0:00
Speaker 1: We're on Friday Eve and we're locked and loaded. It's
0:04
Speaker 1: Drew Wilson, Bill schmid armand sorry. And this is where
0:07
Speaker 1: we wrestle with the existential questions of the day, such as,
0:12
Speaker 1: is kristin Yelich hot?
0:13
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, all the way back, let's go, that's
0:16
Speaker 2: the right way to start. Someone tell me is like, well,
0:19
Speaker 2: first of all, I know it's a card term, but
0:21
Speaker 2: I don't play a lot of cards.
0:24
Speaker 1: I mean when does every when does someone say I'm uh,
0:28
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm really scuffling, I'm really on the schneid.
0:34
Speaker 1: If you're off the schneid, that's what people would say, right.
0:36
Speaker 2: That's off. That's like the old wagon. I fell off
0:42
Speaker 2: the wagon, crushed about twelve high life on Saturday. Like,
0:47
Speaker 2: let's say you're going sober, Like does account if you
0:49
Speaker 2: do it one day? But no one's like on the wagon, okay,
0:54
Speaker 2: you honor you off the wagon, but off the schneid?
0:58
Speaker 2: Just does one game? Is that? Is it a turning point?
1:01
Speaker 2: Is it? Well? Certainly well needed. Folks were a little
1:04
Speaker 2: bit more chipper and excited to see him coming. Yeah. Well,
1:08
Speaker 2: the first tip bat little jeers. First a bat wasn't successful, right, no, not,
1:14
Speaker 2: But then okay, schemes whatever. But then we did a
1:18
Speaker 2: couple of hits, a couple of a couple of stakes,
1:20
Speaker 2: a couple of ribbis, and suddenly it's like, well that's
1:23
Speaker 2: what are we now? What are we going to pitch about?
1:25
Speaker 2: Now it's old news, right, A couple of hits, a
1:27
Speaker 2: stolen base and RBI and and now it's all done.
1:30
Speaker 2: Uh he he gets the uh the the little bit
1:33
Speaker 2: of a joking sarcastic standing ovation from a couple uh
1:37
Speaker 2: in the midst before that second at bat, a little
1:39
Speaker 2: bit louder ovation was the second one? Wasn't that more encouraging?
1:42
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was sarcastic? Come on, come on,
1:45
Speaker 2: let's go interesting question like yeah, well I think it was.
1:49
Speaker 2: I think it was coming from a place of people
1:51
Speaker 2: are like, well it doesn't work to boo him, and
1:53
Speaker 2: Murph's like, you should appreciate him. So let's just like
1:55
Speaker 2: try the try the reverse psychology, Like didn't we say
1:58
Speaker 2: that with Machado, Like we were gonna freak him out
2:00
Speaker 2: by giving standing over here? But when your mom says,
2:03
Speaker 2: you know you need to be a little bit nicer
2:04
Speaker 2: to harmin right, like that means that you're gonna be
2:06
Speaker 2: a little overly nice and try to make sure that
2:09
Speaker 2: everybody sees it. And there were a lot of people
2:11
Speaker 2: letting you know, hey, man, we are Murph, we're in,
2:13
Speaker 2: we're we're back here, we're here, We're here for you,
2:16
Speaker 2: and at the perfect following order, Oh my goodness, we're
2:19
Speaker 2: just listening to the manager, Drew, You're right, this is
2:21
Speaker 2: a great question, like maybe maybe a more cynical mind
2:24
Speaker 2: would think of what the people doing that we're kind
2:26
Speaker 2: of being sarcastic, Billy to your point, I'm not calling
2:29
Speaker 2: you cynical. I'm just saying, hey, you can you can, Yeah,
2:32
Speaker 2: you can't, because you probably would be kind of right.
2:35
Speaker 2: I actually think you have a point that the first
2:37
Speaker 2: one might have been a little more sarcastic, like the
2:40
Speaker 2: first step bag oh, Dad told us we gotta we
2:42
Speaker 2: gotta say something nice to you now, all right, so
2:44
Speaker 2: we'll do it. And then once they did it, of course,
2:47
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't dismiss the fact that the energy
2:49
Speaker 2: on social media was picking up for this, like there
2:51
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a social media kind of
2:52
Speaker 2: I always a campaigns the right word, but there was
2:55
Speaker 2: there was some energy on social media, like like get
2:57
Speaker 2: the word out, we're all gonna cheer for yell edge
2:59
Speaker 2: type of thing. But I think the second one was
3:01
Speaker 2: a little more sincere. I don't know why I felt
3:04
Speaker 2: that way. Like the first one feel felt a little
3:06
Speaker 2: more like, oh, yeah, we're gonna do this, We're gonna
3:08
Speaker 2: just do this to show up orph but the second
3:11
Speaker 2: one was like, you know what, this is pretty good.
3:12
Speaker 2: Let's just do this every time. And then it worked,
3:15
Speaker 2: so then you're like, oh, see see what we can
3:17
Speaker 2: now'er in, see what we can do now when you
3:20
Speaker 2: see results, Like when you're a fan like this and
3:22
Speaker 2: you're wondering about this and it's like is this matter?
3:25
Speaker 2: But then when you see results of what you do,
3:27
Speaker 2: it does kind of gass you up a bit and
3:28
Speaker 2: you say, you know what, we can have a difference.
3:30
Speaker 2: It's no longer the power of friendship, the power of
3:33
Speaker 2: positive thinking, yeah, come on now, the magic of thinking
3:36
Speaker 2: big all these book titles drew you're not a wrestling fan,
3:38
Speaker 2: But there was this group called the New Day and
3:40
Speaker 2: they would say it is a New Day, Yes it is,
3:42
Speaker 2: and their whole banking on what's the power of positivity.
3:45
Speaker 2: Then it can change the world even if you don't
3:48
Speaker 2: like us, and you should be positive. And some people
3:51
Speaker 2: might not like it, like it, some might not love it,
3:53
Speaker 2: but you love the results last night. And I do
3:57
Speaker 2: also think that there is a good communal ex experience
4:00
Speaker 2: and knowing that everybody's getting behind the young man, Uh
4:03
Speaker 2: have some fun and and go after it. But the
4:06
Speaker 2: meat of the order, Holy cow, welcome back to the party.
4:09
Speaker 2: I mean as as Yelich is the headliner there. Uh,
4:12
Speaker 2: welcome back to the party, William Contreras. Yesterday we got
4:15
Speaker 2: to see Jackson Surio on the three hit day and uh,
4:18
Speaker 2: slowly the offensive tie offensive tide. Uh in the offense
4:22
Speaker 2: can get off that schneid a little bit. You're I
4:23
Speaker 2: always think it's like one couple you you got to
4:27
Speaker 2: get one winning spin, because I'm thinking this as a
4:29
Speaker 2: slot machine. I'm playing over at Potawatamy and I'm just
4:31
Speaker 2: getting absolutely tanked off, losing five straight, six straight, seven straight.
4:35
Speaker 2: Then you get a winning spin. All right, we're off
4:36
Speaker 2: the schnine. Now we get rolling. Now you're off. Now
4:40
Speaker 2: everyone's gotten the hits. Now we've won two straight. Let's
4:42
Speaker 2: go win three er thing over three of five. Today
4:46
Speaker 2: is a tipping point game, and today it's May Day.
4:49
Speaker 2: Dustin May makes his debut for the your Milwaukee Brewers
4:52
Speaker 2: this afternoon against noted financier Brexton Ashcraft. Definitely resta our son, Braxton.
5:01
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's having a great year at prep school.
5:03
Speaker 2: Great one. Yes, killing us. Well, he's he's you know,
5:09
Speaker 2: he was a nutting fam Yeah, he's got he's got
5:12
Speaker 2: an interview at Princeton. You know, he's captain of the
5:15
Speaker 2: lacrosse team. Another fine Phillips Exeter boy. Yes, yeah, there's
5:18
Speaker 2: a Craft and a definite sweater around the around the neck.
5:22
Speaker 2: He was an Ashcraft does not to me sound like
5:25
Speaker 2: a major league pitcher. He sounds like a guy who's
5:27
Speaker 2: in mergers and acquisitions. But he got a he got
5:29
Speaker 2: the lucky uh lucky lottery ticket. Is he won and
5:32
Speaker 2: made the All Star team this year. Some folks were
5:34
Speaker 2: very excited and jealous that him and his uh significant
5:38
Speaker 2: other got to ride on the Livvy Dune private plane
5:41
Speaker 2: TV All Star Game. They got, they got the Pittsburgh treatment.
5:45
Speaker 2: When it wouldn't be excited. When I was gonna say,
5:47
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it was a Livy. I'm definitely not thinking
5:49
Speaker 2: it was a Bob Nutting experience and nice to me
5:52
Speaker 2: in the stars orbit. That was what the case was
5:54
Speaker 2: with the other tight ends around Kelsey when they got
5:56
Speaker 2: to fly with course, when they got to hang on
5:58
Speaker 2: Taylor and all the tight ends. I think it's Bell,
6:01
Speaker 2: Blake Bell, Scott Blake Bell, Skyler Bell's former badger now
6:04
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. Of course, yes, Skyler Bell. So that
6:08
Speaker 2: was the same deal there. It's like if you like
6:10
Speaker 2: the practice squad tight end and you get activated for
6:12
Speaker 2: a few games, but you're in the tight ends from
6:14
Speaker 2: m Kelsey and then you get to hang out with
6:15
Speaker 2: Taylor by the way, or same idea. I don't know
6:18
Speaker 2: that everybody thinks that about Taylor, but yes, by the way,
6:20
Speaker 2: if we're playing the name game, Skyler Bell either a
6:23
Speaker 2: wide receiver or a star in the adult film, I
6:26
Speaker 2: was gonna say, yeah, or you could potentially see a
6:28
Speaker 2: little Darlings. I apologize for offending you on that one arm,
6:31
Speaker 2: and I apologize for offending you that twenty three year
6:33
Speaker 2: olds are thinking more of Livy Done than they are
6:35
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. They're not that excited to be hanging out
6:38
Speaker 2: with Taylor Swift. But yeah, my point was that, well
6:40
Speaker 2: some are. I mean, the point depends on who you are.
6:42
Speaker 2: But my point was, it's the same idea like if
6:44
Speaker 2: you get oh, you get in the stars, orbit, you
6:45
Speaker 2: get private jets, you get all these things. However, I mean,
6:49
Speaker 2: these have been big wins. Like the thing is, the
6:51
Speaker 2: Cubs are you know, hot as well. Obviously they just
6:54
Speaker 2: swept the Dodgers. They don't lose, so it's like it
6:56
Speaker 2: catch me if you can situation, yea, because the Brewers
6:59
Speaker 2: you know, keep doing their thing. But I haven't been
7:02
Speaker 2: able to separate it all from the Cubs. But that's okay.
7:04
Speaker 2: That's the way baseball goes when multiple teams are hot.
7:07
Speaker 2: It's it's just a pretty interesting deal right now on
7:09
Speaker 2: the NL Central and in the West for I mean
7:11
Speaker 2: obviously as well, a lot of interesting race is heating up.
7:13
Speaker 2: But last night was great because it showed the power
7:16
Speaker 2: we have as fans.
7:17
Speaker 3: Right.
7:17
Speaker 2: I always believe that I always like to believe that
7:19
Speaker 2: that's the you know, as a forty two year old
7:21
Speaker 2: man tomorrow, the cock eyed optimist in me, that twelve
7:24
Speaker 2: year old boy still wants to believe that I can
7:26
Speaker 2: make a difference as a fan. That I'm the reason
7:28
Speaker 2: that we can become better, that we can have a
7:30
Speaker 2: collective effort that if we do put the shirt on,
7:33
Speaker 2: it'll help my team win. I have to believe that
7:35
Speaker 2: that's part of my ds a sports fan and if
7:38
Speaker 2: I don't know something, so yesterday it proved it a
7:41
Speaker 2: little bit for me again and I love that feeling,
7:44
Speaker 2: you know, And see what a little power or positive
7:46
Speaker 2: energy can do when you'll lift somebody up. So we
7:49
Speaker 2: can do all right, now there you go, all right,
7:52
Speaker 2: by the way, Billy, I don't know if you caught that.
7:54
Speaker 2: If you if you jotted it down. But Arman just
7:56
Speaker 2: told us his birthdays Tomorrow. He's opened the door because
8:01
Speaker 2: it's yeah, ull get me. Eight seven is the day
8:05
Speaker 2: that we are going to Yeah, we'll have to there
8:07
Speaker 2: will have to be cake. Don't do any well, Uh,
8:10
Speaker 2: I don't want to. So now is it a big
8:13
Speaker 2: deal in your house?
8:13
Speaker 1: Because you guys both have the young children and birthdays,
8:16
Speaker 1: you go over the top with them until you get
8:18
Speaker 1: to like eleven, twelve thirteen.
8:20
Speaker 2: Then they just want cash and they just want to
8:21
Speaker 2: go out with their friends. Right. They don't want to
8:23
Speaker 2: be here. So you go over the top and you
8:24
Speaker 2: celebrate birthdays hard.
8:26
Speaker 1: And then it's like at a certain point, kids, any
8:30
Speaker 1: birthday party, any sign of cake and balloons, they think
8:32
Speaker 1: it's for them, even if it's not. And then if
8:36
Speaker 1: it's your birthday, it's like it's up to your wife,
8:38
Speaker 1: who most wives are too tired and just sick of
8:41
Speaker 1: looking at you to make.
8:42
Speaker 2: It a big deal about your birthday. You might get
8:44
Speaker 2: like something that you like for dinner, or my wife said,
8:47
Speaker 2: what do you want to do for your birthday next? Man,
8:49
Speaker 2: I don't know. Take a nap, yes, sleep like that.
8:52

9:01
Speaker 2: Celebrate with that, right, and Lars the same way. I'm like,

Speaker 2: I've never been a big I never organized a party
9:08
Speaker 2: for myself. She did for me once bang birthday for

Speaker 2: that was amazing, But I've never done that. I've never
9:14
Speaker 2: really been that what I mean into it. But she well,
9:18
Speaker 2: we'll do something. I think we're gonna go. We're gonna

Speaker 2: well friends over at paw Yeah, go to dream dance gonna.
9:29
Speaker 2: You know, I actually don't even know if I've eaten
9:31
Speaker 2: there yet, maybe once, years and years, and you will
9:34
Speaker 2: not be disappointed. I'm excited for that. I was there
9:37
Speaker 2: like a remodel ago, because it's they're always whipping that
9:40
Speaker 2: place up, changing it around and making it nicer. It's like, damn,
9:44
Speaker 2: you know, I'd be a big fan if I can
9:45
Speaker 2: get a piece of meat, you know, and a couple
9:47
Speaker 2: of parlays. That's a nice day. I mean, that's a
9:49
Speaker 2: hard thing to be. That's enough for me. But you're right,
9:51
Speaker 2: I mean, like big parties and all that stuff. No,
9:53
Speaker 2: it's it's okay. I think we do enough. You know.
9:56
Speaker 2: I think you should leave our show. And you should
9:59
Speaker 2: should you be it should be a day about food
10:01
Speaker 2: and drink and celebration. You should leave our show.
10:04
Speaker 1: They grabbed that kid and like, head and get yourself
10:07
Speaker 1: that cream puff and go down the giant slide. All
10:10
Speaker 1: fire the kid out and then hand her off to
10:12
Speaker 1: Grandma and uh headed out to.
10:14
Speaker 2: A nice meal. Run up and down that that giant slide.
10:19
Speaker 2: Stabs the rides at the ferry, go look at some animals.
10:22
Speaker 2: That's what I rather, I mean, I'd rather do that
10:24
Speaker 2: I mean sounds like a perfect armon day kind of
10:27
Speaker 2: does become a kid. It's basically what it is. So
10:29
Speaker 2: I like that we uh it was the the uncle's
10:32
Speaker 2: birthday last week, and my little man, uh just a
10:36
Speaker 2: he took care of every single one of those presents.
10:38
Speaker 2: Street to your point, I mean, like the ice cream,
10:41
Speaker 2: the cake. As he then blew out the candles, He's like, hey,
10:44
Speaker 2: you're welcome, guys. All right, I did celebrate. I picked
10:48
Speaker 2: out the cake, I opened all of the gifts. Now
10:51
Speaker 2: let's play with all of my toys and let's forget
10:53
Speaker 2: about everybody else. This is my day. I do like
10:56
Speaker 2: when the kids get the excitement of opening gifts, so
10:58
Speaker 2: you know, for if it isn't adult's birth they it's
11:00
Speaker 2: like you got you can open my gifts. So they
11:01
Speaker 2: get the excitement opening gifts, realizing that they're like you know,
11:03
Speaker 2: electric shavers and boring stuff that like kids, you're usually
11:07
Speaker 2: you're like, I'm opening toys and then then they open
11:09
Speaker 2: it like what is this a tie? Like or what
11:11
Speaker 2: what is this you know a close or like a
11:13
Speaker 2: you know, a power drill stuff well maybe power drill,
11:16
Speaker 2: but stuff that they don't even realize, like like, what
11:19
Speaker 2: is this? I thought all presidents were toys. Like then
11:21
Speaker 2: they totally get disappointed when they actually open it. Yeah,
11:24
Speaker 2: it's about a twenty six or twenty seven year old kid.
11:27
Speaker 2: When do you realize that the power drill is your
11:28
Speaker 2: new toy? All right? When the power tool that you
11:30
Speaker 2: get for your birthday, those are your new toys. That's
11:33
Speaker 2: a different place in life that you had, which is
11:35
Speaker 2: a good one to get. That leaf blower that I
11:37
Speaker 2: got is phenomenal when you get more excited that there's
11:40
Speaker 2: rain coming, so you're one will get green instead of like,
11:43
Speaker 2: you know, a three am bang the club, like you're like,
11:46
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it's gonna get gonna get my lawn green.
11:48
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I'm an old guy now. So but listen,
11:51
Speaker 2: if I get another Brewers win today and they can
11:54
Speaker 2: keep rolling. Here at a couple of Cubs losses against
11:56
Speaker 2: I think they played Toronto, all right, Billy, I think
11:58
Speaker 2: they're playing Toronto this weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, today they
12:02
Speaker 2: played a makeup game against Torondo. They play a weekend
12:04
Speaker 2: series differently. Sorry, Oh that's what threw me out. Okay,
12:06
Speaker 2: if they only play a one gamer for a rained
12:08
Speaker 2: up game today, that would be nice and by the
12:10
Speaker 2: end of the Birthday weekend the Bruce can have like
12:12
Speaker 2: a seven or eight game lead. That'd be a nice gift.
12:14
Speaker 2: We'll see if it happens, though I'm not really sure
12:16
Speaker 2: the way PCA is playing. Yeah, he's really making a case,
12:20
Speaker 2: isn't He was that favorite. That graphic yesterday was disgusting
12:25
Speaker 2: to look at after the Dodgers five run inning to
12:28
Speaker 2: close it in was of the seventh or the eighth.
12:31
Speaker 2: So Otani and PCA the number one and two, decide
12:36
Speaker 2: whichever one you want to go on now favorites to
12:39
Speaker 2: win the MVP Otani. People had wondered would anybody be
12:42
Speaker 2: able to beat him? Yesterday? They have a match for
12:46
Speaker 2: matchup in the home run race and in the MVP
12:48
Speaker 2: race that you can't make up. Each go three for five,
12:51
Speaker 2: each hit two bombs, PCA just one more run driven
12:55
Speaker 2: in ends up being the difference in a seven to
12:57
Speaker 2: six win. And now he's the betting favorite a couple
12:59
Speaker 2: of different institutions, Otani has been such an overwhelming favorite
13:03
Speaker 2: Drew that people wondered if like and it's not Otani fatigue,
13:08
Speaker 2: This isn't this isn't gonna be Why Lebron didn't win
13:11
Speaker 2: an MVP, or why Jordan only won a couple, Brady Manning,
13:16
Speaker 2: whoever you want to put in here. This is just
13:18
Speaker 2: somebody who's chasing him down and being that damn good
13:21
Speaker 2: alongside Otani being dinged up has aided it a little bit,
13:25
Speaker 2: but the home run numbers are significantly down on his
13:28
Speaker 2: pace and PCA is an absolute lightning round. That one
13:31
Speaker 2: he banked off the scoreboard yesterday is something different. Has
13:33
Speaker 2: anyone trademarked PCA MVP yet so we can have that
13:37
Speaker 2: for they got to be if he's not messing up
13:41
Speaker 2: his buddy, Caleb, did you know a few weeks ago
13:43
Speaker 2: I started noticing this reality that PCA's defensive war is
13:47
Speaker 2: pumping his numbers up to a point that it's gonna
13:49
Speaker 2: be hard to ignore. And I think a lot of
13:52
Speaker 2: I don't want to say casuals, but a lot of
13:54
Speaker 2: baseball lady people like they remember like the goofball highlights
13:58
Speaker 2: from early in the ear and the White Sox lady
14:00
Speaker 2: yelling at him, And I think a lot of people
14:02
Speaker 2: don't realize what kind of impact PCA has been having
14:05
Speaker 2: this year on the Cubs and and how good he's
14:08
Speaker 2: been because I mentioned, you know, about a month ago
14:11
Speaker 2: to a few friends of mine, are are we looking
14:13
Speaker 2: at a possible PC MVP situation because of the way
14:16
Speaker 2: Otani slowed down with injury and things like that, and
14:19
Speaker 2: the way they might kind of vote it because you know,
14:21
Speaker 2: you're you're combining his ability as a pictuer and hitter. Sure,
14:24
Speaker 2: but they might, they might, you know, have some trouble
14:28
Speaker 2: with how to vote that if he doesn't play a
14:29
Speaker 2: full season as a pitcher and hitter and all these things,
14:32
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, Peter Armstong's defensive War, I mean,
14:34
Speaker 2: he's getting he's getting crazy numbers up to the point
14:37
Speaker 2: where he's gonna be in you know, seven eight nine
14:39
Speaker 2: war territory already. And that's been like Aaron Judge, Bobby
14:43
Speaker 2: Witt last year's show, Hey territory. So there's no question
14:47
Speaker 2: we're in a world that PCAs might have a great
14:50
Speaker 2: chance to win MVP this year. I don't think you
14:52
Speaker 2: realize that he's now the lead Canada, I would say, yeah,
14:55
Speaker 2: I mean they're they're both minus one tenant Patolami right now.
14:57
Speaker 2: So it's just it's just interesting because I'm not sure
15:00
Speaker 2: how many people actually realized he was playing that well
15:03
Speaker 2: because they might just remember the early highlights, or you know,
15:06
Speaker 2: when he gets to a ball that no one else
15:08
Speaker 2: gets to and misses it and hits the back of
15:10
Speaker 2: the wall. But he has an effort that most guys
15:12
Speaker 2: aren't getting. You know, it's actually impressive to see him
15:16
Speaker 2: get close to a ball instead of missing off his
15:18
Speaker 2: glove and going over the wall. You see things like that,
15:20
Speaker 2: you can get kind of he missed direct a little bit,
15:24
Speaker 2: and listen, it doesn't annoy any but more than me.
15:26
Speaker 2: But the reality is Peter Armstrong is having that type
15:29
Speaker 2: of year, and he's the big reason the Cubs have
15:30
Speaker 2: played so well, probably the biggest reason. So it's here.
15:34
Speaker 2: He's the biggest offensive reason. I mean, you look at
15:36
Speaker 2: the rest of their lineup. Nobody has jumped off the
15:38
Speaker 2: page a month ago. Now, Bregman's gotten a little hotter
15:42
Speaker 2: in the last month, but once Durbin made his run,
15:46
Speaker 2: what we did the stats three weeks ago, just before
15:48
Speaker 2: the All Star breakthrough, Caleb Durbin's numbers were better than
15:51
Speaker 2: Alex Bregman's. And now Nico Horner is like a six
15:55
Speaker 2: to seventy ops player but really really good on defense,
15:58
Speaker 2: and they've changed up their their rotation significantly. I mean
16:01
Speaker 2: they completely revamped it at the deadline, and and they're
16:04
Speaker 2: trying to chase I think the interesting one from the
16:06
Speaker 2: Cubs perspective was a couple of weeks ago, Jed Hoyer
16:09
Speaker 2: had said, you know, it'd be different how we're going
16:11
Speaker 2: to approach this deadline if we had to buy you know,
16:13
Speaker 2: if we thought we were going to get a buye,
16:14
Speaker 2: it'd be a little bit different. They realized, Drew the
16:17
Speaker 2: way to get a buye is to win the division.
16:19
Speaker 2: That was still what they were trying to do, because
16:22
Speaker 2: don't look now, I mean, everybody in the National League
16:24
Speaker 2: got better, but you win the NL Central, it's gonna
16:26
Speaker 2: be hard to not have a bye like the way
16:30
Speaker 2: everyone's way everyone if they if they run through, and
16:33
Speaker 2: they run through the next six weeks, they'll probably earn one.
16:36
Speaker 2: And that's what it looks like. They took the advantage
16:38
Speaker 2: of it at the deadline. Let's let's Cubs play that
16:40
Speaker 2: wildcard round so it works for me. And if they
16:43
Speaker 2: play the wildcard round and somehow line up against that
16:46
Speaker 2: team from LA. Are you cheering for the team and
16:49
Speaker 2: the Red and blue? Oh my goodness, that's a great question,
16:52
Speaker 2: like a great great question here. I mean to tell you,
16:59
Speaker 2: here's the thing about baseball is that you get so
17:02
Speaker 2: in the moment. And I was just telling people like,
17:04
Speaker 2: don't think about October yet, you got two months to go.
17:07
Speaker 2: But you get so in the moment that you think
17:09
Speaker 2: what we're seeing now is what we're going to see,
17:11
Speaker 2: like Christian Yelich prime example. Yes, for sure, all of
17:15
Speaker 2: a sudden to be as a bang, and it can
17:18
Speaker 2: turn so quickly.
17:19
Speaker 1: The Red Sox were the last place team, they were
17:22
Speaker 1: the worst team in the entire American League. And now
17:25
Speaker 1: look at them surging and they went thirty and five
17:27
Speaker 1: to overcome the hoarly start and it's a.
17:29
Speaker 2: Totally different thing now.
17:31
Speaker 1: But but does that mean they're going to carry it
17:33
Speaker 1: on and to October or will they run out of guess?
17:36
Speaker 1: Will the market correct? Will there be regression to the mean?
17:40
Speaker 1: Because the Dodgers right now, I have lost six in
17:41
Speaker 1: a row. They can't find their way. But come October,
17:46
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking they're a prohibitive favorite at the sports
17:49
Speaker 1: book at Patawa.
17:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that they can flip the switch.
17:53
Speaker 1: So there's so much real estate between now and the storyline,
17:57
Speaker 1: and it's just the Brewers. I was just telling Armine
18:00
Speaker 1: I saw the stat in Mike Vassalo's notes that the
18:02
Speaker 1: Brewers were thirty. I mean, so they were thirteen and
18:06
Speaker 1: thirteen and uh, since then they have the best record
18:12
Speaker 1: in ball since that date April twenty eighth.
18:15
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, right around the NFL draft, I
18:17
Speaker 2: want to say they were they were five hundred and
18:18
Speaker 2: since then they're fifty eight and thirty, which is the
18:20
Speaker 2: best record in the major leagues. Because they put the
18:23
Speaker 2: they showed the highlight last night on the ESPN broadcast.
18:25
Speaker 2: By the way, thank you Brewers TV for actually illuminating
18:30
Speaker 2: the screen was Did anyone else have to go check
18:32
Speaker 2: their TV settings to see why it was so damn dark? Well,
18:35
Speaker 2: I seem last night, I assume it was my Life TV.
18:37
Speaker 2: I did not really, I did not know what was
18:39
Speaker 2: going on. I am film always looks dark. I don't
18:41
Speaker 2: know why that is worker than other places. Yeah, and
18:44
Speaker 2: I mean maybe it's just the adjustment to it. But
18:45
Speaker 2: the Brewers TV lighting, I think Brewers TV production has
18:48
Speaker 2: been phenomenal. Last night, I'm like, wait a secon, let
18:49
Speaker 2: me turn this thing up. Yeah, but the weird night
18:52
Speaker 2: of what they showed the highlights of Schemes coming to
18:55
Speaker 2: AMFAM on Friday of the NFL Draft and going perfect
19:00
Speaker 2: for the first six innings. That was right in the
19:03
Speaker 2: midst where you're sitting wondering, are we watching the exact
19:05
Speaker 2: same thing we did a year ago. A month and
19:07
Speaker 2: a half, two months of wandering into the abyss and
19:09
Speaker 2: then you'll you'll be able to get hot. So the
19:12
Speaker 2: Red Sox did almost the exact move that the Brewers
19:14
Speaker 2: did a year ago. Right, It was thirty and four
19:16
Speaker 2: for the Brewers on that run. Yeah, thirty and five
19:19
Speaker 2: for the Red Sox. This year, Brewers complete completely flipped
19:22
Speaker 2: the standings. They were downs seven games in the division.
19:25
Speaker 2: When they ended that, they were up five games. Red
19:28
Speaker 2: Sox still chasing out there, but there's six games up
19:30
Speaker 2: in a wild card and they're gonna be there. And also,
19:31
Speaker 2: don't look now, it felt like LA was running away
19:34
Speaker 2: with that nl wes and then nobody was gonna come
19:36
Speaker 2: even close. Oh yeah, San Diego and Arizona both kind
19:40
Speaker 2: of closing the gap and playing some better ball. LA though,
19:44
Speaker 2: has the one caveat in every conversation that just can't
19:48
Speaker 2: be ignored the fact that their whole playoff rotation is
19:51
Speaker 2: on the il right outside of Yamamoto and now Scooble
19:55
Speaker 2: to whenever Blake Snow who also has two cy Young Awards,
19:58
Speaker 2: when he starts pitching in the a rotation Glass now
20:01
Speaker 2: starts pitching the rotation, uh, and they ramp up po Tani,
20:04
Speaker 2: then you can start wondering about what that Dodgers's gonna
20:07
Speaker 2: look like. Yeah, by the way, I don't think Eric
20:08
Speaker 2: Lauer is pitching for them in the playoffs. I got
20:10
Speaker 2: good feelings and uh yeah, thanks for nothing Eric Lauer
20:14
Speaker 2: man getting lit up. Yes, well, but I will say
20:17
Speaker 2: he has been really good for them because he was
20:19
Speaker 2: with the Blue Jays maybe and was warm cheeks. I
20:23
Speaker 2: mean he was brutal in the first month and a
20:25
Speaker 2: half of the year. Goes to the Dodgers and solid, solid,
20:29
Speaker 2: eating up innings. I understand it, but we know, no
20:32
Speaker 2: yesterday could not help us. Yeah, you're right spot on
20:34
Speaker 2: on that one. But you're right when you when you
20:36
Speaker 2: start thinking about what they're gonna do when they're healthy
20:38
Speaker 2: or if you know, if they get healthy with Scooble Yamamoto,
20:43
Speaker 2: like you said, Billy Snell, you know that's zaki, guys,
20:46
Speaker 2: But I did. I did prime the pump though for
20:49
Speaker 2: for what I had asked you, arman. I primed the
20:51
Speaker 2: pump yesterday though, watching Cubs and Dodgers, uh, getting myself
20:55
Speaker 2: warmed up to the thought that if indeed they had
20:57
Speaker 2: to play in a playoff series, I'd prefer to play
20:59
Speaker 2: the Hubs than Dodgers. So I will be cheering for
21:03
Speaker 2: Chicago in that series. Yeah, because I had to just
21:06
Speaker 2: get myself to it, because then I did also have
21:09
Speaker 2: to know what the repercussion was. I was gonna have
21:10
Speaker 2: to listen that stupid song. Yep, that's that's the reality.
21:14
Speaker 2: I have to listen to that song on full blast
21:17
Speaker 2: on that stupid Marquee network. And they listened the whole
21:19
Speaker 2: thing understandably, so every single person in the bleachers with
21:23
Speaker 2: one of their plagus. Nobody brought a now nope, I
21:27
Speaker 2: just ah. And then the wife is singing it and
21:29
Speaker 2: it's stucking your head. It's odd, it's all annoying. It's
21:33
Speaker 2: unfortunately catchy. Is unfortunately that's the right way of putting
21:36
Speaker 2: an army. It's unfortunately catchy. We're off and running. I
21:39
Speaker 2: like that. That's a good slogan. Now it looks like
21:41
Speaker 2: the show and fortunately catchy. That's good. That's good.
21:44
Speaker 1: Hit us up on the talk of text line. We're
21:46
Speaker 1: gonna have some fun today. It's Thursday of it's opening
21:48
Speaker 1: day of the Wisconsin State Fair. Scottolf And joins us
21:50
Speaker 1: six twenty five Hunter Bombguard at seven twenty five Alive.
21:53
Speaker 1: We'll hear his recap of last night's proceedings in just
21:56
Speaker 1: a moment.
21:56
Speaker 2: We're glad you're with us. It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
22:03
Speaker 1: Anchal Brewers, Pirates, Matinee May Day, Dustin May with his
22:09
Speaker 1: first start for his new club, and then the Wisconsin
22:12
Speaker 1: State Fair opening ceremonies today starts. It's run and then
22:16
Speaker 1: and then we're on to back to school and and
22:18
Speaker 1: then once State Fair. Once they take the rides away
22:22
Speaker 1: from State Fair, that big pumpkin will rise in the
22:24
Speaker 1: parking lot at Wisconsin State Fair.
22:25
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good point. Yes, Once once the ferris
22:28
Speaker 2: wheels from the Midway go away, then it becomes a
22:31
Speaker 2: spirit Halloween, and uh, we've already gotten some. My little
22:35
Speaker 2: guy has already picked out what he wants to be
22:37
Speaker 2: for Halloween. So it's moving quickly. It is going to
22:40
Speaker 2: be rolling here soon. But I mean, you want to
22:42
Speaker 2: talk about some sweet action that you get the pig
22:45
Speaker 2: races being back here like maybe like the earliest days
22:50
Speaker 2: of my sports wagering. We're into the pig races at
22:54
Speaker 2: the Wisconsin where it started, at one of the places
22:56
Speaker 2: where it started. One of the things to be able
22:58
Speaker 2: to have. Shout out to the Duke of Sazan Sas,
23:03
Speaker 2: I'm so glad he thought of that.
23:06
Speaker 1: We've been we're talking about the Brewers. Christian Yelich had
23:08
Speaker 1: a turnaround game last night. We'll see it. Has the
23:11
Speaker 1: damn been burst? He had a couple of knocks, a
23:14
Speaker 1: couple of RBIs.
23:15
Speaker 2: It can't help, but it can't hurt, right, It can't
23:18
Speaker 2: hurt to have at least a little bit of positivity
23:20
Speaker 2: for the for the guy and and somebody who drew.
23:23
Speaker 2: I mean, you've known it, you see it more than
23:25
Speaker 2: a lot of people do. Hunter to sees it every
23:27
Speaker 2: day and he's gonna talk about it. But when Murph
23:29
Speaker 2: mentions like he's nobody cares more about the lack of
23:33
Speaker 2: production than Yelich. Uh, you could tell every time he
23:36
Speaker 2: walks to the dugout after four to three ground out.
23:41
Speaker 2: The frustration on his face didn't change the look last night,
23:44
Speaker 2: but you almost did feel like you could see a
23:46
Speaker 2: couple of weights roll off that shoulder when he stood
23:48
Speaker 2: there at second base. Right, that's right, and you know
23:51
Speaker 2: Contrara's with a jack. Well he's back too. Then Well
23:55
Speaker 2: I'm declaring everyone back. One's back, ones, They're all back.
23:58
Speaker 2: I don't know. Wild Bill seemed to bust every celebration
24:02
Speaker 2: he could out into that home run. I've been waiting
24:04
Speaker 2: for too long. I've been waiting way too long. He
24:06
Speaker 2: hit the phone on the walkover, he hit a little backflip.
24:09
Speaker 2: He obviously gotta throw on the crown when you roll
24:12
Speaker 2: round around third base. Nobody has more fun celebrating a
24:15
Speaker 2: home run than while Bill and he hammered that one.
24:17
Speaker 2: I mean, it was absolutely you know, moonshot. It was
24:20
Speaker 2: just it was demolished, which was good to see for
24:22
Speaker 2: him too as well. So hope this guts them both
24:25
Speaker 2: going a little bit. You know, I did like seeing
24:28
Speaker 2: Yells respond to the cheers right away with a double.
24:30
Speaker 2: You know, that was the first run for the Brewers,
24:32
Speaker 2: So is it really important needed you know, get him
24:34
Speaker 2: going a little bit? And it was just a little
24:36
Speaker 2: bit of like I'm I got a little you know,
24:38
Speaker 2: I had the tiger dog and the energy. Still I
24:41
Speaker 2: love that when he strode in there popped up from second.
24:44
Speaker 2: So I apologize for this quick interlude here, arman. So
24:48
Speaker 2: you said you said Friday for the big birthday bash,
24:51
Speaker 2: it's going to be a night over at dream Dance
24:54
Speaker 2: Steakhous potentially, right, Yeah, something happening there that I'm missing.

Speaker 2: to the Cubs in his Dodgers debut and then Casey
28:39
Speaker 2: my said hold my beer.
28:41
Speaker 1: Casey Mice went from Detroit to the Padres and in
28:46
Speaker 1: the one hundred and third start of his career, the
28:48
Speaker 1: first for his new club, he filled his socks three
28:52
Speaker 1: and a third, nine hits, eight runs, all earned three walks,
28:56
Speaker 1: one strikeout. They got lamb basted by the i'm a
29:00
Speaker 1: backs who are better than people think.
29:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubtay better all right, So and Google and
29:04
Speaker 2: Paralta all had bad data and.
29:05
Speaker 1: Parolta got lit up, so all the guys that we
29:08
Speaker 1: were pining over not so good. For Casey Miiz, that
29:12
Speaker 1: was the worst start of his major league career.
29:14
Speaker 2: And now you get your look at the dude that
29:17
Speaker 2: a lot of people. I didn't know that Dustin May
29:19
Speaker 2: was really on the market until the day of the deadline,
29:22
Speaker 2: and when when his name popped up drew All three
29:26
Speaker 2: of us Hunter included, were like, I like Dustin May.
29:28
Speaker 2: I'd be interested to what Dustin May would do here.
29:31
Speaker 2: It's tough because I heard Jake Peevee going through this
29:34
Speaker 2: on MLB tonight or one of their shows. He's really
29:38
Speaker 2: good on there. But mention, like, think about what these
29:41
Speaker 2: guys are now doing this week, right, so Schooble gets traded.
29:43
Speaker 2: On Saturday night, late into the night, he's on the phone,
29:46
Speaker 2: probably most of the night with his family orchestrating some things,
29:49
Speaker 2: figuring out where they're gonna go. Sunday, gets on a plane,
29:51
Speaker 2: flies to La gets changed mid game, He's asking somebody
29:54
Speaker 2: what the club he's name so he can get some
29:55
Speaker 2: sliding shorts before he goes and puts his pants on
29:58
Speaker 2: the walk out there. And then all of a sudden,
30:00
Speaker 2: starting on Tuesday, they're flying on a plane out to Chicago.
30:03
Speaker 2: On Sunday night, He's like, who's catching his bullpen? When's
30:06
Speaker 2: he reading his scouting reports? When he finding out all
30:10
Speaker 2: of the things for his own nutrition and keeping pace.
30:12
Speaker 2: It's like, this first start is going to be a
30:14
Speaker 2: tough one to count upon unless you give it a
30:17
Speaker 2: little bit of time to breathe like, I mean, May
30:18
Speaker 2: has now been here for three days, probably got at
30:21
Speaker 2: least a little bit settled in, figured out where he
30:23
Speaker 2: can live, where he can put down his bag at night. Yeah, yeah, oh,
30:26
Speaker 2: he's still Yeah. They pay for a hotel for a
30:28
Speaker 2: little bit till we can trade it. And he's used
30:30
Speaker 2: to the hotel, and he's used to the ballpark's right now.
30:32
Speaker 1: He's used to it a little bit, a pretty good
30:34
Speaker 1: start here earlier this year, taking a no hitter into
30:36
Speaker 1: the eighth.
30:37
Speaker 2: Wonder if they make sleep on some guys couch by
30:39
Speaker 2: the way, Yeah, is that really? By the way, everybody
30:42
Speaker 2: who traded for a pitcher, they hope they get what
30:44
Speaker 2: the Bruce got out of Kyle Harrison last night, because
30:47
Speaker 2: until he cramped up in the sixth inning, what an
30:50
Speaker 2: exit that is? Striking out eight in a row to
30:54
Speaker 2: exit the field? Well, your legs will cramp if you're
30:56
Speaker 2: kicking that much ass, and there's a line come on.
31:01
Speaker 1: I loved it because he's like, yeah, cramped up and
31:03
Speaker 1: it freaked some people out, and you know when the
31:05
Speaker 1: trainer came out and it was kind of like, Okay,
31:07
Speaker 1: we'll see if you can make it go of it,
31:08
Speaker 1: because he said he was doing pickle juice shots and.
31:13
Speaker 2: Was was that fireball? Like what is the anti cramping
31:15
Speaker 2: cinnamon I've heard to be, Yeah, it has to be,
31:17
Speaker 2: or it's Michael's secret stuff like in Space Jam. Yeah.
31:20
Speaker 1: So Harrison pitched great, struck out eight back from the
31:24
Speaker 1: I l if that's what we're going to see from him,
31:27
Speaker 1: maybe the Brewers, But I'll roll roll the dice with
31:31
Speaker 1: mis may in.
31:32
Speaker 2: Harrison, Dude, that's slurs. Harrison May slurf looks phenomenal and
31:36
Speaker 2: just pepper and fastballs again, I mean it is wild Drew.
31:40
Speaker 2: When you throw strikes, the pressure you put on guys.
31:43
Speaker 2: We've talked about it with miss just because he throws
31:45
Speaker 2: so damn hard. But Harrison, his fastball's got a lot
31:48
Speaker 2: of late life at ninety six, and if you're gonna
31:50
Speaker 2: consistently put it in the zone, people are gonna have
31:52
Speaker 2: to take swings at it. Uh, the youngster, I want
31:55
Speaker 2: to say, maybe it was their catcher who challenged a
31:57
Speaker 2: pitch would have been a strikeout and tapped the hat.
32:01
Speaker 2: He was very, very proud of himself for getting the
32:03
Speaker 2: getting the win. Then it's three to two and he
32:05
Speaker 2: blows a ninety five mile hour fastball by him and
32:08
Speaker 2: my man holds the bat with the wrong hand on
32:10
Speaker 2: the finish, and you can look at like the frustration
32:12
Speaker 2: of this isn't the hottest heater that I've seen, but
32:16
Speaker 2: it was. It was working at the top of his
32:18
Speaker 2: own yesterday. He makes it look like that for some reason,
32:21
Speaker 2: when he goes up the ladder I mean, that's the
32:22
Speaker 2: thing about what he can do, and a lot of
32:24
Speaker 2: it is the location of the other stuff. So Harrison
32:26
Speaker 2: struck out the last eight to pushes his total to ten.
32:30
Speaker 2: And he was flirting with history because to strikeout, you know,
32:33
Speaker 2: eight in a row is no small feet, no right,
32:36
Speaker 2: he was. That was getting to be historic when he
32:38
Speaker 2: cramped up. But Casey Mice had one strikeout and it's
32:41
Speaker 2: three and a third. He threw seventy seven pitches and
32:45
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks batters swung and missed at two of the seventy
32:49
Speaker 2: soft pitches. He was awful. Now two times, two swings
32:54
Speaker 2: and misses, two whiffs on seventy seven pitches. I can't
32:57
Speaker 2: softball game. Yeah, I can't imagine that. I'll continue. And
33:01
Speaker 2: the wheels came off when in his last inning and
33:03
Speaker 2: he gave up like five hits in a row on
33:05
Speaker 2: a walk. So three walks and strike up. But now
33:09
Speaker 2: you want to you want to give it the caveat,
33:11
Speaker 2: you want to couch it. He hadn't pitched in eleven days,
33:14
Speaker 2: be a while. Yep, they scratched him. Never last week,
33:17
Speaker 2: never pitched in Phoenix. People don't think of it because
33:19
Speaker 2: it's in the Valley, but Phoenix is at altitude. It's
33:21
Speaker 2: a thousand feet up like in the dry air. It's
33:25
Speaker 2: also a weird ballpark and weird. I mean it's spacious.
33:30
Speaker 2: There's a lot of weird new catcher so there's all
33:33
Speaker 2: and like, he's not going to be that bad for
33:35
Speaker 2: the entire time, but it was inauspicious debut for him.
33:38
Speaker 2: So uh.
33:39
Speaker 1: Anyway, Kyle Harrison was pretty good. And sometimes the best
33:42
Speaker 1: deals are the ones you don't make.
33:44
Speaker 2: I'm excited to make the grand sweeping assumptions and judgments
33:47
Speaker 2: on this deal here after Dustin May throws his first
33:50
Speaker 2: like fifteen, well there you go right today today Drew
33:53
Speaker 2: after he faced his first two batters, we'll know if
33:55
Speaker 2: it's a good trader first time through the order, will
33:57
Speaker 2: know a got to give him that much as we'll
33:59
Speaker 2: find a head that fits over his head. Yep, you
34:01
Speaker 2: know when we come back, When we come back, Yeah,
34:04
Speaker 2: the Killer Tomato Part two is all right, dig into
34:06
Speaker 2: the Kevin mench bag.
34:08
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll hear Hunter Bombguart's recap of

35:44

35:53
Speaker 4: great night for the crew. By the way, Kyle Harrison

37:16
Speaker 2: I say this is a former baseball writer, they just
37:19
Speaker 2: saw it on social media. Well they read that though, right,
37:22
Speaker 2: I mean they read tweets out. I started to read
37:26
Speaker 2: a lot.
37:26
Speaker 1: They read the tweet and watch the forty second clip
37:29
Speaker 1: and then that's and then they're on to the next.
37:31
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was gonna say they follow out hunter be
37:33
Speaker 2: on air and and got the clip of you saying
37:35
Speaker 2: it last night and made sure that they wanted to
37:37
Speaker 2: listen to it. The power of the internet's a real thing.
37:40
Speaker 2: It was a real thing when you start seeing what
37:43
Speaker 2: everybody is hoping to be able to do. And last night,
37:46
Speaker 2: I do like Yellich at least given the tip the
37:49
Speaker 2: hat tip, and he's like, yeah, guys, I know it
37:51
Speaker 2: has been the best couple of months for me. Lord
37:54
Speaker 2: Lord only knows. I also understand it's kind of brutal
37:58
Speaker 2: over on this side as well. But that was very,
37:59
Speaker 2: very nice for everybody to do. Now let's pick it
38:02
Speaker 2: up again here today and who knows, maybe we see
38:03
Speaker 2: the first yelly bomb since uh what last three or
38:06
Speaker 2: four weeks? Uh? Did he have one in in in
38:08
Speaker 2: the Ange with the angel right? Yes? In fact, yeah,
38:12
Speaker 2: he had a home run, like more recently than Churio.
38:15
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Charioturers. Yeah, you're right, no doubt Chario
38:18
Speaker 2: went a month right, and he's maybe all three will
38:20
Speaker 2: Homer today. Hey, i'd be a hell of a play
38:23
Speaker 2: to play at the Alchemist. Well, what you're thinking about
38:26
Speaker 2: a birthday that the Brews are in age? Okay, the
38:29
Speaker 2: Brews are in a stretch of a heavy stretch, a
38:33
Speaker 2: workloads seventeen and seventeen, right, So yes we might get
38:37
Speaker 2: one of these uh these daytime or you know, day
38:40
Speaker 2: game after night game lineups, I would agree with you,
38:43
Speaker 2: with you, this is a day where people have been
38:45
Speaker 2: bashing and upset to Joey Orties in the lineup. I
38:48
Speaker 2: anticipated he's in the lineup today. I anticipate this is
38:50
Speaker 2: a very much a Sunday looking lineup. But they also
38:53
Speaker 2: in the run of the games, Drew. Uh, this is
38:56
Speaker 2: a big tilter as to how you look at the
38:58
Speaker 2: homestand in the series. Man, you dropped the first in
39:02
Speaker 2: disappointing fashion where you go over fourteen at the top
39:05
Speaker 2: with seven punchies on Monday night and on Thursday you
39:08
Speaker 2: got a chance to send them out of town, losing
39:10
Speaker 2: three of four, and after you had lost six of
39:12
Speaker 2: the first seven games in the season series. So you're
39:15
Speaker 2: right back in the midst all right.
39:16
Speaker 1: So at the risk of hurting my rotator cuff patting
39:20
Speaker 1: myself on the back, Yeah, we'll do it for you.
39:22
Speaker 2: When we got the text yesterday and I don't remember
39:25
Speaker 2: who it was, maybe it was the same guy that
39:27
Speaker 2: was asking online tweeting at Dom Catrono, Todd Rosi, at
39:30
Speaker 2: Kurt Hoogan, Adam mccalvey to find out why why Ortis
39:33
Speaker 2: is not playing every day?
39:34
Speaker 1: What did I say yesterday? I'm like, they do it
39:36
Speaker 1: by matchups. Yes, he's hot, but they look at the
39:39
Speaker 1: starter and if that guy's best pitching zone and area
39:43
Speaker 1: is where is where his weak spot is, they'll play
39:45
Speaker 1: the other guy.
39:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not selling the Calvey tweeted yesterday replying to
39:49
Speaker 2: this somebody asking the question, he said, many have asked this.
39:52
Speaker 2: There's no secret answer. It's matchups.
39:54
Speaker 1: They play Hamilton against right handers with a certain pitch mix,
39:57
Speaker 1: and Ortiz against some righties and all lefties. It's fair
40:00
Speaker 1: to agree disagree with the strategy because artist has been
40:03
Speaker 1: so hot, but that's the reason. That's what I told you.
40:06
Speaker 1: And that's why Artis is so hot. And that's what
40:08
Speaker 1: teams do with the platoon advantage. They pick spots where
40:11
Speaker 1: you guys are going to succeed. And that's why you
40:13
Speaker 1: like him.
40:14
Speaker 2: I like him a lot more in those times. Exactly.
40:16
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
40:20
Speaker 2: Drew Olson here,
