1:53
Speaker 1: Health dot Com. I'm gonna talk to Hunter bombgart and
1:56
Speaker 1: a little bit about the Brewers, and that's a good
1:59
Speaker 1: dovetail into who's hot and who's not, because I think
2:03
Speaker 1: that who's hot and I've been talking about I've been
2:06
Speaker 1: singing their praises. So they're not going under the radar.
2:08
Speaker 1: But the Brewers bullpen right now.
2:10
Speaker 2: Oh big time. It's incredible. What they've been doing is
2:13
Speaker 2: flaming hot like a cheeto. Yeah, the numbers are pretty nasty.
2:16
Speaker 2: Twenty five innings, pitch well, twenty five point two I
2:19
Speaker 2: should say, two thirds, three earned runs, one five e RA.
2:23
Speaker 1: That's it.
2:23
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if you want to hear
2:25
Speaker 2: that again, that's wild, pretty good through six games. I
2:28
Speaker 2: don't know if we can sustain that type of and
2:30
Speaker 2: you know, level of we have ability, but that's the.
2:33
Speaker 1: Wood Ford and McGill gave up homers. Those are two
2:36
Speaker 1: of the runs. I don't know, I don't remember the
2:37
Speaker 1: other one. But that's pretty good after six games.
2:40
Speaker 2: There was a garbage running opening day, I think, wasn't
2:42
Speaker 2: there man, Yeah, garbage that was the wood for that
2:45
Speaker 2: was the Miguel gave up a home run and the loss.
2:49
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's somewhere there was one really good. That
2:53
Speaker 2: is pretty anything well. And to also be able to
2:55
Speaker 2: double it up with the youth that they've had in
2:57
Speaker 2: the rotation, Like you you knew that the the blow
3:00
Speaker 2: up is gonna ruin whatever era, your starters are gonna have.
3:04
Speaker 2: But Misraowski goes out yesterday the two run shot.
3:06
Speaker 1: That's it. All he's given up is two long balls.
3:09
Speaker 1: And Chad Patrick.
3:11
Speaker 2: Was phenomenal, only one earner run there, and Harrison too
3:15
Speaker 2: lost also in forgotten kind of in that loss was
3:18
Speaker 2: how he settled in ended up striking out eight across
3:21
Speaker 2: the five. The staff in general has been phenomenal, but
3:23
Speaker 2: the bullpen is the one that I think because it
3:27
Speaker 2: seems like there's such variance around the game. Yes every
3:29
Speaker 2: single year, with your bullpen, it's almost like an offensive
3:32
Speaker 2: line where it's gonna be the most forgotten about until
3:36
Speaker 2: they're bad.
3:37
Speaker 1: Then they're the worst unit on.
3:39
Speaker 2: Every team, right Like they're the one that will ultimately
3:41
Speaker 2: probably get cussed out the most by fans, but fans
3:44
Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to pick them out of a lineup
3:46
Speaker 2: if you were walking down the street. That's a great pointy. Obviously,
3:49
Speaker 2: we have one hundred and fifty six more of these
3:50
Speaker 2: things to go. There's a long way to go, but
3:52
Speaker 2: you do get sometimes a little bit nervous because of
3:55
Speaker 2: that reality. When you walk into it, you're knowing you're
3:57
Speaker 2: depending on your bullpen and be great again, because you
4:00
Speaker 2: know they should be.
4:00
Speaker 1: But you know, performance isn't linear.
4:03
Speaker 2: We've talked about that many times, especially with bullpen arms.
4:05
Speaker 2: It seems like you can't always count on them being
4:08
Speaker 2: what you thought they were one way or the other.
4:10
Speaker 2: So it is nice to see them fulfill that early on,
4:13
Speaker 2: especially with some of their biggest bullpen.
4:15
Speaker 1: Arms not there anymore.
4:16
Speaker 2: The meerkat is not around anymore, so you know that's
4:20
Speaker 2: the way it is. But those other guys have been
4:22
Speaker 2: filling in nicely and performing their role, and it feels
4:25
Speaker 2: like everyone settling into their role, which is so important
4:28
Speaker 2: in the part.
4:28
Speaker 1: Right, So it's who's hot who's not? Brought to us
4:30
Speaker 1: by Donovan Jargeenson. I'm going with the Bruce Bullpen being
4:33
Speaker 1: hot and Billy who's not. I'm going with the Washington Wizards.
4:36
Speaker 5: That would that would be a good one. That would
4:38
Speaker 5: be a fair one to throw in here. That's cruel
4:40
Speaker 5: and unusual punishment what they did to that young man
4:43
Speaker 5: last night.
4:44
Speaker 1: The Wizards. They lost one fifty three to one thirty one.
4:48
Speaker 1: They give up one hundred and fifty three points. Yeah,
4:50
Speaker 1: and they.
4:50
Speaker 5: Made some guy think that they want that He won
4:52
Speaker 5: ten thousand dollars on in April Fool's prank yesterday by
4:55
Speaker 5: blindfolding him for a half court shot.
4:56
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a room for a lawsuit there,
4:58
Speaker 2: for some sort of like you gotta give me a
5:00
Speaker 2: free jersey or something if you do it. Well, they
5:02
Speaker 2: did say they're giving him an autographed jersey in courts
5:04
Speaker 2: they did. I missed that, all right that I'm happy
5:06
Speaker 2: about that because then you got more than you thought
5:08
Speaker 2: you would, so you can't really complain.
5:09
Speaker 1: I mean they pulled that.
5:10
Speaker 2: They pulled that prank on me at Christmas once with
5:13
Speaker 2: a poll tab. They got a fake poll tab and
5:15
Speaker 2: they made me think I won fifteen g and I
5:17
Speaker 2: was jumping around the room going crazy.
5:19
Speaker 1: Your parents, No, it.
5:20
Speaker 2: Was well not my parents, but it was a family members.
5:23
Speaker 2: It was my mom's cousins at they're at the big family.
5:25
Speaker 2: You got lottery ticket, I got got So my thing
5:28
Speaker 2: is like, all right, that's fine, you guys had your
5:30
Speaker 2: fun and games, but you better get me a nice gift.
5:32
Speaker 2: I better get a nice open the rope here or
5:34
Speaker 2: some nice gift here, something that nice v Nex sweater,
5:36
Speaker 2: or you lose it just like that makes the shot.
5:39
Speaker 2: I hate April fools, and I'm just so glad it's
5:41
Speaker 2: over and that I saw that billion.
5:43
Speaker 1: I was like, man, that's nasty work by those guys.
5:46
Speaker 1: Nasty work. Oh I thought it was.
5:50
Speaker 4: Now.
5:50
Speaker 5: I also would have wouldn't be surprised if that was
5:52
Speaker 5: ultimately a staffer that may or may have been planted
5:57
Speaker 5: into that situation.
5:59
Speaker 1: Oh you don't say that happen sometimes? Is that work
6:01
Speaker 1: every once in a while?
6:02
Speaker 2: Ye?
6:03
Speaker 1: Who also would be in the hot category? Guys?
6:04
Speaker 5: Bryce Terrang, son of a Gun is just a mainstay
6:08
Speaker 5: into the hot category. I don't know that you could
6:10
Speaker 5: get much hotter pause than what Bryce Terrang has come
6:14
Speaker 5: in and started the twenty twenty six season with doing
6:17
Speaker 5: exactly drew what we were hoping he was going to
6:18
Speaker 5: do off that WBC energy. Bring that right on into
6:23
Speaker 5: the big leagues. Bring that right on over here. Also,
6:25
Speaker 5: who's hot?
6:26
Speaker 1: Is my man? Aaron in Carolina?
6:27
Speaker 5: With my joke about the Duke fans pulling coming out
6:30
Speaker 5: in the Homer Simpson mean, when all of a sudden
6:32
Speaker 5: busting out their Yankees hats and Laker jerseys. Great, great
6:36
Speaker 5: situation for all those fake Duke fans that are ultimately
6:39
Speaker 5: around there. What's not fake is the kind of work
6:41
Speaker 5: that they're doing at Donovan Jorgensen and largest employee owned
6:44
Speaker 5: HVAC company in the state of Wisconsin.
6:46
Speaker 1: That's what sets them apart. They want to earn your business.
6:48
Speaker 5: Also, they're going to earn your business with a sixty
6:50
Speaker 5: month zero percent interest deal going on right now qualifying
6:53
Speaker 5: aries Pro Systems with three locations West Dallas, New Berlin,
6:57
Speaker 5: and Mcgwonago. Go check them out Donovan Jorgensen dot com
7:00
Speaker 5: for more information that spot. Can I give you a
7:02
Speaker 5: little honorable mention for who's not By the way, I
7:04
Speaker 5: saw this stat from the Marlins White Sox series. Just
7:08
Speaker 5: nineteen six and eighty seven fans combined attended the three
7:11
Speaker 5: games between the Marlins and the White Sox in Miami.
7:14
Speaker 5: Game one at sixty five hundred, Game two at sixty six,
7:16
Speaker 5: and Game three at sixty.
7:17
Speaker 2: Five marks historic. Do a little Miami Marlins history. Ouch
7:21
Speaker 2: that's bad.
7:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, well even better, it's doubled up with Arman Mike
7:24
Speaker 5: Cube up in there. I don't know if you if
7:27
Speaker 5: you caught this one from the Marlins radio network, but
7:30
Speaker 5: John Boy Media was able to celebrate that with Sandiel Contra,
7:34
Speaker 5: who was celebrating yesterday in that series dominated complete game
7:38
Speaker 5: was phenomenal. This is how he sounded after they were
8:08
Speaker 5: at the house. They may not have been here, but they.
8:11
Speaker 1: Were all watching. I can feel them. I could not watch.
8:16
Speaker 1: It's amazing work there.
8:17
Speaker 2: I didn't glad you brought that.
8:20
Speaker 1: The fans were not here, but the lands were not here.
8:23
Speaker 1: But we still love them.
8:25
Speaker 5: At least somebody was man sixty six hundred people at
8:30
Speaker 5: a major League baseball game. They had they probably had
8:33
Speaker 5: sixty six hundred people working for that WBC game there.
8:36
Speaker 1: And three in a row. I mean, that's the thing.
8:38
Speaker 1: It wasn't just one bad one.
8:39
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just you know, we joked about
8:42
Speaker 2: you haven't heard contracting in a while. We joked about
8:44
Speaker 2: that a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they got a
8:46
Speaker 2: problem down there in Florida with the baseball teams relocation
8:50
Speaker 2: relegate the teams you have, but the teams that they Okay,
8:53
Speaker 2: I don't think Marl acting the team Maybe is a contract.
8:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, track like instead of well, you know who's hot,
8:59
Speaker 1: who's not, shout out Donovan Jargons and Donovan jar And
9:02
Speaker 1: they're not contracting. They're only expanded only absolutely that Cubs
9:07
Speaker 1: game yesterday was thirty nine degrees and it looked miserable. Yeah,
9:10
Speaker 1: when you see the full sche masks, or as the
9:13
Speaker 1: the high school kids are calling them, the shisties that
9:15
Speaker 1: they got to wear underneath their helmetslevel all the time
9:17
Speaker 1: you're rocking that with the baseball hat. That's a game
9:20
Speaker 1: that might need to get moved. They got it in.
9:22
Speaker 1: The White Sox have already canceled their game for today,
9:24
Speaker 1: their home opener.
9:25
Speaker 5: They get us out of here, and the fans were
9:27
Speaker 5: already talking about that drew on on Sunday when we
9:31
Speaker 5: were down there in the belly of a beast with
9:32
Speaker 5: a bunch of White Sox fans this past Sunday at
9:35
Speaker 5: American Family Field, They're like, well, we had to come
9:37
Speaker 5: here because we're not going to be able to go
9:39
Speaker 5: to any of the games next week because they're already
9:42
Speaker 5: they were already eyeing up and circling Thursday, as you
9:46
Speaker 5: might as well work because we're not getting that day
9:47
Speaker 5: off like we thought.
9:48
Speaker 1: When you might have to cancel for a month. This
9:50
Speaker 1: doesn't seem very functional. I don't know.
9:52
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of those things where I understand
9:54
Speaker 2: stadiums are what they are already so you're not gonna
9:56
Speaker 2: build a roup. But like we're already starting early enough.
9:58
Speaker 2: I mean, we start a week earlier this year. It
10:00
Speaker 2: just seems like, I guess this is part of life,
10:03
Speaker 2: this is part of baseball. We do this every spring.
10:05
Speaker 2: But man, it is just like we're gonna start earlier now.
10:08
Speaker 4: I don't know.
10:09
Speaker 1: It just seems wild to me. But what can you do.
10:11
Speaker 2: I guess Dave and Monona is in on the YouTube stream.
10:15
Speaker 2: Fun begin David Monona has arrived. I want to give
10:17
Speaker 2: Michelle all right. He was trying to find the YouTube stream.
10:20
Speaker 2: He's on the text line. So Dave, you're in. You're
10:22
Speaker 2: into the YouTube stream. Congratulations, all right, he made it.
10:25
Speaker 5: That's what I'm talking about. I love when we're able
10:27
Speaker 5: to grab more people into this, into the stream. Yeah,
10:29
Speaker 5: the video stream is growing every day.
10:31
Speaker 1: We're still hard to find. Yeah it is. We're getting there.
10:34
Speaker 1: We're getting there. I have your friends to find us.
10:36
Speaker 5: Friend Jake at the ballpark yesterday, he stopped me in
10:39
Speaker 5: the pretzel line, said I was fired up to find.
10:41
Speaker 1: When you guys all of a sudden came back on am.
10:43
Speaker 5: He was like, guys, I work at six am, so
10:46
Speaker 5: I get to go to work now with a show,
10:49
Speaker 5: then have you in the earbuds for the first two hours,
10:51
Speaker 5: which are potentially the worst two hours of work. So
10:54
Speaker 5: I was very excited to talk to Jake yesterday. He
10:57
Speaker 5: was even more pumped that we were on AM now too.
11:00
Speaker 1: He's like, he said, I missed you in the afternoons. Well,
11:01
Speaker 1: I'm doing mornings out. Instead of driving home with you,
11:03
Speaker 1: I'll drive to work with you. Okay, that's perfect. That
11:06
Speaker 1: works for me.
11:06
Speaker 5: It fires you up even better and we Either way,
11:09
Speaker 5: we can still celebrate Junior Camonaro. As our friend Joempewaukee said, Wait,
11:12
Speaker 5: who's not it's Junior Gammonaro with three errors. What also
11:16
Speaker 5: might be hot is the request line for a review
11:19
Speaker 5: on any of those he's gonna get.
11:21
Speaker 1: He's gonna lose all of those appeals because all appealing
11:24
Speaker 1: those I mean, my goodness, he should be buying his
11:27
Speaker 1: his Pitcher's steak dinners for not for making their life
11:31
Speaker 1: more miserable. Man, excuse me, guys, I'm sorry.
11:34
Speaker 5: I apologize, but that's what happens when you throw me
11:36
Speaker 5: the first base glove right after having the third one.
11:38
Speaker 1: But I wasn't used to it. I thought the Brewers
11:40
Speaker 1: with the yellwich bunt, which, by the way, how perfect
11:44
Speaker 1: was that? Oh my god, tremendous. It couldn't have sat on,
11:46
Speaker 1: that's his way on and then squeezes one through the
11:48
Speaker 1: infield for the dagger, right, you know, for the just goorelow. Yeah,
11:52
Speaker 1: that was pretty good stuff. Yesterday, Brewers are rolling looking
11:55
Speaker 1: forward to talking to Hunter Bombguart very soon. It was
11:58
Speaker 1: April Fools yesterday and they had the pro day at
12:01
Speaker 1: Indiana and I saw I look over Billy's shoulder and
12:06
Speaker 1: I could see the worldwide leader in sports, the Four
12:08
Speaker 1: Letter Network. Oh God, just glaze him. And they said
12:11
Speaker 1: thirty two teams here to see Francisco Mendoza Pro Day.
12:14
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there ain't thirty two teams there for him? Now,
12:18
Speaker 1: there's one team there for him. Yeah, correct, But they
12:21
Speaker 1: have other players, yes, a lot of they won a
12:24
Speaker 1: national championship. So the thirty two teams there are not
12:27
Speaker 1: there to watch a quarterback that they won't be able
12:29
Speaker 1: to draft.
12:30
Speaker 5: No, and also layer for the other guys. And I
12:33
Speaker 5: just I do appreciate it. Fernando's phenomenal, right, Like he
12:36
Speaker 5: had a phenomenal year. I think he's going to be
12:39
Speaker 5: a very good pro but the over the top, like
12:43
Speaker 5: just lam basting of anything that's not Mendoza's the greatest
12:47
Speaker 5: prospect that we've seen in a long time. He's not
12:49
Speaker 5: the best quarterback prospect we've seen in a long time.
12:51
Speaker 1: No, I would.
12:52
Speaker 5: I mean, like, yeah, if you looked at the May
12:55
Speaker 5: Williams Daniels class, I don't know that he goes in
12:58
Speaker 5: the top three, right, Like, he's probably the worth guy
13:00
Speaker 5: taken out of that group.
13:01
Speaker 1: And that's not a bad place to be because guess
13:04
Speaker 1: where the fifth.
13:04
Speaker 5: Guy went to the AFC title game this year in
13:07
Speaker 5: box right, Like, it doesn't necessarily equate to you being
13:11
Speaker 5: a dominant NFL player, but Drewe, it's so true. Omar
13:14
Speaker 5: Cooper Junior is phenomenal. The running backs that they have, tremendous,
13:17
Speaker 5: the defense that helped lead them to the national title
13:20
Speaker 5: when that offense had six points in the Big Ten
13:23
Speaker 5: Championship game through three quarters. They got a lot of
13:26
Speaker 5: guys that are gonna play on Sundays and not just
13:29
Speaker 5: one dude who is very good and was very very
13:34
Speaker 5: had a lot of intestinal fortitude, played ball zy in
13:36
Speaker 5: the big moments.
13:37
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.
13:38
Speaker 5: He's going to go number one, even though Dani Rolowski
13:41
Speaker 5: might not think he should.
13:42
Speaker 1: He's gonna go number one.
13:43
Speaker 5: You're right, the Raiders were there, but I don't think
13:46
Speaker 5: the Cowboys were there to watch Fernando throw the football.
13:49
Speaker 5: They were looking to see how much we were able
13:52
Speaker 5: to get of Surrat catching the football from Mendoza.
13:56
Speaker 1: Or how about Riley Nowakowski showing up a little pro day.
14:00
Speaker 1: I like seeing that one.
14:01
Speaker 2: Heyley, yes, at least, Orlosky little credit. He says Ty
14:04
Speaker 2: Simpsons the best quarterback in this draft. That he's been
14:07
Speaker 2: consistent on that so and he has been getting getting
14:10
Speaker 2: road And that's the problem, Billy. It's the group think,
14:13
Speaker 2: Like if one person dares to say something different, he's
14:16
Speaker 2: getting dragged for it.
14:17
Speaker 1: That's why people are well. I think that's.
14:19
Speaker 5: Also when you go on, when you go on Pats
14:22
Speaker 5: Show and say anything that's not Fernando Mendoza is the
14:25
Speaker 5: greatest player that's ever played professional football.
14:27
Speaker 1: And then I get on you, Yeah, did you even watch?
14:30
Speaker 1: Did you even watch?
14:31
Speaker 5: Yes, we all watched. We all watched him make good throws.
14:35
Speaker 5: Like no one's saying he's not a good player. But
14:37
Speaker 5: I think that there's a there's levels to it, and
14:39
Speaker 5: like you've seen a number of different guys raise their
14:42
Speaker 5: level of play in the big moments. That's that's absolutely
14:45
Speaker 5: a trait. The Raiders are going to be pumped to
14:47
Speaker 5: get Mendoza, but uh, all of it thrown up on
14:52
Speaker 5: just being verbally thrown at you throughout for the four
14:54
Speaker 5: Letter Network.
14:55
Speaker 1: Tough.
14:56
Speaker 5: Also, you had no reprieve from me yesterday because yesterday
14:59
Speaker 5: was the first day of the four Letter Network taking
15:02
Speaker 5: over the three letter network that I love so much. Yeah,
15:06
Speaker 5: yesterday was the first day of ESPN owning the NFL network.
15:09
Speaker 5: I'll tell you I did not watch. I did I protest, approached.
15:13
Speaker 5: I just took a day with Billy hold along. They felt,
15:16
Speaker 5: they felt that I could. I knew that they felt
15:19
Speaker 5: my silent protest. It's not like I'm very much against
15:22
Speaker 5: it and like there's some big moral issue to it.
15:24
Speaker 5: But the network's already changed so much, and I don't
15:27
Speaker 5: want to see my man Tom Pella Sero working with
15:31
Speaker 5: all due respect with Adam Schefter. I want to see
15:33
Speaker 5: my NFL network guys working with the NFL network, and
15:37
Speaker 5: I already have to deal with it with Peter Schrager
15:38
Speaker 5: now on ESPN and confuse me.
15:40
Speaker 1: Just keep my guys on the same spot.
15:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, just run old the NFL films, your books, team
15:45
Speaker 2: of your books. That's all we need from that.
15:46
Speaker 1: Well that's fair, Billy. I mean, you know the show.
15:51
Speaker 1: You leave the show and watch Good Morning Football.
15:55
Speaker 2: I used to I used to be watching those were
15:58
Speaker 2: the days, right, But for like, I love professional wrestling.
16:02
Speaker 2: Why the hell is Seth Rollins co hosting Good Morning Football?
16:06
Speaker 1: Seth? You got WrestleMania in three weeks? All right?
16:08
Speaker 5: You get your ass off of that show. You get
16:10
Speaker 5: yourself into the gym and get yourself into a coffee pot.
16:12
Speaker 5: We need to get more man Titeo takes out of
16:15
Speaker 5: here that there's a that's a show that definitely went
16:17
Speaker 5: down down a different different level when Nate Burlison and
16:22
Speaker 5: the guts of.
16:22
Speaker 1: It ended up getting ripped.
16:24
Speaker 5: That that is a sensitive subject for one that I've
16:27
Speaker 5: enjoyed so long.
16:30
Speaker 1: Last thing on the NFL. Because we're gonna shift gears
16:32
Speaker 1: to baseball when Hunter arrives. But could the Packers peel
16:36
Speaker 1: off one of the receivers of the rams going to
16:38
Speaker 1: be in the market now that poop and the couas
16:39
Speaker 1: and rehab and his status is a little uncertain. They
16:43
Speaker 1: need some depth there going for the bread far career.
16:46
Speaker 5: Mark Well, it might uh it might make sense then
16:48
Speaker 5: why they didn't trade DeVante Adams they met. Sean McVay
16:52
Speaker 5: said it at his breakfast table. He's like, yeah, yeah,
16:55
Speaker 5: we we negotiated with teams to trade for trade Vonte.
16:58
Speaker 5: We're not trading him because we love them so much.
17:00
Speaker 5: But I did tell him that we did.
17:02
Speaker 1: Might they need another They had to realize that's a
17:05
Speaker 1: uh that's a little fascinating situation. Day day three pick
17:09
Speaker 1: for don Tavian Wicks or something or like that. You
17:11
Speaker 1: know who would you peel off?
17:13
Speaker 2: Uh?
17:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that would be the easiest one to replace.
17:16
Speaker 5: But the Rams have drafted too well in the third round.
17:18
Speaker 5: Now they are into day three. Pooka was in line
17:22
Speaker 5: for the top JSN and even Lesnane said, before you
17:26
Speaker 5: make that kind of financial commitment, we not to make
17:28
Speaker 5: sure the personal sides all figured out.
17:30
Speaker 1: That's big.
17:30
Speaker 5: You want to talk about the amount of money that
17:32
Speaker 5: potentially was lost there for one Puka and a cool
17:35
Speaker 5: he's in a lawsuit.
17:36
Speaker 1: It is a wild situation. He wanted to get his
17:38
Speaker 1: name in the rehab headlines.
17:40
Speaker 2: Today because Tiger has stolen all of them, so he
17:42
Speaker 2: wanted to get in there. So you know, I think
17:44
Speaker 2: that's part Well, I mean, and Tiger's going out of
17:47
Speaker 2: the country for rehab now I saw, yeah, got permission
17:50
Speaker 2: to leave, which I think is interesting. So the thing
17:53
Speaker 2: with Pooka is this episode and the timing of it
17:55
Speaker 2: is right when he wants the extension.
17:57
Speaker 1: Right, wants the extension?
17:59
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I was wondering, like a different stratosphere of
18:02
Speaker 5: extension too, drew like forty plus million.
18:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jackson Smith and jigbfeel but he's looking for that.
18:08
Speaker 1: And like I just when I saw right, he's going
18:10
Speaker 1: to rehab. Is this eyewash? Is it just to help
18:12
Speaker 1: him with the suit? Does it to help you know?
18:14
Speaker 1: Sway the public opinion? Is it legit?
18:18
Speaker 5: I don't know, the very always skeptical. Yeah, all of
18:21
Speaker 5: those are on the table. And as somebody that has
18:24
Speaker 5: been tied to Pooka Nakua in a very very important
18:27
Speaker 5: dynasty Fantasy football league since he came into the league
18:30
Speaker 5: from BYU, we want to make that we want that
18:32
Speaker 5: to figure it out. We want we want Pooka to
18:34
Speaker 5: figured out because he's good for ball when he's talking
18:36
Speaker 5: having fun. He is a good person to have in
18:39
Speaker 5: the NFL. No, we want to make sure that we
18:40
Speaker 5: clean this stuffup because we get me biting people absolutely fun.
18:43
Speaker 5: All right, can't be watching these Twilight movies taking it
18:46
Speaker 5: to real life, Pooka, our pal, Hunter bomb Guard, Team
18:48
Speaker 5: Jacob and Team Edward is not in real life, exactly true.

19:36
Speaker 1: Baseball Tonight, Hunter Bombguard joins us. Hunter, thank you for
19:39
Speaker 1: waking up early. How you doing, Oh, Hunters muted? Come on, Hunter,
19:47
Speaker 1: hit the button armment at.
19:49
Speaker 4: One of these weeks. I'm not gonna mute my own.
19:53
Speaker 3: I don't put that on you, don't put that on
19:54
Speaker 3: your Hopefully next week, I'm great. How are you guys?
19:58
Speaker 1: Great? Better?
19:59
Speaker 2: Now we're great? Everything's good. The Brewers are five and one.
20:03
Speaker 2: It couldn't be well. It could be better, but not
20:05
Speaker 2: much better, not.
20:05
Speaker 1: Much, not much. Things fell their way on the homestand
20:10
Speaker 1: and especially yesterday. But Hunter, the theme that I keep
20:13
Speaker 1: harping on and I keep pounting on is how good
20:15
Speaker 1: the Brewers bullpen has been. That to me is the
20:17
Speaker 1: backbone of this operation right now.
20:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and I asked Christian Yelich that in
20:22
Speaker 3: the clubhouse yesterday. Like, you guys have had good bullpens
20:26
Speaker 3: over the years, right, They've had a lot of good
20:28
Speaker 3: pitchers come through that bullpen. But you know, what does
20:31
Speaker 3: it mean to you guys as an offense to know
20:33
Speaker 3: they're going to keep you in the game. As much
20:35
Speaker 3: as the offense has been really good and they are
20:38
Speaker 3: tied for the.
20:39
Speaker 4: League lead, a major league lead in.
20:41
Speaker 3: Runs and everything like that, that bullpen has kept them
20:45
Speaker 3: in games that allowed them to either come back or
20:46
Speaker 3: if the game is tied, take the lead late and
20:50
Speaker 3: Yelich is like, yeah, that's kind of our formula, right,
20:52
Speaker 3: and somehow get it to the back end guys at
20:54
Speaker 3: the end to go and win us the game.
20:56
Speaker 4: And sometimes that's been the formula. Sometimes it's been even.
20:59
Speaker 3: Hey, a six run lead, let's get it to dl
21:01
Speaker 3: Hall to finish things off yesterday. So they have had
21:04
Speaker 3: that formula for years and it's working again. That's what
21:06
Speaker 3: That's what the Brewers are doing. They seem to be
21:08
Speaker 3: using kind of every formula they've used in the past
21:12
Speaker 3: and putting it all together in these first six games.
21:14
Speaker 3: Now what will happen over the next one hundred and
21:16
Speaker 3: fifty six remains to be seen. That's a really good
21:19
Speaker 3: sign for a team that knows exactly how they need
21:22
Speaker 3: to win, has proved that it's worked over the last
21:25
Speaker 3: two years, and now they're just going out with the
21:27
Speaker 3: confidence of every every year that has happened in the
21:30
Speaker 3: past behind them, it seems, and going out and winning well.
21:33
Speaker 5: And I think the overarching theme from this show has
21:36
Speaker 5: also been Brewers gonna be hard to not be better
21:40
Speaker 5: than they were last year in terms of like the
21:42
Speaker 5: individual talents, but gonna be hard to beat ninety seven wins, right,
21:47
Speaker 5: But Hunter, what you just mentioned is they've taken the
21:49
Speaker 5: identity from twenty nine to five and like Patrick Starza
21:52
Speaker 5: wan we just move it over here, they've been able
21:55
Speaker 5: to move into twenty twenty six. That's not an easy
21:58
Speaker 5: thing to do, to just be able to pick up
22:01
Speaker 5: where you left off. I know they got a lot
22:03
Speaker 5: of the same pieces, they infuse a little bit of
22:06
Speaker 5: other spices into the mix. Of Luis Brendifo is a
22:10
Speaker 5: veteran that's been around but fits into their culture right
22:13
Speaker 5: out of the gates because he sits the first two days.
22:15
Speaker 1: Same with David Hamilton.
22:16
Speaker 5: Like it's a tough thing to just pick up where
22:19
Speaker 5: you left off, but it does appear while learning how
22:22
Speaker 5: to win a little bit differently. Maybe this year they
22:25
Speaker 5: have been able to build off of everything they were
22:28
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five.
22:30
Speaker 3: Exactly like you said, ninety seven wins is gonna be
22:32
Speaker 3: hard to replicate. Obviously, five and one is better than
22:35
Speaker 3: zho and four to start the year, which is which
22:37
Speaker 3: is a good thing. Uh, But yeah, I think that
22:40
Speaker 3: that's it. I mean, I did this team knows what
22:42
Speaker 3: their identity is. I mean these team, these guys that
22:44
Speaker 3: have been around, right, the Bryce Terrans, the salth Freeliks,
22:47
Speaker 3: the obviously Christian Yelich has been around a while. But
22:51
Speaker 3: these guys that have been and you know, even even
22:54
Speaker 3: a guy who's been there, Blake Perkins, who's up with
22:56
Speaker 3: the major league club right now, like these in Lockridge,
22:58
Speaker 3: who is with there for a couple of months. Last
23:00
Speaker 3: year when they obviously went through some of those winning streaks,
23:02
Speaker 3: I mean their fourteen game winning streak, Lockridge was in
23:05
Speaker 3: it because Churio was hurt, right, So they've had these
23:08
Speaker 3: guys who know their identity and the lineup, like you said,
23:13
Speaker 3: like it's probably better than it was last year if
23:16
Speaker 3: you have Vaughan and Churio in its last night, I mean,
23:19
Speaker 3: going later into that game, you had the last bottom
23:22
Speaker 3: of four or your order were i think like zero
23:24
Speaker 3: for eleven, oh for twelve, like they were not having
23:26
Speaker 3: a great day. But then it only was a matter
23:28
Speaker 3: of time. And it's rare that you're gonna have a
23:30
Speaker 3: day where that whole bottom of the lineup or or
23:34
Speaker 3: or a portion of your lineup is not hitting throughout
23:36
Speaker 3: nine innings. Right it may happen through six or seven, right,
23:39
Speaker 3: Shane McClanahan was doing really good. I think took a
23:41
Speaker 3: no hitter into the fifth or sixth the other night,
23:44
Speaker 3: and then Rasmussen was doing well as well. But eventually
23:48
Speaker 3: they're gonna put pressure on you. And once you get
23:50
Speaker 3: that pressure started, once those guys are on base, once
23:54
Speaker 3: they start swiping bases. They lead majors in stolen bases
23:57
Speaker 3: at fifteen right now. That ex closest is the Rockies
23:59
Speaker 3: at ten and they're swiping bases again. And once they
24:02
Speaker 3: start doing that, that's going to be hard for pitchers
24:05
Speaker 3: and catchers to stop. And then it kind of seems
24:07
Speaker 3: to snowball from there. Through these first six games.
24:09
Speaker 1: We are chatting with Hunter Bombguard, our baseball go to
24:11
Speaker 1: guy shows at six o'clock tonight.
24:13
Speaker 3: Hunter, Yeah, shows at six o'clock tonight. We'll recap the
24:17
Speaker 3: week and look ahead to the weekend in Kansas City
24:19
Speaker 3: for the Brewers.
24:20
Speaker 2: Has anything surprised you yet from this lineup or from
24:23
Speaker 2: this pitching staff? Hunter, would you say there's a one
24:25
Speaker 2: that thing that surprised you the most about the start
24:27
Speaker 2: for the Brewers or is it you know they had
24:30
Speaker 2: done like you said, a lot of what we expected,
24:32
Speaker 2: but maybe some things that you haven't expected.
24:36
Speaker 3: I didn't necessarily. I mean, the offense looked pretty good
24:41
Speaker 3: coming into the season. I don't know if I thought
24:43
Speaker 3: they'd average seven and a half runs over the first
24:45
Speaker 3: six games. Sure, like that is it's one thing to
24:47
Speaker 3: do that over a series, right, and one thing to
24:49
Speaker 3: do it against the White Sox, and now they're to
24:51
Speaker 3: start doing it again against the Rays, and then you know,
24:53
Speaker 3: we'll see how the rest goes.
24:55
Speaker 4: And I know the Rays aren't.
24:56
Speaker 3: Going to be the Dodgers, but it's it's it's I think,
24:58
Speaker 3: a step up and their record will be better than
25:00
Speaker 3: the White Sox.
25:01
Speaker 4: They're a pesky team.
25:02
Speaker 3: The Race play a little bit of the same style
25:04
Speaker 3: that the Brewers do, and we saw a little bit
25:06
Speaker 3: of that as well, so that I think a little bit.
25:09
Speaker 3: But also through one turn in the rotation, those starters
25:12
Speaker 3: other than maybe brand other than Brandon Sprote, obviously we're
25:16
Speaker 3: pretty good.
25:17
Speaker 4: I think.
25:18
Speaker 3: Also, I think the bullpen probably if I were to
25:21
Speaker 3: pinpoint one thing that is most surprising, not because they
25:24
Speaker 3: weren't good, but they relied on the same guys for
25:27
Speaker 3: a few years, and eventually those arms seem to turn
25:30
Speaker 3: over more right, the Jared Knings of the world, the
25:32
Speaker 3: Grant Anderson's of the world. Grant Anderson has pitched really
25:36
Speaker 3: well over five innings four games so far, and he's
25:40
Speaker 3: been putting some leverage spots yesterday in a tie ball
25:42
Speaker 3: game in the seventh inning, so to be able to
25:45
Speaker 3: rely on more guys than not in that and that bullpen,
25:50
Speaker 3: guys like Woodford who have come in and done well.
25:52
Speaker 3: DL Hall, Aaron Ashby's done what he did last year
25:56
Speaker 3: so far. And Trevor McGill. Obviously you had the hiccup
26:00
Speaker 3: the other night. But the only lost by the brus
26:03
Speaker 3: right now is by one run and that is by
26:05
Speaker 3: a you know, two out double that Trevor McGill left
26:08
Speaker 3: a high fastball up and Fortes loves high fastballs. And
26:10
Speaker 3: that's the difference between a five and one and a
26:12
Speaker 3: six and oh team right now. It's not like, you know,
26:15
Speaker 3: not like they're and it's not like they're winning kind
26:16
Speaker 3: of just by the skin of their teeth either. They
26:19
Speaker 3: got a fourteen to two win in there, they got
26:21
Speaker 3: an eight two win in there, they got a nine
26:22
Speaker 3: to seven like they've won a bunch of different ways
26:24
Speaker 3: Bryce Terraang said that in the clubhouse yesterday.
26:26
Speaker 4: It's like, we're showing we can win in a bunch
26:28
Speaker 4: of different ways.
26:28
Speaker 3: So surprising, I'd say the bullpen. But I shouldn't be
26:31
Speaker 3: surprised because the Birds bullpen has been good for so
26:33
Speaker 3: many years. But I'd say just for this twenty six team,
26:37
Speaker 3: that was kind of like, Okay, how are the pieces
26:39
Speaker 3: going to fit?
26:39
Speaker 4: So far? They're fitting really well.
26:41
Speaker 1: Hunter, you mentioned Bryce Terrang just there? Is it just me?
26:45
Speaker 1: Is he getting to be more talkative? Is he getting
26:48
Speaker 1: more comfortable being interviewed a little bit? Did the World
26:50
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic experience being around those guys as he's settling in,
26:54
Speaker 1: because the joke amongst uss in the media was he
26:57
Speaker 1: was not a go to guy for pithy postgame comments.
27:02
Speaker 1: Is he improving in that regard?
27:04
Speaker 3: I think if you're gonna be as good as Bryce
27:06
Speaker 3: Terrang has been, you kind of need to be a
27:07
Speaker 3: go to guy in the clubhouse. And that's what it's
27:10
Speaker 3: proven to be because that guy is just hitting the
27:12
Speaker 3: cover off the baseball. I was at that home run yesterday,
27:16
Speaker 3: I was kind of I just was marveling. His swing
27:19
Speaker 3: just looks so easy, and I know, there's a lot
27:21
Speaker 3: to it, and there's you know, they work on this
27:23
Speaker 3: stuff every every day and every night, and they're getting
27:26
Speaker 3: better and through spring training in the off season all that.
27:29
Speaker 3: But boy, it just looks like sometimes he puts the
27:31
Speaker 3: bat out there and it just the ball just soars
27:34
Speaker 3: and it sorts over the fence. And so, yeah, I
27:37
Speaker 3: think he is I enjoy Yeah, he's definitely coming up
27:40
Speaker 3: with more, you know, and he was a lot of
27:42
Speaker 3: you know, cliches earlier in his career, the last couple
27:45
Speaker 3: of years maybe, but it does seem that he is
27:47
Speaker 3: coming up with, you know, maybe a little more thoughtful answers,
27:50
Speaker 3: and we see that with a lot with players.
27:51
Speaker 4: It's not just.
27:52
Speaker 3: Maybe Bryce Terrain, but Bryce Terrang I think maybe was
27:54
Speaker 3: more of an extreme example of just kind of going
27:57
Speaker 3: through the flow of an interview and talking more in
27:59
Speaker 3: the ciche realm. But now you can know that when
28:02
Speaker 3: you talk to him, you're gonna get more of a
28:04
Speaker 3: thoughtful answer, You're gonna get kind of what's what's going on,
28:07
Speaker 3: you know, more in the mind of Bryce Terrang, which
28:09
Speaker 3: I think we all are interested in because of how
28:11
Speaker 3: good he is right now. Uh, And and turning into
28:14
Speaker 3: I mean it's like he hits the home run and
28:16
Speaker 3: then the next inning he makes a diving stop. I mean,
28:18
Speaker 3: it's just that that type of stuff. And then you
28:20
Speaker 3: go to the and I think one thing that's kind
28:22
Speaker 3: of unsung here. The top of the eighth inning ends
28:24
Speaker 3: in a double play that Ortiz gets to a ball
28:27
Speaker 3: that you know he got. He makes it look easy,
28:30
Speaker 3: but not every short stop is going to get to
28:32
Speaker 3: that ball, right. It's a double play quickly turned by
28:35
Speaker 3: Bryce Terrang who makes a fantastic turn at second. Then
28:38
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's a six run inning in
28:39
Speaker 3: the bottom of it that gets through. It's one out
28:41
Speaker 3: in the race of two off. Yeah, and so like
28:43
Speaker 3: I just these these things that are it's offense turning
28:46
Speaker 3: into defense, it's defense turning into offense. Like however you
28:50
Speaker 3: want to spin it, it's just complimentary right now. And
28:53
Speaker 3: so Bryce ter Rang, obviously we know he's good at
28:55
Speaker 3: every level, but boy, it just that that that stock
28:59
Speaker 3: continues to go towards the mood.
29:01
Speaker 1: I love it. Hunter. What was the reaction? Obviously, it
29:05
Speaker 1: was a scary moment when Cebe Buckner got hit and
29:07
Speaker 1: had to exit and the umpires had to make it
29:09
Speaker 1: with a three man crew, probably for the first time
29:11
Speaker 1: since there were double a Did any players talk about that?
29:14
Speaker 1: Because I thought the interesting thing was that, for all
29:17
Speaker 1: of the recent headlines and the jokes on social media,
29:21
Speaker 1: when he got hit, Cebe Buckner was having a perfect game.
29:23
Speaker 1: He was like, granted we were in the top of
29:25
Speaker 1: the second inning, plenty of time to see be it,
29:28
Speaker 1: but yeah, we were at it inning in two thirds
29:30
Speaker 1: so far. But he hadn't missed the pitch, like he
29:34
Speaker 1: hadn't had a challenge, and he hadn't really hadn't agreed
29:36
Speaker 1: just miss and then he got knocked out of the game.
29:37
Speaker 1: Did any of the players reacted? You talk to Contraras
29:40
Speaker 1: or anybody about it?
29:42
Speaker 3: Didn't talk to Contras's when we talked to Yelich and
29:44
Speaker 3: Mizerowski both about it, and they were just like, yeah,
29:47
Speaker 3: didn't love seeing that. I think MS was a little
29:49
Speaker 3: shook up about that.
29:50
Speaker 4: And I'm sure you can't be.
29:52
Speaker 3: You throw one hundred miles an hour and the ball's
29:54
Speaker 3: faul tipped and it hits him, and he see Cebe's
29:56
Speaker 3: reaction and no matter what happened the night before, you
29:59
Speaker 3: never wanted that, And so yeah, it's unfortunate just and
30:03
Speaker 3: at first it's like, you know, a lot of those
30:05
Speaker 3: guys will just get hit and they'll keep going. They'll
30:07
Speaker 3: be like, oh yeah, sure, you know they're they're for
30:09
Speaker 3: better for worse. But this was smart decision. I mean,
30:13
Speaker 3: one hundred to the to the face mask.
30:15
Speaker 5: He rocked Meres gave the wave over to the trainers,
30:18
Speaker 5: sound like, hey, somebody better get over her.
30:20
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not training doing that. And I thought
30:22
Speaker 1: there was a tell, like, first of all you saw,
30:25
Speaker 1: was it Chad Fairburn, the first base goes down, start
30:27
Speaker 1: walking inside, he goes to get the gear on, so
30:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a change. So it's like a twenty
30:31
Speaker 1: minute delay. But then when they walked him off, the
30:33
Speaker 1: Brewers medical guys, the athletic trainers, they helped him down
30:38
Speaker 1: through the Brewers side. Now the Umpire's clubhouse is through
30:41
Speaker 1: the visitors tunnel and you go through the third, but
30:43
Speaker 1: they took him to the Brewer so I mean, oh, he's
30:45
Speaker 1: getting further. They were doing more, or they're meeting. They're
30:47
Speaker 1: meeting the doctor and the Brewers club. This was out
30:50
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Well that was my take.
30:52
Speaker 2: One thing I said earlier in the show Hunter, and
30:54
Speaker 2: it's true. I mean, one thing we never expected is
30:57
Speaker 2: for CB Buckern be getting a standing ovation when he
30:59
Speaker 2: came out the field when we started that game, so
31:02
Speaker 2: that you never know what you're gonna first time in
31:04
Speaker 2: his career, never see never know what you'll see at
31:06
Speaker 2: the ball now. Our friend Boss Dobbler was ready to
31:09
Speaker 2: make the joke about Karen Mitchell and he's like, well,
31:11
Speaker 2: nice to see him at in and and factor in
31:14
Speaker 2: the The I R might be for salth Freelick over
31:16
Speaker 2: the next couple of days, because it does feel like
31:18
Speaker 2: he's trying to find it, find his way through. But
31:20
Speaker 2: when you try to get some confidence it we were
31:23
Speaker 2: talking about it yesterday. I almost feel bad for Garrett
31:26
Speaker 2: because he hasn't played in so long. It's got to
31:28
Speaker 2: be difficult to get a real rhythm when you play
31:32
Speaker 2: in so few games over the last number of years.
31:35
Speaker 2: But just confidence growing through the locker room, how do
31:38
Speaker 2: you feel like that's at with some of those guys
31:40
Speaker 2: who are in, you know, platoon situations where clearly talking
31:44
Speaker 2: about roles with the Packers, their role they would much
31:47
Speaker 2: prefer would be to be playing every single day.
31:50
Speaker 3: So far, it seems Hamilton and Renheitho have been doing
31:52
Speaker 3: a pretty good job of that of being able to
31:55
Speaker 3: be ready to go. Hamilton using that speed on the bases,
31:58
Speaker 3: drop it down a bunch different things like that. It
32:01
Speaker 3: seems they're still engaged and ready to go when their
32:04
Speaker 3: number is called centerfield. Really too, I think, yeah, some
32:09
Speaker 3: of Garrett Mitchell's at bats have not looked great. I mean,
32:11
Speaker 3: be honest with you, I think he'd tell you that.
32:14
Speaker 3: But he's also, like he said, getting the feel for it.
32:17
Speaker 3: It's one thing to go through spring training, it's another
32:19
Speaker 3: to be in the regular season. I think that double
32:21
Speaker 3: yesterday is huge. I think it's huge for his confidence.
32:24
Speaker 3: I think it's it's you know, maybe even the in
32:26
Speaker 3: the coaching staff as well, because some of those strikeouts
32:29
Speaker 3: and some of those walls he's watching down the bed
32:31
Speaker 3: just doesn't seem like a like a like Garrett Mitchell
32:34
Speaker 3: kind of right, And so I think that that double
32:37
Speaker 3: down the line will help him. I think seal free
32:39
Speaker 3: like right, there's not not all nine guys in this
32:41
Speaker 3: lineup are going to come into the season and be hitting.
32:44
Speaker 3: I mean, most of them are, it seems through the
32:46
Speaker 3: first six games. But there's gonna be a guy or
32:49
Speaker 3: two who are not going to have a great hot start.
32:51
Speaker 3: And I think Freelick has like three hits so far
32:54
Speaker 3: in the first six games, which obviously we know he's
32:56
Speaker 3: he's better than that, one of them being that home
32:57
Speaker 3: run on opening Day. But I have a confidence that
33:01
Speaker 3: will turn around. So it is it'll be interesting because
33:04
Speaker 3: I think they still and they bet you know, Garrett
33:06
Speaker 3: Mitchell has hit fifth in that lineup at times so
33:09
Speaker 3: far this season. I think there is still an effort
33:12
Speaker 3: to get him at bats and get him in that lineup. Now,
33:16
Speaker 3: Lockridge had a good spring and they're obviously putting him
33:18
Speaker 3: in there too, and with obviously Churio out there, they're
33:22
Speaker 3: putting him in left sometimes. So you could see that
33:24
Speaker 3: Perkins was in there yesterday. But I do think they're
33:28
Speaker 3: look the Brewers, this is how they win. They use
33:31
Speaker 3: every ban on that roster, whether it's the bullpen, whether
33:33
Speaker 3: it's the starters, whether it's the you know, the offensive players,
33:37
Speaker 3: and so I think you know that when you come
33:38
Speaker 3: into the Brewers that you know, unless you're maybe a
33:41
Speaker 3: Bryce terrang right, who's gonna play every day, otherwise you
33:44
Speaker 3: look at every self. Freelick and Bryce Terrang and then
33:49
Speaker 3: obviously Contrayer's behind the plate. But that's only three of
33:51
Speaker 3: your eight guys offensively that are like locked in every day. Otherwise,
33:56
Speaker 3: you know Bowers is probably gonna but you probably play
33:59
Speaker 3: Sanchez against the lefty, and then shortstop has even been
34:02
Speaker 3: kind of a platoon. They like to get Hamiltons and
34:04
Speaker 3: playing time over their third base has been every other
34:06
Speaker 3: and and and left and center is kind of who's.
34:09
Speaker 4: Going to play there.
34:09
Speaker 3: So they've really moved stuff, moved things around offensively, and
34:13
Speaker 3: it seems it's worked through the first six games because
34:15
Speaker 3: their offense is still humming no matter who is in there.
34:18
Speaker 1: Hunter, you mentioned Jackson Turio. It strikes me that it
34:22
Speaker 1: was a week ago today that we found out that
34:24
Speaker 1: Churio is going to be on the shelf to start
34:28
Speaker 1: the season. Stunning news. Brewers five and one without him,
34:31
Speaker 1: But that's a good opportunity for Hunter. It's been through
34:33
Speaker 1: the earth Beedic Associates of Wisconsin Injury Report Arthowisconsin dot com.
34:37
Speaker 1: Orth Betica Associates of Wisconsin. There is a difference the
34:40
Speaker 1: best in the business world class care right here close
34:42
Speaker 1: to home. Hunter, what's the outlook is Chario doing anything.
34:46
Speaker 1: Have you any updates on some of the injured fellas
34:49
Speaker 1: and maybe even the guys that are throwing, you know,
34:52
Speaker 1: pitching in Arizona at this point.
34:55
Speaker 4: Yes, I got some of it right in front of
34:57
Speaker 4: you here, folks.
34:58
Speaker 1: Come. He was ready for the Critic Associations update.
35:03
Speaker 3: Yes, Churio is receiving conservative care on his fracture. His
35:09
Speaker 3: ESME returns still mid to late April, so originally.
35:13
Speaker 4: Two to four weeks.
35:14
Speaker 3: Two is probably on the you know, probably not gonna
35:16
Speaker 3: happen because two weeks would be April ninth, So I
35:18
Speaker 3: would guess any time between the sixteenth.
35:21
Speaker 4: And the thirtieth for Jackson Churio. Let's see here.
35:24
Speaker 3: Logan Henderson pitched, well, he's still building up in Nashville,
35:28
Speaker 3: but he had that elbow soreness, but he's doing better.
35:31
Speaker 3: Priester is gonna so he's traveling to Arizona now and
35:35
Speaker 3: start his live BP phase. So he's basically restarting spring training.
35:39
Speaker 3: So he's he's doing exactly what the pitchers would do.
35:43
Speaker 3: Maybe not exactly because he's come back from an injury,
35:45
Speaker 3: but pretty close to what the pictures did in spring training.
35:47
Speaker 3: Right live BP pitch in the game build up, so
35:51
Speaker 3: hoping to get to Nashville to begin a rehab assignment.
35:55
Speaker 4: It says early April, so.
35:56
Speaker 3: I would think in a week and a half maybe
35:59
Speaker 3: ten days, you'll see him and Nashville. Quinn Priester seems
36:03
Speaker 3: all things are going well there. Andrew Vaughn had that surgery.
36:06
Speaker 3: His estimated return is mid May. Greg Johos protected to
36:10
Speaker 3: return mid to late April. His first bullpen scheduled for today.
36:13
Speaker 3: Rob Z rob zis Tristy has started his rehab assignment
36:17
Speaker 3: in Nashville, so has Stewart Baroa Uh and also a
36:21
Speaker 3: Quiel Badu still in June his return there. So those
36:25
Speaker 3: are your Those are your updates there on all of
36:28
Speaker 3: the Brewers that are currently rehabbing.
36:31
Speaker 2: Hunter doing the digging in the research to make sure
36:33
Speaker 2: every guy and all the medical records.
36:35
Speaker 1: Well Orthowisconsin dot Com worth the Betic Associates of Wisconsin.
36:38
Speaker 1: There is a difference what a list of guys on
36:41
Speaker 1: a five and one team that still have to come
36:42
Speaker 1: back too. That's the thing I take away from that.
36:44
Speaker 1: The cavalry is coming. I mean, my goodness, yeah and
36:48
Speaker 1: well yeah, when Vaughn and Uh and Cherio, Yeah, Quinn. Yeah,
36:53
Speaker 1: only lengthens that lineup. Here's one for you. I will
36:57
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this hunter because a friend of
36:58
Speaker 1: mine is coming in town at the end of the
37:00
Speaker 1: month and he's looking at the pitching matchups. Yesterday Miserowski,
37:03
Speaker 1: we're still on the like Miserowski and Scheens both pitched yesterday.
37:07
Speaker 2: M hmm.
37:07
Speaker 1: Pirates come to town at the end of the month.
37:09
Speaker 1: He's like, what's the chances that they line up? And
37:11
Speaker 1: I was doing the every five day thing. If they
37:13
Speaker 1: stayed on five man rotation, tell me Sunday with the
37:16
Speaker 1: off days, it would be the Sunday game of the
37:18
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh But there's Brewers have four off days between now
37:22
Speaker 1: and then. They're gonna slide. Guys, there's I said, bet
37:25
Speaker 1: the under like you might miss them both in the series.
37:29
Speaker 5: Just don't be on Saturday because I gotta watch Day
37:31
Speaker 5: four or Day three of the NFL Draft on that Saturday.
37:34
Speaker 5: So if they're gonna pitch that matchup, do it on Sunday.
37:36
Speaker 5: Come on, Hey, my wife leaves that day so I
37:38
Speaker 5: can go and have a talk about a liking kick
37:40
Speaker 5: off of the Skans Misserowski day.
37:42
Speaker 1: But that's that's a couple of weeks on the row,
37:44
Speaker 1: we can start doing the math. Like ten days out,
37:46
Speaker 1: we can start forecasting that mix. I told him that
37:49
Speaker 1: would be great, but bet the under.
37:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it'd be great to have Miserowski pitch
37:53
Speaker 3: in the series. If you don't Fee Scheens, I don't
37:56
Speaker 3: know if I'm gonna be too broken up about it.
37:58
Speaker 3: From a Brewer's side of things, we'd love to see it. Obviously,
38:01
Speaker 3: another Miss Schemes matchup would be awesome. I'd be great
38:04
Speaker 3: for the story. But if you're the Brewers and you
38:05
Speaker 3: miss Skiings, it's like, oh darn it, Oh snap, Miss Skiens.
38:10
Speaker 5: Yeah darn, what do you mean we got another chance
38:12
Speaker 5: to him in his ninety ra I'm not even that
38:15
Speaker 5: worried about.
38:15
Speaker 1: He barely even gets out of the first inning I.
38:17
Speaker 4: Went out from. It went down from sixty seven yesterday.
38:20
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, it did somehow get himself down there.
38:23
Speaker 1: Pay Tigers Hunter, thank you for joining us. We look

38:56
Speaker 1: it's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew billyon Arman
39:08
Speaker 1: bringing it to you The Huddle closing ceremonies. Three guys
39:11
Speaker 1: who are happy with their roles at work right now. Yeah,
39:15
Speaker 1: like many of the packers under uh trying circumstances last year.
39:19
Speaker 5: That's what I like to hear, Drew. Listen, you can't
39:21
Speaker 5: you can't always have the job that you want right now.
39:24
Speaker 1: But you know what you can do.
39:25
Speaker 5: You can dominate the job you got right now to
39:27
Speaker 5: then earn more opportunity going forward.
39:30
Speaker 1: Right So, like, hey, no block, no rock.
39:32
Speaker 5: Maybe we learned that last year with our roles being
39:36
Speaker 5: divided out and potentially the wide receiver room that they're
39:38
Speaker 5: gonna learn in New England.
39:39
Speaker 2: Don't you be Your coach always told you the biggest
39:41
Speaker 2: star of the team is the guy that star is
39:43
Speaker 2: the most in his role.
39:45
Speaker 1: You'd be a star in your role like that. That
39:47
Speaker 1: is what they told the Yeah, that's right.
39:49
Speaker 2: Who's the filling their potential the most? That's what they tell.
39:52
Speaker 2: You know, there's something to that. I think there's something
39:54
Speaker 2: to that. So maybe we'll see. Listen, if we see
39:57
Speaker 2: more of a more harmonious uh, maybe you know locker
40:01
Speaker 2: room this year will result in more wins or that
40:04
Speaker 2: we think we should get. Maybe you'd like to think
40:06
Speaker 2: that because I think we, as Packer fans, believe there's
40:09
Speaker 2: more to be left. There's more left in the field,
40:11
Speaker 2: there's more to more wins to be had in the scoreboard,
40:13
Speaker 2: based on the talent we had than what we saw,
40:16
Speaker 2: and especially some of the ways the Packers lost late.
40:18
Speaker 2: You wonder if that could have an impact. So hopefully
40:20
Speaker 2: they're trying to figure that out right.
40:22
Speaker 1: Time for our Awaken Bank story brought to us by

40:45
Speaker 1: to the fridge. I got some space in the fridge
40:46
Speaker 1: carved out just for some drift Seltzer that I need

Speaker 1: to pick up. Billy, what's our wake in bank story?
40:51
Speaker 1: In honor of Happy Place Well and the best thing

40:52
Speaker 5: We talk about complimentary football, complimentary baseball. This is complimentary
40:56
Speaker 5: to each other because happy play. Sam is going to
40:58
Speaker 5: help you enjoy that. Hershey will shift back to the
41:02
Speaker 5: classic Reese's recipe after backlash, most notably from the grandson
41:08
Speaker 5: of the Reese's founder, and he criticized that I've been
41:10
Speaker 5: eating this every day, oh wow, since I was born,
41:13
Speaker 5: since I was a young boy, and they changed this.
41:16
Speaker 1: They changed the chocolate that's been in here.
41:19
Speaker 5: Reesus has always been made of real milk chocolate or
41:21
Speaker 5: dark chocolate peanut butter, but a small portion of Hershey's
41:24
Speaker 5: and Reese's products like the Eastern Mini eggs are now
41:27
Speaker 5: available with the coat that will contain less chocolate, turn
41:30
Speaker 5: it back to its original recipes, and in twenty twenty
41:34
Speaker 5: seven they will fully shift back to the classic milk.
41:36
Speaker 1: Chalk about that he spoke up and made a difference.
41:39
Speaker 1: He made change.
41:41
Speaker 5: You want to really really enjoy that reesis you grab
41:43
Speaker 5: yourself a couple of a drift Seltzer and then a
41:46
Speaker 5: big old bag of Reesus eggs. I prefer the Christmas

Speaker 5: trees more because I think you get more bang for
41:51
Speaker 5: your buck there or the hearts, whichever one it is, Drew,
41:54
Speaker 5: that's going to.
