Latest / The Huddle / 10/07/26 - Hour 1
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: There is no joy in Mudville.
- 0:02Speaker 2: There is no champagne in San Diego, but there is
- 0:05Speaker 2: a huddle in Milwaukee and one in Madison and one
- 0:08Speaker 2: on your device of choice right now. Welcome in five
- 0:12Speaker 2: o'clock clubbers through Billy and Armin bringing it to you. Groggy,
- 0:16Speaker 2: but otherwise cheerful and optimistic.
- 0:19Speaker 1: That's well said.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Listen, there might not be some champagne, but there's a
- 0:22Speaker 3: huddle and you get to huddle up with us and
- 0:24Speaker 3: it is bear week. And the only bad thing that
- 0:27Speaker 3: happened last night, Drew, is the fact that we didn't
- 0:29Speaker 3: get to move on to Packers and Bears one full
- 0:32Speaker 3: day earlier. We got to deal with this Padres problem
- 0:35Speaker 3: one more time.
- 0:36Speaker 1: That's right.
- 0:36Speaker 2: 877-794-1973 to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. Venn diagram
- 0:42Speaker 2: of people listening to us now who made it to
- 0:44Speaker 2: the end of last evening's game.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I would assume probably more than they care to admit.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Okay.
- 0:49Speaker 5: Right.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Like I'm guessing it was probably a lot of folks
- 0:52Speaker 3: that right after Cooper Pratt spikes the ball over to
- 0:55Speaker 3: Jake Bowers, thinking, ah, you know what?
- 0:57Speaker 1: Maybe I rolled my head over.
- 0:58Speaker 3: And then the top of the seventh inning happened. And
- 1:00Speaker 3: then you're like, whoa, okay. Now they got something cooking
- 1:03Speaker 3: here in the A. Now maybe I will stay up.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I think there's probably the seventh inning probably gave too
- 1:08Speaker 3: much life to many folks that had to work very,
- 1:11Speaker 3: very early this morning.
- 1:12Speaker 5: The thing about this team, which is good if you're
- 1:14Speaker 5: a fan, not good if you were like trying to
- 1:16Speaker 5: give up and go to sleep, was that they constantly
- 1:19Speaker 5: are coming at teams and not giving up. So you
- 1:21Speaker 5: always tell yourself, well, We're never out of this thing.
- 1:24Speaker 5: We're going to keep giving ourselves a shot. We're going
- 1:26Speaker 5: to keep getting threats going, which they did all last
- 1:30Speaker 5: night and just couldn't finish. Frustrating, just because that's probably
- 1:33Speaker 5: their best game in terms of hitting, contact, consistent offensive
- 1:38Speaker 5: threats in the entire series, but just not enough to
- 1:41Speaker 5: put them over the top. You kept feeling like there
- 1:43Speaker 5: was a dam that was about to break, and you
- 1:45Speaker 5: were right there. 11 hits, but just couldn't break through. Yeah,
- 1:50Speaker 5: I think so, Billy, because If you were trying to
- 1:52Speaker 5: give yourself an out to go to bed in that game,
- 1:55Speaker 5: this team didn't let you do it because they kept
- 1:57Speaker 5: giving you hope and belief that they could come back,
- 2:00Speaker 5: and you didn't want to miss something special.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been special for sure. So the
- 2:07Speaker 2: Brewers succumb in the third straight one-run game in the series.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Is that right? You are correct, sir.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Third straight game that the Padres get out to a
- 2:16Speaker 5: lead to as well. There hasn't been three straight one-run
- 2:20Speaker 5: games in the NLDS since 21, I believe, in MLB.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I think I read that.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Pretty amazing. All these games have been just absolute nail
- 2:31Speaker 5: biters all the way through.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Well, on the plus side of the loss, this wasn't
- 2:36Speaker 2: like there's nothing really to pick at. They played a
- 2:39Speaker 2: cleaner game than the game they won. That's for sure.
- 2:43Speaker 2: They hit some rockets. Jackson Merrill made some plays. The
- 2:46Speaker 2: first play of the game was a Chris Taylor flashback.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:49Speaker 3: And one of the, it provided us one of the
- 2:51Speaker 3: better Murph soundbites in his tenure as a manager of
- 2:55Speaker 3: the Milwaukee Brewers. When Tom Verducci was trying to do
- 2:57Speaker 3: an interview with him, was that the start of the
- 2:59Speaker 3: third inning?
- 2:59Speaker 1: That was the Sal one.
- 3:00Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:01Speaker 3: I mean the GD Merrill straight into the microphone and
- 3:05Speaker 3: then about 12 to 15 seconds of just sheer laughter
- 3:09Speaker 3: from the guys in the broadcast booth was, was pretty sweet.
- 3:12Speaker 3: But yeah, Yeah, Drew, you're right. I mean, they played
- 3:14Speaker 3: definitely a cleaner game defensively, even though technically it's an
- 3:19Speaker 3: error that bites you in the end and lets the
- 3:22Speaker 3: winning run end up crossing against you. They gave themselves
- 3:26Speaker 3: plenty of opportunities. It was just the one other thing
- 3:29Speaker 3: that's been consistent in this series. Road team leaves a
- 3:31Speaker 3: lot of guys on base. I don't know that that's
- 3:34Speaker 3: very different than most postseason games in most postseason series,
- 3:38Speaker 3: but the Padres leave a small village of 20 on
- 3:41Speaker 3: the base paths. Across the first two in Milwaukee, and
- 3:44Speaker 3: the Brewers raised double digits yesterday. Hit 11 in five
- 3:48Speaker 3: and two innings. And when you get somebody to third,
- 3:51Speaker 3: especially with less than two outs, and you don't get
- 3:55Speaker 3: them through, yikes.
- 3:56Speaker 2: That's where the games are won and lost, is those things.
- 4:00Speaker 2: So Walker Bueller starts tonight. And, well, serendipitous.
- 4:05Speaker 1: To have him back in.
- 4:06Speaker 2: He was on the mound the last time the Brewers
- 4:08Speaker 2: won a road playoff game, which is now their 0-12.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Yeah, that was at what game? He won game three.
- 4:14Speaker 1: He pitched in game three then. Game three.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Because that was the last time the Brewers won the
- 4:17Speaker 2: road playoff game. Game three of the NLCS.
- 4:19Speaker 3: I just think about him starting game seven of the NLCS.
- 4:21Speaker 3: So I like the fact that it could be on
- 4:24Speaker 3: the other side. The other part that is, I mean,
- 4:26Speaker 3: somewhat difficult to chew on and stew with is that
- 4:30Speaker 3: you ended up not being able to cash in when
- 4:33Speaker 3: apparently they.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Didn't have Mori Hone. I didn't know Mori Hone was
- 4:36Speaker 2: not going to be available after his two innings.
- 4:38Speaker 3: And then Miller, 45 minutes before, gets the greatest call
- 4:42Speaker 3: any man can get outside of probably when it's game
- 4:45Speaker 3: three of the playoffs.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Right.
- 4:47Speaker 5: I mean, the emotional turmoil inside. That must have been.
- 4:50Speaker 5: And listen, I love it. I mean, hey, you got
- 4:52Speaker 5: to be there. You got to make sure you're with
- 4:53Speaker 5: your family. It worked out well for us.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I think there were any moments there yesterday when he's like,
- 4:57Speaker 1: kid born yet? Kid born yet? Kid born yet? Kid
- 4:59Speaker 1: born yet? He said he was hoping it would come
- 5:02Speaker 1: when he was at home.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I thought it was in the morning.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought. But I was like, OK, you're at home.
- 5:07Speaker 5: So I didn't want to question him because it's an
- 5:09Speaker 5: important thing. But the more home thing was also interesting
- 5:11Speaker 5: because the paternity thing was like, I'm like rereading.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Like, is this real? Is this fake?
- 5:16Speaker 5: Is this a joke about Jackson Turio? Like, you know,
- 5:19Speaker 5: like the the paternity thing. But then the more home
- 5:21Speaker 5: it was shoulder stickiness. And that's what I of all
- 5:25Speaker 5: the injury descriptions we've heard. I had not heard stickiness before.
- 5:28Speaker 5: You've heard tightness. You've heard it pulled and grabbed.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Somebody likes the sticky too much and gets themselves injured.
- 5:34Speaker 1: We've dealt with that. Yeah.
- 5:36Speaker 5: But then you're like, okay, all of a sudden they're,
- 5:38Speaker 5: you know, they're big two guns that late in the
- 5:40Speaker 5: game are out.
- 5:41Speaker 1: You know, this is a big break for you. And
- 5:44Speaker 1: it would have been, I mean, if Michael King.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Didn't come in and, and take care of business, they, they,
- 5:49Speaker 5: you know, now Michael King was a guy that does
- 5:50Speaker 5: have saves on his ledger, but it's been a starter, but.
- 5:53Speaker 1: They had to use him in desperation.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Maybe that will pay off for the Brewers here down
- 5:57Speaker 5: the road in his last couple games. Hopefully, only the
- 6:00Speaker 5: last one, hopefully. But, yeah, that is a break for
- 6:03Speaker 5: the Brewers. Now, whether or not one or both will
- 6:05Speaker 5: be available, I don't know what the availability is tonight.
- 6:07Speaker 5: I don't think Miller's available.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Am I wrong? It said one to three games, so
- 6:12Speaker 1: I really wasn't. I bet he'll be available.
- 6:14Speaker 3: I was going to say, again, now as long as
- 6:16Speaker 3: everybody's happy, everybody's okay.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Luckily, they won and Michael King pitched okay, right?
- 6:20Speaker 1: Get yourself in there. Like Kirk Herbstreit said, what else
- 6:23Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you doing? Nothing. Nothing. He
- 6:27Speaker 1: only changed a couple of diapers. It's been one day in.
- 6:30Speaker 3: He can't feed, so might as well get yourself back
- 6:33Speaker 3: out there and throw a couple of fastballs. But, King,
- 6:35Speaker 3: it worked until it almost didn't. I mean, you had
- 6:38Speaker 3: plenty of traffic in that ninth inning. You get yourself
- 6:41Speaker 3: a rally, you don't win the game. It is disappointing, yeah.
- 6:44Speaker 3: The only thing that is lost last night is the
- 6:47Speaker 3: chance for 2026 free George Webb burgers. Cause they would
- 6:51Speaker 3: have had to win last night. They would have been
- 6:53Speaker 3: eight in a row. And then you sweep the Dodgers
- 6:56Speaker 3: or Braves in the NLCS. We would have gotten free
- 6:58Speaker 3: burgers going into world series. Not that there were certain
- 7:01Speaker 3: fat folks dreaming and already thinking in game planning that one.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Oh, I'm glad you're.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Certain individuals may have already been wondering when we were
- 7:08Speaker 3: going to get our free burgers.
- 7:09Speaker 1: So no longer, but that's fine.
- 7:11Speaker 2: And how about, how can you not love baseball? Because the, Padres,
- 7:17Speaker 2: for all the things that happened, Mason Miller, Tippin, Mason Miller,
- 7:21Speaker 2: Mason Miller, walk, walk, walk. Their LVP in game two
- 7:27Speaker 2: was Jay Cronenworth.
- 7:30Speaker 1: We talked about it.
- 7:30Speaker 2: He made the error that allowed the Brewers to have
- 7:32Speaker 2: a tying run. Some are accusing him of getting a
- 7:34Speaker 2: late break on Churrio's screamer up the middle. I don't
- 7:36Speaker 2: think that was bad. But he did have four fruitless at-bats,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I think two first pitch outs, and he saw seven
- 7:43Speaker 2: pitches and four He.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Had been one for 13 in the playoffs before that.
- 7:46Speaker 2: And then last night he hits a home run to
- 7:48Speaker 2: basically put them over the top and break a 2-2 tie.
- 7:51Speaker 2: That's baseball. That's redemption. That is like, hey, maybe I
- 7:55Speaker 2: don't suck. That happens every day, almost every inning in baseball.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Somebody does something. That goes against what they had been
- 8:02Speaker 2: doing previously.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Things change.
- 8:04Speaker 3: But again, you still didn't survive it. So, I mean,
- 8:07Speaker 3: whatever the Padres did is cool. You did throw the
- 8:10Speaker 3: game into the ground and have one more chance to
- 8:13Speaker 3: be able to survive it. So, like, if the Brewers
- 8:16Speaker 3: play their clean game, which has been their whole season-long game,
- 8:21Speaker 3: that would be nice to be able to bring to
- 8:22Speaker 3: the party. Because now you've played, potentially, your three.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Ugliest, sloppiest games defensively, consecutively.
- 8:30Speaker 1: All of all season. Yeah. And you're right, Billy. The
- 8:33Speaker 1: air was the one that did him in.
- 8:34Speaker 5: I didn't know if it was more Pratt or more Bauer.
- 8:37Speaker 5: I think Bauer should probably get that one.
- 8:40Speaker 2: It has to be on the throw, but it's a
- 8:42Speaker 2: play he's got to make. Somebody's got to get the air.
- 8:45Speaker 5: And it was a tough one because there's bats flying
- 8:48Speaker 5: through the runner, all that stuff.
- 8:50Speaker 1: You had to deal with all that. It's not an excuse.
- 8:53Speaker 1: It's just the reality. It was a tough play.
- 8:54Speaker 2: That ends up being a successful play, and the four
- 8:57Speaker 2: balls that the Brewers hit, 100-mile-an-hour exit velo into someone's glove.
- 9:01Speaker 2: That's hashtag baseball. I hit it in the middle of
- 9:04Speaker 2: the fairway, but then it hit a sprinkler head and
- 9:06Speaker 2: it kicked into the rough and I couldn't find it.
- 9:08Speaker 3: But you also throw a wild pitch to let the
- 9:10Speaker 3: sprinkler head get there to help you out.
- 9:13Speaker 1: It all cascades.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Everything's magnified. Everything's magnified. Even the ball that doesn't go
- 9:20Speaker 5: through works.
- 9:21Speaker 2: That chopper isn't hit as well as the screamers, but
- 9:24Speaker 2: that chopper got a run in, and the Brewers' four
- 9:26Speaker 2: screamers didn't.
- 9:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Yelich was at 107. I know Murph
- 9:32Speaker 5: talked about it off the bat, the double play, but
- 9:34Speaker 5: it was right at a fielder. That's the way it goes.
- 9:36Speaker 5: I mean, Rod Caruso's right at robbing you out. That's
- 9:39Speaker 5: why we won the pennant in 82. It is what
- 9:41Speaker 5: it is.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, and Billy, you're right. Unless you
- 9:44Speaker 1: can look in the mirror.
- 9:44Speaker 5: And say, well, we gave ourselves 100% of mistake-free chances
- 9:49Speaker 5: to put ourselves in the position to win.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Then we can call ourselves poor devils. But we didn't.
- 9:54Speaker 5: We did have the air. We did it, like you said.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Had those moments. So, hey, Pratt, sack, fly, dash, homeless.
- 10:00Speaker 5: a great brewer type moment you know being ready running
- 10:03Speaker 5: hard taking advantage of a kind of a minuscule type
- 10:06Speaker 5: error where Jackson Merrill doesn't catch the ball you would
- 10:08Speaker 5: have been in better positions the Padres that was a
- 10:10Speaker 5: great moment but then Cordenworth right back with the homers
- 10:13Speaker 5: so it's just the way that game three went and
- 10:15Speaker 5: you got to try and strap them up again for
- 10:18Speaker 5: four here and try and win it tonight.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. So, yeah, it's like there wasn't anything bullpen
- 10:23Speaker 2: malpractice or really, you know, it was this, but they
- 10:28Speaker 2: just lost the game, right?
- 10:29Speaker 1: I mean, it's just they lost the game. Somebody's going
- 10:32Speaker 1: to hold the sombrero.
- 10:33Speaker 3: You had two of them doing it yesterday in Bowers
- 10:35Speaker 3: and Mitchell, and listen, now you've got to find a
- 10:38Speaker 3: way to be able to win it today, and you
- 10:40Speaker 3: still are decently stacked up in the pen. I mean,
- 10:44Speaker 3: May was good, again, until he wasn't yesterday, but it
- 10:47Speaker 3: felt like he was all right. The shot that Cronenworth
- 10:50Speaker 3: hits at low and outside pitch, good spot, just great hit.
- 10:54Speaker 3: And Sensatella, it seems like, is going to get out
- 10:58Speaker 3: of that thing until you can't. So you still are
- 11:01Speaker 3: decently stacked up in the pen, too, today, that at
- 11:04Speaker 3: whatever point you get nervous, whatever point you want to
- 11:07Speaker 3: go and deploy somebody else, you're pretty well stacked up.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Absolutely. You're ready to go.
- 11:12Speaker 5: I mean, you have to look at the fact that
- 11:13Speaker 5: you have Gasser, the law firm of Gasser, Patrick, and
- 11:17Speaker 5: the rest of the crew there. If you want it,
- 11:19Speaker 5: we don't, you know, you think Gasser gets a big
- 11:22Speaker 5: chunk of the work.
- 11:23Speaker 1: You think everybody's going to be involved.
- 11:25Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:25Speaker 5: Your arms are generally rested enough to, to get going.
- 11:29Speaker 5: You should be in better shape going into this. You mentioned,
- 11:32Speaker 5: you know, Mitchell, you talk about kind of Cronenworth finally
- 11:34Speaker 5: popping off. He was struggling. Mitchell's been struggling. So you
- 11:37Speaker 5: kind of hope maybe he can have that type of, Hey,
- 11:39Speaker 5: you never know what's going to happen.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Things change quickly. Maybe he'll figure it out. Have a
- 11:43Speaker 1: big moment. William Contreras gave you the homer yesterday. He's
- 11:46Speaker 1: been good.
- 11:47Speaker 5: Um, Sure, I was over, but it felt like he
- 11:50Speaker 5: had a pretty decent over. I mean, he laced that
- 11:52Speaker 5: first ball. So you hit him on the sack fly.
- 11:56Speaker 1: So he got a sack fly.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Like Billy's talking about, get guys in from third.
- 11:59Speaker 3: You hit him on the screws most of the time.
- 12:01Speaker 3: As a ballsy send or a great and... Nice rookie
- 12:06Speaker 3: intestinal fortitude moment for Cooper Pratt. Anybody think he was going?
- 12:09Speaker 1: No way.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Definitely the left fielder didn't because you saw the little
- 12:13Speaker 3: double clutch and whoa.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Okay, sweet. And just enough hesitation to get him by.
- 12:18Speaker 5: And I think they thought they would have marijuana gun
- 12:19Speaker 5: and got that ball and tried to be the one
- 12:21Speaker 5: to make the throw.
- 12:22Speaker 1: So didn't happen.
- 12:24Speaker 5: One of these, you know, things you think about in
- 12:25Speaker 5: the back of your mind, you know, you had the Homer,
- 12:28Speaker 5: but the rest of your hits were singles, you know,
- 12:30Speaker 5: same old thing. Power plays in the playoffs, you know,
- 12:33Speaker 5: slugging plays in the playoffs, you You get so many hits,
- 12:35Speaker 5: and it's great.
- 12:36Speaker 1: You think you probably get a couple more that are
- 12:38Speaker 1: extra bases. You're probably scoring more runs.
- 12:41Speaker 2: You leave 11 guys on. 11 hits. That's a lot
- 12:46Speaker 2: of hits.
- 12:47Speaker 5: It was.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It was good. They were threatening all night, much like
- 12:50Speaker 1: the Padres were in Milwaukee, to your point, Billy. Yeah.
- 12:53Speaker 2: So, again, lace them up today. It didn't go your
- 12:57Speaker 2: way sometimes. That's just you don't win them all. Hashtag baseball. But, yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 2: there's nothing– It wasn't devastating. Even though it's a one-run loss,
- 13:07Speaker 2: it's frustrating, but it's not devastating.
- 13:09Speaker 5: That's it.
- 13:09Speaker 2: The Padres lost in game two.
- 13:11Speaker 1: That's devastating.
- 13:13Speaker 2: You had your guy out there, and you spit away
- 13:15Speaker 2: a lead. Brewers has never got over home. Not only
- 13:17Speaker 2: have all the games been decided by one run, but
- 13:21Speaker 2: at no point in the first three games of the
- 13:23Speaker 2: series has anybody led by more than two.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I don't think that's really changing. I don't think that's changing.
- 13:30Speaker 3: I think it's going to be tight. I think it's
- 13:31Speaker 3: going to be hot, and somebody's going to have to
- 13:33Speaker 3: be able to finish it off. Now, I'm scrolling through
- 13:36Speaker 3: as you should be as well. Hunter B on air
- 13:39Speaker 3: had some great audio. We're going to spin through a
- 13:40Speaker 3: bunch of it later on here today. They have not
- 13:44Speaker 3: confirmed that it's Robert Gasser started, correct?
- 13:46Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen it. No.
- 13:48Speaker 2: And Murph did not name a starter. So he said
- 13:50Speaker 2: he did say Gasser and Patrick. would be ready to go,
- 13:54Speaker 2: but he has not named a starter.
- 13:55Speaker 1: What are you thinking here, Billy?
- 13:57Speaker 3: Does Hunter have the videos in there of the audio
- 14:01Speaker 3: from yesterday?
- 14:02Speaker 1: He's got a bunch of it. I didn't see the video. Okay.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Well, there's a couple of individuals that spoke at the
- 14:07Speaker 3: podium yesterday. Obviously, manager Pat Murphy. Garrett Mitchell didn't work
- 14:11Speaker 3: very well. Hopefully, better luck today.
- 14:13Speaker 1: D.L. Hall got in the game yesterday. And, you know,
- 14:18Speaker 1: maybe your game four starter. Aaron Ashby. Hmm.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Would be their opportunity to get Aaron Ashby as one
- 14:26Speaker 3: start into the playoffs. You got to be able to
- 14:28Speaker 3: check the quota yearly to be able to get him one.
- 14:32Speaker 3: It might be your perfect chance and then hand it
- 14:34Speaker 3: off to Robert Gasser or Chad Patrick. We just didn't
- 14:36Speaker 3: want to put them into that Hornets. For a little opener.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Facing Tatis right out of the gate. Merrill or Hinton second.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Come on now. We couldn't put those guys in that situation.
- 14:45Speaker 3: We're going to get Ashby in there.
- 14:46Speaker 5: You know what's nice is DL has done a nice
- 14:48Speaker 5: job as a lefty and you have his ability if
- 14:50Speaker 5: you need a lefty later. So if you want to
- 14:53Speaker 5: use Ashby right away and not worry about, hey, should
- 14:55Speaker 5: we save a lefty? Make this guy your opener? I
- 14:58Speaker 5: kind of like that, Billy. Yeah, you kind of expect
- 15:00Speaker 5: the unexpected, right, when it comes to the Brewers in
- 15:02Speaker 5: the playoffs? Will they come up with something like that here?
- 15:04Speaker 5: Will they have a different mix of pitchers? It'll be
- 15:06Speaker 5: interesting to see.
- 15:07Speaker 2: One streak that started in 2018 ended last night.
- 15:12Speaker 1: That was good to see. Yes, 87 attempts.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Christian Yelich drove in a run.
- 15:16Speaker 1: That was cathartic.
- 15:17Speaker 2: In the postseason.
- 15:17Speaker 5: It was a nice pill. It was down there for him,
- 15:20Speaker 5: but it was 100 miles an hour, so it was cathartic.
- 15:22Speaker 5: He got good wood all night. I mean, he really did.
- 15:24Speaker 5: He's been making good contact here in the playoffs, which
- 15:28Speaker 5: is a good sign. Maybe he can get more chances here. Unfortunately,
- 15:33Speaker 5: that was another chance at a big moment there in
- 15:35Speaker 5: the ninth. Obviously, he had a good swing on it.
- 15:39Speaker 5: He got contact, but Right to him. But at least
- 15:41Speaker 5: the streak was snapped. Now people can stop talking about it. Yeah.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Well, we contributed to that. It was a talking point.
- 15:48Speaker 2: It was noteworthy.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Yeah. Now you got to, now you got to beat
- 15:51Speaker 1: the important one.
- 15:52Speaker 2: As, as adroitly pointed out by the captain of the brewers,
- 15:55Speaker 2: like people say, well, they haven't won a post season
- 15:58Speaker 2: road game since 2018. He's like, there's only one guy
- 16:01Speaker 2: here who was here in 2018. And he's the guy.
- 16:05Speaker 2: So he's like, what does that matter? And he's right.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Like what is, What did Sal Freelick have to do
- 16:10Speaker 2: with that stat or anybody else or Uribe? They weren't there.
- 16:15Speaker 2: It's frustrating for the fan base, for sure.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Yeah. They were there in 21. Most of them were
- 16:21Speaker 3: there in 23, 24, and 25. So, I mean, there's
- 16:23Speaker 3: definitely some guys that were there contributing to it. But
- 16:26Speaker 3: I get the line of demarcation.
- 16:28Speaker 1: In that day.
- 16:29Speaker 2: But there were years when they didn't play a road
- 16:30Speaker 2: game in the playoffs.
- 16:31Speaker 1: That's true.
- 16:31Speaker 2: In that stretch, right?
- 16:33Speaker 1: Sure, yeah. So, yeah. Well, then, I mean, they've lost what?
- 16:36Speaker 1: So then 21 would have been the other time. They
- 16:38Speaker 1: lost one game in 19. Yeah. So that was it. Yeah.
- 16:42Speaker 1: So then there's a. There are guys there.
- 16:44Speaker 2: An important game in 19 as it turned out. More
- 16:47Speaker 2: important than last night.
- 16:49Speaker 1: But yes.
- 16:50Speaker 2: It's clean slate today. Put the champagne. And then you
- 16:54Speaker 2: got game five in your pocket. If you need it,
- 16:55Speaker 2: you hope.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Still hanging out there.
- 16:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:57Speaker 2: You hope you don't. And that's what makes coming back
- 17:00Speaker 2: in a taught, closely contested series like this so hard.
- 17:03Speaker 5: So.
- 17:03Speaker 2: I still like the Brewers' chances, folks. I like their
- 17:05Speaker 2: chances tonight, as a matter of fact, even though we.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Don't know who's starting. Steph Furry picked them to win
- 17:10Speaker 1: in four.
- 17:11Speaker 3: Now, if you are unfamiliar with Steph Furry's game, otherwise
- 17:14Speaker 3: known as Eric Orgy online, Eric got ridiculous popularity and
- 17:20Speaker 3: got brought to the NBA Finals by the San Antonio
- 17:23Speaker 3: Spurs this year. I believe 500,000 followers on TikTok.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Oh, my. 1.2 million followers on YouTube.
- 17:30Speaker 5: I hope he's got two-factor authentication with those follower numbers.
- 17:33Speaker 5: But if he's got that type of pull and he's
- 17:35Speaker 5: got that type of accuracy, Billy.
- 17:36Speaker 1: But. I mean, I like this. Then I like it.
- 17:39Speaker 1: I'm taking it.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Corgi hit that bad boy in there two games in
- 17:41Speaker 3: a row. Won the first two at home. did predict
- 17:45Speaker 3: that the Padres would get game three, but air core,
- 17:47Speaker 3: you predicted the pet, the brewers would win here tonight.
- 17:49Speaker 3: So I listen, I hit percentage is pretty damn good
- 17:52Speaker 3: already for the NFL and he goes against the spread too.
- 17:55Speaker 3: So I'd watch out when people are doubting stuff for you. No,
- 17:59Speaker 3: and I've always loved that breed. So let's, let's make it.
- 18:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:01Speaker 2: That's because you're a fan of the Royal family.
- 18:03Speaker 1: I'm a fan of anyone that says we're going to
- 18:05Speaker 1: win tonight. Let's put it that way.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Put it that way. That's that's simpler.
- 18:08Speaker 1: All right.
- 18:08Speaker 2: When we come back, Hunter's got a lot of stuff
- 18:10Speaker 2: for us and he'll join us. We'll wake him up
- 18:13Speaker 2: after the, Yeah, 7 o'clock. I will let him sleep
- 18:15Speaker 2: in as long as possible. I was wondering if we
- 18:17Speaker 2: were going to.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Wake him up. He was all over with me.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I got his hotel number, so I gave him a
- 18:22Speaker 2: call on my way in, too. Going to also spin
- 18:25Speaker 2: through some hot takes today. Hot take hump day is
- 18:28Speaker 2: upon us. Again, 877-794-1973. Get yourself a comfortable chair, a
- 18:33Speaker 2: cold or a hot beverage of your choice. Settle in
- 18:36Speaker 2: for the Wednesday edition of the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:40Speaker 4: We've hit four or five balls. over a hundred that
- 18:43Speaker 4: were caught. But we also punched out in big situations.
- 18:48Speaker 4: We had bases loaded. We had other big situations that
- 18:51Speaker 4: we didn't come through. So that's part of baseball. When
- 18:53Speaker 4: you're facing a good team with good pitching staff, you know,
- 18:58Speaker 4: it's part of it.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Brewer skipper, Pat Murphy, bringing us back after the Padres
- 19:05Speaker 2: prevail four, three last evening at Petco park. What'd you
- 19:08Speaker 2: guys think of the atmosphere that it came through the television?
- 19:12Speaker 1: It was good. It was fun. It sounded raucous. It
- 19:14Speaker 1: sounded like a good time.
- 19:15Speaker 3: I mean, for the folks that are just really getting
- 19:21Speaker 3: after it about the standing thing, I saw plenty of
- 19:24Speaker 3: people sitting down at certain times during the game. I
- 19:27Speaker 3: don't know that they stood for three hours of hell.
- 19:29Speaker 3: I don't know that it was the student section, but
- 19:32Speaker 3: it was loud.
- 19:32Speaker 1: It was fun. That was for sure. I'm with you, Billy.
- 19:35Speaker 5: I mean, there's a little bit of like, I don't
- 19:37Speaker 5: know what the right term is, but Yeah, everyone wants
- 19:40Speaker 5: to emphasize the standing versus sitting there thing, and I
- 19:43Speaker 5: think it's more about how much noise you make. Yeah,
- 19:45Speaker 5: it was really good, but I think it was really
- 19:47Speaker 5: good Milwaukee was one of those things that it's hard
- 19:49Speaker 5: to win in San Diego.
- 19:51Speaker 1: It always is. They have a good crowd. They get
- 19:53Speaker 1: up for big moments and big rallies, just like we
- 19:55Speaker 1: did here at home.
- 19:57Speaker 5: They were, they were having a good time, you know,
- 19:59Speaker 5: obviously it's their first playoff game here in this. So
- 20:01Speaker 5: it's like in this series. So it was pretty good.
- 20:04Speaker 5: I'm not going to sit here and And say, like,
- 20:06Speaker 5: Milwaukee's was so much worse. I know some people, like
- 20:09Speaker 5: you said, Billy, want to emphasize the standing versus sitting thing.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Well, but let me expound upon it because I do
- 20:14Speaker 3: believe there was a noticeable difference between, like, innings four
- 20:18Speaker 3: through seven when Milwaukee batter has two strikes on him, Drew.
- 20:24Speaker 3: You hear the energy getting rolling or almost like watching
- 20:29Speaker 3: the Venezuelan team.
- 20:31Speaker 1: And remember during the World.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Baseball Classic, all I asked for was, where is our puncher? Somebody,
- 20:36Speaker 3: you need to find something that you can yell at
- 20:38Speaker 3: the opponent when there's two strikes because that Venezuelan environment
- 20:42Speaker 3: down there, Miami was on real in the U S
- 20:45Speaker 3: was rattled by it. And that was for consistent time.
- 20:49Speaker 3: You could tell like every time I hit two strikes, sweet,
- 20:52Speaker 3: let's get rolling. That energy was nice to be able
- 20:55Speaker 3: to feel. That we need to carry over.
- 20:57Speaker 1: Consistent energy.
- 20:59Speaker 5: It's almost like people are looking for that soccer crowd type,
- 21:01Speaker 5: international consistent energy.
- 21:03Speaker 1: I get it. I think they're a little less nervous
- 21:06Speaker 1: than we are.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Not really consistent energy. I'm talking about just on two strikes.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Like when it gets to a moment when you can
- 21:11Speaker 3: get it out. That doesn't mean that you have to
- 21:12Speaker 3: have the Vuvuzela blowing throughout the entire game.
- 21:15Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean, it's like you're giving the non-nervous energy.
- 21:20Speaker 5: People always talk about how they feel the Brewers fans
- 21:22Speaker 5: being nervous. And I think that there's some of that
- 21:25Speaker 5: and maybe there wasn't as much Padres fans aren't as
- 21:27Speaker 5: weren't as anxious maybe and giving you the yeah, the
- 21:31Speaker 5: mid the mid inning bursts that you get. So it
- 21:35Speaker 5: was good. It's always a good atmosphere there. A lot
- 21:38Speaker 5: of people that have, you know, either retired and already
- 21:41Speaker 5: and already don't have worries in their life. So they
- 21:44Speaker 5: things are taken care of now. They're just living in
- 21:47Speaker 5: California having a great time going to the game less nervous.
- 21:50Speaker 5: It's it's just a different energy. I think out there Um,
- 21:54Speaker 5: you have to give them credit. It's always hard to
- 21:56Speaker 5: win there. We've had our troubles and that's probably the
- 21:58Speaker 5: thing that gives me the most consternation going into game four.
- 22:01Speaker 1: It's like, you have to believe you can beat there,
- 22:03Speaker 1: beat them there before you. And I'm sure they do
- 22:05Speaker 1: see it.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Brewers do.
- 22:06Speaker 1: It's a fan.
- 22:07Speaker 5: You have to see it happen before you really, it's like,
- 22:10Speaker 5: all right, well, you still haven't done it.
- 22:11Speaker 2: So it's like, so are you in the camp that,
- 22:13Speaker 2: you know, fan rooting has an impact Armin?
- 22:16Speaker 5: I've always, I've always been, I've always, I know you,
- 22:20Speaker 5: I've always believed you can impact the game from the
- 22:23Speaker 5: stands always, but not from my seat at home.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:26Speaker 5: But like from the stands, I absolutely believe you can
- 22:28Speaker 5: give energy to your team and it's there.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Hunter Baumgart is our boots on the ground. He's our dude.
- 22:35Speaker 2: He's going to join us in a couple hours. We're
- 22:36Speaker 2: going to let him sleep in a little bit. Cause
- 22:37Speaker 2: he was up late, you know, providing reports for us.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Let's hear it.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Take it away.
- 22:42Speaker 5: Hunter.
- 22:43Speaker 8: The Brewers fall in game three of the NLDS by
- 22:45Speaker 8: a final score of 4-3 here in San Diego. I'm
- 22:47Speaker 8: Hunter Baumgart for Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. The Brewers had
- 22:50Speaker 8: their opportunities. They've now left 27 runners on base in
- 22:53Speaker 8: the series, including the ninth inning when Christian Yelich hit
- 22:56Speaker 8: a 107-mile-an-hour line drive. That was gobbled up by Xander Bogarts,
- 23:00Speaker 8: turned into a double play that ended the game. Yelich
- 23:02Speaker 8: was visibly frustrated about it after the game.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Step to the right or left.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Pretty good. Hit it hard.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Just happened to be right at him. It's unfortunate, you know,
- 23:16Speaker 1: part of the game.
- 23:16Speaker 5: That's how it goes sometimes.
- 23:20Speaker 7: Keep out. Not much else he can do.
- 23:22Speaker 1: It's frustrating. It doesn't really bounce your way, but it's
- 23:24Speaker 1: how it goes.
- 23:25Speaker 8: And you can't blame him, right? Had a chance to
- 23:27Speaker 8: tie or have the Brewers take the lead in that instance. Now,
- 23:30Speaker 8: back in the sixth inning, Cooper Pratt with a throwing
- 23:32Speaker 8: error that allowed the eventual winning run to score. Here's
- 23:36Speaker 8: what Pratt said after the game. He wasn't making any
- 23:37Speaker 8: excuses for it.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I mean, you can make excuses about everything.
- 23:41Speaker 6: I feel that the ball threw the ball in the
- 23:44Speaker 6: dirt and cost us a lot.
- 23:47Speaker 8: Brewers defense that has been so good all season long,
- 23:49Speaker 8: been a little shaky in these first three games. So
- 23:51Speaker 8: they turn to game four. Brewers manager Pat Murphy has
- 23:54Speaker 8: not named a starter yet, so we'll see. It'll be
- 23:56Speaker 8: a late night game again. Nine o'clock first pitch here
- 23:59Speaker 8: in San Diego. It'll be seven o'clock local time. Brewers
- 24:03Speaker 8: going for the series win, trying to advance to their
- 24:05Speaker 8: second straight NLCS. We'll see if it happens in San Diego.
- 24:07Speaker 8: This report brought to you by Community Roofing. I'm Hunter
- 24:10Speaker 8: Baumgart for Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 24:12Speaker 2: All right, Hunter. Talk to you in about two hours.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Nice Petco backdrop there.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Making another run at being our current electric superhero of
- 24:19Speaker 2: the day with these reports. I was going to say,
- 24:21Speaker 2: it's going to be hard to top there. Yamamoto would be.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Hard to beat for it as well there for the
- 24:28Speaker 3: Dodgers last night. That was pretty impressive. But you do
- 24:32Speaker 3: start seeing, I mean, Yellich obviously in the middle of
- 24:35Speaker 3: the rally. Contreras, I mean, they haven't had much of
- 24:38Speaker 3: an answer for him and definitely didn't last night. Drew,
- 24:41Speaker 3: it is when coming into the year, it is funny.
- 24:45Speaker 3: through the last like six and a half, six weeks,
- 24:48Speaker 3: eight weeks, I don't know, last three months, it was
- 24:51Speaker 3: pretty clear that the Brewers were going to the playoffs.
- 24:53Speaker 3: So like at some point, every conversation did turn to, yeah,
- 24:57Speaker 3: but what are you going to do in October? For
- 24:59Speaker 3: Yelich specifically, him being.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Able to perform in the postseason is nice to be
- 25:04Speaker 2: able to see as somebody that I think a lot
- 25:06Speaker 2: of us kind of defended that thought and thought, hey,
- 25:09Speaker 2: at some point he's going to have to perform.
- 25:11Speaker 3: At some point it's going to lay in. He's had
- 25:13Speaker 3: a nice little run here. He's gotten your first hit.
- 25:14Speaker 3: in each of the first three games, but damn William Contreras,
- 25:18Speaker 3: every single time these, these games pop up, make you
- 25:22Speaker 3: wonder if he's the next guy that you try to
- 25:23Speaker 3: find some kind of money for, because the big moment
- 25:26Speaker 3: that bat, those are electric. That's an electric combination.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
- 25:31Speaker 5: And, and bringing the swag as well. I think bringing energy,
- 25:34Speaker 5: a little confidence got to have that, but you know,
- 25:36Speaker 5: talk about that.
- 25:37Speaker 1: The playoff players, right?
- 25:38Speaker 5: Billy always trying to find the, who the playoff players are,
- 25:41Speaker 5: if it's real or not, Trey's would be one absolutely
- 25:43Speaker 5: coming up big, no question. And, You know, the extra
- 25:45Speaker 5: base hit last night. You know, you'd love to see
- 25:48Speaker 5: some more of that. Anyone that can provide power right now,
- 25:50Speaker 5: and he's the one. And he's also taking his time
- 25:52Speaker 5: around the bases, you know, like that. I wonder if
- 25:55Speaker 5: that's going to happen.
- 25:55Speaker 1: He sped it up a little bit last night. He
- 25:58Speaker 1: sped it up a little bit last night.
- 26:00Speaker 2: I mean, it was a 30-second trip.
- 26:02Speaker 5: A couple little moments he gave a couple of these.
- 26:04Speaker 5: But the thing is, I like that, you know, he's
- 26:07Speaker 5: trying to gas up his dugout. After the walk, he's
- 26:09Speaker 5: clapping at the dugout. Like, you need a little bit
- 26:11Speaker 5: of energy on the road.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I think it's good that he's providing it. He's been huge.
- 26:15Speaker 1: There's no question.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Right.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Vince said one final Wednesday at the club, by the way.
- 26:20Speaker 1: It's been a great run.
- 26:20Speaker 5: Yes.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Thank you, Vince.
- 26:21Speaker 2: That's true.
- 26:22Speaker 1: That is true. You can join us in the afternoon.
- 26:24Speaker 2: If you missed the memo that came out earlier this week,
- 26:27Speaker 2: we'll move the show next week, 2 to 5 p.m.
- 26:31Speaker 2: That's right, 2 to 5 p.m.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Wanted to get 920's text in.
- 26:36Speaker 5: He said, and I was thinking about it. I guess
- 26:39Speaker 5: I didn't hear too many people complaining about the decision,
- 26:41Speaker 5: but he said, I would have started Chad Patrick over
- 26:43Speaker 5: May and had him come in as a relief.
- 26:45Speaker 2: May was doing reliable.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Should have been.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Yeah, he gave up a couple.
- 26:48Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you know, you kind of thought, like,
- 26:51Speaker 5: who are your reliable starters right now? And I guess
- 26:53Speaker 5: it's the playoffs, so you don't think about starters, relievers
- 26:56Speaker 5: in a traditional sense, maybe. But you had to think
- 26:59Speaker 5: with May's And I get it, the sample size, whatever,
- 27:02Speaker 5: and maybe it's not as accurate. But his history against
- 27:04Speaker 5: San Diego, the success, he was going to get a
- 27:06Speaker 5: shot here somewhere.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Maybe not game three, but maybe game four. I'm not
- 27:09Speaker 1: really sure, so. I don't know. He didn't lose them
- 27:12Speaker 1: the game.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Like, I mean, as, as a low of a bar
- 27:14Speaker 3: as that might be to be to clear, but like he,
- 27:17Speaker 3: I thought he, I thought he was all right. He
- 27:19Speaker 3: wasn't again, good until he wasn't until their best three
- 27:22Speaker 3: guys strung three good at bats and hits against them.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Like at some point the dam would break and.
- 27:28Speaker 3: You know, Merrill Machado got the two after Tatis grounds
- 27:32Speaker 3: out the one when they manufacture the run. They manufactured
- 27:35Speaker 3: the runs last night too, right? Stolen bases. Their first
- 27:37Speaker 3: run was on stolen bases. Merrill steals a base.
- 27:40Speaker 1: And comes around.
- 27:41Speaker 3: I was wondering when the Brewers were going to try
- 27:43Speaker 3: and get active on the base paths. If there would
- 27:46Speaker 3: be more of a second guess I would have from
- 27:49Speaker 3: last night, Drew, that would be the one. Especially how
- 27:53Speaker 3: much we glazed and talked about how big... the stolen
- 27:56Speaker 3: base was the other night by yellow, huge to be
- 27:58Speaker 3: able to get that rally going. I, when he got on,
- 28:01Speaker 3: I definitely thought he was going in front of Mitchell
- 28:04Speaker 3: instead didn't. And you know, they ended up getting two
- 28:07Speaker 3: bases and a run. They also throw themselves out of one.
- 28:10Speaker 3: So you don't know where it's going to be a
- 28:12Speaker 3: given take, but I didn't think may was a problem
- 28:14Speaker 3: last night. I thought it was more interesting when they
- 28:17Speaker 3: talked about may on the broadcast and him getting the start,
- 28:20Speaker 3: they pan the camera to Kyle Harrison, because that is where,
- 28:25Speaker 3: as much as Murph mentioned, we went out and got
- 28:28Speaker 3: may to, for this, they traded for may to be
- 28:32Speaker 3: a playoff starter. At some point they were going to
- 28:33Speaker 3: have to throw them out there. The only reason he
- 28:35Speaker 3: did that was because Kyle Harrison slid down the back
- 28:37Speaker 3: of the dinosaur.
- 28:37Speaker 1: That's it.
- 28:38Speaker 5: This would have been his spot. I mean, in theory,
- 28:40Speaker 5: because he had been so good in the first half
- 28:42Speaker 5: of the year. So he would have got his spot
- 28:44Speaker 5: somewhere and the inability of him to figure it out again,
- 28:46Speaker 5: that's kind of what puts you in this position, I guess.
- 28:49Speaker 5: And then, you know, you could go deeper and deeper
- 28:51Speaker 5: in this. And, you know, if they get Scooble, if
- 28:53Speaker 5: they don't.
- 28:54Speaker 2: You like a lefty. That's why I think Gasser gets
- 28:56Speaker 2: the start today. Just change it up, right?
- 28:58Speaker 1: Yeah, or Ashby, like you mentioned, Billy. That's Billy's pick. Yeah. Yeah,
- 29:02Speaker 1: my bet is Aaron Ashby.
- 29:04Speaker 3: I like Ashby in the leverage inning, so. He's good there, too.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Trust me, there's no argument here. This is the judge
- 29:12Speaker 3: actions instead of words.
- 29:13Speaker 2: With the way Bobby was pitching, throw him out there,
- 29:15Speaker 2: see how he does. You know, and you got backups.
- 29:18Speaker 1: I believe in all these guys' ability to get outs.
- 29:20Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 29:21Speaker 1: It's just, even you're right. I think you're.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Thinking now, and I know it rankles the old school people,
- 29:28Speaker 2: but you're thinking it's almost like you start a game
- 29:30Speaker 2: and get us once through the order.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Well, and that's where I thought May was
- 29:34Speaker 1: going last night. right?
- 29:35Speaker 3: And if he would have been able to get out
- 29:38Speaker 3: of it with Merrill, it's a clean break, right? Like,
- 29:42Speaker 3: they get the ground ball, innings over, that's fine. That's where,
- 29:45Speaker 3: you know, they had the infield in with one out, Drew,
- 29:48Speaker 3: and the balls just hit off to the side of
- 29:50Speaker 3: Ortiz or Pratt at short. I thought it almost favored
- 29:53Speaker 3: the Brewers because I didn't think they were going to
- 29:55Speaker 3: get them at the plate even if it was right
- 29:57Speaker 3: at them. And that's one where if you keep a
- 29:59Speaker 3: guy on base and don't get a single out, that's
- 30:02Speaker 3: where that place really tips over against you. That's where
- 30:05Speaker 3: innings snowball. Yeah, you know, so in that moment, you
- 30:09Speaker 3: get Merrill out. I think no harm, no foul. You're
- 30:11Speaker 3: probably handing it off to the bullpen just like you
- 30:12Speaker 3: did with Romero at that point.
- 30:13Speaker 1: But who knows?
- 30:15Speaker 5: We can get a couple quick ones on YouTube if
- 30:16Speaker 5: you want. John K., John Curzau, a tough one last night. Strand,
- 30:19Speaker 5: too many runners. Got to break the road losing streak tonight.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed. Hard to argue with that. Interesting one from
- 30:25Speaker 1: Andrew Fritch here.
- 30:26Speaker 5: At some point, Bryce Trang's inability to hit in the
- 30:28Speaker 5: postseason has to put him on the bench. 114 and 25,
- 30:31Speaker 5: 091 and 26. And also Kambauer not swinging any pitch
- 30:34Speaker 5: in the inner half. Yeah, he's struggling, but I'm sorry, brother.
- 30:37Speaker 1: He ain't going on the bench.
- 30:38Speaker 3: I mean, that's... No, the two strikeouts looking, yeah, definitely
- 30:42Speaker 3: disappointing there.
- 30:43Speaker 1: But the... The 091, was that the number for last year?
- 30:47Speaker 5: That's for this year. And he had one, well, he
- 30:49Speaker 5: said 114 and 25. I've cross-checked it, but he said.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Well, the 114 might have, would have included the Homer
- 30:55Speaker 2: against the Cubs in game five.
- 30:56Speaker 1: So that was a big one. You have to consider that.
- 30:58Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's definitely in the, he would maybe
- 31:01Speaker 3: be more of the poor devil category than the other
- 31:03Speaker 3: guys last night, but his one hit comes on.
- 31:06Speaker 1: A missed diving play.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Like, yeah, he's, he's definitely been the, I think he's
- 31:12Speaker 3: been potentially their streakiest guy all year long.
- 31:15Speaker 1: That's a good way to look at it.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 31:16Speaker 1: I think him and Garrett have been kind of, well, I.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Feel like we've talked about Bryce terrain multiple times throughout
- 31:22Speaker 3: the year, mayor of slump city, and then all of
- 31:24Speaker 3: a sudden hitting four 10 for a week and a
- 31:26Speaker 3: half run.
- 31:27Speaker 5: So all you can hope for is that slump turns
- 31:29Speaker 5: around and becomes that streak starting tonight. But I just
- 31:31Speaker 5: don't think you're not going to sit him.
- 31:32Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is.
- 31:33Speaker 5: These are your guys. These are your guys. You're going
- 31:36Speaker 5: to fill out the lineup card and bring them in there.
- 31:37Speaker 5: You might have choices here or there, but who's going
- 31:39Speaker 5: to play sec.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Who's good. What are you going to do? You're going
- 31:43Speaker 1: to get them out there and hope he turns it around.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Right.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. Our boy Ryan in Muskego. Ryan, amen.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Guys, do they play day games in San Diego? God forbid.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Major League Baseball pushed the East Coast start time to
- 31:59Speaker 3: 4 p.m. and the West Coast start time to 7 o'clock,
- 32:01Speaker 3: 5 o'clock San Diego time so people in Milwaukee could
- 32:04Speaker 3: actually watch their team play. Two nights in a row
- 32:07Speaker 3: I can't watch it because I'm a part of the
- 32:09Speaker 3: Three o'clock club.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Ryan, that's real hustle. Oh, that's hustle. Figure it out, MLB. Yeah, Ryan,
- 32:14Speaker 1: I am.
- 32:16Speaker 3: I had a number of different moments yesterday.
- 32:18Speaker 1: I said, Rob Manfred, I get this pitch clock thing
- 32:21Speaker 1: is really good.
- 32:22Speaker 3: I'm really, really satisfied with the extra inning rule in
- 32:27Speaker 3: the regular season. Also love that it's gone in the postseason.
- 32:30Speaker 3: I think Rob Manfred's done a phenomenal job.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 32:33Speaker 2: This 8.30, then 9 o'clock first pitch, son of a gun.
- 32:38Speaker 3: That is one where it'll be a demerit towards Bobby Manfred.
- 32:43Speaker 3: I'll put that one on his permanent record. I'm with you.
- 32:46Speaker 3: I'm with you, Ryan.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Come on.
- 32:47Speaker 5: Yeah, Billy, we were texting yesterday back and forth, the
- 32:50Speaker 5: three of us, about.
- 32:52Speaker 1: how much of a struggle it was.
- 32:54Speaker 3: It's 3.40 in the afternoon, and I'm like, how on
- 32:56Speaker 3: earth is this game not starting for another four or
- 32:58Speaker 3: five hours?
- 32:59Speaker 1: I'm five hours away. And then they're like, oh, you
- 33:02Speaker 1: like that? We're going to make it even a half
- 33:04Speaker 1: hour or so.
- 33:04Speaker 3: And like, yes, it was the start time, but it
- 33:07Speaker 3: was also like, I mean, we do this all year long,
- 33:10Speaker 3: but the day game, then no game, then late night game.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Like, what the hell am I doing with myself?
- 33:16Speaker 2: Also, that Sunday was so draining watching that.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Oh, God, yes.
- 33:20Speaker 5: There's just that big blank spot of time, and it's like,
- 33:23Speaker 5: I get it.
- 33:24Speaker 1: What, Friends reruns? Like, what's going on?
- 33:26Speaker 2: And these games are inherently longer, too.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Because it's like.
- 33:30Speaker 2: It's 40 minutes longer than the average regular season.
- 33:33Speaker 3: They cream in an extra spot. Yeah, I think they're
- 33:36Speaker 3: going to say they get they get one extra spot
- 33:38Speaker 3: per break. So that that tax is smart.
- 33:41Speaker 1: And I know.
- 33:42Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 33:42Speaker 5: So there's always some right that there's always some business
- 33:44Speaker 5: reason for it. But it's like and then the extra
- 33:46Speaker 5: half hour tonight. It's like, what are you doing?
- 33:49Speaker 1: What's what?
- 33:49Speaker 3: Why the extra half hour to make it even that
- 33:51Speaker 3: much worse? So we can hear more a cheater in
- 33:53Speaker 3: a rod because they have. No, the good thing is
- 33:56Speaker 3: they'll put you to sleep if you weren't tired already. No,
- 33:58Speaker 3: at least today. But at least today there's games on
- 34:01Speaker 3: all day. Today I can at least stomach it because
- 34:04Speaker 3: you have four games on.
- 34:06Speaker 6: Correct.
- 34:06Speaker 3: When we only got two games, it's like in the
- 34:08Speaker 3: NCAA tournament when on the fourth day. They play one
- 34:13Speaker 3: game at 11 o'clock, and they play five games at
- 34:17Speaker 3: 8 on Sunday night.
- 34:18Speaker 2: What are we doing? 3, 5, 7, and 9 for
- 34:20Speaker 2: your viewing pleasure.
- 34:21Speaker 1: There we go. Okay, good. Getting nice days of work in.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Go down to the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. Get your four-piecer. Win it.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Come down by us tomorrow.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Speaking of Pottawatomie, we will be there tomorrow for the
- 34:30Speaker 2: Thursday night huddle. And all Thursdays moving forward that the
- 34:34Speaker 2: Packers don't play or it's not a major holiday. So
- 34:36Speaker 2: Thursday night huddle, Pottawatomie Sportsbook in the annex. Come and
- 34:39Speaker 2: see us. We'll be there between 5 and 7 o'clock.
- 34:42Speaker 2: this Thursday, as always. Would have been nice to have
- 34:44Speaker 2: that four-game slate to lead into that, but, you know, it's.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Still going to be good.
- 34:49Speaker 2: You know, we hope.
- 34:52Speaker 1: We hope. Yeah, you're right. We hope.
- 34:55Speaker 2: If one of the American League series gets extended, they'll
- 34:58Speaker 2: have games. Otherwise, we'll only have Thursday Night Football. Steven Vogt,
- 35:02Speaker 2: wake those boys up. Let's get it. Hunter's got more
- 35:07Speaker 2: interviews and reaction for us. Brewers lose. They miss a
- 35:09Speaker 2: chance to close it out. They get another tonight. We're
- 35:12Speaker 2: going to talk Bears-Packers as we move forward as well.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Hunter joins us at 725. You are in the huddle,
- 35:18Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 35:21Speaker 6: I think Ash said earlier, it's like 40 of us
- 35:24Speaker 6: versus 50,000. But it's fun, man. It's fun to play
- 35:29Speaker 6: like this, and this is what we play for. We
- 35:30Speaker 6: play for times like this. We just got to go
- 35:33Speaker 6: out there and trust each other, trust in ourselves, and
- 35:36Speaker 6: keep playing winning baseball when things work out.

- 36:35Speaker 2: Billy's already surfing around, circling his deals.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Well, I'm eyeing up, Drew, this sauna deal. Because I
- 36:42Speaker 3: don't know if you've been seeing all the cool influencers
- 36:45Speaker 3: have these saunas in there. Because it went from the
- 36:48Speaker 3: cold plunge to the sauna. For like three weeks, the
- 36:52Speaker 3: cool thing was I do ice baths in the morning.
- 36:55Speaker 1: And now people are putting them in their house, right?
- 36:57Speaker 1: The saunas and stuff. Oh, yeah.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Now people are having, well, you want to have a

- 37:31Speaker 1: Then you know you're about that. This thing looks like
- 37:32Speaker 1: a country club. So I don't know.
- 37:34Speaker 3: I'm debating how to get into the sauna business. And Drew,
- 37:40Speaker 3: the biggest one is I love the sauna.
- 37:43Speaker 6: Yes.
- 37:43Speaker 1: I don't like going to the sauna at the gym.
- 37:47Speaker 5: You don't like going out there and having a sweat
- 37:48Speaker 5: with people you don't know?
- 37:49Speaker 1: Is that what you.
- 37:50Speaker 3: It's not that you don't know people. It's that you
- 37:53Speaker 3: get to know people. Far too well.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Far too well. Far too quickly. That is a place
- 38:00Speaker 1: that should be... Locked up.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Yeah, or what you should do is make it a
- 38:04Speaker 5: revenue opportunity. Have it in your house, then rent out
- 38:07Speaker 5: time for people to come and take a sweat.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Look at you, small business right there.
- 38:14Speaker 1: See, but I'm too close to an elementary school. I
- 38:16Speaker 1: think there might be things that I'd have to clear.
- 38:17Speaker 5: Probably a good idea, William. BidOnMilwaukeeAuction.com, by the way, is
- 38:21Speaker 5: the site. It starts a week from today, 6 a.m. Actually,
- 38:24Speaker 5: a week from about now, literally, in 10 minutes. 6 a.m. Wednesday,
- 38:29Speaker 5: October 14th, and ends at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 15th.
- 38:32Speaker 1: So there you go. BitOnMilwaukeeAuction.com. That's right. All right, 877-794-1973.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Our buddy Derek was saying these games are so late,
- 38:41Speaker 2: he might not be able to go bow hunting this weekend.
- 38:43Speaker 3: Derek, some sweet bows. Sweet bows rolling up here on BitOnMilwaukee. But, yeah,
- 38:47Speaker 3: you've got to get out there and get some meat
- 38:48Speaker 3: in the freezer. So we still are going to need
- 38:51Speaker 3: you to wake up early on Saturday and go and hustle.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Got to get out there.
- 38:54Speaker 5: Come on.
- 38:54Speaker 1: I mean, they're running around. I don't know. I see
- 38:57Speaker 1: them all the time. We talked about it yesterday. So
- 38:59Speaker 1: they're out there running around. They're out there. If you
- 39:01Speaker 1: need to find some, I'll let you know where to go.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Armin knows all the hiding spots. Could you imagine somebody
- 39:07Speaker 2: just standing out here with a crossbow in their hand?
- 39:10Speaker 1: Probably not a good idea. Yeah, they would. They're very illegal,
- 39:13Speaker 1: but they'd be cleaning up.
- 39:14Speaker 5: Make me nervous to walk around. Paul from Kenosha, good morning, fellas.
- 39:17Speaker 5: This is on YouTube, by the way. You can always
- 39:19Speaker 5: get us there. Watch it on the stream.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Tough loss, everyone.
- 39:22Speaker 5: Brewers kept it close, but the Padres did what they
- 39:24Speaker 5: could to stay ahead. Yeah, that's a great breakdown. The Brewers,
- 39:26Speaker 5: after loss usually bounce back and get a win.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Go brewers. I like that. That's what they've done. They
- 39:30Speaker 1: bounced back this year. Let's see if they can do
- 39:32Speaker 1: it again. Yeah.
- 39:33Speaker 2: I didn't get 11 hits. Um, I like your chances.
- 39:37Speaker 1: If they do that again, I like their chances. That's
- 39:39Speaker 1: what I was going to say.
- 39:39Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you hope a few of those
- 39:41Speaker 2: 11 hits and four walks usually translates to more.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Than three runs. Yeah.
- 39:46Speaker 3: As frustrating as it is, Drew, I would much rather
- 39:48Speaker 3: have last night be the result. Then you get three
- 39:51Speaker 3: runs on three hits. And the only thing you do
- 39:53Speaker 3: is barely scrape by.
- 39:54Speaker 1: I mean, they had a ton of action. They made
- 39:56Speaker 1: it really tough on them.
- 39:58Speaker 3: My thought is this thing goes down again tonight and
- 40:02Speaker 3: Joey Ortiz comes up in that big spot. I did
- 40:04Speaker 3: not anticipate at any point during the year. That was
- 40:06Speaker 3: second and third and two outs. I was excited that
- 40:08Speaker 3: Joey Ortiz had a bat in his hand. And he
- 40:10Speaker 3: was like 10 feet away from making me really excited
- 40:13Speaker 3: that he had a bat in his hand.
- 40:14Speaker 1: This is our guy. Let's roll with it. I had
- 40:17Speaker 1: that same thought.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Murph addressed the thinking behind that decision and the later decision.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Maybe we'll hear from Murph. He did send that. Hunter
- 40:28Speaker 2: sent that audio, right?
- 40:29Speaker 1: We got to rank Pratt and Yellich from Hunter, and
- 40:31Speaker 1: I'm sure I could find Murph here. Let me do something.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Yeah, it was interesting to have Murph. But we'll hear
- 40:36Speaker 2: from the players. Hunter's going to... Because he was in
- 40:38Speaker 2: the locker room, not podium. Hunter was in the locker room.
- 40:41Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll definitely find... We'll find it all for you.
- 40:45Speaker 2: The people want to know what was said. If you're
- 40:47Speaker 2: just waking up, yes, the Brewers did lose 4-3. The
- 40:50Speaker 2: series is 2-1. Game 4 is this evening. You are
- 40:55Speaker 2: hanging out with us in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
