2:57
Speaker 5: UH talking text line for us. We're kicking around some
3:02
Speaker 5: topics today, but we have to kick around Who's hot
3:04
Speaker 5: and Who's not? Presented by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling
3:07
Speaker 5: the experts in HVAC locally employee owned for more than
3:10
Speaker 5: forty years. Go with the best Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling.
3:15
Speaker 5: Candidates for Who's Hot and Who's Not? Is William Cotrerez
3:18
Speaker 5: officially hot, yet.
3:19
Speaker 4: I was gonna say Drew stole the first one right
3:22
Speaker 4: at the top of the list, easy one, four for
3:24
Speaker 4: four for wild Bill yesterday, and a bomb that one's
3:27
Speaker 4: gonna easily get you into the hot category.
3:30
Speaker 3: Not hot yesterday.
3:31
Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark, first home game in nine months, was supposed
3:34
Speaker 4: to be a big celebration and said she crumbled to
3:37
Speaker 4: the floor on Thursday night, gave a little bit of
3:40
Speaker 4: a fear. That's my Dallas wings flew in there and
3:44
Speaker 4: dominated the game late.
3:45
Speaker 3: Thanks to twenty from Witchbackers.
3:47
Speaker 4: Twenty one points though from Caitlin Clark nothing to sneeze at,
3:50
Speaker 4: but also in that Brewers game. Can we put Tyler
3:53
Speaker 4: Black in the hot category?
3:55
Speaker 7: You think so?
3:55
Speaker 4: Young man comes up making the most of his opportunities
3:58
Speaker 4: in three eighty nine in the small sample size two
4:02
Speaker 4: hits yesterday, had three hits on Tuesday as well as
4:05
Speaker 4: a two hit game on Saturday against the Pirates. So
4:08
Speaker 4: you start firing in multi hit games, you're gonna find
4:10
Speaker 4: yourself in the hot category pretty quickly. Jade McDaniels had
4:13
Speaker 4: thirty two last night as the Minnesota Timberwolves dispatched the
4:18
Speaker 4: Denver Nuggets, and that leads you right over to the
4:21
Speaker 4: not category. Nicola Jokic out of the NBA Playoffs, Denver
4:25
Speaker 4: Nuggets out of the NBA playoffs. Sjamal Murray was brutal
4:29
Speaker 4: last night. Cam Johnson tried to keep him in the
4:31
Speaker 4: game but just didn't have it. Not Also, where the
4:34
Speaker 4: entire Atlanta Hawks team that is the one that is
4:38
Speaker 4: the poster for not hot? I mean, like I've seen
4:41
Speaker 4: a lot of them, you know, send cheek picks, And
4:45
Speaker 4: it was just a picture of the Atlanta Hawks logo
4:47
Speaker 4: right like the internet is having some fun with how
4:50
Speaker 4: bad the Atlanta Hawks were last night, and I just
4:53
Speaker 4: I still hold out this. It was far worse than
4:57
Speaker 4: the score indicates. Hey, watching the game, it was a
5:00
Speaker 4: lot worse to watch than the entire in the entirety
5:04
Speaker 4: of it. How about the Mets finishing the month of
5:06
Speaker 4: April drew ten and twenty one.
5:10
Speaker 3: I think they've lost seventeen to twenty.
5:11
Speaker 4: Seventeen of their last twenty game have lost in here man,
5:15
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, mister met and Missus Metters sleeping in
5:18
Speaker 4: different bedrooms. It's a tough scene there for David Stern squad.
5:21
Speaker 4: And finally, how about Connor McDavid. You talking about Jokic,
5:25
Speaker 4: maybe one of the best players in the world. Connor
5:27
Speaker 4: McDavid unanimously said, best player in the world in hockey.
5:31
Speaker 4: Out after round one the Ducks knock out the Oilers.
5:34
Speaker 4: He said last night at his locker, I don't know
5:37
Speaker 4: why you guys are surprised on Why are pressed? We're
5:40
Speaker 4: an average team all year long. When you're an average
5:42
Speaker 4: team with high expectations, you will be disappointed. He is
5:46
Speaker 4: disappointed after his team goes to the Stanley Cup Final
5:48
Speaker 4: back to back years.
5:49
Speaker 7: They're out in round one. Can we uh, I'm gonna
5:52
Speaker 7: say it. Can we call Solf really caught? Are we
5:54
Speaker 7: at that point yet? Or does he have to do
5:56
Speaker 7: a little bit more? He had another homery yesterday. He
5:58
Speaker 7: was one for five. But I'd have to see him
6:00
Speaker 7: get going a little bit, you know, my guy sal Yeah,
6:02
Speaker 7: for sure, I'm gonna I'm gonna say he's hot right now,
6:05
Speaker 7: even though we probably need to see a little more consistency,
6:07
Speaker 7: a few more well to hit. But hey man, two
6:10
Speaker 7: homers in three games is a lot for Salvator Freelix.
6:12
Speaker 7: So let's let's put salamahok category and hope he can
6:15
Speaker 7: keep it hot, heat it up.
6:17
Speaker 4: I'm just more surprised that you were going to give
6:19
Speaker 4: some give some respect, and give some love to Sal Freelick.
6:21
Speaker 4: But listen, when a guy has been serving your community
6:24
Speaker 4: like Sal Freelick, or a company's been serving your community
6:27
Speaker 4: like Donovan Jorgenson for over forty years, it tell us
6:29
Speaker 4: a lot about the company. Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling,
6:32
Speaker 4: largest employee owned HVAC company in the state. They want
6:36
Speaker 4: to earn your business. That's what sets him apart. Also,

Speaker 4: qualifying aries Pro Systems three locations West Stallis, New Berlin,

Speaker 4: mcguanago Donovan Jorgensen dot com for more information.
6:47
Speaker 5: All right, with that out of the way, where do
6:50
Speaker 5: we Where do we stand on the knicks and a
6:52
Speaker 5: possible like Eastern Conference finals or finals run we mentioned
6:56
Speaker 5: before they got there? Right now, Arma got the warm
6:58
Speaker 5: that he got in the fields because of all the
7:00
Speaker 5: former guys hanging out. But haven't we had enough of
7:05
Speaker 5: Chalomey and celebrity Row and Ben Stiller.
7:07
Speaker 3: And Tracy Morgan fe kind of but Drew, I think
7:12
Speaker 3: that the other part of.
7:13
Speaker 4: It one in so long they had, what is it
7:15
Speaker 4: fifty something years they've been but they're always going to
7:18
Speaker 4: be discussed. They're always gonna be in love because if
7:21
Speaker 4: fur Letter Network stephen A. Smith, they're a crown jewel.
7:23
Speaker 4: It's his favorite team and he'll never not talk about it.
7:26
Speaker 4: So like they're gonna there's gonna be a full glow
7:28
Speaker 4: fest here, uh for quite some time. That's why I
7:31
Speaker 4: did enjoy last year when it was like the ESPN
7:34
Speaker 4: off where it was stephen A. Smith's Knicks and McAfee's pacers.
7:39
Speaker 4: So at least they got to trade some blows back
7:42
Speaker 4: and forth that way, I think, especially if Boston. I'm
7:46
Speaker 4: with you, though, I think Boston gets through on Game seven.
7:49
Speaker 4: I thought that they were gonna win in five, thought
7:52
Speaker 4: they would win last night. And if they have this
7:54
Speaker 4: quarter where they score eleven or fifteen points, then maybe
7:57
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia seventy six ers are the ones upsetting him.
8:00
Speaker 4: I just like that we're going to keep that next
8:01
Speaker 4: series in that little Northeast corridor.
8:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is funny to though the Knicks are like
8:06
Speaker 7: the team of unfulfilled expectation and promise for so many decades.
8:10
Speaker 7: I mean, there's been so much you know, there's obviously
8:12
Speaker 7: a the fan base and the media attention. They have
8:15
Speaker 7: all the hype a lot of times, and all the
8:17
Speaker 7: hope from Knicks fans, but they always seem to find
8:20
Speaker 7: a way to not fulfill that that dream for them.
8:23
Speaker 3: So I'll be ready for a Knicks Finals run.
8:26
Speaker 7: In your question, I just failed to believe that there
8:28
Speaker 7: isn't a way they're going to still screw it up.
8:30
Speaker 7: I mean, the Knicks have always found a way, it
8:32
Speaker 7: seems like, to lose one of these series. Even the
8:35
Speaker 7: pat Riley years they couldn't overtake Jordan, and even the
8:38
Speaker 7: year that Jordan was gone, they went to the finals
8:40
Speaker 7: but couldn't hold on to that lead against the Rockets
8:42
Speaker 7: and had that awful Game seven. So I'm not really
8:45
Speaker 7: sure I think they have a good shot at it,
8:48
Speaker 7: But obviously the East is so wide open that I
8:50
Speaker 7: think a lot of.
8:51
Speaker 3: Teams a good shot at it.
8:52
Speaker 4: You know, that's the guy that's holding out hope that
8:55
Speaker 4: Giannis remains.
8:56
Speaker 3: Yes, you cheering for the Knicks to go to the finals,
8:58
Speaker 3: set right, then they're not going to he as desperate?
9:00
Speaker 6: Right?
9:00
Speaker 3: Is that the theory?
9:01
Speaker 7: That's what That's what I would guess what they go
9:03
Speaker 7: to the finals in Lewis Billy, aren't they even more
9:05
Speaker 7: desper because I don't think anything from the East is
9:06
Speaker 7: gonna win the title?
9:08
Speaker 3: You know?
9:08
Speaker 7: So is that then it's like it gives them the
9:10
Speaker 7: fuel to say, well, we are literally one player away,
9:13
Speaker 7: and Giannis.
9:14
Speaker 3: Is that player, and we'll give the farm for him.
9:17
Speaker 3: You know that.
9:18
Speaker 7: Don't know that there's a good, good scenario either way,
9:20
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, That's the one thing I
9:22
Speaker 7: wonder about it. But hey, because if it's not the Knicks,
9:25
Speaker 7: it's somebody else that's gonna feel desperate and feel that
9:28
Speaker 7: urge and feel that pressure to see, well.
9:29
Speaker 4: Detroit loses tonight, They'll be very one. They'd be very
9:33
Speaker 4: desperate and they would have a lot of resources. That
9:35
Speaker 4: would be an interesting one if you stay in the East.
9:38
Speaker 4: The Raptors, I don't know exactly where their situation is.
9:40
Speaker 4: They're gonna have a lot of money to be able
9:42
Speaker 4: to spend this year and be able to have some
9:44
Speaker 4: kind of an intriguing look. And however, Messiah Juri's not
9:48
Speaker 4: there anymore, so he can't be infatuated with Gianni's and
9:51
Speaker 4: uh hell bent on bringing him up to Toronto. I
9:55
Speaker 4: think that it's fascinating in the East because I'm with you.
9:57
Speaker 4: I think a lot of those teams still have a
9:59
Speaker 4: chance to go. I'll be cheering staunchly against the Knicks Drew,
10:02
Speaker 4: if I can make that the easiest way of saying it.
10:05
Speaker 4: But I don't want anybody in that little triumvirnt to win.
10:08
Speaker 6: Yeah.
10:09
Speaker 3: I don't want to see the Knicks.
10:10
Speaker 4: I don't want to see the Celtics, and I'm sure
10:12
Speaker 4: as hell don't want to see the Philadelphia seventy six Yeah.
10:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, There's been a lot of like who's who's bothering you?
10:18
Speaker 7: Or who's more distasteful the Sixers and the Celtics. So many
10:20
Speaker 7: people cheering against the Celtics. I'm like, I don't have
10:22
Speaker 7: any soft fuzzies for the Philadelphia seventy six ers either,
10:25
Speaker 7: So this is one of those Like I'll be interested
10:27
Speaker 7: to see what happens in Game seven, but I'm like, man,
10:30
Speaker 7: one of them is gonna win this series.
10:31
Speaker 3: You know, that's just the way it is, all right,
10:33
Speaker 3: Billy Betts.
10:34
Speaker 5: You know, let's uh in our minds, let's transport to
10:37
Speaker 5: the Pottawatomi Sportsbook.
10:38
Speaker 3: You're home away from home.
10:39
Speaker 5: Favor place three NHL games tonight potential closeouts. You got
10:45
Speaker 5: your Montreal hosting Tampa Bay. You got Boston hosting Buffalo,
10:51
Speaker 5: with Buffalo trying to close out on the road, and
10:53
Speaker 5: Vegas is at Utah trying to close out the Mammoth.
10:58
Speaker 3: I think you see three game sevens.
11:02
Speaker 4: I think I think you see three game sevens, and
11:05
Speaker 4: it's only one of those is on technically on the
11:08
Speaker 4: UH on the favorite line, because they're all so they're
11:11
Speaker 4: all so close. I mean that Utah place as much
11:13
Speaker 4: as I'll be UH pulling hard for my Golden Knights tonight,
11:17
Speaker 4: that's a tough barn. I mean, you're walking into a
11:20
Speaker 4: place that they have never had hockey before, and it
11:23
Speaker 4: is loud and crazy, and folks are drinking out of tusks,
11:26
Speaker 4: and they got the they got the Sam Mammoth walking
11:28
Speaker 4: around and strolling around and cleaning up the ice. That's
11:31
Speaker 4: a tough thing to be able to place to go
11:33
Speaker 4: into and get a win. Same thing for the Sabers
11:36
Speaker 4: now they probably are the best team. I like the
11:38
Speaker 4: Lightning to go in to Montreal and just break the
11:41
Speaker 4: hearts because I like the chaos UH and I want
11:43
Speaker 4: to see more habs fans walk out of their broken
11:45
Speaker 4: hearted tonight knowing that there's a game seven. I think there,
11:48
Speaker 4: I'm gonna roll with all three. That's plus six hundred
11:50
Speaker 4: over at the Potawatamy Sports. You're a billion parlay in
11:52
Speaker 4: the day right there. Yeah, that mammoth situation is pretty cool.
11:55
Speaker 4: They've definitely embraced it. When Oklahoma City first got the NBA,
11:59
Speaker 4: they were really into it. I think there's an excitement
12:01
Speaker 4: level there as well.
12:02
Speaker 7: And then when you have a team that's winning right away,
12:03
Speaker 7: you have an owner you can kind of rally behind
12:05
Speaker 7: in the in the tusks man, I mean, that's just
12:07
Speaker 7: a perfect setup.
12:08
Speaker 3: They're leaning right into the mammoth thing. I love that.
12:10
Speaker 3: What a perfect setup to get a tusk of beer,
12:12
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. You can't beat that. Not
12:15
Speaker 3: shabby seven still efforting to get Matt Miller to join us.
12:20
Speaker 3: It's early. What do you think about the NBA ones though? Tonight?
12:22
Speaker 4: Like because Orlando tries to close out Detroit as a
12:26
Speaker 4: home underdog, the Rockets try to extend their series as
12:29
Speaker 4: a home underdog, and the Raptors same deal as a
12:31
Speaker 4: home underdog. It seems like you could last night, I
12:35
Speaker 4: think there are a lot of people that thought favorites
12:37
Speaker 4: were gonna run away with it, narrator, the favorites didn't
12:40
Speaker 4: run away with it. And outside of the first game,
12:43
Speaker 4: when the Knicks just beat the absolute breaks off the Hawks. Tonight,
12:47
Speaker 4: I think you see three more really competitive games that
12:49
Speaker 4: Cavs Raptor series has been phenomenal series.
12:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, very interesting, that's pretty good. Detroit fascinates me just
12:57
Speaker 5: because you know, a sixty win team, a lot of
13:00
Speaker 5: people weren't buying them. It's like, I don't know if
13:02
Speaker 5: they're ready yet. And if a sixty win team goes
13:04
Speaker 5: gently into the night in the first round, you gotta go, oh, well,
13:07
Speaker 5: maybe they weren't ready yet.
13:08
Speaker 4: Would that be the worst case scenario for the NBA?
13:10
Speaker 4: Would that be like Adam Silver's worst case scenario.
13:14
Speaker 3: It's in the discussion because.
13:15
Speaker 4: The regular season would just continually get a laughed at
13:19
Speaker 4: at that point.
13:19
Speaker 3: And I mean, you go into the uh.
13:23
Speaker 4: The new lottery system rules, Orlando would have been right
13:26
Speaker 4: on the fringe of being able to knock out the
13:28
Speaker 4: number one seed and still be in the lottery.
13:32
Speaker 3: I mean they'd need a number one, they'd be the
13:34
Speaker 3: eight seed.
13:34
Speaker 4: They would still get a lottery ball with sixteen teams
13:37
Speaker 4: being into the draft lottery, and they'd be able to
13:40
Speaker 4: upset the Detroit Pistons. That'd be a hell of a
13:42
Speaker 4: world for John Hammond to be living in. Would it
13:44
Speaker 4: be interesting? I was really trying to a dive, a
13:46
Speaker 4: deep dive into the three two one lottery ruling. It
13:49
Speaker 4: does seem like there's a little relegation aspect to it.
13:52
Speaker 3: That's why it's called the relegation zone.
13:53
Speaker 7: I just think, you know, I just think there's gonna
13:55
Speaker 7: be so many people that will reject it right away
13:58
Speaker 7: just because it's They deem it as confusing and say, oh,
14:01
Speaker 7: this is stupid, this is stupid. But hey, maybe it'll
14:03
Speaker 7: be something to work that will work there. At least
14:05
Speaker 7: they're trying to solve a problem in the NBA, so
14:08
Speaker 7: I get them a little bit of kudos for that.
14:09
Speaker 7: But yeah, that would be interesting to be Orlando and
14:11
Speaker 7: be right in that mix and say, hey, all right,
14:13
Speaker 7: we're right back in there. So maybe rich will get
14:16
Speaker 7: richer still perhaps.
14:19
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, again we mentioned it earlier, Bucks have a coach official,
14:22
Speaker 5: Taylor Jenkins is coaching. We were wondering, like, why was
14:25
Speaker 5: there a week between the story breaking and the end
14:28
Speaker 5: what was going on? Now we have it, and we
14:30
Speaker 5: have another couple of days before the press conference, but
14:33
Speaker 5: where there's a chance we we'll meet. We will meet
14:36
Speaker 5: Taylor Jenkins before we meet Jonathan Gannon.
14:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, we definitely definitely will because today I believe will
14:41
Speaker 4: be a conversation for Matt Lafleur with the media in
14:44
Speaker 4: Green Bay. Uh so there there won't be the mini
14:48
Speaker 4: camp or Ota conversation with Johning thing In and until
14:51
Speaker 4: at least earliest next week Friday.
14:54
Speaker 3: Isn't that insane? Isn't that weird?
14:57
Speaker 6: Yeah?
14:57
Speaker 4: I mean, like now it's just it's just so, it
15:00
Speaker 4: just happened, right like, so now it's not as surprising
15:04
Speaker 4: to me that that it's not going to roll through
15:06
Speaker 4: because they also didn't introduce It would have been even
15:08
Speaker 4: weirder if they would have introduced a cord than because
15:12
Speaker 4: now that's two guys that have now been hired and
15:15
Speaker 4: two different coordinators that would be rather important to be
15:18
Speaker 4: able to hear. But I guess the different strokes for
15:20
Speaker 4: different folks, maybe they don't want to be able to
15:22
Speaker 4: publicize it. Jonan Riverfall said, Fellas, I'm not sure you
15:25
Speaker 4: watched the Wild Stars game last night. But Quinn Hughes
15:28
Speaker 4: should be in that hot category. Dude's a wizard also
15:30
Speaker 4: an American hero, so we'll definitely celebrate Quinn Hughes and
15:33
Speaker 4: be happy they're six o' eight. Taking some mumbrage with
15:36
Speaker 4: Arman Sarian's nomination, South Freelick hot batting average below twoin fifteen?
15:42
Speaker 4: Is he the worst starting corner outfielder in baseball when
15:45
Speaker 4: it comes to home runs and RBIs that's a power
15:48
Speaker 4: position and he's gotten none.
15:49
Speaker 7: Well, I've been the guy to bring up his struggles
15:51
Speaker 7: so far and it's funny. Now I'm trying to defend him,
15:54
Speaker 7: but I'm just saying hot in the last because he's
15:55
Speaker 7: had two homers in three games. Trust me, I know
15:57
Speaker 7: he's got a long way to go to get the
15:59
Speaker 7: offensive numbers back Cup. Look Salves Freeliks our guy in
16:02
Speaker 7: Milwaukee for a lot of people, and that's why they's
16:04
Speaker 7: been kind of looked over at this terrible start he's having.
16:07
Speaker 3: But yeah, you are.
16:07
Speaker 7: You are struggling there when he's not giving you the
16:09
Speaker 7: numbers you hope for from that position.
16:11
Speaker 5: Turning point for him was when our friends and smart,
16:14
Speaker 5: good looking listeners brought some pasta into the ballpark and forget.
16:17
Speaker 7: It what that did help? So hopefully it continues, is
16:19
Speaker 7: my point. Overall numbers have been.
16:21
Speaker 4: Mat Wasn't it last year that sal said he was
16:23
Speaker 4: just eating a lot of his mom's pasta back home
16:25
Speaker 4: and twenty five pounds a muscle. I believe so so Drew.
16:29
Speaker 4: He's been around baseball for a long time. I don't
16:31
Speaker 4: know if you've ever heard this strategy, because apparently working
16:35
Speaker 4: pretty well. I don't know if we've been watching the
16:37
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Phillies are now three and oh under Don Mattingly.
16:41
Speaker 4: This from my friend Jeff Kerr, who covers the Phillies
16:43
Speaker 4: out on the ESPN radio station out there, and it
16:46
Speaker 4: does some stuff for CBS Sports covering the Eagles. He
16:48
Speaker 4: goes Don Mattingly says he's trying to win every game.
16:55
Speaker 3: Quote.
16:55
Speaker 4: I don't think you see a team like us that's
16:57
Speaker 4: had this kind of success where they just didn't think
17:00
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, we can't play It hadn't been
17:02
Speaker 4: going our way. But I don't think there's there was
17:04
Speaker 4: a point where these guys thought, oh, this isn't this
17:07
Speaker 4: isn't gonna.
17:07
Speaker 3: Go our way.
17:08
Speaker 4: We're not gonna get in. That's just not gonna happen.
17:10
Speaker 4: Put a couple of wins on the board is always
17:12
Speaker 4: good for a club. It's our daily march. We got
17:14
Speaker 4: to grind every day, play every day. I expect to
17:17
Speaker 4: win every game we play. That's how I look at it.
17:19
Speaker 4: That's the hell of a new strategy that they're gonna
17:21
Speaker 4: implement there with the Philadelphia Phillies. We're gonna try to
17:23
Speaker 4: win in every game.
17:26
Speaker 3: I mean what that? That?
17:27
Speaker 6: What what?
17:28
Speaker 4: A boss comes in and they have shaken things up. Fellas,
17:32
Speaker 4: we're gonna win now, we're gonna start trying.
17:36
Speaker 3: I like that. I like I like the attitude adjustment.
17:39
Speaker 4: It's almost like the uh doc Rivers tweet that came
17:42
Speaker 4: out of him with that awful goatee when Sintel hit
17:46
Speaker 4: him with uh doc. Rivers has informed the Milwaukee media
17:49
Speaker 4: that he's gonna start coaching seriously and how one would
17:52
Speaker 4: come up every single time the Bucks would win the game.
17:54
Speaker 4: Holy cow, they're gonna start taking this thing seriously.
17:57
Speaker 7: This reminds you when you know, you be on the
17:58
Speaker 7: playground or you be on the basketball corps playing one
18:01
Speaker 7: on one and you beat your buddy and.
18:03
Speaker 3: He's I'm playing for serious. Oh I say that all
18:05
Speaker 3: the time. I'm playing for serious, all right. Now we're now,
18:07
Speaker 3: we're doing this for serious. I'm gonna lock in now,
18:09
Speaker 3: all right.
18:10
Speaker 7: So yeah, well, I guess the a Phillies are playing
18:12
Speaker 7: for serious now, I guess, Billy.
18:15
Speaker 5: Except for our current electric Superhero of the Day, Courent Electric,
18:18
Speaker 5: the superheroes, I see the vans everywhere now ever since
18:21
Speaker 5: we started talking about our superhero the day, superhero vans.
18:24
Speaker 3: All over the area.
18:26
Speaker 4: Now hard for me to not go with Jaden McDaniels
18:28
Speaker 4: because he was kind of their superhero for the Minnesota
18:32
Speaker 4: Timberwolves career high last night. And also, Drew, you you
18:36
Speaker 4: do superhero stuff, you get honored for it, my man.
18:39
Speaker 4: Jade McDaniels earlier in the in the series just said, yeah,
18:42
Speaker 4: we're gonna go right at their worst offenders, Jokich, Jamal Murray,
18:46
Speaker 4: their whole.
18:47
Speaker 3: Team, they're all bad, they're all bad.
18:49
Speaker 4: And then he backs it up with their best scores
18:52
Speaker 4: all being out with his career high also ten rebounds.
18:55
Speaker 4: Jaden McDaniels, congratulations, you're our Curent Electric Superhero of the
18:59
Speaker 4: day here today Current dot Com. How about mention some
19:02
Speaker 4: of the great things that we got going on in
19:04
Speaker 4: the month of May. It's actually Arman's favorite month. I
19:06
Speaker 4: don't know if you recognize that he loves himself some
19:09
Speaker 4: May and it's because of the Timberlake thing. I was
19:12
Speaker 4: gonna say that, No, I think it's a good weather month.
19:15
Speaker 4: I think that it's been underrated for years. That's my
19:18
Speaker 4: that's my health here, and the timberlaything doesn't hurt. Yeah,
19:21
Speaker 4: but uh, since that weather is gonna get better, like
19:23
Speaker 4: Arman just said, the warm weather's here, you're.
19:24
Speaker 3: Gonna start spending some more time outside.
19:26
Speaker 4: So quit slacking on the outdoor lighting in your backyard.
19:30
Speaker 4: Turn it into that oasis that you've always dreamed of.
19:33
Speaker 4: You have all your neighbors call in and text in

Speaker 4: and maybe even I don't know, putting you up on
19:38
Speaker 4: a Facebook post saying like, look at this guy, look

20:13
Speaker 4: I mean we get up early. Yeah, good time too
20:15
Speaker 4: to have have Wags on. I mean, now, listen. I
20:17
Speaker 4: don't know if anybody thought that it was dead arm
20:19
Speaker 4: when he was throwing eighty five, because he would have
20:21
Speaker 4: just said that was all. Come on, was topping out
20:23
Speaker 4: at But I'm excited to get his thoughts on one five.
20:27
Speaker 3: Come on, I don't want to be in the batter's box.
20:29
Speaker 3: When Wags he got a baseball in his hand, I
20:30
Speaker 3: was like that much right there.
20:31
Speaker 5: Our buddy Paul Wagner, coach of the Docouns, will join us.
20:34
Speaker 5: We'll talk about the Woodroff thing and the scare that
20:37
Speaker 5: we got yesterday, and that goes on until we get
20:39
Speaker 5: the MRI results and just Brewers in general. Paul Wagner's
20:44
Speaker 5: coming up next, it's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
20:49
Speaker 5: uns in nine, twenty Milwaukee ten seventy Madison and of
20:52
Speaker 5: course streaming all the streams, Facebook, YouTube, and x.
20:55
Speaker 3: Happy to be.
20:56
Speaker 5: Joined on the talking textign by our pell Paul Wagner,
20:59
Speaker 5: pitching coach of the Counts.
21:00
Speaker 3: Friend of the program. Good morning Wags, Thanks for getting
21:02
Speaker 3: up early with us.
21:04
Speaker 6: Oh boys, arm in a you guys, It's all nice
21:06
Speaker 6: to hear. Bottoms up in Brandley, Gilbert.
21:10
Speaker 3: Let's go right.
21:13
Speaker 5: All right, we got plenty to get you with wegs.
21:14
Speaker 5: But first of all, isn't your season approaching? When are
21:17
Speaker 5: the doccounts starting to gather and start to cavort and
21:20
Speaker 5: work out?
21:22
Speaker 6: They are gathering, We are gathering as we speak. Host
21:25
Speaker 6: families are starting to house their athletes. But we actually
21:29
Speaker 6: get started this Sunday. First day of practice is Monday,
21:33
Speaker 6: Opening day May fifteenth, May fifteenth against Gary Gary RailCats.
21:40
Speaker 3: So this is your spring training, two.
21:42
Speaker 6: Weeks training right now? Opening day is May fifteenth. Yes, yes,
21:46
Speaker 6: but guys are starting to get in town. I just
21:48
Speaker 6: got a boatload of phone calls. Major League Baseball, the
21:52
Speaker 6: minor league systems must be cutting down players or adding
21:57
Speaker 6: or something because our new release form just came out
22:00
Speaker 6: out and getting phone calls from different organizations right now,
22:03
Speaker 6: different coordinators, which is kind of nice. We do have, unfortunately,
22:08
Speaker 6: and overabundance of players that are available that still want
22:11
Speaker 6: to play the game of baseball.
22:13
Speaker 4: That's the toughest thing, wags for those calls, right because
22:15
Speaker 4: you know that you can either be the lifeline that
22:19
Speaker 4: helps get back into the big leagues or maybe you
22:22
Speaker 4: know a triple A spot and then you're you're one
22:24
Speaker 4: pitch away, one injury away from getting back in there.
22:26
Speaker 4: But how difficult are some of those conversations or do
22:29
Speaker 4: you leave that up to other guys where it's like, hey,
22:31
Speaker 4: I appreciate where we're at, but this might be this
22:35
Speaker 4: might be it, because this is a that's a delicate conversation.
22:38
Speaker 4: When you were talking about the dream potentially being over
22:40
Speaker 4: for a number of different players, like you just mentioned, it.
22:44
Speaker 6: Really is, it really is, and that's you know, that's
22:46
Speaker 6: the cutting edge of it. Basically. You know, I got
22:49
Speaker 6: a text message last night from a guy that I know.
22:51
Speaker 6: The San Francisco Giants released them on the phone call.
22:53
Speaker 6: The text message came in last night at eleven twenty,
22:56
Speaker 6: so it is tough. It's thirty teams in baseball, thirty
23:00
Speaker 6: minor league systems, thirty organizations don't think you're capable of
23:05
Speaker 6: pitching at the big league levels, and they don't want
23:08
Speaker 6: These guys don't want to go to work. I mean,
23:11
Speaker 6: I don't mean it in a bad way. They don't
23:12
Speaker 6: want to go. They don't They don't want to hang
23:14
Speaker 6: up a jersey and listen to knuckleheads like me and
23:18
Speaker 6: you on the radio. They want to be throwing baseballs.
23:21
Speaker 6: You know, It's like it's a hard thing. And people
23:23
Speaker 6: always say, you know, they yell at them or the
23:25
Speaker 6: independent league is is this and the fans get upset.
23:29
Speaker 6: It's hey, these kids' dreams are to get to the
23:32
Speaker 6: big league. Still nobody else wants them, so to get
23:35
Speaker 6: on them right now, they're doing the last ditch effort,
23:38
Speaker 6: basically to try to fulfill their dream.
23:42
Speaker 3: Talking to Paul.
23:42
Speaker 5: Wagner, pitching coach of the Docoutse, former big leaguer friend
23:45
Speaker 5: of the huddle here on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, all right,
23:48
Speaker 5: Wags got to talk about dead arm. We hear the
23:51
Speaker 5: phrase a lot in spring training, but now we heard
23:53
Speaker 5: it with Brandon Woodruff kind of throwing eighty six and
23:56
Speaker 5: just walking off the mound didn't feel like there was
23:58
Speaker 5: an injury, doesn't feel pain. But no, vlo, what do
24:02
Speaker 5: we read into this, wags? What is your thought when
24:04
Speaker 5: you hear that?
24:06
Speaker 6: I mean, it scares it scares the hell out of me, really,
24:09
Speaker 6: because yeah, dead arm does happen. But then I got
24:13
Speaker 6: to look at it that way. If that's what, if
24:15
Speaker 6: that's there's no pain, maybe that is what it is.
24:19
Speaker 6: He's been rehabbing. He's made twelve starts prior to this year.
24:23
Speaker 6: What did he make twelve starts last year? None of
24:26
Speaker 6: the year before that. So the rehab process and the
24:29
Speaker 6: workload for him has been pretty heavy. So maybe it
24:34
Speaker 6: could be a dead arm situation. But it just scares
24:38
Speaker 6: me with with the track record with him, with the
24:41
Speaker 6: history of shoulders, the Jimmy Nelson stories, the stories that
24:45
Speaker 6: I've heard all through baseball, and we all have shoulders
24:48
Speaker 6: are much different than elbows, and and that's what scares me.
24:52
Speaker 6: You know what, he busted his ass. I mean, he
24:55
Speaker 6: has turned himself from a thrower, a picture a great pitcher,
24:59
Speaker 6: to now a pitcher who doesn't have the great stuff.
25:03
Speaker 6: He really worked hard, so I hope it is a
25:06
Speaker 6: dead arm situation. It scares me though, because man, he's
25:10
Speaker 6: just been through so much and that shoulder has taken
25:13
Speaker 6: a beating both rehab and on the mound for the
25:16
Speaker 6: last three years.
25:17
Speaker 3: How real can you bound or how quickly could could
25:20
Speaker 3: a dead arm be? Though?
25:21
Speaker 4: Like, if indeed that's the case, because you're right, all
25:23
Speaker 4: the answers will come out of the MRI and we'll
25:26
Speaker 4: find out if it's structural or if.
25:28
Speaker 3: It is just that.
25:29
Speaker 4: But weggs, could that be like you're eyelling him and
25:32
Speaker 4: skipping them twice through the rotation? Or because Drew and
25:35
Speaker 4: I were mentioning your spot on twelve starts last year,
25:38
Speaker 4: didn't play all of twenty four, and then eleven starts
25:41
Speaker 4: in twenty three, so you're looking at twenty three starts
25:43
Speaker 4: over the last three years. I was counting if you
25:46
Speaker 4: could get him twenty starts this year, that's a hell
25:49
Speaker 4: of a win. But how long would you have to
25:52
Speaker 4: be waiting for this? Or is it just so depending
25:55
Speaker 4: case by case.
25:55
Speaker 6: Basis case by case it's it's it's just only because
26:00
Speaker 6: of what you just said, that's a that's kind of
26:03
Speaker 6: unheard of. I mean, those type of workloads and that
26:07
Speaker 6: time span is kind of unheard of. So what it
26:10
Speaker 6: is he knows himself better than anybody. The thing that
26:12
Speaker 6: scares me when I said that before, and I hope
26:14
Speaker 6: it isn't dead, is when something when you lose the
26:16
Speaker 6: velocity that quick, something just it's just not there. It's
26:20
Speaker 6: like a it's a non reboundable thing, almost like hey,
26:23
Speaker 6: there's no pain here, but you you lost your kite.
26:27
Speaker 6: You know what, Your buddy came up to you and
26:29
Speaker 6: he snipped it. He snipped the line. The tight's gone,
26:31
Speaker 6: no pain, no gain, But you know what, it's just
26:33
Speaker 6: is what it is right now. And that's the part
26:36
Speaker 6: that kind of scares me. But if anybody can do it,
26:38
Speaker 6: I think Brandon Woodruff can. He's obviously dedicated, he's done
26:42
Speaker 6: everything he can and he won't cheat the Milwaukee Brewers,
26:46
Speaker 6: he won't cheat the fans, and he definitely won't cheat
26:48
Speaker 6: his teammates. So if he can do it and he
26:50
Speaker 6: can come back, give you a timeline, I would say,
26:53
Speaker 6: you got to shut him now for at least two
26:55
Speaker 6: to two to three, maybe even two to four weeks.
26:57
Speaker 3: Oh, talking to.
26:58
Speaker 5: Paul, that's that's kind of what I expected. Not great news,
27:01
Speaker 5: but it could be timed. They didn't overlap directly, but
27:05
Speaker 5: it could be time with priesters return or should be nice.
27:08
Speaker 3: But Wax, there are there are days.
27:11
Speaker 5: There are days when you just don't have it and
27:13
Speaker 5: play hitters talk about this all the time, or and
27:15
Speaker 5: guys talk about how I had a terrible VP and
27:17
Speaker 5: then I went four for four with two homers or
27:19
Speaker 5: pictures to say I sucked in the bullpen, came out
27:21
Speaker 5: and almost through a perfect game. You ride that roller
27:25
Speaker 5: coaster a lot, but to go to have like when
27:28
Speaker 5: you were pitching, like I just don't I'm down a
27:30
Speaker 5: mile per hour or two just a click. He was
27:34
Speaker 5: six miles an hour down and that's like, that's why
27:37
Speaker 5: they took him out. And if there's no pain, given
27:40
Speaker 5: the way wood he the moxie has, you might let
27:42
Speaker 5: him try to get guys out. He was doing it,
27:44
Speaker 5: got through the first right, right, But at what point
27:47
Speaker 5: do you have to say, all right, there's something wrong here.
27:48
Speaker 5: We got to shut this down just as a So
27:51
Speaker 5: it's both precautionary and dangerous in this sense.
27:56
Speaker 6: Like you said, you know he would I think he.
27:58
Speaker 6: I think he punched out the next guys to finish
28:00
Speaker 6: up the first inning and then lead off single in
28:02
Speaker 6: the second. But he can pitch. He can pitch, but
28:06
Speaker 6: there's something there, and you know what it's that is
28:09
Speaker 6: too big of a drop. I mean that's it's not
28:12
Speaker 6: like it's just too much, especially coming off an injury.
28:16
Speaker 6: Misrowski's throwing one hundred and two in the first inning
28:19
Speaker 6: and strikes out per Cruise from the Pirates, and then
28:22
Speaker 6: by the fifth inning he's throwing ninety seven or night
28:25
Speaker 6: let's just say ninety seven ninety six. Right there, there's
28:29
Speaker 6: another there's a big mile an hour difference. But it's
28:32
Speaker 6: a different scenario because of the fact he's healthy, he's strong,
28:36
Speaker 6: he's tired. We knew he went balls to the walls
28:40
Speaker 6: in inning one. This is a situation where we have
28:42
Speaker 6: to monitor Brandon Woodruff, whose velocity has dropped from the
28:46
Speaker 6: previous years. He was a ninety seven, he was a
28:48
Speaker 6: ninety six to ninety eight guy, and now all of
28:51
Speaker 6: a sudden, you're talking eighty fours, eighty four point one.
28:54
Speaker 6: I saw some of the numbers. I don't think he
28:55
Speaker 6: touched eighty six. I don't know what the scoreboard might
28:58
Speaker 6: have said, but somebody else was talking, not our buddy,
29:01
Speaker 6: not our buddy Scalp, but another one was saying that,
29:03
Speaker 6: like he was at eighty four, eighty four to one,
29:05
Speaker 6: eighty four to three. That's not good. That's that's that
29:09
Speaker 6: there's something there. There's something there.
29:11
Speaker 5: That's set off the alarms, all right, Weggs. The i've
29:13
Speaker 5: and flow of the season. We were worried just last
29:16
Speaker 5: week about the Brewers offense, and then suddenly they book
29:18
Speaker 5: in the series with the Diamondbacks by putting up thirteen burgers,
29:23
Speaker 5: and then in the middle game, it's like, oh, they
29:24
Speaker 5: should have saved some of those runs. When it rains,
29:26
Speaker 5: it pours, right, Weggs. I was looking at that from
29:28
Speaker 5: the Diamondbacks standpoint. You come into a series where you
29:31
Speaker 5: think you got a chance, you're trying to get your
29:33
Speaker 5: season on track. They've got some injuries put as a
29:36
Speaker 5: pitching staff. To go out and give up thirteen runs
29:39
Speaker 5: twice in three days and have McCann throwing that thirty
29:42
Speaker 5: mile an hour ephis that's embarrassing.
29:45
Speaker 3: Like, what do you think is going on in the
29:47
Speaker 3: Diamondbacks clubhouse right now?
29:49
Speaker 6: Exactly what we say when the Brewers go on their
29:52
Speaker 6: little when they lost that in the National Series, you
29:54
Speaker 6: know what, it's baseball. The number doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
29:58
Speaker 6: If you give up a three hundred and twenty six
30:00
Speaker 6: foot home run wall scraper right over, it's still one run.
30:04
Speaker 6: If you give up the one that bounces in the
30:06
Speaker 6: bay or drowns in the bay and guys are flipping
30:09
Speaker 6: over and tai act, you know, it's still one run.
30:11
Speaker 6: It's still one run. So hey, a loss is a loss,
30:14
Speaker 6: and every team takes it hard. Everybody doesn't like it.
30:17
Speaker 6: You go into the clubhouse, you take your shower, you
30:20
Speaker 6: come back in the next day. This marathon goes on
30:22
Speaker 6: for one hundred and sixty two games, and that's how
30:25
Speaker 6: you have to do it. Good teams realize that regardless
30:28
Speaker 6: of score, regardless of what it is, if we all
30:31
Speaker 6: stay healthy and we all did our jobs and everything
30:34
Speaker 6: was good, things will turn around and come back. You
30:36
Speaker 6: just turn that one in the rearview mirror and you
30:38
Speaker 6: keep moving forward.
30:39
Speaker 7: Well, I sound the same kind of vein of pitchers
30:41
Speaker 7: and pitchers health and maintaining their health.
30:43
Speaker 3: I'm curious to know your opinion on this.
30:45
Speaker 7: I know we you know, we're entering a new era
30:47
Speaker 7: and how starters are used and things like that, but
30:50
Speaker 7: I saw a stat that really kind of encapsulized it.
30:53
Speaker 7: It was how often MLB starters pitched seven plus innings.
30:57
Speaker 7: And obviously in the eighties it was in like fifty percent,
31:00
Speaker 7: and it's been going down, but it really dropped off
31:02
Speaker 7: the table ten years ago, where you might be thirty
31:05
Speaker 7: some percent, and then now in the last couple of years,
31:07
Speaker 7: it's like nine, ten to eleven percent. It's just such
31:10
Speaker 7: a small number now, and then partly that's by design.
31:12
Speaker 7: Do you think that's good for baseball, bad for baseball,
31:15
Speaker 7: or neither. What are your opinions on that and the
31:18
Speaker 7: way the entire baseball community has changed their attitudes on
31:21
Speaker 7: how long starting pitchers are going.
31:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean real good to look at. As the
31:26
Speaker 6: game evolves, I mean time evolves. People always say to me, gosh,
31:30
Speaker 6: these guys are throwing hard. They throw hard. I'm still
31:33
Speaker 6: seeing guys. I see bullpens down at Miller Park. I
31:36
Speaker 6: see I see bullpens here. I see guys that get released.
31:40
Speaker 6: Guys throw hard. I don't know necessarily, and Drew, you
31:43
Speaker 6: may be able to talk about this. They don't necessarily
31:46
Speaker 6: throw harder. I just think there's so many more guys
31:50
Speaker 6: that throw hard. I mean like if you take a
31:53
Speaker 6: Nolan Ryan fastball, or you take a Rob nn fastball
31:57
Speaker 6: from the day, or you take a Billy Wagner from
31:58
Speaker 6: the left side, those were hard balls. Those balls are
32:02
Speaker 6: still coming out the same blast. The problem is now
32:04
Speaker 6: baseball has multiples. We have instead of having two or
32:07
Speaker 6: three guys on your staff, you have seven, eight, even
32:11
Speaker 6: nine guys on your staff that can touch the upper
32:13
Speaker 6: to mid nineties. And that's the thing. So when the
32:16
Speaker 6: game changes, I think, as a manager or even a
32:19
Speaker 6: baseball person, the best asset a pitcher can have on
32:23
Speaker 6: the mound, the best asset, I don't care what you
32:25
Speaker 6: can say, sliders, knuckleballs, change up. The best asset is
32:30
Speaker 6: a fastball. Nobody can do ve low velocity is huge.
32:34
Speaker 6: So as a manager, he's looking and saying, I can't
32:37
Speaker 6: pitch nine guys every day, so I need someone to
32:41
Speaker 6: lengthen it out a little bit, someone to stretch me three, four,
32:44
Speaker 6: maybe twelve outs, and then I can go to my
32:47
Speaker 6: bullet shooters. And I think that's the way the game
32:49
Speaker 6: is avolved. So I don't have an opinion either way. Obviously,
32:52
Speaker 6: I grew up in the nineties and you know, if
32:54
Speaker 6: I didn't go six, if I didn't do six and three,
32:56
Speaker 6: and it was considered the quality start, Jim Leland put
32:59
Speaker 6: a cigarette but right on my toe, you know. So
33:01
Speaker 6: it's like, you know I had to do that, you know,
33:05
Speaker 6: if I couldn't go six, or I couldn't give him
33:07
Speaker 6: at least into the fifth. You know, I was back
33:09
Speaker 6: in Buffalo. So it has changed. But I think what
33:13
Speaker 6: happens is or what happened was, there's so many power
33:17
Speaker 6: arms out there and for a hit or to adjust
33:20
Speaker 6: so quickly, he can't do it. So the numbers say, hey,
33:23
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you what. I'm gonna blow ninety seven
33:25
Speaker 6: by the first three guys, and when you try to
33:27
Speaker 6: catch up to me, the next guy's gonna come in
33:29
Speaker 6: and blow ninety nine.
33:30
Speaker 3: Mike Trout was just talking about that in the course
33:32
Speaker 3: of his career.
33:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, like there are so many more guys now, and
33:35
Speaker 5: I look at a guy wags like Ashby and his stuff,
33:39
Speaker 5: it's like back in the day, he's like a starter
33:43
Speaker 5: in your rotation or maybe a closer, and to have
33:45
Speaker 5: that kind of remarkable, like, holy Kyle, look at that,
33:49
Speaker 5: look at his stuff, and now he's kind of one
33:52
Speaker 5: of those guys in the middle of the game that
33:53
Speaker 5: sucks up you know, seven to nine outs for you
33:57
Speaker 5: that that's that's wild that that role has evolved like that.
34:00
Speaker 5: But he's filthy, Like where would he have ranked in
34:02
Speaker 5: terms of stuff, you know, thirty years ago.
34:06
Speaker 6: Oh, he's got great stuff. I mean, I think the Brewers,
34:09
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I think the Brewers locked him up
34:11
Speaker 6: like for like I seem like a.
34:14
Speaker 4: Like a kind of like a Freddie kind of like
34:16
Speaker 4: a Freddie deal. I think it was like five years
34:17
Speaker 4: at like twenty million or something like that.
34:19
Speaker 6: Yep, yeah, yeah, because he's got great stuff. He's very
34:23
Speaker 6: versatile and you know, people say the Swiss army knife.
34:26
Speaker 6: I mean it's so cliche, but he can do something
34:28
Speaker 6: and he can do a spot start, he can come
34:30
Speaker 6: in and pick up, he can get the lefty out,
34:33
Speaker 6: you know. With Zurpa going down, I think his rule
34:35
Speaker 6: may change. Yeah, we have another left in the pen,
34:37
Speaker 6: but with d L and the but I like, I
34:40
Speaker 6: like the versatility he can do. And I think Pat
34:43
Speaker 6: Murphy and I believe the staff is relying on him
34:45
Speaker 6: because they know he can do anything. And you're right,
34:48
Speaker 6: Filthy is a great what we said all the time
34:50
Speaker 6: is filthy or its dirty? He's got dirty, filthy stuff.
34:54
Speaker 4: Are we close to the end, though, eggs like as
34:56
Speaker 4: the what the human body is able to do? Drew
34:58
Speaker 4: and I were talking about it, like I don't know
35:00
Speaker 4: how much faster you can throw a baseball, Like I
35:02
Speaker 4: don't know how much more ridiculous spin you can put
35:05
Speaker 4: on a baseball. But seeming a year and a year out,
35:08
Speaker 4: there's more guys throwing a hundred, and there's more guys
35:10
Speaker 4: with this ridiculous sideways break that pitching Ninja keeps putting
35:14
Speaker 4: up here. Are you guys just continually cooking this up
35:16
Speaker 4: in more pitching labs or are we reaching like close
35:19
Speaker 4: to the end of what the human body actually is
35:21
Speaker 4: going to be able to do on a right or
35:22
Speaker 4: left arm.
35:24
Speaker 6: I gotta believe it's close to the end. The thing
35:27
Speaker 6: that I think is doing, though, is that it's it's like,
35:31
Speaker 6: you know, I don't know, it's like pretty soon. I
35:35
Speaker 6: think what you're doing is you're shortening just in my opinion,
35:38
Speaker 6: and there's no statching open, but I think you're shortening the
35:41
Speaker 6: life of the picture. And I think organizations are understanding
35:46
Speaker 6: that the life of the picture can't continue at one
35:50
Speaker 6: hundred miles an hour or ninety seven miles an hour
35:53
Speaker 6: for over a long period of time. So if I
35:55
Speaker 6: sign you, if I signed Billa Schmid too out of college,
35:59
Speaker 6: I signed you for seven million dollars signing bonus, you're
36:01
Speaker 6: above slot. I got money invested in you. You come
36:04
Speaker 6: out of the University of Clemson. I got to get
36:07
Speaker 6: you to the big leagues because I don't know how
36:09
Speaker 6: many bullets are in that ninety seven ninety eight mile
36:13
Speaker 6: an hour gun. So I'm gonna use you right away
36:16
Speaker 6: Miserroski example. I mean again, don't take this the wrong way.
36:19
Speaker 6: How many one hundred and two mile hour fastballs does
36:22
Speaker 6: he have? He's twenty three years old, I believe is
36:25
Speaker 6: he going to pitch? Is he gonna be throwing one
36:27
Speaker 6: hundred and two at thirty? Absolutely not. So I've got
36:31
Speaker 6: to maximize what I have and take advantage of it
36:34
Speaker 6: right now. So to answer your question, I don't think
36:36
Speaker 6: they're gonna go much harder, But I just don't think
36:39
Speaker 6: the longevity of the pitchers are going to be there
36:41
Speaker 6: like they were in the past.
36:42
Speaker 3: No interesting philosophy has a change.
36:44
Speaker 5: We were talking about that with the marathon. Dude ran
36:46
Speaker 5: a marathon in two hours is the Yeah, you.
36:50
Speaker 3: Know, I always I think about like.
36:51
Speaker 5: One wild record winning and it was what sixty years
36:56
Speaker 5: seventy years ago, when was the Roger Banister thing. Yeah,
36:58
Speaker 5: like seventy years ago, no one thought you could crack
37:01
Speaker 5: a four minute mile, and now the guy ran a
37:03
Speaker 5: marathon a four minute miles.
37:05
Speaker 3: Nuts.
37:06
Speaker 7: I remember all my buddies, Ben Sheets is reaching ninety
37:09
Speaker 7: six guys like this is crazy, Like, you know, the
37:12
Speaker 7: idea that guys could throw a hundred was otherworldly and
37:16
Speaker 7: the mid nineties was the best.
37:18
Speaker 5: And now Mason Miller looks like he has the most
37:20
Speaker 5: unhittable stuff in the history of pitching.
37:23
Speaker 6: Exactly said something, you said something earlier, Hey guy has
37:27
Speaker 6: an off day, or they're they're in a bad funk
37:29
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. You know, a bad week. I
37:31
Speaker 6: was gonna say, yeah, yeah, too bad Wagoner had a
37:34
Speaker 6: bad career for ten years. You know, everybody was waiting
37:39
Speaker 6: for me. Paul just got dead arm. Don't worry about it.
37:42
Speaker 6: After ten years. It's gonna come back.
37:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, dead out of our live arm.
37:45
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it in that I'm not staying it
37:47
Speaker 3: in that manners box. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
37:49
Speaker 7: And Paul Skes throws a hunderd like it's Sunday, Like
37:52
Speaker 7: it's Sunday toss. You know, Just.
37:54
Speaker 5: Wags, just do what Rock says, show him, show him
37:57
Speaker 5: the back of your card and just say what did
37:58
Speaker 5: you make your routs or where did you give up
38:00
Speaker 5: your hits and homers?
38:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true, that's true.
38:05
Speaker 3: Good stuff, good stuff. Wags, have a great weekend, have
38:07
Speaker 3: fun with the dochounds. We'll catch up with you next week.
38:11
Speaker 5: All right, all right, Paul Wagner, friend of the program,
38:14
Speaker 5: talking pitching with the.
38:16
Speaker 3: Dude who knows pitching. Well, it really does.
38:18
Speaker 4: And I think my favorite part is Drew Wags will
38:22
Speaker 4: uh kind of oh shocks and be like, oh, I
38:24
Speaker 4: don't know about that. But when you really, when you
38:26
Speaker 4: get him in on like the hardcore pitching things, he
38:29
Speaker 4: is as data driven and numbers.
38:33
Speaker 3: Quick as you've been have all location.
38:37
Speaker 4: It's it's remarkable how different, that different that that craft
38:41
Speaker 4: has continued to become.
38:42
Speaker 3: Instead of oh let's just right right, yeah, not just
38:45
Speaker 3: let it go a little earlier. It's a lot a
38:47
Speaker 3: lot different than the coach years ago. Drop your shoulder
38:51
Speaker 3: a little bit.
38:52
Speaker 5: Okay, there's a whole lot of physics involved, man, a
38:55
Speaker 5: whole lot of physics. But release point where the shoulder
38:58
Speaker 5: is the front shoulder and like the hip and the
39:00
Speaker 5: it's amazing and the back.
39:02
Speaker 3: Leg and load leg and all that stuff.
39:04
Speaker 4: When Wagg's is talking about it with these guys, they're
39:05
Speaker 4: right at the end of their potential careers. Or they
39:09
Speaker 4: can be like the great kickstart that jump starts your
39:12
Speaker 4: your battery and all of a sudden you run it
39:14
Speaker 4: for another four or five years and you rank it
39:16
Speaker 4: right back to the big leagues. That's a really really
39:17
Speaker 4: cool spot in people's careers that they're able to help.
39:19
Speaker 5: Give me more and more guys coming out of that
39:21
Speaker 5: league like pulling a John Oxford coming out of independent
39:24
Speaker 5: ball in this gump coming on and like boom, all start.
39:26
Speaker 4: Because the fewer and fewer minor league teams that they
39:28
Speaker 4: continually have, the more and more opportunities there's going to be.
39:31
Speaker 5: That's absolutely right, all right, I think we've touched a
39:34
Speaker 5: lot of bases here today, but we have one more
39:37
Speaker 5: thing to do. That's the wake and bake story of

40:59
Speaker 4: eight The Sports Hub Guy, a big Boston guy report
41:02
Speaker 4: does reports on NBC Sports Boston, so Celtics Fan, Ohio
41:06
Speaker 4: State fan, all those things. Posted a picture last night,
41:09
Speaker 4: a screen grab of his television of a seventy six
41:14
Speaker 4: Ers fan sitting courtside with some sunglasses on, some sweet
41:18
Speaker 4: looking shades, one with a regular sunglass lens in it,
41:23
Speaker 4: the other one with like an opaque white celebratory thing
41:26
Speaker 4: or whatever. He's got seventy six ers jersey on, he's
41:29
Speaker 4: got the jacket on, he's got a sweet chain on,
41:32
Speaker 4: and Albert Breard just says, what's going on here?
41:36
Speaker 3: What's happening here?
41:37
Speaker 4: What is this guy doing dressed like this at some
41:40
Speaker 4: kind of seventy six ers game with some kind of
41:43
Speaker 4: mismatched sunglasses on in the middle of it. Well, at
41:47
Speaker 4: seventy six or sixth man tweeted Adam, Hey, Albert Breer,
41:50
Speaker 4: nice to meet you. I'm a fifty year season Sixers
41:54
Speaker 4: seat holder and a die hard fan. Had eye surgery
41:57
Speaker 4: last week, so I'm forced to wear glasses.
42:00
Speaker 3: Sorry you didn't like my drip.
42:03
Speaker 4: In the midst of that moment, the man continued, one
42:06
Speaker 4: more thing, Albert Brer, this is an article that might
42:08
Speaker 4: give you a little bit more insight on who I
42:10
Speaker 4: am and what I'm about trying to do great things.
42:12
Speaker 4: Art community hashtag sixth Man. Well, the man that Breer
42:16
Speaker 4: started making fun of was a successful man, Alan Horwitz,
42:21
Speaker 4: who is about as close to a legend in the
42:24
Speaker 4: city of Philadelphia as you possibly could be. Oh when
42:28
Speaker 4: he helped fund the thirty eight million dollars state of
42:32
Speaker 4: the art Philly Youth Basketball Facility. Oh thanks to the
42:37
Speaker 4: eighty year old man, the prank pulling courtside sitting cult figure.
42:42
Speaker 4: And there's no time in one time he ended up
42:44
Speaker 4: even getting thrown out of an NBA game but des
42:47
Speaker 4: eyeing the team huddle during a timeout and got himself
42:50
Speaker 4: a little too close. The jersey read sixth Man, and
