- 1:39Speaker 7: everywhere in the iHeart apps, streaming live, Facebook x and
- 1:42Speaker 7: YouTube for all your early risers, insomniacs, sociopaths standing outside
- 1:46Speaker 7: the health club waiting for him to open at five o'clock.
- 1:49Speaker 7: Welcome in, and gentlemen, this is supposed to be low
- 1:53Speaker 7: tide in the sports calendar, and lo and behold it
- 1:55Speaker 7: is not our red hot Brewers took one from the Cardinals,
- 1:58Speaker 7: winning a game and a serious another shutout, another pitching
- 2:01Speaker 7: gem marred by Abner Rebo Rebe doing the triple crotch chop.
- 2:06Speaker 6: And we got two words for you, Saint Louis, whoa.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Not much better, not much to fire me up. Better
- 2:17Speaker 2: than that one.
- 2:17Speaker 8: All that phenomenal you imagined that pitch got turned overturned,
- 2:22Speaker 8: that's what they could think of. That's gonna be awkward.
- 2:25Speaker 8: But then again, in his mind, he's probably not gonna
- 2:28Speaker 8: do it twice.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So then Abner.
- 2:31Speaker 7: Then afterwards, after the triple crouch chop, he goes ahead
- 2:35Speaker 7: and apologize to everybody except the Cardinals. Except the Cardinals,
- 2:38Speaker 7: and it proceeds to say that Ali Marmaal was making
- 2:40Speaker 7: gestures about hitting key members of the Brewers offense and
- 2:44Speaker 7: that's what he took umbrage to.
- 2:45Speaker 2: But I'm not going to talk about that. I'm not
- 2:47Speaker 2: here that part of that.
- 2:48Speaker 7: And uh, that's a layer that well, Okay, I know
- 2:51Speaker 7: there's a lot of greaseball stuff and when you're watching
- 2:54Speaker 7: a game. I always said that, you know, I was
- 2:56Speaker 7: a trained observer and I knew like thirty percent of
- 2:59Speaker 7: what was happening on the field and the rest of it.
- 3:01Speaker 7: Sometimes sometimes stuff goes back.
- 3:03Speaker 2: To a ball.
- 3:04Speaker 7: Sometimes stuff with the rivalry run it just okay. Sometimes yeah,
- 3:10Speaker 7: guys will celebrate a home run. It's like, oh, that's
- 3:12Speaker 7: because he hit me in a ball, Like, oh, really
- 3:14Speaker 7: remember that one? Okay, five years ago he hit me
- 3:16Speaker 7: so that I had to celebrate that home run. Okay,
- 3:19Speaker 7: the game within the game, if you will, So that happens.
- 3:22Speaker 7: And then we get the Josh Jacobs thing rocking the
- 3:24Speaker 7: good ship Green Bay Packers as they're heading into OTAs
- 3:28Speaker 7: in the offseason. And given the given the multitude and
- 3:33Speaker 7: the severity of the Chargers against Josh Jacobs, he can't
- 3:37Speaker 7: be flip about it. And you can't say, oh, how's
- 3:40Speaker 7: this going to affect the running backame? And they're gonna
- 3:42Speaker 7: have to make a trade. Can't He can't immediately go
- 3:44Speaker 7: to your fantasy team, right you just in your head
- 3:46Speaker 7: you have to kind of not You also have to again,
- 3:49Speaker 7: it's not of intelligence, keep to competing thoughts in your head.
- 3:51Speaker 7: At the same time, Josh Jacobs deserves the presumption of
- 3:54Speaker 7: innocence just like anybody else. And yet he is in
- 3:57Speaker 7: a very public position, and the league has its bylaws
- 4:01Speaker 7: and contracts have their contasicles, and we don't know what
- 4:05Speaker 7: this means big picture, and we can't know yet, and
- 4:08Speaker 7: it looks lame. And I know people are ripping the
- 4:10Speaker 7: Packers and the NFL for their statements saying we are
- 4:13Speaker 7: aware of the situation. I'm talking about this, But what
- 4:15Speaker 7: else can they say? But it is going, Yeah, it's
- 4:18Speaker 7: you can't say. I don't even know if he's out
- 4:20Speaker 7: of the lock up yet, Like we don't know. I
- 4:22Speaker 7: don't know. The incident happened over the weekend. He surrendered
- 4:26Speaker 7: and was arrested yesterday. He's going to be taking five
- 4:30Speaker 7: charges at this juncture, and I think he might still
- 4:33Speaker 7: be in Brown County tail.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe his arraignment would probably be later on today.
- 4:37Speaker 6: I'm not gonna play lawyer like some people were doing
- 4:39Speaker 6: online yesterdays, but I I from the one felony, four
- 4:45Speaker 6: misdemeanor charges like like you said, Drew, there, they're severe
- 4:49Speaker 6: to the point where you just can't pass it off
- 4:52Speaker 6: to more of a football conversation. Although there is a
- 4:55Speaker 6: football conversation we had with it, a salary cap conversation
- 4:58Speaker 6: that we had about it, and one that I thought
- 4:59Speaker 6: we were maybe to have more about Josh Jacobs during
- 5:01Speaker 6: the offseason. This one would probably spark it up maybe again,
- 5:04Speaker 6: not necessarily post June first, but it is. It's it's
- 5:09Speaker 6: the delicate balance in life, especially you know, I don't
- 5:13Speaker 6: I don't wish it upon anybody. I don't we don't
- 5:15Speaker 6: want this situation to ever happen in any walk of life. However,
- 5:20Speaker 6: like you said, you do deserve at least the your
- 5:24Speaker 6: day in court to to explain the side of the story.
- 5:26Speaker 6: And that was one part that Doug Russell mentioned in
- 5:29Speaker 6: the update that I thought was adding another layer and
- 5:34Speaker 6: probably another couple of months to the story, Like this
- 5:36Speaker 6: isn't something that's just going away. This is going to
- 5:38Speaker 6: be a probably year plus long situation because as Josh
- 5:44Speaker 6: Jacobs lawyer said, they're vehemently denying the charges, so it
- 5:47Speaker 6: should This is not going to go away. However, it's
- 5:49Speaker 6: a morning that you'd hate having because we haven't had
- 5:52Speaker 6: one in a while up in Greenbell.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's a good point, Billy.
- 5:54Speaker 8: I'm just I was trying to think kind of going
- 5:56Speaker 8: back to these types of situations off the field.
- 5:59Speaker 2: You know, guys get in trouble.
- 6:01Speaker 8: It has been a while, and that's usually one thing
- 6:03Speaker 8: we you know, take pride in green Baby and joy
- 6:06Speaker 8: or we, I don't know.
- 6:07Speaker 2: What the right word is.
- 6:07Speaker 8: We kind of celebrate as hey, you know, our guys
- 6:09Speaker 8: are usually not in trouble. Obviously a terrible situation. A
- 6:12Speaker 8: way to look at it and Yeah, you brought up
- 6:14Speaker 8: the point, and it's true. Obviously we'll get due process.
- 6:18Speaker 8: His lawyer's urging restraint. All that is true, and he
- 6:21Speaker 8: will get it. However, you get it from the legal system,
- 6:24Speaker 8: you don't get it from the court of public opinion. Unfortunately,
- 6:26Speaker 8: that's the reality of this world, the reality of the
- 6:29Speaker 8: privilege of playing in the NFL, and you don't necessarily
- 6:31Speaker 8: get it the privilege of playing that job. Right, So
- 6:34Speaker 8: both of those things are are not promised to anybody,
- 6:38Speaker 8: and the court of public opinion surely is going to
- 6:41Speaker 8: run with this one as well. A lot we don't
- 6:42Speaker 8: know about the case, and to your point, guys, a
- 6:45Speaker 8: lot we might not know for a while. But the
- 6:48Speaker 8: football conversation, although it's obviously secondary in terms of importance
- 6:52Speaker 8: in the grand scheme of things, it's one that most
- 6:55Speaker 8: people are gonna worry about and care about and think
- 6:57Speaker 8: about in this situation. But those questions, I'm sure we'll
- 7:01Speaker 8: get answer in due time. But just a terrible situation,
- 7:03Speaker 8: terrible news to see. And I'll be honest with you,
- 7:06Speaker 8: and maybe I gotta have to be careful saying this
- 7:08Speaker 8: because just by the nature of saying it means I'm
- 7:11Speaker 8: passing judgment. It's a guy I probably least expected to
- 7:14Speaker 8: be in trouble, the way, the way he kind of
- 7:17Speaker 8: seemed as a leader, as that type of guy, the
- 7:19Speaker 8: way he he went about with him down at the
- 7:22Speaker 8: Super Bowl.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I'll be it short.
- 7:24Speaker 8: Obviously we don't know him based on that, but it
- 7:26Speaker 8: was a good interaction.
- 7:28Speaker 2: The business.
- 7:29Speaker 8: It seemed like he was about, at least on the field,
- 7:31Speaker 8: the leadership he showed in the locker room, I'll be
- 7:33Speaker 8: honest with you, is one of the last guys I
- 7:35Speaker 8: expected to be in trouble with this type of situation.
- 7:38Speaker 8: So we'll have to see what comes next. But a
- 7:40Speaker 8: lot of a lot of murky waters, for sure.
- 7:42Speaker 7: You can say that. But again it's just you know,
- 7:46Speaker 7: whenever he was a quiet man. I never would have
- 7:50Speaker 7: expected that you can live next to how well do
- 7:51Speaker 7: you know somebody?
- 7:52Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 7:53Speaker 7: But again, five counts, strangulation being the heaviest one.
- 7:59Speaker 2: That's that's the one, that's the one fellony.
- 8:01Speaker 7: The other I mean a criminal damage to property, Okay,
- 8:04Speaker 7: I mean did he break his own property to break
- 8:06Speaker 7: somebody else's?
- 8:07Speaker 2: Like, what was he doing? The public?
- 8:09Speaker 8: Was this?
- 8:10Speaker 7: We don't know that that's just that we don't know
- 8:11Speaker 7: the details, and you rushed to fill in the gaps.
- 8:14Speaker 7: But the thing is like, yeah, there's there's a couple
- 8:17Speaker 7: of things to play here. You don't really know. These
- 8:19Speaker 7: as seem like a good guy, but then there are
- 8:21Speaker 7: some people that seem like jerks in the media that
- 8:23Speaker 7: are actually good.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Guys that are well regarded. Yeah, well, well said.
- 8:26Speaker 7: You know, so there's a lot we don't know. You
- 8:29Speaker 7: can't pretend to know. We you know, you tend to
- 8:31Speaker 7: know because you watch them and spend so much time,
- 8:34Speaker 7: you know, invested in their exploits that you feel like
- 8:37Speaker 7: you develop an association, but you don't really know. And
- 8:40Speaker 7: then again, packers are business. What does it say, like
- 8:44Speaker 7: he I, he totally deserves the presumption of innocence, as
- 8:48Speaker 7: does everybody in our legal system, the foundation of our
- 8:51Speaker 7: legal system. But at the same time, packers are running
- 8:53Speaker 7: a business here, and if this guy's going to be suspended,
- 8:56Speaker 7: they have to make contingencies.
- 8:58Speaker 2: They have to do, you know, they they have to
- 9:00Speaker 2: do their due diligence.
- 9:01Speaker 7: Well we gotta add somebody start looking around, like, you know, hey,
- 9:05Speaker 7: that braylen All would be a good fit.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Coming back to Wisconsin.
- 9:08Speaker 7: Now that they signed Breeze All Hey, that Jonathan Taylor,
- 9:10Speaker 7: they tried to get him a couple of years ago.
- 9:12Speaker 2: He's got Wisconsin Ties.
- 9:13Speaker 7: Good player the start, you have to start looking around
- 9:16Speaker 7: and thinking about that. In the they have to cover
- 9:19Speaker 7: their bases too well.
- 9:20Speaker 6: And luckily, luckily for the Packers, there's a number of
- 9:22Speaker 6: different free agent running backs they're still hanging out there
- 9:25Speaker 6: of guys that are our name name brands, albeit older
- 9:29Speaker 6: name brands, Guys that you don't necessarily know where their
- 9:32Speaker 6: productivity is at this point. But there's I would assume
- 9:36Speaker 6: Drew going into the draft. I thought backup running back
- 9:40Speaker 6: was one of their sneakier big needs and and this
- 9:43Speaker 6: year's draft didn't necessarily bode well for a team that
- 9:46Speaker 6: was looking to add a second running back with only
- 9:49Speaker 6: seven draft picks there or six draft picks after you
- 9:52Speaker 6: trade a couple to continually move up, so it just
- 9:55Speaker 6: wasn't necessarily in the cards this year. We still are
- 9:59Speaker 6: waiting to see if there's anything coming back from Marshawn Lloyd,
- 10:01Speaker 6: but Najie Harris is out there. There's Austin Eckler who
- 10:04Speaker 6: would be available. Skeletal remains of Nick Chubb would be available,
- 10:08Speaker 6: So like there's it's an interesting one. But when when
- 10:11Speaker 6: you start looking at like a trade market, it's post
- 10:13Speaker 6: June first that everybody looks at for potential deals on
- 10:16Speaker 6: on cap savings. I don't believe Jacob's potential cap savings
- 10:20Speaker 6: would be a massive situation this year post June first.
- 10:24Speaker 6: It would be more of one next year. But there's
- 10:28Speaker 6: also this league's built on second chances and and there's
- 10:32Speaker 6: a number of different situations that you could point to.
- 10:35Speaker 6: Last year, I believe a strangulation charge was one of
- 10:39Speaker 6: the ones that initially was brought against Stefon Diggs. He
- 10:42Speaker 6: played all last year thousand nared receiver, there was no
- 10:45Speaker 6: issue with and also ultimately went to the Super Bowl.
- 10:47Speaker 6: So like it again, that sounds really really harsh and
- 10:50Speaker 6: brash and not not what the biggest part of the
- 10:54Speaker 6: conversation would be about at this moment. But when you
- 10:56Speaker 6: flip into football, the NFL is built on second chances.
- 11:02Speaker 6: Green Bay, though, has been one of those businesses. Drew
- 11:05Speaker 6: doesn't always doesn't always.
- 11:10Speaker 2: To be the team that gives the second chance.
- 11:12Speaker 6: They'll say, you know what we do understand and maybe
- 11:14Speaker 6: somebody else will end up right, It's true.
- 11:17Speaker 7: You know, and the Packers have done a pretty amazing
- 11:20Speaker 7: job of staying out of the police blodder. The last
- 11:22Speaker 7: thing I can remember, like the last you know, somewhat
- 11:26Speaker 7: even the headline was Zadarius Smith getting a speeding ticket
- 11:28Speaker 7: and having gone him on a little run.
- 11:31Speaker 2: A couple of things wrapped up in the back. Who
- 11:34Speaker 2: else is in the car?
- 11:35Speaker 7: A little bit of herb Yeah, he had a couple
- 11:37Speaker 7: of he had a couple of teammates in the car.
- 11:39Speaker 2: He was speeding and stuff. I think I remember her, Yeah,
- 11:42Speaker 2: Johnny jolly.
- 11:43Speaker 6: Was It seems like a long time, long time ago,
- 11:45Speaker 6: same shields, long time league, the.
- 11:47Speaker 7: League, police, bottery or you're right, Stephan Stefan Diggs and
- 11:50Speaker 7: or she Rice and.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Like you know, there's a lot of a lot of guys,
- 11:53Speaker 2: like a.
- 11:53Speaker 7: Lot of headlines in the league, and the Packers have
- 11:55Speaker 7: done a good job avoiding that. Some people think it's
- 11:57Speaker 7: because they're in this bucolic small town and and iron
- 12:00Speaker 7: meant where it's all football and everybody supports the community.
- 12:04Speaker 7: And some people say, well it's probably stuff has happened,
- 12:06Speaker 7: but Green Bay would look the other way and the cops,
- 12:08Speaker 7: but no, that's as we see that thing that happens anymore,
- 12:11Speaker 7: that's really how it happens anymore. But yeah, so on
- 12:16Speaker 7: the one hand, you have to think about we don't
- 12:18Speaker 7: know enough facts, but you're some people might be saying, well,
- 12:21Speaker 7: I hope he can play for the packers. Other people
- 12:23Speaker 7: will say cut him immediately.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure, he just don't.
- 12:26Speaker 7: I don't think you have to have that immediate take, like,
- 12:29Speaker 7: I don't know what. Let's just find out more facts
- 12:31Speaker 7: before we jump into a decision, Like there are people
- 12:34Speaker 7: that are gonna crack microphones and that's time. I got
- 12:36Speaker 7: gotta get rid of them, Gotta move on, can't can't
- 12:38Speaker 7: have that, got to carry the g And the packers
- 12:40Speaker 7: may end up doing that, but I don't know at
- 12:43Speaker 7: this point. And I think they'll give him every benefit
- 12:45Speaker 7: of the doubt that he deserves.
- 12:47Speaker 6: Well, and that's why and Drew, like you said it,
- 12:49Speaker 6: some people will be very quick to judge and rip
- 12:52Speaker 6: the packers for the statement yesterday, but that's kind of
- 12:55Speaker 6: what you have to do at this point. You need
- 12:58Speaker 6: to let the facts play out. You need to look
- 12:59Speaker 6: the legal system play out. And Matt Lafleur, welcome, Welcome
- 13:02Speaker 6: back to the show to handle eleven twenty five, right
- 13:06Speaker 6: back in front of the stanchion out there at the
- 13:08Speaker 6: John Hudson Center. He walks right into his first availability
- 13:12Speaker 6: time to start talking.
- 13:13Speaker 7: PR one on one is just like, all right, we're
- 13:15Speaker 7: aware of a situation with Josh. I don't really have
- 13:18Speaker 7: any comment. We're doing our investigation, the police are doing
- 13:20Speaker 7: their investigation.
- 13:22Speaker 2: We don't have enough facts. Leave it at that and
- 13:23Speaker 2: that's all.
- 13:24Speaker 7: And I can't answer any questions like until we have
- 13:26Speaker 7: more information, and then.
- 13:27Speaker 2: About how many more questions get out.
- 13:30Speaker 7: You starting un drafted free agency looking look dip in
- 13:33Speaker 7: a free agency.
- 13:34Speaker 2: It's like, I can't. I don't know. I don't know
- 13:36Speaker 2: at this point because as.
- 13:37Speaker 8: As kraz is, the football side of it may seem
- 13:40Speaker 8: the reality is gooty and those guys have to do
- 13:42Speaker 8: their duty and thinking about that that that that's that's
- 13:45Speaker 8: their job and their duty if.
- 13:46Speaker 7: They don't, you know, most contracts have a morals clause
- 13:49Speaker 7: and like they have this kind of thing.
- 13:52Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's a lot of ways that can that
- 13:55Speaker 6: would be able to move around, you would assume. But again,
- 13:58Speaker 6: if they did cut him, he would carry a dead
- 14:00Speaker 6: cap hit this year after June first about three point
- 14:03Speaker 6: one million dollars.
- 14:04Speaker 2: It would free up some cap space in a.
- 14:05Speaker 6: Post June first cut, but then again, I don't necessarily
- 14:08Speaker 6: know what exactly you'd be spending that money on. So
- 14:10Speaker 6: it's it's a it's a very very dicey situation and
- 14:14Speaker 6: one that uh yeah it twenty fifteen was the Latroit
- 14:17Speaker 6: guy on situation. It's been a long time since that,
- 14:21Speaker 6: and generally speaking, Drew Memorial Day weekend not as big
- 14:25Speaker 6: as the police blotder season, right that A lot more
- 14:27Speaker 6: time has happened.
- 14:28Speaker 2: July fourth weekend is a lot more of that time
- 14:30Speaker 2: when everybody's gone.
- 14:31Speaker 6: True that you wait to see, and uh, it's it's
- 14:34Speaker 6: one of those deals that you hate to have to discuss.
- 14:37Speaker 6: But we're sitting here this morning and it's one of
- 14:39Speaker 6: the one of the captains of the Green Bay Packers.
- 14:41Speaker 2: That's a hell of a story. All right.
- 14:42Speaker 7: What if take the Josh Jacobs thing, if it had
- 14:45Speaker 7: not happened, what are the top three questions Laflour would
- 14:49Speaker 7: have been asked today?
- 14:51Speaker 2: Something about, my guess would be something.
- 14:54Speaker 6: About Tucker Craft's availability, Right, how are you going to
- 14:56Speaker 6: start finding ways to maybe get him closer because you
- 14:59Speaker 6: would think resumed Tucker would be the first to return
- 15:02Speaker 6: from the massive injuries, right Craft Craft and or uh
- 15:07Speaker 6: Tom and Parsons happened in the Denver game a couple
- 15:10Speaker 6: of weeks before that is DeVante Wyatt, But just at
- 15:12Speaker 6: the beginning of November was Craft and everything trending towards
- 15:15Speaker 6: that he would be closer to being able to return,
- 15:18Speaker 6: uh and sooner rather than later. And then maybe one
- 15:22Speaker 6: or two really really random off the wall like Jonathan
- 15:26Speaker 6: Gannon or Cam Anchord questions, I'm wanting to see how
- 15:30Speaker 6: how they're going, and how are are you expecting Cam
- 15:33Speaker 6: and Jonathan to be adapting and working with the guys
- 15:35Speaker 6: on the field here today, now that now that you're
- 15:37Speaker 6: on the grass, now that you're on the grass with
- 15:39Speaker 6: the entire team, what are you excited to see from
- 15:41Speaker 6: those guys? Something really really random that frankly, I don't
- 15:44Speaker 6: even know that he would have had an answer for.
- 15:46Speaker 8: Yeah, And then probably something about that, did you get
- 15:48Speaker 8: Jordan and Imroonica baby gift?
- 15:50Speaker 2: Yet? You know, one of those type of questions, how
- 15:52Speaker 2: was the beer at the Luke Holms guy?
- 15:53Speaker 8: Yeah, something like that, you know, something fun for that
- 15:55Speaker 8: maybe you know, have you talked to your brother yet?
- 15:57Speaker 2: What's it like both? Being head coach is one of those.
- 16:00Speaker 2: So I think those are the been questions.
- 16:02Speaker 8: But I think the injury questions would be the one
- 16:04Speaker 8: that that would have been, like Billy said Tucker. And
- 16:06Speaker 8: then obviously one's wondering about Micah, although I think most
- 16:09Speaker 8: people assume Michael will be.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Taking the first four games up. But we'll see.
- 16:12Speaker 8: We don't know, you know, we don't hope, so you'll
- 16:15Speaker 8: be interesting though today I thinks have changed, that's for sure.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Things have definitely changed.
- 16:20Speaker 7: Yeah, there would have been a Jordan Morgan left tackle
- 16:22Speaker 7: question or two, how do you get Matthew Golden and
- 16:25Speaker 7: you know, excited to.
- 16:26Speaker 6: See marsh On Lloyd back on the field. Well, the
- 16:28Speaker 6: marsh On Lloyd on was definitely happening.
- 16:30Speaker 8: Now. Now, I mean, if there's a year for you
- 16:33Speaker 8: to stay healthy, Marshawn, this is the would be we
- 16:36Speaker 8: need you, buddy, come on, let's go.
- 16:38Speaker 7: This would be it eight seven seven seven nine three
- 16:41Speaker 7: gets you into Nicola lot dot com. I'm talking text
- 16:43Speaker 7: line and again, uh, sports reflect life and if this
- 16:47Speaker 7: is indeed as it would appear like, if this is
- 16:50Speaker 7: this has the the.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Sheen of a domestic violence thing.
- 16:53Speaker 7: That's a problem society, not just sports, not just athletes.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Thank you for across the board.
- 16:59Speaker 7: And it should never be like discounted or poo pooed
- 17:01Speaker 7: in any way obviously. But again it's just this is
- 17:05Speaker 7: magnified because it's a public figure, it's a team that
- 17:08Speaker 7: we follow, and I get it, and it does it
- 17:11Speaker 7: seems it does in some ways feel gross to say, well,
- 17:14Speaker 7: what are the packer's gonna do running back? But that's
- 17:16Speaker 7: the reality of the businesses. Like you said, we're running
- 17:18Speaker 7: a business here, they're running a business here like that.
- 17:20Speaker 7: That's the reality of it. There's nothing you know, we
- 17:25Speaker 7: if we it's like, oh, we should abstain from having
- 17:27Speaker 7: conversations about what they could possibly do. They're having those
- 17:30Speaker 7: count they have to have those conversations. Yeah, that's what
- 17:33Speaker 7: you know. It's what we do with these uh, And
- 17:36Speaker 7: it's I mean, we try to project the cuts, We
- 17:40Speaker 7: try to think about what we try to inject ourselves
- 17:42Speaker 7: and try to imagine ourselves in their offices, in their meetings,
- 17:46Speaker 7: like and that's kind of what we're doing. And I'm
- 17:48Speaker 7: a situation like this, and I know it seems crash.
- 17:50Speaker 7: But it is what it is.
- 17:51Speaker 6: It's what it is, and Drew, Frankly, I'm a lot
- 17:54Speaker 6: better at doing this than than projecting onto the other side,
- 17:56Speaker 6: right Like, at least at least if I'm starting to
- 17:58Speaker 6: find the football part of the conversation, I think I'm
- 18:01Speaker 6: a lot more adapt to start talking about that than
- 18:03Speaker 6: with the legal proceedings would transquire and the different the
- 18:06Speaker 6: different levels that you go through and the timing and
- 18:09Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. All we know is that
- 18:10Speaker 6: he'll he'll have his first day in court probably today
- 18:14Speaker 6: on the arraignment, and then we'll start seeing how the
- 18:16Speaker 6: process rolls.
- 18:17Speaker 2: And Uh.
- 18:18Speaker 6: The other thing for the football side is, generally speaking,
- 18:21Speaker 6: NFL doesn't levy something like this or a suspension down
- 18:25Speaker 6: for something like this until there's video or a conviction.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Video or a conviction.
- 18:30Speaker 6: Those are the two things that a lot of times happen,
- 18:33Speaker 6: and we've seen it. The NFL, though, has a big
- 18:36Speaker 6: time heavy hand when with stuff like this, rightfully, So, yeah, and.
- 18:39Speaker 8: We've all we've also seen really quick guys a lot
- 18:41Speaker 8: of times when reacting initially and rapidly doesn't always go well.
- 18:46Speaker 8: So that's why, as much as that's a human instinct
- 18:48Speaker 8: that we all have is to react that way, and
- 18:50Speaker 8: people will say make the move.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Now you have to. You have to give it a
- 18:53Speaker 2: little time and see what's to come. So you have to,
- 18:55Speaker 2: you know, you have to.
- 18:56Speaker 7: And it's again, you don't want to sound callous because
- 18:59Speaker 7: everything's different, but when a guy like blows out as ACL,
- 19:02Speaker 7: you start looking around the league, well how long how
- 19:03Speaker 7: quickly did other guys come back? Now you start to go, well,
- 19:06Speaker 7: what happened to other guys in similar situations that ran
- 19:09Speaker 7: a foul of the law. So yeah, it's interesting times.
- 19:13Speaker 7: Like again, sports and society, Like people say, other sports
- 19:17Speaker 7: is where I go for my refuge.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Well, here's a crime story. Here's where it.
- 19:21Speaker 7: Will Levis is going through it with a social media
- 19:23Speaker 7: with some leaked video, and that's so mad said that,
- 19:27Speaker 7: and that is you know again, sports, you can you
- 19:30Speaker 7: can try to separate it and make sports my oasis.
- 19:32Speaker 7: But life always in truths because sports is a part
- 19:36Speaker 7: of the fabric of society. Sports reflects society. Problems in
- 19:39Speaker 7: society are also problems in sports, period. And they're real
- 19:42Speaker 7: human beings in there, exactly. They're human beings, real living,
- 19:45Speaker 7: breathing beings. And again we'll take your thoughts. Would try
- 19:51Speaker 7: to have and it's so hard to do in this era,
- 19:53Speaker 7: like a nuanced and kind of like reserved discussion about.
- 19:57Speaker 2: It, because you know, we like to talk about character.
- 20:00Speaker 2: It's good, so you have to talk about it.
- 20:01Speaker 6: Yes, good' sure, maybe we are better off to just
- 20:04Speaker 6: talk about the free agent running.
- 20:06Speaker 7: Well, it's either a great job with either the police
- 20:09Speaker 7: blodder Packers or the double triple crotch chop Brewers.
- 20:13Speaker 2: We got a lot to way. Not the first time
- 20:16Speaker 2: we've seen that a round.
- 20:16Speaker 7: We'll get a Hunter Bombguart's recap. We're also Dolph comes
- 20:21Speaker 7: back today and Hunter had occasion to chat with Josh
- 20:24Speaker 7: Mauer about the Uker documentar because we wanted to have
- 20:28Speaker 7: Josh on the show, but we also didn't want to
- 20:29Speaker 7: subject him.
- 20:30Speaker 2: To our hours when they're coming off a night game.
- 20:32Speaker 7: Hunter's got an interview in the bank for us and
- 20:35Speaker 7: we will spin through that with us. So Josh Moer
- 20:37Speaker 7: is going to join the show today. Be a Hunter Bombguart.
- 20:40Speaker 7: We got Dolf, we got Hunter, and we got you
- 20:42Speaker 7: along for the ride. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports
- 20:44Speaker 7: Radio Wisconsin. Jeff Levering bringing us back Brewers TV Brewers six,
- 20:56Speaker 7: Cardinals zero. They've won the series. We'll go for the
- 20:58Speaker 7: sweep this afternoon, twelve forty first pitch an American family field.
- 21:01Speaker 7: We were so busy talking about Abner Gariba and the
- 21:03Speaker 7: triple crotch chop and Josh Jacobs with the five charges
- 21:08Speaker 7: that we didn't get our first hand response, our first
- 21:11Speaker 7: hand report from armand Sarian, producer of the Huddle.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, the ball game was in the house. Great night.
- 21:19Speaker 2: By the way, how was it the first roof open
- 21:21Speaker 2: night game of the season, which is kind of hard
- 21:23Speaker 2: to believe, but I guess it was true. And boy to,
- 21:25Speaker 2: we picked the right one.
- 21:26Speaker 8: I mean, it was absolutely beautiful and the sun was
- 21:28Speaker 8: coming down, the bree started. It was hot but not humid,
- 21:31Speaker 8: so uh just a just a great great night at
- 21:33Speaker 8: the ballpark. Were Yeah, so we couldn't stay all night,
- 21:37Speaker 8: obviously we were up there, so she had a great time.
- 21:40Speaker 8: I was we were up kind of near the the
- 21:43Speaker 8: Tarbasoff situation where they were in the past. But of
- 21:47Speaker 8: course I liked last night that they had flashed in
- 21:50Speaker 8: the scoreboard that anyone wanting to participate in Tarbasoff could
- 21:53Speaker 8: meet in the uh in like the left field deck area,
- 21:56Speaker 8: and I guess do it together. So they're kind of
- 21:59Speaker 8: trying to make it right. I didn't organize it, and
- 22:01Speaker 8: it didn't work like that. No, it didn't really seem
- 22:03Speaker 8: like it did right.
- 22:04Speaker 5: Well.
- 22:04Speaker 6: It's also it's also a fall flawed concepts because I
- 22:08Speaker 6: believe you gotta be twenty one to go on that
- 22:10Speaker 6: Miller light landing.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Right, and a lot of those kids aren't twenty one.
- 22:13Speaker 2: No one hanging out.
- 22:13Speaker 6: There in the turps off sections twenty one. Now, there
- 22:16Speaker 6: might be one or two, but it looked like a
- 22:17Speaker 6: bunch of a fifteen year old.
- 22:18Speaker 2: The turps off thing, I don't know.
- 22:20Speaker 7: It's been going on for years with kids that are
- 22:22Speaker 7: between like six and ten.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Yeah, games for a while.
- 22:26Speaker 6: And in college football it got big this year in
- 22:29Speaker 6: college football in a state or where was it was Yeah,
- 22:32Speaker 6: And I mean even even at Camp Randle in the
- 22:34Speaker 6: in the in the snow game against Washington, I believe
- 22:38Speaker 6: it was pretty impressive stuff.
- 22:39Speaker 2: It was a racous group over there, but so it
- 22:43Speaker 2: was hot. Again.
- 22:44Speaker 6: And listen, any kind of communal experience that involves taking
- 22:48Speaker 6: your shirt off, young men are giving me a part of.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Right I had.
- 22:52Speaker 6: That's something that teenage boys are gonna be a part
- 22:54Speaker 6: of if it means that I get to weave my
- 22:56Speaker 6: shirt around.
- 22:56Speaker 8: Yeah, I was thinking about doing it, but I figured
- 22:58Speaker 8: I was a little too old for it. Plus it
- 22:59Speaker 8: was a little early in the game for it. The
- 23:01Speaker 8: closest I came to was when Lennix built her Applesauce
- 23:04Speaker 8: pouch on me my shirt.
- 23:05Speaker 6: Well, it was and and that that was the party.
- 23:07Speaker 6: It was hot lad into the game. When they started
- 23:10Speaker 6: calling out everybody's name and getting getting waves from Bowers
- 23:13Speaker 6: and Renifo and company, that's when you know you're actually
- 23:16Speaker 6: doing it right over there in the tar Yankee. Yeah,
- 23:19Speaker 6: so you hit the whole roll call and get everybody
- 23:21Speaker 6: to tap you up. That's a good shit.
- 23:22Speaker 8: It was just a fun night to be there, a
- 23:24Speaker 8: beautiful night at the ballpark. You know, Harrison did his
- 23:27Speaker 8: thing again, Bowers getting the start off right. Boys, he'd
- 23:29Speaker 8: been amazing. So, uh you know, Brews three and a
- 23:32Speaker 8: half up in the Central. Life is good now right
- 23:34Speaker 8: now for Brewis clubs just can't stop losing. Yeah, amazing.
- 23:39Speaker 8: How about having three ten game streaks two wins when
- 23:42Speaker 8: he wants two losses and it's not even June.
- 23:44Speaker 2: I mean, wow, it's crazy.
- 23:45Speaker 7: Wold what about uh you know the story we might
- 23:47Speaker 7: have been sitting in here if not for the other
- 23:49Speaker 7: things that are happening. Uh talking about Hey Christianello, it's
- 23:52Speaker 7: let off and got three hits.
- 23:55Speaker 6: Yeah balls, I can't say I had that on my
- 23:58Speaker 6: big go card. All of a sudden, I see over
- 24:00Speaker 6: at second page at first base after you know, a
- 24:03Speaker 6: little bit later moment to be able to log onto
- 24:06Speaker 6: the Brewers TV. Wait a second, I was sure, Oh, okay,
- 24:11Speaker 6: all right, mess around with it a little bit and
- 24:13Speaker 6: have some fun. Rarely have they done that when they've
- 24:16Speaker 6: when they've rolled well, or off of him hitting a
- 24:18Speaker 6: bomb the day before.
- 24:19Speaker 2: But however, you mix and match it.
- 24:22Speaker 6: Uh. And maybe that's another sign of Drew just trying
- 24:25Speaker 6: to find more ways to find Terran guys on base.
- 24:28Speaker 6: I don't know all the numbers in the analytics of
- 24:31Speaker 6: this is the best spot to have somebody, that's the
- 24:33Speaker 6: best spot to have somebody. This is where this guy
- 24:35Speaker 6: should be hitting. That's where that guy should be hitting.
- 24:37Speaker 6: This guy leads off more, this guy doesn't. This guy
- 24:40Speaker 6: has more chances with guys on base. All I know
- 24:42Speaker 6: is I let my best hitters to hit early, yeah,
- 24:44Speaker 6: because then you generally might get one more at it.
- 24:46Speaker 7: I want them in some kind of cluster, your three
- 24:48Speaker 7: or four best hitters in a cluster together. Doesn't really
- 24:51Speaker 7: matter the order that much, but.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Just put the best ones up there. But the best one.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Extra plate appearance is never a bad.
- 24:58Speaker 8: Thing, no, no, traditionally it really a good walk, right obviously,
- 25:01Speaker 8: So just got a good guy to have in general
- 25:03Speaker 8: on there if you want to get a guy in
- 25:04Speaker 8: base on base.
- 25:05Speaker 7: And then the two big flies last night from Bowers
- 25:07Speaker 7: and Mitchell were obviously the turn the tide.
- 25:11Speaker 6: Garrett Mitchell been sitting on that one, he had been
- 25:14Speaker 6: waiting on that one. Goodness great on his weast birthday.
- 25:17Speaker 6: Harrison just shoving again. And you can take him for
- 25:21Speaker 6: granted because he's in the shadow of miz but that
- 25:25Speaker 6: you know, how often to go six strong the way
- 25:28Speaker 6: he did scoreless. You know, he didn't strike out a
- 25:30Speaker 6: lot of guys, didn't walk anybody, didn't give up a
- 25:33Speaker 6: lot of a lot of hits traffic.
- 25:35Speaker 2: That's just a really good.
- 25:37Speaker 7: Start by a young man who's kind of establishing himself.
- 25:40Speaker 7: And it's good that he's kind of in missus shadow.
- 25:42Speaker 7: I think rather than well.
- 25:43Speaker 2: You're the ace. You got to stop the losing streaks.
- 25:45Speaker 2: You gotta do all that. Ninety two pitches and six innings.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Take it.
- 25:48Speaker 6: Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more on that, true,
- 25:50Speaker 6: like be solid, just be you, be you, and and
- 25:53Speaker 6: go out there and ball.
- 25:55Speaker 2: And he is.
- 25:55Speaker 6: He has been as good, if not better than just
- 25:57Speaker 6: about anybody else in ball from that from that left side.
- 26:01Speaker 6: And I mean the whip is maybe the best number
- 26:04Speaker 6: of very similar to last night. It's like, yeah, you
- 26:07Speaker 6: might get one guy on basin inning. You might get
- 26:09Speaker 6: one guy on basin inning because otherwise there's just not
- 26:12Speaker 6: a lot of traffic against him right now.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Yeah, no one past second base.
- 26:15Speaker 8: The nice thing about him is he's a change of
- 26:17Speaker 8: pace from miz and style as well. Obviously flips around left.
- 26:20Speaker 8: He more of a control guy. He can work the
- 26:22Speaker 8: hook in. He he works with what he has in
- 26:25Speaker 8: terms of stuff. That night too, it seems like he
- 26:28Speaker 8: negotiates the lineup, he negotiates hitters. You know, you mentioned
- 26:31Speaker 8: not a lot of strikeouts, but was getting a lot
- 26:33Speaker 8: of ground balls early was pitching the contact. Let the
- 26:36Speaker 8: boys play around him and find a way to get
- 26:37Speaker 8: out of the out of the woods every inning, which
- 26:40Speaker 8: was you know, wasn't He wasn't in a lot of
- 26:41Speaker 8: trouble all night, but he had some guys on but
- 26:44Speaker 8: he got out of it. Didn't have the benefit of
- 26:46Speaker 8: the strikeout, didn't need it. It was one of those like
- 26:47Speaker 8: Mike Caldwell starts drew where he was just had the
- 26:51Speaker 8: ground balls going and and things are working for him.
- 26:53Speaker 8: So Troy casp run the YouTube and Mike Witt both
- 26:56Speaker 8: asking about Garrett Mitchell raking.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks good.
- 26:59Speaker 8: Troy ca asber last ten been raking, Mike Wit don't
- 27:02Speaker 8: look now. Garrett Mitchell coming back around the plate. That
- 27:04Speaker 8: would be a nice thing. That would be a nice
- 27:06Speaker 8: development for the Milwaukee Brewers lineup, that's for sure. If
- 27:08Speaker 8: Garrett Mitchell starts to get it going a little bit.
- 27:11Speaker 8: I know he's sort of a lightning rod for fans,
- 27:12Speaker 8: but the potential is always there, so that would be
- 27:15Speaker 8: pretty good to see. But all in all, good night,
- 27:17Speaker 8: Brewers go for this week today.
- 27:19Speaker 7: Yep twelve forty first pitch today and Harrison again his
- 27:24Speaker 7: exploits being bandied about with CC Sabathia for his ten
- 27:29Speaker 7: start era, which is lower than Sabathia's ina crazy.
- 27:33Speaker 6: And just the change of pace difference. Obviously, Miss with
- 27:37Speaker 6: the extension and the velocity and the heat. But Harrison's
- 27:41Speaker 6: you know cool ninety six has nothing to sneeze at right,
- 27:43Speaker 6: like it's an easy, easy breeze over from the left side.
- 27:47Speaker 6: He seems like he disguises the ball extremely well. And
- 27:51Speaker 6: you just the little counting numbers. Now, some people don't
- 27:54Speaker 6: necessarily love him if you go for Mizerowski and Harrison. Now,
- 27:58Speaker 6: Miss might get one more start coming up on the
- 28:00Speaker 6: thirty first of the month, so these numbers won't be official,
- 28:04Speaker 6: But those two would have combined for fifty nine and
- 28:06Speaker 6: a third innings pitched in the month of May and
- 28:10Speaker 6: combined to give up four earned runs.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Crazy, just in.
- 28:15Speaker 6: That combined of ten starts between the two, the one
- 28:19Speaker 6: in the one month where they have completely flipped the scoreboard,
- 28:22Speaker 6: and another reason why it's going to be a Brewers fan. Yeah,
- 28:24Speaker 6: we mentioned the Cubs can't find their way out of
- 28:26Speaker 6: their ten game losing streak. I love seeing anybody with
- 28:30Speaker 6: the zero and ten in the l ten column in
- 28:32Speaker 6: the standings, and not a whole lot of days where
- 28:35Speaker 6: you get to beat the Saint Louis Cardinals and shut
- 28:37Speaker 6: them down, hit a DX suck at chance, move to
- 28:40Speaker 6: them as well, and watch the Cubs wake up in
- 28:44Speaker 6: the morning in last place.
- 28:45Speaker 2: That's a that's a heck of a Tuesday night in
- 28:48Speaker 2: the good Land. How the turntables turn right, guys. How
- 28:51Speaker 2: the turntable.
- 28:52Speaker 7: Brewers have won Harrison's last seven starts and they're eight
- 28:57Speaker 7: and two with him on the mound this year, And.
- 28:59Speaker 2: That's a right.
- 29:00Speaker 7: Like you know, pitcher wins have been diminished as a
- 29:02Speaker 7: stat and it's not that important anymore, but I always
- 29:05Speaker 7: look at what's the team's record when that guy starts.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Because it's the talk with Miz too.
- 29:10Speaker 7: It's like, well, you know, Miss is becoming that guy
- 29:14Speaker 7: that there's an extra pep in your step going into
- 29:16Speaker 7: the yard because we're gonna win today. We got miss
- 29:19Speaker 7: got to do score one run. We're gonna be all right.
- 29:22Speaker 7: There is a lift that comes with, you know, pitching
- 29:25Speaker 7: and pitching your starting pitching can affect your offense just
- 29:28Speaker 7: by letting guys relax and just it. The mental effect
- 29:31Speaker 7: is real. I don't know if it's chartable by a
- 29:34Speaker 7: stat or but there is something there.
- 29:36Speaker 6: Since the first start that he made in March against
- 29:39Speaker 6: the Rays where they lose three to two, and if
- 29:42Speaker 6: I'm not mistaken, they got come back, came back on
- 29:45Speaker 6: from that game.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Pause.
- 29:46Speaker 6: Uh you you look at them winning all of these
- 29:49Speaker 6: games drew as well as getting a bunch of run support.
- 29:51Speaker 6: Outside of the one loss to Washington, They've scored at
- 29:54Speaker 6: least four runs in every one of his start. He's
- 29:56Speaker 6: not going to give up a ton, so you know
- 29:58Speaker 6: that four runs should probably be enough. But there's a
- 30:01Speaker 6: couple of big time offensive explosions in there. And uh,
- 30:05Speaker 6: Freddy Peralta last year, for as good as the era was,
- 30:08Speaker 6: as polarizing as the innings pitched were, in the pitch
- 30:10Speaker 6: count into individual games, especially at American Family Field, when
- 30:14Speaker 6: he pitched, they won, and and I don't know how
- 30:17Speaker 6: that gets quantified other than what you just said. Belief,
- 30:21Speaker 6: confidence and also like Harrison didn't strike out as many,
- 30:25Speaker 6: kept everybody active back there. I always thought that's probably
- 30:27Speaker 6: the easiest and most fun way to play defense. It's
- 30:30Speaker 6: great watching your guy continually k up dudes, but it
- 30:33Speaker 6: does have to be a little bit difficult to get
- 30:34Speaker 6: yourself into a full rhythm when that's the case. Instead,
- 30:37Speaker 6: Harrison's getting you action throughout the game and getting a
- 30:41Speaker 6: bunch of dudes out. That's a hard thing to pass up.
- 30:43Speaker 2: You got a bunch of dudes out with not a
- 30:44Speaker 2: lot of swing and misses.
- 30:45Speaker 7: No, he said he didn't have his best stuff, right,
- 30:47Speaker 7: he had, yeah, but he also got ahead. And that's
- 30:50Speaker 7: one thing the Brewers have been doing so well is
- 30:52Speaker 7: just getting ahead of hitters. Like I was talking about,
- 30:54Speaker 7: miss like he doesn't go to many three ball counts anymore,
- 30:57Speaker 7: not at all.
- 30:58Speaker 2: No, that's usually the death.
- 30:59Speaker 7: You throw it into a little tea cup there because
- 31:01Speaker 7: he's he doesn't he doesn't mess around, and guys are
- 31:04Speaker 7: guys got to start early. So last night Harrison first
- 31:08Speaker 7: pitch strikes he faced twenty three batters, sixteen strikes, pretty good,
- 31:14Speaker 7: eight ground ball outs I believe.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Pretty good.
- 31:16Speaker 7: And then he also Harrison had yeah, seven ground ball
- 31:20Speaker 7: ten flyout ball outs. In terms of called strikes, he
- 31:23Speaker 7: had sixteen four swings and missus, twenty four foul balls
- 31:27Speaker 7: and twenty one strikes that were put into play. So
- 31:30Speaker 7: that's a you know, he's around the zone, man, Just
- 31:32Speaker 7: bang the zone with good stuff, okay.
- 31:34Speaker 6: Right, is much easy, especially if you don't I don't
- 31:36Speaker 6: have my best stuff here. All right, Well, you got
- 31:38Speaker 6: one of the best defenses in all the ball behind you.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Hit it.
- 31:41Speaker 2: You see what happens. Yeah, yeah, Hamilton had a pretty
- 31:44Speaker 2: good night behind him. He did, he really did, made
- 31:46Speaker 2: the error early and then just made a couple of
- 31:48Speaker 2: big plays.
- 31:49Speaker 6: So, Drew, can you can you fill us in as
- 31:51Speaker 6: the veterans scribe and the longtime membered of the Baseball
- 31:55Speaker 6: Writers Association in America?
- 31:57Speaker 2: Does anybody look at the game score?
- 31:59Speaker 6: Does any body actually like baseball guys know what the
- 32:03Speaker 6: game because I've looked at a number of different times
- 32:06Speaker 6: and it just blew. I have no clue. I know
- 32:08Speaker 6: you calculate it with like, hey, it's almost like the act.
- 32:11Speaker 6: You put your name on your spell it. Right, you
- 32:13Speaker 6: get fourteen points, right, you're gonna get a certain amount
- 32:15Speaker 6: of point. You get fifty points I think for like
- 32:17Speaker 6: making the start. And it's one of my favorite things
- 32:19Speaker 6: that nobody has ever looked over and glossed over in
- 32:22Speaker 6: the world of analytics. I would have thought you'd find
- 32:24Speaker 6: an even better way to compute it, but it's just there.
- 32:28Speaker 6: And uh, however, it rolls him and miss shockingly. So
- 32:32Speaker 6: have a couple of the best game score averages in
- 32:35Speaker 6: all of baseball. Yes, it just means you're you're pitching
- 32:37Speaker 6: deeper into games and not giving up a whole lot of.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Other gift from Bill James. That Bill James and the
- 32:43Speaker 2: god the game score.
- 32:44Speaker 7: Yeah, uh, pictures overall effectiveness in a single game.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Trying to pair it down to those, it.
- 32:50Speaker 7: Goes from zero to one hundred and fifty is average
- 32:53Speaker 7: replacement level performance.
- 32:54Speaker 2: And so that's the formult you start with the baseline.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Start with this is phenomenal.
- 33:00Speaker 7: Start with fifty three points for every out recorded, plus
- 33:04Speaker 7: two points for each inningcompleted after the fourth, plus one
- 33:06Speaker 7: point for every strikeout. And then you lose two points
- 33:09Speaker 7: for a hit aloud, lose four points for each earned
- 33:11Speaker 7: run aloud. You lose two points for each unearned run
- 33:14Speaker 7: aloud in one point for a walk.
- 33:16Speaker 6: It's just and all that sounds like is my is
- 33:18Speaker 6: an online baseball simulation game, which is hilarious.
- 33:22Speaker 7: So fift average eighty is dominant and one hundred would
- 33:27Speaker 7: be you know, complete game, shutout or no bitter or
- 33:29Speaker 7: a perfect game.
- 33:30Speaker 2: So so it's like, okay.
- 33:32Speaker 6: Sounds like the first eighty eighty is dominant. Last time
- 33:34Speaker 6: out against the Cubs. Kyle Harrison's game score eighty three?
- 33:37Speaker 2: Is that dominant?
- 33:39Speaker 1: Good?
- 33:40Speaker 2: All right?
- 33:40Speaker 7: So at the last sixty six, which was not dominant,
- 33:43Speaker 7: but what pretty damn good.
- 33:45Speaker 8: Hard to remember two Brewer starters having a better month together,
- 33:48Speaker 8: although I'm sure it's happening. It's happened like in the
- 33:50Speaker 8: twenty one Yeah, Wood, you know ninety two we had
- 33:55Speaker 8: a lot of gut starters going crazy for a month.
- 33:58Speaker 2: But man, it's hard to get much. I don't know
- 34:00Speaker 2: what they've done.
- 34:00Speaker 6: Maybe not two younger guys doing it like this, I
- 34:03Speaker 6: mean twenty four and twenty here, that might be.
- 34:05Speaker 2: That might be the better caveat for it.
- 34:06Speaker 7: When we come back, we are going to hear from
- 34:09Speaker 7: a young fellow Hunter bomb guard Hiss recap of last
- 34:12Speaker 7: night's proceedings. We're also gonna hear from Hunter later in
- 34:14Speaker 7: the program because he interviewed Josh mauer Fort talking about
- 34:16Speaker 7: the huncre documentary, which is about like two months away
- 34:19Speaker 7: from hitting the theater Marcus Theaters. I think we will
- 34:22Speaker 7: hear Hunter's interview with him. Dolph returns at six thirty
- 34:26Speaker 7: today as well. You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsini.
- 34:34Speaker 6: Is Walker still back bows.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Well, noting Brewers on the eighth ho run of the year, Blie.
- 34:42Speaker 9: Bowers, Rake Bowers with the home run.
- 34:57Speaker 7: Last night, Brewers beats Cardinals six to nothing at American
- 34:59Speaker 7: Family Field with armand Sari and in Family in attendance.
- 35:03Speaker 7: Come on, must have been off segment thirty three thousand
- 35:08Speaker 7: souls at the ballpark last evening, twelve forty first pitch
- 35:11Speaker 7: as Brewis go for the sweep today, off tomorrow and
- 35:13Speaker 7: then on to Houston for a weekend. Serious if I'm
- 35:16Speaker 7: not mistaken.
- 35:17Speaker 6: And just a beautiful night to be able to enjoy
- 35:20Speaker 6: the Cubs losing some good games. Game four in the NHL,
- 35:25Speaker 6: Game five in the and the NBA, and just watching
- 35:29Speaker 6: the Brewers beat the Cardinals is never going to get old.
- 35:32Speaker 6: Like when you did the full comparison drew of the Brewers, Cardinals,
- 35:37Speaker 6: and Cubs with the Packers, Bears and Packers yesterday, Kings Viking.
- 35:42Speaker 6: Sorry I did more of the thoughts of it. I'm like, yeah,
- 35:45Speaker 6: and and the Vikings do kind of beat seem like
- 35:47Speaker 6: the team that just doesn't enjoy anybody. And I imagine
- 35:52Speaker 6: there's a lot of people that don't enjoy Packers fans
- 35:54Speaker 6: because of the same reason why some of it. I
- 35:56Speaker 6: don't like Saint Louis Cardinal fans, Saylois Cardinal fans will
- 35:58Speaker 6: let you know they invented baseball exactly the one. We
- 36:01Speaker 6: know baseball more than anybody else, and we we respect
- 36:05Speaker 6: baseball more than anybody else. So just fall in line, Bob,
- 36:08Speaker 6: and whenever you'd be that they were best fans fans
- 36:11Speaker 6: in baseball. Also, they make nothing better shut them.
- 36:15Speaker 8: They make the rules talk about gatekeeping. I mean, they
- 36:17Speaker 8: make the rules on how you should cheer. While you
- 36:18Speaker 8: should very true, you should look at the game, how
- 36:20Speaker 8: you should approach the game.
- 36:21Speaker 7: I will say this though, they do cheer opponents if
- 36:24Speaker 7: if some guy gets a fifth hit or something like,
- 36:26Speaker 7: they'll give.
- 36:26Speaker 6: The if good nods right like I mean, they just
- 36:29Speaker 6: they will tip their caps just like just like Packers fans.
- 36:32Speaker 6: If somebody trots out, like if Tom Brady in his
- 36:35Speaker 6: final year now maybe before he would have beaten in
- 36:36Speaker 6: the NFC title game, there's a quick little hey, nice,
- 36:40Speaker 6: good good for you, Bob. Good for you, Bob. There's
- 36:42Speaker 6: a reverence to the game that both have. Cardinals fans
- 36:45Speaker 6: just like to let.
- 36:45Speaker 2: You know about it. A lot more than anybody else.
- 36:47Speaker 2: That's right. That's although their baseball village is nice. It
- 36:51Speaker 2: is I will say village is fun. They do travel.
- 36:55Speaker 2: I wondered about because they did.
- 36:56Speaker 7: I think the Brewers had a number of deals last night,
- 36:59Speaker 7: because it knows Tuesday night. That's you're you're coming off
- 37:02Speaker 7: of a holiday weekend, and.
- 37:04Speaker 2: I turned fool. Yeah, out of.
- 37:06Speaker 8: School yet lotuff you get the fan appreciation vouchers? Uh you?
- 37:10Speaker 7: So this was Yeah, so they targeted last night as
- 37:12Speaker 7: a game like we're gonna have to get creative, and
- 37:15Speaker 7: then makes things happened and they got a nice, nice draw,
- 37:17Speaker 7: thirty three thousand on a Tuesday before schools out.
- 37:19Speaker 2: It's not bad. Yeah, it was pretty.
- 37:20Speaker 7: It was Tuesday night, and Cardinals fans do show up
- 37:23Speaker 7: because I live kind of downtown and I see a
- 37:25Speaker 7: lot of them walking around in their jerseys and T shirts.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Okay, so that that adds up. Why arm till you
- 37:29Speaker 2: figured it out? Finally? You know how to vo just
- 37:31Speaker 2: said it? Well, I just said, you got tickets for
- 37:37Speaker 2: last night. I'm also the.
- 37:38Speaker 8: Reason we missed the first pitch and we missed all
- 37:40Speaker 8: the opening ceremonies. I was like, Okay, Lena should see
- 37:43Speaker 8: a lot of this, but I to make sure I
- 37:45Speaker 8: had got to my Dosney driver.
- 37:46Speaker 2: To get my free coke.
- 37:48Speaker 8: Oh my Goda cola, one free fountain Coca Cola for
- 37:50Speaker 8: the Disney driver.
- 37:53Speaker 2: For the six forty first pitch. How many innings did
- 37:56Speaker 2: you make it?
- 37:57Speaker 8: We went to We went to through the fourth and
- 38:00Speaker 8: we had to leave in the fifth. That's pretty much
- 38:01Speaker 8: so I figured that was a pretty good run. We
- 38:03Speaker 8: were able to see the most of the runs. The
- 38:06Speaker 8: big you know, we had to sit. We were in
- 38:08Speaker 8: the bag line, which takes a little time. But it
- 38:09Speaker 8: was overall great night. And yes, Billy, you know what.
- 38:12Speaker 8: The vouchers are there for a reason, and you know
- 38:14Speaker 8: you got to use them. Gotta make sure you use
- 38:16Speaker 8: those vouchures. Yeah good, I bought parking. We didn't walk
- 38:19Speaker 8: from Blue Mount.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Yeah you brought you brought it up.
- 38:23Speaker 6: Though you bought it up, you definitely pitched the idea
- 38:26Speaker 6: of walking from Blue Mount.
- 38:28Speaker 2: There's no way if you didn't just bring that up.
- 38:30Speaker 2: But you didn't mention it in La.
- 38:31Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's nice to carry the kids. It's
- 38:35Speaker 8: nice as in a few years we'll be able to
- 38:36Speaker 8: do that, you know. That's I didn't mention that.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Yeah, my goodness.
- 38:40Speaker 7: H Hunter Bromgart covered the game for US Hunters, our
- 38:42Speaker 7: Baseball go to guy Hunters reports on our program brought
- 38:45Speaker 7: to us by import minded Hunter. Take it away, let
- 38:48Speaker 7: us know what happened last night.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Thanks guys.
- 38:50Speaker 4: A six nothing win for the Milwaukee Brewers over the
- 38:52Speaker 4: Saint Louis Cardinals last night. They secured the series. By
- 38:55Speaker 4: the way, over the last nine days, the Brewers are
- 38:57Speaker 4: five and zero against the Cums and Cardinals, and they've
- 38:59Speaker 4: outscored them to six. A five run inning, Jake Bauers
- 39:03Speaker 4: a home run, Garrett Mitchell a home run, Kyle Harrison
- 39:06Speaker 4: six shutout innings. He's done eighteen consecutive scoreless innings now,
- 39:10Speaker 4: by the way, a one point five to seven er
- 39:13Speaker 4: over his first ten starts as a Brewer. That's the
- 39:15Speaker 4: best era through first ten starts at a Brewer's uniform
- 39:18Speaker 4: in Burger's history.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Exceptional.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Now, a lot of the questions after the game, though,
- 39:22Speaker 4: we're about the excessive celebration by Abner Uribay in the
- 39:24Speaker 4: eighth inning, which you've probably seen. Now, this is what
- 39:26Speaker 4: Brewer's manager Pat Murphy had to say when asked about it.
- 39:29Speaker 5: That's not acceptable. Yeah, that's just unacceptable. I don't know
- 39:33Speaker 5: what what got over him. I mean, he's been an
- 39:36Speaker 5: emotional guy, but that kind of thing, that's just not
- 39:40Speaker 5: how we do things. And I was embarrassed by it.
- 39:45Speaker 5: And you know, why are we doing it? Six nothing game?
- 39:49Speaker 5: What are we doing there?
- 39:50Speaker 4: And so clearly he wasn't happy with the actions. Now
- 39:53Speaker 4: we talked to Abner Uibe through translator Daniel Demond Dessert,
- 39:56Speaker 4: and Abner Ribe apologized to everyone so seated with the
- 40:00Speaker 4: Brewers for his actions. But this was his reasoning for
- 40:03Speaker 4: why the excessive celebration after ending the eighth.
- 40:07Speaker 3: Inning unacceptable to go out there and to react in
- 40:10Speaker 3: a in a way like that. But at the same time,
- 40:13Speaker 3: I don't think it's professional for their manager to be
- 40:15Speaker 3: making signs towards dog dog out saying that he's going
- 40:18Speaker 3: to be hitting guys. And there was an event that
- 40:20Speaker 3: occurred during the practice today too, and I don't think
- 40:23Speaker 3: that was right. So, you know, I have my teammates
- 40:26Speaker 3: back always, I'll see. Yeah, that was a sign he
- 40:35Speaker 3: was doing every time Yelly or Williams stepped up to
- 40:38Speaker 3: the plate, that's a gesture he was making.
- 40:40Speaker 4: Another dugout, so clearly we'll see how that plays today
- 40:43Speaker 4: in the series finale twelve forty first pitches, the Brewers
- 40:46Speaker 4: trying to go for a sweep. We'll still wait for
- 40:48Speaker 4: who that starting pitcher will be. My guess probably a
- 40:51Speaker 4: mix of Chad Patrick in there. Possibly you'd see Shane
- 40:55Speaker 4: Drowan other pictures maybe going to make their appearance, but
- 40:58Speaker 4: I would say Chad Patrick is probably the most likely
- 41:01Speaker 4: to get the most bulk amount of innings coming up
- 41:04Speaker 4: today in the series finale, twelve forty first pitch. This
- 41:07Speaker 4: report brought to you by import Minded, your trusted choice
- 41:09Speaker 4: for exceptional vehicle care on Sound twenty seven, just north
- 41:11Speaker 4: of eight ninety four.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Back to you.
- 41:13Speaker 7: Guys, Hunter, thank you very much. Well played, well played,
- 41:18Speaker 7: And uh yeah, the Rebay thing was the big story
- 41:21Speaker 7: until Josh Jacobs said, uh, not so fast. I'm in
- 41:24Speaker 7: the news cycle as well. I'm just trying to do that.
- 41:27Speaker 6: I'm just trying to do the logistics of it and
- 41:30Speaker 6: try to see how Abner your Reba seeing my man
- 41:33Speaker 6: Ali Marmel making gestures in the dugout while Yelly was
- 41:37Speaker 6: up from the bullpen.
- 41:39Speaker 2: And okay, well you know, hey, you know what Abner.
- 41:42Speaker 2: I'm with it.
- 41:42Speaker 6: I'm with you now thousand percent. You can't do it.
- 41:45Speaker 6: You get you're not supposed to do. It's unprofessional, it's
- 41:48Speaker 6: not what you're supposed to do. You apologize for it,
- 41:50Speaker 6: Thank you very much. I just enjoy having a little
- 41:54Speaker 6: bit of piss and vigor against the Saint Louis Garden.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Literally, there's some days of Tony LaRue here was that.
- 42:00Speaker 6: I'm smiling and thinking of twenty eleven when he called
- 42:03Speaker 6: all the fans idiots.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Yeah he did. He did. You know how many bones
- 42:05Speaker 2: are in the hand idiots up here screaming and going
- 42:09Speaker 2: throwing at YACHTI yeah, I mean, you know.
- 42:11Speaker 8: And if Abner saw it or didn't see it, or
- 42:13Speaker 8: had to kind of make something up in his head
- 42:15Speaker 8: to get fired up.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Sometimes that's how guys get motivated.
- 42:18Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I'm not gonna say, you know,
- 42:20Speaker 8: it wasn't great sportsmanship.
- 42:22Speaker 2: What do you apologize for it? Murphy. Everyone did what
- 42:25Speaker 2: they had to do.
- 42:25Speaker 8: But he's got a reason for it, whether or not
- 42:27Speaker 8: we say, hey, maybe there was something going on. We
- 42:29Speaker 8: didn't know why Yannist checked Mike Dunley into the boards
- 42:32Speaker 8: until he did it.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Until you know what happened during VP though, that's it.
- 42:36Speaker 2: We're all wondering. We don't know.
- 42:37Speaker 7: I mean, like, but if it was, you know, the
- 42:39Speaker 7: chirping continued again. Maybe it was a holdover from the
- 42:42Speaker 7: World Baseball Classic or something.
- 42:44Speaker 2: I don't know. There there's some some good stuff.
- 42:46Speaker 8: Now.
- 42:46Speaker 6: Will there be any boil over today or is it?
- 42:49Speaker 6: Is it done from last night so there's something left?
- 42:52Speaker 8: No?
- 42:53Speaker 2: No, probably not.
- 42:54Speaker 7: When they play each other down the road, it'll be
- 42:56Speaker 7: filed away. When you expect things to happen, they generally,
- 42:59Speaker 7: don't you think, like the Cardinal's gonna buzz the tower
- 43:02Speaker 7: on the first batter, I don't know.
- 43:03Speaker 6: Five games in four days, I think. I think that's
- 43:05Speaker 6: when you got a much better chance of those two,
- 43:07Speaker 6: those two coming to.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Blow us a little bit later in the season, a doubleheader,
- 43:10Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 43:11Speaker 7: Dolf's gonna join us for halftime today, and Hunter with
- 43:13Speaker 7: Josh Mauer is coming up as well.
- 43:15Speaker 2: You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
