  Speaker 2: Morning, Drew, Good morning, great morning after the Brewers one
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to wait in fashion they did. That was pretty exciting.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So how about excited for a Tuesday? How about that one? Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and didn't have to manipulate any games like Malik Beasley
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to get there. Oh my, that was pretty good. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we have a lot to say. You're gonna tease it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: all today, aren't you? What else? Are you gonna tease?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: What else? What else?
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: How about painful losses like what the Germans suffered last night.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I watched that You're being Soccer taking some brutal hits
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: last night. And a crazy day for world soccer, world football,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: as some say, and I don't know this is just
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: NBA movement. There's a lot going on actually this summer,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: which is not always the case, but there seems to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: be a lot going on. So it's gonna be a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: fantastic day, Drew a fantastic show here in the huddle,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: sans Billy, who's enjoying his week off with the family,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: of course, and wish him well. But I'll tell you, Drew,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Billy can't tear himself away from it very long always.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And the reason I know that is because I'm getting
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of I still get the messages from from Billy,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like make sure you didn't miss this? Did you see this?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Armin out this? So he's you know, some guys are
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: like unplugged on vacation, and some guys that's me. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: try to I know you do a really good job
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: at that. I don't feel Billy unplugs ever, I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I think Billy is the plug.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: You've got you Obviously you've seen a reduction in Twitter
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: d ms of funny stories are noteworthy interviews. Right although
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: you are on your burner? Is anybody are we starting?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Should I follow your burner now? Should I like be
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: texting that m you could?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I have a Burner account and might make it my account, although.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Don't give it out publicly yet you want to? Don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: want to do that right now?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Well, Laura gave me the idea that since my hacker,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: by the way, they got Pipe last night, did you
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: see that they did?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Pipe got hacked as well by the same same person
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that Pipe, so that he probably he probably clicked the Aeron.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Sims definitely did because he loves, loves trusts Aeron. It's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: not the most cautious amongst us. I was talking a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: hunter could get caught by this. But my hacker is
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: now totally commingdeered my Twitter account to what it where.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: It's not even my name anymore, it's on my handle.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Everything's been changed. So I'm wondering if my att armand
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: sorry and handle is available because mine's been changed to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Rocketman three two four seven. Yeah, but usually it's it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: connected to the original, right, Yeah, usually, So I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: know if I can do that. So that's my last
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: thing to figure out. Once I figure that out, yes
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: or no, I'll move forward with a new account. But uh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. You gotta get back on
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the horse. You gotta you know, I hate to say it,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: but you gotta raise a new puppy. I mean, that's
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the way it goes, and that's just the way it is.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So that's the cycle of life, of Twitter life. But
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they got Pipe last night. Everyone out there, Pipe has
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: been hacked. I think you can figure it out by
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: by looking at it. It's all crypto and all crypto.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Although Pipe only got a range Rower. I got a
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Maybach and a Cardier watch and yeah, Rolex, so come on,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: who's the man out of here? Love it? We love
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you Pipe. But he's out there and he got to him.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Yes, might be moving forward with a new
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: account very very soon, and if so, please follow me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: We'll make it publicity. Yeah, we'll make it publicity. All right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: So we've got so much to get to. As you mentioned,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Armon Brewers win last night five three. They open a
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: series against the Reds and a losing streak of two
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: games after losing the Cubs paradigm shift. Cubs also won
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: a walk off, an impressive walk off, say a Suzuki
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: walking off Mason Miller.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Pretty good theater. Yeah, they're starting to figure it out.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: There's a pretty theater at Wrigley.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: But Brewers won a game because they got a hit
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: with a runner in scoring position, not just a hit,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: a home run with a runner in scoring position. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: it was by the most unlikely of heroes, Joey O
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Joey Ortiz. How can you not be romantic about baseball
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: when a guy who scuffled and slumped so badly they
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: lost his starting job. But he stuck with it, persevered,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: and when the opportunity arose, smacked one over.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The wall that he give the Brewers a win. Some
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: of the most lovable brus history went through these things,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and I remember the excitement of when they would break
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: out of it, or at least get a moment for themselves.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I know Bill Hall had a long one after that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: great season. He had a long kind of slump, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I remember Corey Hart had the same thing. Other guys,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: did you know guys go through slumps all the time,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Dree as you know in baseball, But Joey Ortiz is different,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: right because he's always been kind of like like last
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: couple of other light hitter, right, everyone's always kind of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: lamented him as being the hole in the lineup, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a guy like me, Drew, I gotta be honest with you,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I can totally relate. You know. I had those same
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: troubles throughout my youth baseball career in little league I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: could never rid. But when you get one, when that
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: guy gets one, everybody's happy for him. And now only
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: gets one at a very important watershed juncture for the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Brewers coming back to win the way they did. Didn't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: want to lose three in a row. They didn't want
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to have another night where you were unfulfilled in terms
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: of trying to get you know, trying to get runners
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: home in scoring position. The rally started in the sixth
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: after being down three to zero, got a couple on
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the board, rang of chorus tied it up and the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: fact that Joey o gets it and to see his exuberance,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the relief, the burden lifted off his shoulders when he
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: rounded the bases, screaming at the ball as he goes
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to the first go go go. You know, you just
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: can't help it feel good for the guy because, like
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you said, Drew, he's been through a tumultuous kind of
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a time. Like it's a lot of adversity, and not
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to not to be too you know, sappy about it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Make a movie out of it. It's just one Homer.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: But you know, he never gave up. He went out
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: there with this in with his opportunity that he had
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: got it, pitch and drove it and he looked up
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and it was gone. And what a great feeling and
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a great moment for the hym but more importantly to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: get a hero for the Brewers, who you know, that
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: was a significant comeback win. I would say, Drew, you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: didn't want to start keep skidding, you didn't want the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Cubs to start to gain any belief in momentum. Yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they came back to win, so you you know, you
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: hold them back another one and then you get then
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you get the Reds again today.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: So yeah, gasher pitched, well, you know it's pretty solid.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Start them are fine. We would take that, Ellie, I'll
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: take it or whatever. Yeah, you know you'll take it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: But you're right just a for thes just like a
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: weight was lifted for our teas and just with the
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: runners in scoring posiness, because he was zero for two
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: with runners and scoring position earlier. And is it bats right,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: oh for three going into the home run it back.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: That sounds right. Yeah, And so man, the burs, Yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they've been awful lately. But then his attitude.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: You look at his quotes after and we'll hear Hunter's
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: report probably coming up in the next segment or so.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: I'm blessed to be in the big leagues, whether I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: playing short every day or playing third and then moving
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: to short when they need me. A lot of people
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: in this world would kill to be in my position.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I'm happy to be here.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I love that. That's the gratitude you need. That's the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: attitude and the gratitude that you need. You know, some
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: people will say, maybe I mean the most the most
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: heart amongst us would say, well, it's a terrible aal.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't just be happy to be there, you should
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you should try and achieve it. Let listen. And then
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that's an attitude of gratitude that we're happy Joey has
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and he knows and.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Then yeah, gratitude. I like that, and then uh.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: A stereo Hernon Perez all had those.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Cuts, Yeah, but they hadn't had long stretches where they
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: were starters and entrenched. And then asked about Cooper Pratt,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Joey Artist said, I had an idea what was going
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: to happen once he signed the extension. He's such a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: great player. He's very much deserving the money and the position.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: He's going to be a great brewer for a long time.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I can already tell my job is to just take
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: care of what the team needs. Wow, what a fantastic attitude.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Might run out and buy himself a shirt. See now,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I mean you're inspired. Yes I am. I should do that,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Drew like promise will be on sale eventually. No, that
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: that's a fantastic attitude.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: That's one.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: And where is Cooper Pratt's locker in the locker room?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Probably right next to him, right right next right between
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: orties and turn.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And and and and let me tell you something, an
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: organization recognizes when you had that attitude and you're a leader,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and that's invaluable. It's going to be invaluable because one
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: day he'll need a job after baseball and maybe.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I didn't see any orties, never pouted or anything. He's
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: just a positive duty. He's one of those guys that
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: handled this well. Others might not have in similar situations.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Other players are bristled.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: But definitely many have and and he'd have the he'd
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: have the I mean, Aaron comes to mind, a great example,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Aaron like, hey.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: We want you go to the pen. Now, I want
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: to go to the White Sox. Okay, we'll let you
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: spring Andrew Vaughn and he's gonna rake for us.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Considering how good Joy is defensively too, I want to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I would say he has cause to be upset if
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you would, but you can see a little bit of him.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I still play this position great. I might be a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: light hitter, I might be inconsistent at the play. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: might frustrate, but when it comes to you know, when
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: it comes to getting in the dirt and playing this
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: position defensively, it's hard to say. There are many better.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So the value totally changes when you look at him
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: as a utility infielder defensive all of a sudden, all
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's a weapon. He's fine, yeah, yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden he becomes a weapon in a way.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: So it's it's pretty good, and I still can't shake that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: It's much like when Keston had his great rookie year.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I can't shake that great you know. He was a
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: pretty good hitter his first year. Yeah, you know, so,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's ever in him again to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: be that guy. Probably not.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: But you five o'clock clubbers can check in at eight seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: one ninety seven to three. That gets you in to
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the nicolay lot dot com talk in text line five o'clock.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: We just it's more chopping it up, casual full disclosure.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I say, yeah, we'll do some buying. It's selling on.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Starting at six o'clock. Bill Schroeder is going to join
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: us today for Berce TV. We'll talk to him about
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: last night's proceedings. Interesting night in baseball always is. Yankees
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: are scuffling one month into Aaron Judges, their offense is
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: worse than the Brewers. They've had four straight games where
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: they've scored three runs or.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Three hits or less. They have twelve. They have twelve
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: hits in four games, which is incredible considering their lineup,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that they can ever go through it. Well yeah, well
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: without Stanton and without Judge, right or not good, they're
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: not the same, not the same.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: So they have like careening off the tracks and they
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: have like a month left until Judge gets back at
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the earliest. So yeah, fun baseball, man, gotta love it,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: gotta love it, you gotta strap in.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But the purst that I'm with you, that was a
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: big win. Now.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: The other thing to consider is talk about Joey O
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: and the redemption story. I don't know if people are
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: paying that close attention, but Trevor McGill is also redemption story.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Great point those games he blew up in April and
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: everybody's like he's done, get him out of there, use
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: your rebae, and then slowly he kind of got another
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: chance to close it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Now he's back to be in pretty nails. Another example
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: in baseball, discretion the better part of valor, as they say,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you know, not making those courts, making the rash.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Of course, sedul and emotional regression of the mean is
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: so baked into my whole DNA now watching sports is that. Yeah,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: streaks are part of it. There's no doubt. You know
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: arm and I when you go to Vegas, if you
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: said it, and when armand when you sit with your
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: ten dollars budgeted for the blackjack table, you just know
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: that you're gonna there's gonna be a time when you
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: win four or five hands in a row, and that's
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the time to walk away, because there's gonna come a
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: time when you gonna lose four four hands in a
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: row and you gotta get smoked, and the guy's gonna
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: pull seven cards to twenty one and you're gonna sit
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: there and swear at the gods, and you know that's
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: just what happens. So a guy like McGill, barring injury,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: because that's always the clouding factor. But barring injury, guys
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: tend to hover around the same level where they've been.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: There are outliers and they'll have spikes. Kestanira had a
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: one year spike. Bill Hall had a spike ended up
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: making him some money.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I think Bowers is in the midst of a spike.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Bowers is in the midst of a spike. Is he
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: is this the player?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: He is?
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Is this the baseline or is this a flash of ear?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: You can make a case, Christian Yell, it's spiked in
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. Yeah, right, yes, and then
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: injuries kind of hurt derailed him a little bit. But
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: but but he still operates from a baseline. It's just
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: low to him.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: It's lower than those two years when he was otherworldly,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: like best player on the planet.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Good, But he's practically otani like in two years and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: he's never had but even since he's never had nos
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: of unders.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but he's a solid player, but he's
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: not at that level. And that's like the it's the graph,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: you know, It's like you have a baseline and then
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: you have some some moves above it, below it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like a stock. Granted though bullpen pitchers
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and closers, they tend to be more inconsistent.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: They go, they tend to have good year, bad year. Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: there's no doubt, no doubt. Well, Jared kaneing like, well,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: and we have to look at and this is something
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: for Rock too, the Brewers, Like we think about their
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: pitching lab and they're so good and their whiz kids
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: and they find ways to unlock guys. They've they've cracked
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the code. It more on like psychology than maybe physiology,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: just like getting guys to be themselves and relax and
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: be the best version of themselves.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: The culture. Their culture is of that right, so that
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: that part of it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: But we are they the blueprint for the modern twenty
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: game winner. Aaron Ashby's got eleven wins eighty two games
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: into the season.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Hilarious.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: He could be the first twenty game winner in a
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: long time pitching and relief. Would that be the most
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: stunning development? Of course, it's all like Luck, He's vultured
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: up a couple of ridiculous wins. But it's a lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: of circumstance, right, It's funny. You got to talk about
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: it though, because he's on pace, right, you have to.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable. It's a lot of circumstance. People say,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: like you said, Luck, I did circumstance. It's a lot
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: of circumstances. But he's also gotten out at the right time.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, here's the thing that you need to know.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: The Brewers were a base hit away from making Joel
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Kunall a winning picture on Sunday when he pitched horribly
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: great example.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: It just shows you the wood laws record. As for
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: a picture, yeah, for a picture.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Dave from Arizona, I mean a day from Arkansas checking
• 15:43

  Speaker 2: And every mom and travel ball, every little league mom
• 16:22

• 16:24
  Speaker 2: you just can't do it. Timmy, all right, I know
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I've been there, Bears. The first time you get it hit.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: The place catches a ball in the outfield, they go crazy.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: My only extra bass hitting the history of Media League.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I got a triple once. It was absolutely absolute. Pandemonian
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: drew your only extra bass hits.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: So lord, you're you're a pretty scrappy, fast guy.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of singles, no doubles and maybe once it's
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: hard to get, but you know how softball is. It's
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: hard to get a lot of extra bass hits, you know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: especially at Juno on But if you unless you hit
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: it on Blue Mount, you know the good time. So
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Paul feeling great today. What a difference of comeback victory
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: can do with the boers and US fans? Andy on
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Facebook checking in early this is interesting. Maybe this is
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: better for buy yourself. Maybe I should say it, but
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: we'll do it now. Has anyone else had enough of
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: drone cam at home games? I'm feeling dizzy enough already.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: See I like that. Well. I think that's one of
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the things they've done with this new production team that
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I've been impressed with. The production has been pretty good,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and the drone cam is an easy winner. It harkens
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: me back to the days of the Goodyear blimp providing
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: those great pictures. Drew remember that? And then there was
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: a small plane, the Miller Plane. Do you remember those days?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when they switched from the blimp to a
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: plane and I had like the Miller high life logos
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: all over it. I love that Vinnie for Makwan checking
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: in mach One's in the Club bon Journal. He says,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: all right, Vinnie, little Italian, right this morning? Not bad,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: not bad. So the five o'clock club is going drew everybody,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: everybody excited to get up when it's eighty to in
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the morning.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, How did you manage the heat yesterday?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Well, we're lucky, we I mean, we have the AC
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and everything like that, so it wasn't hard for us.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Although stepping outside is like stepping into an oven after
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a while and you're like, wow, I did get a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: walk indrue, but I considerably shortened it up yesterday. After
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the show. It was like eleven o'clock and I'm like, man,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it is pretty hot out here. So I only went
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: about two and a half three miles. I was like,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: all right, gonna, I was gonna go five. And I
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I'm not gonna pass out today.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Let's let's not make that. Let's not take carry water
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: with you. I had a water before and after conundrum
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: when you walk with the water is like then you
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: gotta go. They're gonna go to the bathroom. Then what
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: am I gonna do? You know? When it's this hot. Yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: it's probably right. I could have probably sweat it out.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: That's that's probably true. But it's definitely you know, it's it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: It hits you in the face though, when you're not
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: used to it, when you when you're used to seventy
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: eight degree days and you think that's hot in the sun,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: which it is, and then you get ninety two with
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the humidity. All right, that's like a punch in the face.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: That's like opening the oven when you're roasting your potatoes
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and it gets you. But that's all right, that's summertime.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Break the sprinklers out, the splash pad, splash pad. Yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: love it, love it. We're off and running.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Please reach out to us eight seven seven seven nine
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: four one ninety seven three. We're gonna touch on Malik Beasley.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: We're gonna touch on the little World Cup action. Because
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: a couple of crushing victories. I mean, if you're if
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: you're a fan of Germany, and I am heavily, heavily
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: German in my background, and you know, I can't say
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I was a fan of them and I was rooting
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: for them, but I watched that game with interest, and
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: that was a really tough loss. They had a winning
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: goal disallowed after review in extra time, then they lost
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: on penalty kicks. Those are gonna be hard to live with.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about that. I know people don't like
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: the gimmick of the penalty kick, but it's high drama
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: and at the World Cup, it doesn't get much better
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: than that, you know, much cleaner. Yeah, it's pretty wild,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: so we'll dive into all that as well.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: We're glad you're hanging out with us.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Bill Schroeder is going to join us scott Dolphins about
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: an hour away. We'll have Hunter Bombguard's recap when we
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: come back as well. Thanks for getting up early, early risers,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: insomniacs and socio pass It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Tea.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Wait, Joey Bore he needed.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: How can you not be romantic about baseball? Brewers TV
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: the clip, Jeff Levering and r pal. Bill Schroeder, who's
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: going to join us today two hours from now.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Rocks outed like a proud dad.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: There.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: He needed that, so did the whole team. I mean,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: they had a hitters meeting. They have a hitters meeting
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: at the start of every series.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: But Murphy.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I had to go in and like try to you know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: focus the troops. And it wasn't just hey, hit the ball.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because everybody makes fun of how
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: little they think that hitting coaches can impact things, right, sure,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: but it's psychologists.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That's what it is. A lot of times, it's trying
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: to change motivation, it's trying to change the mood, it's
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: trying to change the approach. May exactly it seemed like
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: sal for example, his approach changed a little bit where
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a little back to basics. He started spraying
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: opposite field. There's a small part of it, you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: it's like you see, maybe just but it's a mentality thing.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: It's a psychology thing, like you said, Drew, Yeah, you
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: know it's yeah, yeah, it's.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Just hitting is contagious. Not hitting is contagious. Like streaks happen,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: they ebb and flow, and you know, it looks like
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: terrang might be getting hot. We mentioned that he had
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: three hits on Sunday, a couple of bloops, not exactly
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: like ropes. But it doesn't matter, especially when you're slumping,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: because part of being a part of being in a slump,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: most guys in slumps, like there are some guys who
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: just are pulling off the ball and not making contact.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: When Yelich goes into slumps, it's a series of just
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: weak ground and rollovers right and then he starts to
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: smack it the middle of the field or the other way,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: and you go, oh, he's coming out of it. Well,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: just that little bloop that goes through, because most slumps
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: include one hundred and nine mile an hour rockets right
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: at people.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: At them balls. They call them right it ared, right
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: out of the flock balls, Yeah, and those are that's you.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Know, the thing about baseball, It's the thing about sports
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: is that you think you can do everything right. You
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: can have the perfect swing, perfect approach, perfect pitch selection,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: and you hit a liner right at the short step,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: almost decapitates him, but you're out. Whereas you can get
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: one right on your thumbs, shatter your bat and if
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: flares and a duck farts over the third basement's head,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: and that's a hit, that's success. And the one hundred
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: and nine mile veil, as hard as you can hit
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: a ball, that's failure. You know, that's that's a great point.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: So that's the sport that's wired in.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And when you get the result, you When you don't
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: get the result you want, you always question process, whether
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: or not it's logical or not. You tell yourself, gosh,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: what am I doing wrong? And sometimes you're not doing
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: any wrong, and when you're not, you don't get the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: result you want, then you get really frustrated, or you
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: can be like Andrew Vaughan who in the span of
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: a week, Drew, I can think of two off the
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: top of my head, had another one last night, kind
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: of a high chopper down the line, was a triple
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the other day, and last night it was off kind
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of off a glove. But the first one was off
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: of the base. Last night's was kind of off the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: glove and turned into a double. So sometimes you get
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: those right. So it's it's trying to manage expectations, focus
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: on process and that results, which is very hard though
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: for hitters, because it's it's the most mentally taxing thing
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: to do in sports is to hit hit a baseball.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: So as as you astutely pointed out, yes, Drew, it's
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: mostly psychological, yep. And when these guys had that those
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: type of meetings, there's a lot of ways to handle it,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: and one way to handle it is probably worth coming
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: in and say go hit better, you know something?
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, something, Well just grind through the bats. Yeah again,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: like just kind of just go back to basics. Just
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: go you know you're spitting on your hand two strike approach.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: You're right, you can change your two strike approach and
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: be in a more defensive kind of posture. But the
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: best hitting comes when you're just loose and you know aggressive.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Pete Rose, you said control aggression.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: When Pete Rose is on the set, they would give
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the controlled aggression when Pete Rose was on the set
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and t when he was doing TV, they would always
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: have those clips of him talking to a Rod and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Frank Thomas. Everyone loved those when they were off camera.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And I remember him saying, once your swing got you
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: to the big leagues, don't change that. Just change your
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: approach in the box, change your position, change that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Where are you in the box, moving up, move away
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: from the play, closer to the play, up back, but
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: keep the same swing. Easier said than the.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Easier said than done, Especially when you're Pete Rose and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: your swing's worked it for a long time. It's easier
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: to being done, but it's a it's a point while taken.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I think for a lot of these guys.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: So storylines last night, Joey Ortiz the redemption arc of
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: and the Bruis is not finally getting a run in
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: a hit with runners and scoring position. It's a homer
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: and it's by Joey Ortiz. Wild that's a novel thing,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: not a novel thing to see Ashby get a victory.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: He's eleventh victory. That's part of the process for him.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Redemption stories not just Ortist, but Chad Patrick solid outing sure,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: And then we mentioned McGill who had been struggling, had
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: a couple of back to back clunkers in April, loses
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: the closer job temporarily and now he's back and looks
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: like he's right back to where he was being like
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: kind of all star caliber again.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Which is a huge development for the Birds because that's
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: us your rebay has been pretty consistent too, so they
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: had those guys in the back.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: The other story last night was Dane Myers, the center
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: fielder from the Reds.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Wow Yes, who made.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: A spectacular catch in the fourth inning, take that hit
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: away from Vaughan, extra base hit away from Vaughn, who's
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: suddenly a speed demon on the basis, but that he
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: crashed it into the wall and was you could tell
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: he was messed up, right it was. I couldn't tell.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I watched it and it's like, ooh, is that his neck?
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: His shoulder, his back is everything? His arm taken to
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: a local hospital. No X rays were negative. At the
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: ballpark x rays were negative. But he was taking the
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: house because he was so uncomfortable and it's so much pain.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: He is going to be Uh, he'sn't messed up. That
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: was a violent, violent collision.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Violent collision, and it looked like maybe they were in
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: the dislocation territory. I'm not a doctor, but it was
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: an incredible catch, shocking he held onto it. It was
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: in that part of the wall that goes a little
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: deeper drew and I was thinking to myself because his
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: arm was kind of flying out when he made the catch,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: how amazing it was that he held onto the ball
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: because his arm was totally free and wasn't able to
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: brace himself for impact. And the the awkward spot where
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: he landed into the wall reminded me who was the
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia Phillies player that smashing the wall and caught that
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: ball and busted his face up because he kind of
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: had to go blind in the wall? Was it rowinged? Maybe?
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I don't, I can't, I can't, but just I was
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: thinking of all the great catches we've seen in the stadium,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: and there have been some amazing catches. Carlos Gomez, Lorenzo Caine,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: and Mike Cameron had some great catches, but I can't
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: remember that many that involved the pain and violence and
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: the injury like I remember bad injuries. Jeff Jenkins when
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: he busted his eggs, Oh yeah, it was. It was gross.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: All eight thousand fans heard him screaming. Yeah, there weren't
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: that many in the park that night, and wasn't that empty?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I maybe I'm wrong, but it felt like it was.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: It felt like it was those days. And I don't
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: remember a catch in that park that's as good with
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that much force and like unfortunately injury and it was
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: just an incredible, incredible play made and.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: It kid the kid last night was running I think
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: like eighteen miles an hour.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Speed into the wall but also was stumbling to get
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: it and so therefore he had a fall kind of
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: into the wall.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: He had no there was no protection, no At.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: First, I thought there was like gonna be a neck
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: It was gonna be a neck thing almost, That's what
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I thought.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it might have been in a stinger or but
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: he looked like he was holding his shoulder. You're right,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: it might have been a dislocation, but they would have
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: announced that probably.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Sure. I think whatever it is, he's messed up. Man.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: That was like he was an obvious pain and still
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: messed up. So pretty wild interesting, uh. Sidebar or stat
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: from last night, the Brewers in the division after losing
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: two to the Cubs. Brews are thirteen and five against
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: NL Central foes. The Reds are four and eighteen. That
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: tells a lot of the story right there, doesn't it.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's all, And it's kind of remarkable. They
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: haven't played more division games, that's the first thing.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I think of it. That's true. They are backloaded, for sure.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: But that's the schedule now, is less division games or
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: at least that Yes, as you said, backloaded, So that's
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the schedule now. But that tells you all the story
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: you need to tell, or all the part of the
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: story you need to tell. Right there.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: JT in Sussex on the talking text line, good to
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: start this Tuesday on a positive note with Joey Ortiz
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: and a dinger need to get a powerball ticket.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: It does feel like that, doesn't it when he gets one,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: when he runs into one, and it was a pretty
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: decent pitch, but he kind of golfed it out and
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: he put a lot into that swing because he kind
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: of was stumbling into it. But man, the relief on
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Joey Ortiz's face. I think we've all had a moment
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: like that in life. We can all relate to that
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: moment in some some way, somehow, some facet of life.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: When he was just watching him screaming at the ball, go,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: go Go. What a feeling that must have been. So
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a fantastic moment, Joey Ortiz being the hero. You know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: he has not had many nights like that, and he
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: won't have many, let's be fair. But last night was
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: that moment and he had it. That was his moment
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: in the sun justin Jacksonville. Cal Ripken used to change
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: of stance and position in the box with his time
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: when he was in a slump. Yeah, like you said, Drew,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: it's just that mental change, right. It looked at just
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: that mental change you need sometimes to do it. Brian Gorman,
• 29:36

• 30:18
  Speaker 4: it's amazing that people actually watch us harmon. It's how
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: it's how media is consume these days. YouTube is everything.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it always works, that's one thing. It never skied,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: seems that's true. They have a problem. So it's one
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: way to do it. And people love the sea. Love
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the sea too, you know. I think that's that's what
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: it is. For some reason. You know, Radio Drew used
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: to be the imagination medium, you know, the theater of
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the mind. But not anymore, not anymore. See us, guys,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: here we are. I'm in a Blue Brewer shirt. There
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Arms, Yeah, wearing his Blue Brewer. Blue Brewers win last
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: night five three. Again, that's a good start to the weekend.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: They're in this stretch, man, They're good. It's gonna feel.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Like a brutal stretch here. Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna feel like.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: A the end of a race to get to the
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: All Star break, right because they got they leave and
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: after Thursday they go on a two week trip or
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: a ten day trip that if you're in the All
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Star Game, is a two week trip before they come
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: back home. So it's gonna feel that. There's gonna be
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: times where it feels like you're sputtering and weezing. But
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of teams like that right now. It's
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the dog days early. The dog days have arrived early,
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: and it's like this stretch of fifteen games and fourteen
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: days or whatever it is. When they get that doubleheader
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: in Saint Louis and man, the Cubs had back to
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: back rainouts. That's going to hurt them later in the year.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I think so too. Yeah, now they've been playing better
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: in this stretch, so I'm sure they're happy with getting
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the games in. But well they had it recently they
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: had the double header, but yes, they've had that. So
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: it's kind of getting through the dog days the stretch,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: as you mentioned, drew into the break and trying to
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: play your best ball, not just get through it, but
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: trying to play your best ball during it. And you
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: know not not to be you know, not to forget
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: not only the grind of a baseball season, but the
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: mental grind for guys like Contreras and Jackson Curio about
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the situation of Venezuela. So there's a lot of mind
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: for a lot of these guys throughout a season. So
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's the stretch to get through. And I
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: think when you deal with something like this, this type
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: of schedule and this type of stretch, you're happy you're
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the team that has the fifty one wins, the first place,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the record, the equity built up the hay in the
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: barn because sometimes you're gonna need that cushion, and that's
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: why the Brewers build it in case they have a slump.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: But it's uh spro tonight, right, Drew, So the Brot
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: pitching tonight against Rett Louder. You want to get a
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: new streak started, and you've been able to eat against
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the Reds, so let's continue that meal, hopefully at the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: buffet to night, and hopefully last night was a little
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: bit of the dam breaking. It felt like I think
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: it was. Was it freelick with the first base hit,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the drive in the run that the first run? I
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: want to say, yeah, I could be wrong, but if
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: that was right, whoever it was, you just felt the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: energy come out of that park when you're watching it,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: like Okay, we finally got one, Like let's look that burden.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Now now we go, now we go. That's kind of
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: that kind of that feeling. So every team goes goes
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: through these little strumps excuse me, slumps and stretches, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: hopefully the Brewers are managing it just fine. Dreamy Cardinald's
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: so happy for Joey on YouTube. He may never be
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the face of the Brewers, but he can be the
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: glue on all right, all right, we need a glue guy.

• 34:56
  Speaker 4: recap for us. Take it away, Hunter, It.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Was a great win for the Brewers over the Reds
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: five to three last night.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Just really much needed, right.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Just felt like a wo the whole place and the
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: whole team could excel. Being in that clubhouse after the game,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: it was very much like, all right, they're having fun,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: smiles around, a lot of joking around. It was just
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: one of those clubhouses that you just feel they needed
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: that win and they got it. So who was the hero?
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Joey Ortiz of course, right, a two run home run,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: a game winner in the eighth inning. He talked about
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: if he felt like he got enough of it off
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: the bat.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I was telling you to get out. To be honest,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't know I got it I knew the ball
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: was flying pretty decent today, but I was yelling at
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: them all to get out and get with.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Ortiz's second home run of the season. Now, of course,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: coming into the game, the Brewers had not been good
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: with runners in scoring position. That's been well documented. Talked
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: about it yesterday on the show. However, Brewis manager Pat
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Murphy said he had a little get together with his
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: position players before the game. I'll let him tell you
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, we'll get together today musician players. I wasn't
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I wasn't real nice, you know, but we talked about
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: don't worry about the result, have an edge and play
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: with an edge every game.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: So it seemed like the Birds had that edgeback right
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: later in the game specifically, and they pull out the victory.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: How about Ashby, how about McGill, how about Chad Patrick
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: with a bounce back as well, and of course Robert
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: katz are keeping him in the game with his start,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Bruce will go for their second straight win and coming
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: up tonight, Brandon Sprote on the mound for the crew
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: six forty first pitch. I'll have you for the Baseball
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: pregame show at five point thirty on Fox Sports nine
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: twenty in Milwaukee and our social channels. This report brought
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: to you by import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: vehicle care on South twenty seven, just north of eight
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: ninety four.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Stay Cool and back to you guys.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Stay cool.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: What a great report by a Hunter, as closing it
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: with my seventh grade yearbook signature stay cool.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, stay cool, have a great summer. As Hunter
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: apparently was flying around the stadium on a magic carpet
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: as he did that report. No, you were heard the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: wind he was. He was outside, it was cool, Yeah, cool.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: He was up on the I think that's maybe where
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: the little balcony by the right field old bleachers. I
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: think maybe. I'm not really sure. I was like the
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: my little, my little mini game, this identify were.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I thought he might have been outside, like when we
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: leave the media gate.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Oh that might be it. Yeah, that's a good spot
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: right there. But I don't wonderfully warm night, so I'm
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: sure it's pleasant.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: One windy yesterday was really windy.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: It was, but once the sun went down, that breeze
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: was probably very pleasant.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but state war. Yeah, stay cool. As Drew said
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: in the.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Stay Cool, I just saw somebody posted that as like
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: a meme.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: About like right when school was closing.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone fifteen years ago that wrote in my yearbook
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: to stay cool, I've got some news for you.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Keep in touch call me well, and not
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: all of us did, but we wish no. Yeah, stay
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: cool man when you got that summer, when you got
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: that al and it's the message screen name though from
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: from uh from the girl you've been eyeing up. That's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the one that was exciting in the yearbook. But as
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: as Hunter said, and I think we've kind of talked
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: about Drew, the burden lifted a little bit emotionally the
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: release Yeah from Attle just.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Needed something good to happen, you know what I'll call it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: BIRS have three games left against the Reds. In one
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: of those games, probably not the finale because that's the
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: pitching matchup of all pitching matchups, right, but in the
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: one of the next two games of burs are going
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: to break through and score seven plus. Okay, they're gonna
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: put up a touchdown or more crooked number.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: They're due to break up.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: They're due, and it's just like, oh, the damn will burst,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: and when the dam bursts, the release is so awesome
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: and it's gonna be they'll do it the next two
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Good chance of that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: I think two night games when it's hot, like this
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: ball's gonna jump and they're just they're due.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Yellowis is gonna run into one. Yeah, Drew, looks like
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: some guys are getting hot. You'd mentioned Ranks starting to
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: get hot. How the powers there. Jackson has been pretty consistent,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I would say, all dealing with what's on there those
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: guys his mind, him and William. I think Salas says, Salvator,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: sorry to look like the one we've known with those
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: opposite fields kind of jabs and things like that. Yellis
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: took his walk. Some good signs there, for sure. I
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: think Andrew Vaughn's been stinging the ball pretty well. So yeah,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I like to think that that's now the joy Ortiz
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: is a power hit or Drew. I like to think
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: that what you're what you're saying is correct. Good points
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: also by Hunter about the bullpen. Everybody chipping in. That
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Chad Patrick moment was good. Obviously mcgil with the big
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: save you mentioned earlier has been underrated, so good stuff.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I like that Murph is leaning into his identity, letting
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: those guys know, don't worry about results. I want you
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: the mentality to be there, the edge, the intensity, play
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: with play with that type of you know, you know
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: mentality all the time when you're up there battling, attacking
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: that you know, just that's that thought that you're always
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: in a fight. He's done a good job kind of
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: impressing that upon the players when he's been a manager.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Is the mentality the right to the right side of it.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: And you saw a little bit more of that edge late.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: You know, it started late for the Brewers, but they
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: figured it out, got around on it, and it would
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: have felt a lot It would have been a lot
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: tougher coming in to think about the Brewers losing three
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: in a row, Drew and facing the possibility of a
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: slump with all these games coming up. So now now
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: that key is the stack of success and try and
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: start again. Yeah, well, tonight win the series. It's hard
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: to win a four gamer, you go to win three
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: or four, but it's doable. Brewers have done it, like
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: we said, eight seven, seven, seven, nine. Barrister, how many
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Homers does Joey have now? I think it's two, two
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: or three I'll check that out. I think it's two. Yeah,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: that sounds right. He's a veritable slugger now at this point. Yeah,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: yeah again, I mean.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: You're right when now that he's bumped to a utility guy,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: he won't draw the ire and he can be he's
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: a you know, his defense makes him elite. So having
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: him late innings and having him play and when he
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: plays if you know, when he plays third Hamilton and
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: he can be an effective tandem.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in a weird way. Like I said, I think
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I think his the weakness that made him a liability
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: can make him a weapon now off the bench. Two
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: omers is corrector that was the second homer of the year.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: He had seven last year, which for some reason surprises me.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: But eleven and twenty four was the kind of the
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Joey Ortiz I think everyone was hoping they'd get at
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: the plate for his career where he had a seven
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: to twenty six ops. Still trying to find that again,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: still trying to reach back and figure out where that
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: part of him is because it might be in there somewhere.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: But I think that it's a lot to be said
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: about the attitude, the approach, the gratitude that Joey Ortiz
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: has had to be on the team to be kind
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: of part of the process of bringing up Cooper Pratt,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: to be helping the team anyway he can. Like you said,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: drew a lot of players, a lot of dudes would
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: not have the same mentality after getting his job taken away,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: after being a starter for a while, after being as
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: proficient as he is defensively, but he has that great attitude,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: happy to be there. You know, Hunter didn't have that clip,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: but you read read it earlier. A guy you can
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: be proud of, even though sometimes can frustrate you. A
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: guy that you can be proud of that's in your uniform,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that's always trying to help the team, and definitely an asset,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: i'd say, in the role he's in right now, I'm
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, eight seven seven seventy nine four seven three gets
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: you to the Nicolay lot. I'm talking text and we
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: had someone texting us about the Chris Johnson story, former
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: running back who has.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Als incredibly sad, just incredibly sad. A lot of folks surmising, well, you.
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Know, it's got to be a function of CTE and
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: concussions and all that. Maybe, but he did say he
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: has a family history. I just I know he said
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: there's no history in his family. So it popped up
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: and it's being called sporadic als, which is how most
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: cases happen, and he's boom like that's so a lot
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: of folks are saying, well, if it's the CTE and
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: it's the dirty secret of the nflase more and more
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: guys are having issues like that because collisions. So we
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: can talk about that, yeah, as we moving forre but
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: it's it is sad. He was Good Morning America yesterday
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: with straight hand when it was revealed.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: It was so dynamic as a player. That's right, and
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: he continues to fight.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: We got Bill Schroeder coming up at seven twenty five.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Scott Dolphin will be here at halftime about thirty minutes
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: from right now. You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio,
