0:58
Speaker 4: your respect.
0:59
Speaker 3: Bill Schmidt. That son of a gun is thick.
1:01
Speaker 2: And Armin Sarian.
1:03
Speaker 3: Daddy Sarian.
1:03
Speaker 2: Welcome to the huddle.
1:19
Speaker 5: It's Contreras. Hacking one down the line. Long run for Mesa.
1:24
Speaker 5: Not going to get there. This time they had to
1:26
Speaker 5: be sure. Mesa juggled the ball. Throw goes to second.
1:30
Speaker 5: They'll get Contreras, but Milwaukee gets the run.
1:34
Speaker 2: To middle and through, Bryce Corain drives home Chariot, drives
1:36
Speaker 2: home Yelich, 4-0 Milwaukee, left shot, that's through, here comes Contreras,
1:37
Speaker 2: he'll score without a throw, and the Boers lead game 3-5-0.
1:56
Speaker 2: And that's a fair play! And the merry-go-round's spinning for Milwaukee.
1:58
Speaker 4: Two-goal, one score, and a blue.
1:59
Speaker 3: Barrage in the fifth inning of game three.
2:01
Speaker 2: Towards the left field corner, that is six consecutive two-out
2:03
Speaker 2: base runners for.
2:03
Speaker 3: The Brew crew.
2:04
Speaker 2: They just will not be denied. Hamilton has a base
2:05
Speaker 2: hit of his own.
2:06
Speaker 6: Into center field.
2:23
Speaker 2: And it just keeps on rolling. Freelance in to score.
2:27
Speaker 2: A seventh two-out tally. Lifted the other way. Misses on
2:33
Speaker 2: the move towards the gap. Incredible. All the way from
2:39
Speaker 2: first comes David Hamilton. Double digits in game three. Flip
2:46
Speaker 2: down the line. Out comes Freelick. Sal Freelick, sprawling catch.
2:53
Speaker 2: Little bit of everything tied, huh? Rhonda grabs him towards
3:03
Speaker 2: the middle. Terrain cuts it off.
3:05
Speaker 3: And the Milwaukee.
3:05
Speaker 5: Bulls with one of the all-time World Series beatdowns.
3:10
Speaker 4: 10-1.
3:11
Speaker 2: They out hit Tampa Bay 16-3. Look at these Bulls fans. Unbelievable.
3:16
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.
3:17
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like this.
3:19
Speaker 6: In my life.
3:19
Speaker 3: This is amazing how many Milwaukee Brewers.
3:21
Speaker 2: Kevin is a Milwaukee Brewer takeover.
3:26
Speaker 3: Welcome in to what could be a historic day on
3:29
Speaker 3: the huddle. The Tuesday edition from headquarters, Drew Olson. Bill
3:33
Speaker 3: Schmidt back from the drop. Come on, baby. Armin Sarian
3:38
Speaker 3: back from American Family Field. We had boots on the
3:40
Speaker 3: ground all over the place yesterday. Hunter was there, of course.
3:43
Speaker 3: Bill Schmidt. Going to Tampa for the one day in
3:46
Speaker 3: and out. Armin Sarian enjoying the watch party with 30,000
3:50
Speaker 3: of his closest friends. Just watch me over. Watch me
3:52
Speaker 3: in it. Watch me in all this feeling. Solo, boys,
3:55
Speaker 3: solo uno mas. I've been practicing my Spanish. Solo uno mas.
3:58
Speaker 3: Great work, yes. Should I take over for Daniel? Solo
4:00
Speaker 3: una victoria mas hasta el cielo. Only one more victory
4:06
Speaker 3: until heaven. That's good.
4:07
Speaker 7: Until heaven. I like that at the end of it, man.
4:10
Speaker 7: Baseball heaven. Baseball heaven is within our grasp. Drew, as
4:14
Speaker 7: you're working on your Spanish to be able to walk
4:16
Speaker 7: us in that way, William Contreras has been working on
4:18
Speaker 7: his English to be able to unleash a beautiful interview
4:22
Speaker 7: with Yonder Alonso last night on MLB Network, walking himself
4:25
Speaker 7: through his at-bats, his pitch framing. Man, it is a
4:28
Speaker 7: glorious time to be a fan of this team, and
4:31
Speaker 7: you're one win away from From finally being able to
4:35
Speaker 7: shed the one most ugly, heinous thing anybody can ever
4:39
Speaker 7: say about your favorite team is that you could never
4:42
Speaker 7: win it all.
4:43
Speaker 3: That's it.
4:43
Speaker 6: I mean, you can get rid of that thing forever.
4:45
Speaker 6: No fan base could throw that in your face anymore
4:49
Speaker 6: if they're trying to talk trash. So what did Steve
4:51
Speaker 6: Young say after the Super Bowl 94? Get this monkey
4:54
Speaker 6: off my back. I think that's the hope.
4:56
Speaker 3: You know, one more. Just do it. Get it done.
4:58
Speaker 6: And yeah, the William Contreras thing was cool, but... We've
5:01
Speaker 6: got to make sure Daniel DeManister still has a job.
5:03
Speaker 6: I don't want anyone to take– I like his vibe.
5:05
Speaker 3: No, he'll be fine. Yeah, keep him around.
5:06
Speaker 7: Actually, I think the CBA says you have to have
5:08
Speaker 7: a translator. Yeah, and with his pipes– He's so good
5:11
Speaker 7: at it. I was going to say, with his pipes,
5:13
Speaker 7: he's sticking around for a while, no doubt about it.
5:15
Speaker 3: So last evening was spectacular. The fifth inning was one
5:19
Speaker 3: for the ages. In this incredible run of moments, we've
5:23
Speaker 3: got the hallmark moments. What was your favorite moment of
5:25
Speaker 3: this run? I mean, going back to the cheerio at
5:28
Speaker 3: bat against the Padres– or even the ball hitting the wire,
5:33
Speaker 3: Mitchell's catch against the wall, Robin Machado. Amazing. I mean,
5:36
Speaker 3: there's been so many of them. It's been so ridiculous.
5:39
Speaker 3: I mean, they won after the check swing to walk off,
5:45
Speaker 3: the double play that wasn't. There's just so many of
5:48
Speaker 3: these moments that are all going the Brewers' way. The
5:50
Speaker 3: Brewers haven't lost a game in nearly a month. That's
5:53
Speaker 3: the wild part. Only one, yeah, one singular one.
5:55
Speaker 7: And it's the one loss that's keeping tonight from, I believe,
6:00
Speaker 7: being burger night at George Webb's.
6:01
Speaker 3: Right. You're right. They've lost one since September 23rd. They've
6:06
Speaker 3: lost one game.
6:07
Speaker 6: That's just so incredible. I mean, here we are on
6:09
Speaker 6: October 27th talking about it. And it's one thing to
6:13
Speaker 6: make a run like this and to dream of it
6:15
Speaker 6: and getting through the getting through the playoff rounds, winning
6:18
Speaker 6: a pennant, but to do it without losing games.
6:21
Speaker 7: But to do it as the best team and the
6:24
Speaker 7: hottest team.
6:25
Speaker 3: That's the thing. They say, do you need to be
6:27
Speaker 3: the best or do you need to be the hottest?
6:29
Speaker 3: Right now, they're both. It's incredible.
6:31
Speaker 7: There's freight training through teams at a historic pace, and
6:34
Speaker 7: last night's the only one where the scoreboard reads it
6:37
Speaker 7: as the blowout and the thumping that it was. And
6:41
Speaker 7: for them to be able to put it on, a
6:43
Speaker 7: raised team that was the best in the class of
6:46
Speaker 7: the American league. And then for Brewers fans to be
6:49
Speaker 7: able to celebrate and enjoy it the way they did
6:52
Speaker 7: last night at the trop and then at American family
6:55
Speaker 7: field and that Kelly's bleachers and where else the deer district,
6:58
Speaker 7: wherever else I saw everyone watching it, man, it's been
7:02
Speaker 7: kind of cathartic, I think for the state. And there's a,
7:05
Speaker 7: when I was with you guys yesterday, I said, there's
7:07
Speaker 7: been a special and unique relationship with this organization and
7:12
Speaker 7: and the fan base, and it's flexing its muscle here
7:15
Speaker 7: as they're the first team to ever sweep the LCS
7:19
Speaker 7: and not only have a chance to sweep the World Series, Drew,
7:23
Speaker 7: they're the only one to go up 3-0 in the
7:25
Speaker 7: modern time. And you're now going from, do you believe
7:29
Speaker 7: that they can win it, to do you believe they're
7:31
Speaker 7: one of the best teams and greatest single-season runs of
7:35
Speaker 7: all time?
7:36
Speaker 3: It is a historic rate that they're running through a
7:40
Speaker 3: league that has just not seen this kind of dominance
7:42
Speaker 3: in a while. 10-1 in the postseason. They've won eight
7:45
Speaker 3: in a row. A win tonight would wrap it up,
7:47
Speaker 3: and it would give them the longest winning streak in
7:50
Speaker 3: a single postseason. That's unbelievable to think about. In baseball history.
7:54
Speaker 3: Of all the teams, all the champions, that's hard to
7:57
Speaker 3: think about. It's incredible. Tonight will be a rarity during
7:59
Speaker 3: this run because in nine of 11 games in the postseason,
8:04
Speaker 3: they faced an all-star starting pitcher, a former all-star starting pitcher. Oh,
8:07
Speaker 3: coming in? What was that?
8:09
Speaker 6: Yeah.
8:09
Speaker 3: In nine of the 11 games. They have faced a
8:12
Speaker 3: starting pitcher who has been an all-star.
8:14
Speaker 7: And not one of them has gone, what, more than
8:17
Speaker 7: a snell into the seventh when they tag him for
8:20
Speaker 7: the back-to-backs?
8:22
Speaker 3: That's the only one. The starting pitchers against the Brewers
8:25
Speaker 3: in the postseason are averaging four innings. Their ERA is 5.63.
8:29
Speaker 3: The Brewers are batting. 272 with a. 755 OPS against
8:35
Speaker 3: starting pitchers. The quality starting pitching that you fear in
8:39
Speaker 3: the postseason?
8:39
Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
8:40
Speaker 3: Brewers, champions fear no one. They've run right through. They're
8:43
Speaker 3: just running through it. That's the wild thing.
8:44
Speaker 7: And they've done it better at flying in the face,
8:46
Speaker 7: something that John Smoltz definitely doesn't like, but with just
8:50
Speaker 7: a ridiculous bullpen. And then last night beat you with
8:53
Speaker 7: a starting pitcher that once again in this run, this
8:57
Speaker 7: greatest run in franchise history that's going to culminate with
9:01
Speaker 7: either tonight or tomorrow, them winning their first world championship.
9:06
Speaker 7: The one year that you had to sacrifice... the one
9:09
Speaker 7: year that you had to sit out and watch everybody
9:11
Speaker 7: else play in the playoffs, you ended up out of it,
9:13
Speaker 7: out of it with William Contreras, who for my.
9:15
Speaker 3: Vote, I'm glad I don't have a vote. Tough one.
9:17
Speaker 6: Yeah.
9:18
Speaker 3: Tough vote. That would be, he'd be my world series.
9:20
Speaker 3: MVP would be William Contreras. I'm with you.
9:23
Speaker 7: And then your best starting pitcher on the route to
9:27
Speaker 7: the world championship is the guy that you get in
9:29
Speaker 7: the centerpiece of the deal for hater with the Padres
9:33
Speaker 7: who goes on the road and And is your game
9:35
Speaker 7: three nailed down lockdown dude and Robert Castor. It's incredible
9:39
Speaker 7: of how one L and the most frustrating year that
9:43
Speaker 7: people could not fathom thinking of how on earth is
9:45
Speaker 7: this going to be better than having a three game
9:48
Speaker 7: lead over the Cardinals on July 31st.
9:50
Speaker 3: Man, see the forest through the trees. Damn sure. Right.
9:54
Speaker 3: They did.
9:54
Speaker 7: And David Stearns, that was the the last move i
9:57
Speaker 7: believe really he made as gm of the brewers it
10:01
Speaker 7: was the one that people were the most upset about
10:03
Speaker 7: and it might be one of the greatest crowding achievements
10:06
Speaker 7: for him that's.
10:06
Speaker 6: An amazing thing that to note and an amazing thing
10:09
Speaker 6: to articulate when you really think about the twists and
10:11
Speaker 6: turns of how this whole journey has gone over the
10:14
Speaker 6: years obviously not just this year and And that Ader trade,
10:18
Speaker 6: that was so litigated. That was so emotional for so many.
10:21
Speaker 6: Could turn out better in that sense that no one
10:23
Speaker 6: would expect. I mean, I don't think gas was on
10:26
Speaker 6: many people's radars coming out of spring training in that sense.
10:28
Speaker 6: You know, we did talk about him a little bit,
10:30
Speaker 6: but it was like, all right, well, where could he
10:32
Speaker 6: fit in?
10:32
Speaker 3: Maybe the bullpen. He's just become so important.
10:35
Speaker 6: Now he's got that whole kind of Old West, Wild
10:37
Speaker 6: West mustache and hair going on. Like, he's just so
10:41
Speaker 6: calm up there. He's been the best brewer starter in
10:43
Speaker 6: the postseason. It has been incredible. and um good flow
10:47
Speaker 6: just the flow is beautiful and the way so yeah
10:49
Speaker 6: the way william's been handling these guys man and then
10:52
Speaker 6: you have churio with four hits last night um yeah
10:55
Speaker 6: he's incredible he's making a late push but to me
10:57
Speaker 6: it's contrarious for the complete games blocking balls.
11:00
Speaker 3: Throwing guys out on their bases yeah calling the game
11:02
Speaker 3: and just being their their rock so it's a good
11:05
Speaker 3: problem to have you argue about who's the mvp uh
11:08
Speaker 3: one more win For the Brewers to put a stamp
11:11
Speaker 3: on things. Billy, did you go to Ferg's Bar yesterday?
11:13
Speaker 7: You better believe I went to Ferg's Bar yesterday.
11:15
Speaker 3: Ferg's Bar is like the bar close to Tropicana Field.
11:18
Speaker 3: It's like a 34-year-old establishment. It's like one of the
11:21
Speaker 3: bigger sports bars in that area. It's like two blocks.
11:24
Speaker 3: The report from Ferg's last night, yesterday they went through
11:27
Speaker 3: 1,000 cases of Miller and Coors Light, which is normally,
11:32
Speaker 3: at that very busy establishment, a one-month supply in one day.
11:37
Speaker 7: Drew, I'm glad that what I was watching happened because
11:41
Speaker 7: we pull up two Fergs right around. I jumped on
11:44
Speaker 7: with you guys, what, 325 yesterday?
11:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:47
Speaker 7: So we were there for about an hour before I
11:49
Speaker 7: had jumped on with you guys.
11:50
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could tell. Well, I saw
11:52
Speaker 3: you had a beer, but you were off the clock.
11:53
Speaker 3: It's all good. It sounded good. Okay, good.
11:56
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:57
Speaker 3: We had a couple two-tree at that point.
12:00
Speaker 7: And at that moment, when we got there at about two, Drew,
12:04
Speaker 7: the keg of Miller Lite and Coors was already tapped.
12:07
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
12:08
Speaker 7: The cup was already on the tap, and they were
12:11
Speaker 7: rolling through as many possible slates and pallets of Miller
12:16
Speaker 7: and Coors as they could. They couldn't put them into
12:18
Speaker 7: the water and ice fast enough for people to walk
12:20
Speaker 7: away with buckets.
12:22
Speaker 3: But, man, that's what happens.
12:23
Speaker 7: Yeah. That's what happens when you put... and advertise it,
12:29
Speaker 7: buy four, get one free. If you just say the
12:32
Speaker 7: buckets of beer are $ 20, people go.
12:35
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, no. All right, I'll get my bucket. I
12:37
Speaker 3: don't know. Are we at $ 4? Or get one free.
12:40
Speaker 3: I got the free one. Oh, all right, sweet. I'll
12:41
Speaker 3: get the free one. Now you get the free one
12:43
Speaker 3: next one.
12:43
Speaker 7: So then it just became a competition as to how
12:45
Speaker 7: quickly you could run through them so everybody got a
12:47
Speaker 7: free one.
12:48
Speaker 3: Those two words, free beer, have a Pavlovian reaction. It's unreal.
12:52
Speaker 3: Friend of show Bob Nightingale walked by there two hours ago,
12:55
Speaker 3: took a picture of Brewers fans pre-gaming. Eight hours before
12:58
Speaker 3: first pitch, the place is full of Brewers fans drinking. Dude,
13:01
Speaker 3: just loaded.
13:02
Speaker 7: I ran into two of my high school football coaches there.
13:05
Speaker 7: I've already gotten texts from people that are down there.
13:08
Speaker 7: A friend of mine I went to college with moved
13:10
Speaker 7: to Tampa, and he said, well, that's supposed to be
13:13
Speaker 7: like their rallying spot.
13:14
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
13:15
Speaker 7: Our friends at I Heart Tampa. were doing a live
13:18
Speaker 7: show on the stage. And, like, I don't know how
13:22
Speaker 7: they could do the show with the amount of Let's
13:24
Speaker 7: Go Brewers chants that were flooding through their entire broadcast.
13:27
Speaker 3: It's just incredible.
13:28
Speaker 6: And you're trying to get a sense of how many
13:30
Speaker 6: were there because, excuse me, the yellow flags were kind
13:33
Speaker 6: of throwing people off because everyone assumed they were Brewer fans.
13:36
Speaker 6: But it did seem like you know, with the cheers,
13:39
Speaker 6: the cheers made it obvious how many brewer fans were
13:41
Speaker 6: in the house last night there. And I just felt
13:45
Speaker 6: like the exaltation from, the fans in St. Petersburg and
13:50
Speaker 6: the fans in American family field was this kind of
13:52
Speaker 6: like concerted chorus that was working together of thousands of
13:58
Speaker 6: miles apart, but coming up and just at the same
14:01
Speaker 6: time with a full release, especially I really felt like
14:05
Speaker 6: when Cooper hit that double, when Cooper's double went down
14:07
Speaker 6: the line, you knew that thing was going to be
14:09
Speaker 6: over and you knew you were going to go up 3-0.
14:11
Speaker 6: That was the full release for the crowd at American
14:14
Speaker 6: family field. So I can only imagine it was just,
14:17
Speaker 6: Absolutely bonkers as well in St.
14:18
Speaker 3: Petersburg at the Trop.
14:20
Speaker 1: Awesome.
14:20
Speaker 3: Armin was at the watch party with family. Pretty epic
14:24
Speaker 3: experience for you.
14:25
Speaker 1: Yes.
14:25
Speaker 3: Awesome. And what a great, what a great job they do.
14:29
Speaker 6: I mean, the brewers, I mean, it goes without saying,
14:30
Speaker 6: if you've been to a watch party before, I don't
14:32
Speaker 6: remember if I had been one there.
14:33
Speaker 3: I've been to one.
14:34
Speaker 6: If I serve for the bucks finals, they do such
14:36
Speaker 6: a great job. They did a live Anthem. They did
14:38
Speaker 6: obviously sausage race while out the barrel. Mark Richards was
14:41
Speaker 6: doing the PA for lineups and stuff like that. It
14:43
Speaker 6: was just fantastic. They had the entertainment staff out there,
14:47
Speaker 6: and obviously the game went the way everybody wanted it to.
14:51
Speaker 6: And then it seemed like a mad rush to try
14:53
Speaker 6: and buy as much gear as possible. I mean, they
14:56
Speaker 6: are slinging so many cotton T-shirts and so many hats
14:59
Speaker 6: and so many jerseys.
15:00
Speaker 3: It's fantastic.
15:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was just a fantastic experience last night.
15:04
Speaker 3: Awesome. All right, you can reach us, 877-794-1973. Share your experiences. Now,
15:10
Speaker 3: last night was a night for the old guys, the
15:11
Speaker 3: captains kind of. Her pitch the 9th. Which was special.
15:16
Speaker 3: Soiled the shutout, but who cares? He was just grooving it.
15:19
Speaker 3: Hit it as far as you can. Sick bat flip
15:21
Speaker 3: down 10-0 on a double. That was pretty funny. Wow,
15:27
Speaker 3: here we go, man. You got my attention as well.
15:29
Speaker 3: You're trying to fire yourself up, I guess. The crux
15:32
Speaker 3: of it, the nexus point, the victory came when Christian
15:35
Speaker 3: Jelic did what Christian Jelic does. Busted his ass. on
15:39
Speaker 3: a play, seemingly, you know, routine play, busted his ass
15:43
Speaker 3: to second base. Not only busted his ass, they're not
15:45
Speaker 3: holding him on. He gets a huge secondary lead. He
15:48
Speaker 3: goes balls out, gets into second base, and a close play.
15:52
Speaker 3: Caminero probably should have gone to first base, right?
15:55
Speaker 7: I was going to say, man, that overhead shot really
15:58
Speaker 7: looks like it. He should have gone to first, but
15:59
Speaker 7: he goes to second. Yelich beats it. It's initially ruled out,
16:03
Speaker 7: no inning, still 2-0, tenuous. And then, oh, upon further review, Murph, like,
16:09
Speaker 7: Yellich kind of knew. He felt like he had beaten it.
16:11
Speaker 7: He waved it right away, and you could almost tell
16:13
Speaker 7: Murph's like, all right, I'm going.
16:15
Speaker 3: To take his word for it. So that just got
16:18
Speaker 3: me going. And then after that, the at-bats were just insane.
16:21
Speaker 3: Terang's at-bat. He spits on two sweepers, and he's just
16:25
Speaker 3: like waiting. He's like, okay, if you throw that first strike,
16:27
Speaker 3: I'm going to tip my cap and go get my
16:29
Speaker 3: glove and go play defense. And he didn't. And then
16:32
Speaker 3: he spits on those two, gets a fastball, and rifles it.
16:35
Speaker 3: And then it's just game on, just boom, boom, boom.
16:37
Speaker 3: And it was just, I started to think, and this
16:40
Speaker 3: morning I had the privilege, the honor, of recording a
16:45
Speaker 3: Beyond the Booth with Wayne Larravee podcast. Let's go. Come on.
16:47
Speaker 3: And we cajoled our friend Matt Faskersian to be the guest. Oh, beautiful.
16:51
Speaker 3: How about that?
16:52
Speaker 7: Fantastic.
16:52
Speaker 3: And I told Matty what I was thinking as I
16:54
Speaker 3: was watching that inning, and he agreed. He talked about
16:56
Speaker 3: how Matty had said, you know, if you've got a
16:59
Speaker 3: player who's U12, have him watch the Brewers. If you've
17:01
Speaker 3: got somebody in your family who's a U12 baseball player
17:03
Speaker 3: going trying to make the travel team or whatever, have
17:05
Speaker 3: them watch the Brewers and the way they play. It's like, yes.
17:08
Speaker 3: Their entire team and their entire season is a Tommy
17:10
Speaker 3: Manske video of how to play the game, how to
17:13
Speaker 3: cut bases, how to, you know, cutoffs and relays, play
17:16
Speaker 3: good defense, especially in the thing that I'm, the thing
17:19
Speaker 3: that I'll remember most about the season is their uncanny
17:22
Speaker 3: ability to not chase balls out of the strike zone,
17:25
Speaker 3: which everybody else does. That's the one. Look at, look at,
17:28
Speaker 3: there was, somebody did a, a hot zone freeze chart
17:31
Speaker 3: of the hits, the eight hits in a row or
17:33
Speaker 3: seven hits in a row in that fifth inning. And,
17:36
Speaker 3: Every pitch was in the zone. There was one that
17:38
Speaker 3: was maybe an inch or two on top of the zone,
17:42
Speaker 3: but they were all strikes. They swing at strikes. Sounds
17:45
Speaker 3: like the most basic thing in the world. Not everybody
17:47
Speaker 3: does it.
17:47
Speaker 4: Right.
17:48
Speaker 3: And that's what they do.
17:50
Speaker 7: And for it to say like, well, yeah, anybody can
17:52
Speaker 7: tell people to not swing at balls. Well, look at
17:55
Speaker 7: Andrew Vaughn last year, who's one of their most important
17:57
Speaker 7: players and one of their biggest acquisitions. What was the
18:00
Speaker 7: one coaching point that he talked about that Murph told him? Hey,
18:02
Speaker 7: you chase, you're going to be a triple-A. Swing and strikes,
18:07
Speaker 7: you'll play here. And that's their whole recipe, Drew. And
18:10
Speaker 7: for three pitches... To then go with three hits into
18:14
Speaker 7: that run of seven consecutive hits that you mentioned where
18:16
Speaker 7: they scored the eight runs.
18:18
Speaker 3: It really was.
18:18
Speaker 7: It was, we now have Cat on the ropes who
18:20
Speaker 7: has not allowed an inherited runner to score in the playoffs.
18:23
Speaker 7: I think Boozer had allowed two inherited runners. Again, they
18:26
Speaker 7: ran through the best guy. Well, their best starters were
18:29
Speaker 7: Rasmussen and Peralta. Yeah, Boozer gave up one hit, I think, right? Yeah,
18:33
Speaker 7: and he had given up two inherited runners all year.
18:36
Speaker 7: And you scored all three.
18:37
Speaker 3: Well, an inning or inning and a third, he only
18:39
Speaker 3: gave up one walk, I think. That sounds right. Yeah,
18:41
Speaker 3: I've been touched. And, again, it's like not only is
18:46
Speaker 3: it what the Brewers are doing, but they're doing it
18:47
Speaker 3: like the lefty on lefty. And we talked about how earlier,
18:51
Speaker 3: even in September, I'm like, why is Murph letting Garrett
18:53
Speaker 3: Mitchell face a lefty here? He's got Vaughn.
18:55
Speaker 7: He's got Sanchez. They had Lockridge at that point. I'm like,
18:57
Speaker 7: what are you doing? That's what he was doing. Doing
19:00
Speaker 7: it exactly for this moment. So that those guys can
19:02
Speaker 7: hit and get their hits.
19:03
Speaker 3: It's insane.
19:04
Speaker 6: The lefty on lefty has been a big story in
19:06
Speaker 6: this postseason, the performance lefty on lefty. And, you know, it's,
19:10
Speaker 6: it's the simple, like you said, not swinging at balls.
19:12
Speaker 6: It's the easiest thing to say and understand. It's the
19:14
Speaker 6: hardest thing to actually put in practice. And the Brewers
19:16
Speaker 6: have been great at it, you know, and they have
19:18
Speaker 6: to do it obviously one more time, but that's the,
19:20
Speaker 6: that's the main thing. They put themselves in so many
19:22
Speaker 6: advantageous positions at the plate and everything matters this time
19:26
Speaker 6: of year. And they all, which is a good example.
19:28
Speaker 6: everything matters. If he knows his runners and he throws
19:32
Speaker 6: to first instead of second to get Contreras, who's not
19:35
Speaker 6: as fast, obviously, that's the play there, but you have
19:37
Speaker 6: to know your runners.
19:38
Speaker 7: But also, that's the pressure that they put on you
19:41
Speaker 7: because they force you to make a sped-up decision every
19:44
Speaker 7: single time. And I don't know if it was just
19:46
Speaker 7: because it was in three pitches and it was in
19:48
Speaker 7: a blink of an eye, but as it happening... When
19:51
Speaker 7: Freelick doubles and they finally go to the pitching change,
19:54
Speaker 7: I looked up at the scoreboard and that's how I
19:56
Speaker 7: realized that they had just played at six and the
19:59
Speaker 7: game had completely gotten out of hand and it was 8-0.
20:02
Speaker 7: You don't realize how quick it was in the moment.
20:06
Speaker 7: You then, I grabbed our binocs because I wanted to
20:08
Speaker 7: make sure that I was able to get a little
20:09
Speaker 7: bit of our seven-story up look like we do at
20:11
Speaker 7: the Packer games. And man, you look into that raised
20:14
Speaker 7: dugout and it looked like they had just caught the
20:17
Speaker 7: thickest uppercut to the jaw.
20:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.
20:19
Speaker 7: Of not understanding and realizing what had just happened in
20:22
Speaker 7: the span of about five minutes.
20:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's in real time. Yeah, that's what it was. Boom, boom, boom.
20:27
Speaker 3: It was epic. That might have been the greatest half
20:29
Speaker 3: inning in Brewers history. Hard to top, man. Hard to top.
20:33
Speaker 3: Hard to top at that level. And to go from
20:36
Speaker 3: two outs with no runs in to eight runs. It's
20:41
Speaker 3: absolutely absurd. I mean, seven hits in a row. In
20:44
Speaker 3: a World Series game, it's like hitting a lotto.
20:46
Speaker 6: It is.
20:46
Speaker 3: You couldn't dream of an inning like that.
20:48
Speaker 4: It is.
20:48
Speaker 3: Now, here's the thing. You mentioned Tampa looking all shell-shocked,
20:51
Speaker 3: and they are. They're dazed and confused. Cash was asked
20:55
Speaker 3: something about how can you not be kind of dazed.
20:58
Speaker 3: How can you not be caught back? How can you
21:01
Speaker 3: not be taken aback? They're not a bad team, just
21:03
Speaker 3: as the Brewers weren't a bad team when they got
21:04
Speaker 3: swept by the Dodgers last year.
21:06
Speaker 5: No.
21:06
Speaker 3: They just ran into the hottest team on the planet
21:08
Speaker 3: for those four games. That's what the Rays are finding
21:10
Speaker 3: right now.
21:10
Speaker 1: Right.
21:10
Speaker 3: They've run into, although this run is more than four games,
21:14
Speaker 3: but the Brewers are the hottest team conceivable. Vas Gershon
21:17
Speaker 3: said it today. There's not a team like last year's Dodgers.
21:20
Speaker 3: Nobody's beaten this Brewers team. The 27 Yankees probably wouldn't
21:24
Speaker 3: beat this Brewers team. This is, and it's going to
21:26
Speaker 3: go down, and it will start to. Boog Shambi was
21:29
Speaker 3: the one that I first heard with Buster Olney last
21:32
Speaker 3: night talking about it. You really do just put the
21:35
Speaker 3: historical context together with the run differentials, the wins.
21:38
Speaker 7: The sweeping their way through and potentially going 11 and one.
21:43
Speaker 7: through the post season, uh, they're going to put themselves
21:46
Speaker 7: in with some of the greatest teams of all time.
21:49
Speaker 7: And it is because they're the best team in the
21:51
Speaker 7: league playing the best. They're the hottest and best team.
21:55
Speaker 7: And all of the bites at the apple that you have,
21:58
Speaker 7: you hope to be able to have the best team. Well,
22:00
Speaker 7: they had, I think, you know, statistically the best team
22:03
Speaker 7: a year ago, they definitely weren't the hottest team that
22:05
Speaker 7: was LA this year at times up. And, uh, you're
22:07
Speaker 7: going to do something incredibly historic. And all these cats
22:11
Speaker 7: are never going to have to buy another thing in
22:12
Speaker 7: their entire lives here in Milwaukee.
22:14
Speaker 3: So Armin is still not ready to even unwrap the
22:16
Speaker 3: victory cigar. Billy and I got the lighter out. It's
22:19
Speaker 3: in my mouth already. Oh, yeah. Come on now. Armin's
22:22
Speaker 3: not ready. I know. Here you go, Armin. I know
22:24
Speaker 3: it's close. It's math. It's math. 25 times in the
22:28
Speaker 3: World Series, a team has jumped to a 3-0 lead.
22:31
Speaker 3: And only four of those teams lost game four. Okay. Okay.
22:34
Speaker 3: I like these numbers. Only four lost game four. That's
22:37
Speaker 3: hard to believe.
22:38
Speaker 4: 21-4.
22:38
Speaker 3: And that's what you hope. You hope that they took
22:40
Speaker 3: away the will to raise last night. So only four
22:42
Speaker 3: times out of 25 has someone forced a game five
22:45
Speaker 3: down 3-0. That's hard to believe.
22:46
Speaker 4: Wow.
22:47
Speaker 3: And no team has ever forced a game six. My goodness.
22:50
Speaker 3: Down 3-0. No team. There's never been a game six
22:52
Speaker 3: in a series where somebody.
22:53
Speaker 4: Had a 3-0.
22:54
Speaker 3: And these are great things. They just saved a lot
22:55
Speaker 3: of people a lot of money in this town. Very true.
22:58
Speaker 3: It saved a lot of people a lot of money
23:00
Speaker 3: this weekend. You can see the price for the parade
23:02
Speaker 3: route and the parade seats.
23:05
Speaker 7: We're going to get one more time. Only $ 500 parking
23:08
Speaker 7: on the parade route. We'll find a way.
23:10
Speaker 6: Well, it's all contingent, but I agree with everything you
23:13
Speaker 6: guys are saying. But it's all contingent.
23:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Brewers put the shoe on. Bob Nightingale
23:18
Speaker 3: also just tweeted a picture in six hours before first pitch.
23:21
Speaker 3: The Brewers are taking early hitting today on what might
23:23
Speaker 3: be their final day of the season. Well, this is business.
23:25
Speaker 3: It's business. To a man, they all said, we haven't
23:28
Speaker 3: done anything yet. We haven't done anything yet. Last night
23:30
Speaker 3: in the postgame, we haven't done anything yet. We'll enjoy this,
23:32
Speaker 3: but tomorrow, win tonight, they haven't done anything yet.
23:35
Speaker 6: From what I heard, I think the only guy that
23:36
Speaker 6: kind of allowed himself to answer a question about, well,
23:39
Speaker 6: if we do or get this finished off, was Woody.
23:42
Speaker 6: And I think that's because he probably knows his World
23:44
Speaker 6: Series is over. So he can allow himself to think
23:47
Speaker 6: that way.
23:49
Speaker 7: When he said, I think I can let the cat
23:52
Speaker 7: out of the bag now that I was going to
23:53
Speaker 7: open tomorrow. That would have been a very special moment.
23:57
Speaker 7: Nothing more special. And, you know, selfishly, I was glad
24:00
Speaker 7: that I was there to witness it and see him
24:01
Speaker 7: stand up and take the sweatshirt off and get warmed
24:05
Speaker 7: up right out in left field, right.
24:06
Speaker 3: Over to where our seats were.
24:10
Speaker 7: He said it when they first let the cat out
24:14
Speaker 7: of the bag that he might have a chance to
24:15
Speaker 7: come back. He said, I'm dreaming of getting those final
24:19
Speaker 7: three outs in the World Series.
24:21
Speaker 3: Now, he said the last game of the World Series. Well,
24:24
Speaker 3: last night was the last game of the World Series.
24:26
Speaker 4: Right?
24:27
Speaker 3: Last night. For all intents and elimination games.
24:30
Speaker 7: My man Ryan Bass was trying to get everybody fired
24:32
Speaker 7: up at the drop last night. He said, the series
24:34
Speaker 7: starts tonight. All right, I got bad news for you.
24:37
Speaker 7: The series started and ended last night. So for Woody
24:40
Speaker 7: to be able to get those final three outs is
24:43
Speaker 7: just stuff of legends. And for him to be your
24:45
Speaker 7: longest tenured guy, Yelich's play to the point we just made,
24:50
Speaker 7: Sal Freelick hammered at home in every one of his interviews.
24:53
Speaker 7: It was a night for the old guys, and as
24:55
Speaker 7: I was walking out last night, ran into one of
24:58
Speaker 7: the older brewers, some guy that I thought would have
25:01
Speaker 7: been a part of this dugout.
25:03
Speaker 3: My man Ricky Weeks was hanging out there last night.
25:06
Speaker 1: Really?
25:07
Speaker 3: He was in Milwaukee. He was there? Got to dab
25:09
Speaker 3: him up.
25:09
Speaker 7: I don't think he was excited to have anybody catching
25:13
Speaker 7: him outside of the stadium because I was like, Ricky,
25:14
Speaker 7: it all started with you guys.
25:15
Speaker 3: No, it didn't. No, it didn't.
25:17
Speaker 4: No, it didn't.
25:18
Speaker 3: Dab me up real quick and got up out of there.
25:20
Speaker 3: Prince was the same way. Prince was like, it's about
25:22
Speaker 3: these guys. Oh, but you helped develop the culture. He's like, no, no.
25:26
Speaker 3: I really love that energy.
25:27
Speaker 6: The Ricky thing is kind of weird because we still
25:29
Speaker 6: don't really know what's going on with that.
25:31
Speaker 3: But it's not weird necessarily. But I think he's still
25:34
Speaker 3: in the organization. That's what I'm saying. That's why it's
25:38
Speaker 3: not totally weird.
25:39
Speaker 7: Ricky's still around. He was in Milwaukee, but he was
25:41
Speaker 7: keeping a low profile. He was keeping a real low profile.
25:43
Speaker 7: I definitely didn't anticipate anybody was going to recognize him
25:46
Speaker 7: standing outside of the Trop last night.
25:48
Speaker 3: One hour from now, Bill Schroeder is going to join
25:50
Speaker 3: us live from the ballpark. He's getting ready to go in.
25:53
Speaker 7: And Rock was definitely not expecting to see a decently
25:59
Speaker 7: well-lubricated Bill Schmidt walking into Tropicana Field last night.
26:03
Speaker 3: He was happy about it.
26:05
Speaker 7: When I gave him the rock, he turned, his eyes
26:08
Speaker 7: got real wide of, who the hell is this? I
26:11
Speaker 7: do the show with Drew. I'm calling in tomorrow. You're
26:15
Speaker 7: dang right you are. We confirmed it on site at Ferg's.
26:19
Speaker 7: Absolutely epic. We are off and running again. This whole
26:22
Speaker 7: day is a pregame show. Hunter Baumgart's going to join
26:25
Speaker 7: us at 430-ish, 425-ish. He'll have a baseball pregame show
26:29
Speaker 7: for you at 6 tonight. You're not going to want
26:31
Speaker 7: to miss that one.
26:31
Speaker 3: It is going to be epic. Let's enjoy this. It's
26:34
Speaker 3: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armand
26:58
Speaker 3: bringing it to you on this glorious Tuesday in the
27:01
Speaker 3: good land. October 27th could be the day that lives
27:05
Speaker 3: in infamy if the Brewers close out the sweep tonight
27:07
Speaker 3: at the Trop. They lead the World Series 3-0 first
27:10
Speaker 3: pitch just after 7 o'clock last night. Epic eight-run explosion
27:15
Speaker 3: leading to the 10-1 victory and a 3-0 lead. A
27:18
Speaker 3: prohibitive 3-0 lead. A good night 3-0 lead. In the
27:22
Speaker 3: World Series. Can they close out the sweep? We'll find out.
27:27
Speaker 7: This from Just Baseball Media drew since 1990. Only four
27:30
Speaker 7: pitchers have achieved the following in a postseason. 15 plus
27:34
Speaker 7: innings in an ERA lower of one while allowing seven
27:38
Speaker 7: or fewer hits. Two of them are Milwaukee Brewers. Aaron
27:41
Speaker 7: Ashby and Robert Gasser joined company of 1999 Pedro Martinez
27:47
Speaker 7: and 2003 Mariano Rivera.
27:52
Speaker 6: Mariano has always been good, but Pedro was so nasty
27:55
Speaker 6: in 99. That might have been one of the greatest
27:57
Speaker 6: single season to the pitcher ever had. I think if
27:59
Speaker 6: I'm thinking of the right year, he was so nasty.
28:01
Speaker 6: I mean, he's been good a lot of years, but
28:03
Speaker 6: it's just amazing to think about it. And the bullpen
28:05
Speaker 6: has been so good. And I think that's why sometimes
28:07
Speaker 6: it's hard to believe when you look up and they
28:08
Speaker 6: won so many in a row and been so dominant.
28:10
Speaker 6: And we're starting to talk about that because they've all
28:12
Speaker 6: been close except for, except for obviously last night. And
28:16
Speaker 6: that was kind of the release of, wow, we actually
28:18
Speaker 6: got a comfortable win out of this whole group. I
28:21
Speaker 6: don't think anyone's complaining about winning no matter how you
28:23
Speaker 6: have to do it, but to be able to relax
28:25
Speaker 6: there late in the innings and coast home to victory
28:27
Speaker 6: was something the Brewers and the Brewers fans have not experienced.
28:30
Speaker 6: It's been a white knuckle ride, which is fine when
28:33
Speaker 6: you have a great bullpen. I mean, that's kind of
28:34
Speaker 6: what happens. But that's what makes this whole thing so unique.
28:39
Speaker 6: And they got that last night.
28:40
Speaker 3: Continue to hit us up on the NicoletLaw.com talking text
28:42
Speaker 3: line 877-794-1973. Armin, we'll wait until the hay is actually
28:53
Speaker 3: in the barn, until the champagne is sprayed, until we
28:57
Speaker 3: start obsessing about when is the parade.
29:00
Speaker 7: I'm thinking Friday. Yeah, see, I'd prefer Sunday, but yeah,
29:05
Speaker 7: Friday is probably.
29:06
Speaker 6: What I would do.
29:06
Speaker 3: I don't think they do a Sunday parade. No, Saturday, Sunday,
29:09
Speaker 3: you're looking at police overtime stuff, so they like to
29:12
Speaker 3: do it during the week, and they like to do
29:13
Speaker 3: it as soon as possible. I don't think they'll do
29:15
Speaker 3: it on Thursday, because there's a little Packers game going
29:17
Speaker 3: on Thursday night.
29:18
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
29:19
Speaker 3: It's just two or, well, whatever. I mean, if you got,
29:22
Speaker 3: I can't think about it. Armand can't think about it,
29:24
Speaker 3: but we can. No, you need time to set it up.
29:26
Speaker 7: Dude, they're up 3-0, and they just won nine by
29:29
Speaker 7: nine runs. No, I'm very excited about it. They scored
29:33
Speaker 7: more runs in the fifth inning than the Rays have
29:34
Speaker 7: in the series.
29:35
Speaker 3: In the whole series. I understand, and you can do it.
29:40
Speaker 7: Let your freak flag fly however you want, but if
29:42
Speaker 7: you're ever going to enjoy something, this would be the
29:45
Speaker 7: time because everything's been so microwaved that if you don't
29:48
Speaker 7: just let yourself enjoy it and live in the moment
29:50
Speaker 7: and live in the fact that your team is dominating
29:53
Speaker 7: and dog walking the best team in the American League,
29:56
Speaker 7: You're going to blink, and it's going to be over.
29:58
Speaker 3: So you might as well live in it and enjoy
29:59
Speaker 3: it a little bit. I'm telling myself that. Trust me.
30:01
Speaker 4: Yeah.
30:02
Speaker 6: And I did enjoy it. I mean, I've been enjoying
30:04
Speaker 6: the wins, the games. Last night was very enjoyable.
30:07
Speaker 3: Maybe Saturday would be a day, then, for that. I
30:09
Speaker 3: don't think so. They don't usually do it on Saturdays.
30:11
Speaker 6: People were upset when the Bucs did it on a
30:13
Speaker 6: Tuesday because they wanted more people there.
30:14
Speaker 3: I do remember that.
30:16
Speaker 6: But then again, Saturday would be Halloween, too. Would that
30:18
Speaker 6: affect it for anybody? Might get people more in the
30:21
Speaker 6: mood to be festive.
30:23
Speaker 4: Nah.
30:24
Speaker 3: It's usually, these things usually happen during.
30:26
Speaker 7: The week, which I understand. I understand what you just said.
30:30
Speaker 7: I think it's a terrible idea. I think it would
30:31
Speaker 7: make a lot more sense to do it.
30:33
Speaker 3: On a weekend.
30:34
Speaker 7: Um, but yeah, sun Sunday would be best for yours.
30:37
Speaker 7: Truly Saturday, Halloween, Badgers, Hawkeyes, big ranked matchup. I mean,
30:41
Speaker 7: you're talking about a big football game going on. That
30:43
Speaker 7: might even be bigger than the series.
30:45
Speaker 3: The full gamut and game seven is Saturday, Halloween. Um,
30:49
Speaker 3: They would have had to have the parade on Monday
30:52
Speaker 3: because Election Day is Tuesday, and they're not messing around
30:54
Speaker 3: with Election Day, not having any parade on Election Day.
30:57
Speaker 3: The people who rubber stamp these things and give them
30:59
Speaker 3: permits and stuff, they ain't going to do that on
31:01
Speaker 3: Election Day. That's a day when you can't really have
31:05
Speaker 3: stuff like that competing. No, I totally understand, Drew. I
31:10
Speaker 3: don't know.
31:11
Speaker 7: To be honest with you, I didn't even know.
31:13
Speaker 3: There was an election coming up on Tuesday. I've been
31:15
Speaker 3: so dialed in with this.
31:17
Speaker 7: I couldn't even think about any of it, to be
31:19
Speaker 7: honest with you. But wherever and whenever they play it
31:23
Speaker 7: and have it, it's got to just be slower.
31:27
Speaker 3: Then the Bucs parade. Yes, please slow it down. Got
31:29
Speaker 3: to be a little slower. They were cruising out of
31:32
Speaker 3: that garage like it was a fire truck.
31:34
Speaker 6: I'm like, please, slow. Let's enjoy this thing, you know.
31:39
Speaker 6: Block these buses. But I totally agree with you, Billy,
31:41
Speaker 6: on that one.
31:42
Speaker 3: But you're right. It's hard to really be aware of
31:44
Speaker 3: anything else going on right now. But there will be,
31:47
Speaker 3: and people will complain about the parade if it doesn't
31:49
Speaker 3: go right through their house, and if the players don't
31:51
Speaker 3: stop in for a lemonade and a nosh, they'll be mad.
31:55
Speaker 3: I don't know.
31:56
Speaker 7: If anybody's going to be upset about anything, that's probably
31:59
Speaker 7: going to be a huge problem.
32:00
Speaker 3: Do you have it at the ballpark where the seating's limited?
32:03
Speaker 3: Do you have it at Veterans Park where you can
32:05
Speaker 3: get half a million people? All of it. How about everywhere?
32:10
Speaker 3: Have it everywhere.
32:11
Speaker 4: Everywhere.
32:12
Speaker 3: Well, it's going to be.
32:13
Speaker 6: I'm with Billy.
32:15
Speaker 3: You can't be upset with any of it.
32:17
Speaker 6: Down Nationals, they can go to Caesars Inn and kiss
32:20
Speaker 6: the prosthetic leg of Harvey Keene.
32:21
Speaker 3: Or down Blumont where all the bars are. That's where
32:23
Speaker 3: I'm going.
32:24
Speaker 4: Oh.
32:25
Speaker 3: I heard some people say that, but it's like, do
32:26
Speaker 3: you really want it down Blue Mound? I mean, I
32:28
Speaker 3: don't know. Whatever. You don't want to highlight rounding third?
32:31
Speaker 6: I like those places.
32:33
Speaker 3: I just don't know if it's a place for a parade. Listen.
32:35
Speaker 3: We need a canyon of champions here. Yeah, that's the
32:38
Speaker 3: Wisconsin Ab. These are champagne problems. Oh, yeah. And that's
32:42
Speaker 3: what we're looking at is champagne. We're coming up on
32:44
Speaker 3: that moment. All right.
32:46
Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
32:47
Speaker 3: Mark is on line one. Mark, welcome to the huddle.
32:52
Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going?
32:53
Speaker 3: Mark, how you doing?
32:55
Speaker 4: I'm doing great. So I was just, when I was
32:58
Speaker 4: talking to the screener last night after the game, when
33:01
Speaker 4: I was, you know, watching all the postgame stuff, I
33:03
Speaker 4: just kind of started thinking about all the crazy plays
33:07
Speaker 4: and everything that's happened this year. And I think that
33:10
Speaker 4: the one single play that entirely capsulates this team was
33:16
Speaker 4: last night up 10-0 and Dirty Sal lays out for
33:21
Speaker 4: a ball with a crap shoulder and makes a catch.
33:25
Speaker 4: And I don't know that there's any player that would
33:28
Speaker 4: have tried to make that catch being up 10-0 like
33:31
Speaker 4: they were. But that's what Murph talks about, is that
33:35
Speaker 4: they just keep coming at you. They never quit. And
33:39
Speaker 4: I love Sal Frelick. He is just the funnest dude
33:43
Speaker 4: to watch play, and he busts it all the time.
33:47
Speaker 4: Even with a bad shoulder, he makes that catch. It
33:49
Speaker 4: was just incredible.
33:51
Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. Good call, Mark.
33:52
Speaker 7: And you almost forget about the shoulder injury that Sal
33:55
Speaker 7: is still rolling through. I think he got asked about
33:57
Speaker 7: it maybe in the beginning of the series after the
33:59
Speaker 7: home run drew.
34:00
Speaker 3: And he's like, well. I'm not even thinking about that
34:02
Speaker 3: at this point, but.
34:04
Speaker 7: At, I believe he said at the moment, like they
34:06
Speaker 7: were going to have to clean it up in the
34:07
Speaker 7: off season, maybe like, so to be able to just
34:10
Speaker 7: deal with and roll with it, no doubt about it.
34:12
Speaker 7: I think the funnier one is, uh, I mean, he's
34:14
Speaker 7: out here picking up, picking coconut shells out of his, uh,
34:18
Speaker 7: arm after diving into the dirt out there in the
34:21
Speaker 7: outfield of the trops. It just, It's a wild play
34:24
Speaker 7: and Mark spot on. It totally embodies everything that the
34:28
Speaker 7: crew is about and definitely what he's about. And I
34:30
Speaker 7: did also in the moment, the best part is everybody
34:33
Speaker 7: trying to catch Murph. William Contreras kind of blocking Murph
34:37
Speaker 7: at the foul line to say, brother, don't waste your
34:40
Speaker 7: hip energy.
34:40
Speaker 3: All right.
34:41
Speaker 7: We know you got a bad hit. We're going to
34:42
Speaker 7: party this thing up tomorrow. We want to keep that
34:45
Speaker 7: thing fresh for you.
34:45
Speaker 3: Okay. Don't walk any further. Turn yourself back around, hit
34:49
Speaker 3: the handshake line, and we'll see you in a couple
34:51
Speaker 3: of outs. Hey, I got the balls. You did. You
34:53
Speaker 3: got a big one last night. That was good. So
34:55
Speaker 3: that was good.
34:57
Speaker 6: I think the I also think they he was really
35:01
Speaker 6: booking it on the on the fly out in the
35:02
Speaker 6: ninth around second.
35:04
Speaker 3: People like that one as well. So sells the DNA.
35:07
Speaker 3: There's no question.
35:08
Speaker 6: And he's been hitting the last two games. He's probably
35:11
Speaker 6: barreled better than any games. He's had in a two
35:13
Speaker 6: game stretch. Obviously, what he did in game two and
35:16
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, game game two. And then last night he
35:19
Speaker 6: went to the same spot like every time was pretty awesome.
35:22
Speaker 3: He's been incredible.
35:24
Speaker 6: I've said stuff about Sal, but he's been incredible. There's
35:27
Speaker 6: no question about it. It's hard to replace a guy
35:29
Speaker 6: with that kind of heart.
35:31
Speaker 3: Sal got the last laugh on Murph the other day
35:33
Speaker 3: with his home run at AmFam to center field because
35:37
Speaker 3: Murph had told him for years, never hit the ball
35:41
Speaker 3: to center field. That's an out for the rest of
35:42
Speaker 3: your life. The only way he's going to hit one
35:45
Speaker 3: out is if he's hooked that thing right on the line.
35:48
Speaker 3: You're going to sit and spin and hook it down
35:50
Speaker 3: the right field line. And then Sal, after his world
35:53
Speaker 3: record sprint around the bases, following that Homer, he went
35:57
Speaker 3: by Murph and said, I did that just for you.
35:59
Speaker 3: Because you told me that's an out. Then he almost
36:02
Speaker 3: hit another one. Then last night, he's playing pepper with
36:04
Speaker 3: the left fielder. No kidding, man. And that catch is
36:07
Speaker 3: disgusting that Simpson made. That was a really good catch
36:09
Speaker 3: that Simpson made. He's playing pepper with him and then
36:11
Speaker 3: finally lands one in the biggest situation. I think he
36:14
Speaker 3: flew out again there, didn't he? He put one in
36:16
Speaker 3: the same spot.
36:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then he said it to Lane, or he
36:18
Speaker 7: said in the postgame before he went up for the
36:20
Speaker 7: third one that he dumped over. He goes, I told Laner,
36:23
Speaker 7: if he catches another one, I'm just.
36:24
Speaker 3: Going to start pulling it. That's bad news for everyone.
36:26
Speaker 6: Yeah.
36:27
Speaker 3: It's bad news for everybody if that's what he's trying
36:29
Speaker 3: to do. What a spectacular run this team is on
36:32
Speaker 3: right now. Captivating the city, taking the attention away from
36:35
Speaker 3: elections and Packers struggles. The Badgers Renaissance. And the Bucs
36:39
Speaker 3: winning their first game of the season last night at 5-4.
36:41
Speaker 3: Taylor Jenkins. Big win. Big dub. Taylor Jenkins getting a
36:44
Speaker 3: big dub against Indiana. Huckus crowd. Looking down at the heat.
36:48
Speaker 3: Looking down at the heat in the standings. How about that?
36:51
Speaker 7: Sounds like the disarray is in that little Miami culture
36:55
Speaker 7: locker room.
36:55
Speaker 3: My goodness.
36:56
Speaker 7: I've heard Bigfella talking about it a number of different
36:59
Speaker 7: times about all the problems that they got going on.
37:01
Speaker 3: The checkbook open. Giannis, you're always welcome back after one
37:04
Speaker 3: year on the beach. Come on back. He's going to
37:06
Speaker 3: have to go pick up his ring at some point, right? Yeah.
37:09
Speaker 3: He's going to have to pick up his Brewer ring sometime.
37:11
Speaker 3: You're right. You're right. Keep them coming.
37:13
Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
37:13
Speaker 7: Bill Schroeder joins us live. I don't know if he'll
37:18
Speaker 7: be at the Trop yet, probably live from Ferg's. He'll
37:21
Speaker 7: be with us in an hour. I was going to say,
37:24
Speaker 7: he might be live from Ferg's. We do, coming up next,
37:27
Speaker 7: we have the Brewers' official starter here for tonight.
37:30
Speaker 3: Giddy up. We will reveal that when we return. You're
37:32
Speaker 3: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Back on the huddle.
37:44
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. You're listening to us on 920
37:46
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. Everywhere on the iHeart app, streaming live,
37:50
Speaker 3: Facebook X and YouTube. Drew Olson, Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian
37:55
Speaker 3: on the cusp of history as the Brewers look to
37:58
Speaker 3: win the first championship in their history and the first
38:03
Speaker 3: in this market since the Bucs. All due respect to
38:05
Speaker 3: the Wave and Wisconsin women's hockey and the major sports
38:10
Speaker 3: since the Bucs. And the monkey will be off the
38:14
Speaker 3: back end. What about your friends, Armin, those Cubs streamers
38:18
Speaker 3: that hate watch the Brewers? Where's Bree these days? I
38:20
Speaker 3: know she's having a hard time because she's pumping out
38:23
Speaker 3: the content. She's getting private views. She went and she
38:27
Speaker 3: was at a bar, I think, at game two. She
38:31
Speaker 3: was watching from her domicile and then went to a
38:33
Speaker 3: bar for game two. And then it was like in Chicago,
38:36
Speaker 3: but it was a brewer's bar. Oh, God. She was
38:38
Speaker 3: losing it. I mean, she knows what she's doing. That's beautiful. Yeah,
38:40
Speaker 3: I mean, she's giving the people what they want. Well, listen,
38:44
Speaker 3: and I'm a fan of it.
38:45
Speaker 7: Now, the bad one is there was, because I do
38:48
Speaker 7: try to find the team streamer watch. Last night, there
38:53
Speaker 7: was this really nice guy with his little kid. Brother,
38:57
Speaker 7: all due respect. Can you get the kid out of
38:59
Speaker 7: the visual so I can laugh at you guys in
39:02
Speaker 7: the pain?
39:03
Speaker 1: Right.
39:03
Speaker 3: It's hard when the kid.
39:04
Speaker 7: I feel awful because this poor six-year-old is sitting there
39:06
Speaker 7: watching his favorite team just get bludgeoned in the fifth inning.
39:10
Speaker 3: I can't even laugh appropriately.
39:11
Speaker 7: I can't even enjoy your misery because I feel awful
39:15
Speaker 7: about you exploiting your son. So would you just get
39:17
Speaker 7: him off the screen so that I can laugh at
39:19
Speaker 7: you and your little tiny mic in private?
39:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be a lot easier to take. I mean,
39:23
Speaker 3: it'd be a lot easier to.
39:24
Speaker 6: Open to be able to process mentally and just laugh at.
39:27
Speaker 6: But yeah, when the kids there, it's kind of like,
39:29
Speaker 6: but listen, I haven't seen Bree's video or the other
39:31
Speaker 6: guy that looks like the AI, Ryan Braun sitting on
39:33
Speaker 6: his computer chair.
39:34
Speaker 3: Do you know?
39:35
Speaker 2: I'm a boy.
39:36
Speaker 6: I'm bone.
39:36
Speaker 3: That guy's awesome. I love watching that. He's funny.
39:39
Speaker 6: Like I think he's funnier than Bree, but in general, like,
39:43
Speaker 6: trust me, I've got the binoculars out looking for anyone
39:45
Speaker 6: on Twitter that wants to, but they're, they're, They're turtling up.
39:49
Speaker 3: They're not coming outside right now. Well, rightfully so. I
39:52
Speaker 3: think they're all resigned to it.
39:55
Speaker 7: As much as I still tried to squawk and talk
39:58
Speaker 7: smack and cheer as loudly for Cleveland as possible in 16, Drew.
40:03
Speaker 3: We all kind of knew what was happening there.
40:05
Speaker 7: You could all kind of feel what was happening there
40:07
Speaker 7: and tried to calm yourselves down. This one, I think
40:09
Speaker 7: for anybody, Cubs fan it's got to be a difficult
40:12
Speaker 7: one to even Cardinals fans would be very very difficult
40:16
Speaker 7: to say anything because you're just watching a team freight
40:19
Speaker 7: train through baseball just like they did you for the
40:22
Speaker 7: last couple of years in the NL Central that's right.
40:24
Speaker 3: All right so with their season on the line or
40:27
Speaker 3: one might say season on the brink the Rays will
40:31
Speaker 3: send Griffin Jacks to the mound right hander I remember
40:34
Speaker 3: he came up as a reliever with the twins didn't
40:35
Speaker 3: he Billy that sounds correct I also believe he was
40:38
Speaker 3: a team USA or this year nice year yeah He
40:41
Speaker 3: had a decent year and was a solid pitcher. He's
40:43
Speaker 3: got a pretty big arsenal. He fastball sweeper changeup, maybe
40:48
Speaker 3: mixes in a cutter like sinker, maybe a four seamer
40:51
Speaker 3: once in a while. So he, he mixes it up,
40:53
Speaker 3: but he's not a guy that strikes fear into your heart. No,
40:57
Speaker 3: he throws mid nineties. He's just, but his changeup is
40:59
Speaker 3: a good pitch for lefties and, um, He's the guy
41:03
Speaker 3: that is going to have to save their season because
41:04
Speaker 3: the Brewers just mowed through their best two starters winning
41:07
Speaker 3: those games.
41:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, an American hero from the Air Force Academy and
41:11
Speaker 7: formerly of the Eau Claire Express, but not the fierce
41:15
Speaker 7: starters of Rasmussen or Peralta.
41:17
Speaker 3: And, Billy, the Brewers will counter with....
41:21
Speaker 7: Dustin May gets the ball to start Game 4, according
41:24
Speaker 7: to Bob Nightingale.
41:25
Speaker 3: Dustin May. Okay. I'm sure the leash is pretty short,
41:29
Speaker 3: but the Brewers' bullpen, thanks to Bobby Diesel... is pretty rested.
41:34
Speaker 3: The leverage guys are all ready to go. That's the thing.
41:36
Speaker 7: I mean, you're fully stocked up wherever you wanted to go.
41:39
Speaker 7: Even if they wanted to go, you know, circa 2023 Brewers,
41:42
Speaker 7: they could have started Ashby tonight and gotten the first
41:44
Speaker 7: six hours. Probably wouldn't want to deploy him late, but yeah,
41:47
Speaker 7: he could have if they wanted.
41:47
Speaker 3: I thought maybe Drone, obviously, because he's done it. And
41:50
Speaker 3: Drone might be in the mix. Harrison still hasn't gotten
41:52
Speaker 3: off the, you know. My man was loosening last night, though, Drew.
41:55
Speaker 3: He was cranking up all of those throws. That might
41:58
Speaker 3: make him not available today if he's, you know. Who knows, yeah. But, um,
42:03
Speaker 3: So I would say May, Rowan, Hall, Uribe, Ashby, McGill.
42:09
Speaker 3: They got enough to get through the game. They don't
42:11
Speaker 3: have to worry about it. They got plenty to get
42:12
Speaker 3: through tonight.
42:14
Speaker 7: We were having some conversations with Brewers fans walking out
42:17
Speaker 7: last night who were trying to ask if they were
42:19
Speaker 7: going to throw Mizorowski tonight. No, and frankly, as we
42:22
Speaker 7: were talking before... I don't even know if I'd throw
42:24
Speaker 7: him in game five if the Rays did get through tonight. Like,
42:28
Speaker 7: you have such a soft underbelly here where you can
42:31
Speaker 7: allow him to sit back and wait for game six.
42:34
Speaker 3: That's the thing. You do have that. I think I'm
42:35
Speaker 3: saving Drone for that maybe if there's a game five.
42:38
Speaker 3: Maybe save Drone for that and use D.L. Hall after
42:40
Speaker 3: May tonight and try to get and build a bridge to–
42:44
Speaker 3: You know, Uribe, Ashby, and.
42:46
Speaker 7: If you get two innings out of May, two innings
42:49
Speaker 7: out of Hall, one out of Romero, you get two
42:51
Speaker 7: out of Ashby, and it's Uribe and McGill and your
42:54
Speaker 7: World Series champs. You can very easily line it up
42:59
Speaker 7: and walk out. Did I not do that math right, Armand?
43:01
Speaker 3: Was that eight? I wasn't counting.
43:04
Speaker 6: When you said World Series champs, I just got that
43:06
Speaker 6: feeling again where you start getting sweaty.
43:10
Speaker 3: I just have that every 15 minutes. And that's the Brewers'
43:13
Speaker 3: big advantage is that they can do that, whereas the
43:15
Speaker 3: soft underbelly The Rays' best reliever hasn't gotten out of
43:19
Speaker 3: the bullpen in three games. No, they haven't even thrown him.
43:22
Speaker 6: And that's kind of what made last night so amazing,
43:24
Speaker 6: other than obviously the obvious of scoring a lot of
43:26
Speaker 6: runs and winning, is that you had that luxury of
43:29
Speaker 6: giving all your biggest bullets an extra rest, an extra
43:31
Speaker 6: day of rest.
43:31
Speaker 3: Brian Baker's a terrific pitcher. We haven't seen him, and
43:34
Speaker 3: he's going to pitch tonight one way or another. He
43:37
Speaker 3: has to pitch tonight, yeah.
43:39
Speaker 7: I yelled it out during the— introductions last night drew, uh,
43:43
Speaker 7: as they waved and they gave the hat tip and
43:46
Speaker 7: Baker got the ovation.
43:47
Speaker 3: I screamed out. Nice to see you.
43:49
Speaker 7: Cause that's the only time that you have been able
43:51
Speaker 7: to see them. And that's how you keep them completely
43:53
Speaker 7: at bay. They've been unable to utilize their best guy.
43:57
Speaker 7: But again, it's because you dragged Rasmussen in game two
44:01
Speaker 7: and all these decisions start mounting up. If Rasmussen would
44:05
Speaker 7: have gone game one, uh, Who knows? Maybe he's the
44:08
Speaker 7: key later on here tonight. Nick Martinez was also in
44:11
Speaker 7: the plans to pitch last night for the Rays, and
44:14
Speaker 7: that one didn't happen. So I would assume probably a
44:16
Speaker 7: quick leash, as you mentioned, for Griffin Jacks, and then
44:19
Speaker 7: it's all hands on deck as the Rays are going
44:21
Speaker 7: to try to do anything and everything to get this
44:23
Speaker 7: thing to Wednesday.
44:24
Speaker 4: Yeah.
44:24
Speaker 3: It's going to be fascinating.
44:26
Speaker 7: Will Jackson Churio make it four for four on leadoff
44:29
Speaker 7: base hits here tonight? Second player all time to have
44:33
Speaker 7: three straight games in a World Series with a leadoff
44:35
Speaker 7: base hit.
44:36
Speaker 3: And Hank Bauer was the other one, right?
44:38
Speaker 6: I think he's up there, yeah. In 58, who faced
44:41
Speaker 6: the Braves. I thought I saw it on TV. Don't
44:44
Speaker 6: give me credit for knowing that. I thought I saw
44:46
Speaker 6: it on the TV copy.
44:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I apologize.
44:47
Speaker 7: You said that was Hank Bauer, right? I only know
44:50
Speaker 7: Jack Bauer, so I didn't. The Yankees against the Braves
44:54
Speaker 7: in 58.
44:54
Speaker 3: The fact that Garrett Mitchell and David Hamilton were slated
44:57
Speaker 3: to meet the media before the game tells me that
44:59
Speaker 3: they're both starting. And so then the Brewers are going
45:02
Speaker 3: to use the same lineup that they've used for the
45:04
Speaker 3: first three games. I don't know why you'd change anything.
45:05
Speaker 3: You're facing a righty. Why mess with it? Let's go
45:07
Speaker 3: enjoy it. So that's what's going to happen.
45:09
Speaker 7: All right.
45:10
Speaker 3: Continue. 877-794-1973. We're all just waiting until 7-10. First pitch
45:17
Speaker 3: to see if the champagne flies tonight at the Trop.
45:19
Speaker 3: Bill Schroeder joins us in about 25, 30 minutes from
45:22
Speaker 3: right now. Hunter Baumgart, 90 minutes from right now. You're
45:25
Speaker 3: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
