0:00
Speaker 1: We're chopping it up here taking your thoughts eight seven
0:02
Speaker 1: seven seven nine three to the nicolay Lot dot com
0:05
Speaker 1: talk and text line. When we fire up on Monday,
0:08
Speaker 1: the Brewers will either have made a trade or it
0:11
Speaker 1: will be Defcon one. You're right, like if they have
0:15
Speaker 1: any like imminent because we have until five pm on Monday,
0:19
Speaker 1: which is the trade deadline and Major League Baseball, and
0:21
Speaker 1: some of the might get slipped in and like emailed
0:23
Speaker 1: to the Commissioner's office at four fifty eight pm.
0:25
Speaker 2: Oh, I think so, there always is. Last year when
0:27
Speaker 2: we were on the air for at the Shelby Miller
0:30
Speaker 2: Jordan Montgomery trade that those two came from the Diamondbacks
0:33
Speaker 2: to the Brewers. Now Montgomery didn't pitch, it was just
0:35
Speaker 2: more of a salary dump. But Shelby Miller pitched a
0:37
Speaker 2: little before getting hurt. That was really that was reported
0:41
Speaker 2: about ten minutes after the trade deadline had passed. So
0:44
Speaker 2: it's especially now where you have the expanded playoffs and
0:48
Speaker 2: six teams in each league make the playoffs. Buyers and
0:51
Speaker 2: sellers are deciding later and later what they want to do.
0:54
Speaker 2: And I think that is the reason why you've really
0:57
Speaker 2: hardly seen any trades. The Rangers and Angels made one
0:59
Speaker 2: a couple days ago, the Mets and Twins with a
1:01
Speaker 2: late night one last night. Nothing huge, you know, nothing
1:05
Speaker 2: super significant, but man, there's a lot of teams now.
1:07
Speaker 2: You know, the Angels are ready to sell, uh and
1:10
Speaker 2: the Giants as well. And there's teams now that are
1:13
Speaker 2: going to be very much I think starting to be
1:16
Speaker 2: more and more active over the weekend. I would think
1:18
Speaker 2: most of your trades will happen probably the way it's
1:20
Speaker 2: trending Sunday and Monday, with probably maybe a couple, maybe
1:26
Speaker 2: one or two today and then little more tomorrow, and
1:28
Speaker 2: then Sunday and Monday it'll be trades go well.
1:31
Speaker 1: Free for all, Yeah, because you know, obviously if you're
1:36
Speaker 1: the bird, you want to make the deal as soon
1:37
Speaker 1: as you can with the birds, but also you have
1:40
Speaker 1: to kind of wait because the Tigers are trying.
1:42
Speaker 3: To goose the market. They are.
1:43
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and for the Tigers it makes sense for
1:45
Speaker 2: them to wait it out.
1:46
Speaker 1: For the sellers, yeah, let's wait it out and get
1:48
Speaker 1: the absolute best deal we can get teams to start paying,
1:52
Speaker 1: like the Bucks with Yannis, right, Yeah, in essence, isn't
1:56
Speaker 1: this similar like Giannis is a one year guy, very similar,
2:00
Speaker 1: and he's expected to sign the extension with Miami. So
2:03
Speaker 1: that would be like Schoble going to the Dodgers. Yes,
2:06
Speaker 1: you're going to where you're going to sign anyway, yep,
2:08
Speaker 1: or you're going to a team that will sign you
2:10
Speaker 1: to an extension.
2:11
Speaker 3: It's similar.
2:12
Speaker 2: But also, you know, when the Bucks were trading Giannis,
2:14
Speaker 2: you know, a team if they're going to acquire and
2:16
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure they had a good shot to
2:18
Speaker 2: sign him to an extension. Obviously that's not going to
2:20
Speaker 2: happen in Milwaukee. So that's I guess the difference is
2:23
Speaker 2: the team that acquires Trek schoobl isn't going to you know,
2:28
Speaker 2: have the inside track necessarily to sign him because we
2:30
Speaker 2: all know he's not signing in Milwaukee.
2:32
Speaker 1: When it came to and with Giannis, the Bucks were
2:36
Speaker 1: going to offer him the max contract.
2:38
Speaker 3: Mm h. With Scooble, that's not the case.
2:42
Speaker 1: Like and you know we had that guy Greg call
2:44
Speaker 1: in my friend Andy from West Bend, longtime Tigers man.
2:47
Speaker 1: He's been prepared to trade Schoogle for a while because
2:49
Speaker 1: he sees the riding on the wall, like we're not
2:50
Speaker 1: going to be able to keep him. You got to
2:52
Speaker 1: get something for him, Like you said, it's basically malpractice
2:54
Speaker 1: to not turn him into some prospects. So I don't
2:59
Speaker 1: know where where that Greg guy was coming from, Like, oh,
3:01
Speaker 1: why won't he stay here? Like he's pitched well here
3:04
Speaker 1: and he likes Detroit, Like he likes Detroit, but he
3:06
Speaker 1: likes money more.
3:09
Speaker 3: Right, Oh yeah, I mean it's not hard to square
3:11
Speaker 3: that circle, is it. No, and it's from.
3:15
Speaker 1: Detroit or you're like, there's no, not many guys are
3:17
Speaker 1: given the hometown discount.
3:20
Speaker 2: No, well exist, Yeah, you're gonna get one, probably one big,
3:25
Speaker 2: big contract in your career. And schoobl is about ready
3:29
Speaker 2: to make that, and so he's not going to pass
3:31
Speaker 2: up that opportunity when teams are for sure going to
3:34
Speaker 2: pay that type of money to get him. Uh, there
3:37
Speaker 2: is a text company unnamed in the six oh eight Brewers.
3:41
Speaker 2: Window for a real shot at a World Series appearance
3:43
Speaker 2: is now. Jacob Zerowski is priced right at this moment,
3:47
Speaker 2: and there are prospects worth moving to get another ace,
3:49
Speaker 2: even if it's a rental. It's it's well said. I mean, eventually,
3:54
Speaker 2: I do know. We don't want to say this out
3:56
Speaker 2: loud and talk about this, but miss Arowski's gonna be
3:57
Speaker 2: in the same position Terreic schools and now you gotta
4:00
Speaker 2: for them, now, yeah, you got to, so, I think,
4:02
Speaker 2: especially because they've built kind of to this moment and
4:05
Speaker 2: took that next step last year to get to the
4:08
Speaker 2: NLCS winning a playoff series for the first time since
4:10
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, it kind of feels like they're building, climbing
4:12
Speaker 2: up that ladder, and maybe that would be the next
4:14
Speaker 2: step on the ladder.
4:16
Speaker 1: Jimbo said, any possibility a Burwis position player gets traded, well, yeah,
4:21
Speaker 1: in theory, yeah, but they don't. There's not a lot
4:25
Speaker 1: of value there. They're not trading terrag right, No, not
4:28
Speaker 1: anybody's significant. They're not trading Churio Nope, they're not trading
4:32
Speaker 1: contrarasts No. So, okay, could David Hamilton get traded right right?
4:37
Speaker 1: Conceivably they love him, But conceivably if the team wanted him.
4:41
Speaker 1: If I keep going back to Freelick, Yeah, because there's
4:45
Speaker 1: a guy who's you know, he is hurt right now.
4:48
Speaker 1: He's hurt right now, but he's a legit starting player
4:50
Speaker 1: with team control. He's got a gold glove on his resume.
4:54
Speaker 1: You know, good community guy, like just a solid solid Yeah.
4:58
Speaker 1: And again I suggested a month ago and people were
5:01
Speaker 1: coming at me saying I was crazy, and even you
5:04
Speaker 1: say about what a big part of the clubhouse culture
5:06
Speaker 1: he is? Well, is so a taric schoobl yes, or
5:11
Speaker 1: you know, but anybody you get back, I mean, people
5:13
Speaker 1: realize this is the business. This is the business we've chosen,
5:16
Speaker 1: and Freela could get traded in the clubhouse will move
5:18
Speaker 1: along well.
5:19
Speaker 2: And that's the difference between the hater trade and this trade,
5:21
Speaker 2: because if Freelick were to get traded, people would compare
5:24
Speaker 2: that to the hater trade. The hater trade was a
5:25
Speaker 2: move for the future. It was selling when you were,
5:29
Speaker 2: you know, upwards in your division. This is okay, we're
5:32
Speaker 2: giving up a guy, but look who we're getting back,
5:35
Speaker 2: and that guy is going to try to help us
5:36
Speaker 2: win a World Series this year. Yeah, So that would
5:39
Speaker 2: be very different in that because as it stands now
5:42
Speaker 2: and he's coming back, like barring injury.
5:45
Speaker 1: Is south frielck a starting player for the Brewers right now? I?
5:49
Speaker 2: Uh not every day. No, I think it's him and
5:52
Speaker 2: Lara some sort of. It's Chario Mitchell and Lara right
5:56
Speaker 2: for the most part. Yeah, I think if Freelick is there,
5:59
Speaker 2: he it's a little more fifty to fifty and maybe
6:03
Speaker 2: even it depends on what Lara does over the next
6:06
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Just playing really well, man, he looks
6:09
Speaker 2: like a big leaguer to me, you're right, and they
6:11
Speaker 2: have You're right. He runs, he plays defense.
6:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's not like you got to take
6:16
Speaker 1: him out of games for defense, right, You could conceivably,
6:20
Speaker 1: and this might sound antithetical to some, but if they
6:24
Speaker 1: still had Perkins or something like you, if you are
6:28
Speaker 1: in a really tight game and you want your absolute
6:31
Speaker 1: best defense on the field, you might put free Lick
6:35
Speaker 1: in right and move Lara to left or something, or
6:37
Speaker 1: or put Perkins in or sure you might remove Churio,
6:41
Speaker 1: who's not a bad defender, no, but he's the worst.
6:44
Speaker 1: He's the weakest thinker of the of the elite. Elite
6:47
Speaker 1: have better gloves on the bench than Turio. Yeah, if Freelick,
6:50
Speaker 1: when Free and Perkins are.
6:51
Speaker 3: There, they have better gloves on the bench than Yeah.
6:54
Speaker 3: It's hard for me to see. Now.
6:55
Speaker 2: The rosters do expand coming up to September. Obviously one
6:59
Speaker 2: of the will be a picture, but you do look
7:02
Speaker 2: at it and say, when Freelick comes back, Perkins will
7:05
Speaker 2: go down. So you're gonna have free Lick and Lara
7:09
Speaker 2: And look, that just makes your bench deeper. You know,
7:12
Speaker 2: you know they're better than Blake Perkins. As much as
7:15
Speaker 2: Blake Perkins is a great defender, his offense just has
7:18
Speaker 2: not been there. So out there you you would like
7:20
Speaker 2: to free Lick or Laara on the bench is better
7:23
Speaker 2: than Perkins?
7:24
Speaker 3: All right?
7:24
Speaker 1: Well, is Perkins better or worse? Like you look at
7:27
Speaker 1: a trade and the Red Sox took Monasterio and Durbin, Like,
7:31
Speaker 1: look at Durban was the centerpiece of a trade. Yep,
7:35
Speaker 1: Freelick's better than Durban. Yeah, wouldn't you say?
7:38
Speaker 3: Or you well, at least his body of work, with
7:40
Speaker 3: the body of work for so far in his career, Yes, yep,
7:43
Speaker 3: so if and then Monasterio.
7:47
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do the math of transitory property here,
7:49
Speaker 1: Durbin and Monasterio like free Lick Perkins or free Lick
7:55
Speaker 1: you know.
7:56
Speaker 2: As far as outfielders. No, I'm just saying, like just
7:58
Speaker 2: in Monastery, I feel like, yeah.
8:01
Speaker 1: Well Hamilton, well okay, but okay, so let's say it was,
8:04
Speaker 1: you know, Freelick and Hamilton is a better package than
8:08
Speaker 1: Durban Monasterio, isn't it?
8:10
Speaker 2: Probably because Freelick is a better better than Hamilton or sorry,
8:15
Speaker 2: free Lick is better than Durban as far as the
8:17
Speaker 2: body of work goes, not necessarily this year or upside.
8:21
Speaker 1: Or whatever, but just like for in terms of track
8:23
Speaker 1: record and established what they've put on paper. Yes, so again,
8:29
Speaker 1: and everybody thinks I hate self Freelick. No, but he's
8:32
Speaker 1: just a piece that people would want and he's you
8:34
Speaker 1: can sell it to your fan base going. Oh, the
8:36
Speaker 1: Brewers gave us the Brewers, who've been the best team
8:38
Speaker 1: in their division and one of the best teams in
8:40
Speaker 1: baseball for the passer over years, gave us their starting
8:42
Speaker 1: right fielder who happens to have a gold glove. Oh yeah,
8:45
Speaker 1: I think it's like that's interested, that's legit, and he's cheap,
8:50
Speaker 1: and he's controllable, and it's like that is but that's
8:55
Speaker 1: in a way.
8:56
Speaker 3: And again, I can't you get fascinated with prospects?
8:59
Speaker 1: You do you give up free Lick than a guy
9:01
Speaker 1: that you don't know whether he's gonna pan out or not.
9:06
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, if you're a team acquiring a player, you
9:09
Speaker 2: know Freelick is a proven.
9:10
Speaker 1: Commodity well and even as a team selling, Like, even
9:14
Speaker 1: if I'm in the Bruce standpoint, I think I'd rather
9:17
Speaker 1: see what you know, we we we were just talking
9:21
Speaker 1: about Josiah Ragsdale or something, hang on one of those
9:25
Speaker 1: guys in trade for because I got those guys.
9:27
Speaker 3: Coming, sure, yeah, and you yeah you can.
9:33
Speaker 1: And then the blueprint, like what is this the off
9:35
Speaker 1: season that they have to talk about trading Terrang and
9:37
Speaker 1: move make room for made.
9:41
Speaker 2: Probably to me, I don't know if you trade Terrang though,
9:48
Speaker 2: well room well, no, not necessarily Terrang, I believe as
9:54
Speaker 2: two more years he has.
9:57
Speaker 1: I was just gonna look that up because he is eligible.
10:00
Speaker 1: He's at two one sixty five as of the start
10:03
Speaker 1: of this season, so he's going to be three uh
10:06
Speaker 1: eligible for free agency unrestricted in twenty thirty.
10:12
Speaker 2: It's all right, no, so three more so three more years,
10:15
Speaker 2: three more years. Yeah, I think it's too early to
10:18
Speaker 2: talk about that. I mean, maday, but if my day
10:22
Speaker 2: is ready, like what are you gonna the day will
10:24
Speaker 2: be in Triple A next year, So it's it's possible,
10:27
Speaker 2: I I you know, we.
10:29
Speaker 1: All right, So like next season is Terrag's last season
10:31
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, possibly because the other the flip side of
10:36
Speaker 1: that is you open it up to more teams if
10:40
Speaker 1: he has two years of control as opposed.
10:42
Speaker 3: To one year of control.
10:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that it makes him more attractive, because well,
10:45
Speaker 1: we got this guy for two years and then we'll
10:47
Speaker 1: see if we can sign him. But and then there's
10:48
Speaker 1: the thing about like eventually Yellich'll come off the books,
10:51
Speaker 1: and then you want to commit to Tarang or do
10:53
Speaker 1: you want to commit to uh? Contreer's right and Contreras,
10:59
Speaker 1: given the way his brother is adapted to move to
11:01
Speaker 1: first base, if he still hits, he could be a
11:03
Speaker 1: viable non catching option, although he seems to have some
11:06
Speaker 1: Pedrodriguez in some YACHTI Air Molina like a guy who's
11:08
Speaker 1: gonna catch for a long time. True, those guys are
11:11
Speaker 1: the outliers and you don't bank on that. But if
11:13
Speaker 1: Contraras continue to catch and play at a high.
11:16
Speaker 3: Level, you definitely would think about committing to him.
11:19
Speaker 2: Tommy and Stallis says, I think a big part of
11:21
Speaker 2: the fan base is reluctance to part with these prospects.
11:25
Speaker 2: Is that we seem to know more of them by
11:27
Speaker 2: name than we ever have before, so there's a little
11:30
Speaker 2: bit of more familiarity there.
11:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're better, but I would argue that people knew
11:35
Speaker 1: when J. J. Hardy and Ricky Weeks and Corey Hart
11:38
Speaker 1: were coming up, like you knew that. It's kind of
11:40
Speaker 1: like that same wave.
11:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is about as familiar you've been with the
11:44
Speaker 2: system since that time on.
11:45
Speaker 1: Guyardo, Like you knew guys were coming, you knew the
11:48
Speaker 1: cavalry was coming, and now like, they don't really need
11:51
Speaker 1: the cavalry and the house isn't on fire, so you
11:54
Speaker 1: don't need the bucket brigade. You just have a pipeline
11:57
Speaker 1: of talent. And again, part of the reason you have
11:59
Speaker 1: a our systems to be able to trade guys true, yes,
12:04
Speaker 1: and still be okay when you do. That's the big
12:06
Speaker 1: thing of where the Brewers are right now. You can
12:08
Speaker 1: trade significant prospects and still be okay. Are you going
12:12
Speaker 1: to be the top prospect in or a top system
12:14
Speaker 1: in baseball?
12:15
Speaker 3: No? But are you still going to be ranked high? Yes?
12:17
Speaker 1: Can anybody say definitively that like Cooper Pratt is going
12:21
Speaker 1: to be better than Pina or Made or like you
12:24
Speaker 1: do at this point, you don't know. Definitely don't know.
12:27
Speaker 1: Guys can take a leap. And again the thing is
12:30
Speaker 1: like as they're currently constructed, the brewer is going to
12:31
Speaker 1: be good for like they're poison to be good for
12:33
Speaker 1: like five, six, seven years.
12:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, with talent that's flowing in, that's cheap, which is
12:39
Speaker 2: the bites at the apple theory. That's the whole thing.
12:41
Speaker 1: And it's like, Okay, well look at Jackson Curio right now,
12:47
Speaker 1: and you say, well, he's a nice player, not an
12:49
Speaker 1: All star yet.
12:51
Speaker 3: Right, but he's got so much money.
12:53
Speaker 1: He's going to play next season at like twenty three yeah,
12:56
Speaker 1: players peak at twenty seven.
12:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
12:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's on the ascend, like he's only going to
13:02
Speaker 1: get better, right yep. So okay, like I guess now
13:08
Speaker 1: what all the guys they have coming would what do
13:09
Speaker 1: you think about trading Jackson Curio? You would think he's
13:12
Speaker 1: untouchable because he's so cheap and he's he's got that contract.
13:16
Speaker 1: That contract might make him attractive, So that would blow
13:19
Speaker 1: people's minds. So trading what, I don't know. Yeah, I
13:23
Speaker 1: don't think you have three or four highly rated prospects
13:26
Speaker 1: in the outfield that coming. Well, if people love Freelick,
13:29
Speaker 1: do you love him enough that you would trade Churio instead. No, right, right,
13:33
Speaker 1: But Lara already looks like a legitimate major league player
13:37
Speaker 1: to me, Jenny and Appleton, When you first mentioned trading Sale,
13:41
Speaker 1: I was horrified, But now I think it might be
13:43
Speaker 1: a good move.
13:44
Speaker 2: This is the year we have to go for it.
13:47
Speaker 2: Jenny rn Appleton number fifteen in the five o'clock Club.
13:52
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think people are starting to come around
13:54
Speaker 2: to it a little bit. And I think part of
13:56
Speaker 2: that is because Luis Laura has shown some great potential
13:59
Speaker 2: here over his first few weeks in the big leagues.
14:01
Speaker 2: And again it's only the first few weeks. We got
14:03
Speaker 2: to give it time, just like we talked about Cooper
14:05
Speaker 2: Pratt just a moment ago as well. But there is
14:09
Speaker 2: arguments to be made here that, Okay, Laura can be
14:12
Speaker 2: your everyday guy in right field, and that makes Freelick expendable.
14:15
Speaker 2: But again, I don't know, I don't know. I just
14:18
Speaker 2: don't love the idea of doing that unless it's for
14:20
Speaker 2: a Schooble, if you have to give up Freelick for
14:22
Speaker 2: a different guy other than like Mason Miller or Trek
14:27
Speaker 2: Scooble or like a cj Abra, unless you're on that
14:30
Speaker 2: talent level trading away, Sal Freelick, I don't love it.
14:36
Speaker 2: I don't love it unless you're unless that is the
14:38
Speaker 2: type of talent you are getting back, because I think
14:41
Speaker 2: then that justifies it a little more to that clubhouse.
14:45
Speaker 3: Okay, here's one for you.
14:47
Speaker 1: Because to the Terang thing, well, I guess it's not
14:51
Speaker 1: really applicable because when the Rays traded a Damis to Milwaukee,
14:55
Speaker 1: he was struggling and they had his replacement ready to go,
14:58
Speaker 1: right right, Well, isn't made conceivably Terang's replaced. Yeah?
15:04
Speaker 3: Yes, And I.
15:05
Speaker 1: Love the fact that they got a bunch of guys
15:06
Speaker 1: that could play short too. You know, they're not just
15:08
Speaker 1: second basement like labor Torres that the Tigers have. Nice player,
15:13
Speaker 1: can hit, can only play second, right, whereas like Terrang,
15:17
Speaker 1: someone could someone could trade for Terrang and like put
15:19
Speaker 1: him at short.
15:20
Speaker 2: Brewers pitchers say all the time, it's like we have
15:22
Speaker 2: a bunch of short it's they do literally have three
15:25
Speaker 2: shortstops on their infield.
15:26
Speaker 3: Right.
15:26
Speaker 2: You have Joey Ortiz at third, you have Cooper patted
15:30
Speaker 2: short and Bryce Strang at second, all of which could
15:32
Speaker 2: easily be playing shortstop. Right now, you know that that
15:36
Speaker 2: makes your defense in your infield really good.
15:39
Speaker 1: So I guess Taylor Walls is the guy who is
15:41
Speaker 1: the Ray's shortstop that Adamis was kind of blocking, so
15:46
Speaker 1: they were able to trade.
15:47
Speaker 3: Him, didn't They have Franco at the time though, too.
15:49
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, they wanted Franco too. I think he
15:51
Speaker 3: was the guy.
15:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and the Walls was behind him, and
15:55
Speaker 1: then Walls is now the guy. Yeah, the guy behind
15:56
Speaker 1: the guy is playing now yep, you're right, that's right,
16:00
Speaker 1: and he's out of ball. She's a criminal charge.
16:04
Speaker 3: Yeah that went the wrong way. Wow.
16:07
Speaker 1: So but again, that's that's in the cards. And that's
16:09
Speaker 1: what you can deal with when you have when you
16:14
Speaker 1: have this pipeline. That's the whole idea. Like you can't,
16:18
Speaker 1: like you have a hard time imagining trading ter Rang
16:21
Speaker 1: think about what the return would be.
16:23
Speaker 2: Though, Oh yeah, I mean I'm not trading him this year. No,
16:28
Speaker 2: you can start to entertainment. Entertainment.
16:31
Speaker 1: Let's say you give up a good chunk of the
16:33
Speaker 1: system this year to get and then you get scoobl
16:38
Speaker 1: and yeah, school and Mason Miller are going and we
16:40
Speaker 1: gave up you know, like seven top prospects. Sure, well
16:44
Speaker 1: two years from now we trade terrang and get replenished
16:46
Speaker 1: the pipeline and get seven guys back.
16:48
Speaker 3: Sure, four guys back.
16:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yep, there is that there, yes, because then
16:54
Speaker 2: you have and Contreras if you're not going to sign him,
16:57
Speaker 2: he is one year left after this year.
17:00
Speaker 3: And as for the.
17:02
Speaker 1: As for the oh you know, he's the heartbeat of
17:05
Speaker 1: the team in selfree Like, I don't want to hear
17:07
Speaker 1: that because yeah, the hater thing crippled it because it
17:10
Speaker 1: was like, what are we doing. We're trading our clothes
17:11
Speaker 1: when we're trying to win now, right, that was different.
17:15
Speaker 2: If you sell it selfree, like, it's the same effect.
17:18
Speaker 2: If you buy with selfree Like, that's a different But yeah,
17:21
Speaker 2: that's the thing.
17:22
Speaker 1: And to me it's like, well, well, how important how
17:25
Speaker 1: many times did we talk about Willia Dama's effect on
17:27
Speaker 1: the clubhouse?
17:29
Speaker 3: Right?
17:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, they let him go. They be okay, and they
17:32
Speaker 1: set a franchise record for wins.
17:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
17:35
Speaker 1: Freddie Peralta was the leader of that staff, took all
17:37
Speaker 1: the Latin kids under his wing and like was the
17:39
Speaker 1: head of people over to his place.
17:40
Speaker 3: And they let him go and they're set to win
17:44
Speaker 3: more games like, it's not what yet.
17:47
Speaker 2: While I do agree, there is a Nico Horner just
17:50
Speaker 2: said this when the Cubs dfae Jamison Tay on the
17:53
Speaker 2: other day. He said, it's different when you do it
17:56
Speaker 2: in the in the season because you're with these guys
17:59
Speaker 2: every day. You're a good team with these guys, and
18:02
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, it's like, instead of seeing
18:04
Speaker 2: them every day, they're just gone. Instead of doing it
18:06
Speaker 2: in the off season, I think the off season where
18:08
Speaker 2: you lost Willie Domas, where you lost Freddy Peralta, where
18:11
Speaker 2: you lost not that Corbyn Burns was as big of
18:13
Speaker 2: an impact, but on the clubhouse specifically as those other
18:16
Speaker 2: two guys per Altenna Damas. You lost those guys in
18:19
Speaker 2: the off season. I think that's the significant difference there.
18:22
Speaker 2: You lose a guy who's a core part of your
18:24
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six team in the middle of twenty twenty six.
18:27
Speaker 3: That gives me a little.
18:28
Speaker 2: More worry when it comes to a guy like Sufa
18:31
Speaker 2: and the Brewers are very much they very much discuss
18:35
Speaker 2: and think about the guys that are coming in and
18:37
Speaker 2: going out of their clubhouse, maybe more than other teams.
18:39
Speaker 3: That's true.
18:40
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven, ninety seventh three. Quite the hot
18:43
Speaker 1: topic fun to talk about. You know what else is
18:46
Speaker 1: fun to talk about?
18:46
Speaker 3: Iron Jock.

Speaker 1: nicolay loa dot com talking text on Tom for a
19:02
Speaker 1: little Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin injury update brought to Aspire
19:07
Speaker 1: Palace at Orthowisconsin dot com. The best world class care

Speaker 1: right here in our backyard. Clinic will open this fall

19:24
Speaker 1: of your youngsters has been hurt or been bothered by something,
19:27
Speaker 1: go to Orthopedic Associates Wisconsin. If you have nagging problems
19:29
Speaker 1: with the shoulder, back, elbow, wrist, near hip, hip, I
19:34
Speaker 1: can speak from experience, go to the best Orthopedic Associates Wisconsin.
19:38
Speaker 1: Our update has has to do with Kyle Harrison. Ah, Yes,
19:44
Speaker 1: who pitched last night for the t Rats in what
19:47
Speaker 1: might be the lone tune up like he did a
19:49
Speaker 1: color up. He did some updowns. I love that that's
19:51
Speaker 1: what they're calling him now because that was always the lingo.
19:53
Speaker 1: But yeah, four ups, not innings. It's four ups like
19:56
Speaker 1: he did. I guess you don't. There are no innings
19:58
Speaker 1: in a semi guys I got, so I guess it
20:00
Speaker 1: has to be enough. But he pitched innings last night, Yes,
20:05
Speaker 1: in in a grand shoot, five and two thirds of them.
20:07
Speaker 3: How did it go? Hunter?
20:09
Speaker 2: Very good? One hit, no runs, three walks, five k's.
20:12
Speaker 2: I guess maybe the only blemish would be the three walks.
20:14
Speaker 2: But otherwise he got eight swing and misses, two nine
20:17
Speaker 2: pitch innings. He looked good and he said he felt
20:20
Speaker 2: great afterwards. And I would think this guy will be
20:22
Speaker 2: starting from Milwaukee next week, maybe alongside I love Kurt
20:27
Speaker 2: Hogy the Journal Sentinel, but Kurt Kyle Harrison will be
20:30
Speaker 2: starting next week for Milwaukee along with They tried to
20:32
Speaker 2: trade deadline acquisition or something like that. Yeah, or in
20:35
Speaker 2: addition to the rotation or something like that.
20:37
Speaker 3: So what does the rotation look like?
20:39
Speaker 1: As of right now, you've got yeah, is a Gasser
20:41
Speaker 1: tonight it is drowing tonight, rowing Gasser and then miss
20:45
Speaker 1: good yep.
20:45
Speaker 3: And then you've got Henderson and Sprote.
20:49
Speaker 1: Henderson is broke maybe or Harrison somewhere.
20:52
Speaker 3: Right, could you?
20:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Harrison would probably be eligible to pitch. Uh well,
20:58
Speaker 2: probably they probably want to give him or five days.
21:00
Speaker 2: I would think Tuesday at the earliest, probably Wednesday probably Honestly,
21:04
Speaker 2: what they'll probably do is they could go drowing. Uh
21:07
Speaker 2: so they would go drowing gas or miss and then
21:10
Speaker 2: sprout Henderson, right, Henderson started game two. Yeah, so Henderson
21:16
Speaker 2: and then Harrison I would think would be Wednesday's starter
21:20
Speaker 2: if you're looking that far. Or well, let's see, and
21:24
Speaker 2: then it'd be scoobable and then it'd be Miss and
21:28
Speaker 2: then you know, if they if they get an acquisition,
21:31
Speaker 2: and then so if you then if you acquire someone
21:34
Speaker 2: who is the odd man out in that rotation, right,
21:36
Speaker 2: it's probably Robert Gasser. Well, there's two things. Okay, there's
21:39
Speaker 2: let's let's so you look at the rotation right now.
21:43
Speaker 2: Your five pictures are drowing Gasser, Miz, sprot and Henderson. Okay,
21:48
Speaker 2: let's say Harrison comes back, who's out of that rotation?
21:52
Speaker 2: You know, you could argue that sprot would be the
21:55
Speaker 2: one that would be kind of the weakest link at
21:57
Speaker 2: the moment, but I think the most likely to be
22:03
Speaker 2: out of that rotation is probably Robert Gasser. Or you're
22:06
Speaker 2: in seventeen games in seventeen days, do you try to
22:10
Speaker 2: go with do you option someone out of the bullpen? Yeah,
22:14
Speaker 2: and try to go with a six man rotation here,
22:16
Speaker 2: or the other option is do you get an acquisition
22:20
Speaker 2: here in the next few days that is then going
22:22
Speaker 2: to start and then you can't have a seven man rotation,
22:24
Speaker 2: So somebody's got to be the one man out in
22:26
Speaker 2: that scenario as well. So very interesting to see Kyle
22:29
Speaker 2: Harrison's going to come back the same week that you
22:32
Speaker 2: may have an addition to that rotation at the trade deadline,
22:34
Speaker 2: or they may not get a starter at all.
22:37
Speaker 1: Scooble through on Wednesday. He'll be ready to pitch on
22:40
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday.
22:41
Speaker 3: Yep.
22:42
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray pitched last night, yep, so he's on the
22:46
Speaker 1: same Harrison So Tuesday Wednesday yep would put him. You know,
22:50
Speaker 1: if you were to get a Robbie Ray, YEP. I
22:52
Speaker 1: don't remember. Peralta's last star is Freddy I remember, but
22:56
Speaker 1: like you get these guys, you get him in and
22:58
Speaker 1: get him acclimated. Maybe let them throw a pen, you know,
23:02
Speaker 1: to with your pigeon coaches watching them before they have
23:05
Speaker 1: to fire up and pitch. Right, Freddy's tonight, all right?
23:09
Speaker 1: So if Freddy's tonight, then he's later in the week. Yep,
23:12
Speaker 1: next week.
23:14
Speaker 2: Oh you imagine Freddy Peralta takes the mound for the Brewers.
23:19
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, or on Wednesday or Thursday. Yeah, that could happen.
23:24
Speaker 2: The possibilities are there, endless, and then it's gonna be
23:26
Speaker 2: none of them.
23:28
Speaker 3: So none of that's gonna happen.
23:30
Speaker 1: Thanks to the rehab start for uh Kyle Harrison Orthopedic
23:34
Speaker 1: Associates of Wisconsin ORTHA Wisconsin dot com, best in the
23:37
Speaker 1: business world class care right in our backyard, Orthpedic Associates, Wisconsin.

24:07
Speaker 4: What I was thinking. Who said a Hall of Fame game? Hunter, Yeah,
24:10
Speaker 4: I can't believe that either. What the football is right
24:13
Speaker 4: around the corner. I've already set my default ring tone
24:17
Speaker 4: on my phone to the NFL and fox them like
24:20
Speaker 4: the football fever is real. That's fantastic, no question, No, seriously,
24:25
Speaker 4: Like I bought the tone for the best dollar twenty
24:28
Speaker 4: nine I think I've ever spent on my phone. Literally.
24:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
24:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you go in, yeah, under the studyings and
24:37
Speaker 4: yeah from there.
24:37
Speaker 3: Yeah.
24:38
Speaker 2: But anyway, Oh, thank you if you call Thomas, if
24:44
Speaker 2: you call Thomas in the next couple of months, what
24:47
Speaker 2: you're hear?
24:51
Speaker 3: What you got? What you got?
24:53
Speaker 4: Anyway? School ball? Well, first off, I'm glad it's so
24:56
Speaker 4: delighted and blessed. Y'all got to hear a little bit
24:58
Speaker 4: of positivity from the legend Gregory Baltef from Michigan, mister positive.
25:05
Speaker 4: But yeah, to echo and build off your conversation with
25:09
Speaker 4: mister Positive, here's what I want to say, what and
25:15
Speaker 4: I want to get deep and insightful and thought provoking here,
25:18
Speaker 4: what do you believe is said about the Bruis very
25:23
Speaker 4: actively and aggressively going after school Ball? Does this show
25:28
Speaker 4: that we really you know, and we obviously as Bruis fans,
25:32
Speaker 4: have not seen that world series title or been a
25:36
Speaker 4: world series and gosh, one Hunter, you probably can kill me.
25:38
Speaker 4: And I don't even know how many years definitely.
25:43
Speaker 3: What ben to one eighty two.
25:48
Speaker 4: Nineteen eighty two. So the question, the deep level question
25:53
Speaker 4: then is do we are we? Would you say right
25:56
Speaker 4: now with the waves where you know, pursuing school ball
26:00
Speaker 4: and just looking even to the past off season leading
26:04
Speaker 4: into this season, are we kind of focusing you know,
26:07
Speaker 4: Arnold and the higher ups on a like win now
26:12
Speaker 4: mentality like this squad is world series or bust you
26:17
Speaker 4: know kind of caliber or better? Yeah? How how do
26:22
Speaker 4: you think the Brewers are going to be able to
26:24
Speaker 4: balance the value of our farm system players, you know,
26:28
Speaker 4: the value so to speak of six plus years of
26:31
Speaker 4: stay like a Luis Pana who you know what I
26:36
Speaker 4: believe could be our next big Christian yells. That might
26:39
Speaker 4: be a hot take that I know not a hot
26:42
Speaker 4: take home day, but that's just a hot take right there,
26:44
Speaker 4: boom for you on a Friday against two months of
26:47
Speaker 4: one of the best pitchers in baseball. I know that
26:50
Speaker 4: that's a big one.
26:53
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's yeah, it's it's the decision.
26:55
Speaker 2: They have to decide, and they can they can straddle
26:58
Speaker 2: the fence a little bit.
26:59
Speaker 3: But I think I think it's it's is this the year?
27:02
Speaker 2: Right every year you kind of asked that, and it
27:04
Speaker 2: seems like it's kind of been building to this year
27:06
Speaker 2: because you got to the NLCS last year, because you
27:08
Speaker 2: got ninety seven wins last year, and you look at
27:10
Speaker 2: where you're at, where you are at right now, battling
27:13
Speaker 2: for the top spot in baseball again, and you want
27:17
Speaker 2: to take the next step on that journey, which is
27:19
Speaker 2: getting to the World Series for the first time since
27:21
Speaker 2: eighty two. So I do think there is a little
27:23
Speaker 2: bit more fuel to the fire of the Brewers maybe
27:27
Speaker 2: being a little more aggressive at this trade deadline. But
27:30
Speaker 2: I think the Brewers are also smart to be careful
27:33
Speaker 2: because that has also sistained.
27:35
Speaker 1: Again it's not World Series or bus because the windows
27:37
Speaker 1: not closing, no cracking open because they're going to be
27:40
Speaker 1: good for about six or seven years right now.
27:43
Speaker 3: Look at what they have. The bones of this team
27:46
Speaker 3: is in place.
27:47
Speaker 1: Like again, the question is can they win the World
27:51
Speaker 1: Series without making a major what we think would be
27:54
Speaker 1: a major acquisition.
27:55
Speaker 3: Right right, I say yes, but it's less likely.
27:58
Speaker 4: Going after school Ball this show that we really you know,
28:03
Speaker 4: and we obviously as Brewers fans, have not seen that
28:06
Speaker 4: World Series title or been to World Series and gosh,
28:10
Speaker 4: a Hunter, you probably can kill me. And I don't
28:12
Speaker 4: even know how many years definitely.
28:16
Speaker 3: What ben to one eighty two.
28:21
Speaker 4: Nineteen eighty two. So the question, the deep level question
28:26
Speaker 4: then is do we are we would you say right
28:29
Speaker 4: now with the ways where you know, pursuing scooball and
28:33
Speaker 4: just looking even into the past off season leading into
28:37
Speaker 4: this season, are we kind of focusing you know, Arnold
28:40
Speaker 4: and the higher ups on a like win now mentality
28:46
Speaker 4: like this squad is World Series or bust you know
28:50
Speaker 4: kind of caliber or better? Yeah, how how do you
28:55
Speaker 4: think the Brewers are going to be able to balance
28:57
Speaker 4: the value of our farm system players, you know, the
29:01
Speaker 4: value so to speak of six plus years of say
29:05
Speaker 4: like a Luis Pana who you know what I believe
29:09
Speaker 4: could be our next big Christian yells that might be
29:12
Speaker 4: a hot take that I know not a hot take
29:15
Speaker 4: Hume day, but that's just a hot take right there,
29:17
Speaker 4: boom for on a Friday against two months of one
29:20
Speaker 4: of the best pitchers in baseball. I know that that's
29:24
Speaker 4: a big one.
29:26
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's yeah, it's the decision they have
29:28
Speaker 2: to decide, and they can they can straddle the fence
29:32
Speaker 2: a little bit.
29:32
Speaker 3: But I think it's it's is this the year?
29:35
Speaker 4: Right?
29:35
Speaker 2: Every year you kind of asked that, and it seems
29:37
Speaker 2: like it's kind of been building to this year because
29:39
Speaker 2: you got to the NLCS last year, because you got
29:42
Speaker 2: ninety seven wins last year, and you look at where
29:44
Speaker 2: you're at, where you are at right now, battling for
29:46
Speaker 2: the top spot in baseball again, and you want to
29:50
Speaker 2: take the next step on that journey, which is getting
29:52
Speaker 2: to the World Series for the first time since eighty two.
29:54
Speaker 2: So I do think there is a little bit more
29:58
Speaker 2: fuel to the fire of the Brewer is maybe being
30:00
Speaker 2: a little more aggressive at this trade deadline. But I
30:03
Speaker 2: think the Brewers are also smart to be careful because
30:06
Speaker 2: that has also sistained.
30:08
Speaker 1: Again it's not World Series or bus because the window
30:10
Speaker 1: is not closing, no cracking open because they're gonna be
30:13
Speaker 1: good for about six or seven years. Right now, look
30:16
Speaker 1: at what they have. The bones of this team is
30:19
Speaker 1: in place. Like again, the question is can they win
30:24
Speaker 1: the World Series without making.
30:26
Speaker 3: A major what we think would be a major.
30:28
Speaker 4: Acquisition, right right?
30:29
Speaker 3: I say yes, but it's less likely.
30:32
Speaker 4: Yes. Before you let me off, can I ask you
30:34
Speaker 4: one more question? Yeah? Sure, please, Okay, appreciate it now.
30:39
Speaker 4: This kind of comes and put everything full circle for
30:42
Speaker 4: the both. Keep you guys, and after I answered ask
30:45
Speaker 4: you this, I'll hang up and let you guys answer
30:47
Speaker 4: this and I'll list them off the air.
30:49
Speaker 3: Let's go.
30:50
Speaker 4: How much now should the Brewers value being that like
30:54
Speaker 4: sustainable contender and again like we literally have again y'all
30:59
Speaker 4: like one of the bets, if not the best overall
31:05
Speaker 4: record in the Major League. So I think we're behind
31:07
Speaker 4: maybe two teams right now. Last I heard, nonetheless.
31:10
Speaker 3: One and a half games behind the Dodgers for the
31:12
Speaker 3: top spot.
31:12
Speaker 4: And ball I appreciate you, birden cetera. How much should
31:16
Speaker 4: we value being that contender like being at the top
31:19
Speaker 4: three like in the league for record and just putting
31:23
Speaker 4: it out their day in and day out versus taking
31:25
Speaker 4: a calculated Swain at the World Series.
31:27
Speaker 3: That's what I'll leave you guys with, all right, thank you, Thomas.
31:31
Speaker 3: It goes hand in hand a little bit.
31:32
Speaker 1: It does, like it's the way that they're set up.
31:35
Speaker 1: Then it's again like the window is not going to close.
31:38
Speaker 3: It's not like World Series for us. Yeah, they want
31:40
Speaker 3: to win win a World Series, and they have a.
31:41
Speaker 1: Team that could do it with a couple of tweaks,
31:45
Speaker 1: but they're also could be good for They're going to
31:47
Speaker 1: be good for five years, I think.
31:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you also can't guarantee that you're going to
31:51
Speaker 2: be competing for the best record. It's one thing to
31:53
Speaker 2: be good, it's one thing to be like where the
31:55
Speaker 2: Cubs are right like, they're also in a window, but
31:58
Speaker 2: they're also five and a half back right now and
32:00
Speaker 2: sitting as a wild card again, and like it's they're
32:03
Speaker 2: not one of the best records in baseball right now.
32:06
Speaker 2: Now that could change. And they're obviously a top five
32:08
Speaker 2: I think record in baseball. They might even be top
32:11
Speaker 2: three or four, but they they're there, But it's not
32:13
Speaker 2: it's it's a difference where the Brewers are right now.
32:16
Speaker 2: It's just it's that is a different level of good
32:19
Speaker 2: what what the Brewers are right now? And that's what
32:22
Speaker 2: makes me a little more attempted to say, yes, go
32:25
Speaker 2: for it this year, because.
32:26
Speaker 1: The question is hundred next year. At this time, the
32:29
Speaker 1: question is if not now, when right, when will it
32:32
Speaker 1: be time?
32:32
Speaker 3: Because like you have your mix for the best.
32:34
Speaker 1: Records, they always just wait, yeah, yeah, it's true. They're
32:38
Speaker 1: going to have to part with some of the prospects,
32:40
Speaker 1: just a matter of what what do you want it?
32:42
Speaker 1: What's the cost again? And who's untouchable? Like if they
32:46
Speaker 1: traded Madai, would that be the end of the world. No, No,
32:49
Speaker 1: because they've got Peena and they've got other guys, and
32:51
Speaker 1: they could conceivably extend Terrang into yeah if they wanted to.
32:56
Speaker 1: They got three more years of Trang if they want it.
33:00
Speaker 2: Might steal the organizational direction a little bit, if you
33:02
Speaker 2: if you thought, okay, maybe true and look here's the
33:05
Speaker 2: other wild This is just wild though. Okay, what if
33:09
Speaker 2: a salary cap comes in next year? Okay, then are
33:13
Speaker 2: you able to sign Terrang in three years? And then
33:17
Speaker 2: does that change this whole calculus of like does do
33:22
Speaker 2: does that? And we had a text just in here
33:24
Speaker 2: as well, asking do you guys how much does the
33:26
Speaker 2: pending future salary cap affect the decision to give up
33:29
Speaker 2: prospects if you knew there was a salary cap coming, Oh,
33:32
Speaker 2: I think they'd be way more willing to.
33:33
Speaker 1: Give up the cap though.
33:36
Speaker 2: Well as far as well, I guess it'd be more
33:38
Speaker 2: the floor right giving the giving them. Okay, let's say
33:41
Speaker 2: the Brewers had more money to spend, right, it's not.
33:43
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they're going to be up against
33:45
Speaker 2: the cap. I'm saying that the Brewers would have more
33:48
Speaker 2: money to spend in that world because either they'd put
33:51
Speaker 2: in the floor the revenue share, however that all would work,
33:55
Speaker 2: they would.
33:55
Speaker 3: Have more money to spend.
33:57
Speaker 1: I mean a salary cap as we as I conceive
34:02
Speaker 1: it now, you say there's a salary cap in two years,
34:05
Speaker 1: it'd be double what the Brewers are spending.
34:07
Speaker 3: Now.
34:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not saying they'll be up against the cap.
34:09
Speaker 2: I guess I'm more saying they're going to have more
34:11
Speaker 2: money to spend with a floor. If they institute the
34:14
Speaker 2: cap and floor system and the revenue sharing, if that
34:17
Speaker 2: all comes to fruition, then the Brewers have a little
34:20
Speaker 2: more opportunity to keep a guy like Teran long term.
34:23
Speaker 3: Gotcha, yeah, gotcha?
34:24
Speaker 4: Right?
34:25
Speaker 1: Well, and then that's the thing, like, and does that
34:29
Speaker 1: make those guys I still think San Diego, Arizona, La
34:33
Speaker 1: Miami they are more attractive markets, sure, but a homegrown.
34:36
Speaker 2: Guy, right, Yeah, I'm not saying you're going to attrack
34:39
Speaker 2: schooble in that way.
34:40
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, and here's the thing to remember, is
34:42
Speaker 1: like Freddy Peralta and go back to Corbyn Burns with
34:46
Speaker 1: a salary cap. The Brewers could conceivably have extended Corbin Burns.
34:50
Speaker 1: Would that have been good business? Probably?
34:52
Speaker 3: Not? Right? Right? Oh yeah, yep, right, totally.
34:55
Speaker 1: The Brewers model is get them between twenty one and
34:59
Speaker 1: twenty and then squeeze the best ball out of them
35:02
Speaker 1: and say thanks for your service, we're gonna move on.
35:04
Speaker 3: Totally.
35:05
Speaker 1: That's not a broken model. In some cases, No, it
35:07
Speaker 1: hurts to let good guys go and it hurts. But
35:11
Speaker 1: not signing Prince Fielder worked out okay because his career
35:13
Speaker 1: ended a couple years after he left Milwaukee. Yeah, not
35:16
Speaker 1: signing Burns has worked out okay because he blew out
35:19
Speaker 1: and missed a year and like he's not maybe not
35:22
Speaker 1: gonna be the.
35:22
Speaker 3: Picture that he was.
35:23
Speaker 1: You got the best ball out of them, and their
35:26
Speaker 1: model is working. And now it's like again, like if
35:30
Speaker 1: there was a salar cap, would the Brewers be a
35:32
Speaker 1: player to sign school Probably still no right but to
35:36
Speaker 1: acquire him and have him help now would still be
35:38
Speaker 1: in the blueprint.
35:39
Speaker 3: Right, and it'd be more.
35:40
Speaker 2: You'd be probably more willing to give up the prospects
35:43
Speaker 2: for Schooble if you knew you had a little more
35:46
Speaker 2: money to work with, if you knew you had a
35:48
Speaker 2: little more revenue share to work with, ye, I would
35:51
Speaker 2: think you would be more willing to give up the prospects.
35:53
Speaker 2: Not that your model would be completely different if a
35:55
Speaker 2: salary cap and flour comes in, the model is not
35:57
Speaker 2: going to be completely different, but it's going to give
35:59
Speaker 2: you a little more flaxability.
36:00
Speaker 3: It just shows the just.
36:02
Speaker 2: The inequal you know, the unequal playing field that we're
36:06
Speaker 2: in right here, major League Baseball.
36:07
Speaker 3: Very true.
36:08

37:38
Speaker 3: Oh waken, big story.
37:40
Speaker 1: A lawsuit's been filed against Comcasts Cable Division.
37:45
Speaker 3: You ever been to a retail store.
37:46
Speaker 1: To like, drop your box off or exchange equipment at
37:49
Speaker 1: one of those cable stores. Sure, well, dealing with the
37:51
Speaker 1: cable company can always be frustrating. Yeah, But in Plainfields, Connecticut, Plainville, Connecticut,
37:58
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they have a policy that the highest ranked
38:01
Speaker 1: retail sales consultant for the month. Little contest was instructed
38:06
Speaker 1: by his supervisor that part of the perk of that
38:11
Speaker 1: was you got to take the lowest ranked sales associate
38:15
Speaker 1: of the month, tie them to a chair and hit
38:18
Speaker 1: them with a pie in the face. There's an incentive.
38:23
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, violently smashing a pie into the face. David
38:27
Speaker 1: Figureau was one of those employees, and he was hired
38:31
Speaker 1: as a sales consultant in February, and he was supervised
38:35
Speaker 1: by his manager, Sully Fwintes Peterson, and he said that
38:39
Speaker 1: this Peterson guy designed and implemented the pie in the
38:42
Speaker 1: face ritual to meet goals related to sales and positive
38:44
Speaker 1: responses and customer surveys. But when he was hired, he
38:48
Speaker 1: wasn't told of this and he didn't think it was great.
38:51
Speaker 1: So he is now suing Comcast that they were negligent
38:56
Speaker 1: in this this uh in overseeing this operation.
39:02
Speaker 3: Wow, reasonably should have known.
39:05
Speaker 1: About the stores management policies and the policies could harm employees.
39:09
Speaker 1: Comcasts failed to properly supervise the stores management team. And
39:13
Speaker 1: he's suing all the way up the chain. That's kind
39:16
Speaker 1: of frustrating a hunter, I mean, oh my god, in
39:20
Speaker 1: this day and age, a good agea just wanting to
39:23
Speaker 1: have a sales contest to incentivize people to work hard
39:27
Speaker 1: and to be good with customers.
39:28
Speaker 3: And stuff. Now.
39:29
Speaker 1: Comcast allegedly has a zero tolerance for harassment, humiliation, or
39:33
Speaker 1: any behavior that compromises a respectful and safe workplace. Doesn't
39:37
Speaker 1: apply in the face to the lowest performing sales associates.
39:41
Speaker 1: Sound like it's harassment, humiliation and behavior that is compromising
39:45
Speaker 1: and respectful and safe workplace.
39:47
Speaker 2: Sounds like it. Definitely sounds like it.
39:49
Speaker 1: So figure out is seeking compensatory damages for past and
39:52
Speaker 1: future economic losses and for emotional distress.
39:55
Speaker 3: Filed the complaint July night.
39:57
Speaker 1: So he worked there six months, and they had a
40:02
Speaker 1: chart in the back office that ranked store sales staff
40:04
Speaker 1: and identified the employees who either have been recently assaulted
40:06
Speaker 1: or were scheduled to be assaulted. In this way, you
40:10
Speaker 1: have to look at a board to see that. You're
40:11
Speaker 1: going to get a pie in the face, right, What
40:14
Speaker 1: come on?
40:14
Speaker 3: Depends on what kind of pie it is.
40:16
Speaker 1: If it's you know, if it's French silk or something
40:19
Speaker 1: might be delicious, but it afterwards That is our four
40:23
Speaker 1: to twenty waken bake story. If you're managing a retail outlet,
40:26
Speaker 1: don't do that.
