• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We are here present and accounted for the Thursday edition
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of the huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin, drew Wilson, Bill Schmidt, Armin.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And I don't know about you compadres, but I'm a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: little tired today.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: It listens, not skating fully at our totally at full
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: strength there. I think I'd be with you on that one.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to need a lot of caffeine and a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: lot of audience participation to buoy us. Cause it's tired
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: doing all the sweeping.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go hiring. It's very fatiguing. I like that. And, uh,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I just had occasion, and I don't know if it
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: was a conscious decision on my part, but I'm like,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you know what? I'm going to watch this all the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: way through. I'm going to bask in this. I'm going
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to watch the end of the game, and then I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: had to sweat like everybody else through Shane Drone's high-wire
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ninth inning. Come on, Sprote. What are we doing? Yeah, Sprote.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see, that's what I mean by the lack of caffeine. No, Drew,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: you are spot on because I thought last night was
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a 10%er. I thought last night was the full 10%.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: We get the kickoff of the NFL season with really
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: nothing on the line for Packers fans, but just enjoying
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and watching Romeo Dobbs bring his drop act over to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: New England late into the game, into the fourth quarter.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: And you get the Brewers just drumming the arch rival
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and going 9-4 in the 13-game regular season series, sweeping
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: them one at their place, one at your place. I'm like,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: there's no way I'm missing a second of this. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: then I did wish that I would have just read
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the recap because that top of the ninth inning left
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a lot to be desired. I liked Abner Uribe really
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: wanted to bust out a celebration, really wanted to bust
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: out a celebration. Realized last night was not probably the time.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: For the on the mountain.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I noticed that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: And that was impressive to me that it showed growth.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Not only did Abner Reba put the fire out.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you. It showed growth. I mean, I did.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: And I was like, you know, it didn't alarm me
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: that he didn't come in and set him down. Cause
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: it's an unusual situation to go into. And then he
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: had the dribbler and there were some weird things going on.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: But I was, you know what? I was like, He stopped.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: He kind of jumped and stopped, and he was happy,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: and he was relieved. But I'm like, you know, even
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Abner's not going to shake the dice.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know what? Now is not the time. Even he's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: not going to show him the old Gen X chop. Yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: he didn't hit a DX. No DX.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: The DX, the Gen X. I don't remember what chop
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: that was. But a sweep's a sweep. The funny thing
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: is I was thinking the same thing. It's like, would
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Brewers go up 7-0 and Contreras, Homers, and then obviously
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Yelich and Chirio did? I'm like, all right, well, this
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: might be the night. This might be the night I
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: actually get to bed early. Because I say that to
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: myself about, oh, 82% of the time. It never really
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: comes through. But I always tell myself, this might be
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the night, you know, and I'm settling in and, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: maybe throw on a couple of, you know, street food
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: videos and get in bed, you know, and try and
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: fall asleep.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, there it goes. Pop, pop, pop.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: My phone's buzzing. Alert, alert. What's going on here? We're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: back in the trenches.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So you have to suit up and get back down
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: in the ditch and get ready to go for a
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: tight Brewers ninth. And then even in the NFL opener
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: last night, I'm thinking, well, this is a dud of
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: a game. Not much is happening, but the Patriots are
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: going to coast home with this ugly 10-0 win.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Next thing I know, Drew Locke comes in and saved
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the day. Like, what is going on?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Drake Mays throwing picks all over the yard like it's 1976.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: So I said to myself, oh, I guess this isn't
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: going to be an early night.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a Another late one.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Another night in the trenches, as Kevin McAllister said in
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Home Alone 2.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: And that's what it was. Is Home Alone 2 as
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: quotable as Home Alone 1? I don't necessarily know if
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: it has that same thing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Not the same.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I will say, Chris Brown one time said that, listen,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: as Drake May said, I'll save the last one for
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you and save three of them things for the third,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: for the fourth quarter.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That's what he did change that entire game.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Uh, as he throws three picks all in the fourth quarter,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it was handing them out to everyone. Julian love got one,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the heave to Romeo Dobbs started out. And then the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: last one that I'm still amazed Seattle didn't punch in
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: for six, uh, keeps it at 13, 10, keeps it
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: under hits a push for most folks, uh, in the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: investment world. And drew that's where the caffeine and the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: audience participation is really gonna need to ramp up here today.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Cause Not only are we tired from all the sweeping,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: but we're pulling double duty tonight because the pictures are out,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the videos are out, the graphics of the Pottawatomie Sportsbook
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: are live.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I got my eyes on.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Them yesterday because folks are ready for the Thursday Night
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Huddle coming up tonight at 5.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That is true. The Maiden Voyage, 5 to 7 o'clock,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: will be live from the Annex. Pottawatomie Sportsbook can't wait.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Going to be talking about football and having fun leading
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: into Thursday Night Football, which... Has to be a better game,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't it? It's got to be better. I mean, was
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: last night, it was better. It was more competitive than
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It wasn't more entertaining than the Super Bowl.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Last night. It didn't have commercials and diversions, so it
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: didn't have all the bells and whistles. It was like
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: eating cornflakes with no milk. Yeah, but I was waiting
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for bad money to fall through that living room again.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: At that point, how slow the game got, I was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: waiting for something. Last night is a great study of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just because a game is close does not mean it's good.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It does not mean it's good.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And last night, there was a lot of tough watches
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: in there. However, my man Sammy D goes down in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the first quarter or the first drive for the reigning
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: defending Super Bowl champs. That made it very compelling quickly. And,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: you know, the guy that Brian Gutekunst almost... Moved off
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of Aaron Rogers for way back when drew lock got
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: to take the mantle. If I'm not mistaken, drew lock
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: was that first on campus 30 visit that they did
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the year before they took Jordan love. There was a
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: lot of people that were big fans of drew lock.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden he gets to show
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: what he can do as a super bowl champion.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Doesn't that seem like a lifetime ago, but yeah, a
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: long time ago in a, in a, in a league
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: now kind of a second chances in some ways or
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: second lives for quarterbacks, maybe that's his. And you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: replacing a guy who had a second and third life,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold, who's, who's showing it now, of course, uh,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: leaving with the injury.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But you know, AJ Brown hurt for the Patriots.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to say they're cooked after
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: week one because I, you know, that would be very, um,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: prisoner of the moment of me to do a little presumptuous,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: but it would definitely be presumptuous, but you know, what
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the heck, why not? It's the only game we had
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: last night and it was kind of, but man, AJ
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Brown going down and Drake may looking like hot, you know, whatever.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a long season, obviously, but it
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: just shows you how quickly narratives can change or how
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: quickly your thought process can change in an NFL season
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: because one loss is not like the end of the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: world usually in general in the grand scheme of things,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: but you can get in trouble in the NFL if
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: you lose a couple early.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The big story to me was the people that got
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to play with their shiny new toy and celebrate and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: bask in the glow of the noise and the 12
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and You just paid $ 9. 6 billion for a team and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: your quarterbacks hurt five plays into the season. Five plays
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: into the game? Welcome to the NFL. Here's your brand
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: new owner's suite. Son of a... This is how quickly
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it happens? Five plays in. $ 9. 6 billion. Like, what did
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we buy here? And then they win the game. They
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: bought that defense. Oh, that's a good point, Drew, because
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know that they brought all of their friends. Oh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Night one of the new ownership, you are showing that
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: bad boy off in the.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You don't even know where the bathroom in your suite is.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: No points in the first 40 minutes? What are we doing?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You guys got shut out in the first half? This
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is football?
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Honey, we just got this new pool, and everybody's coming over,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: and the filter won't work.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And it's green.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And it's not working. What's going on with the pool?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: We need to get someone here. I'm going to be
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: so embarrassed. All of our friends are coming over, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: this pool doesn't work.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: You sound like you're watching that Kylie Kelsey commercial. I'm
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: going to be so embarrassed. We're going to be the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: worst hosts ever. I'm in charge of the pool in
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: front of the Washington Monument. Oh, there we go. Let's
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: start with that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go. No, I mean, it is kind of
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: funny how things can change. Look, and then you're waking
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: up and you're the Cubs, and all of a sudden
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: they're only two and a half up in the wild card.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: A.J.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Brown is hurt. Good morning. A.J. Brown got hurt. Welcome
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to week one. So, you know, I feel validated, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I have hope because I did say, That to me,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the more interesting game is tonight in Melbourne and like
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the jet lag bowl is going to be, who did
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it right? That's the coverage of who, who did it right? The,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the 49ers who went there and tried to acclimate or
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the Rams who are going to be playing kind of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a red eye football game.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: It really didn't hit me drew as how quickly they
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: were going to be playing. And when I actually saw
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the video that the NFL put out in the middle
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of the evening yesterday, while I was eating dinner, that
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: they had just arrived, and Matt Stafford looked like he
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: was fully asleep at baggage claim. I mean, he's standing there,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: standing upright with his eyes basically closed, statuesque, just waiting
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: for his carry-on. And I'm like, there's no way I'm
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: taking the Rams tomorrow night. No chance I'm taking the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Rams tomorrow night after watching just that video.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that's funny because just imagine if you
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: got off a flight like that and all of a
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: sudden there were cameras all over you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Like, just think about that. Like, it would be so uncomfortable. Like, okay,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: get off of me here. I just flew in a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: metal tube in the sky for 15 hours. For a day.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: And you're going to put a camera in front of
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: me now and expect me to look good? Like, you
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? Even a nice plane. Like, even
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: if I got to stretch my legs out, it didn't happen.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, I don't know. Those TikTok
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: girls make it look pretty good. Oh, my goodness.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Some of these international flights that you can get now,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: some of these little rooms you can get in, I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: If you've got.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: George Kittle's wife put a video out of the little...
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Chateau that she had on the flight down there.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Shockingly so. George Kittle flies down there, Drew, nine months
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: after tearing his Achilles. Adam Schefter this week wasn't ready
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: to put his reputation out that George Kittle was going
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Wasn't prepared to put his name on the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: fact that he was going to play.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: People were going to decide on his reputation based on that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to put my reputation. on the fact
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: that he's going to play. But I think he's got
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: a good chance. Well, this morning now, apparently, they can
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: say he's going to play. He's now off the injury
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: report nine months after a torn Achilles.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You know what? That makes you wonder, too. Will he
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be ready?
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: And you think about the Rams and the flight now, Billy.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: All these things are swimming in my head. As I
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: decide what wagers I'm going to make tonight at the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Pottawatomie Sports Book Annex when we're there.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, now you got me thinking, man. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: love when you do this.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: And you're going to be sitting there staring at those
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: kiosks the entire show.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: The amount of time I try to think of different angles.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: How to spend my $ 5. And it's like, oh, maybe
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: this is going to happen. Maybe they're going to be
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: tired here. And then they're going to probably roll up
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: and throw for 400 yards or something crazy. It's pretty
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: funny how that goes. But, oh, man, what a day
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: we're going to have. Jake with the glasses on YouTube.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Here we go, 5 o'clock club on a sweep Thursday.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: That's right, get the brooms out and not to do chores. Vince,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: good morning to the huddle.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Vince, good morning to you. Good morning, guys. Paul from Kenosha. P.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Chang as well, always in there on the YouTube comments.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Happy Throwback Thursday, fellas, regardless of the sproding 9th. Always
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: feels good to sweep the Cubs. That's two sweeps over
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the quote traitor and his baby bears. NFL's back, baby.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I love that energy.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: That's good energy right there. I do love, you guys
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: notice we got the council cam going now?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, the council cam. It's a little much, isn't it?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: A little excessive. Oh, I'm eating it all up. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: think it's hilarious.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they know where they're at. They're like, we're going
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to go right back to it. They're playing the hits.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Also, when you can get that zoom in, like, all right, y'all,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: it's Crushes the homer on the swing. Same shot one time.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: It's so cinematic. I get your point, Drew. At some point,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: they are kind of milking that cow a lot, but
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you might as well. It's the last game against the
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Cubs this year. When you go up seven, nothing like
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: they did. The homers early and just Churrio, who's just
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: becoming a beast.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Dude's on another planet. I compared him to Giannis, man.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: We're watching him establish himself, and he walked in pretty good.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You know, 2020, it looks like he's going to be
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: third straight year of 2020. He walked in pretty good,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: but he's just scratching the surface, man. I think he's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: going to be, he's going to go on one of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: those heaters and have a season like PCA is having
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, and he's right now having just the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: hell of a role that you possibly could. And again,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you forget that he missed a month to start the year, right?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: That's the thing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: And I thought, Drew, maybe the most evident, and maybe
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I'm overthinking it, but when he slides on, was that
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Tuesday night that people were a little frustrated about the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: slide that he had? It almost looked like somebody that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: did break his hand earlier in the year. He's like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be a little more delicate on this slide,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: a little more... Because I kind of am important with
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: these two hands. Me with the bat in the hand
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: is more important on this slide than me maybe stubbing
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: a finger because.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: He is white hot. But you're right. 830.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That was a barrel roll of a slide.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: It was like kind of trying to protect, not trying
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to really do too much here, but I'll just stick
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: my hand in there.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: It was a little Brooks Kieschnick-esque. I remember watching him
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: slide once or twice. It was kind of a, but yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: 837 OPS. He's slugging 491 now. His batting average is 290.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: He's one of these guys, you know, the thing about Jackson,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: besides his obvious talent and the excitement in his youth,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: what he can do in these peak moments when he's
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: really hot. But I still think his best ability is
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: that his floor never gets too low when he's kind
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: of going in his up and down kind of, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: the graph, you know, the hot and cold during the year.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: but he always has a baseline ability, which is not
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: easy to do as a young guy coming up. There's
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of great prospects that came up at a
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: very young age that were not able to just maintain performance,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: even at their slowest times of the year, which is
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: what he's able to do.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It's so impressive, and as you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Said, he's putting together what is already the best season
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: of his young career in a career that he's had
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: a couple good ones already.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's... 4.2 war right now. His baseline is going
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to be 20 homers. I think he's going to someday
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: be in 40, 45. Yeah, and you know what, Drew?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: It goes to when he first came up, a lot
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: of the comparisons or the easiest one that people would
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: try to forecast would be Ronald Acuna. And you didn't
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: realize Acuna had 40-bomb power in that bat all the time.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: And very much, you can see it. You can see
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: they're a very similar style player.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Acuna's got a stronger arm in the outfield, but they're
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: good defenders. Maybe not elite defenders, but too elite in
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: that box to be messed with.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good enough. Good enough. Absolutely. All right, so the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Brewers now back to a 10-game lead. A 10-game lead.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: That is a beautiful thing to say. I mean, that
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: is magic numbers down to five. They actually could ruin
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: their own carpet.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: They could. I mean, that's crazy. They could do it. Five. Yeah,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: five for the NL Central to get a bye. Four
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: for the postseason. Five for the Central to get a bye. Actually,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: two for the season adjusted. Postseason clinch is likely this weekend.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Postseason is going to happen maybe tonight.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Did we fully understand what the schedule adjusted one is?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: But I do like the fact that they might just
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: immediately rip off the question that we had yesterday. Not
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: even going to be a deal. We're just going to
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: clinch them both on the same night. We'll just celebrate
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: either way.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: The whole 100 win thing is now they have to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: go nine and six, which is entirely doable. Very much
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: in the cards. Very much in the cards. No pun intended.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Could be against the cards. Nine and six gets you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to 100 wins. Yeah, so to get the number one seed,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the magic number is 14 over the Doyers. Yeah, that's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: another one. Who are rolling right now. They're rolling, but
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: they also put their big fan on the IL.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: If you're watching other teams in the mix as well,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: the Braves lost last night. The Phillies, they lost the race.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: The Phillies came back to win. Schwarber did it again
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: with a grand salami. That guy is just incredible.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, and I know we don't have to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: worry about this right now because we're just going to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: get our popcorn and watch the first round. But if
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the Phillies do play the Cubs and the series is
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in Philly, that'll be tough for the Cubs to win.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Big time. But I'd rather the Brewers face the Cubs
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: than the Phillies. I know people are like, oh, I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: can't have the thought of losing. The Phillies are no joke.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: They come out there, and their bullpen's better than the Cubs,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and their lineup is as if not more scary with
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Schwarber and Harper and Rio Luto. I was going to say,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and their rotation is different. And their rotation at the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: top is right up there with Miz and Henderson. The
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Phillies could be the toughest out besides the way this
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: adds to the Dodgers. The Phillies scare me as much
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: as anybody in the bracket.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Because if it wasn't for their month of... April, they
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: would have been the odds-on favorite to win the NL.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: They would have been right there neck and neck with
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you the entire time, and they've been surging.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: They're one of those groups, Drew, that you see it
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: every year.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Come June, they become the best team in baseball, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: then the stats once they hit the postseason is, Since
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: May 25th, like the Brewers last year, best team in baseball.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Since June 14th, best team in baseball. And I feel
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: like the Padres were like that a couple of years ago.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: They're going to be right there in the mix, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the Phillies are a tough one because those numbers, those
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: dudes on paper, they jump off the lineup.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Phillies is going to be a tough out, no
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. 877-794-1973. We're, again, it's the warm-up act
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: because today's the doubleheader for us, Pottawatomie Sportsbook. In the Annex,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the Huddle Live, Thursday Live, Thursday
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Night Live. Join us and become a legend. I mean, yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I like that. Your sport, their stadium.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: But you go in there and you pull up and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: you are going to feel like you're running out of
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: the tunnel when you come into the Annex.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And stay tuned for the winning words, the phrase that pays. Yes, sir.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: We're going to have a little secret, a little inside
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for our smart and good-looking listeners that if you roll
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: up to our table tonight and say, Relay to us
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the phrase that pays or the words, what is it,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the winning words or whatever we're going to call it. Yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I like phrase that pays. Phrase that pays. Come on.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: The phrase that pays, if you say it to us,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: we'll have a $ 10 gift card for you to use
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: on property for anything you want, snacks, food. Yeah. A
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: chunk of a burger.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: The first 10 folks that get there to give us
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: the phrase that pays, get it. And most importantly, Drew,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: we've been saying that there were going to be elite
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: perks of being in the 5 o'clock club that you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: just couldn't get anywhere else. We just didn't tell you
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: exactly when it was going to roll through.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: But now, all of a sudden, on the other side,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: you're going to have that opportunity right here, 5 o'clock clubbers.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: It pays to be listening at this time of hour.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: It certainly does. It certainly does. Looking forward to tonight.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But we got to get through this morning first. Do
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: we have Hunter today? Because I know Dolph is back.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: All right. Talk to Hunter. We do have Hunter.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: He's feeling better.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: We have Dolph. And we have a Hunter report. So
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: we are just skating.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Everything's coming up gangbusters. At full strength.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: All right. I'm just getting rolling. Thanks for hanging out
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: with us, 5 O'Clock Clubbers. You're in the huddle. Fox
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. 920 Milwaukee,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: 1070 Madison. iHeartRadio app. Facebook, X, and YouTube for the streamers.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Glad you're aboard. You, uh. Five o'clock clubbers. Couple of
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: notes here. Cause you know, Billy, you wanted football back
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: in the worst way. And in some ways you got
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it last night. The first, first game of the NFL season,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a rematch of super bowl 60 was not, it was not, compelling.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Was not thrilling.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Better game than it was in Santa Clara six months ago.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: The interesting thing was when Darnall goes down, you thought, okay, well,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: there's going to be no offense in this game, and
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: then all it took was a fourth and one, and
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the offensive player of the year running away from everybody
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to give you the one highlight that you get out
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: of the opening game last night.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: So, Drake May led the Patriots to an early lead
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and then didn't do much in the fourth quarter. Led
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: them to a loss. Had a He took three sacks
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and had three interceptions. Yeah, it's one thing to not
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: do much. ESPN stats and info. The last quarterback to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: throw a pick down by three, less than a minute
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: left inside of the 20-yard line, was Kyler Murray, whom
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Packers will face. Kyler Murray accomplished that week eight
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of 2021 against the Green Bay Packers. Rasul Douglas picked
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to walk it off. off and win it, snatching victory
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: from the jaws of defeat. Oh, that's a beautiful callback
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: right there. So yeah, to throw a pick in that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: circumstance is rare. Not since 2021.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: It doesn't happen a ton. And you could see that
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: the rush was getting to May and that he was,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: he was, About to break, about to break, and then
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: just lofted something up as quickly as he could.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Here's the other thing for your viewing pleasure, for your
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: listening pleasure, and for folks who thought Drake May got
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: hosed and maybe should have beaten Stafford last year for
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the MVP. Oh, for MVP?
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Drake May, with the loss last night, is now 0-12
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: against teams with a winning record. Yeah, that's not going
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to do it. That is going to follow him the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: way Kirk Cousins on Monday night. It's like, Kirk Cousins
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: hasn't won on Monday night. He's 0-57 on Monday night football.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: And he'll finally beat a team that's 4-3. They'll lose
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: three straight.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And they're like, he's a fraud again! You have to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: overcome that. I'm sorry.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: There's a reality to it at some point. There's a
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: reason we called him the schedule last year.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Isn't it a stunning stat? It's stunning, but it's... Now,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: against playoff teams, I guess he was like 5-8 or something,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: including the playoffs, but I mean.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: There was zero confidence watching him. I mean, that team
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: went to the Superbowl and you said to yourself, This
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: guy is not really doing much for him.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I know he had a good year last year.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you watch the regular season, though, and you
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: watch the games that he played, you realize all of
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: the numbers that he put up were sublime.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: They were good during the season, yes, they were. Definitely,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. But, I mean, playoffs sometimes is
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: when you're seeing tough competition.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: No doubt, he played four of the top eight defenses
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: in football in the playoffs, which you're usually going to see,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it. But that's something else. And the
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: eye test sometimes is questionable. The record is the record,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: and that's quirky. What does it tell us? Well, obviously,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: can he win a big game? He got to a
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Yes. To be fair, he did win those games. Hey, listen,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: he's on pace for 51 interceptions now.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: So there you go. But he also thrown the ball
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: down the field, not his forte. Three for nine, throwing
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the ball 10 yards or more down the field with
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: three interceptions. Seven for eight. Behind the line of scrimmage. Well,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Rome didn't help him out last night, did he? No, no.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Romeo didn't really help him.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: And then I saw Andrew on YouTube. Andrew said, how
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: about the Romeo dubs cam.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: After his huge drop? Passes of 20. Oh, and they
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: hit him on the bench right there? Wow. Remember when
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it was Love wasn't accurate with the deep ball?
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: No.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Now it's Drake May's turn in the jackpot because he's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: 0 for 4 with three picks on deep passes of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: 20 yards or more last night. And it's like, oh, well, OK. OK.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're a conductor, sorry, Billy, to jump
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: on you there. If you're a conductor, can you bring
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: the riffs to the orchestra up? That was what always
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Aaron was good at, right? Is Drake going to be
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: good at that now with A.J.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Brown out? You know, that's the question. I did it
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: all again, did it all last year. I mean, like
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: all year.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: So like, I'm not, I'm not ready to jump off
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: of the Drake May bandwagon. Like a lot of people
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: will after the one game, but.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Those are interesting stats to dig out from a hundred percent.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Seattle's defense is going to do that to a lot
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of folks.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I just like, I come out of these games and
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I came out of most of the off season, uh,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: surprised at the disrespect to Seattle winning the championship. and
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: being as doubted and under discussed as anybody. But listen,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: the two teams that the Rams off season did the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: most for were clearly the LA Rams and the Seattle Seahawks.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Cause no other team is as counted out in their
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: own division that just hoisted the trophy. Then that one
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: is because people are still going to wait to see
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: if they're going to be able to do it again.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And, you know, validated again, how good of a year
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Stafford had last year.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: You watch him carve up that, Same defense that Seattle
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: puts out that dominated most teams in the back half
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: of the year last year. Stafford was putting up insane
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: numbers against them in those shootouts. Seahawks had some guys out.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: They committed 100 yards worth of penalties, which added to
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the suckiness of the whole night, of the whole thing.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Definitely slowed it down, Drew, that's for sure. And, you know,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you're up on the road. You know, when you're up
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: on the road at Lumen Field, you got to finish, right?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: You got to finish because it's... It's not an easy
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: place to play all that. But I think this was,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I felt more like the Patriots. It's a Patriots loss
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: more than a Seahawks win. Yeah, sure. The Seahawks overcame
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the quarterback going out and stuff, but it was like
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a Patriots. It was there for you. And they just
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: gave it right to you. Your MVP candidate, your MVP
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: runner-ups throwing picks, handing them out like Oprah hands out
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: big presents under your seat. You get one. You get one.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: What are we doing?
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you get one, too. Why not? And once Locke
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: came out, you knew the game was going to slow
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: down significantly. and Seattle, I mean, they got 13 first downs.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Like they get a short field off of the turnover
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: after it's tied. And I think they ran nine plays
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: to get 35 yards. It was a slog for them throughout.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: If Sam Darnold is out for an extended period of time,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: or even God forbid the season, apparently there's no CT machine.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So they have to do a scan today, but There's
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: no fracture. Come on. Surprise me. No CT machine. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: thought they'd have state of the art imaging. I thought everything. Yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Come on. Cappuccino.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Capital.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: If he can't go billion, you can't get one. We
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: just mentioned Kirk cousins can't win on Monday night, but
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: if he can't go, is that the guy they pry
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: away and let Vegas start on the front, the Mendoza era,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: or do they go and, Do they go and get
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to a, when he gets flipped loose or is JJ
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: McCarthy up next? Because he's a third string quarterback. Yeah.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I'd, I'd play drew lock nine, 10 times out of
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: 10 before I'm throwing Jacob, JJ McCarthy out there.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: And like that, that's the thing. There are a couple
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of options.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: This is the one where I waited and wondered if,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: if Rogers was going to, before he signed with, with
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and how long that one lasted. I kind of
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: thought he was going to sit back and wait to
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: potentially see if somebody would go down.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: But they said there's no fracture. That's awesome.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of problems that can go on in
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: the hip. There's a lot of things that can be
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: going on in the hip. And that's going to throw
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: off timing all year long for your release point and
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: the velocity you put on the ball.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a problem.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know that they go out and do anything.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: What they got to do is run the ball more.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Zarian Price, he's got pop. That dude can move.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Boy, he looks good.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: And they're going to get Charbonnet back in the middle
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: of the year. They're going to run a ton. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: thought my favorite part of last night, even though the
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: game left a lot to be desired, the internet did not.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: You guys see all the, the amount of Diana Rossini,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel gifts that I'm waking up to this morning.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I know they're out there. I haven't, it was hot
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: after the game.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: It made up for the fact that the entertainment on
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: the field might not have been great. The one on
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the scroll was pretty elite after the internet was internetting
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: after that game. It's funny. I, It was phenomenal. I
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: haven't gotten to see a lot of them yet. I'm
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: sure you'll send me some good ones there. A couple
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: of Romeo Dobbs and the Patriots looked a lot like
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Dajon Love.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, my. That is funny because of the helmet. Is
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that the reason? Because of the big helmet? I see
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: people still talk about it. But more guys are going
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to wear that thing. That and the drop. And the drop, obviously.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Dajon Love when he's running on the beach. The beach
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: one was just.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Who runs with a helmet on the beach?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Amongst Packer fans, is there like a schadenfreude with Dobbs
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: that I'm not catching on to? Maybe there is for some.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Just because he's not on the Packers anymore, but it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: not like he left for free agency. It wasn't like
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: he said, I'm holding out or I'm getting out of
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: town or bad mouth the Packers. But I saw a
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: couple like, ah, Dobbs dropped it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: There was that one.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: There was that one suspended detrimental to the team for
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: not showing up to practice.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: When he left that week. But then he came back
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: and had some touchdowns. And I thought he generally for
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: his draft position and what he costs the Packers.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I thought he had played good football for you. He
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: was very productive. No doubt about it. But I do.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: But, but Armin, I do believe that whether or not,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: However you come back off of something like that, there's
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: going to be detractors for the rest of time for
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: certain folks. Certain folks are not going to get over
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: that one, and I think that one was going to
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: stick in there. And also, I mean, it's somewhat reminiscent
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: of you go and get the ball in Chicago and
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: then the playoff game is at home. So I think
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: that's maybe where more of the frustration in the Venom
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: for Romeo Dobbs comes from. Not as much from two
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: years ago, probably more from Week 16 in Chicago.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear that. That's a good point. I mean,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: that was a brutal way to end your career. Romeo
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Dobbs should get a call of support from Caleb Durbin.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: It's tough here at first, but once you settle in,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: it's going to be all right. Trust me, they're going
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: to like you at some point. He'll get chances now.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's going to be targets out there.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: For him, so.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Well, especially if Brown's out for an extended period of time.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: They didn't give a ton after the game there as
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: they were trying to get on the plane and get out.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: But this Wednesday night opener left definitely something to be desired.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I'm excited for the Netflix event tonight. And that is
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: an event. Whenever you hit a Netflix game, as we
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: learned in their MLB coverage, Drew, you don't know what's
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: going to happen here tonight.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Bert Kreischer most likely going to come up with his
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: shirt off at some point. They're going to Netflix the
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: hell out of this event.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: You've got to look up and see what is being
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: released on Netflix coming up, and then you can probably
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: guess two or three different cameos that are going to
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: happen in this massive commercial that happens.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: For two hours before the game in Australia tonight. That's right. Boy,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I wonder what's going to happen with Darnold with his
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: hip and the imaging. I thought they said they got
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: good news or something like that. There's no fracture. That's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: great news. If he has a torn... like labral ligament
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: or something like that, he's out for the year. You're
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: done for the year. No doubt about it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Anything with that hip joint is going to be tough to,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: have any real ability to come back from in any
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: timely process.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: That's just a dicey spot.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: There's so much that's in there that's going to throw
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: off his mechanics of throwing the football. That's where Locke
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: comes in last night. He's definitely not great. Threw the
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: ball better than Drake May did. Especially into the fourth quarter,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: threw the ball better than Drake May did. So I
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: bet there's going to be a little bit of confidence there.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I did like Seattle's busting out a new offensive coordinator.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Having to go to.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: The backup quarterback right away, that shows some stuff. Being
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: able to at least move the ball a little bit.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: That's the first time a man's called plays in his life.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: And Seattle's radio call was loving it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: There you go. Elite players are elite players because JSN
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: is elite.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I was going to say, how will that injury
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: affect all the JSN owners that took him early in
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: their drafts?
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: That's the one dude that I'd say, I might take
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: him over Justin Jefferson. Because for me, it's like Justin
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Jefferson's top of the mark. But that dude's like right
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: up there. He turned on those burners yesterday on that
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: fourth and one. Oh my goodness.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: And sometimes it helps not, you know, if you don't
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: have your main guy, your backup guy's like, I'm going
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: to get to whoever's open.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: And he's my safety blanket. He's my security blanket.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I'm going to throw in between that one and one
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: every single time. Definitely a factor with that. So it
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: might help in that sense. You have a guy like
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: that available to help you through the early struggles when
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: you need something.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, Patriots blew that game in a lot of ways. But, hey,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you got to knock out the champ.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: The internet was saying there was more of that happening after.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: The game, though.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh. I'm telling you, dude, the Rossini videos and
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: the Rossini gifts were just hilarious. Also, shout out Mike Tirico,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: kind of acknowledging it right at kickoff. Drops in, shows
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: the camera over to Vrably, goes, a lot of off-season conversations,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: not including football over there with the Patriots.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: He must have had a calci bet on himself. He
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: was trading. He wanted to cash that thing out right away.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I'm curious because it is interesting the amount of certain
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: big media types are telling everybody that people don't care
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: about it. I'm like, well, people talk about it and
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: make jokes about it. Whether or not they care, I
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: don't know if that's your definition. But Colin kept talking
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: about it yesterday at his show. I was like, 99%
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: of football fans don't care about that. When we come back,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: we'll shift gears back to baseball. Brewers off today.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Everybody gets a day to decompress after a 16-game stretch.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: of 16 games in 16 days and seven games in
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: 10 days against the always hated but never feared Cubs.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And what was the Brewers' record in those games, Billy? Oh,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: my goodness. A robust, robust 6-1. No, 5-2. 5-2, sorry.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I thought they sold another one. 5-2 in the World
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Series of Milwaukee versus Chicago.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: 9-4 overall for the year once at their place once
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: They got it all over the place. The Cubs did
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: win a series here, 2 out of 3, but that
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: was it. Yeah, you swept him there, though, swept him here.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Call him your daddy. When we come back, Hunter Baumgart's
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: recap of last evening's proceedings. Hunter will join us at 725.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Dolph will join us at 625. He's back in the building.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. BCA
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: on deck. Oh, boy. Here he comes.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: And he struck him out.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: The Brewers walk in the tightrope in the ninth inning.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Cubs get within two. They get within a batter of
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: their MVP coming up to the plate. But the Brewers win,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: and they sweep the Cubs.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: My palms are sweaty.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know about you.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Our pals from Brewers TV, Brian Anderson, Bill Schroeder, bringing
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: us back to the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Brewers
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: cap off a wild roller coaster of a ninth inning.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: That was way too long. Unacceptable.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Was I the only one that was wondering if Murph
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: was going to go get him in.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: A 2-0 count? Walk in the ballpark. Yeah, he might
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: as well have. He was fired. He was so frustrated.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: He looks over. You ready? Thank God.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I wasn't actually worried the Brewers would lose until it
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: went 2-0 in the last hitter for Uribe's last.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, then I'm like, okay, he could walk him
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and then we're in trouble. But that was like, really?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: We were up 8-1.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is the only way I could not
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: feel good about winning the series against the Cubs.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: That was rough. Uribe got it done. They did finish.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Uribe got it done. Off day today for everybody to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: rest and recharge. And they need one, man. And they
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: need one, but they have obviously a 10-game cushion. How
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: about that? That was the best-case scenario for the Brewers.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: They played seven games in 10 days against the Cubs,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and they won five. Yeah, it just couldn't be better.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Like we said, the Cubs maybe could have convinced themselves
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it was a race if they go five and two.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Even then.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Right, like even then it would have been tough because
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: they would have still been, what, four games back because
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: they walked in seven back?
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Correct. But, like, I mean, they had to do what
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the Phillies are doing right now.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Phillies start up their three-game set to finish off their
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: seven-game in 10-day against Atlanta. And they're three games back, right? Like,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're close, not necessarily close enough, as somebody
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: might say, but you just ran away from them. And
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: in the midst of it, you just kick some sand
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: in their face. When Churio's stealing up 7-0 in the
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: second inning or third inning. Granted, you needed all the runs.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: That did feel like a moment where we're just going
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: to enjoy this real quick.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: And the other thing is now by giving him the sweep,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: you do put that, you know, that kind of pipe dream,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: that hope that you plant that seed of the true
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: ultimate dream, which was the Cubs hit a wild losing
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: streak here and lose a playoff spot. I don't think
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: it's very possible or likely or anything when you really
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: look at the numbers.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: But wouldn't that be the ultimate? You want to talk
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: about the internet?
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: That would be a fun winter on the internet if
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: the Cubs had such a dramatic collapse that they fell
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: all the way out of a wild card spot. Again,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: it's very unlikely here still. Their magic number is 13
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: as of today to get a playoff spot. But it
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: could happen now. And if it does happen, wouldn't that
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: be the most glorious thing to happen?
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: That would be awesome. What's glorious is that we have
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a Hunter Baumgart recap of last evening's proceedings. Let's take
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a listen. Brought to us by Import Minded. Take it away, Hunter.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Thanks, guys. How sweep it is. The Brewers sweep the
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Cubs at home for the first time since June of 2021.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: And they win it 8-6. Got a little dicey in
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: that ninth inning. A lot more stressful than I think
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: we wanted it to be. But the good news is
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: PCA didn't come up again. And that might not have
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: been good. But either way, let's not focus on that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: Let's focus on the Brewers taking five of seven in
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: this seven games in 10-day stretch between the two clubs.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: The Brewers taking the season series, of course. And now
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: they are a franchise record tying 35 games over. 500
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: at 91-56. And they are rolling. Magic number to clinch
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: the NL Central sits at five. The soonest they could
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: do that is Sunday, depending on the results of Friday
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: and Saturday. It's going to be a real fun weekend
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: at American Family Field against the Cincinnati Reds. And then,
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: of course, they go on the three-city road trip. Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Philly,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: and then at home against St.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Louis.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: And that is the end of the regular season. But
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: the Brewers have already won 91 games. We're sitting here
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: on September 10th. Logan Henderson with another solid start. He
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: continues to be dynamite. And the offense was alive early
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: with the home runs. Christian Yelich, Jackson Churio again, William Contreras.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: getting the Brewers out in front, and they really never
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: looked back until the ninth inning. But then they still
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: looked forward because Abner Uribe was able to get the
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: final out against Murray. So, off day today. First off
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: day in a long time. They just went through a
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: 16-game in 16-day stretch. Then tomorrow, Friday. It's a 6.45
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: first pitch on Apple TV. I'll be talking to Tricia
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Whitaker of Apple TV, and we'll be able to get
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: you that interview coming up tomorrow. They have the broadcast
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: of Brewers Reds tomorrow night. We're still waiting on the
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: starters for the weekend. I'll join you guys at 7.25
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: to talk more about the crew. This report brought to
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: you by Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: care on South 27th, just north of 894.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Back to you guys. Thank you very much, Hunter B.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: That's going to be good.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I'm excited for him to be able to chop it
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: up with Trisha and give us a little lowdown there
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: on the Apple TV broadcast.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Those are always fun. Always a fun convo. Absolutely. All right,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Steve in the 608 hits us up. Come on, Steve.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: What's up? You know, we keep talking about PCA being
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: the MVP. Sure didn't show me anything against the Brewers.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't have to play well. Shouldn't he have to play
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: well against a good team to be considered? I'm not
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: impressed with PCA. Oh, okay. Steve, you can die on
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: that hill yourself because it's going to be a lonely,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: lonely existence. Yeah, it's going to be a tough one.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: The guy hit a home run the other night. He
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: had a couple of hits and scored a couple of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: runs in this series. It wasn't totally shut down. The
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Brewers are kind of like his kryptonite. He hit the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Brewers this series better than he did all year, right?
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: His numbers were far better this series than that. The
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: other thing is, and whether or not, I would disagree
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: with that notion. I think Pete's a hell of a player,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and he very much deserves it this year. The other
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: thing is, the guy that was right behind him is
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: now on the I.L.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, as much as you could say, wouldn't
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: he have to show it, right now he's just got
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: to show up because the other guy can't. The other
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: guy's out in Otani and has been somewhat MIA for
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: last month. Whether or not it was just his at-bats
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: and lack of being able to pitch definitely slid down
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: the dinosaur. I think the other part, and maybe the
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: better conversation would be, Drew, could you see and forecast
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: a Jackson Shurio season that Pete Crowe Armstrong had this year?
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: And from what you're seeing, I absolutely can. Do I
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: think he's going to play the elite of the elite
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: center field or defense like Pete Crow Armstrong can probably not,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: but If you go 40 homers and 30 stolen bases,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to matter, right? I think
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: he's going to have offensively the ability to have the
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: exact same pop that you do there from PCA. The
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: big part of what his numbers are, and Armin can
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: explain the war stuff to you because I don't know
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: how they have.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: His war is a nine.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know how it gets calculated. They don't know
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: either because they have two different versions of it, so
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: it can't be a very good stat if you have
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: to have two separate versions of it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: That's a fair point.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: But either way, his defensive metrics, he's just... That guy, when.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: It comes to defense, that's where a lot of his value,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: not that is bad.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's leading the league in OPS, but a
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: lot of his value also comes from the defense, what
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: he can do in center field, which is, I mean,
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: he has a couple of awkward moments sometimes in the
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: naked eye.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you think about the white socks one.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: But he gets to balls, even last night's Yellich one,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: he gets to balls that most guys never even dream
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: of having a chance to.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: So that's, you're right, Billy, we're a lot of the value. Yeah,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: that's the frustrating one. We're all saying, oh, that's a gap. No,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Janie and Appleton, I thought I was going to have
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: a heart attack watching the ninth inning. I do believe, hope, pray,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: that we've seen the last of Brandon Sprout. Good thing
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: we got to the scrubs early and often. I do
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: love the council cam. Janie, I'm with you. Brandon Sprout,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: keep them tight pants and get them ready for 2027.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: I'm all good on seeing Brandon Sproat again. Maybe a
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Coleman Crowe experience, Drew, before we get out of here
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: in the regular season.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Very likely. In 13 games against the Brewers this year,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Pete Crowe Armstrong hit 163. Two homers and three RBI.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: That's his most common opponent. In six games against the Dodgers,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: he hit 348 and had two homers and five RBI
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: in six games. That's against a pretty good team. Against
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: a good one, yeah. Sorry, Steve. Your logic is flawed.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: The phrase that pays is coming up. You're in the huddle.
