- 2:49Speaker 3: That's the Luis Laura catch out, trying to be with
- 2:53Speaker 3: an awesome exclamation. I was trying to decide between that
- 2:55Speaker 3: and the walk off, but that was just so good.
- 2:56Speaker 3: I got to go with that one.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Conversely, kick to the balls, performance improvement plan, please do better.

- 3:10Speaker 2: are okay.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Yeah, the good good ones hit us with them eight
- 3:13Speaker 1: seven seven, seven.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Nine four one ninety seven to three.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Game ball, I guess for family night on Friday night,
- 3:22Speaker 1: not being interrupted by by thunderstor.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Yeah, that's nice, isn't it.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Hope everybody that went up there had a good time. Uh,
- 3:32Speaker 1: it's rare. It's been the last couple of years. It
- 3:34Speaker 1: seems like it's always raining that night.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Absolutely, it just feels like that's a tradition for family night.
- 3:39Speaker 2: And of course I don't know about you.
- 3:41Speaker 3: I had PTSD from a year ago drew right around
- 3:44Speaker 3: this time and we had the really bad floods. I
- 3:46Speaker 3: remember because it was the first night of Packers preseason
- 3:49Speaker 3: last year when we had the really bad floods and
- 3:51Speaker 3: I was worried about that rain that night because I
- 3:53Speaker 3: was hoping we stay in the air and all these things.
- 3:55Speaker 3: And that was the night that everyone had the bad
- 3:58Speaker 3: flooding and you guys had to drive home in that.
- 4:00Speaker 3: So yeah, this time of year is always precarious for
- 4:03Speaker 3: those situations. And as you mentioned, for family knight, so
- 4:06Speaker 3: a game ball for that one and a good night
- 4:08Speaker 3: for the Packers good night from Matthew Golden as well.
- 4:10Speaker 3: He kind of popped off and that was an exciting
- 4:13Speaker 3: family night like that.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Always good.
- 4:15Speaker 1: How about a game ball to a guy who will
- 4:16Speaker 1: always go unappreciated, the kind of guy that you only
- 4:19Speaker 1: notice when something goes Haywire Brew's third base coach, Matt Erickson.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Does he get any credit for the send? I think so,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I mean you should. Yeah, it's a great base running play.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Oh but you know Bryce terrain, great running, great slide.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Well somebody waved him through.
- 4:37Speaker 3: It was a great play and it was yeah, all
- 4:40Speaker 3: that was true. Like Bryce executed right, he had to
- 4:42Speaker 3: do the actual running and diving. But the thing is
- 4:44Speaker 3: it was a good educated decision. It was a good
- 4:47Speaker 3: calculated risk to the reasons we mentioned earlier on the
- 4:49Speaker 3: show if you missed it right, true is that the
- 4:51Speaker 3: situation with who was coming up after this might be
- 4:55Speaker 3: our chance to win this.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Let's go get it.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that was a good that's a good
- 5:00Speaker 1: and you deserve credit for that.
- 5:02Speaker 3: So kudos, no question, no question. Indeed, I mean that
- 5:06Speaker 3: was one of the and and what I saw that
- 5:10Speaker 3: And we'll have Hunter on here to talk about a
- 5:11Speaker 3: little bit. But Pat Murphy called it one of the
- 5:14Speaker 3: best team wins of the year, a best team win
- 5:16Speaker 3: of the year in a lot of ways.
- 5:17Speaker 2: That's true. Everyone had to chimp in their part.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Do their thing to try and I don't want to
- 5:21Speaker 3: say snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, but it
- 5:24Speaker 3: was looking bleak at some points, true, and the you know,
- 5:27Speaker 3: the Brewers did take the lead three to one and
- 5:29Speaker 3: then Miz gives up the homer and you're like, oh boy, here,
- 5:31Speaker 3: we're gonna have to rescue this one again.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And the brus found a.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Way I needed to because the Cubs are keeping the
- 5:36Speaker 3: pressure on here in the central as they took two
- 5:38Speaker 3: out of three from the Royals.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Murph talked about that, you know, the total team win thing. Yeah,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and it really was because they pinch ran Yelich. They
- 5:50Speaker 1: had Contreras, were supposed to get the day off and
- 5:52Speaker 1: ended up catching because they you know, ch ran for Sanchez,
- 5:56Speaker 1: So you lost your you know, your DH because Can
- 6:00Speaker 1: first was the DH. So it was Yeah, there's a
- 6:03Speaker 1: lot of uh machinations with that. And then they brought
- 6:06Speaker 1: up you know, Bay, who's been a Brewer what for
- 6:08Speaker 1: like eight hours, not even you showed up, got the
- 6:11Speaker 1: ballpark at like ten o'clock and he's in, gets a
- 6:13Speaker 1: bunt down and there's a lot of work. There a
- 6:17Speaker 1: lot going on in this game. Yeah, for the Brewers
- 6:20Speaker 1: not to mention, you know, Ashby, Urebay and McGill, and
- 6:25Speaker 1: then deal Hall getting the dub.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Can we give it you well, obviously Ashby, but can
- 6:29Speaker 3: we give your rebate?
- 6:30Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, I don't know what. What's the number? Twenty
- 6:35Speaker 2: one straight scoreless appearances.
- 6:37Speaker 3: I want to say, it's been just incredible stuff kind
- 6:40Speaker 3: of quietly, you know, with all the worked around a
- 6:42Speaker 3: couple of walks. Yeah, but him and McGill been so solid,
- 6:44Speaker 3: especially An I mean when you see them, it's too late,
- 6:47Speaker 3: you know, out of the Brewers put that graphic out there.
- 6:49Speaker 2: But it really is true. I mean, those guys have
- 6:51Speaker 2: quietly just done.
- 6:52Speaker 3: The job that they that they have to do, and
- 6:54Speaker 3: they've been just you know, absolutely proficient at it in
- 6:57Speaker 3: the back end of the bullpen.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the uh.
- 7:02Speaker 1: You knows, just they were up four nothing on Friday
- 7:05Speaker 1: and lost.
- 7:06Speaker 2: That was the kick to the balls right there.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And then oh yeah, and then Churio'll get some started
- 7:11Speaker 1: with a home run yesterday and uh you know, still
- 7:16Speaker 1: and then it got tenuous and mit has got the
- 7:18Speaker 1: lead and gave it up in the sixth inning.
- 7:20Speaker 2: So yeah, a lot a.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Lot going on in that game, especially when you're facing
- 7:23Speaker 3: this West Coast trip, which could be obviously, you know,
- 7:26Speaker 3: difficult with what the teams are playing. So a lot
- 7:29Speaker 3: going on. But it was important to get two out
- 7:30Speaker 3: of three, I thought in this one.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe from Milwaukee wanted a game ball. Luis Laura Man,
- 7:41Speaker 3: you know, the defensive ability he has is incredible and
- 7:44Speaker 3: it's as advertised now. When he first came up and
- 7:46Speaker 3: he's used to center I think in the minor leagues,
- 7:48Speaker 3: but he first come up and right it was a
- 7:49Speaker 3: couple of like weird jump catches and right, he wasn't
- 7:52Speaker 3: used to it, but he's gotten really comfortable and made
- 7:54Speaker 3: some great, great catches out there. And uh, he's kind
- 7:57Speaker 3: of taking the page out of the South Really playbook
- 7:59Speaker 3: when he came up up and start running the walls,
- 8:01Speaker 3: drew and stuff like that. Now you want these guys
- 8:03Speaker 3: to to help me though, That's the thing.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Agreed, Agreed.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Game ball to Jacob Wilson. Who you ask is Jacob Wilson. Well,
- 8:15Speaker 1: he's the Athletics shortstop. Someday he'll be playing in Vegas,
- 8:20Speaker 1: but right now Sacramento. He set a record with his
- 8:24Speaker 1: one hundred and eleventh errorless game. Consecutive errorless games at shortstop.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Do you want to feel old?
- 8:31Speaker 2: Want that? Yeah?
- 8:32Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson's father was a brewer, killer Jack Wilson. Jack Wilson,
- 8:39Speaker 1: Jack Wilson's son just set a record. That's start playing
- 8:42Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven errorless games at short Jack Wilson
- 8:45Speaker 1: played short for the Pirates and a couple other teams.
- 8:47Speaker 3: But did he just retire? It felt like it at
- 8:50Speaker 3: least Jack Wilson.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Well, Jack Wilson's forty eight years old.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I feel where's the time going? His
- 8:56Speaker 3: son is twenty four, Yeah, and amazing, Yeah, there his
- 9:00Speaker 3: son is.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And like Jack Wilson was always man, he's oh he
- 9:04Speaker 1: killed us. Were a killer?
- 9:05Speaker 3: Yeah right, one of those guys that you'd always seen
- 9:09Speaker 3: in the lineup and you're like, oh god, we have
- 9:10Speaker 3: to get him out again. And it was like, how
- 9:12Speaker 3: are we gonna do this? You know, I was victor
- 9:14Speaker 3: of Santos and carls Villa and away we're gonna get
- 9:16Speaker 3: these guys out. It was always like, and he would
- 9:19Speaker 3: he wouldn't have crazy numbers usually right every night, he'd
- 9:21Speaker 3: have good numbers. And I think for a shortstop too,
- 9:24Speaker 3: I guess offensive numbers. But then it's like for us
- 9:27Speaker 3: against us, he was always a beast yep, it was
- 9:30Speaker 3: it was like, there's one of those guys, so all right,
- 9:32Speaker 3: that's that's pretty good work though to not have an
- 9:35Speaker 3: error that long and.
- 9:36Speaker 2: To give a the as and pop.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Joe from Milwaukee wants to give a game ball to
- 9:40Speaker 1: Luis Lara for the game that catches us he remains
- 9:46Speaker 1: healthy because Burr's starting to become an issue. And Joe
- 9:49Speaker 1: from Milwaukee al said, kick to the Juevos to the Cubs, Yeah,
- 9:53Speaker 1: new for winning and ruining his parlance.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Well, that's that's even worse. But I hate to tell
- 10:00Speaker 3: you this. You shouldn't be betting the Cubs to lose
- 10:02Speaker 3: right now, and I know you want to, but they're
- 10:05Speaker 3: so hot, true, it's frustrating. Every day you win, You're like,
- 10:08Speaker 3: when are we gonna extend this league? Because you want
- 10:10Speaker 3: to start putting some distance out of this thing and
- 10:12Speaker 3: start winning by half a lap when you're seventy four
- 10:15Speaker 3: and forty four, And.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Maybe that's just not the way it is, and that's fair.
- 10:18Speaker 3: But any other division, the Brewers will be up like
- 10:20Speaker 3: eight to ten to twelve games. Most other divisions, I
- 10:24Speaker 3: would say, maybe not in the NLS, but I guess
- 10:26Speaker 3: against the Braves, but most, but all those teams that
- 10:29Speaker 3: are leading their divisions aren't dealing with the second place
- 10:31Speaker 3: team as we are, like the Cubs are. And the
- 10:34Speaker 3: Cubs are playing well and they keep winning and they
- 10:36Speaker 3: have not stopped this pace, So it's gonna be it's
- 10:40Speaker 3: They're gonna continue to be annoying down the stretch. It
- 10:42Speaker 3: looks like now are they due for a slide? I
- 10:44Speaker 3: hope so. But what you can say is, and I
- 10:47Speaker 3: know you've said in the past. You have to get
- 10:48Speaker 3: the Brewers credit because they've kept them at arm's length,
- 10:51Speaker 3: and the Cubs have had this stretch whatever it is,
- 10:53Speaker 3: and they've only picked up one a game basically from
- 10:56Speaker 3: wherever you put the mark around. So five and a
- 10:58Speaker 3: half game leads still for the Brewers, but it sure
- 11:01Speaker 3: seems like you're having to win every day to keep
- 11:03Speaker 3: a distance with them, you know.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven, nine seven three. Give us your
- 11:09Speaker 1: game balls and kicks if you have them. Smoke him
- 11:12Speaker 1: if you got him. We've been talking a lot today
- 11:14Speaker 1: paying tribute to Don Nelsons. Definitely game ball for him,
- 11:18Speaker 1: just his impact on the city, the Bucks organization, the
- 11:21Speaker 1: NBA in general. Just can't can't stress it enough. This
- 11:26Speaker 1: is one of the really cool characters he I mean, Arman,
- 11:29Speaker 1: I know you're a marquette gey and it was before
- 11:30Speaker 1: your time, but Al McGuire, when he exited the stage
- 11:35Speaker 1: kind of Nelly, became that larger than life character.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Yeah, right, where the coach had the big personality and
- 11:42Speaker 3: was part of the community and was part of the draw.
- 11:45Speaker 3: I mean, you don't see that much where the coach
- 11:46Speaker 3: is part of the draw, and that was Al. Then
- 11:48Speaker 3: Al retires obviously, in seventy seven and then Nelly kind
- 11:51Speaker 3: of rolls right in there, and that was an interesting
- 11:53Speaker 3: you know, it was an exciting time in basketball. The
- 11:55Speaker 3: seventies were in Milwaukee because of what the Bucks did
- 11:58Speaker 3: Marquette and then into the eighties, Bucks for sure best
- 12:01Speaker 3: team in the eighties, and the NBA didn't win a title,
- 12:02Speaker 3: and Nelly was a big part of that. We talked
- 12:04Speaker 3: a lot about in the five o'clock hour drew and
- 12:06Speaker 3: a lot of people weren't up yet, but Don Nelson's
- 12:09Speaker 3: you know, impact on basketball, second winning as coach in
- 12:12Speaker 3: NBA history, I think a lot of people don't realize that.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Plus we talked about the visionary coaching style. He was
- 12:18Speaker 3: of the game, first guy to go inverse, inside out
- 12:21Speaker 3: at the point forward situation. Obviously, talk about Marcus Johnson
- 12:26Speaker 3: and pressing those guys, and the way he was creative
- 12:29Speaker 3: on the basketball floor and so much talent with the
- 12:31Speaker 3: Bucks throughout the eighties and so many winning years. Just
- 12:34Speaker 3: couldn't get past the Sixers and the Celtics and all
- 12:37Speaker 3: those teams, but some great teams.
- 12:39Speaker 2: His last one to eighty seven.
- 12:41Speaker 3: I've talked about the eighty seven Bucks a lot that
- 12:43Speaker 3: was their last year with Nelly and probably their best
- 12:47Speaker 3: shot in the eighties to top of the Celtics when
- 12:49Speaker 3: they were at the top of their power defending NBA champions,
- 12:51Speaker 3: had him on the ropes in the garden in Game seven,
- 12:54Speaker 3: couldn't finish it. Larry and Jerry seeking a sea sting
- 12:57Speaker 3: of all guys got hot and Jerry's son eventually played Marquette,
- 13:00Speaker 3: But don Nelson a great coach. The fish ties was
- 13:04Speaker 3: something everyone loved. You talked about the tractor rides across
- 13:06Speaker 3: the state to support farmers and things like that. So
- 13:10Speaker 3: that was an era of Bucks basketball. That and I
- 13:13Speaker 3: always I talk about how that's a representation and a
- 13:16Speaker 3: definition of how the sports fan culture has changed. How
- 13:19Speaker 3: we're so about ring culture now and ring focused. Where
- 13:23Speaker 3: a guy like Nelly people might have gotten frustrated with
- 13:26Speaker 3: because they didn't take that next step, and people would
- 13:28Speaker 3: have said, you know, in today's NBA would have been
- 13:30Speaker 3: don't you have to fire the coach and try and
- 13:32Speaker 3: make a move and try and get over the top
- 13:34Speaker 3: and back then none of that was a thought, right,
- 13:36Speaker 3: as we've talked about, Yeah, and it was the sports
- 13:39Speaker 3: culture is changing.
- 13:41Speaker 1: You never at the peak of his Powers, Sidney Moncreeve
- 13:44Speaker 1: never like contemplated leaving to go try to chase it
- 13:46Speaker 1: righting it.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Just it just felt like a time when we were
- 13:49Speaker 3: less reactionary and more intelligent as a sports culture to say,
- 13:53Speaker 3: we know these players are good, we know this team
- 13:55Speaker 3: is good, we know this.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Coach is good.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Just because they win fifty six every year and lose
- 13:59Speaker 3: to some of the great teams of all time, the
- 14:01Speaker 3: eighty six Celtics, the eighty three Sixers, the eighty four Celtics, doesn't.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Mean there's anything wrong with this guy and this team.
- 14:07Speaker 3: And I think that we lose that now in the
- 14:09Speaker 3: in the sports fan culture a lot. I can only
- 14:11Speaker 3: imagine what Twitter would have said throughout the eighties when
- 14:14Speaker 3: the Bucks would have won fifty eight games, fifty six
- 14:16Speaker 3: games and then lost to the six Ers, Well we're
- 14:19Speaker 3: never gonna win. Well we're not good enough for that matter.
- 14:21Speaker 3: I always say the same about you and mouths are
- 14:23Speaker 3: playing so many years of the Brewers, two legit Hall
- 14:26Speaker 3: of Fame, superstars, homegrown guys.
- 14:29Speaker 2: We just loved having them, right. We weren't upset every
- 14:31Speaker 2: year that we weren't.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Winning titles with him. It just seems like so much
- 14:35Speaker 3: has changed, Drew. And when I think about Don Nelson
- 14:38Speaker 3: in the Bucks in the eighties, that's what I think
- 14:40Speaker 3: about more than anything, is that is the example the
- 14:42Speaker 3: personification of that. He was a beloved figure and continued
- 14:46Speaker 3: that way and nobody wanted him out ever, you know,
- 14:48Speaker 3: it was like we were.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Like, we have to move on now.
- 14:50Speaker 1: So yeah, there was never that that sense of that's
- 14:54Speaker 1: like I remember being just crushed when they would lose,
- 14:56Speaker 1: especially when they got really close. Yeah, and just couldn't
- 14:59Speaker 1: get over the hum. I mean, they would beat the
- 15:01Speaker 1: Celtics and lose to the Sixers, or beat the Sixers
- 15:04Speaker 1: and lose to the Celtics.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Like just even when he left, Del Harrison was Del
- 15:08Speaker 3: Harris took over, right and Del Harris as teams.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I think Dell did take over.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Yeah, then the Bucks would lose to the Pistons.
- 15:14Speaker 3: And so the Bucks were pretty good throughout that time
- 15:18Speaker 3: until the early you know, until the struggles started in
- 15:20Speaker 3: the nineties. But man, what a what a what a
- 15:24Speaker 3: larger than life figure? Not Yeah, And it's just like
- 15:28Speaker 3: he was so Milwaukee.
- 15:29Speaker 1: It's like he and Al Harvey Keane who I mean,
- 15:33Speaker 1: Harvey Keen was from here, so it was a little different.
- 15:35Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean just they were they were meant
- 15:40Speaker 1: to be in the time in Milwaukee, in the time
- 15:43Speaker 1: that they were, they were in the right place. Great universe, right,
- 15:46Speaker 1: great way the universe put him in the right place
- 15:48Speaker 1: because Al could have been Al would have been Al
- 15:50Speaker 1: no matter where he was, but he was in Marquette. Yeah,
- 15:53Speaker 1: and Nelly and Al lived in Brookfield, raised their kids
- 15:56Speaker 1: in Brookfield, right, so.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing. And I se Don had
- 16:00Speaker 3: a coaching career after the Bucks, but a great one
- 16:03Speaker 3: along great one. But when Al retired, became a broadcaster,
- 16:08Speaker 3: chose to make us home keep his home Milwaukee. That's
- 16:10Speaker 3: because he wanted to be here. So pretty awesome. Yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 3: they're both in Brookfield, Ben said. Also, Cody Clemens PA
- 16:15Speaker 3: plays for the Twins, Roger Clemens son, So there's another one.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Oh yeah, people behind me at the game, he said yesterday,
- 16:20Speaker 3: never heard of Roger. You're not a baseball fan if
- 16:22Speaker 3: you never heard Roger clem now. And I'm not saying
- 16:26Speaker 3: that's that's okay. If you're at the ball game, you
- 16:28Speaker 3: don't have to be an all time baseball fan. You
- 16:30Speaker 3: can just be someone headed to the ballpark, But you
- 16:34Speaker 3: can't tell me you've been anywhere in the baseball stratosphere
- 16:37Speaker 3: and never heard of Roger Clemens. Like now, I don't
- 16:39Speaker 3: think my mom knows who Roger Clemens is, but she
- 16:41Speaker 3: doesn't go to Brooks games either. That just surprises me
- 16:44Speaker 3: to hear that.
- 16:45Speaker 1: If you're a football fan and haven't heard of Joe Montana.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that, right, I mean, that's that's a
- 16:49Speaker 2: great I.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Guess, I guess, I mean, okay, Yeah, Paul.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Knosha wanted to send a game ball to darryl Overstreet
- 16:56Speaker 3: Junior Group for ten touchdowns and nearly five hundred yards
- 17:02Speaker 3: and the CJFL for the Langley Rams in Canada went
- 17:05Speaker 3: to Grays like high school and Gray. I'm assuming he
- 17:07Speaker 3: means Grays like Illinois, Grace like Illinois. A right, there
- 17:09Speaker 3: you go, and I'm sure you have a local connection there.
- 17:11Speaker 3: So that's why maybe we'll see him in the league
- 17:14Speaker 3: one day. I don't know, why not, you never know?
- 17:16Speaker 1: How about a game ball to our buddy, Paul Hanson,
- 17:18Speaker 1: The hunder presidents of Iron Jock got the basics bundle
- 17:24Speaker 1: through this coming week from now through the sixteenth and
- 17:27Speaker 1: buy a short sleeved t shirt perfect for working out
- 17:31Speaker 1: or just looking cool, A pair of boxers and a
- 17:33Speaker 1: pair of crew socks.
- 17:34Speaker 2: It's the starter kit, if you will. They call it
- 17:36Speaker 2: the basics bundle.
- 17:37Speaker 1: I say it's the starter kit because once you try
- 17:39Speaker 1: the gear, you'll be interested in getting a golf shirt,
- 17:41Speaker 1: or some joggers, or a lightweight hoodie or the hoodies
- 17:44Speaker 1: or it's almost hoodie season. But this uh, this workout
- 17:47Speaker 1: bundle the underwear, the shirt and the socks for fifty
- 17:52Speaker 1: seven dollars and fifty cents at ironjoc dot com. Check
- 17:56Speaker 1: them out. Iron Jock, get in the game with iron Jack.
- 18:00Speaker 1: When we come back, Hunter Bombguart joins the party. He's
- 18:03Speaker 1: our baseball go to guy. Brewers with a big trip
- 18:06Speaker 1: to the West Coast. Dodgers are flagging right now. Brewers
- 18:09Speaker 1: need to keep it that way later this week, but
- 18:11Speaker 1: first always tough. When they play the Padres, it's gonna
- 18:15Speaker 1: be interesting because the Brewers.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Be on the road.
- 18:17Speaker 1: It is a good playoff preview for the young Brewers.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I wish Pratt was playing because it's like playoff atmosphere.
- 18:23Speaker 1: You're playing front of huge crowds, highly anticipated matchups. The
- 18:27Speaker 1: fans are gonna come at you in both San Diego
- 18:30Speaker 1: and La You think of laid back Californians, No, not
- 18:33Speaker 1: in this juncture. It's gonna be kind of fun for
- 18:35Speaker 1: the bus. Good test this week, Hunter Bombguart joins us. Next,
- 18:39Speaker 1: you're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Tomguart, who
- 18:54Speaker 1: is our Brewers go to guy, brought to us by
- 18:56Speaker 1: Import Minded.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Good morning, Hunter, Good morning guys. How are you? We're fantastic?
- 19:02Speaker 1: Quite the exciting weekend, Quite the exciting finale. Twins gave
- 19:05Speaker 1: the Burrs everything they could handle this weekend.
- 19:08Speaker 2: For sure.
- 19:08Speaker 4: I mean, this is a team that's fighting for a
- 19:10Speaker 4: playoff spot, is a team that wasn't going to go easy.
- 19:12Speaker 4: It's a talented club that maybe was playing i don't know,
- 19:16Speaker 4: maybe a little under what they maybe could expect or
- 19:19Speaker 4: maybe under their talent earlier in the season, and now
- 19:21Speaker 4: they're coming to I think it's more so they're I mean,
- 19:24Speaker 4: they're about a five hundred team. I don't think they're
- 19:26Speaker 4: a great team by any stretch, but in the American League,
- 19:28Speaker 4: that puts you right in the thicke of things this year,
- 19:31Speaker 4: and right in the thicke of things in the in
- 19:32Speaker 4: the American League Central as well, So they got a
- 19:34Speaker 4: lot to play for. And when you have a lot
- 19:36Speaker 4: to play for and you got a pretty good manager
- 19:39Speaker 4: and Derek Shelton as well, you're going to put up
- 19:41Speaker 4: a fight against a team like the Burrs.
- 19:43Speaker 2: And that's what they did.
- 19:45Speaker 4: The Brewers did a really good job the last couple
- 19:47Speaker 4: of day Saturday and Sunday, just squeaking out a win
- 19:50Speaker 4: anyway they could.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Anyway they could.
- 19:51Speaker 3: And you're right about the Twins because the AL Central,
- 19:54Speaker 3: anyone could win at this point, it might be the Tigers,
- 19:56Speaker 3: which is kind of funny.
- 19:58Speaker 2: The Tigers are making their move now.
- 19:59Speaker 3: But uh, you know, in our division, the way the
- 20:03Speaker 3: Cubs have been going, I was surprised they even drop
- 20:05Speaker 3: one to the Royals. You know, a good thing they did,
- 20:08Speaker 3: but they're keeping the pressure on now. I like to
- 20:10Speaker 3: think Hunter, it gets a little annoying when you're trying
- 20:12Speaker 3: to for me, at least as a Brewers fan, you're
- 20:14Speaker 3: trying to see that separation occur when you're having such
- 20:17Speaker 3: a great year record wise between you and the second
- 20:20Speaker 3: place team. But I like to think that maybe having
- 20:24Speaker 3: to you know, to focus every night to keep the
- 20:27Speaker 3: pressure on to find ways to win that this could
- 20:29Speaker 3: help the Bruers in the long run, you know, get
- 20:31Speaker 3: their their edges sharpened for the postseason.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're they're gonna I feel like they're
- 20:36Speaker 4: gonna have to until maybe the last week of the season.
- 20:39Speaker 4: And yeah, they clinched this year, depending on how close
- 20:41Speaker 4: the Cubs are, and it's gonna be probably a little, uh,
- 20:45Speaker 4: you know, a nip and tuck down the stretch as
- 20:47Speaker 4: far as okay, get you get a game back here,
- 20:49Speaker 4: you lose a game here. Look, the Cubs are a
- 20:52Speaker 4: really good team, and I think they're a team that
- 20:55Speaker 4: if obviously, if the Brewers weren't in the division, they
- 20:58Speaker 4: they'd be, uh, they'd be quite quite ahead of a
- 21:01Speaker 4: lot of American League divisions as well when you look
- 21:04Speaker 4: at how the American League is doing. And so they're
- 21:06Speaker 4: they're a formidable bunch. And just because they're in second
- 21:08Speaker 4: place doesn't mean they're not a threat to not only
- 21:11Speaker 4: the Brewers, but I think the entire n ellen. What
- 21:13Speaker 4: they did at the trade deadline was going try to
- 21:14Speaker 4: bolster some of their pitching. Now, Clay Holmes, who was
- 21:17Speaker 4: a guy that the Brewers were rumored interested in, he
- 21:21Speaker 4: did not have a great start in his first start
- 21:23Speaker 4: with the Chicago Cubs, and that continues the trend of
- 21:27Speaker 4: you know, Casey Mace, Freddy Peralta, you know, these guys
- 21:31Speaker 4: not having good first starts with their new clubs. And
- 21:34Speaker 4: the Birds are going to see a couple of those guys,
- 21:36Speaker 4: Casey Maes and Robbie Ray this week with San Diego
- 21:39Speaker 4: a couple of trade deadline actions. But I tell you
- 21:42Speaker 4: that the Cubs did, you know, what they kind of
- 21:45Speaker 4: needed to do with the trade deadline other than maybe
- 21:47Speaker 4: getting Schoobale, and so they were able to bring a
- 21:50Speaker 4: few pitchers over who I think will help them, especially
- 21:53Speaker 4: with how depleted they've been. And they're just a really
- 21:55Speaker 4: good team top to bottom. But Theres have been better
- 21:58Speaker 4: than them this year and obviously for the last few years,
- 22:01Speaker 4: so that.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Is going to be it's going to be an interesting
- 22:04Speaker 2: race down the stretch.
- 22:05Speaker 4: I think it's going to be maybe a little more
- 22:07Speaker 4: uncomfortable than we would like, especially, like you said, with
- 22:10Speaker 4: the record thirty games over five hundred or the burr
- 22:12Speaker 4: is now best record and ball and when you're seventy
- 22:15Speaker 4: four and forty four, usually you have quite a significant
- 22:17Speaker 4: division lead, not necessarily the case with the Burrs five
- 22:20Speaker 4: and a half, it got down to four and a half,
- 22:22Speaker 4: you know, for a day.
- 22:23Speaker 2: I'm glad it didn't get down to three and a half.
- 22:25Speaker 4: If you if you go, if you're five or you know,
- 22:27Speaker 4: if you're five games or better, if you have a
- 22:31Speaker 4: lead of five games or better, I think you're in
- 22:32Speaker 4: a really good spot.
- 22:33Speaker 2: So just keep it there and look.
- 22:35Speaker 4: As hot as the Cubs have been, they got to
- 22:37Speaker 4: be frustrated too, because man, we're really hot and the
- 22:40Speaker 4: Brewers just keep winning as well.
- 22:41Speaker 3: That's a good way to look at it. I mean
- 22:42Speaker 3: that logic burks both ways. Yeah, yeah, I'm liking it.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Talking to Hunter bomb Guard here our baseball go to
- 22:47Speaker 3: guy Hunter. Are we so jaded?
- 22:50Speaker 1: We're not gushing enough about miss because it was like
- 22:52Speaker 1: a kind of a whole hum miss outing yesterday. Only
- 22:56Speaker 1: nine strikeouts and six innings. I mean, come on, what
- 22:58Speaker 1: are you doing wrong? But it's like he's we become
- 23:01Speaker 1: so immune to it. But he did hit the two
- 23:03Speaker 1: hundred strikeout plateau. What did you think of missus outing yesterday?
- 23:07Speaker 1: And in general, is his like the extended rest they're given,
- 23:11Speaker 1: the extra days and stuff helping hurting.
- 23:14Speaker 2: What are you seeing from.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Miss I think it's helping. I think, yeah, I think
- 23:19Speaker 4: you know, he said, you know, his his legs are
- 23:21Speaker 4: more underneath him now than maybe they were that first
- 23:24Speaker 4: start after the All Star breaks, so I think he's
- 23:26Speaker 4: kind of built back up now. He went seven innings
- 23:29Speaker 4: last weekend against the Angels, and and that was even
- 23:32Speaker 4: you know, he gave up a home run, and it's like,
- 23:34Speaker 4: oh my goodness. You know, the runs against him are
- 23:37Speaker 4: home runs right now, and it makes sense when you're
- 23:39Speaker 4: throwing that hard, if you time it up well, you
- 23:42Speaker 4: might be able to put it out of the park.
- 23:43Speaker 4: And that's kind of what's happening right now. But on
- 23:47Speaker 4: the other hand, you know, he's still very dominant, especially
- 23:50Speaker 4: early in that game.
- 23:51Speaker 2: He had eight strikeouts. They're the first four innings.
- 23:54Speaker 4: You know, his his fastball in that in that first
- 23:58Speaker 4: inning was all the pitches were one hundred and two
- 24:00Speaker 4: point eight miles an hour higher. So he comes out
- 24:03Speaker 4: firing there, you know. And when we talked to him
- 24:06Speaker 4: after the game, he was like, yeah, you know, I
- 24:08Speaker 4: was pitching on another day game and I'm like, so
- 24:10Speaker 4: I asked him, like, does a day game or night
- 24:12Speaker 4: game matter?
- 24:13Speaker 2: Like, do you feel.
- 24:14Speaker 4: Differently and it he didn't really say, like, he didn't
- 24:17Speaker 4: come out and say that he doesn't like pitching day games,
- 24:20Speaker 4: but it feels like he kind of likes pitching night
- 24:22Speaker 4: games better. And I wonder if that's a thing, and
- 24:24Speaker 4: maybe I'll have to do some you know, little investigative
- 24:27Speaker 4: journalism here to see how many pitchers prefer day games
- 24:31Speaker 4: or night games, because he said, you know, if you
- 24:33Speaker 4: have a night game, if you get a bad night asleep,
- 24:35Speaker 4: you can kind of make up for that maybe in
- 24:37Speaker 4: the morning, maybe get some extra sleep or you know,
- 24:40Speaker 4: somehow get some other fuel that way. But he's like,
- 24:42Speaker 4: it kind of gets on you quicker when you pitched
- 24:44Speaker 4: during the day. And so he added that in you know,
- 24:47Speaker 4: his very first answer when we asked him the first
- 24:49Speaker 4: question yesterday was was like, yeah, you know, pitching another
- 24:52Speaker 4: day game. So I do wonder, he said, the adrenaline
- 24:55Speaker 4: is about the same, but I do wonder if you know,
- 24:57Speaker 4: he's he wants to get back to pitching Nike gas
- 25:00Speaker 4: right now. If you have a six man rotation, you're
- 25:02Speaker 4: about pitching on the same day about every week, depending
- 25:05Speaker 4: on your off days and stuff. So that's what he's done.
- 25:08Speaker 4: He's pitched the last couple of Sundays, and so I
- 25:12Speaker 4: know we'll see when he gets back on the night schedule,
- 25:14Speaker 4: so to speak. But it is different. I can believe
- 25:17Speaker 4: it's different. But still miss is going to be miss
- 25:19Speaker 4: and six innings, three runs. It's going to keep you
- 25:21Speaker 4: in a ball game. That's what they did. And how
- 25:23Speaker 4: about the bullpen? The last couple of days has been
- 25:25Speaker 4: just absolutely namite. And look, they're pitching their leverage guys
- 25:29Speaker 4: a lot this San Diego series. With how much McGill
- 25:33Speaker 4: and Rebay and these guys pitch, especially Rebay had to
- 25:36Speaker 4: use I think thirty three pitches yesterday. They're going to
- 25:39Speaker 4: have to be creative in San Diego. And it's going
- 25:42Speaker 4: to be a little tough because they're one man down
- 25:43Speaker 4: in the bullpen right now, because they're going with a
- 25:45Speaker 4: six man rotation. So this is going to be quite
- 25:48Speaker 4: a stretch to try to navigate, not only of course
- 25:50Speaker 4: in the bullpen, but also on the position players side.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough.
- 25:53Speaker 3: They needed to use those leverage arms because of the
- 25:56Speaker 3: close games, but at least they're resulting in wins, right,
- 25:58Speaker 3: I mean, have we talked enough about how incredible. You
- 26:01Speaker 3: know Abner has been I mean McGill, I mean, and
- 26:02Speaker 3: we come to you become used to what these guys
- 26:05Speaker 3: can do. But but you know, there were maybe a
- 26:08Speaker 3: couple of early bumps early in the year, but they've
- 26:10Speaker 3: been so consistent, especially was it twenty one in a
- 26:12Speaker 3: row for your REBA scoreless out, I mean, just incredibly consistent.
- 26:17Speaker 3: I saw the post by the Brewers when you see
- 26:20Speaker 3: these guys, it's too late. I love that one. But
- 26:23Speaker 3: I think you're right. I mean, we haven't talked enough
- 26:25Speaker 3: about these guys.
- 26:27Speaker 2: I know I think so too.
- 26:29Speaker 4: That is with Abner yet twenty one straight games without
- 26:34Speaker 4: allowing a run, and that's about as good as any
- 26:36Speaker 4: reliever can get. I mean, that's when you ask, we
- 26:39Speaker 4: want who do you want is your eighth inning guy? Well,
- 26:41Speaker 4: one guy that doesn't give up a run in twenty
- 26:42Speaker 4: one games is gonna suffight pretty good.
- 26:44Speaker 2: And yesterday he just battled and battled.
- 26:47Speaker 4: He didn't have even close to his best stuff yesterday,
- 26:50Speaker 4: coming off you know, pitching the day before, but he
- 26:52Speaker 4: was able to come in there and somehow somehow wigle
- 26:56Speaker 4: out of that with the bases loaded and just take
- 26:59Speaker 4: a huge of relief. No big celebration for Abner yesterday.
- 27:02Speaker 4: It was more of a sigh of relief after getting
- 27:05Speaker 4: out of that, getting out of that inning. But then
- 27:07Speaker 4: you go to Saturday night and Trevor McGill only needed
- 27:09Speaker 4: four pitches to get the save. Ashby and McGill eighth
- 27:12Speaker 4: and ninth innings on Saturday Night, twelve pitches, twelve strikes
- 27:16Speaker 4: and just dominant performances. Your rebay was thrown out there
- 27:21Speaker 4: in the seventh on Saturday Night, which that's what you're
- 27:22Speaker 4: going to see. Sometimes the matchups are better, and they
- 27:25Speaker 4: wanted Abner against kind of the meat of that order.
- 27:27Speaker 4: Than Ashby came in and then McGill was able to
- 27:29Speaker 4: nail down the safe Saturday night. And then McGill of
- 27:32Speaker 4: course with a really good inning again yesterday in the
- 27:35Speaker 4: ninth inning to keep him in it. And then DL
- 27:37Speaker 4: Hall with maybe the underrated performance of the game yesterday
- 27:40Speaker 4: when you know, obviously Luis Laara gets some attention, Jake
- 27:44Speaker 4: Bowers with the walkoff, hitting the Homer Jackson curio, four
- 27:47Speaker 4: home runs in a week.
- 27:48Speaker 2: What can you say?
- 27:49Speaker 4: But DL Hall getting out of that, that's about the
- 27:51Speaker 4: most emotion I have seen out of DL Hall, and
- 27:54Speaker 4: it just felt like that whole team, it just felt
- 27:57Speaker 4: like that one meant something.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Yesterday to everybody.
- 28:00Speaker 4: And good to see dl Haull coming off that injury,
- 28:02Speaker 4: get out there in a leverage spot and get out
- 28:05Speaker 4: of it.
- 28:05Speaker 2: It's really hard to not let that run score.
- 28:07Speaker 1: In extras, this was was this a five and two
- 28:10Speaker 1: home stand?
- 28:10Speaker 2: Does that sound right?
- 28:13Speaker 1: Five and two homestand and they lost the first game
- 28:15Speaker 1: of both series.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, really good. Yeah, impressive to get bounced back.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
- 28:22Speaker 1: And Hunter, I'm I'm bummed, and I want to ask
- 28:25Speaker 1: you about what the fallout and what's going to happen
- 28:27Speaker 1: with the Pratt injury, because I'm bummed that he's not
- 28:30Speaker 1: playing this week because yeah, I know it's it's August
- 28:33Speaker 1: kind of the dog Gays, But going to San Diego
- 28:35Speaker 1: and LA for me, for young players a little bit
- 28:38Speaker 1: like a playoff preview. The atmospheres in those parks, it's
- 28:41Speaker 1: like playoff games. It's like when crap I say it,
- 28:43Speaker 1: when crappy teams come to Milwaukee, it's like their playoffs
- 28:47Speaker 1: because there's buzz, there's you know, sold out crowds and juice,
- 28:50Speaker 1: and you know, there's it puts a little energy into
- 28:54Speaker 1: the operation as opposed to win. Like the Rockies when
- 28:56Speaker 1: they play at home, ain't no juice and you know,
- 28:58Speaker 1: course field because they know they suck and it's like
- 29:02Speaker 1: they're unless and most people are there to cheer for
- 29:04Speaker 1: the other team. So I'm a little bummed that we
- 29:06Speaker 1: don't get to see Pratt on this stage. What do
- 29:08Speaker 1: we make of his hamstring injury? Like, what do the
- 29:11Speaker 1: Brewers do?
- 29:12Speaker 2: Is there?
- 29:13Speaker 1: I mean they brought up a they brought up a
- 29:15Speaker 1: gentleman we didn't expect on our Bengo card in Bay.
- 29:17Speaker 1: But what are we going to see in this next
- 29:20Speaker 1: week to two weeks while he's out.
- 29:24Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're gonna have to see some shuffling
- 29:26Speaker 4: for sure. Pat Murphy didn't really have a timeline for
- 29:28Speaker 4: us when we asked after the game, because that move
- 29:30Speaker 4: wasn't official until we after We had talked to Pam
- 29:34Speaker 4: Murphy before the game and at that point he was
- 29:36Speaker 4: just getting an MRI.
- 29:37Speaker 2: They were being cautious.
- 29:38Speaker 4: You know, Pratt said he could play, but they wanted
- 29:40Speaker 4: to be cautious and now an I elstont. Obviously you're
- 29:42Speaker 4: not going to risk anything with a young guy like that,
- 29:45Speaker 4: especially if you can get him back in September, et cetera.
- 29:48Speaker 4: I mean, David Hamilton went on the il with the hamstring,
- 29:50Speaker 4: it was a minimum stay for the most part. Quick
- 29:53Speaker 4: a couple of games in Nashville and he was back
- 29:55Speaker 4: up with the Brewers. So hoping that it's similar with
- 29:58Speaker 4: Cooper Pratt that he can be out a short amount
- 30:01Speaker 4: of time. But in the meantime, I think Joey Ortiz
- 30:04Speaker 4: is also a factor into this, obviously with the he's
- 30:08Speaker 4: got some upper back, neck tightness, stiffness things going on,
- 30:12Speaker 4: so he is we'll see. Pat Murphy said he was
- 30:16Speaker 4: unavailable yesterday, so we'll see if he's available today.
- 30:20Speaker 2: And at what point do you decide to go. I
- 30:21Speaker 2: l we'll see what they decide.
- 30:24Speaker 4: I think with the infield as it sits now, you know,
- 30:28Speaker 4: Bay has not I don't believe he's played third base
- 30:32Speaker 4: ever in the majors, and shortstop he hasn't played since
- 30:36Speaker 4: twenty twenty three in the Majors, so it's been a
- 30:38Speaker 4: while at those two positions.
- 30:40Speaker 2: So do you see Bryce Terring in short?
- 30:42Speaker 4: You know, do you see David Hamilton at third And
- 30:44Speaker 4: that's your left side of the infield with Joey Ortiz
- 30:47Speaker 4: is out. If Ortiz is in, it's it makes it
- 30:49Speaker 4: a little easier, obviously, because you want Ortiz in the
- 30:51Speaker 4: lineup over a guy like Bay, So Bay could be
- 30:54Speaker 4: it could be very quick if that's the case, or
- 30:58Speaker 4: if they decide to go with someone in now. I
- 31:00Speaker 4: do wonder if they was kind of the only option
- 31:02Speaker 4: to get here, you know, on time, possibly before the
- 31:05Speaker 4: game yesterday, because they're like, oh my gosh, we're down
- 31:07Speaker 4: to infielders. We need someone to play body out there. Yeah,
- 31:11Speaker 4: So I do wonder that as well. If if that,
- 31:13Speaker 4: if there's a different move coming, but right now the
- 31:17Speaker 4: Bay's the guy, and so is that Does that mean
- 31:21Speaker 4: they throw him out there at a position he's never
- 31:22Speaker 4: played in the majors? At third? Do we see more
- 31:24Speaker 4: of Vaughan at third? It's gonna be it's it's gonna
- 31:27Speaker 4: be mix and match. If Ortiz and Pratt are out,
- 31:29Speaker 4: it's going to be mixing match with Pratt out.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I think it's it's more simple.
- 31:33Speaker 4: I think you put Ortiz at short, you put Hamilton
- 31:35Speaker 4: at third, and you put Terrain at second, and that's
- 31:37Speaker 4: mainly your your your defensive alignment, and then you're able
- 31:40Speaker 4: to to kind of not not really lose anything on
- 31:44Speaker 4: the defensive side and then hopefully Ortiz can keep his.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Hot bat as well. Somewhere, Lewis Reniefel's like, see, you'll
- 31:49Speaker 3: think of me. You needed me say, somewhere.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Britain doing well.
- 31:52Speaker 3: I think he's playing well. I saw him in a
- 31:55Speaker 3: dinger at least for one of those earlier Oh.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and our poor devil is Jet Williams, because every
- 32:00Speaker 1: time there's opening for him to come to Milwauk.
- 32:02Speaker 2: He's hurt.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that. I mean, the irony there, it's
- 32:06Speaker 3: just it's just remarkable. But hey, I mean listen, you
- 32:10Speaker 3: know that's just the way you can come up and
- 32:12Speaker 3: play third. Brock Wilkin Fisher, I mean, how many times
- 32:14Speaker 3: you're gonna hear that right from fans?
- 32:15Speaker 2: Right hunter?
- 32:16Speaker 4: So oh yeah, I mean, well, yeah, Brock Wilkin is
- 32:20Speaker 4: hitting under two hundred uh in the minors this year.
- 32:24Speaker 4: I was looking at Luis Renhefo. He's in San Diego,
- 32:28Speaker 4: by the way. If people were wondering where he is,
- 32:30Speaker 4: we might see, by the way, he's hitting three twenty
- 32:33Speaker 4: four in a San Diego Padres uniform in twenty two games.
- 32:37Speaker 4: I'd say good, twenty.
- 32:38Speaker 3: Four, I'd say good because we're due to get a
- 32:40Speaker 3: slump from him maybe for us, but actually won't happen
- 32:42Speaker 3: against us. Remember one sup On pitching against us when
- 32:45Speaker 3: he left in like modus down again, So I was like, oh,
- 32:48Speaker 3: he'll probably hit like twenty five homers.
- 32:50Speaker 2: This weekend a week against us.
- 32:51Speaker 4: So just the way, fifty one ops eight fifty one
- 32:55Speaker 4: ops for Louise ren Heepho. He had a five thirty
- 32:57Speaker 4: four ops in Milwaukee, so it's it's obviously going better
- 33:00Speaker 4: in San Diego with birds will see him this week
- 33:02Speaker 4: and like you said, maybe, uh, hopefully we don't get
- 33:05Speaker 4: a soupon situation.
- 33:06Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying right exactly.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Anything else we need to know about this week as
- 33:10Speaker 1: it lays out, the Brewers three in San Diego, a
- 33:13Speaker 1: day game on getaway Day, and then the Missus ticket
- 33:16Speaker 1: to the start I think Saturday, which is another day
- 33:19Speaker 1: game in Dodger Stadium, but it's like a four o'clock
- 33:22Speaker 1: start our time, I think or something.
- 33:24Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, so they've got yeah, they'll go h Henderson,
- 33:31Speaker 4: Harrison may gas or no drowing I get it, no
- 33:37Speaker 4: drawing the gas or then yeah, then would be Saturday
- 33:41Speaker 4: in the six man rotation that they're in right now.
- 33:44Speaker 4: You like you like Henderson, Harrison and May against San Diego.
- 33:48Speaker 4: I like those my tonight right here against my Yeah, yep,
- 33:52Speaker 4: my is you got Ray Later in the series, I
- 33:54Speaker 4: think in the finale, you know, the matchup of Dust
- 33:56Speaker 4: and May and Robbie Ray, two guys who are traded
- 33:58Speaker 4: at the deadline. So that'll be the get getaway game
- 34:01Speaker 4: on UH in San Diego on Wednesday.
- 34:05Speaker 2: And one of the cool moments.
- 34:07Speaker 4: Just going back to yesterday for a moment, the Luis
- 34:09Speaker 4: Laara moment yesterday, that second catch.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Obviously, both catches were amazing.
- 34:13Speaker 4: The second catch maybe a little better than the first
- 34:15Speaker 4: and obviously saved the run.
- 34:16Speaker 2: He might have saved the game. But he goes down.
- 34:19Speaker 4: He goes down in pain, and if obviously you saw
- 34:21Speaker 4: the ovation, if you're watching it on TV, it was
- 34:24Speaker 4: just that was a real that was really cool. There's
- 34:27Speaker 4: certain moments throughout the season that you kind of remember,
- 34:30Speaker 4: and that I think is going to be one of
- 34:31Speaker 4: them where he gets up and the crowd just goes
- 34:34Speaker 4: absolutely wild and then he he waves to the crowd
- 34:37Speaker 4: and pumps him up. At more Garrett Mitchell and center
- 34:40Speaker 4: field tells the crowd to hear it a little more.
- 34:44Speaker 2: That was that was really neat.
- 34:45Speaker 4: That was like you kind of saw I think yesterday
- 34:48Speaker 4: you were able to really see the personality of Luis
- 34:50Speaker 4: Lara come out being fired up after that first catch
- 34:53Speaker 4: and then that moment after he goes down and it's
- 34:57Speaker 4: able to get the ball in still and they obviously
- 34:59Speaker 4: able to complete that catch like that is that's quite
- 35:03Speaker 4: a cool moment. And he obviously and you guys had
- 35:06Speaker 4: it in the report earlier, like the way that that
- 35:09Speaker 4: meant how much the fans meant to him in that moment,
- 35:12Speaker 4: Like he has not had necessarily that experience in his
- 35:16Speaker 4: career yet, and now he can kind of realize the
- 35:18Speaker 4: power of Burrs fans, and I think he kind of
- 35:20Speaker 4: realized that and then to follow it up with d
- 35:22Speaker 4: L Haul yesterday, so you know later in that inning
- 35:25Speaker 4: getting out of it and showing the emotion. So, I mean,
- 35:28Speaker 4: one of the most gritty, if not this team wins
- 35:30Speaker 4: a lot of you know, gets a lot of gritty wins.
- 35:32Speaker 4: I think is a good way to describe how they
- 35:33Speaker 4: win ball games. Yesterday may maybe the top of the
- 35:38Speaker 4: you know, the thing that most the win that most
- 35:41Speaker 4: fits that definite it was.
- 35:42Speaker 3: It was the grittiest of the gritty that makes it.
- 35:46Speaker 3: They hit it of the wins and yeah, it was.
- 35:49Speaker 3: It was like, there are those moments to be appreciated.
- 35:51Speaker 3: I love seeing Louis Laura's personality. We saw a little
- 35:54Speaker 3: bit when he first came up, but now he's making
- 35:55Speaker 3: those plays. We love energy like that. So good stuff,
- 35:58Speaker 3: good stuff, good stuff.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Hunter, Thanks for joining us. Appreciate it. And will you
- 36:03Speaker 1: have a Milwaukee's baseball tonight?

- 37:45Speaker 1: Bake story today comes to us dateline arm in Poland.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Oh okay, let's go warsaw maybe what remember.
- 37:52Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago that we saw the guy,
- 37:55Speaker 1: the tourist approaching the the bison and yellowstone and.
- 37:59Speaker 3: You get the idea, Yes, that's one of those blank
- 38:03Speaker 3: around and find out type of things.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Yep.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Well, America, we haven't cornered the market on that because
- 38:08Speaker 1: there's a footage out of Poland where a bison knocked
- 38:12Speaker 1: a tourist to the ground in the Polish forests. It's
- 38:17Speaker 1: very go to the forest for this, not as dramatic,
- 38:21Speaker 1: but it's very reminiscent and the uh this guy in
- 38:25Speaker 1: this case, the tourist intentionally approached the European bison, triggering
- 38:30Speaker 1: a response. He was ultimately rescued by other tours up
- 38:33Speaker 1: the bison was distracted by a moving vehicle.
- 38:37Speaker 3: What are you doing? Is this a point now where
- 38:40Speaker 3: people are just looking to go viral? H We's a
- 38:42Speaker 3: forest in Poland. My favorite force the bison.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Lingered near the man until a passing car distracted it,
- 38:48Speaker 1: allowing him to escape unharmed.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Why do we need to do this? How do we
- 38:54Speaker 2: mess with wildlife? Hey?
- 38:55Speaker 3: Let's you know, it boggles your mind. I don't know, Drew,
- 38:58Speaker 3: other than I don't know. I think some people think
- 39:00Speaker 3: they're gonna be funny or impress people, or they want
- 39:03Speaker 3: the rush. It's like I say the same thing about
- 39:07Speaker 3: you know, I mean, like rock climbing.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Why do we need to do it?
- 39:10Speaker 3: But I really have no explanation for this stuff other
- 39:14Speaker 3: than the guy found out right or almost found out? Yeah,
- 39:17Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just I'm not gonna mess with certain things.
- 39:22Speaker 2: And like large wild animals is one of them.
- 39:25Speaker 1: There are nine hundred buys in roaming free in this forest,
- 39:28Speaker 1: and like you find one and you got to go
- 39:30Speaker 1: up to it and try to get close up close
- 39:32Speaker 1: in personal.
- 39:32Speaker 3: For a picture? Is that there is there a point
- 39:34Speaker 3: to it? Is it for a video? I mean what
- 39:37Speaker 3: is the point?
- 39:38Speaker 2: But hey, Hubris, is what the point? Yes? You got it?
- 39:43Speaker 1: What are we doing? And why do we feel the
- 39:45Speaker 1: need to do it? That's what I want to know, Like,
- 39:47Speaker 1: just you know, anyway.
- 39:48Speaker 2: That's what I'd like to know about it. Yeah, let
- 39:50Speaker 2: the wild life be all right.
