2:02
Speaker 3: I should say.
2:03
Speaker 2: Get the club going up on Thursday?
2:05
Speaker 1: Is this?
2:07
Speaker 2: Yeah?
2:08
Speaker 4: You called him Vince. I think only his mom calls
2:10
Speaker 4: him Vince. Yeah, and only when she's really ticked out
2:13
Speaker 4: his cousin. Yeah, I got thrown off his cousin Vinnie.
2:15
Speaker 3: You see from the at least I didn't say Vincent
2:18
Speaker 3: or like Vincenzo if he's Italian.
2:20
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's what I call.
2:21
Speaker 4: That's what I call Vinnie, Rotino, Vincenzo, Ncenzo. I like
2:25
Speaker 4: that one a lot, Vincenzo. That's like the army move
2:28
Speaker 4: right billy. When I like to say Salvat. They try
2:30
Speaker 4: to act like you're a little bit better friends with
2:32
Speaker 4: them than you are.
2:32
Speaker 3: Like I know, everybody used their full first name or
2:34
Speaker 3: middle name when they when they don't go by the
2:37
Speaker 3: first name, right, But it threw me off because it
2:39
Speaker 3: says Vince on his YouTube handle, but Vinnie from Mechuan
2:43
Speaker 3: is how he monikers himself. So either way, he's in
2:46
Speaker 3: the club as as you are, hopefully as we entered
2:49
Speaker 3: the o'clock.
2:50
Speaker 4: Hour, welcome into the club. On this Thursday. Brewers lose
2:54
Speaker 4: to the Cardinals last evening. They just got shut down.
2:58
Speaker 4: Man a little little uh hired from the doubleheader sweep.
3:02
Speaker 4: Perhaps it'll hang over. Well pitched game against them, guy
3:05
Speaker 4: had their number last night.
3:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean the the old adagey you can't
3:09
Speaker 5: win them all, definitely applied last night. And when you
3:13
Speaker 5: know one of your better guys as well. The first
3:16
Speaker 5: first batter, first pitch jump gets jumped on right away,
3:19
Speaker 5: and Kyle Harrison, it has kind of been rolling that
3:22
Speaker 5: way for Harrison as of late. Looks like a little
3:26
Speaker 5: June swoon, maybe a little malaise here in July, and
3:29
Speaker 5: elbow sorenis is what we don't like to hear. Yeah,
3:32
Speaker 5: and so hopefully hopefully that can all get cleared up,
3:34
Speaker 5: because it's always a good time for a break. As
3:36
Speaker 5: he said last night when he told the boys about
3:37
Speaker 5: that little sorenis going on.
3:38
Speaker 3: Well you know that that is always the like the
3:43
Speaker 3: boogeyman lurking around the corner for a pitcher his elbow
3:46
Speaker 3: soreness or elbow problem. So you do worry. But then
3:48
Speaker 3: but then again, who wouldn't be sore after the stretch
3:50
Speaker 3: they're having. Yeah, that's his last start before the break.
3:53
Speaker 3: So we get some time now is to let it
3:55
Speaker 3: quiet down a little bit, hopefully, But it just speaks
3:58
Speaker 3: to again like he's he's in an uncharted waters kind
4:02
Speaker 3: of And when you get to the Pennant Race and
4:04
Speaker 3: all that and everything amps up, it's just further cements
4:07
Speaker 3: that they have to go get some arms.
4:09
Speaker 4: They have to go get starting help and a reliever.
4:12
Speaker 4: They just need to and they have the assets, and
4:16
Speaker 4: I just there's no question. I have no question they're
4:19
Speaker 4: gonna make like at least one, if not too. It's
4:22
Speaker 4: like pretty significant moves.
4:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Drew and I like to hear that because
4:26
Speaker 5: I'm with you, and I think Harrison maybe could have
4:30
Speaker 5: been foreseen earlier in the year. We talked a little
4:32
Speaker 5: bit more about it with miz Now he's just been
4:34
Speaker 5: so dominant that you almost feel like you're throwing a
4:36
Speaker 5: lot of that stuff out the window. But these guys
4:39
Speaker 5: are still twenty four to twenty three young guys who
4:42
Speaker 5: you have to build up wherever their innings end up
4:44
Speaker 5: getting to and uncharted territory is the best way of
4:48
Speaker 5: putting it.
4:48
Speaker 1: Here.
4:49
Speaker 5: Late into the year, he's been on teams that haven't
4:51
Speaker 5: been contending this way, and now he's getting different level
4:54
Speaker 5: of scouty reports on him by major league clubs because
4:57
Speaker 5: he's been so good, and it does I think, I
5:00
Speaker 5: think it further cements their their place that they need
5:02
Speaker 5: starting pitching. And I would be I would be hesitant
5:07
Speaker 5: to think that you would look at a season, look
5:10
Speaker 5: at an opportunity and think there'd be a better one
5:13
Speaker 5: than the club has in front of them right now.
5:14
Speaker 5: I mean the way that the Dodgers and Brewers have
5:17
Speaker 5: separated themselves in the NL, and how close you were
5:20
Speaker 5: last year, and the position players that have gotten significantly
5:24
Speaker 5: better from a year ago. For the entire one sixty
5:26
Speaker 5: two just feels like a great time to capitalize. And
5:30
Speaker 5: nothing is locked in yet. I mean, six game lead
5:32
Speaker 5: is always a nice one to have, but you you
5:35
Speaker 5: definitely need some more reinforcements, and I'd be interested to
5:37
Speaker 5: see if some of them come a little sooner rather
5:39
Speaker 5: than later.
5:40
Speaker 4: Kyle Harrison's career high for innings in his brief big
5:44
Speaker 4: league career one hundred and twenty four. He's at eighty
5:47
Speaker 4: three right now.
5:48
Speaker 3: And what is it like a twenty twenty five inning increase? Thirty?
5:53
Speaker 3: Is it a percentage thing?
5:55
Speaker 4: Actually, guys, you know, it's that's generally it. He just
6:00
Speaker 4: got to be careful with young arms, protect him, you know,
6:03
Speaker 4: and he's twenty four and he's quite the assets.
6:06
Speaker 2: Oh big time.
6:06
Speaker 4: Going to be high side of caution, but hopefully it's
6:09
Speaker 4: you know, he's pitching through it, which is good, but
6:11
Speaker 4: if he's pitching ineffectively, and giving a short starts not good, right,
6:15
Speaker 4: and we'll see how he comes back after the break.
6:17
Speaker 4: But yeah, these guys and again when you get that's
6:20
Speaker 4: why I'm looking at I'm starting to think about guys
6:23
Speaker 4: like I just saw Erlander do his presser and announce
6:25
Speaker 4: that he's stepping out. Farewell, no doubt now that will
6:29
Speaker 4: he want to finish in you know where he is?
6:31
Speaker 4: Will he want to have the farewell to her? If
6:33
Speaker 4: they're not in it? Like does he want to go
6:34
Speaker 4: to a contender and have one last shot? Does he
6:36
Speaker 4: want to ring Chase?
6:38
Speaker 2: That'll be interesting, but that would be awesome.
6:40
Speaker 4: And Scoobl's the special case because he's you know, not
6:43
Speaker 4: going to probably sign back to Detroit, so they kind
6:45
Speaker 4: of might might feel a janis rush to get some
6:47
Speaker 4: assets for him to try to do something that they
6:49
Speaker 4: can there's and Schooble has been a pipe dream, but
6:52
Speaker 4: the Burs have the assets to get him. It's it's like,
6:54
Speaker 4: do you want to give them up for a rental?
6:56
Speaker 4: But one of the it's a double edged thing with
6:58
Speaker 4: that though, because the calculus is, well, yeah, we can
7:01
Speaker 4: get him and it'll help us and we'll give up stuff.
7:03
Speaker 4: But if we don't get them the Dodgers, Well we'll
7:05
Speaker 4: have to run up against the Dodgers.
7:07
Speaker 3: Take them on.
7:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it's a preventative deal, not because of
7:14
Speaker 5: just the the the pitching side of it, but it
7:16
Speaker 5: will become a little bit of an arms race. Like
7:18
Speaker 5: you do have to look at those two teams that
7:21
Speaker 5: you're gonna and and I think the Phillies are going
7:23
Speaker 5: to be there as well. That the Braves have kind
7:24
Speaker 5: of slid down and they're dinged up, no doubt about it.
7:26
Speaker 5: They've got a lot of injuries. Cubs need them, need them.
7:31
Speaker 5: The Dodgers always seem to need them. So like there
7:33
Speaker 5: there does feel like you almost want them, so everybody
7:36
Speaker 5: else doesn't happen.
7:37
Speaker 4: What is your but here's the thing, then, what is
7:39
Speaker 4: your schooble package? Well that's the tough part school package.
7:43
Speaker 4: Like I'm thinking, this.
7:44
Speaker 3: Is full rental all the way.
7:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a full rental, but you gotta get and
7:47
Speaker 4: you're gonna be competing.
7:48
Speaker 2: It's a full rental. Yeah. It's a hot market though
7:50
Speaker 2: for a But if.
7:51
Speaker 4: I say I trade young outfielder Brail and pain, okay,
7:55
Speaker 4: prospect Logan Henderson big league a ready arm.
8:01
Speaker 2: In the big league ready arm.
8:04
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's a when you add salad there, that's
8:07
Speaker 3: a pretty price to give up.
8:08
Speaker 4: That's a that's a major league plug and play, a
8:10
Speaker 4: guy that becomes your outfielder. People, you got a major
8:15
Speaker 4: league ready starter and an outfield prospect.
8:20
Speaker 5: I mean, I think I think they say that's not enough,
8:21
Speaker 5: but bursts like that's way too steep. I think that'd
8:25
Speaker 5: be somewhat of a competitive offer and like it. It
8:28
Speaker 5: also depends on if it happens a little earlier, because
8:31
Speaker 5: from everything I'm reading Drew, the more and more people
8:34
Speaker 5: are trying to have into these offers and build into
8:36
Speaker 5: these offers are the first and second round competitive balance
8:39
Speaker 5: picks that are coming up later on this week in
8:41
Speaker 5: the draft. And how they've moved around this calendar in
8:44
Speaker 5: baseball has made this kind of difficult. Like at this point,
8:48
Speaker 5: at this point, everybody would be in all trade mode
8:51
Speaker 5: for the longest time because the draft would have been
8:53
Speaker 5: what a month behind us used to be the June Draft,
8:56
Speaker 5: and now you're not even draft. They wanted to try
8:58
Speaker 5: to spice it up making a tele vision of entering
9:00
Speaker 5: All Star Week, and I don't necessarily know that it
9:02
Speaker 5: is but I think that would be competitive. I think
9:06
Speaker 5: you would have to add a little bit more Freelix.
9:09
Speaker 5: Freelix the interesting one though, because he does have obviously,
9:13
Speaker 5: you know, some pelts on the wall at the big
9:15
Speaker 5: league level, and you can say guys are are locked
9:19
Speaker 5: in and entrenched and a part of the fabric and
9:21
Speaker 5: a part of the core, and this is who we're about. Well,
9:23
Speaker 5: they didn't say the exact same thing about Caleb Durban,
9:25
Speaker 5: and we haven't missed that guy at all.
9:27
Speaker 2: Not at all.
9:27
Speaker 3: Well, Isa said Collins, don't forget even and you're right,
9:29
Speaker 3: even though he's a fan favorite and you've someone and
9:31
Speaker 3: visited some emotional energy and sal you're right, Billy, I mean,
9:35
Speaker 3: there is nothing is forever. And and the way you
9:37
Speaker 3: look at things shaking out the way Garrett has emerged
9:40
Speaker 3: this year and Luis Laura being up sale kind of
9:44
Speaker 3: projects the fourth outfielder. I mean he might.
9:51
Speaker 2: Last night.
9:51
Speaker 3: I mean, but but but you have to really think
9:54
Speaker 3: about the fact that you were gonna have to give up.
9:56
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to give up some guys you like
9:59
Speaker 3: if you want to try and trade for really good players,
10:02
Speaker 3: and you do have this glood of talent, but you
10:04
Speaker 3: can't keep them all or there you can't.
10:06
Speaker 4: Play, you give up, I mean, do you have to
10:08
Speaker 4: throw in a painia well?
10:09
Speaker 2: And that that.
10:10
Speaker 5: Was the first name that I wrote down was Louis
10:12
Speaker 5: Payne because right now he's what fifteenth thirteenth in in
10:15
Speaker 5: Baseball America perspective in that that range, there's been questions
10:18
Speaker 5: about what his health is at, but.
10:19
Speaker 2: He's what twenty one years old?
10:20
Speaker 5: Twenty years old, like, there's there's obvious time for that
10:22
Speaker 5: to get cleared up. The talent is is pretty wild.
10:26
Speaker 4: I always think you also got those spots like that's covered, like.
10:29
Speaker 2: You know, right, And that's the thing. There's only certain
10:32
Speaker 2: you know, there's only so many guys that can play exactly.
10:34
Speaker 5: I had just I put together right next to each
10:36
Speaker 5: other online one Paynia and Williams, and I don't know
10:40
Speaker 5: if if both and then something I think both is
10:44
Speaker 5: a heck of a core of a package that you're giving.
10:46
Speaker 5: I mean, that's two top one hundred prospects, and I
10:49
Speaker 5: think that's what gets it done. But there's the guys
10:52
Speaker 5: that are untouchable. Are the ones that I think are
10:54
Speaker 5: pretty much for every team. Hazius, my Day and Fisher
10:57
Speaker 5: would be the only two that I would be really
11:00
Speaker 5: edison to give up because those are the only two
11:02
Speaker 5: that I've seen now do something against the major league
11:05
Speaker 5: pitching right like we've seen we saw my day all
11:08
Speaker 5: spring training, and granted at spring training you can't take
11:11
Speaker 5: a lot of those results, but just playing against big
11:14
Speaker 5: leaguers all camp, right like extended run because of the
11:17
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic gain and and Fisher the run that
11:19
Speaker 5: he had during the WBC drew. So those two would
11:22
Speaker 5: be the ones that I would hold on a different
11:24
Speaker 5: playing field. And and I have no reservations about letting
11:29
Speaker 5: go any of the guys that you mentioned right there.
11:31
Speaker 5: Logan Henderson might be the toughest one for me, because
11:33
Speaker 5: I'm good, really tantalized with his talent.
11:36
Speaker 2: I like him as well.
11:37
Speaker 3: I think I think the problem is that you'd run
11:40
Speaker 3: into and you can't make decisions this way, but it
11:42
Speaker 3: always comes been. Part of it is I think a
11:44
Speaker 3: lot of fans would look at sal like they looked
11:47
Speaker 3: at Hater. Maybe it's not a great example, but the
11:49
Speaker 3: emotional investment people have had in Salve Freelik is crazy,
11:52
Speaker 3: and I.
11:53
Speaker 2: Don't I don't.
11:54
Speaker 3: When Hater was traded, people went crazy thinking, how can
11:57
Speaker 3: you trade hater at this time of year? Sal not
12:00
Speaker 3: the same impact player, but to some people he feels
12:02
Speaker 3: that way. I think you'd are the some people. You'd
12:05
Speaker 3: get a lot of fans. You would have an emotional backlash.
12:09
Speaker 4: Uh.
12:09
Speaker 3: But trading Sal independent race. I'm not saying it's right.
12:13
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's totally logical. I'm saying you might
12:15
Speaker 3: get some backlash from fans that way. I believe that.
12:18
Speaker 3: I believe people have attached themselves emotionally.
12:20
Speaker 1: This right.
12:21
Speaker 2: That Okay, But that's right, Billy.
12:23
Speaker 5: I know. But if you're but but you're now you're
12:25
Speaker 5: speaking that a group of people are going to compare
12:27
Speaker 5: him to a three time Reliever of the year in
12:30
Speaker 5: the package that they got back there, this one, he's
12:33
Speaker 5: not the best player in the package.
12:34
Speaker 3: People will be pissed. I'm just saying they'd be absolutely up.
12:37
Speaker 5: If they got taryk Scuoble, a back to back cy
12:39
Speaker 5: Young Award winner.
12:40
Speaker 3: I mean about that. Yeah, they'd be happy about that.
12:42
Speaker 3: But people would not want to see salfree Le go
12:44
Speaker 3: in that back.
12:45
Speaker 4: Here here's the cautionary tale, because it was about five
12:48
Speaker 4: years ago. I think I'm pretty sure, the Mets in
12:52
Speaker 4: the race in August, we got we need a boost.
12:55
Speaker 2: They go and trade for Javier Bayaz from him, Yeah,
12:58
Speaker 2: that was a boost, and they.
12:59
Speaker 4: Went got Hovey aer Bias and then they went in
13:01
Speaker 4: the tank. Their season wy for the Rails. Now, this
13:03
Speaker 4: trade was executed by a GM who was thrust into
13:05
Speaker 4: the job because his predecessor had sent some I was
13:07
Speaker 4: gonna say some some lewde sexts to a reporter. So
13:11
Speaker 4: the guy was a little bit over his skis. But
13:14
Speaker 4: Sandy Alderson was the president and they signed off on it,
13:16
Speaker 4: and they traded for Haave Bayaz, and they just gave
13:19
Speaker 4: up an outfield prospect named Pete crow Armstrong, one currently
13:22
Speaker 4: like leading the league in major leagues in war and
13:24
Speaker 4: looks like he's going to be a superstar player for
13:26
Speaker 4: the Cubs. And then Bias bolted for free agency, so
13:29
Speaker 4: he was a rental. He went to the Tigers and
13:31
Speaker 4: they narrators as soon as they made that trade. They
13:35
Speaker 4: went in the tank and finished I think below five hundred.
13:37
Speaker 4: They went from like seven games over and they just phenomenon.
13:40
Speaker 4: So that is one that's like, oh man, yep, not
13:44
Speaker 4: well executed, and that's the cautionary tale, and you can
13:47
Speaker 4: always bring up like, well, they traded Jeff Bagwell, like
13:50
Speaker 4: and you know Boston traded Jeff Bagwell for some you
13:53
Speaker 4: know some Oh.
13:55
Speaker 5: Jordan Alvarez got traded for some back end middle reliever.
13:58
Speaker 5: Always a risk there with those oh ways, always always
14:01
Speaker 5: test he's got traded for James Shields at one particular
14:04
Speaker 5: point in time.
14:04
Speaker 2: But like that was.
14:06
Speaker 5: I also do think Drew that was a few years ago,
14:10
Speaker 5: and it does seem as of late, I think Soto
14:13
Speaker 5: and Mason Miller have been the only guys that have
14:15
Speaker 5: gone in the last five years for a consensus top
14:19
Speaker 5: five prospect. Uh So, so the like my day might
14:23
Speaker 5: not even be a conversation. Everybody knows that that's not
14:26
Speaker 5: going to happen, Right, There's certain guys that you aren't
14:28
Speaker 5: going to have to even bargain against. But when when
14:31
Speaker 5: you're talking about having a one two punch, that starts
14:35
Speaker 5: out with Jacob Mezowski, who's gonna win the side young
14:37
Speaker 5: on the National League side this year and the dude
14:38
Speaker 5: that's wanted on the American League side back to back
14:40
Speaker 5: years and ones from the right side, ones from the left,
14:44
Speaker 5: and both have funky delivery is gonna be difficult for
14:46
Speaker 5: anybody to pick up any You can walk into any
14:49
Speaker 5: series you play and feel like you can be a favorite.
14:52
Speaker 5: That that's that's something that tips the complete scales. And
14:56
Speaker 5: while I have been h you know, quieting down this
15:00
Speaker 5: Google conversation, the part of it that I don't know
15:03
Speaker 5: you can overlook is while yeah, you only get one
15:07
Speaker 5: guy and maybe you need multiple arms and a couple
15:10
Speaker 5: in the bullpen, he helps your bullpen out more than
15:12
Speaker 5: anything else. Yeah, right, Like, I mean the ability that
15:15
Speaker 5: you would have to go a little deeper into some games.
15:17
Speaker 5: If Trek Scoble's taking the ball every fifth day right
15:19
Speaker 5: after miz, your bullpen's going to get a lot more
15:22
Speaker 5: rest and there should be some less opportunities for Aaron
15:26
Speaker 5: Ashby and Avenuer r Rebay to have to come in
15:28
Speaker 5: the fifth or sixth inning to be able to be
15:30
Speaker 5: a fireman. And you should be able to back up
15:32
Speaker 5: that bullpen a little bit better because you're getting some
15:35
Speaker 5: longer starts by one of the best guys in the game.
15:37
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:37
Speaker 3: Man, it is tantalizing to think of a playoff rotation
15:41
Speaker 3: with Miss School Bull Harrison, especially if one of those
15:44
Speaker 3: guys loses effectiveness or loses health or something happens, and
15:48
Speaker 3: you have the depth there, and obviously you have the
15:50
Speaker 3: other guys that the Brew has been rolling with.
15:52
Speaker 2: It's definitely tantalizing.
15:53
Speaker 3: You talk about all the guys, all the teams too
15:55
Speaker 3: that could use him, and I think on that list
15:58
Speaker 3: too is the Tigers. And I think that's what's interesting
16:00
Speaker 3: thing about this is they've won four in a row.
16:02
Speaker 3: If I told you right now who the best run
16:04
Speaker 3: differential in the American League Central is, it's the Tigers.
16:07
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that they're that they're totally sold on
16:10
Speaker 3: being a seller all of a sudden. It's just the
16:14
Speaker 3: Al Central.
16:15
Speaker 4: But they the thing is, if they get somebody back,
16:18
Speaker 4: they could still win without Scooble.
16:20
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Oh yeah.
16:21
Speaker 5: I mean they competed with a large portion of the year,
16:23
Speaker 5: they had to play a large portion of the year
16:24
Speaker 5: without him of his injury.
16:26
Speaker 2: And they're playing better without him.
16:27
Speaker 3: So it's not just Google obviously, but I think that
16:29
Speaker 3: would be an interesting, uh twist in this whole deal
16:32
Speaker 3: because now the White Sox are leading the Central. I
16:35
Speaker 3: think they're two or three, about five hundred. I'm not
16:37
Speaker 3: sure anyone really believes that's gonna last. But in that division,
16:40
Speaker 3: it could. You could win eighty four games and win
16:42
Speaker 3: the Central or eighty three. So I think that's the
16:45
Speaker 3: other factor in this is what they're gonna do, what
16:47
Speaker 3: they're gonna decide to do down the stretch. I still
16:49
Speaker 3: think it'd be kind of organizational malpractice not to move
16:52
Speaker 3: him just because of what you could get for him,
16:54
Speaker 3: And like you said, still try and compete anyway. But
16:57
Speaker 3: it's it's just a little an interesting twist in the
17:00
Speaker 3: trade market when you look at what American League teams
17:03
Speaker 3: are looking at themselves saying, are we a contender or not?
17:05
Speaker 3: And what does it take to be a contender?
17:06
Speaker 2: Now, it's just soreness.
17:07
Speaker 5: It's not an iel stint yet could very much could,
17:10
Speaker 5: We don't necessarily know.
17:11
Speaker 2: Hopefully, hopefully there's hopefully there's a break in here.
17:14
Speaker 5: Say it does result drue next week, right around Wednesday
17:18
Speaker 5: when everyone starts getting back in starting ramping up, rummins
17:21
Speaker 5: come out, Yeah, he's gonna hit the eye l for
17:23
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks. Would that would that to you
17:27
Speaker 5: incentivize or make them feel more pressure to add multiple
17:30
Speaker 5: arms or the one big.
17:32
Speaker 2: Fish I think they're looking at multiple anyway for sure. Oh,
17:36
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. I think that they're scouting
17:38
Speaker 2: that out. I got again.
17:39
Speaker 4: I got my eyes on a guy, a main guy,
17:42
Speaker 4: and then like the secondary guy, the geo Gunzales guy,
17:46
Speaker 4: the the Michael Waka type. Guy's a good name, Michael
17:49
Speaker 4: Waka thirty five pitching for the Royals.
17:51
Speaker 2: Go get him.
17:51
Speaker 3: He's controllable next year too, right, Yeah.
17:54
Speaker 4: You get him for a year, veteran like he's been
17:56
Speaker 4: through some stuff like that'd be the guy.
17:58
Speaker 2: Uh.
17:59
Speaker 5: There might also be available. But I mean if you're
18:01
Speaker 5: talking about the al central the Twins somehow are ahead
18:04
Speaker 5: of the Tigers in those standings, then that might be
18:06
Speaker 5: harder for them to peel them all.
18:08
Speaker 4: So JT the wingman in Knoxville, via Sussex, did you
18:11
Speaker 4: watch the game last night? If Sal's playing, they win
18:14
Speaker 4: that game. His goal glove right fielding prevents any runs
18:18
Speaker 4: from scoring in the first inning. Lara's defensive experience inexperience
18:22
Speaker 4: was exposed last night. If you want to win, if
18:24
Speaker 4: you want to win it all, you need the gold glove.
18:27
Speaker 4: And JT, I don't know about that, man. Yeah, I mean,
18:30
Speaker 4: first of all, the Brewers did nothing on offense, win
18:34
Speaker 4: any the deficit in the first inning. They did nothing
18:37
Speaker 4: all night. It was like they scored one run. Well,
18:39
Speaker 4: they're not going to win many and they weren't gonna
18:41
Speaker 4: win one to nothing. And okay, yeah, it's the butterfly
18:44
Speaker 4: effect and it does change the course of the game.
18:46
Speaker 4: And but Harrison still might have done a four. Maybe
18:49
Speaker 4: he does a five and dive instead of a four
18:51
Speaker 4: and dive. Right, he's got elbows, horness, And they weren't
18:53
Speaker 4: going to touch the Cardinal.
18:54
Speaker 2: They didn't touch the Cardinals starter all night. You're not
18:57
Speaker 2: going to win.
18:57
Speaker 4: When Churio and contreraso oh fir with a bunch of
19:00
Speaker 4: punch outs like it was just not their night.
19:02
Speaker 3: Right, top four in your lineup had one combined hit
19:05
Speaker 3: and freelick.
19:05
Speaker 4: Big picture, Yeah, love the glove for sure, but I
19:08
Speaker 4: also want more than three homers out of right field. Yeah,
19:11
Speaker 4: And the other thing about all me crazy And maybe
19:14
Speaker 4: Lara is not that power guy, but he's arranged the
19:16
Speaker 4: athletic and he will play good defense, and he will
19:20
Speaker 4: run the bases like sal does.
19:21
Speaker 2: And he's twenty one and not twenty seven.
19:24
Speaker 5: No, and you have seven years on him right like,
19:26
Speaker 5: I mean, you have seven years and guaranteed cash on it.
19:28
Speaker 5: That's the other part of it. And he also, if
19:30
Speaker 5: I'm not mistaken, this is his first Most of his
19:33
Speaker 5: experience in the miners was playing in center, so there's
19:35
Speaker 5: there's something different to that a little bit. Mitchell's been
19:38
Speaker 5: so good in the center that your defensive outfield with Churio,
19:42
Speaker 5: Lara and Mitchell, that's a that's a hell of a front.
19:44
Speaker 5: I get that Freelick's got some belts on the wall,
19:46
Speaker 5: but free play center in the minor leagues too.
19:50
Speaker 3: Come up.
19:50
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I think all of them dance, but.
19:55
Speaker 4: It is different, Like right field's got that slice to it,
19:58
Speaker 4: and it's a it's a little bit different, especially with
20:00
Speaker 4: right handed batters.
20:01
Speaker 3: Oh for sure, in your second major league game.
20:04
Speaker 2: I don't think.
20:04
Speaker 3: There's there's an outdated view of I mean, sal want
20:06
Speaker 3: to go glove two years ago, but since then his
20:08
Speaker 3: defense hasn't been the same.
20:10
Speaker 2: It just hasn't.
20:10
Speaker 3: I mean, he's had a negative defensive war And however,
20:13
Speaker 3: you like that stat that's fine.
20:15
Speaker 2: Just don't know how they make it clear he made
20:18
Speaker 2: no errors.
20:19
Speaker 4: It was like a thousand fielding percentage, so that was
20:21
Speaker 4: pretty pristine and he did that wasn't the year you
20:23
Speaker 4: want to go glove the second year.
20:25
Speaker 2: Just like Yell at early in his career did.
20:26
Speaker 3: But as time went on, people didn't look at his defense,
20:29
Speaker 3: especially I like sad.
20:30
Speaker 2: Yell just want to go glove and people are like,
20:32
Speaker 2: how did that happen? And I wonder he was playing
20:35
Speaker 2: left field.
20:36
Speaker 3: Sal still crashed his walls and stuff like that, but
20:38
Speaker 3: his I don't think his defensive impact has been the
20:41
Speaker 3: same since. Now.
20:41
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he doesn't have the ability to do it,
20:43
Speaker 2: but I don't know.
20:44
Speaker 3: I think that's where people are emotionally attached to what
20:47
Speaker 3: they think Sal is. But the reality is he kind
20:49
Speaker 3: of is a fourth outfielder. You talk about they would
20:52
Speaker 3: have won with the Sally say. I don't believe that either,
20:53
Speaker 3: but I think some people feel that way or think
20:55
Speaker 3: that way, so you might listen, Billy. I think I
20:58
Speaker 3: would do that deal with Sale also personally, because I
21:02
Speaker 3: don't feel the same way about Sal A lot of
21:03
Speaker 3: people do. I don't know how people will react to it,
21:06
Speaker 3: but but we had the talented deal.
21:08
Speaker 5: Yeah. Again, Like I just lung up on the fact
21:12
Speaker 5: that you're you're putting like Josh Hater next to Sal
21:15
Speaker 5: Freelick like that that's the same.
21:17
Speaker 2: I don't think their impacts the same.
21:19
Speaker 4: I know there would because Sal is a popular player
21:23
Speaker 4: and they got they got number ten jerseys, and you
21:25
Speaker 4: have to explain it to the youngster.
21:26
Speaker 2: They'll figure out.
21:27
Speaker 3: There would be a lot of fans and I'll say,
21:29
Speaker 3: maybe more casual that would look at say you are
21:31
Speaker 3: not serious about winning if you trade.
21:33
Speaker 2: No, they're not.
21:35
Speaker 5: You see, now this this angers me because this is
21:37
Speaker 5: insulting to Brewers fans. Well, what you're saying then is
21:41
Speaker 5: that you don't understand what you just got back. You
21:44
Speaker 5: just got back one of the three best pitchers in
21:46
Speaker 5: the game, unquestioned for the last four years, who's won
21:49
Speaker 5: the cy Young back to back seasons.
21:51
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, like, I hope you're right, because I
21:54
Speaker 3: believe that I agree with you on that it'd be
21:56
Speaker 3: exciting to have Trek scooble And I say, okay, great.
21:58
Speaker 5: We have the other part of the Hater deal that
22:00
Speaker 5: also gets very quietly forgotten about when you're talking about
22:03
Speaker 5: how the bad reaction to it was. The other question was, wait,
22:06
Speaker 5: so you just traded for one of the guys and
22:08
Speaker 5: then you cut him twenty four hours later, like there
22:10
Speaker 5: was a lot of wax he built up, and Taylor
22:12
Speaker 5: Rodgers came in and stunk like indeed indeed the second.
22:16
Speaker 2: Best closer than the game. What they fired.
22:21
Speaker 3: About a whole lot different deal. But he came in
22:23
Speaker 3: was brutal.
22:23
Speaker 5: If he was the what he could have, what he
22:25
Speaker 5: should have been, or what he was in the first
22:26
Speaker 5: half of that year, his numbers were pretty pretty close
22:29
Speaker 5: and pretty comparable to what Hater had put up.
22:31
Speaker 2: And that's always the danger too, of trading for rentals.
22:33
Speaker 3: It's like you you get excited thinking this could be
22:35
Speaker 3: the CC, but you know there have been a lot
22:38
Speaker 3: of guys, and you mentioned that Drew during this segment,
22:39
Speaker 3: there are a lot of guys that didn't come through
22:41
Speaker 3: the bias. Even so, school School's not going to be
22:43
Speaker 3: a Jonathan scope, hope not.
22:45
Speaker 5: No. I mean there there's certain players that you can
22:48
Speaker 5: tell they're gonna they're gonna get the opportunity. I mean,
22:50
Speaker 5: look at what he did in that game, in that
22:52
Speaker 5: playoff game last year when he walked into Cleveland and
22:54
Speaker 5: just laid it out on the table after they got
22:56
Speaker 5: they got came back on what thirteen fourteen games? They said,
22:59
Speaker 5: excuse us, Yeah, we're gonna win this quick three game
23:01
Speaker 5: series and get up out of here.
23:02
Speaker 2: But what the outfielders you have?
23:03
Speaker 3: And you think you're gonna have the Brewers really don't
23:06
Speaker 3: need Sal in the field. I mean he's you know,
23:09
Speaker 3: you like having him, but he don't need him, you.
23:11
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, exactly. Hey, that's something you got to wrap
23:13
Speaker 2: your brain around.
23:14
Speaker 4: Eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one ninety seven three
23:17
Speaker 4: is the Nicolay Law dot Com Talk textan and we're
23:19
Speaker 4: gonna hear Hunter Bombguard's recap of last night's kind of
23:22
Speaker 4: lackluster game at Bush Stadium, and Hunter joins us Live
23:27
Speaker 4: today at seven twenty five.
23:28
Speaker 2: Get his thoughts.
23:29
Speaker 4: He's a South Freelick fan, but everything's on the table
23:31
Speaker 4: when you're trying to win a damn World Series.
23:33
Speaker 2: Win the World Series, man, and if you trade him,
23:35
Speaker 2: people might be mad. If you win the World Series.
23:36
Speaker 3: Sal who Yeah, I think we'll forget about it.
23:39
Speaker 2: It's the thing.
23:40
Speaker 5: No, they'll go back in thirty We're gonna standing ovation.
23:43
Speaker 5: When he comes back and win the series.
23:45
Speaker 2: He'll get a ring.
23:45
Speaker 3: In thirty years. People will think he was on that
23:47
Speaker 3: team during the.
23:48
Speaker 4: Just like Aaron Savali would have gotten a ring last year,
23:51
Speaker 4: had a standing ovation.
23:52
Speaker 3: Hey, best thing he did was bring us Andrew vaugh
23:54
Speaker 3: Just like four percent of Packer fans realized Paul Warning
23:57
Speaker 3: and Jim Taylor weren't on the Ice Bowl team.
23:59
Speaker 2: That's it.
23:59
Speaker 3: Well, you don't they When you go back in history
24:01
Speaker 3: and look at it, you're not gonna remember that.
24:04
Speaker 4: All right, We're off and running. We love our five

24:35
Speaker 4: I didn't realize I kicked a hornet, says I know
24:37
Speaker 4: sALS a popular player. I just threw out there as
24:39
Speaker 4: a possibility because in order to get something, you got
24:41
Speaker 4: to give something, and giving up a guy who's an
24:44
Speaker 4: established major league starter on a've established really good team
24:48
Speaker 4: and has a gold Glove on his resume would be
24:51
Speaker 4: an attractive piece. And I think that's one of the
24:53
Speaker 4: brewers of the current guys who contribute. You're not trading contrarasts, no, right, Vaughn, Like,
25:01
Speaker 4: there's definitely not trading there for like a David Hamilton,
25:05
Speaker 4: who's a valuable piece and a utility guy.
25:08
Speaker 3: So like that's why I thought, Jef, I mean it
25:10
Speaker 3: was kind of made.
25:11
Speaker 4: Well, what Okay, Let's say someone has their eye on
25:13
Speaker 4: Garrett Mitchell. You want to trade him. He's young, cheap, controllable,
25:17
Speaker 4: has been hurt a lot, but he looks like he
25:18
Speaker 4: could emerge. Like that would be on the table too.
25:22
Speaker 4: I think if someone said they want him because he's
25:24
Speaker 4: a former first round pick. So Salad yep, so is
25:26
Speaker 4: Sally and both of both of them first round picks,
25:28
Speaker 4: and you got kind of a glut of outfielder outfield talent.
25:31
Speaker 5: But they're both arbitration eligible and twenty seven sal technically
25:36
Speaker 5: a free agent thirty instead of twenty nine for Mitchell.
25:40
Speaker 5: I think sal is probably a more attractive trade piece
25:47
Speaker 5: because of the lack of injury history. However, I think
25:49
Speaker 5: the on field production the play more people be tantalized
25:52
Speaker 5: by what Mitchell could possibly do.
25:55
Speaker 2: Agree with that. I mean, he sells a character guy.
25:57
Speaker 2: We know he's a great He's got a great rep,
25:59
Speaker 2: sterling rep. So that's it.
26:00
Speaker 4: That And I'm not saying that I don't like him
26:02
Speaker 4: or that you can't win with him, because they clearly can.
26:04
Speaker 2: But you got to give something up to get something.
26:06
Speaker 5: This is the difficult part of like uh in different sports,
26:09
Speaker 5: I know, but the Jalen Brown conversation.
26:11
Speaker 2: Where yes, it it.
26:14
Speaker 5: I understand it is difficult and has to be difficult
26:17
Speaker 5: hearing your name be attached to conversations.
26:20
Speaker 2: But there's also a level of.
26:22
Speaker 5: Uh cachet I think in credit that you can take
26:24
Speaker 5: as the player is saying, oh, people want they're throwing
26:27
Speaker 5: my name around in trade conversations because for a dude
26:30
Speaker 5: that won back to back cy Young's yeah, yeah, for
26:33
Speaker 5: a guy that won two MVPs. If you're Jalen Brown,
26:35
Speaker 5: there's a lot worse conversations that you could be a
26:38
Speaker 5: part of, exactly.
26:39
Speaker 4: And I know that there's there's that element of it
26:41
Speaker 4: because guys would be like, well, why don't they want
26:43
Speaker 4: to keep me?
26:43
Speaker 2: They don't want to keep you. The flip side of that,
26:44
Speaker 2: somebody else wants you.
26:45
Speaker 5: Somebody else wants you a bad you know, it's a compliment, Yeah,
26:48
Speaker 5: it is, it's the that's the flip of it. Well
26:51
Speaker 5: eight seven seven seven nine four one seven three Janny
26:53
Speaker 5: and Appleton saidrew, no, not sal I would hate to
26:56
Speaker 5: see him go. Would that be a major clubhouse shake up?
26:59
Speaker 5: We'll see right leaving for Pittsburgh in the morning as
27:01
Speaker 5: they drive out to go see the crew go Coreatchany
27:03
Speaker 5: and Appleton number fifteen, ye.
27:04
Speaker 4: And I hope they give you better shows than they
27:06
Speaker 4: did last night, because last night was a show about nothing.
27:08
Speaker 4: That was a tough one, but that guy shoved, Like
27:11
Speaker 4: this one of those nights where that guy he might
27:14
Speaker 4: give up ten in his next start, but he shoved
27:16
Speaker 4: last night, and you just tip your cap and move
27:18
Speaker 4: on to the next day.
27:19
Speaker 2: That's baseball.
27:19
Speaker 3: That's the Mike McGreevy. This is a little big league reference.
27:23
Speaker 3: That's the Mike McGreevy that showed up after Billy Hay.
27:26
Speaker 3: Would have to talk with him if you can a
27:28
Speaker 3: little big league Okay, Mike McGreevy, the starter in that movie.
27:32
Speaker 3: That's as much as I'll go with that reference. I
27:34
Speaker 3: just think it's funny because if there are some people
27:36
Speaker 3: that will still look you in the eye and say
27:39
Speaker 3: the downfall of the Bucks was trading Drew Holliday after
27:41
Speaker 3: we all witnessed what Jimmy Butler did to him in
27:44
Speaker 3: that playoff run. Like, I think I thought we all
27:46
Speaker 3: were kind of on board saying, Okay, Drew's time has
27:49
Speaker 3: done being a second piece on a contender or a
27:51
Speaker 3: third piece, but there are still people now the fourth piece, Okay,
27:55
Speaker 3: yeah for the Bucks. Yeah, okay, we could argue that.
27:58
Speaker 3: I think you'll probably have a good point there, Lopez
28:01
Speaker 3: Hill Pez. Obviously Lopez is a factor too, so but
28:04
Speaker 3: like people will still look at you and say, well,
28:05
Speaker 3: we never should trade Drew. See what happened when we
28:07
Speaker 3: traded Drew for Dame, and never should It's like you
28:10
Speaker 3: obviously try that, you after what happened with Drew, and
28:13
Speaker 3: you obviously try and make that move for a guy
28:15
Speaker 3: like Dame. I don't think there's any question, but people
28:17
Speaker 3: will still look at it and say that that was
28:19
Speaker 3: the emotional hit and the emotional toll for the bucks.
28:21
Speaker 3: I don't believe it, but I just think people will
28:23
Speaker 3: still will still believe that. So if something does go wrong,
28:27
Speaker 3: that move would be kind of blamefable. But listen, you
28:29
Speaker 3: gotta take your shots too. What happens if you sit
28:32
Speaker 3: around saying, well, we lost the Dodgers again in the playoffs,
28:35
Speaker 3: but maybe maybe Tark School would have taken us over
28:37
Speaker 3: the top and sal went I don't know, like three
28:41
Speaker 3: for twenty in the series anyway, you know what I mean.
28:43
Speaker 3: So that's the that's the decisions that keep.
28:47
Speaker 2: You up as night as a GM and you're Matt
28:48
Speaker 2: Arnold and things.
28:49
Speaker 5: Like Jeffrey and Milwaukee. That hurts me to my core
28:53
Speaker 5: to hear Salvator being named in a trade package for School,
28:55
Speaker 5: But I would accept it but also curse it. So
28:59
Speaker 5: at least there's I like the duality where that is,
29:02
Speaker 5: I think Jeffrey has the right thought. That would hurt,
29:04
Speaker 5: that would feel, But the best packages on both sides,
29:07
Speaker 5: both teams think that they gave up too much, that's right, right,
29:10
Speaker 5: that's generally when it's a good trade on both sides,
29:13
Speaker 5: that's right.
29:13
Speaker 4: And you're attached to the guys you've seen in the
29:15
Speaker 4: big leagues, like no one knows about Luis Paigner or
29:19
Speaker 4: Jet Williams if they're not as attached like those are
29:21
Speaker 4: just okay, Well ge get rid of anybody in the
29:22
Speaker 4: minor leagues.
29:23
Speaker 5: Well no, yeah, that's where Payne like all due respect
29:28
Speaker 5: to the Lawrence E. High School product, I am thinking back, like, dude,
29:33
Speaker 5: I'll due respect to to what we got going on
29:35
Speaker 5: in Houston text. I'm not that worried about the nineteen
29:37
Speaker 5: year old, but he could turn out to be as
29:39
Speaker 5: a former first round pick, better than the other two
29:41
Speaker 5: outfielders that we just mentioned that were first round picks
29:43
Speaker 5: and Garrett Mitchell and South Freelich.
29:45
Speaker 2: But you haven't seen him.
29:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, Troy on YouTube, is vaugh possibly up for grabs
29:50
Speaker 3: with Bauers not being able to play every day in outfield?
29:53
Speaker 3: Now I kind of understand, though, is Vaughan what is
29:56
Speaker 3: Vaughan up possibly up for grabs with Bauer? Well, you
30:00
Speaker 3: have to look at Vaughan as a as an option against.
30:03
Speaker 2: Does Vaughan have value? What do you mean, like for
30:06
Speaker 2: for trading Andrew. I think that's what he means possibly
30:08
Speaker 2: up for grabs.
30:10
Speaker 4: I mean, I just well, he doesn't have the value
30:12
Speaker 4: that a Salfred Lick would have right.
30:13
Speaker 2: I agree with that, Nick and west Bend.
30:15
Speaker 5: I'm just happy the man of the people arm and
30:17
Speaker 5: was proven right that people will be mad. How would
30:19
Speaker 5: you not see that, Billy, I get that you'd be
30:21
Speaker 5: I can't fathom, though, you being to the point where
30:25
Speaker 5: you're yeah, you'd be too busy set about the package.
30:27
Speaker 2: If you'd be.
30:28
Speaker 3: Too busy driving to the team store to buy a
30:30
Speaker 3: school thank you. It's like, that's the funniest thing. That
30:36
Speaker 3: means I wouldn't be that mad. I've never had the
30:39
Speaker 3: emotional pull the salt. No, you've despised the guy since
30:41
Speaker 3: he came up in twenty two. Well he's my twin brother.
30:44
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't think to despise him. But that's funny. Yeah,
30:47
Speaker 3: but there there are some people that would. But you
30:49
Speaker 3: would the schoopl thing would, especially if he crushed, like
30:52
Speaker 3: if he if he had the type of year that
30:54
Speaker 3: Cec did, you, he'd be out. It would be out
30:57
Speaker 3: of our memories quick. It'd be like, thank you, sal
30:58
Speaker 3: But we had to level up.
31:00
Speaker 4: We had to get to the next I mean sure
31:01
Speaker 4: the Brewers would rather trade like a lower level Brock
31:04
Speaker 4: Wilkins the thing for Yes, you'd rather trade, but you
31:06
Speaker 4: gotta give something about something, especially if you're Scooble's the
31:10
Speaker 4: top of the market, you gotta get. Well, that's that's
31:15
Speaker 4: the that's the sort of and the swing the Brewers took.
31:17
Speaker 4: People forget because it was the Brewers clearly won the trade.
31:20
Speaker 4: But Michael Bradley played great for Cleveland.
31:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point, and Matt Laporto.
31:25
Speaker 4: Though the Brewers gave up what they thought was Princefielder's
31:29
Speaker 4: replacement in waiting. They thought he was going to be
31:33
Speaker 4: the guy because they weren't going to be able to
31:34
Speaker 4: afford prints and he was going to be next.
31:36
Speaker 2: And he turned out not to be, and he looked
31:38
Speaker 2: and he was looked at as a lower risk guy.
31:39
Speaker 4: Michael Bradley turned out to be an all star guy
31:41
Speaker 4: who had a pretty good career. And so Cleveland got
31:43
Speaker 4: that out of it, and the Brewers got obviously some
31:46
Speaker 4: you know, otherworldly performances out of cci that catapulted them
31:50
Speaker 4: to their.
31:51
Speaker 2: First playoff berth in twenty five years.
31:53
Speaker 4: In a different sat right now, now the Brewers are
31:56
Speaker 4: we playoffs is the baseline, and now we got to
31:58
Speaker 4: go further and we got to, you know, in the
32:00
Speaker 4: damn series.
32:00
Speaker 5: And this is why you're trying to grab him. This
32:02
Speaker 5: is what he did last year in the playoffs Game
32:04
Speaker 5: one on the road at Cleveland seven and two thirds,
32:07
Speaker 5: three hits, one earned run, walk three, struck out fourteen Guardians.
32:12
Speaker 5: Then the game two start in the DS against the
32:14
Speaker 5: Mariners seven innings, two runs, five hits, nine k's, and
32:18
Speaker 5: then in a decisive Game five that ended up.
32:20
Speaker 2: Going hold on one.
32:22
Speaker 5: Just sec check notes fifteen innings, fifteen innings as to
32:27
Speaker 5: why the Mariners moved on one because of him. Six innings,
32:30
Speaker 5: one run, ball, struck out thirteen members of the Seattle
32:33
Speaker 5: Ball Club last year, and it's decisive Game five on
32:36
Speaker 5: the road, Like you're you're making the move to be
32:39
Speaker 5: able to pitch like that in Dodger Stadium, that way
32:42
Speaker 5: in Citizens Bank, and he would be the dude that
32:43
Speaker 5: would then immediately you can say that miz can can
32:48
Speaker 5: start Game one and the trek Scog will starting Game two,
32:50
Speaker 5: and I feel verty confident that you're winning game this right, Yeah,
32:53
Speaker 5: Like this is that is a move that tips all
32:56
Speaker 5: of the scales in the National League. And there's another
32:58
Speaker 5: reason the way you mentioned it Drew. Everybody d else
33:00
Speaker 5: can be trying to get him as well.
33:01
Speaker 3: There was an a There was an A's team in
33:04
Speaker 3: like and I think it's fourteen, maybe it's fifteen, but
33:06
Speaker 3: fourteen they were they're the best record in baseball at
33:08
Speaker 3: the break, and then they're like, we have to make
33:10
Speaker 3: this move now. And what their best hitter was, Cesspitus,
33:15
Speaker 3: I think, and they went for John Lester and they
33:17
Speaker 3: were never the same after that, And I don't know
33:19
Speaker 3: if that's the reason, but I think a lot of
33:20
Speaker 3: people were corolarry on that. They said, ever since you
33:23
Speaker 3: rocked the boat on the best team in baseball, you
33:25
Speaker 3: were never the same, and then they lost the wildcard game.
33:28
Speaker 3: I think, so. I don't think that's a great example,
33:31
Speaker 3: but I do think there are some examples of cautionary
33:34
Speaker 3: tales where if you are rolling so well, which the
33:37
Speaker 3: Brewers are, I mean, they have one of the best
33:39
Speaker 3: records in baseball right now, do you want to rock
33:42
Speaker 3: the boat that much and trade major league players and
33:45
Speaker 3: not just prospects. I don't think trading prospects is as
33:49
Speaker 3: much rocking a boat to like what the major.
33:51
Speaker 2: League club is doing.
33:53
Speaker 3: I don't want to compare Sally either to the cesspitis
33:56
Speaker 3: because he was like the best slugger on that roster
33:58
Speaker 3: when they traded him. But I just think of all
34:00
Speaker 3: these examples of you can't see the future. You're just
34:03
Speaker 3: trying to project it with the decisions. You're trying to
34:05
Speaker 3: project it with the process. So well, is it better
34:08
Speaker 3: to sit pad and just make moves around the edges
34:10
Speaker 3: and not? Or have we done that enough and say
34:11
Speaker 3: we're gonna go for something harder now because we've been
34:14
Speaker 3: to the playoffs.
34:15
Speaker 5: And maybe I'm overstating the contract part, but I think
34:19
Speaker 5: they've already projected. Yeah, right, like when somebody gets seven
34:24
Speaker 5: years and thirty one million guaranteed before they lace up
34:27
Speaker 5: big league cleads. I think they've projected, and I think
34:29
Speaker 5: they've shown what they're gonna do. And who profiles is
34:32
Speaker 5: one of the longer term guys. That would be the
34:34
Speaker 5: other reason why I think you'd be more expendable Drew,
34:36
Speaker 5: And maybe it maybe it hurts his value in the negotiation.
34:39
Speaker 5: I think he'd be the most fascinating trade piece. Him
34:43
Speaker 5: and Garrett Mitchell won two one A one B would
34:46
Speaker 5: be the most fascinating guys on a negotiating table because
34:49
Speaker 5: you could prop them up as quickly as you could
34:52
Speaker 5: shoot down the tower that you're building them up on,
34:55
Speaker 5: very very quickly. You'll be very fascinating to hear how
34:58
Speaker 5: both sides would talk about those.
35:00
Speaker 4: Brewers put together a package of like five guys for
35:03
Speaker 4: our oldest Chapman and Sonny Gray.
35:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could really go hard at some of these ideas.
35:08
Speaker 5: Like we see if I'm Breg Bresla on the whole,
35:10
Speaker 5: I'm hanging up the phone. I'm hanging up the phone
35:13
Speaker 5: like you are trying to get me fired. Matthew, You're
35:16
Speaker 5: trying to get me fired. But I would love it.
35:18
Speaker 3: Wilson Controllers and their two why not.
35:21
Speaker 2: What the Sophie meme? Or what was that?
35:22
Speaker 3: No, not him, I'm not doing that again, pointing like
35:25
Speaker 3: we're not training with him.
35:27
Speaker 2: I don't care what kind of sorcery.
35:28
Speaker 5: You're four to one four number calls gets here, block it.
35:32
Speaker 3: It's like how many times I don't eat the apple?
35:34
Speaker 3: Like she's giving you the apple, don't eat your app
35:36
Speaker 3: but it's tasty. But Derek and Whitewater, I think is
35:39
Speaker 3: a good point. We may be in first novel Who
35:41
Speaker 3: the Cubs Get, And that's the thing you you have
35:43
Speaker 3: to anticipate in the arms.
35:44
Speaker 4: Grace and you guys were talking about doubt. You gotta
35:46
Speaker 4: be you gotta be at the top of the market
35:48
Speaker 4: right here. They got to be aggressive because you have
35:50
Speaker 4: the assets. You can do it. It's just a matter
35:52
Speaker 4: of just picking the right fit. So uh, Matt Arnold,
35:56
Speaker 4: And it's so unfair that this is happening, like while
35:58
Speaker 4: they're grinding on the draft. It's just so bad that
36:01
Speaker 4: the MLB's calendar is so just.
36:03
Speaker 5: Don't get it, Drew. I mean, we roast the NCAA calendar. Yeah,
36:08
Speaker 5: but this is just as bad. This is bad.
36:10
Speaker 2: I mean, this is brutal.
36:11
Speaker 4: It's like having you know, it's like having free agency.
36:14
Speaker 4: You know, they have the draft and then free agency
36:16
Speaker 4: or free agency then the draft.
36:17
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think I did hear the NFL
36:20
Speaker 5: converting the NFL Draft in mid November. I did think
36:24
Speaker 5: I heard that that was what they were possibly gonna
36:26
Speaker 5: start doing. Classic All right, we're off and running.
36:29
Speaker 4: When we come back, we're gonna hear Hunter Bombguart's recap
36:31
Speaker 4: of last night's lackluster, flat flatulent performance by the Brewers,
36:35
Speaker 4: and we'll look.
36:36
Speaker 2: Ahead to tonight's game.
36:38
Speaker 4: Series finale, and then Hunter joins us live at seven
36:41
Speaker 4: twenty five.
36:42
Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts about what he loves him someself.
36:44
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I think Hunter is gonna stew
36:46
Speaker 5: on this one for a little while, right, that's right,
36:48
Speaker 5: you're in the.
36:48
Speaker 4: Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, huddled up on a Thursday, Drew,
36:56
Speaker 4: Billy and arm and bringing it to you. Takes a
36:58
Speaker 4: village to put on this program. Him and one of
37:00
Speaker 4: our key contributors in this little village of ours, this
37:02
Speaker 4: Hunter bomb Guard who covers the Brewers for us home
37:06
Speaker 4: and away and provides updates for us. He's gonna join
37:09
Speaker 4: us live at seven twenty five as we're starting to
37:11
Speaker 4: already because the last night's game was so flat that
37:14
Speaker 4: it gets you, gets you daydreaming about and not only
37:17
Speaker 4: the flat though, yes, also that you know. Kyle Harrison's
37:21
Speaker 4: been great, but he's got elbow soreness, and Woodroff looks
37:25
Speaker 4: like he's I'm putting him in the dun club man.
37:28
Speaker 2: I'm done, Like.
37:28
Speaker 4: Well, he's I don't think he's coming back to pitch
37:31
Speaker 4: meaningful innings for the Brewers this year because because it was.
37:34
Speaker 5: New injury to the capsule area injury to the anterior
37:37
Speaker 5: capsule that sidelined him, and it's like, it looks like
37:40
Speaker 5: that's gonna be this might be it.
37:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only capsule we're looking forward to him is
37:43
Speaker 3: a time capsule exactly.
37:46
Speaker 4: And I love Brandon wood If as much as everybody
37:49
Speaker 4: else does. I just don't think he's going to throw
37:51
Speaker 4: another pitch for the Brewers this year. So they need
37:54
Speaker 4: started that that Invan couldn't make it. The Bobble increases
37:58
Speaker 4: the urgency the Brewers, and I thought they needed at
38:00
Speaker 4: least one, if not two, starting arms anyway. So we'll
38:04
Speaker 4: get to that with Hunter later, but let's throw it
38:06
Speaker 4: right now. Hunter Bombgert and his recap brought to us
38:09
Speaker 4: by import minded Hunter take it away.
38:12
Speaker 7: The Brewers fall five to one to the Cardinals last night.
38:15
Speaker 7: It's their first loss against the Cardinals since early May,
38:19
Speaker 7: and Kyle Harrison with another short start, he goes his
38:22
Speaker 7: four innings, Bruis manager Pat Murphy after the game, saying
38:24
Speaker 7: it a little soreness in his arm, and he can
38:27
Speaker 7: see he's clearly fatigued. As of course, the All Star
38:30
Speaker 7: break is near. That was his last start before the
38:32
Speaker 7: All Star break. But they don't think he's injured, but
38:35
Speaker 7: they can see that the first half has kind of
38:38
Speaker 7: worn on him a little bit, so they didn't want
38:39
Speaker 7: to risk anything and took him out after four innings.
38:42
Speaker 7: He was roughed up a little bit in those four innings,
38:45
Speaker 7: giving up three earned runs, and then of course the
38:47
Speaker 7: two run homer late by the Cardinals put it at
38:50
Speaker 7: a five to nothing lead. Then the Brewers rallied a
38:53
Speaker 7: little bit. Vaughn was up with two men on, he
38:56
Speaker 7: was pinch hitting. They of course could have went to
38:58
Speaker 7: Bryce Terrang there, but Bruis managed. Pat Murphy said he
39:01
Speaker 7: was trying to get Bryce Terrang a full day off
39:04
Speaker 7: as an end of day off in a while. Played
39:06
Speaker 7: both games of the doubleheader yesterday, so gave him the
39:08
Speaker 7: day off. Would expect him to be back in the
39:10
Speaker 7: lineup tonight for the series finale. Brewers trying to take
39:14
Speaker 7: four out of five at Bush Stadium against the Cardinals.
39:17
Speaker 7: Luis Laura made a nice diving catch, was busy early
39:21
Speaker 7: in that game, took a tough one off the face
39:23
Speaker 7: as well, but got another hit as well, and Cooper
39:26
Speaker 7: Pratt looks to be finding it a little bit at
39:28
Speaker 7: the plate. Of course, Mitchell stayed hot two. Our tease
39:31
Speaker 7: was on with the double and Yelich got on base
39:33
Speaker 7: a couple of times last night as well. So some
39:35
Speaker 7: positives despite the loss, and the Brewers with Logan Henderson
39:39
Speaker 7: returning from the il tonight, he'll take them out six
39:42
Speaker 7: to forty five first pitch. I'll have you for the
39:43
Speaker 7: baseball pregame show at five point thirty on Fox Sports
39:46
Speaker 7: nine twenty and our social channels. This report brought to
39:49
Speaker 7: you by Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle
39:51
Speaker 7: care on Sound twenty seventh, just north of eight ninety four.
39:54
Speaker 7: I'll talk to you guys more about the crew at
39:56
Speaker 7: seven to twenty five.
39:56
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Thank you, Hunter, very well done
40:00
Speaker 2: as always.
40:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know you just you see the amount
40:05
Speaker 5: of conversation online. Joe said Sal should not be untouchable.
40:10
Speaker 5: My man Troy on Twitter in response to would you
40:13
Speaker 5: include south Freelick in a trade package Trek Scooble, Troy
40:17
Speaker 5: said yes, and I'd pay for his uber to the airport.
40:20
Speaker 2: The other thing I like this is so there's a
40:22
Speaker 2: number of different ways.
40:23
Speaker 5: I think there's some Brewers fans that are feeling more
40:25
Speaker 5: like our friend Jane who said no, don't think about that.
40:28
Speaker 5: And then there's others that said I can't wait to
40:31
Speaker 5: see him, like our friend Derek and Whitewater Audio sal.
40:34
Speaker 3: This is a and he also isn't not.
40:37
Speaker 2: The headliner or the package would he be?
40:40
Speaker 5: Like the package that Drew mentioned to start out, was
40:42
Speaker 5: Braylan paying first round pick from a year ago or
40:44
Speaker 5: two years ago? I think I think a year ago.
40:46
Speaker 5: He's in low a ball or high a ball right
40:49
Speaker 5: now with nineteen years old Ken so far in a ball,
40:54
Speaker 5: good Logan Henderson coming off the aisle as well in
40:57
Speaker 5: South Freelick, and I think both teams might say that's
41:00
Speaker 5: too much or not enough. On the Tiger side, they
41:03
Speaker 5: would want more Brewers probably wouldn't want to give up more.
41:06
Speaker 5: Henderson might be the most appealing one, and and who
41:08
Speaker 5: knows him and Coleman Crow a race to get back
41:11
Speaker 5: and see who can get off the entured list to
41:13
Speaker 5: get some innings in here, because.
41:15
Speaker 2: You're in a spot where you desperately need some.
41:16
Speaker 4: If Coleman Crow gets back and pitching like he could
41:19
Speaker 4: be a name that you hear thrown in a trade.
41:21
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's like you got to explore every avenue man.
41:24
Speaker 5: The other one that I think is interesting. Greg on
41:27
Speaker 5: the YouTube comment said, raise or Brewers. No other wants
41:31
Speaker 5: to answer that call when you end up on the
41:34
Speaker 5: other side of the trade. However, I think the Rais
41:35
Speaker 5: and Brewers are probably the two teams that Major League
41:38
Speaker 5: Baseball is watching in this one because both of them
41:41
Speaker 5: would have the ammunition, yeah, to make the move and
41:44
Speaker 5: still feel like they're okay.
41:45
Speaker 4: Grabbing somebody from the Brewers farm system at this juncture
41:48
Speaker 4: would seem like a good move because they have.
41:50
Speaker 2: A pretty good farm system. I have a lot of players.
41:54
Speaker 3: It seems like a good system.
41:55
Speaker 2: Play yeah, they say, exactly, well done.
41:58
Speaker 3: Harmon, Well, it just seems like, I mean the way
42:01
Speaker 3: they're doing it, and it's funny. I just saw Caleb
42:03
Speaker 3: making a top ten play last night. His numbers have
42:06
Speaker 3: gotten better and better as the year went on, so
42:08
Speaker 3: that's been better for the Red. So even a guy
42:10
Speaker 3: like him who's been settling look at by a failure, Yes,
42:12
Speaker 3: settling in close to seven hundred o pps. Now his
42:15
Speaker 3: war's up around two. So nice to see Caleb doing it.
42:18
Speaker 3: So Brewers prospects and talent have been doing it. There's
42:21
Speaker 3: no question.
42:21
Speaker 2: Baseball is the long View.
42:23
Speaker 4: Man, He's like, you can look horrible for a month
42:25
Speaker 4: or two and then you know you'd end up regressing.
42:28
Speaker 5: And now, all of a sudden, in the month of
42:30
Speaker 5: for the week that we've been in July, Joey Ortiz
42:32
Speaker 5: looks like the best player on the team.
42:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right. Since Cooper Pratt came up, he's
42:39
Speaker 2: a reborn. Now he's a major league player.
42:41
Speaker 3: I'm calling him the weapon, now the we He's the weapon,
42:44
Speaker 3: all the best.
42:45
Speaker 2: That's a classic sort All right, we're off.
42:47
Speaker 4: And running, having some fun. On Thursday, chopping it up.
42:52
Speaker 4: We'll have Dolph join us at six twenty five hundred,
42:54
Speaker 4: bomb Guard at seven twenty five. We're settled in today,
42:58
Speaker 4: it's the Huddle. Fox Sportsdio, Wisconsin,
