0:24
Speaker 2: little Who's Not, Who's Not? Who's Hot?
0:26
Speaker 1: Who's Not? Update?
0:27
Speaker 2: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson, heating and cooling Billy.
0:30
Speaker 1: Who's Hot?
0:31
Speaker 3: Well for the Milwaukee Brewers, the month of May is
0:34
Speaker 3: now over, so we can look through the entire splits
0:37
Speaker 3: in all of the numbers that everybody had through the
0:39
Speaker 3: month of May. And the pitching side is pretty insane
0:43
Speaker 3: when you count in what one Jacob Mizerowski went through
0:46
Speaker 3: and pair that with Kyle Harrison at the top of
0:49
Speaker 3: the order, how is it going to be better?
0:50
Speaker 1: Both made themselves.
0:52
Speaker 3: They had a combined to eleven starts six from five
0:55
Speaker 3: for Harrison as the numbers finish up for Jacob Miszowski
0:59
Speaker 3: thirty eight in a third innings pitched in the month
1:01
Speaker 3: of May, fourteen hits, given up, just one lone earned run,
1:05
Speaker 3: fifty seven ks, a thirteen point four k per nine number,
1:11
Speaker 3: which is just a disgusting number. His whip was point
1:14
Speaker 3: five to two, so every other inning basically the opponent
1:19
Speaker 3: was averaging having somebody on. Kyle Harrison magnificent as well.
1:22
Speaker 3: Twenty eight innings, twenty two hits, three earned runs, just
1:26
Speaker 3: one long ball, both only walked six guys. Harrison had
1:29
Speaker 3: a whip of one flat and a sub one ERA.
1:32
Speaker 3: On the hitting side. There are a couple of knots
1:35
Speaker 3: out of the month of May. We mentioned his name
1:37
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier on today. I mean self freelic,
1:40
Speaker 3: not exactly what you would call hot through the month
1:44
Speaker 3: of May two seventeen with a five oh three OPS.
1:49
Speaker 3: On the other side, seventy five at bats for Jake
1:52
Speaker 3: Bauers five doubles, four bombs and fourteen driven in in
1:56
Speaker 3: the month of May total forty bases to lead the
2:00
Speaker 3: and finishes it with a three oh seven average and
2:03
Speaker 3: a nine to two OPS. Slugging over five thirty was
2:06
Speaker 3: Jake Bowers in the month of May. Definitely definitely hot.
2:09
Speaker 2: You don't take you don't take things for granted in baseball,
2:14
Speaker 2: because the Brewer's got four games against Giants. Giants aren't great,
2:16
Speaker 2: but you know, any on any given day, Yeah, I
2:19
Speaker 2: mean the Giants almost just got swept by the Rockies. Yeah,
2:22
Speaker 2: and Giants are bad and so are the Rockies. And
2:25
Speaker 2: the Brewers will play nobody for the next week except
2:28
Speaker 2: for the Giants and the Rockies, and then the guy
2:30
Speaker 2: plays as in Vegas that weird series in Vegas, which
2:34
Speaker 2: Minley Park basically who knows what's gonna happen there.
2:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's a gentle start to June for.
2:39
Speaker 2: The Brewers, Giants, Rockies, A's and then it gets tough Phillies,
2:44
Speaker 2: Guardians at in Milwaukee at the Braves and the Reds,
2:48
Speaker 2: and then Cubs and Reds at home.
2:51
Speaker 1: So there's some the back end.
2:52
Speaker 2: So enjoy these first the first week here yea of
2:55
Speaker 2: lesser opponents, because it's gonna get tougher.
2:58
Speaker 1: Well in the month of May.
2:59
Speaker 3: They've played a bunch of teams that had some of
3:01
Speaker 3: the best records in baseball. The only non five hundred
3:04
Speaker 3: club that the Brewers ended up playing because now the
3:07
Speaker 3: Washington Nationals are two games over five hundred. They ended
3:09
Speaker 3: up winning two of three against the Nats. To start
3:12
Speaker 3: the month. They had that two game series that was
3:15
Speaker 3: supposed to be a three gamer against the Cardinals that
3:17
Speaker 3: they split against Yankees, one of the best teams in
3:19
Speaker 3: baseball San Diego, one of the best teams in baseball. Minnesota, yikes, However,
3:24
Speaker 3: just do what you're supposed to do in two or
3:25
Speaker 3: three sweep the Cubbies. The Dodgers, obviously was the lone
3:30
Speaker 3: blip on the radar in the only series the Brewers
3:33
Speaker 3: lost in the entire month, and astros under five hundred.
3:37
Speaker 3: But you look at that lineup and you wonder why
3:38
Speaker 3: because they are loaded up offensively. That's one of the
3:42
Speaker 3: most impressive runs the Brewers have had in a month
3:45
Speaker 3: of baseball nineteen and seven. At the perfect time, and
3:48
Speaker 3: then conversely, so on the not category, the Chicago Cubs
3:52
Speaker 3: would be sitting there in the not category. They started
3:54
Speaker 3: the month three and a half games up in the division.
3:58
Speaker 3: They end it five games back in the division. They
4:01
Speaker 3: lose last night five to one. They lose the series
4:03
Speaker 3: against the Saint Louis Cardinals. Although PCA did find himself
4:08
Speaker 3: a redemption moment when he hit a home run into
4:11
Speaker 3: the tarpsof section at Bush Stadium and gave the little
4:14
Speaker 3: towel wave celebration. That was probably the highlight of the
4:17
Speaker 3: month of May for the Chicago Cubs, who sit there
4:20
Speaker 3: right there in the meat of the NL Central five
4:23
Speaker 3: games back of the Brewers.
4:23
Speaker 1: Four and a half back are the Saint Louis Cardinals.
4:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, the other one, Brandon Sprote not in a team
4:29
Speaker 4: full of bright spots.
4:30
Speaker 1: He struggled.
4:30
Speaker 4: On Saturday night, Pat Murphy said, we're not gonna, what
4:33
Speaker 4: was it, tolerate too many duds like this. So maybe
4:35
Speaker 4: that's that's one.
4:36
Speaker 3: Which is a heck of a difference after a couple
4:39
Speaker 3: of weeks ago him saying like, no, this guy's gonna
4:42
Speaker 3: be a big time pitcher. This guy's gonna be a
4:44
Speaker 3: big time pitcher for us. He is staying here. We're
4:46
Speaker 3: gonna get him. We're gonna get this lined up. So
4:48
Speaker 3: they took a step back and quickly moved changed the mood,
4:51
Speaker 3: very very abruptly.
4:52
Speaker 4: And we've seen Murph do this as this style to
4:54
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, I don't know, for lack of
4:56
Speaker 4: a better term, kick guys in the ass a little
4:58
Speaker 4: bit like say, hey, let's get it going a little bit.
5:00
Speaker 4: He had bench Durbin at one point last year. We'll
5:02
Speaker 4: see if it works. I think it's a motivational tactic.
5:05
Speaker 4: Sprot is going through it a little bit, trying to
5:07
Speaker 4: search for it. He had shown some indications that he
5:10
Speaker 4: was pitching better for a while, but Saturday was a
5:13
Speaker 4: step back, as Merv said, So that's another one there
5:16
Speaker 4: to look for. But all in all, these have been
5:19
Speaker 4: good problems to have for the Brewers who have been
5:20
Speaker 4: winning while trying to get better, which is kind of
5:23
Speaker 4: what you want to do, right Thanks to most of
5:24
Speaker 4: the starting pitching in the bullpen.
5:26
Speaker 3: Got one more here in the hot category or potentially not.
5:30
Speaker 3: I don't know, you guys, You guys can give me
5:31
Speaker 3: the uh, the full judgment on this one.
5:35
Speaker 1: Who's hot?
5:36
Speaker 3: Potentially Diana Residings Diana Rasini's reporting because today is June first,
5:43
Speaker 3: which means all those super special post June first designations
5:47
Speaker 3: that you heard all throughout the NFL offseason can come
5:50
Speaker 3: to fruition later on. Here today, dust it off on
5:53
Speaker 3: the Four Letter Network are Dan Orlovski and Adam Schefter.
5:57
Speaker 3: To let you know is Diana's on the AJ Brown
6:01
Speaker 3: trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots
6:05
Speaker 3: finally going to happen. Is it finally going to culminate
6:08
Speaker 3: in aj Brown being a New England Patriot, Or is
6:11
Speaker 3: the big trade of the NFL offseason going to happen
6:16
Speaker 3: with Jimmy Haslum's Cleveland Browns, Because this morning, the smoke
6:20
Speaker 3: is coming out that Miles Garrett not only could be attained,
6:25
Speaker 3: but that the Cleveland Browns are actively listening to trade conversations.
6:29
Speaker 3: For one, Miles Garrett who a year and a half
6:31
Speaker 3: ago said at the Super Bowl I'm not playing anymore
6:34
Speaker 3: for the Cleveland Browns. Then Jimmy Haslam said, let's make
6:38
Speaker 3: that forty million dollars guaranteed for the next three years.
6:40
Speaker 3: He's all right, sweet, I'll suit up for the Browns again.
6:43
Speaker 3: And now they're running back to this with some salary
6:46
Speaker 3: cap manipulations throughout the offseason, Drew, where there's some big relief,
6:51
Speaker 3: there's some big money that comes off the books. If
6:53
Speaker 3: indeed Garrett would be dealt here over the next couple
6:56
Speaker 3: of days, and it sounds like there's two teams that
6:57
Speaker 3: would be interested. Let me know if you're surprised the
7:01
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Rams in Philadelphia Eagles.
7:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, go figure, But both.
7:05
Speaker 3: Those two teams are apparently right there in the mix
7:08
Speaker 3: and sounds like it could be more of a possibility
7:11
Speaker 3: than ever before that one Miles Garrett might be on
7:14
Speaker 3: the chopping block. So who's Hot? NFL Insiders again, here today,
7:17
Speaker 3: in the middle of your off season, one hundred days
7:19
Speaker 3: away from kickoff at the NFL season, Get yourself ready
7:22
Speaker 3: to roll and get yourself into work, because we're going
7:24
Speaker 3: to have to answer a bunch of different questions.
7:26
Speaker 2: Loving that eight seven, seven, seven, nine, nine, seventh three.
7:29
Speaker 1: Who's hot? Who's not? Brought to us by Donvin Jorgenson
7:31
Speaker 1: Heating and Cooling, and they're always hot unless they're trying
7:33
Speaker 1: to cool you off. That's true.
7:34
Speaker 3: Unless they're trying to cool you off, Donovan Jorgenson will
7:36
Speaker 3: be cool at that point. But their work is always hot.
7:39
Speaker 3: Go to Donovan Jorgenson dot com for more information. They're
7:41
Speaker 3: also opening up a new location in Menominee Falls. They
7:44
Speaker 3: already got Mcgwanago and New Berlin West Dallas, so.
7:47
Speaker 1: They're all over.
7:47
Speaker 3: You see those beautiful blue trucks helping people out across
7:50
Speaker 3: the state of Wisconsin. Southeastern Wisconsin most importantly all the time,
7:53
Speaker 3: and they're ready to help you out right now, game.
7:55
Speaker 1: Balls and kicks to the balls continues hit us with
7:58
Speaker 1: those again.
8:01
Speaker 2: We've already game balled the Milwaukee Panthers, hoping that they
8:04
Speaker 2: can repeat their success against Auburn.
8:06
Speaker 1: Like this is the rubber match.
8:08
Speaker 3: This is it right here, man, one to one, it
8:10
Speaker 3: ties up. It's got to be difficult drew from the
8:13
Speaker 3: pitching standpoint, right, Like I don't know, I don't know
8:17
Speaker 3: a ton about the Panthers starting rotation or where their
8:20
Speaker 3: bullpen goes, but all your pitching has got to be
8:22
Speaker 3: pretty taxed at this point, right. You've played every day
8:25
Speaker 3: in the last four days, and you probably fired your
8:27
Speaker 3: big guns in the first two games. So you're hoping
8:30
Speaker 3: you can get enough innings of work. But if you're
8:34
Speaker 3: wondering where all of the Cinderellas have gone, they've all
8:38
Speaker 3: gone to college baseball. Kicking the balls of the UCLA Bruins. Yeah,
8:45
Speaker 3: h got bounced out of their own regional by Saint
8:49
Speaker 3: Mary's yesterday, just the second team as the nation's number
8:54
Speaker 3: one overall seed to get eliminated before the regional is over.
8:58
Speaker 3: And that team that they now share that with was
9:01
Speaker 3: last year's Vanderbilt common horse. So back to back seasons,
9:04
Speaker 3: the number one overall seed hasn't even made it out
9:06
Speaker 3: of the regional play. And I don't know if Smiles
9:09
Speaker 3: Bruins fandom rolls in college base off weekend.
9:15
Speaker 4: I've seen some say that this is truly the last
9:18
Speaker 4: you know, Cinderella stories. A tournament left in sports is
9:21
Speaker 4: the NCAA Baseball tournament, and you're seeing some of it
9:23
Speaker 4: right here because of the variants we see in baseball
9:26
Speaker 4: in general and the elimination nature of this tournament. So yeah,
9:30
Speaker 4: that's a big upset right there.
9:32
Speaker 2: Shall we provide a game ball for Morocco Brown? The
9:35
Speaker 2: new football program? I brought that Marcus Edbury had that job,
9:41
Speaker 2: and then he's the interim AD And then like what
9:44
Speaker 2: if the heired AD and it's not Marcus Heedburgy Canny Like, oh.
9:47
Speaker 1: Sorry, your chair is filled.
9:49
Speaker 2: That's a great question, Drew. I hadn't really thought about that.
9:53
Speaker 2: What if they go in another direction? Then hello, I'm
9:57
Speaker 2: over here and I still get this job? Am I
10:00
Speaker 2: still out here? Maybe he's in the boardroom now permanently well?
10:03
Speaker 3: And I also wonder as Morocco Brown most recently was
10:07
Speaker 3: the chief personnel officer, chief personnel coordinator play director with
10:14
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts. Chris Ballard is on the board or
10:20
Speaker 3: on the committee, the hiring committee for the new athletic director.
10:23
Speaker 3: He's the Colts general manager, former Badger linebackers. So I
10:26
Speaker 3: like there's a there's a number of different parallels that
10:30
Speaker 3: you could draw there. And I thought, initially now that
10:34
Speaker 3: Chris Ballard hasn't been a good general manager in the NFL.
10:37
Speaker 3: I'm a necessarily great long tenured right, He's been there
10:41
Speaker 3: for a long time. They've had some tough moments in
10:43
Speaker 3: his tenure, like your franchise quarterback retiring five days before
10:47
Speaker 3: you start the season, that would that would be in
10:49
Speaker 3: the midst there, but he is, He's been in that
10:53
Speaker 3: job for a long time. They haven't necessarily broken through.
10:56
Speaker 3: And I wondered if he was going to be one
10:58
Speaker 3: of the candidates for the athletic director job he's on
11:00
Speaker 3: the hiring committee, that would probably lend himself the not
11:04
Speaker 3: But then this Morocco Brown hire would make you think
11:06
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more of the Indianapolis Colts brain
11:09
Speaker 3: trust could be coming back here with some ties to Wisconsin.
11:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is pretty interesting game ball if you're getting
11:15
Speaker 4: excited about the World Cup and mischard of Oz for
11:18
Speaker 4: Christian Pulisic, who scored his first goal in five months
11:21
Speaker 4: for the US national team. They had a three to
11:23
Speaker 4: two win over Senegal and a friendly as they call it,
11:25
Speaker 4: and they have won Morgan's Germany before the World Cup.
11:27
Speaker 4: But he said I felt this confidence. I plitterally won
11:30
Speaker 4: in recent months too. But all people care about seem
11:32
Speaker 4: to care about his goals, so hopefully people can now
11:34
Speaker 4: stop talking about it. I feel good and obviously just
11:37
Speaker 4: a friendly. Well, that is how you win, and be ready,
11:39
Speaker 4: that's how you win. Building in soccer, I know there's
11:41
Speaker 4: a lot more than just scoring goals, but eventually you
11:43
Speaker 4: have to get some. And with the World Cup coming up,
11:46
Speaker 4: you know, the US seems to unfortunately disappoint us, So
11:49
Speaker 4: hopefully maybe this year will be a little bit differ.
11:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, who who's hot would be lame to Donovan. He
11:55
Speaker 3: is hot about the process of the USA national team.
11:59
Speaker 3: Saw some my man is not very positive on that
12:02
Speaker 3: being very good, and they're gonna get drummed in pool
12:06
Speaker 3: plays out there.
12:06
Speaker 4: And a lot of it falls on Christian it's the
12:08
Speaker 4: one player fans know of.
12:10
Speaker 1: He's the star. He's he's the one.
12:11
Speaker 4: So you know, obviously it's a very team oriented game,
12:15
Speaker 4: but it's gonna fall on him in some sense if
12:17
Speaker 4: they want to do some things here. But he got
12:19
Speaker 4: his scoreless drought snapped after five months over their win
12:24
Speaker 4: over Sentate goal for the weekend, you.
12:25
Speaker 3: Got some confidence in the USA national team there drew
12:27
Speaker 3: for that particularly.
12:29
Speaker 1: It'd be great.
12:30
Speaker 2: Hope they do well, I think, and I think I
12:32
Speaker 2: don't know if people realize if you don't, people don't
12:35
Speaker 2: remember how big the World Cup is and how as
12:37
Speaker 2: it goes on you get into it.
12:38
Speaker 1: People will get people who cares. Sucker. Yeah, you'll get
12:42
Speaker 1: into it because it's.
12:43
Speaker 2: Hard not to, especially when it's here in our time zone,
12:46
Speaker 2: and you know when they're blocking off Brady Street for
12:49
Speaker 2: celebrations and stuff, and when the US is playing, it's
12:51
Speaker 2: going to be a big deal. Like everybody's gonna whether
12:53
Speaker 2: they win or not, people are gonna watch.
12:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is the first time that I can remember.
12:57
Speaker 3: I could be I could be very much wrong in
13:00
Speaker 3: my lifetime that it's been in like our time zone right,
13:03
Speaker 3: not even just here, but like at a time where
13:06
Speaker 3: you're normally viewing sports later on in the day. Yeah,
13:10
Speaker 3: not not at eight am? Are they kicking off in
13:12
Speaker 3: South Africa? However, that was pretty sweet. During the summer
13:15
Speaker 3: when you're off for summer vacation, there's sports on all
13:17
Speaker 3: morning long morning. Yeah, and that would definitely draw some
13:20
Speaker 3: my balls. But I think the numbers are gonna be
13:22
Speaker 3: pretty good and then hopefully it's all competitive and hopefully
13:24
Speaker 3: it's fun and yeah, we can enjoy all the other
13:26
Speaker 3: teams because I don't anticipate the USA being very, very
13:29
Speaker 3: competitive in.
13:30
Speaker 2: This, but I hope I'm wrong. Are friends are getting
13:33
Speaker 2: ready for a lot of all set. The sports Book's
13:36
Speaker 2: going to be.
13:36
Speaker 3: That it is going to be live. They got a
13:38
Speaker 3: sweet deal going on starting up. I believe next Monday,
13:41
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk to our friend Luis from Potawatam Sports
13:44
Speaker 3: Book coming up later on in the week. But they
13:47
Speaker 3: got a sweet way of you being able to get
13:48
Speaker 3: a Potawatam Sports Book scarf, which is big the official
13:53
Speaker 3: kid of soccer. Right Like, if you rock around with
13:55
Speaker 3: a US with a Potawatami Sports Book soccer scarf, people
13:58
Speaker 3: are going to know that you're about that stuff.
14:00
Speaker 4: You're about it, You're serious, you know what it's like.
14:02
Speaker 4: That's the flag, that's the gear. You gotta have the scarf, man,
14:05
Speaker 4: that's the way it goes.
14:06
Speaker 1: But I will, uh, I gotta.
14:08
Speaker 3: I gotta start digging in on figuring out who I'm
14:10
Speaker 3: going to be cheering for in the Football Championship. I
14:13
Speaker 3: want to find some team that actually has a chance
14:15
Speaker 3: to win.
14:16
Speaker 4: This and get you some good odds. Obviously.
14:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going for the heavy favorite.
14:20
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, I understand that.
14:22
Speaker 1: I just lost that with your stupid center guy last weekend.
14:24
Speaker 4: Sorry about that. I can't help the weather and the cramps.
14:27
Speaker 4: He's gotta figure that thing out.
14:28
Speaker 1: Well, he's got to eat a damn banana.
14:30
Speaker 4: That was a big l There's no that was a
14:31
Speaker 4: huge upset, crying out what are we doing here? I
14:35
Speaker 4: have no defense for that. I really don't. By the way,
14:37
Speaker 4: the US is in Group D in the World Cup, USA, Paraguay, Australia,
14:41
Speaker 4: Turkey in that group and yeah, pavy hitter sounding, I
14:45
Speaker 4: don't think so.
14:46
Speaker 1: Paraguay might be, but I don't think so. I think
14:48
Speaker 1: we should be able to move through that.
14:50
Speaker 3: Paraguay had the young lady a couple of World Cups
14:52
Speaker 3: ago that if I remember correctly, got very famous right
14:55
Speaker 3: on the screen.
14:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you might be right about that, Billy,
14:57
Speaker 4: like that's remember that.
14:59
Speaker 1: That's good.
15:00
Speaker 4: They had a big event there for the Champions League
15:02
Speaker 4: final over the weekend on Saturday and Potawatamie.
15:05
Speaker 1: That was a big deals.
15:07
Speaker 4: Paris Sint Germain took down Arsenal and and that was
15:09
Speaker 4: a huge, huge event in international.
15:12
Speaker 1: Apparently it was a good game too, huge game.
15:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, came down to penalty kicks, early goal for Arsenal
15:17
Speaker 4: and then PSG tied it with a p K and
15:19
Speaker 4: then they ended up winning it. So uh yeah, crazy one.
15:23
Speaker 4: Obviously a lot of interest there and a good kind
15:26
Speaker 4: of appetizer here for the.
15:27
Speaker 3: World And and Ganis was there too, going out kicking
15:30
Speaker 3: the kicking the pill around a little bit. Saw him
15:33
Speaker 3: take a nice little passive aggressive shot at Damian Lillard tone.
15:36
Speaker 4: I don't think he realized he sub Damian, but he
15:38
Speaker 4: did by saying because someone said Damien was, you know, resting,
15:41
Speaker 4: And honestly he's like, I just like to play wherever.
15:44
Speaker 1: I I don't take my stuff for granted, I don't
15:45
Speaker 1: take any for granted.
15:46
Speaker 4: So Giannis is sort of on that sort of pr
15:49
Speaker 4: tour in my opinion.
15:50
Speaker 1: Still, I don't know that's right.
15:54
Speaker 4: Just living his life, going to the zoo, posting about it,
15:56
Speaker 4: you know, doing his thing, hanging out good stuff, having
15:59
Speaker 4: some fun, having some fun.
16:00
Speaker 3: That's the right way. That's the right way of going
16:02
Speaker 3: about it. Going going to one of these matches is
16:04
Speaker 3: going to be a heck of a time. Be the
16:06
Speaker 3: house on Germany in the World Cup.
16:08
Speaker 1: Doabbler? I thought they always losing the World Cup? Or
16:10
Speaker 1: is that England?
16:11
Speaker 4: England always loses one of a few cycles. But the
16:14
Speaker 4: thing is, Dobbler's also a fan, I think, So you
16:16
Speaker 4: can't really eat.
16:17
Speaker 3: But you know what, Dobbler is my most connected soccer fan,
16:21
Speaker 3: like so my my buddy Jake, who I have the
16:24
Speaker 3: privilege of being his best man in his wedding later
16:26
Speaker 3: on this year.
16:26
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about it.
16:28
Speaker 3: By the way, I get to go and through one
16:29
Speaker 3: of Arman Surian's favorite things coming up in a couple
16:31
Speaker 3: of weeks at the Tucks season. But he's a huge
16:36
Speaker 3: Arsenal fan, and so I heard all about the loss
16:40
Speaker 3: and I'm like, man, that sounds awful, that sounds tough.
16:43
Speaker 3: That sounds like, I don't know, blowing a twenty one
16:44
Speaker 3: three lead in a playoff game, but I wouldn't know
16:47
Speaker 3: anything about what that would feel like, So you start
16:50
Speaker 3: to try to put yourself into that that frame. I
16:52
Speaker 3: want to find somebody that I can root alongside for
16:55
Speaker 3: the soccer.
16:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's more fun to be in a group experience,
16:58
Speaker 4: you know, because Naggs has been trying to help me
17:00
Speaker 4: out with the soccer.
17:01
Speaker 1: I'm going to carry the g podcast.
17:03
Speaker 3: But uh, I mean he is as broken up as
17:05
Speaker 3: anybody is because he's a fan of Chelsea.
17:07
Speaker 1: Apparently their team, their team was awful.
17:09
Speaker 3: This Apparently they were straight warm cheeks. So that's a tough,
17:12
Speaker 3: tough team to have. So I want to try to
17:14
Speaker 3: find somebody that's gonna help us out and that we
17:17
Speaker 3: can we can pull alongside of, because I mean, I
17:19
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe there's maybe there's a story like the
17:21
Speaker 3: Spurs Nuns that we're missing out on. We're gonna get
17:24
Speaker 3: all this good stuff once June eleventh kicks off. It
17:27
Speaker 3: is absolutely how strange, How strange was it watching Mitch
17:30
Speaker 3: Johnson interviewed UH the other night on Saturday Night and
17:34
Speaker 3: not having the uh, the two sets behind.
17:37
Speaker 5: It was.
17:38
Speaker 1: It was a little less unnerving. It was a little strange.
17:41
Speaker 3: I mean, every single time I've seen Mitch Johnson at home,
17:43
Speaker 3: there's just been two things happening right behind him.
17:46
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep your eyes away from Charles. Yeah.
17:49
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Billy, really quick, is this your first best man
17:52
Speaker 4: speech you're gonna be giving?
17:53
Speaker 1: I can't remember if you did it before. Yes, this
17:56
Speaker 1: will be. This will be the first one. Yes.
17:58
Speaker 4: So I wanted to give another game ball the misard

18:02
Speaker 4: man is for one of my Are you giving yourself
18:04
Speaker 4: a game ball?
18:05
Speaker 1: No, it's not, Okay, it's not.

Speaker 4: I just want to set this up for my best
18:09
Speaker 4: friends who had you know you guys know them. This
18:11
Speaker 4: weekend I had the Marquette reunion, but kind of the
18:13

19:22
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something that is.
19:23
Speaker 4: You know, when you talk about coolest jobs in the world,
19:26
Speaker 4: I think being a Navy pilot and we've all seen
19:29
Speaker 4: top Gun and on it one of the most amazing
19:31
Speaker 4: displays of skill, mental fortitude, ability that you'll ever have.

21:06
Speaker 2: something cool that the admirals have going as well. Don't

21:11
Speaker 2: Monday morning in the Goodland. You're in the huddle Fox
21:13
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Wisconsin, rolling through a Monday in the Goodland
21:26
Speaker 2: rebellion arm and it's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
21:30
Speaker 2: nine twenty Milwaukee ten seventy, Medison everywhere on the iHeart apps,
21:33
Speaker 2: streaming live, Facebook X and YouTube for you early risers
21:38
Speaker 2: joining us now.
21:38
Speaker 1: He's an early riser. He's following the Brewers.
21:40
Speaker 2: He's already up looking for more numbers on the miss
21:42
Speaker 2: it's our buddy, Hunter. Bombgart the Fourth joins us on
21:45
Speaker 2: the nicolay Lot dot com talk and text line.
21:47
Speaker 1: Good morning, Hunter, Good morning.
21:50
Speaker 5: I feel like there's always more numbers to find when
21:53
Speaker 5: you talk about what Miz is doing right now.
21:55
Speaker 2: Unprecedented month of May for him, one of the best
21:57
Speaker 2: months that we've ever seen from a brewer. Starter did
22:00
Speaker 2: it again yesterday and Hunter, the thing that impresses me
22:03
Speaker 2: the most is he's doing it different ways. Like some
22:04
Speaker 2: days he's overpowering just throws fastball, some days, like the
22:08
Speaker 2: fastball is not really as sharper locatable as it should
22:12
Speaker 2: be throwing other stuff. He just finds different ways, and
22:15
Speaker 2: yet the mo remains the same. Don't give up a
22:18
Speaker 2: lot of hits, So don't give up a lot of run,
22:20
Speaker 2: strike out a bunch of dudes, and don't walk.
22:21
Speaker 5: Many, right, and that's gonna win you a lot of ballgames.
22:25
Speaker 5: And as Pat Murphy has said this year, like he's
22:26
Speaker 5: turning into a pitcher. He's not just overpowering you with
22:29
Speaker 5: one hundred and three like, of course he is overpowering
22:32
Speaker 5: you with one hundred and three at times, and all
22:34
Speaker 5: those pitches over one hundred miles an hour. But at
22:37
Speaker 5: the end of the day, he's also being able to pitch,
22:39
Speaker 5: like you said, and if the you know, the velocity
22:42
Speaker 5: has been there for pretty much every start this season,
22:44
Speaker 5: but even if it's not, you trust that he can
22:46
Speaker 5: do it in other ways, like you mentioned. And I
22:49
Speaker 5: just that is the maturity of Jacob Izarowski this year
22:53
Speaker 5: that maybe you hoped to see but didn't know if
22:55
Speaker 5: it would come this quick. I mean, he came up
22:58
Speaker 5: in mid June of last year, so we're not even
23:00
Speaker 5: a year in a calendar year into his major league career,
23:04
Speaker 5: and you think of how much he's grown since that
23:07
Speaker 5: first downing. And yes, he was dominant, I mean against
23:09
Speaker 5: the Cardinals and Twins, didn't give up, you know, and
23:11
Speaker 5: he hits until whatever thirteen to fourteenth inning of his
23:14
Speaker 5: major league career. And obviously he was dominant at times
23:17
Speaker 5: last year against the Dodgers and other teams. But this
23:21
Speaker 5: is just this is a different level where it's just
23:24
Speaker 5: he is able to navigate anything, and last year he
23:27
Speaker 5: would hit bumps in the road if maybe yeah, the
23:29
Speaker 5: fastball or the control or obviously the big thing right
23:32
Speaker 5: now is the control is there, and he's able to
23:35
Speaker 5: put the ball where he wants to, no matter how
23:38
Speaker 5: fast it's going, and that is scary to hitters. I
23:41
Speaker 5: can imagine when he has that type of control. So
23:45
Speaker 5: it's really fun to watch. I mean, the fifty seven
23:47
Speaker 5: strikeouts in one month, doing that and doing it at
23:51
Speaker 5: most strikeouts in any calendar months of any you know,
23:55
Speaker 5: in Brewers franchise history is incredibly impressive. And then you
23:59
Speaker 5: put in obviously the velocity, you put in what he's
24:02
Speaker 5: doing and keeping guys off base in the you know,
24:05
Speaker 5: the extra base hits that I think he gave up
24:07
Speaker 5: one in the month, like everything like that, and you
24:10
Speaker 5: just continue to be wild by what he's doing.
24:12
Speaker 1: I wish I wasn't so scared Hunter.
24:13
Speaker 3: When we did our WAT productions wild ass predictions going
24:17
Speaker 3: on before the season. I looked at these guys and
24:19
Speaker 3: I said, I think them is going to get close
24:21
Speaker 3: to two hundred strikeouts. I didn't know what his innings
24:22
Speaker 3: limit was going to be, right, I didn't know if
24:24
Speaker 3: they were going to cap him at a number of appearances.
24:26
Speaker 1: Slow play it. I wish I would have just said
24:28
Speaker 1: he was.
24:28
Speaker 3: Going to get two hundred strikeouts, because he might get
24:30
Speaker 3: two hundred striacouts by the All Star break.
24:32
Speaker 1: The way he's going right now.
24:33
Speaker 3: He's already at one hundred and eight on the year.
24:35
Speaker 3: Dustin on the talking text line had had it put
24:38
Speaker 3: really well. Jacob Mazowski is better than my video game character.
24:41
Speaker 3: That's nutty. He's also built like one right, like the
24:44
Speaker 3: long and lengthy six foot seven. But to have that
24:47
Speaker 3: command is pretty insane. And the calmness that he is
24:53
Speaker 3: now showing us in showcasing on the mound might be
24:57
Speaker 3: one of the most impressive things he has the little
24:59
Speaker 3: mounds slip with the leg yesterday in the fifth inning,
25:03
Speaker 3: and then just throw some of the most disgusting off
25:05
Speaker 3: speed pitches he has all day long last year that
25:09
Speaker 3: might have rattled him this year. Being able to put
25:11
Speaker 3: that to the side and pitch that's some pretty uh
25:14
Speaker 3: impressive maturity just year two into the Biggs, for sure.
25:18
Speaker 5: I mean, I think he said, I think it was
25:20
Speaker 5: the Padres game this year where he said he didn't
25:23
Speaker 5: have his best stuff and he still was dominant. And
25:25
Speaker 5: those types of outings give you confidence for a time
25:28
Speaker 5: like that where we maybe don't have your best stuff,
25:30
Speaker 5: or maybe the mound's not great like it has been
25:33
Speaker 5: in a couple of different uh, you know, starts this
25:35
Speaker 5: season when they've been on the road and he's been
25:37
Speaker 5: able to battle and still just throw you know, seven
25:40
Speaker 5: shutout innings like he did yesterday. I mean that yeah,
25:43
Speaker 5: like you said, that is the that is the confidence,
25:46
Speaker 5: that's the poise. That's what we've also seen from Kyle Harrison.
25:48
Speaker 5: I think the poise has been really impressive from him
25:50
Speaker 5: as well. And Mizarowski is just it's just kind of
25:53
Speaker 5: whole hum. I mean when he talks to reporters yesterday,
25:56
Speaker 5: it's like, how would you grade your mate? Ah, that's
25:57
Speaker 5: pretty good, Like, you know, it's like, you know, whatever
26:01
Speaker 5: they bring up, any record that he oh, it's that's decent.
26:03
Speaker 1: You know.
26:03
Speaker 5: It's just it's just whole hum about it. And it's
26:06
Speaker 5: just and look, I mean he's kind of that aweshuck's
26:09
Speaker 5: whole hum you know kind of guy. When when he's
26:11
Speaker 5: signed to the media, he's he's also a really big
26:14
Speaker 5: competitor when he's out there on the mound and you
26:17
Speaker 5: see it obviously with the emotion, and I love that
26:19
Speaker 5: side of him because you wouldn't necessarily think that that
26:22
Speaker 5: type of emotion would come out of him necessarily if
26:25
Speaker 5: you just were watching him pitch for the first time,
26:27
Speaker 5: but you love that he does that and and picks
26:30
Speaker 5: his spots for it. I think he picks his spots
26:32
Speaker 5: maybe even a little bit more now than he did
26:34
Speaker 5: a year ago. Uh And I think that's part of
26:37
Speaker 5: the maturing process too. So yeah, all things considered, that
26:40
Speaker 5: guy is is every time, I mean every single time
26:44
Speaker 5: that guy pitches, and it's so unfortunate that he's missing
26:46
Speaker 5: this homestand he's going to be like the one pitcher
26:48
Speaker 5: that misses this homestand this four gamer against the Giants.
26:51
Speaker 5: But every time this guy pitches, it's like, get to
26:53
Speaker 5: your TV. Get, you know, get However, if you have
26:56
Speaker 5: to stream it on your phone because you just don't
26:58
Speaker 5: know what, you know what next record, this guy's gonna
27:01
Speaker 5: break talking.
27:02
Speaker 1: To Hunter bomb Guard here.
27:03
Speaker 2: He's brought to us by Import Minded the Experts, twenty
27:06
Speaker 2: seventh Street, just north of eight ninety four Hunter time
27:10
Speaker 2: for the Orthpedic Associates Wisconsin Injury update that we rely
27:13
Speaker 2: on you for Quinn Priester. Now, no more Triple A starts.
27:17
Speaker 2: Let's go to Arizona. Let's get back to basics. Let's
27:19
Speaker 2: get you more a more sheltered environment than Triple A
27:24
Speaker 2: games is the way they've decided, So his return is
27:27
Speaker 2: not imminent. Can you tell us better news about Brandon Woodriff?
27:32
Speaker 5: I hope, so I think we should get an update
27:34
Speaker 5: on Woodrif today. When we talked to Pat Murphy, he
27:36
Speaker 5: was scheduled for a live VP this week, So I
27:40
Speaker 5: don't know when this week, hopefully earlier rather than later.
27:44
Speaker 5: I mean, look, the Brewers have two TBAs at the
27:47
Speaker 5: end of this giant series. Shane jroones At to start tonight,
27:49
Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison tomorrow, and then you have a TBA on
27:51
Speaker 5: Wednesday TV and Thursday. They're kind of depleted as much
27:54
Speaker 5: depth and it's just wild. Every year we say, you know,
27:57
Speaker 5: can never have enough pitching. It's so true. Look at
27:59
Speaker 5: where this is right now, and you're down Woodrif, and
28:02
Speaker 5: you're down Priester, and you're down Henderson and Frotz not
28:05
Speaker 5: pitching grades and Gasstar didn't pitch great when he came
28:07
Speaker 5: up for those two starts. I would think Coleman Crow
28:10
Speaker 5: is going to be one of those starts Wednesday or Thursday.
28:12
Speaker 5: But you look at where they are now and it's like, yeah,
28:16
Speaker 5: you want Brandon woodrip back as soon as possible, and
28:18
Speaker 5: so we'll see. He's last we heard, scheduled for a
28:22
Speaker 5: live VP. That means, you know, facing hitters again. He
28:25
Speaker 5: did that, I believe, like ten days ago, and so
28:28
Speaker 5: we'll see if he does it here earlier this early
28:30
Speaker 5: this week. We'll talk to Pat Murphy about that today.
28:33
Speaker 5: Like you mentioned, Quinn Priesters now is rehamb assignments being
28:36
Speaker 5: transferred to Arizona so they can have a little more
28:39
Speaker 5: control over what he's doing and not really deplete what
28:41
Speaker 5: they're doing a triple A like if he is scheduled
28:44
Speaker 5: for four innings and then only can throw two and
28:47
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden the bullpen for the sounds
28:48
Speaker 5: is messed up. So they're like, you know what, we
28:50
Speaker 5: can control it a little more, and so we're gonna
28:53
Speaker 5: send him to Arizona. They're still thinking they can try
28:55
Speaker 5: to do this without surgery. Priester was on board with
28:58
Speaker 5: the move, you know, according to Pat more over the weekend.
29:00
Speaker 5: So we'll see where that goes. Like you said, his
29:03
Speaker 5: return definitely not imminent. Logan Henderson remains on the IL
29:07
Speaker 5: with the backstrain. Hopefully we get a positive update on him.
29:10
Speaker 5: Maybe he's back to throwing and things like that. This week,
29:15
Speaker 5: Good rob Z is back. Robs the Trisney joined the
29:18
Speaker 5: team yesterday after missing the first two months of the season.
29:20
Speaker 5: Jared Kanigg's on his rehab assignment for the Nashville Sounds now,
29:24
Speaker 5: so you're starting to get some horses back in that bullpen.
29:27
Speaker 5: Hopefully you can get Knig back. I mean, Kanig be
29:30
Speaker 5: big for that bullpen. We talked about how yeah, I mean,
29:33
Speaker 5: it seems like this bullpen has been just kind of
29:36
Speaker 5: a man down throughout this year. And it's great that
29:39
Speaker 5: McGill's pitched incredibly Really in the last month and a half,
29:42
Speaker 5: McGill's been incredible. Abner rebase pitching better. But you want
29:46
Speaker 5: to have that lefty Kanig that you relied on last
29:49
Speaker 5: year in addition to Ashby, and you make your bullpen better.
29:52
Speaker 5: So hopefully he's back, I don't know, maybe a week
29:55
Speaker 5: or two away. Here.
29:56
Speaker 4: Well, you're not seeing us today, but you missed Hunter,
29:59
Speaker 4: you missed Billy Rowling talk about the Nationville bullpen.
30:02
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I apologize. Maybe it's a good thing that
30:05
Speaker 3: I'm not running this club. I couldn't give a rats
30:07
Speaker 3: ass about the sounds bullpen. How it's sitting here in June,
30:10
Speaker 3: as long as it's helping the big league club.
30:12
Speaker 4: Oh, the president care about the admirals first line when
30:14
Speaker 4: they took Yeah, he's.
30:15
Speaker 1: Saying, I'm sorry, I don't care like I can't. It's
30:18
Speaker 1: your bullpen is better. But one hundred's a good thing
30:21
Speaker 1: that they're.
30:21
Speaker 3: Thinking about all that stuff, because you know, if I
30:23
Speaker 3: was running, I just get all the best arms right
30:25
Speaker 3: up here and throw them through and figure it out.
30:28
Speaker 1: But it is it is interesting where you know.
30:32
Speaker 3: You're about a man down in the pen maybe or
30:36
Speaker 3: one or two down in the rotation. And then Murph
30:38
Speaker 3: comes out with the sprot comment on Saturday and says
30:41
Speaker 3: exactly what everybody watching has been saying the same thing.
30:44
Speaker 1: All right, how long are we doing this?
30:45
Speaker 4: Like?
30:45
Speaker 3: I love the fact that he feel that they feel
30:48
Speaker 3: like he's getting a little bit better. That did feel
30:50
Speaker 3: like a clear step back over the last couple of starts.
30:53
Speaker 3: What do you think the longevity is, sprot in the
30:56
Speaker 3: in the rotation is do you think he's making this
30:58
Speaker 3: next start? Do you think they go for a little
31:00
Speaker 3: bit more seasoning down in the minors like they sent
31:02
Speaker 3: the chariso down for a number of years ago. What
31:05
Speaker 3: do you think that the next play for the mustache
31:07
Speaker 3: number twenty three Brandon sprot is I.
31:10
Speaker 5: Mean, maybe they try. Maybe the next step is going
31:13
Speaker 5: back to a try of an opener to see if
31:15
Speaker 5: that helps. But I don't even know. I don't know
31:17
Speaker 5: what that's necessarily going to do. He's just got to
31:19
Speaker 5: pitch better. I mean, that's kind of the he's got
31:21
Speaker 5: to get, you know, not into such deep counts. He
31:24
Speaker 5: can't put guys on as much, you know, like it
31:27
Speaker 5: just overall that is, that's just that's the hamper. The
31:30
Speaker 5: deep counts is what's what's getting it. Whether he gets
31:32
Speaker 5: the guy out or whether he gets he just can't go.
31:35
Speaker 5: He's got to get through five innings. Really, that's kind
31:38
Speaker 5: of the goal right now. And so it's tough because
31:41
Speaker 5: obviously you need pitchers at the major league level, and
31:43
Speaker 5: because of how beat up they are, I you know,
31:46
Speaker 5: what would be your other option. I guess it'd probably
31:48
Speaker 5: be Robert Gasser at some point, but I don't know
31:50
Speaker 5: after his couple starts if you're any better off there. When,
31:55
Speaker 5: as Pam Murphy has said, like when he's good, he's good,
31:58
Speaker 5: like he's really good and as a chance to be
32:00
Speaker 5: really good. But I don't know if that development is
32:02
Speaker 5: quite there yet. And so does that happen in Nashville
32:06
Speaker 5: or do you want that to happen with Chris Hook
32:08
Speaker 5: and Jim Henderson. But the flip side of that is
32:10
Speaker 5: Pat Murphy saying we're not rebuilding on Satyami. He's like,
32:14
Speaker 5: this isn't a rebuilding club. He said that after spro
32:16
Speaker 5: pitched in Saint Louis Too in early May. It's like,
32:19
Speaker 5: you know, we're not just gonna have him learn out
32:20
Speaker 5: there because we're trying to win. So, boy, this is
32:23
Speaker 5: this is going to be interesting because this is a
32:26
Speaker 5: key piece of that Freddie prawl to deal. Obviously, you've
32:28
Speaker 5: got Jet Williams, who's been playing well overall over the
32:31
Speaker 5: last month or so in Nashville, and at one point
32:34
Speaker 5: do you see him and sports the other part of
32:37
Speaker 5: that deal. It's kind of like T. L. Hall and
32:38
Speaker 5: Joy or Teas have always got to kind of kind
32:40
Speaker 5: of been connected because you've got those guys for Corbyn
32:42
Speaker 5: Burns and it's like you want at least one of
32:45
Speaker 5: them to be a significant contributor. Now do I think
32:48
Speaker 5: Brandon Sprote can be a significant contributor at the major
32:51
Speaker 5: league level. Yes, absolutely, and he's got he's got stuff
32:53
Speaker 5: to do it he says, to learn, And I don't know,
32:56
Speaker 5: it's only it's I know it's it feels like a lot,
32:59
Speaker 5: but it's only it's been two months, and you'd we wonder, okay,
33:02
Speaker 5: do you give him, give him a month at triple
33:04
Speaker 5: A and see if that develops them. It's they're in
33:07
Speaker 5: a really they're in a tough spot number one, because
33:09
Speaker 5: they need him. Like if Woodroff was healthy, was healthy,
33:12
Speaker 5: if Priest was healthy, if Henderson was like if they
33:14
Speaker 5: had their full compliment, I wonder if they would even
33:17
Speaker 5: more consider sending in a triple A. But right now,
33:20
Speaker 5: I just think you kind of have to roll with them.
33:23
Speaker 5: And then maybe you say, Okay, we're gonna piggyback him
33:26
Speaker 5: with a Chad Patrick, or we're gonna we're gonna somehow
33:28
Speaker 5: do an opener or do something else that maybe could
33:31
Speaker 5: work a little better. In the meantime, while you have
33:34
Speaker 5: to throw this guy out there and see if he
33:37
Speaker 5: can get better, and maybe that helps. We'll see, they're
33:40
Speaker 5: in a tough spot with him.
33:42
Speaker 1: Unfair to ask this on the way out we got
33:44
Speaker 1: like a minute left. But Hunter.
33:45
Speaker 2: For as much as people are obsessing about the left
33:48
Speaker 2: side of the infield and the lack of production from
33:50
Speaker 2: Renifo and Joey Ortiz, they're kind of ignoring self Frielick
33:55
Speaker 2: went from competing for a batting title to what happened
33:58
Speaker 2: to south Freelick?
33:59
Speaker 1: Now he was I made a lot of comments.
34:01
Speaker 2: I've made jokes about him using a nerf bat and
34:03
Speaker 2: being the king of soft contact, and then he kind
34:05
Speaker 2: of shut me up. Last year he and Caleb Durbin
34:07
Speaker 2: both and now they're in the discussion of the worst
34:10
Speaker 2: least productive hitters in major leagues?
34:11
Speaker 1: Are Caleb Durban and self Relic? Where are you with
34:13
Speaker 1: self reel? Like?
34:14
Speaker 2: Where are the Brewers with self Reelick? How much rope
34:16
Speaker 2: does he get before he has to take a little powder,
34:20
Speaker 2: a little uh, go find yourself, Go find your stroke.
34:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, I I would think he's going to get a
34:28
Speaker 5: pretty pretty long leash, not only because Pat Murphy loves
34:31
Speaker 5: the guy, but I also think, like, I don't know,
34:35
Speaker 5: his defense is very valid. It's like it's the Joey
34:38
Speaker 5: or Teeze discussion again. I feel like because his defense
34:40
Speaker 5: is really good and the way he closes on balls.
34:44
Speaker 5: I mean, there's there is last homestand I was really
34:47
Speaker 5: noticing it with Garrett Mitchell and also with South Freelick,
34:49
Speaker 5: like some balls in the gap that I'm like, oh,
34:51
Speaker 5: that's going to get down and his closing speed is phenomenal.
34:55
Speaker 5: It's like I just it's it's just seeing it the
34:58
Speaker 5: eye test. I mean, I haven't dug into the defense
35:00
Speaker 5: of numbers as deep as maybe they go, but I
35:03
Speaker 5: also just can can see it, you know, watching him play,
35:06
Speaker 5: and I think so that's valuable on that side. I mean,
35:09
Speaker 5: you you sought over the weekend Bowers playing in right field,
35:11
Speaker 5: I mean you could see maybe that a little bit
35:13
Speaker 5: more and maybe have him coming off the bench and
35:17
Speaker 5: trying to get him a little reset, you know. I
35:21
Speaker 5: I think he's going to have a long leash. I mean,
35:23
Speaker 5: I would be surprised if he's sent down kind of
35:25
Speaker 5: anytime soon. But he is that bottom three in your
35:30
Speaker 5: lineup right now is tough. That The big thing about
35:32
Speaker 5: what they were able to do last year, they really
35:35
Speaker 5: won through nine, maybe aside from Moretiz maybe one through eight.
35:38
Speaker 5: They were really able to have production from from the
35:41
Speaker 5: top to that to the near bottom of that lineup
35:44
Speaker 5: maybe except for Joey in that lineup, and this year
35:47
Speaker 5: there is kind of that clear hole way down, you know,
35:50
Speaker 5: in that last three, especially if you know ren Hepo's
35:53
Speaker 5: not getting well and our tees obviously has not had
35:56
Speaker 5: a great year offensively by any stretch. So yeah, and
35:59
Speaker 5: then freely so like you have that bottom three and
36:02
Speaker 5: can you improve that. I wonder if that's a jet
36:04
Speaker 5: Williams here at some point, because feel like you'd fit
36:07
Speaker 5: this team pretty well, and I'd like to see if
36:09
Speaker 5: he can kind of do what Durban did last year,
36:12
Speaker 5: but in the outfield. I mean, I what the big movie,
36:16
Speaker 5: and I'm not suggesting this happens anytime soon, but would
36:18
Speaker 5: would be a Luis Laura type of thing where then
36:21
Speaker 5: you'd play him every day, because if you're going to
36:23
Speaker 5: bring up Laara, you want him to play every day.
36:25
Speaker 5: But I just don't know if I see them after
36:28
Speaker 5: two months. I know it's two months, I know it's
36:29
Speaker 5: almost sixty games and everything. Just don't necessarily see them
36:32
Speaker 5: giving up on not giving up totally, but even sending
36:35
Speaker 5: Freelick down anytime soon. I just don't know if the
36:37
Speaker 5: organization's in a position to do that.
36:39
Speaker 1: I t agree times interesting times. Hunter, thank you for
