrison's able to operate with
29:06
Speaker 5: the lead man, that's a different beast. That part of
29:09
Speaker 5: it was very, very satisfying, the fact that you only
29:14
Speaker 5: do it by hitting a couple of balls off the
29:16
Speaker 5: scoreboard and the one Bryce Terrang Insurance pop on Tuesday Night.
29:22
Speaker 5: The lack of power in the series, I think was
29:24
Speaker 5: my favorite part because it's you making them play your game.
29:28
Speaker 5: You talked about it with the lack of home runs
29:29
Speaker 5: that both sides do. The Brewers know that they're not
29:32
Speaker 5: going to hit a ton of home runs, especially their
29:34
Speaker 5: numbers are gonna be deflated with the kind of the
29:37
Speaker 5: caliber players that they've had out on their offensive, the
29:39
Speaker 5: Yellich's and Vaughns and the Cheerios and such. But they're
29:43
Speaker 5: gonna borrow with Dan Campbell, bring in the deep deep
29:47
Speaker 5: waters man, make you try to swim right out, and
29:50
Speaker 5: it's gonna be interesting to see how teams are able
29:53
Speaker 5: to handle the failure of going up against the Brewers'
29:56
Speaker 5: pitching staff, because I think there's going to be a
29:58
Speaker 5: lot of it, and you're gonna have to grind through
30:00
Speaker 5: at bats, You're gonna have to grind through innings and
30:02
Speaker 5: grind through games. And the Brewers are making teams play
30:05
Speaker 5: their game, which I think is a satisfying feeling. That's
30:08
Speaker 5: the personification of it. I mean, the taking them out
30:11
Speaker 5: to water and drowned.
30:12
Speaker 2: It's a slow, slow depth that Brewers usually give teams
30:15
Speaker 2: and it's glorious and it can be more mentally frustrating
30:17
Speaker 2: than maybe you give up a home run here there.
30:19
Speaker 2: But when the Brewers do what they do and they
30:21
Speaker 2: come at you all the time, and it's like we
30:23
Speaker 2: think we should beat them, but we can't, and it's
30:24
Speaker 2: this annoying pest. And then the next thing you know,
30:27
Speaker 2: they've constricted you slowly like a snake and they put
30:29
Speaker 2: you in the Quicksand that's probably more mentally satisfying, I
30:34
Speaker 2: think than anything else, because you impose your will on
30:36
Speaker 2: a different team and you frustrate them knowing they feel
30:39
Speaker 2: they should beat you or like be able to handle you,
30:41
Speaker 2: and they can't do anything about it. A Dobbler comes
30:43
Speaker 2: in with the first text on the YouTube comments, A
30:46
Speaker 2: bit of a wet blanket here, but we'll read it anyway.
30:48
Speaker 2: Nice win last night. I don't think this type of
30:50
Speaker 2: hitting will translate into wins against the Dodgers, though. Pitching
30:53
Speaker 2: great against the slum being Cubs bats with the wondering emoji. Well,
30:57
Speaker 2: the thing is, you do participate and have a culpability
31:01
Speaker 2: in those slumping Cubs bats in your pitch, right. You
31:04
Speaker 2: can't just say the Cubs bats were slumping, so therefore
31:07
Speaker 2: the pitching was great. Well that that has a lot
31:09
Speaker 2: to do with your pitching as well. Okay, I don't
31:11
Speaker 2: think mis Like got lucky.
31:13
Speaker 4: For Yeah, I don't think Harrison got lucky either.
31:16
Speaker 2: It wasn't like they were just hitting like you know, warning.
31:18
Speaker 4: Track shots all.
31:19
Speaker 7: It's not like they walked to the mound with the
31:21
Speaker 7: Swiss Bank account, you know, eers Like.
31:24
Speaker 2: Come on, I'll admit the Dodgers are tough, but I mean,
31:27
Speaker 2: I think we can enjoy this one a little bit.
31:28
Speaker 2: Ye know.
31:28
Speaker 7: Otani last night homeward on the first pitch of the
31:30
Speaker 7: game and through five scoreless burs won't see him on
31:33
Speaker 7: the mound, which is good.
31:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was good.
31:36
Speaker 6: I did.
31:36
Speaker 5: I did look through the the docket going to a
31:39
Speaker 5: couple of games this weekend, and I had that I
31:42
Speaker 5: had a duality moment where I'm like, I do kind
31:44
Speaker 5: of want to see Otani pitch. I do kind of
31:46
Speaker 5: want to see it happen in person. That might be
31:49
Speaker 5: one that you travel somewhere to go see him pitch,
31:51
Speaker 5: because the way he's rolling right now. We think miss
31:54
Speaker 5: and Harrison about unhittable. Otani is right there as well.
31:57
Speaker 5: You get Yamamoto in game three. But other than that,
32:01
Speaker 5: it's a lot of the threes, fours, and fives from
32:04
Speaker 5: the both rotations, not necessarily the headliners for both sides.
32:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have the score runs against the Dodgers.
32:10
Speaker 4: We saw that.
32:11
Speaker 5: Would you already know what's coming around the pike. That's
32:14
Speaker 5: why you do have to enjoy this ten percenter. These
32:17
Speaker 5: are the ten percenters, as Drew said, to baskin the
32:21
Speaker 5: glow and the glory of that l flag flying again.
32:25
Speaker 5: And they actually took down the flags during yesterday. During
32:28
Speaker 5: Tuesday's game, wind was wild. I know, the wind was
32:30
Speaker 5: wild wild. They pulled all the flags down on Tuesday,
32:34
Speaker 5: because they knew that there was a possibility they're gonna
32:36
Speaker 5: have to flip them Central standings flags and those are
32:39
Speaker 5: gonna fly through hopefully the weekend of that.
32:41
Speaker 4: Is a satisfying part.
32:43
Speaker 7: That would be sweet. Cubs had more errors than hits
32:46
Speaker 7: last night. Oh wow, Holy James Harden who hits three
32:51
Speaker 7: errors in the game. Oh and not for nothing. And
32:54
Speaker 7: we've mentioned that they've been racked with injuries to their
32:57
Speaker 7: starters and some key pitchers. Cabrera walks off the mound
33:01
Speaker 7: with a blister in the fourth end.
33:03
Speaker 4: You know, they made that thing. I was wondering what
33:04
Speaker 4: that was.
33:05
Speaker 2: They made that thing looking sound on Marquee or wherever
33:07
Speaker 2: I was watching. I was watching some coverage of it.
33:09
Speaker 2: Might have been the radio call. They made it seem
33:12
Speaker 2: like it was like, you know, he might have had
33:14
Speaker 2: that Tommy John right there in the dugout like they're all.
33:16
Speaker 4: Looking at him.
33:16
Speaker 2: Something's not right. Everyone's huddling around him. He went out
33:19
Speaker 2: trying to get and turn out the blister, like, Okay,
33:22
Speaker 2: I remember when she's.
33:23
Speaker 4: Had that thing.
33:23
Speaker 2: Every time he pitched, like they would always talk about
33:26
Speaker 2: the blisters popping up again because of the way he
33:28
Speaker 2: was working the seam or whatever.
33:29
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I think he also chewed his nails.
33:32
Speaker 4: That'll have something to do. There was some kind of
33:35
Speaker 4: mitigating factor.
33:37
Speaker 2: You know, it looked like a lot worse at least,
33:39
Speaker 2: is what I mean than with the Yeah, well, I
33:42
Speaker 2: mean luck, yeah, absolutely, because well, for whatever reason, usually
33:46
Speaker 2: with blisters it's a pain tolerance thing and stuff.
33:48
Speaker 4: But like he velocity dipped by like six miles an
33:52
Speaker 4: hour or something. They're like, oh, wow, that's going on.
33:54
Speaker 7: And then he's walking around and obviously on the mound,
33:57
Speaker 7: the guys know what's going on, but the guys when
33:59
Speaker 7: you're watching it, you don't know. So I hope this
34:02
Speaker 7: isn't bad soon. This list doesn't look good, and it didn't.
34:04
Speaker 7: But if it's a blister, put some super glue on it,
34:08
Speaker 7: some new skin, and you'll be good maybe and maybe
34:10
Speaker 7: maybe miss a turn because of a blister.
34:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, my man, My man was tacked leaving the mound.
34:14
Speaker 5: That's when you know he's more mad at the fact
34:17
Speaker 5: that it's a blister than something else, Right, Like when
34:19
Speaker 5: he's when he's taking his glove off, stretching it and
34:22
Speaker 5: slamming it back. That didn't to me.
34:24
Speaker 7: Feel like there was a massive injury. It was I'm
34:27
Speaker 7: really having to lead because of this. I think he
34:29
Speaker 7: was more mad about the way the Brewers scored in
34:31
Speaker 7: the second and third.
34:33
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
34:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a little bit more angering.
34:37
Speaker 5: But Bill and Iron River on the Nicolay Lauda Colm
34:41
Speaker 5: talking text line, good morning fellows, great program as always.
34:44
Speaker 5: Maybe already pointed this out, but I can't help but
34:46
Speaker 5: think Billy Contreras has a lot to do with this
34:49
Speaker 5: young pitching staff success.
34:51
Speaker 4: Tuned in a little bit late, but it's Bill from
34:53
Speaker 4: Iron River.
34:53
Speaker 5: Bill, you're right on time to be delivering that one,
34:56
Speaker 5: because I don't think you're wrong for a dude that
34:58
Speaker 5: when he came to the Brewers in that trade from
35:01
Speaker 5: the Braves, they went and got a different catcher because
35:04
Speaker 5: they didn't know of Bill Contreras's catching acumen, right, They
35:08
Speaker 5: knew that he was gonna be able to hit. He
35:10
Speaker 5: helped them win a World Series with the bat. There
35:12
Speaker 5: was a thought that the receiving and the working with
35:14
Speaker 5: a pitching staff was going to be something that he
35:17
Speaker 5: struggled with. Yeah, he's come here and been one of
35:19
Speaker 5: the best guys every single year in ball because of it.
35:22
Speaker 5: That's some coaching one thousand percent with Charlie Green and
35:25
Speaker 5: his staff. But that's also dedication from his side, saying,
35:29
Speaker 5: somebody doubts that I can do this, watch me. I'll
35:32
Speaker 5: figure out how to take this staff and elevate it.
35:35
Speaker 5: And he absolutely has because he is a mainstay back there.
35:38
Speaker 5: He's just been incredible, beyond words. Absolutely, Billy, let's get
35:41
Speaker 5: a couple more in here if we can. For the
35:42
Speaker 5: Nick lay lot of contact and text line. If you're

35:48
Speaker 2: How about the Hamilton Arman? You asked Derek, and Whitewater
35:50
Speaker 2: said that he did remind me. We had a little
35:52
Speaker 2: debate about him, but Derek, he was awesome last night.

Speaker 3: fifth time ever at regularly Field, in the first time
37:52
Speaker 3: at regular field since twenty twenty one, with a five
37:55
Speaker 3: nothing shutout last night. How about the Brewers starting pitchers
37:59
Speaker 3: in this series throwing to a one point five to
38:02
Speaker 3: three ERA, the relievers allowed just two runs. The Brewers
38:06
Speaker 3: outscored the Cubs in the series nineteen to five. And
38:10
Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison last night he goes seven shutout innings. He
38:14
Speaker 3: by the way, has a one to seven to seven
38:16

Speaker 6: I like that.
39:15
Speaker 5: Generally thursdays with no game are the worst days, right,
39:19
Speaker 5: Usually this day would be the worst. However, if it
39:21
Speaker 5: falls on a Thursday that there's no baseball game and
39:24
Speaker 5: we get a full Milwaukee Baseball tonight in place, that
39:27
Speaker 5: one will play, that'll take and we'll get it be

Speaker 5: able to enjoy and soak and bask in the glory
39:33
Speaker 5: of this sweep a little bit longer eight seven seven
39:35
Speaker 5: seven nine four nine seven three. Nicolay a lot dot
39:37
Speaker 5: com talking text line, ask you what your favorite part
39:39
Speaker 5: of the sweep was six o eight. So the best
39:41
Speaker 5: part of the sweep was crushing the spirits of Chicago.
39:45
Speaker 5: That nineteen to five had a lot of folks feeling
39:48
Speaker 5: like the bree girl or my man m Bone there
39:51
Speaker 5: on YouTube.
39:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, en Bone, for sure. I mean he really shows
39:55
Speaker 2: it out, you know, Breeze, you know whatever. We can
39:57
Speaker 2: have our opinions, but yeah, had them feeling in their
40:00
Speaker 2: fields for sure. I saw a lot of them breaking
40:02
Speaker 2: down on Twitter, like what are we doing? Time the
40:05
Speaker 2: hold once you hear see the a word from Cubs fans, accountability,
40:09
Speaker 2: Time to hold them.
40:10
Speaker 4: We got a hold people accountable.
40:11
Speaker 2: They tagged you in one, Billy, because I know that's
40:13
Speaker 2: your favorite. You know, we got we got a couple
40:15
Speaker 2: of the account bill. Now it's time for this, you know,
40:18
Speaker 2: Cubs team. But I just love seeing that, you know,
40:20
Speaker 2: because let's be honest, this is baseball and as you
40:23
Speaker 2: guys know, well Drew, you've seen it millions that it's
40:26
Speaker 2: a it's a roller coaster ups and downs are gonna
40:28
Speaker 2: happen throughout the year. The Cubs were wagon for a
40:30
Speaker 2: month and a half. They came back down to earth.
40:32
Speaker 2: They'll probably get hot again, that's just the way it goes.
40:34
Speaker 2: But it is fun to ride this crest now as
40:36
Speaker 2: a Brewers fan, well we can.
40:37
Speaker 7: Brewers haven't lost a series since the Pirates took the
40:40
Speaker 7: first two games April twenty fourth and fifth, right, and
40:45
Speaker 7: then the Brewers one that they recovered with a shutout,
40:48
Speaker 7: so they didn't get swept by the Pirates and people
40:50
Speaker 7: weren't feeling good. Then they had an off day. Then
40:52
Speaker 7: they took two out of three from the Diamondbacks, which
40:55
Speaker 7: is you know, Diamondbacks are okay.
40:57
Speaker 4: They're okay. They outfit yeah, two three the Nationals.
41:01
Speaker 7: They split two games with the Cardinals because the middle
41:04
Speaker 7: game got rained out.
41:05
Speaker 4: They probably would have won that.
41:06
Speaker 7: But this recent stretch the teams they've been beating. Yeah, okay,
41:10
Speaker 7: they didn't sweep the Twins. They lost that game oach
41:13
Speaker 7: was winnable on Sunday. It seems like a month ago. Yeah,
41:16
Speaker 7: but they beat the Yankees, the Padres, and the Cubs.
41:19
Speaker 7: Those are big They one series against once the Circle
41:23
Speaker 7: on the count. Well that's gonna be a tough series.
41:24
Speaker 7: Oh that'd be I mean, now they got the Dodgers
41:27
Speaker 7: coming in. Well, as long as they don't get swept,
41:30
Speaker 7: the Burers will keep some momentum, right And if you win,
41:32
Speaker 7: if you win one game against Dodgers, to me, that's
41:35
Speaker 7: that's saying something.
41:36
Speaker 4: If you win two, oh my god, you know.
41:38
Speaker 5: Well and Drew, there's like it doesn't count for one
41:41
Speaker 5: and a half times in the standings yesterday. The last
41:45
Speaker 5: three days count a little bit more because they're the
41:47
Speaker 5: actual head to heads, but it's still only gonna go
41:49
Speaker 5: for one game. I just think in the social capital,
41:52
Speaker 5: like in the fan capital, and and the confidence levels,
41:56
Speaker 5: these games are like one and a half times.
41:58
Speaker 4: When you see the brand of the Yanks, padres are
42:01
Speaker 4: kind of there.
42:02
Speaker 5: Machado always brings a different level of intrigue, even though
42:06
Speaker 5: it something it's just for the fun of the booing.
42:08
Speaker 5: People want to beat that team in San Diego has
42:10
Speaker 5: been good, and I think people recognize that for a while.
42:12
Speaker 5: But Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, that triumvirent right there, those brands
42:18
