The Parallels of the Knicks and the Brewers Championship Runs 10-29-26 · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well, for the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: first time in the 57-year history of the Milwaukee Brewers,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they are world champions after a, I would say, a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: pretty solid win last night. Miz on the mound. You
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: couldn't write that script any better for Mizorowski to be
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the starting pitcher of the World Series clincher because he's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one of the main reasons they got there. to the postseason,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to the 100-plus win year, and now to the World Series.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I am so conflicted on this because sometimes I want
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the team with the most wins to be knocked off.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: That would be such a very interesting thriller. But in
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: some years, having the team with the best record win
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it all just feels right. And with the Milwaukee Brewers,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they were not a fluke. That 100-plus win year is
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: not a fluke. And I think that's important to note,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't just a lucky 100-plus win year. No,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy worked his guys, and look at what they've
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: had after years of oustings from every, minus the World Series,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: every other level in the postseason. LDS, Wild Card, LCS.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: They pushed through all of it. They mowed through all
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of it, really, and won the World Series. And you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: know who I'm really happy for here at One Look
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Up Alex Media? Christian Jelic. When he was traded or
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: let go by the Marlins and sent to the Brewers,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: he was one of three that were let go during
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Jeter era. And, of course, we all know Giancarlo
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: went to the Yankees. But after getting, you know, sent
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: away by the Marlins to Milwaukee, Jelic really thrived. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: believe he had an MVP year. a couple years after
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: leaving Miami. But he hadn't been at that World Series
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: level yet. But here he is, a World Series champion,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the first Brewers captain ever. How can you not be
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: happy for him? And I don't know, from a New
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: York standpoint, you look at this and say, well, if
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Christian Jelic, who's been blood, sweat, and tears all these
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: years trying to get that ring, finally getting it, why
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: not Aaron Judge down the road? It is possible. Christian
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Jelic was on a team that was eliminated year after
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: year in, as I mentioned, every level of postseason. But
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: finally this year, this team just clicked. William Contreras, who
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: was actually on Venezuela for the World Baseball Classic, winning
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: both the WBC and the World Series and MVP of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the World Series. And then, of course, another Yankee tie.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: There are two of them. Gary Sanchez, El Gary winning
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the ring. After his struggles in New York, he won
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the ring in Milwaukee. Good for him. But what about
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Jake Bowers? You know, I remember watching Jake Bowers as
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a Yankee, cranking out homer after homer. I mean, he
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: had a good stretch there, I believe in 2023. So
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: when Pat Murphy said this to him yesterday, after winning
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the World Series, some would say the Yankees caught strays,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: dragged through this World Series win. But I happen to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: think what Pat Murphy said, even though I don't know
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: if Jake's actually going to come back, maybe he does
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: inspire the Yanks to sign him. Because look, the Yanks
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: still need hitting. And Jake Bowers, his postseason presence, his
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: year-long presence was there. And he's been consistent with Milwaukee
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: since he got there. And I guess, you know, Lou
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Terminello told me on the air that, you know, he
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: was almost retired from the game, but he came back
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: because he had to get working again. And now he
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: works his way to the World Series. How cool is that?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And wins the World Series. But here's the viral moment
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: everybody's been posting about, both Yankee fans and baseball fans.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And as they've been saying on social media, the Yankees
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: caught strays last night. But you take a listen and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: decide that. I mean, look, he basically said you guys
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: automatically swing 3-0 and 3-1 on the Yankees. And you're
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all in it for yourselves. And I've often thought when
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Yankees get all these high-paying guys on one team,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it could become that. Sometimes, okay, cohesiveness is not there.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But I think the bigger question is, does Jake Bowers
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: come back to the Yankees? And, you know, Scott Boris
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: isn't an agent, but I think after winning the World Series,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he will hit the market at a very, very high
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: price right now. And I... Look, I'd love to see
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: him back in pinstripes. This lineup needs a boost. This
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: lineup needs a boost. Lockout looming aside, this lineup needs
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a boost, and I would love to have Jake Bowers back.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I liked him when he was a Yankee. Maybe having
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that World Series presence now could give that another element
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to a Yankee lineup that did get eliminated by these Rays.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You know, Drew Rasmussen, by the way, I'm feeling back
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to 2009 when I first started this podcast on college
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: radio talking about the Yanks winning the World Series 17
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: years ago. I'm still doing it 17 years later, talking
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: about the World Series on a platform. At one leg
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of Alex Media, it's kind of surreal in a way
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: when you think about it to still be here talking
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: sports like that with you. But I digress. But I digress.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Drew Rasmussen is a very interesting case because obviously... He
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was one of the best, if not the best pitcher
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for the Rays this year, pitching on three days rest.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: He shut out the Yankees in pretty dominant fashion, then
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: gets roughed up by the Guardians, and everybody's like, see,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the Yanks just couldn't hit him, and he's not that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: good of a pitcher, blah, blah, blah, blah. There's a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: reason why Kevin Cash started him on three days rest,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to try and salvage the series and push it back
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. So I say interesting because here in New York,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think we all were watching how these other teams
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: were going to hit him and say, wow, the Yanks
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: could do it, but these other teams could. Well, actually,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he did okay last night. He did not do terrible.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: There were some weird base running mistakes by the Brewers also.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And then I didn't think him shutting out the Yankees
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was a total fluke is what I'm trying to say.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great pitcher. Maybe not Cy Young worthy.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's Cam Schlittler this year. But he's up. He is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a good pitcher, and he leads a rotation that could
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: continue this kind of dominance down the road. But to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: say it was all the Yanks' fault for not hitting him,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think that's a fair assessment.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I think he was damn good for the Rays. all
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: year long. But Ryan and I were watching this game
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: last night and I said, you watch. If the Brewers
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: light up Rasmussen, all New York's going to say, see,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: why couldn't the Yanks do that? That's how we are
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in New York City. There's no doubt about it. But, but,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the case. He actually pitched all right. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: then Miz, getting the start after they lost game now
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it's argued that if there was no error committed in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the 12th inning, the Rays would have lost four straight
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to the Brewers. I do believe they could have gotten
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: swept instead of the walk-off. But that's besides the point.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Miz starting Game 5 of the World Series. You know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I remember last year, there was a lot of criticism
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that he started the All-Star Game as a rookie. I mean,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of like, why is Miz in there, right?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You know, But look at a year and a half later,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he shows why he deserved to be that NL starter
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: last year, and he has shown the league that he
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is here to stay. Do I like him cranking out
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: 100 miles an hour each pitch? That's going to screw
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: up his arm. I almost cursed there. That's going to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: screw up his arm. If you keep launching it, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I think he only won five and two-thirds yesterday. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was hoping he'd go a little longer in that clincher,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: but Pat Murphy's still kind of nursing him along. They're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: not ready to let him go six or seven innings.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We saw that in the NLCS. We see it again
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: last night. And when he throws 100-plus out of the gate, yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you're going to worry about his arm through the game. Because,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just one inning. I think he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: pretty much threw in the hundreds consistently every time out.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And that is.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say detrimental to him down the road,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: but it could be. It really could be. I hope
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it's not. I hope he has a long-lasting career. He
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gets his ring now in his, what, first or second
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: full season as a brewer. But I do hope for him.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But why I bring that up is last night there
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was a lot of weird sliding on the mound, which
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't really understand. His foot was not properly settled.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Kept sliding up, but they had to keep fixing the mound.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It was very odd. last night to see that. But
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he persevered. He did what he had to do with
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the Rays. And now, I believe they said 400,000 fans
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: will hit Milwaukee's streets for a parade tomorrow. Now, that's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: not two million for the Knicks, but you can sort
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of sense a parallel between the both of them. You
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: can sense a parallel how much New York City wanted
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the Knicks to win or were craving that Knicks championship.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: We all hadn't seen it in our lifetimes. And I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: see a parallel to Milwaukee loving on the Brewers and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: emotionally connecting with this. People hadn't seen it in 82,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: finally seeing it. Kids who had never been born in 82,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: finally seeing the Brewers do something. I saw a kid
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: crying on social media last night that this team won.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So I said on my Instagram story there were two.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It's just been a historic year. It's just been a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: historic year. Whether in a big city in New York
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: City or a small market like Milwaukee, the emotions are
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the same because both teams had never won it in
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: our lifetimes. Now the Knicks had won twice. This was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the Brewers' first ever franchise victory. World Series victory. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the emotions are very similar. The crowding of the streets
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in Milwaukee reminded me of the crowding of the streets
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: in New York City just months earlier. So it is
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: good to see New Blood winning these championships and these titles.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And I know I mentioned my connection to Bob Uecker
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: before but I want to also say last night winning
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: for Ueck heavily reminded me of my dad revering him
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I mean every time we'd have lunch or something my
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: dad would always be like pull up the Bob Uecker
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame speech and I did and I love
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that speech I'm going to link it in the description
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: below but I'm sure my dad and Bob Uecker are
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: having a whale of a time I'm sure you know
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Bob's up there in the upper deck, again, watching from afar.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And I just can't believe a year after he passed,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they win it. That's sportuality right there. I've mentioned that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: term before, but that is sports and spirituality mixed in one.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And they won it for Bob Uecker. They won it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for Uecker. And I love that. And Pat Murphy, every
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: time they won a series... So I got a text
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: message from Bob Buecher. How cool is that? How cool
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: is that? But yes. Do I think this is going
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to be a lockout saving, you know, lockout, stop the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: lockout from happening? I don't know. But I do think
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it gives an answer that if the Brewers can do it,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Any small market team can. Why not the Rays down
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the road? Why not the Rockies? You know, the Rockies
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: are another weird team that they just have not... They
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: had that 0-7 stretch. And it was in 0-7, of course,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: they made the World Series that year and lost to Boston.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But still. But still. That was a special time for Colorado.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: For Colorado. Pittsburgh, another team that hasn't won it in decades, right?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've not won it, I don't think... Last
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: time I remember hearing about it was at 1960, Bill
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Mazeroski home. These market teams can shine. And you know why?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Because they do fundamentally right. They do it fundamentally correctly.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And sometimes they do it better than the bigger... payrolls,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: who do, as Pat Murphy said, automatically swing on three
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and one and think that's enough. Like, you know, it just...
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: On that same turf in Tampa, we saw the Yankees
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: make five errors. Five errors in game two of that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: LDS this year. That wasn't fundamentally sound baseball. The Rays...
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: For most of the year, played fundamentally sound baseball. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just think the Brewers had their number and had everybody's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: number this year. And so I'm happy for Milwaukee. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I love seeing the emotional parallel between how Milwaukee's reacting
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: to this World Series and how we reacted to the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals. And how we reacted to the Knicks winning
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: for the first time in 53 years. And at Kettle
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and Fish, you could barely get in In downtown Manhattan,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it's a brewer's bar. Hell, if Miz goes over there,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I will definitely go and grab a picture with him
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: if they do something. Even with Yellich, when the brewers
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: are in town, you know?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Because they are not only world champions, but they just,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: their stories are intriguing.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Adam Jake Bowers does opt out of Milwaukee, which I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: don't know if he will. I love him in New York.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I love him in New York. But the point is,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: for the Yanks to get dragged in this is kind
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: of hilarious. And should inspire the Yanks to make some
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: moves this offseason to get where the Brewers are now.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And win 28. Because... If the Brewers could do it,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: why not the Yanks again? If the Brewers could do it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: why not the other small market teams? It feels like
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a moment where you could say if the Milwaukee Brewers
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: could go from being eliminated eight of the last nine
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: years to this happening for them, then any team can
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: be revitalized and move forward with the right people in place.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And if you talk about Brewers... I think about CeCe
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Sabathia a lot. I think about how he was part
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of the resurgence of this team. In 08, they made
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the postseason for the first time since 1982. That was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: because CeCe Sabathia's left arm willed that team in, along
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: with Ryan Braun, along with Prince Fielder, and I'll say
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: it again, I've said it before, they walked so that Churio, Jelic, Contreras, Pratt,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Jake Bowers can run to the Commissioner's Trophy. Congratulations to
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers. And to all baseball fans, we saw
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: history together. We are here to see a team win
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the World Series for the first time ever. And though
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that other series was not as intriguing with the Rangers
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and Diamondbacks, the Rangers winning their first World Series ever,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: just three years ago. How can you say when your
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: team's not in the World Series, I'm not going to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: watch it? I think that's the most ridiculous thing ever.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know why? Because if you're a baseball fan beyond
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: your team, you miss out on history if you don't
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: watch once your team's eliminated. I think you almost just
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: have to just keep watching. Because things like this Keep unfolding.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: As a baseball fan, beyond a Yankee fan, that gets
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: me excited to just keep watching these teams thrive and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: grow and build. And of course, how can I be
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: remiss if I didn't think about this today as well?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody's been complaining about David Stearns, and yes, he should
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: have offered Alonzo a contract. But this was David Stern's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: team as well, for the most part. And they won
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a World Series, yeah, a couple years after his departure.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But they won a World Series, and he was the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: architect of this. So Mets fans, maybe have a little
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: patience with the guy. He might not get it right now,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: but maybe he knows what he's doing. Just we don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: see it yet, but maybe he knows what he's doing.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: At least that's what Mets fans can hope. and take
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: away from the Brewers win the World Series. Ron, you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: want to chime in?
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just while you were going on that whole monologue
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: about David Stearns, just something I want to point out.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And yeah, you're absolutely correct that Stearns, he built the
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: foundation for that Brewers team. And actually, when they went
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: to the World Series, and shout out to just underscore
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Mets on X for this, over half of the championship roster,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: really the LCS roster, were.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: David Stern's additions.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Eight of nine members of their starting lineup, their number
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: one and three starting pitchers, their.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Seventh inning man, set of men, and closer.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: And let's not forget, too, that when Craig Council left
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: for the Cubs, Pat Murphy was also technically a David
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Stern's addition, too.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: He brought him into the And he.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Just signed Andy Green to a three-year deal, so what
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: can I tell you about that?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean, there's a whole, there's a lot
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: more to this with, and I'm sure you've probably heard
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: of this, Alex, that Brody Van Wagenen back in 2020
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: wanted Pat Murphy before they went with Beltran and that
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: whole mess that they made.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know, it kind of makes you wonder, really,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: about these Brewers, man. I mean, they'll lose these big additions.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But it's not even a big deal to them.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: At all.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Like, you see Craig Council leave for Chicago. You see
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: David Stearns leave for New York. And they're fine with
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: that one.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Simple as that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, even last offseason with Freddy Peralta, trading him
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: for Brandon Sproat, who, I mean, he pitched in the
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: big league club for the Brewers, really didn't do that
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: much for them, and I believe he wasn't even.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: On their playoff roster, but still a promising young arm.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Jed Williams hasn't even made his debut yet, so the
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: jury's very much still out on him, but it says
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: a lot when you could trade a young candidate like
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Freddy Peralta and still, for two guys that wouldn't even
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: make an impact on the title run, and they're still
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: winning a title.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: It makes you wonder.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: And then you're in awe because Daniel Vogelbeck is the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: hitting coach that won the World Series with the Brewers.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And I remember him running the bases as a fat
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: guy on the base. I loved it. I loved the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: energy of Daniel Vogelbeck. And, um, Yeah. And I know
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you did a podcast about this as well, so where
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: can people find it? Oh, yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Pag's Perspective. I just talked about this a matter of
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: hours ago.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: And I really wanted to focus on why the Brewers
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: and winning the World Series is both good and bad
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: for the sport of baseball. I'm trying to keep it
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: as neutral as possible, but you can find it on
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: my own show as well, Pag's Perspective.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: And you can, of course, get it on Spreaker, the
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: home base.com.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: But it will also be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: pretty much all the other platforms that you're on.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Now, one last thing. The Green Bay Packers host a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: home game tonight, I believe.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: How are these Wisconsinites not exhausted?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Well, and of course, the Bucs had a home game.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: No one was there for that because they were all
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: at Milwaukee. At AmFim Family Field for the watch party.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Or if not, they're in the, I believe it's called
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: the Deer Den or the Deer Garden. The public area
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: outside of the Fiserv Forum in downtown where a lot
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: of the Brewers fans have been gathering to watch the
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: games together.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And I remember I begged, I begged the counselor that
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: led all of us, Jude Kessel, in 2005, the Jason Project, please,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: can I go see the stadium while we're in Milwaukee? Well, now, Ryan,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I think I have a reason to be inside the same.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I want to see that banner next year. I'm going
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to go. I went to Chicago this year. I feel
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: like I've got to go to Milwaukee now.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I can't wait for the back-to-back picture that you're going
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: to put up on your Instagram, one of the Knicks
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: banner and then the other one of the Brewers.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I just know that's coming.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Am I right? The emotional parallel, though, between the Knicks
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: winning here and there are two different markets, but there's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the same energy. You know what I mean?
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Same energy, but then also when you think about the
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: history of baseball in Milwaukee, their city's last title was
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: in 57th. when the Milwaukee Braves were in town. I mean,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: long time coming for the city, no question about it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Sort of in the same light that New York was
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: in with basketball, it was just a little bit longer
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: of a drought this time around for Milwaukee. I mean,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: you talk about 53 years for the Knicks.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Well, how about 69 years for.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee in between their last World Series and their most recent.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: One as of last night?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable. And, of course, the Brewers' first time ever. As
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the Brewers. And you know what? I feel like meeting
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Bernie and the Brewer was a good sign during the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: All-Star break. And now he can slide down as a
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: world champion. So congrats to all. And to the 400,000
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: people that are going to be lining the streets in Milwaukee. Congratulations.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: This is for you. and your lineage of Milwaukee fans
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and family that love this team, that's for you. And
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I have to say, if the five-year cycle continues, five
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: years ago was the Bucs, this year is the Brewers.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, could the Packers do it five years
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: from now? Who knows? But only time will tell. But
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: congrats to the city of Milwaukee, and as Laverne Shirley sang,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: They did it their way. And that was actually their tag.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Our way. Because that's how they did it. 103 wins.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Not a fluke. And they did it for Uke. And
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that's my message. At One Leg Up Alex Media.
