WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:04.129
From the Fast Song Studios. Welcome back, my friends.
2
00:00:04.190 --> 00:00:07.070
To the show that never ends. We're so glad you
3
00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:10.029
could attend. Come inside, come inside.
4
00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:13.500
It's the show with Tony G and Leo. You've been
5
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.079
in the show, man? Yeah, I was in the show.
6
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:17.420
I was in the show for 21 days once.
7
00:00:19.129 --> 00:00:21.929
Greatest days of my life. Be on the show. So
8
00:00:21.989 --> 00:00:25.280
that's what got this party started, huh? Through the Cease Electronics.

10
00:00:30.339 --> 00:00:30.920
I'll drop by.

You drop by my place anytime.
12

Follow on X at Tony G Nation and at Leo
13
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:36.560
Kuiper JR.
14
00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:37.850
He's a little bit long-winded.
15
00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:41.130
He doesn't translate very well into our generation and his
16
00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:42.030
jokes are terrible.
17
00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:43.100
The show goes on!
18
00:00:43.109 --> 00:00:45.289
They ain't going nowhere!
19
00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:48.310
Here's Tony G and Leo.
20
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.679
Hey, hey, happy Monday, Score Squad. Thanks for tuning into

00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:07.510

25
00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:10.689

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:08.919
as well. Let's get to breaking news.
44
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:12.280
I got breaking news, Leo. Breaking news is brought to
45
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.759
you by Northside True Value Hardware. When your Toril snowblower, lawnmower,
46
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.580
or news breaks, Northside True Value Hardware fixes it. Tyson
47
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.280
Badgett will start for the Bears in Week 5 against
48
00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:29.900
your Green Bay Packers. Coach Ben Johnson said on his
49
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:37.000
weekly radio hit at ESPN 1000, Badgett went 25 for
50
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:41.780
34 with 268 yards, no touchdowns, one pick yesterday, and
51
00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:45.120
a 23-12 win over the New York Jets. I'd say
52
00:02:45.139 --> 00:02:47.560
the bigger problem for the Green Bay Packers defense is
53
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.240
the Bears' running game. It's very good. Yes. And the
54
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:57.000
Packers lost their best linebacker yesterday, who is very good
55
00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:59.259
against the run, very good against the pass. He can blitz.
56
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.150
He can force turnovers. But no more. Edger and Cooper
57
00:03:03.250 --> 00:03:04.310
looks to be out for the year.
58
00:03:04.729 --> 00:03:10.050
I'd be interested to see an official statistic of how
59
00:03:10.090 --> 00:03:14.490
many players on each team have suffered season-ending injuries in season.
60
00:03:14.729 --> 00:03:17.530
Whether it's a torn Achilles, torn ACL, you know, the
61
00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:21.719
patellar tendon thing. You know, how many... players per team
62
00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:24.340
have had season. And it just feels like the Packers
63
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.340
have one every other week.
64
00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:28.300
I think every team gets these injuries, but it seems
65
00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:31.879
like the Packers are snake bit with their best players.
66
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:32.909
Yeah.
67
00:03:32.939 --> 00:03:35.849
I mean, look at somebody posted something on X today.
68
00:03:36.909 --> 00:03:39.689
All the highest contracts on the Packers are basically out
69
00:03:39.729 --> 00:03:41.870
right now, except for Jordan Love. And I mean, remember
70
00:03:41.909 --> 00:03:46.530
Jordan Reed or Jalen, Jaden Reed is out for the year. Jordan, Jalen, Jaden,
71
00:03:47.229 --> 00:03:48.050
all of them. They're all out.
72
00:03:48.270 --> 00:03:48.590
Yeah.
73
00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:53.710
It's crazy. And then Zach Bacabuele, he's your highest paid
74
00:03:53.729 --> 00:03:54.449
offensive lineman.
75
00:03:54.490 --> 00:03:55.169
Micah Parsons.
76
00:03:55.250 --> 00:03:58.110
Aaron Banks is your second highest paid lineman. He's out.
77
00:03:58.610 --> 00:03:59.469
Micah Parsons.
78
00:03:59.930 --> 00:04:00.949
Josh Jacobs isn't playing.
79
00:04:01.659 --> 00:04:02.219
It's crazy.
80
00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:03.080
Unbelievable.
81
00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:03.400
Yeah.
82
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.439
It is quite literally.
83
00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:05.439
It hurts, man.
84
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:05.919
It hurts.
85
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.159
We'll talk more about that later, but that's your breaking
86
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.460
news brought to you by Northside True Value Hardware.
87
00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:12.580
Let's dive into the show menu.
88
00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:17.860
This is a tasty burger.
89
00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:20.579
I can't usually get them because my girlfriend's a vegetarian,
90
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:21.879
which pretty much.
91
00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:24.680
Makes me a vegetarian. I do love the taste of
92
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.029
a good burger. Let's see what's on today's sports menu.
93
00:04:28.069 --> 00:04:30.029
The hour number one sports menu is brought to you
94
00:04:30.069 --> 00:04:33.149
by Tanner's Grill and Bar West, conveniently located at 110

news at facebook.com slash Tanner's Grill and Bar. All right,
97
00:04:38.790 --> 00:04:40.970
here's what we got coming up. First off, right out
98
00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:42.389
of the gate, we have a special guest standing by.
99
00:04:42.410 --> 00:04:43.649
We'll get to him in about a minute or two.
100
00:04:44.310 --> 00:04:45.759
and there's a bit of story to it. So I'll
101
00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:47.240
tell you who that is. I'll tell you what the
102
00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:49.639
story is when we get there. But just to continue
103
00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:52.259
the show menu, we'll talk crew with Matt Carroll. We'll
104
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.800
have Bill Scott on the show for 1265 today. Guests
105
00:04:55.139 --> 00:04:57.519
in every segment to start hour number one today. And
106
00:04:57.540 --> 00:04:59.879
then in hour number two, we'll start with some Bucky banter.
107
00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:04.319
The Badgers roll against Michigan State on Saturday. We will
108
00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:06.819
dive into more of the Packers, more of the Brewers
109
00:05:06.930 --> 00:05:09.949
from over the weekend. The score poll, most memorable AmFam
110
00:05:10.009 --> 00:05:14.879
field moment after Churrio's walk-off yesterday. We'll talk about that then.
111
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.360
We'll award Stiff of the Day and wrap it up
112
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:18.319
at the end of the show. That is your sports menu,
113
00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.420
the hour number one show menu, brought to you by
114
00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:22.259
Tanner's Grill and Bar West. What do you think of that, Leo?
115
00:05:22.540 --> 00:05:27.089
Hey, that sounds like a fun-filled, jam-packed program that we
116
00:05:27.629 --> 00:05:28.949
have for the score squad today.
117
00:05:29.250 --> 00:05:31.069
Okay, so here's the back story and the guests that
118
00:05:31.089 --> 00:05:33.889
we have standing by. So, first off, a special thank
119
00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:36.069
you to Hart Law for sponsoring Talking Crew in the
120
00:05:36.089 --> 00:05:39.050
regular season. Did a phenomenal job. It was great to
121
00:05:39.089 --> 00:05:42.269
have them aboard. Brian Hart. Yeah, text her to the show.
122
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.410
So we appreciate them for the regular season. We have
123
00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:49.589
a new Talkin' Crew sponsor for the postseason.
124
00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:50.670
The playoff version.
125
00:05:50.769 --> 00:05:51.629
That's right, yes.
126
00:05:51.949 --> 00:05:57.720
And hopefully it's a long, long relationship over the next
127
00:05:57.740 --> 00:05:58.019
month or so.
128
00:05:58.019 --> 00:06:01.000
Could it either be one week or five weeks, depending
129
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:01.579
on how far they go.
130
00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:04.060
We know it's going to go at least a full week.
131
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.730
That's right, yes. And that full week that we are
132
00:06:06.750 --> 00:06:08.810
guaranteed is this week as the Brewers are in the middle.
133
00:06:09.189 --> 00:06:09.709
The NLDS.
134
00:06:09.769 --> 00:06:13.269
And then next week, we do our postseason wrap-up if
135
00:06:13.410 --> 00:06:15.730
they would get knocked out, but hopefully they won't.
136
00:06:15.910 --> 00:06:17.029
I know.
137
00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:20.769
I am so on not jinxing anything right now because
138
00:06:21.209 --> 00:06:24.550
I think we kind of jinxed, reverse jinxed the Brewers
139
00:06:24.610 --> 00:06:26.569
on Manny Machado by giving him stiff of the day
140
00:06:26.629 --> 00:06:29.129
on Friday. Because look at what he did.
141
00:06:29.269 --> 00:06:31.560
And that's all courtesy of Leo Kuyper Jr. Yeah, that's
142
00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:32.560
all my fault. That was your idea, pal.
143
00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:34.379
But see once again how this works.
144
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:35.120
Yes, I do.
145
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:35.620
Yeah, see?
146
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.939
See? Oh, this whole reverse crazy sports thing. It's crazy. Yeah.
147
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:41.639
But I'm crazy.
148
00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:43.120
You are crazy. You're very crazy.
149
00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:43.810
We're all crazy.
150
00:06:43.850 --> 00:06:45.149
It's starting to spread to me a little bit, so
151
00:06:45.170 --> 00:06:48.430
stay away. Oh, it's spread a lot. So that new
152
00:06:48.449 --> 00:06:51.009
sponsor taking over for what we're going to call Postseason
153
00:06:51.029 --> 00:06:55.600
Talkin' Crew is a familiar name to the show. If
154
00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:57.819
you've been with us from this past summer, we did
155
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.069
the Dad Joke segment with Josh Carter State Farm. The
156
00:07:01.250 --> 00:07:05.170
sponsor of postseason talking crew is now Josh Carter State Farm.
157
00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:08.350
And to celebrate the occasion, we have Josh Carter standing
158
00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:11.769
by on the Cease Electronic talk line. Hi, Josh. How
159
00:07:11.810 --> 00:07:12.310
are you today?
160
00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:14.189
I'm doing good, guys.
161
00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:14.569
How are you?
162
00:07:14.910 --> 00:07:17.430
Oh, you know what? We're doing excellent over here in this.
163
00:07:17.810 --> 00:07:20.889
Everyone's happy, Josh. I mean, the Badgers got a victory.
164
00:07:20.949 --> 00:07:23.610
The Brewers won two games and the Packers won. Wasn't
165
00:07:23.629 --> 00:07:24.790
that our score poll on Friday?
166
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:25.920
I think so, yeah.
167
00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:28.620
What record is our state going to have? And it
168
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:29.529
was a perfect weekend.
169
00:07:29.670 --> 00:07:32.689
That's right. Yep, indeed. Indeed it is, Josh. And Josh
170
00:07:32.730 --> 00:07:35.290
is a familiar voice to the show, not just voice
171
00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:37.069
to the show, but member of ScoreSquad as well. He's
172
00:07:37.089 --> 00:07:39.110
been texting in. How does it feel to be live
173
00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:40.470
on the airwaves with the show?
174
00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:43.389
Well, it's pretty exciting, Tony.
175
00:07:43.750 --> 00:07:44.009
Yeah?
176
00:07:45.009 --> 00:07:46.540
I believe that. I believe that.
177
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.500
We are pretty exciting people around here.
178
00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:49.319
Yeah, yeah.
179
00:07:49.810 --> 00:07:51.009
I mean, I guess that's... We're the coolest. We're the
180
00:07:51.029 --> 00:07:53.329
cool kids. Yeah, I guess that's kind of up to
181
00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:54.310
us to determine.
182
00:07:54.350 --> 00:07:54.649
I don't know.
183
00:07:54.709 --> 00:07:57.360
Either way. So, Josh, here's how this will go. First off,
184
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.439
I have a couple questions for you. Before we do,
185
00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:04.259
I want to tell you the new post-season talking crew
186
00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:06.579

00:08:08.250 --> 00:08:08.490
All right?
189
00:08:08.509 --> 00:08:10.569

How'd that sound, Josh?
198
00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:37.049
It sounds great, Tony. You're the only one that could
199
00:08:37.090 --> 00:08:37.320
do it.
200
00:08:38.330 --> 00:08:39.889
Well, what if he's sick and I have to do it?
201
00:08:39.970 --> 00:08:40.370
That's true.
202
00:08:40.950 --> 00:08:43.370
Well, then you are a capable backup.
203
00:08:43.629 --> 00:08:47.240
I am a capable. I'm a Malik Willis in Green Bay.
204
00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:47.519
That's right.
205
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.460
Not so much in Miami.
206
00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:49.320
Yeah.
207
00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:53.350
And I am a full-blown State Farm customer. So I've
208
00:08:53.370 --> 00:08:55.250
got all my vehicles and my home.
209
00:08:55.409 --> 00:08:55.850
As am I.
210
00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:56.269
Yeah.
211
00:08:56.330 --> 00:08:57.269
As am I. So look at us.
212
00:08:57.490 --> 00:08:57.690
Yep.
213
00:08:58.190 --> 00:08:58.830
Great to hear.
214
00:08:58.990 --> 00:09:00.789
It's a State Farm kind of day around here, Josh.
215
00:09:00.809 --> 00:09:03.659
So first off, let's talk about you and your background.
216
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.720
This is a good matchup for you in terms of
217
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.940
you being the talk and crew sponsor for the postseason
218
00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:10.820
because you have a background with baseball. I consider you
219
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.539
a baseball guy. You've been a travel baseball coach for
220
00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:15.929
a couple years. Tell us about your background with baseball
221
00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:17.169
and your sports interests.
222
00:09:18.330 --> 00:09:21.129
Well, just a lot of baseball. I mean, when do
223
00:09:21.149 --> 00:09:23.799
you start, you know? each three or four or five,
224
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.240
maybe T-ball. So playing, doing that, high school, some college,
225
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.509
and then your kids get into it, and they do it,
226
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.250
and you end up coaching. Yeah, it's been a long time,
227
00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:35.129
a lot of baseball.
228
00:09:36.389 --> 00:09:39.490
Josh, I really want to pick your brain on the Brewers,
229
00:09:40.250 --> 00:09:43.889
their whole season and the playoffs this past weekend against
230
00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:50.059
the Padres. 103 wins. They come away with a weird victory.
231
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.289
On Saturday night, they're all saying Bob Euchre knocked that potential.
232
00:09:56.590 --> 00:09:57.470
I don't know if that was going to be a
233
00:09:57.509 --> 00:10:01.139
home run. It was this crazy controversy. there for a minute,
234
00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:04.340
and the announcers, I think, were even saying, oh, yeah,
235
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.940
that could be a home run. I don't know if
236
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.399
that would have happened, but Bob Uecker made sure that
237
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.399
wasn't going to happen. Then, of course, you have yesterday
238
00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:14.639
with the big moment, one of the greatest moments in
239
00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:18.259
Brewers history. Did you take it all in over the
240
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.460
whole season and this weekend? And what was your reaction
241
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:22.639
to these wins over the weekend?
242
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:28.690
Well, I mean, yesterday particularly, you're watching that game, and
243
00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:31.210
I think I was probably the eighth inning. You're thinking,
244
00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:33.190
you know, it's still close. They still got a chance,
245
00:10:33.289 --> 00:10:37.789
but it's not looking good. And if you're the Padres
246
00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:42.210
and you lose that game, man, the Brewers, uncharacteristic errors.
247
00:10:42.269 --> 00:10:43.830
They didn't do a lot of things they normally did
248
00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:47.320
for the whole year. and we still lost, they've got
249
00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:49.240
to be thinking, man, how are we going to beat
250
00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:52.080
these guys? They just tried to hand us one. They
251
00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:55.539
still came back and beat us. So it's got to
252
00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:57.399
be a little deflating if you're looking from the Padres.
253
00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:00.429
From the Brewers, it's just probably you don't feel like
254
00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:02.610
they've played their best baseball yet postseason.
255
00:11:05.450 --> 00:11:06.070
Yeah, yeah.
256
00:11:06.090 --> 00:11:08.289
I mean, with the errors yesterday, too, you could really
257
00:11:08.330 --> 00:11:10.409
tell that things were maybe a little off. Maybe the
258
00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:13.889
lights were Kind of bright for Milwaukee, but like you said,
259
00:11:14.070 --> 00:11:17.250
they found a way to win too, Josh. And things
260
00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:20.100
get difficult here as they hit the road, head to
261
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.379
San Diego. Not an easy place to play in October.
262
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.779
Do you have a prediction for the rest of this
263
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.019
Brewers-Padres-NLDS series?
264
00:11:29.139 --> 00:11:31.419
Well, my prediction would be if they can– I mean,
265
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:34.899
when you do what they've done two games in a row,
266
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.070
and this– you know, Dustin May has had some success
267
00:11:38.110 --> 00:11:38.889
against the Padres.
268
00:11:38.909 --> 00:11:39.029
Mm-hmm.
269
00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:44.779
If you can start fast, the Padres might just fold up.
270
00:11:45.049 --> 00:11:49.330
Their fans might just pack it in and be on
271
00:11:49.350 --> 00:11:51.970
their way. I think if you let them get some momentum,
272
00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:53.809
that's where it gets a little bit scary. But I
273
00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:55.289
think if you can start fast and maybe get a
274
00:11:55.309 --> 00:11:58.149
lead early, you could put them away.
275
00:11:58.549 --> 00:12:00.450
What is up with the Brewers and the NLDS the
276
00:12:00.490 --> 00:12:03.149
last two years against the Cubs last year, the Padres
277
00:12:03.190 --> 00:12:05.830
this year? They just seem to fall behind in these games,
278
00:12:05.889 --> 00:12:08.970
somehow continue to win games in the NLDS. But To me,
279
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.029
that's not necessarily, Josh, a recipe for success if you
280
00:12:12.049 --> 00:12:14.509
want to continue to move on, to continue falling behind.
281
00:12:14.529 --> 00:12:17.129
I think starting off on the right foot is probably
282
00:12:17.169 --> 00:12:19.009
a good key moving forward, right?
283
00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:21.269
Yeah, for sure.
284
00:12:21.330 --> 00:12:24.700
You're probably not going to get to that guy again,
285
00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:30.720
Mason Miller, like that. That's pretty uncharacteristic. I wouldn't plan
286
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.620
on making that a habit. They're going to probably hold
287
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.440
a lead more times than not when he's coming into
288
00:12:37.460 --> 00:12:40.460
the game. It's just, I think you need to play
289
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:45.009
regular season baseball like they have, and they should be fine.
290
00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:48.350
Yeah, and same thing with Morihona on Saturday, too. This
291
00:12:48.409 --> 00:12:49.929
back end of the bullpen is not one you get
292
00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:51.789
to that often. The fact they did it in back-to-back
293
00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:55.190
games to start the playoff series is quite miraculous, and
294
00:12:55.269 --> 00:12:57.389
I'm not trying to be dramatic by saying that by
295
00:12:57.429 --> 00:13:00.350
any means, but Josh, let's close out with this. On
296
00:13:00.389 --> 00:13:03.059
the insurance front, what's a good way, any plugs you
297
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.379
want to give for what you offer, and what is
298
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:06.899
the best way for our listeners to get in touch
299
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:07.139
with you?
300
00:13:08.289 --> 00:13:11.759
Well, you hit it on the head in the intro there. Obviously,
301
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.720
home and auto insurance, that's kind of State Farm's bread
302
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.779
and butter. There's a lot of different ways to get
303
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.440
a hold of us. Email, text, call, stop in. It's
304
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.879
not hard. We try to make insurance as easy as
305
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:28.200
we can and help as many people as we can.
306
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.039
So just know that we are here to help, and
307
00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:33.720
it's not a complicated process like some people might think.
308
00:13:34.070 --> 00:13:35.570
I'm putting you on the spot here. I didn't tell
309
00:13:35.590 --> 00:13:37.350
you about this prior, so if you don't have one
310
00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:40.610
queued up, that's fine. But you were the sponsor of
311
00:13:40.629 --> 00:13:42.830
the Dad Joke of the Week a couple of months ago.
312
00:13:42.870 --> 00:13:44.470
Do you have any dad jokes at the top of
313
00:13:44.509 --> 00:13:46.669
your mind that you could spill out here to start
314
00:13:46.690 --> 00:13:47.889
our week on this Monday afternoon?
315
00:13:48.629 --> 00:13:51.269
Ooh, ooh. You know what? Over the weekend, this came up.
316
00:13:51.610 --> 00:13:52.120
All right.
317
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:53.000
I like it.
318
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.000
So I got one. What happens if a jack-o'-lantern loses
319
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:57.399
an eye?
320
00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.379
Ooh, ooh.
321
00:13:58.419 --> 00:14:01.039
Don't tell me. What happens if a jack-o'-lantern loses an eye?
322
00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:01.600
You got anything?
323
00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:07.259
Um he's a one-eyed jack-o'-lantern he's a pirate i don't know.
324
00:14:09.299 --> 00:14:10.779
He gets a pumpkin patch.
325
00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:14.629
Ah yes yep that's kind of like a pirate yep
326
00:14:14.990 --> 00:14:17.309
yep almost i was in the right track i was in.
327
00:14:17.309 --> 00:14:20.889
The right vicinity a pumpkin patch i like that beautiful all.

00:14:52.309 --> 00:14:53.309
a good message to give, don't you?
341
00:14:53.669 --> 00:14:57.110
Yeah, before I get to that message, someone just sent
342
00:14:57.169 --> 00:15:00.860
me a– his number 24 sent it. He said, I
343
00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:04.259
crossed a four-leaf clover with poison ivy, and I got
344
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.139
a rash of good luck. I was just itching to
345
00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:07.679
tell somebody.
346
00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:08.820
Ah, there it is.
347
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.200
I like that.
348
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.720
Dead jokes are a hit around here.
349
00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:13.720
No, they're a hit. They're a hit. And by the way,
350
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.940
Dustin May had a perfect game going into the seventh inning,
351
00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:20.820
similar to how he had it with the Brewers into
352
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.879
the eighth inning, against the Padres earlier this year when
353
00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:24.620
he was with the Cardinals.
354
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.539
I forget about that.
355
00:15:25.730 --> 00:15:31.539
Yeah. So hopefully he can continue his– Stellar performance against
356
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.120
the San Diego Padres. All right, before we step away,
357
00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:38.779
I'm just going to tell you tomorrow, the weather's supposed
358
00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:41.679
to be a little cruddy, high winds, potentially some rain.
359
00:15:42.259 --> 00:15:44.279
On those types of days when you want to work
360
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.120
on your golf game and the golf courses are closed,

00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:03.700
Fall leagues are forming right now. We know Ben from

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.379
Scuba's is going to be playing. He's the returning champ.

370
00:16:16.789 --> 00:16:18.309
We're going to take our first break of the show
371
00:16:18.330 --> 00:16:21.929
when we come back. More talking crew. We'll be joined
372
00:16:21.950 --> 00:16:24.730
by Matt Carroll of the Cold Brew Pod to talk
373
00:16:24.750 --> 00:16:28.740
about the walk-off win yesterday. Start to the NLDS. And
374
00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:32.759
what's coming up next? Heading to San Diego. Gets tough
375
00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:36.090
from here. Matt Carroll, after this, don't go anywhere. It's
376
00:16:36.110 --> 00:17:05.640
the show with Tony, Gene, Leo, right here on The Score. Well,
377
00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:09.319
that music means one thing. Time for Matt Carroll for
378
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.799
some more talking crew after we started the show off
379
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:16.140
with it. Matt Carroll comes to the show via the
380
00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:20.200
cold brew pod. Also an MLB writer for Just Baseball.
381
00:17:21.109 --> 00:17:25.289
You can follow him on X at MKE Matt 13. Matt,
382
00:17:25.309 --> 00:17:28.369
have you come off the high from yesterday at all?
383
00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:30.730
I mean, I was following your Twitter feed. It looked
384
00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:33.049
like you were pretty ecstatic, just like everyone else was.
385
00:17:33.609 --> 00:17:34.670
You come down from that high at all?
386
00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:39.539
I think we got a couple days left for that.
387
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.680
What a weekend, you guys. Just, I mean, absolutely unreal.
388
00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:49.440
Were you crying like many of my coworkers? There's no
389
00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:52.799
crying in baseball. You guys are crying? Come on.
390
00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:53.900
I just teared up a little.
391
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.000
You can tear up when they win game seven of
392
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.940
the World Series. There's a lot of work to be
393
00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.559
done yet.
394
00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:00.019
Just so happy. It was great.
395
00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:02.980
Enjoy it. But a lot of work to be done yet. Right, Matt?
396
00:18:04.069 --> 00:18:05.289
Yeah, absolutely.
397
00:18:05.569 --> 00:18:08.859
I think there's also a no crying in the press
398
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.279
box sign as well.
399
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:11.960
There's no crying.
400
00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:13.359
Had to keep the emotions in check.
401
00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:14.119
That's right.
402
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.289
We need to get that drop lined up. There's no crying. Yeah,
403
00:18:17.309 --> 00:18:18.769
we should. Yeah, get the Tom Hanks.
404
00:18:18.809 --> 00:18:20.190
That'd be a perfect fit.
405
00:18:20.390 --> 00:18:21.710
Yeah, we'll get it. All right, Matt.
406
00:18:21.730 --> 00:18:23.930
Well, let's start right with what we're talking about. I
407
00:18:24.190 --> 00:18:27.670
could ask you what your reaction was to the Cheerio walk-off, which...
408
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:29.619
You know, you can answer that, but then more so,
409
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.740
what was your reaction to the Brewers actually getting to
410
00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:35.500
Mason Miller, the best closer in baseball, putting together a
411
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.299
bases-loaded ninth inning, and then Jackson Churio brought home the
412
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:43.130
tying and winning runs. Wow, what a game. What was
413
00:18:43.150 --> 00:18:44.690
your reaction to that?
414
00:18:46.309 --> 00:18:49.670
It was, I mean, that tension definitely builds up as
415
00:18:49.730 --> 00:18:52.470
they continue, you know, they work a walk, and then
416
00:18:52.509 --> 00:18:55.690
they work another walk, and and you never quite know
417
00:18:55.750 --> 00:18:58.069
how it's going to go. Sanchez is up there and
418
00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:00.769
the Vaughn comes in before that. And you're wondering what
419
00:19:00.789 --> 00:19:02.490
they're going to do off the bench, if they're going
420
00:19:02.509 --> 00:19:05.529
to have their big moments. Um, it, it kind of,
421
00:19:05.529 --> 00:19:08.359
the ending kind of starts off with, you know, it's
422
00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:11.759
Mason Miller and you had your two, three, four hitters
423
00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:14.420
the inning before you thought maybe that was going to
424
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.380
be your biggest chance. Um, now you're working down in
425
00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:20.670
the lineup and, You know, you're hoping they can pull
426
00:19:20.710 --> 00:19:21.269
something off.
427
00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:23.430
But this is the best closer in the game for
428
00:19:23.450 --> 00:19:24.390
the last two years.
429
00:19:25.410 --> 00:19:29.430
It's going to have to be something absolutely special for
430
00:19:29.470 --> 00:19:31.109
them to get it.
431
00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:33.299
But then, yeah, they keep going.
432
00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:38.380
And now it's excitement starting to build in the crowd
433
00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:42.759
a little bit. Sal Frelick after the game said that
434
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.930
their approach towards Mason Miller was just get it.
435
00:19:45.930 --> 00:19:48.150
To the next guy. Whatever you have to do, just
436
00:19:48.269 --> 00:19:50.109
get it to the next guy so that they can
437
00:19:50.170 --> 00:19:50.859
extend the inning.
438
00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:53.920
And all of a sudden, you've got Mason Miller creeping
439
00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:56.519
up towards 40 pitches, and that gives you a better
440
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.279
chance to punch something through.
441
00:19:59.339 --> 00:20:01.339
And Churrio ends up doing that.
442
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.460
And he is just he's an absolute postseason superstar now
443
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.579
with what he's done in his short career.
444
00:20:08.289 --> 00:20:10.450
A lot to unpack as far as the pitching for
445
00:20:10.470 --> 00:20:14.730
the crew, Matt. Jacob Mizorowski, Logan Henderson started games one
446
00:20:14.769 --> 00:20:19.609
and two. Both fell behind early, maybe more to the
447
00:20:19.650 --> 00:20:22.029
lack of offense by the crew than their work. But
448
00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:24.990
I didn't think either of them were at their best,
449
00:20:25.009 --> 00:20:28.680
but they both battled, kept the Brewers in the game. Okay,
450
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.960
we know Dustin Mays going game three. Just talk about
451
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:34.460
the pitching as a whole in these first two games
452
00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:35.680
and moving forward.
453
00:20:37.309 --> 00:20:37.549
Yeah.
454
00:20:37.670 --> 00:20:39.569
I think you have to give a lot of credit
455
00:20:39.750 --> 00:20:45.559
to the Padres as well, because, you know, Mizorowski, not
456
00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:49.180
at his best, but also I believe it was 30
457
00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:53.359
pitches that the Padres fouled off in Mizorowski's outing. That
458
00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:57.180
is an insane number of pitches by one team against
459
00:20:57.420 --> 00:21:00.410
one pitcher, but they were up there aggressive. They were
460
00:21:00.450 --> 00:21:03.970
going to put good swings on it. And And they're
461
00:21:03.990 --> 00:21:06.319
a great team at the plate. And so they really,
462
00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:09.279
really worked Mizorowski to try and get him out of
463
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:13.619
that game early. Kind of the same with Logan Henderson.
464
00:21:13.859 --> 00:21:18.319
They worked him for deep counts early on. Now, his
465
00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:20.819
issue was more that he wasn't as much in the
466
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.559
strike zone. Those first two innings, he was about 50-50
467
00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:29.779
balls to strikes, which is, for him, definitely abnormal. He's
468
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.440
a guy who thrives on his control and doesn't walk
469
00:21:32.509 --> 00:21:35.759
a lot of guys. But still, the fact that both
470
00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:39.220
of them were able to get through their outings with
471
00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:43.039
San Diego putting up a ton of good at-bats but
472
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:47.309
still minimizing the damage. With Henderson, you also had defensive
473
00:21:47.349 --> 00:21:51.849
miscues that didn't help things. I think credit goes to
474
00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:55.029
them being younger pitchers. and still being able to get
475
00:21:55.089 --> 00:21:57.589
through it, they're going to have great careers just based
476
00:21:57.650 --> 00:21:59.650
off of what they were able to do those two days.
477
00:21:59.829 --> 00:22:02.710
And then you have to also then credit the bullpen.
478
00:22:02.849 --> 00:22:05.609
I mean, they were able to keep games close enough
479
00:22:05.690 --> 00:22:08.789
on both nights long enough for the Brewers to be
480
00:22:08.869 --> 00:22:11.630
able to come back and ultimately win both of those games.
481
00:22:12.049 --> 00:22:14.730
Yeah, speaking of the bullpen, let's talk about the Padres' bullpen.
482
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.319
It's a bullpen that is very good in terms of
483
00:22:17.339 --> 00:22:20.559
Major League Baseball rankings, yet the Brewers' offense were able
484
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.009
to get to that They won both games of this
485
00:22:24.049 --> 00:22:27.529
series so far by getting to the bullpen. Why has
486
00:22:27.569 --> 00:22:30.269
Milwaukee been able to find success against their bullpen, and
487
00:22:30.309 --> 00:22:34.119
especially their top high-leverage guys like Maury Hohn and Mason Miller?
488
00:22:36.099 --> 00:22:39.160
It just goes back to what they do. They work counts.
489
00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:39.859
They battle.
490
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:46.660
They make bullpen arms lives. a living hell to put
491
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.279
it in the best way possible. And you're right. Those
492
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:51.920
are two Mason Miller already talked about being, you know,
493
00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:54.819
best closer in baseball, arguably for the last two years,
494
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:58.769
Maury hone is a phenomenal setup guy. He was an
495
00:22:58.849 --> 00:23:02.789
all-star in 2025. He had a fantastic season this year.
496
00:23:02.809 --> 00:23:05.650
That is not an easy guy to score runs against.
497
00:23:05.730 --> 00:23:09.289
And yet the brewers broke through on him and, on
498
00:23:10.009 --> 00:23:14.170
Saturday with the William Contreras Homer. So, you know, it,
499
00:23:14.250 --> 00:23:16.690
they don't change their approach.
500
00:23:16.809 --> 00:23:17.309
They don't.
501
00:23:17.970 --> 00:23:20.130
And the fact that they aren't a Homer heavy team
502
00:23:20.509 --> 00:23:23.430
almost kind of works in their favor. Now I say
503
00:23:23.490 --> 00:23:26.839
that when Contreras ended up hitting the Homers and that
504
00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:29.539
was their source of offense for game one, but it
505
00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:33.359
always gives them a chance because they're able to, you know,
506
00:23:33.539 --> 00:23:37.299
not let relievers kind of get out of the game easily.
507
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.210
So yeah, it that.
508
00:23:40.769 --> 00:23:44.829
Bullpen of the Padres is an excellent bullpen and yet
509
00:23:44.890 --> 00:23:47.809
that was what the Brewers exploited to end up winning
510
00:23:47.869 --> 00:23:50.279
and that's what great teams do.
511
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:56.000
Bryce Terang has been old for postseason so far this
512
00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:59.539
year at the bat you know facing some tough tough
513
00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:04.009
pitching but In the two slot, he needs to step
514
00:24:04.109 --> 00:24:06.509
up and hit the baseball. Plus, he had a costly
515
00:24:06.609 --> 00:24:09.230
error in the field. My buddy Tony over there, he's
516
00:24:09.250 --> 00:24:11.569
a little worried the lights might be too bright for Terang,
517
00:24:11.589 --> 00:24:14.650
but we saw him in the WBC be one of
518
00:24:14.670 --> 00:24:16.769
the best players for the United States. He's had a
519
00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:19.680
great season. Is this just a little mini slump? Maybe
520
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.980
some postseason jitters and he'll get this thing turned around?
521
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.619
Yeah, I think so. I mean, you know, it was
522
00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:30.289
a 3-2 game and a 4-3 game. Not a ton,
523
00:24:30.329 --> 00:24:32.869
ton of offense combined through those couple games.
524
00:24:33.750 --> 00:24:38.720
You had guys too like Jake Bowers. I think he
525
00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:43.000
maybe only has the one hit so far. Contreras outside
526
00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:45.160
of the home run, he was still looking to kind
527
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.440
of find his way in that second game. So Turing
528
00:24:48.509 --> 00:24:50.910
isn't the only one. He struggled the most because he
529
00:24:50.950 --> 00:24:53.190
hasn't put together a hit yet. He did have a
530
00:24:53.250 --> 00:24:56.170
walk in game one, if I remember correctly, but I
531
00:24:56.210 --> 00:24:56.779
think that's it.
532
00:24:57.349 --> 00:25:01.250
So, yeah, it's just two games.
533
00:25:01.289 --> 00:25:04.009
If he comes out of the series going hitless, then
534
00:25:05.230 --> 00:25:09.329
maybe you hope that they work with him on something
535
00:25:09.349 --> 00:25:11.630
before the games to try and get back right. But
536
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.720
I think I'm not overly concerned about him at this point.
537
00:25:20.349 --> 00:25:23.029
being that he also was looking pretty good down the
538
00:25:23.069 --> 00:25:26.170
stretch for the Brewers. So that's the thing about the
539
00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:28.910
playoffs is, you know, it's good teams playing against good
540
00:25:28.950 --> 00:25:33.559
teams and it's every team's best possible pitching setup. You've
541
00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:36.519
got guys on plenty of rest. You're only ever facing
542
00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:38.240
the best of the best starters.
543
00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.440
It's hard. Getting a baseball is hard.
544
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.809
So for any player to go a couple of games,
545
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:48.759
without getting a hit, shouldn't be necessarily a red flag
546
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.880
quite yet. If it were to extend even longer, then
547
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.640
maybe you look at it. But yeah, I'll give him
548
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.170
a bit of a doubt anyway for the first couple games.
549
00:25:58.410 --> 00:26:00.670
Well, let's hope he turns it around for our in-house
550
00:26:01.269 --> 00:26:05.089
super fan, Kristen, in our sales department. She just loves
551
00:26:05.529 --> 00:26:07.980
her Bryce Durant. All right, we just had a question
552
00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:10.950
come in from one of our listeners, Matt. Larry wants
553
00:26:10.970 --> 00:26:14.269
to know your thoughts on the umpiring so far in
554
00:26:14.309 --> 00:26:17.390
the season. He thinks it's been very poorly umpired.
555
00:26:18.829 --> 00:26:22.680
Oh, my goodness. The first game, not too shabby.
556
00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:26.740
It seemed like there were a couple instances like there
557
00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:30.420
are in any game, but not any glaring issues. That
558
00:26:30.619 --> 00:26:35.109
second game, though, I think it was– 10 of 11
559
00:26:35.109 --> 00:26:38.089
ABS challenges were overturned by the end of the game.
560
00:26:38.109 --> 00:26:43.849
A few very questionable check swing calls as well at
561
00:26:43.890 --> 00:26:46.369
third base by Quinn Walcott.
562
00:26:46.650 --> 00:26:48.329
Lance Barrett was a home plate umpire.
563
00:26:49.670 --> 00:26:52.859
It was, I mean, there was plenty of talk around
564
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.200
the press box of just how bad some of those calls.
565
00:26:56.660 --> 00:27:00.900
And some of those ABS calls were just blatantly off.
566
00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:05.299
I mean, horribly, horribly off. Um, I mean, at least
567
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:07.519
they got the roof ball call, right?
568
00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:10.079
I guess I'll, I'll give them that. But, um, no,
569
00:27:10.099 --> 00:27:13.019
in that second game, it was, and it was for
570
00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.640
both teams. It's not like it was just for the
571
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:16.940
Brewers to overcome, but I mean, these are supposed to
572
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:21.920
be the best of the best umpires in the playoffs.
573
00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:23.920
So I don't know how you get a game that
574
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.329
bad in game two, but luckily the Brewers still ended
575
00:27:26.369 --> 00:27:26.869
up coming.
576
00:27:26.710 --> 00:27:28.730
Out with the win. Yeah, that one, Quinn Wolcott was
577
00:27:28.769 --> 00:27:30.789
just not watching. I mean, you know, and it happens.
578
00:27:30.950 --> 00:27:31.170
No.
579
00:27:31.450 --> 00:27:33.519
You know, I mean, your concentration may lapse throughout the
580
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:35.160
course of a game, but he just was not. I mean,
581
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:37.480
it was as clear as day. It was about as
582
00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:40.259
much of a swing. Like, you could argue, you don't
583
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.039
even have to check down to third base to see
584
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:44.680
if that was a swing. That was a swing. So
585
00:27:44.859 --> 00:27:46.720
the umpires just pretty much stopped watching whether that was
586
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:49.049
a swing or not in that occurrence. But Either way,
587
00:27:49.349 --> 00:27:51.329
Dustin May, like we talked about earlier with you, Matt,
588
00:27:51.349 --> 00:27:54.759
will go game three for Milwaukee Tuesday night against Nick Pavetta.
589
00:27:55.130 --> 00:27:58.059
The next time we speak, next Monday, it'll either be
590
00:27:58.099 --> 00:28:04.460
during the second game of the NLCS or the offseason,
591
00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:06.849
I guess you could say. Man, oh man, that's scary
592
00:28:06.869 --> 00:28:09.190
to think about, but what is the key to Milwaukee advancing?
593
00:28:11.009 --> 00:28:15.390
I think continue to have a good pitching plan, I think,
594
00:28:15.589 --> 00:28:16.269
is the big thing.
595
00:28:17.930 --> 00:28:19.849
These games have all been close.
596
00:28:20.069 --> 00:28:23.509
Dating back to that last series on the road in
597
00:28:23.549 --> 00:28:26.670
San Diego, those games were close. I remember that series,
598
00:28:27.269 --> 00:28:30.430
if a couple things go a different way, Brewers end
599
00:28:30.470 --> 00:28:33.430
up winning that series instead of getting swept. So have
600
00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:36.259
a good pitching plan. I would not be surprised if
601
00:28:36.769 --> 00:28:40.130
behind the righty Dustin may, they had lefty Shane drawing
602
00:28:40.150 --> 00:28:43.269
kind of ready to go as soon as may shows,
603
00:28:43.509 --> 00:28:47.019
you know, any sign of weakness. That way, if the
604
00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:49.920
Padres stack up lefties against may, you're able to kind
605
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.220
of counter that with drone off the, out of the bullpen.
606
00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:55.460
So I think that would be a good direction for
607
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.079
them to go, but just stick to the plan. You're
608
00:28:59.099 --> 00:29:01.319
bound to have a couple of the guys like terrain,
609
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.140
you know, kind of snap into it in San Diego and, and.
610
00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:06.619
Just, Believe in yourselves.
611
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.720
Everything the Brewers have done so far this season has worked.
612
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.539
We talked about it last week. A team that doesn't
613
00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:17.180
even have longer than five game winning streaks putting together
614
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:22.000
a 103 win season means they're an extremely consistent team
615
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:27.819
and don't get down very easily. Just stick to the
616
00:29:27.859 --> 00:29:30.380
plan and they should have NLCS in their future.
617
00:29:30.809 --> 00:29:33.490
I hope so. We'll talk to you next Monday and
618
00:29:33.529 --> 00:29:36.029
like I said, it'll either be the NLCS Or the
619
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.180
off season map, but either way, thanks for joining the
620
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:40.069
show today. We'll talk again next Monday.
621
00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:42.230
Absolutely. Talk to you then.
622
00:29:42.569 --> 00:29:45.299

630
00:30:03.369 --> 00:30:04.329
are some of the texts right now?
631
00:30:05.069 --> 00:30:10.789
Dyslexic Trapper Bob walked into a bra. Chris from Appleton.
632
00:30:11.430 --> 00:30:15.500
Action Jackson Cheerio, so clutch. This guy's our new Giannis,
633
00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:19.079
homegrown superstar. This is going to bring us a championship.
634
00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:21.980
Two wins down, nine more to go. Chris in Appleton.
635
00:30:22.829 --> 00:30:26.490
Brian in Greenville, his favorite all-time Brewers moments. Bronze Homer
636
00:30:26.529 --> 00:30:31.029
in 08, Morgan's game winner. Jelton Molitor's autograph on opening
637
00:30:31.049 --> 00:30:34.089
day in 83 when he was 12 yesterday. But he
638
00:30:34.450 --> 00:30:40.289
goes with the 82 ALCS as his favorite moment. I
639
00:30:40.329 --> 00:30:45.119
guess when Cecil Cooper hit the game– Winning, I shouldn't say.
640
00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:47.299
It wasn't a walk-off, though. I put him in the lead.
641
00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:47.779
Yeah.
642
00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:52.460
So yesterday, you're down to one strike. You have one
643
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:55.480
strike left, down by two. Crazy. And you walk it off.
644
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:57.559
It's got to be up there. I thought that would
645
00:30:57.579 --> 00:31:01.619
be our poll question today. But Brian kind of answered it.
646
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:02.069
Yeah.
647
00:31:02.809 --> 00:31:05.069
Yeah.
648
00:31:05.190 --> 00:31:08.809
Timberley, how about those Braves? Who cares? And Connor from
649
00:31:08.829 --> 00:31:11.910
the 9-2-0. Actually, we want the Braves to win, right?
650
00:31:12.470 --> 00:31:14.569
I think it would be an easier matchup for the Brewers, yeah.
651
00:31:14.670 --> 00:31:15.430
Screw the Dodgers.
652
00:31:15.549 --> 00:31:19.920
I found myself– Sorry, Timberley.
653
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:24.720
Just get the job done, and we'll see you in Milwaukee.
654
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.740
When would that series start? Sunday. Sunday and Monday, the
655
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.559
first two games? Yep.
656
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.019
Okay.
657
00:31:30.259 --> 00:31:33.250
I found myself watching that game last night, Braves-Dodgers, going,
658
00:31:33.670 --> 00:31:35.450
I wonder who I want the Brewers to face. And
659
00:31:35.490 --> 00:31:38.230
then I'm going, you don't want to face the Dodgers again.
660
00:31:38.470 --> 00:31:39.529
Anybody but the Dodgers.
661
00:31:39.849 --> 00:31:40.150
Yeah.
662
00:31:40.410 --> 00:31:40.769
Anybody.
663
00:31:40.849 --> 00:31:40.990
Anybody.
664
00:31:41.769 --> 00:31:44.559
Done with the West Coast after these one or two games.
665
00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:48.099
Yep, exactly. And then Jerry Brondre loved the festive dad joke,
666
00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.019
the Halloween.
667
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:50.140
Oh, yeah, I missed it. Sorry about that.
668
00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:50.539
Jer?
669
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.680
All right, we've got to switch gears to football, don't we?
670
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:54.460
We do.
671
00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:56.950
1265 today. Bill Scott, Red Hot, coming up next.
672
00:32:02.029 --> 00:32:03.849

673
00:32:03.869 --> 00:32:04.880

678
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:31.160
located at 534 West Wisconsin Avenue in Appleton. This segment,
679
00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:34.940
we bring on Wisconsin Radio Network Sports Director Bill Scott
680
00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:37.380
to the program. Hi, Bill. Happy Monday afternoon. How are
681
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:37.700
you today?
682
00:32:39.450 --> 00:32:40.630
Doing great. How about you guys?
683
00:32:40.650 --> 00:32:43.839
Oh, we're doing well. No complaints on this end besides
684
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:46.339
Leo's back. But as you can hear, we still have
685
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:47.779
the what the hell do you know about play calling.
686
00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:50.519
But since your last one, listen to this newest drop
687
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:52.440
we just uploaded to kind of counteract that one.
688
00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:52.759
Here we go.
689
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:54.789
I would agree with you 100%, Tony.
690
00:32:54.890 --> 00:32:55.089
Boom.
691
00:32:55.109 --> 00:32:56.730
Now we have both ends of the spectrum. What do
692
00:32:56.750 --> 00:32:57.309
you think of that, Bill?
693
00:32:59.130 --> 00:33:00.619
It kind of tells you I don't know what I'm
694
00:33:00.630 --> 00:33:01.099
talking about.
695
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.839
It's a good one.
696
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:07.400
It kind of tells you it's the heat of the
697
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.640
moment with me. It's like whatever is on my mind,
698
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:12.420
you might get the good side, you might get the
699
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:13.329
not so good side.
700
00:33:14.089 --> 00:33:14.630
That's all right.
701
00:33:14.730 --> 00:33:15.809
That's what we love about you.
702
00:33:15.930 --> 00:33:18.150
Exactly. We've both known you for a lot of years.
703
00:33:19.289 --> 00:33:21.650
We know that's what we're signing up for. And plus,
704
00:33:21.869 --> 00:33:22.990
when you drop this on me.
705
00:33:23.049 --> 00:33:24.869
Let me ask you this, Tony. What the hell do
706
00:33:24.890 --> 00:33:25.890
you know about play calling?
707
00:33:25.930 --> 00:33:28.410
Just know I consider it radio gold. Like you said,
708
00:33:28.430 --> 00:33:29.750
we're going to get a lot of run out of that.
709
00:33:29.769 --> 00:33:30.769
The fans love it, man.
710
00:33:30.789 --> 00:33:31.250
That's right.
711
00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:33.670
Oh, that's good stuff.
712
00:33:33.910 --> 00:33:36.839
Yeah, well, let's start here, Bill. Green Bay won despite
713
00:33:37.470 --> 00:33:39.720
plenty of mistakes like we've been seeing all season from
714
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:41.859
Green Bay, especially late in the game with the fumble
715
00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:45.000
and the interception. But from your perspective, how improved, if
716
00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:47.460
at all, are the Green Bay Packers after what you
717
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:49.240
saw from them in week four at Tampa Bay?
718
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.319
I think it's hard to tell. You know, quite frankly,
719
00:33:56.220 --> 00:34:01.250
you know, they made a couple of offensive line moves and,
720
00:34:01.630 --> 00:34:06.029
you know, and didn't play one of them. I think
721
00:34:06.069 --> 00:34:09.809
the more puzzling thing in terms of, I mean, when
722
00:34:09.829 --> 00:34:13.219
you look at it on the surface, you can say, well,
723
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:18.420
you know, no quarterback sacks, only two quarterback hits. You know,
724
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.219
you could say, well, the offensive line played better. 85
725
00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:26.030
or 86 rushing yards, well, that's compared to 17 the
726
00:34:26.070 --> 00:34:29.929
week before. So 86, in my opinion, isn't a lot
727
00:34:29.969 --> 00:34:33.190
to write home about, but it is considerably better than
728
00:34:33.250 --> 00:34:35.630
what they did the week before. So it's kind of
729
00:34:35.690 --> 00:34:39.719
baby steps. But the real puzzling thing to me is,
730
00:34:39.739 --> 00:34:43.559
is Todd Bowles just looking to get fired so he
731
00:34:43.579 --> 00:34:48.400
can go home and watch better games on TV? Because...
732
00:34:48.809 --> 00:34:51.110
The Packers hadn't been able to stop the Blitz in
733
00:34:51.170 --> 00:34:55.400
three weeks. I mean, they were terrible. Packers were a
734
00:34:55.409 --> 00:34:57.639
bad football team going into that Tampa game, or at
735
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:01.679
least a below-average football team. Hadn't figured it out yet.
736
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.820
Offensive line had struggled, and Todd Bowles gave them a big,
737
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:10.599
fat Christmas present, an early Christmas present, by hardly calling in.
738
00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:13.239
Oh, boy.
739
00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:17.030
Bill, did we lose you there?
740
00:35:18.139 --> 00:35:19.159
Sounds like he dropped off.
741
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:19.559
He did.
742
00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:20.860
He had to reconnect.
743
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:22.860
Oh, do we have him? Do we have him? Bill,
744
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:23.840
one more time, do we have you?
745
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:27.900
Yeah, you. Oh, here we go. Now you're back.
746
00:35:28.510 --> 00:35:30.989
It dropped off there. You said that, gave him a
747
00:35:31.190 --> 00:35:33.289
big fat Christmas present, and then it dropped off there.
748
00:35:35.010 --> 00:35:39.639
Yeah, it's like... Todd Bowles, I mean, wouldn't you– you're
749
00:35:39.659 --> 00:35:42.300
a guy that you're at the head of the firing
750
00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:46.409
coaches list in the early going. Why wouldn't you unload–
751
00:35:46.809 --> 00:35:49.730
put every bullet in the chamber and unload on the
752
00:35:49.750 --> 00:35:53.409
Green Bay Packers by blitzing heavy? And they hardly blitzed
753
00:35:53.449 --> 00:35:56.820
at all, and that allowed the Packers to get semi-comfortable
754
00:35:56.940 --> 00:36:00.539
and at least kind of control the game. I mean,
755
00:36:00.579 --> 00:36:04.940
it was a three-point game, but I'm not sure that–
756
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:07.840
until the end when they started turning the ball over,
757
00:36:07.860 --> 00:36:10.639
that I was really convinced that the Packers still weren't
758
00:36:10.659 --> 00:36:12.489
the much better team on the field.
759
00:36:13.530 --> 00:36:16.309
Yeah, that was a bit perplexing to me as well.
760
00:36:16.349 --> 00:36:18.849
I was going to ask you about that. And with
761
00:36:18.889 --> 00:36:23.010
the offensive line being patchwork at best, I mean, that
762
00:36:23.030 --> 00:36:26.489
would have been a great opportunity to confuse that offensive line.
763
00:36:26.510 --> 00:36:30.489
We saw the mistakes against the Falcons. But off the
764
00:36:30.550 --> 00:36:33.420
offensive line, possibly they looked a little bit better because
765
00:36:34.090 --> 00:36:37.150
Tampa wasn't blitzing, but the running back play, they did
766
00:36:37.250 --> 00:36:41.280
open some holes for the runners. And I just, you know,
767
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:44.460
Caleb Johnson had a nice run. I think if Caleb
768
00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:49.400
Johnson or Marshawn Lloyd would have had the hole Chris
769
00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:51.619
Brooks had, they may have taken it to the house.
770
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:54.130
But I just don't see a lot of great running
771
00:36:54.230 --> 00:36:56.150
instincts in these running backs. I don't know if it's
772
00:36:56.170 --> 00:36:58.909
a lack of talent, experience. Well, what do you think
773
00:36:58.929 --> 00:37:00.570
they do in the running game moving forward? I know
774
00:37:00.590 --> 00:37:03.139
they have Pierre Strong. on the practice squad. Is he
775
00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:04.219
an option, possibly?
776
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:10.820
And I don't know, you know, when Jacobs is going
777
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:13.559
to be back. You know, if he's going to be back,
778
00:37:13.619 --> 00:37:15.320
I'm assuming he's going to be back at some point.
779
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.780
And it's one of those deals where, you know, the
780
00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:20.590
NFL is eventually going to come and step in and
781
00:37:20.690 --> 00:37:23.690
hand him, you know, the six games or whatever. And
782
00:37:23.849 --> 00:37:26.730
the way I understand it, he'll get credit for time served.
783
00:37:27.409 --> 00:37:29.829
You know, so when they say, when they decide to
784
00:37:29.889 --> 00:37:33.679
come back and say six weeks, If they played six games,
785
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:37.269
he's coming back. And I think that's really the best
786
00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:39.750
thing that could happen to the Green Bay Packers running game. Now,
787
00:37:39.949 --> 00:37:42.309
you know, people have their opinions on whether or not
788
00:37:42.349 --> 00:37:45.380
he should be allowed back or, you know, what kind
789
00:37:45.389 --> 00:37:47.099
of time he should serve, all that kind of stuff.
790
00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:51.000
But just from a Pierce football standpoint, they need Josh
791
00:37:51.059 --> 00:37:55.340
Jacobs back in a bad way. I'm not so sure
792
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:59.599
that there's much out there. um but i you know
793
00:37:59.860 --> 00:38:02.920
they had a i think a 31 and a 27
794
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.840
yard run so now i mentioned the 85 or 86
795
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.380
yards that they had as a whole you know you
796
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:11.380
take away 31 and 27 just two runs and the
797
00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:13.619
rest of it was pedestrian.
798
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.320
Exactly yeah bill let's talk about another aspect of the
799
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:20.280
team here i i am continuing to see the penalties
800
00:38:20.489 --> 00:38:23.869
pile up for this team and there's a clear lack
801
00:38:23.889 --> 00:38:26.030
of discipline on both sides of the ball really if
802
00:38:26.050 --> 00:38:28.360
you look at offense and defense but You know, they
803
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.559
were talking on the broadcast yesterday about some of these
804
00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:34.199
calls are really rather ticky-tack. Where do you lie on
805
00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:36.760
the penalties the Packers have stacked up throughout the course
806
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.619
of this season? And how much of a concern is
807
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:40.920
it for you heading into a tough stretch in the schedule?
808
00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:46.659
Well, I think it's a huge concern because, to me,
809
00:38:46.940 --> 00:38:51.570
once you get that, your M.O. is what it is.
810
00:38:51.789 --> 00:38:54.590
And officials, you know, they go in and they read
811
00:38:54.650 --> 00:38:58.969
the reports, the scouting reports, and on teams going in.
812
00:38:59.250 --> 00:39:01.190
And so now you're looking for it more, and you're
813
00:39:01.230 --> 00:39:05.110
probably being a little picky. I thought they were, from
814
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:10.260
the interference standpoint, some of those downfield against defensive backs
815
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:14.019
and different– I thought they were ticky-tack both ways. I mean,
816
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:16.320
I thought Tampa had some call against them, and I
817
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:19.030
thought the Packers had some call against them that just
818
00:39:19.190 --> 00:39:26.570
normally are penalties you're not used to seeing called. Aside
819
00:39:26.610 --> 00:39:29.099
from that, though, I mean, they still have way too
820
00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:35.829
many false starts and, you know, lining up incorrectly or whatever.
821
00:39:36.650 --> 00:39:39.030
There's still too many of those. And that's a lack
822
00:39:39.070 --> 00:39:42.190
of discipline. It's a lack of concentration. And I'm not
823
00:39:42.250 --> 00:39:44.969
sure what it's going to take other than, you know,
824
00:39:45.030 --> 00:39:48.739
I mean, LeFleur, you know, he was– PO'd in his
825
00:39:48.820 --> 00:39:51.739
post-game press conference and he talked about, you know, the
826
00:39:51.780 --> 00:39:53.800
bench is a good thing, but I mean, you only
827
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:56.519
have so many, you know, from a running back standpoint.
828
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:56.940
All right.
829
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:59.440
So you're going to two of them fumbled, you know,
830
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.800
and the other guys hurt. So, you know, I mean,
831
00:40:03.389 --> 00:40:07.530
to me, the only real answer is, is somebody has
832
00:40:07.570 --> 00:40:11.670
got to learn the hard way. Not just, not just
833
00:40:11.750 --> 00:40:14.510
for a series or two. It's like, they've got to be,
834
00:40:14.610 --> 00:40:16.050
if you're going to, if you're going to bench somebody,
835
00:40:16.090 --> 00:40:18.590
bench somebody. And do it for the whole game. Put
836
00:40:18.610 --> 00:40:23.789
them in the doghouse, maybe two games. And I don't
837
00:40:23.829 --> 00:40:27.369
know that that's– sometimes the easier way out is to
838
00:40:29.139 --> 00:40:33.179
get rid of a coach and let that be the
839
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:37.940
first example. And then if you have to start cutting
840
00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:41.500
guys and bringing new guys in or whatever. But at
841
00:40:41.539 --> 00:40:44.300
this point in time, the threats have been idle threats.
842
00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:48.050
It's like you just go back to the drawing board
843
00:40:48.110 --> 00:40:53.469
and you work in practice. At some point, if a
844
00:40:53.510 --> 00:40:59.409
player can't concentrate enough to have one of these 53
845
00:40:59.409 --> 00:41:04.250
spots on a roster making good money every week, show
846
00:41:04.269 --> 00:41:06.630
them the door, bring somebody else in. At some point,
847
00:41:08.130 --> 00:41:12.090
because if they don't do something like that, LaFleur is
848
00:41:12.110 --> 00:41:12.889
going to lose his job.
849
00:41:14.530 --> 00:41:16.619
Yeah, a great example of that is going back to
850
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:19.659
the Mike Holmgren era when he benched Edgar Bennett after
851
00:41:19.699 --> 00:41:22.449
a couple of fumbles early in his career. And that
852
00:41:22.489 --> 00:41:26.829
hit home because Bennett protected the ball as good as
853
00:41:26.929 --> 00:41:30.809
anyone during his career in Green Bay. The injuries keep
854
00:41:30.849 --> 00:41:34.250
piling up, Bill. Now it's Edger and Cooper. It is official.
855
00:41:34.550 --> 00:41:37.530
Torn Achilles. He is out for the rest of the year.
856
00:41:37.989 --> 00:41:42.840
How do they continue to replace their superstars that just
857
00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:44.780
keep going down at an alarming rate?
858
00:41:47.099 --> 00:41:49.739
Well, I don't know that you do replace superstars. That's
859
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.800
the problem. You know, you only have so many superstars.
860
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.739
And from a salary standpoint, I mean, he's still a
861
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.050
young player, so he's not killing them on the– the,
862
00:42:00.130 --> 00:42:04.070
the salary cap deal, but it's, it's tough to find
863
00:42:04.150 --> 00:42:06.389
guys out there unless you want to go trade, unless
864
00:42:06.409 --> 00:42:08.809
you want to give up draft capital in the future,
865
00:42:09.909 --> 00:42:13.670
midway through the season when teams are, have already tossed
866
00:42:13.750 --> 00:42:15.550
in the towel, but they may have a really good
867
00:42:15.570 --> 00:42:17.949
linebacker on their roster, somebody that they don't want to
868
00:42:17.969 --> 00:42:20.590
pay that much money anymore. And if you're willing to
869
00:42:20.630 --> 00:42:24.039
go do that, you know, that's the, that's the possibility. And,
870
00:42:25.699 --> 00:42:28.539
But otherwise, it's, you know, you can only lose so many.
871
00:42:28.579 --> 00:42:31.539
And then, you know, once you've stacked up your salary cap,
872
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.110
I mean, they've already got a number of guys that
873
00:42:35.139 --> 00:42:38.170
have big contracts, you know, and you only have so
874
00:42:38.190 --> 00:42:41.969
much money in the cupboard left. So I don't know
875
00:42:42.010 --> 00:42:44.969
what the answer is, you know, from a depth standpoint.
876
00:42:45.489 --> 00:42:48.769
I mean, I think, you know, McDuffie is a better
877
00:42:48.809 --> 00:42:52.360
than average linebacker and he'll go in and he'll help. He's,
878
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.960
you know, he's not Edger and Cooper by any stretch, right?
879
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:59.059
But I think they'll, you know, with he and Franklin,
880
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.659
I think from a one-two, the problem is now if
881
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:04.539
one of those guys gets hurt, you know, then there's
882
00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:08.239
really nothing in the tank left over. Like I say,
883
00:43:08.260 --> 00:43:10.559
I don't know where you go. I mean, you know,
884
00:43:10.579 --> 00:43:15.929
you just wait until somebody probably becomes available. If you
885
00:43:16.030 --> 00:43:18.710
deem that position to be one that you really got
886
00:43:18.730 --> 00:43:21.210
to go find somebody, then you just got to do it.
887
00:43:21.610 --> 00:43:24.130
And they've done that in the past. But you can
888
00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:25.210
only do that so many times.
889
00:43:25.889 --> 00:43:29.260
The Packers will get another backup quarterback next week against
890
00:43:29.389 --> 00:43:32.139
the Chicago Bears. How do the Packers stack up in
891
00:43:32.179 --> 00:43:35.360
their current state against their division rival against the Bears?
892
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:36.320
Leo's shaking his head.
893
00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:38.780
Not great, Bill. Yeah, exactly.
894
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:40.380
How do you think the Packers stack up the way
895
00:43:40.420 --> 00:43:42.059
they are and the way the Bears are with a
896
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:42.760
backup quarterback?
897
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.820
Oh, I would agree with Leo. I think the Bears
898
00:43:47.860 --> 00:43:50.039
are playing pretty good football right now. And the fact
899
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:52.639
what they've done with their two backups the last two
900
00:43:52.699 --> 00:43:55.969
weeks is just goes to show you the state of
901
00:43:56.010 --> 00:43:58.369
where that football team is compared to where the Packers
902
00:43:58.429 --> 00:44:01.530
are right now. I mean, you lose your starting quarterback
903
00:44:01.550 --> 00:44:05.530
for X amount of weeks and bring two different backups
904
00:44:05.710 --> 00:44:09.380
in over the last two. And, you know, I mean,
905
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:12.960
the Packers are, something's going to have to, I mean,
906
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.219
lightning's going to have to strike the way the Packers
907
00:44:16.260 --> 00:44:19.539
are playing right now for them to win that football game. And,
908
00:44:19.889 --> 00:44:23.050
you know, I don't know if you saw Tom Palacero's report.
909
00:44:24.690 --> 00:44:27.909
you know, everybody's thinking that, you know, Micah Parsons is
910
00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:31.460
coming back sooner than later. Well, according to Tom Pellicero,
911
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:34.420
he's not ready to come back and he might not
912
00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:39.639
be back until easily sometime in November. So it did,
913
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:43.800
you know, there's another problem for the Packers is, you know,
914
00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:47.469
you lost a very important player on the inside and
915
00:44:47.769 --> 00:44:50.269
you still don't have, you know, that number one guy
916
00:44:50.309 --> 00:44:55.039
on the outside. And I think, you know, I think
917
00:44:55.059 --> 00:44:58.480
Gannon's going to have to continue to blitz probably more
918
00:44:58.500 --> 00:45:00.780
than he has already, but he had to blitz to
919
00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:03.679
win that football game. If he doesn't blitz, I don't know,
920
00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:05.590
Tampa Bay might have come down and gotten at least
921
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:07.050
in the field goal range that we might have been
922
00:45:07.070 --> 00:45:08.030
talking about over time.
923
00:45:09.449 --> 00:45:12.210
Well, Bill, we appreciate your time and hopping aboard here
924
00:45:12.289 --> 00:45:15.170

926
00:45:17.590 --> 00:45:18.130
again in a week.
927
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:19.989
All right.
928
00:45:20.050 --> 00:45:20.679
Sounds good, guys.
929
00:45:20.699 --> 00:45:23.949

934
00:45:32.539 --> 00:45:35.619
Cousin Al on the Cecil Electronics text line. Eric Kendricks
935
00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:39.159
and Bobby Wagner are free agents. I'd kick the tires on. Yeah,
936
00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:41.170
I'm sure it's going to be like the offensive line.
937
00:45:41.710 --> 00:45:46.409
But they do have Popper. I had heard Evan Williams
938
00:45:46.489 --> 00:45:50.289
is potentially going, not playing inside linebacker, but In certain
939
00:45:50.389 --> 00:45:55.309
schemes and fronts, he may slide in to that role because, remember,
940
00:45:55.329 --> 00:45:58.369
you have Javon Bullard that can... That's true. Yeah, so
941
00:45:58.710 --> 00:46:01.820
they're strong at safety, so they might be playing all
942
00:46:01.860 --> 00:46:04.360
three of them in some capacity, but we'll see how
943
00:46:04.380 --> 00:46:08.139
it plays out, man. If they're 2-7... Oh, boy. I mean,
944
00:46:08.739 --> 00:46:11.079
would you even bring Micah back at that point? No.
945
00:46:11.619 --> 00:46:12.739
Just let him heal up?
946
00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:14.280
Well, yeah, you don't want a guy to miss a
947
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.070
full season, I don't think, but get him some reps
948
00:46:17.150 --> 00:46:19.699
in the year. Even if they're light reps... Half a
949
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:20.489
game or something like that.
950
00:46:21.510 --> 00:46:23.010
We'll see how it plays out, man. We will.
951
00:46:23.210 --> 00:46:24.650

Not a single job in this town.
960
00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:50.280

Take the Tanner's bus on Sunday.
996
00:48:45.590 --> 00:48:47.869
That's right. If you're going to the Bears game, Tanner's
997
00:48:47.889 --> 00:48:50.630
has a bus. Why not let them drive? You can
998
00:48:50.670 --> 00:48:53.289
get there and back. I mean, there's a good meeting
999
00:48:53.349 --> 00:48:54.329
point right next to the stadium.
1000
00:48:54.349 --> 00:48:57.670
You don't have to worry about parking hassles. Exactly. Traffic.
1001
00:48:57.690 --> 00:49:01.300
You can just sit back, relax, talk with your posse.
1002
00:49:01.739 --> 00:49:03.980
That's true. With your friends, your pals, your amigos.
1003

If you're going, you've got to take the Tanner's bus.
1004
00:49:06.780 --> 00:49:08.139
All right, here's what's coming up in hour number two.
1005
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:10.280
Some Bucky banter. The Badgers, we're going to cross all.
1006
00:49:11.019 --> 00:49:14.769
The Wisconsin sports from the weekend. The Badgers beat Michigan State.
1007
00:49:14.789 --> 00:49:18.210
They roll them. Big time. The Badgers at four wins
1008
00:49:18.269 --> 00:49:21.260
now this season already. We'll talk about that. in Bucky Banter.
1009
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:23.659
And then we'll touch on today's score poll. Back to
1010
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:28.380
the Brewers. Your favorite Brewers moments in history after Churrio's
1011
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.619
walk-off in yesterday's game. We'll have some audio from that
1012
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:32.519
moment as well.
1013
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:34.739
Oh, yeah. Is that the one I sent you?
1014
00:49:35.139 --> 00:49:39.480
Well, yes, that one of Churrio. Jeff Levering's call over
1015
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:43.449
on WHBY, by the way, on Brewers Radio Network. I
1016
00:49:43.489 --> 00:49:46.389
got the FS1. There's a couple moments in the score
1017
00:49:46.429 --> 00:49:48.150
poll that are mentioned that I have the audio of
1018
00:49:48.210 --> 00:49:51.289
those moments as well. So it'll be a fun, nostalgic
1019
00:49:51.389 --> 00:49:55.130
segment coming up next. After we do some Bucky Banter first,
1020
00:49:55.150 --> 00:49:56.989
we'll get to Stiff of the Day, and then we'll
1021
00:49:57.030 --> 00:49:58.329
wrap it up at the end of the program. That
1022
00:49:58.369 --> 00:50:00.329
is your hour number two sports menu brought to you
1023
00:50:00.369 --> 00:50:06.130
by Tanner's Grill and Bar. Leo, countdown's on, pal. Badgers
1024
00:50:06.170 --> 00:50:08.289
two wins away from bowl eligibility.
1025
00:50:08.309 --> 00:50:12.710
I was thinking about that late in that game. Tony's
1026
00:50:12.750 --> 00:50:15.610
probably all excited. They're only two games away from going
1027
00:50:15.659 --> 00:50:18.340
to a bowl game. But, yeah, it was a nice victory.
1028
00:50:19.300 --> 00:50:22.619
Colton Joseph looks like he's going to be the man
1029
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:26.300
getting this team back to a bowl game. I mean,
1030
00:50:26.340 --> 00:50:28.980
it would be, talk about, it would have to be
1031
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:32.630
a total collapse for them not to get to six
1032
00:50:32.690 --> 00:50:34.769
wins now that they're, what, four and one?
1033
00:50:35.460 --> 00:50:36.260
Yeah, 4-1, yep.
1034
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:39.460
Yeah, only losing to Notre Dame. Man, they might be
1035
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:41.880
getting votes for the top 25. Are they going to
1036
00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:43.820
be getting ranked here soon in the coaches' bowl? We'll
1037
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:45.079
find out maybe in the next hour.
1038
00:50:45.300 --> 00:50:48.449
Yeah, that's true. Let's take a look at our predictions
1039
00:50:48.489 --> 00:50:51.150
of this game. You had a 30-20 victory. I had
1040
00:50:51.210 --> 00:50:56.070
a 27-12 victory. 31-3 was the final. Colton Joseph threw
1041
00:50:56.090 --> 00:50:58.769
three touchdowns in the game. He ran for a touchdown
1042
00:50:58.849 --> 00:51:02.300
over 140 yards both through the air and on the
1043
00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:06.630
ground for Colton Joseph in yesterday's game. And, again, great
1044
00:51:06.670 --> 00:51:09.389
defensive play. Held Michigan State to three points. It's not
1045
00:51:09.409 --> 00:51:12.329
a great team, but still a good win for a team.
1046
00:51:12.349 --> 00:51:15.010
No, it's kind of like your fantasy team. This could
1047
00:51:15.030 --> 00:51:16.750
be a rebuilding year for the Michigan State.
1048
00:51:16.769 --> 00:51:20.090
Don't get me started. Two players get injured yesterday in game.
1049
00:51:20.309 --> 00:51:22.190
Yeah. Maybe you should be the stiff of the day
1050
00:51:22.230 --> 00:51:27.050
again for being 0-4. Maybe. You should be 1-3. I
1051
00:51:27.110 --> 00:51:27.489
should be.
1052
00:51:27.510 --> 00:51:32.610
1-3. Is that really a consolation prize anyways, 1-3 over 0-4?
1053
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:32.659
No.
1054
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:35.010
Unbelievable.
1055
00:51:35.110 --> 00:51:37.449
Well, hey, you can always pray to get the number
1056
00:51:37.510 --> 00:51:38.269
one pick next year.
1057
00:51:38.809 --> 00:51:42.309
Oh, I'm praying. It's a rebuilding year one.
1058
00:51:42.530 --> 00:51:44.369
Well, he sucks at fantasy football.
1059
00:51:44.769 --> 00:51:46.130
It's not a good team. I thought he had a
1060
00:51:46.130 --> 00:51:47.730
really good team. Anyways.
1061
00:51:47.769 --> 00:51:49.010
Everyone does after the draft.
1062
00:51:49.110 --> 00:51:52.050
The Badgers have a bye this weekend. They don't play
1063
00:51:52.070 --> 00:51:54.639
again until October 17th when they head to UCLA.
1064
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:57.619
All right. We're going to just focus on the Brewers
1065
00:51:57.980 --> 00:52:02.380
and the Packers getting their Butts tanned by the Bears.
1066
00:52:02.539 --> 00:52:05.679
That's right. Yeah, it's a tough stretch for Bucky coming
1067
00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:08.760
up here in the next three at UCLA, host USC
1068
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:11.820
at Iowa. It eases up from there, but the next
1069
00:52:11.860 --> 00:52:13.800
three are really rather rough.
1070
00:52:13.820 --> 00:52:15.860
Yeah, if you can get one of those, you'll probably
1071
00:52:15.929 --> 00:52:20.139
be pretty happy. But, yeah, as improved as they are
1072
00:52:20.179 --> 00:52:23.969
when I watch other college games, specifically Big Ten teams
1073
00:52:24.389 --> 00:52:26.809
up at the top, they still have a little bit
1074
00:52:26.829 --> 00:52:27.409
of ways to go.
1075
00:52:27.630 --> 00:52:27.949
They do.
1076
00:52:27.969 --> 00:52:31.659
But definitely improved, definitely on the right track. I'd like to,
1077
00:52:33.820 --> 00:52:36.340
I can't wait until the new Phenom running back is
1078
00:52:36.380 --> 00:52:38.219
with the team next year. Although, he did take a
1079
00:52:38.260 --> 00:52:40.260
trip to Madison. We're going to have to ask Brian
1080
00:52:40.300 --> 00:52:40.980
Butch about that.
1081
00:52:41.420 --> 00:52:41.860
Oh, really?
1082
00:52:43.139 --> 00:52:45.840
He took a trip to Minnesota, actually. Kingston, Allen.
1083
00:52:46.010 --> 00:52:46.340
No!
1084
00:52:46.590 --> 00:52:46.829
Yeah.
1085
00:52:47.110 --> 00:52:47.369
Why?
1086
00:52:47.429 --> 00:52:48.269
Just for fun, I hope?
1087
00:52:48.469 --> 00:52:50.530
I don't know. Uh-oh. I know, and we'll have to
1088
00:52:50.590 --> 00:52:52.610
read up on that. But I did see that.
1089
00:52:52.710 --> 00:52:54.710
He's a high schooler, so I wonder if, you know, like,
1090
00:52:55.989 --> 00:52:57.969
it probably wouldn't be best to put him on the spot. But, like,
1091
00:52:58.190 --> 00:53:01.400
why don't we just, he's, 30 minutes up 41. We
1092
00:53:01.420 --> 00:53:04.409
just talked to him ourselves. Hey, Kingston, what are you
1093
00:53:04.429 --> 00:53:05.969
thinking here, pal? Any way we can help?
1094
00:53:05.989 --> 00:53:07.949
You're not leaving Wisconsin.
1095
00:53:08.289 --> 00:53:09.969
Would we become.
1096
00:53:10.570 --> 00:53:12.710
Well, there's that PJ Fleck trying to be stiff of
1097
00:53:12.750 --> 00:53:14.110
the day and week again.
1098
00:53:14.489 --> 00:53:18.969
Would we be non-monetary boosters for the program if we
1099
00:53:19.929 --> 00:53:23.030
talk a local high school athlete into staying with the Badgers?
1100
00:53:23.090 --> 00:53:23.429
I don't know.
1101
00:53:23.449 --> 00:53:29.860
I don't know if that's anything unofficially... problematic for that.
1102
00:53:29.820 --> 00:53:32.480
Yeah i don't think so either i don't think so either.
1103
00:53:32.340 --> 00:53:34.300
We get him in trouble with the wia could.
1104
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:36.659
We get him in trouble could we get ourselves in
1105
00:53:36.699 --> 00:53:37.219
trouble i.
1106
00:53:37.219 --> 00:53:39.139
Don't know we better stay away from it tony i
1107
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:42.639
think so and those scenarios uh best uh to err
1108
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.630
on the side of caution yes yes indeed that's what
1109
00:53:45.710 --> 00:53:48.409
i always say anyway if you want to write that down.
1110
00:53:48.250 --> 00:53:51.329
I i will on my my leo isms note.
1111
00:53:51.389 --> 00:53:53.949
Yeah you know err on the side of caution.
1112
00:53:53.530 --> 00:53:56.219
Don't burn bridges err on the side of caution Make
1113
00:53:56.239 --> 00:53:56.739
your free throws.
1114
00:53:56.800 --> 00:53:59.300
Run the damn football. Make your free throws and bunt
1115
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.010
the damn. Why didn't Bryce rank bunt yesterday, by the way,
1116
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:07.349
after the cheerio was hit by a pitch? He's facing
1117
00:54:07.369 --> 00:54:07.829
a lefty.
1118
00:54:08.050 --> 00:54:08.289
Yeah.
1119
00:54:08.369 --> 00:54:11.070
He's struggling. He should have been bunting right there. Yeah,
1120
00:54:11.210 --> 00:54:15.190
I don't know. I mean, he. That's the only bad
1121
00:54:15.269 --> 00:54:18.570
move from Pat Murphy. Did you see, by the way,
1122
00:54:18.989 --> 00:54:20.610
I know we're supposed to be talking Badgers here, but
1123
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:25.440
Matt Erickson on the pregame. I did. Rules and Regulations.
1124
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:28.800
Where he said this has never happened in 19 years
1125
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.519
that he's been there. Now it's going to happen tonight.
1126
00:54:32.019 --> 00:54:34.239
That the ball's going to hit the roof or a cable.
1127
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:35.039
And indeed it did.
1128
00:54:35.059 --> 00:54:37.559
Yeah. Well, that Matt, he's so prophetic.
1129
00:54:37.780 --> 00:54:39.400
Yeah, has he responded to your text?
1130
00:54:39.500 --> 00:54:43.000
Nope, still waiting. Come on. He must have got a
1131
00:54:43.019 --> 00:54:43.559
different number.
1132
00:54:44.900 --> 00:54:47.719
Probably. Or just blocked you.
1133
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:53.010
Yeah. Yeah, I used to talk to Leo every home
1134
00:54:53.070 --> 00:54:55.980
series when– They come out to the Fox City Stadium,
1135
00:54:56.039 --> 00:54:59.199
and I know his family. I mean, come on. He's
1136
00:54:59.239 --> 00:54:59.980
got to have a different number.
1137
00:55:00.099 --> 00:55:02.039
Maybe, yeah, maybe he had, like, I don't know if
1138
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:03.599
this is a thing or not, but maybe the Timber
1139
00:55:03.619 --> 00:55:06.619
Rattlers had his own number that you could chime in on.
1140
00:55:06.699 --> 00:55:09.320
Like his own phone property of the Timber Rattlers.
1141
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:09.559
Yeah.
1142
00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:11.380
So that his personal number wasn't going out.
1143
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:12.099
I don't know.
1144
00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:13.619
Let's see the last time he actually got back to us.
1145
00:55:13.619 --> 00:55:15.010
Well, let's just call him right now. Give me his number.
1146
00:55:15.070 --> 00:55:16.730
Read it on air, and I'll call him. We'll see.
1147
00:55:17.269 --> 00:55:20.929
We'll find out who has this number. Oh, dang it.
1148
00:55:20.949 --> 00:55:26.389
Let's just go back. To see when is the last
1149
00:55:26.409 --> 00:55:29.389
time he actually got back to me. All right. So
1150
00:55:29.429 --> 00:55:33.719
I sent him a text on Friday, August 7th at 7.15 p.m.
1151
00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:38.579
when I was there at the game. Regular season. And
1152
00:55:38.619 --> 00:55:41.579
then 2023. Hi, Matt. Are you throwing your hat in
1153
00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:43.639
the ring for the manager's job in Milwaukee? Don't forget
1154
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:46.039
about bulky and me. Leo. Nothing.
1155
00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:51.260
Nothing. Is this someone like he would respond to you
1156
00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:55.039
if he wasn't? Like, if he was still locally here. Yeah,
1157
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:57.699
I think he would. Like, it's 2021. You could banter
1158
00:55:57.719 --> 00:55:59.400
with him via text. He would respond to you.
1159
00:56:00.380 --> 00:56:00.880
I think so.
1160
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:03.519
Okay. But just this day and age, he's just not
1161
00:56:03.559 --> 00:56:04.119
living up to it.
1162
00:56:04.260 --> 00:56:04.480
Okay.
1163
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:04.900
Yeah.
1164
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:08.000
Somehow, someway, he's forgot about me.
1165
00:56:10.019 --> 00:56:12.159
If I ever meet him, I'll ask him.
1166
00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:15.559
He's the nicest guy. Come on. We go way back.
1167
00:56:15.579 --> 00:56:19.699
I mean, I've known him for at least as long
1168
00:56:19.739 --> 00:56:20.469
as I've worked here.
1169
00:56:20.489 --> 00:56:21.090
Right.
1170
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:24.199
His dad was our baseball coach at Appleton West and
1171
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:24.960
Phi Ed teacher.
1172
00:56:24.980 --> 00:56:26.440
And that's been since the 40s, right?
1173
00:56:29.139 --> 00:56:33.150
Oh, Tony. You're almost as funny as that crystal in
1174
00:56:33.190 --> 00:56:35.130
the sales office or whatever her name is.
1175
00:56:35.449 --> 00:56:38.130
Yes, that's right. Kristen, I think, is actually.
1176
00:56:38.150 --> 00:56:39.809
Yeah, I saw her in the hallway when I was
1177
00:56:40.869 --> 00:56:44.119
going to the men's room. Oh, look at this old
1178
00:56:44.139 --> 00:56:47.019
guy walking down the hall. He can barely walk. And
1179
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:49.940
then she wonders why I pick on her. You're so
1180
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:51.340
mean to Bryce Terangue.
1181
00:56:51.550 --> 00:56:54.349
Has anyone ever tried to push you over while you're
1182
00:56:54.369 --> 00:56:54.929
in this seat?
1183
00:56:56.159 --> 00:56:56.559
I wouldn't be.
1184
00:56:57.320 --> 00:56:58.639
Would that just be a knockout punch?
1185
00:56:58.820 --> 00:57:01.599
DJ DeGrade is always trying to give me a back adjustment.
1186
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:04.400
He goes, just stand still. He wants to lift me up.
1187
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:08.159
I go, no, we're not doing that. Keep your paws
1188
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:10.289
off me. You don't like to be touched. You don't
1189
00:57:10.309 --> 00:57:12.809
like to be hugged. Any of you guys touch me
1190
00:57:12.869 --> 00:57:16.449
or any of my stuff, and I'll kill you. Stripes.
1191
00:57:17.070 --> 00:57:18.130
Yes, that's right.
1192
00:57:18.389 --> 00:57:23.699
Francis. Lighten up, Francis. Yep. My name is Francis Sawyer. Oh,
1193
00:57:23.900 --> 00:57:26.400
he's Francis. I don't want any of you guys touching
1194
00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:28.119
me or any of my stuff. Any of you guys
1195
00:57:28.139 --> 00:57:30.469
touch me or any of my stuff, and I'll kill you.
1196
00:57:30.909 --> 00:57:35.110
That's true. That's a funny part. Oh, look at all
1197
00:57:35.150 --> 00:57:37.710
these texts coming in here. David Spriggetti and Appleton Tony,
1198
00:57:37.730 --> 00:57:39.469
a little hard on Leo. Well, I got to be.
1199
00:57:39.570 --> 00:57:41.110
I mean, you got to take him down a peg.
1200
00:57:41.710 --> 00:57:44.429
Dice Shaking Lamar says, he, Matt Erickson, didn't get a
1201
00:57:44.449 --> 00:57:46.920
personal invite to Leo Palooza, so he cut you off.
1202
00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:47.949
Could that be it?
1203
00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:49.280
Well, I think he had a game that night.
1204
00:57:50.139 --> 00:57:50.659
Well, that could be.
1205
00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:53.019
I wonder if I'm friends with him on Facebook.
1206
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:57.340
There you go. Maybe he's under a different name, an alias, maybe.
1207
00:57:57.360 --> 00:57:59.659
I don't know. We have a couple of texts in
1208
00:58:00.099 --> 00:58:01.420
about the Brewers. We'll get to that here in the
1209
00:58:01.460 --> 00:58:04.090
next segment. We're about time for our next break. And
1210
00:58:04.110 --> 00:58:06.389
when we come back, we'll do the score poll and
1211
00:58:06.429 --> 00:58:08.409
get to more of your Brewer thoughts. All of them.
1212
00:58:08.690 --> 00:58:09.010
All of them.
1213
00:58:09.610 --> 00:58:11.710
Coming up after our next break here in the next
1214
00:58:11.789 --> 00:58:14.150
two minutes or so. While Leo looks to see if
1215
00:58:14.190 --> 00:58:16.010
he's friends with Matt Erickson on Facebook.
1216
00:58:16.469 --> 00:58:21.739
Yeah, I don't think he's on Facebook. Oh, wait a minute. Uh-oh. Well,
1217
00:58:21.989 --> 00:58:25.579
there's John Wani, who is my former boss here at
1218
00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:31.699
Woodward Stadium, hanging out with Matt. When was that? Pickleball
1219
00:58:31.739 --> 00:58:33.840
or happy hour with a group. He plays a lot
1220
00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:39.539
of pickleball in the offseason. I don't think– I think he's, like,
1221
00:58:40.860 --> 00:58:45.360
got that celebrity status on Facebook, not just a personal account.
1222
00:58:45.500 --> 00:58:47.320
Yeah, that could be.
1223
00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:48.300
Alan Butternut.
1224
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:48.739
Like you?
1225
00:58:49.420 --> 00:58:51.460
On the Cease Electronics Text Line, yeah. Where does that
1226
00:58:51.500 --> 00:58:55.449
Jackson Cheerio currently stand among the franchise all-time greats? Interesting question.
1227
00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:57.070
We'll answer that in the next segment, right?
1228
00:58:57.090 --> 00:58:59.469
We will. Trapper Bob and Nina, you're the score squad's
1229
00:58:59.510 --> 00:59:01.949
big toe, Leo. There you go, Trapper Bob. That's why
1230
00:59:01.989 --> 00:59:03.429
Trapper Bob and I see eye to eye. What does
1231
00:59:03.449 --> 00:59:03.869
that mean?
1232
00:59:04.449 --> 00:59:09.909
I'm the big toe, like, in stripes. Bill Murray was like.
1233
00:59:10.909 --> 00:59:15.030
Sergeant Hulka, you're the big toe. But when you're not here,
1234
00:59:15.179 --> 00:59:17.800
I volunteer my leadership to the squad.
1235
00:59:17.820 --> 00:59:20.360
Credit Union Phil Leo saying, anyone touches me or my stuff,
1236
00:59:20.460 --> 00:59:22.159
I'll kill them. Should be in the show intro.
1237
00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:23.679
It can be.
1238
00:59:23.980 --> 00:59:26.179
Get on that, PJ, who does our imaging. He does
1239
00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:27.099
a great job with it, by the way.
1240
00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:28.820
Oh, he does a fantastic job.
1241
00:59:29.019 --> 00:59:29.380
That's right.
1242
00:59:29.869 --> 00:59:32.550
Trapper Bob coming back again. I can help you contact
1243
00:59:32.590 --> 00:59:34.230
Matt if you need it, Leo. You can call me
1244
00:59:34.309 --> 00:59:34.630
up here.
1245
00:59:34.829 --> 00:59:36.909
Oh, look at this. Big wig over here.
1246
00:59:37.769 --> 00:59:39.590
I don't really need to contact him. I just wonder
1247
00:59:39.630 --> 00:59:43.219
why he hasn't gotten back to me. Maybe we'll have
1248
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:47.679
to compare numbers. Maybe I just have an old number, Matt. Matt,
1249
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:49.099
Trapper Bob. Whoever.
1250
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:50.000
All of them.
1251
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:51.019
You guys are all the same to me.
1252
00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:53.239
We'll touch on the score pole when we come back.
1253
00:59:53.300 --> 00:59:53.800
It's the show.
1254
00:59:58.280 --> 00:59:58.800
Here's the pitch.
1255
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.539
Line drive. Base hit up the middle.
1256
01:00:03.900 --> 01:00:09.030
Yelling scores.
1257
01:00:09.110 --> 01:00:11.690
Here comes Freeland to the plate to throw. Brewers win.
1258
01:00:11.750 --> 01:00:12.949
Jackson Turio gives the Brewers a.
1259
01:00:12.909 --> 01:00:13.670
2-0 series lead.
1260
01:00:15.570 --> 01:00:18.969
You have got to be kidding me. Three walks by
1261
01:00:18.989 --> 01:00:24.340
the Brewers to set up the 22-year-old Jackson Turio, and
1262
01:00:24.420 --> 01:00:27.599
he shines like he always does.
1263
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:29.460
Welcome back to the show with Tony G and Leo.
1264
01:00:29.849 --> 01:00:32.769
yeah jackson sure here i actually wanted to play a.
1265
01:00:33.570 --> 01:00:35.429
Uh a box version where you can't even hear the
1266
01:00:35.550 --> 01:00:37.909
uh hear the announcers because.
1267
01:00:37.710 --> 01:00:39.989
It's so loud i wanted to play this as a
1268
01:00:40.010 --> 01:00:46.170
bumper music hey hey brewer fever baby.
1269
01:00:48.030 --> 01:00:49.949
Everyone's a fan now that's right.
1270
01:00:52.349 --> 01:00:55.449
Oh my goodness if you i'm sure leo you and
1271
01:00:55.510 --> 01:00:58.949
i live Quite a bit. It's well known. I'm a
1272
01:00:58.980 --> 01:01:02.900
Green Bay guy. You're a Kimberly guy. We live, what,
1273
01:01:02.940 --> 01:01:05.239
maybe a half hour from each other. I'm sure you
1274
01:01:05.260 --> 01:01:07.599
could have heard me screaming from my living room.
1275
01:01:07.619 --> 01:01:09.300
I did. I said, boy, that came in hot.
1276
01:01:10.610 --> 01:01:16.349
That's right. When Jackson Churio sent that 101-mile-an-hour fastball right
1277
01:01:16.389 --> 01:01:18.760
past Mason Miller and into center field, I hop up,
1278
01:01:18.820 --> 01:01:22.619
you know, because you're all tense. It's all building inside
1279
01:01:22.659 --> 01:01:23.780
of you, the emotion.
1280
01:01:23.900 --> 01:01:24.179
Yeah.
1281
01:01:24.380 --> 01:01:26.619
And then it happens, and you're like, no way.
1282
01:01:26.900 --> 01:01:27.199
Yeah.
1283
01:01:27.260 --> 01:01:29.239
I mean, you and I were in touch. I took
1284
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:31.400
a little break. I took the vet for a little
1285
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:33.989
spin when they weren't hitting the ball. I just wanted
1286
01:01:34.030 --> 01:01:36.670
to go breathe a little bit. Fired up the grill.
1287
01:01:37.329 --> 01:01:39.769
You know, sitting outside, it was quite nice. The neighbors
1288
01:01:39.809 --> 01:01:43.300
had the grill. He's got a big TV in his garage.
1289
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:46.840
They're all sitting in the sunny driveway watching the game.
1290
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:49.079
And you were staying in touch with me. Phil was
1291
01:01:49.099 --> 01:01:51.619
staying in touch with me. And I said, screw it.
1292
01:01:51.619 --> 01:01:53.059
I'm going to go back and watch the last couple
1293
01:01:53.099 --> 01:01:56.889
of innings. Well, I'm glad I did because it turned
1294
01:01:56.949 --> 01:01:59.849
out well. Chad the Bear fan. Hey, Leo. What do
1295
01:01:59.889 --> 01:02:02.969
you know about killing people like Bill Scott? Leo, what
1296
01:02:02.989 --> 01:02:04.110
do you know about killing people?
1297
01:02:04.150 --> 01:02:04.510
That's right.
1298
01:02:04.789 --> 01:02:09.230
Not much. Never would. What a weekend. Badgers, Brewers, and Bears. Oh, my.
1299
01:02:10.090 --> 01:02:11.559
Don't throw the Bears in there.
1300
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.539
Well, Chad the Bear fan, we'll get your prediction later
1301
01:02:15.579 --> 01:02:20.659
in the week on how the Chicago Massacre coming. I
1302
01:02:21.059 --> 01:02:22.489
just got a feeling it's going to get ugly.
1303
01:02:22.510 --> 01:02:24.449
It's going to get really.
1304
01:02:24.190 --> 01:02:27.230
Ugly because you know darn well Ben Johnson's going to
1305
01:02:27.949 --> 01:02:31.070
run that score up. He will run it up until
1306
01:02:32.030 --> 01:02:34.090
he'll probably get stiff of the day for it on Monday.
1307
01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:36.699
Anyway, back to the crew. Young Vern, do you think
1308
01:02:36.800 --> 01:02:38.820
Pat Murphy could take over for the Packers if the
1309
01:02:38.860 --> 01:02:41.239
Brewers win the World Series?
1310
01:02:42.019 --> 01:02:42.219
No.
1311
01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:42.920
I don't think so.
1312
01:02:43.179 --> 01:02:46.190
No, I don't think he could. That's a good thought.
1313
01:02:46.710 --> 01:02:50.489
And then, you know, the question that Alan Butternut gave
1314
01:02:50.550 --> 01:02:52.090
us right before the last break, so we can talk
1315
01:02:52.130 --> 01:02:54.889
about it here, where does Jackson Churio currently stand amongst
1316
01:02:54.949 --> 01:02:58.550
the franchise's all-time greats? Interesting question. It is because the
1317
01:02:58.590 --> 01:03:03.030
kid is 22 years old. It feels like he's been
1318
01:03:03.070 --> 01:03:06.699
playing for five years now. He is 22 years old, Leo.
1319
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:10.480
Yeah, and they have him locked up for a lot
1320
01:03:10.500 --> 01:03:16.019
of years to come. So he's been quite remarkable. He's
1321
01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:17.619
right up there at the top of the list right
1322
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:21.500
now for what he's done. I mean, he basically, you know,
1323
01:03:21.619 --> 01:03:23.880
big home run in game one, and then he does
1324
01:03:23.940 --> 01:03:24.559
this yesterday.
1325
01:03:25.039 --> 01:03:26.929
You know, and it's an interesting question because you could
1326
01:03:26.949 --> 01:03:29.329
say a lot of guys, you know, the Ryan Brawns
1327
01:03:29.369 --> 01:03:32.409
and Prince Fielders and, They were part of some really
1328
01:03:32.449 --> 01:03:36.699
good playoff runs. But to me, the thing that's separating
1329
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:39.039
Churrio right now, early in his career, is how he's
1330
01:03:39.079 --> 01:03:41.920
doing it in the postseason. Exactly. I mean, he's producing
1331
01:03:41.940 --> 01:03:43.900
in the regular season. I mean, he's had how many
1332
01:03:43.900 --> 01:03:46.599
2020 seasons every year that he's been a big leaguer
1333
01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:49.619
as a 22-year-old. But now he's doing it in October.
1334
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:50.530
Yeah.
1335
01:03:50.630 --> 01:03:52.789
In a way that the Brewers need. There's so much
1336
01:03:52.829 --> 01:03:54.429
concern about all the Brewers aren't going to hit home
1337
01:03:54.469 --> 01:03:56.690
runs in the postseason. Game one, how do they win?
1338
01:03:57.090 --> 01:03:59.269
Jackson Churrio bomb, William Contreras bomb.
1339
01:03:59.389 --> 01:03:59.530
Yeah.
1340
01:04:00.070 --> 01:04:02.519
I mean, they're doing exactly what they were not slated
1341
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:02.820
to do.
1342
01:04:03.380 --> 01:04:06.679
It's remarkable. And there's other unsung heroes in this game.
1343
01:04:06.739 --> 01:04:09.219
I mean, Gary Sanchez has a great at bat, gets
1344
01:04:09.260 --> 01:04:14.139
that walk. Everyone picks on David Hamilton, but he pounds
1345
01:04:14.179 --> 01:04:16.960
that ball into the ground and causes an errant throw
1346
01:04:16.980 --> 01:04:19.340
to get that game to 3-2. And they flat out
1347
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:22.340
said it's because of that. He had to rush it
1348
01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:24.820
because of the speed of Hamilton. Now, he did have
1349
01:04:24.860 --> 01:04:26.380
a blunder in the field, but he also had a
1350
01:04:26.409 --> 01:04:29.289
nice catch. But I was just thinking the whole time
1351
01:04:29.329 --> 01:04:31.650
when they weren't hitting, you know, we always talked about, okay,
1352
01:04:31.670 --> 01:04:33.769
if they're going to get a bat and make a trade,
1353
01:04:34.710 --> 01:04:37.530
where would they play? Because the lineup's set. Well, that's
1354
01:04:37.550 --> 01:04:40.130
a good problem to have. But third base, I mean,
1355
01:04:40.170 --> 01:04:43.030
if they would have got a legit, you know, maybe
1356
01:04:43.070 --> 01:04:45.579
not an all-star third baseman, but somebody with some power,
1357
01:04:46.460 --> 01:04:50.519
this team may be unbeatable at this point. And they
1358
01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:53.519
still may be, but I think that would have kind of, like,
1359
01:04:53.539 --> 01:04:55.559
put them over the top. And I just hope.
1360
01:04:56.030 --> 01:04:56.570
I shouldn't say this.
1361
01:04:56.590 --> 01:04:58.469
Knocking on wood that that doesn't come back to bite him.
1362
01:04:58.550 --> 01:04:59.150
I shouldn't say this.
1363
01:04:59.170 --> 01:05:01.929
Because Ortiz looks a little rusty right now, and I
1364
01:05:01.949 --> 01:05:03.789
think that's why Hamilton got the start yesterday.
1365
01:05:04.610 --> 01:05:06.889
I shouldn't say this, but could you imagine the guy
1366
01:05:06.909 --> 01:05:09.730
I've been calling for for two seasons now, Alex Bregman,
1367
01:05:10.170 --> 01:05:12.769
at third base for the Brewers in this role. Listen,
1368
01:05:13.110 --> 01:05:14.510
you could go there. You could play all the hypotheticals
1369
01:05:14.530 --> 01:05:14.690
you want.
1370
01:05:14.710 --> 01:05:16.269
I think they would have had him last year, but
1371
01:05:16.289 --> 01:05:18.670
he would have left in free agency for a big contract.
1372
01:05:19.170 --> 01:05:21.230
Even if you give him a big contract, even if
1373
01:05:21.269 --> 01:05:23.530
you pay up like you did Lorenzo Cain in 2018–
1374
01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:25.150
and you see how much of an impact he had
1375
01:05:25.369 --> 01:05:26.130
on that lineup.
1376
01:05:26.150 --> 01:05:29.500
Yeah, you know, I like the idea. I'm not discounting it,
1377
01:05:29.570 --> 01:05:33.590
but it's not how they do business in Milwaukee. They
1378
01:05:33.610 --> 01:05:37.050
won 103 games the way they've done it with this roadmap.
1379
01:05:37.489 --> 01:05:41.809
It's working, and they can still play better. I didn't
1380
01:05:41.849 --> 01:05:43.750
think they played that great in either game, and they
1381
01:05:43.769 --> 01:05:44.230
won them both.
1382
01:05:44.329 --> 01:05:46.610
No, absolutely. I mean, the errors yesterday, it almost was
1383
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:49.280
like they were going to lose not playing their best ball.
1384
01:05:49.380 --> 01:05:52.980
I mean, they are a team known for clean defense,
1385
01:05:53.019 --> 01:05:57.420
good base running. And the base running was there for sure,
1386
01:05:57.500 --> 01:06:01.059
but the errors were very uncharacteristic. Bryce Terang with one.
1387
01:06:01.099 --> 01:06:03.400
David Hamilton, you kind of know what you're getting there.
1388
01:06:03.460 --> 01:06:06.400
But still, like you said, unsung heroes too. Sal Frelick,
1389
01:06:07.019 --> 01:06:08.940
how great of a game did he have at the plate?
1390
01:06:09.019 --> 01:06:11.070
Nothing that stands out on a box score, but in
1391
01:06:11.090 --> 01:06:13.300
a way of he was on base, he scored the
1392
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:15.170
winning run, and he was doing what he.
1393
01:06:15.130 --> 01:06:15.369
Had to do.
1394
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:20.579
Prior to Churio's hit to get on base and just
1395
01:06:20.639 --> 01:06:23.440
keep the string moving. It's Brewers doing Brewers baseball.
1396
01:06:23.739 --> 01:06:26.940
Yeah, Yelly got the first hit of the game with
1397
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:30.650
the double. He almost hit a home run. That reminded
1398
01:06:30.690 --> 01:06:34.710
me of the Taylor catch against the Dodgers. And then
1399
01:06:35.210 --> 01:06:37.389
he gets the walk to get with one out in
1400
01:06:37.409 --> 01:06:40.849
the ninth, steals second base, and kind of gets himself
1401
01:06:40.909 --> 01:06:42.889
into scoring position. And that kind of, I think, rattled.
1402
01:06:43.969 --> 01:06:46.380
You know, the Padres a little bit. It was like, oh, boy,
1403
01:06:46.420 --> 01:06:49.199
there's the tying run out there. Now what could go wrong?
1404
01:06:50.139 --> 01:06:53.260
And sure enough, they made it happen. It was a
1405
01:06:53.300 --> 01:06:55.659
magical day, to say the least. And then you look
1406
01:06:55.699 --> 01:06:58.960
forward to what's next. Mason Miller, I get there's an
1407
01:06:59.079 --> 01:07:02.420
off day. He threw 40 pitches yesterday. Yeah, that was–
1408
01:07:02.550 --> 01:07:07.329
Two innings. I did not understand that. There's a lot
1409
01:07:07.369 --> 01:07:09.940
of things– When it gets to playoff baseball, I know
1410
01:07:09.960 --> 01:07:11.760
you've got to throw it out the window. You've just
1411
01:07:11.780 --> 01:07:14.739
got to go with your best players at whatever time
1412
01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.010
of the game it is. But these guys are just
1413
01:07:17.070 --> 01:07:19.789
so ingrained to coming in at the start of an
1414
01:07:19.869 --> 01:07:23.030
inning and just knocking out those three outs.
1415
01:07:23.369 --> 01:07:23.510
Yep.
1416
01:07:24.030 --> 01:07:25.510
It would have been a lot different, I bet, if
1417
01:07:26.210 --> 01:07:27.690
they had a 3-2 lead and he just comes in
1418
01:07:27.730 --> 01:07:29.530
in the ninth. Yeah. I bet it would have been
1419
01:07:29.550 --> 01:07:30.090
a lot different.
1420
01:07:30.170 --> 01:07:30.739
I agree with you.
1421
01:07:30.750 --> 01:07:33.110
I think he was getting tired. Credit Union Phil made
1422
01:07:33.170 --> 01:07:37.500
a comment to me the other night that this guy–
1423
01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:41.050
He sweats so much. And all I could think of,
1424
01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:42.530
I go, was he sweat like the guy from an
1425
01:07:42.780 --> 01:07:45.369
airplane that was trying to land the plane?
1426
01:07:45.610 --> 01:07:46.829
Water pouring off of his face.
1427
01:07:46.849 --> 01:07:47.969
I don't think he was sweating that much.
1428
01:07:48.349 --> 01:07:49.329
No, I don't think so either.
1429
01:07:49.369 --> 01:07:49.670
Yeah.
1430
01:07:49.889 --> 01:07:51.309
One of the best closes in baseball, but you can
1431
01:07:51.329 --> 01:07:53.360
tell he's definitely not used to that situation.
1432
01:07:53.679 --> 01:07:56.119
Yeah, that's, and if they were. He's not used to
1433
01:07:56.139 --> 01:07:58.539
throwing more than 15 pitches an outing. If he was
1434
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:01.360
tipping pitches, I mean that, it all played in the
1435
01:08:01.400 --> 01:08:04.900
Brewers' favor. They played it out. It was a. Murphy
1436
01:08:04.940 --> 01:08:05.800
was a maestro.
1437
01:08:05.940 --> 01:08:09.260
You know, I was talking to Not Credit Union Chris.
1438
01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:11.320
So he wants to go by Not Credit. He's gone
1439
01:08:11.340 --> 01:08:13.070
by Chet. He's gone by Credit Union Chris. Now he
1440
01:08:13.090 --> 01:08:14.710
wants to go by Not Credit Union Chris as a
1441
01:08:14.730 --> 01:08:15.929
playoff of Credit Union Phil.
1442
01:08:16.050 --> 01:08:18.529
Does he text the show? He does. Okay.
1443
01:08:18.710 --> 01:08:20.869
So I was talking with Not Credit Union Chris about this.
1444
01:08:21.590 --> 01:08:23.149
And I kind of want to build off of what
1445
01:08:23.170 --> 01:08:27.189
you just said there in pulling in Saturday's game with
1446
01:08:27.250 --> 01:08:27.890
the roof ball.
1447
01:08:28.170 --> 01:08:28.369
Yeah.
1448
01:08:28.949 --> 01:08:30.409
And he makes a great point that I want to
1449
01:08:30.550 --> 01:08:33.890
correlate on air here in that How often do Wisconsin
1450
01:08:33.909 --> 01:08:35.729
sports teams get breaks like this?
1451
01:08:36.130 --> 01:08:36.770
Not very.
1452
01:08:37.050 --> 01:08:40.369
Usually they're on the other side where something bizarre happens
1453
01:08:40.449 --> 01:08:43.149
and they are the ones who suffer because of it.
1454
01:08:43.539 --> 01:08:45.800
Now the script is kind of changing here. You know,
1455
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:47.760
knock on wood, I'm just talking about the last two games,
1456
01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:50.659
not moving forward. But just how often do things work
1457
01:08:50.699 --> 01:08:51.840
in the Brewers' favor like that?
1458
01:08:52.810 --> 01:08:55.869
Yeah, I was just dumbfounded when that happened. And then
1459
01:08:55.909 --> 01:08:59.010
the FS1 announcers go, yeah, they could overturn this and
1460
01:08:59.050 --> 01:09:00.760
say that was a home run. I was like, what
1461
01:09:00.779 --> 01:09:03.760
are you talking about? Seriously. The ball is in play.
1462
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:07.390
If it hits and falls down for a base hit,
1463
01:09:08.529 --> 01:09:10.729
maybe the Brewers are scrambling for it, throw the ball away,
1464
01:09:10.770 --> 01:09:11.630
and that game's tied.
1465
01:09:11.710 --> 01:09:11.869
Yep.
1466
01:09:12.270 --> 01:09:16.510
So anyone that's scoffing at that play, that's just the
1467
01:09:16.529 --> 01:09:18.770
breaks of the game. They talk about the ground rules
1468
01:09:18.829 --> 01:09:21.149
at the beginning of the game. Going back to Matt Erickson,
1469
01:09:22.550 --> 01:09:23.430
and he called.
1470
01:09:23.189 --> 01:09:27.430
It, which is great. It's a bizarre thing because, like,
1471
01:09:27.989 --> 01:09:30.390
how long have we been watching Brewers baseball at American
1472
01:09:30.409 --> 01:09:33.810
Family Field, Leo? I know it happened in 2008, but
1473
01:09:33.930 --> 01:09:36.520
me personally, I've never seen the roof come into play
1474
01:09:36.539 --> 01:09:36.779
like that.
1475
01:09:36.859 --> 01:09:40.100
Yeah, it's, you know, and they had the roof open yesterday, so.
1476
01:09:40.420 --> 01:09:40.560
Yep.
1477
01:09:41.500 --> 01:09:43.939
They had every opportunity to hit all kinds of home
1478
01:09:43.979 --> 01:09:47.020
runs in that band box of a stadium that Yeah,
1479
01:09:47.079 --> 01:09:53.100
that's just... They're crying over spilled milk. Come on.
1480
01:09:53.239 --> 01:09:54.479
Saying it could have been a home run.
1481
01:09:54.539 --> 01:09:58.189
Yeah, that's just ridiculous. It wasn't. That's not being very
1482
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:00.229
educated about the ground rules of the stadium.
1483
01:10:00.270 --> 01:10:03.649
You don't turn. It hits something in foul territory that
1484
01:10:03.710 --> 01:10:06.989
is deemed playable. It was caught in play for an out.
1485
01:10:07.289 --> 01:10:09.109
You can't just rule a home run because it looked
1486
01:10:09.130 --> 01:10:09.869
like it was going to.
1487
01:10:09.869 --> 01:10:10.810
Be a home run. Yeah, what's he supposed to do?
1488
01:10:10.850 --> 01:10:11.569
Just let it drop?
1489
01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:12.609
Yeah, exactly.
1490
01:10:12.649 --> 01:10:14.680
Let's go catch it. Smart play.
1491
01:10:16.010 --> 01:10:16.390
Bizarre.
1492
01:10:16.590 --> 01:10:21.590
Jackson Chirio. Yeah, it really was. Both games were, as
1493
01:10:22.189 --> 01:10:24.460
our good friend Bulky said on Thursday, it was going
1494
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:27.779
to be pure pain. It was pain. It was a
1495
01:10:27.979 --> 01:10:28.619
lot of pain.
1496
01:10:28.779 --> 01:10:29.800
Not an enjoyable watch.
1497
01:10:29.819 --> 01:10:30.800
A lot of pain.
1498
01:10:32.020 --> 01:10:35.859
Young Vern says in Pat Murphy's post-game conference after that
1499
01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:38.560
game Saturday night, he said he saw the line of
1500
01:10:38.579 --> 01:10:40.380
the ball and it was going to be foul. And
1501
01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:45.100
if you actually look where Chirio, he spells Chirio like
1502
01:10:45.149 --> 01:10:49.960
the cereal, Sure, why not? Churrio caught it, and how
1503
01:10:50.020 --> 01:10:53.859
it bounced in its angle, it would have been foul. Yeah, probably.
1504
01:10:53.930 --> 01:10:56.489
I mean, if the roof was open, he might have
1505
01:10:56.510 --> 01:10:58.649
hit that thing into airline traffic. I mean, he got
1506
01:10:58.670 --> 01:11:01.029
it so high in the air. The roof, it's not
1507
01:11:01.069 --> 01:11:02.890
like Tampa Bay's roof where it comes in play a
1508
01:11:02.909 --> 01:11:07.970
couple times a season. Miller, American Family Fields Park, the
1509
01:11:08.010 --> 01:11:11.369
stadium roof is incredibly high if you've ever been there.
1510
01:11:11.449 --> 01:11:13.689
It is way up in the air. It takes a
1511
01:11:13.789 --> 01:11:16.750
moon ball. to hit one that high, and that's what
1512
01:11:16.810 --> 01:11:18.630
France did, and it came into play, and it is
1513
01:11:18.649 --> 01:11:19.029
what it is.
1514
01:11:19.229 --> 01:11:21.390
Yeah, and Murphy said if it doesn't hit the roof,
1515
01:11:21.430 --> 01:11:22.850
it's going to fall anyway.
1516
01:11:23.569 --> 01:11:23.989
Yeah.
1517
01:11:24.149 --> 01:11:24.670
Spilled milk.
1518
01:11:24.970 --> 01:11:26.750

1524

Zambrano no-hitter. Your options are the 08, option of beating
1525
01:11:49.220 --> 01:11:55.060
the Cubs and winning the wild card, 2011, Game 5, NLDS. 2018,
1526
01:11:55.060 --> 01:11:59.420
Game 6 of the NLCS to advance to a Game 7,
1527
01:11:59.420 --> 01:12:04.560
which they eventually lost. 2026, yesterday, Game 2, NLDS. Leading
1528
01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:08.310
vote right now is yesterday, Game 2, NLDS by 61%.
1529
01:12:08.310 --> 01:12:09.590
Where do you lean on this one, Leo?
1530
01:12:10.090 --> 01:12:12.210
Well, let's just go through these all. I mean, the
1531
01:12:12.210 --> 01:12:15.359
08 game, I mean, that– That was such a long,
1532
01:12:15.399 --> 01:12:18.989
dry spell. I remember that day, and then you had
1533
01:12:19.010 --> 01:12:26.369
to sit and wait. He's talking about the last game
1534
01:12:26.409 --> 01:12:26.949
of the season?
1535
01:12:26.970 --> 01:12:33.159
I think so. Could it be something like this, where
1536
01:12:33.260 --> 01:12:35.699
it was Ryan Braun's memorable home run against the Cubs?
1537
01:12:35.720 --> 01:12:37.939
This was 2008.
1538
01:12:38.319 --> 01:12:40.710
And there's a drive to the left field. This is
1539
01:12:40.729 --> 01:12:46.750
hit well. And it's good.
1540
01:12:47.310 --> 01:12:50.130
One run.
1541
01:12:50.350 --> 01:12:51.520
A two-run home run.
1542
01:12:51.529 --> 01:12:55.649
The Brewers take the lead. I like it. Yeah, that
1543
01:12:55.689 --> 01:12:57.449
was– and then they had to wait to see if
1544
01:12:57.489 --> 01:12:58.510
the Marlins beat the Mets.
1545
01:12:58.630 --> 01:12:58.789
Yep.
1546
01:12:58.909 --> 01:13:00.210
To see if they got back to the playoffs.
1547
01:13:00.390 --> 01:13:00.550
Yep.
1548
01:13:00.729 --> 01:13:03.439
So that was an incredibly cool moment because it had
1549
01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:05.640
been since 1982 since they were in the playoffs.
1550
01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:05.859
Yeah.
1551
01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:09.909
So– That only got 8% of the vote, so that's
1552
01:13:09.930 --> 01:13:14.720
kind of telling you about yesterday. But anyway, 2011, yeah,
1553
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:16.899
the Game 5, Niger Morgan. By the way, he threw
1554
01:13:16.939 --> 01:13:19.380
out the first pitch. Do we have footage of that one?
1555
01:13:19.539 --> 01:13:20.619
Oh, we do.
1556
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:21.449
Can you pull that one up?
1557
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:24.510
Is this Euchre? This is Bob Euchre.
1558
01:13:25.520 --> 01:13:26.739
Puts glove on knee as a new sign from Blanco.
1559
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:27.199
He's ready.
1560
01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:27.720
And delivers.
1561
01:13:27.760 --> 01:13:29.140
Morgan a smash up the middle.
1562
01:13:29.180 --> 01:13:30.140
Face hit to center.
1563
01:13:30.220 --> 01:13:30.880
Here comes Gomez.
1564
01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:32.899
Around third. A throw and the Brewers win.
1565
01:13:32.939 --> 01:13:33.829
The Brewers are moving on.
1566
01:13:33.840 --> 01:13:34.739
On a face hit by Nigel Morgan.
1567
01:13:34.960 --> 01:14:01.939
He's being mobbed. Wow, what a scene. Nigel Morgan, who
1568
01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:10.460
has delivered so many times this year, delivers a.
1569
01:14:11.359 --> 01:14:13.729
Base hit to center field to score. Can you imagine
1570
01:14:13.789 --> 01:14:15.329
if Euchre was on the call yesterday?
1571
01:14:15.350 --> 01:14:18.390
Yeah, I wish. Well, he was. He was calling the
1572
01:14:18.409 --> 01:14:20.270
game up in heaven with all his buds. There you go.
1573
01:14:20.449 --> 01:14:25.220
But to get... 31% of the vote on that. That
1574
01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:28.779
was a series-ending walk-off.
1575
01:14:28.979 --> 01:14:31.420
I mean, yesterday was his game, too. That's where I voted.
1576
01:14:31.439 --> 01:14:33.350
That's where you voted. I mean, I can see that.
1577
01:14:34.069 --> 01:14:37.329
I can see that. I remember that day. It was
1578
01:14:37.350 --> 01:14:40.989
a beautiful fall day, watching the game with Chuck Kuyper
1579
01:14:41.029 --> 01:14:44.390
and some other family members. Yeah, that was a good one.
1580
01:14:45.149 --> 01:14:49.140
I'll never forget that day. So it was the game six.
1581
01:14:50.380 --> 01:14:51.739
Was that the Brandon Woodruff home run?
1582
01:14:52.319 --> 01:14:53.279
No, that was game one.
1583
01:14:53.380 --> 01:14:53.659
Okay.
1584
01:14:54.260 --> 01:14:55.500
Which I would put up there on this list.
1585
01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:57.119
So I don't remember. Do we have a clip from
1586
01:14:57.140 --> 01:14:57.560
game six?
1587
01:14:57.720 --> 01:15:01.239
No, because game six, I think, is referring to the
1588
01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:05.020
fact that they, I think they won pretty easily in
1589
01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:06.550
that game to advance to game seven.
1590
01:15:06.859 --> 01:15:08.689
I don't have a highlight for that one, but. Okay,
1591
01:15:08.810 --> 01:15:11.029
that's fine. Well, that's probably why it didn't get any votes.
1592
01:15:11.229 --> 01:15:11.550
That's right.
1593
01:15:12.750 --> 01:15:15.350
So then you go to yesterday. Do you have another
1594
01:15:15.369 --> 01:15:16.750
clip of this game you want to play? I do.
1595
01:15:16.810 --> 01:15:20.210
So we already played Jeff Levering's call over on WHBY yesterday.
1596
01:15:20.250 --> 01:15:22.210
Here's the call on FS1 by Adam Amin.
1597
01:15:24.109 --> 01:15:40.329
That place is so loud.
1598
01:15:40.369 --> 01:15:43.029
Yeah, you can't even really hear the audio that well.
1599
01:15:43.069 --> 01:15:44.310
But it was cool. Sometimes.
1600
01:15:44.619 --> 01:15:44.899
It was.
1601
01:15:45.010 --> 01:15:47.010
I watched it like 16 times. I like the pressure.
1602
01:15:47.090 --> 01:15:49.050
That's a quote from Jack Centurio. And did he back
1603
01:15:49.090 --> 01:15:49.689
it up right there?
1604
01:15:56.050 --> 01:15:59.010
So, I've watched that. I've got to be honest with you.
1605
01:15:59.350 --> 01:16:03.420
I've watched that highlight probably 50 times since.
1606
01:16:03.140 --> 01:16:06.779
It happened yesterday. Yeah, I've watched it quite a few. Yeah,
1607
01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:11.619
that was, I think just because they were behind was
1608
01:16:11.659 --> 01:16:15.229
the final strike of I think you got to give
1609
01:16:15.270 --> 01:16:16.829
it to that one. That's the one I voted for.
1610
01:16:17.050 --> 01:16:22.210
I mean, it just has everyone so happy today. It's remarkable.
1611
01:16:22.770 --> 01:16:26.109
And it's recent. So a lot of times when you
1612
01:16:26.130 --> 01:16:29.489
do poll questions, the most recent big, big play is
1613
01:16:29.550 --> 01:16:34.090
going to win in the voting. And right now it's
1614
01:16:34.329 --> 01:16:36.689
leading the way with 61% of the vote. Yeah.
1615
01:16:37.010 --> 01:16:40.010
And then we had another text in on the Cease
1616
01:16:40.029 --> 01:16:42.729
Electronic Talking text line. Steven Appleton, do you have the call?
1617
01:16:43.229 --> 01:16:45.949
From the Padres announcer. I'm looking for that right now
1618
01:16:46.010 --> 01:16:48.390
since you said it. I don't necessarily have it.
1619
01:16:48.550 --> 01:16:51.550
Yeah, I saw it. Where is it? I'm going to
1620
01:16:51.569 --> 01:16:54.170
keep looking for it. It was on the X machine
1621
01:16:54.210 --> 01:16:59.789
this morning. Of course. Even that. What about the ESPN call?
1622
01:17:00.369 --> 01:17:00.710
Oh, yeah.
1623
01:17:00.890 --> 01:17:01.550
John Shambi.
1624
01:17:01.710 --> 01:17:01.810
Yeah.
1625
01:17:01.829 --> 01:17:03.310
Well, see, here's the thing, though. The Cubs guy.
1626
01:17:03.680 --> 01:17:08.699
John Shambi, the current Cubs announcer. Doug Glanville, a former
1627
01:17:08.739 --> 01:17:09.239
Cubs player.
1628
01:17:09.260 --> 01:17:10.630
Yeah, Glanville wasn't happy at all.
1629
01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:10.720
Yeah.
1630
01:17:10.819 --> 01:17:12.100
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
1631
01:17:12.279 --> 01:17:13.899
Yeah, he smiled a little bit, but he didn't say
1632
01:17:13.970 --> 01:17:17.470
a word. Well, stiffs. We could give them stiff of
1633
01:17:17.489 --> 01:17:20.630
the day. Yeah, we could. Now they're stiff of the day.
1634
01:17:20.649 --> 01:17:21.670
They're coming through the woodwork.
1635
01:17:21.729 --> 01:17:23.949
Yeah, and as are more texts on the Cease Electronic
1636
01:17:23.970 --> 01:17:24.630
Talking Text Line.
1637
01:17:25.449 --> 01:17:29.130
Young Vern said, yeah, he was down at Riverside, and
1638
01:17:29.149 --> 01:17:32.729
he should have heard the people screaming. It was super loud. Yeah,
1639
01:17:32.789 --> 01:17:36.869
it was a magical moment that we haven't gotten that
1640
01:17:36.890 --> 01:17:39.949
many of those in Wisconsin in a long time. So
1641
01:17:40.149 --> 01:17:40.890
enjoy it, everyone.
1642
01:17:40.970 --> 01:17:44.979
It's one of those days. Where, like, you just cannot
1643
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:48.220
consume enough Brewers content. Like, I watched the play from
1644
01:17:48.340 --> 01:17:52.439
every angle. I watched, you know, the crowd pop from
1645
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:55.060
every angle. You know, you just watch everything you can
1646
01:17:55.100 --> 01:17:56.850
see because it's just, you just want more of it.
1647
01:17:56.859 --> 01:18:00.520
You're just addicted to that feeling of euphoria of the
1648
01:18:00.579 --> 01:18:04.590
Brewers walking off in game two in an improbable way
1649
01:18:04.899 --> 01:18:07.800
to cap off a weekend where the Bucks, or excuse me,
1650
01:18:07.810 --> 01:18:10.409
the Badgers won, the Packers won, and the Brewers won
1651
01:18:10.430 --> 01:18:12.069
games one and two. Euphoric.
1652
01:18:13.109 --> 01:18:17.979
Euphoric. Yeah. I mean, it was almost kind of similar
1653
01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:22.119
to the Kirk Gibson. Because Gibson was facing Dennis Eckersley,
1654
01:18:22.199 --> 01:18:24.739
who was the best closer in the game at that time.
1655
01:18:25.340 --> 01:18:27.630
And he came off the bench limping and hit a
1656
01:18:27.670 --> 01:18:31.770
walk-off home run. And then young Jackson Churio does it
1657
01:18:31.810 --> 01:18:34.449
against Miller yesterday. Fantastic.
1658
01:18:35.210 --> 01:18:36.949
And then more.
1659
01:18:37.470 --> 01:18:38.510
Easy, easy, easy.
1660
01:18:39.609 --> 01:18:42.430
Trying to find. Trying to scroll through to find. The
1661
01:18:42.489 --> 01:18:44.170
radio call for the Padres. I don't know if I
1662
01:18:44.189 --> 01:18:46.279
can do it, though. Especially on air like this. It
1663
01:18:46.319 --> 01:18:48.630
takes a pro, and I am one.
1664
01:18:48.920 --> 01:18:51.079
Yeah, you're partly you-know-what.
1665
01:18:51.319 --> 01:18:54.579
Oh, I'm something. Connor, formerly the 920, kicks in a
1666
01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:57.739
couple more texts here. They played that Bob call of
1667
01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:00.039
Morgan in the stadium just before the game last night.
1668
01:19:00.100 --> 01:19:03.199
Gives me goosebumps listening to Bob's voice echo through that stadium.
1669
01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:04.800
It's a great way to put it.
1670
01:19:04.819 --> 01:19:08.500
Yeah, and Steady Teddy, Higuera, and Gomez. Yep. I wonder
1671
01:19:08.539 --> 01:19:10.199
if they have game five, who's going to throw out
1672
01:19:10.220 --> 01:19:12.840
the first pitch. I don't have no idea. Bring in
1673
01:19:12.859 --> 01:19:14.619
someone lucky. Yeah.
1674
01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:18.380
David Spriggetti and Appleton, just hearing Euchre's voice is a thrill. Yep,
1675
01:19:18.579 --> 01:19:21.100
absolutely right, especially in that game, one of the most
1676
01:19:21.159 --> 01:19:22.699
memorable moments in Brewers history.
1677
01:19:24.090 --> 01:19:26.369
Well, hopefully there's more magical moments coming that we get
1678
01:19:26.390 --> 01:19:29.350
to play and do score polls on and have fun with.
1679
01:19:29.510 --> 01:19:31.909
Yeah, because it's a scary thing. It's a scary thought,
1680
01:19:32.489 --> 01:19:36.770
but it is a thought you have to have here that,
1681
01:19:37.960 --> 01:19:40.550
You lose the next three, this game two, doesn't mean
1682
01:19:40.590 --> 01:19:40.890
as much.
1683
01:19:41.510 --> 01:19:41.909
You're right.
1684
01:19:42.729 --> 01:19:45.710
Which is why we were talking off air, Leo, and
1685
01:19:45.869 --> 01:19:48.710
I'm saying you have to go for the throat here.
1686
01:19:48.729 --> 01:19:49.850
Absolutely.
1687
01:19:49.890 --> 01:19:51.489
You have to nip this in the bud. Don't let
1688
01:19:51.529 --> 01:19:53.720
this go like the Cubs last year where all the
1689
01:19:53.729 --> 01:19:55.800
Padres win the next two games and they get some
1690
01:19:55.819 --> 01:19:58.039
momentum back and now anything can happen in game five
1691
01:19:58.060 --> 01:20:00.359
and you have a tight game. No, forget about that.
1692
01:20:00.579 --> 01:20:02.020
How about a 20-0 win? Win out there in San Diego.
1693
01:20:02.079 --> 01:20:02.479
Party in their.
1694
01:20:07.399 --> 01:20:10.979
Locker room and come home. Have a couple days off
1695
01:20:11.020 --> 01:20:14.489
before you start the NLCS on Sunday. Don't let them
1696
01:20:14.550 --> 01:20:16.470
come back into this. Don't let them get some life.
1697
01:20:17.090 --> 01:20:20.229
Nip it in the bud right here. Chop them off
1698
01:20:20.270 --> 01:20:23.750
at the knees and win game three. You lose game three.
1699
01:20:24.829 --> 01:20:27.140
Now the Padres are confident again because they're still at
1700
01:20:27.180 --> 01:20:29.560
home for game four. They can win game four at
1701
01:20:29.579 --> 01:20:32.689
home because San Diego's a A tough place to play
1702
01:20:32.729 --> 01:20:35.289
in October. I've said it a million times since October began,
1703
01:20:35.449 --> 01:20:38.369
since postseason began. Nip it in the bud right here.
1704
01:20:38.930 --> 01:20:42.060
Move on to the NLCS again for a second consecutive year.
1705
01:20:42.180 --> 01:20:42.899
That's what I say.
1706
01:20:42.979 --> 01:20:47.699
Is that true? The Padres haven't announced a starter for
1707
01:20:47.739 --> 01:20:49.439
Game 3 yet? Let me check.
1708
01:20:49.779 --> 01:20:55.000
Let me check my source. According to ESPN, Chase Anderson
1709
01:20:55.060 --> 01:20:56.640
is starting Game 3. No, I'm just kidding.
1710
01:20:56.659 --> 01:20:57.340
Former Brewers?
1711
01:20:57.479 --> 01:20:59.239
No, it's a joke. Nick Pavetta is starting.
1712
01:20:59.579 --> 01:21:03.829
Oh, Pavetta. Oh, the NBA ref, Nick Pavetta. That's right, yes. Yeah,
1713
01:21:03.869 --> 01:21:06.569
we were talking about him. Didn't he shut down the
1714
01:21:06.609 --> 01:21:08.890
Cubs in game two?
1715
01:21:09.369 --> 01:21:09.890
Yes, he did.
1716
01:21:10.029 --> 01:21:10.270
Okay.
1717
01:21:10.750 --> 01:21:11.229
I think he did.
1718
01:21:11.449 --> 01:21:14.210
Yeah, it'd be nice to get this offense up and running,
1719
01:21:14.449 --> 01:21:18.090
get a little cushion, and not hanging on for dear
1720
01:21:18.130 --> 01:21:22.760
life until the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning. Exactly. A
1721
01:21:22.770 --> 01:21:23.609
win's a win, right?
1722
01:21:23.939 --> 01:21:24.220
That's right.
1723
01:21:24.229 --> 01:21:26.239
You're going to take a win any day of the week.
1724
01:21:26.979 --> 01:21:30.439
My nephew, Ben Kuyper, said that about the Packers yesterday. Hey,
1725
01:21:30.460 --> 01:21:35.600
it was an ugly win, but better than a pretty loss. Yeah,
1726
01:21:35.619 --> 01:21:36.060
you're right.
1727
01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:36.779
It's true.
1728
01:21:36.819 --> 01:21:38.420
Just don't get used to seeing too many more the
1729
01:21:38.460 --> 01:21:39.079
rest of the year.
1730
01:21:39.100 --> 01:21:42.220
Well, we're going to take a break.
1731
01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:45.510
Oh, Uncle Leo Kuyper, you're so negative when it comes
1732
01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:47.630
to the Packers. Well, I am with the Brewers, too,
1733
01:21:47.649 --> 01:21:48.250
from time to time.
1734
01:21:48.289 --> 01:21:49.930
Yeah, well, you grew up watching the 70s and 80s.
1735
01:21:49.949 --> 01:21:53.250
All right, when we come back, stiff of the day
1736
01:21:53.770 --> 01:21:54.970
to start off your Monday, and we'll.
1737
01:21:54.890 --> 01:21:56.029
Wrap it up. We don't know who to pick because
1738
01:21:56.050 --> 01:21:57.329
there's so many. There's so many.
1739
01:21:58.520 --> 01:22:00.680
The show with Tony G and Leo continues after this.
1740
01:22:09.350 --> 01:22:11.489
Gusman of Kukana hopes your week is off to a
1741
01:22:11.529 --> 01:22:14.909
great start and cordially invites you to its dealership when
1742
01:22:14.930 --> 01:22:20.920
you're browsing for... All right, let me start over. Gusman
1743
01:22:20.939 --> 01:22:22.640
of Kaukauna hopes your week is off to a great
1744
01:22:22.659 --> 01:22:25.420
start and cordially invites you to its dealership when you're
1745
01:22:25.500 --> 01:22:30.399
shopping for your next vehicle. Go to gusmanofkaukauna.com to browse
1746
01:22:30.470 --> 01:22:33.869
both new and pre-owned inventory. Stop by, take a test drive,
1747
01:22:34.470 --> 01:22:37.010
and before you know it, you'll have a brand new vehicle.
1748
01:22:37.069 --> 01:22:41.449
That's Gusman of Kaukauna, Interstate 41 at the Highway 55 exit,
1749
01:22:41.750 --> 01:22:44.829
and it's only 24 hours before Gusman.
1750
01:22:45.350 --> 01:22:47.760
What was the problem? I broke my back.
1751
01:22:48.020 --> 01:22:48.739
What do you mean by that?
1752
01:22:48.779 --> 01:22:50.760
Your back is broken. What part?
1753
01:22:51.039 --> 01:22:52.640
A vertebrae or what portion?
1754
01:22:53.140 --> 01:22:53.739
Spinal.
1755
01:22:55.699 --> 01:22:57.329
You're right over there laughing through Gusman.
1756
01:22:57.369 --> 01:23:00.729
Yeah, well, you made me giggle about something. I did. Yeah.
1757
01:23:01.029 --> 01:23:02.609
What did I do? I don't know. You said something
1758
01:23:02.630 --> 01:23:03.770
before it was Gusman.
1759
01:23:03.829 --> 01:23:04.909
Hey, nice blue quarters.
1760
01:23:04.930 --> 01:23:05.829
I'm sorry?
1761
01:23:06.010 --> 01:23:06.810
Nice blue quarters.
1762
01:23:06.829 --> 01:23:07.489
Oh, Zorder Kip?
1763
01:23:07.609 --> 01:23:07.989
That's right.
1764
01:23:08.050 --> 01:23:11.909
Yeah, well, I got to keep up with the Giordano's.
1765
01:23:12.069 --> 01:23:13.960
That's right. Nick was wearing one, too.
1766
01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:14.340
I know.
1767
01:23:14.359 --> 01:23:16.220
It was going to be a little chilly in here today. Yeah.
1768
01:23:16.300 --> 01:23:16.500
Yeah.
1769
01:23:17.449 --> 01:23:18.619
Oh, well, man. Yeah.
1770
01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:19.460
Oh, well.
1771
01:23:20.340 --> 01:23:22.779
Well, it's about time for Stiff of the Day, the
1772
01:23:22.819 --> 01:23:23.979
first one of the week.
1773
01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:25.760
Will it be Tony again?
1774
01:23:26.199 --> 01:23:26.560
Could be.
1775
01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:29.479
I'm in the running. If there's inept play in fantasy football.
1776
01:23:29.500 --> 01:23:31.609
That's what it is. That's what it is.
1777
01:23:31.630 --> 01:23:32.600
Who did I tell you to pick up?
1778
01:23:32.770 --> 01:23:33.649
Jacoby Brissett.
1779
01:23:33.750 --> 01:23:36.609
Yeah. And when he had 13 or 14, it wouldn't
1780
01:23:36.630 --> 01:23:37.010
have mattered.
1781
01:23:37.029 --> 01:23:41.310
No, not really. Marcus Mariota getting injured didn't help. And
1782
01:23:41.329 --> 01:23:42.869
I think it was Jamar Chase also.
1783
01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:45.159
Had an injury. We'll leave you alone. It could be...
1784
01:23:45.930 --> 01:23:48.029
Christine in the sales department.
1785
01:23:48.050 --> 01:23:48.529
That's true.
1786
01:23:48.979 --> 01:23:50.159
But we'll leave her alone, too.
1787
01:23:50.180 --> 01:23:52.119
Yeah, we don't leave many people alone.
1788
01:23:52.140 --> 01:23:53.720
She gets upset when she thinks I pick on her,
1789
01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:55.079
that I'm being so mean.
1790
01:23:55.100 --> 01:23:57.260
Well, it's just your style.
1791
01:23:58.300 --> 01:24:01.399
Hey, you're in love with a baseball player. It's just silly.
1792
01:24:02.689 --> 01:24:06.189
He's never going to talk to you. You're wasting your love. Wow!
1793
01:24:08.050 --> 01:24:13.250
Is that really being mean? Just laying into her. I
1794
01:24:13.289 --> 01:24:17.810
just could never see doing... I grew up liking Robin
1795
01:24:17.840 --> 01:24:18.819
Yount and Paul Molitor.
1796
01:24:19.239 --> 01:24:21.460
Yeah. You weren't in love with them.
1797
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:23.960
I wasn't in love with them. They weren't my type.
1798
01:24:24.180 --> 01:24:27.260
My goodness. They weren't my type.
1799
01:24:27.659 --> 01:24:33.520
I put on the old Molly and the Brewers old
1800
01:24:33.579 --> 01:24:36.090
hat throwback. That's what got the victory yesterday.
1801
01:24:36.189 --> 01:24:36.510
That is.
1802
01:24:36.829 --> 01:24:38.210
I didn't have that on when I was grilling. I
1803
01:24:38.229 --> 01:24:38.909
put it on late.
1804
01:24:39.170 --> 01:24:39.430
Nice.
1805
01:24:39.909 --> 01:24:42.310
I did my part for.
1806
01:24:41.409 --> 01:24:42.310
The team to win.
1807
01:24:42.329 --> 01:24:43.229
That's true.
1808
01:24:43.289 --> 01:24:43.770
That's true.
1809
01:24:44.100 --> 01:24:46.140
But anyway, we have to get to the stiff of
1810
01:24:46.159 --> 01:24:46.439
the day.
1811
01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:47.819
Yeah, let's go ahead and do that.
1812
01:24:48.939 --> 01:24:52.930
There a thorn in your side. A pebble in your shoe.
1813
01:24:53.050 --> 01:24:56.989
You've had this pair of extra gloves this whole time?
1814
01:24:57.390 --> 01:24:59.170
Yeah, we're in the Rockies.
1815
01:24:59.590 --> 01:25:01.069
A grinder of your gears.
1816
01:25:01.550 --> 01:25:04.020
You know what really grinds my gears? People in the
1817
01:25:04.060 --> 01:25:07.760
19th century. Why don't they get with the freaking program?
1818
01:25:08.279 --> 01:25:11.079
Who's driving Tony G and Leo crazy today?
1819
01:25:11.829 --> 01:25:12.670
You're going to do it.
1820
01:25:13.069 --> 01:25:13.350
No.
1821
01:25:13.770 --> 01:25:16.750
All right.
1822
01:25:17.369 --> 01:25:21.569
Strap in, score squad. It's time for Stiff of the Day.
1823
01:25:21.720 --> 01:25:24.739
As usual on Monday, a lot of contestants for this one.
1824
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:29.659
Yeah, it didn't start that way. You texted me about 1045.
1825
01:25:29.659 --> 01:25:33.220
Who's the stiff today? And I don't know. It jumped
1826
01:25:33.260 --> 01:25:37.279
out at me how bad the Los Angeles Chargers are.
1827
01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:40.840
Remember all the preseason hype? Oh, they suck. Oh, they
1828
01:25:40.859 --> 01:25:44.739
got McDaniel. This offense, him and Harbaugh, oh, God, they're
1829
01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:47.810
going to be just great all season long. And lo
1830
01:25:47.949 --> 01:25:50.510
and behold, they're 0-4 right now. Justin Herbert sucks. And
1831
01:25:50.529 --> 01:25:54.689
their offense has regressed. Yeah, badly. Hampton is a stiff.
1832
01:25:55.250 --> 01:25:57.130
Everyone on the Chargers is a stiff right now.
1833
01:25:57.170 --> 01:25:57.770
That's right.
1834
01:25:58.670 --> 01:26:02.090
But there's other great candidates. We had Larry checking in
1835
01:26:02.609 --> 01:26:06.100
when we had Matt Carroll on about the umpiring in
1836
01:26:06.140 --> 01:26:09.739
the In the Brewers series. I mean, that was terrible.
1837
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:10.420
Pretty bad, yeah.
1838
01:26:10.460 --> 01:26:16.140
Yeah. But I think the NFL officials did themselves yesterday.
1839
01:26:16.420 --> 01:26:21.060
It wasn't just, you know, the Green Bay-Tampa game where
1840
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:24.600
there were some really strange calls, including the Christian Watson
1841
01:26:25.260 --> 01:26:28.310
offensive pass interference. I mean, it was ridiculous. There was
1842
01:26:28.350 --> 01:26:32.149
worse calls. all through the day. They never called on
1843
01:26:32.170 --> 01:26:35.710
offensive guys. And that was barely a graze. I mean,
1844
01:26:36.010 --> 01:26:38.069
he just kind of hit his arm on them. It
1845
01:26:38.090 --> 01:26:40.149
didn't affect the play in any way, shape, or form.
1846
01:26:41.609 --> 01:26:45.630
And you talked about this issue with Trey McBride yesterday.
1847
01:26:45.970 --> 01:26:48.569
What's in the head of these NFL officials?
1848
01:26:48.609 --> 01:26:51.449
There was a sideline official. Trey McBride didn't like a
1849
01:26:51.470 --> 01:26:53.729
call that the official made, so he was asking him
1850
01:26:53.770 --> 01:26:55.979
about it. On the sideline, not up in his face,
1851
01:26:55.989 --> 01:26:58.619
but kind of, a couple of yards away. And the official,
1852
01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:01.489
there was a camera angle. The NFL is now investigating
1853
01:27:02.310 --> 01:27:06.750
the official as he was pretty much saying, you back.
1854
01:27:06.869 --> 01:27:08.989
I mean, he was, he was, you could read his
1855
01:27:09.050 --> 01:27:12.090
mouth and expletives were coming out towards a player. And
1856
01:27:12.109 --> 01:27:17.149
then you have Adrian Hill, who was the head official, uh,
1857
01:27:17.270 --> 01:27:21.859
of the crew in the, in the dolphins Vikings game yesterday. He, um,
1858
01:27:23.460 --> 01:27:26.149
Had an interaction with Eric Wilson, who Wilson was in
1859
01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:29.750
the backfield getting after Malik Willis, exactly. And he kind
1860
01:27:29.789 --> 01:27:32.829
of bumped into Adrian Hill and knocked him over. And
1861
01:27:32.930 --> 01:27:36.689
Adrian Hill got up furious, all up in Eric Wilson's grill.
1862
01:27:36.729 --> 01:27:40.609
And it's like, who do these officials think they are? So, yeah,
1863
01:27:40.649 --> 01:27:41.390
NFL officiating.
1864
01:27:41.720 --> 01:27:42.170
They get it.
1865
01:27:42.569 --> 01:27:43.560
For their performance on Sunday.
1866
01:27:43.579 --> 01:27:44.119
They're stiffs.
1867
01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:45.000
That's right.
1868
01:27:45.380 --> 01:27:47.739
And they'll be back. I'm sure they will be. More
1869
01:27:47.779 --> 01:27:53.510
text coming in. McBride incident for Hop, Jerry Brown-Dray just
1870
01:27:53.550 --> 01:27:58.229
said a link, and Young Vern, the New England Patriots coach,
1871
01:27:59.130 --> 01:28:04.569
Dan Grable. It's true. Got a penalty for yelling at
1872
01:28:04.609 --> 01:28:05.890
one of the refs on a crappy call.
1873
01:28:07.130 --> 01:28:09.840
Can't have that either. Yeah, we'll talk about this from
1874
01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:13.039
Jerry Brown-Dray maybe tomorrow. The link he sent is a
1875
01:28:13.079 --> 01:28:16.829
report that someone did on the fact that Something about
1876
01:28:16.850 --> 01:28:19.130
the electricity at Lambeau Field is why the Packers have
1877
01:28:19.149 --> 01:28:21.649
so many injuries. Kind of like the 49ers and the substation.
1878
01:28:21.890 --> 01:28:22.270
Okay.
1879
01:28:22.300 --> 01:28:23.199
You'll have to dive into it.
1880
01:28:23.479 --> 01:28:24.199
All right.
1881
01:28:24.220 --> 01:28:25.659
Maybe a tinfoil hat type thing.
1882
01:28:25.720 --> 01:28:26.420
I don't know. We'll see.
1883
01:28:26.500 --> 01:28:27.319
We'll dive into that, though.
1884
01:28:27.399 --> 01:28:29.420
You're going to take yours off and let me borrow it? Yeah,
1885
01:28:29.539 --> 01:28:29.880
I will.
1886
01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:33.729
That's Leo Capra, Jr. I'm Tony G. Another edition of
