  Speaker 1: Rolling through a Wednesday in the good land. A hot
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: take hump day, if you will. A victory Wednesday. Drew, Billy,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and Armand bringing it to you. Fox Sports Radio, 920 Milwaukee,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio, Upstreaming Live, Facebook X, and YouTube.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: The Brewers are the champions. of the National League Central Division.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Fourth time in a row.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Thanks for reminding me, Drew. It is a victory Wednesday.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: That means that we should get some chicken today.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We should.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I guess that means we can get that biscuit that
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I was craving coming up on Monday that we didn't
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: end up snagging.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to definitely get some chicken. From where, I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, but there's a lot of options. We need
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: some hot takes, Greg. Give them to us at 877-794-1973.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: That'll get you into the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Um, hot take.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: One of the things I thought about with this Brewers team,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and again, it's a day I think to reflect, not
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to look ahead and with dread about what's come and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to worry that they might not win the ultimate prize.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Look back, look at how, where this team has come.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: We were, we've been talking about the Yelich era, the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: 2000 from 2018 on. It's the golden age of Brewers
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: baseball in terms of post-season appearances, division championships, uh, in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: terms of victories, the fourth most victories in all of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: baseball since 2018, since Christian Yelich's arrival. We're calling it
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the Yelich era, the golden age. So enjoy it. It's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a day to look back. And then I'm thinking to myself,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and then you look around at the current roster, look
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: at what they've done with this group of guys that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I still think the window is just opening for this
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: team because there are a lot of young guys that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: are locked up and they got more guys coming and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they're poised to be good for a while if we
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: have a season next year.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, whether or not they play
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: 100 games, whether they play 20, whether they play no games,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm going to like their chances next year, 28, 29, 30,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: best they've been set up in a while.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: As you look at this Brewers roster, and I was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: thinking about this because everything is through the prism of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the Packers. What if the Brewers went into the playoffs?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: What if they had to play from, let's say, mid-August?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: They were without Miz and Terang. Both had suffered injuries
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in mid-August. Would you expect the Brewers, would they have
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: won the division? Would they have the expectation? Would they
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: perform well in the playoffs without those two guys? They
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't perform well in the playoffs. Winning the division would.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I guess I could have seen it, Drew, just because
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: they had a substantial lead.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Maybe. They could have made it, I think.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe, but it would have been pretty tough. But it
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: would have been tough, dude.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: You're talking about then six weeks of the emotional swoon
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: that you had, just like when you found out that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Woody wasn't going to pitch two years ago. Exactly.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And the point there is we expected and we were
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: all disappointed when the Packers did not play well without
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Tucker Kraft and Michael Parsons.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Still haven't played.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they still haven't.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Because I look at Micah Parsons like he's the Packers
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to me, the best player on the team.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: He's the best player on the team, yep.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And arguably in the discussion as the best player in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the league at his position. Tucker Kraft, maybe second or
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: third best player on the team, one of the best
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: players in the league at his position. Don't even want
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to talk about quarterback rankings, but to me, the only
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: guys on the brewers that are the best players of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the position are Ms. Who's going to be named that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: when he gets the Cy Young award at the banquet
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in New York in January, and maybe to rang whose numbers,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: even though he goes under the radar, his numbers, ain't
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: nobody else in a discussion for the best in their
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: position in the league of the position.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Contreras maybe on a good day.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And when he's high on a good role, but there
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: are other catchers that you would probably like one of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the guys play for the Braves.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So you have those guys. What's the minimum?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And I would ask Billy, like how many teams, first
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of all, win playoff games in advanced, even plus with
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: two of their best players out, like historically and in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: recent memory, did the Seahawks and Patriots. And we've been
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: talking about a lot because they were the last two Superbowl.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Did they have any catastrophic injuries that they lost guys?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, they were graced pretty well with schedule
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and injuries. I'm trying to rack my brain. Charbonnet goes
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: down for the Seahawks. but they had their other running
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: back won the Superbowl MVP. So I can't really say
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that that was a groundbreaking injury.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Well, but that's the thing. So a guy did step up,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: but they did lose. Yes. A hundred percent.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They lost one of their top running backs. As it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: turned out, they elevated a guy who was better, might've
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: been better.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Which actually they're, I remember a team taking a similar
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: course to a Super Bowl title, and that was the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: 2010 Packers, who had a slew of injuries.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And some of the guys that came in and stepped
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: in ended up performing.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Better than the guys that they replaced.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: And seeing Al Harris exhibit A, Al Harris thought he
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: was going to come back and have his spot. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: they're like, wait a second, we actually really like this
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Tremont Williams and Sam Shields cat.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to roll with these guys instead. They both rolled. Yes, exactly.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So the point of it is, when you're looking at
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a team, the.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Brewers, it's another thing that they deserve props for. is
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that they do this with only two, you know, they're, they're,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they don't have Aaron judge and Stanton, like all this,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know, they'll never go out and be able to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: sign a free agent. Cy Young winner, like a guy
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: who's at, you know, the scoobles of the world. but
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they developed one and they have him.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And, and they have another one that's pretty dang close
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and Henderson that they could have given up for that
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: run with Scooble.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And sure.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Who knows his seven shutout innings the other night were
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: pretty dang good. I'm not going to sneeze at what
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he's going to do, but they've now developed them and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: you're right. They found them in different ways. They have
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: maybe two guys that would be considered the best guy
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: at the position. But as Arman mentioned earlier on today,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and Bryce Durant wasn't an all-star maybe for a reason, uh,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: The interesting part for where they go in the comparison, Drew,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: is Murph talked about it. They maybe tasted a little
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: bit of their own blood and the thought that they
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: were going to not have Terang. I mean, it's three
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: weeks removed now or four weeks ago. But when he
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: gets the second opinion, we're on here in the morning saying,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think we all know what that means. There's a
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: real chance he's not playing for you again. They get
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: him back. coinciding with maybe the biggest couple of wins
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of the year that Murph talked about those games in
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: LA where they didn't have to rang. And there's the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: adage of, you have to learn how to win each year,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I think is true. And you see it different times.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: This one learned that they could win without them. Then
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: realize that they weren't going to have to going forward.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: That was like getting in a trade that you didn't
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: even have to make when you knew that you were
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: going to have him, one of your best guys for
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the rest of the run.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And there was plenty of injury concerns all summer for
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: this team. I mean, they were banged up. I mean,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: You know, Cooper had it for a while, and you
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: go up and down the roster, it's easy to forget now,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: but we were concentrating this summer. You're right, the Stars
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: didn't have the devastating injuries like we talk about Parsons
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and things like that. the team is built on depth
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and the completeness of its depth, to your point. I mean,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: it's not built on one star in that sense. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: that puts you in a good position if you do
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: have guys going down, even if they are your best players,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: to try and sustain that. And the Brewers have been
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: able to do that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It would be rough.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, it would be brutal.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Had they lost in that point of the season when
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Parsons went down, well, Kraft went down kind of earlier,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: but the point of the season when Parsons went down is,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to me, it would have been early August. I was
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: going to say that's mid August, early, mid August, right
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: when you need it, like down the last, the backstretch
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of the season.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And, and listen, last year they lose cheerio for what?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: A week and a half. He missed like those couple
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of two weeks where they ended up having the huge
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: winning streak. He missed six weeks at the top this year,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: but he missed six weeks at the top and he's
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: three steals away from going 2020 for three consecutive years.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's, it's.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Yelich talked about it last night and he's mentioned it
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: a couple of times. And as I think it, It
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: goes back to your point of the underdog. Can you
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: use this or not? The guys in the locker room,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: they appreciate it, but they have also now started continuing
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to point out, we are kind of good players. We
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: got some good players in here. And you start realizing
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: they might not have the Aaron Judge and the top
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: guy at each position, but if you're top 12 at
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: every position, you're going to be pretty dang good.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: And the.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The numbers on your baseball card say more than the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: numbers in your bank account because there ain't anybody in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: baseball who would rather have Kyle Tucker than Jake Bowers.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Hit that bell. That was a bar right there. Who
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the hell? I'm just saying, Jake Bowers is.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: It's a great point, though.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, yes. And he is.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: One of the examples.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Jake Bowers, when you see his name in the transactions,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: no one's running to the season ticket window. I don't
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: know that they did in LA when they got Kyle
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Tucker either, but I'm just saying the principle is, Brewers
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: never signed any of those guys. Well, they don't need
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to if they can get guys who outperform them for one,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: one hundredth of the price.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Ours are, we, we signed pre CBA, uh, rookies like
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: in the NFL, our biggest contracts are the 21 year old.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: He was as important to this team as anybody. I mean,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: every guy has a story. And in that sense, well,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the Brewers needed some offense early in the year. Jake
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: powers was carrying this.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: He's on the rush. More of the most important guys
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: in the season. Absolutely.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing about this team. There's a bunch
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: of guys. Even you get performances from guys, even if
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: it didn't sustain as great players, Kyle Harrison, the first
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: three months was performing as a Cy Young candidate. Now,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: obviously he's had a struggle since then, but you got
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: that production walking into the, and every year it's been,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: you know, walking into the season. Did anyone think the
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Brewers would do this with zero contribution from Quinn Priester
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: or Last.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Year, it was Quinn Priester. And Woodruff.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: And Woodruff. And the year before was Tobias.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: The $ 22 million guy at the top of the rotation
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: hasn't pledged. Most they've ever spent on a pitcher. Priester
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: was last year's Logan Henderson.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Right. They replenished the candy machine with these guys. And
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: the thing is, they performed at that top level, even
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: if they didn't sustain it. Or you'd say, well, he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: a great player in this league.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And nowadays, Joey Ortiz is one of those guys, a
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: top-level guy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: That's another great example.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: But he was buried this year.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing, Armand, like, The guys who are
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the best in the league at their position, they do
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it all year.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: They don't just do it for two months. Like they
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: do it all year.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And I guess I'm working my way into, well, the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Packers might not be as bad as I thought. Cause
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they didn't have like Josh Jacobs, one of the top
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: guys at his position, Micah Parsons, definitely like in the discussion,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you can part, you can parse that if you want.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He's top three, but he's in the discussion.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, okay. Those field tilters are what matters.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Now, since it's hot take hump day, another hot take,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and we talked about it a little bit off the air,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and since I've now dubbed this the Yelich era, because
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the Brewers.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Golden age is... coincided with his arrival in the winter
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of 2018.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Our buddy Ben said he also arrived in 2018, so
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: he wanted some credit too.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: My hot take is, though there are other players in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: franchise history with better numbers, I just don't see any
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: way the Brewers don't retire 22 when Christian Yelich decides
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to wave goodbye.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: A debate I love, a conversation I love.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: This is a beautiful, beautiful evergreen one. Yeah, it's like
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Braun had better numbers. Braun had a cloud. And Braun
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was beloved, the California guy, by the owner. So was Yellich.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So was Yellich.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yellich signed the deal and committed to Milwaukee. So did Braun.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: They both did. Similar past. Braun has played more games,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: so put up better numbers.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But for what he meant to the team and what
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: he meant to this era of the team, to me,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: it's like 22 should be up in there.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I know they have a Hall of Fame.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Standard there, and it's like, how can you say that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: when they didn't retire Cecil Cooper, who was here 11
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: years and put up unbelievable numbers, or Jim Gantner, who
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: was part of the trio and meant so much to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: those early teams. But Yelich has defined the best era
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: in the franchise's history, especially if they win a World Series.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yelich does anything at all along the way. If they
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: win one, he's guaranteed to go up there. That's, that's
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the thing. But to me, it's like, man, he deserves
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it now, whether aside from that. Well, and I'm with you.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And for a couple of reasons, first off, I'm not,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: people aren't going to like this one, but, but it's
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: fact of the matter. And, It's the Atanasios baseball team.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: They want to put Christian Yelich's name up there and
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: put the 22 up. They got every damn right to.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Whatever standard had been set or somebody else did when
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: they owned the team, that is what it is. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: other part for him presiding and being the anchor, one
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of the pillars of their most successful run in ball
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: is they get to a World Series, I think for
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: sure it goes up. I don't even necessarily, if they
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: win it, guaranteed. They get there, I think for sure,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and it won't necessarily be argued that much. The tough
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: thing about the other guys that you mentioned, you point
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Cecil out there. I hear a lot of people mention
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Jim Gantner a number of different times. The other part
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: is the commitment to signing on the dotted line as
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: to when he did. It was right after, if you remember,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: it's right after Mike Trout signs a $ 435 million contract.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Yelich had just won the MVP and inks for 220
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: at the time.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave up a lot of money.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: So, again, would he have gotten that same money after
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the injury? Probably not. I don't know.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: But that all happens after the fact. The commitment to
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: stay when he did, I think, is the other reason
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: why he's a really, really tough guy to pass on
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and why you just probably wouldn't in that regard.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I think if you do lift that whatever self-imposed Hall
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: of Fame restriction, you would definitely.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Put him up there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And not for nothing, whether it's a factor or not,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the Brewers unofficially retired 17 in 1992 when Ganner was
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: never been issued. Nobody's been worn number eight since Braun
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: left in 2020. Of course, nobody wants 17.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: No one's out there looking for 17 as a number.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: 17's a decent-looking number. One might come up wearing it,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and Gander played 17 seasons. You don't think that's a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: good look?
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I think it looked right on Jimmy, but I don't
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: think it's a number.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: The point is, yes, that's the ultimate honor, and they
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: didn't take that step, but. In effect, they did with Ganner.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Ganner still shows up and dresses up once in a while.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Unofficially retired. And so same with Braun. I don't think
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Shogar and Tony Migliaccio would ever hand somebody.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: They're not suggesting somebody that number. They're not handing that
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: jersey out in spring training. You'll get like 79 or
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: something or 73. Yeah, they're not giving that out to people.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: If someone came, what if they traded for a star
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: who wore that number already and was going to roll in?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Might be then. Maybe Jayden Daniels didn't have to call
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: him and ask him. Yeah, probably.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Or what the Packers did for Micah. In theory, they
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: wanted to unofficially retire No. 1, but they're like, nah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: you can have it, Micah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: If you really want it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just because it's going to be shorthand, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: in 10 years, it's like, I heard the Yelich era.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: His time here is going to be looked back on.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I guess, again, maybe this is wrong. Maybe this is
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: too naive a statement. It's their team.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: You can put whoever you want up there, and as
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: difficult as whatever the standard is and the self-imposed standard,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that wasn't ours. I understand there's a stewardness of the governorship,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: as they like to say in the NBA, but I
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: think it's different when that ownership changes hands, just like
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: it was luckily for the Bucs when, frankly, Marcus Johnson
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: deserved the honor for a long time, but it wasn't
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: going to happen.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It wasn't going to.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Happen with the previous ownership, so there was time that
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: it passed, changed, boom, put him up there and celebrated.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I think he's meant too much to the Antonaccio family
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: as well. When Mike takes over, that's going to be
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: a part of it. I did appreciate, though, Mark stayed
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: up in that booth for a long time last night.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: He realizes when he's got the headset on, they score runs,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and he was not moving out of that chair.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: It's good juju. You don't want to jinx the team.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: So everyone's superstitious.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And I haven't missed one of these. I wouldn't either.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Out of the things that I might miss, out of
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: the 162 as an owner of a team, the game
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that we clinch and I get to enjoy and soak
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: up the champagne shower, I'm going to gas up the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: jet and we're going to get there to PNC.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Hot take.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons you love baseball is even when
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: your team's not in it, you can have great moments
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: at the yard. I don't know if it's a great–
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it was a great moment. At Citi Field last night.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was a cool moment.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: That was a very cool moment.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo returns, gets the hero's welcome, and then hits
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a tying homer in the ninth inning. His 300th of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: his big league career into the stands to tie the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: game that the Orioles went on to win in extra innings.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: And he.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Gets a curtain call by the home fans to be
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: able to celebrate.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody in the ballpark is like, now granted, there's some
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Orioles fans who make the trip to New York, sure,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: but there were.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the place was full of Pete Alonzo fans.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, who cares if the Mets win
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: this game, they're not doing anything. And they're already eliminated.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And so then the guys who catch it and they
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: go meet him, they load them up with swag.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And there's like, they're everybody's thrilled.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Pete alonzo grew up there he's a mr matt basically
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and then they let him go and he comes back
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and hits not only a home run a game time
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: home run and a milestone home run are you kidding
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: me yeah he.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Was supposed to hit the 300th in that stadium in.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Queens only in new york right the way he chucked
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: that bad he loved it i mean every moment of it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And like just even the words pete alonzo should Send
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a shiver down the spine of Brewers fans.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, I definitely don't have a
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: whole lot of love loss for the cat, but he
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: is one of those guys that's difficult to hate because
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I love watching him swing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I love watching him hit.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: He's had 264 of his 300 bombs with the Mets,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: and he might be the one that they despise David
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Stearns for the most. Out of all the moves that
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: have happened under his watch, it feels like Alonzo walking
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: out for the contract to the Orioles. was the one
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: that Mets fans were aggrieved by the most. The one
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: that frustrated and pissed them off the most.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Of all the money they spent, that's the guy that
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: wanted them to spend the money on the game.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And they didn't.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: And instead, Pete was like, wait, last year at the end,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I very distinctly remember him in that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Postgame being like, well, it's been fun, guys. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I'm hitting free agency. I'm getting out of here. I'm
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: not watching somebody. I'm not watching this team collapse like
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: we just did down here in Miami and be eliminated
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: from the playoffs anymore.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Times.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go finish fourth in the AL East
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: with the Orioles.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I saw one Mets account or blog say something like
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: they were the one people disrespectful as a Mets fan
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to cheer against your team and to cheer for somebody else,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: but no one agreed with them. It was pretty interesting
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: how that worked. Sometimes if you're a legendary figure enough,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: that will pervade. That will sustain, even if you're on
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: a different team in a different uniform. A lot of signs.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: We miss you, Pete, and all that stuff last night.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: So That was quite interesting. And you saw, he gave
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: a little smirk when.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: He heard the, um, when, when the curtain called turned
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: into a fire stern, a little smirk, he gave a
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: little smirk, but man, talk about the penthouse to the outhouse.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Like sterns was the guy that they've been talking about.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Like we talk about Matt Arnold, you know, for so long.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: And now everyone's like, this guy stinks and everything like that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: It's funny how fortunes change when results change.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Results do change.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Expectation changes.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I know we got to take a break and we're
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: going to get to halftime here coming up, but, uh,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it's a hot take comp day.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: It's more of a game ball and kick to the balls.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: What a kick to poor Cooper Brad. How do you
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: think he enjoyed that hotel room last night? He was
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: out with an illness. He used to stay away and
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: just have to sit there and watch everybody having.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: The good old time. It was probably on social.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Watching Hunter's feed, Hunter be on air, just sitting there
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: scrolling through like, dang, that looks fun.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Hunter's going to join us in 40 minutes. Scott Dolphin
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: joins us next. We've reached halftime of the week, halftime
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of the program. It is the Wednesday edition, the Hot
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Take Hump Day edition of the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Welcome. Thanks, Drew. The city of champions.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: We're enjoying our day.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize that they're the first team to win
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: four straight division titles. Now, the division's only been around, what,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: about 30 years? Back in the days when the Astros.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Were still a part of it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I went and fact-checked it, Dolph, because I didn't believe it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I thought Murph was pulling something over us. Listen, he
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: said it's St. Peter's tough up there, apparently, on Uke.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's the third catcher? That's a tough lineup
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: to crack, but I thought he was just making anything
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: up into there. I had to just fact check him
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: on the four times, and no team ever doing it again.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: I thought it very humorous. Was it yesterday or the
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: day before when Barstool Big Cat was just going off
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: on Murph how much he hates him?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Like, give me a break, dude. He's saying your average shows,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: you win every year. You win more games than anybody else. Yeah,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: we thank you for it. I understand.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's actually a sign of when he does
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: something like that, you know, he's just coping because he, like,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: is jealous. So it makes it a more sign of
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: respect than anything else. It's so obvious what it is, right?
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: I guess so, yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Well, Dolph's visit is my reminder that we have Luke
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Bryan tickets to give away. Alpine Valley, September 26th. The
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Word on the Street Tour. Drew Baldrige, Lauren Watkins, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Raelynn opening. Armin, pick a caller number.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973. Who you got, Armin?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Well, you just said it, so it's going to be
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: caller number four for four straight division titles. Four. Classy.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Caller number four.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And speaking of concerts, Dolph.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You had to hold out on us yesterday because when
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you left us, you went and made a big old
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: announcement about a concert at American Family Field.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big one.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: You know, it's kind of a, I don't want to
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: call it, it's sad, but it's always, you get that
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: hollow feeling when Kenny, if you're a country fan or
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: if you're a Kenny Chesney fan, when he doesn't play
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: our ballpark in the summertime.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: It's just about every other year.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: And this one, my God, it's a throwback to 2013
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: when a young Eric Church opened for him. Eric Church
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: is now a major headliner who headlined the stadium. You
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: were there, Billy, not that long ago. He's the opening
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: act on this, if you want to call it that,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: or you can call it duo headliners. Yeah, it's Eric Church,
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Kenny Chesney.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, and Sheryl Crow.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Sheryl Crow?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I was going to say Sheryl Crow was the one
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that my wife got very excited for.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good bill. It really is.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: And it's just a good vibe, man. I mean, you
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: don't even have to be a country.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: No Shoes Nation? Is that it? Shoes Nation.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you can pick up his cocktails if you want.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: But I think he's slowly going to try to take
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: over that Jimmy Buffett type of vibe of just out
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: there having a good time on a summer night.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Went to the Farm Aid gig when they were. That was,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: was that his first time playing.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: At, uh, Kenny? Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: That's the first time he played our baseball stadium 2010,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: I believe before that he had sold out Summerfest. And
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: then you remember, I remember the first year he did,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: I think he played Summerfest six years in a row.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: At the amphitheater.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: And then he wasn't there. And I'm thinking, yeah, we
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: just lost Kenny to the arena and amphitheater.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Now he's playing stadiums.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Well, in Dolph, because there needed to be somebody to
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: take over the Jimmy Buffett crowd, because.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: That is one of that being yearly.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: An annual occurrence was the best time for people to
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: bring in, you know, shout out to Mark Antanasio, bring
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: in some sand, drop that thing down into a pool
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: and have just the craziest adult party you could have.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: parking lot going to be a party for this kenny
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: show i mean like that gonna be they're gonna start
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the music probably at four or five but nobody's gonna
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: walk in until nine or ten with the kind of
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: party they're gonna.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Be i mean you could go and just tailgate if
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: you wanted to i mean i've known a lot of
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: people that have done that there's bars in the area
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: that uh you know rent out the sausage house with
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: all you can eat all you can drink and and
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: people can just do that and go home or you
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: can stay for one.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Of the best music i was gonna say but there's
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of people that want to There's
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: going to be a lot of people that think that
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: they're going to stay and watch music.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of people that I
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: think are going to be retired that night before they
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: make it in.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: That's a problem if you're spending that kind of money
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: on a ticket.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Graylin James, Old Dominion, Sheryl Crow, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: You could split that bill in half and it would
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: still be strong. Graylin James, a lot of people don't
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: know that name, but he's a hell of a songwriter.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He's written hits for Jelly Roll and Jordan Davis and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: all kinds of people.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: That's just wild.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: All right, so, Dolph, we're talking about, you know, the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: main theory of our show is 90% of being a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: fan is getting kicked in the cup. Well, this is
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: a 10% day. You get to just enjoy surfing through
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the videos. I see Hunter walking through the clubhouses. They're
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: spraying champagne.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: It's just cool.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: And was he dressed in something that he didn't mind
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: getting soaked?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I think he knew. Yeah, I think he knew.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I know Sophia was wearing a raincoat, but she got
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: just doused.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: It did not matter. It did not matter. She got
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: absolutely soaked.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: I think protecting your eyes is probably the most important thing, right,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: with the goggles?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is that from the burn of the champagne or
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the popping of the corks? I was never sure.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I think some of it is
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: just to look cool.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Because I get it, it does burn when it gets
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: into your eyes, but that is part of the fun.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: The real deal with the goggles is they've got to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: get some kind of sponsor on there. That's got to
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: be a big-time sponsor deal. And then let's just act
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: like absolute 10-year-olds for as long as possible. And you
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: could tell last night, they're like, wait, We're already out
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: of our Kirkland brand champagne.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Can somebody go get us some more? Are they actually
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: closed at 1030 at night?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: I did notice a lot of nice product placement for
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: ice cold Miller Lite.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: The jumbo size cans making their way through the clubhouse.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the 24s.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Billy said that already. You got to go with the
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: bedwetters if you're going to have a night like that.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: You might as.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Well fill it up. Well, it's obviously a nod to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the Milwaukee roots and to Uke.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: And I have the Miller and I had wondered if
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: it was a little bit of a, uh, Jordan covering
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: up the Reebok logo, uh, and wanting everybody, you know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: cause a lot of time for a long time, this
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: was always a Budweiser pumped in by major league baseball
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: and the Brewers are like, excuse me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They have some control over that, in my opinion.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Because legendary moments start with a light. That was a
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: legendary moment that was started with a lot of lights
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: You know, and props to Anheuser-Busch for getting that done,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: but this is one town out of the 30 in
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Major League Baseball that you've got to be a Miller.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Well, that's why I fired so many people up when
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: they stopped serving it at Fiserv.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: That was a big controversy.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Remember when they put that huge, massive Bud billboard right there?
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: outside Miller Park. It was right on the freeway.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Bud's really making inroads in Milwaukee.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Is it true they brought their own beer, Drew, to
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: the 82 World Series so they wouldn't have to drink
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Bud in St.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Louis?
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: That was always the rumor, all those funny.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I did see the shot of
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the champagne being delivered to the Brewers Clubhouse last night.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: That getting walked in was beautiful.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: They were holding it in a storage unit because they
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: didn't want, I guess, superstition. They didn't want anybody to
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: walk by and see it or something.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: That's fair. Or keep it cold.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Hunter had that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: That was awesome.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, how many times have you seen stories where
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: everything's on ice, ready to go, and then a team
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: melts down?
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, get it away. Get it out of here. Get
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: the plastic off the lockers. Oh, Major League II, that happened, too.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: That was awesome.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Major League II.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been a few of those where they
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: had everything ready for the celebration, and then, oh, not
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: so fast.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: So does every party have a guy that somebody yells,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: put a leash on him, put him back in his cage?
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: as they did to William Contreras when he grabbed the
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: fire hose.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Last night and started dousing everybody. That's amazing.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: He's a fireman or fireman bill. He's spraying everybody with
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the hose after they took the team picture on the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: mound with the flag.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: McGill should have brought the L flag just to make
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the Cubs fans even more pissed.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Well, cause they right at the end, it was just
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: as they're about to sign off on Brewers TV. And
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody got the video, but Abner
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Uribe gets interviewed by Sophia Minnert.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: She signs off.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: He runs back and goes, wait, wait, wait, we got
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: a message that we want to say to the Cubs.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden they cut the feed.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, i must i missed that it was right at
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the it was the last thing they did in the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: in the clubhouse amazing and levering goes okay let's take
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: that's amazing we're gonna grab that probably good we didn't
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: have that one on.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: Tv i did enjoy i assume it was it was
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: levering and uh and dillard they had the feed before
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: the locker room did so they're doing the play-by-play of
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: the cubs losing oh these guys aren't gonna see it
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: for another minute and a half or whatever and then
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: finally we see the locker room celebration.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I also did like that the like any good party after, uh,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: after they figured out what the game was, they just
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: turned down the office. There's one TV while they're in
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: there celebrating. There's an episode of the office just playing
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: on the one TV that's still on, not covered up.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Like everybody left the party. The people there trying to
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: go to bed. It's just chill out, hang out time.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it feels like when you wake up and
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden that load music on Netflix is just.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Sitting there still watching.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess three guys watching jackass clips on YouTube,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: you know, Same old thing.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: So today, I'm sure they had a nice celebration, but
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: then the boys had to go to bed because, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: normally this is a day you put everybody in the
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: bench in the game, but you're two up on the
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Dodgers with a lot to play for yet.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: The bye is going to happen. Do you think the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Dodgers don't really care, do they? Do they finish one, two, like?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: probably not it'd be nice but they're not gonna care
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: one two they're not gonna kill themselves to try to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: beat the pass the brewers and get home field like
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: no i do think they would want to not be
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: in that three game right like i think they're they're
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the one they'll quest for would be the second and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: they yeah they're happy being second like they don't really
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: does it matter one two no as i recall they
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: won a game seven in milwaukee.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah they did well and i think that that's one
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: of the the sneaky parts of the baseball playoffs is,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: is the second place spot actually the best one to
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: have where you don't have to ever get back on
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the plane and you get three at home right after
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: you play two on the road with a two, three,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: two format.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: As far as being the, if there, if the Brewers
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: are the two seed, you're going to get a tough
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: opponent regardless in the next round. It's what Phillies against
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Cubs Braves against whoever is that other wild card. The
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Dodgers now lead the Braves by what, three, three and
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: a half, something like that?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: It was three and a half yesterday.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: And both teams won. So it's a three and a
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: half game lead with 11 to play.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Well, and to your point, I think we made it
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Billy yesterday. I think the interesting thing is, you know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: we've talked so much about who the third starter is,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: but maybe the way the playoff schedule works out, would
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: you need a fourth guy or at least a guy
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: ready to go a few innings to start the game?
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Once you go both pen, Mike, which has had the question,
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: who's the three behind Ms. And Henderson, maybe Gosser, maybe
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: May is four. I think those are the questions to
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: be worked out now in the next coming days.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I also, and I hope I don't jinx anything, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: I peeked ahead, and you guys may have talked about this,
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: but if they win one series, the NLCS starts Sunday,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: October 11th, which is also Packers-Bears. Are you kidding me?
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: 325 kick, Packers-Bears, which means, hopefully, it's going to be
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: a 730 game.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, no, the.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I know exactly what window that is. That's the Packers
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: OT window. Son of a gun, Drew. Don't they know
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that they want to listen to us after the game?
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: It's everyone's favorite part of the game. Now, again, we've
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: got to get there. We've got to get to the
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: NLCS first.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: But that's a potential small good problem to have.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Well, the even better problem is going to be, you know,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Dolph is going to have to– wipe the champagne out
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: of his eyes for October 31st because the Brewers are
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: going to win the World Series on October 30th. Then
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: it's going to be Badgers and Iowa there on the 31st.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that date. So interesting.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: So we're not going to play November baseball this year. No,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Game 7 of the World Series on Halloween.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So they're wrapping that thing up, if necessary, on the 31st. Interesting.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: But Brewers in six has a nice little ring to it.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Either way, and I mentioned the Brewers are, it's a
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: foregone conclusion. Just like the division to me, they're going
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to finish top two. Because I just don't see the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Braves making up five games and ten. You're five games
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: back with ten to play. I don't see it. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know who they're playing, but with the Brewers.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Braves have the Phillies, I think, too. Yeah, they played
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: them last weekend. They closed with the Marlins. No, it's Cubs, Astros, Reds,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and Marlins. But Marlins are pesky.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: They just gave one to the Diamondbacks in extra innings
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: It looked like the Diamondbacks were going to pick up
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: another game. On that wild card chase. They would have
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: won last night.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: They would have only been three and a half, I believe,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: back of Chicago for that last wild card spot. So
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: it's closing in here in the last week and a half.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Also, side baseball. Did you see the Pete Alonzo? Home
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: run last night.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: We just talked about it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Followed by the curtain call and then the Fire Stearns chant.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: It's a beautiful ring right into it. It's like a
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: band at a concert when they're like, you know what?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: We're not going to do a little speaking interlude in
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: between these songs. Just rip right into it with the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: verse chord. Wow.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the magic number for clinching a bye is six.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Six for a bye, nine for the one save.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: To me, it's like that's a done deal. They're going
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: to beat them. We'll finish it up, yeah. They're going
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: to get a bye. I don't know, one or two.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: It'd be nice to finish one. So you have eight
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: games left on the road trip.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Go four and four, and you're going to clinch the bye.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Like we've said, you win the series, you don't have
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to play. And by bypassing that, that's a win. Now
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the question is, if you do wrap up the bye,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: or do you wait until best record, or do you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: have another champagne celly or just another toast?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: What are we doing? You've got to have a toast
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: if you win 100 games for sure. For sure.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I think you do.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe you don't go full Fireman Bill and start spraying
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: everybody with the hose.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Special gear.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: But you've got to enjoy something. I don't know if
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: they will. A special shirt? I don't think there's another shirt.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: That's interesting, though, because the franchise has never won 100 games.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Would there be a banner hung if you win 100
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: ballgames for the first time ever?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: You sure could. Just make sure we do it on
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: opening day next year. Let's not put that up before.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: They never hung a 106 for the 2002 Brewers. Thank God.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Is that the only year? I bet there's some Brewer
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: fan in the state that's got one. Only once in
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: their history have they lost 100 games. That was it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: They've never won 100.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. If they win 100 and
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: there's games left, I want them to tank the rest
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: to keep it at 100. And then you make the
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: shirt called Keep It 100 2026 Brewers.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: In the olden days, though, they had years where they
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: won 95 or 98 games and just finished like third.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I was going to say third in the division.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: 79 Brewers. Didn't they win like 95?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they won 95 and never.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: And they lost the division by eight games.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, those were the days. I didn't even look.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: How many division champions is this total for the Brewers
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: if you go back to the 80s?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: 12 total playoffs, but I'm trying to think of division titles.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Well, 82 they won it, right?
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 81 was a second-half title because they had the split.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, 82. Depends how you look at that one.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: They're sixth NL Central title, I believe. Okay. Yeah, so
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: six division titles, pretty much, or, well, seven total. Right, seven,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: because they won one while they were in there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, seven division titles. So it's not anything to poo-poo.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: We're celebrating it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Might as well.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, this is their era, obviously. Five of
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: the last six. No question.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: The Yellich era has been the golden age of Brewers
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: baseball since 2018.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Yelly and Woody, the only two holdovers since 2018. That's right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Dolph, thanks for popping in. Appreciate it, as always. Armin,
• 33:44

  Speaker 2: And Milwaukee resident now?
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: That's the rumor.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin resident? I didn't hear. I was doing something.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I walked out of the room, and he said that
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: during the broadcast with Levin and Dilley. He already is
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: a Milwaukee resident. In that he owns a home.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I was going to say he owns a spot. A
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: nice condo in downtown, a two-story penthouse. No shack. But
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: if he wants to move here, then maybe be closer
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: to the grandkids.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: But in any event, Hunter talked to Mark Adonazio. Take
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: it away, Hunter.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: You had said on the broadcast, you know, we're thinking
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: back to 2005 and getting to 500 here in this ballpark.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: We.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: We had to win one of the final two games.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: We lost them both.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: We had Champagne just like this in 2005 just to
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: get to 500. And now it's division title, first time ever,
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: if you heard Murph say, in the NL Central a
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: team has won four times in a row.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: That's since 1994. Pretty unbelievable.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: What is it about this team that you're able to
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: keep doing it with the way that you build a
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: club year after year? I think the credit goes to
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: everybody who works in the organization, the baseball ops people
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: who pick the players, the manager and coaches, all the
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: way down through the system. So guys like Luis Lara
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: and Cooper Pratt, when they come here, they're ready to
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: play Major League Baseball even though they're only 21 years old.
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: So I think it's a credit to all the staff, manager, coaches,
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: and of course Matt and his team.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Does this one feel any different to you than any
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: of the other ones?
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: You know, Murph touched on it where this year we
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: didn't sneak up on anybody. And last year, frankly, I'm
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: not sure we expected it. This year we did expect
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: it as we finally got our footing. And, you know,
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: we all expected to be here. And, you know, this
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: is just step one to what the team wants to accomplish.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: How high the standard is now set here to you
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: know fourth straight division title that's the standard you guys
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: have set now.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: You know it's uh something that you get a player
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: of spot now when you have like a champagne toast
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: and go back to work and tomorrow by the way
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: these guys will be ready to play i love that
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: we set that standard i love that we have all
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: those banners but now we need to make the next
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: step this year make the next step and you know
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: win the national league.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Brewers' principal owner, Mark Adonacio, in the scrum, in the
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: belly of the beast.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Hunter Baumgart bringing us that audio. He also talked to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Matt Arnold, the general manager and architect of the roster.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Let's listen to that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, it's a special group. We've been
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: talking about that for all year, frankly. I'm just hoping
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: Sal doesn't put his cigar out on my neck like
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: he did last year. I got a scar for life
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: from that one, but I'll wear it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Like a champ.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: No, it's a special group and a good group of people,
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: and that's Where it starts and ends for us, honestly,
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: it's just the guys in the room that do an
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: incredible job. The people that are watching our game tonight
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: at 3rd Street Market Hall that work in our front office.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: The people in the Dominican Republic that are watching it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: It just means so much to everyone in this organization.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: We're all proud to be a part of it.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: And the support of just how the team has come
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: together and the team supporting each other in every different
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: role that these guys have played throughout the season.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they pick each other up every night. You know,
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: you see it where if somebody doesn't do their job,
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: it's okay. It's just pass it towards the next guy.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: You know, Murph preaches that, and it's a real thing, honestly.
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: The guys believe in each other to do what they
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: can just to, you know, put the best foot forward
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: every single night, and it's just a really special group.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: As this team, we talked to Murph about this. I
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to say defied by you, but.
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: There's been a lot of young distributors.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's youth in there, but there's a lot of
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: guys with a lot of experience too. I've just been
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: through a lot. It's so important to have just the
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: balance that we have, guys that have done it a
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: long time, guys that are brand new here. It's just
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: a really good mix. Again, I'm excited for what they're
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: about to do.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: How about your manager winning a third straight division title
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: as the manager?
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: It's incredible. Yeah, he's the man, and he's a special
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: guy to be around. You guys see it every day.
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: He lives and breathes it. He's the first guy at
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: the ballpark. He's the last guy to leave. And nobody
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: cares more than Pat Murphy.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: On our Baumgart, our current electric superhero of the day,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: getting us that sound, asking the questions, dodging the champagne sprays.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: So good.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: And Matt Arnold, man, he said it with Sophie. He's like,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad to just be a small part of this. Brother,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: you're a little bit more than.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: A small part. A little bit.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: More than a small part. He is as good of
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: a deflector as there ever has been.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Very true. It's impressive.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he remains pretty humble when it's pretty obvious what
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: his role has been. You know, you see Stearns leave
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: and struggle where he struggled, and the importance of what
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Matt Arnold has done has been becoming more and more obvious,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: and he's stayed humble about that. So, Sal.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: So Sal put the cigar out in his neck.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Well, he didn't put it out. I think it was
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: just accidental burning or something. You just got to wake
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: up and let everybody know.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: That's like when somebody would fall asleep. Sure.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: And it was their turn.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: You know, it's puff, puff, burn if you're not going
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: to wake up and grab it.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Who's hot? Who's not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
