0:44

1:06
Speaker 4: Absolutely guys, Happy Monday. It's always it's always good to
1:09
Speaker 4: get going on a Monday. And it feels like it
1:12
Speaker 4: feels like the start of fall, even though it's not
1:15
Speaker 4: really fall.
1:16
Speaker 1: I mean the weather is in fall. But we got
1:19
Speaker 1: Packers playing a game in a couple of days. Packers Week.
1:22
Speaker 4: It's it's pack I mean, I know, I know a
1:25
Speaker 4: lot of people like when I say that around around
1:28
Speaker 4: town because I get around town to talk, get around town.
1:31
Speaker 1: I get around town.
1:32
Speaker 3: Channeling is a little Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Y's for the game
1:36
Speaker 3: we're going around talking.
1:38
Speaker 1: To I don't know, I know why, idea, why I
1:41
Speaker 1: came out like that. I don't know why.
1:42
Speaker 4: It sound like Brian Wilson talking about I get around.
1:45
Speaker 4: That was a Beast Boys reference. Billy for you.
1:48
Speaker 1: Oh I got that one. I didn't know that it dignified.
1:52
Speaker 4: People look at you decide I about Packers, I'm like, oh, yeah,
1:54
Speaker 4: preseason starts this week, and you know, you do notice
1:57
Speaker 4: the less unless people are necessarily plugged.
2:00
Speaker 1: In on preseason.
2:02
Speaker 4: But then you know, when you talk about a Hall
2:03
Speaker 4: of Fame inductions, hall of Fame game, the fact that
2:05
Speaker 4: there's you know, there's joint there's still training camp and
2:07
Speaker 4: joint practices coming up, and it's like, oh, okay, you're right.
2:10
Speaker 4: I guess you are getting closer and closer to the
2:13
Speaker 4: the throes of it. And also the reality that there's
2:16
Speaker 4: only you know, six weeks left the regular season baseball,
2:19
Speaker 4: which is like, man, it's flown by. At least for
2:22
Speaker 4: me it has, because it's been a fun summer of
2:24
Speaker 4: Brewers baseball.
2:25
Speaker 1: So well, run a fun fun weekend.
2:27
Speaker 2: Brewmers take two of three from the Twins after losing
2:31
Speaker 2: on Friday night.
2:31
Speaker 3: Kind of a lackluster, yeah, And I felt like they
2:35
Speaker 3: could have definitely could have even should have won on
2:37
Speaker 3: Friday drew if they would have brought, you know, their
2:39
Speaker 3: best game to the ballpark, and then probably could have
2:41
Speaker 3: lost the last two games. The ones that they won
2:43
Speaker 3: really compelling games. And to Arman's point, you know, maybe
2:46
Speaker 3: the maybe the way the baseball is being played right
2:49
Speaker 3: now pushes off fall and pushes off football season even longer.
2:53
Speaker 3: There was a long time when Drew and Tom Hondecourt
2:56
Speaker 3: were teaching me how to read in the Milwaukee Ternal
2:58
Speaker 3: Sentinel that people just prayed that they were compelling until
3:02
Speaker 3: training camp started, and then the entertainment would flip and
3:06
Speaker 3: instead we get some real dual screen action and setting
3:10
Speaker 3: up for a hell of a fall where we get
3:12
Speaker 3: to be in the lambeau Field press box. Watching some
3:14
Speaker 3: Brewers games, I immediately thought of it. The game, the
3:18
Speaker 3: first preseason game a year ago. Brewers are taking on
3:21
Speaker 3: the Mets and Wild Bills hitting a walk off homer
3:24
Speaker 3: or an eighth inning homer to take the lead, and
3:26
Speaker 3: in that wild series they had against New York, and
3:30
Speaker 3: they're kind of doing it again, albeit I don't know
3:33
Speaker 3: about playing their best baseball, especially at the plate, and
3:36
Speaker 3: dinged up. I was just gonna say, and seriously dinged up.
3:40
Speaker 3: As much as I've been hearing people go through of
3:42
Speaker 3: what year is the year to go all in and
3:45
Speaker 3: what year is the year to strike Drew, They're doing
3:47
Speaker 3: this while battling more injuries than a first place team
3:52
Speaker 3: best team in baseball generally is at this time, no
3:54
Speaker 3: doubt the Cooper Pratt one.
3:55
Speaker 2: You don't expect young guys to blow out hamstrings. That's
3:57
Speaker 2: an old managery. Yeah, get kiddy, that was tough, but
4:00
Speaker 2: that was already one twenty one. You gotta kind of
4:02
Speaker 2: get through all these things while the while, the while,
4:05
Speaker 2: the Cubs are still putting pressure on they they did
4:07
Speaker 2: get one loss against the Royals, but still two out
4:09
Speaker 2: of three. They had to comeback on Thursday, and you're
4:11
Speaker 2: still looking for that first round by so you have
4:14
Speaker 2: to try. And you know, it's weird to feel at
4:17
Speaker 2: seventy four and forty four like.
4:19
Speaker 4: Uh, like you gotta put the pedal to the metal more.
4:21
Speaker 4: But that's kind of what it feels like if you
4:24
Speaker 4: want to be in that situation.
4:25
Speaker 3: Can I I just got an Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin
4:28
Speaker 3: injury report, Yeah, ortho ASP walk right, And can I
4:32
Speaker 3: give a heads up to that one that is sitting
4:34
Speaker 3: right here on the Four Letter Networks website, Manager Pat
4:37
Speaker 3: Murphy and Pratt said is out of the lineup on
4:39
Speaker 3: Sunday's game against the Twins undergoing MRI and his hamstring
4:43
Speaker 3: per hunter bombguard of Fox Sports nine twenty Milwaukee reports,
4:48
Speaker 3: all right, man out here, now, we got und getting
4:51
Speaker 3: sighted right here on on ESPN. Name that is phenomenal.
4:55
Speaker 3: Joe Yorks is out of lineup Sunday due to an
4:57
Speaker 3: upper back injury and it's considered day to day.
5:00
Speaker 1: Per Hunter.
5:01
Speaker 4: Bombguard of Fox Sports for nine twenty Milwaukee reports, how
5:04
Speaker 4: about that. We got a screen grab that and counter
5:07
Speaker 4: blow it up and printed and like make sure he
5:12
Speaker 4: sees that, Like, you know that juices me? Operated I did,
5:15
Speaker 4: come on, I did kind of see that in the
5:17
Speaker 4: article and then I liked at double take because it
5:19
Speaker 4: was on my phone.
5:20
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, that's our guy, that's Hunter.
5:22
Speaker 1: So that was pretty.
5:23
Speaker 4: Exciting to see as I love seeing that one. So
5:25
Speaker 4: wait to go Hunter.
5:27
Speaker 2: Hunter is going to appear later in the program and
5:30
Speaker 2: we'll have his recap from yesterday's proceedings yes coming up,
5:34
Speaker 2: and he's going to take some time off this week
5:35
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, because Brewers are on the West
5:37
Speaker 2: coast beginning tonight in San Diago with a series of
5:41
Speaker 2: Petco Park compelling one San Diego playing really really well,
5:45
Speaker 2: and then on Dodgers in a free fall right and
5:47
Speaker 2: then on Wednesday, the match up the date of acquisitions,
5:52
Speaker 2: May against Ray.
5:53
Speaker 3: And you get to see the one guy that we
5:55
Speaker 3: talked a lot more about on this show because Robbie
5:57
Speaker 3: Ray was available for about two or three months, and
6:00
Speaker 3: from all the deadline recaps, doesn't sound like Robbie Ray
6:03
Speaker 3: was much on the Brewer's radar at all. Uh, they
6:07
Speaker 3: kind of looked.
6:07
Speaker 4: At if they weren't gonna get As Pat Murphy said
6:10
Speaker 4: yesterday after the game, who's that big guy that the Tigers.
6:14
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just got from the Tigers love it? What's
6:17
Speaker 1: that guy's name? What's that guy's name?
6:18
Speaker 4: Yeah?
6:19
Speaker 1: Oh, school, Yeah, the young guy, yes, school. Yeah.
6:21
Speaker 3: So they were in on him. They were interested in
6:24
Speaker 3: Gosman and Dustin May. And then you get to see
6:26
Speaker 3: him go up against one of the people that you'll
6:29
Speaker 3: definitely compare him to the most over the next month
6:32
Speaker 3: and a half and Robbie Ray and how he performs.
6:34
Speaker 4: It is kind of funny to see the Dodgers like
6:36
Speaker 4: kind of stop playing baseball after they got him. It's
6:39
Speaker 4: like they're like, all right, well, we got school now
6:41
Speaker 4: we don't have to actually try and go out and
6:43
Speaker 4: play and win anymore. But all of a sudden, they
6:44
Speaker 4: can't win games, like I'm saying with Yellich and contrast,
6:47
Speaker 4: get your slumps out of the way. Now that the
6:49
Speaker 4: Dodgers are doing they're beating the Christmas Rush. You know,
6:53
Speaker 4: they've lost three straight series like what eight out of
6:56
Speaker 4: nine or something like that, and the Brewers a you know,
6:58
Speaker 4: puncher's chance of finishing with the best record. Again, that's
7:01
Speaker 4: what I was hoping also with our injury situation. Get
7:03
Speaker 4: him out of the way, get everyone healthy.
7:05
Speaker 5: Yeah.
7:05
Speaker 1: The Artilla thing's trippy though, because then.
7:07
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm watching the game yesterday and I'm like, okay,
7:10
Speaker 2: we have a new clubhouse kid.
7:11
Speaker 1: Who's Bay?
7:12
Speaker 2: And I remember that there was the way that we
7:15
Speaker 2: saw who's he with?
7:16
Speaker 4: Uh?
7:17
Speaker 2: Guardians know who was he with before I was with
7:19
Speaker 2: the Mets triple A. But some because I do remember
7:22
Speaker 2: it sounds right. I do remember writing that name in
7:25
Speaker 2: and it's like, okay, well, and then all of a
7:27
Speaker 2: sudden he's coming in and playing Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, that's what Pittsburgh. Yeah,
7:32
Speaker 2: the third South Korean born Brewer. Well, and they got
7:35
Speaker 2: a glam shot of Bay. Uh.
7:38
Speaker 3: No joke is intended. When they were talking about him
7:41
Speaker 3: on the broadcast. He's like putting the hair behind the ears.
7:45
Speaker 3: A phenomenal look sitting right there on the bench, and
7:47
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden he rolls.
7:49
Speaker 1: Through with one of the sicker bunts I've seen in
7:52
Speaker 1: a while.
7:52
Speaker 4: That was good.
7:53
Speaker 3: I didn't I don't generally assume saying that, and don't
7:56
Speaker 3: a lot of times to celebrate him. But I thought
7:58
Speaker 3: that ball was going to glance off of his face. Instead,
8:01
Speaker 3: he puts it right in between the picture and the
8:03
Speaker 3: first basement.
8:03
Speaker 1: It was gorgeous.
8:04
Speaker 2: One we were had an establishment and the game was on.
8:07
Speaker 2: My wife's like, who's that guy? Like, oh, he's the
8:08
Speaker 2: newest brewer. He's been a brewer for about six hours.
8:10
Speaker 1: His name is Bay. She's like it's Bay. Yeah. That
8:13
Speaker 1: Jersey will be popular. The ed cedar number zero.
8:16
Speaker 4: It's definitely gonna get some legs that and you know,
8:19
Speaker 4: baby came slaying amongst the kids, like what five ten
8:22
Speaker 4: years ago? Billy were like that, you know, that's what
8:25
Speaker 4: I think the joke was. Yeah, I think the joke drew.
8:27
Speaker 2: I thought Jersey is going to be selling a lot
8:29
Speaker 2: because okay, you know anybody who's in a relation.
8:32
Speaker 1: But I just don't know if it's going to hit
8:33
Speaker 1: the same with the explainer.
8:36
Speaker 2: Armin is like, well, you know, I just it's like
8:39
Speaker 2: when they have the sign language interpreter in the bottom
8:41
Speaker 2: of the screen. Armin is for everybody who's over a
8:44
Speaker 2: certain vintage, he explains jokes that most people already.
8:47
Speaker 1: Got and it moved on for the next joke. Yeah, sure,
8:51
Speaker 1: we hit the rewinde feature. Let you know what what
8:53
Speaker 1: what I was talking about there right? Why it was funny?
8:56
Speaker 1: Why you didn't laugh? It is hard, no the points.
8:57
Speaker 4: I don't know if it hits the zeit guys the
8:59
Speaker 4: way it did like five ten years ago, but maybe
9:01
Speaker 4: it did.
9:02
Speaker 1: I don't know.
9:02
Speaker 4: This is funny and number zero that's it. It's I
9:06
Speaker 4: think the kids do still say Bay Bay. I don't know.
9:10
Speaker 1: I just said that.
9:11
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, I would put I could put Bay
9:14
Speaker 3: on a thirty two jersey because, uh, Miss Yesterday was phenomenal,
9:17
Speaker 3: even though it like he wasn't the best version of
9:20
Speaker 3: the miss What nine K's gives up a couple of
9:22
Speaker 3: bombs and Clemens steps on one there in the sixth
9:25
Speaker 3: after the walk that was great swings Yeah, and he
9:28
Speaker 3: was throwing like some of those pitches were ninety nine.
9:30
Speaker 3: H seemed like he was kind of cruising. Yeah, a
9:32
Speaker 3: little bit later and uh, I just it's one of
9:35
Speaker 3: the moment.
9:36
Speaker 2: It was just nothing but smoke for like the first
9:38
Speaker 2: time through the order.
9:40
Speaker 3: I love that h Gary Sanchez just kept wearing out
9:43
Speaker 3: that PitchCom number one. Yeah, let's throw the heater again. Yeah,
9:47
Speaker 3: let's throw the heater again. We don't care about it.
9:48
Speaker 3: Let's do it again. And when we do our uh,
9:51
Speaker 3: when we went with our WAPs, our wild ass predictions
9:53
Speaker 3: in the beginning of the year, I just wish I
9:55
Speaker 3: would have had some conviction. I wish I would have
9:57
Speaker 3: had some relentlessness and felt on Dante instead of saying
10:00
Speaker 3: close to two hundred innings, just said, uh, Jake Misrowski's
10:04
Speaker 3: gonna have two hundred innings, let alone two hundred innings
10:07
Speaker 3: or two hundred strikeouts. Do it faster than any brewer
10:10
Speaker 3: in Major league in history, and only Spencer Streider on
10:14
Speaker 3: the list of guys that have done it so fast
10:16
Speaker 3: in one of their earliest years in the big leagues
10:19
Speaker 3: strikes out two hundred guys in less innings one hundred
10:23
Speaker 3: and twenty nine and a third innings pitch before he
10:25
Speaker 3: gets two hundred ks is a disgusting number for a
10:28
Speaker 3: dude that's just twenty three, twenty four years old.
10:30
Speaker 4: Pretty sweet, gotta say it's that's pretty sweet. That's a
10:33
Speaker 4: crazy it's crazy statusy.
10:34
Speaker 2: We'd love you to check in at eight seven seven
10:36
Speaker 2: seven nine Nicola la dot com talking text time. We've
10:39
Speaker 2: buried the lead, can't can't hide it any longer. Today
10:42
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a big day at Packers camp because
10:44
Speaker 2: it's Rob Damofski's birthday.
10:46
Speaker 1: Let's go. Rob Damowski came sid Facebook Birthday.
10:52
Speaker 2: I believe yes are close together when it comes to
10:56
Speaker 2: birth your day.
10:57
Speaker 4: I know we should have joint that joint birthday parties.
10:59
Speaker 1: Well we are.
11:00
Speaker 3: We we're still planning, uh in eight years now when
11:05
Speaker 3: Geezer Paloza rolls through the state.
11:06
Speaker 1: Eight and a half, eight and a half, let's be honest,
11:09
Speaker 1: eight and a half, because I.
11:09
Speaker 4: Think it was didn't we start with the idea of
11:11
Speaker 4: Geezer Palooza to be like early spring to kick off summer,
11:16
Speaker 4: so it'll be kind of eight and a We had
11:18
Speaker 4: like six eight plus six months, that's all I'm saying.
11:21
Speaker 1: I don't know when when did we say that we
11:23
Speaker 1: were in.
11:24
Speaker 3: It was to oberate the birthday week of you turning
11:27
Speaker 3: fifty and me turning forty.
11:28
Speaker 4: Well, why we called it geezer this summer of Geeze.
11:30
Speaker 4: I guess anytime that summer. So I guess, yea, I
11:32
Speaker 4: eight eight and a half, Okay, I was just trying
11:35
Speaker 4: to be accurate.
11:36
Speaker 1: Sorry, I don't. I don't think you're being accurate. I don't.
11:39
Speaker 3: I don't believe that that was ever we're saying. We
11:41
Speaker 3: were going to do it over the week that you
11:43
Speaker 3: turned fifty and I turned forty. That's why we called
11:46
Speaker 3: it Geezer, just because when we talked about it, yours
11:49
Speaker 3: was on a Monday and mine was on a Friday. Right,
11:52
Speaker 3: But I just that was the whole week that we
11:54
Speaker 3: would roll Geezer Palooza. Okay, So I understand that you
11:57
Speaker 3: think that you like accurate summer road trip. You're clearly
12:02
Speaker 3: miss miss. I remember I misremembered our Geezer plues idea.
12:06
Speaker 3: I just thought that the planning wise, because it's going
12:08
Speaker 3: to be packers, you know, a week, it might be
12:10
Speaker 3: busy for us, so maybe we should try and do
12:12
Speaker 3: it like in July.
12:13
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just kind of just thrown it out there.
12:15
Speaker 4: That might be a good idea, you know, so I
12:17
Speaker 4: guess eight years. Yeah, the the clock is taking on
12:20
Speaker 4: Geezer Palooza. We have to start, we have to start
12:23
Speaker 4: getting on top of that.
12:23
Speaker 2: You can recover all you want, but just yeah, just
12:28
Speaker 2: randomly inserted geezer Palooza, and you want to start it
12:31
Speaker 2: months before the actual triggering events.
12:34
Speaker 4: I think it should be like this after I thought
12:36
Speaker 4: it was kind of like the whole summer culminating in
12:39
Speaker 4: like the last big blowout party of geezer Poluza, which
12:43
Speaker 4: would have been our birthdays.
12:45
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, that's kind of hight I
12:50
Speaker 1: don't know, it's not that great.
12:52
Speaker 2: Have you booked, Christopher crossed? You got a bunch of
12:54
Speaker 2: chairs and stuff, you got ready trip.
12:56
Speaker 1: It's a trip the Newmnium. Well in a lot of
13:00
Speaker 1: four a lot of four o'clocks.
13:03
Speaker 4: Early bird got to get some early bird specials special So.
13:06
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Billy.
13:07
Speaker 2: I know you don't like it, like all of us,
13:08
Speaker 2: you don't like making a big deal. Could have probably
13:10
Speaker 2: brought you some some snacks or something. But Billy, and
13:13
Speaker 2: he came in early because he's so dedicated.
13:15
Speaker 1: To the to the grind. That's why Packers Camp.
13:20
Speaker 2: The saddest news of the weekend was not the Brewers
13:22
Speaker 2: loss on Friday night. It was the passing of Don Nelson.
13:26
Speaker 2: Oh Nelly, a huge figure in Buck's history. You had
13:30
Speaker 2: to be alive at the time to see the impact
13:32
Speaker 2: that that guy had. One of the bigger coaches on
13:35
Speaker 2: the local coaching mount rushmore.
13:37
Speaker 1: Very successful.
13:38
Speaker 2: Didn't win a championship, but hugely successful and influential because
13:43
Speaker 2: the way he you know, the point forward stuff and
13:45
Speaker 2: he was kind of like a visionary with cooking up
13:48
Speaker 2: ways for to confound other teams, offensive schemes and stuff.
13:52
Speaker 2: Had an extended NBA career beyond Milwaukee and then was
13:56
Speaker 2: just retired in Hawaii. And I would say poor went
13:59
Speaker 2: out for Nelly, but it might be fire one.
14:01
Speaker 4: Up for now he's been sparking with Woody Harrelson and
14:06
Speaker 4: Willie Nelson and the whole poker table. There was tired
14:09
Speaker 4: life that guys sit back and talk about Farmer. This
14:12
Speaker 4: is what we're gonna do at some point.
14:13
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, gentleman weed farmer and just but the impact that
14:18
Speaker 2: he had and from wearing the fashion with the fish tie.
14:21
Speaker 2: The fish was a big deal, big deal back in
14:24
Speaker 2: the day.
14:24
Speaker 1: He had those fish dies.
14:25
Speaker 2: He wore the It was one of the first guys,
14:27
Speaker 2: you know, the coaches versus cancer. He wore the sneaks
14:30
Speaker 2: on the sidelines and had to cover up the logos.
14:33
Speaker 1: They made him cover up the logos back in the day.
14:35
Speaker 2: The fish tie, and then the Farmer's Fund when he
14:37
Speaker 2: was riding tractors around the state raising money for farmers
14:40
Speaker 2: and stuff. Was just a very very impactful guy.
14:44
Speaker 1: Sad to see him go. He had a good run
14:46
Speaker 1: in eighty six.
14:46
Speaker 4: But man, and you mentioned one and you mentioned basketball
14:50
Speaker 4: visionary and one of the early guys to go inside
14:52
Speaker 4: out and kind of inverse everything on the on the
14:55
Speaker 4: offensive floor, and obviously you know that was like the
14:57
Speaker 4: Marcus Johnson point forward thing. You mentioned it, and the
15:00
Speaker 4: Bucks had a lot more flow through there. But a
15:02
Speaker 4: really good coach in an era of Bucks basketball. I always,
15:06
Speaker 4: I always liked to look back on, even though I
15:07
Speaker 4: wasn't alive for or conscious for uh Drew and Billy,
15:11
Speaker 4: But one I always talk about in terms of comparing
15:14
Speaker 4: the way our sports culture attitude has changed, right because
15:17
Speaker 4: the Bucks were very, very good every year but never
15:19
Speaker 4: could break through to win at all. But and I
15:22
Speaker 4: always ask you about this, Drew, what was the feeling like.
15:24
Speaker 2: When no one said anybody had to be fired? It
15:26
Speaker 2: was like, damn, we go along, we'll get him next year.
15:28
Speaker 4: It was like everybody had this kind of No one
15:30
Speaker 4: was all yeah, it was like it.
15:32
Speaker 1: We loved it. Would win fifty.
15:34
Speaker 2: Five sixty games a year, and then they would go up
15:37
Speaker 2: against one of the greatest franchises you know, ever with
15:39
Speaker 2: the Celtics, and then once in a while the Sixers
15:41
Speaker 2: would slip through the East Behemoth. Basically, yeah, it was
15:45
Speaker 2: and it wasn't. It was never like oh they got
15:47
Speaker 2: a trade people or this guy or that guy was
15:50
Speaker 2: They were always scrappy underdogs, kind of uh lightly regarded
15:54
Speaker 2: like that great players. Ask anybody who played at that
15:56
Speaker 2: time what it was like facing Marcus Johnson or City
15:59
Speaker 2: mock Grief and tell you how awesome they were. Totally
16:02
Speaker 2: was yes, And then you know, but Ashley, they didn't
16:05
Speaker 2: get a lot of run. They were the scrappy underdogs
16:07
Speaker 2: and it just couldn't break through.
16:09
Speaker 3: Sidney Mincreeve is one of the most underrated players of
16:12
Speaker 3: that time. But people that were watching the game, and
16:14
Speaker 3: in the game knew just how dominant and how great
16:17
Speaker 3: he was, and.
16:18
Speaker 1: And you mentioned it.
16:19
Speaker 3: You go up against the of the Celtics who Nelly
16:22
Speaker 3: played for for so long, like one of one of
16:24
Speaker 3: the other great storylines that would have been played up
16:26
Speaker 3: a ton here, and then in the midst they're like
16:29
Speaker 3: you said, oh yeah, by the way, the Sixers who
16:31
Speaker 3: just might have had that point one of the best
16:33
Speaker 3: runs and best seasons in NBA history, like it is
16:37
Speaker 3: one that was one of the best teams of all time,
16:40
Speaker 3: and and the Bucks were right there. It's one of
16:43
Speaker 3: the more understated feels or undertold stories that eighties run
16:47
Speaker 3: of teams in the East is a lot of what
16:49
Speaker 3: happened to teams in the nineties when you just come
16:51
Speaker 3: annually ran up into Jordan.
16:53
Speaker 1: But that story gets told a lot more.
16:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely it does because of Jordan mostly and the
16:57
Speaker 4: fact that there was one dynasty and the fact that
16:59
Speaker 4: it's a little more and see, you know, I guess
17:02
Speaker 4: recent history, but Bucks, for sure, I would say, consensus
17:05
Speaker 4: the best team in the eighties that didn't win a title.
17:07
Speaker 1: And you said it.
17:09
Speaker 4: I mean even in eighty three, the Bucks swept the
17:12
Speaker 4: Celtics in the playoffs.
17:13
Speaker 1: Now, think about how art that would have been. Back then.
17:15
Speaker 4: The Celtics were one two years removed from their first
17:17
Speaker 4: title in the eighties and one year from their next one.
17:20
Speaker 4: And they swept that Celtics team and then had to
17:23
Speaker 4: run up against the Sixers, which eighty three Sixers, as
17:25
Speaker 4: you mentioned, guys and drew, probably one of the best
17:29
Speaker 4: teams in NBA history. And then it was the eighty
17:31
Speaker 4: six Celtics and then you know how that goes. The
17:33
Speaker 4: Bucks lost to them. So it's just the reality of it.
17:36
Speaker 4: And Nelly's last team was the eighty seven Bucks, who
17:39
Speaker 4: I think came closest to and I always talk about
17:41
Speaker 4: this when Billy knows when that game's on, I get
17:43
Speaker 4: kind of arrested and paralyzed by watching it. But the
17:46
Speaker 4: Bucks were very close to knocking them off in eighty seven.
17:48
Speaker 4: They had them on the ropes late in Game seven
17:50
Speaker 4: in the Garden and ultimately, you know, Jerry Seichting and
17:54
Speaker 4: Larry Burden and stuff saved them. So the Bucks almost
17:56
Speaker 4: had the Celtics in eighty seven. That means you would
17:59
Speaker 4: never have seen the famous likes uh Magic Johnson baby
18:03
Speaker 4: skyhook in the eighty seven finals. It would never been
18:05
Speaker 4: this steel by bird underneath the DJ all that would
18:08
Speaker 4: have never happened. The Bucks would have beat that team
18:10
Speaker 4: in the second round and moved on to these from
18:11
Speaker 4: conference finals and then who knows what would have happened.
18:14
Speaker 1: So that was kind of don Nelson's last run.
18:16
Speaker 4: That eighty seven Bucks team Jack Smickett sickmun had a
18:18
Speaker 4: really good year that year. So all memories of a
18:20
Speaker 4: visionary coach, second winning is coach in NBA history. I
18:23
Speaker 4: don't know how many people knew that either. Yeah, you retired
18:25
Speaker 4: at the top. Yeah, so yeah, fantastic run with multiple teams.
18:29
Speaker 4: Don Nelson like out, huge end, huge come on, and
18:34
Speaker 4: you know he he changed his game throughout the movie
18:37
Speaker 4: with the Bucks. It was mon Creef and Sigma and
18:39
Speaker 4: Sigmund was inside outside but he was tough and he
18:42
Speaker 4: was getting rebound.
18:43
Speaker 1: Man.
18:43
Speaker 4: That was a fun If you ever go back and
18:45
Speaker 4: you're bored, go back and watch that series. That was
18:47
Speaker 4: a fun series.
18:47
Speaker 3: So we need to uh somehow one of these beautiful
18:51
Speaker 3: digital uh networks, you know, like an NFL Films version
18:55
Speaker 3: for the NBA. We need to remake digitally and clean
19:00
Speaker 3: up the broadcast of some of these eighties basketball games
19:03
Speaker 3: because people need to be able to see Moses Malone.
19:06
Speaker 1: Moses. I mean, if you look.
19:08
Speaker 3: At the numbers that Moses Malone put up is some
19:11
Speaker 3: of the most disgusting stuff for human beings, like thirty
19:14
Speaker 3: five and under that never will be seen and on earth.
19:17
Speaker 3: Because right now Larry Bird's going through a different little
19:19
Speaker 3: bit of a renaissance as well. Sure people are understanding, Hey,
19:22
Speaker 3: if Larry Bird played today, I'm night break every shooting
19:25
Speaker 3: record of all time, he might be the most famous
19:27
Speaker 3: player of all time for how much crap you would
19:29
Speaker 3: have talked and how good he would have shot, and
19:31
Speaker 3: how much he would have been able to shoot.
19:33
Speaker 1: But the chairman of the boards was a different deal.
19:36
Speaker 1: It was Octobal.
19:38
Speaker 3: Moses Malone's numbers are so disgusting when you look at
19:40
Speaker 3: his thirty and fifteen that he's putting up for like
19:42
Speaker 3: three consecutive years.
19:43
Speaker 4: And he was kind of like he came out of
19:45
Speaker 4: high school. So guys weren't doing that back then. It
19:48
Speaker 4: was a super that no one did it until Garnett,
19:50
Speaker 4: I think, and he was a buck for a while
19:52
Speaker 4: at the end of his career.
19:52
Speaker 1: Moses Malone, he's a couple of years with the Buck. Yeah,
19:55
Speaker 1: near the end.
19:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I remember that because I remember my dad said.
20:01
Speaker 4: We were sitting way up in the Bradley Center and
20:03
Speaker 4: it was like ninety two or ninety three whatever year
20:04
Speaker 4: Moses was there, and it's a super old veteran and
20:07
Speaker 4: my dad said, boy, we're getting old. I'm getting old
20:09
Speaker 4: because Moses is getting bald. He could see it from
20:12
Speaker 4: where we were and the nosebleeds. That was kind of
20:14
Speaker 4: his funny thing. But you're right, Billy, these younger days,
20:17
Speaker 4: he was a beast. So yeah, those are good. Those
20:20
Speaker 4: are good memories for a lot of people. Yeah, and
20:22
Speaker 4: Nelly's part of that and one of the best runs
20:25
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee sports that I guess we forget about because
20:27
Speaker 4: we only remember titles. But those eighty years under him,
20:30
Speaker 4: those Place to be An was rocking all the time.
20:33
Speaker 1: It was funny.
20:33
Speaker 2: Also, like I said, pour one out or spark went up,
20:36
Speaker 2: or pay tribute however you feel appropriate for Don Nelson.
20:40
Speaker 1: That's a great round, dude, eighty six years old. That's
20:42
Speaker 1: an incredible, incredible run. One to celebrate.
20:44
Speaker 2: Amen, Right, we have one hundred Bombguard's recap of the
20:47
Speaker 2: Brewers series clinching victory yesterday at American Family Field. Brewers
20:53
Speaker 2: on a big road trip, big measuring stick road trip
20:55
Speaker 2: with the Padres and the Dodgers. This week we got
20:57
Speaker 2: Packers news is the Packers getting ready to play the
20:59
Speaker 2: Stillers on Thursday nights the exhibition opener. We got the
21:03
Speaker 2: Badgers in camp, high school footballs in the air. State
21:06
Speaker 2: Fair is going on. We had some weather yesterday. We
21:09
Speaker 2: got plenty of unpack today. So get yourself comfortable chair
21:12
Speaker 2: and a cold drink or a hot drink, your choice,
21:14
Speaker 2: whatever you like in the morning to get you going.
21:16
Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio.
21:18
Speaker 2: Wisconsin, our Rheart Radio me a little cloud on the horizon.
21:23
Speaker 1: The injuries, yeah.
21:24
Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of it, Drew, especially when
21:28
Speaker 3: they happen in bunches, and it seems like poor Jet Williams,
21:32
Speaker 3: he keeps getting danged up. Every time that something would
21:35
Speaker 3: be allowing him to get a chance in the big
21:37
Speaker 3: league club.
21:38
Speaker 1: He catches a straight out there in Nashville.
21:41
Speaker 2: I think that hurt his trade value because I think
21:44
Speaker 2: his name was mentioned to be thrown into some packages
21:46
Speaker 2: at the deadline.
21:47
Speaker 1: I agree, and his stock fell because he.
21:49
Speaker 2: Hasn't shown anything in the big leagues yet this year
21:51
Speaker 2: because he's been hurt every time.
21:52
Speaker 1: They wanted to give him a call, and that's why
21:54
Speaker 1: they signed Bay.
21:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed like that was going to be the case,
21:57
Speaker 3: and then he gets pulled in and has an injury
22:00
Speaker 3: as well because his power.
22:01
Speaker 1: Man, I mean, Andrew Fisher.
22:03
Speaker 3: Said it on on File Territory a couple months ago,
22:05
Speaker 3: jad Williams is gonna be manning third base and hitting
22:07
Speaker 3: bombs in the playoffs.
22:09
Speaker 4: Oh okay, sounds good, like the confidence good, but he
22:14
Speaker 4: just hadn't been able to stay up here. And maybe
22:16
Speaker 4: it can quell some of the people online that were like,
22:18
Speaker 4: why does Pat Murphy hate Joey Ortiz so much?
22:21
Speaker 2: Having Pratt go down at the same time, like Ortiz
22:24
Speaker 2: is maybe going down with that ding. Yeah, so it's
22:27
Speaker 2: like that weekends and everybody, Oh great, Vaughan can play
22:30
Speaker 2: now every day and again like, first of all, you're
22:34
Speaker 2: not gonna get that experiment at third base.
22:36
Speaker 1: Eventually, ball gonna find you.
22:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's gonna cost him and go ahead and
22:40
Speaker 2: like to give the Dodgers and Padres.
22:43
Speaker 1: Extra outs and see what happens.
22:44
Speaker 3: Well, and it's a lot easier to hide him over
22:46
Speaker 3: at third base when you get missed, maybe put six
22:48
Speaker 3: balls in play for exactly.
22:50
Speaker 2: That's kind of a soft landing. But that's not a
22:52
Speaker 2: permanent solution though people love it. And again, part of
22:55
Speaker 2: the reason that you love Andrew Vaughn and that you
22:58
Speaker 2: know that you think you should be playing more and
22:59
Speaker 2: all those guys because the way they manage things, the
23:01
Speaker 2: way the matchups that they get them in.
23:03
Speaker 1: And that's what.
23:04
Speaker 2: Again we talked about it last week that people are like,
23:07
Speaker 2: why are this guy playing every day? Because if you
23:08
Speaker 2: played every day, you wouldn't like him as much.
23:09
Speaker 3: It wouldn't it wouldn't work as well. Now would it
23:12
Speaker 3: surprise you if they went for just like the biggest
23:14
Speaker 3: lottery ticket and went even lower in triple A or
23:18
Speaker 3: into the minor league system to try to grab somebody
23:20
Speaker 3: if or Teas has to miss like a couple of weeks.
23:23
Speaker 1: Are you're talking about bringing up my day and moving
23:25
Speaker 1: rang a short?
23:26
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I wouldn't be against that. I would
23:28
Speaker 3: also think Fisher maybe over a third would be a
23:30
Speaker 3: name like I just I wonder if it.
23:33
Speaker 1: Special seasons are made of special stories. Franchise coined that one.
23:36
Speaker 3: A long time ago, that would be one of the
23:38
Speaker 3: most special stories you would have. But when I saw
23:41
Speaker 3: Bryce Terrang dusting off the shortstop glove a little bit
23:46
Speaker 3: later into the game, you just think about it. You
23:48
Speaker 3: wonder how far they're gonna go. But listen, if Bay's
23:51
Speaker 3: gonna come up here and be able to bunt for
23:54
Speaker 3: Murph and two guys David Hamilton and Bay that he
23:57
Speaker 3: can drop down bunt sign too, I think that is
24:01
Speaker 3: going to be here to stay.
24:01
Speaker 4: Whatever happened in the days when they were worried about
24:04
Speaker 4: you know, well, if you bring a guy up too early,
24:06
Speaker 4: it's going to ruin his confidence, and you don't want
24:08
Speaker 4: to do that. I mean, it seems like we're not
24:09
Speaker 4: really worried about that as much anymore, maybe because it's
24:12
Speaker 4: been going so well for the Brewers in terms of
24:14
Speaker 4: bringing up prospects.
24:15
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
24:16
Speaker 4: I once upon a time that was always a concern.
24:18
Speaker 4: I remember people saying, well, you know, this guy's young
24:21
Speaker 4: and talented, but you can't bring him up too early.
24:24
Speaker 4: But you know, maybe it's different now right now for
24:26
Speaker 4: the Brewers because you're in this type of race, you're
24:29
Speaker 4: you're you're you're aiming at lofty goals here, so maybe
24:32
Speaker 4: for a stretch run you could, But I kind of agree.
24:35
Speaker 4: I think they're just gonna hope for the stop gap
24:37
Speaker 4: to work now and then let guys get healthy.
24:39
Speaker 1: We'll see.
24:41
Speaker 4: It just shows why you always need depth, I guess
24:43
Speaker 4: at the major league level, because these things always happen.
24:45
Speaker 4: Guys will get dinged up, nicked up over the year
24:47
Speaker 4: of the over the years, so it's just gonna It's
24:49
Speaker 4: just gonna happen. Does does south Freelick once he hits
24:53
Speaker 4: his rehabs a couple of.
24:56
Speaker 1: They kind of said he's going to be down for
24:57
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks.
24:58
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
24:59
Speaker 2: The thing about that's why when you got these log
25:02
Speaker 2: jams and we had we're getting emails or texts eight
25:05
Speaker 2: seven seven seven, we're getting them last week about what
25:08
Speaker 2: are you gonna do with Lockridge comes back. It's just like,
25:09
Speaker 2: wait a minute, somebody else will get hurt. Yeah, that's
25:11
Speaker 2: why you don't sweat it like ten days out, like
25:13
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen when Frela comes back, somebody else will
25:15
Speaker 2: be hurt. Yeah, it's gonna somebody also follow the ball
25:18
Speaker 2: off their ship or Louis Laura's going he's going to
25:21
Speaker 2: be thinged up in the next week and a half.
25:23
Speaker 1: That man does not fear anything.
25:24
Speaker 2: When he hit the wall, like pretty much twice, but
25:27
Speaker 2: that second time especially, I was like, oh man, yeah, that.
25:29
Speaker 4: Would look like a good busting a show. I mean
25:31
Speaker 4: looked like it might have bust in his shoulder. I
25:32
Speaker 4: don't know, he's gonna be sore for shore this morning,
25:34
Speaker 4: but you're right, it seems like the way he plays,
25:36
Speaker 4: and you like guys that play with that type of
25:38
Speaker 4: passion and a band.
25:39
Speaker 1: That's why we love him. But you know, it is
25:41
Speaker 1: a concern.
25:42
Speaker 4: You know. It was sort of like that with starting pictures.
25:44
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was what it was it
25:46
Speaker 4: last year. Maybe there was a time when we thought
25:48
Speaker 4: we had like eight starting pictures and like, well, we
25:50
Speaker 4: gonna how did and get all these guys in?
25:51
Speaker 1: It takes care of itself. It always does, does It
25:53
Speaker 1: always does. It tends to, I mean, just wildness.
25:58
Speaker 4: So Brian Gorman jumped in really quick on the Facebook comments,
26:01
Speaker 4: good morning, I wish they call it Fisher and see
26:03
Speaker 4: what we got. It's not common for a full season,
26:04
Speaker 4: so why not? So you have comments like that rolling
26:07
Speaker 4: through as well well.
26:08
Speaker 3: That's the thing, right, It wouldn't It wouldn't count as
26:10
Speaker 3: the season. Garrett Mitchell came up right around this time,
26:14
Speaker 3: right middle of August, late August, and they were in
26:17
Speaker 3: the stretch run.
26:18
Speaker 1: Was that twenty two or twenty three? Great use that post?
26:21
Speaker 3: Would that have been post hater trade to try to
26:24
Speaker 3: get a little bit of juice and a little bit
26:26
Speaker 3: of goodwill with fans. It was twenty two, so maybe
26:28
Speaker 3: that would have something to do with it. I just
26:30
Speaker 3: I think there's a shot for a extremely special player
26:35
Speaker 3: to make a leap. And we saw Fisher hit big
26:37
Speaker 3: league pitching during the WBC. Is it the best big
26:40
Speaker 3: league pitching you're gonna see?
26:42
Speaker 4: No?
26:42
Speaker 3: But I mean, like the reps inside of the Major
26:45
Speaker 3: league stadium, I think there would be something there. They
26:47
Speaker 3: did just move up Burke the first basement from that
26:50
Speaker 3: Shuckers team. That's the other part. That Shuckers team is
26:52
Speaker 3: just hitting so damn well. I want to see if
26:54
Speaker 3: it works outside of Bloxi or if they're just so
26:57
Speaker 3: energized by seeing people walk out of the seven or
26:59
Speaker 3: eight casinos down that stretch in Biloxi. Yeah, they're just
27:02
Speaker 3: always hitting taters. I don't know where that energy rolls
27:06
Speaker 3: to send that those Knoxville kids are gonna have fun
27:08
Speaker 3: in Nashville, though. Blake Burg, Tennessee evolve Andrew Fisher, Tennessee volve.
27:13
Speaker 3: So maybe he doesn't want to skip Triple A that's
27:15
Speaker 3: the spot. He might want to stay for a little
27:17
Speaker 3: longer and enjoy himself. But it would be an interesting one, Drew,
27:21
Speaker 3: if they're looking to bring somebody up from this this
27:24
Speaker 3: farm system that's so allauded. If it's only Jet Williams
27:26
Speaker 3: that they're looking at right now in that infield, a
27:28
Speaker 3: lot of guys, is this number?
27:29
Speaker 2: Seven one five? Is this Mike and Merrill? Did you
27:31
Speaker 2: tell me? Is this the yeah?
27:32
Speaker 3: Seven one five, nine nine, Oh, that's our that's Mike.
27:35
Speaker 3: I can't figure out how to change the name on
27:38
Speaker 3: the text line. One of these days, I'm going to
27:39
Speaker 3: figure it out.
27:40
Speaker 2: Well, he's saying that after the uh, the Twins intentionally
27:44
Speaker 2: walked Mitchell to open the tenth with sput runners at
27:47
Speaker 2: first second, And I don't know why more.
27:48
Speaker 1: Teams don't do that.
27:49
Speaker 2: By the way, that's the move in a tai game,
27:52
Speaker 2: like to set up that double play and give yourself
27:54
Speaker 2: forces options. Anyway, he said, Contraller should have bunted to
27:57
Speaker 2: advance Terrang the third. Instead, he's struck out on three
28:00
Speaker 2: three pitches, only two were in the zone and the
28:01
Speaker 2: third pitch was a foot outside and low.
28:04
Speaker 1: It looked like crap.
28:05
Speaker 2: Their fortunate Bowers picked him up with a key hit
28:07
Speaker 2: to scorts Rang and win the game. Savis Bacon need
28:09
Speaker 2: to be bigger and then an individual do what's best
28:12
Speaker 2: for the team. Bench was totally depleted and would have
28:14
Speaker 2: been screwed if it went another two three, and they
28:17
Speaker 2: would already remove their dheah. They need every single game
28:20
Speaker 2: to keep on distancing themselves from the Cubs Atlanta in LA. Well,
28:24
Speaker 2: here's the flaw in that, and I see it and
28:26
Speaker 2: I know it, and we hear it all the time. Arman,
28:28
Speaker 2: if you might, if you could do the research, if
28:30
Speaker 2: you could call up William Contreras's all time career stats. Yes,
28:35
Speaker 2: I'm willing to wager he has zero and maybe one
28:39
Speaker 2: sacrifice bunts in his in his career, in his career, Yes,
28:43
Speaker 2: it would be in that conversation thinking it might be
28:45
Speaker 2: zero sacrifice bunts.
28:47
Speaker 1: He has one in twenty twenty three.
28:50
Speaker 4: Zero career bunt heads for practically zero sacrifice bunt attempts
28:53
Speaker 4: over his entire career.
28:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, one successful sack bunt in twenty sackets according to Baseball. Also, like,
28:59
Speaker 3: if it works perfectly, you're advancing the runners and giving
29:01
Speaker 3: the out away and taking the bat out of your
29:03
Speaker 3: one of your best hitters hands.
29:04
Speaker 2: That's well exactly you maneuver to get you want. And
29:08
Speaker 2: he hasn't been there, one of the man he's been cold.
29:10
Speaker 2: I understand that really cool. The right thing is like
29:13
Speaker 2: people discount the bad things that can happen, a pop
29:16
Speaker 2: up into a double play, a bunt that gets the
29:19
Speaker 2: lead runner out, and then you have a slower guy
29:21
Speaker 2: at first base than you will, like you know, it's.
29:23
Speaker 3: All that goes off of your catcher's hand, who's already
29:25
Speaker 3: got a broken digit on there that he's played for
29:27
Speaker 3: it this last year.
29:28
Speaker 2: And I just don't you managed to get guys like
29:32
Speaker 2: Contraras up with runners in scoring position and then you
29:34
Speaker 2: have it and you know you're going to score in
29:37
Speaker 2: that you have a fast guy at second base that's
29:39
Speaker 2: going to score, right.
29:39
Speaker 3: So yeah, what I totally get it. I know, I
29:43
Speaker 3: know it's the way the gager, it's the way the
29:45
Speaker 3: game used to be played and there's a frustration with
29:47
Speaker 3: how it is played. Now there is the development of Drew,
29:51
Speaker 3: not only just in the majors. How many times has
29:53
Speaker 3: William Contreras bunted in his freaking life life? And that's
29:57
Speaker 3: the one that I would always get upset about when
29:59
Speaker 3: I do in the host game of you're asking the
30:01
Speaker 3: guy that's always been a three or four hitter that's
30:03
Speaker 3: never been a bunter to go bunt in the biggest situation.
30:06
Speaker 3: He's got a better chance of spiking a slow liner
30:09
Speaker 3: or slow grounder into the kurt and being able to
30:11
Speaker 3: leg it out over the first.
30:12
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you're it just uh and not for nothing. You're
30:16
Speaker 2: facing a closer when they have wicked stuff these days.
30:19
Speaker 2: It's just not automatic like people think it a good
30:22
Speaker 2: idea in theory. Yeah, but then someone's got to get
30:25
Speaker 2: either a hit or a productive out and we've seen
30:27
Speaker 2: that dry up as well.
30:28
Speaker 1: Absolutely does at second is to.
30:31
Speaker 2: Me almost as good as being ninety feet away because
30:33
Speaker 2: I scores, I'm just about everything.
30:34
Speaker 3: Because he gets good reason, he's fast, and he's fast,
30:36
Speaker 3: he's a great base runner. I think Mike's thought though,
30:39
Speaker 3: did play into and I'd love to know if they
30:42
Speaker 3: got the quote of it after the game. I would
30:44
Speaker 3: wonder if it played into the send right, because you're
30:46
Speaker 3: you're seeing the ball get hit off Bowers as bad.
30:49
Speaker 3: I'm thinking immediately first second bases loaded with one out
30:53
Speaker 3: and they're wheeling them around, but know one the pitcher
30:55
Speaker 3: spot's coming up, you might as your best opportunity actually
30:58
Speaker 3: is send them around.
30:59
Speaker 1: So they're thinking about it.
31:00
Speaker 2: They had a pinch run and used their uh they
31:02
Speaker 2: were their pictures were hitting.
31:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, sitting over there, and.
31:07
Speaker 4: That was a shot. I think you're absolutely right, Billy.
31:11
Speaker 4: That's they probably made that decision because it was like
31:13
Speaker 4: that was a shallow hit too, and that the throw
31:15
Speaker 4: was pretty good. That was just great bait. That's what
31:21
Speaker 4: I chose to focus on. Not that we didn't bunt.
31:24
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I mean, you're not gonna get me to
31:25
Speaker 4: focus on something negative.
31:27
Speaker 1: But you could look at that.
31:28
Speaker 4: You could say that the twin shouldn't have walked Mitchell
31:30
Speaker 4: in because he was hasn't been hitting well. I mean,
31:33
Speaker 4: Garrett Mitchell's been kind of cold, so you could you
31:34
Speaker 4: could turn that logic around both ways. That's the way
31:37
Speaker 4: I look at I don't know, and I want to
31:38
Speaker 4: give credits to Dobbler, who had been quiet for a
31:40
Speaker 4: month and a half and now that Mitchell is struggling
31:42
Speaker 4: a little bit. Said, it's always a mess with the
31:44
Speaker 4: strikeout king Gary Mitchell playing only you Dobbler. I have
31:47
Speaker 4: to give you a lot of credit coming in and
31:48
Speaker 4: finding a way to wait in the weeds for a
31:50
Speaker 4: month and a half and finally have a tough stread
31:53
Speaker 4: to come in and get shot.
31:55
Speaker 2: Not great, and he wasn't great on the Friday night
31:59
Speaker 2: calling wause he didn't have a hit him.
32:01
Speaker 3: It wasn't He just wasn't great. No, he's been slumping
32:03
Speaker 3: a little bit, that's for sure. The not covering home plate.
32:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, said he's had his h he's been in a
32:08
Speaker 2: fog and hopefully it'll lift. But yeah, I can't get
32:12
Speaker 2: behind the bunting thing there because it's like I said,
32:14
Speaker 2: he just hasn't done it and it's not automatic and
32:17
Speaker 2: I and then Derek chimes and well maybe if they
32:20
Speaker 2: paid the more they'd added to their game and spend time.
32:23
Speaker 1: Okay, the money, that's the money, that's the problem, Derek.
32:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem. They need to pay him more. Like,
32:29
Speaker 2: come on, man, it's like they won the.
32:31
Speaker 1: Damn game fan, we find a way.
32:33
Speaker 2: The bunting the bunting police is just so funny. I mean,
32:37
Speaker 2: I had we bunted more than anybody too. I did
32:40
Speaker 2: a post game show one time and I absolutely deconstruct
32:43
Speaker 2: somebody who was the fat catcher they had years ago.
32:46
Speaker 1: They've had many before then, Blanco. No, it wasn't Henry.
32:52
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to go back and look, but it
32:53
Speaker 2: was a really one of the slowest guys in ball
32:56
Speaker 2: was the Burgers backup catcher, and he was on and
32:58
Speaker 2: this guy's told me that they they should have bunted
33:00
Speaker 2: him to second base, and I'm like, it still takes
33:02
Speaker 2: three hits to score that guy from second.
33:04
Speaker 1: Base, right, what are you talking about? That's good?
33:07
Speaker 2: And it was, yeah, man, it was so I eviscerated
33:10
Speaker 2: some dude on It might have been your buddy Tim
33:13
Speaker 2: and Racine.
33:14
Speaker 1: Now Baco ran pretty well. I guess you're right. It
33:16
Speaker 1: was a different era. Yeah, it wasn't.
33:19
Speaker 2: I'll find it. I'll find the guy. But it was, man. Yeah,
33:23
Speaker 2: it was one of those deals, like what you're going
33:24
Speaker 2: to give up an out to put the slowest guy
33:26
Speaker 2: in the league on second base where it still takes
33:28
Speaker 2: two hits to score him. Yeah, I just that's why
33:31
Speaker 2: they didn't bunt, and guys like well, I think they
33:33
Speaker 2: should be automatic.
33:33
Speaker 3: No, it shouldn't. You have to look at the circumstance. Yeah,
33:36
Speaker 3: it's tough, it's well, and it is a lot easier
33:39
Speaker 3: to bunt in you twelve, I understand, And I just
33:42
Speaker 3: went facing closer still. Yeah, and I just struggle when
33:45
Speaker 3: you are. And it's not that they don't pay them more. Again,
33:49
Speaker 3: maybe he was getting paid when he was sixteen years old,
33:52
Speaker 3: but even American players in high schools aren't bunting. Like No,
33:57
Speaker 3: no kid who's going to have a chance to be
33:59
Speaker 3: drafted in the time ten rounds is their manager asking
34:02
Speaker 3: him to lay one down in that.
34:03
Speaker 4: Site because coaches see has a wasted time during wasted
34:06
Speaker 4: their practice time, wasted their time.
34:07
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that that's the case. I'm talking
34:09
Speaker 3: about in games, arman. I'm talking about in games. If
34:12
Speaker 3: you're one of those players, they're asking for you to
34:14
Speaker 3: hit the ball. They're asking for you to be able
34:16
Speaker 3: to swing away and hit something into the gap.
34:19
Speaker 1: But Contrera's has been.
34:21
Speaker 3: Again, if there's anybody that should be sending yellish an
34:23
Speaker 3: edible arrangement for taking all the heat away from him
34:26
Speaker 3: for the last forty five days July and August. He's
34:29
Speaker 3: a one seventy hitter with a five hundred ops. He's
34:35
Speaker 3: got two great swings to two long balls. But while
34:37
Speaker 3: everybody is continuing to jump all over the yellow strain,
34:40
Speaker 3: Contreras are just liding right underneath everybody else's higher. Because
34:45
Speaker 3: I haven't heard one person asking to drop him down
34:47
Speaker 3: in a list. Exactly exactly interesting, how that one, How
34:51
Speaker 3: that works?
34:51
Speaker 1: He's slipping that.
34:52
Speaker 2: That's great leadership by Christian Yelich to be in a
34:54
Speaker 2: slump and take all of the abuse.
34:56
Speaker 1: Will Contraras just skates and goes like yah, I'm I'm
34:59
Speaker 1: sure he.
35:00
Speaker 3: It was the same way he was a five hundred
35:01
Speaker 3: ops guy in July. Now he's definitely built up. Yeah,
35:04
Speaker 3: now he's the mayor of the binges Dingdong City. If
35:07
Speaker 3: take that one away from us rabbitshaw for the last
35:09
Speaker 3: six days. So absolutely the best bats they're gonna acquire
35:12
Speaker 3: Drew are their own actually hitting. But I was having
35:15
Speaker 3: this conversation with a friend of mine yesterday. It's like,
35:17
Speaker 3: I'm very okay, if right now you're relying on your
35:20
Speaker 3: your bats to keep you the lower bats to be
35:23
Speaker 3: able to keep you alive. As long as in September
35:25
Speaker 3: we can wake some of these things up and maybe
35:27
Speaker 3: have the inverse what we've seen the last three postseason.
35:29
Speaker 1: That would be.
35:29
Speaker 2: Nice eight seven, seven, nine three nicolay Law dot Com
35:34
Speaker 2: talking text And when we come back, we're gonna hear
35:35
Speaker 2: Hunter bomb guards recap of the Brewers victory over the Twins.
35:39
Speaker 1: Yesterday.
35:40
Speaker 2: Hunter joins us live at seven twenty five. You're in
35:42
Speaker 2: the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
35:45
Speaker 1: Hackers football is back. He had entered the game as
35:48
Speaker 1: the backup catcher and like they have.
35:49
Speaker 2: An out of catchers, He's on first base late late
35:53
Speaker 2: in the game and someone wanted to bunt it over
35:55
Speaker 2: to second.
35:56
Speaker 3: All right, Drew, that looks a lot more like Harman, sorry,
35:58
Speaker 3: and than self free like that doesn't Yes, I remember
36:03
Speaker 3: people used to say, looking a lot more like yeah,
36:06
Speaker 3: Harmond sorry. And now budgeting in a couple, you know,
36:10
Speaker 3: fifty pounds or so, that's fair.
36:13
Speaker 1: I think that's that's a decent That's a decent Arman. Sorry,
36:16
Speaker 1: look alike.
36:16
Speaker 4: Right, I wasn't always liked in the clubhouse. Is that
36:19
Speaker 4: am I remembering that wrong, Drew or was he kind.
36:21
Speaker 1: Of like not even have much of an impact either way?
36:25
Speaker 1: But all right, maybe I'm Ron don't.
36:28
Speaker 4: I don't want to put something on somebody.
36:29
Speaker 1: That looks like me, right, Billy, Yeah I would.
36:32
Speaker 4: I'm figuring you cast up as much as possible. And
36:37
Speaker 4: there was an excitement though. I remember we were like, oh,
36:39
Speaker 4: we got an offensive catcher because he had one really
36:41
Speaker 4: good year in Atlanta. And then it was like all
36:43
Speaker 4: the Brewers have a boppera at catcher now and he
36:46
Speaker 4: rolled up and get like a minus one and a
36:48
Speaker 4: half war with us, whatever it goes.
36:52
Speaker 1: Roger and okam.
36:53
Speaker 3: Before we get to a hunter's recap assed first time Texter,
36:56
Speaker 3: longtime listener, guys, I was wondering, what about a double
36:59
Speaker 3: steel in that situation with Contreras in the right handed
37:02
Speaker 3: batter's box.
37:03
Speaker 1: Does that make it more difficult? I mean, Sorang the
37:05
Speaker 1: lead runner. I guess that would be. It would be.
37:08
Speaker 3: I think there's a much better chance Roger than pulling
37:11
Speaker 3: off a double steal in Contrera's a sack punt. That's
37:13
Speaker 3: probably true, right, Like, I don't know that they would
37:16
Speaker 3: they even throw through?
37:17
Speaker 1: Would they throw I don't know what they would do.
37:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they would have tried to throw down, and
37:20
Speaker 3: then you're also allowing yourself with one with no out's
37:23
Speaker 3: two shots at a sack fly to win it. That's
37:26
Speaker 3: that a better idea, Roger, I think than laying down
37:29
Speaker 3: a sack punt with a with a William contraras neither
37:31
Speaker 3: one probably happening after Jake Bauers decided to arms from
37:34
Speaker 3: just a game in that circumstance, didn't he steal in
37:36
Speaker 3: try to steal throw but hate to make you'd hate
37:40
Speaker 3: to make an out on the basis when you got
37:41
Speaker 3: this gift especial, especially when you hold in your leading
37:44
Speaker 3: right because a lot of times you're down in that situation,
37:47
Speaker 3: because most teams run around second.
37:49
Speaker 1: Score a lot, you're a down one.
37:51
Speaker 3: The double steal is probably and this is the bottom
37:53
Speaker 3: of the ninth inning or so even into the tenth thinning,
37:55
Speaker 3: you're trying to be able to steal the game.
37:57
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a different conversation.
37:58
Speaker 3: Like you said, yeah, you're setting yourself up for a
38:00
Speaker 3: game winner on a base at interesting thought. Interesting, let's
38:04
Speaker 3: go to Hunter Bombgart's recap of yesterday's proceedings, brought to
38:07
Speaker 3: us by import Minded take it away Hunter.
38:10
Speaker 1: Thanks guys.
38:10
Speaker 6: The Brewers going a four to three walkoff victory over
38:12
Speaker 6: the Minnesota Twins in the series finale yesterday they win
38:15
Speaker 6: the series against the Twins.
38:16
Speaker 1: They were season high thirty games.
38:18
Speaker 6: Over five hundred five and a half game lead to
38:19
Speaker 6: the National League Central. They continue to have the best
38:21
Speaker 6: record in baseball. Yesterday was quite the win. Of course,
38:25
Speaker 6: the great catches by Laura, we'll hear from him in
38:27
Speaker 6: a moment, but also just the contributors top to bottom. Yesterday,
38:30
Speaker 6: brus manager Pat Murphy said, this was quite a team win.
38:33
Speaker 5: I mean, this was in my mind, the best team
38:36
Speaker 5: win in a long long time. It wasn't the best played,
38:40
Speaker 5: it wasn't perfect. The Twins are really really good ball club.
38:46
Speaker 5: I mean, I look down. Everyone here contributed.
38:48
Speaker 6: And as I mentioned earlier, Luis Lara with the two
38:50
Speaker 6: fantastic catches, including that one crashing into the wall in
38:53
Speaker 6: the tenth inning where he went down, might have been injured,
38:56
Speaker 6: but he was okay. He stayed in the game and
38:57
Speaker 6: when he got up, the ovation from the crowd, the
39:00
Speaker 6: chance of Laura from the crowd were amazing.
39:02
Speaker 1: He said that moment really meant a lot to him.
39:05
Speaker 6: Here he is talking through translator Daniel Demond Dessert.
39:08
Speaker 7: No, it was a very important moment for me there
39:11
Speaker 7: and really the first time in my career that I've
39:13
Speaker 7: experienced something like that. Later, So I think just to
39:16
Speaker 7: be able to feel that support from the fans, you know,
39:19
Speaker 7: it's something that it's important to me. It's something that
39:21
Speaker 7: means a lot, and you know, hopefully I can continue
39:25
Speaker 7: to do things that, you know, continue giving me memorieses
39:27
Speaker 7: to year and to support.
39:29
Speaker 1: Yes, okayay go.
39:31
Speaker 6: So the Brewers head out west again, back out west
39:34
Speaker 6: for a seven game road trip, three in San Diego
39:36
Speaker 6: starting to nine and four against LA.

40:01
Speaker 3: audio interpret on over the conversation.
40:03
