They're not just like – I think sometimes some teams say, well, you know what, we're going to sign this guy and hope he has a resurgence.

I've seen it.

I know what the Brewers are looking for at different positions and say, we want this out of the catching position.

We know he handles pitches 95-plus at the top of the zone receiving, even though the league would say his receiving numbers are terrible.

We know he handles that.

and three-quarters of our staff throws fastballs at the top of the zone.

I mean, that's a very generic example, but they're tailoring themselves to be successful, not tailoring themselves to be successful the way the league looks at it.

And year in and year out, they do this.

Now, this is where I think they fall short.

They find wins right now.

I think if they had Freddy Peralta right now, I think they would be a much more formidable team

playoff team and that's why I think they need to push in with a guy like Scooble they need to push in to get a Reed Detmers push in to get a Jose Soriano and really give their team a chance because you can only make the playoffs so many years yeah it's time to win a world series for Milwaukee yep that's a good stuff as always man thanks so much and again congratulations on your success managing yeah whenever you become a big league manager I know a good hitting coach too okay

Does he chew?

I'm telling you, people, nobody chewed gum harder than Kevin Barker.

That's true.

Nobody chewed gum harder.

That's how you get a jawline.

Like Buzz Lightyear.

That's what he has.

He is the quintessential redneck Buzz Lightyear.
