Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wisconsin is on the air.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Let's get it. The Monday edition continues. Drew Wilson, Arman
- 0:07Speaker 2: Sarian from headquarters. Billy Schmid out playing golf today for
- 0:10Speaker 2: Brian Butch. But he joined us just moments ago, and
- 0:13Speaker 2: we said that we would have another special guest for
- 0:15Speaker 2: the seven o'clock hour of the Huddle today. We welcome
- 0:17Speaker 2: Hunter Bombguard to the party. Hunter, thanks for getting up early.
- 0:20Speaker 2: How you doing good? I'm doing well and yeah, happy
- 0:25Speaker 2: to be on with you guys. I saw there's a
- 0:27Speaker 2: little bit of drizzle out there, but hopefully that clears
- 0:29Speaker 2: and they're able to have a great, great day out
- 0:31Speaker 2: there at Butch he's outing.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it depends on I guess it's a little patchy,
- 0:35Speaker 3: so I guess what part hits and what part doesn't
- 0:36Speaker 3: hit them. And looks like there's some window today to
- 0:39Speaker 3: get some in, so hopefully I don't think it's gonna
- 0:41Speaker 3: be total wash out.
- 0:42Speaker 4: I think they'll be able to.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Get it in and I have confidence these guys, and
- 0:45Speaker 3: let's be honest, even if they don't have a good time, Yeah,
- 0:47Speaker 3: that's gonna go.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Billy's right, there's been a checkered history of this event
- 0:51Speaker 2: with the rain drops and stuff, and sometimes it's been
- 0:54Speaker 2: cut short or postponed. But yeah, golf outings are all
- 0:57Speaker 2: about the weather.
- 0:58Speaker 5: Hunter.
- 0:58Speaker 2: If you've done a lot of golf outings your day,
- 0:59Speaker 2: you're like me and Armine, like you don't play much.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I haven't. I've been at them. I have not participated
- 1:07Speaker 1: in them. I don't think I've ever golfed in one.
- 1:09Speaker 1: But I really doing something in them, yeah, I mean
- 1:13Speaker 1: I haven't actually golfed in a while. It might be
- 1:17Speaker 1: an ugly scene if I would try to do that.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Hunter's worked at plenty of them. I think it's been
- 1:21Speaker 3: helped and worked in plenty.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I've dressed up at them.
- 1:25Speaker 4: You've dressed up with them.
- 1:26Speaker 3: You've worked, that's true, You've been aware of what's going on,
- 1:29Speaker 3: You've helped out. You've definitely done your work, that's for sure.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Playing is a different thing, though, right, So yeah, put
- 1:35Speaker 3: in the work.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, all right, Hunter, it is you know, game
- 1:39Speaker 2: balls and kicks the balls, and we've been game balling.
- 1:41Speaker 5: Jacob Misrawski.
- 1:42Speaker 2: That was I think the highlight of a great weekend
- 1:45Speaker 2: for the brewers in Colorado. Taking care of business. The
- 1:47Speaker 2: sweep is like it's it's getting pretty ridiculous. The Brewers
- 1:52Speaker 2: are twenty seven and ten since April twenty six, best
- 1:55Speaker 2: in baseball they've been. You know, the minor league system
- 1:59Speaker 2: is playing really well. David Hamilton is hot, Churio's getting hot.
- 2:04Speaker 2: We mentioned last time you were with us, so Contreras
- 2:06Speaker 2: is getting hot. It just seems like everything is clicking
- 2:10Speaker 2: for the Brewers right now. When you watch this team,
- 2:12Speaker 2: what stands out to you about what makes you know
- 2:15Speaker 2: about what's making them successful.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you're starting to get contributions up and down the lineup.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I think a key to the weekend was guys like
- 2:24Speaker 1: Renhefo or guys like sal Frielick and like you mentioned,
- 2:28Speaker 1: David Hamilton all coming through at different times. And it
- 2:31Speaker 1: was Renhifo early yesterday, it was Freelick late in the
- 2:34Speaker 1: game nine tenth inning on Friday night, and obviously Hamilton
- 2:38Speaker 1: throughout the weekend, including a home run on Saturday. And
- 2:40Speaker 1: it just Hamilton had no homers, you know, about eight
- 2:44Speaker 1: nine days ago, and now he has three in the
- 2:46Speaker 1: last seven eight games. It just has been they've been
- 2:49Speaker 1: getting production at the bottom of the order, and that's
- 2:51Speaker 1: kind of what you've needed last year when you looked
- 2:54Speaker 1: at the team, you felt you had a guy that
- 2:56Speaker 1: could at least do something one through eight and maybe
- 3:00Speaker 1: nine depending on how Joey Ortiz was hitting at the time.
- 3:03Speaker 1: This year it's been one through six and then the
- 3:04Speaker 1: rest has kind of been like when he fo Hamilton
- 3:08Speaker 1: or Tez Freelick. You know, those guys have not had
- 3:10Speaker 1: good starts to the season, but now it seems they're
- 3:12Speaker 1: coming around a little bit. And I think that adds
- 3:14Speaker 1: to over the last seven games you've scored at least
- 3:17Speaker 1: seven runs and six of them and I think you
- 3:19Speaker 1: get production out of the bottom of the order, it
- 3:20Speaker 1: makes it even scarier to then face the top where
- 3:24Speaker 1: you have guys like terrang who's hitting four oh seven
- 3:26Speaker 1: and it's the seven games a Garrett Mitchell who's hitting
- 3:29Speaker 1: three twenty seven since May fourteenth, or Andrew Vaughan, you know,
- 3:32Speaker 1: who's hitting three forty one on the season, or Churio
- 3:34Speaker 1: is hitting two ninety three on the season, and obviously
- 3:37Speaker 1: what Yelly has done. And so it's in Contrari's like
- 3:40Speaker 1: you mentioned with the big home run that he needed
- 3:42Speaker 1: that one. It's two home runs since May first for him,
- 3:44Speaker 1: But hopefully that it starts a trend, so it makes
- 3:48Speaker 1: everything better when you get production out of the bottom
- 3:50Speaker 1: of the order. And that's kind of what stood out
- 3:52Speaker 1: about really the offense because as much as yeah, the
- 3:54Speaker 1: pitching Shan Dron was impressive, obviously, Miz that that offense
- 3:59Speaker 1: really has been clicking ever since you haing started a
- 4:02Speaker 1: week ago.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it really helps when the you know,
- 4:04Speaker 3: the team's winning so much a lot because of the pitching, obviously,
- 4:07Speaker 3: and when you win so much, you can kind of
- 4:09Speaker 3: pick at scabs and say, well, can we need to
- 4:11Speaker 3: improve here and there. But it's really helped, and it
- 4:13Speaker 3: hasn't become such a source of urgency for the inconsistencies
- 4:16Speaker 3: in the Brewers lineup in the offense, right, because when
- 4:19Speaker 3: you're winning, you can sustain these things and kind of
- 4:21Speaker 3: work through them. And the Brewers have kind of done that,
- 4:24Speaker 3: even saw Ortiz take the basis little walk Hunter, but
- 4:28Speaker 3: the Brewers have done an incredible job winning in spite
- 4:30Speaker 3: of those wards. And I think because of that, it's
- 4:32Speaker 3: allowed some of the guys in the lineup to relax,
- 4:34Speaker 3: to try and work through struggles and start to build
- 4:36Speaker 3: momentum at the plate.
- 4:38Speaker 1: For sure, And I think yeah, I think the winning
- 4:41Speaker 1: is the key part there. Like, if this team was
- 4:44Speaker 1: even where the Cubs are with their record right one
- 4:46Speaker 1: or two games over five hundred, like, I think changes
- 4:49Speaker 1: maybe would have been made already. But you're seventeen games over,
- 4:53Speaker 1: You're you know, you're the fastest the team the franchise
- 4:56Speaker 1: has ever gotten to forty wins, Like your game. Your
- 5:01Speaker 1: division lead is up to what five games over the Cardinals,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and you're continuing to lengthen that lead over the other
- 5:07Speaker 1: teams in the division. The Pirates got swept over the
- 5:09Speaker 1: weekend by the Braves. Cubs, you know, lose last night again.
- 5:13Speaker 1: They're seven and a half back now and the Reds
- 5:15Speaker 1: are are falling out of it. But so you have
- 5:18Speaker 1: that lead, you have your forty and twenty three record.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Like if this was a thirty three and thirty two
- 5:24Speaker 1: team or something, I think maybe changes on the left
- 5:26Speaker 1: side would have happened. But it's hard to disrupt a
- 5:28Speaker 1: team and make justifications for changes on a team that
- 5:33Speaker 1: is one of the best in baseball right now.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Hunter, that game on Friday was a tipping point. The
- 5:40Speaker 2: Brewers are looking nothing going at cors Field. They play
- 5:44Speaker 2: eight innings, they got one run and one hit and
- 5:47Speaker 2: then up winning. They put up nine runs in extra
- 5:51Speaker 2: innings and they win in ten. Like that is the
- 5:53Speaker 2: kind of team that you want to be, is that
- 5:54Speaker 2: you're never out of a game, and they're they're embodying
- 5:56Speaker 2: that right now. And to your point, it's the offense,
- 5:59Speaker 2: and it's up and down the lineup. It can happen anywhere.
- 6:02Speaker 2: The Hamilton power search was unexpected. They've been using their
- 6:04Speaker 2: speed all year. Harry Sanchez coming off the milk carton
- 6:08Speaker 2: and hitting a homer like we haven't seen this even
- 6:11Speaker 2: when they were rolling last year. We're still marveling at
- 6:14Speaker 2: miz and the pitching and drowing. Pitching into the seventh
- 6:16Speaker 2: is ridiculous because I don't think he had gone more
- 6:18Speaker 2: than four innings all year. But this offense, is it sustainable?
- 6:21Speaker 5: Is the question? Is it?
- 6:23Speaker 1: You know?
- 6:23Speaker 2: Is this the team that we expect? Is there still
- 6:26Speaker 2: room for improvement? Will people a week from now still
- 6:29Speaker 2: be saying they got the upgrade the left side of
- 6:31Speaker 2: the infield? Are we still gonna hear those things? Will
- 6:33Speaker 2: people relax for a while and enjoy what's happening.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I think we'll still hear those things. I don't disagree
- 6:38Speaker 1: that they need to. Like I think it would be
- 6:41Speaker 1: great if they could upgrade some over there. However, if
- 6:44Speaker 1: Hamilton is starting to come on, and Hamilton's continues to
- 6:47Speaker 1: do what he's doing, then I think you have at
- 6:50Speaker 1: least one of your answers on the left side of
- 6:51Speaker 1: the infield. Then it's like, Okay, do you want to
- 6:53Speaker 1: call up a Jet Williams or Cooper Pratt eventually and
- 6:56Speaker 1: take over. Jet Williams has played a lot more third
- 6:59Speaker 1: base than Cooper Pratt has. If you want Hamilton it's
- 7:01Speaker 1: short and then Joey Ortiz, you know, off the bench
- 7:04Speaker 1: utility role. Does that mean Luis Wren he fo's the
- 7:06Speaker 1: odd man out? So there's there's conversations to be had there.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I don't think it's something that I want to dismiss
- 7:12Speaker 1: just because they're seventeen games over five hundred, because I think, come,
- 7:16Speaker 1: you know, down in the stretch and into the postseason,
- 7:18Speaker 1: you want the best team out there that you can
- 7:20Speaker 1: you can put together. But it's hard to also say
- 7:23Speaker 1: to make any drastic moves when you are this good,
- 7:26Speaker 1: and I think that's that's the key to it. The offense,
- 7:29Speaker 1: You're just getting production from you're getting really high production
- 7:33Speaker 1: at the top of the lineup right now. When you
- 7:35Speaker 1: talk about obviously Bowers, I didn't mention him earlier. He's
- 7:37Speaker 1: just been awesome. He comes up in the he comes
- 7:41Speaker 1: up in the ninth and tenth, You just know something
- 7:42Speaker 1: good is going to happen with that guy strolls to
- 7:44Speaker 1: the plate, one of the clutchest players on the team
- 7:46Speaker 1: so far this year, and just the type of team
- 7:50Speaker 1: at bats we saw in the ninth and tenth innings
- 7:52Speaker 1: and last year, like you know, we talked about them
- 7:54Speaker 1: going twenty and four on a stretch and it's like, oh, okay,
- 7:57Speaker 1: they won't probably repeat that. Well, they went nineteen and
- 8:00Speaker 1: five on a stretch. They're twenty seven and tens in
- 8:02Speaker 1: April twenty six, like you mentioned, like this is a
- 8:05Speaker 1: team where they're starting to do stuff like they were
- 8:07Speaker 1: last year. You think about you think about all the
- 8:09Speaker 1: Brewers teams in franchise history, including last year's team that
- 8:12Speaker 1: won ninety seven games, and nobody got to forty wins
- 8:14Speaker 1: this fast, and it's like, Okay, well, if this is happening,
- 8:18Speaker 1: Matt Arnold's got to be sitting up there and thinking, yes,
- 8:20Speaker 1: we want to improve the team. And yes, there's no
- 8:22Speaker 1: doubt that this team, you know, you want to be
- 8:26Speaker 1: the best team that you can be come August, September
- 8:28Speaker 1: and October. But you also got to take into account. Okay,
- 8:32Speaker 1: something's obviously working here, so you don't want to make
- 8:35Speaker 1: you don't want to subtract in a way that is
- 8:38Speaker 1: maybe going to hurt the team.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I found remarkable, Hunter. It's like paces
- 8:42Speaker 4: like this.
- 8:42Speaker 3: I remember last year when the Brewers said that crazy
- 8:45Speaker 3: thirty and four run it and you know, so a
- 8:47Speaker 3: lot of their winning came later in the year, but
- 8:50Speaker 3: they kept setting sort of records, like every time you
- 8:52Speaker 3: heard it was like longest drink this or fastest and
- 8:55Speaker 3: then I look up and they say that fast at
- 8:56Speaker 3: a forty I'm like, wow, no other team because we
- 8:59Speaker 3: had had so much success. So it is amazing how
- 9:02Speaker 3: how used in a way to the winning we've been
- 9:04Speaker 3: And it's kind of an odd feeling.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Yeah, right, but for sure.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Yeah, but you.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Mentioned really quickly, did mention about, you know, shoring up weaknesses.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Bruis didn't make a trainer over the weekend.
- 9:15Speaker 3: It was Josh Kohonell right for Joe Cooell excuse me
- 9:19Speaker 3: from the A's that they went to God for cat
- 9:21Speaker 3: considerations of the bullpen arms.
- 9:22Speaker 4: So the Bruis did make a move there as well.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's funny because they're getting in from the
- 9:27Speaker 1: A's and then they're about to play the A's. Yeah,
- 9:29Speaker 1: so you know, you get some advanced scouting there from
- 9:32Speaker 1: from the new pitcher. But yeah, so that's that was
- 9:35Speaker 1: the That was the move Saturday evening. I mean, look,
- 9:37Speaker 1: they just needed a body at some point. I mean,
- 9:40Speaker 1: they obviously called up Drew rom for Brian Fitzpatrick, but
- 9:43Speaker 1: they needed they needed someone else who has experience. He
- 9:45Speaker 1: actually had two brief stints with the team in with
- 9:50Speaker 1: the Brewers in June and July of twenty twenty four.
- 9:53Speaker 1: He never ended up pitching in a game. He's been
- 9:56Speaker 1: in the major leagues with Cincinnati, Houston, Tampa this year.
- 9:59Speaker 1: He's went on then two with a four to one
- 10:01Speaker 1: ERA in four saves and twenty five relief appearances with
- 10:04Speaker 1: the A's. Uh, he surrendered four runs and two thirds
- 10:07Speaker 1: of an inning in his last outing at Wrigley on Thursday,
- 10:10Speaker 1: but that you take that appearance out and his ERA
- 10:12Speaker 1: is actually two eighty eight, so he's been overall good.
- 10:15Speaker 1: He just had a kind of a blip on the
- 10:17Speaker 1: radar there. It's kind of like the Trevor McGill thing, Like,
- 10:19Speaker 1: I know, he blew the save on Friday, but since
- 10:22Speaker 1: you know, between that blown same on Friday, in like
- 10:24Speaker 1: mid April, he'd been really good. But the era is
- 10:26Speaker 1: inflated because when those guys don't pitch a lot of innings,
- 10:29Speaker 1: any run they give up is going to inflate the era.
- 10:32Speaker 1: So that's kind of what happened with him. So yeah,
- 10:34Speaker 1: I would think that he'll be They made the forty
- 10:38Speaker 1: man move, meaning Quinn Priester was moved to the sixty
- 10:40Speaker 1: day il to so Kuna could be in, and so
- 10:44Speaker 1: he is going to be. Well he's on the forty man.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Now they'll have to make a move on the twenty
- 10:49Speaker 1: six man. Maybe that is Drew Ram and maybe Rom
- 10:51Speaker 1: goes back down. But then you're losing basically a lefty
- 10:54Speaker 1: because Rom is a left e. Branon Fitzpatrick was a lefty.
- 10:57Speaker 1: You're replacing d L. Hall who was a lefty. So
- 10:59Speaker 1: you're trying to keep that left he trend and keep
- 11:02Speaker 1: you know, your numbers there in the bullpen. But it
- 11:04Speaker 1: might not be possible right now, so you might. You
- 11:06Speaker 1: might keep Koonel over rom in that bullpen and we'll see.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And look, when the Burgers get a picture in usually
- 11:13Speaker 1: they're better than their numbers say, they will.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Just say, oh, yeah, let's let the pitching coaches get
- 11:20Speaker 3: out their hands. Yeah, you just expected to have success.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Let's face it, we've kind of inspread in that regard.
- 11:25Speaker 3: It's like Burr's bringing a picture. Oh, I'm sure he's
- 11:27Speaker 3: gonna crush like. That's just the way it's been. So
- 11:29Speaker 3: whether or not that continues, we'll see. But they obviously
- 11:32Speaker 3: have a strategy right hundred to identify something in talent
- 11:36Speaker 3: in what they're looking for in the picture, identify something
- 11:39Speaker 3: that they like and the work and mold from there.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Shane Drowan is a great example of it. Yesterday,
- 11:45Speaker 1: the guy hadn't completed drew like you mentioned, really more
- 11:48Speaker 1: than about four innings this season, and he hadn't completed
- 11:51Speaker 1: six and a third in his career majors or minors, like,
- 11:55Speaker 1: he had never gone that far and completed it out
- 11:57Speaker 1: in the seventh inning, And he hadn't gone six innings
- 11:59Speaker 1: since twenty twenty three. Again, majors or minors, and he
- 12:03Speaker 1: had just yesterday he was just cruising. The pitch count
- 12:06Speaker 1: was low. Why not save your bullpen, you know, for
- 12:08Speaker 1: a for a series in Vegas where it's gonna be
- 12:11Speaker 1: hitter friendly again and playing in a minor league park.
- 12:14Speaker 1: So I think it was smart to just let him roll.
- 12:16Speaker 1: And it shows the growth that Drowan has had this year,
- 12:19Speaker 1: just even this year, being able to go from a
- 12:23Speaker 1: really a starter when he made his major league debut
- 12:25Speaker 1: in Boston, to relieve her for a while and now
- 12:28Speaker 1: back to his starter and to go six and the third.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I mean, boy, that was impressive yesterday. And I know
- 12:33Speaker 1: he gave up three runs, but it just that's a
- 12:35Speaker 1: quality start right there, gets you deep into the game.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Patrick goes, you know, an inning and two thirds and
- 12:40Speaker 1: then you got Craig Gioho to finish it off. I
- 12:44Speaker 1: know he gave up a home run, but I'm interested
- 12:46Speaker 1: to see what he can do. I mean, there's a chance,
- 12:48Speaker 1: I guess he would go down for Koonel, but I
- 12:50Speaker 1: would think they want to see what he has a
- 12:51Speaker 1: little more because he's pitched so well. He has like
- 12:54Speaker 1: a one era in Nashville so far this season. So
- 12:58Speaker 1: I'm excited to see them a little more. But yeah,
- 13:01Speaker 1: Drowan is a good example that where they target a
- 13:03Speaker 1: guy and they say, you know what we want Kyle Harrison,
- 13:05Speaker 1: but we also want Drolling and if Hamilton coming is
- 13:08Speaker 1: coming on, I know what they're starting to be. Every
- 13:10Speaker 1: time these guys, whether it's Drowan, Harrison or Hamilton, do something,
- 13:14Speaker 1: you start to see the Boston fans come out of
- 13:16Speaker 1: the woodwork and be like, I still can't believe we
- 13:18Speaker 1: did that trade. And you know, so we'll see it.
- 13:22Speaker 2: It is weird to have a three to get three
- 13:24Speaker 2: players back and they're all performing better than who you
- 13:26Speaker 2: sent away. Like usually it's like one guy's good and
- 13:29Speaker 2: then the other. You know, it's like whoa. That makes
- 13:32Speaker 2: this one of the more lopsided trades. And recent Brewers
- 13:35Speaker 2: memory is like, holy cow, that is it's something else Hunter.
- 13:39Speaker 2: We always say on the on the show, and you know,
- 13:42Speaker 2: the vibe just just win series. Just be that the
- 13:45Speaker 2: Brewers are becoming an arm and alluded to her earlier
- 13:47Speaker 2: that we're getting spoiled. They're almost becoming like the Braves
- 13:49Speaker 2: of the nineties where they come into town and they
- 13:52Speaker 2: come in with a Kerry briefcases, and they're like these
- 13:55Speaker 2: they're very surgical and they just take two out of
- 13:57Speaker 2: three and leave town or sweep you like it's one
- 14:01Speaker 2: or the other. The Birds haven't lost a series since
- 14:03Speaker 2: that Dodgers series, right, I mean, if my math is right,
- 14:07Speaker 2: that's the only series they lost.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And that's the only one since the Pirates series.
- 14:14Speaker 2: So since May first, they've lost one series. Now, they
- 14:16Speaker 2: had the there's an asterisk because they they were one
- 14:19Speaker 2: and one in Saint Louis with a rainout. But other
- 14:21Speaker 2: than that, they've been winning series and they've had like
- 14:23Speaker 2: what was there, well in the four gamer the split.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Yep. So they're nine and one and two in their
- 14:30Speaker 1: last twelve series. That is how it goes out the.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Definition of winning baseball and dominant baseball. To go nine
- 14:39Speaker 2: to one and two in the series, you can't ask
- 14:43Speaker 2: for much more now, No, No.
- 14:47Speaker 1: The Brave, the Braves are I saw the Braves over
- 14:49Speaker 1: the weekend have won eighteen of their twenty one series.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I believe this season they're like you think, like they're
- 14:56Speaker 1: just rolls under the radar.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Pirate, Yeah, they're kind of like they're not getting a
- 15:00Speaker 2: lot of attention, but they're just they're just mashing like
- 15:03Speaker 2: they're it's ridiculous. Like their run differential is plus one sixteen,
- 15:07Speaker 2: which is at this point of the year, at this
- 15:10Speaker 2: point there, but the Brewers are right with them at
- 15:12Speaker 2: one oh five.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Yeah, they've they've been incredible. I mean the thing when
- 15:15Speaker 3: you look at those the run differential and the Pythagoran
- 15:18Speaker 3: and all those things. Oh yeah, it's not like there's
- 15:20Speaker 3: any smoke and mirrors aspect to this team.
- 15:22Speaker 4: This isn't the this hasn't been like the.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Craig councole a lot of one run wins type of
- 15:27Speaker 3: situation that they Brewers had some years, which is fine,
- 15:30Speaker 3: but it's just it's not been that the Brewers have had.
- 15:32Speaker 3: You know, they've had their share of offensive outbursts that
- 15:35Speaker 3: have helped that number, so that those are all good signs.
- 15:40Speaker 1: The Dodgers are the Dodgers. I didn't realize this. They're
- 15:43Speaker 1: plus one thirty three. Oh yeah, I mean they scored
- 15:46Speaker 1: nine runs in the first inning the other night and
- 15:48Speaker 1: that's all they needed for the entire game.
- 15:50Speaker 2: You can make a case the Dodgers are underperforming because
- 15:53Speaker 2: based on the numbers, they should be like a couple
- 15:55Speaker 2: wins better than they are and they're looking up at
- 15:59Speaker 2: the Braves.
- 16:00Speaker 3: So I was rounding a lot of Dodger fans over
- 16:02Speaker 3: the weekend and they were talking about their team and
- 16:04Speaker 3: show Ay and how Wash always pitching as well now
- 16:07Speaker 3: and like they're talking about how it's a down offensive
- 16:09Speaker 3: year for him, and those down numbers are still as
- 16:12Speaker 3: good as any numbers are going to have in baseball,
- 16:14Speaker 3: so there's really no comparison for him.
- 16:16Speaker 4: So yeah, what they're doing is crazy as well. So
- 16:19Speaker 4: it's just it's been.
- 16:20Speaker 3: It's shaping up to be a unique year in the
- 16:22Speaker 3: MLB and we're in the middle of it, which is, yeah,
- 16:24Speaker 3: this is good.
- 16:24Speaker 5: It's gonna be epic.

- 19:56Speaker 4: Or maybe we can get Russell, you can get Russelled
- 19:57Speaker 4: to just play your own play show for you.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Personally, I could have done you a favor and had
- 20:01Speaker 2: it be on the Thursday before that series.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Could have Yeah, that would have been because yeah, sometimes
- 20:08Speaker 3: that's the way it goes.
- 20:08Speaker 2: But I mean, well, think about what that weekend is
- 20:10Speaker 2: going to be like in town with Summerfest and Brewers Cubs. Oh,
- 20:14Speaker 2: just gonna be crazy. It going to be that might
- 20:17Speaker 2: be the highlight. That might be the best weekend of
- 20:19Speaker 2: the summer.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Yeah, the weekend before fourth of July two Like, oh boy, yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 1: that is going to be. Yeah, that's going to be

- 20:31Speaker 1: not much not many concerts like an r D party.
- 20:34Speaker 1: So whoever wins these tickets throughout the week.
- 20:37Speaker 3: You can get by the way, on our men's page
- 20:39Speaker 3: at FSR nine twenty dot com.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Are we all getting the third off because of the
- 20:43Speaker 2: fourth of July is the Saturday this year.
- 20:45Speaker 4: That's what I was open. Where's our day? I don't
- 20:47Speaker 4: know what this is in trupid leaders, that's the process.
- 20:50Speaker 5: I know we won't but I just mean in general.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Yeah, the people, well the civilians who don't work in
- 20:55Speaker 2: our industry, you know they should. Yeah, well, our fans.
- 20:59Speaker 2: It's smart and looking listeners.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Oh.
- 21:00Speaker 2: By the way, boys, I met a couple of smart,
- 21:02Speaker 2: good looking listeners over the weekend. I always like it
- 21:05Speaker 2: when people pop up and a couple of people say that,
- 21:08Speaker 2: you know, the people who get up early appreciate that
- 21:12Speaker 2: we're on early. Yes, but there's a life hack because
- 21:14Speaker 2: I met Dan at my favorite establishment, the Palapa at
- 21:18Speaker 2: the Saint Paul Fish Market call it the Tiki bar.
- 21:22Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the proper name.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Met this young listener, Dan, who listens to us and
- 21:28Speaker 2: he wakes up. He works early, but he wakes up
- 21:31Speaker 2: and goes back on the YouTube stream and joins us
- 21:34Speaker 2: from the beginning, and so he's a streamer and that
- 21:36Speaker 2: that's the advantage. It's like having your DVR of going
- 21:39Speaker 2: back and listening to the whole show and picking us
- 21:41Speaker 2: up wherever you may be. That's the advantage of streaming today.
- 21:44Speaker 2: And so I've talked to a number of people who
- 21:46Speaker 2: do that.
- 21:47Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, I don't.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Get up until six thirty, but I go back and
- 21:50Speaker 2: I hear the whole show, and I'm like, we love
- 21:52Speaker 2: you for that.
- 21:53Speaker 5: That's a good life hack, good reminder.
- 21:55Speaker 4: You can do that. You can.
- 21:56Speaker 3: I think YouTube's the best way to do it, but
- 21:57Speaker 3: obviously our links are through Facebook and Twitter.
- 22:00Speaker 4: That's a great way to do it.
- 22:01Speaker 3: If if the show doesn't start when you wake up,
- 22:04Speaker 3: you can always start from the beginning and do that
- 22:06Speaker 3: whole thing until you get live to the show. So,
- 22:09Speaker 3: like you said, it's like a DBR thing, Drew, And
- 22:12Speaker 3: thankfully so far, not enough happens live in the five
- 22:16Speaker 3: am hour, where it's two times sensitive.
- 22:18Speaker 4: Where you where you would be thrown off by it.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Like you know, well, if you missed the five o'clock
- 22:22Speaker 2: hour today, you missed me talking to Armin about his
- 22:24Speaker 2: bachelor party weekend in South Beach. Sorry, and then my
- 22:27Speaker 2: wedding experience. Yeah, from Saturday night when I've never seen Hunter.
- 22:31Speaker 2: You've been to a lot of weddings like this was
- 22:33Speaker 2: like it was a buffet set up, and when they
- 22:35Speaker 2: called to dinner, they didn't do it by tables. They said,
- 22:36Speaker 2: all right, ladies first, because they wanted people on the
- 22:39Speaker 2: dance floor right when the DJ fired up, so they
- 22:41Speaker 2: had and they know women are more likely to get
- 22:43Speaker 2: the party started, so they let the ladies eat first.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Interesting, that's yeah, that's an interesting way.
- 22:49Speaker 2: So if you were there with your plus one, you
- 22:52Speaker 2: she's gotta go up and you gotta wait.
- 22:54Speaker 4: Then that was you know, Yeah, but then you're not
- 22:56Speaker 4: eating or dancing with your novel. Yeah what I thought?
- 23:00Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think, I I yeah, Because then
- 23:04Speaker 1: you're right, you're not. You're not even eating dinner with
- 23:06Speaker 1: your with your spouse or whoever.
- 23:08Speaker 5: Well, they were lingering. Women do eat slower than most dudes.
- 23:12Speaker 4: That's true, most dudes. You know, guys are shoveling.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Basically, every time my wife and I go out to dinner,
- 23:19Speaker 2: she's like amazed, like you're done already, Like have you
- 23:22Speaker 2: just met me?
- 23:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a slow eater, so it works.
- 23:26Speaker 4: I'm fast, But most dudes aren't fast.
- 23:28Speaker 5: I'm a speed eater.
- 23:29Speaker 3: Now, you didn't have an issue with the buffet, like
- 23:31Speaker 3: the out of the potatoes or something like that.
- 23:34Speaker 4: No, yeah, they were. They were keeping a good stock plentifully.
- 23:37Speaker 4: That's good. That was interesting, you know.
- 23:40Speaker 3: Just that's the type of stuff you miss in our
- 23:42Speaker 3: full disclosure five am hour.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But I well, we but we appreciate it. In fact,
- 23:46Speaker 2: we have to. We might have to start catering to
- 23:49Speaker 2: the early birds. We call them, you know, Insomniac's early
- 23:51Speaker 2: risers and sociopaths.
- 23:52Speaker 4: But we say it with love. Oh absolutely, but we
- 23:56Speaker 4: love you.
- 23:56Speaker 2: We might have to create like the five o'clock Club
- 23:58Speaker 2: for people that are with us at five am from
- 24:00Speaker 2: the beginning of the show to reward them, you know,
- 24:03Speaker 2: like that special giveaways or just some special love.
- 24:06Speaker 4: You know, I do like that.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Although we might have to get like trademark rights away
- 24:11Speaker 3: from the restaurant in town.
- 24:12Speaker 5: There's a couple of restaurants in town.
- 24:14Speaker 2: There's one in Pewaukee, I think, and one downtown, the
- 24:16Speaker 2: Steakhouse five o'clock.
- 24:17Speaker 5: And I'm a big fan of vote establishment for five
- 24:19Speaker 5: o'clock Black.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Still one of the great places in town. So no,
- 24:22Speaker 3: you never know, maybe that's a partnership opportunity. Yeah, what
- 24:25Speaker 3: can happenings happen.
- 24:26Speaker 2: All right, So Hunter, while you were watching the Brewers
- 24:29Speaker 2: from Afar this weekend as they're on the road, did
- 24:33Speaker 2: you were you aware? I don't think you attended, but
- 24:35Speaker 2: were you aware of what happened with Banana Ball and
- 24:37Speaker 2: the phenomenon that hit American Family Field with two sold
- 24:40Speaker 2: out crowds and basically a playoff like atmosphere. The photos
- 24:44Speaker 2: I saw of the pregame tailgate and the music and
- 24:48Speaker 2: stuff was just the.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Place was rocking. Yeah, that was really impressive. I didn't
- 24:53Speaker 1: really know what to expect. Yeah. I did not make
- 24:55Speaker 1: it to either game, but I but you know, it's
- 24:57Speaker 1: interesting they team they televised it on the Seat W
- 25:00Speaker 1: and so on Saturday before the Brewers game. I was
- 25:04Speaker 1: just I was just like, you know what, I want
- 25:05Speaker 1: to see what this is looking like. And I had
- 25:07Speaker 1: seen that they were going to televise it. I can't
- 25:09Speaker 1: remember where I saw that once, and I'm like, you know,
- 25:11Speaker 1: I just want to see what's going on there, and
- 25:14Speaker 1: it kind of captivated me for like a good half
- 25:16Speaker 1: hour before the Brewers came on, and I'm like this
- 25:18Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. I mean it was entertaining. You know,
- 25:21Speaker 1: it's a little it's obviously like theatrical. It's all kind
- 25:24Speaker 1: of you know, a little over the top and a way,
- 25:26Speaker 1: but that's purposeful and it's been really successful. And I
- 25:29Speaker 1: think for the Party Animals, this was their first headliner game,
- 25:34Speaker 1: so like they had not they had any game there
- 25:36Speaker 1: in a big stadium. It had been with the with
- 25:39Speaker 1: the Savannah Bananas. I believe that's how it had worked.
- 25:42Speaker 1: And so he was they were talking to one of
- 25:44Speaker 1: the players like during the one of the innings down
- 25:47Speaker 1: in the field and the guy's like, yeah, this is
- 25:49Speaker 1: like this is like a dream come true, Like who knows,
- 25:51Speaker 1: Like who would have thought this could have turned into
- 25:53Speaker 1: what this is now? And having two sold out head
- 25:57Speaker 1: I think it was very It was kind of new
- 25:59Speaker 1: for the Banana I think Championship League is the league. Yeah, yeah,
- 26:02Speaker 1: it was kind of new for them to go and
- 26:05Speaker 1: have headliners without the Savannah Bananas, who are like the
- 26:08Speaker 1: headline the Harlem Globetrotter right of this whole league. And
- 26:13Speaker 1: so they kind of stepped out of their comfort zone
- 26:15Speaker 1: and did that in Milwaukee, and Milwaukee was kind of
- 26:17Speaker 1: the test run and to sell out both days, and yeah,
- 26:20Speaker 1: it was really neat and the trick plays and just
- 26:23Speaker 1: and some of the players too. I didn't realize, like
- 26:25Speaker 1: they're seeing some of these guys' credentials and know this
- 26:28Speaker 1: guy played college baseball at you know, Indiana or you
- 26:30Speaker 1: know these like these guys are this guy was drafted
- 26:33Speaker 1: by the Astros and like, yeah, some.
- 26:36Speaker 5: Of them are Milkmen guys right in that league.
- 26:38Speaker 3: And I think it's cool that we could show that
- 26:40Speaker 3: not to be I mean, I don't know if it's
- 26:42Speaker 3: a silly notion to some maybe, but you know the
- 26:45Speaker 3: fact that Milwaukee could show it's its strength as a
- 26:48Speaker 3: baseball fan base, as a market, as a as a
- 26:51Speaker 3: community that likes to come watch and support that we
- 26:54Speaker 3: were the first ones to show that we could do
- 26:56Speaker 3: it when it's not the headliner team probably means a
- 26:58Speaker 3: lot to the league, means a lot to them, and
- 27:00Speaker 3: they know, I would imagine that means they're going to
- 27:02Speaker 3: be coming back at some point when they know they
- 27:04Speaker 3: can get the audience. You know, Drew, when the Braves left,
- 27:07Speaker 3: it was but to get a team back, but had
- 27:10Speaker 3: Bud got a bunch of exhibition games.
- 27:12Speaker 5: Yeah, and then White Sox regular season.
- 27:14Speaker 3: And they were always sold out fifty one thousand at
- 27:17Speaker 3: Connie Stadium. That was a big deal to show baseball
- 27:20Speaker 3: that the Brewers could support major and Walkie could support
- 27:22Speaker 3: Major League Baseball again. So you know, it's a loose
- 27:25Speaker 3: connection maybe, but it's not that much different to what
- 27:27Speaker 3: you saw this weekend.
- 27:28Speaker 4: I thought that was pretty cool.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff and Fox Point Tech sed us earlier and
- 27:32Speaker 2: we can revisit this.
- 27:33Speaker 5: He said.
- 27:33Speaker 2: His family went to Banana Ball on Sunday, as did
- 27:35Speaker 2: Billy Schmid and the Schmid family. He said, I get
- 27:38Speaker 2: the entertainment, including the music, dancing, and games, was good,
- 27:41Speaker 2: but the actual baseball game was subpar.
- 27:43Speaker 5: My kids liked the party, the mascot.
- 27:46Speaker 2: My baseball playing kids were also confused by the whacked
- 27:48Speaker 2: out rules one and done for us. So Ben there
- 27:52Speaker 2: done that. I think a lot of people who went
- 27:54Speaker 2: would say, oh, I'm going back. I would go back,
- 27:56Speaker 2: you know, and because it's just a party and it's
- 28:00Speaker 2: all not enalty. Yeah, it's a celebration.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Yeah right, Well that's yeah, that's the thing. I mean,
- 28:05Speaker 1: it's it's you're not going to see the highest level
- 28:08Speaker 1: of baseball in that. I mean, it's they're not even
- 28:10Speaker 1: trying to be the highest level of baseball either. You know,
- 28:12Speaker 1: they're obviously they're trying, and but they're not. It's it's
- 28:16Speaker 1: they're also trying to do trick plays and catch balls
- 28:18Speaker 1: behind their back and there's there's different parts of that
- 28:21Speaker 1: that aren't going to be like that. But but yeah,
- 28:24Speaker 1: like you said, you're I feel like this really shows well,
- 28:27Speaker 1: like you both said, like it shows them the baseball
- 28:30Speaker 1: town that it is. I mean, you sell out two
- 28:32Speaker 1: games of this type of baseball and there's a lot
- 28:35Speaker 1: of fans I think probably that went to these games
- 28:39Speaker 1: that maybe wouldn't go to a to a lot of
- 28:41Speaker 1: Brewers games. Right, this is just a different, different kind
- 28:44Speaker 1: of sport and entertainment that you could take the family to.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Of Brewers games are obviously awesome for families as well,
- 28:51Speaker 1: but this is a this is different and to to
- 28:53Speaker 1: basically put what eighty thousand fans in the seats over
- 28:57Speaker 1: two days, and and it's not like you had, you know,
- 29:01Speaker 1: when when the Cubs come in town or the Cardinals
- 29:03Speaker 1: or something, you have a contingent of those other fans
- 29:05Speaker 1: who travel maybe or come out of the woodwork to
- 29:07Speaker 1: go to those games. This is not oh, this is
- 29:09Speaker 1: us all people in the area, in the state that
- 29:12Speaker 1: wanted to see, you know, this type of spectacle. So
- 29:15Speaker 1: I'm sure there are people like like Jeff Gorgon maybe
- 29:18Speaker 1: gonna be one and done, but I'm sure there are
- 29:19Speaker 1: a lot of people who would like to see it
- 29:21Speaker 1: again and and just to experience it. And it was cool.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I I it was cool that they televised it too.
- 29:27Speaker 1: The announcers kind of played into the whole thing and
- 29:29Speaker 1: very uh you know, kind of just dramatic with it all.
- 29:32Speaker 1: They had a bar school guy in the booth for
- 29:34Speaker 1: a couple of moments, so it was cool. It was
- 29:36Speaker 1: just a kind of a whole theatrical entertainment thing. It
- 29:39Speaker 1: was at the basis of it. It's entertainment. Funny thing
- 29:42Speaker 1: about that. And when I was back just out of college,
- 29:45Speaker 1: I remember I would check this. There's a specific site
- 29:49Speaker 1: for like this is like inside Baseball but like Sportscasters.
- 29:52Speaker 1: I think it's a Sportscasters Talent Agency of America, and
- 29:55Speaker 1: they would post jobs for announcers. Was just at a college. Yeah,
- 29:59Speaker 1: I'm looking what's open. The Savannah Bananas were hiring their
- 30:02Speaker 1: very first announcers like when they first were being like
- 30:07Speaker 1: kind of thinking of this idea, and I remember reading
- 30:09Speaker 1: the job description and be like, what in the world
- 30:11Speaker 1: is this? Like what like it's not They're like they stressed,
- 30:15Speaker 1: like this is not your typical play by play job
- 30:17Speaker 1: and everything, and I was kind of looking at them like,
- 30:19Speaker 1: I don't know what they're trying to do here, but
- 30:21Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be successful. Look
- 30:23Speaker 1: five six years later, they are rolling and sell it
- 30:26Speaker 1: out major League.
- 30:26Speaker 3: St and the novelty, And the novelty is the draw.
- 30:29Speaker 3: If it were a regular game at that level, you're
- 30:32Speaker 3: not really going to sell out a major league park
- 30:33Speaker 3: for a single league game probably.
- 30:35Speaker 1: You know.
- 30:35Speaker 4: So that's the reality of it.
- 30:36Speaker 3: And the fact that it doesn't come around that often,
- 30:38Speaker 3: I think helps Could they do it for eighty games,
- 30:40Speaker 3: maybe not, But the fact that this is the first
- 30:42Speaker 3: chance to see it, So that's part of the draw,
- 30:44Speaker 3: and that's okay.
- 30:45Speaker 4: It's been a great idea, a great marketing idea.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Like Derek said, if you want to watch real baseball,
- 30:49Speaker 3: Derek Whitewater said this, if you want to watch real baseball,
- 30:51Speaker 3: there's eighty one of.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Their home games come do it, you know, we feel free.
- 30:54Speaker 3: So that's great to see and it's a it's a
- 30:57Speaker 3: nice little novelty to have in town. It's pretty cool
- 30:59Speaker 3: that they tell Why is that I didn't know that
- 31:00Speaker 3: they locally so because I know they've been on.
- 31:03Speaker 4: YouTube that's where they started.
- 31:05Speaker 3: And then they added that ESPN plus the Disney kind
- 31:08Speaker 3: of partnership because that's always in the Roku app when
- 31:10Speaker 3: I pull it up there and you can watch it.
- 31:12Speaker 4: So kudos. It's another fun thing to have in town.
- 31:16Speaker 4: So I'm glad it worked out.
