  Speaker 2: All of our favorites are in. John is in there.
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: Alex Bykowski, Johnny Cribbage, everybody chiming in right now on
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: the YouTube stream. Trying to get all of you guys in.
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: Johnny Cribbage giving me his favorite brewer memory. I was
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: going to say, I wanted to get this brewer memory
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: in from Johnny here. Brewer memory lane, which you can
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: share with us at 877-794-1973. Or on the YouTube comments,
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: because we definitely appreciate this one. 1978 trip to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: Milwaukee zoo to visit Samson, then Brewer, Yankee coop, two
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: to three dingers with a walk-off from Mike Caldwell and
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: the Mike Caldwell and Reggie Jackson fight.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It sounds like one hell of a day. Doesn't it?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. First of all, not in 78 brewers.
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: We're really the first team in this franchise's history that
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: broke through to become a winner, a underrated brewers team,
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: 93 wins, Billy. Now that was good enough for third
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: in the AL East that year. Unfortunately, that's just the
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: way it was back then. But Those late 70 teams
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: were really good. They finally broke through in 81 with
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: the playoffs and the strike short near than obviously 82.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: But it wasn't just 82, Billy. That four or five
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: year stretch is really good for the Brewers and a
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: tough American League East. And 78 is where it all started.
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: So I always say that's an underrated group. Obviously, if
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: wildcard rules and all that were different, they'd be a
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: playoff team. Do you know about Samson, Billy? I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: you might because you've been to the zoo. We talk
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: about statues in sports a lot. We talk about guys
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: that earn statues, great statues. Samson's got a statue, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: he's earned one of the legendary gorilla, Samson. was one
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: of the all-timers.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, I don't know that there
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: have been many like or ever will be another that
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: can live up to that kind of billing that Samson had.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: He was sort of an attraction all to his own.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: People loved seeing him. He was a beast. He was huge.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And he was a showman. And, you know, Billy, just
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: like sports. Which I appreciate. It's like we've never saw
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: him in person, right? You and I.
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: I didn't see him either. But I've seen the footage, man.
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: I did see some home video of Samson. There's some
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: video of Samson on YouTube I checked out. It was
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: kind of cool. So that seems like a heck of
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: a late 70s Milwaukee day. And a Caldwell-Reggie Jackson fight.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. That must have been epic.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: See, now that's a sad one that there's not video of.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: I need video of that. Or maybe some radio play-by-play. Now,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: we talked to our friend John Greenberg of the Milwaukee Admirals.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: I don't know when there were more prevalent fights throughout Milwaukee.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: baseball history did you get more into like you do
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: for a hockey play-by-play man where you then become kind
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: of a boxing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Announcer like Aaron Sims does he's.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Great that's what I'm saying like one of Aaron's phenomenal
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: with all the action when the gloves come off I
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: think is that he's actually at his finest though and
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: that is uh that's a talent that not all will
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: end up having how about John Kurosawa, Brewer memory, 1982.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: My dad took me to the Brewers game. Only game
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: that him and I ever went to. Cecil Cooper came
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: to bat. Crowd loudly called out, Coop! You could not
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: understand why they were booing him.
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I had to ask that to my dad when
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: he came back as a member of the Astros, when
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: he was the manager of the Astros. And I was
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: sort of young. I didn't really put two and two together.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: That was the Cecil Cooper. And the Brewers fans didn't forget.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: I'm like, they're booing him? I guess he booed the
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: other team's manager, but it seems like a lot. Sort
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: of when at a Marquette game, some of us were
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: yelling ooze for Usman. You remember Usman Barrow? And someone
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: asked me, why are they booing Usman? I'm like, no, no,
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: they're not booing him. They're yelling ooze.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. So that's a good one right there. Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Cooper's on that. Cooper's on that Zoom today. Boy, is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that fun.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I was just going to say, and speaking of Cecil Cooper,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: you're going to hear from him coming up momentarily. Let's
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: spin through some of this as the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: were a couple of them. Larry Heisel is along with
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Jerry Augustine. You're going to, we're going to go with
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: the first, uh, the first piece Armin of the yell, uh,
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: the yout Augie and coop, because we just talked about
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Cecil Cooper, Jerry Augustine in the middle of this soundbite
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: will have the hair standing up on the back of
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: your neck for every Wisconsinite and, uh, a fire in
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: your gut, like no other. And Robin you out the
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: captain unofficial captain of the Milwaukee brewers before there's now
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: a captain. Christian Yelich, he will speak to what that
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: honor meant a little bit later, but first Robin, then Jerry,
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: then Cecil Cooper discussing the fans in Milwaukee and what
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: makes this run unique with all of you backing the crew.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Well, I, I feel like I'm a fan now, so
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I know what they're feeling. It's it's almost like watching
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: your kids play. You're a lot more nervous watching your
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: own kids play than when you played yourself. And I
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: kind of feel that way now. Well, you don't have
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: a say in the matter. You're just watching.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: And I think.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: From a fan's perspective, and I know everybody says this
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: about their hometown fans, but I, without question, know that
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the fans of Milwaukee and Wisconsin are the most passionate fans.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Anywhere.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: I mean... We've waited 44 years for this since the
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: last time we were there. You can see the excitement
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: throughout the whole state of Wisconsin. I mean, it is
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: second to none. Hey, we got a parade when we
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: lost the World Series. How often does that happen?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You know, we got the best fans ever.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: And this means as much to them, I guarantee you,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: This World Series is as important to the fans of
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Wisconsin as it is the players. And it's just a
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: testament to what these guys get to play in front
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: of day in and day out. I've always said this
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: about people from Wisconsin. What you see is what you get.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: And we got the best.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: Being born and raised in Wisconsin, it's a little special
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: for me. But 82 was extremely special. Seeing how the
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: fans came to the ballpark, it was unbelievable how they
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: reacted to us and the way they cared about it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: Like Robin just said, he put it so well. We
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: had a parade and you lost the World Series. That
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: was something special. I think if they win the World Series,
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: I think they're going to ask Robin to come and
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: ride his motorcycle around the world.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Not a chance.
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: The one thing that's different about this ball club, I
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: think back at the end of August, someone started making
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: a statement that this team was out in first place,
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: they're going to win the division, and they're going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: start preparing for the playoffs. And that did not happen.
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: It was Murph who understood what this team needed to
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: have to make that run when they get to the playoffs.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: He's been here a number of years. He was here
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: under Craig. He understands his team. He understands college baseball
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: with young players and how to do it. And I
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: think from that time on, from the beginning of September,
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: Murph started molding this team. And in molding this team
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: that when they got to the playoffs, they're going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: play with the same kind of tenacity and the way
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: they go about it each and every game. Now, when
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: I go to the ballpark, I do pregame and the
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: fans walk by. It's almost like the fans are been...
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: watching Murph and what he's been doing, trying to get
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: this team ready, and they won. in with an air
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: of confidence an air that they're going to go out
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: and enjoy it and I'm going to tell you what
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: guys if you're at the ballpark I've heard it loud
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: before but as loud as they've I've never heard it
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: as loud as they've been it's been so special and
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: these fans are fantastic they're smiling they're happy and they're
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: really behind this team and I think when you put
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: it all together with this team, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, our 82
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: team and everything, it's just a real exciting time for
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: something special to happen.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: Well, Jerry, I think you hit it all on the
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: head right there, my friend. And, you know, these are
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: a bunch of guys that are grinders to me. I mean,
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: every at-bat, you watch them in every at-bat. These guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: are grinding. They're out there just wailing away at the
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: first pitch, first pitch. They're grinding bat after bat. And
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: that's what you do. That's what winners do. That's what
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: guys that are ballers, that's what they do. And so
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: it is exciting for me to see it. And I
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: know the fans are all excited. And, hey, I've been
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: in at least one other big market where they have
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: a lot of rabid fans. But Milwaukee is the best.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Cecil Cooper with the final walk-off right there here on
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: the huddle. And Cecil Cooper with the build-in from Jerry Augustine.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: We're going to hear from Cecil Cooper coming up next.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: But in the part of Jerry being from the state,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: being around the team, and being around this whole run
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: as he's doing his coverage, his pre- and post-game stuff, And,
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: and being a fixture in the community, uh, awesome to
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: be able to see and hear him articulate how cool
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: the energy around being a Milwaukee brewer and being around
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the brewers at this moment does because. I mean, there's,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: there's a certain, certain tone in his voice, Armin, where
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: you can hear how passionate he always has been about
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: the team when you play for him. Obviously that passion
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: goes to a different level. when you have the levels
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: of success Augie and the rest of the team had,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: it's hard not to forever be tied to the organization
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: and enjoy it. But it is a little different, as
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: he said right there, being from the state and knowing
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: what it does do for people around the state and
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: having seen it at its highs and some lows and
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: some just passer-by years where they might have gone 75
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: wins or whatever. 82 wins. Or as you mentioned, you know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: in 78, when they first win 93 games and all
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: of a sudden there's people saying, whoa, that baseball team
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: that they got here over the last couple of years
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: has gotten a little bit better.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: All of that development to be to this point, I
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: thought it was really, really unique to hear him speak about.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It really was.
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: And obviously it was interesting to hear him speak about
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: what he think Murph's importance and impact on the younger players,
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: the college players or those guys at that style, because
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: he's been in college and Augie himself, uh, coached in
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: college for a long time, so he knows about that
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: angle a bit more and something that was probably on
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: his mind this whole time.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty interesting and revealing to hear as well.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And you're right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: I mean, you go into a market, you become part
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: of that market, you play there. But if you're from
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: the state, and Augie was, and Gantner was the other guy,
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: obviously from Wisconsin... He sort of had that.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: DNA to understand a little bit more. And you could
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: hear it in his voice. He definitely understands it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: And understanding what the World Series is like, all of
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: these guys do. Cecil Cooper, probably more than others. As
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: the guys were asked about the emotion that these players
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: are going to feel going into the game, during the game,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: during game one, how different is it from game three
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: to game four? Cecil Cooper has a lot of World
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Series experience and shared some of it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I was fortunate.
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: I participated in three. Once way back in the 70s
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: when I was a young guy. And then the second time, obviously,
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: with the Brewers. And then I was fortunate enough to
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: take part in a third time with the Astros as
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: a coach. And emotions do play a big part in it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: And as a young guy, I didn't really control it
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: as much as I could have and should have. And
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: I think the second time around and then obviously the
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: third time is different. But the second time, I think
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: I did... control things a lot better. And I think
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: you have to really enjoy it, but at the same time,
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: try to keep it like it's a game, a regular game.
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: Because if you let the emotions take over, then it
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: becomes more difficult and it's hard to concentrate, hard to focus.
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: And there's a lot going on. I mean, and there's
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: so many media around, it can be overwhelming. So you
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: have to really kind of stay within your game, stay
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: within yourself and not let that become overwhelming to you.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: And they can't be an easy thing to do. It's
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: a very easy thing to say and discuss. But I
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: heard Eric Hosmer talking about it earlier on today on
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: MLB network, Armin saying like, he felt like he needed
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: to get into the atmosphere. Every round was different, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: every game was different, right? When they started with the
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Royals at home. And then when they went onto the road,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: it was so different each time. He's like first game
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: of the world series. My first at bat, I was
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: swinging at the, I was swinging at whatever was coming
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: my way. Cause I needed to get one swing off
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: to be able to feel like I was in the game. Similar,
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: similar to like a play a football player needs to
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: get their first hit to feel like you're into the game.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: He's like, I just needed to take my, my first
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: a plus hack and whatever it was, I swang through
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: the fastball, swing right through it, missed it, missed it
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: by a mile, but settled into the moment.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Again, for so many young guys.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: They got three dudes under 22, 22 and under in
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: their lineup. It's a lot easier said than done. Maybe
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: that youth is part of what gives them a little bit.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Of a leg up.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: And you saw, I think, that a little bit with
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Cooper when the playoffs started and Cooper Pratt and he
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: calmed down.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: But it will be different in the World Series. It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: hard not to feel that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: It's hard not to understand the moment because you're going
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: to know this is a different type of game. And
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: I do think... It's that skill of, can you slow
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: down your heartbeat? Can you try and stay calm? Can
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: you try and stay focused on the process and not
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: get overwhelmed thinking about the moment? Because it can have those,
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: those mental aspects can have physical effects in your body.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, you saw Ashby in game four, how calm
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: he was staying on the bench, very focused on just sitting,
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: putting his sweatshirt on, drinking a sip of water. You
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: knew he was trying to regulate all that stuff because
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: if you start thinking about it, Billy, of course, I mean,
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: how do you not overthrow for instance, if you're Ms.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Never, how do you not get jacked up?
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: How do you not prevent yourself from not trying to
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: do too much, but also trying to say, I want
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: to try my best. It's gotta be incredibly difficult. And
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: I think that's going to be, a big challenge, especially
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: here in game one for the Brewers to try and
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: overcome is you almost want to detach yourself and say,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: this is just a regular baseball game. And that's not
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: easy to do when it's not a regular baseball game.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: When it's the furthest thing from it, it's kind of
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: like the biggest game of your entire lives. The greatest
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: feeling of his life was what Larry Heisel described watching
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: the Milwaukee Brewers beat the LA Dodgers. One of the
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: coolest sound bites you will hear is, ahead of game
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: one of the World Series.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I have the privilege of watching and my 80 years
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: on this planet, I have never been more impressed with
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: the team, the way they played against the Dodgers in
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: my entire life. I felt that it would probably go
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: seven games. Every game would be a battle. The Dodgers,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: with their experience, with their superstars, with their great pitching,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: that we would have to really scrape for runs, do
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: everything we could to get a lead and keep it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: But those young kids came together in a way I've
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: never witnessed. And they performed in a way that will
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: be remembered as long as the game is being played.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: About that. Is that not one of the greatest sound
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: bites and bars that you've heard? It's amazing.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: And I think a lot of us can relate to that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: I mean, we did think if we had, we're going
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: to win this, it would be a tough series. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: the brewers were so impressive, young coming back every game,
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: constantly fighting. And for Larry to say that was the
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: most impressive, exciting thing, a team he's ever watched.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: So I've had the privilege of being on this earth
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: for 80 years.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: That's the best thing I've ever seen. That's incredible stuff. Now,
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: we have been, if you have seen just a bit outside,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Armin alluded to it, you had the very difficult moment
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: where you ended up being able to see the emotions
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: that came out of Robin Yount when talking about still
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: not quite getting over 1982 and losing Game 7 of
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: the World Series. If you haven't seen it, you can
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: go and check it out at Marcus Theaters coming out
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: tomorrow or on MLB Network later on tonight.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, so awesome.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: It is on MLB Network later on tonight. But Robin
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: Yount speaking to I know it's not going to change
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: what has happened your entire life. It's not going to
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: change the last 44 years. But, Robin, if you see
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: that commissioner's trophy being hoisted by Christian Yelich and the
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Milwaukee Brewers during one of these next 10 days, will
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: that ease a little bit of the pain that you've
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: felt for the last 44 since Game 7?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Robin, those of us.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: Who have got to talk to you about the 82
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: World Series and how much that hurt, How often do
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: you think about that? How often have you thought about
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: that in the last 44 years? And how does it
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: feel to know that they have a chance to write
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: a different outcome this time?
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't concentrate on the hurt side. If you remember,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I've also said it was the greatest time of my career,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: but unfortunately the worst time. But the worst time was
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: all the result of a single game. The best part was...
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: all the work and fun and everything we did to
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: put ourselves in that position was also the greatest time
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: of my career. And I think most of us would
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: agree to that. But when you get that close to
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: achieving a goal you've set since you were a little kid,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: if you ever got the opportunity, and that would be
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: to win a World Series. And you get within one
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: game of accomplishing that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it stings.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: It hurts.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: And, you know, I'm not going to lie. I'll never
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: get over it until the Brewers win one. So I'm hoping,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: you know, I hope this happens more often than every
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: 44 years, but I'm pretty excited this year because I'm not,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: if it takes another 44, I'm not sure I'm going
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: to be here for that one.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: The uncomfortable laugh, but the realization, then the joke that Armin,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: I think everybody has had in every, every, uh, I
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: think folk, uh, every person around our age, right. Mid
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: forties or mid thirties has had that conversation with maybe
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: a dad, an uncle, a grandparent, if they're still lucky
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: enough to be with us.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And, uh, it's the uncomfortable laugh of don't say that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: But we do understand. Yeah, we get it. But we
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: It's one of the reasons why the frustration of the
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: supply has been so vast. Because the understanding, the feeling
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: of fleetingness of what this championship run is, you can
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: get swept up in it and feel like this might
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: take that long again.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: However, one thing I'd push back on is.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Every organization that gets here starts feeling like the window
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: for their dynastic run is just beginning. Everybody that gets
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: to the World Series for the first time with a
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: new squad and a new club that, you know, we
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: might just haul off and be here every couple of years.
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: Seems like we got everything going right now. We can
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: open up this window and make a dynasty out of it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: I'd steal the words right out of the head coach
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: of the Green Bay Packers opponent's mouth, Dan Campbell, after
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: the NFC title game a couple of years ago in
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: San Francisco.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Man, I'd love to say that we're going to be
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: right back here, man. I just don't know. You just
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: never know. And where have they gone? One and done
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs after. Not been there. And then missing it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Missing it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: And now playing against the Green Bay Packers, they keep
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: themselves out of last place in the division.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: I mean, what do you think Toronto thought after last year? Yeah,
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: it was devastating. I'm sure Toronto thought they'd be right
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: back in the playoffs. fighting it out in.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: The east and instead they were fighting to be 500
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: 500 they had their best players making 500 million dollars
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: saying they're not paying me to hit 40 bombs a
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: year oh no it's just it's already hit 40 bombs.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: It's amazing how you how you can't guarantee no matter
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: what you think you're set up to do you can't
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: guarantee the future you can't guarantee a result and you
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: never know when that time will be back when that
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: time will happen again if it will so that's why.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: The feeling of And I went and I was hearing
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: some more of Joe Davis talking through the broadcast of
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: this team has been so close waiting to push through.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: There are a lot of teams that get close to
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: being able to push through and never do. This one
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: being this close, four games away, shows how quickly those
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: things can change and those forces can change. Luckily, though,
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: you do have three guys that are under the age
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: of 22 in the lineup. I think that's a big thing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: You got a very, very young squad and potentially some
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: even better players still on the come.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: And more importantly, Billy, I think you have organizational sustainability
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: that creates this consistent winners. Dare I say, bite at
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: the apples. I know I don't mean to reignite a debate,
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: but that's what this is all about. It's giving yourself
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: chances when other teams can't sustain it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: That's the real quality of the organization.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: I tweeted out during, I think, in the midst of
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: the immense joy that was happening on Thursday night when
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: they win it, It's like the greatest bite.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: At the apple of all time. That was a great tweet.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I saw it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: How's that for a summer of passion and entertainment? I
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: hope it went by and people took it the way
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: I meant it of. Holy cow.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: This was the one. It was the one. It finally
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: actually paid off.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: You grow those apples on the tree to hope for
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: that one that becomes the right apple.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden you bite into it and
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: there's not a caterpillar hanging out in there.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Trying to go in there and eat his apple on Monday.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: And then he was going to go out and have
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: two pairs on Tuesday.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And the more apples you have on the tree, the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: more chances you have to get a good one. It's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: going to be the year that you plant that apple tree.
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: Because we could have said that after 24, Billy, what
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: you just said.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: After Pete Alonzo hit that home run, I don't know
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: if we'll be back. Next year, you win the division.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I'm losing the NLCS. I don't know if we'll be back.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: No, and instead after the Pete Alonzo home run, Pat
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Murphy said, I don't know why.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know how. Somehow, this is going to help us.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: Somehow this is going to help us.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: The manager, that 82 team that you just heard from,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: They had a manager that was pretty damn special himself
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: and Harvey Keene. Those guys try to put it together
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: and put it into words what Harvey Keene meant to them,
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: what Pat Murphy means to this crew, and the tie
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: in between the two. We'll bring you that one, as
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: well as we have a letter, a message from the
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Euchre family put out by the Milwaukee Brewers. I think
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Brewers fans would love to hear that. You'll hear from
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Hunter Baumgart coming up in about 20 minutes.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: It is the huddle. No Drew Olsen here today. He's
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: resting and.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Getting ready to roll for the World Series starting up
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: on Friday. Packers and Lions on Sunday, 325 kickoff. Don't
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: forget Badgers and Trojans. USC plays at Camp Randall on
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Saturday night. The Doug Russell ball.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: 630 kick.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: You're going to be wanting to listen to it on
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: 1310 WIBA in Madison.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: One-on-one five W I B a I B a F
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: M and Madison.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: We wanted to listen to that hanging out while watching
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: the brewers. And you can listen to us on that
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: badger radio network. And you can listen to us coming
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: up on the other side with more of the huddle
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Armin and Billy on Fox sports radio.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out. It's the huddle on Fox sports radio, Wisconsin.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I'm Billy Schmidt. That is Armin. Sorry.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Andrew Olson will be back with us coming up tomorrow
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: as he gets ready. And we all get ready for
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: the world series presented by capital one. I haven't been
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: saying that. Do I have to, Am I messing that up?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Am I not.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if you're getting a ding
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: for it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Who are you getting a ding for? I doubt it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I just.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I say the role. I acquiesce the role.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: I mean, I got a Capital One card, so I'd
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: appreciate it if you'd help out my business.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Give you a little something. Doesn't give me anything, but... Hey,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I guess you could, Capital One users could get the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: tickets earlier. Is that true?
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: I thought I saw somebody reading about that. Everyone's trying
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: to figure out their ticket angles, you know, this week.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: I have enjoyed some of the, so I love to
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: frequent the ticket exchange website or Facebook group.
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's fun to see what kind of sob stories.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: First off, the guys that run it, though, have done
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: a great job. I mean, there's like 16,000 people on there.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: That's got to be the biggest, toughest thing going. Oh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: and these dudes are always fighting the scammers. Like, I
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: do appreciate the work that they do. Because the tough
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: thing is, 98% of the situation is always going to
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: be above board. People trying to get it to Wisconsin fans,
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: trying to get it to Brewers fans, either Packers fans.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: And there's always going to be a bad apple. There's
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: always going to be a bad actor. But it doesn't
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: paint poorly, I believe, everybody. But I've enjoyed reading all
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: of the different angles. And the one was, anybody got hookups?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: That's the best. Just straight asking.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: I just, I love the, anybody, I'm really, I'm really
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: struggling here. Anybody got hookups for game one? Like in
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: the top of the comments was brother. Hookups are for July.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: Everyone's got hookups.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Hookups are for July. Hookups are for last call was
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the third comment on there. And I thought that was
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: maybe my favorite one.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: But it, it speaks to the belief in still the thought, like, This.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Is just so far from any other game that you've
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: seen and that we have witnessed in this town in
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: quite some time.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: The demand is immense. The excitement is through the roof.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: But I do love... Anybody got any hookups?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Anyone got a line on tickets? You know who I
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: got to call to try to get some tickets?
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: I also like when someone starts with... The ticket king.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: It's not sold out until the king's sold out.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You can pay money. I've been going back and forth. I.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: I think this guy I'm going back and forth with
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: on Twitter thinks I'm just trying to be annoying to him,
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: but I'm not. But he's making, you know, it's a
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: lot of, like, I feel bad for the Brewers fans
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: that can't afford to go. But the thing is, there's
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: a scarcity issue, too. These games will sell out no
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: matter what. Everybody wants to go to these games. Like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: it's not like there's anyone that doesn't want to go.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: So there's only so many tickets to go around for
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: possible four World Series home games.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And that's just the reality of it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: The nice thing is, as I see the highlights of
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: what was an incredibly special night at Madison Square Garden
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: last night, until, you know, the end happened.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And that man happened. My goodness. 12, 8, and 7.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Playing center. Kind of pedestrian. Playing some center.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: 6'8 center.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: Also talking stuff to the Knicks fans.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: To everybody that would listen to it. I'm a Midwest.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I'm an Ohio boy.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: We don't want you. We don't want you. That's a
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: win for the fan, by the way. Oh, a thousand percent.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: To get him going. You get the lion in the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: cage going like that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: But potentially, if you just forecast and wish cast a
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: little bit, maybe this ticket's not the one.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: But you know what might really, really hit?
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: That banner and ring day over there at American Family Field,
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: whenever opening day is, might be even greater. So there's
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: always a next one. There's always more time. There'll hopefully
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: be another one.
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: Hopefully.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Laura asked me, you know, is this once in a
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: lifetime for Lena? Well, I hope not. I'm like, do
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you hear what she just said? I hope it's not.
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: I hope she's got a lot more years to live
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: on this planet and the Brewers can win a series
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: by then.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: She's laughing.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I said that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: All right. We're going to, speaking of once in a lifetime,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Hunter's once in a lifetime kind of guy.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: We're going to have him next. It's been a once
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: in a lifetime ride for Hunter Baumgart. He is, he
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: is living it. He is there at every turn for
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: this Milwaukee Brewers championship run.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: He's in with us on the other side.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: He's with you starting at five preview of what he's
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: got coming up on Milwaukee baseball tonight.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Coming up next.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: It's Hunter Baumgart on the huddle. He's arm and I'm Billy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Stay with us on Fox sports radio, Wisconsin. It's the
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: huddle on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. I'm Billy Schmid. Always prepared.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Our friend Armin Sarian, but the man who brings, well,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: literally all the preparation, but doesn't necessarily need it because
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: it's all up in that beautiful noggin of his, Hunter Baumgart, HB4.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Our Brewers reporter, insider.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Frankly, just....
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: The sidecar for the brewers in the great run that
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: they have had to the world series Hunter.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: You've been there for all of it. You've gotten to
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: see and hear a ton of it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: I was though, and I don't like.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: To do this. I try not to text people while
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: they're doing a show. Sure.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: I really try not to, you know what? I'm really
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: not good at doing not texting, not texting people while
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: they're on the show, because you might forget what you
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: were going to say. And that's, what's important is what
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: you were going to say.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Bingo. Right?
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: So that's why that is exactly why Armin yesterday, as
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: I'm driving home, listening to Milwaukee baseball tonight with Hunter
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Baumgart and.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Text him immediately.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: That I'm poking back and forth between you go to
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: a commercial I have in a new vehicle, well, new
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: to you vehicle, the little three-month trial of SiriusXM.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: Turn that on, Hunter, and they are playing the Celebration postgame.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: on the field right after game four.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Just re-airing.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: I can't tell if it's the ESPN broadcast because Bootshombie's
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: not on it, so I didn't think it was that one.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: I thought it was maybe their SiriusXM one, whatever it was.
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: And he's there, gets Jacob Mizorowski.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: And speaks to probably not everybody's first guess on a
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: post-game interview, but David Hamill. And as she's starting the conversation,
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: he gets handed a baseball by Sal Freelick, and Sal
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Freelick tells him, This is the home run ball.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I got it for you. Now, Hunter, you've been around
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: these guys all year long.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Hamilton then also drops in there that Freelick went in,
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: talked to the people in the stands, negotiated Garrett Mitchell's.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Home run ball. From earlier in the game.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know, Sal free, like a
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: lot better. And I've heard him talk a lot. I
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: can't fathom. If my man is just pulling the greatest
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: chain of line to go to the world series. My
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: man is playing. What a story.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: He's on pawn stars. Well, going into center field. I
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: know they call them grad school. But that is a,
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: that is a graduate level business transaction that he's trying
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: to apparently make in the middle of one of the
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: biggest games of his career.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: In my head, I'm thinking like, oh, so like while the,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: while Aaron Ashby is just mowing down Dodgers hitters, I
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: feel like as this back turn, this is how I
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: picture it back turned to the plate. He's like, all right,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: so if I give you like a signed bat, I
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: know Ashby's got it behind me.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I know it was you.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: So if you like, I can just give you a
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: signed bat and a blah, blah, blah. Maybe Yelly, we
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: can get Yelly to get something. Would that work? I
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: know Ashby's onto his second hitter. I know the game's
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: going on behind me. Ashby's got it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Don't worry. I don't have any more. I can't give
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: any more. Just think of all the guys you got
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to keep track of, too.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: So you're Mitchell and you're Hamilton. Okay, I think I
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: have this under control.
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: There was a guy with a Coors Light hat out there.
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: I owe him something. I know I owe him something.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: And he's just got a sheet of the hologram sticker.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have to get to the bottom of it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Please do, because I heard it and I'm like, this
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: is either the greatest wise tale fish story that anybody
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: in real time could have made up.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Sure. And Sal Freelick deserves credit for that. That's pretty funny.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: It's the best teammate move that you possibly could have
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: in the midst of your biggest game of all time.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Like I just, I'm hearing it in disbelief. I got
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: to text Hunter. I got to text Hunter and see
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: if one, you've heard any bit of this. Two, you
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: get to the bottom of it. And three, I mean,
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: you've been able to see how closely knit and tied
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: together these guys are. It does feel like something that
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: in the midst of that moment, one of them would
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: think of, just like when you see somebody score their
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: first touchdown and the celebration runs through. Maybe another wide
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: receiver goes and grabs that football because when you come down,
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: you might want that memento.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: If there's any team that's going to do it, it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: this 2026 Brewers team. I mean, Daniel Vogelbach called them
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the most unselfish team that he's ever been a part of.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: He's been a part of a lot of teams in
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: major league baseball and good teams. And I think that
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: is a perfect way to describe it. They've, you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: a couple of different players and personnel described as quiet confidence, right?
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: That goes into the hole. We're down for nothing in
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: a game, but Hey, it's going to be a great
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: story when we come back. So, and that was great.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Garrett Mitchell talked about that on, Jeff Passan's podcast about
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: how Christian Yelich literally told him in the dugout, hey,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: when the guys came off the field after Watani just
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: hit a home run, Dodger Stadium's going crazy, it's 4-0,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and Yelich says, yeah, it's going to be a great
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: story when we come back from a 4-0 deficit. When
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: your captain says that, that is why they're having the
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: season that they are, in addition to being really good
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: on the field, obviously. But yeah, that could be... Sal
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Frelick could be a guy who could pull a prank,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: but that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: That seems more realistic than not. So that is going
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: to be my mission at workout slash media day tomorrow.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow is like the NFL Superbowl Monday night media day
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: at the world series. So I'm, I'm excited to see
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: how this all plays out. It's going to be, obviously
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: a little chaotic and you never know what you're going
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: to get out of it, but it's going to be exciting.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Cause I think they're going to have everybody in, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: just like, like they do on the football field and
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: you can go and talk to everybody.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Now, is it as much of the circus similar with
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: like Guillermo walking up asking questions or like Armin loved
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: on Superbowl media night when we went through everybody with.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: The 4k stick camera? Oh my gosh. Are you going
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: to see any more bachelor guys?
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: Joey was there. I remember they were shooting inside edition promos.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: I remember that was a funny one. And what, the
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: Pickle Juice podcast or all these guys with their shirts
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: and their jerseys?
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: That's where I went up trying to say hi to
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: Ian Rappaport and called him Adam Schefter.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: That was a rare L for you. You usually don't
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: miss on that. That was a massive L. One of
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the better ones that I've been in. Now they're coworkers.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: I think I got a picture with Ocho Cinco, didn't I?
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: But I would think this is a different one because
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: it's not the same, right, Hunter?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: And now, like, you are the elder statesman in this
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: group because you're in the Milwaukee embedded beat media group.
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: I mean, these other guys are just hangers on. You're
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: the man now.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: So they have to come and take a picture with you.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Well, they definitely don't have to take a picture with me,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: but I do think there will be some of the
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: influencer crowd. I'm guessing that'll be there. I mean, that
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: stuff kind of picked up a little bit in the LCS.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing, you know, they'll, they'll want some brand deals
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: with some of these bigger influencers to come to the
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: world series and things like that. I am interested to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: see what it looks like, how much of the pomp
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: and circumstance is comparable to the Super Bowl. They obviously
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: announced that Violent Femmes is going to do a pregame
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: concert inside American Family Field at 445 before game one. So,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: of course, they were founded in 1981 in Milwaukee. So
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: that's cool. Gates are going to open three hours before
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: first pitch of game one. Parking lot's four hours before
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: first pitch of game one. So that's just some of
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: the logistics of it. But this is going to be
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: constant that we're going to get more information about what
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: exactly all this is going to entail, because there's obviously
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: going to be a lot of pomp and circumstance before
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: first pitch on Friday. Now, you've been able to hear
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Pat Murphy. I have often marveled at the ability of
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: baseball managers to talk to the media as much as
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: they do.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot. A lot of talking. Twice a day.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: And he seems to embrace it more than most. Every day.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: He does embrace it more than most.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: Because you also have to. Otherwise, I don't know how
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: you would. You're just going to be miserable. You'd be
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: a part of a miserable existence, kind of like a
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: former guy. So when you're able to make it fun
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: and smile through it, it makes it better for everybody.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: But now everybody is getting a little bit of what
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: you guys get with Pat Murphy, because Hunter, he's on
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: everybody's podcast except one.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Except one. Christopher Mad Dog Russo, not happy today.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: Not happy today on first take as he said, my
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: producers got told that Pat Murphy's too busy.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Too busy for me. I'm a Hall of Famer. I'm
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. What's the problem? What, you didn't
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: drink the water? The water was too hot? What happened?
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I was watching golf. What do you want to talk about?
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: You didn't get Murph? You didn't get the guy in Milwaukee?
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: He was on DP. He was on with Cowherd. The
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: Miz was on with McAfee earlier on today. A lot
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: of the shine nationally on this crew. What do you
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: expect mostly that people are going to kind of glam
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: onto nationally with this crew that you've been following?
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, Pat Murphy is, is the guy who is,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: he is entertaining in almost every press conference. And I
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: feel lucky to cover him because it's, it's really fun
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: to go into every press conference, not knowing what you're
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: going to get, uh, whether it's pregame, whether it's post game, uh,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: he's a blast. Obviously Ms is the attraction because of
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: how fast he can throw the baseball. So that's going
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: to be a guy. You know, I'm really excited to
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: watch Christian Yelich take this all in. I mean, this
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: is something he's worked for his entire career. He's finally
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: getting to play in a World Series in Milwaukee. And just,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: you know, that's a guy who's been here. Brandon Wood.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: is kind of the same way where these guys have
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: been here. Aaron Ashby do a little bit of a
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: lesser extent, but he's been here a lot while too.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: They know what this means to the city. They know
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: what this means to the state. They know what this
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: means to Brewers fans. So that's what I think that
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: to me, I'm going to be, you know, and I
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: think they're going to get some of the attention that
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: they deserve. Obviously we'll see if Woodruff is on the
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: roster or not. He's at 90 to 92, according to adammccallvmlb.com,
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: who talked to him yesterday. We'll see. I mean, maybe
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: we'll get some more information tomorrow when Pat Murphy talks.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Brandon Woodruff might be available tomorrow as well.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: So, boy, you just have to embrace it. You have
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: to embrace the chaos. You have to embrace how fun
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: this is going to be. There's going to be, obviously,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of talking heads that are going to say
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of things about the Brewers and Rays, and
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: hopefully it's a lot of good things because I was
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: thinking about this this morning, and I'll kind of leave
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: you with this. Is this the best Brewers team ever?
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: It's hard not to say it isn't. It's hard to
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: say that it's not the best Brewers team ever.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: It's objectively... Correct. Because of the right. Correct. They've been
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the better. I mean, however, whatever your standard.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Is, if they win the series, then win the World Series.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Then it's a no brainer.
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: You can have an individual opinion on like if teams
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: went head to head and things like that or who
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: had the most talent and things.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people like to make it about
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: how many Hall of Famers.
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: I said to Doug, you can't do that because guys
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: have been on different teams that haven't won as much
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: with Hall of Famers.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: So if you just do it that way. This World
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Series has no guaranteed Hall of Famers in it, right,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: that I'm thinking of.
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: But a lot of guys that might one day, and
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: that's what makes them both young. I think to your point, Hunter,
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: by any objective standard, you'd have to say this is
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: the one, whether or not they win the World Series.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I think so, too.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I think so, too.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I would support that.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: Doesn't have to get to Game 7. Well, maybe you
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: can make that argument, I suppose. I mean, this is
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: like I'm just trying.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: To think of the arguments that people would.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: I think the argument would be I think the arguments
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: would be people saying, you know, that team was better,
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: just didn't win the last game.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: But, you know, head to head.
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: But based on maybe positionally, this is definitely a better
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: pitching staff than the 82 Brewers.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: There's no question. Especially without Raleigh. Even with Raleigh. Now
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: you're really going to step on a hornet's nest, though.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: The bullpen, the starter, there's no question. Okay, but if.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: Those guys were able to only throw the volume they
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: do now, would that be bad?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Here we go. That's where crossing over is a difficult
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: one to do. Even Robin Yeltsin said that today. Yeah,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: and I thought it was very, very well said by him.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: Because I think baseball, there's a lot of times some
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: very 90s NBA rhetoric that comes in.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Game is always better here. Game is always better here. Absolutely.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I do think.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: the respect for this team would go further because I
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: think they could win in pretty much every era.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: That right. Right. Just like, I think that 82 team
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: would win in most eras.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: Like, I don't think they would have in the three
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: true outcome era, not been able to compete.
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: It would have been great in this era. That was
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: a home run heavy team, obviously. And they scored a
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: lot of runs.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: So, so yeah, I, I, but I think the even
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: more fun question is beginning of the year, we started debating, um,
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: This team's going to be better than last year.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Will they have a better record?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: And a lot of us said no.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: And they didn't need a 30-4 run. They won 103 games.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Right now, they're 50 games over 500. If you include
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: regular season and postseason, they are 110 and 60 heading
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: into the World Series.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: And I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, they have
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: the best home record and best road record.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: That would make sense. And winning percentage on either one.
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: A lot of 96 Packer vibes. You know, number one defense, offense,
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: all those things. The thing is, too, now we just
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: need a return specialist. I mean that, you know, yes,
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: you do need that. That would be pretty good. And
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: if you want to start splitting hairs, the way they
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: dominate the Dodgers will be a separator.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I think that is eventually they do what we want
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: them to do.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: And those type of things like Carl Ravitch was on
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: and nothing. I love Carl. I'm going to talk about
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: this at five on the show. He was on foul
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: territory yesterday and was guest hosting, and he said, I
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: think the Rays are going to win this series. They're
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: playing better than the Brewers, and they're a better team.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: You cannot tell me that the Tampa Bay Rays or
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: any team is playing better than a team that just
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: swept the Dodgers and beat Skubal, Young Lotto, Snell, and Glassnell.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: That's hard to figure.
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: The Rays are definitely playing well, but I don't know
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: what more the Brewers could have done. except maybe they
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: did have to come back in those games. Maybe is
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: that why you can't?
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: But the Rays lost two in the CS. The Brewers
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: didn't lose any to the better team. The Dodgers are
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: better than the Guardians, I'll tell you that much.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: They got ran through in one of those games at home. Yeah,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I can't keep that up. So anyway, I don't know
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: where that was coming from.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Carl.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Well, you gotta have a take. He had a take
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: and you gotta have a take. Gotta have one.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Now you can have all of the takes and you
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: can enjoy all of the takes coming up by your
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: Milwaukee brewers at five, five with Hunter Baumgart.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Thanks buddy. Thank you guys.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: Hunter B will be back coming up in one hour
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: from right now. We will be back with another hour.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: We will hear from Matt Lafleur addressing the injury report.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: That includes two very important green Bay Packers. I got a,
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: I got a little bit of a hint. Both have
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: a zero in the number. Both have zeros in the number.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: Pretty important guys on the offense that were added to
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: the injury report today.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: We'll hear that also.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: His expectations for maybe Josh Jacobs coming up this week
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: in the Motor City.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: That coming up on the other side. It's the Huddle.
• 44:34
