• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Going through a Thursday, the first half of a double
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: header for us in the huddle.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we started at 5 a.m. 5 p.m. tonight, 5
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: to 7. The Thursday Night Huddle live from Pottawatomie Sportsbook
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: in the annex. Come and see us if you are available. Otherwise,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: listen on 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. Stream us if you'd like.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: But you are missing out if you don't go and
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: join the Thursday Night Huddle live and in person. Not
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: only because you can win with the phrase that pays.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: That's right. We have to select that. In fact, we
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: should do that right now. Oh, that's a good point.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: We probably should. What should we make? The phrase that pays. Armin,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: people are going to come up to you and ask
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: for gift cards. So what do you say?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm blanking when the lights are bright. I'm blanking here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I really wanted to do some kind
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: of fly the L, some kind of L for the offseason.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We can do fly the L. Fly the L.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: But is attempting any fate that you're about to find
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: yourself into.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: The same fate that they did?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: We can celebrate their loss while acknowledging it's going to
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: be a tough matchup.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Or else why are we doing this thing? We can't
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: have fun with the victories we get in sports. Like
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Drew always says, it's about getting kicked in the nuts.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: 90% of it. I don't get kicked in the nuts.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I want to at least enjoy it. We might get
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: kicked in the nuts next week, so let's... I say
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: let's do fly the L.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Fly the L.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Boom, there it is.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The phase that pays is fly the L. If you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: come up to the table tonight and say fly the L,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we're going to hand you a gift card while supplies last.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It'll be awesome.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Your point, though, Billy, is true. I mean, this is
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: going to be a very, very tough matchup. It's going
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: to be, I think, a long, hard series. Because the
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: idea that you will have to, you know, if this
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: series was a sweeper, a four-gamer the way you want,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: you'd have to win that game in San Diego. It
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: looks very tough to win there, obviously, with that lineup,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: with that crowd, with that energy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's going to be tough.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Miz and Logan Henderson aren't Matthew Boyd and a compromised
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Kevin Gosman.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Amen to that. Amen to that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We're not starting an older guy with a shoulder issue
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: here in game two with the season on the line.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's for sure.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And there's more than one way to do it. The
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: White Sox win 2-0. Kudos to them. 300 lost seasons
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: in a row, which is the epitome. You can't get
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: much lower than that. It's hard to lose 100 games,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: much less do it three years in a row. Did
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: they set the loss record in one of those years, too? Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: they might have.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Now they've got the papal blessing. You just got to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: give them credit. Because the Pope is a White Sox fan.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Gave them the papal blessing. And Will Venable gets some credit. Venable,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: didn't they?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: They went to game one and had basically a bullpen day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they saved their guy Burke yesterday. He was like, listen, guys,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: this is my life. I don't have a girl. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: don't have kids. All I care about is baseball. So
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: this is my life. I would want that guy having
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the ball in game one.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But you're right. I held that until game two.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love that. That is great energy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: This guy's like, I remember in the finals against, I
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: think it was against the... when the Mavericks and the
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Heat played, when Chris Bosh said, I'm not doing anything
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: for two weeks. I'm not leaving my house. I'm not
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: looking at anything except going to the arena and coming back.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: My whole life is basketball. This guy's saying my whole life,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I don't have anything else but baseball. You've got to
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: love that energy. White Sox are a great story, man.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: And I love it because it annoys Cubs fans even more.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Not that their season just ended, but that the Sox
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: are still playing. And that's something they never want to
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: have happen. You think the Brewers are a rival? They
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: never wanted the Sox to be able to have any
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: sort of success there when you're a Cubs fan. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: with that line, the enemy of your enemy is your friend,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: that makes me a big Sox fan, which is a
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: full 180 from how I felt 30 years ago. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: that makes me wonder if that ever happens in any
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: other situation in sports where all of a sudden you
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: can live and a rival becomes the team you're cheering for.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Because the Sox used to be our rival when I
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: came to Chicago. It was never the Cubs. I used
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: to detest them in the 90s. And now I'm sitting
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: here cheering for them because they pissing.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Off Cubs fans. Brewers are a slight favorite. Over the Padres? Yes, yes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Big favorite in game one, rightfully so, with Miz on
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the mound. But for the series overall, slight favorite. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: saw a couple of people wondering, Drew, what the series
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: line would be hopefully for the NLCS, if it's Brewers
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and Dodgers and thinking that it might be a little different. No,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it's going to be, the Dodgers will be the betting
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: favorite prohibitively. Like there'll be a significant favorite. This one though,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: you do wonder if it'll start moving because last impression,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that last taste in your mouth with the San Diego
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Padres is going to be tough to bet against.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I think for the national folks.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I think definitely, I think that's going to be a
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: big factor, how hot they've been. So I haven't seen
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the series market yet at Pottawatomie's.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: White Sox would be a heck of a case study, Drew,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: for the old you win one series and I'll suck
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: for 10 years after.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Because that was their first playoff series win since they
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: won the title in 05.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And they're two years removed from the white flag of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: trading Garrett Crochet. And then boom.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And Garrett Crochet comes in last night, the night that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: they win the playoff series, and I don't believe records
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: an out, right? He came in and was right there
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in the beginning of that runaway part for the Yankees
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: The core that Tim Anderson, that core they were supposed
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: to have that totally collapsed two or three years ago,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: and they thought it was going.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: To be a huge... Moncada in there. Yes, yes. They
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a huge rebuild, which,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: It's been obviously a few years of losing for them,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: but they've gotten this thing together, and it just shows
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you what you can do these days in baseball without
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: having a great, great team. I mean, if the situation's right,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: wild cards, divisions, you can win 85 games.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And get in the playoffs.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You look at the Padres series, and you're like, well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: they're hot. Well, yeah, they were hot in September.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The Brewers have been.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Hot all year.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: All year. Been good all year. You look at it
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and like, well, look at their home field. Look at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: how rocking that place is, how loud it is. It's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a tough environment.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And it is.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It looks like the party you want to be at.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: It's like the waste management classic of baseball right now.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like an NBA arena outdoors.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Massive.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: But who was the best home team during the 162-game
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: championship season? Who scored the most runs per home game?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Your Milwaukee Brewers.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Come on, man.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's what I'm talking about. So they're comfortable at
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: home as well. So Padres are on a roll, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the Brewers have been on a roll all year.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the other thing is for the home crowd, Drew,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is going to be quantifiable
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: or if it's accurate at all, but last year there
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: were so many Brewers fans that were going into the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: home games in the NLDS for my money, almost as
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: worried about the Cub fans as they would have been
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: about the actual game that was happening on the field, right?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Like how, what's the split in the crowd going to be?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: What is the split in the crowd going to be?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of folks flying in here from San
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Diego to watch the games on Saturday.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't even look to see what the secondary market
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: prices did when the Cubs took a, It probably started
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: dropping when the.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Cubs lost game one. I didn't even think about that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Check that out.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But this is not going to be one where there's
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: any worry if it's 80-20 or 70-30 or how many
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of their fans are going to be in there. What
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: is the atmosphere going to be? It's going to be
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: all Brewers fans. So go in there and get your
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: freak on and have some fun. Yeah, that whole storyline
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: is not a factor anymore.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And again, Brewers lack of power. Well, you know, hey,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: home runs play in the playoffs. Well, so do hits.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Cubs didn't get any of either, really, in their two
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: games against San Diego. But the Brewers were second in
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the majors in runs. And only five teams, I think,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: have three starters who had the Armand's favorite OPS over 800.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Bowers, Churrio, and Terang.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why I can't sit Bowers for these.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know some people have thought about different
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: things in platoons and Desvaughn.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: We have options. Last year in the NLCS, in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: four games, the Dodgers out-homered the Brewers 6-1. But they
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: also just... They also had one guy hit three in
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a game and strike out 10 dudes.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Well, that was the irony until Game 4, is that
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers were not blowing the Brewers out in those games.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was just that the pitching was so dominant.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe not blowing them out, just suffocating them. Suffocating, bow constricting.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It felt like that from the pitching performances, for sure,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: but it wasn't like they were throwing up crazy amounts
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: of runs.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It was last year that Miz kind of emerged in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, and he wasn't starting, and now he's starting.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And you hate to say it, because like I said before,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it's not exactly profound to say the worst you can
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: do is a split in these first two games, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: then you lose home field, but you just, you know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Take your chances.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But is there more pressure to win both? There's more
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: pressure to win game one. Yeah, I would say that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Because if you don't win with Miz on the mound.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: That's when you get worried.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And then if it rolls around and you try to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: start him in a game five, right, that would be.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a tough scene.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, winning game one, if you're going to go one-on-one,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it behooves you to win game. Because put it this way,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: if the Padres win game one and Miz doesn't, The
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Brewers don't win when Miz pitches. And anything can happen.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Like Murph pointed out the other day, there's no ghost runner,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: so you might have a 13-14 inning game.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Could have a very long one, yes. You have to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: lengthen the pitching staff.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But if you lose game one, then your task becomes
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you've got to win three out of four against the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Padres without Miz.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Without Miz.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: And I heard some people talking about it in terms
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: of the three-game series, Drew, that you'll have one genius, nerds,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: tell you that the analytics would actually say, you should
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: actually start your best starter probably game two. If your
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: backs are against the wall, then you'd have a better chance.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: No, I need to get one win.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I need to get one win and get one into
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: the bag.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He's ready to go. He's rested. And that's what happened.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Like I've said it a gajillion times, the Brewers, the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: way it lined up when the Brewers faced the Dodgers,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they had their pitching all lined up and the Dodgers
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: had their best four games of the year in that series.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: They peaked. Then they struggled. That's what I mean, yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: They almost lost the damn World Series, but they won it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But To get there, they had their best four games.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So when will the Brewers' best four games be? This
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: year's will be the next round. The rest versus rust.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Like we said, there was no rest versus rust last year.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: They won the first two games. They had six runs
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: in their first inning. They had three consecutive doubles to
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: start the playoff.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a problem.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: 3-1 was a.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: a Padres victory at AmFam. The one time Miz faced
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the Padres. here in 2026. That was that game that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the Brewers felt like they had won. Won nothing going
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: into the bottom of the ninth, and that was when
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Uribe filled his socks. It was in the middle portion
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: of the early two months where McGill wasn't great, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they handed it to Uribe,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and then he got to let them. Back to McGill,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: and there was a little bit of a rotation in
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the back end. Miz was good, though. He struck out
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: 10 across seven shutout innings, but a Two guys on
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: in the ninth inning, and all of a sudden, Sheets
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: hits a three-run shot, and the home folks are walking
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: out sad.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Sheets hit the home run yesterday, too.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Right, I was going to say. Don't wear Ben Sheets' jersey. Man,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: they're chanting, holy Sheets. What a genius chant. That is
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: pretty brilliant. What a genius call there for Padres fans.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: But it just shows, I mean, that was a playoff game.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: It's going to be very, very similar in this one.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Hit us up with your thoughts.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Nicolay Law.com. Talk to you next time.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Armand.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: No, we're good.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Jay Andrews on Twitter said there's nothing to worry about,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: so I feel better now.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, on YouTube. He mentioned on YouTube there's nothing
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: to worry about. I mean, I guess it's that easy,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: so I feel pretty good about that. Do you think
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: the Brewers are going to be prepared here now to
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: try and push Miz deeper if they have to or
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: a little further?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: A lot's been made about, I think of this in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: two ways.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: A lot's been made about the fact that he hasn't
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: pitched as many innings as some starters do over the
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: course of a long Cy Young campaign.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: He's only pitched 170 innings.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Not 220.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: So are they more prepared to push him further if
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: they have to, to put the pedal down?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think they might be, yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Or is it a situation, though, where he also throws
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: harder than everybody else in the world? So he's already
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: had the strength.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Well, he's also 24.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: That's another factor. I mean, there's an innings buildup here
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: that I think kind of gets lost in that part
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: of the conversation going up against what? Sanchez had the 220? Sanchez, right.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And I think Sale was up there, too. I don't remember.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Six, six innings of Ms. Uh, is better than six
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and two thirds of most. So like, I'll be fine
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't give you an extra two outs and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I have to give it to Ashby, your rebate and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: McGill there in the backend. The thing for Ms. Though, Drew, you,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: you pointed out last year there was, I mean, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: remember doing the, having the conversation of like, How do
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: you use him?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You're going to use him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: It's not like he's not going to be on the roster,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: but you don't necessarily know if you want him.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: To be in a big spot.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he driving a little bit down Kyle Harrison Avenue
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: going into the playoffs? He lost his starting spot, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: then it was like, okay, we're going to try to plump,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: see how he does, and then he found it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: In a situation where I think it's like, this guy's
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: been bumpy, the road's been bumpy for him, but his
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: arm is so live, you're not going to not try
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: and use him somewhere.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the Kyle Harrison dilemma right now. Yeah,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: he was rocky, but... I mean, he had a box
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it and Ms was electric in the playoffs.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: He was amazing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: He had the, was it game two or game five
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: when he ran off a fielding the ground ball and
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: stepped on first base and gave the scream into the
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: crowd fired up.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: He also did get a, get it out of the way.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: So this is going to be one that, if indeed,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Fernando Tatis hits the first ball that Miz throws onto
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Bernie's slide. Just know that has happened before. Suzuki, I think,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: hit that one into orbit last year in the second inning.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: And then quick, then he was nails. So somebody is,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, with those kind of power bats, somebody's going
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: to time up a 102-mile-an-hour fastball.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: But as long as the walks are down, I'm feeling very,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: very okay. You worry about the Merrill, Machado, and Tatis
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: law firm And then in the playoff series, it's guys
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: like Xander Bogarts that you've got to hold down. Guys
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like that. So with the Brewers, it's like, well, you've
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: got to worry about Churrio. And people will say Yelich, Contreras, right?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And then it's like the Bowers, right? But then Terang.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But Ortiz.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: You need somebody to step up that. You don't expect
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Mitchell or somebody.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Come on down.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Sheets hits the pinch hit home run last night. That
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: could very much be Andrew Vaughn's role, right? Like, I mean,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: you mentioned it that you want Bowers in there every
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: single day. I don't know how they're going to maneuver
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: those at bats around, but when there is a left-handed
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: pitcher on the bump, you best better believe Andrew Vaughn's
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: going to be ready to roll, and you're going to
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: need one to two of those big swings. That's why,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: as you're watching the Cubs series last year, felt like
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: it might be magical, because you were getting that from Vaughn,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: who might have been one of the under-expected guys to
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: do that. Obviously, he was great throughout the season after
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: he came over in the middle of June, but to
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: have those kind of homers that you saw a year
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: ago might not be able to count on it. That
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: game that I was talking about, that 3-1 game, I'm
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: at the duality of the, of the game. The Padres
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: had one hit with runners in scoring position. It was
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the important one. The Gavin sheets, three run shot. They
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: were one of two with runners in scoring position. Didn't
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: get anybody on base. Only left four on brewers. 11,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: nine on base in that game. One for 10 with
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: runners in scoring position. And that drew was right in
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: that time where you're like, wow, this team stinks. When
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the pressure's on, they can't hit with runners in scoring position.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: How are they going to do this throughout the year?
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: they were 23 and 17 at that time. I think
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: they figured it out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You get that many guys on base in the playoffs,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I'll feel good about being able to.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Get one into a gap. Yep, pretty much. Keep them coming.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973. If you're watching the other side of the bracket, yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the White Sox are easy to root for because of
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: their turnaround. Yankees stomped the Red Sox. That Yankees race
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: series is going to be really, really good. That is
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: going to be a knockdown drag out. That's the LCS probably.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It's going to feel like the LCS.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And the Yankees have looked good and You know, for
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: all the reputation they always get about the payroll and
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: things like that, you know, it's the homegrown talent for
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the Yankees that's gotten it done for them. I mean,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: when you look at the guys that have played really
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: well for them and Schlittler and.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Rice and these guys.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, White Sox Guardians were battling all year in
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the division, but that doesn't have enough. That doesn't have
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the juice of Yankees race.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't have the same juice. But I do
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: think this series is great. A good one to have
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: opposite of it, Drew, because I heard some people trying
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to cry for the Red Sox. How unfair is it
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: that they had to play the Yankees in this one?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Well, tough nuts.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Tough nuts. Don't finish third in the division.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and Drew, what was it? Don't be 14 games under.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: 500 in the middle of the year.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's kind of the penance you pay.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: They only finished, what, two games ahead of Cleveland when
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: all was told after 162 games. I think that's going
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: to be a great series, and I always enjoy cheering
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for Stephen Vogt-led teams, so I'll have my eye on
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: that one for sure. But that AL Comedy Central, 85 wins,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: won it, and now they're going to have somebody in
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the ALCS.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers, it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Helps them that this series is going three with a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: winner-take-all tonight in Atlanta, Braves-Phillies, but that's not an easy
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: draw for the Dodgers. They're going to get tested. Oh,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: one of those two teams. Didn't last year the Dodgers
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: play like they breezed through Colorado and roughed them around,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: didn't they?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: They got Cincinnati in the three-gamer.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I'm in Cincinnati, yeah. And then they had Philadelphia, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they just dog-walked the Phillies a year ago. But that
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati thing was a layup. They treated Cincinnati last year
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the way, I remember it being the way that the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Padres treated the Cubs. It was light work.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was light work.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: They never trailed, and it was light work. Yeah, so Dodgers, Phillies, Braves,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and then Brewers, Pods. It's careening towards a rematch of Brewers, Dodgers.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: And I just think it would be delicious if the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Brewers win their first World Series by beating the Dodgers
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and then the Yankees.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be great?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And then we go into a winter where everybody says
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: small markets can't compete against big markets.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It'll be right there in line. It'll be glorious. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: would love that. I'll be there for the Braves. That'll
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: be the backdrop.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: And you have to trip off... Knock off the $ 3. 9
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: billion sold team in the San Diego Padres on the
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: way in. Like you said, the wannabe small market squad. Yeah,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: they spent money too. Small market stolen valor. You're not
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a small market in San Diego. Not when you're valued
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: They're the guy down the street you forget what he's
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: got because he's not showing you all the time.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: John Kurzawa, were the Padres that good or the Cubs
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that bad? I'll say yes. Both are true. I don't know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: When your two main bats go 0 for 15 in
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: two games.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, that bad in two games.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: That bad in two games.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: If Churio and Contreras go 0 for 15 in two games,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I like the Brewers' chances of
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: being 500 going into San Diego for game three.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I remember the year that Betts and Freddie Freeman did that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: That's exactly the reminder.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: And then it was like, they can't do it in
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Then they won World Series after that. That's
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: what happens.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Um, and again, okay. So, uh, 103, the one division,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: what does it matter? Well, it matters that they didn't
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: have to go play a three game series and risk
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: losing game one because, and look what we just saw
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: three of the four teams that, that one game one
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: didn't have to see a game three.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: That's how it goes in this thing, dude.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit less, uh, emphasized in a five gamer,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: but for the Brewers game one with Ms. To me,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: he's like, you gotta win that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: That is the must win.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: You got to win because I don't know.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I like the Brewers.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe I would say the Brewers 65% to win the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: series in my sports book.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: But if Miz loses game one, that goes down to like. 45.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I was going to.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Say, Miz loses game one. If I'm sitting at 65,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: that flips to me, like 65 on the other side.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: As you said, you've got to win three out of
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: four without that guy.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tall order.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Daunting.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Not impossible, but winning game one and holding serve at
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: home in game one, huge. And then all the pressure's
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: on San Diego going into game two with Henderson. Boom,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: take your chances. All right, when we come back, he's
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a Bears fan, he's a Yankees fan, he's a Hawkeyes fan.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: As Dobie told him yesterday, it's time for Scott Dolphin
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to buy a lottery ticket.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It's his time.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: No kidding. He's going to join us next year in
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond reunited. It
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: feels so good. Thursday morning edition of the huddle. The
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Thursday night huddle live at Pottawatomie tonight, 5 o'clock. The
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: phrase that pays is fly the L. Oh, beautiful table.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Say fly the L you get a $ 10 gift card.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Here's the guy who hasn't been experiencing many L's lately.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Our pal Scott Dolphin from the country station on the
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: hall FM one Oh six. And Dolph is a fan
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of the Iowa Hawkeyes beating Michigan hosting game day Saturday,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the New York Yankees steamrolling their hated rival. House money
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: now as they go to Tampa, and he's a fan
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: of the Chicago Bears. Bear down, who thumped Philadelphia. That's
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: a good life to live.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: And the Milwaukee Brewers, so I'm hoping for a quadruple
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: sweep here starting Saturday.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: It very well could happen, so golf is in the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: mix for that. Saturday is very good for you on
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: the viewing side, right? The timing is going to work
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: out for 7.30 first pitch. For the Brewers, 230 Hawks
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: win over Ohio State, upset of 14.5 points.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: The only problem is I'm going to the Brewers game,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: so I'm going to have to take my phone and
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: watch the Hawks for the most part on it because
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: we'll be tailgating as soon as they let us in
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: the lots.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Okay.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: So you'll be a little, you know, it's supposed to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: be a nice day Saturday.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: It is supposed to be beautiful. What, low 60s and sunshine? Sunshine.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: That seems like, Dolph, the day that you should be
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: taking the kitchen TV and putting that thing in the
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: back of the, in the bed of the truck.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I like the idea.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Like a generator from our friends.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Fire up the call current electric generator. Or some of
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: these things have, some of these new trucks have, I mean, honestly,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: full voltage plugs.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: So we've got a Bronco, which has, I don't know
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: how many different outlets in it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: That's basically a generator that you're driving around. Allow me
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to take that to the ballpark, though.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Those Broncos are nice, man. They're super nice. But the
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: problem is, my wife, man, we park in the corner
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: of every park. It far reaches remote locations. Parking space
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: you can find in any major parking lot.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Always with a new car.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And this car, though, is over a year. It's like
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a year and a half old. But it doesn't matter.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: She wants to keep that thing as scratch-free and ding-free
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: as possible.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Is that the Sport or the big one? No, we
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: got the big one. That makes you feel tough. We
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: got the big one. We bought it. $ 1, right, for me, right?
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: That'd be tough, right?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: So we bought it almost nine months after the kids.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: It's 2025, so we got a better deal on it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah, they're fun. They're big. They're not fun
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to fill up right now, I can tell you that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. Emotional damage, right? I mean, that's bad.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I'm only allowed to drive it to the car wash
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: and the gas station.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Everything else is out of your purview. Those are the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: important places for us. You don't go off-roading on it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: You don't take it up to the end.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: You can find me in my 2017 manual transmission Jeep Wrangler.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I had a buddy that was really into that type
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: of vehicle, right? I remember when we were in high school,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: the Hummer came out, and he's like, this is my
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: dream car. I want the Hummer, like the original. I'm like, Like.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: The one LeBron was posing with on SI. Yeah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: And he's like, you know, living in urban environments.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, what are you going to do? Park
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: that in a parking garage? Like, I'm like, you don't go, uh,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: you are not living out on the ranch. Like you're
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: not going ranching and off-roading, but it's just, I know
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: that we love those cars.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: That's type of cars in America.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: They're fun.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, they look better.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: So Dolph is not a front runner. He's a brewer's guy.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: He goes to like, you go to regular games, high, uh,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: fashion games. Well, Ben, I mentioned yesterday that because the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Cubs are gone and the Padres aren't expected to travel
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: heavily into Milwaukee. Ben from the University of Arrowhead. Good morning, gentlemen.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I just did a quick look at the secondary ticket market.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Right now, it appears ticket prices for game one are
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: down by an average of $ 185 per ticket on the
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: field level. Whoa.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: So $ 185 field level tickets. That's not terrible, right? That's
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: how much they're down. I think that's how much they're down.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I think they're still probably sitting around $ 200- ish. But yeah,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: they had ballooned there for a while. Yeah, and I'm
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: sure the Hope, if you're a scalper, you wanted to
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: see the Cubs, obviously. But now it's San Diego, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: it's good for the Brewers. It's still going to be electric.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: The crowd's going to be earth shattering, ear shattering loud
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: on Saturday night. And I can't wait to be there
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: for it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I did lay the groundwork already with, with the, with
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: the wife of like, maybe now with the seven 30 game,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: because I mean, 1130 kickoff for Bucky, I'm homecoming.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: And then a very celebratory postgame show to dominate Pat
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Fitzgerald and the Michigan state Spartans head into the bi-week.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I'm probably back by about 6.30.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: It feels like the perfect time to still be able
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: to make it out there.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I think so, Billy.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: But I have to punt on bedtime. So I did
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: have to lay the groundwork to then be able to.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: just right off of 94.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Why not? We've right there.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Stop quickly at Potawatomi Brewers, Brewers score first and win,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: and then.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Pay for the ticket that way. Canal streets right there.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Now you float the travel in first. You had to
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: float it out there. And the way I've done it,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Billy strategy wise is I thought maybe I can throw
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: out something I can do for her first. couch it
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: that way and be like, you know, I was thinking so, so,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: and so I could get all these things done.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, and then, and then start the conversation.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, I'm working out.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: It's a long day by you, Armin.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Holy cow.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: I can tell you I've done that and it has
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: backfired though. I remember getting two speeding tickets within a month.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't say anything.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: I didn't say anything until Christmas morning when my wife
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: opened her favorite present. And then I laid it on
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: her that I had done. I'll tell you what, it
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: softened the blow quite a bit. Yeah, but you ruined
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: her moment for the Christmas.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: That was 25 years.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: She brings that up every year at Christmas time, that story,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: how I dropped the two speeding ticket story on her
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: when she was opening her favorite present.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: And those are the things you think about.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Like, I mean, obviously Saturday's game one, but you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Laura and I have our anniversary situation.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: So, you know, you want to make sure you don't
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: totally step in it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: You know, because there's some concrete, if you step on it,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: it hardens and it doesn't change, you know, like that.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: There's some things you can't repair.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Hey, Billy knows it comes with that. You guys all
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: know this. It comes with having a family. There's certain
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: sports sacrifices you will make in your lifetime.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: You get the day off during the week, though, Billy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: No, that was, you know, I mean, it's all negotiation. Yeah,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: we'll find some ways. Brian Bush told me once, it's
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: all battlefield, Armand.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It's all battlefield.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: People these days, everybody's capable of multitasking. And on Sunday,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that'll mean listening to Packers OT while you're watching the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Brewers game.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, come on. That's going to be the best way
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to hang out.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Packers OT, you know, through the beginning portions of the
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Brewers game.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be listening to that broadcast. That's
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: going to give you way too much consternation. The best
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: way to calm your Brewer fan's soul is listening to
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: us on Packers OT.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Hopefully talking about a victory because they're facing Jalen Daniels,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Lance Leipold's quarterback out of Kansas.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: If you can't win this game. It's going to get long.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: In this game, you've got bigger problems than just the
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: offensive line.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: He's a nice player, but that's a tall task to ask.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: You've got an undrafted rookie free agent.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I think the Packers, I would like them even if
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Baker was playing.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Think?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I, and I don't know if it's a tough
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: place to play. It's hot, right?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Like 90 degrees with humidity.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: It's hot.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: That's the toughest thing about it. Raymond James is not a,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: a difficult place to go and play, but the heat
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: is going to be one thing that you got to
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: deal with. The heat in your own house is tough
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: enough to deal with. They, have to be able to
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: try to establish some kind of ground game. And I
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: wonder if that's a little bit more of the Hawkeye
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Caleb Johnson, who's got a little bit of pop. You
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: got to hold on to the football, but he's got
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit of pop. And at least he's got
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: a little bit of vision North and South, because I mean,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the way the bears are playing right now, they can
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: line anybody up at quarterback and run because they've got
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: a system and they got an identity.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Packers got to find their identity.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: And you would hope that they would be able to
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: get a running game against this team. I mean, Tampa
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Bay just seems even more, lost than green bay right
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: now it's it's just watching them it's like what happened
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: to this once proud team that baker mayfield took to
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: the playoffs what.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah how many times.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: They might you'd say they're desperate for a win but
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: so are the packers so it's a weird situation it's
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: and with mayfield.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: What is it he 56 57 straight starts before getting
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: hurt it was it was a hell of a run.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: It's been a long time yes and i mean he
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: played that's one of the reasons why he's not in
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: cleveland Because he tore that labrum on his non-throwing shoulder
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: and played with it all year long. Came up here
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to Green Bay, gave up four Christmas gifts, INTs, on
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: the 25th. Just slid down the back of the dinosaur
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: in that final year there. And Stefanski's like, yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I'm done with this.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: We're not playing this anymore.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the best part about his career with the Browns
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: was the commercials he did where he actually lived at
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: the stadium.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Those are good.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: He's out there walking. They're so good. The progressive things, yeah. Progressive, yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Well, they used to call it, you know, before the
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Packers started really improving and getting good in the 90s,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Early 90s was just the bad pigs, right?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Drew, was this the joke about guys?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: NFC Central.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Because Tampa and Green Bay were both stinking up the joint.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: That was such an oddball. I always thought Dallas, that
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: was the oddball being in the NFC East. But when
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: the Buccaneers joined the NFC Central, that topped it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago, Green Bay, and Tampa.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: It was an automatic two wins for everybody every year.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, until they started getting good, right, in the late 90s.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: You know, the All-Star War.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: There's been so, obviously, there's been a lot of battles
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: between these, one in 2020 that we don't like to
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: think about. But I can't see the two helmets and
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: not think of Mike Sherman and Warren Sapp.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's the one.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: It's just instantly where my mind goes when I think
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: of Raymond James.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: He was about to, but I got to give Mike
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Sherman credit. He pointed right back at him. And we
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: know how dangerous points can be now.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I can't remember.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Did he, did he use the P word like Nick
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Sirianni did on Monday night football when he was pointing
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: at Warren?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: That's a John boy. I'd like to go back in
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: time type of thing. Like I was a John boy.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the word would be. Retribution to
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: go back and try and look at that, to try
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: and break that down. Cause we didn't get a full,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: we got like a half mic on that kind of
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: a pickup. It was a little bit, but I think Warren,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I think Mike's probably good that it didn't go that way.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that I would say in
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: that situation. The Nick Sirianni would.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Not have been one of them. That would not. have
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: been one of them.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: A lot of things you could say, and that would
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: have been something that would have been as far off
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: on the lexicon of Mike.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Sherman as possible.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I remember when he hit Clifton. That was the play
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: that pissed him off. Clifton was messed up for a
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: while after that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Did he play the rest of the year? I don't remember.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: He was pretty messed up. I got to meet him.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: We did a, years and years, we used to go
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: to Nashville for fanfare. Now it's called the CMA Music Festival.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: And he was a Nashville resident, Tennessee, University of Tennessee, right?
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Was Chad Clifton of all?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: So he was a neighbor of this record executive dude
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: out in a posh area of Franklin, Tennessee. And they
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: had Kip Moore doing a little pool party, playing in
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: his little swim shorts. And Chad Clifton strolled across the-
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: street and hung out with us for a while.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. That's awesome. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Now, that's what Nashville used to be. Now it's Franklin, Tennessee.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Now it's just the richest of the rich all over
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: the place.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Ritzy part of Nashville.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: You can't even just have somebody strumming a six-string sit
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: down in your swim shorts.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Used to live in a proper society.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: As our friend KB calls it, Nashville is Daytona with
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: a belt buckle now. It has completely changed.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. It has changed for the better
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I remember going down there early in my radio career,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: and you did not go down to Broadway, which is
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: now the famous part of Nashville, after dark.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You didn't do it. It was like Times Square in
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: New York at one point.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Until the 90s rolled around, once the Shania Garth stuff hit,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden you started seeing country
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: stars with restaurants and bars, and then.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden you get.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: The only thing that I don't like about Nashville is
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the day after. Like, that hangover flight, that hungover flight
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: home or drive home is brutal. Otherwise, while you're there,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: way too much fun. And the surge pricing.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Like, when the Titans are in town or, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: especially if they're playing a team like the Packers and
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: your Miller Lite goes from $ 5 to $ 12.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Or when Tobias Myers is pitching for the Sounds.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's fair. Yeah, that's going to blow the place
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: up a little bit.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that Nashville is still holding firm because it
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: feels like Austin. Is trying really hard to take over.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: That's a bucket list.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Have you been there, Drew?
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yes. I haven't been.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like it. I would love to go there sometime.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: That's a good spot.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: You were listening to, I mean, Miles Turner was telling
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: us at Bucks Media Day on Monday, Drew. He's one
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: of the reasons why he had all the boys down
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: to Austin. I was like, I had a bunch of
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: guys on the team that had never been. They never
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: went to Austin.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize that it was becoming like Vegas, Nashville,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: New York, Austin.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: For music lovers, there's always been that segment, the Texas
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: music scene, and.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Austin is obviously the- Sixth Street, that's where the university is.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: That's their state street. Austin City Limits.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: A lot of bars, music clubs.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Austin City Limits, one of my favorite shows.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Great show. It's been on for 50, 60 years. That's right.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: So you get that Texas sound, that Hill Country, Texas sound,
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: and a lot of people come out of that state,
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: and now they've got the South by Southwest thing.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Music festival that runs in March.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: It sounds like it just, but every time you go there,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: there's another wing of it that keeps getting built up.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: It keeps getting bigger and bigger.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because Austin, like 20 years ago, was like the
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: hidden gem type. Everyone wanted to go there, and then
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: it blew up. And then it was like, oh, keep
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Austin weird because so a lot of people.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Were moving there. Exactly, but now it's grown to where
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: it's choked its infrastructure. Too many people have moved there.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: The roads can't handle it. It's kind of a mess.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: It's fun, downtown and stuff, but living there would be
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: rougher than it would be. Well, it happened in Phoenix, too.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say Phoenix. Dallas-Fort Worth, I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: remember when that was still manageable. Now it's ridiculous. Cudahy, St. Francis,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: South Milwaukee, same thing. That corridor. That's right. Lane Avenue
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is just crazy when it gets backed up. Son of
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a gun.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: While you're still basking in the glow of all your
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: recent victories, do you know who's starting for your beloved
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Bears on Sunday, or does it matter? Playing the Jets.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: You have to play the hot hand. I don't think
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: there's a question. You don't go to Tyson Bajan at
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: this point. Love the kid. He's a great backup, but
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: you've got to go with the hot.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Hand with Case Keenum. But then why the mystery? Like yesterday,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson wouldn't declare. He's like, we know what direction
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: we're going, but why not just say it?
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: Because Ben thinks he's cool now and funny and smart.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: That's really the reason.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: That's what it is. As long as he keeps his
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: shirt on. It's what we see in sports. It's what
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: you saw the Padres saying last night. We have no
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: idea who we're starting in game one. We'll figure that out,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: and you know who you're starting in game one. Spray champagne,
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: and then we'll figure it out.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: He's got some real gamesmanship, got a lot of juice.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm with you, Dolph. There's no way I'm turning
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: away from Keenum after that.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know how you could. I mean, you're playing
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: the Jets at home. He's comfortable at Soldier Field after
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Monday night, obviously. Stick with the hot hand.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I would think. If he has a bad game, maybe
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: he can pull the switch.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Unless, as he said, he is 38. The body getting
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: back is going to be a little bit difficult.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: True.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: He might have to watch a little too much Bluey,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: it sounded like, on that post-game interview with Scott Van Pelt.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: So I immediately think the cold water to the ice tub.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: But what else in this modern technology? You guys are
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: on the Packers enough to know.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Do they have those infrared spas now that they get in?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Hyperbaric chambers.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: All of it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: All of it. Well, and the Theragun's nothing anymore. It
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: used to be that was the cutting edge. Now that's
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: everyone's Black Friday purchase. Exactly.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: The interesting one is the full leg sleeves. Like the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: stem leg sleeves would be the one that. Yeah, that
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: they're sitting around in. That feels very good. There is
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: the one where you realize like, well, I understand why
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: people sit in these all the time.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Sure. Yeah.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: So that would be it. All right. Nevermind.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: You got to give us a intrigue. Cause you know,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the jets won't know who to prepare for.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Like it matters.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I still think it was a little, a little middle
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: finger to his old coordinator, pal. I mean, this is the,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: this is the battle that is the battle of, yeah,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: that broke Dan Campbell. Hadn't been the same since these
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: two walked out of the doors.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: That was tough for the lions.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you're well, I'm in, I don't know
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: if there's a team in the NFL that can't say
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: the same thing when you lose a great offensive, defensive coordinator, uh, Well,
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: maybe the Patriots.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I guess they were able to do just.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Fine every year when somebody like Romeo Cornell or some
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: of those guys were leaving.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the only one that's done anything since has
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: been Josh McDaniel. So he gets his ninth head coaching job,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: fails after nine more games, then they bring him back,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: and then they can win.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: How about that? That guy has a lot of confidence.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Around the league.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: But apparently, I don't think he's getting another job. From
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: what I heard he did in Jim Irsay's bathroom... That
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: might not happen. That might not happen.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I heard about this. Or was
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: it Jim Irsay did it in Josh McDaniel's bathroom?
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I'll have to do some Googling during the break. You
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: got to do some Googling during the break. Yeah, you
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: got to do some Googling during the break.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: That's separate than the Brable? That's not the Brable thing? No.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: There has to be a Netflix series already. If not,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: there has to be one on the life of Jim Irsay.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: I would watch all two seasons, three seasons. Oh, yeah.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: We are five days away from the Saban doc coming out.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And I can not. Are these all untolds though?
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Saban is a 30 for 35 part series.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Now we're talking. Now you're 30 for 30 multiple part.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to get a good production. I'm with you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Armand's now excited.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: They've got a camera of him telling Tua and Jalen
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: hurts that they're changing during the national championship game.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: He's been building this one for a while. And that's
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban. What are you going to say to him?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: What are you going to say?
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Nick Saban.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That's Lombardi. Like, okay.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: He is the Lombardi of college football. Dolph, thanks for
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: hanging out with us. Appreciate you. Thanks, fellas.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: We will be back quickly with Who's Hot, Who's Not,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen. Don't forget, Hunter Baumgart
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: joins us at 7, Bill Schroeder at 725. You're in
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Back on the huddle,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, Drew Billion, Armin. Time for a
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: little Who's Hot, Who's Not, brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Heating and cooling the HVAC. Experts, employee-owned.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: For 40 years, Billy, who do you got for who's hot,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: who's not?
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I got one guy who was very hot last night. Now,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: it was for a couple of different reasons. Man, we
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: talk about Sonny Gray. The audio that Sonny Gray had
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: after the game was hilarious to listen to. You could
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: hear it in his voice, the frustration. He said, I'm
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: the best in the American League going third time through
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the order. I think that's a fact. When he looks
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: up and looks at the reporters and said, I think
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: that's a fact. You could tell he was a little
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: ticked after being pulled in the fifth inning and then
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: quickly run crosses for the Yankees. They freight train with
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: six in the sixth inning, and it was curtains for
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: there for the Boston Red Sox, who had one of
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: the best returns.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say to glory.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: To relevancy, and then into the postseason on their, what
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: did they go, 30-4 in the middle of the year?
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: At one point, 30-6 to be able to get here,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: and then they get two games in the Bronx and
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: a quick exit and an early trip to Cabo. So
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: not hot were the Boston Red Sox. One guy that's
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: very hot in that series, though, and hopefully the Brewers
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: can have one of their young rookies, perform like George
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Lombard Jr.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Is.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Oof.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: In the two games, he hits. 500, comes through yesterday
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: with a big base hit, scores a run, drives one in.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: He had been phenomenal starting at shortstop, and he's going
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: to get a ton of opportunities. It could be a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: pair of rookie shortstops, if both make it all the way,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: of a Cooper Pratt, Lombard Jr. Pairing there in the
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: World Series. He's definitely hot. Also, Cody Bellinger with a
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: three-run shot yesterday. Bellinger threw out his dad threw out
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: the first pitch.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: To him, right? Yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: How do you describe... Bryce Harper's day yesterday.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Is that hot? Oh man, both.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I mean the redemption, like the, from goat and the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: old reuse of goat to hero. I was going to ask, uh, the,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the official scoring acumen on the show. Um, the hometown
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: call there on the, on the double or what did, what'd.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: You think of that one?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, it's like guys take bad routes and stuff. You,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: you just, As somebody that had... Is it a misplay
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: or not?
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: As somebody that had Drake Baldwin over one and a
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: half total bases at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook, I was very
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: glad they ruled it a double.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't think they were ruling it a double. They
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: clanked off the glove. But the Phillies go back to
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: back with Schwarber and Harper. Those two hot. They did
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: it twice in the regular season. One time yesterday, a
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: stave off elimination. Phillies win it 4-3. Alec Boehm with
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the game winner in the 10th. So, They play a
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: game later on tonight. That's definitely going to be a hot.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: One to be able to watch. Cubs definitely not hot.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: BCA 0-8. Bregman 0-7 in the series as well. They
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: go 0-15 in the two games. They scored one run
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: and had eight hits in two games. There is your
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: most prolific offense during the regular season.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Top OPS in all baseball and the most homers in
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: the NL, third in baseball. We always thought that that's
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: what plays in the playoffs. It doesn't play when you
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: don't do it.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Donald Jorgensen, sponsor of Who's Hot, Who's Not.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the guy, we'll talk a lot about Tatis, Machado,
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: that middling group, Drew, you mentioned Xander Bogarts, him, Merrill,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: and France, all. Two hits last night. Jackson Merrill's been
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: a freight train lately. Those are the guys to watch
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: coming up.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Good players.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Good players. You're going to face good players. Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: You got to beat good players to be able to
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: get to where you want to go.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to be hard. Absolutely. And the Brewers have
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: good players, too.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: And talking about who's hot, who's not, I got a
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: story from Yahoo Sports here, Drew, of the hot seats
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: and the biggest buyouts in college football. Crazy what one
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: win against the top 15 team can do. Eight coaches
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: listed here with Lincoln Riley, Shane Beamer, Mike Loxley, Bill Belichick,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Mike Norvell. Sonny Dykes, Greg Shiano, Deion Sanders. Not one
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: mention of one Luke Fickle.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Stack it up with a win here today.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: And you won't be on any of those lists. Let's
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: call that progress. Let's call that progress. You're off that list,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: and hell, they might be ranked if they beat Michigan
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: State handily. All right.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Bill Schroeder, Brewers TV.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: You're in the huddle.
