0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome in as we huddle up early on this morning,
0:03
Speaker 1: early risers, as Drew likes to say, insomniacs and folks
0:07
Speaker 1: waiting outside the sport club. You had a good night
0:09
Speaker 1: and a good weekend of sports. Now time to fill
0:11
Speaker 1: up and huddle up and discuss all of it with
0:13
Speaker 1: your three best friends on the radio dial that you'll
0:16
Speaker 1: talk to for the next three hours here on Fox
0:19
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin. I'm Bill Schmid alongside my main man,
0:22
Speaker 1: Arman Sari and Dave Gasper joining us here this week
0:26
Speaker 1: as Drew Olsen gallivants around the Caribbean or wherever he
0:29
Speaker 1: ends up vacationing, it's a good time to be able
0:32
Speaker 1: to get away. A lot of folks being able to vacation,
0:34
Speaker 1: and it just means while dad's gone, the kids will play.
0:37
Speaker 1: Arman Sarian into the big room, into the big boy chair.
0:40
Speaker 1: I think you got here at two point thirty this
0:42
Speaker 1: morning because you were so excited, at exuberant to.
0:44
Speaker 2: Get back into the big chair.
0:46
Speaker 3: Excited of course, to being here on this side of
0:48
Speaker 3: the glass. I'm getting used to this side of the
0:50
Speaker 3: glass here and the way the light is different, things
0:53
Speaker 3: like that, but excited to be here, be here with you,
0:55
Speaker 3: and of course Dave Gasper. The old heads remember the
0:58
Speaker 3: original mobs here It is right here, So this is
1:01
Speaker 3: for the old heads, right.
1:02
Speaker 2: Not that old it was last year.
1:04
Speaker 1: However, I do appreciate that it's gonna be have a
1:07
Speaker 1: lot of fun over the next week.
1:08
Speaker 2: As Dave sits in with us.
1:09
Speaker 1: As you go over onto this side, Arman was excited,
1:12
Speaker 1: got himself into a into a chair right away, got
1:14
Speaker 1: himself spread out ready to rock and roll.
1:16
Speaker 2: And I didst are. We gonna say him like.
1:19
Speaker 1: Well you look pretty, you look pretty established over there, brother,
1:22
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not gonna I'm not gonna move you
1:24
Speaker 1: around as you've been a camp out.
1:26
Speaker 2: What are we doing?
1:27
Speaker 1: He was terrified where he was gonna sit and then
1:29
Speaker 1: set up full camp here.
1:31
Speaker 2: But maybe I used to be over here. Well it
1:34
Speaker 2: will be okay, I'd be.
1:35
Speaker 3: It was like kind of old habit, right, and you're right,
1:37
Speaker 3: it was only a year ago, but it's a lot
1:38
Speaker 3: of time in the radio, so it was a little
1:39
Speaker 3: old habit. And I slid back into this side and
1:43
Speaker 3: I realized, you know what, this is where Billy sits
1:45
Speaker 3: when Drew's here. So maybe he wanted to sit here,
1:47
Speaker 3: and then I'm like, you know what, I'll probably just
1:50
Speaker 3: I probably just set up in here and it'll probably
1:52
Speaker 3: be okay. So I think he'd be proud of me,
1:53
Speaker 3: but not worrying about it as much as I might
1:55
Speaker 3: have done. Like three or four years ago. I did
1:58
Speaker 3: check check your linders. I think you were decently worried.
2:02
Speaker 2: I checked.
2:03
Speaker 3: I wanted to check in, and I did check in
2:05
Speaker 3: and make sure that you were good with it. But
2:07
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna be like, I'm not gonna plug it anywhere,
2:10
Speaker 3: or I wasn't going to text you at like four
2:12
Speaker 3: point thirty being like what side you want?
2:14
Speaker 2: Billy? He was sweating, I was, Dave.
2:16
Speaker 3: I wasn't.
2:16
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking there was potentially going to be
2:18
Speaker 1: a text, and I could tell.
2:20
Speaker 2: There was probably a walk back over there, David, where
2:22
Speaker 2: do you think I should go? Where do you think
2:23
Speaker 2: I should go?
2:23
Speaker 3: Well?
2:23
Speaker 2: Where do you where should I go?
2:24
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just wait back here, Maybe I'll go over here,
2:26
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go over here. I don't know, but honestly,
2:27
Speaker 1: this is where it's going to sound. This is where
2:29
Speaker 1: I'm more comfortable. The fun thing is, it doesn't matter
2:32
Speaker 1: where we sit, we saddle we huddle up and get
2:35
Speaker 1: in here is all that matters is that one person
2:38
Speaker 1: sets the huddle that used to be the center. He
2:40
Speaker 1: would find himself about six seven yards away from the football,
2:43
Speaker 1: hands up in the area. Huddle up, and everybody go
2:47
Speaker 1: and form your formation. First day of practice used to be,
2:50
Speaker 1: let's make sure we know where we're standing in the huddle.
2:53
Speaker 1: Huddle where sure that you are in the right position
2:56
Speaker 1: into the huddle. And then you would have certain coaches
2:58
Speaker 1: that would lose their damn minds if somebody was out
3:01
Speaker 1: of place in the huddle. But then by about week four,
3:05
Speaker 1: the players then get mad at the other guy for
3:07
Speaker 1: being outside of their normal spot in the designated huddle.
3:10
Speaker 1: So all that matters is we line up at first,
3:14
Speaker 1: and then we'll be in sync as we move forward
3:16
Speaker 1: throughout the week into a fun time.
3:18
Speaker 2: May the fourth be with you all. Let's go with
3:20
Speaker 2: all of you.
3:22
Speaker 1: As the Brewers weren't able to do their Star Wars
3:25
Speaker 1: night here tonight because.
3:25
Speaker 2: They'll be in Saint Louis.
3:27
Speaker 1: However, man use the force this weekend as they go
3:30
Speaker 1: and grab two of three. I did think they were
3:32
Speaker 1: gonna get full payback, full retribution on the Nationals for
3:36
Speaker 1: that sweep that they had a couple of weeks ago
3:38
Speaker 1: at Amfam. However, Brewers grabbed two of three, couldn't quite
3:42
Speaker 1: get over the hump yesterday, but Logan Henderson made a
3:46
Speaker 1: rival in the nation's capital and was phenomenal Arman and
3:50
Speaker 1: a good week of ball for the crew because they
3:52
Speaker 1: desperately need to keep stringing some road winds together. And
3:56
Speaker 1: I was listening throughout the last couple of days and
3:59
Speaker 1: over the week.
4:01
Speaker 2: I get it.
4:02
Speaker 1: I understand we become accustomed to a certain standard of living,
4:06
Speaker 1: and we do like to call back on last year
4:08
Speaker 1: of where what was the record at this time, What
4:10
Speaker 1: was the record at that time, And yeah, this day
4:12
Speaker 1: they were three games under five hundred. In this day
4:15
Speaker 1: they were they were one game over five hundred, and
4:17
Speaker 1: they went on this kind of run. We always like
4:19
Speaker 1: to compare. However, comparison can be the thief of joy
4:25
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out what could be and where
4:28
Speaker 1: you should be, what you should be doing, can really
4:31
Speaker 1: rob you of a lot of fun. I hear a
4:34
Speaker 1: lot of people talking about this Brewer season as just
4:37
Speaker 1: a dismal.
4:38
Speaker 2: Spot that they're in. I mean, I get it.
4:40
Speaker 1: They did touch five hundred a couple of different times.
4:44
Speaker 1: Eight and to start does help you, and buoiez a
4:47
Speaker 1: lot of it, and that's one of the reasons why
4:49
Speaker 1: you try to get. As we've established on this show,
4:52
Speaker 1: the first goal, the ten game ten wins was Mike
4:56
Speaker 1: McCarthy's old adage. That's where you gotta get to ten
4:59
Speaker 1: games over five hundred is where the huddle is standing
5:02
Speaker 1: as the first line of demarcation, the first benchmark, the
5:04
Speaker 1: first checkpoint for the Brewers in twenty twenty six to
5:07
Speaker 1: get to any good baseball team to get to.
5:09
Speaker 2: They've been close.
5:10
Speaker 1: They haven't gotten there, however, Man, I hear a lot
5:12
Speaker 1: of people talking throughout the last couple of weeks, and
5:15
Speaker 1: you would think this team was five games under five hundred.
5:19
Speaker 1: I led the Chicken Little Radio a lot last year
5:21
Speaker 1: while we were getting torpedo batted in New York and
5:24
Speaker 1: batted around by the Twins and just beat to.
5:28
Speaker 2: Hell by the Cubs in May.
5:31
Speaker 1: They didn't necessarily feel like they had this kind of
5:33
Speaker 1: injuries across the entire team, and I don't remember it
5:36
Speaker 1: being all that bad a year ago.
5:38
Speaker 2: Feels like we're a little bit more.
5:40
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just everybody around their houses have gotten remodeled,
5:43
Speaker 1: and we're more worried about the lot that we're sitting on.
5:46
Speaker 1: But Arman, I don't think the Brewers lot in life
5:48
Speaker 1: is all that bad at this moment where they sit
5:50
Speaker 1: right now. Sure, after dropping yesterday midst all the injuries,
5:54
Speaker 1: getting one of your two reinforcements back, the one that
5:57
Speaker 1: you thought was maybe coming second, ultimately going to go first.
6:01
Speaker 1: We'll get into the Jackson curio thing over the next
6:03
Speaker 1: three hours.
6:04
Speaker 2: But three games over five hundred.
6:05
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like it feels as if the anticipation
6:09
Speaker 1: of the belief is that the team has been a
6:11
Speaker 1: much more of a rocky road, so to speak, so
6:13
Speaker 1: far this year.
6:14
Speaker 3: No, not, and you're I think you're at observations as stute.
6:18
Speaker 2: Billy.
6:19
Speaker 3: I had a similar one around last week. I tweeted
6:22
Speaker 3: about it after the Diamondback series. I said, nobody complains
6:24
Speaker 3: about scoring twenty eight runs in a winning series like
6:27
Speaker 3: Brewers fans. Nobody, Because it was a daily grind of
6:30
Speaker 3: why is this roster move taking place? Why is this
6:34
Speaker 3: lineup move taking place? Yeah, I think that's a fact, Billy.
6:37
Speaker 3: And if you look, you know, comparison last year and
6:39
Speaker 3: you're right comparison to the thief of joy. However, it
6:42
Speaker 3: can offer you some positive encouragement. Now when you look
6:45
Speaker 3: at where the Brewers were last year. If you remember
6:47
Speaker 3: an amazing year last year nine he said, wins the
6:49
Speaker 3: winning streak. Now, you don't expect streaks like that the
6:51
Speaker 3: thirty and four stretch, but they were ahead of last
6:53
Speaker 3: year's pace this time. The last year, they weren't even
6:56
Speaker 3: five hundred yet. So I think it's a couple factors
7:00
Speaker 3: because I've noticed the same thing. I think the first
7:02
Speaker 3: one is we've lived. We've lived really well now for
7:05
Speaker 3: a long time. Is Bruise fans. I mean, obviously, yes,
7:08
Speaker 3: we haven't gotten to a World Series and playoff success
7:10
Speaker 3: to that level, to the ultimate dream has still eluded us.
7:13
Speaker 3: But you know, for the last eight to nine years,
7:17
Speaker 3: brewis fans. It's a full generation of experiencing winning to
7:21
Speaker 3: the likes that we haven't really seen around these parts
7:24
Speaker 3: for that long, I don't think ever. And I think
7:26
Speaker 3: that's a big part of it. I think we're used
7:28
Speaker 3: to living the way we're living. I think we're used
7:31
Speaker 3: to the amenities of which we live, and therefore you
7:33
Speaker 3: tend to get a little bit comfortable, a little bit
7:36
Speaker 3: kind of shall I say, entitled to that winning and
7:39
Speaker 3: say all right, yeah we won again. Bahkam, We're not
7:41
Speaker 3: perfect today. And I think the other factor is the
7:43
Speaker 3: Aedel Central is doing so well that you see your
7:46
Speaker 3: name in lights lower in the division constantly saying, all right, well,
7:50
Speaker 3: we're not doing well right now.
7:51
Speaker 2: Obviously everybody else is ahead of us.
7:53
Speaker 3: You know, the Jones is down the block, aka, the
7:55
Speaker 3: Cubs are doing great, so therefore we've got to do better.
7:58
Speaker 3: And then there's the frustration there and there's this idea, Billy,
8:01
Speaker 3: that you know, with the with Breweris fans, it seems
8:04
Speaker 3: like lately like yes, you can win a game, but
8:06
Speaker 3: what's the worst part of it?
8:07
Speaker 2: Joey Ortiz, Well, let's constantly complain about that. And I
8:11
Speaker 2: get it.
8:11
Speaker 3: You know, you want to make your team better. You
8:13
Speaker 3: want your team to be as perfect as possible. But
8:15
Speaker 3: as we saw Saturday night, Golden Tempo showed us it's
8:19
Speaker 3: not how you start, it's how you finish. It's a
8:20
Speaker 3: long race we run in the baseball season, and the
8:22
Speaker 3: Brewers are well positioned, Billy, you mentioned it. They have
8:25
Speaker 3: a good foundation, They've won some games over five hundred here.
8:28
Speaker 3: They're in good shape here to set up themselves for
8:31
Speaker 3: a good May, hopefully another good month, that's the goal.
8:34
Speaker 3: And to set themselves up with a good contending record
8:37
Speaker 3: as we get closer to the home stretch. That's what
8:39
Speaker 3: the baseball season is all about. But I did notice this, Billy,
8:42
Speaker 3: I have noticed this a little bit. It feels like,
8:45
Speaker 3: you know that, so much negativity around a team that's,
8:49
Speaker 3: I don't know, been doing pretty well. So they got
8:50
Speaker 3: this series. Would have been nice to get this sweep.
8:52
Speaker 3: Couldn't get it done. Didn't play badly though Logan Henderson,
8:55
Speaker 3: I thought it quitted himself very well. Just couldn't get
8:57
Speaker 3: the hits you needed to on a Sunday afternoon.
8:59
Speaker 1: And then if Logan Henderson doesn't slip and bust his
9:03
Speaker 1: crap right at the right at the base of the mound,
9:07
Speaker 1: going and covering first base, what could have been?
9:09
Speaker 2: I mean, my man was sensational yesterday.
9:11
Speaker 1: And now I got hued into a new word, fledging,
9:17
Speaker 1: no good word. A fledging is a young bird who's
9:20
Speaker 1: recently grown feathers and left the nest learning how to fly.
9:23
Speaker 1: When Todd Rosiek said that it was Logan Henderson's second
9:28
Speaker 1: best start of his fledging major league baseball career. I'm like, well,
9:31
Speaker 1: what do we Why are we knocking the young man?
9:32
Speaker 1: I thought he was phenomenal. I thought he was good.
9:34
Speaker 1: It means that he's just figuring it out, just learning
9:37
Speaker 1: to fly. As the great Tom Petty Song once said,
9:39
Speaker 1: he's just trying to figure out exactly what's going to
9:41
Speaker 1: make him him in the major leagues.
9:43
Speaker 2: However, he just might be him.
9:45
Speaker 1: He might be a guy that needs the one stay
9:47
Speaker 1: in the big leagues, not just be here for let's
9:49
Speaker 1: push everybody back at days start, because he was really
9:52
Speaker 1: really good yesterday and desperately needed it with a bullpen
9:55
Speaker 1: that's been taking some.
9:56
Speaker 2: Hits as of late. I think like the performance spot.
10:00
Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned artists, but guy doesn't even have
10:02
Speaker 1: an extra base set. At some point, there does need
10:05
Speaker 1: to be some There does need to be some.
10:07
Speaker 2: Some production production. Yere boy, was he closed yesterday? Though?
10:10
Speaker 2: That won deep to the.
10:11
Speaker 3: Wall and and I wasntra power that would knocked it down.
10:15
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what it was that would knocked it down.
10:18
Speaker 3: This was the guy that had I think double digital
10:20
Speaker 3: homework is a couple of years ago. But you're right,
10:21
Speaker 3: he hasn't had it like you need to produce at
10:23
Speaker 3: some point offensively, especially when there are ostensibly there are
10:28
Speaker 3: options down the line that could be replacing you.
10:31
Speaker 1: Multi you've already paid that already on a payroll that
10:34
Speaker 1: would be somewhat significant. Now, obviously, ruber Pratt's got his
10:38
Speaker 1: own at bad Problems and our boy Dobbler will will
10:40
Speaker 1: fill us in on how his weekend offensively went this
10:43
Speaker 1: weekend on the YouTube chat and you can join there
10:45
Speaker 1: as well whenever you tap in on the YouTube stream,
10:47
Speaker 1: make sure you're hanging out with us throughout the day.
10:49
Speaker 2: But there's there's options there.
10:52
Speaker 1: I think the one part of the season that's been
10:55
Speaker 1: difficult to fully embrace is the wrong way of putting it,
10:59
Speaker 1: but just fully analyzed the fact that they've just been
11:02
Speaker 1: so dinged up. Now today they get a little bit
11:04
Speaker 1: of a prieve some good news as Andrew Vaughan is
11:07
Speaker 1: expected to rejoin the team coming up later on today.
11:10
Speaker 1: But this better not be the snake bit year for
11:14
Speaker 1: Jackson Surio like the snake Dave was that twenty sixteen
11:17
Speaker 1: that started out with the scorpion bite for the Brewers
11:21
Speaker 1: down in Arizona. It might it was twenty fifteen or
11:24
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and it ended up just being an absolute
11:27
Speaker 1: snake bit year. They lost significant injuries throughout the entire year.
11:31
Speaker 3: Thirteen was when Doug Melvin got the same Doun got
11:34
Speaker 3: bit thirteen. Scorpion bite thirteen. Yes, the scorpion bite of
11:37
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen, or is on a bark scorpion, by the way,
11:39
Speaker 3: in case you were curious about the specific genome of.
11:43
Speaker 2: This totally species really, yeah, totally so.
11:47
Speaker 1: And so that starts out the year in spring training
11:50
Speaker 1: of your general manager getting bit by a.
11:54
Speaker 2: That was where that was where it was on a
11:55
Speaker 2: bark scorpion.
11:56
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's where you're fitting exactly as that happened.
12:01
Speaker 2: We're fitting it in. We're listen.
12:03
Speaker 1: If he was in a different share I would have
12:04
Speaker 1: been on the right time. But as you're learning throughout
12:07
Speaker 1: the year or the years it is gonna go wrong.
12:12
Speaker 1: You're gonna find different guys that have positive years. Some
12:14
Speaker 1: guys that are able to find the best years of
12:17
Speaker 1: their career. Mentioned the guy last second ago, Andrew vaugh.
12:20
Speaker 2: And they're getting back.
12:21
Speaker 1: He definitely had the best year of his career, maybe
12:23
Speaker 1: a career saving year last season when he gets brought
12:26
Speaker 1: over Jackson, Surio might just have to go through.
12:28
Speaker 2: It this year.
12:29
Speaker 1: I hope this is not the case, but as he
12:32
Speaker 1: ultimately X rays were negative. As Jackson was getting himself
12:36
Speaker 1: ready to return into the rehab assignment, expected to rejoin
12:39
Speaker 1: the team coming up Today's they open up the three
12:41
Speaker 1: game series and then files.
12:43
Speaker 2: The ball off his foot and has to go get
12:45
Speaker 2: X ray.
12:45
Speaker 3: Unbelievable, right, but those things are gonna UNFORLD Listen, bed break,
12:49
Speaker 3: tough break, hopefully not literally, but filling the ball off
12:52
Speaker 3: your foot, getting dinged up.
12:54
Speaker 2: It's part of the baseball season. So Billy, this is the.
12:56
Speaker 3: Arman positive mind. Try to manifest this thing. Then you
12:59
Speaker 3: know what, stuff out of the way. Now, get him
13:01
Speaker 3: going through the summer, and then get him hot for
13:04
Speaker 3: the fall.
13:05
Speaker 2: Right, this is the way I think about it.
13:07
Speaker 3: But the Brewers could use a little bit of good
13:09
Speaker 3: luck in the injury news. Now, I will say this
13:12
Speaker 3: when you talk about injury luck, and obviously we know
13:14
Speaker 3: what's going on with woodruff. We're not really sure exactly
13:16
Speaker 3: what it is, but maybe a dead arm. I'm going
13:18
Speaker 3: to try and work through it. Had the scare with
13:20
Speaker 3: Miz that's why you have organizational depth, right, Dave always
13:24
Speaker 3: speaks to it. That's why you have a logan Henderson right, available,
13:27
Speaker 3: ready to go, guy you believe in. And so it
13:30
Speaker 3: kind of harkens back this art situation as well. You
13:32
Speaker 3: have options there below. But yeah, it would be nice
13:35
Speaker 3: to get a little bit healthier here. But listen, being
13:38
Speaker 3: injured and working through injuries is an issue a lot
13:41
Speaker 3: of teams have. We tend to let our you know,
13:43
Speaker 3: we're the main character in our own worlds, right, so
13:45
Speaker 3: we focus on the Brewis injuries.
13:46
Speaker 2: But this isn't something that's alluded them in the last
13:49
Speaker 2: few years.
13:49
Speaker 3: I mean, they've had injury bugs last year, Billy, it
13:52
Speaker 3: was a lot of the pitchers early on. You know,
13:54
Speaker 3: you had the Elvem and the Chipmunks Rodriguez experiment. So
13:58
Speaker 3: that's just what the Brewers have had to go through.
14:00
Speaker 3: And if we can acquit ourselves well and get this
14:02
Speaker 3: record and not say the Mets record, of the Phillies
14:05
Speaker 3: record or one of those teams, I think we're hanging
14:07
Speaker 3: in there pretty well. Just try to tread water or
14:09
Speaker 3: a little bit better if we can.
14:10
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's the thing, Like it does feel you're
14:12
Speaker 1: a little bit better than treading water.
14:14
Speaker 2: Right, your three games over five hundred could be a
14:16
Speaker 2: lot worse.
14:16
Speaker 1: Now, granted for those that will tap themselves into the standings.
14:20
Speaker 1: Now that we've reached may you are a game and
14:22
Speaker 1: a half out of the wild card. However you get,
14:24
Speaker 1: you get to face all of those teams, you get
14:26
Speaker 1: the Reds, and you get the Cardinals coming up here today,
14:28
Speaker 1: who have been a little bit upstart. I think a
14:30
Speaker 1: lot of even Cardinal fans are maybe pleasantly surprised how
14:33
Speaker 1: good they've been over the first month plus. But just
14:35
Speaker 1: I'm the video of Jackson Curio hobbling around, jumping around
14:40
Speaker 1: out of the batter's box in a Nashville Sounds game
14:42
Speaker 1: is just nothing I needed to see, was welcome Sounds
14:45
Speaker 1: Like I also didn't need to see Jacob Mazerowski in
14:48
Speaker 1: the midst of a.
14:50
Speaker 2: Five and a third of no hit baseball masterpiece.
14:54
Speaker 1: My man's still figuring out as the long Giraffe, exactly
14:58
Speaker 1: landing and moving them.
14:59
Speaker 2: All, Like, do you really think you were talking luck?
15:02
Speaker 2: I'm the injury. Luck that could have been far worse,
15:04
Speaker 2: could have been worse.
15:05
Speaker 1: So look, if I am going to take a drink
15:07
Speaker 1: out of that positivity.
15:08
Speaker 2: Glass, Yes, could have been a lot worse, looked a
15:11
Speaker 2: lot worse.
15:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, was I the only one that immediately saw that
15:14
Speaker 1: and said, oh my god? Back to back days, David
15:19
Speaker 1: almost looked like he was going to be a sixty day.
15:21
Speaker 1: I l when he starts limping around and looking back
15:24
Speaker 1: and trying to flex out the knee, I thought it
15:26
Speaker 1: was gonna be some serious issues rolling through. However, it
15:29
Speaker 1: looks like him and wood he avoided major disaster.
15:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it looks like.
15:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you called him for the trainer immediately, that's
15:36
Speaker 4: generally never a great sign. But yeah, he's avoiding anything major.
15:42
Speaker 4: He told Todd Rosiack. I think it was He's like,
15:44
Speaker 4: I'm fine, don't come over and talk to me.
15:46
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to talk about it,
15:47
Speaker 2: but I'm fine.
15:49
Speaker 4: Woodriff surprisingly, I mean when Woodriff all of a sudden
15:52
Speaker 4: he's throwing eighty four miles an hour with his fast pall, I'm.
15:55
Speaker 2: Like, oh god, it's over.
15:57
Speaker 3: You think like that that was your first thought, Like
15:59
Speaker 3: it's never gonna come back, Like this is the end,
16:02
Speaker 3: this is chet Steedman's like.
16:04
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, go from ninety two again. I
16:07
Speaker 4: mean it's like like there is something wrong, He's gonna
16:09
Speaker 4: be out for months, something serious there, but somehow he
16:15
Speaker 4: ends up being fine at least for now. We'll we'll
16:17
Speaker 4: see ultimately how long they take for for him to
16:20
Speaker 4: get back. But yeah, it was just it was one
16:22
Speaker 4: thing after another, because yeah, Thursday you had Woody, Friday
16:25
Speaker 4: you had Miserowski. Saturday, Chario fouls went off his foot,
16:30
Speaker 4: Sunday terrain gets scratched with a sit with an illness.
16:33
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, and Logan Henderson almost chase Anderson's himself
16:37
Speaker 4: and smacks his face onto the ground.
16:38
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, like he is.
16:40
Speaker 1: He's in the midst of another sensational start, beautiful turn,
16:45
Speaker 1: and my man was so embarrassed this he walks back
16:47
Speaker 1: to that mind, he's like.
16:48
Speaker 2: Looking at his arm.
16:49
Speaker 5: It's kind of like I don't know, like what happened,
16:52
Speaker 5: but all my friends, that good buddy, like what's in
16:57
Speaker 5: the water is like every time we have a good start,
17:00
Speaker 5: it's not even like the pitcher can't get to the
17:02
Speaker 5: start with like, no, you can't get to the start
17:03
Speaker 5: healthy without have any injury scare Like that was like
17:06
Speaker 5: a thing going for the Brewers.
17:07
Speaker 2: I don't know.
17:08
Speaker 3: And the Woodrow situation was scary because I was thinking
17:11
Speaker 3: to myself, obviously it could be a health issue, but
17:13
Speaker 3: that they waited to see because velocity have the uptick
17:16
Speaker 3: after the first inning, and I was like just thinking, like,
17:19
Speaker 3: is it a situation where if they can't diagnose, it's
17:21
Speaker 3: that whole I was thinking.
17:22
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year chet Steadman, he.
17:24
Speaker 3: Had that tough conversation with Henry like, one day, your
17:26
Speaker 3: gift's gonna be gone. Man, one day your gift's gonna
17:29
Speaker 3: be gone. I just can't throw hard anymore.
17:30
Speaker 2: I don't know. So you know, you just you have to.
17:33
Speaker 3: It's about your hat to right. I know that was
17:35
Speaker 3: just one of the best. It's never a good thing.
17:36
Speaker 3: When I think he's already had that conversation, I think
17:40
Speaker 3: I think.
17:41
Speaker 1: I think I was gonna say, if anybody would be
17:44
Speaker 1: chet stepping, I think what he did when he used
17:46
Speaker 1: to be touching ninety eight, ninety nine and now he's
17:48
Speaker 1: tapping the corners around ninety's.
17:49
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
17:50
Speaker 3: He's actually on the sequel Rookie of the Year because
17:52
Speaker 3: he's actually overcome that and found his new rolls a bit.
17:54
Speaker 2: Like his new way to make that and you're just
17:56
Speaker 2: the only one that saw no.
17:58
Speaker 4: I wish, I wish and Gardner as a forty year
18:01
Speaker 4: old and yeah, playing beer League softball.
18:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to bring the step dad back. What was
18:06
Speaker 3: old boy's name? I forget when when his mom punched him.
18:09
Speaker 2: In the face.
18:09
Speaker 3: I owe you one of the great scenes of all
18:12
Speaker 3: time is my client, he's my son.
18:14
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean you you say to yourself,
18:17
Speaker 2: all right, is this just bad injury? Lucker? Is this
18:19
Speaker 2: something all teams go through?
18:20
Speaker 3: But you, just like you said and we talked about Billy,
18:22
Speaker 3: you just try and tread water. I mean, you're in
18:24
Speaker 3: that situation where like, if I don't have to see
18:26
Speaker 3: brat Epstein again, walk out with Pat Murphy, I'll be happy.
18:29
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better if they could go through
18:31
Speaker 1: an entire nine innings today and not have to have
18:33
Speaker 1: the trainers come out.
18:34
Speaker 2: All you can do is try and set so far
18:36
Speaker 2: to climb. But that would be that. It's just it's
18:38
Speaker 2: a it's a start. It's a start, and you can
18:40
Speaker 2: go out and win a series and go and have
18:42
Speaker 2: yourself a winning road trip.
18:43
Speaker 1: You can go and take out the Saint Louis Cardinals,
18:45
Speaker 1: who had themselves some fun over the weekend. Yeah, they're
18:47
Speaker 1: plunking Otani, they hit. They beat the Dodgers a couple
18:50
Speaker 1: of times. So the Cardinals are an interesting club. They
18:53
Speaker 1: have been uh warm ass over the last couple of years,
18:57
Speaker 1: and I've been a big fan of it. I have
18:59
Speaker 1: really really enjoyed the fact that the Cardinals had a
19:03
Speaker 1: point in time where they continually, day in and day out,
19:07
Speaker 1: we're setting new lows for attendance. The great Saint Louis
19:10
Speaker 1: baseball fans have a team that they can enjoy and
19:12
Speaker 1: now hopefully tonight we can enjoy ourselves for the next
19:15
Speaker 1: three days and the Brewers can go take two of three.

20:23
Speaker 3: different I love spirit and actually would would advocate for it.
20:28
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was as bad as people may
20:30
Speaker 3: not be now. I also never witnessed the fight. I
20:32
Speaker 3: also never witnessed a brawl. Maybe I didn't Maybe I
20:35
Speaker 3: got maybe I got robbed. Maybe I didn't get the
20:37
Speaker 3: full spirit experience. I just got it from my destination.
20:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, cleanly.
20:41
Speaker 1: And now since they are out of the sky, we

Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you so much. Done good.
20:49
Speaker 3: Not one plane crash, never never fatality. I mean again,
20:52
Speaker 3: like you can, you can set a bar very low.
20:55
Speaker 2: Spirit. Never had a plane crash. I had a lot
20:57
Speaker 2: of that's an important bar.
20:58
Speaker 1: They had a lot of things go on, A lot
21:01
Speaker 1: of stuff go on.
21:02
Speaker 2: They did. However, they made you, They got you to
21:04
Speaker 2: it from.
21:05
Speaker 1: There might have been a lot of extracurriculars, and it
21:07
Speaker 1: might have enc you might have endured a number of
21:11
Speaker 1: different delays. You might have encountered a very very strange
21:14
Speaker 1: check bag situation or a mean ticket agent. However, twenty
21:19
Speaker 1: three years of operations ended this weekend.
21:22
Speaker 2: I think it was at you Moore, Actually was it
21:24
Speaker 2: twenty three? I thought it was. I heard a different number.
21:26
Speaker 4: I thought it was like I thought they started in
21:28
Speaker 4: the eighties until thirty something.
21:30
Speaker 3: Listen, a spotless safety record. And I don't know, Billy, Yeah,
21:33
Speaker 3: to your point, you might have seen something you might
21:35
Speaker 3: get for entertainment on the flight. I mean that was
21:37
Speaker 3: part of it, you know, And listen, I'll be quite
21:39
Speaker 3: honest with you. If I'm paying for a plane ticket
21:41
Speaker 3: one way and it's less than forty dollars, I'm.
21:43
Speaker 2: Getting what I expect. I mean, I'm getting what I
21:45
Speaker 2: paid for. And what is that? Is a ride? I'm
21:48
Speaker 2: getting a ride? You know, I might not.
21:50
Speaker 3: It might not be the Uber Excel. It might be
21:52
Speaker 3: the Uber share or whatever it is. You know, that's
21:55
Speaker 3: what it is. And uh so, thank you spirit.
21:57
Speaker 2: Have you ever hit this tab on the Uber ride?
21:59
Speaker 2: And be honest, what's that?
22:01
Speaker 1: Have you ever done the Uber share where they go
22:03
Speaker 1: and pick somebody up else up on your way to
22:05
Speaker 1: the destination.
22:07
Speaker 2: I did the.
22:07
Speaker 3: Uber Weight, but I don't think I did a share
22:10
Speaker 3: the only time I know, I never actually did it
22:12
Speaker 3: with somebody I didn't know.
22:13
Speaker 2: That's too that's a that's a bridge too far even
22:16
Speaker 2: for me this day. That's that's a brit Like if.
22:19
Speaker 1: We'd strapped this up to the the nobs Liide detector test,
22:23
Speaker 1: I think that thing was going up and down the
22:25
Speaker 1: sonograph right.
22:27
Speaker 3: In my younger days, though, pre ride share, I split
22:30
Speaker 3: cabs though with people I really didn't know if I
22:32
Speaker 3: would find somebody at the hotel or wherever I was
22:34
Speaker 3: gonna go, that was going to the airport.
22:36
Speaker 2: That would split a cab. That was the thing back
22:38
Speaker 2: then you could not.
22:39
Speaker 3: I'm like, I can knock twenty dollars or whatever half
22:42
Speaker 3: off my ride if I find someone that I don't
22:44
Speaker 3: really know, just hanging around, like, hey, you guys going
22:46
Speaker 3: to the airport. You guys want to split a cab
22:48
Speaker 3: that I've done.
22:49
Speaker 2: That awkwardly people in the lobby.
22:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least have a face to face with them
22:53
Speaker 3: at that point. If I'm doing the uber share, I
22:56
Speaker 3: don't get to see this unidentified you know, miscreant. You know,
22:59
Speaker 3: I don't know type of person is going to be
23:01
Speaker 3: coming up on. But if I can at least see
23:02
Speaker 3: that person face to face and make my value.
23:05
Speaker 2: That's a bridge too far.
23:06
Speaker 1: I'll get in some random cats car that I have
23:09
Speaker 1: no clue of who they are.
23:11
Speaker 2: But don't let anybody else into this. That's right.
23:13
Speaker 1: This is gonna be my own situation and one stranger
23:16
Speaker 1: that I'm ready and I'm feeling confident enough to meet
23:18
Speaker 1: in this.
23:19
Speaker 2: And so I love that. I'm glad you brought it up.
23:21
Speaker 3: We'll get to game balls and kick to the balls

23:31
Speaker 3: the regular stuff, all right, MIKEE Honggrin used to say,
23:33
Speaker 3: so we're gonna have that, but yeah, pull one out
23:35
Speaker 3: for my my lovely Spirit Airlines, the Taxi and the
23:39
Speaker 3: sky Man.
23:39
Speaker 2: I really love them. Spotless, spotless safety.
23:44
Speaker 3: Record, and Billy did they did pretty good getting you
23:46
Speaker 3: tu and from your destination on time.
23:48
Speaker 2: I always, you know, memes aside.
23:50
Speaker 3: I always thought that they got a bad rap, but
23:52
Speaker 3: clearly not a business model that worked in the end.
23:54
Speaker 3: It just didn't, okay, when I was getting when I
23:56
Speaker 3: was getting flights for thirty seven bucks one way, at
23:59
Speaker 3: some point, yea.
24:00
Speaker 2: At some point we were taking advantage of That's just
24:02
Speaker 2: the way it is.
24:03
Speaker 3: And yeah, I wasn't gonna upgrade to check bags and
24:05
Speaker 3: stuff like that. My buddy's like, well, you didn't help them,
24:07
Speaker 3: marmn Like you didn't help them stay in business.
24:10
Speaker 2: You never bought the upgrade seats, you never paid for
24:12
Speaker 2: a chick. Well, well, definitely never got the credit card.
24:14
Speaker 2: That's the that's the whole point of Spirit. A friend
24:16
Speaker 2: that has a Spirit Airlines credit card, did is it
24:19
Speaker 2: still work?
24:19
Speaker 1: I wondered, No, Yeah, should give him a call today. Okay,
24:23
Speaker 1: I'll give him a call today and see if his
24:25
Speaker 1: see if the Spirit Airlines card would still work.
24:27
Speaker 6: I would have shown the Well yeah no, because I
24:32
Speaker 6: mean I was before with while I was doing all
24:36
Speaker 6: my exhaustive show prep uh uh in the Oval office,
24:41
Speaker 6: I was.
24:42
Speaker 2: Watching this one video.
24:44
Speaker 1: Uh key influencer was going through enjoy my Spirit flight
24:49
Speaker 1: home from Orlando to Columbus, Ohio. Well that didn't happen
24:53
Speaker 1: because they got shut down right as she was about
24:55
Speaker 1: to board. So I was wondering how many different people
24:58
Speaker 1: that actually happened to throughout like one last good fu
25:02
Speaker 1: on the way out. Hey, by the way, we are
25:05
Speaker 1: going to cease operations. And much like you know, sometimes
25:09
Speaker 1: there'll be the story of the world that we live
25:12
Speaker 1: in here in sports and the toy issle, somebody will
25:15
Speaker 1: get traded and inevitably find out because they didn't answer
25:19
Speaker 1: their phone when their agent was calling them, or the
25:20
Speaker 1: GM was trying to call them, or maybe they didn't
25:22
Speaker 1: get it in time. Somebody leaked it out to their
25:25
Speaker 1: insider friend. They may have gone to sit down o
25:28
Speaker 1: with all of a sudden it hits on the scroll
25:30
Speaker 1: of you know, insert player x here has been traded
25:33
Speaker 1: to the New England Patriots.
25:36
Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll learn about it that way.
25:38
Speaker 1: Seemed like all the gate check folks were learning that
25:40
Speaker 1: Spirit had shut down by everybody walking up to him saying, hey,
25:43
Speaker 1: my flight just got canceled, and looks like you got
25:46
Speaker 1: shut down.
25:46
Speaker 2: You guys don't have a job rebook my flight? Why
25:48
Speaker 2: are you not helping me? See, that's the tough thing.
25:51
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm not.
25:54
Speaker 1: I was wondering also if the Spirit gate check person
25:57
Speaker 1: would just say, hey, man, I appreciate that you're upset.
26:00
Speaker 2: I just lost my jet.
26:02
Speaker 1: I lost my job by somebody walking up to me
26:05
Speaker 1: with a damn near QR code saying scan here for
26:09
Speaker 1: a new flight on Southwest because Spirit Airlines just left
26:13
Speaker 1: you stranded.
26:14
Speaker 2: I felt bad for the folks that were working there.
26:16
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they're like, wait, are we now
26:18
Speaker 1: a Spirit Halloween and a little early in the year
26:21
Speaker 1: to be changing the Yellow airplanes into Spirit air Halloween shops.
26:27
Speaker 2: But maybe that's what we're doing now, and.
26:29
Speaker 3: That's a tough situation and at risk of like trying
26:31
Speaker 3: to totally comparaive like we've been in some weird situations
26:34
Speaker 3: the radio, but very strange. I will say this, like
26:36
Speaker 3: if you're a passenger, right, And we've heard this a
26:39
Speaker 3: lot billy recently, I mean always, but more recently, I'd
26:43
Speaker 3: say it's the new thing that people complaining about their
26:44
Speaker 3: air travel situations.
26:47
Speaker 2: On the internet. Big business, right, big business right. So
26:49
Speaker 2: we've heard this a lot.
26:50
Speaker 1: When from complaining and telling everybody about all your health issues. Yeah,
26:54
Speaker 1: when somebody goes I went to the doctor today. Yeah,
26:56
Speaker 1: but listen, I was at the doctor last week and
26:58
Speaker 1: I got some way worse. Now it's I got an
27:02
Speaker 1: airplane story for you. I got a travel story a
27:04
Speaker 1: bitch about for you.
27:04
Speaker 3: And I felt like about a month ago, we were
27:06
Speaker 3: on a generational run of like really like famous well
27:10
Speaker 3: known people, a lot of followers, celebrities, pseudo celebrities trying
27:14
Speaker 3: to get sympathy on the Internet by complaining about their
27:16
Speaker 3: travel situation to Twitter and the Internet to try and
27:19
Speaker 3: get public outcry.
27:20
Speaker 2: Like we were on a generational run of that.
27:21
Speaker 3: It felt like every day I was opening the app,
27:23
Speaker 3: it was like get rich, So thanks United or whatever
27:27
Speaker 3: for canceling, like trying to get like the people to
27:29
Speaker 3: support like your own inconvenience, Like you really thought people
27:32
Speaker 3: were gonna care about you being inconvenience. So I would
27:35
Speaker 3: say this in that in that vein, like if your
27:39
Speaker 3: plane was the later canceled. In any situation, this is
27:43
Speaker 3: probably the best excuse, like like because you know how
27:46
Speaker 3: we are, like when we're traveling, it gets the lane
27:48
Speaker 3: gets canceled. We want a reason why. We want to
27:50
Speaker 3: know what you're gonna do for us. We want restitution.
27:53
Speaker 3: Angry at the gate counter, it's like, what's going on?
27:56
Speaker 3: Why is it canceled?
27:56
Speaker 2: Well, the whole.
27:57
Speaker 3: Airline just ceased operations. That's it's like the best case scenario.
28:01
Speaker 3: Like you know what, that is the best excuse.
28:03
Speaker 2: You're now out of business. You just don't exist anymore.
28:06
Speaker 2: That's the best excuse you can give me.
28:07
Speaker 3: Sorry, sir, this is a Wendy's I mean, like, as
28:09
Speaker 3: much as it sucks for me, I have no rebuttal
28:11
Speaker 3: toy right now.
28:12
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, well, I guess that's an easy
28:14
Speaker 2: way to explain it.
28:15
Speaker 3: Like we just are operate we're not operating service anymore
28:18
Speaker 3: to anyone ever. So I'm like, all right, you know what,
28:21
Speaker 3: I guess that flight cancelation made a lot of sense
28:24
Speaker 3: to me. Now I'm gonna go about my life, you know,
28:27
Speaker 3: like it's like it makes sense.
28:29
Speaker 2: So another one bites the.
28:31
Speaker 3: Dust man right there. So I'm finding Allegiant flight somewhere.
28:34
Speaker 1: I guess which corporate uh, corporate business or just business
28:37
Speaker 1: in general closing its doors.
28:39
Speaker 2: Has hurt you the most. Man, that's a tough one.
28:42
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that Spirit.
28:43
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody in the Milwaukee area that
28:45
Speaker 1: would even say Spirit in the airline industry would.
28:49
Speaker 2: Be the worst one. You know who that is. We
28:51
Speaker 2: all know who that one is.
28:52
Speaker 1: However, they got bought right like so it's kind of
28:55
Speaker 1: a different deal. They slowly faded away, slowly faded away.
28:58
Speaker 1: You knew you were gonna get your last cookies, right
29:00
Speaker 1: like you knew that it was closing up.
29:02
Speaker 2: You knew that it was closing time.
29:04
Speaker 3: Mine out of the blue down the ramp man pouring
29:08
Speaker 3: out for Boston store.
29:09
Speaker 2: That's a good one, man, that's a good one.
29:11
Speaker 1: But you talk as many places and malls, I know
29:15
Speaker 1: that you enjoy walking up.
29:16
Speaker 2: And now I love the Boston store.
29:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, the South through Gentry Point was Boston that it
29:20
Speaker 1: was not the food court, It was not one of
29:22
Speaker 1: the anchor stores on the far end. Mac dab right
29:26
Speaker 1: there in the middle, and you walk through five women
29:29
Speaker 1: hardcore trying to push perfume.
29:30
Speaker 2: Mind conn where you get to the clinique thing.
29:35
Speaker 3: I mean, you really felt like something was going on
29:37
Speaker 3: when I Connor and stuff like that.
29:39
Speaker 2: I didn't do it, but my mom did.
29:40
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I remember, like, man, they're
29:42
Speaker 3: giving like free, free like make up things going on.
29:44
Speaker 1: It was when my kids, when our kids watch National
29:48
Speaker 1: Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, They're gonna not understand when Chevy Chase
29:52
Speaker 1: goes to the perfume counter and that woman is sitting
29:54
Speaker 1: there not gonna understand it. It's gonna go right over
29:58
Speaker 1: their heads. That would be a tough one for me.
29:59
Speaker 1: What about eight seven seven seven nine seven three.
30:02
Speaker 3: They were also on that Coles kind of like level
30:04
Speaker 3: of getting great great Packers sweatshirts deal after Christmas. For sure,
30:09
Speaker 3: I was getting Packers gear on sale like all over
30:11
Speaker 3: the place.
30:11
Speaker 2: So that's a good one. Knock off jerseys for about
30:14
Speaker 2: half the price.
30:15
Speaker 3: You know, it would be a good time here now
30:16
Speaker 3: because they'd still be better than the fanatics ones.
30:18
Speaker 2: What business broke your heart?
30:20
Speaker 3: I mean Lucille's Piano Bar was a lot of fun
30:21
Speaker 3: in my youth when that thing went on Old World
30:23
Speaker 3: Third Street, when there was no more Lucille's Piano Bar
30:26
Speaker 3: to find all the bachelor parties at, you know, like
30:28
Speaker 3: every Saturday.
30:29
Speaker 2: But cheese was a tough one.
30:30
Speaker 3: Two cheese, Oh yeah, oh my goodness, Yeah, I love
30:34
Speaker 3: What about.
30:34
Speaker 1: Dollar Bomb Night was a different level again, probably not
30:37
Speaker 1: a sustainable business model.
30:38
Speaker 3: What about Victor's on Van Buren? That was a favorite
30:41
Speaker 3: for some. I mean, now we're just talking about bars,
30:43
Speaker 3: but it's like, hey, what are they might be in
30:46
Speaker 3: a bar conversation?
30:47
Speaker 1: We are we are the city that has the team
30:49
Speaker 1: called the Brewers. I forbid, we are sad and nostalgic
30:52
Speaker 1: about bars. What business shutting down?
30:54
Speaker 3: Uh?
30:55
Speaker 2: Closing its stores hurt you the most? That's true. That
30:59
Speaker 2: one definitely hurt. But that was just the building. We
31:01
Speaker 2: got a better one. Yeah, it wasn't a business, It
31:03
Speaker 2: was just the building. Boys rus Oh good one, it
31:06
Speaker 2: is a good one.
31:07
Speaker 1: I was gonna say game stop, but they're very much
31:09
Speaker 1: still still very much a business.
31:12
Speaker 2: I've just not gone into a game stop in fifteen years.
31:14
Speaker 2: You didn't get the stock three years ago. Whatever that. No,
31:18
Speaker 2: I shouldn't. I should have been in on that.
31:20
Speaker 1: I should have also been in on the actual money
31:22
Speaker 1: making time of Crypto, but I wasn't. Instead, I'm in
31:24
Speaker 1: radio with all of you at eight seven, seven, seven,
31:27
Speaker 1: nine four one nine seven three. Uh, we are going
31:29
Speaker 1: to get back to the sports, back to the hardcore
31:31
Speaker 1: sports talk. Some Game seven's second best words in all
31:33
Speaker 1: of pro sports. And one guy that did not get
31:35
Speaker 1: to participate in Game seven was one of the reasons
31:38
Speaker 1: why a lot of people thought the Bowser in the
31:40
Speaker 1: East would be the beast of the East. Instead, out
31:44
Speaker 1: like a light are the Boston Celtics the sixth Philadelphia
31:48
Speaker 1: seventy six ers dispatched them in Game seven.
31:51
Speaker 2: Talk about that one.
31:52
Speaker 1: Talk about the two home teams getting by yesterday in
31:55
Speaker 1: the East, and a lot more NBA playoffs and some
31:58
Speaker 1: playoffs in general coming at your at you throughout the
32:01
Speaker 1: next couple of hours.
32:02
Speaker 2: Here on the huddle off Scott Dolphin coming in here.
32:04
Speaker 1: As Armon said, We're gonna run our similar stuff Arman
32:06
Speaker 1: Pacers or Pistons pardon me, outpaced the Magic in the
32:10
Speaker 1: second half. Man the second half for all these road teams.
32:13
Speaker 1: Most importantly, the third quarter was the backbreaker Raptors and
32:17
Speaker 1: Calves was knotted up at forty nine a piece after
32:20
Speaker 1: twenty four minutes, and then the Calves outscore the Raptors
32:24
Speaker 1: thirty eight to nineteen in the third quarter, and it
32:28
Speaker 1: was a backbreaking well final three minutes of the second
32:31
Speaker 1: quarter into the third quarter for the Pistons running away
32:35
Speaker 1: from the Magic yesterday. I don't know that a lot
32:37
Speaker 1: of people thought either team was gonna be able to.
32:40
Speaker 2: Go in and win a road game seven.
32:43
Speaker 1: Like we saw the night before. However, I did think
32:46
Speaker 1: the Raptors had a pretty good chance. That series was
32:48
Speaker 1: about as even steven as it possibly could be. They
32:51
Speaker 1: put up a graphic after the third quarter that until
32:55
Speaker 1: halftime of Game seven, the score was tied. It was
33:00
Speaker 1: like seven hundred and eighteen points on both sides even.
33:03
Speaker 2: And then the Cavs blow up.
33:04
Speaker 1: More importantly, Jared Allen just took over in that third
33:08
Speaker 1: quarter and they move on. But Cleveland's title hopes remain,
33:12
Speaker 1: and maybe one myth gets broken. How about James Harden
33:16
Speaker 1: winning a game seven, Well that was pretty impressive. Now,
33:19
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you does this count as him
33:21
Speaker 1: winning one?
33:21
Speaker 2: Because he did win. I mean, his team won, but
33:24
Speaker 2: I don't won the game seven. I don't know if
33:26
Speaker 2: it was reason buffle. He tried.
33:28
Speaker 1: He tried a game seven hard knit with one of
33:31
Speaker 1: five from three and only three of nine from the floor.
33:34
Speaker 3: But yeah, to be fair, he's not the bus driver.
33:36
Speaker 3: He's just riding it now. He's a role player. So
33:38
Speaker 3: that's fine. I guess he did get it done in
33:40
Speaker 3: that sense. He did go to the line a lot, right,
33:43
Speaker 3: didn't he have like thirteen? So so listen, he helped
33:46
Speaker 3: them win and they got it done. You know, just
33:48
Speaker 3: when you think about game sevens in the playoffs, the
33:51
Speaker 3: home team has such an advantage in the NBA playoffs historically, Billy,
33:54
Speaker 3: we've seen those stats so many times. If you're the
33:56
Speaker 3: dog and you can try and get it done in six,
33:58
Speaker 3: but you have to go home and win on the road,
34:00
Speaker 3: or go on the road and winning game seven, it's
34:02
Speaker 3: so impossible. And actually, you know, the East playoffs has
34:05
Speaker 3: been very compelling. You know, it's so wide open. We've
34:08
Speaker 3: heard that many times. But the ways it's been wide open.
34:11
Speaker 3: And you know the Sixers have the Sixers beating the
34:14
Speaker 3: Celtics in Game seven, that was one that you know
34:16
Speaker 3: they did win on the road, so bucks that trend.
34:19
Speaker 3: But the Pistons how impressive a sixty win team during
34:22
Speaker 3: the year, and they looked for all the world to
34:25
Speaker 3: be another playoff disappointment right walking in. They were gonna
34:28
Speaker 3: be on the brink of their season ending, and then
34:30
Speaker 3: they pushed back history there Billy to find a way
34:33
Speaker 3: to fight against that all claw all the way back
34:35
Speaker 3: and then win the Game seven at home. And you're
34:37
Speaker 3: right the Calves Jared Allen I read that he realized
34:41
Speaker 3: on the way to the game in the car said, wow,
34:43
Speaker 3: this is it, this is Game seven. I've better get going.
34:45
Speaker 3: And he had his twenty two and nineteen. So pretty
34:48
Speaker 3: compelling series on both ends. It's a wide open East.
34:51
Speaker 3: Give the Pistons a lot of credit. They were gonna
34:53
Speaker 3: be in the dustbin of history and they fought all
34:55
Speaker 3: their way back to try and see their legacy. Is
34:57
Speaker 3: a sixty win team. Now we'll see what they can do. Hey,
34:59
Speaker 3: the opportunit and he's there for anybody in the East
35:01
Speaker 3: Calves find a way to get it done. These Raptors
35:03
Speaker 3: were hard for them to get rid of, but they
35:06
Speaker 3: did it. So I think we're gonna be in for
35:07
Speaker 3: some great conference semis here well.
35:09
Speaker 1: In the injuries plague everybody in the playoffs, it's just
35:13
Speaker 1: a tale as old as time Tatum unable to go
35:16
Speaker 1: for Game seven in Boston.
35:18
Speaker 2: They clearly impacted the Celtics.
35:20
Speaker 1: However, and I've heard a lot of people, more importantly
35:23
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley say it a number of different times.
35:25
Speaker 2: They just play stupid basketball sometimes. Is that fair? Like?
35:29
Speaker 1: I totally under I totally understand the numbers and the
35:32
Speaker 1: analytics and the more threes are definitely more worth worth
35:37
Speaker 1: more than twos. But at some point, if you're shooting
35:39
Speaker 1: fifty threes and they're not going in, you're going to
35:42
Speaker 1: be You're gonna struggle. And it wasn't even that they
35:45
Speaker 1: had one of those quarters necessarily for Boston. I mean,
35:48
Speaker 1: they scored like fifteen points in one of the quarters
35:52
Speaker 1: in Game six that allowed the Celtics or the Sixers
35:55
Speaker 1: to run away from him in the third quarter. I
35:57
Speaker 1: mean it was the first quarter that really was the backbreaker.
36:00
Speaker 1: But then they come out and hit you know, four straight,
36:03
Speaker 1: and they retake the lead and feels like it's gonna
36:05
Speaker 1: be the Derek White game and the place is gonna
36:07
Speaker 1: be going crazy. But then they just continually hang around
36:11
Speaker 1: the three point line and wait for as many triples
36:14
Speaker 1: as you can take. And I'm again, I'm totally in
36:17
Speaker 1: on the numbers. I get it, threes are more more
36:19
Speaker 1: than twos. But it feels like, for as much as
36:24
Speaker 1: it seemed like they were going to ruin basketball, that
36:27
Speaker 1: the Celtics were just gonna outshoot everybody from distance and
36:30
Speaker 1: win all the titles, and it was just gonna take
36:32
Speaker 1: it off the sheet after they won it in twenty four,
36:35
Speaker 1: they've ended up like all the other teams trying to
36:38
Speaker 1: repeat here that they're grasping a straws and now a
36:41
Speaker 1: first round exit, albeit in a year that many people
36:44
Speaker 1: thought was gonna be a rebuilding year
