- 1:00Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven nine four ninety seven three Your
- 1:03Speaker 2: ticket to the nicolay lot dot com talking text on
- 1:05Speaker 2: or hit us up as well on the YouTube's comments.
- 1:09Speaker 3: A great way to do it and be able to
- 1:11Speaker 3: chop it up with us throughout and also be able
- 1:14Speaker 3: to celebrate guys, like when our boss Doppler said, as
- 1:17Speaker 3: our buddy Aaron Nagler got one of his draft crushes
- 1:20Speaker 3: selected this past weekend, and it's fun to be able
- 1:23Speaker 3: to call out and identify guys and then when the
- 1:25Speaker 3: team's right drew and just picks what dude does what
- 1:28Speaker 3: you say?
- 1:29Speaker 2: Then it's smart that they finally just listen to the fans.
- 1:31Speaker 2: What's sweeter than just validation. I talked about it how
- 1:34Speaker 2: it was like the one word that kept coming back
- 1:36Speaker 2: to me was logical. This was a logical draft that
- 1:38Speaker 2: wasn't anything that you go, what he's trying to be
- 1:39Speaker 2: in the smartest guy's rooms, Like, all right, they need
- 1:41Speaker 2: a guy that seems like a pretty good guy at
- 1:43Speaker 2: that foot onto the next pick. I needed that guy now,
- 1:46Speaker 2: trading up your last two seven rounders to get a
- 1:49Speaker 2: kicker as Ballsy and people like, you know, if it
- 1:52Speaker 2: wasn't the seventh round, people would like be arching and
- 1:55Speaker 2: eyebrow at that one. But they also saw McManus puke
- 1:57Speaker 2: away some kicks and lead points on the board, so
- 2:00Speaker 2: that made some level of sense too, So it was
- 2:02Speaker 2: all logical to me. I don't want to say it
- 2:04Speaker 2: was like Chalky, but it wasn't. In some ways, it
- 2:07Speaker 2: was unpackers like, yeah, well, it's.
- 2:09Speaker 3: The fewest, the smallest draft last they've ever brought in
- 2:12Speaker 3: in franchise history, six players in it. But it also
- 2:16Speaker 3: when you think that they have a lot of spots
- 2:19Speaker 3: available depth wise, and Brian Goodokun says in the pre
- 2:22Speaker 3: draft he's like, no, I really really like the depth
- 2:24Speaker 3: of our football team. We listened during that pre draft
- 2:26Speaker 3: week and it's like, all right, how many of these
- 2:29Speaker 3: statements that he's going to say are just absolute folly?
- 2:32Speaker 1: Right?
- 2:32Speaker 3: What is he saying just to throw misdirections around. He
- 2:35Speaker 3: actually was lived up to a lot of the billing
- 2:38Speaker 3: that he said. I like to move around. He ended
- 2:39Speaker 3: up moving up instead of back, which I thought we
- 2:41Speaker 3: all anticipated he would. But when you look at the
- 2:44Speaker 3: caliber a player in this year's draft, maybe it makes
- 2:47Speaker 3: a lot more sense just to go and hunt your
- 2:49Speaker 3: spot that you want.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Well, he didn't make a lot out of himself. We
- 2:51Speaker 5: were wondering that on Saturday. You know, you said you
- 2:53Speaker 5: were gonna move around. Come out, where's the movement.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Goodie.
- 2:56Speaker 2: We were looking for some action to finally get it. Yeah,
- 2:58Speaker 2: and there it was all right. So the game balls
- 3:00Speaker 2: and kicks to the balls, you know, the drill. Hit
- 3:02Speaker 2: us up with your game balls and kicks to the balls.
- 3:05Speaker 2: If we're gonna give a game ball to Aaron Nageler,
- 3:07Speaker 2: our buddy Reegs had he say, is their pick at fifty?
- 3:12Speaker 4: Well done?
- 3:12Speaker 3: And uh and to be able to have that one
- 3:16Speaker 3: onto the wall of the like one of the youngest
- 3:18Speaker 3: players in the draft. We talked about it throughout the
- 3:20Speaker 3: weekend of like a lot of these dudes have been
- 3:22Speaker 3: in college for three, four, five, six years, Drew guys
- 3:25Speaker 3: are suing the NFL and suing to stay in college
- 3:29Speaker 3: when they used to be suing the get out of
- 3:31Speaker 3: college crazy. Now you grab one of the younger guys
- 3:34Speaker 3: in the draft at one of the more valuable positions,
- 3:36Speaker 3: hopefully you can go to get a lot of his
- 3:37Speaker 3: best football. And that's where even McClellan felt like he
- 3:42Speaker 3: was trending upwards throughout the year. And they mentioned that
- 3:45Speaker 3: a lot when they drafted big Man out of Missouri
- 3:48Speaker 3: was every single time we watched him, we liked him
- 3:50Speaker 3: more and more and he continued to get better.
- 3:53Speaker 2: If you're playing in that league, if you're playing stronger
- 3:55Speaker 2: as the season goes on, that's a good sign. That's
- 3:57Speaker 2: a good sign.
- 3:58Speaker 3: It might not hit the rookie wall like the guys do.
- 4:00Speaker 3: And also interesting, I don't know if it was an
- 4:02Speaker 3: auto correct. I don't know if it's one of those
- 4:04Speaker 3: things how you would value it or devalue it drew
- 4:09Speaker 3: like a lot of the guys that they ended up
- 4:11Speaker 3: drafting had very limited injury history, right Like there were
- 4:16Speaker 3: certain thoughts on the red flags a little bit later
- 4:18Speaker 3: on into the draft, Damai Jackson has had some injuries
- 4:22Speaker 3: or Demoni Jackson pardon me, has had some injuries maybe
- 4:26Speaker 3: in the past, and Identis Sutton maybe hasn't always been
- 4:29Speaker 3: fully healthy.
- 4:31Speaker 4: But they got a lot of guys that have played
- 4:32Speaker 4: a lot of games and have not missed a lot
- 4:34Speaker 4: of time.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I don't know if that was by design after so
- 4:38Speaker 3: many guys go down a year ago, but the durability
- 4:42Speaker 3: of the player and the football team was obviously a
- 4:45Speaker 3: big problem in twenty twenty five, and it seems like
- 4:48Speaker 3: maybe they auto corrected or tried to course correct a
- 4:50Speaker 3: little bit with some of the guys they brought in.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Indeed, kicking the balls. I'll give to a couple of
- 4:55Speaker 4: quarterbacks where saw their stockfell.
- 4:57Speaker 2: On Day three and soccer.
- 5:01Speaker 5: It was Granton Nessmayer who was waiting and waiting and waiting. Karen,
- 5:04Speaker 5: I'm sorry that Grant. Yeah, and he eventually did go
- 5:07Speaker 5: to the Chiefs. And Diego Pavia didn't get drafted at all. Right,
- 5:10Speaker 5: so that was another interesting.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Now, maybe Diego Pavio will uh will will hit it
- 5:14Speaker 3: big though on THEO Vaugh's podcast, his new stepfather, that
- 5:19Speaker 3: was still going. But there was a time and place
- 5:22Speaker 3: where it wouldn't have been big headline news that the
- 5:25Speaker 3: five to nine quarterback didn't get drafted, right, Like, I
- 5:30Speaker 3: don't know that, we're too far removed from us, just
- 5:33Speaker 3: not even thinking that he would have had an NFL future.
- 5:35Speaker 3: You got fun college player, no doubt about it. But
- 5:37Speaker 3: at no point while I was watching Diego Pavia play
- 5:40Speaker 3: at Vandy did I think NFL guy.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Now, maybe I'm wrong and maybe he'll win. He got side.
- 5:47Speaker 3: He got an invite to someone's rookie camp. Shout out
- 5:50Speaker 3: to that team that gave him the rookie camp spot.
- 5:52Speaker 3: And we'll see how it works. I would go UFL
- 5:55Speaker 3: if I was Diego Pavia. Maybe try to go get
- 5:58Speaker 3: some headlines and just say, you know what I'm to
- 6:00Speaker 3: do this spring football thing and dominate one spot because
- 6:03Speaker 3: the five pound quarterback Drew doesn't have a.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Big shelf life in the NFL at all. No, not
- 6:09Speaker 2: at all. Game Ball to the Milwaukee Film Festival, which
- 6:13Speaker 2: wrapped up yes today. He's got another strikeout and game ball.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I attended yesterday screening of a documentary about a friend
- 6:22Speaker 2: of mine, Great Beautiful World, The Infectious Joy of Pat
- 6:25Speaker 2: mccurty mc fans Uh, Peter Matsukus, Benny Kaplan and David
- 6:32Speaker 2: Spies went to Madison and they got into Pat mccurty
- 6:34Speaker 2: shows back when he was doing the Regent Street Retreat
- 6:37Speaker 2: residency on Tuesday nights. For a long time, Pat was
- 6:41Speaker 2: doing like Monday nights at Loungejacks and Chicago, Tuesday nights
- 6:44Speaker 2: at Regent Street and then Wednesdays at Celebrity Club in Milwaukee.
- 6:47Speaker 2: And his entire career is chronicled in this. And Yeah
- 6:51Speaker 2: boy made a cameo and he interviewed at an Admiral's game.
- 6:56Speaker 2: There's footage of him from all of his entire career.
- 6:59Speaker 2: But it's fantast film. Great job. I would say that
- 7:02Speaker 2: even as a guy who with Pat McCarty wasn't a
- 7:04Speaker 2: friend of mine, I would say, wow, very well done.
- 7:06Speaker 2: So is uh it's gonna go do the festival circuit
- 7:09Speaker 2: now and then maybe get released to a streaming outlets.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Well, I'm excited to be able to see it at
- 7:14Speaker 3: the streaming. You're kind of like there because Pat is
- 7:17Speaker 3: one of the true grinders and just one of the
- 7:18Speaker 3: all time good dudes, like just just a good fun
- 7:22Speaker 3: guy to be around and brings energy every single time
- 7:25Speaker 3: on there. And also high standards from Drew Olsen because
- 7:28Speaker 3: you're in it and you still said that it was good.
- 7:31Speaker 3: A lot of times, if you make a cameo, you're
- 7:33Speaker 3: just gonna downplay it and say I'm just not touching that.
- 7:35Speaker 2: I usually I can't watch myself do anything, but I
- 7:38Speaker 2: did watch the movie and thankfully it's very short. Does
- 7:40Speaker 2: that mean I'm not on screen very much?
- 7:41Speaker 4: Does that mean you had two cameos at the Milwaukee
- 7:44Speaker 4: Film Festival, Because didn't I hear that you had a
- 7:46Speaker 4: little bit.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I was in the background of the background. But now
- 7:50Speaker 2: you don't shout out to Peter and Benny and star
- 7:53Speaker 2: of Stage Cree. Pretty cool.
- 7:55Speaker 5: Shout out to the you know, the great organization that
- 7:57Speaker 5: is doing the Great Festival, but out the Pat because
- 8:00Speaker 5: you know, you can define success and failure in life
- 8:03Speaker 5: in a lot of ways, and a.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Lot of people do.
- 8:05Speaker 5: But to be a guy like that that's made so
- 8:06Speaker 5: many people happy at one point or another, that's success
- 8:09Speaker 5: no matter where you come from. That's an amazing thing.
- 8:12Speaker 5: I always thought it would be pretty cool to be.
- 8:14Speaker 5: You know, people talk about in entertainment in general, like
- 8:17Speaker 5: do you make it?
- 8:18Speaker 6: Do you not?
- 8:18Speaker 4: Can you grind out a living?
- 8:20Speaker 5: You know, there's a guy Pat mccurty that makes a
- 8:23Speaker 5: living doing what he loves and makes a lot of
- 8:25Speaker 5: people happy.
- 8:25Speaker 4: He's enjoyed doing it for a long time. So pretty awesome.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yeah, that's That's kind of the gist of the movie
- 8:30Speaker 2: is that no matter what mood you're in, you go
- 8:31Speaker 2: to a pet show, you leave feeling better.
- 8:33Speaker 5: And that's how I always felt. You know, I have
- 8:35Speaker 5: a lot of shirt once and that's a big deal
- 8:37Speaker 5: for me.
- 8:37Speaker 2: That's a big deal. And well Pat had like you know,
- 8:42Speaker 2: he like made the triple a circuit with bands, his
- 8:46Speaker 2: man Yipes, got signed to a national label. They opened
- 8:48Speaker 2: for a lot of big bands and they just never
- 8:49Speaker 2: cracked through. And then he had the Confidentials and that
- 8:52Speaker 2: meant about time. He was on star search with a
- 8:54Speaker 2: band and then started playing solo shows when he had
- 8:57Speaker 2: never done it before and kind of like invented his
- 9:00Speaker 2: own genre his like in one of the scenes, his
- 9:03Speaker 2: wife Bethany said that, like people ask him, like, what
- 9:05Speaker 2: kind of show is that kind of music does play?
- 9:07Speaker 2: It's hard, you can't describe it. You got to see it.
- 9:10Speaker 2: It's like not he's it a comedy, No, but it's funny.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Is it like music?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you just got to see it. Is
- 9:16Speaker 2: it a cabaret? Is it a variety show? Every night
- 9:19Speaker 2: is different, Every show is different, Every show is tailored
- 9:22Speaker 2: to that audience, and the audience participation is a huge
- 9:26Speaker 2: part of his show. And one of the things Pat
- 9:28Speaker 2: realized and said in the movie is that he missed
- 9:30Speaker 2: the camaraderie of the band and like the connection you
- 9:33Speaker 2: have with your it's also against the world step, but
- 9:35Speaker 2: then he got that from the audience. So the audience
- 9:38Speaker 2: is like in the band and when you see a
- 9:40Speaker 2: shows and it's very unique. It's hard to describe, and
- 9:42Speaker 2: the guys did a great job of chronicling it and
- 9:44Speaker 2: what it means to people. So it's just a great movie.
- 9:46Speaker 2: I would recommend it to anybody, whether you're a Pat
- 9:48Speaker 2: McCarty fan or just a you know, in a film
- 9:51Speaker 2: buffer a.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Music fan in a world now where, especially in comedy,
- 9:54Speaker 3: like crowd work is what everybody is posting nowadays, Like
- 9:58Speaker 3: some of the crowd work that has done over the years,
- 10:01Speaker 3: like that would be So those would be matt Reif style.
- 10:04Speaker 2: You enjoy those clips big time. The improv of making
- 10:07Speaker 2: up songs, you know, that's I'm in from Greenfield. He'll rhyme,
- 10:11Speaker 2: He'll do it verse on the spot and rhyme your
- 10:13Speaker 2: first name in your hometown.
- 10:14Speaker 5: And what always amazed me about him, of all the
- 10:17Speaker 5: things he does, is that part of it, like the musical.
- 10:20Speaker 5: I mean, you've got to be have some musical genius
- 10:22Speaker 5: to be able to write so many songs in the spot,
- 10:24Speaker 5: and that's what he does. I mean, that is an
- 10:26Speaker 5: incredible thing to witness. He said he's written how many thousands?
- 10:29Speaker 2: Over a thousand, yeah, over over a third.
- 10:31Speaker 4: It's just so awesome. That's so cool.
- 10:32Speaker 5: That he got that got that project and everything was
- 10:36Speaker 5: featured in that.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Yeah, that movie is just really cool.
- 10:38Speaker 4: I'll check that out.
- 10:39Speaker 2: A big game it's pretty well yeah, Big game ball
- 10:41Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven three. Obviously the draft was the
- 10:45Speaker 2: big story. Still no smoke from the Chimney at Ffiser Forum,
- 10:49Speaker 2: but I expect the Bucks to have a press conference
- 10:51Speaker 2: at some point this week to introduce Taylor Jenkins, because
- 10:53Speaker 2: it's like, well, we're gonna hear from Taylor Jenkins before
- 10:57Speaker 2: we hear from Jonathan.
- 10:58Speaker 4: I was just gonna go sight mean, is that a
- 11:00Speaker 4: game ball or kick to the ball to I don't know.
- 11:03Speaker 2: But it's just bizarre. They had the entire media industrial
- 11:06Speaker 2: complex waiting there and like, to me that Thursday would
- 11:10Speaker 2: have been a good day. Throw some chump in the water.
- 11:12Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, would have been a good one.
- 11:14Speaker 4: It would have been a good time to get out there.
- 11:16Speaker 3: I think they would have loved to be able to
- 11:18Speaker 3: hammer out and finish that Jade Reid contract on Thursday.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Right now, maybe Drew.
- 11:23Speaker 3: I still think the NFL has a little bit of
- 11:25Speaker 3: a deal with these teams of Hey, nothing on Thursday, right,
- 11:29Speaker 3: nothing on Thursday, especially after the Rogers Deal a couple
- 11:32Speaker 3: of years, especially after that hijack the entire round number one.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Let's just let these boys have their moment and you
- 11:38Speaker 3: can announce your signings and your your extensions coming up
- 11:41Speaker 3: on Friday, because a couple of different teams did it.
- 11:44Speaker 3: I wonder when, and maybe the better question will be
- 11:49Speaker 3: who will be in attendance for Taylor Jenkins press conference?
- 11:53Speaker 4: Will there be a number thirty four? Hangout in the back?
- 11:56Speaker 4: Will there be three?
- 11:58Speaker 6: Right? Like?
- 12:00Speaker 3: And they would have done it last week while he
- 12:01Speaker 3: was apparently walking around showing him schools, but he said
- 12:06Speaker 3: peace out, I'll see you guys later.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Hung around long enough for Taylor Jenkins to get the game.
- 12:10Speaker 3: I was gonna say, to get pen to paper, but
- 12:12Speaker 3: the introduction, he might be be elsewhere for it, and
- 12:16Speaker 3: who goes in?
- 12:16Speaker 5: And he's been symbolic at some of those things to
- 12:18Speaker 5: show his face, like he was there for Peter Fagan's
- 12:20Speaker 5: Key to the City farewell. Yes, and I would have
- 12:23Speaker 5: to think that was somewhat symbolic, you know.
- 12:24Speaker 2: However, so it's like, however, if you're reading the tea
- 12:27Speaker 2: leaves onto the Cumbros stores having like a seventy percent
- 12:30Speaker 2: off sale online.
- 12:31Speaker 4: So waits a good deal.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Everyone likes a good deal everyone likes Is that enough
- 12:36Speaker 3: for you to be able to go and buy some
- 12:37Speaker 3: a b merch?
- 12:38Speaker 5: I mean seventy percent off is absolutely tantalizing. But yeah,
- 12:42Speaker 5: I mean that's the tough thing.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Now.
- 12:44Speaker 3: It was never priced like Sunday Red right, Like it
- 12:47Speaker 3: was never We're not talking like one hundred dollars for
- 12:49Speaker 3: a T shirt thing, right.
- 12:50Speaker 2: I can't say I've gone in shot.
- 12:52Speaker 4: I haven't shot there. I'll be honest with you. It's
- 12:54Speaker 4: not that I think the clothes are too cool for
- 12:57Speaker 4: me to call for me. I mean, that's just what
- 12:58Speaker 4: it is.
- 12:59Speaker 5: I'm not that guy anymy, I mean kicking the balls
- 13:01Speaker 5: to my cool factor. I'm in my forties. I don't
- 13:03Speaker 5: know what that's sweet new haircut you got? Did get
- 13:05Speaker 5: a haircut that you know shout out game ball to
- 13:09Speaker 5: great clips? But yeah, I didn't say it was that
- 13:12Speaker 5: good a game ball to?
- 13:13Speaker 2: But yeah, so is it worth kicking? I don't even
- 13:16Speaker 2: know if it's worth it because anybody who's talks in
- 13:19Speaker 2: to a microphone you might have a brain fert. You
- 13:21Speaker 2: might say something stupid.
- 13:22Speaker 4: I've done it many times.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Green Band soccer Mike on day two of the draft.
- 13:28Speaker 2: He's getting crushed because the Brown selected Denzel Boston and
- 13:32Speaker 2: he made the leap saying that is father David Boston
- 13:35Speaker 2: was and they are not related.
- 13:40Speaker 5: It's tough because his platform is bigger. But it's like,
- 13:42Speaker 5: I know I made mistakes, so I don't like to
- 13:44Speaker 5: crash guys for stuff like that. Although I will say,
- 13:47Speaker 5: like somehow got in his notes or did he just
- 13:49Speaker 5: take a leap of faith on that one.
- 13:51Speaker 2: I don't know, but it was like the thing was
- 13:53Speaker 2: that he was drafted by Cleveland and David Boston was
- 13:56Speaker 2: an Ohio State guy, so.
- 13:59Speaker 4: That was the kind That was how he tried to
- 14:01Speaker 4: tie it together, I guess.
- 14:02Speaker 2: But then that's the double whammy is like the people
- 14:04Speaker 2: in Cleveland they know because they follow Ohio State too,
- 14:09Speaker 2: like they know they're familiar with that guy. Like, wait
- 14:12Speaker 2: a minute, that ain't right. It's definitely not it.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I just don't think he would have guessed that.
- 14:15Speaker 5: I mean because he could be his uncle too, Like,
- 14:18Speaker 5: so it seems like somewhere in the chain of command
- 14:20Speaker 5: that was put on a note somewhere by someone who
- 14:22Speaker 5: got it wrong.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Trying to blame a producer's apologized, Yeah, I don't know.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Someone put a bad thing on his card. I'm not
- 14:31Speaker 4: going to blame him.
- 14:33Speaker 3: They kicking the ball for you goes to blaming a
- 14:35Speaker 3: producer instead of talent.
- 14:38Speaker 2: He said, it was in my research. It was my research.
- 14:42Speaker 5: Like that, guys gonna take the bullet for the young
- 14:45Speaker 5: young producer trying to.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Oh, you're doubling down on it.
- 14:49Speaker 4: You don't think Greenie could make a mistake like that.
- 14:51Speaker 4: I just think it's no. I definitely think he could.
- 14:53Speaker 5: God, I just think it's odd that he would have
- 14:55Speaker 5: just guessed that, Like maybe he just assumed it, or
- 14:58Speaker 5: maybe he heard it wrong somewhere, or maybe he just
- 15:00Speaker 5: tried to be cool, be like throw something out here
- 15:03Speaker 5: and see if it sticks.
- 15:04Speaker 4: I've tried that.
- 15:05Speaker 5: I mean I have quickly pun a Wikipedia for some
- 15:07Speaker 5: sort of tidbit and it's been wrong, and I've luckily
- 15:10Speaker 5: you know, as a you know, got that.
- 15:13Speaker 4: But like, yeah, I've done that. I mean I just
- 15:16Speaker 4: said gretton Usmeyer five minutes ago.
- 15:18Speaker 6: So there you go.
- 15:19Speaker 2: There you go. That's fair. All right, game ball to
- 15:21Speaker 2: everybody who has memories from the weekend of the Mifland
- 15:25Speaker 2: Street block Party's got another strikeout, maybe even the thirty
- 15:29Speaker 2: seven people who were arrested. Twenty thousand people at the
- 15:34Speaker 2: block parties, a couple of fights on State Street, some arrests,
- 15:37Speaker 2: apparently there were some firearms confiscated.
- 15:40Speaker 6: Kids.
- 15:40Speaker 4: We're still going on. At least no porches collapse.
- 15:43Speaker 3: I was gonna say, no, no porch collapse, the burning
- 15:45Speaker 3: into any couches out there at all.
- 15:47Speaker 2: But the Midland Street block party is such a it's
- 15:50Speaker 2: such a staple.
- 15:51Speaker 4: It is like kudos kids on go au anymore.
- 15:55Speaker 3: That's gonna be the last thing to go, right, Billy,
- 15:57Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I think the Darty, especially in Wisconsin,
- 16:00Speaker 3: is gonna be the last thing to go, because there's
- 16:03Speaker 3: nothing like drinking when the sun's out right. There's nothing
- 16:06Speaker 3: like being pent up all winter long and then that
- 16:09Speaker 3: first taste of sixty degrees and sunshine and a Saturday.
- 16:14Speaker 3: So they've had a little bit of practice because it's
- 16:16Speaker 3: gotten a little bit nicer out there, But they're doing the.
- 16:19Speaker 5: Bed sheets still, where they're hanging stuff off the bed sheets,
- 16:21Speaker 5: off the balconies and stuff.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Is that a big thing? Is this like the content Olympics?
- 16:25Speaker 4: Potentially so?
- 16:26Speaker 3: But I think I think you'd be more impressed with
- 16:28Speaker 3: what Maybe it's just like the the frats that you
- 16:31Speaker 3: drive by at certain institutions. I don't know that there's
- 16:35Speaker 3: slum in the parties as much as they used to.
- 16:37Speaker 4: I see what you're saying, like, it's not.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's some pretty impressive thrownouts
- 16:43Speaker 3: going down nowadays.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Pretty good. All right, that's pretty good. Billy who is
- 16:47Speaker 2: our current electric superhero to day. A lot of candidates,
- 16:50Speaker 2: a lot of Canada cannon. But let me give you,
- 16:53Speaker 2: let me give you a superhero story from the world.
- 16:55Speaker 4: At golf.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Brotherly love.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick one the PGA Zurich Classic

- 17:07Speaker 3: with the win, was able to get his PGA card.
- 17:11Speaker 3: A fantastic finish for the Fitzpatrick family. Mother and father
- 17:14Speaker 3: beaming along the eighteenth green at TPC Louisiana as Matrickan's
- 17:19Speaker 3: younger brother combined for a one under seventy one in
- 17:22Speaker 3: the alternate shot game, pulled out a dramatic one stroke victory,
- 17:28Speaker 3: and the win gave the younger Fitzpatrick his PGA Tour
- 17:31Speaker 3: card for his first time. He said, for a team
- 17:34Speaker 3: event in the PGA with my brother. I don't know
- 17:37Speaker 3: if it could be any better than that. How cool
- 17:40Speaker 3: is that to be able to help your brother get
- 17:41Speaker 3: onto the PGA tour and get a dub in the

- 18:24Speaker 2: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew billion Arman bringing
- 18:27Speaker 2: it to you. Big day at the Brewers game yesterday,
- 18:32Speaker 2: avoiding a sweep riding the wonderful start by Kyle Harrison
- 18:37Speaker 2: twelve tons.
- 18:38Speaker 4: I love watching that left handed delivery.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Just I love listening to BA and Rock and joining
- 18:44Speaker 2: us now from Brewers tv R pal Bill Schroeder, Rock,
- 18:47Speaker 2: good morning, welcome to the program.
- 18:50Speaker 6: Thanks you guys, appreciate it.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Nice win yesterday, it was Oh the Brewers needed that
- 18:55Speaker 2: big time after a tough, tough game against Skeens who
- 18:58Speaker 2: was unbelievable, and then a tough life Saturday. To come
- 19:00Speaker 2: out and get that dub was huge.
- 19:03Speaker 5: Rock.
- 19:04Speaker 2: What can you say about Harrison Man? That was impressive?
- 19:07Speaker 1: Yeah, the fastball, it's tucking invisible, right, I mean pretty straight.
- 19:13Speaker 1: It's you know, in mid nineties, and you know the
- 19:16Speaker 1: sweeper was really good through a few change ups. And
- 19:19Speaker 1: I tell you the kid, he was impressive yesterday. Twelve punts.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I think the Pirates struck out seventeen times yesterday.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Eighteen yeah, eighteen.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm always miscounting. They say there's no Manthonis business anyway,
- 19:36Speaker 1: but I mean, yeah, but Harrison had twelve of them.
- 19:39Speaker 1: But you know, it's something about that delivery. It kind
- 19:42Speaker 1: of just jumps at the hitter. It's a pretty straight
- 19:45Speaker 1: fastball spin rate good stays up in his own and.
- 19:50Speaker 6: Pirate's pretty good offense.
- 19:51Speaker 1: But you know they had three of their big hitters
- 19:53Speaker 1: out of the lineup because the lefty was in there
- 19:55Speaker 1: yesterday for the Brewers and he just carved him up.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Can you tell us, like from your vantage point, because
- 20:02Speaker 2: in the book If These Walls could Talk, we talk
- 20:05Speaker 2: about your ability to diagnose pitches and call them as
- 20:08Speaker 2: a former catcher, and you're watching and you can see
- 20:10Speaker 2: the break of the pitches. You might be looking at
- 20:11Speaker 2: the monitor to see what's the difference between a slider
- 20:14Speaker 2: and a sweeper, because damn if I can tell what
- 20:16Speaker 2: some guys it's what you call it, right, yeah, right?
- 20:19Speaker 1: I mean you can call it anything you want. I mean,
- 20:21Speaker 1: you know, you know Skeet has called his split finger fastball, splinker,
- 20:25Speaker 1: so you know, whatever, whatever you want to call a pitch,
- 20:27Speaker 1: I mean, you can call it. But you know, the slider,
- 20:30Speaker 1: you know, the slider is you know, thrown a little
- 20:32Speaker 1: bit harder. There's more of a downward movement to it
- 20:37Speaker 1: and going across. But you know, a sweeper is more
- 20:40Speaker 1: of a bigger break, not thrown as hard, more of
- 20:45Speaker 1: a if you're a right handed pitcher, it's more of
- 20:47Speaker 1: a right to left break and it doesn't go down
- 20:51Speaker 1: as much.
- 20:52Speaker 6: But everybody's pitches are different.
- 20:55Speaker 1: It's it's a matter of, you know, the release point
- 20:57Speaker 1: and the grip and what kind of a spin you
- 20:59Speaker 1: want to put on baseball. But I think if you
- 21:02Speaker 1: look at five different pitchers that drove sweepers, they're all
- 21:05Speaker 1: going to break a little bit differently. So they used
- 21:08Speaker 1: to call, you know, the the sweeper kind of a
- 21:11Speaker 1: roundhouse curveball back in the old days.
- 21:13Speaker 6: So maybe coming to.
- 21:16Speaker 2: What happened to the slurve, because I think that's the
- 21:19Speaker 2: same thing.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I think that's the same that's the same thing I think.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'll all about what you know,
- 21:26Speaker 1: people want to call stuff. You know, it's like, I
- 21:28Speaker 1: don't know.
- 21:28Speaker 3: I mean then frankly, what they do is find for
- 21:31Speaker 3: find some different names and then trademark them and then
- 21:33Speaker 3: you can make some cash on it. I mean, if
- 21:35Speaker 3: if I'm Steens, I'm running with that splinker trademark that yeah.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Yeah, Well accordingly the Pirate guys, he hadn't been throwing
- 21:43Speaker 1: the splinker as much, you know, And I said to
- 21:45Speaker 1: him after the game, I said, well, what the heck
- 21:47Speaker 1: was it that he was throwing, throwing a splitter it
- 21:50Speaker 1: about ninety four miles an hour, ninety five. I mean,
- 21:53Speaker 1: well that's a good splitter. You know, he had a
- 21:55Speaker 1: really good one the other you know, tonight I'm walking
- 21:57Speaker 1: out with the you know, the rock, John Wainer and
- 22:01Speaker 1: Matt Kapps, you know there there were analysts over there
- 22:04Speaker 1: and he was just unhittable that night. But you know again,
- 22:08Speaker 1: you know, roses a rose no matter what you want
- 22:11Speaker 1: to call it, right, that's right.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Commend to that. Talking to Bill Schroeder from Brewers TV
- 22:15Speaker 2: or a great uh victory for the Brews yesterday, tough
- 22:18Speaker 2: one Saturday night Rocks. There were some folks are wondering
- 22:20Speaker 2: if they were ever going to win in these Whisco jerseys,
- 22:23Speaker 2: and they finally you might have to bury him rocket.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Yeah, those things might have to get cast all the
- 22:31Speaker 3: way to the absolute basement and some batting practice jers there.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Maybe you can give him away next year at Fantasy
- 22:37Speaker 3: camp and we can use those and.
- 22:38Speaker 1: We can get some I'm just looking forward to the
- 22:40Speaker 1: first win so we can just put an end of
- 22:42Speaker 1: the whole whisko.
- 22:44Speaker 4: That'd be nice one, Yeah, that'd be nice.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I do love them. I do love the Bobber logo.
- 22:50Speaker 1: I mean, it's really a cool thing. The bober on
- 22:53Speaker 1: the shirts and you know they have the you know,
- 22:56Speaker 1: the quarters hips with the Bobbers and you look that and.
- 23:00Speaker 3: The supper club stuff. You get the supper club works.
- 23:03Speaker 3: I mean, as long as that primrim sandwich days, I'll
- 23:05Speaker 3: be okay with it. And and I'm I'm gonna I'll
- 23:08Speaker 3: give in a little bit.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, go ahead. And they brought one of
- 23:14Speaker 1: those up when they first opened that up and sitting
- 23:16Speaker 1: right next to me for about two innings because you
- 23:19Speaker 1: can't start eating something like that, you know, in the
- 23:21Speaker 1: middle of an inning, because you're gonna miss about, you know,
- 23:23Speaker 1: four or five hitters, you know.
- 23:24Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, the worst is the worst is just salivating,
- 23:29Speaker 3: salivate like Drew and I. They they bring us wings
- 23:32Speaker 3: during our football feast, right at the start of the segment,
- 23:35Speaker 3: so you can sit there and look at it.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Just went mad and dream about it.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and even worse and even worse when they brought
- 23:42Speaker 1: up the old fashioned sat it right next to me,
- 23:44Speaker 1: and I took a little ship above it that they
- 23:49Speaker 1: sat there, and then you know, the ice melted. I said,
- 23:51Speaker 1: go get me some ice and then you know, at
- 23:53Speaker 1: the end of the game, it just kind.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Of killed it.
- 23:55Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, and one's not enough and threes too.
- 23:58Speaker 2: That's right.
- 23:59Speaker 3: So Rock when you talk about Harrison and you said,
- 24:02Speaker 3: you know the credits to the guy, so many of
- 24:04Speaker 3: us just watching immediately give a lot of credit to
- 24:07Speaker 3: Chris Hook and I don't believe. Obviously, the Brewer's brain
- 24:10Speaker 3: trust in the pitching department deserves a lot of credit
- 24:13Speaker 3: for how they've been able to develop young guys. But
- 24:15Speaker 3: Harrison in particular, he seems like he really deserves some
- 24:19Speaker 3: credit into not being not taking too much to heart
- 24:23Speaker 3: some of the struggles or the inconsistencies he's at early
- 24:26Speaker 3: on in his career.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Is that fair?
- 24:29Speaker 6: Well?
- 24:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And what Chris Hulk can the Brewers do?
- 24:31Speaker 1: I mean, they have a guy come over, They don't
- 24:34Speaker 1: all of a sudden right away, you know, looking at
- 24:37Speaker 1: video of them, you know when they were other teams,
- 24:39Speaker 1: like with the Giants and with the Red Sox and
- 24:42Speaker 1: say this is what you need to do before you
- 24:43Speaker 1: even see him throw. What they do is they let them.
- 24:46Speaker 1: They still want it a little bit. They watched the guy,
- 24:48Speaker 1: they let him pitch and then they make some recommendations.
- 24:52Speaker 1: You know, what they did with Harrison not a whole lot.
- 24:55Speaker 1: They just let them be himself. They hold him do
- 24:58Speaker 1: be you, you know, and throw the fans ball that
- 25:00Speaker 1: you wanted, be on the right side of the mound,
- 25:02Speaker 1: whatever side you want to be, and figure it out
- 25:05Speaker 1: at that point. You know, the Red Sides wanted to
- 25:07Speaker 1: make him a reliever, and that wasn't his forte.
- 25:11Speaker 6: You know, he wanted to be a starter.
- 25:13Speaker 1: And he is a young kid. He's still learning. And
- 25:16Speaker 1: that's the thing about Chris Hill and Jim Henderson and
- 25:18Speaker 1: this pitching group, you know, they do a lot to
- 25:22Speaker 1: help these guys. They have the pitching lad down in
- 25:24Speaker 1: Arizona and they work on them throughout the off season.
- 25:27Speaker 1: But the one thing that they do do so well
- 25:30Speaker 1: is let the guys be themselves and let them figure
- 25:32Speaker 1: it out a lot of the time on their own
- 25:35Speaker 1: and not put too much into their head. And that's
- 25:38Speaker 1: kind of the formula. Seems to be working for these guys.
- 25:41Speaker 2: What's working for Trevor McGill rock That was a fifth
- 25:44Speaker 2: straight scoreless outing after that rough pane. He seems to
- 25:48Speaker 2: figure things out.
- 25:48Speaker 6: Yeah, curveball, curveball, curveball. Can you say it with me?
- 25:53Speaker 1: He had a really good curveball yesterday. You know, when
- 25:56Speaker 1: he throws the curveball like he did yesterday, he's going
- 25:58Speaker 1: to be good. He's going to be really good when
- 26:01Speaker 1: he when he's bouncing it and when he's hanging it
- 26:03Speaker 1: and he's not throwing strikes with it and it's just
- 26:06Speaker 1: fastball which is fairly straight. You know, he's throwing in
- 26:09Speaker 1: the upper nineties. But he's starting to starting to land
- 26:12Speaker 1: the curveball again. He threw some really good ones yesterday.
- 26:15Speaker 1: He got a couple of strikeouts on the curveball. So
- 26:18Speaker 1: it is real simple. Is real simple for Trevor Het
- 26:20Speaker 1: Just throw the curveball the way you did last year
- 26:23Speaker 1: and you're going to be fine.
- 26:24Speaker 3: How impressive is what Jake Bauers is doing for the
- 26:27Speaker 3: whole month's rock Because we had joked about it and
- 26:30Speaker 3: Drew Drew and I tried to not put the Brad
- 26:32Speaker 3: Nelson tag on him, like dominate during spring training and
- 26:34Speaker 3: then let's see what happens when you actually get get.
- 26:37Speaker 2: To the regular season.
- 26:38Speaker 3: But he's been really, really good in the time where
- 26:40Speaker 3: they've needed someone consistently to provide at least a little
- 26:44Speaker 3: bit of pot.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're pregnant see him against leftist too, you
- 26:48Speaker 1: know now, because you know, until Barney gets back and
- 26:50Speaker 1: he's starting to take batting practice, I don't know how
- 26:53Speaker 1: much longer it's going to be before he goes on
- 26:55Speaker 1: a rehabit signment, but they can use him back.
- 26:58Speaker 6: He and Churio.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they're going to be back sometime, you know,
- 27:02Speaker 1: mid May, and that's definitely a possibility. But you know,
- 27:06Speaker 1: it just goes to show you that you give a
- 27:07Speaker 1: guy a little bit of confidence, you put them in
- 27:09Speaker 1: the lineup, you let him struggle, and you let him
- 27:12Speaker 1: you know, what you do is he comes to the
- 27:14Speaker 1: ballpark every day.
- 27:15Speaker 6: He knew he's just gonna play.
- 27:16Speaker 1: And that relaxes it, you know. And he's been terrific
- 27:21Speaker 1: and not only not only his his offense, but his defense.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I know he's made a couple of errors this year,
- 27:26Speaker 1: but there's nobody slicker.
- 27:28Speaker 6: Around the bag.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And then Jig Bowers, I mean the footwork, the hands,
- 27:31Speaker 1: the throws. I only meant it kind of a shaky
- 27:34Speaker 1: throw in yesterday's game, but still the guy's rising to
- 27:38Speaker 1: the occasion. And you know when you have a lot
- 27:41Speaker 1: of your bench players being asked to be everyday players
- 27:44Speaker 1: and provide offense and do those kinds of things while
- 27:47Speaker 1: your big sluggers are out. That's asking a lot. Not
- 27:50Speaker 1: only does the weekend you line up the weekends your
- 27:52Speaker 1: bench as well. So Bowers has stepped it up and
- 27:55Speaker 1: it's good that he's done that.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Talking to Bell Schroder Brewers TV here on the Huddle Rock,
- 28:00Speaker 2: I've been a little skeptical with people saying that the
- 28:03Speaker 2: Pirates are better, but after watching this weekend, they are better.
- 28:07Speaker 2: And not only Connor Griffin is going to be a
- 28:10Speaker 2: problem for a long time, but O'Neil Cruz seems to
- 28:14Speaker 2: have figured some things out as well well.
- 28:17Speaker 1: The brew has handled him pretty well, didn't they over
- 28:19Speaker 1: the weekend. I don't think you got to hit. I mean,
- 28:21Speaker 1: maybe he might have got one hit, but they struck
- 28:24Speaker 1: it out a bunch he had, but I think four
- 28:26Speaker 1: or five strikeouts on Saturday night.
- 28:29Speaker 6: He's been much better against lefties.
- 28:31Speaker 1: He's got a lot of work to do in center field,
- 28:34Speaker 1: but he certainly has the ability.
- 28:36Speaker 6: He's been really good.
- 28:37Speaker 1: And you know, the Pirates have done a lot of
- 28:39Speaker 1: good things. They've added some veteran guys to solidify that
- 28:42Speaker 1: lineup and and helping that clubhouse. You know, they got
- 28:45Speaker 1: a Zuna over there, they got Brandon Lowell, they got O'Hearn.
- 28:49Speaker 1: These guys are veteran guys that know how to play baseball,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and I think it's been a big help. But you're right,
- 28:54Speaker 1: kind of Griffin is going to be a good player
- 28:56Speaker 1: right now. His swings a little bit long, a little
- 28:59Speaker 1: bit loopy, but he's had a pretty good right field
- 29:01Speaker 1: stroke though, and he's a terrific short step.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Yeah, he's looking good. And you're a favorite all time opponent,
- 29:06Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds, the Killer.
- 29:10Speaker 1: He didn't do a whole lot. I know, he got
- 29:12Speaker 1: a big hit, you know, in the tenth inning. But
- 29:16Speaker 1: you know, I think with the addition is that you
- 29:18Speaker 1: know the Pirates have put around him in the lineup,
- 29:20Speaker 1: it's just going to help him because he's always been
- 29:22Speaker 1: the get on in that lineup and he's been a
- 29:24Speaker 1: Brewer killer. Although Brewers handled him pretty well over over
- 29:28Speaker 1: the weekend. But you know, don't rest on your laurels
- 29:31Speaker 1: because that guy sometimes he can be a one man
- 29:34Speaker 1: wrecking crew against the Brewers.
- 29:36Speaker 3: All right, Rock, this might be the est sports radio
- 29:38Speaker 3: question of all time, of which which injured guy to
- 29:41Speaker 3: the Brewers need back the most, But you mentioned Andrew
- 29:44Speaker 3: Vaughn and at first base, hours and and Sanchez have
- 29:47Speaker 3: done a good job holding it down. You haven't seen
- 29:49Speaker 3: Churio all year, and Yelich was just so good to start.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Which of those guys seems like we're gonna get Suurio
- 29:55Speaker 3: back first, but with how they produced in the outfield,
- 29:58Speaker 3: which of those you think is the most important for
- 30:00Speaker 3: them to get back as soon as possible.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Who do they miss the most? I would have to
- 30:04Speaker 1: say Yellie. I mean there's no doubt about that. I
- 30:06Speaker 1: mean he's the kind of the glue that keeps everything together,
- 30:09Speaker 1: not just on the field, you know in the clubhouse
- 30:12Speaker 1: and you know when you're when your star player is
- 30:15Speaker 1: out and not playing, he doesn't have that emotional impact
- 30:18Speaker 1: that he does when he's out there and playing every
- 30:20Speaker 1: single day. So you know, veteran guy's been there, done that.
- 30:23Speaker 6: M v P.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I mean, guys looked at him, you know, for guidance,
- 30:27Speaker 1: and they look at him when things are going bad.
- 30:28Speaker 1: They look at him and things are going well and
- 30:30Speaker 1: they try and mimic him. So with him had a
- 30:33Speaker 1: lineup that's a big loss, not just what he does
- 30:36Speaker 1: on the field, but all the other things that he
- 30:38Speaker 1: provides as well.
- 30:39Speaker 2: You know, Rock there was that the way the series
- 30:43Speaker 2: started with Skeins just shoving and taking a no hitter
- 30:45Speaker 2: into the seventh, You're wondering, is he gonna Is this
- 30:49Speaker 2: going to be the night? And I thought, Wow, he's
- 30:50Speaker 2: gonna putch a no hitter and no one in Pittsburgh's
- 30:51Speaker 2: going to see it because they're all watching the draft live,
- 30:55Speaker 2: and it would have been the lowest rated no hitter
- 30:58Speaker 2: in history. But there wasn't going to be a chance
- 31:01Speaker 2: they were gonna even if he had gotten through and
- 31:03Speaker 2: Bowers hadn't gotten that hit, he was at ninety some
- 31:05Speaker 2: pitches through, like he wasn't going to get a chance
- 31:09Speaker 2: to finish that.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shame, isn't it. I mean, you know
- 31:15Speaker 1: the way baseball is and allow these guys to you know,
- 31:19Speaker 1: you know, get that pitch count up a little bit.
- 31:21Speaker 1: You know, I was in Triple A. You know, we
- 31:22Speaker 1: had a frind a picture named Frank Depino. I think
- 31:25Speaker 1: you guys remember remember that name. He was in Triple A.
- 31:28Speaker 1: He threw one hundred and seventy five pitches one day.
- 31:31Speaker 1: And of course you know the manager. That manager about
- 31:35Speaker 1: a few days later after that game, he got fired.
- 31:37Speaker 1: So we can't have Frank and Peedo throw one hundred
- 31:42Speaker 1: and seventy five pitches, you know. But you know, Skemes
- 31:45Speaker 1: was on a different level. It was great to see,
- 31:48Speaker 1: you know, Bowers with that base that nobody wants to
- 31:52Speaker 1: see a no hitter. I know, I don't want to
- 31:54Speaker 1: see a no hitter. Well, he talked about the least
- 31:58Speaker 1: watched no hitter of all time. Remember Scott Everyson, you know, Yeah,
- 32:02Speaker 1: in Minnesota. That game was not on TV in Minnesota
- 32:06Speaker 1: or in Milwaukee. It was a day game, and so
- 32:08Speaker 1: you don't even have video talk about talking about wearing one.
- 32:15Speaker 1: That's that's bad.
- 32:16Speaker 5: That is.
- 32:18Speaker 2: The kids can't go to YouTube and see it. The
- 32:20Speaker 2: grand kids can't.
- 32:21Speaker 3: He talked about not being in the team picture because
- 32:24Speaker 3: he was hung over over slept the team picture in Atlanta.
- 32:26Speaker 2: You weren't on that team, You're lion sacked.
- 32:30Speaker 6: The radio radio we played don't even have any TV.
- 32:34Speaker 5: Keep but as an MP three on your phone, you know,
- 32:37Speaker 5: keep it as an EMO the video you get show
- 32:39Speaker 5: the radio, yeah, or you just print out a print
- 32:42Speaker 5: out the sheet of the Baseball reference page.
- 32:46Speaker 2: When we talk about that Friday matchup Rock the thing
- 32:48Speaker 2: that gets hidden because I thought Wood he pitched, okay,
- 32:51Speaker 2: you know, he kept in the game if Skeens hadn't
- 32:54Speaker 2: been pitching. Skeens was otherworldly good. So that was cool
- 32:57Speaker 2: to see. But Shane Dron picking up the four innings
- 32:59Speaker 2: and saving the pen, you got to get some kind
- 33:03Speaker 2: of special award for that because that could have gone
- 33:05Speaker 2: sad ways and what he did is commendable.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know that the team has the day
- 33:12Speaker 1: off before Arizona comes in here tomorrow, so yeah, I mean,
- 33:16Speaker 1: anytime you get a guy out of the bullpen and
- 33:17Speaker 1: he's a starter, you know, down in the minors, and
- 33:20Speaker 1: you know, so he was stretched out enough to be
- 33:22Speaker 1: able to throw four inning, did a pretty good job,
- 33:24Speaker 1: you know. So you always need guys, your long relievers
- 33:28Speaker 1: down in that bullpen to pick up everybody else. So
- 33:31Speaker 1: it's good that he was able to do that. It
- 33:33Speaker 1: helped the bullpen and the rest of the day yesterday.
- 33:35Speaker 1: It was a really good job by the bullpen. I mean,
- 33:37Speaker 1: Aaron Ashley, let me tell you something. This guy, I mean,
- 33:40Speaker 1: I don't know how he ever gives up any hits.
- 33:42Speaker 1: I mean the way his fastball moves and that curveball,
- 33:45Speaker 1: and you know controversy actually blocking those curveballs in the dirt.
- 33:49Speaker 6: With a man at third base.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I mean that, you know, when the picture is confident
- 33:53Speaker 1: in the catcher to be able to throw a curveball
- 33:55Speaker 1: in the dirt like that, no matter when the situation,
- 33:58Speaker 1: You're not going to hang him, right, You're not going
- 33:59Speaker 1: to hang a ball, and I hit it out of
- 34:01Speaker 1: the ballpark, So you know, actually, you know he has
- 34:04Speaker 1: the tendency to walk guys, but he also has the
- 34:06Speaker 1: strikeout ability, and if you're walking guys, you need to
- 34:09Speaker 1: strike guys out.
- 34:10Speaker 6: He does both of those.
- 34:12Speaker 3: We don't want anybody to have to have shoulder surgery
- 34:14Speaker 3: or procedures. But whatever they did to that arm to
- 34:16Speaker 3: make him just absolute rubber, that's pretty impressive.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Rock.
- 34:20Speaker 2: I mean, he just doesn't every day.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he threw two innings on Saturday. And we
- 34:25Speaker 1: get to the ballpark yesterday yesterday at about ten thirty,
- 34:28Speaker 1: and he's throwing long tosks.
- 34:30Speaker 6: He's throwing He's in front of the.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Brewers' bullpen and throwing all the way to the right
- 34:33Speaker 1: field line, and then he comes out and throws another
- 34:37Speaker 1: inning today. So yeah, I mean the biotic man, he's
- 34:39Speaker 1: been amazing.
- 34:40Speaker 2: All that fantastic. Did you get your Sunday Kringle. Did
- 34:44Speaker 2: Vinnie Ratino come through with the Sunday talking?
- 34:46Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah it was.
- 34:47Speaker 1: It was pecan So yeah, we put on our request
- 34:51Speaker 1: as to what he should bring every every Sunday. I
- 34:53Speaker 1: don't know what happens when I'm not doing the games
- 34:55Speaker 1: on Sunday, but it's kind of required Vinnie to bring
- 34:58Speaker 1: it Kringle, and every.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Pecan was requested.
- 35:01Speaker 3: I thought that was that almost sounded that almost sounded
- 35:04Speaker 3: like he was doing some kind of punishment for it.
- 35:06Speaker 2: So the pecan on's the winner.
- 35:07Speaker 4: I love it.
- 35:08Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't want in on that flavor.
- 35:10Speaker 1: But maybe there's a sail on the time.
- 35:13Speaker 5: I'm not sure, but the pecan is one of those very, yeah,
- 35:17Speaker 5: we very polarizing flavor.
- 35:19Speaker 4: And we're seeing Connie. Some people love so what he does.
- 35:22Speaker 1: So then he does, he brings the Kranlin and he
- 35:24Speaker 1: slices it in the little little uh triangles so that
- 35:27Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about taking too big of
- 35:30Speaker 1: a piece I think that. I think that's basically for
- 35:32Speaker 1: the crew, so they don't demose.
- 35:34Speaker 4: All one portions are.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the thing. You're gonna end up eating
- 35:38Speaker 2: ten of those little slices anyway.
- 35:40Speaker 3: That's a game ball to Vinnie kids. Then I can
- 35:42Speaker 3: have one, and it's like the mini muffins. I'll just
- 35:44Speaker 3: have one or twelve, I'll just I'll just have one
- 35:47Speaker 3: or whatever he half. And that's what I'm talking about.
- 35:49Speaker 3: That's how you got to ration it up.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Shout out Benson's Yeah.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Well, when he brings Cringles in, I think we can
- 35:54Speaker 1: allow him to take all the free giveaways that are
- 35:56Speaker 1: in the booth home all the time. So that's the
- 35:59Speaker 1: trade off.
- 36:02Speaker 2: It's fantastic. I love it. Rock Thanks for joining us

- 38:20Speaker 3: this one, Drew for the wake and bak story of
- 38:22Speaker 3: the day. It's not necessarily one story. It's gonna be
- 38:24Speaker 3: all of the stories that come out here today and
- 38:27Speaker 3: have over the last like thirty six hours. Man, you
- 38:29Speaker 3: can wake and bake and enjoy all of these different
- 38:32Speaker 3: draft grade articles, and it's the only way I think
- 38:35Speaker 3: that you can actually enjoy what this is because it
- 38:39Speaker 3: is just we joke about it, and verbal masturbation has
- 38:43Speaker 3: been a tag that I've heard of what mock drafts
- 38:45Speaker 3: ultimately turned into being of just let's fire out as
- 38:48Speaker 3: many names, pump out as much content as possible. Draft
- 38:51Speaker 3: grades are even worse because what you just did is
- 38:54Speaker 3: either said, yeah, they took the guys that I said
- 38:57Speaker 3: were good, even though that's no proof that the guy
- 38:59Speaker 3: can actually play in the National Football League. But there's
- 39:03Speaker 3: a varying degree. The Journal Sentinel put together all of
- 39:05Speaker 3: the different draft grades for the Green Bay Packers.
- 39:08Speaker 2: As high as an A, as low as a D.
- 39:12Speaker 3: So Now, as much as I was okay with that
- 39:16Speaker 3: when I was in school, as long as there was
- 39:17Speaker 3: no f next to me, that was fine because d's
- 39:20Speaker 3: get degrees just as much as a's do. But for
- 39:25Speaker 3: a six person draft class, the draft grades, I'm stunned
- 39:28Speaker 3: that people thought the Las Vegas Raiders did well. They
- 39:30Speaker 3: had twelve picks, they drafted a ton of players, does
- 39:34Speaker 3: not mean any of these guys can play. The only
- 39:36Speaker 3: draft grade that matters is the one that happens three
- 39:40Speaker 3: years after the draft, not three hours or three days
- 39:43Speaker 3: after the meeting.
- 39:44Speaker 4: Thank you, Billy.
- 39:45Speaker 5: Yeah, so you can kind of interpret it whatever prism
- 39:47Speaker 5: you see yourself see things through, and that's the reality
- 39:49Speaker 5: of it. But until we get the results, which are
- 39:52Speaker 5: exactly like we said, Billy years down the road. Also,
- 39:55Speaker 5: we make so much over emphasized positions so much in
- 39:59Speaker 5: these draft position that we get what position people. The
- 40:02Speaker 5: positions don't matter. How good these players become is what matters.
- 40:05Speaker 5: If you get a great player at a position you
- 40:06Speaker 5: didn't want down the road, that's all that matters.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Everybody is gonna hammer the LA Rams and I haven't
- 40:12Speaker 3: seen any of these. You know, different articles drew that
- 40:15Speaker 3: are the outside of the bottom five for the La
- 40:17Speaker 3: Rams Guess what if ty Simpson ends up being a
- 40:20Speaker 3: pro bowler, not not a should you or Sanders Tyler
- 40:22Speaker 3: Huntley pro bowler? Like an all pro quarterback, a real dude.
- 40:26Speaker 3: People are saying that he evaluates the Kirk Cousins. Kirk
- 40:29Speaker 3: Husins was like the seventh to tenth best quarterback in
- 40:31Speaker 3: football for an extended period of time. If he's that,
- 40:35Speaker 3: guess what, They're a top five draft if you get
- 40:37Speaker 3: that at that position, absolutely doubt, no doubt.
- 40:40Speaker 2: There's also a lot of people, for some reason arguing
- 40:43Speaker 2: about how much Mendoza is going to play in Las
- 40:45Speaker 2: Vegas this year.
- 40:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I still, yeah, I still think Cousins plays to start,
- 40:50Speaker 3: and then I think they bring in Mendoza at some point.
- 40:53Speaker 4: But also we're four months away. I can't care that much.
- 40:57Speaker 3: I can't get yeah, I get it right, like I
- 41:00Speaker 3: care a lot more about our guy, Ben sending in
- 41:02Speaker 3: the video our picture that his daughter caught a foul
- 41:04Speaker 3: ball at the game.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Yesterday, final game ball the day literally for Ben's daughter.
- 41:08Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, that's a memory. You're always gonna have
- 41:10Speaker 2: great pictures. And she didn't botch it like me in
- 41:12Speaker 2: the three hundreds last year. Thanks right off of the
- 41:15Speaker 2: Palm Dude. Tomorrow on the program, we'll be doing some
- 41:18Speaker 2: buying and selling. Might even catch up with Reegs to
- 41:20Speaker 2: do one last night drafted. He's probably already working on
- 41:23Speaker 2: his MOC for twenty seven, and Hunter Stops Boy and
- 41:25Speaker 2: Hunter Bomgret will be with us as well. Thanks for
- 41:27Speaker 2: hanging out with us in the huddle. We'll see you
- 41:28Speaker 2: tomorrow five am. Peace,
