  Speaker 5: When summer is finally forgotten, as daylight dwindles sooner each day,
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: look around the corner, just beyond Main Street. Chances are,
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: there's a game in a backyard. Children in the midst
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: of imagining. Some with a notion. Innocent, but powerful. You
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: eagerly followed your team, listening to that distant voice. You
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: couldn't sleep after a victory. Couldn't wait till the day
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: when it might be your time. And then that day arrived.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: That moment, that affirmation. When you were told you were special.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: And so you worked and you sacrificed, pointing toward that
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: day in the fall when all of America would be
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: watching you, watching your team.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: The kind of.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Day dreamed of.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: In a backyard just around the corner from Main Street.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: It's a dream for everybody, but, you know, when you
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: believe in something hard enough and you work at something
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: hard enough, you stay together, you go through the rough times.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: fight through it we learn.
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: Lessons that the belief is key you have to believe
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: and you have to believe even more when things aren't
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: going your way it's not just talk it's a deep
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: rooted belief that we can and i believe that if
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: we play together and we play winning baseball great things
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: can happen.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Bonnie anything to add uh he's not the best color

• 2:34
  Speaker 3: set to go That brings you into hour two of
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Now, I would advocate
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for more Euchre, less Costas into hour number three.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I could have done that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But I got to tell you, and to see the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: twinkle in your eye when Bob Costas' voice comes through
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: the speaker after you hit a shiny red button to
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: play it, is is the kind of dream thing that
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: dreams are made of and if people were able to
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: see and experience how happy it makes you to bring
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: bob costas's incredible work to the airwaves once again his
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: work they would understand that it's worth it yeah and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: i did use that and you know and i did
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: run it last hour and again all right now what
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: game was that from you got me messed up if
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you don't think i waited this long to not run
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that open oh yeah you're running it thank you all
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: right so you should just disabuse yourself with the notion
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: now billy uh that was the open from the uh
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame-FSU 1993 matchup.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Number one versus number two. Great game. Yeah, it was
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a football open, actually. That's a football game? It worked
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: pretty well, though, didn't it? I thought. I made it work.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It got the euchre in there. I made it work.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: We're trying to feel feelings here, all right? That'll make
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you feel some feelings.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: We're feeling the feelings. From FSU Notre Dame. That's incredible.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Great game. That is incredible. Aaron Taylor, Packers Super Bowl champion.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's fair.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion. All right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I don't care. Whatever. Listen, we're in the World Series today.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: In the World Series. I'm just more amazed that it
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: was from a football game. I thought you were fumbling
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: on which 80s World Series it was. When he was
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: handing it off to, what, Al Michaels calling the World
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Series at that particular point in time?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, him or Keith Jackson. Or Keith Jackson. He was NBC.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Keith Jackson was ABC. So it would have been, yeah,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I think it would have been one of those guys
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: or Joe Garagola or one of these.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. NBC back in the day for baseball.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Garagola can miss it. All right, 877-79.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: 1-9-7-3, get up, get up, get out of here and gone.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Written on the facade, obviously, at American Family Field. All
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: over the Brewers broadcast booth. Mike and Meryl hit us up.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Billy Arman, did you guys see that they're going to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: be rocking the plaid Euchre tribute sport coats in the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: radio booth? photos on the Instagram page of MLB. There's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: also MLB Network caught up with Jeff Levering. He stepped
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: up to the set for a few minutes, rocking one
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of the sport coats that Euchre wore on the Tonight Show.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I believe he said it was the one he appeared
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: in the most times ever in his career on the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Tonight Show. So to celebrate Euchre and Robert Flores kind
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: of cut levering off at one point and said, his
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: fingerprints are all over this place, huh?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You can't go 20 feet in American family field and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: not see or feel Bob Uecker's presence? Rightfully so, as
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: it should be. As he is still the spirit and heartbeat,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I think, of Brewers baseball. For him to still be
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: a part of this is extremely, extremely rewarding. And very
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: cool for how Jeff has continued that legacy of Bob Uecker.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: He's done a great job, obviously broadcasting. He's done a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: great job making these memories for us cementing. Cause these
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: are memories of a lifetime. His calls are going to
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: last forever. And he's done an amazing job at that,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: but just to carry on the memory and the tradition
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and the legacy of Bob and hold it, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: it means a lot to him, which means a lot
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: to everybody.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So, um, We're obviously thinking of him. Everyone is. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: we know he's watching. It's amazing.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He's there watching. He's in the back row. Well, he
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: must be in the front row. Must be in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: front row.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I like this one. Red hot Tim Knott.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't like the Woodruff decision, but now hearing him talk,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I know he'll throw his damn arm off.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And that's who I want on this roster. That's my
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: kind of guy.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's fair, but you know you're going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: get his best, right? One thing you know is you're
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: going to get Woodruff's best. Is it the right move?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Channel 24 you're looking for, by the way. Thank you,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: thank you. I'm all messed up.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Emotions today, 24. My man has been scrolling on. this
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: television on the opposite side of the glass for a
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: good five minutes trying to figure out what channel my
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: 24 would be on. Well, I figured either I'm getting
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: that or MLB Network one or the other. Yeah, no,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and then Chad Patrick's off the roster.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Chad Patrick off the roster. Brandon Woodruff on the roster.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: If you missed it earlier on here today, Woody has
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: not pitched since July 4th. Chad Patrick has not pitched
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Brandon Woodruff, we heard him about 30
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: minutes ago. And I thought the number one quote that
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: he said was, I wanted to make sure this wasn't
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: a charity case.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Huge. Yeah. I understand what's going on here.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I understand why they would want to put me on
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the roster. What would make somebody think, you know, just
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: for sentimentality, it's the good right move. Doug Russell was
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: in here yesterday, and I thought Doug put it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Very, very well. You'd more than anything owe it to.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: The other 25 guys, 27 guys.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And Pat Murphy said the exact same thing.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: That you owe it to everybody that's around in a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: part of this to make sure it's the right decision.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: This isn't just to give out orange slices and a
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: trophy at the end of it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's to win a trophy at the end of it. Yeah,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and Doug was clear about that. And I struggle, though, with.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: And this was the point, and I think the sticking
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: point that probably Matt Arnold, who has, by the way, Armin,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: he's up on MLB Network right now. He's traded in
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: the super tight fitting polo shirt for a pretty sweet
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: quarter zip. Matt Arnold is traded in for a pretty
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: sweet quarter zip. You gotta wear the gear today. That
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: conversation between them could not have been an easy one.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: But at the end of it, who is going to,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: for three outs, six outs, nine outs, whenever it ends
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: up being, Do you believe give you the best chance
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to win? And I do struggle to not think that
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: that's Brandon Woodruff. It's hard not to based on what
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: he's done. And, you know, when Woodruff said my number
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: one goal, whether or not I was on this roster,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: is to win.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's all you need to hear.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I think, I don't think Woody's the type that is
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: going to lie either to the organization. He said he
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: was as truthful as possible about where he feels, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I also think he's a guy that believes he can
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: get out if he's healthy, if he feels good enough.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And, um, and that's the chance he's given what role
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: we have. No idea. He said he'll do anything. Obviously.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think he wouldn't have, but it could be Billy,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a fifth inning. It could be an opener.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: It might be to, you know, you have, we have
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: no idea. It might be with the lead, without the lead,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: with the tie, no idea. And, uh, I'm not going
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: to put it out of the realm of possibility. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: have an extra pinch hitter on the roster, all right? Oh,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: look at you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Hasn't taken a swing in like seven years, but yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what? If we're totally out of hitters,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: he's the one, right? I mean, he's the one that
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: would grab a bat, maybe.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, that would be a wild situation, and I
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: don't think I'm predicting it, obviously, but hey, you never know.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: This is October. Anything can happen.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Well, anything can and anything will happen, and I think
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that's where uh just knowing that you bring forth somebody
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: that's meant so much to your organization like there's a
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: lot of players that could be a part of it
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of guys that Everybody wants to pitch
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: in a World Series. It's every baseball player's dream when
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: you first set foot onto a mound into.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Your first travel ball circuit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: But it's a lot easier to think about when you
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: know that you're handing the ball to somebody that has
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: pitched in a lot of big games, right? Woody has
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: been in a lot of big spots. He's pitched in
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of big games. Last time, though, he's pitched
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: in the postseason was 2021. been a couple years yeah
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: in a game that you know you kind of forget
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: about well you try to forget about after freddie freeman's
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: eighth inning home run off josh hater but he comes
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: in after aaron ashby after starting i believe it was
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: game two of the series corbin burns starts game one
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: they win Brandon Woodruff starts game two of that series.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And they sadly fall in a game that they couldn't
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: score anything.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They couldn't score anything in the entire series.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: But he got it out two days later on short
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: rest to come in in relief and came in maybe
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: just a tick too late. Aaron Ashby was young in
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: his career. They brought him in with the lead. Asked
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: for two innings. He gives up two runs. Gives up
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the game. Not the game, but it's a tie game
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: at that point. You hadn't scored at all throughout the
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: entire series. Try to keep the series alive. Bring it
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: back to Milwaukee for game five. You have a 4-2 lead.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Give up two. Then hand it to Woody.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Think you're giving it to Hayter to try to keep
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: yourself alive.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: And the Freddie Freeman swing happens.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: But in that moment, he throws those whatever it is. 15,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: 20 pitches.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Not realizing for the next five years, his team is
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: going to be a mainstay in the playoffs. And every
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: time he's going to be sitting on the bench in
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: the dugout, wearing the super special hoodie that doesn't allow
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: you to feel all of those feelings that postseason baseball does.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: The sentimentality of it is amazing. And it's sublime that
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: he gets to be a part of it. But to
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: know that I think everybody in the dugout feels the same,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and it's no slight to Chad Patrick. Kyle Harrison was
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the guy that I think we all thought of. In
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: all reality, it was either Patrick or Woody because of
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: the length. I think that Harrison at some point could
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: provide you break glass in case of emergency.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Righty for righty.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I think everybody in that dugout still feels more confident
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: if Woody ends up taking the ball than it would
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: have been for 39. You know, what's amazing, too, is
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: all those other years, the Brewers had kind of counted
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: on him, and it wasn't able to come through because
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: of the injuries. Talk about some of the best years
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of his career in the midst there. So he was
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: part of that equation. For the last two months, the Brewers,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: this is the first time they had not counted on him.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: He was not part of the equation. It was sort
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: of gone in the ether that Woody would be able
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: to pitch. And then that news started to float out that, wait,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: there might be a possibility.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: So this is the one he's going to pitch in.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: This is the postseason, the World Series.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Obviously, when he wasn't counted on, when we didn't expect
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: to have him.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So It's just ironic how those things work out.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: He had said when he re-signed with the qualifying offer,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I knew I had to pitch in this uniform again.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I knew I wanted to pitch in this uniform again.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: He'll get to, hopefully, one more time. 877-794-1973. This is Steve.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Hit us up. Hey, guys, I'm so excited about tonight.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I think the Brewers are going to win.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I'm disappointed that Patrick, who pitched his ass off all year,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: is off the roster. I think if you compare Woodruff
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: this year with Patrick this year, there isn't a big difference.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: So hopefully this isn't the end for Patrick. And you
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: get a chance next year when you're back in the
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: World Series.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Go, Brewers. It is interesting. Where's the bell? Great point
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: You got a lot of time for Chad Patrick in
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: this world and on this team.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: That's true. Although I.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I think it is peculiar he hasn't gotten anything going
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: in the postseason. He was such a big part of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: this team and part of the big team in the postseason.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, he pitched a lot in the postseason last year.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Last year.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: First time in relief, and I think that was a
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: surprise to a lot of us that he was as
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: good as he was in relief.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: In big spots.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: And I'll be honest with you. I've been surprised. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: thought he'd be a bigger part of this picture. So
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's something they see with him
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that they don't think he's the best option.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Is there a health thing? Is there something they don't like?
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Is there something that we're not realizing that could be
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: wear and tear on him? Those are questions one day
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: maybe we'll get an answer on. It does seem peculiar,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: but I will say the thing with Chad is I
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: feel like he's had to deal with being kicked around as.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: The odd man out for a long time.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: So many times he thought he pitched well enough to
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: become a regular starter, but He was always filling in
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: to be a starter in the rotation. They always find
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: a way to get him out of the rotation. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sure in the back of the mind, unfortunately, that's
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: probably something he thinks about. I was like, I can't
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: ever get a shot, but hopefully, hopefully that's not on
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: mind of anybody. And it's all positive vibes in that
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: clubhouse because it's, There has been something with that for
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Chad for a long time, but hey, it is what
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: it is. This is the World Series, and the Brewers
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: made their decision. And he hadn't been pitching at all
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: when we thought he might. You know, it was May
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: over Patrick. It was drawing in these guys. So we're
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: moving on here without him and with Woody for the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: seven-game series. Now, last time Chad Patrick did pitch, he
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: got one out and gave up four runs.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Harrison hadn't. What has Harrison done?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I hear your point. I'm not saying Chad had a good,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: you know, a good last pitch longer than two innings, right? Like,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is Harrison struggled for a long time.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone would walk. It'd be comfortable with
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: him walking on the mound. I just don't. Well, that's not,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: that's not the point though.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: The point is the length option that Patrick just simply
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: doesn't have you. Doesn't give you the Patrick has thrown
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: a hundred innings. And I don't know how many teams
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: can say that they get five guys in a regular
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: season to pitch 100-plus innings, and you make it to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the World Series with two of them not pitching once.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That's what you do with Harrison and Patrick. So Harrison
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: would be your length option, or he gives you that
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: advantage more. Right, because the only reason why you wouldn't
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: have taken the lottery ticket with Woodruff is because you
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: needed to have a length option. Harrison would be your
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: only length option, either him or Drohan, and Drohan is
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: going to factor in already, so he wasn't necessarily a
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: part of the conversation.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: So I get it. I do understand.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: The hesitancy, but with the vibes rolling through, I don't
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: know that that there could have been a better shot
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Benny and Merton. Well, boys, I'm going tonight.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I sold enough chickens to afford tickets at a baby Benny.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: All joking aside, this day seems so surreal to me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I get to go with my parents and the love
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: of my life, Laura. Let's ride. I'm very blessed, lucky,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: and ready to take it all in. I thought about
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: today is when I was, I thought about today. When
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I was little calling my grandpa whenever there was a
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: walk-off from Richie Sexton, Jeff Jenkins, Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: going to the NLDS game one in 2008 with then
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: what we thought was the first time, at that point
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: was the first time in 20 years. My emotions are
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: all over the place. Not only do I get to
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: feel this for myself, but for this entire city and state,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I believe in this team. We're going to go get
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: it done. Everyone else listening, get fired up. His team
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: has what it takes.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Cheer loud. And as Ted Lasso would say, Brew, leave.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Let's go, Brew. I love it. Congrats, Benny.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And I'd like to make all those chickens our superheroes
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: of the day for working hard enough for Benny to
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: make the World Series. Working their butts off, literally, laying eggs.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I think they come out, whatever. Laying eggs, you know.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Doing their job. I believe that's what they come out of, yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's done a great job, Benny, raising all those chickens,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: working that hard. And this is your moment, Benny, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: this is the moment for the chickens. As Marshawn Lynch said,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: take care of y'all bread, take care of y'all chickens.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: And Benny takes care of chickens about as well as anybody.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Glad he's able to celebrate. Glad all of you are
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: able to celebrate it and enjoy World Series Friday.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee. It's amazing.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: One man that's been there for every step of this
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: journey to the fall classic Hunter Baumgart is inside American
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: family field. He joins us coming up next in about
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: 25 minutes. I'll go on the line and give you
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: the sharpest. If that can be described as my play
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: is for Packers and lions sharp is not necessarily the
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: adjective I would use. That's the one that they wrote
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: me for in the copy. So we will give you
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: the most impressive, hopefully winning plays.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Fours away from that first pitch.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, the electricity is flowing throughout this ballpark. Hopefully
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: you can hear me all right.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Good, good, good.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's incredible. I mean, obviously the fans are not in.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: They'll be in in about a half an hour. The
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: cars were lined up as far as the eye could
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: see when we came in here about 1 o'clock. Just
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: had a chance to talk with, obviously, Brandon Woodruff, Logan Henderson,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Pat Murphy, Christian Yeltsin, Al Freelick. They're all ready to go.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: This is kind of you talk to people within the organization,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: whether it be ushers, whether it be just people who
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: have been with this organization so long and have waited
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: for this day, this night. And the fact that we're
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: about three and a half hours away from that happening
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: is so cool.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You don't have to hide that smile, Hunter. I know
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: it's coming out. You can smile. It's exciting. Now, really quick.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: This isn't important, but it's important to me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: So I ask, do you go with the number one
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: in the rotation like Miz with the suit and tie combination?
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: And for game two, did you have that in your
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: head or you just. grab something and go because you're looking.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Good brother that's phenomenal well well i appreciate that this
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: is uh the one you know full full suit that
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: we got here that we're rocking so well you know
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: i i What I did with the NLCS, and maybe
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: we'll have to make additions. Maybe this will just have
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: to be a yearly tradition. Go to the World Series
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: and Hunter buys a new suit every World Series.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You hear that, Patsy?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: We'd like that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Men's wear.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Endorsement.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. But we added the tie from the NLCS
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: to now the World Series. We had to up the
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: game a little bit there. Good, good. And so it
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: didn't take me too long to tie it, which I
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: was proud of as well. So that's all the things
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: that go into thinking about what I'm going to wear tonight.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: That sounds like great progress, my friend. Hunter Baumgart is
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: inside American Family Field. I'm guessing right outside of section 111.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was at 119. You were close.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, we were right on it. I'm in 109. I
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: can give you a little tour for those who are watching.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: We got the MLB Network set right behind me, right.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: About my head there.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: If you're watching over there on YouTube, you can also see,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: of course, the World Series banner in the background. We're
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: just starting to come out onto the field. We'll see
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: the batting practice start at 4 o'clock. And maybe just
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: for kicks, we'll have to just join you and show
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: you some batting practice.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Why not? If you could at 4 o'clock, listen, we
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: don't advocate this all the time. But there will be
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of 6 to Midnight Watchers on YouTube and
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: on Fox Sports 920's Twitter and Facebook pages. Hunter, obviously
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the story of the day is Brandon Woodruff.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I know he's not pitching today. We don't know when
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: he will pitch.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: We just listened to your conversation with Logan Henderson and
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Brandon Woodruff. I want to play this for you. I'm
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: not sure you're going to hear it because the electricity is,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: but our listeners have not heard your video at Hunter
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: B on air is where you can find the video
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: portion of it. Pat Murphy's answer about the decision to
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: put Brandon Woodruff on the world series roster. This is
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: how it sounded like down at American family field.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Kind of marked off when, when he came back from, from, uh, uh,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: making the decision he's not going to have surgery, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: he said, here's my throwing program, here's how it plays out,
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: you know, there's a shot. If we're in the World Series,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: that's right about the time I can be ready. I
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: feel confident. So with that, we didn't think much anything
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: of it at the time. We had a job to do.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: We had our head down, and we watched him progress.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Then we watched him throw, and then we watched him
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: go out in lives. And the way he threw the baseball,
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: we're like, well, better than it was earlier in the
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: season you know as far as stuff we know who
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: the kid is we know his you know that it's
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: not gonna.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: So hunter i know that we're all planning on it
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: being a three outs and and maybe maybe it works
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: out right maybe it plays maybe it plans brandon woodruff
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: has come off of uh injury like three or four
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: times in his career and in all of those starts
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: he's been very very good he has been borderline dominant
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: in the start coming off of an injury now in
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: other situations he's gone through rehab assignments he's gone down
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: this year he said brother give me the ball i'm
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: 30 some years old i ain't pitching double a so
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: i like that attitude i like the moxie he's done
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: it before they know who he is and what he's
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: about what is somebody that's been around the club makes
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: you confident how they'll react to woody taking the ball whenever.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: That is Oh, yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: I think Christian Yelich talked about how fired up the
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: guys are to have him back on the roster. He
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: means so much to that pitching staff. Logan Henderson said
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: it's hard to put into words what Brandon Woodruff means
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: to this pitching staff. And I think for a young
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: guy like him to watch what Woodruff just did, I mean,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: to think about this, guys. July 4th, he walks off
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: that mountain in Arizona, and it looks like that's probably
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the end of his Brewer's tenure. And maybe who knows
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: what happens in his career after that, right?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: They put out the press conference. It sounded like a career.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, Hunter, you're right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, it sounded like a possible retirement. So his opening
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: statement of that presser was, I'm not retiring, but I'm
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: going to have surgery. I'll be out a while, out
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: for the season, etc. Then he goes back and he
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: spends about three weeks at home. Then, you know, Dr.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Meister says, well, you know, let's hold.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Off on the surgery.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Let's get some scans. They get the scans and it's healing.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: And so then he says, well, you know, they have
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: discussions and then he's all right.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: He's going to try to go.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I will never forget being in that clubhouse, just me
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: and a couple other reporters. And Woodruff starts opening up about.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: there's a change of heart here and that he's going
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: to try to come back. And it was just, it
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: was a casual discussion between us and it was just,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: there wasn't anything to it. It was just one of those,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: let's just have a conversation and it turned into that.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: And all of a sudden we're sitting there and we're thinking, okay,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: he's actually gonna try to come back. Now, at that time,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: we then talked to Pat Murphy about 30 minutes later
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: and he's like, hey, any chance we can maybe have
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Woodruff on the roster at some point, we're gonna try. So,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you know, he was kind of like, there's a low possibility,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: but there's a possibility. Of course, everything had to go right, right?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: His rehab had to go right. Is this team getting
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: to the World Series? The only time he was going
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: to pitch was the World Series. He would not have
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: pitched in any of the other series, but they got
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: to the World Series. And then Murph said, like you
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: just heard, his stuff looked better in the live session
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday than it did earlier in the season.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: So if that's the case.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Then, yeah, then I think you want him on your roster.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: And he's playing catch over my shoulder. He was at
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: just a moment ago. So I just think it is incredible,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: the story that you went from surgery to World Series,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: and now it's possible. He didn't commit to, Pat Murphy said,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: they didn't commit to a role, whether it's out of
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: the bullpen starter. I'm sure they're going to go through
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: the series and see what fits. But I'm sure they
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: have maybe some inklings of where they want to go.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Well, and if he's that guy, I mean, you always
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: want him on your roster wherever he can help you.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: And all that matters at this time of the year
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: is getting outs whenever you can.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: So I was talking about Billy.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Billy was noting the fact that he hadn't pitched in
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: the postseason since 21.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: And I was.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Talking about how all the other playoffs seasons, they were
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: counting on him. This was the only one they weren't
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: counting on him. And here he is in the World Series.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: The irony of that in its totality is just overwhelming, Hunter.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: It really is. And it's a great story.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: You think about how many years, 23, 24, 25, he
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: comes in and he's in tears in one of those.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: What is that, 23, I think, when counsel comes out
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and shocks us in that press conference and says Woodruff
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: is not going to be able to pitch. And he
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: comes out and he's emotional. And then obviously we've known
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: what he's went through the last.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Couple of years.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: And last year having that untimely injury and he announces
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: that in St.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Louis.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: And it's just been... What a road for him and
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: to somehow, I mean, just to have the determination and say,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: you know what? At this point, he's risking it and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: he said it's worth the risk, but he knows he's
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: risking it. I mean, he goes out and there's an
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: injury that happens and that's obviously not good for Woody
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: in the future. But this is also the organization he's
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: been with for 10 years. This is in the World Series. Obviously,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: these opportunities don't come around often. So I am, number one,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I'm excited for the crowd pop tonight when he gets
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: announced on the foul line. But then I'm also excited
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: for whenever he comes into a game.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Hunter, you're a little young for this name, but there's
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: a name, Jack Youngblood. He played in a Super Bowl
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: with a broken freaking leg. And I remember at one
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: point he said at the end of it, they were
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: going to have to cut that thing off to keep
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: me off the field. It does feel like there would
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: be a feeling of that for Woody. He'll have to
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: find any way possible his ankle busts. If he ends
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: up feeling something in his shoulder to make sure that
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: they can replace him at any given point.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: We're seeing Ryan Braun at the Bucks game. That's sweet.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Sitting right next to Omar, our guy from Carnivore, which
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: is a gorgeous sight.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'm sure.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee royalty in there. Lineup out. Churio, Bowers, Yelich as
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: the DH. Contreras, Terang, Mitchell, Pratt, Freelick, Hamilton, Sampson. I mean,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: they're 180-something games in now, Hunter. I'm not going to
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: ask you to second-guess Pat Murphy, but are you a
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: little bit surprised as to the construction of the Game 1,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: World Series Game 1 lineup here?
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, that's interesting. You got Yelich hitting third, Bowers
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: hitting second. A couple things that stand out, Freelick in
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: right and Hamilton at third. I don't think Ortiz is,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, maybe the week off helped him. And we
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: didn't ask Pat Murphy this, so I don't want to
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: speak out of turn. But overall, it hasn't seemed Ortiz
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: has been fully healthy. So I wonder how much they'll
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: go to Hamilton. And obviously, it depends on who's on
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: the mound. They got a righty, Nick Martinez on the mound.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: So you stack some lefties, you put Freelick in there, etc., Yeah,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: this is a different construction than I necessarily would have guessed.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: But look, like you said, it's hard to second guess
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: what Pat Murphy does at this point. But that is
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: a little bit different. But look, also Bowers is your
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: NLCS MVP. You want him up there as much as possible. Churrio,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: you want up as much as possible. To have those
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: guys want to... And then Jelic has been one of
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: your hottest hitters in the postseason. So you also want
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: him to hit a lot. And Contreras as well. So,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't mind the terrain going down to
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: fifth just because obviously... Terang has not maybe had the
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: post seasons that other guys have had, but that guy
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: can pop it out in a hurry as well.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Well, obviously he can. And Billy, maybe it's something that
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: you brought up the matchups, the career matchups. A lot
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: of these guys have had against Martinez and a lot
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: of those guys have done well. Terang was a little
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: bit less. So maybe it's as simple as that. We
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: want to try and squeeze out one extra at bat
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: for other guys.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: It's possible.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: You know, they've all wish.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Contreras had a good career against him. The reality is
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: that I've always believed this. You can put these guys
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: anywhere in life. You know, you got to come through
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and your name's called anyway.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is what this is what we come
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: down to.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: William Contreras in his career against Nick Martinez, five for
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: 18 with two homers and a double. Garrett Mitchell, four
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: for 12 in his career with two extra base hits
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: in there as well. Yelly has fared decently well, five
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: for 19. And Bryce Terang, four for 16 with two
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: doubles in there as well. Hunter, the interesting part about
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: that fifth hole is Again, these guys know a lot
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: more numbers and analytics than I ever will. But apparently
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the fifth hole is the one that most likely comes
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: up as a leadoff spot in the second inning. So
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: the de facto leadoff hitter there, number two possibility for
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Bryce Drang. All right, we don't want to keep you
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: too much longer. I want you to soak in all
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: of this excitement and then maybe find another angle and
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: join us a little bit later on into that fourth,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: four o'clock hour. Hunter, as you have perused the ballpark,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Taking in all the sights, the sounds, and the vibes,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: have you allowed yourself to go to the thought that
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: that's the same tunnel you'd run down if the Brewers
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: clinched the World Series?
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Wow, yeah.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: No. I have not thought about that specific thought yet.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: But it is, I mean, just taking everything in and
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: looking around and realizing. I just, it's, you know, and
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Pat Murphy, all these people are, it's hard to put
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: into words, right? You wait 44 years for people. Obviously,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: I haven't waited 44 years, but you wait. goal of
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: every single time that team steps into that spring training
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: facility in Arizona. And this is the night that that
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: leads up to. I mean, the season could still end
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: in disappointment, obviously.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: But every other year has been disappointment in these playoff runs.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: And for this to be the World Series, Christian Yelich,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: I really like what he said. He's like, the atmosphere
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: has been great here in the postseason. But I think
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: tonight's going to be another level for how long everybody's
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: waited for this. So that's what's really cool, and to
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: just soak this all in. Watch, you know, I'm going
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: to be really excited to just watch the fans take
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: this all in, too. Just walk around the concourses and
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: watch everybody take this in. Social media, you.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Know, all that.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Players have talked about how they're watching these reaction videos.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: So keep posting them, everybody. If you're posting reaction videos,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: keep doing it, because the Brewers players are loving it.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: So hopefully there's some more of those moments in the
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: next seven games.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I also saw a sweet shot on at Hunter B
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: on air on social media of your shot of your
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: view of the stadium. They put our boy Hunter Baumgart
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: in the Northwestern Mutual Club. They upgraded our guy Hunter
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: B into the club.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Come on now.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I'm always, you know, I'm trying to get the best
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: view with a, I'm trying to get the best angle
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: for the picture. That's, you know, that's what we're trying
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: to do. And so we're trying to serve the people
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: in that way.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: You're going to have some beautiful, beautiful shots from out
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: there in the facade.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Hunter, thank you enough. Very, very glad you're there.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Excited for all that is going to transpire over the
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: next week.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: But enjoy it tonight, brother. This is going to be
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: one for the ages. Will do. You guys, too.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Everybody out there, enjoy it. And we'll join you guys
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: either later today or from Tampa coming up next week.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: There he is, Hunter Baumgart, joining us live from American
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Family Field ahead of Game 1 of the World.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Series, presented by Capital One. Yeah, that's true. First pitch, 7-16.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: And you could have got that presale if you had
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: a Capital One card, I think. Someone said they did
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: it at least.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Presale to the game?
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I thought you had a special way to get World
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Series tickets with that, but I don't know.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about it. Well, what the hell? I
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: have one.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: They don't like my credit. I'm sure I don't make
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: enough money.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: With your 800 credits score, there's no way that you
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: didn't get that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: That's why they give me that huge, huge credit limit.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure not.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know the credit limit would have covered one
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: of these games, but.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: You can hear the excitement in Hunter's voice. I think
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: we're all feeling it. I think what he's saying is true.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: It's just the totality of the fact that they're there.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: And if you're there every day like he is, it's
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: got to be amazing to experience that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: It's remarkable. The season ticket holders that go.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: To 81 home games a year, let alone, you know, 60, 70,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: if you....
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Cut a couple off for birthday presents, Christmas presents, whatever.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Can't make a couple.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: The 40-game season ticket holders, the 20, the folks that
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: put every entertainment dollar they have for the year in
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: their budget to their 20-game pack and split it with
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: three couples or the four packs that come through on
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the Christmas special and you get an ornament and a
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: couple of tickets and maybe a food and beverage credit.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Everybody that's been there throughout, you get to experience this
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: tonight and everybody's going to take it in in a
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: different form or fashion. Very excited to be able to
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: know that we are some three and a half hours
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: away from it. And again, none of this is being
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: taken for granted. None of this is, you're not putting
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: the cart ahead of any horse here. But the thought
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: of the last. Eight to nine years building up to
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: them getting here to the World Series. Feels like it's
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: just scratching the surface of their competitive window. And this
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: golden age of Brewers baseball that we thought was. And
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: it's been great. Getting to the playoffs each and every year.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: It feels like they're trying to put their flag into
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: the dirt as we have not only arrived as the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: 2026 Milwaukee Brewers, but this organization ain't going anywhere and
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: it's here to stay. You'd like to think so. It
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: sure seems that way. This is a young, talented team.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: They continue to get better. I'm going to take it
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: one further and say we had been in that window.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I think we've been in that window, that golden era.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Testament to the organization the bites of the apple maybe
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: not made it to the world series but i've had
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: good playoff teams contending teams all the way through and
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: it's a testament to what they do and the consistency
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: they built and billy you know you mentioned with hunter
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: it's like It's hard not to dream of that moment
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: to think about winning when.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: You're this close and what that would feel like.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: And that's the toughest thing is to try and avoid
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: thinking about that because that's where you start getting the
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: cookies and the cookies in the oven and stuff like that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: But it's hard not to.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: This is what makes watching sports and cheering for a
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: team and loving a ball team.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: This is what makes life worth living.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I shouldn't say that dramatically, but a sports life worth
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: living is having these dreams alive. and a dream of
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: big things and you're, and you're sure close to it. So, uh,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: it's an exciting thing for all of us in that regard.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: And it's hard to not think about what it might
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: be like if you can get there, but they got
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: a long way to go as we know. But the
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: point is you got to just enjoy the moment and
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: enjoy the experience.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Because it might not come around. There's no guarantees. I, uh,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: I want to ask.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: That same question to our friend Mike Heller because he's
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the only reason I know 109 is the section that
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: has the ramp, I believe, that goes down to the
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: field where you're raced down to because that was the
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: section that he was standing outside of when Pete Alonzo
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: cranked that home run into the.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: What is it, American Airlines Club now? Good question. I
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: don't know who's sponsoring it. Sweet club.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I haven't been in there. It looks awesome. I haven't been.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: It wasn't great that night. One place I never sat. No,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: it was terrible that night. It was awful that night.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: And that exact moment was the time that our friend
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Mike Keller said, I'm never doing that again. So I
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: want to know that Hunter is going to allow himself
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: to do that at game six, which is, uh, I
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: think where this thing ultimately culminates one week from today.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: One week from tonight. Well, that'd be nice. Hopefully the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Brewers are hoisting that commissioner's trophy.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: In about three and a half hours, they'll throw the
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: first pitch of the first World Series game in Milwaukee
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: in over 16,000 days.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: On the other side, we're going to go on the line,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: talk some Green Bay Packers football.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I got, hopefully.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: the sharpest plays for the weekend. Your way to beat
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: the book at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook on the line is
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: next as we talk a little Packers and Lions. Wayne
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Larravee will do that in our third hour, about a
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: half hour from right now. Call it 45 minutes, but
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: we got more World Series coverage as we are rolling
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: through World Series Friday on The Huddle.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, it's Hunter Ball.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: We'll hear from Pat Murphy coming up in about 10
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: minutes from right now. Wayne Larravee at 425 will join
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: us talking some Packers football as they head to the
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Motor City to take on the Kitties and the Honolulu
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Blue coming up 325 kick. Tom Brady, Kevin Burkhardt, Aaron Andrews,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Tom Rinaldi on the call.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: We'll have all the sights.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: And sounds, but the one that you want to be
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: listening to is right here on Fox Sports 920 in Milwaukee.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: 95.7 Big FM as well. You're home for Green Bay
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Packers football because Wayne, Larry, Kuhn, Armin, have.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: You throughout the entire game.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: And then you can be listening to myself and Drew
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Olson on Packers OT, breaking it all down on Sunday
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: night after hopefully a sweep of a weekend for Milwaukee sports.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: The Bucs are beating the Bulls right now. Brewers try
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: to go up on the Tampa Bay Rays. And we
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: go on the line right now at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Bet big, bet bold, and bet above the rest. Your sport,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: our stadium. Let's find you the best ways to win
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: and play this weekend at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. Now, Lions
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: come in a very vaunted offense. However, as the Green
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Bay Packers in their last three games have held their
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: opponents to 14 or fewer points in each of the
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: last three games, longest such run for Packers defenses ever.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Since weeks 12, 13, and 14 of the 2016 campaign.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: This is a, well, Armand might say generational Packers defense.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: There we go. At least last three weeks that we've seen.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I like the under of 53.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know that that's... Right now, a hot take.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it should be all that hot.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I think the Packers have sputtered offensively. They have not
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: played a full 60 minutes. And I think this Packers
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: defense is legit. Do I think they hold down Jameer
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Gibbs to under 100-some yards? I don't know, especially with
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: the news that we got earlier today that Zaire Franklin
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: is out. Zaire Franklin and Edron Cooper out of this ballgame.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Not exactly a ringing endorsement. However, I think the Packers
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: do keep it close. All of these games have been
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: close with the Lions. And I think the Packers keep
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: it within three. I like under 53 and for the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Packers to keep it close and have it within that number.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Give me Christian Watson to score a touchdown, which is
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: plus one 10 on its own. That's seven to one
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: plus 700. As the kids say nowadays at the Pottawatomie
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: sports book where you can become a legend.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Love that.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: And if you go under 53, Packers plus three and
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Christian Watson scores a touchdown and you're turning a $ 20 bill.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: into $ 1. 60, that's not enough money to buy World Series tickets.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: But it just might be to go get you one
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: of those sweet World Series sweatshirts and a hat.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, it might help you with that.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not a miracle worker over here on the line, Armin.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: No.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: But we can do some things for you.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Pottawatomie Sportsbook is doing everything for you to enjoy the
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: fall classic and do it responsibly.
• 40:18
