Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Bringing it to you on this hot take hump day,
- 0:03Speaker 1: we are gonna have to pick through another Brewers loss, this.
- 0:07Speaker 2: One who.
- 0:10Speaker 1: This one was not kind of like gut punched, the
- 0:14Speaker 1: one that got away. This got away. This got ugly
- 0:16Speaker 1: early and often. Yeah, and you know Drew. The devil
- 0:20Speaker 1: you know, and the devil you don't know can can
- 0:22Speaker 1: be a thing. The devil we thought we knew of
- 0:24Speaker 1: Luis Renhifo was not the man that we saw last night.
- 0:28Speaker 1: In my goodness, gracious, a little change of scenery for
- 0:31Speaker 1: the young man in twenty four games? Was he hitting
- 0:33Speaker 1: three twenty now his third bomb, first career granny, And
- 0:36Speaker 1: unlike on Monday night where the Brewers pitching kept me
- 0:41Speaker 1: awake like a little shot of caffeine, instead they were
- 0:45Speaker 1: a little bit of melatonin last night. Well, easier to
- 0:49Speaker 1: toe off there before the top.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Of the third.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Yeah, those of us who did not stay till the
- 0:54Speaker 1: end missed the chance to see Gary Sanchez pitch.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Right that seat. And that's the thing.
- 0:58Speaker 1: You never know what you're gonna say at the ballpark.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I mean, Wilson returning, and then good God, can't get
- 1:06Speaker 1: he like a bad penny, can't get rid of him well,
- 1:08Speaker 1: and is he gonna he's back and he pitched you
- 1:11Speaker 1: know again Hm, and he's probably gonna meet that same
- 1:14Speaker 1: fate later on today before the matinee, right, I mean,
- 1:17Speaker 1: like with a six man rotation.
- 1:18Speaker 2: They mentioned it when they him the other day.
- 1:21Speaker 1: He might be one of the only guys to pitch
- 1:23Speaker 1: as well as he did in a grand three runs
- 1:25Speaker 1: might not be exactly well, but thirty nine strikes in
- 1:28Speaker 1: the situation at hand, Yeah.
- 1:30Speaker 2: I mean get you the innings.
- 1:31Speaker 1: He might get DFA twice in a week there and
- 1:35Speaker 1: do his job. Hopefully his new deal that he just
- 1:38Speaker 1: signed was protects him from that or gives him the power.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Wasn't that high though, probably not? Or they say, hey,
- 1:45Speaker 2: why don't you just wait?
- 1:46Speaker 1: We're gonna get you this sweet airbnb in air in
- 1:49Speaker 1: l A and we'll let you know when we need you.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I'll sign Yeah, what's he gonna say?
- 1:52Speaker 1: This game flipped because of a triple play that got away.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Mm hm that's right. A better throw a head.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Yeahs hamill into bay two oops, muffed it low throw
- 2:04Speaker 1: muffed well at least, but one that you've become so
- 2:07Speaker 1: accustomed to the Brewers just being able to make well, yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 1: because usually Terraang's in the pivot m hm, Rang's playing
- 2:13Speaker 1: short like everything's discombobulated. That you knew they were gonna
- 2:16Speaker 1: get caught, Like they tried to play Vaughan at third
- 2:18Speaker 1: a couple of days.
- 2:19Speaker 2: They got guys scuffling.
- 2:21Speaker 1: You got you dropped Yellichen Contreras down in the order
- 2:25Speaker 1: for the first time in years.
- 2:26Speaker 2: And that's the thing.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You so banged up in that sense and worn down
- 2:30Speaker 1: with the pitching staff.
- 2:31Speaker 2: It's hard to keep the pace up.
- 2:32Speaker 1: And it's at the end of in a row, the
- 2:35Speaker 1: West Coast trip, and it's a perfect storm of crap.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Yes, yes, when he goes off and it's Grand slams.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean and when you meet sh No
- 2:45Speaker 1: Luis ran Hifoh in the top of the lineup, and
- 2:47Speaker 1: I mean the Padres.
- 2:48Speaker 2: You could have caught them in the.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Beginning of the year and they were warm ass for
- 2:51Speaker 1: the majority of the first two months. And instead now
- 2:54Speaker 1: they've won out grand thanks to two from you. Fourteen
- 2:58Speaker 1: of their last eighteen I believe fourteen and four in
- 3:01Speaker 1: the last eighteen games.
- 3:02Speaker 2: That's an incredible pace.
- 3:04Speaker 1: And it's about when you catch these teams and right
- 3:07Speaker 1: now you're not catching any breaks from the team chasing you,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and you're not getting many breaks on the injury front.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I thought Joey Ortiz would be back last night. When
- 3:17Speaker 1: you see the configuration, you assume not, and they haven't
- 3:22Speaker 1: gotten any luck there and don't want to.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Sound the alarm too much.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Harrison, but when the velocity dips the way
- 3:28Speaker 1: it kind of did in the location was as much
- 3:29Speaker 1: as off as it was last night. Maybe it was
- 3:32Speaker 1: just the flight out west in a different location, but
- 3:34Speaker 1: seemed like there was something going on with him as well.
- 3:37Speaker 1: He was bad against the A's two obviously, and then
- 3:39Speaker 1: it's the home road splits you start looking at for
- 3:41Speaker 1: him that are pretty stark, and you know it is
- 3:44Speaker 1: what it is. He's had a great year, but you know,
- 3:46Speaker 1: obviously it's just not been as good on the road.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So it is a concern, right because you kind of
- 3:51Speaker 1: pencil him in as a big factor down the stretch,
- 3:54Speaker 1: so all of a sudden, if he becomes a question.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Mark, Billy I would agree, it does get you a
- 3:57Speaker 2: little nervous.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So we'll see. That's why they got dustin May. Hopefully
- 4:01Speaker 1: he can bounce back with him today, But Yeah, suddenly
- 4:03Speaker 1: he's in the role of stopper. Yeah, and you want
- 4:06Speaker 1: to talk about strange home road splits. Don't look at
- 4:08Speaker 1: duston May the Brandon new uniform might change it up,
- 4:11Speaker 1: might change it completely up for us, but we'll see
- 4:14Speaker 1: just a different little low on the velo, a couple
- 4:17Speaker 1: of miles, a couple of ticks below on what normally
- 4:19Speaker 1: he's been throwing for Harrison yesterday. And also to the
- 4:24Speaker 1: overturn by tot on the ABS challenge by Tatis.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Big one, big, big bang.
- 4:30Speaker 1: We saw a game end on an ABS challenge a
- 4:33Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and then we see a game
- 4:35Speaker 1: completely flip because if that's strike three, much different story
- 4:38Speaker 1: that we're having. And maybe the Brewers offense actually hits
- 4:41Speaker 1: Walker Buehler or you know, he stays twenty eighteen Walker
- 4:45Speaker 1: Bueler whenever he sees that Brewer's.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Logo next to him.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't the Walker Bueler we've been accustomed to
- 4:50Speaker 1: seeing recently, although he did kind of have that twenty
- 4:53Speaker 1: twenty Yeah, twenty eighteen, twenty twenty one Walker Bueler, but
- 4:56Speaker 1: it was just ground ball at the ground ball. He's
- 4:58Speaker 1: felt like that get rolling over and it was just
- 5:01Speaker 1: it can be frustrating when when you see it and
- 5:03Speaker 1: the offense is kind of going like that right now,
- 5:06Speaker 1: and a lot of ground balls, a lot of a
- 5:08Speaker 1: lot of banging into the dirt.
- 5:10Speaker 2: So Dustin May versus Robbie Ray, it's been good.
- 5:14Speaker 1: What a great matchup of the U of the guys
- 5:16Speaker 1: that almost all were all traded. You could have had
- 5:20Speaker 1: any one of them if you really wanted.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Them, May Ray.
- 5:22Speaker 1: So that's today as Bruce try to avoid a sweep
- 5:25Speaker 1: at three o'clock. First pitch, Yeah, that I'm torn on
- 5:29Speaker 1: that ball in the pivot, the what you know, everything
- 5:33Speaker 1: spiral out of that what could have been a triple play.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Hamilton made a late throw and Bay had to really
- 5:38Speaker 1: stretch for it, almost like a first basement. I was
- 5:40Speaker 1: going to say that that full extension by Bay, it
- 5:43Speaker 1: was gonna be hard for him and probably turn that anyway.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Well, but there was a slow guy running it was
- 5:47Speaker 2: I think.
- 5:47Speaker 1: It was possible, but not catching the second even get
- 5:51Speaker 1: the second. Yeah, the game changer, that's what hurt. And
- 5:55Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I disagree with McKelvey. I don't
- 5:57Speaker 1: think that rises to the level of an error because
- 5:59Speaker 1: I think that's stretch there and the low throw made
- 6:01Speaker 1: it beyond normal effort. Yeah, that's a heck of that
- 6:04Speaker 1: would have That's a because he's pretty stretched out, you know,
- 6:07Speaker 1: to make the and it was close. He's channel some
- 6:10Speaker 1: of Armin's nineteen ninety eight Olympic team right there. Yeah,
- 6:12Speaker 1: it's close to the round too, So I don't think
- 6:16Speaker 1: I would have scored that in error either.
- 6:17Speaker 2: And you can't assume a double play ever, so yeah, anyway, douay,
- 6:22Speaker 2: you definitely can't assume a triple triple.
- 6:26Speaker 1: But ye know, as the great George Memberger said that
- 6:28Speaker 1: it took us right out of the inning when the
- 6:29Speaker 1: Brewers hit into a trip lay.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Yeah, that took us right out of the inning. Oh
- 6:32Speaker 2: that's great. That's a great Asoki Bera type line. Yeah. Yeah.
- 6:36Speaker 1: So here's the thing, Brewers, the lead is what for
- 6:40Speaker 1: four now? No help from the Nationals last night, who
- 6:42Speaker 1: hadn't early lead but split it up. No help, but
- 6:45Speaker 1: champions fear no one. And they're in the skid right now.
- 6:48Speaker 1: They're in the free fall and it feels like nothing
- 6:50Speaker 1: could go right. And oh my god, I'm flashing back
- 6:53Speaker 1: to mid July when they went to Pittsburgh and lost
- 6:57Speaker 1: the double header that they should have won and then
- 6:59Speaker 1: lost it.
- 6:59Speaker 2: It's like, and that was they had one.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I think they won the getaway game in Saint Louis
- 7:05Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, but they had lost the game
- 7:06Speaker 1: before or something, so it was like, man, they're really spot.
- 7:09Speaker 2: They had one. Three.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Yeah, they had won three straight in Saint Louis, and
- 7:11Speaker 1: then they split the last two of that five game
- 7:13Speaker 1: in four, right, split that.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And then lost in Pittsburgh.
- 7:16Speaker 1: They got a rainout doubleheader, so it ended up being
- 7:18Speaker 1: four or five, lost four or five, And that's kind
- 7:21Speaker 1: of what they're in right now.
- 7:22Speaker 2: But on the bright side, if I may channel my
- 7:25Speaker 2: arm in sorry and come on now, let's see some
- 7:27Speaker 2: of that. That's hard.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Going to rude till the last out, no matter what
- 7:31Speaker 1: the score be. A cock eyed optimist like Billy Mumphrey, Yeah,
- 7:35Speaker 1: I look at the last in the standings, last ten,
- 7:39Speaker 1: five and five.
- 7:40Speaker 2: What do I say?
- 7:41Speaker 1: A million times when you're at your worst, feugod team
- 7:43Speaker 1: B five hundred, that's your baseline, right, don't go sure,
- 7:47Speaker 1: you know, don't go two and twelve as the Cubs
- 7:51Speaker 1: have a couple of times, right, Oh yeah.
- 7:52Speaker 2: They've had the high game.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Avoid that Hia not in the rope, and Dustin made
- 8:00Speaker 1: got to get you out of there, and you take
- 8:01Speaker 1: one in San Diego and then on to La and
- 8:04Speaker 1: take your chances. But like we've said, I mean, if
- 8:08Speaker 1: you you're playing a seven game trip, and given the
- 8:11Speaker 1: state of things and the pitching and the just the
- 8:14Speaker 1: the fact that it's the end of this stretch, I
- 8:17Speaker 1: mean three and four, I'll take it. Yeah, we said
- 8:20Speaker 1: going in like we said Monday, sign me up.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Yep, I'll drop.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I'll drop the series and split if that's the case,
- 8:26Speaker 1: or however, you get the configuration out and you just
- 8:28Speaker 1: showing me the work. You might not get the full
- 8:31Speaker 1: All Star break like you got at the end of
- 8:32Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh situation, Drew, but at least you get a
- 8:36Speaker 1: day off and then you get the Seattle Mariners who
- 8:38Speaker 1: are limping as I'll get up. Yeah, so you can
- 8:43Speaker 1: at least get a little bit of a reprieve. You
- 8:45Speaker 1: get Harrison back on the home mound after the break,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and then a couple of games against Atlanta. But the
- 8:51Speaker 1: schedule aint getting any easier, and and this is the
- 8:54Speaker 1: toughest time to play. Some of the toughest teams in
- 8:57Speaker 1: ball and one of the hottest teams.
- 8:58Speaker 2: You mentioned it as well.
- 9:00Speaker 1: You're talking with you guys, talking with Hunter on Monday,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I might drive up and you had set it for
- 9:06Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt. Like the injury to Pratt disappointing from one
- 9:09Speaker 1: regard of you don't like to not have your your
- 9:12Speaker 1: main shortstop in the game.
- 9:13Speaker 2: That's the first and foremost.
- 9:15Speaker 1: But even just getting the glimpse of postseason like games,
- 9:20Speaker 1: there's forty thousand people there at every Padres game and
- 9:24Speaker 1: that place is live every single night. And you go
- 9:26Speaker 1: to Chavez Ravine, that's one of the most iconic places
- 9:29Speaker 1: in ball. But no nothing on on a weekend night
- 9:33Speaker 1: is going to match Dodger Stadium across the majors, Like
- 9:36Speaker 1: these are big time games to be playing in and
- 9:38Speaker 1: you're not going into it feeling your best and playing
- 9:42Speaker 1: your best.
- 9:42Speaker 2: That's a tough way to make a living at this point.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Their potential playoff venues for you, and you'd like to
- 9:48Speaker 1: have just the reps of playing there at big time,
- 9:50Speaker 1: like you know, knowing what it's like to you know
- 9:52Speaker 1: what the backdrop is like and what well because at
- 9:56Speaker 1: the beginning of the week that was our biggest concern, like, hey,
- 9:58Speaker 1: really nice to get some postseason like experience so you
- 10:00Speaker 1: can get this experience. Now, it's like, yeah, damn, I
- 10:02Speaker 1: really wish i'd I'd be able to make sure that
- 10:04Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt's in the lineup, because as much as we
- 10:07Speaker 1: loved Bay pushing the hair behind the ears and giving
- 10:10Speaker 1: us a little BTS feel, we do need we do
- 10:13Speaker 1: need your main stays into that lineup. Bryce Terrang, you
- 10:18Speaker 1: think he's doing that whole split steal. I mean he
- 10:20Speaker 1: might have just Yeah, I caught that thing, flipped it
- 10:22Speaker 1: up in one hand. That was a that's a heck
- 10:25Speaker 1: of a stretch. I'm watching it again and my groins hurt. Yeah,
- 10:29Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't know what, Yeah, you mentioned
- 10:31Speaker 1: earlier the floor exercise score.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I don't know what it was from the Latvian judges,
- 10:34Speaker 2: but it looks like he.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Wasn't perfectly balanced, so I think you would have gotten
- 10:38Speaker 1: knocked a little bit with.
- 10:39Speaker 2: The toe straight. You gotta keep your toe straight.
- 10:41Speaker 1: It's remarkable when like the Brewers have lost two games
- 10:44Speaker 1: right starting this series, starting this trip, and you come
- 10:47Speaker 1: up a series win, so it feels like losing two
- 10:50Speaker 1: games in a row feels like the bottom's falling up
- 10:52Speaker 1: because they just don't do that. And that's the one
- 10:54Speaker 1: thing about this team is they've been so good, so
- 10:56Speaker 1: we're we're kind of conditioned to believe that we're gonna
- 10:58Speaker 1: win every day and if we don't something, they're terribly wrong.
- 11:01Speaker 1: So I guess that part of it's a good thing
- 11:02Speaker 1: that I'm myself. Here's Barra boop bop. Stop complaining about injuries, man,
- 11:06Speaker 1: everyone has them. We need hitting guys need to step up.
- 11:08Speaker 1: I won't be surprised after this trip. The Bruis are
- 11:10Speaker 1: not the team with the best record. They need to
- 11:12Speaker 1: show their stuff. Well you have, I mean, I understand
- 11:16Speaker 1: having injuries. It's not like complaining, well, you can't keep
- 11:20Speaker 1: a six twenty pace up though when you lose all
- 11:21Speaker 1: your play I mean it's not It's not like an
- 11:23Speaker 1: excuse the Brewers are fielding teams.
- 11:26Speaker 2: That's not the issue. I mean my.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Question now is like, Okay, well, not only did I
- 11:30Speaker 1: want Cooper Pratt to be exposed to this playoff like atmosphere,
- 11:33Speaker 1: he's hitting almost three hundred and playing, so everything's a downgrade.
- 11:38Speaker 1: You had two games with Andrew Vaughan at third base.
- 11:40Speaker 1: You got Bay off the scrap heap from the Mets,
- 11:43Speaker 1: and he was, you know, travel all night, got there and.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Played that gate that day. Bryce Wilson the revolving door, Like.
- 11:50Speaker 1: It's not a normal situation now, Ortiz, My question is
- 11:54Speaker 1: how long do you wait? Like how long is it
- 11:56Speaker 1: next stiff? And like, get a player here who can play.
- 11:58Speaker 1: They got some goods that might be enticing down there.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that one, Drew.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I thought for sure he would have been back yesterday
- 12:05Speaker 1: when Murph said I think it was Monday night that
- 12:07Speaker 1: he was maybe a maybe available towards the end of
- 12:09Speaker 1: the night, Like all right, sweet, then you're into the
- 12:11Speaker 1: lineup the next.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I still can't play. It's time to
- 12:15Speaker 2: iyel them and get a body.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Because whether or not you missed two days on the
- 12:19Speaker 1: back end, you get eight days with a full roster
- 12:21Speaker 1: when you're already down in the bullpen, which is one
- 12:23Speaker 1: of the toughest things to be doing.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Down in the bullpen. You're carrying that extra starter.
- 12:27Speaker 1: So those guys are kind of off limits because it's
- 12:29Speaker 1: not like they throw their bullpens on the mound in
- 12:32Speaker 1: the game.
- 12:33Speaker 2: In between No and and let's also call it what
- 12:36Speaker 2: it is.
- 12:36Speaker 1: One of the toughest things is the injuries are absolutely
- 12:40Speaker 1: a piece of it. But you got controllers hitting a
- 12:43Speaker 1: buck thirty nine. He got hit in the arm last
- 12:45Speaker 1: night too, right, Like, I mean, you're you're in a
- 12:47Speaker 1: spot offensively where your biggest that guy has got to
- 12:50Speaker 1: be a big that's true. Have they're not getting a pass?
- 12:55Speaker 1: I mean, and then in their veteran guys, but everybody's dragging.
- 12:59Speaker 1: It is the days of August. It is like they're
- 13:03Speaker 1: you know, like we said, seventeen in a row is
- 13:05Speaker 1: no joke. Just when you bring like a Lama into
- 13:07Speaker 1: the clubhouse or something, do something. We try to do
- 13:10Speaker 1: something crazy, spy something Allama.
- 13:13Speaker 2: I love that. Listen, try to be upset.
- 13:15Speaker 1: When Allama's around. You can get lamas around here. I mean,
- 13:18Speaker 1: I know, I mean the Admirals San Diego. Yeah, that's
- 13:21Speaker 1: one of the biggest zoos in the entire world. Rent
- 13:24Speaker 1: one for I don't know if they're renting out marsupials
- 13:27Speaker 1: in that well, it's not a Marsupial.
- 13:29Speaker 2: I don't have to rent try. Wait to try there,
- 13:31Speaker 2: Bob tried.
- 13:33Speaker 1: You can probably get something like that and get it going.
- 13:36Speaker 2: They had the turtle. I don't know what happened to that.
- 13:38Speaker 1: And then wait when you're home in the sweet place
- 13:40Speaker 1: I went in Waterford, will bring me in.
- 13:42Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Then somebody asked in Kurt Hog or somebody asked Bobby
- 13:45Speaker 1: Witt about the about the turtle.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Yeah, at the All Star Game. I think he did.
- 13:49Speaker 2: It's a great question.
- 13:50Speaker 1: You know the turtle could use or is that we
- 13:54Speaker 1: could use Hank or something. Yeah, I don't know, you know,
- 13:57Speaker 1: something the bats in the shower or something. To throw
- 14:00Speaker 1: seven innings and give up a runner two and that
- 14:02Speaker 1: would help, would help, That would definitely. It's to drive
- 14:05Speaker 1: in a couple and get some you know, flow going.
- 14:07Speaker 1: But that's kind of what they did last year. Is
- 14:09Speaker 1: his grind out wins that way, and that's why you
- 14:11Speaker 1: want it. So the Brewers had been doing that to twins.
- 14:15Speaker 2: That's though.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Contreras as uh Louis Renhifo is rounding or hitting home
- 14:19Speaker 1: plate and throwing the hands up in the air. You
- 14:21Speaker 1: could definitely see the side eye coming from Contreras. Brother,
- 14:24Speaker 1: you couldn't find a barrel if you fell out of
- 14:27Speaker 1: the Louisville Slugger Factory when they're here for too much.
- 14:30Speaker 1: That's the frustrating part is when a guy like that
- 14:32Speaker 1: and we always joke about how a pro not joke,
- 14:34Speaker 1: but we comment about how progress is not linear and things.
- 14:38Speaker 1: You can't always count on performance from one of the Renifo,
- 14:41Speaker 1: the same guy, the same player who know everyone know
- 14:44Speaker 1: we we saw him not barrel anything up all of
- 14:46Speaker 1: a sudden, he's getting like home runs and stuff in
- 14:49Speaker 1: San Diego and his ops is like over eight on
- 14:52Speaker 1: which it's ridiculous, but that's it.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Kind of brust me.
- 14:55Speaker 1: He's probably he's probably his energy was high. He's all
- 14:57Speaker 1: fired up to play the Brewers. It was just the
- 14:59Speaker 1: same thing. Lewis Brinson hit two homers against the Brewers.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I remember when he came here with the Marlins and
- 15:04Speaker 1: didn't do anything else anywhere. But you get all fired
- 15:07Speaker 1: up the player fourteen and like, come on, really, Rendeefo.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Renifo had enough of a track record though that you
- 15:12Speaker 1: know he's better than what he showed in Milwaukee.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Well, and he also gets to play every day. It's
- 15:16Speaker 2: the regression to the mean thing.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's playing and it's just like which also
- 15:20Speaker 1: would make you think that at a certain point, contrast
- 15:23Speaker 1: and yell it will start to produce. Well, that's what
- 15:25Speaker 1: I've always produced in the past, and they've had, you know,
- 15:27Speaker 1: since he was six weeks and two months where they're not.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I mean since he went to San Diego in July.
- 15:35Speaker 1: He's basically played every single game and getting regular at
- 15:38Speaker 1: bats in the midst of it. Now, when you produce here,
- 15:40Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take you out of a lineup. But
- 15:41Speaker 1: he was the guy that played every single day and
- 15:44Speaker 1: then come opening Day he's on the bench. And I
- 15:47Speaker 1: remember you and I talking about it very early in
- 15:48Speaker 1: the year like that. I wonder how that's going to
- 15:52Speaker 1: affect him throughout. And there's something to it, Like I know,
- 15:56Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that get very frustrated, Drew
- 15:59Speaker 1: with the blue tunes that the Brewers play. They just
- 16:02Speaker 1: want the same line up every single day. Want my
- 16:04Speaker 1: guys to know what they got to do every single day.
- 16:06Speaker 1: And there's an absolute advantage to that. I think uh
- 16:09Speaker 1: Renhifa would be a case in point, and maybe baseball
- 16:11Speaker 1: is more of that than any other sport. But when
- 16:14Speaker 1: we're talking about trying to play as many matchups and
- 16:17Speaker 1: play around the margins as much as possible.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Not everyone's built for that.
- 16:21Speaker 1: That doesn't not everyone is able to be their best
- 16:25Speaker 1: version when they're not getting the regular at bats.
- 16:27Speaker 2: I think that's something that Merv talked about near the deadline.
- 16:30Speaker 1: We got to make sure that we're getting the right people,
- 16:32Speaker 1: getting the right guys in here, because we're not going to.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Play like everybody else. Yeah, that's true, and that's why
- 16:36Speaker 2: they can figure it the same line.
- 16:37Speaker 1: And that's why I think one of the big reasons
- 16:39Speaker 1: that burs the best record I mean in baseball, I
- 16:41Speaker 1: mean that they won. I mean, you can only wait
- 16:44Speaker 1: around so much for it. I understand the regression of
- 16:46Speaker 1: the mean.
- 16:46Speaker 2: We thought.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I thought that some people thought about Jesse Winker two
- 16:49Speaker 1: and it never happened. But it happened when he leaves
- 16:51Speaker 1: and comes back. I totally thought it was going to
- 16:53Speaker 1: happen to that playoff effect. That was the moment, right,
- 16:55Speaker 1: that was the one moment. So it's just like the
- 16:57Speaker 1: mean is also drew, I agree, but it's also like
- 17:00Speaker 1: a collection of numbers that change every year. Like he
- 17:02Speaker 1: was so he should have been better there, and he
- 17:04Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be as good as he's been in San Diego.
- 17:06Speaker 1: But that's just the way it goes, and you're right,
- 17:08Speaker 1: you get in the groove, you you start hitting.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Monasterio did that for a while for us.
- 17:12Speaker 1: So there are guys like that and that's just the
- 17:14Speaker 1: way this game goes, and might you just take your
- 17:16Speaker 1: licks and move on to the next MVP. Last night
- 17:18Speaker 1: was Bryce Wilson because they lost eleven to two and
- 17:21Speaker 1: they only burned one reliever.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 17:25Speaker 1: That's so that's very good him again him forty pitches, uh,
- 17:30Speaker 1: is exactly what you needed at that point.
- 17:32Speaker 2: I mean, you got the ball to Gary Sanchez, Yes,
- 17:35Speaker 2: get the ball.
- 17:37Speaker 1: He got the ball to Sanchez for the ninth and
- 17:39Speaker 1: then they to burn one reliever and eleven to two loss.
- 17:43Speaker 1: That's another I'm looking at the sunny side of things, right, Well,
- 17:46Speaker 1: that's a good way to look sunny.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Sign is we have this sweet new reliever with a
- 17:49Speaker 2: zero point zero e r A. That's right, hell, Gary,
- 17:53Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know whenever you got to throw
- 17:54Speaker 2: the kraken, just toss him out there.
- 17:57Speaker 1: At some point I wanted I just wanted to see
- 17:59Speaker 1: the social media team because they did it with your
- 18:02Speaker 1: eBay and the McGill.
- 18:03Speaker 2: They made that big graphic. That's it.
- 18:04Speaker 1: When you see these guys, it's too late. I wanted
- 18:07Speaker 1: to see when you see I wanted to see him
- 18:11Speaker 1: challenge from the mound. Will be the only guy to
- 18:15Speaker 1: have challenged from all three in the mountain, and he's.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Challenge for the cycle.
- 18:21Speaker 1: He's got to be one of the only guys in
- 18:22Speaker 1: baseball to lead his team in E r A as
- 18:24Speaker 1: well as we.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Difficult number to have.
- 18:29Speaker 1: You need fun stuff like that in moments like this.
- 18:31Speaker 1: I mean, this is a little adversity kind of loll
- 18:35Speaker 1: Someone's got, like you said, the lama or the hot foot,
- 18:39Speaker 1: or someone's got to put bubble.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Gum on someone. What's the hot foot?
- 18:42Speaker 1: Isn't that w they burn the shoe burn your okay, okay,
- 18:45Speaker 1: I can do that part your shoelaces on fire. That
- 18:47Speaker 1: to me would have just been somebody lights the bag
- 18:50Speaker 1: of dog stuff and on fire.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Do you get some hot foot, you get some real hotey.
- 18:56Speaker 1: You guys crawl under the bench to get guys in
- 18:59Speaker 1: light their shoes on fire.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Right, But now that now they're not betting some more
- 19:03Speaker 2: of that.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Clubhouses have nice dougouts have nice seats now, so it's
- 19:07Speaker 1: not the same.
- 19:07Speaker 2: It's not the same where you can call it all right.
- 19:10Speaker 1: So it's been a brutal trip to the West Coast
- 19:12Speaker 1: so far. Two games in Brewers in the land of Fish, Tacos,
- 19:16Speaker 1: getaway game today. Is this the biggest game of the season,
- 19:21Speaker 1: Tim Allen. Some are saying so season. I bet there's
- 19:24Speaker 1: some I bet that's for sure. Well, combine it with
- 19:27Speaker 1: whatever the hell the Nationals want to do.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't find so much.
- 19:31Speaker 1: They help us a little if somebody helped us get
- 19:33Speaker 1: into the Cubs a little bit.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Miles Michael is on the mound. All right, the Cups
- 19:36Speaker 2: are winning today.
- 19:37Speaker 1: You're looking at uh drowing, uh drow and Gosser Miserowski
- 19:44Speaker 1: and then Henderson and Henderson in the back end. Thank
- 19:46Speaker 1: god for the final two. Yeah, some Misaki, Yamamoto, Robleski
- 19:50Speaker 1: and scoobl Henderson Againso is going to beautiful Feeder. That'll
- 19:54Speaker 1: be a good time. That is a lot of fun
- 19:56Speaker 1: on Sunday.
- 19:57Speaker 2: About Hey, you know what else is interesting today? Hey?
- 20:00Speaker 2: What is that? Drew?

- 20:15Speaker 1: But however, exciting news for tomorrow night coming from the
- 20:19Speaker 1: head coach is Jordan Love gonna play.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Yes, I have the right to change my mind now.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Now for now you're playing.
- 20:29Speaker 1: We'll talk about that, we'll unpack more about the Brewers.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Take your thoughts and get ready because at six am,
- 20:35Speaker 1: the hot Take hump Day machine fires up.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Bear boom, Bob's already fired up.

- 20:40Speaker 1: seven seven. We love our five o'clock clubbers. You're in
- 20:44Speaker 1: the huddel Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 20:46Speaker 2: You're one.
- 20:46Speaker 1: All those things come those things, I mean, I still
- 20:49Speaker 1: say they'll be in there for a while. They're good still.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I mean just the date. You know, they play it
- 20:53Speaker 2: safe from the date, but they're good. Yeah, for a while.
- 20:56Speaker 2: You know, have cream donuts. I think you're good.
- 20:58Speaker 1: You don't want, you know, you don't want to let
- 21:00Speaker 1: the custard lay in there too long, but those are perfect.
- 21:02Speaker 2: The Glazers.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Wait until you guys reach empty nest status. It's different
- 21:08Speaker 1: when you have children in the house. You always have food.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I've become my parents. I used to roll to my parents'
- 21:15Speaker 1: house like in college, and like shortly afterwards, I like,
- 21:19Speaker 1: your fridge has anorexia.
- 21:20Speaker 2: There's nothing here, there's not food here, throwing anything at me.
- 21:25Speaker 1: It's like it's like when I was a bachelor that
- 21:27Speaker 1: was the same way, and then now it's the opposite,
- 21:29Speaker 1: and it's probably.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Gonna go back to that one day. You know.
- 21:31Speaker 1: So you've been back to like basically buying, buying what
- 21:34Speaker 1: you eat.
- 21:34Speaker 2: And then back live in the European lifestyle.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Buy this and make tonight and then yeah, I'll stop
- 21:41Speaker 1: at the store and get what I'm gonna throw in
- 21:42Speaker 1: the Blackstone.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I sometimes I got stuff in the freezer.
- 21:45Speaker 1: But man, but I I will say that I'm just
- 21:47Speaker 1: the absolute worst at it going to the grocery. I
- 21:50Speaker 1: gotta be the worst person to go to a grocery
- 21:52Speaker 1: store with. I'll think of three things that you need
- 21:54Speaker 1: and then walk out with fourteen. Well what happens though,
- 21:58Speaker 1: that's remark that's the target slash costco conundrum. I'm going
- 22:02Speaker 1: to go in for one thing and I walk out
- 22:04Speaker 1: I spent three hundred and fifty bucks. It's just it's
- 22:06Speaker 1: a tail like uh, no other every single time. You know,
- 22:10Speaker 1: it's triple digits, Like it doesn't matter how many things
- 22:12Speaker 1: you go in here.
- 22:13Speaker 2: One hundred dollars store. Oh that's what it is though.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a dollar tree and then there's one
- 22:17Speaker 1: hundred dollars store. Because you're not getting out of Target
- 22:19Speaker 1: for less.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Than one hundred bucks.
- 22:20Speaker 1: I really should replace those door knoms in the living,
- 22:23Speaker 1: that's right, or why we do need some of those
- 22:24Speaker 1: new rugs. I went to get a birthday card, and
- 22:27Speaker 1: you know, from targets little things like that, it's like,
- 22:29Speaker 1: all right, let me go check out the shirts and
- 22:31Speaker 1: the shorts, you know, like they got some good stuff
- 22:33Speaker 1: there over at good Fellows or whatever the brand is,
- 22:35Speaker 1: like let's check out the TVs, like, let's check out
- 22:38Speaker 1: what's going on, Like it's just what you do. And
- 22:40Speaker 1: then you have that three dollars section in the front.
- 22:42Speaker 1: But at least at the grocery store you're buying food.
- 22:43Speaker 1: The thing is they always say don't go in you're hungry.
- 22:46Speaker 1: And I hated that one because I was like, well,
- 22:47Speaker 1: what am I supposed to go?
- 22:48Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want to look at food when
- 22:50Speaker 2: I'm not hungry. Yeah, that's the other thing.
- 22:51Speaker 1: It's like I'm supposed to just eat my meals and
- 22:53Speaker 1: then go right away to the grocery store.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Like, no, it doesn't work.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Like I go what I can and if I'm hungry,
- 22:58Speaker 1: so be it. And what I always want to snap
- 23:00Speaker 1: because it's.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Hungry is one thing?
- 23:01Speaker 1: Uh with our friends that happy playtimp is another one,
- 23:04Speaker 1: because then you do think of all the things like
- 23:06Speaker 1: that would be phenomenal.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Look at this. You need to have a game plan.
- 23:09Speaker 2: You need to meal plan. You need to sit down
- 23:12Speaker 2: and make a list of what we're going to eat
- 23:13Speaker 2: during the week, and then got shopping for that list.
- 23:15Speaker 2: And I don't have the bandwidth to do it or
- 23:17Speaker 2: the desire to do it. Yes, you're exactly acuity to
- 23:20Speaker 2: do it.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Different with kids because you got to feed them healthy,
- 23:23Speaker 1: so you gotta have some healthy options.
- 23:25Speaker 2: You gotta have them. But like produce goes bad for me.
- 23:28Speaker 1: And then if I buy an eight pack of burger buns,
- 23:31Speaker 1: much as I love my smash burgers on the by
- 23:34Speaker 1: the time I looked at the last two buns sitting
- 23:36Speaker 1: on the counter, mm hmm, moldy, I was gonna say
- 23:38Speaker 1: they had a brewer log in them. Yeah, it's just incocredible. Yeah,
- 23:42Speaker 1: so it's like, damn, that's we're ahead of that game.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I uh, I've been grabbing the the pretzel buns because
- 23:48Speaker 1: they come in the four pack.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Yeah, you're delicious. That's a good but it is.
- 23:52Speaker 1: But it is that number one drew of like, I'm
- 23:54Speaker 1: not buying eight of these sons of guns because I
- 23:56Speaker 1: know that I'm not going to do that. And now
- 23:58Speaker 1: that the Blackstone is in back in working condition after
- 24:02Speaker 1: how much season against scraping the uh the smash burgers
- 24:05Speaker 1: that we fired up this weekend.
- 24:07Speaker 2: I uh, I like that. You should has a picture,
- 24:10Speaker 2: by the way, problem I was very proud of. Yeah,
- 24:13Speaker 2: it was. I'm very proud of that. I understandable.
- 24:17Speaker 1: That was also after we had laid some some stone.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Your boy was feeling very dey lass that I would have.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Liked to see. I got a picture of that one
- 24:26Speaker 2: for you know a little bit.
- 24:27Speaker 1: I'm telling you the amount of times I've looked at
- 24:29Speaker 1: one spot in my backyard, the amount of times I said, you.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Know, I could you know, we could put a fire
- 24:33Speaker 2: pit there.
- 24:33Speaker 1: I just keep doing that, like maybe for maybe forty
- 24:36Speaker 1: times just walk by and say, you know, I wonder
- 24:38Speaker 1: if I could you know, do a quick kind of
- 24:39Speaker 1: Google search?
- 24:40Speaker 2: How hard is it?
- 24:41Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll ever do it, but it's
- 24:42Speaker 1: listening YouTube University will help you out. Yeah, and they
- 24:46Speaker 1: will convince you that you can do just underneath the
- 24:48Speaker 1: fire pit. And it's got to be a good distance
- 24:50Speaker 1: away from the place that you'll place. You know, I'm
- 24:53Speaker 1: twenty do you need twenty feet and all that stuff?
- 24:55Speaker 2: Out of those it is playsets? Man? Who you can
- 24:57Speaker 2: get those from up to like ten grand? That's a
- 24:59Speaker 2: new one.
- 25:00Speaker 1: The stuff they're building now, Like you know, I can't
- 25:03Speaker 1: take my daughter to minards. She sees them and then
- 25:06Speaker 1: she thinks it's just time to play, and every single
- 25:08Speaker 1: board comes separate. Yeah, there's not one piece of that
- 25:11Speaker 1: thing that comes together. There's certain things that's worth paying
- 25:14Speaker 1: for the install I think that's the that's I'm not
- 25:16Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not putting that thing together or you
- 25:18Speaker 1: gonna be out of your mind to think of the
- 25:20Speaker 1: worst is when your wife decides on a on a
- 25:22Speaker 1: bye week Saturday, when you're sitting there, ready to ready
- 25:25Speaker 1: to get the picks on college game day. Yeah right,
- 25:27Speaker 1: you just try hammering away at every single one of
- 25:30Speaker 1: those one inch boards, You're like, son of a gun
- 25:32Speaker 1: against I'm gonna go do this. I guess we're doing
- 25:35Speaker 1: this now if you uh, you know how sometimes you
- 25:38Speaker 1: you do the math and you depress yourself, Like if
- 25:41Speaker 1: you look at how many hours I work this week
- 25:42Speaker 1: and what I'm making, what my hourly rate is every day,
- 25:47Speaker 1: I'm just the money and the investment that I had
- 25:50Speaker 1: in this monster placet that we had and then some
- 25:53Speaker 1: guy paid me like fifty bucks to haul it away
- 25:55Speaker 1: to get it. Yeah, if you pieced it out, like
- 26:00Speaker 1: I'm looking at probably like twenty five to thirty bucks
- 26:03Speaker 1: every time I kild use the thing. Sure, like over
- 26:07Speaker 1: the course of five or six years, thinking about what
- 26:10Speaker 1: we could have done with that money instead, and all
- 26:12Speaker 1: the times that, oh, wow, we could have just drove
- 26:13Speaker 1: to the park that's four and a half exactly.
- 26:18Speaker 2: And the but you can't.
- 26:19Speaker 1: It's hard to convince logically someone that's like, you know,
- 26:23Speaker 1: you in your yard. This can be because you do
- 26:27Speaker 1: tell yourself you're gonna play on it a lot more.
- 26:29Speaker 1: You do tell yourself you're gonna play on it a lot,
- 26:32Speaker 1: And then that was replaced later by a soccer rebounder
- 26:36Speaker 1: and stuff like that Actually I never used, never used
- 26:39Speaker 1: people do the overground pool because you can get put
- 26:42Speaker 1: that in then take it out one day.
- 26:44Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I mean the older I get, I realized my dad
- 26:48Speaker 1: had the right idea when he just would tell me, like,
- 26:50Speaker 1: if you want a dog, the kid across the street
- 26:52Speaker 1: as a dog. You know, the kid across the street
- 26:55Speaker 1: has a pool. There's a park. There's a park with a.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Play that way. You want to go play with it.
- 26:59Speaker 2: There's plenty of dogs in this pool. One is a
- 27:02Speaker 2: tough one. Now. I don't know if it's political.
- 27:04Speaker 1: I don't mean to do that if it is, but
- 27:05Speaker 1: like the park system is difficult because they just don't
- 27:08Speaker 1: have enough lifeguards right now. Yeah, used to be like
- 27:10Speaker 1: there's a legit four blocks from the house. It's I
- 27:14Speaker 1: don't think it's been open for five or six years.
- 27:16Speaker 1: It's a sad deal because where's a lot of great
- 27:17Speaker 1: parks in this county.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Pools, I should say, And that.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Would be the case of like we have a beautiful
- 27:22Speaker 1: pool that our taxes paifore right down the way here,
- 27:25Speaker 1: what on earth you're not We're not going to put
- 27:26Speaker 1: one up here in the backyard. And by the way,
- 27:28Speaker 1: a place where the community would gather. Like, that's another
- 27:30Speaker 1: thing bowling out. Yeah, we talk about that, not to
- 27:33Speaker 1: get I love this billy, not to get too far
- 27:35Speaker 1: down those roads. But yeah, I mean that's a thing
- 27:37Speaker 1: where Dolph used to talk about the neighborhood pool they
- 27:40Speaker 1: had that was a county park pool. I think that's
- 27:42Speaker 1: closed now. So yeah, I mean that's just the way
- 27:44Speaker 1: it goes. You know, your mom gave you like five bucks,
- 27:47Speaker 1: and instantly you knew that it was going to turn
- 27:49Speaker 1: into a Choco taco at some point of course, like chance,
- 27:54Speaker 1: you're not going Choco taco when you get up to
- 27:57Speaker 1: the counter.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Thank you something.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Someone clown me the other day because said I missed
- 28:00Speaker 1: the Choco Tackle because those are gone now, and they're like,
- 28:03Speaker 1: you get that that was the worst one to get
- 28:04Speaker 1: because it will get Man, I'm like, I love the
- 28:06Speaker 1: Choco Tackle.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Get out of here, Get out of here, Get out
- 28:08Speaker 2: of here.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely not what I'd be getting. When
- 28:11Speaker 1: the ice cream Man would drive hot better than the
- 28:12Speaker 1: Bomb Pop. Yeah, now you can't do that either, because
- 28:17Speaker 1: I love the bomb Pop.
- 28:18Speaker 2: I read you gotta go with the Uh.
- 28:21Speaker 1: There's a a new version of the Bomb Pop or
- 28:23Speaker 1: the Johnny Pop Bomb Pop or whatever they're they're hitting. Okay,
- 28:27Speaker 1: that's the one that's got the different colors, now, is that,
- 28:30Speaker 1: you know? Because the bomb Pop is always red, white
- 28:31Speaker 1: and blue, but there's a red, white and blue version
- 28:34Speaker 1: that's the bomb Pop version, and there's like a rainbow
- 28:36Speaker 1: popsicle in there. I'll eat any of them. I'm smacking
- 28:41Speaker 1: anything that's neck. It's amazing the lengths will go to
- 28:43Speaker 1: to avoid talking about the person. Johnny Cribbage on pretty
- 28:48Speaker 1: impressive tough stretches happened, dus stopping Get the nice too,
- 28:51Speaker 1: Johnny Crimmage on YouTube. Well I like that strategy. I mean,
- 28:54Speaker 1: if that works, let's do it. Let's just start winning games. Johnny.
- 28:58Speaker 1: That's a good idea. That's a good idea, Morning, Paul from.
- 29:02Speaker 2: It's difficult as it is.
- 29:03Speaker 1: That is kind of as simplistic as you can make it, right, Like,
- 29:06Speaker 1: the more you try to dig into the menu shop,
- 29:09Speaker 1: they will, right, Voguie will will dig into it, probably
- 29:12Speaker 1: in the batter's box and some of the stuff. But
- 29:13Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's your guys against
- 29:16Speaker 1: their guys, and you simply, right now, your best guys
- 29:19Speaker 1: just have not been able to produce enough consistent Nope.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I did think it was impressive that it took four
- 29:26Speaker 1: and a half months for Brewers Twitter to get on
- 29:28Speaker 1: a vogel Bach Like it's always we played the hitting
- 29:30Speaker 1: coach at some point, and it's always inevitable.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Every year.
- 29:33Speaker 1: That's like the go to pick the fruit up in tree.
- 29:36Speaker 1: And now I see everyone's like, what does he do?
- 29:38Speaker 1: Vogel back this vocal. Here we go blaming Butch Weininger again, like,
- 29:42Speaker 1: you know, exactly, it's the same thing.
- 29:45Speaker 2: But I don't know.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I mean, hitting coaches impact, it's always something we can debate,
- 29:48Speaker 1: I don't I mean, the Angels just fired Mike Maddox,
- 29:51Speaker 1: who is regarded in the game as one of the
- 29:53Speaker 1: best pitchers, fired him because they got a bunch of
- 29:56Speaker 1: stiff pitchers because they traded their best starter trying to
- 30:00Speaker 1: make like chicken salad.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Yeah, like he had potentially worse than the other one. Yeah, exactly.
- 30:08Speaker 1: It is funny though, it's like, oh yeah, I'm sure
- 30:10Speaker 1: Mike Maddox is the problem, not all of our bad.
- 30:12Speaker 1: But they also fired like they're like third hitting coach.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, they got Kurtzuzuki working on a
- 30:18Speaker 1: one year deal is an awful organization. Yeah, no doubt.
- 30:22Speaker 1: We're talking about the Brewers and Barboo Bob, like you know,
- 30:25Speaker 1: people panicking stuff. Where where do they stand in the standings?
- 30:30Speaker 1: But they're still in first as far as I know,
- 30:32Speaker 1: And I'm still with the best record in baseball.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Well, and I fire the hitting coach. We've only got
- 30:38Speaker 2: the best record in ball.
- 30:39Speaker 1: We're gonna have a lot of them. Man, We're gonna
- 30:41Speaker 1: have there's gonna be there's gonna be this downturn. But
- 30:46Speaker 1: ignoring these storm clouds, no, I mean not really. Dodgers
- 30:49Speaker 1: have gone too in a row to pull out of
- 30:50Speaker 1: their tailspin. But they lost like ten out of twelve,
- 30:52Speaker 1: didn't they.
- 30:53Speaker 2: I was gonna say at least eight of nine. I
- 30:54Speaker 2: know they were one and eight. Uh, and the Red
- 30:56Speaker 2: Sox can't win now.
- 30:57Speaker 1: It's also just it gets come pound because the Cubs
- 31:01Speaker 1: can't lose. Like that's the biggest part is they just
- 31:05Speaker 1: haven't lost, and uh, that makes it tough sledding at
- 31:09Speaker 1: the end of the week very much. So you could
- 31:13Speaker 1: be looking up or the whole season in terms of control,
- 31:17Speaker 1: will come down to that one week.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Ten days.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Wait, seven game series over ten days days beginning August
- 31:24Speaker 1: thirty first, and that will probably likely put the Well,
- 31:29Speaker 1: if you're four up there, you figure again, like if
- 31:32Speaker 1: you can go win three or four of those games,
- 31:34Speaker 1: you're you know, yeah, and you want you don't.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Lose five of the seven.
- 31:39Speaker 1: With the record the Brewers built, they in a lot
- 31:41Speaker 1: of situations, you'd have a much bigger lead.
- 31:43Speaker 2: But the Cubs have been on their own tour.
- 31:45Speaker 1: And that's why four games can either seem like a
- 31:47Speaker 1: lot or not a lot. Oh, four games, I mean
- 31:51Speaker 1: four games. The four game lead could be gone by
- 31:53Speaker 1: the end of this week. I was gonna say it
- 31:54Speaker 1: could be done by the end of the weekend they
- 31:56Speaker 1: play Washington and at the end of the weekend it
- 31:58Speaker 1: could be seven or just that's how baseball works.
- 32:01Speaker 2: It's a lot of math, man, but making up four games,
- 32:03Speaker 2: even when you're.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Playing the idea that oh we're playing head to head, well,
- 32:07Speaker 1: think about that.
- 32:07Speaker 2: In order to pick up ground, you gotta win, like
- 32:09Speaker 2: you gotta go five and two, right, yeah.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Otherwisely tread and water, and that just hasn't been a
- 32:16Speaker 1: difficult for them to be able to do. I didn't
- 32:18Speaker 1: realize that ABC had a two o'clock Cubs Cardinals game
- 32:21Speaker 1: this weekend.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Then they get the White Sox.
- 32:23Speaker 1: All right, that's the first time that I've been excited
- 32:25Speaker 1: that the White Socks are taking on the Cubs.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Come on, let's go.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Let's actually have a chance to be able to see
- 32:30Speaker 1: some some l's for the North Siders on that.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Absolutely all right.
- 32:33Speaker 1: We're firing up the hot take hump Day machine.
- 32:35Speaker 2: At six am.
- 32:36Speaker 1: And can be Brewers, could be Packers, could be whatever
- 32:38Speaker 1: you want it can be. You know Ryan and Msquigo saying,
- 32:41Speaker 1: excuse me, the cream sickle. That's a very good pick,
- 32:45Speaker 1: very very good pick on the ice cream truck. Ryan
- 32:47Speaker 1: never had it in the ice cream truck. But the
- 32:48Speaker 1: push up, the old Sherbet bull chef. The push up
- 32:52Speaker 1: was great at school. We used to get those at school. Yes,
- 32:55Speaker 1: you're right, that was a school one. Yes, yes, all right,
- 32:58Speaker 1: we're we avoid the Brewers that segment. We got to

- 34:17Speaker 1: was making an excuse for myself. So it's time to
- 34:19Speaker 1: stop making excuses and go to gave him. You know what,
- 34:21Speaker 1: my wife is too cheap to get a treadmill. Amen
- 34:24Speaker 1: to that one, well, especially after they took out his one.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Here.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually still in the building. It's just in
- 34:29Speaker 1: the little it's across from the locker, is it really?
- 34:31Speaker 1: But it's like it's taking apart, right, we could put
- 34:34Speaker 1: it back together. Well, there's the locking pad in the
- 34:36Speaker 1: locker room that still works. Then there's there's a treadmill
- 34:39Speaker 1: I got to do. I made it work back in there.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I got it to work.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Oh well, then I'm going to use it. Then I
- 34:44Speaker 2: didn't know that. Oh are you well? Are you why?
- 34:49Speaker 2: Let's do that. Let's get that ring cameras.
- 34:53Speaker 1: You won't that's okay, that's okay, all right, So eight
- 34:56Speaker 1: seven seven seven get a jump on hot take comp
- 34:59Speaker 1: They send us your hot takes. It can be about anything,
- 35:02Speaker 1: it can be about the triple play that wasn't Is
- 35:04Speaker 1: that the turning point? Or did Harrett Harrison gonna throw
- 35:06Speaker 1: up some cookies and let Ren heat fold and swing
- 35:09Speaker 1: away anyway.
- 35:10Speaker 2: We'll never know.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unknowable, but you can hit us with your
- 35:13Speaker 1: hot takes. But more immediately, Packers play tomorrow night, and
- 35:18Speaker 1: we may see Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers for just
- 35:20Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Now. It's funny because Rogers when he came up.
- 35:24Speaker 1: They played, they would play the first game play and
- 35:27Speaker 1: then by the third game they'd play into the third quarter.
- 35:29Speaker 2: You know, I would and it just dipped off.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Very vividly, sorry about that, very vividly remember growing up
- 35:38Speaker 1: watching and seeing it and generally making sure that we
- 35:41Speaker 1: were somewhere near like the Micro or the Bud Pavilion
- 35:44Speaker 1: at State Fair for that first preseason game, because you're right,
- 35:47Speaker 1: you'd always see at least like the first two or
- 35:49Speaker 1: three series the starters would play until they went to
- 35:52Speaker 1: this place one time in twenty fifteen and it kind
- 35:56Speaker 1: of changed everything. It's one of the strangest parts and
- 36:00Speaker 1: it kind of comes full circle here on uh I
- 36:02Speaker 1: watched the Jordan Nelson injury at Conahitos on the south
- 36:07Speaker 1: side of Milwaukee. Yeah, a good spot getting chicken mole
- 36:09Speaker 1: and enchiladas and stuff ruined your meal. Yep, six there
- 36:13Speaker 1: out there at six Street. Yeah yeah. I was like, oh,
- 36:18Speaker 1: you got to be kidding me. I remember I was
- 36:19Speaker 1: in the car trapping back from the Dells or something
- 36:22Speaker 1: like that, and that was really quite deflating, no question.
- 36:26Speaker 1: But then now LA Floor said that they have data.
- 36:29Speaker 1: They love, data that shows that if they play their guys,
- 36:31Speaker 1: they're less susceptible to injuries early in the season. I'd
- 36:34Speaker 1: love to know where that data came from, because I
- 36:37Speaker 1: remember a lot of NFL teams citing the exact same
- 36:39Speaker 1: study from a year ago, and I would love to
- 36:41Speaker 1: know where it was commissioned from, potentially from that beautiful
- 36:45Speaker 1: leather chair.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Do we remember, Hey, fella, we're putting all these games
- 36:50Speaker 2: on TV.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Uh, let's get somebody out there for some kind of games.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Let's not play full UFL games.
- 36:57Speaker 1: In the month of August here, or they'll find the
- 36:59Speaker 1: data they want to find and then distributed to the team.
- 37:01Speaker 2: Very good at finding data that they want.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I still remember the gentle pressure that commissioner matters see
- 37:07Speaker 1: like put on Brewer skipper Phil Garner'm sitting in Guar's
- 37:09Speaker 1: office and it was spring training and they had lost
- 37:11Speaker 1: like four or five in a row, and he's like, Hey,
- 37:13Speaker 1: I know it's spring training, and I know these games
- 37:15Speaker 1: don't matter, but can we win once in a while.
- 37:17Speaker 1: We're trying to sell tickets back home? And and oh,
- 37:19Speaker 1: by the way, the game Saturdays on TV for the
- 37:21Speaker 1: back home and this car like, oh, we're gonna play
- 37:23Speaker 1: all our starters. Don't worry about We're gonna play all
- 37:25Speaker 1: our good you know, we can play the A team.
- 37:27Speaker 1: They went out and got shellacked. But did he least
- 37:30Speaker 1: start like with the guy out there with with the
- 37:33Speaker 1: A team out there, we're gonna start the A team.
- 37:35Speaker 2: That was a bit of a lot. Then that exposed
- 37:37Speaker 2: a bigger problem, but it was funny enough.
- 37:39Speaker 1: It was funny that Buds is like, we're trying to
- 37:41Speaker 1: sell tickets back home.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Cause we win maybe once a week.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hilarious. Just give us one trying to focus
- 37:48Speaker 1: off trying to sell tickets. Yeah, we're trying to sell
- 37:50Speaker 1: tickets back home. Well, and you're trying to get people
- 37:52Speaker 1: to watch these meaningless preseason games.
- 37:54Speaker 2: But the starter's.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Playing does make sense now, I don't remember until the
- 37:59Speaker 1: until years, until they started sitting guys and when not
- 38:02Speaker 1: hitting and stuff. You go back and like, you know,
- 38:04Speaker 1: the the old guys might have a point about how
- 38:07Speaker 1: much tougher camp was back in the day because all
- 38:08Speaker 1: they're playing an hour and forty in Yeah, really time
- 38:11Speaker 1: as to the ground ever, and it's like, but you
- 38:14Speaker 1: sit and watch the first week or maybe even two
- 38:16Speaker 1: weeks of game coverage, you're spinning around and the ticker
- 38:20Speaker 1: like there's always injuries, guys going out for the season
- 38:22Speaker 1: in weeks one to two. I don't remember that happening
- 38:24Speaker 1: as often back in the day. Yeah, and uh, I
- 38:28Speaker 1: firmly believe that there is some kind of callousing your
- 38:30Speaker 1: body needs to be able to play full NFL games.
- 38:33Speaker 1: And Wayne and I were talking about it yesterday as well.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Like these practices going for an hour and forty five minutes,
- 38:38Speaker 1: there was an over two hours on Friday night on
- 38:41Speaker 1: Family Night, over two hours on Monday. You start to
- 38:43Speaker 1: get back in there, Drew, I've watched a lot of
- 38:45Speaker 1: NFL games, probably more than I care to count. I
- 38:47Speaker 1: don't know that i'd really want to know that full
- 38:49Speaker 1: those full time stats.
- 38:52Speaker 2: There's not been one game I've ever watched, it's been
- 38:53Speaker 2: two hours. Nope, they've all your feet for three no
- 38:57Speaker 2: matter what.
- 38:57Speaker 1: You're in there and you're in that grind men lee
- 39:00Speaker 1: end physically for three plus hours, and the build up
- 39:03Speaker 1: to it is another hour and a half two hours,
- 39:06Speaker 1: the pregame, the getting ready, getting yourself in that mindset.
- 39:09Speaker 1: That's what I think the best part of what la
- 39:10Speaker 1: Floor said yesterday is it isn't only about the maybe
- 39:14Speaker 1: thirty reps we hope to get, we might not get
- 39:16Speaker 1: that many. I want these guys to know what it's
- 39:19Speaker 1: like to get themselves prepared to play a game exactly,
- 39:21Speaker 1: just like if not just not just cadillacing it. Put
- 39:24Speaker 1: your hat on, your hoodie and yourself and if you
- 39:26Speaker 1: got tickets to the last preseason game, I would get
- 39:28Speaker 1: there very early because I would assume they do the
- 39:31Speaker 1: same thing that they've done before, where it's you guys
- 39:34Speaker 1: are all gonna get yourselves ready and then put the
- 39:37Speaker 1: track suit on it. That'll be interesting because you do
- 39:40Speaker 1: have the controlled scrimage right before that, right before it.
- 39:42Speaker 1: That's now the third preseason game when they you know,
- 39:45Speaker 1: they lay it all out there and for a team,
- 39:47Speaker 1: you know, if they end up playing because Wayne.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Brought it up.
- 39:49Speaker 1: I had just completely thought they would punt in Denver,
- 39:51Speaker 1: so I think they might play a little in Denver.
- 39:53Speaker 1: They manufacture a short week, a team that's playing two
- 39:56Speaker 1: Thursday night games a Wednesday one this year, good call
- 39:58Speaker 1: might not be a bad thing to pre up the
- 40:00Speaker 1: mindful call.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Good call.
- 40:01Speaker 1: All right, we're off and running, shooting shirts are off,
- 40:03Speaker 1: let's get after it. Hot te compte fires up, uh
- 40:07Speaker 1: just after six pm. Thank you to the five o'clock
- 40:09Speaker 1: clubbers for your service. But stick with us because we'll
- 40:11Speaker 1: welcome the six and seven o'clock bandwagon jumpers as we
