Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Locked and loaded, cutting and crack, and it's the Huddle
- 0:02Speaker 1: Tuesday edition from Headquarters.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Drew Wilson, armand sary and.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Happy to welcome Billy Schmid to his own party here.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Hello Billy, what's going on?
- 0:10Speaker 2: Fellaws?
- 0:10Speaker 4: Quick drive by and always fun to drop in. I said,
- 0:14Speaker 4: I use the Jimmy Buffetts like a tourist in your
- 0:16Speaker 4: own town.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Deal. But now I just won't leave. Now you gotta
- 0:20Speaker 3: finish it up night.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You just won't leave.
- 0:21Speaker 4: Now you're stuck in here, hanging out and excited to
- 0:24Speaker 4: get up to practice and excited to watching people block
- 0:26Speaker 4: somebody exactly.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Packer's back at it now. They had the hard practice Sunday,
- 0:32Speaker 1: well kind of a flushing practice.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Go to the pads.
- 0:35Speaker 1: But you're gonna see some stuff today and this will
- 0:37Speaker 1: be like the last time of this week because they
- 0:40Speaker 1: they'll be uh.
- 0:41Speaker 4: They'll hit a quick walk through tomorrow and then get
- 0:45Speaker 4: on a plane on Thursday, flyout for Denver on Friday.
- 0:48Speaker 4: And today's also another exciting training camp live because coming
- 0:51Speaker 4: up at nine am, believe we get to hear a
- 0:53Speaker 4: little bit from Brian goodikuons Now he's not gonna make it,
- 0:56Speaker 4: doesn't make any decisions, right, But we we clutch these
- 1:00Speaker 4: moments where you hear from the guy that actually picks
- 1:02Speaker 4: the players. We clutch onto these like pearls. So you
- 1:05Speaker 4: only get so many of them. As much as Brian
- 1:08Speaker 4: Goodacunz loves to call back and talk about Ted Thompson,
- 1:11Speaker 4: they're not a ton of Ted Thompson.
- 1:12Speaker 3: And maybe a little bit more ron Wolf.
- 1:14Speaker 4: In him because he talks a lot during camp and
- 1:17Speaker 4: you know, if they make a splash move, he will.
- 1:19Speaker 4: But Ted would talk the bare minimum. So we're still
- 1:23Speaker 4: into that top that category where you got to grab
- 1:26Speaker 4: every sound bite and enjoy every little bit.
- 1:28Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, just by the nature of
- 1:29Speaker 3: him talking this much, he is not the.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Well yeah, for sure.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Well to use Armands one of Armand's favorite analogies, you know,
- 1:37Speaker 1: like Lafleur is the chef and he's supplied his ingredients
- 1:40Speaker 1: by Brian Gudukunstan and company.
- 1:42Speaker 3: He shops to the groceriese he gets the.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Groceries, and then it's like the chef can only make
- 1:45Speaker 1: the meal as good as the ingredients are. And yeah,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and sometimes the chefs can make spam into a gourmet dish.
- 1:53Speaker 3: For sure, But forever you go.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Every piece of spam that hits that plate, you look
- 1:56Speaker 4: at it and go, this is what the spam is?
- 1:59Speaker 3: This?
- 1:59Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:00Speaker 3: I think we've seen We've had a couple.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Was it Bill Parcells that did the If I'm gonna
- 2:05Speaker 4: make the meal, I might as well.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Buy the grocery. That's exactly what was. Yeah, it doesn't
- 2:09Speaker 3: work very well, does it not? Generally some guys, some
- 2:12Speaker 3: guys have done better than others, obviously and in different
- 2:15Speaker 3: eras of the game. I think that's a good way
- 2:17Speaker 3: to point it out, like like that was once upon
- 2:19Speaker 3: a time, the way, just the way it was, and
- 2:21Speaker 3: it gets you in.
- 2:22Speaker 4: That was like the elevation of class. All right, now
- 2:24Speaker 4: you trust me enough. Now I get to pick the player.
- 2:26Speaker 3: And it's interesting because it's caused issues one way or
- 2:28Speaker 3: the other, because I think every great head coach eventually
- 2:31Speaker 3: Billy wants to feel like I want to see if
- 2:34Speaker 3: I can do both jobs, and that creates some stress.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I mean home Grin wanted it. That's one main reason
- 2:40Speaker 3: he left Green Bay went to Seattle. The Packers didn't
- 2:42Speaker 3: want to give it to him because they had had
- 2:44Speaker 3: no success after Vince did it right and they had
- 2:48Speaker 3: this belief that that when Vince could do both jobs,
- 2:50Speaker 3: that everyone should. The game just evolved. It was too hard.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Then they had success separating it, so then it's like no, no, no,
- 2:56Speaker 3: this is the right way. But I think a lot
- 2:58Speaker 3: of coaches, when they are successful coaching, had the eagle
- 3:01Speaker 3: of the hubersus say I want to try and see
- 3:03Speaker 3: if I can do both.
- 3:03Speaker 4: You can even see somebody doing it right now. Mike
- 3:06Speaker 4: vrabel is in command of the I believe has somewhat
- 3:10Speaker 4: final say of the roster there in New England, even
- 3:13Speaker 4: though Elliott Wolf ended up picking all the players on
- 3:16Speaker 4: day three because somebody somebody had to slap in the
- 3:19Speaker 4: wrist wasn't allowed into the draft room there on day
- 3:22Speaker 4: number three. But apparently that one doesn't necessarily matter. It's
- 3:26Speaker 4: a tough it's a slippery slope. It's a tough deal.
- 3:28Speaker 4: But you saw Belichick do it really really well for
- 3:30Speaker 4: a time and then swing and miss more than just
- 3:34Speaker 4: about anybody in the draft on his way out. So
- 3:36Speaker 4: it's not the easiest thing. But you guys got they
- 3:38Speaker 4: got to be in lock step. But we'll see if
- 3:39Speaker 4: they are coming up today.
- 3:40Speaker 3: He's showing the ability to handle two things at once.
- 3:43Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna say for now, we we spent
- 3:46Speaker 1: the first hour talk in baseball and the Brewers and
- 3:49Speaker 1: how my contention that baseball is the most fun, fun
- 3:52Speaker 1: sport to follow when your team is good. Because on
- 3:55Speaker 1: one of those rare off days and much needed off
- 3:57Speaker 1: day last night, you got to root against the Cubs.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Even though it didn't work out and the White Sox
- 4:01Speaker 1: lost in extras and PCA walked them off.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Goodness, at least.
- 4:04Speaker 1: You got the diversion, the double mean hit that came
- 4:06Speaker 1: from that. And then the Brewers are in two races now,
- 4:08Speaker 1: holding off the Cubs and trying to hold off everybody
- 4:11Speaker 1: else for the best record in one of the top
- 4:12Speaker 1: two seeds. So you got like multiple pennant races going
- 4:15Speaker 1: on and a lot of stuff to focus on, and
- 4:18Speaker 1: it's just good theater. Now the Packers, we're still a
- 4:21Speaker 1: month away from meaningful football under a month, but there
- 4:26Speaker 1: we were just talking about the drama with Katel Marte
- 4:29Speaker 1: not showing up and Packers are generally drama free as
- 4:31Speaker 1: an organization and in this camp. So I would ask
- 4:35Speaker 1: Billy heading into today's practice, you'll be covering it with
- 4:37Speaker 1: Wayne training camp live kicking off at eleven o'clock going
- 4:40Speaker 1: till one, giving us the site sounds and smells from
- 4:44Speaker 1: what might be a damp day up there. What's the
- 4:46Speaker 1: number one storyline in Packers camp right now?
- 4:51Speaker 4: Right now, it's gotta be Keishaw Nixon and the in
- 4:55Speaker 4: the drama filled category, Drue, I don't know how you
- 4:58Speaker 4: would see it. I think we're making this a much
- 5:02Speaker 4: bigger drama than it needs to be or is in
- 5:05Speaker 4: all reality.
- 5:07Speaker 3: But it's also a lot of fun, right.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Like I mean, I'm reading yesterday and like people are
- 5:11Speaker 4: doing poll questions of do the Packers need to cut
- 5:14Speaker 4: Keishon Nixon? Does he need to be eradicated from the
- 5:18Speaker 4: locker room? And then other people being like he's our guy,
- 5:21Speaker 4: little arm and sorry, we need to get behind him.
- 5:23Speaker 4: He deserves some support and love and admiration. He's still
- 5:27Speaker 4: wearing with Murphy chet rarely, as you said, a month
- 5:33Speaker 4: away from games. Can we be this into how the
- 5:36Speaker 4: guys go back and forth day in and day out?
- 5:38Speaker 4: But Nixon is right there in that.
- 5:40Speaker 1: It was tray smack until last week in Pittsburgh. He
- 5:44Speaker 1: quieted that one down and then somebody grabbed the microphone.
- 5:46Speaker 3: He quieted that down.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And then the Kishon thing is fascinating because he's been
- 5:50Speaker 1: a starter and he's been a lightning rod, and that
- 5:52Speaker 1: is like, that's the drama, but there's other drama, like
- 5:55Speaker 1: Anthony Belton a little bit less good little drama, yes,
- 5:59Speaker 1: and then the whole like the Banks thing, and like
- 6:01Speaker 1: when's that guy gonna get back out there?
- 6:02Speaker 4: And that one's getting spiced up, And that's one one
- 6:05Speaker 4: of those that we're gonna get a little bit more
- 6:07Speaker 4: answer to, I would assume when Goody talks, because Lafleur, Yeah,
- 6:11Speaker 4: but we learned a lot more about that now. You
- 6:12Speaker 4: can't talk about a lot of the injuries. But Goody
- 6:15Speaker 4: is the one that signed off on moving and converting
- 6:18Speaker 4: a lot of his money into a signing bonus and
- 6:20Speaker 4: locking him in for the year. I wonder if he
- 6:22Speaker 4: answered some questions on the tender Night is today?
- 6:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and Banks, like Aaron Banks, this is his last year, right,
- 6:28Speaker 1: I mean, they'll end up cutting him after this unless
- 6:30Speaker 1: it plays like at a Pro Bowl level, which showed
- 6:33Speaker 1: me God bless awesome. That'd be great, and then then
- 6:37Speaker 1: then he deserves it. But this so far, it's looking
- 6:39Speaker 1: like a swing and a miss, although they still have time.
- 6:42Speaker 1: And that's where man I go back then, I look
- 6:46Speaker 1: at last year and you see how Jordan Morgan's handling
- 6:48Speaker 1: left tackleing, You're like, why didn't they put him there
- 6:50Speaker 1: last year?
- 6:51Speaker 2: Right?
- 6:52Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 6:52Speaker 1: Some of it was I not right, like Rashid was,
- 6:55Speaker 1: you know, tearing it up.
- 6:56Speaker 4: No, But I think the the tough thing for or Morgan,
- 7:02Speaker 4: I should say, while Walker was playing there, I think
- 7:04Speaker 4: they realized in the midst of it how difficult it
- 7:07Speaker 4: was it is for certain guys to go back and forth.
- 7:10Speaker 4: They've just made it such commonplace to watch TJ. Langs
- 7:13Speaker 4: of the world play all five positions, learn all of them,
- 7:16Speaker 4: and then go and.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Start a little high expectation.
- 7:19Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough thing to ask for somebody that's
- 7:21Speaker 4: played his entire life over on the left side, and
- 7:24Speaker 4: now with a full off season and let you know,
- 7:26Speaker 4: time dedicated to it, they were such in a rush
- 7:29Speaker 4: Drew to get their first round pick on the field,
- 7:32Speaker 4: not unlike a lot of teams where maybe you you
- 7:36Speaker 4: probably could have pulled that lever last year if you
- 7:38Speaker 4: had been practicing a left tackle and had been locked
- 7:40Speaker 4: in at left tackle, but you were forcing him so
- 7:42Speaker 4: much over the right guard that I don't know that
- 7:44Speaker 4: it was.
- 7:44Speaker 3: It was the perfect time last year.
- 7:46Speaker 4: I don't know you get the results right now that
- 7:47Speaker 4: you're getting if he gets pushed last year. But it
- 7:50Speaker 4: looks like they know what they had there in apparent
- 7:53Speaker 4: hopefully again one rep of like fifteen plays in in
- 7:57Speaker 4: one preseason game, but looks all right so.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Far in his camp looks better than what it's about.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Yeah, his camp has been pretty good. The other thing,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and the other drama that's bubbling under the surface is
- 8:09Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs.
- 8:11Speaker 4: And and that one's gonna be on like a slow simmer, right,
- 8:14Speaker 4: That one, to me is like on the on the burner, on.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Like a two. That's the high and that's the chili.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Ben Well, and at what point do we find out
- 8:24Speaker 1: what is status? Is like is this injury or a
- 8:26Speaker 1: real injury? Is it a phantom? Is it like, you know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: like what where are we?
- 8:29Speaker 2: Like? Whaten When can the guy play?
- 8:31Speaker 1: And when will we know he's free and clear or
- 8:33Speaker 1: when will we know if he's in in the woods
- 8:35Speaker 1: of you know, possible suspensions and stuff.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Well, they just gave out they being the NFL just
- 8:42Speaker 4: handed out a handful of suspensions on this past Friday.
- 8:48Speaker 4: Number of different UH team you know, contra conduct detrimental
- 8:52Speaker 4: to the league personal conduct policy deals, and Josh Jacobs
- 8:57Speaker 4: had seemingly avoided that first one. Now that was James Peers,
- 9:00Speaker 4: who again we're not putting these on a teeter todd
- 9:03Speaker 4: or trying to scale them out. The James Pierce allegations
- 9:07Speaker 4: were about as awful as you could get. There was
- 9:11Speaker 4: a contacting with another car. Police officers were there during
- 9:15Speaker 4: the time. He got eight games eight games. So and
- 9:19Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs. The alleged acts that Josh Jacobs has apparently
- 9:24Speaker 4: or allegedly done our heinous as well. I don't know
- 9:29Speaker 4: where they would fall in line on the NFL scale.
- 9:32Speaker 4: But that being said, we also saw I keep going
- 9:36Speaker 4: back to the Stefan Diggs one because it's the only
- 9:37Speaker 4: one that continued to remain unresolved throughout. He played all
- 9:41Speaker 4: year last year and went to the Super Bowl, and
- 9:44Speaker 4: that happened preseason. So like there is some evidence for
- 9:50Speaker 4: this to go on for a long time. I don't
- 9:54Speaker 4: question the little bit of a ding for Josh Jacobs.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Also the fact of you don't need him to be
- 9:59Speaker 4: running the football right right, like out of the amount
- 10:01Speaker 4: of times that he's gonna run it the carries he
- 10:04Speaker 4: had last year. You don't need him to be going
- 10:07Speaker 4: full speed and getting himself ready to roll. He's a veteran,
- 10:10Speaker 4: he's played now six years. He understands what he needs
- 10:12Speaker 4: to do to have his body ready to go. More
- 10:15Speaker 4: than anything, you want to get this resolve, but I
- 10:18Speaker 4: just don't see it happening anytime soon. I had mentioned
- 10:20Speaker 4: it to Nagg's when we first talked about it on
- 10:24Speaker 4: Carry the G Radio, the podcast, like, I think there's
- 10:26Speaker 4: a better chance that he's on another team when this
- 10:28Speaker 4: all gets put to bed, because, much like Aaron Banks,
- 10:32Speaker 4: the contract would signal that Josh Jacobs has probably done
- 10:34Speaker 4: with the Packers after this year, the cap hit, the
- 10:36Speaker 4: dead cap money. It all lines up mathematically that he
- 10:39Speaker 4: is a free agent at the end of the year.
- 10:41Speaker 4: And the way that these go and the way that
- 10:44Speaker 4: the court systems and police investigations have moved, and this
- 10:48Speaker 4: one out of very much a snailspace you're just waiting
- 10:50Speaker 4: to know. They want to get all the information possible.
- 10:53Speaker 4: I don't think that you're seeing much resolved within the
- 10:57Speaker 4: next five months at least, and at the most I mean,
- 11:00Speaker 4: you could be looking at upwards of three hundred and
- 11:02Speaker 4: sixty five days or so. So I just I don't
- 11:04Speaker 4: know that that one is as difficult and as much
- 11:09Speaker 4: of a time crunch.
- 11:10Speaker 3: And they're waiting on something here.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Again, I think the league is gonna wait for the
- 11:13Speaker 4: police investigation and all of the legal things to happen subside,
- 11:17Speaker 4: and I don't know that we're close to that reservation
- 11:19Speaker 4: or resolution.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 11:21Speaker 4: I have zero information from the Hobart Police Department, but
- 11:24Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like they're in a in a massive rush.
- 11:27Speaker 3: And we've gotten We've really got no information leaked through
- 11:30Speaker 3: or anything like that. The closest thing was that kind
- 11:32Speaker 3: of vague report that there may be punishment at some
- 11:36Speaker 3: point for Jacob's right.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Yeah, the shifter of yeah, maybe maybe that was the
- 11:40Speaker 4: closest thing.
- 11:41Speaker 2: May or may not be suspended.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Yeah you did, You just didn't.
- 11:44Speaker 4: The only thing you didn't do it right with Drew
- 11:46Speaker 4: was he may or may not be suspended. I have
- 11:52Speaker 4: never heard somebody talk with full double spacing like Schefter
- 11:56Speaker 4: doesing the podcast double spacing.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he has a double space in Michigan. I'm sure
- 12:04Speaker 1: interesting though, because yes, I I have no trouble envisioning
- 12:07Speaker 1: the Packers going into next season without Josh Jacobs and then,
- 12:11Speaker 1: you know, and possibly earn Banks. And then I'm thinking, okay,
- 12:13Speaker 1: well that if they can free up some cash and
- 12:16Speaker 1: shake some coins loose and extend Xavier McKinney because he's
- 12:20Speaker 1: becoming a dude.
- 12:21Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to play without that guy.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Right now, Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams, right, both of them, right,
- 12:26Speaker 4: both right next to each other.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Are going to be in that line because he's homegrown.
- 12:29Speaker 4: And you know, you listen to and people are laughing
- 12:32Speaker 4: at the radio and at their screens when.
- 12:34Speaker 3: They hear holy cow, you guys on these streaming numbers.
- 12:36Speaker 4: My goodness, I walked into a party here after the
- 12:40Speaker 4: five o'clock go, let's go. Lots of hundreds of people
- 12:43Speaker 4: watching it on the stream as.
- 12:45Speaker 3: It should be. Give me credit, but I don't know
- 12:46Speaker 3: what happened.
- 12:48Speaker 4: You know, they'll they'll tell anybody that'll listen about how
- 12:50Speaker 4: good of a here Lucas van Ness is going to have.
- 12:52Speaker 4: And even though he's got a fifty year option tied
- 12:54Speaker 4: to him next year, uh, that position would if he
- 12:57Speaker 4: has a big year probably lend it so off to
- 13:00Speaker 4: an extension, so like they're gonna have guys that they
- 13:02Speaker 4: want to extend, And you bring up Jacob's McKinney one year,
- 13:07Speaker 4: Banks Hobbs the next year. Talk about the other end
- 13:11Speaker 4: of the two ends of the spectrum, the polar opposites
- 13:13Speaker 4: you can have in free agency. Sometimes you get another
- 13:16Speaker 4: team's trash that turns into your treasure. Sometimes you get
- 13:19Speaker 4: another team's trash that turns into track. And that one's
- 13:21Speaker 4: a swing and a miss. Wiss after two big home runs. Yeah, yeah,
- 13:26Speaker 4: no doubt.
- 13:26Speaker 1: But but again, the same guys that you say screwed
- 13:30Speaker 1: up that personnel move they found Jagger.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Burton, found found Burton and it.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Appears that he might be great, and Morgan looks like
- 13:37Speaker 1: that's gonna be Their logic was not flawed that he
- 13:39Speaker 1: end up, like I said, if he ends up being
- 13:41Speaker 1: your left tackle for five years.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Then it's a win.
- 13:44Speaker 4: And again this is also a defense that last year,
- 13:48Speaker 4: whatever the rankings ended up being, the way that they
- 13:51Speaker 4: played in the first couple of weeks is hopefully the
- 13:53Speaker 4: way that you're playing the final couple of weeks. Right
- 13:56Speaker 4: Like when you get Parsons fully healthy and you're able
- 13:59Speaker 4: to keep this core or three safety look together. I
- 14:02Speaker 4: think schematically their their personnel matches how they want to
- 14:07Speaker 4: play pretty dang perfectly. Now you're just gonna have to
- 14:09Speaker 4: be able to stay healthy and let it run and
- 14:11Speaker 4: see where the chips fall.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Because it seems like.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Edrick Cooper's going to be in for a phenomenal year,
- 14:16Speaker 4: and I think they have some. They got a couple
- 14:19Speaker 4: more fail safes than they did a year ago. And
- 14:21Speaker 4: that one might be Katano Ladappo when Javon Bullard. If
- 14:24Speaker 4: Javon Buller goes out, you no longer have to move
- 14:26Speaker 4: five different pieces around.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I think the blood one slot. That's what's seems like.
- 14:31Speaker 1: It's the recipe eight seven seven seven nine, three year
- 14:34Speaker 1: ticket to nicolayla dot com talking text nine. Time for
- 14:36Speaker 1: a little Who's hot, Who's not? Brought to us by
- 14:37Speaker 1: Donovan Jorgens and heating and Cooling. I got a guy
- 14:39Speaker 1: who's hot and Billy. He plays a right field for
- 14:42Speaker 1: the New York met Metropolitans.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Ooh my goodness, man.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Last night, back to back in the first inning, the
- 14:49Speaker 1: Padres had traffic and he threw out two guys from
- 14:53Speaker 1: right field at the plate.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Geez, first inning.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Back to back outfield assists to cut down runners the plate,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and I believe one of them was.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Machado.
- 15:04Speaker 4: Well, and uh, the nobody is playing better than the Mets,
- 15:07Speaker 4: so I don't know if this is gonna save David
- 15:10Speaker 4: Stern's gig. They've won ten of thirteen and apparently they're
- 15:13Speaker 4: the only team that can slow down the Padres.
- 15:15Speaker 1: They're hot, and they're right fielder throughout two guys and then.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Uh, Machado, back to back.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Time to our buddy Kurt Hoague, who pointed out that
- 15:23Speaker 1: the Padres got thrown out home twice in an inning.
- 15:26Speaker 1: The Brewers have been thrown out trying to score on
- 15:28Speaker 1: a base hit once this season. Matt ericson at third
- 15:31Speaker 1: base speak his name, Matt Erickson has one guy cut
- 15:34Speaker 1: down in the entire one hundred and twenty five games
- 15:37Speaker 1: the Padres have.
- 15:40Speaker 3: That's incredible. Was real excited about it. Now.
- 15:42Speaker 1: My theory of the case, though, and I say this,
- 15:45Speaker 1: is that if you're a third base coach, you gotta
- 15:47Speaker 1: get guys thrown out because you gotta push. You gotta
- 15:49Speaker 1: get envelope yes or not. If you're too conservative. That's
- 15:52Speaker 1: not good.
- 15:53Speaker 3: I can remember at least really adept close calls in
- 15:56Speaker 3: my head to it was a bunch of yeah.
- 15:58Speaker 1: The Brewers, I mean they have scored a winning runs
- 16:01Speaker 1: and I was going on close plays at the play.
- 16:03Speaker 4: A terrangue, full extension, tapping just the far corner, and
- 16:07Speaker 4: that freeze frames phenomenals just recently.
- 16:11Speaker 2: That makes me nervous.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Now we're gonna have a bunch of go yeah, with
- 16:14Speaker 3: a regression to the mean hold, but my anxiety.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So Matt Erickson has been hot at third base just
- 16:19Speaker 1: with his decisions, and the Birds have good base runners,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and it's been you know, it's fun to watch. But
- 16:25Speaker 1: I remember Dale Swam when he was the third base
- 16:27Speaker 1: coach in Boston. They were calling him the Windmill and
- 16:29Speaker 1: he was getting guys thrown out and the Boston Red
- 16:31Speaker 1: Sox fans were ready to just run him out of town.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I think that it was one of the years they
- 16:34Speaker 1: won the World Series.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Sure, remember he was.
- 16:37Speaker 1: The problem and he was like the everything else was
- 16:39Speaker 1: going good, So all the fans.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Did was bitch about this crazy. It was like the
- 16:43Speaker 3: Butch Windinger syndrome when the breeze crazy.
- 16:47Speaker 1: How much the slings and arrows that he took as
- 16:49Speaker 1: the third base coach, just the lightning ride. But again,
- 16:51Speaker 1: if you're a third base coach and you're not getting
- 16:52Speaker 1: guys thrown out, are you pushing enough?
- 16:54Speaker 4: Well, it's like a defensive coordinator. Are you blitzing enough?
- 16:56Speaker 4: If you're not getting beatn cover zero a couple of times?
- 16:58Speaker 4: But if you're not getting beat over the top, are
- 17:00Speaker 4: you pressing enough? I always like that you got to
- 17:03Speaker 4: force teams to make a play because who knows, maybe
- 17:05Speaker 4: maybe a catcher will contraras one like he did a
- 17:07Speaker 4: couple of days ago when the ball just bounces right
- 17:09Speaker 4: about of his glove before he's about to have somebody dead.
- 17:12Speaker 3: To rights, uh or Gary and catch it behind the plate.
- 17:16Speaker 3: That was That was one of the tougher ones to see,
- 17:19Speaker 3: my man.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Luis Laura had a great throw, gorgeous dive into the
- 17:23Speaker 4: into the into homes.
- 17:24Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you.
- 17:26Speaker 4: I want you to push the envelope and uh, I
- 17:29Speaker 4: also would like so apparently Daniel.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Vogelbach is that guy right now?
- 17:34Speaker 4: Man, did I see a lot of freeze frames on
- 17:35Speaker 4: on Vogue and people being frustrated with the Brewers hitting
- 17:38Speaker 4: coach situation happen that's when you know you're a good squad. Yes,
- 17:41Speaker 4: And it is when you know you're a good squad.
- 17:43Speaker 4: And we have flipped from everybody's venom towards Joey Ortiz.
- 17:46Speaker 4: Let's find it to Daniel Vogelbach there into the bench.
- 17:49Speaker 2: N L M V.
- 17:50Speaker 3: P rais is hot show, hey and PCA ball to
- 17:52Speaker 3: Homers last night. Now they both do that every day.
- 17:54Speaker 3: That's gonna be a heck of a race.
- 17:56Speaker 4: On that PCA one last night. That that walk off
- 17:58Speaker 4: that place, blew raw. They went back to back in
- 18:01Speaker 4: the first inning too.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I really start a game two, by the way, because
- 18:05Speaker 3: I thought the Socks were gonna win at the man.
- 18:08Speaker 1: So, yeah, who's not hot? The Cleveland Guardians continue to sputter,
- 18:12Speaker 1: and they're on the fringes of that weird wild card
- 18:16Speaker 1: race in the in the American League. One of the
- 18:18Speaker 1: strangest things that you possibly could have. And I also
- 18:20Speaker 1: like Johnny Cribbage had a good one for who's hot
- 18:22Speaker 1: Who's not? Drew Trey Smack will be the drama five
- 18:25Speaker 1: more times.
- 18:25Speaker 3: This year, easily. Don't worry about because he is hot
- 18:27Speaker 3: right now. It'll happen.
- 18:28Speaker 4: He went four for four to fifty eight yarders. Just
- 18:31Speaker 4: wait till what eleven forty five today on Training Camp
- 18:36Speaker 4: Live right around twelve fifteen.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Then we'll have the.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Full update as to what he was today, and we'll
- 18:40Speaker 4: let you know if he goes to the hot category
- 18:42Speaker 4: or not category. With Donovan Jorganson Heating and Cooling.

- 19:33Speaker 1: one oh six is with us.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Hello, Dolph. I'm well rested, so you know, I got
- 19:37Speaker 2: that going for.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Me to brag.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Right, wee good weekend, not a bad weekend, you know.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Colonoscopee annual ten year visit on Friday, and then I
- 19:45Speaker 2: went to my first ever Dolphin family reunion on Saturday.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Had never been to one before. There's only been three two. Yeah,
- 19:51Speaker 2: so I drove off to Iowa for that and saw
- 19:53Speaker 2: a lot of cousins I haven't seen in a long time,
- 19:55Speaker 2: and some cousins I've never met before. So that was.
- 19:58Speaker 3: That's kind of cool. I've you've never met certain cousins
- 20:01Speaker 3: at that It's funny.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Because yeah, I mean they were, you know, their distant cousins.
- 20:06Speaker 2: So my my side, my immediate dolphin cousins. There was
- 20:10Speaker 2: only three boys in the family, my dad and two
- 20:12Speaker 2: other brothers, and so that side is fairly small as
- 20:15Speaker 2: far as the cousins go. But yeah, so it was
- 20:18Speaker 2: fun meeting people I knew existed but I had never
- 20:20Speaker 2: met before.
- 20:21Speaker 1: I need to do that because my mom comes from
- 20:23Speaker 1: a family of thirteen and whoa, and we're pretty it's
- 20:27Speaker 1: a pretty prominent menomine Falls family. And so I had
- 20:31Speaker 1: grown up. I had cousins everywhere. I was related to everybody,
- 20:33Speaker 1: and I used to see them all the time, and
- 20:34Speaker 1: we'd have gathering stuff. And then as you age out,
- 20:36Speaker 1: like never see them. Yeah, it's like never once a year,
- 20:40Speaker 1: once every five years at funerals.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Okay, that's just never seen them. Funerals and weddings and
- 20:44Speaker 2: stuff like that. Never see them.
- 20:45Speaker 4: You guys made me feel so much better because I
- 20:47Speaker 4: just thought one of my first cousins, she just moved
- 20:49Speaker 4: in college.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, wait what and down in South Carolina.
- 20:54Speaker 4: I'm like, dang, I feel like all of a sudden,
- 20:56Speaker 4: I blinked in their entire life. It was most of
- 20:59Speaker 4: my twenties difficult, a lot of not family reunions being
- 21:02Speaker 4: intended in that time with the little guys, we're just
- 21:05Speaker 4: trying to find any chance to like a lot of
- 21:06Speaker 4: his cousins in Arizona on my wife's side and things
- 21:09Speaker 4: like that. Funerals most of the time, sadly when you
- 21:11Speaker 4: end up seeing them, but when those little guys just
- 21:14Speaker 4: eye each other up. They're like, wait a second, there's
- 21:16Speaker 4: another two foot one of me.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Yeah, this is wild, This is wild, all right. True.
- 21:21Speaker 3: My best rocks at the building and have some fun.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Best memories as a kid were hanging out with your
- 21:25Speaker 1: cousin the greatest, the greatest.
- 21:27Speaker 3: And the thing is, for me, none of mine lived that.
- 21:28Speaker 3: My first cousin lived in the state. So when we
- 21:30Speaker 3: got a chance to see them, it was it was
- 21:32Speaker 3: like our biggest event of the year. And it was
- 21:34Speaker 3: so exciting and so happy because you don't it's like winning,
- 21:38Speaker 3: like you don't get desensitized by it when it doesn't happen.
- 21:40Speaker 3: When you win every day, like you get desensitized by it, right,
- 21:43Speaker 3: But when you don't get a chance to have one
- 21:45Speaker 3: moment in the sun and it's like, this is our
- 21:47Speaker 3: week of our year. Yes, so we're going to see
- 21:50Speaker 3: hang out with our cousins. It's pretty cool.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Yeah, And everybody circled this event arm and so you know,
- 21:55Speaker 2: not everybody has made it back for weddings. I mean,
- 21:57Speaker 2: my nephew lives in Australia. He actually came back cool
- 22:00Speaker 2: this one and then I got another one in sol
- 22:03Speaker 2: cal so it was cool. Everybody came back for this event.
- 22:05Speaker 2: We were all together, got some good pictures and it
- 22:07Speaker 2: was a lot of fun.
- 22:08Speaker 1: So I was getting ready to ask Dolf because when
- 22:11Speaker 1: Tommy John passed last week, for some reason, I had
- 22:14Speaker 1: it in my brain that he was an Iowa guy.
- 22:16Speaker 1: He's from Terre Haute, Indiana. Oh yeah, I'm in the Midwest,
- 22:19Speaker 1: and I get pissed when people like in New York
- 22:21Speaker 1: confused Minneapolis and Milwaukee.
- 22:24Speaker 2: How can they do that? Like, how could I do that?
- 22:25Speaker 1: For some reason, I had it in my head that
- 22:27Speaker 1: Tommy John hailed from the great state of Iowa, did
- 22:29Speaker 1: not Tera Halte, which.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Is home to Indiana State University Larry Bird. I can
- 22:35Speaker 2: tell you as a kid growing up in the nineteen seventies,
- 22:37Speaker 2: Tommy John was was pretty special to me because as
- 22:41Speaker 2: the Yankee fansy Yankees were terrible for the first twelve
- 22:44Speaker 2: years of my life whatever, and then free agency started
- 22:47Speaker 2: and the Yankees catfish, and then they brought in Tommy
- 22:49Speaker 2: John from the Dodgers. That was a big deal at
- 22:51Speaker 2: the time. Yeahggie, Reggie, and then you know, they started
- 22:56Speaker 2: winning some championships. But I'll always remember Tommy John, his demeanor,
- 22:59Speaker 2: he seemed like the greatest dude in the world, and
- 23:01Speaker 2: they talked about him during the Dodgers Brewer season and
- 23:05Speaker 2: apparently that was true. During that series, they said what
- 23:07Speaker 2: a good dude he was. Yeah, and so he then
- 23:10Speaker 2: encountered himself.
- 23:10Speaker 1: He had the surgery, the groundbreaking surgery, and if it
- 23:13Speaker 1: would have been like, you know, Joe Schlabotnick, it would
- 23:15Speaker 1: have been the Schlebotnik surgery, right, end up being Tommy John.
- 23:19Speaker 1: And there are people who don't know Tommy John was,
- 23:21Speaker 1: but they just know, like why Tommy John's the surgery
- 23:23Speaker 1: to reconstruct your elbows?
- 23:24Speaker 3: It's name to say, it's like lou Garritson.
- 23:27Speaker 2: I mean, know him more for the disease than what
- 23:30Speaker 2: an unbelievable player he was. Amen.
- 23:31Speaker 1: So I was wondering about that. That was going to
- 23:33Speaker 1: be a topic last week, but we got bogged down.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Is like stuff that's named after people, like this cool
- 23:38Speaker 1: stuff or quirky stuff that's named after people, like there's
- 23:41Speaker 1: the Mendoza line.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Up, Yeah, it's the Menz line. I had Hunter on
- 23:45Speaker 2: my show last week and we talked about that guy.
- 23:48Speaker 2: I said that poor SLB and Hunter looked up his stats.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Apparently he ended up hitting like two seventeen, so he
- 23:54Speaker 2: wasn't even below his own line.
- 23:56Speaker 3: He was even better than he played.
- 23:57Speaker 2: For a handful of teams retired probably in what the
- 24:00Speaker 2: eighties or something like that.
- 24:01Speaker 3: That someone said it should be the Uker line because
- 24:02Speaker 3: he actually hit exactly and he's a more interesting figure
- 24:06Speaker 3: than Mendoza.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, you always said every fifth time to the plate
- 24:09Speaker 2: it was Katie Brotherdor.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, Uker did hit two hundred, so it
- 24:12Speaker 1: could be the Uker line, But yeah, the Mendoza line,
- 24:15Speaker 1: your Miranda rights. That comes from a guy Miranda warning.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Yeah, there's probably more than you think that you don't
- 24:20Speaker 3: even think about because you just say them naturally, exactly
- 24:23Speaker 3: realizing was the name.
- 24:24Speaker 4: I didn't know that the uh complete game under one
- 24:26Speaker 4: hundred pitches was called the Maddox until miss threw one
- 24:30Speaker 4: earlier on this year on Greg Maddox.
- 24:31Speaker 3: That's or in honor of gragmatics. That's a phenomenal one
- 24:34Speaker 3: to have.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Big more, how about the how about the half lemonade,
- 24:38Speaker 1: half dice tea?
- 24:39Speaker 2: The Arnold Palmer Right, that's right.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Both throw a little vodka in there and call it.
- 24:44Speaker 4: John Daly, that's even better on a lot summer after
- 24:48Speaker 4: the NBA in front of the Blackstone.
- 24:50Speaker 3: We throw bird rights around a lot for NBA contract stuff.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I like that.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's probably a lot. We just don't think
- 24:57Speaker 3: of them all. Like, there's a lot more probably to think.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Of thy young award was the guy who has the
- 25:03Speaker 2: most wins in baseball history. That's true. Yeah, people don't
- 25:05Speaker 2: know that.
- 25:06Speaker 3: That's you know.
- 25:07Speaker 4: The crazy one for Tommy John is that he's not
- 25:09Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame as a contributor like let
- 25:11Speaker 4: alone as a player, his numbers are pretty name probably
- 25:14Speaker 4: as a player, but like almost almost three hundred wins,
- 25:17Speaker 4: but in the contributions to the game category that they
- 25:20Speaker 4: put somebody in for a legacy award every single year,
- 25:23Speaker 4: it's stunning that he wasn't.
- 25:25Speaker 3: We always say like you, I can't. You can't tell
- 25:27Speaker 3: the story this league without so and so. Well, you
- 25:29Speaker 3: definitely can't tell the story this league without Tommy John.
- 25:32Speaker 2: You know, here's the dual with pictures nowadays.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Two.
- 25:34Speaker 2: If you have two hundred and thirty or two hundred
- 25:36Speaker 2: and forty wins, you're probably going in right because noe
- 25:39Speaker 2: who's gonna win three hundred games anymore? Probably nobody in
- 25:41Speaker 2: the lifetime wins. Yeah, with the way innings are managed now.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Now as a stat because it's kind of team dependent
- 25:48Speaker 1: and all that, and it's kind of you know, guy
- 25:50Speaker 1: with a good bullpen might get a lot of wins.
- 25:52Speaker 2: A guy with a bad bullpen can get screwed out
- 25:54Speaker 2: of win.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Yeah, even to get that made decisions. I mean it's
- 25:57Speaker 3: like Nolan Ryan, Tommy John picially is forty six.
- 26:00Speaker 2: You know, three hundred wins used to be the standard,
- 26:02Speaker 2: but that's long gone now what Verlander is probably the
- 26:04Speaker 2: active leader, right, what does he have arm?
- 26:08Speaker 3: I'll take it well fifty.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I did tell these guys before you mentioned cy Young,
- 26:14Speaker 1: if you ever want to win a bar argument like
- 26:15Speaker 1: who's the best pitcher?
- 26:16Speaker 2: To never win a cy Young Award? That's crazy.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Eleven wins. He never won the cy Young Award. They
- 26:22Speaker 1: named it after him.
- 26:24Speaker 2: That's a good one.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Verlander as two sixty six, so to sixty six, All right,
- 26:29Speaker 3: sures are Garrett Coles sales.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Sure there's a few down from Yeah, they're never gonna
- 26:34Speaker 4: get there. And uh, Verlander hanging it up this year.
- 26:36Speaker 4: He's probably the last of the vintage, like late into
- 26:38Speaker 4: the not late into the forties twenty forty three right now,
- 26:41Speaker 4: and obviously his arm injuries.
- 26:43Speaker 3: Have been a tough one.
- 26:44Speaker 4: I think of, like, the oldest guy I remember playing
- 26:46Speaker 4: baseball was Jamie Moyer.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, forties.
- 26:49Speaker 4: He was like forty eight and still smearingers only through jumps.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I remember Phil Nekro pitching right in
- 26:57Speaker 2: the eighties. I remember coming to a game at County
- 27:00Speaker 2: Stadium where Yankees played the Brewers, and he was on
- 27:03Speaker 2: the mound that night. And I think he was forty
- 27:05Speaker 2: eight or forty nine years old. He pitched it fifty,
- 27:08Speaker 2: didn't Did.
- 27:09Speaker 3: You ever hear the when they introduced they introduced him
- 27:12Speaker 3: to the Hall of Fame, and they kept going through
- 27:14Speaker 3: all the teams he played.
- 27:14Speaker 2: For Funny, that's hilarious.
- 27:17Speaker 4: Other man couldn't hold a job, you know, I don't
- 27:19Speaker 4: know how good a couple on the talking text line,
- 27:21Speaker 4: people clowning us for not thinking of Lombardi Trophy.
- 27:24Speaker 3: Oh no, because we all know who that's the end.
- 27:26Speaker 3: These are ones you forget, that's true. I'm sorry, Okay.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Yeah, doak Walker like, we know that's a good one.
- 27:34Speaker 3: But we did just name off the cy young I guess,
- 27:37Speaker 3: but everyone. Everyone, You're right, Vince Lombardi is the greatest
- 27:41Speaker 3: figure in professional football. People don't think of maybe I'm wrong?
- 27:44Speaker 3: All right?
- 27:44Speaker 2: You mentioned Doak Walker though the College Football Awards. Most
- 27:47Speaker 2: people alive today don't know whose people are Davy O'Brien.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Who's Fred Blitnikoff?
- 27:52Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, Actually, don't talk about number twenty
- 27:56Speaker 4: one smoking SIGs in the tunnel before running out for
- 27:59Speaker 4: the Super Bowl.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I guess stick them.
- 28:02Speaker 3: I know Fred Blein. Okay, fair enough. I like that.
- 28:04Speaker 3: I like that Phil Negro pitched until he was forty eight.
- 28:09Speaker 3: I want to say, while I'm gonna get you, you know
- 28:11Speaker 3: I didn't have a forty eight. Yes, I didn't have
- 28:14Speaker 3: that fact yet? How about ice one.
- 28:16Speaker 1: For Billy with the sweet tooth. German chocolate cake was
- 28:19Speaker 1: not invented in Germany. It was invented by a Texas
- 28:23Speaker 1: homemaker named missus George Clay, who submitted a recipe. And

- 38:37Speaker 4: But there's still a number of players that are available
- 38:39Speaker 4: over on the on the free agent market. I know

- 38:51Speaker 4: a number of guys and guard Kevin Zeitler, whose name
- 38:55Speaker 4: is still you know, floating out there of somebody who
- 38:57Speaker 4: is remaining on send that would be a very very
- 39:00Speaker 4: interesting one of the players that are still sitting out there,
- 39:03Speaker 4: still available if something done go right with your squad
- 39:07Speaker 4: break last in case of emergency, there's some guys out there.
- 39:09Speaker 4: John Smith at tight End I thought, I think a

- 39:17Speaker 4: but any calls made to him. Nagg's mentioned it to
- 39:20Speaker 4: Brian Goodakuns a couple of maybe last week in the
