Speaker 1: Monday edition of The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine
0:03
Speaker 1: to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, medisine everywhere on the iHeart apps,
0:06
Speaker 1: streaming live on Facebook X and YouTube. Drew Wilson joined
0:09
Speaker 1: by Hunter Bomgart, who is in for armand Sorry and Armen.
0:12
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow and we are happy to welcome
0:15
Speaker 1: our pow Bill Schmid to the party today morning, boys,
0:18
Speaker 1: on his way up to Green Bay for the first
0:20
Speaker 1: full padded practice of training camp.
0:24
Speaker 2: And finally now we can start in all those beautiful
0:26
Speaker 2: questions answered Drew that everybody's been asking, all of those
0:29
Speaker 2: training camp battles. The pads keep popping, and I'm not
0:32
Speaker 2: talking about those little handshields that they have to act
0:34
Speaker 2: like our pads for the first couple of days. Yeah,
0:38
Speaker 2: that's the worst gig ever. When you're one of the
0:40
Speaker 2: one of the linemen, you got to hold one of
0:41
Speaker 2: the pads. I would have totally gotten him there if
0:43
Speaker 2: I would have been able to use my hand a
0:45
Speaker 2: great safety blanket.
0:46
Speaker 3: But now all those excuses go out the window for
0:48
Speaker 3: the next couple of days.
0:49
Speaker 1: It's right, that's right. Obviously the top story today trade deadline.
0:54
Speaker 1: We are now what are we eleven hours away from
0:57
Speaker 1: the trade deadline in Major League Baseball, Brewers haven't made
1:00
Speaker 1: a significant move yet.
1:02
Speaker 2: No, and I don't know exactly how you guys have
1:05
Speaker 2: taken it over the last couple of hours, but man,
1:09
Speaker 2: are they the league's punching bag over the last thirty
1:12
Speaker 2: six hours after that deal went down on or near
1:15
Speaker 2: midnight on Saturday night.
1:18
Speaker 3: It just feels like ever and I totally understand it.
1:20
Speaker 2: Everybody, I think myself included, expected them to be one
1:24
Speaker 2: of the teams and I think they were one of
1:25
Speaker 2: the teams that tried to acquire him, but they have
1:29
Speaker 2: now become it feels like the uh poster child for well,
1:33
Speaker 2: these cheap owners just don't care about competitiveness when listen,
1:38
Speaker 2: cool if you want a twenty eight year old that's
1:40
Speaker 2: got what two shoulder or two arm surgeries more than
1:43
Speaker 2: a multitude of different prospects, or to have what seems
1:47
Speaker 2: like at all a conversation about it. I mean, I
1:49
Speaker 2: don't know if Nico Harrison was the GM of the
1:53
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks and he was the one that first instituted.
1:56
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna trade these guys and just not talk
1:57
Speaker 3: about it.
1:58
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let anybody know, I'm training one of the
2:00
Speaker 2: best players in the league. And it sounds like Scott
2:02
Speaker 2: Harris just took offers and it's cool, I'm taking that one. Like,
2:06
Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like there was a whole lot of negotiation,
2:08
Speaker 2: a whole lot of back and forth Drew and I
2:11
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe the Brewers would have been short in
2:14
Speaker 2: whatever offer they did. Maybe they did go go week
2:18
Speaker 2: on the compensation package. But everything that I'm seeing is
2:21
Speaker 2: they offered the best prospect, they offered the highest rated guy,
2:24
Speaker 2: and doesn't seem like there was a whole lot of conversations.
2:26
Speaker 2: So it's things they didn't get them. But now it's
2:31
Speaker 2: gonna be even a better story when you just win
2:33
Speaker 2: the whole bleeping win, the.
2:34
Speaker 1: Whole damn thing and the Bruce. Yeah, and it's like,
2:37
Speaker 1: well again, the Bruce. I'm looking at it, like, Okay,
2:40
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in October, they faced the Dodgers next week
2:43
Speaker 1: in LA But Dodgers in October, Dodgers in October, Well,
2:46
Speaker 1: you might not have to face them. Diamondbacks or Cubs
2:49
Speaker 1: beat them, you don't have to face them. And like
2:52
Speaker 1: the Brewers have to worry about everybody they have to
2:53
Speaker 1: worry about the next two months. Yeah, first of all,
2:56
Speaker 1: like the next two months are like, yeah, October's what
2:59
Speaker 1: you're building towards. You gotta get through the next two months.
3:01
Speaker 1: And then to me, it's like as as we look
3:05
Speaker 1: at it, yes, a trade will lift everybody's like, but
3:08
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel like a consolation prize now whatever they do, like, yeah,
3:12
Speaker 1: maybe not Hunters, Like if they get Robby Ray, you'll
3:14
Speaker 1: be thrilled because that's like about as good as you
3:15
Speaker 1: could expect them. You know, a solid lefty start would
3:18
Speaker 1: be great. But it's like it's not Schooble and said,
3:21
Speaker 1: we still can't be the Dodgers. And I said it before, Billy.
3:24
Speaker 1: If the Brews had landed schoobl we'd all be giddy today.
3:27
Speaker 1: But they still would be an underdog against the Dodgers,
3:30
Speaker 1: significant underdog. The planets have to align, and you're hoping
3:33
Speaker 1: that mizz And and schoobl would carry the day.
3:36
Speaker 2: And yesterday guess what did They still wouldn't have been
3:39
Speaker 2: carried because once you get four hits, yeah, exactly against
3:42
Speaker 2: a twenty two year old guy who I'll all due
3:44
Speaker 2: respect to him and his family, I'd never heard of
3:45
Speaker 2: him before. Now he was phenomenal yesterday. He was really
3:49
Speaker 2: good yesterday. But the Brewers we were.
3:52
Speaker 3: Absent in the batter's box.
3:54
Speaker 2: And if that happens like it did last year, it
3:56
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who you're thrown out on the mountain.
3:57
Speaker 1: Drew and School pitched by the way in the player
4:00
Speaker 1: last year and was masterful and still lost, like he's
4:03
Speaker 1: he lost all time nothing. Yeah, he lost a one
4:06
Speaker 1: nothing game, I think, Like.
4:08
Speaker 2: I think he had thirteen k's in there in their
4:10
Speaker 2: Game one against the Guardians. And this is the other
4:13
Speaker 2: part of it, as uh definite cope, right, Like I
4:16
Speaker 2: I admit that this is where this comes from. But
4:19
Speaker 2: to believe that he was going to come in and
4:21
Speaker 2: be the second coming of C. C. Sabathia, I think
4:25
Speaker 2: is one unfair to just how good and willing to
4:29
Speaker 2: throw himself on the line that Ceci was. He wasn't
4:32
Speaker 2: taking the ball every three days. Yeah, he wasn't throwing
4:35
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen hundred and eighteen pitches uh in
4:38
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, right, Like, I mean, they're already ty
4:40
Speaker 2: buster only as a really good one out yesterday in
4:42
Speaker 2: his podcast where he's like they're gonna ask him to
4:44
Speaker 2: make like five starts, and in in all reality, the Dodgers'
4:48
Speaker 2: best play here was to keep him away from the Brewers, yep,
4:52
Speaker 2: to the point where they don't necessarily need him to
4:54
Speaker 2: start a ton. He wasn't going to stretch himself out
4:57
Speaker 2: to a dangerous point. The guy just had so elbow
5:00
Speaker 2: surgery three months ago. So I don't believe the highest
5:05
Speaker 2: of high end was as good as we remember it
5:07
Speaker 2: with CC and the willingness and the gamesmanship. But again,
5:12
Speaker 2: that's a good code I'm playing myself into. It wouldn't
5:15
Speaker 2: have been as great as it could have been. So
5:17
Speaker 2: that's why I'm okay that they didn't give up Andrew
5:20
Speaker 2: Fisher and reportedly Logan Henderson, who I definitely didn't want.
5:22
Speaker 4: Them to be part of the point of the Dodgers
5:25
Speaker 4: keeping him away from the Brewers. You know, Alden Rod
5:28
Speaker 4: or gonzales I should say, who covers the Dodgers for ESPN?
5:32
Speaker 4: He said, And it might have been with Buster on
5:35
Speaker 4: his podcast on Friday, and I kind of made talked
5:38
Speaker 4: about this for a while on my show on Friday.
5:41
Speaker 4: He said basically that, like I think the Dodgers would
5:44
Speaker 4: have preferred that just Scooble would have not been traded
5:48
Speaker 4: like they would have preferred that, you know what, that
5:50
Speaker 4: he would have been The Tigers would have said, we're
5:53
Speaker 4: close enough and we're not going to trade him. We're
5:54
Speaker 4: going to keep him and try to make a run,
5:56
Speaker 4: And they would have preferred that, so then he wouldn't
5:59
Speaker 4: have gone to a.
6:00
Speaker 3: Competitor of theirs.
6:02
Speaker 4: To me, that's such like a that just that's what
6:05
Speaker 4: makes it even worse when you think.
6:06
Speaker 3: A big spitting in your face, yeah, thinks.
6:08
Speaker 4: About that that The Dodgers were sitting there late last
6:11
Speaker 4: week and went, well, all right, guys, I guess we
6:13
Speaker 4: got to put together a package for school. Well, guess
6:16
Speaker 4: we gotta go get them now. I mean, it's just
6:18
Speaker 4: the difference. It's just a different world that they are
6:21
Speaker 4: living in. And you can argue all the different World
6:24
Speaker 4: Series champions and parody and different things, and there's so
6:26
Speaker 4: many conversations that can be had there, but there's simply
6:30
Speaker 4: a different world that the Dodgers are living in right
6:33
Speaker 4: now than the Brewers are.
6:35
Speaker 3: And it just it is so apparent. And it was
6:36
Speaker 3: over the weekend once again.
6:38
Speaker 2: And and I don't know where I'll fully fall in
6:41
Speaker 2: on it because whenever the negotiations roll through, but that's
6:45
Speaker 2: where everybody goes. They fast forward to this winter, and
6:48
Speaker 2: the owners are doing a hell of a job, Drew.
6:51
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're watching Brewers TV, every single commercial break,
6:54
Speaker 2: we get one of those super special ads about how
6:57
Speaker 2: much more we care about you, the fans, we love you.
7:02
Speaker 3: They don't, they don't, how many teams don't even.
7:05
Speaker 2: Care, how many teams are instantly losing in all of
7:07
Speaker 2: these different ads that they're thrown out. And this is
7:09
Speaker 2: another great way in a rallying cry that you can
7:11
Speaker 2: point to of the small markets and the cheaper owners,
7:15
Speaker 2: the less money liquid owners, yeah right, the ones that
7:19
Speaker 2: don't own Googenheim, yeah, or Steve Cohen. But I don't
7:24
Speaker 2: fully know that a salary cap changes whatever competitive balance
7:28
Speaker 2: that we.
7:28
Speaker 3: Believe there is. The owners don't care about the competitive
7:30
Speaker 3: balance of it.
7:31
Speaker 1: They care about the money.
7:32
Speaker 2: They care that their franchise valuations are less than the
7:35
Speaker 2: NBA and the NFL significantly. They haven't grown significantly like
7:40
Speaker 2: all of those other ones have, and they want to
7:44
Speaker 2: expand they want to sell their teams and be able
7:46
Speaker 2: to cash in at some particular point in time.
7:48
Speaker 3: And that's I think what they believe is the next code.
7:51
Speaker 2: That they got to unlock to change these franchise franchise
7:53
Speaker 2: valuations where the padres were what just three and a
7:56
Speaker 2: half billion, I guess, so yeah, yeah, I mean now
8:00
Speaker 2: OXTYG just win.
8:00
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl a fingernail shy of ten.
8:04
Speaker 2: There's a significant difference there, and when you're looking at
8:07
Speaker 2: what NBA teams are going for, I think that's the
8:10
Speaker 2: biggest one that they point to.
8:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what the owners are about, like how do
8:13
Speaker 1: they get their values up? How do they and they
8:15
Speaker 1: are convinced that the cap will help them.
8:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also the easiest one to get all
8:21
Speaker 2: of the poor people like us to agree with the riches.
8:23
Speaker 1: And even the Dodgers don't care about a cap because
8:26
Speaker 1: they're still the Dodgers.
8:27
Speaker 2: Right, They're still going to be flying two team planes
8:29
Speaker 2: and have everybody wanting to go there.
8:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Well, And like I said, like I said
8:33
Speaker 1: it earlier, there's a cap in the NBA and the
8:35
Speaker 1: baseball has because when part of it's because it's the
8:37
Speaker 1: most volatile random sport. In the playoffs, because a three
8:40
Speaker 1: game series or a five game series, the best team
8:42
Speaker 1: doesn't always win, even a seven game series. The best
8:44
Speaker 1: team doesn't always win. But the Sacramento Kings still exists,
8:49
Speaker 1: and there's a capped league, and they no free agents
8:51
Speaker 1: go there, and they don't really sign there.
8:52
Speaker 3: They still exist.
8:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And there's the thing of pointing to leagues
8:57
Speaker 2: and saying that this is the only league we follow
8:59
Speaker 2: that money isn't transparent and equal everywhere. Well, the second
9:02
Speaker 2: biggest sport in America, college football, doesn't. And you could
9:06
Speaker 2: argue one of the biggest sports, if not the biggest
9:08
Speaker 2: sporting league in the world, doesn't in like the top
9:11
Speaker 2: three different international soccer leagues, right, Like, they have different
9:15
Speaker 2: systems that change and they revenue split, and I think
9:18
Speaker 2: baseball is doing a decent job of that. But just
9:22
Speaker 2: believing that this is a cure all that all of
9:25
Speaker 2: a sudden in LA is not gonna be some kind
9:27
Speaker 2: of mobilized weapon rolling through here with all of their talent.
9:31
Speaker 2: I just don't think that's the case. They do baseball
9:33
Speaker 2: very very well. They got it all planned out, They
9:35
Speaker 2: got a ton of different prospects. That being said, I
9:39
Speaker 2: don't think after he said this week and his agent
9:42
Speaker 2: put it out that he's going to LA he wants
9:44
Speaker 2: to be in LA I don't know that everybody pumped
9:46
Speaker 2: the brakes fully, but I think everybody's acceleration maybe just
9:49
Speaker 2: went off of the pedal just to teck ye right.
9:52
Speaker 2: I do think there's an understanding of if he's gonna
9:55
Speaker 2: go there anyway, I want him, no doubt, But what
9:59
Speaker 2: exactly am I getting for these next two to three months?
10:02
Speaker 3: Think that's a good question to ask.
10:03
Speaker 4: Jeff Passing basically said that other teams were resigned to
10:07
Speaker 4: the fact that he's probably going to the Dodgers, and
10:09
Speaker 4: that was late maybe Wednesday or Thursdays yes.
10:12
Speaker 3: Of last year.
10:12
Speaker 1: It's sure seemed that way, you know. And again the
10:15
Speaker 1: Dodgers will still get a lot of guys. It's like
10:18
Speaker 1: that's how it rolls.
10:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the funniest part is here they
10:22
Speaker 2: still have Kyle Tucker on their team, who's hitting like
10:25
Speaker 2: below major league average.
10:26
Speaker 3: He's got like a six ninety ohps.
10:28
Speaker 2: They're paying him sixty million dollars any other team that
10:31
Speaker 2: is crippling, and instead they'll just they'll trot him out
10:35
Speaker 2: there and if they got a pinch hit for him in.
10:37
Speaker 3: The playoffs, they will. I don't think like Dave.
10:39
Speaker 2: Roberts rolling them out there. That's a hell of a
10:41
Speaker 2: that's a hell of a way to be able to live.
10:43
Speaker 2: Everyone else can't live that way. Even though many people
10:46
Speaker 2: online wanted to tell you, every owner could be doing this,
10:50
Speaker 2: every team could be doing this, it's just so weird, Drew,
10:53
Speaker 2: because I sit right down the fence and half of
10:55
Speaker 2: the half of the things I like really on this side,
10:57
Speaker 2: and half of my look on this side of the fence.
10:59
Speaker 3: And the Dodger.
11:01
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are the emblematic, but we're and we're using them.
11:04
Speaker 1: See the big markets, all big markets, like Noah, the
11:07
Speaker 1: Mets suck, Yeah, the Angels suck. Yeah, the big markets,
11:10
Speaker 1: high revenue teams with unlimited resources, and they suck. So
11:15
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, Yes, they're going for three in a row,
11:17
Speaker 1: which is you know, unprecedented, the recent you know, last
11:21
Speaker 1: of recent vintage, right, and they're trying to win four
11:23
Speaker 1: to seven. But before that they went thirty four years
11:25
Speaker 1: without one of there's still the Dodgers. You always had
11:27
Speaker 1: the palm trees in Chevezervin, in the cool uniforms and
11:30
Speaker 1: the celebrities and everything that attracts. They didn't win for
11:33
Speaker 1: thirty four flipping years.
11:35
Speaker 2: And they've been this good for a long time, right,
11:37
Speaker 2: Like I was watching some twenty eighteen clips from Brewers
11:40
Speaker 2: and Cups. They were like on the doorstep of being
11:44
Speaker 2: this for the two years before eighteen when you played them,
11:46
Speaker 2: right Like, I mean they were they were knocking on
11:48
Speaker 2: the door. They couldn't get through, they couldn't get home.
11:50
Speaker 2: In nineteen, they won one hundred and nine games. One
11:52
Speaker 2: hundred and eight games. They got beaten the Lds, by
11:55
Speaker 2: the by the Nationals, the team that just got through
11:57
Speaker 2: the legs of Trent Grishman by the book.
11:59
Speaker 1: Exactly because Freeman and Betts didn't hit, Like baseball is
12:02
Speaker 1: more random than that, and so yes, that stuff can happen.
12:06
Speaker 1: It's just it's fascinating though, because the CBA thing is
12:09
Speaker 1: like clouding everybody's view of what it's.
12:11
Speaker 2: Where everybody went with this one, Yeah, quickly, quickly, And
12:15
Speaker 2: I understand because it's a like I said, it just
12:19
Speaker 2: keeps getting thrown in your face at every point you
12:21
Speaker 2: watch the games. And I understand when the folks that
12:25
Speaker 2: are producing the games and the ones that are coming up
12:26
Speaker 2: with it, it is your livelihood too. But when they're
12:29
Speaker 2: starting to throw out the ads each and every break drew.
12:31
Speaker 2: That's where I laughed and I said, we're gonna be
12:32
Speaker 2: watching this for the next two months.
12:34
Speaker 3: They have they got a streamline.
12:36
Speaker 2: I don't see the mlpa's advertisements going on MLB dot
12:39
Speaker 2: tv very soon.
12:40
Speaker 1: So if you're should, should the anger be directed not
12:43
Speaker 1: at the Dodgers, but at the Rockies and the Athletics
12:47
Speaker 1: and the and the teams that you know, the Reds
12:50
Speaker 1: and the Pirates, the teams that have.
12:51
Speaker 3: Had they don't have the TV contract, I know, but.
12:53
Speaker 1: They don't, you know, but they're not spending like they
12:55
Speaker 1: don't and the percentage of like.
12:58
Speaker 2: Their outlay, sure, you know, yeah, look, and that's the
13:01
Speaker 2: thing that's partly business wise. I also don't think that
13:05
Speaker 2: it's very advantageous for a lot of these organizations to
13:09
Speaker 2: spend a crazy different number that they have, Like even
13:12
Speaker 2: the A's now they're doing it because they got new
13:14
Speaker 2: ownership and they're trying to spice their place up before
13:16
Speaker 2: they go to Las Vegas. But they just signed Louis
13:18
Speaker 2: Severino a couple of year and a half ago to
13:21
Speaker 2: the biggest free agent deal that they've had.
13:24
Speaker 3: Okay, sick, congratulations.
13:25
Speaker 2: I don't know what that sixty million did for you,
13:27
Speaker 2: Like I don't know exactly what it did for Louis
13:29
Speaker 2: Severino's numbers over the last year and a half, but
13:32
Speaker 2: it hasn't made them any bit more relevant. And I
13:35
Speaker 2: don't know that it's got a lot of more people
13:36
Speaker 2: going to Sacramento anytime he starts. That being said, if
13:40
Speaker 2: you're going to have a sport that is gonna continue
13:43
Speaker 2: to flourish, I think you got to have some more
13:47
Speaker 2: groups trying.
13:48
Speaker 3: To get to that next threshold.
13:50
Speaker 2: That's why I think the floor is probably more important
13:52
Speaker 2: than the cap. You just got to make it more punitive. Again,
13:55
Speaker 2: you don't need to have a hard cap. The NBA
13:56
Speaker 2: just didn't emphasize that. Yeah, you just got to call
13:59
Speaker 2: it the second apron and make it freaking crippling to
14:02
Speaker 2: teams to go over.
14:03
Speaker 3: It's pretty easy.
14:04
Speaker 2: You just got to understand how to frame it. And
14:06
Speaker 2: right now they're hell bent on it calling it a
14:08
Speaker 2: hard cap, and that's just not going to happen.
14:10
Speaker 1: In twenty seven Ers just went three and three against
14:13
Speaker 1: two teams in major markets. The Giants have had considerably
14:16
Speaker 1: more success. They've won a couple of World Series, have
14:19
Speaker 1: more recent vintage than the Angels, but they're both good
14:22
Speaker 1: examples of teams and big markets, attractive markets, unlimited resources
14:26
Speaker 1: that aren't doing well.
14:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, and would trade places with the Brewers.
14:29
Speaker 2: And I also think this is the other part for it,
14:31
Speaker 2: just from the like the the entertainment value of the sport.
14:35
Speaker 2: I don't know that baseball's ever had a hotter moment
14:37
Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years because they have a
14:39
Speaker 2: hardcore super villain, right, and in.
14:43
Speaker 3: Other sport like why is a good thing to shoot for?
14:45
Speaker 1: For the conversation around yours and why did like you know,
14:48
Speaker 1: did break up the Patriots? We got to change the game.
14:51
Speaker 1: We gotta change the rules because the Patriots are going
14:52
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl every year. That discussion never happened.
14:55
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs, we're a dynasty. Like, did anybody
14:58
Speaker 1: scream about breaking them up?
14:59
Speaker 3: No?
14:59
Speaker 1: And in that sport and stuff, so we helped Cincinnati
15:01
Speaker 1: be like Kansas City. Well it never came up.
15:04
Speaker 2: Well, And that's the interesting one, and that in that
15:06
Speaker 2: sport it is hard capped, it is very locked and sealed.
15:09
Speaker 2: And instead the conversation is how does this team become
15:13
Speaker 2: that one?
15:14
Speaker 3: And instead here it's well, you never can, but because
15:17
Speaker 3: then they'll start focused.
15:18
Speaker 2: Then let's start focusing though on how can you once
15:21
Speaker 2: you get there?
15:22
Speaker 3: Like, I get the rules are difficult, very difficult, more even.
15:26
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a more even playing field, but.
15:28
Speaker 2: The money is also spread completely even, right like, And
15:31
Speaker 2: that's one's what I'm saying. Yeah, but that's just one
15:33
Speaker 2: thing that Major League Baseball. Again, I struggle with how
15:36
Speaker 2: this is going to get placed skolely squared towards the
15:39
Speaker 2: player's side. MLB owners have had the last six years
15:42
Speaker 2: to line up their revenue and make it a lot
15:45
Speaker 2: more simplistic to be able to split and share. Instead,
15:48
Speaker 2: they fumbled the bag with ESPN because they wanted to
15:50
Speaker 2: have games on freaking Roku for ten million bucks a
15:53
Speaker 2: year and break that deal up and now they got
15:56
Speaker 2: more savanna banana games on ESPN than your.
15:58
Speaker 3: Sport like they have issued.
16:00
Speaker 2: That's the struggle that I got here, because it feels
16:03
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of owners that are also going
16:05
Speaker 2: to say, well, again, so we just can't do this.
16:07
Speaker 3: But you need to help yourself before you get to
16:09
Speaker 3: this point.
16:10
Speaker 1: In a cat in capped leagues, though we had the
16:12
Speaker 1: Patriots doners, we had the Chiefs dynasty. We had a
16:14
Speaker 1: capted league where we had the same two teams playing
16:16
Speaker 1: in the finals four years in a row.
16:18
Speaker 3: Four years in a row.
16:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, if if it was Dodgers Yankees four years in
16:21
Speaker 1: a row, people would be pissed and baseball sucks.
16:24
Speaker 3: But then again on day.
16:26
Speaker 2: Cavs is like, oh, I'm here for it, and the
16:27
Speaker 2: tough things on the revenue side and on the television
16:30
Speaker 2: side they look and say, these these numbers are great.
16:33
Speaker 2: These numbers are bigger than we ever had for four
16:35
Speaker 2: straight Dodgers Yankees World Series, like they had a couple
16:37
Speaker 2: of years ago, and then again in both of these
16:40
Speaker 2: last two titles that they've won. Now they they ended
16:43
Speaker 2: up Donkey stopping the Yankees, but they're down in Game
16:46
Speaker 2: one there and then Nest Cortez decides to go up
16:49
Speaker 2: a Grand Slam to Freddy Freeman.
16:50
Speaker 3: The series is over.
16:51
Speaker 2: They could have lost that damn game four times last year,
16:55
Speaker 2: and instead you aren't able to get home. So like,
16:57
Speaker 2: and the Blue Jays are spending a ton of money year.
17:01
Speaker 2: They were an eyelash and a cleaked away from winning
17:04
Speaker 2: the title a year ago, and instead they're selling their
17:07
Speaker 2: two time All Star today because they're not getting home
17:10
Speaker 2: and their best player has six bombs. They're paying five
17:13
Speaker 2: hundred million too, So money definitely helps. I am not
17:15
Speaker 2: saying it doesn't. It is a significant, significant leg up,
17:19
Speaker 2: but definitely in the kere role. And this is why
17:23
Speaker 2: I have now completely shifted to This is gonna make
17:25
Speaker 2: it so much sweeter when the Brewers winning.
17:27
Speaker 1: Sex there, you go so much better when the Brewers wine.
17:30
Speaker 1: That is the attitude. Eight seven seven seven three. When
17:34
Speaker 1: we come back, fire up some game balls and kicks.
17:36
Speaker 1: Gonna get Billy's thoughts on the Packers. They got a
17:38
Speaker 1: new starting right tackle, a new name.
17:40
Speaker 2: Listen, looks sweet on a jersey. So I'm in here
17:43
Speaker 2: if I'm for any offensive lineman is making news.
17:45
Speaker 1: Zach Thomas Now, Zach Baco wil You got the pronunciation
17:50
Speaker 1: way better than ild yesterday, Baco Bela, which I appreciate it.
17:55
Speaker 2: Listen, I love the story and I'm excited to be
17:57
Speaker 2: able to tell more of it.

Speaker 3: Who want to be able to have absolutely all right?
18:01
Speaker 1: Game balls and kicks are coming up, Get them ready.

19:00
Speaker 1: the program Hunter, what do you got? I'm gonna let
19:05
Speaker 1: him cook. Aaron Nagler was so happy about it. Drew
19:08
Speaker 1: and he hung out with us for Training Camp Live
19:10
Speaker 1: on on Friday. That was an hour and some change
19:14
Speaker 1: just before, uh, when they were talking about Matt Lafleur's
19:17
Speaker 1: child coming in and son coming into the media auditorium
19:19
Speaker 1: and having a conversation with them and chopping it up,
19:21
Speaker 1: and he's.
19:22
Speaker 3: Like, well what did he say? Said? Uh, he said
19:24
Speaker 3: that you were gonna let Jordan Love cook this year. Yeah, yeah,
19:27
Speaker 3: that's what that's what we're gonna do.
19:29
Speaker 2: So the audio bit that nags and she said TV's
19:32
Speaker 2: been looking for for probably the last three or four years,
19:35
Speaker 2: they got and I think their social department is not
19:38
Speaker 2: going to take liberties.
19:39
Speaker 3: With here's the full interaction there. You guys should run
19:43
Speaker 3: the ballmore?
19:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you want us to run the balltmore?
19:47
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, we're gonna let him cook.
19:54
Speaker 2: Every single uh she said, TV Watch Party. Drew has
19:57
Speaker 2: just got infused with another sound by that our.
20:00
Speaker 1: Yeah that is our game ball today converse they kick
20:03
Speaker 1: to the balls, let's hear it Hunter.
20:05
Speaker 3: Yes in three two and one.
20:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a kick to those balls the balls.
20:11
Speaker 2: Yeah that'll work. Many that'll work.
20:13
Speaker 3: Oh, I like that was the Angels TV broadcast they
20:16
Speaker 3: to So that was.
20:16
Speaker 2: That Wayne ran Dazzo Cat. They decided that he wanted
20:19
Speaker 2: to go off on the crew. How about to kick
20:22
Speaker 2: to the balls?
20:22
Speaker 3: The Wayne ran dazzo. You know what, I didn't actually
20:27
Speaker 3: listen to the full three minutes. Maybe I should.
20:29
Speaker 2: He went off of the Oh yeah, Like I said,
20:31
Speaker 2: everybody was, everybody's been been having some fun and the
20:34
Speaker 2: Brewers have been everybody's punching bag over the last thirty
20:37
Speaker 2: six hours. If these teams just don't care about winning,
20:39
Speaker 2: they want to say that they care about competitiveness, but
20:42
Speaker 2: they just don't. How dare the Brewers have the best
20:44
Speaker 2: farm system in baseball and not do it?
20:46
Speaker 3: How dare they? Yeah?
20:48
Speaker 2: How dare they want to be relevant again in twenty
20:51
Speaker 2: thirty one? And I don't know they're not going to
20:53
Speaker 2: give up on the best prospect in all of baseball?
20:55
Speaker 3: And Hayesu's Monday, and we don't know the full negotiation.
20:58
Speaker 3: We don't know. It sound like there was a whole
20:59
Speaker 3: hell of a lot of them. No, it doesn't.
21:01
Speaker 1: All right, I have to award a game ball to
21:04
Speaker 1: Rick Sweet I love that Nashville's manager career win number
21:09
Speaker 1: two four and ninety seven yesterday. He is the second
21:14
Speaker 1: winningest minor league manager in history.
21:17
Speaker 2: WHOA and I mean that obviously the wins is what
21:20
Speaker 2: we do this thing for. But the player development and
21:22
Speaker 2: the guys that he has put into the big leagues
21:24
Speaker 2: over the last five to six years.
21:26
Speaker 1: Thirty four away from uh from taking over the top
21:29
Speaker 1: spot with forty two games left this season, sweets or
21:32
Speaker 1: let's get it to Hick Sweet and how about how
21:34
Speaker 1: about a game boll for Scott Dolphin was going to
21:36
Speaker 1: say party right now on back from Iceland.
21:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, that doesn't compare with what Rick Sweet has done.
21:41
Speaker 5: But we had a good time.
21:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, the trip was great. It was awesome.
21:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, highly recommend going to Iceland if if you want
21:47
Speaker 5: to see a lot of fjords and geysers and waterfalls
21:51
Speaker 5: and just breathtaking scenery everywhere you going.
21:54
Speaker 3: Did you bring enough layers? I did?
21:56
Speaker 5: I brought way too many layers. I overpacked. We're talking yeah,
21:59
Speaker 5: probably by I, you know, double. I overpacked. But you
22:02
Speaker 5: have to have a lot of wool, you know, to
22:04
Speaker 5: stay warm, and because the temperature's there, some days are
22:06
Speaker 5: only into the low to mid forties or highs when
22:10
Speaker 5: you're out there hiking the fjords and all that good stuff.
22:12
Speaker 5: But yeah, plenty of layers, and uh, it was just
22:14
Speaker 5: it was a great trip, trip of a lifetime really was.
22:16
Speaker 3: That's good.
22:17
Speaker 5: And we cruised so you know every day you wake
22:19
Speaker 5: up and you're in a different part of Iceland's.
22:21
Speaker 2: That's kind of nice where they just do all the
22:23
Speaker 2: work for you. True and all of a sudden you
22:25
Speaker 2: just show up sweet new place. True about sweet new place.
22:29
Speaker 3: That's it.
22:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wasn't real adventure venture so because they eat
22:32
Speaker 5: some weird things over there. Uh how what are we
22:34
Speaker 5: talking about? The eat cod, which is what we'd hear.
22:36
Speaker 5: I mean that's their number one exports. And the fish
22:39
Speaker 5: it was, it was amazing. Uh, black liquorice is a
22:42
Speaker 5: big deal for them. It's in there, old chocolate and
22:44
Speaker 5: all kinds of stuff. Surf and turf. The first night
22:47
Speaker 5: we got there, one of the guys on our trip
22:49
Speaker 5: ordered surf and turf which was horse and whale, which
22:53
Speaker 5: I thought was interesting. That's a big horse and the whale. Yeah,
22:56
Speaker 5: they eat horse and whale there, apparently.
22:58
Speaker 3: Like just diced up? Are we like I would steak?
23:02
Speaker 3: Nor would I have partaken in that? All right?
23:05
Speaker 5: Okay, Wow, horse and whale was on the menu. Where
23:08
Speaker 5: the whale I stuck the wings that night.
23:10
Speaker 3: Love it.
23:12
Speaker 5: That way?
23:13
Speaker 3: Could have been very different. Okay, sure they weren't fins.
23:19
Speaker 1: Dolf is wearing a Brewers pull over here Trade deadlines
23:22
Speaker 1: five o'clock tonight, Dolph, what's your level of confidence that
23:25
Speaker 1: the Brewers can strike a deal and uh keep the
23:28
Speaker 1: pitchforks and torches away from the ballpark.
23:30
Speaker 3: I've been so out of touch, Drew.
23:32
Speaker 5: I haven't really looked at it, but I would think
23:34
Speaker 5: a starting pitcher would be on the menu. If you're
23:36
Speaker 5: going to make a deal at all, you have to
23:37
Speaker 5: do that, especially after you say, you know, the Cubs
23:39
Speaker 5: went out and got Kevin Gosman.
23:41
Speaker 2: Yet yeah, and the Rays got Freddy and the Rays
23:43
Speaker 2: gott All indications were Brewers were not interested in that one,
23:47
Speaker 2: but a lot of teams were interested. It sounds like
23:50
Speaker 2: they had some rather robust negotiations, even though they ended
23:53
Speaker 2: up with three prospects that were a little bit lower level.
23:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, what do you do in that situation?
23:59
Speaker 5: You just hope, you know, you trust what this organization
24:02
Speaker 5: has done time after tile again, and I know people
24:05
Speaker 5: were hot that they didn't get Scooble over the weekend,
24:07
Speaker 5: But I don't know, the damn Dodgers are going to
24:09
Speaker 5: get whatever they want at this point. Maybe maybe that's
24:11
Speaker 5: why there's going to be a lockout right.
24:13
Speaker 2: Well, and they threw it out there as well earlier
24:16
Speaker 2: in the week when Scott Borris said mentioned that he
24:20
Speaker 2: that was the number one destination. Didn't say that they're
24:22
Speaker 2: gonna sign him there, didn't say's for sure going there
24:24
Speaker 2: in the off season. We all kind of know it's
24:27
Speaker 2: going there in the off season, right, We're all not
24:29
Speaker 2: that naive. But as then they get swept by the
24:33
Speaker 2: Red Sox, just re emphasizes some human beings in those
24:37
Speaker 2: Dodger uniforms. And as long as we can have them
24:40
Speaker 2: play as bad as the Brewers' best players did in
24:43
Speaker 2: those four games a year ago, then you can end
24:45
Speaker 2: up still winning them.
24:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, anything as possible in baseball. I found it interesting
24:49
Speaker 5: yesterday they said he was pretty wrecked, pretty broken up,
24:52
Speaker 5: and the Tiger locker room was in tears when he
24:54
Speaker 5: was saying his goodbyes in West Sacramento. Watching some of
24:58
Speaker 5: that game yesterday was one hundred and nine degrees on
25:00
Speaker 5: the field at that ball park in Sacramento. Because because
25:04
Speaker 5: I was so hard up for sports, because I was watching,
25:07
Speaker 5: you know, uh, what they have in in Iceland. They
25:09
Speaker 5: had they had soccer on and then they had some
25:11
Speaker 5: little pickleball, some sort of historic Viking games on TV. WHOA, Yeah,
25:19
Speaker 5: so I was watching the A's and the Tigers yesterday
25:21
Speaker 5: afternoon when I got home.
25:22
Speaker 2: Oh my god, some more of those Viking games. That
25:25
Speaker 2: sounds like the world's Strongest man that you'd end up
25:27
Speaker 2: stumbling down.
25:29
Speaker 3: It took a while.
25:30
Speaker 1: It took you a while to find the Brewers on Peacock. Yesterday.
25:33
Speaker 1: Yahoo was on the call.
25:36
Speaker 3: Yep.
25:36
Speaker 1: It was good to hear Maddy v and and Rotino
25:38
Speaker 1: and Mark Goober is a.
25:39
Speaker 2: And I did like our friend your buddy Matty V
25:42
Speaker 2: throwing Vinnie a bone and said, hey man, you have
25:44
Speaker 2: to stop under selling your career. Stop under selling. Vinnie
25:48
Speaker 2: was caught off guard. He's like, yeah, I mean I
25:50
Speaker 2: was a grinder.
25:51
Speaker 3: I was a grinder. Come on, I don't do it. Yeah,
25:53
Speaker 3: I don't do that. It was pretty good. Finny had
25:55
Speaker 3: five or six years. Yeah, I mean, and he took
25:58
Speaker 3: he was in the he.
25:59
Speaker 2: Was in the minor for a long time. But nobody
26:03
Speaker 2: loves baseball quite like Vine Rattino. He loves every level
26:07
Speaker 2: of baketball.
26:08
Speaker 3: If there seems on that thing. He is in it.
26:10
Speaker 1: He's in on it absolutely. It's it's pretty cool. So
26:13
Speaker 1: all right, packers camp, Billy's on his way up there. Uh, Dolph,
26:16
Speaker 1: you gotta plug back in to what's happening. And Billy,
26:19
Speaker 1: what's the lead story right now at camp?
26:21
Speaker 2: Well, today the lead story will be Pad's coming on right,
26:24
Speaker 2: so real football actually happens, A real football actually happens. Boy,
26:28
Speaker 2: dds got a little love yesterday, Caveat got a seaman Pats.
26:32
Speaker 2: It's impressive in the early spot because that's gonna be
26:34
Speaker 2: the number one we get. Well, we'll finally get some
26:37
Speaker 2: good full pad one on ones offensive defensive linemen going
26:40
Speaker 2: at it. That's some of the best theater you get
26:42
Speaker 2: at camp. And then the quiet part that you can't
26:46
Speaker 2: necessarily see until really grasp it, until it happens on
26:50
Speaker 2: the field is the command Love and the offense have
26:53
Speaker 2: had in the receiver room. He said it yesterday with
26:55
Speaker 2: Stacy Dale's we got MG locked in over there at
26:58
Speaker 2: X all but in for Matthew Golden's a starting X
27:01
Speaker 2: receiver and we're going to see exactly what he's got
27:03
Speaker 2: and there's gonna be a ton of targets throwing the
27:06
Speaker 2: way of zero coming.
27:07
Speaker 1: Up this ye that Well, Dobbs had the most targets, didn't.
27:09
Speaker 3: He most targets on the team.
27:11
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people just assumed that
27:13
Speaker 2: the next mantle, the next man up, would be Christian Watson.
27:16
Speaker 2: I think he's got the best chance. But don't don't
27:20
Speaker 2: sleep on Matthew Golden on the volume of how much
27:22
Speaker 2: that he's going to see the football.
27:23
Speaker 1: What about Tucker Craft, because I'm fascinated with him coming
27:26
Speaker 1: back and where the whispers of his extension, like you know,
27:29
Speaker 1: ready to be inked? Is he gonna I know he's
27:33
Speaker 1: going to be a while before he can do eleven
27:35
Speaker 1: on eleven new padded stuff, right, he's working his way back.
27:38
Speaker 1: But even the risk of injury, even cavorting out there
27:41
Speaker 1: like he is, wouldn't you wouldn't there wouldn't you be
27:43
Speaker 1: tempted to say, oh, I'm not going to do that
27:45
Speaker 1: till I get the deal, whereas the packers would say, well,
27:46
Speaker 1: we need to see a little bit more before we
27:48
Speaker 1: give you this deal, like it's a where is that
27:50
Speaker 1: like that dance?
27:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm definitely not Tucker Craft's business manager. I
27:54
Speaker 2: would not have let him step foot on the field, right, Like,
27:56
Speaker 2: if I was his agent, I would do that. If
27:58
Speaker 2: you're that close and you're talking about I went, I
28:00
Speaker 2: wouldn't have done it.
28:01
Speaker 1: However, non football injuries or non contact injuries up up
28:04
Speaker 1: and down.
28:05
Speaker 3: The league always.
28:06
Speaker 2: And the the thing with Kraft too is he has
28:09
Speaker 2: the chance to not only have his first big payday,
28:13
Speaker 2: but another record setting one. He's gonna be the highest
28:15
Speaker 2: paid tight end in football, and that Trey McBride contract's
28:18
Speaker 2: already done, So like, that's the one where I think
28:20
Speaker 2: it's kind of easy to somewhat.
28:22
Speaker 3: Do I'm with.
28:26
Speaker 2: I think there's I think there's a little bit of
28:28
Speaker 2: the human aspect where Craft's like, I'm not gonna let
28:30
Speaker 2: any of this stuff stop me. But every time he
28:32
Speaker 2: goes out there, and if he does play a game
28:35
Speaker 2: Drew without the deal done, price goes up, plays another game,
28:38
Speaker 2: price goes up, plays another game.
28:39
Speaker 3: Price.
28:41
Speaker 2: But I think there's and I thought this was gonna
28:43
Speaker 2: be Devonte Wyatt, you kind of want to save some
28:46
Speaker 2: kind of good celebration for the middle of camp when
28:49
Speaker 2: everything gets long and monotonous and lame, and then all
28:52
Speaker 2: of a sudden On August thirteen, smack dab in the
28:55
Speaker 2: middle of their dolf. Somebody just gets a new big
28:57
Speaker 2: payday and Tucker's gonna be buying dinner. One that direct
29:00
Speaker 2: DEPOSITI hits the Yeah.
29:01
Speaker 5: I bet did you get excited about this day? By
29:03
Speaker 5: the way, when you play full pad first day and
29:05
Speaker 5: full pads.
29:06
Speaker 2: The first day in full pads, you got excited for
29:08
Speaker 2: first day of practice. Not so much first day of practice,
29:11
Speaker 2: not excited for it. That was always the one that
29:14
Speaker 2: dreaded that day because that was always as much running
29:17
Speaker 2: as you possibly could have.
29:18
Speaker 3: First day and pads was definitely fun. You have to
29:20
Speaker 3: run hills.
29:21
Speaker 2: We uh, we were big lap guys. We were big laps.
29:26
Speaker 2: We had the jungle runs at Wynell High School where
29:29
Speaker 2: we run through the nature pod.
29:30
Speaker 3: Oh nice.
29:31
Speaker 2: Then you had to figure out exactly where the where
29:33
Speaker 2: the pickup spot was so you could run to the
29:35
Speaker 2: end and then you could just cut through a couple
29:37
Speaker 2: of yards.
29:38
Speaker 3: You were like a guy cheating at a marathon.
29:40
Speaker 2: Correct, wait a little bit, Wait fifteen minutes, pick the
29:45
Speaker 2: rest of the run up that way, finish that one off.
29:48
Speaker 2: But I vividly remember it my first my first camp
29:51
Speaker 2: when I was a freshman at Carroll University in the
29:54
Speaker 2: Big ten of the Midwest, and Owen.
29:57
Speaker 3: Reese sat me down at the breakfast.
29:59
Speaker 2: He because we'd have breakfast at like six in the
30:01
Speaker 2: morning and then you go practice at eight. You ready today?
30:05
Speaker 2: You ready? I mean I'm having lucky charms.
30:09
Speaker 3: I don't ready.
30:10
Speaker 2: I'm okay, ready for another You got freaking bring it today, Okay,
30:15
Speaker 2: because this is serious stuff.
30:16
Speaker 3: This is when it really happened.
30:19
Speaker 2: Okay, man, sounds good. I'm ready, I'm I'm I'm ready
30:22
Speaker 2: to go. And then all of a sudden, somebody just
30:23
Speaker 2: in the midst.
30:27
Speaker 3: And stop talking to him. You're not going to play today.
30:29
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, that was.
30:30
Speaker 2: The rudest thing you possibly could have had, and just
30:33
Speaker 2: immediate trash talking. And then the whole place started laughing
30:36
Speaker 2: like it generally did.
30:38
Speaker 5: Uh.
30:38
Speaker 2: But it got super serious there for a quick second,
30:40
Speaker 2: and they tried to act like it was a crazy deal,
30:43
Speaker 2: but it was. It always is for many. But you
30:46
Speaker 2: got to bring that juice, even if it's gonna be
30:47
Speaker 2: a playful manner. So it's a big day for rookies
30:50
Speaker 2: out there trying to do something for rookies. Big day
30:52
Speaker 2: from a boy he's gonna get me lined up against
30:55
Speaker 2: Jordan Morgan.
30:55
Speaker 1: It's he's got to start showing it early and often.
30:58
Speaker 3: Yes, very much so.
30:59
Speaker 2: And then his you know, his exploits in the run
31:02
Speaker 2: defense can not be the only thing that Wayne and
31:05
Speaker 2: I can highlight during training.
31:06
Speaker 3: All right, be honest, both of you.
31:07
Speaker 5: Did you have to look up Zach Tom's new name
31:09
Speaker 5: before you tried to pronounce it on the air, or
31:12
Speaker 5: did you just go for it?
31:13
Speaker 3: I actually heard it.
31:14
Speaker 1: I heard Schneidman do it on a video that you posted.
31:18
Speaker 2: Not as good with the reading of the fanatics, dolf
31:21
Speaker 2: I was not good on hooked on phonics. No, I
31:24
Speaker 2: had to hear it to be able to relay my
31:27
Speaker 2: only way, and luckily now Google has a phonetic way
31:30
Speaker 2: of being able to hit the pronunciations.
31:32
Speaker 5: Everyone's pretty good with the AI, not bad with it.
31:34
Speaker 5: I even had to look up Cody Boyer. I'm Cody Hoyer. Sorry,
31:38
Speaker 5: I'm like that higher. I would have said higher, but
31:40
Speaker 5: it's a Hoyer apparently.
31:41
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I like bo a lot easier.
31:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, both, Taylor that I had heard me Baco, Baco,
31:47
Speaker 5: Baco Belle back blocking you up a name, Yeah, Bacco,
31:54
Speaker 5: it's gonna.
31:54
Speaker 3: Zach Tom he is Zach Baku Bewelle.
32:00
Speaker 2: And the story that he said of being able to
32:02
Speaker 2: honor his mother and father's both heritage, having a name
32:04
Speaker 2: that he felt that as he began to grow a
32:07
Speaker 2: family was going to represent where everybody came from in
32:10
Speaker 2: his family.
32:10
Speaker 3: Really cool story.
32:11
Speaker 2: And you know it's one of those that then you
32:15
Speaker 2: can always rewrite and write your own history. And my
32:18
Speaker 2: man's writing a lot of family history with the way
32:20
Speaker 2: that he plays. So put it on, put it out
32:23
Speaker 2: the name, and let everybody say it how you want done.
32:25
Speaker 5: It's not like it's twenty seven letters. It'll still fit
32:28
Speaker 5: on a jersey.
32:28
Speaker 2: Look.
32:29
Speaker 5: It's like I was in Iceland, man, everything there, every
32:32
Speaker 5: town is twenty seven letters. It's oh for sure. Yeah,
32:35
Speaker 5: I don't know how to pronounce any of them. After
32:36
Speaker 5: spending eight days there, I still don't know.
32:38
Speaker 2: In Iceland, they must be so good at scrabble, no doubt,
32:41
Speaker 2: how many how many words have a jay in it,
32:43
Speaker 2: just randomly thrown in. That's a PenPoint that every time
32:46
Speaker 2: you throw it in there.
32:47
Speaker 5: You know they blame the Norwegians because everything ends in
32:51
Speaker 5: a fjord, which is fiordr over there.
32:54
Speaker 3: So you know this letter.
32:56
Speaker 5: You already got a town that has thirteen letters and
32:58
Speaker 5: then you have to add on the end of because of.
33:01
Speaker 3: The Fjords, that's phenomenal.
33:03
Speaker 2: I just I love I love the fact of just
33:07
Speaker 2: picking on big old cruise ship in and out of
33:09
Speaker 2: all this fjords and seeing all of the water and
33:11
Speaker 2: the waterfalls rolling through.
33:13
Speaker 5: And every town had a micro so I had to
33:14
Speaker 5: check out the local beer scene and it was phenomenal,
33:17
Speaker 5: very good stuff. Good yeah, yeah, good. IPA's good stouts
33:20
Speaker 5: over there. They're just like us. They drink the same beers.
33:23
Speaker 3: That makes sense. They're smart people. I love people.
33:25
Speaker 1: What is the warm season in Iceland? Is there one?
33:29
Speaker 3: I guess this is it? This is it.
33:31
Speaker 5: We have twenty one hours of daylight and we saw
33:34
Speaker 5: one day hit sixty while we were there. Other than that,
33:37
Speaker 5: it was mid forties to upper fifties for highs. But
33:40
Speaker 5: it doesn't really get much colder at night. I mean,
33:43
Speaker 5: it's just kind of the same. And because of the
33:45
Speaker 5: fact that it's everybody lives coastal, it's pretty much the
33:49
Speaker 5: weather is pretty much the same year round around. Yeah,
33:52
Speaker 5: they don't get as much snow as Milwaukee does. And
33:55
Speaker 5: when you fly there, you fly right over Greenland, which
33:57
Speaker 5: looks like it's another planet. It's eighty feet of snow
34:00
Speaker 5: Owen Mountain. That's all you see. I really I found
34:03
Speaker 5: out in Iceland they get the Gulf Stream from the
34:05
Speaker 5: Gulf of Mexico and that's what keeps them green most
34:08
Speaker 5: of the Yuka.
34:09
Speaker 3: That's still never made sense to me when I was
34:11
Speaker 3: a kid that Iceland was called Greenland.
34:14
Speaker 2: When when your boy was trying to take runs at
34:16
Speaker 2: fifth grade geography be Championships, that was always the tough
34:20
Speaker 2: one to remember. Love it Iceland, actually green Greenland. Not
34:24
Speaker 2: a soul on there and not a bit of vegetation
34:27
Speaker 2: or what we saw. It was all on August first.
34:29
Speaker 5: It was nothing but ice and snow when we flew
34:31
Speaker 5: over Greenland's wild That's a heck of a trip.
34:33
Speaker 1: Oh thank you for popping by. Good to have you back.
34:36
Speaker 1: To be celebrating halftime the Monday edition. Billy's on his

Speaker 1: and Billy huddled up on a Monday in the good
35:16
Speaker 1: Land eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven
35:18
Speaker 1: three nicolay Lo dot Com talking text line, game, balls
35:21
Speaker 1: and kicks for you. Time for a little Who's Hot
35:24
Speaker 1: Who's Not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and
35:26
Speaker 1: Cooling and uh Donovan Jorgenson dot com employee owned for
35:30
Speaker 1: forty years. Nobody's hotter than the Boston Red Sox right now,
35:33
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Twenty three and three. They swept the
35:36
Speaker 1: Dodgers over the weekend. H so Bob Nightingale called that
35:39
Speaker 1: a possible World series preview who to Thunk in April
35:43
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox we mentioned as a World Series
35:46
Speaker 1: threat when they were awful and the fans there were
35:48
Speaker 1: squawking about Caleb Durban.
35:50
Speaker 2: Good for Craig Breslo, Yeah, I mean, is he just
35:53
Speaker 2: walking down doing the Vince McMahon strut every single day like.
35:55
Speaker 3: A look at me? Now what you guys said, I
35:58
Speaker 3: didn't know anything about baseball? Got you?
36:00
Speaker 2: And they haven't really had Roman Anthony playing during any
36:03
Speaker 2: of this, right, I mean he's completely mia.
36:05
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Red Sox hot.
36:06
Speaker 2: They sweep the Dodgers over the weekend, also in the
36:10
Speaker 2: hot category, in a team that is not going anywhere
36:13
Speaker 2: at all, and instead they keep adding the Chicago White Sox.
36:17
Speaker 2: They ended up winning two or three over the weekend,
36:20
Speaker 2: beating the Rays in Tampa. They had just split with
36:23
Speaker 2: the Yankees in four games. And don't look now one
36:26
Speaker 2: of the other teams that's hot and maybe buying today
36:29
Speaker 2: the now leaders of the AL West, the Houston Astros.
36:34
Speaker 2: They've won nine of ten. They have can now I
36:38
Speaker 2: think completely flipped the script. Part of me ten of eleven.
36:40
Speaker 2: Don't want a short amount of that one either, And
36:42
Speaker 2: I think they've completely flipped their conversation from are we
36:45
Speaker 2: going to trade Josh Hater at the deadline too?
36:47
Speaker 3: What are we gonna add? Because now there are all.
36:49
Speaker 2: Of a sudden two and a half games up in
36:50
Speaker 2: the Al West, and Jim Crane, their owner, always wants
36:54
Speaker 2: to buy in the not category, though there's always a couple,
36:58
Speaker 2: and those aforementioned Texas Rangers would be a part of them.
37:00
Speaker 3: Drew swept over the weekend.
37:01
Speaker 2: They've lost five straight and they now quickly are out
37:05
Speaker 2: on the outside looking in of a playoff spot, after
37:08
Speaker 2: thinking that they were in the midst of it. And
37:09
Speaker 2: what about a team that traded Luis Garcia Junior yesterday
37:14
Speaker 2: and potentially more to the Brewers later on today, the
37:17
Speaker 2: Washington Nationals. They have lost six of their last seven games,
37:22
Speaker 2: five consecutive, gets swept in four games against the division
37:26
Speaker 2: leading Braves this weekend, Drew And now the Nats, once
37:30
Speaker 2: exciting and promising and playoff inspiring year, well now they're
37:35
Speaker 2: four and a half games out of the wild card.
37:36
Speaker 2: They're three games under five hundred, and hey, why don't
37:39
Speaker 2: you let CJ. Abrams get up out of there and
37:41
Speaker 2: get some playoff at bats and let's see what we
37:44
Speaker 2: could send in. Louis Pana is a great headliner of
37:47
Speaker 2: a package that would be sending CJ. Abrams and that
37:49
Speaker 2: big left handed stick, no pause right over here to Milwaukee.
37:53
Speaker 1: Hey, Now, things can change quickly before you go Billy
37:57
Speaker 1: like quickly. There's a sense that whatever the Birds do
38:00
Speaker 1: isn't going to be enough. People will be complaining about it,
38:02
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, it's not gonna help him. And
38:05
Speaker 1: George Kirby is a name, like you know, Robbie Ray.
38:08
Speaker 3: I really like Robbie Ray.
38:09
Speaker 2: Now, I would really like it if it was Robbie
38:11
Speaker 2: Ray and Luis Arias right, like I I'd like to
38:14
Speaker 2: see some offense and some pitching here today, like quantity
38:19
Speaker 2: will in my mind beat the quality of schoobl Right,
38:23
Speaker 2: Schooble is a one.
38:24
Speaker 3: He is as good as it can get.
38:25
Speaker 2: But I have already gotten myself completely shifted away to
38:30
Speaker 2: that guy quit on Team USA that he is not
38:34
Speaker 2: a postseason player, and he was already resigned to the
38:36
Speaker 2: fact that he wanted to go to LA So he
38:38
Speaker 2: might have thrown the game for you if you were
38:40
Speaker 2: in that Mitch. He wanted to be in that locker room,
38:42
Speaker 2: he wanted to be with the Dodgers. You weren't going
38:44
Speaker 2: to get the best out of him, So that's fine.
38:45
Speaker 2: Let him go over there and then hang a crooked
38:48
Speaker 2: number on him in inning number four in the start
38:50
Speaker 2: that he has against you in the playoffs, and I'll
38:52
Speaker 2: feel a lot better about it. I love Robbie Ray.
38:55
Speaker 2: I love that idea because I don't think you're gonna
38:57
Speaker 2: have to pay a ton in prospect capital US money.
39:01
Speaker 2: And I think they need a starter, a reliever, and
39:03
Speaker 2: a bat two of three and I'll be happy and
39:05
Speaker 2: I won't be upset. Now they get one of the three,
39:09
Speaker 2: and it will feel like they kind of short changed
39:11
Speaker 2: themselves just looking again I mentioned it. I started watching
39:14
Speaker 2: a lot of the twenty eighteen highlight tape because my
39:17
Speaker 2: young son wanted to see the Brewers beat the Cubs again.
39:20
Speaker 2: We've already watched last year's series way too many times.
39:24
Speaker 2: They had a ton of deadline acquisitions on the twenty
39:28
Speaker 2: eighteen Sea did not only the Joaquim Sorrias that come
39:31
Speaker 2: out and save you. Curtis Granderson was brought in there.
39:35
Speaker 2: Jonathan Scope, who wasn't great, was also a swing after
39:39
Speaker 2: they go, and a choir Mike Mustockets. They made like
39:41
Speaker 2: five or six deals and you were on the doorstep
39:43
Speaker 2: of it. You gotta these dudes have earned at least
39:47
Speaker 2: a couple of moves, and I do believe that they're.
39:49
Speaker 1: Still going to be aggressive and trying to find somebody
39:50
Speaker 1: here today. I think so too. Luke Weaver, you want
39:54
Speaker 1: to go back to the Mets.
39:55
Speaker 2: Well, I don't mind Luke Weaver, and especially if I'm
39:57
Speaker 2: going to pay him the eleven million bucks. They got
39:59
Speaker 2: two names up here that I would love, Robbie Ray
40:01
Speaker 2: and Dustin May.
40:02
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know the Cardinals are trading you, Dustin.
40:05
Speaker 3: I don't know that they're.
40:07
Speaker 1: Prospect to the Saint Louis that you're gonna have.
40:09
Speaker 3: To see it.
40:10
Speaker 2: That might be, that might be the same. But I'm
40:12
Speaker 2: you can miss me with Clay Holmes. Gimme Robbie, gimme
40:15
Speaker 2: Robbie Ray.
40:16
Speaker 1: Joseriano.
40:18
Speaker 2: Oh, I would be very excited about that, Drew. I
40:20
Speaker 2: was thinking, we don't let Soriano. Soriano, You're coming on
40:23
Speaker 2: our team. Planes plenty to be excited about. You.
40:25
Speaker 1: Come over here, Billy, have fun, save travels up to
40:27
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Will be listening, see you boys. The pads
40:29
Speaker 1: are coming on today, all right, we're gonna soldier on.
40:32
Speaker 3: It's the huddle.
