Latest / The Huddle / 09/10/26 - Hour 1
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We are here present and accounted for the Thursday edition
- 0:03Speaker 1: of the huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin, drew Wilson, Bill Schmidt, Armin.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Sorry.
- 0:07Speaker 1: And I don't know about you compadres, but I'm a
- 0:11Speaker 1: little tired today.
- 0:12Speaker 3: It listens, not skating fully at our totally at full
- 0:15Speaker 3: strength there. I think I'd be with you on that one.
- 0:17Speaker 1: We're going to need a lot of caffeine and a
- 0:19Speaker 1: lot of audience participation to buoy us. Cause it's tired
- 0:23Speaker 1: doing all the sweeping.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Let's go hiring. It's very fatiguing. I like that.
- 0:29Speaker 1: And, uh, I just had occasion, and I don't know
- 0:31Speaker 1: if it was a conscious decision on my part, but
- 0:34Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what?
- 0:35Speaker 2: I'm going to watch this all the way through. I'm
- 0:38Speaker 2: going to bask in this. I'm going to watch the
- 0:39Speaker 2: end of the game.
- 0:39Speaker 1: And then I had to sweat like everybody else through
- 0:41Speaker 1: Shane Drone's high wire ninth inning.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Come on, Sprouty. What are we doing?
- 0:46Speaker 1: I mean, like. Yeah, see, that's what I mean by
- 0:49Speaker 1: the lack of caffeine.
- 0:50Speaker 3: No, Drew, you are spot on because I thought last
- 0:53Speaker 3: night was a 10 percenter. I thought last night, I
- 0:55Speaker 3: thought last night was the full 10 percenter. We get
- 0:58Speaker 3: the kickoff of the NFL season with really nothing on
- 1:01Speaker 3: the line for Packers fans, but just enjoying and watching
- 1:04Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs bring his drop act over to New England
- 1:07Speaker 3: late into the game into the fourth quarter. And you
- 1:09Speaker 3: get the Brewers just drumming the arch rival and going
- 1:14Speaker 3: nine and four in the 13 game regular season series,
- 1:18Speaker 3: sweeping them one at their place, one at your place. Like,
- 1:20Speaker 3: there's no way I'm missing a second of this. And
- 1:24Speaker 3: then I did wish that I would have just read
- 1:25Speaker 3: the recap because that top of the ninth inning left
- 1:29Speaker 3: a lot to be desired. I liked Abner Uribe really
- 1:33Speaker 3: wanted to bust out a celebration, really wanted to bust
- 1:35Speaker 3: out a celebration, realized last night was not probably the time.
- 1:39Speaker 2: For the on the mountain. I noticed that.
- 1:42Speaker 4: And that was impressive to me that it showed growth.
- 1:44Speaker 4: Not only did Abner Reba put the fire out.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Thank you. It showed growth.
- 1:47Speaker 4: I mean, I did. And I was like, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 4: it didn't alarm me that he didn't come in and
- 1:52Speaker 4: set him down. Cause it's an unusual situation to go into.
- 1:55Speaker 4: And then he had the dribbler and there were some
- 1:56Speaker 4: weird things going on. But I was, you know what?
- 1:59Speaker 4: I was like, He stopped. He kind of jumped and stopped,
- 2:02Speaker 4: and he was happy, and he was relieved. I'm like,
- 2:04Speaker 4: you know, even Abner's not going to shake the dice.
- 2:06Speaker 2: You know what? Now is not the time.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Even he's not going to show him the old Gen
- 2:10Speaker 4: X chop.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't hit a DX. No DX.
- 2:12Speaker 4: The DX, the Gen X. I don't remember what chop
- 2:14Speaker 4: that was. But a sweep's a sweep. The funny thing
- 2:18Speaker 4: is I was thinking the same thing. It's like, would
- 2:20Speaker 4: Brewers go up 7-0 and Contreras, Homers, and then obviously
- 2:24Speaker 4: Yelich and Chirio did? I'm like, all right, well, this
- 2:27Speaker 4: might be the night. This might be the night I
- 2:29Speaker 4: actually get to bed early. Cause I say that to
- 2:31Speaker 4: myself about, Oh, 82% of the time, you know, never
- 2:35Speaker 4: really comes through, but I always thought this might be
- 2:37Speaker 4: the night, you know, and I'm settling in and, you know, maybe,
- 2:40Speaker 4: maybe throw on a couple of, you know, street food
- 2:43Speaker 4: videos that get in bed, you know, and try and
- 2:45Speaker 4: fall asleep. And all of a sudden there it goes, pop, pop, pop.
- 2:50Speaker 4: My phone's buzzing alert, alert. What's going on here? We're
- 2:53Speaker 4: back in the trenches. So you have to suit up
- 2:56Speaker 4: and get back down in the ditch and get ready
- 2:58Speaker 4: to go for a tight Brewers ninth. And then even
- 3:01Speaker 4: in the NFL opener last night, I'm thinking, well, this
- 3:04Speaker 4: is a dud of a game. Not much is happening,
- 3:06Speaker 4: but the Patriots are going to coast home with this
- 3:08Speaker 4: ugly 10-0 win.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Next thing I know, Drew Locke comes in and saved
- 3:12Speaker 2: the day. Like, what is going on?
- 3:14Speaker 4: Drake Mays throwing picks all over the yard like it's 1976.
- 3:17Speaker 4: So I said to myself, oh, I guess this isn't
- 3:19Speaker 4: going to be an early night.
- 3:20Speaker 2: It's going to be a Another late one.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Another night in the trenches, as Kevin McAllister said in
- 3:25Speaker 4: Home Alone 2.
- 3:26Speaker 2: And that's what it was. Is Home Alone 2 as
- 3:29Speaker 2: quotable as Home Alone 1?
- 3:30Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know if it has that same thing.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Not the same.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I will say, Chris Brown one time said that, listen,
- 3:39Speaker 3: as Drake May said, I'll save the last one for
- 3:42Speaker 3: you and save three of them things for the third,
- 3:44Speaker 3: for the fourth quarter.
- 3:45Speaker 2: That's what he did change that entire game.
- 3:47Speaker 3: As he throws three picks all in the fourth quarter,
- 3:50Speaker 3: it was handing them out to everyone. Julian love got one,
- 3:52Speaker 3: the heave to Romeo Dobbs started it out. And then
- 3:56Speaker 3: the last one that I'm still amazed Seattle didn't punch
- 3:58Speaker 3: in for six, keeps it at 13, 10, keeps it
- 4:01Speaker 3: under hits a push for most folks in the investment world.
- 4:04Speaker 3: And drew that's where the caffeine and the audience participation
- 4:08Speaker 3: is really going to need to ramp up here today.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Cause Not only are we tired from all the sweeping,
- 4:15Speaker 3: but we're pulling double duty tonight because the pictures are out,
- 4:19Speaker 3: the videos are out, the graphics of the Pottawatomie Sportsbook
- 4:22Speaker 3: are live. I got my eyes on them yesterday because
- 4:25Speaker 3: folks are ready for the Thursday Night Huddle coming up
- 4:27Speaker 3: tonight at 5.
- 4:28Speaker 2: That is true.
- 4:29Speaker 1: The Maiden Voyage, 5 to 7 o'clock, will be live
- 4:32Speaker 1: from the Annex. Pottawatomie Sportsbook can't wait. Going to be
- 4:35Speaker 1: talking about football and having fun leading into Thursday Night Football, which...
- 4:40Speaker 1: Has to be a better game, doesn't it? It's got
- 4:42Speaker 1: to be better. I mean, was last night, it was better.
- 4:44Speaker 1: It was more competitive than the Super Bowl. It wasn't
- 4:47Speaker 1: more entertaining than the Super Bowl.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Last night.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It didn't have commercials and diversions, so it didn't have
- 4:52Speaker 1: all the bells and whistles. It was like eating cornflakes
- 4:54Speaker 1: with no milk.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was waiting for bad money to fall
- 4:57Speaker 3: through that living room again. At that point, how slow
- 5:00Speaker 3: the game got, I was waiting for something. Last night
- 5:02Speaker 3: is a great study of just because a game is
- 5:04Speaker 3: close does not mean it's good.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Good.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Just because it does not mean it's good. And last
- 5:10Speaker 3: night there was a lot of, a lot of tough
- 5:12Speaker 3: watches in there. However, my man, Sammy D goes down
- 5:16Speaker 3: in the first quarter or the first drive for the
- 5:19Speaker 3: reigning defending Superbowl champs that made it very compelling quickly.
- 5:24Speaker 3: And you know, the guy that Brian Guta Kunst almost
- 5:27Speaker 3: moved off of Aaron Rogers for way back when drew
- 5:30Speaker 3: lock got to take the mantle.
- 5:31Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, drew lock was that first.
- 5:34Speaker 3: On campus 30 visit that they did the year before
- 5:37Speaker 3: they took Jordan Love. There's a lot of people that
- 5:40Speaker 3: were big fans of Drew Locke. And now all of
- 5:41Speaker 3: a sudden he gets to show what he can do
- 5:43Speaker 3: as a Super Bowl champion.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Doesn't that seem like a lifetime ago?
- 5:45Speaker 4: But yeah, a long time ago in a league now
- 5:48Speaker 4: kind of of second chances in some ways or second
- 5:51Speaker 4: lives for quarterbacks. Maybe that's his and, you know, replacing
- 5:55Speaker 4: a guy who had a second and third life. Sam Darnold,
- 5:57Speaker 4: who's who's showing it now, of course, leaving with the injury.
- 6:00Speaker 2: But, you know, A.J. Brown hurt for the Patriots.
- 6:03Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to say they're cooked after
- 6:05Speaker 4: week one because I, you know, that would be very
- 6:09Speaker 4: prisoner of the moment of me to do a little presumptuous,
- 6:11Speaker 4: but it would definitely be presumptuous, but you know, what
- 6:14Speaker 4: the heck, why not? It's the only game we had
- 6:16Speaker 4: last night and it was kind of, but man, AJ
- 6:18Speaker 4: Brown going down and Drake may looking.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Like hot, you know, whatever.
- 6:22Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 6:23Speaker 2: It's going to be a.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Long season obviously, but it just shows you how quickly
- 6:27Speaker 4: narratives can change or how quickly your thought process can
- 6:30Speaker 4: change in an NFL season because well, One loss is
- 6:33Speaker 4: not like the end of the world, usually, in general,
- 6:36Speaker 4: in the grand scheme of things. But you can get
- 6:39Speaker 4: in trouble in the NFL if you lose a couple early.
- 6:41Speaker 1: The big story to me was the people that got
- 6:44Speaker 1: to play with their shiny new toy and celebrate and
- 6:47Speaker 1: bask in the glow of the noise and the 12.
- 6:50Speaker 1: You just paid $ 9. 6 billion for a team and your
- 6:52Speaker 1: quarterbacks hurt five plays.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Into the game.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Welcome to the NFL. Here's your brand new owner's suite.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Son of a, this is how quickly it happens.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Five plays in $ 9.
- 7:04Speaker 2: 6 billion.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Like what did we buy here? And then they, they
- 7:07Speaker 1: win the game. Oh, that's a good point.
- 7:10Speaker 3: True. Cause you know that they brought all of their friends. Oh,
- 7:13Speaker 3: night one of the new ownership. You had, you are
- 7:16Speaker 3: showing that bad boy off in the, You don't even
- 7:19Speaker 3: know where the bathroom in your suite is. No points
- 7:21Speaker 3: in the first 40 minutes?
- 7:23Speaker 2: What are we doing? You guys got shut out in
- 7:25Speaker 2: the first half? This is football?
- 7:27Speaker 4: Honey, we just got this new pool, and everybody's coming over,
- 7:30Speaker 4: and the filter won't work.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And it's green.
- 7:32Speaker 4: And it's not working. What's going on with the pool?
- 7:33Speaker 4: We need to get someone here. I'm going to be
- 7:35Speaker 4: so embarrassed. All of our friends are coming over, and
- 7:37Speaker 4: this pool doesn't work.
- 7:38Speaker 3: You sound like you're watching that Kylie Kelsey commercial.
- 7:40Speaker 2: I'm going to be so embarrassed. We're going to be
- 7:41Speaker 2: the worst hosts ever.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I'm in charge of the pool in front of the
- 7:45Speaker 1: Washington Monument.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Oh, there we go. Let's start with that. Why not?
- 7:51Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go. No, I mean, it is kind of
- 7:53Speaker 4: funny how things can change. Look, and then you're waking
- 7:56Speaker 4: up and you're the Cubs, and all of a sudden
- 7:59Speaker 4: they're only two and a half up in the wild card.
- 8:00Speaker 3: A.J.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Brown is hurt. Good morning.
- 8:03Speaker 5: A.J.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Brown got hurt. Welcome to week one. So, you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: I feel validated, and I have hope because I did say,
- 8:12Speaker 1: That to me, the more interesting game is tonight in
- 8:15Speaker 1: Melbourne and like the jet lag bowl is going to be,
- 8:18Speaker 1: who did it right?
- 8:19Speaker 2: That's the coverage of who, who did it right?
- 8:22Speaker 1: The 49ers who went there and tried to acclimate or
- 8:24Speaker 1: the Rams who are going to be playing kind of
- 8:26Speaker 1: a red eye football game.
- 8:28Speaker 3: It really didn't hit me drew as how quickly they
- 8:31Speaker 3: were going to be playing. And when I actually saw
- 8:33Speaker 3: the video that the NFL put out in the middle
- 8:36Speaker 3: of the evening yesterday, while I was eating dinner, that
- 8:38Speaker 3: they had just arrived, and Matt Stafford looked like he
- 8:41Speaker 3: was fully asleep at baggage claim. I mean, he's standing there,
- 8:45Speaker 3: standing upright with his eyes basically closed, statuesque, just waiting
- 8:50Speaker 3: for his carry-on. And I'm like, there's no way I'm
- 8:55Speaker 3: taking the Rams tomorrow night. No chance I'm taking the
- 8:58Speaker 3: Rams tomorrow night after watching just that video.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I love that.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that's funny, because just imagine if you
- 9:05Speaker 4: got off a flight like that, and all of a
- 9:06Speaker 4: sudden there were cameras all over you.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Like, just think about that. Like, it would be so uncomfortable. Like, okay,
- 9:10Speaker 2: get off of me here.
- 9:12Speaker 4: I just flew in a metal tube in the sky
- 9:14Speaker 4: for 15 hours.
- 9:15Speaker 2: For a day.
- 9:16Speaker 4: And you're going to put a camera in front of
- 9:17Speaker 4: me now and expect me to look good? Like, you
- 9:20Speaker 4: know what I mean? Even a nice plane. Like, even
- 9:23Speaker 4: if I got to stretch my legs out, it didn't happen.
- 9:25Speaker 2: I was going to say, I don't know. Those TikTok
- 9:26Speaker 2: girls make it look pretty good. Oh, my goodness.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Some of these international flights that you can get now,
- 9:31Speaker 4: some of these little rooms you can get in.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I mean, I guess if you've got... George Kittle's wife
- 9:34Speaker 2: put a video out of the little... Chateau that she
- 9:38Speaker 2: had on the flight down there. Shockingly so.
- 9:41Speaker 3: George Kittle flies down there, Drew, nine months after tearing
- 9:44Speaker 3: his Achilles. Adam Schefter this week wasn't ready to put
- 9:48Speaker 3: his reputation out that George Kittle was going to play.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Wasn't prepared to put his name on the
- 9:54Speaker 2: fact that he was going to play. People were going
- 9:56Speaker 2: to decide on his reputation based on that.
- 9:58Speaker 3: I'm not going to put my reputation. on the fact
- 10:00Speaker 3: that he's going to play. But I think he's got
- 10:02Speaker 3: a good chance. Well, this morning now, apparently, they can
- 10:04Speaker 3: say he's going to play. He's now off the injury
- 10:06Speaker 3: report nine months after a torn Achilles.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Ready to roll tonight. You know what?
- 10:10Speaker 4: That makes you wonder, too. Like, will he be ready?
- 10:12Speaker 4: And you think about the Rams and the flight now, Billy.
- 10:14Speaker 4: All these things are swimming in my head as I
- 10:16Speaker 4: decide what wagers I'm going to make tonight at the
- 10:19Speaker 4: Pottawatomie Sportsbook Annex when we're there.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Like, you know, now you got me thinking, man. I
- 10:23Speaker 2: love when you do this.
- 10:24Speaker 3: And you're going to be sitting there staring at those
- 10:25Speaker 3: kiosks the entire show.
- 10:28Speaker 4: The amount of time I try to think of different angles.
- 10:31Speaker 4: I ought to spend my $ 5. And it's like, oh,
- 10:33Speaker 4: maybe this is going to happen.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Maybe they're going to be tired here.
- 10:36Speaker 4: And then they're going to probably roll up and throw
- 10:39Speaker 4: for 400 yards or something crazy. It's pretty funny how
- 10:41Speaker 4: that goes. But, oh, man, what a day we're going
- 10:43Speaker 4: to have. Jake with the glasses on YouTube.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Here we go. Five o'clock club on a sweep Thursday.
- 10:48Speaker 2: That's right. Get the brooms out and not to do chores. Vince,
- 10:52Speaker 2: good morning to the huddle. Vince, good morning to you.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Good morning, guys. Paul from Kenosha. P.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Chang as well. Always in there on the YouTube comments.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Happy throwback Thursday, fellas, regardless of the sprouting ninth. Always
- 11:03Speaker 4: feels good to sweep the Cubs. That's two sweeps over the, quote,
- 11:06Speaker 4: traitor and his baby bears. NFL's back, baby.
- 11:09Speaker 2: I love that energy. That's good energy right there. I
- 11:12Speaker 2: do love.
- 11:13Speaker 4: You guys notice we got the council cam going now?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Oh, the council cam.
- 11:17Speaker 1: It's a little much, isn't it?
- 11:19Speaker 2: A little excessive. Oh, I'm eating it all up. I
- 11:22Speaker 2: think it's hilarious.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Yeah, they know where they're at. They're like, we're going
- 11:26Speaker 3: to go right back to it. They're playing the hits.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Also, when you can get that zoom in, like, all right,
- 11:30Speaker 2: yellow shit.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Crushes the homer on the swing same shot one time
- 11:34Speaker 4: it's so cinematic it might i mean i get your
- 11:37Speaker 4: point true at some point they are kind of milking
- 11:39Speaker 4: that cow a lot but yeah you might as well
- 11:41Speaker 4: it's the last game against the cubs this year well
- 11:42Speaker 4: maybe when you go.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Up seven nothing like they did just the homers early
- 11:46Speaker 1: and just churio who's just becoming a beast who's on
- 11:51Speaker 1: another planet i mean he is i compared him to
- 11:53Speaker 1: yannis man we're watching him establish himself and he's he
- 11:58Speaker 1: walked in pretty good You know, 2020, it looks like
- 12:00Speaker 1: he's going to be third straight year of 2020. He
- 12:02Speaker 1: walked in pretty good, but he's just scratching the surface, man.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I think he's going to be, he's going to go
- 12:07Speaker 1: on one of those heaters and have a season like
- 12:08Speaker 1: PCA is having this year. Yeah, and he's right now
- 12:11Speaker 1: having just the hell of a role that you possibly could.
- 12:13Speaker 1: And again, you forget that he missed a month.
- 12:15Speaker 2: To start the year, right? That's the thing.
- 12:17Speaker 3: And I thought, Drew, maybe the most evident, and maybe
- 12:20Speaker 3: I'm overthinking it, but when he slides on, was that
- 12:23Speaker 3: Tuesday night that people were a little frustrated about the
- 12:25Speaker 3: slide that he had? It almost looked like somebody that
- 12:28Speaker 3: did break his hand earlier in the year. He's like,
- 12:30Speaker 3: I'm going to be a little more delicate on this slide,
- 12:32Speaker 3: a little more... because I kind of am important with
- 12:34Speaker 3: these two hands. Me with the bat in the hand
- 12:37Speaker 3: is more important on this slide than me maybe stubbing
- 12:39Speaker 3: a finger, because he.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Is white hot. But you're right. 830. Sorry. That was
- 12:43Speaker 2: a barrel roll of a slide.
- 12:44Speaker 3: It was like kind of trying to protect, not trying
- 12:46Speaker 3: to really do too much here, but I'll just stick
- 12:48Speaker 3: my hand in there.
- 12:49Speaker 2: It was a little Brooks Kieschnick-esque. I remember watching him
- 12:51Speaker 2: slide once.
- 12:53Speaker 4: It was kind of a, but yeah, uh, eight 37 OPS.
- 12:56Speaker 4: He's slugging four 91. Now his batting average is two 90. Um,
- 13:00Speaker 4: he's one of these guys, you know, the thing about
- 13:02Speaker 4: Jackson besides his obvious talent and the excitement and his youth,
- 13:06Speaker 4: what he can do in these peak moments when he's
- 13:08Speaker 4: really hot. But I still think his best ability is
- 13:10Speaker 4: that his floor never gets too low when he's kind
- 13:13Speaker 4: of going in his up and down kind of, um, uh,
- 13:16Speaker 4: you know, the graph, you know, the hot and cold
- 13:18Speaker 4: during the year. But he always has a baseline ability,
- 13:20Speaker 4: which is not easy to do as a young guy
- 13:22Speaker 4: coming up. There's a lot of great prospects that came
- 13:25Speaker 4: up at a very young age that were not able
- 13:27Speaker 4: to just maintain performance, even at their slowest times of
- 13:30Speaker 4: the year, which is what he's able to do. It's
- 13:32Speaker 4: so impressive. And as you said, he's putting together what
- 13:35Speaker 4: is already the best season of his young career in
- 13:38Speaker 4: a career that he's had a couple good ones already.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Yeah, he's... 4.2 war right now. His baseline is going
- 13:43Speaker 1: to be 20 homers. I think he's going to someday
- 13:46Speaker 1: be in 40, 45.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, Drew?
- 13:49Speaker 3: It goes to when he first came up, a lot
- 13:51Speaker 3: of the comparisons or the easiest one that people would
- 13:55Speaker 3: try to forecast would be Ronald Acuna. And you didn't
- 13:58Speaker 3: realize Acuna had 40-bomb power in that bat all the time.
- 14:03Speaker 3: And very much, you can see it. You can see
- 14:06Speaker 3: they're a very similar style player.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Maybe.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Acuna's got a stronger arm in the outfield, but they're
- 14:12Speaker 3: good defenders, maybe not elite defenders, but too elite in
- 14:16Speaker 3: that box to be messed with.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Yeah, good enough. Good enough. Absolutely.
- 14:20Speaker 1: All right, so the Brewers now back to a 10-game lead.
- 14:23Speaker 1: A 10-game lead.
- 14:24Speaker 2: That is a beautiful thing to say. I mean, that
- 14:26Speaker 2: is magic.
- 14:26Speaker 3: Magic numbers down to five. They actually could ruin their
- 14:29Speaker 3: own carpet.
- 14:29Speaker 2: They could. I mean, that's crazy. They could do it. Five.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Yeah, five for the NL Central to get a bye.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Four for the postseason. Five for the Central to get
- 14:40Speaker 1: a bye. Actually, two for the season adjusted. Postseason clinch
- 14:42Speaker 1: is likely this weekend. Postseason is going to happen maybe tonight.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Did we fully understand what the schedule adjusted one is?
- 14:49Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 14:49Speaker 3: But I do like the fact that they might just
- 14:51Speaker 3: immediately rip off the question that we had yesterday. Not
- 14:55Speaker 3: even going to be a deal. We're just going to
- 14:56Speaker 3: clinch them both on the same night. We'll just celebrate
- 14:58Speaker 3: either way.
- 14:59Speaker 1: The whole 100 win thing is now they have to
- 15:01Speaker 1: go nine and six, which is entirely doable.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Very much in the cards. Very much in the cards.
- 15:05Speaker 2: No pun intended. Could be against the cards.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Nine and six gets you to 100 wins. Yeah, so
- 15:11Speaker 1: to get the number one seed, the magic number is
- 15:14Speaker 1: 14 over the Doyers.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another one. Who are rolling right now.
- 15:20Speaker 1: They're rolling, but they also put their big fan on
- 15:23Speaker 1: the aisle.
- 15:25Speaker 4: If you're watching other teams in the mix as well,
- 15:28Speaker 4: the Braves lost last night. The Phillies, they lost the race.
- 15:31Speaker 4: The Phillies came back to win. Schwarber did it again
- 15:34Speaker 4: with a grand salami. That guy is just incredible.
- 15:37Speaker 1: I don't know, and I know we don't have to
- 15:39Speaker 1: worry about this right now because we're just going to
- 15:40Speaker 1: get our popcorn and watch the first round. But if
- 15:42Speaker 1: the Phillies do play the Cubs and the series is
- 15:46Speaker 1: in Philly, that'll be tough for the Cubs to win.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Big time.
- 15:48Speaker 1: But I'd rather the Brewers face the Cubs than the Phillies.
- 15:50Speaker 1: I know people are like, oh, I can't have the
- 15:53Speaker 1: thought of losing. Phillies are no joke. They come out there,
- 15:56Speaker 1: and their bullpen's better than the Cubs, and their lineup
- 15:59Speaker 1: is as if not more scary with Schwarber and Harper
- 16:02Speaker 1: and Realuto. I was going to say, and their rotation
- 16:05Speaker 1: is different. And their rotation at the top is right
- 16:07Speaker 1: up there with Miz and Henderson.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Phillies could be the toughest out besides the way this
- 16:10Speaker 2: adds to the Dodgers.
- 16:10Speaker 3: The Phillies scare me as much as anybody in the bracket.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Because if it wasn't for their month of... April, they
- 16:16Speaker 3: would have been the odds-on favorite to win the NL.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Right?
- 16:19Speaker 3: I mean, they would have been right there neck and
- 16:21Speaker 3: neck with you the entire time, and they've been surging.
- 16:23Speaker 2: They're one of those groups, Drew, that you see it
- 16:25Speaker 2: every year.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Come, like, June, they become the best team in baseball,
- 16:30Speaker 3: and then the stats once they hit the postseason is,
- 16:32Speaker 3: Since May 25th, like the Brewers last year, best team
- 16:35Speaker 3: in baseball since June 14th, best team in baseball. And
- 16:38Speaker 3: I feel like there's the Padres were like that a
- 16:41Speaker 3: couple of years ago. They're going to be right there
- 16:42Speaker 3: in the mix. And the Phillies are a tough one
- 16:44Speaker 3: because that those numbers, those dudes on paper, they jump
- 16:47Speaker 3: off the jump off the lineup.
- 16:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Phillies is going to be a tough out. No doubt
- 16:51Speaker 1: about it.
- 16:54Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
- 16:55Speaker 1: We're again, it's the warmup act because today's the double
- 16:58Speaker 1: header for us.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Potawatomi sports book.
- 17:02Speaker 1: In the Annex, it's going to be the Huddle Live,
- 17:04Speaker 1: Thursday Live, Thursday Night Live.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Join us and become a legend. I mean, yeah. I
- 17:09Speaker 2: like that. Your sport, their stadium.
- 17:11Speaker 3: But you go in there, and you pull up, and
- 17:13Speaker 3: you are going to feel like you're running out of
- 17:15Speaker 3: the tunnel when you come into the Annex.
- 17:17Speaker 2: And stay tuned for the winning words, the phrase that pays. Yes, sir.
- 17:20Speaker 1: We're going to have a little secret, a little inside
- 17:26Speaker 1: for our smart and good-looking listeners that if you roll
- 17:29Speaker 1: up to our table tonight and say, Relay to us
- 17:32Speaker 1: the phrase that pays or the words, what is it,
- 17:34Speaker 1: the winning words or whatever we're going.
- 17:35Speaker 2: To call it. Yeah, I like phrase that pays. Pays
- 17:38Speaker 2: that pays big.com. The phrase that pays, if you say.
- 17:41Speaker 1: It to us, we'll have a $ 10 gift card for
- 17:44Speaker 1: you to use on property for anything you want.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Snacks, food. Yeah. A chunk of a burger.
- 17:49Speaker 3: The first 10 folks that get there to give us
- 17:51Speaker 3: the phrase that pays, get it. And most importantly, Drew,
- 17:54Speaker 3: we've been saying that there were going to be elite
- 17:57Speaker 3: perks of being in the 5 o'clock club that you
- 18:00Speaker 3: just couldn't get anywhere else. We just didn't tell you
- 18:02Speaker 3: exactly when it was going to roll through.
- 18:03Speaker 4: Yep.
- 18:04Speaker 3: But now, all of a sudden, on the other side,
- 18:05Speaker 3: you're going to have that opportunity right here, 5 o'clock, clubbers.
- 18:08Speaker 3: It pays to be listening at this time of hour.
- 18:11Speaker 2: It certainly does.
- 18:12Speaker 1: It certainly does. Looking forward to tonight. But we got
- 18:14Speaker 1: to get through this morning first. Do we have Hunter today?
- 18:17Speaker 1: Because I know Dolph is back.
- 18:19Speaker 2: All right, talk to Hunter. We do have Hunter.
- 18:20Speaker 5: Let's go.
- 18:20Speaker 2: He's feeling better.
- 18:21Speaker 4: We have Dolph. And we have a Hunter report. So
- 18:24Speaker 4: we are just skating. Everything's coming up gangbusters.
- 18:26Speaker 2: At full strength. Yes. All right. I'm just getting rolling.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out with us, 5 o'clock clubbers.
- 18:30Speaker 2: You're in the huddle.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it
- 18:34Speaker 1: to you.
- 18:34Speaker 2: The huddle.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. iHeartRadio app. Facebook, X,
- 18:39Speaker 1: and YouTube for the streamers. Glad you're aboard, you 5
- 18:44Speaker 1: o'clock clubbers. A couple of notes here because, you know, Billy,
- 18:48Speaker 1: you wanted football back in the worst way, and in
- 18:50Speaker 1: some ways you got it last night.
- 18:52Speaker 2: The first game.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Of the NFL season, a rematch of Super Bowl 60
- 18:57Speaker 1: was not compelling.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Was not thrilling.
- 19:00Speaker 3: Better game than it was in Santa Clara six months ago.
- 19:05Speaker 3: The interesting thing was when Darnold goes down, you thought, okay, well,
- 19:08Speaker 3: there's going to be no offense in this game, and
- 19:10Speaker 3: then all it took was a fourth and one and
- 19:13Speaker 3: the offensive player of the year. running away from everybody
- 19:16Speaker 3: to give you the one highlight that you get out
- 19:18Speaker 3: of the opening game last night.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:19Speaker 1: So Drake may led the Patriots to an early lead
- 19:22Speaker 1: and then didn't do much. And then in the fourth quarter,
- 19:25Speaker 1: I'll let him do a loss. Had a, he took
- 19:28Speaker 1: three sacks and had three interceptions.
- 19:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:31Speaker 1: It's one thing to not do much, but the throw
- 19:33Speaker 1: stats and info, the last quarterback to throw a pick
- 19:35Speaker 1: down by three, less than a minute left inside of
- 19:37Speaker 1: the 20 yard line was Kyler Murray, whom the Packers
- 19:42Speaker 1: will face. Kyler Murray accomplished that week eight of 2021
- 19:45Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Rasul Douglas. win the thing, pick to walk it off
- 19:50Speaker 2: and win it.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Snatching victory from.
- 19:53Speaker 2: The jaws of defeat.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Oh, that's a beautiful callback right there.
- 19:58Speaker 1: So yeah, to throw a pick in that circumstance is rare.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Not since 2021, it doesn't happen a ton.
- 20:04Speaker 3: And you could see that the rush was getting to
- 20:07Speaker 3: may and that he was, he was About to break,
- 20:10Speaker 3: about to break, and then just lofted something up as
- 20:12Speaker 3: quickly as he could.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Here's the other thing for your viewing pleasure, for your
- 20:17Speaker 1: listening pleasure, and for folks who thought Drake May got
- 20:20Speaker 1: hosed and maybe should have beaten Stafford last year for
- 20:22Speaker 1: the MVP.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Oh, for MVP? Yeah.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Drake May, with the loss last night, is now 0-12
- 20:27Speaker 1: against teams with a winning record. Yeah, that's not going
- 20:29Speaker 1: to do it. That is going to follow him the
- 20:31Speaker 1: way Kirk Cousins on Monday night. It's like, Kirk Cousins
- 20:34Speaker 1: hasn't won on Monday night. He's 0-57 on Monday night football.
- 20:37Speaker 3: And he'll finally beat a team that's 4-3. They'll lose
- 20:40Speaker 3: three straight, and they're like, he's a fraud again!
- 20:42Speaker 2: You have to overcome that. I'm sorry.
- 20:44Speaker 4: There's a reality to it at some point. There's a
- 20:47Speaker 4: reason we called him the schedule last year.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Isn't it a stunning stat, though?
- 20:50Speaker 1: It's stunning, but it's... Now, against playoff teams, I guess
- 20:53Speaker 1: he was like 5-8 or something, including the playoffs, but.
- 20:57Speaker 4: I mean, there was zero confidence watching him. I mean,
- 21:00Speaker 4: that team went to the Super Bowl and you said
- 21:01Speaker 4: to yourself. This guy is not really doing much for him.
- 21:05Speaker 4: I know he had a good year last year.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Yeah, if you watch the regular season, though, and you
- 21:08Speaker 3: watch the games that he played, you realized all of
- 21:11Speaker 3: the numbers that he put up were sublime.
- 21:13Speaker 4: They were good during the season, yes, they were. Definitely,
- 21:16Speaker 4: I agree with you. But, I mean, playoffs sometimes is
- 21:19Speaker 4: when you're seeing tough competition.
- 21:22Speaker 3: No doubt, he played four of the top eight defenses
- 21:24Speaker 3: in football in the playoffs, which you're usually going to see,
- 21:27Speaker 3: no doubt about it.
- 21:27Speaker 2: But that's something else. And the eye test sometimes is questionable.
- 21:34Speaker 1: The record is the record, and that's quirky. What does
- 21:36Speaker 1: it tell us? Well, obviously, can he win a big game?
- 21:38Speaker 1: He got to a Super Bowl. Yes. To be fair,
- 21:42Speaker 1: he did win those games. Hey, listen, he's on pace
- 21:44Speaker 1: for 51 interceptions now.
- 21:46Speaker 2: So there you go. But he also.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Thrown the ball down the field, not his forte. Three
- 21:54Speaker 1: for nine, throwing the ball 10 yards or more down
- 21:56Speaker 1: the field with three interceptions. Seven for eight.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Behind the line of scrimmage. Well, Rome didn't help him
- 22:01Speaker 2: out last night, did he? No, no. Romeo didn't really
- 22:04Speaker 2: help him. And then I.
- 22:05Speaker 4: Saw Andrew on YouTube. Andrew said, how about the Romeo
- 22:08Speaker 4: dubs cam.
- 22:09Speaker 1: After his huge drop?
- 22:10Speaker 2: Passes of 20. Oh, and they hit him on the
- 22:11Speaker 2: bench right there. Wow.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Remember when it was love wasn't accurate with the deep ball?
- 22:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Now it's Drake May's turn in the jackpot because he's
- 22:20Speaker 1: 0 for 4 with three picks on deep passes of
- 22:23Speaker 1: 20 yards or more last night.
- 22:25Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, well, OK.
- 22:28Speaker 4: I mean, if you're a conductor, sorry, Billy, to jump
- 22:30Speaker 4: on you there. If you're a conductor, can you bring
- 22:32Speaker 4: the rights to the orchestra up? That was what always
- 22:34Speaker 4: Aaron was good at, right? And is Drake going to
- 22:37Speaker 4: be good at that now with A.J.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Brown out? You know, that's the question. I did it
- 22:40Speaker 2: all again. Did it all last year? I mean, like
- 22:43Speaker 2: all year.
- 22:43Speaker 3: So like, I'm not, I'm not ready to jump off
- 22:46Speaker 3: of the Drake may bandwagon. Like a lot of people
- 22:48Speaker 3: will after the one game, but.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Those are interesting stats to dig out from.
- 22:52Speaker 3: A hundred percent. Seattle's defense is going to do that
- 22:54Speaker 3: to a lot of folks. I just like, sure. I
- 22:55Speaker 3: come out of these games and I came out of
- 22:58Speaker 3: most of the off season, uh, surprised at the disrespect
- 23:02Speaker 3: to Seattle winning the championship. and being as doubted and
- 23:06Speaker 3: under discussed as anybody. But listen, the two teams that
- 23:10Speaker 3: the Rams off season did the most for were clearly
- 23:13Speaker 3: the LA Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. Cause no other
- 23:15Speaker 3: team is as counted out in their own division that
- 23:19Speaker 3: just hoisted the trophy. Then that one is because people
- 23:23Speaker 3: are still going to wait to see if they're going
- 23:25Speaker 3: to be able to do it again.
- 23:26Speaker 2: And, you know, validated again, how good of a year
- 23:28Speaker 2: Stafford had last year.
- 23:30Speaker 3: You watch him carve up that, Same defense that Seattle
- 23:34Speaker 3: puts out that dominated most teams in the back half
- 23:37Speaker 3: of the year last year. Stafford was putting up insane
- 23:40Speaker 3: numbers against them in those shootouts. Seahawks had some guys out.
- 23:44Speaker 1: They committed 100 yards worth of penalties, which added to
- 23:47Speaker 1: the suckiness of the whole night, of the whole thing.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Definitely slowed it down, Drew, that's for sure. And, you know,
- 23:54Speaker 2: you're up on the road.
- 23:55Speaker 1: You know, when you're up on the road at Lumen Field,
- 23:58Speaker 1: you got to finish, right? You got to finish because it's...
- 24:02Speaker 1: It's not an easy place to play all that, but
- 24:04Speaker 1: I think this was, I felt more like the Patriots.
- 24:09Speaker 1: It's a Patriots loss more than a Seahawks win.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
- 24:11Speaker 1: The Seahawks overcame the quarterback going out and stuff, but
- 24:13Speaker 1: it was like a Patriots.
- 24:14Speaker 2: It was there for you. And they just gave it
- 24:16Speaker 2: right to you.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Your MVP candidate, your MVP runner-ups throwing picks, handing them
- 24:21Speaker 1: out like Oprah hands out big presents.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Under your seat. You get one. You get one. What
- 24:25Speaker 2: are we doing?
- 24:26Speaker 3: Yeah, you get one, too. Why not? And once Locke
- 24:30Speaker 3: came out, you knew the game was going to slow
- 24:32Speaker 3: down significantly. and seattle i mean they got 13 first
- 24:36Speaker 3: downs like they get a short field off of the
- 24:39Speaker 3: turnover after it's tied and i think they ran nine
- 24:43Speaker 3: plays to get 35 yards it was a slog for
- 24:46Speaker 3: them throughout.
- 24:47Speaker 1: If sam darnold is out for an extended period of
- 24:49Speaker 1: time or even god forbid the season apparently there's no
- 24:52Speaker 1: ct machine so they have to do a scan today
- 24:55Speaker 1: but There's no fracture.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Come on. Surprise me.
- 24:57Speaker 1: No CT machine. I thought they'd have state of the
- 24:59Speaker 1: art imaging.
- 25:00Speaker 2: I thought everything. Yeah. Come on. Cappuccino cap. If he
- 25:02Speaker 2: can't go billion, you can't get one.
- 25:04Speaker 1: We just mentioned Kirk cousins can't win on Monday night,
- 25:06Speaker 1: but if he can't go, is that the guy they
- 25:08Speaker 1: pry away and let Vegas start on the front, the
- 25:11Speaker 1: Mendoza era, or do they go and, Do they go
- 25:14Speaker 1: and get Tua when he gets flipped loose?
- 25:16Speaker 2: Or is J.J.
- 25:17Speaker 1: McCarthy up next because he's a third string quarterback?
- 25:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd play Drew Locke nine, ten times out of
- 25:24Speaker 3: ten before I'm throwing J.J.
- 25:26Speaker 2: McCarthy out there. And like that's the thing. There are
- 25:29Speaker 2: a couple of options.
- 25:30Speaker 3: This is the one where I waited and wondered if
- 25:33Speaker 3: if Rogers was going to before he signed with with
- 25:36Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and how long that one lasted. I kind of
- 25:39Speaker 3: thought he was going to sit back and wait to
- 25:41Speaker 3: potentially see if somebody would go down.
- 25:43Speaker 2: But they said there's no fracture.
- 25:45Speaker 3: That's awesome. There's a lot of problems that can go
- 25:47Speaker 3: on in the hip. There's a lot of things that
- 25:50Speaker 3: can be going on in the hip. And that's going
- 25:52Speaker 3: to throw off timing all year long for your release
- 25:56Speaker 3: point and the velocity you put on the ball. That's
- 25:58Speaker 3: going to be a problem. I don't know that they
- 26:00Speaker 3: go out and do anything.
- 26:02Speaker 2: What they got to do is run the ball more.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Zarian Price, he's got pop. That dude can move. Boy,
- 26:07Speaker 2: he looks good. And they're going to get Charbonnet back
- 26:10Speaker 2: in the middle of the year. They're going to run
- 26:12Speaker 2: a ton.
- 26:13Speaker 3: I thought my favorite part of last night, even though
- 26:15Speaker 3: the game left a lot to be desired, the internet
- 26:17Speaker 3: did not. You guys see all the amount of Diana Rossini,
- 26:21Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel gifts that I'm waking up to this morning.
- 26:24Speaker 2: I know they're out there. I haven't done a deep
- 26:27Speaker 2: dive yet. It was hot after the game.
- 26:29Speaker 3: It made up for the fact that the entertainment on
- 26:31Speaker 3: the field might not have been great.
- 26:33Speaker 2: The one on the.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Scroll was pretty elite after. The internet was internetting after
- 26:38Speaker 3: that game.
- 26:38Speaker 2: It's funny. It was phenomenal.
- 26:40Speaker 4: I haven't gotten to see a lot of them yet.
- 26:41Speaker 4: I'm sure you'll send me some good ones there.
- 26:44Speaker 3: A couple of Romeo Dobbs and the Patriots looked a
- 26:46Speaker 3: lot like Dajon Love.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Oh, my. That is funny because of the helmet.
- 26:51Speaker 4: Is that the reason? Because of the big helmet? I
- 26:53Speaker 4: see people still talk about it. But more guys are
- 26:55Speaker 4: going to wear that thing.
- 26:56Speaker 2: That and the drop. And the drop, obviously. Dajon Love
- 27:01Speaker 2: when he's running on the beach. The beach one was just.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Who runs with a helmet on the beach amongst Packer fans?
- 27:11Speaker 4: Is there like a schadenfreude with Dobbs that I'm not
- 27:13Speaker 4: catching on to? Maybe there is for some just because
- 27:16Speaker 4: he's not on the Packers anymore, but it's not like
- 27:18Speaker 4: they left for free agency. It wasn't like he said,
- 27:21Speaker 4: I'm holding out or I'm getting out of town or
- 27:24Speaker 4: bad mouth the Packers.
- 27:25Speaker 2: But if I saw a couple like, ah, Dobbs dropped it. Like,
- 27:29Speaker 2: I don't know if I get that.
- 27:29Speaker 3: There was that one suspended conduct detrimental to the team
- 27:33Speaker 3: for not showing up to practice.
- 27:34Speaker 2: When he left that week.
- 27:35Speaker 4: But then he came back and had some touchdowns. And
- 27:37Speaker 4: I thought he generally, for his draft position and what
- 27:39Speaker 4: he cost the Packers, I thought he had a great football.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Played good football for you. He was very productive, no
- 27:44Speaker 2: doubt about it.
- 27:44Speaker 3: But I do, but Armand, I do believe that whether
- 27:48Speaker 3: or not However, you come back off of something like that,
- 27:51Speaker 3: there's going to be detractors for the rest of time
- 27:54Speaker 3: for certain folks. Certain folks are not going to get
- 27:56Speaker 3: over that one. And I think that one was going
- 27:59Speaker 3: to stick in there. And also, I mean, it's somewhat
- 28:03Speaker 3: reminiscent of you go and get the ball in Chicago
- 28:06Speaker 3: and then the playoff game is at home. So I
- 28:08Speaker 3: think that's maybe where more of the frustration in the
- 28:11Speaker 3: Venom for Romeo Dobbs comes from. Not as much from
- 28:14Speaker 3: two years ago, probably more from week 16 in Chicago.
- 28:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I hear that. That's, that's a good point. I mean,
- 28:19Speaker 2: that was a brutal way to end your career.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs should get a call of support from Caleb Durbin.
- 28:24Speaker 1: It's tough here at first, but once you settle in,
- 28:27Speaker 1: it's going to be all right.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Trust me. They're going to like you at some point.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Well, he'll get chances now. I mean, there there's going
- 28:33Speaker 4: to be targets out there for him.
- 28:34Speaker 3: So, well, especially Brown's out for an extended period of time.
- 28:38Speaker 3: They didn't give a ton after the game there is
- 28:40Speaker 3: as they were trying to get on the plane.
- 28:42Speaker 2: And get out.
- 28:42Speaker 3: But This Wednesday night opener left definitely something to be desired.
- 28:47Speaker 3: I'm excited for the Netflix event tonight. And that is
- 28:50Speaker 3: an event like whenever you hit a Netflix game, as
- 28:54Speaker 3: we learned in their MLB coverage, Drew, you don't know
- 28:57Speaker 3: what's going to happen here tonight.
- 28:58Speaker 2: I like it.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Bert Kreischer most likely going to come up with the
- 29:01Speaker 3: shirt off at some point.
- 29:03Speaker 2: They're going to Netflix the hell out of this event.
- 29:05Speaker 5: Yep.
- 29:05Speaker 3: You've got to look up and see what is being
- 29:08Speaker 3: released on Netflix coming up, and then you can probably
- 29:12Speaker 3: guess two or three different cameos that are going to
- 29:14Speaker 3: happen in this massive commercial that happens for.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Two hours before the game in Australia tonight.
- 29:19Speaker 1: That's right. Boy, I wonder what's going to happen with
- 29:22Speaker 1: Darnold with his hip and the imaging.
- 29:26Speaker 2: I thought they said they got good news or something
- 29:28Speaker 2: like that. Well, there's no fracture. That's great news. If
- 29:31Speaker 2: he has a torn.
- 29:32Speaker 1: like labral ligament or something like that, he's out for
- 29:34Speaker 1: the year.
- 29:35Speaker 2: You're done for the year. No doubt about it.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Anything with that hip joint is going to be tough to.
- 29:40Speaker 3: have any real ability to come back from in any
- 29:44Speaker 3: timely process. That's just a dicey spot. There's so much
- 29:49Speaker 3: that's in there that's going to throw off his mechanics
- 29:52Speaker 3: of throwing the football. That's where Locke comes in last night.
- 29:55Speaker 3: He's definitely not great. Threw the ball better than Drake
- 29:58Speaker 3: May did. especially into the fourth quarter, threw the ball
- 30:01Speaker 3: better than Drake May did. So I bet there's going
- 30:03Speaker 3: to be a little bit of confidence there. I did
- 30:05Speaker 3: like Seattle's busting out a new offensive coordinator, having to go.
- 30:09Speaker 2: To the backup quarterback right away.
- 30:11Speaker 3: That shows some stuff, being able to at least move
- 30:14Speaker 3: the ball a little bit. That's the first time a
- 30:16Speaker 3: man's called plays in his life. And Seattle's radio call
- 30:20Speaker 3: was loving it.
- 30:22Speaker 2: There you go.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Elite players are elite players because JSN is elite.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, how.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Will that injury affect all the JSN owners that took
- 30:31Speaker 4: him early in their drafts?
- 30:33Speaker 1: That's the one dude that I'd say, I might take
- 30:35Speaker 1: him over Justin Jefferson. Because for me, it's like Justin
- 30:37Speaker 1: Jefferson's top of the mark. But that dude's like right
- 30:40Speaker 1: up there. He turned on those burners yesterday on that
- 30:43Speaker 1: fourth and one.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 30:45Speaker 4: And sometimes it helps not, you know, if you don't
- 30:48Speaker 4: have your main guy, your backup guy is like, I'm
- 30:49Speaker 4: going to get to whoever's open.
- 30:51Speaker 2: And he's my safety blanket. He's my security blanket. I'm
- 30:53Speaker 2: going to throw in between that one and one every
- 30:55Speaker 2: single time.
- 30:56Speaker 4: Definitely, definitely a factor with that. So it might help
- 30:59Speaker 4: in that sense. You have a guy like that available
- 31:01Speaker 4: to help you through the early struggles when you need something.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:05Speaker 1: So, yeah, Patriots blew that game in a lot of ways.
- 31:07Speaker 1: But you got to you got to knock.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Out the champ. The Internet was saying there was more
- 31:12Speaker 2: more of that happening after the game, though. Yeah.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Oh, I'm telling you, the Rossini videos and the Rossini
- 31:18Speaker 3: gifts were just.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Hilarious.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Also, shout out Mike Tirico. Kind of acknowledging it right
- 31:24Speaker 3: at kickoff.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Drops in.
- 31:25Speaker 3: They show the camera over to Bramley. Goes, a lot
- 31:29Speaker 3: of offseason conversations. Not including football over there with the Patriots.
- 31:34Speaker 1: He must have had a calci bed on himself.
- 31:37Speaker 2: He was trading. He wanted to cash that thing out
- 31:39Speaker 2: right away.
- 31:40Speaker 4: I'm curious because it is interesting that the amount of
- 31:42Speaker 4: certain big media types are telling everybody that people don't
- 31:45Speaker 4: care about it. I'm like, well, people talk about it
- 31:48Speaker 4: and make jokes about it. Whether or not they care,
- 31:50Speaker 4: I don't know if that's your definition. But Colin kept
- 31:53Speaker 4: talking about it yesterday at his show. I was like, 99%
- 31:56Speaker 4: of football fans don't care about that. When we come back,
- 31:58Speaker 4: we'll shift gears back to baseball. Brewers off today.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Everybody gets a day to decompress after a 16-game stretch.
- 32:06Speaker 1: of 16 games in 16 days, and seven games in
- 32:09Speaker 1: 10 days against the always hated but never feared Cubs.
- 32:11Speaker 1: And what was the Brewers' record in those games, Billy?
- 32:14Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. A robust, robust 6-1. No, 5-2.
- 32:19Speaker 3: 5-2, sorry. I thought they sold another one.
- 32:22Speaker 1: 5-2 in the World Series of Milwaukee versus Chicago.
- 32:28Speaker 2: Nine and four overall for the year. Once at their place,
- 32:31Speaker 2: once here. They got it all over the place.
- 32:33Speaker 1: The Cubs did win a series here, two out of three,
- 32:35Speaker 1: but that was it.
- 32:36Speaker 2: You swept them there, though. Swept them here. Call them
- 32:38Speaker 2: your daddy.
- 32:39Speaker 1: When we come back, Hunter Baumgart's recap of last evening's proceedings.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Hunter will join us at 725. Dolph will join us
- 32:45Speaker 1: at 625. He's back in the building. You are in
- 32:49Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 32:51Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Here he comes. And he struck him out. Oh, my goodness.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Thank goodness.
- 33:02Speaker 5: The Brewers walk in the tightrope in the ninth inning.
- 33:06Speaker 5: Cubs get within two. They get within a batter of
- 33:10Speaker 5: their MVP coming up to the plate. But the Brewers win,
- 33:14Speaker 5: and they sweep the Cubs.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I don't know. My palms are sweaty. I don't know
- 33:18Speaker 2: about you.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Our pals from Brewers TV, Brian Anderson, Bill Schroeder, bringing
- 33:25Speaker 1: us back to the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin Brewers.
- 33:28Speaker 1: cap off a wild roller coaster of a ninth inning.
- 33:33Speaker 1: That was way too long.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Unacceptable.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Was I the only one that was wondering if Murph
- 33:38Speaker 3: was going to go get him in a 2-0 count?
- 33:40Speaker 2: Walk in the ballpark. He was fired. He was so frustrated.
- 33:45Speaker 2: He looks over. You ready? Thank God.
- 33:48Speaker 4: I wasn't actually worried the Brewers would lose until it
- 33:50Speaker 4: went 2-0. and the last hitter for Uribe's last. I mean,
- 33:53Speaker 4: then I'm like, okay, he could walk him, and then
- 33:55Speaker 4: we're in trouble.
- 33:56Speaker 2: But that was like, really? We were up 8-1.
- 33:58Speaker 4: I mean, this is the only way I could not
- 34:00Speaker 4: feel good about winning the series against the Cubs.
- 34:02Speaker 2: That was rough. Uribe got it done.
- 34:04Speaker 1: They did finish. Uribe got it done. Off day today
- 34:07Speaker 1: for everybody to rest and recharge.
- 34:09Speaker 2: And they need one, man.
- 34:10Speaker 1: And they need one, but they have obviously a 10-game cushion.
- 34:15Speaker 1: How about that? That was the best-case scenario for the Brewers.
- 34:17Speaker 1: They played seven games in 10 days against the Cubs,
- 34:19Speaker 1: and they won five.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 34:20Speaker 3: It just couldn't be better. Like we said, call him daddy.
- 34:23Speaker 3: The Cubs maybe could have convinced themselves.
- 34:26Speaker 2: It was a race.
- 34:27Speaker 3: If they go five and two, even then, right. Like
- 34:30Speaker 3: even then it would have been tough. Cause they would
- 34:32Speaker 3: have still been what four games back. Cause they walked
- 34:33Speaker 3: in seven.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Correct.
- 34:34Speaker 4: Back.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Correct.
- 34:36Speaker 3: But like, I mean, they had to do what the
- 34:38Speaker 3: Phillies are doing right now. Philly startup, their three game
- 34:40Speaker 3: set to finish off their seven game in 10 day
- 34:43Speaker 3: against Atlanta. And they're three games back, right? Like, I mean,
- 34:46Speaker 3: they're close, not necessarily close enough, as somebody might say,
- 34:50Speaker 3: but you just ran away from them.
- 34:53Speaker 2: And in the midst of it, you just kick some
- 34:56Speaker 2: sand in their face.
- 34:57Speaker 3: When Churio's stealing up 7-0 in the second inning or
- 35:01Speaker 3: third inning. Granted, you needed all the runs. That did
- 35:04Speaker 3: feel like a moment where we're just going to enjoy
- 35:05Speaker 3: this real quick.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
- 35:07Speaker 4: And the other thing is now by giving him the sweep,
- 35:09Speaker 4: you do put that, you know, that kind of pipe dream,
- 35:12Speaker 4: that hope that you plant that seed of the true
- 35:15Speaker 4: ultimate dream, which was the Cubs hit a wild losing
- 35:18Speaker 4: streak here and lose a playoff spot. I don't think
- 35:20Speaker 4: it's very possible or likely or anything when you really
- 35:23Speaker 4: look at the numbers.
- 35:24Speaker 2: But wouldn't that be the ultimate? You want to talk
- 35:26Speaker 2: about the Internet?
- 35:27Speaker 4: That would be a fun winter on the internet if
- 35:29Speaker 4: the Cubs had such a dramatic collapse that they fell
- 35:32Speaker 4: all the way out of a wild card spot. Again,
- 35:35Speaker 4: it's very unlikely here still. Their magic number is 13
- 35:38Speaker 4: as of today to get a playoff spot. But it
- 35:42Speaker 4: could happen now. And if it does happen, wouldn't that
- 35:45Speaker 4: be the most.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Glorious thing to happen? That would be awesome.
- 35:49Speaker 1: What's glorious is that we have a Hunter Baumgart recap
- 35:51Speaker 1: of last evening's proceedings. Let's take a listen. Brought to
- 35:55Speaker 1: us by Import Minded. Take it away, Hunter.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Thanks, guys.
- 36:00Speaker 6: How sweet it is. The Brewers sweep the Cubs at
- 36:02Speaker 6: home for the first time since June of 2021. And
- 36:07Speaker 6: they win it 8-6. Got a little dicey in that
- 36:09Speaker 6: ninth inning. A lot more stressful than I think we
- 36:12Speaker 6: wanted it to be. But the good news is PCA
- 36:15Speaker 6: didn't come up again. And that might not have been good.
- 36:18Speaker 6: But either way, let's not focus on that. Let's focus
- 36:20Speaker 6: on the Brewers taking five of seven in this seven
- 36:23Speaker 6: games in 10-day stretch between the two clubs. The Brewers
- 36:27Speaker 6: taking the season series.
- 36:28Speaker 5: Of course.
- 36:29Speaker 6: And now they are a franchise record tying 35 games over.
- 36:33Speaker 6: 500 at 91-56. And they are rolling. Magic number to
- 36:36Speaker 6: clinch the NL Central sits at five. The soonest they
- 36:39Speaker 6: could do that is Sunday, depending on the results of
- 36:42Speaker 6: Friday and Saturday. It's going to be a real fun
- 36:46Speaker 6: weekend at American Family Field against the Cincinnati Reds. And then,
- 36:49Speaker 6: of course, they go on the three-city road trip. Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Philly,
- 36:53Speaker 6: and then at home against St.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Louis.
- 36:54Speaker 6: And that is the end of the regular season. But
- 36:57Speaker 6: the Brewers have already won 91 games. We're sitting here
- 36:59Speaker 6: on September 10th. Logan Henderson with another solid start. He
- 37:03Speaker 6: continues to be dynamite. And the offense was alive early
- 37:07Speaker 6: with the home runs. Christian Yelich, Jackson Churio again, William Contreras.
- 37:12Speaker 6: getting the Brewers out in front, and they really never
- 37:15Speaker 6: looked back until the ninth inning. But then they still
- 37:18Speaker 6: looked forward because Abner Uribe was able to get the
- 37:21Speaker 6: final out against Murray. So, off day today. First off
- 37:25Speaker 6: day in a long time. They just went through a
- 37:27Speaker 6: 16-game in 16-day stretch. Then tomorrow, Friday. It's a 6.45
- 37:33Speaker 6: first pitch on Apple TV. I'll be talking to Tricia
- 37:36Speaker 6: Whitaker of Apple TV, and we'll be able to get
- 37:38Speaker 6: you that interview coming up tomorrow. They have the broadcast
- 37:41Speaker 6: of Brewers Reds tomorrow night. We're still waiting on the
- 37:43Speaker 6: starters for the weekend. I'll join you guys at 7.25
- 37:46Speaker 6: to talk more about the crew. This report brought to
- 37:49Speaker 6: you by Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle
- 37:51Speaker 6: care on South 27th, just north of 894. Back to
- 37:54Speaker 6: you guys.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Hunter B.
- 37:59Speaker 2: That's going to be good.
- 37:59Speaker 3: I'm excited for him to be able to chop it
- 38:01Speaker 3: up with Tricia and give us a little lowdown there
- 38:03Speaker 3: on the Apple TV broadcast.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Those are always fun. Always a fun convo. Absolutely.
- 38:07Speaker 1: All right, Steve in the 608 hits us up.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Come on, Steve. What's up?
- 38:10Speaker 1: You know, we keep talking about PCA being the MVP.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Sure didn't show me anything against the Brewers. Shouldn't have
- 38:15Speaker 1: to play well. Shouldn't he have to play well against
- 38:17Speaker 1: a good team to be considered? I'm not impressed with PCA.
- 38:20Speaker 4: Oh, OK.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Steve, you can die on that hill yourself because it's
- 38:23Speaker 1: going to be a lonely, lonely existence. Yeah, it's going
- 38:25Speaker 1: to be a guy hit a home run the other night.
- 38:27Speaker 1: He had a couple of hits and scored a couple
- 38:29Speaker 1: of runs in this series. It wasn't totally shut down.
- 38:31Speaker 1: The Brewers are kind of like his kryptonite. He hit
- 38:34Speaker 1: the Brewers this series better than he did all year, right?
- 38:36Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 38:36Speaker 3: His numbers were far better this series than that. The
- 38:40Speaker 3: other thing is, like, and whether or not, I mean,
- 38:44Speaker 3: I would disagree with that notion. I think Pete's a
- 38:47Speaker 3: hell of a player, and he very much deserves it
- 38:49Speaker 3: this year. The other thing is the guy that was
- 38:51Speaker 3: right behind him is now on the I.L. So, I mean,
- 38:54Speaker 3: as much as you could say, wouldn't he have to
- 38:57Speaker 3: show it, right now he's just got to show up
- 38:59Speaker 3: because the other guy can't. The other guy's out in
- 39:01Speaker 3: Otani and has been somewhat MIA for last month. Whether
- 39:07Speaker 3: or not it was just his at-bats and lack of
- 39:10Speaker 3: being able to pitch definitely slid down the dinosaur. I
- 39:13Speaker 3: think the other part, and maybe the better conversation would be, Drew,
- 39:17Speaker 3: could you see and forecast a Jackson Shurio season that
- 39:21Speaker 3: Pete Crow Armstrong had this year? And from what you're seeing,
- 39:24Speaker 3: I absolutely can. Do I think he's going to play
- 39:27Speaker 3: the elite of the elite center field or defense like
- 39:30Speaker 3: Pete Crow Armstrong can?
- 39:32Speaker 2: Probably not.
- 39:35Speaker 3: But If you go 40 homers and 30 stolen bases,
- 39:38Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to matter, right? I think
- 39:40Speaker 3: he's going to have offensively the ability to have the
- 39:42Speaker 3: exact same pop that you do there from PCA. The
- 39:46Speaker 3: big part of what his numbers are, and Armin can
- 39:48Speaker 3: explain the war stuff to you because I don't know
- 39:49Speaker 3: how they have– His war is a nine. I don't
- 39:51Speaker 3: know how it gets calculated. They don't know either because
- 39:53Speaker 3: they have two different versions of it, so it can't
- 39:55Speaker 3: be a very good stat if you have to have
- 39:56Speaker 3: two separate versions of it.
- 39:58Speaker 2: That's a fair point, actually.
- 39:59Speaker 3: But– Either way, like his defensive metrics, he's that guy
- 40:04Speaker 3: when it comes to defense.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Very, very good.
- 40:05Speaker 4: That's where a lot of his value, not that his bad,
- 40:07Speaker 4: I mean, he's leading the league in OPS, but a
- 40:08Speaker 4: lot of his value also comes from the defense, what
- 40:11Speaker 4: he can do in center field, which is, I mean,
- 40:14Speaker 4: he has a couple of awkward moments sometimes in the
- 40:16Speaker 4: naked eye. You know, you think about the White Sox one.
- 40:19Speaker 4: But he gets to balls, even last night's Yellich one.
- 40:21Speaker 4: I mean, he gets to balls that most guys never
- 40:24Speaker 4: even dream of having a chance to. So that's, you're right, Billy,
- 40:26Speaker 4: we're a lot of the value. Yeah, that's the frustrating one.
- 40:28Speaker 4: We're all saying, oh, that's a gapper.
- 40:29Speaker 2: No, it's not.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Janie and Appleton, I thought I was going to have
- 40:32Speaker 3: a heart attack watching the ninth inning. I do believe, hope, pray,
- 40:36Speaker 3: that we've seen the last of Brandon Sprout. Good thing
- 40:39Speaker 3: the Scrubs, we got to the Scrubs early and often.
- 40:42Speaker 3: I do love the council cam. Janie, I'm with you.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Brandon Sprout, keep them tight pants and get them ready
- 40:47Speaker 3: for 2027. I'm all good on seeing Brandon Sproat again.
