1:56
Speaker 2: Uh waiting for the health club to open. Drew, Billy
1:58
Speaker 2: and Arman. Question of the day, How the hell did
2:02
Speaker 2: the Brewers win that game yesterday? Ooh, isn't that crazy?
2:05
Speaker 4: A little bit of the Brewer magic or maybe that
2:07
Speaker 4: devil magic that certain teams elsewhere like to think of.
2:11
Speaker 1: Drew.
2:12
Speaker 4: Just a chip and a chance is what you need
2:14
Speaker 4: when you step up to the poker table. All the
2:15
Speaker 4: Brewers needed was three additional ounces today out of the
2:19
Speaker 4: game and what seven inches for that ball to go
2:22
Speaker 4: over the left fielder's head from Garrett Mitchell Man, that
2:25
Speaker 4: is an incredible one and had to be one heck
2:28
Speaker 4: of a finish there at the ballpark.
2:29
Speaker 2: What a day a game. That's just the ultimate snatch back.
2:34
Speaker 2: You have no business winning it. And a lot of levels.
2:38
Speaker 2: The kid Dustin made pitch him for the for the
2:40
Speaker 2: Cardinals yesterday his last start at American Family Field. He
2:45
Speaker 2: was with the Dodgers and I was attending that game
2:47
Speaker 2: as well, and he walked off the mountain. I think
2:51
Speaker 2: pretty sure he was one of those where I could
2:53
Speaker 2: hear him scream, you could know the ulnar collateral ligament
2:57
Speaker 2: snapped in his elbow and he walked off right in
3:00
Speaker 2: the waiting room for Tommy John surgery. That set him back.
3:02
Speaker 2: So then his first his return engagement at his House
3:05
Speaker 2: of Horrors, he pitches brilliantly, dominating the Brewers with a cutter,
3:10
Speaker 2: just making him look like a little leaguers. Takes a
3:13
Speaker 2: no hitter into the eighth and then lo and behold
3:17
Speaker 2: the walls cave in for him.
3:19
Speaker 3: Well, you know, always this scary thing when you've got
3:21
Speaker 3: a game going like that but you don't get the
3:22
Speaker 3: tack on runs, is that it could all be taking
3:24
Speaker 3: away so quickly, and way to go Garrett getting the
3:27
Speaker 3: get finally, you know, nudging the door open a little
3:29
Speaker 3: bit with that hit and getting things started, and Mason
3:33
Speaker 3: went helping out with the boot. The literal definition, I
3:36
Speaker 3: would say, of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat
3:39
Speaker 3: the Brewers. Did you know. The interesting thing, guys that
3:41
Speaker 3: I thought about yesterday is we've sort of had this
3:45
Speaker 3: you know, culture war sometimes in baseball about how long
3:47
Speaker 3: a picture can go, and we debate about it all
3:49
Speaker 3: the time. And May win seven innings obviously was you know, perfect,
3:53
Speaker 3: not well close to perfect, no hits to that point,
3:56
Speaker 3: and Cardinals elect to leave him in, which is understandable.
3:59
Speaker 3: He's great, he's got no hitter going. That's what traditionally
4:02
Speaker 3: you would do in baseball, but these days so often
4:06
Speaker 3: and we just saw it in Houston. You know, guys
4:07
Speaker 3: are taking out even with no hitters early on because
4:10
Speaker 3: if they have a certain pitch count or you know,
4:12
Speaker 3: the team sees, hey, you're going three times through.
4:15
Speaker 2: This is a risk for.
4:15
Speaker 3: Us, and May has not pitched past six innings at
4:19
Speaker 3: all this year so far, So you could you could
4:22
Speaker 3: have seen a situation where Ali Marmol says, you know what,
4:25
Speaker 3: we've gone long enough with you. We've got a bullpen.
4:27
Speaker 3: It's a one nothing lead. We're going to take you out.
4:29
Speaker 3: And I'm sure people would have complained about that, that said,
4:32
Speaker 3: we missed the old school way, this and that, But
4:37
Speaker 3: you don't notice that when he likes to leave him
4:39
Speaker 3: in and then he gives up the lead. So it's
4:41
Speaker 3: just interesting to think about different scenarios, how things could go,
4:45
Speaker 3: how things went there because it was sort of uncharted
4:47
Speaker 3: territory for me. Now, of course, it was his best
4:49
Speaker 3: start of the year, under understandably, so no one's gonna
4:53
Speaker 3: sit there and say, wow, that was crazy to leave
4:55
Speaker 3: him in. But hey, maybe if they take him out
4:57
Speaker 3: and let their bullpen finish it, they get the win.
4:59
Speaker 2: And then before it come that the ultimate second. Yes,
5:02
Speaker 2: it's delight interesting. You take him out, you give it up?
5:04
Speaker 2: What'd you take him out for? Eighty pitches? It's been dominating.
5:08
Speaker 2: You leave him in, he gives up a double. I mean,
5:11
Speaker 2: truth be told, it was a clean hit by Garrett
5:14
Speaker 2: Mitchell but a real left fielder makes that play. It
5:17
Speaker 2: was not the level of an error, but it's a
5:19
Speaker 2: play that should be caught. I mean, a guy who
5:20
Speaker 2: goes back right away, bad route right like you could
5:23
Speaker 2: rat it from the first step, bad route bad. It
5:25
Speaker 2: was again not something that you call it error, but
5:28
Speaker 2: a play that should have been made by a major
5:30
Speaker 2: league left fielder. Yep. And and the kid who did
5:32
Speaker 2: that was a former milkman. Oh okay, I didn't realize that.
5:35
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, maybe throw that one in there for for
5:39
Speaker 4: Wags tomorrow.
5:40
Speaker 2: There you go.
5:41
Speaker 4: But Drew, that's gotta be tough when you know the
5:44
Speaker 4: player would be saltier and more upset about it not
5:47
Speaker 4: being able to make it for himself than throwing an
5:50
Speaker 4: E next to his name on it. But then the
5:53
Speaker 4: one is Arman said Mason win that might have been?
5:56
Speaker 4: Was that one of the easiest scoring decisions of all time?
5:59
Speaker 4: The one that rolls right up, right up the left
6:01
Speaker 4: arm up in the shoulder.
6:04
Speaker 2: Yeah say, and so yeah, he gave up the poor
6:07
Speaker 2: devil May gives up two runs, one earned on you know,
6:11
Speaker 2: and two hits the Renepo bunt. They just decided not
6:14
Speaker 2: to field it. The third Baseman just decided I was
6:16
Speaker 2: just brand Thanks. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I'm brain farts.
6:19
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's like those were not two you know, walloping, damaging,
6:23
Speaker 2: oh my god, hits. It was just like a line
6:26
Speaker 2: drive that probably should have been caught, a bunt that
6:28
Speaker 2: should have been fielded and turned into an out, and
6:31
Speaker 2: then the ground ball up the middle. So the Birds
6:33
Speaker 2: has had the mojo to win that game with three
6:36
Speaker 2: hits the way they did, to take advantage of the
6:41
Speaker 2: just the situation, and to almost have it melt down too.
6:45
Speaker 2: You get the leadoff hit, you get the runner to
6:47
Speaker 2: third with nobody first, the third, nobody out, you gotta
6:50
Speaker 2: get a run in to get the odds are stacked
6:53
Speaker 2: that you're gonna get a run in.
6:54
Speaker 4: Now.
6:54
Speaker 2: You want to avoid a double play for sure, and
6:57
Speaker 2: they have. You know, south Freelick hits into a a
7:00
Speaker 2: force out that didn't change this situation, so he didn't
7:03
Speaker 2: do his job. Vaughan punches out, and then you leave
7:06
Speaker 2: it to yell It's a captain to save your bacon,
7:09
Speaker 2: because that would have been a heinous inning to not
7:12
Speaker 2: score in that first and third nobody outset up, and
7:15
Speaker 2: Yellich saves them with the base hit up the middle,
7:17
Speaker 2: and then Tario hits the roller that should have ended
7:19
Speaker 2: the inning, and and then you're tied, and it's a
7:22
Speaker 2: different dynamic, but instead the Brewers get the run across.
7:25
Speaker 2: It's like, how in the hell? I'm still like how
7:28
Speaker 2: no business winning that game. It was a rough loss
7:29
Speaker 2: for the Cardinals, but I think it also speaks to
7:32
Speaker 2: where these teams are in their development. Cardinals are the
7:36
Speaker 2: young team up and coming. You know, Mason win is
7:39
Speaker 2: gonna be a great player. He made some unbelievable plays
7:41
Speaker 2: during the day of the game, kidding he's a crazy athlete,
7:44
Speaker 2: and then he kicks one at the key moment.
7:46
Speaker 4: So well and Drew we saw it a lot with
7:49
Speaker 4: with young Brewers teams, as you've pointed them to a
7:53
Speaker 4: number of different times. But also there's finding ways to
7:56
Speaker 4: win and finding ways to lose. Brewers found a way
7:58
Speaker 4: to loss that lose. That what Padres game where O'Hearn
8:01
Speaker 4: hits the uh or Sheets hits the home run with
8:05
Speaker 4: down to their final strike, it's a three run shot,
8:07
Speaker 4: flips the scoreboard.
8:08
Speaker 2: Well, now the scoreboard's evened up.
8:10
Speaker 4: And at the end of the year, as long as
8:12
Speaker 4: you are damnure even in those games, because there are
8:16
Speaker 4: gonna be ones throughout one hundred and sixty two games
8:19
Speaker 4: in one hundred and eighty four days that you spit
8:22
Speaker 4: up or somebody else spits up, and you just got
8:24
Speaker 4: to be able to capitalize. It would have been brutal
8:27
Speaker 4: to not be able to score in that eighth inning.
8:29
Speaker 4: It would have been the the in game version of
8:31
Speaker 4: the Calves blowing Game one right, like I think I
8:34
Speaker 4: think the ninth inning, bottom of the ninth inning might
8:36
Speaker 4: have been one, two three, all either punches or slow
8:40
Speaker 4: ground balls, because that would have felt like the biggest
8:42
Speaker 4: deflator to be able to have where you have it
8:44
Speaker 4: right in front of you. I was excited to possibly
8:46
Speaker 4: see Avenue your Rebay pitch into extra innings, so there
8:49
Speaker 4: might have been a part of me that was hoping
8:52
Speaker 4: for that part of the story.
8:53
Speaker 2: I was kind of excited for that idea.
8:55
Speaker 4: But listen, it pays off even better to get a
8:58
Speaker 4: sweep of the Saint Louis Cardinals the first time they
9:00
Speaker 4: on that at home soon level.
9:01
Speaker 3: I didn't that that was the number that really shocked me,
9:03
Speaker 3: because the Brewers of d obviously is in really good years.
9:05
Speaker 2: Those at the Cardinals. But man, that is pretty impressed.
9:08
Speaker 3: Sweep a team like the cart it is, but especially
9:11
Speaker 3: that team many years it is really hard to do it.
9:14
Speaker 3: But hey, we wouldn't have seen Ashby get his league
9:16
Speaker 3: leading ninth wind.
9:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about him? Unbelievable? Well, and that speaks to
9:22
Speaker 2: the whole just the pitching in general. Like for Patrick
9:25
Speaker 2: to pitch the way he did, he was sharp, and
9:27
Speaker 2: granted he was you know, it was a bullpen game
9:29
Speaker 2: going into an off day. And for Chad Patrick to
9:33
Speaker 2: throw the way he did the four innings that he
9:35
Speaker 2: did with good command, one walk for strikeouts, gave a
9:39
Speaker 2: couple of hits but mostly singles. He limited all the damage,
9:42
Speaker 2: got a couple of plays. Yeah. So for Patrick, I
9:47
Speaker 2: mean to go four innings, he faced seventeen batters in
9:49
Speaker 2: four inning. That was a good start. Now, and then
9:51
Speaker 2: Drowan and Ashby come in and you have like identical tuining,
9:55
Speaker 2: you know, pretty much locked down stints. And then McGill
9:57
Speaker 2: walks in and saves the game. And McGill had to
9:59
Speaker 2: dance with fire a little bit in the fire fun
10:03
Speaker 2: gave up a hit and a stolen base and the
10:05
Speaker 2: guy gets the third and long fly out there too,
10:08
Speaker 2: so just a lot of good mojo going for the Brewers.
10:11
Speaker 2: They improved to thirty three and twenty. The only downside
10:15
Speaker 2: of the day was that the Cubs snapped their losing streak.
10:19
Speaker 2: But now today they face schemes on getaway Day, so yeah,
10:21
Speaker 2: hopefully that's so.
10:22
Speaker 4: They desperately needed to get that one. And now the
10:24
Speaker 4: Cardinals will go to they host the Cubs, or they
10:27
Speaker 4: go to the Cup. They host them this weekend for
10:30
Speaker 4: three games, and that's a huge series for them. But man,
10:33
Speaker 4: now you sit here with a four and a half
10:35
Speaker 4: game cushion in the division. You have your thirteen games
10:38
Speaker 4: over five hundred mark, and in a division that's gonna
10:41
Speaker 4: be as competitive as any in baseball. I would beg
10:45
Speaker 4: for any of them to try and get to the
10:47
Speaker 4: point where all of the teams are in the mix. Man,
10:50
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a sprint. So you give yourself at
10:52
Speaker 4: least this little bit of a cushion, and you take
10:55
Speaker 4: advantage at home, where you've actually been better on the road.
10:58
Speaker 4: I mean, fourteen and nine on the road is a
11:00
Speaker 4: pretty impressive number that the Brewers have had. But you
11:02
Speaker 4: take care of your home games, you win your series
11:04
Speaker 4: at home and you go five hundred on the road.
11:06
Speaker 4: You're gonna be a ninety win Paul club and you're
11:07
Speaker 4: gonna be having a chance to dance late on perfect.
11:10
Speaker 4: I like that, Billy Early on Brewer, Mike getting in there,
11:12
Speaker 4: Good morning gut boys, ashby Cy Young. Well, I'm not
11:15
Speaker 4: gonna quite say that, although I like to make it,
11:17
Speaker 4: but maybe he's my new Nick Mirrors.
11:19
Speaker 3: Billy, I was gonna say, could he be an All Star?
11:21
Speaker 3: I think he can be an All Star. I don't
11:22
Speaker 3: see why not. I mean, well, there's reasons why not.
11:25
Speaker 2: But neither's reasons. Middle guys never get there, right, buddy.
11:28
Speaker 2: But he's a unique guy.
11:29
Speaker 3: Starters and closers a lot of innings. So I'm gonna
11:31
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make you my new Nick Mears. I'm gonna
11:33
Speaker 3: say he's gonna be an All star here. Yeah, well
11:35
Speaker 3: we'll see today. That's my wild predictions.
11:37
Speaker 2: Pretty crazy, all right? You can get us eight seven
11:40
Speaker 2: seven seven nine four one seven three or comment on
11:42
Speaker 2: the YouTube's on the YouTube stream as well. We welcome
11:46
Speaker 2: all input. Today we'll hear from Hunter Bombguard his recap
11:50
Speaker 2: of the proceedings yesterday, and Hunter will join us live
11:54
Speaker 2: today at beautiful cause it is Thursday. So we talked
11:56
Speaker 2: ball with Hunter. He's got Milwaukee Baseball tonight on the
11:59
Speaker 2: off day recap and everything that's happened with the brewis
12:01
Speaker 2: this week. Got some cool interviews racked up for you.
12:04
Speaker 4: And selfishly, I kind of like the Thursday no game now,
12:07
Speaker 4: so it can just be Milwaukee Baseball tonight night.
12:10
Speaker 2: Right, Like just so Hunter his own stretch his legs
12:12
Speaker 2: a little bit.
12:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, you saddle up and know that that's your baseball conversation,
12:16
Speaker 4: and then you get into the one game in basketball
12:19
Speaker 4: you get because now it's only one playoff game a day.
12:21
Speaker 4: Where these networks were planning, got a lot of content
12:24
Speaker 4: to instead have commissioners on talking to McAfee in the
12:26
Speaker 4: middle of the night last night. That's that shows how
12:29
Speaker 4: much the even though the networks were salivating at the
12:32
Speaker 4: thought of the New York Knicks going to the NBA Finals,
12:35
Speaker 4: they would have really liked it to happen in six
12:37
Speaker 4: or seven games. So it'll be a fun one here tonight.
12:39
Speaker 4: After we talked to Hunter and throughout the entire day,
12:42
Speaker 4: Drew Brewers are top of mind for a lot of people.
12:45
Speaker 4: I mean, I've read a Ken Rosenthal column that he
12:49
Speaker 4: put in front of the paywall yesterday just so more
12:52
Speaker 4: people could read the words that he put out there,
12:56
Speaker 4: that maybe the Milwaukee Brewis will be in the mix
12:58
Speaker 4: for Trek School, and then your boy Buster Only and
13:01
Speaker 4: Hembo on their podcast Baseball Tonight say it again that
13:05
Speaker 4: the Brewers should be in for TERRK Schooble. Now, I
13:07
Speaker 4: don't know what Brewers organization a lot of these folks
13:09
Speaker 4: have been watching, However, it would be a fascinating one.
13:12
Speaker 4: And I like the fact that they have surged back
13:15
Speaker 4: into the public mind where now again you can start saying, yeah,
13:19
Speaker 4: they're okay, but they need to get better. Okay, they're okay,
13:22
Speaker 4: but they need to get better, not at the positions
13:25
Speaker 4: where you clearly would indicate or look and everybody that
13:28
Speaker 4: watches them every single night would say, Yet, left side
13:31
Speaker 4: of the infield, i'be a couple of holes there that
13:33
Speaker 4: could probably be a spot that you fill up. Nope,
13:35
Speaker 4: starting rotation with two of the best guys in baseball,
13:37
Speaker 4: let's go add one of the most expensive ones.
13:40
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta improve from anywhere you can. And
13:42
Speaker 3: maybe that's a spot. But your right, Billy, hey, listen, guys,
13:45
Speaker 3: it's about to be let's go get one big bat season.
13:47
Speaker 3: That's what you're gonna hear for like a couple months
13:49
Speaker 3: as everybody said the same thing. It's just go get
13:51
Speaker 3: one big bat. We need a bat, we need a
13:53
Speaker 3: power beat. Everyone loves that little cats all. But hey,
13:56
Speaker 3: in front of the paywall, you're right, Billy, that's kind
13:58
Speaker 3: of nice. That's like above the fold used to be
13:59
Speaker 3: right Drew. Yeah, wanted him at the top and center.
14:02
Speaker 3: You wanted everyone to read your your best stuff right
14:04
Speaker 3: there at least see it and gets analyzed by it.
14:06
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I kind of like that taking and
14:08
Speaker 3: they are taking notice.
14:09
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, that's the athletic Jim Bowden, who used to be
14:13
Speaker 2: a GM and is now an analyst on TV and
14:16
Speaker 2: for the Athletic he probably makes more he does the Derby.
14:19
Speaker 2: He goes through all the suitors potential suitors for schoobl
14:22
Speaker 2: and when he gets to the n L Central Milwaukee Brewers,
14:24
Speaker 2: he said, the Brewers have the farm system to get Schooble,
14:27
Speaker 2: but that's not how they do business, and they won't
14:29
Speaker 2: be players here. They play for the long term and
14:31
Speaker 2: are going to hold on to all their.
14:32
Speaker 4: Very top prospects, which I think is of under yes,
14:37
Speaker 4: that that is most likely what they will do.
14:39
Speaker 2: Is it the right thing to do? That's the question?
14:42
Speaker 4: I mean, like I because you can look at a
14:44
Speaker 4: lot of organizations. I think the Orioles would be one
14:46
Speaker 4: over the last couple of years where you have this
14:49
Speaker 4: great collection of young talent. You got all these great prospects.
14:51
Speaker 4: You got all these great prospects. At some point, not
14:54
Speaker 4: all of them are gonna hit, and at some point
14:57
Speaker 4: you sell either high or you sit with the low
15:00
Speaker 4: stock that at some point you have to move off of. Yeah,
15:03
Speaker 4: maybe that's a Joey Weimer at one point right where
15:05
Speaker 4: all of a sudden he's dwindling in the minor leagues
15:08
Speaker 4: and hasn't gotten the success that you thought of. Like
15:10
Speaker 4: the belief that all of these young players, especially all
15:13
Speaker 4: of the infielders, well they're all just going to be
15:16
Speaker 4: potentially all stars. They all could turn into Bryce Terrang. Yeah,
15:19
Speaker 4: the likelihood is that more of them are Matt Gamble
15:21
Speaker 4: than Bryce Terrang, and at some point you have to
15:24
Speaker 4: be able to catch some of those chips in.
15:26
Speaker 2: I also don't think that.
15:27
Speaker 4: It would be for scoobl but for a year right now,
15:29
Speaker 4: where you have two of the best young pitchers in baseball,
15:32
Speaker 4: you know that you're going to be potentially having to
15:34
Speaker 4: cash in that terrank contract at some particular point in time.
15:37
Speaker 2: We always ask when would the right year be.
15:40
Speaker 4: I wonder when it will be and if that mathematics
15:43
Speaker 4: equation is being solved there, because at some point you
15:45
Speaker 4: got to be able to strike while.
15:47
Speaker 2: The iron is hot with some of these cats. Now,
15:48
Speaker 2: Scooble just did have a scope procedure correct, Yes, like
15:53
Speaker 2: what three weeks ago, three weeks.
15:56
Speaker 4: Ago hurt going into a contract year. Scott Boris is
15:59
Speaker 4: the agent. All three strikes in the no category for
16:02
Speaker 4: me on why that would not be the move.
16:04
Speaker 2: Had loose bodies bone chips removed from his pitching elbow
16:07
Speaker 2: on May sixth. Now, he just threw a live bullpen
16:13
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago and thirty nine pitches live
16:15
Speaker 2: VP at Comerica, and the initial timetable said he'd be
16:19
Speaker 2: out for two to three months, But he's been rapidly
16:22
Speaker 2: recovering sure science and working through a progression to show
16:26
Speaker 2: that he can come back. But to get an injured
16:30
Speaker 2: coming off surgery injured rental and give up a lot
16:33
Speaker 2: of the future. Is some calculus there that makes sense. Yes,
16:38
Speaker 2: But then again like CC Sabbathia was completely healthy when
16:42
Speaker 2: the Brewish trade for him. Now pitching poorly, but yes,
16:44
Speaker 2: completely healthy for the Tigers, like the ship has sailed.
16:47
Speaker 2: They know they can't keep him, and it's a bummer,
16:49
Speaker 2: but he's moving on. The worst thing the Tigers can
16:52
Speaker 2: do is hang on to him, right because like the
16:54
Speaker 2: Brewers had success with that, We'll hold on to our
16:57
Speaker 2: guys as long as we can. And they let a
16:58
Speaker 2: damis walk and you know, try to win. They did
17:01
Speaker 2: it with Prince roll it out. But then the most
17:04
Speaker 2: recent example is the Angels let Otani walk and got
17:09
Speaker 2: bupkiss for it. When and it sets your back, like
17:12
Speaker 2: now you look back, Oh, that's like a that's a
17:15
Speaker 2: four year step back. Yeah. Yeah, you could have replenished
17:18
Speaker 2: the pipeline and you could have gotten some assets, and
17:20
Speaker 2: it sets you back for not doing so. The Tigers
17:22
Speaker 2: have to make the deal, but you know when and
17:26
Speaker 2: does Schooble have to come back and throw a couple
17:28
Speaker 2: outings so people can see the seed sets it back.
17:31
Speaker 2: Now it makes sense, like the Brewers traded for for
17:35
Speaker 2: Sabathia early and that was the difference. And Doug Melvin
17:39
Speaker 2: knew it, like we need him right away, and that's
17:42
Speaker 2: that was the Matt Laporta thing. You want Matt Laporta,
17:44
Speaker 2: do the deal now taking him off.
17:46
Speaker 3: And to your point, that's when you sold on Laporta
17:48
Speaker 3: because the iron was hot on his prospect.
17:51
Speaker 2: He was going to be the next he was going
17:52
Speaker 2: to be Prince Fielder's replacement. Yeah yeah, and he was
17:54
Speaker 2: already didn't work out that way for him, but that
17:57
Speaker 2: was the chip that got that deal done. So there's
18:00
Speaker 2: both sides of it. Whoever gets school, he's obviously terrific,
18:03
Speaker 2: but you're only renting him unless you're the Dodgers or
18:05
Speaker 2: the Mets or somebody like that.
18:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, or the ups Cubs, right or the Cubs.
18:09
Speaker 4: I mean, like, I don't know they they have spent money.
18:12
Speaker 4: I don't know that they've they've indicated that they're going
18:14
Speaker 4: to spend at that level, right, Like, they have spent
18:17
Speaker 4: money that not necessarily at that level They totally should drew,
18:20
Speaker 4: but they just they have not wanted to and have
18:23
Speaker 4: not shown the desire to do it outside of the
18:26
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty million they gave it a Leicster
18:27
Speaker 4: before they won the title in sixteen.
18:29
Speaker 2: So like there's there's a lot of suitors.
18:32
Speaker 4: The Cubs would also be a team that I think
18:34
Speaker 4: would be valivating at the opportunity for school to become available.
18:38
Speaker 4: And the Tigers did it similar to how the Brewers did,
18:42
Speaker 4: so we're going to go one more time. They even
18:43
Speaker 4: signed Valdez in the offseason to say like, hey, now
18:46
Speaker 4: we have a real one to two punch. We think
18:48
Speaker 4: we could be the exact same team we were a
18:50
Speaker 4: year ago. Compete in the American League and then these
18:53
Speaker 4: guys are going to be the ones that get us
18:54
Speaker 4: over the hump. And I think what they're one of
18:56
Speaker 4: the bottom teams in the American League, if not the
18:58
Speaker 4: worst team in their own divisions. It just has not
19:02
Speaker 4: worked out, And like you said, he's been dinged. I
19:05
Speaker 4: don't want it to be this one. I wanted it
19:07
Speaker 4: to be a Uhano Suarez last year and it would
19:09
Speaker 4: not have costed nearly the amount that a back to
19:12
Speaker 4: back cy.
19:13
Speaker 2: Young Award winner would like.
19:15
Speaker 4: So again it he is the first guy that gets
19:19
Speaker 4: brought up, because he's the first chip that ultimately gets
19:21
Speaker 4: put onto the bargaining table.
19:23
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see how.
19:24
Speaker 4: Many more do and how many more names the Bruers
19:27
Speaker 4: will get linked to, because at some point, I do
19:28
Speaker 4: think you have to try to cash in.
19:30
Speaker 3: You have to get somebody, I think, get to try
19:31
Speaker 3: and add a little bit. Whether or not it's a
19:34
Speaker 3: big piece remains to be seen. Is there any chance
19:36
Speaker 3: because of the injury situation and the rental aspect that
19:40
Speaker 3: the price would come down a bit?
19:42
Speaker 2: Is there any chance of that?
19:43
Speaker 3: Or is that just like wishing and hoping and dreaming
19:45
Speaker 3: like that it wouldn't be as high of a price
19:47
Speaker 3: because okay, everybody knows he's been hurt, or there's more
19:50
Speaker 3: question mark you could negotiate that like that.
19:52
Speaker 4: You're wondering if they're gonna put a rollback sign next
19:54
Speaker 4: to Trek School asking maybe we could get a little
19:57
Speaker 4: bit of a discount.
19:57
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
19:58
Speaker 4: Excuse me, sir, this one's dinged up? Can I get
20:00
Speaker 4: ten percent off? I understand the Beats box. This box
20:04
Speaker 4: is dented. Can I get Can I get some movie
20:06
Speaker 4: little bit off?
20:06
Speaker 2: Yeah?
20:06
Speaker 3: But your point is is true really like not everyone
20:09
Speaker 3: will hit in terms of prospects, and not everyone can
20:12
Speaker 3: play in the field either. I mean, you only can
20:14
Speaker 3: get nine guys in there, you know, you can. It's
20:15
Speaker 3: great to have too many good players. But at some
20:18
Speaker 3: point you asked the question, and the Brewers have done
20:20
Speaker 3: it a bit. I mean, the Yell trade involved Lewis
20:23
Speaker 3: Brents and other great prospects. But that was in the offseason, right,
20:26
Speaker 3: that wasn't a rental. And you know, so there were
20:29
Speaker 3: times that the Brewers did make moves like that. It's
20:31
Speaker 3: just they're they're a little more rare, right.
20:33
Speaker 2: Well, Arizona traded for Granky and they traded for Burns.
20:39
Speaker 2: That's true in the mix, but I mean, look at
20:42
Speaker 2: the Dodgers raised Cubs. I think the Cubs in the
20:45
Speaker 2: middle Padres are a player for this. They'll they'll go
20:49
Speaker 2: always fighting the Dodgers and then the Arizona and Toronto.
20:54
Speaker 2: They're all in the mix. I would say Cubs really
20:57
Speaker 2: have urgency. Though.
20:59
Speaker 4: He's the guy that everybody has to make a call
21:01
Speaker 4: on right now, school's talent. He's the player that everybody
21:04
Speaker 4: has to make a call on. But then again, everybody
21:07
Speaker 4: the names that have thrown the Brewers in have also
21:09
Speaker 4: thrown the raisin. You bring up the Otani one from
21:12
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. All indications and the reports
21:15
Speaker 4: are that junior Camon Darrow was on the block as
21:19
Speaker 4: well as Carson Williams. They're starting center fielder now, who
21:22
Speaker 4: are both really good players. One is an all star
21:24
Speaker 4: kind of player. That was the package they were going
21:26
Speaker 4: to send for two months of Otani. I'm interesting to
21:29
Speaker 4: see if they would be the one that goes and buys,
21:31
Speaker 4: because the part of why the Brewers would be in
21:33
Speaker 4: this conversation, part of the reason why the Razor are
21:35
Speaker 4: in the conversation, this is the only way you can
21:37
Speaker 4: acquire a player like this. The only way a Brewers
21:41
Speaker 4: team could acquire a player of this caliber is to
21:44
Speaker 4: ship off a lot for him and try to hope
21:46
Speaker 4: that you catch lightning in a bottle.
21:48
Speaker 2: We are off and running your thoughts on targ school.
21:52
Speaker 2: Is it even worth fantasizing about if you're a Brewers fan?
21:54
Speaker 2: Marcus and Iowa already is. He strikes me as a
21:56
Speaker 2: true competitor. Whoever gets him, they're going to get their
21:58
Speaker 2: money's work. Let's go, all right, we're rolling in here.
22:02
Speaker 4: Early on at eight seven seven seven, nine, Packers are
22:06
Speaker 4: caffording up at Lambeau.
22:08
Speaker 2: The media got to watch practice we can talk about that.
22:10
Speaker 2: No player availability after the Josh Jacobs situation. Very little
22:13
Speaker 2: comment for Matt Lafleur about the Josh Jacobs situation. We'll
22:16
Speaker 2: talk about that. We'll talk a little bit about Giannis
22:18
Speaker 2: and the NBA playoffs which are firing up again. It
22:21
Speaker 2: is a Thursday in the good Land. It's a victory Thursday.
22:24
Speaker 2: Where's the chicken. Brewers swept the Cardinals. We should be
22:27
Speaker 2: eating some chicken. We should be eating chick. Let's address this. Yes,
22:32
Speaker 2: we will address this as we move forward. You are
22:35
Speaker 2: in the huddle Fox.
22:37
Speaker 4: Even the peace Christian Yellinch coming up with a big
22:41
Speaker 4: two out hit, rubbing up.
22:44
Speaker 1: The middle wind. That hasn't.
22:47
Speaker 2: These things have? The Brewers have the lead Brewers TV
22:54
Speaker 2: bringing us back. Brewers beat the Cardinals yesterday. It's a
22:57
Speaker 2: victory Thursday here in the good Land. Drew Billion arm

23:18
Speaker 2: We got plenty to talk about. Brewers hot, Cubs win,
23:22
Speaker 2: They face schemes today on Getaway to Brewers off start
23:24
Speaker 2: a weekend series in Houston with Coleman Crow back on
23:28
Speaker 2: the mound. Friday's talking him five shutout innings.
23:31
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what the Brewers do, So send out the
23:34
Speaker 4: crow call, get him up here from Nashville. We had
23:36
Speaker 4: some early indications that he was going to be joining
23:39
Speaker 4: the club, and I like the fact that they again
23:41
Speaker 4: just have guys that are stockpiled waiting in the wings
23:44
Speaker 4: to be able to do it, unlike Chad Patrick, who
23:47
Speaker 4: they've yanked around a little bit. He's getting a little
23:49
Speaker 4: bit of the Taylor Youngman treatment. But hey, sometimes that happens,
23:51
Speaker 4: Tyler Thornburg. Sometimes you got to go up and down
23:53
Speaker 4: and move around a bunch of different roles and performed
23:57
Speaker 4: admirably yesterday. Nobody was more upset about the one run
24:00
Speaker 4: giving up than Chad Patrick appeared. As he walked off
24:03
Speaker 4: the mound. Everyone's saying, all right, man, four innings. We
24:05
Speaker 4: appreciate that. Yeah, it should have been scoreless. I shouldn't
24:08
Speaker 4: have choked it. Off right there at the end pause
24:10
Speaker 4: because he was so close to being able to finish
24:13
Speaker 4: that thing off for four shutout innings and keep the
24:15
Speaker 4: Brewers right there at Bay. But once again, you give
24:17
Speaker 4: up what two runs in three games? Two runs in
24:21
Speaker 4: three games, that's gonna be that's gonna be a hard
24:24
Speaker 4: team to beat. That's gonna be a hard team to
24:27
Speaker 4: beat for the Milwaukee Brewers, and very very excited to
24:30
Speaker 4: see them enjoying a nice off day and then go
24:32
Speaker 4: down there into the Minute Made Park and see what
24:34
Speaker 4: you can do with the old world's used to be
24:37
Speaker 4: largest juice box.
24:38
Speaker 3: That's right, that is that is yeah, no longer, no
24:41
Speaker 3: longer Minute made. But yeah, well Chad, you know, Chad
24:44
Speaker 3: knows he can't come of any runs because there's always
24:46
Speaker 3: gonna be something they're gonna hang. He probably is always
24:48
Speaker 3: thinking like what do I have to do to prove
24:49
Speaker 3: myself as a starter, right? But whatever, He's like, I'll
24:51
Speaker 3: just get out to wherever you ask me to and
24:53
Speaker 3: you can let everybody else go to the dance and
24:55
Speaker 3: be part of the rotation.
24:57
Speaker 2: I do miss going to Houston with the Brewers because
25:00
Speaker 2: the barks no the press box every night had fried
25:03
Speaker 2: chickens was really good every time. Man, that is that
25:08
Speaker 2: chickens like a goat. Is like, oh, I'm gonna have
25:10
Speaker 2: to get a to get myself a wing or a
25:12
Speaker 2: breast or something.
25:13
Speaker 4: Fried chicken or broasted chicken that's on the menu. It's
25:15
Speaker 4: gonna be hard for me to ever pass out.
25:17
Speaker 3: That's like what everybody else. That's what like reveling those
25:19
Speaker 3: guys say about the cheese cards at Lanmdbell right, like, oh,
25:22
Speaker 3: that's always there.
25:23
Speaker 2: That's always there. Right, So Robert from Baraboo has appointed
25:28
Speaker 2: himself the official wet blanket of today's huddle. All right,
25:31
Speaker 2: but come on, rob barboo bob here. All right, morning, gentlemen.
25:33
Speaker 2: Love the positive talk. Unfortunately, even if we get Schooble,
25:36
Speaker 2: we're not beating the Dodgers period. I love it. Not
25:42
Speaker 2: with that attitude. I love it. I mean, come on,
25:45
Speaker 2: I'm glad.
25:45
Speaker 3: I'm glad that he were still hot in Baraboo over
25:47
Speaker 3: the years. That was one of our us, Yes, you know,
25:50
Speaker 3: in the clown market. And I said that with all love.
25:52
Speaker 3: You know, that was where the circus parade used to be. Well,
25:55
Speaker 3: I get it, because you know, the Dodgers are the Dodgers, but.
25:59
Speaker 2: Any anything get helped all sports. I just don't know.
26:01
Speaker 2: And I think again, people's outlook on the Brewers and
26:07
Speaker 2: they're just the whole perception is warped by what happened
26:10
Speaker 2: in those four games in October.
26:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, because those four games in October were varsity against
26:14
Speaker 4: JV right, I mean, like, I mean, you can have
26:17
Speaker 4: a series like that at any point during the season,
26:20
Speaker 4: like you can have like if you're the Cardinals right now, well,
26:23
Speaker 4: how are we going to beat the Brewers?
26:24
Speaker 2: We can't even beat them. We all will throw a
26:25
Speaker 2: no hitter. Yeah, I get it, and I but it
26:29
Speaker 2: that didn't wipe out ninety seven wins, and that doesn't
26:31
Speaker 2: wipe out that. Now the conversation is like, are the Brewers,
26:35
Speaker 2: Like they might not have a better record, but are
26:38
Speaker 2: they a better team than the one that won ninety
26:39
Speaker 2: seven last year? Like I said, I said this from
26:43
Speaker 2: the outset, like I don't know if they'll win ninety seven,
26:45
Speaker 2: but I know that to get close, they're not going
26:47
Speaker 2: to need a thirty and four run or a thirty
26:49
Speaker 2: one and four run because they're they're not burying themselves.
26:53
Speaker 2: They're not going to be a couple of games under
26:55
Speaker 2: Memorial Day like they were last year. At this time
26:57
Speaker 2: last year, they were just climbing their way out of
27:00
Speaker 2: what three or four games under five hundred.
27:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean we also brought it up in
27:04
Speaker 4: the beginning, way before the season even started, and then
27:06
Speaker 4: it got laughed at because you didn't necessarily think into context. Well,
27:10
Speaker 4: think of all the individual players that got so much
27:13
Speaker 4: better last year. In the back end of the season,
27:15
Speaker 4: you get a full year of a Bryce Terrang who
27:17
Speaker 4: right now is the best second basement in all of baseball.
27:20
Speaker 4: You get a full season hopefully now haven't because of
27:23
Speaker 4: Jackson Cherio's injuries, but a full season of him and
27:25
Speaker 4: Vaughn in the lineup together. And I don't know that
27:29
Speaker 4: everybody anticipated Jake Bauers would be able to transition from
27:32
Speaker 4: spring training to the regular season the same way that
27:34
Speaker 4: he was hitting before. But that pairing at first base
27:37
Speaker 4: is better than it was a year ago. And the
27:40
Speaker 4: two guys at the front of the table, at the
27:42
Speaker 4: head of the table maybe your two most important pieces.
27:45
Speaker 4: You didn't have this kind of Jacob Mazerowski and you
27:46
Speaker 4: definitely didn't have Kyle Harrison last year. So hard to
27:49
Speaker 4: say that you are for sure going to be better.
27:51
Speaker 3: I guess for me, the thing that pervades like when
27:53
Speaker 3: we had this question, it's not the actual question that
27:56
Speaker 3: I think about of can we beat the Dodgers. Obviously
27:59
Speaker 3: that's always going to be, you know, something you get
28:02
Speaker 3: to when you get to it. But it's like, how
28:04
Speaker 3: blessed are we as Brewers fans to have that to
28:06
Speaker 3: worry about in May and June, Like, oh, well, when
28:08
Speaker 3: we get to the NLCS, when we get to the playoffs,
28:12
Speaker 3: I mean making it. Once upon a time, it was
28:14
Speaker 3: still just a dream to ever get to that point.
28:16
Speaker 3: But the fact that we expect it now it's just
28:18
Speaker 3: a blessing, is what I'm saying. Now, that being said,
28:21
Speaker 3: it's okay to have aspirations for more. I'm not saying
28:24
Speaker 3: that's wrong. I'm just saying that's an incredible thing to
28:27
Speaker 3: me that we just see can say, hey, we're going
28:29
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs.
28:29
Speaker 2: All right. So the flip side of Robert barry Woods
28:31
Speaker 2: difference is not going to beat him anyway. Derek from
28:33
Speaker 2: Whitewater has the the low expectations. He said, just keep
28:38
Speaker 2: my attention till football season. It's all they need to
28:40
Speaker 2: do well at least you're honest about. I mean, I'm
28:47
Speaker 2: old enough to remember when the Brewers were eliminated from
28:50
Speaker 2: playoff contention before the first cream puff was delivered in
28:53
Speaker 2: early August, Wisconsin State failing. Absolutely, And this is much
28:56
Speaker 2: preferable when you're thinking about baseball and when you have
28:59
Speaker 2: those delicious weekends where you got Badgers, Packers and Brewers
29:01
Speaker 2: playing meaningful games into September and October, that's that's a
29:05
Speaker 2: sweet meeting.
29:06
Speaker 4: I enjoy getting to watch the Brewers games in the
29:08
Speaker 4: press box of the lambeau Field because everybody wants to
29:12
Speaker 4: have it on their screen to make sure that they're
29:14
Speaker 4: able to keep track. I remember a lot of state
29:17
Speaker 4: fairs were sitting there at the bud Light Pavilion on
29:20
Speaker 4: the couple of TVs that are still scattered or scattered
29:22
Speaker 4: around there. They'd been playing a Packers preseason football game
29:26
Speaker 4: before they be playing a Brewers August game, because a
29:28
Speaker 4: lot of people thought it meant a lot more to
29:31
Speaker 4: where you are. So that to Armand's point, yes it's
29:34
Speaker 4: a blessing, Yes it is. But again, what the biggest
29:36
Speaker 4: blessing would be is going to the World Series for
29:38
Speaker 4: the first times in nineteen eighty two. Right, like, as
29:40
Speaker 4: and as close as and as much success as this is,
29:44
Speaker 4: and how sweet it has been, you do wonder what
29:47
Speaker 4: you need to do and how you can get over
29:49
Speaker 4: to Hump, because that Dodger Hump is won. I don't
29:53
Speaker 4: believe it's as massive on a mountain as the four
29:55
Speaker 4: games again would have indicated a year ago, but that's
29:58
Speaker 4: the last taste in your mind. Well, and walking him
30:01
Speaker 4: twenty three times in three games without your best two
30:04
Speaker 4: guys on the mound, so like, it's uh, I totally
30:07
Speaker 4: get the trepidation. But if you go into a seven
30:10
Speaker 4: game series with Kyle Harrison, Jacob Mezarowski's two starters right
30:15
Speaker 4: now hopefully Brandon Woodruff, but that that's a massive if.
30:20
Speaker 4: I think that's just about as much of an if
30:22
Speaker 4: as if you would add another starter that would be
30:24
Speaker 4: paired up there. I mean, the conversation started with Scooble.
30:27
Speaker 4: You go into any battle in any playoff series with Scoble,
30:31
Speaker 4: Harrison and Missrowski, you're nobody's underdog. Yes, yeah, you are
30:36
Speaker 4: nobody's underdog to try to win four of those next seven.
30:38
Speaker 3: And granted that doesn't also guarantee anything in a short
30:41
Speaker 3: series We've seen that with the you know, the Burns, Woodruf,
30:44
Speaker 3: Freddy Probab.
30:44
Speaker 2: But you're right, Billy, I mean that would be incredible.
30:46
Speaker 2: Can you feel the same way if it's Miseroski, Harrison
30:50
Speaker 2: and Woodroff uh To Harrison or Flairty we haven't mentioned
30:54
Speaker 2: Priest kind of got rock.
30:58
Speaker 3: I appreciate you throwing well. Still, he didn't.
31:00
Speaker 2: Pitch well again last Nightey threw thirty eight pitches. I
31:03
Speaker 2: don't think he got out of an inning. No two
31:04
Speaker 2: outs come on though, those two outs at least like
31:08
Speaker 2: ninety three. It's not trending in a good way for Quinn.
31:11
Speaker 3: Well, obviously not. I understand that. I just kind of
31:13
Speaker 3: I still hold the hope of you.
31:15
Speaker 4: Part of this is Quin going to be this year's
31:17
Speaker 4: Tobias Myers, where even once the playoff rosters come out,
31:20
Speaker 4: you were wondering why he wasn't on it.
31:21
Speaker 3: Literally the first name I thought of is like Tobias Myers,
31:24
Speaker 3: Quinn Priester because you guy that had that year.
31:27
Speaker 2: But I don't want to.
31:28
Speaker 4: I wants legacy game in the playoffs too.
31:32
Speaker 2: It's coming though. I like hope upon the hope. So
31:35
Speaker 2: one of the things we we kind of like buried
31:37
Speaker 2: the lead on what happened yesterday and again Verse sweeping
31:40
Speaker 2: the Cardinals for the first time since eleven. Y yes,
31:42
Speaker 2: first time in the Cardinals at American Family Field, first
31:44
Speaker 2: time since eleven coming out of like taking no hits
31:48
Speaker 2: through seven, no offense, no chance, no nothing. All they
31:51
Speaker 2: had was a patented South freelick catchers interference right and
31:57
Speaker 2: then a walk. That was it. That was South.
32:00
Speaker 4: We have more hit by pitch and a catcher's interference.
32:02
Speaker 4: Does he have more catchers interferences than extra base.
32:04
Speaker 2: Hits this year?
32:05
Speaker 3: Uh?
32:06
Speaker 2: He looked at that's five or six leading.
32:09
Speaker 4: Gotta be leading the league by a wide margin. I
32:12
Speaker 4: I had not seen a catcher's interference until Salfreela comes
32:16
Speaker 4: into Major league. He's it's Yesterday was like the fifth
32:19
Speaker 4: or sixth. So at this point it's either a talent
32:22
Speaker 4: or you're trying to do it. You wonder what used
32:26
Speaker 4: to get a.
32:26
Speaker 3: Bunch because of the stands.
32:27
Speaker 2: I'm just saying. But here's the thing though, the whole
32:29
Speaker 2: stuff with your rebay and the chop and the accusations
32:32
Speaker 2: that all came to a froth. Nothing happened yesterday. I
32:34
Speaker 2: didn't expect that it would, but we did get the backstory.
32:37
Speaker 2: We have not talked about this grease ball stuff that
32:39
Speaker 2: happens the game within the game within the game, and
32:43
Speaker 2: we will talk about that when we come back. We're
32:45
Speaker 2: also going to listen to Hunter Bomb Guard's recap of
32:48
Speaker 2: yesterday's proceedings. Hunter joins us live at seven twenty five
32:52
Speaker 2: ish around today, And by the way, I think we
32:56
Speaker 2: can officially say that we are in the rhythm of
32:58
Speaker 2: doing this show and being up in the morning with
33:00
Speaker 2: the early risers, Insomnix and Sociopaths. Yeah, because it unintentionally,
33:04
Speaker 2: I realized I raw dog this morning forgot to set
33:07
Speaker 2: the alarm. What anyway, that's a risky woke up with that.
33:12
Speaker 2: I didn't big, I know. It's like I woke up,
33:15
Speaker 2: looked at the alarm, like, uh, I got about eight
33:18
Speaker 2: minutes before that goes off, shut my eyes. Woke up
33:21
Speaker 2: about twenty minutes later, going oh, the alarm didn't go off,
33:24
Speaker 2: but I'm up anyway, let's go that works? How about that? Yeah,
33:27
Speaker 2: it's uh, it's definitely.
33:28
Speaker 3: Your body does get used to it a bit after
33:30
Speaker 3: a while, you ever get used to being this time,
33:33
Speaker 3: but your body does get.
33:34
Speaker 2: Used to get up earlier. But it was I did
33:36
Speaker 2: wake up without the benefit of an alarm clock today. Boys.
33:39
Speaker 4: That was because you said it like I've done, where
33:41
Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're like, wait, four fifteen pm,
33:44
Speaker 4: what okay.
33:47
Speaker 2: To do that? One? I do have it said. I
33:49
Speaker 2: found the setting where it can just be weak days
33:51
Speaker 2: only and it does wake me up. But sometimes and
33:54
Speaker 2: then you wake up before the alarm and you have
33:56
Speaker 2: to turn it off so it doesn't go off and
33:57
Speaker 2: interrupt you. Then you forget to turn it back on.
33:59
Speaker 2: That's the situation. That's when you'll get real salty A
34:02
Speaker 2: dog the morning, baby, that's a that's our new T shirt.
34:05
Speaker 2: Let's raw dog, this raw dog this morning. Let's go
34:08
Speaker 2: all right. When we come back, we're gonna talk about
34:09
Speaker 2: the greaseball stuff, the game within the game, which is
34:12
Speaker 2: always fascinating. Are the brewers really good and are they
34:15
Speaker 2: really good cheaters? We'll discuss when we come back. It's
34:18
Speaker 2: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Let snooze alone, wasn't it?
34:26
Speaker 2: It wasn't a snooze.
34:28
Speaker 4: Most people take it was the snooze, But no, no snooze.
34:31
Speaker 1: A mpn's the bolus.
34:39
Speaker 2: Yes Thursday edition rolls along Drew Billy Arman program we
34:56
Speaker 2: call the Huddle, and you're in it with us eight
34:57
Speaker 2: seven seven seven nine to the Nickel a Lot dot
35:00
Speaker 2: Com talking text line. We're gonna get to the Packers
35:03
Speaker 2: and the OTAs and sidestepping the Josh Jacobs question as
35:07
Speaker 2: much as they could. Josh Jacobs released from custody and
35:09
Speaker 2: now the Brown County DA asking for more information because
35:12
Speaker 2: they don't know whether he's going to be charged or
35:14
Speaker 2: not formally.
35:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh again, there's there's talk about this. There's
35:19
Speaker 4: a lot of reporters that are trying to be legal experts.
35:22
Speaker 4: A lot of legal experts that are being reporters, and
35:24
Speaker 4: I appreciate all of them being able to put more
35:26
Speaker 4: pen to paper than I can. But I definitely know
35:29
Speaker 4: one thing, Drew. This isn't going away real quick.
35:32
Speaker 2: Not really. This is not going away real quick, real quick.
35:34
Speaker 2: So you got to try to nip it to The
35:36
Speaker 2: Packers are cavorting at Lambelfield. We'll talk about that, But
35:39
Speaker 2: back to the Brewers Cardinals. So we had the the
35:41
Speaker 2: Urebay crotch chop that shook the baseball establishment beople. We're
35:47
Speaker 2: talking about it, and it I mean essentral yesterday. Yeah,
35:51
Speaker 2: it turns out, how did this happen? What was the
35:53
Speaker 2: genesis of it? You Rebay said something about their manager
35:56
Speaker 2: signaling for the Brewers guys to get hit, and you know,
35:59
Speaker 2: it's the game within the game. Ali Marmal like many
36:03
Speaker 2: managers like when he's got a b for something, stares
36:05
Speaker 2: daggers into the other teams, dug out and you don't
36:07
Speaker 2: see that when you're watching the game, or you can
36:09
Speaker 2: be in the stands and not necessarily see what's going on.
36:13
Speaker 2: And he, uh, the Brewers. The Cardinals got the idea.
36:18
Speaker 2: Now the Cardinals, let's go back in history under Larusa.
36:21
Speaker 2: They have h There was a fair amount of paranoia
36:24
Speaker 2: during the Cardinals championship runs and stuff. Larus good Way.
36:28
Speaker 2: It was one of those yep again like if you
36:31
Speaker 2: hit our if you hit Albert Pooholtz in the foot
36:34
Speaker 2: with a slider that just you know, you know, literally
36:38
Speaker 2: strike slider that bounces off the slider that that bounced
36:41
Speaker 2: off his toe, you'r your number three hitters is getting hit.
36:45
Speaker 2: It's eye for an eye, right. That was the Larusa
36:48
Speaker 2: and the game within the game and the stealing of
36:50
Speaker 2: science LaRussa didn't like it when the Brewers and with
36:52
Speaker 2: Mike Cameron, would untuck their jerseys after a w have
36:55
Speaker 2: to celebrate. Mike Cameron had that celebrats on tuck. We
36:58
Speaker 2: didn't like when he drank a bottle and a half wine. Yeah,
37:01
Speaker 2: so that there's this history here. LaRussa thought the Brewers
37:05
Speaker 2: were manipulating the ribbon boards on the scoreboard while their
37:08
Speaker 2: batters were up when the dome was closed and they
37:11
Speaker 2: were flashing to try to Yeah. Yeah, he was always like,
37:13
Speaker 2: you know, hilting at the windmills. Right, But Ali Marmal,
37:17
Speaker 2: they thought the Brewers were relaying somehow signs to batters
37:21
Speaker 2: from the dugout, like they were not banging a trash can. Sure,
37:25
Speaker 2: as has happened before, but no whistle. And I'm not
37:30
Speaker 2: even sure, Like I know the Brewers everybody when they
37:32
Speaker 2: get guys on second they're trying to relay signs.
37:34
Speaker 4: In fact, there was talking Cubs drag the code. Yeah,
37:38
Speaker 4: and somebody was getting Gasser this past weekend. Right, the
37:40
Speaker 4: Dodgers were kind.
37:41
Speaker 2: Of Gasser that they had his pitches that they knew,
37:44
Speaker 2: or or the guys on second base the way they
37:46
Speaker 2: take their lead they might stick a handout and then
37:48
Speaker 2: give location of where the catcher is setting up. There's
37:51
Speaker 2: different ways and everybody does that, and that is within
37:54
Speaker 2: the box. As long as you're not using apple watches
37:56
Speaker 2: or cameras from the bullpen or you know, binoculars the bullpen.
38:00
Speaker 4: Or buying different guys seats so you can you're not
38:03
Speaker 4: doing the whole Uh. Who was the kid from Michigan? Yeah,
38:06
Speaker 4: counter stallions.
38:07
Speaker 2: Counter Stallion's thing right now. But they were convinced that
38:10
Speaker 2: the birds were doing that from the dugout. And Marma
38:12
Speaker 2: said that he made a gesture like something about be
38:15
Speaker 2: smart or somebody's gonna get the ribs. Someone's gonna get
38:17
Speaker 2: hit in the ribs. Someone's gonna get hit and that's
38:20
Speaker 2: what you Rebey took uh exception to and Marma like
38:25
Speaker 2: he gave the great answer. And I've heard variations this.
38:27
Speaker 2: I've never in my career have I asked a picture
38:29
Speaker 2: to throw at anybody. A lot of times you don't
38:31
Speaker 2: have to. Sometimes you have to tell them not to
38:33
Speaker 2: understood a situation. But going back when I was covering
38:36
Speaker 2: the Admirals, they had a coach like Rick Lee. He
38:39
Speaker 2: was a badass defenseman from the Hartford Whales, old school
38:42
Speaker 2: hockey guy like his old like the scrap iron of hockey.
38:45
Speaker 2: And he's like he told me that one time, I
38:47
Speaker 2: have never in my career I sent a player out
38:50
Speaker 2: to get in a fight. Like, oh, really, so you
38:52
Speaker 2: just decided that, you know, in this key situation, you're
38:55
Speaker 2: going to send your fourth line center out for the draw?
38:58
Speaker 2: You just it just was, he said, I have never
39:03
Speaker 2: I've never sent a player on the ice with with
39:05
Speaker 2: a direct order to get in a fight. I may
39:07
Speaker 2: have stood behind him and said I hope something happens
39:10
Speaker 2: out there soon, but I never send him out there
39:12
Speaker 2: to fight. Can say he never asked for a trace.
39:16
Speaker 2: So Ali Marmol said that it's like, you know, say
39:19
Speaker 2: what you want. That's my I've never told anybody you
39:21
Speaker 2: putting people at risk. I would never do that. Not
39:23
Speaker 2: gonna happen. But he did, you know, if you keep
39:26
Speaker 2: stealing signs, this is what's gonna happen. And so you know,
39:32
Speaker 2: they they're they're thinking that the Brewers are getting an
39:34
Speaker 2: edge somehow, and there's nothing hell hath no fury like
39:37
Speaker 2: a paranoid baseball team. Yes, they think there's they've got
39:40
Speaker 2: an edge on us.
39:41
Speaker 4: Rex Ryan would be really proud of this paranoia because
39:44
Speaker 4: it feels like him thinking that every single plane flying over,
39:47
Speaker 4: or George Hallis thinking every plane flying over was Lombardy
39:50
Speaker 4: and vice versa. You gotta have that little bit of good,
39:53
Speaker 4: healthy paranoia. I also appreciated when the Herreic conversation came up.
39:59
Speaker 4: He's like, let's and I told him, hey, you keep
40:01
Speaker 4: it down, and I mentioned it let Off yesterday on
40:04
Speaker 4: MLB Central and Durosis said it very very well.
40:06
Speaker 2: Was hey, man, I was a fifteen year hitter.
40:09
Speaker 4: If somebody throws up an in and I turn around
40:12
Speaker 4: to make a gesture and say something to the picture,
40:14
Speaker 4: I'm asking him to get a little upset, right Like
40:16
Speaker 4: I'm baiting him to get a little upset, a little miffed.
40:19
Speaker 4: And that's when you see your Rebay kind of laugh
40:21
Speaker 4: at the situation with Herrera after the high ball, and
40:24
Speaker 4: there was only more and more mounting disdain.
40:27
Speaker 2: I think between the two dugouts, So Marmol said, we
40:30
Speaker 2: felt like they were being pretty demonstrative about relaying from
40:32
Speaker 2: the dugout. I looked over and said, hey, don't do it.
40:34
Speaker 2: Be smart. You're gonna get somebody hurt. Like, what are
40:36
Speaker 2: we trying to do here? And he said smart, He
40:39
Speaker 2: pointed to his head and then Hurt pointed to his ribs.
40:41
Speaker 2: He said that was it. Not sure what else happened
40:44
Speaker 2: right now, he thinks that the Brewers were relaying signs
40:49
Speaker 2: from the dugout. He said, that's part of the game.
40:51
Speaker 2: You have to be button up on your end for
40:52
Speaker 2: it not to be the case. Right. If someone has
40:54
Speaker 2: something on us, that's on our staff, our players to
40:56
Speaker 2: clean it up. But then there's a certain way that
40:58
Speaker 2: you use it. I'll leave that up to you guys.
41:00
Speaker 2: So he's leaving the door open, saying the bruiser to
41:03
Speaker 2: Demonstra Brewers Daniel Vogelbach, who looms the large in the story, Yeah,
41:07
Speaker 2: the moment said that you know we're not relaying signs
41:09
Speaker 2: from the dug out. That simple, right, Then he didn't like,
41:13
Speaker 2: you know the gesture, Yeah, hit it with the hit
41:16
Speaker 2: him with the U DAR. But no one has to
41:17
Speaker 2: cheat against you apparently, and vogel Box like, what is
41:20
Speaker 2: why is Marma looking at her? A lot of times
41:21
Speaker 2: if you're staring at the dug out, the other team's like,
41:23
Speaker 2: only mind your own business, stop stop gawking in here.
41:26
Speaker 2: They don't even like the look. You can't even look
41:28
Speaker 2: over here without pissing us off. Right, So Marma and
41:31
Speaker 2: Vogelbach exchange words loudly at the end of BP, apparently
41:36
Speaker 2: on the field on Tuesday night. So uh, then they
41:40
Speaker 2: apparently like reached out and spoke and everything was good.
41:44
Speaker 2: So Yelich had said before the game that it had
41:46
Speaker 2: been handled internally and externally, both meaning and so vogel
41:50
Speaker 2: Box in the mix of this, right, so he was chirping, Hey,
41:53
Speaker 2: we're finding out with.
41:54
Speaker 3: Daniel vol I was just gonna say, it's some this
41:56
Speaker 3: impact kind of that we know of, right, So that
41:58
Speaker 3: was kind of cool.
41:59
Speaker 4: Well, this is this is a part of the game, right,
42:02
Speaker 4: I mean, there's the finding tips and finding tells that
42:05
Speaker 4: that's what you are supposed to do in football, in baseball,
42:08
Speaker 4: in basketball, in hockey, every sport. You're supposed to try
42:11
Speaker 4: and find any little competitive advantage you can. And it
42:15
Speaker 4: works both ways, right, It can work for your team
42:17
Speaker 4: and work against it. I think if Devin Williams against
42:19
Speaker 4: the Mets a couple of years ago, and the miked
42:23
Speaker 4: up that the Mets put out, they bring Pete Alonzo
42:26
Speaker 4: over to talk to the assistant pigeon coach. He goes, hey, man,
42:28
Speaker 4: he turns the glove, he covered, curls the glove. It's
42:31
Speaker 4: a change up, waight back on it, and then he
42:33
Speaker 4: puts one into the bleachers. Like that's the game within
42:35
Speaker 4: the game. Within the game, you gotta see if you can.
42:38
Speaker 4: If you can't beat them, join them and try to
42:39
Speaker 4: get battle.
42:39
Speaker 2: Teams have accused the Brewers of being good at cheating,
42:41
Speaker 2: because that's how else can they win ninety some games
42:43
Speaker 2: with the no name roster they have. So it's interesting
42:46
Speaker 2: layers of it. Nothing came of it. Everybody on the
42:49
Speaker 2: Bruis side at least condemned your rebay for overdoing it
42:52
