This is The Bart Winkler Show. As you know, I am prepared to give you a lot of information today. Brewers made another trade at the big league level, a couple of minor league level deals, but I'm prepared to give you a lot of information. I've got a good 30 minutes of information to give you. If anybody joins, that'd be great. I don't know.

I don't have any plans for anyone to join. We'll always see what happens, but this is information station with the trade deadline as we saw come and go. I think the biggest thing of this trade deadline is the Mets traded Verlander and Scherzer and are now rebuilding a few years out, which will be interesting. We'll see how that goes down, but the Brewers also making a couple of moves and getting the win this evening. Winning 6-4. It was good to see them when they had a big four on fourth inning. We'll start there. Big four on fourth and then good to tack on that Dan Cheney insurance run in the seventh.

Of course, this episode also streaming on the Dan Cheney YouTube stream that we have. When talking about the Brewers trades, Brian wants me to start and say two things you can do on the show to sum up those trades. Record yourself sleeping or record yourself while you're taking a shit.

Not very optimistic and excited about the Brewers trades. I do want to follow up with my efforts to watch the United States women's team first real quick. I did not get back up for them. I laid down around 9.45, 10 o'clock. I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I thought I'll have a drink. A stiff one knocked me out. I'll set my alarm for 1.45.

I ended up sleeping till 4.45. I miss the women. They barely advanced. They fucked over everybody. They advanced.

The women advanced. Barely because Portugal decided to hit the post. Had they won, they would have won their group. They'd play Saturday night. I'd be out at the soccer bars.

It'd be great. Had they won that game, they'd play next Thursday. Those are the two prime time slots left in America.

Now they're playing at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning. Fucking stupid. This is not a green hat. It's a gray hat.

It's a gray pro soccer hat. Are you there or are you just stalking? What's up? I'm here. I'm here.

Why no bag tonight? Where are you? I'm in LA right now. LA? Yeah. Go Dodgers.

Wow. What are you doing out in LA? Work.

Work tripping. Isn't that a little too liberal of a town for you? I live in the gray, Bart.

I live in the gray. Has Milwaukee Pro Soccer picked a name yet? No. We do not have a name. Okay. Paper or plastic? You guys have waited far too long to name the team.

Plastic. The name's going to come out in the fall. Yeah. I guess it's still a few years away from even being a team. It's a lot better this year when I'm talking about the team and people are like, when's the team coming? I'm like 2025 and it's 2023.

I was out last winter at World Cup games. When's the team coming? Three years from now.

It's like, ah, Jesus. That's a long time. But good brewers trade, I thought. I thought the moves were, it's very bites at the apple-ish, but whatever. I think they're good moves overall. We talked about Mark Cannon last night. We talked about Carlos Santana the other day. There were some minor league deals we'll get into. I guess their major league ready acquisition today was Andrew Chafin, who looks like he's born to be a brewer. Actually, it looks like some former brewers.

Doug Jones is an easy comparison, but this guy I think will come in. He's a lefty. They just lost their lefty that they had up in Wilson. It's again, the model that I had yesterday was these are the trades that they deserve. They're not going to trade away guys. They're not going to go like all in, but they've added some pieces that will hopefully help. I don't know, compared to like other years where it's been like, ah, two relievers.

Okay. At least they got a couple of bats this time and I don't know how good the bats are going to be, but there's, there's, there's like better potential that, oh, Mark Cannon can have a game and Carlos Santana can do some things. Like there's just, it's not Juan Soto. It's not Max Scherzer, but it's, I think it's okay. I I'm, I'm all right with this, I think. Yeah. I think you're feeling like probably most brewers fans. They're, they're happy with it. It's nothing to get, you know, jump out of bed and be super excited about, but good moves.

Let's, let's make a little bit of a run here. Bretton Tosa loved him on today's pod. You know, he's the one that's been on it all season, but the biggest issue is Craig council moving forward with the future of this team. And he said it best. We got the best farm system in Brewers history. Why is he leaving?

It's just, it's just strange. Well, you mentioned him. We might as well bring him in. He's also at American family field. What's up Brett?

Oh yeah. Boots on the ground. Just had got out of the debriefing with Matt Arnold and the front office.

And yeah, we're the only team in the central that did anything at the deadline. So you know what? I'm going to bring in Matt in the falls here too.

He's driving. We got it. We got an all star crew. Oh, passenger. All right. Well, I'll get to you in a second. Okay. All right. All right, Brett. So Andrew Chafin, they did not get Josh hater.

He doesn't go anywhere, but you're right. Cubs, Cubs made some moves and they're winning big tonight, but the reds didn't do Jack shit. Yeah. I mean, yeah, the Cubs got a few pieces.

Um, but a week ago they were going to be selling. So I like, like we talked about last night, there's no excuse for the Brewers to not win this division. I mean, we're the best team on paper. You have, you've got the, the, the best rotation. Reds did nothing. Cubs a week ago, we're going to sell.

I mean, it, yeah. The Cubs scare you at all though, Brett. They scare me a little bit to be like, kind of like typical Cardinals, but with the Cubs this year, I think they can make a little bit of a run. They do have a, I mean, they have a good lineup and their rotation is not bad. If they can, they're on their high right now. If they can stick around for another two or three weeks, they scare me.

But I don't know that, that that's going to happen. The reds are the team that I'm worried about as of right now. And that their pitching is not going to hold up in my opinion.

Matt, you got any comments on the trades? I was hoping for a bigger splash. The team is better than I expected by leaps and bounds. And I, I'd like to make a push. I'd like, I don't know who I wanted, but I wanted a bigger bat.

Pitching staff is pretty good to be honest. So, a little let down. Why are you laughing? Cone found a Chipotle bag. Temporary.

It's my travel bag. Yeah. That's why I'm laughing. I would agree with that though. Like I said last night, I wanted Eloy. I wanted a little bit of a splash, but I think everyone that gets upset about the Kanye and Santana trades, you got to remember that we've been striding out like below, like way below average offensive players at like four or five positions. So Santana and Kanye are, are going to be upgrades. Like, yeah, they're not all stars. They're not the lineup. When you look at the lineup, it looks less like pukey. Like it's like Yellich Contreras, Santana, Adamas, even though I have my issues with him, I think he's still underperforming, but then Freelick and Kanye. And so it's all these like monastery has been playing very well. It's a much better looking lineup. And then terrain and Weimer rounding it out. This is like, you got, you got young guys and you got veterans.

And this isn't, you know, the, I don't know. This isn't like the roster is better now than it was on opening day. That's better than it was on Friday. Yeah, sure. If, if this offense can be average, they've got, they've got a shot like, and in July they were average. They were like middle of the pack and offense in July. Now, can that continue? We'll see.

But if, if they can hit the ball decent, their pitching is good enough that would give them a chance. I am on the Dan Cheney YouTube stream. As you guys know, Dan Cheney insurance, Dan Cheney dot com. People are commenting on the appearance of Matt. Matt looks like he's having fun. That's from Jerry. Alex says, Matt, it doesn't hurt to smile.

So you're getting ripped. That's a good, you got a good smile, dude. Wow. That is a nice smile. Hey there.

We need to see it more. Yeah. I think that might be the first time I've seen you smile many times, mostly making myself, you know, you always go, that's your laugh.

Well, there it is. Oh, actually those are veneers on top. I get a lot of compliments on those veneers. Oh, they are beauties. Yeah.

A guy at Brooklyn did it when I lived in New York city. Wow. Stud. Yeah. Basement Dave sending us a dollar 99. Thank you. I figured out what I'm doing with the tickets. I'm going to, you're going to have to use a link to get them.

I'm not collecting money. I'm going to reserve so many. If somehow we go over, but they'll probably be like in the bleachers out of the sun. There you go. You're pretty sad on the bleachers then, huh?

Well, what, where else should we sit? Are you guys going to get a win? Cup snake going? Am I going to get a, what?

A Winkler versus pup snake. Oh, we could do that in the parking lot or yeah. And the bleachers. Yeah.

No, someone on the first baseline. No, like I said last night, this feels like a bleachers kind of thing. Well, we're not like 20. Like there's like, there's plenty of games where you can get nice seats and watch the game with your family. We don't have to get nice seats. We just can get, you know, decent seats where you can see the baseball being played instead of the game is the thing I'm going to watch the game. I'm not, what are you going to do?

Like juggle and tell tricks or tell jokes. Well, I'll be wearing this shirt and you'll say, where'd you get that shirt? And I'll say four golf apparel.com 10% off promo code bar.

Duh. Is that going to be under your pro soccer hoodie? I won't. I don't know what hat I'll go with.

Probably a brewer hat. Well, Tim, say be there. Oh, so this whole thing was, cause this was the first day that Tim Shay and I could go to a game together. Tim will have some breaking news in the next week as to why he can't go to that game. Is that a prediction or you already know that from him?

I know that from him. Will Rami be there? I think, I don't know if he'll be back in town. He's invited. He is invited.

I had a lot to talk about with Rami. Yeah. Yeah. About how he killed the fan. We're coming up on a year.

Should I do anything special? Um, geez. Okay. Is Rami going to be the co-host of the Bart Winkler show? What's his plan?

This pod? Sacramento. Wait, does he not work at Sacramento space anymore? He left last week.

Left and under what terms? Under he missed his family. So he's back here? Yeah, but he's going to like, I don't know, travel for a month or something. So the girl that he moved out there to be with broke up with him? No, they're together. They're together. So she's back with him?

They're together. Oh yeah. That's all right.

Whatever. Whatever works for Rami. Hugh says death of the fan.

One year spill the dirt special. There's not really anything that nobody knows. There's not like some secret smoking gun.

Nobody knows. Unless I don't get Tim Allen on for a fan. Tell all him and Billy. Oh, he would. Yeah, there you go.

Or you could do a year in review. Bart Winkler show podcast. Should I do a clip show?

No. Those are lame. I hate those. Plus you wouldn't be able to, you'd have to go back and listen to hundreds of hours to really get the best ones.

Oh no, I make them take analog everything for me. Oh yeah, I'm sure he's really working hard on that right now. Jim Shay is probably shaving to go to work right now. It's like 6am for him. Yeah, he's probably asleep. No, he works at 10. He's got to get up, get moving. No, he works at worse.

He works at two in the morning. Oh, it's two. That's right. I thought it was 10 to.

Okay. So yeah, he's, he's, he might be deep in REM right now. What are the odds on this Tim Shay breaking news?

I'm intrigued. Cohen's always, Cohen's always got something on that type of stuff. What's the prediction? My prediction is he stays at CBS 58 and he just moves to a normal work shift. Is he taking Kevin Holden's job?

That would be major breaking news. Tim Shay Sports. He's taking Crowsies.

They kind of look. Tim Shay is doing television. Crowsies?

Yeah, yeah. That's the breaking news. Dennis Crowsie is actually Tim Shay's dad. Nobody knew it after all this time.

It's not Needles. Fuck that guy. Ken says, I bet the news is Tim Shay's going to be a dad. No couches don't make babies.

I think you have to, I think you have to go on dates with women for that to happen. My implication was that he had sex with a couch. Yours is worse than mine. It's that school.

Oh, professional reset. Nice. Um, well, I'll tell you who my pick is in the American League. And that is the Astros. The Houston Astros have not they have no like people are not aware of this or it doesn't. They've been to the ALCS at minimum every year since 2017. They've either been there or the World Series every year since 2017.

They want a couple. So I will say the Astros. And I will say the Braves. We just saw that the Braves looked Astros in the Braves. That's what I was gonna say.

That's boring. But I mean, yeah, the ALCS could we are the Ranger did the Rangers do enough to get in there? They I kind of do like the Rangers Jones Diamondbacks traded for Peter Strzelecki. Yep. Although we got rid of Chapin. That hurts. Like, obviously, anything can happen in October.

And we've talked about that forever. But I don't see anyone coming out of the AL besides the Rangers or Astros. I mean, the Orioles are great, but they don't have any pitching. Well, they got Jack Flaherty. Yeah, he's.

He sucks. Central socks and, you know, don't sleep on those rays. Andrews arrays in a or Astros or Rangers, in my opinion.

The artists formerly known as the devil rays. I like it. So all right. Brewers grade at the deadline.

What are you giving it? Be the race brave, by the way, I never said. I like the I think they again, they did they did the trades that were right for the team they have. And if you want if you want him to go all in, maybe maybe there's a different word. I've got different patients and I and I go like or a lack of patients and I go, well, I don't care about wiener free like trade for Juan Soto.

Maybe they maybe. Look, there's there's a there's a there's a there's a timeline or whatever I always say that there's a run. This is a bite to the apple.

This is a bite to the apple here. But that I'm a little surprised I didn't show an outfielder just because they've got so many of them. One of them is going to get traded to this offseason. So you're probably going to see a lot of moves in the offseason once they trade burns and maybe package some prospects to get a controllable starting pitcher. The other takeaway is that I'm still kind of surprised on that ureas trade. I was expecting him to come up any at any point here and kind of be a part of the shuffle between third and second to find someone a hit.

I know he's been awful this year, but he's been a good player the last two years and they're pretty much trade him away for a low level flyer and fishing prospect. Kind of surprised me but isn't that what levering said that that trade got in one minute before the deadline. Well, I don't know if that was out there before he said it. Isn't that Arnold?

Arnold did say that. Yeah. Isn't there pictures that got like rule five eligible next year anyway? Yeah, they have to add them to the 40 man.

The only thing I can think of is that the brew I mean, I don't know what ureas is making this year. I think it might be like three four million. So they didn't think he was worth the five to six million to get paid next year. So they would not tender them. So at that point, just flip them for something. But I didn't think it was to that point where you were gonna it's not like they have a third baseman just waiting in the wings. So Tyler black maybe, but they'll do it when they get there, I guess. So the Zach Davies trade is officially over for the Brewers. Well, no, now you're you're you're you're as counts for this guy. Oh, true. Well, the ureas and lower for Grisham trade. Yeah. So that'll count.

That's why the JJ Hardys trades still alive. Um, hot take Jake is here. I'm gonna bring him a shy five box it or is anybody dipping? You guys all good? I'm gonna dip.

Yeah. Where are you going? I'm gonna I'm gonna dip. I gotta get some work done. Yeah, I gotta work to peace record.

Hey, special announcement. I am taping something at four tomorrow. But if the game ends before then, which it will, let's just do another postgame show and bang out this whole series. You gotta get let's do a midday post tomorrow. Get Toby on where's he been?

Oh, 97 three. I told you that with Tim but I'll talk to Toby later in the week. I like that Tim brought him on. That was cool. I did too.

I like that Toby went on. Amen. All right. Peace out boys. All right. See you guys.

So yeah. Hot take Jake who now is a picture of Chuck Freeman behind him. There he is. How we doing fellas? What's up Jake? I'm gonna give the Brewers an A for their trade deadline because it was such a seller's market and you acquired three pieces that are going to be in your regular lineup essentially or in your regular route, either lineup or bullpen rotation.

And you didn't give up anything of significance either now or in the future. So I think given the way that it's constructed right now, I would say that's an a hold on Toby says that Andrew chafin he just tweeted this. Looks like if Tim Shay had a mullet and a mustache. And I don't like Andrew chafin. Do you see that that could be Tim Shay?

I just see a douchebag that thinks he's like cool and edgy for having a mustache and a mullet but it's kind of overplayed and overdone. Oh, he looks like the kind of guy I wouldn't get along with. He looks like the kind of guy who was born to play in Milwaukee though.

Why cuz he's he's born to play in West Allis maybe or you know, I don't know the West Allis nines man the falls hot take Jake Q. There he is that that guy fucks for sure. Andrew chafin.

Yeah. Oh yeah, you'll find Andrew chafin at Magoo's at like 145 just going down to the bottom rung of the bar skank ladder. Like for sure just anything that I'll talk to him. He keeps penicillin in his glove box. Alex wants to know where chafin was on January 6. That's the winning comment.

Yeah, you can't top that Ken thinks he looks like Mr. Slave from South Park. Just cross it. Not bad. What's up?

I mean, I don't got any baseball takes other than I'm looking forward to being in the bleachers. You're coming. I'm coming.

I'm gonna need we're not yet for no by like the 13th. I'll have more details tomorrow. It takes me like, to do a task.

I'm going to call the guy tomorrow. It takes me a day to get the email out. And a day to think about it.

Then a day to actually read the email that a day like like nothing to do. Yes. Okay. You want to know what I did today? Yeah. I walked my kid to school. Nice. A nice couple outside of Stone Creek coffee said Bart. It says matter of fact I am.

I believe was Elaine. Then I went home. Oh, I had to print birthday invites for my kid. And my printer ink wouldn't take to the new printer.

I had to go to Walmart and get new ink. Then I watched three episodes of Jessica Jones and then I took my kid to swimming. Sounds like a good day. I would say sounds like you could have planned the entire Brewers trip today in addition to what you do what would I do tomorrow?

Yeah, let's get that link out this week. Brewers trip plan. It's all that's all happening tomorrow.

Yeah, got my guy. He's gonna help me out. What's your next national? Friday night. Tomorrow's Wednesday. Yeah, I don't work again till Friday amount of occasion. No, you're not because you're planning the Brewers game. Yeah, oh, yeah. Well, that's Yes. Don't you understand how this works? I can't annoy you tomorrow.

Please. I'm on Bart's side. By the way, I really don't think many people are going to be watching the game. Like for me, me watching the game is going to be when I hear people cheer. I'll be like, Oh, you're one of the guys that said you one of the guys that said I'll go to my own seats. Yeah, I probably will end up sitting on my own.

I want to meet all you guys. I don't know if I want to be around you guys for, you know, four hours. That might be a little four hours. Have you seen a baseball game this year?

They're like two hours and 10 minutes. Who's driving my car out of the parking lot? I need Who can I hire to do that? I'll drive you Bart. Either nor I will be breaking you as well. Right here. Speaking of sober, Matt, who's driving you? Oh, my friend, Daniel, we went to a concert in Chicago. I was wondering where you were. What'd you see?

Marcus Miller. Why was it done at nine? Because there's a second show. It started at seven. Nice goes at seven and nine. Oh, that transitions me into what I wanted to say about happy place hemp today.

Sure. I did see that graphic that if you want marijuana, you have to go to any state that borders us. And we're the big no no because of the tavern league. So if you want to not drive and to get something, that's where the guys from happy place hemp come in. Happy place hemp calm promo code Bart 25% off every order. Okay, that's after they already lowered prices to and free shipping.

And if you look on their website, like the 25 milligrams, some of them I got like a 50 I don't know. They will stronger over there which they should agree instructions. So you're telling us?

I'm saying they're they're they're stronger than the average bear. You don't need to be jumping all the way down to Chicago to get the higher chase. Chicago for the concert, which I just talked about. But then I need to go to Chicago, or at least gurney because I did some fucking survey with FanDuel. And I thought they were going to give me $100 to FanDuel. But they gave me $100 a FanDuel sports book, which I can't fucking do here.

Happy place hemp calm promo code Bart. Speaking of concerts, I think my prediction on Tim's big announcement is that he finally got the call from jables. The D's going back on tour. So he's got to pick up the axe again.

Hit the road. Yeah. The only big announcement that Tim has is that is why he can't come to the game. There's a big announcement. It's just, it's just an announcement. It's more of like a reason.

So we should not get hyped up or excited for this at all. Correct. It's going to be like he has to drive his grandma to the neurologist. Or like a doctor appointment or something. Yes.

Do you know what it is already? Of course I do. Of course you do that. Yes, I do.

I do. I know. He said he can't come. And I said, Why? And he told me and I go, Oh, whoa, okay. But he wants you to set it up for suspense, like you are doing now.

I never intended to do that. Well, you started calling it big, like big news, I think. I think I did say that. But that maybe the showman in me.

You are a showman. That's that's for sure. I gotta go guys. Talk to you later.

See you later. Oh, that's too bad. I guess. Trev says first shows are for seniors. Yes, the average age was quite, quite high. I commented to my friend that we were among the youngest people there were 36.

And the average age was above 60. Luckily sounds amazing. I'd rather go to a seven o'clock show. We don't live in Chicago, we have to drive home.

And then we both have to work in the morning. So which brings up the cross my five year old poking me in the face at like 230. So I've got Kevin says who is mad driving with? He has not interacted with them once. That's because he's just sitting here listening to the show. Driving, driving back from Illinois. We're going nearly 80 miles an hour. So it's just being a safe, attentive driver.

That's my family. I go I go 80. Yeah, I go higher than that. But that's fine.

You know, we don't need to measure penis length. That's that's what we'll be doing at the tailgate. Yeah, I don't think I've ever got my car over. I don't think I've ever gone over 100 over 80 over 100.

Oh, that's reasonable. I think my max I think I maxed out at 95. Was that more because you were afraid of the speed or afraid of the speeding ticket? No, I thought I would like I was like on my phone and the next thing it was on 95. You were texting?

I'm not sure. I just know one time I was like, Holy shit, I'm going 95. Just looking down at Twitter with your foot on the pedal.

You wake up and it's 100. In baseball, we do have a baseball news. forever. Valdez has thrown a no hitter for the Houston Astros tonight. Cheater. So a rarity game a solo no hitter. Wow.

Two to nothing. Can we talk about Jordan love? Sure. I just wanted to bring up my jersey. You know, the the training camp footage.

It's like there's a brooder film. But you know, everybody's talking about that one rainbow shot to Watson. But did you see the clip today of him on the run, like backpedaling off of one foot, putting it like in the coffin corner to Jayden Reed who dropped it. This kid's gonna be legit man. He's got all the arm talent in the world.

Like, it's just a matter of being able to be patient in the pocket, you know, making all the correct reads. But as far as arm talent, like man, he's, he's there. It doesn't make sense to me is it's much more like, plausible that Jordan love is going to be good, rather than he's going to be bad. You take a guy who sat for under Rogers for three years, the Packers made this decision they moved on. At no point have they brought in like, another guy that's going to logistic like legitimately compete for a job. They're, they're, they they're letting this guy play.

There's, there's like no. If you look at the pros and cons, there's more likely that he's gonna be good than it is. We've seen this story before too. So, you know, I don't think it'll be surprising to people that watch Rogers sit and develop. I guess it could be surprising to get three good quarterbacks back to back. That seems like more of a exception to the rule.

But I think Green Bay just kind of has that down now. Like this, this is what we do. I'm I don't know that so much that like, Oh, we got lucky and got three quarterbacks back to back.

But because like, excuse me, excuse me, frog in my throat. Take your time. All right. So, yes, it's is it would be like getting, you know, quote unquote, three quarterbacks back to back. But in that time, there are other quarterbacks coming through here and battles and, you know, people being drafted and high hopes and Oh, remember, Brian brome, he was going to be the next guy after Rogers, we, we were going to draft him God knows how high and then we did draft him and then it was gonna be Matt Flynn and people come through here and Aaron Rogers has just stuck around for so long that it's allowed us to have that luxury of waiting for the next guy before we can force him out. So it's, it's assuming Jordan love our turkeys at Thanksgiving, all these other teams throw a couple of legs in the microwave and expect them to be the starting quarterback.

Exactly. So like, it's not like we just draft him and threw him out there and he's going to be good. This is this what fourth year?

Like, I hope he can do something for God's sake. It's just, you know, he's the first round pick athletically. And then he said three and a half or however many years this is. If you want to get technical, I don't know how the training camps add up.

Fourth one, I guess. So I feel like he absolutely has to be at least good. And if that's getting lucky, then I guess that's getting lucky. But it's more like the quarterback incubator, not just getting lucky. I love the word incubator, by the way, incubators, incubators, the ones that hatch and aren't good. You just let them freeze to death. But the ones that are good, you keep them under that heat lamp. What are you talking about?

I think the edible kick incubators and checks incubators. No, it's a, the NFL is such a copycat league too, that if Jordan love is good, like every single team that drafts a quarterback is going to start sitting them for two to three years. No one did that after Rogers though. Yeah, but this would be too like back to back then.

Like there'll be like, okay, they're onto something here. But I also think that it's, you know, it's tough because the general managers and the head coaches have no job security. So you can sign a four year deal as a general manager, a five year deal and get canned after the first season because it's like, everything's win now, win now, win now. So what happens is guys like Justin Fields that should be sitting for two to three seasons, learning the intricacies, the speed of the game, all that stuff. They're getting thrust into the spotlight because it's like, Oh shit, I drafted you. We're losing.

We need something. And here just go. And I think it's a, it's a shame because you probably are squandering a lot of good careers by putting guys or throwing them into the fire too quickly. Even guys like Sam Darnold and you know, just any number of quarterback busts over the years.

I don't think you see as many if it was the more old school method of sit for two years, then we see what we've got. Well, uh, boys, I'm going to let you two go. If you don't mind, please get soon and we'll see you at the game. All right.

Love you guys. We're going to talk before then, but yeah, yes, of course. I take Jake and Matt in the falls.

One thing I want to do is go through some of the trades. Um, and I was hoping to do that with Tim Shea. So tonight the honorary Tim Shea will be the Sean O'Connell. Oh my God.

You son of a bitch. I'm not newly as smart as first of all, how are you Sean? Very well. Thanks.

I appreciate that. How was the plantar fasciitis treating you? You know, it was getting better for a good three weeks and then yesterday was really hurting me. I am suffering from the inverse. I, uh, where plantar fasciitis is the golfer's elbow. I am suffering from Achilles inversion, which is the tennis elbow to that condition. Um, so right on fill your pain, the shoes I have help, uh, I'm actually right now wearing my slippers, which are Tempurpedic slippers.

And I wear these around the house and they, they really help actually. Glad to hear it. Glad to hear it. Um, before I get into some of these trades, any thoughts on the brewers, uh, the trades from your perspective? And I think I did, I haven't mentioned this yet, but it was good that they won tonight just because when you trade for all these guys and then if you don't like win these games, like, well, what the fuck did we trade for all these guys for? It was good to get a win tonight over the nationals, uh, especially today. Absolutely.

Um, and, uh, to see again, some of the, the guys that, um, that are contributing like Bryce terrain, you know, getting a warmer bat going tonight too. Yeah. It's good to see that, um, uh, we didn't mortgage the future and, um, didn't push too many chips forward because we just want one bite of the goddamn apple part Winkler.

I mean, if we get too big of a bite of an apple, Jesus Christ, what will we do with it? Absolutely. One other note I wanted to say about the, uh, Astros no hitter Astros through no hitter tonight. The Cleveland guardians are the team that they hit. I got the no hitter against that franchise has not thrown a no hitter since may 15th, 1981. They've been a no hit five times since the start of the 2021 season.

Uh, somebody else made a comment here. Why did the Astros always get them in the brewers never do people forget burns and hater combined like we, that we wanted to have no hitter for so long, but then it was a combined no hitter that we kind of forgot about it. So that's kind of a bummer. And interestingly enough too, the, the thing that was interesting about that combined no hitter to me, I thought that it was peak hater where to come in when your other guy just threw no hitter and to be expected to perform at the ninth inning, when the whole world is watching you, when MLB network is piping into the game, I thought that was peak hater where he came in and he got three, uh, sat all three of them down. I want to see, he got two strike codes if I remember right. I don't know. Yeah. I remember where I watched the game, but I don't like, I can't, I can't answer that question.

I can't either Bart Winkler. We shouldn't be expected to Tim Shay could answer that goddamn question though. For sure.

Then that's why you're here to be Tim Shay. Let's go. Let me run through the trades, uh, catch everybody up on this.

I said, I wanted to give you some information. Here it is. Uh, the trades, you know, from yesterday, Mark Hannah, Carlos Santana over the weekend, Andrew Chafin has been acquired. He's a lefty. This trade does not happen if Justin Wilson didn't get hurt. So the brewers see their lefty get hurt. They need another lefty. They acquired Chafin. They give them to Arizona. Who's competing and an exchange.

They get stress. Lecky. He's a righty, maybe a B minus move for both sides. Chafin has spent most of his career in Arizona. Then we kind of first really knew of him on the cubs. Then goes to the A's tigers, diamond X, grows his hair out. Looks like a, like a movie villain. And he, uh, is now a brewer for one nine ERA this season with eight saves.

There's one start. If you take out against or not start, but appearance, if you take out against St. Louis, he's got a two nine four ERA, but he's another lefty option. And that's what the brewers have acquired there at the back end of the pen.

They did make some minor, say that he looks like a villain. I would say he looks like every uncle I have on my mom's. Oh yeah. What are their names? All like dirt and tug, but yes, those are their nicknames, but Bronco. Yep.

Bronco Bronco. Yeah. You gotta leave him alone. Um, the, uh, the, the one though that the late last second at one though, the Louis, who are is being moved to Boston is the really intriguing thing. I just have a feeling that somewhere down the line, we're going to hear stories about somehow, some way, maybe personal problems for Louis where he kind of, or he got never good here and it never looked like he was going to be well, Tim Allen thought he was going to be the next superstar. Um, and there were flashes, but especially when his power numbers were up, but he started, and you know what, now that I say that maybe that's part of his downfall was, um, if we look at the documentary film, major league two, where, um, uh, Wesley Snipes character, uh, was then played by Omar Epps and he followed, fell in love with the power numbers and he stopped stealing bases, making, uh, stopped trying to be Willie Mays Hayes and wanted to be Willie Mays and hit home runs instead of getting on base, stealing bases, Louise got slow as shit. And maybe he started falling in love with the old bench press and a squat machine and started tightening up and getting slow and putting too much bulk on. And, and then if it just ruined the rest of his game, I wonder if we'll hear something like that down the road, Bart Winkler.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not like super surprised that he was dealt, but, um, it is kind of, you know, it's a bummer that then that didn't work out, but the emergence of Rona stereos is helped that it would have been hysterical if they would have traded him to San Diego for his hater. That would have been, that would have been, that would have been peak brewers, but, uh, it didn't happen. We missed an opportunity. I'm not like frozen right now.

Am I? We were frozen for a second, but then I think we're back. I'm going to move.

I'm moving. No, I got one bar, my fucking internet, AT&T. I like paid, like I, I call out, I'm like, how much money do you want to make this shit work?

And they're like, there's much, then it works worse. I don't know what to say to that. That is, uh, I know I'm at two bars, but I lost you somehow. Now I'm at three bars and you completely like, that was a weird noise. Where the fuck did you go?

Where are you? What the hell? What the hell happened?

What was that noise? All right. Well, I'm going to keep your screen there, but I don't, I don't know. Yeah.

Where the fuck you go? My fat pull, uh, Polish sausage fingers. I got a sausage fingers. Wow. I did. I did this. I did this number and, um, it took me to a Charlie Baron's link.

I don't know. Oh my goodness. Not only are they fat and wide, but they're not very long. I'd be the worst proctologist ever. Bart Winkler. Holy shit.

My family would starve in a year. Goodness sakes. Um, so the earliest trade, he was traded for a guy, Bradley Blaylock. This is a guy who could get rule five selected next year from another team. He's a pitcher. He's he's got a two one nine ERA and single and high a fan graphs has him as the number 17 prospect in the system.

He had Tommy John surgery. So they essentially traded him for like a flyer. And, and that's, that's the value of Luis Urrea. So that was a trade they made at the minor league level. Another trade they made at the minor league level was Evan McKendree is coming over.

He's a right. He's a pitcher, maybe provide them some starter depth, but they traded Alex Jackson, who saw some time with the club last year in April, the teams, they trade them to the Durham bowls of the rays organization. They're playing each other right now. So they just swapped locker rooms.

I love when that happens. Yeah. And I'm looking to see if either of them got in the game tonight. I do have the box score up here. It doesn't look like either of them got in the game. I have the box score up because Brandon Woodruff, four and two thirds gave up three earned. So you earned got a win. Oh, nice.

Keston here a drove in three runs. So how about that? Very nice.

Very nice. Yeah, I think I read Anderson's rehabbing there. Right. In Garrett Mitchell, I heard is the head of schedule.

Was that something I had heard or is that or am I making that up? That I haven't seen. So I will type in on Twitter, Garrett Mitchell.

And I just see a bunch of it like his trading cards. Son of a bitch. So I can't I can't answer that one for you.

All right. The other thing I wanted to mention was this was a great day for or a bad day for former Brewers. The A's have DF aid. Manny claws up Pena. The Marlins acquired Josh Bell from Cleveland. Part of the package was Jean Segura. The Guardians then immediately cut Jean Segura and the Mariners have DF aid Colton Wong.

Oh my God. So the Brewers basically they could reassemble a whole infield of former talent. And I think Jason Peterson got moved to as from Peterson got moved. Garrett Cooper, former Brewer got moved.

There's a lot of interesting connections today. And then this bombshell like report from Bob Nightingale. So the Mets are trading all the salary. They're trading these players, but they're eating a lot of the salary.

Here's Bob Nightingale. The New York Mets are sending the Astros about fifty four million dollars in the Verlander trade. If he takes his option in twenty twenty five, the Astros could have the Astros. Now the Astros had Verlander. He goes to the Mets.

They then had to give him like their number one prospect to get him back. But he's owed about ninety three million over the next two and a third years. The Mets would be paying about six seventy sixty five of that. So the Mets are shipping all these guys up. They're like shedding payroll, but they're still paying it.

According to Max Scherzer, the Mets don't think they're going to compete again until twenty twenty five. Then Bob Nightingale of USA Today tweets, the Mets are wiping the financial ledger as clean as possible for David Stearns, who's expected to be hired as president of baseball operations this winter, which is like we all like think that that might happen, but nobody's flat out and reported it in that way. That's still technically not a report, but it seems like Nightingale's like, OK, I know this is going to happen.

I assume you guys all do, too. So I'm just going to go ahead and say it. He's not reporting it. But by Bob Nightingale putting that out there, it's like, oh, shit. So this is really happening. So I thought that was interesting.

So very interesting day. The Sean O'Connell all the way around. It will be interesting, especially, you know, Mr. Cohen. I mean, he's supposed to have all the money in the world. But yeah, now that they're eating all these salaries, I mean, now we've always said, what will Stearns do if he actually had a payroll? Well, shit. Now we might not have a payroll until twenty twenty five with all the additional money that they're going to have to eat. So it will be interesting that he might end up actually going to from a small market poverty franchise to a big market poverty franchise.

Maybe they will need his special talents for a season or two before they just start throwing money at every player. You're coming to the tailgate, right? Fuck yeah. OK, I'm going to try to lock down tickets tomorrow.

And if anybody is like, what can I bring? Well, let me tell you about this package at Omaha Steaks dot com. Tell me more. Yeah. So they've got the package right now where you can get the four butchers cut filet mignons. The four air chilled boneless chicken breast, the four bacon rack pork chops for gourmet jumbo franks. You get everything, all this meat, 50 percent off their sale when you type in Bart.

So I'll go do that right now at Omaha Steaks dot com. But not only do you get that package at 50 percent off, they then throw in eight more burgers and eight more jumbo franks. So you type in Bart and you can get this package. It's normally 260. You can get all that for 129. Omaha Steaks promo code is Bart.

I'm getting 36 pieces of meat for 50 percent off. Yeah. Did you do the math? Well, I don't have my shoes on, so it made it a little easier. But yes, I did.

I did. Yeah. You're paying like three bucks a slab of meat. Oh, my goodness.

So those are good prices. And the good people of Omaha Steaks, I went during the pandemic when it was hard to find good quality food. Those people came through for me.

So they get the two thumbs up from the Sean O'Connell. And those are big sausage finger thumbs. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Make no mistake about it. Yes. So that's that's good. All right.

That's the show. I got nothing else for you boys. Excellent. Love you, pal. See you. See you, Sean. So tomorrow when the Brewers are finished with the Nationals, I'll pop on YouTube, maybe just recap things for 20 minutes or so. See what's up. And then I have a packed interview that I'm taping.

Not with a packer, a packer guy. More details to come. And maybe later in the week. And and then we got family night coming up this weekend. We got SummerSlam.

We got the USA that was supposed to be at the same time as SummerSlam. So I'm like, I would rather the game be in prime time for the women, but now I can watch SummerSlam. And it's gonna be a day where I'm with my kid the entire day because my wife's got a thing going on. So that when I come home, Toby will come on later in the week. Yes. So that when I can come home, because if I'm if I'm with the kid all day and then she comes home, they're like gives me free reign to be during SummerSlam.

We haven't talked about that part of the official agreement, but that's how I look at it. So that's what I'm doing. I appreciate everybody jumping on. I appreciate everybody watching.

I really do. I like that these games kind of end early because it's only nine forty five. I get one more episode of Jessica Jones in and then and then go to bed. See, once I'm done with Jessica Jones, I'll finish season five agents of shield until it times up with Infinity War. Then I'm going to go back and watch Thor Ragnarok and then Ant-Man and the Wasp and then shield and then endgame Infinity War and then finish agents of shield and then. And then start again with Wanda Vision.

So I got it all mapped out and I'm going to just pretend Secret Invasion didn't happen because they fucked that ending up so bad. For our Winkler show. See ya.
