Miz Mania, World Cup Dreams and 755 Wisdom

Homer opens the hour arguing that Jacob Misiorowski is pitching at a historically dominant level, comparing his ERA-plus pace to some of the greatest starting-pitching seasons ever. He also continues his new mission that the U.S. men winning the World Cup would be the greatest athletic achievement in American sports history, even if he admits he is not a huge soccer fan. Rain Man focuses heavily on Miz trivia, including his draft slot, 100-mph pitch records, ERA, strikeouts and rise through the Brewers system. Jerry Augustine, now jokingly called 755 for being the winning pitcher in Hank Aaron’s final home run game, joins to discuss Aaron’s greatness, Misiorowski’s maturity, and why Pat Murphy, Chris Hook and Jim Henderson have helped the Miz become more than just velocity. The hour closes with Augustine explaining why the Brewers should be careful with Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison, while Homer argues Jordan Love does not need to play better for the Packers to win a Super Bowl if the rest of the team improves.
