  Speaker 1: that jersey, you played in that city. What are you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: feeling for the boys in blue?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Oh? They are so excited over there, getting a chance
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to not only celebrate for down thirteen, the recognition right.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So many people don't see or watch the Brewers throughout
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the course of the year.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I even had colleagues texting me, going, how come they
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: don't get enough love? They got the best record in baseball,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: all that, and they still have to go out there
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and show you that, Hey, not only are we a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: solid team, but we are a good team and have
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the chance to be a great team.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But you don't get a chance to do that until
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you keep winning. And they're in a position now to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: advance with an opportunity to keep going.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: The fans threw this man the Grishamarra a few years ago.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They face the buzzsaw braves. They can never break through.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: They do now, Are they now going to be free
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and clear taking on the Dodgers? Are those scary shadows
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in the past?
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Not at all. This is a This is a tale
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: of David and Goliath. Small market, the smallest market versus
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: one of the largest market, the average droves versus Hollywood stars.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can ask.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: In baseball versus the most dynamic and well paid team
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and baseball and they're facing off for a chance to
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: go to the World Series. So if you love the underdog,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: this is the ultimate underdog store A shame that no
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: one saw doing what they did.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I know one person who saw that the Brewers could
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: do this, and he said to you that, mister Milwaukee
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: yet And that's why I saved you for last. They
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: did it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: And you know why, because I faced so many teams
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: back when I was playing, and I have like these
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: senses that come to me about a team that would
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: probably make it difficult for me to get them out
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: in a consistent, you know way. And that's it. That's
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Brewers. And for the first time I can
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: tell you, and I'm gonna repeat this again, I don't
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: feel like they need a big bat. I don't feel
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: like they need anything else to be just literally any
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: team that includes the Dodgers. The Dodgers are vulnerable in
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: so many areas. Uh, the Milwaukee Brewers seem to have
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: the right ingredients inside that the average joes that they
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: having there, but they can also thrown around and be
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: above average joes. Like Murphy gets said.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: What's unbelievable is they did not win this game like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the Brewers typically do. This is the only game this
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: season where they won where their only runs were from
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: solo home runs. And they came and they were big,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and they started the first inning. Let's take it through
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: those solo shots for the Milwaukee Brewers, jy Row. They
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: set the tone in the bottom of the first inning.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: They definitely did. And we talked about urgency, and this
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: time it was the Cubs not scoring in the first
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: but Milwaukee with a solo being dong Giants. And for
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: a team that only hit one hundred and sixty six
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: on a gear that ranked twenty second in MLB, they
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: somehow this entire series at home at least said we
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: could play with the big boys, we can stretch it out,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and they did that and that proved crucial tonight.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The big thing I think is the literally home field
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: advantage you talk about, How is it really a thing? Well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: all the teams at home actually put up runs, they're pitching,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: did exactly what they needed to, and they won.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: The same thing happened tonight.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And you put up that big thing you talked about, Jimmy,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that zero, finally stopping the Cubs in the first inning,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: allowing yourself to score first, to get the crowd into
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: it even more.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: And would have been the theme of this series. The
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: team with the lead at the bottom of one wins
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and it helps you tonight.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy is a star. He's someone that I think
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: everybody would love to play for. So I cannot wait.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: We have not heard this yet. I don't know what
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it sounds like. Here's Pet Murphy speaking to the team
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in the locker room after the big w Let's take
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Together, get away over here, because you're gonna get there.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Guys, all year long, all year long, they called.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Us the average Joe's Okay, today you're the not so
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: freaking average Joe.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's bring it back memories for you guys.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, but that's that's great because I've been
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I've been there. I remember we will call the idiots
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: in Boston, but you guys were We were, but we
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: weren't the average idiots that you find. That that's a fact,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: you know what.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: That's the fact.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: We look like idiots and we let the leaguing hugs and.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Bad hair and shakes and all that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: But man, when we got to the field, we did
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: exactly what these guys do, which is beat up on everybody,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: play the game right, do what we need to do
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: to win, and then go on and just party like
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: it's nineteen eighty two when Bob Hucker was around.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: So that's that's that's what they're doing right now. They're
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: they're not your average Joe when it comes to facing
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: them inside the white lines.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: But Adam, it does get better and and.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Murphy deserves a lot of credit, especially if for what
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: you just said, Jimmy, you said that figuring out how
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: to get by the first inning was just the biggest
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: element in the game today, and you were Murphy. For
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Murphy to actually pull that off by bringing McGill, his
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: former closer to start a game for the first time ever,
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: it's just one of the smartest.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Moves and the element of sorb price. It's just amazing.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: That says a lot.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: About why the Milwaukee Brewers are now in position to
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: knock down the Dodgers and go to the World Series.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You said that while miss Rowski threw one o three,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: one oh four in Game two, you were hoping he
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: would get control. We saw on that first at bat,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: second pitch home run Cubs. Oh no, But boy did
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: he settle in and he is going to be a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: necessary weapon against the Dodgors.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, they need him to be, and especially when they
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: were considering taking him out of the roster for this.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: That's how rughica.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: He came over and gave you seven innings of just
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: one run in this postseason against a real good team
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: like the Chicago Cubs. And I was hoping to see
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: how he was going to settle down, because in the
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: first game, even though he had success, he threw a
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: lot of balls, and I wanted him to be like
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: more in command of what he needed to do and
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: preserve his energy so that Murphy had the option to
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: do what he did, which was used Patrick and used
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: the rest of the guys to get by and then
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: hand it to rebe like he did.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Seeing that highlight made me realize something. The universe is sick.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that brings things back. Miss Rowski unbelievable. In the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: first half July twenty eighth, he's facing the Cubs, who
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: hits the ball off his shin say A Suzuki. He
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: went on the il for two weeks, came back and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was a mess. He comes in and faces say A Suzuki,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: hits a home run, and then after that, no walks,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: four innings, no more runs, shut some down. It's like
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that part of his path is officially closed, and now
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he moves on one picture that we will see maybe
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in game one. Freddy Peralta just spoke with our Lauren Jabbara.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: It's great, like I said, because he's especially.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: On the group that we have this year.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Even even when we when we when we are having
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: bad moments, like we have said together, we have said
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: it's wrong, and I think that make us, make us
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: especially using how do.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You embrace the burn?
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: What do you do?
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: What am I supposed to do?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know. I don't know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even know.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: I know I know Mer said, today you guys were
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: above average Joes, but you've been above average all season.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: What makes this team so special?
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: I think that we just we just enjoy all the
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: moments in here. Like I said, even when we have
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: bad times, we stay together and that makes a difference.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: And you know, he's very especially when you have all
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: those guys that brought at each other. We pretend our
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: soul and we support each other. That's our important.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: What makes these celebrations so special?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: What's the best part? Everything is a special for me,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Everything is especial.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: All the celebration are the special.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Well, this one is.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: It makes me feel great, especially because I know that
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: the hard world that we haven't pulling together, and I
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: know that there's people that are not here with us,
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: like Bob Uker with us anymore here, but he is
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: seeing our heart and I know that he's watching or
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: enjoying it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: His spirit is definitely in this room. You could feel it. Freddy, Congratulations,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Go celebrate and joy it. Thank you so much.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Thank you
