I'm Bart Winkler, the 27th of May. We're talking some brewers on today's episode, and we're breaking down the games. We're going to break them down. Give you the X's and O's. Give you the what happened, why it happened, who it happened to.
We'll talk more Brewers than just the tarps off or fan decorum that I have specialized in over the years. The Brewers sweeping the Cardinals. At home, they just put this on the TV. And I was stunned. I guess I suppose.
First home sweep against the Cardinals since June 10th through the 12th of 2011. Is that tr I mean they put it on the T V. Dom Catronio is the fact man. I trust him. They put that on the dead.
That's 15 years. 15 years. Since sweeping the Cardinals in Milwaukee? That's insane. And And They did it.
by the skin of their teeth today. because they were getting no hit. For most of this game. I'll put the link up. We are live on YouTube on a Wednesday afternoon.
Got plenty to discuss, but always welcome to have you here. Jake already chiming in says I'm in full support of everything that is tarps off. Other than the actual phrase tarps off, we can do better. I've thought about that. I agree.
But that's what it is. Robert says, I have my tarp off right now. Should we go Bart Kreischer today? Should we do a little Bark Kreischer? HAHAHAHAHA!
Bart Kreischer! Yeah, we're going to go. Let's go tarps off today. I'm okay with this. I'm not showing any nip.
Um That's fine. I don't have big arms. I got a little bit of a neckline tan here. Uh I can go. I'll go I might I'm gonna scoot up a little bit on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream.
I got my freckly shoulders. Yeah. All right. This is more.
Okay. We'll probably put the shirt on pretty soon. I'm just going to see if this generates a. Pop online. No nip, good to go.
No nip, no nip, no nip, slip. Yeah, Ethan, we're good. I just got a simple brewers here from Chad. All caps. That's how you know he's pumped.
I can't believe how many wins Ashby has now. Amazing. This Aaron Ashby thing is incredible. He's got his ninth win of the season. Chad Patrick started the game, did his four innings, pitched well.
They brought in drone. Ashby pitched well. McGill gets the save, big save for him. I'm actually going to put my shirt on. I'm very uncomfortable.
I'm very just like, I'm just very uncomfortable. Yeah. If I had a sexier body or was of a different gender. I would totally be, like, I would be.
Well, maybe I could. Try to OnlyFans? That's where I'm at in my career. Should I do OnlyFans? I have thought about OnlyFans.
All right. I don't want to. penalize any YouTube guidances. Or anything. Ashby for starting all-star game pitcher.
Yeah, sure, sure. He's got nine wins. He's 9-0. Pat says, please put the shirt back on. Fat.
20 things I could say right here, and I'm going to say none of them, but I'm sure you can think of at least. 10 of them right now. All right, Brewers, Brewers, Brewers, Brewers, Brewers, Brewers, Brewers. They got the sweep of the Cardinals. Things are feeling pretty good in Brewerland right now.
32 Uh in 20 now? 33 and 20. is the record. They swept the Cubs. They did lose two to the Dodgers, all right, but then they came back and swept the Cardinals.
They won the series against the Twins. They won the series against the Padres. They swept the Yankees. They split against the Cardinals. They won the series against the Nationals.
It's been a very good May for the Milwaukee Brewers. And as this has been happening, they have taken the top perch. Indian L Central, this should put them.
Well, this should put them four and a half up right now or four up in the NL Central. Four and a half up about the Cardinals and the Reds. And then the Cubs we've been watching. And I don't want to do a Brewers show and then make it about the Cubs, but it's hard not to notice that the Cubs have lost 10 in a row. And they may be challenging what I've got to my uh my Right over here.
is team streak. Where this was the team that won 13 games in a row and then lost a bunch in a row, won a bunch in a row, 1987 team. Cubs have the two double-digit win streaks and now a 10-game. Losing streak. Um, and I don't, I again, I can't be hypocritical.
I do check how the Cubs did every day. I check how all the Annlino Central teams do every day. But I can't sit here and just do a Brewer show and talk about the Cubs because that is what they do to us. And I can't be hypocritical.
So I won't be doing that. even though I just did. This series was fun. This series was exciting because, as other teams. are And you played one of your divisional foes in the Cardinals.
But as these other teams are kind of figuring out what they're doing, and is your main rival, we can say, is falling apart, you're capitalizing on that. And I'm not someone who prescribes to, oh, it's just one game in May. Or it's just a little stretch in April. Or it's just, you know, whatever. I am not a, it's just one game person.
I like in baseball that if you lose one game, you get the chance pretty quickly to. Get that out of your system. But when we come down to the end of the year, when we're talking, oh, we're two and a half games back, or oh, we're one and a half games up. These are the games that put you there. This is a marathon.
It's not a sprint. but you can't just like. Leg the marathon and then expect to be toward. You got to be good during the duration of the marathon.
So, whenever you can capitalize on other teams not playing well, and when you can put good. Strings together, especially series wins outside of the Dodgers one. You can only be happy at that. If the goal is to win every series, the Brewers are well on their way to having a really good May, and we'll see what the summer turns into. Regarding today's game, this is the 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
This is one of those games I do feel. I don't feel bad for the Cardinals, but I do relate to being in the situation that they were in today. Where It's like a day game. You're like, okay, I'll kind of follow as much as I can. I'm busy.
Then you start to see there's a no-hitter happening when you check, but it's like the fourth inning, and you're like, oh, okay. Then it's like the sixth inning, then you start to get texts from your buddies. Then it's like the eighth inning and you're like. I got to get myself in front of a TV to see if this no-hitter is going to happen.
So you're in no hitter mode. And then you turn on the TV, and not only does the no-hitter disappear. But then you bungle a play up the middle, let the Brewers get a run they probably shouldn't have. And then you can't close it out. You went from no hitter.
To you just lost this game. Like a 15-minute stretch. We've been there. Again, I do not sympathize with the Cardinals fans. I sympathize with myself and us.
For having been in that spot before. And we'll be in that spot again.
Now, had they thrown a no-hitter today, that would have sucked. The vibes are pretty good around the Brewers right now. I don't think I would have been crushed by it, it would have sucked. But there's been other days there's been other days where like If we were going to get no hit, I would just crumble, just fall apart at the seams. A Cub, you know, I am a Cubs.
There's some days where no hitter hurts more than others. This one. Could have been bad because of the shenanigans or whatever that happened last night. Which we'll get into there. But a good 2-1 victory for the Brewers today.
Again, I think everybody did their job on the mound. They converted when they had to. Yalich has been. Pretty well at the plate, pretty good at the plate lately.
So, just three hits today, but they came in a timely fashion. And then. They got on base when they needed to, and they punched the run home.
So, not much more you can say than that. Except that was a really that was a that was a that was a good that was a good day. It was a good day. You into the game, you're bummed, they're not scoring. They give you some moments at the end to uh to celebrate.
Now, we thought there could be a situation where. There might be some retaliation. Because of what happened yesterday. With Abner Uribe, who they're up six-nothing, and he's doing the DX crotch chop.
So, why did that happen?
Well, his explanation to that via the translator was. He thought. That every time Yellich or Contreras was at the plate. That the Cardinals manager was making signs in the dugout. He thought, Abner Uribe thought, whether rightfully or not, Cardinals are denying it, and they all went through different back channels.
I was trying to talk about this. Met down in the tunnels of Miller Park. I don't know. But he thought they were trying to hit. His guys.
And so he wanted to stand up for them. And then he had a moment where he celebrated. Um that he got the Cardinals out in that moment. The DX crotch chop. You know, degeneration X.
In and of itself. I personally Cannot scold him for that. For within the last Calendar year. I had a Altercation, let's say, at an intersection. Where I I was in the wrong.
I had the I was at a stoplight and I had the Don't walk signal. And he had a green arrow. I didn't realize that. I saw the light turn green. I was in the wrong, admittedly.
So when this guy turned. I didn't know what was happening and my instinct For whatever reason, even though I've never done it before. Like ever. I DX crotch chopped a guy in the middle of an intersection in front of a school. The guy looked at me.
Like he had just seen a dodo bird come back to life, and the dodo bird started talking to him and was like, What's up? Where have you been? Weird example, but my kids did like some bird thing today, and I've got Dodo Bird on the brain. I had to go to the class. Uh it was cute.
But the guy looked at me like In the year of 2026. This might have been 2025. Last 12 months, but is somebody really doing a DX crotch chop at me? And the answer was yes. Big thanks to our sponsor, BetterHelp, for partnering with us for this important conversation about mental health.

So, having a counselor and working with BetterHelp, that gives you an opportunity to really start to unpack. But people don't understand when you unpack things, you also open up a box, but you're not always sure what's inside.
So, I think that's why seeing a professional is extremely important. If you need someone to open up to, visit better help that's betterhelp.com/slash 89 to get started.

So when Aribe did that. I like You see pitchers celebrate. We've seen the Miz be pumped. We saw May, he came off the bases after a great defensive play, and he was pumped. And There is a difference.
I'm trying to think of this as coach's brain because sometimes, you know, when I'm coaching soccer, my kids will like chirp back and forth at each other in practice, and I got to be like, we don't do that. And even if they were to do it to the other team. You know, that's not what we're trying to teach. I do have exceptions. Or I get a little looser.
on what kind of celebrations I think are allowed. When you get to the professional level.
Now, it's a six-nothing game in May. Is that the same as a Game 7 World Series? It's absolutely not. It's absolutely Not. But If Abner Uribe felt like they were coming after him and he was in a high-pressured situation.
And that's the way that his brain celebrated it right away. I think one thing we fail to remember. When we scold these athletes, for how they're celebrating. is we fail to remember What situation they are in. And what situation we have put them in.
Okay. We this is not This is not high school baseball. This is not little league baseball. This is not coach pitch rec baseball. This is the major leagues.
Where these guys have worked their entire lives to get here. And then, when they get there, they're under constant pressure every single day. From their managers, from the fan base, and then you put them in a gladiator-style type ring. And you're demanding. You're demanding high performance from them.
Their adrenaline is off the charts in these moments. And if Abner Uribe's instinct is to do a DX crotch chop, In the moment, whatever. Like whatever. I think it happens. You say, wow, that was crazy.
and you move on. I personally Feel like the discussion around it for the next 12 hours. Is worse. Just the same with booing. Anytime a fan base gets scolded for booing, they booed.
It was short. It was harmless.
Now we're going to spend the next 48 hours breaking down how wrong they were. Jaboo? I don't like that either. I don't like that. I don't like that part of it.
I think a lot of times. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. Because we're taking a very small moment. and turning it into something much bigger. And it's not a small moment like.
You know, you could say, well, you could punch somebody in the face and you murdered them. That's a small moment.
Well, that's different. You understand that. This is a DX crotch chop. Whatever. I just I don't see I see why like Pat Murphy has to be like, okay, don't do this and what.
I just, I think we can move on and let bygones be bygones. I thought that, at least.
Somebody who disagreed with me. Oh, there's a good one. It's not like it was one of PCA's outbursts. Yeah, PCA's call it's telling people to do the DX crotch chop to 'em. the other way.
And Everyone's like, Oh, she's at fault.
Okay. Um Somebody who did not like it. was Jonathan LaCroix. He was called a Milwaukee legend. I saw online.
I don't, I wouldn't, I'd say he's a Milwaukee legend in the same way that I'm a Milwaukee legend, where we had a few good years. And now we're just trying to stay relevant on Twitter. Here's what Jonathan Lucroy had to say. This is what happens when you don't have veteran leadership in the clubhouse.
Some people think it's funny. I think it's hoarse. Asteric, asterisk, asterisk, t, which actually is not how you do that. You would put asterisk, you'd put s h and then asterisk asterisk. If he was my teammate, he and I would have a major issue.
Kids come to these games and emulate us. That is a responsibility we must uphold to the highest standard. This isn't the WWE.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Lucroy is quote tweeting someone who says, holy fuck. I'm in tears.
So If my kid follows Jonathan Lucroy. All of a sudden now he's seen the word fuck. And Jonathan Lucroy as retweets our endorsements. is retweeting the word. Fuck.
If he was your teammate, you would have a problem with that. See? I don't know what Luke Croix up to. I think I kind of do. He's trying to you know find a little niche here This ain't it.
I don't I don't think this is it. I former guys like You can, you can, as a former player, you can like have thoughts about your former place. But if you're not in that locker room. You can't talk about like what they in how they interact with each other. You can talk about the decisions and You know, but I don't think you can, they'll handle it.
I don't think this is Lucroy trying to. I don't think this is LuCroy trying to give his opinion as much as it is trying to scold somebody else.
So I I think this was kind of bullshit from Luke Roy. actually And also kids emulate. Before we start to worry about kids. emulating what they see at a major league ballpark. Let's worry about the shit that happens at Little League fields across this country, okay?
Let's worry about some of the shit these dads and coaches are pulling. Let's worry about some of the shit these parents are pulling. There's a lot worse things being done and said at Little League games around the country. than Abner Uribe doing a DX crotch chop. This is into the Winklerverse.
We're brought to you by Happy Place M promo code BART. 25% off each and every order. At happyplacehemp.com at checkout. I'll take Jake at his. I think um the term or the the phrase of the day is selective outrage.
So my guess is, knowing what I know about Lu Croix, there's probably a lot of things that happen in the world every day that he doesn't have a peep. You know, to say Um he just kind of lets it go.
So yeah, grain of salt or whatever you want to say. Um yeah, that that sweep was huge. Um especially, you know, it just it looked like a a getaway day where You know, if you're good at Just kind of chalk it up to, well, we got two out of three, you know, day game, you know, looking on, or, you know, sort of basically snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat is always a good thing. But what I really wanted to talk to you about, Bart, was I think I can help you with your sweat problems a little bit. Oh shit.
So First things first. What what kind of deodorant are you using? With deodorant? Yeah. So typically How am I doing today?
Bad. Typically Um I'll find a new stick. And I'll it'll work for like two months and then I'll need to find a new stick.
So the ones I've been using are: I had an old spice. I had a Toms of Maine. No. Um I might need to go back to Mitchum. Mm.
I don't know. You got something for me? Yeah, this uh Right there.
So the degree. Free plug. The basic 48 hour, don't go to extra strength, that's a scam. Um I've used that one before, I think, to good results. Yeah, well I I worked with a guy back in the day who like I worked at American TV and I was a salesperson.
And all the people on the sales staff would just dog this guy for a sweat problem because he'd literally have to like. go in and wipe his pits or he was gonna start dripping through his shirt.
So I was like, dude, just use this. And he actually pulled me aside and he shook my hand. He was like, 'You've literally changed my life.' I was like, 'Okay, man, but that seems to work.' But the other thing is. Um every day after I work out, I get a 20 minute sauna. And I do the Cassanza where the shower doesn't take.
But so, what you have to do is number one, it doesn't have to be a cold shower, but a cooler shower, and then at the end, 30 seconds of like this sucks cold level water, then 30 seconds of I can't take this, and then see if you can build up your tolerance to another 30 seconds of like, get me the hell out of here, kind of thing.
So, that helps. And then you want to get the deodorant that's for like your balls and your pits. Um The actual cream.
So you put that on like, you know, the fun areas. And then the last thing I would say is If you don't, I don't have access to any of this. I don't have a slide. What's that? I didn't hear you.
I don't have access to any of this. Just go online, get a promo code, but then moisturize your skin. Like literally just cheap lotion. If you have dry skin, your sweat glands will start to overproduce.
So after your shower, just moisturize your skin. And that is my tech talk for the day. This was a very big problem in my life, which I thought I conquered, and now it's coming back. At a very intense pace. That's right.
Thank you for taking the time to tell me that. Yeah, it's the important stuff that we cover here. Is this a degree-sponsored appearance for Jake? No, but Carlos gave me a deodorant that I was going to try to. Do a Well, the other thing I wanted to shout out quick before I head off is Paul shouted me out for being a Squad Six original member, which is true.
And I can tell you that as a Squad Six original member, I will get tickets to a Bucks game and be like, fuck, I'm one section away from these assholes. Like, I hate it.
So you're not the only one.
So that's all I got. I love you, brother. Good to see you. Hot take, Jake. Joining us here.
And the link is up if anybody wants to. Chime in. Um this comment I will put on screen about commercials before the show. I will turn that off. I don't want that either.
So, thank you. For sharing that.
So, okay, Abner Uribe. Whatever. I don't think he's making shit up out of, you know, thin air. Either. But everyone tried to downplay that this was something that was happening and They got over it.
There was no infraction today, and then the Cardinals thought they were going to get a win. The snatching the victory from the jaws of defeat. I will say again, like. It is a long season. And I don't think you can let yourself get too high or too low.
after wins and losses.
So I don't think the brewer should go in there and pop the bottles today. But I think what the Brewers can do is they can take the fact that Hey, we had a weird series. We gave the Cardinals something to fight about. They were keeping us down and then we found a way to come back. The more times that you can do that.
the more you will continue to do that. You tend to draw on your experiences. You tend to, hey, I've been in this situation before. Maybe it doesn't mean you're going to win every time. But maybe it means you don't let it spiral.
Maybe, maybe, because of this game. They might lose a game like this in the future where they don't come back, but they're not going to think to themselves, oh man, we really, because they know they can. I just think that in a baseball season, I don't know if it's a momentum thing. You know, people always talk about momentum and if it's real, and I think it is. But I think To look at each and every one of these 162 games.
as one individual game. I don't think you can do that. Maybe in football you can. But in baseball, you're playing every day and it's 162 And it's a long, long summer. It's a long summer.
But the more that you build up these kind of things.
So I'm. Look, the series was great. The fact that they swept them for the first time at home since 2011 is insane. Simply insane. Um And I th I think he should be happy.
I think you should be happy. 33 and 22 is excellent, even with the new Wisco jerseys trying to hold us back. I think my biggest gripe with those right now is how they're trying to make them happen. Like, I'm really upset that Cece Sabathy, if that's going to be your Friday night jersey, okay. Whatever.
But then you put Cece in one. Then you have the guys doing a really good thing on their off day, Habitat for Humanity, but they're wearing the Wisco jerseys. And I couldn't shit on that online because, I mean, I can't shit on everything, but I wish they were just wearing their normal jerseys, man. You can look back at that and be like, what are they wearing? I just, you know, there's, I've seen plenty of people have the Wisco merch.
We don't need to keep. trying to push it. All right. It's stupid. It's dumb.
It's ugly. It's fine. We'll all live. Carl's Place bringing you this episode alongside with Dan Shaney. Uh insurance.
I'm glad they wore Milwaukee and Wrigley. I like those as well. Grego says, The oh, thanks for subscribing to the Donation Club. 399, you get nothing. The Cardinals are a close second for me, of hated rivals.
I'm really glad we won and especially broke up the no-hitter. Again, because you got people, you have people. There's so many Cardinals fans today. That Followed this game, but then really got into it around maybe two o'clock. And they were starting to dream of a no-hitter.
And then and then they lose. And then that's that's just like we've we've been there before. We've been Brewers fans. You're thinking, no hitter, no hitter. Remember when Randy Wolf?
Used to throw a no-hitter every six innings. And then Dave Bush did that for a while. I think Chase Anderson did that for a while. He'd have six inning, no hitters all the time, and then seventh inning, they'd throw him out there. He'd give up a Single.
Wisconsin Sports 24626. Cardinals fans. Greater than Cubs fans. Cardinals fans started tarps off.
So you do have to give them credit where credit is due there. And they are the best fans in baseball, of course.
So you also had to give him credit. for that. This sweep started. with the game on Monday night. We've talked about Wednesday.
We've talked about Tuesday. The game on Monday night. was a 5-1 victory. Ashby, two good innings of work, does not get the win as Jacob Mizarowski goes seven innings. Just two hits, one earned run.
Twelve strikeouts. Every pitch is like faster than the last. Guys out there throwing 103, 104. Like he's he's like flat at 103. He's resting.
It's not like, oh, he hit 103. He's like bottoming out at 103. And I remember last year when Miz and Skeens We were announced to pitch on that Thursday afternoon, and it was a big deal. And Miller Park was like, We packed it. Milwaukee did its job.
They packed it. They got there right away. They packed that stadium. And it was great. And I don't want to let Ms not be special anymore.
And I don't think we're there yet, but like even with Giannis. If you're a Bucks fan, you've seen Giannis a half dozen times minimum. In a game, probably. Assuming you go to games. Maybe you've never gone to one.
I don't want to, you know. You say something that You generalize. But at some point, seeing Giannis is not as special. Like if you're a Dodgers fan, oh, Shaw Hay's pitching today, good. But here in Milwaukee You know, Shohei didn't line up against us.
I probably would have tried harder to get to a game last weekend if Shohei was pitching. I'd want to see him pitch. Hey, I'm going to see him hit. He's still a beast there, but I you want to go see him hit. Um or pitch rather.
But what Ms. might become. Which I don't know. I don't know what we've had here. In terms of this.
Like Cece was good. But people weren't people from other fan bases weren't like, We have to go see CC. And we wonder that. That's a good topic sometimes. Who are you going to?
Who do you need to see? They're in town, you need to see them.
Sometimes it's a different picture. Kershaw reached that at one point. Verlander, like, we gotta go see him. Or, like, if Barry Bonds was in town, oh, we got to go see him. And if you're a Brewers fan, I think you're going to maybe start to look like: okay, I'll go to a game this weekend.
Which one is Miz pitching at? But if you're a fan of another team. And Ms is coming to your town. I think he's going to start to be a draw. And his story is going to be so funny for me forever.
How he made an all-star game after five games, and everybody got mad, and baseball is trying to be like, well, look at this guy's good. He's a. Attraction and he's good. And we want eyes on this product and we want to build young stars. And Mizarevsky getting all that attention, then.
Has only, you know. Improved. The conversation around him now, there's gonna be a lot of attention around him because he's doing things that are insane. He's throwing 103 miles an hour just Casually, and then what it was a sinker, like 98. You can't see the ball.
You can't hit this guy. And there'll be guys that take him deep and there'll be guys that get hits off him. He's not going to be infallible. But he is going to be maybe unlike ever before. A guy on our team.
That opposing fan bases they need to see. when we go to their ballpark. Like all LeBron's in town. We gotta go you know, that kind of thing. And I think that's neat.
I think that I think that's cool. And and I'm I'm you know I've seen Ms. Pitch. I'm not sure if I went to a game where my kid, you said, but I got to take him. Even if he's not, let's go again.
You know, you got to go check it out. I'd much rather see Ms. pitch it. am fam then One of these Savannah banana knockoffs. I'm sighing off camera because I am going to one of those games.
I don't want to talk about it. Moving on. We all belong outside. We're drawn to nature, whether it's the recorded sounds of the ocean we doze off to, or the succulents that adorn our homes. Nature makes all of our lives, well, better.
Despite all this, we often go about our busy lives removed from it. But the outdoors is closer than we realize.

So the Miz is pretty good. There was a note from Adam McKelvey. I like this tweet the other night because if we're going to talk about Miz, we got to talk about the other pitcher this weekend. or this week. McCalvey tweets: 18 summers ago, C.C.
Sabathia electrified Milwaukee with a 1.59 ERA through his first 10 starts. Kyle Harrison hasn't racked up near as many innings. But he's been just as stingy. His 1.57 ERA is best in franchise history through a pitcher's first 10 starts. For the Brewers And As sad as I am.
That my guy Caleb Durbin. He's no longer a Milwaukee Brewer. As sad as I am that I had to see him go elsewhere, and as sad as I am to see him. continued to struggle. What Kyle Harrison is doing.
is pretty remarkable. And if This the the bigger bigger thing with the Brewers. Harrison, the other night, six innings, four hits, two strikeouts. Like McCalvey says, the 1.57 ERA. Six in one record.
Him on the mound, Ms. on the mound. You're expecting. You're expecting a pretty good outing and they're going to give you a chance to win.
So for a long time. The Brewers would have starters, but maybe not a bullpen or vice versa. You get a good combination of them both. That's what's going to carry you. And that's a big reason, you know, the Cubs to bring them up, but to not bring them up, are struggling is because a lot of the injuries.
Another quick aside: a lot of fire craig counsel. If you type fire craig counsel online, you're going to see a lot of people saying it. What's Craig Council do next if he gets fired? Starts a pod with me and Weggs. I don't know.
What's Craig what's Craig Council do next if he gets fired? You went to reset the market. You've been exposed. David Stearns has been exposed. Yeah, if I'm Matt Arnold or if I'm Pat Murphy.
I don't care how much you dangle in front of me. I stay a part of the system. The system's making me good, it Amy. System's making me good. He can't screw it up, but...
You know, the brewers have a pretty good system in place. It's just if you ever want to have fun at the stands. you know then you're going to be criticized. Um, but if on the field. uh things are going things are going pretty Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
There. I did that because I forgot what I was going to say and I was hoping by doing the Larry David. I would remember. I still can't remember what I was going to say.
So I'm going to put this message up from Mr. Positive. Alberto in the house and a Dave. saying, let's go. I was going to talk about Kyle Harrison and the pitching.
And I was going to talk about also. the Cisi Sabathia. And then I was going to talk about, oh, I remember. Thank you. No commercial breaks.
The Brewers are an interesting team. It's interesting to be a fan of them, is it not? Because We have a lot of great memories. We talked about it a couple weeks ago. The Um Best teams to never win a title that gets celebrated.
I think the best Brewers team ever lost a World Series after being up 3-2. In game five. And then we have this behind me. I've got, I've got. I've got um immortalize behind me.
a plaque of a team that didn't even make the playoffs. the nineteen eighty seven team. I'll talk about Cece Sabathia needing to get his number retired. Until they finally do it. I have fond memories of 2011 and 2018 and You know, really this golden era of Brewers baseball.
But at the end of the day, we don't win anything. you know, like the Rays. The Rays haven't won anything. They've been to a World Series. But we win enough That we're annoying everybody else.
I would wager. I don't know what fan base, you know. Based on division rivals and stuff. But a lot of people hate the Dodgers. 'Cause they buy their way into whatever.
But a lot of people hate the Brewers. And the Dodgers You can at least explain their success. Oh yeah, I mean they Got Shohei Otani and then they're they're deferring all the money. He got Freddie Freeman away from the Braves. They made a trade, got mooky bets.
This isn't the Brewers being smart trading for Kyle Harrison. Red Sox may be just stupid. Red Sox are acting like a lower-level Premier League team where they have to sell off their top talent just to stay up. That's what they're doing. I'm not talking about West Ham either.
That fucking sucked. But the Brewers are good enough to be annoying. But then they still don't win anything. Like, yeah, they're going to beat the Cubs, but then they're going to lose to the Dodgers. Yeah, they're going to get into the playoffs.
You know, if I was in the NL Central. Oh, I would hate this team quite a bit. But it's just like, you know, with the Packers, I guess it's kind of like the Packers lately. Yeah, the Packers might win, or even if you hate the Lions, like, oh, the Lions beat us. They went to the NFC Championship game, they didn't do anything else.
The Vikings, they've been to so many Super Bowls, but they don't do anything else. They don't win the whole thing. They're annoying. They might block you. But they don't win anything.
So I've always said that our joy is harmless. This is harmless joy. We're having fun. We're making good trades. We're building summers of entertainment and passion.
And yeah, you might be upset that. Oh, they broke up our no hitter. Oh, they won the division again. But it's not like we're there at the end of October. It's not like we got anything to rub in your face.
And even when we beat you. You can spin it around and say. Lost to the Dodgers, scored five runs, four runs. We're not going to ever win anything. But it's still very fun because they are trying.
And if you can't. If you can't be The best. If you can't be the best. Which the brewers are not. But if you can't be the best, Then it's fun to be.
Not the best, but everyone else hates you because you do bullshit things. Brewer's payroll is what? 85 million bucks? What is it, one twenty? They're a one-of-a-kind franchise the last 20 years.
They really are. They've got so much success. And any other different roll of the dice or bite of the apple, and they've got a World Series. I really hope I see it. I really do.
I've long told myself that I'm never going to see a Brewers World Series, but I didn't think I'd ever see a Bucs title either. But the Brewers have never won one. The Brewers have never won one. And that's why that's like One would be enough. Because it's not just you winning that year.
It's a culmination of everything you've ever put into that team. If the Bucs never win another title. Oh, well, I'll want my son to see one, obviously, if he cares enough. I made him watch the end of the game with me after school and he like didn't seem into it. And then I was like, it's the ninth inning.
And then he got super into it 'cause he knew if they could win that I'd come down here and he could watch YouTube, which I believe he's watching a thirty man Toy Royal Rumble. And then we have to go play some 2K after this. Then we're gonna go ride bikes. Great afternoon. Maybe Tarpsov finally breaks the no-cheering culture we've established.
Oh, no, that won't. Once the brewers started advertising, like, hey, if you want to go to Tarps Off, come down to this section.
Well, let's go ship. That's no fun anymore. Tarp's off should be, hey, look, let's go up there. Look what those guys are doing. It shouldn't be like a fucking ride at Great America.
Get in line. Wait 30 minutes. If two people leave, then two more can come in. It's like And they saw this happening. How did they not prepare for it?
Oh, tarp salt? That's pretty cool. It won't happen here. What happened here? Summertime, and people drink here more than ever.
Of course, men are going to go up there and take their shirt off. Of course that's going to happen. What were they thinking? But Brewers, yeah, harmless. Like if you're a Cardinals fan.
Oh, fuck the but you got how many World Series? But you're still annoyed by us. And that's exciting. That is exciting. And I don't like to be the guy to, you know.
But I do have a great interest in watching the Cubs tonight now that they've lost 10 in a row. I want to see how long this can go.
Now that we've mentioned it. Um They'll probably win. But I also want to see from the Craig Council standpoint. Like, I don't think they're going to fire him, but what if they did? What if they did?
That would be interesting. We would of course break in with live action. Uh we would have to. On that one.
So, a great series for the Brewers. One other baseball note I wanted to mention: Bob Nightingale. had tweeted this. The um The fund that we're having this year, we hope we can continue. to have summers of entertainment and passion.
But that's all going to come down to what this labor proposal looks like And Nightingale's got his hands on the MLB. labor the initial proposal which I'll share here on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream.
Some of the things are as follows. They want significant increases to forty man minimums. including a minimum salary of 1.5 million. They want an expanded pre-arbitration performance program. They want expansion of salary, arbitration, eligibility.
They want expansion of rules aimed at combating service time. They want increased benefits for lower revenue clubs who lose players to free agency. They want a luxury tax. They want a new competitive integrity tax.
So They want a lot more money. And If I'm an owner looking at this, I'm like, fuck. But that's what they should do. They should come in, you know, guns blazing. They got to get us on their side.
Because the owners The owners are going to... The owners are gonna Tell you If you want baseball to come back. It's not us keeping the players away. They're asking for more. And for some reason.
The poorer you are The more you side with rich people 'cause you think you're going to be rich someday. None of us gonna be rich. We should want the hardworking players. to earn the money. Again, it's not this is not This is not a This would be a salary cap.
The owners are going to try to you know This isn't a Profitability cap.
Okay, this isn't a profitability cap. We're not. The owners are mad because they're losing more money. It's not like there's more money. That's going anywhere else.
It's not money going. The players aren't taking money away from schools. They're not taking money away from you. They're not taking money away from the needy. They want more money.
Which in turn would mean the owners have less money. But the owners will spin it as They're blocking you from having baseball.
So I'm I'm team player here. I just want to make sure that they don't. Successfully PR that out of me. But I am team player. Uh one other quick note.
A football note. Probably not what you think it is. But we have some Wisconsin Badgers start times. Yes, we already know that the first game will be against Notre Dame Sunday of Labor Day weekend on the 6th, 6:30 p.m. on NBC.
That Lambell Field. The following game will be against Western Illinois. Exclusively on the Big Ten network. at 6.15 p.m. Then in week three, Eastern Michigan comes to Camp Randall.
And that will be at an odd 11.30 a.m. start time. On Peacock.
So that's the Badgers' first three games. NBC. Big 10 network. And peacock. The college football schedules for the first three weeks are out.
I think that's what I actually like about college football. I'm a TV schedule nerd.
So I don't really care about college football as much as I care about Which game is CBS gonna get? What's going to be the primetime game on ABC? I care about that quite a bit, actually. I really like TV schedules. My dream is to be the prime-time scheduler of a TV network.
which now barely exist. But You know, still a dream. I had one of those dreams today. I took a little nap. I had one of those dreams where I thought I was awake.
But I wasn't. And those are scary because you think you're paralyzed. Going 0 for 3 on three different platforms to start the season. Why does Notre Dame need a neutral field? I don't know, but if that game's at Camp Randall I'm probably apt to watch it on TV, but I really want to get the Lambo for that.
I really do. I won't. But I really do. Good series for the Brewers. Thanks for popping on for a little bit.
Or uh enjoying us. Whenever you got the chance. Please like and subscribe if you can. That's what. Keeps me doing this.
Um otherwise I'd have to Be a burrito taxi, which I do also enjoy doing. But not with gas at $4.20. We'll talk soon. Thanks for stopping into the Winklerverse. I'm honored to make history and to make my community proud.
