2:29
Speaker 1: All right eight seven seven seven Nicolay Lot, I'm talking
2:32
Speaker 1: text on you get us your buyer sell propositions. You're
2:34
Speaker 1: buying or selling that you'd rather live through this heat
2:37
Speaker 1: wave than that cold snap of below zero weather with
2:40
Speaker 1: wind chills that are freakishly cold. Love when we do
2:43
Speaker 1: this in February, Love we do this, I give me
2:46
Speaker 1: the heat, always.
2:47
Speaker 2: Keep my energy consistent. I will absolutely agree on buying that.
2:52
Speaker 2: Anyone that tells me that that that they'd rather have
2:55
Speaker 2: it too cold and too hot.
2:56
Speaker 3: Deep down is lying and I don't care what anybody says.
2:59
Speaker 3: Come in at me. I know it's controversial.
3:01
Speaker 2: You're not being intellectually and honest with yourself because you
3:05
Speaker 2: can still operate in this heat. As uncomfortable as it is.
3:08
Speaker 2: There is some cold you just can't operate in. You
3:10
Speaker 2: just can't do anything. It's the extreme cold. I'm talking
3:13
Speaker 2: about zero, I'm talking about negative ten. When it's one
3:15
Speaker 2: hundred outside. It might not be comfortable, but you can
3:18
Speaker 2: still go in the pool. You can still go.
3:20
Speaker 1: I was next to the pool yesterday, didn't go in,
3:22
Speaker 1: but I just took a nap and outside much rather.
3:26
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's comfortable, but you rather have the heat.
3:29
Speaker 2: At least the sun goes down at night.
3:30
Speaker 1: We had a lot of It was a pleasant breeze
3:32
Speaker 1: last night. I just I was crashed. I was tired
3:34
Speaker 1: from the weekend. But summer night is very pleasant.
3:37
Speaker 2: I mean, there isn't one of the greatest pleasures in
3:40
Speaker 2: life in the summer evening breeze when it's.
3:41
Speaker 1: There's one for you. And this is an offshoot because
3:44
Speaker 1: it's a timeless one. Would you rather be hot or cold, right, sure,
3:47
Speaker 1: and when it gets to the extreme like this, because
3:49
Speaker 1: it's only gonna be like this for a week maybe too,
3:50
Speaker 1: just like in the winter we get like one week
3:52
Speaker 1: of disgustingly you know, polar vortex or whatever it is.
3:56
Speaker 3: Right, I believe by the weekend it's gonna be.
3:58
Speaker 1: We're supposed to. But it is because we went again,
4:01
Speaker 1: like we went from a bizarrely cold June to now
4:05
Speaker 1: we're on the dawn of being on to July, and
4:08
Speaker 1: now we're in the blast furnace, no middle ground, no
4:12
Speaker 1: ramp up. We didn't have a nice warm up period
4:14
Speaker 1: in the low eighties. We went right from like the
4:17
Speaker 1: sixties to sixties to seventies to ninety six to one hundred.
4:21
Speaker 1: So that's what's jarring. But here's my thing. Are you
4:24
Speaker 1: buying her selling Arman And this is a spinoff that
4:26
Speaker 1: might be a little bit more a conducive to conversation.
4:30
Speaker 1: Are you buying her selling that thermostat wars are more
4:34
Speaker 1: intense in the summer than they are in the winter.
4:37
Speaker 1: I walked into my stately oldso manner yesterday. My wife
4:40
Speaker 1: works from home, and it's like seventy five and I
4:44
Speaker 1: live in a condo building. My hallways like a cool
4:47
Speaker 1: sixty six, sixty seven. I walk into my place seven time.
4:49
Speaker 3: Late, stifling here.
4:50
Speaker 1: What the hell now if she's been in it all
4:53
Speaker 1: day and she gets cold.
4:54
Speaker 3: A lot, so she.
4:56
Speaker 1: Prefers it a little bit warm, I'm like, the first
4:58
Speaker 1: thing I did was knock this thing down seventy right,
5:01
Speaker 1: because I'm not sitting in this heat. Or come on,
5:04
Speaker 1: it felt sweltering in the place.
5:06
Speaker 3: Even down by the water.
5:08
Speaker 2: Huh it's still Yeah, yeah, I think they are because
5:12
Speaker 2: you know, you can much easier say to somebody, put
5:15
Speaker 2: a sweatshirt on, and all the back of your mind
5:16
Speaker 2: you're thinking about the cost all these I am of
5:18
Speaker 2: course you are all right now you're thinking about that,
5:21
Speaker 2: but you're also thinking about your own comfort. And for
5:23
Speaker 2: some people, yeah, they get too cold in the summer
5:27
Speaker 2: because of the ac.
5:28
Speaker 1: Some people we do dip, and you can dip. You
5:31
Speaker 1: have to have a cool room to sleep properly, especially
5:33
Speaker 1: when you work our hours.
5:35
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. I talked to him.
5:36
Speaker 1: So in the winter you like take cold terms that
5:38
Speaker 1: way down and shoot cold at night. So that's what
5:40
Speaker 1: we do with the AC makes it rough when you
5:42
Speaker 1: get up a little bit. It's a little jarring this summer.
5:47
Speaker 3: You know, you're thinking it's warm, I'm going to bed.
5:49
Speaker 2: You know, you might not wear a T shirt and
5:51
Speaker 2: you know, you get up when we do, and it's like, boy,
5:53
Speaker 2: it's freezing in here, but you know it's gonna be warm.
5:56
Speaker 3: It's that whole thing.
5:56
Speaker 2: It's all relative, right, when you come out of the
5:58
Speaker 2: heat into seventy two versus into seventies, you know, sixty eight,
6:03
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, but the thermostat wars do get pretty
6:06
Speaker 2: hairy this time of year because some people.
6:08
Speaker 3: Don't want to be too.
6:09
Speaker 2: They don't want me to quat obviously, but some people
6:12
Speaker 2: are like, whoa, whoa wa, well it's cool.
6:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
6:14
Speaker 1: Well, And that's the flip side of that, is your
6:15
Speaker 1: cheap skate argument is like keep it a little warmer
6:18
Speaker 1: now and a little colder in the winter.
6:20
Speaker 3: Now.
6:21
Speaker 1: That's one where I'd rather be cold and put on
6:22
Speaker 1: a hoodie or something than be hot in my own place.
6:26
Speaker 1: I just want to be comfortable, damn it. I'm with you,
6:28
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be tempted to drag an
6:30
Speaker 1: air mattress out into the hallway of my building because
6:33
Speaker 1: it's much cooler than my unit. Like, that's wrong. The
6:35
Speaker 1: common areas in the hallway are cooler than my place.
6:38
Speaker 1: It should at least be about the same, shouldn't it.
6:40
Speaker 3: Do you think that's some Uh? Yeah, absolutely? Do you
6:43
Speaker 3: think something because this is a little bit for me.
6:46
Speaker 2: Do you think some of us are scarred from our
6:48
Speaker 2: youth of dad saying don't touch the thermostat and they said,
6:52
Speaker 2: you know, when I grow up, I'm gonna have my
6:53
Speaker 2: own job and I'm gonna put whatever I want and
6:55
Speaker 2: not suffer colder in the heat.
6:58
Speaker 1: Having a window cracked when the air conditionings on, Oh
7:01
Speaker 1: my god, go absolutely go insane. That'd be like, well,
7:06
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to like, get off the phone. That's
7:09
Speaker 1: a long distance. It's costing more. This phone calls costing us,
7:12
Speaker 1: Like we don't costing us fifty cents a minute? What
7:15
Speaker 1: are you doing?
7:16
Speaker 4: Yeah?
7:16
Speaker 1: But yeah, but that thing, that whole thing about oh
7:19
Speaker 1: my god, the air condition has been on and this
7:22
Speaker 1: the screen door was open all day, Like we'll get
7:25
Speaker 1: over it.
7:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get through it. We'll get through it. It's
7:28
Speaker 3: like that.
7:28
Speaker 1: Even my wife would react that way too, because of
7:30
Speaker 1: the way we were raised.
7:31
Speaker 3: But it's like it's it's not that big adea. There
7:34
Speaker 3: is there is. There is car tissue.
7:37
Speaker 2: There is Like you, you are so nervous about it,
7:41
Speaker 2: thinking it was the absolute end of the world.
7:44
Speaker 1: Hey, why don't you come over tonight. We'll have sleepover.
7:46
Speaker 1: My parents are downstairs. Let's go in my room and
7:48
Speaker 1: the air condition's on. Let's open a window. Let's be
7:50
Speaker 1: rebellious and open a window. Like that's about it. Like
7:54
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, or close the door, Like
7:57
Speaker 1: if you're you're talking to somebody through the screen door,
7:59
Speaker 1: it's like close the door when I really.
8:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Well is it that big of a I said,
8:04
Speaker 2: when I grow up, I'm gonna get my own job
8:07
Speaker 2: and make my own money, so no one can tell
8:09
Speaker 2: me what I'm gonna put this.
8:11
Speaker 3: So and I realize I've.
8:12
Speaker 2: Just become like like I've just become that person.
8:15
Speaker 1: You've just become that person, all right? You are your parents?
8:18
Speaker 2: Paul uh from Kenosha it like it colder than hot. Unfortunately, he says, Hey,
8:22
Speaker 2: he has ms, so anything over seventy three with high
8:25
Speaker 2: due points, he becomes more tired and weak.
8:28
Speaker 3: Listen, I would agree with you.
8:29
Speaker 2: And obviously he has his reasons for it that are
8:32
Speaker 2: very important and serious.
8:33
Speaker 3: But I have the same issue at night.
8:36
Speaker 2: It is hard, for some reason, Drew to sleep in
8:39
Speaker 2: the same temperature you lived in all day. What is
8:41
Speaker 2: the phenomenon behind that? Well, I can live in seventy
8:45
Speaker 2: four all day, I could do it, but I can't
8:48
Speaker 2: sleep in that is it because of the blankets.
8:50
Speaker 3: The heat, the body.
8:52
Speaker 2: If you're sleeping in someb with somebody, man, you need
8:55
Speaker 2: it to be. It feels like you gotta have. And
8:57
Speaker 2: they say, studies say that people sleep better and it's cold.
9:00
Speaker 2: Then you always get those energy company ones. They're like,
9:02
Speaker 2: well put the heat, put the heat to put the
9:05
Speaker 2: a seat of seventy eight to save money. I'm like,
9:07
Speaker 2: you get a fat chance, brot chance. We're not living
9:10
Speaker 2: in the medieval time exactly.
9:11
Speaker 1: This is just want to be comfortable. I'm we make
9:14
Speaker 1: enough money to not worry about it and be comfortable.
9:16
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be a thing. Random gym on the talking
9:18
Speaker 1: text on my father in Law's eighty five. We have
9:20
Speaker 1: a lake home and Shano. The thermostat struggle is real.
9:23
Speaker 1: He is always cold.
9:25
Speaker 2: And usually I'm that person. That's that's what I Usually
9:28
Speaker 2: I'm cold. With my wife, Like that's always the issue
9:30
Speaker 2: for me. I'm like freezing in this house. But it's like,
9:33
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? You know, I'm not gonna
9:35
Speaker 2: win that battle. Let's see here, we have a lot
9:39
Speaker 2: of them on that text liner Tony Ben. Yeah, oh no,
9:43
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm looking at something else here. I'm all
9:45
Speaker 2: over the place here, oh Ben, Yes, I'm buying the
9:47
Speaker 2: heat man.
9:48
Speaker 3: I don't have to shovel it. I love that one.
9:50
Speaker 3: I love that one.
9:52
Speaker 2: You never get that in the argument for winter, like
9:55
Speaker 2: for the extreme cold over the extreme heat. Yes, there's
9:57
Speaker 2: extreme weather both ways, but I don't have to go
9:59
Speaker 2: out in this cold and shovel at the model lawn.
10:02
Speaker 3: But it's not, as you know, pressing of an issue.
10:05
Speaker 2: I can always wait till the cooler evening of the
10:07
Speaker 2: But like when you have to shovel it in the winter,
10:09
Speaker 2: when you have to deal with the snow and clear
10:13
Speaker 2: it and those type of things, yes, you don't have
10:15
Speaker 2: to shovel heat.
10:16
Speaker 3: And that's a great, great point.
10:18
Speaker 2: That's a great one for the for the extreme hot
10:21
Speaker 2: over the extreme cold argument.
10:22
Speaker 4: Yep.
10:23
Speaker 1: From the four one four. I'm not sure if y'
10:24
Speaker 1: all talked about the World Cup yet, but crazy that
10:26
Speaker 1: two top teams are out due to penalty kicks. Yes,
10:28
Speaker 1: that's why you got to be on the five o'clock
10:29
Speaker 1: Club or the sixth Club Cup. Yes we did, and
10:32
Speaker 1: we did. You gave it a good run with Dolph
10:33
Speaker 1: at halftime. But yes, it was crazy, and we talked
10:36
Speaker 1: about whether that's gimmicky or now people don't like it.
10:39
Speaker 1: There's the casuals. I think it's a great theater and
10:41
Speaker 1: it's fantastic and it's something you'll remember forever. The pain, well,
10:46
Speaker 1: the motto of the show ninety percent of being a
10:47
Speaker 1: sportsman is getting kicked in the nuts. And the pain
10:50
Speaker 1: for German fans, oh, had they had what would have
10:54
Speaker 1: been the go ahead goal taken away by replay.
10:57
Speaker 2: German fans and even the Dutch last night losing to Morocco.
10:59
Speaker 2: I mean, European soccer fans don't like this. They want
11:03
Speaker 2: everyone to know europe is the best. So two big
11:06
Speaker 2: upsets for European soccer last night, catastrophic for Germany to
11:10
Speaker 2: lose that again in that stage. Listen, if they're the
11:14
Speaker 2: pressures on these European teams don't fulfill their destiny and
11:16
Speaker 2: I don't know if they will. I would say this
11:20
Speaker 2: about the penalty kick thing, and yes, we've talked about it,
11:22
Speaker 2: so we'll bring it up again. I like it because
11:24
Speaker 2: you have to have a conclusion at some point. I
11:26
Speaker 2: think that drama is fun.
11:27
Speaker 3: I enjoy it.
11:28
Speaker 2: You can maybe extend overtime a little bit called called
11:31
Speaker 2: extra time. You can extend it, you know, a little bit.
11:34
Speaker 2: I think it's at what thirty minutes two to fifteen
11:36
Speaker 2: minute mini haves, but you have to end it somehow,
11:39
Speaker 2: And it's just scorings at such a premium in this
11:42
Speaker 2: game that it has to be done. So I don't
11:44
Speaker 2: mind it. I don't mind it at all. I know
11:46
Speaker 2: a lot of people do. I don't see why.
11:47
Speaker 3: I think it's the height of drama and excitement.
11:49
Speaker 1: When I watch penalty kicks and I'm struck by how
11:52
Speaker 1: big the goal is and how hard it is to
11:54
Speaker 1: defend them, I'm like, how is there not more scoring
11:56
Speaker 1: than this sport?
11:57
Speaker 3: The goal is huge, especially in the women's game.
11:59
Speaker 2: If you strike it perfectly to the corner, a very
12:03
Speaker 2: rare amount of women with female goaltenders will get to it.
12:06
Speaker 4: Now.
12:06
Speaker 3: I would say this too about penalty kicks and and uh,
12:11
Speaker 3: it's not really a shootout. They call penalty kicks. It's
12:13
Speaker 3: a shootout. I say shootout. It's wrong.
12:16
Speaker 2: Our best case, the best moment in the history of
12:18
Speaker 2: our soccer nation, a sporting soccer nation, came in penalty
12:23
Speaker 2: kicks the ninety nine World Cup. I still maintained that
12:27
Speaker 2: is the greatest win a aut mall. And I know
12:29
Speaker 2: the women have won the World Cup since then, but
12:31
Speaker 2: there was nothing more excitement, more inspiring, more legendary than
12:35
Speaker 2: that and that and that image and that kick and
12:38
Speaker 2: that team.
12:39
Speaker 1: They kind they caught the.
12:40
Speaker 2: Wave man and for one and they were the one
12:43
Speaker 2: team to win it all. It's like it's like, oh,
12:45
Speaker 2: the US team for soccer. It's like the men haven't
12:47
Speaker 2: done it, but the women did. And Brandy's kick lives
12:50
Speaker 2: in infamy Grade thirty for thirty on that by the way,
12:53
Speaker 2: And that team loved that story.
12:54
Speaker 3: That love it.
12:55
Speaker 1: Sports business took off.
12:57
Speaker 2: Brandy didn't even know she was fifth until they started kicking.
13:00
Speaker 2: She's I guess I'm fifth. She didn't realize. They said
13:02
Speaker 2: they were so exhausting that game was. That was a
13:04
Speaker 2: nil nil with China. It was so hot.
13:06
Speaker 3: They were at the Rosebowl in Pasadena. They were was
13:09
Speaker 3: so hot.
13:10
Speaker 1: Yep eight seven seven seven nine seven three. Time for

Speaker 1: residential commercial, they got you covered. Current Electriccall Current dot Com.
13:26
Speaker 1: The superheroes on the side of the van tell you
13:27
Speaker 1: that they're ready to help our Current Electric Superhero the Day.
13:31
Speaker 1: All right, Drew, we're spreading it out. We can have
13:34
Speaker 1: more than one, but this is more than one. Everybody
13:37
Speaker 1: who made the pilgrimage yesterday to the south side of Milwaukee,
13:41
Speaker 1: I'm forty first in Oklahoma or whatever that was Blessed
13:43
Speaker 1: Sacrament Catholic Church to make donations to help William Caturas
13:47
Speaker 1: and Jackson Cherio and Nesta Corridor and on Halsurpa raise
13:51
Speaker 1: money and awareness and supplies for the earthquake relief in Venezuela.
13:57
Speaker 1: How wonderful is that it's going on all week and
13:59
Speaker 1: you can still do it. You can donate online as
14:01
Speaker 1: well business hours. You can go make a donation a
14:04
Speaker 1: Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. But a lot of people did
14:06
Speaker 1: it yesterday and the players showed up a lot of
14:09
Speaker 1: players and just cool, like when things like that, they're
14:12
Speaker 1: looking for nonperishables. They're looking for tents like air mattresses
14:16
Speaker 1: like whatever you get, sleeping bags, like stuff for people
14:18
Speaker 1: who have been displaced, water, toiletries. It seemed like supplies
14:23
Speaker 1: that they need for just devastation.
14:26
Speaker 2: All necessary, awesome doing the Lord's work, just in the
14:29
Speaker 2: church basement to look like and what all the images
14:31
Speaker 2: I saw from that drew the pictures people had and
14:34
Speaker 2: it seemed that it was really truly the players you
14:38
Speaker 2: wanted to help out.
14:39
Speaker 3: It wasn't like they were there to do a public appearance.
14:41
Speaker 2: It was there they're ready to work, which I was
14:43
Speaker 2: found very inspiring because you know, it would have been
14:46
Speaker 2: great anyway if they know, you know, it is when
14:48
Speaker 2: there's a public appearance and the players show up and
14:50
Speaker 2: they take pictures in front of us, step and repeat,
14:53
Speaker 2: and they wear their jerseys and stuff. No, this was
14:55
Speaker 2: this Abner and a T shirt I saw was there
14:58
Speaker 2: carrying boxes.
15:00
Speaker 3: Rice Terrang showed up, Yell.
15:01
Speaker 2: It showed up just a bunch of dudes trying to
15:04
Speaker 2: help their brothers out. And I thought I found that
15:06
Speaker 2: very inspiring that there There was clearly no obligation for
15:10
Speaker 2: them team or agency wise or any of that business
15:12
Speaker 2: stuff to be there. They wanted to be here there
15:14
Speaker 2: to help their brothers out and just to participate in
15:17
Speaker 2: the process of contributing and volunteering, not not being a
15:21
Speaker 2: face to take pictures of the fans. I mean, of
15:23
Speaker 2: course they did, But having those guys there was great
15:26
Speaker 2: to see the leadership on this team, great to see
15:28
Speaker 2: the brotherhood, great to see this inspiring, the guys helping
15:32
Speaker 2: each other out. So Yeli saw Bryce terrang mention your rebay,
15:37
Speaker 2: So that was wonderful. And those are definitely heroes. Anyone helping,
15:41
Speaker 2: anyone contributing their fellow man, definitely a hero. But I'm
15:45
Speaker 2: also gonna give Joey and a Hero of the Day.
15:47
Speaker 2: I can't help it. He's not gonna get shots, and
15:49
Speaker 2: he was the hero last night getting that Homer Man.
15:52
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
15:53
Speaker 2: I just I'm so happy for him because he's taken
15:55
Speaker 2: a lot of barbs, He's been through a lot of adversity.
15:57
Speaker 2: So Joey Ortiz as well, Hero of the Day.
16:02
Speaker 3: You gotta love that one.
16:03
Speaker 1: Yep, those are two solid candiates. You could also you
16:06
Speaker 1: could throw McGill in there too, because you like redemption stories.
16:08
Speaker 1: He was struggling and lost the closer job. Now it
16:10
Speaker 1: looks like he's back.
16:12
Speaker 2: I'll give Dan Myers one two for sacrifice, even though
16:15
Speaker 2: he's not a brewer, sacrificing his body on that catch.
16:18
Speaker 2: One of the great catches you'll ever see at that
16:20
Speaker 2: state at an American family field, and more of the
16:23
Speaker 2: violent catches running into that wall as armor was flapping
16:26
Speaker 2: out there in full speed.
16:28
Speaker 3: That was crazy.
16:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, the German goalkeeper drew last night, I don't have
16:32
Speaker 2: a blanket on his name.
16:33
Speaker 3: Could have been a hero.
16:35
Speaker 2: He saved two late penalty kicks, which is super rare
16:39
Speaker 2: in soccer.
16:39
Speaker 3: Obviously to give his German.
16:42
Speaker 2: Counterparts a chance to come back in that penalty kick round,
16:45
Speaker 2: which would have been one of the most improbable life
16:48
Speaker 2: saving comebacks and season saving you know, tournament saving wins
16:51
Speaker 2: for a team. But then but then the next kicker
16:55
Speaker 2: just sailed it into the stands, So pretty disappointing when
16:59
Speaker 2: for Germany.
16:59
Speaker 3: At least was Yeah, I mean, but that would he
17:02
Speaker 3: would have been a hero.
17:04
Speaker 2: Like if you're a goal where and you save two
17:06
Speaker 2: in a row to save your team's life at the brink.
17:09
Speaker 1: The mentality of penalty kicks a little bit like free
17:13
Speaker 1: throws in basketball, right, yeah, where it's like you should
17:15
Speaker 1: make it, but you shouldn't make it, but there is pressure.
17:18
Speaker 1: But it's one thing that the guy makes a safe
17:20
Speaker 1: because a lot of times goalies are just guessing. Right, Yes,
17:22
Speaker 1: he dives into the path of the ball. Tip your cap,
17:25
Speaker 1: but if you missed the target completely by the distance
17:30
Speaker 1: of like two El Dorado cadillacs, that's pretty awful, pretty
17:34
Speaker 1: and not be in the area code. That's a free
17:38
Speaker 1: throw airball.
17:39
Speaker 2: Baby, And that happens because a lot of shooters are
17:42
Speaker 2: trying to put air out of the ball obviously to
17:44
Speaker 2: help their angle. And you know, it's a big chess
17:46
Speaker 2: game with the goalie, but it's also a risk when
17:49
Speaker 2: you put air under the ball because that could happen.
17:51
Speaker 2: So it's it's just interesting to watch the chess match
17:54
Speaker 2: of penalty kicks and now these guys a mental game,
17:58
Speaker 2: so interesting.
17:59
Speaker 3: And I said, he always.
18:00
Speaker 2: Favors the underdog in my opinion, Drew, because the pressure's
18:03
Speaker 2: on the favorite to get it done because they know
18:05
Speaker 2: it's more random.
18:06
Speaker 3: So that's always my theory. I like it. I like it.
18:09
Speaker 1: It's a good theory, all right, Current Electricall Current dot
18:12
Speaker 1: com our superhero of the day, always a good discussion.
18:15
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a discussion with Bill Schroeder coming up.
18:17

18:19
Speaker 1: the program. He was off on a trip. Both he
18:22
Speaker 1: and Ba spent time in Europe this year. How about
18:24
Speaker 1: that Ba was in the French Open a Rock was
18:27
Speaker 1: on a cruise down the in Germany, down the Ryan.
18:30
Speaker 1: I think we'll talk to him next though. About what's

18:55
Speaker 1: he timed it right. This is a good week to

18:59
Speaker 1: the extra day, four days, you know, five days off
19:02
Speaker 1: for the price of four because of the holiday for
19:04
Speaker 1: many on Friday, Brewers playing through the holiday. Brus keeping
19:09
Speaker 1: us interested here as we approached the July fourth weekend.
19:12
Speaker 1: Joining us now live on the Nicola Lot dot I'm
19:14
Speaker 1: talking text sign our pal Bill Schroeder from Brewers TV.
19:18
Speaker 1: Good morning, Rock, How are you doing today.
19:20
Speaker 4: It's been a while, hadn't it. Yeah? Yeah, I was
19:23
Speaker 4: away for a bit and I had to miss a week.
19:26
Speaker 4: I apologize for that, but I'll tell you it'd be
19:30
Speaker 4: nice to go to the ballpark today and have a
19:31
Speaker 4: nice maybe like a ten to two victory. It'd be
19:34
Speaker 4: nice to not have to go down to the wire
19:36
Speaker 4: every day. Craziness. It's not good for the ticker, you know.
19:41
Speaker 3: It's not Those.
19:42
Speaker 1: Cubs games felt like playoff games, didn't they always do?
19:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you, you know, unlike the playoff games last
19:49
Speaker 4: year where the stadium was filled with Brewers fans, there
19:52
Speaker 4: are a lot of Southsiders or North Siders in there
19:55
Speaker 4: over the weekend. And yeah, you know, I've can't affected
20:00
Speaker 4: players a whole lot, but you know, I'm not real
20:03
Speaker 4: fan of it. It was.
20:07
Speaker 3: Jarring.
20:07
Speaker 1: It was jarring on Saturday, Saturday and Sunday.
20:10
Speaker 3: We're jarring.
20:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding. They're all great games. I mean, the
20:14
Speaker 4: Brewers were playing really good baseball. The pitching has been phenomenal,
20:19
Speaker 4: you know, And like I always say, you know, we've
20:21
Speaker 4: been doing these shows for a long time now, Drew
20:23
Speaker 4: and it's you know, pitching and defense will carry as
20:26
Speaker 4: far as your team's going to go. Offense comes and goes.
20:29
Speaker 4: You know, they've been in a slump with runners in
20:31
Speaker 4: scoring position, but they would have sneak one out yesterday.
20:35
Speaker 4: How about Joey, Oh how about that? I mean, can
20:38
Speaker 4: you think of a guy ever that needed that more
20:40
Speaker 4: than him? Oh?
20:42
Speaker 3: Just absolutely rock.
20:43
Speaker 2: I mean he you know, they have a hero moment
20:46
Speaker 2: finally for a guy that's been through so much adversity.
20:48
Speaker 2: And you could kind of see the relief and exaltation
20:51
Speaker 2: from him when he was kind of on the bases, right,
20:53
Speaker 2: I mean that.
20:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's running down the first big go, go go.
21:00
Speaker 4: You know, it's like, so yeah, it was. I'm so
21:02
Speaker 4: happy for him. He's such a good guys, such a
21:04
Speaker 4: hard worker, and this is a results oriented business. And
21:08
Speaker 4: you know, Cooper Pratt comes up and you know he's
21:11
Speaker 4: got a ways to go. I mean, he's he's an
21:13
Speaker 4: incredible talent and you know he's going to be a
21:15
Speaker 4: good one. It's just that it's good to see Joey
21:18
Speaker 4: be able to come up big in that situation.
21:20
Speaker 1: Talking to Bell schrud Er Brewers TV, I want to
21:22
Speaker 1: ask you about Pratt, because I think he's up here
21:26
Speaker 1: and the Brewers did the right thing by giving him
21:28
Speaker 1: the deal and just get the future started. Now he's
21:31
Speaker 1: going to be the shorts up for a long time,
21:32
Speaker 1: it looks like, and that's great, But he through some
21:35
Speaker 1: growing pains, right, He's going to swing a pitch around his.
21:37
Speaker 4: Eyes, right, I mean, and again, I mean, you know,
21:40
Speaker 4: he's an incredible defender. He's a big kid. He can run,
21:43
Speaker 4: He's already got a bunch of stolen bases, and you know,
21:46
Speaker 4: we just got to give him some time. And you know,
21:48
Speaker 4: as long as everybody else in the lineup is doing
21:51
Speaker 4: the job and you know, driving in runs and getting
21:53
Speaker 4: on base, I mean, you can you can give him
21:56
Speaker 4: some up, some time to develop and learn how to
21:59
Speaker 4: hit in the big leagues and and not put the
22:02
Speaker 4: pressure on himself swinging the pitches that you know, up
22:04
Speaker 4: out of the strike zone. But you know, you get
22:08
Speaker 4: it's gonna be it's gonna be a process. You gotta
22:10
Speaker 4: be patient with him, just like you do with every
22:11
Speaker 4: young player.
22:12
Speaker 2: And that's normal for young players, especially at that position. Drew,
22:15
Speaker 2: you brought up the J. J. Hardy example. Yeah, so
22:17
Speaker 2: it came like a half a year. That first half
22:19
Speaker 2: of the year he had really the plate and then figured.
22:21
Speaker 1: Out that's Robin Young about his first year in the league.
22:24
Speaker 1: Errors he made.
22:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, a lot of guys there are too many
22:27
Speaker 4: Ryan Browns that come up from them the minor leagues
22:30
Speaker 4: and just start setting the world on fire right away. So, yeah,
22:34
Speaker 4: it's gonna be. It's gonna be. It's gonna be a
22:36
Speaker 4: lot of fun watching him. And yeah, you think about
22:39
Speaker 4: you know, Cooper Pratt coming up and you're talking about it.
22:42
Speaker 4: You know, it's fitting himself into a into a lineup
22:45
Speaker 4: that is expected to get to the postseason. I mean
22:48
Speaker 4: fifty one wins now, I mean you put pressure on
22:51
Speaker 4: yourself when you come into a lineup like that and
22:53
Speaker 4: you know the team is playing well, the fans are
22:55
Speaker 4: all excited, and you know, so, yeah, you just gotta
22:59
Speaker 4: give him a bit, give them a little bit of time,
23:01
Speaker 4: give cut them some slack, be patient with him. Don't
23:05
Speaker 4: give your opinions right away. You got to give him
23:07
Speaker 4: a couple of months or even more than that to see,
23:10
Speaker 4: you know, how he's going to develop. The rest of
23:11
Speaker 4: the year.
23:12
Speaker 1: There were a couple of the bats on Sunday he
23:14
Speaker 1: came up and everybody's faltered with runners in scoring position.
23:17
Speaker 1: The last ten days has been tough till last night.
23:19
Speaker 1: Maybe this the dam's gonna break a rock. I predicted
23:21
Speaker 1: that in the next two games the Brewers will put
23:24
Speaker 1: up seven or more. They're gonna score a touchdown. So
23:26
Speaker 1: I'm with you on them. The damn is gonna break
23:29
Speaker 1: because it's been so such a grind. But Cooper Pratt
23:32
Speaker 1: will have a moment and that will come soon as well,
23:35
Speaker 1: the way that Durbin did last year, right, and it
23:40
Speaker 1: was just like oh, unexpected, like oh and south Freelick
23:43
Speaker 1: did his first year, Like they came up and like pop,
23:45
Speaker 1: they have a moment where they just like they win
23:47
Speaker 1: a game and they have their moment and then they
23:49
Speaker 1: can relax a little bit. I think Cooper Pratt's gonna
23:51
Speaker 1: have one of those, like where he gets a big
23:52
Speaker 1: hit and wins a game and it's gonna be.
23:54
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's kind the kind of the way you know,
23:57
Speaker 4: terrang has developed, you know, I mean, it didn't take
23:59
Speaker 4: it took a while to you know, start swinging the
24:01
Speaker 4: bat like he is now. It was last year, you know,
24:04
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know what point, what month it was.
24:07
Speaker 4: But all of a sudden, you know, the you know treat,
24:10
Speaker 4: the switch flipped and he started to get the bat
24:13
Speaker 4: out in the front and hitting the home runs. That
24:14
Speaker 4: was a big home run too, to tie that game.
24:16
Speaker 4: I mean you could see that it took a lot
24:18
Speaker 4: of pressure off, you know, his runners and scoring position thing.
24:21
Speaker 4: And I can tell you from personal experience. I've been
24:23
Speaker 4: on teams. I was in the big leagues, and you know,
24:25
Speaker 4: when your whole team is struggling like that and you
24:28
Speaker 4: go up there and you've got a man at second
24:30
Speaker 4: base with two outs or second and third and one out,
24:33
Speaker 4: I mean, you got the weight of the world on
24:35
Speaker 4: your shoulders, you know, and you feel, oh, I got
24:37
Speaker 4: to get it done because you know x amount. You
24:39
Speaker 4: know he you know, the guy in front of me
24:40
Speaker 4: didn't get it done, and the guy behind me has
24:42
Speaker 4: been struggling. So that puts you in a position where
24:45
Speaker 4: you're over anxious, you want to get the job done.
24:48
Speaker 4: You're swinging the pitches that you shouldn't, and that's just
24:51
Speaker 4: that's just human nature.
24:53
Speaker 3: Don't you love it?
24:54
Speaker 2: Though?
24:55
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughan tripples the other day to lead off in inning. Well,
24:57
Speaker 1: first of all, and had to rip you for triples
25:01
Speaker 1: and all that.
25:01
Speaker 4: You know.
25:02
Speaker 1: Of course, that story always.
25:03
Speaker 4: Comes up every time somebody hits the triple. Hey, what's
25:06
Speaker 4: about your triple? Rock?
25:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, for those who didn't read, if these balls
25:10
Speaker 1: could talk Bill, Bill Schroders first hitting the big leagues
25:12
Speaker 1: was a triple, and it was his only triple of
25:13
Speaker 1: his ten year major league career.
25:16
Speaker 4: I said, you know, he asked me to talk about it.
25:18
Speaker 4: I said, well, buy the book and it's in there,
25:19
Speaker 4: so there you go.
25:20
Speaker 1: Appreciate that we could use the royalty check.
25:23
Speaker 4: I mean, I think we've sold like four copies of
25:26
Speaker 4: the last three years. So I love it.
25:28
Speaker 3: I love it.
25:29
Speaker 1: But the thing is rock people think, okay, got on third,
25:31
Speaker 1: nobody out. All you have to do is hit a
25:33
Speaker 1: fly ball to score the run. Oh yeah, you can
25:36
Speaker 1: just put the ball wherever you want to, Like it's
25:38
Speaker 1: that easy. Then, like, it's not that easy, like or
25:41
Speaker 1: just hit a crowd ball, like.
25:43
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, just put the ball in play. I mean,
25:45
Speaker 4: the guys are throwing one hundred miles an hour, man
25:47
Speaker 4: trying out like you know, it's like you guys were
25:50
Speaker 4: It's like Drew, you were sitting, you know, standing next
25:52
Speaker 4: to me and Jason Lane in the batting cage yesterday
25:55
Speaker 4: we were talking about that. You know, you know, I listened.
25:57
Speaker 4: I listened to the talk shows, and I hear what
26:00
Speaker 4: folks are saying, and you know this and that, and
26:02
Speaker 4: you know, you get the lead off triple and you
26:03
Speaker 4: have a man at third, second and third, one out
26:06
Speaker 4: says all you got to do is hit a fly ball? Well,
26:09
Speaker 4: is it that easy to do that? It's not that
26:11
Speaker 4: easy this day, and is it never has been? I mean,
26:15
Speaker 4: and you know, to say that all you have to
26:17
Speaker 4: do what happened to the fly ball to left field?
26:19
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, these guys are trying to do that.
26:22
Speaker 4: I mean, but you know, it's funny to listen to
26:24
Speaker 4: some of the comments that people you know, will throw
26:27
Speaker 4: out there. You know, when you're sitting in the stands
26:29
Speaker 4: and you're watching on TV or you're listening on the radio,
26:32
Speaker 4: the game is really easy, But when you get down
26:34
Speaker 4: there on the field, it is far from it. A
26:37
Speaker 4: game goes fast, it's a quick game. It seems like
26:40
Speaker 4: it's a nice leisurely stroll on a Sunday or nine
26:43
Speaker 4: inning game. But when you get down on that dugout
26:44
Speaker 4: and you're on that field, that game comes at you quickly.
26:48
Speaker 1: I noticed that just being on the field in fantasy camp.
26:50
Speaker 1: The other one, rock is people think it's automatic guys
26:53
Speaker 1: on third with less than two outs, But then they're
26:55
Speaker 1: the same thing with getting a bunt down. Well, you
26:57
Speaker 1: get a bunt down against like Miseroski throwing a night
27:00
Speaker 1: tinety eight mile an hour slider or something.
27:01
Speaker 3: Come on, like it's automatic.
27:04
Speaker 4: There's only so many yeah, you know. So it's it's amazing,
27:08
Speaker 4: how you know, sometimes all you have to do is X,
27:11
Speaker 4: Y and z and all you got to do for
27:14
Speaker 4: a picture. Why can't these guys throw strikes? And why
27:16
Speaker 4: can't this? And why can't that? Well it's not that easy, right,
27:20
Speaker 4: that easy. I mean, these guys are the best in
27:23
Speaker 4: the world at what they do, and sometimes it just
27:25
Speaker 4: doesn't work.
27:26
Speaker 1: Why can't you convert on third and one? You know,
27:28
Speaker 1: why can't you get it?
27:30
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah? I know, you know. For that's why they
27:33
Speaker 4: call them fans, right, I mean, they're into it and
27:36
Speaker 4: they're passionate, and you love it. And I you know,
27:39
Speaker 4: the Brewer fans at the ballpark. I love when you know,
27:41
Speaker 4: Joey comes up and they're Channing Joey and you know,
27:44
Speaker 4: after you hit that home run, I mean, the place
27:47
Speaker 4: exploded for him, and it was it was It was
27:50
Speaker 4: great to see for Joey because there's not a better
27:52
Speaker 4: guy in all the baseball than Joey or Tie is
27:55
Speaker 4: a hard worker. And I know it's a results oreented
27:57
Speaker 4: business and that's the bottom line with it, but you know,
28:00
Speaker 4: he that was a great moment for him.
28:02
Speaker 2: And we love an underdog around these parts of this town,
28:04
Speaker 2: that's for sure. Do you think is there something to
28:07
Speaker 2: the idea some people say this as well, Rock, Do
28:10
Speaker 2: you bind the idea that it's guys are less equipped
28:13
Speaker 2: coming up now to be situational hitters.
28:15
Speaker 3: They don't adjust as much.
28:16
Speaker 2: They're coming up learning about laun j Angles more and
28:19
Speaker 2: things like that and not choking up and adjusting the
28:22
Speaker 2: box and getting.
28:23
Speaker 4: Something in the bunt.
28:24
Speaker 3: Do you believe that Are they trained differently as well?
28:27
Speaker 4: Well? I don't know. I mean, I think that every
28:30
Speaker 4: team has their offensive philosophy, and you know, certain teams
28:33
Speaker 4: have guys that are on their team that are very
28:35
Speaker 4: patient at the plate, and the Brewers typically are like that.
28:39
Speaker 4: But this last couple of weeks when they've been scuffling
28:42
Speaker 4: to score runs, guys get a little bit over aggressive.
28:45
Speaker 4: I will say this the one reason why guys aren't
28:47
Speaker 4: really good bunters anymore, because they've always been the best
28:50
Speaker 4: player on their team and they've never been asked to bunt.
28:53
Speaker 4: And I know that the two you know, you show
28:55
Speaker 4: up at you show up at the ballpark at three
28:57
Speaker 4: point thirty, and you know they're working on their bunting,
28:59
Speaker 4: and they're working on the PfP, the pitcher's fielding practice,
29:03
Speaker 4: they're working on all kinds of different things. But it
29:05
Speaker 4: is so much different in the game. The game speed,
29:09
Speaker 4: you know, dictates And again, like you said, Drew, try
29:12
Speaker 4: bunting on a guy that's throwing one hundred miles an hour.
29:14
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's not easy. If it was that easy,
29:18
Speaker 4: everybody would do it, and the managers will put the
29:21
Speaker 4: bun on more often. But you gotta be confident the
29:24
Speaker 4: fact that the guy is going to do that. And
29:26
Speaker 4: you know, with a man at you know, second base
29:29
Speaker 4: and late in the game, I mean, I think you're
29:30
Speaker 4: better off taking three shots at the base hit and
29:33
Speaker 4: trying to have somebody pop up a bunch and wasting out.
29:36
Speaker 3: All right, A.
29:37
Speaker 1: Couple of questions rapid fire for Bill Schroeder here, I
29:40
Speaker 1: gotta know Rock have the burst broken a mold? Could
29:43
Speaker 1: Aaron Ashby be the first reliever to win twenty games?
29:49
Speaker 4: I was talking to a levere between eddies, you know,
29:53
Speaker 4: after he came out and and pitched that score. Let's
29:56
Speaker 4: Saint Danny, I said, how about a run here to
29:57
Speaker 4: give Ashes his eleventh wins eleven and one. He leaves
30:01
Speaker 4: the big legs. You know, right behind him is Miserowski
30:05
Speaker 4: at nine to three. I'll tell you that game on
30:08
Speaker 4: Thursday is going to be a good one. They got
30:09
Speaker 4: a couple of fireballers going at it in American Family Field.
30:13
Speaker 4: That'd be a good one to check out. But yeah,
30:16
Speaker 4: he's been incredible, and it seems like the more he pitches,
30:18
Speaker 4: the better he does. And it's always important that he's
30:21
Speaker 4: able to land those curveballs and all that all speed
30:24
Speaker 4: stuff early because he had a tendency to walk guys.
30:26
Speaker 4: But now, if you're walking batters, you have to have
30:29
Speaker 4: that strikeout ability, and he certainly has that.
30:32
Speaker 1: He spiked a curveball in a big spot on Sunday.
30:34
Speaker 1: But he's been pretty good and he grows. It seems
30:37
Speaker 1: like every game he's in, So he's in a lot.
30:39
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been a lot of violence.
30:42
Speaker 4: Ninety nine miles an hour is incredible movement. I'll say
30:46
Speaker 4: I love watching him, but I think I would hate
30:48
Speaker 4: catching him because I don't think my thumbs could put
30:51
Speaker 4: up with it. Yep.
30:52
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to ask you pitching? What
30:53
Speaker 1: all my my remaining questions are pitching wise? Gas are
30:58
Speaker 1: pitching from the stretch? That adjustment you're seeing more and
31:00
Speaker 1: more guys do what's your thought on that rock? Like
31:03
Speaker 1: the old school wind up? Sometimes you see guys cruising
31:05
Speaker 1: and then the first time a guy got some bady
31:07
Speaker 1: to go to the stretch and they lose their mojo?
31:09
Speaker 3: Is this a better thing? Is this like.
31:12
Speaker 1: It's been experimented with for years. It's not a new thing.
31:15
Speaker 1: But what do you think about that?
31:16
Speaker 4: Well, Well, the less movement that you have, I think,
31:19
Speaker 4: the better better chance you have of repeating a delivery.
31:22
Speaker 4: It's like a hitter, right. The less movement you have
31:24
Speaker 4: in your pre swing approach, I mean, I think the
31:27
Speaker 4: more likely you are going to be able to put
31:29
Speaker 4: the ball. You know, put the bat in the zone
31:31
Speaker 4: where you want it. But you know, I forget what
31:33
Speaker 4: Brewer it was. He said that, you know, my most
31:35
Speaker 4: important at bats and most important pitches I'm going to
31:39
Speaker 4: make throughout the night are with men on base, and
31:41
Speaker 4: you're going to be working out of the stretch. So
31:43
Speaker 4: why not just do that right from the beginning. You know,
31:46
Speaker 4: Harrison is a guy that he has a little bit
31:49
Speaker 4: of a wind up, but not much. He moves his
31:51
Speaker 4: feet just a little bit, so you can you know
31:53
Speaker 4: when he goes from you know, a really abbreviated wind
31:57
Speaker 4: up to in the stretch. It's not that much of
31:59
Speaker 4: a different book. And I agree with it. I mean,
32:02
Speaker 4: it's all about you know, remember you know, back in
32:05
Speaker 4: the old days, you know, to wind up, you know,
32:06
Speaker 4: the arms are going, the legs are going. There's a
32:09
Speaker 4: lot of movement there one Myra show with the high
32:11
Speaker 4: leg kick and all that kind of stuff. So you know,
32:14
Speaker 4: it's all about of an all amount of a personal preference.
32:17
Speaker 4: And I think that I like the idea that my
32:19
Speaker 4: most important at bats and the most important pitch is
32:22
Speaker 4: I'm going to throw in a game or with men
32:25
Speaker 4: on base, So why not do that from the beginning.
32:27
Speaker 1: I like it too, just as long as it's repeatable
32:29
Speaker 1: and You're right. It's like the golf swing. Keep it simple,
32:31
Speaker 1: the simpler, the better, and repeat it, right.
32:34
Speaker 4: Yea, yeah, you know I've I've never been able to
32:37
Speaker 4: master a simple golf swing either, so you know, just
32:39
Speaker 4: the way out of my pay rate.
32:42
Speaker 1: Or throw one hundred and five like Mizz and you
32:43
Speaker 1: can whatever whatever it takes to get that velocity.
32:47
Speaker 4: It's funny because he threw one hundred and five the
32:49
Speaker 4: other day and he says, you know, I think I
32:51
Speaker 4: have some more in the tank. Can you imagine? No, yeah,
32:54
Speaker 4: I mean, can you imagine? Can you imagine facing that?
32:56
Speaker 4: You know drew when I was playing, And I never
32:58
Speaker 4: really start sentences like that too often. And maybe it's
33:02
Speaker 4: because it's just the way they're just the way they're
33:04
Speaker 4: registering speeds these days. But you get a guy throwing
33:08
Speaker 4: ninety one ninety two that is like off the charts fastball,
33:12
Speaker 4: you know, but now it's like everybody, everybody in the
33:15
Speaker 4: bullpen's throwing ninety three to ninety eight. You know, it's
33:18
Speaker 4: it's incredible. It's so hard to hit these days, and
33:21
Speaker 4: these guys, you know, they're incredible the way they the
33:25
Speaker 4: way they throw it.
33:25
Speaker 3: Trying to figure out if like that. The measuring, like
33:27
Speaker 3: the old speed guns were different.
33:29
Speaker 2: Like do you get the sense that Clemens and Nolan
33:31
Speaker 2: Ryan and those guys would have registered those numbers with
33:33
Speaker 2: the current.
33:34
Speaker 4: Well yeah, you know there, you know, there used to
33:37
Speaker 4: be two ways to register, you know, the speed of
33:39
Speaker 4: the pitch out of the hand, and then the other
33:42
Speaker 4: way is the speed of the pitch in the strike zone.
33:44
Speaker 4: So and that's going to be a lot different right
33:46
Speaker 4: and out of the hand is the maximum velocity at
33:49
Speaker 4: the plate, It's going to be a little bit less.
33:51
Speaker 4: But still when you had a guy like Goose Cottage
33:54
Speaker 4: and you know, you know Tom Hanky with the Toronto
33:56
Speaker 4: Blue Jason, they're throwing ninety two. That's that's that's off
34:00
Speaker 4: to charge fast back in those days. So you know,
34:02
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't necessarily you know, you know,
34:05
Speaker 4: think those guys through that much softer than the guys today.
34:08
Speaker 4: I think it's just the way they're registering velocity.
34:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, Randy Johnson and Kurtschilling could rush it up.
34:13
Speaker 3: They're pretty good, you think.
34:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say, both of those guys they were. There
34:18
Speaker 4: was no piece of cake there.
34:20
Speaker 1: Last thing for you, Rock we talked about Joey Ortiz
34:22
Speaker 1: and his redemption story. Well, we're kind of overlooking. Trevor
34:25
Speaker 1: McGill had a couple of rough outings earlier this year,
34:28
Speaker 1: lost his closers job for a little bit. Now he
34:29
Speaker 1: looks like he's every bit as good as he was
34:31
Speaker 1: when he's an All Star, and he looks like he's
34:33
Speaker 1: the guy that you're not nervous when he comes out
34:36
Speaker 1: of the bullpen, now in a safe situation anymore. So
34:39
Speaker 1: that's quite a turn around him too.
34:41
Speaker 4: He's throwing near one hundred and he's got that nasty curveball.
34:45
Speaker 4: He's starting to throw a bit of a slider maybe
34:47
Speaker 4: cutter type thing. I think maybe that's just the way
34:50
Speaker 4: it comes out of his hand. But man, he just
34:52
Speaker 4: light I mean incredible h inning yesterday, you know, blowing
34:56
Speaker 4: away Daily Cruz like he was able to do. I
34:59
Speaker 4: was thinking curveball that last pitch, but he threw a
35:01
Speaker 4: fastball right by him at top of the zone. Do
35:03
Speaker 4: you notice how many guys are swinging the pitches that
35:06
Speaker 4: are out of the strike zone high these days. Yes,
35:08
Speaker 4: I'm not quite sure why that would be. We saw
35:11
Speaker 4: a ton of it, you know, the Cubs were doing
35:13
Speaker 4: it the Brewers are doing it. I'm not quite sure
35:15
Speaker 4: what the deal is, but you know, that's the toughest
35:18
Speaker 4: pitch to hit, the big fastball up in the zone,
35:21
Speaker 4: and you know, I think pitchers are starting to exploit that.
35:25
Speaker 1: The speaking of that rocket. The last thing, the last
35:28
Speaker 1: question for you, the challenge thing. It seemed like the
35:30
Speaker 1: Cubs weren't challenging a lot of borderline pitches. I don't
35:33
Speaker 1: know if that's a philosophical thing, but then I looked
35:35
Speaker 1: it up and the Brewers hitters have challenged fewer pitchers
35:37
Speaker 1: than any pitches than anybody. Now on the other side,
35:40
Speaker 1: they're like third in pitching challenges, but the hitters don't
35:43
Speaker 1: tap the hat much.
35:45
Speaker 4: And you know, I think Gary Sanchez has a majority
35:47
Speaker 4: of all the challenges. Well if I had to play
35:49
Speaker 4: Behi though. But you know, Terrass this year has been
35:53
Speaker 4: really good. He's been of a slump. I think he's
35:54
Speaker 4: over his last five. But you know, you know, you
35:58
Speaker 4: got to really tip your hat to you know, Turio
36:01
Speaker 4: and Contrari's giving what's going on in Venezuela right now
36:04
Speaker 4: with the earthquakes. They're able to stay out there in
36:06
Speaker 4: the field, stay focused, and you know, it brings the
36:09
Speaker 4: human element into the game of baseball. That you know,
36:11
Speaker 4: these guys have personal lives that affect how they think
36:14
Speaker 4: and what they do out there, so you know that's
36:17
Speaker 4: off to them.
36:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Rock, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it.
36:20
Speaker 1: As always, everybody's watching the Brewers right now, especially this

37:42
Speaker 1: Bank story today is a classic arm and it is
37:44
Speaker 1: dateline would be Island, Washington, out of Seattle.
37:48
Speaker 4: Right.
37:48
Speaker 1: It's the green Bank. It's a neighborhood in green Bank.
37:53
Speaker 1: Happened uh Wednesday afternoon last week a home there was
37:59
Speaker 1: a home explosion and the blast destroyed two homes and
38:04
Speaker 1: damaged a third and five people were injured, including two firefighters.
38:10
Speaker 1: All are expected to recover, which is great.
38:12
Speaker 3: That's good news.
38:14
Speaker 1: So when something like that happens, houses don't generally just explode.
38:17
Speaker 1: You say, well, what was the cause of it? And
38:20
Speaker 1: according to neighbors, there's a theory that one of their
38:26
Speaker 1: neighbors was housing seven hundred pounds of.
38:30
Speaker 3: Fireworks, Oh my goodness.
38:32
Speaker 1: At his home and the last shipment came just hours
38:35
Speaker 1: before the explosion. Yeah, and video from one of the neighbors.
38:42
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this was a nest video or
38:43
Speaker 1: actually a cell phone video, but the owner of the
38:47
Speaker 1: home where the fireworks were delivered was walking in smoking.
38:51
Speaker 4: Oh boy.
38:52
Speaker 2: You know, you can have one of the greatest displays ever,
38:55
Speaker 2: but you can only do it once.
38:56
Speaker 1: If you're going to store seven hundred pounds of explosive divine.
39:00
Speaker 3: You probably shouldn't smoke inside.
39:02
Speaker 2: Probably not a good, not a good idea to do that.
39:05
Speaker 3: I like the old Darwin Awards. Well, yeah, thats.
39:09
Speaker 1: As risk a versus you are. Yeah, I don't think
39:11
Speaker 1: that's like seeing somebody pumping gas smoking a cigarette.
39:17
Speaker 3: Pumping gas.
39:17
Speaker 1: Not a great idea.
39:18
Speaker 2: I don't like using my cell phone when I pump
39:20
Speaker 2: gas because everyone says you shouldn't, even though everyone does.
39:23
Speaker 1: You have to watch out for just a spark from
39:24
Speaker 1: your you know, yeah, jeans, I mean shocked.
39:27
Speaker 3: You never know. And it's a scary situation.
39:30
Speaker 2: But man, that's yeah, that's probably not a smart idea
39:33
Speaker 2: and it listen, it's a constant risk if you're housing
39:37
Speaker 2: that many fireworks in your house.
39:38
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Well he's just a couple of days
39:40
Speaker 3: away from the Fourth of July, but it came early.
39:42
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's our awake in Baked Stories. Literally it's
39:46
Speaker 1: not four to twenty. But what are you high? I mean,
39:48
Speaker 1: come on, that's a good time to take. I'm just
39:51
Speaker 1: glad no one but the damaged property and yeah, pain
39:54
Speaker 1: in the arts caused by this. We can talk about
39:58
Speaker 1: that more, probably on Thursday day because it's our last
40:00
Speaker 1: show before the fourth. The backyard fireworks, I just take
40:05
Speaker 1: your money and set it on fire.
40:07
Speaker 3: Not my thing too, You're literally.
40:11
Speaker 2: Setting your money on fire, plus the risk, plus the
40:14
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just not worth it for me.
40:16
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. Some people get really into fireworks.
40:19
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it, Okay, I.
40:20
Speaker 3: Don't blame you.
40:21
Speaker 1: Else do it. I don't blame you. It's been a
40:23
Speaker 1: fun show. Thanks for all your buy sell propositions. Thanks
40:26
Speaker 1: for hanging out. Shout out to the five o'clock Club
