- 1:52Speaker 1: talking to a Hunter bombguard at seven to thirty.
- 1:56Speaker 4: I gotta wonder if Hunter is getting enough suggestions or
- 2:00Speaker 4: requests I should say for the wind Breaker coming up
- 2:04Speaker 4: on Saturday night for brewers and pirates. They got some
- 2:07Speaker 4: sweet giveaways rolling through here.
- 2:09Speaker 3: They've had amazing giveaways all year, the Whipple Ball set.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Now the wind Breaker is gonna be really popular. People
- 2:14Speaker 3: love wearing those things again, So yeah, I would wonder
- 2:17Speaker 3: if he's going to be getting some sort of offers.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Because I got to assume that bard Dice set is
- 2:22Speaker 4: the one that people are trying to get the most
- 2:24Speaker 4: this year. Last year, cribbage board in May was the
- 2:28Speaker 4: was the hot to do, was the hottest item. But
- 2:31Speaker 4: at wind Breakers some serious stuff that they got that
- 2:33Speaker 4: they're packing coming up on Saturday night. So get back
- 2:36Speaker 4: to the ballpark coming up this weekend. But three in Detroit.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Now, was this.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Rivalry back in the al days as much or was
- 2:43Speaker 4: this just more passing for the battle of like.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Heated per se. They had some competitive games, but it
- 2:49Speaker 1: wasn't like a hatred. Yeah, more of just like a
- 2:51Speaker 1: general mutual respect. Remember I remember seeing them a lot.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I don't remember any bad blood or anything like that.
- 2:57Speaker 3: We would see Detroit a lot, very simil the rest
- 3:00Speaker 3: these days, very similar to the rest the division team
- 3:03Speaker 3: that passes in the night. Now, Cecil had some memorable
- 3:05Speaker 3: moments in Connie Stadium.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Did he hit one out of the out of the
- 3:08Speaker 1: stadium against police sack? Yeah, so that was memorable. Yep,
- 3:11Speaker 1: that's a great story that police sacked tells because his
- 3:14Speaker 1: mom was like ironing clothes or doing something and Sports
- 3:17Speaker 1: Center was on and she's like, I didn't see it,
- 3:19Speaker 1: but did you give up a home run to Cecil
- 3:20Speaker 1: fielder yesterday? And he said, yeah, you didn't see the
- 3:24Speaker 1: highlight And she said, no, I just heard it. I
- 3:26Speaker 1: heard it in passing. He goes, oh, yeah, it just
- 3:28Speaker 1: barely got out and he said, I didn't tell her.
- 3:32Speaker 1: It just barely got out of the stadium. Yeah, not
- 3:35Speaker 1: the ballpark. That not the playing field, the stadium. It
- 3:39Speaker 1: just got the back wall and hit it in the
- 3:41Speaker 1: parking lot of County Stadium.
- 3:42Speaker 3: You know, hit the ball out of the ballpark. It
- 3:44Speaker 3: was kind of something that it was. It's an idea
- 3:47Speaker 3: that lived in lower in my youth.
- 3:49Speaker 2: For some reason.
- 3:50Speaker 3: He had it all the way out of the and
- 3:51Speaker 3: there was almost no stadium you could do it in
- 3:53Speaker 3: the eighties that had that sort of band box.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Tyger Stadium, Reggie Jackson hit one.
- 3:57Speaker 3: He was one, but Connie Stadium was the one where
- 3:59Speaker 3: you could legitimate if you win and got a hold
- 4:01Speaker 3: of it, get it out of bleachers.
- 4:02Speaker 1: When the Bash Brothers were the thing, McGuire and Konseka
- 4:06Speaker 1: put on a show in BP and it was like
- 4:07Speaker 1: they were hitting titleists in a couple of those they
- 4:10Speaker 1: peppered a couple over that back. Yeah, the wind had
- 4:12Speaker 1: to be blowing right, but it was incredible. I think
- 4:16Speaker 1: that that's why there was some excitement.
- 4:17Speaker 3: We talked about the All Star Game at Ben Miller
- 4:20Speaker 3: Park during the home run derby, when the panels were open,
- 4:24Speaker 3: guys were letting them go out of the state.
- 4:26Speaker 1: They were also using the superjuice titleist baseballs.
- 4:29Speaker 4: I was gonna say they were enjoying those baseballs, which
- 4:32Speaker 4: I'm not against them using again, right like, especially for
- 4:36Speaker 4: the derby fire up as many of those titleist baseballs
- 4:39Speaker 4: as whatever. However, we got to cook them things in
- 4:41Speaker 4: the oven, get them just right to see if we
- 4:44Speaker 4: can hit the five hundred and sixty five foot home
- 4:46Speaker 4: run there, Mickey Manton, I just want to see if
- 4:49Speaker 4: we can finally best it with the best technology has
- 4:52Speaker 4: to offer.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So we were paying tribute last week to Phil Garner,
- 4:56Speaker 1: the Lady News manager, and one of the things he
- 4:58Speaker 1: was such a visionary in so many ways, but one
- 4:59Speaker 1: of the things he said when the Cardinals acquired McGuire,
- 5:04Speaker 1: he was beating the drums trying to get the Brewers
- 5:06Speaker 1: to bring him in because the Cardinals ended up giving
- 5:08Speaker 1: up much up for McGuire out Yeap and Garner knew
- 5:11Speaker 1: he's like, this guy's a freak show. People will pay
- 5:14Speaker 1: money to watch this guy take BP just to watch him. Yeah, Like,
- 5:17Speaker 1: if you can get him, bring him in like sell
- 5:21Speaker 1: and let's enjoy the show.
- 5:22Speaker 4: BP is one of those things, Drew that needs to
- 5:25Speaker 4: be more of a celebrations. It needs to be advertised
- 5:29Speaker 4: more like and I know back I'm sounding old here,
- 5:32Speaker 4: but like the ten years ago, you used to get
- 5:34Speaker 4: into the Brewers game almost every night two hours before
- 5:37Speaker 4: the game, and you'd get a good hour worth of
- 5:39Speaker 4: visiting BP and just seeing the insane talent of these dudes.
- 5:44Speaker 4: I mean, like I would always say it whenever the
- 5:47Speaker 4: Warriors are in town, damn near better than the third
- 5:50Speaker 4: and fourth quarter will be an hour before the game
- 5:52Speaker 4: when you get to see twenty minutes of Steph Curry
- 5:54Speaker 4: shooting a basketball doing ridiculous stuff.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And BP is just in that same ilk for baseball BP.
- 6:00Speaker 1: But they could bring back infield, which nobody does anymore,
- 6:03Speaker 1: but before games, like before every game they used to
- 6:05Speaker 1: take infield where guys would be out at the positions,
- 6:06Speaker 1: coaches be hitting fungals. You'd see guys throw from right
- 6:09Speaker 1: field to third base and they would see out that way.
- 6:12Speaker 1: They never do that anymore. It was a great showcase.
- 6:15Speaker 1: That was another. That was another Speaking of another visionary,
- 6:18Speaker 1: Doug Melvin used to always say, I know it's tradition
- 6:21Speaker 1: and stuff, but why do we have the home team
- 6:23Speaker 1: hit first when the ballpark is empty and not let
- 6:25Speaker 1: your home fans see your guys take BP. It's like, well,
- 6:28Speaker 1: they want the extra arrest before. Well, then you would
- 6:30Speaker 1: get that on the road, yes, and it would be like,
- 6:33Speaker 1: let the fans see your guys. And He's like, we're
- 6:35Speaker 1: missing an opportunity here to have the great marketing. Yeah. Cool,
- 6:39Speaker 1: you know Marlins are doing that? Yeah? Did you guys
- 6:42Speaker 1: mention that? I don't know.
- 6:43Speaker 3: No, I think that Marlins are doing it. I think
- 6:45Speaker 3: a whole tweet about Okay, I thought that they were.
- 6:49Speaker 4: They only have one hundred people there anyway, you might
- 6:52Speaker 4: as well give them the best show you can find.
- 6:53Speaker 1: The Marlins when they played at the Old Joe Robbie
- 6:56Speaker 1: Pro Player or whatever the hell it is without a roof,
- 6:59Speaker 1: they would like it rained it rains every afternoon in
- 7:02Speaker 1: Florida in the summer like and for certain months it
- 7:04Speaker 1: rains for an hour like every day, and you would
- 7:06Speaker 1: never have batting practice on the field because it was
- 7:09Speaker 1: always pouring in Miami. So it was like, yeah, it
- 7:13Speaker 1: was like you set your watch by it.
- 7:14Speaker 4: It was wild seeing the game in the Miami Sun
- 7:18Speaker 4: on Saturday. Yeah, I to be honest with you, have
- 7:21Speaker 4: not watched a game where the roof has been that
- 7:23Speaker 4: much of a factor in Miami. Man Ryan Brown must
- 7:26Speaker 4: have hated that game because those shadows.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Were devilish during that game. I would tom back where
- 7:32Speaker 1: his old college stomping grounds. That's true. Yeah, he would
- 7:34Speaker 1: have liked to see the logo Trader off side. Yeah,
- 7:36Speaker 1: it would have even Steven So speaking of the Birds,
- 7:39Speaker 1: we mentioned Hunters gonna join us, but they have won
- 7:41Speaker 1: two series in a row. They lost. They're coming off
- 7:43Speaker 1: a loss facing the Tigers, and you talk about a gauntlet,
- 7:48Speaker 1: you want to set your calendars. It looks like if
- 7:51Speaker 1: the schedules hold, the Brewers will face Cy Young winner
- 7:55Speaker 1: Tark Schooble on Thursday and getaway Day in Detroit, and
- 7:59Speaker 1: then on Friday they'll face Paul Skins in back to
- 8:01Speaker 1: back games, back to back. Yeah, by young back to backs.
- 8:04Speaker 3: You hope to get a split out of that, right,
- 8:06Speaker 3: And that's kind of the way you look at it.
- 8:07Speaker 4: You want to get a hit, yeah, right, Yeah, I'm
- 8:10Speaker 4: hoping that we can make But he chase schemes.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Early again, why can't they catch a soft cupcake, like
- 8:19Speaker 1: you know, Gary Crochet.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Well, and my guess is Drew, they're gonna they're gonna
- 8:23Speaker 4: wreck one of those guys, right, Schemes will get out
- 8:26Speaker 4: by the fifth inning, they'll tag him for three or
- 8:28Speaker 4: four runs and then uh, there will be some no
- 8:31Speaker 4: name guy that you're in completely anticipating being able to tag,
- 8:36Speaker 4: and he'll be the guy to go six and a
- 8:37Speaker 4: third of shut up means Woodruff must see TV on.
- 8:40Speaker 1: That's gonna be a good matchup what he's throwing. Great man,
- 8:43Speaker 1: he's like reinvented himself. He looks like Greg Maddox out there.
- 8:46Speaker 1: He've gotten it. He reached back. It's that ninety six
- 8:48Speaker 1: when he desperately needs it, but he's dotting it at
- 8:51Speaker 1: ninety two and making it move.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Uh huh. And you could hear even b a get
- 8:55Speaker 4: a little kiddy when when what. He reached back for
- 8:57Speaker 4: that one too, because you can tell like it's gotta
- 9:00Speaker 4: be a different he's such a different pitcher.
- 9:03Speaker 1: But that confidence that he has on the mound drew.
- 9:05Speaker 4: He was always he was always a different kind of
- 9:08Speaker 4: swaggy on the pump, right, like that Southern confidence and
- 9:11Speaker 4: demeanor and intimidation. Now he's just like, don't worry, I
- 9:16Speaker 4: might be better than you. I just I know I'm
- 9:18Speaker 4: not as overpowering, but I'm still better than you. And
- 9:21Speaker 4: whatever whatever Will Wilson Contraras is gonna be yelling over
- 9:24Speaker 4: there at First Base.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. I'm dialing on what I'm doing

- 10:21Speaker 4: the NFL Draft?
- 10:22Speaker 3: What?
- 10:23Speaker 4: God, why Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania waking up for a big football weekend?
- 10:29Speaker 4: You know what they're not going to get apparently, and
- 10:31Speaker 4: answer on who their quarterback is going to be. This
- 10:34Speaker 4: from Ian Rappaport of the NFL Network maybe ESPN. The
- 10:38Speaker 4: Steelers have not received word from Aaron Rodgers on his future,
- 10:43Speaker 4: and there is no expectation of a final decision prior
- 10:46Speaker 4: to the NFL Draft, per rap Sheet and Tom Pelisero.
- 10:51Speaker 4: When mini camp begins today under new coach Mike McCarthy,
- 10:56Speaker 4: national champion Will Howard will be quarterback one for the Pittsburgh.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Because that would be an epic opportunity for him to
- 11:02Speaker 3: drop in and announce his return right and pick and
- 11:05Speaker 3: make a pick and stuff like that.
- 11:07Speaker 1: He does it right there on Friday night.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Maybe there's a big I think McAfee's doing some live
- 11:12Speaker 4: event on Wednesday.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Maybe he does it there.
- 11:15Speaker 4: People thought he was gonna announce it when McAfee did
- 11:18Speaker 4: something in Pittsburgh last year.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Didn't happen.
- 11:20Speaker 4: But I just thin ye around in twenty twenty six,
- 11:25Speaker 4: you're still wondering what Aaron Rodgers is gonna do.
- 11:27Speaker 1: He always said, guys, I'm not gonna hold anybody hostage.
- 11:30Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna prolong and drag this thing out
- 11:34Speaker 1: and take forever to let you know what I'm gonna do.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wait till the.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Schedule release date now and let you know if he's
- 11:40Speaker 4: gonna end up coming back and playing for the Pittsburgh.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Steelers this week.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Well, of course everyone's definition on what a long time
- 11:46Speaker 3: is it's probably different. But yeah, you're right, Billy, you.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Don't think draft week is a long time.
- 11:50Speaker 3: No, he's taking his time. I agree, But maybe he
- 11:52Speaker 3: doesn't think that, but I think he is taking his
- 11:55Speaker 3: time here. So listen, it's not are the Steelers gonna
- 11:59Speaker 3: draft a quarterback? Maybe we'll see it'd be interesting to
- 12:02Speaker 3: see that game ball. I have a game ball, guys,
- 12:06Speaker 3: Can I drop more than grind game ball? To the
- 12:10Speaker 3: long suffering Buffalo Sabers fans and Sabers who won a
- 12:14Speaker 3: big game last night and their return to the playoffs.
- 12:16Speaker 3: It looked like, you know, all the excitement over the
- 12:19Speaker 3: first home playoff game for the Sabers in like fifteen years, right.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Uh, they were down to nothing, had.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Four Lake goals in the span of six minutes and
- 12:26Speaker 3: the third to take the win, and uh, Sabers fans
- 12:29Speaker 3: in the crowd got a lot of a lot of
- 12:31Speaker 3: good publicity last night for their excitement. You see some
- 12:33Speaker 3: of the videos and I'll say this, guys, maybe this
- 12:36Speaker 3: is something I should say for Hotte Humpty, but this
- 12:39Speaker 3: is what you see out of Buffalo fans. Obviously great
- 12:42Speaker 3: sports fans there. We know about the Bills mafia, we
- 12:45Speaker 3: know about Sabers fans.
- 12:46Speaker 1: When you're long starved like.
- 12:48Speaker 3: They have been in football and obviously in hockey now
- 12:52Speaker 3: have not been to the playoffs in fifteen years, you
- 12:55Speaker 3: see the excitement of getting getting something to cheer for again,
- 13:00Speaker 3: and being hungry and star for success and getting it.
- 13:03Speaker 3: You see the joy, the pure joy of fans when
- 13:06Speaker 3: you're not entitled to getting a bunch of wins. And
- 13:09Speaker 3: sometimes I think this is the trap we've fallen to
- 13:11Speaker 3: around here because we've had so many teams be so
- 13:14Speaker 3: good at a certain level for so long.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Brewers have been to the playoffs. Packers have been in
- 13:17Speaker 1: the playoffs.
- 13:18Speaker 3: We know about the Bucks that sometimes we get a
- 13:20Speaker 3: little spoiled with that certain level of success and we
- 13:22Speaker 3: don't appreciate. Now always say, try try to appreciate all
- 13:26Speaker 3: the success the Brewers have had the last five ten years,
- 13:29Speaker 3: because it wasn't always like that. So there's an example
- 13:32Speaker 3: of a fan base that has been starved for so
- 13:34Speaker 3: long and the true appreciation they have over just one
- 13:37Speaker 3: playoff win.
- 13:38Speaker 1: They were going crazy last night. Is this the point
- 13:41Speaker 1: of the year where we have to say that sometimes
- 13:44Speaker 1: playoff experience is overrated? Yeah, a little bit.
- 13:48Speaker 4: And then mister Wembiana has entered the check. Yeah, Victor
- 13:52Speaker 4: wemb entered the chat yesterday. But then the Philadelphia or
- 13:55Speaker 4: the pardon me, the Detroit Pistons said, excuse me, Maybe
- 13:58Speaker 4: it does right, Maybe it is a little bit of
- 14:01Speaker 4: a factors. They get beat by the eight seeded Magic
- 14:04Speaker 4: who everybody was planning was out now beginning of the year.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Remember they were gonna win the title because they traded
- 14:10Speaker 4: four first round picks for Desmond Bane, so they were
- 14:13Speaker 4: everybody's favorite pick out of the Eastern Conference. Then going
- 14:17Speaker 4: into the play in game on Friday night, nobody wanted
- 14:20Speaker 4: to see the magic win. Everybody was excited about the
- 14:23Speaker 4: Flying Nipples and the Charlotte Hornets. They beat the breaks
- 14:26Speaker 4: off of them on Friday night and then roll up
- 14:27Speaker 4: into Detroit and beat the Pistons last night. So it
- 14:31Speaker 4: might be it might be a problem, It might be
- 14:33Speaker 4: a little overrated. The other one is Drew, especially in
- 14:35Speaker 4: hockey man home court and home ice very overrated, very
- 14:40Speaker 4: overrated in hockey because those games are gonna be wild wherever.
- 14:45Speaker 4: It ends up, turning to maybe a little bit of
- 14:47Speaker 4: a kicking the balls of the Sabers fans.
- 14:50Speaker 1: What god, what, oh God.
- 14:52Speaker 4: They had a very excited moment. They beat the drum
- 14:55Speaker 4: to start the game out. There was a lot of excitement.
- 14:58Speaker 4: What fifteen years they haven't at a home playoff game, right,
- 15:01Speaker 4: Who is going to start up the fireworks and get
- 15:04Speaker 4: this place rocking? Then the wife of the radio announcer
- 15:07Speaker 4: a lot of people thought it was gonna be Josh Allen.
- 15:09Speaker 4: There were some people that thought it was gonna be
- 15:11Speaker 4: Thurman Thomas. There was a lot of big names, maybe
- 15:15Speaker 4: new head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Joe Brady.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Right, it was the wife of a broadcast.
- 15:20Speaker 4: Of the broadcast, and there were there were some people
- 15:21Speaker 4: that were not very happy in the combination.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I feel like real ones would appreciate that, like the
- 15:27Speaker 3: long suffering brought. Like the real fans always appreciate the
- 15:30Speaker 3: broadcasters that have had to set through the years of
- 15:33Speaker 3: losing if they have a moment.
- 15:34Speaker 1: So maybe the real ones that appreciate that. I don't know.
- 15:37Speaker 1: I guess there's two ways you can look at it.
- 15:39Speaker 3: But you're right, I guess when you're looking for a
- 15:40Speaker 3: big name, it's probably not the first thing you think of.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Uh.
- 15:44Speaker 3: So I'll I guess that's understandable. Kicking the balls, I've
- 15:47Speaker 3: got one to uh. New Blazers owner Tom Dundan all
- 15:52Speaker 3: right on not sending the two way players on the
- 15:57Speaker 3: road due to cost cutting measures by new team owner.
- 16:00Speaker 3: But Blazers run by Paul Allen, they had their own plane.
- 16:03Speaker 3: They had Blazers one. It was a famous plane. That's
- 16:05Speaker 3: when the jail blazers would go crazy on Blazers.
- 16:08Speaker 1: One was his own plane. I don't know if they
- 16:09Speaker 1: don't have that anymore. And it's cheap.
- 16:10Speaker 3: We're not a non send those guys, but that's a
- 16:13Speaker 3: cheap move. You're not sending two way players in the
- 16:14Speaker 3: road in the playoffs. Couldn't believe that one. So that's
- 16:17Speaker 3: a big kicking the balls right there.
- 16:19Speaker 4: How about a kicking the balls to whoever came up
- 16:21Speaker 4: in San Antonio with the tri colored color out last night?
- 16:26Speaker 1: Were the stands? You set a game ball? Billy kicking
- 16:28Speaker 1: the ball? You set a game ball? What that was?
- 16:32Speaker 4: Oh my visual disturbance last night. It was disgusting.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I loved it. What are we doing with
- 16:41Speaker 1: a what do we do? What are we doing here?
- 16:42Speaker 1: First off? Looking cool, it's the first round.
- 16:46Speaker 3: Well this might be their only round. They haven't been
- 16:47Speaker 3: to the playoffs in seven years. They gotta get crazy.
- 16:50Speaker 4: This is San Antonio Spurs that won five titles in
- 16:52Speaker 4: fifteen years. Yeah, is this the San Antonio Spurs with
- 16:55Speaker 4: maybe the best coach of this generation in Greg Popovich
- 16:59Speaker 4: still run the organization.
- 17:00Speaker 1: But this is a new era.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Billy, is this the San Antonio Spurs that were told
- 17:04Speaker 4: to me to have the player that apparently is gonna
- 17:06Speaker 4: change all of basketball. Yeah, and we're dressing up in
- 17:11Speaker 4: three different colors for game one.
- 17:14Speaker 1: That was first off.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Off. If you're gonna do the color out, do a
- 17:18Speaker 4: single color. I don't love the red and white out.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I don't like the blue and gold out.
- 17:24Speaker 1: I like if you're.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Gonna if you're gonna force feed and have some video
- 17:29Speaker 4: intern putting pictures of people up during the game or
- 17:33Speaker 4: during the pregame, So put.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Your shirt on. Put the cool shirt on that we
- 17:37Speaker 1: gave you this fluorescent orange shirt. Put this on. It's
- 17:41Speaker 1: a cool shirt.
- 17:42Speaker 4: At least put it in one color so it is
- 17:44Speaker 4: not such a disturbance and annoyance while watching the game.
- 17:48Speaker 1: All right, that's your opinion. My opinion was it was
- 17:51Speaker 1: super cool.
- 17:51Speaker 3: I love the look, and I'm glad they all put
- 17:53Speaker 3: their shirts on on like fans around.
- 17:55Speaker 1: We're gonna die on that, but we're gonna disagree on that. Billy.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Who's hot? Who's not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen?
- 18:01Speaker 1: Heating and cooling? Lots and lots of candidates for both.
- 18:06Speaker 4: There are a lot of different candidates that could be
- 18:08Speaker 4: one who's hot? How about Donovan Mitchell? He goes off
- 18:11Speaker 4: for thirty two in the Cavs first game of the
- 18:14Speaker 4: playoffs as they take on the Toronto Raptors.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Drew he has.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Now gone for thirty in nine consecutive game ones of
- 18:23Speaker 4: playoff series, announcing his presence early into a series, something
- 18:28Speaker 4: he was doing significantly yesterday or this week for Donovan Mitchell.
- 18:31Speaker 4: And how about another guy who has always been fond
- 18:34Speaker 4: for me, Paolo Benkaro. Yesterday twenty three points, he led
- 18:39Speaker 4: the Orlando Magic into Detroit beat the Pistons.
- 18:43Speaker 1: In Game one.
- 18:44Speaker 4: Now might be the only game the Magic winning the
- 18:46Speaker 4: series very much could be, could be, Or we could
- 18:50Speaker 4: be headed towards an absolute slobber knocker and maybe the
- 18:53Speaker 4: team that everybody was expecting to be able to get
- 18:56Speaker 4: drummed out of the or be a little bit of
- 18:58Speaker 4: a second round disappointment in Detroit, maybe a first round
- 19:03Speaker 4: misery as they get bounced out. It could be a
- 19:05Speaker 4: lot of fun in the playoffs. But the most important
- 19:07Speaker 4: thing is Drew. Who's hot. Roman rains it is our
- 19:13Speaker 4: tribal chief as he once again wins the world Heavyweight
- 19:16Speaker 4: Championship last night in the main event of WrestleMania. He
- 19:20Speaker 4: was phenomenal. The man is absolutely yoked. We got Pete
- 19:23Speaker 4: hitting us up on the talking text line about it.
- 19:26Speaker 4: It was phenomenal. It was a great finish to what
- 19:29Speaker 4: otherwise was kind of a disappointing weekend. It wasn't all
- 19:32Speaker 4: that great of a WrestleMania. But whenever Roman Reigns is
- 19:35Speaker 4: gonna be putting a finger high up into the air
- 19:37Speaker 4: and hoisting that title belt and standing up strong and
- 19:42Speaker 4: tall for the long haired guys holding up a title belt,
- 19:45Speaker 4: believing that you actually look like Roman Reigns with a
- 19:47Speaker 4: sweet tribal tat. You don't look as cool as that
- 19:50Speaker 4: with your tribal tat. He was doing it last night.
- 19:53Speaker 4: And back atop the WWE mountain, Shout out out and
- 19:56Speaker 4: shout out Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling. Forty years in business,
- 20:00Speaker 4: employee owned nothing better than that Hunter bombguard our baseball
- 20:04Speaker 4: go to guy joins us next year.
- 20:06Speaker 1: In the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Continuing the Huddle,
- 20:16Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Wilson, Bill Schmidt, armand Sarian's back.
- 20:20Speaker 1: There's a reason our streaming numbers are up again. Arman
- 20:24Speaker 1: sorry and is back in the saddle. Deliver the goods
- 20:27Speaker 1: the numbers. The numbers always go up when we go
- 20:29Speaker 1: to our Brewers. Go to guy Hunter Bombguard that joins
- 20:32Speaker 1: us now live early this morning. Good morning, Hunter, how
- 20:37Speaker 1: are you?
- 20:38Speaker 2: Good morning? I'm good. How are you guys?
- 20:39Speaker 1: We're great, plowing our way through and uh, you know,
- 20:44Speaker 1: Brewers are playing okay, a little rough one yesterday, rough
- 20:47Speaker 1: start for the mizz in his first inning. But Hunter,
- 20:50Speaker 1: what was your take overall about the weekend?
- 20:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you win another series, especially after losing
- 20:56Speaker 2: six in a row. They were able to get four
- 20:58Speaker 2: of those wins back if you want to look at
- 21:00Speaker 2: it that way, right, and get back to twelve and
- 21:03Speaker 2: eight before losing yesterday, and then they're at twelve and
- 21:05Speaker 2: nine now. But I mean, considering everything, considering the injuries
- 21:09Speaker 2: these guys have fought through and some of the woes
- 21:12Speaker 2: the bullpen has had, guys you relied on last year
- 21:15Speaker 2: not being as good this year so far, considering all
- 21:18Speaker 2: of that, twelve and nine you would take it. I
- 21:21Speaker 2: think if you would have said on opening day that
- 21:23Speaker 2: all of these things would happen within the first few
- 21:25Speaker 2: weeks of the season and you'd still be sitting at
- 21:27Speaker 2: twelve and nine. So I think overall, you look at
- 21:30Speaker 2: it and you say, sure, would you love to have
- 21:32Speaker 2: some of those games back. Would you love not to
- 21:33Speaker 2: go on a six game losing streak, Yes, But in totality,
- 21:36Speaker 2: the first few weeks of the season I think has
- 21:38Speaker 2: went pretty well considering the circumstance.
- 21:41Speaker 4: That's a good way of putting it one hundred because
- 21:43Speaker 4: it's also, like we say this a lot more in football,
- 21:45Speaker 4: but it's not necessarily who you play, it's when you
- 21:47Speaker 4: play them, and you can't know that until it pans
- 21:51Speaker 4: out and Drew's doing the math during the last hour,
- 21:53Speaker 4: we're like, okay, So Schooble one day, schemes the next day,
- 21:57Speaker 4: Keller potentially the next day. That's a great way of
- 22:01Speaker 4: meeting in some of the better pitchers in all of
- 22:03Speaker 4: baseball two cy young winners. The who you play and
- 22:06Speaker 4: when you play them might not be great when you have,
- 22:08Speaker 4: you know, three, if not four of your best hitters
- 22:11Speaker 4: in your opening day lineup are on paper not in
- 22:15Speaker 4: the lineup. Feels like they're kind of adjusting notes to
- 22:18Speaker 4: having to play maybe a little bit different fashion of
- 22:20Speaker 4: baseball to win when offensively they're just not going to
- 22:24Speaker 4: be the same without Yellich, Churio Vaughn and add in
- 22:28Speaker 4: what else they're going to be potentially missing on a
- 22:30Speaker 4: day in and day out basis if a guy has
- 22:31Speaker 4: missed one or two.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're What they're really doing is kind
- 22:36Speaker 2: of even maybe putting more of an emphasis on what
- 22:38Speaker 2: they've done in the past and the fact that, Okay,
- 22:41Speaker 2: you know this team's gonna run. You know, this team's
- 22:43Speaker 2: gonna try to manufacture. You know, this team's gonna bunt
- 22:45Speaker 2: at times, and they're kind of leaning more into that
- 22:48Speaker 2: just because they kind of have to in order to
- 22:50Speaker 2: score runs. Right now, they're not gonna get the pop
- 22:52Speaker 2: in the lineup from a Churio of Vaughan or a Yelich,
- 22:54Speaker 2: Like you said, so, how are you going to get runs?
- 22:57Speaker 2: Different ways? You're gonna steal second and the ball goes
- 22:59Speaker 2: into center field and you get to third, are you
- 23:01Speaker 2: gonna you know, take advantage of some odd mistakes the
- 23:04Speaker 2: Marlins made over the weekend and put just again, that's
- 23:07Speaker 2: because they're putting pressure on the opponent. And so that's
- 23:10Speaker 2: when obviously this team was going best last year, that's
- 23:12Speaker 2: when this team was going best over their eight and
- 23:14Speaker 2: two start, was putting the pressure on opponents, and unfortunately
- 23:17Speaker 2: their offense isn't doing that as much so far this year,
- 23:21Speaker 2: just because, like you said, the horses are not necessarily
- 23:23Speaker 2: in that lineup. However, when they're still able to when
- 23:26Speaker 2: guys do get on whether it be a walk, whether
- 23:28Speaker 2: it be a single, whether it be an air, whatever
- 23:30Speaker 2: it is that they're getting on base, they are still
- 23:33Speaker 2: able to the thread of the steel and pushing the
- 23:36Speaker 2: opponent to see what they can do and make them
- 23:38Speaker 2: make a play. So that's kind of it seems like
- 23:41Speaker 2: that's what's been over those four games they want in
- 23:43Speaker 2: a row there, two against Toronto, two against Miami. That
- 23:46Speaker 2: was what the Brewers were doing, and that's kind of
- 23:48Speaker 2: the way they have to play, not only you know
- 23:50Speaker 2: when these guys are out, but also when they're in.
- 23:53Speaker 2: But right now it seems to even be more important.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Hunter Bombguard joining us here. Here's appearance is brought to
- 23:58Speaker 1: just by import Minded, your trusted trusted source for imported cars.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Exceptional Vehicle Cares out twenty seventh Street, just north of
- 24:06Speaker 1: eight ninety four. All right, Hunter, what do you say
- 24:08Speaker 1: to fans who would ask you, Coleman Crow comes up,
- 24:11Speaker 1: pitch lights out? Why did they send him down right away?
- 24:13Speaker 1: Why aren't they like putting him in the rotation and
- 24:15Speaker 1: giving him a ten year contract? Yeah?
- 24:18Speaker 2: That was fun, I mean that, Yeah, I look, I
- 24:22Speaker 2: wouldn't have wanted him to go back down, but there's
- 24:24Speaker 2: nowhere in the rotation right now. I mean, think about this.
- 24:28Speaker 2: The last nine games for the Brewers, there has not
- 24:30Speaker 2: been a starter to give up more than tour in
- 24:32Speaker 2: runs the last nine games.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Amazing.
- 24:35Speaker 2: So you think, you think about that and the way
- 24:38Speaker 2: at which this starting rotation is pitching right now, you
- 24:42Speaker 2: don't want to take anybody out of there. And the
- 24:44Speaker 2: only reason Crow got the start was because they pushed
- 24:46Speaker 2: Kyle Harrison back. He had some soreness from his wrist
- 24:49Speaker 2: that fall that he weird play at first with Gary
- 24:51Speaker 2: Sanchez a week ago Saturday against the Nationals, so then
- 24:54Speaker 2: they wanted to push him back. But he's set to
- 24:56Speaker 2: go back into the rotation coming up tomorrow night against
- 24:58Speaker 2: the Tigers, which is good news. He has pitched well
- 25:00Speaker 2: this year so far, and Brandon Sprout's coming to his
- 25:04Speaker 2: own and Chad Patrick has maybe been your best pitcher
- 25:06Speaker 2: so far in the starting rotation, most consistent, Brandon Wood
- 25:10Speaker 2: obviously dominant in his seven innings on Saturday, and then
- 25:14Speaker 2: you have what miss is doing as well, leads the bait,
- 25:16Speaker 2: leads baseball and strikeouts. Right now, like, who are you
- 25:18Speaker 2: going to take out of this rotation? Nobody? Right now,
- 25:21Speaker 2: you could argue, okay, maybe maybe see how your bullpen plays,
- 25:25Speaker 2: but maybe you do move one of these guys, whether
- 25:27Speaker 2: it be Crow, or whether it be bringing up a
- 25:29Speaker 2: gas Er when he's fully healthier or a Henderson, to
- 25:32Speaker 2: maybe aid that bullpen as much as they want to
- 25:34Speaker 2: build them up as starters. And obviously one of these
- 25:37Speaker 2: starters is knock on Wood hopefully not but probably going
- 25:40Speaker 2: to face an injured list stint at some point is
- 25:43Speaker 2: so eventually most likely they're going to need one of
- 25:46Speaker 2: those guys. However, maybe you do consider putting one of
- 25:48Speaker 2: them in the bullpen if they're that effective at the
- 25:51Speaker 2: major league level. But right now, that starting rotation is
- 25:54Speaker 2: just absolutely cooking, And you say, how could they lose?
- 25:58Speaker 2: You know that, how could you have that losing streak
- 26:00Speaker 2: with the starting rotation, Well, you can clearly see why
- 26:04Speaker 2: in some of those games. Obviously the Boston games where
- 26:06Speaker 2: Shane Drowan didn't have a great start. MS fell up
- 26:09Speaker 2: a part a little bit in that sixth inning, but
- 26:11Speaker 2: otherwise that losing streak was mostly because of the bullpen
- 26:14Speaker 2: and because of the offense, because the starters have been dying.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and history tells us you're gonna eventually need that
- 26:19Speaker 3: depth as a starter or anyway, and starters anyway with injury,
- 26:21Speaker 3: whatever's gonna happen. So I think you're, especially in April,
- 26:25Speaker 3: it's way too early to really try and change you guys,
- 26:28Speaker 3: you know, change you guys, movement and changes what you're
- 26:33Speaker 3: building up to be just to help out the bullpen.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Speaking of the bullpen, is it too early to save?
- 26:38Speaker 3: The waters have calmed a bit, roles are starting to
- 26:40Speaker 3: the dust is settling a little bit after that losing streak,
- 26:43Speaker 3: a little bit of improvement over the weekend, or is
- 26:45Speaker 3: it just you know, performance is nonlinear, Hunter, what is
- 26:49Speaker 3: it going to be here?
- 26:50Speaker 2: I think it's great that McGill came back and pitched
- 26:53Speaker 2: two leverage innings after those couple of bumps in the road.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I mean to number one for Murphy and the staff
- 27:01Speaker 2: to put him back in those situations in the eighth
- 27:03Speaker 2: inning in the series finale against the Blue Jays and
- 27:06Speaker 2: then in a situation where he ended the game closing
- 27:09Speaker 2: situation in that tenth inning on Friday night, So I
- 27:13Speaker 2: love it back to back days as well. So that's
- 27:15Speaker 2: good to see. Now he's got a couple of days
- 27:17Speaker 2: to rest and he'll be ready to go for the
- 27:19Speaker 2: Tigers series. So I'm not saying that everything is, you know,
- 27:23Speaker 2: sunshine and rainbows for Termer McGill. Yet, I think there's
- 27:26Speaker 2: still a lot to be done and make sure that
- 27:27Speaker 2: he's still effective. Rebay seems to have calmed the waters
- 27:31Speaker 2: a little bit. Obviously, he didn't want to necessarily go
- 27:33Speaker 2: to him on Saturday Woodford. He would have loved to
- 27:35Speaker 2: have him finish the game there, but you know, you
- 27:37Speaker 2: don't want to risk that with the bases loaded and
- 27:39Speaker 2: Abner is able to get out of that. So yeah,
- 27:41Speaker 2: they have been pitching a little better. However, then you
- 27:44Speaker 2: look at what was at on Hell Serpa right on
- 27:47Speaker 2: Friday night, that you have the lead and that that
- 27:49Speaker 2: game had to go to extra. So I think the
- 27:53Speaker 2: waters are a little calmer than they were a week ago, maybe,
- 27:56Speaker 2: but there's still work to be done in those leverage
- 27:59Speaker 2: spots in the bolt.
- 28:00Speaker 4: I thought the Ribe performance on Saturday was maybe like
- 28:04Speaker 4: the best moment of the year from exactly what you
- 28:07Speaker 4: just anticipated.
- 28:08Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is go to
- 28:10Speaker 1: your closer.
- 28:10Speaker 4: But when you're up five to one, you don't feel
- 28:13Speaker 4: like it's gonna be tenuous. Woodford's been good for you,
- 28:15Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden you have to call
- 28:17Speaker 4: in the reserve for Woodford because he'd completely taken on water.
- 28:20Speaker 4: But Hunter, I mean or number of minutes into this
- 28:24Speaker 4: and once again, another kind of game winning hit for
- 28:26Speaker 4: your boy on Friday night. This Garrett Mitchell season, he
- 28:29Speaker 4: won far right wins the game for him on Friday,
- 28:32Speaker 4: and I would wonder, are we getting into a point
- 28:35Speaker 4: where we're gonna not worry about a lefty righting matchup
- 28:38Speaker 4: for one Garrett Mitchell.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Here's well, if hang on, Hunter, here's the numbers. I
- 28:41Speaker 1: was just looking at it because in twenty twenty four,
- 28:42Speaker 1: when he had a kind of a healthy stretch and
- 28:44Speaker 1: he played the biggest bulk that he's played in the
- 28:47Speaker 1: big leagues. He had two hundred and twenty four plate appearances,
- 28:50Speaker 1: twenty five walks, and twenty one RBI in two hundred
- 28:53Speaker 1: and twenty four plate appearances, twenty five walks, twenty one
- 28:55Speaker 1: RBI this year, sixty seven plate appearances, sixteen walks. He's
- 29:00Speaker 1: RB already leading team and his OBP is four thirty nine.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Right now, Wow, he has it hits Yeah, where everybody
- 29:07Speaker 1: that wanted to give up on him. And when he walks,
- 29:09Speaker 1: he's a stolen base threat, so a walk to him
- 29:11Speaker 1: might be a double Yeah, it works out to it.
- 29:13Speaker 1: So it's like, it's Hunter, you were on the cutting edge,
- 29:16Speaker 1: and we joked that you were the president of his
- 29:18Speaker 1: fan club, but clearly they got something with this guy.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Was right, Yeah, he's just good.
- 29:24Speaker 2: I don't know what else to tell, Like, I like,
- 29:26Speaker 2: he's just a really talented player. Now, can there's exactly
- 29:31Speaker 2: and and does that always come true? Does that always
- 29:33Speaker 2: pan out? For players? Not necessarily? Right, there's players that
- 29:37Speaker 2: don't necessarily go to their full potential. But I think
- 29:39Speaker 2: for him, unfortunately, we just have not been able to
- 29:42Speaker 2: see that consistently because he's gotten injured h and at
- 29:45Speaker 2: so many points in his career so far. So I
- 29:48Speaker 2: was just excited to say, all right, let's see how
- 29:49Speaker 2: this guy does. Is your everyday guy. Uh And and
- 29:53Speaker 2: you know, Cherio getting hurt has aided that because they
- 29:55Speaker 2: needed him in the lineup, and his production has aided
- 29:57Speaker 2: that because you don't want to keep him out of
- 29:58Speaker 2: the lineup. I mean, he's he's hitting technically. I haven't
- 30:02Speaker 2: looked at the latest numbers, but I would think this
- 30:04Speaker 2: is pretty much true. Still way less at bats against lefties,
- 30:08Speaker 2: but his batting average is better against lefties and rightings.
- 30:10Speaker 2: So I think you just play it now. I know
- 30:13Speaker 2: it's way less of a sample size against lefties. He
- 30:16Speaker 2: just play him every day, and I think, you know,
- 30:18Speaker 2: do you have to give a guy a day off? Yes,
- 30:19Speaker 2: they gave William Contreraz the day off for the most
- 30:21Speaker 2: part yesterday except that pitch hitting spot. So yes, it
- 30:25Speaker 2: is April, and I don't need to see this guy
- 30:27Speaker 2: play every single day, especially with his injury history, but
- 30:30Speaker 2: more often than not, put him in that lineup because,
- 30:33Speaker 2: like you said, he's been clutch, he's been getting on
- 30:35Speaker 2: bas sure, would you like to see the strikeouts go down? Yeah,
- 30:39Speaker 2: that's probably the one part of the game that you
- 30:40Speaker 2: would However, Yesterday gets the ball and play gets the
- 30:43Speaker 2: run in to get the Brewers on the board there
- 30:45Speaker 2: down three zero, then down three to one. So I
- 30:48Speaker 2: think you do. You're seeing him be productive in these
- 30:51Speaker 2: different spots, and yes, so I would definitely want him
- 30:53Speaker 2: to play more often than I know.
- 30:55Speaker 1: It's frustrating for a lot of people. But all strikeouts
- 30:59Speaker 1: are not created equal. Like strike out with a guy
- 31:01Speaker 1: on third and one out, that's bad. Streak out with
- 31:03Speaker 1: nobody on, or two outs nobody on, like ten inning,
- 31:06Speaker 1: it's the same as the ground out. Who cares it's
- 31:08Speaker 1: a pop up, doesn't matter. It's there's a stigma to it.
- 31:10Speaker 1: But if you're you can strike out as much as
- 31:13Speaker 1: you want. If your OBP is four thirty nine, yeah
- 31:16Speaker 1: it's right. And when the other day it's like, all right,
- 31:19Speaker 1: they've used what nineteen different lineups, and the other day
- 31:22Speaker 1: they had Freelick leading off, and I'm thinking to myself,
- 31:24Speaker 1: Garrett Mitchell's getting on base all the time, why isn't
- 31:26Speaker 1: he at the top of the order? Now, Statistically, the
- 31:29Speaker 1: number one hitter in your order leads off maybe one
- 31:32Speaker 1: and a half to two times a game. Like you
- 31:34Speaker 1: think of it as like being the you know, you're
- 31:35Speaker 1: a lineup construction and the number five batter ends up
- 31:38Speaker 1: leading off the second most innings, right, and so you
- 31:42Speaker 1: can put him at fifth too. And I don't know
- 31:43Speaker 1: what their metrics are saying, but I'm wondering, why doesn't
- 31:46Speaker 1: he project more as a leadoff hitter when he's getting
- 31:48Speaker 1: on base at the rady is Well?
- 31:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's really a high on base percentage,
- 31:53Speaker 2: no doubt about that.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Let's talk about let's talk about fans for a minute
- 31:55Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Hunter, do you think there's a little bit of solf
- 31:59Speaker 3: Reely privilege going on here? He's at a rough start
- 32:01Speaker 3: to the year, and I don't hear anyone talking about it.
- 32:03Speaker 3: If Garrett Mitt now granted Salma Sal's pal still and
- 32:07Speaker 3: sal has you.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Never were a Freely guy, I don't know what you're
- 32:10Speaker 1: trying to adopt him.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Sale's done a lot more in this league in terms
- 32:13Speaker 3: of track records, so that part is true. He's built
- 32:15Speaker 3: up equity, he's but he's having a slow start. If
- 32:18Speaker 3: Garrett had this slow start, we'd be hearing about him. Everybody.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Well, that's true.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Yeah, look out, if if that was happening, then yeah,
- 32:26Speaker 2: there would be Yeah, there would be a lot of that.
- 32:28Speaker 2: I think. Well with Sal, I with sal he's breaking
- 32:33Speaker 2: out of it a little bit. He's we're starting to
- 32:35Speaker 2: see a little better signs. I also think, and Pat
- 32:39Speaker 2: Murphy's talked about how that guy just battles and he's
- 32:42Speaker 2: he's going to snap out of it, which I believe
- 32:44Speaker 2: as well. I also think, and I have nothing specifically
- 32:47Speaker 2: to go on other than that he left that game
- 32:48Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago against the Royals with that
- 32:50Speaker 2: side injury. I don't think he's fully healthy. Just watching
- 32:54Speaker 2: him move and he got on base yesterday. I think
- 32:56Speaker 2: he got a single yesterday. He's on base and he's
- 32:59Speaker 2: kind of like moving around and shifting a little bit
- 33:01Speaker 2: with it, and you know, he's talking to Spencer Allen
- 33:03Speaker 2: at first, and I'm like, I don't know. I don't
- 33:06Speaker 2: know if he's and he's a guy who's going to
- 33:08Speaker 2: play through anything and everything. I just don't know if
- 33:11Speaker 2: he's fully healthy right now. And I think that could
- 33:13Speaker 2: be a reason now the offense is not affecting his defense.
- 33:17Speaker 2: We saw the diving catch the other day on Friday
- 33:20Speaker 2: night in that first inning when Coleman Crow was out
- 33:21Speaker 2: there on the mound and Coleman's like, oh, yeah, well
- 33:24Speaker 2: this is this is the Brewers defense they talk about
- 33:26Speaker 2: so that was pretty neat. But I think so he's
- 33:30Speaker 2: not letting it affect his defense. But yeah, I think
- 33:32Speaker 2: right now it is. It is a little concerning the
- 33:34Speaker 2: longer it goes. But again, I just have a feeling
- 33:36Speaker 2: he's not fully one hundred percent now his sale really
- 33:39Speaker 2: you know, ever fully a hundred percent, because he just
- 33:41Speaker 2: goes one hundred and ten percent every single game. So
- 33:43Speaker 2: he runs, he's running into walls and everything, and he's
- 33:46Speaker 2: kind of maybe used to playing sore. And that was
- 33:48Speaker 2: one of the reasons he didn't play in the WBC
- 33:50Speaker 2: for Italy, was because the Brewers wanted him to have
- 33:52Speaker 2: a full, RESTful offseason in a normal spring training because
- 33:55Speaker 2: he was banked up at the end of last year.
- 33:57Speaker 2: And I wonder if he's dealing with that a little
- 33:59Speaker 2: bit to begin this year. Just a theory, but just
- 34:01Speaker 2: observing the way he plays usually, in the way he's acting,
- 34:06Speaker 2: in the way his you know, his body language, that's
- 34:08Speaker 2: what we think.
- 34:09Speaker 1: I am liking the personal injury law firm of Lockridge
- 34:11Speaker 1: and Mitchell. I think they're doing a good job. I
- 34:13Speaker 1: like that pretty well too, especially flashing some leather and
- 34:17Speaker 1: stuff over the weekend. All right, Hunter, on the way out,
- 34:19Speaker 1: give us our Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin injury report. Give
- 34:22Speaker 1: us some updates and some good news, because if you're
- 34:24Speaker 1: going to be facing Scooble and Skens on back to
- 34:27Speaker 1: back days, he might watch some injured guys back Orthopedic
- 34:30Speaker 1: Associates Orthowisconsin dot Com. There is a difference. What do
- 34:34Speaker 1: you got, Hunter, what's the update on messr's Churio, Vaughn
- 34:38Speaker 1: and the rest of them?
- 34:39Speaker 2: Priester, Yeah, Churio swinging a bat, which is good. We
- 34:43Speaker 2: heard that over the weekend. So that's the next step
- 34:45Speaker 2: in the process. Cheerio and Vaughn will eventually go and
- 34:48Speaker 2: do a little rehab stint in Nashville, so they're not
- 34:50Speaker 2: going to rejoin their rotation or the starting lineup right
- 34:53Speaker 2: when they're healthy. Churio will be back sooner than Vaughn.
- 34:57Speaker 2: If all goes according to plan, I would still say
- 35:00Speaker 2: early May. What we're at April twentieth, So I would
- 35:02Speaker 2: say maybe this is just a guestimate because I'm not
- 35:06Speaker 2: sure what Pat Murphy said over the weekend, but I'd
- 35:08Speaker 2: say maybe a week and a week and a half,
- 35:11Speaker 2: and you see Churio in Nashville maybe, and then that
- 35:14Speaker 2: leads you to a May fifth, sixth, seventh, I don't
- 35:17Speaker 2: know returned to the lineup. If you're saying early May,
- 35:20Speaker 2: I would say Vaughn is more mid to late May.
- 35:22Speaker 2: He's been still he's been working with the glove when
- 35:25Speaker 2: I saw him in Milwaukee there, you know, the last
- 35:28Speaker 2: homestand he was doing some infield work with Matt Erickson
- 35:30Speaker 2: and just doing just you know, some things on the side.
- 35:34Speaker 2: But still he's got the bandage on his hand, but
- 35:35Speaker 2: he's still you know, using that glove hand, so he's
- 35:38Speaker 2: doing that. I'm not sure if he was also swinging
- 35:40Speaker 2: over the weekend. So again I would say early May
- 35:43Speaker 2: for Churio, mid to late May for Vaughn, mid to
- 35:46Speaker 2: late May for Yelich, although Yelich was when he talked
- 35:48Speaker 2: to us after that injury, He's like, I don't want
- 35:50Speaker 2: to put a timeline on it, so he's going to
- 35:52Speaker 2: try to come back as fast as he can. And
- 35:54Speaker 2: then Priester, I would think, is going to start his
- 35:57Speaker 2: rehab assignment in Nashville pretty soon if all went well
- 36:00Speaker 2: in his last Arizona League outing or late last week,
- 36:04Speaker 2: so hopefully that that Nashville Sounds team is going to
- 36:07Speaker 2: get some major league players probably coming in soon now. Also,
- 36:10Speaker 2: I guess Cheerio could go to Appleton. He could go
- 36:13Speaker 2: to the timber Ratlers and do it there. It sounds
- 36:16Speaker 2: like Nashville is probably gonna where a priest goes. But
- 36:18Speaker 2: maybe Cheerio does go up to Appleton. We'll see.
- 36:21Speaker 4: I like that, get them back, get them back for
- 36:23Speaker 4: that Yankee series in the home stand or yeah, don't
- 36:25Speaker 4: even worry.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Don't even worry about those cardinal games because they're not
- 36:28Speaker 1: They're not relevant right now. And don't worry about the
- 36:31Speaker 1: standings yet, right, I mean.
- 36:33Speaker 2: Standings are wild, I mean central right now.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Have fun.
- 36:37Speaker 3: I'm just saying, but don't worry about what place or
- 36:39Speaker 3: you know, it's way too early for all that stuff.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Am I no enough? Am I what blake?
- 36:44Speaker 3: No?
- 36:45Speaker 4: I just I just love you telling people how to fan,
- 36:47Speaker 4: You're telling people how to watch South Forre. You tell

- 39:06Speaker 1: dog sitting this week, so see, and that's the part
- 39:09Speaker 1: of it. Drew. It's much free time.
- 39:10Speaker 4: I like, people will get mad when I'd say this

- 39:15Speaker 4: big grocery online pickup.
- 39:18Speaker 1: I'm like, I can walk through the store and pick
- 39:19Speaker 1: it up.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Then again, it's kind of convenience just to roll up
- 39:23Speaker 4: bress a button and they walk it right out to you.
- 39:25Speaker 4: I love going in and seeing Robin Chris. I love
- 39:28Speaker 4: chopping it up by the Brewers and Bucks. We will
- 39:30Speaker 4: be doing that in the summer when it's gonna shift
- 39:33Speaker 4: right through the door ends.
- 39:33Speaker 1: They've almost too good a deal, So we've done that.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Time for our superhero to day? Is beeking a good deal?
- 39:40Speaker 1: Is Current Electric man one of those things like we
- 39:43Speaker 1: started doing this read for our superhero the day and
- 39:45Speaker 1: now I see their trucks all over the place, and uh,
- 39:48Speaker 1: you know I have a connection to that. My stepmom
- 39:51Speaker 1: and sister both worked at Current Electric for a time
- 39:53Speaker 1: in fabulous company, good people and the best in the
- 39:57Speaker 1: usiness the superheroes among us. So Billy, who's our superhero
- 39:59Speaker 1: to day?
- 40:00Speaker 4: So I've been trying to narrow it down on a
- 40:03Speaker 4: potential superhero the day. Then you read off those numbers
- 40:06Speaker 4: from Garrett Mitchell. Those are like superhero type numbers that
- 40:09Speaker 4: he's got here. If you're gonna get on base nearly
- 40:12Speaker 4: fifty percent of the time, it's almost very Bonzian.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was the exact word I was gonna use.
- 40:17Speaker 1: He was on base almost every other time. Hans was
- 40:20Speaker 1: like a four to seventy five on base, and he's like,
- 40:22Speaker 1: that was the most ridiculous offensive season of all time. Okay,
- 40:25Speaker 1: And for Mitchell, like the more and more opportunities that
- 40:28Speaker 1: you get from him, the more you think of Like, Okay,
- 40:32Speaker 1: as much as they've enjoyed. And I know Arman just
- 40:34Speaker 1: brought up sell free lick and there's still no Jackson
- 40:38Speaker 1: Turio is the diamond in the entire group.
- 40:40Speaker 4: But there's still possible guys going down the way that
- 40:43Speaker 4: is a clear, clear focal point and a pillar of
- 40:48Speaker 4: the organization. He's gonna be that kind of player and
- 40:51Speaker 4: be able to stay healthy for a one sixty two.
- 40:54Speaker 4: That's a that's all star kind of stuff right there.
- 40:56Speaker 4: Pairing it up with another first round pick of Bryce
- 40:58Speaker 4: Terrang gonna be making his first all starts this year,
- 41:00Speaker 4: that's tough.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Sixty seven played appearances, sixteen walks and seventeen Ribbi Stakes. Wow,
- 41:07Speaker 1: it's a good start. That's a pretty start. I remember
- 41:10Speaker 1: him coming up and being like a first time I
- 41:12Speaker 1: laid on him because physically he reminds me of Steve Finley,
- 41:15Speaker 1: who was a really good player with the Diamondbacks Padres
- 41:17Speaker 1: back in the day. But you know he's he's athletic defensively,
- 41:22Speaker 1: but I don't remember his strike zone judgment being allouded
- 41:26Speaker 1: to the point where he's drawn as many walks. Maybe
- 41:28Speaker 1: it's a fluky hot start thing, but yeah, for him
- 41:30Speaker 1: to draw this many walks and get on base the
- 41:32Speaker 1: way he is is wow, and just it's consistent.
- 41:36Speaker 4: And to see the kind of patience that they had
- 41:38Speaker 4: with him understandably. So when you're going to be able
- 41:41Speaker 4: to produce in that form and fashion, and you know,
- 41:45Speaker 4: you enjoy being able to see guys that take and
- 41:48Speaker 4: catch a bunch of arrows, to be able to see
- 41:51Speaker 4: them finally have some success this way, you just hope
- 41:54Speaker 4: that it continues to roll through. But the success at
- 41:57Speaker 4: Current Electrics no fluke because they are dominate in that
- 42:00Speaker 4: space and also keeping people safe less than thirty dollars
- 42:04Speaker 4: twenty six ninety nine to get a safety inspection in
- 42:06Speaker 4: your home. Do that and give yourself some peace of mind,
- 42:09Speaker 4: because now the storms are gone, the severe weathers out
- 42:11Speaker 4: of the way. All eyes towards summer, and get that
- 42:14Speaker 4: little bit of threat of anything going on in your
- 42:16Speaker 4: home out of your mind. Twenty six ninety nine. Call
- 42:19Speaker 4: Current dot com. Thank us later well played.
- 42:22Speaker 1: No loose ends other than to tell you that we're
- 42:24Speaker 1: going to do this again at five am tomorrow. Thanks
- 42:27Speaker 1: for hanging out in the huddle, and welcome back Arman
