00:00yeah they might be better yeah the Brewers might be better yeah yeah but but if only if only the

00:08Cubs manager would call the home run play more you know my god what is what is going on with

00:16this discourse of like I love David Haw I love him but I'm gonna call him out right now did he

00:23say the manager was slumping did he say did he say the manager was like that's not a thing he's

00:29had some bad moments he's had some bad moments Tanner was too cute like it just was he did put

00:36leave show to Imanaga in a game long enough for your guy the one who you wanted with the Cubs

00:42Manny Machado did a home run when he could have put him on first base or brought in Soroka from

00:48the bullpen was that what you meant when you said Chicago wants are you just ignoring anything that

00:52Craig does poorly in this series Danny what's going on man no I'm not I'm not Grody and I'm thrilled

00:58that you're you're able to come into work today um but I know I was here's what I would say and

01:04listen I will admit my bias obviously I am friends with Craig Council you everyone is biased you can

01:08you know trust the people but it's not like I'm talking to them all the time I wished him luck

01:11before the playoffs started and that is the extent of it does it feel like they are a manager away from

01:17winning this series like does it does it feel like they are close it's not a rhetorical question

01:24it's not that I think it is the Craig Tober Craig Tember months combo and then you see what's

01:30happening with short rest for Matthew Boyd and that unfortunately blows up you know as a decision

01:36you end up using your bullpen anyway early after an inning it's that type of thing that I think

01:41like Colin Rea issue Colin Rea he is 34 years old and zero career playoff starts is the answer who

01:50whatever his name is Colin Ray Ray whatever and then and then uh Javier Assad not even on the

02:00playoff roster like let's just go through some of these numbers Ian Happ OPS in the playoffs 460

02:06I assume we want Ian Happ in the lineup I mean there's no other choice right like who else are you

02:11going to put out there who else you trust in left field quite frankly right no no that who else are

02:17you going to put out there that's the that's Pete Crow Armstrong we want him out there right yes

02:22check check OPS of 455 in the playoffs Kyle Tucker we want him out there right he's there he's a bit

02:31of a mystery man right now but yes Danny yes check mark OPS under 600 uh Dansby Swanson right

02:38unbelievable one one playoff game for you against the Padres right we want him out here yeah yeah right

02:43yeah I think so I agree OPS of 523 like players need to hit and then the front office needs to give

02:52you the enough arms to throw out there this isn't they are not a manager away the Brewers are better

02:58it pains me to say it but they they are just better so Ray Rea whatever the hell the guy's name is

03:04like he's he's not the answer here

03:08you
