Hello, and welcome, everybody. It's time once again to talk some sports with you and us here on the Scotty scoreboard weekly Wisconsin sports podcast on this, the 06/05/2025. My name is Jason Strybel, and I'm, of course, here with the always wonderful Ben Hallett. How are you doing today, Montfreyer?
Ben:I'm doing well, sir. How are you doing today?
Jason:I'm doing. And that's about all I have to say about that. But
Ben:it's 80 degrees here in Wisconsin, so, I mean, that's good. And let's just hope it keeps steady, you know Mhmm. Until December.
Jason:Yep. Steady 80 degrees for the next six months would be fantastic.
Ben:Let's just let's just switch it up just a little bit for a
Jason:while. A little bit. Just a little bit. But before we get to, hell bent on hell like weather
Ben:Mhmm.
Jason:We got, the what are we talking about today? I guess just it's just brewers. It's just brewers all day.
Ben:It's Ben's Hot hot hot hot brewers.
Jason:It's Ben's brewers breakdown for beer and baseball.
Ben:Rats and baseball and basketball and all the all the bees.
Jason:All the bees. Yes. All the bees. And it's it's a good time for it because, like, hey. It's summer.
Jason:Technically. Actually, it's still spring.
Ben:We're we're getting there.
Jason:Yeah. We're almost feels
Ben:like summer.
Jason:Yep. So it only fitting that we talk about the boys this summer since that's pretty much all that's going on right now. We'll get into some other fun stuff another time, but we're just gonna do brewer, brewers, brewers breakdown. The Ben's brewer breakdown. Yeah.
Jason:Yeah. Yeah. Brewers are hot, actually. Like Super. Super Oh, yeah.
Jason:That's pretty hot, actually. And they need to be because, the top end of that division is also just hot in general. So let's take a look. I mean, well, I'll bring up the, standings here. Here we go.
Jason:We got Chicago still up top at thirty eight and twenty three. Saint Louis at 34 wins behind them. And then Milwaukee, also 34 wins. Couple more losses, but that's how baseball works.
Ben:And,
Jason:you know, also, you know, Cincinnati sliding right now too. I think they're
Ben:They're Cincinnati.
Jason:Yeah. They just became Cincinnati again. So that that's how
Ben:we're They're above them, now, you know, now we're they're four back just from us and nine and a half back from the cubbies. So Yep. They're on a slide. Slide.
Jason:They are they are sliding in Milwaukee surging. What's the key? What's the key to all this? Because everybody's playing better. You know?
Jason:So what's really been the key to kinda take them to the next level?
Ben:Well, a couple things. Last time we talked a couple weeks ago was, I brought up Yelich. What's happening? Is it the injury? Is it the you know, what's happening?
Ben:And then he was just NL player of the week. He had five home runs that last week. You know, he was, I think, batting 500 that week, I think, was his batting average for the seven games. So, yeah, crushing it, and then had another home run, you know, right on Monday again. So six home runs in the last nine games or whatever that is.
Ben:That's pretty good. Pretty much showing that he's back on track. So don't know if that was still injury prone or just kinda hitting that slump, that bottom kind of feeling and just turning something around. But, hey, it's working. And, I think last time we talked about it, he had, yeah, seven home runs, and now he has 13.
Ben:Boom. Just like that. So that's a that's a big switch. Yeah. 13 home runs, 41 driven in now.
Ben:So that is that's looking pretty great. So, yeah, that's happening, and I think his hitting has been contagious since the bats have been just going off, like mad. We were talked about almost all year that especially this last, like, month, there's been no run support, no bats. You know? You know, if you if you score zero runs, you're never gonna win.
Ben:There's a lot of those games. Mhmm. Over and over and over with the guardians and the twins. So that was, you know, kinda concerning. So yeah.
Ben:But then we went out to Pittsburgh, and we took we wanted to take four. We were talking about that. We should take all four of those because Pittsburgh's know, it's Pittsburgh. They're at the bottom of our division and, just not looking the greatest. But we took two out of four.
Ben:But, again, we were scoring, you know, eight runs, six runs or sorry, eight runs and six runs in those wins. So, you know, building it up and then sweeping the reds at or the red sox at home, you know, in three games was pretty great as well. And that was more of a just comebacks. We came back in almost every one of those games. So show showing that resilience like, hey.
Ben:We're winning games, you know, you know, eight to fives, you know, that kind of thing with Pittsburgh, but then we're also winning, like, you know, three to two, six to five, you know, those kind of games as well. So taking those four games, you know, after losing that one on Saturday in Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago was huge, you know. And then the real test was going into Philadelphia because they're actually pretty damn good. Boston was still they're kinda in the that middle run. They're kinda like us.
Ben:They're kinda hovering around 500 for the most part. So, you know, taking them at home, great, but, you know, what are we what are we seeing out of that? I don't see a ton yet because we need to see a challenge. And then we go to Philly, and I didn't realize that if they don't have the Bryce Harper key, the machine doesn't work Yeah. At all.
Ben:And that's exactly what it was. Seven Baron, they can't do anything.
Jason:Yeah. 17 runs on
Ben:the same.
Jason:Game. Oh, man.
Ben:Yeah. Six to two that first game, which, again, that was pretty close, and then it kinda, you know, we built up and built up and, you know, took that lead in the fifth and then held it now. Gotta run another run-in the ninth at the end there, six to two, which is great. DL Hall's come back for starting pitching, and they've been pretty ramping them up pretty slow. So, like, three to four innings.
Ben:So they've been putting Quentin Prester after him, and that has been working just great. I think he had the he had, I wanna say, 15 or 16 ground balls in relief in that game.
Jason:Okay.
Ben:I wish they'll say, hey. That's Yeah. No strikeouts. No strikeouts. No walks.
Ben:Like, 16 groundouts out of 19 batters or something like that he that he had. So Okay. Again, that was great. Gave up a couple earned, but, again, doesn't matter. He had to do six it was six innings relief Mhmm.
Ben:That game. So that's pretty impressive. So long, long day. So that was great to see as well that, you know, we're waiting for Rudy to come back. He got a little sideline.
Ben:I don't know if you heard about that. We can talk about that maybe a little bit afterwards on his comeback, unfortunately, yesterday. But, yeah, to have that DL call coming in and ramping him up to now fill another, you know, starting pitching spot for now until he comes, and then we're having that Quentin Priest are coming to back him up, which they did again a couple days ago, which we'll talk about in a second. But, yeah, it's six to two, and then it's the next day, 17 to seven. And, again, those seven runs not the seven runs, but the five of those seven runs were in the ninth for the Phillies.
Ben:So it was 17 to two going in the ninth. You know?
Jason:Yeah. That's a that's a whooping.
Ben:That's a whooping. Oh, yeah. Chad Patrick, six strong innings, five hits, two earned runs, six k's, no walks. Stellar start out of that kid. He's three and four.
Ben:His numbers are so much better than his record, but, his his runs that he's gotten since when he starts are, like, one, zero, two, you know, like, he's just not getting a run support, and now he's getting, you know, he got four in the first. Before he went out there, he got four. So Yeah. That puts you at ease, and you could see it. Just crushed it.
Ben:Lazaro, the Phillies pitcher, I felt bad for because he was just, they kept him in there forever. He had, like, a 2.1 ERA going in. He went to, like, 3.4 after that game because he gave up 13 or 12 earned runs. Yeah, man. Three and one.
Ben:Three three and one third innings. So, yeah, that was, you know, that was kind of the beginning of the end. I thought we're gonna take this whole we're gonna sweep the Phillies, and we did. But, yeah, 17 to three seven. I thought it was great.
Ben:They Reese Hoskins, you know, played in Philly forever. He came out. You know, they've been, like, kinda giving a little standing ovation or applaud or, you know, when he comes out, and then that game hit two, three run homers, and then it was just like Philly fans. Yeah. And I was like, there they are.
Ben:Yep. There they are. Like, here we go. But, yeah, everyone was raking home runs in that game. Hoskins had two, And then, like, Cheerio had one, and then just the RBIs.
Ben:It was just insane. Just greatness. All the pitching was amazing throughout, obviously, except, unfortunately who was it? Oh, yeah. Tyler Alexander, who gave it the five in the ninth.
Ben:But, again, thank god we were up by 17. It was garbage. It is what it is. But, yeah, it doesn't matter. 17 to seven, whooping.
Ben:And then, you know, the next game on that Sunday, maybe a little low. Right? Like because, like, you know, Jose Quintana, they're joking. Like, he was just coming back, you know, his first game pitching on just coming off the IL starting and, like, you know, save me some runs. Right?
Ben:Like like, Jesus, 17 onslaught. Like, holy crap. But, yeah, Quintana didn't get the win, but because he gave up two. But, you know, they again, we were down two to one in the fifth. And then the seventh, we dropped three, and then then the ninth, we dropped another, went five to two, just, you know, showing that resilience, showing that we're not gonna stop.
Ben:Showing that in baseball, it doesn't matter. If you're down a hundred, up a hundred. If I'm a bat, I need to show that I am a pro, and I'm gonna get that hit because it's we might be a team, but it's also individual. You know? You gotta show that you can do it.
Ben:So and that's what they did. They just kept raking and raking and raking and raking. So that was great. And then, basically, like I said, everyone's average basically went up, like, tenfold in the last week. You know, like, amounts.
Ben:Like, you know, like, was in the under 200 when we were talking last time, and he's at $2.33. Yeah. Which Oh, actually, I'm sorry. It's even higher than that. This is just this game.
Ben:It's even higher than that, but just nuts that, like, all these guys who are just kinda doing alright are just now on top of it, and we're gonna be getting healthier. So you gotta watch out for these guys, this team. So, yeah, that was the Philly series. Anything you wanna add with either that whole week that we swept both, you know, the red sox and the Phillies?
Jason:Right. Which is just crazy in its own right. Right? Like, I know, like like you said, once the you do lose Bryce Harper out of that lineup, and that's a huge blow. Like, it just doesn't work the same anymore because he's so good.
Jason:But, I I mean, sweep Boston at home, then go to Philly and sweep them in Philly. Like, that's not supposed to happen even in a three game series. And, yeah, you drop one to Cincinnati. You drop one to Cincinnati, to a three game series. That sucks.
Jason:But, hey, it's a division rival. Really, you're just trying to come out of those ahead in the series. Right? Like, you're not necessarily looking to sweep because it play them so much that you're gonna drop games to them. It's just gonna happen.
Jason:But then Yeah. Sorry. Go ahead.
Ben:I'll say, yeah. I said, oh, I'm just saying, yeah. Again, that red series, which should have been a sweep because that game we lost, it was tied because the eight Powers hit a home run, and then that guy brought it back. So, I mean, like, that's how close it was for being Sure. A sweep, basically.
Ben:Like, they literally had to go over the wall and grab that ball to win the game. So to me, we it was basically like a sweep because it was we dominated. You know? Like, we still can't we still should've came back and won that. It's just that one card didn't fall.
Ben:But then
Jason:Well, and they were clearly pissed about that card not falling too because they come out and win the next game nine to one. So
Ben:Oh, yeah. They were worse than that. They were
Jason:just like, look. Okay. We're not gonna let that happen again. And then tip put the wood to them. Kinda looking like what we expected them to look like and hoped they would look like once we saw the injured list at the beginning of the year.
Jason:Like, oh, man. Like Yeah. Think we even said, like, we were just kinda hoping they were they would hold serve until the guys started coming back. Yep.
Ben:Yeah. And that's the thing. That last game, that nine one game, what was the pitching? DL Hall started off with three three four innings, couldn't point to five innings. You know?
Ben:Like, it works. It sounds weird, but it's just like one of those quirks that maybe when we until Woody gets back, that fifth spot is those two guys just doing that. And so far, they've given up one run.
Jason:Hey, man. Oh, two runs now. They they isn't that what what was it? Detroit did a lot of that last year. I think we touched on that.
Jason:Like, they had this weird strategy whenever what's his name wasn't pitching. They just pitched by committee. Like, they started they had an opener who'd only pitch, like, the first inning or something like that. It was strange.
Ben:Yeah. I feel like I feel like at the end of season, a lot of those teams do that as well when they're either, like, not gonna make the playoffs and they don't have starting pitching that either is like, you're gonna produce anymore this year. Like, they don't wanna set them or whatever, and they kinda do those pushing by committee. But, I mean, I remember in some of the, like, bruise in the playoff game, I think we had to do a pitcher by committee one time because just we didn't have enough people there, and they're just like, you know, first inning is this guy, second inning is this guy, and it worked. We won that game after ten or whatever years ago, but it's just, you know, it's just a weird recipe that probably that usually doesn't ever work.
Ben:But now it's proven that twice that, hey. Let's keep this going if that's the way if that's the only way we can do it. So Hey. W is a
Jason:w, man.
Ben:Who is again Chris Hook? I talk about all the time pitching coach just crushing it again this year and last seven, eight years. Because again, yeah, Nick Mears came in, closed the game. He's been phenomenal as well. So using just three pitchers in the game was a good feeling as well.
Ben:Because, again, we're I feel like we're just depleting that open forever, you know, before that Pittsburgh series. And now it's just like whoever steps in can just kinda get it done, and that's been great. And, again, none of these games that we've lost have been blowouts or anything. It's just been, you know, you lose by a couple of runs, and that's it. It's kinda normal.
Ben:It's been nice not that, like, we've been blowing out people instead of the opposite. Like, we've been putting the bats to them, and it's, again, just been great. Daz Cameron is you know, I don't know if you know who is. That's Mike Cameron's son who's for the brewers. He was, you know, he just came up not too long ago.
Ben:He's been playing the outfield, and, you know, he his home home run yesterday and, like, you know, he's been in there in a lot more hitting. He had these young guys like Isaac Collins and, of course, Jackson Cheerio, but all these young guys too that are coming up and contributing as well when we already have, like, a self free liquor, a yellow driver in the outfield. So it's nice to have these guys who are filling in those one or two days a week are now, again, hitting and, again, the bats are just contagious. It's it's great. It's great.
Ben:They're eleven and three in the last 14 games.
Jason:Yeah. Take that. Take that all day, man.
Ben:Come playing. Mm-mm. Not at all.
Jason:No. You mentioned somebody getting a little setback coming back off of injury. That that doesn't sound good.
Ben:Yeah. So Brandon Woodruff, who's been, you know, all year and all last year too, he took a he took a ball off his repaired elbow. You know? Whatever. Not too many pitches in on Nashville.
Ben:That was two days ago. So he's back on the fifteen day DL. It's just a contusion. You know? It's a bruise, basically, bruise elbow or whatever.
Ben:But, again, it's just like, ugh, you know, like, he can't can't can't get a break, man. It's just like he doesn't wanna pitch in Nashville anymore. He wants to pitch everywhere but Nashville. You know? So Yeah.
Ben:But, yeah, he it's a 80 mile an hour ball off your elbow. It's, you know, any it's probably gonna set back anybody if you had a surgery or not. So Mhmm. But, again, X rays are negative. That's really, you know, what you wanna see.
Ben:So that was the scares. They're like a fair line fracture or anything in there, but there isn't. So let's just hope that that fifteen days is nothing and maybe one more minor league start and then let's get them out there.
Jason:Yeah. Or just bring them right up. Like, I mean, I think just That's needed. He had how many reek rehab? Lot.
Jason:Like, a bunch. Like, to the point where I don't even know how many he had. Right? So, like
Ben:I was gonna look it up real quick because I had him up here. I think he had it, I wanna say, maybe four or five. I thought
Jason:it was higher than that, but either way,
Ben:like I mean, think he's good. Right? Twice minimum. You know? So Mhmm.
Ben:What you think when you get to that stage is when you're going back to Milwaukee because you're a stone throw away. So Yeah. I Nashville again. I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
Jason:I I guess you could send him back down for a game or two or whatever once he's off the aisle, but I think he would be as warm as he should, you know, as he can get at this point. Hope so. Yeah. There is actually one thing I wanted to ask you as you are a baseball man.
Ben:Mhmm.
Jason:And I was going I was making the little, like, team leaders screens that, like, people would see. And I noticed that Jackson Curio has 40 more at bats than anyone else on the team and only two more games played. So, like, I'm not a baseball man. Can you explain to me how that happens? How he has, like, so many more at bats?
Jason:Because I because he has 70 hits. And I'm like, how does he have 70 hits? And he's, like, only batting two sixty. And then I look. He's got 269 at bats already.
Jason:I'm like, woah. Yeah.
Ben:And the reason is because he leads off the most. So those lead off guys are gonna get one more bet pretty much every every game, and that's you know, unless we're getting 17 runs and sporting that wealth around, you know, getting up there six, seven times, that that's really the only reason. It's him and Bryce Terang usually are, you know, starting at that one two position. So
Jason:Okay. I didn't even think about lead off doing that, but, yeah, that you'd get, yeah, one or two more at bats, like, all the time. Yeah.
Ben:Yeah. Which is good and bad depending on your season's going.
Jason:Yeah. If you're batting two sixty, that's fine. Right?
Ben:But you could
Jason:you could bat a little better than that. But, hey.
Ben:He's having a great season. Yeah. Just a great season, Jackson. Yeah. Batting two sixty again.
Jason:Slugging's at four forty six, which is Yeah. Real nice. So, yeah, he's having a good see, I just was like, how is he? Because, like, selfishly looks, like, two ninety one batting average, and yet Jackson trio has more hits. And I'm like, well, what's Jackson trio batting?
Jason:And I look. I'm like, how does he have 40 more at bats? But, you know, there's they played 60 games, and he's lead off hitter. So, yeah, he's gonna get an extra bet or two. So yeah.
Jason:Okay. That explains that. Thank you, mister baseball man.
Ben:Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say too. I did hear some because, you know, we're coming up on a a trade deadline and stuff like that's gonna be coming up in Major League Baseball too. And I heard that at some point here that the brewers will probably be looking for someone on that left field or the infield, that shortstop, and or, third base because, again, those batting averages at left side, Caleb Durbin and Joy Ortiz are still kinda I mean, Durbin's been doing better.
Ben:He's been, again, taking advantage of these hits. It's hitting, you know, more but Ortiz is just I've been ruling so many things like, he's just having bad luck this year. He's just hitting it right at people and like, oh, I'm like, that's great, but like, you're batting one eighty five. Eventually, you're gonna have if you're hitting it so well, you're gonna get those gaps. You're gonna get those guys to drop it or you're gonna get on base some way and it's just it's just not working out.
Ben:So I feel like we're gonna be seeing something, you know, this year. And, you know, there'll be finally some buyers instead of sellers.
Jason:Okay. You know?
Ben:You know, like, I would love to have just because he hasn't been doing that well last couple years in Saint Louis, and, it's in rival in in division rivals. I don't know. This is a stretch, but Nolan Arenado, I think, would be a great third base addition just for the rent for the at least a year or something like that this year because, you know, he's got a great history. Maybe just a change of scenery will just kinda spark it up a little bit more for him, but, like, it's you just gotta you gotta do something. And I think that's really as far as I could go, as far as you can the best player you can get right now that maybe would be on the trading block down the road.
Ben:But the only thing that would hurt us again is that Saint Louis is probably not gonna give us crap, especially especially during the season. Yeah. Right. Especially when we're one game back
Jason:from the break now. Yeah. Hey. You wanna help us make our team better while we're chasing you in the division race?
Ben:Yeah. And we'll give you a prospect or something. You know? Like, hasn't proved a damn thing yet. So
Jason:Yeah. That's tough. I mean and shortstop is not all you know, it's not a typically some a position you get a lot of offense out of. Right? But, man, one seventy, one 80, you gotta hit better than that, man.
Jason:Like, that's that's not gonna cut it for a team that's behind the cubs and cardinals trying to get into the playoffs. Right? Like, they're gonna need now granted, it's working for now, but they're gonna need something more reliable going forward, I think. You know?
Ben:Yes. For sure.
Jason:I'd hate to see this be like the brewers every year where it's like, yeah, brewers, and they get into the playoffs and they get trucked, like, immediately. I I I'm tired of seeing
Ben:that. No. And that's the funny thing. So going back to, like, a couple years ago when South Freer came up, he was going to the third base. Oh.
Ben:But then he got gold gloves and platinum gloves and all these gloves out in the outfield that they're like, we're keeping you there. And now I'm like, hey. We got Daz Cameron and Isaac Collins and all these other young outfielders, Woodchurio and Yelich, and, you know, Garrett Mitchell coming back soon and all that. Like and Blake Perkins coming back. We should be like, hey, Sally.
Ben:If we don't find anybody, hey, Sal. Would you mind going to third again? Like, I don't know if that's an option, but, you know, we need your bat in the lineup, and we need you third, and we can put someone else out there that maybe give them a shot in the outfield that, you know, Ortiz and Durbin haven't proven yet. So, you know, like, that could be something too.
Jason:Yeah. Let's sell Felix Quincy. Great. Win a platinum glove at third base.
Ben:And just, you know, and then we'll just and then keep moving around, and then he'll be the first player in Major League Baseball history to win one at every single position.
Jason:Yeah. That'd be awesome. That would be awesome. Because
Ben:yeah. Gotta do something.
Jason:Yeah. The like yeah. I know. Like, it's, like, one of those things where it's working now and you don't wanna mess with it, but also, like, look at what the rest of the season's gonna look like. Chicago doesn't look like they're gonna shit to bed this year, and Saint Louis is Saint Louis.
Jason:They're they're always they're always gonna be a pain in the ass. So, like, stay like, knowing that there's something good going on with this squad is great, but I think you're right where there's needs to be some there needs to be another something here. Something else needs to happen to really, you know, really thrust them into the next stratus level of the stratosphere.
Ben:Yeah. Mhmm. For sure. You gotta solidify that infield. Because if you do and everyone's hitting, just I mean, you're gonna be unstoppable.
Ben:Mhmm. And you're gonna have to be with the cubs and the cardinals around, unfortunately.
Jason:Yes, sir.
Ben:Back to their old ways. Mhmm.
Jason:Those dirty cubs. Exactly.
Ben:I think the brewers still lead the majors in stolen bases, if I'm correct, which is pretty great too.
Jason:That's good.
Ben:I wanna I'm trying to think what they're at right now. I was gonna look because they were. I mean
Jason:Yeah. They have that one game where they stole, what, like, 14 bases in one game or something like that just, like, a month ago. So, yeah, they were doing good. Who's that? Pat Murphy that's their manager?
Jason:Yeah. Is that a Pat Murphy thing Where he likes to play that small ball or?
Ben:Craig Counsell kinda put that in perspective a couple years ago to do like, you know, like, once the home runs, what used to be that home run hitting team and once those are kinda falling off, it's like, what's the next thing? Like, get on base, get the second, get a hit, get a hit. Like, there's gotta be another way. Oh, no. We're in a second right now.
Ben:The Tampa Bay Rays do have 86. But again, it's nice to be in that top three because, again, how you generating runs? How are you still in the middle of the pack there with all these injuries? It's because you're stealing bases. You're getting in
Jason:Free points. You're getting the scoring
Ben:position and and then they're hitting them in. It was so funny that 17 of seven game, the brewers were, like, 11 for 15 with Verizon scoring position. I was like, I've never seen, like, a scam like that. Like, okay. Like, you know, that's that's a pretty big, pretty big stat.
Jason:That's, yeah, it's pretty much what
Ben:you can ask for. 73% of the time when someone's in running, know, in squaring position, they're hitting them in, which, again, shows 17 runs. But, yeah, just that in that Colorado game, 17 runs. It was just we gotta have more of those. Mhmm.
Ben:We gotta have more.
Jason:Right. Right.
Ben:It makes baseball fun. Yes. Might not be for this posing team, but, oh, for us, it's it's amazing. It's amazing.
Jason:Yes. It is. Yes. It is. So going forward, we got, what is it?
Jason:The Padres are the next series coming up.
Ben:Starting tomorrow. Yeah.
Jason:Should be nice and sexy. And then a brave series right after that. Important to do well in these series, I think, because these are teams like, they're NL teams. And I, I don't know where Atlanta's sitting right now.
Ben:But They're not doing very well, Atlanta.
Jason:Okay. Well, San Diego is a decent team. You know, you wanna beat decent teams. You gotta win these series. And then you have a four game series at home against Saint Louis right after that.
Jason:So gotta get that momentum going into that series. Try to take second place in the division.
Ben:Yep. But, hey, we got Chad Patrick tomorrow night. Again, he's three and four, but if you look at his numbers, he is crushing it overall this year. So that'll be great to see. Yeah.
Ben:I mean, at home is two and two with a 2.34 ER or two three two point three seven ERA. I mean, that's
Jason:That's very good.
Ben:2.97 overall this year. You know? So he is
Jason:That's second on the team, I think, right behind, you know, the main guy, Peralta.
Ben:Peralta.
Jason:Yeah. You know you know, the one guy
