Speaker 1: say Connor, Baby Connor probably was arriving at five. I

1:33
Speaker 2: Call Current dot Com our current electric superhero. Now he's
1:36
Speaker 2: gonna get ready. And it's funny because uh, I think
1:39
Speaker 2: Mariah uh and Coompo mentioned it in her farewell, you.
1:43
Speaker 1: Know, and I don't know.
1:44
Speaker 2: You're trying to get through it all here, you got
1:45
Speaker 2: multiple kids, but that drive home with the newborn is
1:49
Speaker 2: always a white knuckler, different level, dude, different. I always
1:52
Speaker 2: tell people that's when you're an adult. That's when adulthood hits,
1:55
Speaker 2: is when you drive home with your wife a newborn
1:57
Speaker 2: baby from the hospital. And she referenced that driving on
1:59
Speaker 2: Lake Drive drive those kids home from the hospital.
2:01
Speaker 3: I had never had the actual ten and two until
2:04
Speaker 3: I tried my third swing at the driver's test when
2:06
Speaker 3: I was sixteen.
2:08
Speaker 4: There was no way I was messing this one up.
2:10
Speaker 3: And I'm going like twelve under the speed limit down
2:13
Speaker 3: Lake Drive coming back from Columbia Saint Mary's.
2:16
Speaker 4: That was a diicy one. That's a different level of nervousness.
2:20
Speaker 1: Same thing for me, Lars like got the GPS. I'm like,
2:22
Speaker 1: you got me messed up everything. I'm taking the freeway
2:24
Speaker 1: right now. We're going nice and slow. Fog at slow ride,
2:29
Speaker 1: take it easy. I'm not taking any freeways. We're going
2:31
Speaker 1: nice and slow here. So yeah, that's that's a wild one.
2:35
Speaker 3: That was a cool post that she put together, Drew because,
2:38
Speaker 3: like I said, I'm still kind of getting through it
2:40
Speaker 3: because it was long. We're doing the show and it
2:43
Speaker 3: very very well put together. But right at the end,
2:46
Speaker 3: I love this piece. My husband may have left his
2:48
Speaker 3: mark on Milwaukee's history, but Milwaukee will forever be the
2:50
Speaker 3: greatest chapter of our love story.
2:52
Speaker 4: And you do.
2:53
Speaker 3: Remember, you realize that the real stuff in the human
2:55
Speaker 3: side of a lot of this.
2:56
Speaker 2: But then Janis also said, I think to Neon great
3:00
Speaker 2: reporter that he is. He said that, like Mariah met
3:04
Speaker 2: him in Miami and he knew she was gonna be
3:06
Speaker 2: his wife and that so they kind of had a
3:08
Speaker 2: little spark there.
3:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, spark started there and then and then transformed and
3:12
Speaker 3: then they grew their entire family here.
3:14
Speaker 4: I like, I appreciated the conversation with Jim. I thought
3:18
Speaker 4: Pasty was.
3:18
Speaker 3: Phenomenal, by the way, like Jim, Yeah, Jim, a microphone
3:21
Speaker 3: in front of me is still gonna be as good
3:23
Speaker 3: as anybody. But talking about like being scared of change,
3:26
Speaker 3: and that's that's some real stuff. That's something that a
3:28
Speaker 3: lot of people do go through in this moment. But
3:32
Speaker 3: when you start wondering if the grass is always greener.
3:34
Speaker 3: I kind of thought it was interesting to hear him
3:37
Speaker 3: put together in almost like the deadline on his career.
3:41
Speaker 3: He's like, if I'm doing I want to do this
3:42
Speaker 3: for six more years. Man Basically, he's like, thirty seven
3:45
Speaker 3: thirty eight, I want to do twenty years and then
3:47
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be done, and then I'm gonna enjoy the
3:48
Speaker 3: rest of the time with my life. Thirty seven thirty
3:52
Speaker 3: eight used to be a hell of a career. Yeah,
3:53
Speaker 3: now it's like, why are you wrapping up so early?
3:56
Speaker 3: And it seemed it again puts a little bit more
4:00
Speaker 3: I think clarity into what a lot of us thought.
4:01
Speaker 3: He might have a little bit shorter shelf life. He
4:03
Speaker 3: might think his real prime of his career is rolling
4:08
Speaker 3: into the back nine, if not a little closer to think.
4:11
Speaker 2: I just said, Billy with one of those weird anniversary posts,
4:13
Speaker 2: I just saw it was ten years ago today that
4:15
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant signed with the Warriors.
4:18
Speaker 1: That's hard to believe it's been that long. See, it
4:20
Speaker 1: feels like yesterday.
4:21
Speaker 4: At least for me, I thought it was. Yeah, I
4:23
Speaker 4: felt like it was way longer ago.
4:24
Speaker 1: Really, Okay, I felt.
4:26
Speaker 2: It seemed like, Oh, it seems like longer ago to me.
4:28
Speaker 2: All the things that have happened since then and stuff.
4:30
Speaker 2: I guess that's true, but it's about three teams.
4:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're all this is true.
4:36
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
4:36
Speaker 1: It just it felt like to me I would have
4:38
Speaker 1: guessed maybe I would have said seven or six or
4:40
Speaker 1: something like that. But it is wild to think how
4:44
Speaker 1: that And you're right, I mean, we expect careers to
4:46
Speaker 1: be longer now in this league just because everyone's done it.
4:50
Speaker 1: I mean Lebron was the first coming to break that.
4:51
Speaker 1: But they had been changing as we got throughout the
4:54
Speaker 1: two thousands, the guys taking care of their bodies better,
4:56
Speaker 1: becoming more physical specimens.
4:58
Speaker 4: Uh maybe Kobe as well.
5:00
Speaker 1: You know, the reality is the biggest difference is if
5:03
Speaker 1: you go back and look at great players of our
5:05
Speaker 1: youth or you know, maybe a generation before, a lot
5:08
Speaker 1: of them were retiring or not playing as long as
5:11
Speaker 1: you expected. I made that point with the honest we
5:13
Speaker 1: got thirteen years in Milwaukee. That's magic and Larry Lade
5:16
Speaker 1: in their cities, so.
5:18
Speaker 2: Did uh KD when he went there. It was like
5:24
Speaker 2: the year later that Lebron left Cleveland for LA that
5:28
Speaker 2: like it was within it he.
5:29
Speaker 1: Would have played. It was like I felt like it
5:31
Speaker 1: was a domino, like he went and.
5:33
Speaker 3: They played in back to back finals against them, so
5:35
Speaker 3: they got beaten five and then beaten four.
5:39
Speaker 4: So I think he left it.
5:39
Speaker 2: Okay, So two years later and Lebron just wrapped up
5:44
Speaker 2: eight years with the Lakers, which I don't know, does
5:47
Speaker 2: that seem that long or is it?
5:48
Speaker 1: To me?
5:49
Speaker 2: That seems like a a shorter span. His time with
5:52
Speaker 2: the Lakers seems shorter than the time for KD.
5:56
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It doesn't say it ten
5:57
Speaker 1: to eight seems like like way longer.
5:58
Speaker 3: There's a bigger gap in the other mind Melt. There
6:01
Speaker 3: is Lebron's tenure with the Lakers. I believe it's his
6:03
Speaker 3: longest stay with any organization, right, Like he ends up
6:07
Speaker 3: playing with the Caves as long as longer because he
6:09
Speaker 3: goes back because he.
6:10
Speaker 2: Did seven years the first run and went to Miami.
6:14
Speaker 2: It was only in Miami, went four.
6:15
Speaker 3: Only in Miami for four years, two wins, two losses,
6:18
Speaker 3: and then right back to Cleveland for four and four
6:20
Speaker 3: more trips to the finals. Uh, and then goes to
6:24
Speaker 3: LA And there's a lot too. I definitely thought he
6:27
Speaker 3: was going to just retire as a Laker, but it
6:30
Speaker 3: seems like he's going to play multiple more years. Like
6:32
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like he is close Drew to wrapping
6:35
Speaker 3: it up or deciding that this one that he wants
6:37
Speaker 3: to to end all things.
6:40
Speaker 4: And I'd be surprised if he pushes it to two.
6:42
Speaker 2: I think it two is the ceiling for me, for
6:45
Speaker 2: him two more yep, I think I think he might
6:47
Speaker 2: be one and done, depending on what the team he
6:50
Speaker 2: goes to does.
6:51
Speaker 3: Because what is he Because right now he's forty one,
6:53
Speaker 3: he plays two more years, he'll have twenty five years
6:56
Speaker 3: in the NBA.
6:57
Speaker 1: That's wild good round number.
6:58
Speaker 4: That's a round number. That's the cap and it would
7:02
Speaker 4: be done. That's the thing. It would be something no
7:04
Speaker 4: one's ever done.
7:05
Speaker 3: And it would be a cap on one of the
7:07
Speaker 3: greatest careers of all time, if not the greatest, uh
7:11
Speaker 3: you know, counting career and longevity career because he's put
7:14
Speaker 3: so much time in there. It is though cool to
7:18
Speaker 3: witness as somebody that has been a fan of his
7:20
Speaker 3: for a long time. He's forty one years old and
7:22
Speaker 3: people are still talking about what team is he going
7:24
Speaker 3: to go make a title contender? That's amazing. It's like
7:27
Speaker 3: the last thing you would think of when he goes
7:29
Speaker 3: to free agency at forty one is oh, it actually
7:31
Speaker 3: is tipping the scales. But he's still one of the
7:33
Speaker 3: at worst thirty best players in the league exactly like,
7:37
Speaker 3: so that's he's whatever team he ends up rolling onto,
7:40
Speaker 3: and I am definitely selling really hope it ain't the Heat.
7:44
Speaker 3: I really hope it's not the Heat with you, because
7:47
Speaker 3: that I think that would be a nice pairing. But
7:50
Speaker 3: he's getting into the ring chasing version of his career,
7:54
Speaker 3: and I know some people will will put a knock
7:56
Speaker 3: towards it. I just think it's fascinating that he can
7:59
Speaker 3: tip this scales at this day and age, and that
8:01
Speaker 3: whatever team he ends up rolling to is going to
8:04
Speaker 3: leap into the top five into odd time to win
8:07
Speaker 3: the title.
8:07
Speaker 1: And this is where I think, when you really look
8:09
Speaker 1: back at at history, the longevity part being so impressive,
8:13
Speaker 1: I don't think Kareem gets as much credit sometimes as
8:15
Speaker 1: he deserves. And they talk about goats just because Kareem
8:18
Speaker 1: played in a very difficult era to play as long
8:21
Speaker 1: as he did. He was the one guy that bucked
8:23
Speaker 1: that trend that was really good, really great, I should say,
8:27
Speaker 1: for so long because Kareem played till he was forty one.
8:30
Speaker 1: And yeah, he didn't start in the NBA until he
8:32
Speaker 1: was twenty two, but he played, you know, a lot
8:34
Speaker 1: in college, important games, important years in college, and it
8:38
Speaker 1: was just so rare back then for a guy to
8:39
Speaker 1: play that long and the fact that Kareem was doing
8:42
Speaker 1: it throughout his late thirties to the level he did
8:44
Speaker 1: winning championship with the Lakers was so rare. And you know,
8:48
Speaker 1: Lebron's obviously broken the mold in a lot of ways,
8:51
Speaker 1: and a lot more guys are gonna be playing closer
8:53
Speaker 1: to forty now. But when Kareem did that, right, Drew,
8:57
Speaker 1: I was like, nobody did that. That was that was
8:59
Speaker 1: shy and to the Levely plate, I think I think
9:03
Speaker 1: he was top five at MVP when he was like
9:05
Speaker 1: thirty eight or thirty seven. That's just impressive. But it
9:08
Speaker 1: just makes you appreciate that much more because obviously we
9:12
Speaker 1: tall about the cryo cham that you know, the cryo
9:14
Speaker 1: therapy chamber and the nutrition and the travel and how
9:17
Speaker 1: many things are you can do now to help your
9:20
Speaker 1: body and to maintain it. In Korean, you know that
9:23
Speaker 1: air didn't have any of that, So it's just something
9:26
Speaker 1: to look back and appreciate as well.
9:29
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine seven three gets us to
9:32
Speaker 2: the Nicolay Lotta coom talk and text line hunter Bombguart's
9:36
Speaker 2: going to join us about fifteen minutes from right now.
9:39
Speaker 2: Talk about the Brewers uplifting victory, which was a nice little,
9:43
Speaker 2: nice little life preserver, if you will.
9:46
Speaker 4: It was drew. It was a good thing that at
9:47
Speaker 4: least hang the hat on ash today.
9:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean imagine this, imagine being bummed about
9:53
Speaker 2: like David Hamilton going on the injured list our Orthopedic
9:56
Speaker 2: Associates of Wisconsin Injury report. It certainly looks like he's
9:59
Speaker 2: headed for of the isle today. I would think Jet
10:01
Speaker 2: Williams is probably the leading candidate to come up and
10:03
Speaker 2: replace him with a doubleheader today.
10:05
Speaker 4: That would make the most sense.
10:06
Speaker 1: I think your logics might be seeing him make his
10:08
Speaker 1: Brewer's debut.
10:09
Speaker 2: But yeah, Ortho Wisconsin dot Com the website learned about
10:12
Speaker 2: the best care you can find anywhere in the area,
10:15
Speaker 2: world class care right here in our backyard Clinic and
10:17
Speaker 2: Johnson Creek, Pewaukee, Brookfield. Check them out. Ortho Wisconsin dot Com.
10:21
Speaker 2: Doctor Matthew Bong and team took care of my hip.
10:23
Speaker 2: Maybe someday I'll go and get the other one replaced
10:25
Speaker 2: because they did such a good job and it was
10:27
Speaker 2: so wonderful and life changing. So check out Ortho Wisconsin
10:30
Speaker 2: dot com for all your ortheedic needs. If you have
10:33
Speaker 2: a sports injury or one of your youngsters has one too, Yes,
10:38
Speaker 2: go visit Ortho Wisconsin dot com. That win yesterday, Drew,
10:42
Speaker 2: We put the old school first takey question how many
10:47
Speaker 2: wins the Brewers need to get in this eight game
10:50
Speaker 2: stretch to be able to stay in first place past
10:52
Speaker 2: the all start break. But going four and four felt
10:54
Speaker 2: like a good place to be able to be and
10:56
Speaker 2: last night stealing that one, snatching it away with the
11:00
Speaker 2: header here that you're staring down the barrel of you.
11:03
Speaker 2: I almost wondered into the eighth inning if Murph was
11:06
Speaker 2: going to try to roll Patrick again, and if he
11:09
Speaker 2: with the two days two games coming up today, still
11:12
Speaker 2: got to play seven games in six days, if they
11:14
Speaker 2: were going to try to hold back, because now McGill's
11:15
Speaker 2: pitched in what three of the last four games, he's
11:18
Speaker 2: been He's been out there for a number of different days,
11:21
Speaker 2: so I would assume he's fully.
11:22
Speaker 4: Down today at least.
11:25
Speaker 3: And you know, that was another big inning mentioned it
11:28
Speaker 3: with Shane Rowan Patrick being able to eat up that
11:30
Speaker 3: eighth inning was was kind of one of those unsung
11:33
Speaker 3: things to be able to save the pen just a
11:35
Speaker 3: little bit here today after you swipe this, wipe that
11:37
Speaker 3: lead back.
11:37
Speaker 2: Statman Steve has a question on the talking text line
11:40
Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven nine seven three shout out Russell Nicolay.
11:44
Speaker 2: He wants to know since Jannis had mentioned that he
11:47
Speaker 2: might wear number seven and not thirty four. I think
11:49
Speaker 2: that's cool because then thirty four is a Bucks thing. Yeah,
11:51
Speaker 2: I like that too, actually kind of dig it. Maybe
11:55
Speaker 2: he wants to know who are the greatest number sevens
11:56
Speaker 2: in sports? Okay, well, if you have a certain vintage,
11:59
Speaker 2: it's Mickey Mantle and that it's the end of the discussion.
12:01
Speaker 1: Mickey Man number seven, the Mick.
12:03
Speaker 4: I would say what Lway?
12:05
Speaker 1: Maybe in football?
12:06
Speaker 2: I would say Lway in football? Kevin Durant we just.
12:09
Speaker 3: Mentioned, Yeah, Kevin Durant, And I mean the seven is
12:12
Speaker 3: synonymous for us because that means that the foot was
12:14
Speaker 3: on the line, like a lot of his exploits were
12:17
Speaker 3: in that seven. The thirty five was where he's probably
12:19
Speaker 3: even better at. Given where we are in the landscape
12:22
Speaker 3: and what we've been talking about, I think that mister
12:24
Speaker 3: Ronaldo has a claim to be.
12:26
Speaker 4: He'd be in there as well.
12:27
Speaker 1: He's one of the goats obviously, I believe are you
12:29
Speaker 1: putting Roethlisberger and Vic in the discussion.
12:31
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say Vic more than Roethlisberger. Now
12:34
Speaker 3: seven in Pittsburgh is synonymous there. Mike Vic though, was
12:38
Speaker 3: just so insane so early that I see him running
12:43
Speaker 3: in that number seven Atlanta Falcons Jersey so much that
12:47
Speaker 3: one immediately does pop into my mind.
12:49
Speaker 4: Albeit I know he's probably not even in the top ten.
12:52
Speaker 1: Well, he changed the game in a lot of ways,
12:54
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. You talk about sometimes, well,
12:56
Speaker 1: you can't tell the story of this game without so
12:58
Speaker 1: and so. Whatever you feel about Vic, and I don't
13:01
Speaker 1: know if you'd put him as an all time great,
13:03
Speaker 1: but he definitely changed the game. He changed the way
13:05
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are looked at, the way the game has been played.
13:09
Speaker 1: This sounds silly to say, but he was such an
13:11
Speaker 1: impact in Madden that he changed away a lot of
13:14
Speaker 1: people view his career because a lot of kids grew
13:16
Speaker 1: up dominating with him and Madden. And that was so
13:18
Speaker 1: you so that that that's a big thing as well.
13:23
Speaker 1: I mean, you weren't allowed to play with Michael Vick
13:25
Speaker 1: because he was too good.
13:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, for my buddy Tom Hecker, the pride of cut Hay, Wisconsin.
13:31
Speaker 1: I have to say Pete Merrivitch, Yeah, because I can't think,
13:37
Speaker 1: I can't think of many other number sevens. Anthony.
13:40
Speaker 3: I struggled, not again, I struggled not going right to
13:42
Speaker 3: Mickey Mantle. And that's that's the guy. Hell of a
13:45
Speaker 3: test testament to how he was. That we're saying that,
13:48
Speaker 3: what seventy eighty years after he played.
13:50
Speaker 2: Early on America, at least to me, Tiny Archibald, Nate Archibald, that.
13:58
Speaker 3: I can't think of many number sevens in basketball. You
14:00
Speaker 3: throw Lway in there, that's probably a pretty good one.
14:02
Speaker 3: I think that's Randall Cunningham. Good player, very good player. Also,
14:07
Speaker 3: he wore twelve for a while too, or a couple
14:09
Speaker 3: numbers he wore. A couple was seven was when he
14:11
Speaker 3: was with the Vikings.
14:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was kind of a comeback tour.
14:14
Speaker 3: Yeah. A lot of people thought he was done and
14:16
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait, he's
14:18
Speaker 3: that thing. Yeah, I don't love that. And then you
14:20
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer Joe Mauer. All right, rman, what about
14:23
Speaker 3: Joe Mauer? Great player, one of the best, one of
14:26
Speaker 3: the great. Thank you for bringing up Joe Moher's name.
14:28
Speaker 3: Here drew one of the great American athletes in the
14:31
Speaker 3: Midwest of all time, Joe Mauer, because he was an
14:34
Speaker 3: insane football player when he was younger, then all of
14:37
Speaker 3: a sudden just decided that he was going to catch
14:38
Speaker 3: and play baseball. And first ballot Hall of Famer.
14:41
Speaker 1: Right, first ballot, Hall of Famer, first ballot. Yeah, I'll
14:43
Speaker 1: say I came just serving Hall of famers, Jim Hall
14:47
Speaker 1: of Famer does.
14:48
Speaker 4: I'm just like, we're letting this go.
14:49
Speaker 2: And statman Steve as is for great number sevens and
14:51
Speaker 2: the text line is rolling like the stock ticker saying
14:54
Speaker 2: Don Makowski.
14:55
Speaker 1: Of course, the magic Man. I mean, I mean, well,
14:58
Speaker 1: we asked for the greatest. Now it's but now we're
15:01
Speaker 1: talking about our favorite one a couple of years and
15:03
Speaker 1: the magic Man, I don't wise John's boyfriends. And then
15:07
Speaker 1: we have a couple of Don Money shots here like
15:10
Speaker 1: that Kenosha kid uh Don Money great as well.
15:13
Speaker 3: There were a number of Don Mkowski jerseys at the
15:16
Speaker 3: uh Walk Shot Sports Cards UH Card Show last weekend
15:20
Speaker 3: that we were a lot of number seven jersey boy
15:23
Speaker 3: friends and stuff getting they're still wearing them. I didn't
15:25
Speaker 3: see a ton. I didn't see a ton, but there
15:27
Speaker 3: were there were a number of those there were. That
15:30
Speaker 3: was one of the funnier events to see the amount
15:32
Speaker 3: of different jerseys that you would see. I didn't know
15:35
Speaker 3: necessarily that I've seen Ed Cedars signed jersey, but once
15:38
Speaker 3: I saw that bad boy there, you better believe that
15:40
Speaker 3: that bag might be uh being thrown into the bend.
15:42
Speaker 4: We're gonna need that one.
15:43
Speaker 1: When Ed Cedar signs a jersey or an autograph, does
15:46
Speaker 1: he have to like do something special with two hands,
15:49
Speaker 1: like to signify the two hands.
15:50
Speaker 2: WI the Joe DeMaio wave. The foul line introductions always
15:55
Speaker 2: a highlight.
15:56
Speaker 1: Fun fact. Mickey Mantle first came up with number six,
15:58
Speaker 1: isn't that true?
15:59
Speaker 5: True?
16:00
Speaker 1: First gave number six, so and he got sent down
16:02
Speaker 1: and then he wonted number seven because it was the
16:04
Speaker 1: pressure of having to follow. They gave it to him
16:06
Speaker 1: because he was the next one. It was Ruth three,
16:08
Speaker 1: Garrett four, DiMaggio five, and they put the pressure on
16:12
Speaker 1: him with six. And I only liked that or something
16:14
Speaker 1: like it. Some story about that, I think, so checking
16:18
Speaker 1: in fact check me in textalland if I'm wrong, but
16:20
Speaker 1: I believe you War number six.
16:21
Speaker 3: One of my He's one of my definite favorite Milwaukee
16:24
Speaker 3: Bucks did rock that number seven.
16:28
Speaker 1: Very underrated person, so very underted. Yeah, one of the
16:32
Speaker 1: better long term Bucks. Almost saved the Bucks, I would
16:35
Speaker 1: say in uh Toronto in game six, I mean he
16:39
Speaker 1: had a monster game against the Raptors and unfortunate loss
16:42
Speaker 1: in two thousand and.
16:43
Speaker 4: He did everything he could.
16:44
Speaker 1: He did everything he game.
16:46
Speaker 3: He was a He's a hilarious human being too, by
16:48
Speaker 3: the way, I mean, there were not many funnier guys
16:52
Speaker 3: when he came over at twenty two year twenty three
16:53
Speaker 3: years old than Urson Elias. So there was a definite
16:57
Speaker 3: buddy the l field we all know with Giannis Ersa
17:00
Speaker 3: learned a lot about America very very quickly too. He
17:02
Speaker 3: had himself a very fun in doctor indoctrination into America,
17:06
Speaker 3: that's for sure. He got welcomed very well. It was
17:10
Speaker 3: a good, good time to be around one number seven
17:13
Speaker 3: in Sector seven too. After Boget got shipped off, somebody,
17:17
Speaker 3: somebody had to buy that fan section drew because you know,
17:20
Speaker 3: Boget started the squad six and then all of a
17:22
Speaker 3: sudden ur sounds like, well, I guess i'll do it.
17:25
Speaker 3: I guess I'll do it. Yeah, I guess i'll do it.
17:28
Speaker 3: I got I just signed a decent little contract. I'll
17:30
Speaker 3: jump over here. I'll help you guys.
17:31
Speaker 1: I also feel they wanted it to be an overseas
17:33
Speaker 1: guy because that was kind of like the European fan
17:36
Speaker 1: section style for a while that no one else did.
17:38
Speaker 1: And it was of course Boget. He was Australian. Obviously
17:42
Speaker 1: Arsen will do it. It is what we do overseas.
17:45
Speaker 1: You know, we have like a hooligan section, which I loved.
17:49
Speaker 1: I love that energy to the breathas center when it
17:51
Speaker 1: was sorely needed. I don't know how. I mean, that
17:53
Speaker 1: was the whole idea behind it, and you know it worked.
17:56
Speaker 2: Definitely, Yeah, definitely worked. All Right, We've covered more bases.
18:01
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll talk Brewers, Hunter Bombguart's going
18:04
Speaker 2: to join us. What do they do with David Hamilton
18:06
Speaker 2: likely headed for the IL, What does the pitching look like?
18:08
Speaker 2: What are the expectations for miz today, Game one of
18:11
Speaker 2: a double header. This is the hump This is like,
18:14
Speaker 2: it's not Hump Day till tomorrow, but the birds will
18:16
Speaker 2: get over hump playing these two games, and then you
18:19
Speaker 2: can start to think about the finish line.
18:20
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. You can get close a little bit, yep,
18:23
Speaker 3: and then you got it and then you got to
18:24
Speaker 3: grind out. The rest can be a real grinder this weekend.
18:27
Speaker 3: But we will talk to and Janny and Appleton will
18:29
Speaker 3: be there. Come on, Janny, she's gonna help us out
18:31
Speaker 3: get some wins, because otherwise that's place is the house
18:33
Speaker 3: of horrors going into the break absolutely absolutely.
18:36
Speaker 2: Hunter Bombgart joins us live next. You were in the
18:38
Speaker 2: huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
18:41
Speaker 1: I tell you I would never name my child soda.
18:43
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, no, of course I got a great
18:46
Speaker 5: name for Rockets, real original.
18:48
Speaker 1: You want to hear what it is?
18:50
Speaker 5: You ready?
18:51
Speaker 1: Yeah? Plus that sign language seven even Costanza. You're serious.
19:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl,
19:04
Speaker 5: especially girl.
19:05
Speaker 4: Horrible. Well, you don't like the name.
19:09
Speaker 1: It's not a name, it's a number. I know it's
19:12
Speaker 1: making Mantle's number.
19:13
Speaker 3: So not only is it an all around beautiful name,
19:16
Speaker 3: it is also a living tribute.
19:17
Speaker 4: It's awful.
19:18
Speaker 1: I hate it.
19:20
Speaker 4: Well that's the name.
19:21
Speaker 5: Oh no, it is not no child of mine is
19:24
Speaker 5: ever going to be named seven.
19:26
Speaker 4: All right, let's just stay calm here. Don't get all.
19:35
Speaker 2: Huddled up on a Tuesday rebellion, arman. Let's welcome to
19:38
Speaker 2: the party, our baseball go to gy our pal Hunter
19:41
Speaker 2: Bombguard joining us this morning.
19:44
Speaker 1: Good morning, Hunter, Good morning guys.
19:46
Speaker 4: How are you We're ready to watch a double header?
19:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not very often we get one of these,
19:53
Speaker 5: but especially when miz is pitching the first one, it's
19:55
Speaker 5: makes it a little more intriguing, especially on the day
19:58
Speaker 5: game side.
19:59
Speaker 2: Pretty good come back victory for the Brewers last night.
20:01
Speaker 2: One of those character wins. They've had a few of these,
20:06
Speaker 2: no doubt.
20:06
Speaker 5: They have been able to just scratch and claw and
20:09
Speaker 5: get wins when it may look a little bleak at times,
20:12
Speaker 5: especially with how they've been hitting with runners in scoring
20:14
Speaker 5: position over the last couple of weeks, but they're able
20:16
Speaker 5: to just find a way to win. The bullpen has
20:19
Speaker 5: been really exceptional. I mean, you look at the weekend
20:21
Speaker 5: in Arizona, seventeen and two thirds innings they covered, they
20:25
Speaker 5: only allowed two earned runs. It was really good again
20:27
Speaker 5: last night. That bullpen has been really I think the
20:30
Speaker 5: main reason over the last few days that that team
20:33
Speaker 5: has been able to win even some of the games
20:36
Speaker 5: in that Red Series. I think they deserve a lot
20:38
Speaker 5: of credit for a win or two in that series
20:41
Speaker 5: last week too, So it is really I mean, they're
20:45
Speaker 5: working these guys a lot. McGill's now pitched in what
20:47
Speaker 5: four out of the last six days, So you're starting
20:49
Speaker 5: to work these guys more and more, and you hope
20:52
Speaker 5: that that doesn't diminish what they get last night or
20:56
Speaker 5: what they give you on the mount of Chad Patrick,
20:58
Speaker 5: going two innings last night was huge because you don't
21:00
Speaker 5: use ashby, you don't use your rebay. They can be
21:03
Speaker 5: more fresh for today when you're gonna need all hands
21:05
Speaker 5: on deck in a doubleheader, and.
21:06
Speaker 1: You have to stack wins in those situations, right because
21:10
Speaker 1: you know you can. You can go through these you know,
21:12
Speaker 1: issues with the revenues players and go through the grind.
21:15
Speaker 1: But if you can do it while winning that you're
21:17
Speaker 1: really stacking wins when some of the lean times might come.
21:20
Speaker 1: It's no different than just trying to bottle up vegetables
21:23
Speaker 1: of canned vegetables for the winter, right, It's the same situation.
21:27
Speaker 1: And if you can stack wins, well, you know, I
21:29
Speaker 1: mean you're preparing for a possible downtime, if you are
21:33
Speaker 1: going to be struggling with.
21:34
Speaker 3: How many bottles in cases of bottle of water do
21:36
Speaker 3: you buy before a snowstorm.
21:39
Speaker 4: If you're saving up tans throughout the year for the winter.
21:42
Speaker 4: What are we doing on.
21:44
Speaker 1: The frontier during typical times? We do that, you know,
21:47
Speaker 1: right hunter, And this is what they're doing.
21:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, when the when the uh yeah, when the weather
21:53
Speaker 5: gets cold and you don't want to go out in it,
21:56
Speaker 5: if you want to have the cans of corn in
21:58
Speaker 5: the cupboard, and that's what the birds are doing. Last
22:00
Speaker 5: was a can of corn.
22:00
Speaker 4: Win.
22:01
Speaker 5: Thank you, uh, you know, for the for the Milwaukee birds.
22:04
Speaker 5: I'm just.
22:07
Speaker 3: I was well done, well done trying to watch that
22:11
Speaker 3: was that was proud of you for being able to
22:12
Speaker 3: get there. But you you mentioned Patrick and not having
22:15
Speaker 3: to attack the bullpen. I thought there was gonna be
22:17
Speaker 3: a moment in if they could attacked on in the
22:19
Speaker 3: in the ninth I think they definitely would have been
22:22
Speaker 3: uh would have felt like maybe you stretched this thing
22:25
Speaker 3: and try to see if Patrick can finish this thing out.
22:27
Speaker 3: Because we mentioned it today, I would assume you throw
22:30
Speaker 3: miz first because you want to have a full understanding
22:35
Speaker 3: of who's ready to go going into game number two,
22:37
Speaker 3: if indeed that turns a little bullpen esque with with
22:40
Speaker 3: Gasser there, did you have that thought last night, like
22:43
Speaker 3: maybe they're going to try to see if they can
22:44
Speaker 3: run Patrick out here one more time.
22:46
Speaker 5: If they would have tacked on for sure, I mean,
22:49
Speaker 5: every another run would have been huge in that ninth inning. Heck,
22:52
Speaker 5: another one run would have been huge in that four
22:54
Speaker 5: run inning, because every one of those was huge. As
22:57
Speaker 5: far as setting up your bullpen for today, I thought
23:00
Speaker 5: maybe in some world, maybe they do leave Patrick out
23:02
Speaker 5: there and let him try to go three innings, and
23:05
Speaker 5: especially because he was cruising and his last three games
23:07
Speaker 5: coming in had been really good. He had given up
23:09
Speaker 5: a run in five of six outings. But since then
23:12
Speaker 5: he's gone about eight or so innings four games, and
23:14
Speaker 5: he has not allowed to run and he's been really
23:16
Speaker 5: good over his last four games, which is really good news.
23:18
Speaker 5: And I think the other part of that, though, is
23:21
Speaker 5: he only throws two innings last night. He hadn't thrown
23:23
Speaker 5: since Friday. I think I think he could also give
23:26
Speaker 5: you an inning or two today if you don't use
23:28
Speaker 5: him last night in the night so I think it's
23:29
Speaker 5: kind of a you kind of okay, you know what,
23:32
Speaker 5: we could use him for one more inning, but then
23:34
Speaker 5: maybe be burned for tomorrow. And maybe he's meeting today
23:38
Speaker 5: and maybe he's one of our length guys that we
23:40
Speaker 5: could put in for an inning or two today. So
23:42
Speaker 5: that might have been some of the calculus. And of
23:43
Speaker 5: course mcgil's the closer, and he's been lights out, hasn't
23:46
Speaker 5: been scored upon in his last thirteen outings, and he's
23:48
Speaker 5: really been good, like a eaol around one point three
23:52
Speaker 5: over his last like thirty outings. That's really really good.
23:55
Speaker 5: He's been just exactly what the doctor order for the
23:57
Speaker 5: Burgers when it comes to that closer role after those
24:00
Speaker 5: couple of hiccups in April, and he's been a lot better.
24:03
Speaker 5: So I agree it would have been like going into
24:06
Speaker 5: last night's game. I think I said it on the
24:07
Speaker 5: pregame show, like this team needs a blowout, Like this
24:10
Speaker 5: team needs you know, a runaway, you know, nine to
24:13
Speaker 5: three victory at some point here they're just not getting them.
24:16
Speaker 5: They're winning games, but these are all really close games.
24:20
Speaker 4: Winning games.
24:21
Speaker 2: Talking to Hunter Bomber, here are baseball go to guy
24:23
Speaker 2: brought to us by import Minded your Trusted Auto Experts
24:25
Speaker 2: twenty seven three, just north of eight ninety four winning
24:29
Speaker 2: games a blowout. You got to score a lot of
24:32
Speaker 2: runs to do that. It's hard to score a lot
24:33
Speaker 2: of runs when the top of the order isn't producing.
24:35
Speaker 1: Didn't produce last night. And Christian Yellich is starting to
24:37
Speaker 1: catch a lot of.
24:38
Speaker 2: Strays time online from folks because he is the mayor
24:41
Speaker 2: of Slump City right now, hunter, what are you seeing
24:43
Speaker 2: from his at bats? And then you know, people say, well,
24:46
Speaker 2: he still takes his walks, which he does, but well,
24:49
Speaker 2: when he starts hitting the ball the other way with authority,
24:51
Speaker 2: that's when you know he's about to come out of it.
24:52
Speaker 1: You've watched Yelich a long time. What are you seeing?
24:56
Speaker 5: It's just yeah, he just when he's going at the plate,
24:59
Speaker 5: it's just everything seems very smooth. There's not it feels
25:03
Speaker 5: like there's not a ton of swinging. It feels like
25:04
Speaker 5: there's a lot of swinging myths. Right now, it feels
25:07
Speaker 5: like he's just you can see the confidence isn't necessarily there,
25:12
Speaker 5: you know, it's it just it it just doesn't flow,
25:15
Speaker 5: and it seems like it's right now it's just not
25:16
Speaker 5: flowing for him. When Murph was asked about it last
25:18
Speaker 5: homestand he's like, yeah, he's certainly not at his best
25:21
Speaker 5: right now. He's very blunt about it, and I think
25:23
Speaker 5: that's just that that just shows I mean, Murph respects
25:26
Speaker 5: Yelly maybe more than anybody, uh, you know, in that
25:28
Speaker 5: clubhous in the organization. He's been there since Yelly got
25:31
Speaker 5: to Milwaukee, and so I think watching him struggle is
25:34
Speaker 5: tough for Pat Murphy, obviously tough for the Brewers. It's
25:37
Speaker 5: very key to have them there. I don't know how
25:39
Speaker 5: long like. They shifted the lineup a little over the weekend.
25:41
Speaker 5: They pulled him out of the bullydoff spot, they put
25:43
Speaker 5: him at the two spots, put him at the three spot.
25:45
Speaker 5: I thought maybe that would be something maybe you try to,
25:48
Speaker 5: you know, put Terrain up there, Churio up there, depending
25:50
Speaker 5: on who's starting on the mound. Terrain now is a
25:52
Speaker 5: nine game hitting streak, so that's good, and he obviously
25:54
Speaker 5: had the game winning knock last night, so it's good
25:56
Speaker 5: to see him coming around over the last couple of weeks.
25:59
Speaker 5: That's just huge for the offense, especially when Yelich isn't
26:02
Speaker 5: doing well. But I mean, you just look at what
26:04
Speaker 5: he's doing in July. In his five games, he has
26:06
Speaker 5: a zero five to three batting average. You know, you
26:09
Speaker 5: look at where his batting average was, say in mid June,
26:13
Speaker 5: it got all the way up to it got up
26:14
Speaker 5: to two eighty seven on June ninth, and it's currently
26:17
Speaker 5: a two thirty nine for the season. So you're talking
26:20
Speaker 5: less than a month. It's went from two eighty seven
26:23
Speaker 5: to two thirty nine. And it just it just it
26:26
Speaker 5: just does not look good right now. And I as
26:29
Speaker 5: much as you want him in the leanoff spot, I
26:31
Speaker 5: think I don't know if it's best for the team
26:32
Speaker 5: right now. Now, I don't know if it's also best
26:34
Speaker 5: for the team to put him at a two, three
26:36
Speaker 5: or four either, because then it's okay, terrain gets on,
26:39
Speaker 5: you know, is he really a run producing guy right now?
26:41
Speaker 4: Either?
26:42
Speaker 5: I don't know. And then it's like, okay, who do
26:43
Speaker 5: you put in your top four instead? Do you put
26:45
Speaker 5: Garrett Mitchell up there? It's another left he and obviously
26:48
Speaker 5: he's been raking much hotter over the last month or so,
26:51
Speaker 5: and he's been incredibly solid this season as a whole,
26:53
Speaker 5: So maybe that's the switch they go with. At what
26:56
Speaker 5: point do they do that? Is that an after all
26:58
Speaker 5: star brank thing? Do they give him? You know, that week?
27:00
Speaker 5: So there's a lot to be figured out there, but
27:03
Speaker 5: right now it's just not working for him.
27:05
Speaker 3: Is there any chance you I mean now, granted you
27:07
Speaker 3: can't right now because you're in eight games and seven
27:09
Speaker 3: days in the longest stretch that you had. Would there
27:11
Speaker 3: be a way of you just crowbar around a little
27:13
Speaker 3: extended rest right like I mean, I don't know how
27:15
Speaker 3: it plans, how it plays out exactly in time with
27:18
Speaker 3: the injury, but like this, this is a maintenance thing
27:21
Speaker 3: for a guy that's into his thirties and going to
27:24
Speaker 3: hopefully get the best swings in his season at the
27:27
Speaker 3: tail end. Would there be any thought of that, Hunter
27:29
Speaker 3: or is it just he's ready? He's there every day
27:32
Speaker 3: that we're going to go up against a right hander,
27:34
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. In most days against the lefty
27:35
Speaker 3: either way. Because it's a difficult balance. This isn't just
27:40
Speaker 3: any other player. This is the I mean, there's not
27:43
Speaker 3: a sea on his jersey.
27:43
Speaker 4: There could be.
27:44
Speaker 3: He's a captain of the team and he's the main
27:46
Speaker 3: guy that it's a delicate when you ask it, like
27:49
Speaker 3: you put him in the two, three or four hole.
27:51
Speaker 3: You can't just throw him in the seven like I
27:53
Speaker 3: know a lot of people would say, you just toss
27:54
Speaker 3: him down to the bottom of the line of and
27:56
Speaker 3: I'm nine, can't do that with a certain with a
27:58
Speaker 3: certain status, a certain player, because so the room just
28:00
Speaker 3: doesn't read it that same way, right.
28:03
Speaker 5: Right, I would think so, And I think if the
28:05
Speaker 5: All Star Break wasn't coming, I would say, yes, you'll
28:07
Speaker 5: send him for a couple of days, see what happens.
28:09
Speaker 5: But like you said, with the eight games and seven days,
28:12
Speaker 5: with the with the All Star break right around the
28:13
Speaker 5: corner here and just six days away, I don't know
28:16
Speaker 5: if this is a time to do the rest. Maybe
28:18
Speaker 5: you just play it out throughout this week and see
28:20
Speaker 5: what happens, and then maybe, you know, hope that the
28:22
Speaker 5: All Star break kind of turns things around for him
28:24
Speaker 5: and give him that rest. Then, not that he won't
28:26
Speaker 5: get a day. I mean, like today, I wouldn't be
28:28
Speaker 5: surprised if he's only in one of these lineups, like
28:31
Speaker 5: I you know, like if he's I would think that
28:33
Speaker 5: he's gonna play one game today and so you know,
28:36
Speaker 5: you'll see a different kind of iteration maybe in that
28:39
Speaker 5: other game of the lineup, and then maybe I don't know,
28:41
Speaker 5: maybe you give him Thursday too, Like maybe you put
28:44
Speaker 5: in a couple of off days here in these last
28:46
Speaker 5: these last whatever it is, seven games and six days,
28:49
Speaker 5: and then see what happens. But overall, I don't think
28:53
Speaker 5: you're in a position just because of the long period
28:55
Speaker 5: here without an off day, and the All Star break
28:57
Speaker 5: is right around the corner, you say, all right, just
29:00
Speaker 5: get to the finish line here of the metaphorical first half,
29:03
Speaker 5: and then okay, the All Star break is behind us,
29:07
Speaker 5: and let's see how he comes out. And then if
29:09
Speaker 5: he's still struggling, maybe you do say, okay, let's give
29:11
Speaker 5: him a couple of days if that's the case, and you.
29:13
Speaker 1: Can afford to let him kind of work through it
29:14
Speaker 1: now on your lineup because you're able to win anyway,
29:18
Speaker 1: so that that that's helpful. I was hopeful with the
29:20
Speaker 1: home run the other night that that will kind of
29:22
Speaker 1: break him out of it a little bit. He did
29:23
Speaker 1: hit a ball hard the second last night that was
29:26
Speaker 1: really a bullet, but it didn't so, you know, usually
29:29
Speaker 1: I would expect, what do you think Hunter, when he
29:31
Speaker 1: starts to walk a little bit more when he that's
29:33
Speaker 1: when he starts to see the ball better. Do you
29:35
Speaker 1: think that's the first indication will come out of it?
29:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, I it's I would usually, but like you look
29:42
Speaker 5: at his last you look at his last five games,
29:44
Speaker 5: and he's got four walks, so it's it's he's walked
29:48
Speaker 5: in three of those five games, and so it's happening.
29:50
Speaker 5: But he just I don't know. The thing that always
29:53
Speaker 5: concerns me the most when when you watch him at
29:55
Speaker 5: the plate is when he's rolling over to second base consistently.
29:58
Speaker 5: That I mean that, that's that's the talltale sign that
30:01
Speaker 5: like he's just not rolling because he's not driving it.
30:04
Speaker 2: Let's talk hamstrings hunter David Hamilton last night looks like
30:08
Speaker 2: a very likely iye, all stint is Jet Williams?
30:11
Speaker 1: The uh is he the break glass in case of emergency?
30:15
Speaker 1: Is he the guy that gets the call?
30:17
Speaker 5: It would be interesting for sure. I, Well, he's got
30:20
Speaker 5: to get a forty man spot. So like that's that's
30:22
Speaker 5: the interesting part about him being called up. Like and
30:25
Speaker 5: I was looking, I was just before I got on,
30:27
Speaker 5: I was like just combing through that forty man roster,
30:29
Speaker 5: Like what could they do, I mean maybe moving a
30:32
Speaker 5: guy to the sixty day. I don't think they'll do
30:34
Speaker 5: that with Woodroff yet because I don't think you want to.
30:36
Speaker 5: You can't you put a guy in sixty day il
30:38
Speaker 5: right now and he's out till September, so you obviously
30:41
Speaker 5: can't necessarily afford that. I don't know if there's a
30:43
Speaker 5: guy who you guys think is an obvious choice. I
30:45
Speaker 5: mean it's like a kiel Bid is on there, you know,
30:48
Speaker 5: like you know some of those.
30:50
Speaker 3: Is that Lockridge sixty day or is he already on
30:53
Speaker 3: fifty fifteen?
30:54
Speaker 2: Still I think Lockridge is the guy because he's already
30:56
Speaker 2: been out.
30:57
Speaker 5: That's a really good point that I did not.
30:59
Speaker 1: I did not.
31:00
Speaker 5: Time must have skipped over him in my studying here
31:02
Speaker 5: this point. But yeah, that could that could be because
31:05
Speaker 5: he's been Yeah, he's been.
31:06
Speaker 3: He's already been sixty at this point rank and May. Yeah,
31:10
Speaker 3: really you can'll be close. Yeah, so it wouldn't be.
31:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, he got hurt I believe on May eighth, so
31:16
Speaker 5: you see exactly almost exactly. Yeah, So I would think
31:20
Speaker 5: you're right, that would be the guy. Great point. So
31:22
Speaker 5: if that's the case, then yeah, Jetell and look he's
31:24
Speaker 5: he's got a nine game inting streak. He's hitting like
31:26
Speaker 5: three fifty over his last ten games. June wasn't great
31:28
Speaker 5: for him though he hit two o five, but overall,
31:31
Speaker 5: you know, in the last ten games, he's hot, and
31:33
Speaker 5: he may be your only option.
31:35
Speaker 2: With Woodruff shelved and questionable. Obviously Burst were they were
31:40
Speaker 2: in the market probably for a starter before.
31:42
Speaker 1: But one of the things that crossed my mind.
31:44
Speaker 2: And people have been pining for the Freddy Peralta reunion,
31:48
Speaker 2: here's the thing, like with given their abundance of infielder's
31:50
Speaker 2: jet Williams a nice player and having a good season
31:52
Speaker 2: of triple A top one hundred prospect, would you ship
31:55
Speaker 2: him back to New York for Freddy Peralta right now.
31:59
Speaker 4: And just keep Freddie Pitcher? Last night?
32:01
Speaker 2: What can you get half of what you got but
32:03
Speaker 2: four and two thirds last night for Freddy. But he
32:04
Speaker 2: was calling his own game. I was reading will Salmon's piece.
32:07
Speaker 2: He called his own game with the pitch come thing,
32:09
Speaker 2: which he has never done. The Mets have been wanting
32:11
Speaker 2: guys do that. But he called his own game. He
32:12
Speaker 2: got a little bit, he picked picked up like a
32:14
Speaker 2: mile an hour he's had some mechanical difficulties, but having
32:17
Speaker 2: him back with Chris Hook and just the familiarity and
32:19
Speaker 2: just the reliability and if it, you know, want something
32:24
Speaker 2: for him, they should be able to get some for him.
32:25
Speaker 2: But he's not pitching that great. He would be a
32:28
Speaker 2: rental because he's looking at a contract. I don't know, Hunter,
32:31
Speaker 2: is that a pipe dream. I think it's a pipe dream,
32:33
Speaker 2: But it's one of those.
32:34
Speaker 1: It's fun to entertain.
32:36
Speaker 5: It's very fun to entertain and talk about and see
32:39
Speaker 5: if it could be possible. I would love it. I
32:41
Speaker 5: think it would be I think it would be a
32:42
Speaker 5: blast because I do think he'd pitch better and absolutely
32:45
Speaker 5: or I think, like you said, the familiarity of the
32:47
Speaker 5: pitching staff right, the coaching staff as a whole, and
32:51
Speaker 5: obviously spending so many years here, I would think that
32:54
Speaker 5: he'd be better in a Brewer's uniform, not a guarantee obviously,
32:57
Speaker 5: and you don't want to give up the farm for
32:58
Speaker 5: him because it is a right until and he's although
33:01
Speaker 5: he's the worst, he does that that price tag is
33:04
Speaker 5: going down and not necessarily in the brewers range and
33:07
Speaker 5: what they're gonna do. But I do think that it
33:09
Speaker 5: is going down. I I would be intrigued at what
33:13
Speaker 5: it would take to get Freddy Peralta because obviously it
33:15
Speaker 5: wouldn't take at this point, you know, obviously it wouldn't
33:18
Speaker 5: take a sprout. And to Williams not that they do
33:20
Speaker 5: the exact trade then yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:24
Speaker 2: And the great thing about picking up Freddy as opposed
33:26
Speaker 2: to I don't know, schoobl and some other guys. Freddie
33:28
Speaker 2: only makes eight million, so you're on the hook for
33:30
Speaker 2: like three and a half, so it's almost it's like nothing.
33:32
Speaker 2: Maybe have the Mets pay him the rest of this
33:34
Speaker 2: salary and you're getting for free if you throw in
33:37
Speaker 2: another proSP.
33:38
Speaker 3: Go with a little bit better prospect. And I think
33:40
Speaker 3: that's where you're at right now. You have such an
33:41
Speaker 3: abundance that you could you know, I would think more
33:45
Speaker 3: in player capital that way, and hundred then would also
33:48
Speaker 3: allow you to make probably two to three moves, right
33:50
Speaker 3: because Drew and I are also in the same camp,
33:52
Speaker 3: like they need a starter, they need a reliever, and
33:55
Speaker 3: then we'll talk about the offense, right Like, I think
33:57
Speaker 3: that's the spot where the arms right now is definite.
34:00
Speaker 4: And I don't know that you can just get away
34:02
Speaker 4: with one.
34:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, two weeks ago or so, I think I was like,
34:06
Speaker 5: you know what, I reliever for sure, and then we'll
34:09
Speaker 5: see about the rest of the team. I'm starting to
34:10
Speaker 5: get to reliever and starter, and then we'll see about
34:12
Speaker 5: the rest of the team. Because it just with Woodruff
34:15
Speaker 5: coming back and only pitching in three games and that
34:18
Speaker 5: and then going back out with that same issue, I
34:21
Speaker 5: just that worries me and I and like, as much
34:24
Speaker 5: as I want to see him healthy, as much as
34:25
Speaker 5: I thought, you know, and had optimism that he would
34:28
Speaker 5: be healthy, and that, hey, if you only miss him
34:30
Speaker 5: for a month and a half and it's in May
34:31
Speaker 5: and June, so be it. You know, we take that
34:33
Speaker 5: every day and have him for the rest of the year. Well,
34:35
Speaker 5: that didn't quite happen, and now we'll see what the
34:38
Speaker 5: doctor says, we'll see what the long term plan is,
34:40
Speaker 5: because obviously, you know, Pat Murphy said it right after
34:42
Speaker 5: the game that night, like we have to have a
34:44
Speaker 5: we have to have a better plan of how we're
34:46
Speaker 5: going to attack this, and so he doesn't come back
34:48
Speaker 5: and then immediately has to go on the IL three
34:50
Speaker 5: starts in so with that and then knowing you obviously
34:53
Speaker 5: don't have Quinn Priester for the rest of the season.
34:55
Speaker 5: Uh well, hopefully Logan Henderson comes back and is and
34:58
Speaker 5: is really good, but again he's pretty inexperienced overall, and
35:02
Speaker 5: then we'll see what Coleman Crow does also inexperience. So
35:05
Speaker 5: I think you want that type of Freendy Perrault, a
35:08
Speaker 5: veteran guy. It's like he kind of fits the mold
35:10
Speaker 5: there in that rotation. And then for sure a reliever too,
35:13
Speaker 5: you want, especially a leverage guy. Would love one more
35:15
Speaker 5: guy to fit in with Ashby or Rebaye McGill because
35:18
Speaker 5: as much as other guys, you know, Patrick's bitching.
35:20
Speaker 1: Well.
35:20
Speaker 5: We saw some nice innings from Grant Anderson, including an
35:23
Speaker 5: extra innings over the weekend, but you want to have
35:25
Speaker 5: one more guy where you can really trust in that
35:27
Speaker 5: seventh and eighth innings before you get to Miguil and
35:30
Speaker 5: heck can even close out a game sometimes too.
35:32
Speaker 1: Well, listen, let's just make the rain and get Nick
35:34
Speaker 1: Meers back. Then there you go, No thanks, no thanks,
35:38
Speaker 1: I'm good with that.
35:39
Speaker 3: Bryce gonna get added to the All Star Game before
35:41
Speaker 3: we talk to you again on Thursday, Hunter.
35:44
Speaker 5: I think at some point he does. I think he's
35:46
Speaker 5: kind of the next guy. If if the next Brewers
35:50
Speaker 5: player to have the best chance to get in, uh maybe,
35:54
Speaker 5: you know. I know people are talking about Kyle Harrison
35:57
Speaker 5: as well, but I think I think and Jake Bauers,
35:59
Speaker 5: you know, that's another one too, But I do think
36:02
Speaker 5: that he's the next guy, especially played for Team USA.
36:05
Speaker 5: Kind of the popularity there. Look, at the end of
36:07
Speaker 5: the day, it is the game we saw last year
36:10
Speaker 5: with me. It's the game trying to showcase guys that
36:12
Speaker 5: are going to be intriguing. I think Bryce Draing is
36:14
Speaker 5: probably the most intriguing of the Brewers that are left
36:18
Speaker 5: and snubbed.
36:18
Speaker 4: So to speak.
36:19
Speaker 5: So I would be a little bit surprised if he's
36:22
Speaker 5: not added to the roster by the All Star Game.
36:24
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's by Thursday, but I think
36:26
Speaker 5: it's definite. I would think it's probably coming to the
36:29
Speaker 5: next five six.
36:30
Speaker 1: There you go.
36:30
Speaker 2: Hunter is doing double duty today with us and then
36:33

36:39

Speaker 1: Billy, what you got?
37:26
Speaker 3: Well, I got a couple of opportunities, and frankly, the
37:29
Speaker 3: number one awaken Bake story is also all waking up
37:32
Speaker 3: believing that the USA was potentially gonna win the World Cup.
37:35
Speaker 3: We almost been baked at that point because they got
37:37
Speaker 3: absolutely cooked last night for one against Belgium.
37:41
Speaker 4: I'm not eating waffles for a month, but.
37:44
Speaker 3: I drew it's not like an individual story, it's more
37:48
Speaker 3: of just the entire build up to it. I was
37:50
Speaker 3: watching late last night after the USA men's team got duchied.
37:54
Speaker 3: I watched the Brewers get a four to three win
37:57
Speaker 3: come back, and then all of a sudden, I sat
37:59
Speaker 3: down and realized, at the Bucks, we're gonna be taken
38:01
Speaker 3: on Darius A. Cuff Junior and the Sacramento Kings in
38:03
Speaker 3: summer league. All right, sweet, I was just in Vegas.
38:05
Speaker 3: I want, oh, it's not in Vega.
38:08
Speaker 1: California summer.
38:09
Speaker 3: What's the California Classic Summer League? And then all of
38:12
Speaker 3: a sudden, I tap onto another one and it's folks
38:15
Speaker 3: playing at Utah's College gym. I didn't realize, and I thought,
38:20
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I walked right up out of
38:21
Speaker 3: a discoat I didn't realize there were this many summer leagues.
38:24
Speaker 3: So apparently there's still Vegas Summer League, but we're gonna
38:26
Speaker 3: do multiple summer leagues before it. However, I enjoyed my
38:30
Speaker 3: watch last night of the first quarter of Bucks basketball.
38:34
Speaker 3: Braydon Burry's after a day that he signs his first
38:37
Speaker 3: NBA contract, looks like a looks like an NBA player,
38:40
Speaker 3: Like he looks like he'll be at least a solid
38:43
Speaker 3: role player at worst in his debut. But I'll tell you, Drew,
38:47
Speaker 3: I thought I was completely turned around. I had no
38:49
Speaker 3: clue how many summer leagues we had. There used to
38:51
Speaker 3: be an Orlando one if I'm not right, Yeah, And
38:54
Speaker 3: I think they're off the sheet now it's all over
38:56
Speaker 3: the place. And when I'm seeing Darren Peterson playing on
38:59
Speaker 3: the Utah floor or I was, uh, That's when I
39:01
Speaker 3: realized it.
39:02
Speaker 4: Was time for me to turn off and you.
39:03
Speaker 1: And the thing is that Billy doesn't realize it. Nobody
39:05
Speaker 1: does because Billy's as locked in as anybody is to
39:08
Speaker 1: this morning.
39:08
Speaker 4: That's no clue.
39:09
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of with you. I knew Vegas Summer
39:11
Speaker 1: League was the thing, but I've never been someone to
39:14
Speaker 1: plug too deep into Summer League anyway, because I feel like, oh,
39:17
Speaker 1: burrs are going on obviously with a World Cup.
39:19
Speaker 4: I'm glad the uh.
39:20
Speaker 1: I'm glad those that are really into it do watch it,
39:22
Speaker 1: but I don't watch a lot unless I come across
39:25
Speaker 1: it by accident. But I would have never guess California
39:27
Speaker 1: Summer League Billy to your point. So yeah, I have
39:30
Speaker 1: to agree with you on that. One must be like, yeah,
39:32
Speaker 1: what year is this kind of you wicked?
39:34
Speaker 4: I was, I was turned I was turned around. I
39:36
Speaker 4: was not. I was not anticipating that.
39:38
Speaker 3: However, it was dacent last night and the the other
39:41
Speaker 3: waken big story of the day is uh Yiannis. In
39:44
Speaker 3: the midst of the moment that the incredibly well produced
39:47
Speaker 3: thirty six plus minute send off in Farewell to the
39:51
Speaker 3: City of Milwaukee, UH posted with Jim Pashke, he jumped
39:54
Speaker 3: on a Twitch stream with UH something called neon and
39:58
Speaker 3: three neon and Uh. The tougher thing is Drew. He
40:04
Speaker 3: had him eat some great food with porking and not
40:06
Speaker 3: realizing that he was Muslim, and uh, there's there's a
40:10
Speaker 3: look like there was a quick moment. Don't worry about
40:13
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you. There's pork in there.
40:14
Speaker 3: But so listen and we can all move on. But
40:17
Speaker 3: Giannis is still going to be in our hearts. And
40:20
Speaker 3: as Jim Pashk said, mister Jim said yesterday, they'll always
40:23
Speaker 3: love you Yanni always. Everybody here will always love him,
40:26
