1:18
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers.
1:19
Speaker 2: You're right.
1:19
Speaker 1: Rogers has basically put it out he is going to play.
1:22
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has said that he's very interested in seeing
1:25
Speaker 1: him play in a couple of preseason games. Sounds like
1:27
Speaker 1: he's gonna play in the first two preseason games, and
1:30
Speaker 1: that's a great way to cap off in the last ride,
1:34
Speaker 1: in the last rodeo, in the full sendoff of his career.
1:37
Speaker 1: He's gonna have one final chance to play against the
1:39
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers with his former coach of the Green
1:42
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. What an awesome one. Even though there's I
1:45
Speaker 1: like that there's no stakes into the game. We'll be
1:46
Speaker 1: talking about it after the game and you know, breaking
1:49
Speaker 1: down all the third and fourth stringers and fifth string
1:51
Speaker 1: guys that had their moments of glory there on that
1:54
Speaker 1: preseason opener Drew But we're we're right there, We're right
1:57
Speaker 1: on the cuss talking about it on Packers ote. But
1:59
Speaker 1: that's the great part of it is there are no stakes.
2:01
Speaker 1: We can just enjoy the reunion. It's sort of like
2:04
Speaker 1: like he had to be in this one, right, he
2:06
Speaker 1: had to play, right, he has to at least give
2:08
Speaker 1: a series like just to be out there. Then take
2:10
Speaker 1: the pictures and McCarthy and just had that moment of
2:13
Speaker 1: clarity and full circle bonding. It's bonding summer for him,
2:17
Speaker 1: you know. So that is it's bonding week. There are
2:19
Speaker 1: a lot of bonding weeks I would I would be
2:21
Speaker 1: interested in, and I know the Packers.
2:23
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say no.
2:24
Speaker 1: I speculate true that the Packers are gonna want their
2:27
Speaker 1: guys to play at least a tick into preseason, right
2:29
Speaker 1: like I think, yeah, it's gonna want to get at
2:31
Speaker 1: least a little bit of run into the preseason, be
2:33
Speaker 1: at home, maybe at home, but generally with the joint practice,
2:37
Speaker 1: you're not playing the next couple of turies and the
2:39
Speaker 1: elevation in Denver. That might make some sense. They're in
2:43
Speaker 1: the on the Friday in the second game. The tough
2:45
Speaker 1: thing about the Pittsburgh one. You think you want to
2:47
Speaker 1: play and maybe get in the first one, get yourself
2:49
Speaker 1: rolling and then bubble wrap you to the end. But
2:52
Speaker 1: it's a month of them for the first game. I
2:54
Speaker 1: don't know how much that even helps you. Yeah, what's
2:56
Speaker 1: the point? So tonight seven o'clock if you're so inclined
2:59
Speaker 1: with the playing a matinee. If you're not going to
3:02
Speaker 1: State Fair, the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium NBC
3:06
Speaker 1: is where you can go. And it's Carolina and Arizona.
3:08
Speaker 1: You could see Mikey Lafleur's first coaching FORAY as a
3:11
Speaker 1: head coach calling the shots. Now. I used to do
3:15
Speaker 1: a segment in regular segments with this gambling expert. I can't,
3:20
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to give him the prop.
3:22
Speaker 1: But let's just say his name was Jack. He was
3:24
Speaker 1: jumbo Jack.
3:25
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, yes, I love that one. I knew Jack
3:28
Speaker 2: talking about nine recorded.

3:37
Speaker 1: him about food. He lived in Oklahoma. I love talking
3:39
Speaker 1: about food. Uh, and of course wagering and.
3:42
Speaker 2: Absolutely degree the Greek.
3:45
Speaker 1: Jumbo Jack would say, and he's one of the rare
3:49
Speaker 1: guys because if you're interested, tonight, Carolina minus one point five.
3:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Jumbo Jack would say.
3:54
Speaker 1: If you find yourself wagering and investing on preseason football.
3:58
Speaker 2: You probably have a problem.
4:00
Speaker 1: There's the guy who are the lifeblood of his industry
4:03
Speaker 1: is giving people touting and like to go ahead and
4:06
Speaker 1: tell people what games to pick, and you can buy
4:08
Speaker 1: his picks and you can he like, he will give
4:11
Speaker 1: you his cell number and you can text him and
4:13
Speaker 1: run out.
4:14
Speaker 2: But he would say, if.
4:16
Speaker 1: You're betting on preseason NFL football, you've got a problem, Billy.
4:21
Speaker 1: I mean, but if you got the itch and like
4:24
Speaker 1: the Brewers and Pirates, if you got like Dustin May,
4:27
Speaker 1: props going and you want to, like if you're chasing
4:29

4:33
Speaker 1: entertainment of those big guys like though like cracking those

Speaker 1: guys say that's what the real value is. There are
4:38
Speaker 1: some there are some people that try that say what
4:41
Speaker 1: do we got guys would roll there? Do we have
4:43
Speaker 1: Dustin May strikeouts in his debut or explosive plays by
4:46
Speaker 1: Michaelafleur's offense against the Carson meg over ninety seven and
4:52
Speaker 1: a half passing yards in the Hall of Fame tied
4:55
Speaker 1: with Dustin May to get six. K's pod Alami sportsbook
4:58

Speaker 1: They do up here we go NFL preseason, It is
5:06
Speaker 1: up there, Yeah, it is. It is up the category.
5:08
Speaker 1: You got to go into football to then go NFL.
5:11
Speaker 1: The main tab on the first one just goes into
5:13
Speaker 1: week one. My wife said it yesterday and I was like,
5:17
Speaker 1: I think that's uh. I think that's going to be
5:19
Speaker 1: a null for me. Now there are I have for
5:22
Speaker 1: a long time Drew loved preseason unders because everybody wants
5:28
Speaker 1: the game to end, especially this early in camp. Everybody
5:31
Speaker 1: wants to get onto the plane and get home to
5:33
Speaker 1: get on with the rest of their lives. Thirty six
5:35
Speaker 1: and a half, thirty five and a half that number
5:37
Speaker 1: if you are wondering on that one, but I will.
5:40
Speaker 1: I will be sitting this one out, mostly because all
5:44
Speaker 1: of that money is tied into futures for the Milwaukee
5:46
Speaker 1: Berus to win the division.
5:47
Speaker 2: I there you go. Money. That money is right now
5:50
Speaker 2: in Ascro.
5:51
Speaker 1: I have no desire to be sweating out the results
5:53
Speaker 1: of an NFL preseason game, but if I were in
5:55
Speaker 1: a sweat, I'd be wearing Iron Jock apparel, ironjoc dot Com,
5:58
Speaker 1: our buddy Paul Hanson has a bundle deal. Fifty seven
6:01
Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents gets you a state of the
6:04

6:09
Speaker 1: It's like the starter kit for iron Jack because once

6:20
Speaker 1: It's great if you're if you're sweating the summer. It's
6:22
Speaker 1: great if you have found a carved out a little
6:24
Speaker 1: window to cut your grass. Finally, because it's been raining
6:27
Speaker 1: a little bit, so yeah, this is the week. I
6:28
Speaker 1: hear a lot of those things rumbling along. So's I
6:31
Speaker 1: wonder how many people we talked about yesterday preemptively canceled
6:34
Speaker 1: their plans yesterday for golf or for yardwork or for blackstoning.
6:38
Speaker 2: And then it didn't rain.
6:39
Speaker 1: It was threatening a lot. It looked like it was
6:40
Speaker 1: threatening the whole day. Yeah, I could have I could
6:42
Speaker 1: have probably done something productively, you know.
6:45
Speaker 2: I did think about that a couple of weeks.
6:46
Speaker 1: It did rain around Lake Geneva and maybe around Kenosha
6:49
Speaker 1: but we didn't get any It.
6:50
Speaker 2: Wasn't a washup.
6:52
Speaker 1: No, it sounded like it was gonna be a full day,
6:53
Speaker 1: all day rain and then it was gonna be another
6:55
Speaker 1: soaker and instead, uh not necessarily sunny, but it did
6:58
Speaker 1: pop out a couple of times.
6:59
Speaker 2: And the other one is drew like that.
7:02
Speaker 1: That's the day where then you somewhat plan the preemptive
7:06
Speaker 1: movie day. Back in the day it would be a
7:07
Speaker 1: mall day. Find a way to be maybe kid Katia
7:10
Speaker 1: area and just go nuts inside instead, And you're like, wow,
7:15
Speaker 1: we just wasted one of the final seventeen days before summer.
7:17
Speaker 2: Here about that.
7:18
Speaker 1: My daughter will be happy to know that her sidewalk
7:21
Speaker 1: chalk is not washed off from yesterday.
7:23
Speaker 2: That's keoy yeah, yeah, that's cool. That is a good
7:25
Speaker 2: all right.
7:25
Speaker 1: Time for our current electric superhero the day shout out
7:28
Speaker 1: Kerl Electric. As we saw Frank and Dank, I think
7:31
Speaker 1: the at the Packers event. There was so much fun
7:36
Speaker 1: to be able to see them and to be able
7:38
Speaker 1: to hang out with our friends from Courent Electric. Knowing
7:40
Speaker 1: that you are hanging out with real Wisconsin people that
7:44
Speaker 1: are doing great work for Wisconsin nights around here and
7:47
Speaker 1: trying to help out and save you a lot of
7:49
Speaker 1: money and also save you're baking every once in a while,
7:52
Speaker 1: because when Mariah and Frank came through from Colone Electric
7:55
Speaker 1: and the superheroes in.
7:56
Speaker 2: That big blue van, roll in Drew. Oh yeah, you
7:59
Speaker 2: know you're safe.
8:00
Speaker 1: You know you're safe and sound, because sometimes you might
8:02
Speaker 1: be thinking, I need to look at this generator situation.
8:05
Speaker 1: I do not want to be one of these people
8:06
Speaker 1: as left in the dark or left with my food
8:09
Speaker 1: and medicine spoiling in my fridge. When I'm down without
8:12
Speaker 1: power for three days, like I found myself in the
8:14
Speaker 1: middle of June.
8:16
Speaker 2: It's not good.
8:16
Speaker 1: The whole system shuts down, it's hotter than all heck
8:19
Speaker 1: in the house. Luckily my family, most of my family
8:22
Speaker 1: was out of town. I was on a viking week
8:23
Speaker 1: when the power went down for three days earlier in
8:25
Speaker 1: the week or earlier in this summer, because otherwise I
8:28
Speaker 1: wouldn't need that stand by generator.
8:29
Speaker 2: The whole home stand by generator from Current Electric.
8:31
Speaker 1: It kicks in within seconds of the power going out
8:34
Speaker 1: and right now in the month of August. With a purchase,
8:36
Speaker 1: you get a free one year of monitoring on your
8:39
Speaker 1: new system. A Current Electric hole home stand by generator
8:42
Speaker 1: ready and go get an estimate and talk to the
8:46
Speaker 1: current Electric superheroes. They'll tell you exactly which one is
8:48
Speaker 1: right for your home. Call Current dot com. Well, how
8:50
Speaker 1: about how about this for a superhero? All right, I
8:53
Speaker 1: got two candidates?
8:53
Speaker 2: What do you oh? I got one?
8:55
Speaker 1: Uh. Jonathan Taylor very recently became a superhero to the
8:59
Speaker 1: rest of his family. Just six minutes ago, Drew locked
9:02
Speaker 1: up a two year, forty four million dollar extension with
9:06
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, thirty nine of which is guaranteed for
9:09
Speaker 1: the former Badger running back. A third contract for Jonathan Taylor.
9:13
Speaker 1: I remember when he was trying to get that second
9:14
Speaker 1: contract just a couple of years ago. Yeah, we're having
9:17
Speaker 1: a lot of trade conversations around Jonathan Taylor and potentially
9:21
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Instead, he stays in indian becomes
9:25
Speaker 1: once again a very very rich young man. We think
9:28
Speaker 1: alike because I was going to make a superhero. Malchi
9:30
Speaker 1: Cowo is his agent from First Round Management. Beautiful percentage
9:35
Speaker 1: and he got the deal done and pushed across and
9:38
Speaker 1: it's nice that he got a shot out. And Jonathan
9:39
Speaker 1: Taylor has been phenomenal It's like he thrilled Badgers fans
9:43
Speaker 1: and he thrills fantasy owners on a regular basis. And
9:45
Speaker 1: he's smart, I think, to get these deals done. You
9:47
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. You know what the
9:48
Speaker 1: left of a running back is. It's a nice chunk
9:51
Speaker 1: of change. It's not a long term extension, but it's
9:53
Speaker 1: long for running. It's a smart deal. It's a smart
9:55
Speaker 1: for him to get that that thing cracked off and smart.
9:58
Speaker 2: It's good for the colts as well.
9:59
Speaker 1: All right. Other superhero may be a Mets new picture.
10:02
Speaker 1: Jeffrey You on Highlights yesterday. Who he put the Hopscotch guy?
10:09
Speaker 1: My god, Yeah, he's got the strikeout selly that every
10:14
Speaker 1: little leaguer will.
10:15
Speaker 2: Be a copy if you make it that you're doing it.
10:17
Speaker 2: I love it. I mean he.
10:19
Speaker 1: Leaps in the ground. He makes Abney Rebay look reserved.
10:22
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, no kidding, I thought. I he
10:25
Speaker 1: doesn't do any ender, he doesn't just normal strikeout. He's
10:28
Speaker 1: destined for the Savannah Bananas. One day he Savannah Bananas
10:32
Speaker 1: are taking notes on him. It's the Mets, they suck.
10:36
Speaker 1: Why not entertain people? It's the entertainment business.
10:38
Speaker 2: I mean they can't bring Grimace back.
10:40
Speaker 1: I don't think No, I don't think Grimace is coming
10:43
Speaker 1: back this Year's like, you guys are awful. I'm not trying.
10:45
Speaker 1: I'm not wasting my goods. Jim Leland and Jack McKennon,
10:48
Speaker 1: the old guys, they doing a guy like that, he
10:52
Speaker 1: will he wouldn't. I mean they be throwing at everybody
10:55
Speaker 1: in the dugout. Maybe he'd be Yeah, his key card
10:58
Speaker 1: wouldn't work anymore and he wouldn't be able to get
10:59
Speaker 1: in the about you. They would leave him like, they
11:01
Speaker 1: wouldn't even let him on the bush, let alone Gar
11:03
Speaker 1: and those guys. Back in the day, I was wondering
11:05
Speaker 1: what Jonathan Lukecroy would have I met that, well, another
11:08
Speaker 1: one Luke, I mean, come on, or like, what would
11:10
Speaker 1: what would Brian McCann have done when he when.
11:13
Speaker 2: He crossed his home plate?
11:14
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh Brian mccairt wouldn't let him walk into
11:17
Speaker 1: the dugout. Gotta love that man, but he pictures don't
11:19
Speaker 1: hit any more. Billy, I'd said it again, thrown at
11:23
Speaker 1: the shout out to another media brethren friend of ours
11:27
Speaker 1: that shouted this out yesterday because Drew you've You've talked
11:30
Speaker 1: about it a number of different times. Did in our
11:33
Speaker 1: Simon on the back of a Pirates jersey throw any memories.
11:38
Speaker 2: Last night? What Ronnie Simon took?
11:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was yeah, Randal Simon, Randald Simon, who was sighted.
11:46
Speaker 2: By the Milwaukee County.
11:48
Speaker 1: They booked him, Yeah, they did. And then, uh, that's crazy.
11:52
Speaker 1: I just remember ned Yo's post games, like, hey, ned
11:55
Speaker 1: what do you think of that?
11:55
Speaker 2: Thing? Is like, I don't know.
11:56
Speaker 1: I just looked up and I saw all our wieners
11:58
Speaker 1: and a watt over there. One of the great postgame
12:02
Speaker 1: quotes of all time. All our Wieners were in a wad.
12:06
Speaker 2: Okay, when I saw Ronnie Simon lockout.
12:12
Speaker 1: If this wasn't, I'm like, ESPN should be taking the
12:16
Speaker 1: opportunity to play this highlight because if first TV he
12:19
Speaker 1: probably can't. But the former Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp got himself
12:24
Speaker 1: onto the onto the field yesterday, and I was cracking
12:26
Speaker 1: up when I saw Simon Pittsburgh Jersey back in the
12:29
Speaker 1: back in Milwaukee.
12:30
Speaker 2: Make sure it's away from the sixth.
12:32
Speaker 1: Inning from Randall Simon from CURSOW. I think I'm not mistaken.
12:36
Speaker 1: He and Andrew James curse. I remembers they were wearing that
12:38
Speaker 1: throwback too, which is so yellow and so bright, the
12:41
Speaker 1: pillbox hat and everything. I think they were that. I
12:44
Speaker 1: was there working that night. I'll never forget it. Laura
12:47
Speaker 1: Block was that would probably be a hard one to forget. Yeah,
12:50
Speaker 1: that was. That would be one that would probably be
12:52
Speaker 1: a tough one to forget. I saw the girl the
12:53
Speaker 1: next day. She had bandages, Mandy block, Mandy Block, Mandy block,
12:57
Speaker 1: Mandy block.
12:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, he showed up to work the next day.
13:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, walking around the it was hold on, let's
13:03
Speaker 1: give her a game ball? It was, it was fine,
13:08
Speaker 1: it was come on. Oh well yeah, I'm not saying
13:10
Speaker 1: that she would have been injured. I'm talking about some
13:12
Speaker 1: kind of launch it. I would have been, well, you know,
13:14
Speaker 1: you would have been seeing me with every bandage in
13:16
Speaker 1: the book. There she kind of when you were at
13:18
Speaker 1: nineteen working at this park, those girls in the in
13:20
Speaker 1: the pick and station. Somebody might have done a ten
13:21
Speaker 1: year later retrospective on it. So she didn't disappear like Bartman,
13:25
Speaker 1: but she didn't exactly lean into it and try to.
13:27
Speaker 2: Like let everybody know the lifetime out of it.
13:30
Speaker 1: Well, the internet didn't exist I was going to say,
13:32
Speaker 1: there was no social that Steve Bartman's doing nowadays. He's
13:35
Speaker 1: living in Chicago, just life. He never moved out, never
13:38
Speaker 1: took a book deal. Never they offered a chance he
13:40
Speaker 1: could have thrown out the first pitch at the World Series.
13:44
Speaker 2: He's had chances to be back back right.
13:47
Speaker 1: They did offer him to throw out the first the
13:49
Speaker 1: World Series in sixteen. They gifted him a World Series ring.
13:53
Speaker 1: Here it says here from from twenty seventeen. Wow, that's crazy.
13:58
Speaker 1: Oh that's a that's a great name that I didn't
14:00
Speaker 1: and to pade us bring up here they try to
14:01
Speaker 1: help heal the past man well, curse apartment.
14:04
Speaker 2: Well that's been exercised. That one that one's been exercise.
14:07
Speaker 2: The other.
14:08
Speaker 1: Uh. The other thing that seemingly is getting pushed off
14:11
Speaker 1: to the side in which I know that armand Sorian
14:13
Speaker 1: is probably despising over on that side of the glass, Drew,
14:17
Speaker 1: is the fact that running backs are getting paid in
14:18
Speaker 1: the NFL.
14:19
Speaker 2: Again.
14:19
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking joy that John the Taylor deal
14:22
Speaker 1: is legit, and in the reporting of it that again
14:25
Speaker 1: very nicely has that second paragraph about first round management.
14:29
Speaker 1: The Colts now have finalized the deal giving Taylor the
14:32
Speaker 1: largest third contract any running back has ever received, and
14:38
Speaker 1: the money in the NFL continues the skyrocket, right, So
14:41
Speaker 1: it's it's not surprising in that realm. But a couple
14:44
Speaker 1: of years ago, the hot trendy thing was to say, yeah,
14:47
Speaker 1: you can just draft anybody in the third or third,
14:49
Speaker 1: or fifth or sixth round. And then when the Packers
14:51
Speaker 1: signed Josh Jacobs for the same money that like Darnell
14:53
Speaker 1: Mooney went for, they're like, yeah, maybe maybe we over
14:57
Speaker 1: corrected on this deal. Maybe we're gonna give the guy
14:59
Speaker 1: the ball like Jonathan Taylor in the last two years
15:02
Speaker 1: over six hundred times. Maybe we pay for a really
15:06
Speaker 1: good one and we'll go a little marginal on the third, fourth,
15:09
Speaker 1: and fifth receiver and we'll be able to make to
15:12
Speaker 1: It's the league is very very cyclical. It always rolls
15:15
Speaker 1: around and things that we're out are now new again.
15:18
Speaker 1: But the running back room, a couple of years ago,
15:21
Speaker 1: they had to have that super special summit where they
15:23
Speaker 1: were all on a zoom call trying to figure out
15:24
Speaker 1: why their market was so depressed and how they could
15:27
Speaker 1: build it back up. I think they're building it back up.
15:30
Speaker 1: When you start seeing Jonathan Taylor lock in this deal.
15:32
Speaker 1: What b Jon Robinson just got a couple of days ago.
15:35
Speaker 1: What Jamir Gibbs is going to get in the next
15:37
Speaker 1: couple of days. Yeah, running backs are no longer crying
15:40
Speaker 1: too poor. I think the market is changing it really,
15:43
Speaker 1: You're right, at least for the special ones. I agree
15:45
Speaker 1: with that. There's no question. Well, because that's the thing.
15:47
Speaker 1: The separators are. Differators are different.
15:49
Speaker 2: Yes, quickly evolving, no question.
15:51
Speaker 1: And it's all cyclical, right, I mean it's it's the
15:53
Speaker 1: Umbrella defenses now.
15:54
Speaker 2: And like you said, so.
15:55
Speaker 1: Thirty two total touchdowns for Taylor over the last two seasons.
15:59
Speaker 2: About that you talked, But the fantasy owners loving him
16:01
Speaker 2: big time.

16:54
Speaker 1: joins us. Next you're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.

17:03
Speaker 1: And then still and see shove on the north side
17:05
Speaker 1: and hand them and now send people into uh State Fair.
17:09
Speaker 1: Happy for the evening. We're happy to be joined by
17:11
Speaker 1: our pal and our Brewers. Go to guy Hunter bomb
17:13
Speaker 1: Guard brought to us by Important mind A Good morning.
17:15
Speaker 2: Hunter, good morning. Yeah. The Brewers.
17:18
Speaker 3: The Pirates at the Brewers number for most of the
17:21
Speaker 3: season one and six in the first seven games, with
17:23
Speaker 3: the Brewers against the Pirates. But then Tuesday, Pat Murphy
17:26
Speaker 3: came in to his pregame press conference and he was
17:28
Speaker 3: wearing all black and he said, if you can't beat him,
17:30
Speaker 3: join them. And then he wore all black yesterday and
17:34
Speaker 3: they've won both games by the same.
17:36
Speaker 2: Score for it two. Maybe he's gonna wear all black today.
17:38
Speaker 1: I would think.
17:39
Speaker 2: So. I'm looking in your dress for the occasion to Hunter. Now, we're.
17:45
Speaker 1: All black now, all right? I like that showing up
17:47
Speaker 1: to the Buccos funeral. They're a good bunch and Hunter.
17:51
Speaker 1: I guess you wouldn't realize it unless you watch more
17:54
Speaker 1: of their games, and I won't. But they they lose
17:57
Speaker 1: Ahrn a really really bad quad injury. He had been
18:01
Speaker 1: a huge ad in the offseason. They paid some money
18:04
Speaker 1: in the offseason for the first time maybe ever for
18:07
Speaker 1: their offense. But they got good pitching. I mean schemes
18:10
Speaker 1: yesterday is the one that everybody knows. But the guy
18:13
Speaker 1: that's going today was also in the All Star Game,
18:15
Speaker 1: and Jones on Tuesday night, I'm pretty sure had a
18:19
Speaker 1: perfect game going into the seventh early around this year
18:22
Speaker 1: that they pulled him from. They got some really, really
18:23
Speaker 1: good young players over there, no doubt, and their offense
18:27
Speaker 1: has been one of the best in the league throughout
18:29
Speaker 1: the season.
18:30
Speaker 3: Obviously, it's opportune for the Birds to be facing them
18:33
Speaker 3: when they don't have any news and they don't have
18:35
Speaker 3: Ryan O'Hearn. But this Valdez kid who came up and
18:38
Speaker 3: just took the world by storm, including you know, took
18:41
Speaker 3: the Brewers by storm in that series at PNC Park
18:43
Speaker 3: before the All Star break. He's been great. So yeah,
18:46
Speaker 3: this has been a formidable club. And of course they
18:48
Speaker 3: added to their bullpen significantly at the trade deadline. We
18:52
Speaker 3: haven't seen Weaver yet, maybe we do today, we'll see
18:55
Speaker 3: what the I'm sure he's he's you know, being saved
18:58
Speaker 3: for a situation where they're leading. But yeah, they're a
19:01
Speaker 3: formidable bunch. But again you look at their record, they're
19:04
Speaker 3: still under five hundred and and you know for them
19:07
Speaker 3: to be you know, they paid in the off season
19:09
Speaker 3: then for to be as much as buyers as they were,
19:12
Speaker 3: not that they made a blockbuster, but they still went
19:14
Speaker 3: out and Luke Weaver was probably the best reliever on
19:16
Speaker 3: the market and they went out and got him. So
19:19
Speaker 3: it'd be good, you know, it'd be nice for the
19:20
Speaker 3: Brewers to say, Okay, yep, we saw what you did,
19:22
Speaker 3: and now we're going to beat you three out of
19:23
Speaker 3: four after the trade deadline, and we'll see what Dustin
19:27
Speaker 3: May does today, because boy, he the bar is very
19:31
Speaker 3: low so far as what a trade deadline acquisition can do.
19:34
Speaker 3: In his first start with the new team, Casey Maiz
19:37
Speaker 3: three and two thirds eight runs are allowed, Freddy Peralta
19:41
Speaker 3: three and two thirds seven runs allowed, and Scooble and
19:44
Speaker 3: Henderson pitched on the same night the other night and
19:46
Speaker 3: basically at the same line, so you're you're I think
19:49
Speaker 3: Henderson might have had a little better of a line.
19:52
Speaker 3: So you know, we'll see what Dustin May does today.
19:55
Speaker 3: He's the latest trade deadline acquisition to take the mound,
19:58
Speaker 3: and hopefully he is doing what he did against the
20:01
Speaker 3: Brewers back on May twenty seven.
20:03
Speaker 1: Hunter Bomguart joining us. Hunter is Christian Yelich now hot?
20:08
Speaker 1: He obviously needs a little put it in, a little
20:10
Speaker 1: bit more work. But is he now hot because he
20:12
Speaker 1: is that narrative shut down since Murph told people to
20:15
Speaker 1: cheer for him and he came through last night.
20:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously he'll he'll have to do it consistently,
20:21
Speaker 3: I think for people to believe that it's that it's
20:24
Speaker 3: in the right direction. But last night it looked a
20:26
Speaker 3: lot more like the Christian Yelich we know and love.
20:28
Speaker 2: Right.
20:29
Speaker 3: He not only is you know, with that huge double,
20:32
Speaker 3: but also the stolen base advancing on the wild pit
20:35
Speaker 3: Like that's just the stuff that Christian Yelich does. He's
20:37
Speaker 3: so such a thread on the bass paths, even at
20:39
Speaker 3: his age, and he's just so good at simply running
20:42
Speaker 3: the bases and it sounds so simple, but he's one
20:44
Speaker 3: of the best to add it. And that was really
20:46
Speaker 3: cool last night. I mean, the ovation got someone of
20:49
Speaker 3: an ovation on that first first at bat, but that
20:52
Speaker 3: second at back he comes up with tu on the
20:54
Speaker 3: crowd goes pretty wild just as he comes to the plate,
20:59
Speaker 3: does significant more you know, energized ovation as he comes
21:03
Speaker 3: to the plate, and then obviously after the double they
21:05
Speaker 3: give him the standing go it's and and you know,
21:07
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy said he noticed it. Other guys noticed it,
21:10
Speaker 3: and it's it's in Yelly himself noticed it. So that
21:13
Speaker 3: was that was I think kind of the point of
21:15
Speaker 3: what Pat Murphy said the other night of wanting to
21:18
Speaker 3: get behind him and sometimes players can feel that and
21:21
Speaker 3: feed off that energy, and he did with that double,
21:24
Speaker 3: had a single later in the game as well. You know,
21:27
Speaker 3: that was his first multi hit game since July twenty second,
21:29
Speaker 3: so it's been a while.
21:30
Speaker 2: So it's it's almost a couple.
21:32
Speaker 3: Of weeks since he had done that, So it's just
21:34
Speaker 3: been a rough couple of months, no doubt.
21:36
Speaker 2: He admits it. Murphy admits it. Everybody admits it.
21:38
Speaker 3: But there's still a couple of months and really maybe
21:41
Speaker 3: the most important part of the season coming up really
21:44
Speaker 3: and into October, and if he can get hot for
21:47
Speaker 3: this stretch and into October, June and July are going
21:50
Speaker 3: to be a thing of the way pass Well.
21:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. It's just amazing that Pat Murphy always seems
21:55
Speaker 1: to push the right button, whether it's with the players,
21:57
Speaker 1: whether it's with us the fans in this moment, and
22:00
Speaker 1: he knew that that's what Yelly needed in that moment.
22:02
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll never know if he would have
22:04
Speaker 1: got the double without those type of ovations, but it's
22:07
Speaker 1: sure hard to not believe that one doesn't have something
22:10
Speaker 1: to do with the other when he gets that lift
22:12
Speaker 1: and Patches has a knack for knowing when to be
22:14
Speaker 1: hard on a guy, when to be you know, soft
22:16
Speaker 1: on a guy, when to push the button here and there.
22:18
Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing.
22:20
Speaker 2: It is. He's very good at it. I mean, he
22:23
Speaker 2: he is.
22:24
Speaker 3: You know, he talked yesterday, he was asked about Grant
22:27
Speaker 3: Anderson being optioned and if that was a tough conversation,
22:29
Speaker 3: because obviously Anderson has been a key to that bullpen.
22:32
Speaker 3: It's not like he's been in a high, high leverage role,
22:34
Speaker 3: but he's had some big outs this year, and and
22:37
Speaker 3: he said, you know, it's they're all critical conversations. You know,
22:40
Speaker 3: I don't know, He's like, I don't know if they're
22:41
Speaker 3: tough conversations, but they're critical conversations. You think about those
22:44
Speaker 3: types of conversations that he's had with these players, whether
22:48
Speaker 3: you know this just this year, right, Joey Ortiz, he's
22:51
Speaker 3: talked to about how he talked to Joy Ortiz a
22:53
Speaker 3: couple of times, once when Pratt was extended and then
22:56
Speaker 3: another time when Pratt was called up, and I'm sure
22:58
Speaker 3: times in between as well.
22:59
Speaker 2: He's had conversations with Price.
23:01
Speaker 3: He's obviously had the conversation with Yelich this week about
23:04
Speaker 3: dropping him down in the order. And Yelich said last night, Hey,
23:07
Speaker 3: I just want the team to win, and whatever Murph
23:09
Speaker 3: thinks for the club to win, that's that's what I'm
23:11
Speaker 3: going to do. And so and so I think Murphy's
23:15
Speaker 3: really good and having those types of conversations. I think
23:18
Speaker 3: that's a key to their success right now. And like
23:21
Speaker 3: you said, he just he just he's seen a lot
23:24
Speaker 3: of baseball. He's been around a lot of baseball, and
23:27
Speaker 3: I got to think that's that that is all kind
23:29
Speaker 3: of being combined in his mind when he's going through
23:32
Speaker 3: these different parts of a Major League baseball season, and
23:35
Speaker 3: he boy, he's good at pushing the right buttons and
23:38
Speaker 3: he's he's good at winning ball games as well.
23:40
Speaker 2: And what's been good for the Brewers.
23:42
Speaker 1: We've talked about their pitching lab quite often and it's
23:45
Speaker 1: one that gets a lot of buzz around nationally. The
23:49
Speaker 1: count Just Baseball Media put out NL starters with the
23:52
Speaker 1: highest k rate this year with a minimum of fifty
23:54
Speaker 1: innings pitched. Number one, Jacob Mezerowski, number two, Logan Henderson,
23:58
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler won a side is right there in the
24:01
Speaker 1: middle at number three, and then followed up by Kyle Harrison.
24:06
Speaker 1: Feels like the Brewers social media account, the admin might
24:09
Speaker 1: be feeling themselves a little bit. Hunter, I saw the
24:12
Speaker 1: Untouchable tweet with Kyle with Logan Henderson's graphic the other day.
24:18
Speaker 1: What's the vibe that you've gotten over the last couple
24:20
Speaker 1: of days, because it did feel like there had to
24:22
Speaker 1: be a putting to bed the deadline and moving the
24:26
Speaker 1: on with it. Does that all start with May Day
24:30
Speaker 1: officially here today or do you think that really, you know,
24:33
Speaker 1: happened once as Murph did put the black on and
24:36
Speaker 1: and kind of put all of that to bed.
24:37
Speaker 2: On Monday night. Yeah, I think, you know.
24:40
Speaker 3: Murph did talk to the team Monday night after the
24:42
Speaker 3: deadline and talked about, you know, how they need to
24:44
Speaker 3: welcome the new guys in. I think I think you know.
24:48
Speaker 3: And they did lose that game on Monday night. It
24:50
Speaker 3: looked last Blackluster, although they did make that comeback and
24:53
Speaker 3: it fell just short.
24:54
Speaker 2: Then the last two nights have looked more like Brewer's Baseball.
24:56
Speaker 3: I mean, those that that game on Monday night wasn't
24:59
Speaker 3: as much, you know, just some whether it's a big
25:01
Speaker 3: s running mistake or other things they've had. Just in
25:03
Speaker 3: the last month or so, they've had some of those
25:04
Speaker 3: games where it's just been uncharacteristic things that they usually
25:07
Speaker 3: do really well better than other teams. They weren't doing
25:10
Speaker 3: well at times, but the last two nights have obviously
25:13
Speaker 3: looked better. You've had the production from Contraras and some
25:15
Speaker 3: of these other guys. But I think it's and Murph
25:17
Speaker 3: said this yesterday. He's like, he's like it bringing in guy,
25:21
Speaker 3: especially when you have such a young staff pitching staff,
25:24
Speaker 3: and you bring in guys who have experience like Romero,
25:27
Speaker 3: like May, like Sensatela, and these guys come in and
25:31
Speaker 3: that he's like that can give a boost to the clubhouse.
25:33
Speaker 3: And you guys heard Kyle Harrison talk about it yesterday
25:35
Speaker 3: of how it's nice to have someone like that, especially
25:38
Speaker 3: with you know, Woodrift's gonna have surgery here and he's
25:40
Speaker 3: not around the team at the moment, so you you
25:42
Speaker 3: literally like don't have that veteran starter until Dustin May
25:46
Speaker 3: got in there just to bounce things off of. I mean,
25:48
Speaker 3: that's what Kyle Harrison told me the other day of
25:50
Speaker 3: just like it's nice just to have a guy to
25:53
Speaker 3: bounce things. Obviously, these guys are watching each other's bullpens
25:56
Speaker 3: and talking to each other about different things. But it's
25:59
Speaker 3: different for a guy who's been there, done that with
26:02
Speaker 3: as much success and longevity as Dustin Mayhatt. So I
26:05
Speaker 3: think getting those guys at the you know, if they
26:08
Speaker 3: if they wouldn't have made those moves and got those
26:11
Speaker 3: guys in, I think maybe it would be a different story.
26:13
Speaker 3: But I think the team enjoys having those guys, and
26:16
Speaker 3: I think it just took took a little time. I mean,
26:19
Speaker 3: it just took a little time to get over the
26:20
Speaker 3: schoobl thing. I mean it just to be honest, I
26:23
Speaker 3: think it just did. I think this team was as
26:25
Speaker 3: as much, you know, Yelich talked about over the weekend,
26:27
Speaker 3: like we're not usually in on these guys, and we're
26:29
Speaker 3: really in on this guy this year. Like I think
26:31
Speaker 3: they had they and they did have a realistic shot
26:34
Speaker 3: at getting him, and I think that the team even
26:37
Speaker 3: believed that, but they didn't and now they got to
26:39
Speaker 3: turn it around. It's it's great to see the last
26:41
Speaker 3: couple of wins because after Monday night, I'm like, oh,
26:44
Speaker 3: this could go this could go somewhere in the wrong
26:47
Speaker 3: direction if if this lingers, But it seems Pat Murphy's done.
26:51
Speaker 3: What he's needed to do, and since Attela has been
26:53
Speaker 3: fantastic in his two outings, getting that big out last
26:56
Speaker 3: night with the tying run of the plate, and you
26:58
Speaker 3: can already see how valuable that extra arm is not
27:02
Speaker 3: having to go to Ashby all the time in those
27:04
Speaker 3: situations as you're kind of seventh inning guy. And that's
27:07
Speaker 3: as much as we talked about a starter at the deadline,
27:10
Speaker 3: we kind of overlooked at times the need for reliever
27:12
Speaker 3: and sent to tell it could be that big reliever
27:15
Speaker 3: down the stretch.
27:15
Speaker 1: Absolutely talking to Hunter bomb Guard here on the huddle.
27:18
Speaker 1: All right, Hunter, I'm an ideas man.
27:20
Speaker 2: Let's go. We pushed all in with the pocket pancake.
27:23
Speaker 1: I'm thinking next time Kyle Harrison starts at the home ballpark,
27:26
Speaker 1: we got pickle shots, pickle juice shots or maybe vodka
27:31
Speaker 1: pickle juice or something. Arm And I love that. I
27:33
Speaker 1: will defer to Armon because he's our pickle expert. Yeah
27:36
Speaker 1: there's some fireball and pickle, but yeah, hot cinnamon, hot
27:39
Speaker 1: cinnamon pickle martini. Originally, well, what was it like, Hunter?
27:46
Speaker 1: I mean, I know people in the stands were a
27:47
Speaker 1: little bit like whoa how nervous? Like what was it
27:50
Speaker 1: like in the press box when he went out to
27:53
Speaker 1: warm up for the sixth and said bring out the trainers.
27:58
Speaker 2: It was like whoa.
27:59
Speaker 3: Also in the press box, I think too, I think
28:01
Speaker 3: it was a hole because it was like, oh no,
28:03
Speaker 3: like that he had just said, looks so good. And
28:05
Speaker 3: coming off the mound of the fifth inning, I noticed
28:07
Speaker 3: him grimacing a little bit, and I'm like, I wonder
28:09
Speaker 3: if that's exhaustion.
28:11
Speaker 2: I wonder, you know, because he's just coming back.
28:12
Speaker 3: I wonder if he's just kind of like, oh man,
28:15
Speaker 3: I really exerted myself in that fifth inning to get
28:17
Speaker 3: those strikeouts, like that's what I was obviously hoping for.
28:19
Speaker 3: And then when he comes out and throws a couple
28:21
Speaker 3: of pitches and then the trainer comes out, it's like,
28:23
Speaker 3: oh no.
28:23
Speaker 2: And then I saw I wasn't able to get the
28:27
Speaker 2: get back.
28:27
Speaker 3: On the TV copy to see it, but someone said
28:29
Speaker 3: that he mouthed cramp, and then I was like, Okay,
28:32
Speaker 3: that's that's a good sign if he did do that.
28:35
Speaker 3: And then obviously we get the update that he had
28:37
Speaker 3: cramping in both caps and he's like, that's the first
28:39
Speaker 3: time really ave had a full body cramp and this
28:41
Speaker 3: has been a year of the cramp for the Brewers,
28:44
Speaker 3: and Pat Murphy said after the game, like, hey, we
28:46
Speaker 3: have a great dietician, but well, obviously want to want
28:49
Speaker 3: to look at this and see what's going on here,
28:52
Speaker 3: because we don't want to have this. But he was
28:54
Speaker 3: trying to between the yeah, fifth and sixth innings, you know,
28:57
Speaker 3: take the pickle shot and the hot cinnamon stuff and
28:59
Speaker 3: whatever they got in there, the magic elixirs to try
29:02
Speaker 3: to get him to stop cramping. But he's like, yeah,
29:05
Speaker 3: my body was telling me no after that fifth inning.
29:07
Speaker 3: So you he was frustrated because he's like he knew
29:10
Speaker 3: how good he was last night, you know, when you're
29:12
Speaker 3: rolling as a pitcher like that, and he's like, my
29:14
Speaker 3: pitch count was low and he could see, you know,
29:17
Speaker 3: as much as Brews wanted to obviously be careful with
29:19
Speaker 3: him last night, they also you know, they were going
29:22
Speaker 3: to a lot of roll in that sixth inning and
29:24
Speaker 3: see what happened, and so and who knows, maybe he
29:27
Speaker 3: ties Corbyn Burns as record for the most consecutive strikeouts
29:30
Speaker 3: and Brew's history at ten Corbyn did against the Cubs
29:33
Speaker 3: back in the day.
29:34
Speaker 2: And so now Harrison with eight his second most.
29:37
Speaker 3: But yeah, so it's look, it's a very big sigh
29:39
Speaker 3: of relief because at this point in the season you
29:42
Speaker 3: can't have Kyle Harrison come back and leave again. So
29:45
Speaker 3: and you saw how effective he was and so boy,
29:49
Speaker 3: it just it. But seeing him pitch last night at
29:51
Speaker 3: Cramps aside, you remember like, oh, yeah, this is why
29:54
Speaker 3: Miz and Harrison in a one two punches.
29:57
Speaker 2: Look look out.
29:58
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned Senzatela. Drew and I have big fans
30:01
Speaker 1: of that acquisition. We had had spotlighted that after the
30:04
Speaker 1: Rocky series, like that's an arm you get out of
30:06
Speaker 1: Corsfield and there could be some real stuff there. Jojo
30:08
Speaker 1: Romero I didn't know was going to be acquirable from
30:12
Speaker 1: Saint Louis and also hand raised and Aaron didn't realize
30:15
Speaker 1: he had have his appendix out during the All Star breaks.
30:17
Speaker 1: So you guys got to hear from both of those
30:20
Speaker 1: over the last thirty six hours. Both extremely enthused to
30:23
Speaker 1: be here. But I liked what Romero was talking about
30:27
Speaker 1: of how good the arm feels. That might be an
30:30
Speaker 1: unintended positive of that issue and the acquisition of you
30:34
Speaker 1: get a legit fresh arm coming in for the next
30:37
Speaker 1: five to six weeks. That's that's really true. And you know, it's.
30:44
Speaker 3: Kind of heard me talk about that with Kyle Harrison
30:46
Speaker 3: a little bit too, like just taking the extra time
30:48
Speaker 3: to get these guys right for the stretch run. And
30:51
Speaker 3: the Brewers, as we've talked about, are being more cognizant
30:54
Speaker 3: of that this year than ever, making sure their guys
30:57
Speaker 3: are you ready for the long run. Romero is a
31:00
Speaker 3: different story because he obviously has been has an injury,
31:03
Speaker 3: so he's not been able to pitch. It's not like
31:05
Speaker 3: they're resting him, and he's been with a different organization.
31:07
Speaker 3: So that's a completely different situation than say Kyle Harrison
31:10
Speaker 3: or Jacob miss Arowski and trying to save these innings.
31:13
Speaker 3: But it is, it is, it's so, it's so it's
31:17
Speaker 3: such a such a boon when you can have guys
31:20
Speaker 3: that don't you know, that don't pitch for a month
31:23
Speaker 3: and a season and still survive without him, right, the
31:26
Speaker 3: Brewers did survive. They had a decent month of the
31:28
Speaker 3: five or six games over five hundred and July, mostly
31:30
Speaker 3: without Kyle Harrison, somewhat without Jacob Misserowski, uh and so,
31:35
Speaker 3: and then with Romero, hopefully they can survive here the
31:37
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks still win ball games, and then
31:39
Speaker 3: add another veteran to that road, to that to that bullpen,
31:43
Speaker 3: and have another arm that you can you can be
31:45
Speaker 3: ready with at any time. So I think it is
31:49
Speaker 3: very much a positive and just a like, hey, just
31:52
Speaker 3: take a couple of weeks. You know, they don't need
31:54
Speaker 3: him right at this moment, since it Tela can kind
31:56
Speaker 3: of fill that role right now, not that Romero is
31:58
Speaker 3: going to come in and fill the sense of tele role,
32:00
Speaker 3: but they can play off each other and then down
32:02
Speaker 3: the stretch you have your your bullpen at full strength.
32:06
Speaker 3: So they're being there, They're gonna be cautious with him.
32:08
Speaker 3: I would think they're gonna be smart with him, just
32:10
Speaker 3: like they are all their other guys and doing their
32:13
Speaker 3: due diligence as far as waiting it out. Uh, but boy, yeah,
32:16
Speaker 3: that fresh arm could be key down the stretch.
32:19
Speaker 2: Huge, huge.
32:19
Speaker 1: Well let's see if Dustin Mats and I can reverse
32:22
Speaker 1: the trend of the the negative bounce that I feel
32:25
Speaker 1: like these hired guns. I feel like there's more pressure
32:27
Speaker 1: when you're a hired gun now after the trade deadline,
32:30
Speaker 1: and it manifests itself. The first couple starts, so hopefully
32:33
Speaker 1: Hunter Dustin may can be the the exception to that
32:36
Speaker 1: role tonight.
32:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch.
32:39
Speaker 3: He's a fiery fella, as as he himself has described
32:44
Speaker 3: and Kyle Harrison, his teammate, described and so I think
32:47
Speaker 3: this is a guy who's gonna who's gonna have some
32:50
Speaker 3: emotion out there, which we love to see. And and
32:52
Speaker 3: Harrison compared him to Miss. We see Miss's emotion and
32:55
Speaker 3: it's it's fun to have that type of guy out there.
32:57
Speaker 3: Uh So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it, just what
33:00
Speaker 3: he can do working with William Contreras. You know, he
33:02
Speaker 3: was really excited when we talked to him the other
33:04
Speaker 3: day of like He's like, I cannot wait to see
33:07
Speaker 3: what the pitching coaches and everybody has in store for
33:10
Speaker 3: me here and how I can get better. So I
33:12
Speaker 3: you know, how can't you be if you're a pitcher
33:14
Speaker 3: coming into the Birds organization, right, So he was really
33:17
Speaker 3: excited to come over and we'll see it all starts today.
33:19
Speaker 3: Is there any celebration William Canturras left in the bag
33:23
Speaker 3: yesterday on that home run or did he did he
33:26
Speaker 3: let everything out on that run around? The basis, Yeah,
33:29
Speaker 3: he hung up the phone, he crowned himself.
33:32
Speaker 2: No, it's a bullpen night.
33:37
Speaker 3: Every ninety feet and he does you know, he does
33:39
Speaker 3: the crown and he does that bullpen thing mostly every time.
33:41
Speaker 3: But he took out the phone last night. It seemed
33:44
Speaker 3: like there was just a little more of an edge
33:45
Speaker 3: to that. It seems a little bit the last couple
33:48
Speaker 3: of nights, specifically last night, there's a little more edge
33:50
Speaker 3: to that team that I think Pat Murphy's gonna like.
33:53
Speaker 3: I think he's been looking for that edge a little bit.
33:56
Speaker 3: And I wonder if the trade deadline has that effect
33:59
Speaker 3: this year, because again, they've been kind of the front runner.
34:03
Speaker 3: You know, we've heard from Murph, we've heard from maybe
34:06
Speaker 3: not as much Murph. Murf still likes to play the underdog,
34:09
Speaker 3: but there's you know, players, and there's been talk this
34:13
Speaker 3: year of like, yeah, we're not sneaking up on anybody, right,
34:15
Speaker 3: we were going for a four straight division title, where
34:17
Speaker 3: we had the best dargon baseball last year, everything like that.
34:20
Speaker 3: But after the deadline, it kind of puts you back
34:22
Speaker 3: into that underdog role a little bit. And I wonder
34:25
Speaker 3: if that is where this team thrives and I wonder
34:28
Speaker 3: if that helps them down the stretch.
34:30
Speaker 2: I mean, they do thrive in that.
34:31
Speaker 3: We've seen that over the last couple of years, and
34:33
Speaker 3: I wonder if that edge comes back a little bit, like, yeah,
34:37
Speaker 3: you know, this private team, we haven't been able to
34:39
Speaker 3: beat that.
34:39
Speaker 2: Now we've beat him a couple of times in a row.
34:41
Speaker 3: Contrari's admiring the home run, You know, you could just
34:44
Speaker 3: kind of feel that a little more of that edge,
34:46
Speaker 3: McGill letting out a couple of big screams when he
34:49
Speaker 3: was able to get out of that ninth inning and
34:51
Speaker 3: put one hundred miles an hour right down the middle,
34:54
Speaker 3: right by right by the batter to end the game.
34:56
Speaker 3: So I wonder just kind of watch for that that
34:58
Speaker 3: there might be a little more edge here. And I
35:00
Speaker 3: think that could be feeding off of what happened over
35:03
Speaker 3: the weekend and specifically Saturday night.
35:04
Speaker 1: I mean, Contrera's hit Drew Yelich with a like legit
35:08
Speaker 1: old school five star on the chest after he finished
35:11
Speaker 1: that home run, like right smagged. I thought he was
35:13
Speaker 1: gonna leave all prints like that was there was a
35:16
Speaker 1: little bit more edge, and it felt like they were
35:18
Speaker 1: taking it all personal. Listen, Mike McCarthy one time said,
35:21
Speaker 1: where nobody's underdog writing struck maybe where everybody's under dog,
35:25
Speaker 1: Where everybody's underdog and we're taking their natural habits like
35:28
Speaker 1: that one.
35:29
Speaker 2: That's good stuff, that's good.
35:31
Speaker 1: Oh is there anything else we need to know other
35:32
Speaker 1: than the fact that you're brought to us by import
35:34
Speaker 1: minded Amen.
35:36
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I'm trying to let's see we got this weekend?
35:40
Speaker 3: You got drowing on Friday, gas or on Saturday, and
35:43
Speaker 3: then miss back on the mounds Sunday in the finale.
35:45
Speaker 1: How many people have been trying to get your bar
35:47
Speaker 1: dice off of you for Saturday night?
35:49
Speaker 3: Oh, we have not had any requests officially filed yet,
35:53
Speaker 3: but we will see if any requests to come in
35:56
Speaker 3: by because that's Saturday night.
35:58
Speaker 2: Right, we got the dice.
36:01
Speaker 1: I'll start that BA the reserve Fund, I'll find that one.
36:04
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.
36:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, stay, we might we might have to see we
36:08
Speaker 3: got and then uh, Sunday. I believe Sunday is Sesame
36:11
Speaker 3: Street day and you combine that with a mis start
36:13
Speaker 3: and every kid should be there and kids run the bases.
36:16
Speaker 2: Like Milwaukee's baseball tonight tonight following.

37:09
Speaker 1: National Championship Game a year ago and he goes up
37:12
Speaker 1: against Kenny Thickett.
37:13
Speaker 2: It feels like a barn Burner.
37:15
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good memes though out here, where
37:17
Speaker 1: you feel like you're about to get that beautiful present
37:20
Speaker 1: that you've waited for all Christmas, and then you open
37:22
Speaker 1: it and it socks. Like that's what happens when you
37:25
Speaker 1: think it's professional football and the NFL's back.
37:29
Speaker 2: But it's preseason, really, but it's preseason. They were so close.
37:33
Speaker 2: We just like drew as soon as we can.
37:35
Speaker 1: Wayne was talking about this when we were hanging out
37:37
Speaker 1: with all of our friends from Thailand and the iHeartMedia
37:39
Speaker 1: Complex and all of our sponsor friends for the Packers
37:42

37:46
Speaker 1: camp where you get to the after like the second
37:48
Speaker 1: drive of the first preseason game, like, all right, will
37:51
Speaker 1: this stuff ever end? That's when we need Tom hog
37:53

Speaker 1: well this preseason first pitch which one ten PM? I
38:02

Speaker 1: There was a guy with a thousand yard stare baseball
38:07
Speaker 1: riter from the Arizona Republic named Don Ketchem and it
38:10
Speaker 1: was like the middle of a brutal four hour spring
38:12
Speaker 1: training game pre pitch clock. Oh god, oh god, is
38:16
Speaker 1: there anything worse? Someone said, is there anything worse than
38:18

Speaker 1: Have you guys been following the Brandon Ayuk's saga that's
39:02
Speaker 1: happened with the San Francisco forty nine ers And I

39:06
Speaker 1: episodes and I couldn't really get in he is he has.

Speaker 1: Commander signed signed four time Pro bowler and Super Bowl
39:23

Speaker 1: Well, for the last eight months, Brandon Ayuk has been
39:32
Speaker 1: on a social media campaign talking about his return. Tour
39:35
Speaker 1: starts and tickets are available at the Washington Commander's website.
39:39
Speaker 1: H He is still allowed unable to play in the
39:41
Speaker 1: NFL as he is on the left team and the
39:45
Speaker 1: reserved non retired list. He has to have a reinstatement
39:49
Speaker 1: letter signed by the NFL, and now he doesn't have
39:51
Speaker 1: a team to go to because the Commanders signed their
39:53
Speaker 1: other wide receiver, Brandon Ayuk. Enjoy whatever the hell you're
39:57
