• 4:06
  Speaker 10: from Saz's State House on the patio on this Chamber
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: of Commerce day. following a glorious sports doubleheader. Let's give
• 4:15
  Speaker 10: our first game ball to Armin Sarian, producer of the program,
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: who's back at headquarters, not here enjoying sliders with us.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And missing out.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Enjoying the nice weather.
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: And he's holding it down back at headquarters, put together
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: the new show open and that opening montage after one
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: of the more glorious sports days.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: In memory in the state of Wisconsin. Oh, my goodness.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: We're working on it, guys. You know, hey, we're working
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: on it. But it was a great day. It was
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: a great day.
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: It was a fantastic day and let's run it back.
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: Let's have the Brewers take a command to an elite.
• 4:47
  Speaker 10: You know, I had a couple of shower thoughts this morning.
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: One I shared on the.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Old X and this one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I liked it, too.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: I saved this one for the radio, though. You know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: sports comes at you fast.
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: And in the span of 18 hours from when that
• 4:58
  Speaker 10: fly ball settled into Mitchell's glove, we fast forward 18
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: hours to the first pitch last night. felt like, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: I know you can look at it a number of ways,
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: but it felt like a must-win game for the Brewers.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: The Brewers must win when Miz is on the mound.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: They must win. They must hold serve.
• 5:11
  Speaker 10: You can't go down 0-1 with Miz on the mound
• 5:14
  Speaker 10: because it'll feel like the job is just too big. Today,
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: it feels like a must-win for the Dodgers because if
• 5:21
  Speaker 10: they go down 2-0, I'm not sure the series is
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: coming back for game six.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, now we're talking. Now we're talking.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Because the Dodgers offense is imploding.
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: They're not playing at the peak of the powers. And
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: last night, it's I would ask, because we're going to
• 5:34
  Speaker 10: talk Packers and Brewers. Everybody says, oh, you've got so
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: much to talk about.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: That makes it hard. Yeah, there's too much.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: It's like trying to.
• 5:39
  Speaker 10: Decide whether I want the pork belly slider or the
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: tenderloin slider.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Knowing the festival combo is still on its way in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the 4 o'clock hour.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: But it's like the Packers thumping of the Bears was unexpected.
• 5:51
  Speaker 10: The Brewers' victory against the Dodgers, maybe not unexpected, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: the margins are so slim in sports these days. The
• 5:58
  Speaker 10: Dodgers executed their plan perfectly, much like the Padres did
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: in game one.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: They got Miz's pitch count up. They got him out.
• 6:03
  Speaker 10: They got into the bullpen and didn't do anything. The
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: Brewers got their two runs in, I got to say,
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: the most unlikely of fashion.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Not Brewer's way.
• 6:12
  Speaker 10: Bryce Trang hitting a home run off of that guy, Scooble,
• 6:15
  Speaker 10: on a middle-league fastball.
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: That pitch.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Apo Taco. That is just unprecedented.
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: And then they play the small ball later with Cooper
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: Pratt putting down a bunt, moving a runner into scoring position.
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: to set up Luis Lara, the 21-year-old kid, and then
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: Ortiz behind him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: And they got a run because Lara hit.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: The first pitch in the middle. Cleanest ball right up
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the middle, yep.
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: Those are unlikely runs. And the Brewers, they were Brewers-ing,
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: and the Dodgers tried to Dodger them. But the Dodgers
• 6:42
  Speaker 10: stuck to their plan. Their guys pitched well, and they
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: still lost.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And they still held the L, Drew.
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: And that's why now if the Dodgers lose today, if
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: the Brewers can get to Yamamoto, if they can put
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: it up, if they can, you know.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: There were some advantages to what the Dodgers did last night.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: They got into the pen.
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: They got a look at Ashby and Uribe and McGill,
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: and they made the Brewers use their high leverage guys.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: But, damn, that was a good win for the Brewers,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: an unbelievable win for the Packers.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable one for the Packers, yes.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, a statement game, a turning point in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: season game.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Well, Wayne and Larry said it yesterday that it's one
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that you can legitimately change the way that you forecast
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and look at the rest of the year. But as
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Matt LaFleur said, as many folks wanted to discuss, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: many people want to talk and take shots, well, let's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: focus on us. Focus on us. And when you focus
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: on the Brewers in terms of how they manufactured their runs,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Luis Lara, 21 years old, I know in the postgame, Drew,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you were in there last night, folks asking Murph, like, hey,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: can you fill us in? Like, why on earth would
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you set up a 21-year-old that barely any of us
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: know his name? But it plays into the way that
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the Brewers were a year ago, of the underdogs going
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: into the series where Murph said, I don't know that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: many guys on that Dodger team could name three guys
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: on our roster, where you have at least a little
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: tick of that, a play to it. But for Bryce Durang,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: for you to ultimately win here in the postseason, you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: going to need your guys to be primetime players. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: he did not have a great NLDS. He was a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: big reason why you won in the DS a year ago. Drew,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: he started out with one of the best plays you're
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: going to see all postseason long on that play across.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: second base, lining up nearly into the shortstop position to
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: be able to throw that first one out. They turned
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: two double plays in the first two innings, and without
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that double play in the second, tonight could have a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: totally different tenor. You would have gone to Miz much earlier.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: If Kike Hernandez does what he generally has done in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, that's either a three-run Dodger lead, a four-run
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Dodger lead. Instead, it's one-nothing, and even though it maybe
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: felt like three or four-nothing... You said it to me
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: as we're driving back from Lambeau yesterday. They're one swing
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: away from tying this game. You're right in it, even
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: though through the first two innings, it felt very slanted.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what a turn of events.
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: The Packers went from bumbling and stumbling to suddenly they're
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: 3-2 and they're back in the mix. Yeah, the Vikings
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: are 5-0, but the division hasn't gotten away from them yet.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: They've still got two against them.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: And, you know, the Bears aren't this indomitable monster that's
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: going to be the best offense of all time because
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: they got stymied again. Jonathan Gannon, shout out to him
• 9:19
  Speaker 10: and the defense. That was the best Packers game top
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: to bottom we've seen in, what, two years?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, and the most complete game that they have played
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: all year while still leaving some room for improvement because
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of meat on the bone trace, Matt. Goodness gracious. Now, apparently,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: those uniforms that you look at on the other side,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you just have to miss three kicks. Ultimately, when you
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: put the ball in a scoring position, as much as
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the Packers did last night, not going to matter. And
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the best way to slow down a run game, crazy idea, Drew.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Just be up 14-0 after your first 20 plays. That
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: was the one thing the Bears hadn't faced was being
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: punched in the mouth the way the Packers did early yesterday,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and that was as satisfying of a win as I
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: can remember.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: Remember when the narrative was that Jordan Love couldn't throw
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: the deep ball? He'll never be elite because he can't
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: throw the deep ball. Look at him dropping in the bucket.
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: Look at him completing a pass when he's getting just
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: drilled and still completing and dropping in the bucket. It
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: was an impeccable effort by him.
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: You're right.
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: Yes, we can nitpick with some things and Trace Mack Sure,
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: missing two kicks and a point after.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: Cairo Santos missed one, too. I don't know if that balances.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: The sheet or if it was a windy day that
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: we didn't notice or something. But that's the one thing.
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: And I guess sports is temporary because there was a
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: time when I didn't feel like you had to worry
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: about Trace Mack. Now we're back to the point where
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: you worry about him and his confidence.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Back to get some oxygen for the kickers.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: But you're going to miss some kicks, miss it when
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: you have a huge lead.
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: And the only drama towards the back, what, 20 minutes
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: of that game was what's the handshake going to look like?
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: That's the only thing that was left to be decided.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And what will be said, it turns out, nothing. Because
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: one side of that handshake line didn't say anything. Didn't
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: even move his lips. Instead, just looked into the camera
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: all pouty-faced. And that was a beautiful, beautiful sight to see.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And to be able to, Drew, last night, after the Brewers' victory,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: after I immediately heard Bryce Terangue, make Alex Rodriguez feel
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: like the oldest man in the 4-1-4 last night, talking
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: about how he played in his debut with Bryce's dad,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: but Bryce hadn't been born yet at that moment. A-Rod
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: got a tough moment at that spot. Then I got
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: to realize it had been nine full hours since the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: finish of the game, and I had not listened to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson's post-game press conference. I had not listened to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: him saltily answer questions for six and a half minutes
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: so I availed myself to that knowing we were going
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to be starting up the two to five huddle today
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the happy hour huddle here at Saz's Statehouse and didn't
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: have to worry about getting up at 4 a.m. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: was able to bask in the glow even more and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: now we get to bask in all of it in
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: this beautiful sunshine today.
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: I mentioned I mentioned last week that I kind of
• 11:52
  Speaker 10: remember going to a Brewers playoff game and then heading
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: and watching the Badgers Curbstomp, Nebraska, Nebraska's first game in
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: the Big Ten.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: That was kind of a doubleheader, I think. I think
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: that was the doubleheader.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Sounds right.
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: I had to dip out of the Brewers game early
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: to get to Madison, and this time I got to see, well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: I got to the game last night.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: You know, you dropped me off. I got there in
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: about the third inning and.
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: Was able to see two, like I was able to
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: bookend one of the greatest days, probably the best day
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: in Wisconsin sports since the Bucs won the championship.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would struggle to say there's been a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: better doubleheader.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: They always go the other way, like when the Brewers
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: got stomped in their opener and then Bucky lost to Duke.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: That black Monday. Yes.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You double it up by, oh, the Packers just lost
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: in the NFC title game. The Bucks are going to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: blow a 20 point lead tonight. That'll be a sweet
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: way to cap it off. Instead, you tied it up
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: in the satisfying way.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Drew.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just me because I did not. That result
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: at Lambeau yesterday. As green and gold and as much
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: as I love to carry the G throughout this great
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: state of Wisconsin, I did not see that outcome coming.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And when you get to celebrate the unforeseen, that made
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: it so much sweeter to know that you beat that
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: team and that coach that way. Oh, that was good.
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: I think the baseball equivalent of what the Packers pulled
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: off yesterday was especially given the narrative that was developing
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: on Friday going into the game, watching the panel shows
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: that I hate watch on a regular basis, given the
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: narrative that was bubbling, that Packers result, I think the
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: equivalent would be a Brewer's sweep of the Dodgers. That
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: would be the shocking, like, oh, my God.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: I'm with you on that. Yeah, for sure.
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: That's kind of what we're in. We're one quarter of
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: the way to making that a reality.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Alright, we're off and running. We're live at Saz's today,
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: our first afternoon show.

  Speaker 10: Saz and his crew, 55th and State. They're running shuttles
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: to the ball game. This is the place to park.

• 14:39
  Speaker 10: He's also going on the road to L.A. After that,
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: we'll catch up with Wayne Larrabee, the voice of the Packers,
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: who was absolutely giddy yesterday during the broadcast. He and
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: Larry sounded like they were having a great old time.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: And why wouldn't they? It was a great day to
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: be a sports fan.
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: That was definitely one of the 10% days of being
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: a sports fan.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: In fact, that might have been a 1%-er.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, it's going to be tough
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: to find another 9% to hang with that one.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: It was special, and we're having a special day here
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: at Saz's. It's glorious. Come and see us. Keep listening.
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: We're having some technical difficulties on some fronts, but we're
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: working through it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Hang with us.
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: You're listening to The Huddle. Drew, Billy, and Armin huddled
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: up on a Monday in the good land on a
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: glorious Victory Monday. Victory Chicken Monday, or today we might
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: have to do Victory Sliders Monday because that's what we're
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: having here at.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Saz's on the patio.
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: As folks are getting ready to take the shuttle up
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: the hill to American Family Field. Game 2 of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: National League Championship Series gets underway at 4 o'clock today.
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: If you're going to the game, you need a ride,
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: park here and jump on the shuttle.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: This is the spot.
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: If you're not going to the game and you're hungry
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: and thirsty, this is the spot. Watch inside Saz's, the
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: finest 55th and State Street. Check it out, saz's.com, the website.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Hunter Baumgart is a little busy at the ballpark at
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: this juncture. So we're going to call an audible right now. What,
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: is there something going on there?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something going on.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: There's something going on there? Something's going on in Hunter's eye.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: He's a busy man.
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: So we're going to call an audible at the line
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: of scrimmage, and we're going to hear from Brewer skipper
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: Pat Murphy in his pregame meeting with reporters.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: Armand, hit the button. Let's hear from the skipper before
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: game two.
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: It's just been a godsend in and of itself, but
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: I never like to talk about the pitching separate because
• 16:19
  Speaker 11: defense affects pitching, offense affects pitching, vice versa. You know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: they all intertwine, so The team understands that it's all
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: hands on deck. And they know what we've got to
• 16:33
  Speaker 11: take care of business day in and day out.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: With the lineups, which is obviously left to right, sort
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: of a natural thing, but are there aspects of the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: swing profiles of the lefty bats that you like in particular?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Very tough repertoire, obviously, but things.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: That you like there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: I mean, I wish we could, that paddle that I
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: was talking about buying these kids, I wish we could
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: go to the plate with that today against Yamamoto because.
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: We need a little bigger surface on that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: Barrel of the bat he's so effective and so good
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: but yeah I mean Yelly's been he's had an incredible
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: last month I mean he's been very very good and
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: I don't know that I mean Vaughn did a great
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: job yesterday and he's handled Scooble nobody handled Scooble you
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: know I mean he's so good but Vaughn's had some
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: quality at bats often he did have one yesterday But
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: I don't know that I'd do that again. You know, man,
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: I think Yelly going the way he's going, I think
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: it's a great statement for our team in that everybody
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: recognizes here's our MVP, here's our guy that has done
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: so much and he stood there and was as good
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: a teammate as you could ever believe. And yeah, so
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: in retrospect, I'm happy it happened, but I don't know
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: that I'll do it again.
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: But Yeah, I think Sal needs to be in there
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: and Yelly needs to be in there.
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: Jason.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: Hi, Murph. First quick question.
• 18:04
  Speaker 12: Have you heard from Springsteen today?
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: Have not. But I listen to them. What do you
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: listen to? Thunder Road is my go-to. And what else?
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: Darkness on the Edge of Town. Love the song.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: God.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: And they mean something to me. And I got this book.
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: It tells me what the songs mean and how we
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: wrote and what was behind it. It's got this huge thing.
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: I just got it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: And I don't want to read it now because that
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: song means that to me.
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: So I don't want it to change.
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: Second question. I know you love to play psychologist.
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: Dave Roberts has walked into this room a couple times
• 18:44
  Speaker 12: and talked about the advantage of making your team uncomfortable
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: by taking leads in the games. How about the meaning
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: of taking a lead.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: In the series?
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: You obviously weren't able to do that last year in
• 19:01
  Speaker 12: this series. When you're up 1-0 and a best of
• 19:03
  Speaker 12: seven on that team, is that an advantage psychologically or
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: in any other way for your group?
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think it gives our group, who's relatively speaking,
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: you know, relatively young, it gives our group a feeling of, yes,
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: we can. And that's the most important feeling you can have,
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: in my mind. Fundamentally, it starts with a belief. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: I think that coming out of that game on top
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: yesterday and winning the games in San Diego the way
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: we did, I mean, Hakeem Euchre knocked that ball down
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: in game one.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And.
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: The way we won game two, you know, was just like,
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: you better start believing. So we haven't played great, but
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: we're playing against the best. We're facing the best pitching
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: on the planet. And I'm hoping we break through and
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: keep that belief.
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: But it starts with that belief. Go to Adam on
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: the left.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: We have Gasser now on the list as your game
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: three pitcher.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: Are you willing to share? Are you recommending that?
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: No, it's on Mike's list, so it's official.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: That's a great joke. That's a great joke, Adam. It's
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: on Mike's list, so it's official.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Would you share with us, though, what you've discussed with
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Dustin May about his role here in these games like
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: today and moving forward?
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: How do you see using him? I mean, he could
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: start game four. You know, who knows?
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: But he's got a role on our team right now
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: of pitching and getting outs. And we've told him that, hey,
• 20:51
  Speaker 11: we need you to be ready every day to get outs.
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: And if we've got an update and a status, we'll
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: let you know.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: Go to Tyler.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Murph, how do you get such buy-in from your players
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: for your style of play?
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, anybody can bunt at any time.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Anybody can be benched.
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: How do you get the buy-in? I don't see it
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: that way.
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: I'm not trying to avoid your question, but you never
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: know what buy-in you have.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: I think these guys.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: Want to win for each other. I don't think I
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: really play that big of a role. I know I
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: do with you guys.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: You guys like listening to my nonsense. Or maybe you don't.
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: I know some of the local guys don't. I just
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: don't in style of play I mean, we're just trying
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: to play great defense. We're trying to throw strikes. We're
• 21:48
  Speaker 11: trying to throw a lot of different looks at them.
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: And we're trying to get the first and take a
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: left and keep going. I mean, every team's doing that,
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: you know. I don't think we play any different than
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: anybody else.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: I really don't. And I hear it a lot. I
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: love the way you guys play.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I don't.
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: You know, there's plenty of days I don't, you know, but.
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: buy-in from players. I think they're just great dudes that
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: care about each other. I don't think they're buying into
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: anything I'm doing. I think they're buying into each other
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: and they're buying into winning at a big-time level. Regardless
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: of the odds or the adversity or what the scenario is, I.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: Think it's about them. I really do.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Steve in the middle of the second round.
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: Okay, Steve.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Logan Henderson hasn't really had a hiccup his whole career.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: No, he hasn't.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: Hasn't allowed more than three runs, I think, in a
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: single start.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: What is it about him that's enabled him.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: To be as steady as he's been throughout?
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it starts with the person, first and foremost. Spend
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: time with the guy, and you can see for yourself
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: because he's a special dude.
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: He's accountable. He's resilient. He's reliable. He's kind of discovering
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: who he is as a pitcher.
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: He's as good a teammate as you ever want to have.
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: He just cares about others. So that's at the core.
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: And then as he goes out and pitches, he's got
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: a low-release fastball that plays up. He's got a really
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: good changeup. Throws a cutter and a breaking ball to
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: go along with it. So, you know, he's kind of
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: a complete pitcher, and he can command and educate that
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: heater in kind of a cool way.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: So, yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: He didn't throw the ball great. He's in uncharted waters
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: as far as innings and things like that. But all
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: our guys are. But, yeah, he's been– when you think
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: about the heroes of the team or the guys that
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: really made this club so special, he's definitely at the forefront.
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: What about the.
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: Boys in the second round? You just mentioned how great
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: Young Road is. What have you discussed? Are you rooting
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: for the Dodgers? it took you a while.
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: I saw mom put her hand across your mouth like
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: don't say it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Um you just mentioned how yamada has been so great
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: what have you discussed with your headers about um changing
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: their approach in order to be.
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: Successful yeah great question um We've discussed Yamamoto. Guys are
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: not going to change that much, but their mindset, what
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: they're looking for, their conviction, they can change. Obviously, we
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: know he relies on six different pitches. He's good at
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: them all.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: When you least.
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: Expect it, he'll flip that breaking ball in there and
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: freeze you. But he relies on a lot of heater,
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: a lot of split off the heater. Then he can
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: cut you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: He can sink you. He can throw this one. Throw
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: a slider.
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: He's just super, super talented.
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: He's on you. He's, like, coming at you all the time.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: You have so many great young players on the team.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: That have stepped up, like Lara and Pratt, and now
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Logan Henson.
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: Is going to get the ball.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: What have you said to.
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: Them to help them mentally be prepared for this season?
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think my words don't mean nearly as much
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: as their teammates' words. And I think they've got a
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: bunch of teammates that kind of, you know, check them
• 25:41
  Speaker 11: all the time and give them encouragement and let them
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: know that Lara sits in there with Contreras and Churio
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: and Uribe. And, you know, they give Lara a hard time,
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: but they also probably like what you do, your brother.
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: You give him a hard time, but then when the
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: push comes to shove, you know, you put your arm
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: around him and you love him. And I think that
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: our guys do the same thing to them, and that
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: helps them. Henderson has that same group around him of
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: starting pitchers that they're all young, but he's got Woodruff
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: in there and people like that that have been through
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: it that mentor him and say things to get them
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: to relax a little bit.
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: What was your first impression of William Contreras when he.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Got here, and how have you seen him grow into.
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: The leader that he's become now? Um, So I'm really
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: close with Walt Weiss, you know, of the Braves.
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: So anytime there's a Braves-Brewers transaction, we just immediately pick
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: up the phone.
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: We expect it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: So Walt filled me in and said, I'm going to
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: tell you, you're getting something special. You know, this is
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: a special guy. I said, you know, you've got to
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: peel away the onion a little bit and kind of
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: look behind a few things that come at you strong.
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: But he's just grown. He wants to win very, very badly.
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: The job he did yesterday with Miz was incredible. He
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: doesn't get the credit.
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: He was incredible.
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: Between every inning, he's looking them in the eye, sitting there,
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: you can do this, man.
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: You can do this. It was amazing. It was amazing
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: what William did.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: That's Brewers manager Pat Murphy heading into game two. of
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: the National League Championship Series. First pitch is about 90
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: plus minutes away.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Drew and Billy huddled.
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: Up at Saz's Statehouse, 55th and State, the finest. Got
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: the shuttles running nonstop here, getting people to the game.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: If you're looking for a place to watch the game
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: and have great libations and food, feel free to come
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: and join us here.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good place to be here for the, listen, when
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: they fire out a playoff menu, Drew, that's going to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: be the hitter. We've already had the sliders running through here,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: but a mini brat trio? I feel like that's the
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: only way to celebrate a Brewers playoff game and an
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: absolute massacring of the Chicago Bears yesterday.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: As it happens, we are joined now by the voice
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: of the Packers, our pal Wayne Larravee. And, Wayne, it
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: was a great sports day yesterday in Wisconsin. We're hoping
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: for the Brewers to continue the good vibes. But in
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: our opening montage, we were listening to a smash.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Guys, I can't quite– you've cut out on me.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Well, Wayne Arman here.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: I think we lost those guys for a second.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Can't hear you guys.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Can't hear your audio there a little bit, Drew, so
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: we're still working on that. But, Wayne, I'm sure they're
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: talking about the surprising result yesterday and the excitement it
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: was to watch the Packers come out the way they
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: first came out.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: And to dominate the Bears early on.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: And that was surprising for both of us, I think.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really was, Armand.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: You know, they came out and the Packers jumped all
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: over them, you know, moved the football, scored touchdowns on
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: their first two possessions. I thought that was big. It
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: set the tone for the rest of the day. And so, no,
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: it was a great day for the Packers.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: One they needed.
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: We knew going in they'd have to play their best
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: game to win, and they played their best game and
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: won resoundingly.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Well, they really did, and then they held on. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: thought that was key as well, Wayne. You can get
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: out to a great start, but we've seen that. before
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: from the Packers a few times when they've had trouble
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: holding on to leads like that. And in this situation,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: they were able to maintain. I mean, defensively, offensively, they maintained,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: and not only that, they completed it. And I think
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: mostly because of the defense creating so many takeaways.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so too. Obviously, Chicago didn't have Caleb Williams.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Would he have made a difference? Sure, probably. Would he
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: have won the game for them?
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Who knows.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: But the fact is they didn't have him, and the
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: Packers took advantage. I thought they got pretty good pressure
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: on the quarterback. They disguised coverages in the secondary. The
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: Green Bay safeties are playing just outstanding, and so are
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: the cornerbacks. I really think the key to the game, though, Armand,
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: and you may have heard us talk about it in
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: the pregame, with Larry and John Kuhn I thought if
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: they could get this thing into the secondary of the
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: Bears more specifically to the corners of the Bears defense
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: the Packers offense against the Bears defense if they could
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: get to the corners I thought they could win and
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: they did they got the ball to the corners they
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: made those big plays quite frankly you know Tyreek Stevenson
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: and Jalen Johnson are two fine quarterbacks you know they'd
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: be starting on our team but I had noticed throughout
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: the first four weeks of the season, they'd been giving
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: up some plays. Now, Chicago plays that man-to-man defense more
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: than anyone except one other team in the league. So
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: they're second most in the league in man-to-man defense. And then,
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: you know, the other thing they do, single safety high. Well,
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: if you play like that, you better have a heck
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: of a pass rush.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Chicago does not.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: They do not get great pressure on the quarterback, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: therefore their quarterbacks have been getting eaten alive this year.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was something that you know that Matt LaFleur
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: saw on tape. He really keyed in on that part
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: of the game plan. And they said to themselves.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: What can I do?
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: I can puncture this defense deep. I can puncture these
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: corners deep. And the Packers did a good job with
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: that and definitely were going after that specifically to try
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: and create that matchup, that mismatch in this game. And
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: in that sense, I'm sure it's a satisfying thing for
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Matt LaFleur to be able to find that mismatch point.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: You know, Armin, one of the things I was thinking
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: about is that game unfurled yesterday, so to speak, for
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: lack of a better adjective. I kept thinking about how,
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: you know what? The Packers actually do move the football
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: well against the Bears. The Packers match up well against
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: the Bears. And even at the end of last year,
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: with all those players out, the Packers should have beaten
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: the Bears in Chicago at the end of the regular season,
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: in Chicago during the playoff game. They could have won
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: three in a row over the Bears, quite frankly. pretty simply,
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: but they didn't, and that changed the narrative around these
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: two franchises for the entire year. I thought yesterday was
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: more of the same. The Packers can move the ball
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: against that Chicago defense, and Dennis Allen does a great job.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: They have good players on that defense.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: The Green Bay has proven over the course of the
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: last two years now they can move the ball against Chicago,
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: and that certainly was the case over 400 yards of offense,
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: and Jordan Love, just as good as he's ever been.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: And his accuracy in the last couple of weeks wasn't
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: quite what we all expected, and a lot of us
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: attributed that to him getting hit a lot. Well, he's
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: only been hit seven times in the last two games,
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: and his accuracy, remarkably, not coincidentally, has.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Gotten a lot better.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Absolutely well billy drew her back here and uh i
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: took all the good questions sorry boys.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: You did huh oh my goodness well my question was
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: we were listening to uh wayne and larry's calls in
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: our opening montage and you sounded like you were at
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: a a great barbecue or a great party what were
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: you having as much fun in the booth as came
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: across the airwaves wayne.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah we were um it was a lot of
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: fun and you know again our job is to document
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: what's happening in the game but We certainly want the
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: Packers to win, that's for sure. And so, you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: when they play like that, it was just a lot
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: of fun.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: And it was great. It was great to see.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: And, you know, they've taken a lot of shots in
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: the media and, you know, certainly from fans and that
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: type of thing. It was wonderful to see them come
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: out there against a Chicago team that felt very good
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: about itself and was playing very good football and basically
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: destroyed them the way they did.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and all fans, media, and opposing coaches like to
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: take their shots at the team. Wayne Larrabee joining us,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: courtesy of Miller Lite. Legendary moments start with a light.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Pottawatomie Sportsbook, your sport, our stadium, and Wisconsin Concrete Coatings. Wayne,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: you mentioned the hits on Love and the lack of
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: them there. Travis Glover getting another start. I don't know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: there were a whole lot of us that before warm-ups
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: had anticipated that would be the case, but Kevin Zeitler, since,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: whether it's on the practice field, in the meeting room,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: They have been a lot more calm, and the two
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: sacks that ended up coming up yesterday, I thought Larry
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: had a good point. You know, Lincoln Tomlinson's doing what
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: you're taught, go and find work. He actually hits Austin
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Booker into Jordan Love. The pass protection, the really underrated
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: part of their deep ball ability yesterday.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: No question, Billy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: You know, if you're going to hit shots downfield, you
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: need time to allow those shots to create downfield, allow
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: the receiver to get open downfield. And they had, you know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: Love looked as comfortable in the pocket as I've seen
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: him all season. So, yeah, kudos to the offensive line.
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: They've taken a lot of heat over these first five
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: weeks of the season. But really in the last two weeks,
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: and certainly yesterday, they were really good.
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: Did that feel like an inflection point to you, Wayne?
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: Because this all goes away if they don't play well
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: Sunday night against Dallas.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: But it feels like they finally put it together.
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: And Billy and I were racking our brains trying to
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: think of the last time the Packers played such a
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: complete game, the way they moved it. The only thing
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: with the kicking game aside, but five takeaways, five nothing
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: in turnovers. Jordan Love throwing it wherever he wanted to
• 35:41
  Speaker 10: whomever he wanted. It's been two years since we've seen
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: them hitting like this.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know what, Drew? I mean, is it a
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: turning point in the season? I'm with you.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: Ask me after the Dallas game next Sunday night. And
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: if they beat Dallas, yeah, it probably was a turning point.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I look at Atlanta. Atlanta playing terrific football.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: Since they came to Green Bay and won their first
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: game of the season, and I know they got beat
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: last night in a tight ball game in overtime, but nonetheless, yeah,
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: there are different points in the season where it's going
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: to go one way or the other, and hopefully this
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: is where it goes a positive way. It goes up
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: for the Packers, but I don't think we'll really know
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: that until we see what happens in the Dallas game.
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: A lot of Bears fans, Wayne, are trying to cope
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: with what happened yesterday, and they're telling themselves, well, we
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: were injured, and they beat a backup quarterback, so You know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: no big deal. They didn't say anything when Malik Willis
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: was on the field for the Packers. And the Bears
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: did have some attrition during the game. They lost some T.J.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Edwards.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: They lost some guys that were losing guys steadily. They
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: were walking up the tunnel. But the Packers were without
• 36:43
  Speaker 10: Micah Parsons, Josh Jacobs, Zach Bacco-Boweli. They were without Edger
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: and Cooper. It's like, isn't that about the same? We
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: always say next man up. But that was that a
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: factor what happened to them in game? Or do you
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: feel like this would have happened no matter who was
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: on the field?
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: I just think the Packers were primed and ready to
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: play a big game. And, you know, you're right about
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: the injuries. You know, yeah, we could say, well, they
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: didn't have Caleb Williams. You know, the Packers didn't have
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: Micah Parsons and all the players you mentioned. And, you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: most of them aren't going to, they're not going to
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: have most of those guys. But I thought, you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Tyron Hopper's a guy who, okay, he's not Edger and Cooper. Okay,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: Edger and Cooper, folks, for those of you who aren't
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: paying attention, was blossoming into one of the top, difference-making,
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: field-tilting linebackers in the game today, okay?
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: He's gone.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: Tyron Hopper's a guy who, if you look at him athletically,
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: he does kind of mirror a little bit some of
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: the qualities that Edger and Cooper brings to the party.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: We think Hopper's a great athlete. Is he the player?
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Cooper is probably not, but fact is he showed he
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: can do some things out there, made a nice interception
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: in that game yesterday. So, you know, excited about him.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: I think he's going to get more and more of
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: an opportunity on the field. You mentioned Travis Glover. I mean,
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: we're all waiting for Kevin Zeitler to start at right guard,
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: aren't we?
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: Travis Glover played well in Tampa, and Matt LaFleur said,
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: you know what? He deserves another start, and he played yesterday.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Well, and to see them earn more opportunities there, you
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: mentioned Hopper. He has such an opportunity here and had
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: a great in the playoff game, took advantage of it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: The opportunities on the outside, Wayne, they made moves this
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: offseason that to give the ball more to Matthew Golden,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: whether that was Romeo Dobbs leaving for four years and
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: 70 million in free agency, the Dontavian Wicks trade. It
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: was to consolidate maybe some of the targets. And I
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to be prisoner of the moment, but here
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I am after five weeks. Wayne, they might have the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: best wide receiving duo in the division. Jordan Addison and
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, JJ is always going to be number one,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I think, in the division. And Jamison Williams and Amon
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Ross St. Brown in Detroit are very, very good, but
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: right now they have two of the top 12 in
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: terms of production-wide receivers, and I don't see it slowing
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: down anytime soon.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: No, I don't either, Billy.
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: You know, I think the passing game's a little different
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: than was designed because of the loss of Jaden Reed
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: in the slot, and I think that's a loss that
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: is very subtle. A lot of us who are laymen
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: probably don't notice it very much, But it is a loss,
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: and it changes the way they're going to do business
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: downfield in the passing game. But that doesn't mean you're
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: not going to get the ball deep. That doesn't mean
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: Tucker Kraft's not going to make a deep crossing pattern
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: and catch a 40-yard pass. You know, one of the
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: things that jumped out to me at the game yesterday,
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: there are two players that we've talked a lot about
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: last week. Remember, guys, we talked about Devontae Wyatt and
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: Tucker Kraft.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: They're on the field, but they're not back yet.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: Well, I thought both took major steps forward yesterday.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: They're getting close to being back.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: You're absolutely right, Wayne.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Tucker was great, absolutely.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Tucker was fantastic. We just had a Pabst fall on
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: the deck here.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: A blue ribbon spill.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: A blue ribbon spill. We've got to get this guy
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: a new beer. We just had a major accident here.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: That's not going to be a good... He does not
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: have a Yamamoto shirt on, so I was hoping that
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: that would have been a good omen. That's why we're
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: drinking Miller Lite.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: That's why we're.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Drinking Miller Lite.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: That's correct, Armin. If that would have been a Miller Lite...
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: That would not have been a legendary move by my
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: man over here. Great work.
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: Wayne, on the way out, since your Yankees are gone,
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: are you all in with the Brewers now and with
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: the rest of us?
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. I was before. I want to see them get
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: to the World Series. I really do. I think they
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: and Tampa are the two best teams left. I really do.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Now the Dodgers will have something to say about it.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a long series.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: But, boy, to get that win last night, I don't
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: know how you guys felt about it, but I'm sitting
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: there saying to myself, you know, if they win this game,
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: you know, it will give them that dynamic of confidence that, Hey,
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: we can beat the Dodgers in October. We sure as
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: all hell can beat them in July, but you know what?
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: We're going to beat them in October. And that's when
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: it really counts. And I thought that was the significance
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: of getting a win last night. John Smoltz felt they
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: had to get a win on a game where Mizorowski started,
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: whether he won the game or not. He had one,
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: if he starts a game, they've got to win.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Well, they did. But I also think, um, Bigger picture,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: just watching.
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: The body language of the players and all, I think
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: it kind of gave them, all right, we're going to
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: do this.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: We can do this.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: We can beat these guys in October. It's not the
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: regular season. It's the postseason, and we can beat them
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: in the postseason. So hopefully that carries on.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Just being unburdened by the whole thing. We didn't get
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: swept this year. Right away, we beat them in last year.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: That's a burden lifted. Now we get on to the
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: business of trying to win the series.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Clear the first bar.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Don't get swept.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Armin's learning way too many of my old tricks. Set
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: the bar as low as possible and then you.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Can always win.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: 10 for 10 in the high jump when it's a
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: foot high.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: That's the way I feel about loading the dishwasher. Yes.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Set it very low.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: Set the bar very low. Wayne, thank you for joining us.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: It's always a treat. We will talk to you again
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: on Friday, and let's keep the good vibes going.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Sounds good, guys. Take care.
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: The great Wayne Larrabee, voice of the Packers, joining us.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: Brought to us by Miller Lite. They don't get dropped
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: on the deck.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: No, no, you're not dropping a legendary Miller Lite.
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: No.
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: Also by Pottawatomie Sportsbook, your sport, our stadium, and by
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: Wisconsin Concrete Coatings.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you, my grandpa worked at the Pabst Brewery.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: He'd be rolling over right now if he knew that
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: tall boy hit the deck like that. Oh, Harry would
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: be pissed.
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 42:39
  Speaker 10: Welcome back to the huddle, or should I say welcome
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: to the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison,
• 42:45
  Speaker 10: Drew Olsen, Bill Schmidt, live from Saz's Armin Sarian's back
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: at headquarters at the Megaplex, holding it down. We had
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: some technical issues with over the air and the stream.
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: We've been on YouTube the entire show.
• 42:58
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
• 42:59
  Speaker 10: Had Wayne Lariveon. We heard from Pat Murphy and his
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: pregame presser. But we're all good now. So this, you know.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: Growing pains.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Now we're one hour away from first pitch, and you
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: get into the final time when folks are either making
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: the last decision. Are we parking? Are we trying to
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: suffer through getting into lots? spending almost $ 50 on general parking,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: or am I going to go down to Saz's, jump
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: on the shuttle, go say hi to Drew and Billy,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: and then go to and from the game? That seems
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: like the best answer.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it is, I think.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: And we did, you know, Red Hot Tim Nott did ask,
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: was that just Billy and Drew trying to give themselves
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: time for the sampler platter, you know?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: My ribs did get here, like, at the exact moment
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: that the power went out. I don't know how that happened.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: If someone's sticky fingers or, you know, with the Saz's sauce,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: it's more of a sassy sauce. So my sassy fingers
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: maybe just did, but I don't know.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Sassy fingers.
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: That's one of my favorite bands. I saw them once
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: at the rave. Sassy fingers. It was incredible. They were amazing.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, they can really let it rip.
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: The big stage.
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: So as we move forward, we're with you until 5 o'clock.

• 44:13
  Speaker 10: the latest from what's happening at 1265 as the Packers
• 44:16
  Speaker 10: are basking in the glow of a victory over the
• 44:19
  Speaker 10: always hated but never feared Bears and of course game.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Two in just an hour away and I think we
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: got to hear a little bit of this Jake Bauer
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: stuff I mean online everybody.
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: Is talking about his soundbite you can make a case
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: that he's the Brewers MVP position player wise this year
• 44:33
  Speaker 10: and he had an interesting yeah you're right it was
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: an interesting podium for him and we're going to spin
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: through some of that sound get your thoughts As the
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: Brewers go into game two, is this a must-win for
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: the Dodgers?
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: Kind of feels that way to me. I like the.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Shoe on the other foot, Drew. That's what I'm talking about.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: We don't want to go down 2-0 when the other
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: team's got the home field advantage. But we're here all
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 44:51
