  Speaker 1: Armin with a little stroll down memory lane here on
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the huddle Fox Sports.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin 920 Milwaukee 1070 Madison everywhere in.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: The iron upstream live Facebook X and YouTube.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: What were we listening to, Armin? Yeah, 39 years ago.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I was under the impression it was 39 years
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: ago yesterday, but I actually got the date wrong, I
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: learned this morning. It was 39 years ago, two days ago.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: There was a wrong listing on the internet, so I'll
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: blame someone else. Paul Mulder's 39th hit in a row
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in 1987. As you know, one of the longest streaks
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in the modern era, Drew, in 87 was Paul Mulder's 39th.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: 39-game hitting streak. It ended the next night when Rick Manning, unfortunately,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: won the game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Team streak, yeah. People hated that.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: But pretty cool, and that was August 25th, so he
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: had 39 in a row.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Pretty amazing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Rick Manning, one of the only players ever to be
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: booed after hitting a walk-off hit in his home park.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine? And got booed.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: That was almost 40 years ago, too. That's hard to believe.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Rick Manning got booed for walking him off
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the next night. Right.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Uh, Bruce beat the Mets last night, eight to two
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: in a game highlighted by Jackson Cheerios, two dingers, four hits.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: He was four for five, scored four runs, drove in for,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: it was the Jackson Cheerio game, which is saying something.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Cause every time Ms. Pitches, it's a Ms. Game.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: And Mizorowski pitched. Well, it's kind of sale went crazy
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: last night, but Ms. Is still kind of the leader
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: in the clubhouse for.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: The ERA title. He's at one.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: He's in the Cy Young award. He's at 1.73 for
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: his ERA.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It ticked up a bit last night cause he gave
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: up the runs, but, uh, it threw a six, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: when you have that low of an ERA, any run
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is going to be a threshold.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And then I don't know how that, you know, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: don't know if it was Hamilton's an error.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't go check all that and the scoring and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: stuff like that to see if the throw home and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that inning was, was counted. But, Whatever it is, yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: his ERA is still remarkable, sparkling, you know, sale there. Sanchez,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Chris Sanchez is still there because of the volume of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: what he's pitched, but I think it's Miz's to lose.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He's minus 2,000 right now for the Cy Young. There
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: was an error on Ortiz in the game. Okay, so
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: they didn't give him. Okay, interesting. They didn't give Hamilton.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Brewers' magic number is 22. They got the Rangers.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Cubs and Reds, as Brewers will know, they lead by
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: seven in the division right now. They lead the Dodgers
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: by three in the race for the best record. In
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: the National League, which is also important, finishing with one
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: of the top two records. So they're in good shape.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Magic number 22. They play the Rangers beginning this weekend,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: and then we mentioned Monday starts the tournament. Seven games
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: against Cubs in 10 days. 877-794-1973 is the NicoletLaw.com talk
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and text line.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And guess what? Ken in the Falls is on line one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Ken's always up. He's up and around. Usually this is
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the time he goes to bed, but he's up and
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: wants to talk about the Brewers. Good morning, Ken.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Good morning. No, I'm always up early. This morning, though,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I'm up early because my brother's having open-heart surgery, so
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I had to take him this morning.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Best wishes to your brother, Ken.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Hopefully all that goes well.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: We're thinking about you guys.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Hopefully all that goes well. Thank you. That
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: kid's battled through a lot. You guys met him. He
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: was at one of the last events that we were at.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: He had his young son with him.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He's a diehard Wisconsin sports fan, to say the least.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, with all that being said... The Brewers, I mean,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: what an amazing team when you look at them and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: all the adversity injury-wise that they've gone through this year.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And they've just been able to figure it out. Between
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: GM Arnold and the skipper Murph, they just continue to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: press ahead with what they got. They go, you know what?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. We'll bring in the guys that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we need to keep this train moving in the right direction.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You know, when they overcame the Cubs months ago, They
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: just continued to push ahead in a manner that I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody in baseball could have ever imagined. You
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: look at all the injuries this team has had and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: still does have. It's just incredible. But now they're getting healthy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And as they get healthier... they just play better. I mean,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they're figuring out the RISP. Yeah, they've struggled a little
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: bit in the last few games, but figuring that part
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of the game out and being able to slap the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ball around the diamond, you know, I know their big
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: knock is that they don't have enough big home run hitters,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: but all these guys on this team can hit the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: ball out of the park, not necessarily on cue, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: they can do it. So obviously, I'll take a team
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that could slap the ball around the diamond and just
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: keep pecking away and beating down pitching staff. They force
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: pitching staff into very precarious situations because they've got to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: use their bullpens quicker. And these guys are just great
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at taking pitches. Their play presence is incredible. I mean,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it's so fun to watch them and see how they're
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: doing and knowing that they're the best team in baseball.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: This is truly a special season and could be very
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: well played. A World Series winning season, the way it's gone.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: All right, Ken, I like that. Ken, dropping some optimism
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: on us.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: We love it. Yeah, thanks, Ken. And the vibrations are
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: strong right now. Brewers have overcome a lot.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Well, they have. He's right.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And every team has injuries over the course of a year,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: but the Brewers have done well to.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Win in the midst of all those things. Not only injuries,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: but overcoming this massive Yelich slump and the Contreras drought. Exactly.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Like any sort of rough waters, they've managed to win
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: through it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: As we pointed out yesterday, and Ken makes a good point, though,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: the resilience. when your starting pitcher comes out and throws
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: one pitch and leaves the game, most teams like that
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: screws you up for that game. And like the three
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: after it. And they, they, they overcame that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they did. And they've done it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So hopefully they got lucky.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Cause Dustin may be able to pitch in a couple
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: of days, but, and now they have everything lined up.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: So Ms is going to pitch twice against the Cubs
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: in the, in the seven game turn. That's coming up
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: next week. It's like they got everything lined up. It's
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: as good a position as they can be in.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Do we know?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Hashtag baseball is the most random and cruel sport that
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: there is when it comes to the postseason, but they're
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: putting themselves in the best position they can.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Indeed, and he's right. Now, the flip side of it is,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I'll say this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: The one thing I kind of push back on is,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it says the weakness of the power bats not hitting
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: home runs. They all can hit the ball, of course.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Any major leaguer can hit the ball at the ballpark,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and the Brewers are no exception. They have guys like
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Ken Homer, and they have a couple guys that do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But if the relative lack of home runs and power
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: shows up in the playoffs, generally that is– that is
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: something that relates to winning more than anything else in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. So that could be a problem come playoff
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: time if they don't hit home runs. I like the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: team they are. I like the way they overcome it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely right. We do the small market rallies. We
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have a lot of hits. We put pressure on pitchers,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of walks. Those are all good things, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that's a big reason why we win so many games.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: But those things can dry up in the playoffs, we've seen.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So that is the one concern I'll say. That is
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a real concern. I mean, they can hit homers. That
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean they do it. And they should hit more
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs if they can.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: We talked about it yesterday because they had that inning
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: where they got six straight hits.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: That's unlikely in the playoffs. And then later in that game,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Terang hit a three-run homer to put it away.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And it's rare to do it consistently. Both are nice,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: but give me the three-run homer.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And, you know, the thing is, if you want to
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: win the World Series, which the Brewers do, you have
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to have multiple days of that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Brewers are one of, I think, three or four teams
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: in the major leagues this year that does not have
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: they don't have a grand slam. But yet, they do
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: have a bunch of three-run homers. Yeah, that's kind of...
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: They're like near the top in three-run homers, but they
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: were one of the only teams without a grand slam.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: That's a little quirky. A little quirky.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: But obviously, the less homers you have, the less chances
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you have for grannies. But I mean, listen, that's a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: real concern. I wouldn't put it aside and say it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: no big deal.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: No, it is something.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But to Ken's point, you are who you are, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: this team is good and wins because of other things.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Again, as long as everybody.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: As long as they can avoid, and it's the small sample,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: but if everybody's rolling and they're playing the way you expect, again,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: they can win playoff series if Yelich and Contreras struggle.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: As long as someone else steps up, right? That's the thing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Got to have a couple guys hot.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And there are definitely guys on this team that have that,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: like you said, his point, that can hit homers.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I think Churio is that guy. Churio had one of
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the best nights of his career last week. And I
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: was reminded again, because we start to take it for granted,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: he's 22. 22 years old.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, Cheerio, Bowers, Terrain, Contreras.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: It's almost like people think he is what he is, and, well,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: he's going to be a 2020 guy.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: That's the floor.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: That's just it. He's going to be 30, 30, or 40,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: 40 someday, right? And it's like that is— It's really remarkable.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: It's remarkable. And then you get a guy like him.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: And he signed for, again, you don't have to worry
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: about it, for like 10 years. Oh, what amazing. Or
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: at least through 2033. Well, and that's what the Brewers
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: are hoping with Laura and Pratt, too. That's why you
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: spike those early deals.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But the second one, the second homer, the way he
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: turned that ball around, tomahawked it out, was just an
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: incredible piece of hitting skill.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, and talent and quick hands.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: His inside arm was not even extended.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, the way he kept the elbow and he
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: had to keep it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: In and just tomahawked it right at his eyes, back
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: across the line drive rope, pulled it. That was one
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: of the most impressive pieces of hitting you'll ever see
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to go up and get that ball. So yes, Ken's right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Like the Brewers have guys that can hit home runs.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: They've showed their ability to have power. The lack of
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: frequency in which it happens isn't a concern, but you
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: roll with it. Your team is based on great pitching,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and you hope that those things are enough to get
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you through and win enough games in the playoffs.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: So, Jack Centurio, I mentioned, 22. He hit two home
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: runs in a game last night. Brewers have another 22-year-old,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Andrew Fisher.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. Who hit three homers at Class A
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Biloxi last night. Yeah, AA, right? I'm sorry.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, AA.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. AA Biloxi.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: They win 8-1, and he hit, His first homer last
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: night was his 40th of the season.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: 40 homers in the minor leagues. And then he hit
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: two more. Yeah, unbelievable.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's the most home runs in the minor
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: leagues since Ryan Howard hit 46 in 2004.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Well, and the funny thing is, like, he's been so
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: good down there, and he's another one of the names
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: we've talked about, Andrew Fisher. And you mentioned he's 22,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and that might feel so old because the other guys
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that have come up have been so much younger.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: But that's okay.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's, you know, remember a guy who played
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: at Duke, so he's a college guy. A guy that's
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: going to be ready to be next year whenever it is.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And I know we're anxious to get these kids up
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and stuff, but he's another one that's just had an incredible,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: incredible season.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, 22 years old.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Going to be in the mix next year.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: 40 homers.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: He struck out 167 times. Not great, but as you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: this is an era where that's less important. That's true.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: His OPS this year in Appleton was 1119, which is ridiculous,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and it's 976 right now in Biloxi. So there's a
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: lot of excitement for him as well now. I mean,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you think about all the guys that we have.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: He's slugging 646, and his OPS is 1.045.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Just nuts. I mean, you think about Mata, you think
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: about the potential for all these guys to come up.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It's great to be a Brewer.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You're an embarrassment of riches and talent right now in
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: young talent because it's great to be a Brewers fan
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: because they've been able to win at the big league level.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: They've had this talent-rich farm growing, this orchard of trees
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to take the next bite, so to speak, to use
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a cliche. And yeah, it's fantastic. What a year he's had.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: If the Brewers weren't so stacked right now in the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: big club, they probably would have.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Brought him up at some point this year, right? Am
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I wrong, Drew? Maybe not so quickly, but... Yeah, they
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: probably would have.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It seems like they might have taken a chance late
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: here in the season to.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: But there's no room for him right now. No. There's
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: no room for him. This is crazy. What a year, though.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: To hit 40 in a minor league season is not easy.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: So that was impressive last night. Last night was the
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Cheerio game in the big leagues, and of course, Miz...
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: who battled that mound and didn't have his best stuff.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: He's slipping around out there.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He's getting a little tougher now with the grounds crew.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I like that. Telling him to come fix it. Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: that was pretty wild. Hey, you guys look at this here.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Fix this, please. Yeah. I remember last year, this year
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: was Angel Stadium.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: He said the mound in Anaheim was the worst in baseball.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid to say it. But then, so with his
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: velo down, what does he do? You're right.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: He pitches, throws other pitches, and he wasn't blowing guys away.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Slider. Mixing that slider in more.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Another quality start for him. So as we mentioned, the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: magic number for the Brewers is now 22. If you
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: want to focus on that, that's the simplest thing, right?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Which is fun to do.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: On days when the Brewers win and the Cubs lose,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: that's a double. But yeah, any combination of 22 victories
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: by the Brewers or losses by the Cubs gives the
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Brewers a division.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: 22 with 28 games to play.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And just to clinch a playoff berth, it's even smaller.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So you don't even have to worry about that because
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the Brewers are in such a great position. Yeah. They're
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: going to waltz into that soon here in the next
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: coming week. Yes.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Pretty good. Joan P.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Walkie said the Grateful Dead unis, the Shuckers were, were
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: also pretty sweet. I didn't realize that. I guess I
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: missed that in the highlight. They wore some Grateful Dead.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I love the minor leagues.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Good for them. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Derek and Whitewater, do we have to make sure the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Miz pitches at home in the playoffs if we can?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think you have to worry about that. Well,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you probably will, but. I mean, if you have home
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: field advantage, he pitches game one.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Like. he so he will i would think harrison's a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: bigger deal maybe just because of those splits although that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: something else i probably shouldn't be worried about yeah i
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: don't think you should but but i could see the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: at least i could see the logic in that even
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: though it might be flawed i could see the logic
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but i don't think you have to worry about it
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: derrick i think he's going to be good anywhere else
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: i think his point is because he knows the grounds
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and he knows the mound.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah i mean there are other mounds that he hasn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: had trouble with so is that gamesmanship Are they going
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: to make it really soft every time he pitches and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: let your pitcher deal with it too? But he does
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: land further away than most.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Wasn't Earl Weaver, wasn't that his deal?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Several guys were paranoid about that. If you had a
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: fast team, you might have the grass shorter. If you
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: had a slow team, you want the grass longer. That's
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: what they used to do.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: You don't water.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: In front of the mound, and sometimes you get those
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: high hoppers, or if you bunt a lot, you want
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: it softer. Yeah, you can manipulate it to your standards
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: a little bit. How much do you water it? If
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: there's a fast guy, if you have a base dealer
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and stuff, do you really water and pack down and
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: make a fast running track for him between first and second?
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Or do you want the water loose?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Or do you want the dirt loose?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: So it is a little bit.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I just think sometimes you can overthink yourself, too.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: You can, for sure.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You can really overthink yourself. John on YouTube, happy Packers Friday.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Late 5 a.m.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Check-in. Yes, indeed. Packers final preseason. Yes, Wayne Larrabee joins
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: us at 725. Yes, indeed. He's scheduled to join us.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: The voice of the Packers brought to us by Miller Lite.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you very much. Johnny Cribbage on YouTube
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: is Ms. Amandiva. I think that's a little tongue-in-cheek. Come on.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I like that, though. Amandiva. I don't think that's a thing,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: but I think Johnny's being funny. Messing around. It's Friday,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: says Vince. Yes, sir. Sanchez liability or.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Question mark. Concerns the field. I mean, he made a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: great play last night to end the game.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: That was him, right?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Jumping off the plate to throw out the... And
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: he beat a ground ball out last night.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: He did. He's a backup catcher. He is what it is.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's the perfect backup catcher. He's
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: great in his role, in my opinion.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: He is absolutely the perfect, the quintessential guy for this
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: pitching staff.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: A veteran guy.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: We talked about how great Contreras is with pitchers.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Sanchez is fine. But he's also.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Hey man, he's a guy who can give you some thump.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: He hits a home run and once in a while,
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: big bat, you know, facing, coming in against the lefty reliever.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: He carried their offense last week.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I absolutely, I don't know. The Brewers got some problems.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know that Gary Sanchez is in the top 20.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Okay. Think of the backup catchers. The Brewers used to have, okay.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: No disrespect to Blanco and Keith Osik.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is definitely an upgrade.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Um, Somebody made me laugh yesterday when I saw this tweet.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know who it was, so I want to
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: give credit.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: But they were talking about how, you know, the Pratt situation,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: how Murph got on Cooper and, like, well, he doesn't
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: get on Sanchez for not running. And the comment was
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: something like, how can you prove he's not running? Well, yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: he's one of the slowest guys in the ball. He's
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: just very slow, but he's still running. Like, you can't
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: prove he's not running just because.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: It looks different. And I laughed about that one. That
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: was good. Yeah, he's just slow. That's pretty funny. It
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: was just pretty good. Pretty funny.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Keep the cards and letters coming, 877-794-1973. We'll talk more

• 18:23
  Speaker 4: at a bachelor party in the UP.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Wow, and the UP. Scott Dolphin's here for halftime. That's
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: a party, right? That's a party.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you, my wife and I are huge UP fans.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: We go up there at least twice a year, every year.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: In fact, last year we went up there and spent
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Christmas on Lake Superior.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: We did, yeah. We kind of have fallen in love
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: with the Upper Peninsula.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I spent a month in Escanaba one night, let
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: me tell you.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Hey-o. No, I mean, it is nice.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, then there was obviously Mackinac Island I went
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to once, but UP's an interesting place.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: They got the one highway that goes all the way through.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And we took that drive and it was like pouring rain,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: so it was kind of a challenge. The Pictured Rocks
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: National Lakeshore?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty place. I mean, there's no question about it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And Mackinac Island's cool, but.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: There's too much horse poop.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Last summer, there's a national park in the middle of
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Lake Superior called Isle Royale. And you have to make
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: your reservations like a year in advance.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have one lodge on this island. And we
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: did it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: And you take a float plane out and we hiked
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: our butts off out there.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: We were out there a week. It was incredible. Oh,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: that is so cool. There's moose and wolves and people.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: A few people, that's it. Yeah, so that's where Billy is.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of golf involved. Nice. And Billy's going
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: to slide out from the festivities and join me for
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Packers OT tonight.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: He's going to do that? He'll be at the Packers-Cardinals
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: game tonight. Oh, he's addicted to football.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Come on. He loves bachelor party, and he is the
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: best man for this gathering.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: But it worked out. I mean, it's relatively close. I
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: don't want to say it's super close, but it's not
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that bad of a drive.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: He's going to be fine. The Upper Peninsula starts kind
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: of just north of Green Bay. Is it Menominee? Michigan? Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Laura, I remember I was telling Laura about this, and
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: she was surprised. I'm like, well, we went to Mackinac Island.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: We stopped in Green Bay to eat, and then we
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: were there in an hour where we were going to go. So,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you know, in Menominee or Marquette, I don't remember where
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: it was, but it was like, it's right there. It'll
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: be a good time. So, yeah, and then tonight, Cole Swindell.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: That's right. Country night with the Brewers. Yeah.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: And Cole Swindell's doing a postgame concert. So it's like
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: kind of what the admirals do. You get two things
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: for the price of one. You pay your ticket to
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: get in and you get the ball game and the concert.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Cole Swindell, prolific writer of many hits and performer of many.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: And he's a guy that was, I don't want to
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: say discovered by Luke Bryan, but Luke kind of took
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: him under his wing. He actually worked For Luke, I
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: don't know if he was a merch guy or something.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: They went to the same school together and became friends.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: And so that was kind of his pathway to superstars.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I love guys like that because, I don't know, there's
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: something cool about, you know, you're looked at as a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: writer in the industry, but you get discovered as a performer. Yeah.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And maybe people didn't believe in you, but somebody believes
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: in you.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: It's just something really cool about that. There were Sigma
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Chi frat brothers at Georgia Southern. Is that what it was?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: And a lot of people think he's wearing a coat.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Wendell hat, but it's actually a Georgia Southern hat that
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: he wears on stage. He had the song of his
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: career with She Had Me at Heads Carolina, which he
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: brought Jodie Messina on to sing on, and that song
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: was just out of this world.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: The one I bumped in with is his Monster hit,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Let Me See You Girl. Let Me See You Girl.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Love is a great hit. And he did. He was
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: his merch guy.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: How about that? Started opening shows. That's incredible. Wrote some
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: songs with him.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a radio kind of story
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: in there, too. Because how many people on radio started
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: off as promotions or something like that and just kind
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: of kept working?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I just love stories like that. My partner right now.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, Shanna. Yeah, Shanna did it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: She did.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: There was that thing I thought of you because of
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: my radio vets, but there was that thing going around
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: too on Twitter. It's like, what was your first radio
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: job and how much you made? Everyone was talking about
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: where they random place they started and how they didn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: make money in it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I love the journey. I love the grind.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I made 14 large, 14.5 to be exact, in
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: my first radio job, overnights in the Quad Cities, WHBF,
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Rock Island, Illinois.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: And you probably thought you were living on top of
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I had rent money and beer money, and I drove
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: a $ 275 beat-up Chevy Impala from the 70s, and I thought,
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: what else do I need?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: What more do you need?
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Everybody lived check to check or rent to rent or
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: whatever you call it back in those days.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Paycheck to paycheck.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: My first radio paychecks were getting paid. 50 bucks to
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: do a 15-minute segment a week with Bob and Brian.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Exactly. That's it? That's all they paid you? Well, that
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: was 25 years ago. Well, I worked. I mean, I worked.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a big effort, but that's what I started
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: out with. I worked Saturday night, Sunday night producing, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: it was like, wow, here I am.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Dude, I did that, too, as part of my first job,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: and I loved doing it. I did the Major League
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Baseball Game of the Week.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's amazing.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: On a Sunday night baseball on national. It was CBS
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Radio in those days, and I loved that. You had
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: to be, you know, I took great pride in getting
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: us back to the network right on time.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it is. And so it's pretty cool.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, everyone's got that. But then everyone
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: says the same thing. Oh, that was my favorite time
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: when we were just starting. And, you know, your eyes
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: are bright and you're hopeful and all that.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: It was the 80s for me, man. I had a
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: lot of fun before I settled down and got married.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And had kids. I'll tell you what, that's just it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what true happiness was. Then I got
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: married and had kids and it was too late.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: The Glinton Dolbs. Hey, listen. Hey, that's okay. First job,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I had a tiny little apartment.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: You had a crappy car in a tiny apartment, like
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: no responsibilities.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Walking distance down the street to my favorite bar, the
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Rock Island Brewing Company, who always brought in national headline
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: entertainment on a Friday night. It was just a fun
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: time to be alive.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: It was funny because the funny thing for me is like,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: you know, you're in college and It's your first job
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and you're working these odd hours and it's a unique job.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Like your friends might be at a cubicle from nine
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: to five with their first job. And, you know, it's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Saturday night and, you know, they're just, you know, they're
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: out and they're, I'm like, well, this is why I'm working.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: And it's like, you get off at midnight and your
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: friends are calling you like, where are you?
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I'm at work. It's so funny.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: It's just such a unique experience. I'd get off at
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: 5.30 in the morning, and then I would go. I
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: worked for Godfather's Pizza. You remember Godfather's Pizza?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: I'd go there and make dough and chop up vegetables
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: in the morning. That's an amazing second job.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: It was fun. I got to work by myself, basically.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: That was pretty cool. Making the dough. I love it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Making the dough.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: That's the most important part of the dough composition of
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: pizza making.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Dolph, Brewers win last night. They win the series.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: They recovered from a rough one on Monday with the
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Cooper Pratt benching and all that that we were worried about.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: And they're in pretty good shape going into this weekend,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: going into the final stretch here, and the tournament with
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the Cubs starts Monday.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: They have seven games left, and they're up seven on
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: the Cubs. I think it's over for the Cubs. I mean,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: if you do them, you think, oh, man, the Cubs
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: are going to be dangerous, and they're going to be
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: a good playoff team, obviously, but When you do the
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: math on it, if the Brewers finish 500, what would
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: the Cubs have to finish?
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: They'd have to have 20-some wins.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: 21-7 or something like that. They'd have to go on
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: a heater. That's not going to happen. Yeah, the math
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: tells you that. More importantly, it's three up on the
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Dodgers right now.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, for the best record. And they won the season series.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Firstly, one of the two best records because, as I say,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: you win the series, you don't play. The other thing
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: about the Dodgers is they just got swept by the Braves.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: They've looked vulnerable. Now, granted, their compromise is always, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: they don't.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: They can calibrate and pretty much.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: But they're not going to get like last year, if
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: they play and have, they played Cincinnati last year, right.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: In the first round. Yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: What if they have to play Arizona, San Diego or Philly?
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Like that's a legit series. And like, it is, you
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: hope for them to not get the buy. So they
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: have to play that first, you know, sir. So cheering
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: for Atlanta to pass the Dodgers for a second.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: And the brewers, you know, they get a Texas Rangers
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: team tonight that is under 500, but they're in the
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: American league. They're still, they're, fighting for the playoffs. They
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: have names you recognize. It's not like it's going to
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: be a pushover. It's not going to be like the Mets.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: No, but yeah, I mean, even the Mets took one
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: from the Brewers. They did. But that's baseball. You're not
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: going to win every game.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: We're just so used to winning around here the last
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: four years. I mean, that's what it is. It's true.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Nine of the last ten seasons winning record. And I
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: think we were at 80 wins or more at this point.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: for the last four years. Remember when you used to
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: get excited about a 500 season? We were just.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Talking about it yesterday. We were just talking about it, yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Brewers are at 83 wins now.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I put on our big shot sheet headline, Brewers clinch
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: 82nd win, because that was once upon a time the
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: biggest deal of my life.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Was it last year the all-time mark? Is that the record?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 97? 97. Yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: They could pass that. They could win 100 games. It's possible.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Something they've never done. I think it's getting to be
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: more of a stretch, but I don't know.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Brewers have never won 100 games, and only once have
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: they lost 100 games.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: And that was right when Miller Park opened, wasn't it? Yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that was the 0-2 debacle. God awful team. The year
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: of the All-Star game. 2002. Ironically, they had two All-Stars
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: that year. Sexton and Jose Hernandez. They did indeed. Jose
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Hernandez was an All-Star. He was.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: He actually had a pretty good power season. He looked
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: better in the analytics era. Cause he, you know, he
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: struck out a lot and a lot of people were like,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: how could he be an all-star?
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: It's just cause that was before strikeouts were accepted. No,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: but I'm like, he was back in his war and stuff.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: It's the cost of doing business.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: And it's when I, and I worked, it's because second jobs,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I worked at the team store. It was called the
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: fan zone back then. And his wife, uh, wanted, um,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: a bunch of pencils to send back to Dominican or
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: wherever he was from. I can't remember Bruce, the pencils.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: But she wanted them unsharpened or sharpened.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I can't remember. There was something we had to do
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: for her. Oh, wow. To sharpen the pencil.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: When you were a full-service employee, Armin, you took care
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: of that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: You're kidding me? As a brewer's wife? I thought he
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: was from Puerto Rico. I'll do anything. Maybe Puerto Rico.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I was going to do anything. I mean, you know. Oh,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: When one of the players' wives came in, we dropped
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: all the, you know, pull out all the stops to
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: make sure they were okay.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: We got a wag alert. Wag alert. Exactly. Make sure
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: everything's good. What kind of hats would you like, Mrs.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Hart?
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure. It's too funny.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: That is too funny.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: All right, so we got Country Music Night, and it
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: just happens to be against the Texas Rangers.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ironically, right?
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: They were choosing Texas for their opponent for Country Music Night. Oh,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: I made myself throw up.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: What do you expect out of it? And then shift
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: gears to the Packers. What do you expect out of
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: this third and final preseason game?
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: A bunch of guys vying for practice squad positions, like
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: nobody of significance playing too much. It's going to be
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: for the diehards, but it's Lambeau, it's the Packers, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: then cut down day is Sunday.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: We were talking about that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: So they had the big practice on Wednesday that Billy
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: and Wayne narrated. That was the, and they started out
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: gangbusters and they didn't finish well. They didn't do well
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: in the two minute drill. Apparently they went over for
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: first offense and first defense lost. And then second units
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: both lost small sample.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Is that more important than, than playing in the final preseason?
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the, for the starters, that was the
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: final preseason game basically. So now they're going to end
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: the decisions. Like, do we really think if someone has
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: an interception or, breaks a long run or something like,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: is that going to sway?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: It might. It's their closing argument for guys. But most
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: of the work has already been done.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: I think most of those decisions, if they had to
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: make their cuts today to get to 53 without seeing.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: The game, they could do it. And I don't know
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: if they'd be that much different.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: And for a lot of these guys, it's their last
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: chance to live a dream and go play.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: And they're putting stuff on tape for other teams. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: then there's going to be guys like, you know, there
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: hasn't been as much hand-wringing. But there's these Packers of
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: guys like the Shepard kid and the Nair, and they
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: have talented receivers who aren't going to make the 53.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: And everybody's like, oh, if we put them on waiver,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: somebody's going to claim them. And every other team has
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: guys like that. Absolutely. So you keep your own.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: And so the Packers will keep who they want, put
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: them on the practice squad. The other ones will go
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: off about their lives, like I'm saying, it might be
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: their last time suiting up.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: And you love these success stories where guys on their
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: fourth or fifth team, and they've never gotten off a
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: practice route. And then all of a sudden they catch
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: fire with the team and they become, I always remember
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Keenan McCardell.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: The Jaguars player.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Who just couldn't, he just, he got cut and cut
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: and cut. And then finally he just caught fire and
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: became great.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: And him and Jimmy Smith were a good duo in Jacksonville.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting story, always, looking at McCardell's stories. There's
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: probably not a bigger story than Kurt Warner. Well, that's
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: the one.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: The Barnstormers, right?
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Iowa Barnstormers, Amsterdam Admirals, and then with the Packers.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: You see that famous photo of him fourth in line
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: at quarterback in summer camp.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: With the Packers. Yeah, it was Favre Brunel, him, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I want to say Ty Detmer or somebody. Sounds right.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Packers opened against the Steelers. And they lost. They beat
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the Broncos on Friday night.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: So does anybody care about tonight completely?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: But it's LeFleur against LeFleur. That's cool.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: But it's vanilla and it's backups. So there isn't much
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: to be gained from tonight. Although Trace Mack apparently struggled
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: in the combined practice Wednesday. And we'll see if he
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: can stay perfect on the preseason.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: I think everybody's zeroing in on Vikings September 13th right now.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: And it's the cut down thing. Yeah.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I don't remember the reason why they didn't. They changed
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: the cut down. I'm sure there was some science behind it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Instead of going from 92 to 82 to 60 or whatever,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: now it's just 92 to 53.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Boom. Everybody gets cut at the same time. Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know the advantage of that either. But that'll
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: happen tonight. And, well, obviously, there might be some injuries tonight.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: But Wayne Larrabee's convinced that there's going to be some
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: cuts that surprise us.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: We'll schedule a talk to him the next hour. We'll
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: see if he still believes that.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: That's right. And one of the things that, again, the cloud,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs. Yeah. Going to be charged and like, we
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: don't know. It's interesting.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: It's misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. When
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: you saw the police report, it looked like really, really
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: serious stuff. It's still serious, but when you see the
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: word misdemeanor in front of it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: They didn't have a felony, right? They didn't think they
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: could make it stick.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Goody's saying that the team is prepared.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: They're ready for a suspension if it happens. It seems
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: like his initial appearance... is November 13th. And like, if
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: you push that past the holidays, then you're into January.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: And it's like, it seems to me like he's going
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: to be able to play this year with a cloud
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: over him.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: And usually the NFL, if I'm not wrong, but it
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: seems like the NFL's precedent is to wait for the
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: legal process to complete before they suspend, which would mean months.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, really it could be months. I mean, that
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: was Billy's prediction yesterday.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: That's the thing is that it could take, you know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: and this is his last year in green Bay anyway.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: So most likely, I mean, contract wise, contract wise.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: So, but something could drop, like he could get a
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: six game suspension or an entire season, but they need
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: more information or a conviction or the video to come out.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: And apparently there are videos from different angles, including into
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: the garage. Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: And that's what the one, and that's what they were.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: It took a while. That's what.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: The delay was in this investigation took him a couple
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: months to extract that or forensically, however they got it,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: but everything, yeah. And if they have it, but if
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: that gets released, the league might do something.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: But short of that, well, you always remember the, the
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Ray Rice. Yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Short of that, I think it looks like he's going
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: to play the whole season, but he plays with the cloud.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering if he touches the rock in the first
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: home game when they play on that Thursday night, what the.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Reaction will be. Does he get booed? Does he get cheered?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Very interesting. Luke warm is a very emotional topic for
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of people. It is for sure. Who's the
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: home opener against, uh, I'm blanking. Is it Cleveland?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I'm blanking, too.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Me, too.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm blanking all of a sudden.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: It's week three. It's their week three. I'm locked into
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the week in front of us.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: There's a lot on your mind. We've got college football
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: this weekend, too.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: There's a lot to think about. Oh, my God. Yeah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: that's wild. Falcons.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Atlanta.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah, it's Atlanta. You're right. Packers are
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: at Vikings, at Jets, then home against the Falcons in
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: week three. That's right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: So get two of the— I think.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: What, four of their last five are at home? So
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: the back-loaded, cold-weather home schedule. The only one is not
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: is Christmas Day against the Bears, probably. Correct. Is that
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the only one? That's the only one. That's the only one. Yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: it's going to be bizarre.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Bill Belichick and his team playing tomorrow in Ireland.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Week zero, that's the first game.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Week zero. 11 o'clock tomorrow morning against TCU, North Carolina.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: And then the Badgers play there next year. Yeah, against Pitt. Pitt, Wisconsin.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I mentioned this yesterday. We were there two years ago
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: for that game. It was a fun atmosphere. You had
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: such a contrast in fan bases. It was Florida State
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: against Georgia Tech, and you got all the Seminoles in
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: from Tallahassee making a lot of noise, wearing their sweatpants.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: And then the Georgia Tech crowd was very refined, you know,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: distinguished-looking couples strolling around Dublin.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Southern Atlanta socializing.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, with money, obviously, that's a good smart school, right?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tech, I mean, yeah. Yeah, that's just wild. Dolph,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: what do you got going this weekend? Oh, let's see.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: We have our secret show tomorrow on FM 106 down
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: at the Cooperage in Milwaukee.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a good spot, and it's always a
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: good event. We never know. We don't even know. Shanna
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: won't tell us who's going to be there. I love
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: that she keeps you guys in the dark. It's better
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: that way. Not even a heads up for you and Shanna.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Then you're not tempted to leak it by accident anywhere,
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: you know? Yeah, and she knows us too well not
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: to tell us, obviously. And then I'm going to play
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: a little golf on Sunday before it rains, hopefully.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Good call.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of the calm before the storm, right? Sounds
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: like a plan. Before football season starts.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: All right, have a good one. You too, guys. Have
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: a great weekend.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: All right, we're getting close.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Wayne Larry joins us at 725. You're in the huddle,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Armand bringing us back with a highlight from Brewers TV.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Jeff Levering on the call. Jackson Churio with two homers
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: and four hits yesterday. He's at the head of the
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Delta Pledge class known as Who's Hot and Who's Not.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. He's
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: heating up again.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Trusted HVAC repair, installation, and maintenance experts since 1985. Check
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: them out at donovanjorgensen.com. Now, Churio was hot. Two homers
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Four hits. Tying a career high. One of the best
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: games of his career. And you remind yourself, he's 22
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: years old. That's right. Same as the Brewers' magic number.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: 22-year-old hit.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Led him yesterday. Magic number is now 22 for the
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Brewers to win the NL Central for the fourth year
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: in a row.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Who else is hot? Miz. Well, he's hot all the time, basically. Miz.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Even kind of like a, eh, night where he's battling
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: with the mound. Six innings, give up two runs. Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: 89 pitches.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Chris Sale, you have to say, is pretty hot. Chris
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Sale is on the who's hot list, absolutely.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: No doubt.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, the way he crushed last night.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Chris Sale pitched a complete game shutout, beat the Dodgers,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: won nothing.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Kicked the crap out of the Dodgers, won nothing as
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: the Braves swept the series.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Who's hot, not hot? Fernando Mendoza, a little bit of
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: a struggle again. Fernando Mendoza is at the top of my.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: List of who's not hot because he had a decent debut,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: a mech Second game. And last night against the 49ers,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: they sent him out there. Cousins played two series, I guess.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: But Mendoza during his stint, seven for 14. And you're like, oh,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: that's not horrible. But 57 yards, an interception, no touchdowns,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: two sacks, and a passer rating of 31. He was
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: overthrowing guys. He was late with his reads. Now, he
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: was under pressure.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot last night.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: But was he under pressure because he's holding the ball
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: too long? Or was he under pressure?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Was he?
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Was he rattled because the pressure was bad? That's one
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: of those chicken and egg things, right? He seemed to
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: be going through his reads. He threw a pick on
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: his second snap, and then it was like, oh, okay.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Then he seemed to be going to check downs a lot.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: He wasn't good.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Now he's a rookie. He looked like a rookie.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: It's preseason. Cousins has obviously been more steady in that role. Obviously,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: you have time and all that stuff. It's not like
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: we like to litigate early on quarterbacks now, which I
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: think is a mistake. However- He was under pressure, but
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: it's been a little bit of a rocky road from
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: the last couple games. With that being said, he could
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: have been blazing fantastic in these preseason games, and then
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: if the season started and he wasn't, people wouldn't care.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: True, true. Really what matters now doesn't matter results-wise. They
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: did a smart thing in bringing in Cousins, though.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to help bridge the gap. I think it would
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: be a smart idea to let Cousins play a little bit.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think they're going to.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: They're not going to announce a starter, but I think
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: that's going to happen. They won't announce a starter, but
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to let Cousins play.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Why not? Because otherwise you lose the locker room. And
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: you don't want Mendoza to lose confidence. No, and you
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: don't have to.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: That's why you signed Kirk Cousins, to kind of babysit
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: and win some games along the way. But developing Mendoza
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: is obviously their goal, the job won.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: But that being said, it's always a reminder. What happens
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: in preseason really doesn't matter.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: True.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: And who else is not hot to a Tua Tungvalu.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: They're closing out against Miami. And Tua's probably, even though
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Michael Penix just got back, it looks like he might
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: win the starting job because Tua's been so underwhelming in
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: the preseason.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: He really has.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And it seems like, you know, we talked a lot
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: about that yesterday. What's his desire level? Does he look timid?
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Does he want to be there?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of questions right now for Tua and
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: his career and his life, I'm sure. So all that stuff.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: And we mentioned Andrew Fisher a Obviously, he's hot.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: He's surpassing 40 homers, another few bombs yesterday.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: And what to do with him?
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: You know, Bret Hot Tim Knot was asking me on
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the talk and text line, do you bring love to AAA?
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: The season's about to end, so I'm not sure it matters. Nah,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of excitement for him as well,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: so A lot of candidates this week for this, or today,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I should say.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Plenty of candidates.
• 39:53
