2:18
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk to Hunter Bombgart and a little bit
2:20
Speaker 3: about the Brewers, and that's a good dovetail into who's
2:23
Speaker 3: hot and who's not, because I think the who's hot
2:27
Speaker 3: and I've been talking about I've been singing their praises,
2:30
Speaker 3: so they're not going under the radar.
2:31
Speaker 4: But the Brewers bullpen right now.
2:33
Speaker 5: All big time. It's incredible. What they've been doing is
2:36
Speaker 5: flaming hot like a cheeto. Yeah, the numbers are pretty nasty.
2:39
Speaker 5: Twenty five innings, pitch well, twenty five point two I
2:42
Speaker 5: should say, two thirds, three earned runs, one five ERA.
2:46
Speaker 4: That's it.
2:46
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if you want to hear
2:48
Speaker 5: that again. That's wild pretty good through six games. I
2:51
Speaker 5: don't know if we can sustain that type of and
2:53
Speaker 5: you know, level of we have ability, but that's.
2:56
Speaker 4: Woodford and McGill gave up homers. Those are two of
2:59
Speaker 4: the runs.
2:59
Speaker 5: I don't know.
3:00
Speaker 4: I don't remember the other one, but that's pretty good
3:01
Speaker 4: after six games.
3:03
Speaker 5: There was a garbage running opening day, I think, wasn't there.
3:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, garbage the wood for gave up a home run
3:10
Speaker 6: and the loss, So yeah, it's somewhere there was one
3:16
Speaker 6: anything well, and to also be able to double it
3:19
Speaker 6: up with the youth that they've had in the rotation.
3:21
Speaker 6: Like you you knew that the the sproke blow up
3:23
Speaker 6: is going to ruin whatever uh E r A your
3:26
Speaker 6: starters are going to have. But Misrawski goes out yesterday
3:28
Speaker 6: the two run shot.
3:29
Speaker 4: That's it. All he's given up, uh is is two
3:32
Speaker 4: long balls. And Chad Patrick was was.
3:34
Speaker 6: Phenomenal, only one earner run there and and Harrison too
3:38
Speaker 6: lost also in forgotten kind of in that loss was
3:41
Speaker 6: how he settled in ended up striking out eight across
3:43
Speaker 6: the five. The staff and in general has been phenomenal,
3:46
Speaker 6: But the bullpen is the one that I think because
3:49
Speaker 6: it seems like there's such variance around the game every
3:52
Speaker 6: single year. With your bullpen, it's almost like an offensive
3:55
Speaker 6: line where it's going to be the most forgotten about
3:59
Speaker 6: until they're then they're the worst unit on every team,
4:02
Speaker 6: right like they're they're the one that will ultimately probably
4:04
Speaker 6: get cussed out the most by fans, but fans wouldn't
4:08
Speaker 6: be able to pick them out of a lineup if
4:09
Speaker 6: you were walking down the street.
4:10
Speaker 5: That's a great point. Yeah, obviously we have one hundred
4:12
Speaker 5: and fifty six more of these things to go.
4:14
Speaker 4: There's a long way to go.
4:15
Speaker 5: But you do get sometimes a little bit nervous because
4:18
Speaker 5: of that reality when you walk into it. You're knowing
4:20
Speaker 5: you're depending on your bullpen and be great again because
4:22
Speaker 5: you know they should be.
4:23
Speaker 4: But you know, performance isn't linear.
4:26
Speaker 5: We've talked about that many times, especially with bullpen arms.
4:28
Speaker 5: It seems like you can't always count on them being
4:31
Speaker 5: what you thought they were one way or the other.
4:33
Speaker 5: So it is nice to see them fulfill that early on,
4:36
Speaker 5: especially with some of their biggest bullpen arms not there anymore.
4:39
Speaker 5: The meerkat is not around anymore, so you know that's
4:43
Speaker 5: the way it is. But those other guys have been
4:45
Speaker 5: filling in nicely and performing their role, and it feels
4:48
Speaker 5: like everyone said into their role, which is so important
4:51
Speaker 5: in the part.
4:51
Speaker 3: Right, So it's who's hot who's not? Brought to us
4:53
Speaker 3: by Donovan Jorgenson. I'm going with the Bruis bullpen being
4:55
Speaker 3: hot and Billy who's not. I'm going with the Washington Wizards.
4:59
Speaker 6: That would that would be a good one that would
5:01
Speaker 6: be a fair one to throw in here. That's cruel
5:03
Speaker 6: and unusual punishment what they did to that young man
5:06
Speaker 6: last night the Wizards.
5:08
Speaker 3: They lost one fifty three to one thirty one. They
5:11
Speaker 3: give him one hundred and fifty three points.
5:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they made.
5:14
Speaker 6: Some guy think that they want that he won ten
5:15
Speaker 6: thousand dollars on an April fool's prank yesterday by blindfolding
5:18
Speaker 6: him for a half court shot.
5:19
Speaker 5: Do you think there's a room for a lawsuit there
5:21
Speaker 5: for some sort of like you gotta give me a
5:23
Speaker 5: free jersey or something if.
5:24
Speaker 1: You do it.
5:25
Speaker 6: Well, they did say they're giving him an autographed jersey
5:27
Speaker 6: in court side they did.
5:27
Speaker 5: I missed that all right that I'm happy about that
5:29
Speaker 5: because then you got more than you thought you would,
5:31
Speaker 5: so you can't really complain.
5:32
Speaker 4: I mean they pulled that.
5:33
Speaker 5: They pulled that prank on me at Christmas once with
5:36
Speaker 5: a pull tab. They got a fake pull tab and
5:38
Speaker 5: they made me think I won fifteen g and I
5:40
Speaker 5: was jumping around the room going crazy.
5:42
Speaker 4: Is your parents?
5:43
Speaker 2: No?
5:43
Speaker 5: It was, well not my parents, but it was a
5:45
Speaker 5: family members. It was my mom's cousins. At they're at
5:47
Speaker 5: the Big family. You got lottery ticket I got got.
5:50
Speaker 5: So my thing is like, all right, that's fine. You
5:52
Speaker 5: guys had your fun and games, but you better get
5:54
Speaker 5: me a nice gift. I better get a nice open
5:56
Speaker 5: the roll here, or some nice gift here, something that
5:58
Speaker 5: nice v Nex sweater or something.
6:00
Speaker 4: Nothing you lose, just that make the shot.
6:02
Speaker 5: I hate April Fools and I'm just so glad it's
6:04
Speaker 5: over and that I saw that billion, I was like, man,
6:06
Speaker 5: that's nasty work by those guys.
6:09
Speaker 4: Nasty work. Oh, I thought it was hilarious. I am now.
6:13
Speaker 6: I also would have wouldn't be surprised if that was
6:15
Speaker 6: ultimately a staffer that may or may have been planted
6:20
Speaker 6: into that situation.
6:22
Speaker 5: Oh you don't say that happen sometimes that work every
6:24
Speaker 5: once in a while.
6:25
Speaker 4: Yeah. Who also would be in the hot category?
6:27
Speaker 1: Guys.
6:27
Speaker 6: Bryce Terrang, Son of a Gun is just the mainstay
6:31
Speaker 6: into the hot category. I don't know that you could
6:33
Speaker 6: get much hotter pause than what Bryce Terrang has come
6:37
Speaker 6: in and started the twenty twenty sixth season with doing
6:40
Speaker 6: exactly drew what we were hoping he was going to
6:41
Speaker 6: do off that WBC energy. Bring that right on into
6:46
Speaker 6: the big leagues. Bring that right on over here. Also,
6:48
Speaker 6: who's hot is my man Aaron in Carolina with my
6:50
Speaker 6: joke about the Duke fans pulling uh coming out in
6:53
Speaker 6: the Homer Simpson mean, when all of a sudden busting
6:55
Speaker 6: out their Yankees hats and Laker jerseys. Great, great situation
7:00
Speaker 6: for all those fake Duke fans that are ultimately around there.
7:02
Speaker 6: What's not fake is the kind of work that they're
7:05
Speaker 6: doing at Donovan Jorgensen and largest employee owned HVAC company
7:08
Speaker 6: in the state of Wisconsin. That's what sets them apart.
7:10
Speaker 6: They want to earn your business. Also, they're going to
7:12
Speaker 6: earn your business with a sixty month zero percent interest
7:15
Speaker 6: deal going on right now, qualifying ares Pro Systems with

7:47
Speaker 6: Cube up in there. I don't know if you if
7:50

7:53
Speaker 6: John Boy Media was able to celebrate that with Sandy
7:57
Speaker 6: al Contra, who was celebrating yesterday in that series.
8:00
Speaker 5: Dominated complete game was phenomenal. This is how he sounded after.
8:30
Speaker 4: They were at the house. They may not have been here,
8:33
Speaker 4: but they loved them. They were all watching here. I
8:37
Speaker 4: can feel them.
8:37
Speaker 1: I could not watching.
8:39
Speaker 5: That's amazing work there. I didn't glad you brought that.
8:42
Speaker 5: I didn't that the fans were not here.
8:44
Speaker 4: But the fans were not here, but we still love them.
8:48
Speaker 6: Feel I was at least somebody was able to witness,
8:50
Speaker 6: oh Man, sixty six hundred people at a major League
8:54
Speaker 6: baseball game. They had They probably had sixty six hundred
8:57
Speaker 6: people working for that WBC game there.
8:59
Speaker 4: And in a row.
9:00
Speaker 5: That's the thing. It wasn't just one bad one. I mean,
9:02
Speaker 5: this is just you know, we joked about you haven't
9:05
Speaker 5: heard contracting in a while. We joked about that a
9:07
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago. Maybe they got a problem down
9:10
Speaker 5: there in Florida with the baseball team relocation relegate the teams,
9:14
Speaker 5: but the teams that they Okay, I don't think Marl
9:17
Speaker 5: acting the team.
9:17
Speaker 4: Maybe is a contract.
9:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, like instead of well, you know who's hot, who's
9:22
Speaker 6: not shot out? Donovan Jorgenson, Donovan j And they're not contracting.
9:26
Speaker 6: They're only expanded. Only absolutely h That Cubs game yesterday
9:31
Speaker 6: was thirty nine degrees and it looked miserable. Yeah, when
9:34
Speaker 6: you see the full sche masks or as the the
9:36
Speaker 6: high school kids are calling them the shisties that they
9:38
Speaker 6: got to wear underneath their helmets of it all the time.
9:40
Speaker 6: You're rocking that with the baseball hat, that's a game
9:43
Speaker 6: that might need to get moved.
9:44
Speaker 4: They got it in. The White Sox have already canceled
9:47
Speaker 4: their game for today, their home opener. They get us
9:49
Speaker 4: out of here.
9:50
Speaker 6: And the fans were already talking about that drew on
9:52
Speaker 6: on Sunday when we were down there in the belly
9:55
Speaker 6: of a Beast with a bunch of White Sox fans
9:57
Speaker 6: this past Sunday at American Family Field, They're like, well,
10:00
Speaker 6: you got to come here because we're not going to
10:02
Speaker 6: be able to go to any of the games next
10:04
Speaker 6: week because they're already they were already eyeing up and
10:06
Speaker 6: circling Thursday as you might as well work because we're
10:10
Speaker 6: not getting that day off like we thought.
10:11
Speaker 5: When you might have to cancel for a month. This
10:13
Speaker 5: doesn't seem very functional.
10:14
Speaker 4: I don't know.
10:15
Speaker 5: I mean, it's one of those things where I understand
10:17
Speaker 5: stadiums are what they are already, so you're not gonna
10:19
Speaker 5: build a roup. But like we're already starting early enough.
10:21
Speaker 5: I mean, we start a week earlier this year. It
10:23
Speaker 5: just seems like, I guess this is part of life,
10:26
Speaker 5: this is part of baseball. We do this every spring,
10:28
Speaker 5: but man, it is just like we're gonna start earlier now.
10:31
Speaker 1: I don't know.
10:32
Speaker 5: It just seems wild to me, But what can you do.
10:34
Speaker 5: I guess Dave and Monona is in on the YouTube stream.
10:38
Speaker 5: Fun begin David, Monona's arrived and want to give Michelle
10:40
Speaker 5: all right. He was trying to find the YouTube stream.
10:43
Speaker 5: He's on the text line. So Dave, you're in. You're
10:45
Speaker 5: into the YouTube stream. Congratulations, all right, he made it.
10:48
Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about.
10:49
Speaker 6: I love when we're able to grab more people into
10:51
Speaker 6: this into the stream.
10:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, the video stream is growing every day. We're still
10:54
Speaker 4: hard to find. Yeah it is. We're getting there. We're
10:57
Speaker 4: getting there.
10:57
Speaker 6: I have your friends to find us. A friend Jake
11:00
Speaker 6: at the ballpark yesterday. He stopped me in the pretzel line, said,
11:03
Speaker 6: I was fired up to find.
11:04
Speaker 4: When you, guys all of a sudden came back on AM.
11:06
Speaker 6: He's like, guys, I work at six am, so I
11:09
Speaker 6: get to go to work now with a show. Then
11:12
Speaker 6: have you in the earbuds for the first two hours,
11:14
Speaker 6: which are potentially the worst two hours of work. So
11:17
Speaker 6: I was very excited to talk to Jake yesterday. He
11:20
Speaker 6: was even more pumped that we were on AM. Brawn too.
11:22
Speaker 3: He's like, he said, I missed you in the afternoons. Well,
11:24
Speaker 3: I'm doing mornings out. Instead of driving home with you'll
11:27
Speaker 3: drive to work with you. Okay, that's perfect. That works
11:29
Speaker 3: for me.
11:29
Speaker 6: It fires you up even better and we either way,
11:32
Speaker 6: we can still celebrate Junior Camonaro as our friend. Joe
11:34
Speaker 6: and Pewaukee said, wait, who's not it's Junior Gammonaro with
11:37
Speaker 6: three errors. What also might be hot is the request
11:40
Speaker 6: line for a review on any of those he's gonna
11:43
Speaker 6: get he's gonna lose all of those appeals because all of.
11:46
Speaker 3: Them appealing those I mean, my goodness, he should be
11:49
Speaker 3: buying his as Pitcher's steak dinners for not for making
11:53
Speaker 3: their life more miserable.
11:54
Speaker 4: Man, excuse me, guys, I'm sorry.
11:57
Speaker 6: I apologize, but that's what happens when you throw me
11:59
Speaker 6: in the first base love right after having the third one.
12:01
Speaker 4: But I wasn't used to it.
12:02
Speaker 3: I thought the Brewers h with the the Yellich bunt, which,
12:05
Speaker 3: by the way, how perfect was that?
12:07
Speaker 4: Oh my god, tremendous. They couldn't have sat on.
12:09
Speaker 3: That's his way on and then squeezes one through the
12:11
Speaker 3: infield for the dagger, right, you know, for the just
12:14
Speaker 3: gor slow. Yeah, that was pretty good stuff. Yesterday. Brewers
12:17
Speaker 3: are rolling looking forward to talking to Hunter Bombguart very soon.
12:21
Speaker 3: It was April Fools yesterday and they had the pro
12:24
Speaker 3: day at Indiana, and I saw I look over Billy's
12:28
Speaker 3: shoulder and I could see the worldwide leader in sports,
12:31
Speaker 3: the Four Letter Network. Oh god, and they said thirty
12:34
Speaker 3: two teams here to see Francisco Mendoza Pro Day. And
12:37
Speaker 3: I'm like, they ain't thirty two teams there for him.
12:40
Speaker 3: Now there's one team there for him, yeah, correct, but
12:43
Speaker 3: they have other players, yes, a lot of They won
12:47
Speaker 3: a national championship. So the thirty two teams there are
12:50
Speaker 3: not there to watch a quarterback that they won't be
12:52
Speaker 3: able to draft.
12:53
Speaker 6: No, and also a layer for the other guys. And
12:56
Speaker 6: I just I do appreciate it. Fernando's phenomenal, right, Like,
12:59
Speaker 6: he had a phenomenal year. I think he's gonna be
13:02
Speaker 6: a very good pro But the over the top, like
13:06
Speaker 6: just lambasting of anything that's not Mendoz's the greatest prospect
13:10
Speaker 6: that we've seen in a long time. He's not the
13:12
Speaker 6: best quarterback prospect we've seen in a long time. No,
13:14
Speaker 6: I mean, like, yeah, if you looked at the May
13:18
Speaker 6: Williams Daniels class, I don't know that he goes in
13:21
Speaker 6: the top three, right, Like, he's probably the fourth guy
13:23
Speaker 6: taken out of that group. And that's not a bad
13:25
Speaker 6: place to be because guess where the fifth guy went
13:28
Speaker 6: to the AFC title game this year?
13:30
Speaker 4: In box?
13:30
Speaker 6: Right like that it doesn't necessarily equate to you being
13:34
Speaker 6: a dominant NFL player, but true, it's so true. Omar
13:37
Speaker 6: Cooper Junior is phenomenal, the running backs that they have tremendous,
13:40
Speaker 6: the defense that helped lead them to the national title
13:43
Speaker 6: when that offense had six points in the Big Ten
13:46
Speaker 6: championship game through three quarters. They got a lot of
13:49
Speaker 6: guys that are gonna play on Sundays, and not just
13:52
Speaker 6: one dude who is very good and was very very
13:57
Speaker 6: had a lot of intestinal fortitude, played balls in the
13:59
Speaker 6: Big Mum, It's no doubt about it. He's going to
14:01
Speaker 6: go number one, even though Dan Rolowski might not think
14:04
Speaker 6: he should.
14:05
Speaker 4: Uh, he's gonna go number one.
14:06
Speaker 1: You're right.
14:07
Speaker 6: The Raiders were there, but I don't think the Cowboys
14:10
Speaker 6: were there to watch Fernando throw the football. They were
14:12
Speaker 6: looking to see how much we were able to get
14:15
Speaker 6: of Surrat catching the football from Mendoza.
14:18
Speaker 4: Or how about Riley Nowakowski showing up a little lot
14:23
Speaker 4: bro day. I like seeing that one, yes, at least,
14:26
Speaker 4: Orlosky little credit.
14:27
Speaker 5: He says ty Simpson's the best quarterback in this draft,
14:29
Speaker 5: that he's been consistent on that so and he has
14:32
Speaker 5: been getting getting roads. And that's the problem, Billy. It's
14:35
Speaker 5: the group think. Like if one person dares to say
14:38
Speaker 5: something different, he's getting dragged for it. That's why people
14:40
Speaker 5: are well. I think that's also.
14:43
Speaker 6: When you go on when you go on Pats Show
14:45
Speaker 6: and say anything that's not Fernando Mendoz is the greatest
14:48
Speaker 6: player that's ever played professional football.
14:50
Speaker 4: I get on you. Yeah, did you even watch?
14:53
Speaker 1: Did you even watch?
14:54
Speaker 6: Yes, we all watched. We all watched him make good throws. Like,
14:58
Speaker 6: no one's saying he's not a good player. But I
15:00
Speaker 6: think that there's a there's levels to it, and like
15:02
Speaker 6: you've seen a number of different guys raise their level
15:05
Speaker 6: of play in the big moments.
15:07
Speaker 4: That's that's absolutely a trait.
15:09
Speaker 6: The Raiders are going to be pumped to get Mendoza,
15:11
Speaker 6: but uh, all of it thrown up on just being
15:15
Speaker 6: verbally thrown at you throughout for the four Letter Network.
15:18
Speaker 4: Tough.
15:19
Speaker 6: Also, you had no reprieve for me yesterday because yesterday
15:22
Speaker 6: was the first day of the four letter Network taking
15:25
Speaker 6: over the three letter network that I love so much. Yeah,
15:29
Speaker 6: yesterday was the first day of ESPN owning the NFL network.
15:32
Speaker 6: And I'll tell you I did not watch. I did,
15:34
Speaker 6: I protest approached. I just took a day, hold a lone.
15:38
Speaker 6: They felt they felt that I could I knew that
15:41
Speaker 6: they felt my silent protest. It's not like I'm very
15:44
Speaker 6: much against it and like there's some big moral issue
15:47
Speaker 6: to it. But the network's already changed so much, and
15:50
Speaker 6: I don't want to see my man Tom Pellasero working,
15:53
Speaker 6: with all due respect with Adam Schefter. I want to
15:56
Speaker 6: see my NFL network guys working with the NFL network,
16:00
Speaker 6: And I already have to deal with it with Peter
16:01
Speaker 6: Schrager now on ESPN and confuse me.
16:03
Speaker 4: Just keep my guys on the same spot.
16:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, just run old the NFL films, your books team
16:08
Speaker 5: of your books. That's all we need from that.
16:09
Speaker 3: Well, that's fair, Billy. I mean, you know the show.
16:14
Speaker 3: You leave the show and watch Good Morning Football. I
16:18
Speaker 3: used to I used to be watching those were the
16:21
Speaker 3: days right before, Like I love professional wrestling. Why the
16:25
Speaker 3: hell is Seth Rollins co hosting is Good Morning Football?
16:29
Speaker 4: Seth? You got WrestleMania in three weeks?
16:31
Speaker 1: All right?
16:31
Speaker 6: You get your ass off of that show. You get
16:33
Speaker 6: yourself into the gym and get yourself into a coffee pot.
16:35
Speaker 4: We need to get more.
16:36
Speaker 6: Man Titeo takes out of here that there's a that's
16:39
Speaker 6: a show that definitely went down down a different, different
16:43
Speaker 6: level when Nate Burlison and the guts of.
16:45
Speaker 4: It ended up getting ripped.
16:47
Speaker 6: That that is a sensitive subject for one that I've
16:50
Speaker 6: enjoyed so long, last thing on the NFL, because we're
16:55
Speaker 6: gonna shift gears to baseball when Hunter arrives.
16:57
Speaker 4: But could the.
16:58
Speaker 3: Packers peel off one of the receivers of the Rams
17:01
Speaker 3: going to be in the market now that Pookakua's and
17:02
Speaker 3: rehab and his astatus is a little uncertain. They need
17:07
Speaker 3: some depth there going for the bread far career Mark, Well,
17:09
Speaker 3: it might. It might make sense then why they didn't
17:12
Speaker 3: trade DeVante Adams they met. Sean McVay said it at
17:15
Speaker 3: his breakfast table. He's like, yeah, yeah, we we negotiated
17:19
Speaker 3: with teams to trade for trade Vonte. We're not trading
17:21
Speaker 3: him because we love him so much. But I did
17:24
Speaker 3: tell him that we did.
17:25
Speaker 4: Might they need another they had to? That's a that's
17:28
Speaker 4: a little fascinating situation.
17:31
Speaker 3: Day day three pick for Don Tavian Wicks or something
17:34
Speaker 3: or likely you know who would you peel off?
17:36
Speaker 5: Uh?
17:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that would be the easiest one to replace.
17:39
Speaker 6: But the Rams have drafted too well in the third round.
17:41
Speaker 6: Now they are into Day three, Puka was in line
17:45
Speaker 6: for the top JSN and even Les nine said, before
17:49
Speaker 6: you make that kind of financial commitment, we not make
17:51
Speaker 6: sure the personal sides all figured out.
17:53
Speaker 4: That's big.
17:53
Speaker 6: You want to talk about the amount of money that
17:55
Speaker 6: potentially was lost there for one Pukakua, he's in a lawsuit.
17:59
Speaker 4: It is a while situation.
18:00
Speaker 5: He wanted to get his name in the rehab headlines
18:03
Speaker 5: today because Tiger had stolen all of them, so he
18:05
Speaker 5: wanted to get in there. So you know, I think
18:07
Speaker 5: that's part well, I mean, and Tiger's going out of
18:10
Speaker 5: the country for rehab now I saw, yeah, got permission
18:13
Speaker 5: to leave, which I think is interesting. So the thing
18:16
Speaker 5: with Pooka is this episode and the timing of it
18:18
Speaker 5: is right when he wants the extension, right.
18:20
Speaker 4: When he wants the extension.
18:22
Speaker 6: Okay, Well I was wondering, like a different stratosphere of
18:25
Speaker 6: extension too, drew like forty plus million.
18:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jackson Smith and Jacobfel. But he's looking for
18:30
Speaker 3: that and like I just when I saw, all right,
18:32
Speaker 3: he's going to rehab. Is this eyewash Is it just
18:35
Speaker 3: to help him with the suit? Is it to help
18:37
Speaker 3: you know?
18:37
Speaker 4: Sway? The public opinion is it legit. I don't know.
18:41
Speaker 6: They're very always skeptical. Yeah, all of those are on
18:44
Speaker 6: the table. And as somebody that has been tied to
18:48
Speaker 6: Puka Akua in a very very important dynasty fantasy football
18:51
Speaker 6: league since he came into the league from BYU, we
18:54
Speaker 6: want to make that we want that to figure it out.
18:56
Speaker 6: We want we want Pooka to figured out because he's
18:57
Speaker 6: good for ball when he's talking, having fun, and he
19:00
Speaker 6: is a good person to have in the NFL. We
19:03
Speaker 6: want to make sure that we clean this stuffup cause
19:04
Speaker 6: we get me biting people absolutely fun.
19:06
Speaker 4: All right, can't be.
19:07
Speaker 6: Watching these Twilight movies taking it to real life, Pooka,
19:10
Speaker 6: our pal Hunter Bomb Guard Team Jacob and Team Edward
19:13
Speaker 6: is not in real life exactly true.
19:15
Speaker 3: Our pal Hunter Bombguart is going to join us next.
19:19
Speaker 3: He was he's been at the ballpark. He has he

19:46
Speaker 3: to our party, our Brewers correspondent, our pal star of
19:50
Speaker 3: the Brewers, or the Baseball pregame show and Thursday Night
19:55
Speaker 3: Baseball Tonight, Milwaukee Baseball Tonight. Hunter Bombguard joins us. Hunter,
19:59
Speaker 3: thank you for a waking up early. How you doing? Oh,
20:04
Speaker 3: Hunters muted? Come on, Hunter, hit the button armment.
20:08
Speaker 2: I at one of these weeks, I'm not going to
20:10
Speaker 2: mute my own.
20:13
Speaker 4: I don't put that on you, but I don't put that
20:14
Speaker 4: on your.
20:15
Speaker 1: Come hopefully next week. I'm great. How are you guys?
20:18
Speaker 4: Great?
20:19
Speaker 6: Better?
20:19
Speaker 4: Now we're great. Everything's good. The Brewers are five and one.
20:23
Speaker 3: It couldn't be well. It could be better, but not
20:25
Speaker 3: much better, not much, not much. Things fell their way
20:29
Speaker 3: on the homestand and especially yesterday. But Hunter, the theme
20:33
Speaker 3: that I keep harping on and I keep pounting on
20:34
Speaker 3: is how good the Brewers bullpen has been. That to
20:37
Speaker 3: me is the backbone of this operation right now.
20:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean then I asked Christian Yelich that in
20:42
Speaker 2: the clubhouse yesterday. Like, you guys have had good bullpens
20:46
Speaker 2: over the years, right, They've had a lot of good
20:48
Speaker 2: pitchers come through that bullpen. But you know, what does
20:52
Speaker 2: it mean to you guys as an offense to know
20:53
Speaker 2: they're going to keep you in the game. As much
20:55
Speaker 2: as the offense has been really good and they are tied.
20:58
Speaker 1: For the league lead, major league lead.
21:01
Speaker 2: In runs and everything like that, that bullpen has kept
21:04
Speaker 2: them in games that allowed them to either come back
21:06
Speaker 2: or if the game is tied, take the lead late.
21:09
Speaker 2: And Yelitia is like, yeah, that's kind of our formula, right,
21:12
Speaker 2: somehow get it to the back end guys at the
21:14
Speaker 2: end to go and win us the game. And sometimes
21:17
Speaker 2: that's been the formula. Sometimes it's been even, hey, you
21:20
Speaker 2: have a six run lead, let's give it to dl
21:21
Speaker 2: Hall to finish things off yesterday. So they have had
21:24
Speaker 2: that formula for years and it's working again. That's what
21:27
Speaker 2: That's what the Brewers are doing. They seem to be
21:29
Speaker 2: using kind of every formula they've used in the past
21:32
Speaker 2: and putting it all together in these first six games. Now,
21:34
Speaker 2: what will happen over the next one hundred and fifty
21:36
Speaker 2: six remains to be seen. That's a really good sign
21:39
Speaker 2: for a team that knows exactly how they need to win,
21:43
Speaker 2: has proved that it's worked over the last two years,
21:46
Speaker 2: and now they're just going out with the confidence of
21:48
Speaker 2: every every year that has happened in the past behind them,
21:51
Speaker 2: it seems, and going out and winning well.
21:53
Speaker 6: And I think the overarching theme from this show has
21:57
Speaker 6: also been a Brewers gonna be hard to not better
22:00
Speaker 6: than they were last year in terms of like the
22:02
Speaker 6: individual talents, but gonna be hard to beat ninety seven
22:06
Speaker 6: wins right Like but Hunter, what you just mentioned is
22:09
Speaker 6: they've taken the identity from twenty ninety five and like
22:12
Speaker 6: Patrick Starza.
22:12
Speaker 4: Wa, we just move it over here, they've been able
22:15
Speaker 4: to move it to twenty twenty six. That's not an
22:18
Speaker 4: easy thing to.
22:19
Speaker 6: Do, to just be able to pick up where you
22:22
Speaker 6: left off. I know they got a lot of the
22:23
Speaker 6: same pieces, they infuse a little bit of other spices
22:28
Speaker 6: into the mix. So Luis brend Heifo is a veteran
22:31
Speaker 6: that's been around but fits into their culture right out
22:33
Speaker 6: of the gates because he sits the first two days,
22:35
Speaker 6: same with David Hamilton. Like it's a tough thing to
22:38
Speaker 6: just pick up where you left off. But it does
22:40
Speaker 6: appear while learning how to win a little bit differently,
22:43
Speaker 6: maybe this year they have been able to build off
22:47
Speaker 6: of everything they were in twenty twenty five.
22:50
Speaker 2: Exactly like you said, ninety seven wins is gonna be
22:52
Speaker 2: hard to replicate. Obviously, five and one is better than
22:55
Speaker 2: zho and four to start the year, which is which
22:57
Speaker 2: is a good thing.
22:58
Speaker 5: Uh.
22:59
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's it. I mean, I did
23:01
Speaker 2: this team knows what their identity is. I mean, these team,
23:04
Speaker 2: these guys that have been around, right the Bryce Terrans,
23:06
Speaker 2: the sal Freeliks, the obviously Christian Yelich has been around
23:10
Speaker 2: a while. But these guys that have been and you know,
23:13
Speaker 2: even even a guy who's been there, Blake Perkins, who's
23:16
Speaker 2: up with the major league club right now, like these
23:18
Speaker 2: in Lockridge, who was with there for a couple of
23:19
Speaker 2: months last year when they obviously went through some of
23:22
Speaker 2: those winning streaks, I mean their fourteen game winning streak.
23:24
Speaker 2: Lockridge was in it because Churio was hurt, right, So
23:27
Speaker 2: they've had these guys who know their identity and the lineup,
23:32
Speaker 2: like you said, like it's probably better than it was
23:36
Speaker 2: last year. If you have Vaughan and Churio in it
23:38
Speaker 2: last last night. I mean going later into that game,
23:41
Speaker 2: you had the last bottom of four of your order
23:43
Speaker 2: were I think like Oer for eleven, oh for twelve,
23:45
Speaker 2: like they were not having a great day. But then
23:47
Speaker 2: it only was a matter of time. And it's rare
23:49
Speaker 2: that you're gonna have a day where that whole bottom
23:52
Speaker 2: of the lineup or or or a portion of your
23:55
Speaker 2: lineup is not hitting throughout nine innings. Right, it may
23:58
Speaker 2: happen through six or seven, right. Shane McLeay was doing
24:00
Speaker 2: really good, I think took a no hitter into the
24:02
Speaker 2: fifth or sixth the other night, and then Rasmussen was
24:05
Speaker 2: doing well as well. But eventually they're gonna put pressure
24:09
Speaker 2: on you. And once you get that pressure started, once
24:12
Speaker 2: those guys are on base, once they start swiping bases,
24:15
Speaker 2: they lead Majors and stolen bases at fifteen. Right now,
24:18
Speaker 2: that ex closest is the Rockies at ten. They're swiping
24:21
Speaker 2: bases again, and once they start doing that, that's going
24:24
Speaker 2: to be hard for pitchers and catchers to stop. And
24:26
Speaker 2: then it kind of seems to snowball from there. Through
24:28
Speaker 2: these first six games.
24:29
Speaker 3: We're chatting with Huncher Bombguard our Baseball go to Guy
24:32
Speaker 3: shows at six o'clock tonight.
24:33
Speaker 1: Hunter.
24:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, shows at six o'clock tonight. We'll recap the week
24:37
Speaker 2: and look ahead to the weekend in Kansas City for
24:39
Speaker 2: the Brewers.
24:40
Speaker 5: Has anything surprised you yet from this lineup or from
24:43
Speaker 5: this pitching staff? Hunter, would you say there's a one
24:45
Speaker 5: that thing that surprised you the most about the start
24:48
Speaker 5: for the Brewers or is it you know they had done,
24:50
Speaker 5: like you said, a lot of what we expected, but
24:53
Speaker 5: maybe some things that you haven't expected.
24:56
Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily, I mean, the offense looked pretty good
25:01
Speaker 2: coming into the season. I don't know if I thought
25:03
Speaker 2: they'd average seven and a half runs over the first
25:05
Speaker 2: six games. Sure like that is it's one thing to
25:07
Speaker 2: do that over a series, right, and one thing to
25:09
Speaker 2: do it against the White Sox. And now they're to
25:11
Speaker 2: start doing it again against the Rays, and then you know,
25:13
Speaker 2: we'll see how the rest goes. And I know the
25:15
Speaker 2: Rays aren't going to be the Dodgers, but it's it's
25:18
Speaker 2: I think, a step up and their record will be
25:20
Speaker 2: better than the White Sox.
25:21
Speaker 1: They're a pesky team.
25:22
Speaker 2: The Race play a little bit of the same style
25:24
Speaker 2: that the Brewers do, and we saw a little bit
25:26
Speaker 2: of that as well, so that I think a little bit,
25:29
Speaker 2: but also through one turn in the rotation, those starters
25:32
Speaker 2: other than maybe brand other than Brandon Sprode, obviously we're
25:36
Speaker 2: pretty good.
25:37
Speaker 1: I think.
25:38
Speaker 2: Also I think the bullpen probably if I were at
25:41
Speaker 2: a pinpoint one thing that is most surprising, not because
25:44
Speaker 2: they weren't good, but they relied on the same guys
25:47
Speaker 2: for a few years, and eventually those arms seem to
25:50
Speaker 2: turn over more. Right, the Jared Kanings of the world,
25:52
Speaker 2: the Grant Anderson's of the world.
25:54
Speaker 1: Grant Anderson has.
25:55
Speaker 2: Pitched really well over five innings four games so far,
25:59
Speaker 2: and he's been putting some leverage spots yesterday in a
26:02
Speaker 2: tie ball game in the seventh inning, so to be
26:05
Speaker 2: able to rely on more guys than not in that
26:09
Speaker 2: in that bullpen, guys like Woodford who have come in
26:12
Speaker 2: and done well, Dl Hall, Aaron Ashby's done what he
26:15
Speaker 2: did last year so far, and Trevor McGill obviously had
26:20
Speaker 2: the hiccup the other night. But the only loss by
26:23
Speaker 2: the brus right now is by one run, and that
26:24
Speaker 2: was by a you know, two out double that Trevor
26:27
Speaker 2: McGill left a high fastball up and fourtes loves high fastballs,
26:30
Speaker 2: and that's the difference between a five and one and
26:32
Speaker 2: a six and oh team.
26:33
Speaker 1: Right now, it's not like, you know, not like.
26:35
Speaker 2: They're and it's not like they're winning kind of just
26:37
Speaker 2: by the skin of their teeth either. They got a
26:39
Speaker 2: fourteen to two win in there, they got an eighty
26:41
Speaker 2: two winning there, they got a nine to seven, Like
26:43
Speaker 2: they've won a bunch of different ways. Bryce Terrank said
26:45
Speaker 2: that in the clubhouse yesterday. It's like, we're showing we
26:47
Speaker 2: can win in a bunch of different ways. So surprising,
26:50
Speaker 2: I'd say the bullpen, But I shouldn't be surprised.
26:51
Speaker 1: Because the bus bullpen has been good for so many years.
26:54
Speaker 2: But I'd say just for this twenty six team, that
26:57
Speaker 2: was kind of like, Okay, how are the pieces going
26:59
Speaker 2: to fit?
26:59
Speaker 1: So far? They're fitting really well.
27:01
Speaker 4: Hunter, you mentioned Bryce Terrange just there? Is it just me?
27:05
Speaker 3: Is he getting to be more talkative? Is he getting
27:08
Speaker 3: more comfortable being interviewed a little bit to the World
27:10
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic experience, being around those guys as he's settling in,
27:15
Speaker 3: Because the joke amongst stusts in the media was he
27:17
Speaker 3: was not a go to guy for pithy postgame comments.
27:22
Speaker 4: Is he improving in that regard?
27:24
Speaker 2: I think if you're going to be as good as
27:26
Speaker 2: Bryce Terrang has been, you kind of need to be
27:27
Speaker 2: a go.
27:28
Speaker 1: To guy in the clubhouse.
27:29
Speaker 2: And that's what it's proven to be because that guy
27:32
Speaker 2: is just hitting the cover off the baseball. I was
27:34
Speaker 2: at that home run yesterday, I was kind of I
27:37
Speaker 2: just was marveling.
27:38
Speaker 1: His swing just looks so easy.
27:40
Speaker 2: And I know there's a lot to it, and there's
27:42
Speaker 2: you know, they work on this stuff every day and
27:45
Speaker 2: every night and they're getting better and through spring training
27:48
Speaker 2: in the off season all that, but boy, it just
27:50
Speaker 2: looks like sometimes he puts the bat out there and
27:52
Speaker 2: it just the ball just soars and it sorts over
27:54
Speaker 2: the fence. And so yeah, I think he is I
27:58
Speaker 2: enjoy Yeah, he's definitely coming up with more, you know,
28:01
Speaker 2: and he was a lot of you know, cliches earlier
28:04
Speaker 2: in his career the last couple of years maybe, but
28:06
Speaker 2: it does seem that he is coming up with, you know,
28:08
Speaker 2: maybe a little more thoughtful answers. And we see that
28:10
Speaker 2: with a lot with players. It's not just maybe Bryce
28:12
Speaker 2: ter raing, but Bryce Rang. I think maybe was more
28:14
Speaker 2: of an extreme example of just kind of going through
28:17
Speaker 2: the flow of an interview and and and talking more
28:19
Speaker 2: in the cliche realm. But now you can know that
28:22
Speaker 2: when you talk to him, you're gonna get more of
28:24
Speaker 2: a thoughtful answer. You're gonna get kind of what's what's
28:27
Speaker 2: going on, you know, more in the mind of Bryce Terrang,
28:29
Speaker 2: which I think we all are interested in because of
28:31
Speaker 2: how good he is right now, uh, and and turning
28:34
Speaker 2: into I mean it's like he hits the home run
28:36
Speaker 2: and then the next sitting he makes a diving stop.
28:38
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just that that type of stuff. And
28:40
Speaker 2: then you go to the and I think one thing
28:42
Speaker 2: that's kind of unsung here. The top of the eighth
28:44
Speaker 2: inning ends in a double play that Ortiz gets to
28:47
Speaker 2: a ball that you know he got. He makes it
28:50
Speaker 2: look easy, but not every shortstop is going to get
28:52
Speaker 2: to that ball, right. It's a double play quickly turned
28:55
Speaker 2: by Bryce Terrang, who makes a fantastic turn at second.
28:58
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, it's a six run ning
28:59
Speaker 2: the that gets through. It's one out in the race
29:02
Speaker 2: of two of yeah, and so like I just these
29:04
Speaker 2: these things that are it's offense turning into defense, it's
29:08
Speaker 2: defense turning into offense. Like however you want to spin it,
29:11
Speaker 2: It's just complimentary right now. And so Bryce Terraing. Obviously
29:14
Speaker 2: we know he's good on every level, but boy, it
29:17
Speaker 2: just that that that stock continues to go.
29:20
Speaker 1: Towards the moon.
29:21
Speaker 4: I love it. Hunter. What was the reaction.
29:24
Speaker 3: Obviously, it was a scary moment when Stebe Buckner got
29:27
Speaker 3: hit and had to exit and the umpires had to
29:29
Speaker 3: make it with a three man crew, probably for the
29:31
Speaker 3: first time since there were double a Did any players
29:33
Speaker 3: talk about that? Because I thought the interesting thing was
29:36
Speaker 3: that for all of the recent headlines and the jokes
29:39
Speaker 3: on social media, when he got hit, Ceebe Buckner was
29:42
Speaker 3: having a perfect game. He was like, granted we were
29:45
Speaker 3: in the top of the second inning, plenty of time
29:47
Speaker 3: to see be it, but yeah, we were at it
29:49
Speaker 3: inning in two thirds so far. But he hadn't missed
29:53
Speaker 3: a pitch, like he hadn't had a challenge and he
29:55
Speaker 3: hadn't really hadn't agreed, just miss and then he got
29:57
Speaker 3: knocked out of the game. Did any of the players reacted,
29:59
Speaker 3: You talk to Traist or anybody about it?
30:02
Speaker 2: Didn't talk to contrast, when we talked to Yelich and
30:04
Speaker 2: Mizerowski both about it, and they were just like, yeah,
30:07
Speaker 2: I didn't love seeing that. I think MS was a
30:09
Speaker 2: little shook up about that.
30:11
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you can be.
30:12
Speaker 2: You throw one hundred miles an hour and the balls
30:14
Speaker 2: fall tipped and it hits him and you see Cebe's reaction,
30:17
Speaker 2: and no matter what happened the night before, you never
30:19
Speaker 2: want to see that.
30:21
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it's unfortunate.
30:23
Speaker 2: Just and at first it's like, you know, a lot
30:25
Speaker 2: of those guys will just get hit and they'll keep going.
30:27
Speaker 2: They'll be like, oh, yeah, sure, you know they're they're
30:29
Speaker 2: for better or for worse. But this was smart decision.
30:32
Speaker 2: I mean, one hundred to the to the face mask,
30:35
Speaker 2: he rocked with.
30:36
Speaker 6: Me Yres gave the wave over to the trainer's hand like, hey,
30:39
Speaker 6: somebody better get over here, right.
30:40
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not trained in doing that. I thought
30:42
Speaker 3: there was a tell. Like, first of all you saw
30:45
Speaker 3: was a Chad Fairburn. The first base goes down.
30:47
Speaker 6: Start walking inside, he goes to get the gear on,
30:49
Speaker 6: so we're gonna have a change. So it's like a
30:50
Speaker 6: twenty minute delay. But then when they walked him off,
30:53
Speaker 6: the Brewers medical guys, the athletic trainers. They helped him
30:57
Speaker 6: down through the Brewers side. Now the Umpire Clubhouse is
31:01
Speaker 6: through the visitors tunnel and you go through the third,
31:03
Speaker 6: but they took him to the Brewers, so I mean, oh,
31:05
Speaker 6: he's getting further.
31:06
Speaker 4: They were doing more. Are there meeting They're meeting the
31:08
Speaker 4: doctor and the Brewers Clubhouse. This was out and everything
31:11
Speaker 4: like that. Well, that was my take.
31:12
Speaker 5: One thing I said earlier in the show Hunter, and
31:14
Speaker 5: it's true. I mean, one thing we never expected is
31:17
Speaker 5: for C. B. Buckinger to be getting a standing ovation
31:19
Speaker 5: when he came out the field when we started that game,
31:22
Speaker 5: so that you never know what you're gonna first time
31:24
Speaker 5: in his career.
31:25
Speaker 6: Never never know what you'll see at the ball. Now,
31:27
Speaker 6: our friend Boss Dopbler was was ready to make the
31:29
Speaker 6: joke about Karatt Mitchell and he's like, well, nice to
31:31
Speaker 6: see him at in and and.
31:33
Speaker 4: Factor in the Uh.
31:35
Speaker 6: The I R might be for Sal Freelick over the
31:37
Speaker 6: next couple of days, because it does feel like he's
31:38
Speaker 6: trying to find it, find his way through. But when
31:41
Speaker 6: you try to get some confidence it we were talking
31:44
Speaker 6: about yesterday, I almost feel bad for Garrett because he
31:46
Speaker 6: hasn't played in so long.
31:47
Speaker 4: It's got to be difficult to get a.
31:49
Speaker 6: Real rhythm when you play in so few games over
31:53
Speaker 6: the last number of years. But just confidence growing through
31:57
Speaker 6: the locker room. How do you feel like that's at
31:59
Speaker 6: with some of those guys, Guys who are in, you know,
32:02
Speaker 6: platoon situations where clearly talking about roles with the Packers,
32:05
Speaker 6: their role they would much prefer would be to be
32:08
Speaker 6: playing every single day.
32:10
Speaker 2: So far, it seems Hamilton and Renhietho been doing a
32:12
Speaker 2: pretty good job of that of being able to be
32:15
Speaker 2: ready to go. Hamilton using that speed on the bases,
32:18
Speaker 2: drop it down a bunch, you know, different things like that.
32:21
Speaker 2: It seems they're still engaged and ready to go when
32:24
Speaker 2: their number is called center field.
32:26
Speaker 1: Really too.
32:27
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, some of Garrett Mitchell's at bats have
32:30
Speaker 2: not looked great. I mean, be honest with you, I
32:32
Speaker 2: think he'd tell you that. But he's also, like he said,
32:36
Speaker 2: getting the feel for it. It's one thing to go
32:37
Speaker 2: through spring training, it's another to be in the regular season.
32:40
Speaker 2: I think that double yesterday is huge. I think it's
32:42
Speaker 2: huge for his confidence. I think it's it's you know,
32:46
Speaker 2: maybe even the in the coaching staff as well, because
32:48
Speaker 2: some of those strikeouts and some of those walls he's
32:50
Speaker 2: watching down the bed just doesn't seem like a like
32:53
Speaker 2: a like Garrett Mitchell kind of right, And so I
32:56
Speaker 2: think that that double down the line will help him.
32:58
Speaker 2: I think selfrey like, there's not all nine guys in
33:01
Speaker 2: this lineup are going to come into the season and
33:04
Speaker 2: be hitting.
33:04
Speaker 1: I mean, most of them are, it seems through the
33:06
Speaker 1: first six games.
33:08
Speaker 2: But there's gonna be a guy or two who are
33:10
Speaker 2: not going to have a great hot start. And I
33:11
Speaker 2: think Freelick has like three hits so far in the
33:14
Speaker 2: first six games, which obviously we know he's better than that,
33:17
Speaker 2: one of them being that home run on opening Day.
33:19
Speaker 2: But I have a confidence that will turn around. So
33:22
Speaker 2: it is it'll be interesting because I think they still
33:25
Speaker 2: and they bet you know, Garrett Mitchell has hit fifth
33:28
Speaker 2: in that lineup at times so far this season. I
33:30
Speaker 2: think there is still an effort to get him at
33:33
Speaker 2: bats and get him in that lineup. Now, Lockridge had
33:36
Speaker 2: a good spring and they're obviously putting him in there too,
33:40
Speaker 2: And with obviously Churio out, they're putting him in left sometimes.
33:43
Speaker 2: So you could see that Perkins was in there yesterday.
33:47
Speaker 2: But I do think they're Look the Brewers, this is
33:50
Speaker 2: how they win. They use every ban on that roster,
33:52
Speaker 2: whether it's the bullpen, whether it's the starters, whether it's
33:55
Speaker 2: the you know, the offensive players, and so I think
33:57
Speaker 2: you know that when you come into the Brewers that
34:00
Speaker 2: you know, unless you're maybe a Bryce Terrang, right, who's
34:02
Speaker 2: going to play every day? Otherwise you look at every
34:06
Speaker 2: self Freelick and Bryce Terrang and then obviously Contraders behind
34:10
Speaker 2: the plate. But that's only three of your eight guys
34:13
Speaker 2: offensively that are like locked in every day. Otherwise, you
34:16
Speaker 2: know Bowers is probably gonna but you probably play Sanchez
34:19
Speaker 2: against lefty, and then shortstop has even been kind of
34:22
Speaker 2: a platoon. They like to get Hamilton some playing time
34:24
Speaker 2: over Their third base has been every other and and
34:27
Speaker 2: and left and center is kind of who's gonna play there.
34:29
Speaker 2: So they've really moved stuff, moved things around offensively, and
34:33
Speaker 2: it seems it's worked through the first six games because
34:35
Speaker 2: their offense is still humming no matter who is in there.
34:38
Speaker 3: Hunter, you mentioned Jackson Turio. It strikes me that it
34:42
Speaker 3: was a week ago today that we found out that
34:44
Speaker 3: Churio is gonna be on the shelf to start the season,
34:49
Speaker 3: stunning news Brewers five and one without him, But that's
34:52
Speaker 3: a good opportunity for Hunter to spin through the earth.
34:54
Speaker 3: BEEDIC Associates of Wisconsin Injury Report Arthawisconsin dot com or
34:57
Speaker 3: the Betic Associates of Wisconsin.
34:59
Speaker 4: There is a difference.
35:00
Speaker 3: The best in the business world, class care right here
35:02
Speaker 3: close to home, Alter, what's the outlook?
35:04
Speaker 4: Is Cheario doing anything?
35:06
Speaker 3: Have you any updates on some of the injured fellas
35:09
Speaker 3: and maybe even the guys that are throwing, you know,
35:12
Speaker 3: pitching in Arizona at this point.
35:16
Speaker 1: Yes, I got some of it right in front of
35:17
Speaker 1: me here, folks, come.
35:19
Speaker 4: He was ready for the IC Associations with injury update.
35:23
Speaker 2: Yes, Churio is receiving conservative care on his fracture. His
35:29
Speaker 2: SME returns still mid to late April, so originally two
35:33
Speaker 2: to four weeks.
35:34
Speaker 1: Two is probably on the.
35:35
Speaker 2: You know, probably not gonna happen because two weeks would
35:37
Speaker 2: be April ninth, So I would guess any time between
35:40
Speaker 2: the sixteenth and the thirtieth for Jackson Cheurio. Let's see here,
35:44
Speaker 2: Logan Henderson pitched, well, he's still building up in Nashville,
35:48
Speaker 2: but he had that elbow soreness, but he's doing better.
35:51
Speaker 2: Priester is gonna so he's traveling to Arizona now and
35:55
Speaker 2: start his live BP phase. So he's basically restarting spring training.
35:59
Speaker 2: So he's he's doing doing exactly what the pictures would do.
36:03
Speaker 2: Maybe not exactly because he's come back from an injury,
36:05
Speaker 2: but pretty close to what the pictures did in spring
36:07
Speaker 2: training right live BP pitch in the game build up,
36:10
Speaker 2: So hoping to get to Nashville to begin a rehab assignment.
36:15
Speaker 1: It says early.
36:16
Speaker 2: April, so I would think in a week and a half,
36:19
Speaker 2: maybe ten days, you'll see him in Nashville. Quinn Priester
36:23
Speaker 2: seems all things are going well there. Andrew Vaughan had
36:25
Speaker 2: that surgery. His estimated return is mid May. Craig Johos
36:29
Speaker 2: projected to return mid to late April. His first bullpen
36:32
Speaker 2: scheduled for today. Rob Z rob zis Strisney has started
36:36
Speaker 2: his rehab assignment in Nashville, so has Stewart Baroah and also.
36:41
Speaker 1: A Guiel Badou still in June his return there.
36:45
Speaker 2: So those are your those are your updates there on
36:48
Speaker 2: all of the brewers that are currently rehabbing.
36:51
Speaker 5: Hunter doing the digging in the research to make sure
36:53
Speaker 5: every guy and all the medical records well.
36:55
Speaker 3: Done Orthowisconsin dot com worth the Betic Associates of Wisconsin.
36:58
Speaker 5: There is a what a list of guys on a
37:01
Speaker 5: five and one team that still have to come back
37:03
Speaker 5: to That's the thing I take away from that. The
37:05
Speaker 5: cavalry is coming.
37:06
Speaker 3: I mean, my goodness, yeah and well yeah one Vaughn
37:09
Speaker 3: and uh and Cheerio careact'll shake.
37:11
Speaker 5: Things u yeah, Quinn yeah, and only lengthens that lineup.
37:15
Speaker 4: Here's one for you.
37:16
Speaker 3: I will I'll leave you with this Hunter because a
37:18
Speaker 3: friend of mine is coming into town at the end
37:20
Speaker 3: of the month and he's looking at the pitching matchups.
37:22
Speaker 3: Yesterday Misserroskie, we're still on the like Miseroski and Skeens
37:26
Speaker 3: both pitched yesterday.
37:27
Speaker 5: M hmm.
37:27
Speaker 3: Pirates come to town at the end of the month.
37:29
Speaker 3: He's like, what's the chances that they line up? And
37:31
Speaker 3: I was doing the every five day thing. If they
37:33
Speaker 3: stayed on five man rotation, tell me Sunday with the
37:36
Speaker 3: off days, it would be the Sunday game of the
37:38
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh But there's have four off days between now and
37:42
Speaker 3: then that they're gonna slide. Guys, there's I said, bet
37:45
Speaker 3: the under, like you might miss them both in the series.
37:49
Speaker 6: Just don't be on Saturday, because I gotta watch Day
37:51
Speaker 6: four or Day three of the NFL Draft on that Saturday.
37:54
Speaker 6: So if they're gonna pitch that matchup, do it on Sunday.
37:56
Speaker 6: Come on, Hey, my wife leaves that day, so I
37:58
Speaker 6: could go and have a talk about I can kick
38:00
Speaker 6: off all the Skeans Misserowski day.
38:02
Speaker 4: But that's that's a couple of weeks on the road.
38:04
Speaker 3: We can start doing the math, like ten days out,
38:06
Speaker 3: we can start forecasting that.
38:07
Speaker 4: I told him that would be great. But bet the under.
38:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it'd be great to have Miserowski pitch
38:13
Speaker 2: in the series. If you don't feel Scheens, I don't
38:16
Speaker 2: know if I'm going to be too broken up about it.
38:18
Speaker 2: From a Brewers side of things, we'd love to see it. Obviously,
38:21
Speaker 2: another miss Skemes matchup would be awesome. I'd be great
38:24
Speaker 2: for the story. But if you're the Brewers and you
38:25
Speaker 2: miss Schemes, it's like, oh, darn it, oh snapped, Miss Skeens.
38:30
Speaker 4: Darn what do you mean we got another chance?
38:32
Speaker 6: That him in his ninety ra I'm not even that
38:35
Speaker 6: worried about he barely even gets out of the first inning.
38:37
Speaker 1: Went from it went down from sixty seven yesterday. That's good.
38:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, it did somehow get himself down there, Paper Tiger Hunter,

39:28
Speaker 3: Three guys who are happy with.
39:30
Speaker 4: Their roles at work right now.
39:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, like many of the packers under trying circumstances last year.
39:37
Speaker 6: That's what I like to hear, Drew. See, you can't
39:39
Speaker 6: you can't always have the job that you want right now.
39:41
Speaker 4: But you know what you can do.
39:43
Speaker 6: You can dominate the job you got right now to
39:45
Speaker 6: then earn more opportunity going forward.
39:48
Speaker 4: Right, So, like, hey, no block, no rock.
39:50
Speaker 6: Maybe we learned that last year with our roles being
39:53
Speaker 6: divided out in potentially the wide receiver room, that they're
39:56
Speaker 6: going to learn in New England, don't you.
39:57
Speaker 5: Maybe your coach always told you the biggest star of
39:59
Speaker 5: the team, the guy that star is the most in
40:01
Speaker 5: his role, you'd be a star in your role like that,
40:04
Speaker 5: That is what they told. Yeah, that's right. Who's been
40:07
Speaker 5: filling their potential the most? That's what they tell. You know,
40:10
Speaker 5: there's something to that. I think there's something to that.
40:12
Speaker 5: So maybe we'll see Listen, if we see more of
40:15
Speaker 5: a more harmonious uh, maybe you know locker room this
40:19
Speaker 5: year will result in more wins or that we think
40:21
Speaker 5: we should get. Maybe you'd like to think that because
40:24
Speaker 5: we I think we as Packer fans, believe there's more
40:27
Speaker 5: to be left.
40:27
Speaker 4: There's more left in the field.
40:28
Speaker 5: There's more to more wins to be had in the
40:30
Speaker 5: scoreboard based on the talent we have than what we saw,
40:33
Speaker 5: and especially some of the ways the Packers lost late.
40:36
Speaker 5: You wonder if that could have an impact. So hopefully
40:38
Speaker 5: they're trying to figure that out right.

Speaker 6: classic Reese's recipe after backlash, most notably from the grandson

Speaker 6: of the Reese's founder, and he criticized that I've been
41:28
Speaker 6: eating this every day, oh wow, since I was born,

Speaker 4: They changed the chocolate that's been in here.
41:36
Speaker 6: Reesus has always been made of real milk chocolate or
41:39
Speaker 6: dark chocolate peanut butter. But a small portion of Hershey's

41:45
