Hour 1: Skubal Blues and Smack Watch Begins

Ben and Kyle open Tuesday’s show still underwhelmed by the Brewers’ deadline after Tarik Skubal landed with the Dodgers instead of Milwaukee. They react to Pat Murphy and Matt Arnold defending the Brewers’ effort, while Ben admits he is trying to recalibrate expectations after dreaming bigger for the best team in baseball. The conversation shifts to whether the Brewers still have enough magic, swag and offense to get past Los Angeles, especially after another frustrating loss to the Pirates. Packers training camp then takes over with a heated debate about Matt LaFleur asking officials not to signal Trey Smack’s makes and misses in front of the media. Ben calls it soft and protective, while Kyle argues Green Bay has to support its rookie kicker and judge him when games actually begin. The hour also includes Alex Strouf’s camp updates on Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, Xavier McKinney, Jordan Morgan, Lucas Van Ness and Smack missing a 52-yard situational kick.
