4:19

4:45
Speaker 8: Now.
4:46
Speaker 9: Last night obviously did not go well for the crew
4:49
Speaker 9: in Detroit with the five to two l But how
4:52
Speaker 9: valuable do you think them working and making Jansen labor
4:56
Speaker 9: as much as they did in that ninth inning.
4:57
Speaker 4: We'll play off here today. We'll see if it gets
4:59
Speaker 4: to a ninth situation today. You don't think about the
5:01
Speaker 4: ninth inning when you're facing schooball right around in the
5:04
Speaker 4: ninth inning. Yeah, the thing is can you survive? And
5:08
Speaker 4: then how does Brandon Sproute hold down the Tigers while
5:12
Speaker 4: you're trying to peck away and get some runs against
5:14
Speaker 4: scooball better lineup than I think people would would give
5:18
Speaker 4: it credit for.
5:19
Speaker 8: It.
5:19
Speaker 4: Is that fair to say? Like Detroit kind of flew
5:21
Speaker 4: under the radar as one of the better teams last
5:23
Speaker 4: year and then they're always under the radar down by
5:26
Speaker 4: the Guardians, but currently have the best home record in baseball. Yeah,
5:29
Speaker 4: it's a tough place to play when you're going nine
5:31
Speaker 4: to two. There's I was laughing about that home run
5:35
Speaker 4: ball that Blake Perkins casually grabbed the other day, but
5:37
Speaker 4: then there were a couple of balls like I'm like,
5:39
Speaker 4: how did that not go out? Because it's the biggest
5:41
Speaker 4: field in baseball. Yeah, it's demoralizing for hitters.
5:45
Speaker 9: We did miss this and maybe maybe it's better for
5:47
Speaker 9: a waken big situation. But last night on the on
5:49
Speaker 9: the home run. Did you see my man's fumble of
5:53
Speaker 9: the ball situation to situation? So he had it looked
5:57
Speaker 9: like he brought a baseball, maybe to get autographed or
5:59
Speaker 9: so maybe I have thrown up to the stands or
6:00
Speaker 9: whatever if you can, got it during VP.
6:02
Speaker 4: But it looked like it wasn't an official rollings ball right.
6:05
Speaker 4: Looked like he might have just brought it hanging out
6:06
Speaker 4: with they having a catch before the game. That was,
6:10
Speaker 4: by the way, that was a buddy of mine, because
6:11
Speaker 4: a lot of foul balls are dropped or hit off
6:14
Speaker 4: people's hands or in empty stadiums and picked up off
6:17
Speaker 4: the ground. So one guy who was an early ballhawk
6:20
Speaker 4: years ago, he used to always take his own ball
6:22
Speaker 4: and then go into the scrum where people are looking
6:24
Speaker 4: for the ball, and then hold it up and everybody
6:26
Speaker 4: else would back away, allowing him unfettered access to the
6:30
Speaker 4: ball that was on the ground because he would hold
6:32
Speaker 4: it up, I got it, and everybody, oh, dang, okay,
6:35
Speaker 4: I'll get the next one, and then he's like, where's it. Oh,
6:40
Speaker 4: So now he might have been doing this, but as
6:42
Speaker 4: he tries to pull up the actual because he catches
6:45
Speaker 4: the ball, he pulls this one out drops both of them.
6:48
Speaker 4: The actual home run ball rolls off the way and
6:52
Speaker 4: then he picks up the ball that he brought and
6:53
Speaker 4: he looks at It's like a son of up. I
6:57
Speaker 4: had the wrong way. Well, the amounts, the lengths, people
7:01
Speaker 4: will go for a free baseball, you know what I mean?
7:04
Speaker 4: Very true, very true.
7:06
Speaker 9: Somebody forgetting us something free what I had on my
7:09
Speaker 9: Bengo card. Be your number one guy.
7:12
Speaker 4: I said, people, but I would do it. Yes, absolutely handsome.
7:15
Speaker 4: Hunter Bombguard joins us now on the stream and on
7:17
Speaker 4: the nicolay Low dot com talk and text. I'm brought
7:19
Speaker 4: to us my import minded, your trust and choice for
7:21

Speaker 4: You ready to witness history? And by that I mean
7:32
Speaker 4: Billy and Wayne on the NFL draft coverage tonight or
7:35
Speaker 4: Brewers against Tucson young winners back.
7:37
Speaker 10: To back, right, we got history just everywhere really when
7:41
Speaker 10: you look around us right now. But yes, well I'm
7:46
Speaker 10: looking forward to both. We got Yeah, tough task for
7:49
Speaker 10: the Brewers. Would have loved to grab last night because
7:52
Speaker 10: you have the next two pitchers ahead of you. But
7:54
Speaker 10: that's in baseball, hey, that's the Brewers have been able
7:58
Speaker 10: to get to some of these guys sometimes, so you
8:00
Speaker 10: never know what the offense might do against these two pitchers.
8:03
Speaker 4: You want to be, You want to be a d
8:05
Speaker 4: bag with a trivia question. Ask people who's the best
8:08
Speaker 4: pitcher to never win a Cy Young And then they'll
8:11
Speaker 4: go like, oh, Nolan Ryan, Yeah, Kurt Chilling, like Adam
8:14
Speaker 4: Wayne Wright, and oh you know Walter Johnson. No, you
8:18
Speaker 4: can just say, well Cy Young eleven wins and he
8:23
Speaker 4: never won the award. That is something I didn't know.
8:28
Speaker 8: That is a good one, right, and skis back then
8:31
Speaker 8: You're absolutely right. You would abstually be the tool that
8:35
Speaker 8: is so stolen.
8:36
Speaker 4: Oh man, that is you know what. Let's talk the
8:39
Speaker 4: killer of all baseball dad shoke.
8:41
Speaker 8: Let's talk about more dad joke stuff in names, all right,
8:44
Speaker 8: and I don't want you guys thinking Hunter as well.
8:47
Speaker 4: This is the number one all like name team, this
8:50
Speaker 4: Tiger's edition.
8:50
Speaker 8: When you start looking at their lineup, their players, all
8:53
Speaker 8: the interesting names, Kevin McGonagall, Dylan Dingler, I mean these
8:57
Speaker 8: are guys like Colt Keith, Wiley Green Spencer. These are
9:00
Speaker 8: guys that Billy when you're playing the sim game, you know,
9:03
Speaker 8: where you're drafting twenty years down there making fake names.
9:05
Speaker 4: These are the fake names I feel like, Yeah, they
9:08
Speaker 4: don't have but doo anymore.
9:09
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, was a phenomenal edition of that one,
9:13
Speaker 8: Dangler McGonigal Like. These guys are like, you know, a
9:15
Speaker 8: vaudevilleag from the twenties, you know what I mean?
9:17
Speaker 4: All Right, So Hunter, we alluded to it before, but
9:19
Speaker 4: the Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin injury report for the Brewers,
9:24
Speaker 4: we're starting to get some better news. It looks like
9:26
Speaker 4: Chario's getting closer and ever it's getting tantalizingly close for him,
9:30
Speaker 4: isn't it.
9:32
Speaker 10: Yeah, it looks like a rehab assignment is on the
9:35
Speaker 10: is possibility next week. They're going to go through the weekend,
9:38
Speaker 10: see how he progresses with that hand. He hit on
9:41
Speaker 10: the field yesterday for the first time, which is great.
9:43
Speaker 10: That's another step for him. It's a mix of you know,
9:46
Speaker 10: working the cage, work on the field just to kind
9:49
Speaker 10: of get him back into swing mode literally, and then
9:52
Speaker 10: we'll see what he does next week.
9:54
Speaker 7: Uh, and they'll probably I would make I.
9:56
Speaker 10: Would think they'll make that decision about Sunday, maybe day
10:00
Speaker 10: to say, okay, is he ready for a stint. I
10:03
Speaker 10: don't know if it would be in Nashville or Appleton,
10:05
Speaker 10: but one of the two. And then I don't know
10:09
Speaker 10: what the amount of at bats we'll see on the
10:10
Speaker 10: homestand when we talked to Pat Murphy, how many at
10:14
Speaker 10: bats he's maybe gonna want to see them get in
10:16
Speaker 10: the rehab assignment or Jackson Cherio specifically, Vaughn will eventually
10:20
Speaker 10: get one two. So you're looking at yeah, what do
10:23
Speaker 10: you say, maybe a couple of weeks rehab at most probably,
10:27
Speaker 10: so you're still looking at early May, I think for
10:29
Speaker 10: Jackson Churio to return.
10:30
Speaker 4: So you put it right there in Hunter.
10:32
Speaker 9: I think that's kind of pertinent because obviously he built
10:35
Speaker 9: up for the WBC, So it's not like a normal
10:38
Speaker 9: beginning of the year thing where you need like a
10:40
Speaker 9: full spring training, you're ready to go.
10:42
Speaker 4: You ding like it wouldn't be. It would just be
10:44
Speaker 4: a normal rehab assignment like what happened in the middle
10:47
Speaker 4: of the season.
10:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, totally me.
10:50
Speaker 10: I mean last year I believe he got eighteen at
10:52
Speaker 10: bats when he worked his way back from a hamstring injury,
10:54
Speaker 10: and he went like one free, you.
10:56
Speaker 7: Know, or thirteen might have been thirteen, something like that.
11:00
Speaker 10: It was one of the two, and he struck out
11:01
Speaker 10: most of those at bats, and then you know, it's
11:04
Speaker 10: like and he came back and homeward in his first
11:06
Speaker 10: game against Toronto and then hit one that was rob
11:08
Speaker 10: So I think, you know, let's not look at the
11:10
Speaker 10: results that happened in whether it's in Nashville or Appleton
11:13
Speaker 10: or wherever he goes. It's more so just get those swings.
11:16
Speaker 10: And also I think the biggest thing for him is
11:18
Speaker 10: the check swing. That's what he felt it on in
11:21
Speaker 10: that Red Series, the Exhibition series. So I think those
11:24
Speaker 10: check swings that you can really only you can try
11:26
Speaker 10: to check a swing, I guess in the cage and stuff,
11:29
Speaker 10: but until you're in a real game in that setting,
11:31
Speaker 10: you really don't know. But I think it sounds like
11:34
Speaker 10: everything is progressing. The last image that they took looked good.
11:37
Speaker 10: So get him through that rehab assignment and get him
11:39
Speaker 10: back in that line.
11:40
Speaker 4: So Priester, I was on a rehab last night and
11:42
Speaker 4: it didn't go particularly well. A lot of walks he
11:45
Speaker 4: hit his forty five pitch count in two thirds of
11:47
Speaker 4: an inning.
11:49
Speaker 10: Yeah, twenty nine pitches, and I think it was more like, yeah,
11:52
Speaker 10: we wanted to get to forty five, but not all
11:54
Speaker 10: in one inning, and so let's get it out of there.
11:57
Speaker 10: And so just to be safer than sorry, it wasn't
12:00
Speaker 10: an injury thing. It was just a matter of let's
12:02
Speaker 10: not tax him in his first you know, regular outing
12:04
Speaker 10: he had been He had a couple outings in Arizona
12:07
Speaker 10: in game type atmospheres, but obviously the Nashville and it's
12:10
Speaker 10: a little different there in Charlotte last night. But as
12:13
Speaker 10: far as we know, he's still scheduled for that April
12:15
Speaker 10: twenty eight rehab start, and then it would be May third,
12:18
Speaker 10: and then the earliest they could probably activate him. They
12:21
Speaker 10: want him to get three rehabs starts with May ninth,
12:23
Speaker 10: but considering how this one went, I do wonder if
12:26
Speaker 10: they'll add one more.
12:27
Speaker 7: So there, you know, it's it's still a little time.
12:30
Speaker 10: As Pat Murphy said before the game yesterday, that there's
12:32
Speaker 10: still a little time to get him back to where
12:35
Speaker 10: he wants to be. And clearly yesterday just wasn't the
12:38
Speaker 10: type of picture we know Quinn priser to be, but again,
12:40
Speaker 10: how does his first start in a while, and trying
12:43
Speaker 10: to you know, there was a lot of all right,
12:45
Speaker 10: let's find out what this injury is.
12:47
Speaker 7: Why is this bothering me?
12:48
Speaker 10: So I have a feeling they're going to take their
12:50
Speaker 10: time a little bit, considering also the fact that how
12:53
Speaker 10: good the starting pitching has been.
12:54
Speaker 7: For the team, they don't need to rush him back
12:56
Speaker 7: right now.
12:56
Speaker 9: Well, and that's the thing that they've at least gotten
12:58
Speaker 9: contributions from everybody a that it's difficult to think that
13:01
Speaker 9: you have to rush someone back. What did you think
13:03
Speaker 9: of the opener decision yesterday? As you get Chad Patrick,
13:08
Speaker 9: who coming off a phenomenal start today, you're having sprote
13:12
Speaker 9: he's had an opener before. I don't think that's the
13:15
Speaker 9: plan obviously going forward, But like, how do you use
13:18
Speaker 9: that hunter?
13:19
Speaker 4: How do you see that?
13:20
Speaker 9: Because we mentioned it with Priester a year ago there
13:23
Speaker 9: was an extended run where it felt like he was
13:25
Speaker 9: getting an opener every single time and he kind of
13:27
Speaker 9: found some of his sea legs.
13:29
Speaker 4: I would tend to think it would mess with the.
13:30
Speaker 9: Guy, but then there's other people and pictures that are
13:33
Speaker 9: like it really doesn't matter I'm throwing a hundred pitches.
13:35
Speaker 4: I'm throwing them whenever it is. What's your take on it?
13:38
Speaker 9: When you talk to players, how they either positively or
13:41
Speaker 9: negatively view the opener for them as a pitcher.
13:45
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think the big question every time
13:47
Speaker 10: that happens, is your preparation any different? Like when I
13:50
Speaker 10: remember asking Chad Patrick that last time they used an opener,
13:53
Speaker 10: and you know, his mindset is his mindset is to
13:57
Speaker 10: get out, obviously, no matter how you know how how
14:01
Speaker 10: that looks. However you can tell that it does. It
14:04
Speaker 10: messes with them a little bit. And and Chad Patrick
14:08
Speaker 10: specifically didn't. Just reading the body language reading it, I
14:12
Speaker 10: just kind of feel like he not doesn't love coming
14:15
Speaker 10: out of the bullpen after an opener and would love
14:18
Speaker 10: to go out and start. And obviously I think every
14:20
Speaker 10: pitcher would love to be a starting pitcher in baseball.
14:22
Speaker 10: It's probably a goal for any pitcher. However, I think
14:26
Speaker 10: they are trying to yesterday. You know, the the Detroit
14:31
Speaker 10: Tigers are much worse against lefties coming into yesterday. They
14:34
Speaker 10: are two fifteen banning average against lefties, two fifty four
14:37
Speaker 10: banning average against righty's and Chad Patrick had a one
14:40
Speaker 10: to fifty two banning average. You know, four lefties or
14:44
Speaker 10: four right eyes. Wait no, well now I'm confused. Now
14:49
Speaker 10: I'm getting myself confused. But he had basically he was
14:51
Speaker 10: worse in that respect. He had the two ninety four
14:54
Speaker 10: so against lefties. Yeah, to lefties had two ninety four
14:58
Speaker 10: batting average against Chad Patrick, one fifty two right he's.
15:01
Speaker 7: Had against Chad Patrick. That's a significant difference.
15:04
Speaker 10: So I think with some of their prominent hitters in
15:07
Speaker 10: that Tigers lineup being lefty, wanted to basically try to
15:10
Speaker 10: get I think part of this is just to get
15:12
Speaker 10: momentum to start the game.
15:13
Speaker 7: And Pat Murphy talked about it two.
15:15
Speaker 10: Nights ago talking about momentum on the offensive side. I
15:17
Speaker 10: think some of that is let's start the game off right.
15:19
Speaker 10: If dl Hall can neutralize some of the lefties in
15:23
Speaker 10: that Tigers lineup early in the game, let's get a
15:25
Speaker 10: lead and maybe work from the lead. Cham Patrick comes
15:27
Speaker 10: in with a lead, maybe we think that he can
15:30
Speaker 10: be better in that just because of what the Tigers
15:33
Speaker 10: could do with their lefty hitters. Well, Dale Hall that
15:36
Speaker 10: didn't pitch awful. I mean, you don't want to walk
15:37
Speaker 10: the two the first two guys in the game, and
15:39
Speaker 10: Pat Murphy didn't love that.
15:40
Speaker 7: But he did get out of it.
15:42
Speaker 10: And then it was Chad Patrick who was the one
15:44
Speaker 10: to not have a great outing, And look, he was
15:46
Speaker 10: probably bound to have one at some point because he
15:49
Speaker 10: had been pretty pretty good. However, he also coming into
15:52
Speaker 10: last night, had stranded ninety seven percent of his base runners.
15:56
Speaker 7: At some point, that's probably going to catch up to you.
15:58
Speaker 10: Like he had gotten he had been and the walks
16:00
Speaker 10: and hits were still kind of a problem. He just
16:03
Speaker 10: hadn't let him score and that's a skill too, but
16:06
Speaker 10: at some point that was probably going to catch up
16:08
Speaker 10: to him.
16:08
Speaker 7: So I don't right exactly.
16:11
Speaker 10: And remember Chad Patrick was the odd man out last
16:13
Speaker 10: year when Brandon woodrif came back in the rotation. I
16:15
Speaker 10: just wonder if he's I don't know, I mean, he
16:18
Speaker 10: pitched the second game of the year, but like he's
16:20
Speaker 10: also I feel like maybe the fifth guy right now.
16:23
Speaker 4: And it's a great observation.
16:25
Speaker 10: I wonder what Chad Patrick's role would be and if
16:27
Speaker 10: it would be middle relief and how well he would
16:29
Speaker 10: do with that mentally, physically, everything. So that's just something
16:33
Speaker 10: to watch going forward is they clearly think they think
16:37
Speaker 10: that the strategy because they've done it twice, the opener
16:40
Speaker 10: strategy with Chad Patrick gives them the best.
16:42
Speaker 7: Chance to win.
16:42
Speaker 10: But I do wonder if they'll switch that up and
16:45
Speaker 10: what happens when Priester comes back and how that that
16:48
Speaker 10: all shakes out. Although you look at the era and
16:50
Speaker 10: you say, wow, he's been one of your best, if
16:52
Speaker 10: not your best, starting pitchers.
16:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing, and I think that's a great
16:55
Speaker 4: observation owner.
16:56
Speaker 8: I think the the the point about it being sounds strategy,
16:59
Speaker 8: which I think can be true, and also the point
17:01
Speaker 8: about him being frustrated by it, those can both be true.
17:04
Speaker 8: It might be good strategy, but it also might frustrate
17:06
Speaker 8: Chad Patrick, who might say to himself, Hey, what am
17:08
Speaker 8: I gonna get my shot to be a regular starter.
17:10
Speaker 8: You know, I've been that guy. This maybe a little
17:12
Speaker 8: chip on his shoulder, Especially the way he pitched in
17:14
Speaker 8: the playoffs last year. I think he was really getting
17:16
Speaker 8: the playoffs. He probably felt like, Hey, I deserved my shot.
17:19
Speaker 8: But it's one of those things where you know, sometimes
17:22
Speaker 8: fans also have a hard time understanding these days that
17:24
Speaker 8: like pitchers will give up runs from time to time,
17:27
Speaker 8: like it's like this guy gave up runs, let's you know,
17:29
Speaker 8: let's jump ship on him, like that's the instinct. Sometimes
17:32
Speaker 8: we get so frustrated, but it is something that's going
17:34
Speaker 8: to happen from time to time.
17:35
Speaker 4: And it's still April right.
17:38
Speaker 3: Well totally.
17:38
Speaker 10: And you remember like last year when they did the
17:40
Speaker 10: opener Billy as you mentioned for Priester, like that was
17:44
Speaker 10: that was in the midst of Priester not pitching all
17:46
Speaker 10: that well, that was after that May outing against the Cubs, well,
17:49
Speaker 10: when he had an opener, and unfortunately that was one
17:52
Speaker 10: of his worst, if maybe not the worst outing he's
17:54
Speaker 10: had as a brewer. And then things turned from there
17:56
Speaker 10: and they won like nineteen games in a row with
17:58
Speaker 10: him on the mound. But they had we had the
18:00
Speaker 10: combination a couple times in like late May early June
18:03
Speaker 10: of a dl Hall and then Quinn Priester, and that
18:05
Speaker 10: netted you in those two starts seventeen innings of three runs,
18:09
Speaker 10: just three runs given.
18:10
Speaker 7: Up of those two.
18:11
Speaker 10: So like the opener works, and Chad Patrick last time
18:15
Speaker 10: he came in with three scoreless innings after an opener,
18:18
Speaker 10: So I don't think we should overreact to last night.
18:20
Speaker 10: I know people are kind of inherently against the opener
18:23
Speaker 10: and say, well, why not just have Chad Patrick start
18:26
Speaker 10: and DL Hall after. Either way, you're trying to get
18:27
Speaker 10: these same amount of innings just in a different way.
18:30
Speaker 10: And we'll see if last night, you know, affects how
18:33
Speaker 10: they decide that moving forward. If Pat Murphy, who said,
18:36
Speaker 10: you know, we didn't pitch well, DL Hall or Chad Patrick,
18:39
Speaker 10: If that's the case, I wonder if they maybe try
18:41
Speaker 10: to do something different.
18:42
Speaker 4: Interesting closing thought for a Hunter Bombgart here Buruce had
18:46
Speaker 4: six singles last night. They also had five walks. But Hunter,
18:49
Speaker 4: I've been watching with interest your guy Garrett Mitchell because
18:52
Speaker 4: he's fascinating to me because of how much he walks
18:55
Speaker 4: and strikes out. Yeah, like his batting average we looked at,
19:00
Speaker 4: yes said batting average on balls and play five hundred
19:02
Speaker 4: and twenty four or something like that, and he barrels
19:04
Speaker 4: balls a lot twenties. So he's like walk, strikeout or
19:08
Speaker 4: hit the ball hard somewhere and probably get a hit.
19:12
Speaker 10: Yeah, totally my Hey, Hunt, you wake up, time to
19:17
Speaker 10: come to talk to what are we talking about?
19:18
Speaker 4: How to talk to the huddle?
19:21
Speaker 10: Time to talk to the huddle, is right, just in
19:23
Speaker 10: case I ever forget. That's that's the that's the importantly thing.
19:26
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, very important. Well I want to make sure
19:29
Speaker 7: I'm ready for you guys.
19:30
Speaker 10: Yes, Garrett Mitchell, So coming into yesterday, five yeah, five
19:34
Speaker 10: nineteen banning average with balls in play that was best
19:38
Speaker 10: in baseball, and only one other player in baseball.
19:42
Speaker 7: Was over four hundred coming into yesterday.
19:44
Speaker 10: So it's just I mean, you think about that betting
19:46
Speaker 10: average balls in play, so over half the balls in
19:49
Speaker 10: play that are he's getting hits on, which is wild.
19:52
Speaker 10: And then yeah, twenty seven coming into yesterday, twenty seven
19:55
Speaker 10: strikeouts led the team. The next pert and closest was
19:58
Speaker 10: twenty on the team. But it's it's that the on
20:02
Speaker 10: base percentage is so high because he is getting on
20:05
Speaker 10: base when he puts the ball in play. So yeah,
20:08
Speaker 10: and yesterday, coming in, Garrett Mitchell was the had the
20:10
Speaker 10: best on base percentage in the National League.
20:12
Speaker 7: I go back, I'm sure it's it's the same.
20:14
Speaker 10: I mean the Brewers had coming into yesterday, and I
20:16
Speaker 10: think it'd probably be about the same coming into today.
20:18
Speaker 10: The best two on base percentage numbers in baseball Garrett
20:22
Speaker 10: Mitchell at four thirty seven, Brice to Ring at four twenty.
20:25
Speaker 10: So you have, you know, two guys that are really
20:28
Speaker 10: good at getting on base, and Garrett.
20:29
Speaker 7: Mitchell is fascinating.
20:30
Speaker 10: I wonder how that just how that plays out during
20:32
Speaker 10: the year, how those numbers kind of smooth out, whether
20:35
Speaker 10: you know, it does go down because of the strikeouts
20:38
Speaker 10: or maybe if look, if you can get the strikeouts
20:40
Speaker 10: to go down a little bit, then you're talking even
20:42
Speaker 10: the next level for Garrett Mitchell. So he's been a
20:45
Speaker 10: big reason why they've they've been able to have some
20:47
Speaker 10: success on the offensive side, for sure.
20:48
Speaker 4: Courding to Fangrafts. Right now, Brewers chances of making the
20:51
Speaker 4: playoffs ticulous, forty one point nine percent. That's ridiculous, whereas
20:56
Speaker 4: the Pirates fifty nine point seven percent, Cubs sixty nine percent.
21:03
Speaker 4: Can that be accurately the pot and then of course
21:06
Speaker 4: the Dodgers at ninety nine plus free when you fetured
21:10
Speaker 4: wild card. I just that's hard to believe.
21:11
Speaker 8: They must don't project the Brewers, I guess to I
21:14
Speaker 8: guess now, but that's the same story we've had for
21:16
Speaker 8: the last five years.
21:17
Speaker 4: I mean, the same story. And back to the Cy
21:19
Speaker 4: young joke hunter. It's like, cracks me up that this
21:23
Speaker 4: is the second time it's happened and the first time
21:25
Speaker 4: since last year when the Red Sox did it and
21:27
Speaker 4: David Hamilton was on that team and pinch it in
21:29
Speaker 4: both of those games. Unbelievable.
21:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's it's it's a the David Hamilton effect, as
21:34
Speaker 10: they say, that is what's going on the next.
21:37
Speaker 7: Couple of days.
21:37
Speaker 3: But yeah, we'll see.
21:38
Speaker 10: Hopefully they can get to Schooble today, get the Skeins tomorrow. Hey,
21:41
Speaker 10: take take one of the next two. Would I think
21:43
Speaker 10: we we'd probably be happy with it. But the chances
21:46
Speaker 10: of the Pirates making the you know, being that significantly
21:49
Speaker 10: more better than the than the Brewers right now is blasphemy.
21:53
Speaker 4: I say, I agree, I agree. This is one of
21:55
Speaker 4: those where Sorilla would tell me they're on the schedule,
21:58
Speaker 4: this is the major leagues. I'm like, yeah, you gotta
22:00
Speaker 4: face school and they're on the schedule. Like it's still
22:03
Speaker 4: tough though, and then he would be like, well, what's
22:06
Speaker 4: the difference if we face them back to back or
22:07
Speaker 4: if we face them they're on the schedule. Oh that's fair,
22:10
Speaker 4: that makes sense. Yeah, it's difference you gonna, But I'm
22:12
Speaker 4: a little more daunting when I have to look at
22:13
Speaker 4: it back to back days. Just a little bit, just
22:16
Speaker 4: a little bit. Hey, here's the thing, Billy, Well, you
22:18
Speaker 4: go to the window. Will the Brewers score more than
22:21
Speaker 4: two runs which they got last night in either of
22:23
Speaker 4: the games or both of the games against Scooble. Oo?
22:27
Speaker 4: I think they're going to touch up Schooble today. Come
22:29
Speaker 4: on now, we're gonna touch them up getaway games. That's
22:33
Speaker 4: the moose Bousch for the draft, that coverage, bringing it
22:36
Speaker 4: back for Armin Hunter, Thank you for joining us. Tell
22:39

23:06
Speaker 9: be our safety inspection all night long. He's our generator
23:09
Speaker 9: if we need extra extra electricity and extra energenerator. And
23:13
Speaker 9: let's be honest with it. The home assessment. Hunter's assessing
23:16
Speaker 9: everything that we do. So we're getting all of our
23:18
Speaker 9: bases covered with current electric. Call current dot com. Love
23:21

23:24
Speaker 7: Thank you guys.
23:25
Speaker 4: All right, Hunter Bombgret. When we come back, the Voice
23:27
Speaker 4: of the Packers, Wayne Larry's going to join the party.
23:29
Speaker 4: We will talk draft here and Billy getting warmed up.
23:32
Speaker 4: We are old Baby inside at twelve hours until the
23:35
Speaker 4: chimes start. It's so close the Raiders on the clock.
23:40
Speaker 4: It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, AH. We are
23:49
Speaker 4: inside twelve hours until the draft begins in Pittsburgh this evening.
23:53
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the huddle. Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid, armand
23:56
Speaker 4: Sorry and very special guests. Very happy to welcome the
23:59
Speaker 4: Voice of the Packers, Wayne Larvy to our party. He'll
24:01
Speaker 4: be with Billy tonight on our draft coverage. Wayne. Thanks
24:05
Speaker 4: for getting up early with us. It's a big day, yeah,
24:08
Speaker 4: sure is.
24:09
Speaker 5: And it's an early day every day for you guys,
24:12
Speaker 5: is it it?
24:12
Speaker 9: It is a lot of coffee and a lot of caffeine.
24:15
Speaker 9: Now I get to do that on the both ends
24:18
Speaker 9: here the next couple of days. But Wayne, as the
24:21
Speaker 9: first round commences without the Packers having a first round
24:24
Speaker 9: pick for a time like forty years, they went into
24:27
Speaker 9: the offseason without having it. Obviously they've traded out a
24:29
Speaker 9: couple of times. It's a different view. Also with it
24:33
Speaker 9: not being in Green Bay, there's been a little bit
24:36
Speaker 9: of dampered excitement.
24:38
Speaker 4: How have people around you been talking about it.
24:39
Speaker 9: Has there been just a general consensus of well, it's
24:43
Speaker 9: gonna happen, They're gonna grab a couple of players, or
24:45
Speaker 9: they still have a little bit of the same juice
24:47
Speaker 9: as normal.
24:48
Speaker 6: You know, Billy, It's interesting because I think from the
24:51
Speaker 6: people I hang around with and just the average fans
24:55
Speaker 6: I come in contact with, I don't feel there's a
24:58
Speaker 6: lot of juice right now, and so I think more
25:01
Speaker 6: of it has to do with the fact that the
25:02
Speaker 6: Packers don't have a first round raft choice, and that's
25:06
Speaker 6: a big part of it.
25:08
Speaker 5: The draft in Green Bay last year.
25:09
Speaker 6: Where we had all kinds of juice because it was
25:11
Speaker 6: right in the backyard, but that was more the exception
25:15
Speaker 6: than anything else.
25:16
Speaker 5: But I think really the reason, maybe you know.
25:19
Speaker 6: Things have been tempered a little bit around here, is
25:21
Speaker 6: the fact that the Packers don't have a first round pick.
25:23
Speaker 6: I think there'll be a lot of interest tomorrow as
25:25
Speaker 6: to where the Packers go with their picks in the
25:27
Speaker 6: second to third round.
25:29
Speaker 4: So they're going to grab some players as they always do.
25:32
Speaker 4: But to Billy's point, the juice of tonight is just
25:36
Speaker 4: to watch the other stories. Wayne, we were in the
25:38
Speaker 4: belly of the beast? How where were you last year?
25:41
Speaker 4: Like the national story and what ESPN was pounding was
25:44
Speaker 4: Shador Sanders, and we weren't as focused on that. For
25:48
Speaker 4: what it seems like for me, I know I wasn't.
25:50
Speaker 4: I was like that was out on the side, and
25:52
Speaker 4: it's I know, it's always different when you're at a
25:54
Speaker 4: game as opposed to watching a game, or at an
25:56
Speaker 4: event as opposed to watching it. But what was your
25:59
Speaker 4: take last year when that happened? How fascinated were you
26:02
Speaker 4: by that subplot and what subplots could we see tonight
26:05
Speaker 4: and this weekend?
26:06
Speaker 6: You know, we were very fascinated by it, at least
26:09
Speaker 6: those of us that were on the air at the time,
26:12
Speaker 6: we weren't quite sure where that quarterback was going to go,
26:15
Speaker 6: and that story drew as the weekend went along, really
26:19
Speaker 6: picked up steam, and so I think that it kind
26:22
Speaker 6: of evolved. Although ESPN certainly was shoving the narrative a
26:26
Speaker 6: lot faster than a lot earlier than most other people.
26:30
Speaker 6: But nonetheless, I think that you know, when you look
26:33
Speaker 6: at this particular draft, is there a player like.
26:35
Speaker 5: That in this draft?
26:37
Speaker 6: Not really nobody with that kind of moved the needle
26:41
Speaker 6: type of name recognition.
26:43
Speaker 9: It was one of the funniest parts of our broadcast
26:46
Speaker 9: last year, though, because I think it was middle of
26:48
Speaker 9: Day two, Doug Russell had said He's like, guys, I
26:50
Speaker 9: don't know if he's going to get drafted.
26:52
Speaker 4: Wayne and I looked at he. We're talking to each other, like, Doug,
26:55
Speaker 4: he's going to get draft. He's got to get drafted,
26:57
Speaker 4: all right, I don't know what you're talking about here.
26:59
Speaker 5: He's going to get drafted.
27:00
Speaker 4: And then all mounting on Day three, there was a moment,
27:03
Speaker 4: I think when both of us got to the fifth route,
27:05
Speaker 4: We're like, we might know, Doug an apology, he might
27:07
Speaker 4: not be getting drafted. This is a crazy situation for him.
27:10
Speaker 9: Wayne, there's different positions, and this is a weaker draft
27:15
Speaker 9: in terms of a lot of blue chip players. I
27:17
Speaker 9: think you're looking at a lot of similar talented players
27:20
Speaker 9: when you're talking like middle of round one, potentially all
27:23
Speaker 9: the way to Round three. Like, it all get ends
27:25
Speaker 9: up being situation opportunity and one that I think is
27:30
Speaker 9: gonna be really really tough for these talent evaluators to understand.
27:34
Speaker 4: And we've seen it a lot.
27:35
Speaker 9: Like one of my favorite guys, Dominique Orange, not only
27:37
Speaker 9: because I want to hear Wayne Larrvy call a big
27:39
Speaker 9: citrus TfL at some particular point off he's playing for
27:42
Speaker 9: the Packers, but like the biggest knock on him is
27:45
Speaker 9: he can be immovable when he wants to be Understanding
27:49
Speaker 9: these players has got to be tougher. When a lot
27:51
Speaker 9: of them haven't even been in a program for two
27:54
Speaker 9: or three off seasons of training, you might have a
27:57
Speaker 9: lot of unmolded pieces of clay.
28:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, a big citrus. That'd be fun to
28:03
Speaker 6: have him on the football team. It early would number one.
28:06
Speaker 6: They do need somebody to be immovable in the middle
28:09
Speaker 6: of that defensive line. But that would be an interesting pick,
28:14
Speaker 6: no doubt, and he could go second day of the draft.
28:17
Speaker 6: There's no doubt in my mind he will go in
28:19
Speaker 6: the second day of the draft. But no, this is
28:23
Speaker 6: a draft.
28:24
Speaker 5: Billy. You and I talked the other day.
28:25
Speaker 6: I think there might be right now eight, maybe nine
28:30
Speaker 6: guys who are really playmaking, blue chip players, and one
28:34
Speaker 6: of them is not the player who will be picked
28:36
Speaker 6: first in the draft. Okay, but well, I'm talking about
28:39
Speaker 6: guys like you know, I think the biggest playmaker in
28:43
Speaker 6: this draft is the running back out of Notre Dame,
28:45
Speaker 6: Jeremiah Love. He's the guy who can make you plays
28:49
Speaker 6: right now, off the bus, step into a uniform, step
28:52
Speaker 6: on the field, make plays today.
28:54
Speaker 5: A couple of other guys sunny styles. They really like him.
28:57
Speaker 5: He's a now off the ball linebacker Caleb Downs.
29:01
Speaker 6: He's an instinctive safety out of Ohio State that makes
29:05
Speaker 6: plays but didn't make a lot of them last year
29:08
Speaker 6: and people are kind of downgrading him on that.
29:10
Speaker 5: But he has all the ability in the world. You know,
29:13
Speaker 5: when I look at some of these other guys.
29:14
Speaker 6: David Bailey maybe the best pure pass rusher in this draft.
29:18
Speaker 6: Some have said the offensive lineman, you've got a couple
29:21
Speaker 6: of good ones at the top, but most of these
29:24
Speaker 6: offensive linemen, these tackles project either to right tackle or
29:29
Speaker 6: inside the guard. So it's a strange draft in that
29:32
Speaker 6: we don't have a great deal of stour power at
29:36
Speaker 6: the top of it, and we only have really one
29:37
Speaker 6: quarterback at best two who would go in the first
29:40
Speaker 6: round of the draft.
29:41
Speaker 4: Well, it seems like you weren't as convinced on his
29:43
Speaker 4: ability to be a game changer.
29:44
Speaker 5: Wayne.
29:44
Speaker 8: Do you think he's a dead overrated or is that
29:46
Speaker 8: the position? And do you think that's just the way
29:48
Speaker 8: things go in the draft when it comes to quarterbacks.
29:51
Speaker 6: When it comes quarterbacks, Yeah, I think the position merits.
29:54
Speaker 6: I think Fernando, from what I've read and from what
29:57
Speaker 6: I've seen and heard on the Mendoza on the NFL level,
30:01
Speaker 6: is probably going to be a good not great starter, Okay, good,
30:06
Speaker 6: not great. He's getting going number one, number one on
30:09
Speaker 6: the draft. And you think, you know, you're thinking Caleb Williams,
30:12
Speaker 6: you're thinking Trevor Lawrence, you're thinking Joe Burrow, that kind
30:16
Speaker 6: of player, and he's not that kind of player, and
30:18
Speaker 6: I don't think he ever will be. And you know,
30:20
Speaker 6: maybe in the right system, he could be very effective.
30:23
Speaker 6: I think that's that's a big if. But no, he
30:27
Speaker 6: certainly merits going number one in this draft if you
30:30
Speaker 6: need a quarterback, because he's about the only guy who's
30:33
Speaker 6: somewhat NFL ready.
30:35
Speaker 4: In my opinion, Wayne, we've pretty much dismissed the idea
30:37
Speaker 4: of the Packers trading up into the first round, But
30:39
Speaker 4: what if they traded back to get more picks given
30:42
Speaker 4: the way the talent is dispersed throughout the Day two,
30:46
Speaker 4: Day three, guys, what do you think of the possibility?
30:48
Speaker 6: You know, Andrew, I think that's a good possibility, but
30:52
Speaker 6: you have to be careful. You don't want to trade
30:54
Speaker 6: too far back because what we're seeing in this draft,
30:57
Speaker 6: and some scouts that I've read and talked to have
31:01
Speaker 6: talked about the fact that nil is now having an
31:03
Speaker 6: impact on the draft. And the impact isn't so much
31:06
Speaker 6: on the first top ten, top fifteen, first round, or
31:09
Speaker 6: even the second round, but you get into the later
31:12
Speaker 6: stages of the third and fourth round, you're not getting
31:15
Speaker 6: the same quality of player.
31:16
Speaker 5: Why Well, because a lot of underclassmen have decided to
31:19
Speaker 5: stay in school and make a million bucks.
31:21
Speaker 6: Some of them can make that much money or five
31:23
Speaker 6: hundred thousand or something or more than they're going to
31:26
Speaker 6: make if they're a Day three pick in the NFL draft.
31:29
Speaker 5: So that has taken the third day of the draft
31:32
Speaker 5: and really made it a hard round.
31:36
Speaker 6: Let me put it this way, it's going to be
31:38
Speaker 6: tougher to get players in rounds four, five, and six
31:41
Speaker 6: than it has been in the past because you don't
31:43
Speaker 6: have the same quality of player there.
31:45
Speaker 5: Now. The scouts will all deny this, and the scouts
31:47
Speaker 5: will say, well, we know what we're doing. We know
31:49
Speaker 5: that's the scouts day, and it is.
31:51
Speaker 6: But I think the talent level of the player on
31:54
Speaker 6: Day three of the draft has been impacted negatively by
31:58
Speaker 6: the nil because kids are saying in college longer. And
32:01
Speaker 6: the other thing is Goody talked about in his press conference,
32:04
Speaker 6: you're drafting older players, you just are, Yeah.
32:07
Speaker 9: And I think the older players is another part of
32:09
Speaker 9: a huge piece of it, Wayne, because there's a lot
32:11
Speaker 9: more of them that are the player they're going to
32:14
Speaker 9: be right Like once you your athletic prime might be
32:17
Speaker 9: twenty six, twenty seven, but in football, a lot of
32:19
Speaker 9: times by twenty four to twenty five, we know exactly
32:21
Speaker 9: where your ceiling is going to be and it can
32:24
Speaker 9: be difficult to think that you can get more out
32:27
Speaker 9: of a guy like that, and for specific positions obviously,
32:31
Speaker 9: defenses where people are dialed in on corner seems like
32:35
Speaker 9: a big spot. Do you have a feeling as they've
32:39
Speaker 9: gone a lot of big school guys. I know, the
32:41
Speaker 9: young man from Ohio State is right there. We talked
32:43
Speaker 9: to our friend Rieg's earlier on. He really likes Everett
32:46
Speaker 9: the Georgia Bulldog.
32:47
Speaker 4: It does feel like they trend big school in this
32:51
Speaker 4: and I can't say I don't like that that I
32:53
Speaker 4: wouldn't do the same. I want you going up against
32:56
Speaker 4: the best wide receivers in the country week in and
32:58
Speaker 4: week out, so you're hardened to go up against some
33:01
Speaker 4: of these guys that you're going to see in the NFL.
33:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, and there are a lot of guys
33:06
Speaker 5: in that category, Drew. I mean, I think Malik Muhammad
33:10
Speaker 5: out of Texas.
33:11
Speaker 6: You know, he'll certainly be there Day two of the draft.
33:14
Speaker 6: And there are a couple of other guys you look at.
33:17
Speaker 6: You know, the Ohio State kid, big Bin Notison, I
33:21
Speaker 6: believe is how you pronounce his name. You know, that's
33:24
Speaker 6: a guy you take a look at you wonder when
33:27
Speaker 6: the run on cornerbacks is going to be.
33:29
Speaker 5: Can the Packers wait to round three to make that
33:32
Speaker 5: cornerback pick.
33:34
Speaker 6: A lot of people tell me that if far as
33:36
Speaker 6: the depth of that position goes, you could probably wait
33:39
Speaker 6: into the third round. I wouldn't wait much longer than
33:42
Speaker 6: that to get my first cornerback. I think they're going
33:44
Speaker 6: to double down to the position. I think they'll get
33:46
Speaker 6: two cornerbacks out of this draft. I think they'll get
33:49
Speaker 6: two offensive linemen out of this draft. The other positions,
33:52
Speaker 6: I kind of think the board will dictate where they
33:55
Speaker 6: go as far as maybe defensive tackle, edge rusher of
33:58
Speaker 6: that kind of thing.
33:59
Speaker 4: Even when the Packers pick in the early to mid
34:02
Speaker 4: or hopefully late twenties, you know, or even even beyond that,
34:06
Speaker 4: it's hard to pick the player that they're going to take.
34:09
Speaker 4: It's hard to pick the position they're going to take.
34:10
Speaker 4: So if they hold the pick at fifty two and
34:12
Speaker 4: they're ready and they're on the clock, and I had
34:14
Speaker 4: to guess, I'm saying corner tackle, offensive lineman, or defensive tackle,
34:21
Speaker 4: so I have a I think I think I've I'm
34:23
Speaker 4: pretty safe with those three positions being at the top
34:25
Speaker 4: of their board at fifty two, Wayne, which one would
34:28
Speaker 4: you say is most likely? Because it's like whichever one
34:31
Speaker 4: I pick, they'll go another direction.
34:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think cornerback is. And again it depends on
34:36
Speaker 6: what kind of run we see in the first round
34:39
Speaker 6: and late first round at the early second round of
34:41
Speaker 6: the cornerback position. But I think that's somewhere, you know,
34:46
Speaker 6: and I understand what Brian has said publicly and all that,
34:49
Speaker 6: and he has to say the things he said publicly,
34:52
Speaker 6: but you know, I think that those of us who
34:54
Speaker 6: watch all these games the Packers have, you know, they
34:57
Speaker 6: must upgrade the cornerback position. I don't think there's any
35:00
Speaker 6: doubt about that. I think they tried a free agency
35:04
Speaker 6: and Benjamin Saint just is better than probably Nate Hobbs
35:07
Speaker 6: at this stage of the game, and so that's been
35:09
Speaker 6: an upgrade there.
35:10
Speaker 5: But I think, you know, you need to do more
35:12
Speaker 5: at that position.
35:14
Speaker 6: And so, you know, will somebody tumble into the second
35:17
Speaker 6: round that could come in and maybe make a difference
35:20
Speaker 6: as a rookie, and I think that's what you're looking
35:22
Speaker 6: for if you go cornerback, if you go defensive tackle,
35:25
Speaker 6: maybe a little high in the second round.
35:27
Speaker 5: I'm looking third and fourth.
35:28
Speaker 6: Round for the defensive tackle, because I'm talking about an
35:31
Speaker 6: interior guy who basically is going to play two downs
35:34
Speaker 6: to stop the run and get off the field. But
35:37
Speaker 6: some of the other aspects, you know, edge rusher is
35:39
Speaker 6: an area that I this is the deepest position in
35:42
Speaker 6: the draft room, and it wouldn't surprise me at all
35:45
Speaker 6: if with the second pick, second round pick, the Packers
35:47
Speaker 6: taken edge rusher.
35:49
Speaker 4: Does Michael parsons injury early in the season impact that
35:52
Speaker 4: the Packers don't usually do anything by need or what
35:55
Speaker 4: we think, you know, holes to plug for a couple
35:57
Speaker 4: of weeks. Yeah, but does that, you know the does
36:00
Speaker 4: that enter the calculus?
36:02
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
36:03
Speaker 6: I think the fact is the Packers need somebody opposite
36:06
Speaker 6: Micah Parsons who has to be held accountable as a
36:09
Speaker 6: pass rusher by the opposing offense, and that's what they need,
36:14
Speaker 6: and so I think that dictates it more than anything else.
36:16
Speaker 6: Regardless of whether Mike is there from day one of
36:18
Speaker 6: the regular season on, it doesn't matter. They need somebody
36:22
Speaker 6: else besides him to step to the four. Do they
36:24
Speaker 6: have that on the roster? I don't know. I don't know.
36:28
Speaker 6: We've seen these guys flash. We've seen Lucas van Ness flash.
36:32
Speaker 6: But you know here we are three years into the
36:34
Speaker 6: mission and we still have question marks.
36:36
Speaker 9: I can't wait for my man Brenton Cox to get
36:38
Speaker 9: the full offseason and maybe he could be something. But
36:41
Speaker 9: I think almost the loss of the right another guy
36:43
Speaker 9: that is had a nice couple of moments, but I almost.
36:46
Speaker 4: Think the loss of an Agbar is probably even more needing.
36:49
Speaker 4: Somebody there Wayne one of my two positions that I
36:52
Speaker 4: think are the wildcard ones that they definitely need. They
36:55
Speaker 4: need help at tight end, They definitely need a depth
36:58
Speaker 4: piece at tight end. I wouldn't be surprised if they
37:00
Speaker 4: go running back earlier than not, because if you don't
37:02
Speaker 4: get one early, I don't know who you're getting.
37:05
Speaker 9: And what do you think on inside linebacker you lose
37:07
Speaker 9: kway Walker. Obviously Tyron Hopper's a third round pick from
37:10
Speaker 9: a couple of years ago. But those are some players
37:13
Speaker 9: that right in that second round range. There are some
37:16
Speaker 9: guys that are extremely highly tired, and I only bring
37:18
Speaker 9: in Franklin that might be a one year fix. Where
37:21
Speaker 9: do you see some of those positions that people haven't
37:23
Speaker 9: talked about really asnefite needs.
37:26
Speaker 6: If they go inside linebacker, especially in the second round
37:29
Speaker 6: even the third, then you know this they're picking the
37:32
Speaker 6: best player on their board, that's for sure, because that's
37:36
Speaker 6: not a position of need, immediate need right now. And
37:39
Speaker 6: the draft is not about filling immediate needs. Yeah, you
37:43
Speaker 6: want some contribution from your draft class, and you want
37:46
Speaker 6: to draft players that are eventually going to fill a
37:48
Speaker 6: need on your football team. But I think where we
37:52
Speaker 6: get into trouble, as observers and sometimes teams do, is
37:55
Speaker 6: early on in the draft. They're picking a player that
37:57
Speaker 6: they feel, this guy's got to come in right right
38:00
Speaker 6: now and get us sixteen sacks and do this and
38:03
Speaker 6: do that. And Caleb Down's got to come in and
38:05
Speaker 6: run our defense, and Sonny Styles has got to come
38:08
Speaker 6: in and absolutely wear the green dot and run this
38:12
Speaker 6: defense from the second level. Those guys, you know, that's
38:15
Speaker 6: asking a lot of young players coming into the NFL,
38:19
Speaker 6: even if they have been at a place like Ohio State,
38:21
Speaker 6: which with Matt Patricia ran an NFL's type of defense.
38:25
Speaker 5: So but it's it's a lot to ask. Remember two
38:29
Speaker 5: things about the draft.
38:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to get some help from your draft
38:32
Speaker 6: picks this year, but this is about the future, not
38:35
Speaker 6: as much about the present as people would think. And
38:38
Speaker 6: the smart teams are drafting for two years, three years
38:42
Speaker 6: down the road.
38:43
Speaker 7: I like that.
38:43
Speaker 4: I like to consider the Packers a smart team that
38:46
Speaker 4: we follow. Let's see Jacob Rodriguez. Let's see Jacob Rodrigez.
38:50
Speaker 4: Let's get that. You're come on. My interest will peak
38:53
Speaker 4: tonight at Picks twenty, which is the Cowboys pick that
38:56
Speaker 4: they got from the Packers for Michael Parsons. See if
38:58
Speaker 4: they hold on to it or what they do with that,
38:59
Speaker 4: and because that's we're going to be We're gonna be
39:02
Speaker 4: rolling that name around in our heads if the Cowboys
39:04
Speaker 4: take a player because that was the Packers pick. And
39:06
Speaker 4: also twenty one, Wayne, if you're running the Pittsburgh Steelers operation.
39:09
Speaker 4: Last year, the Packers had Mark Murphy come out, he
39:11
Speaker 4: introduced Matthew Golden. The place goes nuts. Who would you
39:14
Speaker 4: have make the steel announced the Steelers pick? Is it Roethlisberger?
39:17
Speaker 4: Is at Bradshaw? Is it both of those guys? Aaron Rodgers?
39:20
Speaker 4: Perhaps I've been joking that Aaron Rodgers come out and
39:22
Speaker 4: say I'm coming back and my newest teammate is with
39:24
Speaker 4: the twenty perst selection. I don't want him to get
39:26
Speaker 4: pool love it. Yeah, you're ready might get booed there.
39:28
Speaker 4: But what do you think is going to happen when
39:30
Speaker 4: when the Steelers make their pick, well.
39:33
Speaker 6: Short of Mike McCarthy coming out to make the pick, Yeah,
39:38
Speaker 6: I think they'll go standard. The Steelers aren't flashy group,
39:43
Speaker 6: you know. I think they'll play it by the book
39:46
Speaker 6: and Roger Goodell will make that choice. But what an
39:49
Speaker 6: electric moment that was a year ago when yeah, you
39:52
Speaker 6: know Roger Goodell brought Mark Murphy, no, let him make
39:56
Speaker 6: that pickpecially yeah, yep.
39:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the crowd that web nuts that night. It
40:02
Speaker 5: was it was a surreal.
40:03
Speaker 6: Lot of fans who were there that night said it
40:06
Speaker 6: was their greatest sports moment ever.
40:08
Speaker 5: Wow, that wasn't even a game.
40:10
Speaker 4: That's why I think they're gonna try to replicate it
40:12
Speaker 4: somehow in Pittsburgh're gonna.
40:15
Speaker 9: If they do well, good thing is we won't need
40:17
Speaker 9: to replicate the space heaters to do the broadcast here tonight. Wait,
40:21
Speaker 9: you're show me nice and warm inside the studio presented
40:23
Speaker 9: by Potawatamee Sports Book. The only heat in the sweat
40:26
Speaker 9: that's gonna be happening is me making sure that there's
40:28
Speaker 9: gonna be eight offensive linemen taking this first round. Eight
40:31
Speaker 9: offensive lineman. That was the number of the Potawatame sports
40:33
Speaker 9: book a couple of days ago. Already up to eight
40:35
Speaker 9: and a half. So that's gonna be the only heat
40:37
Speaker 9: that's rolling in this Dude, lock it in, Billy, lock
40:39
Speaker 9: it in.

41:57
Speaker 9: to go with that because Rick Flair claiming that he
41:59
Speaker 9: doubled up Wilt's.
42:00
Speaker 4: Ten thousand record and that that's impressed. That's very impressive.
42:04
Speaker 4: He said, I blew by Wilt when I was thirty nine.
42:07
Speaker 4: He's seventy six years old right now. So if you're
42:09
Speaker 4: doing the math, nature boys dropping it all over the place.
42:13
Speaker 9: But maybe Mike Vrabel is hoping that he could get
42:16
Speaker 9: to that point, or he's gonna stop before he gets there.
42:18
Speaker 9: He will seek counseling and won't be with the Patriots
42:21
Speaker 9: on Day three of the NFL Draft. Well, the Patriots,
42:23
Speaker 9: that's not a big deal right there. Just in the
42:25
Speaker 9: super Bowl they got eleven picks, eight of which are
42:27
Speaker 9: on Saturday. He said, as I said the other day,
42:31
Speaker 9: I promise my family, this organization, this team, I was
42:33
Speaker 9: gonna be give them the best version of myself I
42:34
Speaker 9: could possibly be. In order to do that, I have
42:37
Speaker 9: committed to seeking counseling starting this weekend. Wait, we couldn't
42:42
Speaker 9: start this next weekend, coach. We couldn't start this when
42:45
Speaker 9: we're not working on Saturday. We drew, guys are more
42:49
Speaker 9: willing to go to therapy than the draft. Second round
42:52
Speaker 9: pick or fourth round picks in this tree is absolutely bizarre.
42:55
Speaker 9: Back to the you think, is there something else gonna drop?
42:58
Speaker 4: What do we got?
42:59
Speaker 9: I was gonna say either that or he just dropped
43:01
Speaker 9: an absolute tanker truck on Diana Rassin.
43:03
Speaker 4: He's nothing to see here. Statement, Wow is bizarre?
43:06
Speaker 6: All right?
43:06
Speaker 4: Tonight we got well first of all Brewers doubleheader, Brewers
43:10
Speaker 4: Tigers versus Scooble, and then all the draft covered starts
43:14
Speaker 4: tonight at seven with Billy and Wayne. Thanks for hanging
43:17
Speaker 4: out with us in the huddle, have fun tonight, Billy,
43:18
Speaker 4: thank you, brother Peace.
