Speaker 2: the deuces. Yeah right, number twenty two, the scuffling designated
0:33
Speaker 2: here for your Milwaukee Brewers who hurt some boo birds
0:37
Speaker 2: last evening, the manager hurt some boo birds. In fact,
0:40
Speaker 2: Hunter bomb Guart again providing most of our content today.
0:43
Speaker 2: He should be we should probably we should probably buy
0:45
Speaker 2: him lunch today or give him the preferred parking spot.
0:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arman gave him some glazers. Glazier, there's a few
0:51
Speaker 1: left for you. Get some glaziers. There might be a
0:54
Speaker 1: crumb left.
0:54
Speaker 3: Uh.
0:55
Speaker 1: He's the star of stage screen, the stage screen.
0:57
Speaker 2: And the baseball pregame show and Milwaukee's Baseball Night as well.
1:01
Speaker 2: He was on the scene last eem. He just provided
1:03
Speaker 2: us with a one on one with Kyle Harrison. He
1:06
Speaker 2: gave us a recap of last night's four to two
1:07
Speaker 2: Brewers victory. And we have this sound from Pat Murphy
1:11
Speaker 2: regarding the Brewers slumping designated hitter Hunter, I mean a
1:15
Speaker 2: hunter Arman hit.
1:16
Speaker 1: That conversation, Yep, how did that go? Like always?
1:26
Speaker 3: El, he's a pro man Eley's he's our leader. He's
1:29
Speaker 3: a pro. He's not getting the results.
1:32
Speaker 1: No one.
1:33
Speaker 3: Let me just make this statement clearly, no one cares
1:36
Speaker 3: more about getting it right and about the Milwaukee Brewers
1:42
Speaker 3: upholding their standards that they have created for themselves, whether
1:45
Speaker 3: it's realistic or not in terms of what people see
1:48
Speaker 3: on paper. El, He's he's incredible. I respect him more
1:54
Speaker 3: now and I didn't think he could respect anybody anymore,
1:57
Speaker 3: but I respect that a lot of them. I didn't
2:01
Speaker 3: ask him if it was okay. I didn't ask him
2:02
Speaker 3: if it was you know, I just said, this is
2:05
Speaker 3: what I've decided, and it was only me, and you know,
2:11
Speaker 3: I didn't ask the coaches. I didn't ask anyone. I
2:13
Speaker 3: just said, hey, this is what we're doing. This is
2:15
Speaker 3: what's best for the team, and I think that he'll
2:19
Speaker 3: respond what tells you that it's time for that? What
2:24
Speaker 3: tells me or when is the time to do it?
2:30
Speaker 3: I think there comes a point where you know you wanna,
2:34
Speaker 3: you want something to change, you want something to spark,
2:36
Speaker 3: something you want you wanted a little different, uh direction,
2:40
Speaker 3: And sometimes you contemplate it for a while, and then
2:43
Speaker 3: there's a moment that happens and I I can't tell
2:45
Speaker 3: you exactly, but there's a moment that happens, and say
2:48
Speaker 3: I could tell you, but I'm that's too personal. But
2:53
Speaker 3: there's a moment that happens and you say, you know what,
2:56
Speaker 3: this is what's best for the club a lot of reasons.
2:59
Speaker 3: Someday I describe it to all of you if you're
3:04
Speaker 3: still interested, but you'll probably have moved on to.
3:08
Speaker 1: Kurt.
3:08
Speaker 3: Maybe not you, but a lot of the more well
3:10
Speaker 3: wronged people will have moved on to bigger and better things.
3:15
Speaker 4: What a beauty beautiful can't can't not finish it with
3:20
Speaker 4: at least a good dig. One of these days, he's
3:23
Speaker 4: gonna do that to the hundred. Yeah, that'd be way,
3:27
Speaker 4: that would be way too rude. Yeah, even even Murf
3:29
Speaker 4: can't go that low. Now the two personal might have
3:34
Speaker 4: been what we all think of. Usually our best thoughts
3:37
Speaker 4: come in the shower, right, that's right, it feels like
3:39
Speaker 4: shower thoughts for Murph, understandably, so he had said it,
3:43
Speaker 4: what maybe four weeks ago he was quoted as saying,
3:45
Speaker 4: what do you want me to do?
3:46
Speaker 1: Hit him seven? You know, made this to take the
3:49
Speaker 1: sea off his chest too?
3:50
Speaker 4: Right, Like you could tell that there was a moment
3:52
Speaker 4: where that he felt like that would have been degrading
3:56
Speaker 4: and humiliating to him. At some point, you are who
4:00
Speaker 4: you are, and this year, in twenty twenty six, maybe
4:03
Speaker 4: this is just who Yelich is and if you can
4:06
Speaker 4: spark anything, this might be the way to get it done.
4:09
Speaker 4: You could hear in Murph's voice that it was not
4:12
Speaker 4: an easy one to come to. But I don't know
4:15
Speaker 4: how you guys felt feels like he's really at peace
4:19
Speaker 4: with it, Like feels like he is very happy he
4:21
Speaker 4: finally was able to make the decision. And now it
4:25
Speaker 4: can only go up from here, right, because like, what
4:28
Speaker 4: are you gonna do?
4:28
Speaker 1: Hit him ninth again? You want to hit him underneath Hamilton? Whatever?
4:31
Speaker 4: Now now that you've dropped into seven, it is what
4:34
Speaker 4: it is that's you've been dropped down to.
4:36
Speaker 1: The bottom third of the order. You can mess around anywhere.
4:39
Speaker 4: But now it can be all good and all up
4:41
Speaker 4: from here to the point where it feels like he
4:43
Speaker 4: got away from the lowest and the one thing that
4:46
Speaker 4: not that you'd be fearing drew not the conversation that
4:49
Speaker 4: you're like shaking in your boots to have with your
4:51
Speaker 4: boss that you know is not gonna go well, but
4:53
Speaker 4: one that you just know is not going to be
4:55
Speaker 4: a comfortable conversation. And when somebody makes it an easier
4:59
Speaker 4: conversation than the uncomfortable one that it already is. Uh,
5:03
Speaker 4: it can be a little bit of a burden to
5:06
Speaker 4: relieve you. And it also feels like maybe you talk
5:08
Speaker 4: about jolten something. It wasn't just jolting Yelich. Maybe it
5:12
Speaker 4: was more jolt in the team if he felt like
5:14
Speaker 4: they were in a little bit of a schooble slump.
5:17
Speaker 1: Uh.
5:17
Speaker 2: Yelich is hitting one seventy nine since the break.
5:21
Speaker 5: That's not positive, and he's registered in negative war now
5:24
Speaker 5: officially yesterday for the first time in his career. Like
5:27
Speaker 5: if this season ended today, I think he's a negative
5:29
Speaker 5: point one. So he's just below replacement level right now
5:32
Speaker 5: in terms of what his contributions are, which obviously he's
5:35
Speaker 5: never done.
5:35
Speaker 1: He's usually hovering around three for the season when when
5:38
Speaker 1: it ends.
5:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's hitting his average right now, it's two thirty one.
5:44
Speaker 2: He hits better with runners in scoring position, and he's
5:46
Speaker 2: like one of the still one of the first highest
5:48
Speaker 2: averages in Layton close situations.
5:50
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
5:51
Speaker 1: But he can't find it now again, like I when
5:55
Speaker 1: it's like.
5:55
Speaker 2: Drop him on the lineup, he's killing you. Get him
5:57
Speaker 2: out of the top of the lineup. The lineup finds you,
5:58
Speaker 2: Joey Ortiz basis loaded. It finds you like it's going
6:03
Speaker 2: when you're in a helm.
6:04
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're.
6:05
Speaker 2: Always gonna be up with you know, two outs and
6:07
Speaker 2: two on and like it's just it's gonna find you.
6:09
Speaker 2: Like okay. In theory, yes, if he's breaking up. You
6:13
Speaker 2: want your best hitters and your productive guys in a cluster,
6:16
Speaker 2: you know, and wherever they are. You want them like
6:18
Speaker 2: three or four guys in a bunch so you can
6:20
Speaker 2: get some action going. And when the Brewers, with their
6:23
Speaker 2: lack of home run hitting, it's imperative that you get
6:26
Speaker 2: that because sprinkle in a walk or two, put the
6:29
Speaker 2: ball in play. Maybe something happens in error there. They're
6:31
Speaker 2: good at taking extra bases and stuff. That's the way
6:34
Speaker 2: they roll, right. And so having a guy who's you know,
6:37
Speaker 2: basically right now and out, which Yelich is, you know,
6:40
Speaker 2: he was he Oerver twelve and he's it's been.
6:42
Speaker 1: He just is just wandering in the desert.
6:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's trying to He looks like he's changed
6:46
Speaker 4: his stands up a little bit. Looks like he's trying
6:48
Speaker 4: a couple of different things that are more noticeable Drew,
6:51
Speaker 4: but he is.
6:52
Speaker 1: He is grasping at some straws.
6:54
Speaker 5: I have a question, you know, when Murphy says something
6:56
Speaker 5: like what do you want me to do about him
6:57
Speaker 5: the seventh? Does he feel like to you? And he
7:00
Speaker 5: didn't say it last night, but doesn't he feel like
7:02
Speaker 5: to like one of the few guys that that question
7:04
Speaker 5: is only like seventy five percent rhetorical, Like he's almost wondering,
7:07
Speaker 5: what do you guys think I should do? Like he's
7:08
Speaker 5: thinking out loud, So maybe he was considering it more
7:11
Speaker 5: than he thought. But I think it's the idea that
7:13
Speaker 5: you want to change something to see if you can
7:15
Speaker 5: spark it again.
7:17
Speaker 1: My recipe put him in the outfield. I don't I
7:19
Speaker 1: don't mind that idea at all. I've don't play the
7:20
Speaker 1: outfield like the Lechurio DH.
7:22
Speaker 2: Get him a day off his legs, you know, and
7:24
Speaker 2: then let let yellt's just give him something else to
7:27
Speaker 2: focus on.
7:27
Speaker 1: That's that's just me, and I'm an idiot. I don't
7:29
Speaker 1: know what the hell I'm talking about.
7:31
Speaker 4: No, but I mean because because last year it definitely
7:33
Speaker 4: did spark something. I don't know, Drew how much of
7:36
Speaker 4: it is health related? Like has he been told have
7:39
Speaker 4: you been told that you can't blame in the outfield,
7:41
Speaker 4: like if you've been told that you pretty much can't
7:43
Speaker 4: do it because of the back and the latest surgery,
7:46
Speaker 4: Because has he played that game out there yet this year?
7:49
Speaker 4: Maybe one or two, but a year ago, and I
7:52
Speaker 4: think going into spring training again, the Hunter would be
7:55
Speaker 4: able to correct me on all the timings of this.
7:58
Speaker 4: It was two years ago when Quinton Berry was here,
8:01
Speaker 4: when he did the dedication to I am going to
8:04
Speaker 4: be an outfielder again. I'm sick and damn tired of
8:06
Speaker 4: getting taken out late in games defensively because I can't
8:10
Speaker 4: field he's like, I'm not doing that anymore, worked at it,
8:13
Speaker 4: and again he's not going to become the Gold Glover
8:16
Speaker 4: that he won time won in Miami, but at least
8:19
Speaker 4: he was serviceable, to say the least out there. I
8:23
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if they would try it. The only
8:26
Speaker 4: thing is it would be at least a little bit
8:28
Speaker 4: of a boost to know that it's not a health problem, right,
8:32
Speaker 4: like that he could health wise go on out there
8:34
Speaker 4: and do it. And maybe it does jolt something because
8:37
Speaker 4: as much as you don't want to sit there and sulk,
8:40
Speaker 4: it's hard not to want.
8:41
Speaker 1: It's the only thing you do.
8:42
Speaker 5: And also because I think with the health part of it,
8:45
Speaker 5: in the back of my my own he struggles, it's
8:47
Speaker 5: used to usually healthy, like it's usually because he.
8:50
Speaker 1: Wasn't healthy the last four years.
8:52
Speaker 5: Like the times he didn't struggle because the back was
8:54
Speaker 5: bothering him, we just didn't know it yet.
8:56
Speaker 1: So I've kind of been wondering that too. But that's
8:58
Speaker 1: a good point, Billy.
8:59
Speaker 5: It's almost funny though, what if it work, Like what
9:00
Speaker 5: if you put him in left he gets some hits.
9:03
Speaker 2: He's played two games in left field this year, one start,
9:06
Speaker 2: he's played eleven innings of left field.
9:10
Speaker 5: What if it works, and then what do you do
9:12
Speaker 5: keep on the left? No, I mean you mess around
9:15
Speaker 5: with mess around with it, right. And the thing is,
9:18
Speaker 5: there's also one thing, you know. It's funny to me,
9:20
Speaker 5: is is the Brewers are the only team that never
9:23
Speaker 5: designated an official captain. But the Brewers always refer to
9:26
Speaker 5: him as a cat like you said the seat patchop. Well,
9:28
Speaker 5: he's never had one. Levering always calls him the captain.
9:31
Speaker 5: Maybe they should, Maybe they should give him that vote
9:34
Speaker 5: of confidence, give him the official captain's designation for the
9:37
Speaker 5: first time in Brewis history.
9:38
Speaker 1: Put the seat on his patch and.
9:39
Speaker 5: See if that like, hey, you know what we're affirming
9:42
Speaker 5: you is our guy still all right? So don't even
9:44
Speaker 5: worry about it anymore? Who knows. It's just the thought
9:46
Speaker 5: in the back of my mind, because the thing is like,
9:48
Speaker 5: what can you change? What can you do differently than
9:50
Speaker 5: to spark it on or off the field. It's just
9:53
Speaker 5: a thought. I had to or so much our thoughts.
9:54
Speaker 1: When I watched Yea.
9:56
Speaker 2: The two quotes resonate from the past one conversation I
10:00
Speaker 2: with Robin you out when he said, if you play
10:01
Speaker 2: a long time in this game, there's going to be
10:04
Speaker 2: long chunks where you just suck, especially if you play
10:08
Speaker 2: twenty years, like you're gonna have months where you're just bad.
10:11
Speaker 2: Yelis is in his fourteenth season and he's going through
10:14
Speaker 2: like an extended period where he sucks and he knows it,
10:17
Speaker 2: and he's he's talked about it, and you know, he's
10:20
Speaker 2: he's had you know, two weeks where he sucked and
10:22
Speaker 2: he's had time, but he's sucked for a long time.
10:24
Speaker 1: It's an extended period.
10:25
Speaker 2: It's an extended period, which is again part of playing
10:27
Speaker 2: a long time, okay, and then how do you work
10:29
Speaker 2: your way out of it?
10:30
Speaker 1: And when you get out of the desert, what's it like? Then?
10:32
Speaker 2: The other quote that I is ned Yost telling me
10:35
Speaker 2: what Bobby Cox taught him is like, when you get
10:37
Speaker 2: to a point where you can't stand watching a guy anymore,
10:39
Speaker 2: give him another week or ten days because it's baseball,
10:43
Speaker 2: and they'll keep they'll eventually do what they normally do.
10:46
Speaker 1: And he's like, you just ride the slumpstar part of
10:48
Speaker 1: the game.
10:48
Speaker 2: And then again like get him out of there, like
10:51
Speaker 2: some of Derek Whitewater Bayley, you know, benjhim right, let
10:54
Speaker 2: him ride the pine.
10:54
Speaker 1: Well, that'll help him break out, Yeah, I won't.
10:57
Speaker 2: That'll that'll definitely and eat them money and then play
11:00
Speaker 2: somebody else.
11:02
Speaker 1: That's you know.
11:02
Speaker 5: And I think when people say that they're worried about
11:04
Speaker 5: like the impact of the team, like that, we can't
11:07
Speaker 5: have this whole The Brewers can afford it right now,
11:10
Speaker 5: like like you want to that's what they need.
11:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, the number one them off the team.
11:14
Speaker 5: You want to keep winning games because you we have
11:16
Speaker 5: to make sure they get the Cubs at Bay and
11:18
Speaker 5: you want to tie and all that stuff.
11:20
Speaker 1: So it's not like the games don't matter if you've.
11:22
Speaker 2: Lost ten in a row and yeah, let's just struggle
11:24
Speaker 2: like this, and then you may be like thinking about
11:26
Speaker 2: making a change, like you're looking for anything to put
11:28
Speaker 2: the paddles to the whole operation.
11:29
Speaker 4: You're not dead, but you're not losing. Yeah, you can
11:32
Speaker 4: ride this out right right right, that's the point.
11:34
Speaker 2: And you can let him like if Brandon Wood, if
11:37
Speaker 2: were still healthy and he was in the road and
11:38
Speaker 2: he was struggling, like you have you keep lett.
11:41
Speaker 1: Running him out there.
11:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, you keep giving them chances figure it out somehow
11:45
Speaker 4: they sprote four months of chances.
11:47
Speaker 1: That's true, yeah, I mean at that point too.
11:50
Speaker 4: The other one is if there wasn't a time where
11:52
Speaker 4: you've seen him go from average to below average player
11:57
Speaker 4: and then be able to rock it back up into
11:59
Speaker 4: a highly productive players eat like the twenty twenty, twenty
12:03
Speaker 4: twenty one and start of twenty twenty two. We're kind
12:06
Speaker 4: of as bad as this. I mean, some of them
12:08
Speaker 4: may have been just as bad and maybe maybe a
12:09
Speaker 4: little bit better, but he was. He was a seven
12:13
Speaker 4: hundred ops player there for two two and a half
12:15
Speaker 4: years and then quickly balloons back up and makes another
12:19
Speaker 4: All Star team and my man got MVP votes a
12:22
Speaker 4: year ago. That's one of the strangest things that you
12:25
Speaker 4: would see. But I understand the frustration. Nobody's more frustrated though,
12:31
Speaker 4: and I know this doesn't help anybody. No one's more
12:33
Speaker 4: frustrated about than Yelich. So as difficult as it is
12:36
Speaker 4: and as mad as you are on the couture in
12:38
Speaker 4: section two twenty nine watching it, it's not helping anybody
12:43
Speaker 4: and definitely not him.
12:44
Speaker 1: Just I know it.
12:46
Speaker 4: You wouldn't feel better if he sat on the bench.
12:48
Speaker 4: But I think if that's the only thing that's gonna
12:50
Speaker 4: make it feel better. Then just stop watching his at bats.
12:54
Speaker 4: Then just go somewhere else and turn off the television
12:57
Speaker 4: when he hits, because he's.
12:58
Speaker 1: Gonna be there. He's probably true.
13:00
Speaker 4: If they play seven games in the week, maybe he's
13:02
Speaker 4: gonna play five. But it's not all of a sudden
13:04
Speaker 4: where he's just gonna be relegated to the Matt Stairs
13:06
Speaker 4: pinch hit role.
13:08
Speaker 1: Yep.
13:08
Speaker 5: It is funny because when you talk about it that way, Billy,
13:11
Speaker 5: you do think back to and it feels doesn't feel
13:14
Speaker 5: as long as ago as it is, but it was
13:16
Speaker 5: that long ago, like after COVID that's when he first
13:18
Speaker 5: since his MVP years, had those kind of struggles because
13:21
Speaker 5: we were expected, we were expecting that certain level of play,
13:25
Speaker 5: and he was getting litigated by the fan base every day.
13:28
Speaker 5: Every single day. Yellich was trending. I remember this, like
13:31
Speaker 5: every at bat, everyone's like Yelich. Oh, he looked like
13:34
Speaker 5: he swung and miss again, Like it was so much
13:37
Speaker 5: to endure that he had to overcome eventually. And he
13:39
Speaker 5: did have a few really good years. Last year almost
13:41
Speaker 5: had thirty homers. I mean, think about all that he
13:44
Speaker 5: went through to all to have a power search like
13:45
Speaker 5: he did again last year. So I think that's part
13:48
Speaker 5: of it too, is like you had hope that you know,
13:51
Speaker 5: you can continue to get this level of play from
13:53
Speaker 5: Yelich forever and ever. In the first time you don't,
13:55
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, well, now this is a problem.
13:57
Speaker 5: But it had been such a standard for a long time,
14:00
Speaker 5: and he's shown you many times he's come back out
14:02
Speaker 5: of it. So I still think there's a streak in him,
14:05
Speaker 5: a hot streak. There's a couple of months where we're
14:07
Speaker 5: a better play is bound to come, and I think
14:09
Speaker 5: we're about to get it. I hope at least, And
14:11
Speaker 5: maybe that's hoping gets hope, but we'll see, and who knows,
14:15
Speaker 5: maybe this is the year where he has the best
14:17
Speaker 5: playoffs of his life and we can hope because that's
14:19
Speaker 5: been the kind.
14:20
Speaker 1: Of the struggle with it too. So but I don't know.
14:23
Speaker 5: You know, the whole question about it and the hot
14:24
Speaker 5: takes started with the booing and things like that. You
14:27
Speaker 5: can do whatever you want as a fan, but I
14:29
Speaker 5: will and we Billy always jokes about this.
14:31
Speaker 1: I like to tell you how to fan.
14:32
Speaker 5: Sometimes I don't think it's gonna help in the boot
14:34
Speaker 5: and when Pat saying go out and give him some encouragement.
14:37
Speaker 5: I think that does go a long way sometimes, so
14:39
Speaker 5: I don't hope it's a stand Here, here's Derek from Whitewater.
14:42
Speaker 5: This is a good take it.
14:42
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Let's go. Yeah, he hasn't done anything.
14:44
Speaker 2: Yelich hasn't done anything years ever since he attacked a
14:47
Speaker 2: fan by the name of Roxanne. Then the stadium played
14:49
Speaker 2: the song, comparing Roxanne to a prostitute.
14:51
Speaker 1: When Yelich came up to back, come on, Derek here.
14:55
Speaker 1: You don't believe they hit.
14:56
Speaker 2: Twenty nine homers and drove in one hundred and three.
14:58
Speaker 1: But he hasn't done anything. Think Derek, that was last year.
15:01
Speaker 1: Like you're just im just tapping the cage.
15:03
Speaker 4: You don't even attacked a fan, attacked family, relaxed rocks.
15:08
Speaker 5: I will say that had to feel good to type.
15:10
Speaker 5: I'm sure even Roxanne loved that. Wherever she was, everyone
15:12
Speaker 5: thought that was funny. That was a funny moment, and
15:15
Speaker 5: that he didn't put the song run.
15:17
Speaker 1: He wrote relaxed Rocks.
15:18
Speaker 5: Hanne on an internet tweet, he didn't attack any buddy, okay, and.
15:21
Speaker 2: Attack anybody relax Yeah, and again like relax, Rocks going
15:25
Speaker 2: through it.
15:26
Speaker 4: He's going through it. I just attacked a listener. Yeah,
15:29
Speaker 4: relaxed Derek.
15:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, relax Derek, like Derek, come on.
15:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:33
Speaker 2: He hasn't done anything except for well, like, other than
15:35
Speaker 2: last year when he had, you know, pretty good season.
15:38
Speaker 5: Put up the numbers twenty nine and one hundred and three. Right,
15:42
Speaker 5: the songs about a prostitute. I never knew that what rocksand.
15:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I said, you just want to party,
15:48
Speaker 2: you don't have to sell your body to the knight.
15:50
Speaker 1: I never looked at that.
15:51
Speaker 2: I never looked at you don't have to put on
15:53
Speaker 2: the red lights. You've never heard the song.
15:56
Speaker 4: I never I heard the song. I never listened to
15:58
Speaker 4: lyrics in my life. Oh my god, Arman red Light.
16:02
Speaker 4: I think I remember that from rock band?
16:03
Speaker 1: Was that?
16:04
Speaker 4: Was that guitar herold Billy. I'm sorry I didn't even
16:07
Speaker 4: realize until right now it was about a prostitute.
16:10
Speaker 2: The first the first lyric Rocks ad you don't have
16:13
Speaker 2: to put on the red light.
16:14
Speaker 1: Those days are over.
16:15
Speaker 2: You don't have to sell your body to the nights.
16:18
Speaker 1: That's about a prostitute.
16:19
Speaker 4: No way, arm Way, don't play the whistle song by

Speaker 2: Wear that dress tonight, walk the streets for money. You
16:28
Speaker 2: don't care if it's wrong or if it's right. Pretty obviously,
16:31
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious.
16:31
Speaker 1: Arman. Well, I never My point is, I never actually
16:34
Speaker 1: listened to the lyrics. Are at a party in the hills.

Speaker 4: you just how I feel. I won't trade with another boy.
16:46
Speaker 5: I know.
16:47
Speaker 1: My mind is way out. Sorry, that's kind of sad
16:51
Speaker 1: when you think about it.
16:52
Speaker 5: All right, all right, now we know. Now we know
16:56
Speaker 5: about Rocksanne. No, that's great because, oh my god.
17:00
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, the village people were just guys
17:04
Speaker 2: who like to dress up, hang out together, and they
17:11
Speaker 2: like working out at the YMCA.
17:14
Speaker 4: You can get a good meal, though, get yourself clean,
17:19
Speaker 4: get yourself clean. Oh man, you're the best serious Okay,

17:42
Speaker 2: seven nine, three scott Dolphins coming in. We've got glaziers.
17:46
Speaker 2: At least Army brought some glaziers for us. Armin's the
17:49
Speaker 2: Billy Mumprey of the program, the cockeye optimist. He's sure
17:52
Speaker 2: that Yelich is gonna break out. What do you say,
17:55
Speaker 2: all right about yellichin what can you do?
17:58
Speaker 1: Like again?
17:59
Speaker 2: You got to keep playing him or now because he's
18:01
Speaker 2: part of the blueprint, He's part of the DNA of
18:03
Speaker 2: this team and you're winning.
18:06
Speaker 1: You are winning. That is also winning.
18:08
Speaker 2: You have the best record in baseball, which allows you
18:10
Speaker 2: to let him find his way.
18:12
Speaker 1: And at any given.
18:14
Speaker 2: Time in a team, there's two or three guys that
18:16
Speaker 2: are the mayor of slump City. They're vying for the title,
18:18
Speaker 2: and then other guys are hot. Yeah, Curio has been cold.
18:21
Speaker 2: Last night, he was good. The Burrs won in large
18:23
Speaker 2: part because of Jackson Turio. At some point, Christian Yellons
18:26
Speaker 2: will help the Bers win again.
18:27
Speaker 4: Controller's for the last month has been very, very happy
18:30
Speaker 4: that there's a Christian Yelich in the lineup. Yeah, it
18:32
Speaker 4: keeps the eye away from his five point thirty oh
18:35
Speaker 4: ps and one seventy.
18:36
Speaker 1: Average exactly point exactly.
18:38
Speaker 2: Oh boy from the six o eight Arma, did you
18:40
Speaker 2: know the song center Field is about baseball?
18:45
Speaker 1: That's good. Dolph's next.
18:46
Speaker 2: We've reached halftime of both the Week and the program.
18:49
Speaker 2: You're in the Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin HI dot Com.
18:53
Speaker 2: Halftime of the Week, Halftime of the program. Scott Dolphin
18:55
Speaker 2: is our halftime correspondent. We just had a lighthearted moment, Dolph,
18:59
Speaker 2: because we were talking about Kristin Yellich and his slump,
19:01
Speaker 2: and one of our listeners said, it goes back to
19:03
Speaker 2: when he had that relaxed Roxanne moment when he his
19:07
Speaker 2: walk up song to Roxanne and Arman for the first
19:09
Speaker 2: time learned that that song is an ode to a prostitute.
19:11
Speaker 5: Never knew never note was about because I never listened
19:14
Speaker 5: to the lyrics really, And Jeffrey from Milwaukee on the
19:16
Speaker 5: text line says he agrees he didn't know either, because
19:19
Speaker 5: he could never understand the Roxanne.
19:21
Speaker 2: You don't have to put on the red light. Those
19:22
Speaker 2: days are over. You don't have to sell your body tonight.
19:24
Speaker 2: I don't know what he was talking about. I don't
19:27
Speaker 2: know what that means. Yeah, that's a detail. It's really veiled.
19:30
Speaker 2: But that's the police, right. So it was Sting singing
19:33
Speaker 2: during that time with the police. Thing was singing for
19:35
Speaker 2: the entire so he's in there the Police's rock and
19:38
Speaker 2: roll Hall of Fame careers.
19:39
Speaker 5: I like Sting a lot, all right, fields of Gold,
19:41
Speaker 5: all that. But he's singing that high false settle. You
19:44
Speaker 5: don't know what he's singing. You can't hear the lyrics.
19:46
Speaker 1: Stop. Oh my god, I'm.
19:47
Speaker 4: Been trying to use big words at six twenty seven
19:51
Speaker 4: on a Wednesday.
19:52
Speaker 1: Morning to walk yourself out of it.
19:54
Speaker 2: And Derek and Whywater said that like Yelich hasn't done
19:57
Speaker 2: anything since then. This happened when he was at the
19:58
Speaker 2: peak of his powers in two thous in nineteen he
20:00
Speaker 2: appeared in the ESPN the Body issue naked and she
20:03
Speaker 2: ripped him and ripped the She wrote a letter to
20:05
Speaker 2: that paper or something like ripping him. She put it
20:08
Speaker 2: on She put it on social and stuff, saying it
20:10
Speaker 2: was distasteful and he shouldn't have done it. It was
20:11
Speaker 2: I don't know, anti Christian, no pun intended or whatever.
20:14
Speaker 1: She didn't like that.
20:15
Speaker 2: He appeared due to He replied relaxed rocks head and
20:20
Speaker 2: then they played the walk up song of the Rocks
20:22
Speaker 2: aand and it was funny. And then a couple months
20:25
Speaker 2: later they exchanged holiday greetings like online and stuff. It
20:28
Speaker 2: was all right, it was very and you know, agree
20:31
Speaker 2: to disagree. But yeah, Yeallow's has done plenty since that.
20:33
Speaker 2: He did plenty last year, didn't he?
20:37
Speaker 1: And three.
20:39
Speaker 4: Pretty he had MVP boats. He had more MVP points
20:42
Speaker 4: than Bryce Terrang.
20:43
Speaker 1: Did a year ago.
20:44
Speaker 5: That's right, which was not right, but still I understand.
20:48
Speaker 1: Well, I just think it's funny.
20:49
Speaker 4: I mean, Bryce is gonna roll up and get a
20:51
Speaker 4: seven war this year, but that's not the point right now.
20:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, his defense is pretty pretty good. But in any event,
20:57
Speaker 2: Yellow's just struggling and we're, you know it, drop him
21:00
Speaker 2: in the lineup, bench him, and we're just trying to like, yeah, well,
21:03
Speaker 2: if only he was playing better, they might have the
21:05
Speaker 2: best record in oh never mind, Yeah.
21:08
Speaker 1: Good point. Uh.
21:10
Speaker 6: It was painful to watch him last night, especially on
21:12
Speaker 6: the one at bat where he was just fishing for
21:14
Speaker 6: everything that was you know, they knew what he was
21:15
Speaker 6: going to do. Everything was bending down into towards his
21:18
Speaker 6: his knees and he was swinging and missing a lot
21:21
Speaker 6: on every pitch.
21:22
Speaker 4: It was reminding me of Corey Hart trying to hit
21:23
Speaker 4: that loan outside. Just every single time that make six,
21:29
Speaker 4: you knew what was going to happen.
21:30
Speaker 1: And that's what we've been telling people.
21:32
Speaker 2: Dolph, like the squawking about the lineup and like drop
21:35
Speaker 2: him down in the lineup, and like don't you remember
21:36
Speaker 2: jeorr Te's bat and ninth and every day he'd come
21:38
Speaker 2: up with the basis loaded. The lineup finds you baseball
21:41
Speaker 2: is baseball. That the way it works. If you're going
21:44
Speaker 2: to strike out, it's like okay, Like, well, yeah, strikeouts
21:48
Speaker 2: are bad when there's nobody on base, but with the
21:51
Speaker 2: basic loaded, they're magnified.
21:52
Speaker 1: True, you've been around.
21:53
Speaker 6: These guys long enough, has there has has anybody ever
21:56
Speaker 6: told you something that has worked?
21:58
Speaker 2: Has there been Oh yeah, cut the head off a chicken. Yeah,
22:01
Speaker 2: just gonna say yeah, And that's basically yeah. It's like
22:05
Speaker 2: well and Hardcourt always said when the team's uh was struggling,
22:08
Speaker 2: you got to kick the crap out of somebody one
22:10
Speaker 2: to nothing. You need a well pitched game, and like
22:12
Speaker 2: that's how you got that's how you get out of
22:14
Speaker 2: an offensive slump. As a team, you win a one
22:15
Speaker 2: to nothing game. But it's antithetical, bit serious way and
22:20
Speaker 2: the way we the way the game is built, like
22:22
Speaker 2: we said yesterday, you can hit one hundred and nine
22:24
Speaker 2: off the bat right into the shortstops glove, or you
22:26
Speaker 2: can get squeezed to have your bat shattered into a
22:28
Speaker 2: thousand pieces and get a base hit.
22:30
Speaker 4: That there's it's that r reason well, and that part
22:34
Speaker 4: of it from Yelich. I think of last year when
22:36
Speaker 4: he has the the game with the Uker bat right
22:39
Speaker 4: and it hits the homer in the first at bat,
22:41
Speaker 4: and all he's laughing about is, yeah, you probably would
22:43
Speaker 4: have liked that one that I saw it off.
22:44
Speaker 1: Down the line for it would have liked because that's.
22:49
Speaker 4: Baseball, and and you're gonna find those.
22:51
Speaker 1: The games gonna fight it.
22:51
Speaker 4: That's why I like the defensive one because you can
22:54
Speaker 4: guarant damn t if they put him in left field
22:57
Speaker 4: two of the first three balls hit in the air
22:59
Speaker 4: going right to him of course, right like the ball's
23:01
Speaker 4: going to find you and try to get you into
23:03
Speaker 4: the game. It might be something to shock the system,
23:06
Speaker 4: work everything up and get yourself rolling. Like you said,
23:09
Speaker 4: also get a lather going. I mean there's only so
23:11
Speaker 4: many balls can hit the case.
23:12
Speaker 6: Similar to football, right, Billy, where you got to get
23:14
Speaker 6: your belt, not necessarily get your belt run, but one
23:16
Speaker 6: big smack to wake you up for sure, anything get
23:19
Speaker 6: the head cleared out.
23:19
Speaker 5: You're not good until you get one of those. Yeah,
23:21
Speaker 5: that's what Jim Kelly used to say. He didn't he
23:23
Speaker 5: wasn't into the game until he got he got hit. Yeah,
23:25
Speaker 5: and then he start to wake up.
23:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's it is. It's frustrating, but he's not
23:30
Speaker 2: the only guy.
23:30
Speaker 1: Something.
23:31
Speaker 2: They've had other guys, Like we said, contrall Turio until
23:33
Speaker 2: last night, Yeah, Churio till last How long it had
23:35
Speaker 2: been since Turio ated home run? It was the last
23:37
Speaker 2: fourth Yeah, it was on the fourth of July.
23:39
Speaker 1: Was the last one they ended up hitting.
23:40
Speaker 5: And the way and listen, this is the way I
23:42
Speaker 5: approach it. It's like, well, you were winning in the meantime,
23:45
Speaker 5: you had to. You're in great shape and those three
23:47
Speaker 5: are bound to hit, so you're about to get those
23:50
Speaker 5: guys spiking at the right time.
23:51
Speaker 1: That's the way I think of it. It's a positive
23:52
Speaker 1: way to look at it.
23:53
Speaker 6: Just when baby, you know, why not when you have
23:55
Speaker 6: Logan Henderson doing what he did last night, you can
23:57
Speaker 6: probably win with three or four runs, and Logan Henderson
24:01
Speaker 6: want to oh since the trade deadline, Derek Scooble.
24:04
Speaker 5: Oh and that one out. I think both went six
24:10
Speaker 5: innings tour and runs. But Schooble we hi Holble iris standard.
24:12
Speaker 5: So that's why I like lift him up on it.
24:14
Speaker 5: And he was wearing the blue Dodger uniform. I don't
24:16
Speaker 5: like it's all mess though.
24:17
Speaker 2: It's interesting because the Dodgers playing the Cubs. It's just
24:20
Speaker 2: so perfect that it was his Schoobl's first start for them,
24:23
Speaker 2: But like, who do you root.
24:24
Speaker 1: For in that? Because they first want to have the
24:26
Speaker 1: best record. You're you're root for the Dodgers and they
24:28
Speaker 1: want to themselves from the Cubs. Yeah, but you want
24:30
Speaker 1: to win the division, don't you? First? Inform?
24:32
Speaker 6: I mean, sure, it'd be great to have home field advantage,
24:34
Speaker 6: but it's still going to be the Dodgers, which you
24:36
Speaker 6: have a bigger cushion in the I guess you want
24:39
Speaker 6: to be topsh you want to be top two.
24:41
Speaker 1: That's the one. I definitely just want to be top two.
24:43
Speaker 4: But there is a part of me that to Doll's point,
24:46
Speaker 4: I almost don't want to have the home field because
24:48
Speaker 4: I want to steal one on the road and then
24:50
Speaker 4: not have to come back. And like that's where the
24:51
Speaker 4: two three two and baseball has been a little bit different.
24:53
Speaker 6: And with MS on the mount, you certainly have as
24:56
Speaker 6: good as anybody.
24:58
Speaker 5: It is funny though, because we were talking about that
25:00
Speaker 5: before the show. It's like the mental the duality, as
25:04
Speaker 5: Billy brought up, was a good point of Like my
25:07
Speaker 5: instinct was that you're against the Cups, so I was like.
25:09
Speaker 1: Man, they beat the Dodgers.
25:10
Speaker 5: But then it's like, maybe that's good, and that really
25:12
Speaker 5: the basis of that is where where have your expectation
25:16
Speaker 5: shifted as a Brewers fan? Because it used to be
25:18
Speaker 5: division was first and foremost, always on your mind first, right,
25:21
Speaker 5: and the rest would just take care of itself.
25:23
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that mental clubs.
25:25
Speaker 5: But now it's like, you know what, we won the division,
25:27
Speaker 5: Our sites are said on bigger things. We have to
25:29
Speaker 5: start thinking about bigger things than that would be what
25:31
Speaker 5: best home or home field or buy maybe home field,
25:34
Speaker 5: all those things.
25:35
Speaker 1: So it is pretty interesting because.
25:36
Speaker 4: The Cubs are putting the pressure on their arm and
25:38
Speaker 4: they're keeping the pressure on.
25:39
Speaker 1: That's why not.
25:40
Speaker 6: For me, it's always the Cubs are gonna be first priority.
25:42
Speaker 6: Keep them in the rear of your mirror, and they
25:44
Speaker 6: seem to, you know, be just kind of hanging back there.
25:46
Speaker 6: Brewer schedule coming up, they got to go to La
25:49
Speaker 6: and San Diego on the same road tracks.
25:51
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna be difficult.
25:52
Speaker 6: So yeah, keep that padding ahead of the Cubs, and
25:56
Speaker 6: I I brew for the Dodgers ten times out of
25:58
Speaker 6: ten against the Cubs.
25:59
Speaker 4: I think I think Levering had the best way of
26:01
Speaker 4: putting it last night to Mark when they were doing
26:04
Speaker 4: the interview, which also Markee brought some runs. We always
26:07
Speaker 4: loved that when the owner brings runs into the into
26:09
Speaker 4: the booth. He had said, He's like, could it just
26:11
Speaker 4: go like twenty five innings and then they have to
26:13
Speaker 4: suspend the game because of light and then all of
26:15
Speaker 4: a sudden some rain comes through and then they might
26:17
Speaker 4: have to just make it up in three weeks. That
26:18
Speaker 4: would be the best way of it happening. But I
26:21
Speaker 4: did cook up. My favorite dream scenario last night was
26:24
Speaker 4: Scooble get chased early lit up and then that brand
26:27
Speaker 4: newly rebuilt Cubs bullpen is the one that blows it.
26:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have been.
26:31
Speaker 4: That would have been sweet to be able to have
26:33
Speaker 4: everybody go home a little bit sad.
26:35
Speaker 1: Well, you know what that would be. And don't look now.
26:38
Speaker 5: I mean we had this persecution fantasy with the Dodgers
26:41
Speaker 5: being the Hall everything, but they've lost five in a row.
26:43
Speaker 1: So yeah, hey, maybe.
26:44
Speaker 5: There's the cushion we need for that, for that, for
26:47
Speaker 5: that buye. Although you gotta make sure you take care
26:49
Speaker 5: of your own business. And the Brewers had fastest the
26:51
Speaker 5: seventy wins in franchise history.
26:53
Speaker 6: Amazing, amazing with so many kids. I mean, this is
26:56
Speaker 6: a team getting a done. You see the stat they
26:58
Speaker 6: flashed last night. What seventy some RBIs by twenty kids
27:02
Speaker 6: that are twenty two and under.
27:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, are both doing their job.
27:07
Speaker 2: Hunter gave us an interview from Kyle Harrison and he
27:09
Speaker 2: turns twenty five next week. Wow, and he's on his
27:12
Speaker 2: third team in the big leagues and he's so he's
27:14
Speaker 2: been through a little bit, but still you feel like
27:16
Speaker 2: he's real young and just scratching the surface of how
27:18
Speaker 2: good he's gonna be. And then Logan Henderson's pitched what
27:23
Speaker 2: like fourteen fifteen games this year and never giving up
27:25
Speaker 2: more than three runs.
27:26
Speaker 1: That's pretty wild to have. That's the nuts.
27:28
Speaker 4: You could tell us more about the Cal Eldred run,
27:31
Speaker 4: but like he put they put up all the numbers
27:33
Speaker 4: up there of the guys that had just started their career,
27:35
Speaker 4: and Cal was the only one who started being better
27:37
Speaker 4: than that.
27:38
Speaker 1: He came up in ninety two and won like his
27:41
Speaker 1: verse eleven.
27:41
Speaker 2: Cal Cal was schemes like when he arrived, Okay, is
27:45
Speaker 2: this the Iowa kid throwing heaters?
27:46
Speaker 1: And like he was yeh. So he ever reached that
27:49
Speaker 1: run again, he was good. I think he did. He
27:52
Speaker 1: get a ring with the Cardinals late in his career.
27:54
Speaker 2: They they kind of blew him out, and he was
27:59
Speaker 2: he was kind of like a point guy and we
28:01
Speaker 2: better start counting pitches because they sure let him get
28:03
Speaker 2: like one hundred and forty.
28:05
Speaker 1: They just, yeah, they kind of blew him out. Like man,
28:09
Speaker 1: where was that?
28:09
Speaker 5: Finally a Pennant race for the first It was like
28:11
Speaker 5: back then you had you know, when the division was
28:13
Speaker 5: hard ninety two it's the Blue Jays, So they needed
28:15
Speaker 5: every bit of it at that point to go for it,
28:17
Speaker 5: and they tried.
28:17
Speaker 4: Maybe one of the things I probably shouldn't admit on
28:20
Speaker 4: the radio. I did not know who Cal Eldred was
28:22
Speaker 4: until I heard his name, uh in an episode of
28:26
Speaker 4: one of those great rerun Charms episodes that my mom
28:29
Speaker 4: would always make me watch. He was one of He
28:31
Speaker 4: was one of the he was one of the focal points.
28:33
Speaker 4: So yeah, there was they were. There was a Cal
28:35
Speaker 4: Eldred episode where Alyssa Milano has like a whole I
28:39
Speaker 4: can't remember the whole thing, but she like they almost
28:41
Speaker 4: was supposed to kill him, like it was a wild.
28:43
Speaker 1: Wild deal, wild deal.
28:46
Speaker 4: Listen, you wake up at five thirty in the morning
28:48
Speaker 4: and you watch that inside the NBA last night, T
28:51
Speaker 4: and T was gonna be on, and at some point
28:53
Speaker 4: I always lost the remote, so I watched a lot
28:55
Speaker 4: of those.
28:55
Speaker 1: That is nuts.
28:56
Speaker 5: Looks like he missed the World Series by one year,
28:57
Speaker 5: as it was two thousand and five with the Cardinals
29:00
Speaker 5: and they won to oh six oh I think that
29:02
Speaker 5: was their eighty three wins.
29:03
Speaker 2: So ninety three Elder threw two hundred and fifty eight
29:07
Speaker 2: innings across thirty six starts. Wow, And that wasn't just
29:11
Speaker 2: it wasn't just two hundred and fifty eight innings, like
29:13
Speaker 2: he had massive pitch counts, like massive.
29:16
Speaker 5: He faced one thousand and eighty seven batters that year,
29:18
Speaker 5: which led baseball.
29:20
Speaker 4: But he was really good those first few years. Yeah,
29:22
Speaker 4: he had that Teddy Garrett type run.
29:24
Speaker 6: That country hardball, as Rock used to say about him,
29:26
Speaker 6: And he's throwing that country hardball.
29:28
Speaker 1: He was nickname was corn poone group of says.
29:30
Speaker 4: And he had Wegman who was also a hard thrower
29:33
Speaker 4: on that team in ninety two, and then of course
29:36
Speaker 4: Navarro and Bosio, so they were all about having big
29:40
Speaker 4: hoss starting pitchers go long in games. Because the Brewers
29:43
Speaker 4: didn't have any home runs that year, if I remember,
29:45
Speaker 4: they were like the lea they had the least. It
29:47
Speaker 4: was like this team, the ninety two Brewers, like had
29:50
Speaker 4: the least amount of home runs or one of the
29:51
Speaker 4: least in the league, but had a really good year
29:53
Speaker 4: because they had all those all those great pitching performances.
29:56
Speaker 4: It is fun to see the old size of pitchers
29:59
Speaker 4: on the little Brewers two game. They have Pete Vukovic.
30:01
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a different one for the youth to
30:03
Speaker 4: be able to see the guys. I got cal Aldred's
30:06
Speaker 4: ninety three. This was he was ninety two. He came
30:08
Speaker 4: out and he was Gangbusters ninety three. He was still
30:10
Speaker 4: a stud, but the pitch counts. This is when they
30:12
Speaker 4: started keeping track.
30:13
Speaker 2: April in his fourth start, first starting through ninety seven pitches,
30:17
Speaker 2: then eighty four to ninety five, and then his fourth
30:19
Speaker 2: started season one twenty one. Then as we get into May,
30:24
Speaker 2: mid May, pitch count one forty three oh one, sixteen one, sixteen,
30:28
Speaker 2: one forty one, sixteen, one thirty four, one twelve, one
30:33
Speaker 2: oh three, you get into July in the dog days
30:35
Speaker 2: one twenty two, one twenty two, one twenty one, forty two,
30:39
Speaker 2: one thirty five.
30:40
Speaker 1: I mean this is crazy.
30:42
Speaker 2: One forty four, one forty nine UH August thirtieth, one
30:46
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty four pitches.
30:48
Speaker 4: This is like, this is like multiple starts going one
30:50
Speaker 4: hundred and forty plus.
30:52
Speaker 1: They would never do that.
30:53
Speaker 2: Moore heard of one hundred and thirty, one hundred and
30:55
Speaker 2: twenty seven in his final UH penultimate start in September,
30:59
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty two pitches, one hundred and nine.
31:01
Speaker 1: So he threw four thousand pitches in a year. Young
31:04
Speaker 1: throwing both into the double header.
31:06
Speaker 5: You know, Drew Phil Gardner didn't care that was his
31:08
Speaker 5: first year and he goes.
31:09
Speaker 2: We're well, no one, Yeah, they just they weren't. They
31:11
Speaker 2: weren't counting pitches that he is, Like he was one
31:14
Speaker 2: of the cautionary stuff, like we better not let this
31:16
Speaker 2: guy throw so many pitches and you know, he was
31:19
Speaker 2: deep in counts, struck guys out. But that was he
31:21
Speaker 2: was the guy that was like that turned the tide
31:24
Speaker 2: in the industry. They realized, well, we had this guy
31:27
Speaker 2: that with the golden arm and we kind of burned
31:28
Speaker 2: him out. Maybe maybe we ought to look at how
31:30
Speaker 2: we're using him. Now it's going the other way where
31:33
Speaker 2: they got high school kids that they stop at sixty
31:35
Speaker 2: pitches and the guys guys can't see the sixth inning anymore.
31:38
Speaker 6: Or the guy could be all world and sorry, you're
31:40
Speaker 6: not going to pitch in the playoffs were shuting down
31:41
Speaker 6: in September.
31:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting, it's absolutely wild. Yeah, that was the
31:45
Speaker 2: cautionary tale of cal Eldrid. I'm gonna watch them old
31:48
Speaker 2: cal Aldred games today.
31:49
Speaker 1: Man. I just knew he was because not too many
31:52
Speaker 1: Iowa guys go to the University of Iowa. Yeah. Yeah,
31:54
Speaker 1: and he's born and raised in that same area. Good dude.
31:57
Speaker 2: I had good interactions with Cal over the years. Iowa, nice, right, Iowa.
32:02
Speaker 1: What was his name?
32:02
Speaker 2: Corn dog with cornpone? Cornpone like fed cornpone.
32:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd be getting a cornpone coming up this weekend, mate, cornpone. Yeah.
32:11
Speaker 1: They might have wanted to stay fair. Okay, all right,
32:13
Speaker 1: Well geez, I didn't know what it was. I don't know, man,
32:16
Speaker 1: it's a family shot. I didn't know what cornpone. I
32:19
Speaker 1: didn't know what Rocks had meant.
32:20
Speaker 4: I don't know cornpone meant what your search history is
32:23
Speaker 4: looking like in the last listen call Aldred baseball reference.
32:26
Speaker 1: Don't worry you're.
32:27
Speaker 6: Speaking of stay fair. To see they announced the sporky winners.
32:29
Speaker 6: Are you gonna go get a beerya ball?
32:31
Speaker 1: Arming? What about that you read about that we read?
32:34
Speaker 4: We read off some of them looks good, that looks phenomenal.
32:38
Speaker 4: I'm always a favor to a little bit of the
32:41
Speaker 4: ice cream. As if there's a sport, it's got some
32:43
Speaker 4: ice cream. You're you're gonna struggle to not see me
32:46
Speaker 4: over there, But I'm gonna be checking that one.
32:48
Speaker 6: What you're feeling when they combined savory and sweet, because
32:51
Speaker 6: that happens a lot with these sports, so you'd get
32:53
Speaker 6: a you know, a mashed potato and roast beef Sunday.
32:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm there and I'm definitely giving it a shot.
32:59
Speaker 4: I think the uh, the interesting one and Drew mentioned
33:02
Speaker 4: is like when you start deep frying stuff that would melt.
33:05
Speaker 4: That's where I that's where I've never been great with,
33:07
Speaker 4: Like even the Snickers bar, the deep fried Snickers, that's
33:11
Speaker 4: that should be melting in the heat.
33:12
Speaker 1: I don't love exactly how it works, but I'll try it.
33:14
Speaker 6: S Porky's have gotten really creative over the last couple
33:17
Speaker 6: of years.
33:17
Speaker 1: For a while there, you.
33:18
Speaker 6: Know, you had the crispy cream cheeseburger stuff like that,
33:20
Speaker 6: which was okay. I remember when they I thought they
33:22
Speaker 6: would jump the shark when I think it was the
33:24
Speaker 6: Bud Pavilion had the deep fried beer. Yes, their their
33:28
Speaker 6: chins when they took the bit into boiling hot beer.
33:31
Speaker 1: Don't you wonder if we're ever going to run out
33:32
Speaker 1: of ideas? Yeah, of course I always wonder that.
33:35
Speaker 4: So it's like, I don't know, manpo It's twenty happens
33:38
Speaker 4: every day, story hits every day. Like that is where
33:42
Speaker 4: I sit back and like, how cooked could you get

Speaker 4: the call letters and everything.
38:52
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious those beat numbers, though, Drew.

38:58
Speaker 2: Lou deal with the Brewers to.
38:59
Speaker 1: Come back next year. Would you even want him?
39:01
Speaker 4: Like you, I think he's allowing himself to think about them,
39:03
Speaker 4: just the millions he's losing. That's a tough thing to
39:05
Speaker 4: think about. I don't know how you don't think it's
39:08
Speaker 4: gotta be. Yeah, at some point, it's got to creep
39:10
Speaker 4: into your mind. You're doing everything to push it out
39:12
Speaker 4: of your mind.
39:13
Speaker 5: Notsually the way he signed that team friendly contract to
39:15
Speaker 5: start his career, not that he didn't still get you know,
39:18
Speaker 5: it goes both ways, and he made money from him.
39:20
Speaker 1: He was the best bargain in baseball for a long
39:23
Speaker 1: Oh man.
39:23
Speaker 5: He probably thought, all right, my time is coming, to
39:25
Speaker 5: quote Scottie Pippen, And it might still be, but it
39:28
Speaker 5: might not be the time he thought.
39:29
Speaker 1: It was going to be because he's struggling this year.
39:31
Speaker 2: No doubt he's made like twenty three million in his career,
39:34
Speaker 2: which is what guys that pitched like he did the
39:37
Speaker 2: last four years of Milwaukee.
