Speaker 1: Well, I know nothing about farming, but a little bit
Speaker 1: about just a little bit about baseball, Chad, Let's let's
Speaker 1: get into some of that. I know you've been doing
Speaker 1: this transition to the bullpen for a while. We've I've
Speaker 1: talked to you about it. Feel like in May or
Speaker 1: whatever that was, that was tot topic. Now that you're
Speaker 1: you're fully in the bullpen, I I haven't asked you like, like,
Speaker 1: how has how has it been now that that like
Speaker 1: that's its set transition at least for the rest of
Speaker 1: the year. Like what do you see yourself moving forward?
Speaker 1: Do you think you're started moving forward? Do you like
Speaker 1: this bullpen? This role? Just just sort of take me
Speaker 1: through all of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: At first, you know, it was one of those things
Speaker 3: where we're just you know, we're rolling with whatever the
Speaker 3: team needed, you know, and you know, I was super
Speaker 3: pumped about it is a different opportunity for me to
Speaker 3: you know, find myself again, just confidence wise. I wasn't
Speaker 3: really having too much of that going on, and then
Speaker 3: went in the bullpen and figure some things out, and
Speaker 3: you know, my stuff plays up a little bit more
Speaker 3: out of the pen, don't really you know, as far
Speaker 3: as facing hitters, I don't see him, you know, three times, so.
Speaker 2: I think that helps me.
Speaker 3: But as far as you know, starting goes, I want
Speaker 3: to obviously get you know, stay that way and with
Speaker 3: that mentality, but understanding that this is my new role.
Speaker 4: I mean you haven't obviously you know when you first
Speaker 4: got transitioned over seeing what Murphy was doing was really
Speaker 4: keeping you not like starter, I guess length, but you
Speaker 4: still kept that length right, you were still coming in.
Speaker 4: You'd go three innings, four innings, and then you know,
Speaker 4: it was almost like it was a repetition. You know,
Speaker 4: then on your bullpen day you're still getting in going
Speaker 4: like what one inning to one on a third. So
Speaker 4: but now it looks like it's kind of tapered off
Speaker 4: a little bit. You're not getting those you know, three
Speaker 4: inning saves coming in, so now it's more of getting
Speaker 4: your back to backs in and it's looking like you know,
Speaker 4: when Hayter was there, when he first got called up,
Speaker 4: that's kind of how his role was, right, He'd go
Speaker 4: two innings, one an the next day day off and
Speaker 4: then back kind of back to that are you. You're
Speaker 4: getting more and more comfortable, I guess going back to backs.
Speaker 3: Now and yeah, like you said, just that build up,
Speaker 3: like I was built up and then we kind of
Speaker 3: ran into it into it in San Francisco where you know,
Speaker 3: I had that long inning prior it was my second
Speaker 3: up and we got through the long inning and then
Speaker 3: you know, I kind of blamed myself a little bit,
Speaker 3: uh probably mentally drained a little bit and wasn't hadn't
Speaker 3: done that. I think the last long I mean I
Speaker 3: had before that was in Arizona, and you know, so
Speaker 3: I ran into that issue on the next inning and
Speaker 3: you know, kind of imploded the team a little bit there.
Speaker 3: And so you know, just kind of understanding your body
Speaker 3: and you know this game's.
Speaker 1: Up here though.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you're using a lot of your brain
Speaker 3: and thinking and stuff, it becomes draining and you got
Speaker 3: to understand where your levels.
Speaker 1: Are at, of course, and we've talked about that mental
Speaker 1: side of it too. What have you learned? What have
Speaker 1: you done this year to kind of you know, take
Speaker 1: steps forward, find out like what the mental space that
Speaker 1: you need to be in as simple as just like
Speaker 1: not thinking and kind of how do you how do
Speaker 1: you actually this feels like that's easier said than done.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, I think as a starter, we do these
Speaker 3: meetings and go over the hitters, and I think I
Speaker 3: was letting that affect me. I was, you know, thinking
Speaker 3: about the name too much instead of thinking about you
Speaker 3: know who who's uh, you know, a rightier left instead
Speaker 3: of you know, you're thinking about a right or lefting
Speaker 3: instead of the name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I was doing a bad job
Speaker 2: of that. And now I've simplified everything.
Speaker 3: I don't think about it as much as far as
Speaker 3: you know who's in the box. It's a righty er
Speaker 3: lefty to me, and I'm coming at you with my
Speaker 3: best stuff. And that's just been a big key is
Speaker 3: just being able to pound the zone as good as
Speaker 3: I can. Ran into a problem yesterday, I couldn't throw
Speaker 3: a strike. Luckily enough got the double playing. You know,
Speaker 3: it'll still give us a chance. But you know, those
Speaker 3: are those are things you think about and you move
Speaker 3: on to the next day. Though.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's the beauty of the bullpen man. You know,
Speaker 4: get over it because you're getting back in there tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Right. That's just that's how it is.
Speaker 4: And I know I'm sure for you sometimes like starting right,
Speaker 4: maybe you you might have a couple of innings, a
Speaker 4: couple of pitches where you wish you would have back
Speaker 4: starting Well, now you got to wait five days to
Speaker 4: really like get over that and get through it and
Speaker 4: get back into it. Now you got four days to
Speaker 4: really think about it. Which yeah, as a bullpen guy,
Speaker 4: it's you know, you can think about it after you're outing.
Speaker 4: But I see with you right now, I mean, obviously
Speaker 4: you're a guy that pounds the zone. You got your
Speaker 4: three fastballs and you got your slider, but again, you
Speaker 4: haven't you know, you haven't used.
Speaker 1: It as much.
Speaker 4: I feel like as when you were starting. You know
Speaker 4: it was there was moments where it looked like you
Speaker 4: were trying to go to it. But now, I mean, dude,
Speaker 4: it's that cutter right now is on another level.
Speaker 1: From what I'm seeing out of the bullpen with you, And.
Speaker 4: I mean, dude, from my from my perspective, I love
Speaker 4: seeing I love seeing Chad Patrick out of the bullpen.
Speaker 4: Just just saying, and I know, obviously, you know you've
Speaker 4: been a start of your whole career Arizona, lynd and Nashville,
Speaker 4: and then now you know last year with the Brewers
Speaker 4: and now this year.
Speaker 5: But obviously it's starting.
Speaker 4: You know, can also give you those I don't know,
Speaker 4: I guess the will to start pounding the zone. And
Speaker 4: now I've seen some of the best starters come into
Speaker 4: the pen and they do exactly what you're doing now.
Speaker 4: So I think you got a great, great mentality for
Speaker 4: the bullpen.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, I wanted to ask you a couple of
Speaker 4: questions about obviously some of your splits pitching in Milwaukee.
Speaker 5: Is there is there any place like?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you're splits at home this year versus away.
Speaker 4: It's not like two huge, But dude, it looks like
Speaker 4: you love pitching in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: I was telling you know when we had mc kohlers,
Speaker 3: he's setting never pitched in Milwaukee. I said, Dude, I
Speaker 3: don't know what it is.
Speaker 8: Anytime I'm on that mound, like that specific mound, it's
Speaker 8: like a jolt of electricity runs through my body and
Speaker 8: like I'll be throwing in the bullpen and.
Speaker 2: I'll be like, man, it doesn't feel good, and I
Speaker 2: get on that mound. It's like I feel like four.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just coming out like a little harder,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, where's that coming from?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I'm throwing, you know, the hardest
Speaker 3: I've probably thrown in my career.
Speaker 1: So far.
Speaker 3: And I give a lot of credit to our our
Speaker 3: guys in the weight room, Jason Meredith and jose Salas.
Speaker 3: They do a great job with everyone and making sure
Speaker 3: guys are getting in there getting their lifts in. And
Speaker 3: you know, we take the attention and focus it on
Speaker 3: certain things that you're gonna do on the mound with
Speaker 3: mechanical things, and I think that's helped a lot. And
Speaker 3: I give a lot of credit to my college coach
Speaker 3: because I didn't lift in college because see he exempted
Speaker 3: it for me, which is kind of funny. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just one of those things.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Milwaukee is it's a great, great place for me, and
Speaker 2: it feels like home.
Speaker 3: I'm super close to home, so I just I feel
Speaker 3: comfortable on them on there.
Speaker 1: I got I got a question for you about an
Speaker 1: outing at home, but we'll get to that right in
Speaker 1: one second. We'll take a quick break and we'll right
Speaker 1: back to get more from Chad.

Speaker 1: All right, Chad, let's go back in time to last October.
Speaker 1: You probably know what I'm getting. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I've ever talked to you about the Game five appearance
Speaker 1: where I'll be honest, I started rewriting my story in
Speaker 1: the sixth inning when I think what two guys were
Speaker 1: two guys on? Yeah, when you came in, I was like, well,
Speaker 1: this feels like about to go south. There weren't a
Speaker 1: ton of Cubs fans that, like, I mean not compared
Speaker 1: to the regular season. There were still Cubs fans there,
Speaker 1: but you could like feel the crowd was they were
Speaker 1: getting into it. Take me through that inning? And was
Speaker 1: that was that cutter? The back door cutter? The best
Speaker 1: pitch you've ever thrown? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What a game?
Speaker 3: I thought, sayah, you know, hit one in the gap
Speaker 3: there For a second, it wasn't really a good cutter
Speaker 3: to him, but you know, I thought it was a
Speaker 3: basement and I was like, damn, you know, and then
Speaker 3: Chario was was playing that way and which is great. So, uh,
Speaker 3: then we get to happen. I'd already I already played
Speaker 3: the scenario out. I already did it. You know, I'd
Speaker 3: already done it, and I knew I could do it
Speaker 3: again because I think I did it in Game three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so sounds right.
Speaker 3: So there was the same situation, and I knew that
Speaker 3: the sequence had to be a little different, and yeah,
Speaker 3: I threw it on the back side and.
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, take it taking.
Speaker 3: I knew he was taking the whole way. I could
Speaker 3: see it like after I released it, that he was
Speaker 3: taking it.
Speaker 1: And uh, you just needed it, You just needed it
Speaker 1: to get there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was just a great moment, and you know, I
Speaker 2: was super fired up.
Speaker 1: And then you had to go back out though.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, there's a lot of energy there.
Speaker 1: You know, there is something.
Speaker 2: There's something with me.
Speaker 3: There's something that there's like a dial in me sometimes
Speaker 3: and it's like a steam engine. Man, It's like or
Speaker 3: a teapot. You know, it's about to explode. Just I
Speaker 3: try to keep it mellow, you know, and calm, but
Speaker 3: there are times where I can show some emotion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially in that situation.
Speaker 4: Man, playoffs, you were electric right there in the NLDS
Speaker 4: and obviously got some time in the NLCS two against
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, and I mean, dude, it's it's not easy
Speaker 4: to pitch in those environments, man, and and you definitely performed.
Speaker 4: So I mean, look, it's obviously facing the Cubs all year.
Speaker 5: That is the rival for the Brewers.
Speaker 4: I know for me, you know, in the bullpen, I
Speaker 4: always had three guys in my mind, no matter who
Speaker 4: I was facing, what team, I was always facing Javier Baiaz, Rizzo,
Speaker 4: and Chris Bryant. Those are my three because I know
Speaker 4: I've faced them so many times. I knew how to
Speaker 4: pitch and all three of them were different types of pitches.
Speaker 4: You know, Rizzo's inside, Chris Bryant's inside, and so I
Speaker 4: feel like those three guys is really what like thrived
Speaker 4: me on every hitter that I faced.
Speaker 5: Do you have those you know now that you're.
Speaker 4: In the bullpen, right you try and say you're not
Speaker 4: looking at the name, You're just looking at righty, lefty right.
Speaker 1: It makes it a lot easier.
Speaker 4: Do you have those three guys in your mind that
Speaker 4: you know you're always gonna be successful against them, you.
Speaker 1: Know how to pitch them.
Speaker 5: Do you have Do you have any guys like that?
Speaker 1: I think it just depends on the series.
Speaker 3: I know that I'm like my role is like the
Speaker 3: bridge gat like I'm bridging it, yeah, you know, trying
Speaker 3: to get it and get it to you know, Ashby.
Speaker 2: Or you're able to gil with the score is staying
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 3: So I always like try to like, you know, it's
Speaker 3: probably gonna be a third time through, so it's probably
Speaker 3: gonna be on the two, three, four hitters if that's
Speaker 3: situation calls for it. And then I try to see
Speaker 3: the pockets and see who's on the bench. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm studying my sheet out there. I'm looking at the
Speaker 3: card that we have, Yeah, and I'm watching how our.
Speaker 2: Pitchers are pitching to him.
Speaker 3: You know, I was like, how watching Bryce Wilson because
Speaker 3: we kind of have the same mixer of pitches, and
Speaker 3: I was just trying to see how he was pitching
Speaker 3: some of these riotings and lefties the night before.
Speaker 2: Against the Padres. And you know, those.
Speaker 3: Are things that we look at on the iPad too,
Speaker 3: which is nice to you know, watch some sequences down
Speaker 3: there and kind of figure out, you know, we're just
Speaker 3: swinging miss you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It feels like you face the top of I mean
Speaker 1: it makes sense in the division face the top of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the top of the Cubs orders a
Speaker 1: lot like app Bush Jordan Walker. Feels like those are
Speaker 1: kind of the guys that you're asked to face a
Speaker 1: lot and that's that's I mean, like that, that's the job.
Speaker 1: But that's not not an easy ask. Ye here coming
Speaker 1: and and face the best hitters on the other team
Speaker 1: the first time out of out of the bullpen. That
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it would be an easy, easy ask.
Speaker 3: But I mean I just think, yeah, like Murph just
Speaker 3: trusted me to go out there and get those guys out.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you do your study. Man.
Speaker 4: I think that's what the Brewers are starting to get
Speaker 4: a lot better at now over the years, is they're
Speaker 4: realizing it's not just all right, we need this guy
Speaker 4: to go, you know, Bridge, we need this guy to
Speaker 4: go the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth, whatever it's.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm noticing like the Dodgers obviously, you know,
Speaker 4: they're they've always been on the top, and they have
Speaker 4: their bullpen where it's they have these guys where here's
Speaker 4: these three guys you're probably gonna face really no matter
Speaker 4: what inning it is. When it might come up in
Speaker 4: the fifth, it might come up in the eighth, So
Speaker 4: just be ready for these three guys. And it almost
Speaker 4: seems like for you, right it's there's been times so
Speaker 4: you've been bridging. But look, there's gonna be a situation
Speaker 4: where these are your three guys that Murph's got you
Speaker 4: locked in for and you've had those eighth innings, you've
Speaker 4: had those the saves. You know, it's it's been it's
Speaker 4: been pretty elite to watch man.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you also about your saves.
Speaker 4: Obviously, I know you you started, you know everything, but
Speaker 4: you got that first three inning save, got some blinking
Speaker 4: on Minnesota.
Speaker 1: That was a foreig inning, one run, one run. The
Speaker 1: whole time.
Speaker 4: We were talking about like, dang, I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 4: was just his first saver right there. So did you
Speaker 4: get you get a shower or anything? They throw some beer?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, everybody else is getting the beer ranch shed.
Speaker 3: Chad, they banned it, you know, they banned the ketchup
Speaker 3: and mustard I had. I was the last one last
Speaker 3: year to get the beans to ketch up and you know,
Speaker 3: vinegar and all that stuff, and they didn't want to
Speaker 3: have the cleanup no more. And then we were on
Speaker 3: the road and of course they know all these other rookies,
Speaker 3: you know, they get getting these nice, you know, warm
Speaker 3: beer showers, and then Chad he's getting everything.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was.
Speaker 3: Like, of course, I'm like withdrawing in this in this
Speaker 3: like caged laundry basket, and I'm just like, I did
Speaker 3: not want to go in here.
Speaker 1: Here we go again.
Speaker 3: It gives it gives the boys some excitement, yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: and that's what it's all about. So yeah, this team
Speaker 3: is really close together, and I like being, you know,
Speaker 3: the team. I call myself the team calm because I
Speaker 3: talked to everyone.
Speaker 1: Who I was gonna say, who's the who is the

Speaker 1: Shadow. We usually like to wrap it up with our
Speaker 1: player guests with light, lighthearted questions as well as I
Speaker 1: like to know a little bit more about guys backgrounds
Speaker 1: and college and stuff, and yours is obviously very unique
Speaker 1: going to Purdue Northwest, that's correct, right, yeah? Yeah? So
Speaker 1: what was your recruitment? Like, how did how did you
Speaker 1: end up there? I'm not not sure. A lot of
Speaker 1: guys get drafted out of there. Why did you stick
Speaker 1: around instead of, you know, maybe jump into a bigger
Speaker 1: d one And obviously I think, yeah, right, your number,
Speaker 1: your number got retired there, So what does that place
Speaker 1: mean to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? In high school, I was just you know, I
Speaker 2: played center field.
Speaker 3: You know, I was doing it all infield whatever, but
Speaker 3: you know, I really love liked pitching. And this recruiter
Speaker 3: is his name is Dave Waddell. He was recruiting UH
Speaker 3: school in South Bend, and then he switched the Pretty
Speaker 3: Northwest because it was closer to home.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: He actually works in the mills with my dad.
Speaker 3: So, uh, he brought me in to throw in front
Speaker 3: of the coach there, Dave Griffin and Shane Prance was
Speaker 3: a pitching coach there who's now one of my good friends.
Speaker 2: So basically threw in front of front of him at a.
Speaker 3: Shop and then I made a video about you know,
Speaker 3: like a video on me pitching, and I posted it
Speaker 3: and then like a day later, I just decided that
Speaker 3: I was gonna go to Predue Northwest is it.
Speaker 2: Got a got a good offer, and I thought, why not?
Speaker 2: And then I went to school there for four years.
Speaker 3: The reason why I didn't leave is because I was
Speaker 3: I was playing and I was developing, and.
Speaker 2: You know, I got to go play summer ball for the.
Speaker 3: Northwest Indiana Oilmen, and then the following year went to
Speaker 3: Traverse City, Michigan.
Speaker 2: And played the North Woods League, and I did that
Speaker 2: two summers in a row.
Speaker 3: And then this Hunter Brown was in uh he's with
Speaker 3: the Astros. He was in my conference. He went to
Speaker 3: Wayne State. In one game we pitched against each other
Speaker 3: in our conference tournament. That's kind of where where I
Speaker 3: got some acknowledgment and from some scouts. And then the
Speaker 3: following years when I got all the scouts to come
Speaker 3: to our game.
Speaker 1: So I had.
Speaker 3: Some illegal offers that you know, they're like other coaches
Speaker 3: in Texan and but at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: that's not what it was about to me. It was
Speaker 3: about being loyal and faithful and trust trustworthy of where
Speaker 3: my feet were. And you know, I enjoyed my time there,
Speaker 3: enjoyed my teammates.
Speaker 2: It was it's a grindy place. You don't you don't
Speaker 2: have a locker room.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't even have an indoor facility, you
Speaker 3: have to like we rented out from the him.
Speaker 2: And Sports place there.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of one of those deals where you know,
Speaker 3: I love where I'm from and I just wanted to
Speaker 3: prove to myself that.

Speaker 1: Forward and.
