- 1:35Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin. It's the huddle on Billy Schmid. That
- 1:38Speaker 1: right there is armand Sarien. You are the Nickolay Ladda.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I'm talk and text line on a where are the
- 1:45Speaker 1: hits and runs? Wednesday? After the Brewers get shut down
- 1:49Speaker 1: yesterday by the New York Metropolitans and uh, someone who
- 1:55Speaker 1: decided that he was gonna have I guess I shouldn't
- 1:57Speaker 1: say a career night because I'm not one thousand percent
- 2:01Speaker 1: familiar with all of Zach Thornton's game. But the twenty
- 2:05Speaker 1: four year old had it Roland last night from Winona, Minnesota.
- 2:08Speaker 1: You would have told me that the Warriors were coming
- 2:10Speaker 1: down here from Wenona State and dominating the crew like that,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and I would have been questioning that one armin. However,
- 2:16Speaker 1: that left hander had it working last night. And as
- 2:19Speaker 1: Pat Murphy said very eloquently last night, you hit the
- 2:22Speaker 1: ball hard. It doesn't much matter if you hit him
- 2:25Speaker 1: right where they are. And also when maman Ewing is
- 2:29Speaker 1: playing left field and cutting down Chris taylor s catches
- 2:32Speaker 1: on the warning track and the one dive where he
- 2:34Speaker 1: smashed his face in, I think that was in the
- 2:37Speaker 1: fourth inning. Some good defense being played by the Mets.
- 2:40Speaker 1: You got tip your cap last night because they found
- 2:42Speaker 1: forty three wins this year in the midst of the
- 2:46Speaker 1: worst year that anybody could have anticipated the New York
- 2:49Speaker 1: Mets would have and sadly, last night the Brewers were
- 2:51Speaker 1: one of them.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of those type of wins, A found win.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I mean, I some days it really is do be
- 2:58Speaker 2: like that or whatever the kids say, I mean something
- 3:00Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, because last night I did feel like
- 3:02Speaker 2: that a little bit. I don't want to sit here
- 3:04Speaker 2: and play sour grapes, but you did.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Feel like the Brewers.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I don't have the analytics to back it up, but
- 3:09Speaker 2: trust me, I tried looking for like fifteen minutes to
- 3:11Speaker 2: find something to defend my argument about expected runs and
- 3:14Speaker 2: shock quality.
- 3:15Speaker 1: And hit Okay, you're gonna go Kenny Atkinson this morning
- 3:18Speaker 1: at five oh three.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I would have liked that, Like, how were the simulated
- 3:21Speaker 2: winners too? Yeah, but I'll be honest. I tried, but
- 3:24Speaker 2: maybe it's out there, but I didn't find it. The
- 3:26Speaker 2: closest thing I could get was I think it was
- 3:28Speaker 2: mclvey that posted the hard hit ball rate or something
- 3:31Speaker 2: that was pretty good, because it did feel like the
- 3:34Speaker 2: Brewers ran into a lot of hard luck last night
- 3:36Speaker 2: in terms of but you know, you don't score at all,
- 3:39Speaker 2: it's hard to really defend it at all. I mean,
- 3:41Speaker 2: the Brewers did a lot of hard balls last night.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Maybe it could have been different, but it wasn't. And
- 3:45Speaker 2: that's baseball. But you know, you do you talk about
- 3:47Speaker 2: Zach Thornton The first thing I do when you get
- 3:51Speaker 2: when you get stymied.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I like the word stymied.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I use it in a little when you get stymied
- 3:56Speaker 2: by a young pitcher like this, or a guy that
- 3:57Speaker 2: you I shouldn't say young pitcher, let's actually say for
- 4:00Speaker 2: what it means, a guy you haven't heard of yet. Okay,
- 4:03Speaker 2: guy you think you haven't heard of yet? You go right,
- 4:05Speaker 2: at least I don't know about you. And this has
- 4:07Speaker 2: probably happened Billy a lot in the recent years. Actually,
- 4:12Speaker 2: I know what has two opponents of the Brewers. They
- 4:15Speaker 2: go right to the internet to see is this guy
- 4:17Speaker 2: legit or not? Like, I don't know about this guy?
- 4:19Speaker 2: Is is he just getting lucky on us tonight? Is
- 4:21Speaker 2: he ever highly lauded as a prospect? Who am I
- 4:25Speaker 2: missing in this conversation? Bask what you're saying? Yeah, basically
- 4:27Speaker 2: gathering information to tell yourself how you should feel about it?
- 4:31Speaker 1: Right, And that's what it is.
- 4:32Speaker 2: You're gathering information and tell yourself how should I feel
- 4:35Speaker 2: about it? And cope with this loss tonight before I
- 4:37Speaker 2: go to bed? Like, should I be angry that they
- 4:39Speaker 2: that they led a guy with a six.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Cra had the night of his life? You know, we
- 4:43Speaker 1: would get that way with sup On, especially after he
- 4:45Speaker 1: left the Brewers, that's fair.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And when he pitched with like the padres to finished
- 4:48Speaker 2: out his career and we knew what he was capable
- 4:51Speaker 2: of or not capable of at least, and we still
- 4:53Speaker 2: couldn't get a hit off him, and it was like
- 4:55Speaker 2: you kidding me, soup On.
- 4:56Speaker 1: But it does seem like this young man, I've only
- 4:58Speaker 1: got his first career win.
- 5:00Speaker 2: It is a promising left in the Mets organization and
- 5:02Speaker 2: does have some pretty good secondary numbers, some good numbers,
- 5:05Speaker 2: albeit not.
- 5:06Speaker 1: A lot of pitching.
- 5:07Speaker 2: But that's why I think probably I said to myself
- 5:10Speaker 2: last night, you know, it was a bummer, like you
- 5:12Speaker 2: lose a game like that to a guy that's you know, young.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Pitcher that had a big night and you couldn't score.
- 5:18Speaker 2: You had some hearted outs, and then he said to yourself,
- 5:20Speaker 2: you know, I bet this is probably what fans of
- 5:23Speaker 2: opposing teams were feeling like most nights against the Brewers
- 5:26Speaker 2: in the last several.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Years, in the last few years, you know what I mean.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So it made me feel a little bit better, thinking,
- 5:31Speaker 2: all right, you know what, this is how it goes.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Sometimes couldn't get it done against the Mets. Plenty of
- 5:36Speaker 2: hard hit balls. As Hunter said, he lost count of
- 5:38Speaker 2: the warning track balls last night. But you lose a
- 5:41Speaker 2: game like that, it happens, you know. July twenty first,
- 5:44Speaker 2: it happens, and it happened for the Brewers last night, and.
- 5:46Speaker 1: It coincides with the largest w that anybody was gonna foresee,
- 5:53Speaker 1: which was just an absolute gobsmacking of fromber Valdez at
- 5:58Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, where he didn't even get out of the
- 6:00Speaker 1: first inning against the Cubs last night. So it's down
- 6:04Speaker 1: to six the lead in the NL Central. That's fine,
- 6:06Speaker 1: it can get back to seven today. The Brewers will
- 6:08Speaker 1: try to go and win the series coming up this
- 6:11Speaker 1: afternoon with the one to ten first pitch against the Mets.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And they've just gotten to a point where you're not
- 6:20Speaker 1: bypassing and I use the term ripping days off the
- 6:23Speaker 1: calendar quite a bit. You're in the meat of the
- 6:26Speaker 1: schedule where you just need to get to the next checkpoint.
- 6:28Speaker 1: It feels like the next checkpoint is going to be
- 6:30Speaker 1: the end of the month, because then there's another one
- 6:34Speaker 1: on August third. General old enough to remember when the
- 6:37Speaker 1: trade deadline was on July thirty first. Anymore. Now we
- 6:40Speaker 1: floated around, we move it around on super special days,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and now it's gonna be on a Monday night at
- 6:45Speaker 1: five o'clock in the afternoon, whatever it ends up being,
- 6:48Speaker 1: and it just it's dumb. It was at two o'clock
- 6:51Speaker 1: and a Wednesday. It used to always to be on
- 6:53Speaker 1: the thirty first. He used to be like Valentine's Day.
- 6:56Speaker 1: It didn't creep up on you. You knew when it was,
- 6:58Speaker 1: you knew the date it was the same year. That's
- 7:00Speaker 1: the easiest kind of holiday to throw in here. Once
- 7:04Speaker 1: you start trying to be fancy Labor Day, Easter, Easter,
- 7:07Speaker 1: come on throwing all these random rules out as to
- 7:10Speaker 1: when it drops down the sweetest day. You really want
- 7:13Speaker 1: people to know when it is. Do it every day
- 7:17Speaker 1: the same time every year. That being said, you see
- 7:22Speaker 1: points at the race that you're running. You hit the
- 7:26Speaker 1: hundred game mark, you had the best record in baseball. Technically,
- 7:29Speaker 1: now you don't again because you handed it back to
- 7:31Speaker 1: the Dodgers. That's fine. These are gonna change night in
- 7:34Speaker 1: and night out, but the process will be the one
- 7:37Speaker 1: that you think of. Last night. Process wasn't bad. We
- 7:40Speaker 1: talked about the hard hit balls Brandon sprote against his
- 7:44Speaker 1: former team. Not necessarily great. I mean, four more walks
- 7:49Speaker 1: for the young man who it appears, and I don't
- 7:54Speaker 1: necessarily know what guarantee they have or what hope they
- 8:00Speaker 1: would put an on top of or ahead of the decision,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and who would be the starter that would move out
- 8:07Speaker 1: of the rotation when because I do think it's going
- 8:10Speaker 1: to be when they go and acquire somebody that fits in.
- 8:14Speaker 1: They've given Brandon Sprote a long time, Oh yeah, giving
- 8:17Speaker 1: him a long time, a lot longer opportunity and runway
- 8:22Speaker 1: than even a Robert Casser has had. Now the numbers
- 8:25Speaker 1: are rather comparable, probably a similar runway than Quinn Priester
- 8:31Speaker 1: was given a year ago. Now, Quinn ended up turning
- 8:33Speaker 1: it around after a certain you know, six or seven
- 8:36Speaker 1: week stretch and then became one of the best guys
- 8:39Speaker 1: that they had in the rotation. But all I'm seeing
- 8:42Speaker 1: Arman is like every chance, when Logan Henderson has come
- 8:46Speaker 1: back off the IL, it hadn't really felt like Sprote
- 8:49Speaker 1: was a guy to potentially lose his rotation spot. But
- 8:53Speaker 1: I wonder if he's You've been able to get a
- 8:56Speaker 1: large amount of development into him eighty six innings. I
- 9:00Speaker 1: think people were projecting him somewhere in the one thirty
- 9:02Speaker 1: one forty. He was built up from the minor leaguettings.
- 9:05Speaker 1: That wasn't gonna be a problem. But at some point
- 9:07Speaker 1: I wonder if he gets bumped out of the rotation
- 9:10Speaker 1: because at this to this point he has been almost teflon.
- 9:15Speaker 1: When that conversation has come around.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Brewers clearly like him and I
- 9:19Speaker 2: and for good reason. I think he has the stuff.
- 9:21Speaker 2: The stuff is there. I think it's really good. They've
- 9:23Speaker 2: kind of invested some well it's like trade equity. They
- 9:25Speaker 2: haven't in him.
- 9:26Speaker 1: But you're right.
- 9:27Speaker 2: I mean, there are certain guys that are gonna be
- 9:29Speaker 2: given leash and given runway as a decision by the
- 9:32Speaker 2: organization to say, we like what you can offer, we
- 9:35Speaker 2: believe in you, so we're gonna give you that chance
- 9:37Speaker 2: more than let's say, I'm sure a Chad Patrick ever
- 9:40Speaker 2: feels like right, Yes, I mean there are times I'm
- 9:42Speaker 2: sure Chad has been like, okay, well I've done better,
- 9:44Speaker 2: but you're not gonna give you this shot. But this
- 9:46Speaker 2: seems to be your you know, chosen one. No, it's
- 9:48Speaker 2: not that dramatic, maybe, but it's broke clearly. You know,
- 9:51Speaker 2: after that trade came over and they said, all right,
- 9:53Speaker 2: we like this guy stuff, we think he can be
- 9:55Speaker 2: a good piece in the future. We got to let
- 9:57Speaker 2: him work through it and get starts and get time.
- 10:00Speaker 2: And you get that a lot with young players in
- 10:02Speaker 2: the position as well, position players as well.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Obviously, you know, comes to mind, Laura, there are certain
- 10:08Speaker 1: guys like that. Now Sprote has had his moments.
- 10:10Speaker 2: I mean he's he's pitched pretty well some nights and
- 10:13Speaker 2: he's started to come around. He showed him improvement. Knight's
- 10:16Speaker 2: been really excited about Sprote. I don't think last night
- 10:18Speaker 2: was one of his worst starts by any stretch. I
- 10:21Speaker 2: think it would have helped if Gary Sanchez didn't blow
- 10:22Speaker 2: all the challenges early.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Yep. I think that might have helped. But there's a
- 10:25Speaker 1: misplay there early on that least some issues.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt ended up with giving up the and
- 10:31Speaker 2: you know it could have been more efficient. That was
- 10:32Speaker 2: probably his biggest issue last night. He was almost through
- 10:34Speaker 2: five scoreless, but it didn't happen like that.
- 10:37Speaker 1: It just didn't.
- 10:37Speaker 2: So for me, every time I see Sproke pitch and
- 10:41Speaker 2: I see this stuff sometimes and I guess I'm always
- 10:45Speaker 2: it always seems like he's doing better than his number
- 10:47Speaker 2: suggests to me, which is probably a decent sign for
- 10:49Speaker 2: a guy.
- 10:50Speaker 1: But it always you know that he's passing eye.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Test, but it's also probably an indication that maybe you
- 10:55Speaker 2: think highly of a guy's potential than what he actually
- 10:58Speaker 2: has given you. Sometimes and sometimes you're right. You have
- 11:00Speaker 2: to look at reality and not what you think reality
- 11:02Speaker 2: should be. It's like, once you get down to the
- 11:05Speaker 2: brass tacks late in the season playoff time, have to
- 11:08Speaker 2: find out, like you said, maybe if someone gets nutsed
- 11:10Speaker 2: out of the rotation, it's gonna be who's actually getting
- 11:13Speaker 2: out for me right now? Because we have to go
- 11:15Speaker 2: win games. We have to go win a world championship
- 11:17Speaker 2: and that's our goal. So it's not like, well, listen,
- 11:19Speaker 2: this guy should have been better. Look at the way
- 11:21Speaker 2: it stuff's moving. This guy should have been Yeah, but
- 11:23Speaker 2: are you getting the outs for me? Chad Patrick? I
- 11:25Speaker 2: love this example because, as you saw, he's the guy.
- 11:29Speaker 2: He would be the one carman that I would have
- 11:31Speaker 2: circle to be like, wow, okay, we've given this guy
- 11:33Speaker 2: a number of different chances. I was a minor league
- 11:35Speaker 2: pitcher of the Year and started a bunch of games
- 11:37Speaker 2: for you last year. Lord knows, I wouldn't have gotten
- 11:39Speaker 2: that kind of a leash. And he was good in
- 11:41Speaker 2: the playoffs, Chad Patrick. Last year, I mean, he became
- 11:43Speaker 2: one of your consistent guys. So we'll see, because obviously
- 11:48Speaker 2: a lot that depends on what the Brewers get in
- 11:50Speaker 2: the trade if they do make a trade for a pitcher,
- 11:52Speaker 2: how health goes things like that, you know, well guys
- 11:56Speaker 2: coming back, and how Harrison pitches. Frankly, I think we're
- 11:59Speaker 2: kind of up in the air with that a little
- 12:00Speaker 2: bit right now. We don't know what to expect from him.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Well, and the availability of miss is a big wild
- 12:05Speaker 1: card in this, Like we know he's going to be available,
- 12:07Speaker 1: but then they said yesterday and they crowbard it around.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I mean, sport's gonna start on four days rest uh
- 12:13Speaker 1: to give and make sure that they can give Misowski
- 12:16Speaker 1: a full week, and you know, understandably so falling on
- 12:20Speaker 1: the sword at some particular point a little bit there,
- 12:23Speaker 1: But like this is again not a damn nation on
- 12:26Speaker 1: I think Brandon sprote stinks and is never going to
- 12:28Speaker 1: You're you're not going to cash in on the investment
- 12:31Speaker 1: or the trade of Paralta. It's not going to hit there.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I agree with you that the stuff is evident, similarly
- 12:40Speaker 1: to like when Manny Para was pitching, good example, because
- 12:44Speaker 1: look at this big hook, look at look at all
- 12:46Speaker 1: the movement in this ball. It's unbelievable. And sometimes it's
- 12:50Speaker 1: just like and you would just hammered over the head
- 12:53Speaker 1: with well, the stuff's really good. This stuff is too good.
- 12:55Speaker 1: This stuff is too good. I'm like, but the results aren't.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Some point I would like to see the fifth inning
- 13:03Speaker 1: and with him walking off instead of walking off and
- 13:07Speaker 1: the manager standing on the bump, and let's trying to
- 13:09Speaker 1: figure out how we're going to get out of the third.
- 13:11Speaker 1: So I'm not out on Sprote long term. I wonder
- 13:16Speaker 1: if they'd be out on him in the in the
- 13:19Speaker 1: near future. But for however, they are crafting the next
- 13:24Speaker 1: But has it ended up being sixty four games? Sixty
- 13:28Speaker 1: five games? The math? That sounds right, Well, they just
- 13:31Speaker 1: hit the one hundred marks. It should be easier math.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It should be sixty games, sixty one games, sixty one
- 13:37Speaker 1: At one point we're going to figure it out. It's early. Sorry,
- 13:39Speaker 1: trying to think of the record. And that was a
- 13:41Speaker 1: tough deal. Sixty eight is that right? That's correct? Yes,
- 13:44Speaker 1: all right, so sixty one sixty one games. Again, it
- 13:47Speaker 1: was easier. It was made a lot easier when I
- 13:50Speaker 1: thought of they hit the hundred game market.
- 13:52Speaker 2: The line of the game, that's how you do math.
- 13:54Speaker 2: I don't know what they're teaching kids differently this day.
- 13:56Speaker 2: But there's new maths now, that's what I'm saying. There's
- 13:58Speaker 2: a new mask.
- 13:58Speaker 1: That's not how we'll learn that coming soon. I did
- 14:00Speaker 1: it how you did. We will probably what is this.
- 14:03Speaker 1: I'm sending it back to the teacher. But you just
- 14:05Speaker 1: you wonder how they're going to get through and what
- 14:12Speaker 1: because they you know they're going to add We're waiting
- 14:15Speaker 1: to figure out who and waiting to figure out to
- 14:17Speaker 1: the to the sheer volume. But you hit it on
- 14:20Speaker 1: the head with the Harrison question. Sounds positive right through
- 14:25Speaker 1: another bullpen. Seems like he's going to go out on
- 14:27Speaker 1: a rehab start maybe next week. But that's still a
- 14:31Speaker 1: huge question because however your best version of you is,
- 14:35Speaker 1: and however you construct it, he's a part of it,
- 14:38Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about having a rotation coming down
- 14:41Speaker 1: the playoff stretch, when you were really feeling yourself four
- 14:44Speaker 1: or five weeks ago. He was one of the main
- 14:47Speaker 1: reasons why.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we were coming off talking about it
- 14:50Speaker 2: in the terms of what Kyle Harrison did, which was
- 14:52Speaker 2: dominate the first half be one of the revelations in
- 14:55Speaker 2: baseball seeing his name being even in some conversation battling
- 15:00Speaker 2: for like Pictures of the Month and things like this.
- 15:02Speaker 1: So I guess that's what that's what I mean is
- 15:04Speaker 1: is this.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Gonna be the Kyle Harrison we've expected, we've come to
- 15:08Speaker 2: expect now after the first few months, which was completely
- 15:12Speaker 2: dominant pitcher and a guy that could be a second
- 15:14Speaker 2: ace in the rotation.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's an exciting prospect.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I think it's it's an idea that maybe we had
- 15:19Speaker 2: to pump the brakes on a bit because maybe it's
- 15:21Speaker 2: not totally realistic to expect him to continue that dominance.
- 15:24Speaker 2: But he'd been doing it for so long, so you're like,
- 15:26Speaker 2: all right, you kind of put that in as a
- 15:28Speaker 2: known quantity. We've got miz, We've got Harrison, We've got
- 15:31Speaker 2: this pair of ases.
- 15:32Speaker 1: You know, we're we're the nineties Braves. Now take shifts.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Let's see where the cards fall.
- 15:38Speaker 2: But who knows what I mean, I mean, I don't
- 15:41Speaker 2: I don't know if we haven't seen enough to trust
- 15:42Speaker 2: and say, hey, he's just gonna come back and dominate.
- 15:44Speaker 2: It's not easy to do, all right. I mean, this
- 15:46Speaker 2: is major League Baseball and we don't know that. So
- 15:48Speaker 2: I think that's a big question there. You're just gonna try.
- 15:50Speaker 1: And we do this every year, at least I do.
- 15:52Speaker 2: We always make the mistake of thinking of playoffs this
- 15:55Speaker 2: time of year rotation as to being like, all right,
- 15:58Speaker 2: we know what to expect, like this is no quantity,
- 16:00Speaker 2: but things are always gonna change until then, and we
- 16:04Speaker 2: will be deploying guys in the playoffs for outs, not
- 16:06Speaker 2: for like, oh, this is your starter, this is your
- 16:08Speaker 2: leiver bu blah blah blah blah. Like you know, it's
- 16:10Speaker 2: not gonna be like that. It's always gonna be you know,
- 16:13Speaker 2: will you have a starter throw out of the bullpen?
- 16:15Speaker 2: Do you need three outs? Do you need two lefties?
- 16:17Speaker 2: Get out in the seventh in Game three? Like it's
- 16:19Speaker 2: gonna be out by out. It's gonna be so, whether
- 16:21Speaker 2: or not it's in a starting role, whether or not
- 16:23Speaker 2: it's broken help, you never know if he can give
- 16:25Speaker 2: you an inning somewhere in the playoffs out of the bullpen,
- 16:28Speaker 2: it's usually piecemeal. If that's what it was, you know,
- 16:31Speaker 2: against the Cubs last year and we're trying to get
- 16:33Speaker 2: out of the first inning.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and well, and that's I was just gonna say
- 16:36Speaker 1: that the biggest game that you played last year before
- 16:38Speaker 1: you got gas lit.
- 16:41Speaker 2: You.
- 16:42Speaker 1: The guy that started for you and was an All
- 16:44Speaker 1: Star starter was the one that's or closed for you,
- 16:46Speaker 1: an All Star closer, was the one that started the
- 16:48Speaker 1: most important game for you. So like you're gonna figure
- 16:51Speaker 1: out how you're going to do it. It's just getting
- 16:53Speaker 1: out in that moment. Yeah, I don't know that I
- 16:56Speaker 1: see playoff roster on Brandon Sprout. However, again, I hope
- 16:59Speaker 1: that I'm wrong. I hope that we continue to get
- 17:01Speaker 1: better throughout the year. We've been waiting for it, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: I think they've been waiting for it, uh for a
- 17:06Speaker 1: long time and planning that it was going to hit
- 17:09Speaker 1: a different level. And maybe it still will. But I
- 17:12Speaker 1: wonder when when the leash kind of runs out from it.
- 17:15Speaker 1: And again, two earned runs is not going to burn you.
- 17:21Speaker 1: It wasn't terrible by any stretch. However, He's made three
- 17:23Speaker 1: starts in the month of July when you've needed to
- 17:26Speaker 1: chew up innings. You've had Miserowski take some time off,
- 17:29Speaker 1: missed go twelve days without a start. Harrison hit the
- 17:32Speaker 1: il obviously, the Woodroff injury. His three starts, four innings,
- 17:36Speaker 1: three innings, four and two thirds. Like that's the biggest issue.
- 17:40Speaker 1: It's not to me what the urn run situation is
- 17:44Speaker 1: or even the whip which is strikingly high during the month,
- 17:48Speaker 1: because there's a lot of walks and there's a decent
- 17:50Speaker 1: amount of hits, But it's the fact that you just
- 17:53Speaker 1: are not getting enough volume and you need you need some. Now,
- 17:57Speaker 1: maybe mccullors is a little bit of a here all
- 18:00Speaker 1: in there, because you point two guys that are gonna
- 18:03Speaker 1: have different roles. He's having a much different role here
- 18:06Speaker 1: than he ever did in Houston coming out of the bullpen.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And I think there's whatever guess you get from that
- 18:14Speaker 1: you have for how Lance McCullers Junior is going to
- 18:17Speaker 1: perform in that moment. I got a lot better feeling
- 18:20Speaker 1: about him than I do Brandon Sprout, and I've only
- 18:22Speaker 1: watched Lance mccullor's throw what fifty pitches with the Brewers.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I'll be a lot more confident with that one than
- 18:28Speaker 1: if indeed, to your point, because I'm talking about getting
- 18:31Speaker 1: to it, give me six outs in the playoffs in
- 18:34Speaker 1: a playoff game, definitely, and I'm sending somebody out there
- 18:37Speaker 1: to go through the fifth and sixth and get me
- 18:40Speaker 1: to the seventh, eighth, and ninth where I'm going ashby
- 18:43Speaker 1: Euribay McGill trying to lock something down. Yeah, he's gonna
- 18:46Speaker 1: tell me that it's gonna be sproad to mccolors. I'm
- 18:48Speaker 1: going mccolors every.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Single He definitely has a track record. I totally get that.
- 18:51Speaker 2: I understand why I do. I just I mean, but
- 18:54Speaker 2: if you're if I'm looking for a guy to throw
- 18:56Speaker 2: heat for one, and it might be I mean, Sprot's
- 18:58Speaker 2: got like ninety eight mile hour four scene, so I
- 19:01Speaker 2: don't know, but I get your point. I mean, it
- 19:03Speaker 2: does feel like he becomes Lance mcculvers once in his
- 19:05Speaker 2: playoff time, and not just Lance mcconnor.
- 19:07Speaker 1: No.
- 19:07Speaker 2: I like that.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I stole that from someone theater somewhere. Now, let's just
- 19:10Speaker 1: hope there's not throwing concrete mixers up there, because to me,
- 19:13Speaker 1: that sounds like a turnball that ain't moving very much,
- 19:15Speaker 1: and I think it's getting parked the Luis Robert homerun
- 19:19Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, is that one of, if not the
- 19:22Speaker 1: longest home run that you can remember seeing an American
- 19:25Speaker 1: family fields. I love this question.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I was I was thinking about because though there we're
- 19:31Speaker 2: talking about the Associated Bank power alley.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yes, that was the Miller light thing. So I'm like,
- 19:35Speaker 1: all right, this is way way high and way far.
- 19:37Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think of like for sorry I
- 19:42Speaker 1: don't mean to cut you off, but like for reference,
- 19:44Speaker 1: because we did talk about that part of the bleachers
- 19:47Speaker 1: yesterday that has now been removed. That's what I'm saying
- 19:50Speaker 1: that IEDs keep changing.
- 19:51Speaker 2: I believe where my man catches that ball, you're not
- 19:55Speaker 2: expecting a.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Homer that in that area, you're definitely not expect that's
- 19:58Speaker 1: a that's a shot. It's like you might have went
- 20:02Speaker 1: over all of the old bleachers. That would have been
- 20:05Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to remember, would have been like
- 20:06Speaker 1: last row of the old bleachers.
- 20:08Speaker 2: I think, yeah, And that's what I'm trying to like.
- 20:10Speaker 2: The tough part is a frame of reference based on
- 20:13Speaker 2: what's still there. Like, okay, so Russell Brandyon hit him
- 20:16Speaker 2: in the dude deck, remember the dude deck? And right,
- 20:18Speaker 2: but is that which is now the Johnsonville Remember the
- 20:24Speaker 2: third deck? So I guess that would have been Johnsonville.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Oh so that's our party deck. That's the party deck.
- 20:28Speaker 2: You said, our party deck.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Well, we've been there, We've been there a couple of
- 20:31Speaker 2: times frequent. Yeah, sure they had that rock climbing all
- 20:35Speaker 2: up there. They had a climbing did have that?
- 20:37Speaker 1: Yeah? That was crazy? Did Armond? Sorry? And never tried
- 20:39Speaker 1: to go up there and time? Hell no, I didn't
- 20:42Speaker 1: do a climbing rock wall. Are you kidding me?
- 20:44Speaker 2: First of all, I'm there to watch the ball game. Also,
- 20:49Speaker 2: well it probably it did cost money. Also, I wasn't
- 20:51Speaker 2: about to do that, Like, I'm not a thrill seeker.
- 20:53Speaker 2: So now the Russell Brandion one, obviously we saw some
- 20:57Speaker 2: in the home run derby, some crazy shots so well,
- 21:00Speaker 2: and now he hit those on real game ones right,
- 21:03Speaker 2: and Branian hit one that would have gone He's where
- 21:07Speaker 2: that little canoe used to be. That's what I'm saying
- 21:09Speaker 2: that Loney's won that little boat.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I think that was over the car, oh, over the
- 21:17Speaker 1: tundra onto like the wall of the outside glass. That
- 21:22Speaker 1: was the craziest homer I remember. I think I might
- 21:24Speaker 1: have been.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It didn't land in the like in the canoe. I
- 21:27Speaker 2: don't know if it bounced off of the canoe. I
- 21:30Speaker 2: don't know if it literally landed in the canoe. But
- 21:31Speaker 2: it was so high and so far it was like
- 21:34Speaker 2: four seventy. I think that Russell's up there for some
- 21:36Speaker 2: of the longest thing. Prince has one, and I think
- 21:39Speaker 2: Branian I believe we'll have the Department of Corrections at
- 21:44Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven nine four nine seven three talking
- 21:46Speaker 2: text line helps out here. I believe it still is
- 21:49Speaker 2: listed the Brandian Homer as the longest in game at
- 21:52Speaker 2: the stadium. That was majestic. I remember you hit a
- 21:55Speaker 2: couple that were crazy, and then there was a home run.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I was at a Brewers Jay's game, now this is
- 22:01Speaker 2: probably eight years ago, maybe nine, and they had a
- 22:04Speaker 2: couple of sluggers and I'm trying to forget. Maybe I'm
- 22:07Speaker 2: gonna go it wasn't Donaldson. I swear he hit Bernie
- 22:10Speaker 2: schla Now I don't think he did Bautista, but it
- 22:12Speaker 2: might have been Bautista. I don't think he hit his power.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 22:17Speaker 1: I remember Beltron hit one, Carlos Beltron. That was nasty.
- 22:20Speaker 1: That I thought was we've seen some people hit it
- 22:23Speaker 1: off the class of the uh of Golf. I had
- 22:27Speaker 1: to make sure they were calling it. Yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Well, at one point, at that point, it was the
- 22:30Speaker 2: three hundred Club, the gael Club, the Gale Club. I mean,
- 22:34Speaker 2: how many times in the Northwestern Mutual Club. I think
- 22:36Speaker 2: it went broad at the scoreboard.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell I took a chunk out of the scoreboard. Scoreboard.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Scoreboard is also very hard to man. You kind of
- 22:43Speaker 1: forget about how deep it is, pause because it's yea
- 22:46Speaker 1: pause because it's dead center right.
- 22:47Speaker 2: So that's the tricky thing about the dude deck is
- 22:49Speaker 2: it's high, but it's also down the line more. That
- 22:53Speaker 2: was a nasty home run though by Robert last night.
- 22:55Speaker 1: I was like, I'm glad this is only worth one.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Bryce Wilson knew it right away too, and Bryce, no thanks,
- 23:03Speaker 1: no thanks. Pully Russell the Mussel, it was four eighty
- 23:07Speaker 1: off of Greg Mannox. That might be right. That was
- 23:10Speaker 1: a sick homer. I mean, we're gonna have to try
- 23:13Speaker 1: to find that high. He had two or three.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I think that one's in the dustbin of like the
- 23:17Speaker 2: many par a getting beat up by Prince History.
- 23:19Speaker 1: No, that would be disappointing. We're gonna we'll try to
- 23:23Speaker 1: figure it out.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Russell had a couple of really really long ones. Now,
- 23:26Speaker 2: Russell the Mussel was a real thing. He had a
- 23:27Speaker 2: stretch one month that one season where he was hitting
- 23:30Speaker 2: him like I swear every day.
- 23:31Speaker 1: That was at one time. I don't remember when, maybe oh.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Nine, eighth, I don't know, oh ten, Almals seven three.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Russell Brandian played for how many Major League Baseball team
- 23:45Speaker 1: Darmen did he have the Matt Stares run like? Fourteen teams?
- 23:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna say seventeen years in Major League Baseball? Seven years?
- 23:52Speaker 1: Seven teams, Cleveland Guardians one, Milwaukee Brewers, what Seattle Mariners?
- 23:58Speaker 1: What Cincinnati Reds, San Diego Padres, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, oh, okay,
- 24:05Speaker 1: Los Angeles Angels of Aannaheim, Okay, the Arizona time in
- 24:09Speaker 1: bass eight, the Saint Louis Cardinals, nine in the Philadelphia Phillies.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I've full ten re returned a couple of times, and
- 24:20Speaker 1: I think it was in Philly a couple of times.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Maybe at the Aerocrat's jersey collection. All his buddies, get one,
- 24:25Speaker 1: got a lot of them, got a lot of them.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Eight seven, seven, seven nine four one nine seven three.
- 24:31Speaker 1: It's hot take hump Day. We got a lot of
- 24:32Speaker 1: hot takes. To be able to deliver it to you.
- 24:34Speaker 1: We'll fire those up around the six o'clock hour. But
- 24:36Speaker 1: five o'clock Clubbers Don't wait Fire years in now at
- 24:40Speaker 1: eight seven seven, seven nine four one nine seven three.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Also on the YouTube stream the Extreme Facebook. You can
- 24:45Speaker 1: get at us in the chat. It's rolling with you,
- 24:47Speaker 1: armand Sarian on the other side of the glass. I'm
- 24:49Speaker 1: Billy Schmid. There is no Jerrolson this week. We're somehow
- 24:52Speaker 1: muddling through. It's not nearly as much fun. Let's just
- 24:56Speaker 1: admit that right away. And show's definitely not as handsome
- 24:59Speaker 1: when Drew's not it. That's true. But we're gonna have
- 25:01Speaker 1: a lot of fun here with you today. I'm the
- 25:03Speaker 1: huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 25:10Speaker 5: So the season and the Brewers fight back as Branions.
- 25:13Speaker 6: In the ninth and he hits one high in the
- 25:16Speaker 6: air take rock Center.
- 25:19Speaker 2: We tied the side.
- 25:25Speaker 1: So here's a bunch of them. This is a this
- 25:28Speaker 1: is a Russell brand you know, run like, how far
- 25:31Speaker 1: will we fight? Number eight for Russell Brandion a two
- 25:40Speaker 1: run shot.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Okay, he had he had a run going in two
- 25:43Speaker 2: thousand and eight where I mean he was There are
- 25:46Speaker 2: just some moonshots on this island.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Really, he reminds me very much of and welcome back.
- 25:51Speaker 1: It's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Don't apologize for that,
- 25:54Speaker 1: Never apologize for getting pumping in some Russell brand and
- 25:57Speaker 1: rustle the muscle into the into the conversation. Adam Dunn
- 26:03Speaker 1: would have been like the gold standard of what I'm
- 26:07Speaker 1: thinking of swing and either hit the ball farther than
- 26:11Speaker 1: anyone's ever seen it or swinging miss catastrophically. That was
- 26:16Speaker 1: that was the wheelhouse for Russell Brandian. But when he connected,
- 26:20Speaker 1: it was some of the sweetest baseball music you're ever
- 26:22Speaker 1: going to see.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Oh, I just there are some guys that are prolific ballplayers,
- 26:26Speaker 2: prolific home run hitters, like you know, Hall of Fame
- 26:29Speaker 2: type guys, all star guys, some guys that are just
- 26:32Speaker 2: known for having great power at certain points, and they're
- 26:35Speaker 2: like Rob Deer I think about for sure. Rob Deal
- 26:38Speaker 2: was never an All Star. I don't think I shouldn't know.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I don't think he was never like a consistent but
- 26:43Speaker 2: like an Adam Dunn, like a three true outcome guy.
- 26:46Speaker 2: You know you're gonna get strike out, home run like
- 26:48Speaker 2: those guys I think of, like the Rob Deers of
- 26:50Speaker 2: the world. Or but when Rob Deer hit the ball,
- 26:54Speaker 2: it was just a bomb. Yeah, like so some guys
- 26:58Speaker 2: have just that raw like Paul Bunyan power else to
- 27:02Speaker 2: think of it.
- 27:03Speaker 1: That we have this Rob Deer might be a perfect
- 27:06Speaker 1: example because he did lead the league in strikeouts four times. Yeah,
- 27:10Speaker 1: like three.
- 27:11Speaker 2: That's like the three true outcome guy that they first
- 27:13Speaker 2: got popular during Moneyball, right, Like I think Adam Done
- 27:16Speaker 2: was very what it is, right and somewhat Ritchie Sexon
- 27:21Speaker 2: had a little bit of that in him. I remember
- 27:23Speaker 2: Sextion hitting, you know, for a decent average though some years,
- 27:26Speaker 2: but like just some guys that you know, just could
- 27:30Speaker 2: just annihilate the ball for power, I mean just had
- 27:33Speaker 2: that eighty row power, you.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Know a little bit.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Gorman was a little bit like that obviously as well
- 27:37Speaker 2: in a different era. But I don't know if Gorman
- 27:39Speaker 2: hit the moonshots like the four hundred I'm talking about
- 27:42Speaker 2: the five hundred foot jobbers or whatever.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Well, and I mean Gorman Thomas also played in an
- 27:47Speaker 1: era where you could hit five hundred foot home runs
- 27:49Speaker 1: because they just did the tracker on the Luis Robert
- 27:52Speaker 1: homer from last night in the Rulers four nothing loss.
- 27:54Speaker 1: This is one of your family and they they ruled
- 27:56Speaker 1: it four point fifty one, and now I know you're
- 28:00Speaker 1: you've got a SIDI for that? Is that what you're
- 28:01Speaker 1: telling me right now? Another one hundred feet? It went
- 28:06Speaker 1: another one hundred feet. The Mickey Mantle one, all right,
- 28:09Speaker 1: that's that's neither here nor there. The Micki Nano one
- 28:11Speaker 1: we know by now it was off the first off.
- 28:14Speaker 1: We need to start going to round numbers. If it's
- 28:18Speaker 1: four fifty one, it's four to fifty like the four nineteen,
- 28:23Speaker 1: there's no home run that angers me more.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Well, you don't want to be cheated on of the
- 28:26Speaker 2: extra foot though, what are you talking about? You give
- 28:29Speaker 2: me the extra foot off the four nineteen soil you
- 28:31Speaker 2: round up to four to twenty.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Oh, thank you. Like there's times where you have to
- 28:34Speaker 1: be able to, like Christian Yellich hit one uh in
- 28:38Speaker 1: in Coors Field a year ago or a couple of
- 28:40Speaker 1: years ago into that third deck again majestic. It's one
- 28:44Speaker 1: of those that you watch the ball and you wonder.
- 28:47Speaker 2: First off, I marvel at how you hit the baseball,
- 28:49Speaker 2: especially when spinning the way it is right now. But
- 28:52Speaker 2: then you're like, damn, yeah, that's got to be one
- 28:54Speaker 2: of the most empowering feelings ever when you hit the
- 28:56Speaker 2: ball into the third deck, you can't even see the
- 28:59Speaker 2: people that are up there and you're hitting a baseball
- 29:01Speaker 2: that far. Instead it was four hundred and ninety fine,
- 29:04Speaker 2: fet We got to change up some of the stat
- 29:06Speaker 2: cast measurements of those. That is one of one of
- 29:09Speaker 2: the things that angers me the absolute most. Our friend
- 29:11Speaker 2: PAULI hit us up on the talking text line or
- 29:14Speaker 2: on the YouTube chat. Part of me also speaking of
- 29:16Speaker 2: long home runs and our family section conversation from yesterday
- 29:21Speaker 2: is moved around by the way Holmers did the old
- 29:23Speaker 2: family site. Where was the family section in the bleachers?
- 29:26Speaker 2: I don't know, because the family section now would I'll
- 29:28Speaker 2: be in follow territory, So I don't know what that.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Maybe he means that third deck I think there was, though,
- 29:33Speaker 1: maybe Whitefield bleachers somewhere. Yeah, dropped a Jason Bay home
- 29:37Speaker 1: run there one time. I was first row and dropped
- 29:40Speaker 1: it right down. It takes a big man to admit
- 29:43Speaker 1: you missed it, and I don't want to hear sit
- 29:45Speaker 1: here and blame you. But sounds very similar to when
- 29:47Speaker 1: I dropped my file ball. My dad will always tell
- 29:50Speaker 1: me the story about what he did. Yeah, So it's
- 29:53Speaker 1: like it's not easy to catch those things in the fly.
- 29:55Speaker 1: They're coming with a lot of momentum. There's only so
- 29:57Speaker 1: many opportunities you get though. Now. I don't know if
- 30:00Speaker 1: you caught the video part of the pun of the
- 30:03Speaker 1: individual in Philadelphia a couple of days ago. Guy had
- 30:08Speaker 1: not one but two home run balls hit right to them.
- 30:13Speaker 1: You can go to uh the there's a there's a
- 30:16Speaker 1: video of it on on on my Twitter feed at
- 30:18Speaker 1: Bilschmid Radio that tweeted it. You got to follow armand
- 30:20Speaker 1: sorry and by the ways, old account, the same old
- 30:24Speaker 1: username that you know and love is there, so you've
- 30:27Speaker 1: been following it for years. However, that got hijacked by
- 30:30Speaker 1: crypto bros who then decided to be watch guys and
- 30:34Speaker 1: then instead didn't watch their back lost the account. I'm sorry,
- 30:39Speaker 1: that's my theory.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Yeah, Eventually they tried to pretend they were me posting
- 30:42Speaker 2: about crypto. Then it got totally changed to some Elon
- 30:47Speaker 2: stuff or whatever. It was. It something wild, and then
- 30:49Speaker 2: then that that God apparently got in trouble, which surprised
- 30:52Speaker 2: me because Elon runs it. But that got in trouble
- 30:54Speaker 2: and that's been totally eliminated now from Twitter but now you're.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Back, which is the most important thing at Armans. Yes,
- 31:01Speaker 1: go follow it right now because and and make sure
- 31:03Speaker 1: you hit notify because otherwise you're you're missing out the
- 31:06Speaker 1: Coles family section back then, says PAULI. Okay, to perfect,
- 31:10Speaker 1: right where the Miller Lite deck is now, there was
- 31:12Speaker 1: there was the coal section. I think it was the
- 31:14Speaker 1: goodwill section at one point that last little small section
- 31:17Speaker 1: got it.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, we use our Cole's cash. You know what
- 31:19Speaker 2: I'm saying, the right way of going about it. Yeah,
- 31:22Speaker 2: now where was where were we going with that? We
- 31:24Speaker 2: were talking about the Twitter account you posted the Twitter video. Yes, yeah,
- 31:28Speaker 2: my man is in a Cooper Dejan Jersey.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Yes, come on now at the Phillies game, one of
- 31:34Speaker 1: the one powers power look and if you see the
- 31:38Speaker 1: first one, the first homer that gets into his mits,
- 31:41Speaker 1: he has he's got two feet down, possession of the ball,
- 31:45Speaker 1: process that the catch is completed. But guy in front, arman,
- 31:49Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta see the video because you got
- 31:51Speaker 1: to make your own ruling and judgment. My man reaches
- 31:54Speaker 1: back to catch the ball with his hat. Now, ball
- 31:58Speaker 1: knocks hat out of said Zach Wheeler. Buddy's jersey hand,
- 32:04Speaker 1: so hats flying, ball is spinning and rotating. Sure goes
- 32:09Speaker 1: a row behind, lands into my man's hands. Dejeane's got
- 32:13Speaker 1: it again, feet down, in bounce, two ft It's over.
- 32:17Speaker 1: That's process is completed in the catch. Old boy in
- 32:21Speaker 1: front says, uh, bro, my hat caught it. That's my ball.
- 32:28Speaker 1: But he didn't have the hat though, didn't have the hat. Well,
- 32:31Speaker 1: he's grabbing the hat, putting the hat on and like
- 32:34Speaker 1: harassing Dejeane for the ball.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Well, this is Philadelphia, right, yeah, okay, oh, it's not
- 32:41Speaker 2: an uncommon situation to happen in Philly.
- 32:45Speaker 1: It will start. We remember last year with the Karen
- 32:47Speaker 1: that took the ball from the kid. That's this is Philadelphia.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and a man gives it up. It gives up
- 32:54Speaker 2: the home run ball that he ended up catching. Yes,
- 32:57Speaker 2: your hat slowed the momentum. I apologize for inertia. The
- 33:02Speaker 2: ball's in my hand. Possessions nine tenths of the law,
- 33:05Speaker 2: isn't it, I think.
- 33:07Speaker 1: But you don't have possession.
- 33:08Speaker 2: But then he hands it back. You know he had possession.
- 33:11Speaker 2: He was holding the baseball. That's my ball, my hat
- 33:14Speaker 2: caught it. I'm taking it and rips it out of
- 33:16Speaker 2: his hand. The guy with the hat didn't have possession. Yeah,
- 33:19Speaker 2: so does he also that I guess that means he
- 33:20Speaker 2: also has that guy's hat. That so you could come
- 33:23Speaker 2: back with and probably could have. Not only do you
- 33:25Speaker 2: not have the ball, I have your hat now and
- 33:27Speaker 2: put it on and then you can really start. He
- 33:28Speaker 2: might have been a business decision where he didn't want
- 33:30Speaker 2: to start a fight or he didn't want to smoke Billy.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Then two innings.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Later, home run ball goes right back to him and
- 33:36Speaker 2: that one skips clean off the Mets.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Clean drop.
- 33:41Speaker 2: No, Dejeane dropped the other one, Buddy, and the wheeler
- 33:46Speaker 2: Jersey drops the first one, steals it back from Dejeene.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Dejeane gets another home run ball in his mits drops
- 33:57Speaker 2: that one, somebody else grabs it.
- 33:59Speaker 1: So maybe he was the first one. Then that's what
- 34:01Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. And he walked away with none.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to stand on business. I know, and
- 34:09Speaker 1: I know there's that very very famous clip of no
- 34:12Speaker 1: fighting in the bleachers. That might have been a time
- 34:14Speaker 1: to scrap. That might have been a time when you're
- 34:16Speaker 1: trying to grab my ball, no pause. Then I might
- 34:19Speaker 1: have had to call the usher over, and we would
- 34:21Speaker 1: have had to have a settle. There's no fighting in
- 34:23Speaker 1: the bleachers. What are you doing? It took the baseball.
- 34:26Speaker 2: I taught it.
- 34:26Speaker 1: There's no drinking beer in the family section.
- 34:30Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean you you do. You do
- 34:31Speaker 2: have the ball and the other guy's hat. What do
- 34:33Speaker 2: you have to get the guys at back right? Well, no,
- 34:36Speaker 2: the hat's playing on the ground. Yes, he grabs the
- 34:39Speaker 2: hats in the middle of it, grabbing the hat. He's like, hey, dude,
- 34:42Speaker 2: that's mine, and the guy's like, well I caught it.
- 34:46Speaker 1: No, it's mine. One swiped it out of his hand,
- 34:48Speaker 1: the tough one. That's one courts would litigate over. Oh,
- 34:52Speaker 1: it would have been fun.
- 34:52Speaker 2: I think.
- 34:53Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You got to see the video
- 34:55Speaker 1: to make your own determination. But again I'm saying, like
- 34:58Speaker 1: in bounds, it's like to me, it's like a touchdown.
- 35:01Speaker 1: You have two feet in, you have possession. It's over,
- 35:03Speaker 1: plays done, you can't rip it out after eight seven
- 35:06Speaker 1: seven three.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Just looking over the top ten home run list, we'll
- 35:10Speaker 2: get to this Billy the top ten longest in Miller
- 35:13Speaker 2: Park and American family field history. Beautiful. We'll get some
- 35:17Speaker 2: updates on that. On the other side, right after we
- 35:19Speaker 2: hear from our friend Hunter Bombguard. Hunter b on air
- 35:21Speaker 2: was at the game last night. He's got a breakdown
- 35:24Speaker 2: of everything you missed of the four Nothing l the Mets, Steiny,
- 35:29Speaker 2: the Brewers was Portland because of Zach Thornton, he was
- 35:33Speaker 2: a foreign in the side of the crew. They go
- 35:35Speaker 2: after the series win today at one ten, Hunter Bombguard's
- 35:37Speaker 2: got all the details. On the other side, we got
- 35:39Speaker 2: hot takes to hump in about twenty minutes. Fox Sports
- 35:41Speaker 2: Radio is contin armand Sarian's right there on Billy Schmid
- 35:44Speaker 2: huddle up with us eight seven seven seven nine four
- 35:47Speaker 2: seven three.
- 35:51Speaker 6: The park who hit the longest home run during the
- 35:54Speaker 6: history of this beautiful facility. He's in the lineup today.
- 36:00Speaker 6: I'd be who you're thinking. Russell Brannan did it, and
- 36:04Speaker 6: we have video proof. Take you back to four all
- 36:07Speaker 6: Rick Maddocks and it was a monster shot Russell Branyan.
- 36:18Speaker 6: That covers a much of a surprise the way that
- 36:20Speaker 6: guy can hit him.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Just the man who's gonna be able to hit him
- 36:23Speaker 1: enough my home mine he can hacken. So a throwback
- 36:31Speaker 1: that courtesy of I'm gonna guess Fox Sports Wisconsin at
- 36:35Speaker 1: that point, maybe Fox Sports North at that point it
- 36:38Speaker 1: was Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder currently of Brewers TV.
- 36:42Speaker 1: We'll give the credit there as well, because those guys
- 36:45Speaker 1: deserve a lot of credit and a lot of love
- 36:47Speaker 1: and a lot of praise. Absolutely. Now, how did you
- 36:49Speaker 1: find that for the four hundred and eighty foot shot?
- 36:52Speaker 1: Now that is the longest home run in a game
- 36:55Speaker 1: still registered at American Family Field.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Ozuna has one that's for seventy nine. Apparently was just
- 37:01Speaker 2: underneath it. I want the our guy to have it. Sure,
- 37:03Speaker 2: I like that, So, you know, yeah, I had to
- 37:05Speaker 2: find the Russell Brandon highlight reel. I first looked at eight.
- 37:09Speaker 2: That was a great run you have of the Brewers,
- 37:10Speaker 2: but this is from when he was with the Bruis
- 37:11Speaker 2: and four he had like.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Twelve bombs in fifty games. Yeah, that's and that's the
- 37:16Speaker 1: one I was remembering. This one was from all four.
- 37:19Speaker 1: So then I went to the YouTube for the old
- 37:21Speaker 1: four Russell Brandon highlight reel. Not there, But then there
- 37:24Speaker 1: was another one that said longst home run Russell Brandon
- 37:27Speaker 1: and it was on this that's beautiful, great YouTube. Thank you,
- 37:31Speaker 1: b And also uh, shout out to the duck to
- 37:35Speaker 1: flack Tuck. Is the duck still happening?
- 37:37Speaker 2: Like?
- 37:37Speaker 1: Is he still? Is he still rolling?
- 37:39Speaker 2: Or isn't he with your uh with coach coach prime, No,
- 37:43Speaker 2: with miss Terry and with coach with a coach saving.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Wasn't he debating the duck? Wasn't he message that the
- 37:49Speaker 1: duck is always around?
- 37:49Speaker 2: Yeah, Miss Terry, they were trying to go dancing in
- 37:52Speaker 2: the here and I'm drying my honey butt in the
- 37:53Speaker 2: morning and this duck just keeps quacking.
- 37:55Speaker 1: He said, all right, cut it out. That's enough. Now.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Some would say that it's enough talking about a four
- 38:01Speaker 1: nothing loss. O contrair. Hunter Bombgart was there last night.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Has some sound from the locker room, and hunter Bombgart
- 38:08Speaker 1: lets you know how it was like to be in
- 38:10Speaker 1: the crowd last night for when the Brewers get shut
- 38:13Speaker 1: down by Zach Thornton in the Mets.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Thanks guys, just an uncharacteristically poor performance by the Milwaukee
- 38:18Speaker 3: Brewers last night, and therefore nothing shut out. He got
- 38:21Speaker 3: a good credit to Zach Thornton six shutout innings in
- 38:25Speaker 3: his fourth major league start. Bruce Pitcher Brandon Sproute was
- 38:28Speaker 3: very familiar with him having been in the Mets system
- 38:31Speaker 3: with him, and he said, that's just what Thornton does.
- 38:35Speaker 5: That's what he's done his whole career so far. You know,
- 38:37Speaker 5: I know him doing pretty well. You know, he's you know,
- 38:42Speaker 5: a super just craft you left you you know, he
- 38:46Speaker 5: mixes super well on the pitch. Ability is there, he's
- 38:49Speaker 5: you know, he's not afraid that he who's in the box.
- 38:51Speaker 5: You know, that's just who he is. And know he's
- 38:54Speaker 5: it's a great pitcher and a tip of the cap
- 38:55Speaker 5: for him on it.
- 38:56Speaker 1: So now the Brewers kept it close for most of
- 38:58Speaker 1: the night.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Andrew pat Murphy talked about the two circumstances that really
- 39:02Speaker 3: changed the game.
- 39:03Speaker 4: The two run inning there obviously you saw how it happened.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Sprote got the ninety eight pitches and the before he
- 39:10Speaker 4: finished five innings, Pat Patrick was a good matchup and
- 39:14Speaker 4: you know, gave up a single and then a ground
- 39:18Speaker 4: ball that we either miscommunicated on, took a bad hop
- 39:21Speaker 4: or whatever it's that's an out or out of the inning.
- 39:24Speaker 4: It's a one nothing game. So that was unfortunate. You
- 39:27Speaker 4: know that whatever that was, miscommunication, whatever you want to
- 39:31Speaker 4: call it, that opened the game up. Now, it's three
- 39:34Speaker 4: nothing different. Then we get first and second, nobody out.
- 39:37Speaker 4: Jackson Curio's who had three out of four good at bats,
- 39:41Speaker 4: has his one port bat there, and then we make
- 39:44Speaker 4: a base running mistake.
- 39:45Speaker 3: So the Bruis will go for the series win. Coming
- 39:47Speaker 3: up today one ten first pitch, Logan Henderson on the
- 39:49Speaker 3: mound for the crew. Then day off tomorrow before a
- 39:52Speaker 3: weekend series hosting the Colorado Rockies. This report brought to
- 39:56Speaker 3: you by the Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional
- 39:58Speaker 3: vehicle care, on Sound twenty seventh of eight ninety four.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, Yeah, thank you, Hunter, appreciate it
- 40:04Speaker 1: and ain't lying that sixth inning was frustrating. You get
- 40:07Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt and Joey Ortiz to turn the lineup over
- 40:10Speaker 1: the right way at first and second, nobody out, and
- 40:14Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you have a man at
- 40:16Speaker 1: first base and two out because you run yourself into
- 40:19Speaker 1: an out on the pass ball. Now, I again, Bill
- 40:22Speaker 1: Schroeder said it, and I believe he's gonna always defer
- 40:27Speaker 1: to rock Roy. Yeah, that's it's a Joey Ortis mistake
- 40:30Speaker 1: because you've got to be always watching who's in front.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know why Cooper Pratt didn't go. Maybe
- 40:36Speaker 1: he didn't think it actually skipped away far enough. It
- 40:40Speaker 1: seemed like it was far enough to go. However, in
- 40:42Speaker 1: the heat of the moment, in your secondary lead, I
- 40:45Speaker 1: guess again, you gotta obviously make him right. Yeah, you
- 40:50Speaker 1: make him right by watching in front of you, that
- 40:53Speaker 1: being Joey Ortiz. So that's where the mistake, yes, goes
- 40:56Speaker 1: to that spot. I was, though, surprised when I'm watching him, like, Cooper,
- 41:00Speaker 1: what are we doing? You take a good secondary lead,
- 41:02Speaker 1: You're over at third base easily sliding feed for It's
- 41:05Speaker 1: one of those weird things that just happened.
- 41:06Speaker 2: I think he hesitated a bit because young players don't
- 41:09Speaker 2: want He's thinking, I want to run us out of
- 41:11Speaker 2: the inning at that ball didn't get as far as
- 41:12Speaker 2: I thought, Yeah, I'm on the second here, and it
- 41:14Speaker 2: didn't go to the backstop. It was kind of that
- 41:16Speaker 2: little in between, So maybe he thought better of it
- 41:18Speaker 2: just for a split second, which kept him there and
- 41:21Speaker 2: he makes that first move Joey Ortiz, SI's that. Then
- 41:24Speaker 2: he's off to the races the second and therefore you
- 41:27Speaker 2: just get the mix up there and I get it.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt, I think.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Being a little too careful there, not wanting to run
- 41:34Speaker 2: himself out of the inning, or so he thought, saying, Nah,
- 41:36Speaker 2: I didn't quite get there.
- 41:37Speaker 1: I simply just he just didn't think it went far enough.
- 41:39Speaker 1: What's the old unwritten rule, you never make the first
- 41:42Speaker 1: or third out at third? Well, yeah, exactly, that would
- 41:44Speaker 1: have been the second now, so that would have been
- 41:47Speaker 1: one to make. However, said twenty games in your big
- 41:50Speaker 1: league career, you want to get yelled out by the
- 41:52Speaker 1: manager at his new perch.
- 41:53Speaker 2: Well, and it's easy to say now because we know
- 41:55Speaker 2: what happened. But let's say it skips away. He thinks
- 41:58Speaker 2: it's far enough and it's not, and he's gonne down
- 42:00Speaker 2: a third, and then everyone's gonna be like, what are
- 42:02Speaker 2: you doing here? Sure, oh, for sure, that's tough spot.
- 42:05Speaker 2: And I'm sure he's thinking, I'm gonna be careful.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Well, in the other part of it, the mentioned by Murph,
- 42:11Speaker 1: it was their best scoring chance. So that's why you
- 42:13Speaker 1: focus on the sixth. Yeah, a strikeout strike looking on
- 42:16Speaker 1: the first pitch, very hittable, right in the middle of
- 42:19Speaker 1: the zone. For Jackson, watches strike three go by as
- 42:22Speaker 1: well as he's guessing on two strikes A tough one
- 42:24Speaker 1: to deal with, but how you end up losing and
- 42:27Speaker 1: the Brewers drop one last night. However, still twenty five
- 42:30Speaker 1: games over five hundred and go after the series win. Today,
- 42:33Speaker 1: Matt Stairs being nominated by Tommy and Stallis is one
- 42:37Speaker 1: of the great pinch hit home run guys of all time.
- 42:40Speaker 1: He had some blasts at am FAM. We'll ask for
- 42:43Speaker 1: yours as well, and we'll get into some hot takes.
