  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a We had a few different things
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: fire their way into the ether, that's for sure. And uh,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: plenty of conversation on w's for the Milwaukee Brewers, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of waiting around for either the deadline
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: next week, the training camp kickoff.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Coming up on Wednesday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And then Drew just a bunch of Arman and I'm
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: making a lot of jokes at each other and generally
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: at each other's expense for the for about.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: That good stuff right there, that's what you love. Good
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Devonte Wyatt got a deal out of it. I think
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: you were gone by I was gone.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I missed Deamonte. We all missed Lebron. That happened that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: seems like a month ago, But that happened Friday after
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: your show, after the show, actually after the show now
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: shop sixers, but he goes shams. He couldn't help help
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: us out.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Well, and Rich Paul did say, I mean the they
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: were out there all the time.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you guys didn't pick up any
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: of the anything.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Well he did at that Fanatics thing say trust the process,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: like two or three times there people were like, oh,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: there it is there, it is now. I was on.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I wasn't totally off. Last week. I did the Spectrum
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Sports round table with Dennis Crausey and Hunter bombguard let's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: go come on, he asked us on Thursday, Like, you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: by the time this errors, it might be old news.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But where do you think Lebron's gonna go? And Hunter
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: said he was hoping as a fan like maybe Golden
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: States or even Miami. He was trying to pair with
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Giannis either you know, see him with Steph or see
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: him with Giannis. I'm like, I wouldn't rule out Philly. Philly.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He's like the place where he can has the best
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: chance to win a title. They just got Jalen Brown,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they got Maxi, they got Embiid. That's the plug and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: play place. That's where he went.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: The basketball only made sense to go to Philly, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that's where he ended up going. And it's gonna be
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: fun to see a guy at forty one years old
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: turning forty two you rarely would think can help somebody
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: become a title content, but he, I mean, he flips
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: them from seven to one to win the East to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I think plus three fifties, So they're right there in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the mix into an East that is now loaded up.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The stunny thing is, I was just listening to a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: conversation earlier about where's the bar well getting past the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: second round because the Sixers haven't been to the Eastern
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Conference finals since they upended the Bucks twenty five.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Years ago, five years ago. For them to be in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the round, at least get to the finals and go like.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That's been the drought. Like people outside of Philly don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: realize that because they think they've had em bead, they've
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: had star players, they've Georgians. Yeah, hey guys, it's like,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but they haven't been to the dance. No amazing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And in twenty twenty one, we always just remember the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Hawks series being the Eastern Conference finals. You almost forget
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that was the Ben Simmons series in Philadelphia where my
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: man just stopped shooting the basketball. Through the last four games,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: they were the number one seed.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: He no, no, no.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I thought we were gonna go and play Milwaukee and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: it was gonna be the Doc Rivers series Conferen's Bibles.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But it turned out to be not because Trey Young
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: broke their hearts. They've had some good squads, they haven't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: had one like this. And I'm excited well as a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: as a Lebron stand and to see him playing on
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the minimum is a wild thing. He's making less now
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: than he did as a rookie.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Right now, the Bucks can go ahead and the rest
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of the league can go ahead and put out their
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: schedule because that's what they waiting on. That's what they
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: were waiting on to see, which where where we could
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: put Lebron in primetime as much as possible.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But the tough thing is, I know the schedule mechanics.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: This thing still doesn't come out for another good two
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: weeks because it would always come out during State Fair
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and then immediately at eleven am when the schedule would drop,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you would have people showing up to the Bucks stand
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: at eleven h five asking for not the schedule but
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the pocket schedule. Yeah, where's the pocket schedule. You guys
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: got the pocket schedules out yet we don't. We don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: back here, we don't. We have a John Henson currently,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I have a printer that I will print you off
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a PDF. But that's all I A. We have the moment,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: just like the Just like the Rogers delay, I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the NFL went through they were trying to figure out
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: how many how many they can lock in to throw
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the sixers there into primetime as.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Opposed to MLB put there's out two weeks ago.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for that's amazing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Thing, just like they do it sooner and sooner every year.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: It's just the funny.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We don't know if we have games, but if we do,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: this is when they're gonna be. This is amazing, right,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that's right, all right, So so much to unpack. Like
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I know that you guys announced on Friday, very exciting,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: very show having to do it. Where's my bell? Where
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is there? There? It is? It's a while, I say,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: out of play spell, but the uh, you guys training
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: camp live, it's gonna be exciting.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Wayne Larvy and I'm gonna be starting up there on Wednesday,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and uh it's the Underwear Olympics for the first three days,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: but it is it's one of the latest starts to
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: training camp through but it still feels like it creeps
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: up on you once it finally gets here.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So that will be from eleven to one on days
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: when there are public practices.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Correct, outside of the two Sunday public practices, everything Monday
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: through Friday, So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday this week and then
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Monday Tuesday coming up again next week eleven to one
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Training camp live on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin seventy as
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: well as on our YouTube channel.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That is fantastic. I'll be popping up there to see
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you guys up in the up in your perch. Shouldn't
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Nag's gonna be up there.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: He landed in from the from NYC yesterday for camp
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to officially happen.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Shareholders meeting today. Let's go Packers. Davonte Wyatt signed, they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: released their books, They made a boatload of money. Again,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: they made a boatload of money.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And then the conversation is, well, we don't know if
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: we're going to.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Be able to make enough money.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a weird conundrum to be in. That
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is the world of sports, always looking for more.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: My favorite part of the headline that I think I saw,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Granted it was one of these X headlines, it was
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a Twitter headliner. Side it was Packers report record breaking
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: profits amid concerns about making money.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: About making more money. We have to stay competitive and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: make more money. So yeah, that's it is quite the conundrum.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But you know, hey, it's all good, and it's it
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: is interesting too. If I covered another team, I'd be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: waiting to see that because then you get an idea
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of what your team's books look like. Because the Packers
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: are the only team that we have a shred of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: an idea of what the books are like.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the only sport, the only team in pro
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: sports that you have to release the books, and everybody
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: gets a little bit of an eye. And I think
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of these valuations in the cash flows drew
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: are even more top of mine for different organizations because
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: they just watched the Seahawks go for a record nine
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: point six billion.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I know we didn't just win the Super Bowl, but
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: we'd like to know, wait, is that our valuation is
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: that somewhere close to where we're at, because then we'll
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: start taking some cash outs and get some private equity
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: money in here.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That's right. So while I was away last week just
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and again it was not it was a staycation. I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: didn't do anything. I did. I did go to I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: did go to Oklahoma. Began my my foray with a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: trip to Oklahoma of all players, a little Red Dirt
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: music festival at the Buffalo Run Casino with Mark P.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: L Johnny Vegas. And that was a good time. But
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I had a travel nightmare that we're going to talk
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: about later, and it was self inflict it. But we'll
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: talk about this has nothing. It's not Armands. This is
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not Armand's purgatory from American Airlines. This was this was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a Drew induced screw up of epic proportions. That's even better.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That's even better because then you're laughing at your friend's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: expense instead of something.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Way that I described it. It's like and this is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like initially it's like I went to Oklahoma. Also, well,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I flew into the logistics of it. I had to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: fly into northwest Arkansas and then travel through Missouri to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: get to Oklahoma. Okay, but I went to Oklahoma via
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Oregon Trail. And we will talk about that. Armand's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: going to be wetting. So we'll do that after seven o'clock.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But I did attend a couple of Breweris games. I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: attended screening of the Uchre documentary. Okay, let's go. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: will talk about that day. Yes, I did see the Yukado.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Highly recommend cut to the chase. Uh yeah, it's uh,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it's for popcorn boxes. It's worth seeing. You're gonna love it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I can't wait. It's it's on very well done. Yep, yep.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Go see it as soon as you can. It's in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Marcus theaters. Now check your local listings and go see
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it and support it. They're gonna be moving around the state,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: much like the Just a Bit Outside documentary. Much like
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the Just a Bit Outside documentary. You already know the ending,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and it's not particularly a happy ending, but correct it is.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: They did a good job, and it's it's a bittersweet,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: obviously because we've lost you, but seeing those the memories
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of it is just and there was stuff in there
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that I'd never seen, so fantastic. Got to see it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Cool to have people. I mean, I saw Jeff Leffering
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and Lane Grindle. They were in there while they were
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: shooting a lot of it, and they were surprised by
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: some of the stuff that they ended up having, so
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to be able to see it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Very cool. I will talk more about that. Shout out
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to everybody involved there. And then we had going into
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the weekend. I was at the Burgers game on Friday.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It was the big alumni game. About that the start
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of a of a you know the theories after coming
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: off an off day playing the Rockies. The Burs played
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: flat that day, but the alumni game was another success. Good,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: good time vibes, Randy Wolf of all amazing the bomb
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to win.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: It pretty impressive that you get the picture. I mean, listen,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: maybe the NL does want to go back to hitting.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I saw I saw Chris Sales a bit at the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: All Star Game. They asked everybody what rule would you
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: like to implement, and majorly basically I'm hit playing the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: n L, I want to hit. I think he might
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: be on a limb there. But Drew, this is now
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the second year in a row the Brewers have scheduled homecoming.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The second year a row they've lost the day that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: they've done the big celebration.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But it didn't seem like anyone much care. I do
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: think there was a bit of a vibe among the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: scribes and stuff that the Skipper Patches o Hula Han
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: slash Pat Murphy was let's just say, less than thrilled with.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's the first game of a series and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the commotion and kind of the distraction of having those
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: guys around, so it was like it was yeah, it
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, well, you know we're going to do
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: this and it's great to have the guys back and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it is fun. However, we got a ball game to play.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It discounts and they're trying to win today and they
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: came out a little flat. And I don't know if
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that the two are related or not. One of the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: things I thought going into this weekend, uh, and it
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: showed up a little bit even on Saturday night. The
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Rockies in their current incarnation not great. Bob's not great,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: they don't feel great. They hit okay, bullpen's a mess.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: They got a couple of decent arms that people might
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: like if they might, you might like to guys have
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: guys outside of course field and see what they interest. Sure,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: yeah they're going to make some moves, but they were
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I thought a dangerous team, much like and again it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: my experience going back to the nineties with the Brewers. Yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they're not in it, sure, but they're they're playing hard
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: because a lot of those guys are much like guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: when I was covering the beat would walk up to me.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: You hear anything, Am I going anywhere? Is my name
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: coming up at all? Am I good? They all want out, Yes,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: they all want to go. They all want to go
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to TEA contender. So they're all those guys are playing
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: their asses off. The young guys that they have are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: trying to get established. They're all auditioning to either stay
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: with the Rockies or for their next club. And there's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this kind of like, you know, Lucy Goosey, Well, let's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: just play hard, like there's nothing to lose there, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that makes them a dangerous team. So when you see
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: strength of schedule for the Brewers in the next two
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: months and then you think, oh, that's going to be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a tough series, They're all going to be tough series
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: because look at the Rockies, and the Rockies come in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: take the opener. HM. Whether the Brewers were distracted by
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the alumni circus or not, we can discuss. But then
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they then on Saturday night they scratch and claw, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they're down early and they end up making you bring
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in McGill. They slap Max Lance mccullors into the unemployment line,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the DFA line, and then on yesterday, well they just
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: tip your cap because MS would have blown away the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: twenty seven Yankees yesterday. So those teams like, don't look
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: down on the don't look at the opponent, don't look
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: at the record. Because the Rockies were motivated, they were hungry.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of those guys are looking to be traded,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: like they were gonna play hard. Well, they're gonna give
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you an effort. They're not going to mail it in
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: like people think. And would you.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Agree that, Like they're not all twenty twenty game under
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: five hundred teams are created equal. Like what you just
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: described for the Rockies, I don't know that you can
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: necessarily describe for the Mets, when they got multiple guys
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: making one hundred million dollars going forward, they're like, well whatever,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Lindor and Sodo might hate each other, but they know
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: that they're staying together for the next couple of months.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: So like there's a there's a resigned factor. They've already
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: fired the manager here on the Rockies. We got the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: cool skipper chewing just full bags of red Man over
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: there in the in the corner, having a good time.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: So I agree that they're a dangerous punch. The other
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: reason why I wouldn't anticipate they move Goodman where the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: other teams are desperately waiting for guys to get moved.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: They're like our guys four years and with control we got,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: we got a chance to roll here. They just got
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: such a murderous row of a division to try to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: get through that it's those games are not gonna be
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the easy layovers like last year the Marlins coming in.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I mean now they just slid back down the back
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: of the dinosaur out of the All Star break they
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: did last year. They were doing the exact same thing,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: trying to scratch and know they got a lot of
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: guys that are unmade dudes in the league that they're
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: using all of these next sixty games and not just.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Cashing that check. I think the rock is more likely
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to extend guys now than like.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: They'll flip a couple guys. Certain guys they'll they'll they'll
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: be the goodman kid behind the plate.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Good is good at first. Baseman can hit they got,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: they got some dudes, big caros Son. Yeah, so I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: knew that they would come in and like that. That's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the thing. So don't be fooled and don't like, oh,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that should be an easy serious because I learned that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: early on. Man, my discussions with the Icon, I'd be like, oh,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you're facing uh, you're facing armor and Siren on the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: next series. That should be okay. It's like, ah, you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: know you're you're thinking like a writer, sure, like, yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: his e ra is high and his record is bad,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: but that dude's got a sinker that no right hander
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: wants to face. And we you know he can. He's legit,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and like, oh, okay, well somebody's sitting him. His gonna
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: take account, Like what am I missing here? And he's like, no,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you don't. But you're thinking like a writer, like, we
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: don't want to face that dude. The right handed betters
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: don't want to face that guy. He's tough. Oh okay,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and especially at his park or whatever. So that's a
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: cautionary tale. Buts did take two out of three.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And yesterday I still work out because you take two
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: out of three and he goes seven and two in
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: that home staying believe because MS was miss yesterday.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And again it was a shorter outing, but oh my god,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to go through and punch out the side to start
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the game, and to the way he was just unhittable.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: It was, I mean breathtaking, It really is.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And I was out playing golf yesterday with my pops
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and a bunch of his his friends at the club,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and dude.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: It was hot as hell.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It was hot as hack.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: However, the coolest thing was over the first three innings,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: as right at one ten, we were able to cueue
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: up the ball game and we're watching, listening and following along.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: We realized that he strikes out the side.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Holy cow, struck out the first six guys.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And over the next five minutes, it was everybody around
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the course telling each other about what MS was doing.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: In the midst of a game.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: That it wasn't like you got the MLB alert that
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: he was seven innings into a no hitter, but just
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: how dominant he was, and the pitch count at one point,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: what sixty I think he had sixty seven pitches on
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: fifty strikes right before the homer.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that congratulations, man, Like you could.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Reach out the bat at that point, hit that thing
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: out of the strike zone and send it over the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: left field wall.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Good on you.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: That is a lucky swing and somebody's gonna be able
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to queue up on him, I guess, Drew. But you
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: said that the twenty seven Yankees would have struggled with
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that one yesterday. That heat was disgusting. For over sixty pitches,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: over one hundred miles. Now, strike out numbers are crazy,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and you consider he didn't pitch that much.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It was like a speed run. It was like, well, yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I mean he faced let's see seventeen batters. Yeah, he
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: faced seventeen batters in five innings. Right, mm hmm. That's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive there, And yeah, that's borderline ridiculous. And so
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the only he had I think two flyouts the homer,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and that was it. Other than that was punched out
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because he punched out twelve.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Right, punched out twelve, punched out twelve of the first
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: thirteen batters that they sent up to the plate. And
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: after the homer, you could tell like, I don't know
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: that it fully rattled him a little bit. But he
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: goes up O two, then to three, to two and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: hits the guy and it starts to slide away from
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: him a little bit, but whatever, you get him out
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and then quickly hand it off to the bullpen, who
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I thought was really good there as well. To get
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: into a day where you don't have to use McGill,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you don't have to use the rebay. You haven't had
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: a ton of runaway wins, so you're glad that you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: can tack on the runs whenever. Then get away from
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the Patricks and Ashby's. I was having the feeling. And
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: it's funny because the Brewers scored three in the first
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: getting off of Freeland, who's been kind of their nemesis.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: He's pitching pretty He's one of those guys that pitches
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: good against Milwaukee, but he's got a high rate Feltner
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: numbers and the kid that pitched Saturday night against the Brewers.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: That's one of the craziest things that you see. It's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: crazy five and a half ra against everybody else up
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: too against there.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: But so Freeland two, he gives up three and then
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: he's pitching into the six and I'm thinking, man, ms
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: just did something that we've never seen. It was, like,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: like I said, breathtaking, and he might lose to this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: guy who was looked like he wasn't gonna get out
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of the first inning. And then they blew open the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: game with that five spot and gave themselves some and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: then every time the Rockies came back, Burst answered. In
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the seventh inning, they scored a couple and then attacked
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: on in the eighth Vaughan Homer was big and so
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: hell of a series for the kids, eleven to two,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and it was. It was a blowout, but man, in
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the middle of that game, it was looking a little
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: precarious even with MS dominating, so no doubt.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: And then I mean Pratt and Lara, the rookies, both
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: show up that these guys are looking good. Man five
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: run rally and Luis Laura, I think is continuing to
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: get more and more people, not necessarily to understand who
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: he was. But when they signed him to the seven year,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: three thirty one million, I think there are a lot
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of people that looked around said, who yeah, wait, wait
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: what that's that's not the that's not the mode guy
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: that I heard of, that's that I had heard of.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: That's definitely not their first round pick. Look around the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: league and how many guys are hitting three oh three
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and two ninety and it's Lara and Pratt, now small
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: sample of from sides of the plate. Look at the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: numbers and look at their they're they're here together. They're
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: their first taste of big league action and it's let's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: face it, like again with the Rockies. Another thing with
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the Rockies is that the Rockies coming to Milwaukee and yeah, okay,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: like games in Colorado, let's just say they're not capturing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the attention of the local populaceity. They're they're ready for this,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: ready for the Broncos and Nuggets and Avs to fire up.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Because it's the Rockies are just okay, well it's it's here,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: so let's glance at it. It's right by all the bars,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: so maybe we'll go. Those teams come to Milwaukee and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: it's a full house and it's a playoff buzz and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you feel juice. So that's another thing about bad teams
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: coming into Milwaukee. It's like, well, the Bush should beat them.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Not so fast. I warn you to pump the brakes
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: on that, because those teams like they get juice from
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: playing in front of people, and the game feels like
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it for them. It's like a playoff atmosphere. It's the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: closest they'll get to a playoff atmosphere, there's playing the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: boors at American Family Field. Well.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And two, I like that you mentioned it, Drew, like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: when you're at this point in the schedule, everybody understands it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: And I think you've heard NBA guys break down their
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: schedule for baseball players, this three week sprint out of
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the All Star Break.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: When you're on one of these these bad.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Teams, it's like, hey, how quickly can I get myself
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: for a sixty games somewhere else to be able to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: have a chance to win one of these things exactly?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: And and there's a couple of guys that have a
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: shot at it. But that that crowd was impressive. Out
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: of nine games, no crowds under thirty thousand at American
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Family Field.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: This past two million mark pretty soon, I think. So
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: it's impressive. We got plenty to unpacked today. The miz
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: was amazing. We're gonna take your thoughts on the Nicolay
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: lot co Im talking text on eight seven seven seven
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: nine four three. Just give us a check in, let
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: us know your I'm back. I gotta say it almost
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: felt normal going to bed early again last night after
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a week off. I gotta say I feel like that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Now I feel like this is normally bad, and last
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: week it was not normal. Folks are up and around
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and the five o'clock clubbers. We love our five o'clock clubbers,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Janny and Appleton. The Legend game on Friday night was
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: so awesome. It was something else.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Dude, to be able to see that many guys in
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: full uniform after drinking beers in the suite.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was impressive stuff. He said, Wolfe, what
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a stud McGee unbelievable. I hope they do it again.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Casey McGee was classic. He was the guy. Dillard and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I were talking before the game that it'd be good
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to see Casey hit a home run to redeem himself
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: for the home run derby when he got shut out,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: just ripping line Dre and he made a great play
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to rob Brown of a hit, and then he booted
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a play that's like, that's what you get in an
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: alumni game like this.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: The best part about the Casey McGee one was the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: shots of his kid taking the videos of him going
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: up to the plate, hitting and then getting into the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: interview after he makes the play. That was cool to
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: be able to see some of these guys who you
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: know their kids were obviously alive but not really cognizant
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of what Pops used to do. That's a cool one
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: to be able to show out and then still get
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: some applause by the people in the stands that definitely
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: stuck around. Seemed like they were mostly actually there for
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the alumni game more than the one that actually transported.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: And that remind me of last year too. Now unfortunately
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: the result was the same.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: It seems like that's like a tradition, the Bruce underwhelming
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: lose to a team I home coming, like you said,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Billy on that night, but it was it was a
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: lot of fun.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And you're right.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, the older you get, you think about how
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: cool would be if you were one of those guys.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Like in any profession, you want your kids to kind
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: of see what you can do and grow up and
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: they see what they do. But especially those guys like
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: probably wish a lot of their kids are able to
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: see them in their prime playing. So the fact that
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: they get a chance to see them playing again on
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: a major league feel, albeit for this type of game,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: is an amazing thing. And I love when Ryan Brown
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: was basically saying, look, being on a field like this
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: again playing is still a dream and you don't know
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: what you're going to get this opportunity again.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: In your life, so you appreciate it. And it reminds
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: me of when Casey McGee.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: If you remember when he played, he had like the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: biggest mixed emotion game and he kind of it was
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: the same situation as you just talked about Drew. I
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: remember him dropping a really easy pop up being the
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: like being basically like the goat of the game, not
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: in a good way, and then hitting a grand slam
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the next inning, so you had like that full of
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: emotions and it felt like he had that again the
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Alumni game, So it was funny.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I would remind you of that. I remember I was
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: doing some uh. I was dabbling as the sideline guy,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you know, pre Sophia. I think I was placed by
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Mark concannon at one point. But Casey had a game
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: where he ended up getting a big hit. He had
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: either a home run or an extra base hit to
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: like win the game. It might have been a walk off.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And I was charting pitches back then, like the kind
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of pre internet when you had stuff on your phone.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I was trying to have my little notebook, and I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was like, he had had it was his fourth at bat,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I think, And I said, you had swung and missed
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: at ten fastballs in this game, Like whiffs at ten
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: fastballs in this game? What did you like about that
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: one that you hit for the game. When again he's like, well,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: thanks for pointing that OUTPI encouragement, Thank you very much.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, thanks for pointing that out, but he was, yeah,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: early on, he's like, my, yeah, I was terrible in BP,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and then in the game I was lost, and then
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: he focused in and hit that ball. But yeah, case
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it was one of the great dudes that the Brewers
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: have had. It's a great you know, fans loved him,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: his son Mac fans like like glomb down to that story.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: He was just he was a likable, blue collar, thirty
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Jersey guy.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean he came and played the best
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: position for it over at third base and looked the
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: part as well. You forget, he was like top five
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and Rookie of the year ballot, and you look at
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: his numbers, How on earth did you not win it
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: with sixteen bombs in an eight to fifty nine.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Ops, that's pretty good.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Look big year and it's not even like he won
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the lost to Andrew McCutchen, who was also there.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: That was a long time ago.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But he had two big years and then all of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a sudden, yeah, elsewhere it wasn't the same.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So it's cool to be able.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: To as well when you're still that guy in that city,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: for them to be able to bring you back, right, Like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that's the for a lot of these guys. They were
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: highlight moments, Like Brad Bocksburger. I'm reading the list, I'm like, okay, sweet,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: that's awesome. I did not anticipate when Brad Brocksburger was
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: playing in coming out in the seventh inning that he
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: was going to be locked in as a Brewer's legend.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Look at his Baseball Reference page. They were the two
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: best years of his career. So he wants something them
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: so like every day he was the dude for nails here.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: You just forget because of the role. Right, how many
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: of them they ended up having, you know, Dan Cold
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and guys like that that they brought back. It's cool,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and uh yeah it was. It was nice to see
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that them shineing light like Randy Wolf again, like you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: he was a key contruder, a big, good veteran presence,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: a good he was a good brewer.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And for him, Randy Wolf put it best. He's like
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to come back like you never get this ovation, the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: juice that you got us a player, Sure, you never
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: get it. And to get it like here is like and.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: For the alumni game, for a Randy Wolf, it was
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: like walking off the mound after throwing six shutout. When
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: you get the standing ovation, you don't always guarantee that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: instead of knowing that you might get about six and
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: three in even.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Braun, who had probably more great moments than any brewer
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in history, right in terms of like just impactful and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: ovations and just great moments at amfam field, if you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: did the like the top fifteen of them, he's in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: like nine or.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: He's in a yeah, most of them for sure.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: But for him to go out there and get the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ovation and stuff, the accolades he was in the Wisconsin
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I thought a Hall of fame earlier this year for Braun.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: His kids got to see him there and get to
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: experience the juice. And they're old enough now to appreciate
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: whereas they were, you know, they were a little born
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: younger probably, but but yeah, now the kids got to
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. So for all those guys, that was a win.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Now logistically, given that if Murph was like, you know
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the Countlands, this isn't a circus, we got a ball
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: again to win here moving forward, what if they did
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the alumni game at three o'clock in the regular game
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: at seven, I'll see that would play. That would be better.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I think that might That might be better.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Now it might interrupt their batting practice, which they didn't
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: want to interrupt anything.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: For on a given day. Maybe not the if you're
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: doing it like it was, it's always on a Friday,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: it would be on a Friday probably, so yeah, I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: mean first day of a series. Sometimes the other team
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: likes to come in and hit stuff.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: But I'm with you on it.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I think maybe if you did it, maybe then it
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: would be on a Saturday, Saturday. I was even thinking Sunday,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: right at eleven am, and it's a quick hour and
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: then there's the hour in between the game and you
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: can still then cash in on your two dollars and
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: fifty cent beers. Because I know that was a that
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: was a big hit, But that would preclude probably the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: two fifty beers drew because if you started selling the
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: two fifty beers during the alumni game, somebody would get
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: chapped because he thought they were going to have Ben
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Sheets throwing ninety mile an hour fastballs in twelve six
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: herb ball. So he decides to go over here and
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: just get sloshed during the alumni game, and then all
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's the two fistes slobber by the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: third inning.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the problem, but I like, I like your
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: idea a lot better.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Not that I don't want to hang out for the
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: end of the game, but it did almost feel like
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: there was a main event feel to a three inning
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: game that was potentially going to end in a home
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: run derby.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's and that Maybe that's what it
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: was last year, but I'm not sure that it really
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: affected the outcome. Is that what the idea is, Maybe
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: that it affected the outcome for the Brewers, or maybe
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: that that's the reason that they, you know, lost, I
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: don't think so.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: But listen, I make everybody happy on I know, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: don't think you can. That's the point.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think Pat Murphy would have been annoyed
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: at any change in routine at all.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's just the way.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: So I'm not really if you want to do something
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: like this, but just special so I think you should
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: do it sometimes it's got to be like that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. It was just fun.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Ryan Brown ages in reverse, though not the only one.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he looks like it seems like yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Tommy and Stallas once. And it wasn't a concussion that
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: derailed Casey McGee's career, like he was having serious symptoms
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of months down the road from a glove to the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: head if I remember correctly now, I think you're thinking
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: of cos.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Cory Coski never got hit in the head, if I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: not mistaken. He was going back on a ball catching it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he had a little bit of a collision
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: with the left fielder avoid it and he hit the ground.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: But I thought he just whiplashed.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: There were rumors that it was like a jet ski
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: accident happened off the field that he took a long
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: long time to cover.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Personally, it was a little bit like Lucroy's suitcase in
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: that it was murky. But Jonathan Lucroy was a wo
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: want to see you getting over Yeah, Luke and people
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: love him. Did he clear it off with clear it
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: up with counts or with uh Pat? And probably I
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: don't know if they get it in person, probably didn't
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: do it after.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: The game, because I know he sent that long email.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: He wanted that leadership. It was Theurebay Chop, wasn't it
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that he was reacting to. All right, so that gets
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to do another thing. Then this five o'clock club and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: this is just conversations. Yeah, I'm I'm caping up for
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the Rockies a little bit. And they have their home
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: run cape the Bathrobe when you're down eight to two
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and you're putting on a bathroom a bathrobe after a
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: solo homer thank you. I mean, I don't know because
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't I was in the press box, not listening
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to the broadcast. But I'm thinking, like what Rock and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: those guys like, what the hell like come on? Like
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: now now Rock Rock is evolved, and he's like he
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: likes the passion of the game, like a World Baseball Classic,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and you rebate within limits and the exuberants and you
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: know years ago, Contreras throwing his bat fifty feet in
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the air, would have got him drilled in his next
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: app you would have ironheads. Yes, But as much as
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I was just caping up for the Rockies, don't count
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: them out in a series. They get the juice from
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the crowd. Putting on a cape when you're down a two,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: it's not a great look.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, but that is one of those poems
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: that otherwise I would have not hit my ninth home
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: run of the year if I was.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Willie Castro though, he wants to make sure that you
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: see that one drew because he's desperately the guy that's
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: trying to get traded.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's like celebrated. That's exactly what I needed today.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: There are guys and there's a market for him now
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: it is. This trade deadline is a week from today, right,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: a week from today in prime time, and it'll be Uh.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It's very very much a seller's market because there are
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams that think they're in it. There's like,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of teams. Are the American League
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: especially so bad that teams think they're still alive and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: they might not want to deal exactly. That's right. If
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I were commissioner, I'd make the trade deadline September first,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: that's what.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Well, the August thirtieth trade deadline was always the best.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: The waiver. The waiver one was always the best because
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: it was yeah, but then you could block teams, and
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: teams would claim guys and there's all that gamesman ship
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that they're out. You know, it hard to get guys
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in the waiver thing after. But but it was at
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: least a vehicle for it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: But because well, especially when you can still add players
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: to the post, to your roster and have them play
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: games until what is it, August thirtieth, and then they're
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: still alive. It just it's strange that they do that
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: because you're six games under five hundred if you're the Tigers,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: but you're three and a half games out of a
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: wild card spot.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Now you got a leap five teams and you just
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: get there.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: You just puked away a series against the Royals. You'd
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: be feeling good about yourself at that point.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: It can't be. Ryan in Denver wants to know did
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Barber's cost mccolor is his job slash career when he
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: airmailed to throw in the left field in the ninth
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: inning Saturday, or was he going to get d favorite gardless. Well,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I think that was Yeah, I mean it did suck.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Murph did talk about it, but walking for guys wasn't
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a great look either.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: I think that one would be probably more in line
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: as to what the what the problem was for.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: And that was a little bit surprised. Now, I don't know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: will Houston claim him like he dfaid, So that means
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you have ten days to either release trade or send
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: somebody to the miners. Outright, he's off the roster if
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: they didn't get him in Nashville and get him a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: couple starts, because you know what they did pitching him sporadically,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: they were asking that's a lot, even for a veteran guy. Yeah, anyway,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: and he did have that one outing where he gave
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: him a couple innings where he gave him a few
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and then the next he rocked a bunch of guys.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: So I was a little surprised that they pulled the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: plug that way. He could have maybe invented a phantom
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: injury and put him on the I L or something
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: anticipated they would do that.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: But I wonder if I was interested to know if
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: there'd be any mechanics contract wise of the cash considerations wise,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: if there was a timing mechanism, he's on your alump
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: for a certain amount of time.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Do you get some of the money back? Who knows.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: But when that deal was made, though, I kind of
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: thought that they had their eyes on the other guy.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: It's pretty happy like that's who they wanted so and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: that was who I thought was was gonna come up
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: when if they made that move just to swap for him.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: But I also, again all due respectfully, it's mccullors junior
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: in his family. I think the guys that are going
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: to help them win, uh to acquire as a starting pitcher,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: are still going to be felt this week. The guys
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: that are going to be impactful Thursday or Friday, no
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: doubt about it. The darkness head and everybody's thinking about
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline. And I was talking to some people
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: about this yesterday and the about everybody thinks about the
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: trade deadline, and you have visions of October and the
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Dodgers or you know, playing the Phillies or whoever you're
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: gonna have to face.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: You got two months left. You got to eat a
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: lot of innings into between now and two months from now.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: That's the terrain, right, that's what you're looking to fill.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It's not just like, oh, October, let's get through the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: next two months. Yeah, Arman and I were having that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: conversation last week. Drew.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: As much as it is to eye up what you
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: imposition yourself for October, you got to allow yourself to
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: position yourself for October by winning a number of games.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Right now, now you still got seven games. You're seven
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: games up on the Cubs to win the division. That's
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the race that I'm probably watching the least. It's the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: race for the number one seed or for the bye
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: against the n L East leader. And I don't know
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: as currently constructed, you can get home and get at
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: least the two seed with the innings pitch, because I
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: just don't know that you're going to have enough volume
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: on arms to be able to get yourself home, especially
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna have thirty pitch innings by miss Now
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: he was electric before that, but at some point five
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: and dive is gonna be a tough way to live
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: over the next seven weeks where I.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Think they have what six or seven off.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Days, you just see guys eat innings and you need
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the depth there just to get you through. I mean,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: that's a big thing.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Ryan and Denver also said, where do Freelick and Lockridge
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: go when they come back? Are they trade candidates this
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: week while still on the DL getting very crowded out there. Well,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, I think Freelick has an minor
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: league option left, and so does I think Lockridge might
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: as well, So potentially, I don't know. I mean, that's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a great question. Well, Perkins would go down to.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Perkins would go down Freelick not conveniently because I think
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: they're obviously better when he's available, but him not doing
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: baseball activities for a full week and then them saying yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: then we'll reevaluate. It seems like there's a little bit
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: longer term than they walk in the real slow walk
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: here with what sALS dealing. I like that.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I like that. Well, then that's interesting because I don't know.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, I said I would trade
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Freelick before I traded Mitchell, and you would think I would,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm definitely not trading Mitchell. Now, Yeah, tell
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you that much. At least now we'll talk about that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: You would think of that in the off season, You
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: would think that I need Captain Bernie Brewer with the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: way people reacted on that. When we come back, Hunter
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Bombard's got a recap holstered up for us of the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Brewers victory eleven to two yesterday at American Family Field

• 35:06
  Speaker 1: recap from our erstwhile Brewers reporter take it away. Hunter,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Thanks guys.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: The Brewers finish a seven to two home stand with
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: a series victory over the Rockies. They getting eleven to
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: two victory yesterday afternoon, and a couple of story lines
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: came from it. Let's start with Jacob Vizarowski. Of course,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: he is always a storyline when he starts, and this
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: one looked a lot better than his last one. He
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: goes five inks, eighty three pitches, twelve strikeouts, strikes out
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: twelve of the first thirteen batters. That's never been done
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: in the live ball era, and now it has. He
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: talked about it after the game.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: It is a zone that you feel like you're in
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: when you strike out twelve of the first thirteen. I
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: don't think there is a zone. I think that's just pitching.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I think that's a you know, Phil like myself, and
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you know, kept going. Did you realize you had twelve
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: to thirteen? No, I had no idea. I'm just throwing throwing.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Gary so and Brewis manager Pat Murphy talked about missus start.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: As a whole.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: I thought he was great.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: He really was.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: He could have continued, obviously, but we're unfortunately he had
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: to throw a few more pitches in that inning or
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: he would have went back out for the sixth.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: He wanted to.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: But yeah, he was really good. You know, obviously, punch
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: out twelve by the first thirteen, Yeah, that was good.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: And on the offensive side, Cooper Pratt and Luis Laura.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: How about their last two games, nine for thirteen with
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: ten runs driven in. Cooper Pratt talked about what it's
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: like to feed off of the energy of Luis Laura.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I've been playing with him since Hya.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: It's become one of my best friends in pro ball.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Starting to starting to learn a little Spanish. He's getting
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: better at English, so definitely makes it easy easier, and
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: also like he plays the game hard. He plays the
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: game the right way and it's contagious for sure, and
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: he's he's fun to have around. He's an awesome teammate
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: ever since Hya, and you know, continue to be an
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: awesome teammate. He'll continue to perform.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Those two been teammates for a long time and now
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: getting to do it at the major league level. The
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: Brewers go out west starting tonight samran Cisco is where
• 37:01
