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