- 3:41Speaker 4: other one is down in Miami, Florida. So there's a
- 3:45Speaker 4: lot there's a lot of different ways that these go.
- 3:48Speaker 4: One thing is you're gonna have a heck of a
- 3:50Speaker 4: good time. There's gonna be one or two times where
- 3:52Speaker 4: you're gonna have to hopefully make sure you'll hold that
- 3:55Speaker 4: groom up a little bit to make sure that he's
- 3:57Speaker 4: not passing out at that.
- 3:58Speaker 5: I feel I'm there to be that kind of that
- 4:00Speaker 5: kind of mentor older cousin, sober angel Greek chorus type guy.
- 4:05Speaker 1: You know, I want to make sure I do that,
- 4:07Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't fall asleep. I did on my
- 4:08Speaker 1: Bachelor part a little trigger.
- 4:10Speaker 5: I said, you really couldn't have ad it in Vegas
- 4:12Speaker 5: and we could have rolled right through. I could have
- 4:13Speaker 5: stayed three extra days to go to the Brewers games
- 4:15Speaker 5: out there could have been there, that would have been perfect.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, you.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Know I've going to Miami. Like, all right, well let's
- 4:21Speaker 4: go to Miami. It's your it's your party. I guess
- 4:23Speaker 4: it's your party yours. I'd be lying if I told
- 4:26Speaker 4: you I haven't looked looked up the possibility of trying
- 4:29Speaker 4: to make that last second Vegas.
- 4:30Speaker 5: I think go is Gold's not the hard part. It's
- 4:33Speaker 5: the tickets for the games. It seemed like or did
- 4:34Speaker 5: they come down since.
- 4:35Speaker 4: That significantly down? Okay, it doesn't seem like a lot
- 4:38Speaker 4: of locals are that hot to it. It is a
- 4:40Speaker 4: thirty minute trip away from the strip, like that's the
- 4:43Speaker 4: one thing for folks that true. I don't know had
- 4:46Speaker 4: thought of that when when they were playing nine going
- 4:47Speaker 4: out to the Vegas A's against the Brewers games coming
- 4:50Speaker 4: up next week. That's a heck of a trek. But
- 4:53Speaker 4: it's a beautiful drive. You and I took it while
- 4:55Speaker 4: we were going out to the Packers everywhere event. That's
- 4:57Speaker 4: a sweet route. Yeah, absolutely, it looked really good. But
- 5:01Speaker 4: it's uh, those are gonna be fun times.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Hit us up at eight seven seven seven nine seven
- 5:05Speaker 3: three South Beach, sorry and wearing that romper flying tomorrow
- 5:08Speaker 3: morning while we're working here and land.
- 5:10Speaker 1: In the town.
- 5:11Speaker 3: One thing we haven't tald about we'll talk about it
- 5:12Speaker 3: more tomorrow is this is Banana Ball weekend. Billy, I
- 5:15Speaker 3: know this is big on your universe. Win are you going?
- 5:17Speaker 4: We are going on Sunday awesome. We are going to
- 5:20Speaker 4: see the the local beach coconuts. I believe against the
- 5:25Speaker 4: party animals and these are two the party animals I
- 5:29Speaker 4: think are like if you would take this from the
- 5:32Speaker 4: the Harlem Globe Trotter's framework, they would be the Washington
- 5:36Speaker 4: Generals got it right like they were the first of
- 5:39Speaker 4: they played the bananas and now the banana ball lead.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I think they got like eight teams.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Well, there's the fireman right, there's the fire firefighters, firefighters.
- 5:48Speaker 4: There's the Texas Tailgators who start up every game by
- 5:51Speaker 4: firing up a grill and throwing some burgers down.
- 5:54Speaker 1: It's amazing. And every single.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Time you score a run, you get a burger, which
- 5:57Speaker 4: again is hard to beat because now they're getting at
- 6:00Speaker 4: some point you continue to get protein throughout the game.
- 6:02Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough to beat him, but it is
- 6:05Speaker 4: a It is a huge win in the house, so
- 6:07Speaker 4: I we're very excited. I don't know that I'm gonna
- 6:11Speaker 4: be able to help by catching the foul ball and
- 6:14Speaker 4: getting it out, but I will tell you this is
- 6:16Speaker 4: the first game that I'm planning on bringing my glove
- 6:18Speaker 4: to bring quite some time, just in case, because I
- 6:21Speaker 4: do want to I do want to help out and
- 6:22Speaker 4: if I can make if I can make it out,
- 6:25Speaker 4: then I feel like I contribute unless athletic thing I've
- 6:27Speaker 4: done in a couple of years.
- 6:28Speaker 5: It's one of the great sports business, sports marketing success stories. Ever,
- 6:32Speaker 5: we know that, we know how popular it is with kids.
- 6:34Speaker 5: And I realize the other day when my daughter is
- 6:37Speaker 5: able to put it on all the time because she
- 6:39Speaker 5: can press a couple buttons on the remote.
- 6:40Speaker 1: She's not even two yet, but she can press a couple.
- 6:43Speaker 4: Disney Plus and you know what it is though, on
- 6:45Speaker 4: the Roku app, it's like the first thing that's been
- 6:48Speaker 4: coming up.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So I think that's part of the sure the geniuses.
- 6:51Speaker 1: It's right there.
- 6:52Speaker 5: So as soon as she hits that on button twice,
- 6:54Speaker 5: all of a sudden, she's watching bad ball, bad ball,
- 6:57Speaker 5: you know, ball ball, bad ball. Like I'm like this,
- 6:59Speaker 5: go's no what banana ball is at two years old? Like,
- 7:02Speaker 5: and it's pretty, I mean, she she gets into it,
- 7:04Speaker 5: bright colors, people jumping around.
- 7:07Speaker 1: It's amazing that.
- 7:08Speaker 5: What it's done in terms of sports marketing and the
- 7:10Speaker 5: success story. And kids love it, you know, whether or
- 7:12Speaker 5: not however you feel about it as an adult, kids
- 7:15Speaker 5: love it.
- 7:16Speaker 3: I was thinking about this because the Brewers we were
- 7:18Speaker 3: talking about the concert up at Lambeau mm hm with
- 7:22Speaker 3: the Luke Bryan shows, and Birds don't have a concert
- 7:25Speaker 3: but to sell out.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Banana ball thing is going to help the coffers.
- 7:27Speaker 4: That fills it right and doesn't tear up the grass
- 7:30Speaker 4: like bringing an error church stage right. Maybe that is
- 7:34Speaker 4: maybe that's the winner to sell out for the two
- 7:38Speaker 4: in army. You're right, and this whole sports marketing it's
- 7:41Speaker 4: not even like the main attraction, but again sold out
- 7:44Speaker 4: because of the energy and the style of it. They
- 7:46Speaker 4: also do a really good job of being able to
- 7:48Speaker 4: I think there's like a two hour party before the
- 7:51Speaker 4: game and the parking lot where some of the players
- 7:53Speaker 4: are going to be kind of like wandering around and
- 7:55Speaker 4: meeting meeting.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Fans and things like that. So it's a cool deal.
- 7:59Speaker 4: It's also I mean the heck of a wait Like
- 8:02Speaker 4: there are some people that have been on these waitlists
- 8:04Speaker 4: for two or three years, Yeah, to try and see
- 8:07Speaker 4: they draft the cities that they're going to. Their draft
- 8:10Speaker 4: isn't necessarily they drafting players. They're drafting what cities they're
- 8:13Speaker 4: picking to play all of the different games. It's a
- 8:16Speaker 4: hell of a business that they've been able to go
- 8:19Speaker 4: from getting laughed out of different minor league leagues to
- 8:23Speaker 4: now selling more seats in one game than a lot
- 8:27Speaker 4: of minor league teams are selling in a league.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Their ticket system, if you go to their website, it's
- 8:31Speaker 5: basically join the interest list. It's basically the Packers season
- 8:34Speaker 5: tickets suggestion. You have to join the interest list.
- 8:36Speaker 4: Well, we just got our tickets a couple of days ago,
- 8:39Speaker 4: right like, So you buy them in a zone and
- 8:43Speaker 4: you're gonna be in some spot. So it was like outfield,
- 8:47Speaker 4: you know, Loge outfield or whatever, and they just segment
- 8:50Speaker 4: them off that way and it all goes through very
- 8:53Speaker 4: much like you used to be buying concert tickets Drew
- 8:56Speaker 4: where you actually get the wave, you get a time frame,
- 8:59Speaker 4: you missed that time frame, you're gonna get axed out.
- 9:01Speaker 6: Like.
- 9:01Speaker 1: It's much more.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Of an incredible structured process than just I mean, Live
- 9:08Speaker 4: Nation might want to take some notes.
- 9:09Speaker 5: Well, I was gonna say, as the secondary ticket, like
- 9:12Speaker 5: Pilfer's gotten in there, the the you know, the raccoons
- 9:16Speaker 5: in the in the possums of the world.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Have they gotten into this whole world of making money
- 9:21Speaker 1: off these.
- 9:21Speaker 5: Tickets, because it seems like they've done a good job
- 9:23Speaker 5: preventing against that.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think they're pretty. They're pretty.
- 9:28Speaker 1: I think they're pretty locked and key.
- 9:29Speaker 4: I don't know that they're master's level, but I don't
- 9:30Speaker 4: think it's very easy to resell them.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 9:33Speaker 4: We've seen I've seen some people throw them up there
- 9:35Speaker 4: for uh like trade on different systems and they're like, hey,
- 9:41Speaker 4: i'll trade you. And one guy was trying to trade
- 9:45Speaker 4: off four Packers tickets for four Banana Ball tickets for
- 9:48Speaker 4: this weekend.
- 9:48Speaker 5: But that's not bad that that that's two sports fans
- 9:51Speaker 5: making an even I would say even even exchange, right, right, And.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Again, maybe that's the biggest shocker that you're saying. For really,
- 10:00Speaker 4: to a Packers game would be a trade for four
- 10:02Speaker 4: banana Ball tickets. That's an insane offer. It would be
- 10:07Speaker 4: insane if you would have told somebody in twenty nineteen.
- 10:08Speaker 5: I guess it's crazy, but it's reality, and that the
- 10:11Speaker 5: same type of interest, the same demand for it. You know.
- 10:15Speaker 3: I expect a full report on Sunday from both South
- 10:17Speaker 3: Beach Sarians Exploits and Billy's Banana Ball venture.
- 10:21Speaker 4: I'm excited, dude, I am very very excited. And listen
- 10:24Speaker 4: and Logo Beach Coconuts. I might have to bust out
- 10:26Speaker 4: the Jimmy Buffett coconut outfit that I had at that point.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Again, is that fair? Well, you can be the villain
- 10:32Speaker 1: if you want. You play that don't last line?
- 10:34Speaker 4: Well, no, again, it's the The Party Animals are also
- 10:37Speaker 4: again the first villain of the Banana.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I guess you're right. I've got this wrong. Yeah, so
- 10:42Speaker 1: you're cheering for the good guys here.
- 10:43Speaker 4: I guess, But you know what, it's all fun. Actually,
- 10:46Speaker 4: Dolph is the one that we should have asked. I
- 10:48Speaker 4: believe Dolf and I might be speaking out of turn,
- 10:51Speaker 4: but we've had this conversation. One of the young men
- 10:54Speaker 4: that I think played travel ball with his son maybe
- 10:57Speaker 4: is on the Party Animals. Oh okay, so he's gonna play.
- 11:00Speaker 4: So maybe the Party Animals are the hometown team. We'll
- 11:02Speaker 4: have to see.
- 11:03Speaker 1: We'll let's see in all reality.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Whatever roepad looks better that that'll be potentially the team
- 11:08Speaker 4: that I'm that's.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Right, that's right.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Time for our Current Electric Superhero of the Day, brought
- 11:14Speaker 3: to us by our our superheroes at Current Electric. You
- 11:16Speaker 3: see the vans driving around town. It's called current dot Com.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Is the website belly who you got? Well, we talked
- 11:24Speaker 3: about shoeo Tani, but I don't want to give it
- 11:25Speaker 3: to a Dodger. I just can't. I at thirteen in
- 11:28Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. Hard to not go with Jalen Brunson.
- 11:30Speaker 4: And the way that he was somewhat pedestrian and struggled
- 11:35Speaker 4: throughout the night and some again saves his best for
- 11:38Speaker 4: last and wins the fourth quarter, wins Game one, and
- 11:41Speaker 4: the Knicks go off and steal it in San Antonio
- 11:44Speaker 4: one oh five to one hundred or one oh five
- 11:46Speaker 4: ninety five, pardon me, thirty seven minutes, thirty points. He
- 11:50Speaker 4: was two of nine, but he was one of one
- 11:52Speaker 4: from downtown in that fourth quarter, and the three that
- 11:54Speaker 4: he hit puts San or put the Knicks back up
- 11:57Speaker 4: to after the Spurs regained the lead.
- 12:00Speaker 1: It was it was back and forth.
- 12:01Speaker 4: It was a nine oh run by the Knicks, a
- 12:03Speaker 4: nine oh run by the Spurs to retake the lead,
- 12:05Speaker 4: and then an eleven all run to finish for the
- 12:07Speaker 4: for the Ns and deliver a knockout punch. So Jalen
- 12:10Speaker 4: Brunson today, your current Electric MVP and superhero of the day,
- 12:14Speaker 4: call the superheroes a current Electric for all your electrical needs.
- 12:17Speaker 4: With it's outdoor lighting, you need that EV. Check out

- 12:23Speaker 4: Make sure you go call Current dot com. They got
- 12:25Speaker 4: everything for you. It is a sage advice and again
- 12:29Speaker 4: starting to become drew once it gets put into your mind,
- 12:33Speaker 4: you start seeing Current Electric trucks all over the place,
- 12:35Speaker 4: no doubt, like after after you say it and you're like,
- 12:38Speaker 4: you know what, I guess I do see him back
- 12:40Speaker 4: to back days, driving right down the road.
- 12:42Speaker 1: So call Current dot com.

- 14:10Speaker 3: Elsewhere in Chicago, Craig Council is at the podium hoping
- 14:14Speaker 3: someone's phone goes off so he doesn't have to talk
- 14:15Speaker 3: about his team losing again.
- 14:17Speaker 1: How about that?
- 14:18Speaker 3: How about a team that wins fifteen in a row
- 14:19Speaker 3: at home, and now he's lost eight in a row. Dude,
- 14:22Speaker 3: the unfriendly confines the Cubs continue to struggle. Council's quote
- 14:27Speaker 3: postgame last night, we're not winning a lot of baseball
- 14:29Speaker 3: games right now, and we're not playing well.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Enough to win a lot of baseball games. You have
- 14:33Speaker 4: to earn it. We're not earning it, man, And and
- 14:36Speaker 4: they're just finding they're finding new ways.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Throw up four to one against the A's at home
- 14:41Speaker 3: right and puked it away and lost in ten innings.
- 14:43Speaker 4: And when it's when Colin rays on the bump and
- 14:46Speaker 4: you're leading when he when he hands the ball away,
- 14:48Speaker 4: you feel pretty pretty solid about it. It's it's a
- 14:53Speaker 4: wild one, especially in extras. And they lost the other
- 14:56Speaker 4: night on whatever, two to one, three one game. Kurtz
- 15:01Speaker 4: hit a bomb into the wind at Wrigley, and it
- 15:03Speaker 4: was one of those nights where you know offense is
- 15:05Speaker 4: gonna be at a premium. It's it's fascinating to see
- 15:10Speaker 4: still how much favor they can and and how quickly
- 15:14Speaker 4: they could be right back into the race. Everybody is
- 15:17Speaker 4: is ticketing Drew again. The Schoobol conversation is only going
- 15:21Speaker 4: to intensify over the next month and a half before
- 15:23Speaker 4: he ends up getting dealt on July thirty first. But
- 15:28Speaker 4: if the Cubs don't, you know, rectify their own house
- 15:30Speaker 4: and clean up their own house, So, as Mike McCarthy
- 15:32Speaker 4: would say, they're not going to be in enterre school
- 15:34Speaker 4: conversation because it doesn't makes sense to be able to
- 15:36Speaker 4: go and acquire somebody. It looked like they were turning
- 15:38Speaker 4: some things around three or four and then quickly dropped
- 15:40Speaker 4: three straight and two against two against the A's. A sweet,
- 15:44Speaker 4: sweet thing. Couldn't happen to a better team, I'll tell
- 15:46Speaker 4: you that much though with you, well can Phil never
- 15:50Speaker 4: never make me upset to be able to see them struggle.
- 15:53Speaker 4: And now they get the the Giants right after this
- 15:55Speaker 4: things for two day games Friday and Saturday, and then
- 16:00Speaker 4: second straight week Cubs on Sunday night baseball against the
- 16:02Speaker 4: Giants at Wrigley, So that'll be a fun one coming
- 16:05Speaker 4: up for them. Just get the Giants, remotely confident in themselves,
- 16:10Speaker 4: beat them today. But you know it can be a
- 16:13Speaker 4: nice little pussle, a back and forth affair, a good
- 16:15Speaker 4: entertaining ball game.
- 16:16Speaker 1: But let them leave feeling good, rolling down.
- 16:20Speaker 4: To Wrigley Field, so they can take two or three
- 16:22Speaker 4: and then I like that, I like that get them
- 16:23Speaker 4: playing better.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a pretty good idea. Give us the third
- 16:26Speaker 1: win and let them beat the Cubs. That's pretty good.
- 16:29Speaker 4: It is pretty bizarre, though, how bad they got, how
- 16:31Speaker 4: quick they got bad, Like, it's just it's just hard
- 16:34Speaker 4: to fathom. I mean, I understand things changing baseball and
- 16:36Speaker 4: that's the way it works. But they were so good
- 16:39Speaker 4: on a tear and you're like they're gonna maybe run
- 16:41Speaker 4: away with this thing, and then all of a sudden
- 16:42Speaker 4: they can't win at all. What an oddity of the
- 16:44Speaker 4: schedule here for the Cubs though. They host the Giants,
- 16:47Speaker 4: then go to the Colorado Rockies, to the San Francisco Giants,
- 16:51Speaker 4: to then come home and host the Rockies, knock out
- 16:56Speaker 4: all of them in the next twelve So if there's
- 16:57Speaker 4: gonna be a time to feel right about yourself, Drew,
- 17:00Speaker 4: that would be it. It would be now for them
- 17:02Speaker 4: to be able to start feeling a little bit better
- 17:04Speaker 4: about themselves. Absolutely, continue to hit us up eight seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
- 17:08Speaker 4: one ninety seven to three.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Nicolay lot dot Co.
- 17:10Speaker 3: I'm talking text line when we return, we will catch
- 17:13Speaker 3: up with our pal Hunter Bombguard.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Cannot wait.
- 17:16Speaker 4: He gets talking a little more today, Huge day, Big
- 17:19Speaker 4: Hunter day today.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Visiting with us.
- 17:21Speaker 3: He'll be at the ballpark, and I don't know how
- 17:22Speaker 3: he gets much better Milwaukee's Baseball tonight, which is in
- 17:25Speaker 3: essence now Thursday getaway game, postgame show.

- 17:38Speaker 4: listen to on Fox Sports Radio.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Must listen when he joins us, HB four is next.
- 17:43Speaker 3: You are in the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, huddling
- 17:48Speaker 3: up on a Thursday in the good Land, joined now
- 17:52Speaker 3: by our buddy Hunter Bombguard, who's having a big It's
- 17:55Speaker 3: a big Hunter day today, this Giant Series finale, and
- 17:59Speaker 3: then Milwaukee's Baseball tonight.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Firing up at six. Good morning, Hunter, Good morning guys.
- 18:05Speaker 1: How are you fantastic? Fantastic? Now, I'll tell you that much.
- 18:08Speaker 3: We were talking about last night's game. The Giants kicked
- 18:11Speaker 3: the crap out of somebody.
- 18:12Speaker 1: One nothing.
- 18:12Speaker 3: When you've lost seven of eight, you're scuffling and you've
- 18:15Speaker 3: got your ace on the mound.
- 18:17Speaker 1: That's kind of what you want to do. It was
- 18:18Speaker 1: one of those nights with the Brewers.
- 18:19Speaker 3: They had chances late, but you just kind of tip
- 18:21Speaker 3: your cap and that guy pitched great and let's go
- 18:24Speaker 3: get them tomorrow. Was that the vibe, I'm guessing that
- 18:27Speaker 3: was the vibe in my living room? What was it
- 18:29Speaker 3: like in the clubhouse?
- 18:30Speaker 7: Yeah, the same vibe I think from your living room
- 18:33Speaker 7: to the clubhouse. Last night it was the second straight
- 18:35Speaker 7: Wednesday where they've been no hit into the seventh inning,
- 18:37Speaker 7: which is wild because this is also we're talking about
- 18:39Speaker 7: one of the best teams in baseball, one of the
- 18:41Speaker 7: hottest teams in baseball. But for some reason, Dustin May
- 18:44Speaker 7: and Logan Web were able to solve them for a
- 18:47Speaker 7: lot of the game. And then yeah, they had the
- 18:49Speaker 7: rally in the eighth, Ye had they rally in the
- 18:50Speaker 7: ninth and just could not scratch that run across to
- 18:53Speaker 7: tie the game. You kind of felt like, Okay, the
- 18:55Speaker 7: tide was going to turn at some point, like it
- 18:56Speaker 7: did against the Cardinals last week.
- 18:58Speaker 6: It just didn't.
- 18:59Speaker 7: Unfortunately, and like you said, got a tipper cap to
- 19:01Speaker 7: Logan Webb. He's done it against the Brewers so many times,
- 19:04Speaker 7: and he did it again. For some reason, one of
- 19:07Speaker 7: those pitchers that has the Brewer's number. We've seen hitters
- 19:09Speaker 7: over the years have the Brewer's number. He's one of
- 19:12Speaker 7: those pitchers that has as well. For some reason. Pat
- 19:15Speaker 7: Murphy even mentioned it the night before as well, saying
- 19:18Speaker 7: he's had some serious success against us, and boy he
- 19:21Speaker 7: came out and did so. So yeah, that was that
- 19:24Speaker 7: was kind of the sentiment, And yeah, I was thinking
- 19:25Speaker 7: about it. I'm like, man, baseball is just wild. There's
- 19:28Speaker 7: twenty four runs in the first two games of the
- 19:29Speaker 7: series and they don't score in the third game, Like
- 19:32Speaker 7: it's just it. It can be so yeah the next
- 19:36Speaker 7: day of course, like it matters, and momentum can happen
- 19:40Speaker 7: and everything like that. But as Pat Murphy always says,
- 19:43Speaker 7: it's about winning tonight because that game. You know, what
- 19:46Speaker 7: happened yesterday doesn't necessarily mean anything for what's going to
- 19:48Speaker 7: happen today.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Man, I hear that Wednesday stat, Drew, and I just
- 19:51Speaker 4: smile because I can I can already I can already
- 19:54Speaker 4: hear the laugh of like, well that that means nothing.
- 19:56Speaker 4: But then's something that's that's hilarious in the oddity of
- 20:00Speaker 4: it happening. But in the ballpark last night, Hunter, you
- 20:03Speaker 4: could feel that everybody believed that whatever point Web walked
- 20:07Speaker 4: off the mound at ninety four pitches after the seventh inning,
- 20:10Speaker 4: all right, sweet, now there's a chance to win the game.
- 20:12Speaker 1: And there was.
- 20:14Speaker 4: You cleanly had an opportunity, especially the yellowsh double that
- 20:17Speaker 4: started out in the ninth. There were a ton of
- 20:20Speaker 4: opportunities back half of the ball game. But to see
- 20:23Speaker 4: Web calling his own pitches and then just dison you
- 20:25Speaker 4: up and looking back at the second screen in the
- 20:28Speaker 4: right field corner, like to check out the velocity and
- 20:31Speaker 4: see where see what it looked like, it felt like
- 20:34Speaker 4: he was working on stuff last night.
- 20:36Speaker 1: By working you sometimes there's just gonna be that.
- 20:39Speaker 4: And for a ball club that has had the offensive
- 20:43Speaker 4: consistency struggles, albeit the outburst last couple of nights, it
- 20:47Speaker 4: did feel like, Okay, now we can just rip the
- 20:49Speaker 4: page off because there's nothing else that you can do.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Then just tip your cap to that.
- 20:52Speaker 7: Kid exactly exactly, And credit to Robert Gasser and Chad
- 20:58Speaker 7: Patrick for what they did and keeping that game at
- 21:00Speaker 7: a one run game, just like the Brewers did against
- 21:02Speaker 7: the Cardinals last week. It's just the same thing where
- 21:05Speaker 7: you just you have a chance because your pitchers keep
- 21:08Speaker 7: you in the game like they have all season long.
- 21:10Speaker 7: Whoever they throw in that starting role, I know Armine
- 21:13Speaker 7: said it yesterday like whoever is thrown into that role
- 21:16Speaker 7: has done really well. And Gasser is the latest guy
- 21:18Speaker 7: to turn things around after a rough first two starts.
- 21:21Speaker 6: But yeah, that's exactly what it was.
- 21:23Speaker 7: And you know, they had backyard Baseball Night last night,
- 21:26Speaker 7: so all the Brewers were backyard baseball characters on the scoreboard.
- 21:29Speaker 7: But I think the star of the scoreboard was this
- 21:32Speaker 7: guy Billy last night, who was Jumbo Tron at one.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Points on there as well.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Billy didn't tell us buried the league two and a
- 21:41Speaker 4: half hours and Billy didn't tell us he was on
- 21:43Speaker 4: the all right, Billy way to go.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, thank you? Yeah, you know, did you
- 21:47Speaker 1: do it in crazy? Was it just like this one
- 21:48Speaker 1: second deal or.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Well we ended up being on there a decent amount
- 21:51Speaker 4: of time, so because whatever they would walk up from the they.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Walked from the on deck circle being able to catch
- 21:56Speaker 1: the mug. But yeah, it was a good time. I
- 21:59Speaker 1: love that they gave me flow Rider arman Oh, which
- 22:02Speaker 1: one my house? The song a Little Low come on the.
- 22:05Speaker 4: Old school floor when the real ogs thing of flause.
- 22:11Speaker 4: You learned a lot of things about yourself in high
- 22:13Speaker 4: school when that song came out, Bunny, it was it
- 22:15Speaker 4: was a good time to be able to be there.
- 22:17Speaker 4: You mentioned Gasser Hunter, can he earn himself more and
- 22:21Speaker 4: more starts more ops because that little back to back
- 22:24Speaker 4: that pairing looks nice and for a back half of
- 22:28Speaker 4: the rotation that right now is really ravaged by injuries.
- 22:31Speaker 4: I'm wondering how much they're trying to find a pairing
- 22:34Speaker 4: to maybe eat through a number of innings like they
- 22:36Speaker 4: did last night.
- 22:38Speaker 7: Yeah, I was thinking about that too, because I was
- 22:40Speaker 7: thinking about what they're doing with this rotation and how
- 22:42Speaker 7: long Gasser will be up here, because you think about
- 22:45Speaker 7: it there right now, they're going with a six man
- 22:47Speaker 7: rotation because they've got Gasser, Crow, Sproute, Mizerowski, Drowan.
- 22:52Speaker 6: Harrison really is their six guy.
- 22:55Speaker 7: I mean they have five guys over the next you know,
- 22:57Speaker 7: starting last night five straight games of that were not
- 23:00Speaker 7: named Harrison.
- 23:01Speaker 6: Of course, Harrison isn't going anywhere in that rotation, so.
- 23:03Speaker 7: You're technically have a sick now they will they do
- 23:06Speaker 7: that the next time around with the off day. I
- 23:08Speaker 7: don't think so, because they have an off day next Thursday.
- 23:10Speaker 7: So who is kind of that a man out? Is
- 23:12Speaker 7: it Drowing that then goes back into the bullpen. Maybe
- 23:15Speaker 7: that's the most likely because of what Gasser did last
- 23:17Speaker 7: night five innings and only one run, one walk, five strikeouts,
- 23:20Speaker 7: Like he was very solid last night, and so maybe
- 23:23Speaker 7: that earns him another start if he wouldn't have been
- 23:26Speaker 7: maybe they send him down and keep throwing in that
- 23:27Speaker 7: starting rotation. So they're not going to need six guys
- 23:32Speaker 7: coming up, you know, because next weekend really, so what
- 23:36Speaker 7: do they do in the meantime? Do they keep Gasser
- 23:38Speaker 7: and like you said, do a piggyback of Chad Patrick?
- 23:41Speaker 7: Patrick can really piggyback off of any of these guys.
- 23:44Speaker 7: It can be Shane drowing as well. I mean, he
- 23:46Speaker 7: did that four scoreless innings yesterday, and that means he
- 23:50Speaker 7: could probably be ready for four scoreless innings or four
- 23:53Speaker 7: innings whether they're scoreless or not, we'll see. But he's
- 23:55Speaker 7: been really good at one six six ERA out of
- 23:57Speaker 7: the bullpen so far this year over nine relief appearances.
- 24:00Speaker 7: He could do that for Shane Rowan on Sunday, possibly
- 24:03Speaker 7: just because of how he is set up and the
- 24:05Speaker 7: workload he is able to take on and the efficiency
- 24:08Speaker 7: with which he has worked out of the bullpen. So
- 24:11Speaker 7: I'm curious to see what they do because right now
- 24:13Speaker 7: they're set up to have six starters, but you don't
- 24:15Speaker 7: want to necessarily be one guy down in the bullpen.
- 24:19Speaker 7: I mean, do they send Robert Gasser down quickly again
- 24:22Speaker 7: and try to get a fresh arm up here for
- 24:24Speaker 7: the next foreseeable future, because they're down a man in
- 24:26Speaker 7: that bullpen right now, with rob Z going back on
- 24:28Speaker 7: the IL and Gasser coming up for a starting spot
- 24:31Speaker 7: last night. So I'm curious to see what they do there.
- 24:34Speaker 7: But I think he's earned another one and I'd like
- 24:36Speaker 7: to see him kind of be part of this starting rotation.
- 24:39Speaker 7: I think if Shane Drowan can be a long relief guy,
- 24:42Speaker 7: you're in good shape. I mean, Shane Rowan starting is
- 24:45Speaker 7: also fine because he's pitched well really in any capacity
- 24:48Speaker 7: that you put him in. But maybe you have Gasser,
- 24:51Speaker 7: crow Sprote, miss Rowski, and Harrison right now as your
- 24:55Speaker 7: five in any order, and then you have Shane Drowan
- 24:58Speaker 7: come out of the bullpen, you have Chad coming out
- 25:00Speaker 7: of the bullpen, and then.
- 25:02Speaker 6: Wait for what Driff and Priest to come back.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Yes, pretty amazing good. Every guy you just mentioned, well,
- 25:07Speaker 5: Grady's done. That's all I'm gonna say.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Is having those guys stretched and ready to go longer
- 25:11Speaker 3: is definitely a help. We're talking to Hunter bomb Guard,
- 25:14Speaker 3: our baseball go to guy here in the huddle. Hunter,
- 25:16Speaker 3: of course, brought to us by our pals that import
- 25:18Speaker 3: minded all right, Hunter, the Orthetic Associates of Wisconsin Injury report.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Jared Kanning had a comeback, Priest had a setback that
- 25:25Speaker 3: we talked about last time. But the interesting story to
- 25:28Speaker 3: me and Brewers medically is Luis Pania, the prospect who
- 25:32Speaker 3: keeps on having health issues for the Timber Rattlers.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:35Speaker 1: That's a scary. Yeah, that's very strange.
- 25:38Speaker 3: I mean he left Tuesday's game with another illness just
- 25:41Speaker 3: after coming back and he was out for what a
- 25:43Speaker 3: month after that scary situation where they had to get
- 25:45Speaker 3: him out of the Ducktown.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Seemed like it. So that's one to watch for sure.
- 25:49Speaker 7: One of the top prospects in the Brewers system, and
- 25:53Speaker 7: we have not gotten an update from Maybe we will today,
- 25:56Speaker 7: but other than that, he had left the game a
- 25:57Speaker 7: couple of nights ago with that illness, and so we'll see.
- 26:01Speaker 7: I Yeah, that's just it's like you said, it's kind
- 26:04Speaker 7: of scary considering what happened. And then he had to
- 26:06Speaker 7: build back up kind of not the pictures we used
- 26:09Speaker 7: that term build back up a lot, but he kind
- 26:11Speaker 7: of did. He went to Arizona, made sure he was
- 26:13Speaker 7: he could play in games, and then he was activated
- 26:15Speaker 7: off the IL, and then soon after just a few
- 26:18Speaker 7: days really, he unfortunately left the game less than a
- 26:21Speaker 7: week later.
- 26:21Speaker 6: So yeah, we'll keep you posted on that.
- 26:23Speaker 7: The other injuries, we got a slew of injury updates yesterday.
- 26:27Speaker 7: One is that Logan Henderson got an injection for his
- 26:30Speaker 7: back and so he's not going to be ready to
- 26:31Speaker 7: late June or early July.
- 26:33Speaker 6: They're projecting it's.
- 26:35Speaker 7: You know, he went on the Memorial Day was when
- 26:37Speaker 7: he when he went on the IL, So fifteen days
- 26:39Speaker 7: about June tenth, he would be eligible and you're kind
- 26:41Speaker 7: of hoping it would be a more of a minimum stay,
- 26:43Speaker 7: but this sounds like it's going to be a month
- 26:45Speaker 7: plus injury when it's all said and done, So that's
- 26:48Speaker 7: what he's looking at. Jared Kanig is still rolling down
- 26:52Speaker 7: there in triple A, and so he continues his rehab assignment.
- 26:57Speaker 7: His estimated return is early to mid June, so we
- 26:59Speaker 7: can see him, I would say the next week or so.
- 27:02Speaker 7: It's possible to see Jared Kanig. Quinn Priester good news.
- 27:06Speaker 7: He threw three point two three and two thirds innings
- 27:09Speaker 7: now with no issue for the ACL Brewers after his
- 27:13Speaker 7: rehab assignment was transferred from Nashville to Arizona. On Tuesday night,
- 27:17Speaker 7: he threw three and two thirds and was pain free,
- 27:21Speaker 7: according to Pat Murphy, and Pat Murphy said it went
- 27:23Speaker 7: much better.
- 27:24Speaker 6: So it's you know, obviously.
- 27:26Speaker 7: The competition is not the same at the ACL Brewers,
- 27:29Speaker 7: but they're able to have a little more of a
- 27:30Speaker 7: controlled environment, and so I am interested to see how
- 27:34Speaker 7: that helps him, even if it's just mentally to go
- 27:37Speaker 7: through it. And they're still projecting a possible return in June,
- 27:40Speaker 7: so we're June fourth right now. I wouldn't think, you know,
- 27:43Speaker 7: I would think they're going to do at least maybe
- 27:45Speaker 7: three more outings down there. That's just a guess on
- 27:48Speaker 7: my part, but it's not going to be, you know,
- 27:50Speaker 7: anytime imminent that he is going to come back. But
- 27:53Speaker 7: that's great that that first outing in Arizona helped and
- 27:56Speaker 7: went well. Brandon Woodriff yesterday we saw him taking LIVEVP
- 27:59Speaker 7: while we were waiting to talk to Pat Murphy.
- 28:01Speaker 6: Yesterday.
- 28:02Speaker 7: He was facing Brandon Lockridge and Blake Perkins. A LIVEVP
- 28:05Speaker 7: is basically like a simulated game where he faces hitters
- 28:07Speaker 7: on the field and he threw forty two pitches three ups,
- 28:11Speaker 7: like basically three innings, and his estimated return is still
- 28:15Speaker 7: sometime in June. Pat Murphy said, they're going to see
- 28:17Speaker 7: how he his body comes back and that bounces back,
- 28:20Speaker 7: and then basically decide whether he needs any sort of
- 28:23Speaker 7: a rehab assignment what his next step would be. But
- 28:25Speaker 7: Pat Murphy stressed to us, I don't want to come
- 28:27Speaker 7: I don't want to have him come back unless he's
- 28:29Speaker 7: fully confident, you know that he can be back himself.
- 28:32Speaker 7: So I think that's going to be very much a
- 28:34Speaker 7: collaborative decision between Woodroff and the organization as to when
- 28:38Speaker 7: he returned.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty two and a half million reasons to wait.
- 28:42Speaker 4: As much as it sounds like you do the exact
- 28:45Speaker 4: same thing with parsons. As he said yesterday in Green Bay,
- 28:48Speaker 4: this isn't about winning games in the middle of the year.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Those are nice right now, we're winning enough of them
- 28:52Speaker 4: that I don't think it's a big deal. But you
- 28:55Speaker 4: hold that rifle until you know that you're going to
- 28:58Speaker 4: be able to be deployed in oct over because they
- 29:00Speaker 4: just haven't had them in so long.
- 29:03Speaker 1: What's the scuttle?
- 29:04Speaker 4: But if there's any hunter, as much as there is
- 29:07Speaker 4: in the fandom and in the seats about the left
- 29:10Speaker 4: side of the infield, because like that, as much as
- 29:13Speaker 4: especially when you're getting no hit, that's gonna happen, Like
- 29:16Speaker 4: what what's happening with these bats? Of course we need something.
- 29:19Speaker 4: And Luis Renifo has had a couple of better at bats,
- 29:22Speaker 4: Joey Ortiz found himself an extra base hit. David Hamilton
- 29:26Speaker 4: is find his way on a little bit. But what's
- 29:28Speaker 4: is there as much conversation of the two young men
- 29:31Speaker 4: that people believe they could just swap up here of
- 29:35Speaker 4: Jet Williams and Cooper Pratt for that left side of
- 29:37Speaker 4: the infield in Brewers circles as much as there is
- 29:41Speaker 4: in the fandoms and on our YouTube chat.
- 29:44Speaker 7: I think there is amongst us reporters at least, you know,
- 29:48Speaker 7: continuing that discussion and trying to figure out when that
- 29:51Speaker 7: might happen, What the what would lead to those call ups?
- 29:55Speaker 7: You know, June first came and you kind of thought, okay,
- 29:57Speaker 7: maybe that's a marker that they want to bring some
- 30:00Speaker 7: one up, you know, and we're kind of seeing if
- 30:03Speaker 7: maybe Monday there would be a call up and nothing there.
- 30:07Speaker 7: What I have noticed is David Hamilton's playing a lot
- 30:09Speaker 7: more shortstop than Joy ortis right now. If they look
- 30:11Speaker 7: at the last week or so, he's he's kind of
- 30:14Speaker 7: got the starting role right now, and Joy Artist is
- 30:16Speaker 7: coming in late in games off the bench to yeah,
- 30:20Speaker 7: the defensive substitution. So that has been a change. I
- 30:24Speaker 7: mean they were going with a lot of Joey or
- 30:26Speaker 7: at least a platoon. It's been a lot of David
- 30:28Speaker 7: Hamilton against whether it's lefty, right, whatever it happens to be.
- 30:33Speaker 7: That's been a lot now. I would think, you know,
- 30:36Speaker 7: it depends on who's out there, whether it's a righty
- 30:38Speaker 7: or a lefty. Maybe you could go a little more platoon,
- 30:40Speaker 7: but overall, they like what David Hamilton is doing. Not
- 30:43Speaker 7: that David Hamilton is not going to cover off the ball,
- 30:46Speaker 7: but he's been a little better as of late, some
- 30:48Speaker 7: of the you know, he's been driving the ball just
- 30:50Speaker 7: a little more, just seeing showing his.
- 30:53Speaker 6: Also his range at shortstop.
- 30:55Speaker 7: Like Joy Ortis is really good defensively at getting any.
- 30:59Speaker 6: Ball that's kind of hear him. But the range that
- 31:02Speaker 6: Hamilton has.
- 31:03Speaker 7: Is better than Joey Ortiz, the way the amount of
- 31:06Speaker 7: balls that he can get to over there at shortstop,
- 31:09Speaker 7: just because of his speed and the jump he has
- 31:11Speaker 7: and some of the balls he you know, I'm like, oh,
- 31:13Speaker 7: that's ticketed for left field and he's able to at
- 31:15Speaker 7: least dive and knock it down or something like that.
- 31:18Speaker 7: That that is intriguing, I think to the Brewers as well.
- 31:21Speaker 7: And then Renhifoh with a couple of really nice plays
- 31:24Speaker 7: last night, the one that they got up there on
- 31:27Speaker 7: the hops. I didn't know Renhifo had the type of
- 31:29Speaker 7: hops he showed last night, but boy he got up
- 31:31Speaker 7: there in one of those. So I still think it's
- 31:34Speaker 7: if and their defense has been up and down.
- 31:36Speaker 6: Right.
- 31:37Speaker 7: Hamilton had the game where he had the air and
- 31:38Speaker 7: then two like magnificent plays. Renhifoh has had those type
- 31:42Speaker 7: of knights as well. I still think that and Renifo
- 31:45Speaker 7: had a key air over the weekend in Houston. But
- 31:47Speaker 7: if if their defense starts to waiver, and we've seen
- 31:51Speaker 7: it kind of get shaky at times and then they've
- 31:54Speaker 7: kind of pulled out of it, But if the defense
- 31:55Speaker 7: starts to waiver, then I think that's when you could
- 31:57Speaker 7: see a Pratt or Williams. I I don't know if
- 32:01Speaker 7: I'm surprised we haven't seen him yet. But now that
- 32:03Speaker 7: we're past Memorial Day, now that we're more than two
- 32:05Speaker 7: months in, we're you know, sixty eight, we're a third
- 32:07Speaker 7: away into the season, that's when you really start to think, Okay,
- 32:10Speaker 7: what can make this team better? And I as much
- 32:14Speaker 7: as they you know, I know they paid Cooper Pratt,
- 32:16Speaker 7: but I would really like to see Jet Williams on
- 32:18Speaker 7: this team. He's, you know, one of the I think
- 32:20Speaker 7: he's the third rank prospect according to MLB, and I
- 32:23Speaker 7: just want to see I feel like he could be
- 32:25Speaker 7: kind of the Durbin of last year and provide that
- 32:28Speaker 7: spark to this team.
- 32:29Speaker 6: Is not that they necessarily need it. They're thirty seven
- 32:31Speaker 6: and twenty two, but just.
- 32:32Speaker 7: To try to solve that left side of the infield
- 32:35Speaker 7: a little bit and provide a little more because one
- 32:38Speaker 7: of the things this team did really well last year
- 32:40Speaker 7: is hit one through eight.
- 32:41Speaker 6: You were really solid in the order.
- 32:42Speaker 7: Joey RTIs depending was if he at the nine spot,
- 32:45Speaker 7: but otherwise you were really solid one through eight. Right now,
- 32:47Speaker 7: it's kind of one through six and then it's like, okay,
- 32:49Speaker 7: we'll Freelick be able to turn and Felix turned around
- 32:52Speaker 7: a little bit, but otherwise there's some iffinus down there.
- 32:55Speaker 7: And one of the reasons they won ninety seven games
- 32:57Speaker 7: is because they had the one through eight solid lineup
- 32:59Speaker 7: last night last year, and I feel like that would
- 33:02Speaker 7: help if maybe they call one of those guys.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Up to That's a good point.
- 33:04Speaker 5: Yeah, you expect a little bit of improvement obviously from Freelick.
- 33:07Speaker 1: I think it will steadily rise.
- 33:09Speaker 4: I think he finally has more extra base hits than
- 33:11Speaker 4: Catcher's interferences.
- 33:12Speaker 1: That's big. That's like the thing a number. He has
- 33:15Speaker 1: enough of a baseline where you do expect it to
- 33:16Speaker 1: rise eventually. He's a big part of it. And I
- 33:19Speaker 1: think you mentioned it.
- 33:20Speaker 5: The thing is they've been winning so much in the
- 33:23Speaker 5: midst of this, it's hard to make too many changes.
- 33:25Speaker 5: It's easier to be patient. Let's say, when you're winning
- 33:28Speaker 5: so much. If the Brewers were not winning and there
- 33:31Speaker 5: was a little bit like there were the Cubs right now,
- 33:32Speaker 5: like a r we got to do something, We've got
- 33:34Speaker 5: to change something. You had that sort of instinct, right,
- 33:37Speaker 5: But but they're not. They're winning so much. So the
- 33:39Speaker 5: good thing is they've been able to win amidst those weaknesses.
- 33:43Speaker 5: And another good point, Uh, the defense doesn't really drop
- 33:46Speaker 5: off much at all when Hamilton's in there instead of
- 33:48Speaker 5: more tease. I mean, I think that's one thing. Ortiz
- 33:50Speaker 5: hasn't been really good defensively, so was Hamilton. So all
- 33:53Speaker 5: those things working together. I think that's why we can
- 33:55Speaker 5: be a little bit patient right now.
- 33:58Speaker 6: Well yeah, I know, I think so.
- 34:00Speaker 1: I think.
- 34:00Speaker 7: And look, when you're fifteen games over five hundred, it's
- 34:04Speaker 7: hard to make a drastic move in any sort of way,
- 34:06Speaker 7: right because you're just you're winning baseball games. So I
- 34:10Speaker 7: think that is really a major factor here. As much
- 34:12Speaker 7: as we want to say and look at the team
- 34:14Speaker 7: and look, they they always want to get better. And
- 34:17Speaker 7: Murphy said it last night, I think it was last
- 34:19Speaker 7: night at the podium saying like, yes, we're in first place,
- 34:21Speaker 7: but we're always focused on getting better and how how
- 34:24Speaker 7: can we get better. He was talking about that last night,
- 34:26Speaker 7: talking about his conversations with Robert Gasser about what he
- 34:29Speaker 7: needs to do and throw more strikes and and everything
- 34:32Speaker 7: like that, like it's it's there. They may be, you know,
- 34:35Speaker 7: one of the better teams in baseball record wise, but
- 34:37Speaker 7: there's still room for growth and that's what makes it
- 34:39Speaker 7: exciting about what this team could be come July and
- 34:42Speaker 7: August and September and October and the way this team
- 34:45Speaker 7: could improve. And now you got you know, the MLB
- 34:47Speaker 7: network trying to stress that they could go get Trek School.
- 34:50Speaker 6: So we'll see about that.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Yeah, that might that would have that'll affect the CBA
- 34:57Speaker 3: change example a little bit. Yeah, that might change things
- 35:00Speaker 3: if they make that deal. No matter what happens, that's
- 35:02Speaker 3: going to affect the negotiations. Anything else we need to
- 35:04Speaker 3: know going into today. We were saying earlier Hunter, it's
- 35:08Speaker 3: tough to win a four game series. Brewers have a
- 35:10Speaker 3: chance if they win today on the way out and
- 35:12Speaker 3: then they have that Colorado trip looming get to see
- 35:15Speaker 3: miss pitch in coursfield, which would be interesting. Any anything
- 35:19Speaker 3: else we need to know today?
- 35:21Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you got Coleman Crow making his home debut.
- 35:24Speaker 7: He's not pitched an American family field yet. It's been
- 35:26Speaker 7: all three of his starts so far. I've been on
- 35:28Speaker 7: the road Miami, Minnesota, and Houston. So looking forward to
- 35:32Speaker 7: seeing him and getting a chance to see him up
- 35:35Speaker 7: close here this afternoon. You're facing former brewer Adrian Howser
- 35:38Speaker 7: this afternoon as well. And look the probables came out
- 35:41Speaker 7: for the for the weekend. You've got Brandon Sproute sticking
- 35:43Speaker 7: in that rotation.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Uh.
- 35:45Speaker 7: And he'll start that first game in Colorado coming up tomorrow,
- 35:48Speaker 7: just you know, another opportunity to see what he can
- 35:50Speaker 7: do obviously.
- 35:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 35:52Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like you just you hope that he can
- 35:55Speaker 7: bounce back from his Saturday outing against Houston.
- 35:58Speaker 6: Uh. And we're kind of seeing hope.
- 36:00Speaker 7: What I'm hoping is we kind of see him grow
- 36:02Speaker 7: in front of our eyes.
- 36:03Speaker 6: And can you know it.
- 36:05Speaker 4: Just Hunter, I've done a one eighties. I want him
- 36:07Speaker 4: to get two more starts, like I thought I've I
- 36:10Speaker 4: was almost ready for him to now Drew, like you said,
- 36:13Speaker 4: after you you watched the guy struggle for a month
- 36:15Speaker 4: and a half, let's give him a week. I actually
- 36:17Speaker 4: want to see him get too, because this one's gonna
- 36:19Speaker 4: be tough, and that's that's a tough bargain there in Colorado.
- 36:23Speaker 4: But don't you have to see how he can bounce back.
- 36:25Speaker 4: That's all a part of the development. I think so absolutely.
- 36:29Speaker 1: I think you.
- 36:30Speaker 7: I think you give him at least a couple and I, well, look,
- 36:34Speaker 7: here's the thing too, they kind of need him right now,
- 36:36Speaker 7: so I don't I don't know a whole lot of
- 36:37Speaker 7: heart is well, that's exactly it. So I just feel
- 36:40Speaker 7: like they're like, you know, what, he can We know
- 36:44Speaker 7: he's really good when he's when he's good, he's really good.
- 36:47Speaker 7: So can we hopefully tap into that. I'm sure Chris Hook,
- 36:50Speaker 7: Jim Anderson, they're all working as hard as they can
- 36:52Speaker 7: on his you know, days between starts to try to
- 36:55Speaker 7: improve things. And I at some point, I do believe
- 36:58Speaker 7: it's going to click for the guy. You hope obviously
- 37:01Speaker 7: it's sooner rather than later. And maybe a good starting
- 37:04Speaker 7: corpse field is on the tap coming up tomorrow night,
- 37:06Speaker 7: and maybe that can propel him moving forward all.
- 37:08Speaker 3: Right, Hunter, great stuff as always, have yourself a wonderful
- 37:11Speaker 3: day and enjoy. We'll be looking forward to Milwaukee's baseball tonight,
- 37:15Speaker 3: which is in essence today postgame show.

- 40:10Speaker 4: It was a quick video it's a quick claim to
- 40:12Speaker 4: fame for one individual who decided that he was going
- 40:14Speaker 4: to take a picture with Victor Wembin Yama ran onto
- 40:17Speaker 4: the floor last night in Game one of the NBA
- 40:19Speaker 4: Finals to take a selfie with Wemby. He got Wemby
- 40:22Speaker 4: to smile. Wemby said, I've never been in that situation.
- 40:24Speaker 4: I actually didn't know how to act. Ah, but he
- 40:27Speaker 4: had too many drift seltzers because my man didn't even
- 40:29Speaker 4: get Wemby's face.
- 40:30Speaker 1: In the frame. Hard to do.
- 40:32Speaker 4: When he said video is out, he goes, this is
- 40:34Speaker 4: the point of view when you're running on and all
- 40:36Speaker 4: he gets is Wemby's chest. He does get spurs number
- 40:39Speaker 4: one on the video, but kind of missed the money shot.
