Brewers sweep Dodgers to crack open their first World Series appearance since 1982 | FT Postgame · Foul Territory

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: They freaking did it. The Milwaukee Brewers are going to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the World Series. What a dominant NLCS for this team.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And AJ, I don't want to make this about me.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You're biased.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Why? Because I'm wearing a Schuylkill shirt?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You're biased.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing this for a reason.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: You're just biased.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: One of the top storylines. Didn't matter.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: No.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Tarek's Schuylkill shirt from FoulTerritoryShop.com for the Dodgers.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Because we were all questioning why they didn't trade for him.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And then he went to the Dodgers and... It didn't matter.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: The problem was the Dodgers couldn't hit more than anything.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers just couldn't hit. I mean, I don't know
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: what their team average was, but they couldn't hit, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: they couldn't hit with guys on third and less than
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: two outs or guys in scoring position for that matter.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: There was one guy who could hit with runners in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: scoring position. His name was Andy Pies who couldn't hit
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: last year at all. So, yeah, I mean, they didn't
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: pitch terrible. Scuba didn't pitch terrible. I mean, they stayed
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in most of these games. The problem was– They couldn't
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: get no dang hits. And if you don't get no hits,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it's hard to win baseball games. Nope. You don't get
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: no rolls. You don't get to eat. And they didn't.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And across baseball, teams haven't been hitting in the postseason
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: very much. So you have to get your timely hits.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It's understandable. But the Dodgers, just lack of oomph. They
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: had some extra base hits tonight. The dinger by Shohei.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It was all there. But too little, too late. The
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Brewers were too much. I don't know how many games
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: he would have had to play to win four games
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: against the Brewers, the way that they're playing right now
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and the way that the Dodgers are hitting right now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Unfazed comeback after comeback. This was 4-0 and then six unanswered. Unreal.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So let's break it down. Let's hit full count. It's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a full count. Yeah, full count fueled by a marathon
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and actually a playoff that, A.J., The Brewers can take
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: some walks and work some deep A-Bs. I mean, the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: highlight in the playoffs for them, especially in this series,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is Jake Bowers working some ridiculous long at-bats. And then
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: even in this game, huge A-Bs. But, man, they know
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: how to take a pitch.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Who had the highest on-base percentage in baseball, Scott?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was Bowers, wasn't he?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers as a team. They get on base. Pratt's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: frozen or is his face always like that? No, he's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: always like that. It was frozen. But they have the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: highest on-base percentage in baseball. I mean, at least in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the National League that I know of. But they get
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: on base. They put pressure. And what was amazing is
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: normally they do it right after a team scores. If
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you remember when we talked earlier in the Padres series,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it was like the Padres had scored two runs and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: it was first and second, no outs for the Brewers
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the next inning before you even realized that the Padres
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: had scored two runs. And in this series, they waited
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: an inning until they did it. And then they got
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to glass now. And then four walks in an inning
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: on some pitches that, honestly, I mean, the four pitches
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: from Vestia to Bowers weren't even close. I mean, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: could have taken those pitches, which I didn't say much
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: because I just want to get the rosin bag. So,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: just great at-bats by the Brewers. Great team at-bats. Big
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: hits when they needed them. The Garrett Mitchell 0-2 to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: 3-2 homer. I mean, even Hamilton hit him a bomb.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That was a freaking bomb, by the way, that Hamilton hit. So,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it's just– They were the better team. That's the only
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: way I can put it. They were the better team
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: in this series, and they swept the Dodgers, and they
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: slayed the Dragon, and now the Brewers have a chance
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to win their first World Series ever. Kids aren't up
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: this late at night, so when they watch this tomorrow, hitting,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to be the most successful hitter you can be, you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have to be able to stay through the ball. You
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: pull off, you try to hit, you try to pull
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the ball, you're not going to be able to put
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: together at bats. And this team, this Brewers team, stays
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: through the ball really well. Their approach is to the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: opposite field gap, and then when they clip one a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: little bit farther out in front, it's a dinger. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you can see their approach, and that's why they are
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: able to walk more. They're not just like, well, we're
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: just going to not swing, or we're going to take
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: so many pitches. No, they're aggressive to the opposite field,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and that allows them to stay just a little bit
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: deeper on the ball.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It's hard to come back game after game. This was
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the one, AJ. You're looking, you know, anyone that follows
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the game and goes with the highs and lows looks
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: at a game like this and says, okay, Dodgers up 4-0. Whoa,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Otani hit a bomb. And they're going to unleash their
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: high leverage, guys. Glasnow's going to keep rolling. No. Come back.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Again. that is not easy, even with the approach and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the clean baseball they play and the unique brand of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: baseball they play to come back like this again and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: score six unanswered to hold the Dodgers down with the bullpen. Again,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers had some missed opportunities to later on in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: this one. And that's why they're going home. But man,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it was the same story game after game.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ashby's sick. I mean, Ashby's sick. Ashby was sick.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, how many times in this game there was
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: at least twice that I can remember where the Dodgers
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: had runners on third, less than two outs, and got nothing?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe two or three times. I mean, they punched out
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Otani the one time. And then they got Tucker to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: hit the weak pop-up, right? I'm talking about less than
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: two outs. Those are the two. One for seven with
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: four strikeouts, yeah, tonight. But I'm talking about less than
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: two outs. I mean, two outs is a little tougher,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: but they just couldn't get the big hit for these
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: four games. That's the difference. the Brewers got every big
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: hit and got every thing that could happen to go
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: right for him, basically went right. And it was kind
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of like the exact, it was two polar opposites and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: everything that probably could have gone wrong for the Dodgers
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: went wrong. Whether it was starting pitching, didn't go deep,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: bullpen couldn't hold, couldn't keep it in it. Guys in
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: scoring position couldn't get the hit and there was no power.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: The only home run was by Otani. And that's by
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: far the most emotion we've ever seen out of Shohei Otani. So,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: It was just two opposite teams. One was really good
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and one didn't play very well. And the Brewers, again,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we're the better team. That's it. The Brewers are the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: better team.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Better baseball.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Team. Couldn't agree more. There's really nothing else to say.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: The fact that you didn't even use your high-end– or
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: your elite-level closer in McGill. Like, you kept Gasser in there,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and he went through the entire lineup. Like, that's it. Like, there's–
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Different aspects of the game. They were in a better spot.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Do you like the names on the Dodgers? Absolutely. The
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Brewers were in a better spot to win this series
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to show that they are the best team in baseball
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And now they have to try and do something that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: they've never done. Win a World Series. They haven't been
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to the World Series in 44 years. This team has
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: been consistently good for this little decade portion of baseball,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but they've had some low times. Just like your White Sox, AJ.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: You've been through this, dude.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I'm aware. I know exactly what they're feeling right now.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Because when they fly back to Milwaukee, it's probably going
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to be tomorrow, tonight, tomorrow, whenever they fly back. They're
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: not flying back tonight. It'll be tomorrow. And they land
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, every person that they see on the streets
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: is going to say, man, you guys got to win
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the World Series. You got to win the World Series.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: My grandpa, my great-grandmother, my uncles, cousins, nephews, brothers, sisters, grandfather.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: has never seen a team in Milwaukee win a world.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Every person will say it to them. And it means
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: something to the city, and it means something to the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Brewers fans. And whoever wins in the American League is
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: going to run into a buzzsaw. I know the Brewers
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: are going to get a little bit of time off here,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: but they're going to run into a buzzsaw of a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: team that is just clicking right now. And I don't
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: think the time off is going to hurt them at all.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be hard for me to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: see a team beating– The Brewers, four out of seven
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: games in the World Series.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So you guys don't think the Guardians or the Rays
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: can take them down? And that's okay. I mean, this
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is a talk show. Tell me, do you guys think
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the World Series was won in the NLCS? Actually, I'll
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: start with Kratz because you said that, Kratz. You said
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that before this series started. You said the World Series
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is now. It's Dodgers-Brewers. Do you still feel that way
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: after seeing what the Brewers did and what's going on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: on the other side?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I do, and I think the other side has been
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: a much better series than I thought it was going
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to be, and so I'm excited to see what's going
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to happen. But if you take the superpowers of each
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: of those two teams and put them together right now,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that is what the Brewers are doing. That's what the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Brewers have done the whole year. Let's not talk about
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the Brewers as some Cinderella story, people. They won 103 games.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you ever won 103 games in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a season, A.J., That is so many games. The Dodgers
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: won 100 games in a much better National League. This team,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I just think, is built different than either of the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: other two teams. I'm still excited to see who wins
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the American League. I think both teams can put up
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a fight against them. I just don't, again,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, both of them have good starting pitching
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: if you go through both American League teams. Both of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: them have good bullpens. The question's going to come down
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to the offense, and the offense for me is better
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on the Brewers than we saw. They just ran into
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. It was supposed to have the best starting rotation.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: They were talking about with Scooble, Yamamoto, Snell, and Gloss,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, of all time, people were talking about, man,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: this is the greatest rotation we've ever seen. And they
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: just ran through it like it was nothing. So, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: mean this is not a knock on Parker Messick, Gavin
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Williams and Foster Griffin and it's not a knock on
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Rasmussen Nick Martinez, Griffin Jacks and I forgot the Freddy
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Peralta but I don't know if they match up with
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Scubo Yamamoto, Snell and Glassnell and they ran right through
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: them so I don't know what can stop. I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: people are going to say, oh, no, they're going to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: get some time off. I don't think it slows them down.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Murph will know how to get these guys motivated. Murph
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: coached in college, okay? And I know I kind of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: joke about this all the time. Murph knows how to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: motivate people, and that is Murph's superpower. And, Kratz, you
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: know him. You played with him. You played for him.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: His biggest thing that Murph knows how to do is
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: press the buttons on his team and make them understand
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: what they need to do and how to get them going.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I cannot see them having a letdown at all.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The chat is wild right now. I'm listening to you guys,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: but the chat is wild. They're talking about throwing games.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: One person saying this is the anti-Dodgers show. No, this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was the anti-Dodgers series. They got smoked.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Anti-Dodgers show?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm wearing the Scooble shirt because Scooble, despite being
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: okay with L.A. during his time, his short tenure there,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was not the difference maker. The Brewers didn't need him
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to slay the Dodgers. This is not the anti-Dodgers show.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: This is breaking down what just happened. And if you
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: watch last year's postgame shows after the Brewers were dusted
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: by the Dodgers, you would be like, this is the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: anti-Brewers show. And I would say, yes, the Brewers were toasted,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: roasted and toasted. And actually, last year, the theme, AJ,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: was nobody can touch the Dodgers starting pitching in that NLCS.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: This year they did. Yamamoto two and two thirds? I mean,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto was... the best player in the postseason last year,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and doing things that we've never seen before. As crazy
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and as much of a unicorn as Shohei Otani has
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: been over the last half decade plus in baseball, Yamamoto
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: going off no rest like that, doing what he did.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, unworldly, especially in a sport where we coddle
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: pitchers these days. There it is. Dodgers starting rotation that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: was supposed to carry them to a three-peat. 18 innings
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in this series, 13 runs, 16 hits, 8 walks, 6.5 ERAs.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The Brewers had a better plan. They had a better roster.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And they beat those guys.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You just summed it up. You just summed it up.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Same guys, right? I mean, Otani wasn't pitching in this one,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but Scooble's a good replacement.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: By the way.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto, Glasnow, Snell. And actually even the hired guns, right?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Because Glasnow and Snell don't pitch much or haven't in
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the regular season. And they weren't as good this time around.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker wasn't. kind of became a hired gun. He
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: was actually really good in October. It wasn't good during
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the regular season, but that doesn't matter. You can't always
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: just wait for October to strike. They didn't play well
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: for the last three months against good teams.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Can we also, and this is, I guess this is
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: going to be my mea culpa or the show's mea culpa.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Can we give the Brewers credit for who they did
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: go get? Dustin May, huge innings in this. Jojo Romero,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: unbelievable pitching in this entire series, right? Those two guys
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: alone Did they do anything else? I don't know. Did
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: they do anything?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: They got Senzatella.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, Senzatella. He pitched really well for them in the DS, okay?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But those other two guys, May gave them two scoreless
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: innings after the Otani-Homer. Jojo Romero owes Shohei Otani, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he's nasty. So the moves they did make by Matt
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Arnold in the front office here, it kind of filled
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: out their roster with what they already had. And they
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: did this, by the way. Miz didn't pitch great. Henderson
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: didn't pitch great. But their bullpen, mm-mm-mm. You ain't want
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to face that bullpen. Ashby might have some of the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: best stuff I've ever seen. That curveball, and he was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: throwing 100, and then the curveball off of it. Ain't
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: nobody want to see that coming in.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Crazy. During the broadcast, they talked right out. What did
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: he do, three innings today? He went three innings today.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Three again?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: They were like, you know what?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: He didn't even go to McGill. Nah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Just do your thing, dude. Former starter, too. He can
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: give them three in a playoff game, and then they.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Get a week off.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: They're getting a whole week off. World Series starts in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a week.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: That Will Smith triple.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Friday, I think. But it's almost Friday now. I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it's Friday, East Coast time in 30 minutes.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: That triple down the line was the first hit in 40,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I think 42-02 counts. Ashby. And the other thing is
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: there wasn't a lot of hard contact when their bullpen
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: came in. There wasn't like, this guy's He's dancing through raindrops.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: It was like full swing, fly ball to left. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: missed it. I didn't see the last out of the game.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I think that was a line drive to Churrio, kind
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: of over his head. He ran it down. But there
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: just wasn't a lot of hard contact where you're like,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: how are they going to string this together if they're
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: not able to drive balls, even get a barrel on balls?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And I thought Glasnow, you guys said, I thought Glasnow
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: was pretty nasty last night.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: No, it really wasn't.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Snell, Snell, Snell, Snell. I'm sorry. Snell punching out a
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: team that's proven that they can make adjustments, but the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Brewers still got to him. I meant Snell. I didn't
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: mean Glassnow.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but then they still got a couple dingers off
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of him.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: No, I get it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Including left on left action. I mean, which you never
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: see from Snell, right? That was the second time ever
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: he's given up two homers to lefties in a game
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: in his career. Ever. And that was back to back.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: First time he'd ever done that. I mean, Snell's nasty.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: You're a lefty. Garrett Mitchell suddenly left on left like
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: it's nothing. I mean, let's save it. I want to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Let's get to that. So first off,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to cap this, though, the Dodgers three-peat is done. And
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that was full count. Three-peat quest is done. Full count
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: fueled by marathon, where fun runs on full. Save up
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to $ 1 a gallon with marathon rewards. Hey, we're here.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Before we get to the next segment, there will be
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: some Brewers fans watching since apparently this is a pro
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Brewer show. They have a song that they sing. Let's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: play some baseball. Get some home runs. Milwaukee Brewers. We
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: have a t-shirt for it. Jacob is that pitcher. Three strikes,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you're out. That's Mizorowski, by the way, who they didn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: have to use in this one. Or in this series again,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I should say. And there's the full The full menu
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of Brewers shirts. If you're listening to the podcast version
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: of this episode, foul territory shop.com. All right, let's get
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to more Brewers talk right now.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said. Presented by Lorraine co. They
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: came into this one different Pat Murphy on the Brewers
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: clutch at bats in the post season. This was from
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: earlier in the series. This year, they don't want to
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: be denied, and they're going against arguably one of the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: best teams in baseball ever put together, and they don't care.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: They won't be denied. It starts with the dude behind
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the dish. That was the quote from Murph, EK, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it proved true. Completely different looking series from last year.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: You can't get much different than what we saw last
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: year from this team in this series, NLCS rematch.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: They looked shell-shocked last year. capped off by Shohei hitting
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: his three dingers, striking out the world, Yamamoto doing his
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: thing the game before that, and to flip it on
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, to make the Dodgers look shell-shocked, to see
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, who are so composed, slamming their bat, perplexed
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: at balls, like, how did that one go? How did
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I make a mistake and it just gets clipped? Like,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: they shell-shocked a team that shell-shocked them last year, so
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Good for them for staying focused. And the fact that
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: he said about, you know, it starts with the guy
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: behind the dish. Murph will be the first one to
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: tell you that William Contreras and him don't always see
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: eye to eye. But he understands what William Contreras brings
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to this team. And if it wasn't for Jake Bowers,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: William Contreras could have been an MVP. If it wasn't
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: for William or Jake Bowers, Ashby could have been the MVP. Like,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: there was plenty of dudes that really drove the bus.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: in this, in this series and in this playoff so far. Yeah.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Jake Bowers won the MVP. It could have been easily
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Ashby could have been contrarious. He didn't have it, you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: but there was a team effort. There was everybody could
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: have been Gary Mitchell. Heck he had two huge home
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: runs in this series too. So there was a lot
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of guys that could have been, again, it's team baseball. Um, yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And Murph to Murph to say this. And of course, Sophia,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: who's one of the best in the business. If you've
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: never been around Sophia, she's awesome. Um, But she gets
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: this quote from Murph, and I love it. Listen, as
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: somebody that covers all these teams, you don't have favorites.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: You really don't. I mean, obviously, I root for the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: White Sox. But certain teams, I'll say this, make it
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: easier to cover them than other teams do. And you
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: can take that for what it is. The Dodgers are great,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: but the Brewers are on a different level. Vassallo and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: his whole– we've talked about this. Mike Vassallo, the PR
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: guy there. Murph is awesome. Murph will talk to you.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Dave Roberts will talk to you all day long too, right?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: but they're accessible. They'll do anything you ask of them.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: You want a camera, you want an interview, they'll do it, right?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: And Vassallo is, again, one of the best. Murph is awesome.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Matt Arnold is accessible. Mark Antonacio is accessible to talk to.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: They're just a great organization as a TV person and
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: as a media person to go in for one day,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and get to talk to or to go in and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: do a series like I did with the Padres and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: get to talk to them. It's nice to have that
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: when you go to and you know going in, I
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: get to cover A, B, or C team, and the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Brewers are definitely one of the A teams.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good team players for the sport. They're great
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: representatives for the sport, and that's one thing that we
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: can talk really, really well about because we cover the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: sport and access is important and just treating people around
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you is important. They do all those things really well.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: There's definitely good karma. Not a whale 902 in the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: chat who is a frequent FT watcher and listener and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a Brewers fan. So he's having a good night said
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Jake Bowers got his baby insurance for sure. So AJ,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you just mentioned it. He's NLCS MVP. And we talked
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: about the story yesterday. He said that he only kept
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: playing ball because they needed insurance for after his wife
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: was pregnant and he was getting out of the game.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So he was like, damn, I got to go back
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to the minors and get some insurance or we're in trouble. Well,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that baby caused some trouble for the Dodgers.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Dodgers are like, oh, yeah, the Dodgers are like, man,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: why'd this guy have to have that baby and have
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: to come back and play? I just think it would
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: have been someone else.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Better get a celibate for Sean's shirt.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, as much as, and people that watch his
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: show all the time will understand this, but as much
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't anything against Jake Bowers, but it was
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: just something because Jake Bowers struggled for a long time.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: He was a prospect. And we had an analytic guy
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: on here talking about how Jake Bowers, and this was
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: like three years ago now. And it was kind of
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: like a thing every time he'd come on. How's Jake
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Bowers doing? Well, Jake Bowers finally lived up to all
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: the hype that we had talked about when Lance had
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: talked about that for all those years. So I'm happy
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: for Jake Bowers. He's a really nice guy. It's great
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: for his family. And I don't think he's going to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: have to worry about insurance, especially in Milwaukee anytime soon.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of free beers for Jake Bowers in Milwaukee.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I see a ton of questions coming in through the chat,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: so we'll get to a couple after this segment. But
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: here we go. Pat Murphy has his moment, has his chance.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I want to finish up this segment by reminding everyone
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that Craig Council left Milwaukee for a lot of money.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Most people would not stay in Milwaukee in Craig Council's shoes, Kratz.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: And it's not just about the money. I seriously believe
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Craig Council felt like managers were being disrespected. And this
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't any disrespect to front offices getting paid more. I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: just think that there were certain managers who get asked
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to do a lot and they succeed and they thrive
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and the salaries were going down. There were dudes 20
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: years ago making more money than some of the best
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: managers in baseball. So Craig Council had an opportunity to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: not just get richer, but also set the market for
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: his colleagues. He leaves to the Cubs. Who do they
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: replace him with? His longtime bench coach, Pat Murphy, who
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: almost everyone knows why, because no matter who you are
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: in baseball, if you're covering it, if you're media, if
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: you're another team, whatever it is, if you're on the field,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Murph will find you and he'll talk ball with you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: over the last whatever amount of time it's been that
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: he's been in Major League Baseball. Good for him.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: One day we'll try to hash it out with Murph
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: about how close he was to being the New York
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Mets manager in I'm not sure what year that was.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: The Mets missed out on a good one there because
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: they almost took him away from the Brewers job as
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: the bench coach. This was after I left in 18.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: But there is no tougher person that needed to or
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: that had to make a decision on Craig Council leaving Milwaukee.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Because some people are like, I was managing in this
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: city forever. The city loved me, blah, blah, blah. Craig Council...
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: is from there. Craig Council lives up in, I think
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it's Whitefish Bay it's called. It's just north. He rides
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: his bike to the stadium when he was the manager.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: So for him to go set the market for managers
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: and leave what he had in Milwaukee was not a
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: small thing. It was not just money. There was some
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: principle to it too. And good for him for making
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the decision that he did. And great for Murph. I
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: do wonder if Craig maybe... Questions if he should have gone. Really?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. This is nothing from Craig. This is
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: just me saying he wanted another challenge. Those were his words.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for the challenge. But I think he made
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the right decision because other managers will get paid more
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: because of what he did. A manager that leaves, that's
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: never won a World Series and then gets that type
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: of contract. It elevates guys who normally wouldn't get their
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: contracts elevated. But he left home. He left home. He
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: left Milwaukee, where he was a bat boy, a ball boy.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: He left there where he played. He left a place
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: where his family, his son, was playing in the state championship,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin state championship for baseball. Like, there is a lot
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: that he left to do that. So I wonder, because...
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I know as an ex-player, I couldn't be happier for
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee fans because you see how they come out. You
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: see how they support their team. It's like a– it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: a very insular group. It's very– like you go 40
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: minutes south and you're in Chicago and they don't like
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Chicago fans. You go anywhere north and there's no baseball.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: It is their area. You go anywhere west and it's Minnesota.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: So it's the Twins' land. So it's their– they're just–
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I know they're not landlocked because they're on a lake,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: but they're just landlocked right there, and they are one
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: of the best group of fans.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Yep, they are, and they're going to be treated.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: To something special. Scott, I guarantee this. When Pat Murphy
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: gets back in his office and he looks at his phone,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: one of the first people that will have texted him
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: will be Craig Council. So let's not. They're still very tight.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I know they talk all the time. He'll never Murph
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: and them. But they are very, very, very, very, very,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: very good friends. So I guarantee you. Craig Council, one
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: of the first people from Milwaukee, from Wisconsin, texted, called,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: and there was a message from Craig Council on Pat
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Murphy's phone saying, congratulations, Murph, go win the whole damn thing.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: And Craig Council means it with this heart. No doubt.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I think Kratz is just saying, yeah, I mean, you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: watch that and you go, maybe that could have been me.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: But yes, he's very happy for his friend. And if
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you know Murph, like I said, it's hard to not
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: root for Murph. But we'll also see if the Rays
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: can win their first title or if the Guardians can
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: win their first title since forever. Baseball fans, time to

• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on the way out, shall we? So someone asked a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: question about the bad look of empty seats. in some
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of these LCS games. I think Cleveland had it pretty packed.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't see anything negative about the attendance there. We've
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: talked about the Rays having some issues. There's the question
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: from Justin. What's up with all the empty seats during
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the championship series? Kind of a bad look for all teams.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: So apparently there were some empty seats and probably a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: bit of a muted crowd at Dodger Stadium. Here's Jake Mintz.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: who covers the sports and lightest crowd I've seen for
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a postseason game here, understandably so. And Jake, like many
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: other media members have been to LA a lot for
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: playoff games. So they know, and it's not just cherry picking. Oh,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it's two hours before the game. Like I think he
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: posted that pretty close to game time. This is not
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a knock to LA. I mean, LA seen a lot
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: of playoff baseball lately. They're down three. Oh, you're going
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to have a fan base. That's like, I don't want
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to see the bloodbath continue. I don't want.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: To fight that traffic. You ever been to Dodger Stadium?
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: You don't want to fight that traffic.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: You'll fight it for something good, but down 3-0 to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a Brewers team that looks like they're just pounding them?
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: That's what it was, right? Hey, I'll tell you this.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Seats to see the World Series in Milwaukee, a healthy
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: four figures. Milwaukee doesn't have that problem. I don't think
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Cleveland does or will have that problem if they advance.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: The Razor, kind of a unique story right now, and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: we covered them quite a bit the other day in
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that storyline, and we can do it again if it
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: comes up. I mean, you know what else doesn't help, AJ,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: when the league's just running ads saying the sport stinks
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and it's broken all year. I mean, never a really
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: good job promoting the game. I love it and have fun.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So I think we should have commercials saying this game's awesome.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: We should do more of that. That usually helps. Marketing
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: is good. When you say our game's sweet, you should
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: come to the games is usually the way to do it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Here's Bob Nightingale, 49,104. They do have the biggest seating
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: capacity in MLB, and also the Dodgers lead in attendance
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: every year. But Bob said they failed to sell out
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: any of their four postseason games at Dodger Stadium.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: That's a little bit of something.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think we might be reading a little bit
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: too much into this, which is fine. but you know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: there was the, there was a thing in Atlanta for
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: years that every, you know, they wouldn't sell out their
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: games in Atlanta because, and then even, I think St.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Louis got caught in this one time, you know, game times, whatever,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: five o'clock, it was five o'clock on the West coast.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. What was it? 49,000? That's still
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: pretty good. I'm just saying.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: It's more than.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: It's still pretty good. Way more than... It's only, I guess, 24,000.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: By the way, Mark in our own chat said that
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: it would never happen in New York. There's been some
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: empty seats in Yankee Stadium, Mark. Don't kid yourself. I've
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: seen them.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Also, jaded.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, eventually you become a jaded fan base. That
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: is a component. Like... Some people were saying in the chat, oh,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: they're saving up for later rounds. Houston used to have
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that for a little bit when Houston kept winning. And
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: then early rounds, it would be– I think they still
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: either sold out or got close to it, but it
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't the same until you got deeper into the playoffs
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and then it got crazy and people would be like, yeah,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the CS or the World Series.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: It's partially a thing. It's funny because you watch a
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: game at home. Ratings are good.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You can't just spend on every game. I mean, for
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: normal fans, you can't just buy tickets to every game.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: So I think there's an aspect of that. There's also
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: the aspect of, I think the crowds change per round.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: The first round in some places, the crowd is like
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: ruckus because it's like, okay, these tickets are affordable. By
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: the time you make it to the World Series, that
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: crowd's a little bit more of a hoity-toity. I'm here
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: for the experience. I'm here for, you know, I have
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: the cash to get into this game type of thing.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: So there's so many different things. It was a little
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: bit cherry picking. There's no players out on the field
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: when he took that picture. The upper deck down the
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: line always takes a little bit. I know they didn't
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: sell out, but let's make sure. Because you're always going
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: to find some type of negative. Oh, ratings were down. Oh,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: ratings were up, but attendance was down. I have a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: hard time until I see the full final numbers to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: see where I was at, at all the fields. Yeah.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Do we have another question? If you have one, Jerry,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. Otherwise, just to cap this off to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a great point in the chat from someone that said
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: it'll be cheaper. Ricky said it'll be cheaper for Brewers
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: fans to fly to, say, Tampa and buy a ticket
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: than buy tickets in Milwaukee. That's true. That happens actually
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: all the time. Like Knicks fans dealt with that for
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the last few years, not even the title year. I
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: went to Indianapolis one year for Knicks Pacers because you
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: could do a whole trip for a 10th of the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: cost of just a get in price to Madison square garden.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And yeah, for brewers fans, start looking up some flights.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: If you're like, yo, I can't pay five G's for
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: a good seat. I'll go on the road and I
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: can do that whole trip for a quarter of that
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and watch a world series game with my team. Think
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: about it. I love that. That's a fun trip.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Who doesn't want to come to Tampa? Go down to Tampa.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, St. Pete. Who doesn't want to come to St. Pete?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, who doesn't want to come to God's country?
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Everybody does, Scott. Cleveland. Cleveland, Believeland. As Joe Kim Noah
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: once said, as I told Kip today, ain't nobody said
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: they ever want to go on vacation to Cleveland. And
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I actually like Cleveland. I always had a good time
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: in Cleveland. So I'm one of the few. I would
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: concur with that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, on the way out here. Yeah. One more, uh,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: see Carrera often in the chat said, Murphy said, bottom line,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: they got a lot of hall of famers. We got
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of gamers. It's a fun line.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: That's Murph.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Murph knows how to take like, He knows what he's doing. Again,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: he knows how to motivate his guys. You know, you've
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: been around him. He's always looking for anything, any little
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: edge that he can say to get somebody to just
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: be a little bit, you know, the scratch. You played
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: for him, man. He says things, and he says things
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: in a way to make people try to be just
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: that much better. And if that much better wins him
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: a game or wins him a series, he's all for it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: He'll do anything for that. And I love it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Kratz, I have a take to finish up here with
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of sizzle to it. I did not
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: like Pat Murphy's slogan with the boys last year. This year,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: it's more like the confidence, the gamers. Last year, it's
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: like nobody knows who we are. I like more of
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the we're going to come punch you in the face slogan.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I know that doesn't necessarily win or lose you games,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. I mean, the team sees everything
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that the manager says. I just felt like last year
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: it was like, nobody knows who we are and it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the no names or everyone. And that's fine. I mean,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: it was kind of entertaining to see, but this year
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it's like, nah, we're really good. And we have our
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: own brand of baseball and it's going to work to me.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: That just felt more confident.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: A few of the players didn't like that. A few
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: of the players were like, no, we'd rather be the
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: confident group that we are. Cause they were confident last year,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: but If you say things and I'm not into like, oh,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: you speak it into existence. But if you talk about
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: things and you have a mantra, as you say, like
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: if you have a mantra of, oh, man, we're just
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: the average Joes. I'm like, what, bro? Like I want
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: an MVP. What? I was an all-star. Like all this stuff,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: confidence goes a long way. And I couldn't agree with
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: you more that like you have to have that almost–
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: ignorant confidence know that you are better than them no
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: matter what's happening around you and like i mean they've
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: they just every step of the way so far this
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: season they have shown that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yep it's the right slogan it's the right team it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the right time and we are going to have a
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: very unique world.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Series win our way what do they say win our
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: way and they win they win their way they do
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: what they do win the games win our way is
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: their slogan It's all over the dugout. It's all over
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: the stadium. And you know what? They're doing it. So
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: give them credit. I'd love to be in Milwaukee game
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: one and game two. That place is going to melt.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I hope the roof is like, I hope just the
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: windows are open and the roof is shut. Fly on
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: up there, Krabs. Yeah. I'm busy.
