Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Blazing through a Friday in the good Land. It's the Huddle.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison
- 0:05Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeart apps, streaming live, Facebook x and YouTube.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Drew Wolson, Hunter Bombguart are helming this program with a
- 0:11Speaker 2: special cameo by Bill Schmid dropping by to grab a
- 0:15Speaker 2: cup of coffee on his way, oh and a vehicle
- 0:17Speaker 2: on his way to Green Bay for Packers practice Day three.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Hello, Billy, morning boys. How we feeling.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Yeah, the vehicle is paramount, always always helps, and then
- 0:26Speaker 3: the free coffee is a tough thing to pass up.
- 0:28Speaker 3: I got, honestly gotta stop in, stop in, have some
- 0:31Speaker 3: fun Sea Hunter in the morning, which is generally one
- 0:34Speaker 3: of the joys of life.
- 0:36Speaker 1: And then to get to talk some some packers and brewers.
- 0:38Speaker 1: What's better than that. You get a little double dip.
- 0:40Speaker 1: This is your warm up.
- 0:41Speaker 2: You're kind of like just stretching little toe touches here.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is long toss before the game
- 0:45Speaker 3: for the relievers. Right then I get to put the
- 0:47Speaker 3: jacket back on in the ac and then get get
- 0:49Speaker 3: ready to roll.
- 0:50Speaker 2: You and Aaron Nagler will be presiding over the program
- 0:53Speaker 2: known as Training Camp.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Live cannot wait. Nags is gonna come over and hang
- 0:57Speaker 3: out with the fans. Generally speaking, Wayne gets one of
- 1:00Speaker 3: the biggest pops right when he walked up yesterday. Damn
- 1:04Speaker 3: near standing ovation as Wayne Lairvy walked up to the perch,
- 1:07Speaker 3: I assume it's gonna be somewhat somewhat the same for
- 1:09Speaker 3: Aaron Nagler because there's a lot of cheese had TV
- 1:12Speaker 3: T shirts you start.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Seeing that training Camp no doubt, no doubt, it's good
- 1:15Speaker 2: looking merch at she said TV and also too, I mean,
- 1:18Speaker 2: let's be honest, this is the good time where you
- 1:20Speaker 2: can come in and get some eyes on.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Players that otherwise you wouldn't be able to do your
- 1:24Speaker 3: full on scouting report online. Training camp is like the
- 1:27Speaker 3: birthplace of Chi's head TV right, like opinions and blogs,
- 1:31Speaker 3: and this guy is gonna be phenomenal. How are they
- 1:33Speaker 3: gonna get rid of this ninth string wide receiver? How
- 1:35Speaker 3: is this guy gonna make it through waivers? So it's
- 1:37Speaker 3: exciting to be able to have Nags up there, and
- 1:39Speaker 3: I appreciate him coming up and hanging out with us
- 1:42Speaker 3: instead of just being with all the cool media people
- 1:44Speaker 3: during on the other side, but I think the shade
- 1:47Speaker 3: in the ninety degrees is probably a little bit appealing
- 1:49Speaker 3: over there underneath that blue tent too.
- 1:51Speaker 2: So yesterday was the second day and I saw some film,
- 1:54Speaker 2: and I saw the breakdown with Earl Dotson and Tremont
- 1:57Speaker 2: Williams who went into the Packers' Hall of Fame last
- 1:59Speaker 2: night around and what else? What stood out to you
- 2:03Speaker 2: in between We just listened to Matt Lafleur's pre practice
- 2:05Speaker 2: pressure from yesterday. He'll have another one, a fresh one
- 2:08Speaker 2: for us today. But what stood out to you between
- 2:11Speaker 2: the lines? What did you like on the grass yesterday?
- 2:13Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of tough.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Wayne and I were talking about it as we're continuing
- 2:16Speaker 3: the conversation and rolling through and not trying to do
- 2:18Speaker 3: full play by play, but you're commenting on the play
- 2:20Speaker 3: that you're seeing right in front of us, especially into
- 2:23Speaker 3: team periods that you sometimes miss certain things like day one.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I think it kind of went past me. How good
- 2:29Speaker 3: of a day Brandon Cisa had. I thought yesterday two
- 2:32Speaker 3: of the plays that really stuck in my mind were
- 2:34Speaker 3: back to back moments where I think it was Matthew
- 2:36Speaker 3: Golden or Jayden Reid took the rookie on a shallow
- 2:40Speaker 3: cross and Jordan Love hit him for a nice, sizable game.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Next play, Matthew Golden right on the outside, beautiful stop
- 2:49Speaker 3: stop route, turned the rookie around quickly, ball was on time,
- 2:52Speaker 3: and CSA walked off the field ticked at himself right.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So you could tell that.
- 2:56Speaker 3: I think one there was Jordan Love wanting to go
- 2:58Speaker 3: right at the rookie and again kind of see of
- 3:00Speaker 3: what he's made of, and the the on time and
- 3:03Speaker 3: on rhythm throws. I know it's day two and it's
- 3:06Speaker 3: all in all in shorts and T shirts. Matthew Golden
- 3:09Speaker 3: has been I don't know that I've seen a ball
- 3:11Speaker 3: hit the ground that's been intended for number zero, So
- 3:13Speaker 3: he feels very much in line for that year or
- 3:16Speaker 3: two jump that they're, uh, let's be honest, you they're
- 3:18Speaker 3: they're building the offense kind of banking on that happening.
- 3:21Speaker 2: You know, we've been talking about who you're gonna watch
- 3:23Speaker 2: and like what are you focusing on, and you know,
- 3:26Speaker 2: you kind of lose sight of the fact that, as
- 3:29Speaker 2: our boy Elbaldo said, the NFL is a reality show
- 3:31Speaker 2: about quarterbacks and Jordan Love is now entering his senior season,
- 3:35Speaker 2: his fourth year as a starter, and he now has
- 3:38Speaker 2: the the experience, the gravitas, he's got the relationship with Lafleur.
- 3:43Speaker 2: And we heard Nags ask a question about you know,
- 3:45Speaker 2: Gannon showing him looks and Jordan, you know, changing plays
- 3:48Speaker 2: and commanding the offense.
- 3:51Speaker 1: We forget that.
- 3:52Speaker 2: That's another thing you got to watch and his evolution
- 3:55Speaker 2: as you see him if two practices in the grass
- 3:58Speaker 2: is green, the air is warm, you.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Know, the sky is blue. Uh huh.
- 4:02Speaker 2: But does it look like he could make that leap
- 4:04Speaker 2: from what we know as a competent, good solid starting
- 4:08Speaker 2: quarterback to a star starting quarterback to a like superstar.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Well, in that that's the thing, like depending on where
- 4:14Speaker 3: that stop goes, right, Like, I think the talent and
- 4:17Speaker 3: the composure that he's got again feels like he's ready
- 4:21Speaker 3: to go for another one, the superstar leap. Wayne and
- 4:23Speaker 3: I were kind of talking about yesterday, Drew, I think
- 4:25Speaker 3: that comes with being a little bit more selfish.
- 4:28Speaker 1: And how I thought about.
- 4:29Speaker 3: It was when we're talking after games and we're we're
- 4:32Speaker 3: watching it and looking at it at a home in
- 4:34Speaker 3: the press boxer here on TV with everybody else. You
- 4:38Speaker 3: can see him making I think, the right check every
- 4:40Speaker 3: single time going up to the line. However, we've seen
- 4:43Speaker 3: some of the superstar guys, the best guys in the league,
- 4:45Speaker 3: the ones that are winning MVPs and leading the league
- 4:47Speaker 3: in passing and touch and passing touchdowns and all that kind.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Of good stuff.
- 4:51Speaker 3: They get a little selfish of Matthew Stafford being like, yeah,
- 4:53Speaker 3: DeVante Adams is right over there, though, so I know
- 4:55Speaker 3: the right look might be for me to run this
- 4:57Speaker 3: one and hand it off off to the right side
- 4:59Speaker 3: and maybe churn it up for second and third down.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I'm gonna be a little selfish and throw this thing
- 5:03Speaker 3: off to the right, And I think that's the next
- 5:05Speaker 3: step of getting to that tier that only comes with
- 5:10Speaker 3: a ton of game reps and playing fifty to sixty
- 5:12Speaker 3: kind of games and winning a bunch more.
- 5:15Speaker 1: So, I don't know that he's going to really do that.
- 5:18Speaker 3: But I do believe they're gonna put a little bit
- 5:21Speaker 3: more onto his plate because it's pretty clear and obvious.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Drew like their best path on offense right now is
- 5:28Speaker 3: going to be have this line hold up as long
- 5:30Speaker 3: as possible and get the ball on the outside of.
- 5:33Speaker 1: These skill guys.
- 5:33Speaker 3: As long as as long as your top three right
- 5:35Speaker 3: now are healthy on the outside and crafton comes in
- 5:39Speaker 3: as we expect within the next week or so, your
- 5:42Speaker 3: best four offensive weapons right now feel like they're on
- 5:45Speaker 3: the outside. And that's not a massive slight towards Josh Jacobs.
- 5:49Speaker 3: I think he's still a really talented player, and once
- 5:51Speaker 3: the pads come on, you can see some of it.
- 5:53Speaker 3: But I don't know that they're gonna block to a
- 5:56Speaker 3: Philadelphia standard. I don't know that they're gonna be one
- 5:58Speaker 3: of the best run blocking you and its you're gonna find.
- 6:01Speaker 3: I think their best path on offense is going to
- 6:03Speaker 3: be him throwing the ball, and he seems like he's
- 6:06Speaker 3: ready for it.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I uh, and I'm that pumps me up because again,
- 6:11Speaker 2: like he's always had the arm strength. Yep, he's very
- 6:14Speaker 2: I don't know what the word is, but in baseball
- 6:17Speaker 2: it be played discipline. He's very disciplined. Doesn't risk, he's
- 6:21Speaker 2: got it right. He takes he's judicious, But you're right,
- 6:24Speaker 2: he can open his game up a little bit more.
- 6:26Speaker 1: He took a couple. Is that on the coach or
- 6:28Speaker 1: is that on love?
- 6:29Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both, right Like,
- 6:30Speaker 3: I think I think it's the coach being able to
- 6:32Speaker 3: try to reinforce, like, hey, we need you to do that.
- 6:34Speaker 3: But I do think that's kind of who you are,
- 6:36Speaker 3: right Like, I think there there is something that that's
- 6:38Speaker 3: probably more on him. He had a couple yesterday Drew
- 6:40Speaker 3: where he definitely was forcing the issue, trying to test
- 6:43Speaker 3: how quickly uh he could get the ball from point
- 6:46Speaker 3: A to point B one uh to Jayden Reid. I
- 6:49Speaker 3: think it was Xavier McKinney who ran in in coverage,
- 6:52Speaker 3: and I mean he was right there, but the ball
- 6:54Speaker 3: was so quick in and out of the hand of
- 6:56Speaker 3: Jordan it was hard to you blank you missed it.
- 6:59Speaker 3: So like if it feels like he's gonna try, maybe
- 7:01Speaker 3: a couple more fastballs inside, but let's be honest, I
- 7:05Speaker 3: think there's been too much. There's a lot made of
- 7:08Speaker 3: a couple of bad ones last year that kind of
- 7:11Speaker 3: clouded the fact that he cleaned up the turnovers. Now,
- 7:14Speaker 3: you got to stay aggressive in not trying to live
- 7:17Speaker 3: in fear of the pick while also knowing, hey, we
- 7:20Speaker 3: got to make sure that we're a little bit reserved
- 7:22Speaker 3: with the football. But my best trade is being a
- 7:24Speaker 3: gunslinger and throwing this thing around the yard, and we
- 7:25Speaker 3: got to see how many times we can test those limits.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Loving it eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one ninety
- 7:31Speaker 2: seven three. Bill Schmid gonna be with Aaron Nagler today
- 7:35Speaker 2: the Friday edition, Day three training camp. Big crowds, the
- 7:39Speaker 2: good vibes, everything, the usual, huge crowds. I'm looking forward.
- 7:42Speaker 2: I got to make my debut up there next week.
- 7:44Speaker 3: I was gonna say, next week, make sure again have
- 7:46Speaker 3: the have the calendar circled August twenty six that's gonna
- 7:50Speaker 3: be the last home one and it's also going to
- 7:52Speaker 3: be the joint practice with the Arizona Cardinal, So that Wednesday,
- 7:56Speaker 3: August twenty sixth is going to be very exciting. August
- 7:58Speaker 3: twenty fourth, again they'll be live and that's the same
- 8:02Speaker 3: week all of their preseason game, So Monday, Wednesday, Friday
- 8:05Speaker 3: chances to get views of the pack. But now on Sunday,
- 8:08Speaker 3: Monday and Tuesday, when they start hitting full pads, Drew,
- 8:11Speaker 3: that's when it really will ramp up and the excitement
- 8:13Speaker 3: will get tuned up as well. But right now, my
- 8:17Speaker 3: favorite part, one of my favorite parts of training camp
- 8:20Speaker 3: are the amount of regulars you see, like, cause we
- 8:22Speaker 3: get to be there now every single day, and you
- 8:24Speaker 3: see the people that are there every single day, rocking
- 8:27Speaker 3: their same jersey, trying to see how many people they
- 8:30Speaker 3: can get on the same football throughout and especially the
- 8:33Speaker 3: youngsters running back to mom and dad who are holding
- 8:35Speaker 3: the seats.
- 8:36Speaker 1: That one's pretty cold, pretty cool and near and dear
- 8:38Speaker 1: to my heart.
- 8:38Speaker 3: When you see the little guy coming back with three
- 8:40Speaker 3: new ones, it's showing them off to mom and she's like,
- 8:42Speaker 3: I can't.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I'm really excited.
- 8:44Speaker 3: I'm gonna date through this roster and see if I
- 8:46Speaker 3: see number ninety six.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure, let's go. That's fantastic.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Bill Schmid with US Packers in training camp, got to
- 8:55Speaker 2: talk about that. But I think there are a lot
- 8:57Speaker 2: of folks that just want to get more talk about
- 8:59Speaker 2: the draft. What's I mean about the trade deadline that's
- 9:01Speaker 2: going on? The stakes are underway. Brewers have so many prospects.
- 9:07Speaker 2: We were just talking about Josiah Ragsdale, guy that people
- 9:09Speaker 2: don't even talk about, who's raking at Biloxi and.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Like, and I wouldn't. God.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Yeah, So the Brewers have never been better positioned to
- 9:18Speaker 2: make this kind of move and go get Schooble and
- 9:24Speaker 2: not a Steve Phillips steal. Steve Phillips, did.
- 9:26Speaker 1: You hear what was up with Steve? We talked about that,
- 9:29Speaker 1: We made fun of the stevene.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Now this is Steve Phillips that used to be on
- 9:32Speaker 3: Baseball Tonight.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Correct.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that's him his decision making his question question, that's
- 9:39Speaker 3: for sure, for sure.
- 9:41Speaker 2: But when he threw out there that the that the
- 9:44Speaker 2: Brewers would have to give up Maday, Lara and Ashby,
- 9:47Speaker 2: It's like, well, wait a minute, what.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Are we talking about here?
- 9:50Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, I don't think the Brewers are
- 9:52Speaker 2: inclined to give up Made as much as teams might
- 9:54Speaker 2: want him. No, and again, like you have to connect
- 9:57Speaker 2: the dots, they probably not gonna be able to afford
- 9:59Speaker 2: Bryce to rang.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Is, the next is the next, and sooner rather than later,
- 10:03Speaker 3: probably depending on how you want to replenish this farm system.
- 10:06Speaker 1: They got so many opportunities.
- 10:08Speaker 3: I just the more and more and the closer we
- 10:10Speaker 3: get to it, it feels like the starting pitching market
- 10:14Speaker 3: is a lot thicker and more robust than we anticipated. Right,
- 10:17Speaker 3: Like teams are trying to offload, like Kevin Gosman a
- 10:21Speaker 3: week and a half ago, They're like, no, it's how
- 10:23Speaker 3: Toronto's not gonna trade them. Well, Toronto's awful, Toronto's bad
- 10:26Speaker 3: this year. It would be bad for them to not
- 10:28Speaker 3: move him at this point. Same with Hoffman, one of
- 10:31Speaker 3: their their closer but like Robbie Ray feels like he's available,
- 10:35Speaker 3: who at one point was in the side Young like,
- 10:36Speaker 3: these are more notable names, but there's a ton of them.
- 10:41Speaker 3: I wonder if that forces the Brewer or allows the
- 10:44Speaker 3: Brewers to kind of take the easy way out. Might
- 10:47Speaker 3: sound bad, but I think you could get two arms,
- 10:51Speaker 3: definitely for less than the price of the one Schooble arm.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Sure, and say that it's a better addition.
- 10:56Speaker 3: It's not going to be a better addition than Trek
- 10:58Speaker 3: Schouobill taking the ball in one of those games. But
- 11:01Speaker 3: I wonder if yesterday would have gone differently with Kyle
- 11:05Speaker 3: Harrison sounds really good from what we saw in Wisconsin
- 11:09Speaker 3: and Appleton right, if that would have been different. Do
- 11:11Speaker 3: they go to let's get a quantity of quality of
- 11:14Speaker 3: starting pitchers instead of just one of the highest quality,
- 11:17Speaker 3: because it does seem like if the Dodgers want to
- 11:20Speaker 3: play in that sandbox, they just get to take over
- 11:22Speaker 3: the territory because they have as great as this farm
- 11:24Speaker 3: system looks.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Like, it looks like the Dodgers is twice as good.
- 11:27Speaker 4: Yeah, which is incredible because they can do it at
- 11:29Speaker 4: the major league level with signing and trading for everybody,
- 11:31Speaker 4: and then also do it and develop at the minor
- 11:33Speaker 4: league level. Kyle Harrison went five and two thirds, one hit,
- 11:37Speaker 4: no runs, three walks, five k's. He had eight swing
- 11:40Speaker 4: and misses two nine pitch innings as well, So he
- 11:43Speaker 4: looked like a big leaguer against Hi a talent.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Good.
- 11:46Speaker 2: So Joe from p Waukee on the talking text line,
- 11:48Speaker 2: I went to the t Rats game last night. Kyle
- 11:50Speaker 2: Harrison looked like himself. Nice, we're quick through strikes three dollars,
- 11:54Speaker 2: beers and brats were great. Two t Rats were hitting
- 11:56Speaker 2: bombs all over. Former first round pick Braylon Pain had two.
- 12:00Speaker 3: All right, Okay, Now Brayln Pain has been an inclusion
- 12:03Speaker 3: in a couple of these deals.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Yeah, the first round pick, and like you don't even
- 12:07Speaker 2: think of him yet, and then the Ragsdale was playing
- 12:09Speaker 2: with him, and now he's up in Biloxi.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Raking, hitting home runs every day.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Yeah, it's well in their farm system is absurd, and
- 12:16Speaker 3: even like first first base is that's Blake Burke was
- 12:20Speaker 3: their first round pick a year ago.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Correct, he was the tennis leaves. He was the first volunteer.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Then they took Fisher yep, so that might have been
- 12:26Speaker 3: two years ago, two years ago, whatever it was. So
- 12:28Speaker 3: but then again, like you forget this brock Wilkin cat
- 12:31Speaker 3: who was a first round pick a couple of years ago.
- 12:32Speaker 3: He's at triple A kind of ready to roll. But
- 12:35Speaker 3: Andrew Fisher might be even better. So at some point
- 12:38Speaker 3: they're gonna have to identify like they did with Pratt
- 12:41Speaker 3: and Laura, hey man, these are the superstars. These are
- 12:44Speaker 3: the guys that we believe are big league players. Now
- 12:46Speaker 3: we got to figure out how we move and get
- 12:50Speaker 3: the biggest value for these guys before they hit a
- 12:52Speaker 3: point where all of a sudden they're I don't know
- 12:55Speaker 3: about Jefferson Carrol. I heard he was the best prospect
- 12:58Speaker 3: that they had for five years, and now he's had injuries,
- 13:01Speaker 3: not all fall to his own, but now I don't
- 13:03Speaker 3: even know where he would be on their top thirty list.
- 13:05Speaker 3: So like quickly it'll shift of you're the hot name
- 13:08Speaker 3: too well now you've toiled in double A and triple
- 13:11Speaker 3: A for too long that you don't have the value
- 13:13Speaker 3: anybody thought you did.
- 13:14Speaker 4: Blake Burke was the thirty fourth overall pick twenty twenty four.
- 13:17Speaker 4: He was that pick was actually from the Baltimore Orioles
- 13:20Speaker 4: in the Corbyn Burns Deel, so technically Corbyn Burnsteel neteddu
- 13:23Speaker 4: Dl Hall, Joey Ortiz and then as well as Blake Burke.
- 13:28Speaker 4: And obviously Burke is lightening it up for the Biloxi
- 13:31Speaker 4: Chuckers this year, and we'll see what he does eventually,
- 13:33Speaker 4: hopefully at the major league level or for a different
- 13:35Speaker 4: organization if they do trade him, because he just tied
- 13:37Speaker 4: the I think they're like franchise record for homers in
- 13:40Speaker 4: a year. He's a thick cat, big fan, big big
- 13:43Speaker 4: fan of barrel Man Blake Burke, which would feel like
- 13:45Speaker 4: a very Milwaukee guy, But they got so many of
- 13:49Speaker 4: them that I like Fisher, I would like the cut
- 13:52Speaker 4: of his jib. I would also more like Trek Schouble
- 13:55Speaker 4: starting Game one for the Brewers in the DS.
- 13:58Speaker 2: It's getting to the thing where these prospects and you're
- 14:01Speaker 2: looking at these minor league numbers and it's just eye popping,
- 14:03Speaker 2: and it's like, look at all these good players they
- 14:05Speaker 2: have right as I like to warrn the cautionary tale
- 14:08Speaker 2: prospect is it comes from the Latin prospectus hasn't done
- 14:12Speaker 2: crap in the big leagues yet, thank you.
- 14:14Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:14Speaker 2: When the Brewers acquired Cec Sabbathia, they sent Matt Laporta,
- 14:17Speaker 2: Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson, all of whom are now selling
- 14:21Speaker 2: insurance somewhere h and then the player to be named
- 14:24Speaker 2: later in the deal later was Michael Brantley. Michael Brantley
- 14:28Speaker 2: ended up playing in like four maybe five All Star Games,
- 14:31Speaker 2: and no one's like, god, we should have kept Michael Branley,
- 14:33Speaker 2: Like you never heard that he was just forgotten and
- 14:37Speaker 2: he played with Cleveland and Houston and he's a good,
- 14:39Speaker 2: solid major league player, legacy player, and no one, no
- 14:44Speaker 2: one would say, oh, we shouldn't have made that.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Deals got Yelich.
- 14:47Speaker 2: They gave up some guys, and the guys like they
- 14:50Speaker 2: didn't want to give up, and none of those guys
- 14:53Speaker 2: that really panned out them.
- 14:54Speaker 3: The other one in that same time frame of the
- 14:57Speaker 3: Laporta in Brandley leaving, was that similar right around the
- 15:01Speaker 3: same time of Matt Gamble who felt like he was
- 15:03Speaker 3: always this declared untouchable by the organization for a long time, right,
- 15:06Speaker 3: and there was there were a number at different times,
- 15:08Speaker 3: whether again just rumors on mlbtrade rumors dot Com at
- 15:12Speaker 3: the time, which was a highly trafficked site on my
- 15:15Speaker 3: family computer, was whether it was for one of those
- 15:19Speaker 3: giant starters, right, like Matt Kin back in the day,
- 15:22Speaker 3: and like at some point you're like, well, Matt Gambill
- 15:25Speaker 3: better come up and be awesome and said he came
- 15:27Speaker 3: up and he was a four A guy like it
- 15:29Speaker 3: and then got hurt and like most guys, doesn't pan
- 15:32Speaker 3: out in the big league. So it's difficult when you
- 15:35Speaker 3: do love and you want to be able to hold
- 15:38Speaker 3: on to some of the future. I just I also
- 15:41Speaker 3: the more and more, like I heard Buster only talking
- 15:43Speaker 3: on this really cool podcast I forget the name of
- 15:45Speaker 3: it earlier today, but Buster was the reason why I listened.
- 15:47Speaker 3: And Buster gave the another little bit of the bread crumb.
- 15:52Speaker 3: He's like, you know, and Mark Antonassio has held off,
- 15:56Speaker 3: but this guy likes winning, and this guy likes and
- 16:00Speaker 3: wants to be I don't, I can't. I don't want
- 16:02Speaker 3: to misquote him, but it made it sound like there
- 16:05Speaker 3: could be pressures the wrong way of putting it, but
- 16:08Speaker 3: even more of gentle nudges by the ownership of Hey, yeah,
- 16:11Speaker 3: this has been really fun. This summer of entertainment and
- 16:13Speaker 3: excitement is is definitely what we wanted. But we are
- 16:16Speaker 3: going to get a little bit more playoff revenue, and
- 16:18Speaker 3: I'd love to know what that World Series revenue looks
- 16:20Speaker 3: like because we could go in and as much as
- 16:22Speaker 3: nine point six millions. Not an easy thing for the
- 16:25Speaker 3: Brewers to consume at this point of the season.
- 16:28Speaker 1: They'll make it up with.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Forty thousand Brewers fans packing the stadium Because I think
- 16:32Speaker 3: he's right now and I'm going into the mind of
- 16:36Speaker 3: somebody I've never met.
- 16:37Speaker 1: That's a dangerous thing to do.
- 16:38Speaker 3: But the way that people are talking about it feels
- 16:41Speaker 3: like Mark Ottanasio is letting everybody know, Hey, it's not
- 16:44Speaker 3: only you have the green light. I would like to
- 16:47Speaker 3: see you push the gas pedal to get us through
- 16:49Speaker 3: the intersection.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean that goes along with what Jim
- 16:52Speaker 4: Bowden said on foul Territory as well, saying that he
- 16:55Speaker 4: get you know, man, Marc Anascio has given the quote
- 16:57Speaker 4: green light to Matt Arnold, and of course that goes
- 17:00Speaker 4: along with the reports of them wanting to be more
- 17:02Speaker 4: aggressive and all the smoke that there is to this
- 17:05Speaker 4: fire of the tech Schooble or being aggressive in general
- 17:09Speaker 4: at this trade deadline, so that it all lines up
- 17:11Speaker 4: and it's not necessarily something we have heard in the
- 17:14Speaker 4: past around the trade deadline. So that's what makes me
- 17:17Speaker 4: think that over the next three days or three and
- 17:19Speaker 4: a half four days, there could be something that we
- 17:22Speaker 4: usually don't see from the Brewers. But it's so hard
- 17:25Speaker 4: for us to think that's going to happen until we
- 17:28Speaker 4: see it, because we literally have not seen if we're
- 17:31Speaker 4: talking to tech Schooble type of deal, we have not
- 17:34Speaker 4: seen that deal in season since two thousand and eight.
- 17:36Speaker 4: You can compare it to Granki or Yelich, but those
- 17:38Speaker 4: are both off season moves. This is a two thousand
- 17:40Speaker 4: and eight. You know, this has not happened in eighteen years,
- 17:43Speaker 4: and so it's it's hard for us to believe until
- 17:45Speaker 4: we see it.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Yep.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Absolutely eight seven, seven, seven, nine, four one ninety seven three.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Share your thoughts on the deadline with us. Any questions
- 17:52Speaker 2: about Packers in the first two days of camp. Billy
- 17:54Speaker 2: is here till seven o'clock. Then he's got a bail
- 17:57Speaker 2: and hit the road.
- 18:00Speaker 3: One friend of ours, Chris Jones, yesterday, they commented in
- 18:03Speaker 3: either right at the end of our day show or
- 18:06Speaker 3: our training camp live show, or during Hunters Baseball tonight, said,
- 18:10Speaker 3: are just wondering if you guys will be broadcasting Sunday
- 18:12Speaker 3: or Monday up in Green Bay when I'll have the
- 18:14Speaker 3: family up there. We'll be on Monday, Monday and Tuesday
- 18:16Speaker 3: next week. Every day during the Monday through Friday work
- 18:19Speaker 3: week that they have public practice, we will be up there.
- 18:21Speaker 3: So we will not be up there the two Sundays.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Sunday is a tough one to miss though, full pads
- 18:26Speaker 3: first full pads. That's a disappointing and tough one to miss. However,
- 18:30Speaker 3: we're gonna bring it even more coming up on Monday.
- 18:33Speaker 3: So Chris, come by and say hi to us over
- 18:34Speaker 3: there on the perch. As they get closer to it,
- 18:39Speaker 3: does it feel like a lot of the fans will
- 18:40Speaker 3: think it's scoble or bust, Like if they get multiple
- 18:43Speaker 3: really impact players to the Dodgers, it's gonna be deflating
- 18:48Speaker 3: no matter what the Brewers do.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Yeh, that's fair. Yeah.
- 18:52Speaker 3: And the best part is it would even make it
- 18:55Speaker 3: sweeter to knock them off at the end of the year.
- 18:59Speaker 1: It would it would make it.
- 19:00Speaker 3: It would make it all the much sweeter to have
- 19:03Speaker 3: Robbie Ray, who is just went six innings and one
- 19:06Speaker 3: uh one. Ernie yesterday only walked one, struck out six.
- 19:09Speaker 3: That will be audition. Come on, big left hander Robbie Ray.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Last month and a half, guy's got the best dram.
- 19:15Speaker 2: That was an audition for a trade. Yeah, and I
- 19:17Speaker 2: like it And I were just there.
- 19:18Speaker 3: And the other reason why I like Robbie Ray is
- 19:20Speaker 3: Drew my man wears the tightest and shortest sleeves you've
- 19:23Speaker 3: ever seen. Like, my man is damn near wearing a
- 19:26Speaker 3: muscle tank and while he's out pitching unto if you.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Combine his shirt with Ben'sprots pants.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Oh, but I gotta believe, given his infinity, given his
- 19:35Speaker 2: affinity for Milwaukee, if it's close, Zach Manassi is gonna
- 19:38Speaker 2: throw the Brewers at bone. Come on, come on, let's
- 19:40Speaker 2: help help saying I like it, not that he's going
- 19:43Speaker 2: to give the guy away, but you know what I'm saying.
- 19:44Speaker 3: No, but that's that's one Drew where the smoke has
- 19:48Speaker 3: been like, it's gonna cost mostly money, and if you're
- 19:50Speaker 3: willing to pay the money for schoobl then the money
- 19:53Speaker 3: is available.
- 19:53Speaker 1: That shouldn't be a stuff. It's less.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, when we come back, we'll spend through
- 19:57Speaker 2: a little Who's hot, Who's not? Brought just by Donovan.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Continue to get Billy's thoughts about camp. Yesterday's a couple
- 20:02Speaker 2: other questions I'm dying to have the answer to, and
- 20:06Speaker 2: one of them is about the offensive line as well.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Billy's wheelhouse. Oh, in their front and center, Baby, you
- 20:14Speaker 2: purchase right there so you can watch those guys closely.
- 20:17Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 20:18Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew, Billy
- 20:20Speaker 2: and Hunts are bringing it to the huddle. Fox Sports
- 20:22Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin. It's the Friday edition. Fridays always hit different
- 20:26Speaker 2: on the program, especially when you got Brewers playing an
- 20:29Speaker 2: AMP tonight. I personally though, I don't know what I'm
- 20:33Speaker 2: going to be feeling like tonight, but I like West
- 20:36Speaker 2: Coast games when the team on weekends because you can
- 20:41Speaker 2: do whatever you want at night and they at home
- 20:43Speaker 2: and still watch the ball, or you can make that
- 20:45Speaker 2: your your destination. You can watch it while you're out
- 20:48Speaker 2: at establishments. Oh, let's get one more Beard's the eighth
- 20:50Speaker 2: inning game. It's like it's there for you, and I'm here.
- 20:54Speaker 1: I dig it.
- 20:55Speaker 2: I like that weekends now week weeknights. I don't like
- 20:59Speaker 2: the that I'm usually passed out by the time they
- 21:02Speaker 2: you know, by the time the defensive pictures like come on.
- 21:06Speaker 3: That's a tough one. I thought one of Maybe it
- 21:09Speaker 3: was last year or two years ago. The Brewers were
- 21:12Speaker 3: out in LA while we were up north, and it
- 21:15Speaker 3: was about the coolest experience you could have because the
- 21:18Speaker 3: only thing we were getting was the radio reception. I
- 21:20Speaker 3: got no phone reception whatsoever, so I couldn't check anything
- 21:24Speaker 3: throughout the day. But during the campfire, you didn't. You
- 21:27Speaker 3: were listening to the baseball game, and that was phenomenal. Now,
- 21:31Speaker 3: not nearly as good as being able to be out
- 21:34Speaker 3: on a Friday night in the mid mid twenties and
- 21:37Speaker 3: have the ballgame on, and then also be able to,
- 21:39Speaker 3: as Arman would thinks, spit game by telling somebody about
- 21:42Speaker 3: how great your five hole hitters war is and then
- 21:44Speaker 3: all of a sudden realizing that's probably a strikeout model.
- 21:47Speaker 1: But I'm with you, it is.
- 21:48Speaker 3: It is a good one on weekends because it's also
- 21:52Speaker 3: a good incentive for me to be able to stay
- 21:55Speaker 3: up and play video games. And that is as a
- 21:58Speaker 3: now rapidly aging thirty one year old dad of two,
- 22:02Speaker 3: I don't crowbar enough time out for me to play on.
- 22:05Speaker 2: The sticks, especially with you know, Madden and stuff and.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Correct yes, and the new NC double A games out.
- 22:12Speaker 3: I gotta pickure out.
- 22:12Speaker 2: She's gonna say, by the way, gun to your head,
- 22:15Speaker 2: you can only play one game for the rest of
- 22:16Speaker 2: your life.
- 22:17Speaker 3: Is it NC Double A or Madden. Oh that's a
- 22:20Speaker 3: tough question. Wow, that's a tough question. I'm gonna go Madden.
- 22:24Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Madden. Madden simply because I just love
- 22:29Speaker 3: playing with the packers. Wait, I think there would be
- 22:31Speaker 3: more variety and like challenges and like you know, there's
- 22:34Speaker 3: one thousand percent more stuff to do and more deeper
- 22:37Speaker 3: stuff to go to college. Yeah, yeah, And that's the problem.
- 22:40Speaker 3: That's exactly the problem I don't have. I don't have
- 22:42Speaker 3: enough time, right, Like, so I want to dive in
- 22:45Speaker 3: and do all this recruiting and nil deals for my
- 22:47Speaker 3: seventeen year old recruits in the Dynasty mode, but I
- 22:50Speaker 3: only get forty minutes before I fall asleep in the
- 22:53Speaker 3: middle of the third quarter, so I need to get
- 22:55Speaker 3: into game play game and then probably hit the sack
- 22:59Speaker 3: so I would go. Although this is the first year
- 23:01Speaker 3: Drew probably in about six or seven years that I'm
- 23:04Speaker 3: not buying it. I'm not buying it because I'm not
- 23:07Speaker 3: loading up my freaking PlayStation every single day and seeing
- 23:10Speaker 3: Caleb Williams on there. Sorry, not doing it so that
- 23:12Speaker 3: I will keep my seventy dollars this year and they
- 23:15Speaker 3: will not be getting it out of me.
- 23:17Speaker 1: I'll see again in twenty eight.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Man, love it, Love it eight seven seven seven nine
- 23:20Speaker 2: four one three nicolay Lot dot Com talk text on
- 23:22Speaker 2: time for a little Who's Hot Who's Not? Brought to
- 23:24Speaker 2: you by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling. They're the best
- 23:28Speaker 2: locally in the Milwaukee area. Donovan Jorgenson dot com employee
- 23:32Speaker 2: owned for forty years for all your air duct, air conditioning,
- 23:36Speaker 2: furnace needs, residential, commercial. Donovan Jorgenson, Bill, you got any
- 23:41Speaker 2: candidates for Who's Hot Who's Not?
- 23:42Speaker 1: Uh?
- 23:42Speaker 3: Yeah, how about one in the Twins Cities? Now the
- 23:45Speaker 3: Minnesota Twins were right on the cell byline, and yesterday,
- 23:50Speaker 3: down three nothing going into the bottom of the ninth,
- 23:53Speaker 3: felt like they were absolutely going to be selling. And
- 23:56Speaker 3: then after a couple of walks, a base hit then
- 24:00Speaker 3: stepped up young man Cody Clemmens, thirty year old left
- 24:05Speaker 3: handed stick hits the grandest of grand slams, a walk
- 24:10Speaker 3: off Grand Slam to win it for to three for
- 24:12Speaker 3: the Twinkies. They beat the Royals for three yesterday they're
- 24:15Speaker 3: fifty five, and fifty five might sound like the definition
- 24:18Speaker 3: of average, but it's also three games out in the
- 24:21Speaker 3: Al Central and for a wild card just one game back.
- 24:24Speaker 3: So I think the Twins are going to be buying
- 24:26Speaker 3: instead of selling, because they just bought a reliever last night.
- 24:28Speaker 4: Yeah they did. Let's the Royals have been awful of
- 24:31Speaker 4: blowing games this year. Let's hear their TV call when
- 24:33Speaker 4: this went down. No words, no words? Well then, and
- 24:38Speaker 4: then the guys, I don't know what to say.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Part of the no words was also hot yesterday was
- 24:45Speaker 3: Royal starting pitcher Noah Cameron, who took a no hitter,
- 24:49Speaker 3: not into the sixth, not in the seventh, but into
- 24:51Speaker 3: the eighth inning when it was broken up he goes
- 24:55Speaker 3: seven no hit innings, gives up the no gives up
- 24:58Speaker 3: the hit, and and then quickly the Twins end up winning.
- 25:02Speaker 3: And the Royals are eighteen games under five hundred. That's
- 25:07Speaker 3: about as top of a loss as you possibly can have.
- 25:10Speaker 3: Yesterday there for Kansas City.
- 25:11Speaker 2: That's who's smashed into Who's hot and who's not?
- 25:13Speaker 1: Right there?
- 25:14Speaker 3: Oh my god? Also hot the White Sox. They went
- 25:16Speaker 3: back to back extra inning games against the Yankees. The
- 25:19Speaker 3: Bronx Bombers are one in eight this year, worse than
- 25:22Speaker 3: baseball and extra inning games.
- 25:23Speaker 2: And the Cubs I think have the best record in
- 25:25Speaker 2: extra inning games. They've played like fifteen.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I was gonna say they've played a ton.
- 25:28Speaker 3: They won one yesterday again four to the final against
- 25:31Speaker 3: the Cardinals, and they win three of four in Saint
- 25:35Speaker 3: Louis Cardinals. How about not hot since the All Star Break?
- 25:38Speaker 1: They can't.
- 25:39Speaker 3: They went into the All Star Break right in the
- 25:41Speaker 3: midst of the wild card race. Now they're under five
- 25:43Speaker 3: hundred after they've slid back now three games fifty four
- 25:47Speaker 3: and fifty five.
- 25:47Speaker 1: They've lost seven of their last ten.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Definitely in the not category there For who's hot, Donavin
- 25:52Speaker 2: Jorgensen dot Com, the website for who's hot and who's not.
- 25:56Speaker 3: And I'll be hot today, I'll tell you that much.
- 25:58Speaker 3: I'll be very, very hot. I would have sitting there.
- 26:00Speaker 2: On rain this afternoon, but the Packers will probably be
- 26:03Speaker 2: off the field by the time that hits.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Yeah and Drew.
- 26:05Speaker 3: There's just this wild ability in football, in high school football,
- 26:10Speaker 3: youth football especially UH and then college and pro when
- 26:14Speaker 3: you are going to practice, the rain will somehow subside,
- 26:18Speaker 3: and then immediately after practice dump buckets, and then immediately
- 26:23Speaker 3: before practice the skies will open up. And then right
- 26:27Speaker 3: about if you're set to hit the field at ten
- 26:29Speaker 3: forty five, right about ten twenty, it'll just be this
- 26:32Speaker 3: little bit of a clear coach will walk out there
- 26:34Speaker 3: and say, we can hit the grass today.
- 26:36Speaker 1: That's what I like to see. Then a deep breath.
- 26:39Speaker 3: It's just a crazy phenomenon in sports where all of
- 26:42Speaker 3: a sudden, just this bubble goes right over the field.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I assume that'll happen here today for the Packers to
- 26:46Speaker 3: hit the grass, maybe a little bit longer today, I'm
- 26:49Speaker 3: not positive. Day one off the field right at twelve o'clock,
- 26:54Speaker 3: and yesterday pretty much Kurt quick hour and a half.
- 26:58Speaker 1: We'll see if they go a little bit longer with
- 27:00Speaker 1: the off date tomorrow. All right, eight seven.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Three, We've got Greg online, one of the Nicolay Law
- 27:06Speaker 2: dot com talking text on Greg.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Welcome to the program.
- 27:09Speaker 5: Morning Greg, Good morning you guys, mister positive boom shack
- 27:14Speaker 5: a lacah. Everybody, go for your dreams. I got to
- 27:17Speaker 5: ask you in Detroit, we're worried about Scooba. A lot
- 27:22Speaker 5: of people want him to go go figure two times
- 27:26Speaker 5: say award winner, and we don't want him because he's
- 27:29Speaker 5: noncommittal and that he just feels that people here don't
- 27:33Speaker 5: feel that he has great love for Detroit because he's
- 27:38Speaker 5: not you know, hey, Turk, do you want to play
- 27:41Speaker 5: for the Tigers? Well, we got to talk to whatever.
- 27:44Speaker 5: You know how he says it, and you know, it's
- 27:46Speaker 5: just amazing that we're going to lose, hopefully not somebody
- 27:51Speaker 5: that is a two time say Young Award winner and
- 27:53Speaker 5: uh is a little pit bull out there on the mound.
- 27:57Speaker 3: And yeah, now would you wouldn't you prefer though, to
- 28:02Speaker 3: have him closer to home and closer to Detroit than
- 28:05Speaker 3: sending him out to the big bad Blue Dodgers, Like,
- 28:07Speaker 3: wouldn't it warm your heart a little bit more, knowing
- 28:10Speaker 3: your NFC North brethren was the ones that were capitalizing
- 28:13Speaker 3: on those last two months before he makes that four
- 28:15Speaker 3: hundred million dollars pay day.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Yes, I guess he can go to Milwaukee and take
- 28:21Speaker 5: you guys to the Promised Land. I hear you. Yeah,
- 28:24Speaker 5: I don't want him at the Dodgers, no matter what
- 28:26Speaker 5: I mean. It's just it's not right. But yeah, yeah,
- 28:30Speaker 5: he's part he could go there. Are you guys willing
- 28:34Speaker 5: to give him forty to fifty million a year?
- 28:36Speaker 1: No, zero chance. No, this is greg and we appreciate it.
- 28:39Speaker 5: Man.
- 28:40Speaker 3: This is uh, this is straight mercenary, right, we understand
- 28:43Speaker 3: that week too. Yeah, we only want him for the
- 28:46Speaker 3: three months. Ye, and we hope that and we really
- 28:50Speaker 3: hope him. All wish him all of the best in
- 28:52Speaker 3: his future endeavors. But we're gonna try to load up
- 28:54Speaker 3: that left arm.
- 28:55Speaker 1: As much as possible. Wait, we will load up that
- 28:57Speaker 1: left arm. Just do it again, Just do it again,
- 29:01Speaker 1: for sure.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he wants to throw every other day in the playoffs, Trek.
- 29:05Speaker 3: We're not gonna mark th Rosa you like he did
- 29:07Speaker 3: in the WBC and say you can only pitch one
- 29:10Speaker 3: time you take that rock, Son, you go and take
- 29:12Speaker 3: that pill whenever you want it.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Got a tweet four minutes ago from Robert Stanbury, Buster
- 29:16Speaker 2: only the third come on Buster. The Dodgers have the
- 29:20Speaker 2: most wins in MLB, and according to Fangrafts, their chances
- 29:22Speaker 2: of getting a first round bystand at ninety seven percent,
- 29:26Speaker 2: so Tark Scooble would likely be limited to four or
- 29:29Speaker 2: so starts in the last three weeks of October. The
- 29:32Speaker 2: greatest practical value for the Dodgers to acquire Schooble is
- 29:35Speaker 2: to keep them away from other contenders.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Now that would just be them.
- 29:40Speaker 2: We just talked about that with Hunters, because because they
- 29:44Speaker 2: don't they can win the World Series legitimate and like would.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Be favored without him.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Mm hmm, correct, right, So they don't really need it
- 29:52Speaker 2: now with Otani's future as a pitcher uncertain. If Otani
- 29:56Speaker 2: can't pitch next year and can only be the DH
- 29:59Speaker 2: google can be that placement, right and be a top
- 30:01Speaker 2: line and they can afford him. It's where he wants
- 30:03Speaker 2: to go anyway. It's just a matter of like do
- 30:05Speaker 2: they want him for those four starts and to keep
- 30:07Speaker 2: him away from Milwaukee And then because they're gonna sign
- 30:08Speaker 2: him next year anyway.
- 30:09Speaker 3: I was gonna say he's gonna be a Dodger I
- 30:11Speaker 3: think in twenty seven regardless.
- 30:12Speaker 2: So it's a matter of like, does he have a
- 30:14Speaker 2: little stop on the way, like you know, CC Sabbathew
- 30:17Speaker 2: was probably gonna be a Yankee. Yes, that was kind
- 30:19Speaker 2: of ticketed with a stop in Milwaukee. So it's very
- 30:22Speaker 2: similar in that regard.
- 30:23Speaker 3: The other part for the Dodgers, as much as it
- 30:26Speaker 3: is keep away, they do kind they don't need him.
- 30:29Speaker 1: That's the wrong way of putting it.
- 30:30Speaker 3: But Snell has pitched like two innings all year, I
- 30:34Speaker 3: mean place Snell has not played much at all. Glass
- 30:36Speaker 3: now is still coming off the IL. Now we remember
- 30:39Speaker 3: how he came off the IL last year pretty damn good.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Pretty well at the end of the year for Tyler
- 30:44Speaker 3: Glass Now when he came off the IL, we got
- 30:45Speaker 3: to see him shove there. And Yamamoto the World Series
- 30:48Speaker 3: MVP might be even better than he is before. But Sazaki,
- 30:51Speaker 3: that doesn't look like it's been a massive hit in
- 30:54Speaker 3: the rotation. They could definitely use a starter. Yeah, it
- 30:58Speaker 3: depends on if they want to gut that farm system again.
- 31:01Speaker 3: But the thing is with the Dodgers. And this is
- 31:03Speaker 3: the sick twisted part about it. Freedmen and them have
- 31:06Speaker 3: been so good at replenishing the best farm system year
- 31:10Speaker 3: in and year out that they do this stuff all
- 31:13Speaker 3: the time. Yep, Like they have year in. The Brewers
- 31:16Speaker 3: have battled for five or six years to try to
- 31:20Speaker 3: get themselves to the best farm system in baseball, and
- 31:22Speaker 3: we got it, and they still got more of those
- 31:24Speaker 3: top one hundred cats.
- 31:25Speaker 5: Now.
- 31:26Speaker 3: I don't know what Jim Kallis ranking ends up being
- 31:28Speaker 3: or the Baseball America baseball perspective, but they're continually pumping
- 31:31Speaker 3: them in because they're developing these players as well as
- 31:34Speaker 3: then going and buying the best ones. So they're good
- 31:37Speaker 3: at making the cake and then eating it too. Like
- 31:39Speaker 3: that that's the toughest part. They literally they traded Jordan
- 31:42Speaker 3: Alvarez for a guy that didn't even make their playoff
- 31:44Speaker 3: roster at one point in time, and now he might
- 31:48Speaker 3: win the MVP and they're in line to win three
- 31:50Speaker 3: straight titles. Like it's a sick player development that they
- 31:53Speaker 3: have there, and if they want them, they can have them.
- 31:57Speaker 1: But I just I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe they
- 32:02Speaker 1: go and get it and somehow some issues flare up.
- 32:05Speaker 3: That is going to be wishing upon the greatest of
- 32:08Speaker 3: demons entering that clubhouse rooting against the Dodgers in the
- 32:12Speaker 3: playoffs this year, because I mean.
- 32:13Speaker 1: If they get Schooble, I saw some I can't remember what.
- 32:16Speaker 3: I've been listening to every baseball podcast known to man
- 32:19Speaker 3: around this deadline. Somebody had said it of what happens
- 32:24Speaker 3: when if the Brewers would acquire schoobl Do they become
- 32:28Speaker 3: the favorite?
- 32:29Speaker 1: No, the Dodgers are still an overwhelming betting favorite to win. Yeah, yep, just.
- 32:33Speaker 3: When the Dodgers acquire him, they become a minus four
- 32:36Speaker 3: hundred favorite to win the World Series or to make
- 32:40Speaker 3: it to the World Series, I.
- 32:41Speaker 4: Think, which you know, you can look at it a
- 32:43Speaker 4: couple of ways. Obviously, the Brewers have never won a
- 32:46Speaker 4: World Series. They haven't been there since eighty two, so
- 32:48Speaker 4: there's pressure a little bit there of Okay, I say,
- 32:51Speaker 4: you win the Division again, you get a buy It's like,
- 32:54Speaker 4: all right, at some point, get to the World Series.
- 32:56Speaker 4: But then on the other hand, it's like nobody expects
- 32:58Speaker 4: you to beat the Dodgers. Go out and play with
- 33:00Speaker 4: as much freedom as Pat Murphy likes his teams to
- 33:03Speaker 4: play with. So there's a couple of ways to look
- 33:05Speaker 4: at that if you do match up with them in
- 33:07Speaker 4: the postseason. That Bob Nightingale just put out an article.
- 33:10Speaker 4: The Tigers, as of late last night, still have yet
- 33:12Speaker 4: to officially inform teams that they are definitely trading Schooble.
- 33:16Speaker 4: One GM said quote, I keep waiting, but nothing yet.
- 33:20Speaker 4: It's getting late. So wow, the Tigers still haven't like
- 33:25Speaker 4: what they're gonna trade them like that they're gonna that'd
- 33:29Speaker 4: be malpractice, it would be absolutely.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Well and what do you guys think of the trade
- 33:33Speaker 3: half of their guys and not all of them, like
- 33:35Speaker 3: because I've heard some people saying, well, they want to
- 33:37Speaker 3: still have a chance to win, so maybe they trade
- 33:40Speaker 3: school with don't trade Mize and don't trade Trus.
- 33:43Speaker 1: To me, that would be dumb. You just traded the
- 33:44Speaker 1: best guy.
- 33:45Speaker 3: At this point, you might as well reload it all
- 33:48Speaker 3: up and see what you can do in twenty seven
- 33:51Speaker 3: with more of it. I also wonder if the major
- 33:52Speaker 3: league talent the Brewers have will be appealing right.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Sheehan is a great one.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Robeleski for the Dodgers obvious, great, young, controllable, starting pitcher
- 34:02Speaker 3: Brandon Sprot.
- 34:03Speaker 1: I would prefer not to have to give up Logan Henderson.
- 34:06Speaker 3: But you got a number of those guys too that
- 34:08Speaker 3: are controllable, young starting pitchers that would meet the asking price.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Just got to be willing to willing to give a
- 34:14Speaker 3: Louis Payana, who I hope is a phenomenal baseball player,
- 34:18Speaker 3: but if he plays in the ty for the Tigers
- 34:20Speaker 3: and never for the Brewers, I'll be okay.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Well, okay, it's twenty nine, so be all right. Take
- 34:23Speaker 1: a quick break.
- 34:24Speaker 2: You are in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, huddled
- 34:28Speaker 2: up on a Friday. It's Drew Billy Hunter, bomguard in
- 34:30Speaker 2: for Arman today. Billy's on his way up to practice
- 34:33Speaker 2: right after this segment of the program, Day three of
- 34:36Speaker 2: the Packers on the grass pads go on Sunday Monday,
- 34:39Speaker 2: start hitting in earnest. We are one week away from
- 34:43Speaker 2: Family Night, yes, sir, craziest and we are less than
- 34:46Speaker 2: two weeks. We're thirteen days away basically from the preseason
- 34:51Speaker 2: opener at a Kreezier Stadium in Pittsburgh.
- 34:54Speaker 3: I hit Wayne with that yesterday as we were getting
- 34:56Speaker 3: off him, like just so you know, two weeks from today,
- 34:57Speaker 3: you'll be getting ready for the pregame show. He's like, well, what, oh,
- 35:01Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll be I
- 35:04Speaker 3: guess I'll probably getting close to the bus there at
- 35:06Speaker 3: two weeks from today a Thursday night six o'clock kick
- 35:09Speaker 3: against the Steelers for their first preseason game. And we
- 35:12Speaker 3: talked about it too, Drew, like, cause Wayne and I
- 35:15Speaker 3: both believe the Packers want to and will get some
- 35:17Speaker 3: of their players out during preseason right like they've played
- 35:20Speaker 3: Jordan Love at least a series in each of the
- 35:22Speaker 3: last couple of preseasons. Zach Tom mentioned like he wants
- 35:25Speaker 3: to play some to be able to knock some rust off,
- 35:28Speaker 3: but it's hard to say that it makes sense to
- 35:30Speaker 3: play him in the first one because they play August thirteenth,
- 35:33Speaker 3: and they don't play their first regular season game till
- 35:35Speaker 3: September thirteenth, Like it's just such a huge layoff that
- 35:39Speaker 3: how much how much better are you for playing two
- 35:43Speaker 3: series a month ago? And generally you're not going to
- 35:46Speaker 3: put anybody worth their salt in that last preseason game,
- 35:49Speaker 3: but that one might make more sense because you're like
- 35:51Speaker 3: two and a half weeks away from when you play
- 35:53Speaker 3: a real game.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Pretty wild.
- 35:54Speaker 2: It's it's coming up quick, hey, time for our current
- 35:57Speaker 2: electric superhero the day and I got the candidate.
- 35:59Speaker 5: Let's go.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I know you were busy and most people were brewers
- 36:03Speaker 2: were off. But if you happen to stumble onto the
- 36:05Speaker 2: Nationals Braves broadcast on ESPN, you heard Karl Ravitch in
- 36:08Speaker 2: the booth. That's a great one. He's been laid off
- 36:11Speaker 2: by ESPN, but he still called the game. He's gonna
- 36:13Speaker 2: do a Yankees game down the road, and he's going
- 36:15Speaker 2: to do the Little League World Series. Because he's krl
- 36:17Speaker 2: Ravich and he's a gamer, and he's and he's a
- 36:19Speaker 2: freaking pro. They don't have to worry about him like
- 36:21Speaker 2: you know, yes, like walking out of the booth and
- 36:24Speaker 2: dropping f bombs and telling management to kisses buttocks correct,
- 36:28Speaker 2: that's pretty wild. It's pretty classy of him to do that.
- 36:31Speaker 3: I was just going to say, Drew, isn't it crazy
- 36:33Speaker 3: when you allow somebody to work in elegance and grace
- 36:36Speaker 3: and you know, have a send off.
- 36:38Speaker 1: My man's called baseball on that station.
- 36:40Speaker 3: For thirty three years, my entire life, I've watched Carl
- 36:43Speaker 3: Ravich on ESPN, right, and pretty much every one of
- 36:46Speaker 3: them has been like he was. He basically started baseball tonight, right,
- 36:51Speaker 3: I mean right there, he was basically starting Baseball tonight
- 36:54Speaker 3: and then became their play by play guy. It's not
- 36:57Speaker 3: his fault that ESPN decided to get out of the
- 36:59Speaker 3: play by play business mostly in baseball and decided that
- 37:01Speaker 3: they were going to air more Savannah Bananas games than
- 37:03Speaker 3: major league games. Like it's kind of honest, Like hear
- 37:07Speaker 3: they got two or three of them on every weekend. Yeah,
- 37:10Speaker 3: and that's a it's an awful split. But it's great
- 37:16Speaker 3: that they're allowing him to do it this way because he,
- 37:18Speaker 3: like you just said, he's a pro.
- 37:19Speaker 2: He's especially since he found out dismissal from a reporter.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Right because he had to get it dropped on by
- 37:24Speaker 3: marshand or something like.
- 37:26Speaker 2: So call Current dot Com. The superheroes on the side
- 37:28Speaker 2: of the van. Tell you that they're superheroes inside, ready

- 37:36Speaker 3: Yeah, they have fumbled a bag, ESPN did on every
- 37:38Speaker 3: one of these layoffs. It feels like you really have
- 37:40Speaker 3: and I mean I understand having to reassess it. And
- 37:44Speaker 3: businesses in corporate America have a lot of balance sheets
- 37:47Speaker 3: that they have to hit. But there's something to be
- 37:49Speaker 3: in a human being that you just can allow that space.
- 37:54Speaker 3: Even in the roughest and brutalist corporate jobs. I do
- 37:57Speaker 3: believe there is some spot for UH humans to allow
- 38:01Speaker 3: the thought process of maybe this is going to affect
- 38:04Speaker 3: people some way, maybe we should do this in a
- 38:06Speaker 3: more humane fashion.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Maybe that ever hits into into corporate America, we'll see. Maybe.
- 38:11Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I'm not gonna hold my breath. I'm definitely
- 38:14Speaker 3: not holding my breath because I like it too much.
- 38:16Speaker 2: From the seven to one to five, Dodgers won't get
- 38:18Speaker 2: Schooble now, they'll just sign him in the off season
- 38:19Speaker 2: and not give up a draft choice. Well, give up
- 38:22Speaker 2: a prospects and stuff too. Plus if we do get
- 38:25Speaker 2: him then he bolts in the off season. Do we
- 38:26Speaker 2: get a compensatory pick?
- 38:28Speaker 3: No, Nope, you do not get a compensatory pick if
- 38:31Speaker 3: you pick him up at the deadline, would have in
- 38:34Speaker 3: the off season?
- 38:34Speaker 1: Correct, Hunter, you know that's right.
- 38:36Speaker 3: I think I believe they have to be on your
- 38:38Speaker 3: team for the entire season to get the guy. Yes,
- 38:42Speaker 3: and Scoop would be a great one. Now teams have
- 38:45Speaker 3: looked at the compensatory pick a lot more valued than
- 38:48Speaker 3: than in years past.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Is that fair?
- 38:50Speaker 3: It seems like teams are like, sweet, I'll take it.
- 38:52Speaker 3: I'll take the thirtieth pick in the draft. If you
- 38:54Speaker 3: guys aren't gonna give me, you know, X, Y and
- 38:57Speaker 3: Z this one. He's just too good to allow for
- 39:01Speaker 3: a late first round pick to be your only return
- 39:03Speaker 3: when you're gonna potentially get two or three guys that
- 39:05Speaker 3: could be in the majors playing for you for six
- 39:07Speaker 3: years within the.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Next two it is the entire season. Okay, there you go. Uh,
- 39:11Speaker 2: here's a hypothetical for you. Would you rather have Tark
- 39:14Speaker 2: Schooble at whatever cost or Robbie Ray and Freddie Peralta
- 39:19Speaker 2: for less?
- 39:20Speaker 3: See, I I'm kinda on the second train. I'm kind
- 39:25Speaker 3: of on the second train, even though I really want Schooble.
- 39:29Speaker 3: I really want Schooble. I will very much be okay
- 39:32Speaker 3: if you grab a former cy Young Award winner and
- 39:35Speaker 3: somebody that cannot be as bad as he's been all
- 39:37Speaker 3: year long. Yeah, that that to me is the two
- 39:41Speaker 3: for one. There's no way Freddy's gonna be as bad
- 39:43Speaker 3: as he is right now. And Robbie Ray has got
- 39:47Speaker 3: big time games in way.
- 39:49Speaker 4: That they're willing to eat some of the giant Robbie
- 39:52Speaker 4: Ray's salary as well.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Get up, Okay, okay, now we're talking.
- 39:55Speaker 3: Now, we're talking San Francisco or Bob Nightingale moment buster,
- 39:58Speaker 3: cut into that paycheck and then we'll send you some talk.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Billy Save travels up forty three. You guys, have a
