1:13
Speaker 1: Ethletic Hall of Fame. I saw the announcement Friday and
1:16
Speaker 1: we wanted to hit you up to let you tell
1:17
Speaker 1: some folks about what you got there.
1:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:19
Speaker 3: Really, this is I mean, this is something pretty cool.
1:20
Speaker 3: We're very excited about it. We're launching our first membership
1:23
Speaker 3: kind of program here so you can join the Hall
1:25
Speaker 3: of Fame. We have three levels from the kind of
1:26
Speaker 3: the introductory level, to the medium level to the all
1:30
Speaker 3: exclusive level where you get access to everything.
1:32
Speaker 5: And the whole idea here is really.
1:33
Speaker 3: To give people access to these Hall of Famers, access
1:37
Speaker 3: to our programs where these Hall of Famers are at Drew.
1:39
Speaker 3: I mean for you know this. You, I mean, you've
1:42
Speaker 3: been involved a long time. You know what goes on here.
1:44
Speaker 3: There's some incredible names involved in this organization. I mean,
1:47
Speaker 3: if you look who's in the Hall of Fame, from
1:48
Speaker 3: Hank Aaron to Vince Lombardi to UH to the Buds
1:54
Speaker 3: Feeling to you. I mean even nowadays you can you
1:56
Speaker 3: can come to an event and see Bonnie Blair, Binal Driver,
2:05
Speaker 3: and there's just a lot of great names involved here
2:07
Speaker 3: and really the ability to have access to them, I mean,
2:10
Speaker 3: I mean they have access to program is important. It's
2:12
Speaker 3: also about the long running kind of thing here. We've
2:14
Speaker 3: been around a long time, almost coming up on eighty years,
2:17
Speaker 3: and it's important to continue this tradition.
2:19
Speaker 5: So we do.
2:20
Speaker 3: You know, we really wanted to launch just as a
2:21
Speaker 3: way to have loyal kind of members to be it
2:25
Speaker 3: to be involved with the hall all year long, so
2:28
Speaker 3: to I mean, you know this, you've been around a
2:30
Speaker 3: long time. It's a cool thing, it really is. I
2:32
Speaker 3: mean kind of walk down near the arena there and
2:35
Speaker 3: to see the names on the plaques. It's just a
2:37
Speaker 3: cool thing to see.
2:39
Speaker 4: It's really I was able to walk my three year
2:41
Speaker 4: old and one year older and then now the one
2:43
Speaker 4: year old Mark didn't understand anything. However, my three year
2:46
Speaker 4: old watches the ninety six Super Bowl documentary on YouTube
2:49
Speaker 4: every day, so I got to walk by Leroy Butler
2:52
Speaker 4: and Reggie Wie and Brett Farman, and he was just
2:55
Speaker 4: in awe to see and that kind of ability to
2:59
Speaker 4: tell the stories of these athletes to the next generation.
3:02
Speaker 4: How cool has that been because it is something that
3:04
Speaker 4: stands that test the time. There are the Dave Robinson's
3:07
Speaker 4: of the world. My dad's told me about.
3:09
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of cool. Well when you walk
3:10
Speaker 3: down that row and you see the names and you
3:12
Speaker 3: forget who all played here, whether it was in hockey,
3:15
Speaker 3: whether it was in college, whether it wasn't for the Packers,
3:18
Speaker 3: the Brewers, the Bucks, so many great names. Even just
3:20
Speaker 3: in the past few years, being able to put Ernie
3:23
Speaker 3: Johnson in. I mean, who knew Ernie Johnson grew up
3:25
Speaker 3: here in his history and his love for the city
3:28
Speaker 3: city obviously, Joe Thomas last year, Mason Crosby, you know,
3:33
Speaker 3: obviously our class of this year with Mark Murphy and
3:35
Speaker 3: Ryan Braun. I mean, just think of just I mean
3:37
Speaker 3: that's just the last few years. Go back to you know,
3:40
Speaker 3: the Hank Aarons and the Bonnie Blayers and Eric Heiden's
3:44
Speaker 3: and you know, I mean kind kind of what I
3:46
Speaker 3: think is cool about this is that it's just not
3:47
Speaker 3: the Brewers, Bucks and Hackers. It's all sports. So you
3:53
Speaker 3: have these speed skaters, you have a sailor, for a
3:56
Speaker 3: yacht with Buddy Hellgus. You had just some great games
4:01
Speaker 3: of the individuals who had tremendous impact on our state.
4:04
Speaker 3: And I think you're right. You know, I mean to
4:05
Speaker 3: show your three year old and to show your one
4:07
Speaker 3: year old, and to show all the future. It's important
4:10
Speaker 3: that this Hall of Fame lives on. And I mean,
4:13
Speaker 3: here's a great opportunity to to one help support us,
4:16
Speaker 3: but two to learn more about it.
4:17
Speaker 1: By becoming a member, you get advanced notice of events.
4:20
Speaker 1: And you guys, don't just do the induction ceremony This
4:22
Speaker 1: year July eighth at the Marcus Center. Fabulous. Uh, always
4:27
Speaker 1: an awesome name. Yeah, it's it's great. That's like, yeah,
4:30
Speaker 1: that's it's a great it's a great night. Last year,
4:33
Speaker 1: Ernie Johnson brought the house down with his speech, and
4:35
Speaker 1: this year with Ryan Braun and Mark Murphy and Bob Gansler,
4:38
Speaker 1: who was one of the first coaches I covered when
4:40
Speaker 1: as a college student covering the UWM soccer team. He
4:42
Speaker 1: was a soccer legend. Coach, is a US team in
4:44
Speaker 1: the World Cup. He's been, he's a he's a national
4:47
Speaker 1: slash international star and Milwaukee's own and Bob Gansler's is
4:52
Speaker 1: a great addition to the hall for sure, And you're
4:55
Speaker 1: recognizing some other athletes, some Olympians. But you guys have
4:58
Speaker 1: luncheons and programming. And I was our friends at Central
5:01
Speaker 1: Standard shameless plug for Central Standard Craft Distance the Craft
5:05
Speaker 1: House in Kitchen where you had a little intimate sit
5:07
Speaker 1: down with Marcus Johnson that you taped the podcast with
5:10
Speaker 1: and let people watch that. And that was really cool
5:12
Speaker 1: to go see Marcus kind of unfiltered. It was great.
5:15
Speaker 1: He has so many stories and another he was.
5:17
Speaker 3: Unfiltered that night, wasn't he Yes telling great stories.
5:20
Speaker 1: Great stories about white men can't jump the auditioned in.
5:24
Speaker 3: The movie, stories about guys that he played against, and
5:27
Speaker 3: you know, kind of that kind of thing. We've done.
5:29
Speaker 3: Now we've done a couple of those. We have one more.
5:30
Speaker 3: We have three more plan this year. But actually we
5:32
Speaker 3: did one with with Bondie Blair, I mean in January
5:36
Speaker 3: is a preview for the Olympics, and you know she
5:38
Speaker 3: talked about this guy named named Jordan Stoles and she
5:40
Speaker 3: said he'll do pretty well.
5:41
Speaker 4: Well.
5:42
Speaker 3: I think he did pretty well.
5:43
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:44
Speaker 3: You know, to have these access to these athletes and
5:47
Speaker 3: these stars and just the ability to hear them talking,
5:50
Speaker 3: to hear the stories. The thing I loved, Drew and
5:52
Speaker 3: you're right, was the stories Marcus told, the stories about Milwaukee,
5:55
Speaker 3: him coming to Milwaukee and not owning a winter coat
5:58
Speaker 3: and he's kind of learning how to do it, just
6:00
Speaker 3: to living in Milwaukee after you know, obviously growing up
6:02
Speaker 3: in LA and you know, it's just to me, that's
6:05
Speaker 3: what's cool about the Hall of Fame. Someone who loves sports.
6:07
Speaker 3: You guys all love sports, to hear these, to hear
6:09
Speaker 3: these in those kind of kind of had these stories.
6:12
Speaker 3: I mean, Ernie Johnson last year, anybody who didn't leave
6:15
Speaker 3: that room with just some great kind of experiences and
6:18
Speaker 3: kind of lessons. I mean, he taught us about life
6:21
Speaker 3: that night through I mean, he just things that were
6:23
Speaker 3: just amazing. And you know, kind of this year, I'm
6:25
Speaker 3: looking forward to Ryan Bron. Think of Ryan Bron's career,
6:27
Speaker 3: what he did in Milwaukee and the stories he's gonna
6:30
Speaker 3: have to tell about, you know, eight and what he
6:32
Speaker 3: did with CC's Sabbathia and then the twelve team in
6:35
Speaker 3: terms of making the playoffs and kind of what that.
6:37
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just cool stuff for people that love sports.
6:40
Speaker 3: But I also think it's just important to all of
6:41
Speaker 3: us to understand what this Hall of Fame means to
6:43
Speaker 3: our region.
6:45
Speaker 1: July eighth is the induction ceremony of July twentieth. You
6:48
Speaker 1: got a golf outing right at Grand Geneva, WI. Hall
6:51
Speaker 1: of Fame dot com is the website to learn about this.
6:53
Speaker 1: But the membership program is like it's a sustaining thing,
6:56
Speaker 1: and it's an insider thing. People like to be insiders.
6:58
Speaker 1: You'll get a ticket, so layoff first if you would
7:01
Speaker 1: mark the levels of membership and what people can get
7:05
Speaker 1: by joining the Hall right now.
7:07
Speaker 3: You know, right now, you can kind of get in
7:08
Speaker 3: for just a small amount of money, I think seventy
7:16
Speaker 3: five a year, just kind of get into things. You get,
7:18
Speaker 3: I mean you get to come to the induction event
7:20
Speaker 3: right there. I mean there's one hundred dollars value. You
7:23
Speaker 3: get access to some of our events. You get an
7:26
Speaker 3: exclusive autograph item from one of our legends. To the
7:28
Speaker 3: all access programs I think is probably the I think
7:31
Speaker 3: the number one thing for people, and that's and at
7:36
Speaker 3: a couple hundred dollars. I mean there again, you get
7:39
Speaker 3: access to the induction, you get a VIP walk on
7:42
Speaker 3: the Walk of Fame, so you guys could take your
7:43
Speaker 3: kids down there with us and get explained to who
7:45
Speaker 3: these people are. And kind of Hall of Fame came about,
7:47
Speaker 3: and then kind of our Legends Club and one that's
7:49
Speaker 3: I think cool because you get pretty much access to everything.
7:51
Speaker 3: We have a lot of events from kind of you,
7:53
Speaker 3: as you said, we have, you know, with Speaker series
7:55
Speaker 3: and the podcast. You're talking about eight or nine or
7:59
Speaker 3: more events a year, and that every one of these
8:02
Speaker 3: events is one of the Hall of Famers. So that's
8:04
Speaker 3: a cool thing about this. This is not just me
8:06
Speaker 3: up there talking to you up there talking Drew. It's
8:08
Speaker 3: the Hall of Famers who all these people want to see.
8:11
Speaker 3: So to me, that's the cool part of this. It's
8:13
Speaker 3: access you guys. You know, we all love access to
8:15
Speaker 3: these guys. And what's interesting is I have not of
8:18
Speaker 3: all the and I've been doing this now for a
8:19
Speaker 3: couple of years, every one of the Hall of Famers
8:22
Speaker 3: I've met has been so nice and so open to talk.
8:25
Speaker 3: And you know the other thing, they love They love
8:27
Speaker 3: Milwaukee and they love Wisconsin, even if they're not from here.
8:30
Speaker 3: I mean, like like you talked to obviously, like Mason Crosby,
8:34
Speaker 3: and he talks about how this is home for him
8:36
Speaker 3: now even though he was you know, he grew up
8:38
Speaker 3: somewhere else. These guys love the state and they love Wisconsin.
8:41
Speaker 3: To they hear them really talk about that is pretty cool.
8:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was like a mon Green a couple
8:45
Speaker 1: of years ago.
8:45
Speaker 4: I got the blader of being with him on stage
8:48
Speaker 4: when he got inducted and he spoke to somebody that
8:50
Speaker 4: did just now he just lives here now and now
8:52
Speaker 4: is this is his home? And the amount of events
8:55
Speaker 4: mark that was one that I didn't necessarily, as Shack
8:59
Speaker 4: said one time, unfamiliar with your game.
9:01
Speaker 1: I didn't really.
9:01
Speaker 4: I thought it was kind of just the one big event,
9:03
Speaker 4: the podcast and everything. The amount of events is a
9:07
Speaker 4: little bit eye opening to a lot of people that
9:09
Speaker 4: just don't think fully understand how many of you guys actually.
9:12
Speaker 3: Have, you know, And I think that's important because the
9:14
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame is cool, but if you don't have
9:16
Speaker 3: access to it and you don't hear about it, it's
9:19
Speaker 3: just those plaques on the plaques on the walkway, which
9:21
Speaker 3: is great, I mean, don't get me wrong, but the
9:23
Speaker 3: opportunity here we're doing one in June with Steve Novak
9:26
Speaker 3: and the CEO of actually for the Actually Market University.
9:31
Speaker 3: In fall, we'll have a CEO and another athlete on stage.
9:35
Speaker 3: You know, we've we've I mean, I can kind of
9:38
Speaker 3: let this other back. We're going to do a podcast
9:40
Speaker 3: here soon with am On Green, you know, I mean,
9:42
Speaker 3: I've been talking to him on and he wants to
9:44
Speaker 3: come back. He wants to come on. He's going to
9:46
Speaker 3: be here for our event on the twentieth July for Golf.
9:50
Speaker 3: So you don't want to do a podcast with them
9:51
Speaker 3: just to give you access to what they're doing now.
9:54
Speaker 3: And but I a still think the stories again. It
9:56
Speaker 3: gets back to when you get to ask Sidney Moncrief
10:03
Speaker 3: kind of what was like to play against Michael Jordan
10:06
Speaker 3: and he tells you it's not a big deal. I'm like,
10:07
Speaker 3: come on, said it was a big d's Like no
10:09
Speaker 3: I had. I had to approach him like any other
10:11
Speaker 3: player because I wanted to be that guy. So it
10:14
Speaker 3: was you know, I mean, or to get to ask
10:16
Speaker 3: kind of you get to ask Crosby about his one
10:18
Speaker 3: and only kind of lamble leap and to hear about
10:21
Speaker 3: that and you know how he made it on that
10:23
Speaker 3: day when his wife was in the stands the first
10:25
Speaker 3: time after getting over cancer and hearing stories like that.
10:28
Speaker 3: To me, I mean, the access to these guys and
10:31
Speaker 3: these women is just incredible because of the stories you
10:33
Speaker 3: get him. And here's a good one. You talk about
10:36
Speaker 3: Bonnie Blair. She had won her last Olympic medal. Yeah,
10:40
Speaker 3: you know, she told us that she could have gone
10:42
Speaker 3: home for a parade in all the gupla. But do
10:44
Speaker 3: you know what she did. She went to another race.
10:46
Speaker 3: I believe it was in Norway, so she could because
10:49
Speaker 3: she wanted to have her all time time. She didn't
10:51
Speaker 3: want to go home at the Olympics. She wanted to go. Actually, racing,
10:56
Speaker 3: isn't that incredibly Here's stories like that where they're just
10:58
Speaker 3: i mean the drive of the people that they are
11:00
Speaker 3: and just how they're made up. I think it is
11:01
Speaker 3: a great way to learn, well, I think so.
11:04
Speaker 6: I think those little stories and tidbits are what we
11:05
Speaker 6: all love and the and the chance to you know,
11:08
Speaker 6: walk on that that Hall of Fame walkway and look
11:11
Speaker 6: at all those plaques, look at the names and consider them.
11:13
Speaker 6: All the sports fans, local sports fans love that love
11:16
Speaker 6: knowing the connection those guys, those team you know, players,
11:19
Speaker 6: or figures have made in our community, and it's really
11:22
Speaker 6: a great thing. So I think it's one of the
11:24
Speaker 6: underrated things people don't realize we have think about, and
11:27
Speaker 6: it's really a great thing to experience, witness and a
11:29
Speaker 6: great thing to be involved in.
11:31

13:04
Speaker 6: like our own little sports hall fame right there. It
13:06
Speaker 6: is obviously was Gonce Athletic Hall Fame. But we had
13:09
Speaker 6: the placks right there, so maybe we can expand that.

Speaker 1: nicolay lot dot com talk text and I's still time
14:11
Speaker 1: for you to get us your game balls and kicks
14:13
Speaker 1: the balls. Oh and before we'd be remiss if we
14:15
Speaker 1: didn't mention the passing of Sherm Lewis, former Packers.
14:17
Speaker 6: Offensive Yes, Sir Lewis was a legendary member of the
14:21
Speaker 6: coaching staff those nineties Packers. He was Mike Holmgrean's right
14:25
Speaker 6: hand man ninety two to ninety nine, the offensive coordinator.
14:27
Speaker 6: And for a lot of fans that don't remember from
14:31
Speaker 6: that great offensive staff, you know, he was kind of
14:33
Speaker 6: the one that gets forgotten about.
14:34
Speaker 1: Because he didn't get the head job opportunity.
14:36
Speaker 6: It's like like he went through the air enemy stuff
14:39
Speaker 6: that they went through now because Mike obviously there, made
14:43
Speaker 6: all the play calls, put the installation in and got
14:45
Speaker 6: a lot of pup from that, and eventually, you know,
14:47
Speaker 6: Andy Reid and Gruden and all those guys got jobs
14:49
Speaker 6: and and he didn't really get a chance and probably
14:51
Speaker 6: should have, you know, for one reason or another.
14:53
Speaker 1: So Sherm Lewis rest in peace.
14:55
Speaker 6: He was a great, great member of the Packers coaching
14:57
Speaker 6: staff in the nineties.
14:58
Speaker 1: Also held it down to the stadium view quite often.
15:00
Speaker 1: There you go, well, legend legend in that corner.
15:04
Speaker 6: Mike, Mike Comrian told a great story about one of
15:08
Speaker 6: the games in ninety six was against the Rams and
15:10
Speaker 6: the Packers have been struggling, and Mike's is in the
15:13
Speaker 6: America's Game documentary that he got so emotional that he
15:17
Speaker 6: couldn't call it anymore, and he told Sherman to call it.
15:19
Speaker 1: You call it. I can't see my plays anymore in
15:21
Speaker 1: the play sheet. You call it.
15:23
Speaker 6: And the Packers came back and won that game, and
15:25
Speaker 6: that kind of turned the season around in ninety six.
15:27
Speaker 1: And people remember, so did he call the Doug Evans
15:29
Speaker 1: pick six?
15:29
Speaker 6: Only he called that one. I'm sure he was happy about.
15:32
Speaker 6: That was the big play, as you remember, Billie, Yes,
15:35
Speaker 6: it was a big play. Offense got going in the
15:37
Speaker 6: second half there. Brett had something to do with that.
15:39
Speaker 6: But you know, that was just a cool story. I thought, yeah, very.
15:42
Speaker 1: Sure, you call it. I can't you call it, shirm,
15:45
Speaker 1: I can't call it. That's pretty wild. Before we before
15:49
Speaker 1: we say it, wrap up this segment and get ready
15:51
Speaker 1: to have Hunter Bombgart join us. Kick to the balls
15:53
Speaker 1: to whoever broke into the Nashville Sounds clubhouse and stole equipment.
15:57
Speaker 4: Okay, I thought that video was ai I watched. I
16:02
Speaker 4: thought it was way too good to be actual. I
16:05
Speaker 4: thought it was way too clean of a walk in.
16:07
Speaker 4: I thought it was totally I thought those.
16:08
Speaker 6: Two idiots sauntering in like they were like really fooling everybody,
16:12
Speaker 6: like real slow like sauntering.
16:14
Speaker 1: No one's gonna no one's gonna look at me. Is

16:29

16:31
Speaker 1: like behind enemy lines. And then Brewers Cubs this evening

16:52
Speaker 1: let's have a uh, let's have a team meeting, shall
16:55
Speaker 1: we Let's welcome in Hunter Bombard our baseball. Go to
16:57
Speaker 1: guys who I didn't know that you were in Minneapolis
17:01
Speaker 1: behind enemy lines this weekend. What was that like?
17:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning, guys.
17:06
Speaker 2: I went to the Saturday night game, the one they
17:09
Speaker 2: won two to one, the Henderson Patrick Show, and it
17:14
Speaker 2: was great. It was my first time ever at target Field.
17:16
Speaker 2: Just just went as a fan and enjoyed it. And
17:19
Speaker 2: I tell you, the let's go Brewers chants were early
17:22
Speaker 2: and often even before first pitch. Yeah, a lot of
17:25
Speaker 2: lot of Brewers fans made the trip to target Field.
17:28
Speaker 2: And you could argue him as maybe louder when the
17:31
Speaker 2: Brewers did something good rather than the Twins.
17:34
Speaker 5: I know. You know, Twins fans are not as.
17:36
Speaker 2: Exactly happy with the state of their ball club right now,
17:39
Speaker 2: and I think that kind of showed with the passion
17:41
Speaker 2: over the weekend of the two fan bases. But yeah,
17:43
Speaker 2: it was loud in there when Cherio hit that go
17:45
Speaker 2: ahead home run.
17:46
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that much.
17:46
Speaker 1: You saw history. You saw Chad Patrick's first save.
17:49
Speaker 2: Right, I can say I was there, you know when
17:54
Speaker 2: people ask about it thirty years down the road, right right,
17:57
Speaker 2: Patrick's first save.
17:58
Speaker 5: I was there.
17:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, that historic mom I thought even better, you mentioned
18:02
Speaker 4: the let's go Brewers chance, the visual in the ninth
18:06
Speaker 4: inning when the game is about to get wrapped up,
18:08
Speaker 4: and the whole lower level Hunters seemed like it was
18:11
Speaker 4: just all Brewers fans, target city takeover. We like that, right,
18:16
Speaker 4: Let's take that thing over and enjoy it. They're not
18:18
Speaker 4: happy about a whole lot of things now. Luckily they're
18:20
Speaker 4: hockey team and basketball team painted themselves in gloria over
18:23
Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks, so they can be happy
18:25
Speaker 4: about that one. But for the excitement of the lineup
18:28
Speaker 4: you mentioned the Cheerio homer on Saturday, you get the
18:31
Speaker 4: Yelich bomb in his first game in a couple of
18:32
Speaker 4: days yesterday, albeit you into a three. Maybe not a
18:38
Speaker 4: great offensive vibe rolling into Chicago, but it could be
18:41
Speaker 4: a heck of a lot worse as you're a game
18:42
Speaker 4: and a half back going up against the North Siders,
18:44
Speaker 4: who you're still chasing.
18:46
Speaker 2: For sure, and you have your guys back now with
18:48
Speaker 2: Yelich coming back yesterday, great to see a home run too.
18:51
Speaker 2: I mean that's just the cherry on top of him
18:53
Speaker 2: just being in the lineup was the most important thing. Yesterday,
18:56
Speaker 2: get a game under his belt before you go to Wrigley.
18:59
Speaker 2: Obviously you know you want him for that that series
19:01
Speaker 2: starting tonight at regular, but great to get him a
19:04
Speaker 2: game and get him some confidence with that home run too.
19:07
Speaker 2: So now you have I mean, I mean, we're I
19:10
Speaker 2: feel like we're a day to day with Yellish's back
19:12
Speaker 2: right now. But assuming all things went well yesterday and
19:15
Speaker 2: he wakes up feeling good today, then you are set
19:18
Speaker 2: to go for tonight and yell You know, you go
19:22
Speaker 2: back to May fourth, when Churio and Vaughan were activated,
19:24
Speaker 2: and that was fourteen days ago.
19:26
Speaker 5: The Brewers are eight and three since that day.
19:29
Speaker 2: They're you know, in their eleven games since Churio and
19:31
Speaker 2: Vaughan were activated. I have a feeling we may look
19:34
Speaker 2: back on that day as the season goes on. It
19:36
Speaker 2: is kind of a little bit of the turning point,
19:38
Speaker 2: because look, the expectations for this team were high, as
19:41
Speaker 2: we know, coming off of what last season was. But
19:44
Speaker 2: when you lose three of your top five hitters, that
19:46
Speaker 2: that it just is going to change the fabric of
19:49
Speaker 2: your team.
19:49
Speaker 5: And we saw that.
19:51
Speaker 2: The good news is they were able to tread water,
19:53
Speaker 2: and now they're starting to take off. I mean, this
19:55
Speaker 2: team is five and oho one in their last six series.
19:57
Speaker 2: They haven't lost a series since that Pittsburgh series when
20:00
Speaker 2: Paul Skeins came in and almost no hit him. You know,
20:03
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft weekend there in Milwaukee. So that was
20:06
Speaker 2: the last time they lost a series. And that's how
20:09
Speaker 2: you want to feel heading into this series in Chicago.
20:12
Speaker 1: We are chatting with Hunter bombgret our baseball go to guy.
20:14
Speaker 1: He joins us on Mondays and Thursdays. He's brought to
20:16
Speaker 1: us by import Minded, your trusted a source for exceptional
20:19
Speaker 1: vehicle care on South twenty seventh Street, just off of
20:21
Speaker 1: eight ninety four. Can't miss it in that kind of
20:24
Speaker 1: car alley. Yeah, that is that street armand knows it
20:28
Speaker 1: very well.
20:28
Speaker 5: Hunter.
20:29
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is intentional or not, but
20:30
Speaker 1: the way it laid out in the last two games
20:32
Speaker 1: against the Twins, the Brewers enter this series against the
20:34
Speaker 1: Cubs and it is what it is. It's the first meeting,
20:37
Speaker 1: it's the Cubs first time they've played since you know,
20:40
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. But the top of the bullpen
20:43
Speaker 1: is rested and ready. You mentioned what happened on Saturday night,
20:47
Speaker 1: but yesterday they went Gasser Anderson Hall Woodford and now
20:52
Speaker 1: you know the main guys, the arms are ready. So
20:55
Speaker 1: that and with that, and with Sproude, who's been hot lately,
20:58
Speaker 1: and then the miz this shapes up to be a
21:01
Speaker 1: pretty pretty exciting series. I don't think the Brewers could
21:03
Speaker 1: go into this much better place than they are right now,
21:06
Speaker 1: other than stranding runners all weekend.
21:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the tough part.
21:11
Speaker 2: It's like they had I think Adam mccalvey putt it
21:14
Speaker 2: yesterday that they had eleventy nine chances yesterday the Minnesota legends,
21:18
Speaker 2: because it was just like, oh, and Churio himself was
21:21
Speaker 2: stranding you know, guys left and right yesterday and it
21:24
Speaker 2: was like, oh, just one of them, one of them
21:26
Speaker 2: goes three and you through and you probably win the game.
21:28
Speaker 5: And they're eight and two in their last ten.
21:29
Speaker 2: And the two losses are like a ninth inning loss
21:32
Speaker 2: when you were one out away and then a one
21:33
Speaker 2: run loss yesterday with the tying run ninety feet away.
21:35
Speaker 2: That's how good you know they've been playing overall. But
21:37
Speaker 2: you're right about the bullpen. I mean, an Reba.
21:40
Speaker 5: Is not pitching. In a few days. He was up both.
21:43
Speaker 2: I believe Friday and or he pitched Friday, so he
21:47
Speaker 2: and then he was up on Saturday but did not pitch.
21:49
Speaker 2: So he hasn't pitched Saturday or Sunday, which is good.
21:51
Speaker 2: McGill didn't pitch Saturday or Sunday, so that's good as well.
21:54
Speaker 2: Good to see him get the one run save. I
21:56
Speaker 2: think that was big for him on Friday night, So
22:00
Speaker 2: don't let that go unnoticed. But yes, you have your guys.
22:02
Speaker 2: Aaron Ashby didn't pitch in the last couple of days.
22:04
Speaker 2: I gotta think that was a little bit of the
22:06
Speaker 2: strategy wise going into Chicago. Also, Hey, as Pat Murphy
22:12
Speaker 2: put it to us last week when talking about Chad Patrick,
22:14
Speaker 2: He's like, we know this guy's a multi ning guy.
22:17
Speaker 2: He can go three to four innings. Now is that
22:19
Speaker 2: in the front of a game, back of the game,
22:20
Speaker 2: middle of the game. You know, it's kind of like
22:22
Speaker 2: the opponent doesn't know. And they just rode with Chad
22:25
Speaker 2: Patrick on Saturday night and it worked and that was
22:27
Speaker 2: magnificent and obviously held the bullpen to where it was
22:31
Speaker 2: yesterday with Gaser going on the four innings, you were like,
22:33
Speaker 2: how are they going to cover it? They are able
22:34
Speaker 2: to do so without some of their top guys, even
22:36
Speaker 2: in a close game, so they are set up.
22:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, that bullpen's set up really well.
22:40
Speaker 4: Now, great lead in Hunter, because you knew you read
22:42
Speaker 4: my mind, you read my eyes, you knew exactly where
22:44
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about that Chad Patrick
22:45
Speaker 4: move last week. You said it like Murph, let us
22:48
Speaker 4: know he's gonna give us some bulk at some particular
22:50
Speaker 4: point in time. We just don't know when it's potentially
22:53
Speaker 4: going to be. I think we've had this conversation like
22:56
Speaker 4: does it matter when your best picture throws? As long
22:59
Speaker 4: as he's out there, they're dealing, and if it's in
23:01
Speaker 4: the back end of the game, maybe it ends up
23:03
Speaker 4: being better for you. Do you think that's a pairing
23:06
Speaker 4: or is it just Chad Patrick could be deployed at
23:10
Speaker 4: any given time. You got to imagine his rest days
23:12
Speaker 4: are going to be a little bit different. I don't
23:14
Speaker 4: know they're gonna keepim on a regular starter, but feels
23:16
Speaker 4: like he could be a little bit of a fireman
23:18
Speaker 4: or pair him up with Logan Henderson.
23:20
Speaker 1: That's a nice one two combo.
23:22
Speaker 5: For sure. You do like that one too, combo. I
23:25
Speaker 5: think with Chad.
23:26
Speaker 2: It is not necessarily going to be paired with a
23:29
Speaker 2: specific pitcher. But when you have these young guys who
23:32
Speaker 2: at times you know, may that pitch count may go up.
23:34
Speaker 2: We saw with Gasser yesterday to a certain extent we
23:36
Speaker 2: saw with Henderson on Saturday, because he was just working
23:39
Speaker 2: around a lot of traffic. Only gave up one or
23:41
Speaker 2: run over five innings, but there was a lot of
23:43
Speaker 2: traffic against him. He was able to get out of
23:45
Speaker 2: some jams, which is great, and then that led to
23:47
Speaker 2: that win. But when you have young pictures like that,
23:50
Speaker 2: you may need to cover some more out of the
23:52
Speaker 2: bullpen and maybe using a guy who can give you length,
23:55
Speaker 2: who's been a good starter for you better guild bullpen
23:57
Speaker 2: arm for you.
23:58
Speaker 5: Really in any role.
23:59
Speaker 2: He's been pretty pretty solid for you over the last
24:02
Speaker 2: year plus. You can use him in that role after
24:06
Speaker 2: any of these young pitchers. So I do think you'll
24:09
Speaker 2: continue to see that. Whether it's just with Henderson, I'm
24:11
Speaker 2: not sure, but with these other pitchers you could see
24:14
Speaker 2: him piggyback. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him
24:16
Speaker 2: start at some point if they think the matchup is
24:18
Speaker 2: right with the lineup that one of these opponents. Is
24:20
Speaker 2: throwing out there that maybe he gets another start, but
24:23
Speaker 2: I think he's in the bullpen, you know, until further notice.
24:26
Speaker 2: I mean Saturday night. He said after the game that
24:28
Speaker 2: like they they were, there was no conversations between innings.
24:30
Speaker 2: It was just like, all right, go get him chat,
24:32
Speaker 2: all right, go get them chat. You know, you just
24:33
Speaker 2: kept going, kept going till they told him not to.
24:35
Speaker 2: They had to rebay up on the ninth, but didn't
24:37
Speaker 2: need it. He was able to get a smooth ninth
24:39
Speaker 2: inning and and get that win. So I do think
24:42
Speaker 2: that this is going to be more of what we
24:45
Speaker 2: see out of Chad Patrick. I mean, when you look
24:46
Speaker 2: at what the Brewers have in their rotation, right if
24:48
Speaker 2: you take the last or like the six guys Crow
24:51
Speaker 2: started Friday, then Henderson, then Gasser, and then you have
24:54
Speaker 2: sprote Miserowski and Harrison against the Chicago.
24:58
Speaker 5: So that's like six guys, well they all stay up.
25:00
Speaker 5: I don't know.
25:00
Speaker 2: I mean, if I've I were to pick an odd
25:02
Speaker 2: man out, I think the clear one might be Gasser
25:04
Speaker 2: at this point. But okay, if you have a rotation
25:07
Speaker 2: right now of Crow, Henderson, sprote Mizerowski, and Harrison, signed
25:11
Speaker 2: me up because that's fantastic and this starting pitching overall
25:15
Speaker 2: has been great. Uh and so and then you line
25:17
Speaker 2: up Chad Patrick maybe after one of those guys or
25:20
Speaker 2: just Win kneeded out of the bullpen.
25:21
Speaker 5: Maybe you forecast we think we're gonna need you this day,
25:23
Speaker 5: but be ready this day. I think you're in a
25:26
Speaker 5: great spot.
25:27
Speaker 1: And uh, that's another perfect leading. He's like the best
25:31
Speaker 1: assist guy. Because time for Orthopedic Cossosates of Wisconsin Injury
25:38
Speaker 1: Report Orthopedic Associates on Wisconsin Ortho Wisconsin dot com. There
25:42
Speaker 1: is a difference the best when it comes to world
25:44
Speaker 1: class care right here at home clinic opening in Johnson Creek.
25:46
Speaker 1: Let's check those guys out at ORTHO Wisconsin dot com.
25:50
Speaker 1: Quinn Priester, I keep on hearing bad news. He goes
25:52
Speaker 1: up to Appleton, has a rough time. I'm starting to
25:56
Speaker 1: think maybe this is just going to be a lost
25:58
Speaker 1: year for Quinn Priester. I mean, you hold out hope,
26:01
Speaker 1: but it's not trending in a great direction. And I
26:03
Speaker 1: have heard next to nothing about Brandon Woodruff's you know,
26:06
Speaker 1: catch and progress and where he's at with his bullpens.
26:08
Speaker 1: So can you update us on all the injuries brought
26:11
Speaker 1: to us by Orthbetic Associates of Wisconsin.
26:13
Speaker 2: Yes, well, the great news is that Yellich is back
26:16
Speaker 2: in the line up. But he hit a home run yesterday,
26:17
Speaker 2: so let's.
26:18
Speaker 1: Here we go.
26:18
Speaker 4: Let's all right, good news. First, I like knowing a
26:21
Speaker 4: lot better. Now we take the medicine, yes, exactly, exactly.
26:24
Speaker 4: So now now we put a smile on our faces.
26:26
Speaker 4: And now that may go away a little bit.
26:28
Speaker 2: But Quinn Priester, Yeah, rehab start for the Timber Ratlers
26:32
Speaker 2: yesterday or on Saturday. The first inning he worked around
26:35
Speaker 2: a single in a walk, But then the second inning
26:37
Speaker 2: went like this, single single hit by pitch, bases loaded walk,
26:41
Speaker 2: bases loaded walk RBI, single strikeout RBI single. He threw
26:46
Speaker 2: just twenty three of his forty seven pitches for strikes
26:49
Speaker 2: and he only got four out. The results continued to
26:52
Speaker 2: be really tough for Quinn Priester. Good I And again,
26:56
Speaker 2: when these guys go on these rehab assignments, it's not
26:58
Speaker 2: always about results. We remember on the offensive side, Cheerio
27:01
Speaker 2: went like one for whatever thirteen or whatever, one for
27:04
Speaker 2: eighteen in his rehab assignment last year.
27:06
Speaker 5: Came in and hit a home run in Toronto.
27:08
Speaker 2: But I think when it's pitching and when, especially with
27:11
Speaker 2: this injury, getting that feelback, getting the feelback in your
27:14
Speaker 2: wrist and how the ball comes out just doesn't seem
27:17
Speaker 2: like it's all clicking yet for Quinn Priesters. So I think,
27:20
Speaker 2: you know, I think the latest estimations were like early June.
27:22
Speaker 2: I gotta think every time he goes out and it
27:25
Speaker 2: doesn't go as well, maybe you know, that pushes back
27:27
Speaker 2: a little bit. So maybe we're talking early in the
27:29
Speaker 2: mid June. Now we'll we'll keep an eye on it,
27:32
Speaker 2: but obviously that's not great. Brandon Woodriff did throw a
27:36
Speaker 2: bullpen session late last week and it went well. He
27:40
Speaker 2: was pleased with it. It was a twenty five pitch
27:42
Speaker 2: bullpen session. His next bullpen is scheduled for today at
27:46
Speaker 2: Wrigley and this time he'll simulate going multiple innings. So
27:50
Speaker 2: that is kind of the next step for Wooddriff. Again,
27:52
Speaker 2: I would think of late May early June for Woodriff
27:55
Speaker 2: as well, So we're at May eighteenth. I would think,
27:59
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, Field necessarily need a rehab
28:01
Speaker 2: start from from what Pat Murphy has said, so maybe
28:04
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen to twenty days. We're out from him
28:07
Speaker 2: again late May, early June. It looks like for Woodrof.
28:10
Speaker 2: So those are the updates on the two pitchers. The boy,
28:13
Speaker 2: they are more than treading water without those guys in
28:15
Speaker 2: the rotation.
28:16
Speaker 1: That's the thing.
28:16
Speaker 6: And thankfully young guys have really stepped in and been great.
28:19
Speaker 6: And maybe Quinn maybe it was the flannel. I mean,
28:22
Speaker 6: he had to wear those uper uniforms and those are awful.
28:25
Speaker 6: The it was the Upera look my man was in.
28:29
Speaker 6: And I know it's not a real flannel, but it's
28:31
Speaker 6: like geez, I mean, you just get a hot.
28:32
Speaker 4: My man goes from starting game one of the NLCS
28:35
Speaker 4: to wearing jean like baseball pants. I know, what a life,
28:39
Speaker 4: What a life?
28:40
Speaker 6: You gotta get out to Billy, you got a baseball quickly,
28:43
Speaker 6: get any of them.
28:44
Speaker 4: It might might have to have to find himself out now,
28:48
Speaker 4: this one in particular this week.
28:49
Speaker 1: This week, sure, it's not going to decide anything Hunter.
28:53
Speaker 4: However, Brewers Cubs has some real juice, and off of
28:57
Speaker 4: the Cubs weekend where they lose the juice filled series
29:00
Speaker 4: against the Chicago White Sox does feel like two teams
29:03
Speaker 4: kind of both going. I'm not gonna say opposite directions
29:06
Speaker 4: because I don't think that something's gonna go in the
29:08
Speaker 4: tank for the north Siders. But they were so scolding
29:11
Speaker 4: hot Ken. Rosenthal put out a hilarious one minute video
29:14
Speaker 4: where he's like, h you s you know, Cup fans,
29:16
Speaker 4: Brewers are coming. Yeah, yeah, two ten game winning streaks
29:21
Speaker 4: and you only have a game and a half, right,
29:22
Speaker 4: So not helping a whole lot, but do you feel
29:25
Speaker 4: like this is going to be the excitement energy field
29:29
Speaker 4: series that I think Brewers fans are kind of building
29:31
Speaker 4: it up in their minds.
29:32
Speaker 5: I think so.
29:33
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bruis have gained four games on the
29:35
Speaker 2: Cubs in the last ten. They that's the difference. Right
29:38
Speaker 2: now they've gone eight and two, Cubs that went four
29:40
Speaker 2: and six. And this you know, these two are a
29:44
Speaker 2: lot closer than they were ten days ago, from five
29:47
Speaker 2: and a half out to one and a half out.
29:49
Speaker 2: And again it's not even a Memorial Day yet. You
29:51
Speaker 2: don't put a ton into the standings, but you look
29:53
Speaker 2: at how teams are doing and right now, yes, the
29:56
Speaker 2: Brewers are definitely hotter.
29:57
Speaker 5: I think it does.
29:58
Speaker 2: I think Cubs fans are definitely I mean, you get
30:00
Speaker 2: eliminated by your rival in the playoffs. I gotta think
30:02
Speaker 2: that every time you play him is going to mean something.
30:05
Speaker 2: So I think Wrigley is gonna probably be rocking and
30:07
Speaker 2: it'll be a great environment for baseball over the next
30:09
Speaker 2: three days. I mean, we saw Wriglarly rockin when they're
30:11
Speaker 2: playing the Reds, you know, a week ago or two
30:14
Speaker 2: weeks ago, when they were hot. So I think this
30:16
Speaker 2: series is going to be great. The pitching matchups are awesome.
30:19
Speaker 2: You know you're gonna have to face i Managa, who
30:21
Speaker 2: the Brewers have honestly had some success against in the past,
30:24
Speaker 2: including in the playoffs last year. You got Brandon Sprote tonight,
30:28
Speaker 2: then you've got Jacob Mazerowski going of course tomorrow, Ben
30:31
Speaker 2: Brown opposite him, and then on Wednesday, Kyle Harrison on
30:35
Speaker 2: the mound for the Brewers, and then you've got Edward
30:37
Speaker 2: Cabrera on the mound for the Cup. So it's gonna
30:39
Speaker 2: be some great pitching matchups throughout, and you have you
30:41
Speaker 2: have your three guys who you're very much relying on.
30:44
Speaker 2: Obviously Miserowski your opening day starter. Kyle Harrison's been one
30:47
Speaker 2: of the better pitchers in baseball, so far this season,
30:50
Speaker 2: and then Brandon Sprote, who's had some ups and downs.
30:53
Speaker 2: Brandon Sprote, who goes tonight, is giving up three or
30:56
Speaker 2: more runs and three of his last four starts, So
30:58
Speaker 2: this is this is a big moment for him, kind
31:00
Speaker 2: of a moment for I think him to maybe win
31:02
Speaker 2: back some Brewers fans a little bit, say hey, you
31:04
Speaker 2: know this guy goes and shoves against the Cubs. I
31:07
Speaker 2: think there's gonna be a lot of Bruis fans that
31:08
Speaker 2: are like, yeah, we like that guy. That guy is
31:10
Speaker 2: one of my favorites.
31:11
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, Cubs lost their series with the White Sox,
31:14
Speaker 1: so they're kind of limping in a little bit. But
31:15
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of juice in the building tonight.
31:17
Speaker 1: It's going to be a lot of fun now, Hunter.
31:19
Speaker 1: A lot of people were kind of disappointed the brus
31:22
Speaker 1: couldn't close out the sweep. My thing was, well, you
31:25
Speaker 1: can't sweep them, all right, you can't win every day.
31:27
Speaker 1: But the double whammy was they missed a sweep and
31:30
Speaker 1: that would have put them at my first goal of
31:32
Speaker 1: the season, ten over five hundred. That's the first goal
31:35
Speaker 1: that you check, that's the first box you check on
31:37
Speaker 1: your way. We want to win the division. You know,
31:38
Speaker 1: you got to get to ten over five hundred, and
31:40
Speaker 1: if you can do it in the middle stages of May,
31:42
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I mean there's some teams, like obviously
31:44
Speaker 1: there's some teams that did that check that box in April.
31:47
Speaker 1: But getting that cushion, getting the ten over always, I say,
31:51
Speaker 1: is the first goal of any season, and the earlier
31:54
Speaker 1: you can do it, the better. And I don't remember
31:56
Speaker 1: what day they did it last year. I know it
31:57
Speaker 1: was probably June when they went on their but to
32:01
Speaker 1: do it now would be to me fantastic.
32:04
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was gonna actually look that up today
32:06
Speaker 2: because I was curious because the.
32:09
Speaker 5: Last year obviously was different.
32:10
Speaker 2: Right you had you had you were three or four
32:13
Speaker 2: games under five hundred. Yeah, and obviously this yeah, and
32:17
Speaker 2: you feel, uh, you kind of felt up and down.
32:21
Speaker 2: You know, you're watching the Brewers this year and it's
32:22
Speaker 2: like you get out to the eight and two start,
32:24
Speaker 2: you lose six in a row, you got some injuries,
32:25
Speaker 2: like what's this season going to be? And now they're
32:28
Speaker 2: turning it on like like the Brewers we all.
32:30
Speaker 5: Know and love.
32:30
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was that was so close yesterday, and
32:33
Speaker 2: I was kind of thinking that as well, like they're
32:35
Speaker 2: they're you know, they can get this right on May seventeenth.
32:38
Speaker 5: That's going to be really good to get ten games over.
32:40
Speaker 2: Heck, they would have been a half game out yesterday
32:42
Speaker 2: if they would have just rid through in one.
32:43
Speaker 5: Of those chances with those guys.
32:45
Speaker 2: It's but they still have a chance to take over
32:48
Speaker 2: first in the division if they you got.
32:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got to think that might be the right
32:51
Speaker 6: time to hit the Cubs can get the Cubs, I hope,
32:53
Speaker 6: So you know.
32:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, ten over is more important at this
32:55
Speaker 1: point than first place.
32:57
Speaker 4: Sure my uh, if my math is correcting, my acting is.
33:00
Speaker 4: June twenty seventh was the was the first time the
33:03
Speaker 4: Brewers went over five ten games over five hundred a
33:06
Speaker 4: year ago and that was in the middle of they won.
33:08
Speaker 1: Nine at ten. It's crazy when they were well, they
33:11
Speaker 1: kind of winning nine of like thirty and fours. Yeah,
33:14
Speaker 1: they went to say and they won on an absolute here.
33:17
Speaker 1: But and the reason I say this, I don't it's
33:19
Speaker 1: not original to me, but it's uh. I heard Joe
33:22
Speaker 1: Tory say it years ago though, that's job one first
33:24
Speaker 1: goal and stuck with me because if you're ten over
33:27
Speaker 1: and you play five hundred the rest of the way,
33:29
Speaker 1: you're winning ninety games, you're probably making the playoffs as
33:31
Speaker 1: a wildcard at least so these days.
33:33
Speaker 4: That's the funniest thing is that that run wasn't even
33:36
Speaker 4: a part of the thirty and four that was that
33:38
Speaker 4: was the precursor to it before they even got Woodruff back,
33:41
Speaker 4: and then they kind of forgot how to lose. It
33:43
Speaker 4: is crazy how it'll ebb and flow, But for a
33:47
Speaker 4: team that has the consistent young pitching right now, I
33:50
Speaker 4: know everyone's gonna be circling up on Tuesday, Hunter. I
33:54
Speaker 4: can't wait for Kyle Harrison to take the ball again,
33:56
Speaker 4: like I'm his first chance for the North Side and
34:00
Speaker 4: their fans to be able to get a load of
34:01
Speaker 4: Kyle Harrison at a six to forty start on Wednesday.
34:03
Speaker 4: I'm excited for them to see that new toy that
34:05
Speaker 4: the fifty two in the fifty two jersey because the
34:07
Speaker 4: former friend Eric Lower just got released and picked up
34:10
Speaker 4: by the Dodgers. Looks like the Brewers have a real
34:13
Speaker 4: one in the fifty two now. Yes, and no doubt,
34:17
Speaker 4: no doubt.
34:17
Speaker 2: He he has been really fun to watch and I
34:21
Speaker 2: you know, can't believe that that Boston picks up the
34:24
Speaker 2: phone when when the Brewers call anymore.
34:26
Speaker 5: But yeah, but we'll see what happens in the future.
34:28
Speaker 1: I can't imagine.
34:29
Speaker 5: I just I looked at Durbin on Friday.
34:31
Speaker 2: He's hitting one seventy two struggles, played almost every game.
34:34
Speaker 1: He's really just you know, I it is he is.
34:37
Speaker 2: So but yeah, I'm really excited. I mean what the
34:39
Speaker 2: Brewers have done, and I think it's really smart. They've
34:42
Speaker 2: of course, they've you know, ran out their guys and
34:44
Speaker 2: they've had these guys make consistent starts when you talk
34:46
Speaker 2: about Harrison, Sprout, et cetera. But this time they said,
34:48
Speaker 2: all right, let's get these guys one extra day of rest,
34:51
Speaker 2: especially head to get into the Cup Series. So that's
34:53
Speaker 2: what they did. That's why you saw Gasser yesterday. That's
34:55
Speaker 2: why you saw Coleman crow on Friday. What they did
34:57
Speaker 2: is they pushed everybody back. Sproke could have a normal
34:59
Speaker 2: rest thrown yesterday, Miserowski could have thrown today, Harrison could
35:03
Speaker 2: have thrown yesterday. But they backed them all up one day.
35:06
Speaker 2: And then you have your three guys who have been
35:08
Speaker 2: in the rotation all season long sprote Mizerowski and Harrison
35:11
Speaker 2: lined up for this Cup series, and they're all with
35:13
Speaker 2: an extra day of rest, especially young guys who have not,
35:17
Speaker 2: you know, gone a major league season fully, you know,
35:20
Speaker 2: making start after start after start. So I'm I'm interested
35:23
Speaker 2: to see if that helps them. And not that I
35:25
Speaker 2: don't even know how Miserowski could pitch any better, but
35:28
Speaker 2: maybe maybe it does, especially even after the cramping. So
35:30
Speaker 2: that's gonna come up tomorrow. But yeah, I mean, it's
35:33
Speaker 2: it's exceptional. I love also they do that they back
35:36
Speaker 2: everybody up, but they're also using everybody, right They they
35:39
Speaker 2: know they have the depth at Triple A when it
35:42
Speaker 2: comes to the starting pitchers when it be you know,
35:44
Speaker 2: it's been Logan Henderson, Coleman Crow, Robert Gasser, and they're like,
35:48
Speaker 2: you know what, we have all these guys, let's use
35:50
Speaker 2: them to our advantage. And they're they against the Twins.
35:52
Speaker 2: They throw Crow, Henderson and Gasser out there, and they
35:55
Speaker 2: win a series and the one they lose is by one,
35:57
Speaker 2: and so that it just continues to throw the depth
36:00
Speaker 2: of this organization on the pitching side.
36:02
Speaker 5: It's just it's amazing right now, all.
36:04
Speaker 1: Right, great stuff on the Brewers and Baseball. Hunter fifteen
36:08
Speaker 1: seconds left on the way out. Your hero Aaron Rodgers
36:11
Speaker 1: back for another season. You don't have to say goodbye yet.
36:13
Speaker 1: You get to watch him one more year.
36:15
Speaker 5: Keep it going, keep it going. This is what I
36:17
Speaker 5: was hoping for.
36:17
Speaker 2: It'll be even more intriguing with Mike McCarthy at the Helm.
36:21
Speaker 2: And maybe you guys have talked about this, but I
36:23
Speaker 2: got to think that with the NFL putting him on
36:25
Speaker 2: prime time so much, they're like.
36:27
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, I yeah, yeah, they might add one more.
36:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
36:30
Speaker 4: One war is by the way in the building today
36:32
Speaker 4: with the with the wired headphones too.
36:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that?
36:35
Speaker 6: Right?
36:35
Speaker 1: A rock and roll to rock and roll. Thanks Hunter,
36:38
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
36:39
Speaker 5: Thank you guys.
36:40
Speaker 1: Baseball pre game show tonight, UH tune in with Hunter Bomber.

36:52

37:56
Speaker 4: I have twenty milligram drift Selter is my absolute favorite.
37:59
Speaker 4: That's the best real caddie you possibly can Absolutely so.
38:02
Speaker 4: I told you guys about that that choch clavicular, the
38:06
Speaker 4: looksmaxing guy. Yes, yesers, he's all over the tiktoks and
38:11
Speaker 4: he's hopefully his fifteen minutes are running out.
38:13
Speaker 1: But this whole looks things. But guys that you know,
38:17
Speaker 1: trying to make themselves look better and like hitting your
38:19
Speaker 1: face with a hammer to help your jawbone your jaw line.
38:22
Speaker 1: Well there's a new one. And I thought this was
38:24
Speaker 1: a work, but apparently it's not. It comes out of Russia.
38:27
Speaker 1: Oh goodness. Of course there are men in Russia who
38:31
Speaker 1: are having a procedure to disfigure their ears to make
38:35
Speaker 1: them look like they have cauliflower ears, like they earn
38:37
Speaker 1: them wrestling or doing Mma. Okay, cool, because they always say,
38:40
Speaker 1: if you're squaring up against somebody at the bar and
38:42
Speaker 1: he's got messed up ears, just buy him a drink
38:44
Speaker 1: and walk away. Jesus take us all. I mean, I think,
38:49
Speaker 1: But according to uh Russian telegram channel Baza, a growing
38:53
Speaker 1: number of Russian men are paying to have their ears
38:55
Speaker 1: deliberately deformed so they look like Mma fighters. They compress
38:59
Speaker 1: the ear to replicate the same trauma that produces the
39:02
Speaker 1: the hematoma that is uh commonly too. And this guy,
39:09
Speaker 1: the one guy's running a month long wait list and
39:12
Speaker 1: he's charging six thousand rubles, which is about eighty dollars
39:16
Speaker 1: per year. Not much. Yeah, god, you know every time
39:19
Speaker 1: you might need multiple sessions to disfigure and g can.
39:23
Speaker 6: I if you ever think about my you know, future warriors.
39:25
Speaker 6: Sometimes in this rat rays called life, I like to
39:28
Speaker 6: take salace knowing there are people that dumb out there
39:30
Speaker 6: that'll do stuff like this.
39:31
Speaker 4: Then maybe I could get a slagage over it. And
39:33
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest, I thought just for men was
39:36
Speaker 4: gonna be when we really where we tapped off on
39:38
Speaker 4: like people rolly to not have to dye their hair.
39:43
Speaker 4: We want to actually look older. Let me get some
39:45
Speaker 4: touch of gray. I just want, I just want to
39:46
Speaker 4: spice things up. But give me a distinguished look. They
39:50
Speaker 4: just said, hey, man, give me the kuld bebe, come
39:52
Speaker 4: on in here and make me look like a high
39:54
Speaker 4: school wrestler.
39:54
Speaker 1: That's an interesting tactic.
39:56
Speaker 6: You know, you just get a haircut to get ready
39:58
Speaker 6: to go off for the night or for the week again,
40:00
Speaker 6: you know, kind of up maybe a news shirt. Quick, No,
40:03
Speaker 6: smack me with a hammer and smack my ear up
40:06
Speaker 6: a little bit. Then the chicks a lot. Well what's
40:08
Speaker 6: going on out here?
40:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like that's stolen valor. Yeah, that's the thing.
40:12
Speaker 1: You didn't earn it.
40:13
Speaker 4: I mean the tough thing is you're still gonna get tested.
40:16
Speaker 4: I mean like at some point, if everyone's walking around cauliflower,
40:19
Speaker 4: you're in Moscow, I still think somebody's gonna say, hey, man,
40:21
Speaker 4: step outside.
40:23
Speaker 1: That is hilarious. So anyway, that's our awaken bike story,
40:25
Speaker 1: Happy play Samptock. I'm used to go huddle and free shipping.
40:30
Speaker 1: Just when you thought we couldn't get any dumber, Well
40:33
Speaker 1: and Drew, that's the thing.
