Speaker 2: as a pro, seven and two hold my man turned
1:02
Speaker 2: My man turned a turned a pro like a month ago.
1:06
Speaker 2: I think it's like his thirty something, twenty fourth day
1:09
Speaker 2: as a pro. He just won a million and a
1:11
Speaker 2: half bucks at twenty one years old, beat Scottie Scheffler
1:15

1:25
Speaker 2: that's a life changing deal. Twenty one years old. My
1:28
Speaker 2: man just dominates and beats the best player in the world.
1:31
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a weekend. That's pretty cool.
1:33
Speaker 3: That's cracious game ball for me to. I saw a
1:36
Speaker 3: lot of flag football. How about a seven or two
1:40
Speaker 3: ESPN and I.
1:41
Speaker 2: Saw the high school girls that won whatever the national
1:45
Speaker 2: championship grad in Indianapolis.
1:47
Speaker 3: The flag footballers this weekend. A little game ball for
1:50
Speaker 3: them about that was kind of cool.
1:52
Speaker 1: How about a game ball to Andrew Jones Carlos Jackson
1:55
Speaker 1: to hold a quick trigger though?
1:57
Speaker 2: Yes, great, three.
1:58
Speaker 1: New Hall of famers taking their place in the Hall
2:00
Speaker 1: of Fame, along with the Meritorious Service to Baseball Writing Award,
2:04
Speaker 1: which went to Paul Hoyins of the Cleveland plain dealer.
2:08
Speaker 2: A long time Indian scribe.
2:11
Speaker 1: Graduate of Marquette University. Yes, all right, ring out Ohio.
2:15
Speaker 1: Another title for Hose is phenomenal. He's one of the greats.
2:17
Speaker 1: I love, I love hanging out with Hoynsey. He deserves it.
2:21
Speaker 1: He has been through so much covering bad Cleveland. I
2:24
Speaker 1: was gonna say even when they were good, he's he
2:27
Speaker 1: had great stories and he's one of the all timers.
2:30
Speaker 2: That's all. He goes in as well lives it. Joe
2:32
Speaker 2: Buck got the award from the Hall of Fame this
2:35
Speaker 2: past week, award. He did want to let everybody know
2:37
Speaker 2: that he's not in the Hall of Fame. He got
2:39
Speaker 2: an award from the Hall of Fame. Joe Buck trying
2:41
Speaker 2: to be modest in this book, Brother, you're in the
2:42
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame called twenty four World Series. I guess
2:45
Speaker 2: that kind of they just stack up on us. Buck
2:47
Speaker 2: is going to call the Super Bowl this year. Him
2:49
Speaker 2: and Akman are going to get the ESPN one. But
2:52
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you blink and you realize he
2:54
Speaker 2: called almost a half our quarter century of world series
2:57
Speaker 2: and he's what mid fifties right now. That's a crazy
3:02
Speaker 2: professional life. He had very very early on thrust into
3:05
Speaker 2: the main spotlight there on Fox.
3:07
Speaker 3: Yes, and some people remember he is a sprite, young
3:09
Speaker 3: twenty four year old on the call. When Farv jumped
3:13
Speaker 3: into the Countie Stadium's end zone to finish that thing
3:16
Speaker 3: off was one of his early games in his early years.
3:18
Speaker 3: So he's been doing it for a while and doing
3:20
Speaker 3: it great for a long time.
3:22
Speaker 2: So pretty awesome.
3:23
Speaker 3: And yeah, Andrew Jones one of my favorite players growing up.
3:26
Speaker 3: I think a lot of a lot of kids loved
3:28
Speaker 3: Andre Jones. He was one of those guys that was
3:31
Speaker 3: just a fun start to cheer. Four Beltron as well.
3:34
Speaker 3: And then Kent din so two out of three really
3:37
Speaker 3: good guys going in, So congrats to Jones at Baltross.
3:40
Speaker 1: Jones didn't he hit hit a home run the World
3:42
Speaker 1: Series when he was like nineteen or twenty.
3:44
Speaker 3: Something, really young, and he was kind of like the
3:46
Speaker 3: next And yeah, and Jeff Kenn, I want to say,
3:49
Speaker 3: I want to give credit to the writers because Jeff
3:51
Speaker 3: Kent has proved that you don't have to be like
3:54
Speaker 3: loved by the writers to get into the Hall of Fame.
3:55
Speaker 3: They always make they always throw that accusation on you guys,
3:58
Speaker 3: I know Jeff Kent had contra, but he was still
4:01
Speaker 3: voting and cares.
4:02
Speaker 1: Most guys, you know, most guys didn't deal with him
4:05
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, So yeah, you're right, you don't
4:09
Speaker 1: have to be a good guy now. In terms of
4:11
Speaker 1: like future Hall of Famers, Clayton Kershaw, he's retired, he's
4:16
Speaker 1: in HM for.
4:17
Speaker 2: S Erlander, gonna finish up his career. He's Erlander.
4:20
Speaker 1: Like the guys that are regarded as bona fide current
4:24
Speaker 1: players who will be in the Hall of Fame, Verlander,
4:26
Speaker 1: Max Schurzer.
4:28
Speaker 2: Pool is in next year. I believe. I believe next
4:31
Speaker 2: year is eligible for him.
4:32
Speaker 1: Trout, Freddy Freeman, Mookie Betts, Aaron Judge, Jose Altuve, Stanton
4:40
Speaker 1: Nolan Aernatto is Stanton gonna get in and show Tony
4:43
Speaker 1: Stanton's in the mix.
4:44
Speaker 2: His numbers are gonna, I mean, his home run numbers
4:46
Speaker 2: are going to be hard to to over. I think,
4:49
Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the other ones that we've had. Again,
4:51
Speaker 2: he's kind of.
4:52
Speaker 1: With injury though, so he's kind of he might be
4:54
Speaker 1: a little short, but.
4:57
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting that one that I think Arnatto
4:59
Speaker 3: might be injury thing too.
5:00
Speaker 2: Bryce, Harper's got all of the defensive numbers that are
5:04
Speaker 2: going to be hard to overlook.
5:06
Speaker 1: Harper, Chris Paul Goldschmidt are kind of in the pipeline
5:09
Speaker 1: if they can keep it going for a little bit.
5:11
Speaker 3: How about some of those guys from the World Series
5:14
Speaker 3: Cubs team that I think everyone thought would be all future.
5:18
Speaker 3: The only one that might make it is the outside
5:20
Speaker 3: outside chance of Schwarber, who is making a late push
5:22
Speaker 3: in his career for it. I think I never would
5:25
Speaker 3: have said this. Yeah, still don't think he'll make it,
5:28
Speaker 3: but it's possible. Now.
5:30
Speaker 2: Don't think Rizzo is going to make it. Well at
5:32
Speaker 2: the at the moment though when they first came up,
5:35
Speaker 2: you definitely had Chris Bryant.
5:37
Speaker 3: It looks like a perennial, you know, all star. This
5:40
Speaker 3: had multiple times.
5:41
Speaker 2: And he was still getting paid by the team that
5:42
Speaker 2: was at American Family Field this weekend.
5:44
Speaker 1: There was a time when I thought Corbyn Burns was
5:46
Speaker 1: on track close.
5:47
Speaker 2: Yes he was. I had a what about a kick
5:52
Speaker 2: to the balls moment? Now, this one might not be
5:54
Speaker 2: great to put out here for these guys today. We
5:57
Speaker 2: were driving back on Thursday from a event in Illinois
6:02
Speaker 2: from a Telly a funeral in Illinois and listening to
6:06
Speaker 2: some of their local sports station. They were airing a
6:09
Speaker 2: game from the twenty sixteen playoff run, and all of
6:12
Speaker 2: a sudden, Wilson Contreras came up with a big RBI double.
6:15
Speaker 2: She goes, wait, what Contreras is that? Wilson Let's go
6:19
Speaker 2: he played for the Cups. Yeah. Yeah, he was kind
6:23
Speaker 2: of a notable player. In no way, I thought he
6:26
Speaker 2: always played for the Cardinals. Now, Wilson. Wilson Contreras apparently
6:30
Speaker 2: old enough that he was getting confused with my wife
6:33
Speaker 2: and my mother in law for YadA yor Molina. So
6:36
Speaker 2: that might also be a kick to the balls. Do
6:37
Speaker 2: Wilson Contreras that he looks that old? But I was
6:42
Speaker 2: thinking that more importantly, it would be an opportunity for
6:45
Speaker 2: Arman to be able to square YACHTI up one time. Well.
6:48
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know they want to make Yadi first
6:50
Speaker 3: ball Hall of Famer.
6:51
Speaker 2: That's fine.
6:51
Speaker 3: You can look at Jason Kendall then if you're gonna
6:53
Speaker 3: do that, because I think both had comparable correct, people
6:56
Speaker 3: liked Yadi, but not everyone did.
6:58
Speaker 2: Let's just put it that way. Uh.
7:00
Speaker 3: Although I always felt bad for YACHTI for having to
7:02
Speaker 3: spend a month on the UH month out of playing
7:06
Speaker 3: because he got hurt with the ball that got lodged
7:08
Speaker 3: inside his scroder or whatever it was. If you remember
7:10
Speaker 3: that ball that hit him in the scroll tom and
7:12
Speaker 3: then pinched him with the cup.
7:13
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, that's I don't wish that
7:15
Speaker 2: of my worst enemy. And even if I consider YACHTI
7:17
Speaker 2: my worst enemy, there was the there was the kid
7:20
Speaker 2: for the A's last week, they had the ruptured testicle.
7:23
Speaker 2: That's that's what I'm saying.
7:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, that made me think of that one, because that
7:26
Speaker 3: is an absolutely Like you said, what.
7:28
Speaker 2: Does that mean? It pops like means that's like a
7:32
Speaker 2: ruptures That ain't just like a crack. You blew that
7:37
Speaker 2: son of a gun out. That is like a Potell
7:39
Speaker 2: attendant blowing out. That is not a one quick rip
7:42
Speaker 2: and you're sewing it back.
7:43
Speaker 3: To My guy was still playing through it and stuff like.
7:46
Speaker 3: If that was me, I'm going right to the hospital.
7:48
Speaker 3: Like you guys can call me whatever you want. You
7:50
Speaker 3: could see I'm not a tough player. Differently, I guess
7:53
Speaker 3: cauld I do one kick to the balls and a
7:56
Speaker 3: game ball. Okay, So I'm gonna.
7:58
Speaker 2: Do a kick to the ball for these guys today.
8:01
Speaker 3: I will say this, and I'm gonna defend it. So
8:03
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go both ways. On one hand, I kicked
8:07
Speaker 3: the balls. I think the Brewers should have done the
8:09
Speaker 3: whole uniform if they're gonna go back to the NB
8:11
Speaker 3: logo from the mid nineties. I think it looked kind
8:13
Speaker 3: of weird with just the hat and then just the
8:15
Speaker 3: without the old uniform.
8:17
Speaker 2: I would have liked to see both and then a
8:19
Speaker 2: game ball about a seven and two home for.
8:21
Speaker 3: Them doing it, because everyone likes to rip on that
8:25
Speaker 3: logo the ever and I'm gonna say I'm a little
8:27
Speaker 3: tired enough of this people just saying how how bad
8:29
Speaker 3: the logo is. The logo was not that bad. It
8:32
Speaker 3: was little, okay. I think it's because they switched from
8:36
Speaker 3: the Bong Glove logo, which is the greatest ever, and
8:38
Speaker 3: they were bad during that time. That's why people didn't
8:41
Speaker 3: like it. Other than the fact that the green doesn't
8:43
Speaker 3: really fit. I don't think the.
8:44
Speaker 2: Actual logo is that bad, Okay, it's I just don't.
8:48
Speaker 1: My friend, my friend, the Boston Embarrasser, hit me with
8:50
Speaker 1: a text on Saturday, evening. He said, the ninety eras
8:53
Speaker 1: hats have to go. It's like being nostalgic about a
8:56
Speaker 1: cholera epidemic.
8:58
Speaker 3: Hie, So you don't like the era color epidemic. That's
9:04
Speaker 3: pretty good, But.
9:08
Speaker 2: Isn't that part of it? Armin Like, I mean they don't.
9:12
Speaker 2: They don't celebrate a ton of the seventies packers stuff.
9:14
Speaker 3: No, but they saw a lot of Purple Bucks stuff
9:16
Speaker 3: now because of one good year and it was just fine.
9:18
Speaker 3: But most of the Purple Bucks stuff was was not
9:21
Speaker 3: a good era like for the Bucks either.
9:23
Speaker 2: But people love the Purple Bucks. Though again the M
9:25
Speaker 2: and B.
9:26
Speaker 1: Did like recall like Notre Dame yah, but in New
9:30
Speaker 1: York the interlocking But yeah, the sea foam green didn't
9:34
Speaker 1: do it for.
9:34
Speaker 2: A lot of time. That it's all blue, and they
9:38
Speaker 2: were trying to make that a thing because there was
9:40
Speaker 2: sports colors going cycles where it was for a while,
9:43
Speaker 2: it was teel for a while. It used to be
9:45
Speaker 2: powder blue in the seventies and eighties. Now so now
9:48
Speaker 2: powder blue is kind of package. So one of the
9:50
Speaker 2: reason why I think they should go to the powder
9:51
Speaker 2: blue pants when they wear those powder blue road tracks.
9:55
Speaker 1: We haven't uh, we have not addressed and teed up.
9:58
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if it's worth a kick
9:59
Speaker 1: to the ball because it's so obvious. But Tony Romo.
10:03
Speaker 2: For these guys arrested on suspicion.
10:05
Speaker 1: Of Dui after a a carding a thirty five over
10:08
Speaker 1: in the Wisconsin State Amateur at West Bend Country Club.
10:12
Speaker 2: It was like six o'clock when he got.
10:13
Speaker 1: Pulled over, so clearly post round, yeah, post round and
10:18
Speaker 1: again innocent until proven guilty and all that. But man,
10:21
Speaker 1: that's a bad look. He's a good person, he's a
10:24
Speaker 1: good guy. But yeah, it's a bad decision, bad look.
10:26
Speaker 1: And again it's bad that you think about this. But
10:29
Speaker 1: first of all, no always hurt, and thank thankfully.
10:32
Speaker 2: It's the important thing. Drew, You're right, But I'm like.
10:34
Speaker 1: Wow, CBS, he's been getting diminishing reviews. I would say, yep,
10:41
Speaker 1: he signed like a ten year, one hundred and eighty
10:42
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. I'm wondering if CBS is looking at
10:45
Speaker 1: clauses in that contract that they might be able.
10:47
Speaker 2: To I would be assuming that they'd be cambing through
10:49
Speaker 2: it pretty closely. Think about making a move. I don't know.
10:52
Speaker 3: I was trying to splin that to somebody that didn't
10:54
Speaker 3: really They said, will you get fired? Will you to
10:56
Speaker 3: be able to broadcast? I said, if he doesn't broadcast,
10:59
Speaker 3: it's just because CBS wanted him out and looking for
11:01
Speaker 3: an excuse, right, isn't that the end?
11:03
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. He could very they could easily
11:05
Speaker 2: keep him, and they could, I think, just as easy
11:07
Speaker 2: move on and put JJ Watt in there, which I
11:09
Speaker 2: think that they've kind of maybe wanted to do for
11:11
Speaker 2: a little while. I don't know. The The interesting part
11:15
Speaker 2: for the NFL as well is his first hearing, preliminary hearing,
11:20
Speaker 2: would be like four or five days before he's supposed
11:23
Speaker 2: to go call the Brazil game. So like if I
11:25
Speaker 2: mean now, granted it's not like all of a sudden
11:27
Speaker 2: there's gonna be uh snap judgment and send it that quickly,
11:31
Speaker 2: but that's right before the league is gonna have one
11:34
Speaker 2: of their prime time outlook. Uh you know they put
11:39
Speaker 2: these things on the the front page moments for all
11:42
Speaker 2: the different networks. It's in their outfront moments or upfront
11:46
Speaker 2: moments pardon me for CBS. And now all of a sudden,
11:49
Speaker 2: your main guy is going to be in Wisconsin for
11:51
Speaker 2: a hearing three days before you fly to Brazil. That
11:53
Speaker 2: can't be the easiest thing to just forget about and Drew,
11:57
Speaker 2: there's there has been a lot of There have been
12:00
Speaker 2: a lot of people that have wondered how long Tony
12:02
Speaker 2: Romo was going to do this, not because of just
12:05
Speaker 2: you know, the performance, but for what he wanted to
12:07
Speaker 2: do and why he was in Wisconsin. They're like, well,
12:09
Speaker 2: he cares more about playing golf than the broadcasting games.
12:12
Speaker 2: Apparently balls just as well as he's doing the broadcast.
12:18
Speaker 1: He's withdrawn from the Texas Open that he was going
12:20
Speaker 1: to start tomorrow. He's withdrawn.
12:22
Speaker 3: So he was in the Dells this summer. You're a
12:24
Speaker 3: big cat talking about it, right.
12:25
Speaker 2: Might also want to work on the game if you're
12:27
Speaker 2: I think, what do you tie for seventy third? I
12:32
Speaker 2: thought I I thought we were playing a little bit.
12:36
Speaker 2: And Floria'll put that in the story too, the final score.
12:41
Speaker 2: You saw that. I was like, man, that's rough. You
12:42
Speaker 2: have to put the score in like that. People that
12:44
Speaker 2: Florio was having a week yesterday last week, Drew, you
12:48
Speaker 2: you did miss you take off that week right before
12:51
Speaker 2: training camp. You miss prime Florio week. He fired out
12:55
Speaker 2: that Brady potentially gonna run for president, fired out that
12:58
Speaker 2: maybe the packer's gonna have to sell off to some
13:00
Speaker 2: private equity. Florio was in his bag last week trying
13:03
Speaker 2: to get people to go over. That reminds me. The
13:07
Speaker 2: other thing you missed was that Aaron Rodgers reunited with
13:09
Speaker 2: his family on there that I saw that and whoa
13:14
Speaker 2: I mean the case that it.
13:15
Speaker 3: Was more important than most Wisconsin Heights, than most other
13:19
Speaker 3: stories that we think would be most important to Wisconsin Heights.
13:22
Speaker 3: I mean, people were very, very very invested in that.
13:25
Speaker 1: Saw a picture of a niece and nephew. He was
13:27
Speaker 1: with them, like it his mom and dad, not together,
13:29
Speaker 1: but separately pictures And then I saw.
13:31
Speaker 2: People probably shed tears. Scene. I saw no pictures of
13:34
Speaker 2: his wife, right, there were no pictures of Brittany with
13:36
Speaker 2: an eye. No, there were no which is.
13:38
Speaker 3: Further proof when people say they don't care about his
13:40
Speaker 3: personal life, they do because the obsession over whether or
13:42
Speaker 3: not he is a wife is constant, so people even
13:46
Speaker 3: care about it.
13:46
Speaker 2: And though don't tell me you don't care, I thought
13:48
Speaker 2: that you care. I thought the cool thing of the pictures.
13:50
Speaker 2: Drew was scrolling through as I generally do now because
13:53
Speaker 2: Armons taught me golds in the comments, right, that's generally
13:56
Speaker 2: where the best part is. It was almost I mean
13:59
Speaker 2: the first you know, ten twelve scrolls. We're all like
14:01
Speaker 2: former teammates like Alan Lazar being like this is awesome,
14:04
Speaker 2: Robert Tonyan great man. So many guys who obviously have
14:08
Speaker 2: a real vested interest in him taking an interest in
14:11
Speaker 2: hoping that he would at some point do this. That's
14:14
Speaker 2: that's a cool moment because there's so many guys that
14:17
Speaker 2: he's probably played with who wish that they could talk
14:19
Speaker 2: to their mom and dad. Don't have that opportunity, don't
14:21
Speaker 2: have that choice. So while you do have it, it's
14:24
Speaker 2: good to be a want.
14:25
Speaker 3: There's a lot I'm curious about the machinations of it
14:29
Speaker 3: and the thought process, but I think the Ian O'Connor
14:31
Speaker 3: book shed a lot of light on some of the things.
14:33
Speaker 3: When he talked about when he finally came across his
14:35
Speaker 3: dad at that golf tournament, when they had that moment.
14:38
Speaker 3: I wonder when he started considering, you know, people made
14:40
Speaker 3: the joke, we made the joke. Billy All took was
14:42
Speaker 3: another year of Mike McCarthy to consider the mic in there,
14:45
Speaker 3: and it changes the y to trigger his mind in
14:47
Speaker 3: the bonding week. I don't know, but I'm curious about
14:50
Speaker 3: it because it's just it's just been a fascinating thing
14:54
Speaker 3: for a long time and there's something about that and
14:57
Speaker 3: seeing him hugging his mom and I don't know how long.
14:59
Speaker 2: She waiting for that moment, but you can only imagine.
15:01
Speaker 3: So yeah, it sounds silly to some at first, but
15:05
Speaker 3: I think when you start thinking about it, it's a
15:07
Speaker 3: human interest story to a lot of people.
15:09
Speaker 2: Cared about that. That touched a lot of people. So
15:11
Speaker 2: that's right. Yeah. How about a kick to the balls
15:14
Speaker 2: to Michael Mike Lombardi. Okay, he is the GM of
15:21
Speaker 2: football at North Carolina right above Bill Belichick. School just
15:26
Speaker 2: announced like six minutes ago that North Carolina has played
15:28
Speaker 2: football GM Mike Lombardi on paid administrative leave. So that
15:34
Speaker 2: will that'll be something to the North Carolina Chapel hill
15:38
Speaker 2: placing Michael Lombardi, General manager of Football on paid leave
15:41
Speaker 2: effective immediately as a standard procedure with personal matters of leadership.
15:46
Speaker 2: Staff and student athletes are prohibited from addressing this topic
15:49
Speaker 2: further and has no reflection on the merits. Wow that
15:55
Speaker 2: is that is Kurt and quick get into it with
15:58
Speaker 2: Jordan Hudson. Somebody the hammer down here quickly. That's what
16:04
Speaker 2: I thought. Man, Bill not messing around over there. That
16:08
Speaker 2: is a quick one.
16:09
Speaker 1: You're like, he's the GM above Bill Belichick.
16:11
Speaker 2: Is he really Bill Belichick? Send out a couple of flyers. Wow,
16:17
Speaker 2: that's a quick one. So I was off.
16:19
Speaker 1: When ESPN made another round of layoffs. Laoffs in our
16:21
Speaker 1: business are never something to be celebrated. Brutality, brutality Kyle
16:26
Speaker 1: Ravis finding out from a reporter pretty weak game ball
16:30
Speaker 1: to recently retired and celebrated sports center icon Linda Cone,
16:37
Speaker 1: she called it out. She called it buffoonery on her
16:40
Speaker 1: YouTube show. She said, the whole PR nightmare could have
16:42
Speaker 1: been avoided if Ryan Clark was alerted. How about the
16:45
Speaker 1: night before and how about before he took the set
16:47
Speaker 1: for NFL Live. If you knew there were media outlets
16:50
Speaker 1: going to break the news, and you were concerned about
16:52
Speaker 1: Ryan finding out by looking at his phone during the show,
16:54
Speaker 1: why didn't you just tell him before the show? That's
16:56
Speaker 1: bumbling and fumbling, That buffoonery electrified the story in a
17:00
Speaker 1: negative way even more.
17:01
Speaker 2: She's right, I mean absolutely, I think you know she
17:04
Speaker 2: knocked it out of the park, and I did appreciate
17:06
Speaker 2: it right before she said that she goes now that
17:09
Speaker 2: I have this platform, I'm excited to talk.
17:11
Speaker 1: About this, and Dan Patrick ripped it to yeah, but
17:14
Speaker 1: he's been gone for twenty years.
17:16
Speaker 2: He has now worked away from ESPN longer than he
17:19
Speaker 2: worked at ESACA, and he's been doing the DPA the
17:21
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show longer than.
17:22
Speaker 1: That twenty minutes, and she's still teaching.
17:25
Speaker 2: It's also it's also just clear and obvious from the
17:29
Speaker 2: in this business, performance does not indicate success. That's a
17:33
Speaker 2: great because as you mentioned, they have now won the
17:35
Speaker 2: Emmy back to back years. Ryan Clark and dan Orlowski's
17:39
Speaker 2: conversation as well as swegu Laura religious phenomenal. Everyone loves
17:42
Speaker 2: Mina times, but those three guys who have done it
17:46
Speaker 2: and played it and talk about it day in and
17:48
Speaker 2: day out is why that show has beaten all of
17:51
Speaker 2: these other shows in best Studio Show to the last
17:55
Speaker 2: three years. So I mean there's success in how good
17:57
Speaker 2: the show is. The nobody was watching that three o'clock
18:00
Speaker 2: window on ESPN before that, and it just shows that
18:04
Speaker 2: it's not always what your performances exactly. Because tell me
18:08
Speaker 2: that Pelo didn't do a good.
18:09
Speaker 3: Job, right, I mean, and then that, I think we're
18:12
Speaker 3: used to the ethos of culture. We're used to growing
18:16
Speaker 3: up believing like that if you do lose your job,
18:17
Speaker 3: it's the maritpace. But in this industry it's just not well.
18:21
Speaker 3: Carl Rabbits was a hard time with that.
18:22
Speaker 2: The tough one for Karl Rabbits is he didn't do
18:25
Speaker 2: anything to deserve that, other than his bosses deciding that
18:29
Speaker 2: they didn't want to have MLB games seging. That's all
18:31
Speaker 2: it is. I mean, there's more Savannah Banana games on
18:35
Speaker 2: ESPN than there are Major League Baseball.
18:36
Speaker 3: Carl, we don't think it's worth the money to spend
18:39
Speaker 3: it on you, because even though you're great at what
18:40
Speaker 3: you do, we just don't want to do it.
18:42
Speaker 2: How great was baseball tonight? Though? When he first fired
18:44
Speaker 2: that thing, I loved it. I remember when I remember
18:47
Speaker 2: Gammons would be on there every night. Tim kirkchin the excitement.
18:50
Speaker 3: Okay, in two thousand and two, when he walked into
18:51
Speaker 3: the Brewers team store aka the fan Zoned, he walked
18:54
Speaker 3: in there with some of the ESPN before Oh my goodness,
18:57
Speaker 3: that's Carl Rabbits walking in our store.
18:59
Speaker 2: The all start it's happening. That's called ravage. Did you
19:02
Speaker 2: sell them anything? No, I was nervous. Back, They're just nervous.
19:04
Speaker 3: Not you gonna shake his hand. No, I just hung
19:06
Speaker 3: around like a weirdo. Just stood around him like a weirdo.
19:09
Speaker 3: That's what I did. I didn't do it. I don't
19:11
Speaker 3: want to be weird and say, hey, Carl, I know you,
19:13
Speaker 3: he's just gonna be even weirder.
19:16
Speaker 2: Stand my polo shirt like this in the corner, looking
19:18
Speaker 2: at him, Sis, staring at him, trying to hold down
19:20
Speaker 2: the midnight Hey, well pause. It wasn't like that, but
19:24
Speaker 2: I mean it was exciting. We'll put it that way.
19:25
Speaker 2: Love it, love it.
19:26
Speaker 1: When we come back, they're holding out the hats. Hunter
19:29
Speaker 1: Bombguart is going to join the party. We will talk
19:32
Speaker 1: to Hunter about the Brewers and the miz performance. Yesterday
19:36
Speaker 1: West Coast trip, the first of two of the Brewers
19:38
Speaker 1: have in the next couple of weeks to West Coast
19:40
Speaker 1: trips beginning tonight San Francisco.
19:42
Speaker 2: Hunter joins us.
19:43
Speaker 1: Next, you're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin person
19:46
Speaker 1: by our pal Hunter Bombguart, our Brewers beat guy. Hunter,
19:51
Speaker 1: thank you for coming in appreciate it.
19:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good to see you guys, just you know,
19:55
Speaker 4: up close and personal here.
19:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's always on the zoom for us on our
19:58
Speaker 2: in studio.
19:59
Speaker 1: In studio is amazing coming off of a seven and
20:03
Speaker 1: two Brewers' homestand kept by a special outing by the Miz.
20:07
Speaker 1: What did you think when you watched that unfold yesterday?
20:10
Speaker 4: It started to feel it started to feel like the
20:13
Speaker 4: Phillies game a little bit. And the fact that that
20:15
Speaker 4: fourth inning, when when it's like, you know, one and
20:17
Speaker 4: two on a guy and the fans are starting to
20:20
Speaker 4: stand in a PLoud, that's when the okay, like something's
20:23
Speaker 4: going on here, the fans realize something's going on here,
20:26
Speaker 4: and then and then you know, and that early in
20:28
Speaker 4: the game, Yeah, that's started to kind of feel like
20:31
Speaker 4: I turned to Spencer sitting next to me, I'm like,
20:33
Speaker 4: this is starting to feel a little bit like that
20:35
Speaker 4: Phillies game. Then, of course, the home run happens and
20:38
Speaker 4: it's and he goes five innings, But man, that was
20:42
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Rock said it like, was there
20:44
Speaker 4: been a more dominant start to a game other than
20:47
Speaker 4: in Brewer's history, other than twelve to thirteen being struck out.
20:50
Speaker 2: I mean it's just incredible, and just the sheer dominance
20:53
Speaker 2: of laying it on the table and letting them see
20:55
Speaker 2: it like this is one hundred miles an hour right
20:57
Speaker 2: in front of you. Try and catch up to it
20:59
Speaker 2: like that. That's just a that's an egotistical way of pitching,
21:03
Speaker 2: and I think it's one of my favorite parts about it,
21:05
Speaker 2: where it's like, I know what I can do. I'm
21:07
Speaker 2: gonna work on my own stuff. While as a buster
21:10
Speaker 2: only points out he has an opponent ops of four fifty,
21:15
Speaker 2: which he needs forty two innings to qualify for the
21:17
Speaker 2: Era title. If he does that and maintains a four
21:20
Speaker 2: to fifty opponent ops, it'll be the best of all time.
21:23
Speaker 2: And he's doing it by just throwing strikes and throwing
21:26
Speaker 2: the fastballs in the zone. Incredible.
21:28
Speaker 1: The interesting thing to me is the first at bat
21:30
Speaker 1: of the game was a ten pitch bat. It was yeah,
21:33
Speaker 1: it's like wow it and then he settled in just
21:36
Speaker 1: blue smoke, and I'm thinking to myself, as a hitter,
21:40
Speaker 1: you go in there.
21:40
Speaker 2: He's always around the zone. He doesn't like miss wildly
21:43
Speaker 2: king Yeah, not.
21:44
Speaker 1: Making Gary like reach all over the place and stab
21:46
Speaker 1: at it and stuff, so you just have to swing
21:49
Speaker 1: and you almost have to close your eyes swing at
21:52
Speaker 1: a fastball and just hope for the best.
21:54
Speaker 2: Yes, right.
21:55
Speaker 1: And yet when you have strikeout pitchers, they tend to
21:58
Speaker 1: run up high pitch counts. It's a function of going
22:00
Speaker 1: deeper into counts. But these guys have to swing early
22:02
Speaker 1: because you don't want to get two strikes against this guy.
22:05
Speaker 1: He didn't have a three ball count other than the
22:07
Speaker 1: first of bat till like later, Yeah, until the thirty
22:10
Speaker 1: pitch last inning, right, I think. So it was a
22:12
Speaker 1: weird deal in that, you know, it wasn't an overly
22:17
Speaker 1: efficient outing though he was punching guys out. But eighty
22:20
Speaker 1: five pitches and five innings is Freddy Peralta esque.
22:22
Speaker 2: It was, you know.
22:24
Speaker 4: And and the Cole Carrig home run that was if
22:27
Speaker 4: they just trust their heater there, I think. I don't
22:29
Speaker 4: think he necessarily hits the home run. He the two
22:32
Speaker 4: first two pitches are heaters, and the second swing was
22:35
Speaker 4: just like literally close your eyes, and then the two
22:38
Speaker 4: off speed, and it's like, just hit him with the
22:40
Speaker 4: third one one more time, even if it's up in
22:42
Speaker 4: the zone. Try to get him to swing well he
22:44
Speaker 4: was come back to the heater and then he was
22:46
Speaker 4: ready for it and he put it out. I got
22:48
Speaker 4: whiffs on the curveball, which is ninety two, which is
22:50
Speaker 4: unfair so far away from that heater that just just
22:56
Speaker 4: go right back to it and do it again.
22:57
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the outing, he kind of a
22:59
Speaker 1: band of the fast, almost throwing cutters and stuff, and
23:01
Speaker 1: it was like, well.
23:02
Speaker 2: I think he gets bored with it.
23:03
Speaker 1: It felt it did feel like after the Homer, like
23:06
Speaker 1: at the end of his last inning, something felt a
23:08
Speaker 1: little off it, like this isn't like I kind of
23:12
Speaker 1: knew what happened.
23:13
Speaker 2: I kind of knew he wasn't going to come back.
23:15
Speaker 3: He was getting nervous that they were catching up or
23:17
Speaker 3: timing the heater, and he's like, I really.
23:18
Speaker 2: Got to mix it up now.
23:19
Speaker 3: Because he made a feeling I think about you can
23:22
Speaker 3: play chess games with yourself, well, I would imagine on
23:24
Speaker 3: the mound a lot when you're that good, and then people,
23:27
Speaker 3: you know, people when batters never get hits off you,
23:29
Speaker 3: and then one guy does and you're like, oh gosh,
23:31
Speaker 3: something's going terribly wrong. I've inter fixed it because I'm
23:34
Speaker 3: usually perfect, so I'm not perfect.
23:36
Speaker 4: Something's terribly wrong, right, and it's Gary, you know Gary,
23:38
Speaker 4: and and they're they're calling the pitches. You know, I know,
23:41
Speaker 4: mis you know says he doesn't shake off Contreras a lot.
23:44
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly the relationship between him and Sanchez,
23:47
Speaker 4: but I would assume it's pretty similar as well.
23:49
Speaker 2: Sanchez been around the block a little bit.
23:51
Speaker 4: He hasn't caught miss as much as Contrera's has this season,
23:55
Speaker 4: but I think, you know, he he he knows how
23:57
Speaker 4: to call a game as well. So, yeah, that that
23:59
Speaker 4: was in interesting. Sixty six fastballs, all one hundred miles
24:02
Speaker 4: an hour or higher. He just every outing, now, you know,
24:06
Speaker 4: other than his four inning, sixty five pitch outing last time,
24:09
Speaker 4: which is kind of maybe the throwaway outing of the
24:11
Speaker 4: seasons for him so far. Otherwise, like every single one
24:13
Speaker 4: of them is just is just consistently. I mean, thirty
24:17
Speaker 4: pitches one hundred and three miles an hour or higher yesterday,
24:20
Speaker 4: I mean nobody had more than fourteen in the game
24:22
Speaker 4: coming in.
24:24
Speaker 2: He just raps on all of them. It's hilarious to
24:27
Speaker 2: see it just continue to get set at a different
24:29
Speaker 2: level offensively, though, Now let me say the dumbest thing
24:34
Speaker 2: in sports radio when you talk about baseball. It's crazy
24:37
Speaker 2: how good you can be when your bottom of the
24:38
Speaker 2: orders keeps hitt Yes, and when that bottom of the
24:41
Speaker 2: order is two twenty one year old rookies and Joey Ortiz,
24:44
Speaker 2: who we were actively trying to get off the team
24:46
Speaker 2: for the last year and a half, I think that's
24:49
Speaker 2: a pretty staggering thing coming out of the break. But
24:53
Speaker 2: just the poise Hunter, I know you tweeted out the
24:55
Speaker 2: numbers and talk about it in your report, the numbers
24:58
Speaker 2: that they put up here, but the aed bats that
25:00
Speaker 2: Pratt and Lara are giving you right now feels like
25:03
Speaker 2: they're adjusting to the adjustment that the league was making
25:06
Speaker 2: to him. That's an impressive thing to be able to
25:08
Speaker 2: do at that age.
25:08
Speaker 4: For sure, this early obviously the age as you mentioned,
25:11
Speaker 4: both twenty one years old. Yeah, as I mentioned earlier,
25:14
Speaker 4: nine for thirteen the last two games of the series,
25:17
Speaker 4: Laura and Pratt were nine for thirteen with ten runs
25:19
Speaker 4: driven in.
25:20
Speaker 2: I mean, it just both in there. You know, Cooper,
25:22
Speaker 2: Pratt's been up for just over a month.
25:24
Speaker 4: Laura is still in his first month in the majors,
25:26
Speaker 4: and to have that effect in front of the home
25:28
Speaker 4: crowd was awesome, and it's it's Jack Stern, a bur fanatic,
25:33
Speaker 4: asked Murpha a really good question. I think it was
25:34
Speaker 4: Saturday night, just like the One of the things that's
25:38
Speaker 4: most impressive about Laara right now is the balls he's taking, right,
25:42
Speaker 4: He's not swinging out a ton outside of the zone necessarily,
25:46
Speaker 4: he is. He looks really I noticed this his first game.
25:49
Speaker 4: He just looks confident in the box, and it just
25:52
Speaker 4: and you can't necessarily teach that.
25:54
Speaker 2: You can't feel that.
25:55
Speaker 4: Obviously, he probably feels a little more comfortable now than
25:57
Speaker 4: he did that first game in Saint Louis. But I
25:59
Speaker 4: think overall, he just looks like he is ready to
26:03
Speaker 4: be a big leaguer at twenty one, which you cannot
26:05
Speaker 4: necessarily teach, and you can't that can't always happen.
26:08
Speaker 1: They both give off the Trio vibes because Trios from
26:10
Speaker 1: the time he walked in like he belongs here. He
26:12
Speaker 1: doesn't look nervous or overwhelmed or just they just like
26:16
Speaker 1: they're dealing with it.
26:17
Speaker 3: And I realized something last night when he was when
26:20
Speaker 3: Cooper Pratt was talking about their relationship.
26:22
Speaker 2: All the way back Tony or was it low way
26:24
Speaker 2: or high ya?
26:25
Speaker 3: And what you said they look like Trio, because okay,
26:27
Speaker 3: this is how you you grow the system, right, you
26:30
Speaker 3: grow the garden like they see these kids come up. Basically,
26:32
Speaker 3: these guys see Trio come up and succeed, so they
26:35
Speaker 3: expect that can be.
26:36
Speaker 2: Your theory, my apple orchard theory.
26:39
Speaker 4: I saw that, and I think I took like about
26:42
Speaker 4: five minutes to say, okay, so if the tree, yeah,
26:47
Speaker 4: but it made.
26:48
Speaker 2: Sense by the end. I think that point once. Once
26:50
Speaker 2: I did Drew's entire map and I got my garden
26:54
Speaker 2: to figure out before the orchard, then I understood what
26:57
Speaker 2: you were saying. But by to the apples also about
26:59
Speaker 2: growing the whole apple orchard.
27:00
Speaker 3: And the brewers have have invested in that to think
27:04
Speaker 3: to say to themselves, we're gonna have young guys come up.
27:07
Speaker 2: We're gonna have other young guys see it.
27:09
Speaker 3: We're gonna have them come up together, and that's gonna
27:11
Speaker 3: be the process that we enjoy.
27:13
Speaker 2: That's the process.
27:13
Speaker 1: Hunter Bombguard is here with us, brought to us by
27:15
Speaker 1: import Minded, your trusted source for auto care twenty seven
27:18
Speaker 1: Street just eight ninety four.
27:20
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing.
27:21
Speaker 1: Your farm system is a pipeline to develop your major
27:23
Speaker 1: league team, also for trades, and that's where we are.
27:26
Speaker 1: We're a week away from the trade deadline. They need
27:29
Speaker 1: another starter, they need a bullpen arm. I'm thinking maybe
27:32
Speaker 1: a lefty for the pen would be good because Ashby can't.
27:34
Speaker 2: Pitch every day.
27:35
Speaker 1: But then I'm thinking to myself, if they acquire a
27:38
Speaker 1: starter this dro and moved to the bullpen, I.
27:42
Speaker 2: Would love it.
27:43
Speaker 1: I ash be multi inning eater from the left side,
27:48
Speaker 1: So that's something to think about. They could also use
27:50
Speaker 1: another bat, you know, as munch as we you need
27:53
Speaker 1: someone with some thump. You need someone to hit some
27:55
Speaker 1: home runs to beat the Dodgers, because we know in
27:56
Speaker 1: the postseason home runs play and what the Brewers have
27:59
Speaker 1: been doing off offensively, and to have the record they
28:01
Speaker 1: have without the homers is somewhat stunning.
28:03
Speaker 2: Oh it's yeah, Fur, It's definitely not.
28:06
Speaker 1: But it's not necessarily a recipe for October success because
28:10
Speaker 1: you need them one swing. So all that on the table, Hunter,
28:14
Speaker 1: what do you think? How does your spidy sense tell
28:16
Speaker 1: you about what's going to happen?
28:17
Speaker 4: I mean, it just it seems like this may be
28:20
Speaker 4: a year where they're a little more aggressive. One of
28:22
Speaker 4: the things that I've been noticing is they are they are,
28:27
Speaker 4: They're not getting ahead of theirselves, and Pat Murphy's trying
28:29
Speaker 4: to keep himself from getting ahead of himself, I think,
28:32
Speaker 4: and the whole organization a little bit. But it seems
28:34
Speaker 4: like from the top down, they're a little bit more
28:37
Speaker 4: looking to October right now more than they have ever
28:39
Speaker 4: in July. A lot of years it was let's get
28:42
Speaker 4: to the you know, let's get to the postseason, let's
28:44
Speaker 4: win the division and anything can happen from there. This year,
28:47
Speaker 4: I mean, Pat Murphy basically admitted to us on Saturday
28:51
Speaker 4: that they are trying to make sure that their guys
28:54
Speaker 4: are healthy come October. And he's like, you guys can
28:57
Speaker 4: see what we're doing. Like it's it's not we're not
28:59
Speaker 4: hiding what we're doing. We're making sure, you know, they're
29:01
Speaker 4: taking more time with Kyle Harrison, they're cutting missus starts short,
29:05
Speaker 4: they're skipping a miss start in Pittsburgh.
29:06
Speaker 2: Like, we can see what they're doing.
29:09
Speaker 4: And they're kind of using that Dodgers method right of
29:11
Speaker 4: getting ready for the postseason. Because of that, I think
29:15
Speaker 4: they're also probably looking at their team and saying what
29:18
Speaker 4: do we need to beat the Dodgers? What do we
29:20
Speaker 4: need to make this run in the postseason and not
29:22
Speaker 4: just acquire, you know, a role player that can help
29:27
Speaker 4: us win this division. It's what can get us to
29:29
Speaker 4: a World Series because this would be the fourth, you know,
29:32
Speaker 4: year in a row, you're winning your division and you
29:34
Speaker 4: made your step last year to the NLCS. So and
29:37
Speaker 4: of course Adam Kelvey talking to Matt Arnold and getting
29:40
Speaker 4: the sense that they're going to be a little bit
29:42
Speaker 4: more aggressive this year, and they checked in on guys
29:44
Speaker 4: like Miller and Schooble, So I would think, now, does
29:47
Speaker 4: that mean giving up the farm for a Schoobler Miller?
29:50
Speaker 4: I don't know, or is it a couple moves. I
29:52
Speaker 4: think pitching is definitely the biggest need because you have
29:55
Speaker 4: the young guys. You don't know what's going to happen.
29:57
Speaker 4: Murph talked about that over the weekend as well, like, guys,
30:00
Speaker 4: we're yeah, I know our record's good and and we're
30:03
Speaker 4: all looking or looking towards October and everything, but this
30:06
Speaker 4: is still a really young rotation. We don't know how
30:09
Speaker 4: this is gonna go. Over the last two months. Bring
30:11
Speaker 4: a veteran in I thought mccolors might be that guy.
30:13
Speaker 4: Clearly he's not gonna be that guy, and so yeah,
30:16
Speaker 4: we'll we'll see what they do. But that's the sense
30:18
Speaker 4: that I get. I was surprised by them Colors thing.
30:20
Speaker 4: Maybe they can get him in Nashville and maybe he
30:22
Speaker 4: could get regular.
30:23
Speaker 2: But I wonder when he talked about the tough tough conversations,
30:27
Speaker 2: it didn't seem like that was just in the front office.
30:28
Speaker 2: Maybe that was a tough conversation with Lance of like,
30:30
Speaker 2: hey man, we we definitely want you down there. In
30:32
Speaker 2: the tough conversation.
30:33
Speaker 1: Someone actually asked me, like, how important is it for
30:36
Speaker 1: the Birds to finish with either the best record or
30:38
Speaker 1: second best record. I'm like, it's everything to not I said,
30:40
Speaker 1: you win the series, you don't play you have to
30:43
Speaker 1: get that especial rotation.
30:46
Speaker 2: You also don't build in the ankst that we saw
30:49
Speaker 2: a couple of times in that first series where instantly
30:51
Speaker 2: one thing goes wrong true, and that home crowd turns
30:54
Speaker 2: into a home panic. Yeah, and the pucking factor is
30:59
Speaker 2: different level in three game series that elsewhere you'll.
31:01
Speaker 1: Be playing a team that has momentum because they want
31:04
Speaker 1: a series, but then you're playing them at home with
31:06
Speaker 1: your crowd and miss like you gotta have. It's everything
31:09
Speaker 1: like that that is worth gunning for. And if you
31:12
Speaker 1: can get a cushion and not have to use all
31:15
Speaker 1: your bullets to get that, it helps you. But then again,
31:18
Speaker 1: it's the whole rest versus rust thing we've talked about.
31:21
Speaker 2: I mean they talked about it in Chicago. Jed Hoyers like,
31:24
Speaker 2: we would probably be more aggressive if we were in
31:25
Speaker 2: line for a bye, like because they just did. They
31:28
Speaker 2: just lived it last year where yeah, they won a series,
31:31
Speaker 2: the dance momentum, then they had to pitch BOYD on
31:33
Speaker 2: three days rest and get rocked right out of the
31:35
Speaker 2: gates in Game one.
31:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a lot of interesting stuff ahead, but
31:39
Speaker 1: it is a time to be aggressive.
31:40
Speaker 2: Does that mean Schooble I don't know. Yeah, I mean
31:44
Speaker 2: the mccolors thing. Do they take a swing on guys
31:46
Speaker 2: like that?
31:46
Speaker 1: I was I've been keeping my eyes on Kansas City
31:48
Speaker 1: because they got Waka and Lugo, right, guys, both guys
31:51
Speaker 1: that would pencil in as experienced guys that And to me,
31:55
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, you're thinking about October, October, October, but
31:58
Speaker 1: you also gotta get through the.
31:59
Speaker 2: Next two months. You absolutely need innings for the next
32:02
Speaker 2: two months. You need stability, and you need to be
32:04
Speaker 2: able to like.
32:05
Speaker 1: Because you don't know what Harrison's gonna do. We've seen
32:08
Speaker 1: mis on the big stage. He's not gonna wet himself.
32:10
Speaker 1: He's just like Miss. But Harrison and anybody else is
32:13
Speaker 1: an unknown. So you need to get through these next
32:16
Speaker 1: two months. And they're gonna within a week they need help.
32:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, any trade that you make now obviously is going
32:22
Speaker 4: to help in October, but it's also going to help
32:24
Speaker 4: you for those two months and try to get that
32:26
Speaker 4: buy and try to get that one seed.
32:28
Speaker 1: So we think about the prospects and stuff, and okay,
32:30
Speaker 1: so Made is untouchable. We don't know about Caro. But
32:34
Speaker 1: I think someone asked, what are you gonna do when
32:36
Speaker 1: Freelich and Lockridge get back? It's a question, sure, and
32:39
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, yeah, but those guys could also be
32:41
Speaker 1: traded because major league like Blake Perkins, we might not
32:44
Speaker 1: think of him as much, but somebody might want him
32:46
Speaker 1: in a trade as a throwing as a guy, an
32:49
Speaker 1: extra guy people need.
32:51
Speaker 2: Major league players are trading from their major league level.
32:56
Speaker 2: They're like, we need guys to finish off the two months,
32:58
Speaker 2: no doubt. Yes, yeah, so that's not off the table.
33:01
Speaker 2: Do you think Hunter now? Because last year it was
33:04
Speaker 2: everybody beating the drum. Gotta be offense, got to be
33:06
Speaker 2: a bat pitch. This year it's got to be pitching.
33:09
Speaker 2: Gotta be pitching. This week the CJ. Abrams rumor pops
33:13
Speaker 2: up now, I don't know if that would be more
33:15
Speaker 2: over to third base, which I think a lot of
33:17
Speaker 2: people are forecasting. I'd love his bat in the lineup.
33:20
Speaker 2: He's not finished out years. Great on the other end,
33:23
Speaker 2: but that's two years of control. That would Would that
33:26
Speaker 2: still be a guy that they're leaning in and looking
33:29
Speaker 2: more for, or since we're just talking about Scoobal so much,
33:33
Speaker 2: they'd be more open to.
33:34
Speaker 4: Rentals this year, you think. I think they'd be a
33:36
Speaker 4: little more open to rentals. I mean, if they're going
33:38
Speaker 4: to be more aggressive, I feel like aggressive would be
33:40
Speaker 4: getting a guy. I mean, well, you could look at
33:42
Speaker 4: it two ways, because if you get a guy with
33:44
Speaker 4: more control, it's maybe going to cost you a little
33:47
Speaker 4: bit more, depending on the player obviously, but Abrams is
33:50
Speaker 4: going to cost you a pretty penny, I would think,
33:53
Speaker 4: And then and but man, I don't know. I mean
33:56
Speaker 4: with obviously with Joey Ortiz's resurgence, is you know, is
33:59
Speaker 4: Joe or Tease or Cooper Pratt?
34:01
Speaker 2: You know C. J Abrams? No, right? If you have C.
34:04
Speaker 4: J Abrams at third and Cooper Pratt had short, okay,
34:07
Speaker 4: you know it's not bad. And you got the pop
34:09
Speaker 4: as well. And that's the big part that would add
34:12
Speaker 4: to that offense.
34:12
Speaker 1: He would fit if he would if he's willing to
34:14
Speaker 1: play third and give you thirty homers and you got
34:16
Speaker 1: Joey Ortiz as the backup behind those guys exactly boom.
34:21
Speaker 2: Level, that's an offense.
34:22
Speaker 3: I cand go at anybody, absolutely, hey, really quick about
34:26
Speaker 3: Friday night before I lose my chance?
34:28
Speaker 2: Was that trophy the biggest thing you've ever seen? It
34:30
Speaker 2: was taller than Sofia?
34:31
Speaker 3: Yeah?
34:32
Speaker 2: That was why was that part of the gag? Was
34:33
Speaker 2: that part of the prank? It might have been.
34:35
Speaker 4: I mean everything was a little bit like, yeah, it
34:37
Speaker 4: was a little you know fun in games.
34:39
Speaker 2: That was cool.
34:40
Speaker 4: I think it was uh, you know, I think it
34:43
Speaker 4: was kind of what you expected from one of those
34:45
Speaker 4: alumni games. I think it was you know, competitive, but
34:49
Speaker 4: also you know, they weren't going all out they were
34:52
Speaker 4: for the game.
34:53
Speaker 1: Anybody who thought that, like Ben Sheets was gonna like
34:55
Speaker 1: throw his twenty four twelve to six curveball and try.
34:59
Speaker 2: To break bats and that like that, go watch an
35:01
Speaker 2: inner mural game if that's what you're.
35:02
Speaker 3: Come well, it was funny how we crystallize those guys
35:05
Speaker 3: in our mind and believe there's still that guy.
35:07
Speaker 2: I mean, number one does grow older, guys. I did, well,
35:09
Speaker 2: I was telling it was almost fifty. I'm like, right here,
35:12
Speaker 2: this guy started an All Star game and pitched for
35:14
Speaker 2: the team USA. And my buddies and my little kids like,
35:17
Speaker 2: I don't care, Dad, I want to play baseball. Give
35:20
Speaker 2: me the bat and then let me go and hit
35:22
Speaker 2: the TV. I don't care.
35:22
Speaker 1: I mean I did, like I did watch him Dilly
35:24
Speaker 1: go after a fly ball.
35:26
Speaker 2: Yeah that was good.
35:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, Poxburger made three catches in the in a row
35:30
Speaker 4: and right field. Yeah, it was just kind of hilarious.
35:31
Speaker 2: And then you got players pitchers playing the infield. I mean,
35:35
Speaker 2: come on, it was fun. I did like Dilly getting
35:37
Speaker 2: traded mid game. That was that's a good and good confusion.
35:41
Speaker 1: Video of him being the last pick and sitting there
35:44
Speaker 1: like Rogers at the table that was pretty good.
35:46
Speaker 2: I like the quote Doug Melvin, well, the next time
35:48
Speaker 2: we do, when that draft picks up, I'll be eighty
35:51
Speaker 2: six and somebody else can make it. He's done. Oh man.
35:57
Speaker 4: But yes, maybe maybe maybe we do the alumni game
36:00
Speaker 4: and I don't know, an off day next year.
36:01
Speaker 1: But lost again or we were wondering about, right hunter,
36:05
Speaker 1: what about logistically have the alumni game at three in
36:08
Speaker 1: the real game.
36:09
Speaker 4: After Okay, that's that is yes, I like that, Yes, yes,
36:16
Speaker 4: I like that. They lost five to one last year
36:18
Speaker 4: before the home run derby. They lost five to two
36:20
Speaker 4: this year before the alumni game. Murph was a little
36:23
Speaker 4: worried about it before the game. I just think it's
36:25
Speaker 4: it's a lot of fan fair. It's great, everybody loves
36:27
Speaker 4: seeing everybody and and it's great. But at the end
36:29
Speaker 4: of the day, there is a major League baseball game
36:31
Speaker 4: that you I didn't get to talk to the guy
36:33
Speaker 4: that I covered, Brooks.
36:38
Speaker 2: A inaudible arrangement. Thank him for setting the table so
36:42
Speaker 2: he could run through this. Amazing, amazing, he was.
36:48
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Thank you for being our eyes and ears
36:50
Speaker 1: at the ballpark. You're going to be busy at the
36:52
Speaker 1: West Coast, like who knows. Maybe we'll make a trade
36:55
Speaker 1: at some point this week. Wait till the You don't
36:57
Speaker 1: have to wait till Monday.
36:58
Speaker 2: You can do it now. They were in San France,

38:22
Speaker 2: who's not the Miami Marlins. They looked like they were
38:25
Speaker 2: going to be in buy mode and that they were
38:27
Speaker 2: going to be competing in the NL East and staid drew.
38:30
Speaker 2: They have now lost one, two, three, twelve consecutive games
38:34
Speaker 2: and they are ten and a half games out and
38:35
Speaker 2: now they should probably be in cell mode, And maybe
38:37
Speaker 2: that means Sandy Alcintara finally ends up moving. Feels like
38:41
Speaker 2: he's been a name that people have talked about at
38:43

Speaker 3: about his likely exit from the.
39:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I don't know if that sucks you
39:10
Speaker 1: guys talked about it last week, but people asked me,
39:12
Speaker 1: should they get Freddy Browls back?
39:13
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, not the way he's throwing in like
39:16
Speaker 2: a yeah. I mean you're talking about needing innings and
39:19
Speaker 2: and some reclamation projects. I feel a lot better about
39:22
Speaker 2: them having a reclamation project with him than I do
39:25
Speaker 2: Trevor Rosenfall, who was their big deadline a couple of
39:28
Speaker 2: years ago. I mean, like, you start looking at deadline moves.
39:30
Speaker 2: The Brewers make Freddy burlt to throwing a sub just
39:33
Speaker 2: around a five E r A. That would be a
39:35
Speaker 2: Brewers deadline move. That would be the movie.
