- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh my god, this man's been on all nine armand sorry,
- 0:04Speaker 1: don't get scam.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin is on the edge in a
- 0:10Speaker 2: limited role backup catcher Bill Schroeder swung a big stick,
- 0:14Speaker 2: hitting three point thirty two with fourteen o'brons and forty
- 0:17Speaker 2: two RBIs. Schroeder's role was limited to seventy five games,
- 0:22Speaker 2: but not play his lack of talent. Rather, it was
- 0:25Speaker 2: by the emergence of the pure baseball potage named Bj Shuraf.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Bj Surroff is a super talent. He can hit, and
- 0:32Speaker 3: he's going to hit. He's gonna hit better than he
- 0:33Speaker 3: hit this year. He certainly has potential to lead the
- 0:36Speaker 3: league in hitting. And along with that, he's emerging as
- 0:38Speaker 3: just a very fine defensive catcher.
- 0:40Speaker 1: He's got quick feet, he's got a good.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Accurate throwing arm. I'm very happy, the coaches are very happy,
- 0:45Speaker 3: the rest of the club is very happy with just
- 0:47Speaker 3: Bj Surhoff being BJ Surhoff. And sometimes he has a
- 0:50Speaker 3: tendency to want to be a little bit more than that.
- 0:51Speaker 3: He doesn't have to be because he is such a
- 0:53Speaker 3: rare fine talent. To go along with that, he's very young,
- 0:55Speaker 3: with a lot of years to play. So he's an
- 0:57Speaker 3: exciting player.
- 1:00Speaker 1: There's the rabbit hole.
- 1:00Speaker 4: I sent Arman down already talking about the nineteen eighty
- 1:03Speaker 4: five Baseball draft.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Now there you go, treb Way to tamp down expectations.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Treb he just seeds to mister happy bjson happy bj s.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Hell of a career man again, like twenty three hundred
- 1:14Speaker 4: hits played nineteen seasons.
- 1:17Speaker 5: I mean his his year that he left in his
- 1:20Speaker 5: thirty thirty year year of eighteen thirty, age thirty season
- 1:25Speaker 5: hits three twenty with a slug just under five walks
- 1:29Speaker 5: into free agency.
- 1:30Speaker 1: He's feeling himself at that point. Come on, now fully
- 1:32Speaker 1: developed at that started to hit with power later on.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I did like that.
- 1:35Speaker 6: They kind of not quite as straight on Rock, but
- 1:39Speaker 6: they did. They did say he swung a big dick.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Well, yeah, those a pretty good numbers for Rock. You
- 1:43Speaker 4: could play that part. You could play that part. When
- 1:45Speaker 4: Rock joins us today at seven twenty five. I should
- 1:47Speaker 4: have I should have kind of checked those.
- 1:49Speaker 1: You could.
- 1:49Speaker 4: You couldn't help yourself, Yeah, you couldn't help yourself. Arm
- 1:52Speaker 4: got too excited. Yeah, because it's magic, miracles and true believers.
- 1:56Speaker 6: That's right, And to be honest with you a little
- 1:57Speaker 6: bit of formatics. You probably not the right way to
- 1:59Speaker 6: open an hour with the like a highlight that.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I sent you down that rabbit hole. You got too excited.
- 2:05Speaker 1: That's too excited. It doesn't matter. You can watch this
- 2:09Speaker 1: whole thing. Man, it's awesome. So is this.
- 2:11Speaker 5: This is the one that I watched with smoking the
- 2:13Speaker 5: bear beginning of it. Okay, I just got to get
- 2:15Speaker 5: past the Jim Gantner smoking the bear at first because
- 2:18Speaker 5: it was good.
- 2:19Speaker 1: That's pretty creepy.
- 2:20Speaker 6: I'm also posted the eight these scary drew creepy. It
- 2:24Speaker 6: was very intense. Maybe we should start buy or sell
- 2:27Speaker 6: on this because it is Tuesday. Do you want to
- 2:29Speaker 6: start buy or sell?
- 2:30Speaker 1: Guys? Bring back the video yearbook like that? Like we oh, yeah,
- 2:34Speaker 1: the highlight film.
- 2:35Speaker 6: We get highlights now, so so calm and ubiquitously.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Okay, we get it. We get so much highlights. We
- 2:41Speaker 1: can get anything we want. We can get fifteen minutes
- 2:43Speaker 1: of pilights in every year.
- 2:43Speaker 4: I watched them ontage the other day and I'm not
- 2:46Speaker 4: arming sorry, and I don't seek out sports highlights as
- 2:49Speaker 4: a hobby, but if they show up in my feet,
- 2:50Speaker 4: like especially on Twitter X, I saw somebody do a
- 2:54Speaker 4: mashup of like Donald Driver great catches, Oh yeah, for sure,
- 2:57Speaker 4: smokes good.
- 3:00Speaker 1: He was a.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Problem or that guy rocked. Those accounts are some of
- 3:04Speaker 5: the best to be able to.
- 3:04Speaker 4: And then watching like Davonte get off the line and
- 3:07Speaker 4: get open and stuff some of the routes. But driver
- 3:10Speaker 4: Jordan Nelson's highlight reel, it's pretty impressive.
- 3:12Speaker 6: Always fun group with Jennings and even the early Jamon
- 3:15Speaker 6: Walker days. You just forget the consistent thousands and thousands
- 3:19Speaker 6: of yards of production that offense with Aaron, those receivers
- 3:23Speaker 6: incredible stuff.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Well, and Drew, you asked me a couple of days,
- 3:25Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, like do you watch these
- 3:27Speaker 5: because this is NFL network rerun season right now they
- 3:31Speaker 5: become TBS of football where it's just saved by the
- 3:34Speaker 5: bell reruns and it's you know, twenty twelve Week one
- 3:38Speaker 5: games that they were running through and whatever it was
- 3:41Speaker 5: Packers and forty nine ers. I watched like two drives
- 3:43Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, that was fun. But
- 3:45Speaker 5: the yearbook thing that you mentioned, Arman, they used to do.
- 3:48Speaker 5: NFL films used to do that for every single team,
- 3:51Speaker 5: every team, every day, and this is the time we're
- 3:53Speaker 5: on ESPN two or on NFL network. You would see
- 3:56Speaker 5: all the teams in two thousand and five didn't win
- 4:00Speaker 5: the Super Bowl.
- 4:01Speaker 6: They would just air him over and over and over,
- 4:03Speaker 6: and you see all those teams playing them. Yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 5: I don't know that we desperately need that back, but
- 4:08Speaker 5: there is a market for it.
- 4:09Speaker 6: There are a lot that you don't need to see.
- 4:11Speaker 6: I mean, in terms of being a neutral observer, like
- 4:13Speaker 6: a casual observer, I don't need to see the ninety
- 4:17Speaker 6: you know four Buccaneers like whatever, they probably won like
- 4:20Speaker 6: three or four games that year.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I don't need to hear how NFL film spun it.
- 4:24Speaker 6: Toy like Eric thrhtt is an improving running back, and
- 4:27Speaker 6: you know, like excuse watch some of those old Packers ones,
- 4:30Speaker 6: like if you can find them from the eighties. The
- 4:32Speaker 6: way they try to spin it. I mean, it's a
- 4:34Speaker 6: lot of fun to kind of observe. But that's because
- 4:36Speaker 6: we're Packer fans. So it would be nice and maybe
- 4:39Speaker 6: they're gonna eventually make like team centric channels for each
- 4:43Speaker 6: each fan base with on NFL you know network now
- 4:46Speaker 6: that ESPN. That would be an interesting screaming idea, but
- 4:49Speaker 6: he might be right, Billy, maybe we don't need all
- 4:51Speaker 6: those or if we get them, we don't need to
- 4:53Speaker 6: watch them all the time.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Right.
- 4:55Speaker 5: I think that also might be the case. He desperately
- 4:57Speaker 5: don't need to watch them all the time. But when
- 4:59Speaker 5: they pop up, it's hard to turn away from, you know,
- 5:01Speaker 5: the twenty twelve packers continuing the like, that's just the
- 5:04Speaker 5: doughnut in the box.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I can't walk past, you know, that's just what it is.
- 5:07Speaker 1: You can get so excited. Oh shit, do.
- 5:11Speaker 6: You want to start with some of the the buyer
- 5:12Speaker 6: cells are coming in?
- 5:13Speaker 1: Guys? I don't know. Oh, let's go, come on, let's go.
- 5:16Speaker 6: Johnny Cribbage Brews, no rentals, win the World Series?
- 5:19Speaker 1: With who brung you?
- 5:20Speaker 6: Well?
- 5:21Speaker 1: I would say if we won the World Series, I'm
- 5:22Speaker 1: fine with it. But I don't know that you can
- 5:24Speaker 1: guarantee that. Yah. I don't know that I can. I'm
- 5:26Speaker 1: not thinking that is no, I don't think that's possible.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I have to make a.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Move more than anything. I don't know that you're gonna
- 5:34Speaker 5: the one win the world I don't know you're winning
- 5:36Speaker 5: the division if you're not helping yourself out. Because interesting,
- 5:38Speaker 5: as much as this gets to it's going to be
- 5:40Speaker 5: an arms race. You're four and a half games up,
- 5:43Speaker 5: five games up of the Cubs, and you know they're
- 5:46Speaker 5: going to add right now, right like right now, the
- 5:49Speaker 5: way that they rolled into the break. Uh, they're going
- 5:52Speaker 5: to be extremely motivated and extremely hype. They won twenty
- 5:56Speaker 5: and eight in their last twenty eight games, and they've
- 5:58Speaker 5: already spent money, so you know that they're going to
- 6:00Speaker 5: try to double it down and add to it. They've
- 6:03Speaker 5: made it through a ton of injuries on the pitching side,
- 6:05Speaker 5: and they're probably gonna add two legit arms. And I
- 6:08Speaker 5: think you need to add at least one legit arm
- 6:11Speaker 5: in the rotation and one in the bullpen, if not
- 6:13Speaker 5: too in the rotation, and then try to figure out
- 6:15Speaker 5: the bullpen. Like Wisconsin sports fanatica buying or selling Freddie Peralta,
- 6:20Speaker 5: should the Brewish trade for Freddy I I don't think.
- 6:23Speaker 5: I think that's a perfect example of the kind of
- 6:27Speaker 5: player that they'll try to grab Drew where it's ben good.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Maybe in a down year, maybe Chris hook can put
- 6:34Speaker 5: some magic pixie dust on it.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I just don't know.
- 6:37Speaker 5: They talked about it and how I met your mother
- 6:38Speaker 5: about a re return where you re return to the
- 6:41Speaker 5: girl that you maybe try to try to see if
- 6:43Speaker 5: you could find that day. I don't know that David
- 6:45Speaker 5: Searns is gonna let Freddy Peralta re return to the boat.
- 6:47Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. And I don't think that's
- 6:50Speaker 4: his numbers are dipping. The fastball is not fastball. Freddy's
- 6:54Speaker 4: not throwing with the bite that he has the you know.
- 6:57Speaker 1: You might have gotten all the best innings.
- 6:59Speaker 4: The Burst did a pretty good job on him and
- 7:01Speaker 4: get rid of him when they did. Although I will say,
- 7:04Speaker 4: like if it was between him and Brandon Murder, if
- 7:07Speaker 4: at least Freddy Proulta still takes the ball every fifth day,
- 7:09Speaker 4: Brandon would have making twenty plus million.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Freddy was making eight making eight.
- 7:13Speaker 6: But the Mets are gonna spin him off to somebody, right,
- 7:15Speaker 6: They're gonna take whatever bad.
- 7:16Speaker 4: I don't he doesn't side of Milwaukee. He doesn't have
- 7:19Speaker 4: a lot of value.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Okay. I think people see the potential and like, we
- 7:23Speaker 1: don't get a cheap starter. I don't think so.
- 7:25Speaker 4: All right, cheap starter who's most teams have guys that
- 7:28Speaker 4: are that effect. Look at his numbers this year, and
- 7:30Speaker 4: then I look at the stuff. They're not good lately
- 7:32Speaker 4: for sure, and he's he's doing his Friday stuff of like,
- 7:35Speaker 4: you know, you want a guy like that that you're
- 7:36Speaker 4: going to trade for to give you innings, and he's
- 7:39Speaker 4: looking in the dugout.
- 7:39Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got one hundred and fifth, one hundred and
- 7:41Speaker 5: four innings on twenty starts.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's.
- 7:44Speaker 4: Big five exactly five and dive and that's not you know,
- 7:48Speaker 4: that's what you're gonna get.
- 7:49Speaker 6: But if the price is low, though, I'm surprised if
- 7:51Speaker 6: no one takes a place well maybe right, I don't.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Because they you know, because the burs kind of won
- 7:55Speaker 1: the trade there. See that's the thing. Ar mean, I
- 7:57Speaker 1: don't disagree.
- 7:58Speaker 5: I think somebody will try to take a fly but
- 8:00Speaker 5: if it's a you're getting a flyer package. There's no
- 8:03Speaker 5: way in hellif I'm David Stearns, I'm gonna flip him
- 8:06Speaker 5: to you for a flyer package.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Yes, And there's no.
- 8:08Speaker 5: Way that man Arnold and the Brewers are gonna overspend
- 8:11Speaker 5: for somebody that's already made twenty starts in five and
- 8:13Speaker 5: diving throughout twenty of them in the beginning of the
- 8:15Speaker 5: first half.
- 8:16Speaker 6: Not seeing it so let's say if it's like sort
- 8:18Speaker 6: of personal, they don't want to give him back to
- 8:19Speaker 6: the Brewers. No, is it the same for the like
- 8:21Speaker 6: would it be the same for the Cubs? Like are
- 8:22Speaker 6: they gonna start to see the bruises their white whale?
- 8:24Speaker 6: Like we're gonna do what it takes to vanquish the
- 8:26Speaker 6: Brewers at some point, Like we're gonna overspend, we're gonna overtrade,
- 8:29Speaker 6: we're gonna make moves just because they're getting they're getting
- 8:32Speaker 6: so tired of losing to the Brewers.
- 8:33Speaker 1: No, because they that would mean again, like they're they're
- 8:36Speaker 1: getting tired of losing, period, they're tired of losing, but
- 8:38Speaker 1: they also don't like spending money in assets, and like
- 8:41Speaker 1: I think they're getting tired of it though I really.
- 8:43Speaker 4: Know it's funny because like what is going on with that?
- 8:45Speaker 4: Like they went and got Kyle Tucker and they didn't
- 8:48Speaker 4: do much, and then they went and got Bregman.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Hasn't done much, hasn't done much.
- 8:51Speaker 5: No, it's like I'm a big fan of it, like
- 8:55Speaker 5: from the well And it's not like Tucker's really set
- 8:58Speaker 5: the world on fire with the Dodgers either, No, doesn't
- 9:00Speaker 5: have to it doesn't have to. He's got sixty million
- 9:03Speaker 5: a year coming. Two forty of it is locked up
- 9:06Speaker 5: for the next four years. But they have, they've taken
- 9:09Speaker 5: the big swing and it hasn't worked for them in
- 9:11Speaker 5: the last couple of years. I mean, Durbin's numbers almost
- 9:13Speaker 5: in totality are better than Pregnants right now.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Not better, that's for sure. Pretty much. He's definitely heated up.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three. It's to buy or sell Tuesday
- 9:22Speaker 1: in the huddle, the.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Three billion arm and the buying her selling that the
- 9:26Speaker 4: packers are doing the right thing by leaning into Love
- 9:29Speaker 4: Island ooh. On social media, packers have been celebrating because
- 9:34Speaker 4: Trinity one with Bryce on Love Island USA Season eight,
- 9:40Speaker 4: and they embraced her because she wore a Brett Favor
- 9:45Speaker 4: Packers Home Green jersey on a Jersey day of photo
- 9:47Speaker 4: shoot in Richmond, Virginia earlier this year, and so they
- 9:50Speaker 4: showed her love back, and they've been cheering for her,
- 9:53Speaker 4: and they put it out on their socials and they've
- 9:56Speaker 4: been like openly rooting for her.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Oh damn, I got to get in on this.
- 10:00Speaker 6: I need a jersey for this photo shot we're doing
- 10:01Speaker 6: for this this show I'm trying to afford.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Do you have any jerseys in the closet? Is that
- 10:05Speaker 1: what that was?
- 10:05Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 10:06Speaker 5: Sure, let me take something out here. That's awesome. Are
- 10:08Speaker 5: they doing the right thing yet? I mean yes, because
- 10:10Speaker 5: won the deal.
- 10:11Speaker 4: They split the one hundred thousand dollars cash prize there was.
- 10:14Speaker 4: She's a twenty two year old from Newport News, Virginia,
- 10:16Speaker 4: quit her job at a hardware store to find love
- 10:18Speaker 4: on Love Island, USA. Now that's a hard you put
- 10:21Speaker 4: a bunch of twenty somethings in a villa and Fiji.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Yeah, they just try to find love.
- 10:25Speaker 4: It's a very popular show with the young generation and
- 10:29Speaker 4: unlike us Billy the guys that only watch sports and
- 10:31Speaker 4: don't like watch a lot of reality stuff.
- 10:34Speaker 6: But a lot of people watch it, and Love Island
- 10:36Speaker 6: would be something that I should be probably in on.
- 10:39Speaker 6: That would be one that I feel like maybe I
- 10:41Speaker 6: should have been tapped in on. I feel like a
- 10:43Speaker 6: lot of people are watching Love on a lot of.
- 10:45Speaker 1: People love this show. It's sort of like Love is Blind.
- 10:47Speaker 1: You got put it is.
- 10:48Speaker 6: I just feel like you say you should have why
- 10:51Speaker 6: because you can get references and stuff like that.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but Trinity when the when she departed for
- 10:56Speaker 4: Love Island USA, she's attractive woman. She had forty five
- 10:59Speaker 4: hundred people on those shows, forty followers on Instagram, and
- 11:03Speaker 4: then now after the show she leaves with two point
- 11:05Speaker 4: one million followers.
- 11:07Speaker 5: That's awesome. I do like good for her. That's an
- 11:09Speaker 5: American dream story.
- 11:10Speaker 6: It is because they're playing for money, but what they're
- 11:12Speaker 6: playing for is the is the followers, the influencer status.
- 11:15Speaker 1: That's what all these people want to I do like that.
- 11:17Speaker 6: That leans into the fact that we're not actually doing
- 11:19Speaker 6: this to find real relationships and real love.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Because yeah, yeah, yeah, right right all these shows.
- 11:27Speaker 6: There are shows like The Bachelor that's still fake, like
- 11:29Speaker 6: the people fake like they're still trying to find none
- 11:31Speaker 6: of them are trying that.
- 11:32Speaker 5: Well, now the love is blind people. Actually, there's some
- 11:36Speaker 5: of those couples have actually stayed together. They got the
- 11:38Speaker 5: kids and stuff like that. There are some examples of it.
- 11:40Speaker 6: But but like most of these shows, it's usually the
- 11:43Speaker 6: early seasons, well before they get popular. People are usually
- 11:46Speaker 6: trying to do it for different I don't know.
- 11:48Speaker 5: You're saying the OG couples are the ones that got
- 11:51Speaker 5: a better shot.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Some stay together. Is that that dude.
- 11:55Speaker 5: Molly that were on The Bachelor and he picked the
- 11:58Speaker 5: other girl and then all of a sudden said, sorry,
- 12:00Speaker 5: I don't love you anymore.
- 12:00Speaker 1: I actually like her the one that I didn't.
- 12:02Speaker 6: Yeah, and she was from Nominie Falls or something like that. Molly,
- 12:05Speaker 6: she was from she was local.
- 12:06Speaker 1: She missed that part. Yeah, that was like, oh wait
- 12:08Speaker 1: they were, But.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Those are the only ones I can remember. That show
- 12:11Speaker 5: drew where my man picked wrong that breaks the heart,
- 12:16Speaker 5: that goes against the other one, and he's like, I
- 12:18Speaker 5: better make this work because I think every woman in
- 12:20Speaker 5: America is gonna hate me after this, so I think
- 12:23Speaker 5: my options.
- 12:23Speaker 6: Are going to be quite limited at this point. He
- 12:25Speaker 6: dumped her live on ABC. So that was that's a memory.
- 12:28Speaker 6: But that's when we used to like get together and
- 12:30Speaker 6: watch it.

- 13:54Speaker 5: Sleeping on Goodwill if you haven't been inside, you're gonna
- 13:56Speaker 5: find some gems over there. Some guy found Wilt Chamberlain's
- 13:59Speaker 5: lake her jacket, the guy that found Aaron Rodgers' draft suit.
- 14:04Speaker 6: See, you can find these kind of things. That is
- 14:06Speaker 6: pretty amazing. I didn't doctors have a bunch of sixer
- 14:09Speaker 6: stuff at.
- 14:09Speaker 1: The one by me?
- 14:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know where was gonna take it here.
- 14:14Speaker 1: You guys can have it. Trying to make some money
- 14:16Speaker 1: off of it.
- 14:18Speaker 6: One of the market message boards there was like a
- 14:20Speaker 6: tip that one of the ex coaches dropped off a
- 14:22Speaker 6: bunch of stuff at one of them old polos.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Get over there in time.
- 14:25Speaker 6: I got there so quick, man, I got a couple.
- 14:27Speaker 6: I gotta polo shirt. I gotta pull up most of
- 14:29Speaker 6: them too.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Big for me. But you know, well Tom Crean is
- 14:32Speaker 1: not that much bigger than you.
- 14:33Speaker 6: Tom. Knowing that you could get from Tom Green was
- 14:37Speaker 6: those class was those oversized suits that they wore the
- 14:40Speaker 6: early two thousands.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Man, he had a lot of that stuff.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Ason walkshow has a buyer cell proposition for us buyer cell.
- 14:45Speaker 4: Aaron Ashby when he comes in gives up runs to
- 14:47Speaker 4: either tie the game or fall behind. So the brewers
- 14:49Speaker 4: have to score runs and he gets the wind because
- 14:51Speaker 4: he wants to set the record for most wins by
- 14:53Speaker 4: a reliever.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the strategy. Yeah, that's his strategy.
- 14:56Speaker 5: I'm going to say good stuff from Yeah, what I
- 14:59Speaker 5: would would you buy or sell Aaron Ashby getting a
- 15:03Speaker 5: step back in the leverage when we return here from
- 15:06Speaker 5: the break.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Well, maybe it depends on how he throws.
- 15:08Speaker 4: He give him one and then see because maybe the
- 15:10Speaker 4: rest because they've been grinding him down, like they pitch
- 15:13Speaker 4: him so much.
- 15:14Speaker 5: That's me The InVogue thing has been like, Aaron Ashby
- 15:17Speaker 5: can't be can't be in your leverage spot right now,
- 15:20Speaker 5: can't be in that. I think you owe it to
- 15:23Speaker 5: the team to give him the opportunity to figure it
- 15:26Speaker 5: out after the break. But the numbers for the last
- 15:28Speaker 5: like six weeks are pretty wild, right, the six and
- 15:31Speaker 5: a half e RA and the whip near like one
- 15:33Speaker 5: seven for the last six weeks, that's just simply not
- 15:35Speaker 5: good enough.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been in bagspike down.
- 15:37Speaker 6: Yeah, but it does feel like a dude that you
- 15:41Speaker 6: almost need to bet on the come with, Like you
- 15:44Speaker 6: need to bet on the fact that you can get
- 15:46Speaker 6: at least a tick better performance right out of the break.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Because otherwise you just don't have that many options.
- 15:51Speaker 6: Right, he is the option in a lot of situations,
- 15:54Speaker 6: and let's face it, he can give it to you
- 15:56Speaker 6: and you know he gives you.
- 15:57Speaker 1: That performance when he's right.
- 15:59Speaker 6: He just clearly as whether he's been overused, whether he's tired,
- 16:02Speaker 6: whether he needs a break. That happened sometimes, but like
- 16:05Speaker 6: you talk about, come playoff time.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I mean, he's the opener. That's a major strategy for
- 16:09Speaker 1: the Brewers is Ashby.
- 16:10Speaker 6: That's why they paid them all that money back then
- 16:13Speaker 6: when they did and they finally came through. So it
- 16:15Speaker 6: is kind of a conundrum if he's not pitching. Well,
- 16:17Speaker 6: if you're the Brewers, because you're like, well, we kind
- 16:20Speaker 6: of cut it on you to be available in all
- 16:21Speaker 6: these situations and to be good in all these situations.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So as a starter again.
- 16:27Speaker 5: Well listen, well Wisconsin sports fanatics said, good annalysis on
- 16:31Speaker 5: the Freddy stuff. But we need a starter, no more Gasser.
- 16:33Speaker 5: They definitely need starters, and this show is pro positive
- 16:36Speaker 5: of the Brewers going and getting starter.
- 16:38Speaker 1: No question.
- 16:38Speaker 5: Like we said, one, if not two, if not to
- 16:40Speaker 5: that is definitely what they.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Have the assets to go get them if they want.
- 16:44Speaker 4: If it just a matter of who it's going to be.
- 16:46Speaker 5: And I don't know how this I'm not in tune
- 16:50Speaker 5: enough with it. Maybe we can talk to Rock about it.
- 16:52Speaker 5: Of certain guys, this stuff plays better in the bullpen
- 16:55Speaker 5: out instead of the starter role. But for for Ash,
- 17:00Speaker 5: you're not gonna be able to stretch him out enough
- 17:02Speaker 5: to be into the start. But if you start him
- 17:04Speaker 5: and you go two innings and then you get your
- 17:06Speaker 5: bult guy right after there, maybe that does free up
- 17:10Speaker 5: a Gasser or one of these other young guys. Because
- 17:13Speaker 5: they really unlocked priests for a year ago. It felt
- 17:15Speaker 5: like when they started opening for him. That's true. Casey
- 17:18Speaker 5: Mies is a guy to watch. He's on the Tigers
- 17:20Speaker 5: and he's you know that was a former first round
- 17:22Speaker 5: pick Google he was an All.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Star last year yep, and pitching well.
- 17:26Speaker 4: If the Tigers are going to sell again, Tigers might
- 17:28Speaker 4: think they're in it because the American League is so
- 17:30Speaker 4: bad that they might not want to dumb the same
- 17:32Speaker 4: thing with the Twins.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
- 17:35Speaker 5: See, and I think the Twins have a better shot.
- 17:38Speaker 5: You have a better shot of getting the Twins almost Damn,
- 17:40Speaker 5: you're convincing the Twins to sell than the Tigers, right
- 17:43Speaker 5: like I think the I think the Twins would like
- 17:46Speaker 5: to be convinced to sell because their ownership is all ownership.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Crew has always trying to shed cash.
- 17:51Speaker 5: The Tigers are looking for every reason to get talked
- 17:54Speaker 5: in to buy and keeping it rolling. But miz is
- 17:57Speaker 5: another intriguing name there in that a ES Central. They
- 18:00Speaker 5: got a lot of them. That's where our friends walk
- 18:01Speaker 5: in logo New York right in Kansas City Royals.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Because those are one team that is clearly out of it.
- 18:06Speaker 4: They're not going to get Chapman and Gray out of
- 18:08Speaker 4: the Red Sox because they might not want to. They
- 18:11Speaker 4: might want to fold it up. Either our call last
- 18:14Speaker 4: one here, you're buying or selling? Bryce Harper uh put
- 18:16Speaker 4: out an Instagram video thing he did not like that
- 18:19Speaker 4: FanDuel used his video to try to entice this guy
- 18:21Speaker 4: who was already spent his life savings.
- 18:25Speaker 1: You know what do you think? So I buy that
- 18:27Speaker 1: he doesn't like it.
- 18:28Speaker 5: I'm selling the fact that Bryce, you didn't think it
- 18:32Speaker 5: was for somebody that was a dialed in, huge gambler
- 18:37Speaker 5: that potentially was was flirting with a problem.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I hadn't.
- 18:40Speaker 4: I didn't improve that. I didn't know Fandel would do this.
- 18:42Speaker 4: I didn't consent to it, and Fandel had no right
- 18:45Speaker 4: to do it. Okay, well, it said, hey, Terry.
- 18:48Speaker 1: What's up. Brother?
- 18:49Speaker 4: Your your host Brittany from Vanduel wanted to make sure
- 18:52Speaker 4: your Thanksgiving was extra special.
- 18:53Speaker 1: It was in the script.
- 18:54Speaker 5: It might have been had unless he thought Drew the
- 18:58Speaker 5: host at FanDuel was like the hostess at the stand
- 19:01Speaker 5: that wanted to make sure you're having a great You know,
- 19:03Speaker 5: you're sitting out at a table, and that's why I
- 19:05Speaker 5: thought they may have bryce. You're really running yourself into it.
- 19:08Speaker 5: That's a tough one to get advice.
- 19:10Speaker 1: I didn't know.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Like there's apparently some kind of like connection between FanDuel
- 19:13Speaker 4: and Cameo, Like they're kind.
- 19:15Speaker 6: Of like, I'm sure, oh they're intertwined. Okay, that I
- 19:19Speaker 6: didn't know. It might have just been as simple as
- 19:20Speaker 6: he's reading the script. But you have to be careful now,
- 19:22Speaker 6: and you're an athlete because if you just read anything, well,
- 19:26Speaker 6: read anything exactly exactly, I might have a I might
- 19:30Speaker 6: have a Cameo in my hip pocket for our guests
- 19:32Speaker 6: coming up at seven in the seven o'clock hour.
- 19:34Speaker 1: All right, there's no Rocks on cameo. I did not
- 19:38Speaker 1: know that actually, but.
- 19:41Speaker 5: Rocks on cameo and Rock might do great work on
- 19:44Speaker 5: the camera. Right, all right, Yeah, when we come back,
- 19:48Speaker 5: Scott Dolph will be here. It's halftime of the Tuesday
- 19:51Speaker 5: edition of The Huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, seventy Madison,
- 19:58Speaker 5: Drew Billy an Arm and halftime of our program means
- 20:00Speaker 5: a visit with Scott Dolphin.
- 20:02Speaker 4: Our halftime correspondent from FM one O six country station
- 20:04Speaker 4: on a Hello Dolph.
- 20:06Speaker 7: Approaching the deadist sports day of the year, right, Fellas,
- 20:09Speaker 7: isn't that?
- 20:10Speaker 1: Well?
- 20:10Speaker 4: Technically tomorrow and then after Thursday and Thursday, after the
- 20:14Speaker 4: All Star you get the All Star Game, and then
- 20:16Speaker 4: you have Wednesday.
- 20:16Speaker 1: You can talk about the All Star Game.
- 20:17Speaker 7: If anything good happens, well Thursday, and then you can
- 20:20Speaker 7: talk about the World Cup.
- 20:21Speaker 4: Well well, and thank god that we have the World
- 20:24Speaker 4: Cup and the All Star Game. And because let's look
- 20:28Speaker 4: at the landscape, Wimbledon just ended. Most people didn't care
- 20:32Speaker 4: except for Arman. The British Open or the Open Championship
- 20:35Speaker 4: is this week.
- 20:36Speaker 1: You know that Thursday Thursday.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Golf has screwed its calendar so badly that they've gone
- 20:41Speaker 4: off the radar.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:42Speaker 4: It was the dumbest calculus of ever, just that little
- 20:46Speaker 4: shift they had of wanting to not compete against this
- 20:49Speaker 4: fell camps and stuff.
- 20:50Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was the complete uh miscalculation of what
- 20:54Speaker 5: preseason football is now. Right Like back in the day,
- 20:56Speaker 5: you could actually watch training camp practices and pull a
- 20:59Speaker 5: ton of stuff. I'll watch preseason games and watch starters now.
- 21:02Speaker 5: I mean, I bet you watch most of most of
- 21:05Speaker 5: the Fox talent probably go on vacation during August because
- 21:08Speaker 5: they were more worried about the World Cup than they
- 21:09Speaker 5: are the middle of August, Like that's a perfect time
- 21:12Speaker 5: then a major Whatever.
- 21:13Speaker 4: We have going on is keeping us from having to
- 21:16Speaker 4: be force fed.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Where's Lebron going? Well, see, that was what I was
- 21:21Speaker 1: gonna say. They're trying. Don't worry Rich.
- 21:23Speaker 5: Rich and Lebron have been cooking this thing up since
- 21:27Speaker 5: they said on June thirtieth that he wasn't going to
- 21:31Speaker 5: be a Laker. I think they've had these next three days.
- 21:35Speaker 6: We will try.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Friday will be the Lebron day.
- 21:38Speaker 5: I guarantee it. I guarantee Thursday or Friday will be
- 21:41Speaker 5: the Lebron day. I would say Thursday is the best
- 21:44Speaker 5: chance because then you get all Wednesday for speculation, all
- 21:48Speaker 5: Friday for reaction, and then.
- 21:50Speaker 6: He can make that that Thursday decision. Yeah, they've been
- 21:52Speaker 6: eyeing this one up.
- 21:53Speaker 7: I didn't realize there was such strategic planning that goes
- 21:56Speaker 7: into this stuff.
- 21:57Speaker 5: There should be pr and stuff. I think you know
- 21:59Speaker 5: that there is forever everybody for Rich Paul and Lebron.
- 22:02Speaker 5: They're definitely sure, they're definitely okay. At what time do
- 22:05Speaker 5: we leak to Shamps? I think, well, let's make sure
- 22:09Speaker 5: that he has it right. When they get out of
- 22:11Speaker 5: their second hour and get up right into for a
- 22:14Speaker 5: full hour with Green even we'll get into stephen A.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Oh.
- 22:17Speaker 6: They're breaking down the mathematics of it. They're helping their
- 22:19Speaker 6: boys out there over at the four left, and they
- 22:20Speaker 6: want it to be like, you know, down the top five,
- 22:23Speaker 6: down the top three. But then again not totally. They
- 22:25Speaker 6: don't want people to be totally checked out. It's just like,
- 22:27Speaker 6: how how interesting can we keep people until we make
- 22:30Speaker 6: this decision? So, you know, then the whole Rich Paul thing,
- 22:33Speaker 6: I mean, everyone wonders, you know, because you have to
- 22:35Speaker 6: get in good with clutch sports because.
- 22:37Speaker 1: They have so many clients. Is that why? You know,
- 22:39Speaker 1: like the Gary Trenz of the world get these deals.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Maybe the Bucks have a chance. Yeah, I just I
- 22:47Speaker 1: think they should because he can't lose. I mean, there's
- 22:49Speaker 1: next year. Though. What does poly market say is mostly Calves.
- 22:52Speaker 5: Calves was the number one betting market have Sixers, Heat
- 22:57Speaker 5: Warriors Sixers were fourth. From what I had seen was Calves,
- 23:01Speaker 5: Heat Warriors sixers and then everybody else. I mean, but hell,
- 23:05Speaker 5: they were putting like the San Antonio Spurs on the
- 23:08Speaker 5: bottom of it.
- 23:09Speaker 1: It's seventy five one. He ain't going to the Spur,
- 23:10Speaker 1: He go to theat go to the Sixers.
- 23:12Speaker 6: Bra.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I don't know why you are.
- 23:14Speaker 5: It's definitely the best move from astive.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Here's the other thing.
- 23:18Speaker 4: It's like, you can accuse Lebron of ring chasing or whatever,
- 23:21Speaker 4: but whatever he does in this final act before he shuffles.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Off, isn't gonna taint his legacy at all. Right, He's
- 23:29Speaker 1: gonna win a. He'll win A if he wins the championship.
- 23:31Speaker 4: But the thing is he is he really a ring
- 23:34Speaker 4: chaser because he contributes enough.
- 23:36Speaker 1: That's just it. He's not like a guy just hanging on.
- 23:39Speaker 4: He's not like Robert or or somebody or Bill Walton
- 23:41Speaker 4: in those final years with the Celtics Tel Waiver.
- 23:45Speaker 1: He's going to be a major contributor to the effort. Yeah,
- 23:48Speaker 1: the ring.
- 23:48Speaker 5: Chase was what everybody thought, like Gary Payton and Karl Malone.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Is that fair on that Lakers team? And that's the
- 23:53Speaker 5: one that you think that's just so far from it.
- 23:56Speaker 5: Lebron at worst will be a top thirty player in
- 23:59Speaker 5: the league this year, like his production wise, will be
- 24:01Speaker 5: at worst the top.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Thirty players at age forty two.
- 24:04Speaker 5: Yeah, he's the He's the greatest old player the league
- 24:07Speaker 5: has ever seen, for sure, And it's it's wild that
- 24:09Speaker 5: you can still talk about it and say what team
- 24:11Speaker 5: would he come into and make them more of a
- 24:14Speaker 5: title contender because none of those that he's talking about
- 24:16Speaker 5: outside of Philly are real ones. I mean, the Warriors
- 24:19Speaker 5: have been in the plays the last three years, that's true.
- 24:21Speaker 5: The Cavs are, but I think they're also more of
- 24:23Speaker 5: without James Harden. But that's you know, neither here.
- 24:25Speaker 7: I can't imagine trying to do that to your body
- 24:27Speaker 7: of forty two years old with a with an NBA schedule.
- 24:29Speaker 7: I know they get they get time off to rest,
- 24:31Speaker 7: but still up and down that court for as long
- 24:34Speaker 7: as they do it at forty two.
- 24:36Speaker 4: With your knees feeling like, yeah, I mean you can relate.
- 24:39Speaker 4: You're about that age, aren't you.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Yeah? What was that? Was that a stray for that's
- 24:43Speaker 1: a that's a direct shot.
- 24:45Speaker 4: That's a direct shot in with guys, think about yourself
- 24:48Speaker 4: on the tennis court or maybe the pick a ball court.
- 24:49Speaker 6: You're absolutely right. I mean I also like not a
- 24:53Speaker 6: finally tuned athlete. That's you know, spend all this money
- 24:56Speaker 6: on my body and everything like that.
- 24:57Speaker 1: But also you're absolutely right.
- 24:59Speaker 6: It's not only is he the best player at his
- 25:02Speaker 6: age doing this, he's basically the only one. It's not
- 25:04Speaker 6: that he's the best. Who else has played until forty two?
- 25:07Speaker 6: Maybe Vince Carter that's it. And he was a big player. Yeah,
- 25:10Speaker 6: and I got one more left in No one more.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Now.
- 25:12Speaker 6: I give him credit because even Kareem was forty and
- 25:15Speaker 6: four one. Kareem's the closest because when you compare Eras
- 25:18Speaker 6: doing what Kareem to thirty seven thirty eight was as
- 25:21Speaker 6: impressive to probably at forty two because of the Eras
- 25:24Speaker 6: and all that stuff.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Bang constantly. It's amazing.
- 25:27Speaker 6: I just know that eventually the door has to close
- 25:31Speaker 6: and when is that?
- 25:31Speaker 1: But that's my thing. He keeps pushing it. He keeps pushing.
- 25:34Speaker 4: If he doesn't win a title, it's like whatever. It's
- 25:37Speaker 4: like if he does, he doesn't. But you don't get
- 25:39Speaker 4: the sense he's chasing because he's still gonna be.
- 25:41Speaker 5: That good, because he's still gonna help. And I do
- 25:43Speaker 5: think that's the part of it. Drew Like they they
- 25:45Speaker 5: mentioned they threw the ring chasing thing out there. Basketball
- 25:49Speaker 5: the only sport that you really look at that in
- 25:52Speaker 5: Like baseball, somebody goes and joins the Dodgers chasing.
- 25:56Speaker 1: You know, you're just trying to play for the best team.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Maybe tennis. I mean, if you're still performing at a
- 26:00Speaker 1: high level at forty years old. There's some NFL guys
- 26:03Speaker 1: that have been like, thought, there has me chase. I'm
- 26:05Speaker 1: gonna go to a place where I have a chance
- 26:06Speaker 1: to win.
- 26:08Speaker 5: But nobody would like it doesn't look get looked at
- 26:10Speaker 5: maybe I'm wrong as like a negative connotation towards the
- 26:13Speaker 5: guy because it feels like basketball.
- 26:15Speaker 1: They use it more as a dig instead of football.
- 26:17Speaker 5: It's like, oh, this is sweet Aaron Donald might go
- 26:19Speaker 5: back to the Rams because Myles Garrett's there. I don't
- 26:23Speaker 5: know Evene's calling Aaron Donald a ring chaser. They're celebrating
- 26:25Speaker 5: it for hopefully coming out of retirement.
- 26:27Speaker 6: I remember in hockey when the Avalanche won in like
- 26:29Speaker 6: was it O one. It was a big deal that
- 26:31Speaker 6: Ray Bork finally got a Stanley Cup.
- 26:34Speaker 1: But he was the old guy in that team.
- 26:36Speaker 6: It was his last year. I mean that was the call.
- 26:38Speaker 6: It was like, Ray Bork, you're a chance.
- 26:40Speaker 7: I'm glad you brought on hockey because Oveska is another
- 26:42Speaker 7: guy that's at that at that age, is still performing
- 26:44Speaker 7: at a high level.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Yeah, he's kind of like that too, all right, so
- 26:47Speaker 4: duff uh what'd you think of the home run derby?
- 26:49Speaker 4: We were talking about how good the theaters and it's
- 26:51Speaker 4: great to not have a clock on it.
- 26:53Speaker 1: I thought so too.
- 26:54Speaker 4: I just love the fact that you had the high
- 26:55Speaker 4: drama for the final round where you have this kid
- 26:58Speaker 4: from the Cardinals twenty four years old. People are You
- 27:01Speaker 4: could just feel the energy coming from that audience against
- 27:04Speaker 4: him totally in Philly, and you know Kyle Schwarber with
- 27:07Speaker 4: that serious look on his face watching on and yeah,
- 27:10Speaker 4: it was fun.
- 27:11Speaker 1: It was fun.
- 27:11Speaker 4: They were one strike away from a huge party at
- 27:14Speaker 4: Philly and then Jordan Walker hits six in a row
- 27:16Speaker 4: to say see you later. And the last one was
- 27:19Speaker 4: like just off the bat and you see people just
- 27:21Speaker 4: filing out of them.
- 27:23Speaker 5: Was amazing because I'm watching his reaction. I didn't catch
- 27:26Speaker 5: it in real time. I went I just went back
- 27:28Speaker 5: and saw some of it. And you do you see
- 27:29Speaker 5: all of them off the bat heads talk heads talk
- 27:32Speaker 5: right to the ire.
- 27:33Speaker 4: It's like your team is, you're lining up and the
- 27:35Speaker 4: other team's gonna line up for a field goal to
- 27:37Speaker 4: walk it off against you, and you're just watching and
- 27:38Speaker 4: watch it and as soon as it leaves his foot
- 27:40Speaker 4: and you see it's going to go through, it's like, okay,
- 27:41Speaker 4: well I'm done with this.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 27:44Speaker 7: I thought it was great to change, you know, in hindsight,
- 27:47Speaker 7: I thought it was great to change the format because
- 27:48Speaker 7: the home run derby was like, you know, like the
- 27:50Speaker 7: NBA Dunk Contest or whatever has kind of, you know,
- 27:53Speaker 7: lost some of its shine over the years because a
- 27:55Speaker 7: lot of the big boppers don't want to do it anymore.
- 27:57Speaker 5: This is important, though, to have real guys playing hidden right,
- 28:01Speaker 5: like I mean, Jordan Walker is going to be a
- 28:02Speaker 5: star for a long time. See Harper has been a
- 28:06Speaker 5: star for a long time. Having two hometown guys and
- 28:08Speaker 5: it's pretty cool. It's awesome, and it's the way that
- 28:12Speaker 5: they've crafted it. You're not gonna wear yourself out like
- 28:15Speaker 5: James would. They talked to yesterday and he said it
- 28:18Speaker 5: Immediately's like, well, I already think this is better than
- 28:20Speaker 5: last year when I did it, and hopefully he does
- 28:22Speaker 5: it again because he hits majestic homers. But like DeRosa
- 28:25Speaker 5: was on in one of the shows in the lead
- 28:27Speaker 5: up yesterday and talked about how when he was picking
- 28:30Speaker 5: the team for the WBC's like, I thought it was
- 28:31Speaker 5: important whatever, however many innings I can get out of
- 28:34Speaker 5: TERRYH School, it's important for kids to see him in
- 28:36Speaker 5: a us A jersey.
- 28:37Speaker 1: It's important to see guys like this.
- 28:39Speaker 5: That's why, as much as I understand that, you know,
- 28:43Speaker 5: maybe Lebron and certain other guys and Giannis still hasn't
- 28:47Speaker 5: done one, I would think that he would want to
- 28:48Speaker 5: do more. Uh, the dunk contest. It's important to see
- 28:51Speaker 5: the best players out there, not G.
- 28:53Speaker 1: League guys doing it. Let's find some more.
- 28:55Speaker 5: Even top flight rookies that get in there, because that's
- 28:58Speaker 5: just how you continue to grow through this thing.
- 29:00Speaker 7: And I hope you just mentioned will Baseball Classic. I
- 29:02Speaker 7: hope those guys start playing a little bit more, because
- 29:05Speaker 7: you know, we were getting close to the start of
- 29:07Speaker 7: the season and Schooble and Skiings and those guys are like, yeah,
- 29:10Speaker 7: you know. More so their organizations are like, yeah, they're
- 29:13Speaker 7: going to maybe pitch an inning or two, or maybe
- 29:15Speaker 7: not pitch at all, but they'll be in uniform. I'd
- 29:17Speaker 7: like to see that change a little bit, similar to
- 29:19Speaker 7: the the Olympic basketball team. Oh, for sure, they've got
- 29:22Speaker 7: the advantage of having it at the end of the season.
- 29:24Speaker 7: But Dolphins brought up a good point.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Drew wasn't the rub there After the WBC was like,
- 29:30Speaker 5: all right, now we got to move it to the
- 29:31Speaker 5: All Star break. Yeah, people were saying that quite a
- 29:34Speaker 5: few guys dropping out of the All Star Game.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Now in Major League Baseball, maybe it's not.
- 29:38Speaker 6: It's not as easy to just throw in an extra
- 29:41Speaker 6: tournament in the middle of the baseball season.
- 29:42Speaker 7: The baseball season is so long anyway. If you're playing
- 29:45Speaker 7: preseason games, regular season playoff games, you're looking at almost
- 29:48Speaker 7: two hundred games a year. I don't know if there's
- 29:50Speaker 7: a good place to put the WBC. I guess spring
- 29:53Speaker 7: training is well in the beginning. I think it's like
- 29:56Speaker 7: pretty good. It's the perfect kickoff to the sport.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Into the season.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Really, really, what's the appetite for the opening day? Out
- 30:03Speaker 4: of curiosity, anybody remember who won the home run Derby
- 30:07Speaker 4: and when it was right here in the state of
- 30:08Speaker 4: Wisconsin in two thousand and two at then Miller Park.
- 30:11Speaker 5: All I remember is Sammy hit we only he won. No,
- 30:15Speaker 5: he didn't win it. He didn't and it wasn't Richie Sexon.
- 30:18Speaker 5: As much as I I don't remember.
- 30:20Speaker 4: The contestants were Lance Berkman of the Astros, Alex Rodriguez
- 30:24Speaker 4: of the Rangers, Barry Bonds of the Giants, Tory Hunter
- 30:26Speaker 4: of the Twins, Richie Sexon of your Milwaukee Brewers, Canerko
- 30:30Speaker 4: the White Sox, Sammy Sosa, and your winner was Jason
- 30:34Speaker 4: g oh Okay somber, Sosa and Giambi put on a
- 30:39Speaker 4: show in the first round. Sosa had twelve in the
- 30:42Speaker 4: first round and he was crush the balls through the
- 30:44Speaker 4: window out of at the window, out of the wall
- 30:46Speaker 4: part yeah, and Giambi was equally impressive, so they won
- 30:49Speaker 4: the first round twelve and eleven and second. Did make
- 30:52Speaker 4: the semis and he only hit four, so he finished
- 30:55Speaker 4: last in the semis.
- 30:56Speaker 1: He won a good run in the first round to
- 30:57Speaker 1: get he got the place.
- 31:00Speaker 4: He had six to ti Cano and move into uh
- 31:04Speaker 4: the time for fourth. But in the final round gemb
- 31:07Speaker 4: crushed he had seven and Sammy was out of gas.
- 31:10Speaker 1: He only had one, only one in the finals. Back back, back,
- 31:13Speaker 1: back back.
- 31:14Speaker 6: That's what happens, That's what happens. I remember all the
- 31:16Speaker 6: mascots up in the Bernie slide.
- 31:18Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun. That was pretty cool.
- 31:20Speaker 1: I got to get it.
- 31:20Speaker 7: I was gonna say Tory Hunter, he was. He was
- 31:22Speaker 7: on my mind, but that's probably because uh yeah. And
- 31:25Speaker 7: then Bonds picking him up and.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Catching the plane. Right, that's the problem.
- 31:30Speaker 5: It was such a great all Star game until until
- 31:33Speaker 5: the time all had it, All had happen.
- 31:36Speaker 4: It was revealed, and then everybody was pissed, like why
- 31:38Speaker 4: don't the starters play longer? Well, most of them left
- 31:41Speaker 4: to go to the SPS and I left early too
- 31:45Speaker 4: because I had to get up and do the morning.
- 31:46Speaker 4: I remember calling my wife and say pick me up
- 31:48Speaker 4: at the EE hop. I walked up to Miller park
- 31:50Speaker 4: Way at National jumped in the car. I watched the
- 31:52Speaker 4: rest of it at home.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Get a short stack on the way. That's amazing. Should
- 31:55Speaker 1: have you, should have do all right?
- 31:59Speaker 4: So last thing here, the miss had this Pokemon glove.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Did you see the glove that he had commissioned? Yeah,
- 32:06Speaker 4: with the and so I was just telling the boys here,
- 32:09Speaker 4: my my weekend was in my weekend on weekend, my home,
- 32:12Speaker 4: my neighborhood is on weekends, is inundated with tourists beause
- 32:15Speaker 4: it's a touristic place. But there were a lot of
- 32:18Speaker 4: people walking around in groups, staring at their phones, and
- 32:20Speaker 4: it's like, oh, my wife's like, what's going on?
- 32:22Speaker 1: Like this is the Pokemon thing. There's some kind of
- 32:24Speaker 1: Pokemon goat thing around here.
- 32:25Speaker 4: And it was swarmed on Saturday, damning going down in
- 32:30Speaker 4: the third word, and they were they were all over
- 32:33Speaker 4: the place.
- 32:33Speaker 1: A lot of Pokemon hanging out there.
- 32:36Speaker 4: Guys trying to catch whatever they do. I don't I
- 32:38Speaker 4: don't know what it is. I don't try to get
- 32:40Speaker 4: a Pokemon entails. But there were a lot of people
- 32:43Speaker 4: clearly that was what they were doing, a lot of
- 32:44Speaker 4: them had Pokemon shirts on. That would make sense because
- 32:46Speaker 4: I was leaving a Pick and Safe store on Saturday
- 32:49Speaker 4: morning and they have those giant Pokemon vending machines now
- 32:52Speaker 4: out in the vegetables and there's three people waiting in
- 32:54Speaker 4: line to buy packs at that thing. I'm like, that's
- 32:57Speaker 4: pretty high traffic even for this place on a Saturday.
- 33:00Speaker 5: It's one of my favorite things at Target is like
- 33:03Speaker 5: at certain days, certain days, they drop certain days at
- 33:06Speaker 5: nine to thirty or ten o'clock, so the boxes will
- 33:10Speaker 5: come in and the new shipments will be there, and
- 33:11Speaker 5: it is there will be a line by the checkout's box.
- 33:15Speaker 5: I could get out because we got to be able
- 33:16Speaker 5: to get the fresh boxes. I could never get into
- 33:19Speaker 5: the Pokemon Go, but I was. I was a Game
- 33:22Speaker 5: Boy Color Pokemon guy, so like when I was a kid,
- 33:25Speaker 5: it was hot. Then I got rid of all my
- 33:28Speaker 5: Pokemon cards that were in four shoe boxes in my
- 33:32Speaker 5: bedroom and I just forgot about it, Like I just
- 33:34Speaker 5: completely you kidding me. Probably everybody says that just like
- 33:39Speaker 5: with beanie babies, they were going to cash it and
- 33:41Speaker 5: they have no value.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Yeah, my guess is mine had too.
- 33:44Speaker 6: My guess is mine had too many like cinnamon toast
- 33:47Speaker 6: crunch stains. Yeah, right, Like there was probably some fruity
- 33:49Speaker 6: pebbles that got spilled on a bunch of those cards
- 33:52Speaker 6: at some point. I don't know that they were grade
- 33:54Speaker 6: at any tens in there, but so many.
- 33:57Speaker 7: Yeah, the value is really starting to shoot up with them.
- 34:00Speaker 7: It's not at the point of, you know, vintage old
- 34:02Speaker 7: Mickey Mantle rookie cards, but it's getting up there.
- 34:04Speaker 6: It's more sell them now because I don't think I
- 34:08Speaker 6: don't think that's gonna last forever. That's my theory, although
- 34:10Speaker 6: I could be the wrong old guy that they Yeah.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I was just like, I was just like, what are
- 34:16Speaker 1: these people doing. I can't I have a life. I
- 34:18Speaker 1: can't do it.
- 34:19Speaker 5: But at least they're out of the house. They're moving,
- 34:21Speaker 5: they're moving, they're out hanging out. Communal experience.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Yes, we always said that.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Our buddy doctor Dave Margolis, those kids in the cancer
- 34:27Speaker 4: ward over at Children's, they they needed them to walk around,
- 34:31Speaker 4: and he got talked to the developers and got him
- 34:33Speaker 4: to play Pokemon Going. That's they were playing in the
- 34:35Speaker 4: hospital in the cancer ward. Getting the kids to walk
- 34:37Speaker 4: around playing that game. You've never played, true, it's brilliant
- 34:40Speaker 4: kidding me our thing.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 34:42Speaker 4: I don't know what Pokemon is, Pokemon Power Rangers. I
- 34:45Speaker 4: missed all that stuff. You just walk around and they're
- 34:48Speaker 4: just They're just everywhere, And we just missed out our generation.
- 34:51Speaker 1: We had pong. We didn't have any of that stuff.
- 34:53Speaker 4: Generation we made prank phone calls to occupy our time
- 34:57Speaker 4: and rank doorbells and ran away sixty seven before they
- 35:00Speaker 4: took Star sixty seven Color I d and then the
- 35:02Speaker 4: ring camera to catch you doing ding done, ditch.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Both of those ruined.
- 35:05Speaker 6: Everything goes to the graveyard the goodld days. Not gonna
- 35:07Speaker 6: mention this before I forget speaking of a change in times.
- 35:10Speaker 6: Pokemon go this. This will bring you back to reality.
- 35:14Speaker 6: You know what the sponsor was in the Milwaukee Al
- 35:16Speaker 6: Sar game two thousand and two at the Legends and
- 35:19Speaker 6: Celebrity Softball game.
- 35:20Speaker 1: The sponsors radio Shack.
- 35:22Speaker 6: Oh wow, the radio Shack Legends and Celebrity Softball.
- 35:27Speaker 1: That's a pretty much period of the period.
- 35:29Speaker 7: Hey, I missed that radio shack at Grand David mall Man,
- 35:32Speaker 7: whenever I needed an RCA jack for a trip from
- 35:34Speaker 7: my head, swing in and grab it.
- 35:36Speaker 4: Such an important store for a time. Oh, yes, certainly was.
- 35:40Speaker 4: It certainly was, doll thanks for popping in. Appreciate it.
- 35:42Speaker 4: Halftime is over, Let's make our adjustments. You're in the huddle.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio was conm.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Yeah, gee, where do you go after that interlude? That's
- 36:06Speaker 1: the Japanese sensation U Morikami?
- 36:09Speaker 5: Yesterday on the McAfee show, Drew, there's there's times where
- 36:14Speaker 5: I feel bad for people on sets. I don't know
- 36:16Speaker 5: that I've ever felt worse for a human being than
- 36:20Speaker 5: the interpreter sitting on the McAfee set trying to bring
- 36:23Speaker 5: out of you. They're two and a half minute questions
- 36:26Speaker 5: together and explain it to more a Kami.
- 36:29Speaker 1: But uh, he was funny yesterday. Dude.
- 36:31Speaker 5: It's times when you see certain players where you know
- 36:34Speaker 5: that they would that everybody else in their shoes would
- 36:37Speaker 5: be extremely uncomfortable. He seemed like he was having an
- 36:39Speaker 5: absolute ball yesterday, letting it ride. Didn't hit a ton
- 36:42Speaker 5: of homers, but had himself a fun time and he
- 36:44Speaker 5: is Uh, he's a joy to watch play baseball. And
- 36:47Speaker 5: hopefully we see more more a Kami coming up because
- 36:50Speaker 5: he was funny. Yeah, A Masher definitely So that was
- 36:54Speaker 5: one of the things last night that the Philly crowd.
- 36:56Speaker 5: Jordan Walker, obviously, I saw a great interview with Justin
- 36:59Speaker 5: Verlin and he was doing the Fox Like pre show
- 37:03Speaker 5: with uh he was on with and Big Poppy Okay,
- 37:08Speaker 5: and he was talking about how his his final encounter,
- 37:11Speaker 5: like he got Big Poppy to pop up on his
- 37:13Speaker 5: lastep bat against him, and he said, before his last
- 37:15Speaker 5: game against Jeter, he was just a kid, and he
- 37:17Speaker 5: just asked Jeter.
- 37:18Speaker 4: He's like, hey, can I get something from the game,
- 37:19Speaker 4: used from this game? And she was like, yeah, I
- 37:22Speaker 4: got you absolutely. And then his first at bat he
- 37:25Speaker 4: saws him off, breaks his bat on a ground out,
- 37:29Speaker 4: and then as Jeter's running the first He's screaming, just
- 37:31Speaker 4: that's why I'm retiring.
- 37:33Speaker 1: That's why I'm retiring.
- 37:34Speaker 4: So he sent him the broken bat, he'd like taped
- 37:36Speaker 4: it together and sent him the bat and said this
- 37:39Speaker 4: is why I'm retiring Derek Jeter and sent him the bats.
- 37:44Speaker 6: Wasn't there a guy in two thousand or ninety nine
- 37:46Speaker 6: Drew that was stealing Derek Peters stuff?
- 37:49Speaker 4: There was, Yeah, that was Ruben Rivera was stealing teammates
- 37:52Speaker 4: stuff and selling it.
- 37:53Speaker 5: Yeah, oh not the guy that stole like Tom Brady's
- 37:56Speaker 5: super Bowery River was stealing from his own teammates selling.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Yeah, he was famous for that. Oh yeah, our story.
- 38:04Speaker 1: I just crossed my mind.
- 38:05Speaker 5: He said, Just imagine how much money he would have
- 38:07Speaker 5: been making on a Facebook marketplace.
- 38:10Speaker 1: All right.
- 38:10Speaker 4: So the thing that stood out last night again is
- 38:12Speaker 4: we're talking about the home run derby, the home cooking
- 38:15Speaker 4: and the Philly fans. We know how intense they are,
- 38:17Speaker 4: and they really are. They showed it was electric for Schwarber,
- 38:21Speaker 4: and Harper was out quick, but Schwarber was.
- 38:24Speaker 1: They were in it, right.
- 38:26Speaker 4: So if you're Zach Wheeler and they want to put
- 38:28Speaker 4: you on the All Star team, and you know you
- 38:31Speaker 4: think you deserve it, and then you I don't want
- 38:33Speaker 4: to be anybody's fifth choice. I'm going to stay home. Okay,
- 38:36Speaker 4: you're standing on principal and you're you're showing them, But
- 38:39Speaker 4: you also missed a chance to give those fans another
- 38:42Speaker 4: person to cheer for, to be in you'r a home park,
- 38:44Speaker 4: which is like not even leaving your house like that
- 38:48Speaker 4: was kind of a dumb dumb It was a dumb stand.
- 38:50Speaker 1: I get it.
- 38:51Speaker 4: If the game had been if you had to fly
- 38:53Speaker 4: across the country and inconvenience yourself. Okay, but you're right there,
- 38:56Speaker 4: and then you can get on the plane and go
- 38:57Speaker 4: wherever the Phillies are going after the break whatever. But
- 39:00Speaker 4: you screwed your fans out of a tank. You cheer
- 39:03Speaker 4: for another Philly. So that was a dumb stand.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Don't be too prideful, right, Like I mean, we already
- 39:08Speaker 5: know that you crowbarred out this time. It's not like
- 39:10Speaker 5: you have a family vacation plan because you played on
- 39:12Speaker 5: being an All Star and however it gets there, it's here,
- 39:16Speaker 5: and I'm glad you said it. It's not even you
- 39:18Speaker 5: know that you get to add an All Star game.
- 39:20Speaker 5: Sure you could go and enjoy your basement and hang
- 39:22Speaker 5: out by yourself and hang out with your family. I
- 39:24Speaker 5: bet that would be more enjoyable. But it's for the
- 39:27Speaker 5: fans that are sitting there waiting to be able to
- 39:28Speaker 5: cheer for one more guy in the Phillies uniform. And
- 39:31Speaker 5: I thought it was a really, really dumb stand to take.
- 39:34Speaker 5: If that's gonna be the hill that you die on,
- 39:36Speaker 5: that I'm not. I'm nobody's second fiddle. Well, rather than
- 39:39Speaker 5: you can play the fiddle by yourself.
- 39:40Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean and Christopher Sanchez is starting. You
- 39:44Speaker 4: can make a case Wheeler's got you know, arguably as good,
- 39:47Speaker 4: if not better numbers. Yeah, no, numbers are right there.
- 39:50Speaker 4: But why would you not you? Yes, did he deserve
- 39:53Speaker 4: to be on the team. Sure, but you know there's
- 39:56Speaker 4: mechanics and some team's got to have a representation, and
- 39:58Speaker 4: so there's always guys who get left offs and then
- 40:01Speaker 4: if the like miss can't pitch, so somebody had to
- 40:04Speaker 4: take spot. Like there's there's always those machinations. And I
- 40:07Speaker 4: don't know why you'd be offended because other than you
- 40:10Speaker 4: when it says in your baseball card, on your baseball
- 40:13Speaker 4: reference page that you're an All Star, you're an All Star.
- 40:14Speaker 4: You're an All Star, right, nobody's going back. It's giving
- 40:17Speaker 4: it back. Like there's a lot of guys that are
- 40:18Speaker 4: in the Pro Bowl team.
- 40:19Speaker 5: Because but in major the MLB All Star Game isn't
- 40:23Speaker 5: getting shaduor Sanders level with the Pro Bowl, right, Like,
- 40:26Speaker 5: I mean, there's this is still a hell of an
- 40:28Speaker 5: honor and you really drop the ball on that, and.
- 40:30Speaker 4: There's you know, yes, every team needs to represent Some
- 40:32Speaker 4: people think that's crap.
- 40:34Speaker 1: I think it's good because it's for the fans. There
- 40:36Speaker 1: could be a lot worse rules than everybody gets.
- 40:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought Zach whe Liter, like, if it's game
- 40:41Speaker 4: balls and kicks, I'd give him a kick.
- 40:42Speaker 1: He deserves it, and I double that one up.
- 40:45Speaker 4: We're closing up shop in the final hour of the huddle.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Stay tuned, we're just getting started. You're on Fox Fox
- 40:50Speaker 4: Sports Radio Wisconsin.
