  Speaker 1: to say the other day I was at the ballpark.

  Speaker 1: I was in the little reporters room and a friend
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of ours came in. His name rhymes with Kurt Hogue.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, what's up, Kurt? He said, Hey, Drew.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Last night we were watching Hunter dance parts of party
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: videos for no reason whatsoever.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's a random thing, but I'm here
• 0:49

  Speaker 2: I was laughing. It lives on, It lives on. Yes,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that was.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a point in time and in a
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: period in time. And I think people enjoy cherishing and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know about you'll cherish it, but you'll people. Yeah, right,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: people do enjoy cherish it. Hey, it was the salad days.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: It was yeah, yeah exactly, so it was fun and yes,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: we were reminiscing a little bit around the dinner table
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: in the in the media dining room the other night.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And then someone just called it up.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Spencer, our friend Spencer was the one who
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: enjoyed calling it up.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And uh, it was a Spencer.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a It was a Christmas one too,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: so you had like, all I want for Christmas is you?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Oh? Which then they played actually.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Over the U in the stadium that night, which we
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: were trying to figure out why, but it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Wasn't no, so we were trying to say it was
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Christmas in July right right, which for those who have
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: been worn't with us back then, back when there was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a Drew and KB show and Hunter was their swell
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: young producer who came down from a station having worked
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and you know in Ryanlander and lived in Tomahawk or
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: worked in tom Hawk and lived in Ryelander.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I get that, yea, yep, right, worked in Tamahawk, lived
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: in Rydlander.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Well, when you came down and we heard that on
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: your own show you had something called the Dance Party,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: We're like, well, you got to bring that here.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I probably would have let it go right away, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: my partner at the time was smitten with the bit
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and the way you committed to it, and especially when
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we started doing more video stuff and putting it out
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: on social media, because otherwise it would just be playing
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of dance songs in the five o'clock hour.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But it was a fun time. Hunter did it for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: about a year and then it was at sunset. After that,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we took it on the road too. We took it
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the summer fast, We took it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we had a.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Sunburn Bowl in the Dominican Republic where you were dancing
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: via zoom with twenty people. Yes, so they're way drunker
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and way more sunburn. But yes, yes, it's all part
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of history. It's there, and it's nice that it's the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: moment is remembered, Yes.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And Kurt Holk joined me on Milwaukee Baseball tonight last night.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Which I appreciate. It all comes full circle. Really.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys were talking about the potential for
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the Brewers to make trades. They didn't make one. No,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Since we left the airwaves at eight oh.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: One, yesterday.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: There were no trades yesterday or by the Brewers, right,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: there was a trade with the Mets.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Really, the only trade that went down yesterday and the
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Mets started their sellof was aj Minter reliever heading to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the Twins for a couple of prospects.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is wild because they got a guy back,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a prospect named Bruin Agbayani, the son of former Mets
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Phenaen Benny Agbayani, the flying Hawaiian. So he is now
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the Mets number twenty two ranked prospect. But he's back,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: so that's a great story if he ever makes it
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to the big leagues. There's a lot of reporters there
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that really liked covering his dad and who's nineteen years old.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: He was the twins twenty ninth prospect. So so the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Twins are buyers. Everyone as Wins are buyers.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as much as maybe people wanted Joe Ryan to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: be in a Brewer's uniform or to be on their team.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And I heard I heard mention of Byron Buxton too. Uh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: looks like the Mets are buying. So they've decided now
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Twins are buying. I mean Twins are buying. Yeah, they Uh,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the it appears like the schoobl sweepstakes. I was reading
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a Robert Murray piece and it appears like, Yeah, the Dodgers,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: if they want him, they'll go get him because they've
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: got the prospects and the money and it's not a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: rental because they can afford him. And they have to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: look like, do the put it this way? Do the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Dodgers need Do the Dodgers need to our schoobl to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: win the World Series?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: No? No, absolutely not. But would they like him? Yes?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Who wouldn't.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Do the Dodgers go get everybody they can because money
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is no object.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Would it help the Dodgers to prevent the Brewers or
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: anybody else from getting Schooble, Yes?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And as they read the tea leaves, if Otani's arm
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: troubles linger and he can't pitch next season, well there's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a top flight started.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: To take his place. That too, That too cool.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So it's like everything fits for them. It's like it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches. They don't need him to win
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the World Series. They'd still be favored if they don't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: get him when somebody else does. But if they get him,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you just got to go oh man, just call the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: engraver and start loss and start the trophy engraving, because yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they're going to.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Be tough to beat.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I saw an article yesterday, I think it was Fox
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: News that said, yeah, the Trek Scouoble trade to the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Dodgers would officially ruin baseball. And I'm like, well, I mean,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you're not totally far off. It wouldn't ruin the sport.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: But but I get where you're going with that, because
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: obviously it's one thing for the Dodgers to be able
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to go and buy all the free agents on the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: best free agents on the market. It's another for them
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to trade in season and do that again. And the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: thought probably would be and I think I saw already
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: that the Dodgers would be his preferred landing spot in
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: free agency. While it'd give you a few months head start,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: maybe win a title with them, and say, you know what,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I think I like it here. I want to stay
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: in LA and pitch for the Dodgers under my next extension,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and the Dodgers will be able to do it. Of Course,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the lockout is looming, so we don't know what exactly
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: baseball will look like next year and beyond. But you
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: can have a pretty good guess that even even with
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a major change, if you say, say the salary cap happens,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: you're still going to have things that are grandfathered in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: It's going to take time to get all that squared away,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: so they would still be the front runners, probably the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: sign Derek Scoobel yep. In that world, the derby includes
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers, Brewers.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Cubs, yeah, Cubs, the Ice yeah don't uh, and the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Rays and I guess the Braves are on the fringe
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of that too. Now, Robert Murray has a piece where
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of other people are speculating about the packages
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that would take to get Scoogle from the Tigers.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get to another package here after we hear
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: what Robert Murray has. Yeah, one was going viral yesterday.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Well, and Murray's Murray said, the Brewers we received to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: our Schoogle for all of two months, a ce seeds
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: type deal, right, and they would give up Shane Drowan, Okay,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Luis Pana, nineteen year old who's not far from you know, well,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: who's a rising prospect but a year or two away.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Ye, number two prospect in the Brewers system.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And Luis Lara, who's already the Brewers right fielder and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is signed to a multi year, multi million dollar deal,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: who the Brewers have committed to, and like Man who
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: has kind of already made a lot of fans. That's realistic,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: realistic trade package, though it does and I know I'd
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: feel better if it was like Freelick in there instead
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of Lara.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: That's me.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: See, that's an interesting one. Would you rather see Freelick
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: or Lara?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Go?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I think right now Freelick means more to that clubhouse,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: and we've seen what he can do. Obviously, offense has
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: not been as good this year. Defense is still.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Really defenseally, but they'd be getting an established starting major
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: league player with playoff experience in a gold glove. I mean,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Lara's totally Laura's going to be good for and he
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: has more control. Yeah, Freelick's not exactly a bolting out
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the door anytime, right, So you'd get three years of
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: free Lick. Yep, I would be I understand why they'd
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: want drown because he could go right in the rotation
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and be there for a couple of years. Yeah, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he has the prospect that you get that you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: hopefully at present you get to open in two years,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and then you need one other element there.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I'd be more okay giving up drow In than I
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: would be Logan Henderson two brewers. I think, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: as good as Drowan has been, and I think he
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: could be a really good bullpen.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He's got a high ceiling. He looks like he's yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: he does.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But when young players, you got to look at him
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: when they're good, right, You don't look, oh yeah, scuffle
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and walk guys and stuff, but like, look at him
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: when he's good. And uh, I mean, he's twenty seven,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: so he's peaking, but I mean he's he's the areas
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: with three point five.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He's he's been, he's been good.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: He starts tonight against the Angels, he's, yeah, he's been good,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and he's been a reliable guy in that starting rotation.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: But the age has something to do with it as well,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: where you're going to have more years of Logan Henderson.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, Brandon Sproute is probably of the three, the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: one you probably could say, yeah, we'd like to give
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: him up, But I don't know if the Tigers necessarily
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: want a guy who's an over five era. Speaking of
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: trade packages for Schooble. Did you see what Steve Phillips
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: said on MLB Network radio yesterday?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I heard about it. I was wondering if they were
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: drug testing at MLB network.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Let's do you want to hear? Listen?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, So this is Steve Phillips, course former GM of
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: the Mets, and he was on Major League MLB Network
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: radio yesterday proposing what the Brewers would have to give
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: up for Terrek Scooble. Hint, it may be the whole team.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: They're going to have to give up Jesus Moday, the
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: top prospect in the organization to get them, and they're
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: likely going to have to give up Lewis Lara as well.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Luis Lara, who's in the big leagues right now, who's
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: got great plate discipline at the minor league level. It's
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: been a really nice producer and off to a decent
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: start in his big league career. I think those two
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: are gonna have to lead the way in the deal,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: and it may include Louis Pena as part of that too.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I think they'll get away with not putting Cooper Pratt
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: in since he's on the major league roster that I
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: know they don't want to give up a starter in
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: the big leagues, but Lara is up there, but I
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: think they can afford to give him in the deal.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And so I think it's gonna be a monster trade
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: that they're gonna have to go up major league ready
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: talent return, but they're also gonna want some pitching. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: now whether that is Aaron Ashby, what is some part
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: of that too, But I think that Ashby could be
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: something if I'm if I'm the Tigers, I want Ashby
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: coming back in the deal because I know he's that
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: long reliever getting all the wins, but I think he's
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: a potential starter and he would be part of that
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: package too, bringing back a major league ready pitcher in return.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: So you're so Steve Phillips is saying the Brewers would
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: have to give up Hey sus Ma Day, the.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Number one prospect in all of baseball.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: In all of baseball, Luis Pana, the number two prospect,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: and Luis la number two prospect of the Brewers system.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Luis Lara, who is the fourth ranked prospect in the
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Brewers system, plus Aaron.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Ashby, isn't Louis Lara beyond prospects since he's already the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: starting right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Fielder for this, But technically I think he counts as
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a prospect still, I guess. But if you but he's
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: saying three of your top four prospect and I guess
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: maybe the other guy in that top four and Cooper
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Pratt could stay with the Milwaukee Brewers. Oh, and then
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: you're gonna give up Aaron Ashby. That that's unrealistic. That
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: is not, That is not And that's that's where you
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: look at Robert Murray and you say that package makes more.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: My lifelong friend Andy and west Bend, who's a Tigers fan,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: he texted me when Phillips said that, and he's been
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he watches the Brewers because his family watches ber He
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: watches every Tigers game, and if there's a Brewers game
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: on and there's no Tigers game, he'll.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Watch the Brewer. Sure.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And he since for the last couple of weeks, has
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: been doing a dive and educating himself about Brewer's prospects
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the eventuality that there could
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: be a trade between the teams, and he agrees to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: brus have a deep pharm system, a lot of people
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that he likes. But he sent me that proposally yesterday
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: from Steve Phillips. Steve Phillips just went on the air
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: an MLB network and said the Brewers would have to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: give up made Lara and maybe Ashby for Schooble.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Is he suffering from a concussion? Right, Like that's going.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: From AT's coming from a diehard Tigers fan who wants
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the biggest return possible for Schooball right, Like like that's now,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: if Scooble had.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Two to three years of control or with an option.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Then I could see it. Yes, right, yep, if you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: had him for a couple of years. But in Milwaukee,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: where you're going to have him for fifteen, maybe starts
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: mm hm.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: That's just is untenable.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Ashby's such a big part
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of their blueprint for everything they do right now.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: That too, not that he's untouchable, because I could. You know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: if you said, Hunter, who do you want to give
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: up right now? Ashby or Henderson? I almost would lean.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I would lean Ashby because he's been worked so much.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Because dal Hall's kind of coming back, yeah, and you
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: could probably slot him in there, he would hopefully. But
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Ashby spent such a big part of man.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: He's part part of their blueprint right now, he is,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: because if they go to a playoff game and you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: have you know, you hope for miss to go seven yep,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and then like Ashby Rebay and McGill like that's.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And that's that's something I think is being overshadowed right
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: now too, is they they kind of need a leverage
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: reliever as well to it is that as much as
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: we're talking about the starters and old Freddy Peralta or
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Kevin Gonzman or Robbie Ray or whoever you want to name,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and of course Trek Scouoble all those conversations at the
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: beginning of trade deadline season, I was kind of like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I think relievers their biggest need. Just one of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: one another one of those leverage relievers. Now, it doesn't
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: look like Mason Miller is going to be moved out
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: of San Diego and he has years of control, So
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you're talking a huge package if you're going to try
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: to get the best closer in the game.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Don't think that's realistic.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: So do you who you know, do you try and
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: go get more of a mid level or some some
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: maybe not to the obviously the highest level of Mason
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Miller because he's probably your best reliever.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: In ball right now.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: But get someone else who can come in and be
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: that seventh eighth inning guy, and then it extends your
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: extends your game, especially down the stretch if you're trying
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: to rest some of those young guys and not maybe
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: have them go as deep into games. You want a
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: more high leverage reliever if you're in a close game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: So I think that's still still a very high priority
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: if I'm the Milwaukee Brewers. As much as Schooble is
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: fun to talk about, but yeah, that package was who
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: three out of your top four prospect?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Again, if if you had more of the years.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Of control, if you're getting school for a couple more years,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I would understand that. But that is like, okay, come
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: on now, and Ken Rosenthal yesterday is like, yeah, they
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: don't need to give up pay sers mid day for school.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: No.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller was asked about his status, and the Padres
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: are in the wildcard race, but they're five hundred.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: They're not good. Run differentials not good. There's there's not
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of indicators that they're going to be like
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they could. They're one seems that could make the playoffs,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: but not expected to win a series or make a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: deep run. Sure, right, so I mean anything can happen,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you can get hot whatever. But Mason Miller, since he
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: knows about being traded.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Because the A's, yeah, traded him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, having a having a great closer on
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a bad team, as we say, is like parking that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Lamborghini outside your double wide trailer, like you just it
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit right, right.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, why.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So you so you can win seventy games instead of
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: sixty or or you know, so you can win eighty
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: five instead of seventy eight. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But you know, the Padres are winning a little bit.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: They they seem to.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Be posturing that they will buy and they've spent money.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: We know that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But Mason Miller was asked about it and he said, uh,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I love it here.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Well, he said that back in April about I love
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: it here and my wife and I love it here. Now.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: San Diego is a good place if you have a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: lot of money. It's a great place to live, sure,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: special place to live from a city's perspective. Also, the stadium,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the fans, beautiful place to play. We do like it here,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: but he also knows that everybody looked at last year
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: straight as a big prospect. Hall kind of get setting
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the bar if you will. Everybody has different ways of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: valuating and evaluating talent. It's a hard thing to do.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But if somebody wants to give up the worlds get me,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that it has to be a yes. So
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he's saying like he's realistic enough to know that, well,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the padres if they get blown away by an offer,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that they would move him.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: But they're not motivated to do so.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: No, And I kind of think, honestly, that's Steve Phillips
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: proposals more along the lines of what you'd have to
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: give up to get Mason Miller. Not that you'd give
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: up all those I don't think that's in any trade
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: package unless you're getting a guy like schoobl for five years.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: But yeah, if but it's more so that would be
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: that would have to be a haul because you have
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: years of control beyond this year. For Mason Miller, he's
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: obviously the best closer in the game right now, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: you'd have to and he's a guy who can impact
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: three games a week, where schoob bl can impact one game.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: A week, So that's significant as well.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I think the question we need to be asking now
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: because they're under the gun. The deadline is five o'clock
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: on Monday, yep, And I think you have to ask
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: two questions.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Can the Brewers go to the World Series.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say win the World Series, but
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: because going to the World Series would be acceptable, yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you want to win it. But getting to winning a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: pennant for they have not done since nineteen eighty two. Yes,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I've come close they winning a pennant? Can the Brewers
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: win the pennant? Can the Brewers be champions of the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: National League if they don't make a move at the deadline.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I just have a really hard time believing they're not
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: going to make a deal some sort of.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: But can they like if they don't make a deal,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: If they don't and they still do they have the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: heditate with the guys coming back, you know, Harrison coming
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: back with d L.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Hall coming back.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Now, not like Lockridge is going to help things, but
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you know, but I'm saying, but guys that they have
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: coming back.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Boy, if they're in the AL, it would be such
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a quick yes.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, like it's just that things like if they
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: could just get if they just get through the gauntlet,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they could win the World Series.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: But the star power that's with the Dodgers and the
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Cobs and what the have and the Phillies.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I saw the Phillies coming and the Brewers like kind
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: of took it to them.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: You're right, you're right.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Phillies are two and eight in their last ten. Yeah,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the Brewers took it to them. The Brewers can play.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: We're going to see them play. The Dodgers come up,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: but the Brewers can play with the Dodgers. Yeah, on
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a given like we have PTSD from last year. But
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the Brewers are right there. Their record is like almost
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: identical to the Dodgers. So they can do it. But
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: if other teams make moves, the psychological lift that they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: get and then the droop that will happen with the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Brewers is a factor, Like that's yeah, it doesn't stuff
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen in back and players are aware of what's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: going on. If they see other teams add and the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Brewers stand pat there's this feeling like, oh, I guess
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the management doesn't believe in us, Like you might think
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that it would be a spark, but it's more of like.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, why don't why don't my parents love me? Sure?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Sure to try to add someone. Yeah, so.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I think intellectually I say, yes, the Brewers could win
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: if they don't make a move, they could, but they're
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: not going to be as good as they can be.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if they stand past I think it would almost
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: be a little bit of now practice. If you don't be,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: it would be a shock.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, given their resources and the arsenal that
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: they have to deal with. Because I just saw, like
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I've been throwing brail and pains number round because either
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a recent traf pick and the Brewis track record is good. Yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: well I look up and the guy's got twenty homers
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in his first minor league season.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: There's so many of those guys.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, and like, you know, it's I
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: would think of that. Andrew Fisher's is going to be
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in the big leagues real soon. But if you trade it,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you could probably recover.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing. The Brewers have such a deep
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: farm system that you make a deal here and you're
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: going to still be okay, Like no matter really what
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: you do. Now, if you give up the Steve Phillips
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: type of deal. Yeah, you know, and I'm glad he's
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you know, not the GM of the Brewers right now.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: But if you give up that type of deal, okay,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: that takes a hit, but I don't you obviously aren't
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: going to do that. So if you make any type
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: of deal, really you're still going to be okay because
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: of the depth you have in the farm system. So
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that because of that, those signs could point you to say, Okay,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: let's go and make that type of move because we
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: have the depth in our farm system to recover even
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: if we have to give up that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Type of top level prospects. Right. It's fun to talk
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: about this. It's the hot stove in the summer.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It's the hot grill, It's the hot gas grill.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: We're sizzling right now.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine seven three. Your ticket to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the nickolay Lot dot Com Talking text on, give us
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about what the Brewers should do at the deadline,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and just check in say hello. It's the Friday edition
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: of the Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. It's the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Power of the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew Wilson,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Hunter Bombguard bringing it to you. In this five o'clock
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: hour for our five o'clock Clubbers. Billy will join us
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: on his way up to Lambeau for day three of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Packers training camp. We'll hear from Packers coach Matt Lafleur.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Momentarily but obviously Topic A. Topic A B and C
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: is Brewers deadline approaching Brewers off last evening. Cubs did
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals and extra innings for some reason, that's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: how they roll. Subs have played I think more extra
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: inning games than anybody in ball.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Sure seems like that. Cobs five and a half games
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: back at the Brewers in the division.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: So, trade deadline is Monday at five o'clock. Brewers have
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a plethora of prospects. We're talking about potential deals. The limits.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Trek Scoble of the Doubt of the Tigers is obviously
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the number one piece out there, but there are others
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Brewers could make other moves. Hunter raises a good point.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: The bullpen might be as big a neat as the garter.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, so we're asking your thoughts.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Hunter.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: We get in some text on the Nicolay Lott I'm
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: talking text nine eighty seven seven seven nine to four
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: one ninety seven three we are.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: From the seven one five. I feel the Brewer has
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: missed a huge opportunity by not signing Jake Rogers from Detroit.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yesterday he got d Fade and the Orioles traded for
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: him for right handed pitcher Zane Barnhardt.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: A bit of go.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Scooble has said that he helped him win his Psy
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Young Award. Gary Sanchez is a significant downgrade from William
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: How secure would everyone feel if Contreras would have to
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: go on the IL for a period of time. Plus,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: if we do sign Schooble, how great would that make
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: him feel?
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Well? In Milwaukee? Well, as far as he probably means
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: trade for school.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but how would you feel if Contreras getzer? Well,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: how would you we feel if mis got hurt? Well, right,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that's if Terang got hurt. Yah know, he's a top
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: line player, right I did. I did check with my
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: pal Andy in West Bend, who's an early riser five
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: o'clock clubber, and he did say he said, I had
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of people ask me about him. He was
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: not Schoobl's personal catcher. Great guy can't hit interesting, So
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to me, it's like, wait a minute, you're let's not
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: slag on Gary Sanchez to mean he's the perfect backup catcher. Yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: veteran guy, been through it, played in New York all
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: those years. He can catch, and he can block and throw,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So he's not a defensive sieve. And I don't have
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to daydream to see him coming up, whether he gets
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a start or pinch hits, hitting a big home run
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: off a lefty reliever somewhere down the line totally. So
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: it's like, and he's a guy who can hit as
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a pinch hitter when some guys have to play every time,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: every day and they're not in the mode. Sanchez is
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: like to me, it's like, no, he's the perfect backup.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I think so Ben there done that scene, every scenario,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: knows how to call a game, knows your pitchers. Now
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I think if Cantraras went on the IL, that would
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: just hurt period. I you know, whether whoever is your
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: backup catcher. And so I think Gary's probably one of
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the better backup catchers in baseball. And so you know,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: and we had talked about yesterday like do you would
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: would would that be a spot where you try to
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: upgrade or something? But I think Gary's Gary's a good,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: good backup coutcher. You're not going to do great in
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: that department. And last year we saw him trying to
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit get cute with letting go of Eric
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Haas for Danny Jansen and it really didn't work out.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: It didn't work out.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: No, No, then that that should be the cautionary tale, right,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And that was a guy coming home to Wisconsin and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it didn't work out.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of people saying they want Mason Miller
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: instead of Scooble.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I Ryan Moschos on that camp.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of people saying that on YouTube as well.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Let's see Troy with a great comment here. Can we
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: get a big thank you for all the line workers
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: from all counties that have got Mnasha's power back on
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: after the complete carnage of the tornado. Yes, absolutely, huge
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: shout out to all the line workers and everybody who
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: has and all the volunteers. I know people went up
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: there to help in any way that they could. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: if you're in the area as well, I'm sure you
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: have helped, whether it be donating items or just lending
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: your time. So a shout out to everybody in that area.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: And especially all the line workers. And to get power
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: back up that quickly is incredible. So just the they
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: sprung into action and just a few days after there
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: is a lot of power restored. It sounds like in
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that area.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you there, that's fantastic. Let's swing it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to the Fox Valley. Packers are in camp. Packers are
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: on the grass. They had their second workout yesterday. Billy
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: was there doing training Camp live with Wayne Larvie. He'll
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: be doing it today with Aaron Nagler. Yeah, it should
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: be fun, which will be really fun. Yeah, watching two
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: guys are listening to two guys geek out about ball
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: or watching him on YouTube because the show is also
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: available on that too.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: That too.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So anytime the Packers coach meets the media in camp,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: it raises eyebrows.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: See what I did there? Well done well.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: But let's take a listen to Matt Lafleur speaking two
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: reporters yesterday before the first practice because he does a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: pre practice availability. Let's listen to Matt Leafleur from yesterday.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: India, you shouldn't get hurt since he was well.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: He just was feeling a little tight knits and just
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: like most guys, We're going to be cautious, get a
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: scan and make sure he's good to go, but he
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: should be out there today.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, same thing.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: He felt something an individual and so we're just being
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: cautious with him and we'll have a little bit better
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: idea once he goes through the testing today, but he
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: will not be out there.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Matt, what happened exactly when Muskrave went down this spring?
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Do you remember the play or just exactly kind of
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: what happened there?
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was he was just doing a basic individual
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: drill and felt something and so obviously we investigated further
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: and we're just hoping that it'll subside over time.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: I know it's still early, but how have you seen
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: Zaier and Cooper's skill sets match? Should kind of build
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: their chemistry again?
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Zi's played a ton of football, and I
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: think you can feel his presence in his veteran leadership
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: not only in the linebacker room or on defense, but
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: amongst the team. So I think he'll be a great
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: guy for everybody in that room to kind of lean
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: on in terms of his experience and he's what he's
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: seen in this league.
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: Does he maybe allow you to do a little bit
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: more with not that Quait was an experienced guy because
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: all that Sire's done, is that going to allow you
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: to do a little bit more with Cooper?
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I would think like right now, we're just we're all
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: focused on learning a new system and there's a natural
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: evolution I would say, in our game every year with
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: an idea of what you think it's going to look
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: like and where it goes to. I think we're kind
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: of working through that process right now.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: I have talked about how he had wanted to get
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Zayer for a while. What have your interactions been like with.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Any really positive I think from day one, just when
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: we got him, sitting down with him and trying to
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: get to know the guy. But it's not a secret
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: as to why he's had so much success.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: I mean you can see it just his.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Approach when he enters the building, how engaged he is
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: in meetings, and then the guy loves to practice, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: you can't have enough of those guys you need to get.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: You know, Isaiah extended to because we talk so much
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: about Cooper in front of everything, but having.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Him, Yeah, McDuffie's a glue guy.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, he is the epitome of what we want
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: everybody to be in this program. I mean, he's from
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: day one, he loves football, he's a great teammate, and
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: I just think it speaks to his character so to
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: you know, you just can't have enough guys like that.
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: Now, what do you think sky Moore can potentially bring
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: to your team this year?
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you saw a little bit of flashes yesterday.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: And granted we're still early in the process, but certainly
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: he's proven as a returner. But I do think there's
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: more out there for him on the offensive side of
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: the ball.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: So we'll see where it goes.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: Looks like you had a lot of cat mouse at
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: the line of scrimmae yesterday, right off the bat, with
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: Jordan making calls and switching plays and whatever. How did
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: you think the offense reacted to some of the pressure
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: looks they're dropping out, they're coming.
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: Did they take up where they.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Left off off? Yeah?
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: I think there was a lot of learning that transpired
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: over the course of the offseason.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: I think JG does such a great job of giving you.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: We talked about it today, just some of the disguises,
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: like you can't tell are they coming and they're not coming,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: and that's only going to get amped up the further
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: we move along into training camp. I mean, obviously day one,
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: you're you've got a very limited menu that'll that'll pick
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: up today, and as we transition some of those you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: past situations, some of those.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Looks can get pretty exotic.
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: You need to do a little bit more of that
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: since you open again floor us.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: You can't get enough of it when you're going against
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: a guy like that that is going to can throw
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: anything at you. So yeah, I definitely think that that'll
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: help us. You know, early on in the season.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: You have a long snapper today.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Excuse me, we have a long snapper today. I know
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: that we're working out some guys.
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: Matt Toucher crafts the grove of the players been obvious,
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: but he also seems like he's become a really confident
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: guy without also being kind of a you know, jerk
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: about it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: What did you want to say, Rob, You should have
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: just said it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: You know, if this was but the evolution of him
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: as a sort of a leader and a confident guy
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: in that room, where do you think that goes from it?
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: I don't even have to see that. Yeah, I think just.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: I think it comes from the work that he puts
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: in and he I think I said it yesterday, he
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: doesn't shy away from the work, and I think, you know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: just over time he's he's got more comfortable, I think,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: and is matured. And there's a reason he was voted
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: to captain last year, and because everybody sees it what
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: he does, how he treats others in the building. You know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: he's right along the lines of Isaiah McDuffie.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: What do you think passed by drones, jess fam What
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: do you think ultimately in the long run, with some development,
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: you might be able to get there?
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Ah?
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Well, it was an extremely athletic play to escape the pocket,
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: and I mean he threw a dime right there in
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: the back corner of the end zone to Isaiah and
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Ayer who made a great catch.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: But you know, I think he he's got a big
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: learning curve in front of him.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: So I don't want to I don't want to put
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: it too far out there. Certainly he's a talented guy,
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: but he's he's going to have to prove it every day.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: They took a lot of the first team reps yesterday.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: What have you seen from him that you like a lot.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: He's first of all, the skill set. I think we
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: can all see that.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: But he's a guy that's hungry for For a young guy,
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: he's a pretty mature, mature kid. But yeah, he loves football,
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: that's the best way to put it. And he's going
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: to get better and better and better the more reps
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: he gets.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: Kishawn Nixon has grown this offseason now having a full
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: year under his belt at outside corner.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's He's played some really good football for us,
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: So it'll be it'll be great to get him back
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: out there today, having.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: Someone like that back in the room today, out there
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: on the field rather than.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Just being on He's got a ton of experience and
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: belt and certainly knows how we want to do things
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: around here, and so excited to see him out there
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: competing today.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: So you're learning a new defense.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: You've obviously had experience with that a couple of other
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: times in your tenure. How do you streamline the process
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: or accelerate the process or is that it just takes
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: the time it takes?
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say it just takes reps, just like
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: anything else in life.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And you know it's there. There's a lot of learning
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: But I thought our guys did a really nice job
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: from a coaching standpoint, and the players were receptive to
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: it in terms of just the foundation we laid in
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: the off season.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: I think that's one of the key benefits to an.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Offseason program, is to just so that it's not the
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: first time they're hearing when they come to training camp.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: Saveon Williams playing in the receiver room this season.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: He's going to compete to get as many reps as
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: he can. I thought he had a good first day,
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: but you know, you got to you gotta do it consistently. Certainly,
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: he's a guy that we are high on coming out
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: in the draft. I thought he had some flashes last
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: year of some some really key and big plays, most
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: notably in that Giant's game, he caught a huge third
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: down jump ball type situation.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: So it's fun. It's gonna be fun to see his
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: growth throughout the course of the preseason.
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: Guys, you will try to develop on the offensive line
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: at one position, and I'm talking about backup.
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: So I know you have your five and the play there.
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: Do you want to still just shuffle them around like crazy?
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: I don't think you ever want that, but it's just
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: the nature of it. And certainly, if you're not entrenched
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: in one of those starting roles, the more you can
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: do it makes you more valuable. So I would say
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: it's going to be pretty fluid in regards to how
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: we rotate those guys along the front. Yeah, dependent upon
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: what each guy can handle during the practice.
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: Is when the parents are not what are you looking
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: for from the head dresher groom because you evaluate.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: Their plan to working edge, not to go through the
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: offensive lineman. I mean, that's been some lengthy discussions. There's
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: been a lot of examples shown, and I get it,
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: it's football stuff happens, but we don't want to see
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: any bull rush out there. It's just hard to do
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: when you don't have pads on. And there were a
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: couple instances yesterday where guys were in that position, but
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I thought they did a good job of that point
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: and sort of just continuing to drive the offensive line
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: into the lap of the quarterback they pulled off, and
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: that's that's kind of what we're looking for.
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: I know that you do extensive research into who you
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: want as your defensive coordinator, but what do you think
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: is most surprised you about this time with Gannon that
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: maybe you didn't realize during the hiring.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Profit I wouldn't say anything surprised me. I mean, I
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: had a pretty good idea of the man we were
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: getting when we got him. But he's got, he's got.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: He understands football. He understands offensive football, which I think
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: is I mean, it's imperative when you're in one of
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: those roles, you better know the other side of the ball.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: And he understands the importance of trying to give similar
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: looks and have different things off of that. So I
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: think he does a great job. He's a great communicator.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: He holds these guys to a high standard. Now it's
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: it's the tapes.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: The tape, it is what it is, and yeah, he's
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: not afraid to just hold it to that. Caps have
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: a new look to them this year. Is there any
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: new sites behind it? Do you like the way they
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: look better than I do?
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: That's that's none of my concern, not to like dismiss
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: your question, but like that's the least of my worries.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Hacker's coach Matt Lafleur doesn't care about the Guardian Caps
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: and how they look.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Player safety is great, but I don't care how it looks. Doesn't.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: That's that's not that's amaze. Some good stuff in there.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: We had a development that well, first of all, Matt
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Lafleur will have a fresh press conference coming up in
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: about five hours, yes, and four hours probably, and he'll
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: have to address a transaction the Packers made that Our
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: buddy Bill Huber reported that no one else has really
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: picked up and it's a bit of a what we're
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: going to talk about that quickly when we get back.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Bill Schmid's going to be dropping on in on his
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: way up to Lambeau for a day three of Packers'
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: practices on the field. Practice are averaging about hour and
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: a half hour forty five something. Yeah, nudging up on
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: two hours. So if you're going up there, have a
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: great day.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Later this afternoon to be a great day to
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: watch some ball early exactly a Friday. Friday hits different.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: So we'll discuss that and we'll continue to take your
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the Brewers and the trade deadline that's approaching.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: You are in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and Hunter tag team in the huddle on a Friday
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: in the good land eight seven seven seven nine four
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: three gets you to the nicolay Low dot com talking
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: text line. This portion of the program brought to you
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: by Game Day Men's Health. Check them out of Game
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Day Men'shealth dot com, make an appointment, get your life change,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: go to game Day Men's Health dot Com mentioned Packer's
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: in need of a long snapper. Our buddy Bill Huro
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: with Matt Orzik injured. Our buddy Bill Huber reported that
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they have signed one one of the guys that they
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: worked out yesterday. Matt Lafleur addressed it and he said, Uh, yeah,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: we'll work some guys out. We're working on that because
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: they haven't been able to practice the kicking game yet.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Trace Mack hasn't been able to swing his leg. But
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: they released Lucas have resek the franchise record holder for
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: it with a sixty one yard field goal at Arizona
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: last year. And they signed Lenny Krieg the German guy,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: although he's not their international pathway player. Because Lenny Kreig
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: is they have a tight end from Australia in Utah
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Thomas Yasmine, so they have him. But apparently in order
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to bring this snap, Ron yesterday they released Lenny Craig.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: That's what Bill Huber is reporting.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody else has picked that up yet, but as the
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Kicking Game turns, so there was a competition. We gotta
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: have competition, and halfrsex not in it. But we got
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: competition for Trace Mac.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: No, maybe not. We don't what the hell is going
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: on with the Kicking Game? Wild?
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't have thought that they would get
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: rid of him as soon as they did.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're just trying to They're hoping that he gets
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: like they can stash him and put him back on.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: But he's not the Pathways player because they had the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: other guy for that. They only have so many roster spots,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I know, but it's just wild. After they made a
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: big deal about, you know, acquiring this guy and giving
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: him a chance. Yeah, Goody talked about it. Yeah, And
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: they were hoping maybe that he's a practice squad guy.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: So we'll see.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe they will dub him the.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Practice squad or the Pathway player eventually. I don't know, maybe,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: but wow, So now Smack is uh the only kicker
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: that's I I mean, it's fine, like, just give this
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: guy the job and just let him do what he
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: needs to do.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, obviously competition is great and
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: all that, but this guy's going to be your kicker.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: You drafted him. Let's just see what happens in training
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: camp or six. Injuries not considered long term. So probably
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: as soon as he's healthy, they can get rid of
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the other long snapper and they're bring the kid back.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But you got to expose him, I guess, And I
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. Most teams are probably have enough kickers in camp.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I would think so, but I don't know. They're always
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: looking for competition in different teams, always, always, and it's just, uh,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: that was just a bizarre transaction given what we were
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: told yesterday and the way things have been laying out.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: In any event, transactions are what we're talking about, potential
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: hypothetical dream scenarios, the Brewers and the trade deadline. We'll
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: continue to talk about that. Take your thoughts. Eight seven
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: seven seven nine three. Billy Schmid's going to join the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: party here on his way up to lambeau Field. Ray Nitchkifield,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I should say, for day three of Packers' training camp,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: we've got we've got other surprises for you as well.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: We got to oh yeah.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: We got our daily features to work through and will
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: have some fun because it's, like we said, everything hits different.
