2:08
Speaker 3: Yeah?
2:09
Speaker 2: Not much? How were you guys? It was Friday? How
2:11
Speaker 2: was birthday weekend for the young sprout of yours?
2:13
Speaker 3: Great?
2:14
Speaker 6: Thanks, great weather. We were blessed with and turned out
2:16
Speaker 6: to be a great weekend. I got the slip and
2:18
Speaker 6: slide working, which was the biggest win Dad win for
2:20
Speaker 6: me over the weekend. I was able to correctly connect
2:23
Speaker 6: the hose to the correct bigot to get that and
2:25
Speaker 6: the splash pad going.
2:27
Speaker 2: So listen, I'll take it.
2:28
Speaker 6: You know what your cousins, could you know, enjoy the sun,
2:31
Speaker 6: enjoy the weather.
2:32
Speaker 2: And I'm taking that a How.
2:34
Speaker 5: Confident were you in righty tidy, left you Lucy? Or
2:36
Speaker 5: did you start second guessing the old saying.
2:38
Speaker 2: You know what?
2:39
Speaker 6: No matter how many times you tell yourself. Yeah, like
2:41
Speaker 6: you said, lefty Lucy, righty Teddy, you're still just trying
2:44
Speaker 6: both just to wait, just to figure out eventually because
2:47
Speaker 6: it's lefty Lucy, righty Tuddy. But it's like my turning
2:49
Speaker 6: it left or right because on one hand it's going
2:52
Speaker 6: to the left, but it's also to the right side.
2:55
Speaker 2: I don't know.
2:56
Speaker 6: It's really confusing deal, but listen, I was. I was
2:59
Speaker 6: just all trying. But it's why you get up early. Okay,
3:01
Speaker 6: give your time.
3:03
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm saying, because the story that you're telling
3:05
Speaker 2: is connotes that you said that the slip and slide
3:08
Speaker 2: was operational for your daughter who celebrated her birthday Friday
3:11
Speaker 2: and then her cousins. Yes, over there were there was
3:15
Speaker 2: a gathering, good party. So was the big pressure of
3:18
Speaker 2: your gathering cleaning the house to Laura's standards? Was it
3:24
Speaker 2: getting the slip and slide to operate properly so the
3:26
Speaker 2: kids were entertained? Or was it in some way manning
3:29
Speaker 2: the grill and standing over as the tradition holds, Which
3:34
Speaker 2: was which was more pressure? Which caused you more ajita?
3:36
Speaker 2: It's a great question.
3:37
Speaker 6: I would say, you know, if you take everything in
3:41
Speaker 6: that totality, uh my, my job was mostly worried about
3:45
Speaker 6: that's the hoses and things like that, and then I
3:48
Speaker 6: was just helping around the edges. Otherwise, because of because
3:52
Speaker 6: of the relative newness of some of these aquatic apparatuses,
3:56
Speaker 6: I ran from the grind and successfully petitioned us to
4:00
Speaker 6: get Chick fil A catering instead of.
4:02
Speaker 2: Oh it was a catered to fair. See you did
4:05
Speaker 2: not stand over.
4:06
Speaker 6: It wasnaycause it wasn't like super big either, so that
4:10
Speaker 6: was part of it. But it's like big enough where
4:12
Speaker 6: I was like all right, well, instead of you know, I.
4:14
Speaker 5: Just got a couple of thirty nugg packs and a
4:15
Speaker 5: couple of sandwiches and call it a day exactly.
4:18
Speaker 6: And you know, so I successfully putitioned for this chick
4:20
Speaker 6: Flake catering, which did help.
4:22
Speaker 2: Although I feel confident enough in my grilling, like I don't.
4:25
Speaker 6: I don't go like all the way through on the
4:27
Speaker 6: smoker like Billy and do some like next level rib
4:30
Speaker 6: smoking and all these different things that Billy can do
4:32
Speaker 6: on multiple I just have regular grill. It's not like
4:35
Speaker 6: I have Blackstone and all these different things. So I
4:37
Speaker 6: could have cooked burgers and brats and hot dogs. But
4:41
Speaker 6: you know, I felt like this was gonna be a
4:43
Speaker 6: good way too.
4:44
Speaker 5: You've been sending, you've been cutting some some pictures and
4:46
Speaker 5: some meat, but now and then you you've been firing
4:48
Speaker 5: some tea bom stuff on there.
4:49
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't sell yourself short.
4:51
Speaker 6: I can do a caul, can burn a little, I
4:53
Speaker 6: can do a couple of things, but I you know,
4:55
Speaker 6: for the gathering though, it was also like I had
4:57
Speaker 6: to make I had to make the Sam's Club in
5:00
Speaker 6: the morning because it's closer than Costco. But it's the
5:02
Speaker 6: same thing. You know, do some things like that so
5:05
Speaker 6: I would say it sounds like quite strenuous labor. Quite strenuous. Man.
5:08
Speaker 6: The twenty pound icebags where absolutely but I packed the cooler.
5:11
Speaker 6: I did all those things successfully. So oh so you
5:14
Speaker 6: thought you earned yourself some take out. At that point,
5:16
Speaker 6: I felt like it was like, I feel a real
5:18
Speaker 6: adult a little bit.
5:19
Speaker 2: You're hosting. When you're hosting, it's a different animal, different
5:22
Speaker 2: animals to think about it.
5:23
Speaker 6: But I think next time, you know, maybe grilling is
5:26
Speaker 6: in the offing because I'm more confident the rest of it,
5:28
Speaker 6: and that way I can we can save a little
5:30
Speaker 6: more in the margins, because you know, the the Chick fil.
5:33
Speaker 2: A was a hit though with the I was gonna say, though,
5:36
Speaker 2: about four or five kids, all.
5:38
Speaker 5: Due respect to your grilling uh acumen and even drew.
5:42
Speaker 5: Whether I'm five or thirty five, I pull up to
5:45
Speaker 5: a party and somebody's got Chick fil A.
5:47
Speaker 2: That's a different tone. That's solid. That's a good decision.
5:49
Speaker 5: I'm going to be very very happy there, and the
5:51
Speaker 5: kids are going to be even more excited. Uncle Arman
5:54
Speaker 5: made hot dogs. Yeah, okay, cool, we'll get off, we'll
5:57
Speaker 5: stop playing with the water and choke down half one.
6:00
Speaker 5: But like, well, you got Chick fil a, all right, sweet,
6:02
Speaker 5: everybody's attentive.
6:03
Speaker 6: And get the big tray the catering for the nuggets
6:05
Speaker 6: like you guys, Oh yeah, Should we just get the
6:07
Speaker 6: big tray? Like you gotta get the big tray because
6:10
Speaker 6: those are first of all, those are things you can
6:11
Speaker 6: eat later. Those are things you can eat like left over.
6:14
Speaker 6: Those are the things you can You're gonna keep eating.
6:16
Speaker 2: Throughout the day.
6:17
Speaker 6: It's not You're not gonna get tired of Chick fil
6:18
Speaker 6: a nuggets. So I would say that was a good
6:20
Speaker 6: decision over the weekend. That was good, good call, good call.
6:23
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear that it went smoothly and
6:26
Speaker 2: it was not a debacle, because we're gonna spend much
6:28
Speaker 2: of our time today is pondering the question of what
6:31
Speaker 2: was the bigger debacle debacles the Brewers series in Pittsburgh
6:36
Speaker 2: to wrap up the pre All Star portion of their
6:39
Speaker 2: championship season in twenty twenty six or Billy's Connor McGregor
6:43
Speaker 2: headlining fight. Yes, it was good on this side, though.
6:47
Speaker 2: It was good on the one side.
6:49
Speaker 5: On the on the holloway side, I was okay with,
6:52
Speaker 5: but goodness, gracious, was that rough from the graphics to
6:55
Speaker 5: Sophie Cunningham walking the ring entrance around. Yeah, it was,
6:59
Speaker 5: it was. It was something to be hold there on him.
7:02
Speaker 5: Connor recgregor last a minute. I don't know that he
7:04
Speaker 5: lasted thirty seconds. I mean like he he went for
7:07
Speaker 5: the first kick and that knee buckled and it was over.
7:11
Speaker 5: And Max Holloway looked over at the ref and said, yeah,
7:15
Speaker 5: his kids are in the front row.
7:16
Speaker 2: What do you want me to do here? What do
7:17
Speaker 2: you want me to do here? I'm not doing this.
7:19
Speaker 2: Leg buckled and yeah, but Holloway let him up. Yeah,
7:22
Speaker 2: and then it was like what are we doing here?
7:25
Speaker 2: And Holloway talked about it after the fight.
7:27
Speaker 5: He saw it. He went down, he's on his back,
7:29
Speaker 5: he said. He pulled up and McGregor looked at him
7:32
Speaker 5: and yelled fight. He goes, all right, we'll stand up.
7:34
Speaker 5: Then he lets him stand up and then he goes
7:37
Speaker 5: right back down, And it was it was something to
7:40
Speaker 5: behold there in that main event. But it's almost like
7:43
Speaker 5: when the wheels fall off and you try to put
7:45
Speaker 5: him back together, and five years later they might just
7:47
Speaker 5: fall off again.
7:48
Speaker 2: They might just fall off again.
7:50
Speaker 5: I saw my friend Wes Hodquit say Max was gonna
7:52
Speaker 5: retire Connor last night. Drew Connor retired Connor on Saturday night.
7:57
Speaker 2: No, he's gonna come back for the cash and they'll
7:59
Speaker 2: they want they're talking trilogy already, and he's got a con.
8:02
Speaker 2: He's got a fight left on his UFC contract and
8:04
Speaker 2: damn you know he's gonna box you know, Floyd Mayweather.
8:09
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, we could find somebody in there
8:11
Speaker 5: driving down Floyd Mayweather Boulevard. Right, that'll be the next
8:15
Speaker 5: one and people will buy it and it'll be like,
8:17
Speaker 5: what are we doing as a society. The crazy thing
8:20
Speaker 5: is that he hasn't fought a Paul Brother yet. Oh
8:23
Speaker 5: that could come Yeah, that's maybe that's where one of
8:26
Speaker 5: the would Maybe that's where the next one comes into,
8:29
Speaker 5: because that that could definitely be a Jake Paul.
8:32
Speaker 2: That would be h the bacle with the capital d
8:35
Speaker 2: oh goodness great. I do know. I just love West
8:37
Speaker 2: at some UFC takes, like you know what I mean,
8:42
Speaker 2: huge into UFC or noa con That's quite the dichotomy.
8:46
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, his his acting range. He is
8:49
Speaker 2: always an singer songwriter in his fields, you know, getting
8:53
Speaker 2: weepy and then watching a blood sport.
8:55
Speaker 5: Yes, and his best friend was getting married. I believe
8:58
Speaker 5: he was in the wedding on Saturday. I was talking
9:00
Speaker 5: to him because I kind of anticipated he would be
9:01
Speaker 5: out in Vaze brother. Only a couple of guys would
9:06
Speaker 5: keep me from seeing Connor's fight, and it was one
9:08
Speaker 5: of his buddies that he was helping get married.
9:09
Speaker 2: This weekend I loved.
9:10
Speaker 6: I love when when like there are certain things I
9:13
Speaker 6: didn't expect that, and I love knowing that because it
9:15
Speaker 6: shows you the depth. You know, it shows you the
9:17
Speaker 6: depth of somebody, because it shows you howmoch depth.
9:19
Speaker 2: Well, I felt like I had some real depth this weekend.
9:22
Speaker 5: I watched seven to eight full points worth of the
9:26
Speaker 5: Wimbledon men's final.
9:28
Speaker 2: Yeah that's big, and al Kraz wasn't even in it,
9:31
Speaker 2: so that's big.
9:31
Speaker 5: I was. I was quite impressed myself, Drew, I gave
9:34
Speaker 5: myself a little bit of a little bit of the Wimbledon.
9:36
Speaker 5: It sounded like it was a phenomenal match for those
9:38
Speaker 5: that watched the entire way through could imagine.
9:40
Speaker 6: And once again Zaveriev got all the weight to the
9:42
Speaker 6: end to lose in the final. But that's what he does.
9:45
Speaker 6: He's good enough to get there to give a good
9:48
Speaker 6: fight in the final and usually take second in a major,
9:50
Speaker 6: but cinner with the wins.
9:52
Speaker 2: So that's good stuff. Yeah, it was good, good, good
9:54
Speaker 2: Wimbledon overall.
9:55
Speaker 6: Listen, this Wimbledon was overshadowed, no question, because the niche
9:58
Speaker 6: summer sport of choice is in World Cup.
10:00
Speaker 2: So this Wimbledon got overshadowed a little bit.
10:03
Speaker 3: And then the.
10:03
Speaker 6: Female women's final was was two check players, so we
10:07
Speaker 6: didn't have an American but it was still a pretty
10:09
Speaker 6: good final.
10:09
Speaker 2: If you were watching it, it was.
10:11
Speaker 6: It was It was a marathon. You know, these are
10:13
Speaker 6: long matches. But yeah, good stuff, Billy, that shows your depth.
10:17
Speaker 6: I was quite proud of myself. I'm impressed by that.
10:20
Speaker 6: All right, good work, good.
10:21
Speaker 5: Work, And speaking on a game balls and kicks to
10:23
Speaker 5: the balls Monday, you might re that might reappear. I
10:26
Speaker 5: might reappear a little bit later because I was. I
10:28
Speaker 5: was quite proud of myself. I also watched a decent
10:30
Speaker 5: amount of soccer there on Saturday too, drew good matches.
10:33
Speaker 6: Those matches Saturday those there was some good matches setting up.
10:38
Speaker 6: You know, this is like the final four. People like
10:40
Speaker 6: when they watch the NCAA tournament, they want the battle
10:43
Speaker 6: of Titans in the final four, and you're getting that. Yeah,
10:45
Speaker 6: we got our situation. It's all done, you know. I
10:47
Speaker 6: mean Norway with a great run you know that ended.
10:50
Speaker 6: You know, Switzerland with a great run that ended, both
10:53
Speaker 6: under you know, tight questionable circumstances. But hey, it's been
10:57
Speaker 6: a great tournament, no doubt, and we're gonna be set
10:59
Speaker 6: up for a good final four year.
11:01
Speaker 2: That's right. Uh Billy mentioned it. You can five o'clock
11:04
Speaker 2: clubs check in, say hi, let us know what you
11:06
Speaker 2: think about the proceedings and the conversations we're having at
11:09
Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven nine three. That's the Nicola A
11:11
Speaker 2: lotta co'm talking and text line. But we got to
11:15
Speaker 2: talk about the Brewers. I mean, they're sputtering and wheezing
11:18
Speaker 2: into the into the break with the three losses. Now,
11:22
Speaker 2: they should have won both games on Saturday. Well, they
11:24
Speaker 2: could have won both could have won both games on Saturday.
11:27
Speaker 2: That's fine. Sunday got debackled. And it started when mis
11:30
Speaker 2: was pulled and you say, oh, he didn't bounce back
11:32
Speaker 2: from his last start, and you're like, oh no, the
11:34
Speaker 2: hits keep coming. Harrison on the iisl oh my god,
11:38
Speaker 2: miss like well, it brings into sharper focus. It's no
11:41
Speaker 2: longer even a question. Do the Brewers need to trade
11:43
Speaker 2: for a starter? Absolutely, they do at least one. Yeah.
11:46
Speaker 5: The question now, Drew, is is it one or two?
11:49
Speaker 5: And I was advocating to anyway. Yeah, And I'm debating
11:51
Speaker 5: if it's multiple starting arms and we'll figure out the
11:54
Speaker 5: bullpen because I don't know how many trades you fully
11:56
Speaker 5: can make.
11:57
Speaker 2: But if you but if you have starting arm and
12:00
Speaker 2: you drop a drowing into the bullpen or you drop
12:02
Speaker 2: one of those guys that gets replaced, that, you know,
12:05
Speaker 2: the math works that can make it up for it.
12:07
Speaker 2: I still I still like the idea of the blueprint
12:10
Speaker 2: for me is an impact starter, one that makes it
12:13
Speaker 2: oh okay, good mm hmm, that that will not be
12:17
Speaker 2: that you won't be you won't feel as overmatched in
12:20
Speaker 2: the playoffs. And then a back of the bullpen arm
12:23
Speaker 2: that can slide in with McGill and your rebate whether
12:26
Speaker 2: they whether it's a closer, if you can get a closer,
12:28
Speaker 2: if you get you know, if you get we're to
12:30
Speaker 2: get a Josh Hater type great, yeah, sure, and then
12:32
Speaker 2: move those other guys up in the game. But if
12:35
Speaker 2: you don't, those guys have been proven to be pretty
12:37
Speaker 2: good and dependable. It's just you need a seven eight
12:39
Speaker 2: nine arm.
12:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you and we need some of these teams
12:43
Speaker 5: in the American League to start losing, right like we
12:44
Speaker 5: need we need something to start separating itself and and
12:47
Speaker 5: the Minnesota Twins to go on a little bit of
12:49
Speaker 5: a losing skid coming out of the All Star break,
12:51
Speaker 5: because I think Joe Ryan is a perfect guy, uh
12:55
Speaker 5: for the August third deadline who's been an All Star.
12:57
Speaker 5: I think he's an All Star this year as well.
12:59
Speaker 2: Uh. And he pitches exactly to the repertoire of the Brewers.
13:03
Speaker 5: A little bit of a country California guy come in here,
13:06
Speaker 5: and he's got a year and a half of control.
13:08
Speaker 5: So it's probably going to be a bigger package that
13:11
Speaker 5: you'd end up offering. But Drew, I think that's where
13:13
Speaker 5: the Brewers, I feel at this point in time, are
13:16
Speaker 5: more equipped, and they've always preferred that you're going to
13:20
Speaker 5: get some kind of guy with a little bit more
13:21
Speaker 5: control than just a simple rental. If I'm giving away
13:24
Speaker 5: some of the best farm system in baseball, I'd like
13:26
Speaker 5: to know that I got the impact arm for a
13:28
Speaker 5: year and a half, and who knows, maybe you peel
13:30
Speaker 5: him off in the offseason again this year and you
13:33
Speaker 5: can recoup some of that. But Joe Ryan right now
13:36
Speaker 5: is the guy that's got my eye caught. And I
13:40
Speaker 5: know we had a lot of trek scuobl conversations. Tigers
13:43
Speaker 5: didn't equip themselves very well this weekend. They lost a
13:46
Speaker 5: couple of games in the standings and lost a couple
13:48
Speaker 5: of the Phillies Schooble loss yesterday most importantly, But I
13:52
Speaker 5: don't know that that one is as available as some
13:54
Speaker 5: other ones will. But it is clear as day with
13:57
Speaker 5: Harrison going down and not knowing how so his response
14:01
Speaker 5: will potentially be with the soreness and miss yeah, knew
14:05
Speaker 5: you were gonna have to Babysit comes with a really
14:10
Speaker 5: negative connotation, but you had to watch and you had
14:13
Speaker 5: to be very careful and diligent that you weren't overstressing
14:16
Speaker 5: either of their guys. Those guys' innings limits and arms
14:19
Speaker 5: going forward, and for it to hit right here at
14:22
Speaker 5: the time where you get a nice week off, it
14:24
Speaker 5: comes at a perfect time. We joke about it in
14:26
Speaker 5: the NFL there's never a bad time for a buye.
14:28
Speaker 5: This one comes at a perfect time for the staff,
14:31
Speaker 5: but damn it sure reemphasizes that you do have some
14:34
Speaker 5: questions with how young these guys are, of how they'll
14:37
Speaker 5: be able to withstain and with stany in the next
14:40
Speaker 5: two months where you're trying to win this division.
14:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, there might be some uncomfortable moments in the last
14:43
Speaker 6: couple of months because of that. Like you said, Billy,
14:45
Speaker 6: there's still there's those are untarted territories for some of
14:48
Speaker 6: these guys, and that's why getting more support would help.
14:51
Speaker 6: So a couple of L seven L eight would help
14:55
Speaker 6: in some of these American League teams, a couple losing
14:57
Speaker 6: streaks where we could get them comfortable with the idea
15:00
Speaker 6: being selling. So we'll see how it shakes out, how
15:02
Speaker 6: bad they need to break go those you guys said,
15:04
Speaker 6: and we're talking a Hunter about it today. That is
15:07
Speaker 6: correct twenty five as well, So that'll be that'll be
15:09
Speaker 6: a lot of a lot.
15:10
Speaker 2: Of fun to talk to Hunter. Yeah, that is correct.
15:12
Speaker 2: A friend of mine text me, he's like, why did
15:14
Speaker 2: the Brewers always sucking those series? Before the All Star
15:16
Speaker 2: break in Pittsburgh. I'm like, that does sound like a thing.
15:18
Speaker 2: It's always a thing. But Pittsburgh's had their number.
15:21
Speaker 6: Well, they haven't lost all, you know, they they've had
15:24
Speaker 6: some better luck. I'm seen some of the series, but
15:27
Speaker 6: we do remember the ones that have gone badly, Like.
15:29
Speaker 2: They lost a five loss in four day.
15:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they had somewhat stem the tide on
15:34
Speaker 6: that recently, if I'd have to go back and look,
15:36
Speaker 6: But once again, it was Pittsburgh walking in. Although it's
15:39
Speaker 6: that old thing, and we'll talk to about it, but
15:41
Speaker 6: it's that old thing. Like if these three losses came
15:44
Speaker 6: in April, we wouldn't think about them as much. But
15:46
Speaker 6: it's like that last taste before the All Star.
15:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's just yeah, they were holding their own.
15:51
Speaker 2: They had a great series in Saint Louis, great gritty series.
15:55
Speaker 2: Playing two doubleheaders in four days is taxing for anybody
15:59
Speaker 2: at any point at the end. And doing it at
16:01
Speaker 2: the end of a stretch of you know, eighteen and seven, seven,
16:04
Speaker 2: eighteen and seventeen or whatever the hell it was it
16:07
Speaker 2: you know the math math they did. They were running
16:09
Speaker 2: on fumes a little bit, oh big time.
16:11
Speaker 5: And I'm the Brewers and Dodgers both get swept over
16:13
Speaker 5: the weekend best two teams in the Yeah, wept by
16:16
Speaker 5: division rivals as the Diamondbacks and nipped to the Dodgers.
16:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's you know, that's a little bit mitigating.
16:22
Speaker 2: They just all right, we got to the break. Finally
16:25
Speaker 2: you knew this was that's their longest trip. You play
16:27
Speaker 2: three cities and it ended up being okay. And then
16:30
Speaker 2: you think to yourself, well, what if they had dropped
16:33
Speaker 2: one of the games in the doubleheader in Saint Louis
16:36
Speaker 2: and one one was Saturday, It all evens out right,
16:38
Speaker 2: it would have been like, but those were in the bank,
16:40
Speaker 2: and you, like, you get greedy, and it was you know,
16:43
Speaker 2: most doubleheaders are split and it's like, okay, And you
16:47
Speaker 2: know most if you play a four game series, a
16:49
Speaker 2: lot of times it's hard to win a four game series.
16:51
Speaker 2: And in this case, they won a five game series.
16:53
Speaker 5: Right, So I felt decent about the Uh, you walk
16:56
Speaker 5: out of the eight games in seven days, and as
16:59
Speaker 5: the fetuses it might sound, man, you go four and four,
17:01
Speaker 5: you're not gonna hurt yourself. And the worst case scenario
17:03
Speaker 5: happened at the end, and he still went four and
17:06
Speaker 5: four in the game. So I don't hate the total result,
17:10
Speaker 5: hate the process of it, but when you see and
17:13
Speaker 5: I think the other part of it. Grindle had a
17:16
Speaker 5: stat yesterday the last time the Brewers were swept by
17:19
Speaker 5: a division foe was Pittsburgh in like twenty one, So
17:23
Speaker 5: signals just how dominant the Brewers have been in the division.
17:26
Speaker 5: That is amazing. And for Pittsburgh to get him again,
17:30
Speaker 5: you know, they beat him two out of three games
17:32
Speaker 5: in April at home, and one of them was a
17:34
Speaker 5: lot more almost get more convincing fashion than yesterday's because
17:38
Speaker 5: I think Skemes had a no hitter going into the
17:41
Speaker 5: sixth or seventh inning on the second night of the
17:43
Speaker 5: NFL Draft. So Pittsburgh's had a nice little run against
17:47
Speaker 5: the Brewers and the only team that's really had some
17:49
Speaker 5: success in the NL Central. But you had to get
17:52
Speaker 5: to this break, and you desperately needed some time because
17:55
Speaker 5: your your rotation with all those young arms that have
17:58
Speaker 5: been so good and read you so far, they needed
18:01
Speaker 5: a nice blow. And Kyle Harrison most importantly needs himself
18:05
Speaker 5: a little bit of recentering time for the last month
18:08
Speaker 5: and a half because it has not been the same
18:09
Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison, you got accustomed to in those first two months.
18:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, I needed to find the Kyle Harrison you found
18:14
Speaker 6: for most of that first half when he was rolling,
18:16
Speaker 6: So no doubt about that.
18:17
Speaker 2: And then obviously Miz.
18:18
Speaker 6: Needed the the ramp down with the arm fatigue. So
18:24
Speaker 6: a lot of those things absolutely true. And yeah, I
18:27
Speaker 6: mean that, but the relative the quality of an organization,
18:31
Speaker 6: I mean to not be swept by the division opponent
18:33
Speaker 6: in five years since like delta strain of COVID, I mean,
18:35
Speaker 6: that's pretty amazing work.
18:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is really good.
18:38
Speaker 6: And and no matter how hard it is, how hard
18:41
Speaker 6: they've been pushing, they probably saw the the the break
18:45
Speaker 6: in their sites a little bit, and it's really hard
18:47
Speaker 6: those last couple of days of work before vacation getting
18:50
Speaker 6: right in that big family trip to Branson or something.
18:52
Speaker 2: It did feel like you were watching a different team
18:54
Speaker 2: over the weekend, though, because when when you knew that
18:57
Speaker 2: mis wasn't gonna pitch against Skeains we lost. That was
18:59
Speaker 2: going to be a peace cock anyway. But then all
19:00
Speaker 2: of a sudden you're like, wait a minute, who's Braden shoemaking?
19:03
Speaker 2: Why is he starting at third? What's this number thirteen
19:05
Speaker 2: that's playing over here? There's a long, lengthy cat. He
19:08
Speaker 2: brought back Tyler Saladino with that stash. He could have
19:12
Speaker 2: told me it was. Yeah, So Braiden Shoemak joins the
19:14
Speaker 2: party and like what like what you know?
19:18
Speaker 5: Well in Drew, I mean, all the prospect heads were
19:21
Speaker 5: knee deep in the MLB draft and even they didn't
19:24
Speaker 5: see the Saturday Night special that was Jet Williams tweaking
19:28
Speaker 5: his wrist.
19:30
Speaker 2: He would have been up yet.
19:31
Speaker 5: Otherwise he would have been up, and he would have
19:32
Speaker 5: given you at least a little bit of the emotional
19:34
Speaker 5: boost of oh well, at least we got to see
19:36
Speaker 5: one of those top prospects again.
19:37
Speaker 2: He hits the aisle. So it was, uh, which is
19:40
Speaker 2: an all.
19:40
Speaker 5: Bad weekend there in Pittsburgh. No good, very bad weekend.
19:43
Speaker 5: But that's fine. Now you get a couple of days,
19:45
Speaker 5: you get some relaxed recharge and hopefully watch Contreras.
19:49
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, maybe even up here in the All
19:50
Speaker 2: Star Game tomorrow. That'd be nice. Yeah, they drafted a
19:53
Speaker 2: bunch of fellas adding to their already rich coffers of
19:57
Speaker 2: their farm system, shortsws from California.
20:00
Speaker 5: We're going to figure something out here. I'm cooking something
20:03
Speaker 5: up here. I wonder if the Brewers are trying to
20:05
Speaker 5: back back channel away to be able to finally beat
20:07
Speaker 5: the Dodgers. All right, I love this. I'm starting to
20:10
Speaker 5: cook something up. I think they might. I think they
20:12
Speaker 5: might have cracked the code. We might not be able
20:14
Speaker 5: to beat them in money. We're going to hit them
20:17
Speaker 5: wort hurt.
20:17
Speaker 3: All right.
20:17
Speaker 2: We will discuss that as we move forward on the program.
20:20
Speaker 2: We'll take your thoughts. Game, balls and kicks always a treat.
20:22
Speaker 2: On Monday, we got a hunter Bomb got racked up
20:24
Speaker 2: for today as well, to get ready for a week
20:27
Speaker 2: of the Brewers and everybody else just resting and reflecting
20:30
Speaker 2: and looking ahead to what lies ahead. And then we
20:32
Speaker 2: got to talk about a potentially illegal Bucks trade. I
20:35
Speaker 2: mean Buck's signing like, oh my, so awesome, oh my,
20:40
Speaker 2: Buck's not leaving the national radar because they get they
20:44
Speaker 2: signed a deal that made everybody go, what the hell
20:47
Speaker 2: is that?
20:48
Speaker 5: You know what, though, they honor their agreements allegedly even
20:51
Speaker 5: if they're illegal.
20:52
Speaker 2: We'll talk about all of that and more. You're in
20:54
Speaker 2: the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio was Monday edition of The Huddle,
21:02
Speaker 2: Rolling along five o'clock Clubbers, Let's get after. It was
21:05
Speaker 2: a glorious weekend. Gonna be really hot the next couple
21:08
Speaker 2: of days. Armin's gonna keep the splash pad going. Billy
21:11
Speaker 2: and I are coming over. Yes, oh yeah, it's gonna
21:13
Speaker 2: be really hot all week.
21:14
Speaker 5: Pray for that grass because if you got that slipping
21:16
Speaker 5: slide up, I'm going right through that bad boy, and
21:19
Speaker 5: we are going to.
21:20
Speaker 2: Dowse so long. Well, and that's the thing, like does it?
21:24
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the water runs, so you're gonna have
21:26
Speaker 2: some green patches, but the part where the actual slipping
21:28
Speaker 2: slide is is gonna be brown. It's broken already. No,
21:31
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened.
21:32
Speaker 6: I really wasn't ready for that or really expecting it,
21:34
Speaker 6: but I figured it was there for half a day.
21:37
Speaker 6: It couldn't be that bad. But we already got that
21:38
Speaker 6: kind of brown patch where it is. That's just the
21:40
Speaker 6: reality of what it is. I don't know what else
21:42
Speaker 6: you can do about it. It'll be fine.
21:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I think too.
21:45
Speaker 6: I'm not one of these guys that's gonna be like
21:47
Speaker 6: testing the pH balance of my soil like to I'm
21:50
Speaker 6: not that hardcore about the law. You know, some of
21:52
Speaker 6: these guys are wild. You ever see some of these
21:54
Speaker 6: guys on Reddit talking about I've never seen that, but
21:57
Speaker 6: I do agree. I do believe that they're there.
21:59
Speaker 2: I would.
21:59
Speaker 5: I would though by Arman being the guy drew out
22:02
Speaker 5: on his hands and knees, picking out individual weeds in
22:06
Speaker 5: his grip.
22:06
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one thousand percent. It's a kid. My dad
22:09
Speaker 2: about that. He was such a perfectionist with the lawn
22:11
Speaker 2: and like he cuts it with a scissors.
22:13
Speaker 6: As much as like I wish I was hands and knees,
22:16
Speaker 6: I'm not that guy as much as I.
22:18
Speaker 2: Uneven hold on the way back in the day, Mom
22:20
Speaker 2: used to, you know, hands and knees mopping the scrubbing
22:23
Speaker 2: the floor. You know what that they make these things
22:26
Speaker 2: with sticks that you can push the you know, it's
22:28
Speaker 2: a lot more efficient, a lot more efficient, easier on
22:30
Speaker 2: the back to I prefer to just mow and leave it.
22:32
Speaker 6: But I know a lot of people want you to
22:34
Speaker 6: all kinds of things with the lawn. And you got
22:36
Speaker 6: you got a builder.
22:38
Speaker 2: Is what is fertilized? Yeah, arm And it's a point
22:41
Speaker 2: of pride.
22:42
Speaker 5: The fertilizing is is one that you're boards real messed
22:45
Speaker 5: up on this year, did not do And I'm paying
22:47
Speaker 5: the price for it.
22:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't do the feed. No, I didn't do
22:50
Speaker 2: the weed and feed messed up and it was a
22:52
Speaker 2: it was a problem. But we'll figure it out. I'll
22:54
Speaker 2: figure it out. I'm on my own lawn, though, I'm
22:56
Speaker 2: not like this. You know, you pay for a service
22:58
Speaker 2: and you just you know, we'll ha'd some of the
23:00
Speaker 2: you know, our stallwarts over on the sales side to
23:02
Speaker 2: get Billy a package where someone comes in and takes
23:05
Speaker 2: care of that for you. I could totally have services
23:08
Speaker 2: that will come in a couple of times a year
23:09
Speaker 2: and squirt the necessary nutrients on your lawn and you're
23:13
Speaker 2: good to go. That would be a beautiful thing. That
23:14
Speaker 2: would be a beautiful thing till people are awake over
23:16
Speaker 2: that clo. Let's get one happen. That's what we're gonna do.
23:21
Speaker 2: That's right. Eight seven seven seven nine four seven three.
23:26
Speaker 2: So the Brewers thing. One thing about the Brewers. It
23:28
Speaker 2: was nice out yesterday and I popped in and I
23:31
Speaker 2: turned on the Peacock and I heard Deli sit sitting
23:33
Speaker 2: in with the Pirates announcers, you know, and then I
23:36
Speaker 2: saw when I turned it on was the ten run inning. Oh,
23:41
Speaker 2: so you get it was just a time for the debacle,
23:44
Speaker 2: and it was like, hell, they're sending me back outside
23:47
Speaker 2: into this glorious Sunday summer day in Milwaukee. I don't
23:52
Speaker 2: need to go. I'm enjoying the Wisconsin weather. I don't
23:54
Speaker 2: have to worry about checking in on the birthday. The
23:56
Speaker 2: only drama was whether they're going to give up. I
23:58
Speaker 2: said on X like they could give up three touchdowns
24:00
Speaker 2: today because it was they were at like thirteen or
24:03
Speaker 2: fourteen without even working up a sweat.
24:05
Speaker 5: It was going to be if they could change the
24:06
Speaker 5: if they could make up for the point differential the
24:08
Speaker 5: Packers and Steelers from a year ago, and see if
24:10
Speaker 5: they could even the even up the scorebone just wondering
24:12
Speaker 5: how many innings Jake Bauers was gonna throw, but they
24:14
Speaker 5: didn't need him because of Bryce Wilson.
24:16
Speaker 2: That's true. That's the biggest UPO deal already worked. Is
24:19
Speaker 2: that you got smoked like that and you didn't even
24:22
Speaker 2: have to burn a position player arm and risk injury
24:24
Speaker 2: that way. That was I guess a victory.
24:26
Speaker 5: I guess I should have looked at the game log
24:28
Speaker 5: that earned him the great performance against the Brewers when
24:32
Speaker 5: they lost to a three to the Cubs a couple
24:33
Speaker 5: of weeks ago, Yeah, and then.
24:35
Speaker 2: Earned him a DFA.
24:36
Speaker 5: It had allowed him to be available for the Brewers
24:39
Speaker 5: to swipe him up on that one year deal, but
24:41
Speaker 5: the Cubs went X Brewer for X Brewer. They cut
24:43
Speaker 5: Bryce Wilson signed Jake Woodford. So they brought the Woodford
24:47
Speaker 5: reserve in on the north side and the Brewers were
24:49
Speaker 5: able to get.
24:50
Speaker 2: I liked that. I liked the Woodford for Wilson deal. Yes,
24:53
Speaker 2: I like that a lot.
24:54
Speaker 5: I like that a lot on this side too, because
24:56
Speaker 5: you had a workmanlike guy that. I mean, if anybody
24:59
Speaker 5: is going to be beloved by Pat Murphy, I would
25:01
Speaker 5: assume Bryce Wilson in that.
25:02
Speaker 2: In that UNI is going to and Bryce Wilson, without
25:05
Speaker 2: a doubt.
25:05
Speaker 6: His most productive year of his career was twenty three
25:08
Speaker 6: with the Brewers. He pitched over one hundred innings, was
25:11
Speaker 6: was decent to slightly above replacement level ate a lot
25:14
Speaker 6: of innings up for the Brewers, and in otherwise I
25:16
Speaker 6: would say unremarkable career. He's been exactly like replacement level
25:19
Speaker 6: but for like eight years, so he's grinding out an
25:21
Speaker 6: ice career. So maybe they have ideas of what they
25:24
Speaker 6: can tweak with Bryce to get a little more production
25:26
Speaker 6: out of them and if nothing else be you know,
25:28
Speaker 6: like innings eater things like that. So we saw the
25:30
Speaker 6: first example of it here when he was you know,
25:33
Speaker 6: kind of taking one for the team and eating up
25:35
Speaker 6: some innings.
25:36
Speaker 2: So that was somewhat useful.
25:38
Speaker 6: I'm just hopeful he can kind of regain that form
25:40
Speaker 6: that he had in twenty three.
25:41
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll get some out of them. That game lasted
25:44
Speaker 2: three hours, mostly of misery because once the second inning
25:48
Speaker 2: was over, the Brewers were pretty much cooked. If you
25:50
Speaker 2: stuck through it, I give you credit.
25:52
Speaker 6: You know.
25:52
Speaker 2: No, yeah, there's no way, especially with a peacock presentation
25:56
Speaker 2: and other things happening like there was. That was one
25:58
Speaker 2: where I talked to the parents and I asked them
26:00
Speaker 2: if they got the game on.
26:01
Speaker 5: If not, don't worry. Don't worry about it, go about
26:04
Speaker 5: your day. You'll DeFi okay, miss in this one. You
26:06
Speaker 5: look at just how many pitchers they've used here in
26:08
Speaker 5: the first what ninety five games as we reached the
26:13
Speaker 5: theoretical halfway point, Man, they are firing some bullets. I mean,
26:16
Speaker 5: you watch just the amount of different names that have
26:19
Speaker 5: made multiple appearances kind of forgot about Brian Fitzpatrick, who
26:23
Speaker 5: again looked nice in his first couple appearances. Then arm
26:25
Speaker 5: blew up during one of the warm ups in Colorado.
26:29
Speaker 5: Obviously we all remember Jokuno. He's sitting there on the
26:31
Speaker 5: il and on hell Zerpa, kind of chasing the loss
26:35
Speaker 5: from earlier in the year I think Drew where they
26:38
Speaker 5: make the move for Isaac Collins and Nick Meers to
26:41
Speaker 5: bring in a left hander that was going to be
26:43
Speaker 5: a leverage arm, and him going down early has really
26:47
Speaker 5: set them back, and it feels like they've been chasing
26:49
Speaker 5: one arm since then. All that to be said, they
26:52
Speaker 5: are still five games up in the division after the
26:56
Speaker 5: Cubs win a series, and they've really started to find
26:59
Speaker 5: their stride going into the All Star Breaking. You haven't
27:01
Speaker 5: necessarily played your best ball, but eighteen games in seventeen days,
27:04
Speaker 5: ten and eight, you take it. You desperately need, though to,
27:09
Speaker 5: and I think they've maybe we're all just forecasting and
27:12
Speaker 5: wish casting too much, but it appears like it's too
27:16
Speaker 5: clear and obvious that they're too good to not make
27:19
Speaker 5: multiple moves, or that there are multiple.
27:21
Speaker 2: Moves that could be made and should be made.
27:24
Speaker 5: And I feel like at some point you got to
27:25
Speaker 5: strike while the Irons are hot.
27:27
Speaker 2: They're not going to be stingy with all these they
27:29
Speaker 2: have an abundance of prospects and you can't play them all. No,
27:32
Speaker 2: And like we said, there's a couple of guys that
27:34
Speaker 2: you wouldn't even think about trading. But other than that,
27:36
Speaker 2: everything's on the table. And we brought it up last
27:39
Speaker 2: week that you know, Freelich could be dealt, like somebody
27:43
Speaker 2: from the big league roster could be dealt as well.
27:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, very well could be, especially if it's like a
27:46
Speaker 5: Casey Meis deal with Detroit who at some point they
27:49
Speaker 5: think that they're gonna want to compete again. Yeah, I
27:51
Speaker 5: would assume they want more major league ready guys too.
27:53
Speaker 2: As much as we love like a David Hamilton, there
27:55
Speaker 2: might be a team that covers him or something like
27:57
Speaker 2: these shown they just brewer magic that they have. You know,
28:00
Speaker 2: everything's on the table now because you're trying to you're
28:03
Speaker 2: trying to push in like and you're in first place.
28:05
Speaker 2: You got to hold off the Cubs and that the
28:08
Speaker 2: lift that they'll get again, Like on August third, when
28:11
Speaker 2: you if other teams are making deals and you stand
28:13
Speaker 2: pat and just try to go with what you got.
28:15
Speaker 2: That is not a message to the team lift. It's
28:18
Speaker 2: an emotional lift from making even minor moves what we
28:21
Speaker 2: think of minor moves that just okay, this is it,
28:24
Speaker 2: let's go, we know what we got. I want that.
28:26
Speaker 2: I want to move that puts wind in your sales,
28:29
Speaker 2: like a CC type. I want that, like all right,
28:31
Speaker 2: let's go. Now, let's get after it.
28:34
Speaker 5: And do you see one being there being one other
28:36
Speaker 5: than Schooble? Does Joe Ryan give you that little that
28:39
Speaker 5: little tickle?
28:39
Speaker 2: Does that point pretty good arm? They're a pretty established guy,
28:43
Speaker 2: like you want to bring in a starter. What I
28:46
Speaker 2: would say is I want a starter of the caliber.
28:49
Speaker 2: And this is like again they might. They're in position
28:52
Speaker 2: that they can do a rental. They have the of
28:54
Speaker 2: the farms, they could if But Tigers are getting back
28:58
Speaker 2: in the race and they're the American League so bad, and.
29:00
Speaker 5: I desperately don't think they want to trade him Google might.
29:04
Speaker 5: It looks like they're gonna ride it out and get.
29:05
Speaker 2: Nothing for him, right. But but the thing is, you
29:08
Speaker 2: want that, But I want the kind of guy that
29:11
Speaker 2: you have to do some math and say, well, he
29:13
Speaker 2: could challenge Mizzen and be the opening day guy. Oh okay,
29:16
Speaker 2: you know it's like that caliber of guy I want,
29:19
Speaker 2: like a guy that you would say, oh, he's not
29:20
Speaker 2: on the play starting a game one or like, that's
29:22
Speaker 2: the kind of guy I want, whether it's out there
29:25
Speaker 2: or not.
29:25
Speaker 6: I'm not sure you want Don Sutton for two more
29:27
Speaker 6: years after yeah.
29:29
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but I'm saying if you got a guy,
29:31
Speaker 2: even if it's a rental, but you know Turr schoobl obviously,
29:34
Speaker 2: well sure got some cy Young's on the Yeah, he's
29:36
Speaker 2: got he's got the pelts all right there on the wall.
29:38
Speaker 2: For sure, there's a guy. But if there's somebody like
29:40
Speaker 2: that that you say to yourself, okay, miss a side,
29:43
Speaker 2: he could be our opening day starter.
29:46
Speaker 5: Well, Joe Ryan would definitely be in the conversation. Two
29:48
Speaker 5: time All Star, back to second, back to back side
29:50
Speaker 5: back to back All Star appearances and this year e
29:53
Speaker 5: ra under threees flirted under three for a while, and
29:56
Speaker 5: he started twenty games already, uh this year in one
29:58
Speaker 5: hundred and ten innings, and the winds have been ready
30:00
Speaker 5: to shed salary for a while, and you get him
30:03
Speaker 5: for one more year. I heard Kurt Hogan, Corey Canabel
30:07
Speaker 5: going through it on their their podcast and they had
30:10
Speaker 5: some listeners submissions for some ideas of what this would take.
30:13
Speaker 5: And at some point I think everybody has taken off,
30:17
Speaker 5: just like the Brewers probably will. My Day, Painia both
30:20
Speaker 5: yesterday in the Futures game. My Day just looks like
30:23
Speaker 5: a big league that he does already. That bat was insane,
30:27
Speaker 5: just workman likes.
30:28
Speaker 2: By the way, He's at the top of the list
30:30
Speaker 2: of guys that you don't trade from the farm system.
30:32
Speaker 2: That's the thing deep down.
30:33
Speaker 5: But I also think he's the guys that nobody's asking for,
30:36
Speaker 5: like they understand that that's not happening.
30:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think I think organizationally, deep down you
30:41
Speaker 6: might think about we know the guys that we like
30:45
Speaker 6: that we and we know the guys that we know
30:46
Speaker 6: everyone else likes too. But maybe those guys were on
30:49
Speaker 6: a different list. You'd never reveal it. But maybe there
30:51
Speaker 6: are certain guys you say, Okay, even though we like
30:54
Speaker 6: them as a prospect, we're willing to part with them
30:55
Speaker 6: because maybe we don't see the same untouchable potential.
30:58
Speaker 5: Well, Jet Jet William brock Wilkin would be a great
31:01
Speaker 5: one A one B because you just acquired Jet Williams,
31:06
Speaker 5: who appears to be in a different class, a top
31:08
Speaker 5: one hundred prospect that you just got from the Mets
31:10
Speaker 5: in the deal. But Wilkins's a former first round pick
31:13
Speaker 5: who had hit pretty well at all different levels, and
31:16
Speaker 5: both are sitting there right at Triple A. If you
31:18
Speaker 5: peeled off Brock Wilkin, a first round pick two years ago.
31:22
Speaker 2: People have said, what are you doing?
31:23
Speaker 6: Sure?
31:23
Speaker 5: I mean, that's gonna be your first basement coming up
31:25
Speaker 5: in a couple of years. That's gonna clearly be your
31:27
Speaker 5: third basement of the future. But you only have one
31:29
Speaker 5: third base, and at some point, I think they're already
31:31
Speaker 5: looking at Andrew Fisher, who's got nine bombs at Double A,
31:35
Speaker 5: to play third base. So there's gonna be a log
31:37
Speaker 5: jam here and not everyone can play. And you're a
31:41
Speaker 5: game and a half out of the first seed in
31:44
Speaker 5: the National League, where you were again a year ago,
31:47
Speaker 5: and your team at the major league level is screaming
31:49
Speaker 5: for some help. It would be a This would be
31:51
Speaker 5: the most disappointing I think it's been if they didn't
31:55
Speaker 5: make a sizeable move right like.
31:57
Speaker 2: I think it was.
31:58
Speaker 5: I think it could be explained way a couple of
32:00
Speaker 5: times drew over the last couple of years where it
32:03
Speaker 5: might not have felt like do you really think this
32:05
Speaker 5: is the year? Do you really think this is the year?
32:07
Speaker 5: The other part is, this isn't the quote the old
32:09
Speaker 5: school all in mortgaging the farm and mortgaging the future
32:12
Speaker 5: that you're doing for one of these guys.
32:14
Speaker 2: I gotta think like we were the two for one
32:17
Speaker 2: of the well the two for four or two for
32:20
Speaker 2: five of Sonny Gray and roaldas Chapman coming over from
32:22
Speaker 2: Boston Boom at plug and play. That's a that's a
32:26
Speaker 2: game change. That's like you could just do that deal
32:29
Speaker 2: and I'd be happy, right.
32:31
Speaker 5: Yep, you could sit on your hands for the rest
32:32
Speaker 5: of the deadline if you made that one happen.
32:34
Speaker 2: That would be one because then you're you're checking two
32:36
Speaker 2: big boxes.
32:36
Speaker 6: There.
32:36
Speaker 2: You got the flame throwing lefty at the back end
32:39
Speaker 2: and you got the guy up front that that people
32:42
Speaker 2: the Bruce wanted Sonny Gray over the year.
32:44
Speaker 5: So I was gonna say that they've flirted with that
32:45
Speaker 5: one a couple of different times. He's got a full
32:47
Speaker 5: no trade clause and I think a sizable buy out
32:51
Speaker 5: for next year. So we'll see if that, but those
32:53
Speaker 5: things all get negotiated away, and again you have prospects
32:57
Speaker 5: in which if you don't want to spend the money,
32:59
Speaker 5: if the money ends up being the conversation that you
33:01
Speaker 5: would prefer not to pick up a certain amount of
33:03
Speaker 5: the contract, you negotiate that, and you're throwing a josh
33:06
Speaker 5: Adam shesky uh in a better prospect, have them throw
33:10
Speaker 5: some cash in pain or a Brock Wilkin and guys
33:12
Speaker 5: who have just like they have prospects that other teams
33:14
Speaker 5: would want that that might not being good players.
33:17
Speaker 6: Especially if it's not it's just a veteran starter. Like
33:19
Speaker 6: you look at some of the really bad teams, like
33:21
Speaker 6: the Royals. I mean they have you know, Michael Waka,
33:24
Speaker 6: and they.
33:24
Speaker 2: Have you know, I like Michael Waka.
33:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, they have guys like that, you know, so Seth Lugo.
33:29
Speaker 6: So maybe that those guys are like, you know, under
33:32
Speaker 6: control a year better and.
33:34
Speaker 5: Lugo's not having a great year. That might be a
33:35
Speaker 5: better one to be able to pay. The one that
33:37
Speaker 5: you'd be able to pick up probably a little less.
33:39
Speaker 2: They wouldn't cost like a top line prospect.
33:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they would cost something that you're willing to
33:43
Speaker 6: give up a triple A. It's hard to say. It's
33:46
Speaker 6: just it's that whole thing of who's going to really
33:47
Speaker 6: be a seller that you have to look into. Maybe
33:50
Speaker 6: the Angels have a guy who read Den Murder is
33:51
Speaker 6: a guy there.
33:52
Speaker 5: So I had a couple of years of control for
33:54
Speaker 5: Reid Detmers. He is going to be coveted at this deadline.
33:57
Speaker 3: Eve.
33:57
Speaker 5: Indeed, the Angels actually selp because I mean again, they
34:00
Speaker 5: were again, they were nine games out and they decided
34:02
Speaker 5: to keep two months of Otani when they could have
34:04
Speaker 5: gotten multiple future All Stars.
34:06
Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see, all right, eight seven seven
34:08
Speaker 2: seven on four one ninety seven three. When we come back,
34:11
Speaker 2: we'll hear Hunter's recap of a debacle of a game
34:13
Speaker 2: yesterday and the debacle of a weekend in the Burg.
34:16
Speaker 2: I was thinking of Janny and Appleton and all the
34:18
Speaker 2: Brewers fans who went there to They get rained out
34:21
Speaker 2: on Friday, so you got to explore Pittsburgh and crush
34:23
Speaker 2: some Iron cities and get a Primani Brothers sandwich, and
34:26
Speaker 2: then you got it Saturday, lose a double header, and
34:28
Speaker 2: then you go out and drown your sorrows and thinking
34:29
Speaker 2: you're gonna see mizz and then you get the rug
34:31
Speaker 2: pulled and rough weekend to travel with the brew crew.
34:34
Speaker 2: But we soldier on right here in the huddle Fox
34:36
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Wisconsin through a Monday with our five o'clock clubbers,
34:42
Speaker 2: Drew billion armand the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, our
34:46
Speaker 2: fourth cabillero. Here there's Hunter Bombguard whose updates on the
34:50
Speaker 2: Brewers are brought to us by import minded and he
34:54
Speaker 2: has to He had the task and this had to
34:56
Speaker 2: be tough for Hunter to hold his nose and create
34:58
Speaker 2: a report about the Brewers loss yesterday. They got the
35:00
Speaker 2: bockled and the finale of a three game series that
35:03
Speaker 2: included a doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Pirates
35:06
Speaker 2: on Saturday after a rain out Friday. It's bad news,
35:10
Speaker 2: but we're at the break. Take it away, Hunter b.
35:14
Speaker 3: Thanks guys.
35:15
Speaker 4: It was a weekend to forget for the Milwaukee Brewers
35:17
Speaker 4: as they fall in all three games to the Pittsburgh
35:19
Speaker 4: Pirates and get swept to one run losses on Saturday
35:22
Speaker 4: and blow out lost yesterday. So instead of focusing on
35:24
Speaker 4: what happened on the field over the weekend for the crew,
35:27
Speaker 4: let's look at what happened off the field because there
35:29
Speaker 4: were plenty of headlines starting with the Major League Baseball Draft.
35:31
Speaker 4: Who did the Brewers pick in the first round? Shortstop
35:34
Speaker 4: Trey Ebel, Who's the brother of Brady Evil, who they
35:37
Speaker 4: picked in the first round last year. So such a
35:39
Speaker 4: cool story. Their dad is a coach with the LA Dodgers.
35:42
Speaker 4: He's super proud. Going to be super fun to watch
35:45
Speaker 4: those two go up through the Brewers system.
35:47
Speaker 3: Now.
35:47
Speaker 4: Also, the final draft pick by the Brewers yesterday was
35:51
Speaker 4: Carston Sabathia.
35:53
Speaker 3: Yes, the son of CC Sabathia.
35:55
Speaker 4: He's an outfielder and really really cool that they were
35:59
Speaker 4: able to get him with their final draft pick yesterday. Now,
36:01
Speaker 4: a couple of roster moves, I mean a slew of
36:03
Speaker 4: roster moves over the weekend. Kyle Harrison placed on the
36:06
Speaker 4: fifteen day IL and then of course Jacob.
36:08
Speaker 3: As rowskiin they didn't use a roster move on him,
36:10
Speaker 3: but of course he was scratched with some fatigue and
36:13
Speaker 3: just body not feeling right. Did not go.
36:16
Speaker 4: Yesterday supposed to be that Miz Skemes matchup that unfortunately
36:19
Speaker 4: it didn't happen. Also, Brayden Shoemake, an infielder, acquired from
36:23
Speaker 4: the Houston Astros. He left the game early yesterday, so
36:25
Speaker 4: we'll see how he fits into things after the All
36:27
Speaker 4: Star break.
36:28
Speaker 3: But they defade Greg.
36:30
Speaker 4: Jones in the corresponding move, and then Brandon Woodruff transferred
36:34
Speaker 4: to the sixty day IL, making him ineligible to pitch
36:36
Speaker 4: till at least September fifth. We will hear more when
36:39
Speaker 4: the Brewers return to action coming up this weekend against
36:41
Speaker 4: the Marlins as to what the next steps are for him.
36:43
Speaker 4: They're still awaiting that. After Woodruff met with doctor Keith Meister,
36:47
Speaker 4: who did his surgery back in September of twenty twenty three.
36:50
Speaker 3: I'll join you guys at.
36:51
Speaker 4: Seven twenty five to talk more about the crew. This
36:53
Speaker 4: report brought to you by the Import Minded, your trusted
36:55
Speaker 4: choice for exceptional vehicle care on Sound twenty seventh, just
36:57
Speaker 4: north of eight ninety four.
36:58
Speaker 3: Back to you guys.
37:00
Speaker 2: Thank you, Hunter B. Always appreciate it, even when the
37:03
Speaker 2: news isn't great.
37:04
Speaker 5: Mmm uh shrew make My man did not have a
37:09
Speaker 5: tremendous debut with the crew yesterday that although I think
37:13
Speaker 5: the best thing that happened to him yesterday was not
37:16
Speaker 5: snapping out of his ankle. I mean when that dude
37:19
Speaker 5: slid over the bag and slid right through uh his
37:23
Speaker 5: right foot, Drew. I thought he was gonna be one
37:25
Speaker 5: and done. I thought he was gonna have one plate
37:27
Speaker 5: appearance with it was about.
37:29
Speaker 2: For him and like they just got him and whatever
37:32
Speaker 2: they gave up, like cash considerations, which was like okay,
37:35
Speaker 2: But then I thought, well, like he's gonna go and
37:38
Speaker 2: now he's gonna be on their aisle and suck up
37:40
Speaker 2: big league money and get service time for Yeah, He's like,
37:43
Speaker 2: this could be one plate appearance, could be worse big
37:46
Speaker 2: league deal.
37:48
Speaker 5: He would have lasted longer than Connor did at that moment.
37:51
Speaker 5: He would have three innings at that point. Yeah, one
37:55
Speaker 5: of these years cash considerations is gonna have a big deal.
37:57
Speaker 2: Like, one of these years he's gonna have a big year.
37:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, huge continues to just get thrown around, like unfortunately,
38:04
Speaker 5: at some point, at some point, he's gonna he's gonna
38:06
Speaker 5: pop for the Woodrooff. News that Hunter said in there
38:12
Speaker 5: not at the least bit surprising, but hey, at least
38:15
Speaker 5: there's a little glimmer of hope, right, I little glimmer
38:17
Speaker 5: of hope there. September fifth doesn't sound good at all,
38:21
Speaker 5: but at at the best case scenario, he could still
38:25
Speaker 5: be there for the stretch run. Hopefully we get some
38:28
Speaker 5: kind of positive news that he hasn't already gone under
38:30
Speaker 5: the knife, or they don't already have something scheduled. Yeah,
38:33
Speaker 5: when we hear from them coming up on Friday at
38:35
Speaker 5: the ballpark, yep.
38:36
Speaker 2: From the seven to one to five. The thing with
38:38
Speaker 2: this series is else could have been taken before with
38:41
Speaker 2: another win, is that they crap their pants by not
38:44
Speaker 2: etching themselves in MLB's history book. Could have been one
38:46
Speaker 2: of only twenty one teams ever in history to have
38:49
Speaker 2: sixty wins by the All Star break came up one
38:51
Speaker 2: short and typical Brewers fashion, disappointing Lackluster's stagnant, mediocre effort
38:55
Speaker 2: yesterday today they had their suitcases packed already.
38:58
Speaker 6: I've been surprised there's only twenty teams have done that
39:01
Speaker 6: or twenty one.
39:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, but isn't it kind of diminished when, like you
39:04
Speaker 2: played ninety some games before, you.
39:06
Speaker 5: Play so many different in their their moving the calendar
39:09
Speaker 5: so much earlier on that.
39:10
Speaker 2: Probably, Yeah, that's one of those. Uh, I don't think.
39:14
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the club anybody knew existence. So
39:16
Speaker 2: what is why is there such a strong poll to
39:18
Speaker 2: be in it. Nobody was keeping that ledger. No. To me,
39:21
Speaker 2: it's like that's I got ripped because I I dumped
39:25
Speaker 2: on that whole thing a couple of years ago. And
39:27
Speaker 2: the only team not to lose four games in a row,
39:29
Speaker 2: what does that mean? Nothing? It's good indicator.
39:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, this means that they, Yeah, the best start a lot.
39:37
Speaker 2: You don't lose games. I mean, but I mean it's
39:40
Speaker 2: it's you don't put banners up for it. Somebody. You
39:42
Speaker 2: can win one hundred games and lose six or seven
39:44
Speaker 2: in a row. That doesn't matter. It doesn't really matter, right,
39:47
Speaker 2: it didn't. You're just it's a good People took that
39:50
Speaker 2: like it was, but it wasn't meaningful or predictive. It's
39:52
Speaker 2: just one of those quirks that happens in baseball because
39:55
Speaker 2: we look at a lot of.
39:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I also think that it does show
39:58
Speaker 5: that you don't necessarily go on extended streaks. Like what
40:01
Speaker 5: does it say about the Cubs that they've had ten
40:02
Speaker 5: game losing streaks and winning streaks? You don't think any
40:04
Speaker 5: of that matters then, Like they went not particularly well.
40:07
Speaker 5: It just means that they run hot and cold. Sure,
40:09
Speaker 5: but then that would be predictive. Yeah, I mean that
40:11
Speaker 5: that would be one sign of it, that you don't
40:13
Speaker 5: run hot and cold. That would be some kind of
40:15
Speaker 5: an answer to it.
40:15
Speaker 2: But this one is, uh, it's a good you could
40:18
Speaker 2: go a whole season not lose four in a row
40:20
Speaker 2: and be below five hundred.
40:21
Speaker 5: Team sure, but but again you're not streaky that Again
40:24
Speaker 5: I'm answering what you're asking, what does it tell you?
40:26
Speaker 5: It does tell you something, but yeah, I mean it's
40:29
Speaker 5: clear that it tells you something, but it's also guaranteed
40:32
Speaker 5: if anything.
40:33
Speaker 2: Else does sports. And then again, like they didn't lose
40:38
Speaker 2: four and row all season, then they had at this
40:39
Speaker 2: point in the playoffs, and then the next year they
40:41
Speaker 2: opened up by losing their first four right in the
40:43
Speaker 2: one ninety seven games. Yes, that's true. So they're like, oh,
40:47
Speaker 2: that was a great stat but it did.
40:49
Speaker 5: But it was again predictive because they were like the
40:52
Speaker 5: streakiest they've been in how many years? Because they had
40:54
Speaker 5: thirteen game winning streaks, they had streak a bunch of
40:57
Speaker 5: four game losing streaks, five game losing streaks at the beginning.
40:59
Speaker 5: So it tells you what kind of character you have
41:02
Speaker 5: of the team. I don't know that there was anything
41:05
Speaker 5: too disappointing about the effort yesterday other than giving up
41:07
Speaker 5: ten runs in one inning and my man Grant Anderson
41:10
Speaker 5: not being able.
41:10
Speaker 2: To pull you out. The ten run inning was something
41:13
Speaker 2: that ends up happening, all right. I wonder what's up
41:16
Speaker 2: with Jared Kaning. He's trying to figure stuff out put
41:19
Speaker 2: like he's been getting lathered.
41:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, and maybe it maybe now makes more sense as
41:24
Speaker 5: to why he had twelve appearances in that rehab scent. Yeah,
41:28
Speaker 5: because he wasn't finding it, find anything possible, and they
41:33
Speaker 5: threw him so much last year that you got to
41:35
Speaker 5: anticipate there, got to think they're paying some kind of
41:37
Speaker 5: big tax for seven run.
41:38
Speaker 2: Out there because he's well and he's and then then
41:42
Speaker 2: the cautionary tales what's going on with Ashby? Because they
41:46
Speaker 2: use Ashby every day? He's the new Jared Kting, Yeah,
41:49
Speaker 2: the guy that they use every day.
41:50
Speaker 5: And if you look at the numbers of Ashby, it's
41:53
Speaker 5: a little bit more extended of a time that he
41:55
Speaker 5: hasn't been able to find his best stuff than just
41:58
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks.
41:59
Speaker 6: Right, it did, but it did help you, you know,
42:00
Speaker 6: all these things didn't help you get a bunch of wins.
42:02
Speaker 2: So that's the tough part.
42:03
Speaker 6: It's like they used them a lot because it worked
42:05
Speaker 6: and and therefore you you have to navigate now the
42:07
Speaker 6: next part of it. But you're right, all those things
42:09
Speaker 6: are true, and that's why the break was needed, and
42:11
Speaker 6: that's what everyone's going to reassess now, only come out
42:13
Speaker 6: of it. Yeah, but that tax, I mean, that's the
42:16
Speaker 6: Uel Pims tax or the Elvis Paguero tax. Like there
42:19
Speaker 6: were there are guys that played so pitched so well
42:21
Speaker 6: for the Bruis. I think of Cameron Low for a
42:24
Speaker 6: stretch and then it just seemed like that was Big Cayeah.
42:28
Speaker 6: First one so good until it wasn't and then once
42:31
Speaker 6: they fell off the clip because you use them.
42:33
Speaker 2: That obviously is part of it what happens with that.
42:36
Speaker 2: But it's like me on the golf course.
42:38
Speaker 5: You only have so many good swings, you only have
42:40
Speaker 5: so many good curveballs. Let's not throw them all in
42:42
Speaker 5: one year, is what you're saying.
42:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I get that. It's tough.
42:46
Speaker 6: When a guy's pitching, well, you press that button, and
42:48
Speaker 6: when when he does stop pitching pitching, well, you say well,
42:51
Speaker 6: maybe I shouldn't press that button. It's like, well, you
42:53
Speaker 6: were trying to win the games, that weren't you that
42:54
Speaker 6: day you won? That was the point. So it's that,
42:58
Speaker 6: it's it's the difficulty of crossing a six month desert
43:00
Speaker 6: of a season, right.
43:02
Speaker 2: We got some really good game balls and kicks to
43:04
Speaker 2: the balls, host it up. We want yours as well.
43:06
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven, seven ninety four one ninety seven three.
43:10
Speaker 2: To get you in, we'll fire up the game balls
43:12
Speaker 2: and kicks. Hunter joins us live at seven twenty. Dolphins
