2:05
Speaker 7: after it in a proper fashion.
2:07
Speaker 1: What do you say?
2:07
Speaker 8: I love it, and Drew, we don't have to worry
2:09
Speaker 8: about the nerds, I mean, scientists telling us when summer
2:13
Speaker 8: actually hits today.
2:14
Speaker 1: Today's what it officially will start, right.
2:16
Speaker 6: Is certified AMS meteorologists, Yes, right, come on n e rds.
2:24
Speaker 6: But in the midst of it, we appreciate everything that
2:27
Speaker 6: they do and they help us out a lot. They
2:30
Speaker 6: were giving us some updates last night with a little
2:32
Speaker 6: bit of severe weather around the state.
2:34
Speaker 1: But let's clear all that out. Let's have the first
2:36
Speaker 1: of three phenomenal weekends. Let's go. Let's make this happen.
2:40
Speaker 7: Brewers off to a phenomenal start this season, best in
2:43
Speaker 7: franchise history nineteen games over five hundred, with a win
2:47
Speaker 7: last night over the Cleveland Guardians that featured Cooper Pratt's
2:51
Speaker 7: first big league hit, A nice bounce back again by
2:54
Speaker 7: Chad Patrick. Seemingly we always say Chad Patrick.
2:57
Speaker 8: Bouncing back, hounces back with some and even Murpha on
3:01
Speaker 8: Monday night or on Tuesday night threw him in there
3:03
Speaker 8: and then said, you know, we gotta get everybody coming
3:05
Speaker 8: back off that altitude. Chad Patrick hasn't yet. He will
3:08
Speaker 8: bow he will, and he did last night in the
3:11
Speaker 8: time that you needed him, because man Brandon sprote that
3:14
Speaker 8: fourth inning problem popped up and he was beautiful. The
3:18
Speaker 8: first time through the order. Drew second time obviously not
3:21
Speaker 8: so much. And you hang him, They're gonna bang him
3:24
Speaker 8: at this level, right, That's just that's the story of it.
3:26
Speaker 8: And when you throw a curveball and hang it like
3:28
Speaker 8: he did, that thing's gonna get put into the bullpen. Sadly,
3:30
Speaker 8: there were three guys in front of him and and
3:32
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, it's a different game. But Patrick
3:35
Speaker 8: came in and steadied the tide. Hopefully it's nothing more
3:38
Speaker 8: than the little bits of cramps that they said last
3:40
Speaker 8: night for spro because even though you definitely want to
3:45
Speaker 8: find somebody that doesn't give up four straight base runners
3:48
Speaker 8: and one of them pop a granny on you, you
3:51
Speaker 8: definitely also don't want to find any more injuries because
3:53
Speaker 8: that might be the last thing you can have in
3:55
Speaker 8: this pitching.
3:56
Speaker 7: That is, I wonder what the limits are. But then
3:58
Speaker 7: I think they're playing well Ashville too, And yeah, well.
4:03
Speaker 8: I'm gonna bet the I'm gonna bet the come on
4:05
Speaker 8: the Brewers being able to find more. But yeah, I'm
4:08
Speaker 8: with you on that, And at this moment, with every
4:12
Speaker 8: single person that I listened to in the in the
4:15
Speaker 8: national sphere talking about the Brewers and trying to clump
4:17
Speaker 8: them into whatever sweepstakes happens in the in the postseason
4:21
Speaker 8: or around the trade deadline. I think they're gonna bet
4:24
Speaker 8: on their own cats, and I think they're gonna bet
4:25
Speaker 8: on their development process that they're gonna find a couple
4:27
Speaker 8: of more, whether it's a hardened cat that's I know,
4:30
Speaker 8: the minor League Pittuer of the Year working his way
4:32
Speaker 8: from Nashville. Maybe that'll be, or maybe Coleman Crow or
4:35
Speaker 8: whoever it ends up being. Keep them coming, keep those
4:37
Speaker 8: keep that machine rolling.
4:39
Speaker 6: I mean, we're just kind of spitting out cyborg pictures now,
4:42
Speaker 6: it feels like in the minor leagues.
4:43
Speaker 1: So keep that machine rolling. Sproute.
4:46
Speaker 6: You know what they help with the hammy was the
4:48
Speaker 6: issue the cramp with that fourth inning that that's kind
4:51
Speaker 6: of the way I think of it, Like, Okay, he
4:53
Speaker 6: gave up the granny and it's like he was starting
4:55
Speaker 6: to struggle. Well then the injury or the cramp thing
4:57
Speaker 6: pops up. I'm like, well, maybe that was the reason
4:59
Speaker 6: he wasn't as effective. So that's one way to look
5:01
Speaker 6: at it. If you're trying to look at the bright side.
5:03
Speaker 6: That's leads how I look at it, because he was
5:05
Speaker 6: really running it up there that first few times through. Yeah,
5:07
Speaker 6: he was.
5:08
Speaker 1: He was really pumping at ninety eight, ninety nine, one hundred.
5:10
Speaker 6: He was surprising to be a a bit who I
5:13
Speaker 6: feel like I hadn't seen him pitch in a bit
5:14
Speaker 6: maybe or was like, wow, Brandon's broke and then right
5:17
Speaker 6: the fourth inning problem cropped up. But uh, we'll wait
5:19
Speaker 6: and see on on what the injury is or if
5:21
Speaker 6: it's just cramps and if it'll just stay that way.
5:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get an update, I'm sure.
5:25
Speaker 4: Uh.
5:26
Speaker 7: Nicolay Lottak, I'm talking text on open for the five
5:28
Speaker 7: o'clock Clubbers exclusively right now at eight seven seven seven
5:32
Speaker 7: nine four one ninety seven three. JT formerly of Sussex
5:35
Speaker 7: said hard not to be in Milwaukee today with Summerfest starting,
5:39
Speaker 7: but I did wear my Summerfest socks here in Knoxville, Tennessee.
5:42
Speaker 1: And I'm going to see the Miz in Atlanta tomorrow,
5:44
Speaker 1: so that helps that that'll work its way.
5:47
Speaker 7: Work at work, some cheese head, you'll get some cheese
5:50
Speaker 7: head vibes and you'll get some some juice.
5:52
Speaker 1: And speaking of the Miz, he'll be appearing on our
5:55
Speaker 1: program today.
5:56
Speaker 8: Yeah, I can't wait Hunter Bombguard being able to tap
5:59
Speaker 8: in and have a commonversation with h with with with
6:01
Speaker 8: Jacob Mazowski in between starts get himself ready to uh
6:05
Speaker 8: to depart and dominate. I uh, I'm excited because we
6:08
Speaker 8: get you get little bits and pieces of these guys
6:11
Speaker 8: after games.
6:11
Speaker 1: We got some fun stuff from Cooper Pratt last night.
6:13
Speaker 1: That was good stuff.
6:14
Speaker 8: Sounds like a little bit different from the left side
6:16
Speaker 8: of the infield to the right side of a little different.
6:20
Speaker 7: Guys like Terrang was practically doing a stand up routine
6:23
Speaker 7: about the Cooper Pratt running out of the field by
6:25
Speaker 7: himself there he was enjoying, was opening up a little
6:29
Speaker 7: bit and maybe he's getting a little more comfortable with
6:31
Speaker 7: his you know, you know, his role as a star
6:34
Speaker 7: player on the team right a little bit of the league.
6:36
Speaker 7: I mean, some guys are some guys are not good interviews. Famously,
6:40
Speaker 7: Robin when he played was a terrible interview. Was Bryce
6:43
Speaker 7: Terrang here to play baseball?
6:47
Speaker 1: I'm not really And then that's a good one maybe yea.
6:52
Speaker 7: So I remember go back to Ryan Braun coming in,
6:55
Speaker 7: it was like this guy's and when he did his
6:57
Speaker 7: introductory pressor when he signed it's like, can we have
6:59
Speaker 7: him to He's better than anybody who've.
7:01
Speaker 6: Got a better interview. He's the best interview. You got
7:04
Speaker 6: to bring him up now we need him well in
7:06
Speaker 6: the development one.
7:06
Speaker 8: I never thought that I would say, can we get
7:09
Speaker 8: more Christian Yelich in the in the TV booth and
7:12
Speaker 8: then two years ago when he was out with the Back,
7:14
Speaker 8: I mean, he was phenomenal and he came here as
7:16
Speaker 8: one of the more reserved guys that I think ever
7:18
Speaker 8: covered in Solifornia.
7:20
Speaker 6: Chill, but he but down hanging out, laid back. About
7:22
Speaker 6: Yellis is that people. I mean, he's just so natural
7:25
Speaker 6: and he's so laid back.
7:26
Speaker 7: He doesn't yell at empires, he doesn't get you know,
7:28
Speaker 7: doesn't get real demonstrative and frustrated.
7:30
Speaker 6: But he's a grinder. But he also is authenticity to
7:34
Speaker 6: him that you know he's just being himself.
7:36
Speaker 7: Well yeah, but he also I mean, like a lot
7:39
Speaker 7: of these guys, like again, I've I've dealt with some
7:41
Speaker 7: guys that they played baseball and made a lot of
7:44
Speaker 7: money playing baseball, but they didn't really like it. Yellis
7:47
Speaker 7: lives it, man, Yelli's braves it like you you want
7:49
Speaker 7: to see Yelli's light up, start talking about other players
7:52
Speaker 7: from other teams or stuff in the game or you know,
7:55
Speaker 7: other moments and he little get.
7:57
Speaker 1: Expensive and he'll talk about it. He's been super interesting
7:59
Speaker 1: on some podcast as in the past that he's been
8:01
Speaker 1: not great talking about himself.
8:03
Speaker 7: I want to bring a lot of attention to himself
8:05
Speaker 7: and all that, and it's like, oh, you know, and
8:07
Speaker 7: he also has a really good perspective about how hot
8:09
Speaker 7: he was in eighteen nineteen, like a riding the wave
8:11
Speaker 7: and yeah, what that was like. And he's just an
8:13
Speaker 7: interesting cat. But so Terang's got potential is what I'm saying.
8:17
Speaker 1: For sure he does.
8:18
Speaker 7: Rang will probably you know, he might surpass at some
8:20
Speaker 7: point Robin youts. But again, like you don't pay him
8:23
Speaker 7: to be media stars. Some guys are born to it.
8:25
Speaker 7: Some guys are glibs, some guys are reserved well. And
8:28
Speaker 7: like we joked about with Dolph yesterday on concerts. You
8:30
Speaker 7: know some some concerts you want to go there, you
8:32
Speaker 7: want to see a shows, you want an evening with
8:34
Speaker 7: Garth Brooks. I'm down with my man telling some jokes
8:36
Speaker 7: in between having conversations other guys. They said, dude, I'm
8:40
Speaker 7: here to rip for two hours and that's what you're
8:42
Speaker 7: gonna get, and you're gonna get all that whole blend
8:44
Speaker 7: for the next couple of weeks. I happened to like
8:46
Speaker 7: it when bands are you know, they'll stop, tell you
8:48
Speaker 7: a story about the other times they've played in this market,
8:51
Speaker 7: my favorite kind, and then they'll yeah, it's like, I
8:53
Speaker 7: want every night to be unique. I want every night
8:56
Speaker 7: to be like a special experience, not just we're gonna
8:59
Speaker 7: rip this list. I say the same things between songs
9:02
Speaker 7: and let's let's you know, it's to the minute. Our
9:04
Speaker 7: show is two hours and seven minutes long, and you know.
9:07
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, we're hitting the devil. Just let it breathe
9:09
Speaker 1: and like, let every night come, you know, ride the
9:11
Speaker 1: river like we're.
9:12
Speaker 8: Doing the show, and said, enjoy every sandwich, enjoy every show,
9:15
Speaker 8: And then there's gonna be a lot of different ones too.
9:17
Speaker 1: But I'm with you.
9:18
Speaker 8: I want a little personality. I want a little perspective.
9:20
Speaker 8: I on a little excitement. Pratt gave us some of that.
9:22
Speaker 8: It feels like some more brewers are are doing that.
9:25
Speaker 8: But also when the manager gives you as much as
9:26
Speaker 8: Murph does, I mean that that'll balance it out. For
9:29
Speaker 8: if you have a couple of folks that don't love
9:31
Speaker 8: the SoundBite. Pratt looks like he could be the short
9:33
Speaker 8: stuff for the next seven eight years.
9:35
Speaker 1: No problem.
9:36
Speaker 7: That's the one and the third basement of the future.
9:38
Speaker 7: Every he talks about, I got to hit a power
9:40
Speaker 7: hitting third basement. Well, he hit a home run in
9:42
Speaker 7: his first game at double A last night.
9:43
Speaker 1: He's on the way. It's gonna be sooner than later.
9:47
Speaker 7: You're going Pratt and Fisher on the left side and
9:49
Speaker 7: potentially my day on at second or who knows.
9:52
Speaker 1: But they got options, they got plans and options.
9:55
Speaker 6: And I'll say it again, I get excited as much
9:57
Speaker 6: as anyone about the future of the young players.
9:58
Speaker 1: But the future is now. I mean this team was rolling. Yeah,
10:01
Speaker 1: this is rolling. What a wagon right now? They're winning
10:03
Speaker 1: so many games. Yeah, it's just like you have.
10:05
Speaker 7: To say, like, are the Brewers or World Series contender
10:08
Speaker 7: in this very moment right now?
10:09
Speaker 1: Yeah?
10:10
Speaker 4: You got it?
10:10
Speaker 1: They are? Yea, Yeah, I think.
10:11
Speaker 7: There's And again, I mean, all these years of bad
10:14
Speaker 7: luck have given people PTSD and they put up their
10:17
Speaker 7: protective you know, walls, and I get it, but you
10:21
Speaker 7: watch what what more do you need to see?
10:24
Speaker 1: That this team is that good, like and yeah, okay, things.
10:27
Speaker 7: Are gonna happen, but yeah, they're gonna add some track guys,
10:29
Speaker 7: and you're gonna get guys go down with you know,
10:31
Speaker 7: hamstring cramps or whatever. But as constructed in the current environment, yes,
10:36
Speaker 7: the Brewers are good enough to make a deep playoff runt.
10:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, And and the other thing is not unfairly it
10:44
Speaker 8: gets painted tough. It's not a full representation of how
10:48
Speaker 8: close those two teams were last year with the final
10:51
Speaker 8: four games that you played, because of the final two
10:54
Speaker 8: games in LA could feel a little varsity Jves. The
10:59
Speaker 8: first two you got shut down by two of the
11:01
Speaker 8: hotter starting pitchers around, one of which ended up winning
11:04
Speaker 8: the World Series MVP and Yamamoto, who was untouchable and
11:08
Speaker 8: otherworldly in that run. So like, I still think you
11:11
Speaker 8: talk about the PTSD, some of it is lining straight
11:14
Speaker 8: up from whatever that is seven months ago or eight
11:16
Speaker 8: months ago in October. But you can't carry stuff over
11:21
Speaker 8: from years to year. This team has not brought all
11:25
Speaker 8: of the magic that they had a year ago. They
11:26
Speaker 8: subtracted a decent number of the pieces, but they're finding
11:30
Speaker 8: different ways to win in a different recipe. So the
11:32
Speaker 8: Dodgers are gonna have to find a way to beat
11:34
Speaker 8: this version because last year's version only unleashed Miserowski at
11:39
Speaker 8: three inning spurts at a time. That one will be
11:41
Speaker 8: a little bit different, and that will be a little
11:43
Speaker 8: different come October hopefully this year.
11:45
Speaker 6: Absolutely it's a different team, a different look at it,
11:48
Speaker 6: and a different approach because of that guy specifically. But
11:51
Speaker 6: I think the reality is too you can be a
11:53
Speaker 6: great contender and have a fifteen percent chance to win
11:55
Speaker 6: the World Series. That's what the playoffs is. You have
11:57
Speaker 6: to approach it.
11:58
Speaker 1: The right way.
11:58
Speaker 6: You have to approach it with the balanced view of it, saying, look,
12:02
Speaker 6: it's still hard to beat the whole field, and we're
12:03
Speaker 6: gonna give it our best shot. But it's nice to know,
12:06
Speaker 6: and this is what I was thinking about last night, guys,
12:08
Speaker 6: like it's nice to know that it doesn't feel like
12:11
Speaker 6: the Brewers have one shot for the next twenty years,
12:13
Speaker 6: like the Brewers have been able to in the last
12:14
Speaker 6: eight to ten years roll through and continue the train
12:17
Speaker 6: and give themselves a lot of shots. And I know
12:19
Speaker 6: it's sort of like the bite of the apple, which
12:21
Speaker 6: some people don't take the right way, but like in
12:23
Speaker 6: twenty eleven, I remember thinking, all right, this is gonna
12:26
Speaker 6: be our one shot, This might be our only shot.
12:27
Speaker 1: We have to try and go for it.
12:29
Speaker 6: Now, we're gonna try and win because we're kind of
12:31
Speaker 6: pushing all the chips in for this moment. It's great
12:33
Speaker 6: to know, at least for me as a Brewers fan,
12:35
Speaker 6: that you don't have to put that pressure on yourself
12:37
Speaker 6: as a fan and know, oh, this is our only shot.
12:39
Speaker 6: I mean, you build for a long term run, and
12:42
Speaker 6: that's what the Brewers have been able to do, whether
12:43
Speaker 6: or not they've broken through yet to get to the
12:45
Speaker 6: World Series and win it, which they haven't. We know
12:47
Speaker 6: that that's the goal, but you know that it's not
12:50
Speaker 6: gonna be this is gonna be my only summer. I'm
12:52
Speaker 6: gonna be able to see this maybe until the next ten.
12:54
Speaker 6: You know that part of it is good, at least
12:56
Speaker 6: for me, because in twenty eleven it kind of had
12:58
Speaker 6: that feeling like, Okay, we're gonna now as a small market,
13:01
Speaker 6: you get one shot this thing for a long time. No,
13:03
Speaker 6: the Brewers have been able to break a little bit
13:05
Speaker 6: of a code to keep a consistent train roll in
13:08
Speaker 6: which I like.
13:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't anticipate a drop off.
13:11
Speaker 6: In fact, now it's it's strengthening the case that they
13:15
Speaker 6: can make a bold move and go get.
13:17
Speaker 1: A rental asbundance of their farm system.
13:20
Speaker 7: It strengthens the case that, you know, if they were
13:24
Speaker 7: to go get Schooble or somebody like that and give
13:27
Speaker 7: up prospects that you wouldn't want to normally, they have
13:31
Speaker 7: so many prospects that they can probably peel a couple off,
13:35
Speaker 7: you know, because at some point not everyone can play
13:37
Speaker 7: for you exactly right, I mean, and they're all going
13:39
Speaker 7: to be on the on the same kind of schedule.
13:42
Speaker 7: And when you have at least identified the couple that
13:44
Speaker 7: you believe are going to be the fundamental ones. They
13:47
Speaker 7: just did with two of them this year with Laura
13:49
Speaker 7: and Pratt because you paid them. Made and Fisher are
13:51
Speaker 7: the two that everybody I think is circling right now
13:54
Speaker 7: that yeah, there's there's some viability for more guys at
13:58
Speaker 7: that double a play level that that could be going.
14:01
Speaker 7: I know Pain is gonna be a tough one because
14:03
Speaker 7: he's as highly regarded as anybody, but he's had the
14:05
Speaker 7: injury problems this year, so he probably goes off the list.
14:08
Speaker 1: But Drew.
14:09
Speaker 8: Some of it comes to and I heard Jeff Passon
14:13
Speaker 8: talking about it with the File File Territory Guys yesterday,
14:16
Speaker 8: really really good show.
14:17
Speaker 1: I love what they do. Love Cratzy on that show.
14:19
Speaker 1: At least somebody's talking to some brewers baseball.
14:24
Speaker 8: But you would start to outline it that the bites
14:28
Speaker 8: at the apple are gonna be there. You're gonna have
14:31
Speaker 8: apples in the cabinet. You're gonna be able to go
14:33
Speaker 8: and take a bite at the apple. At what point
14:35
Speaker 8: do you slice it up and you make it a
14:37
Speaker 8: pie and you really go through and the way that
14:40
Speaker 8: they talked about it, some of the value could be
14:43
Speaker 8: more with position players, which are tougher to be able
14:46
Speaker 8: to start full bidding wars. Everybody's focused on Schooble because
14:50
Speaker 8: who doesn't want the most one of the best pitchers
14:52
Speaker 8: in baseball?
14:53
Speaker 1: Oh, for sure, everybody does.
14:54
Speaker 8: Everybody could fit that guy into their rotation, not everybody,
14:57
Speaker 8: like last year Suarez was the name, not everybody. He
15:00
Speaker 8: can hit plug this third basement in and demand and
15:03
Speaker 8: drive up the price. Again, I think if it, if
15:06
Speaker 8: it fits well, the position player spot is the one
15:08
Speaker 8: that makes a lot of sense. They could definitely need
15:11
Speaker 8: some kind of bullpen arm, but that one, I don't know,
15:14
Speaker 8: gets pushed all the way into the middle of the table.
15:17
Speaker 8: It does feel like a year that if you were
15:19
Speaker 8: gonna give some reinforcements, some real pop to that guy,
15:24
Speaker 8: that this just feels like such a great year with
15:26
Speaker 8: the impending whatever happens at at the end of this thing,
15:28
Speaker 8: and give yourself a shot to win and be the
15:31
Speaker 8: longest reigning World Series champion in thirty years.
15:34
Speaker 1: All right, so look like.
15:35
Speaker 7: That, let's get in the DeLorean. Like that, let's get
15:38
Speaker 7: in the DeLorean. And last year it was Suarez.
15:44
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
15:46
Speaker 6: They gotta get him, they gotta get him, and people
15:48
Speaker 6: were cautionary tale is it?
15:50
Speaker 1: They were bummed?
15:51
Speaker 8: He was bad down the stretch. He had a really
15:53
Speaker 8: really good couple of October moment. That's a good point,
15:55
Speaker 8: and that that was why a lot of why you
15:57
Speaker 8: would think that you would want him was for the
15:59
Speaker 8: swing in October. True, right, Like, so there, I think
16:04
Speaker 8: there's a there's a real double edge short there. But
16:06
Speaker 8: what what he hit a buck sixty five down down
16:08
Speaker 8: the stretch? Was he got traded?
16:09
Speaker 6: It was lack of homers was the big But also
16:11
Speaker 6: you can't look at that and say, well, that's the
16:14
Speaker 6: reason to not get somebody. You have to do your
16:15
Speaker 6: own analysis on each decision point, right, I mean, yeah,
16:19
Speaker 6: it was.
16:19
Speaker 7: He had regular season for Seattle two hundred and twenty
16:22
Speaker 7: played appearances, two hundred and one official at bats. He
16:26
Speaker 7: did hit thirteen homers in that time thirty one RBI.
16:29
Speaker 7: But he hit one eighty nine on base two fifty
16:32
Speaker 7: five slug four twenty eight with the Seattle Mariners.
16:35
Speaker 1: That's better than I remember, actually.
16:37
Speaker 8: Right, like the bombs, the equals it out and it
16:40
Speaker 8: comes to what do you what are you gonna end
16:43
Speaker 8: up valuing the absolute most in the stretch running in
16:47
Speaker 8: the playoffs, homers and defense, And he didn't necessarily give
16:50
Speaker 8: you a great amount of defense, which I think is
16:52
Speaker 8: also one of the reasons why they're the name that
16:54
Speaker 8: I still loved for the last three years. And now
16:56
Speaker 8: that no longer he's a Saint Louis Cardinal, maybe you
16:58
Speaker 8: can actually pry them away and is Nolan Ernatto because
17:01
Speaker 8: he would give you maybe a bat and real defense
17:03
Speaker 8: over there, but you'd have him for a longer time.
17:05
Speaker 1: I just I'm fascinated by it.
17:07
Speaker 8: When Fisher his first was that his first at bat,
17:10
Speaker 8: or just his first game yesterday at double A mashes
17:13
Speaker 8: a homer and pimps it with that kind of a
17:15
Speaker 8: bad flip. Yeah, Drew, that's where uh, that's where the
17:18
Speaker 8: future of the hot corner is. But you want to
17:20
Speaker 8: keep the seat warm here because the rest of the
17:22
Speaker 8: guys I think at the big league club deserve that
17:24
Speaker 8: opportunity to take a shot at because they have put
17:26
Speaker 8: themselves in as good a position.
17:28
Speaker 1: As anyone to go and try to win this thing.
17:30
Speaker 7: Home runs play in the playoffs. Sworez hit one in
17:33
Speaker 7: the LDS against Detroit, which they won. Hmm, but he
17:36
Speaker 7: also hit ninety five in that series. He was two
17:39
Speaker 7: for twenty one with a He was a double ed sword.
17:43
Speaker 7: In the LCS against Toronto, he uped it. He hit
17:46
Speaker 7: three to zero eight with two homers and seven rbi.
17:49
Speaker 7: So that was a more representative series. He was eight
17:51
Speaker 7: for twenty six, much better.
17:54
Speaker 1: Well, and we do this now.
17:55
Speaker 6: So we've done this, and the more we do this thing,
17:58
Speaker 6: the more it's like we recognize how'm what the homers
18:00
Speaker 6: are on the playoff?
18:01
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and where where's Sores now?
18:03
Speaker 8: I believe he's back in Cincinnati now if if he
18:07
Speaker 8: his name is hot around the deadline, just wait for
18:09
Speaker 8: the He's also a clutch player, because you saw the wbcure,
18:13
Speaker 8: you saw him have the big swing in the WBC.
18:16
Speaker 8: You know that he's a clutch guy, the playoff player
18:18
Speaker 8: there at the end, there's no real great mathematic for it.
18:22
Speaker 1: There's no way to quantify it.
18:24
Speaker 8: That's one of the tough things I think for these uh,
18:26
Speaker 8: these process driven teams, Drew. You can't put numbers on
18:29
Speaker 8: a lot of these things. You can put a number
18:32
Speaker 8: on how great of a chance you have to win
18:33
Speaker 8: the World Series. But the juice in the in the orangeine,
18:38
Speaker 8: in that clubhouse, you only understand it until you ring
18:40
Speaker 8: the thing out and you go all the way, let's
18:42
Speaker 8: see if we.
18:42
Speaker 1: Can do it right?
18:43
Speaker 6: Is really not having a great year, by the way,
18:45
Speaker 6: it's look, the second half might be his death this year.
18:51
Speaker 6: It might be the reversal of last year. You don't
18:53
Speaker 6: know to your point, what's gonna happen. You just don't mean, yeah,
18:58
Speaker 6: he's thirty four, Yeah, so yeah, he's kind of at
19:01
Speaker 6: the end of the I'm.
19:02
Speaker 8: Excited to see who the new who the big toy
19:04
Speaker 8: is this year though, who's the who's the big target,
19:08
Speaker 8: because is it just gonna be Schooble, Because that's what
19:11
Speaker 8: everybody's talking about right now, Drew And you know, I
19:15
Speaker 8: don't know an eight game winning streak from the Tigers
19:18
Speaker 8: and he might be traded to the Detroit Tigers.
19:20
Speaker 1: It's always the deadline.
19:21
Speaker 6: It's always like not who's the best available, but it's
19:24
Speaker 6: like who's the or who's the best player, But it's
19:26
Speaker 6: who's the best available. It's like when the first top
19:28
Speaker 6: fourteen girls already got asked to prom and you got
19:31
Speaker 6: number fifteen left, but she's number one because it's scarcity.
19:34
Speaker 1: It's the scarcity factor number one in your heart. Here's
19:36
Speaker 1: the thing, though, schools available a.
19:38
Speaker 7: Team, and part of it is the expanded playoffs. So
19:41
Speaker 7: but a team like the Astros, you think they might
19:43
Speaker 7: be sellers. They currently said thirty five and forty one.
19:46
Speaker 7: There are three teams ahead of them in the Ale West,
19:49
Speaker 7: but they're only three and a half out, only three
19:51
Speaker 7: and a half out, So it's like there's no need
19:53
Speaker 7: to sell, yeah, because the Mariners are leading that division
19:56
Speaker 7: and they're only thirty eight and thirty seven.
19:57
Speaker 6: All these American League teams that aren't be exactly, So
20:01
Speaker 6: everybody's in the mix.
20:02
Speaker 1: So that puts a chilling effect on the trade.
20:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, and luckily, and that's why again they it pushed.
20:07
Speaker 8: They pushed it back a little bit. I think it's
20:09
Speaker 8: August third this year. That's why I still would go
20:11
Speaker 8: back to the good old days. Yeah, the non waiver
20:14
Speaker 8: trade deadline. In the waiver trade dead why that was
20:16
Speaker 8: pretty sweet. You could still get guys.
20:18
Speaker 1: It's some more sweet action right there towards that before
20:20
Speaker 1: the Yeah, right before the end.
20:21
Speaker 7: And as long as they're on your team September first,
20:23
Speaker 7: they're eligible for the playoffs.
20:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:26
Speaker 7: Hey, when we come back, our Hunter Bombguard had a
20:29
Speaker 7: one on one with the Miss Hunter joins us today Live.
20:33
Speaker 7: But he's gonna join us right now because he had
20:36
Speaker 7: an one on one interview with the man the Myth,
20:38
Speaker 7: the talk of the Town, Jacob Mazerowski. That's coming up next,
20:42
Speaker 7: just for you five o'clock clubbers, because we take care
20:44
Speaker 7: of our five o'clock clubbers. You're in the huddle, Fox
20:46
Speaker 7: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
20:54
Speaker 8: Then I come to the second game, American.
21:02
Speaker 1: Family Field standing cheer.
21:19
Speaker 7: Nice moment from last night American Family Field. Cooper Pratt
21:22
Speaker 7: gets his first big League hit.
21:24
Speaker 1: Love the Coop chants, you know. I was thinking about that.
21:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, because it's been what almost forty years since Cecil
21:32
Speaker 7: Cooper played for the Brewers.
21:33
Speaker 6: Last year was eighty seven, So yeah, thirty nine years,
21:36
Speaker 6: he's still remembered and maybe that's a cool thing that
21:40
Speaker 6: they're bringing back Coop the next Coop.
21:43
Speaker 1: I think it is cool. I mean, let's face it,
21:45
Speaker 1: we're simple people around here. We have that prompt.
21:47
Speaker 7: A lot of the people that are chanting there were
21:49
Speaker 7: in the stands in eighty seven and in the eighties
21:52
Speaker 7: when Cecil Cooper played and John Coon was a popular
21:54
Speaker 7: guy because of his name.
21:55
Speaker 6: Anything you can chant with that long, we're suckers for
21:59
Speaker 6: that here now. It always is going to be helpful.
22:02
Speaker 6: I have a cheerable name.
22:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely with with that and that easy too. It
22:06
Speaker 1: would also be sick if like he had a sense
22:09
Speaker 1: of he's a young guy.
22:10
Speaker 6: I don't expect this, if he had a sense of
22:12
Speaker 6: history though, Drew and all of a sudden just did
22:14
Speaker 6: the wave down of one of his hits, you know,
22:16
Speaker 6: like in the in the playoffs.
22:19
Speaker 9: I'm not expecting it, Billy, I'm not saying that's the
22:22
Speaker 9: next level because I appreciated ba in the midst of
22:27
Speaker 9: the call right after being like that young man does
22:29
Speaker 9: not understand the reverence that that call means and how
22:33
Speaker 9: how powerful it is in the city.
22:36
Speaker 8: Maybe he maybe we'll educate him, Maybe we will, but
22:39
Speaker 8: next week we'll let him fly afloat on the moon here,
22:41
Speaker 8: for he's.
22:42
Speaker 7: A Cooper was a great brewer and like you know,
22:45
Speaker 7: he played today, get another look for a Hall of
22:47
Speaker 7: fame because he was definitely twenty one hundred hits. He
22:50
Speaker 7: hit two ninety eight for his career, very existent and
22:53
Speaker 7: fielder like he you know, if people looked at war
22:56
Speaker 7: and stuff like that with the war, would war help us?
22:59
Speaker 7: It was more about stats back then. You get three
23:01
Speaker 7: thousand hits, well then you're not a Hall of fame.
23:03
Speaker 1: Which he's home runs.
23:05
Speaker 6: He's still had good numbers, but you're right for hall
23:07
Speaker 6: of fame back then, I mean, you know, and and
23:09
Speaker 6: a lot of it was he played first base. There's
23:10
Speaker 6: a lot of good first basement back then. Oh yeah,
23:13
Speaker 6: so it was a lot a lot of factors involved.
23:15
Speaker 1: But yeah, but he was he was, you know, knocking
23:18
Speaker 1: on the door.
23:18
Speaker 7: I'm not saying it's an egregious thing that he didn't
23:20
Speaker 7: get in the Times Simmons one.
23:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean three times he was top five an
23:23
Speaker 1: MVP ballot.
23:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was in the mix to ninety eight lifetime
23:26
Speaker 6: average not too shabby at all.
23:30
Speaker 1: So yeah, so he he is.
23:31
Speaker 7: And it's it's tough because you again, I'm not I'm
23:36
Speaker 7: not saying that he got shafted, but he's one of
23:38
Speaker 7: the notable, like really good players who's not in and
23:40
Speaker 7: didn't get a lot of didn't.
23:42
Speaker 8: Get a lot of pub it's kind of hall of
23:43
Speaker 8: very good from the moment they they deemed it to him. Yeah,
23:47
Speaker 8: three time Silver Slugger, five time All Star, two Golden Gloves,
23:50
Speaker 8: Clemente a Warding.
23:51
Speaker 7: And if you put him up against like you know,
23:53
Speaker 7: Don Mattinglee and guys like that, he's right out there
23:55
Speaker 7: so well.
23:56
Speaker 8: And I do I think the Baseball Hall of Fame
23:58
Speaker 8: is another one where you just hit it drew. Like
24:00
Speaker 8: the counting stats are gonna be different because not everyone's
24:03
Speaker 8: gonna we see it more with pitchers like, Okay, you're
24:06
Speaker 8: not gonna start every four days and you're not gonna
24:08
Speaker 8: be able to throw one hundred and thirty eight pitches.
24:10
Speaker 8: You're probably not gonna get that many guys to three
24:13
Speaker 8: thousand strikeouts or obviously the win counting stat is is
24:16
Speaker 8: it kind of a gone by one?
24:18
Speaker 1: But even just like.
24:21
Speaker 8: Load managements to the talk in the NBA, how many
24:24
Speaker 8: guys are playing one sixty two in Major League Baseball anymore,
24:26
Speaker 8: that's a great right. So like the counting stats for
24:29
Speaker 8: offensive players are the ones that you almost forget about
24:32
Speaker 8: because you see, well they play almost every day, they
24:35
Speaker 8: play six out of the seven days. But there's that
24:38
Speaker 8: one will get will get missed with a lot of
24:39
Speaker 8: these cats. So I'm glad get a little Coop in conversation.
24:43
Speaker 8: And Coop when he was on the ballot didn't get
24:45
Speaker 8: a single vote first his only year on the ballot
24:51
Speaker 8: and got no votes. They put Aerol bains in, so
24:54
Speaker 8: maybe they can. I was just thinking, should I throw
24:57
Speaker 8: Harold Baines's name out here or is that devil decided?
25:01
Speaker 7: Then there's great a great baseball trivia nugget here. The
25:04
Speaker 7: only player with more career hits than Cecil Cooper to
25:07
Speaker 7: get no votes on a Hall of Fame ballot was
25:09
Speaker 7: Juan Pierre another one and seventeen hits.
25:13
Speaker 1: On his resume.
25:14
Speaker 6: It is a very difficult thing when you start analyzing
25:17
Speaker 6: these and we've talked to Hall of Fame so many
25:18
Speaker 6: times in gatekeeping, when you're trying to analyze these ballots,
25:21
Speaker 6: it can be difficult because you have multiple standard metrics
25:25
Speaker 6: and multiple things going on. And I think the problem
25:28
Speaker 6: is he's probably compared to a bunch of First Basement
25:30
Speaker 6: during that era. Yeah, and everyone murray all those guys
25:34
Speaker 6: that put up huge numbers because that wasn't still remains
25:37
Speaker 6: a power position. It's funny because we just have ball
25:38
Speaker 6: Fromkenosha asking about moving to Rang to first here somewhere
25:41
Speaker 6: in the comments and we'll get to them, but it's like,
25:43
Speaker 6: you do expect a certain level of offense from that position,
25:46
Speaker 6: and if you don't get it, everyone's gonna side on you.
25:48
Speaker 1: Although Jake Bowers has been doing it this Year's right.
25:51
Speaker 7: That's the funny, by the way, and Arman loves this,
25:54
Speaker 7: you know, the b War and fourth and club history
25:57
Speaker 7: behind youant Maletor and Braun for Cooper.
26:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's up there, and then I think Higera's next.
26:03
Speaker 6: Yeall just kind of running some of those guys down.
26:07
Speaker 6: As the years go on, he's getting higher and higher
26:08
Speaker 6: and Brewers War all time so he's gonna be Yeah,
26:11
Speaker 6: Sorillo has always been up there. People forget about uh
26:15
Speaker 6: oh yeah the icon so couldn't see that always. But yeah, absolutely,
26:20
Speaker 6: just to hear Bob Betts one more time say he's
26:22
Speaker 6: all Cooper.
26:25
Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt, you know that.
26:28
Speaker 6: I like that Cooper's second hit last night was also
26:31
Speaker 6: more like an RBI and like it was more of
26:33
Speaker 6: a clean knock.
26:35
Speaker 8: You know.
26:35
Speaker 6: The first one was great, but it was also like
26:37
Speaker 6: a C ball kind of shot, which was totally fine.
26:39
Speaker 6: But then Cooper is like, all right, let me get
26:41
Speaker 6: a real one now and smacked it to right. Just
26:44
Speaker 6: beautiful opposite field stuff like that, you know, and the
26:47
Speaker 6: and the uncles and the dad love seeing that.
26:48
Speaker 1: Right, Billy take the opposite field. You see what he did.
26:52
Speaker 1: Let me rewind that. You see what he did son
26:54
Speaker 1: he time. He didn't try to overswing and pull it.
26:57
Speaker 1: He just stayed right with the ball. That's what you
26:59
Speaker 1: gotta do. That's a ballplayer.
27:01
Speaker 8: Nice level swing. Yeah, make sure that's level. You want
27:03
Speaker 8: to drop that back shoulder. I also I enjoyed being
27:07
Speaker 8: able to see the moment that he was able to
27:11
Speaker 8: get over there at first base. But then also no
27:14
Speaker 8: instantly A man, Hey, lock in brother, all right, you're
27:17
Speaker 8: gonna be up here for a while. We paid you
27:19
Speaker 8: fifty million dollars, so can soak in the moment for
27:21
Speaker 8: three seconds.
27:22
Speaker 1: Second? Yeah, why'd you get rolling here? Why why did
27:24
Speaker 1: you get moving? Get a go score that, get that
27:27
Speaker 1: first stolen base out of the way.
27:28
Speaker 2: Get.
27:31
Speaker 7: Like, let's get let's all get it like this week.
27:33
Speaker 7: Let's knock all the fur hit your first homer, do
27:35
Speaker 7: it all.
27:35
Speaker 1: They gave him the mull again on the first one,
27:37
Speaker 1: first air in game number one.
27:38

Speaker 6: Get your first hit, your gear round, and you come
27:54
Speaker 6: back and your first base coach is waving for the ball,
27:57

29:10
Speaker 3: his first RBI, his first stolen base. All happened in
29:13
Speaker 3: his second game of his career. He told us that, hey,
29:16
Speaker 3: the big leagues is a little different than Triple A.
29:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a whole lot different than minor league baseball.
29:20
Speaker 2: That's for sure. I could care less, Like, obviously, I
29:24
Speaker 2: want to do everything to help the team.
29:25
Speaker 5: That like in the minor leagues, you.
29:26
Speaker 6: Like want to get a hit.
29:27
Speaker 5: Really, guys like I just want to, like if I

Speaker 5: can do anything to help. It's like the playoff baseball.
29:33
Speaker 5: Almost in the minor league bague, you don't care. As
29:36
Speaker 5: long as you win.
29:38
Speaker 1: You do care, but you know what I mean.
29:41
Speaker 3: And Brewers manager Pat Murphy shared his thoughts on the
29:43
Speaker 3: night of first for Pratt.
29:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he had two great of bats where
29:47
Speaker 4: he stayed in the zone and didn't try to do
29:49
Speaker 4: too much. He'll tell you, you know, it was predicted
29:53
Speaker 4: by some great swami that his first hit would be
29:57
Speaker 4: between three to four hole. I was a prediction that
30:01
Speaker 4: was told to him by the swami. And then it
30:04
Speaker 4: came true and he started to realize eight you know
30:06
Speaker 4: what I don't have to do too much, so really
30:09
Speaker 4: proud of them, really proud of them.
30:11
Speaker 3: So the Brewers are nineteen games over five hundred for
30:13
Speaker 3: the first time this season at forty five and twenty six.
30:15
Speaker 3: They're a major league best thirty two and thirteen since
30:18
Speaker 3: April twenty six. Absolutely on a roll, and they'll go
30:22
Speaker 3: for the sweep. With Shane Drowan on the mount at

Speaker 7: The Swami's got me laughing.
30:59
Speaker 8: Yeah, I like, there's nothing better than being able to
31:02
Speaker 8: call back one of your victories. And I like that
31:05
Speaker 8: Murph wanted everybody to know, Hey, there's somebody that kind
31:09
Speaker 8: of knows some stuff in this in this stuckout, I
31:12
Speaker 8: guess somebody in here is kind of smart. Somebody in
31:14
Speaker 8: here kind of knows what we're talking about.
31:17
Speaker 1: Kind of story. I love it.
31:19
Speaker 6: You gotta love that humor, and you gotta love like
31:21
Speaker 6: if your first major league manager is a guy like Murf,
31:23
Speaker 6: what a blessing that must be for a young player.
31:25
Speaker 1: And to say something like I'm really proud of him. Boy,
31:27
Speaker 1: that's gotta lift the spirits. I just you just like that.
31:30
Speaker 6: I like how Cooper was, you know, being honest and vulnerable,
31:34
Speaker 6: but then again kept catching himself like, oh should I
31:36
Speaker 6: say this?
31:36
Speaker 1: Should I not? Like, kept correcting himself.
31:38
Speaker 6: It was kind of It's kind of fun to see him,
31:41
Speaker 6: to see the way he was talking to the reporters,
31:43
Speaker 6: but a little revealing there saying, you know what, I
31:45
Speaker 6: don't have any level to try and reach anymore in
31:47
Speaker 6: terms of impressing somebody, like I don't have to worry
31:50
Speaker 6: about like, you know, catching the eye of a scout
31:53
Speaker 6: or trying to make sure my numbers look good. I
31:55
Speaker 6: just have to help my team win. Now now I've
31:57
Speaker 6: made it to them big leagues. Now it's all about
31:58
Speaker 6: the team. It's kind of interesting to get into the
32:00
Speaker 6: mentality and to get inside the mind of a guy,
32:03
Speaker 6: the young player like that when you when he says
32:05
Speaker 6: something like that, Yeah.
32:07
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's an interesting cat. How about that?
32:10
Speaker 1: I mean, experiencing everything at the big league level. Do
32:13
Speaker 1: we got more of that? More of that audio from
32:15
Speaker 1: from Pratt as well? I do, Like you know what
32:17
Speaker 1: I mean.
32:17
Speaker 8: I kind of didn't know what exactly he meant I mean,
32:20
Speaker 8: But that's one of those where you understand when somebody
32:24
Speaker 8: says the phrase, this conversation's over, just like when somebody says, hey,
32:28
Speaker 8: with all due respect, I'm about to say the most
32:30
Speaker 8: disrespectful thing you've ever heard to your face in your life.
32:34
Speaker 1: Right like that, that is a set the stage, you
32:36
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
32:37
Speaker 8: Sure, I'm not gonna explain it again because I know
32:39
Speaker 8: that I messed up my words, but you know what
32:41
Speaker 8: I mean.
32:41
Speaker 1: So let's just move on and go to the next one.
32:43
Speaker 1: All right?
32:43
Speaker 9: Uh?
32:44
Speaker 1: From the nine too?
32:45
Speaker 6: Oh eight seven seven seven nine four one seven three.
32:48
Speaker 6: Nicola Lottak, I'm talking text line. If I was playing GM,
32:51
Speaker 6: I would go for a third baseman with power and
32:53
Speaker 6: another high leverage bullpen arm.
32:55
Speaker 7: I have no idea who. That's just what I think
32:57
Speaker 7: would help this team go all in and make a run.
33:00
Speaker 6: I love Jason saying that there the third basement with
33:03
Speaker 6: power might be sitting a double a bl Look.
33:05
Speaker 1: See, we saw him in the World Baseball Classic, unfazed
33:08
Speaker 1: and raking.
33:10
Speaker 6: No.
33:10
Speaker 1: I'm glad you say it, Drew, because you're you're the
33:12
Speaker 1: baseball guy. There's something to everybody. Wow.
33:15
Speaker 8: You can't bring him up after us until he's got
33:17
Speaker 8: fifteen hundred minor league at bats. You gotta get through
33:20
Speaker 8: a thousand. You gotta be able to see man when
33:22
Speaker 8: the guy's hitting like that, and he did see the
33:24
Speaker 8: big league pitching there. I'm watching as much College World
33:27
Speaker 8: Series as I ever have before. These players look way
33:30
Speaker 8: better than they've been before, And I know the metal
33:33
Speaker 8: bats a great equalizer with everything right, and it's a
33:36
Speaker 8: hard thing to immediately quantify how you're gonna do at.
33:39
Speaker 1: The big league level. Seems like he's doing okay.
33:41
Speaker 8: Seems like he's doing pretty good for the Bill Stick
33:43
Speaker 8: would I'd wonder how long you can how long it
33:46
Speaker 8: would take to fast track somebody like that, or just
33:48
Speaker 8: see if the pop could happen here at the big
33:50
Speaker 8: league level, because I mean, I don't know where the
33:52
Speaker 8: defensive one will be. He'll definitely be your guy for
33:55
Speaker 8: the next couple of years. But for right here, right now,
33:58
Speaker 8: do you promote from within once again or do you
34:00
Speaker 8: take one more swing and hold the seat warm for
34:03
Speaker 8: twenty seven For Andrew Fisher's exactly the tough conundrum it is.
34:07
Speaker 8: It's it's tough con underhim having too many good players.
34:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this.
34:11
Speaker 8: I like this a lot better trying to figure out
34:13
Speaker 8: how many more for a guys, how many more? No
34:16
Speaker 8: doubt Felipe Lopez and Hector Gomez is can we throw
34:19
Speaker 8: a lot of that when guys out there twenty.
34:20
Speaker 7: Five big league debuts between twenty and twenty two, Whereas
34:24
Speaker 7: I remember seeing guys and he's twenty nine first at first,
34:26
Speaker 7: made early, get back.
34:27
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good.
34:28
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot more danielous Spino moments than Cooper Pratt
34:31
Speaker 8: moments from the time covering ball exactly.
34:34
Speaker 6: Asking we do love talking about it though I like
34:36
Speaker 6: his fans and playing GM and just trying to ye
34:39
Speaker 6: piece meal a meal together and say, oh, this guy
34:41
Speaker 6: could play here in two years and we could bring
34:43
Speaker 6: this guy in and we could he Here's the thing though,
34:45
Speaker 6: and like let's watch and enjoy too with Pratt, like
34:48
Speaker 6: Matt Arnold would say, he's gonna have his ups and downs.
34:51
Speaker 7: He's gonna go through slumps. They all do, everybody does.
34:54
Speaker 7: Bryce Trang was just in a slump. Churio is Rake,
34:58
Speaker 7: and I don't know if he's gonna hit you know,
35:00
Speaker 7: homers a week everything for the rest of the year,
35:01
Speaker 7: but he's a nasty run right now. He's on a
35:03
Speaker 7: heater right now, Mitchell, if he continues to produce the
35:07
Speaker 7: way he has the last couple of weeks, if.
35:08
Speaker 1: That can become like his baseline, that's his baseline. You're
35:11
Speaker 1: in our.
35:11
Speaker 7: Offense like you're not in such dire need of that
35:15
Speaker 7: injection as third base. It's not such a sinkhole it
35:18
Speaker 7: can be, you know the other guys, and we mentioned Contrara's.
35:21
Speaker 1: Quietly been really hot.
35:22
Speaker 7: Yep, you know he's been good and starting to thump
35:25
Speaker 7: a little bit, so they don't It's not that far
35:27
Speaker 7: away as people it's not as glaring right when, Oh yeah,
35:31
Speaker 7: this offense at the peak of its powers.
35:33
Speaker 1: They're forty and twenty six. I think that's the thing.
35:35
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I mean, they're really good right now.
35:37
Speaker 1: You're in in hope for.
35:38
Speaker 7: Something else as much as I all right, statman Steven
35:41
Speaker 7: og five o'clock clubber said, day seventeen of Armin getting hacked,
35:45
Speaker 7: does he miss Twitter?
35:46
Speaker 6: Not only that this hackers added again last night doing
35:49
Speaker 6: something weird smart enough weird activity.
35:52
Speaker 1: He retweeted our show. I saw that, which was weird,
35:55
Speaker 1: which is nice.
35:56
Speaker 7: I will admit I gave I gave thought to fire
36:00
Speaker 7: following the arm and Sorry account. Everybody could understandable. Everybody
36:03
Speaker 7: put it out. We should put it on everybody unfollow Armine.
36:06
Speaker 7: So this guy dumps the account, or at least started
36:09
Speaker 7: It's like, steal my identity and then you get all
36:11
Speaker 7: of the creditors coming after you because I got all
36:13
Speaker 7: my unpaid bills, or at least.
36:15
Speaker 1: Start trolling this guy. Let him know.
36:16
Speaker 8: We know you're not armed, but then I can he'll
36:18
Speaker 8: just block you. Well, you can't, replies her off. So
36:20
Speaker 8: Drew's idea might be the best one to get quote
36:22
Speaker 8: but yeah, you're right, you can't reply.
36:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, he threw up a picture of me and my
36:26
Speaker 1: brand new Rolex last night. But what I thought was
36:28
Speaker 1: when he.
36:28
Speaker 6: Kept a photo of you proposing to Laura, he always
36:31
Speaker 6: that one's still he's trying to become me.

36:41
Speaker 6: and the Cardier Watch and the mansion in Dallas, which
36:45
Speaker 6: I don't understand that at all.

36:48

38:12
Speaker 7: to some of his greatest hits from last night, not
38:14
Speaker 7: the base hits, but at his locker.
38:17
Speaker 1: Results aside, how did tonight compare to last night? A
38:23
Speaker 1: lot calmer.
38:25
Speaker 5: Yesterday I was kind of like trying to figure out
38:27
Speaker 5: the schedule, trying to figure out where I was supposed
38:29
Speaker 5: to be, when I was supposed to be there, not
38:31
Speaker 5: be late. I'm trying to figure out the ins and
38:35
Speaker 5: outs kind of. And then today after having yesterday, knowing
38:39
Speaker 5: when to do stuff, not being rushed, and then like
38:43
Speaker 5: it just was more relaxed because I got the first
38:45
Speaker 5: one out of the way and then it was just like, Okay,
38:47
Speaker 5: you had your day, Now it's time.
38:49
Speaker 2: To play it.
38:50
Speaker 3: Speaking of getting the one out of the way, how
38:52
Speaker 3: did it feel to get that first hit and just
38:53
Speaker 3: kind of the then after that as well?
38:56
Speaker 2: It would have been nice to have it yesterday, but
38:59
Speaker 2: do this fantastic sick I was around.
39:01
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my gosh, gonna go to get through.
39:04
Speaker 5: I was like afraid he was gonna like dive or
39:06
Speaker 5: something and throw me out. And once I saw him
39:08
Speaker 5: go through, I was like, oh yeah, I heard the
39:10
Speaker 5: crowd and it was it was sick.
39:12
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do with the balls?
39:14
Speaker 1: They go to? Anybody here?
39:14
Speaker 2: You start, yeah, probably throw it away. I'll probably just
39:19
Speaker 2: give it to my parents, hold on to it the
39:23
Speaker 2: rest of the stuff that I have.
39:25
Speaker 4: Cooper, did you find your parents and everybody in the.
39:27
Speaker 1: Stands after you had that head or or no?
39:31
Speaker 10: No.
39:31
Speaker 2: As soon as I got the first I was like
39:33
Speaker 2: trying to soak it in.
39:34
Speaker 5: Like get ready to get ready, get ready, He's about
39:37
Speaker 5: to pitch and I'm like, okay, and so I was
39:41
Speaker 5: like trying to be like, yeah, let's go.
39:43
Speaker 1: And then it was like, all right, let's go, let's go.
39:46
Speaker 2: But I know they were there, they were watching.
39:49
Speaker 1: So are you are you hearing the you and are
39:55
Speaker 1: you aware of the history of that of another Brewer's players.

Speaker 10: I mean Coop sesssled. Yeah, there was a I think
40:04
Speaker 10: there was an maybe not yeah, but no it sounds cool. Yeah,
40:09

40:12
Speaker 10: dang in here one game.
40:14
Speaker 1: And uh no, no, it's cool. Sign.
40:17
Speaker 8: I mean I like it.
40:19
Speaker 5: It seems like you got tested on the basis pretty
40:21
Speaker 5: quickly there too, once you got to second.
40:23
Speaker 1: The line drive to the left side that you scored on. Yeah,
40:28
Speaker 1: have a read on that one.
40:29
Speaker 2: It kind of I mean, I knew once he hit it.
40:31
Speaker 2: I knew once he hit it.
40:32
Speaker 5: It was over his head, so I just freaking ran
40:35
Speaker 5: as hard as I could made a bad throw safe.
40:41
Speaker 1: You can tell Cooper you're really having fun? Like is
40:43
Speaker 1: this everything you dreamed of?
40:45
Speaker 9: Yeah?
40:45
Speaker 5: It's a whole lot different than minor league baseball, that's
40:47
Speaker 5: for sure. I could care less, Like obviously I want
40:51
Speaker 5: to do everything to help the team. But like in
40:52
