0:19
Speaker 3: today on this Thursday, Yes Thursday, that feels like a Wednesday.
0:23
Speaker 3: We'll take it Thursday, closer to another glorious weekend, glorious day. Yesterday,
0:29
Speaker 3: Brewers beating the Cardinals to one in the game they
0:31
Speaker 3: had no business winning. We've been talking about that. It
0:34
Speaker 3: occurred to me that we forgot to get the Hunter's recap,
0:36
Speaker 3: so so kind let's get some accurate information in here.
0:40
Speaker 1: That'd be good.
0:41
Speaker 3: Let's lead off the six am hour with a recap
0:44
Speaker 3: from our baseball go to guy who's going to join
0:46
Speaker 3: us live at seven thirty and he's going to be
0:49
Speaker 3: hosting this evening Milwaukee's Baseball Tonight.
0:51
Speaker 4: And it's tech supporting me right now. So he's the guy,
0:54
Speaker 4: he's the man.
0:55
Speaker 3: Let's uh, let's take a listen to Hunter Bombard's recap
0:58
Speaker 3: with the proceedings as the Burers beat the car yesterday
1:00
Speaker 3: two to one.
1:01
Speaker 1: Thanks guys.
1:02
Speaker 5: It was a sweep of the Saint Louis Cardinals for
1:04
Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Brewers, as they get a two to one
1:06
Speaker 5: victory yesterday afternoon, their first sweep of the Cardinals at
1:09
Speaker 5: home since June of twenty eleven. The Brewers getting two
1:12
Speaker 5: runs in the eighth inning after they had been no
1:14
Speaker 5: hit by Dustin May through seven innings. Garrett Mitchell was
1:16
Speaker 5: the one to break up the no hitter. He's been
1:18
Speaker 5: key to the Brewer's success as of late. He's hitting
1:21
Speaker 5: three fifty seven over his last nine games with two
1:23
Speaker 5: home runs six runs driven in. He talked about what's
1:26
Speaker 5: been working for him at the plate.
1:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think I'm just trying to be
1:29
Speaker 6: aggressive at fastball on the top of his own really smart,
1:33
Speaker 6: I said, putting together team at batts. It's not really
1:36
Speaker 6: about just me and those situations. It's more like how
1:38
Speaker 6: can I pass the tip? The next guys been in
1:43
Speaker 6: good situations too, Like I said, It's like runners on base,
1:46
Speaker 6: and I feel pretty confident with the runners and on base,
1:50
Speaker 6: Like I think, I try to do less versus do more.
1:52
Speaker 6: I think sometimes when leading off in any or like
1:54
Speaker 6: with nobody on it sometimes can get a little quick,
1:57
Speaker 6: so that having guys on actually kind of down a
2:00
Speaker 6: little bit more.
2:01
Speaker 5: And after the game, Bruis manager Pat Murphy saying, Luis
2:03
Speaker 5: Ranhifo getting that bunt down in that eighth inning was
2:05
Speaker 5: such a key turn the tide in the entire stadium,
2:08
Speaker 5: and you could feel the momentum was on the Brewers side.
2:11
Speaker 5: And how about Yelly comes through yet again with a
2:13
Speaker 5: clutch hit to tie the game, and then a Mason
2:16
Speaker 5: win air allows the leading run to score.
2:18
Speaker 1: And how about Trevor McGill.
2:19
Speaker 5: Getting the save in the ninth inning as well. So
2:21
Speaker 5: the Brewers are now thirteen games over, five hundred to
2:23
Speaker 5: thirty three and twenty on the season. They'll head into
2:26
Speaker 5: Houston starting tomorrow with Coleman Crow on the mound. I'll
2:29
Speaker 5: have you from Milwaukee Baseball tonight, coming up six o'clock
2:32
Speaker 5: this evening, looking forward to it. We'll hear a lot
2:35
Speaker 5: of sound from yesterday's win and of course look ahead
2:37
Speaker 5: to the weekend in Houston for the team. And I
2:39
Speaker 5: also join you guys at seven twenty five to talk
2:41
Speaker 5: more about the Red Hot Crew. This report brought to
2:44

2:46
Speaker 5: care on Sound twenty seventh, just north of eight ninety four.
2:49
Speaker 3: Back to you guys, Well done, Hunter, Bomber Ponzer, well done,
2:53
Speaker 3: le Hunter will join us looking like a golfer too,
2:55
Speaker 3: And then Nike poll an hour and a half yeah
2:57
Speaker 3: from now eight seven seven, seven nine four one eighty
3:00
Speaker 3: three gets you to the Nicola a lot dot com
3:01
Speaker 3: talk and tech signs. So there were no dust ups yesterday,
3:04
Speaker 3: Bruce did sidestep what should have been a loss and
3:07
Speaker 3: they win two to one. That's one of those like
3:09
Speaker 3: good teams find a way good one to store.
3:13
Speaker 4: That's uh drew, That's that's grabbing those acorns, just digging
3:17
Speaker 4: into a burrow, into a hole. Throw them things in
3:19
Speaker 4: there and save them for another day, because there'll be
3:21
Speaker 4: a time when you want to call back.
3:22
Speaker 1: On getting one of those back.
3:24
Speaker 4: And you lose the one against uh San Diego a
3:27
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago where you would have had a
3:29
Speaker 4: perfect homestand right if you would have won that one,
3:32
Speaker 4: and then instead yesterday flips the scoreboard. Do you go
3:35
Speaker 4: in four and two on the homestand instead of three
3:36
Speaker 4: and three again?
3:38
Speaker 1: Is it a massive deal?
3:39
Speaker 4: Might not feel like it, but in the grand scheme
3:42
Speaker 4: of things, you try to steal them wins as much
3:44
Speaker 4: as possible, and it ends up they all count the same,
3:46
Speaker 4: and that one's going to be one that you remember
3:48
Speaker 4: for a little while as well as maybe this is
3:50
Speaker 4: more for other sports. It's one of those where you
3:53
Speaker 4: learn how to win another game and the bank it
3:56
Speaker 4: into the memory bank of all the different guys at
3:58
Speaker 4: the bottom of the order that flip the thing around
4:00
Speaker 4: to get it to Yelich. And sure you ought to
4:02
Speaker 4: be able to deliver the big hits, uh and and
4:04
Speaker 4: those are some of the most important ones when you
4:06
Speaker 4: get the contributions from the guys that you're not anticipating
4:08
Speaker 4: being able to grab.
4:09
Speaker 7: That is nice, Yeah, nice as he yell, just get
4:11
Speaker 7: that hit as well, because you mentioned it earlier in
4:13
Speaker 7: the show, Drew, and I think it's totally accurate. It
4:16
Speaker 7: would have been the loss of winning your sales, of
4:18
Speaker 7: not scoring with runners in the corners and Noah's would
4:20
Speaker 7: have been tough.
4:21
Speaker 1: So Yelch coming through it.
4:22
Speaker 7: The single there was big and then you get the
4:24
Speaker 7: gift with the air but uh as uh. You know,
4:27
Speaker 7: yel has that leadership as opposed to what some others
4:30
Speaker 7: think on on Twitter some burers for brewers.
4:33
Speaker 1: That's how you guys know. You guys saw that.
4:35
Speaker 3: Lu Croix, Yeah, Luke Croix t he had to weigh
4:38
Speaker 3: in and say, that's so it happens with the lack
4:39
Speaker 3: of veteran leadership.
4:40
Speaker 1: What are you talking about.
4:42
Speaker 4: That he's a little busy trying to bait Trevor Bauer
4:46
Speaker 4: into a conversation on online.
4:48
Speaker 7: It's an hot take when you see pipe on getting
4:50
Speaker 7: there and kind of shut it down. That was a
4:52
Speaker 7: sweet got in there that Pipe said that was pretty
4:54
Speaker 7: much just swinging to miss partner.
4:56
Speaker 1: So that made me smile a little bit. Pretty much
4:59
Speaker 1: shut him down.
5:00
Speaker 3: I problems having some uh had some uh you surgical
5:03
Speaker 3: procedure recently.
5:05
Speaker 1: I guess going in this week hopefully come on now
5:09
Speaker 1: get foot. So yeah, I don't want to mention that.
5:13
Speaker 7: Well, we'll get we'll make sure it's I don't want
5:15
Speaker 7: to mention anything on the air again, that might be wrong.
5:20
Speaker 1: Myself. You just let it slip in. Yeah, well I did.
5:23
Speaker 1: I did casually slip in three games for re rebate,
5:25
Speaker 1: which is not a fact.
5:27
Speaker 7: My apologies. I I got sentelled. There's been no suspension
5:31
Speaker 7: situation for your Reba that we've seen. Nope, nope.
5:33
Speaker 3: And we did talk about what prompted all of that
5:36
Speaker 3: and the grease ball stuff with the Cardinals thinking the
5:40
Speaker 3: Brewers were cheating or or going in and cheating beyond
5:42
Speaker 3: the pale, like you're not supposed to be relaying stuff.
5:44
Speaker 1: You know that openly. It happens all the.
5:47
Speaker 7: Time, resourcing signs, stealing maybe a little bit, yeah, but
5:49
Speaker 7: that's you know.
5:51
Speaker 1: What it is.
5:51
Speaker 7: Uh we have some texts in on the uh nikolay
5:54
Speaker 7: law dot com talking text line. Uh Dan and West
5:57
Speaker 7: Bend Brewers will win one hundred games. It's the lock
5:59
Speaker 7: of the year, lock of the century. How about that.
6:01
Speaker 7: I've never done that before, never have done that, thought
6:04
Speaker 7: they might last year. That would be quite magical getting that,
6:07
Speaker 7: you know. And again part of the thing last with
6:10
Speaker 7: last season, everything's colored by the fact that they got
6:13
Speaker 7: boat raced by the Dodgers.
6:15
Speaker 1: No whitewashing, that they got small. It looked, oh yeah,
6:17
Speaker 1: that's right there.
6:18
Speaker 3: But the Dodgers were a wagon and they would have
6:19
Speaker 3: beat anybody in that series in my humble estimation. But
6:22
Speaker 3: the thing was that the Brewers did win a playoff
6:24
Speaker 3: series that they don't get credit for because they won
6:25
Speaker 3: the series, they didn't have to play by having the
6:28
Speaker 3: best record. They got that round, So to me, that's
6:32
Speaker 3: a w And had you actually gone through a series
6:35
Speaker 3: and won that, it would have felt like they had
6:37
Speaker 3: more success than they did, would.
6:39
Speaker 4: Have felt like a longer run. That's a good point, Drew.
6:41
Speaker 4: And you also then would have gotten three more home games,
6:44
Speaker 4: which I think the Brewers business they might have enjoyed
6:47
Speaker 4: as well.
6:47
Speaker 1: But it was it was.
6:48
Speaker 4: It was a varsity against jav appearance in that Dodgers
6:52
Speaker 4: one does not mean the next one will have any
6:54
Speaker 4: uh the same field, just like none of the regular
6:58
Speaker 4: season games had any of that to do last time.
7:00
Speaker 3: The Bruise ran the table against the Dodger last year,
7:01
Speaker 3: but they took some stars out of them, and then
7:03
Speaker 3: they had a tougher time against Toronto. So it's just
7:05
Speaker 3: Wayne Larviz told us, it's not who you play, it's
7:08
Speaker 3: when you play them. And the Bruise played the Dodgers
7:09
Speaker 3: at the worst possible time, with Otani going insane and
7:13
Speaker 3: like this.
7:13
Speaker 4: And Yamamoto deciding that he was ultimately gonna be the
7:16
Speaker 4: best picture in the.
7:16
Speaker 1: Entire world exactly. So again, it was a snapshot.
7:19
Speaker 3: And that's not to say the brus couldn't beat the
7:21
Speaker 3: Dodgers in a playoff series in October. I mean they
7:25
Speaker 3: would be the underdogs and be somewhat of a surprise
7:27
Speaker 3: because the Dodgers are the Dodgers. But that doesn't mean
7:30
Speaker 3: you know, you give up well.
7:31
Speaker 4: And drew as bad as this sounds, and you don't
7:34
Speaker 4: wish injury upon anybody. Both team's got to be healthy
7:36
Speaker 4: when you get it right like and that is that
7:39
Speaker 4: is not that is not a guarantee for anybody. And
7:42
Speaker 4: just like last year into the playoffs, while we were
7:45
Speaker 4: being able to be bystanders on to the other side,
7:47
Speaker 4: worried about the Brewers and Cubs, Uh, you're seeing them.
7:51
Speaker 4: Just hammer the Philadelphia Phillies two games at home and
7:55
Speaker 4: then go and finish it off at Dodger Stadium to
7:58
Speaker 4: where the Phillies busted out their ultimately alternate uniforms. Just
8:00
Speaker 4: try to get a run across and try to get
8:02
Speaker 4: any vibes. Know, so they were freight training through a
8:04
Speaker 4: lot of teams. But you also don't necessarily know you
8:06
Speaker 4: have to get there right. You don't know that you
8:07
Speaker 4: have to play the Dodgers if that's the case. Armin
8:11
Speaker 4: likes to bring it up all the time of the
8:12
Speaker 4: ninety six Packers. Nobody takes it away from you that
8:15
Speaker 4: you didn't have to go to Dallas.
8:16
Speaker 1: Nobody.
8:17
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't matter that Dallas didn't have to come
8:19
Speaker 4: here for the NFC title games. Really, there's no guarantee
8:22
Speaker 4: that both teams are there at the end.
8:23
Speaker 7: And I was glad they didn't. I'll be honest with
8:25
Speaker 7: you now. I was eleven, but I was glad they didn't.
8:27
Speaker 7: I was like, we can't beat Dallas. We have never
8:28
Speaker 7: done in my life, so I don't want to see them. So, yeah,
8:32
Speaker 7: you don't know what's gonna happen.
8:33
Speaker 1: Lately.
8:33
Speaker 7: It has gone that way with the Dodgers in the
8:35
Speaker 7: playoffs Chalk, but they've also lost with a lot of
8:38
Speaker 7: really good teams.
8:39
Speaker 1: So you can't.
8:39
Speaker 7: You can't go into it saying we can't beat them.
8:41
Speaker 7: We haven't, therefore it will never happen. That's just not
8:43
Speaker 7: the way sports works. We've seen that time and time again.
8:47
Speaker 7: We did get a text from seven one five with
8:49
Speaker 7: the idea of maybe grabbing a school ball. I know
8:51
Speaker 7: we mentioned that guys a little bit. We kind of
8:53
Speaker 7: broached that subject in the first hour. How the Brewers
8:56
Speaker 7: construct their rosters throughout all facets of their tiers were
9:00
Speaker 7: they'll not be in the school Sweepstakes.
9:02
Speaker 1: It's just not worth it.
9:02
Speaker 7: Proof that one person doesn't get you across the finish line.
9:05
Speaker 7: Look at sec dominant, but didn't get us to the
9:07
Speaker 7: promised land. They need another Ashby type that can pitch
9:09
Speaker 7: in capacity slot multiple ways. Are bullpen gets taxed? Some
9:13
Speaker 7: truth in what he's saying, although I don't think that's
9:15
Speaker 7: the best example of CEC. I mean, they didn't maybe
9:17
Speaker 7: make the World Series, but the promised lamb was the playoffs,
9:20
Speaker 7: and he quite literally got them. I mean heragged this right,
9:23
Speaker 7: He dragged this whole franchise across the line. So yeah,
9:26
Speaker 7: but to his point, you know, I don't think we'll
9:28
Speaker 7: be in the school Sweepstakes, but maybe for other reasons
9:31
Speaker 7: that you pointed out, Billy, the price might be two
9:33
Speaker 7: Why boris all those deals?
9:34
Speaker 4: I also think like thee But I also think it's
9:37
Speaker 4: the player too, right, Like he's he's hurt at the moment,
9:40
Speaker 4: Like there's the situation of Boris obviously being the agent,
9:45
Speaker 4: but going into four hundred million dollars, Like that's the
9:48
Speaker 4: other thing that you have that is non comparable between
9:52
Speaker 4: the two. As people have pointed it out, they've done
9:55
Speaker 4: it before with CC. They just put them into the
9:57
Speaker 4: Walk of fame, and that's where a lot of the
9:59
Speaker 4: national conversation with it will persist. What did CC Sabbathia
10:03
Speaker 4: sign for the New York Yeah, he's I believe it
10:05
Speaker 4: was one hundred and sixty.
10:06
Speaker 1: Million something like that, one sixty one seventy because I think.
10:08
Speaker 7: The number was the rumor was that the Brewers could
10:11
Speaker 7: give him five years at one hundred. Now it's pretty
10:13
Speaker 7: much it. They couldn't get the school was gonna make
10:15
Speaker 7: over double that overdouble. It's just gonna be insane.
10:18
Speaker 4: So you think he's gonna make it so as as
10:20
Speaker 4: much as the dream and fantasy of him still, you know,
10:25
Speaker 4: being able to even you're not gonna see somebody ever
10:27
Speaker 4: go on three days rest eight times like Sabathia did
10:30
Speaker 4: at that point, even one time. There's a lot more
10:33
Speaker 4: situations that I think are gonna trend towards Horbin Burns
10:36
Speaker 4: saying I prefer to be on my regular rest guys,
10:38
Speaker 4: than what he's saying. I want the ball any single day,
10:41
Speaker 4: or I C C. Sapathia. I want the ball. I'm
10:43
Speaker 4: gonna pitch here, and I'm pitch here, and I'm gonna cheer.
10:46
Speaker 4: I'm a cheer here and here, and they're like, okay,
10:48
Speaker 4: sounds good, bub we appreciate it. Let us know if
10:51
Speaker 4: you need if you need a blow. The days of
10:53
Speaker 4: that are far, far gone drew. And it's simply because
10:57
Speaker 4: the mathematics are just way too different now, way different.
11:00
Speaker 7: I saw one projection at three fifty seven total. That's
11:03
Speaker 7: just a protection, but that's what the total money will be,
11:06
Speaker 7: almost one hundred million dollars more. It's just absolutely crazy.
11:09
Speaker 7: That's why I think a lot of times when you'll
11:11
Speaker 7: hear fans talk about what money guys make, and we're
11:13
Speaker 7: paying them this month, so we should perform. Speaking of
11:16
Speaker 7: a guy like Yellis for instance, right, this is a
11:17
Speaker 7: sliding scale. Yeallisch is the highest paid player of the Brewers,
11:20
Speaker 7: gets that contract, but it's still pales in comparison to
11:23
Speaker 7: most of the biggest contracts in baseball. It pales in comparison,
11:26
Speaker 7: So it is a sliding scale. I know for us,
11:29
Speaker 7: you know, regular yeomans, it's like all that money is
11:34
Speaker 7: so exorbitant to us, that we put it all in
11:37
Speaker 7: the same bucket. But it's just not you know, there's
11:39
Speaker 7: a difference be making twenty million a year and fifty
11:42
Speaker 7: you know it's forty. So it's just crazy the number
11:45
Speaker 7: he's going to get, and obviously it's going to take
11:47
Speaker 7: teams like the Brewers out of that market.
11:49
Speaker 3: Speaking of numbers, I was looking at Baseball Prospectus in
11:52
Speaker 3: their updated Pakoda standings the projections. Now they have both
11:57
Speaker 3: the Brewers and the Cubs at eighty eight wins, Cubs
12:00
Speaker 3: eighty eight point seven, Brewers eighty eight point six, and
12:04
Speaker 3: the Cubs I had by one point five forty eight
12:08
Speaker 3: winning percentage two point five forty seven.
12:10
Speaker 7: So this idea that no one can win ninety this
12:12
Speaker 7: division still is their projection is a little surprising to me.
12:15
Speaker 3: Well, the Brewers, according to them, are forty three percent
12:18
Speaker 3: forty three point eight percent to win the Central the
12:20
Speaker 3: Cubs are forty five point three right now, Brewers thirty
12:24
Speaker 3: seven percent to win. To win a wild card berth
12:27
Speaker 3: Cubs thirty six percent. Playoff percentage your poff both teams
12:31
Speaker 3: eighty one percent, Cubs eighty one point six, Brewers eighty
12:35
Speaker 3: one point four. So they still got them slugging it
12:37
Speaker 3: out despite recent developments, not swayed by you know, the
12:41
Speaker 3: Cub's recent ten game skid that ended last night, and
12:44
Speaker 3: they try to we'll start to.
12:46
Speaker 1: Go right back at it. The schemes pitching against them today.
12:49
Speaker 4: That's exactly what we're hoping for. And listen that the
12:52
Speaker 4: all these markets are are different. They all have different
12:54
Speaker 4: models and projections and analytics to it. The betting lines
12:57
Speaker 4: would would indicate very much differently than the belief is
13:00
Speaker 4: the Brewers are winning the division and that it's not
13:02
Speaker 4: as much close, but that one's also not necessarily what
13:05
Speaker 4: they think is going to happen. It's what they want
13:07
Speaker 4: and are trying to get people to invest on in right.
13:11
Speaker 4: But I mean, for the majority of the time, the
13:13
Speaker 4: Cubs were an overwhelming favorite and they've continued to have
13:16
Speaker 4: even even longer odds to win the division. Now at
13:18
Speaker 4: the Patawadami Sportsbook it's plus two seventy. So our friend
13:22
Speaker 4: Timmy Allen had a great emotional hedge with the Cubs
13:25
Speaker 4: last year. If that's what you're about, and that's what
13:26
Speaker 4: you're looking for, today might be the day because or
13:29
Speaker 4: maybe tomorrow will be the day after Skien's day, Skeens
13:32
Speaker 4: kicks them down another half game, they reached that round
13:35
Speaker 4: number of five back and then maybe you can even
13:37
Speaker 4: capitalize a plus three hundred sports book.
13:39
Speaker 7: That would be the time to invest on that, for sure.
13:42
Speaker 7: But I would love to invest on somebody winning ninety
13:46
Speaker 7: in the Central I guess it surprises me, but there's
13:48
Speaker 7: this idea, the pakoda, that that the Brewers and the
13:52
Speaker 7: Cubs and the whole division will eventually come down to earth.
13:54
Speaker 7: I guess a little bit, But well, that's a little surprising.
13:57
Speaker 3: Cleaning up in the Inner League, for sure, the whole
13:59
Speaker 3: National League is cleaning up, and interleague play this year.
14:03
Speaker 4: Well, and some of that is some of that also
14:04
Speaker 4: a projection that they're all very much bunched together and
14:07
Speaker 4: they'll beat up on each other, right, that nobody's gonna
14:09
Speaker 4: go ten and three against anybody in the division because
14:12
Speaker 4: of just how quality all the different teams are. And
14:15
Speaker 4: I think there's more to it in how their analytical
14:18
Speaker 4: models go out. Like Janny and Appleton who hit us
14:20
Speaker 4: on the talking text line through on Sports Center yesterday
14:24
Speaker 4: and they have the Brewers recap on I was very
14:25
Speaker 4: surprised that almost fell out of my chair. Usually they
14:27
Speaker 4: only have Dodgers, Yankees, et cetera, Go Crew, Janny and Appleton.
14:31
Speaker 4: They're gonna be grabbing as many sweet graphics about the
14:34
Speaker 4: Brewers as possible. I mean, Drew, we saw them with
14:36
Speaker 4: that super special fire graphic with Jacob Mazarowski the other day.
14:40
Speaker 4: The Brewers are gonna start wrecking this a block. They're
14:42
Speaker 4: gonna start finding themselves right here in the middle of
14:45
Speaker 4: this Good Morning Sports center that we get the blessed
14:47
Speaker 4: to be able to Yeah.
14:48
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that We're the big, big story. Maybe.
14:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, Brewers have a six twenty three winning percentage right now,
14:54
Speaker 7: so if you projected that out one or six two games,
14:57
Speaker 7: they are on pace to win one hundred point nine games.
15:00
Speaker 1: So they'd have to go.
15:01
Speaker 7: They'd have to have a big kind of drop off.
15:04
Speaker 7: I mean it's possible. Of course, paces can change and
15:07
Speaker 7: things like that. But again, like that's my whole theory
15:11
Speaker 7: of the ten over.
15:12
Speaker 3: You go to get to ten over, five hundred, play
15:14
Speaker 3: five hundred the rest of the season.
15:16
Speaker 1: You're you're right in the mix. Yeah, you're you're new,
15:19
Speaker 1: You're right.
15:20
Speaker 3: You're winning ninety plus games and you're in the mix
15:22
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs, all right? Eight seven seven seven
15:24
Speaker 3: four three. I'd love to hear from you on the
15:25
Speaker 3: nickolay lot dot com talking and text on. Haven't spoken
15:28
Speaker 3: much about the Packers yet. M hmm, I'm going back
15:31
Speaker 3: on the field, baby, not.
15:32
Speaker 1: What's to say. The Josh Jacobs thing is evolving.
15:35
Speaker 3: We did urge caution and we did kind of say
15:38
Speaker 3: yesterday like presumption of innocence and all that, and we
15:42
Speaker 3: don't know what happened, need more information to even project
15:45
Speaker 3: what was gonna happen. But he didn't practice as he
15:47
Speaker 3: was in cause he was released. Now there's talk that
15:49
Speaker 3: you know that the Brown County District Attorney gonna need
15:53
Speaker 3: more information before they move forward with the charge is recommended.
15:57
Speaker 3: Familiar from what it looked like, right, yeah, yeah, Hobart
16:00
Speaker 3: police or whoever whatever the YAH host Pealoty.
16:02
Speaker 1: Was so Josh Jacobs wasn't there.
16:05
Speaker 3: Lafleur was asked about it, didn't address it, just didn't said,
16:08
Speaker 3: you know, we know there's gonna be a lot of questions,
16:09
Speaker 3: but we refer to the statement prior that's kind of
16:12
Speaker 3: what we thought was gonna.
16:12
Speaker 1: Happen right out of the place. What else happened.
16:16
Speaker 3: I guess the big news if not for Josh Jacobs,
16:18
Speaker 3: the big news would have been Holy kow Tuckercraft is
16:20
Speaker 3: running around.
16:21
Speaker 1: And he might be ready for training camp. Isn't that
16:22
Speaker 1: something Drew?
16:23
Speaker 4: I like the the the ability of the healing process
16:26
Speaker 4: for some of these guys is astounding, and you know
16:29
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs not being there. Pierre Strong Junior was a
16:33
Speaker 4: guy that apparently jumped off the page a little bit,
16:35
Speaker 4: and they had a conversation about Marshawn Lloyd obviously needing.
16:39
Speaker 4: They need him to be able to grab and take
16:42
Speaker 4: whatever he has, As Lafleur said, he's been extremely explosive.
16:45
Speaker 4: He's a dual threat guy, guy that can design, you
16:47
Speaker 4: can design routes for but it's on him to be
16:50
Speaker 4: able to be consistent and be able to be there
16:53
Speaker 4: and be healthy.
16:54
Speaker 1: At the end of the year.
16:55
Speaker 4: Pete Doherty put up a really good piece talking about
16:58
Speaker 4: them desperately needing to rest the backup running bank. Now
17:01
Speaker 4: make some additional plans for running back now because you
17:04
Speaker 4: don't necessarily know what will happen in the middle of
17:06
Speaker 4: the year. It feels like something Drew that's gonna be
17:09
Speaker 4: a little slow developing and slow moving to the point
17:11
Speaker 4: where in all reality twenty twenty six might not be
17:15
Speaker 4: ultimately impacted with the Josh Jacobs situation, depending on how
17:19
Speaker 4: long the Brown County investigation goes.
17:22
Speaker 1: But Jordan Love.
17:24
Speaker 4: Throwing a couple of I INT's a couple of beautiful
17:28
Speaker 4: touchdown passes. We had OTA play by play going yesterday, Drew,
17:32
Speaker 4: and there's not much that I despise about the NFL
17:35
Speaker 4: OTA play by play is one of those things. But
17:38
Speaker 4: my man, Marcus ever saw up in Green Bay, had
17:40
Speaker 4: a best one, he said.
17:40
Speaker 1: Evan Williams picks.
17:41
Speaker 4: Off Jordan Love on a deep Bontenniver Watson hashtag don't
17:44
Speaker 4: overreact to OTA tweets.
17:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't overreact. That's the joy.
17:49
Speaker 4: They're on the same team, the duality of man, all right,
17:53
Speaker 4: Evan Williams getting picks. We need that secondary needs to
17:55
Speaker 4: be getting there, getting sticky hands right. We need to
17:58
Speaker 4: put some sticking on them hands, Jerry Rice and be
18:00
Speaker 4: able to snag some balls because otherwise we are not
18:02
Speaker 4: creating enough turnovers. Other hand, Jordan Love throwing an interception. Yeah,
18:06
Speaker 4: oh gosh, is this a make or break here for
18:09
Speaker 4: Jordan Love. But narratives can start really churning here with
18:12
Speaker 4: just some of the friends.
18:13
Speaker 3: Just had a sack in shorts. So therefore he's back
18:16
Speaker 3: and he's ready. He's gonna he might win Defensive Player
18:18
Speaker 3: of the Year. It could be, could be.
18:20
Speaker 4: Let's start looking at those odds, Brandon say, disguise the
18:24
Speaker 4: blitz came through, uh came flying through.
18:26
Speaker 1: Untouched, would have been a sack.
18:28
Speaker 4: Let's go all right, might have our next Charles Woodson
18:31
Speaker 4: silight that this is how quickly.
18:32
Speaker 1: Say, running with yourself in there.
18:34
Speaker 3: That's the story in itself, he say, running with the
18:36
Speaker 3: ones right, they don't usually do instantly.
18:39
Speaker 4: Matthew Golden, Yeah, yeah, target.
18:44
Speaker 3: Nothing to see here with Josh Jacobs yet, we kind
18:46
Speaker 3: of predicted that that'll be a slow process as it
18:48
Speaker 3: turns through. I'm gonna have our our weekly podcast with
18:52
Speaker 3: Aaron Angler tomorrow and carry the g Radio the podcast.
18:55
Speaker 1: He said.
18:55
Speaker 4: Let's uh, I want to, you know, give ourselves some time,
18:57
Speaker 4: see if there's more in here.
18:59
Speaker 1: He might be a dolphin by the time this ends.
19:01
Speaker 4: Right, like, there's a possibility that this is a long
19:04
Speaker 4: developing story, but one that is going to be a
19:07
Speaker 4: story in Green Bay for a while. Because as Matt
19:10
Speaker 4: Lafleur did say the one thing that he mentioned about
19:12
Speaker 4: it outside of we refer to the statement, He's like,
19:14
Speaker 4: I think Goody and our guys have done a great
19:16
Speaker 4: job of identifying the players that we want to bring
19:18
Speaker 4: in that this isn't gonna be a conversation, and once
19:21
Speaker 4: guys get here, they're focused on the right thing. So
19:23
Speaker 4: it's also a story because it hasn't happened very often
19:26
Speaker 4: in Green Bay. Luckily, when we come back, it's halftime
19:29
Speaker 4: of the Thursday edition. Scott Dolphin's gonna pop on in

20:08
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be Twinsi's day in the studio here.
20:10
Speaker 7: Hey, come on, it would have been awesome. Why do

20:19
Speaker 1: You know, put out the text. Arn, let's go the producer.
20:23
Speaker 1: That's fine. I content.
20:26
Speaker 7: I could organize it and stuff, But I'm just saying
20:28
Speaker 7: it wouldn't be the same as it if it.
20:29
Speaker 1: Happened organically, that would be the more exciting thing.
20:32
Speaker 3: Should we bringsday, let's go, I would be our jerseys allowed, Yes, sure,
20:39
Speaker 3: for sure, I have one.
20:40
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be. I wouldn't be opposed to that.
20:42
Speaker 4: My my little guy has been very very angry with
20:45
Speaker 4: me that I haven't that daddy's jerseys are in a
20:47
Speaker 4: box because the game.
20:50
Speaker 1: Well he's like, daddy put jersey on.
20:52
Speaker 4: Well, buddy, we don't need to have a different jersey
20:54
Speaker 4: on for every sport we play. Right four minutes we're
20:57
Speaker 4: playing basketball. We don't need to change into a bad
21:00
Speaker 4: change baseball. Yourself, it was let's speak for yourself. He goes,
21:04
Speaker 4: they got all these jerseys, you bring them upstairs. So
21:07
Speaker 4: maybe a Jersey Thursday is in order.
21:08
Speaker 3: So Kurt Hogue of the Journal Sentinel tapped into this
21:11
Speaker 3: because it's been a long running game in the press
21:13
Speaker 3: box where you can you know, in the press box
21:15
Speaker 3: you can see like the lower lows and you can
21:17
Speaker 3: see people walking around with obscure jerseys taking Oh there's
21:22
Speaker 3: a Bob hamblin jersey. There's a Brian Shause cracks people
21:27
Speaker 3: press box. So Kurt Hog took this upon himself and
21:31
Speaker 3: did some reporting and took an inventory of jerseys scene
21:35
Speaker 3: at the UH at the ballpark.
21:37
Speaker 1: Brilliant. People love this stuff.
21:38
Speaker 3: Most popular current players are christ and Yelicks for sure,
21:41
Speaker 3: obviously and Jackson Curio uh huh. But the ones from
21:45
Speaker 3: previous years are the ones that stand out the most.
21:47
Speaker 4: Always the most fun. You gotta find a number of
21:50
Speaker 4: number five Jeff Jenkins jerseys out there. Oh yeah, well,
21:53
Speaker 4: there's still going to be a decent amount of Jeff
21:55
Speaker 4: Jenkins the sections out there too.
21:56
Speaker 7: You know.
21:57
Speaker 4: Every once in a while, I did see somebody with
21:59
Speaker 4: a John Atan and Scope jersey on a couple of
22:03
Speaker 4: and that's that's probably one that I would have put
22:06
Speaker 4: into the good will be that one I probably would
22:09
Speaker 4: have donated a Saint Vince.
22:10
Speaker 2: That was somebody that was trying to get out ahead
22:12
Speaker 2: of the fad. They thought this, this guy is gonna
22:15
Speaker 2: be it man. But yeah, I need I need to
22:17
Speaker 2: get one before they sell out in Team store.
22:20
Speaker 3: It will be Millner jerseys. Keon Broxton, how about uh Love?
22:24
Speaker 1: Hey? I like Toby too. Hoby was really good for
22:27
Speaker 1: a short amount. Yeah, but is he jersey worthy?
22:29
Speaker 4: I mean Shouse's jersey. I think.
22:34
Speaker 2: Though on any given game day, you're gonna be the
22:36
Speaker 2: only Brian Shause American family than right.
22:38
Speaker 3: Yes, my daughter was a big Cedar fan. She wanted
22:41
Speaker 3: to ed Cedar jersey. I never pulled the trigger for it.
22:43
Speaker 1: That's creative. See I like that well, and it's it
22:45
Speaker 1: comes to.
22:46
Speaker 4: One of the best gifts that I've ever been given
22:48
Speaker 4: was Marcus Handel in this studio last year gave me
22:52
Speaker 4: a number fifty five Handle jersey.
22:54
Speaker 1: You're not seeing a lot of double nickels walking around.
22:56
Speaker 4: You're definitely not seeing a lot of coups kids, even
22:58
Speaker 4: though you should see more jerseys around that same you
23:01
Speaker 4: want to talk about the legend section, they start telling
23:03
Speaker 4: Marcus handle jerseys, there'll be a lot more that starts
23:06
Speaker 4: selling there and how long did he wear that uniform?
23:08
Speaker 2: Long days, the longest guys. Yeah, yeah, forever there that
23:13
Speaker 2: that's a job that has always intrigued me. The bullpen catcher.
23:16
Speaker 2: I mean, you can have a long, long career. Now
23:20
Speaker 2: it's probably you know, not going to probably break the bank.
23:23
Speaker 2: I'm sure they take care of those guys around where
23:25
Speaker 2: they get tipped out for sure. Good good.
23:27
Speaker 4: If that's in the conversation of the best sports jobs
23:29
Speaker 4: in the world, I totally agree, because you know, there's
23:32
Speaker 4: no pressure on you, not a lot of pressure.
23:34
Speaker 1: You get the cosplay as a major leaguer.
23:36
Speaker 2: You do have to know how to catch it one
23:37
Speaker 2: hundred mile an hour fastball in the bullpen.
23:39
Speaker 1: Right and then then yeah, that's the skill you learn.
23:42
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing. Like, that's the part of it.
23:44
Speaker 4: It's far from a non light like you have to
23:46
Speaker 4: have some talent there. You got to have some ponies
23:48
Speaker 4: to be able back.
23:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:49
Speaker 4: But if you're talking about the best jobs in all
23:51
Speaker 4: the sports, best view every single game, and.
23:54
Speaker 1: Those guys were pro ball players for the most part, right.
23:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marcus got all the way up to like double
23:59
Speaker 3: A and Marcus Marcus also threw him a lot of
24:03
Speaker 3: VP and he had like the bionic.
24:05
Speaker 1: Arm, rubber arm, bionic this this makes me think of
24:09
Speaker 1: the story.
24:09
Speaker 2: I haven't thought about him a thousand years, but when
24:11
Speaker 2: after I first got here, we used to have Ben
24:14
Speaker 2: McDonald on.
24:16
Speaker 1: Louisiana. Yeah, so so he he.
24:19
Speaker 2: He came out to the radio station one day and
24:20
Speaker 2: we thought it'd be cute and fun to dress our
24:22
Speaker 2: producer up, our morning show producer in gear and see
24:25
Speaker 2: if he can catch a Ben McDonald fastball.
24:28
Speaker 1: I love that.
24:29
Speaker 2: Joe Cephas was our morning show producer at the time.
24:32
Speaker 2: He about freaking died that day because Ben didn't. Ben
24:35
Speaker 2: didn't make it easy on him. He's firing the This
24:38
Speaker 2: guy was the number one pick out of l s U.
24:40
Speaker 2: Longtime Baltimore Oriole played for the Brewers. He still Orioles TV.
24:43
Speaker 2: He does that awesome analytics. Well, he let one fly
24:47
Speaker 2: and Joe missed the ball. I think he think he
24:51
Speaker 2: got the top of the mit on it and it
24:53
Speaker 2: hit him square on the chest protector. I thought, oh
24:55
Speaker 2: my god, this was a bad idea. Yeah, we shouldn't
24:58
Speaker 2: have done that.
24:58
Speaker 1: You could never do that days with liability. No, no,
25:01
Speaker 1: no no, And.
25:02
Speaker 4: It brings up one of my favorite uh conversations that
25:05
Speaker 4: wrestlers will have when they go and do the car
25:08
Speaker 4: wash interviews in different spots. The number one question they
25:11
Speaker 4: get from the morning shows, hey, would you body slam
25:14
Speaker 4: this guy over here? And they're like, no, no, because
25:18
Speaker 4: I will hurt him and I will look like a jack. However, now,
25:22
Speaker 4: if indeed you really want to get smart with me,
25:25
Speaker 4: and then on the back side, I'll make everybody think
25:27
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna knock him out and then it'll be
25:29
Speaker 4: even better content. But you have to have at least
25:31
Speaker 4: one of those conversations of, hey, let's see if you
25:33
Speaker 4: can catch this bad boy, because I think Zabe was trying.
25:36
Speaker 1: To get wagged to throw him one for a long.
25:37
Speaker 1: I know.
25:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they, like many many of the uninformed couch sitters,
25:43
Speaker 3: oh I could get a bunt down against, then they
25:46
Speaker 3: should get down.
25:48
Speaker 1: He couldn't. Well, it's also about testing the dedication.
25:53
Speaker 3: No, you couldn't get a bunch of people say oh
25:56
Speaker 3: I could bunt or you know, could even make content.
25:58
Speaker 2: Every we used to say that as little as well,
26:00
Speaker 2: I know, at some point I'd be able to, you know,
26:02
Speaker 2: get the bat on the ball against big lead pitching,
26:04
Speaker 2: not a chance.
26:05
Speaker 7: That's why I bet that's why I think Billy Long
26:07
Speaker 7: has hated my stands against long snappers that eventually anyone
26:10
Speaker 7: could learn to do it, because he's that's one of
26:11
Speaker 7: the worst arman.
26:12
Speaker 1: You couldn't do it, like you just not think you
26:14
Speaker 1: could do it.
26:14
Speaker 7: I'm like, I don't know, See, I think it's easier
26:16
Speaker 7: to figure out how a long snap then to take
26:19
Speaker 7: a you know, to take.
26:20
Speaker 3: Like saying, well, I can kick a ball off a tee,
26:24
Speaker 3: I can kick a ball. I could kick a thirty
26:25
Speaker 3: five ye field, so therefore I could kick winning the game.
26:28
Speaker 3: No different disciplines, yeah, to long snap with in a
26:32
Speaker 3: football situation.
26:34
Speaker 1: None.
26:34
Speaker 7: It's sort of like what golfers think, sorry, golf. It's
26:36
Speaker 7: sort of like a golfers think about golfing, right, because
26:38
Speaker 7: like I know, in my past people have been like,
26:41
Speaker 7: I could I've driven it that far right, so I
26:43
Speaker 7: could drive it in the tour. Not when you're in
26:45
Speaker 7: the tour, not when you're in front of everybody, not
26:47
Speaker 7: when you're like it's a totally different situation.
26:49
Speaker 2: As far as long snappers are concerned. Normally those guys
26:52
Speaker 2: are a little underweight compared to the rest of their
26:55
Speaker 2: opinions out there. They're looking through their legs and you've
26:59
Speaker 2: got three hundred pound men, thank you, that are breathing
27:02
Speaker 2: hot fire on the back of your neck, just ready
27:04
Speaker 2: to take your head off as soon as that ball
27:06
Speaker 2: is snapped.
27:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you have to you have to deal with
27:08
Speaker 7: that part of it is like being on That's a
27:10
Speaker 7: small little piece of it, not dolphin, but you just
27:13
Speaker 7: have to deal with that apartment over.
27:15
Speaker 2: You're gonna get barrel rolled in about zero point eight seconds.
27:18
Speaker 1: So what are you saying that you have to be
27:19
Speaker 1: one of the greatest athletes to know.
27:21
Speaker 4: But there's definitely a skill involved not get run over
27:24
Speaker 4: and get a punt blocked in the end zone of
27:27
Speaker 4: the NFC Divisional round and lose the game.
27:30
Speaker 7: Well, sure, you can't do your job badly. The most
27:33
Speaker 7: important parts are you will have failed the job itself.
27:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean out with this.
27:37
Speaker 2: Why are they normally between two forty and two hundred
27:40
Speaker 2: and sixty pounds is because they want they want those
27:41
Speaker 2: guys to be able to make tackles.
27:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, mostly because you back in the old days, you
27:45
Speaker 4: had to run down there and you were gonna be
27:47
Speaker 4: one of the first guys to be able to make
27:48
Speaker 4: the tackle, and also at the dexterity of it, and
27:52
Speaker 4: like how you actually have the mechanics of it.
27:55
Speaker 1: Great point.
27:55
Speaker 4: It's not super easy for a three hundred pounder with
27:58
Speaker 4: the long limbs to be able to hold and then
28:00
Speaker 4: fire it through. So it kind of just fits the
28:02
Speaker 4: body style. If you tried it, Billy, Yeah, I used
28:04
Speaker 4: to do it. I was not very good at it, No,
28:06
Speaker 4: I was. I was rather poor at it. My favorite
28:08
Speaker 4: part though, was going down and covering the kicks because
28:11
Speaker 4: the play would be over by the time about halfway down,
28:15
Speaker 4: slow trot right over the side of the moments agreement
28:18
Speaker 4: that you're not going to get clubbed, right because you
28:20
Speaker 4: you don't club our long snapper.
28:21
Speaker 1: We don't shake agreement.
28:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a little that that kind of deal
28:25
Speaker 3: where yeah, you kind of go through unscathed.
28:27
Speaker 4: It was my thought of the only way that I
28:28
Speaker 4: was going to get in the paper golf was if
28:30
Speaker 4: I long snap and I can get one of those tackles, Sure,
28:32
Speaker 4: I get one.
28:33
Speaker 1: Of those tackles. Bill Schmid's name is going to find
28:35
Speaker 1: under the paper Are kids going to college?
28:37
Speaker 7: Now?
28:38
Speaker 2: With that thought in mind, I could make the league
28:40
Speaker 2: as a long snap That.
28:41
Speaker 7: Was my original point is I think that's what you
28:43
Speaker 7: could do. Like I could be wrong, but aren't there
28:46
Speaker 7: long snapper? There's not long snand.
28:48
Speaker 1: No, there are no And that's where I was gonna say.
28:49
Speaker 4: Cole's kicking camp is the most UH highly regarded kicking
28:53
Speaker 4: UH and long standing punting and punting that happens across
28:57
Speaker 4: the country. And Jamie Coles from Wisconsin, so a lot
29:00
Speaker 4: of those camps are actually emanating from Wisconsin. We had
29:03
Speaker 4: a young man at Arrowhead, Kyler uh Farrow, who is
29:06
Speaker 4: now at u USC go Cox, South Carolina, a full
29:11
Speaker 4: scholarship to be a long snapper. So like there there's
29:14
Speaker 4: a ton of them. He was a five star UH
29:16
Speaker 4: long snapper at the time. And then Jamie Cole has
29:18
Speaker 4: developed so many great kickers and punters that there's a
29:21
Speaker 4: ton throughout there.
29:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, something I never have heard before. I never
29:25
Speaker 2: thought I would hear in my life. Five star long.
29:27
Speaker 1: Snad didn't know they gave them. Kyler was earning one.
29:33
Speaker 1: It is a position they're gonna give it. He was
29:35
Speaker 1: hitting that spot every single time.
29:37
Speaker 3: The pride of c MH. Matt Katula back in the
29:39
Speaker 3: day from Brookfield.
29:40
Speaker 1: I think it was.
29:41
Speaker 3: I think our buddy Bob Brainerd's nephew, I think well,
29:43
Speaker 3: and what he had he played for like four teams
29:46
Speaker 3: a long snap.
29:49
Speaker 7: If you think you're a moderately good athlete at that
29:52
Speaker 7: high school level, but you think you can maybe make
29:54
Speaker 7: the next level, you're more likely to do it to
29:56
Speaker 7: something like long snapping than trying to be one of
29:58
Speaker 7: the most great physical lineback specimens for it.
30:01
Speaker 1: Think about the longevity those guys.
30:02
Speaker 2: Who is the guy that played for the Packers and
30:04
Speaker 2: played for the Bears as well.
30:06
Speaker 1: Rob Davis?
30:07
Speaker 2: Davis y so did he played for like fifteen sixteen years.
30:10
Speaker 1: If not more than that? Yeah?
30:11
Speaker 4: And I mean Pat Mannley was with the Bears for
30:14
Speaker 4: eighteen years. One of the other good ones is I
30:16
Speaker 4: mean because a lot of these conversations happened after the
30:20
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one Divisional round game of like, hey, who
30:23
Speaker 4: could have been long stamping and not get pushed back
30:25
Speaker 4: like a shopping cart into Corey Borgez jj Janssen was
30:29
Speaker 4: formerly of the Green Bay Packers, a long snapper number
30:33
Speaker 4: forty four, still the long snapper for the Carolina Panthers.
30:35
Speaker 4: He's been long snamping for twenty years and had one
30:38
Speaker 4: year with Green Bay and has been in Carolina ever since.
30:41
Speaker 1: Awesome.
30:42
Speaker 4: They also end up being a lot of times the
30:46
Speaker 4: the guys that end up getting right into media because
30:48
Speaker 4: they saw absolutely everything in that locker room. Sure, and
30:52
Speaker 4: they would ended up getting to be the kind of
30:54
Speaker 4: fly on the wall and get to observe what made
30:56
Speaker 4: teams good or lockickers not so good.
31:00
Speaker 6: Yeah.
31:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, the specialists, if you will, storytellers.
31:02
Speaker 3: Probably good golfers too, because you get to hang with
31:04
Speaker 3: those guys and that's what they do.
31:05
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna get good at it.
31:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, and probably drew really good bags players, right because
31:09
Speaker 4: bags will probably be in the locker room. They're the
31:12
Speaker 4: dudes that are just hanging out waiting to do something
31:14
Speaker 4: while everybody else is going to meetings.
31:15
Speaker 1: Can they do bags between their legs? I think you
31:18
Speaker 1: have to do.
31:18
Speaker 4: You only learn that with the coconuts and the party animals,
31:21
Speaker 4: who are gonna become an American family field in a
31:23
Speaker 4: couple of weeks.
31:23
Speaker 2: Honestly, bags spiraling as they're heading towards the board.
31:27
Speaker 7: I think the one thing you do have to have
31:28
Speaker 7: is probably that mental ability and toughness to embrace a
31:32
Speaker 7: tedious task and do repetitive task over and over and
31:34
Speaker 7: over and over. So if that's something you like to
31:36
Speaker 7: do and you like the pursuit of that, then you
31:38
Speaker 7: would be good at things like, you know, the bags
31:40
Speaker 7: or whatever it is. Because I think the greatness of
31:43
Speaker 7: long Staff is probably mastering one task in muscle memory
31:46
Speaker 7: over time, and the mental tediousness of that task is
31:49
Speaker 7: probably one of the toughest parts of it. So I'll
31:51
Speaker 7: give them credit on that. I think that part of
31:53
Speaker 7: it's tough. So I think it's probably in that.
31:55
Speaker 1: Regard, you know. Yeah, that part of it's to not
31:57
Speaker 1: the physical. Yeah, that part of it.
31:59
Speaker 4: Not the throw the ball fifteen yards between your legs
32:01
Speaker 4: and have it there in under two seconds, and with them.
32:07
Speaker 1: The repetitiveness the task.
32:09
Speaker 7: The baseline physical ability to do it is one thing,
32:12
Speaker 7: but to be able to perfect it over time, you
32:14
Speaker 7: have to repeat that task probably thousands of times.
32:17
Speaker 2: It's the one job where you're only going to notice
32:19
Speaker 2: them if it goes horribly wrong.
32:21
Speaker 1: Sure right, that's true, Uh, Dolph.
32:23
Speaker 3: Yesterday we the Packers no shock no comments about Josh
32:27
Speaker 3: Jacobs in his situation, and they sequested the players from
32:31
Speaker 3: media screws probably.
32:32
Speaker 1: A good Yeah.
32:32
Speaker 3: I think they didn't want to have the players answer
32:34
Speaker 3: a bunch of questions about Josh Jacobs.
32:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting so that the DA's
32:38
Speaker 2: office said, you know, we think there's more evidence out
32:40
Speaker 2: there as to whether or whether or not we should
32:44
Speaker 2: file charges, and his camp is saying, you know, he
32:46
Speaker 2: vehemallly denies any wrongdoing. So I would think it's going
32:50
Speaker 2: to happen pretty fast if there's going to be some
32:52
Speaker 2: some word on this. But right now, you know, Josh
32:54
Speaker 2: is out, and I guess he'll be allowed to participate
32:57
Speaker 2: in activities if it goes that far without.
33:00
Speaker 1: Any word from the District Attorney's office.
33:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we were saying, other than that, the story
33:06
Speaker 3: would be Tucker Craft coming back and being ready to
33:09
Speaker 3: cavort because there was a time when that's wild that
33:12
Speaker 3: stuff was a twelve to fourteen month injury back in
33:14
Speaker 3: the day.
33:15
Speaker 1: For the majority of the time, it always has been yeah,
33:17
Speaker 1: nine months.
33:18
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, okay, well, And I mean we talked about
33:20
Speaker 4: Dustin May earlier on today, and the last time he
33:22
Speaker 4: was at American Family Field, Drew you might have heard
33:24
Speaker 4: him screaming and the UCL pop.
33:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's done it twice.
33:30
Speaker 4: He had it in twenty twenty after they won the
33:32
Speaker 4: title with the Dodgers, and then again in twenty two
33:34
Speaker 4: or twenty three, and now he's still out here getting
33:37
Speaker 4: twelve and that million bucks because he's one of the
33:39
Speaker 4: still Reclamation Project pitchers and ball like that process continues
33:42
Speaker 4: to get way too good.
33:43
Speaker 2: It goes to show you how these guys just worship
33:45
Speaker 2: their bodies more and more. It's become a twelve month
33:48
Speaker 2: sport without injuries, and you got guys like Tucker Craft.
33:50
Speaker 2: That doesn't surprise me how driven that he is that
33:53
Speaker 2: he's already back in Green Bay. Did they give an
33:56
Speaker 2: update on They're not talking weak shato? Are they been
33:59
Speaker 2: a lot of people are thinking and what middle of
34:01
Speaker 2: the season like Bear game?
34:02
Speaker 1: Maybe? Well, I think.
34:04
Speaker 4: Craft Craft and Parsons everyone was kind of pairing together
34:07
Speaker 4: like they might both be POP guys initially. Now Crafts
34:10
Speaker 4: still probably I would assume we'll still get placed initially
34:14
Speaker 4: on the pup list.
34:16
Speaker 1: And then maybe work is with me. We camp.
34:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I believe right Drew, you can get taken
34:21
Speaker 4: off before final cutdown day. Okay, that's what it is,
34:24
Speaker 4: so he it seems like that's gonna be the that's
34:27
Speaker 4: gonna be the plan of attack for him.
34:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:29
Speaker 4: And also we got even bigger news out of Green
34:32
Speaker 4: Bay yesterday finalizing the preseason schedule. Packers all night games
34:38
Speaker 4: in the preseason for the first time in like five
34:40
Speaker 4: or six years. I didn't anticipate that was going to
34:42
Speaker 4: be a stat but they play an eight o'clock kick
34:44
Speaker 4: in Denver and then a Friday night April twenty seventh
34:49
Speaker 4: is the lone home game there against the U. I
34:53
Speaker 4: should totally know Arizona Cardinals.
34:54
Speaker 2: I thought this was going to be trimmed down to
34:56
Speaker 2: two games. What happened there.
34:58
Speaker 1: When they get it? When they to eighteen regular season games.
35:02
Speaker 6: Yeah.
35:02
Speaker 4: And there's a reason why they haven't named a date
35:05
Speaker 4: for that Atlanta super Bowl, which is in the golf
35:07
Speaker 4: two years.
35:08
Speaker 1: Yes, because there there's.
35:10
Speaker 4: An anticipation that they might making some mechanics rolling through here.
35:14
Speaker 1: Yea.
35:14
Speaker 2: And we also saw the Badgers had a couple more
35:17
Speaker 2: schedule times released against Minnesota on Black Friday.
35:21
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a night game Black Friday. I'm black.
35:23
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a fun one.
35:25
Speaker 2: And then Eastern Illinois and Western Illinois those times. I
35:28
Speaker 2: was disappointed I didn't see the Southern Illinois or Northern
35:31
Speaker 2: Illinois on the schedule since we have both Eastern and Western.
35:34
Speaker 2: But I guess you can only play so many directional
35:36
Speaker 2: schools out of Illinois.
35:37
Speaker 1: Alf we take as many as possible. It's take as
35:39
Speaker 1: many as we could.
35:40
Speaker 4: But the one thing that we had, our friend Randon
35:42
Speaker 4: hit us up on the talking text line as well
35:44
Speaker 4: as a big ten announces of kicktimes, and Iowa, Wisconsin
35:48
Speaker 4: will not kick after four people.
35:50
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised. I'm really surprised. So maybe two thirty.
35:53
Speaker 1: I don't know.
35:53
Speaker 2: I thought for sure that would be a night game
35:55
Speaker 2: Halloween night. It just lends itself be awesome. Maybe it
35:58
Speaker 2: lends itself to disaster and that's why they didn't do it.
36:01
Speaker 1: That was gonna be that I was. I was starting
36:03
Speaker 1: to make some plans.
36:04
Speaker 4: I was starting to try to find a way to
36:06
Speaker 4: be there Kennick at night, Kennick at night, to be
36:08
Speaker 4: able to experience it.
36:09
Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna have to wait. I guess I'm
36:11
Speaker 1: gonna have to win Iowa. Son of them.
36:14
Speaker 3: Crazy crazy Dolph. Thanks are dropping by appreciate it as always.
36:18
Speaker 3: Scott Dolphin from FM one O six, the country station
36:21
Speaker 3: down the hall, We're gonna take a quick break. Hunter
36:23
Speaker 3: joined us at seven twenty five year in the huddle.
36:24
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin seven seven seven nine seven three
36:35
Speaker 3: gets you into the Nicolay Law dot Com talk and
36:38
Speaker 3: text line time for a little Who's Hot Who's Not?
36:40
Speaker 3: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson, the leaders in h
36:43
Speaker 3: VAC heating, cooling, whatever your needs. Donovan Jorgenson employee owned
36:47
Speaker 3: for forty years. Billy Who's Hot and Who's Not?
36:50
Speaker 4: H The Chicago Cubs finally get him off the matt yesterday.
36:52
Speaker 4: Hard to say that they're hot, however, Ian Happ gave
36:55
Speaker 4: them the big three run shot drove in five of
36:59
Speaker 4: the Cubs head runs yesterday against the Buckos to give
37:02
Speaker 4: and snap their ten game losing streaks. So Ian Happ
37:05
Speaker 4: will find himself into the hot category. Lon Soto is
37:08
Speaker 4: homered in back to back games. He's in the hot
37:10
Speaker 4: category for the New York Mets, who otherwise still struggling.
37:14
Speaker 4: We've had a lot of fun watching where the Mets
37:18
Speaker 4: season has gone.
37:19
Speaker 1: Twenty three and thirty three.
37:20
Speaker 4: They think it'll win against the Reds yesterday, which we
37:23
Speaker 4: appreciate as well. And Morikami once again for the Chicago
37:29
Speaker 4: White Sox. How about this dude twenty six years old
37:31
Speaker 4: comes over from Japan hitting two forty.
37:35
Speaker 1: Okay, nice little rookie here. Well, it's also got twenty
37:38
Speaker 1: homers and.
37:38
Speaker 4: Forty driven in ops of nine to thirty for the
37:42
Speaker 4: left handed first baseman who has just hammered bombs. He
37:47
Speaker 4: is homered in three straight games. And if you're the
37:49
Speaker 4: Minnesota Twins, you hate the new guy into the Al
37:53
Speaker 4: Central because he homered in all three games of that series.
37:55
Speaker 4: That would be in the hot category for Morikami. He
37:59
Speaker 4: has been in the sane for the last number for
38:02
Speaker 4: the start of his major league baseball career and a
38:04
Speaker 4: ton of fun to watch. Also still in the not
38:07
Speaker 4: category the Troy Tigers. They're two and eight in their
38:08
Speaker 4: last ten games. Uh and we had the conversation earlier
38:11
Speaker 4: today are they going to be trading terror schooble? So
38:14
Speaker 4: the Tigers will find themselves in the not category And
38:16
Speaker 4: maybe my favorite one. He was not the other day,
38:20
Speaker 4: but ultimately he was hot enough to walk out on
38:23
Speaker 4: media availability and since he's the Golden Boy, Victor web
38:28
Speaker 4: Ben Yama was warned by the National Basketball Association for
38:32
Speaker 4: skipping out on his media obligations after Game five of
38:35
Speaker 4: the Western Conference Finals.
38:38
Speaker 1: Just Wemby, would you please? Would you goose? Would you
38:41
Speaker 1: just talk to him just next time? I know you're
38:44
Speaker 1: not happy, but would you be able to Guys?
38:47
Speaker 4: I feel pretty confident in saying if ninety percent of
38:51
Speaker 4: the NBA did that, they would be fined. But Victor
38:54
Speaker 4: wembn Yama apparently lives on that nice little island where
38:56
Speaker 4: you just get a little slap on the wrist of Wemby.
38:58
Speaker 1: Would you just next time, just for a couple.
39:00
Speaker 7: Of the star treatment there find you, But we're just

39:05
Speaker 7: mean gracious, I mean these you know, but you can understand,
39:08
Speaker 7: right the officiating was just so That's all I heard

Speaker 7: yesterday from everywhere I heard.
39:12
Speaker 1: I heard Dan.
39:12
Speaker 7: Patrick, I heard on all these great shows, great shows,
39:15
Speaker 7: but I heard it that the officiating just was was
39:18
Speaker 7: let the league down in Game five, the way they
39:20
Speaker 7: officiated the game.
39:21
Speaker 1: That was the excuse. It seemed like, Hey.
39:24
Speaker 7: How about for who's not the entire al West, No
39:27
Speaker 7: one's five hundred yet we're still waiting for a five
39:29
Speaker 7: hundred team in the American League West. Right now, the
39:32
Speaker 7: Mariners are in first place at twenty eight and twenty nine.
39:34
Speaker 7: Four teams in the American League have a winning.
39:36
Speaker 1: Record, guys.
39:37
Speaker 7: One of those is the White Sox, who won to
39:39
Speaker 7: push their record one above five hundred.
39:41
Speaker 1: Incredible. Yeah, absolutely, interleague has had that effect this year. Yeah,
39:44
Speaker 1: no kidding.
39:45
Speaker 4: And then from the NHL, Sebastianaho ends up being hot.
39:49
Speaker 4: He has scored in back to back games for the
39:52
Speaker 4: Carolina Hurricanes as they just drumed the Montreal Canadians. And
39:57
Speaker 4: now who's not Montreal? I mean, man, Yeah, it was
40:01
Speaker 4: aird Idea eighteen thousand strong, wow, and eighteen twenty thousand

Speaker 4: pardon me, just under twenty one thousand in the Bell
40:08
Speaker 4: Center yesterday, every single one of them wearing a sweater
40:12
Speaker 4: and every single one of their heart's broken.
40:14
Speaker 1: In three minutes, that's it.
40:16
Speaker 4: Carolinas scored at fourteen fifty nine, sixteen oh seven, and
40:21
Speaker 4: seventeen forty six of the first period, and that was raps.
40:24
Speaker 7: They lose four to You could just hear the swearing
40:27
Speaker 7: in French all across Quebec. Oh man, yea they were
40:30
Speaker 7: dump truck from the start, and uh, the Hurricanes looked
40:32
Speaker 7: like a wagon.
40:33
Speaker 1: Tom Dendon feeling pretty good, I would imagine, So, yeah,
40:36
Speaker 1: just wait till he meets.
40:37
Speaker 3: It's the point where we don't even include o'tanian discussions
40:40
Speaker 3: of who's hot because you.
40:41
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, because he's just too good.
40:43
Speaker 6: Drew.
40:44
