  Speaker 1: Get and own.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is time for a beautiful Friday in the good Land.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday and happy homecoming Brewers fans as armand Sarian,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: let's the rooster wake up at five oh two. I'm
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Billy Schmid and all of you on YouTube X and
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Facebook and join us as well as the iHeart Radio
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: app ten seventy Madison nine to twenty am in Milwaukee.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Armin I said it quickly there, it's a it's a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: homecoming day.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It is Friday. Now.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I know homecoming was not your jam. That was the
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: one in the spring. That was your that was your
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: crown jewel. However, with my title there, I still enjoyed it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I see, I see July twenty fourth on the Brewers schedule,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and I don't think my wife's birthday, which I probably
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: should have, Oh, happy birthday. What I do think of,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: don't worry, she ain't listening right now. What I do
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: think of, though, is that apparently the Brewers have landmarked
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: this end of July as their homecoming date. And today
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we get it at three o'clock, well a little after
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the three ten first pitch, when we get the legends
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: day and the ceremony, and why not bring in the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Colorado Rockies in the middle of July to have yourself
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a homecoming Friday where you let everybody take a half
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: day off, bring the legends back, and let's have a
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: beautiful Friday in the good Land.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Last year was the Marlins, right, if I correct.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: We thought was gonna be a Waltz, which you thought
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: was the Rockies. You thought you got the vanderbuilt and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Diego Pavia showed up and you're like,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: wait a second, this ain't the same kind of homecoming
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: date that I thought I was bringing.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: You thought it was Thomas Moore for homecoming, yeah, or
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Greenfield Greenfield coming. I hate to say it, but we
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: had to play somebody we couldn't play ourselves. So for us,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: it was like we played Thomas Moore to try and
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: win three nothing. But yeah, that was the that's the goal.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: And you know, we hope this year that the Rockies
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: are the Rockies and not like last year. We thought
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: the Marlins were the Rockies and they were actually better
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: than we thought.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But listen, Billy, this is a lot of fun.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I think the Shoe horned it into a great spot
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: because it's after the All Star break obviously, but before
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: the trade deadline, where people you know, liked to think
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: they're starting to get serious and zip up their pants
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: tight or a little bit and zip up their shirts
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: tied a little bit for sure, sor right, we're gonna
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: get serious now, so this is still time for a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: little funn and games. It's sort of like a little
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: it's like a little summer camp at the ballpark of like, hey,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: let's let's reunion week. And I love this being like
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: a tradition because it was so successful. If you remember
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: last year, especially with the home run derby and the
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: excitement around it. I think it was more interesting than
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: most fans than the actual game, like in a lot
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: of ways, especially when that you know, now we're used
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: to winning as we.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Are more sure.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: It was so fun and so I'm excited about And
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I think the key is you get really good lineups
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and really good groups of legends coming back. And that's
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: a testament to the Brewers organization and how well they
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: made these groups of players feel when they were here.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: And that's a testament to Brewers fans, Billy Frankly, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: how much these guys enjoyed being here and want to
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: be part of of something that that's coming back. It's
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: not like, you know, we couldn't find anyone to come back,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: so we got you know, so and so middle reliever
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: that no one remembers like no. I mean, this is
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: an awesome group of guys, so great players, great memories,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and guys I think that are gonna be genuinely happy
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: to come back.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I can play.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I love to bring the little old timers game thing
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: back well, and that that's the fun part. I know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: as a as a not want to be New Yorker,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but somebody that has an affinity for New York I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: think I think you probably look at the old Timer
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yankee game thinking George Costanza and you, and that's all
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I could think of is that the Yankee Old Timer
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: game used to be.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It used to be a deal. Uh.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Now this one for the Brewers second year in a row,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that they're doing something of it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: There was probably more hype, damn near for the home
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: run derby a year ago. Well, the Prince coming back
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: seeing some of those guys now, sadly they probably should
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have moved the fences in or juiced up the balls.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, those things should have been sitting in a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: sona for the last five days. However, this one, now
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that they're going to play some kind of a game today,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what it looks like. All I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: care about are in no Hammis blumb right. We want
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: no hammis, no Achilles. We don't want doctor Bong or
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the Ortheed Associates of Wisconsin to have to run out
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: onto the field and all nor asp asap walk right
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: off that field because we have somebody with the retirement injury.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: We don't want any of that. So we wanted to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: be nice and calm and exciting. But I think what
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you said there, Arman of like not only the organization
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: but the fan base allowing these guys to live rather
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: normal lives. We talk about it with the Packers all
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the time, guys that live there throughout the season. Zabry
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: McKinney mentioned it this year on a podcast, like, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's pretty awesome.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I just get to work out folks on football, save money.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get to save money, and then people allow
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: me to live my life. Because you see Packers in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the wild all the time, and for I think Brewers
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: in particular, the support has always been there, especially for
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the last fifteen twenty years under Marcottinascio's ownership. Kind of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: don't you blink and realize that it's been that long
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and there's a huge core of group of guys that
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: are going to come back that all meant a ton
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to the organization even though they didn't have the on
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: field wins and losses success that the groups are right now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Like I think there's a there's so many Brewers fans
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that go to the game tonight this afternoon that are
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: going to have their young children at the game, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine the Ben Sheets conversations that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Are gonna be had.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Like I just I enjoy the thought of people letting
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: come on, buddy, let me sit down and tell you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a little something about what Richie Sexon.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Used to do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Son, You didn't you didn't see this kid when he
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: first came up. Son, I wish you could have seen
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: the fastball and that big curveball when Ben Sheets first
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: came up, before he started.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know, beating about big curveball. Randy Wolf, Oh, Randy Wolf,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that bad boy in there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Son, Let me tell you about when Randy Wolf won
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Game four in the NLCS and gave us hope, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: I'll I mean that. I love when we spin those yarns.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: And you know what, you guys think, misthrows fast. They
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: don't have the type of speed guns they have now. Well,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I think I bet Ben Sheets was throwing one ten.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I bet he was. Actually that's what people say.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: What Ryan, you watched this guy in Los Angeles? His
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: number seventeen? Oh yeah, this show? Hey o tani Uh,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: we had the guy that walked so he could run right?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You want you want?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You want us to call brooks Keishnik out of the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: bullpen and then walk in here and hit a dinger
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: off of the right field foul pol We'll see that
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: just might happen later on today. Yeah, Jonathan Lucroy played.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the guy in Twitter all the time now
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: making tweets? Yeah, I do appreciate some of the legends
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in here now. Doug Davis being a part of it
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is a phenomenal thing for me.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He had that nice run. It was at four.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: There was a there was I would say probably six.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: There was a season, much like this year has been
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the Brandon sprot season for me. When you show up
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to a Brewers game or all of a sudden, you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: know you have tickets for Brewers game.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Probable starters pop up, right.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I think I've seen sports start five times Davis game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: There was a year in which I think every single
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: time my mom took me to the game, we saw
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Doug Davis pitch okay, yeah, And all that really meant
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: was you're in for a long afternoon, not a not
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: necessarily a bad time. But my man was not gonna
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: be very pitch clock friendly. If twenty years later, twenty
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: years later, worker no.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Doubt he was a guy that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Didn't that didn't necessarily speed you up like Brent Souter does.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So I would love to know how many baseballs he
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: would have to uh trade out like Trevor McGill, just
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to be able to crowbar in a couple of longer
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: breaks time.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But that would be nice.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But some of the uh, some of the legends a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: little more recent than you would have thought.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: However, many Penia I.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Was like, maybe some of these guys at Pineapple there,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: maybe we're still playing. And Pineapple is the first guy
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I thought of, because for a while many Penia was like.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: The longest tenured brewer and didn't feel like it. But
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: then again.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: You you start looking back, Billy at some of these
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: guys baseball reference pages and you're like, Wow, the last
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: ten years went fast, didn't they. Like it really shocks
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: you to realize, Oh, wait a minute, he played like
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: ten twelve years ago, Like I thought he just like
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: retired or he thought he was just on the roster
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: in spring, and it's hard to believe. But guys, I'm
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: excited to see Obviously you're excited to see like the
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Ryan Brons and Richie sections of the world, like some
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: of the great players you grew up with. See how
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: they're doing. Now, See what's up now. Jeff Jenkins. Of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: course Bill hall Thames has got to be Probably I'm
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: most curious to see how cut.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: This guy still is. Like, I don't know what you're
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: curious about.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He's still going to be I'm saying, he's still going
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to be absolutely shod.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: And then like, I want to see if you have
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Vanni's gonna swing a bat, like you know we have
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the d H. Now that's a good one you could
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: swing a little bit. Uh, Jeremy Jeffers, I'm curious to see, like,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: how's do Ozzie doing? Now? He had some he had
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: some tough patches in Milwaukee, you know, Jeremy Jeffers, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: so I was happy to see him the roster because
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, that means a he's doing somewhat well
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: enough to be able to come back. And he's for
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: sure not like a guy that has any ill feelings
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: or ill will, because there was some tough moments in
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee where we had a couple of stints and you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: he had a he had a battle some former.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: First round pick.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And I mean there's also if you're looking at it
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: for the deadline this year, and I know there were
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: some that mentioned h yesterday as we've talked about the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: different group packages that you could go that Zach Grank
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: package was something and he was a part of it,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: even though you and I totally forgot that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: He was totally forgot when when we were talking about
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it earlier in the week. But yeah, he was a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: part of it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And you probably don't land that fish if it's not
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: for him at that point and one of the big
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: parts of your team in twenty eighteen.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: And I think it just goes to show you that
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: most of the time, at least maybe this is a
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: super like rosy look at things. But I think most
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: of the time people have a positive view of you
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: as time goes on, of remembering you what you did now.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I could be wrong, but like you don't necessary Jeffers
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: blew some saves that were important for the Brewers that
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: you might not remember that as much. Or do you
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: think people are gonna remember that? I mean I know
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: that us we will, yeah, but.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know that like you know regular Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think Game two of the NLCS and eighteen
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: is gonna get brought up today.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would hope not. There's some markets
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like he'd get although.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: It has been here in five to twelve, Yeah, that's true,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: But there's there are some markets where guys don't feel
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: good coming back, like they're gonna boom me, like they're
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: gonna light me up, like I'm gonna get Bill Buckner
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: here after a while. And it's like, I don't think
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: people they don't look at Milwaukee that way, which I
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: think is generally a positive than I. Oh, some people
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: would like to be like more of an intense, more
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: of a harder fan base, like some of the Philly
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: and stuff, But this is not us. You know, so
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I think that's okay because you think you want these guys,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: and then hey, I mean listen, anytime you can see
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: an arm dog again.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'll be excited. Oh my god.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Also, one of my favorite, uh favorite brewers in the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: time that I was doing the postgame show with Timmy
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and covering the team every every day, Chase Anderson was
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest guys in that locker room. This
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: fact that's really cool to be able to see. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and some of these dudes like Brad Bosberger. Yeah, all
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: due respect, didn't anticipate Brad Brocksburger beyond a legend legends name.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Well, that's maybe that's where we needed to get another guy,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: But then you click on the Baseball Reference page. My
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: man had a one and a one point two war
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in his two years in Milwaukee. I don't fully understand
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the war metric. I know you do a little bit more.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: One win in sixty innings feels rather significant. That feels
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: pretty good for a reliever. And also they were his
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: best years. They were two of his final three years
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: in the big leagues. And now he's close to forty.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Some of these guys, that's also a also a good
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: moment for your own mortality when you look back and realizing,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, all right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Make you feel good.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I'm getting up there that I had anticipated at this
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: particular point time. But brad Box program, I'm I understand
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: why he is very, very fond at his time in
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee as well. A lot of these guys ended up
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: having you know, peak years while they were here because
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: so many of them have been a part of the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: last decade, which has been, you know, the most successful
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: run of Brewers baseball by a wide margin, even though
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the postseason success might not have reached that level that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it did in nineteen eighty two. However, our friend Gilbert
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: on the YouTube comments, Armon, I know you like this
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: one morning.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Boys.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I love the once a Brewer, always a Brewer mentality.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch after the game. How can you
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: not love baseball? Is one of those how can you
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: not be romantic about the Milwaukee Boss?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: And there's something about you know, Aaron always would say,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: how can you not be romantic about football? And how
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: can you not love baseball? And there's also something to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: a summer memory. I mean, it's a summer game, it's
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: a summer memory, and I think it is pretty cool.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And let's face it, Billy, it's a It's a great
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: thing the Brewers do.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: They had that outreach alumni and had that to build
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: that sort of past to present connection, build that sort
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: of continuity and fans and players and organization have an
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: alumni group.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Like that, And it's also cool.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I think for a lot of players that probably aren't
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: the guys that are normally gonna have like Hall of
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Fame nights and homecoming nights.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure anyone called Brandon.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Kinsler except for maybe a I don't know, with a
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: situation with high school maybe hit a high school hall
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: of Fame, but how maybe a Brandon Kinselers of the
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: world are like, you know, this is cool. They're gonna
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: bring me out for a weekend. I'm gonna see some
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: old guys. I'm gonna feel kind of like welcome back
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: to hero for like you know what I mean, Like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: no doubt some guys that weren't the stars and so
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: to speak, that are gonna feel like that. I do
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: feel Team Milwaukee though, totally. I mean, these are some
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: don't you think that uneven teams? Team Willwaukee is a
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: lot better than team Whisk going well, I all.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Respect, you know, I may have thought the same thing
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: in goodness, like who came up with these? So let's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: let's give it. Let's give it the run. Now, let's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: let's give credit where credit is due to do it. Yeah.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: General manager Doug Melvin was was dicing it up there
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: for team Milwaukee going up against general manager gord Ash.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee has jeff By Yankee, Okay, Ryan Braun, Doug Davis,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Tim Dillard, Corey Hart, All Star, Jeremy Jeffers.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I belie, am I correct?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Here the loan representative one time for the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Uh in the also was Danny coleb On that on
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: an All Star team.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was Dan Dan colebet One that one amazing year,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: had the All.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Star year as a closer.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Brewers traded him then for Jose copy On, I think
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: the pitcher, so both guys. That was, you know, nothing
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: after that, but that was Dan's one good year, which
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: trade him to Atlanta. So Cob had his good year
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: the pride of Illinois State. I mean he had that
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: first half of I think it's old four. He didn't
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: give up a save. I mean he was just amazing
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: for a while. Yeah, Illinois State Redbird absolutely wow. Two
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: thousand and three two war arming. No, he was awesome
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: for one year. I mean then and then what kind
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: of too. Two thousand and four was when he was
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: the All Star.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and three was a pretty damn good year
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: as well, my man Delock Standy Cole. But thirty nine
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: saves was thirty nine saves wasn wasn't oh four and
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that was definitely the year, so Dan coleb George kataris
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: one of the most handsome sons A guns to all time.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Gorgeous George, very very handsome. Chris Narvis and Jase Peterson.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I'm the Brewers staff currently. Again, I don't know a
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: lot of people would have thought Jase Peterson when you
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: think of Brewer's legend.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: However, I thought he might be playing. Still. I like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it a lot, Yeah, I like it a lot.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Also, Manny Pina, Richie Sexson, my first favorite player, Travis Shaw,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: who I loved seeing on the list as well. Mayor
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: of Dingong City needed to be a part of that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Ben Sheets and Carlos Vienoeva.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I mean that top five in the lineup a I
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: mean I mean, you know, Heart brun Sex and Shaw.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess top four. I'll respect the Jeff Bank.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I mean that's a pretty good But you know what,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Manny and George at George didn't George hit for the
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: cycle once? I want to say, or he did something
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: like that. Maybe that was Chad Moeller remeybe they bolted. Anyway,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: My point is that's a pretty good Chad Moeller definitely did.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: And you might be right on George Katars he did
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: something quirky like that if it wasn't full on cycle,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: he had a type of game like that and he
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: was either close to it or was wasn't it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And then but that's a good group, you know.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: But Ed Cedar managing, you know, I feel like he's
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: got the pulse on that team.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: On September third, twenty eleven, talk to him. Tell m
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: George Katars hit for the cycle in a game against
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the Houston Astros, becoming the seventh Brewer to do so
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and the third catcher to achieve the feat, along with
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the aforementioned Chad Moler and armand Sarien Damien no no oh.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I always thought, uh, at my point in time, I
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: very young fandom. I always thought Naman Miller and Chad
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Muller was the same guy. Yeah, they kind of did
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: feel that way. There was there was a good there
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: was a good moment and as a as a very
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: very pear shape youth at that point where I kind
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: of thought they were the same guy. But no, Charlie Moore,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the other Brewers Catcher uh to accomplish that feat in
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: eleven five bombs, one hundred and eleven at bats. George
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Guitars member of Team Milwaukee now Team Whisko. Yeah, maybe
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: maybe a little bit tougher, but scrappy lunch, pale bunch
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: that does all the little things.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Hey, SIUs Aguilar, Well, first of all, he's a slugger,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: all right. You they give it Hayes with some credit.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: He could really lift him into the stands for a while.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he was still you know, okay.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Chase Anderson, Brad Bocksberger, Yovanni, Guyardo, Bill Hall thirty plus
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: bombs right there in a year.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: If you have six Bill Hall, what about Jeff Jenkins, Jeff,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: of course, I mean he is probably their best player.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: The uh again, one of the marvels of American sports history.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Brooks Keishnek Absolutely, I thought you gonna say, Brandon Kinsler,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: All Star, Corey Canabel and also podcaster Corey Cannabel. Oh,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Brewers Territory. You gotta listen to him and it's very
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: very good. Jabe fire Eisen also on there as well.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Corey has been very very fun getting into the content game,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: like it a lot.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Eric Kratz also media star. Now he's lem on foul Territory.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Jonathan LUCROI, well, yeah, there you go.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Lucroy, Kasey McGee, Eric Soguard, Eric Thames, and Big
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Curveball Randy Wolf Is. Uh, Luke Croy gonna get it
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a reception that you expect, I guess because we think
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the Internet is reality and maybe there's a lot of
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: people sitting in the stands that have no idea that
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Luke Croy has been like jumping in on Twitter. Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know that any of his I don't know
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: that any of the the takes that he's had on
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: online would be it. Now, maybe the maybe there would
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: be a little bit of a jeer, a joking manner
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: for the uh you know what was it saying that
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: there wasn't Veteran Leadership in the clubhouse five paragraph essay
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: of Okay, I thought you were going in on the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: when there is potentially some political converse, it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Could be for some, but it wasn't even that.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: It was more his lightning rod moment was more recently
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: when he was coming at the Veteran leadership, Like.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: The Veteran leaders is this your rebay guy? Would have
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: done this to the Cardinals that we would have had
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: to have a conversa.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: It's just a reminder you can use chat GPT to tweet,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: but just reread it first before you want to make
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: sure it doesn't say something that you don't want to say.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Fans can also enhance their experience today with the Alumni
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Legends game theme night, special ticket package, limited edition bowling shirt,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: and an autographed photo card from participating alum.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Well like that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Now, maybe I'm thinking about the crafty Left. He's like
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Randy Wolf. Maybe as their age goes, maybe they're more
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: equipped because they threw with that natural cheese. Maybe they're
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: more equipped to mix these guys up like I was
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: trying to think of. Maybe that's a hidden advantage if
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: you weren't a power guy, because they've got. I mean
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Team Milwaukee has Nervousen and Davis who pitched like that. Yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: and then and then Team Whisko has Andy Wolfoo pitch
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And see I see big curveball as potentially the only
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: thing that can get hit in this game because.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It's slow enough and you can see slow enough.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Also not as dangerous, well maybe more dangerous to be
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: thrown right, Like we do got to be thinking along
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: some of those lines. I would want to know what
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: the travel ball scene for individual player alumnized children is.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: That's an amazing point.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Now, Gerrit Krattz, Yeah, I believe he was coaching his
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: son's baseball team that won the state title. Okay, right,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: so like these guys are most likely still a round
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: ball Brian Anderson said a couple of days ago.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: He said he firmly believes Ryan Brown could still hit
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in the big leagues. I don't question that much at all.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: No.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I think when you get him going, you know, probably
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: he's been taking VP getting ready for this. I think
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: last year was maybe a wake up for some to
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: say maybe.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I take this one a little bit more serious. Maybe
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: maybe Father Time was undefeated, Like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's maybe I get myself really in shape
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: and really ready for this alumni.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: And Fames is back right because he was at the
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: home run derby. I think wasn't he one that wanted
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: to take it seriously? So maybe he's the guy I
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: could see that spent all year working on this moment.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: And nothing better than which I got a question here now.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe it is the middle of summer, could be on vacation,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: could have a travel ball tournament.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: He On Broxton won the home run derby last year,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: didn't he? He did?
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: And I think there was some thought like this was
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: the youngest guy, so where's hand lest Yeah weird.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Like I would have I would have thought that would
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: have instantly got you into it into the next year.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You're too good for us, You're not allowed to play?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Is that what that was? I don't know.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I think probably more of maybe last year he was like,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: wait a second, I can still do this, He'll do
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: this thing.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Is there an independent league team that's looking for a
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: guy to get my restart by a comeback started again?
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know, and again I have no information. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: probably shouldn't have said that into the microphones. I don't
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: want to put anything out there. He probably got stuff
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: going on. This is them being able to come back
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and have some fun. Yes, uh and and fitted into
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: the schedule. It's not a it's not a who's there
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: because if they don't, if they're not there, then they
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: don't like him. That was like that golf trip that
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the Calves didn't for the twenty sixteen title team. Then
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it was like, well, why didn't you guys invite this guy?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Why do you guys say Kyrie Irving?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, or like some people will say that if
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: you don't invite it in their wedding or if you
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: don't do this, it's like is there a problem, No,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: there's no problem. It's just sometimes you know, I mean,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I went to dinner with Josh last night. It wasn't
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: because I don't like you for instance. Does that make
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: any sense?
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Cool dude, Well yeah, you get what I'm saying.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Like, it's not exclusionary exact unless we have a thirty
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: five invite the group to all go to Golden Corral.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: We can't make this thing work where everybody goes.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: But but you're right, some people always look at it
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: that way, like looking around for the exclusionary, the negative,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: like world, wait, what.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I want to know. It's an exclusive, exclusive club. Oh yeah,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: what about this not exclusive to anybody?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: To all folks in attendance today before first pitch. This
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: is one of those days again three to ten first pitch.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: You might as well get there early. You're probably taking
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the whole afternoon off. Ye might as well get there
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: decently early. Special pricing including two dollars and fifty cent
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: beer come on now and brought specials until first pitch.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Like, there's not a lot of buzz about that beer deal?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Am I the only one?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I saw it yesterday and I made sure that I
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: was bringing it up multiple times today.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: That's probably one of the best deals in the history
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: of Milwaukee sports.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, be honest with you.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Like, Also, twenty five percent off headwear in the Brewers teams,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: which is big.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That's about ten bucks. That'll be a in all reality.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if not damn near more. I think I think
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the fitteds are over fifty, So enjoy the day today.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It should be a phenomenal one. I like the fact
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: that they even put in there. It'll be a lighthearted
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and celebratory atmosphere with the competitive spirit because it remains real.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: AKA, don't start getting on these guys.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: If there it's more like nothing in the fifth enign
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: be upset to hear from you if you're going to
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the game later on today as well.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: This is garth Orge's moment. He's gonna put on some
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: hit runs and all kinds of stuff. This is his moment.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Garth Orge over at third base cooking it up. Now
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: we got Do you think there will be a signs
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: meeting before the before the game for Team Whisco or
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Team Milwaukee?
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Is it come up with all the goofy of signs
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Like he seems to be the jokes of the group.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: So it's gonna be Ben Sheets doing the butt scratch
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: like thing for like Steel and that's like you know
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: what I mean? I could just see that. It's like
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: what farv usaid do him for Makowski. Did you ever
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: see that NFL films where it was like the rodeo
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: play was he would.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Go, oh for sure, I was making them all crazy.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: So was what nearly is funny when I started playing
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Jeff and Fox point, Hey guys, Happy Friday. Do you
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: think the alumni game will be televised on the Brewer
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: TV app?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I hope they do.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: The same like FanDuel did with the alumni home run
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: derby last year. Jeff, I would be floored if it
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: wasn't on TV. Like you, you could call color me
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the most shocked human being of all time. I read
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: through the press release a couple of times. I didn't
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: see it on there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But it will. It will be on Brewers TV enough
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to do it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I'm guaranteeing it'll be on Brewers TV, even though I
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: don't know that it'll be on Brewers TV.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Is that fair enough to say?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I hear they're streaming youth sports baseball games
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: now from out of market for preparents to buy the
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: app and then watch their eleven year old play in
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: North Carolina somewhere.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So why wouldn't they stream.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: This approximately twenty minutes after the conclusion of the game.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: They'd still be in Brewers Live. They'll just go on
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: an extended postgame show, alumni taking the field for warm
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: ups immediately following the final out. The Legends game will
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: feature three inning format or one hour.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Of play, whichever comes first.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: In the event of a tie, the game will be

  Speaker 2: decided in a home run derby swing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, so let's cheer for a three to three.

  Speaker 2: we go into extra innings and we get a swing
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: off and a home run derby and Ryan Braun going
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: up against Jeff Jenkins like you should have been made

• 25:09
  Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Radio wiscons You can't always take everything
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: you find online to be factual. Sure, I've been on
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: way too many my Space pages to know that. You
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: can't just think that everything that you read online is accurate. However,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: there's certain people that you trust, maybe more than others,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: and there's some people that I trust, you know, somewhat
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: rather explicitly, like our friend Mike and Merrill. Yes, for sure,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: our longtime listeners. We met Mike and going down, great
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: human being and very very knowledgeable Brewers fan loves Milwaukee Brewers,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: loves interacting with It's on talking text line. He fired
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: in that Dan Colton missing part of his index finger?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: I didn't see that, And I try to source it
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: somewhere and I'm looking for it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: But we're gonna need Hunter to get on the on
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that beat later on today.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Can I say there's one more thing about Dan, the
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Dan Colbs situation. Then there are sometimes when I'm so
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: impressed with the Internet. I'm very impressed with what they
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: can give us. We find I find stuff on YouTube
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I can't believe exist, you know, I'd like to do that.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I'm a little disappointed. I mean I found the good
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and the bad.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I mean the good. I found oodles and oodles of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Russell Brandon highlight clips the other day.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Right for this show, I can't find one Dan coleb
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: highlight with the Brewers.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I'm got a kidd on YouTube. Now, maybe I'm not.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Looking hard enough, or maybe it's Danny Coleb and I'm
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: gonna look at but you tell me a man that
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: performed that way he did in Milwaukee, at least for
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: that time. I don't have one highlight of him somewhere.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Now I understand it's not like Stany Coleb.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I'm here.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe you gotta type in that DeLux Standy cole put
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: in de Standy Coleb and see if that one works,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: because I think that one's probably got a better shot
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: of being the one to get it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine seven three. Nick and Sussex said,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: like ninety percent. Sure.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I heard BA say it's Telly. I'm again, I'm going
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: out on the on the proverbial limbit. It's gonna be televis.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be able to enjoy it all throughout, uh
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the late in early evening tonight, bitch clock game. You
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily know three ten game. This thing's going to
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: roll out pretty quickly. Corey beer On, Damn, Yeah, that's.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: What I saw.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I said when I read it. Smarter the
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: brewers to put that one in bold fun. Yeah, that's huge.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: That's a bold italicized I probably would have underlined it
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: as well, we got two dollars fifty until first patch.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe they don't want to advertise that too much, you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: maybe you.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Don't want to have that's that might not be they're
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: hard to do it, because that is an amazing I mean,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: what else in life can you get like an eighty
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: percent discount on?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that like an eighty percent? Now, maybe
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: they're smaller beers. I'm guessing. Yeah, no doubt, no publicized.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, there's no widespread that notable on the internet
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: at least injury like that for Dan Cole that I
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: can find.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not doubting it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: I just know we're on his uh on any of
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: his pages. He did graduate from Walmont High School Walmut, Illinois.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Pretty cool, there we go.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I know where Walmut, Illinois is, but near normal.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, there you go, Well Illinois state that
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I think it's I think it somewhere.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: See I thought he's from Cashew, Illinois.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: No, not Almond either. Eight seven seven seven nine four
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: one nine seven three. I'm sorry you've been sitting on
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: that one all break, and I apologize to not give.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: It the kind of requisite pop that you were opening
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: well in your head.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: You thought that was the Dago quality of like the
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Fjord Mustang jie.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: That was well, the Fjord f one fifty had all
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: of us roll in a little bit yesterday, but yeah,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the the escape wasn't nearly as good.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: That.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you swing, sometimes you miss, and that's the point
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: if you're a reliever.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I guess now there might be some swinging miss later
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: on today from both both squads, the main Brewers team
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: UH that will play a three ten against the Colorado
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Rockies and Hunter Goodman, who might be playing one of
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: his final series with the Colorado Rockies. He's one of
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the big trade ships that that's out there. A number
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: of catchers that people are trying to potentially acquire at
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the deadline that had usually been a position teams.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't want to trade for.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: No, you're usually said deadline because it's there, takes so
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: much time to get acclimated with the pitching staff. There's
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: so much necessary information you got to have before you
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: go out there.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: A lot of that is a repetition and timing and
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: familiarity in that role.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: However, there's Eric Kratz who's on this team. He was
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: brought in mid season that right. I believe he was
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: right near the trade deadline when he got brought in
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: twenty eight.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: That's a good point, and he got a lot of
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: those starts in the playoffs and deservedly so. But I think,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: you know, there are some guys maybe that are unique
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: in that sense, that are enough of that veteran presence
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: that have been around the league enough to be able
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: to acclimate quickly with catchers or if you're a pitcher's
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: excuse me, or if you're a veteran presence, you know, hey,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: that's the role, and I'm going to try and get
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: to know these guys. Or maybe they're already well versed
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: in what they do. I mean, krats might have been
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: that exception in that sense. However, Billy teams are looking
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: at the flip side of what you said is that
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: teams are looking from offense from that position more than
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: they used to, wouldn't you say, like once upon a time,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: that first sort of like short stopoorts, Like you know,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: if you're a grinder, if you can handle my staff,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: if you're giving me good defense, if you can manage
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: all that, if you're giving me two fifty of an average,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: it's a plus. But now I think people teams are realizing, hey,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: if I can get a little offensive boost from that position,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: if I could get some sort of special bat there,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: it's kind of worth doing, which I think is interesting
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: because if you think of the better teams in Major
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: League Baseball recent vintage, they did have pretty good hitting
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: catchers or at least guys that will come up with
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: big hits in those situations. So hey, maybe teams are saying,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: you know what, this is a light market, so we're
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: gonna try and find value wherever we.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Can, and maybe that's with catchers. Who knows. That's an
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: interesting development there.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, the Brewers definitely thought they had done that when
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: they acquired Kratz in twenty eighteen. I may twenty fifth
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: in exchange for a player to be named later or
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: cash considerations. So we don't really know what we're gonna
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: give you, But can we just have them?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll just can we just take them on your ends?
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: And he hit his first home run of the season
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the next day in his Brewers dave you, that's awesome
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: off of your boy, aj Ramos of the Mets. Did
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: you remember how hot he was during the NLDS Rocky Series, right,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: man went five of three game hitting Street.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, I don't remember the homer,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: but I do remember but that he had a monster
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: like run against the Rockies, a great couple of days.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: And I don't know that they had to do him
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: thirty like this on on wiki. But now maybe this
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: is more of a positive. Was the oldest player to
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: make his postseason debut since the very famous lave Cross.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Oh come on, we're going that far back the ninety
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: on the whole oh fock.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: He went to the.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Well, listen when you go to the host, because you know,
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: there were some wild names back in the day. But
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: it wasn't even like nineteen thirty or forty nineteen oh five.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: How is it even possible?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: As of twenty eighteen, Kratz had played four, not one,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: not two, but thirty minor league teams. No, he's a
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: true and eleven major league franchises in seventeen.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: All of his buddies came to the game with all
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: of his jerseys.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: That was one of the better moments of that entire season.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Better moments.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: And you're I mean a guy, a guy like me.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking, this is my kind of guy. This is
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: a guy I root for, like a complete grinder, journeyman
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: that did everything he could, that had this journey that
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: people went on him.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: With, Oh that's awesome. I mean to be able to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: do that and and just be as grateful.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Do you remember the clip that I remember about him
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: was when he was miked up or maybe the ump
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: was miked up.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I think it was him though, and it became.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Pretty viral about how how he thanked the umpire in
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: the middle of the final out when.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: When the Birds are gonna win. Clinton was a DS
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: or maybe the game once he was sixty three. You
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: see him turn around and shake.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: His thanks and then he went and said go hug
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: like you just this was a guy that loved his role,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: that loved baseball, that was so happy to be part
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: of it, that was so such a positive influence on
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: that team. So that was if you got the right
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: guy at the right time. And you know, it's like
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: he's I make a joke like he's really the oldest guys,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: but you see why, Like his veteran presence was so
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: important on that team, and he was so joyful and
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I loved you know, he's obviously carved out a great
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: role for himself now on media, and you can see
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: why because he loves baseball. You don't do something like that, Billy,
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: for that long and that many places, if you don't
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: love baseball.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Oh that's for sure, No, that is absolutely for sure.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: That is so awesome.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I remember I remember thinking like he didn't having this
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: type of series in an MLB playoff. It's like his
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: magnum opus for his career, Like it all headed to
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: that moment. He had like a broken bat single for
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: an RBI against the Rockies, and we went crazy when
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I was watching my buddies.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Oh great.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: He got traded right around spring in the spring training,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I think towards the end of spring training in twenty nineteen,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Timmy and I did an interview with him down in Arizona,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: and it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Was one of those where you kind of just wait,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: wait around. You're waiting for him.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You knew you had to get him because of how
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: hot he was during the playoffs last year, and you
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: had heard the sound bites.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: You knew that he was good.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: He didn't this point, walked in, took out his little
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: earbud right out of the gates, and I'm like, you're
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: going airpot or I was going your You're going full
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: full covers, right, he goes, yeah, you think about you
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: have those little half smoked cigarette buds in there. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: had never heard somebody call the AirPods that, and he
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: quickly became one of my absolute favorites because those things
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: suck the air.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: The AirPod designed, especially the original ones, were awful. Never
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: own any of those little things because I know I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: lose them. I know it. It's chapstick. I'm not gonna
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: that's my thing at least. I Yeah, did they sound
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I mean they did they work?
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I imagine they sounded very very good. Yeah. They just
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't fit. They would hurt, they weren't. They weren't comfortable.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: I used to use earbuds, thet the wired ones, and
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: I was convinced that's why I was getting ear wax,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: so I stopped using them.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing full headphones.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Everything would that would make, that would make a ton
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: of sense as to why, uh why that would happen.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter for me. I just thought it. We don't
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: have to make sense on the show. We just have
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to just have to think it and go impacted. Ear
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: wax sucks and you're doing any when you have it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: You're like, I'm doing anything to prevent this now.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine four nine seven to three.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: His ears are clean, and hopefully yours are so you
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: can hear him. He's arm and sorry, and I'm Billy Schmid.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: It's the hot on Fox Sports Radio Wiscon. We have
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: a now sometimes wouldn't generally make the best teams of
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: self accountability and being able to point thumbs not fingers.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: We like to point a lot of thumbs on this show.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: He always gonuld be better.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now we do point fingers every once in a while,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: generally at Army and myself.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Those usually go back and forth.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: They never go back at you over on the YouTube
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: comments x as well as on Facebook, but and the
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: nickolay a lot oft com talking text line.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: We appreciate when we point thumbs.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Our friend Mike and Merrill said a department of corrections
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: for myself, Billy and Armon. Apparently was Bob Wickman that
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: lost part of the index fingure. Oh your boy, so
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: then hold all ten digits gonna be taking the mound
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: here today for the Brewers alumni game.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Wikman was a good closed on the ninety Bobman, I
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: think was a Green Bay guy. If I'm not mistaken,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: he's from Wisconsin, I know, somewhere up in the valley
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: if it wasn't Green Bay. So Bob Wickman was a
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: local guy.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Good memory. Okay, that's okay, nothing wrong itself. Spot on
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Green Bank, okay, so good? Where he plays college baseball?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: That one I had no idea. I've a you dubbed
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: WW Whitewater Water.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Let's go second round pick out of u W Whitewater
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: They were always talking about college baseball on this day
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: high School.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Oconto Falls, so a little north of Green Bay. But yeah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: they listed him in Green Bay as the as the
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: primary residence.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Whin I see.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: We play college baseball in this today state. People always
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: talking about what we don't have. We got you, We
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: got Dalton Varshow we got him Dalton Varshow.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: From everything that I'm reading and everything I'm hearing, sounds
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: like he might be on the on the tradeline. Really
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: trade block. The Blue Jays are one of the fascinating stories, dude, I.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Mean they were.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know that there have been a lot of
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: teams closer to winning the World Series, winning a championship
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: in any sport than the twenty twenty five Toronto Blue Jays.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. I mean they were literally inches.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: They were maybe maybe half an inch on that cleat
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: if that cleat is touching home plate before before the
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: the tag comes down.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Ball game.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I mean Miguel Rojas hitting, who was mentioned here yesterday,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: that's back to back, Dave, Miguel Rojas.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I mentioned on the on the show, didn't necessarily know
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: that would happen, uh.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: But I mean he hits the game tying home run
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: in the A and the ninth they hit a sum Freeman,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: maybe Max Munsey hits one in the eighth. You almost
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: forget just how sick and how crazy that game was.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: But Toronto goes from having a two run lead in
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: the eighth inning of the of Game seven a World
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Series at home, having a lead going into the ninth
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: inning of Game seven in the World Series at home,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: to now probably having to sell because they're looking up
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: at everybody in the Al East and as luke warm,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: if not just downright bad as the al Is. I
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: just don't know how you can convince yourself to not
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: capitalize on a number of expiring contracts there and just
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: try to take some run here in the final fifty games.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Army.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: You've talked about it a lot.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: With the expanded playoffs, that's what they at least are
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: somewhat incentivizing some teams to do, I think, and I
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: think it's worked for allowing teams to do Yeah, but
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, vlad Guerrero Junior's got like
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: eight homers this year. They're just not performing nearly to
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: the level of what you remember the team doing from
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: a year.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Isn't that wild?
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: And we always talk about how progress or you know,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: results are not linear, like you can't guarantee results from
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: year to year. They always change. But there are some
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: guys that have totally done one eighties. I mean, obviously
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: cal Rally comes to mind. But you brought up Guerrero,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: I mean Boba Schett, I.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Mean, gave him too much credit to fifty nine six
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: homers and a six ninety two ops for Vladi.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: It's hard to believe people that players with that type
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: of talent could be struggling that much, and it makes
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: you wonder a lot of things. But even the guy
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: that they let go, obviously Boba Sheddar didn't let go,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: but that was gone.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: You know, that's another one that it's just hard to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: understand his struggle.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, it's a really an amazing game
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: in that sense, and it brings me back to the
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: old Dan Campbell. You know, there's no guarantee we'll be
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: back here. There's no guarantee we'll be back here. I
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: think there's always a thought that you will know a
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: different sport, obviously, but there's always a thought that, hey,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: all right, we're on the way. We've got the right
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: guys in place on paper, and these games are on
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: PA's not on paper. You gotta go out and perform
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: all the time. I mean, you you can be great
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: last year, you could be great yesterday. It doesn't mean
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be great today. There's no guarantees. People will
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: always look back on on sports, look back on rosters.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: We always do this and see how did that team
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: not win more with this group? With this guy on
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: that team and this guy. I'm like, what that guy
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: was doing to your best memory might not have been
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: what he was doing during that time, sure, or he
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: might not have come through during that time.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Like it's crazy to think that.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: You know that is uh that that's a difficult part
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: of the game and one that uh, I think probably
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of Brewers staying have thought of it, and
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I know I have at least where you line up
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and knowing that it's the right now Dodgers and Brewers,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: and as you know, John Hayman pointed out couple of
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: days ago, he said, it's the Dodgers and the Brewers
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: and everybody else. Yeah, and uh, if indeed that that's
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: the case, and I know I've at least said it
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: sounds a little bit more raw raw that I think
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: that series a lot closer than the four to zero
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: uh skunking that it ended up being last year. Ultimately
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: was you just can't tell me Bryce Tranks and go
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: what two for twelve again? They line that thing up
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: again that William and Cherror's gonna have one hit, two hits.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, things can be different with the same players.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: However, you need to have your best players having their
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: best games, and they just have not consistently had that
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: in a postseason run. Hopefully it happens coming up this
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: year because it feels like a great chance for a
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: special story in a special sea.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: But because something did or didn't happen the year before
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean it won't or will happen that same thing
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: the next year with the same guys.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: You just don't know what's gonna happen.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I believe can be mister October, there you go eight
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: seven seven seven nine four three. That would have been
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: good on a hot take comte would have been a
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: very good one. Eight seven seven seven nine to four
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: one nine seven three.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Enjoy.
