• 1:30
  Speaker 5: couldn't sleep after a victory. Couldn't wait till the day

  Speaker 6: deep rooted belief that we can and i believe that

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