  Speaker 1: Is on the air, dominating a Thursday in the good
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Land the Huddle Drew, Billy and arm and bringing it
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to a Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine twenty, Milwaukee ten
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: seventy Madison. You can reach us eight seven seven seven
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: nine seven three or comment on the YouTube stream. And
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we're also on X and Facebook having some fun cleaning
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: up the dust bunnies under the matches, under the bed
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: one yes, yeah, good way back. Meanwhile, back here among
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the tire and strip club ads we're talking about because
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it's it's a slow time in sports where post draft
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: baseball still rumbling. Brewers have a twelve forty game against
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks today. We'll talk to Hunter Bombgart about last
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: night's game and today's game at seven thirty today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And still first round in the NHL and NBA playoffs,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: which feels like where you're just like the early part
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: of the season, you're still getting acclimated to what the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: playoffs look like.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Drew, last night was a good one.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was captivated with Orlando and Detroit.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: That was a phenomenal one.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Lakers, I mean we touched on a little bit, Lakers,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: just letting Houston hang around, hang around, hang around.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Houston get a challenged without KD. Right, they're like they
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: want to.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: They've played their last two games one last two games
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: without them. They've played four of the five games in
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the series without them. You could easily say Houston's outplayed
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the Lakers in each of the last three games because
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the Lakers kind of got lucky to be able to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: win their third of the of the series. It's a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: phenomenal series to know, and also comes into maybe KD
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't play for the Rockets and they'll be better off.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That is, because they all just might hate each other.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: They used to call that the Uh wasn't that the
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Patrick Ewing effect drew where all of a sudden your
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: best player's gone and you start winning. Now, who knows,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I mean if that's reality or not short term thing,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: but you're right, Billy, sometimes you do. We saw a
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: little bit with the Honest guys who played differently when
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: your honest was out and then the flow was different.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Things like that. Sometimes it's just the way it goes.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: That's a very intriguing series, There's no question about it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: That thing might go you know, seven and we'll see
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: what happens then. So all right, two more.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: To clip off from the Meanwhile, back here among the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: tyrant strip club ads, Brandon Ayuk, ooh, Bueler, anyone Buehler
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is even in the country, like their speculation that he's like.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I'm the lamb.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about somebody that's close to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: m I a in in the NFL as ever before
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it would be him just not answering his phone.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I see a top five receiver in the league.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So no, I don't. I think he's he's paid like one,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: or he got he's signed a contract.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say in that term, but in terms
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of performance, can you obviously justin Jefferson, there's there's some
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: good dudes.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought there was this.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I thought there was a separation, but I thought he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: was in that second team.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I thought he was in that second tier behind the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the Jeffersons and Chases and those guys. But like I mean,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson er company like that. Those guys get paid
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: like that, and they're the ones that you think of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuka, George Pickens. I'd rather, Oh that's tough, that's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a good one. Yeah, I think the same caliber of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: player though, right it be a thousand yard receiver when
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: given the opportunity.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yep, okay, But that story, like I thought he's going
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to be traded, Like everybody thinks he's going to Washington.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: He's out of the country, like and this story is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: just like not getting any juice or oxygen right now,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: at least not in our our our radar, luckily, because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the Packers don't want to trade for him, I think.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But like there's a he was if you do localize it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He was the last guy reportedly that the Packers had
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a first round grade on at the wide receiver position
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: when they drafted Jordan Love in twenty twenty, okay, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: he was the one that a lot of people thought
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they were going to potentially go up and trade four
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: because they weren't going to be able to get up
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: high enough to get Justin Jefferson. And when the forty
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: nine ers take a Yuk, then you fall into well,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: let's make sure that we get somebody out of here
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that we think is a first rounder. And that's when
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: they trade up to twenty six to get Jordan. But
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: i Yuk signs the deal, they wipe off the guaranteed
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: money on his contract because he doesn't show up and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the conduct detrimental to the team. But the weird like
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: cat and mouse game or it looks like just a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: big game of chicken right now, is like teams know
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that the forty nine ers are he's not going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: play for the forty nine ers again, so they're just
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: waiting for them to cut him so then there's no
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: money attached to the contract and they can sign him
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to whatever they want. And the forty nine ers are like, well, no,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you don't have to pay the guaranteed money. You negotiate
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the contract once you get him, but give us a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: seventh round pick for him. And they're all just staring
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: at each other, and I get the forty nine ers
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: side of it, like, brother, we waited for you all
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: last year, We'll wait for.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You all this year.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter to us now you're off the team, basically,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but we prefer to not just let you have your way.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, it seems like a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: great power play that we're going to see play out
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: for the next couple of months because he desperately wants
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to go to Washington and play with Jaden Daniels, his
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: former college teammate. How long and how difficult do the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers make it? On the other layer of this,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: who's the Commander's GM Adam Peters, who is the right
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hand man of San Francisco forty nine Ers GM John
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Lynch for all those numbers. So there's a good dynamic
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: going between they.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Having the Ian Rappaport of scrabbed it on the Pat
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: McAfee show. As you know, back when you're in high
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: school and you you calling girls, and then you're talking
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: to a girl, and then you know you want to
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: hang up, and then you say, no, you hang up,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: and no, you hang up first. So I thought that
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: was an interesting metaphor that he had pulled out a
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: high school conversation. But hey, listen the reality.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Take a page from our boy, Kato Kalin's book, First
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: one I hang up is the greatest hangs up on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you shout out to shout.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport for signing a new contract yesterday. Yeah, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: saw that was a you know, we always joke about
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it news getting broken by Pro Football talk.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: True, like these guys at the Star, these guys had
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: their own reporting of their own contracts.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Other insiders, other networks reporting on THEO.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: How good of an insider are you?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: If you can't get your own scoop on yourself, why
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: would you report it yourself?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: How good of an insider are you if you don't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have your own scoop?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Well, but doesn't it look cooler when somebody reports your own.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I may be an old man at Clouds Sports was
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: better when we didn't really care about contracts for players
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: much less insiders.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: But inside wild drinking.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: But that's what you're you're paying for for those great metaphors. No,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: but it is interesting. I mean it's like, then the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: the other X factor of that is, yeah, Brandon Dyuk
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: is like not contact the ball, Like no one can
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: contact him right now. I don't know if he's in
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: the country FaceTime. And then it's like, well, who's his representation?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Is he have it?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: You know it's interesting because I said to myself, well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: we're other situations like that. Well, we haven't heard from
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: bj Rodger in ten years, you know, so I guess
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: who's gonna who're gonna hear from? There are some guys
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that just disappear.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: It's true now obviously still playing, but we kind of
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: thought that Rodger might be still.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Playing at least announced his retirement. He did say, you
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: know what, guys, I actually I wonder.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: If the Packers ever said, hey, bj, I want to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: come back to alumni weekend and do the coin toss thing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And I've been waiting for that. We are gonna hear
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: from him do it one day.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe he just is done and done, and that's that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: part of my life is over. Like, I don't know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you see Jeremy Burnitt's back at the ballpark on ninety
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: night anytime soon?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: That's fair?
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Would there be more?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Would that be more of just hard feelings or just
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: him just not wanting feelings? Just he just and Jeremy
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: always struck me as a guy who I'm busy living life.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: He was into He like he would rather be surfing
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: or riding a motorcycle than playing baseball.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He played baseball because it's the way he made money.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: He was good at it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: But he's like, yeah, fly in for a weekend and
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: get around of applause. I think anybody you want that?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, man, But when you did that,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I my encounters with him, I don't know that he's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: wired that way. Yeah, it's a free hotel room in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a free flight. Yeah, but even then does he what
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: do he do? I I don't know, Like I'll have
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to check in with the icon Cerrillo and Jenkins and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: some of those guys like you guys ever talked to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: him contact at all, Like he's just chilling living his life.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Well, Jeff isn't because he can't find his phone. But uh,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: you know that's true. Yeah, I always wonder that are
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: they in contact and get the word out and stuff
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I got one more for you before we get to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: who's hot and who's not. Meanwhile, back here among the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: tired strip club ats, it took me, It lasted longer
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: than I thought. But the Live Golf tours imploding and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is about to about to go away. Wall Street Journal
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: said they're like this week like they're gonna like Saudi's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: are gonna stop funding it?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Well, and Live Golf said, not so fast, my friends,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: as they put out within the last hour their new
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: strategic board appointments and expanded strategy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Good luck that if you read through the.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Entire conversation is like, hey, so now that we don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have saudy money, we're gonna have to be like a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: real business and we're going to have to certain find
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: investors across the trying and no one was paying attention
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to them before. And now so my thing is, if
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: this goes away with you know, they might play out
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the string this year or whatever, but it goes away,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and now the tour is like those guys who left
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit, kind of like scabs in the Players Union,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like, oh, I don't know if we
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: want to welcome you back or not Ben the knee
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: kind of that kind of deal.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Right, well, I mean yeah, some of them are already.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Some of them are already back, right, I mean like
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a certain a certain amount of them are already.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Some guys are like they're looking sideways at them. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: my thing is, like, you cash those checks you left
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you basically it was a cash grab, a money grab. Yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and any of those guys have remorse like that, I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: should have just stayed on the tour and slugged it out.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Want some events, Maybe I'd want a major in my
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: career would be different. My bank account might not be
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: as healthy, but would I be happier that it's the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: whole I wonder what they're thinking before they drift off
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to sleep about whether they did the right thing. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: got to wear shorts, and.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I think some of this, some of the numbers those
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: guys are getting. And as long as the checks cash
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: and it's in their bank account, well.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: That's the thing too. Does that mean what happens now
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: if the Saudia, if they pull up stakes, like do
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you get the money that you were old promised? Like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that's only the battle.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: For it a decent amount that money is already in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the bank, right, Like that's what I.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Would think, But I don't know how that was working.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how payments restruction.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I don't really I struggled trying to forecast what people's
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: happiness is, right because like whatever we conceive is what
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you wanted your career to be is never the same. Like, uh,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Dustin Dustin Johnson, his wife Pauline ne Gretzky, her dad
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: played for how many different teams? But everybody says he
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: was happier when he was in Edmonton. Why why do
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you say that because you believe he was because that's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: what you thought made him happy.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Like there's always these thoughts of.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: What we believe is more fulfilling or better for somebody
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: else's career. Like I mean, I don't again, maybe I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: am shallow about it. Like if I had that kind
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of money in my pocket, I really wouldn't care about
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: what folks.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: John's got five hundred million reasons not to worry.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: John Ram also like he can walk in and say, like,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I know that I want enough to I wanted a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: couple of majors here before, and I'll find a way
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: to win one again. Or there's certain guys that you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: like you mentioned with Bernits, that probably played golf for
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: so long, found a great way to cash out some money,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and then now they can enjoy the rest of their lives.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's it and go and play the game
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that they love. Like I he where he was and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: now where he is, and like.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: But but he But to that point, does he care
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: about legacy the way we think maybe some people should.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of golf fans think about that
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: because they love golf.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I've never ever been was always the guy that did
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: love golf.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: So why does he care about his golf legacy?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: He might not.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure he's happy to be successful in it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Maybe he enjoys playing it, but maybe for him it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: as important to be able to say, all right, I
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: have enough money for three more generations than I do.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Then someone's gonna tell me, what did Mike Tyson say?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: There's no such thing as legacy? That poor young girl,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: what about your legacy? There's no legacy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We're all gonna die.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: So I think, Billy, you make a really good point,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: because I think we all come at it with a
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: different worldview. And there are some people that say, well,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: money's on everything. Like I believe that too. But like
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: people say money's on everything, you're already rich, but someone
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: might you know what you You might think they were
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: rich enough, but maybe they have different goals or dreams,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: or maybe they had different finances that you realize.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Again at a certain point, did I waste my most
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: competitive years playing fifty four holes?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: And not?
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Did I?
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: But that might have been the most they ever make
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: playing But I know, but ye something that I wasted
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: it when I made way more money than everybody else did.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: But to your pot, that's the thing.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: People dream of winning Masters, and then that's a chance
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: you had.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So that's the thing I did. I you know, did
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I do the right thing? Is the money a consolation
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: for us? It is no brainer take the cash, but
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you know, when you look back at your.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Career, what regrets to you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: It's an individual question, I think to your point, Billy,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I think that's a question that only every individual can
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: answer for themselves, not somebody else.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I also think, like this is the tough part about it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of hard oh golf guys that
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: wanted miss Smith that will go again to of like, well,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: your goal should have been to win the John Deere
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: or my goal was to play professional golf and I
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: got to do it, and I had to I got
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to work one day less, yes, right, Like I mean, like,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and you mentioned a number of guys that are international,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe their dream wasn't to play TPC Minneapolis, right, Like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: as much as these are all the great courts that
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: we think of, and like the American Tour that the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: PGA Tour is, there are international players on that that
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you know, they probably appreciated and it meant more to them.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: We talked about it with the WBC.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Like I thought it was very unfair night in and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: night out to be asking Salvador Perez or anybody else
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: on Team Venezuela, so would you prefer to do this,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: win this, or win the World Series. Because by the way,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the team that you say about the World Series, they're
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: paying you nine figures, they're paying you an exuberant amount
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: of money. But these are the people that you grew
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: up with in your country, the one that represent that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: you'll represent. Which one means more to you right in
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: this exact moment. It's difficult for us always to show
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and understand how much more impactful it is to play
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: outside of the United States because we're only America.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there are some guys too. We think so
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: much of the best players, but the reality is a
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: lot of the tour or a lot of maybe some
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: of the guys that live were made up of guys
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: that weren't going to make money anywhere else.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Bad players. Here's the analogy, though, if you look at
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: soccer guys that are stars in Europe and they get
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to the tail end, they come to America, cash in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and right into the sunset those guys. But what if
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they had done that, how many of those guys would leave,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you know, real Madrid or Liverpool to come and play
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: for the Columbus Crew and take the money at the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: peak of their careers before they've written their story over
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in Europe and you know, in the Premier League or
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: whatever league they're in, and then they they take the cash.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: It's different those guys, David Beckham at the end of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: your career. Yeah, at the end of your career, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it's great, you get to squeeze out some money. You're
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: still good enough to be elite and against the competition,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's you know, it's conquering another
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: uh Mar, change what they can do for their international team,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: their national team. But this is but guys at the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: peak of their power. You don't see guys leaving the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: real Madrid's or the you know, barl FC Barcelona. They
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: just don't.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Beckham's the only one that I can think of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: when he left in O seven. Uh, but I mean
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I also don't necessarily know that I follow it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Well, he was kind of like the middle of his career, yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: tail end, he was entering the twy light right, so
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it's closer to so me.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: But again, like how many of these guys were closer
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: to the end, Like was Dustin Johnson right.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Like the you know, the Kepkas and the Brysons, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: like some of those guys that bailed were guys that were,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you know, the going because the meat of their career.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but look at Kopka, he was coming
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: off like two or three back surgeries and hadn't won
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: a major in like five or six years.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: To Shamba would be the other one.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: But to Shambo, you could argue has gone over there
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and made more money doing his YouTube thing and all
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of his other stuff that he's more of a fan
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So like I saying, like, we haven't seen this where
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: an upstart poached like the big big in the guys
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in their prime.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: How many people, how many people that left and went
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to the USFL regretted that one to start their career
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: like a Jim Kelly, Did he regret his career starting
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: He regretted starting his career there right out of the gate.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: That's a great question, That's what I was going to
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: think of. But I think they knew the NFL was
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: always back in their back burner they could go to
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: in a couple of years.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And again look at these guys.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: They also knew that the PGA Tour would still be
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: sitting there probably at the end of it saying all right,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: give pay us a small penance, pay us a little
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: bit of a fee, and he can get back in
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: because we need you on the marquet.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: So to that point, maybe the legacy stuff is a
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: little bit overstated. But as you know, and as you
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I think mentioned, Billy, the one sport where these guys
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: are hardos about it is golf about like the legacy
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: in this much and what you did to disrespect us.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, people are weird in golf, you know. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: always thought, oh, sure, so that's the one sport they
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: will go.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And play one of the tournaments at a golf course
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: because the other tournament already played there.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, it just started.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Listen this golf guys, they enforce these weird rules all
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: the time. When it doesn't it so they call in
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: watching their on their couches to call into the tournament
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: to enforce the rule.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: They saw on TV. It's an odd thing.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Yep. Time for Who's Hot?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Who's Not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson, Heating Cooling,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: HVAC leaders in the area, employee owned for forty years. Billy,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: who do you got for who's hot?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I got a decent one. Let's start with who's not hot? Well,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: just within the last couple of minutes. Kevin Durant announced
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: by Sham Sharani reporting he will miss Game six as
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: well after his team staves off elimination last night in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: la and it was the first time a Lebron James
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: led team has not closed out a close out game
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: at home in eighteen years opportunities to close out a
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: series at home. The last time Lebron lost a home
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: playoff game to clinch a series was in two thousand
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and eight.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: The fact that that streak is that that long is
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: actually incredible.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I believe it was fourteen or seventeen consecutive opportunities They
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: had to close it out. Two thousand and six twice
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and then two thousand and six two on eight were
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the only other times that they had not done it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Last night, Lebron a big part of it because he
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: was oh of six from downtown and finished nine of
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five points. Wasn't awful, but wasn't great, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: their team was not good all night outside of DeAndre
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: eighton eighteen point seventeen boards.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: That'll be in the hot category.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Who's also in the hot category Kate Cunningham in Polo Bencaro.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They matched for a pair of forty five point performances
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: in the first of the three NBA playoff games last night,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Kate Cunningham's team gets up off the mat they force
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a game six in Orlando on Friday night. Evan Mobley
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: knocked down three triples his three of his only five
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: triples in their five game series that they've had against
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: the Raptors to win all in the second half a
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: part of their victory. And how about this one from
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: the World of Hockey, Drew, I might be mispronouncing my
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: man's name, Dan Vlotter. Lotter the goaltender last night for
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: just a ridiculous, ridiculous output as I mean they say
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: standing on your head when you pitch a shutout in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: a close out game in the NHL, and for the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia Flyers to roll through and be victorious forty two
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: saves against forty two shots last night for Lotder, that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: was a hell of a performance in overtime as they
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: shut out the Penguins and kept the Flyers flying on
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to the second round. Or they'll take on the notoriously
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: cheap Carolina Hurricanes. Impressive, impressive, and even the Carolina Hurricanes
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: as much as over the Portland Trailblazers. As much as
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: they like saving money, you know where they would go
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: for their hvack issues, Donovan Jorgensen.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: They would go to the HVAC.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Experts because they know they're going to save some money
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna be done right. Final one in here
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: would be for the not category guys, brandon Ingram. Dude,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I almost feel bad for the young man because he
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: is having the worst series in All Star possibly could
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: have last night, damn near Tony sells that line on
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: an eleven minutes.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Smell Season one, brandon Ingram's been a topic of conversation
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: in eleven minutes.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: That's a tough day at the office.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Who's not the producers that get up because the graphics says,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: is Cowboys offseason setting team up for success?
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Oh?

  Speaker 1: Drew billion Arman bringing it to you on the Huddle,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Happy to be joined by our
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: pal Hunter Bombguard. Time for his Brewers Report, brought to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: us by Import Minded South twenty seventh Street. Hunter, Good morning, thanks.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: For hanging out, Yeah, thank you guys. Good morning. How
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: is everybody over there well.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Doing better than the Brewers bullpen on the health front here?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Hunter?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Like the the on hell Zerpa News yesterday, I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: know that it came to any massive surprise if you've
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: watched how he's performed as of late. Maybe you had
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: an eye up that there would be something. But the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: amount of leverage arms that you continually lose and then
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: lose a game last night a tough one to compound
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: Bullpen, it really is. Yeah, he on el Serpa had
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: given up six a run in six of his last
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: eight outings. So obviously there was the results weren't where
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: he wanted him to be, where they were in the WBC,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: where they were to begin the season. So obviously that
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: makes you think a little bit. However, Pat Murphy said
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: yesterday this wasn't something that was lingering. He said, it's
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: something that actually popped up in his last downing against
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: the Pirates where he was pitching in that tenth inning
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: and unfortunately, I think that was the Saturday night game. Yeah,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: and he was pitching in the tenth inning and William
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Contraras kind of looked over to the dugouts like, something
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: doesn't look right here. The velocity wasn't way down, but
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: it was down a tick or two, and then he
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: gave up. He had to walk. He paced four batters,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: they got him out of their grant Anderson comes in
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: and you know, after that, they looked at him and
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: left forearm tightness is the official diagnosed says of now,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: but they're doing additional testing and from the sounds of
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: it, it does not sound I mean, Pat Murphy said, you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: his quote was, it doesn't you know, I don't think
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: he'll be back anytime soon. And this could be something
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: serious and it's highly concerning. And whenever you hear fourarm tightness,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: that is always something that kind of makes you not
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: love to hear that when it comes to a pitcher.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: So we'll see what the diagnosis is and how long
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: he is indeed out. But as much as his results
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: weren't necessarily getting it done, the overall, you know what
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: they invested to get him right, giving up Isaac Collins
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: and Nick Mears, and this is the guy who they
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: expected to be a big part of that bullpen. They're,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: you know, one of their lefty leverage relievers throughout the season.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: And so, as Pat Murphy called it yesterday, it's a
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: big blow to the bullpen.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hunter, they're going to play the blame game in
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the world Baseball class. We talked about it a little
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: bit earlier, but he also Zurp was coming off a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: season when he threw a season a career high sixty
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: seven games that you know, miles on the tires. Maybe
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic was the last straw, but the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: die has been cast. And we were talking earlier about
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: another forgotten man, Jared Kang, who pitched every day for
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the Burwers last year, well not every day, but like
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: seventy two games.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Totally. I mean that's and he of course is on
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: the IL as well, so you wonder if those two
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: are kind of paying for what they did last year.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: And obviously, yeah, people are gonna blame oh, you know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: he pitched the WBC, and Pat Murphy was asked that
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: yesterday and he's like, you can't blame it on the
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: the WBC. He's like, I understand why people would allude
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: to it. But there's also other pitchers like a Jared
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: kaneg who is on the IL, who didn't pitch the WBC.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: So it's you know, it is tough when you have
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: a couple of your WBC guys hurt in the first
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: month of the season, and in Curio and Serapa, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: mean when when you kind of look at the evidence
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: there and you say, okay, maybe there is something to that,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: and I know they've talked about moving into the middle
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: of the season WBC or whatnot. But either way it
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: it may be a factor. It may not be Like
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: you said, the sixty seven games last year may be
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: a factor. Either way, it is tough news for the bullpen.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: It's it's another lefty that is out, as you mentioned,
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: and now you have a couple of rookie lefties that
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: are two of your four lefties in the bullten, and
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: that is you know, Brian Fitzpatrick now who came up
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: last night, and Shane Drowan. So you're relying on some
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: very young pitchers out there. I mean, Drowan has been
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: around a while, but he's not had the major league
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: experience obviously that some other guys have. And then obviously
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: Fitzpatrick made his debut last night. So here are we
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: relying on some young lefties in that bullpen to carry you.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Hunter Bomgart joining us his appearance the broad toesst by
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: import minded your trust a choice for exceptional vehicle care
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: on South twenty seventh Street just north of eight ninety four.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And Hunter's also giving us the injury report brought to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: us by Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin Orthowisconsin dot com, Orthopedic
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Associates Wisconsin. There is a difference. We'll get to Turio
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and Vaughan and there and Priest in that update momentarily,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: but I want to spin back to Brian Fitzpatrick because
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that's one of the things where you know, as a reporter,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you get you get calloused, you get hardened, you get
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you know, jaded, and you don't care if they win
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: or lose. You just want good quotes and to go
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: about your night. But the Brian Fitzpatrick thing, it looks
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: like you guys had a good time talking to him,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and he was seems like a good dude, and it
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: was a good story that he got thrown in the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: fire and pitched well. But it would have been better
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: if they had won the game. It would have been
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a better circumstance for him to talk about and to
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: be happy with his debut. He probably had to tamp
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it down a little bit, but he got to talk
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to his family afterwards and he had a successful MLB debut.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And with all that, Hunter, it's just my way of asking,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: is he taller than miss? Is he the freakishly tall guy?
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Is he taller than Gasper?
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, come on, wow, yeah, he's right, He's probably
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: yeah to ee with Gasper, I think he's yeah, he's
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: probably a little taller than Miz. He is very tall,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: and he just kind of adds to that, you know,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: tall Bolton out there, and just the pitchers that they have.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, i'm to rebase tall, but Trevor McGill, obviously
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Jacob Nzarowski. So they've got some tall pitchers and he
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: fits in that way. Yeah, And so I'm interested to
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: see how he does at the major league levels. He
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: did not give up an earned run in ten appearances
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: in Nashville before coming up a tenth round pick of
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty two out of Rutgers. Really shot up the
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: system last year where he played at three different levels,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: went from you know, Wisconsin, DEBILUXI to Nashville all in
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: one year last year. And this is a guy who
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: then you know, even he was in Milwaukee for the
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: top exhibition game, so we got some experience at American
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Family Field there and then of course gets the call
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: here and goes one on the third scoreless last night,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: and welcome to the big leagues. Here you get to
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: face Corbyn, Carrol welcome, you know, so it's like and
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: you know, and then he faced Arnado in the eighth
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: inning and he faced the middle of that Dinondback's order
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: and to not allow any runs. Obviously, Pat Murphy was
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: impressed by that. So yeah, he was great though, really
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: really nice. You know. It kind of wanted us to
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: introduce ourselves to him before we talked to him pregame,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: and just he really seems like a fun guy to
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: talk to and someone you could you know, have a
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: good conversation with and really learned from, you know, where
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: his mind is at when it comes to baseball. So
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to that. Otherwise, really, we were talking
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: in the press box after the game, like there was
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: hardly anything to really write home about in last night,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Like there wasn't great pitching on either side. There wasn't
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: great clutch offense on either side. The Arizona and Imax
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: at two innings where they hit two home runs and
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: really that was it. You know. Early in the game.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: It was good to see Bauers and terrag hit off
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: a lefty and Rodriguez, but otherwise, really there just wasn't much.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: So it's nice to have a little bit of a
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: storyline there, and Brian Fitzpatrick.

  Speaker 1: the Day is Jet Williams, who lifted the National Sounds

  Speaker 1: to victory with a walkoff homework.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Oh now we're talking. Let's go Jet.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: He's priming the pump for Turio and Vaughan to start
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: getting some abs for some.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Ups right, Yeah and yeah, I'll tell you. And Cooper
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Pratt is starting to heat up down there as well,
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: which is something to watch. I think. Finally we're kind
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: of seeing him turn the corner a little bit. He
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: had a nice night last night as well. Yeah, man,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Churio Von both of them playing five innings last night,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: and we'll get the full report today, but sounds like
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: all it well, looked like all went well. Cheerio is
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: running the bases like usual, and a couple of walks
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: for Churio, and so yeah, it looked like a very
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: successful first rehab outing for both of those guys, going
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: the full five innings, Cheerio and the outfield, Vaughn at
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: first base. And then hopefully they recover well and we
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: could see him as early as Monday.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the fifty million dollar man there hunter. Is
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: there a world that you can foresee him being up
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: here in the big league sooner rather than later, or
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like before or after the All Star break somewhere this year?
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think for sure I could see it at
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: some point this year. Is it a guarantee he'll be
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: up here this year? Not necessarily. I have thinks some
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: of it is how he does it in Nashville. But
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: the weird thing that the interesting thing that Pat Murphy
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: said at some point in this homestand all of the
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: press conferences kind of run together, but at some point
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: in this homestand he was saying how he he doesn't all. Well,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: he actually he was talking about Luis Lara, and obviously
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: Lara has been great offensively, defensively and everything like that,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: and he was saying, you know, one of the reasons
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: there may be the reason they have not brought Lara
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: up is because Chario is going to come back, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: because yea, it is going to come back. And obviously
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Lara's tearing the cover off the ball in Nashville. But
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: you don't want him to come up here and be
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: a utility guy. You want him to come up here
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: and get at bats and have an opportunity and really,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: you know, be able to take a position by Holden.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: So that's one of the reasons they haven't brought him up.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: I wonder about that with Cooper Pratt. They obviously paid
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: the extension, so I wonder if if they decided to
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: do a Cooper Pratt call up at some point, I
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: would think that they're thinking they're going to play him
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: almost every day, and so you know, how long is
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: that leash on Joey Ortiz. Obviously, I kind of before
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: the season, I said the day I still think that
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: probably is the case. I know they love the defense,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: but obviously the offense hasn't been where you wanted the
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: last year plus, and so at what point do they
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: decide to do that? Is it a third base option?
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: If rand Hefo struggles and it continues to not be
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: as good as maybe you want him to be, so
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: all that will factor into it. I would say definitely,
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: I would be shocked if he's up here any earlier
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: than Memorial Day. I would still be surprised if he's
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: up here. Yeah, I don't know if I'd be totally
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: surprised if he's up here, say June or early July,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: but I would say the most likely is maybe after
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: the All Star break, somewhere in maybe the second half
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: of the season. But again, it depends on what happens
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: at the major league level, because once you pay that
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: guy that money, you probably have more of an impetus
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: to bring that guy up.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: The flip side of that coin is that I know
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of Burgs fans think Joey Ortiz is the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: worst thing that happened to a baseball team since the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: strain flex are tendon.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: It's a tough one.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Joey Ortiz makes like ten thousand more than
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: this MLB minimum. Yeah, he makes like seven hundred and
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: ninety grand.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: He's a cheap He's so like it too.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: If he was, if he was making a big cash,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: if he was making five to seven million, he'd really
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: be getting buried. But I in my mind it's like, well,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you know, get what you pay for. You got a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: short stuff. He's making minimum salary. Oh sure, he's not
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: like a rising you know, Cooper Pratt type prospect. I mean,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I look at it that through that prison. It's like, yeah,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: he's okay, he's playing. He still plays elite defense. Rush
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: saves you more onuns, and there's a value in that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: in terms of his war Arman's favorite stat. But there's
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: value in the defense that he plays, and so the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: offense is a bonus. It's the way short stuffs used
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to be back in the olden times. But if the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: money's already spent, then isn't it already spent? Like at
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that point, I don't care that I'm saving the money.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I might as well go get somebody.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: That's that's the thing though. It's like, but I think
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: people should temper their anger at and Joey Ortiz just
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: in the idea that he's barely making a rookie salary.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: He's making a minimum.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Almost oh sure, yeah, no, just more of a disappointment
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: on the Corbyn Burns trade if anything, right, I mean, like.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: That would be that would be, that would.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Be Also there's also it's a sliding scale any offense
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: as a bonus. But you also don't want him under
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: five hundred oh ps. I mean that's a problem. I mean,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: so yes, I would agree with that, that he's making
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: less money. But to your point, Billy, the cost is
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: sunk and Cooper Pratt, well that's already there. Yeah, but
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Cooper Prat's not going anywhere, so let him cook. And
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: do you want to start that arbitration the clock ticking
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: and stuff. That's the other thing.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Well, but right, doesn't that not count now though now
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that the deals signed? Right like now now he's signed,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: so now it wouldn't matter now it would be now
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: at that point it's like you've got some cost certainty,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I guess, so at that point it's at some particular
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: point in time. I would just wonder when that would be.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I get it, and I'm with you, like let's see.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And I think more than anything, the brain Trust would
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: like the Ortiz wanted to work out because then it
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: wouldn't look so bad.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It's the thing though, it's still and the idea that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: he's gonna Cooper Pratt's going at whatever success he's having
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: at Nashville, you're gonna come to the big Lea's and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you're gonna struggle for a little bit as Joey Ortiz
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: pace in point. So they won ninety seven games with
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Joey Ortis playing no shortstop predominantly.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Sure, but could you get better? Way I get did
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: you get better?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is it worth the roll of the dice? That's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the question.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Hard to get worse though, Like I think that would
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: be that would be the one for.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: That scenario would be Joey Ortiz, like right around Memorial Day,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: like Hunter Saon pulls a hamstring and goes on the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: aisle for two weeks and has a rehab stint in Nashville,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and then Cooper Pratt comes up and plays shorts. I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: don't see what he can do. And that way, it's like, well,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Joey Ortis is coming back. You're just here till he
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: gets back, and it gives him that kind of safety net. Damn, Joey,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: you you really pulled up on that run over to
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: first base. Didn't you may that hand he looks really.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: That handy looks real tight, Joey, why don't you come
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: out over here for further evaluation?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Love it, love it?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Hunt or anything else we need to know going into
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: today other than the fact that you got a Baseball
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Tonight show following the game gonna be awesome.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly six to seven. This evening, we'll recap the
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: series finale, look ahead to the weekend for the vers
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: in Washington. Washington came to Milwaukee and swept him a
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, so let's turn that around this weekend,
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: maybe in DC, but yeah, get a series win here
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: against the Diamond bound. Let's say, if you don't win today,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: you're going to two and four homestand and you don't
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: love under five hundred homestand so what he's on the
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: mound though, that is the good news, and hopefully the
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: offense can bounce back a little from last night. Have
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: some more of your big guns in there and something.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: One more thing is, you know people have been talking
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: about the obviously the Greg Jones, Blake Perkins, Brandon Lockridge
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: outfield last night and they are facing the left tied
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: and why don't you have Mitchell and Freelick in there?
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: And obviously the Pam Murphy put the lefties in there
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: when they went to their bullpen when the Diamondbacks did.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: But something else that Pam Murphy mentioned yesterday, specifically about
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Garrett Mitchell, saying, you know, considering his health, hitch history
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: and considering I mean just honestly, he's a Type one
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: diabetic and they have to be careful a little bit
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: with him, and so they want to make sure they're
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: getting him off days when they can. Now he's played
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: the majority of the games. He's basically an everyday guy now,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: which I was hoping for and now we're getting to
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: see that. But there are going to be days where
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: he's not going to be in the lineup. Still, when
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: do you want that against the lefty? And he only
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: didn't play five innings, So I think it's it's something
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: to think about where I know, we want, you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: these guys every single day, but it's also April, they
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: also have other factors that they're weighing a little bit
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: when they don't start guys, and it just still happens
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: that the other guys just aren't producing right now. So
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: it makes it even worse. But when there are other
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: guys come back, it's going to make it look better.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: But something to keep in mind when you look at
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: that lineup each and every day. But I would expect
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: those guys back in there today.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Hunter, great job as always, Thanks for hanging out with us, Bud,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: have a good time at the ballpark. We'll be listening
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: at six o'clock tonight for Milwaukee's Baseball Tonight.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: See you, Hunter, You bet things guys all right?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Is the man's er bomb guard not joining us on video?
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Sadly sorry about the streamers. You got to keep looking
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: at us and not see the I got to feel
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: youthful exuberance of Hunter Bong.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I got a feeling though, when Hunter he joins us
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: on videos, it's gonna be a pretty sweet one. I
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: think I think he's got something cooking. That's uh. I mean,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Mike rob Felt's cooking with Wes. It's it's gonna be
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: a leap.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: There you go.
