10/28/26 - Hour 2 · The Huddle

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: On this day that might be the last day of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the baseball season.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: We hope it is.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: And then let's plan a parade and a celebration. How
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: do you want it to go down tonight? And what
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: are you more worried about going into this game? The Brewers' bullpen,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss' pitching side of it, or the offense? Because
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the hidden, the people are like, oh, they shouldn't have
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: gone to drawing. Ortiz shouldn't have thrown that ball away. Yes, maybe, yes.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: But the hidden reason for that loss is the 0-for-22
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: loss combined for Bowers, Yellich, Contreras, Terang, and Mitchell. Yeah,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and the only other hits that you get, I think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you get four hits for the rest of the lineup
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in 30, what, 35, 37 at-bats. You know, the two
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: from Churio, you leave them out there at second base,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: which would have been a great insurance run and a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: prime time to be able to have one. You just,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you can't, and I can't say you can't because they're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: up 3-1 here, right? Their only home runs are coming
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: from a 7, 8, 9-hole hitter. And now the Rays
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: haven't necessarily blasted a ton. They lost the one game
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that they did, and Homer gave them a 4-0 lead
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in the first inning. I'd say the biggest one is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you can't get behind early with....
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Miz then getting ousted, right?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Like Miz can't go two and two thirds, give up
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: four and Rasmussen's cooking through five. Cause at that point, Drew,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: then a lot of the mathematics changes to where you're at.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Bullpen wise, you start getting real taxed after you felt
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like you couldn't have been in a better situation coming
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: off the off day and the blowout. I think the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: biggest one is you get down early, absolutely you can
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: come back. We've seen this team be able to scrap
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and claw and be able to put together runs a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: lot of different times. But I think the big one
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: is if you give up runs early and then instantly
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Mizorowski's out of the game, that's going to set yourself
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: up for a really, really difficult slot. Yeah, I agree
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: with that. I mean, you want to see the elite
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Mizorowski that we still haven't seen in the playoffs yet.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I think that's the main thing. He was struggling to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: put batters away in that first game. Obviously, they still won.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But if you can get the elite Mizorowski, you can
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: do a lot to help your ball club. The offense
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is something that comes and goes. You did get a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: little bit from other guys last night. What I would
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: be concerned with the offense is I would want them
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to keep the same– aggressive mentality of taking pitches, putting
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: pressure on walks, and not kind of fall into a trap.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I felt like they fell in the last five, six
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: innings last night, which was maybe trying to take big
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: swings for the fences, although it didn't eventually work. They
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: had to get that homer. But you want to see
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the Brewers still have that consistent pressure with trying to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: get walks, trying to tax a beleaguered pitching staff. Obviously,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you have Rashford tonight on short rest. So if you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: can find a way to do that, because the Brewers
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: were tagging some balls early last night that just didn't
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: fall for them. A little bit of, you know, hard
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: hit bad luck there. I want my guys to focus
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, just keep the process. Still trust in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: what you do. Those balls will fall. Keep working the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: counts in your favor and let Miz do his thing. Again,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for the numbers, maybe put you at ease or maybe not.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Only four other teams that were down 3-0 even survived
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: game four to force a game five.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And none of them won game five. None of them
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: won game five.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It was 1910, 1937, Bernie Carbo in 1970 with the Reds,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and Anthony Rizzo in the 2024 Yankees. And the most
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: recent one, those 2024 Yankees, you mentioned the Rizzo hit.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The Yankees then did exactly what I just explained, went
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: up early on the Dodgers in game five. I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they hit them for two or three runs in the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: first inning. And then that's the game the judge drops
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the ball in the fifth inning. The Dodgers played five,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: flipped the scoreboard, and what looked like a celebration euphoric
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: night at Yankee Stadium, quickly they got resigned to the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: fact of, oh, wait, we are still down 3-1, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: now we're going to lose the World Series, and we're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: going to have to watch them celebrate on our turf.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: As much as.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: The excitement and the energy and the Mother Mo can
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: flow in a baseball game and a series... I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: baseball is the hardest one to be able to hold
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that momentum for throughout. I mean, look at the crew
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: last night. They have a C on the west side
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of Florida of Brewers fans. Momentum was only as good
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: as your throw over from third base. That's right.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite, and Jason Stark's the man, because
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the guy who scored the winning run for the Rays
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: was their backup catcher, Nick Fortes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: He had never pinch run in his life, and he
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: pinch runs for the first time in his career and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: scores the winning run in the World Series. That had
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: never happened before. I don't think any catcher pinch running.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, I would have thought at that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Point it could have been one of their relievers.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The other hidden moment for me is, and I chuckled
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to myself, is that Andrew Vaughn comes up to pinch hit,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: sees two pitches. Brad gets thrown out stealing. And his
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: at-bat is over, and he's burned for the game. Yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's a bummer.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Because he came out. He didn't stay in the game.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: He's burned for the game.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So you get, like, it's not a played appearance, but
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you get a game played. And in the box score,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it's like you didn't, you know, there's not an at-bat, really.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Like Larry Yount? Yeah, kind of.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It's like one of those, he's like in this.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: It's a phantom, it's the invisible batter, kind of.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And it didn't feel like, I know this is illogical
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and just emotional, but didn't it feel like he was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: going to come up big? I just had that feeling
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that Vaughn was going to hit something hard. If Pratt's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: at second base, I think he's getting a base hit. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think that way I would have said that he
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: would have. But again, like, I mean, Baker was right
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: at the tail end of his night.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: He hasn't been... a two-inning guy really ever in his career.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And was that right after the deep flyout or was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Mitchell's flyout to Mullins? I thought that was the same one, right?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. I really can't, but I think
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it was. That he tags to deep left field? Because
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Cooper's hustling back to first. You're immediately feeling pretty confident
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that you're going to get some kind of good wood
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: on this thing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And the fact that it was just... You know, Vaughn
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: hadn't gotten a chance to hit yet. He's been going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: well all year. I just felt like he was going
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to go up there, you know, not hacking, but he
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was going to be a hitter and.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Find something to hit and hit it hard.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Rasmussen, the righty Drew, would probably preclude you from starting Vaughn,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but would you be tempted to get him in there
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: earlier tonight?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'd be tempted for sure.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But you know, they're not. Bauer's two for 15. Bauer's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is just so cold. You got to at least drop
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Bauer's in the lineup or do something because that's what
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I would do. But don't you think they're going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: get a lefty in there at some point anyway? They
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have a lot.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Of lefty open guys. So, yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But the Vaughn do-si-do where you get, you know, you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: get a game played but no played appearance. There's no at-bat.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of when I was in the hole
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: at fantasy camp. And when you get hit by a pitch,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you get to stay up. I'm the third batter. I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: standing in the on-deck circle at the start of the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: inning and warming up, getting ready for my at-bat.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Right there.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You're in the ticker. A guy gets hit by a pitch.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Then he strikes out. And then a guy grounds into
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a double play. And the third batter never reached base.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And he never reached the plate. I never got to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the plate. I'm like, and I remember pleading my case
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to Eddie Cedar.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: He's like, only at Fantasy Camp. Only at Fantasy Camp, guys. Guys,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of standing around, guys. I'm like, oh, my God.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: But that's how Vaughn had to feel. He gave you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: a double wave right back to the bench. Did you
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: play in the World Series? Well, technically, yes.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I was up there, kids. I'm in the team picture.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I saw two pitches, but I didn't get any. I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: got a game played, but no stat. Maybe he's the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: only one okay with it going five so he can
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: get a chance.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding. Obviously, he's not.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But that is kind of one of those footnotes of history, possibly.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Insanity. All right, kids. Let's sit around and watch dads
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: at bat in the World Series. Wait, the tape go out?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Two pitches. Nope, that was it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Kind of a funny story. He's Moonlight Graham, according to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Mark and Madison. I hope that one of those photographers
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: got a picture of me up there, right? Did you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: guys snap one? Did anyone get one? Photo lane two? Anybody?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So what is the big concern tonight? To me, Miz,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you'll know right away. What's he got tonight, right? How's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: he doing?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Is it another 26 pitch first inning? That wouldn't be good.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You don't want that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Like, even if I said, you know, they get down early,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it's probably the pitch count gets high early, right? Like, again,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: because if it's a two-run lead, that's fine. You're going
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: up against an incredible stud over at Drew Rasmussen. But
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you dragged him for three and two-thirds, and he didn't
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: get out of the fourth inning in game two. I'm
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: not all that worried about being able to get to him.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I think his innings are going to be very, very difficult.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: You got to get six from Miz because the length
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is the biggest part.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That's the biggest part because you're depleted tonight. You'd rather not.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Use Ashby, but you could maybe for an inning.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Ashby, Uribe, and McGill and Romero.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I say Ashby is kind of questionable, but otherwise it's Romero, McGill,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and Uribe. And that's what you're trying to use for
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the back end of the game. So I think he
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: has to give you 18 outs. I think the Joker's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a good guy to be able to turn it to, right?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he gave you two innings in game four
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in LA and was massive. And he definitely, he's just
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: very deceptive. You have really good lefties coming out of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the pen. Hall obviously threw a bunch in Ashby, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they all have different arm angles and different slots. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: think Romero's is maybe the funkiest that would be the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: best change up right after Miz. He's topping out at
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: 94 or something. Let's see that after you watch a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: hundredth run go right by your tower every single night.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I would like the ball right at Yandy Diaz's hands
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in the first at bat though. Fastball and whatever you have,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he's hanging out over the plate Test them quick inside.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying up and in. I'm not saying high
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and inside.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sending that thing right at the upper inside corner,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: right at the hands. Just to see and let you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I do have 103. Because if you leave it out
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: over the plate, you've got to imagine he's hacking and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: trying to go 1-0. He's trying to swing immediately and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: grab a T-bone steak right after and juice up the protein.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So you got to keep that thing high and inside
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: because otherwise you leave it out over the plate.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: That thing very much might end up in the bleachers.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some other odd concerns I would have is maybe if,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the Caminero thing is interesting. Like, he definitely
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: look hobbled last night. I don't know. Doesn't seem healthy
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to me. But if he, you know, woke up feeling
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: good and had some inspirational return for them, was feeling
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: better in the lineup, making big plays, that could be
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a momentum thing. I was listening last night right here
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: on FSR. John Paul Marossi was on. And he was
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: saying that he thought the way the comeback worked out
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: for the Rays works in their favor. because then they
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: give momentum to their hitters and get them feeling good
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: because they came back hitting in the ninth, that it
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: was more of a one game by them and not
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a loss game by the Brewers. But I never really
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bought into that. I mean, you could have said the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: same thing after the Brewers game in game three, like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: after scoring 10 runs and with an offensive outburst, is,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you know, is the lineup's momentum, is hitting momentum really
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a thing from one game to another? I think it's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: something we think about as being, you know, logical, but
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think it really works out that way most
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of the time. No, the Brewers had, like we said,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: 9 for 18 with runners in scoring position. They barely
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: had any runners in scoring position last night, 0 for 3, right?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: It meant nothing for the next day.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: It was a little bit like chasing points or better
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to talk about that a little bit. I just don't
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: see that as.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Being a thing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: At his media availability, Kevin Cash, manager of the Rays,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: just said he was asked if Nick Martinez would be
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: available after pitching two innings last night. Nick is in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse right now with a stim machine on his
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: arm and no shirt.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: He's ready to go, pumped up.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to hear from all of them
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: at some point throughout the day that they're good to.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Go and eager to help in whatever way possible.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. When you're facing elimination, it's all
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: hands on deck. That is the number one reason Miz
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: didn't pitch last night. And in a way, it's all
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: easier decisions for him. I mean, obviously, you don't want
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to be down 3-0, 3-1.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: You have to win today.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: We have no choice, so we're going to try it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You have to.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And then figure out tomorrow, tomorrow. That's all you can
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: do if you're the race. And that's why Miz didn't pitch.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I know people wanted it. Would have been a good story.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: It would have been a phenomenal story. Would it have worked?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe. Is it a risk worth taking? I don't think
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: so when.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You're up 3-0. No, it's not. It would not have
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: been worth it. If it was 2-2. Uh, if I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: think only like game seven, maybe.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought maybe like, cause again, the situation maybe
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: two one, but again, it's the tough thing is you're
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: sending him in, in a situation that he has not
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: pitched in, in the big league. Well, I shouldn't say
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in the big leagues, he pitched out of the bullpen
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs. So he's done it in
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that role, but not in over a year when he's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: become the Miz.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: He was Jake.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He was Jake Mizorowski a year ago. Now he's the Miz.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Now he's the Cy Young award winner. And that's a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: different beast to have on a mound that again, this
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: is my bigger concern early for Miz too. I watched
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: five different guys walk up there and have problems with
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the mound. Good point. They had McGill come out and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: had finally some service man come over and rake that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: thing and dump a bunch of diamond dust here and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: try to hammer the clay back in. But my man
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: picked up like a, it looked like my notepad here.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It was bigger.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Of a wood chip. It was big as my board.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: That would be my bigger concern that is not in
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: your control, Drew. He's always had problems with that landing
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: spot and mound. I want that tested very early here today,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and that could.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Be my only.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: That'll be the thing. Drew Rasmussen's only 6'1, so they're
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: not going to be stepping in the same hole.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Touching the same spot. Not touching the same hole. Uh-uh.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: No.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: They're not. So, tamp it down, get it ready. But again,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: nobody does.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: So, all these other mounds that, again, you don't see,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: if he's not on it, a lot of times these
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: teams and grounds crew members aren't going to keep that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: spot as normal for landing spots because nobody's reaching as
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: far as he does. You bat in the seventh inning
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of a softball game, especially if they're the fourth game
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of the night, you got some craters that you're stepping in, right?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Especially at 39th and Burnham over here, you know, it
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: West Milwaukee Park Burnham Park when you're playing the Milwaukee
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: League media league with usher Mike is the umpire no
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you're right I mean Billy that's a great point I
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: mean that he took a chunk out of that earth
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like it was crazy last night and I just remember
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it was Angel Stadium where Miz was first having those
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: issues talking about how bad the mound was and so
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: yeah something last year in Cincinnati I don't think he
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got out of the first inning because he was kicking
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: around the dirt the whole time stuff like that something
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: quirky like that you worry about And I guess if
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the pressure's off for the race because they're down, they're like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: all right, we're just going to go for it. In
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a way, it could affect it, I guess. Who's more
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: likely to pitch tonight, D.L.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Hall or Brandon Woodruff?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's a good question.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: William, I'll let you answer first. Who are you talking
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to saying that name? I think, yeah, sorry. I would
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: say D.L.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Hall. I'd love to say Woodruff. But I think you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: saw that. I think you got what he wants. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: maybe he's available in game six. Maybe if it would
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: be an extra inning situation back home. But I just
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: don't know how he's ready to give you 20 pitches again.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I hope that arm is as
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: good as ever. But I don't know that I'm thinking
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he's getting anything more than one more additional spot. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I think that's got to be game six. Yeah, I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: think it's DL. Also, because it's a lefty matchup, you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: might need a lefty. And he's more used to giving
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you multiple kind of innings or multiple, you know, more length.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: So I don't think going back to back. Hall threw
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a 24 last night. Yeah, you can go back to back.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: That's an inning and two-thirds. Woodruff is all in uncharted
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: territory right now. So you don't really know what to expect.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Woody would have came out last night?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the Drew show, they're like, yeah,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know what? We're not messing around with a lefty
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and a rookie that's never been there. Woody has not
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: pitched on back-to-back days in 10 years.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: We still feel more confident about him.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt talking to the boys on MLB Network right now.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Your boy Bob Nightingale just had a sweet picture of him, though.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Rookie sensation, Cooper Pratt. Before game five, how's he spending
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: all those nerves? I think he just had a more
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: nervous situation when he asked Ken Griffey Jr.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: one of his heroes, for an autographed baseball. Nice.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Game five of the World Series. You're 22 years old.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: What's the number one thing you're trying to do before
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: game five? I'm trying to get that guy's autograph.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Junior. Let's go.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That's an amazing picture as he's standing over there like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: any kid would be having their hero sign a baseball.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: That's just wild.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling HVAC.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Experts, employee-owned DonovanJorgensen.com. The website. Billy, who are you liking?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I got a little who's hot, who's not update for
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: your injury report. If folks didn't know, the Packers play
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a big game coming up tomorrow. And we did have
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: three guys ruled out earlier on, which are going to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: make some very interesting conversations coming up for tomorrow night's game. Out,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin. I expected that. He's got a hairline fracture
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in his shin. Out, Sean Ryan. We know that he's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: got a high ankle sprain. Did not participate all throughout
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the week. The one that is maybe a little more surprising,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: DNP for the third straight day.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Right guard, Travis Glover. He is listed as out. Are
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: we sure it's Mr.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Zeitler?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Or could it be Aaron Banks?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Or could it be Lincoln Tomlinson as your right guard
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and Aaron Banks back at his normal left guard spot?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Warm-ups for the offensive line maybe has never been more
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: enticing and intriguing. Coming up as tomorrow night, the Packers
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: take on the Panthers in a game you feel like
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you got to win. A team that just comes in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: after giving up 253 yards on the ground to the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Buccaneers four days ago. And you have Josh Jacobs playing
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: his first game in 2026 on Lambeau Field turf.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Good time to get Kevin Zeitler in there to be
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: able to run behind. But we'll see. We'll see. I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: excited to see. The other ones are questionables.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Limited participant for the second straight day, Anthony Campbell, Brenton Cox,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: as well as questionable D.Y. Devontae Wyatt logged a limited
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: participation in their walkthrough today as well. He is listed
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: as questionable. All three of those guys up front on
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the defensive line, they probably need. But good news here
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is that Matthew Golden also listed as questionable.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: He did return.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: To practice technically today on the walkthrough, but it is
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a very much question as they walk into tomorrow. Will
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they have Matthew Golden or not? Matt LaFleur was asked
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: about it. He said, we'll see.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks, Coach. We'll see. Who's hot? Who's not? Not
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: that answer of we'll see.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Not hot.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Anybody going to the game tomorrow night because you're going
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to watch the Packers and Panthers the day after the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Brewers win the World Series.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: That'd be pretty sweet. Should be a fun way to celebrate.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Make for a special tailgate party. Who's not hot?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: The Miami Heat, the Brooklyn Nets, the New Orleans Pelicans.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: The Sacramento Kings, all winless on this NBA season.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: And talk about winless. Who's hot?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, keeping his job as the play caller for
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the winless Los Angeles Chargers. Coming out of there by
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh said, yeah, he's our play caller.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: He's not moving. That's wild. I would have thought for
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: sure he'd be bounced.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And final one, who's not hot? All of us that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: love Inside the NBA, who's hot? The legend, the icon,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee's own Ernie Johnson. The legend. As he announced on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: his social media a couple hours ago that this is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: his final year hosting Inside the NBA. Let everyone know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: It was his decision. He said it was just time.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: 70-year-old Johnson said he will continue NCAA men's basketball tournament
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: coverage on CBS and Turner. And he is also working
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: more on his 32 bow ties production company that focuses
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: on more heartwarming stories.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: In all of sports. So he's doing a little shifting.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: But last year on Inside the NBA, that's who's not
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: for all of us. Because that means that we are now,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the clock is officially ticking on how many times we
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: get to watch the greatest sports television show ever put together.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: No question.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, this run, this Brewers
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: run is about the fans and the longtime fans. getting
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to the front of the line. There are few fans
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: more passionate than our pal, Trenny Casey, NBC Sports Boston.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: She's in town wanting to party with her people.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: And she's going to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Join us next from an undisclosed location. You're in the huddle,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports. The last game that'll be played in Tampa
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: this year, no matter what. We are talking about it,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: getting ready for it. We're savoring this whole experience. And
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: as we said before, it's about the true fans. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: on line one, the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line, a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: true fan, our pal Trenny Casey, by way of Muskego, Marquette,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and NBC Sports in Boston, is in Milwaukee to be
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: with her people during this wonderful time. She was at
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: games one and two. She's here to party with people
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: hoping to clinch tonight. Trenny, thank you for joining us.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the good land.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Guys, I'm so tired. I'm so tired, but I don't care.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I haven't slept this little, and I don't know how long,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: between the NLCS and this, and obviously the NLCS, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: that felt like it was so quick. Even the NLCS,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh my God, I'm up every night.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: The games were so late. I need them to win
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: tonight so I can sleep again.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at least you're on the Central Time Zone.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you sickos on East Coast time
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: have to do it and watch these games.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: My wife said the same thing to me this morning, Trenny.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: She said, I just need them to win so I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: can sleep. I just need it to happen so I...
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I haven't gone to bed before nine o'clock in like
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: three weeks. That has never happened to me before. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it would be nice, not only just the intensity, but
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to be able to take back the normal hours. But
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: one extra night, maybe at a local establishment, celebrate with
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the locals. It's a good way to celebrate your return
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to the.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Good land, right?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was back and forth, back and forth. Do
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I fly to Tampa and try to go to Tampa
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: and get tickets there? Or do I come home and
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: watch it with my family? So yesterday I watched with
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: some good.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Friends from here.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: My sister and my niece came down, old college friends.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: So that was awesome. Tonight, my mom and dad, my aunt, uncle,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: my brother, my sister-in-law, we're all going out.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: We're all going to watch it together.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: We're going to do it in the third ward. I'm
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: super excited. And then I just thought about it. I
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: was like, it would be so fun to spill out
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: into the streets of Milwaukee if they win. And honestly,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I was going to come back to Milwaukee anyway because
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I have tickets to game six and seven tonight. So
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: if for some reason they wouldn't wrap it up in Tampa,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: then I'd have to get.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Back to Milwaukee anyway.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: And I was like, at some point I have to
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: stop hemorrhaging money. This is not the time.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: We'll at least cut a little bit of money out
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: by not spending like $ 1, 000 on a ticket and.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: In Tampa and like two more, three more airlines.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. Just spend it at Joe Katz
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on a celebration. I think it's, it's running neck and neck,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: but I think he can get into the trap tonight
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: cheaper than you can get into American family field for
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the brewer's official launch party. It's getting close.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, really? I didn't look. I've actually been checking.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: It's funny.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: I guess I've just been curious, like what they get
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: in the door prices.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Um, um, in, in Tampa because for game three, it
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: was super cheap. It was like 350 bucks or something
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: you can get in the door. Um, yesterday it was
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: more like eight to 900. I don't know some people
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: who didn't want to sit in like really crummy seats.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: So they paid like a little over a thousand, um,
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: for their tickets. Um, but I didn't look to the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Brewers do something about people reselling their tickets. They don't
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: control the universe.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: There's nothing they can do.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: But I do think it's pretty crummy that people are
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: reselling $ 15 viewing tickets. That's a chance for a family
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: who can't afford to go to an actual game to
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: be in the stadium.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: And do it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: It's a nice family-friendly atmosphere. And now you're trying to
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: gouge people at $ 250 a ticket. There's a special place.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: In hell for people like that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's that serious.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I agree with Trenny.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Is it that bad?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's like scalping tickets to family night at Lambeau.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: They're scalping tickets for $ 15 tickets for $ 300, Armin.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the market's rate. How would people have reacted,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: given the way the secondary market is, if the brewers
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: had put these tickets up and it was $ 100 instead
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: of $ 15? They could have done that. They could have,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: because people are buying them for $ 300. Or they could
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: have sectioned it more. Yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know what you're saying, Trenny, but everyone
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: wants to be part of it right now. Right now,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: for getting the doors. I know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: But it's also a money-making thing. Like, I don't mind
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: it as much for the actual.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Game because you're paying for, like, you pay.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: A premium for premium events, right? Like, and you are
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: actually going to be in the building when something happens. But, like,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: to me, to Drew's point, like, a viewing party at
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: the stadium is supposed to be for families, right? But
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: to me, when you only charge $ 15 to get in
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: the door, that is saying, hey, we know everybody can't
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: afford to.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: Come watch an actual game, but we're going to make
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: it this amazing family thing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: But that's why I don't like it. You can charge
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: how much ever you want for your actual game tickets. Like,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: that doesn't bother me.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I agree about the bots. If it wasn't for the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: bots and stuff. If it's like transfer to transfer, I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm seeing get in the door price right
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: now at the trop under $ 300. $ 288 cheapest on SeatGeek.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Cheapest in the lower bowl is $ 450.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Shut up.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Stop it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Really? Yes.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Don't get on the plane, Joe. You're here now. A
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: lot of Wisconsin people only plan to go to three
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and four.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You want to be here. You want to be a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Cass.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: You want to be a Joe Cass.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Trenny Casey joining us. Trenny, what's it like watching the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: game with you? Are you stoic and reserved like a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: media member? Are you full on, full throated Brewers fan?
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, full-throated. My voice is recovered. When I went
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: back to work on Monday, a guy at work was like, hey,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: are you coming down with something?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: And I was like, no, dummy. I'm a Brewers fan.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Everybody knows I was X Games 1 and 2. I
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: was screaming my head off. I had the time of
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: my life.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: It was so much fun to be in the building and.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Get to see so many people. True, I'm bummed that
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I didn't get to see you. I thought maybe I'd
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: see you at the ballpark.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I should have looked for you. You weren't far from
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: me either.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: You know what? I was actually like right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: So the seats that I got are right below where
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: the auxiliary media is.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Because you guys are like an ex-golf, right?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. On the club level.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Is that where auxiliary media is?
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Ex-golf and adjacent. The patio adjacent.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I'm one level below you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: We were in 232.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I should have come looking for you. Because I knew
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: you were by the Sutton family.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I was, right in front of the Sutton family.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Right in front of Steph.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: We have the Brewers lineup tonight. Murph didn't get the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: memo from me to drop Jake Bowers out of the two-hole.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Come on, Pat.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Churio, Bowers, Yelich.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I would have moved him.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: He's really struggling.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Contreras, Terang, Freelick, Pratt, Mitchell, Hamilton.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Is your lineup behind Miz tonight? So Sal keeps moving
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: up is what I read. Sal's moving up in Cooper.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: But Cooper, I mean, but if you just react.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I do wonder though, Drew.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Like part of me wonders like, is he just hopeful
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: that Bowers just gets back to his like being a
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: little more judicious with how he like his at-bats and working.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Like a classic at-bat. Not so much that he's going
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: to come through with like a big home run or
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: a big hit. And does he like stacking the bottom
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: of the lineup with.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: His best hitters?
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: I know that's sort of counterintuitive, but not your best hitters.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: But guys who can actually do something. The thing that
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: I think has separated the Brewers from.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Other teams is that when you get to other teams' 7, 8,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: 9 hole, it's near automatic out. With the Brewers, there's
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: no real automatic.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Out in the lineup.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. I wonder if there's a message
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: with Madness.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: That's what it would seem. He does like having the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: speed at the bottom. And it reminds me of, you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: hamilton's like a second leadoff hitter in front of sure
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: it is you want churio you want him there because
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: if hamilton gets on it's almost like every single he
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: gets is a double because he can steal second and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: if any of those guys get on in front of
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: him he's not a great punter as murph will continually
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: tell you but he's the willing one and we'll put
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: it down and if you can get anybody in scoring
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: position in front of babe churio right now it's probably
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the best of the opportunity.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: It's probably a good call that is a good call i.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Just feel like some days guys are gonna hit or
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they're not so he's gonna be in the lineup he's
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be in the lineup you That's the thing, Trenny,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: for last night, everybody focusing on Drohan and Ortiz's error,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: but it was the law firm of Bowers, Yellich, Contreras, Terang,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and Mitchell that went 0 for 22, that doomed them
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to their.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Fate last night.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, listen, that's the heart of your order.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: And when they have an off night, there's just not
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: a lot you can do, right?
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: There's just, I don't know. I feel like.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: When they scored 10 runs in game three, I rushed
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: to change my plane ticket to come home, come.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Back to Milwaukee from Boston.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: And I was like, you know what, though? They're probably
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: not going to.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Win game four because I feel like every.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Time a team scores a bunch of runs, the next
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: game they play is like they cannot hit the broad
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: side of the barn.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: I just had this feeling. It's like you use up
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: all your hits in one game.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something to be said for that. The old
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: dad joke of they should have saved a couple for
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: yesterday was an easy one to rip out in the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: sixth inning. Trenny, people tell stories about, and I get it,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: David Ortiz is sitting on the sideline.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: He's doing the games for Fox.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: People act like the comeback against the Yankees that the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Red Sox had never happens all the time. I know
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Kevin Millar had the statement of don't let us win tonight.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And he's walking around doing the MLB Network one. But
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: being in Boston, do people talk about it all the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: time like people do at this moment? or is it
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: something that people are right now we use this word
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and I think it's very apropos Wisconsin fans somewhat fetishize
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the losses in these big games, the big collapse. We
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: like to talk about them and say it always happens.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: It's coming already.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I have people ask us where we're at in the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Seattle NFC title game right now from last night. Like
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: this would be the John Ryan fake punt touchdown. But
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: does it get discussed in lore as much in Boston
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: or not that they've won so much? Is it just
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: another little foot anecdotes part.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Of the story?
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: See, it's a foot anecdote, because it was so important
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: to their franchise. They had gone to the World Series,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: and Drew, you remember this better than I, because they went, obviously,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: in 86, and did they even go again after 86?
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: That was it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Where they lost to the Mets, and then not again
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: until 04. But prior to that, they had.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: had some opportunities in the 60s and then.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Again in the 80s to make some hay. So the
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: 86-year drought from the trade of Babe Ruth, people still
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: talk about how they came back and how monumental.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: A moment that was for not just the Red Sox,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: but for the city.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Of Boston and all the other sports teams. But it's
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: not like how... I mean, they've won three others since then.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: But that's still the most talked about. Like, no one
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: ever talked about 07. Like, 07 feels like... Sometimes I
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: forget that.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: The Red Sox won the World Series in 07. That's true.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: It's a lot.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But, yeah.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Well, it's all happened. Also, Armin, it was like.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Like, I couldn't even tell you.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: I know they beat the Colorado Rockies.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Who were on, like, long rest.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rocktober.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: But, like, I don't... Yeah, that was kind of a meh.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: People talk about this, who wants to watch the race
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: in the brewery?
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: It's like, no offense, but I don't think I really
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: gave a crap about the Red Sox Rockies.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: Back in 07. But on the flip side, people talk
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: a lot about 2013. That felt like a team of destiny.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Because the marathon bombing had happened in April. And David
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Ortiz was like, they carried the city. And this is
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: our bleeping city. People even talk less about 2018. And
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: that team was a wagon. The 2018 Red Sox won,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: I think they won 108 regular season games. And then
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: they beat the Dodgers in five games in the World Series.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: And I kept saying, and I think Drew were texting
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: about this today, but last night when we were watching...
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: The game, I was like, God, this reminds me, when
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: they were in extras, I was like.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: This reminds me so much.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Of the Red Sox 18 run. Because I remember they had,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: I thought they had that really long game. I thought
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: it was game four, but it actually was game three,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: and the Red Sox were up 2-0.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: And the Dodgers were trying to get.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Back in it, and they depleted their pitching. And that
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: didn't just affect game four, it also affected game five.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: That's right. The trickle-down effect of the Dodgers having to
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: put all their eggs in the game three basket had
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: long ramifications for the rest of that series. And I
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: kind of feel that way. Last night when this was happening,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: my husband, who is the most wonderful human on the planet,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and it's.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Just like, go do what you need to go. I'll
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: stay back with the dogs. Go enjoy yourself. said, oh
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: my gosh, are you okay?
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: How are you doing after this loss? And I was like, honestly,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I kind of thought coming. The whole time it felt
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: like it's okay. They've still set themselves up, I think,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: to be in a really good position.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: With these last three games.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I don't think there'll be three more games.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, the 0-4 Red Sox, the comeback, it
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: was predicated.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: You had your Bucky Bleep and Dent moment where the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Yankees stole their lunch money in the 70s. And then
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the year before was the Aaron bleeping Boone home run.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Game seven.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: 11th inning of game seven, they lost a chance to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: go to the World Series with a good team. So
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that was like a cathartic payoff. And I also think
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the rivalry factor adds a different pucker.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Factor that there can't be in this situation. Maybe I'm wrong.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: A thousand percent. So here the Brewers are.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Truthfully, if you want like a Red Sox Brewers comparison,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: I would look more at the Brewers beating the Dodgers.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: as akin to the Red Sox coming back down 303 to.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Beat the Yankees.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Because the Yankees had been a, I mean, those two
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: teams were battling it out. It's like the evil empire
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: of the Yankees to like, I mean, Boston's kind of seen,
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: Boston Kind of the Milwaukee of the East Coast to.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: New York, like Milwaukee is to Chicago.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: That's Boston to.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: New York City.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: New Yorkers kind of turned their nose down on Boston.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: It's not a real city, right? And so to me,
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: that's how the Dodgers.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Fans and people looked at the Brewers.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: But to me, that's a more accurate comparison is that series,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: those series than this.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Trenny, on the way out here, what are
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about Miz? You saw him pitch in game one.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: He hasn't been himself in the postseason, really. He hasn't
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: been as dominant as he was on a Tuesday night
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: in July. But he's still pretty good. What are you
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: expecting out of him? Our thing here, I think we
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: all agree that he's got to get him 18 outs.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: He's got to get him through six, no matter how.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: But he's got to get him through six. What is
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: your expectation for Miz tonight?
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: I'd love to see him get through at least five.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: If he can get on six, that is unbelievable.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: But I'd like at least five. I actually didn't mind
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: how he looked in game one of the World Series.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: I know his velocity was down, but his location was better.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: And I said to my brother, I went to a
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: big game with my brother, and my brother was like, oh,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: my God, he's only hitting 100 or 101. And I
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: was like, I honestly think that's by design. Because he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: reaching back and hitting 103, 104 when he has to.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: But in the CS, in the LCS.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: He was throwing such gas that he wasn't locating his pitch.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: To me, he pitched in game one.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: He didn't throw.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: And that, to me, is the difference. The Miz that
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: was good this year, yeah, he drew heat. That's obviously
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: a big part of his game. But part of the
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: maturation of him and why he was better this year
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: and why he's probably going to be the NL Cy
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Young winner, it's partially because he throws 105 miles an hour.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: But it's a bigger part to me is that he
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: was able to locate his pitches. He wasn't throwing 30
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: pitches in the first inning and only making four innings.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I felt like he was getting a smarter, more
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: well-rounded pitcher this year. And so to me, if he
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: can go out and kind of replicate what he did
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: in game one, I think they're going to be in
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: pretty good shape.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I think so, too. Who's your MVP?
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Don't try to throw that speedball by him.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Nice Bruce reference for Murph. I love it. I love it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Trini, who do you got for MVP if the Brewers
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: were to wrap it tonight?
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Do you know who I want to see and who
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: I thought should have been the LCS MVP? Aaron bleeping Ashby.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: I might put like 20 bucks on Aaron Ashby who's
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: like plus 3,000 right now. If he goes out there
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: tonight again and shuts them down, how.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Do you not name a guy that has single handedly
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: helped you win every single game in the series?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: And the series before that. Yes, thank you.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Somebody on this show fully agrees with you. That was
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: why the $ 26 investment on Aaron Ashby to win the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: World Series MVP happened last night. I think he's been
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: way too dynamic and way too special to not be
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: in the case, but we'll see.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Hopefully, the good champagne problems happen.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: You know, who knows?
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: It was Frank Peralta in the ALCS, so why can't
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: it be Aaron Ashby?
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Totally.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Trenny, thank you for joining us. Let's enjoy this ride.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Stick in town. Hopefully the Brewers will win.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And you can be in town for the parade.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I'll text you later.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Because hopefully we can meet up.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: I want to see you.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Definitely.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: See you later tonight.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Bye, buddy.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Trenny Casey, NBC Sports Boston number one Brewers fan in
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the Boston area.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Gotta be. That is so, so good. You are in
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: 920.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Mitchell Berman.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Game five tonight. Packers, Panthers, tomorrow night we'll be having
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: our attention. In fact, we only have a one-hour show tomorrow.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: And that's good.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Very excited, too, because hopefully we can celebrate for a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: hot hour. Brewers World Series championship and then get you
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: over to Packers football and conversation. But Drew, I almost
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: just got caught as I am. I'm definitely into this
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Packers Panthers game because there's some revenge on the mind
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: of the Packers from a year ago. Also, this wraps
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: up the second quarter of the season and you very
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: sneakily could come out of it three and one. Three
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: wins against the NFC, albeit a frustrating loss against the Lions,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: but very, very big for playoff positioning.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: But it's got caught again.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: This Matt and Mike LaFleur thing is really, really throwing
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: me off on news, especially when in the Twitter space,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: everything is very quick and just one-liners.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: LaFleur, love will be limited today on the practice field. Wait, what?
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: What?
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I miss the LeFleur RB. Love will be limited in
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: practice today. Hashtag Arizona versus Dallas. I remember this summer
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: thinking that's going to confuse me a lot this year
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: at the worst time. And this is the first example.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I already got heartburn all day.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Right, I know.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: It would be really nice if this would not happen.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Just drop of the hat at any moment. Let's squeeze
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: in a quick call.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Bob is on the NicoletLaw.com talking text line. What's up, Bob?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: From San Francisco.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Bob, welcome to the huddle.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm following the Brewers. They remind me so much
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: of the Giants 10, 12, 14 when they won the
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: World Series. Bruce Bochy was a great coach. The team
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: just played so well together. They played smart. I'm following
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: the Brewers because the Giants were one of the worst
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: teams ever in Major League Baseball last season. It was
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: a horrible, horrible season. Since I'm a sports nut, 84
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: years of age, I've played every sport known to mankind.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I've played a little professional ball and all that bullshit,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: but it was... It was a, it's always fun to
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: follow great teams and the Brewers. I'm watching them and
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: I'm saying to myself, God, they remind me so much
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: of the Giants when they won the World Series.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: We'll take a.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Three World Series in six years.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Bob.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: I would take that.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Also, the thought of three and five years, I just
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: got captivated with the idea, but the those teams were
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: really young initially. And then all of a sudden they
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: grew into like the veteran elder Statesman. And it was
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: kind of just a big old core of guys on
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: that giants group.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Look what you did.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: And I, Matt Vaskersian was kind enough to be a
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: guest on the beyond the booth podcast with.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Me and Wayne Larrabee, Wayne Larrabee and me, Wayne Larrabee, that, that, that, that, that,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: that me.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Uh, But he said that, too. We were kicking that around. Like,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: they're going to be good for a while. They're not
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: losing anybody. They got these guys wrapped up. And how good,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: as good as Churrio is now, how good is he
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: going to be in five years when he's 27? Yeah,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and how good is that middle infield going to be
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: if you got a kid that's 22 years old hitting
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: almost go-ahead clinching home runs in the World Series? Oh.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: when jesus my day is the one uh tag teaming
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: him with the double play tandem like they got guys
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: coming in what that you know giants team did as
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: well is they recycled dudes in and out right like
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: they had the first one was the cane and lincecum
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: by the end of it it was mad bum as
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: the main main attraction so that's a fascinating one also
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: would have loved to ask bob if part of the
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: reason yeah the murph and bocce connection he loves sports
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: i know he played every game under the sun i
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: bet he was a dog, too.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I bet Bob was ripping people up in football.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: You can tell Bob was a dog.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Bob knew what was up.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: But also, when the Brewers just swept the Dodgers off
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: this earth, I wonder how much the NL West was like, eh,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Might be my second favorite team now. I think they've
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: been terrorized by those guys in blue for far too long.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Giants and Dodgers is a real rivalry.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And I assume that that NLCS may have captivated his
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: fandom too. That's an interesting group because you don't ever
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: hear them talked about as like dynasty, but that's three
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: and five years because all those titles were kind of unique.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: They also missed the playoffs in between each one.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly. It was Posey, then it was Pablo Sandoval, Kung
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Fu Panda, then I think like Brandon Crawford. It was
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: kind of a random collection of titles.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: And with Madison Bumgarner.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with obviously all the pitchers. So Kane, I don't know.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I think they should be pretty thankful. Well, what they
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: also did have was a future Hall of Fame backstop.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: And maybe the crew should keep their guy.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Good one.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I like that. When we come back, Shanna Quinn is
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: going to drop on by. I haven't seen her in
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a while. You guys welcomed her last week when I
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: was out.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
