0:00
Speaker 1: Rolling through a Thursday in the good Land. It's the Huddle.
0:02
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billion Armand bringing it to
0:04
Speaker 2: you nine twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison, iHeartRadio, app, streaming live,
0:08
Speaker 2: Facebook x and YouTube for you to check us out.
0:13
Speaker 2: Trying to solve the problems of the day, like what
0:15
Speaker 2: should Armand's daughter wear? Well, how do you raise the
0:18
Speaker 2: child in a family where mom's a Cubs fan and
0:21
Speaker 2: dad is a Brewers fan.
0:23
Speaker 1: It's not hard for me.
0:24
Speaker 3: I just relentlessly infiltrate her with Brewers propaganda. And I
0:28
Speaker 3: think I'm better at that than Lara is with her
0:30
Speaker 3: side a bit. So that's how I do it, Dan.
0:33
Speaker 2: Relentless Brewers propaganda.
0:36
Speaker 4: I like the barrister said, Okay, little Lenaware is a
0:38
Speaker 4: Brewers ones. He at a Milwaukee event and Cub stuff
0:42
Speaker 4: when you guys go down to Wrigley Field, right.
0:44
Speaker 3: The problem is I agree with that. I'm fine with that.
0:47
Speaker 3: I love that arrangement. I think it's fair.
0:51
Speaker 1: I think it's fair.
0:52
Speaker 3: I know the knock back I'll get is, well, we
0:53
Speaker 3: never go to Wrigley Field.
0:55
Speaker 4: We'll pick a day and we'll go. That's right, pick
0:57
Speaker 4: a day and we'll go. That's right, I mean we can't.
1:00
Speaker 4: That's where you just flipped the onus immediately back on
1:03
Speaker 4: your wife to say, well if you would want to, well,
1:05
Speaker 4: absolutely would like to go to the Friendly.
1:07
Speaker 2: Then arm And sees the prices down there to park
1:09
Speaker 2: and it's like, well, well.
1:11
Speaker 3: Not parking, We'll take the train or something like that,
1:13
Speaker 3: or walk or somebody.
1:15
Speaker 1: I don't know what. We'll figure something. One walked seven
1:17
Speaker 1: miles one year old. I went there.
1:19
Speaker 3: We went there for Zach Brown concert like three summers ago,
1:24
Speaker 3: and I remember it took a while, but I did
1:27
Speaker 3: find street parking, which I was proud of.
1:29
Speaker 2: I don't hate the concert experience at Wrigley Field.
1:31
Speaker 1: Oh it was cool. I'm not gonna lie. It was
1:33
Speaker 1: aw cool.
1:33
Speaker 2: I've been to a couple of shows. They're pretty cool.
1:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty cool.
1:37
Speaker 4: So have you been to one of the postgame concerts
1:39
Speaker 4: at American Family Field or friend Dustin was asking which
1:42
Speaker 4: promo day should he go to? The postgame fireworks, the
1:44
Speaker 4: alumni day, dollar hot Dog Day, or the postgame col
1:47
Speaker 4: Swindell concert.
1:48
Speaker 2: Oh Man, postgame concerts are fun. A long day at
1:53
Speaker 2: the yard, but you're doubling up. I do like the
1:55
Speaker 2: postgame Admirals concerts. I'm a big fan of the postgame
1:58
Speaker 2: Admirals concerts. The the Alumni game, I hope, is a
2:02
Speaker 2: little better than the Alumni home run Derby. It's going to.
2:05
Speaker 1: Be, it's gonna be. There will be more action.
2:07
Speaker 2: Could we maybe move the fences in more screw That's why.
2:10
Speaker 4: I thought for the home run derby, if we would
2:12
Speaker 4: have moved them things in like fifty feet, we would
2:15
Speaker 4: have been hitting some.
2:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, would have been.
2:18
Speaker 2: A little bit more except for Casey McGee shut out.
2:22
Speaker 2: And I love Casey because he's one of my favorite
2:24
Speaker 2: guys to cover.
2:25
Speaker 4: And hang around, almost as bad as Adam done for
2:27
Speaker 4: the Bananas. A couple of days ago in Cincinnati, three
2:30
Speaker 4: three strikes, Good morning, good afternoon.
2:32
Speaker 1: He was tough.
2:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Jackie Bradley. I have hitten three eighty
2:40
Speaker 4: six for the Clowns. All right, let's chill out over
2:42
Speaker 4: there on the Jackie Bradley.
2:44
Speaker 1: We finally found some grass in the league. That's right
2:46
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, that's good.
2:47
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit agnostic when it comes to the
2:51
Speaker 2: Old Timers game because I used to think it was great,
2:52
Speaker 2: and I thought the Bruce should have one. And then
2:54
Speaker 2: I talked to Robin you and he's like, I don't
2:55
Speaker 2: want to play in that. No, why don't we I
2:57
Speaker 2: don't want some guy to tell his kid how great
2:59
Speaker 2: I am and then see him. Didn't you see me,
3:01
Speaker 2: you know, spinning around trying to catch a pop up
3:03
Speaker 2: or trying to striking out, Like, I don't want to
3:05
Speaker 2: see that.
3:05
Speaker 3: That is a worry for a lot of guys, like
3:07
Speaker 3: the really competitive like the Michael Jordans of the world,
3:10
Speaker 3: would never want to be caught that looking less than
3:13
Speaker 3: their prime, like if the video comes out of one
3:15
Speaker 3: of their camps. And I can see why Robin thinks that,
3:18
Speaker 3: But it is fun for the fans to have the
3:19
Speaker 3: guys back in and enjoying each other if not if
3:23
Speaker 3: not playing, I mean, maybe it isn't as as serious
3:25
Speaker 3: as you have to play a full game.
3:27
Speaker 1: But what would you ratter have celebrity softball game, Billy?
3:30
Speaker 1: Is that kind of think?
3:31
Speaker 4: That's I think like celebrity poker tournament or something like
3:35
Speaker 4: find a way to get everybody in and hang out
3:38
Speaker 4: and get like some off off the the stage interviews
3:43
Speaker 4: and some access there. I don't need to see everybody
3:45
Speaker 4: hanging out in the in the pants, rolling outside, potentially meeting.
3:50
Speaker 4: Go call our friends doctor Bong and company company at
3:53
Speaker 4: the Orthpetic Associates of Wisconda.
3:54
Speaker 3: I understand we don't want it to be like a
3:56
Speaker 3: full orthopedic kind of kind of like fantasy camp an
4:00
Speaker 3: injury situation, full Drew Olsen.
4:03
Speaker 1: But I don't think a lot of people are gonna
4:04
Speaker 1: be like.
4:06
Speaker 2: Holy Richard Jefferson, I blew out a Hammy. It's no
4:10
Speaker 2: shame in that game. Everybody does. It's a bad camith.
4:15
Speaker 3: I heard the relationship. It's not bad though, So they
4:16
Speaker 3: can make those type of jokes, but I wouldn't do it. Maybe,
4:19
Speaker 3: but I don't think a lot of people are gonna
4:21
Speaker 3: be paying money to watch like Brian Show's fuld Hands,
4:24
Speaker 3: like in a poker game. But that being said, they
4:27
Speaker 3: can do something else maybe besides. But see, I still
4:31
Speaker 3: think it was fun last year. Maybe it's risks embarrassment
4:35
Speaker 3: for the players, but for the fans it's enjoying.
4:36
Speaker 2: It was enjoyable. So that there is anybody who bet
4:40
Speaker 2: big on Keon Brox and walked away happy and cash
4:43
Speaker 2: a ticket.
4:43
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean, but I I see Robinyout's pain
4:47
Speaker 4: because I was hyping up Princefielder to no end, Like
4:52
Speaker 4: you guys don't understand how hard Okay, he was about
4:55
Speaker 4: to watch out for that potootomy sign up near the
4:58
Speaker 4: Johnsonville Territory. I think he hit three, and I kind
5:01
Speaker 4: of felt bad because I didn't want my Amanda to
5:03
Speaker 4: potentially hurt himself again. So there's times where you want
5:06
Speaker 4: to enjoy, but let's get a good tip of the cap.
5:08
Speaker 4: Maybe everyone throws out the first pitch. I hope it's good.
5:11
Speaker 4: I hope it's fun. But that is a long day
5:13
Speaker 4: at the park. Like you just mentioned with the with
5:16
Speaker 4: with the concert, that's a long day at the park.
5:18
Speaker 4: You're probably not gonna go wrong with dollar hot dog DN.
5:22
Speaker 1: No, that is going to be a pay long lines,
5:25
Speaker 1: long lines.
5:27
Speaker 2: Because people love cheap hot dogs.
5:28
Speaker 4: But you're gonna get a couple of absolute beautiful sausages pause,
5:32
Speaker 4: and then be able to wash it down with some
5:33
Speaker 4: cold beers throughout the day on a really really hot
5:37
Speaker 4: July day from what it appears like coming up next
5:39
Speaker 4: to ours, stay. Oh and if that's not good living,
5:40
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, but I'll say this,
5:42
Speaker 4: the Brewers do a good job.
5:44
Speaker 3: I went to the the nineties Night Show. It was
5:47
Speaker 3: just like Vanilla Eyes and cellar guys. The Brewis dore
5:49
Speaker 3: a good job keeping the crowd entertained while they're setting up.
5:51
Speaker 1: They really do.
5:52
Speaker 3: They do some funny stuff with the with the scoreboard,
5:55
Speaker 3: with the camera, with the crowd. So I gotta say
5:57
Speaker 3: they do a good job keeping you entertained during the setup.
6:00
Speaker 1: And you know that is part of it.
6:02
Speaker 3: But you know, anyone that's been to a concert, and
6:04
Speaker 3: I know it's like a postgame concert, it was a
6:06
Speaker 3: little different.
6:07
Speaker 1: Waiting around for a while is part of the experience.
6:09
Speaker 3: Like if there's an opener you don't like, or they're
6:11
Speaker 3: setting up or whatever it is, the band doesn't come
6:14
Speaker 3: out in time. There is part of that. So I
6:17
Speaker 3: understand it in some ways. But it'll still be.
6:19
Speaker 1: A fun night. I think, no question.
6:22
Speaker 2: I think you're uh, you're onto something there.
6:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
6:26
Speaker 3: I got a couple of comments here Paul and Kenosha
6:28
Speaker 3: on the YouTube, largely where whatever you and your child,
6:32
Speaker 3: she and your child wants.
6:33
Speaker 1: To wear, Happy Wife, Happy Life. Oh, Paul, you're onto
6:36
Speaker 1: something there.
6:36
Speaker 4: I mean if Rmon doesn't want to get uh, he
6:39
Speaker 4: wants to just make everything in the house, very easy
6:41
Speaker 4: and calm.
6:42
Speaker 1: That's just what you do.
6:44
Speaker 2: Well.
6:44
Speaker 3: Our buddy's right, I mean our buddy, you know, Brian Butcher,
6:46
Speaker 3: when I first got married, gave me a long, long lecture.
6:49
Speaker 3: He sat me down about the battlefields, about how now
6:52
Speaker 3: now you're you know, you're married, and life is gonna
6:55
Speaker 3: be about battles, and you're gonna pick your battles and
6:57
Speaker 3: you're gonna choose which ones you want to fight and
6:59
Speaker 3: which ones you want to lose. So maybe this is
7:01
Speaker 3: one of those situations he was talking about. I'll have
7:03
Speaker 3: the text Butchy and ask him if that is what
7:05
Speaker 3: he's talking about. I think this is probably.
7:07
Speaker 1: One, right, I think. I think, I think.
7:10
Speaker 4: This is probably one that you do because I know
7:13
Speaker 4: this one's gonna hurt you.
7:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might.
7:16
Speaker 4: I don't think this one, this one would potentially sit
7:18
Speaker 4: with poorly in your belly, knowing that you are sitting
7:22
Speaker 4: next to your beautiful young daughter wearing a cup shirt
7:25
Speaker 4: at a Brewer's cubs. Event Now, I haven't done it
7:27
Speaker 4: in a Brewers setting, but but at one particular point
7:31
Speaker 4: in my my flawed life earlier on, I was dating
7:34
Speaker 4: a young lady who was a Chicago Bears.
7:36
Speaker 1: Fan, oh oh boy.
7:37
Speaker 4: And we we frequented a Packers Bears game together and
7:41
Speaker 4: she had the Bears jersey on.
7:43
Speaker 1: It was a tough to stomach. What jersey was it?
7:46
Speaker 1: Back then?
7:47
Speaker 4: I ca it was a Brian Lacker of fifty four
7:50
Speaker 4: and and it happened to be a game in which
7:52
Speaker 4: the blind squirrel finds a nut every single once in
7:55
Speaker 4: a while.
7:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:55
Speaker 4: Uh, And and the Bears would ended up being victorious
7:58
Speaker 4: at lambeau Field Thanksgiving night.
8:00
Speaker 1: So you got to hear about it, Yeah.
8:01
Speaker 4: Mostly because I just after because I kind of walked
8:05
Speaker 4: like fifteen feet of ahead on the way out. I
8:07
Speaker 4: was like, I'm just trying to not be associated here
8:10
Speaker 4: as much as possible, even though we're gonna get into
8:11
Speaker 4: the same car here.
8:12
Speaker 1: All right, No, that's a good strategy. Just try to
8:15
Speaker 1: dip out as quickly as possible. You can't do that. Yeah.
8:17
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is, though, you got to remember, I mean,
8:19
Speaker 3: we probably aren't staying all nine because we do have
8:23
Speaker 3: the bedtime situation.
8:24
Speaker 1: So maybe that'll be part of it.
8:26
Speaker 2: That the discussion.
8:27
Speaker 1: Uh.
8:28
Speaker 3: Dobbler one of our one of our one of our best,
8:32
Speaker 3: always absolutely in and on the YouTube comments do you
8:35
Speaker 3: guys want happy? There's two sides of Dobbler, positive and
8:38
Speaker 3: happy or pessimistic upset. Give us the pressimistic one first,
8:42
Speaker 3: you know the pessimistic one first. Okay, here's Dobbler. Is
8:45
Speaker 3: the American public ready for the letdown when the over
8:48
Speaker 3: hyped US men's national team eventually gets smacked around by
8:51
Speaker 3: the big European teams that come after the neck the
8:54
Speaker 3: group play ends tonight.
8:56
Speaker 1: Well, we know how you feel that, Dobbler. Just just
8:58
Speaker 1: tell us watch.
8:59
Speaker 2: OUTOS two and fiftieth birthday of our fine nation, and
9:02
Speaker 2: you gotta, you know, cheer against America.
9:06
Speaker 3: Just tell us you're not going to be cheering for
9:07
Speaker 3: the You know, you're in the United States of America
9:10
Speaker 3: kind of countryman, are you?
9:11
Speaker 4: No?
9:11
Speaker 1: I get it. Dobbler's a big fan of Germany.
9:14
Speaker 3: Dobbler is a big, big Germany fan, But he is
9:16
Speaker 3: lobbing some accusations there that they.
9:18
Speaker 1: Had a hack of a comeback win against Ivory Coast.
9:21
Speaker 1: I had a sweet game. Yeah, they escaped against Ivory Coast.
9:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I don't think they should be in much
9:25
Speaker 3: trouble against them, but they did fight themselves in trouble.
9:28
Speaker 3: Me did escape but maybe they're over hyped. Maybe it's
9:31
Speaker 3: not the US men's national team, Dobbler. Maybe we're gonna
9:34
Speaker 3: you know, maybe the Stars and Stripes will prevail. Maybe
9:36
Speaker 3: they'll take on one of those big European teams and win.
9:39
Speaker 3: You gotta dare to dream a little bit.
9:41
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing.
9:42
Speaker 4: This is the first time that that soccer has been
9:44
Speaker 4: in the World Cup, has ever in my lifetime that
9:47
Speaker 4: they've had some kind of actual win in the sales,
9:50
Speaker 4: like so Land and Donovan win. That was very much
9:53
Speaker 4: the feeling of Okay, now they're into the lockout of
9:55
Speaker 4: the knockout stage. Good luck with this one, right, Like,
9:59
Speaker 4: there's a great feeling of that. I think that was
10:01
Speaker 4: the South Africa World Cup. But it being in the States,
10:05
Speaker 4: you don't necessarily know. This is also a little bit better.
10:09
Speaker 4: People could correct me if I'm wrong here. You actually
10:12
Speaker 4: have a number, if not all, of these players playing
10:16
Speaker 4: on big European teams. Yeah, like their club teams are
10:19
Speaker 4: not necessarily the Columbus Crew and the Seattle Sounders anymore. Nope,
10:23
Speaker 4: Which is a shows there's a little bit different level
10:26
Speaker 4: up as to who is is on the on the
10:29
Speaker 4: pitch for the USA but you know what, that's what
10:34
Speaker 4: England also thought that they were gonna roll up here
10:36
Speaker 4: and have an easy dub two hundred and fifty years ago,
10:38
Speaker 4: and then they got that ass whooked and sent back
10:40
Speaker 4: with their tea into the hobby. So I would just
10:43
Speaker 4: like to know and watch out and don't doubt the
10:45
Speaker 4: minute men as we roll into the into the knockout stage.
10:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.
10:49
Speaker 3: And then just to be fair, I'll get I'll get
10:52
Speaker 3: the other shoulder of Dobbler a positive apia. How about
10:55
Speaker 3: my boy Cooper Pratt and ize to see him up
10:57
Speaker 3: and not struggling. Hopefully you can connor adjuste with other
10:59
Speaker 3: pitching statisfic out of a game plan for him gold Brewers.
11:01
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd agree with that.
11:02
Speaker 3: I you know, you first come up, the bat is
11:05
Speaker 3: gonna be up and down probably as you adjust in
11:08
Speaker 3: the league adjusts.
11:09
Speaker 1: He's held his own pretty good.
11:10
Speaker 3: His numbers aren't bad at all, and and he's done
11:12
Speaker 3: his job at shortstop. So I think Cooper is on
11:14
Speaker 3: a pretty good you know, he's slowly wading into the
11:18
Speaker 3: water and a good.
11:18
Speaker 2: And good was he worthy of Who's hot? Who's Not?
11:20
Speaker 4: Presented by Donovan Jorgensen not two sixty might put you
11:24
Speaker 4: in there, but uh, he's just like neither. He's like
11:27
Speaker 4: yeah between without a base established, without a base hitting
11:30
Speaker 4: the series, hard hard to put him in the hot category. However,
11:34
Speaker 4: nice little play yesterday did calm himself down, was able
11:37
Speaker 4: to get the ball out of the glove. But Drew,
11:39
Speaker 4: the Who's Hot category might just be named today the
11:43
Speaker 4: William Contreras category. Meanwhile, Bill On an absolute heater again.
11:47
Speaker 4: He just has enough to be able to get that
11:50
Speaker 4: thing off of the yellow pad in out yesterday in
11:53
Speaker 4: the first of the back to back blast that him
11:54
Speaker 4: and Bower's hitting the six five win, three hits yesterday
11:58
Speaker 4: off of a one hit of fair in Game number two,
12:01
Speaker 4: wrapped up that brave series with a four hit game
12:04
Speaker 4: as well. Annotator that in the splits department you go
12:08
Speaker 4: to the last seven days, William mctrais in the last
12:11
Speaker 4: week is hitting a robust four to thirty five with
12:14
Speaker 4: ten He's ten for his last twenty three with two
12:18
Speaker 4: bombs in there as well. Drew, I don't know if
12:20
Speaker 4: the power stroke is the most important thing for Contraras.
12:23
Speaker 4: I always think the doubles is like his y, his
12:27
Speaker 4: his jam. He gets up on second base, gets the
12:29
Speaker 4: crowd hype, gets the dugout rolling. But his bat has
12:34
Speaker 4: been one of the most consistent after the first what
12:37
Speaker 4: three or four weeks, once he started to really get rolling.
12:39
Speaker 1: It's hitting over three hundred.
12:41
Speaker 4: And don't realize it, that's top ten in the league
12:44
Speaker 4: in batting average this year. Yeah, for a catcher, that's impressive.
12:48
Speaker 4: Impressive numbers that he's able to put up. Let's also
12:51
Speaker 4: go into the hot category. Sadly, I don't like saying
12:53
Speaker 4: this one, but Dansby Swanson.
12:55
Speaker 2: Oh boy, you gotta say he's hot or he was
12:57
Speaker 2: against the Mets yesterday.
12:58
Speaker 4: It was hot against the Mets, especially in game one
13:00
Speaker 4: of their two, as he went yard twice, one of
13:04
Speaker 4: which was a grand Salami ten to three win in
13:08
Speaker 4: Game one for the Cubs, ten to five win in
13:11
Speaker 4: game number two, and Swanson was just as good in
13:14
Speaker 4: Game number two.
13:15
Speaker 1: Didn't leave the yard, but was three for five and
13:17
Speaker 1: drove in four more.
13:18
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good month. When you have a double
13:20
Speaker 2: header with eleven RBI.
13:21
Speaker 1: That'll work.
13:22
Speaker 4: That'll pretty good. That'll that'll play for him and and
13:25
Speaker 4: the Cubs. Whenever you get to play the Mets. Odds
13:29
Speaker 4: are you're gonna roll into something being hot. But they
13:31
Speaker 4: have now won five of their last six games.
13:33
Speaker 2: Who's not hot?
13:34
Speaker 4: Trek scuobel terrk'schoo. Well, something looked like it was hot, Drew.
13:39
Speaker 4: I don't We don't know what happened. It looked like
13:41
Speaker 4: there was some burning going on there. There were some
13:43
Speaker 4: some questions as what was happening. But it wasn't muscular. Okay,
13:48
Speaker 4: surface level might have been some red and irritation.
13:52
Speaker 2: Might have been. But he gave up two homers. The
13:54
Speaker 2: Goldschmid gave up. Didn't pitch well, he gave up homers,
13:58
Speaker 2: lost to the to the Yankees.
14:00
Speaker 1: There's no shame in that game.
14:01
Speaker 4: Shame and having to grab and scratch throughout the entire
14:04
Speaker 4: throughout the entire start for him.
14:06
Speaker 1: That was a tough one. Also a gold Bond sponsorship.
14:10
Speaker 1: There was a goal Bond season.
14:12
Speaker 2: There was a time when Greg Maddox was having issues
14:15
Speaker 2: on the mound like that in that area and Mark
14:19
Speaker 2: Grace walked over because he saw him kind of limping
14:21
Speaker 2: around and realized that Maddox was in a in front
14:26
Speaker 2: of a stadium full of people on the mound was
14:28
Speaker 2: in a state of semi or arousal.
14:31
Speaker 1: Oh, so he's trying to.
14:32
Speaker 2: Move and Grace Walker thought he was hurt and walked
14:34
Speaker 2: in to give him a second. He just went to
14:36
Speaker 2: check out him, and he's like, dude, you like pitching
14:38
Speaker 2: way too much.
14:43
Speaker 1: If I had that kind of He's the one. He's
14:47
Speaker 1: the one guy you think it might did you guys
14:52
Speaker 1: see that curve ball mark Grace the great happens to
14:58
Speaker 1: uh Shane's rowan. You know.
15:04
Speaker 2: I've been screwing up those two names too. Shane Drown
15:07
Speaker 2: and Brandon Sproude are too similar, like the something.
15:11
Speaker 4: Why one needs to get out of the rotation and
15:13
Speaker 4: that's why they need to go back to the five rotations.
15:16
Speaker 1: They seem like sim.
15:17
Speaker 3: Players on legend on career mode. They just plugged them. Man,
15:21
Speaker 3: I blew the joke brand.
15:23
Speaker 2: I was proud of you though you tried for it.
15:25
Speaker 2: You swung hard, you tried. By the way, the Cubs
15:28
Speaker 2: made a deal with New York getting David Peterson. The
15:32
Speaker 2: lefty needed some kind of arm that off a couple
15:36
Speaker 2: of days. There's a pretty good chance that David Peterson
15:38
Speaker 2: will make his Cub's debut this weekend in Milwaukee because
15:41
Speaker 2: he last pitched on Sunday against the Phillies.
15:43
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he'll find a way into that rotation because
15:45
Speaker 4: Cabrera what carted off on Monday, or to say that
15:48
Speaker 4: was so both teams going to get an off day
15:50
Speaker 4: coming into this series. Both Cubs are seven games back,
15:53
Speaker 4: and if you haven't noticed, the Cardinals have been continuing
15:56
Speaker 4: to kind of slide themselves.
15:58
Speaker 1: Back a little bit.
15:58
Speaker 4: They've been in the not category four and six in
16:00
Speaker 4: their last ten, but they are also seven games behind
16:03
Speaker 4: the Crew, Pirates ten and the Reds twelve and a
16:06
Speaker 4: half out after getting swept in Cincinnati.
16:08
Speaker 1: The final not in the Who's Hot, Who's not?
16:13
Speaker 4: Lions defensive back Terry On Arnold very much now he
16:17
Speaker 4: is in some hot water as he is facing four
16:21
Speaker 4: counts of kidnapping or four kidnapping charges, as well as
16:25
Speaker 4: four counts of armed robbery in the state of Florida.
16:28
Speaker 4: Arrested Wednesday in connection to a February fourth incident that
16:33
Speaker 4: happened shortly after midnight in which three individuals were pistol
16:39
Speaker 4: whipped and held at gunpoint and robbed. According to police,
16:42
Speaker 4: Police say that Arnold is the primary conspirator and accused
16:47
Speaker 4: of coordinating and directing the co defendants to lure the
16:50
Speaker 4: three men into an apartment where the assault allegedly occurred.
16:54
Speaker 4: So he is going to be potentially held throughout until
16:58
Speaker 4: the trial date. From the and more that I've read
17:01
Speaker 4: through it, the state Attorney office would file a pre
17:03
Speaker 4: trial motion to keep him in jail until that date.
17:06
Speaker 1: Date for the hearing has not been set.
17:08
Speaker 4: Long piece, long story to it, long story short, first
17:14
Speaker 4: round pick from twenty twenty four and starting cornerback from
17:16
Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions. As our friend Barrister said, that's police
17:19
Speaker 4: blotter season number one here in the NFL. This is
17:21
Speaker 4: when you just hope that no news comes up by
17:24
Speaker 4: your favorite team, But when it comes up by one
17:26
Speaker 4: of the teams in the division, that is some that's
17:27
Speaker 4: some big news because they're counting big time on Terry
17:30
Speaker 4: and Arnold to come back from that shoulder injury, and
17:32
Speaker 4: their defense was not the same when he wasn't on
17:35
Speaker 4: the field. So that is some not hot for Terry
17:37
Speaker 4: on Arnold in the Detroit Lions. But if you get
17:39
Speaker 4: too hot coming up this week next week going to
17:42
Speaker 4: be very very hot. Donovan Jorgenson heating and cooling cool
17:45
Speaker 4: that place down is the hot and human temperatures. Roll
17:48
Speaker 4: into your house, Donovan Jorgenson can roll up with those
17:50
Speaker 4: sweet blue vans, be able to.
17:53
Speaker 1: Check out your agevac system.
17:54
Speaker 4: And they do heating and cooling, so don't also ask
17:57
Speaker 4: them to check out your dishwasher.
17:59
Speaker 1: They do eating and cooling.
18:01
Speaker 4: Unlike other companies that say that they can be a
18:03
Speaker 4: master of all trades, now they're not. They're a jack
18:06
Speaker 4: of all trades. This is a master of one heating
18:07
Speaker 4: and cooling, Donovan Jorgans. So make sure you call them.

Speaker 5: I need a new Summerfest T shirt. It's been a
18:45
Speaker 5: couple of years since I got one. I don't know
18:46

18:54
Speaker 5: and I've got a bunch of T shirts I got
18:55
Speaker 5: to I'll say this. The one they gave away an
18:57
Speaker 5: opening day is pretty sweet. It's got like script. I'm
19:00
Speaker 5: from Milwaukee. Yeah, cool look. Yeah, thanks to am Fam
19:03
Speaker 5: for that. It's a nice looking hack kind of throwback.
19:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. Will you be patrolling the grounds this evening?
19:08
Speaker 5: Absolutely, actually this afternoon because as we all know, it's
19:11
Speaker 5: it's half priced.
19:12
Speaker 4: It's throwback Thursday, which means half price. Yeahs until six o'clock,
19:16
Speaker 4: just in time for a vertical horizon.
19:19
Speaker 1: Let's go.
19:20
Speaker 2: Pat McCurdy playing tonight, as are the Old ninety seven
19:23
Speaker 2: is one of my favorite.
19:24
Speaker 5: Yeah. Ed Shearing's on the big stage. And then we've
19:27
Speaker 5: got Tucker Wetmore Country tonight. He's had three straight number
19:29
Speaker 5: one songs.
19:30
Speaker 1: He's on fire.
19:31
Speaker 2: That's going to be a huge crowd, a lot of fun.
19:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, there's but there was we always talk
19:37
Speaker 5: about you. There's there's bands you see out there that
19:39
Speaker 5: you have no idea. Who yeah, and those are some
19:41
Speaker 5: of the most pleasant surprises. You absolutely just go with
19:44
Speaker 5: an open mind, walk around and enjoy.
19:46
Speaker 1: Yep.
19:46
Speaker 2: All right, so dolf uh you could do a double
19:48
Speaker 2: heady go to summerfest, go home and relax. And then
19:51
Speaker 2: the US plays Turkey in a meaningless game of the
19:53
Speaker 2: World Cup at nine PM. Think out said nine tonight
19:57
Speaker 2: in correct Turkey.
19:59
Speaker 1: Yay, right, that's what that's what they want they called
20:03
Speaker 1: I don't go for that.
20:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, the A stands for something else because they have
20:06
Speaker 4: bettet during this world.
20:07
Speaker 2: Well yeah they've been They're an offensive team that has
20:10
Speaker 2: a sixty four shots and no goals.
20:12
Speaker 1: And no goals. Yeah, somebody that's bet on them twice.
20:14
Speaker 2: But this is a sports psychology question because the US
20:18
Speaker 2: is through. They have nothing to gain by a win,
20:20
Speaker 2: but they're playing at home and they want to keep
20:21
Speaker 2: the momentum rolling and you would think like, oh, they
20:24
Speaker 2: might come out flat.
20:25
Speaker 1: I think it's like they're going to come out loose.
20:27
Speaker 2: I see the US winning this one two three nothing.
20:31
Speaker 3: Because Turkey's got a one two three thing going because
20:34
Speaker 3: they're eliminated.
20:36
Speaker 2: So it's like there's this is basically a friendly, but
20:39
Speaker 2: the psychology of it us is like they're refeeling themselves
20:42
Speaker 2: a little bit. They don't want to lose them mo. Yeah,
20:44
Speaker 2: what did I read?
20:44
Speaker 5: You just have to be careful with the yellow car guys, right, yeah,
20:47
Speaker 5: they might not even play.
20:48
Speaker 3: Probably they're probably gonna sit to reduce the risk there
20:52
Speaker 3: in that sense.
20:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's three or four of them, I think, right, yeah,
20:56
Speaker 1: I had the names.
20:56
Speaker 4: I should so you get one more? You suspended? Is
20:59
Speaker 4: that the case? Then into knockout stage? I think you
21:02
Speaker 4: missed the next game?
21:03
Speaker 5: I think is that Okay, it's a little targeting style, right,
21:06
Speaker 5: it's not. It's not a half though, it's a whole game. Yeah,
21:10
Speaker 5: so they got to be careful with those guys.
21:11
Speaker 1: But I'm with you.
21:12
Speaker 5: They should be loose and they should be able to
21:13
Speaker 5: take care of Turkey. We know for a fact that
21:15
Speaker 5: they're going to be playing in set. What Santa Clara
21:17
Speaker 5: is that where their next game will be in the
21:18
Speaker 5: knockout round?
21:19
Speaker 2: I think next week?
21:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think on July first, first is when when
21:22
Speaker 4: it's slat enough for it to be and that one
21:24
Speaker 4: will be at a normal viewing time. I think that
21:26
Speaker 4: one's gonna be a six or seven o'clock, it is,
21:28
Speaker 4: uh Dolph I said that I appreciate that it's not
21:30
Speaker 4: like the alt indie band this year, where sometimes I
21:33
Speaker 4: feel like when when the casuals like myself start getting
21:35
Speaker 4: into the world of copulary, Dude, you don't.
21:38
Speaker 1: Really watch Loligo, so no one really cares what you're saying.
21:42
Speaker 1: You just like there's something.
21:44
Speaker 4: To the festival of the sport that it is. It
21:49
Speaker 4: is a beautiful game, no doubt about it. It's a
21:50
Speaker 4: different game than I think that we watch all the time,
21:53
Speaker 4: but the festiveness around it, it's it's hard to not
21:57
Speaker 4: get into, especially when it's in the backyard. Yeah, it's
22:00
Speaker 4: pretty amazing. And that you just nailed it right there.
22:02
Speaker 5: The fact that we can watch games in real time
22:04
Speaker 5: and not with a seven or eight hour time difference
22:06
Speaker 5: or when it's in the Far East, you know, like
22:08
Speaker 5: a fifteen hour time difference, and.
22:09
Speaker 1: The fact that our team is relevant this year.
22:12
Speaker 5: I think that's digging it so much, right, because I mean,
22:16
Speaker 5: how many years have we had just trash teams that
22:19
Speaker 5: didn't just watched.
22:21
Speaker 3: For the years were we've snuck through to finally make
22:24
Speaker 3: the knockout round. Just to get you know, beat by
22:26
Speaker 3: Belgium or warm just because like that was our Oh
22:29
Speaker 3: we made the playoffs, like it's like making the tournament
22:31
Speaker 3: when you're a horizonally team. But that's how it felt like,
22:34
Speaker 3: not not a really legit contender to win it all.
22:37
Speaker 3: So you know, hope, hope they can get it going
22:40
Speaker 3: into a deep run here in the knockout round.
22:41
Speaker 5: It's really cool to see the international crowd coming over
22:45
Speaker 5: here and making a lot of noise and embracing BUCkies
22:49
Speaker 5: and and waffle House and fast food and it's just
22:53
Speaker 5: fun to see. It's It's added an element of entertainment
22:57
Speaker 5: that I didn't think I would have for the World Cup,
22:58
Speaker 5: but I've gotten into it.
23:00
Speaker 2: In the Norwegians rowing in Times Square, that's awesome, like
23:03
Speaker 2: the highlight for me.
23:05
Speaker 1: They're just having so much fun. The fan base is
23:07
Speaker 1: that you love seeing that.
23:08
Speaker 4: I wish they would have put one in the Midwest though,
23:10
Speaker 4: because like you said, Bucky's getting a lot of shine,
23:13
Speaker 4: Casey's getting a lot of run.
23:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, these people need to see Quick.
23:17
Speaker 4: Trip right, Like I mean, whether or not it was
23:19
Speaker 4: so right, it was near the Chicago I saw yesterday.
23:22
Speaker 4: Maybe one of the bigger misses was they should have
23:25
Speaker 4: put one of these games at the US Bank Stadium. Yeah,
23:28
Speaker 4: Like you want to talk about the visuals of that
23:30
Speaker 4: beautiful glass ceiling rolling through the Norwegians, hearing the horn
23:35
Speaker 4: go off after they scored a goal. Could you imagine
23:38
Speaker 4: the six to midnight feel in those days? Those people
23:40
Speaker 4: would have lost them blew their thoughts.
23:42
Speaker 3: That would have been fair because of ninety four of
23:43
Speaker 3: the Midwest sides for Chicago and Detroit.
23:45
Speaker 5: With all due respect to Kansas City, I love AAR
23:47
Speaker 5: I mean it's one of the best or best venues
23:50
Speaker 5: in sports. We have fun going down to watch Packers
23:52
Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen. But you're right, US Bank is like
23:55
Speaker 5: a glittering show. Beautiful up there too. I want one
24:00
Speaker 5: of the prettier spots in this in the league.
24:02
Speaker 3: The only thing I can think of is they were
24:03
Speaker 3: well one, you had to figure out the grass thing,
24:05
Speaker 3: So maybe that was right.
24:06
Speaker 1: The only thing they were worried.
24:08
Speaker 3: About teams that didn't have strong MLS franchises not being
24:12
Speaker 3: you know, a good host, because maybe they wouldn't have
24:14
Speaker 3: the fan base that's into soccer, and Kansas.
24:17
Speaker 1: City does have that.
24:18
Speaker 3: So maybe they thought that Kansas City was a safer
24:20
Speaker 3: play because they knew they did get people. But I
24:21
Speaker 3: think they underestimated the fact that a lot of people
24:23
Speaker 3: would want to go to World Cup matches in the
24:25
Speaker 3: United States no matter where they were.
24:27
Speaker 1: And the fact that you didn't even see one in
24:29
Speaker 1: Chicago was shocking to me.
24:30
Speaker 5: No, they had a friendly against Germany d Day six.
24:35
Speaker 1: Kickoff, the kickoff match or whatever.
24:37
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
24:41
Speaker 2: I don't know.
24:42
Speaker 1: I'll tune in.
24:42
Speaker 5: I won't tune in tonight because I'll still be at
24:43
Speaker 5: Summer Fest, but I guess I'll.
24:45
Speaker 1: Have to throw it in the off tomorrow.
24:46
Speaker 5: Are you just gonna against good, good, good good?
24:52
Speaker 3: We got we got there driving, let's go.
24:54
Speaker 2: That's right.
24:55
Speaker 4: You were a watch out on veteran moves. It's it's
24:58
Speaker 4: a smart move because tonight is going to be a
25:00
Speaker 4: good one. You mentioned it that Ed Shearon is gonna
25:02
Speaker 4: be at the main stage. I've seen him a couple
25:03
Speaker 4: of times. He is, Uh, he's a different kind of
25:06
Speaker 4: act than a lot of people would go with just
25:08
Speaker 4: a one man band, and he will rip it up there.
25:11
Speaker 5: And I didn't think that would ever work other than
25:13
Speaker 5: on a street corner, Times Square or.
25:14
Speaker 2: In a stadium, but he's incredible at what he does stadium.
25:20
Speaker 2: Someone I think Derek from Whitewater pointed out a hailstorm
25:22
Speaker 2: is the best show tonight.
25:24
Speaker 1: I saw that once at Summer.
25:28
Speaker 2: Shredder.
25:29
Speaker 5: Yeah it wasn't my thing, but I didn't hate it.
25:31
Speaker 5: They're fun, They're fun. That'll be a good one tonight
25:35
Speaker 5: is the one Marcus King tonight. If you want to
25:38
Speaker 5: see a cat that can sound like a motown chick
25:41
Speaker 5: or a Southern rock god, go see Marcus King because
25:45
Speaker 5: he brings it all to the table.
25:47
Speaker 1: Is definitely I want to check him out.
25:49
Speaker 5: He did an Austin City Limits festival a month or
25:52
Speaker 5: two ago, and I'm sure that's still like.
25:53
Speaker 2: Im to sit down with Howard Stern and it was awesome.
25:56
Speaker 2: Marty's King band Tomorrow night, it's tomorrow Night, Tomorrow night good.
25:59
Speaker 2: Then we don't just split loyalties. But yeah, that tomorrow
26:01
Speaker 2: night will be a good show too. But yeah, that
26:04
Speaker 2: that's a good recommendation. Which was the mobile mobiles, the
26:07
Speaker 2: old US Cellular Star old stage.
26:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the old iHeart line stage, you line.
26:13
Speaker 1: The old what was it you line before it was you?
26:17
Speaker 1: It's always in my rock stage.
26:19
Speaker 3: I think it was the Summer Fest Rock stage maybe,
26:23
Speaker 3: and then it was the Mountain Dew wasn't it the
26:24
Speaker 3: Mountain Dew Stage for a while back in the ninety
26:27
Speaker 3: Back in the two.
26:27
Speaker 5: Thousands when I first got here, the country stage was
26:30
Speaker 5: the Paps stage.
26:32
Speaker 2: The Paps Festival stage.
26:34
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you know, the supporters come and go.
26:37
Speaker 3: That's the way it goes, you know, that's for sure.
26:40
Speaker 5: That's when we had an exclusive country stage at Summerfest.
26:43
Speaker 1: Every night was a country headliner.
26:45
Speaker 4: Well remember when they had a comedy stage, right, yes,
26:49
Speaker 4: oh yeah, they did those comedians like o Man when
26:53
Speaker 4: it was in the middle of the grounds.
26:54
Speaker 2: People those comedians did not like it. Then they moved
26:57
Speaker 2: it to where by the Amphitheater which is now the
26:59
Speaker 2: Last So Lounge, which is also a country Yeah. Yeah,
27:02
Speaker 2: they do country and uh they inputation there, cover bands. Yeah,
27:07
Speaker 2: that's a good place to go if if it's raining,
27:09
Speaker 2: or if you just want to you know, sing some songs,
27:12
Speaker 2: you know, just relax, Yeah, if you want to. Yeah, tonight,
27:15
Speaker 2: oh yeah, the legendary Bobby Frist is playing tomorrow too.

Speaker 2: invading town.
27:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, and the pitching stars have aligned, right,
27:37
Speaker 5: we're going to see the three studs at the beginning
27:40
Speaker 5: of that rotation. But how about how about a shout
27:42
Speaker 5: out to, uh, who's the who's the journeyman? Reliever that
27:46
Speaker 5: they got from the A's that came in last night.
27:47
Speaker 1: Was just gas?
27:50
Speaker 2: How about that guy last night?
27:51
Speaker 5: You could just tell he was just, oh my god,
27:53
Speaker 5: I got nothing left in the tank. And it's like, well,
27:54
Speaker 5: it's you or nobody, buddy, so you better get the
27:56
Speaker 5: job done.
27:57
Speaker 1: And he gets the game ending double play.
27:58
Speaker 3: Well that's why I still think they They started by
28:00
Speaker 3: bailing him out with the bunt because he hadn't gotten
28:03
Speaker 3: it out yet and it was first and second noality,
28:05
Speaker 3: They bunted, and he made a really nice play, not
28:08
Speaker 3: a good bunt though, it wasn't a good bunt, but
28:10
Speaker 3: he did get it down and a lot of guys
28:12
Speaker 3: aren't used to buy and the Brewers have been doing
28:13
Speaker 3: a great job kind of bucking that trend. And they
28:15
Speaker 3: have good obviously handling, they have good bunters, and they've
28:18
Speaker 3: done a good job with it. But most guys don't
28:20
Speaker 3: know how to bunt or are not used to the
28:22
Speaker 3: bunting at least, so it's.
28:24
Speaker 1: A risky proposition to do it.
28:25
Speaker 3: It's not the same as bunting in nineteen ninety three,
28:28
Speaker 3: when everybody could do it and you could count on
28:29
Speaker 3: it being a sacrifice.
28:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That was big. That's true. I mean
28:33
Speaker 1: it used to be. You're right.
28:34
Speaker 5: I think the guys used to be able to get
28:36
Speaker 5: that down way more and put it where they wanted
28:38
Speaker 5: to be. But you know, this is a road trip
28:39
Speaker 5: that started owing to two with two frustrating losses in Atlanta,
28:42
Speaker 5: and now you pop off four in a row.
28:44
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're thinking. If you're the Reds,
28:46
Speaker 4: that's gotta be one of the worst things. Whenever the
28:49
Speaker 4: Brewers come to town, they just have to be so frustrated.
28:51
Speaker 4: They haven't won a series I think at home against
28:54
Speaker 4: the Brewers since like twenty twenty one. I think the
28:56
Speaker 4: broadcast said earlier in the weekend that is, it's like
28:58
Speaker 4: nine series in a rowers and just with frustrating results
29:04
Speaker 4: because they yesterday Drew mentioned it earlier. You start that run,
29:07
Speaker 4: it's hard to stop the avalanche, especially without your top
29:11
Speaker 4: three guys and one of which just due to a suspension,
29:14
Speaker 4: the other ones with the rest like you could see
29:16
Speaker 4: the light at the end of the tunnel, and then
29:18
Speaker 4: Cincinnati's dug out of like, hey, if we're gonna turn
29:20
Speaker 4: something around, we better do it here tonight. And now
29:23
Speaker 4: all of a sudden they look back in their twelve
29:24
Speaker 4: and a half out.
29:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had taken two out of three from the
29:26
Speaker 5: Yankees in New York over the weekend, and they come
29:29
Speaker 5: in with a little momentum.
29:30
Speaker 1: And got Ellie back, got Ellie back.
29:32
Speaker 5: And the rest is history, and the Brewers went in
29:35
Speaker 5: there and take all three. Every game could have gone
29:37
Speaker 5: either way, but yeah, Brewers, get it done.
29:40
Speaker 2: Brewers could have swept the Braves and didn't and lost
29:43
Speaker 2: the series, and they could have lost to these games
29:45
Speaker 2: to pretty easily.
29:46
Speaker 4: And great call on bringing now is maybe an easier
29:49
Speaker 4: pinch hit scenario than some other ones. But calling Andrew
29:52
Speaker 4: Vaughn's number there to be able to clear the bases.
29:54
Speaker 4: That is a heck of a button to be able
29:56
Speaker 4: to push.
29:56
Speaker 5: And at the time you're thinking lights out, good night,
29:58
Speaker 5: let's go focus on the just down and then it
30:00
Speaker 5: got all the time.
30:01
Speaker 2: That's the one that uh, that's the one. Terry Francona
30:04
Speaker 2: stayed awake thinking about last night.
30:07
Speaker 4: Sitting there wondering do we go, do we make the move?
30:09
Speaker 4: Do I make them go to the right to move? Yeah, Vaughan,
30:12
Speaker 4: I got a hit anyway, maybe maybe, but I thought
30:15
Speaker 4: they were just trying to nurse it and take as
30:17
Speaker 4: long as possible and then they were going to make
30:19
Speaker 4: the move, but instead and let him, let him go,
30:21
Speaker 4: and one too long, one too long.
30:24
Speaker 1: The big, big weekend for or a big week for
30:26
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughn.
30:27
Speaker 4: He he scores from first on a triple by Jake Bowers,
30:31
Speaker 4: about the only way he can score from first, and
30:34
Speaker 4: then he gets the he drives in three with that
30:36
Speaker 4: huge pinch it.
30:38
Speaker 3: He's been great, especially against against lefty's and his numbers
30:42
Speaker 3: are just crazy against them. It was just the surprise
30:45
Speaker 3: was that the redsid and going to the writing last night,
30:48
Speaker 3: you face someone.
30:48
Speaker 5: That's it does so all Star voting goes through, what
30:53
Speaker 5: do we know, is it another week or so or two?
30:56
Speaker 1: I think it's wrapping up. Isn't it got one more updates?
30:59
Speaker 2: Then it's like Jake Bowers make the All Star team
31:02
Speaker 2: as a throw in for somebody who's hurt.
31:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, something it's at that's a tough position to get through, Like,
31:09
Speaker 4: I mean you're.
31:09
Speaker 1: Looking at it.
31:10
Speaker 2: I mean, where's he play?
31:11
Speaker 4: Well, he's listed as one of the first basement I know,
31:14
Speaker 4: but I mean to try to jump over Freddie Freeman,
31:16
Speaker 4: Bryce Arper and Matt Olson's Like, it's just that that's
31:19
Speaker 4: a group that you're just not going.
31:20
Speaker 1: To be breakthrough. He's got the best nickname.
31:22
Speaker 2: There's a utility guy who is the Brewers Rep. Does
31:26
Speaker 2: wild Bill sleep sleep sneak in as a injury replacement
31:30
Speaker 2: or something.
31:30
Speaker 4: Well, Bryce's shortened the gap quite a bit. He's inside
31:34
Speaker 4: of sixty thousand votes behind him and Bryson Scott Stops
31:38
Speaker 4: having a pretty nice year. But otherwise it's going to
31:41
Speaker 4: be the two pitchers, right miss and Harrison and and
31:43
Speaker 4: then it rolls through because I don't necessarily know even
31:47
Speaker 4: a Contreras has the name recognition there at the catcher spot.
31:52
Speaker 4: But again, you got to jump over a Philly where
31:54
Speaker 4: they're going to continue to hammer the ballot box. Will
31:56
Speaker 4: Smith feels perennial and Drake Baldwin deserves to be the
32:00
Speaker 4: starter in the This is gonna be the starter, isn't he.
32:03
Speaker 4: I would think maybe maybe Sanchez, but it's gonna be
32:06
Speaker 4: Sanchez at home, maybe Sanchiz Franchez in Philadelphia. Yeah, it's
32:10
Speaker 4: gonna be Sanchez in Philadelphia. Or it would be Tani
32:14
Speaker 4: to lead off and start the All Star Game. I mean,
32:17
Speaker 4: you think we're still doing that at some point He's
32:20
Speaker 4: going to start the All Star Game and be the
32:21
Speaker 4: leadoff hitter.
32:22
Speaker 3: At some point you think he'd want the n L
32:24
Speaker 3: wins leader to be the star. I mean Ashby, I
32:26
Speaker 3: mean I would think, oh, come on, okay, yeah, I
32:33
Speaker 3: think I'm over to is that we're already calling it.
32:36
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Ashby has already booked a flight for
32:39
Speaker 2: the for that.
32:40
Speaker 1: You know, we're playing golf. But it is not.
32:43
Speaker 2: It is not He's not going to Philadelphia. That's awesome.
32:45
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, but yeah, funny arm and funny.
32:47
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know he's he's been good and
32:50
Speaker 1: he's got the wins.
32:51
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, obviously I don't think that's gonna dream
32:54
Speaker 3: for a while.
32:55
Speaker 2: That flickered, Yeah, yeah, sure.
32:57
Speaker 1: Anything else. Oh, the Bucks did make a second round pick.
33:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, they sent cash to Orlando via the two Yeah,
33:06
Speaker 5: six six eight Australian Basketball League. Malik Lewis, who's from
33:12
Speaker 5: Trinidad and Tobago, both of them both, Yeah, Trinida and
33:16
Speaker 5: Tobago six eight forward. He looks lean, looks like he
33:19
Speaker 5: can put the ball in the hoopes raw. Obviously, Bucks
33:22
Speaker 5: are introducing their two newest players. Well at the Hillside
33:27
Speaker 5: boys get one of today.
33:29
Speaker 4: They got they get one of those in a trade
33:31
Speaker 4: that is a trade that would be announced next week.
33:35
Speaker 5: What could that be now I'm worried. I hope it's
33:38
Speaker 5: not Giannis God.
33:39
Speaker 1: It is interesting though.
33:40
Speaker 3: The strategy, I guess the dream with the second rounder
33:42
Speaker 3: is the oak stream where the you know, I guess dream.
33:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you hope to hit the lotto on one
33:48
Speaker 1: of these guys.
33:49
Speaker 4: Michael Red right, Chris Middleton middle cash money guys. Yeah,
33:54
Speaker 4: so who knows.
33:54
Speaker 3: Maybe the next one for the Bucks is the young
33:56
Speaker 3: man or maybe Bogel Markovich and who was the oh yeah,
34:00
Speaker 3: the Adriatic Basketball Association m VP.
34:03
Speaker 5: Now you have your homework cut off. Who's the greatest
34:05
Speaker 5: second round pick in the history of the NBA.
34:08
Speaker 4: Well, I also like that we have a mister irrelevant, right,
34:12
Speaker 4: I mean sixth we got mister irrelevant.
34:14
Speaker 1: We got one did Yeah, I don't think he gets
34:16
Speaker 1: a trip to Some of.
34:17
Speaker 4: The best ones traded sixtieth over pick sixtieth overall would
34:21
Speaker 4: be uh former Bucks Sam Merrill and uh the not
34:25
Speaker 4: so famous Isaiah Thomas, the second Isaiah.
34:27
Speaker 2: By the way, if you want to know the whole
34:29
Speaker 2: skinny about the honest, read Jimmy Oh's piece that is
34:32
Speaker 2: it is a long you need to dive into how
34:35
Speaker 2: things frayed.
34:36
Speaker 1: It's quite by one of our best scribes around.
34:39
Speaker 2: Good stuff in there.
34:41
Speaker 3: Other great second round pick, thanks, Willis Reed. Willis Reid,
34:45
Speaker 3: Yeah he was Wow, he was in sixty four. And
34:48
Speaker 3: then Draymond obviously Michael Red top of the second round.
34:51
Speaker 3: Michael Red one of the best Bucks second round picks. Yeah,
34:53
Speaker 3: big time, no question, Dolph, Thanks for hanging out with us.
34:56
Speaker 3: We'll see you tonight on the grounds of Summerfest. I'll

35:00
Speaker 2: A quick break, Hunter browmgrad Joints is an hour from
35:02
Speaker 2: right now, we'll look ahead to what lies ahead the
35:05
Speaker 2: Brewers and the Cubs this weekend. You're in the huddle
35:07
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew billion arm and bringing it
35:13
Speaker 2: to you the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. You can
35:17
Speaker 2: hit us up eight seven seven seven nine seven three
35:20
Speaker 2: and it gets you to nicolay Lo dot com talking
35:22
Speaker 2: text on Billy. Who's our current electric superhero of the day.
35:25
Speaker 3: Uh?
35:26
Speaker 4: Can I give it to Jim Osarski? I love it
35:30
Speaker 4: Jimmy Oh the Polish Prints because Jimmy gave the reporting
35:34
Speaker 4: that we've all been kind of wondering waiting for, and
35:38
Speaker 4: he had one of the deepest dives into how the
35:42
Speaker 4: Yannis era in Milwaukee came to a crumble and came
35:47
Speaker 4: to an end. And Jim has had the most Him
35:50
Speaker 4: and Laurie Nickel have had those two. No slight to
35:54
Speaker 4: Eric name. He's been phenomenal as well. It's covered for
35:56
Speaker 4: a long time. Eric had a cool piece up at
35:58
Speaker 4: the Athletic of just talking about what it's been like
36:01
Speaker 4: covering Gyiannis through this time. But Jimmy O laid it
36:04
Speaker 4: all out there as to how it all dissolved. The
36:07
Speaker 4: frustrations with maybe keeping Doc one year longer than they
36:11
Speaker 4: wanted to, the moment, the tense moment in the locker
36:14
Speaker 4: room when a member of ownership or alongside the ownership
36:19
Speaker 4: group right after west Edens had had that Ramona Shelbourne
36:22
Speaker 4: interview and said, you know, he's either going to sign
36:23
Speaker 4: with us or probably going to be traded in the
36:25
Speaker 4: off season. They're going to trade me, they don't have
36:29
Speaker 4: the balls to trade me, or what the exact phrasing
36:31
Speaker 4: of it. But Jimmy had the what three year long
36:36
Speaker 4: breakdown two and a half years as to how this
36:39
Speaker 4: came to be, And much like many divorces, there wasn't
36:44
Speaker 4: just one moment.
36:45
Speaker 1: It was building. It was building.
36:46
Speaker 4: It was building to the point where if you can't
36:49
Speaker 4: necessarily look at each other in the same room, then
36:52
Speaker 4: maybe it's time you both go your separate ways. And
36:54
Speaker 4: it feels like at some particular point that both sides
36:58
Speaker 4: realized that that's where they were at.
37:00
Speaker 1: In this relationship.
37:01
Speaker 4: But Jim Osarski, Laurie Nickel, Eric name our local journalists
37:06
Speaker 4: on the Yannas story, they've actually heard from Giannis. They've
37:09
Speaker 4: had interviews with Giannis during the time they have this
37:13
Speaker 4: fully lined up Jays Online. Go and subscribe and read
37:15
Speaker 4: it because it is a tremendous, tremendous piece that Jimmy
37:19
Speaker 4: put together in the farewell that Giannis had and the
37:23
Speaker 4: ending of one of the greatest sports careers in Wisconsin
37:27
Speaker 4: sports history.
37:28
Speaker 2: Reading that kind of cemented what I thought. And you
37:30
Speaker 2: can have your thoughts about Budenholzer, but his message had
37:33
Speaker 2: gone a little stale. They weren't getting the results. Players
37:35
Speaker 2: were kind of like bucking against him. So if that
37:38
Speaker 2: had to happen, he was.
37:39
Speaker 1: Going to get fired if they lost that Brooklyn, no question,
37:43
Speaker 1: and if that had to happen, and it did.
37:45
Speaker 2: The screw up was hiring Adrian Griffin because you had
37:47
Speaker 2: a championship ready team and you gave it to a
37:50
Speaker 2: rookie coach and inexperienced coach who like and that to
37:53
Speaker 2: me was always a reach like it was always like
37:57
Speaker 2: and then replacing him with Doc Rivers and Holland Rivers
38:00
Speaker 2: off the golf course and off the broadcast bench.
38:03
Speaker 1: And that wasn't great.
38:04
Speaker 4: No, it sounded like that he rubbed everybody the wrong
38:06
Speaker 4: way with his first initial comments.
38:08
Speaker 2: But the Griffin hire in that cycle to not go
38:10
Speaker 2: get a more accomplished or ready coach was a huge, huge,
38:16
Speaker 2: huge mistake. That was the one.
38:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when you had I mean Terry Stotts sitting
38:19
Speaker 4: there like guys that had had coached and coached big
38:23
Speaker 4: time playoff series before.
38:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do.
38:26
Speaker 4: And and you also wonder again like if indeed Griffin
38:30
Speaker 4: had also been hired to coach the team that had
38:33
Speaker 4: Drew Holliday at the front forefront of it on the
38:36
Speaker 4: defensive side, how different would it be when he's prepping
38:39
Speaker 4: for his first time being an NBA head coach, and
38:42
Speaker 4: then right before training camp you have a totally different
38:45
Speaker 4: team because you bring in Damian Lillard. Like the timing
38:49
Speaker 4: of everything that it all had transpired, it was difficult
38:53
Speaker 4: to see any off ramps to the route that they
38:57
Speaker 4: were on. And it did feel like every time that
39:00
Speaker 4: you kept feeling like you were taking a step forward,
39:02
Speaker 4: he ended up taking two steps back.
39:04
Speaker 2: Could have taken Nick Nurse then he had won a championship.
39:06
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse was beating right there.
39:08
Speaker 2: He had beaten you to go to it, and that
39:09
Speaker 2: was not that wasn't in the cards. I don't know
39:12
Speaker 2: what happened there, but.
39:14
Speaker 4: Well, in the reports of the Kenny Atkinson. Uh he
39:22
Speaker 4: but the the budenholes are firing. That was one of
39:24
Speaker 4: the fascinating ones where even many had said. And the
39:29
Speaker 4: reporting that Jimmy O had in there that that started
39:32
Speaker 4: a bit of a rift as well, because folks were
39:35
Speaker 4: and you know, Jiannis and amongst others, the franchise player
39:38
Speaker 4: as Jimmy Wrights, wasn't thrilled that there was any hesitation,
39:41
Speaker 4: even for a mere seven days after the season ended.
39:44
Speaker 1: They thought it had to happen now. Instead, they kind
39:47
Speaker 1: of dragged.
39:47
Speaker 4: The feet, waited, waited, waited, and much like all of it,
39:52
Speaker 4: waited far too long. And then it got to uh
39:54
Speaker 4: got to dicey and got worse and worse and worse,
39:56
Speaker 4: and you know, I mean Jay Crowder five second round picks.
39:59
Speaker 4: They just kept containing you need to try to chase
40:00
Speaker 4: the tail and just kept getting worse.
40:03
Speaker 2: Interesting stuff.
40:04
Speaker 4: Piece and call Current dot Com. That will light up
40:08
Speaker 4: your back room, Light up your It will illuminate your backyard.
40:12
Speaker 4: This might illuminate you as a Bucks fan as to
40:14
Speaker 4: how the era of Giannis and Teta Kumbo with the
40:17
Speaker 4: Bucks went down.
40:18
Speaker 2: Love it, love it all right. Hunter Bomgart joins us
