Speaker 1: Oh my god, this man's been out all night. Armand sorry. Ready.
0:07
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin is on the air all aboard
0:11
Speaker 1: for the Monday edition.
0:13
Speaker 2: Welcome in to the five o'clock Club of the Huddle,
0:17
Speaker 2: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid, armand sorry, I'm bringing it to you.
0:20
Speaker 2: Rested and refreshed, sort of after a glorious weekend that
0:24
Speaker 2: saw the coronation of a couple of champions and a king.
0:28
Speaker 1: The new King of New York is Jalen Bronson.
0:31
Speaker 2: Brews win a series against the Phillies, which was uplifting,
0:35
Speaker 2: especially when they beat their best guy, making you think
0:37
Speaker 2: maybe this brus he does have something special.
0:41
Speaker 1: Welcome in, boys, How was it? How was this weekend?
0:43
Speaker 2: What a damn summer we're gonna have now that we
0:44
Speaker 2: put the winter sports to bed? Yes they have Now
0:47
Speaker 2: I've been taken out back and there puts it bed, Drew.
0:49
Speaker 2: It's well said, and it happened and wrapped up all
0:51
Speaker 2: in one weekend. I kind of enjoy Uh. We just
0:54
Speaker 2: had championship Saturday and Sunday.
0:56
Speaker 3: Uh, both heartbreaking finishes for the home team and the
1:00
Speaker 3: game ops department of the San Antonio and Spurs in
1:03
Speaker 3: Vegas Golden Knights, well done because they had to prep
1:06
Speaker 3: to do what you hate to think of and watch
1:08
Speaker 3: your team and watch another team celebrate a title on
1:12
Speaker 3: your ice er, on your court, and you have to
1:14
Speaker 3: be the backdrop for it. But both did a phenomenal job,
1:17
Speaker 3: and you said it, Man King of New York. I
1:19
Speaker 3: don't know that There's been quite another story of career
1:23
Speaker 3: arc that I can remember in the last couple of years.
1:25
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of people try to do a
1:27
Speaker 3: lot of cross sport comparisons, and it feels like a
1:30
Speaker 3: one to one Jalen Brunson went from a second round pick, albeit.
1:35
Speaker 1: Now high high school state.
1:38
Speaker 3: Champion, national champion in college NBA Finals champion.
1:44
Speaker 1: I don't know, Drew.
1:45
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe if you're a little undersized, maybe a tick
1:47
Speaker 3: to slow, but you've won pretty much everywhere you've gone.
1:50
Speaker 3: Maybe I take a flyer on that guy before the
1:52
Speaker 3: middle of the second round. Maybe I think I'm starting
1:56
Speaker 3: to wonder if that that's a key to this whole
1:59
Speaker 3: thing is every team that he's on seems to get better,
2:02
Speaker 3: and the guys around him seem to enjoy playing with him,
2:05
Speaker 3: and nobody has a bad word to say about him.
2:07
Speaker 3: Maybe we take that guy instead of potential rus, which
2:10
Speaker 3: the NBA draft tends to generally be. This is a
2:14
Speaker 3: skill set that you can't miss, but he misses.
2:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good point.
2:18
Speaker 4: But he's proof that whatever you have to convince people of,
2:21
Speaker 4: Like Jalen Brunson was always a good player, but nobody
2:24
Speaker 4: in the world was convinced he's a star. And all
2:26
Speaker 4: these things you see all these old clips pop up,
2:28
Speaker 4: the Becky Ham and even though there'sn Old Barkley one
2:30
Speaker 4: where now always were apologizing a shack, like nobody was
2:33
Speaker 4: convinced he was that guy. Like we like to anoint
2:35
Speaker 4: these guys in the NBA the stars and the ones
2:37
Speaker 4: that are gonna do it. Listen, Sga was an example
2:39
Speaker 4: that last year and Jalen Brunson, now where you didn't
2:42
Speaker 4: think of those guys as being the stars quote unquote
2:45
Speaker 4: that would lead a team to a championship until they do.
2:47
Speaker 4: But now they do it. You have to put respect
2:49
Speaker 4: on his name. It was so impressive. The way he
2:51
Speaker 4: did it too, remind me a little Gianis ask him
2:53
Speaker 4: that I'm just putting you on my back. In Game six,
2:56
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson just put them on his back in that game.
3:00
Speaker 4: It was so remarkable looking at the score, seeing the
3:02
Speaker 4: Knicks had scored what seventy something to that point, and
3:04
Speaker 4: knowing he had half of those points. It's like, basically,
3:09
Speaker 4: down the stretch, He's just said the fourth like we're down.
3:12
Speaker 4: We're gonna let Jalen try and win one on one
3:14
Speaker 4: every single possession and there's no room for air. And
3:17
Speaker 4: he did it like he had to score every time,
3:20
Speaker 4: and he basically did it. A couple of big plays
3:22
Speaker 4: obviously here and there for Mitchell Robinson, the rebound Carl Towns,
3:25
Speaker 4: but it's like it was all Jalen down the stretch.
3:27
Speaker 4: He put everything on his back and he said, I'm
3:29
Speaker 4: gonna do this myself, and that's not easy to do.
3:31
Speaker 4: I mean to actually do it, especially on the road.
3:33
Speaker 4: Good point, Billy, amazing, amazing stuff. One of the impressive events.
3:37
Speaker 4: One of the most impressive things we've seen is this. Also, Guys,
3:41
Speaker 4: I never thought that if we ever saw the Knicks
3:43
Speaker 4: one championship, I'd actually consider them like a likable, plucky
3:46
Speaker 4: under the type team I always thought, liking the nixt
3:49
Speaker 4: one that title New York, here we go again. But man,
3:52
Speaker 4: this was a likable New York Knicks team and a likable.
3:55
Speaker 1: Story even with all those shocking you know, I just didn't.
3:59
Speaker 4: I would never expect it to say, all these celebrities,
4:01
Speaker 4: all these famous people, all these you know, New York
4:03
Speaker 4: Knicks fans, I'm like, oh, you know what, We're kind
4:05
Speaker 4: of happy for him.
4:06
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
4:07
Speaker 3: They lost two of their first three playoff games, true,
4:10
Speaker 3: and then lost one more in a month.
4:14
Speaker 2: Run, and to be down double digits in all the
4:17
Speaker 2: games of the finals and still throw the fortitude. What
4:21
Speaker 2: I love now is the revisionism. Like Jalen Brunson, he's
4:24
Speaker 2: the man. He is the king of New York right now.
4:26
Speaker 2: He's I think he's gonna be blowing up because the
4:28
Speaker 2: way that team unifies the city, he'll blow up like
4:31
Speaker 2: bigger than Eli Manning. He'll get more invitations to high
4:33
Speaker 2: end bar Mitzvah's and stuff like that, well out more jerseys,
4:37
Speaker 2: and I think Drew He's got a chance to be
4:38
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger than that, just like in the
4:40
Speaker 2: sport right like from the need of the American superstar,
4:44
Speaker 2: the hope of it. Maybe I'm wrong, but he's just
4:46
Speaker 2: he is one of the most likable cats Uh in
4:50
Speaker 2: the NBA and next steph Curry and in a sport
4:53
Speaker 2: that gets h dunked on pardon the punt Uh. For
4:57
Speaker 2: the majority of the time, for everything that doesn't happen
4:59
Speaker 2: or what the guy's do and don't do off the floor,
5:02
Speaker 2: he does everything right and battles it and he's they're
5:06
Speaker 2: standing there hugging his dad after he wins the title.
5:08
Speaker 2: He's hard to find another superstar that folks would want
5:12
Speaker 2: to look up. And and when they say don't meet
5:14
Speaker 2: your idols or kids shouldn't have athletes be role models,
5:17
Speaker 2: bad news for you.
5:18
Speaker 3: There are always going to be role models to kids.
5:20
Speaker 3: This matters if it's good ones or bad ones. That's
5:22
Speaker 3: a hell of a one to half when you look
5:23
Speaker 3: at it right there onto that floor, a lot of moments,
5:26
Speaker 3: How painful is it.
5:27
Speaker 1: For one ring out? Ahoya arman? Sorry?
5:29
Speaker 2: And to see Villanova guys celebrating again, well, you know,
5:33
Speaker 2: collect does it offset that colec smoking a cigar?
5:36
Speaker 4: And I think Taylor getting the Tayler getting the ship
5:38
Speaker 4: was pretty cool. I was never a huge nobhavior I
5:41
Speaker 4: to say either they were. I never looked at them
5:43
Speaker 4: as like a like a team. I didn't like, like,
5:46
Speaker 4: you know, the providences of the world. The nice thing
5:47
Speaker 4: about Villanova when they were winning all those titles is
5:50
Speaker 4: they were they were carrying the flag for the Big
5:52
Speaker 4: East in a kind of a tenuous time when they
5:54
Speaker 4: broke apart, you know, from the rest and and started
5:56
Speaker 4: their own conference conference. So I I really had a
5:59
Speaker 4: big I never really had a huge problem with Villanova.
6:02
Speaker 4: There was a sense like, all right, you know, you
6:04
Speaker 4: can just you know, you can aspire to be like
6:07
Speaker 4: them if you have the They're in a certain situation
6:10
Speaker 4: that's sort of similar to Marquette.
6:11
Speaker 1: So I'm happy for him.
6:12
Speaker 4: I'm happy for the quote unquote Villanova Knicks, as we've
6:15
Speaker 4: heard a lot.
6:16
Speaker 1: Dante never got to be part of that.
6:17
Speaker 4: I mean did win a title with us, obviously, but
6:19
Speaker 4: he didn't get to be part of that Villanova Knicks title.
6:21
Speaker 1: But yeah, Colic got the dub. Colic got the ring.
6:24
Speaker 4: So that was that was a nice little my my
6:27
Speaker 4: buddies group chat is going off once Tyler gonna get minutes.
6:30
Speaker 4: I'm like, Mike, Mike, relax, enjoy the game.
6:35

6:38
Speaker 4: We're here to watch Tyler Kolak sitting in that warm
6:40
Speaker 4: up with Ax.
6:41
Speaker 1: Get any minutes, not get any minutes. I'm like, listen,
6:44
Speaker 1: there's no blowoffs in this series. So that's the ring.
6:48
Speaker 2: He's getting a ring and he'll take it. He had
6:50
Speaker 2: his moments during the regular seasons. Oh yeah, part of
6:53
Speaker 2: the team.
6:53
Speaker 4: Most of his moments during the regular season, just to
6:56
Speaker 4: be you know, to remember, remind myself of that is
6:58
Speaker 4: when he played two games in one day at the
7:00
Speaker 4: West Chest.
7:00
Speaker 2: It's an impressive and so it's about grinding. It's about
7:04
Speaker 2: work ethic. That's what you do it.
7:06
Speaker 4: There you go, Billy, We're hard to get better. No,
7:08
Speaker 4: it was a it was a cool finals. It was
7:09
Speaker 4: a great weekend in general. I mean you mentioned Drew
7:12
Speaker 4: in the outset talk about the USA have and that
7:14
Speaker 4: big the big Open Open Course.
7:16
Speaker 2: World Cup off and running giving us something else just
7:19
Speaker 2: to shift our focus.
7:20
Speaker 1: To are we gonna win in the Cup?
7:22
Speaker 3: We might win the Holy Cow like that was for
7:26
Speaker 3: for somebody that did never has an or or won't
7:29
Speaker 3: fake it as like a massive soccer fan. I'm watching
7:31
Speaker 3: it on on Friday night. Along with the dominance that's
7:34
Speaker 3: happened in an American family, field and I had a textan Eggs,
7:36
Speaker 3: who's one of the bigger soccer guys.
7:38
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, wait a second, hold on, are
7:41
Speaker 1: we this good? Or is this Paraguay situation just that bad?
7:46
Speaker 4: There?
7:46
Speaker 3: There was a there's a blending in trying to figure
7:48
Speaker 3: out the eyes or did you just walk into the
7:50
Speaker 3: greatest American buzz solve all time? In Los Angeles right there?
7:54
Speaker 3: And our soccer is taking everyone's football down. Now we
7:58
Speaker 3: run football, and we run football if we can win
8:01
Speaker 3: what we have to win seven more games?
8:03
Speaker 1: Is that how this works?
8:04
Speaker 3: Now?
8:04
Speaker 4: It's he expanded expanded knockout stage now, right, So you
8:07
Speaker 4: have to get out of group stage and then win
8:08
Speaker 4: five more I believe, and drew to your point. Yeah,
8:11
Speaker 4: I mean we're not. But I'll tell you one thing.
8:14
Speaker 4: What they gave us the right to do now I
8:16
Speaker 4: had the right to dream. Now I can dare now
8:19
Speaker 4: it's smacked now yeah, now it's there. Now it's one
8:21
Speaker 4: of those but it's like, wow, the cood what we
8:23
Speaker 4: did here? Now I have the right to actually dream
8:24
Speaker 4: about it and to think about it. Not one of
8:28
Speaker 4: the favorites, but hey, who knows, man, Stranger things have happened, right,
8:32
Speaker 4: Stranger things have happened, So we're always going to dare
8:34
Speaker 4: to dream.
8:35
Speaker 1: And that's what we could do now, dare to dream.
8:37
Speaker 1: I love it.
8:38
Speaker 2: There to dream eight seven seven seven nine four seven three.
8:40
Speaker 2: We're already getting folks checking. And you five o'clock clubbers,
8:43
Speaker 2: we call you Insomniac's early risers, sociopaths waiting for the
8:46
Speaker 2: health club to open at five am. But there are
8:48
Speaker 2: people up and around at this hour. I'm stunned by
8:51
Speaker 2: it all the time. Talk to some early risers. It's
8:54
Speaker 2: the number one question I'm getting at cocktail parties. Now.
8:56
Speaker 2: It used to be who's the biggest jerk of players
8:58
Speaker 2: that you've talked to? Because that's what people are fascinating with.
9:01
Speaker 2: Now it's like, how do you get up and do
9:02
Speaker 2: those hours? Yeah, sleep when you can, Yeah, you know,
9:08
Speaker 2: you hit the rack at a normal hour and and
9:10
Speaker 2: then just don't get that panic to wake up like
9:12
Speaker 2: Billy got this morning.
9:13
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was up with the boys a little bit
9:15
Speaker 3: last night and I hit snooze a couple of times,
9:18
Speaker 3: and there was one moment where I leaned back, looked
9:20
Speaker 3: over at the clock. I was whoa, whoa, whoa one
9:23
Speaker 3: too many snooze is probably three too many snoozes, and
9:25
Speaker 3: you better fire this bad boy up. But those are
9:28
Speaker 3: the ones once every five days, and then you know,
9:30
Speaker 3: just like a starter, you get to enjoy the next
9:33
Speaker 3: three or four days where you wake up casually and
9:35
Speaker 3: enjoy the sunrise while we drive in, which is hard
9:38
Speaker 3: to beat.
9:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've all been there, like so I feel like,
9:43
Speaker 4: you know, if this ever happens to us, it's okay.
9:45
Speaker 1: That's why we've got three of us. We'll pick each
9:46
Speaker 1: other up until the other one.
9:47
Speaker 3: It's still not nearly as bad drew as when when
9:50
Speaker 3: Armand and I first started doing the morning show, and
9:51
Speaker 3: that one was the six o'clock variety, but for us
9:54
Speaker 3: where my wife actually did hit me and goes, hey,
9:57
Speaker 3: I think gotta go. And I just sat up like
10:01
Speaker 3: the undertaker, out of bed, grabbed my keys and walked out.
10:04
Speaker 1: I just like I didn't. I didn't do anything. I
10:05
Speaker 1: didn't grab a water it.
10:06
Speaker 3: Didn't didn't put my nothing, didn't put my contact in,
10:09
Speaker 3: and I think drove without my glasses at that point.
10:11
Speaker 3: I just I got up, grabbed the grab the keys,
10:13
Speaker 3: walked right out, made it here just in time, and
10:16
Speaker 3: Armand's like, hey, what's up. You don't understand how close
10:19
Speaker 3: you were doing having this thing be the most impressive
10:22
Speaker 3: solo mission of all time ready to go. But we
10:24
Speaker 3: fired it up, and we had a lot of folks
10:26
Speaker 3: fired up with us, and probably more especially if Steven
10:29
Speaker 3: on Alaskas checking in from Tomahawk, which I don't believe
10:32
Speaker 3: he is the only one heading to the lake for
10:34
Speaker 3: some fishing.
10:35
Speaker 1: Go Brewers.
10:36
Speaker 3: We are going to get the early risers, the workers,
10:38
Speaker 3: the workout folks, but also those heading to the lake
10:41
Speaker 3: for the early ones because they bird gets the worm
10:43
Speaker 3: or the musky. If we're trying to fire these things
10:45
Speaker 3: up on the lake quickly. Troy Casper here five am,
10:48
Speaker 3: cruting the YouTube. We got the text coming in, so
10:49
Speaker 3: a lot of them coming in. We are my man,
10:51
Speaker 3: Andrew Fritch coming in here with a Motov cocktail at
10:54
Speaker 3: five am. We'll get to it this at some point,
10:57
Speaker 3: but this is a big accusation. He's a lot over
11:01
Speaker 3: emotional damage to the floor early in the morning. So
11:03
Speaker 3: emotional damage, yeah, oh my goodness.
11:06
Speaker 2: All right, So it's eight seven seven seven nine four
11:07
Speaker 2: one ninety seven three Nicolay Lotto Com talk and text
11:10
Speaker 2: line you can connect with us, all you early risers
11:13
Speaker 2: and five o'clock clubbers. Now, uh, the Knicks are already saying, okay,
11:19
Speaker 2: how do the next new How are they going to repeat?
11:21
Speaker 1: I don't know that they will, right.
11:24
Speaker 4: This might have been a supernomalty run, but it's by
11:26
Speaker 4: its systemic.
11:27
Speaker 2: You look at the Bucks, you think teams are ready
11:29
Speaker 2: like Oklahoma City, Oh, that's going to be a dynasty.
11:31
Speaker 2: Well they didn't when they didn't get past the Spurs.
11:33
Speaker 2: It's the way the NBA is and the grind now
11:36
Speaker 2: of playing guys just deep and playing the extra series,
11:39
Speaker 2: and like, if the next decide to run it back,
11:43
Speaker 2: everybody else is going to try to get better, and
11:45
Speaker 2: you know, then there's kind of you're stuck. Everybody else
11:48
Speaker 2: is getting better and you're trying to hit the inside
11:51
Speaker 2: straight up. Everybody being healthy and productive again and running
11:54
Speaker 2: it back is tough, man, as we've seen it.
11:56
Speaker 1: Is, just it's not as easy as it once was.
11:58
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it is just the expanded
12:01
Speaker 3: one like you mentioned, like how much different every series
12:04
Speaker 3: being seven games is compared to a couple at least
12:07
Speaker 3: having the five gamers for a long time, but for
12:09
Speaker 3: a sport that's been dominated by dynasties. They put that
12:13
Speaker 3: graphic up after the next finish it offense, after the
12:15
Speaker 3: ceremony of the eight consecutive years and eight different champions.
12:19
Speaker 3: It's just such a different time in the sport where
12:23
Speaker 3: we're waiting for somebody to grab the mantle. But everybody
12:26
Speaker 3: said they hated it when you knew it was gonna
12:28
Speaker 3: be a Lebron and Steph finals. Because for four straight
12:31
Speaker 3: years the finals, whatever team was going to be Lebron
12:34
Speaker 3: was going to be a part of it, and then
12:36
Speaker 3: it was gonna be insert team over here. There's so
12:38
Speaker 3: much more parody and it has got a lot of
12:41
Speaker 3: fan bases desperate to.
12:42
Speaker 1: Try to grab that brass ring.
12:44
Speaker 2: Lebron, you know, is such a polarizer and I don't
12:46
Speaker 2: get it. That's one of the weird things about our
12:48
Speaker 2: sports culture. It's because he's not Jordan, but he's Lebron
12:50
Speaker 2: and he's still won to one. But tell me when
12:53
Speaker 2: the next time we're going to see someone play in
12:54
Speaker 2: eight straight finals is I ain't gonna govern it. He's
12:57
Speaker 2: every outlier, right, he's the freak, and it's like, okay,
13:01
Speaker 2: but again, people.
13:02
Speaker 1: Have truly lost some of those, so it doesn't count.
13:05
Speaker 2: They've made their opinions known of Lebron, but that was
13:08
Speaker 2: an incredible run. And now what we have, and it's
13:13
Speaker 2: by design, I think it's clearly it's a result of
13:15
Speaker 2: what they're trying to do, and with the player movement
13:18
Speaker 2: and just the way the game has changed, gonna be
13:21
Speaker 2: hard for anybody to repeat it is funny, or make
13:23
Speaker 2: it even make it back to the finals, Like are
13:26
Speaker 2: the next to favorite to win again?
13:27
Speaker 1: I don't know.
13:27
Speaker 2: I mean, can they keep everybody together unless they go
13:30
Speaker 2: and blow it up and get Yannis, which they're not
13:33
Speaker 2: don't seem poised to do.
13:34
Speaker 1: I can't think so. I think you missed your window there,
13:36
Speaker 1: big guy.
13:37
Speaker 2: And that's the thing is like the Bucks tried to
13:39
Speaker 2: ride it and run it back and then they try
13:40
Speaker 2: to add Dame and none of it worked.
13:42
Speaker 3: And they were right at the and they were right
13:44
Speaker 3: at the front end of this, which I also think
13:46
Speaker 3: drew is a massive part of not being able to
13:49
Speaker 3: run it back so much, and maybe why a team
13:51
Speaker 3: from the East Coast is maybe thinking about changing course
13:55
Speaker 3: for the big fella was is the the institution of
13:59
Speaker 3: the the second Apron and how difficult it is then
14:02
Speaker 3: to maneuver around. The Bucks were the first team to
14:05
Speaker 3: really get hamstrung by it when they went and grabbed
14:07
Speaker 3: Dame and they had two guys making at that time
14:09
Speaker 3: fifty million. Soon these guys in Oklahoma City are gonna
14:12
Speaker 3: have two guys making seventy million with Jalen Williams and
14:15
Speaker 3: Jay Gilgess Alexander. The Caps going up, but the percentage
14:18
Speaker 3: of it is still what it is. The financial limitations
14:24
Speaker 3: make it so much more difficult. And we'll see how
14:27
Speaker 3: how the Spurs team comes back. Because everybody looks at
14:29
Speaker 3: it and says, we got three great players in harper
14:33
Speaker 3: Castle and obviously Wemby.
14:34
Speaker 1: They're going to go to like nine finals.
14:36
Speaker 3: They'll go it's their league now, so you might as
14:39
Speaker 3: well get it now because they'll just continue to rattle off.
14:42
Speaker 3: They might not go back for three, four or five years.
14:45
Speaker 3: You don't know when Lebron's start. At the beginning of it,
14:48
Speaker 3: when they went and got swept by the Spurs got
14:50
Speaker 3: humbled by it. It took a few years to be
14:52
Speaker 3: able to get back, and you think you get close.
14:55
Speaker 3: It's why it's so tough to not finish it off
14:58
Speaker 3: when you're there ever know for sure that you're gonna
15:01
Speaker 3: have one of these chances again.
15:02
Speaker 1: You never know. It's it's that the Dan Campbell thing.
15:05
Speaker 4: You ever know, if we're kind of come back, it
15:06
Speaker 4: should look like, yeah, I should look like that with
15:08
Speaker 4: jokis right. So it is funny because we do like
15:12
Speaker 4: to build our teams in our leagues now for parody,
15:15
Speaker 4: which is I think a good thing to have that
15:17
Speaker 4: equity or had that difference and opportunity because when there
15:20
Speaker 4: are too many dynasties, You're right, billy people tend to
15:22
Speaker 4: complain about it, but then it's like they get nostalgic
15:24
Speaker 4: for the dynasties or they.
15:25
Speaker 1: Seem to want me.
15:27
Speaker 2: You're missing the point that the national past time is
15:29
Speaker 2: bitching money about everything no matter what.
15:31
Speaker 1: It is, like, I'm sick of these same teams winning. Well,
15:33
Speaker 1: there's no dynasties, nobody's any good anymore. Mm hmm. We
15:37
Speaker 1: have it both ways. We got to get on fire
15:39
Speaker 1: onto both sides of that one.
15:40
Speaker 4: It must make us feel more comfortable in terms of
15:43
Speaker 4: our pathology to be able to we would you there's enough.
15:46
Speaker 3: The big part of it is you like having the
15:49
Speaker 3: throne to shoot at right for certainty. Quickly, Patrick Mahomes
15:53
Speaker 3: went from the most likable guy in professional sports to
15:56
Speaker 3: the most despised human being in all of football. And
16:00
Speaker 3: they went to five straight Super Bowls, or five out
16:02
Speaker 3: of six Super Bowls. It's crazy how quickly that can change.
16:04
Speaker 3: But you see it all the time. You either die
16:08
Speaker 3: the hero or live long enough to become the villain.
16:10
Speaker 3: And I don't know that the Knicks will be in
16:12
Speaker 3: the title picture too long for them to become villains,
16:15
Speaker 3: because right now they are one of the more likable
16:17
Speaker 3: ones in there. San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Boston all right
16:20
Speaker 3: now listed Drew with better odds to win the Indiana
16:23
Speaker 3: Championship in twenty shocks, because it's there's going to be
16:26
Speaker 3: an injury that happens, something's going to go wrong, like
16:29
Speaker 3: they hit the inside straight.
16:30
Speaker 1: Mike Brown was the right man for the moment.
16:33
Speaker 2: He kind of let his he let his veterans kind
16:35
Speaker 2: of let him kind of flown. He went kind of
16:38
Speaker 2: with the Harvey Keene approach right to kind of like you.
16:41
Speaker 1: And then he got to.
16:43
Speaker 2: His first meeting was you know, I hate I hate meetings,
16:46
Speaker 2: and this meeting's over, Get up out of here.
16:49
Speaker 1: Let's get out of here.
16:50
Speaker 2: That's what that veteran team needed, and he listened to
16:51
Speaker 2: his veterans and didn't try to force his will, similar
16:54
Speaker 2: to Mike Budenoles or right with the flow a little
16:56
Speaker 2: bit towards the end once they go down to Zer
16:59
Speaker 2: against Brooklyn, Hey, fellas, you guys know how to stop
17:01
Speaker 2: these guys as I sure Sack don't.
17:03
Speaker 3: And and ultimately they had the right play. I think
17:06
Speaker 3: the other fun part about it for Mike Brown is
17:09
Speaker 3: he just luckily also had an agent on the other side,
17:13
Speaker 3: one of his favorite players that he's ever coached, Aaron Fox,
17:15
Speaker 3: decided to go turncoat and just Benedict Arnold the oodness?
17:19
Speaker 1: Did you see him?
17:20
Speaker 3: Not full Monty Williams go and join the celebration to
17:23
Speaker 3: go and tap up Mike Brown after the game, but
17:25
Speaker 3: he did have to get himself over there and say
17:28
Speaker 3: thank you and Mike Brown, no, Darren you, thank you,
17:31
Speaker 3: thank you.
17:32
Speaker 4: In a series of a lot of lingering questions for
17:35
Speaker 4: san Antonio why this happened, because it sure looked like
17:38
Speaker 4: they fumbled it in a lot of these games. That's
17:40
Speaker 4: one of the biggest why dearon Fox continued to play underwhelming,
17:44
Speaker 4: not play well mess up in these big moments.
17:46
Speaker 1: Was he hurt?
17:47
Speaker 4: Was he not?
17:47
Speaker 1: Whatever it is?
17:48
Speaker 4: That's one of them lingering questions, along with what people
17:51
Speaker 4: are doing with Wemby now, and we talk about the
17:52
Speaker 4: way we do this human nature. It's also a hero
17:54
Speaker 4: to villain arc. Wenby was everybody's darling and then he's
17:58
Speaker 4: now he can't kind of done that, can't do this
18:00
Speaker 4: and he's the.
18:01
Speaker 2: First time in the playoffs and.
18:04
Speaker 5: We can't.
18:05
Speaker 1: It is what it is. We can't say, let help ourselves.
18:07
Speaker 1: We can't say like Brunson was just that good.
18:09
Speaker 3: That well, no, I mean Wenby was top down in
18:11
Speaker 3: the stretch of the last two games though, too sure.
18:13
Speaker 2: But I love the revisionism though, because when Mike Brown
18:17
Speaker 2: was hired, people ripped the move.
18:19
Speaker 1: I know Mike ripped them.
18:22
Speaker 2: He was like there what sloppy seconds, like sloppy fifths,
18:25
Speaker 2: Like they tried a whole bunch of other dudes they.
18:28
Speaker 1: Call eurly too, right.
18:29
Speaker 2: I think that everybody under the sun then, and then
18:32
Speaker 2: the revisionism that goes on now because go back and
18:35
Speaker 2: I saw somebody put together a montage of people crushing
18:38
Speaker 2: the knicks for acquiring Jalen Bruns. He's not he's not
18:42
Speaker 2: gonna is he gonna lead you to the even the
18:44
Speaker 2: second round?
18:45
Speaker 1: No?
18:46
Speaker 2: No, okay, yeah, and he scored forty six hold my beer,
18:49
Speaker 2: and like you know, like in every big basket this season,
18:52
Speaker 2: every big moment, he was there. And he's the King
18:55
Speaker 2: of New York now, and all these talking heads just
18:57
Speaker 2: move on to the next.
18:58
Speaker 1: No, no, true, then they always do to the next.
19:01
Speaker 2: They always never held there's never any receipts for anybody
19:05
Speaker 2: to put that into the ether.
19:06
Speaker 1: A hot take, you know, Okay.
19:09
Speaker 3: Great, it's my favorite thing about freezing cold takes like
19:11
Speaker 3: the ones in game. Yeah, those are fun, the ones
19:14
Speaker 3: where you can bring back from years years ago of
19:17
Speaker 3: Steven A. Smith going on ESPN. He can't even be
19:21
Speaker 3: Ald Houston. This is his lebron James, it's Jalen Brunson
19:26
Speaker 3: who hated watching that finals more and watching the next win.
19:29
Speaker 3: Tom Thibodeau, as you mentioned, Dante DiVincenzo, it.
19:33
Speaker 1: Was up there.
19:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's up there, or the aforementioned Giannis athetic Goomba.
19:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:42
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think when the beginning of the
19:44
Speaker 3: year came up and the first of the will I
19:47
Speaker 3: shouldn't say first, maybe the seventh of the ninety six
19:50
Speaker 3: sham stories pointing to Giannis letting the Bucks know before
19:53
Speaker 3: the season, Hey, I don't want to play here anymore,
19:55
Speaker 3: and New York is the only place I'll go, and
19:57
Speaker 3: the Knicks are the only team I want to play for,
19:59
Speaker 3: and the apparent conversation and how close the negotiation was.
20:03
Speaker 1: It's just I wonder this, uh this, uh, well, we'll
20:07
Speaker 1: sit with him for a little while.
20:07
Speaker 2: I think Giannis is pained watching anybody else win the
20:10
Speaker 2: Lario bra. That's fair that one's anybody else that wins.
20:15
Speaker 2: I thought you're gonna see Minnesota Timberwolves fans or Jimmy Butler, Oh,
20:18
Speaker 2: Jimmy bow does see Carl Anthony Towns get a title
20:21
Speaker 2: before him, the guy he clowned in the famous Timberwolves practice.
20:24
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.
20:25
Speaker 2: All right, we're off and running eight seven seven, seven,
20:27
Speaker 2: nine four one ninety seven three, and we did bury
20:31
Speaker 2: the lead because we got to talk about it because
20:33
Speaker 2: tomorrow in Milwaukee, in Wisconsin is going to be Cooper
20:36
Speaker 2: Pratt day. Oo talk about the ramifications of the Brewers
20:40
Speaker 2: apparently calling up their shortstop prospect. The eighty million dollar
20:43
Speaker 2: man is going to hit the big leagues in front
20:45
Speaker 2: of our very eyes at American Family Field this week.
20:48
Speaker 3: And meet the expectations, fellows, because I already got people
20:51
Speaker 3: asking what his stat lines are going to be.
20:53
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. We're ready for We're locked and loaded
20:55
Speaker 2: for a Monday. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
21:08
Speaker 2: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew billion Arma, bringing
21:11
Speaker 2: it to you from headquarters. First day of the week.
21:14
Speaker 2: We can we're you know, we're churning towards. We had
21:17
Speaker 2: Summer Fest starting in Milwaukee this week Thursday. We've got
21:21
Speaker 2: Brewers off day today, which is glorious. After a series
21:23
Speaker 2: win against the Phillies. Uh you know, they lost the
21:26
Speaker 2: second one and won the third against Sanchez, like m
21:29
Speaker 2: pretty sweet victory for the birth. Pretty good week. Cooper
21:32
Speaker 2: Pratt is on his way. There was a kind of
21:36
Speaker 2: ceremoniously removed from the field during the game yesterday in
21:40
Speaker 2: Nashville and heading up to get settled on an off
21:42
Speaker 2: day and find his apartment and stuff and as or
21:45
Speaker 2: a hotel as it may be, get the family ready,
21:47
Speaker 2: get him big league debut, and uh yeah.
21:50
Speaker 1: Well maybe somebody will let him.
21:52
Speaker 2: One of the Vets will let him live, you know,
21:53
Speaker 2: crash up my place, kid, get on in here.
21:55
Speaker 3: You got some time kid, well, but all start break,
21:58
Speaker 3: make sure you find something because I know what that page, the.
22:00
Speaker 2: Long awaited move will be made. Now, what's the offshoot?
22:05
Speaker 2: Ren Heefel got danged yesterday? Is he going on the il?
22:08
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be dfade? It's the first day I
22:12
Speaker 2: think that you can I think Tuesday might be the
22:14
Speaker 2: first day that you can trade free agents in there
22:16
Speaker 2: that you've acquired. So maybe there's something cooking. Who knows,
22:19
Speaker 2: but Cooper Pratt is coming up to take the mantle
22:22
Speaker 2: as the Brewer shortstop. And a cool moment yesterday in Nashville,
22:26
Speaker 2: Jeff him the play by play guy. He was on
22:29
Speaker 2: broadcast at cool social media moment. And we'll have something
22:32
Speaker 2: else now. Now we've talked a little bit about the
22:35
Speaker 2: coronation of champions with Caroline Hurricanes last night. The Knicks
22:39
Speaker 2: on Saturday, ending their fifty three year championship drought parties
22:43
Speaker 2: in New York like crazy, which was awesome. It was
22:46
Speaker 2: just it was kind of refreshing to see the next
22:48
Speaker 2: win after all these many years. And then it we'll
22:51
Speaker 2: get into a little bit later of all the teams
22:53
Speaker 2: that have had, you know, just incredible droughts.
22:56
Speaker 1: In the NBA, the Bucks.
22:57
Speaker 2: Ended, there's at fifty the Knicks were fifty three, and
22:59
Speaker 2: there's teams that have never won titles in that league.
23:02
Speaker 2: It's interesting dynamic because that's not when people think, well,
23:06
Speaker 2: baseball's got to have a salary cap. Well, you know,
23:10
Speaker 2: baseball has more diversity at the top and in terms
23:12
Speaker 2: of titles than a lot of other sports, including the NBA.
23:15
Speaker 1: And the NFL.
23:16
Speaker 3: You're right, I mean, like you think about teams that
23:18
Speaker 3: have been in as long as anybody. The Detroit Lions
23:21
Speaker 3: boys and girls have been playing football as long as anybody. Absolutely,
23:25
Speaker 3: they as close as they sniffed was having a third
23:27
Speaker 3: quarter lead in the title games. I mean, like there's
23:30
Speaker 3: a number and luckily we get to enjoy the basking
23:33
Speaker 3: the glow and dunk on two of them there.
23:35
Speaker 1: If I'm right, in the division, it is funny.
23:36
Speaker 4: I think sometimes the parody with champions happens on design
23:40
Speaker 4: and happens by accident, and sometimes I think it's just
23:43
Speaker 4: happened by accident.
23:44
Speaker 1: For these leagues as well. But hey, if it happens happening,
23:47
Speaker 1: it's happening.
23:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so five o'clock clubbers, you're welcome to
23:50
Speaker 2: hit us up on the nicolay lot dot com, talk
23:52
Speaker 2: at text, and you want to get your game balls
23:53
Speaker 2: and kicks the balls in early before you go about
23:56
Speaker 2: your morning routine.
23:57
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine three.
23:59
Speaker 2: Now, because we got the World Cup, the United States
24:02
Speaker 2: won Friday, that's off and running. We're transitioning that that's
24:06
Speaker 2: going to take more and more of the bandwidth, I
24:09
Speaker 2: think as it moves along.
24:10
Speaker 1: Because there's no hockey, there's no more basketball.
24:12
Speaker 2: We are expecting a resolution of some kind with Yannis
24:17
Speaker 2: very we got Cooper Pratt's debut. But Friday evening I
24:23
Speaker 2: received a text from a friend of mine and he said,
24:27
Speaker 2: in essence, goodbye Yannis, Hello mis Milwaukee has its new hero,
24:32
Speaker 2: Jacob Misrawski on Friday Night with Otherworldly. It seems like
24:35
Speaker 2: it was a month ago already, because that's the world
24:37
Speaker 2: we're in. But Friday night belonged to Miss the world
24:41
Speaker 2: of sports. We had obviously Tmosa beat Paraguay. That was great,
24:45
Speaker 2: but the NBA and NHL were dark, and Miss pretty
24:49
Speaker 2: much had the spotlight, the non World Cup spotlight to himself.
24:53
Speaker 2: With for me being there, I've been going to all
24:56
Speaker 2: the baseball games for a long time. That's the best
24:57
Speaker 2: pitch game I've ever seen. I think is more dominant
25:00
Speaker 2: and even than Carrie Wood's twenty strikeout game, which is
25:02
Speaker 2: people in Chicago now. I was I texted Hardcore because
25:06
Speaker 2: Hardercourt went to that game because he was collecting stuff
25:09
Speaker 2: for a feature, like a preview. I think maybe the
25:12
Speaker 2: Cubs were coming to town or something. He kind of
25:14
Speaker 2: went to that game on a win, like I'm gonna
25:15
Speaker 2: go down to Regular today, lo and Behold sat there
25:18
Speaker 2: and saw history, ended up pobabing a story for the paper.
25:20
Speaker 1: It's one of those lucky accidents. For sure.
25:22
Speaker 2: He was there, and I've been jealous of him being
25:24
Speaker 2: there because it was epic. It's a memorable twenty strikeout
25:27
Speaker 2: game for Carrie Wood at Regular Field, but I don't
25:29
Speaker 2: know that it was as dominant as miss throwing ninety
25:31
Speaker 2: seven pitches, complete game, uh not going to a three
25:34
Speaker 2: ball count, fifteen punch outs and no great defensive plays,
25:39
Speaker 2: nothing more than routine like the in the Phillies were
25:41
Speaker 2: completely overmatched. And again Carrie Wood had that slider that day,
25:47
Speaker 2: and you can watch I go back and watch the
25:48
Speaker 2: highlights and I can remember, I remember being around at
25:51
Speaker 2: that time and the aftermath and the reverberations of that game.
25:55
Speaker 2: But I still think, I still think what Miss did
25:58
Speaker 2: was more impressive.
25:59
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you cannot be more impressive.
26:01
Speaker 2: He was one swing away from having a perfect game,
26:04
Speaker 2: you know, with fifteen strikeouts and a bunch of pitches
26:06
Speaker 2: over one.
26:06
Speaker 1: Hundred and three miles an hour for the last part.
26:08
Speaker 3: Yes, and the other thing like you can have the
26:11
Speaker 3: slider that day, that's that's phenomenal, But when it's the fastball,
26:14
Speaker 3: it's the easiest one, and it's the easiest breeze one
26:17
Speaker 3: hundred plus miles an hour that we've ever seen.
26:20
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
26:21
Speaker 3: I also think Drew the other part of the dominance
26:24
Speaker 3: of it was the full store that surrounded him. And
26:28
Speaker 3: why the comparison in the Goodbye Yannis, Hello Miss we
26:32
Speaker 3: went from Buddy the Elf to Forrest Cump. That's right
26:35
Speaker 3: affectionately coined byrus manager. How about him putting out that
26:38
Speaker 3: meme that a buddy sent him. That was some beautiful work.
26:41
Speaker 1: Because you have you need.
26:43
Speaker 3: To have something that is that you can grab onto,
26:47
Speaker 3: and he's got a lot. He gives you a little
26:50
Speaker 3: bit almost every time. Another reason why people will will
26:54
Speaker 3: start to fall in love with him as the person
26:55
Speaker 3: because he's just as open and honest, as a little
26:58
Speaker 3: bit corny as he possibly can be. And that to
27:00
Speaker 3: be six foot seven and just seven geeky kid dominate folks,
27:04
Speaker 3: And you're right, a six foot seven geeky kid that
27:07
Speaker 3: you can protect at all costs. But he's also like, yeah,
27:10
Speaker 3: I do also remember everything that those guys said about
27:12
Speaker 3: me last year. Yeah, I do remember everything that everything
27:15
Speaker 3: that happened from that last year, and that is amazing.
27:19
Speaker 1: And I think that's the key one around here too.
27:21
Speaker 4: I mean, in these parts, the stars we love had
27:24
Speaker 4: that sort of like self deprecating, humble every man quality
27:28
Speaker 4: of when they first come up, the geekiness. You know,
27:31
Speaker 4: Yiannis had the smoothie thing and Mis had that thing.
27:33
Speaker 4: But then every now and then you see that glint
27:35
Speaker 4: of the eye of the tiger inside of them, which
27:37
Speaker 4: obviously you saw on Giannis and you see it from
27:39
Speaker 4: Mis when he says things like that. You see the
27:41
Speaker 4: competitive nature, you see how he's good in the big stage.
27:44
Speaker 4: So you know, deep down there's a fire that's burning.
27:46
Speaker 4: People love that we love that around here, and I
27:48
Speaker 4: think that's part of it, besides the performance, besides the
27:51
Speaker 4: other worldly things physically that they can do, it's that
27:56
Speaker 4: it's that personality as well that people can attach to
27:59
Speaker 4: that is not too There's no facade, you know, there's
28:02
Speaker 4: no there's no ego, there's no all these things. That's
28:05
Speaker 4: my word, like, there's nothing to detestable about the personality.
28:09
Speaker 4: It's the opposite, actually, and that's what people love as well.
28:12
Speaker 4: And uh that seeing it on display every fifth day,
28:17
Speaker 4: it's like most most pitchers can dream of one game
28:20
Speaker 4: the way Miz does it every game. It's the whole
28:22
Speaker 4: thing where the remarkable is starting to become unremarkable and
28:25
Speaker 4: it's just a sight to see and the fact that
28:28
Speaker 4: these ares, yeah exactly. I mean one of the most
28:30
Speaker 4: impressive games you'll ever see pitched. And we're saying that
28:33
Speaker 4: now every fifth start, which is awesome. And how about
28:35
Speaker 4: his Buddykyle Harrison last night helping Hi out in the
28:37
Speaker 4: sy Young race. That's what I thought about last night.
28:40
Speaker 4: Kyle's like, all right, I'm gonna go win this game.
28:41
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make sure my guys touch up Sanchez, give
28:44
Speaker 4: him an l not touch him up but longer than
28:46
Speaker 4: he you know, more runs, and.
28:47
Speaker 1: He's given up in seven starts.
28:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, if Kyle Harrison and you can do with it.
28:50
Speaker 3: How about his buddy Blake, Purple Blake as well with
28:52
Speaker 3: the hey, if you got one good one Blake. Apparently
28:55
Speaker 3: it's the greatest kryptonite that Christopher Sanchez is ever seven
28:59
Speaker 3: of eight in his career, they said against them, But
29:02
Speaker 3: but drew to your point. I got to get back
29:04
Speaker 3: to this because you we can't gloss over you've seen
29:10
Speaker 3: two thousand baseball games the least. Yeah, we're well paper
29:15
Speaker 3: well in the four digits of the amount of baseball
29:17
Speaker 3: games you've seen. Indeed, the most dominant you've ever seen
29:20
Speaker 3: somebody on the mound was Friday Night.
29:23
Speaker 2: Yes, and I've seen Clemmens, I've seen Pedro, I've seen
29:26
Speaker 2: you know, Randy Johnson, that on the sheets eighteen strikeout
29:30
Speaker 2: game was great, but this was and that was like
29:33
Speaker 2: shadow ate it a little bit, but this was just
29:36
Speaker 2: in terms of just overmatching, making them look like they
29:39
Speaker 2: had no chance. And when he's on like that, like
29:42
Speaker 2: to throw a Maddox, you know, the complete game under
29:45
Speaker 2: one hundred pitches is freaky.
29:47
Speaker 1: But when he's on his game.
29:48
Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, no three ball counts, hardly
29:51
Speaker 2: any two ball counts because they had to just swing
29:53
Speaker 2: because he's pounding the strike zone, yes, with quality, borderline
29:57
Speaker 2: unhittable pitches, and you just like how you what do
30:02
Speaker 2: hitters do? Like Schwarber had a clean knock, thank god,
30:06
Speaker 2: that was it? Yes, that was it, and then was
30:08
Speaker 2: it race then was erased on a double play. So
30:12
Speaker 2: you face twenty seven batter the absolute minimum you can face.
30:15
Speaker 1: It's like it's the most.
30:17
Speaker 2: Dominant non No hitter of all time for sure, and
30:20
Speaker 2: he was one swing away from a perfect game, and
30:24
Speaker 2: I just I don't know how you can.
30:26
Speaker 3: And the crowd could feel like you could feel it
30:28
Speaker 3: on TV that the crowd was understanding just how how
30:32
Speaker 3: great he was. That pop when he comes out of
30:34
Speaker 3: the dugout uh for the ninth inning was chilling. Also
30:39
Speaker 3: called by Brewers TV to stay there throughout the break.
30:41
Speaker 3: That was phenomenal work.
30:43
Speaker 2: But absolutely and like again, like I saw Nolan Ryan
30:47
Speaker 2: and it reminds me of that as a youth, Like
30:49
Speaker 2: this guy's throwing so hard, like people can't catch up,
30:52
Speaker 2: and it's he's thrown so much harder than deeper into
30:55
Speaker 2: the game than everybody else. He's just a freak and
30:57
Speaker 2: it's just fun to watch, and people are starting to
30:59
Speaker 2: get it where they're starting to cheer him. You know,
31:01
Speaker 2: he's the kind of guy that you get there early
31:03
Speaker 2: and watch him walk out to the bullpen and give
31:04
Speaker 2: him an ovation.
31:05
Speaker 1: You want the whole walk experience. Yes, that's the whole thing.
31:08
Speaker 2: And then first pitch bomb like first two strike count
31:12
Speaker 2: go nuts in the first inning, Like people are starting
31:14
Speaker 2: to catch on to what it's like, and his starts
31:16
Speaker 2: will feel like a playoff game now again, CC Sabbathew
31:19
Speaker 2: was dominant. He should have had a no hitter in
31:21
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh probably. Uh, he was dominant during his run, but
31:25
Speaker 2: never that level of over man. And that's a good lineup.
31:29
Speaker 2: The Phillies are a good off, incredible lineup. There's some
31:32
Speaker 2: they took some ugly hacks. Man, they had some ugly,
31:35
Speaker 2: ugly hacks Like it was crazy.
31:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, you weren't just going up there against Carl Crawford's
31:40
Speaker 3: son for fifteen times. Who again, good luck to him.
31:43
Speaker 3: I felt bad for Port Johnn. He walked into that
31:46
Speaker 3: buzz so he caught it three times, but just about everybody,
31:48
Speaker 3: did you mention it? Schwarber had the clean hackers. He said,
31:51
Speaker 3: all right, he's thrown eighty percent fastballs. Time one up
31:56
Speaker 3: and see like he hit it and there he gets
31:58
Speaker 3: he gets a knock into right field, but the pounding
32:01
Speaker 3: of the strike zone drew. I don't know, And everybody
32:05
Speaker 3: can have a heater. This isn't just a good day
32:07
Speaker 3: for somebody to stumble into. He went from a year
32:10
Speaker 3: ago on the day when he walked in, Yeah, five
32:13
Speaker 3: no hit innings and walked for and there was a
32:16
Speaker 3: moment where like you could tell he would lose it
32:19
Speaker 3: and he would throw eight straight balls. There's nothing close
32:23
Speaker 3: to that. He went to a two ball count. I
32:25
Speaker 3: think Wishwarber the first time, which made it even more impressive.
32:28
Speaker 3: He threw like nineteen balls for the rest of the
32:31
Speaker 3: game throughout that time. Like it's one of the most
32:34
Speaker 3: dominating performances across the sport. But also just the way
32:38
Speaker 3: he went about it and the fashion in which he
32:41
Speaker 3: has commanded the mound that comes from just the numbers
32:46
Speaker 3: in the pulse that he's put on the wall is
32:48
Speaker 3: impressive enough, but he has taken so much confidence in
32:52
Speaker 3: one year that he's owning the mound.
32:54
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned Sabbathia. He came here.
32:56
Speaker 3: He was already runner up in cy Young and had
32:59
Speaker 3: been for six or seven years. You don't get to
33:02
Speaker 3: do that after thirty starts the way he has.
33:04
Speaker 2: I'm thinking that, Uh well, you know last year there
33:06
Speaker 2: was some hue and cry about him getting to the
33:09
Speaker 2: All Star Game and the Phillies were leading the charts
33:11
Speaker 2: because their guy got left off.
33:12
Speaker 1: Okay, but I don't how is he not starting the
33:17
Speaker 1: All Star Game?
33:18
Speaker 4: Right?
33:18
Speaker 1: He's going to start this year? He's up there.
33:20
Speaker 2: You'd think, I mean, Tony could, I mean, but I
33:23
Speaker 2: think it would let Otani be the d H. And
33:25
Speaker 2: you know, does does Otony need to pitch it? It's
33:27
Speaker 2: all going to come down to like when did they
33:29
Speaker 2: pitch last? And there might be a you know, wherever
33:31
Speaker 2: the rotations fall. But you make a case of miss
33:34
Speaker 2: is the starter because he's the show. He would What's
33:36
Speaker 2: what everybody wants to see. It's what everybody was talking
33:38
Speaker 2: about on Saturday and even Friday night into Saturday, Friday
33:42
Speaker 2: night on social and Saturday, just the buzz around Miz
33:45
Speaker 2: was incredible pact.
33:47
Speaker 1: Of what he can do physically.
33:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought I thought the same thing. Then,
33:51
Speaker 3: remember the All Star Game is in Philadelphia, so I
33:53
Speaker 3: don't know how much and Roberts will manage it or
33:57
Speaker 3: since he managed the last one, will they move it around.
33:59
Speaker 1: He's he's managing. But I think he did add maddingly.
34:02
Speaker 1: I think so.
34:02
Speaker 3: Like I think there's the the Otani one is always
34:05
Speaker 3: going to be a factor because for them to be
34:07
Speaker 3: able to say he's gonna start the All Star Game
34:09
Speaker 3: and lead off the game, that that spectacle is something
34:12
Speaker 3: that's gonna be tough to pass up. Sanchez also not
34:15
Speaker 3: starting the All Star Game in Philadelphia, I would be
34:17
Speaker 3: a little bit surprised about, but there's no doubt that
34:19
Speaker 3: he hasn't earned it. He's going to do it a
34:21
Speaker 3: number of different times, and he at the Potawatami Sports
34:24
Speaker 3: Book at least uh from the cy young candidacy has
34:29
Speaker 3: leap frog just about everybody and finds himself right now
34:33
Speaker 3: as the betting favorite, ahead of Sanchez, ahead of Skians,
34:35
Speaker 3: ahead of Otani, and Altani had a sub one e
34:39
Speaker 3: r A for the majority of the season.
34:40
Speaker 1: Pretty well, I mean, this is the year there aren't
34:42
Speaker 1: many like this that we have.
34:43
Speaker 4: An incredible amount of candidates for n Elsai Young that
34:46
Speaker 4: are shaping up. I mean, there's usually guys that are
34:48
Speaker 4: front runners, obviously, but you know, if you're talking about
34:52
Speaker 4: a situations where a scheme might schemes might be even
34:54
Speaker 4: like fifth, it's it's an incredible year. It's gonna be
34:56
Speaker 4: a great race. It's gonna be someone's gonna lose and
34:59
Speaker 4: win Cy Young this year in the NL. But one
35:01
Speaker 4: of the losers is gonna deserve it most years, so
35:03
Speaker 4: at least one.
35:04
Speaker 1: So it's pretty amazing to see.
35:05
Speaker 4: Really quick, we've got justin Debro sixty seven seventy good morning.
35:09
Speaker 4: Got to see him is on Friday in person. And
35:10
Speaker 4: if I get to see Pratt tomorrow in person, this
35:13
Speaker 4: will be Christmas in June. How about that? That would
35:15
Speaker 4: be a too good to Here you go, see right

Speaker 2: to join us later in the show, but let's go
36:37
Speaker 2: to a live report from our correspondent and our friend,
36:40
Speaker 2: Hunter Bombguard.
36:42
Speaker 5: Thanks guys. The Brewers going a series win over the
36:44
Speaker 5: Phillies over the weekend, a four nothing win yesterday afternoon,
36:48
Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison's six shutout innings. How about miss Rowski and
36:51
Speaker 5: Harrison combined in the series fifteen shutout innings without walking
36:56
Speaker 5: a batter. Just dominant performances on both days, and the
36:59
Speaker 5: Brewers got to Christopher Sanchez. Sanchez had not allowed more
37:02
Speaker 5: than two earned runs in his start since April twenty third.
37:04
Speaker 5: They got him for four, including a Jackson Curial home
37:07
Speaker 5: run in the first and then a three run home
37:09
Speaker 5: run by Blake Perkins in the fourth inning, his first
37:11
Speaker 5: home run of the season. BIRS manager Pat Murphy was
37:13
Speaker 5: very happy for him.
37:14
Speaker 6: It's he is grinding, he's hurting. It's it's been horrible
37:20
Speaker 6: for him, I'm sure, but he's been a great guy
37:23
Speaker 6: to everybody else. He's had a great attitude. And yeah,
37:27
Speaker 6: I went up to him in the middle of the
37:28
Speaker 6: game and just told him how happy I was for him.
37:32
Speaker 6: Truly happy. From my heart for a guy like that
37:35
Speaker 6: whose numbers look horrible and to come through for us
37:40
Speaker 6: once again.
37:41
Speaker 5: And that did a lot for Kyle Harrison, who of
37:44
Speaker 5: course was the starting pitcher. He said that home run
37:46
Speaker 5: in the first and the home run in the fourth
37:47
Speaker 5: gave him a boost on the mound.
37:49
Speaker 7: You're just lets you go out there and filled his
37:51
Speaker 7: own up, man, you know, let's you be free and
37:55
Speaker 7: let attack his own and yeah, but yeah, man, I'm
37:57
Speaker 7: trea swimming out him those like that was a great
38:00
Speaker 7: So anytime you get ahead on a team like that,
38:02
Speaker 7: you know, especially a good team that's rolling Island, Yeah,
38:05
Speaker 7: it was good.
38:05
Speaker 6: To lunch first.
38:06
Speaker 5: How about the boost that you know in the middle
38:08
Speaker 5: of your AUTI men, Perkins with the home run to
38:10
Speaker 5: give a little bit more separation.
38:11
Speaker 1: I'm sure that gives you a little bit more of
38:13
Speaker 1: a boost there. Two hundred percent.
38:14
Speaker 7: You know that that was a bicating I mean, what
38:16
Speaker 7: a day on a day from him, and I guess
38:18
Speaker 7: there's some previous numbers that he's he's done well.
38:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a good, good day for the Bets.
38:23
Speaker 5: So the Brewers are off today before hosting the Cleveland
38:26
Speaker 5: Guardians for a three game series coming up starting tomorrow night.
38:29
Speaker 5: Jose Ramirez, their star is out on the IL, so
38:33
Speaker 5: he will not be playing in this series. He was
38:34
Speaker 5: placed on the IL yesterday morning. And of course the
38:36
Speaker 5: big news Adam MCALVEVLV dot com reporting that Cooper Pratt,
38:40
Speaker 5: shortstop from the Nashville Sounds, expected to be called up
38:43
Speaker 5: to Milwaukee and probably make his debut coming up tomorrow night.
38:47
Speaker 5: So we're looking forward to that. This report brought to
38:49
Speaker 5: you by import Minded, your trusted joyce for Exceptional Vehicle
38:52
Speaker 5: Care on Sound twenty seven, just north of eight ninety four.
38:54
Speaker 5: I'll join you guys at seven twenty five to talk
38:56
Speaker 5: more about the crew.
38:57
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, Thank.
38:59
Speaker 3: You Hunter Bom, thank you import Minded, and thank you HOODI. Yeah,
39:03
Speaker 3: I was like, get a little Hoodie in there in
39:05
Speaker 3: the background. It's the rock out with Hunter the last
39:08
Speaker 3: part with Pratt going to make the debut coming up
39:11
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. It's a nice little jolt to the excitement
39:15
Speaker 3: because young players drew whether they come up and mashed
39:20
Speaker 3: for you know, a two eighty average and slug throughout
39:24
Speaker 3: hit a bunch of homers. I heard a yellich talking
39:27
Speaker 3: about it maybe a year or so ago and hear
39:30
Speaker 3: him talk about it. When Freelick came up, there was
39:33
Speaker 3: obviously the big pop. Now hard to have a better
39:35
Speaker 3: debut than sow Freelick did, right, Jackson Curio comes up
39:38
Speaker 3: and he hits five homers in his first month in
39:40
Speaker 3: the big leagues. There there's a different boost that young
39:43
Speaker 3: players can give in an energy, and whether or not
39:46
Speaker 3: he comes out and dominates, I think they are going
39:48
Speaker 3: to get at least a in the midst of the season,
39:51
Speaker 3: him getting to experience everything and bring along they have
39:55
Speaker 3: such a good culture. It appears that that energizes the
39:59
Speaker 3: group of veterans a lot little bit to see somebody young, fresh,
40:02
Speaker 3: just like mis was a year ago, go through and
40:04
Speaker 3: start dominating and find some success.
40:07
Speaker 1: Uh it in the midst of the season.
40:09
Speaker 3: They've done a great job of being able to bring
40:11
Speaker 3: guys along at the same time. And I think that,
40:13
Speaker 3: uh that little jolt of excitement was something new will
40:16
Speaker 3: be a welcome site for some of the veterans, even
40:19
Speaker 3: on the club.
40:20
Speaker 1: I agree.
40:20
Speaker 4: And we haven't even got to mention Jackson yet. He's
40:22
Speaker 4: been so hot lately. What a weekend for him?
40:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, to hit two and on Saturday and another one yesterday.
40:29
Speaker 2: Get things going, and he's up to nine homers already.
40:31
Speaker 1: He's finding it.
40:32
Speaker 2: And it's funny because here's Jackson Churio hot. Meanwhile, here
40:37
Speaker 2: among the tired strip club ads, Bryce terrang is the
40:39
Speaker 2: mayor of Slump.
40:40
Speaker 1: City once again.
40:41
Speaker 2: Yet so one guy goes, one guy who was hot
40:44
Speaker 2: is now not and the guy who was not now hot.
40:47
Speaker 1: You gotta pick each other up though. That's what it's.
40:49
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
40:50
Speaker 2: But that's the season, and that's the thing, like it
40:52
Speaker 2: would be. Well, imagine if they get everybody hot at
40:54
Speaker 2: the same time. That never happens.
40:55
Speaker 3: Let's just get that one time in October, because that
40:58
Speaker 3: that luckily d up happening for the Dodgers a year ago.
41:02
Speaker 1: But they're also hot.
41:03
Speaker 3: Talking text line, David Kimberly, thanks for starting up at
41:05
Speaker 3: five am. I start work every day at four point
41:07
Speaker 3: thirty and I've always hated waiting until six for live
41:10
Speaker 3: sports talk. You guys are doing a great job. Keep
41:12
Speaker 3: up the good work. Let's go Dave from Kimberly. Now
41:14
Speaker 3: you keep up the work early on. We're here for
41:16
Speaker 3: all of you throughout the day.
41:18
Speaker 2: But then James James came at us and said Knicks
41:21
Speaker 2: are the model franchise. After one win. This is where
41:23
Speaker 2: I changed the radio station too early to be listening
41:25
Speaker 2: to nonsense. Who called the Knicks the model I don't
41:27
Speaker 2: remember any of us called listen to a different show.
41:29
Speaker 1: Cool.
41:29
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson might be the Model superstar. I think that
41:32
Speaker 3: was what he heard saying. No one said they're run
41:35
Speaker 3: by James Dolan. He changed the channels, But the model
41:39
Speaker 3: franchise all right? The fun starts Game Balls and Kicks
41:43
Speaker 3: next year. In huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
