Speaker 2: is in for armand Sarian. Today we'll be talking some Brewers.
0:18
Speaker 2: Brewers lose Getaway Day, Fenway Park, Chili, Fenway Park five nothing. Yesterday,
0:23
Speaker 2: Shane Drone didn't pitch horribly first big league start against
0:26
Speaker 2: his former club. Tough day to make your major league debut,
0:30
Speaker 2: cold and windy. A lot of opening days are like that. Yeah,
0:32
Speaker 2: he'll have better days, but it wasn't horrible.
0:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, bah.
0:36
Speaker 3: Double the walks than strikeouts usually not gonna go to well,
0:41
Speaker 3: we walked a lot of guys yesterday they did, and
0:43
Speaker 3: the whole series.
0:44
Speaker 4: I was gonna say the series, it was the walks
0:45
Speaker 4: that ended up doing them.
0:46
Speaker 1: In again, right, because those runs eventually scored. It did.
0:49
Speaker 3: All three runs on Tuesday night were the miswalks. So yeah,
0:53
Speaker 3: it's it's unfortunately the walks bit him in Boston.
0:56
Speaker 2: Brewers will they're off today We'll enter a series against
0:59
Speaker 2: the Nationals with eight and four record, tied for first
1:03
Speaker 2: place in the Central with the surprising Cincinnati Reds. Bob
1:06
Speaker 2: Nightingale pointing out there are more teams than the NL
1:09
Speaker 2: Central with winning records than the entire American League. Oh,
1:12
Speaker 2: that's why I like to hear the red dominating this
1:15
Speaker 2: inner Reds and Brewers are eight and four, Pirates and
1:17
Speaker 2: Cardinals are seven and five. In the American League, the
1:19
Speaker 2: Yankees are eight and three, the Guardians are eight and five,
1:21
Speaker 2: the Rangers are seven to five, and everybody else.
1:23
Speaker 1: Has a losing record or a five ndred record.
1:26
Speaker 3: The NL is forty eight and thirty against the AL
1:30
Speaker 3: so far. Yeah, forty eight and third dominant dominant.
1:34
Speaker 4: Well, it just this shows, you know, better brand of baseball,
1:37
Speaker 4: and it's been that for right forever. But I did
1:40
Speaker 4: hear a passing yesterday say the NL Central is no
1:43
Speaker 4: longer Comedy Central, which which I appreciate seeing. I appreciate
1:48
Speaker 4: the belief that there's like multiple teams that I don't know,
1:51
Speaker 4: that there's multiple teams that can win. Drew and I
1:53
Speaker 4: were talking about it yesterday, Hunter like I might be
1:55
Speaker 4: a little bit higher on the Reds than others. They
1:58
Speaker 4: sneak into the playoffs when they win eighty three games
2:00
Speaker 4: last year, like they just got in. It's probably gonna
2:03
Speaker 4: take eighty six or eighty seven like it usually does
2:05
Speaker 4: to make the playoffs in the NL this year.
2:08
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's out of the question.
2:10
Speaker 4: Cub's gonna have to figure out what they got going
2:11
Speaker 4: on because they got a lot of problems in that
2:13
Speaker 4: rotation alwise. But I could very much see three teams
2:17
Speaker 4: from the NL being in the mix and making the
2:20
Speaker 4: playoffs this year, just like you ended up seeing a year.
2:22
Speaker 3: Ago, right, exactly, That's what happened last year. I was
2:25
Speaker 3: for the Reds. It's I was kind of like, okay,
2:27
Speaker 3: I'll believe it when I see it. You saw it
2:29
Speaker 3: a little bit last year, just because they did make
2:31
Speaker 3: the postseason, but their record wasn't great. And the Pirates
2:35
Speaker 3: continue to be in April team so until they, you know,
2:38
Speaker 3: are contending, even in late May Memorial Day, when we
2:41
Speaker 3: do our first check or flag day, right Arman likes
2:44
Speaker 3: to check the standard call flag flag day. Yeah, so
2:47
Speaker 3: when we let's take a look at where the Pirates are,
2:49
Speaker 3: then I know people are you know, Connor Griffin stealing
2:52
Speaker 3: the headlines and schemes and everything. But at the end
2:54
Speaker 3: of the day, I don't think the roster necessarily holds
2:57
Speaker 3: up to some of the others in the NL Central.
2:58
Speaker 3: So yeah, I do think it's mostly Cubbs, Brewers, Reds
3:03
Speaker 3: as far as the NL Central and who could make
3:05
Speaker 3: the playoffs.
3:06
Speaker 1: But you could see three.
3:07
Speaker 4: You could see three. Yeah, you could at the risk
3:09
Speaker 4: of being you know, freezing cold taked. It's nice that
3:14
Speaker 4: the Pirates are like the fun new not expansion team.
3:17
Speaker 1: Expansion team right like, now they're paying.
3:19
Speaker 4: They're paying the largest contract they've ever given out, one
3:22
Speaker 4: hundred and forty five million dollars.
3:23
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to big leagues. Come on now, hey, welcome in,
3:26
Speaker 1: Welcome into the show.
3:27
Speaker 4: They offered Kyle Schwarber a contract this year, drew like
3:30
Speaker 4: they offered him a deal, So they're now playing big
3:33
Speaker 4: league baseball. So I appreciate the fact that they're no
3:36
Speaker 4: longer just resting as the other team in the doormat
3:40
Speaker 4: of the Central. But I'm with you, I'm gonna need
3:43
Speaker 4: to see a little bit more than just a couple
3:45
Speaker 4: of flashes in the pan. If the Pirates were better,
3:48
Speaker 4: put them on the level. If they were like I
3:51
Speaker 4: would say the Mets are the aggy, but I'm just like,
3:54
Speaker 4: if the Pirates were better, Livy dun would be the
3:56
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift of MLBO.
3:58
Speaker 1: True, you're not You're not lying. They desperately want.
4:02
Speaker 4: Her to be available for them in the into the postseason.
4:06
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like they are. They are yearning team.
4:10
Speaker 2: But she's done all the way to the LSU days
4:12
Speaker 2: but with her brand and her social and she's not
4:15
Speaker 2: going to be in the Baywatch series and stuff. So
4:17
Speaker 2: it's almost like if you're a conspiracy theorist, all these
4:20
Speaker 2: people they want you on us out of town, Like
4:22
Speaker 2: where do they want schemes to go so they can
4:24
Speaker 2: maximize that It really doesn't matter anymore. But it's just
4:28
Speaker 2: that if the Pirates were good in a legit first place,
4:32
Speaker 2: like playoff perennial playoff team, Wow, yeah, she would be.
4:37
Speaker 1: People be like, uncle, I'm sick of this already.
4:39
Speaker 4: She would be on She would be on camera more
4:41
Speaker 4: than Taylor is during games right now, not only just
4:43
Speaker 4: because there's more downtime. He's throwing a hundred pitches and
4:46
Speaker 4: throwing heat. Right, They're like, hold on more heat Section
4:48
Speaker 4: two ten. They're right, like, let's go right over there
4:51
Speaker 4: to get more excitement. They then found that with with
4:54
Speaker 4: young Connor Griffin. Now my man's nineteen. He is apparently married. Ah,
4:59
Speaker 4: I did, oh, that lovely young woman as he's a
5:02
Speaker 4: he's an Arkansas boy. I believe he's from down south, right.
5:06
Speaker 4: They flashed over to that that club suite that they
5:10
Speaker 4: had on his his first day. Immediately it felt like
5:14
Speaker 4: that Pirates Broadcast couldn't go back to that visual. More So,
5:17
Speaker 4: if major League Baseball is producing these games, which in
5:20
Speaker 4: a year and a half they're gonna be producing everybody's games,
5:23
Speaker 4: probably I'm with you on that, there's a there's a
5:26
Speaker 4: goal for more content, and she would be one of
5:29
Speaker 4: the crown jewels to it, no doubt.
5:31
Speaker 2: You can get us on the nicolay lot dot com
5:32
Speaker 2: talking text one eight seven seven seven ninety four one
5:35
Speaker 2: ninety seven three, get you in yeah. If you heard
5:38
Speaker 2: Doug Russell's update. Davy Lobes passed yesterday. Dodgers legend former
5:43
Speaker 2: Brewers manager manager Brewers in two thousand, two thousand and
5:46
Speaker 2: one and for the first fifteen games of two thousand
5:48
Speaker 2: and two when they were three and twelve, when he
5:51
Speaker 2: was dismissed for Jerry Royster, his longtime buddy and bench coach,
5:56
Speaker 2: and the Burrs went on to lose one hundred and
5:57
Speaker 2: six games that season. The Davey Lopes era spanned, you know,
6:01
Speaker 2: the first years and into the park, into the new
6:04
Speaker 2: ballpark didn't work out. His overall record one for and
6:09
Speaker 2: one ninety five and one because the first game he
6:12
Speaker 2: managed was a tie opening day the rain. It was tied,
6:16
Speaker 2: and they played enough and all the stats counted except
6:19
Speaker 2: it was a tie.
6:20
Speaker 1: So it was like one of those like rare baseball ties.
6:24
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a bad omen if your coaching
6:27
Speaker 3: career starts with it.
6:28
Speaker 2: Well, we should have seen it as foreshadowing because that
6:30
Speaker 2: was the first game.
6:31
Speaker 1: And then when the All Star Game got.
6:33
Speaker 2: To Milwaukee two years later, that was a time tie also.
6:37
Speaker 2: But yeah, Davey was he was beloved in the game.
6:41
Speaker 2: He was one of those like hard heard charging players
6:44
Speaker 2: and stuff. But when he got to Milwaukee it didn't
6:46
Speaker 2: work out very well. He was a little bit prickly.
6:49
Speaker 2: I dealt with him on a daily basis. We had
6:52
Speaker 2: some Yeah, I was gonna say infamous run ins. You're
6:55
Speaker 2: the one that saw him on a day in and
6:57
Speaker 2: day out, basis. That job definitely wore on him. Huh yeah,
6:59
Speaker 2: And they weren't good and he wasn't used to losing.
7:02
Speaker 2: And after he left he never got another managing job.
7:04
Speaker 2: He was he coached around surface coaching, right. I mean,
7:08
Speaker 2: there's a jokes maybe he's I got to see when
7:11
Speaker 2: he started in the big leagues, but he's one of
7:13
Speaker 2: those guys.
7:13
Speaker 1: He was like a lifer. He was at the bumper.
7:15
Speaker 2: He was in the big leagues for forty some years,
7:18
Speaker 2: you know, as a player and then as a coach
7:21
Speaker 2: and manager.
7:22
Speaker 4: He started in the Dodgers organization back in seventy two.
7:27
Speaker 2: Major league debut was debut in like seventy two, part
7:30
Speaker 2: of those great the draft, incredible seven Draft, incredible Dodgers
7:35
Speaker 2: infields when they had Ron Say and Bill Russell and
7:38
Speaker 2: Davey Lopes and Steve Garvey. It was like that they
7:40
Speaker 2: were rock stars at that time. The Dodgers were a
7:44
Speaker 2: really good team back in those days. And so it
7:47
Speaker 2: didn't work out for him. We had some run ins.
7:49
Speaker 2: I remember there was one memorable game early in his
7:51
Speaker 2: tenure in Montreal, where I was in his office pregame.
7:55
Speaker 2: He started screaming at me for something I'd written it
7:57
Speaker 2: was like his first week as a manager.
7:59
Speaker 1: He didn't like something id and he's.
8:00
Speaker 2: Like, this is the way it's going to be and
8:02
Speaker 2: MF and me and he like got up and then
8:05
Speaker 2: just I was standing across, I'm standing by his desk
8:07
Speaker 2: and he's yelling at me. And then he just like
8:10
Speaker 2: got up and left to go get a sandwich or something,
8:12
Speaker 2: and I'm like, am I done?
8:13
Speaker 4: Here?
8:13
Speaker 2: Is he going to come back and yell at me?
8:15
Speaker 2: They had to go to the bathroom, Like, what did
8:17
Speaker 2: I leave you? I get the bathroom?
8:19
Speaker 1: Well, how long?
8:19
Speaker 2: I So I stood there awkwardly for a couple of
8:22
Speaker 2: minutes that felt like an hour, and then I just
8:24
Speaker 2: like left and like, okay, he dumped his bucket and
8:26
Speaker 2: now we're back to being normal again. Yeah, And he
8:30
Speaker 2: was real combative and prickly, and press conferences wasn't his
8:33
Speaker 2: best face of the franchise. Thing didn't go well and
8:37
Speaker 2: they weren't good, But he's been better under him.
8:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe could they have been as seventy three, eighty
8:45
Speaker 4: nine and one his first year, the second year sixty
8:47
Speaker 4: eight and ninety four. Yeah, first manager though of the
8:51
Speaker 4: team that I like cognitively remember being the intro guy
8:56
Speaker 4: like the first one that I remember going to games
8:59
Speaker 4: and hearing av Lopes as the manager of the Brewers,
9:02
Speaker 4: and obviously a very very short one at that. But
9:06
Speaker 4: you start to wonder, Drew, and you start looking back
9:08
Speaker 4: at more of those teams. Now, sadly you don't have
9:10
Speaker 4: to look back at it. You remember the roster because
9:11
Speaker 4: you were around it every day.
9:12
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the other there's.
9:15
Speaker 4: Jobs that are set up that you know, somebody's gonna
9:17
Speaker 4: have to do managing those teams.
9:19
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have to do it. I don't know anybody.
9:21
Speaker 4: Who's gonna have a whole lot of success, but you're
9:23
Speaker 4: right when you set it up with that backdrop and
9:25
Speaker 4: that his way of approaching it. Now, it's a heck
9:29
Speaker 4: of a lot different dugout culture that you have with
9:32
Speaker 4: a lifer baseball guy like Murph nowadays, that you have
9:35
Speaker 4: to have if you're gonna be dealing with today's athlete.
9:37
Speaker 2: The Brewers have had twenty managers, like even counting guys
9:40
Speaker 2: who did like Roy McMillan did two games in nineteen
9:43
Speaker 2: seventy two finished at one on one right. Twenty managers
9:47
Speaker 2: with records Davy lops Is and Murph is obviously active,
9:52
Speaker 2: and so he's got the best I think winning percentage.
9:55
Speaker 2: But Davy Lops is like fourteenth of the twenty with
9:59
Speaker 2: a four to twenty five I have winning percentage, and
10:02
Speaker 2: so he's not particularly remembered fondly in these parts. He's
10:06
Speaker 2: down there with like Renee Latchman, Alex Grammas, Dave Bristol,
10:10
Speaker 2: Joe Schultzo managed that first year in Seattle, and then
10:13
Speaker 2: Jerry Royster took over that team and it was just
10:15
Speaker 2: the last summer. Jerry Royster piloted them to a fifty
10:18
Speaker 2: three and ninety four record in roots of their only
10:20
Speaker 2: one hundred lost season.
10:22
Speaker 4: That year in two thousand and two, and Jerry Royster
10:24
Speaker 4: fell on the Doc Rivers saying, yeah, this is gonna
10:27
Speaker 4: be my last.
10:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way that we ended up going.
10:31
Speaker 2: Jerry so yeah, and it just didn't work out. And
10:36
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't go have any animus. I don't
10:38
Speaker 2: think Davey was a particular. He wasn't exactly a member
10:41
Speaker 2: of the Drew Wilson fan club. He didn't like Harder
10:43
Speaker 2: Court much either. All we did was report what was
10:45
Speaker 2: going on. Yeah you had I saw him a couple
10:48
Speaker 2: of times after his tenure here, and it was a
10:51
Speaker 2: little bit icy.
10:52
Speaker 4: It's like, well, sorry about it, man, there, you're doing well.
10:56
Speaker 4: Your teams were now winning.
10:58
Speaker 2: Can't think of anything I would do differently, right, all right,
11:00
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, well, were you there?
11:02
Speaker 1: Uh? Were you there?
11:04
Speaker 4: When he got into the upset comments about Ricky Henderson
11:10
Speaker 4: in two thousand and one, Lops was the target of
11:12
Speaker 4: controversy following regards he made about stolen base king Ricky
11:15
Speaker 4: Henderson after he stole second base with the.
11:18
Speaker 1: Padres up seven runs.
11:19
Speaker 4: Lope said it was a violation of the unwritten rules
11:21
Speaker 4: against just showing up the opposing team. Lopes was quoted
11:25
Speaker 4: he was going on his ass. We were going to
11:28
Speaker 4: drill him. This is despite Henderson being removed as a
11:31
Speaker 4: pinch runner after the steel Lope said, somebody might be
11:35
Speaker 4: might not be as lenient as I was, and drill
11:38
Speaker 4: the hitter that's up next after him. At the day after,
11:42
Speaker 4: the Elias Sports Bureau produced a list of seven times
11:44
Speaker 4: during Lopes's playing career. Yeah, team leading up by seven
11:49
Speaker 4: runs or more. Yeah, they did the research.
11:52
Speaker 1: There's a tweet. The community notes, there's always a tweet, right,
11:57
Speaker 1: just just never fails. Yeah, And Davie like he had
12:01
Speaker 1: a stab.
12:02
Speaker 2: He had Dave Stewart, great baseball man, incredible picture. Uh
12:05
Speaker 2: as his pitching coach that didn't work out that great.
12:08
Speaker 1: Uh. Rod Carew was on that staff like as a
12:10
Speaker 1: hitting coach. The Hall of Famer.
12:12
Speaker 2: It was kind of a weird toxic you talk about
12:14
Speaker 2: a toxic clubhouse. It was like it wasn't a great
12:18
Speaker 2: it wasn't a great situation.
12:19
Speaker 4: Yet then No, now that that was that, there's there's
12:22
Speaker 4: only so much that you can ultimately say. And you
12:25
Speaker 4: know what, that's why as much as uh, there's a
12:28
Speaker 4: lot of great stories in the book that you and
12:31
Speaker 4: and Rock wrote, there's.
12:32
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot about that team. No.
12:34
Speaker 4: No, you know now that we've been getting into more
12:37
Speaker 4: and trying to expand the horizons of the the nap
12:40
Speaker 4: time instead of in the story time, instead of just
12:42
Speaker 4: Doctor Seuss books, I busted out that if these walls
12:45
Speaker 4: could talk. No, we got through about three paragraphs before
12:48
Speaker 4: it was like, this is a lot of words. That
12:49
Speaker 4: a lot of words. There's not a lot of pictures.
12:51
Speaker 4: And I appreciate that we have one Robin yacht picture.
12:54
Speaker 4: Maybe let's get some more. There's not a whole lot
12:56
Speaker 4: of paragraphs about these teams. No, rightfully, so there's not
13:00
Speaker 4: a lot in here. This might have been the vast
13:02
Speaker 4: ursion section. That might be where you get into more
13:04
Speaker 4: broadcasting conversation Brewers, new things, We're gonna be. We got
13:09
Speaker 4: off to like a rocky start in spring training. I
13:12
Speaker 4: remember asking Davy like they had Bruce had a catcher,
13:14
Speaker 4: backup catcher named Tyler Houston, and he's catching a third
13:17
Speaker 4: basement kind of utility guy, but mostly at that point
13:20
Speaker 4: was a catcher. And then I remember just asking him,
13:24
Speaker 4: I'm like, are you gonna It was towards the end
13:26
Speaker 4: of camp and I asked Tyler Houston had caught somebody.
13:29
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you gonna?
13:31
Speaker 2: Are you gonna set up a rotation where he catches
13:33
Speaker 2: the same guy every time through the rotation?
13:36
Speaker 1: And you know how that is, Like it's like, oh, this.
13:38
Speaker 2: Guy catching, you do that sometimes with your backup catcher.
13:40
Speaker 2: Every time this guy starts, the backup plays and a
13:42
Speaker 2: lot of times it's the day game getaway to da.
13:45
Speaker 2: Are you gonna pair him with anybody so that they
13:48
Speaker 2: and he's just like, what are you? Tyler Houston's agent
13:50
Speaker 2: trying to get him playing time, I'm like, no, I'm
13:53
Speaker 2: just asking because that seems like it's kind of standard
13:55
Speaker 2: practice now that you let the back in that way
13:57
Speaker 2: Catcher developer port with one pitcher, and it's kind of
13:59
Speaker 2: a standard He oh, he's gonna play that day, and
14:01
Speaker 2: it lets the other guy know that he's gonna get
14:03
Speaker 2: arrest and a lot of teams do that. And he's like,
14:05
Speaker 2: you look at our pitching staff, you think any of
14:06
Speaker 2: these guys deserve their own personal valet Catcher. I'm like,
14:10
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I don't say deserve, and I'm
14:12
Speaker 2: just asking if you're going to pair it, And so
14:15
Speaker 2: he challenged the question again and throw it back at me.
14:17
Speaker 2: I'm like, look, I'm just a douchebag trying to fill
14:19
Speaker 2: a notebook for the day.
14:23
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have an angle here.
14:25
Speaker 2: I'm not Tyler Houston's agent, and I don't I'm not
14:27
Speaker 2: trying to stump for when any of these guys being
14:29
Speaker 2: good enough to have their own personal Eddie Perez, Greg
14:32
Speaker 2: Greg Maddox Catcher relationship. I'm just saying a lot of
14:35
Speaker 2: times people have done this in the past, and it's
14:37
Speaker 2: kind of standard practice in the industry.
14:38
Speaker 1: Will you do that, or how do you decide when
14:41
Speaker 1: the guy plays? He's like, well, when I may gout
14:42
Speaker 1: to the lineup, I decide where he plays. All right, we're
14:45
Speaker 1: done here, there we go. Okay, that was the answer
14:48
Speaker 1: I got. That was yeah.
14:49
Speaker 2: So you know when Murph does dorky stuff like making
14:53
Speaker 2: guys introduce themselves or does stuff like that.
14:55
Speaker 1: It's better than the all. It's so much better.
14:58
Speaker 2: I love his mining for that little nugget like, look,
15:02
Speaker 2: we're all, we're all like the dog days of spring training.
15:05
Speaker 2: I'm just looking for a notebook item. Well, and isn't
15:08
Speaker 2: that asking like how are you gonna how is this
15:11
Speaker 2: gonna shape out?
15:11
Speaker 1: How often is this guy gonna play?
15:13
Speaker 4: What a genuine difference that that we've seen now and
15:16
Speaker 4: how it gets covered now, not only just because of
15:18
Speaker 4: you know, potential relationships that you have with with different
15:21
Speaker 4: people that are reporting it, but you get to know
15:24
Speaker 4: so much more about the stories and the people because
15:28
Speaker 4: no longer there still are certain guys. They're absolutely maybe
15:31
Speaker 4: more of them in football than any but uh Hunter
15:34
Speaker 4: and baseball. It definitely appears more of like you understand
15:37
Speaker 4: now the conduit that the media a lot more is
15:39
Speaker 4: to the fans.
15:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, like TMJ FOD just did a story at you know,
15:43
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy's whiffle ball yard or whatever, you know, right,
15:47
Speaker 3: And I don't think Davy Lopes would have been welcoming
15:49
Speaker 3: a TV station to that like it just it. I
15:52
Speaker 3: think part of that is the times, but part of
15:54
Speaker 3: that is also the person and and Pat Murphy is
15:57
Speaker 3: is unique in that way. There are you know, there
16:01
Speaker 3: are levels to the amount that coaches and managers are
16:05
Speaker 3: going to give you. What I love about Pat Murphy
16:08
Speaker 3: is he respects the question you ask. And even if
16:11
Speaker 3: it's a question and he'll be short. Sometimes if you
16:14
Speaker 3: ask a question and his answer is less than ten
16:16
Speaker 3: seconds long, you probably know that wasn't the best question.
16:18
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to talk about that, but he's not
16:20
Speaker 3: going to tell you that explicitly. You just know that
16:23
Speaker 3: that's that's the answer, and you move on. But there's
16:26
Speaker 3: managers and coaches that go out of their way to
16:29
Speaker 3: show you that they're perturbed with you. And I just
16:31
Speaker 3: don't think that's unless you know that reporters violating continuously,
16:36
Speaker 3: I don't think it's necessarily necessary to do that.
16:40
Speaker 2: I'm with you eight seven seven seven nine to four
16:43
Speaker 2: one ninety seven three gets you into Nicolay Lottoc.
16:46
Speaker 1: I'm talking Texas. So today this is a.
16:48
Speaker 2: Bigger So it was a bigger story in Dodgerville than
16:50
Speaker 2: in Milwaui.
16:51
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.
16:52
Speaker 2: He spent many years with the Dodgers and is revered there,
16:55
Speaker 2: whereas Milwaukee he was just here for a couple of years.
16:57
Speaker 2: They weren't very successful, and it's like he's he's basically
17:00
Speaker 2: the Brewers.
17:00
Speaker 4: Lindy, how would you have liked to have to go
17:03
Speaker 4: and ask Davey Lopes a question on what he thought
17:05
Speaker 4: of the new City connect uniforms that are dropping today?
17:08
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, that's nine am to day.
17:10
Speaker 4: Yeah right, I mean like that, How happy are you
17:13
Speaker 4: that that's not the story that you have to ask?
17:14
Speaker 1: Hey, what do you expect?
17:15
Speaker 4: What do you think about these fifteen games that you're
17:17
Speaker 4: gonna wear these new jerseys that resemble beautiful sunset tomorrow? Yeah,
17:22
Speaker 4: he's gonna have something good for Yeah, he's gonna he's
17:24
Speaker 4: gonna pay.
17:25
Speaker 1: I know the reveal is today, but there's a good chance.
17:28
Speaker 1: You've already seen a good chance.
17:30
Speaker 4: So now again, it was the picture very flattering. That's
17:36
Speaker 4: what I want to know, because the picture that my
17:38
Speaker 4: man posted on the leak. It's a weird angle. The
17:41
Speaker 4: lighting's kind of off. I'm excited to see how it
17:44
Speaker 4: fully lays.
17:45
Speaker 1: Out, right.
17:46
Speaker 3: How does it look on Abner Rebay? How does it
17:48
Speaker 3: look on Christian Yelich? How does it look on Luis
17:51
Speaker 3: rend Heathe. I think then we can understand.
17:53
Speaker 1: Okay, so somebody saw the video, Well, there was a
17:56
Speaker 1: there was a great teas good teaser.
17:59
Speaker 4: You can see Abner looking through and looking to the sunset.
18:02
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna give it a chance. Yes, I'm gonna
18:06
Speaker 4: give it a chance. And I'm actually gonna go to
18:08
Speaker 4: the team store to day to look at it in person, Okay, right,
18:10
Speaker 4: because I want to see what it actually.
18:12
Speaker 1: Looks like in person.
18:13
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm ready to be slightly disappointed.
18:17
Speaker 1: Sure.
18:17
Speaker 4: I think my favorite part is when it does say
18:20
Speaker 4: city connect That is that's the That's the one part
18:25
Speaker 4: that's gonna be difficult, because I don't know how much
18:28
Speaker 4: it's gonna connect with a lot of the actual metropolitan part.
18:31
Speaker 1: Well, listen, we're the State's team. Yeah, I'm down for.
18:34
Speaker 4: The I'm down for the Brewers trying to build into
18:37
Speaker 4: and lay into a lot more guys of being Wisconsin's team,
18:41
Speaker 4: not only just Milwaukee's team, because we want everybody to
18:46
Speaker 4: cheer for the Brewers, just like we want to make
18:47
Speaker 4: cheer for the Books.
18:48
Speaker 1: We want everybody to cheer for the Badgers. We want
18:49
Speaker 1: to be the same.
18:50
Speaker 2: But this is where I look and kudos to the
18:53
Speaker 2: timber Rattlers utter tuggers, you know, and to all the
18:56
Speaker 2: minor league teams that come up with these creative things,
18:58
Speaker 2: because nobody on no says Wisco.
19:02
Speaker 4: No one, no one, not one, maybe not outside of
19:05
Speaker 4: maybe don't know.
19:06
Speaker 2: Maybe people who went to Wisconsin Lutheran, they might call
19:09
Speaker 2: it that.
19:10
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
19:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, Wisconsin Lutheran High School in college, that's Wisco.
19:15
Speaker 1: Other than that, that is not a thing. It's the same.
19:18
Speaker 4: It's the San Fran or the Frisco of Wisconsin. Now
19:22
Speaker 4: maybe San Francisco.
19:25
Speaker 2: No one says San fran Not a sing says Frisco.
19:28
Speaker 2: And no one in Boston says bean Town.
19:30
Speaker 1: Ever.
19:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just don't I don't know anybody that's ever
19:35
Speaker 4: used Wisco. Calling it wiscon in terms of Wisconsin. But
19:39
Speaker 4: I'm excited for maybe the Brewers to make it a thing. Well,
19:42
Speaker 4: they're gonna try they're gonna try try to make it happen.
19:45
Speaker 1: Let's go.
19:45
Speaker 4: I'm proud of that for trying something. Let's go take
19:48
Speaker 4: a swing.
19:49
Speaker 2: And make the name being a different color away. And
19:53
Speaker 2: it looks orange. It looks like a Mets alternate, it looks.
19:57
Speaker 1: Like a Mets.
19:58
Speaker 4: The biggest one is I just don't want it to
20:00
Speaker 4: look blue and orange bears blueing.
20:02
Speaker 1: Exactly that even Carol Pio's blue or thank you Drew.
20:06
Speaker 1: I mean, we could have figured this thing out. We
20:07
Speaker 1: got there there, you be a lot better.
20:10
Speaker 4: I'm just saying the next time, just let us look
20:12
Speaker 4: at it first before you give it to you know,
20:14
Speaker 4: some random guy to tweet out.
20:15
Speaker 2: I lost the I lost the part of fandom where
20:19
Speaker 2: I care that much about uniforms and stuff. Just don't No,
20:22
Speaker 2: I don't, but I will say the light blue, the
20:25
Speaker 2: powder blues that they've been wearing and stuff. You gotta
20:28
Speaker 2: match the pants, thank you with the gray. It just doesn't.
20:31
Speaker 2: A man, that's not a good look.
20:33
Speaker 1: No, it's really just it's really not.
20:35
Speaker 4: And I want to be a fan of all the
20:37
Speaker 4: guys look like, go all in, go full powder blue,
20:40
Speaker 4: and I don't know, maybe maybe get a little magic
20:42
Speaker 4: out of it. You watch the full Powder Blues. It
20:45
Speaker 4: helped the Phillies actually win a game against the Dodgers.
20:47
Speaker 1: In the playoffs last year. Yeah true, So maybe we
20:49
Speaker 1: do that and then maybe we can losing five games.
20:52
Speaker 4: So you's got to build some of this stuff up
20:54
Speaker 4: to try to get yourself in, manufacture some good wins
20:56
Speaker 4: and win when we come back.
20:58
Speaker 2: Scott Dolphin is going to join us from the Country
21:00
Speaker 2: Station on the Hall. He's our halftime correspondent. We'll make
21:03
Speaker 2: our adjustments. We'll try to give him some good sound
21:05
Speaker 2: bites because halftime for those walk off interviews at halftime
21:08
Speaker 2: are hit and miss. Not Dolph, he always hits. You're
21:11
Speaker 2: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Some Bill Schmid
21:16
Speaker 2: Hunter is in for armor today and it's halftime of
21:18
Speaker 2: our show. We get Scott Dolphin from the Country Station
21:21
Speaker 2: on the Hall.
21:21
Speaker 1: Hello, Dolph, I Drew Friday.
21:23
Speaker 2: The I just watched the ceremonial first tea shots and
21:27
Speaker 2: for all the backlash the Master's guy yesterday with the
21:30
Speaker 2: par three and Kelsey and Kevin Hart AND's like, this
21:32
Speaker 2: isn't a guess, so we don't need this crap.
21:34
Speaker 1: Then there's that and they go back.
21:36
Speaker 2: It's the ninetieth tournament and they have the old guys
21:38
Speaker 2: hit the te shots and that's cool.
21:40
Speaker 5: That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. The par three is that's
21:43
Speaker 5: also been around a long time, right it has. Yeah,
21:46
Speaker 5: I know Darius Rucker is a big deal down in
21:48
Speaker 5: that park. He grew up in South Carolina, so I
21:51
Speaker 5: know he goes to a gust a lot and he's
21:52
Speaker 5: a big part of that par three. But I kind
21:54
Speaker 5: of like it when the celebs get involved to see
21:57
Speaker 5: that a lot of times they're no better than us
21:59
Speaker 5: when it comes to golf. I think I lived in,
22:02
Speaker 5: you know, outside Monterey for a long time, so I'd
22:03
Speaker 5: always go to the at and t pro am and
22:05
Speaker 5: there you get everybody that wants to play that thing,
22:08
Speaker 5: including some really bad golfers.
22:10
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and then people that really do believe that
22:13
Speaker 4: they're pretty solid people.
22:14
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be playing Pebble Beach.
22:15
Speaker 2: But some of those guys can really sling it at
22:17
Speaker 2: the stick, like Jack Wagner, the general hospital guy.
22:20
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like a scratch at forever.
22:22
Speaker 5: I mean, the hockey guys and yeah, yeah, Grant Fewer
22:25
Speaker 5: is always a great in country music, we've always had
22:28
Speaker 5: some great Vince gildahell of a golfer. There's a lot
22:30
Speaker 5: of really good golfers, you know, low handicappers.
22:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, that pel ken Casey from Dropkick Murphy's takes his
22:36
Speaker 2: clubs on the road and he's made it his mission
22:39
Speaker 2: to play every one of the golf di just top
22:41
Speaker 2: one hundred courses and he's at like.
22:44
Speaker 1: Eighty that he's has impressed shipped off a lot of them.
22:47
Speaker 5: Man, he's yeah, I mean you'd have to play a
22:49
Speaker 5: lot to be that good, right, Yeah, definitely, definitely, And
22:52
Speaker 5: that's that's conducive.
22:54
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Masters I love watching on TV. It's
22:56
Speaker 2: just so soothing. It's just it's a it's a rite
22:59
Speaker 2: of spring for me, it is.
23:01
Speaker 5: But you have to have that voice in the background, right,
23:03
Speaker 5: Vern Lundquist and Jim Nantz, guys like that.
23:05
Speaker 4: See you hit it on the head, it does not
23:07
Speaker 4: Uckly Ivory doesn't hit the same without Vern. Vern is
23:10
Speaker 4: the Vern is one of the old voices that all
23:14
Speaker 4: different don't. And I love Brad lust Nessler on on
23:18
Speaker 4: CBS Football, but nothing matched when Vern would be welcoming
23:22
Speaker 4: you in for Saturday Afternoon.
23:24
Speaker 5: It's true a lot of those are the voices you
23:25
Speaker 5: grew up with, right, Uncle Vern's two a different class
23:30
Speaker 5: for Drew and I was probably somebody different. I mean
23:32
Speaker 5: Vern Lanquist was there when we were two. But yeah,
23:36
Speaker 5: Chris Schenkel remember him. You have one of those soothing voices.
23:41
Speaker 5: Jim McKay, you know the guy who did the Wide
23:43
Speaker 5: World of Sports, The agony of defeat.
23:45
Speaker 1: That guy.
23:45
Speaker 5: There's just been so many great sports broadcasters over the year.
23:48
Speaker 5: You we talk about the times they are a change
23:51
Speaker 5: in as was famously sung by that guy.
23:53
Speaker 1: From Hitting Minnesota.
23:55
Speaker 2: This is the first Masters since nineteen ninety four with
23:58
Speaker 2: no Tiger and no Phil Mickels.
23:59
Speaker 1: Weird, Yeah, weird.
24:01
Speaker 2: And so you're looking at the NBA with when when
24:04
Speaker 2: you don't have Lebron and Steph Like, I'm sick of
24:07
Speaker 2: those guys. You know, that's six years when they were
24:09
Speaker 2: playing each other in the finals every year. Now it's like, oh,
24:13
Speaker 2: this is different, Like it's like we've lost that. And
24:16
Speaker 2: talk about announcers being the change now. Scottie Scheffler, who
24:19
Speaker 2: is America's soccer dad. Yeah, Heim's an assassin on the course.
24:24
Speaker 2: He is poised to do great things, but it it's
24:27
Speaker 2: going to take an adjustment, and that is used to
24:29
Speaker 2: not having Phil and Tiger.
24:31
Speaker 5: Like like Bird and Magic. You know, we wondered who
24:34
Speaker 5: was going to fill their shoes. Of course Michael came along.
24:36
Speaker 5: I guess there's all and and and the world of
24:38
Speaker 5: golf is in pretty damn good shape, I would say,
24:40
Speaker 5: right now, it's become such an incredible not that it
24:43
Speaker 5: hasn't always been a great international game, but now, I mean,
24:46
Speaker 5: I just love the rivalries, and the Ryder Cup is
24:50
Speaker 5: next level.
24:51
Speaker 1: Er Cup's great rory.
24:53
Speaker 2: You got this Live Tour cloud kind of that still
24:55
Speaker 2: gives a little bit of the rivalry feel to it.
24:58
Speaker 1: Yep.
24:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, Randall Shambli had that great line Yesterday's like, I
25:00
Speaker 2: don't care about the Live Tour more people watch pickleball.
25:03
Speaker 4: Well yeah, because I listen. I don't know anybody watches
25:05
Speaker 4: the CW. But you look at some of their events
25:08
Speaker 4: around the world, at these places that otherwise the PGA
25:11
Speaker 4: Tour just wouldn't go to, they're having really really good
25:14
Speaker 4: in stadium and in our en course attendance marks and shorts.
25:18
Speaker 4: It's fascinating from that side. You can wear your cargo
25:20
Speaker 4: shorts if you want, Billy, you can and golf you
25:22
Speaker 4: can also, I'm excited to figure out how they go
25:25
Speaker 4: on with live golf once the Roman numeral of live
25:29
Speaker 4: is no longer.
25:29
Speaker 1: How many holes they play?
25:30
Speaker 4: Right, Like, there's certain things that I'm excited to see.
25:33
Speaker 4: Maybe we get a PI to go and investigate those conversations.
25:36
Speaker 5: I just I don't like watching a golf tournament where
25:39
Speaker 5: you can see interstate traffic or streets in the back.
25:43
Speaker 5: You know, there's nobody standing there, so you're watching, you know,
25:47
Speaker 5: trucks and cars go by. I'm like, Ah, that's just
25:49
Speaker 5: a distraction to me. I mean, well, I might as
25:51
Speaker 5: well be playing it at Westmore.
25:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, you hit over at New Berland Hills. Well,
25:55
Speaker 4: does anything wrong with wes Moore? I was Drew and
25:59
Speaker 4: I kind of both agreed though that as much as
26:01
Speaker 4: we'll watch this weekend, this might beat all of the
26:04
Speaker 4: golf watching time spent watching the rest of the year
26:07
Speaker 4: that I'll have for the rest of the year. Yeah,
26:08
Speaker 4: probably watch more Masters than I will any other tournament combined.
26:12
Speaker 5: Scotty Scheffler touched on that yesterday. So if you grew
26:15
Speaker 5: up a golfer and grew up a kid in America,
26:17
Speaker 5: that's the one that's that's the one you want to
26:19
Speaker 5: play it, or that's the one as a fan you
26:21
Speaker 5: want to try to attend.
26:22
Speaker 1: Some day.
26:22
Speaker 2: I might watch more of the Sunday Masters than I
26:25
Speaker 2: do every other tournament combined the rest.
26:27
Speaker 1: Of the year.
26:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, even just Sunday Sunday, because like I'll be too,
26:30
Speaker 2: I'll be diled in today.
26:31
Speaker 1: I love the Masters.
26:32
Speaker 5: Probably British Open, the Open Championship as they call it, it
26:35
Speaker 5: would probably be second in my list. I just love
26:37
Speaker 5: watching those guys struggle with the elements and those ancient
26:40
Speaker 5: courses that are that look like, you know, the backside
26:44
Speaker 5: of the dark side of the moon. Sometimes Open Championships
26:46
Speaker 5: good for us because we can have it on TV.
26:47
Speaker 1: Here. I was just gonna say, wake up on we
26:50
Speaker 1: wake up early Saturday and Sunday.
26:51
Speaker 4: Anyway that might be that might beat it this year,
26:54
Speaker 4: just because of the awake hours of the viewing time,
26:58
Speaker 4: that's right.
26:59
Speaker 5: I just love seeing the whereing you know, rain gear
27:01
Speaker 5: and deal with forty nine winds.
27:03
Speaker 4: Well that's the other part here. Now I'm seeing fifty
27:05
Speaker 4: four degrees. Now it looks like it's gonna get hot
27:07
Speaker 4: throughout the weekend. It's gonna be beautiful and.
27:09
Speaker 1: It's been really dry, so the course is gonna be
27:11
Speaker 1: a bear again.
27:12
Speaker 4: It is just like the enjoyment for me is always
27:15
Speaker 4: looking and saying, okay, so there is green somewhere that
27:19
Speaker 4: is nice somewhere. It is going to get nice here
27:24
Speaker 4: at some time. It's like a beautiful forecast into the future.
27:27
Speaker 4: All Right, we're gonna turn the corner. Because there's already
27:30
Speaker 4: greenery and trees buzzed all over the place.
27:33
Speaker 1: It was weird for us.
27:34
Speaker 5: We drove to West Virginia last week and there's green
27:36
Speaker 5: grass and bugs everywhere. I thought, Oh, I guess this
27:38
Speaker 5: is gonna be coming our way in a couple of weeks.
27:40
Speaker 1: We hope, we hope.
27:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a fair point. That's a fair point because
27:43
Speaker 4: we want to we want to be out on the
27:46
Speaker 4: water enjoying a beautiful Whisko sunset, a beautiful whisk Go day,
27:52
Speaker 4: and a beautiful Whisko sunset out on those on those
27:54
Speaker 4: beautiful Whisko waters.
27:55
Speaker 1: Playing golf tonight. Ooh okayh yeah.
27:59
Speaker 5: They're allowing carts out a lot of Milwaukee County courses.
28:01
Speaker 5: So that's the thing for me and my guys. That's
28:03
Speaker 5: your line in the sand. If you can ride, we're there.
28:05
Speaker 5: If you can't ride, we'll see you in a couple
28:07
Speaker 5: of weeks. I love And about half of them, God,
28:10
Speaker 5: about half the Milwaukee County courses allow golf carts right now.
28:14
Speaker 1: Uh and then about half billy or can you actually
28:16
Speaker 1: ride in the fairway? Uh?
28:18
Speaker 5: Summer cart path only. But you know the thing about
28:21
Speaker 5: Milwaukee County courses not that many of them have golf
28:23
Speaker 5: cart paths.
28:26
Speaker 1: Only a few of them do, so uh good. Yes,
28:28
Speaker 1: they don't have.
28:29
Speaker 4: Super fancy carts that yell at you when you're in
28:31
Speaker 4: the spot. See. And that's also a level for me.
28:34
Speaker 4: Even though I love going on a course that I'm
28:36
Speaker 4: not supposed to be on. That's one of the key
28:39
Speaker 4: indicators of Oh, I can't drive up a little bit
28:41
Speaker 4: closer and you're gonna yell at me where I'm at.
28:43
Speaker 4: This place might be a little too nice for me. Yeah,
28:46
Speaker 4: maybe maybe I need to go back over to Whitnell
28:48
Speaker 4: Parks and get back into a comfortable.
28:50
Speaker 5: Love Witnell Park. By the way, but they're not allowing
28:52
Speaker 5: carts right now. The rangers would come after you at
28:54
Speaker 5: some of these courses around here, they're not allowing carts yet.
28:58
Speaker 5: Witnell has a lot of low spot.
29:00
Speaker 1: Oh that's fair. Yeah, so that was up and down.
29:03
Speaker 2: You're definitely needing a card for that one, right, I
29:05
Speaker 2: give golf credit playing around of golf on April ninth.
29:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, fifty eight degrees this afternoon. Yeah,
29:12
Speaker 5: will you throw them?
29:13
Speaker 4: Will you throw the gloves on in between shots? Or
29:15
Speaker 4: will you just put it into the pouch and have
29:17
Speaker 4: it warmed up? The gloves will stay on.
29:19
Speaker 1: You know.
29:20
Speaker 5: I got the winter gloves, which are basically not much
29:22
Speaker 5: different than the summer gloves, but they are a little
29:24
Speaker 5: bit thicker, warmer. I don't think i'll need those two.
29:27
Speaker 5: Are you a too love golfer? Golf only in the winter,
29:29
Speaker 5: only when it's really cool? Yeah, yeah, I don't understand
29:32
Speaker 5: why more people are too glove golfer. You know, you
29:34
Speaker 5: grew up playing baseball and softball gloves.
29:38
Speaker 4: I actually, the first time I went out golfing to
29:40
Speaker 4: a golf lesson that I had when I was a kid,
29:44
Speaker 4: I wore my batting gloves. Now, I've been mercilessly laughed
29:47
Speaker 4: at at certain times in my life. I don't know
29:50
Speaker 4: one beat that moment when I busted out the rawlings
29:53
Speaker 4: batting gloves to be able to line up at the
29:56
Speaker 4: first tea when I was five years old over there
29:58
Speaker 4: in Skeigo Lakes. That was that was a berating that
30:01
Speaker 4: I probably deserve.
30:02
Speaker 1: You have the helmet onto. I thought about it. No,
30:04
Speaker 1: I thought about it. But did you dig in on
30:06
Speaker 1: the tea box? I put the hand out of single time.
30:10
Speaker 1: I didn't know what.
30:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes the golf world gets a bit pretentious, doesn't it.
30:16
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not a good enough golfer to where
30:18
Speaker 2: it would matter if I wear a glove or not.
30:20
Speaker 1: So I just don't.
30:22
Speaker 5: Oh, I like that, Just let it go, go on
30:23
Speaker 5: that churrell. I don't want to get the blisties. You know,
30:26
Speaker 5: these hands don't do a lot of manual labor.
30:28
Speaker 1: That's the problem.
30:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a good callous Come on, Billy, you're in
30:33
Speaker 2: the weight room. You're wearing gloves, the fingerless gloves to
30:36
Speaker 2: you know potent.
30:37
Speaker 1: You like that neural bar in your hand.
30:39
Speaker 4: No, but you get you better believe I had as
30:41
Speaker 4: much baby powder and chocer. These babies are soft, midst Drew.
30:46
Speaker 4: I gotta make sure that I'm I gotta make sure
30:48
Speaker 4: that I'm ready if I ever do get a five
30:50
Speaker 4: yard out. I had to make sure that I was
30:52
Speaker 4: ready to catch the rock if that ever ended up happening.
30:55
Speaker 4: And I just got to make sure that I protect
30:56
Speaker 4: these sons of guns because I'm always just trying to
30:59
Speaker 4: swing through the ball and trying to hit it as
31:02
Speaker 4: hard as possible. So I'm gripping that bad grip and
31:04
Speaker 4: by about whole four there might be some blood because
31:08
Speaker 4: of how if I don't have a glove on there.
31:10
Speaker 1: Yeah. I used to be like that as well. But
31:12
Speaker 1: you know, then I decided, you.
31:13
Speaker 5: Know, I started playing well oh yeah, well yeah, well,
31:16
Speaker 5: well for me, now, in all your softball days, were
31:20
Speaker 5: you were you try hard, Johnny, try hard?
31:23
Speaker 1: Sliding in shorts?
31:24
Speaker 5: Guy, I was at the beginning of my career until
31:27
Speaker 5: I was picking rocks out of my legs in the showers. Yeah,
31:30
Speaker 5: you know, because we're not playing on Major League Baseball
31:32
Speaker 5: in fields here, you know what I'm saying. And then
31:35
Speaker 5: I decided no more of that. So I think, at
31:37
Speaker 5: like thirty years old, I stopped.
31:38
Speaker 1: I learn.
31:39
Speaker 2: You learn quickly. It's like, all right, am I going
31:41
Speaker 2: to do this? Like I'm gonna slide in a softball game.
31:44
Speaker 2: It's a tournament and then you get that that.
31:47
Speaker 1: Raspberry on your leg. Yeah huh.
31:49
Speaker 2: And if it's a tournament and it's all caked and
31:51
Speaker 2: dirt and you go have a couple of pops afterwards,
31:53
Speaker 2: you go to bed and wake up and the sheets
31:55
Speaker 2: are stuck to your wound.
31:56
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the thing and the thing. Wow, this is
31:58
Speaker 1: not good and it's going to ooze for the next
31:59
Speaker 1: two weeks. Yeah.
32:00
Speaker 5: I never wore pants when I played softball, just shorts.
32:04
Speaker 5: And because of that, I'm not sliding. You know, you know,
32:08
Speaker 5: yell at me if you want. I'm going to work
32:09
Speaker 5: tomorrow and I'm gonna feel good about I'm not slid.
32:11
Speaker 1: Yes, that is.
32:13
Speaker 2: I think that's a sign of adulthood when you give
32:15
Speaker 2: up that I don't need to slide here.
32:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:16
Speaker 4: I think it was my third My third softball game
32:18
Speaker 4: is about a twenty four year old, the youngest guy
32:21
Speaker 4: in the league, and I did a head first slide.
32:22
Speaker 1: Oh and uh.
32:23
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, you know what, that's never gonna
32:26
Speaker 4: happen again, Never gonna happen again. Send me up for
32:29
Speaker 4: the broken wrist. Please couches all through your their forearm

32:43
Speaker 2: Orthpedic Associates Wisconsin. There is a difference just trying to
32:45
Speaker 2: keep doctor Bottle Company in business.
32:47
Speaker 5: You know, when I first started in Milwaukee, I was
32:50
Speaker 5: in the media league with this. You know, we played
32:51
Speaker 5: in the Media League up at Dire Park on the
32:53
Speaker 5: northwest side, and that was that was some heated softball man.
32:56
Speaker 5: But I can't tell you how many guys, especially in
32:58
Speaker 5: April and May, we're pulling hammies or groins.
33:01
Speaker 2: Er all the time, all the time, all the time.
33:03
Speaker 2: In that league, it was vicious snipers everywhere.
33:06
Speaker 1: I didn't get a.
33:06
Speaker 4: Chance to see it, but I feel like I was
33:08
Speaker 4: at just about every game for how many stories I
33:11
Speaker 4: hear from Armine.
33:11
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Media.
33:12
Speaker 5: Softball League the Army played for TMJ fours play Jay
33:16
Speaker 5: Radio feels like a building.
33:18
Speaker 1: It feels like something that might need to get rekinned.
33:20
Speaker 2: And that's where you know the old story about when
33:23
Speaker 2: Herb Cole and bud Sea League were growing up in
33:25
Speaker 2: the sandlot and they had a championship game and it
33:28
Speaker 2: was the whole neighborhood was going to come watch their
33:30
Speaker 2: two teams play.
33:30
Speaker 1: They were like ten, eleven, twelve. Sea League shows up with.
33:33
Speaker 2: Like six, a six or four guy who hadn't been
33:36
Speaker 2: with them all year, and he had, you know, and
33:38
Speaker 2: they talk about herb says that Bud sheeted and brought
33:40
Speaker 2: in a ringer.
33:41
Speaker 1: It's like a kid just moved into the neighborhood. Whatever.
33:43
Speaker 2: That's what happened in the immediately, all of a sudden,
33:45
Speaker 2: there were production assistants, Oh, you had just gotten off.
33:47
Speaker 2: We had like college football guys like d one athletes like, oh.
33:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a custodian. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:54
Speaker 5: We were in the championship game almost there that I
33:56
Speaker 5: only played three or four years before I decided to
33:58
Speaker 5: have fun in softball and play with my buddies instead.
34:01
Speaker 5: But we were in the championship game every year, and
34:02
Speaker 5: it was always against KLH Laser at that time and
34:04
Speaker 5: the other and and it was funny. Neither team had
34:08
Speaker 5: more than four or five employees that actually worked.
34:11
Speaker 1: Nope, it became it was metastasized. Everybody's trying to win.
34:15
Speaker 5: And we had we had a dude named Nick who
34:17
Speaker 5: was who drove a truck for Coca Cola who hit
34:19
Speaker 5: moonshots to right field that are still probably still going.
34:22
Speaker 5: But he apparently was a V one hundred employee in
34:24
Speaker 5: our building here. He never stepped foot in this. It's
34:26
Speaker 5: never been here, no exactly. It got like everything else
34:29
Speaker 5: got competitive.
34:30
Speaker 1: And what time yon overnights? Yeah, yeah, he's an overnight guy.
34:35
Speaker 1: He's got to get to work. You can't go to
34:37
Speaker 1: the bar sleep, you can't listen anyway.
34:39
Speaker 5: And what's funny is that the guys that didn't work
34:42
Speaker 5: here were the biggest someone, were the biggest hotheads and
34:45
Speaker 5: were causing trouble.
34:46
Speaker 2: And the Bucks had a team in that league too.
34:48
Speaker 2: They yeah, yeah, yeah, guys and stuff.
34:51

Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was eight teams. You didn't really
35:05
Speaker 1: not a lot of rhyme or reason too.
35:07
Speaker 2: And then it sounds like something this got the whole thing?
35:10
Speaker 2: Did it implode? When Vince Metronto landed the helicopter and
35:12
Speaker 2: showed up in the helicopter from you know.
35:14
Speaker 5: Channel I remember that happening. No, I believe it went
35:17
Speaker 5: on after that. I don't know when it when it stopped.
35:20
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, he got suspended for that.
35:21
Speaker 2: By the way, he was doing like some traffic or
35:24
Speaker 2: an accident or something, and then he had the helicopter
35:26
Speaker 2: land a dire fields and.
35:27
Speaker 1: Drop them off. It's a great entrance. James Franklin. I
35:31
Speaker 1: think that's a winner. Yeah, total, James Franklin. Yeah he got.
35:33
Speaker 1: He got put on the two weeks suspension list for you. Yeah,

36:23
Speaker 2: manager patches a hula han, Pat.
36:26
Speaker 1: Murphy beautiful bringing us back.
36:28
Speaker 2: Burrs lose getaway game five to nothing to the Red Sox.
36:33
Speaker 2: They won the opener, lost the next two off today.
36:37
Speaker 2: They will face a six forty first pitch tomorrow against
36:40
Speaker 2: the Nationals.
36:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, good day to lick the wounds.
36:43
Speaker 4: Calm down, get back home and listen, get into a
36:46
Speaker 4: get into a hot tub, I mean, like warm up
36:48
Speaker 4: after the weekend.
36:49
Speaker 1: They Yeah, well, who's hot? Who's not?
36:51
Speaker 2: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling. Is
36:54
Speaker 2: it too early say the Brewers are not hot? They've
36:56
Speaker 2: lost two in a row for the first time this season.
36:58
Speaker 4: I don't know that I was gonna throw the entire
36:59
Speaker 4: team in there. Luis Renhifo Bucks sixty seven average, you
37:02
Speaker 4: was oh for four yesterday might be in the not category.
37:06
Speaker 4: I think the the hot part or the not hot
37:08
Speaker 4: part right there would be the health of the lineup
37:10
Speaker 4: that that Murph alluded to. Right there, you're looking at
37:13
Speaker 4: four of their most significant preseason offensive players, like if
37:18
Speaker 4: you're gonna pinpoint the guys that are gonna be producing
37:20
Speaker 4: for you, Jackson Curio and I mean we had a
37:23
Speaker 4: guy asking if Andrewvonn was gonna be a thirty homer
37:25
Speaker 4: guy during the during the offseason, and he's down for
37:28
Speaker 4: six to eight weeks. Like the on top of Bryce
37:32
Speaker 4: Terrang who is probably one of your best offensive players
37:35
Speaker 4: and controllers, being out yesterday just for the day. So
37:38
Speaker 4: it's that that lack of health on the offensive side.
37:41
Speaker 4: I don't think it's too surprising that they only came
37:44
Speaker 4: up with four hits yesterday, just a little bit more yeah,
37:46
Speaker 4: frustrating than anything.
37:47
Speaker 1: It is what it is. Who's hot? Who do you got? Well,
37:51
Speaker 1: who's hot?
37:51
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw Gran Anderson into the mix, because again,
37:54
Speaker 4: he came in yesterday one and two thirds in a
37:57
Speaker 4: tenuous spot in the game, kept him in the game.
37:59
Speaker 4: They had many opportunit unities to still win the game
38:02
Speaker 4: after that moment, but inning in the third, he feels
38:06
Speaker 4: like the full fire extinguisher that the Brewers are thrown
38:09
Speaker 4: out there and who's thankfully no longer as hot as
38:13
Speaker 4: they were. The Cincinnati Reds caught their first l in
38:15
Speaker 4: six games yesterday, who would be on the hot category
38:20
Speaker 4: as well?
38:21
Speaker 1: Drew page six.
38:22
Speaker 4: Because the the rumor mill was flirt was flowing yesterday
