4/16/26 - Hour 1 · The Huddle

0:00
Speaker 1: That's you know, burs have a chance to win the
0:02
Speaker 1: series and get some momentum back.
0:04
Speaker 2: And and ba and Rock said it perfectly last night,
0:07
Speaker 2: that was a snatch it away kind of game, because
0:10
Speaker 2: even though it's one nothing, I'm not gonna say it
0:12
Speaker 2: felt like it was ten to nothing, but it sure
0:14
Speaker 2: felt like it was a multiple run deficit that you
0:16
Speaker 2: were you were facing it did and you get a
0:19
Speaker 2: couple of breaks. Man, the ball is gonna have to
0:21
Speaker 2: bounce your way a couple of times, and and some
0:25
Speaker 2: of it is and we talk about it in any sport,
0:27
Speaker 2: the pressure you create and force the opponent to get
0:30
Speaker 2: into it felt like last night they were they've baited
0:35
Speaker 2: in the Blue Jays a couple of times into some
0:37
Speaker 2: of those mistakes. I mean, that's seeing I single by
0:39
Speaker 2: Contreras that ultimately ties it up. Second basement's not there.
0:43
Speaker 2: If it's not for the threat of the double steal,
0:45
Speaker 2: that could definitely be coming around the pike. Maybe if
0:48
Speaker 2: it wasn't on that second pitch, it was coming pretty quick. Absolutely,
0:51
Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven three.
0:54
Speaker 1: Again, we're betting the under on people listening to us
0:56
Speaker 1: right now that we're at the ballpark. To the end
0:58
Speaker 1: of the game and then had to navigate the nightmare
0:59
Speaker 1: of treffic with flooding a Brewers Boulevard, And I'm sure
1:02
Speaker 1: it was just awful. It's funny how sometimes the worst
1:06
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have a better experience getting out of the
1:09
Speaker 1: ballpark on a really on a sold out night than
1:12
Speaker 1: you do just like the random Wednesday with twenty thousand
1:17
Speaker 1: people there, right or twenty five thousand people.
1:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not lying because especially last night, one nothing game,
1:23
Speaker 2: that's a hard game for you to be ailing from, right,
1:25
Speaker 2: I mean it is even the best of US ailers
1:28
Speaker 2: that you know, will we'll start feeling a little bit
1:31
Speaker 2: of that late game nap coming in the sixth inning,
1:34
Speaker 2: reading the eyelids, like you're on your couch.
1:36
Speaker 3: Every once in a while, I'm like.
1:37
Speaker 2: Hey, we might have to catch ourselves down out of here.
1:40
Speaker 2: You're still gonna try to stay around and see something.
1:43
Speaker 2: And when you start believing you're gonna get and beat
1:47
Speaker 2: it out, and you're like, there's no way anybody's leaving.
1:50
Speaker 2: And the twenty to forty people that already left before
1:53
Speaker 2: you because they had kids and they had to and
1:55
Speaker 2: they ran out of snack strew and their break lights
1:58
Speaker 2: are what you're seeing you know you're in for a
2:00
Speaker 2: long night. I felt like that for the folks that
2:03
Speaker 2: the first probably levers of American Family Field right after
2:07
Speaker 2: the final pitch is done. Abnerary Rebe hasn't even finished
2:10
Speaker 2: his super cool celebration where he's you know, skipping the
2:13
Speaker 2: dice off the ground, and instead they're walking out realizing
2:19
Speaker 2: that's a lot of lights back there. I didn't think
2:21
Speaker 2: that many people left, and that was the start of
2:24
Speaker 2: getting bottlenecked into one way in, one way out. Nice
2:27
Speaker 2: thing that it actually just led you right down to
2:29
Speaker 2: Canal Street, though, that's true. Go cash that Brewer's money
2:32
Speaker 2: Line ticket hopefully that one.
2:34
Speaker 1: And we're not We're just we have you know, our
2:38
Speaker 1: local TV on here. We're not ignoring that they're flooding
2:40
Speaker 1: in tornadoes and damage everywhere. So folks in Madison, I
2:44
Speaker 1: don't know what part of the belt line gets submerged,
2:46
Speaker 1: but that Brewers Boulevard stretch near the ballpark, it's happened before. Yeah,
2:51
Speaker 1: all of times. I'm old enough to remember when it
2:54
Speaker 1: got all. They had to do some work to for
2:56
Speaker 1: abatement to avoid it coming down the hill all the
3:00
Speaker 1: way into the South Dock and flooding like the.
3:03
Speaker 2: Clubhouse got f I was gonna say, was that two
3:04
Speaker 2: thousand and eight maybe when the clubus got flooded? That's right, Yeah,
3:07
Speaker 2: and they had to replace a whole bunch of stuff.
3:09
Speaker 3: That was a nightmare.
3:10
Speaker 2: And it's listen, we joked about it yesterday. Which would
3:14
Speaker 2: you rather have? Would you rather have this or the
3:16
Speaker 2: winter storms? Guess what we get both. Don't worry about it.
3:20
Speaker 2: You don't have to choose. Luckily we get both, and
3:22
Speaker 2: you almost forget how wild it can be when you're
3:26
Speaker 2: in the midst of anything worse than twenty four inches
3:29
Speaker 2: of snow in a two day span.
3:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me three, well said, give me two weeks,
3:34
Speaker 3: I'll find something.
3:34
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing is, like we've had this week
3:36
Speaker 1: of rain and it's awful. And then imagine if this
3:39
Speaker 1: was snow, it'd be in Buffalo, right, it'd be awful.
3:43
Speaker 1: But if this was and again, maybe we're getting this
3:47
Speaker 1: out of the way now, sort of like getting a
3:49
Speaker 1: huge blizzard in early December and you're like, oh, and
3:51
Speaker 1: then the rest of the winter was mild. Maybe we're
3:53
Speaker 1: getting it out of the way now and we'll be
3:56
Speaker 1: clean for the rest of them. This is like we're
3:57
Speaker 1: heading into an El Nino year. I guess we'll see that.
4:00
Speaker 1: So that means ostensibly the winter could be warmer, but
4:03
Speaker 1: with more snow.
4:04
Speaker 3: I don't know.
4:05
Speaker 1: I'm no climatologists we could have. We have to get
4:08
Speaker 1: our girl Brooke Brighton on and ask her about this.
4:11
Speaker 1: I mean, those people have been working overtime, they're having
4:13
Speaker 1: a week. They're gonna need a cocktail.
4:15
Speaker 2: I was gonna say a drift seltzer Man five o'clock
4:18
Speaker 2: can't come here soon enough for them, or for twenty
4:20
Speaker 2: for a drift shelter and a grill caddy. But I
4:23
Speaker 2: joked about it with Brooke the last time we had
4:25
Speaker 2: her on, and we definitely should. It's like one time
4:29
Speaker 2: we're gonna call you when it's sunny in seventy five. Yeah,
4:31
Speaker 2: one of these times we will. If we have the opportunity,
4:35
Speaker 2: we will. But instead it feels like you only need
4:37
Speaker 2: to celebrate and talk about the local meteorologists when it's.
4:40
Speaker 1: But they're going on adrenaline right now, and it's a
4:43
Speaker 1: little bit like, you know, don't.
4:46
Speaker 3: Take me next week.
4:47
Speaker 2: On Saturday, day three of the NFL Draft, hour number four,
4:51
Speaker 2: you're running on pure vibes and exten.
4:52
Speaker 3: Umes, vibes and burritos yep, one hundred percent.
4:55
Speaker 2: Hopefully not too many breakfast ones they cast out My
4:58
Speaker 2: May and Wayne Larvie exactly so.
5:00
Speaker 3: But that's the thing.
5:01
Speaker 1: And you know, would you want a job in Phoenix
5:04
Speaker 1: where you get the occasional haboo but you don't get
5:06
Speaker 1: the juice. And it's like, well, it's one hundred and
5:07
Speaker 1: ten again today, Yeah, good Tomorrow it's going to be
5:09
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten, and next Friday is going to
5:11
Speaker 1: be one hundred and ten.
5:12
Speaker 2: So and instead of sizzling and cooking an egg on
5:16
Speaker 2: the black top today, we're going to try to do
5:18
Speaker 2: a smash burger and find new inventive ways to tell
5:20
Speaker 2: people how.
5:21
Speaker 3: Hot it is.
5:22
Speaker 2: But I've also seen it from you know, last year, Drew.
5:26
Speaker 2: That was a pretty galvanizing moment for the Brewers when
5:30
Speaker 2: that August tenth flood came through and they didn't anticipate
5:33
Speaker 2: the same amount of volume of people could come out.
5:35
Speaker 2: They had a closed down parking lots, told people, hey,
5:37
Speaker 2: by the way, we'll give you a rain check. Yeah,
5:39
Speaker 2: we're doing this like you're playing nine. We'll give you
5:41
Speaker 2: a rain check. Remember that, And still what thirty some
5:43
Speaker 2: thousand people made it out to the stadium. It's one
5:47
Speaker 2: of those where it's not nearly to that point, and
5:50
Speaker 2: hopefully it doesn't. Hopefully we can we can tap out
5:52
Speaker 2: and get some relief here. But it does signify there
5:56
Speaker 2: were twenty five thousand people there at the stadium last night,
5:58
Speaker 2: and it didn't matter what they were walking out too,
6:00
Speaker 2: because when they were celebrating the fact that the team
6:03
Speaker 2: finally was able to get a little bit of good relief,
6:06
Speaker 2: it seemed like.
6:07
Speaker 3: The pops were still the same. That's right.
6:08
Speaker 1: I don't you know me. I'm not really that big
6:12
Speaker 1: into uniforms. We talked about the Whisco things in the colorway,
6:15
Speaker 1: and no one says Whisco, what are they trying to
6:17
Speaker 1: make that a thing for the alternates. Jackie Robinson Day, though,
6:21
Speaker 1: I think is one of the cooler things baseball does.
6:24
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, and the tribute to Jackie
6:26
Speaker 1: and everybody wearing forty two on April fifteenth is pretty cool.
6:31
Speaker 1: Can be confusing for broadcasters and maybe official scores and
6:34
Speaker 1: people who have to pay attention to numbers. Maybe toddlers
6:37
Speaker 1: yesterday were three year old. It was very perplexed when
6:40
Speaker 1: you're like, who's warm up of the bullpen?
6:42
Speaker 4: Well?
6:42
Speaker 3: Number forty two?
6:44
Speaker 2: Who? Well? Right, if they don't help you out at
6:46
Speaker 2: all when they put up the graphic of the guys
6:49
Speaker 2: playing the infield and also tag it with number forty.
6:52
Speaker 3: Over the day, doesn't help. Doesn't help.
6:54
Speaker 1: But I think that is one of the cooler tributes,
6:56
Speaker 1: and it's one of the cooler days in Major League Baseball.
7:00
Speaker 3: And I think Drew correct me if I'm wrong.
7:03
Speaker 2: I want to say what ten twelve years ago is
7:05
Speaker 2: when they first started everybody wearing forty two?
7:07
Speaker 3: Maybe longer than that. Maybe it's just become what was.
7:11
Speaker 1: A while ago because it was Leonard Coleman I think
7:13
Speaker 1: was president of the National League at that point.
7:15
Speaker 2: Okay, so while back, but it's only also gotten better
7:19
Speaker 2: and more you're able to highlight it even more, even
7:25
Speaker 2: like the small detail of the same like Dodger blue
7:29
Speaker 2: as the forty two on the back, I think is
7:31
Speaker 2: such an incredible touch, and you really do think about
7:34
Speaker 2: it when talk about it a little bit more off
7:36
Speaker 2: the air yesterday than on the air. Probably should have
7:38
Speaker 2: maybe talked about it more on the air, But like
7:39
Speaker 2: you think of the human beings that I heard Jeff
7:43
Speaker 2: Passing on the MacFee Show yesterday and he gave an
7:46
Speaker 2: awesome quote by Jackie Robinson of a life lived is
7:50
Speaker 2: worth nothing if it's not for the impact it has
7:53
Speaker 2: on others' lives, And like, do you could argue no
7:56
Speaker 2: one in sports has had a bigger impact on the
8:00
Speaker 2: lives of human beings around and countless amounts of humans
8:04
Speaker 2: and the amount of friends that you end up meeting
8:07
Speaker 2: and you potentially wouldn't have meant if it wasn't for
8:10
Speaker 2: what Jackie Robinson put went through to start out in
8:14
Speaker 2: nineteen forty seven. It's an incredible story and I'm glad
8:17
Speaker 2: that we're able to highlight it more. I wish that
8:20
Speaker 2: we'd be able to celebrate even more of the fact
8:22
Speaker 2: that Right drew it kind of like le led into
8:26
Speaker 2: all the other sports breaking the color barrier, right, So,
8:29
Speaker 2: like maybe that's why you don't hear as much of
8:32
Speaker 2: it as to the individuals that broke it in the
8:34
Speaker 2: NFL and in the NBA, like three years after Robinson
8:38
Speaker 2: in forty seven, you just don't hear those names because
8:40
Speaker 2: if it wasn't for forty two, right, it wouldn't have
8:43
Speaker 2: sparked the intrigue and frankly the belief that it was possible.
8:48
Speaker 1: I think, I think you're absolutely right, and so that's
8:51
Speaker 1: why you know, you talk about Jordan and the NBA.
8:54
Speaker 1: Are Gretzky great players, But did they have the impact
8:57
Speaker 1: that Jacksie Jackie did culturally? No, dominated the sport and
9:00
Speaker 1: they were at the peak of excellence and like the
9:03
Speaker 1: Goats the best ever. But the cultural impact of what
9:06
Speaker 1: Jackie Robinson did, can you know.
9:09
Speaker 3: It can't be understated.
9:10
Speaker 1: And Bud Seelig like worshiped Jackie Robinson was a hero
9:13
Speaker 1: of his And I was around a lot when Rachel Robinson,
9:17
Speaker 1: Jackie's widow, was brought around, and it was always really
9:21
Speaker 1: cool to talk to her and just have her around
9:25
Speaker 1: and being her orbit was just a cool thing.
9:27
Speaker 2: And we sometimes start putting it back a little bit
9:31
Speaker 2: more into the history books, like, oh, it's way back there,
9:34
Speaker 2: that's still like three generations ago, right, like it it's.
9:37
Speaker 3: Not that far removed.
9:38
Speaker 2: Still sad from nineteen forty seven to think of, Like
9:41
Speaker 2: we've come a long way, but it's still within the
9:44
Speaker 2: last century that this happened. And I saw his granddaughter,
9:48
Speaker 2: I believe Ucla his alma Mater did a sweet Jackie
9:53
Speaker 2: Robinson inspired Bruins jersey where it was like the nineteen
9:57
Speaker 2: forty two or forty three whenever he would have been
9:59
Speaker 2: in school style jersey and she was there. And it's
10:02
Speaker 2: incredible to be able to see the respect and the
10:06
Speaker 2: reverence whenever somebody with that name walks into a room.
10:10
Speaker 2: Because you do it changes the temperature. It's just such
10:13
Speaker 2: an impactful guy. I said it as well yesterday. I
10:16
Speaker 2: think it was off there, like what almost gets lost
10:18
Speaker 2: in it because of how impactful he was in society
10:21
Speaker 2: and sports in general and human beings going forward, how
10:25
Speaker 2: how badass of a player he was, and how insane
10:28
Speaker 2: of an athlete he was, like an All American like
10:31
Speaker 2: three different sports at UCLA, football, track, and baseball. And
10:36
Speaker 2: for him to be the individual what six time All
10:39
Speaker 2: Star and MVP A different level of a caliber a player, right,
10:43
Speaker 2: maybe not the the Gretzky's in Jordan's. But that's also
10:46
Speaker 2: why I've laughed when you've when people have tried to say,
10:49
Speaker 2: like maybe they should retire number twenty three around the
10:52
Speaker 2: NBA for Michael Jordan.
10:54
Speaker 3: No, he he also excelled at tennis.
10:59
Speaker 1: When the your boys singles championship of the nineteen thirty
11:02
Speaker 1: six Pacific Coast Negro Tennis Tournament. He was just swiping
11:05
Speaker 1: and dominating whatever he did. Yeah, and he was. They
11:11
Speaker 1: say he was better in football in track than he
11:12
Speaker 1: wasn't baseball.
11:13
Speaker 2: The stories of him and football Drew are like Jim
11:16
Speaker 2: Brown esque, where people would just joke about not even
11:20
Speaker 2: being able to come close to tackling him. His stats
11:23
Speaker 2: were disgusting in his run as well at UCLA. This incredible,
11:28
Speaker 2: incredible athlete. That's one of the cool tributes in sports.
11:31
Speaker 2: And April fifteenth we think of his tax Day, but
11:33
Speaker 2: it's nice to be able to think of it as
11:34
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson Day too. Also, some the chess Protectors this
11:38
Speaker 2: year rollings. Yeah, hey man, I know it's an off
11:40
Speaker 2: day game ball for those Chess Protectors. Last night, Gary
11:44
Speaker 2: Sanchez started out. The kid from the Blue Jays had
11:46
Speaker 2: it on too.
11:47
Speaker 3: That was incredible, Pretty sweet, pretty sweet.
11:50
Speaker 2: I start scrolling through this thing, you give me five seconds,
11:53
Speaker 2: I'll be able to tell you where it is. I
11:55
Speaker 2: can then identify the song. But looking here at the words, yeah,
11:58
Speaker 2: I got I got no clue exactly what I'm like.
12:00
Speaker 1: It's funny It's a funny phenomenon because I went through
12:03
Speaker 1: and did like one of those Marie Condo purges of
12:05
Speaker 1: my closet and drawers the other a couple of weeks ago,
12:08
Speaker 1: and took a whole bunch of contractor bags full of
12:10
Speaker 1: clothes that I didn't need. And my wife wants to
12:14
Speaker 1: do the same, and I'm gonna have to do it again.
12:16
Speaker 1: And I reasoned, and I saw the stats somewhere that
12:18
Speaker 1: you wear twenty percent of your clothing eighty percent of
12:22
Speaker 1: the time.
12:22
Speaker 3: Oh guaranteed, you get the rotation right.
12:24
Speaker 1: And the other stuff just gets, you know, pushing it
12:27
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the drawer that part, and then
12:29
Speaker 1: you buy new stuff on top of it, and it
12:31
Speaker 1: just compounds, and it's it's a thing, there's no doubt.
12:34
Speaker 3: With music, it's kind of the same thing.
12:36
Speaker 1: You have the entire world's recorded catalog at your fingertips,
12:41
Speaker 1: and you probably listen to the same damn bands and
12:43
Speaker 1: the same damn songs.
12:45
Speaker 3: Everybody. Spotify rapped is like, you know, same stuff one
12:48
Speaker 3: hundred percent.
12:48
Speaker 2: The top ten can't be a top twenty because you
12:51
Speaker 2: don't listen to twenty songs sactly.
12:52
Speaker 1: You listen to this this many damn songs when I'm
12:54
Speaker 1: running I want to power through, or if I'm just
12:56
Speaker 1: at the beach, or if a song comes on in
12:58
Speaker 1: a random playlist that I.
13:00
Speaker 3: Like, that's that's just what the way it rolls.
13:03
Speaker 2: Yes, interesting, at some point run this town is going
13:05
Speaker 2: to come in here because that's one of the seventh
13:07
Speaker 2: and one of the ten songs that always comes to
13:08
Speaker 2: my repertoire. So well, we'll find a couple, but we'll well,
13:11
Speaker 2: otherwise we'll mix in whatever we have and our six
13:13
Speaker 2: away friend set up Billy, keep the board rocking. How
13:15
Speaker 2: about this some CCR hey Man look Cream's Clearwater Revival
13:20
Speaker 2: will always be taken. Yeah, that suggestion will always get
13:23
Speaker 2: taken on this side of the table exact.
13:25
Speaker 1: John Fogerty, America's poet laureate Hunter Bombguard, is our man
13:29
Speaker 1: boots on the ground with the Brewers. He's gonna be
13:31
Speaker 1: there again this afternoon. He'll have the U Milwaukee Baseball
13:35
Speaker 1: tonight tonight, right because he does it on Thursdays.
13:38
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he.
13:40
Speaker 1: Has the Brewers or the baseball pregame show, the baseball
13:43
Speaker 1: pregame show on the daily when the Brewers play in
13:45
Speaker 1: the evenings and a Hunter was at the ballpark last
13:49
Speaker 1: night on a soggy night, but a victorious night. Lots
13:51
Speaker 1: to unpack from last night. Let's take it away, Hunter Bombguard.
13:56
Speaker 5: Thanks guys. Kind of a wild night at the ballpark.
13:58
Speaker 5: A lot of rain around the ballpark caused some flooding.
14:01
Speaker 5: Hopefully everyone made it home safe first and foremost. Secondly,
14:04
Speaker 5: Brewers got to win. They snapped their six game losing
14:07
Speaker 5: skid with a two to one victory over Toronto and
14:10
Speaker 5: salth Freelick said, one of the leaks in the roof
14:13
Speaker 5: during that torrential rainfall might have aided that rally. They
14:18
Speaker 5: put together to score two runs in the eighth inning.
14:20
Speaker 3: The leaks in the roof around home plate.
14:22
Speaker 4: So those last three nings, they were just it was
14:25
Speaker 4: coming down so hard, like in certain parts of the field,
14:28
Speaker 4: and I think like ground right in front of home
14:31
Speaker 4: plate just got so wet.
14:33
Speaker 3: It was just so I remember you even get rid
14:34
Speaker 3: of the box, it was saw like wet and saggy.
14:37
Speaker 4: That you know, like all those balls that were hitting
14:39
Speaker 4: that last thing on Rogers like initial bounds was just
14:41
Speaker 4: like killing them wild.
14:43
Speaker 5: Right, we'll talk more about it. I'll join you guys
14:45
Speaker 5: at seven twenty five this morning. This video brought to
14:47
