Speaker 2: his way to Green Bay.
0:22
Speaker 1: It popped into the studio here at headquarters to chop
0:26
Speaker 1: it up with us.
0:26
Speaker 2: Good morning, William, Morning boys. How are we feeling again today? Well,
0:29
Speaker 2: a little tired. You gotta say. Thursday's always hit.
0:32
Speaker 3: You know.
0:32
Speaker 2: It was going to say that we got over the home,
0:34
Speaker 2: no doubt, no doubt feeling it.
0:35
Speaker 1: How are you feeling after an energizing first day of school?
0:39
Speaker 3: Well, it's nice to be able to not have anybody
0:41
Speaker 3: check out due to injury on the first day.
0:43
Speaker 1: So that was that was energizing. That made you feel
0:46
Speaker 1: pretty good. You don't count must grave because that was
0:48
Speaker 1: a pre existing condition.
0:49
Speaker 3: I yeah, once I saw the name on the pup,
0:52
Speaker 3: I just kept that one over into the back it's
0:54
Speaker 3: you drew there. There's so little that actually gets done yesterday,
0:57
Speaker 3: but there's so much excitement about it. But it's it's
1:01
Speaker 3: the first day of school, the best shape of your
1:04
Speaker 3: life season. Everybody was able to show out, and now
1:07
Speaker 3: next week the real real stuff will happen because it's
1:10
Speaker 3: like checkpoints in the video game. This is the easiest one.
1:13
Speaker 3: Now you spelled your name. Now we got to actually
1:15
Speaker 3: start filling out the acy.
1:17
Speaker 2: You got your syllabus now and all the school supplies
1:19
Speaker 2: are fresh.
1:20
Speaker 3: Now we're ready to roll. Yes, no doubt. Last night
1:22
Speaker 3: you could go on drink in. It's syllabus week. You're
1:25
Speaker 3: gonna feel okay. But now we'll get an exam here
1:28
Speaker 3: coming up pretty soon.
1:29
Speaker 2: What jumped off the page to you in terms of
1:31
Speaker 2: just on the field and who you looked at and stuff.
1:33
Speaker 3: I thought Brandon Cis was one of the names right
1:36
Speaker 3: out of the gates. Now I didn't anticipate Keishawn Nixon
1:40
Speaker 3: speaking of the injuries that he was gonna be hamstring
1:43
Speaker 3: or contract itis. I think it's more hamstring, but we'll
1:45
Speaker 3: figure that out. Is sooner rather than later, I guess,
1:48
Speaker 3: because more cornerback deals a lot higher up in the
1:51
Speaker 3: value charts got done yesterday across the NFL, but man
1:56
Speaker 3: Cis got himself into the mix early and thought acclimated
1:59
Speaker 3: himself well. Marlon Jones basically ended the day with what
2:04
Speaker 3: would have been a pick six and a goal line period.
2:06
Speaker 3: He's an undrafted rookie from Vanderbilt. Wayne told his story
2:09
Speaker 3: phenomenal one. Missed an entire year with stage three lymphoma
2:14
Speaker 3: in college and now he's trying to make an NFL team.
2:16
Speaker 3: So those were the small ones. Nothing sadly drew in
2:21
Speaker 3: my favorite neck of the woods. On the offensive line,
2:23
Speaker 3: am I able to really figure out because you know,
2:26
Speaker 3: we're still not hitting anybody.
2:28
Speaker 1: But there were slow playing in on the.
2:31
Speaker 3: Team periods when you see Darian Kinnard, which made some
2:33
Speaker 3: sense in for Zach Tom and Aaron Banks not doing
2:36
Speaker 3: the team period, so we'll slow play in on that.
2:39
Speaker 3: But once once the pads come on, there's no no
2:42
Speaker 3: hiding what you've done in the offseason.
2:44
Speaker 2: This is true. Marshawn Marshawn Lloyd. He got to meet
2:49
Speaker 2: Zaire Franklin. The name tag period, right, That's was that
2:54
Speaker 2: the play that stood out the most?
2:55
Speaker 1: Or were there others? So I know there was a
2:57
Speaker 1: pick six.
2:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jones one was the last one, but the
3:00
Speaker 3: Franklin one probably stands out the most. You're right, I
3:02
Speaker 3: just quick trigger right onto the football. His past coverage
3:06
Speaker 3: was what people kind of doubted early. And you know,
3:09
Speaker 3: I saw Matt Schneidman putting it out and some people
3:12
Speaker 3: kind of clap back at him, and I think he's
3:14
Speaker 3: probably right. Is that you're Franklin. Sure you're year one
3:18
Speaker 3: onto the club, but he's playing such a premier position,
3:21
Speaker 3: drew one that generally you see a C on the
3:24
Speaker 3: on the jersey of a guy like that, and one
3:27
Speaker 3: that is in the middle of a lot of the conversations.
3:29
Speaker 3: And Schneiman put it out, He's like, I think the
3:31
Speaker 3: captains this year are pretty obvious, and putting him right
3:35
Speaker 3: next to Xavier McKinney and Micah Parsons on the defensive
3:37
Speaker 3: side right there. So you gotta you don't have to
3:40
Speaker 3: be one of the best players to hold one of
3:42
Speaker 3: those roles, but you gotta be one of the dudes
3:45
Speaker 3: that everybody looks at and when you're making a couple
3:47
Speaker 3: of plays early, I think there were a lot of
3:49
Speaker 3: people that immediately said, Okay, that's why you traded for
3:52
Speaker 3: him instead of lowering and cutting into your defensive line depth.
3:55
Speaker 1: Any of our media brethren go through any vast changes,
3:59
Speaker 1: any weight losses, weight gains, you know, changes in hairstyles.
4:02
Speaker 1: That's a good question, that's a great question.
4:05
Speaker 3: I need to get over to the to the other
4:07
Speaker 3: side to get to get a better look at that.
4:08
Speaker 3: Rob Reischel dropped a bunch of weight, but he was
4:11
Speaker 3: actually not there. I think yesterday he put out he
4:14
Speaker 3: was he's doing a book and was speaking with Ron
4:17
Speaker 3: Wolf yesterday. So we'll probably get a look over there
4:21
Speaker 3: at at the folks. But today is also going to
4:24
Speaker 3: be when you really get a test to Drew because
4:26
Speaker 3: it's gonna get hot again, like yesterday was welcome back
4:30
Speaker 3: to football. We'll let you wake up with fifty five
4:33
Speaker 3: and a nice little crisp in the air.
4:36
Speaker 1: Woke up this morning.
4:37
Speaker 3: You looked at that weather, you knew it was gonna
4:38
Speaker 3: be eighty seven, and Sonny, you knew that that humidity he.
4:40
Speaker 1: Was going to creep back up.
4:41
Speaker 3: But it's gonna get hot there again coming up in
4:43
Speaker 3: the next couple of days, and this is where it'll
4:45
Speaker 3: really start getting one.
4:46
Speaker 2: Yep, you're about you're going into the mode right now,
4:49
Speaker 2: and people are gonna get people who are in Green
4:51
Speaker 2: Bay and around Camp you get your tunnel vision for sure,
4:55
Speaker 2: like Kurt Hogue, Todd Rosiak, Adam mccalvey, maybe even Hunter Bombguard.
5:01
Speaker 2: They don't have enough, They don't have a lot of
5:03
Speaker 2: bandwidth to be paying a lot of attention to the
5:05
Speaker 2: Packers because they're hard down on the Brewers trade deadline
5:09
Speaker 2: as just you know, people lay people, people who lay
5:12
Speaker 2: on the couch and watch sports. We get to do
5:14
Speaker 2: it all, we get to we have to drink it all.
5:16
Speaker 2: But you're about to go into that bubble. However, I
5:18
Speaker 2: have to ask your thoughts and whether whether young Carson
5:22
Speaker 2: was upset by the Brewers giving up a couple of
5:23
Speaker 2: touchdowns yesterday.
5:25
Speaker 3: I mean, good lord, a thirty game when you can
5:27
Speaker 3: watch the whole thing, you know. Sadly, he decided that
5:31
Speaker 3: he was going to go play legos, and then all
5:32
Speaker 3: of a sudden I looked over and realized that it
5:34
Speaker 3: was tended to we We went and started playing at
5:37
Speaker 3: three to two, and it was a lot different ballgame
5:39
Speaker 3: at that exact moment. But he was actually the sadness
5:45
Speaker 3: quickly turned to excitement and at more than anything. A
5:48
Speaker 3: new player was unlocked yesterday, right like when when you
5:52
Speaker 3: did hit a different mode, you reach a different player.
5:56
Speaker 1: Show have Vaughan was unlocked yesterday.
5:58
Speaker 3: When Andrew Vaughn went pitching, you would have swore it
6:02
Speaker 3: was Christmas morning because then quickly Andrew Vaughn, the hitter
6:06
Speaker 3: that we play, got to be Andrew vaugh the pitcher,
6:08
Speaker 3: and then lead off the next inning.
6:10
Speaker 1: So we had some fun with that with that slide.
6:13
Speaker 4: For the Brewers there, knuckleball to strike out, strike out
6:16
Speaker 4: one of the giants.
6:17
Speaker 1: That one was a messing around too, he was. He
6:19
Speaker 1: buzzed a couple in there too, Yeah, and he was.
6:22
Speaker 1: He was.
6:23
Speaker 4: He seemed to be not happy with himself after a
6:25
Speaker 4: couple of those pitches. He was holding himself to a
6:27
Speaker 4: high standard yesterday in the eighth inning.
6:28
Speaker 3: I like the fact that you're that he's not letting
6:30
Speaker 3: any of that slide, not let any of that kind
6:32
Speaker 3: of stuff slide.
6:35
Speaker 1: He's not in that mode. Golden Spikes winner. He probably
6:37
Speaker 1: was a good pitcher at some point, right like he was.
6:40
Speaker 1: I think they were talking about that at some point
6:42
Speaker 1: in his life.
6:43
Speaker 3: He was probably the dude on the mound while also
6:46
Speaker 3: being the guy that would come in and hit three
6:47
Speaker 3: home runs in the travel ball game, So that would
6:51
Speaker 3: be a little bit. Oh, here we go as a pitcher,
6:53
Speaker 3: seventeen and six record in high school with one hundred
6:56
Speaker 3: and sixty six strikeouts. Oh that ain't bad. Yeah, that
7:01
Speaker 3: that ain't bad. Before he went to gal Berkeley to
7:03
Speaker 3: go play for the Bears. Goodness, gracious, dominant.
7:06
Speaker 2: Uh.
7:07
Speaker 3: The Brewers conversation, Drew, I'll tell you, I mean, it's
7:10
Speaker 3: nice to have the drive, especially when it lines up
7:13
Speaker 3: perfectly with Hunter's pregame shows. Now we'll we'll figure out
7:16
Speaker 3: exactly how to be able to line those all up.
7:19
Speaker 3: But I had a lot of listening yesterday to a
7:21
Speaker 3: lot of trade deadline conversation, a lot of speculation, Jim
7:25
Speaker 3: Bowden saying that he thinks the Brewers are going to
7:27
Speaker 3: get Trek Schogle listing out an offer that I would
7:30
Speaker 3: have sent over immediately if it didn't have to include
7:33
Speaker 3: Andrew Fisher, whenever it was Louis Pania, Brandon Sprout and
7:37
Speaker 3: either Fisher or Harden like those were he put it
7:41
Speaker 3: pen to paper. He said he's good friends with Matt Arnold.
7:43
Speaker 3: Sounds like sounds like Jim Bowden's trying to get that
7:45
Speaker 3: deal done.
7:46
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I was telling Drew in the first hour,
7:48
Speaker 4: like there's too much smoke to this fire for this
7:51
Speaker 4: not to be possible. Now, do I still think it's
7:53
Speaker 4: likely he maybe goes to a Dodgers or some of
7:55
Speaker 4: the other team, probably just based on what we've seen historically,
7:59
Speaker 4: but there's not Usually there's some like, oh yeah, the
8:02
Speaker 4: Brewers could do this, but probably not this year. It's
8:05
Speaker 4: like Passes talking about Bowden talking about it. There's guys
8:08
Speaker 4: that are more talking about this possibility than usual. So
8:12
Speaker 4: I think there's a little more smoke to this fire
8:13
Speaker 4: this year, which makes it a little more possible. Again,
8:16
Speaker 4: do I give it a likely chance? But I think
8:20
Speaker 4: there is too much smoke this year that to for
8:23
Speaker 4: there to be nothing.
8:24
Speaker 1: There And Drew.
8:26
Speaker 3: This is the interesting part because I don't know that
8:27
Speaker 3: the Tigers decided that they were going to trade Trek
8:29
Speaker 3: Scooble until after the ninth inning of their game yesterday,
8:32
Speaker 3: oh my god, or the twelve twelve sorry, yes, twelve sorry,
8:36
Speaker 3: when it was over, when they officially fully blew the
8:38
Speaker 3: seven run lead that they had when he was starting
8:41
Speaker 3: the last home game there, like, I don't know how
8:43
Speaker 3: you don't trade him. As a team that operates in
8:45
Speaker 3: the small market mindset, you gotta trade him if you're
8:48
Speaker 3: seventy games hundred five hundred. But it feels like a
8:50
Speaker 3: lot of the speculation people are just throwing names out
8:53
Speaker 3: there right now. The real conversations, it feels like, are
8:55
Speaker 3: going to start now for schoobl For sure.
8:58
Speaker 2: I was telling Hunter Doug and always said, your team
9:01
Speaker 2: will tell you between the All Star break and the
9:02
Speaker 2: trade deadline. You just watch your team and the team
9:04
Speaker 2: will tell you what you need to do. And they
9:06
Speaker 2: spoke volumes yesterday.
9:07
Speaker 1: That was it.
9:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost a series, They lost a seven to
9:10
Speaker 2: nothing lead with Scooble on the mound at home, at
9:14
Speaker 2: home against the team that's not that great, scrappy but
9:18
Speaker 2: not great. And now they're heading out on a three
9:20
Speaker 2: city West coast trip and he's probably seen Detroit for
9:22
Speaker 2: the last time as a big leaguer.
9:24
Speaker 1: It just it stands reason they're going to trade now.
9:26
Speaker 2: Are the Brewers in the mix to the Dodgers have
9:28
Speaker 2: a better packaged If I'm the Dodgers, though I'm already
9:32
Speaker 2: at dynasty, I'm trying to win three in a row.
9:35
Speaker 2: I'm pretty damn good anyway. Why would I give up
9:38
Speaker 2: assets for a guy that I can get in January,
9:42
Speaker 2: you know, without giving anything up.
9:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, all it costs me is money in four months.
9:45
Speaker 2: All it cost me is like I might have to
9:47
Speaker 2: face him if the Brewers face us, I might have
9:49
Speaker 2: to face him for a game.
9:50
Speaker 1: Like I'm the Dodgers. I'm okay with that.
9:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the Dodgers think that series was
9:54
Speaker 3: a lot further of a distance than the Brewers might,
9:58
Speaker 3: righte like im Averid MRV talk about that and els
10:00
Speaker 3: in the first two games, and if a couple of
10:02
Speaker 3: things go differently, I think the Dodgers probably look at
10:04
Speaker 3: it like, yeah, we did kind of sun those guys
10:06
Speaker 3: with our starting pitching. I don't know that we need
10:07
Speaker 3: to bring in another one. That's just one backpacks, not Young's.
10:10
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:10
Speaker 3: So man, The interesting part from Bowden's conversation yesterday Drew
10:16
Speaker 3: was when he said, I don't have the exact framing,
10:19
Speaker 3: so I don't want to I don't want to say
10:21
Speaker 3: it's like a quote, but he said that Mark Ottnascio
10:24
Speaker 3: has given Matt Arnold the green light, and it.
10:27
Speaker 1: Take on nine million in salary for school ball. We
10:29
Speaker 1: did say that that's it.
10:30
Speaker 3: That's a huge that's a huge statement, right, Like, I mean,
10:32
Speaker 3: that's not just something that you can crowbar in, uh
10:36
Speaker 3: to your budget to have nine million available, And I
10:39
Speaker 3: wonder how much of it is a green light and
10:41
Speaker 3: also a each morning, hey, how are we doing? On
10:43
Speaker 3: those conversations? Where are we at now? Why are we
10:45
Speaker 3: not saving this yet?
10:46
Speaker 2: The breups have operated that way where okay, we'll spend
10:49
Speaker 2: the money because let's face it, you think about Jersey sales,
10:53
Speaker 2: you think about Attendant, they're already doing well at the
10:56
Speaker 2: gate mm hmm, like Hunter, aren't they at like one
10:58
Speaker 2: point eight million for the season.
10:59
Speaker 4: All that sounds right, I mean, it's been really good.
11:02
Speaker 4: And on its face, note, I don't think.
11:04
Speaker 1: They had a game under thirty thousand on that last
11:06
Speaker 1: home stand. In the next two months.
11:08
Speaker 2: I don't think they're not going to go down until
11:10
Speaker 2: Labor Day when it traditionally goes down because of the
11:13
Speaker 2: school bet being back in and life. But if you're
11:17
Speaker 2: playing high leverage games and playing playoff games at home,
11:22
Speaker 2: more revenue, yeah, offsetting, you.
11:23
Speaker 1: Know, correct?
11:24
Speaker 3: So and to quote your favorite movie, if you build it,
11:27
Speaker 3: they will come right like if you if you're in,
11:29
Speaker 3: if you're in legit games and they only have what
11:33
Speaker 3: three home series in September, Yeah, that one I don't
11:36
Speaker 3: They don't even have to worry that much about it.
11:38
Speaker 3: They have so many of them in them in August,
11:40
Speaker 3: and the boost you get if that guy comes in
11:43
Speaker 3: and you're selling twenty I don't know if they're in
11:45
Speaker 3: that twenty nine jersey. Sorry, Tarvor McGill, we might have
11:47
Speaker 3: to have a conversation here. We will move something around.
11:49
Speaker 3: They're selling a bunch of schoopl jerseys and they're selling
11:51
Speaker 3: even more tickets than.
11:52
Speaker 1: They have right now.
11:53
Speaker 4: They'll make that money up quickly. You think mis days
11:55
Speaker 4: are you know, days that everybody wants to get to
11:57
Speaker 4: the park. You bring in schoobl it's gonna be it's
11:59
Speaker 4: gonna be the same. So you're gonna have two days
12:02
Speaker 4: in your and you hope that they land on those
12:04
Speaker 4: home dates, especially in September, but you you bring him
12:08
Speaker 4: in and it's it's that type of attendance exactly. You know,
12:12
Speaker 4: two days out of your theories. If those two are
12:15
Speaker 4: going back to back.
12:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm now maybe I'm just a little
12:17
Speaker 3: too far far ahead on it. I'm already penciling in
12:20
Speaker 3: either Tuesday or Wednesday for his first starts the year
12:24
Speaker 3: gets acquired this weekend. Sure they have a full seven
12:28
Speaker 3: game home stand coming up next week. You start them
12:30
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, you probably can get him again on Sunday
12:32
Speaker 3: to see him, and you can load them up twice.
12:35
Speaker 1: Because that's a huge part of it.
12:37
Speaker 3: This is a seventeen game stretch that you're going into
12:39
Speaker 3: in seventeen days. You need starting pitching and your pullpen.
12:43
Speaker 3: The best thing that they might have is a starter.
12:46
Speaker 3: Seeing the seventh inning for the first time in a
12:47
Speaker 3: couple of weeks would be significant, no question.
12:51
Speaker 1: Now Here.
12:51
Speaker 2: We are focusing on schooble and pitching, and PARTA has
12:54
Speaker 2: been mentioned a lot, and we've talked about Doug Waka
12:57
Speaker 2: and guys like that and venturing guys. Is there a
13:02
Speaker 2: chance they pull the trigger and get a bat?
13:03
Speaker 1: Is there? Do they shock us? The CJ.
13:05
Speaker 2: Abrams thing is fascinating, but they're like, I don't need
13:08
Speaker 2: a short stuff, but if he could play.
13:10
Speaker 1: Third, Yeah, he could play third. If he could play.
13:13
Speaker 2: Third and leave Cooper Pratt where he is and let
13:15
Speaker 2: him continue to develop, Yeah, I figured I had a
13:18
Speaker 2: guy with a thirty home run bat and.
13:20
Speaker 1: One of arguably the best hitters in the National League.
13:23
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, the way he's taken off this year
13:26
Speaker 3: has been just next level and.
13:29
Speaker 2: In theory though as as dizzying as it is, like
13:32
Speaker 2: oh scoobl and miss like one two, let's go, Like
13:35
Speaker 2: you know, you start out at least one on one
13:37
Speaker 2: in a playoff series, right, and maybe even two and zero.
13:40
Speaker 2: But having a guy plays every day, yes, correct, and
13:43
Speaker 2: plays and gets like five at bats a game, as
13:46
Speaker 2: doesn't that impact things more?
13:48
Speaker 3: And especially because I think that I usually the hitter
13:51
Speaker 3: market's less, right, Usually you have to pay less for
13:53
Speaker 3: the hitters. I think you might have to pay more
13:55
Speaker 3: this year for the hitters because there's just not there's
13:57
Speaker 3: not many of them, but Abrams, Like I was having
14:00
Speaker 3: this conversation with a friend yesterday and his head was
14:03
Speaker 3: spinning with how much he loved Luisa rise Right. Okay,
14:07
Speaker 3: now understandabself puts the bad on the baseball every single
14:10
Speaker 3: time he's won three batting titles. He's like, I don't
14:12
Speaker 3: care make him play third base. I also think you
14:15
Speaker 3: have a couple of wild chess pieces that if it
14:17
Speaker 3: was a Rise, who right now is playing damn near
14:19
Speaker 3: gold glove second base. Yeah, his defense is really his
14:22
Speaker 3: numbers are phenomenal right now. His defense has been way
14:25
Speaker 3: better this year. Or if it's Abrams, or if it
14:29
Speaker 3: would be a guy over at third last year, it
14:31
Speaker 3: felt like you were crow barring and had to lock
14:33
Speaker 3: in somebody over at third base. That's why Suarez continue
14:36
Speaker 3: to have the name, and the thirty five home runs
14:38
Speaker 3: didn't hurt. But I think their ability to move anybody
14:41
Speaker 3: around the diamond. Correct me if I'm wrong, Hunter, Like,
14:43
Speaker 3: I mean sure, I know the spring training deal with
14:46
Speaker 3: terrang over at second or at shortstop two years ago,
14:49
Speaker 3: we didn't love. Seemed like they were gonna come and
14:51
Speaker 3: potentially go back to him again over there. Like, I
14:54
Speaker 3: think they have enough guys that could move necessarily and
14:57
Speaker 3: still be way above average defenders that but if they
15:00
Speaker 3: went off offense, I think they could move them around
15:03
Speaker 3: in that infield.
15:04
Speaker 1: They could, they could. I think their versatile.
15:07
Speaker 4: I do think you want to be careful with that
15:09
Speaker 4: with Pratt in your first few months in the big leagues,
15:11
Speaker 4: you know, changing positions just because he has played pretty
15:14
Speaker 4: good shorts time. He is a really good defender though,
15:16
Speaker 4: so if you move him over there, I have no
15:18
Speaker 4: doubt that he could he could be good, but you
15:20
Speaker 4: also don't want to then all of a sudden his
15:22
Speaker 4: bat goes down from what he's produced over his first
15:24
Speaker 4: month and a half in the big leagues.
15:26
Speaker 1: But that is that is possible.
15:28
Speaker 4: And look, if you get one of those guys, you're
15:29
Speaker 4: going to find a way to play them. Whether that's
15:32
Speaker 4: you know, you'd love to use that DH spot, but
15:34
Speaker 4: it's it's held by Jelich, And I know that's a
15:36
Speaker 4: conversation that obviously you're going to keep that guy in
15:39
Speaker 4: the lineup pretty much no matter what, whether it's maybe
15:42
Speaker 4: there's a few more days off down the stretch to
15:44
Speaker 4: keep him healthy or something like that. I think Abrams
15:47
Speaker 4: maybe fits a little more over there at third base
15:49
Speaker 4: if you do that. But and he also has some
15:52
Speaker 4: control pass this year, which is different than Schooble, different
15:55
Speaker 4: than a Peralta, different some of the other of these
15:57
Speaker 4: guys that are that are rental. But I still lean
16:00
Speaker 4: towards them probably getting pitching. But there is an argument
16:05
Speaker 4: to be made when you look at two for fourteen
16:07
Speaker 4: with runners in scoring position yesterday getting shut out two
16:09
Speaker 4: of the last two times in the last week. There
16:12
Speaker 4: is an argument to be made that there maybe a
16:15
Speaker 4: bat could be needed. C. J.
16:17
Speaker 3: Abrams is tantalizing. He is not only because also he
16:20
Speaker 3: looks like Davante Adams.
16:21
Speaker 1: He does, That's a really good comparison.
16:24
Speaker 3: Looks like Devonte Adams in the batter's box and just
16:27
Speaker 3: looks like a dude that dominated just about every single
16:29
Speaker 3: game he ever played, whether it was basketball at recess,
16:32
Speaker 3: football in Pee Wee's, or every single baseball game that
16:37
Speaker 3: he was ever in. He he just looks the part.
16:39
Speaker 3: He was one of the better players ever dealt at
16:40
Speaker 3: the deadline. He was the centerpiece of the Soto package
16:44
Speaker 3: at the deadline a couple of years ago that the
16:46
Speaker 3: Padres sent over. And you know, speaking of the Padre,
16:49
Speaker 3: seems like the Mason Miller n conversation has kind of
16:51
Speaker 3: cooled off.
16:52
Speaker 1: Has definitely has won.
16:55
Speaker 4: They've won five in a row. I mean, even the
16:57
Speaker 4: Nationals are two out of a playoff spot right now,
17:00
Speaker 4: two games out of a playoff spot. And I heard
17:01
Speaker 4: their GM talking the other day after they made the
17:03
Speaker 4: deal and traded meat and Curtis meat Away, who then
17:07
Speaker 4: got hurt and might be out for the year after
17:09
Speaker 4: one game with the Red Sox, which is unebelievable, Like,
17:12
Speaker 4: that's that's obviously the Yeah, that's obviously the very you know,
17:15
Speaker 4: that's the risk you have there. But he was basically like, yeah,
17:19
Speaker 4: we believe in this team, and look, if you get
17:21
Speaker 4: a crazy offer for Abrams, maybe you entertain it. But
17:24
Speaker 4: I don't know that that team's got a young core,
17:26
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't necessarily want to be trading away those
17:29
Speaker 4: guys right now that this is this is kind of
17:31
Speaker 4: what you've built for if you're in the Nationals, not
17:33
Speaker 4: this year, but in coming years, and I don't know
17:35
Speaker 4: if i'd want to necessarily give away those guys now.
17:37
Speaker 3: I also wonder how much and the salary cap possibility,
17:42
Speaker 3: and I think it's a small possible, very small possibility.
17:45
Speaker 3: I don't know that it's impacting how teams are necessarily
17:48
Speaker 3: looking at it in terms of like if I but
17:51
Speaker 3: if I acquire a guy who's got one year of
17:53
Speaker 3: control left, and I'm thinking like a Joe Ryan right now,
17:56
Speaker 3: I don't think Minnesota's trading them because they also have
17:58
Speaker 3: started to catch fire a little bit with the Twins.
18:02
Speaker 3: You're looking at it like, Okay, I'm thirty starts from
18:04
Speaker 3: him next year, then all of a sudden, I get
18:07
Speaker 3: twelve starts from him next year. I do not necessarily
18:09
Speaker 3: matter because everybody's only playing that fewer of games, but
18:12
Speaker 3: I do wonder how many teams are looking at it
18:15
Speaker 3: in a weird way of what kind of value does
18:18
Speaker 3: next year actually bring me? Or if that's Matt reaching
18:22
Speaker 3: into the thought process at all. I struggle to think
18:24
Speaker 3: it doesn't. But I don't know how you can like
18:27
Speaker 3: change your activity.
18:29
Speaker 4: Because of it, right, We'll no event like there'll be
18:32
Speaker 4: articles written in books written about how maybe you know,
18:35
Speaker 4: looking back, Okay, yeah, we may made this move because
18:38
Speaker 4: of this, And I don't know if this is necessarily
18:40
Speaker 4: you make or don't make a move because of it.
18:42
Speaker 4: But I'm maybe it's in the back of our, back
18:44
Speaker 4: of the executive's minds more than we may think. I
18:47
Speaker 4: saw it written in the Ken Rosenthal put out. I
18:50
Speaker 4: think it was Ken Rosenthal's in the Athletic that they're like, well,
18:53
Speaker 4: maybe maybe some gms want to make moves because they
18:56
Speaker 4: can be a World Series champion for more than a
18:58
Speaker 4: year because if is not a season next year, And
19:01
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't necessarily think they're gonna make.
19:03
Speaker 1: The longest rating Champa. That's what I'm talking about.
19:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like that was actually written in an article.
19:12
Speaker 4: Like really, I'm like, wow, Okay, that's great.
19:17
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's big dobs that you can get
19:19
Speaker 3: if you continue to let me.
19:20
Speaker 4: That's what we were, grandkids. We were the World Series
19:23
Speaker 4: champions for the longest ever. Because there wasn't a season
19:26
Speaker 4: in twenty seven.
19:26
Speaker 3: That would almost be like the but we'd have our
19:29
Speaker 3: own you'd have your own land, right like now. The
19:32
Speaker 3: thing with the Bucks is it was pushed back a
19:34
Speaker 3: little bit. They're not playing the they're not playing the
19:37
Speaker 3: World Series in the middle of November, so we're not
19:39
Speaker 3: just gonna have like that one territory that's only gonna
19:41
Speaker 3: be ours and that one date.
19:42
Speaker 1: But that is fun. That is a fun thing to
19:44
Speaker 1: think about. Okay, I like that be could be, could be.
19:48
Speaker 2: Oh, we're having some fun now. Eight seven, seven, seven, nine,
19:51
Speaker 2: one ninety seven to three. Billy dropping in on his
19:55
Speaker 2: way to Green Bay, picking up that vehicle. Smooth drive
19:57
Speaker 2: up forty three yesterday.
19:58
Speaker 3: Very smooth, A little bit scarier when I realized that
20:01
Speaker 3: I forgot to bring a table for Wayne and I
20:03
Speaker 3: to do the broadcast on. Luckily are absolute dominant friends
20:08
Speaker 3: like Scott and Shannon over from one O six to one.
20:09
Speaker 3: And that vehicle already had one already dummy proofed that
20:13
Speaker 3: car for me, so it was clean in and out,
20:17
Speaker 3: and I'm expecting another beautiful one here.
20:18
Speaker 2: Today, my best friend I forty three outstanding. We're gonna
20:21
Speaker 2: take a quick break. When we come back, we'll do
20:22
Speaker 2: some Who's Hot Who's not? Brought to us by Donovan
20:25
Speaker 2: and Jorgensen. That lies ahead, and you are in the huddle.
20:29
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Huddled up on a Thursday, Drew
20:32
Speaker 2: Hunter and Billy the lineup today. Arman out for the weekend,
20:36
Speaker 2: South Beast, Sorry, and going to a wedding in DC
20:38
Speaker 2: for his cousin traveling today. Hope he's having a good trip,
20:43
Speaker 2: taking the Youngster and the plight on the flight.
20:45
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I feel so bad for those two girls.
20:48
Speaker 3: Can you imagine Arman with all those historical landmarks telling
20:52
Speaker 3: you about every single different thing that's happened around and near.
20:56
Speaker 2: That Arman is the Smithsonian, except oh my gosh, you
20:59
Speaker 2: know he's he's actually around historical things, not just the
21:02
Speaker 2: ninety three Eastern Conference.
21:04
Speaker 1: Fine.
21:04
Speaker 3: You know, funny thing actually here about the Washington Monument
21:06
Speaker 3: is George Thompson, after he played a marquette, actually came
21:08
Speaker 3: here and get and watched it and took four pictures
21:11
Speaker 3: in front of it, right here, right by that step.
21:13
Speaker 3: Like I can only imagine the kind of step home
21:15
Speaker 3: coming out of his page.
21:16
Speaker 2: The Nicolay Lotta I'm talking textent eight seven seven seven
21:19
Speaker 2: nine seven three gets you in time for a little
21:22
Speaker 2: Who's Hot Who's Not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
21:25
Speaker 2: We've been talking about it, like obviously the Tigers.
21:29
Speaker 1: Not hot, no no, no, no, no, no puking away
21:32
Speaker 1: games after the seventh inning.
21:33
Speaker 2: Uh, they're lost yesterday a statement loss that is that
21:38
Speaker 2: is a glaring neon sign that they need to trade
21:40
Speaker 2: their ace. When you lose a seven nothing lead in
21:42
Speaker 2: which he pitched in what many anticipated, might you got
21:46
Speaker 2: a big ovation. Might be his last game in front
21:48
Speaker 2: of the home crowd at CA America Park. You're playing
21:50
Speaker 2: the Ools, you're up seven to nothing, and then you
21:53
Speaker 2: end up losing in twelve innings. Well, it was like
21:56
Speaker 2: the oil's biggest comeback and I don't know.
21:57
Speaker 1: Thirty I was gonna say, like three decades something.
22:01
Speaker 3: And for the Tigers, they now sit at fifty one
22:04
Speaker 3: fifty eight, six games back of the AL Central, which
22:08
Speaker 3: has never been a murderers row. They're four and a
22:10
Speaker 3: half games out of a wild card, but they got
22:12
Speaker 3: a leap one, two, three, four, five different teams to
22:15
Speaker 3: get in there, so you would anticipate they are going
22:18
Speaker 3: to be on the selling block. But apparently drew in
22:21
Speaker 3: the who's hot category. We got managers managers are hot
22:24
Speaker 3: letting everybody know about what they think on the deadline
22:28
Speaker 3: because we heard Bryce Harper talk.
22:29
Speaker 1: About what he thinks that does the Phillies need.
22:32
Speaker 3: I learned this, uh yesterday on my window time or
22:36
Speaker 3: on my windshield time. I didn't know Don Mattingley's son
22:39
Speaker 3: is the GM of the Phillies. What so somebody check
22:46
Speaker 3: that on me because Dave Dombrowski is the President of
22:48
Speaker 3: Baseball Operation, so he's actually calling the shots. Don Maddingly,
22:53
Speaker 3: interim manager for the Phillies, was elevated after they fire
22:56
Speaker 3: Rob Thompson. His son is the GM.
22:58
Speaker 1: Okay, that does ring a bell?
23:00
Speaker 4: So then Bryce Harper make it like I mean, make decisions.
23:04
Speaker 1: But but.
23:09
Speaker 3: Preston maddingly gets gets all the information and then has
23:13
Speaker 3: to let Dave Dombrowski make the pet Paul. But Dave
23:16
Speaker 3: Dombrowski said it earlier in the year, Bryce Harper, I mean, listen,
23:19
Speaker 3: he's not an elite player anymore.
23:21
Speaker 1: We we watch it. We we just saw it. Last year.
23:23
Speaker 3: What he did was not an elite player. So this
23:25
Speaker 3: year Bryce Harper is like, well, we need help. We
23:27
Speaker 3: need like two or three guys at least. I mean,
23:28
Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody's watching up there. The last
23:31
Speaker 3: ten he's like, we need help. Uh, And then Don
23:34
Speaker 3: Maddingly he's like, I wish our players would just shut
23:36
Speaker 3: the hell up. I wish maybe we'd let everybody do
23:39
Speaker 3: their own job and focus on their own their own deal.
23:41
Speaker 3: So we got some good back and forth. Drough stay
23:44
Speaker 3: in Yo lane is hot right now. LeVar Balls statement
23:48
Speaker 3: would be right in there. But then you know, Aaron
23:50
Speaker 3: Boone last night said, Hey, I'm sending my quote little
23:53
Speaker 3: thought bubbles lot bubbles up to the front office, and
23:57
Speaker 3: apparently one of my thought bubbles had David Bennar in
23:59
Speaker 3: the last year, so I might have some I might
24:02
Speaker 3: have some really good thought bubbles. Aaron Boone, let everybody
24:04
Speaker 3: know managers are hot, letting everybody know that they can
24:07
Speaker 3: make some decisions as well. And sadly, the San Francisco
24:10
Speaker 3: Giants bats got hot yesterday as they placed seven in
24:12
Speaker 3: the sixth inning and Aaron Ashby finds himself back in
24:16
Speaker 3: the not category. That's a tough that's a tough time
24:20
Speaker 3: to come in. That's a tough tough assignment to come
24:22
Speaker 3: in first and third, nobody out. But then when you
24:25
Speaker 3: bring all of the petroleum and just light the mound
24:27
Speaker 3: on fire makes it a little bit more difficult. With
24:30
Speaker 3: five runs, only four of those earned towards Aaron Ashby
24:34
Speaker 3: in that blow up touchdown, and an extra point six
24:37
Speaker 3: inning that the Giants put up here.
24:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, six, That is who's hot, who's not? Brought just
24:42
Speaker 2: by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling, and they're always hot,
24:45
Speaker 2: even though it's hot outside.
24:46
Speaker 3: They're trying to keep you cool and they're they're hot.
24:49
Speaker 3: Doing it over at Donovan Jorgenson doctri.
24:50
Speaker 2: Trusted HVAC Repair, Installation and Maintenance since nineteen eighty five,
24:54
Speaker 2: employee owned. Check them out at Donovan Jorgenson dot com.
24:58
Speaker 2: All right, Billy to packers, for a second.
25:01
Speaker 1: Come on, let's do it.
25:02
Speaker 3: Uh.
25:03
Speaker 1: Did Tyrod Taylor have any highlights? Did he anything noticeable?
25:06
Speaker 1: A couple of a couple of little scrambles.
25:09
Speaker 3: There was a nice throw into the back of the
25:10
Speaker 3: end zone if I'm not mistaken to one of the
25:13
Speaker 3: tight ends, Josh Wiley, but you know, Drew the The
25:17
Speaker 3: interesting thing in the team periods yesterday is perfect because
25:20
Speaker 3: they were working in some kind of red zone right
25:23
Speaker 3: near in front of us. It was a lot of
25:25
Speaker 3: play action pass under center. Play action pass looked a
25:29
Speaker 3: lot of what I think Packers fans want the Packers
25:32
Speaker 3: offense to look like and what we thought it kind
25:34
Speaker 3: of looks like a little bit less gun than we
25:37
Speaker 3: saw at a lot of times last year.
25:39
Speaker 1: Just looked normal.
25:41
Speaker 3: It looked looked like a guy going into his sixteenth
25:44
Speaker 3: NFL season, but does looked a part as him and
25:49
Speaker 3: him and Jordan Love were strolling down, I thought in
25:51
Speaker 3: the quarterback room, Drew the one that was commanding, and
25:55
Speaker 3: hopefully so Jordan Love just again looks as calm, cool
25:59
Speaker 3: and collected and is in charge of that football team
26:01
Speaker 3: as you possibly can have. That's key preparing for year
26:04
Speaker 3: seven in the NFL it's it's not a surprise, but
26:09
Speaker 3: he continues to grow more into not just I think
26:11
Speaker 3: the quarterback of the team, but the full on leader
26:14
Speaker 3: of the team. He has he's got a great pulse
26:17
Speaker 3: on it. And I thought one of the other guys
26:19
Speaker 3: that you know, I a little more reserved and doing
26:23
Speaker 3: it because all last year we kept talking about him.
26:24
Speaker 3: But Matthew Golden, he made a bunch of different plays
26:27
Speaker 3: yesterday and it feels like in that way of offense,
26:31
Speaker 3: that style of offense, Wayne and I were talking about it,
26:33
Speaker 3: the shallow crossers, the deep crossers, off play action.
26:37
Speaker 1: That's where you can really take advantage of the speed.
26:39
Speaker 1: They have it wide out.
26:40
Speaker 3: With Golden, Watson, A and Reed, but most importantly Matthew Golden,
26:44
Speaker 3: who can just straight fly.
26:46
Speaker 2: Is it too elementary to say, like we do in baseball,
26:50
Speaker 2: that pitchers are always ahead of the hitters, that defense
26:52
Speaker 2: is usually ahead of the offense. It's true though that
26:56
Speaker 2: usually that tracks right, yeah, across all football, like even
26:59
Speaker 2: heist school, offense is trying to work out the kanks
27:03
Speaker 2: and defense is just going and getting it lightened guys up,
27:06
Speaker 2: especially in the underwear.
27:07
Speaker 3: Yes, and that was always one of my favorite conversations.
27:09
Speaker 3: Coaching ball was when Roc would look at us and hey,
27:13
Speaker 3: we're gonna get our lunch taken today, but we got
27:15
Speaker 3: to make sure that we're talking. We gotta we got
27:16
Speaker 3: to make sure our kids are are are positive because
27:18
Speaker 3: it's not going to look good for us here on
27:20
Speaker 3: the second day in pads. But it's good to see
27:23
Speaker 3: when at least your defense is brand new, right like
27:25
Speaker 3: that didn't that doesn't catch it up or slow it down. Uh,
27:29
Speaker 3: offense will get caught up. There's a lot of moving
27:32
Speaker 3: parts to it, but they also have still I mean
27:35
Speaker 3: a lot of in and out right. Tucker Craft is
27:37
Speaker 3: going to come off the pup soon, he's not yet
27:40
Speaker 3: right like especially into the team periods too. Zach Tom's
27:43
Speaker 3: out there, I wasn't doing team. Aaron Banks is out there,
27:46
Speaker 3: wasn't doing team. So I think I think the cautious
27:49
Speaker 3: approach with some of those guys maybe picks the offense
27:52
Speaker 3: back up a little bit.
27:53
Speaker 1: But yes, it's it is a tale as old as time.
27:56
Speaker 3: The first week defense dominates and that's when everybody starts wondering,
28:00
Speaker 3: are we any good?
28:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't score against this defense.
28:03
Speaker 3: Is it gonna look like thirty some points of the
28:05
Speaker 3: Bears last year, Drew, How on earth are we going
28:06
Speaker 3: to score points against anybody?
28:08
Speaker 2: What about watching Jonathan Gannon go about it? Like you know,
28:12
Speaker 2: you knew right away that Jeff Halfley was high energy
28:14
Speaker 2: and like everybody reads the body language and I don't know,
28:17
Speaker 2: especially like the Railbirds and stuff. When you're watching, you
28:20
Speaker 2: want to see a coach that's out there and energetic
28:22
Speaker 2: and pumping guys up and yelling a lot.
28:24
Speaker 1: That's his coaching, Like they all have their own.
28:26
Speaker 2: Styles, right, Yes, And for a guy who went from
28:29
Speaker 2: a head coach where you're probably a little bit more
28:31
Speaker 2: reserved to a coordinator where you're more hands on.
28:33
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, what was that dynamic?
28:35
Speaker 3: Like? Well, admittedly, so I didn't get to see enough
28:37
Speaker 3: of it. So I brought the Baknox today. Now I
28:40
Speaker 3: got big knock energy here today to make sure that
28:42
Speaker 3: not energy, to make sure that I'm getting.
28:44
Speaker 1: All those details, Drew.
28:45
Speaker 3: Because I had a feeling that question was gonna come,
28:47
Speaker 3: and I was kind of thinking about him, like I
28:49
Speaker 3: think I saw I saw him a couple of times.
28:51
Speaker 3: I definitely know I did, but I didn't get a
28:53
Speaker 3: good enough view on who he was working with. How
28:56
Speaker 3: they were working. They're off more to the left where
28:59
Speaker 3: we are on the perch, but we gotta make sure
29:01
Speaker 3: that we know. We got to see how he's doing it,
29:03
Speaker 3: because you're right, Jeff Hafley immediately got a lot of
29:07
Speaker 3: father in law is very excited. Like the high energy,
29:10
Speaker 3: screaming cussin. You could see a little bit of red
29:14
Speaker 3: turn up on the forehead, not sunburned variety, that was
29:17
Speaker 3: just pure energy and enthusiasm. So he got a lot
29:21
Speaker 3: of fans early gannon Is. I think they're gonna see
29:26
Speaker 3: a lot more of what he does on how the
29:29
Speaker 3: defense lines up, and that's that's where you're starting to
29:31
Speaker 3: see quickly they're gonna be rather multiple and how many
29:35
Speaker 3: either maybe even three edge rushers on the field at
29:38
Speaker 3: one time, right, Like how much you're gonna see Eddrian
29:41
Speaker 3: Cooper lining up on the line of scrimmage. I think
29:43
Speaker 3: that's where we'll see a little bit more of it.
29:45
Speaker 3: But I got I got the binnox to get a
29:46
Speaker 3: better look at it. I did get a nice little
29:48
Speaker 3: look at our boy, denied Dennis Sutton though yesterday twentieth
29:51
Speaker 3: pick of the fourth round looks the part, Yeah, looks
29:54
Speaker 3: the parts getting off the bus.
29:56
Speaker 1: Looks good getting off the bus.
29:57
Speaker 3: They got a lot of good guys getting off the
29:59
Speaker 3: bus us in that linebacker room, but he was quickly
30:03
Speaker 3: finding his way in alongside Lucas van Ness, who was
30:06
Speaker 3: was the first one in Baron Surrell. Looks a little
30:09
Speaker 3: slim down, look good over there in those drills as well.
30:12
Speaker 3: So next week during one on ones, that's when the proofer,
30:16
Speaker 3: that's when we really get to start seeing it. If
30:19
Speaker 3: fifty one gets stoned up by Jordan Morgan, we might
30:22
Speaker 3: be talking about Pro Bowl over there for number babies.
30:26
Speaker 2: Definite, maybe Billy's definite. Maybe definite. Maybe is it a
30:30
Speaker 2: definite no? When you saw Taysom Hills letter to the
30:34
Speaker 2: fans and New Orleans.
30:36
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that would definitely be a definite no no
30:40
Speaker 3: like Nags No, yeah no.
30:41
Speaker 1: But congratulations to him.
30:43
Speaker 3: I mean, how many people would have thought when they
30:45
Speaker 3: cut him on that random last day of camp that
30:48
Speaker 3: he was going to be a nine year NFL VET
30:50
Speaker 3: in one of fantasy football's biggest nightmares, because you never
30:55
Speaker 3: knew where.
30:55
Speaker 1: To line him up.
30:56
Speaker 3: You never knew if you could actually put him into
30:57
Speaker 3: your tight end spot. You didn't know if you had
30:59
Speaker 3: to play him as a quarterback? Could you run him
31:01
Speaker 3: as a flex even if your team, if your league
31:03
Speaker 3: wasn't allowing quarterback flexes, he was.
31:06
Speaker 1: He's a problem for fantasy football leagues. I don't know that.
31:09
Speaker 3: Maybe he gets another shot somewhere, maybe in Denver, maybe
31:13
Speaker 3: he goes and teams up with Sean Payton one more time.
31:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, I doesn't see that.
31:17
Speaker 3: I can imagine Sean Payton was wishing he had Taysom
31:19
Speaker 3: Hill instead of Jared Stindham last year during the AFC
31:21
Speaker 3: title Game.
31:22
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you imagine that one? How history
31:25
Speaker 1: might have been different?
31:26
Speaker 3: Fun.
31:27
Speaker 4: The interesting part about that was the team put out
31:29
Speaker 4: the statement. Usually the players if they're not you know, hey,
31:32
Speaker 4: you know I'm not I'm not going to return to
31:34
Speaker 4: New Orleans thinking the Saints were the ones from him. Obviously, yeah,
31:38
Speaker 4: he wrote it, but it was just an interesting way
31:40
Speaker 4: of doing that. I'm like, at first, I'm like, oh,
31:42
Speaker 4: he must be retiring because it's coming from the Saints,
31:46
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, he's just not returning there and
31:49
Speaker 4: it's coming from the team. So it's just really that
31:52
Speaker 4: was an interesting one.
31:52
Speaker 1: It's almost like a why don't you fill this out?
31:55
Speaker 1: And we'll let you know. Man, we're just gonna make
31:57
Speaker 1: it sound like it, right, how much of it like
32:00
Speaker 1: retirement statement, we can possibly make it sound like. But
32:03
Speaker 1: I don't know what's next. I don't know what's next.
32:05
Speaker 1: See don't know, don't know. We'll see if my agent
32:08
Speaker 1: gets any calls. Do you think he would get some calls?
32:11
Speaker 1: Do you think people would try that? I don't know, man.
32:14
Speaker 1: I mean that that big.
32:16
Speaker 3: Player feels it could work in the world of the
32:20
Speaker 3: tush push.
32:21
Speaker 1: But Brooks was ten years younger.
32:23
Speaker 2: Would people be calling on him because because of the
32:26
Speaker 2: novelty aspect of it?
32:27
Speaker 1: Right?
32:28
Speaker 3: Oh, I would have Oh my gosh, I'd have been
32:33
Speaker 3: all over it. I'd have been all over Brooks. That
32:36
Speaker 3: is one that's one take on these airwaves. Drew that
32:38
Speaker 3: I'm not letting die. I'm not letting my show.
32:41
Speaker 4: Hayo.
32:42
Speaker 3: Tani is going to change baseball to the point where,
32:44
Speaker 3: like in fifteen twenty years, everybody's gonna have a guy
32:46
Speaker 3: that can pitch and hit just because simply because of
32:49
Speaker 3: the roster manipulation. Like Craig Council was pointing it.
32:52
Speaker 4: Out, Yeah, we were making rules up apparently was making
32:55
Speaker 4: a rule for them.
32:56
Speaker 1: Just make rules for them.
32:57
Speaker 3: So we gotta find we either got to find somebody.
33:00
Speaker 3: But it was rather dismissive of just how dominant and
33:03
Speaker 3: great show Heyo Tony was. But I do believe people
33:05
Speaker 3: are gonna try. No one's gonna find another show. Hey,
33:09
Speaker 3: people are gonna have a lot of Kirkland brand show
33:11
Speaker 3: show hayes who are coming in here and hitting two
33:14
Speaker 3: forty and maybe throwing a sub four era.
33:17
Speaker 1: You don't need some Kirkland brand. You need some Iron Jock.
33:20
Speaker 2: Billy's wearing his today because he's going up and it's
33:22
Speaker 2: going to be hot at practice now through the weekend.
33:24
Speaker 2: Fifty percent off all Iron Jock large logo hoodies and tees.
33:27
Speaker 2: Fifty percent off the code Butch fifty.
33:31
Speaker 1: That's the best code.
33:32
Speaker 2: Polar Bears Iron Jock. You know it, you love it.
33:35
Speaker 2: If you've been listening to us for any length of time,
33:37
Speaker 2: you probably own some gear already. You know how good
33:39
Speaker 2: it is. Four way stretch, moisture wicking, anti static, and
33:42
Speaker 2: of course silver iron technology that takes away the bacteria
33:44
Speaker 2: that causes clothes to stink. You can wear them multiple
33:46
Speaker 2: days in a row of socks. You underwear it. They're
33:48
Speaker 2: all fantastic part of our wardrobe.
33:51
Speaker 1: We wear it every day.
33:51
Speaker 2: Ironjoc dot com Butch fifty large logo hoodies and Te's
33:55
Speaker 2: Butch fifty to fifty percent off.
33:58
Speaker 3: It blows my mind, Drew every single time I know
34:00
Speaker 3: it's about to happen. But yesterday I'm just dripping stains
34:04
Speaker 3: all over the place. We hit the air at eleven
34:06
Speaker 3: and I'm fresh as a daisy. Thank you, Iron Jock.
34:08
Speaker 3: Are you go crazy? How quickly it happens?
34:10
Speaker 1: Fantastic?
34:10
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna be back. Billy is hanging out
34:12
Speaker 2: with us before he hits the road. And did you
34:15
Speaker 2: stop at a quick Trip on the way did you
34:17
Speaker 2: have to get gas in the vehicle?
34:18
Speaker 3: I had to get gas in me as in Cafe
34:22
Speaker 3: Karuba coffee, and then on the way home some quick
34:25
Speaker 3: trip gas was fired into that excellent.
34:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, our Belgium Quick trip's doing good. That's our spot.
34:31
Speaker 1: Glad you could check on it.
34:32
Speaker 3: I had to make sure it was doing good, had
34:34
Speaker 3: to make sure it was doing all right.
34:35
Speaker 1: Sure it's ready for our season runs better, believe it.
34:38
Speaker 3: The showers were being operated to yesterday, aware we go,
34:41
Speaker 3: making sure they were getting fresh in the afternoon.
34:43
Speaker 1: Standing outstanding. Billy is in on his way to Green Bay.
34:46
Speaker 1: Hunter's in for arm and I'm Drew.
34:47
Speaker 2: You're listening to the huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew,
34:50
Speaker 2: Billy and Hunters bringing it to you.
34:51
Speaker 1: Billy's a short timer.
34:53
Speaker 2: He's got to hit the road and get ready to
34:54
Speaker 2: go to practice and be ready for Training Camp live,
34:56
Speaker 2: which airs from eleven to one on many of these
34:58
Speaker 2: year airways and interwebs. You and Wayne Larvy chopping it
35:01
Speaker 2: up from the perch as the Packers have day two
35:04
Speaker 2: of Training Camp twenty twenty.
35:05
Speaker 3: Six, and we get to see some more Jordan Love
35:07
Speaker 3: deep balls to Jaden Reid and Christian Watson and maybe
35:11
Speaker 3: Drew maybe Tray smack kicking balls for the first time. Now.
35:14
Speaker 3: I don't know that Matt Orzick long snapper deal that
35:17
Speaker 3: maybe that completely precludes them from him. But I want
35:21
Speaker 3: to see Lenny Krieg and Trey Smackett out there and
35:23
Speaker 3: you know, do a little four ball.
35:25
Speaker 2: We always talk about this about like who's the emergency catcher,
35:28
Speaker 2: Who's the emergency long snapper?
35:29
Speaker 1: Is it Sean Ryan by default? That's a good question.
35:32
Speaker 3: I guess we learned that yesterday, right, kind of looked
35:35
Speaker 3: like it now did appear like Sean's got some long
35:38
Speaker 3: snap years of experience. But as big guys know, that's
35:43
Speaker 3: like a that's a really awkward hold of your arms
35:46
Speaker 3: when you moved through and then they got things locked
35:49
Speaker 3: up and shoulders point wrapped up. You don't have nearly
35:53
Speaker 3: as good an arm extension as you think you do
35:54
Speaker 3: when you're going down to try to long snap. But
35:57
Speaker 3: for field goals, would he would definitely have to. I
35:59
Speaker 3: think on fourth down maybe they're just Jordan, I'm mov
36:03
Speaker 3: throw one of them arm punts?
36:05
Speaker 1: Is there? Is it even possible? Could anybody long snap
36:08
Speaker 1: and use the one arm approach? A graft question too? Mechanically,
36:13
Speaker 1: it would be harder to get the spin. It would
36:14
Speaker 1: be really tough with the spin.
36:16
Speaker 3: I wonder if Jamie Cole of the Coles kicking camp,
36:19
Speaker 3: I wonder if he would have anything games a Wisconsin guy.
36:22
Speaker 1: I wonder if they would.
36:23
Speaker 3: That's part of their like training module though as some
36:26
Speaker 3: particular point, because I mean, he's he's put a bunch
36:28
Speaker 3: of guys into the into the league. And now one
36:30
Speaker 3: of our guys from Arrowhead, Kyler Farrow, is over at
36:33
Speaker 3: South Carolina.
36:34
Speaker 1: Now, uh, trained with with Jamie Cole, So I don't
36:37
Speaker 1: know that you'd be able to fully, but damn some
36:40
Speaker 1: of these guys are so strong they'd be able to. Well.
36:43
Speaker 3: I mean, this is also a good conversation to have
36:45
Speaker 3: when Armand's not here, because he thinks that's like the easiest.
36:48
Speaker 1: Job in the life.
36:50
Speaker 3: He's so he's so locked in like that anybody with
36:53
Speaker 3: a football and a tree could figure it out.
36:55
Speaker 2: The snap and the whole The kicker, you know, gets
36:58
Speaker 2: all the shame and all the glory. But the operation
37:01
Speaker 2: is a three man operation. I believe if somebody doesn't
37:03
Speaker 2: do their job, it's going sidew So we could say
37:06
Speaker 2: that long snappers are superheroes. I would like it Superhero
37:10
Speaker 2: today cal current dot com is the website Billy, Who
37:12
Speaker 2: do you.
37:12
Speaker 1: Like for Superhero the day?
37:14
Speaker 3: Well, and that's Sean Ryan being able to fly in
37:16
Speaker 3: in the in the nick of time to be able
37:18
Speaker 3: to help out feels like a pretty decent superhero that
37:21
Speaker 3: could be a part of it.
37:22
Speaker 1: But uh, you know what, I'll also throw one other one.
37:25
Speaker 1: You got one other one.
37:26
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I was gonna mention Andrew Monasterio
37:29
Speaker 2: with a run for the Red Sox yesterday.
37:31
Speaker 3: Well, now I love that one. And then I was
37:34
Speaker 3: also gonna throw the Saint Lewis Cardinals in there. Yesterday
37:37
Speaker 3: after PCA in a zero zero game into the tent,
37:40
Speaker 3: Pete grow Armstrong goes yard for a four hundred and
37:43
Speaker 3: twenty foot home run in the tenth inning. Feels like
37:46
Speaker 3: the cup fans that went down to the Push stadium
37:47
Speaker 3: are gonna be happy. And then Jordan Walker grounds into
37:50
Speaker 3: a fielders choice, scores a run, and Herrero wins it
37:53
Speaker 3: with a double and the Cardinals walk them off in
37:55
Speaker 3: the tent. So I was gonna give the I was
37:57
Speaker 3: gonna give him on. Herrera also a quick nod with
37:59
Speaker 3: that too, and double keeps the Brewers lead at six
38:02
Speaker 3: games yesterday after their disaster. Were you guys calming a
38:05
Speaker 3: lot of people down in the first hour of the
38:07
Speaker 3: sixteen to three decision yesterday or.
38:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were just having fun that. It's the swaying
38:11
Speaker 2: of those you just burn the tape and move on
38:13
Speaker 2: like no big deal. Like Andrew Vaughan pitching. We're getting
38:16
Speaker 2: lightened it up a little bit and.
38:18
Speaker 3: You get yourself to you get to Anaheim short you
38:21
Speaker 3: probably a nice dinner there yesterday, Drew because it was
38:24
Speaker 3: a quick flight, hopefully you didn't have to sit on
38:25
Speaker 3: the tarmac for five hours. And then you get a
38:28
Speaker 3: day off in Anaheim today. A lot worse places in
38:31
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball you could have a day off. Cohen
38:33
Speaker 3: enjoyed Disney leg A lot worse places on the calendar.
38:36
Speaker 1: That you're gonna have a day off, no doubt.
38:38
Speaker 2: I just I liked Monasterio because they you know, tenth
38:41
Speaker 2: inning homer. They win four to two in that minor
38:44
Speaker 2: league park in Sacramento. By the way, the Red Sox
38:47
Speaker 2: have won nineteen of twenty two games.
38:49
Speaker 3: Dude, and I mean Monasterio being being a piece that
38:53
Speaker 3: that's helping them in that deal.
38:55
Speaker 1: I can't say that I necessarily anticipated.
38:57
Speaker 3: The one that I really didn't anticipate was uh, Anthony
39:01
Speaker 3: Siegler being like on the big league team and helping
39:05
Speaker 3: them out in this run. All three of those guys
39:07
Speaker 3: have played in this run where they have not only
39:10
Speaker 3: gotten themselves back into the race, but so where I
39:13
Speaker 3: think they're probably one of the only teams in the
39:15
Speaker 3: American League that's really scaring people. Let's go Andrew Monasterio,
39:18
Speaker 3: who's for our current Electric superhero the day with Current
39:21
Speaker 3: Electric dot Com.
39:23
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, and this is the way Monasterias were,
39:24
Speaker 2: and this is what Brewers loved him. They loved him,
39:27
Speaker 2: loved him, they talked about him NonStop. We didn't get
39:30
Speaker 2: much of his personality and stuff other than you know,
39:32
Speaker 2: he's overshadowed a little bit. But the dude hits a
39:35
Speaker 2: home run four hundred and twenty foot or something to
39:37
Speaker 2: lead off the tenth ends up being the winning margin,
39:41
Speaker 2: and after the game he's profusely apologizing for an error
39:44
Speaker 2: he made in the seventh inning to.
39:46
Speaker 1: Make his rea that's beautiful.
39:48
Speaker 2: And this is a this is great because their picture
39:52
Speaker 2: Slayton said he came in as soon as the game
39:54
Speaker 2: was over. He apologized once in the handshake line, and
39:57
Speaker 2: three more times since I've.
39:58
Speaker 1: Been sitting here in my locker. I keep telling him
40:01
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.
40:02
Speaker 2: We won the game. I was able to pick you up.
40:03
Speaker 2: That feels good, and then you picked us up in
40:05
Speaker 2: the last inning. That's what it's about. That's why we've
40:08
Speaker 2: been winning games because we just continue to pick each
40:09
Speaker 2: other up. So Monasterio, it's a home run in his
40:11
Speaker 2: first instinct is go apologize for the error.
40:13
Speaker 1: Of three innings earlier and three times since I've been sitting.
40:17
Speaker 2: Superhero Andrew Monasteria, Superhero Bill Schmid getting to know I
40:21
Speaker 2: forty three. In that corridor, we're thinking of our friends
40:24
Speaker 2: in the Fox Hoyees. You're driving past Manasha and all that,
40:27
Speaker 2: so we will. We're always thinking of them, not forgetting,
40:30
Speaker 2: like the horrors of that tornadoes.
40:31
Speaker 3: No, and the packers shouted it out yesterday, Man, that
40:33
Speaker 3: those thoughts and prayers continue you on.
40:35
Speaker 2: It's going to be a month before that happens, but Billy,
40:37
Speaker 2: safe travels. We'll catch up with you again tomorrow. Hunter
40:41
Speaker 2: and I will be back to finish strong in the
40:43
Speaker 2: last hour of the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
