1:50
Speaker 6: The young shortstop arrives with a great deal of expectations
1:53
Speaker 6: this evening. Lots of folks were ready got to fix
1:57
Speaker 6: the left side of the infield.
1:58
Speaker 1: I'm on.
1:58
Speaker 3: Now, Well, here comes the kid.
2:00
Speaker 5: Hold some people accountable, Drew, and let's get somebody else
2:02
Speaker 5: out the kid. Yeah, absolutely, here comes the kid to
2:06
Speaker 5: save the day. And what's going to happen? What's the transaction?
2:10
Speaker 5: I don't know, renhefo got ding done.
2:12
Speaker 3: Sunday. Yeah, and I guess the only thing that I
2:15
Speaker 3: could put.
2:15
Speaker 5: One of the things that I pulled from a Hunter's
2:17
Speaker 5: interview in the first hour during the five o'clock Club
2:20
Speaker 5: was that maybe they are going to put this under
2:23
Speaker 5: an injury deal for renh HEEFO. I kind of figured
2:26
Speaker 5: it was going to be just a thanks but no thanks,
2:28
Speaker 5: maybe a parting of ways, but maybe there's a why
2:31
Speaker 5: don't you take a month? No, I'd just take it,
2:33
Speaker 5: take a couple of weeks and try to get the
2:36
Speaker 5: hat on straight, go down for a rehab assignment, and
2:38
Speaker 5: see if you can grab a little lightning in the
2:40
Speaker 5: bottle for the final two months. But it seems more
2:42
Speaker 5: like that than just a straight DFA or cash considerations
2:45
Speaker 5: coming back.
2:46
Speaker 6: And the thing is with Cooper Pratt again, we're talking
2:48
Speaker 6: about what debuts got you excited. I'm old enough to
2:51
Speaker 6: remember a kid who has drawn comparisons, though he's not
2:54
Speaker 6: quite as tall, but he's rangy, toolsy, athletic, JJ Hardy.
3:00
Speaker 6: One J J Hardy arrived and started playing. He came
3:04
Speaker 6: up and he was brutal bad first year. No, he
3:08
Speaker 6: was he was first he was brutal and ned Jos
3:12
Speaker 6: wrote it and ned Jos like he's gonna be fine,
3:15
Speaker 6: says got ugly, ugly at bats he looked overmatched and
3:19
Speaker 6: the drums were beating send him down, he's killing you,
3:22
Speaker 6: Like what are you doing? And ned Jo's like, he
3:24
Speaker 6: can play, He's gonna be fine. Let him find his way,
3:28
Speaker 6: and they stayed with him and ended up being okay.
3:31
Speaker 6: He ended up being a pretty good player, Shorts up
3:33
Speaker 6: because there were times when he struggling defensively as well.
3:36
Speaker 6: You bring him up for defense, and you know the
3:39
Speaker 6: offense was it was it was ugly, like he had
3:42
Speaker 6: an ugly I almost six weeks and.
3:45
Speaker 4: Then he started to show turns a little bit. That
3:47
Speaker 4: started started to find it was like Mendoza type stuff.
3:49
Speaker 4: But it was like, all right, he was and the
3:51
Speaker 4: and they had they had pretty good team that first year,
3:54
Speaker 4: but he was like the main hole. He was like
3:55
Speaker 4: the one people were talking about Ortiz all the time.
3:57
Speaker 4: It's like we could just get the offense from that position.
3:59
Speaker 4: We could rolling. But the kind of the thing about
4:02
Speaker 4: that was there was this excitement about the prospect wave
4:06
Speaker 4: coming up. Tell me if I'm wrong, Drew of Ricky
4:10
Speaker 4: Prince him, Corey Hart and then eventually brun and he
4:13
Speaker 4: was the first one to come up and get regular
4:14
Speaker 4: playing time. And he came up and I was like,
4:17
Speaker 4: this is our king, Like I was a little.
4:19
Speaker 3: This is the one that we were promised.
4:21
Speaker 1: I rolled up on.
4:22
Speaker 4: Marquet Radio on my my radio show on the old
4:25
Speaker 4: LA Crossfire.
4:26
Speaker 1: I don't know it was my show or I.
4:28
Speaker 3: Loved it was your show.
4:30
Speaker 1: We've been hearing about.
4:31
Speaker 3: Any show that you are on is yours.
4:33
Speaker 1: And I said, this is the guy we've been hearing about.
4:35
Speaker 4: Like I was not happy about it, but you know,
4:38
Speaker 4: I because Ricky first time.
4:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Ricky comes up for like the ceremonial few
4:43
Speaker 5: games right when when he first gets drafted, and then
4:46
Speaker 5: so and then in two thousand and five was when
4:48
Speaker 5: the influx of players started rolling through the Prince. One
4:52
Speaker 5: for me, as a pair of shaped youth was one
4:54
Speaker 5: that I again, well we'll hold in high regard. But
4:56
Speaker 5: another one that started on the road. I think they're
4:59
Speaker 5: in what like Tampa something like that. So he came
5:01
Speaker 5: in for they were running through some inter league plays,
5:03
Speaker 5: so he was gonna be the DH for a number
5:05
Speaker 5: of different games. But then the week after is when
5:08
Speaker 5: they played the Minnesota Twins at Miller Park and he
5:11
Speaker 5: hits the him and Ricky hit the home runs on Saturday.
5:13
Speaker 5: But again, that was a week in excited to be
5:16
Speaker 5: able to see him just because wait, there's a big
5:19
Speaker 5: do that's gonna be playing first base and just mash
5:21
Speaker 5: homers and he's got some lineage.
5:23
Speaker 3: That was a big one for me at ten.
5:24
Speaker 1: That was the thing. We knew their first rounders.
5:26
Speaker 4: We knew what they were doing in minor league, and
5:28
Speaker 4: for Ricky was he was setting records in college and
5:31
Speaker 4: we knew Princeville Cecil's kid, and you're like, this is exciting.
5:34
Speaker 4: We got this guy, we had this name, this lineage.
5:37
Speaker 4: They've been playing well and then they come up in
5:39
Speaker 4: that Twins game. They both I don't know if it
5:41
Speaker 4: was their first start together or whatever it was, they
5:43
Speaker 4: both hit homers. That was like the coming out party.
5:46
Speaker 4: That was like, that was the one that I remember.
5:48
Speaker 4: It wasn't necessarily call up day, but it was there,
5:51
Speaker 4: but they're coming out. Yeah, they put their stamp on
5:53
Speaker 4: their entrance, you know.
5:54
Speaker 6: They both hit homers against the Twins, and it was like, oh,
5:57
Speaker 6: this is the future has here.
5:58
Speaker 3: Finally we've been hearing about the guys forever and now
6:01
Speaker 3: they're here.
6:01
Speaker 6: But in the first half of his first season in
6:03
Speaker 6: the big leagues, JJ Hardy said, yeah, this was it
6:06
Speaker 6: flashed uh one eight seven, yikes, two ninety three, it
6:11
Speaker 6: was sixty seven.
6:13
Speaker 1: And they were patient.
6:14
Speaker 5: When the on base is higher than the slug there,
6:16
Speaker 5: that's why we gonna have, you know.
6:19
Speaker 4: I remember thinking like, all right, maybe this is a
6:21
Speaker 4: defensive guy like he might. We were still in that
6:23
Speaker 4: arrow where you didn't have to necessarily blow it out
6:25
Speaker 4: as a shortstop offensively, and you're like, maybe this is
6:28
Speaker 4: a defensive guy and he's not the bat, he's the glove.
6:31
Speaker 1: And all that.
6:31
Speaker 5: Everyone's going to hit three hundred now. I just in
6:34
Speaker 5: the second half of his first season he turned it around. Yeah,
6:38
Speaker 5: he slashed three oh eight, three sixty three, five oh three.
6:41
Speaker 1: And then you start to see signs.
6:42
Speaker 6: But the first couple of months, we're brutal. And they
6:45
Speaker 6: wrote it with him. They said, he's our shorts up.
6:46
Speaker 6: He's gonna be fine. Ned Ned was like, he is
6:49
Speaker 6: going to be fine.
6:49
Speaker 1: Now.
6:49
Speaker 6: The one thing about JJ is he didn't strike out
6:51
Speaker 6: a lot. That's a good point, so it wasn't as
6:54
Speaker 6: heinous as it. He just looked like he was using
6:56
Speaker 6: a nerf bat. It was like he wasn't making a
6:58
Speaker 6: lot a yellow, wasn't making a lot of solid contad
7:02
Speaker 6: he was a lot of ground. He hit one homer
7:04
Speaker 6: in the first half of his first season and eight
7:06
Speaker 6: in the second half.
7:07
Speaker 4: He kind of ran like, I don't know how you
7:10
Speaker 4: describe it. He ran like Rumpel still skin like. He
7:12
Speaker 4: kind of ran like what you wouldn't call him a
7:14
Speaker 4: speed star. He kind of had been an awkward way
7:16
Speaker 4: to run, and it was like, okay, what is this.
7:18
Speaker 3: Pretty good speed?
7:19
Speaker 5: As I recall, he did really find some power too.
7:21
Speaker 5: There after a number of.
7:22
Speaker 6: Years, all of a sudden, well, yeah, he was an
7:26
Speaker 6: athlete and now he was six one, and people are
7:28
Speaker 6: like he's tall, and Cooper Pratt's tall.
7:29
Speaker 3: Cooper Prats like six five, you a big son of
7:32
Speaker 3: a gun.
7:33
Speaker 6: Pratt looks like people ripkin and a rod and those
7:36
Speaker 6: guys are the era of the big shortstops.
7:38
Speaker 3: It was ripkin a rod.
7:39
Speaker 6: No ma like there was a big shortstop era in
7:42
Speaker 6: the night late nineties, in two thousands, so uh, shout
7:45
Speaker 6: out to Cooper Pratt, Who's going to get the call?
7:47
Speaker 6: And JJ like again they stayed with him through thick
7:51
Speaker 6: and thin, and they were building towards something and lo
7:54
Speaker 6: and behold. In two thousand and eight, he was a
7:55
Speaker 6: key guy on the team of you know, with a
7:57
Speaker 6: bunch of his contemporaries, the guys that he played Halo
7:59
Speaker 6: with deep into the night in the last league.
8:01
Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden and again sometimes you
8:05
Speaker 5: pull somebody and you subtract him, that it's gonna be
8:08
Speaker 5: a massive loss. Then when they broke him off and
8:11
Speaker 5: you get Carlos Gomez, he was obviously a key part
8:14
Speaker 5: of their team's rolling forward. The interesting thing for Pratt
8:17
Speaker 5: to see, and they're clearly gonna stick with them.
8:20
Speaker 3: There's a fifty.
8:22
Speaker 5: Plus million reasons why they give him the backing and
8:26
Speaker 5: the excitement. But I wonder how much drew this will
8:30
Speaker 5: that they have to discuss this, and that there's a
8:34
Speaker 5: true balancing act here of trying to win now while
8:38
Speaker 5: building for the future and continuing to have some player development.
8:41
Speaker 5: Like when it works, it's a lot easier, But there
8:44
Speaker 5: were some times there for even Jackson Curio in that
8:46
Speaker 5: first what month and a half where Murv talked about
8:49
Speaker 5: it at length.
8:50
Speaker 3: I don't know how much longer we're gonna be able
8:51
Speaker 3: to do this.
8:52
Speaker 5: I don't know how much longer we're gonna be able
8:54
Speaker 5: to do this, And then lo and behold he has
8:56
Speaker 5: the first twenty twenty season for a twenty year old.
8:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, in major league history.
9:00
Speaker 5: It's got to be a fine line, and it can't
9:02
Speaker 5: be the easiest one to walk, especially for the on
9:05
Speaker 5: field managers who, for sure, you want the guys to develop,
9:10
Speaker 5: you want them to get better, you want to be patient,
9:12
Speaker 5: work through all these things, and Murph seeing more baseball
9:15
Speaker 5: than anybody else. But there is a point where you're
9:17
Speaker 5: sitting there in the dugout in the middle of the
9:19
Speaker 5: fifth inning saying, hey, I am trying to win this
9:21
Speaker 5: game in the next three and we're gonna have to,
9:24
Speaker 5: uh try to find somebody else that's gonna help. I
9:26
Speaker 5: think about it a lot with Luis Orias a couple
9:29
Speaker 5: of years ago. They were doing everything they could to
9:32
Speaker 5: hand him the shortstop position. They're like, dude, just take
9:35
Speaker 5: it right here on a silver platter. Here it is.
9:38
Speaker 5: And he booted a couple of balls. And there was
9:41
Speaker 5: a time elsewhere may and Couts goes to the Pody goes, Yeah, if.
9:45
Speaker 3: We're gonna be playing playoff baseball. We just can't do that.
9:48
Speaker 1: We can't do that.
9:48
Speaker 5: Two days later they had Willia Domis, So like, there
9:51
Speaker 5: is a we are going to develop the young player.
9:53
Speaker 5: We're gonna do everything you can at the big league
9:55
Speaker 5: level to make sure you have some success. But we
9:58
Speaker 5: are gonna need to have some success because we're trying
10:01
Speaker 5: to win right now, which we've been doing it at
10:02
Speaker 5: a really good class.
10:03
Speaker 1: That's the thing.
10:03
Speaker 4: We're trying to win it. We're not in rebuilding mode.
10:05
Speaker 4: And before Arius, to me, it was Orlando Arcia. That
10:08
Speaker 4: was another one where it's like Orlando Arcia is next,
10:11
Speaker 4: He's the next short stop. He's a prodigy, and we
10:13
Speaker 4: were excited for him. Had a decent rookie year, but
10:15
Speaker 4: after that, I'm sorry. He just wasn't a good ballplayer
10:18
Speaker 4: after that, Like he couldn't hit the ball consistently enough,
10:20
Speaker 4: and his defense kept sinking and sinking where he kept
10:23
Speaker 4: making plays that he should make.
10:25
Speaker 1: Now, he had good moments.
10:27
Speaker 4: Game one sixty three had four hits and and he
10:29
Speaker 4: had some contributions, but it just sometimes doesn't turn out
10:32
Speaker 4: that way, even when you do anticipate a big call up,
10:35
Speaker 4: even if you do have a great the great rookie year.
10:37
Speaker 4: So and it kind of brings me to my first well,
10:39
Speaker 4: if I could use this as an entrance to our
10:42
Speaker 4: by our cell Tuesday, guys, it brings me to one
10:46
Speaker 4: of my first thoughts when we talk about these prospects
10:49
Speaker 4: and the Brewers and the excitement of them coming up,
10:51
Speaker 4: is this is the most the best team ever like
10:55
Speaker 4: performance wise, that most that so much of the conversation
10:59
Speaker 4: from fans and has been about the prospects. But it's
11:02
Speaker 4: not like this team is bad and rebuilding and that's
11:04
Speaker 4: all I hope you have look forward to. The Brewers
11:05
Speaker 4: are currently one of the best teams in baseball and
11:08
Speaker 4: are a wagon that have been rolling through the National League.
11:11
Speaker 4: Yet the the emergence of these young prospects that we
11:15
Speaker 4: have now and the ones coming up usually dominate our conversation,
11:19
Speaker 4: which is not a bad thing. It's actually a great thing, right.
11:21
Speaker 4: It means the Packers, Packers. It means the Brewers have,
11:25
Speaker 4: you know, this depth of talent, this depth of organizational
11:28
Speaker 4: ability and options to keep reloading and reloading and rebuilding.
11:32
Speaker 4: But I just think it's funny that of all the
11:35
Speaker 4: of all the teams we talk about so much about prospects.
11:38
Speaker 4: This has got to be the one that's doing the
11:40
Speaker 4: best on the field because they're in first place, and
11:42
Speaker 4: it's almost like it's boring for us.
11:43
Speaker 1: Let's talk about these guys coming up?
11:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, well, and are we appreciating Churio enough?
11:48
Speaker 6: I said this about Yan to emerge as a star,
11:51
Speaker 6: It's like, you got to watch this guy? And it
11:53
Speaker 6: was It almost felt to me like the there there's
11:56
Speaker 6: the national, the NBA hoop heads, the geeks, right, the hardcore,
12:01
Speaker 6: the Bill Simmons, Mafi. They were on Giannis early early guy,
12:05
Speaker 6: I gotta watch this guy?
12:06
Speaker 3: Are you watching this guy?
12:08
Speaker 6: And I feel like it took Milwaukee a while to
12:10
Speaker 6: kind of like, oh, yeah, he's here, He's he's arriving.
12:13
Speaker 3: This is it.
12:14
Speaker 5: It was more the off field stuff for Jannis to
12:16
Speaker 5: be on the court stop. I feel like Churio is
12:19
Speaker 5: like are we paying enough attention? Like his June thirteen
12:22
Speaker 5: games in June seven homers, eighteen, RBI, slashing, four fourteen fourth,
12:26
Speaker 5: four point fifty three and eight forty five, Like that's
12:30
Speaker 5: pretty damn he's got a two war already.
12:32
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and he's he missed a month.
12:34
Speaker 5: He missed a month he missed a month last year
12:36
Speaker 5: when they win the what the fourteen in a row.
12:39
Speaker 3: He was on the I l for some of it,
12:41
Speaker 3: and I think that maybe.
12:42
Speaker 5: Is where some of it almost gets forgotten or dismissed.
12:46
Speaker 5: But drew what he does in the playoffs in his playoffs, right,
12:49
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, is disgusting so far, Bill Yeah.
12:52
Speaker 6: And they were saying on the on the MLB network,
12:55
Speaker 6: I say, like, he's a top ten hitter by stats,
12:57
Speaker 6: and so he's a top ten hitter in the league.
12:59
Speaker 6: The rose is all over, like he's a top ten
13:01
Speaker 6: hitter in the league. Like you were not paying attention.
13:03
Speaker 5: I gotta say, Also, if you're not paying attention to
13:05
Speaker 5: Mark Eurosi's breakdowns of hitters, Oh, he's terrific, you're missing
13:09
Speaker 5: somebody that Vinnie Ratino, I think loves baseball more than
13:12
Speaker 5: any human being I've ever seen. Right, Like you you
13:14
Speaker 5: watch you see Vinny Rotino and he starts breaking down
13:17
Speaker 5: guys in the high school ranks and the prep ranks.
13:19
Speaker 3: You're like, this guy just loves the art of baseball.
13:22
Speaker 1: Uh.
13:22
Speaker 5: Mark DeRosa loves the art of hitting, and you he
13:25
Speaker 5: They're lucky that they sometimes only show him from the
13:27
Speaker 5: waist up during some of those breakdowns because he is
13:30
Speaker 5: so juice pause right here, look at this rotation. This
13:36
Speaker 5: too good, the fast, great analyst.
13:39
Speaker 4: I don't know.
13:40
Speaker 3: He's a great manager in the WBC.
13:42
Speaker 1: That is very true. That is very true.
13:44
Speaker 5: I'll keep him on MLB Central before I want him
13:47
Speaker 5: backing the dugout in three and a half years.
13:49
Speaker 3: He's terrific.
13:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree, and so yeah in that class, I
13:52
Speaker 6: put uh, I put Rotino Dillard.
13:55
Speaker 3: Timmy Dillard is absolutely in there. Yes, love this game.
13:59
Speaker 5: You can you can tell how much Tim loves it too,
14:02
Speaker 5: because he sees everything through the pitcher eye and then
14:05
Speaker 5: like in the midst of somebody offensively having a great dass.
14:08
Speaker 3: It's a tough spot to be on the mound.
14:11
Speaker 1: This is a tough one to be on the mountain.
14:12
Speaker 5: You could see him gritting his teeth for those games
14:15
Speaker 5: in Las Vegas while I'm glad I don't have bants
14:17
Speaker 5: on here.
14:18
Speaker 1: Man.
14:18
Speaker 3: All right, So, Cooper Pratt day in the good Land.
14:21
Speaker 6: What debut were you recently or just historically excited about.
14:26
Speaker 6: Who's arrival on the scene. Were you excited about and
14:30
Speaker 6: from the six to eight Tony Manderich, I was just
14:33
Speaker 6: gonna say, can we get to the bad ones?
14:39
Speaker 1: Well, because I got it.
14:39
Speaker 5: I got a couple of uh not baseball ones and
14:42
Speaker 5: one that is rather embarrassing. But I was through the
14:47
Speaker 5: moon and could not wait for the debut of a
14:51
Speaker 5: Milwaukee Buck free agent signing named Drew Gooden.
14:54
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that.
14:56
Speaker 3: Was in the early high school for for me.
14:59
Speaker 5: I even shaved in on the buzz cut that your
15:02
Speaker 5: boy had the very small little Drew Gooden patch at
15:04
Speaker 5: one point in the back of the head. Oh come on,
15:07
Speaker 5: we had a five years, thirty one million dollars that
15:09
Speaker 5: you're signing for Drew Gooden. This guy is coming in
15:11
Speaker 5: easy fourteen and ten and night easy fourteen and ten
15:15
Speaker 5: a night. Yeah, he's going to continue to elevate you.
15:17
Speaker 5: Big drizzle was gonna take this thing to the next level,
15:21
Speaker 5: and good and plenty just didn't do it.
15:22
Speaker 3: He was He was great locker room presence though.
15:25
Speaker 6: He used to broadcast from media day at the old
15:27
Speaker 6: Cousins Center and we had him on and it was
15:30
Speaker 6: me today and it was like his first training camp
15:32
Speaker 6: with the Bucks.
15:33
Speaker 3: And we're just like, all right, so what made you
15:35
Speaker 3: choose my walk? He's like, I'm not gonna lie, it
15:36
Speaker 3: was more money than.
15:37
Speaker 1: It was more money than everybody else.
15:38
Speaker 3: Was not my favorite player.
15:40
Speaker 6: He didn't say anything about the fit and the culture
15:43
Speaker 6: and the city and want to bring a championship.
15:44
Speaker 3: He's like, I mightna lie, it was more with the
15:46
Speaker 3: offered me more money. It gave me way more money
15:48
Speaker 3: than everybody else.
15:50
Speaker 1: I can't believe you put this. You shaved your head with.
15:52
Speaker 3: The one percent one hundred percent.
15:55
Speaker 5: This is also coming off two thousand and nine twenty ten,
15:58
Speaker 5: where you are in I lash away from winning your
16:01
Speaker 5: first playoff series since two thousand and one, and all
16:04
Speaker 5: you need is somebody to hit an eighteen foot jumper
16:07
Speaker 5: that has some kind decide like.
16:10
Speaker 4: This is the missing piece with an inside guy. Guys,
16:12
Speaker 4: then there were a lot of more missing pieces that
16:14
Speaker 4: you realize.
16:15
Speaker 5: More and being able to you know, stack success. As
16:18
Speaker 5: coach Mike McCarthy would say, what you had in your
16:20
Speaker 5: first year the bolt than we thought. But I'll tell
16:23
Speaker 5: you this, and if there's a lot of players that
16:25
Speaker 5: this fits into, right, our friend Brian Butch, if he came,
16:28
Speaker 5: if he came two decades later, oh sure, but but
16:32
Speaker 5: you he's an easy one hundred plus million dollars That's
16:35
Speaker 5: what I always tell him. Drew Gooden, if allowed to
16:38
Speaker 5: shoot threes, would have been a different player, would have
16:41
Speaker 5: been a markedly different player if he came back fifteen
16:45
Speaker 5: years later, because my man would fill it up from
16:48
Speaker 5: behind the arc. I don't know that he ever attempted
16:50
Speaker 5: more than one a game for a season that to me,
16:54
Speaker 5: good and plenty still could could fill it up.
16:56
Speaker 3: And now he gets to put a headset on.
16:58
Speaker 5: And for the folks that do paying themselves and watch
17:01
Speaker 5: Washington Wizards games, they get to hear Drew Gooden on
17:04
Speaker 5: the call, which is a pretty good good treat to
17:06
Speaker 5: have because your basketball team is awful. That was That's
17:09
Speaker 5: a tough one to call back to. But very proud
17:11
Speaker 5: for that. I would say that about my new powle
17:12
Speaker 5: go watch the highlights. Also, Krey mcgetty, that was a
17:17
Speaker 5: big deal. Was the day the Bucks signed Gregman Rowe
17:20
Speaker 5: the most. We were absolutely going crazy.
17:24
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because he's a Georgetown guy.
17:26
Speaker 4: Wow. No, just it was a big deal to get
17:27
Speaker 4: a free agent like that, and he at the time
17:29
Speaker 4: was a good dominant big and all these things.
17:31
Speaker 5: And I don't know, I just think that he never
17:33
Speaker 5: played with his back to the basket.
17:35
Speaker 1: Ever.
17:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had some moments, but I think we were
17:39
Speaker 4: really excited about him.
17:40
Speaker 1: I mean the excitement over soup On.
17:43
Speaker 4: I mean we laugh now, but the excitement when the
17:45
Speaker 4: when Christmas Eve, when the Brewers got Jeff soup On
17:48
Speaker 4: was crazy. Now, this weren't call ups, but it was
17:49
Speaker 4: it was anticipated. Paul from Kenosha, I remember a young
17:52
Speaker 4: guy you might have heard of them, Robin you out
17:53
Speaker 4: in nineteen seventy four. Two years later he plays another
17:56
Speaker 4: guy named Henry Aaron and Robin what Drew spent like
17:59
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes in the minor leagues. Basically, Yeah, they gave
18:02
Speaker 4: him a little cup of coffee and then he came
18:03
Speaker 4: all the way up and they said, you're just We're
18:06
Speaker 4: just gonna let you develop in the big leagues. That's
18:08
Speaker 4: how this is gonna work. So that that's one that
18:11
Speaker 4: we got from Paul and Kenosha. Yeah, that's that's when
18:14
Speaker 4: you're not seeing again, right, Like the you're you're rushing.
18:17
Speaker 4: They're getting players up as quick as possible.
18:18
Speaker 5: Now, maybe not that quick, maybe not maybe maybe not
18:23
Speaker 5: that quick. Even though we did have a twenty year
18:25
Speaker 5: old playing a left field for a majority of the season,
18:28
Speaker 5: two years ago. That that's a bygone era of being
18:32
Speaker 5: up there. Uh that lightning fast, you know, Finni Guyardo.
18:35
Speaker 5: I do remember d listing it up and waiting for
18:38
Speaker 5: that day and begging my mom to go to the game,
18:42
Speaker 5: and we had something to do so we couldn't go
18:44
Speaker 5: and ended up watching. I think he had like nine
18:45
Speaker 5: or ten strikeouts in his uh one of his first games.
18:48
Speaker 5: I want to say it was against the Giants, really good,
18:50
Speaker 5: good outing because for all of those players that we mentioned,
18:54
Speaker 5: braun Fielder, Weeks, Hardy, it was like, does anybody throw
18:59
Speaker 5: the ball?
19:01
Speaker 3: Or do we all hit?
19:01
Speaker 5: Can we find anybody that can pitch consistently that is
19:05
Speaker 5: also going to be homegrown? And then all of a sudden,
19:07
Speaker 5: you get this one right on top of it. Now
19:09
Speaker 5: we got Now we got somewhere to go. Ryan and
19:11
Speaker 5: Muskigo is maybe my favorite one. It's got to be
19:13
Speaker 5: the debut of the Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
19:18
Speaker 5: nine twenty. No questions, guys, come on, Ryan here. We
19:22
Speaker 5: appreciate that we were very excited for this debut too.
19:25
Speaker 5: Now there are also some like in minor league baseball,
19:29
Speaker 5: you don't ever want to jinx it. I don't think
19:31
Speaker 5: a lot of us wanted to jinx anything. And we're
19:34
Speaker 5: to make sure that we're all gonna be able to
19:35
Speaker 5: have this much fun wake up in the five o'clock
19:37
Speaker 5: club with everybody, and now you blink, and I think
19:41
Speaker 5: we celebrate our six month birthday this week.
19:43
Speaker 1: That's hard to blow. Now, that's about that.
19:45
Speaker 4: It's flown by just like every show does, just because
19:48
Speaker 4: of how good it is doing with you guys. Actually
19:51
Speaker 4: and and and then it's gone fast quality, the quality
19:54
Speaker 4: of two legends, Drew Olsen and Bell Schmid. But I
19:56
Speaker 4: gotta say, don't let me forget this one. Freddy Peralta.
20:00
Speaker 4: Now maybe it wasn't as anticipated because it was a
20:02
Speaker 4: surprise call up because I think he had to fill
20:04
Speaker 4: in for Chase Anderson.
20:05
Speaker 3: That sounds right.
20:06
Speaker 4: Thirteen strikeouts in that debut, if you remember he went
20:10
Speaker 4: in colad on Mother's Day.
20:12
Speaker 6: It wasn't a big anticipated debut, but it was spectacular.
20:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to put it.
20:17
Speaker 5: He was he was kind of the third the third
20:19
Speaker 5: wheel in that in that spot, uh car that you
20:23
Speaker 5: were hearing down in TRIPAA with the young guys, right,
20:25
Speaker 5: Burns and Wood.
20:25
Speaker 3: If you heard a lot of and par Alta Guysason
20:29
Speaker 3: too and good.
20:30
Speaker 1: But didn't know the team's plans for him. They tried
20:32
Speaker 1: to make him a closer for a while, if you
20:33
Speaker 1: remember that.
20:34
Speaker 4: So I didn't know exactly what was to be for
20:36
Speaker 4: Freddy other than okay, all of a sudden, we saw
20:39
Speaker 4: his fastball. We saw what he could do Freddy fastball.
20:41
Speaker 4: You know, like, all right, this guy just kate thirteen
20:44
Speaker 4: guys and he's were embraces.
20:45
Speaker 1: I'm happy about it.
20:46
Speaker 3: That'll play, that'll play. Yeah, I remember you were digging that.
20:50
Speaker 5: It was microwaved, it was quick, any of that. But
20:53
Speaker 5: what about that fit? What about that eleven days for
20:55
Speaker 5: the wait in the debut in a Packers uniform for
20:58
Speaker 5: Micah Parsons.
20:58
Speaker 4: Earlier, that was there's nothing well, I shouldn't say nothing
21:02
Speaker 4: one Reggie, but the excitement, the hype for him coming
21:07
Speaker 4: in that first game when he came.
21:09
Speaker 3: Home run out of the tunnel last.
21:11
Speaker 4: And then when he entered the game, the pop from
21:13
Speaker 4: the crowd when he entered on that third down, put
21:15
Speaker 4: his checked in that third down.
21:16
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, loving it all right?
21:18
Speaker 6: Eight seven seven seven nine. Nicolay Loudac, I'm talking text
21:22
Speaker 6: on when we come back. Scott Dolphin's going to join
21:23
Speaker 6: the party. Because it's halftime of the Tuesday edition of
21:26
Speaker 6: The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
21:34
Speaker 3: Your halftime has arrived.
21:35
Speaker 6: Scott Dolphin from the country station down the hall is here,
21:37
Speaker 6: our halftime correspondent and Arman welcomes and streamers can't hear it.
21:41
Speaker 3: But little Garth Brooks, who's.
21:42
Speaker 1: In town now? Yeah, two Knights in a row, Garth.
21:46
Speaker 2: You know, I was looking at his itinerary his tour
21:48
Speaker 2: he's only doing right now Milwaukee and London, so we're
21:52
Speaker 2: a pretty rare air up there.
21:53
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
21:54
Speaker 2: And Hyde Park those are the only venues he's playing
21:56
Speaker 2: a park.
21:58
Speaker 1: How often does that happen? You get those two shows
22:01
Speaker 1: one offs.
22:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say for him, it's I'm gonna play
22:03
Speaker 2: whenever I want to play. I know he does a
22:05
Speaker 2: lot in Vegas too, Summerfest writes some big checks.
22:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what this is. They wanted amaze.
22:11
Speaker 2: I'm amazed that this is the first time he's ever
22:13
Speaker 2: played Summerfest. And he's technically not playing Summerfest, but it's
22:15
Speaker 2: the first time. He's been in Milwaukee many times over
22:18
Speaker 2: the years, but this first time he's played the Amphitheater.
22:20
Speaker 3: That's wild.
22:20
Speaker 4: Well, I remember the hype when he came to the
22:22
Speaker 4: Bradley Center, Right, wasn't that a couple of nights? Right?
22:25
Speaker 1: Multiple shows?
22:26
Speaker 3: There was so much you doing two shows a night?
22:29
Speaker 1: He did?
22:29
Speaker 2: He did, he did, He did two shows of nights
22:31
Speaker 2: or two nights, and then uh, before that, you have
22:34
Speaker 2: to go back to the late nineties.
22:35
Speaker 1: I think he did three nights or four nights at
22:37
Speaker 1: the Bradleys.
22:38
Speaker 3: Kind of one of the ogs of the modern country,
22:41
Speaker 3: I think. And it happened in a hurry for him.
22:44
Speaker 2: I mean he went from opening theaters for other artists
22:48
Speaker 2: to exploding on the scenes with songs like thunder Rolls
22:51
Speaker 2: and and Friends of Low Places.
22:53
Speaker 3: In the History that.
22:56
Speaker 1: I've told it before.
22:57
Speaker 6: But had a five minute exclusive one on one as
22:59
Speaker 6: a base all hacked looking for a notebook because he
23:01
Speaker 6: was playing for the Padres in spring training.
23:03
Speaker 3: Played at Maryvale.
23:04
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
23:05
Speaker 6: He was pissed that he I think he made an
23:07
Speaker 6: error and he was like over and he didn't really
23:09
Speaker 6: want to talk about his performance that much. But I
23:11
Speaker 6: got him like, you know, he can give him a
23:12
Speaker 6: couple of minutes and hell yeah.
23:15
Speaker 2: Pride at former D one athlete at Oklahoma Stateiums track
23:17
Speaker 2: and field guy at a issue.
23:19
Speaker 5: So he was actually trying to play. He was Will Ferrell.
23:24
Speaker 6: Camp, and it was like it was kind of a
23:26
Speaker 6: publicity stunt, but it was also like he was legit
23:29
Speaker 6: trying to play.
23:30
Speaker 2: And make contact. I mean Matt's padres royals.
23:34
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah. I think he did like three three springs
23:36
Speaker 3: in a row. He kind of pinged.
23:38
Speaker 5: So was this just off of like MJ saying, Hey,
23:40
Speaker 5: I'm the best in this, I'm gonna go also play baseball,
23:43
Speaker 5: And then everybody else that was the best in their
23:45
Speaker 5: field was like, you know what, I also played some ball.
23:47
Speaker 2: Let's let me get in there and question. I don't
23:49
Speaker 2: remember if Garth did it first before J. MJ was
23:52
Speaker 2: mid nineties, right, yeah, it.
23:54
Speaker 6: Was that was probably it was probably after MJ. Okay,
24:00
Speaker 6: probably after, but it was a close proximity I think.
24:02
Speaker 3: And he just liked ball. I love it. He's just
24:05
Speaker 3: a ball fanway you know. He wanted to play and
24:07
Speaker 3: see if I can get in here fellows come on now.
24:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to have that kind of power.
24:11
Speaker 3: Long toss on the road.
24:13
Speaker 4: He threw javelin that's not easy to figure out he
24:15
Speaker 4: threw javelin in Oklahoma Uh State, Wow, what's so funny?
24:22
Speaker 4: He was.
24:26
Speaker 5: Steph Sutton's coming out of left field. That one is
24:28
Speaker 5: out of.
24:28
Speaker 2: The I kind of set him up. I said he
24:31
Speaker 2: was a track athlete at Oklahoma State.
24:33
Speaker 1: He did. I just think javelin is a unique event.
24:36
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just you don't see you guys
24:38
Speaker 1: throwing javelin.
24:39
Speaker 2: No, you see that in the Olympics, but you don't
24:40
Speaker 2: think about it much in college.
24:42
Speaker 1: I don't think they have it in high school.
24:44
Speaker 4: One hundred and seventy million records, and he sold more
24:48
Speaker 4: than Elvis and Alas, second only the Beatles in total
24:51
Speaker 4: album sales overall.
24:52
Speaker 1: That is man, That is amazing.
24:55
Speaker 6: Spring Training ninety nine, he reports to por he's hanging
24:58
Speaker 6: out with the Padres. Mostly is a pinch hitter, played left.
25:02
Speaker 6: It was one for twenty two. I got a hit
25:04
Speaker 6: against the White Sox with the Mets. He went to
25:09
Speaker 6: the Mets in two thousand and if I'm not mistaken,
25:12
Speaker 6: did the Mets go to the Subway series that they did?
25:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that. It might have. He was for
25:17
Speaker 3: seventeen in camp, but he drew four walks there.
25:20
Speaker 1: We go I base.
25:21
Speaker 6: He did this and he was raising money I remember
25:23
Speaker 6: for children's charities, probably from St. Jude, Saint Jude probably,
25:27
Speaker 6: And then he fired it up again in four with
25:29
Speaker 6: the Royals. He went there, went to Surprise, he had
25:34
Speaker 6: a I think that was like a one game deal,
25:35
Speaker 6: got an infield hit, all right, so for him. Then
25:40
Speaker 6: he waited. In twenty nineteen, went to Bradenton to celebrate
25:44
Speaker 6: the twenty the anniversary of his foundation. And uh he
25:47
Speaker 6: went to the Pirates because he grew up rooting for
25:49
Speaker 6: the Pirates due to a childhood admiration for Roberto Clemente.
25:52
Speaker 6: So he played in twenty nineteen. So well sprinkled over.
25:55
Speaker 6: But I remember that was yeah, he was raising cash.
25:58
Speaker 6: Now he might be too big.
26:00
Speaker 5: However, this sound This sounds like he needs to have
26:03
Speaker 5: one more at bat. Sounds like he needs to be
26:06
Speaker 5: in a sold out stadium, maybe over the Fourth of
26:09
Speaker 5: July weekend. And I always said he needs to be
26:11
Speaker 5: taking one more at bat with the Savannah, but here.
26:13
Speaker 1: It sounds like he needs one more.
26:16
Speaker 6: Here's a question for you, logistically, this guy, given his
26:19
Speaker 6: love of baseball and the timing, could they have him
26:22
Speaker 6: throw out the first pitch? At American Family Field then
26:24
Speaker 6: shepherd him downtown to the show to the show at
26:26
Speaker 6: the Ampitheater.
26:27
Speaker 1: That's a great question.
26:28
Speaker 6: Potentially they might worry about traffic or something, but it
26:30
Speaker 6: would be it'd be doable.
26:32
Speaker 4: Well, they did that for Snoop when Snoop was in
26:34
Speaker 4: town to do his Potootomy show.
26:36
Speaker 3: That was a day game. That was a day game
26:38
Speaker 3: and it was the day before the show.
26:40
Speaker 5: Was yeah, you're right, it was day before the game,
26:42
Speaker 5: and it was it was the day game.
26:43
Speaker 3: And and also then he went up. That remains, by
26:46
Speaker 3: the way today.
26:46
Speaker 6: We often talked with Bill Schroeder on Tuesdays, but he
26:48
Speaker 6: is out of the country on vacation this week and so.
26:51
Speaker 3: He'll join us next week.
26:53
Speaker 6: But Rock that is still one of his most memorable
26:55
Speaker 6: times in the booth when Snoop came in for an
26:59
Speaker 6: Oh so Good. We'll talk about it classics. So all right, Dolph,
27:03
Speaker 6: we have Cooper Pratt making his debut tonight. Maybe Garth
27:05
Speaker 6: Brooks will come and sign a ball for Cooper Pratt.
27:07
Speaker 6: He should, he should go take some VP. Cooper Pratt
27:09
Speaker 6: is the story. It's Cooper Pratt Day in in Milwaukee
27:12
Speaker 6: and in Wisconsin. Writ large and I'm wondering, off, how
27:14
Speaker 6: can you not be romantic about baseball? Is there anything
27:16
Speaker 6: like other than a starting pitcher who's a prospect that's
27:20

Speaker 5: day for him because it is league night tonight, so
28:02
Speaker 5: that place is going to be rocking. There are a
28:04
Speaker 5: couple of midweek games where that place will be loud.
28:07
Speaker 5: Little League Night Drew is one where the official scores
28:10
Speaker 5: year is going to be ringing here tonight.
28:12
Speaker 6: I know there are the anal retentive people listening to
28:14
Speaker 6: us will say it's not summer yet until the actual
28:17
Speaker 6: solstice and all that, right, but it's summer in Milwaukee
28:20
Speaker 6: and in Wisconsin, and you could tell over the weekend
28:23
Speaker 6: forty thousand every night because the it's like, oh, school's out,
28:26
Speaker 6: and it's like the light goes on for the Brewers,
28:28
Speaker 6: like it's we always talk about that with l Hefe
28:30
Speaker 6: and the admirals, like you get to like Christmas time
28:33
Speaker 6: hockey seasons here, boom, wake up. They've been playing for
28:35
Speaker 6: a couple of months, but hockey hits like around that
28:37
Speaker 6: Christmas break when the college kids are home and the
28:39
Speaker 6: crowds start to realize that it's winter and we're bunkering in. Well,
28:42
Speaker 6: in baseball, when at least in Milwaukee when school is out,
28:46
Speaker 6: like oh boy, then it's a tougher ticket and it's
28:49
Speaker 6: like the longer lines and more parking jams.
28:51
Speaker 2: Well, and because Lake Michigan is so damn cold, that's
28:55
Speaker 2: the first time, really we can start the roof was open.
28:58
Speaker 2: I went Friday night. I've been to a handful of games.
29:00
Speaker 2: That's the first time I'd been in an open roof night,
29:02
Speaker 2: and the first time I wore shorts was Friday again,
29:04
Speaker 2: when when the Mist did his Yeah.
29:06
Speaker 3: The world's largest refrigerator might be cool in a little
29:08
Speaker 3: bit tonight.
29:09
Speaker 5: It might be that for the folks going to the concert,
29:11
Speaker 5: will they be feeling any effecture you're giving us, You're
29:14
Speaker 5: very night.
29:14
Speaker 3: It should be okay, Yeah, it's comfortable.
29:16
Speaker 1: It will be the sixties, it'll be a little chill,
29:18
Speaker 1: but it's not.
29:19
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not.
29:20
Speaker 2: The big concern, especially for his show tomorrow is going
29:22
Speaker 2: to be rained. They said we could see between an
29:24
Speaker 2: inch and three inches of rain depending on where you are.
29:27
Speaker 2: Ninety two hundred seats are covered at the American Family
29:29
Speaker 2: Insurance Amphitheater. Unfortunately, that means about fourteen thousand of them
29:32
Speaker 2: are not natures in law.
29:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, the poncho, that's what I say.
29:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, up there, it's.
29:39
Speaker 1: It's kind of makes for you know, you got it
29:41
Speaker 1: a little.
29:42
Speaker 4: Bit of a month slide, But that's when it makes
29:43
Speaker 4: it all the key simple planet and some forty one.
29:46
Speaker 4: I brought a poncho.
29:47
Speaker 3: Oh, there you go.
29:47
Speaker 6: The key is that it'll be it's going to be
29:50
Speaker 6: like warm and dry out on Thursday for day one
29:52
Speaker 6: of the actual summer fest. So it's like a rinsing
29:54
Speaker 6: of the grounds. We like those late night overnight rain.
29:57
Speaker 6: It's rinse off the grounds. Get it ready.
29:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't even looked, and usually I do it
30:02
Speaker 2: a scouting report and see, okay, where I'm going to be, win,
30:04
Speaker 2: where I'm gonna be where. But I haven't even better
30:07
Speaker 2: than I yet. At the Thursday.
30:09
Speaker 6: Thursday night, you can run into arm and a third
30:11
Speaker 6: eye blind at ten o'clock if he decides to show.
30:14
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, it's all these guys. That's my
30:16
Speaker 4: conundrum is that I have to get a nap during
30:18
Speaker 4: the day.
30:20
Speaker 1: It's not that easy.
30:21
Speaker 4: You can get a nap, but it's like I'm gonna
30:23
Speaker 4: get out by what midnight, one o'clock.
30:25
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna get up at what time? So
30:27
Speaker 1: it's tough.
30:28
Speaker 2: If it's okay with the family, the couches in the
30:30
Speaker 2: lounge are awesome.
30:32
Speaker 1: You just come right here. I know I could do that.
30:34
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely we want to do. I won't call you.
30:36
Speaker 3: I won't call that one fake hustle like I did
30:39
Speaker 3: after the Packers game.
30:40
Speaker 4: Oh it's not fake. It's not fake hustle. I mean,
30:42
Speaker 4: you can call whatever you want. I really don't care.
30:44
Speaker 4: The reality is I would like to get some sleep
30:46
Speaker 4: that night.
30:47
Speaker 2: I could tell you what you do about this, So
30:49
Speaker 2: I'm I'm off Friday. I don't know if I've told you.
30:51
Speaker 1: O man, smart man, another veteran move. I learned.
30:55
Speaker 3: They're teaching us how to do this radio thing. I
30:57
Speaker 3: don't know why. I appreciate.
30:58
Speaker 2: Like five years ago, seven years ago, BlackBerry Smoke, one
31:00
Speaker 2: of my favorite bands, played and they ended at like
31:02
Speaker 2: eleven fifty seven. And by the time I got out
31:05
Speaker 2: of there and got on the ride, rode the Flyer,
31:07
Speaker 2: got back to my car, got home, it was maybe
31:09
Speaker 2: two hours two and a half hours sleep, and I
31:11
Speaker 2: struggled mightily the next day.
31:13
Speaker 1: Well, see, I know I'm gonna I mean, I'm gonna
31:15
Speaker 1: put myself. How charmed of a life you want to live?
31:18
Speaker 6: No doubt what I here's the semi here's the thing. Like,
31:22
Speaker 6: I'm glad that I'm not doing the afternoon show. I
31:25
Speaker 6: had fun doing it down there in the fish Bowl
31:26
Speaker 6: and from three to six. But it's nice not to
31:28
Speaker 6: because they put a lot of the old people bands
31:31
Speaker 6: at two o'clock, and now.
31:33
Speaker 1: They started to do that.
31:34
Speaker 6: I've said this for years for Summerfest officials, and Summerfest
31:38
Speaker 6: is like this great polarizing event and it's a great event,
31:40
Speaker 6: but a lot of people, like two most popular past
31:43
Speaker 6: times in summer are going to Summerfest and bitching about
31:44
Speaker 6: Summerfest like that true Milwauk.
31:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the truth.
31:48
Speaker 6: But I told them, like, why don't you manipulate it
31:51
Speaker 6: so that your headliners aren't going out of ten? Put
31:53
Speaker 6: them on at eight, put a local band or a
31:55
Speaker 6: middle band kind of behind them, and allow people to
31:58
Speaker 6: have that option of being there at night and then
32:00
Speaker 6: cruising out at ten, and then the hardcorese can stay
32:02
Speaker 6: till it closes, until they kick them out.
32:04
Speaker 3: I wonder if that would affect their beer sales. Not sure,
32:07
Speaker 3: I mean, you know it's like that.
32:09
Speaker 1: I don't think it was.
32:10
Speaker 4: You know, if you're seeing what you want to see,
32:11
Speaker 4: it's a nice day, well wouldn't you buy one?
32:13
Speaker 5: Put the put the scrillis folks up at ten, o'clock
32:17
Speaker 5: and you can.
32:17
Speaker 3: You're still gonna have plenty of club music and kids.
32:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll stay in the next there is still ready
32:22
Speaker 2: to buy beer. We've got one of the hottest guys
32:23
Speaker 2: in country Tucker Wetmore, who's had three straight number one songs.
32:26
Speaker 2: He's played ten fifteen. Next Thursday Night Tucker More. Yeah,
32:31
Speaker 2: that's a good pause he has.
32:34
Speaker 6: His last three have been number one rocket chefs. Sometimes
32:39
Speaker 6: you just have great names. Like I always said, Scooter
32:40
Speaker 6: Jeanette is not going to be an orthodontist. He had
32:43
Speaker 6: to be a second basement Tucker Wetmore country store star
32:47
Speaker 6: or maybe kicker for Alabama or Auburn.
32:49
Speaker 3: Yeah he could.
32:51
Speaker 5: He could have maybe fit in and pledged a or
32:53
Speaker 5: two in the feel they're.
32:56
Speaker 6: Back in the day and now he's a hitting coach.
32:57
Speaker 6: Turner Ward another great Southern name, Turner Ward.
33:02
Speaker 1: Picture with him once on picture day Conte Stadium.
33:04
Speaker 4: Ward.
33:05
Speaker 1: You don't see many of those jerseys around.
33:06
Speaker 6: Tyler Houston was another guy that's a big Lake first
33:10
Speaker 6: round pick.
33:10
Speaker 3: Tyler Houston.
33:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good sometime. Your last name is our
33:14
Speaker 2: first name is a city. It's a cool sports name. Yes,
33:18
Speaker 2: Dallas In four Christmas where Robert Devaal named all his
33:23
Speaker 2: boys after the cities in which they were conceived. Oh yeah,
33:26
Speaker 2: he had, he had Dallas, Orlando and Houston and or Denver.
33:31
Speaker 1: You don't hear a lot of kids named Oklahoma City
33:33
Speaker 1: do as a maybe a Tulsa in there.
33:37
Speaker 6: As A wise hockey man once told me, everybody who
33:40
Speaker 6: comes through Wisconsin and plays for the Badgers in hockey,
33:43
Speaker 6: they end up with daughters named Madison, dogs named.
33:46
Speaker 3: Bucky, and they drive red trucks.
33:48
Speaker 6: Trucks that's the stamp, like Cardinal and White is.
33:56
Speaker 5: You don't need one of those little alumni license plate
33:58
Speaker 5: holders we got.
33:59
Speaker 3: There'll be there will be my daughter Madison.
34:02
Speaker 1: Come on, these are my kids, Mouston, Stoton and will Pass.
34:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.
34:07
Speaker 2: Milwaukee just doesn't lend itself to a first name, doesn't
34:10
Speaker 2: not like Madison.
34:11
Speaker 3: Not really what you talking about?
34:12
Speaker 1: You don't think Glendale Surian's on the way? What do
34:14
Speaker 1: you no?
34:16
Speaker 5: I thought you guys were you were working on on Waukeshaw.
34:19
Speaker 1: Sorrian would be for you?
34:22
Speaker 3: Glendale, South Milwaukee.
34:23
Speaker 1: Sorry, well, Glendell, who's his money?
34:26

34:30
Speaker 1: Old time.
34:31
Speaker 3: You can definitely go to Marquette.
34:33
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, like Harrison Kensington, the third Glendale.
34:38
Speaker 1: With the name like Glendale, that's pretty funny. That would
34:41
Speaker 1: be the best city name that to make a name.
34:43
Speaker 3: I'm just Milwaukee.
34:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think you get is cool. It would
34:50
Speaker 1: be a cool name for a girl. I don't know,
34:53
Speaker 1: I don't know.
34:55
Speaker 6: No, no, she wouldn't go that way. So if you
34:59
Speaker 6: have your game playing, you haven't charted it out yet.
35:01
Speaker 6: You and your boys just wanted around to find good
35:02
Speaker 6: music wherever you find it. And that's why I always
35:04
Speaker 6: tell people they say, oh, this lineup just sucks.
35:06
Speaker 1: I don't know.
35:07
Speaker 2: It's just because you don't know a band's name doesn't
35:10
Speaker 2: mean you're not gonna love a band. A lot of
35:11

37:26
Speaker 6: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating Cooling, our friends,
37:30
Speaker 6: their employee owned for forty years doing the good work here.
37:33
Speaker 1: Uh.
37:34
Speaker 6: They can help you with either an install, tune up,
37:37
Speaker 6: or service whatever you may need in terms of your
37:39
Speaker 6: h back. And make sure that air conditioning is running,
37:41
Speaker 6: because there even be days when you need it, need it.
37:44
Speaker 6: Maybe not this week, but soon we will be. Uh,
37:47
Speaker 6: we'll be smoking in the furnace in the humidity. So
37:50
Speaker 6: get your stuff tuned up. Billy, Who's hot and who's not?
37:53
Speaker 5: How about Colt Keith Detroit Tigers. You might not think
37:56
Speaker 5: that the Tigers have anything in the hot category. He's
37:58
Speaker 5: got four bombs on the season. He's got four bombs
38:02
Speaker 5: in the last four games, three of which came last night.
38:06
Speaker 5: He had not homered in the first sixty plus games
38:08
Speaker 5: of the year and now has four and four days
38:11
Speaker 5: and the Tigers had a nine to three victory over
38:13
Speaker 5: Jordan Alvarez and the Houston Astros yesterday. Also in the
38:18
Speaker 5: hot category, the Chicago Cubs centerfielder Pete Crow Armstrong hit
38:22
Speaker 5: for the cycle yesterday and then was promptly well picked
38:27
Speaker 5: off while getting a standing ovation in a two to
38:31
Speaker 5: one game at Wrigley Field. In the seventh Pete Krow
38:34
Speaker 5: Armstrong tipped the cap to the fans, gave a salute,
38:37
Speaker 5: and then was promptly ahead.
38:39
Speaker 6: First it's a weird cycle, reverse cycles. Homer triple double single,
38:44
Speaker 6: the hardest ones out of the way, right out of
38:46
Speaker 6: La superre and then he got picked off in a
38:48
Speaker 6: two to one game, which is not a good look.
38:50
Speaker 6: But in his next sit bat he had a sack
38:51
Speaker 6: fly to kind of help.
38:53
Speaker 5: Them and they ended up walking it off. I was
38:54
Speaker 5: gonna say to slice into the lead in that same game.
38:58
Speaker 5: Later on in that game was your boy, Cole Carrig.
39:02
Speaker 5: Cole Carrig, twenty four years old. Arman launched a three
39:05
Speaker 5: run shot at Wrigley Field and at that point gave
39:07
Speaker 5: the Rockies a four to two lead and had the
39:11
Speaker 5: content creators in Cubbsonland just loosen their absolute minds.
39:15
Speaker 1: Oh my god, probably another one. I can't believe that.
39:19
Speaker 4: How is this?
39:20
Speaker 5: I can subscribe, thank you. Also in the hot category,
39:24
Speaker 5: Dustin May. This dude fired a gem against the Brewers
39:27
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, and last night was even better.
39:30
Speaker 5: A one hit, complete game, shutout, walked one, struck out
39:34
Speaker 5: nine padres in a three to nothing win and fellas
39:37
Speaker 5: as we've as we mentioned a little earlier, we've been
39:40
Speaker 5: waiting for, you know, water to find its level here
39:42
Speaker 5: in the NL Central, and it kind of is. Pittsburgh
39:45
Speaker 5: nine games back as they dipped under five hundred over
39:47
Speaker 5: the weekend, and the Cincinnati Reds they're in a little
39:50
Speaker 5: bit of a free fall, thirty four and thirty seven,
39:52
Speaker 5: ten games back of the crew, the one team that
39:54
Speaker 5: hasn't moved and maybe a little bit better than we
39:57
Speaker 5: all kind of thought they would be the Cardinal. They're
40:01
Speaker 5: not going away as much as I would have thought
40:03
