Speaker 2: Hello Hunter, Hello, good morning guys.
3:03
Speaker 7: I have a question Hunter. Before these guys get to
3:05
Speaker 7: the important stuff and you talk baseball. Your background, We've
3:08
Speaker 7: got new additions to the background. Now now your backdrop ball,
3:11
Speaker 7: your backdrop is getting cooler and cooler.
3:13
Speaker 4: You start with the art. Now, what's what's that on
3:16
Speaker 4: the shelf?
3:16
Speaker 6: There?
3:16
Speaker 7: A little take me out to the ball game thing?
3:18
Speaker 7: So you're adding little pieces here, so I have to
3:19
Speaker 7: ask about them.
3:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, we've got, yeah, a little tour of the
3:23
Speaker 3: background here. So I feel like a you know, weather
3:25
Speaker 3: Man would like, there's no, this is not a green
3:27
Speaker 3: screen though, this is an actual background. But yeah, this
3:30
Speaker 3: is a little take me out to the ball game.
3:32
Speaker 3: All the ballparks are on here. And then you of
3:34
Speaker 3: course got the bomb Buker book. So cool, You've got
3:37
Speaker 3: a baseball here, and then I got unfortunately you can't see,
3:39
Speaker 3: but I got three bobble heads up here of sal
3:41
Speaker 3: Murph and Churio. Hello, plants to you know depth, make
3:46
Speaker 3: it a really you know podcast?
3:48
Speaker 6: Is that is that baseball from when you strike out
3:50
Speaker 6: struck out seven and you're in your starting debut or
3:53
Speaker 6: is that from is that from the first win that
3:55
Speaker 6: you had as a coach or what do we got
3:56
Speaker 6: there on the ball?
3:57
Speaker 5: I believe it's signed by the eighty two team.
4:00
Speaker 4: Just casually whatever. Well, by the way, I got.
4:06
Speaker 3: The really weird part about it is I can't remember
4:09
Speaker 3: how I think it just appeared on my desk at
4:11
Speaker 3: work at one point, so like, I'm still trying to
4:13
Speaker 3: figure out what gift. But you know what that sounds, Yeah,
4:18
Speaker 3: very much, totally totally un baseball.
4:22
Speaker 2: I found this at a thrift store for a dollar.
4:23
Speaker 7: Here it is, yeahs from It's pretty cool, Hunter, looking good.
4:28
Speaker 7: I just wanted to get that in before we start
4:30
Speaker 7: the importance.
4:31
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
4:31
Speaker 2: That so Hunter, It's March fifth. Christian Yelich broke the
4:34
Speaker 2: seal yesterday with a couple of one hundred mile an
4:36
Speaker 2: hour plus hits and a viewing the leg Kick. We're
4:39
Speaker 2: back to the leg Kick for Yelich. Is this going
4:42
Speaker 2: to be a permanent thing or will it be a
4:43
Speaker 2: work in progress? What do you think?
4:45
Speaker 3: It sounds like he has been working on it, you know,
4:48
Speaker 3: with with Daniel Vogelbach, they've been putting in some hours
4:51
Speaker 3: trying to you know, get get the timing right and everything.
4:54
Speaker 5: And you know, it's wild.
4:55
Speaker 3: You're in the you're in the major leagues for so
4:56
Speaker 3: long and you think, oh, yeah, he'll just show up
4:58
Speaker 3: and and just us what he's always done. But these
5:01
Speaker 3: guys are so meticulous and Okay, what can I do
5:04
Speaker 3: to get an inch better this year or an inch
5:06
Speaker 3: better that you know, and year after year, and that's.
5:09
Speaker 5: What it seems Christian Yellich is doing.
5:11
Speaker 3: This isn't something he has done since twenty twenty four,
5:13
Speaker 3: and so I'm interested to see if it's permanent.
5:16
Speaker 5: I think spring training, as.
5:17
Speaker 3: He said, well, he said yesterday that he feels most
5:20
Speaker 3: athletic when he's using the leg kicks, so I have
5:23
Speaker 3: a feeling he's going to try to continue to use it.
5:25
Speaker 3: But then again, spring training is the time to test
5:28
Speaker 3: these things. And well, it worked quite well yesterday with
5:31
Speaker 3: that home run to dead center and is second at
5:33
Speaker 3: bat like you said, that other hot, hot single as well,
5:37
Speaker 3: and then he walked. He looked great at the plate,
5:39
Speaker 3: so whatever, Hey, whatever he needs to do to be successful.
5:43
Speaker 3: He had a really solid season last year, kind of
5:45
Speaker 3: a comeback season last year, and hopefully he can double
5:48
Speaker 3: it up because he's going to be a key part
5:50
Speaker 3: of this offense as the designated hitter.
5:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, you do whatever makes you feel the best, right,
5:54
Speaker 6: you look good, feel good, play good, and at that
5:56
Speaker 6: point they pay good. So they're already paying good. Let's
5:58
Speaker 6: play good and continue to feel good as long as
6:01
Speaker 6: the kick continues that way, and in his pacing works,
6:04
Speaker 6: he'll be the keyest cog in in the middle of
6:06
Speaker 6: the order to that point, a hunter. But what about
6:08
Speaker 6: a couple of the guys that are a little bit
6:10
Speaker 6: less thought of. Now, all due respect to David Hamilton
6:14
Speaker 6: is family, I'm very, very excited. I really really hope
6:18
Speaker 6: that murphs is hitting a home run on this one.
6:22
Speaker 6: When he said the quantum leap projection was David Hamilton
6:26
Speaker 6: him and like one of the most forgotten major league
6:28
Speaker 6: contracts they signed one of I think two that they
6:31
Speaker 6: signed outside of the organization a Kiel bad. They've both
6:35
Speaker 6: actually been hitting the ball pretty well. What's the thought there?
6:38
Speaker 6: Because I feel like Bado nobody's even thought of. But
6:41
Speaker 6: when he's given a major league deal, that thought is
6:42
Speaker 6: he's going to be on the big league team. And
6:44
Speaker 6: I don't know that we've maybe done the mathematics for
6:47
Speaker 6: him to be a part of that.
6:48
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing.
6:49
Speaker 3: If you look at how this roster stands right now,
6:52
Speaker 3: I think that's the very interesting part.
6:53
Speaker 5: I kind of did some maths.
6:54
Speaker 3: So you say twenty six roster spots, say they keep
6:57
Speaker 3: thirteen pitchers, Okay, they go thirteen and thirteen.
6:59
Speaker 5: That's the maximum.
7:01
Speaker 3: You figure, you go around the diamond, you figure Contraras
7:03
Speaker 3: is obviously there, Vaughan's there, Terrang's there, Ortiz is there,
7:06
Speaker 3: ren Hefo's there, and then Churio, Yelich, Freelich are your
7:11
Speaker 3: locks for the outfield, and then Sanchez, Bowers and I
7:14
Speaker 3: would think Hamilton is a lock as a backup. I
7:17
Speaker 3: just think he's your utility man, could play some at
7:19
Speaker 3: third base. If he's going to be a quantum leap candidate,
7:21
Speaker 3: well then maybe he is going to be a guy
7:23
Speaker 3: who gets more playing time at third base than maybe
7:26
Speaker 3: we originally thought when they signed Ren Heipho.
7:28
Speaker 5: So that is eleven right there. So all of a sudden,
7:31
Speaker 5: you're down to two spots.
7:32
Speaker 3: And that's for Mitchell, that's for Perkins, that's for Badu,
7:34
Speaker 3: that's for Lockridge, that's for Tyler Black.
7:37
Speaker 5: So you have, you know, five guys for two spots.
7:40
Speaker 3: Really, and so if I were to choose to Mitchell
7:42
Speaker 3: and Perkins, I see Perkins making the team. I mean
7:45
Speaker 3: the famous quote Pat Murphy's saying he'll send himself down
7:49
Speaker 3: before he sends Blake Perkins down.
7:51
Speaker 7: So what.
7:53
Speaker 5: Is on the team.
7:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would think it'd be great to hear that
7:55
Speaker 7: if you're a player and you cannot really establish but
7:58
Speaker 7: your manager says that he's got it.
8:00
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I think you've heard that time or
8:02
Speaker 4: two MVP the radios.
8:04
Speaker 7: I don't think I've heard that at all, But I
8:06
Speaker 7: appreciate you uh saying that a.
8:09
Speaker 2: Switch hitter with gold glove defensive and usually find a
8:13
Speaker 2: place for a guy.
8:14
Speaker 7: Why the manager would love that, right? So totally Yeah. Now,
8:17
Speaker 7: the thing I found interesting when you mentioned the vogel
8:20
Speaker 7: Bach giving advice to Yelly and not Yell.
8:22
Speaker 4: He's a pro.
8:22
Speaker 7: I'm sure he'll be receptive to coaching and things like
8:25
Speaker 7: that always, But isn't that sort of like me given
8:27
Speaker 7: broadcast tips to Dan Patrick?
8:29
Speaker 4: Like, isn't that sort of weird?
8:30
Speaker 6: Right?
8:30
Speaker 7: But but then again, we seen in football all the time,
8:33
Speaker 7: right guys where the quarterback coach is usually you know,
8:36
Speaker 7: a guy that's played in the league, But it was
8:38
Speaker 7: never necessarily as good. Maybe we always used to joke
8:41
Speaker 7: about who's getting Aaron Rodgers the quarterback coaching? You know?
8:44
Speaker 7: But that dynamic I think is going to be interesting
8:47
Speaker 7: to see how Volgie fits in and you and you
8:49
Speaker 7: talked to him.
8:50
Speaker 2: I mean they played together, so he watched him hit.
8:52
Speaker 2: They were in the cage together a lot. So he's
8:54
Speaker 2: a guy that said, oh, yeah, you used to do this,
8:56
Speaker 2: or you know, I remember you this when you're going good.
8:58
Speaker 2: And I think it works because he doesn't. He doesn't
9:03
Speaker 2: have to be a better hitter to tell Yellich what
9:05
Speaker 2: to do.
9:06
Speaker 6: Because rarely those guys are good, right, Rarely the best
9:09
Speaker 6: guys are. Like even Yelich has talked about with Barry,
9:12
Speaker 6: it wasn't anything that he said that was like exes
9:14
Speaker 6: and O's.
9:14
Speaker 4: It was just going there and believe you're going to
9:16
Speaker 4: hit a homer.
9:16
Speaker 2: Did Chris Hook have nastier stuff than Freddy Peralta.
9:21
Speaker 4: Burns?
9:22
Speaker 2: No, you don't have to to coach, you know that, Arman.
9:25
Speaker 2: But Hunter, it is interesting talking about Yelich and here
9:27
Speaker 2: he is in camp, grinding away and trying to get
9:29
Speaker 2: himself right, and he's on his own schedule, right. He
9:32
Speaker 2: doesn't do what you need to do to get ready.
9:34
Speaker 2: He's reached that he's thirty four. He deserves it. But
9:36
Speaker 2: I wonder if he has deep down fomo about the
9:38
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, because it wasn't that long ago. Well,
9:40
Speaker 2: I guess it was what nine years ago, and he
9:43
Speaker 2: was the three hitter on the US team and the
9:45
Speaker 2: one of the you know, all tournament guys when they
9:47
Speaker 2: won they won the goal that year that he played.
9:50
Speaker 2: I wonder if he like misses being in that strata
9:52
Speaker 2: or if he's just happy, you know, be getting ready
9:55
Speaker 2: for the season. I wonder if deep down he's watching
9:57
Speaker 2: that going on, I should be there.
9:58
Speaker 4: A great call.
9:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe there's a possibility there.
10:01
Speaker 3: I know, probably number one on his list is health
10:04
Speaker 3: at this point, just because of what the last you know,
10:07
Speaker 3: five years has brought him. So I would guess that
10:10
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna prioritize that over maybe playing there since
10:13
Speaker 3: he had already. But at the same time, yeah, and
10:16
Speaker 3: I still think he could do some damage for Team USA.
10:19
Speaker 3: Although you look at that lineup, it's just there is
10:22
Speaker 3: not a hole in that lineup right now. You look
10:24
Speaker 3: at the one, especially the one they put out against
10:27
Speaker 3: the Giants two days ago when Terrang was in there,
10:30
Speaker 3: and then Terrang comes off the bench yesterday and hits
10:33
Speaker 3: two doubles. So Terrang is clearly, you know, showing that
10:36
Speaker 3: he belongs on that team as well. Obviously it's against
10:40
Speaker 3: Rockies and Giants pitchers right now, and then we'll see
10:44
Speaker 3: what he does in the World Baseball Classic. They debut
10:46
Speaker 3: tomorrow night against Brazil. So I'm fascinated to see if
10:49
Speaker 3: if Terrang does get the start. I would think he would,
10:53
Speaker 3: but we'll see, and then I'm interested in all the
10:55
Speaker 3: Brewers that are in this World Baseball Classic. I mean,
10:58
Speaker 3: it's like I'm also i feel like I'm also watching
11:00
Speaker 3: with you know, you know, kind of peeking around the corner,
11:03
Speaker 3: like just okay, just be healthy, like just okay, do
11:06
Speaker 3: good for your country and everything, you know, and everything
11:09
Speaker 3: like that. It was cool though, Abnuary Reba. I believe
11:12
Speaker 3: he's on the Dominican Republic if memory serves, he all
11:15
Speaker 3: that that celebration.
11:17
Speaker 5: Is even more electric when it's on the world stage.
11:19
Speaker 3: He did in an exhibition game and closing things out
11:22
Speaker 3: for them the other day, and the and the fans
11:25
Speaker 3: are just absolutely going wild. So that's that's the atmospheres
11:29
Speaker 3: that we're about to see for these games. That's what
11:31
Speaker 3: I'm really excited for.
11:32
Speaker 6: A true showman, Abnuerary Reba. He knew exactly what he
11:35
Speaker 6: was doing, and you want to talk about William Contraras.
11:37
Speaker 6: I would assume he might be a little bit of
11:39
Speaker 6: a showman for Team Venezuela. Churio's got the one rocking
11:42
Speaker 6: for Team Venezuela. That looks pretty sweet, So I'm a fan.
11:46
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see it. How much of the guys
11:48
Speaker 6: being away though, Like yesterday you're watching Cooper Pratt and
11:52
Speaker 6: Hayesus Miday up the middle. That's a pretty nice peak
11:56
Speaker 6: into the future to be able to see what it
11:59
Speaker 6: looks like with a couple of the main guys out.
12:01
Speaker 6: Maybe it's not the same kind of experience that you'd
12:04
Speaker 6: beginning in your first big league camp, but what do
12:08
Speaker 6: you see and from the people that you've talked to
12:10
Speaker 6: a hunter that are down there, like, what is the
12:13
Speaker 6: vibe and the feel of those guys being able to
12:15
Speaker 6: go through a big league camp, albeit a much more
12:17
Speaker 6: extended stay then generally you would have gotten as a
12:21
Speaker 6: minor league top prospect at your first big league camp.
12:23
Speaker 5: Totally.
12:24
Speaker 3: You look at the top five in at that so
12:26
Speaker 3: far for the Brewers, and it's and Mades right up there,
12:29
Speaker 3: and even Luis Lara's up there. I mean, they've been
12:32
Speaker 3: playing these top prospects fair amount, and obviously yesterday.
12:36
Speaker 5: Like you said, a peeking of the future. Really cool.
12:38
Speaker 3: You had you know, Freelick in the lineup, you had
12:39
Speaker 3: Yellich in the lineup, and then you had Pratt and
12:41
Speaker 3: Maday up the middle in that lineup as well. I
12:44
Speaker 3: just thought that was kind of cool, a glimpse into
12:46
Speaker 3: what could be because there's a real chance Yelich plays
12:49
Speaker 3: in the same lineup as Miday in Pratt in the
12:52
Speaker 3: in the future, and I do wonder if that is
12:55
Speaker 3: your middle. As much as we've talked about Maday at short,
12:58
Speaker 3: it defense still a working from a day the bad
13:01
Speaker 3: obviously is what everybody's really excited about. You put my
13:04
Speaker 3: day over there at second. However, obviously, how is that
13:07
Speaker 3: going to work with Bryce Terrang? When does that come?
13:09
Speaker 3: Probably maybe a year or two, and then what's Terrang's
13:13
Speaker 3: contract status, And that's a discussion for years down the road.
13:15
Speaker 3: But I just think it's interesting, especially with Prapp being
13:18
Speaker 3: over there at short one guy unfortunately that's missing out
13:21
Speaker 3: on these reps, with the guys that are down that
13:23
Speaker 3: are out right now, with Ortiz and Rag being in
13:26
Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic, as Jet Williams, who unfortunately is
13:29
Speaker 3: dealing with that quad injury right now, and it sounds
13:31
Speaker 3: like he's doing stuff in the cage and taking at bats,
13:34
Speaker 3: but I think a little bit of ground ball work
13:37
Speaker 3: the other day, but just trying to still get back
13:40
Speaker 3: to running. I think he'll be okay when it comes
13:42
Speaker 3: to opening day, and I don't necessarily think he'll make
13:44
Speaker 3: the roster, but it sounds like over the next couple
13:46
Speaker 3: of weeks is when we may see him again. But
13:49
Speaker 3: that's kind of a missing out because this is his
13:51
Speaker 3: time really to take a hold of one of those
13:53
Speaker 3: positions and say, okay, consider me for either a utility
13:56
Speaker 3: spot or something over there at third base or what
13:58
Speaker 3: have you. So I think they're taking advantage. David Hamilton
14:02
Speaker 3: is also one of the top guys when it comes
14:03
Speaker 3: to at bats.
14:04
Speaker 5: Right now, they're really seeing what they have in him.
14:07
Speaker 6: Uh.
14:07
Speaker 3: And he was talking with Sophia yesterday on the Brewers
14:10
Speaker 3: broadcast and he was talking about how they're basis of
14:13
Speaker 3: new position for him, and he's not quite admitted I'm
14:15
Speaker 3: not quite comfortable over there yet. So I think that's
14:18
Speaker 3: gonna be interesting. That's why it just continues to for me,
14:21
Speaker 3: it just continues to point signs to Renhifo being your
14:24
Speaker 3: everyday guy over there. And then Hamilton, you know, he
14:27
Speaker 3: can take a quantum leap as a utility player, you
14:30
Speaker 3: know if if he's really good off the bench, kind
14:32
Speaker 3: of the Jake Bowers role. Right, Bower has been really good.
14:34
Speaker 5: Off the bench, and that's kind of what's kept him
14:36
Speaker 5: at the.
14:37
Speaker 3: Major league level in a Brewer's uniform. I think David
14:39
Speaker 3: Hamilton could be that guy as well. Maybe not the
14:41
Speaker 3: same power, but in a different way that Andrew monastereotime.
14:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Jake Bower's inate ability to winever the DFA
14:48
Speaker 6: is just about the red like the little slip is
14:50
Speaker 6: about to get hung in the locker als in Holy
14:53
Speaker 6: Cow two for three with four driven in.
14:55
Speaker 4: Well, I guess.
14:59
Speaker 2: Everything we're talking with Hunter Bombard our Baseball go to
15:02
Speaker 2: guy our pal and Hunter the showcase yesterday the yellowch hits,
15:06
Speaker 2: and then Shane Rowan and Brandon sprote pitching, Well, they
15:11
Speaker 2: got an extended out ROAs fun.
15:14
Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing when if Queinn Priester is
15:16
Speaker 3: gonna miss opening Day, which we can get into that
15:18
Speaker 3: quote by Pat Murphy on the broadcast yesterday, it's room
15:22
Speaker 3: for concern and we can get into that. If he's
15:25
Speaker 3: not gonna be ready for opening day, that opens up
15:27
Speaker 3: a spot because to me, it's Woodroff, it's Misserowski. If
15:29
Speaker 3: Woodrif's healthy, Woodroff Misserrowski, that I would think. Chad Patrick
15:33
Speaker 3: and Kyle Harrison, I think are probably your other two,
15:35
Speaker 3: and then that leaves the spot.
15:36
Speaker 5: Is it Sprout, is it Henderson? Is it Gasser?
15:38
Speaker 3: I feel like those are probably the top three options there.
15:41
Speaker 3: Henderson didn't have a bad outing yesterday either, but I
15:44
Speaker 3: feel like the way Sprout's throwing the baseball right now,
15:47
Speaker 3: and maybe they're earned runs, aren't they? But you're looking
15:49
Speaker 3: at what he's able to do, what kind of the
15:52
Speaker 3: Chris Hook has already done with with Brandon Sprot. I
15:54
Speaker 3: think he has a he might have a chance to
15:56
Speaker 3: make this rotation if Priester is out to start the season.
16:00
Speaker 5: And so that's what was really cool.
16:02
Speaker 3: Drowan has thrown really well and Pat Murphy saying yesterday
16:05
Speaker 3: he wouldn't be surprised if you see him in twenty
16:06
Speaker 3: twenty six. I don't think he necessarily makes the opening
16:09
Speaker 3: day roster unless he just pitches lights out the rest
16:11
Speaker 3: of spring training and maybe leaves no choice, but I
16:15
Speaker 3: do think he starts at triple A and then you
16:17
Speaker 3: do see him as that bullpen arm.
16:18
Speaker 5: It could be relatively soon. You know how the Brewers
16:21
Speaker 5: like to use their.
16:22
Speaker 3: Bullpen arms up and down from Nashville all season long.
16:25
Speaker 3: So I have a feeling Drowan could be up here
16:27
Speaker 3: sooner rather than later this season.
16:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the depth we'll get tested, right. You mentioned
16:30
Speaker 7: the Quinn priest Or. You mentioned them, Pat Murphy Colt
16:33
Speaker 7: Obviously he said there's room for concern. It's not responding
16:35
Speaker 7: the way we thought it would. We don't want to
16:37
Speaker 7: take any chances. Talking about the wrist injury obviously in
16:39
Speaker 7: highes recovering from start to start, Hunter, should you miss
16:43
Speaker 7: assume at this point that Quinn Priesser won't be ready
16:46
Speaker 7: to go for opening day? Like you mentioned that, Is
16:48
Speaker 7: that what we're looking at?
16:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's whenever, you know. The Pat Murphy also
16:52
Speaker 3: saying they got two to three opinions. He's a regimented program.
16:56
Speaker 7: They're trying to figure out wh Yeah, it's still hurting them.
16:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it sounds like he had the wrist injury
17:02
Speaker 3: kind of pitched through it. But then what that does
17:04
Speaker 3: is it causes you to pitch differently than usual, and
17:06
Speaker 3: so then the rest of your arm is doing things
17:08
Speaker 3: that it isn't used to, and then it kind of
17:10
Speaker 3: hurts the rest of your arm, and it sounds like
17:12
Speaker 3: started throwing in December, but then it just hasn't bounced
17:14
Speaker 3: back like they wanted it to the arm. You know,
17:16
Speaker 3: he feels fine one day, but then goes out another
17:19
Speaker 3: day and doesn't feel as well. And so if in yeah,
17:22
Speaker 3: the room for concern quote gives us room for concerns.
17:25
Speaker 3: So I were if I were to say, I would say,
17:27
Speaker 3: right now, he probably starts in the el. You just
17:30
Speaker 3: hope it's not a long term issue, you know, a
17:33
Speaker 3: sixty day type of situation. Not that I think it
17:36
Speaker 3: will be, but you know, you do worry that. Okay,
17:39
Speaker 3: this is a guy who we're going to have for
17:40
Speaker 3: a long time. This is a guy who throw it
17:42
Speaker 3: through you know, a lot of innings for us last
17:44
Speaker 3: year and showed a ton of promise. Obviously, this is
17:47
Speaker 3: a guy we want to protect, and we're like he said,
17:50
Speaker 3: Murphy said this, we're not going to take chances right now.
17:53
Speaker 3: And so I would think that they're going to be
17:56
Speaker 3: and I pretty much know they're going to be more
17:58
Speaker 3: cautious with him than not so I will I would
18:03
Speaker 3: think that opening days in jeopardy for him, and then
18:06
Speaker 3: hopefully it's a shorter than Logger.
18:08
Speaker 6: Eye els well, and we talked about yesterday and earlier
18:12
Speaker 6: this week about the Woody little trepidation, then a little
18:15
Speaker 6: bit better news.
18:16
Speaker 4: Maybe he is more gonna be ramped up for it.
18:18
Speaker 4: I don't know.
18:19
Speaker 6: Maybe it's just like old school where you and start
18:22
Speaker 6: the season with the team that you ended with. Aaron
18:24
Speaker 6: Ashby probably your opening day starter, right, Let's just be honest.
18:27
Speaker 6: He might start three out of the five first five games.
18:29
Speaker 4: But that's true.
18:30
Speaker 6: I don't necessarily know what they'll do game one or
18:32
Speaker 6: Game two or game three. But you mentioned the Priester,
18:35
Speaker 6: and that's a massive question. What about the law firm
18:38
Speaker 6: of like Hall, Henderson, Gasser, all of the Patrick you
18:42
Speaker 6: can probably include into there as well. Where it does
18:45
Speaker 6: feel like there's gonna be a collection of like eight
18:47
Speaker 6: guys for like three spots. Because I'm putting Harrison into
18:51
Speaker 6: the rotation, He's gonna be a part of it. Obviously.
18:54
Speaker 6: Woody whenever he can, is gonna be a part of it.
18:57
Speaker 6: But where do you see that race, Because it does
18:59
Speaker 6: feel like there's eight guys that definitely want to be starters,
19:03
Speaker 6: there's only like three or four spots that they can
19:04
Speaker 6: and at some point it is the juice worth the squeeze.
19:08
Speaker 6: Keep you stretched out in triple A or see if
19:10
Speaker 6: you can learn how to get big lead hitters out
19:11
Speaker 6: in a shorter sample.
19:12
Speaker 5: Well, that's exactly it, and I think it.
19:15
Speaker 3: You know, Pat Murphy did say the other day that
19:17
Speaker 3: you know, some of these guys are gonna have to
19:19
Speaker 3: move to the bullpen like they're they're not maybe permanently,
19:22
Speaker 3: but guys that might might have to just learn that way.
19:25
Speaker 3: And I do wonder because they have so much talent.
19:28
Speaker 3: You want your you want pitchers that are talented to
19:31
Speaker 3: be out there, and so I do wonder if they
19:32
Speaker 3: consider taking a Logan Henderson or a Robert Gasser and
19:36
Speaker 3: and throwing him in the bullpen to start the season.
19:38
Speaker 3: But then again, you know, Ashby and Hall are kind
19:41
Speaker 3: of your long relief guys there, so there is it seems,
19:45
Speaker 3: you know, if Priester's not ready, I would think there's
19:47
Speaker 3: you know, one to two spots ready in that rotation.
19:49
Speaker 3: If you have Woodriff and miss Rowski and then you
19:51
Speaker 3: got uh like you mentioned, Kyle Harrison I think is
19:54
Speaker 3: in it, and okay, then there's two spots left and
19:55
Speaker 3: Chad Patrick I think would be the front runner. But
19:58
Speaker 3: like you said, Henderson, Gasser, Sprote, and Hall and Ashby.
20:02
Speaker 3: I think they really like Ashby in the bullpen, so
20:04
Speaker 3: I would think that's.
20:05
Speaker 5: Where he goes.
20:06
Speaker 3: I would also think Hauls in the bullpen as well,
20:09
Speaker 3: and so I think it kind of comes down to Gasser,
20:12
Speaker 3: Henderson and Sprote and maybe one to two of those
20:15
Speaker 3: guys is in Nashville getting keeping stretched out because what
20:20
Speaker 3: you don't necessarily want to do, and they could go
20:22
Speaker 3: to the bullpen and come back into the rotation, but
20:25
Speaker 3: what you don't want to do probably is not have
20:27
Speaker 3: them stretched out. And then a guy goes down in
20:29
Speaker 3: that rotation, and then you're kind of stuck with, okay,
20:33
Speaker 3: well we committed them in the bullpen, and then okay,
20:35
Speaker 3: we want to be careful with his innings, and then
20:36
Speaker 3: he comes out he only is gonna throw two to
20:38
Speaker 3: three innings when you want to probably get five out
20:40
Speaker 3: of your starter.
20:41
Speaker 5: So I think they probably keep them stretched out and
20:44
Speaker 5: that triple.
20:44
Speaker 3: A rotation is gonna look mighty good for the Nashville Sounds,
20:47
Speaker 3: and then they're gonna be ready to come whenever they
20:50
Speaker 3: need to.
20:50
Speaker 2: Nashville should be pretty good.
20:52
Speaker 4: This should be nice.
20:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Arman last year one of his favorite talkers
20:56
Speaker 6: about the Brewers was the guy that he saw pitch
20:58
Speaker 6: in Nashville, Obias, Tobias Myers not being this rotation.
21:01
Speaker 4: How can he not be helping out happy We saw why.
21:05
Speaker 7: Well, I know he had some moments there the end,
21:07
Speaker 7: but I you know, after what he had did two
21:09
Speaker 7: years ago, you thought, like Tobias should be a big
21:11
Speaker 7: part of this, but you know it wasn't to be.
21:14
Speaker 4: MLB.
21:15
Speaker 6: The show did, though, have Tobias Myers as the game
21:17
Speaker 6: three starter in the twenty twenty eight and I'll see, yes.
21:20
Speaker 5: There you go.
21:20
Speaker 4: See it's not over.
21:21
Speaker 7: Tobias still grind away, keep grinding away there, it's not over.
21:24
Speaker 2: So I like that, like grinding away. Hunter. Thanks for
21:27
Speaker 2: joining us. We appreciate it. Thanks for getting up early
21:29
Speaker 2: with us, and for all that you do with us
21:31
Speaker 2: on Burus front.
21:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, and helping with the audio gremlins that we have.
21:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, someone tried to give me all the credit,
21:38
Speaker 7: and I didn't want that to happen. I want a
21:40
Speaker 7: Hunter to get all the credit.
21:41
Speaker 6: You know.
21:41
Speaker 7: Some guys like, hey, yeah, you're you know arman, You're
21:43
Speaker 7: the lord of the board. And I'm like, well, no,
21:45
Speaker 7: Hunter was the one with the idea that solved it
21:48
Speaker 7: so well.
21:48
Speaker 3: We we were we put our minds together, and I
21:51
Speaker 3: was upset that I didn't figure it out.
21:52
Speaker 5: Within like me too. You know, it was like ten
21:54
Speaker 5: to fifteen minutes before we figured it out. I'm like, well, you.
21:56
Speaker 6: Would have thought that you could have closed the windows.
21:59
Speaker 6: Like again, Hunter, give give yourself some credit there. You
22:02
Speaker 6: you thought he had unplugged it and plugged it back
22:04
Speaker 6: in already. Yeah, there are little trap doors.
22:07
Speaker 5: You never know why and there are there are little
22:10
Speaker 5: trap doors.
22:10
Speaker 3: And we were able to get it solved. We could
22:14
Speaker 3: get the YouTube stream and everything.
22:16
Speaker 5: Thanks guys. We will talk again next week.
22:19
Speaker 4: See you buddy.
22:20
Speaker 2: All right, are we like what three weeks out from

22:24
Speaker 4: Three weeks from today? Three weeks from two day? Good opening? Thanks?
22:28
Speaker 2: How about that baseball fix with Hunter bomb Guard. We're
22:31
Speaker 2: going to be back man, before you know it, showplies,

23:06
Speaker 2: emergency clinics. They've got state of the art facilities and
23:09
Speaker 2: incredible care, world class care right here at home. From
23:12
Speaker 2: the best Orthedic Associates Wisconsin or the Wisconsin dot Com
23:15
Speaker 2: or Theopedic Associates of Wisconsin. There is a difference.
23:19
Speaker 6: It's tough when you know that you're going to need
23:22
Speaker 6: some orthopedic care at some particular point in time.
23:24
Speaker 4: You just don't know when. It's kind of like that
23:25
Speaker 4: ticking time bomb.
23:26
Speaker 6: But if you're out having fun and doing some things,
23:29
Speaker 6: you are potentially going to have to call doctor Bogging Company.
23:31
Speaker 2: Since we cover all the demos thirties, forties, fifties, you know,
23:37
Speaker 2: you guys will learn that you wake up and for
23:40
Speaker 2: some reason, I don't know if I slept wrong or what,
23:42
Speaker 2: but both shoulders are in distressed today. Yep, both shoulders
23:45
Speaker 2: like oh man, creaking and like I was.
23:47
Speaker 6: Gonna say, and you've probably heard different pops in there
23:49
Speaker 6: that you ever had before.
23:50
Speaker 2: Yep, arthritic or slept wrong or something like can I
23:53
Speaker 2: catch a break? I got really good sleep last night,
23:55
Speaker 2: and I wake up feeling crappy because of my shoulders.
23:57
Speaker 4: It's strange.
23:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, and listen, I'm in the same because I'm sleeping
24:01
Speaker 6: great last night. Back is still a mess, but that's
24:04
Speaker 6: another thing here and or there. But it is like,
24:06
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, I take one step, like, dude,
24:08
Speaker 6: come on, why is why is this ankle bat? There's
24:11
Speaker 6: no I didn't do anything yesterday other than get up
24:14
Speaker 6: off my couch because my youngster said that you need
24:17
Speaker 6: help go into the body.
24:17
Speaker 4: Like there's there's nothing else I did that was you?
24:20
Speaker 4: Oh wait?
24:21
Speaker 6: I did walk around the block. Okay, yeah, that should
24:25
Speaker 6: be helping you. That should be helping.
24:26
Speaker 4: But you're right, why am I?
24:27
Speaker 7: You know? You feel like if I'm going to be
24:29
Speaker 7: this sore, I should have had like saying.
24:31
Speaker 6: I can't I can't bench ninety five pounds right, like
24:33
Speaker 6: I'm not going to embarrass myself physically that way, but
24:36
Speaker 6: it does those moments where it's like we need to
24:38
Speaker 6: I need to, I need to kickstart this deal. All right, goodness,
24:41
Speaker 6: I walked six blocks in my backers.
24:43
Speaker 2: Let's get after it. Eight seven seven seven year ticket
24:47
Speaker 2: to the uh Nicola dot Com talking on text line.
24:50
Speaker 7: Okay, I don't know why, man, I'm not saying anything.
24:53
Speaker 2: Alright, A mixed bag for basketball in our area. Last night,
24:56
Speaker 2: Wisconsin crushing Buzz Williams and the Terrapins of Maryland. The
25:01
Speaker 2: Marquettians winning at Providence, and we'll take it. Carmon's heart,
25:06
Speaker 2: it's expand by six sizes. Well, you in the in
25:09
Speaker 2: the midst of a hurricane, you do want the eye
25:10
Speaker 2: you'll take. You want a little bit of hope, and
25:12
Speaker 2: that's our hope. Those young guards Badgers were Remember when
25:15
Speaker 2: they were starting the season, we were wondering who was
25:17
Speaker 2: going to go further in the tournament. Badgers have won twenty,
25:19
Speaker 2: Marquetes losing twenty.
25:20
Speaker 6: The real question, Well, when I was there at the
25:22
Speaker 6: at the Marquette Wisconsin game and it was eleven and
25:24
Speaker 6: a half point number, and I was talking to our
25:26
Speaker 6: friend Butchy, and he's like, this thing could get ugly, like, well,
25:29
Speaker 6: this game's never ugly. Oh, it could get ugly, and
25:32
Speaker 6: both teams went in the complete directions that that game
25:35
Speaker 6: indicated there in the beginning part of December.
25:37
Speaker 7: And Butch always thinks that every Marquette Wisconsin game will
25:41
Speaker 7: get ugly in Wisconsin's favors.
25:42
Speaker 4: So you never know what Butch, you know, Oh.
25:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I do feel like he's always a little
25:46
Speaker 6: bit more pro Marquette than others.
25:47
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely.
25:48
Speaker 7: And he like shock and he does a good job
25:50
Speaker 7: with that. He's usually pretty honest. I just think, you know,
25:52
Speaker 7: but you know what, he was right. I'm not going
25:54
Speaker 7: to say anything now. The thing about it is, you're right.
25:55
Speaker 7: Usually that game is close. It wasn't you know. There's
25:59
Speaker 7: a lot of unknowns going to the year. But yeah,
26:01
Speaker 7: obviously you're right, dud Drew do I do remember those times.
26:03
Speaker 7: And that's what's amazing about a college basketball season. How
26:06
Speaker 7: much can change. I know a lot of people only
26:08
Speaker 7: checking around this time usually, but through the dog days,
26:10
Speaker 7: I said to pay attention to this. These are important
26:12
Speaker 7: wins for the Badgers, and they turned out to be
26:14
Speaker 7: those through January when they got out of that bubble state.
26:17
Speaker 4: Now they're in good shape.
26:18
Speaker 7: So yeah, that's what we're we're looking at here as
26:20
Speaker 7: we get the selection Sunday only.
26:22
Speaker 4: Two weeks away, I want to say, And yeah.
26:25
Speaker 6: So Selection Sunday is further out than NFL free agency.
26:29
Speaker 6: And I'll be honest with you, crept up on me.
26:32
Speaker 4: Most of the time.
26:33
Speaker 6: It's the middle to later stages of March. Is the
26:36
Speaker 6: new league year, Monday at noon when negotiations fully can
26:41
Speaker 6: get underway in the legal tampering period fires through, and man,
26:45
Speaker 6: you're starting to see a lot of politicking as to
26:47
Speaker 6: where certain players want to go, where certain players are
26:50
Speaker 6: angling to go, what certain teams might or might not
26:54
Speaker 6: be interested and said player Drew. I think Kyler Murray
26:58
Speaker 6: is one of the most fascinating people in America right
27:00
Speaker 6: now because as third grade questions were being asked on
27:04
Speaker 6: the First Take and the morning shows on television today,
27:08
Speaker 6: should he play baseball or not? I actually don't think
27:10
Speaker 6: it's awaken big question. I think that's an interesting one
27:13
Speaker 6: for somebody who's got the thirty six million coming his
27:15
Speaker 6: way this year.
27:15
Speaker 2: Ace would welcome him.
27:17
Speaker 4: They put it out yesterday like, hey, we're right here.
27:19
Speaker 4: If he wants to.
27:19
Speaker 6: Play, if he wants to come play. It wouldn't be
27:21
Speaker 6: the first time we saw somebody make the flip. I
27:23
Speaker 6: also think it would be the right time. He's already
27:25
Speaker 6: making thirty six million on football contracts from the Cardinals
27:29
Speaker 6: this year.
27:30
Speaker 2: True, Like, if you were going to get paid to
27:32
Speaker 2: go and take the shot at it, you can get
27:35
Speaker 2: yourself a pretty nice bus in a ball That's true.
27:39
Speaker 4: That's true. Now do the Jordan thing.
27:41
Speaker 6: Upgrade the bus, upgrade the post game spread. He would
27:44
Speaker 6: be the most beloved. He'd be the most beloved teammate.
27:47
Speaker 6: I can assume on that a ball team would do
27:49
Speaker 6: You think that he'd be able to negotiate and drew
27:51
Speaker 6: where they're like, hey, we're going to start you here
27:53
Speaker 6: at double A and figure out exactly what we can
27:55
Speaker 6: do because at some point we want you to be playing.
27:58
Speaker 6: If Kyler's going to be an A as much as
28:01
Speaker 6: they care about winning here because they spend some money,
28:03
Speaker 6: the A's are actually spending free agent dollars.
28:06
Speaker 4: More than the Pirates. It's very interesting. It's actually almost
28:09
Speaker 4: like trying now. It's almost like they want to get
28:11
Speaker 4: excitement for that move. They want him in Las Vegas.
28:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean like that.
28:14
Speaker 6: Would be I'm not saying Bruno Mars esque attraction in
28:17
Speaker 6: Las Vegas or at them Bruno or went out, he
28:20
Speaker 6: might never.
28:21
Speaker 4: Be leaving Vegas.
28:21
Speaker 7: Well he's got to work, then he might never be
28:24
Speaker 7: leaving washing washing dishes. If he can't do those, you want.
28:27
Speaker 6: To have a little bit of an attraction. And I
28:29
Speaker 6: think as much as Nick Kurtz, the reigning and AL
28:32
Speaker 6: Rookie of the Year is a good one for A's fans.
28:34
Speaker 6: That would be a fascinating one. All he's doing football wise, though,
28:38
Speaker 6: Drew Kyler Murray wants everybody to hear it and know
28:43
Speaker 6: he wants to be in Minnesota Viking like, I don't
28:46
Speaker 6: know if you're here in the same thing. But every
28:48
Speaker 6: one of the reports, every single one of the rumors
28:50
Speaker 6: and the chat conversations, and I was tapping in a
28:53
Speaker 6: little bit on k Fan yesterday to hear they said
28:57
Speaker 6: everybody at the combine was only asking them about Kyler
29:00
Speaker 6: to the Vikings because it seems like they're putting everything
29:02
Speaker 6: out there to try to see if Kevin O'Connell will
29:05
Speaker 6: take him in as their next reclamation project.
29:08
Speaker 4: It makes some sense, does that. I mean, unless they
29:11
Speaker 4: head in their eye and on Aaron.
29:15
Speaker 7: You know, if Willis today or Malik Willis, if if
29:18
Speaker 7: they're trying to right the wrong they did last offseason
29:21
Speaker 7: by overlooking Aaron and saying no thanks, will.
29:24
Speaker 4: They do that again.
29:25
Speaker 7: But Kyler seems to be I mean, if you want
29:27
Speaker 7: a talent that position, he's available and the price is low,
29:30
Speaker 7: I don't see why he wouldn't.
29:31
Speaker 4: Take a fly.
29:32
Speaker 2: Their most basic tenet of scouting though, that I don't
29:34
Speaker 2: want a quarterback who's five to seven.
29:36
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing.
29:36
Speaker 6: I mean, like, yeah, Kevin O'Connell is a guy who
29:39
Speaker 6: played in the league. He's six foot three, six foot four,
29:42
Speaker 6: big quarterback. I don't know that he necessarily wants that.
29:46
Speaker 6: But you do look at Kyler's numbers and it's not
29:48
Speaker 6: like he's one of the worst players that we've seen
29:51
Speaker 6: in the league. Again, counting stats for yardage might not
29:55
Speaker 6: be a thing. It's like six or seventh in the
29:56
Speaker 6: league in yards in the last five years, so you've
29:58
Speaker 6: thrown over one hundred touch down.
30:00
Speaker 7: He can play, he's producing. There have been small guys succeeding.
30:02
Speaker 7: There are always outliers, and yeah, I get it, he
30:05
Speaker 7: might not sometimes look the part, but you know, does J. J.
30:08
Speaker 7: McCarthy look the part when he can't throw the ball?
30:10
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm sorry, like you have to start looking
30:12
Speaker 7: at things like that, So I don't think. I don't
30:15
Speaker 7: think JJ's the option for that.
30:16
Speaker 2: They do list Kyler at five to ten, and I'm
30:18
Speaker 2: not buying that though, right.
30:20
Speaker 6: On the greatest of days, I'm the greatest of days
30:22
Speaker 6: with the highest of cleats put in there.
30:24
Speaker 2: And then who was listed at six to one? I
30:28
Speaker 2: don't buy that either.
30:29
Speaker 4: No, that that one's definitely not gonna enp.
30:31
Speaker 7: So there are guys over six feet walking around the
30:33
Speaker 7: halls here that I don't think are quarterbacks either. I mean,
30:36
Speaker 7: if you get so locked into what a guy looks
30:38
Speaker 7: like and not what he's you know, Yeah, Kyler's had problems,
30:41
Speaker 7: but he's also he has also has some talent and
30:43
Speaker 7: athletic ability.
30:44
Speaker 6: Extremely talented. I don't know that Drew. He's as dynamic
30:47
Speaker 6: as he was after as he was before the entry.
30:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, who wins you more games next year, Kyler
30:53
Speaker 2: Murray or Malik Willis.
30:55
Speaker 4: That's a good question.
30:55
Speaker 7: I think it depends on the unit, right, it depends
30:57
Speaker 7: on who's goal situation.
30:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're definite more than Michael four can scheme up,
31:01
Speaker 2: could probably scheme up for both of them.
31:03
Speaker 4: He could, he probably could.
31:04
Speaker 6: Definitely doesn't want you for thirty six million with the
31:07
Speaker 6: Kyler contract. I mean, I love Kevin O'Connell, and I
31:10
Speaker 6: don't love the idea of Kyler Murray slinging the ball
31:12
Speaker 6: to Justin Jefferson thirteen times a game and Jordan Addison
31:16
Speaker 6: if he's healthy, you know, six or seven times a game.
31:19
Speaker 7: He's made better meals with less groceries. I one hundred percent,
31:22
Speaker 7: I totally agree with you, Billy. You know how I
31:24
Speaker 7: feel about that.
31:25
Speaker 6: Indoors might be like the perfect blend of it too, right,
31:29
Speaker 6: Like I mean, they only end up playing in the
31:30
Speaker 6: NFC North obviously Chicago and Green Bay. If you're going
31:32
Speaker 6: to go through and whin the North, you're gonna have
31:34
Speaker 6: to go and play two outdoor games. You don't know
31:35
Speaker 6: what those are going to be and when it's going
31:37
Speaker 6: to be lining up. But the worst thing that happened
31:40
Speaker 6: to him was somebody that released the language of the
31:44
Speaker 6: study clause in his last contract and the injury. But
31:49
Speaker 6: otherwise he's put up numbers and he's produced, and he's
31:51
Speaker 6: been able to play. I thought the other interesting question
31:54
Speaker 6: or the statement maybe was more impactful than the one
31:58
Speaker 6: that Army I know you'll smile at.
32:00
Speaker 4: I think it was.
32:01
Speaker 6: Was talking to one of their main beat writers and
32:04
Speaker 6: conversators and asked if the smoke was that JJ McCarthy
32:09
Speaker 6: at any point at the in the next three to
32:12
Speaker 6: four years would be a starting quarterback and they're operating
32:15
Speaker 6: under the assumption that it's just not gonna happen.
32:17
Speaker 7: I mean, it seems obvious to me now I'm not
32:19
Speaker 7: just ten games. Yeah, my saying is out of chances,
32:22
Speaker 7: but you know, you'd have to have some sort of
32:24
Speaker 7: reclamation deal. I mean that, and we've seen that in
32:26
Speaker 7: this league a lot, right with Donald and Mack and
32:30
Speaker 7: pick your guy. But boy, I said this from the
32:33
Speaker 7: moment they drafted him, I didn't see it.
32:35
Speaker 4: I don't get it. I understand Michigan was good that year.
32:38
Speaker 4: I don't.
32:38
Speaker 7: I don't see him being a great quarterback in this league.
32:41
Speaker 7: But I'm not a great evaluator of anything like that.
32:43
Speaker 7: I just is my opinion, and so far we haven't
32:45
Speaker 7: seen him. Those questions all persist drew.
32:49
Speaker 6: The Packers, obviously haven't have their own, lost five games
32:52
Speaker 6: to close the year off.
32:53
Speaker 4: Two of their three.
32:54
Speaker 6: Best players are coming off of uh torn acls and
32:58
Speaker 6: gonna have to try to rehab from their Yeah, I
33:01
Speaker 6: don't know who's got the most questions going into free
33:03
Speaker 6: agency in the division. It might be one of the
33:05
Speaker 6: teams that was one of the biggest disappointments in football
33:08
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five and the Lion's The only thing
33:11
Speaker 6: they have is a new offensive coordinator. And you can't
33:13
Speaker 6: think it could get much worse than having to take
33:15
Speaker 6: the play calling away from the guy after five weeks.
33:18
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, are there other markets where they're buzzing
33:20
Speaker 2: about the prospect of adding Rashaun Garri or Koy Walker.
33:25
Speaker 4: Maybe the Ladder more the Ladder, I guess.
33:28
Speaker 6: But the Packers could create up to spoon at a
33:31
Speaker 6: really really good piece spot it yesterday. They can create
33:34
Speaker 6: up to seventy million dollars in cap space with all
33:37
Speaker 6: of the advanced payments, the pushing money forth into future years.
33:42
Speaker 6: Twelve million of that can come with Aaron Banks and
33:44
Speaker 6: a lot of people thought he was gonna get cut.
33:45
Speaker 4: Not happening, I don't think.
33:48
Speaker 6: But it asks if they want to right, like, do
33:50
Speaker 6: they want to mortgage a lot of it going into
33:52
Speaker 6: this year, or are they gonna, you know, prioritize try
33:56
Speaker 6: to bring some of these guys back, and maybe there's
33:58
Speaker 6: one or two of those names that we kind of
33:59
Speaker 6: have thought are fully gone and come back on a
34:02
Speaker 6: little bit cheaper deal than we were planning.
34:03
Speaker 2: Could be We're gonna close up shop when we come back.
34:07
Speaker 2: The fastest three hours of the day is between five
34:09
Speaker 2: and eight, right. The rest of the time is just
34:11
Speaker 2: wondering when I have to go to sleep.
34:13
Speaker 4: When to eat, when to sleep.

Speaker 2: of baseball season and the unofficial end of winter in Wisconsin.
36:07
Speaker 6: Yes, I know that, you know, maybe technically spring will
36:09
Speaker 6: start the week prior to it actually starts when that
36:12
Speaker 6: one happens.
36:13
Speaker 4: And uh, you know what, maybe I'm wrong.
36:16
Speaker 6: Maybe good good on MLB to move away for the
36:18
Speaker 6: world's largest Friday fish fry, because that does that does
36:21
Speaker 6: feel like it might be a little bit more important
36:23
Speaker 6: in Wisconsin than playing the second game of the season
36:25
Speaker 6: and playing the White Sox again.
36:26
Speaker 4: Like being able to have that thing cleared out.
36:29
Speaker 7: It is.
36:29
Speaker 6: It is fish fry season, and I had to find
36:31
Speaker 6: as finding the alternatives in the house because again, uh,
36:34
Speaker 6: somehow it's being overtaken by people that just love fish.
36:37
Speaker 4: I don't know, have you guys.
36:38
Speaker 6: Did you guys see yesterday the SGA look when he
36:41
Speaker 6: hit the postgame press conference?
36:43
Speaker 7: I did, Billy, and I think that is the biggest
36:45
Speaker 7: den code I've ever seen indoors. Now I understand the
36:48
Speaker 7: importance of a warm fur coat. I'm glad you mentioned it.
36:51
Speaker 4: I'm poorant.
36:51
Speaker 7: I understand the importance of a warm coat in the winter,
36:54
Speaker 7: but I don't think you need to wear it indoors,
36:56
Speaker 7: and I don't think it needs to be covering your
36:57
Speaker 7: whole head. I mean, it looks like he's gonna get
36:59
Speaker 7: attack by a badger. I don't know what's going on
37:01
Speaker 7: with that. I mean, are you, like, you know, are
37:04
Speaker 7: you Davy Crockett in that coat? Or what's going on?
37:08
Speaker 7: I mean, my good, oh my god, it looks cozy. Yeah,
37:13
Speaker 7: that's a big coach.
37:15
Speaker 4: Answering the questions in full.
37:18
Speaker 6: I mean, like the thickest of fur that you possibly
37:22
Speaker 6: could and he's doing a great job of still like
37:24
Speaker 6: it almost looks like he's in a neck brace of
37:26
Speaker 6: fur and he's still able to move it around and
37:29
Speaker 6: answer the question.
37:30
Speaker 7: It's amous And I'm more impressed with the microphone quality
37:33
Speaker 7: that picked him up. I don't know how the mic
37:35
Speaker 7: picked up anything he was saying in the midst of
37:37
Speaker 7: him being that far away with all that fur. I'm like,
37:39
Speaker 7: aren't you hot in that thing? I know that's not
37:41
Speaker 7: comfortable indoors. I know it's comfortable in general, probably outdoors.
37:46
Speaker 7: I know it's not comfortable indoors.
37:48
Speaker 4: So, I mean that was wild. That was pretty good.
37:50
Speaker 7: But uh, you know the forty five minx that had
37:54
Speaker 7: to die for him or maybe it's a fake one.
37:57
Speaker 4: I don't know.
38:00
Speaker 2: The conversation after he looks at that greatest hits of
38:04
Speaker 2: you furries up there, and so Jean Jacques Smythe from Montreal,
38:08
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, all right eight seven seven seven nine
38:10
Speaker 2: four that was the best ever. Was absolutely Pittsburgh. Maybe yeah,
38:16
Speaker 2: it was Pittsburgh.
38:16
Speaker 7: Speaking of Colts Ben in the four and force and
38:18
Speaker 7: the Bucks didn't lose. I wore my yellow Olympic coat. Yeah,
38:21
Speaker 7: maybe that's true. Maybe that was the good luxury.
38:23
Speaker 6: That's actually not a bad that's that's actually an interesting
38:25
Speaker 6: take maybe depending on if it's if it's good enough
38:28
Speaker 6: for the program, do you go back to it?
38:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would do it whatever it takes
38:31
Speaker 7: to help the Bucks win, you know.
38:33
Speaker 4: But it doesn't sound like you want doesn't sound like
38:36
Speaker 4: you really want to. I'll do it.
38:38
Speaker 2: If you really think that yellow coat was the difference,
38:40
Speaker 2: I'll do it. I mean, something's got to give. If
38:42
Speaker 2: the Bucks are playing Utah, that's two bottom ten teams.
38:45
Speaker 2: One of them's got to win. So the losing streak
38:47
Speaker 2: might come to an end.
38:48
Speaker 7: Saturday might actually come to it a hat Saturday, Well,
38:51
Speaker 7: someone's gonna have to win.
38:52
Speaker 2: As we mentioned, the bottom ten teams in the NBA
38:55
Speaker 2: aren't a combined forty four game losing streak.
38:57
Speaker 6: That is just a crazy one. Yeah, Saturday could be
39:00
Speaker 6: special day then, but Bucks win a game again. Dropkick
39:03
Speaker 6: Murphy's playing after the Admirals can't wait Shamrock Shuffle in
39:08

39:43
Speaker 6: want to do after daylight savings, especially if you don't
39:46
Speaker 6: have to wake up at three thirty in the morning.

39:53
Speaker 4: Make sure you get the lighting taken care of with
39:55
Speaker 4: current electric, no question.
39:58
Speaker 2: The only thing we didn't really hit today that I
39:59
Speaker 2: thought we would spend more time on was Aaron Rodgers'
40:02
Speaker 2: comments on McAfee Wow, run out of show.
40:06
Speaker 4: More weird stuff though, but weird.
40:08
Speaker 7: But if you're interested in air Rodgers and his kind
40:10
Speaker 7: of weirdness, he was somewhat revealing yesterday.
40:12
Speaker 4: They talked about how he's not really.
40:14
Speaker 7: Quick guys, not anymore, because he's getting stalkers with him
40:17
Speaker 7: and his wife. He thinks it's blank and bizarre that
40:19
Speaker 7: people want to know who she is and want to
40:21
Speaker 7: know about her. I kind of get it, but then
40:23
