2:19
Speaker 5: up early. Our Brewers go to guy, the guy who
2:21
Speaker 5: voiced the intro to our program. What big voice Guy appears,
2:25
Speaker 5: big voice guys with us Hunter, thanks for waking up.
2:27
Speaker 2: How you doing.
2:28
Speaker 4: I'm good, I'm good. What a transition?
2:30
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed, all right, So Hunters got jokes, He's got jokes.
2:36
Speaker 2: We don't need to.
2:37
Speaker 5: Talk too much about the thirteen to twelve game last
2:39
Speaker 5: night or Bryce Ranks two bombs because they did a
2:41
Speaker 5: spring training but the World Baseball Classic getting ready. Young
2:45
Speaker 5: guys are going to get opportunities and looks like they
2:48
Speaker 5: often do in spring training. So as we are rolling
2:52
Speaker 5: through and we are now today, four weeks away from
2:55
Speaker 5: opening day, what's Hunter's take on the state of the
2:58
Speaker 5: Brewers the camp that they're having positional battles.
3:02
Speaker 2: The floor is yours.
3:03
Speaker 5: Hunter, give us like sixty seconds so we can just
3:05
Speaker 5: sit back and have a drink and listen to you.
3:07
Speaker 5: Where the Brewers are at this point in camp.
3:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you guys were doing the Wisconsin State of
3:12
Speaker 3: the Union yesterday, so we can give you a Brewer's
3:14
Speaker 3: State of the Union here a few days into Brewers Camp.
3:17
Speaker 3: I think with where it's so hard to put any
3:21
Speaker 3: stock in the number one the final scores. Right, they
3:23
Speaker 3: went on a walk off sackfly by Greg Jones yesterday,
3:25
Speaker 3: and it's always good to win, right, But at the
3:27
Speaker 3: end of the day when they were zero and four,
3:29
Speaker 3: I don't think we were nearly as worried as Mae
3:31
Speaker 3: when they were owing four last year after the first
3:33
Speaker 3: four games of the regular season. So it's not about
3:36
Speaker 3: the results, but you're seeing some really exciting things happen. Obviously,
3:40
Speaker 3: Jesus Maday with a great day yesterday. You saw the triple,
3:43
Speaker 3: just the flick of the wrist. Go go and check
3:45
Speaker 3: that out. The Brewers posted the video of Miday with
3:49
Speaker 3: that triple, and it's just it. You just basically it's
3:52
Speaker 3: such an effortless swing, and that's the type of stuff.
3:54
Speaker 3: He so reminds me of what we saw with Jackson
3:56
Speaker 3: Curio early on. Is you can just see the makings
3:59
Speaker 3: of why this guy's going to be successful. And of
4:02
Speaker 3: course he has a lot to prove and he probably
4:04
Speaker 3: won't see the big leagues this year, but it's going
4:06
Speaker 3: to come sooner rather than later, and it's going to
4:08
Speaker 3: be fun when that day comes. So I think that's
4:10
Speaker 3: the type of thing you're excited to see. Obviously, a
4:12
Speaker 3: two home run day by Terrang is something you're excited
4:15
Speaker 3: to see. The guys that are going to play in
4:16
Speaker 3: the WBC are getting more playing time the Terrang, the
4:19
Speaker 3: Ortiz Avener Rebay you saw the other day. Obviously Contraras
4:23
Speaker 3: has caught some and you're also seeing the abs challenges come,
4:27
Speaker 3: which is which is exciting as well, and you're seeing
4:30
Speaker 3: what it's used for. Right the Pirates in Red Sox game,
4:33
Speaker 3: I know there's a pitch almost right down in the
4:34
Speaker 3: middle that was called the ball challenge. That's that's why
4:37
Speaker 3: this thing is happening. And then great to see Garrett
4:40
Speaker 3: Mitchell as well on the field for the first time yesterday,
4:42
Speaker 3: and his goal yesterday was to just feel good and
4:45
Speaker 3: get back and really, you know, dive into a base
4:47
Speaker 3: and feel good. You know, the simple things for Garrett
4:50
Speaker 3: Mitchell a month away from opening day.
4:51
Speaker 7: Well, and you mentioned it with just diving back into
4:53
Speaker 7: a base and being able to get up and be
4:55
Speaker 7: all right. I like Adam's piece over at Brewers dot
4:58
Speaker 7: Com talking about his rehab and it's a tough thing
5:00
Speaker 7: to go through when it's a very very lonely feeling.
5:04
Speaker 7: When so many of these guys are so young and
5:06
Speaker 7: have grown up professionally together. To be taken away from
5:10
Speaker 7: that group's got to be a tough deal, right, Like
5:11
Speaker 7: I mean, we saw it with the brotherhood of the
5:13
Speaker 7: US Hockey team.
5:14
Speaker 2: These guys may be a little bit different, but.
5:16
Speaker 7: They spend so much time together, seven months together, where
5:19
Speaker 7: they're seeing each other every single day, almost when you're
5:21
Speaker 7: going up through the ranks, it's got to be difficult
5:23
Speaker 7: to have those those issues. The other guy in there
5:27
Speaker 7: hunter that we've been able to see a tick of
5:29
Speaker 7: was Jet Williams, and he had the big triple and
5:32
Speaker 7: he started to play a little bit more up the middle.
5:35
Speaker 2: What's the thought here?
5:36
Speaker 7: You're right, I think my day is that would be
5:38
Speaker 7: a little pie in the sky to think there's a
5:40
Speaker 7: shot that he's on the team in twenty twenty six.
5:43
Speaker 7: But I don't know that it is with Jet Williams,
5:46
Speaker 7: and it feels like he's doing what he needs to
5:48
Speaker 7: to make that a conversation.
5:50
Speaker 3: For sure, And I think you will see him in
5:53
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, just depending on an injury, just depending
5:56
Speaker 3: on opportunity, depending on how guys at the major league level,
5:59
Speaker 3: performed all of that, all of those things combined. I'm
6:03
Speaker 3: interested to see if he continues to play well and
6:05
Speaker 3: he's gonna get even more playing time now that Ortiz
6:07
Speaker 3: and Terrang are gonna be leaving in a couple of days.
6:10
Speaker 3: So with that being the case, I'm interested to see
6:12
Speaker 3: how he takes that opportunity and runs with it. But also,
6:16
Speaker 3: is it a chance do they decide, Okay, we're gonna
6:20
Speaker 3: keep him as a utility man and keep him at
6:24
Speaker 3: the major league level and give him some playing time
6:26
Speaker 3: here and there, maybe you know because or do you
6:30
Speaker 3: just put him at Triple A and you say, okay,
6:31
Speaker 3: he's gonna get consistent at bats there. He only has
6:33
Speaker 3: thirty four games at Triple A in his career, and
6:36
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the decision. I would think they lean
6:38
Speaker 3: towards Triple A where he can get consistent at bats,
6:41
Speaker 3: and then bring him up when he's gonna get more
6:42
Speaker 3: consistent at bats at the major league level, because I
6:45
Speaker 3: see Renhifos as being your third baseman, I see David
6:49
Speaker 3: Hamilton as being your utility man, and then Rties your
6:52
Speaker 3: shortstop in terrain your second basement.
6:54
Speaker 4: So if that's gonna be the case.
6:56
Speaker 3: Yes, you know it's Jet Williams can play shortstop, you know,
7:01
Speaker 3: probably better than a David Hamilton can. But if Ortiz
7:05
Speaker 3: is gonna be your guy, as Pat Murphy has basically said,
7:08
Speaker 3: and then Renhitho is gonna be your guy at third
7:10
Speaker 3: I just think you put Jet Williams probably to start
7:13
Speaker 3: the year in Nashville, and maybe he comes up sooner
7:16
Speaker 3: rather than later when there's an opportunity to do that,
7:19
Speaker 3: or if David Hamilton is really struggling at the plate,
7:22
Speaker 3: you make a change there and you put Jet Williams
7:24
Speaker 3: as your main backup, and if you want a platoon
7:26
Speaker 3: you can. I think rend Heitho is gonna get most
7:28
Speaker 3: of the playing time at third base. I think he's
7:30
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of a better option right now
7:32
Speaker 3: than Jet Williams over there, just because he's he's been there,
7:35
Speaker 3: done that.
7:36
Speaker 4: But you're here.
7:37
Speaker 3: You have a lot of infielders that are better up
7:39
Speaker 3: the middle, but somebody's gonna have to play third base well.
7:41
Speaker 8: And the thing is, uh, we focus so much on
7:44
Speaker 8: how you start the season, but as we know, guys,
7:46
Speaker 8: things are gonna change. There's gonna be injuries, there's gonna
7:48
Speaker 8: be nonlinear performance. There's gonna be all these things that
7:51
Speaker 8: might constitute a change down the road anyway. So what
7:54
Speaker 8: we're gonna see once the season starts is definitely out.
7:56
Speaker 8: We're gonna see in the six months after that, right Hunter,
7:59
Speaker 8: we might get a chance is you know, if the
8:01
Speaker 8: Brewers are in a mix, if they're fighting for a
8:02
Speaker 8: playoff spot, maybe they're going to try and bring one
8:04
Speaker 8: of these guys up to try and play it, or
8:06
Speaker 8: shuple of positions around just to try and prom out
8:08
Speaker 8: a spark.
8:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean guys like Brock Wilkins or Cooper Pratt
8:11
Speaker 3: I think of a better shot at making the majors
8:12
Speaker 3: then maybe sayah a Day or a Painya Fisher this
8:17
Speaker 3: coming season. So you could see them possibly late in
8:19
Speaker 3: the year. And we all remember if any capra on
8:21
Speaker 3: Oliver Dunn was your platoon a third base to start
8:23
Speaker 3: last season, and then quickly it was Caleb Durban and
8:26
Speaker 3: then Caleb Durban became a top three Rookie of the
8:28
Speaker 3: Year candidate. So I think that that just shows where yes,
8:32
Speaker 3: the opening day roster people put a lot into it,
8:35
Speaker 3: but that does not mean that even a couple of
8:36
Speaker 3: weeks into April that could change. And I think with
8:39
Speaker 3: the Brewers, they have always done a really good job
8:41
Speaker 3: of using guys up and down, using their options to
8:44
Speaker 3: their advantage, and using guys in their minor league system
8:47
Speaker 3: to impact the.
8:48
Speaker 4: Major league level.
8:49
Speaker 3: And then okay, if they need to be sent down,
8:50
Speaker 3: you know, they go back and they may spend a
8:52
Speaker 3: little more time at the Triple A level talking to.
8:55
Speaker 5: Hunter bombguart Our, Brewers go to guy all things Brewers.
8:59
Speaker 5: I saw a story the other day and he's hardly
9:01
Speaker 5: talked about Trevor McGill, Thank you, great one that was
9:05
Speaker 5: you know, there's guys in Packers camp all the time, Billy.
9:07
Speaker 5: They're like, how can I never hear anything about that guy?
9:09
Speaker 2: Yeah?
9:10
Speaker 5: Right, And Trevor McGill is one of those guys that
9:12
Speaker 5: you didn't really hear about is passing.
9:13
Speaker 7: Which is actually a very very important position that he's
9:16
Speaker 7: going to be for. You would think, ye, So, Hunter,
9:19
Speaker 7: where are you at the back end of the bullpen?
9:20
Speaker 7: A lot of folks say that, you know, you you
9:22
Speaker 7: rebe might be the closer in waiting. They still have
9:25
Speaker 7: Trevor McGill, So how does the back end look right now?
9:28
Speaker 4: Yeah? I love that they kept him.
9:29
Speaker 3: I know there was rumors and still is to a
9:31
Speaker 3: certain extent about whether they trade him because of Abner
9:34
Speaker 3: Uribe's you know, emergence and his ability to take that
9:37
Speaker 3: role when McGill was out last year. I still think
9:39
Speaker 3: your bullpen's in a really good spot if you guys,
9:41
Speaker 3: if you have those guys in your eighth inning and
9:43
Speaker 3: your ninth inning each and every night, and I don't
9:47
Speaker 3: I do wonder who takes the reins on that. I
9:51
Speaker 3: would think maybe veteran status Trevor McGill takes it to
9:55
Speaker 3: start the season and then see how he does, and
9:57
Speaker 3: then if they need to make a change, they make
9:59
Speaker 3: a swap. Abner Rebay definitely has the swagger and we
10:02
Speaker 3: saw what he can do in the ninth inning. We
10:04
Speaker 3: saw what he can do in two innings of closing
10:06
Speaker 3: the baseball game in Game five against the Cubs. So
10:08
Speaker 3: he's he's clearly, you know, comfortable in that position now.
10:12
Speaker 4: I I would.
10:14
Speaker 3: Think that you'll go Abnery Rebay in the in the
10:16
Speaker 3: eighth and then McGill in the ninth.
10:17
Speaker 4: But it's it.
10:19
Speaker 3: You also know that McGill ended last year on a
10:23
Speaker 3: on a so so note with.
10:25
Speaker 4: The injuries obviously he was pitching.
10:27
Speaker 3: At the end of the year, but he still uh
10:29
Speaker 3: hopefully had a good off season everything like that, so
10:31
Speaker 3: you want to be careful a little bit with him. Uh,
10:34
Speaker 3: But I just I gotta think that he was your
10:36
Speaker 3: He was your closer last year until our Rebay took
10:40
Speaker 3: it over when he got injured.
10:41
Speaker 4: So I gotta think the job is probably McGill's to lose.
10:45
Speaker 3: But either way you slice it, maybe they kind of
10:47
Speaker 3: go in and out. Maybe that some nights it's Uribay,
10:50
Speaker 3: some knights is McGill. I kind of want one guy
10:52
Speaker 3: to take that over and say, Okay, it's your job.
10:55
Speaker 3: You're expected to pitch in the ninth inning every night,
10:57
Speaker 3: because I think that is a mentality, especially in that role,
11:00
Speaker 3: to have and we've seen, you know, many guys flourish
11:04
Speaker 3: when they've had Okay, it's you, it's your ninth inning,
11:06
Speaker 3: the to louse. Basically, I feel like McGill is going
11:09
Speaker 3: to be that guy to start. But I'm fascinated what
11:11
Speaker 3: they do. But I love the back end of the bullpen.
11:13
Speaker 3: You still have Canig back there and then you throw
11:15
Speaker 3: in a bunch of different guys, whether it be Ashby
11:17
Speaker 3: or this Disney and different guys coming back. Dl Hall
11:21
Speaker 3: all guys that I think will will end up in
11:23
Speaker 3: that bullpen.
11:23
Speaker 7: Well, and that's interesting. You let me right to it.
11:26
Speaker 7: Who would be like the next guy? Obviously caneg pitched
11:28
Speaker 7: some some leverage spots, but bullpen arms are as up
11:32
Speaker 7: and down as flavors of the day on a menu board.
11:34
Speaker 7: It feels like at Culver's Right, like the one year.
11:37
Speaker 7: One year you can be great, another year you can
11:39
Speaker 7: be a huge question mark, and all of a sudden
11:42
Speaker 7: you all Piams is all over Triple A and people
11:44
Speaker 7: are like, I can't wait to never see him pitch again.
11:47
Speaker 7: He was nails for you for a year, like Deserpa,
11:50
Speaker 7: kind of pro like you think that is one of
11:52
Speaker 7: the reasons why he's been brought in to be one
11:54
Speaker 7: of the next leverage guys, because when they've been at
11:56
Speaker 7: their best, Hunter as much as I hope Jacob is
12:00
Speaker 7: Rowski pitches one hundred and eighty innings and has a
12:02
Speaker 7: number of six inning gems that he's starting, and you
12:05
Speaker 7: know Brandon Woodruf's able to give you twenty five starts
12:07
Speaker 7: or whatever it is. And you're seeing some like Kyle
12:09
Speaker 7: Harrison and company, but they're probably gonna have five inning
12:13
Speaker 7: guys five and two thirds get their seventeen ounce and
12:15
Speaker 7: roll through a lot of times that third leverage arm,
12:18
Speaker 7: third and fourth leverage arm ends up being almost more important.
12:22
Speaker 7: Who do you think are those next guys after?
12:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with the way the brus have set
12:26
Speaker 3: up their depth this year, it is not necessarily going
12:30
Speaker 3: to be all about how long can your starter go,
12:33
Speaker 3: especially with it sounds like Brandon Woodriff is a little
12:36
Speaker 3: up in the air for opening Day and you just
12:38
Speaker 3: want to make sure and he clearly wants to make
12:40
Speaker 3: sure he's ready when it comes to August, September, and
12:44
Speaker 3: October rather than necessarily April and May. So I think
12:46
Speaker 3: you're gonna see some you know, piecing together at times.
12:49
Speaker 3: You're gonna see maybe, you know, Aaron Ashby who seemingly
12:52
Speaker 3: started every game in the NLCS with the team, maybe
12:55
Speaker 3: get an opener here and there. They're going to be
12:57
Speaker 3: creative because they can be because they have so many
12:59
Speaker 3: options that could be starters.
13:01
Speaker 4: I mean, they have so many this year.
13:03
Speaker 3: I think you'll still see a five man rotation at
13:06
Speaker 3: its core, But then are there days where maybe they
13:09
Speaker 3: throw in a six guy, or do a bullpen day
13:11
Speaker 3: or something to maybe you know, give Woodriff an extra
13:13
Speaker 3: day or give some of these guys some extra time. Yes,
13:16
Speaker 3: when it comes to that leverage role or some of
13:18
Speaker 3: those roles in the back of the bullpen, I think
13:19
Speaker 3: Sarapa is really an opportunity to hold on to that,
13:23
Speaker 3: whether it be six seventh inning on a day maybe
13:26
Speaker 3: where Canaan can't go.
13:27
Speaker 4: You know.
13:27
Speaker 3: However, the lineup is obviously looking when it comes to
13:31
Speaker 3: the opponent as well, so I think there is he
13:35
Speaker 3: could start, Sarah, but I really do think he's that
13:37
Speaker 3: middle middle relief bullpen guy. Dl Hall is probably your
13:41
Speaker 3: length more than a leverage Ashby did a really good
13:44
Speaker 3: job in leverage, late inning, leverage role last year.
13:47
Speaker 4: I think he stays there.
13:49
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy has said he really liked what Aaron Ashby
13:51
Speaker 3: could do last year, and Ashby was saying recently how
13:53
Speaker 3: he just he feels like he is gonna be his
13:56
Speaker 3: build up to.
13:57
Speaker 4: Whether it be a starter or whether it to be pitch.
13:59
Speaker 3: Almost it feels like it's relatively similar just because you're
14:02
Speaker 3: putting so many innings on your arms. So he's good
14:05
Speaker 3: with however he can, you know, help the team win.
14:07
Speaker 3: And I think, honestly, with the way this pitching staff
14:10
Speaker 3: is as a whole, I think you're really best served
14:12
Speaker 3: for Aaron Ashby to be kind of that that leverage
14:16
Speaker 3: guy when you need him, or maybe some innings in
14:18
Speaker 3: the middle when you need him, but have him be
14:20
Speaker 3: in that bullpen. So I would look at Sarapha next,
14:23
Speaker 3: and then I would look at Ashby and dale Hall coming.
14:26
Speaker 8: Because the way the Brewers like to operate, and obviously
14:28
Speaker 8: with their stutters, they're never gonna go along. And I
14:31
Speaker 8: think you know, more than any other big, you know,
14:33
Speaker 8: headline guy, the consistency of those guys and the midderal
14:37
Speaker 8: league is gonna dictate winning and losing consistently more than anything.
14:40
Speaker 8: You didn't need a lot of those quality innings and
14:42
Speaker 8: outs from those guys, and that's where Nick Mehers gave
14:45
Speaker 8: you a lot of that last year. Now you know
14:46
Speaker 8: they moved on from Nick Muir, so that's a lot
14:49
Speaker 8: of innings and a lot of performance to fill in
14:51
Speaker 8: because he was pretty good most of the year. And
14:54
Speaker 8: you know, I would you, I would agree, and would
14:56
Speaker 8: you say Hunter, those are the most important guys to
14:59
Speaker 8: fill in those out It's that Nick Meher's left.
15:01
Speaker 3: For sure, I think, yeah, I think, uh, the fact
15:04
Speaker 3: that you got Zerpa back in the deal for uh,
15:08
Speaker 3: for Nick, for Nick Mears, I think is significant.
15:10
Speaker 4: I think he can play that type of role.
15:13
Speaker 3: And I'm interested to see what the Brewers' pitching staff
15:15
Speaker 3: can do with him, get him in the get him
15:16
Speaker 3: in spring training, and seeing how they can kind of
15:19
Speaker 3: mold him. Rob zis Strizzny is someone you can't forget
15:22
Speaker 3: about as well.
15:24
Speaker 4: Rob Z is a guy who.
15:26
Speaker 3: Who can who can get out to when you need him,
15:28
Speaker 3: a lefty there out of the bullpen. So I think
15:30
Speaker 3: there's a couple guys and and like you said, it
15:32
Speaker 3: is going to it's of course the starters are going
15:35
Speaker 3: to be important and the five man rotation, But then
15:37
Speaker 3: who comes after who stays at the major league level?
15:39
Speaker 3: Right is is uh? You know, Robert Gasser, Logan Henderson.
15:43
Speaker 3: Where do they those guys fit If they don't make
15:45
Speaker 3: the rotation, do you keep them in the bullpen or
15:47
Speaker 3: do you have them be in your triple A rotation.
15:49
Speaker 3: I tend to think they're triple A until they're needed,
15:51
Speaker 3: whether it be injury or or a spot starter or
15:53
Speaker 3: something like that. I tend to think that's where they go,
15:56
Speaker 3: but I'm interested to see where those guys land.
15:59
Speaker 5: The Brewers went. There were several years in a row
16:01
Speaker 5: where they didn't have a lefty starter in the rotation.
16:04
Speaker 5: And now like, okay, so you got Woodorf, Priester, and
16:07
Speaker 5: Miz and then the last two spots looks like Patrick
16:10
Speaker 5: and Kyle Harrison. Do you think Murph you mentioned the
16:13
Speaker 5: opener possibility and the options they have, is there a
16:16
Speaker 5: compulsion to throw in another lefty to mix things up?
16:20
Speaker 5: Like and I know they like if you go from
16:22
Speaker 5: Miz to somebody who doesn't throw his hard or they
16:24
Speaker 5: like the Viarians Hilfarians from game to game. You think
16:27
Speaker 5: there's that option, Like who would be the leading lefty
16:31
Speaker 5: candidate to take the ball in a starting role.
16:34
Speaker 3: I would think that it would be Aaron Ashby, But
16:36
Speaker 3: then again, I feel like they love him. It just
16:39
Speaker 3: seems like they love him in that bullpen role. So
16:43
Speaker 3: like the the you know, they paid him, the contract
16:46
Speaker 3: they extended him he was He's I think the third
16:49
Speaker 3: longest tenured Brewer now behind Woody and Yelly. So you
16:52
Speaker 3: think about that and where he is and it's like, yeah,
16:55
Speaker 3: he's been here a long time, and he's never really
16:58
Speaker 3: it's he's never you know, had just okay, go you're
17:01
Speaker 3: a starter, go, you know, kind of like we've seen
17:04
Speaker 3: it for a whole.
17:05
Speaker 4: Season, so that would be interesting.
17:07
Speaker 3: I just think they they saw what he could do
17:09
Speaker 3: last year in the role he was in, and I
17:11
Speaker 3: think they're like, oh my, let's keep this guy where
17:14
Speaker 3: he was, you know, late in the season what he
17:16
Speaker 3: was doing, so he would be But deal Hall is
17:18
Speaker 3: an interesting one as well, Like we still have and
17:21
Speaker 3: he said he's feeling the most healthy he's been as
17:24
Speaker 3: in a brewery uniform coming into this spring. So I
17:27
Speaker 3: would love to see it's it's possible that he is
17:29
Speaker 3: also has an.
17:31
Speaker 4: Opportunity he.
17:33
Speaker 3: Wants it, and not to necessarily make it maybe out
17:36
Speaker 3: of camp, but to I don't know, maybe come a
17:39
Speaker 3: month into the season, they're like, yeah, we want to
17:41
Speaker 3: we want to have some more innings out of a
17:44
Speaker 3: lefty in a starter role. Maybe DL Hall is the guy. Look,
17:47
Speaker 3: he came back in a significant trade for the organization.
17:50
Speaker 3: I gotta think they want that to work, you know,
17:52
Speaker 3: continue to work out and work out even better than
17:54
Speaker 3: it has because he's been a little injury prone. Obviously
17:56
Speaker 3: our teas great defensively, not so great offensively. I think
18:00
Speaker 3: both of those guys are Teas and Hall are gonna
18:01
Speaker 3: have opportunities, whether Halls in the rotation or bullpen will
18:04
Speaker 3: have to see.
18:05
Speaker 7: I think you hit it on the head there, Hunter,
18:06
Speaker 7: because Drew I was I was wondering if it would
18:08
Speaker 7: be a Gasser. I would I was wondering if it
18:10
Speaker 7: would be Ashby or Hal. But you might want to
18:13
Speaker 7: try to make yourself right on that, on that burds
18:16
Speaker 7: train you want. You might want to take one last
18:18
Speaker 7: gas and see if it could work. But I wonder
18:20
Speaker 7: if there would be like a couple, right, like a pairing,
18:23
Speaker 7: maybe it would be haul for three innings and then
18:25
Speaker 7: it's clearly, uh, you're gonna get doubled up with Priester,
18:28
Speaker 7: right because Priester was the second candidate.
18:30
Speaker 2: Right, Maybe Patrick's that guy this year.
18:32
Speaker 7: But I loved him just taking the ball and ripping
18:35
Speaker 7: five innings last year because it seems like he's just
18:37
Speaker 7: got too much of a starter mentality to not go
18:39
Speaker 7: and take one of those spots.
18:40
Speaker 4: For sure, for sure, and I and.
18:42
Speaker 3: You know I what Priester was able to do Opener
18:45
Speaker 3: or not last year was was obviously super impressive. So
18:48
Speaker 3: there are gonna be times where they do the opener gambit.
18:51
Speaker 4: So to speak, mix and match.
18:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll mix and match. They'll, like I said, I
18:55
Speaker 3: think they'll start with a five man rotation. But then
18:58
Speaker 3: they'll have opportunity to go, Okay, you know, we're gonna
19:01
Speaker 3: give wood you an extra day here, maybe we got
19:03
Speaker 3: an off day tomorrow, We're just gonna go with a
19:05
Speaker 3: with a bullpen day. But maybe that's a dl Hall start,
19:08
Speaker 3: or maybe that's a you know, a different guy starting
19:11
Speaker 3: the game, and maybe you get balk innings from Aaron
19:13
Speaker 3: Ashby that day. So what the Brewers have done is
19:16
Speaker 3: they have they have they felt like they had a
19:18
Speaker 3: lot of depth when it came to the position player
19:20
Speaker 3: group and specifically the infield.
19:22
Speaker 4: So they took away.
19:23
Speaker 3: From that and they got pitching back and and and
19:26
Speaker 3: they really looked at last year, and I gotta think
19:29
Speaker 3: that last year, when you had Elvin Rodriganz and Tyler
19:32
Speaker 3: Alexander making you know, starts for you in the first
19:34
Speaker 3: month of the season, it kind of shocked the system
19:36
Speaker 3: a little bit and went, Okay, we need to make
19:38
Speaker 3: sure we are covered pitching wise.
19:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're covered pitching wise.
19:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, getting those guys that can go fifty pitches three
19:45
Speaker 5: times a week. Yeah, guys, the two inning guys, a
19:50
Speaker 5: lot of swing guys that are stretched out, which you know, that's.
19:53
Speaker 7: You can get fifty appearances instead of twenty five, Drew,
19:56
Speaker 7: I like those.
19:56
Speaker 5: I like that impact at Ashby theory.
20:00
Speaker 8: Right, even th're not quote unquote starters, you could have
20:02
Speaker 8: eight guys that can act as this sort of nebulous
20:05
Speaker 8: idea of a starter that the Brewers are doing now,
20:07
Speaker 8: and that's kind of what it is.
20:08
Speaker 5: That's quite the role, all right, Hutter. We buried the
20:10
Speaker 5: lead on the way out here. The Brewers making sensations
20:13
Speaker 5: with their social media team.
20:15
Speaker 2: The Miseraski video.
20:16
Speaker 5: I mean, seven million views last I checked, that's just
20:19
Speaker 5: off the charts. They're winning, they're winning Spring Training.
20:23
Speaker 4: Well.
20:23
Speaker 3: For sure, I love how creative they have always been,
20:27
Speaker 3: but obviously this is you know, a different level of
20:30
Speaker 3: creativity and the talent they have on that team.
20:33
Speaker 4: But also you know, they've I've always thought that they
20:36
Speaker 4: have had.
20:36
Speaker 3: A fantastic pulse on the Brewers fans and what type
20:39
Speaker 3: of content Brewers fans want to see. So now not
20:42
Speaker 3: only are they mixing that with some just out of
20:45
Speaker 3: the box thinking Obviously the self freelick video was awesome,
20:47
Speaker 3: and then you have the Jacob Zowski and the Apple
20:51
Speaker 3: and I Arman and I were standing around my computer going, okay,
20:54
Speaker 3: you're you're seeing the same thing right like this, what
20:57
Speaker 3: are we looking at you here?
20:57
Speaker 8: First see it it's wild, yeah, but we can't be real.
21:01
Speaker 8: And then you see that, but you see the Apple
21:02
Speaker 8: bowance just it was amazing work.
21:05
Speaker 9: It's crazy.
21:05
Speaker 8: Like you said though, it's the idea of first, the
21:07
Speaker 8: creative creativities first, so totally.
21:10
Speaker 3: It sounds like they have more common as well. So yeah,
21:13
Speaker 3: they've crushed it for many years and this is it
21:15
Speaker 3: seems like a whole other level for the twenty twenty
21:18
Speaker 3: six season.
21:18
Speaker 4: So can't wait.
21:19
Speaker 2: It's pretty good now.
21:20
Speaker 7: As I'm listening to the foul Territory Boys, I know
21:22
Speaker 7: they had Piersinski there this week, so you got a
21:24
Speaker 7: lot of interviews. If Brewers fans want, I would urge
21:27
Speaker 7: you to go and listen to it. You hear a
21:28
Speaker 7: lot of your best, your favorite players. They were still
21:32
Speaker 7: right around a lot of different projections. They're like, I
21:34
Speaker 7: think it'll be about five hundred I think it went
21:36
Speaker 7: like eighty four games. I think they'll be okay. I'm
21:39
Speaker 7: not gonna bet on the downfall, but I don't know
21:41
Speaker 7: that they're winning ninety plus. I don't know that they're
21:43
Speaker 7: doing this. I don't know that they're beating the Cubs.
21:45
Speaker 7: There still seems to be a a hesitancy to buy
21:50
Speaker 7: into the kind of young players that the Brewers have.
21:54
Speaker 7: Who Hunter in your eyes, is that one that takes
21:58
Speaker 7: the superstar step, because if like Bryce Terrang unlocked a
22:01
Speaker 7: different level. I know the easy answer is Jackson Curio,
22:04
Speaker 7: but he maybe had the quietest twenty twenty season that
22:07
Speaker 7: you're going to have a year ago. Is it somebody
22:09
Speaker 7: not mentioned? Or is it William Contrera's healthy? Like who
22:13
Speaker 7: out of their frontline four or five guys in your eyes,
22:17
Speaker 7: is the most important this year to have a big
22:19
Speaker 7: year that they just can't go and be the team
22:21
Speaker 7: they want to be if he's not at his.
22:23
Speaker 3: Best Contreras, I think that answer I think is Contraras's
22:27
Speaker 3: because he's healthy.
22:29
Speaker 4: I think he you know, he even had.
22:30
Speaker 3: Really a solid season with a with a broken finger
22:33
Speaker 3: that looked awful last year, but somehow, you know, yeah,
22:37
Speaker 3: and just was able to just adjust throughout the season
22:40
Speaker 3: and play through it, honestly, and he's feeling great here
22:43
Speaker 3: in spring training, which is awesome. I think so Contrera's
22:47
Speaker 3: is the answer to if the Brewers want to be
22:49
Speaker 3: the team they want to be. I think Contreras has
22:50
Speaker 3: to be key. Who can take that superstar step. I
22:53
Speaker 3: gotta think it's Bryce Terrangy boy, you put that power
22:56
Speaker 3: with that glove, with that speed. I mean, you're talking
22:59
Speaker 3: rare territory for Bryce to rank to be in and
23:02
Speaker 3: and lock him up as soon as possible because.
23:05
Speaker 4: He has a really good season this year and it's
23:07
Speaker 4: gonna be it's gonna get tougher and tougher.
23:09
Speaker 7: Any chance, quick, do you guys think there's any chance,
23:12
Speaker 7: Like out of the guys that would would would my day,
23:14
Speaker 7: you think, get a deal before he plays in the
23:16
Speaker 7: big leagues, Before Bryce Terran gets a deal.
23:21
Speaker 8: I think there's a chance if he doesn't want a chance,
23:23
Speaker 8: if he gets a nice offer and doesn't want to
23:26
Speaker 8: screw around and roll the dice in the future with
23:28
Speaker 8: the new you know, give them front money, come on
23:30
Speaker 8: up front, and maybe he just wants to be in
23:32
Speaker 8: a place like Milwaukee.
23:32
Speaker 9: We're gonna have to talk to anybody. Yeah, you're right
23:36
Speaker 9: on that.
23:37
Speaker 8: I don't want to deal with any of these other
23:39
Speaker 8: cities where people have to talk. You guys will keep
23:41
Speaker 8: me here. I'm fine, pretty good, really quick. What do
23:44
Speaker 8: you think of ABS so far? It seems like fans
23:46
Speaker 8: are split, like it's kind of cool, but it might
23:48
Speaker 8: hold up the game a little too much for some
23:50
Speaker 8: people that feel like we made progress with pitch clock.
23:52
Speaker 9: Let's not stop the flow now.
23:54
Speaker 3: Sure, I think it's about as quick as you're gonna have.
23:56
Speaker 3: I don't think there's gonna be you know, and I
23:58
Speaker 3: don't think they're gonna be challenging every other hitch either.
24:00
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be pretty selective. It sounds
24:02
Speaker 3: like just the catchers and the hitters are pretty much
24:04
Speaker 3: going to do it. It doesn't sound like the Brewers
24:06
Speaker 3: are gonna have their pitchers necessarily challenging. They're going to
24:09
Speaker 3: rely on their catchers, and William Contreras is probably, you know,
24:11
Speaker 3: gonna be one of the best at it because he's
24:13
Speaker 3: so good at that catching position, every aspect of it.
24:16
Speaker 4: So I love it. Though.
24:17
Speaker 3: It's it's to get the egregious calls right, Yes, it's
24:20
Speaker 3: to turn a walk to a strikeout or a strikeout
24:22
Speaker 3: to a walk, and it's and it's changing account from
24:25
Speaker 3: two to one to one and two or whatever it is.
24:27
Speaker 4: Let's get it right.
24:28
Speaker 3: And it sounds like from what self Freelick was as
24:30
Speaker 3: Billy said there on a foul territory. He was saying
24:32
Speaker 3: that he's talked to the umpires a couple times and
24:35
Speaker 3: he they like it because they want to know, Okay,
24:37
Speaker 3: what is this? You know what what is a strike
24:39
Speaker 3: in this system? So then I can be the best
24:41
Speaker 3: I can be and so then I get the most
24:43
Speaker 3: calls right. So it sounds like umpires for the most part,
24:46
Speaker 3: are liking it early on, and I think fans will too.
24:48
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to hold it up. They
24:50
Speaker 3: do it so quick, ten to fifteen seconds, boom you
24:52
Speaker 3: get the call, and there's a little you know, there's
24:54
Speaker 3: gonna be some ooing and eyeing.
24:55
Speaker 4: I think in the stadium too.
24:56
Speaker 7: So the animation is better than the four the the
25:00
Speaker 7: first down UH measurement in football, and Drew Listen Hunters
25:05
Speaker 7: is right. I think most umpires like it. I don't
25:07
Speaker 7: think old boy in the one game I saw the
25:09
Speaker 7: other day who missed five consecutive pitches and had every
25:12
Speaker 7: single one of them change. I don't know that he
25:14
Speaker 7: was loving it. I don't love him, but listen, we're
25:17
Speaker 7: gonna get better. All right, We're gonna there's gonna be
25:19
Speaker 7: down days, but we're gonna get better. The only way
25:21
Speaker 7: to go is open.
25:22
Speaker 2: Well.
25:22
Speaker 8: I thought it was funny Phil because he announced his
25:23
Speaker 8: retirement or whatever.
25:25
Speaker 5: Right right, Yeah, that's gonna be a lot of the
25:27
Speaker 5: old guys are leaving.
25:28
Speaker 2: Changing of the guard, no.

Speaker 7: they did like the double where they only wanted the red.
26:58
Speaker 2: Blood cells, so it took like twice as.
27:00
Speaker 7: Long and it would spin it through a machine and
27:04
Speaker 7: take out all the cell and bring it back. And
27:05
Speaker 7: that was a good thirty forty minute situation. And I
27:08
Speaker 7: had it down to a pretty pretty much science. You
27:10
Speaker 7: said it cookies and a couple of juice boxes as well. Right,
27:15
Speaker 7: what's hurting with a Hawaiian bunch at this point? Gotta
27:18
Speaker 7: get the sugar back down the precids that they got it,
27:20
Speaker 7: and then try to schedule that like in the middle
27:22
Speaker 7: of the second class, because then you run this almost
27:24
Speaker 7: all the way up to lunch. Right then you go
27:27

28:32
Speaker 8: Beat the kid that would get the doctors and dinnis

Speaker 8: appointment during the day and come back to class because
28:36
Speaker 8: he missed lunch with the McDonald's bag.

28:57
Speaker 8: because every kid want.
28:58
Speaker 2: One f could just get one kind of man.
29:01
Speaker 8: When you like you walked in like you were King

29:13
Speaker 8: luxe because you're trying to be class.
29:14
Speaker 2: This was back in the day.
29:15
Speaker 7: Billy, you don't like going back to the arch to walk,
29:18
Speaker 7: going back to school after the dentist appointment. That that
29:21
Speaker 7: again is the point where I don't know what I'm mouthy. Really,
29:27
Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't think it worked really well.
29:28
Speaker 7: I got my back. I can't even like feel the
29:30
Speaker 7: back of my mouth. I think I'm gonna have to
29:32
Speaker 7: go lay down for a little bit. Yeah, you gotta
29:34
Speaker 7: manipulate that system, keep yourself out for a little bit.
29:36
Speaker 9: I guess so.
29:37
Speaker 2: But you know, unless you really wanted to get back
29:39
Speaker 2: to English Clay, it just wouldn't work.
29:40
Speaker 9: With my mom. She wanted that perfect attendance thing. She's like,
29:43
Speaker 9: you got one hundred.
29:44
Speaker 4: And two fever.
29:45
Speaker 8: You are right, You'll be okay. Oh gosh, thanks mom.
29:47
Speaker 8: I'm home sick. No, if I was sick, we'd stay home.
29:50
Speaker 8: But it would be one of those things where it's
29:52
Speaker 8: like attendance was important. I wasn't getting out of class
29:55
Speaker 8: for anything, as you know, Billy, including my senior skip day.
29:58
Speaker 2: I didn't skip. Did you hear the story, ever, Drew?
30:01
Speaker 2: You didn't skip.
30:02
Speaker 8: I went to school. I didn't want to break the rules,
30:04
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? And I missed the Great
30:06
Speaker 8: Brewer Pirate game brawl one. He missed the brawl in.
30:11
Speaker 7: Pirates at the and and someone was at that game
30:15
Speaker 7: skip in school on this radio show. Now, luckily enough,
30:20
Speaker 7: that's like five that would have been maaggled around No,
30:22
Speaker 7: two thousand and one. I would have been seven seven,
30:24
Speaker 7: So I was in the second grade class. Uh and uh.
30:27
Speaker 7: The it was the magazine drive Brewer game. So if
30:30
Speaker 7: you sold enough magazines, you sold like thirteen or fourteen,
30:33
Speaker 7: it's the school day you got to go to the
30:35
Speaker 7: Brewers game. If you were in like fifth grade over
30:38
Speaker 7: right earlier, you got the movie passes. But you know,
30:41
Speaker 7: since my mom was the second it was the chaperone
30:43
Speaker 7: for the Brewers game, She's like, well, I can't leave
30:45
Speaker 7: him at school.

Speaker 2: A helmet thrown in the way of Cheeter. Was it Pirates?
31:01
Speaker 7: It was Pirates, Yeah, but I wanted to say it
31:04
Speaker 7: was a Ramas Ramirez.
31:05
Speaker 5: You say Pirates Brewers Brawl and I think of Garrett
31:08
Speaker 5: Cole and Carlos Gomez, but that was like years later.
31:10
Speaker 5: Years later, I think Aramas Ramirez was with the Pirates.
31:14
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that Carlos Gomez one and Garrett
31:19
Speaker 7: Cole is a beauty of a moment. Carlos Gomez, do
31:22

31:25
Speaker 7: world like he was? He was the ultimate. He's our guys,
31:29
Speaker 7: so nobody can say anything to it. But uh, when
31:31
Speaker 7: I wore a Carlos Gomez Brewer shirt to a Twins
31:34
Speaker 7: game the one time after they were not as big
31:36

Speaker 5: his glove. Both were rejected after players from both teams
32:12

32:13
Speaker 2: Was going to defend.
32:14
Speaker 5: Jeff was fined intentionally for throwing at Ramirez and throwing equipment.
32:19
Speaker 9: So there you go. I love that equipment, Ben.
32:22

36:44
Speaker 2: So Fellas.
36:45
Speaker 7: This is a story that I think we've been following
36:47
Speaker 7: quite a bit over the last number of days, and
36:50
Speaker 7: it's going to come to a head later on here
36:52
Speaker 7: Today is the Hammond, Indiana Bears, potentially in the Arlington
36:56
Speaker 7: Heights Bears. As in the state of Illinois. They will
37:00
Speaker 7: go back to the Finance Committee a little bit of
37:04
Speaker 7: a do over. As I was reading earlier this morning
37:07
Speaker 7: from the botched meeting that Kevin Warren decided he didn't
37:11
Speaker 7: want to be part of.
37:12
Speaker 2: He chose to.
37:14
Speaker 7: So Pritzker had his back and forth, He had his
37:17
Speaker 7: video after saying I was really disappointed they weren't a
37:19
Speaker 7: part of this. That they put out the statement about
37:21
Speaker 7: this is the biggest step forward we've had with Indiana.
37:24
Speaker 7: Today is kind of the drop dead day in Illinois.
37:28
Speaker 7: If this moves, and if it does not move, it
37:32
Speaker 7: has to wait another month and a half before there
37:34
Speaker 7: is more time for some meeting and conversating about the
37:39
Speaker 7: Bear Stadium. So we will know here today, guys, if
37:41
Speaker 7: the Hammond Bears is a real possibility, because drewsman on
37:46
Speaker 7: and saying listen, mostly not gonna happen. I do also
37:49
Speaker 7: like that I'm hearing also fallback option for Hammon might
37:52
Speaker 7: be the White Sox. They're like, well, we could, we
37:54
Speaker 7: got the room, we got the land, maybe the white
37:56
Speaker 7: socks in the new stadium.
37:57
Speaker 2: That's actually more realistic.
37:58
Speaker 7: But as I talked to Aaron Naglar yesterday, Uh, and
38:01
Speaker 7: you're gonna be able to find more of that on
38:03
Speaker 7: the Carry the G Radio podcast really being released later on.
38:07
Speaker 7: Here today, let's go. He's in Indiana, in Indianapolis, there's
38:13
Speaker 7: one lawmaker. Well, he's closer to where the conversations are
38:17
Speaker 7: being had in the state of Indiana. And uh, he
38:21
Speaker 7: had he had said it and told the story that
38:22
Speaker 7: he spoke to one of a very very loyal cheese
38:25
Speaker 7: head TV er who's actually in the uh in the
38:29
Speaker 7: meetings on the floor in the state of Indiana. He
38:32
Speaker 7: said it was tough as a Packers fan to not
38:35
Speaker 7: try to make it sound even more like a great
38:39
Speaker 7: reason why Indiana should take the.
38:40
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears over.
38:42
Speaker 7: But Nagg's has also been very very steadfast on this
38:45
Speaker 7: ain't happened, and this ain't happened, and this ain't happening.
38:48
Speaker 7: He came out of his conversation feeling like Indiana believes
38:52
Speaker 7: it's happening.
38:52
Speaker 2: I think.
38:54
Speaker 9: The Bears are serious.
38:56
Speaker 7: Right well, but they might get serious, and from what
38:59
Speaker 7: it sounds like, people believe the Bears aren't serious. The
39:02
Speaker 7: Bears are serious about getting this stuff done now, and
39:05
Speaker 7: if it doesn't happen today, there's gonna be another long
39:09
Speaker 7: wait in the state of Illinois, and Indiana's already passed there.
39:12
Speaker 7: So today we're gonna get some information. There's gonna be
39:14
Speaker 7: some moving and shaking, and by the show tomorrow, I
39:18
Speaker 7: think we're gonna have a pretty good chance and understanding
39:20
Speaker 7: if the Hammon Bears is a possible reality.
39:23
Speaker 8: You know, I've always I think a lot of us
39:25
Speaker 8: maybe just assume they're just putting the pressure on Pritzker
39:28
Speaker 8: in the Chicago.
39:28
Speaker 9: Maybe that's the case, but there's also.
39:30
Speaker 8: A point where you're gonna get a bluff called you
39:32
Speaker 8: have to be ready to follow through on it right,
39:34
Speaker 8: And I kind of hope that the possibility stays alive
39:38
Speaker 8: after today so I can keep cracking.
39:39
Speaker 9: Those jokes off.
39:40
Speaker 2: Remember Kevin Warren's running this thing, that's right. Remember Kevin
39:43
Speaker 2: Warren's running this thing.
39:44
Speaker 7: True, that's the part of this. Kevin Warren is running
39:47
Speaker 7: this thing so big. Ten folks do know that there
39:49
Speaker 7: is a possibility for this thing to go a little
39:51
Speaker 7: bit haywire. Oh my, could be fun. I like again,
39:55
Speaker 7: I'm here for it to get more wind than the
39:56
Speaker 7: sales drew of Arman. Like you would have to, you
40:00
Speaker 7: would have cooked this thing up in a fully baked
40:03
Speaker 7: theory that the Bears seven months ago would be moving
40:06
Speaker 7: to Indiana. And then it was what day before the
40:09
Speaker 7: Packers and Bears game on that Saturday night, the first
40:13
Speaker 7: of the two meetings in Chicago, when the story got released.
40:16
Speaker 7: It's this has happened very very quickly in Armin's right.
40:19
Speaker 7: At some point, you got to have your bluff called,
40:21
Speaker 7: and we'll see if they're actually about that action. But
40:23
Speaker 7: it seems like we're gonna have It's gonna get to
40:25
Speaker 7: put up our shut up time here later on this afternoon.
40:27

Speaker 2: for I'm gonna pop one of them gummies and just
40:31
Speaker 2: enjoy the reality television.
40:33
Speaker 8: I always felt like the one thing that was, you know,
40:35
Speaker 8: that would unite both partisan politics of sports, like you
40:39
Speaker 8: can't you can't mess with that stuff, right if you're
40:41
Speaker 8: a politician one side or the other.
40:42
Speaker 2: But it may not be the case.
40:43
Speaker 9: I'm not really sure, right, Drew. But I always felt
40:45
Speaker 9: like with the Brewers.
40:46
Speaker 8: Stadium back in the day, or when it was Bucks
40:47
Speaker 8: Stadium time, that both sides that was the one thing
40:50
Speaker 8: that they would both work to other to get done,
40:51
Speaker 8: because one thing that would make everybody mad was if
40:54
Speaker 8: you lost your team.
40:54
Speaker 9: Now they're not technically losing the team, I get it.
40:57
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, would they have to ask about a Lake
40:59
Speaker 2: Forest Hall? That was the question we were wondering too
41:02
Speaker 2: last week.
41:03
Speaker 7: Like they put a lot of money into Hollas Hall,
41:05
Speaker 7: they got a lot of money into House Hall, but
41:07
Speaker 7: they in reality, they could still stay at the same
41:10
Speaker 7: team hotel, right, and they could still all live in Illinois.
41:14
Speaker 7: But maybe if you know, we're giving you this sweetheart
41:16
Speaker 7: tax bill here in the state of Indiana, we'd really
41:18
Speaker 7: appreciate more of these players with some of those money
41:21
Speaker 7: tellers buying homes in this beautiful metropolis of northwest Indiana.

Speaker 7: outside of the Bears having the most successful on the
41:31
Speaker 7: field season that they've had in a decade plus. Absolutely right, Like,
