  Speaker 5: of our favorites are in. John is in there. Alex Bykowski,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Johnny Cribbage, everybody chiming in right now on the YouTube stream.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Trying to get all of you guys in. Johnny Cribbage
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: giving me his favorite brewer memory. I was going to say,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: I wanted to get this brewer memory in from Johnny here.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Brewer memory lane, which you can share.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: With us at 877-794-1973.
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: Or on the YouTube comments because we definitely appreciate this one.
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: 1978 trip to the Milwaukee Zoo.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Stand up.
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: To visit Samson, then Brewer, Yankee, Coop, two to three
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: dingers with a walk-off from Mike Caldwell. The Mike Caldwell
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: and Reggie Jackson fight. That sounds like one hell of
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: a day, doesn't it?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Holy cow.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: First of all, 1978 Brewers were really the first team
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: in this franchise's history that broke through to become a winner.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Underrated Brewers team, 93 wins, Billy. Now, that was good
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: enough for third in the AL East that year. Unfortunately,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: that's just the way it was back then, but Those
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: late 70 teams were really good. They finally broke through
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: in 81 with the playoffs and the strike short near
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: than obviously 82.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't just 82, Billy.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: That four or five year stretch is really good for
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: the Brewers and a tough American League East. And 78
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: is where it all started. So I always say that's
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: an underrated group. Obviously, if wildcard rules and all that
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: were different, they'd be a playoff team. Do you know
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: about Samson, Billy? I think you might because you've been
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: to the zoo. We talk about statues in sports a lot.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: We talk about guys that earn statues, great statues. Samson's
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: got a statue, and he's earned one of the legendary gorilla.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Samson was one of the all-timers.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: I was going to say, I don't know that there
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: have been many like or ever will be another that
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: can live up to.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: That kind of billing that Samson had. Absolutely.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: He was sort of an attraction all to his own.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: People loved seeing him. He was a beast.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: He was huge. And he was a showman. And, you know, Billy,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: just like I appreciate, it's like we've never saw him
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: in person.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Right. You and I, I didn't see him either, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I've seen the footage, man. I did see some home
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: video of Samson. There's some video of Samson on YouTube
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: I checked out.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It was kind of cool. So that seems like a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: heck of a late 70s Milwaukee day. And a Caldwell-Reggie
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Jackson fight. Oh, my goodness. That must have been epic. See,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: now that's a sad one that there's not video of.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I need video of that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: Because that would be a... Or maybe some radio play-by-play. Now,
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: we talked to our friend Sean Greenberg of the Milwaukee Admirals.
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: I don't know when there were more prevalent fights throughout
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: baseball history. Did you get more into, like you do
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: for a hockey play-by-play, man, where you then become kind
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: of a boxing announcer?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Like Aaron Sims does. He's great at that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying. Aaron's phenomenal with all the action.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: When the gloves come off, I think he's actually at
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: his finest, though. And that's a talent that not all
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: will end up having.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: How about John? Kurosawa.
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: Brewer memory, 1982. My dad took me to the Brewers game.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: Only game that him and I ever went to. Cecil
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Cooper came to bat. Crowd loudly called out, Coop! You
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: could not understand why they were booing him.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I had to ask that to my dad when
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: he came back as a member of the Astros, when
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: he was the manager of the Astros. And I was
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: sort of young. I didn't really put two and two together.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: That was the Cecil Cooper. And we're cool. And the
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Brewers fans didn't forget. I'm like, they're booing him. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: guess he booed the other team's manager, but it seems
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: like a lot. Sort of when at a Marquette game,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: some of us were yelling ooze for Usman. You remember
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Usman Barrow? And someone asked me, why are they booing Usman?
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: I'm like, no, no, they're not booing him. They're yelling ooze.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. So that's a good one right there. Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Cooper's on that. Cooper's on that Zoom today. Boy, is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that fun.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: I was just going to say, speaking of Cecil Cooper,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: you're going to hear from him coming up momentarily. Let's
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: spin through some of this as the 1982 Brewers. Milwaukee
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: Brewers were a couple of them Larry Heisel is along
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: with Jerry Augustine you're gonna we're gonna go with the
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: first uh the first piece Armin of the yell uh
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: the yout Augie and Coop because we just talked about
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Cecil Cooper Jerry Augustine in the middle of this soundbite
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: will have the hair standing up on the back of
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: your neck for every Wisconsinite and a fire in your
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: gut like no other. And Robin Yount, the captain, the
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: unofficial captain of the Milwaukee Brewers, before there's now a captain,
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: Christian Yount, he will speak to what that honor meant
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: a little bit later. But first, Robin, then Jerry, then
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: Cecil Cooper, discussing the fans in Milwaukee and what makes
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: this run unique with all of you backing the crew.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Well, I feel like I'm a fan now, so I
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: know what they're feeling. It's almost like watching your kids play.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: You're a lot more nervous watching your own kids play
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: than when you played yourself, and I kind of feel
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: that way now, where you don't have a say in
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: the matter. You're just watching, and.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: From a fan's perspective, and I know everybody says this
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: about their hometown fans, but I, without questions, know that
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: the fans of Milwaukee and Wisconsin are the most passionate
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: fans anywhere. I mean, we've waited 44 years for this
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: since the last time we were there. You can see
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: the excitement throughout the whole state of Wisconsin. I mean,
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: it is second to none. Hey, we got a parade
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: when we lost the World Series. How often does that happen?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You know, we got.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: We got the best fans ever. And this means as
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: much to them, I guarantee you, this World Series is
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: as important to the fans of Wisconsin as it is
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: the players. And it's just a testament to what these
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: guys get to play in front of day in and
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: day out. I've always said this about people from Wisconsin.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: What you see is what you get. And we got
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: the best.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Being born and raised in Wisconsin, it's a little special
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: for me. 82 was extremely special. Seeing how the fans
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: came to the ballpark, it was unbelievable how they reacted
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: to us and the way they cared about it. Like
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Robin just said, he put it so well. We had
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: a parade and you lost the World Series. That was
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: something special. I think if they win the World Series,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to ask Robin to come and
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: ride his motorcycle around the world.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Not a chance.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: The one thing that's different about this ball club, I
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: think back at the end of August, someone started making
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: a statement that this team was out in first place,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: they're going to win the division, and they're going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: start preparing for the playoffs. And that did not happen.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It was Murph who understood what this team needed to
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: have to make that run when they get to the playoffs.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: He's been here a number of years. He was here
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: under Craig. He understands his team. He understands college baseball
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: with young players and.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: How to do it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And I think from that time on, from the beginning
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: of September, Murph started molding this team and molding this
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: team that when they got to the playoffs, they're going
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: to play with the same kind of tenacity and the
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: way they go about it each and every game. Now,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: when I go to the ballpark, I do pregame and
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: the fans walk by. It's almost like the fans are
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: being watching Murph and what he's been doing, trying to
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: get this team ready, and they won. in with an
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: air of confidence an air that they're going to go
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: out and enjoy it and I'm going to tell you
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: what guys if you're at the ballpark I've heard it
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: loud before but as loud as they've I've never heard
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: it as loud as they've been it's been so special
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and these fans are fantastic they're smiling they're happy and
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: they're really behind this team and I think when you
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: put it all together with this team, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, our
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: 82 team and everything, it's just a real exciting time
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: for something special to happen.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Well, Jerry, I think you hit it all on the
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: head right there, my friend. And, you know, these are
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: a bunch of guys that are grinders to me. I mean,
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: every at-bat, you watch them in every at-bat. These guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: are grinding. They're not out there just wailing away at
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: the first pitch, first pitch. They're grinding at bat after bat.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: And that's what you do. That's what winners do. That's
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: what guys that are ballers, that's what they do. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: so it is exciting for me to see it. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: I know the fans are all excited. And, hey, I've
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: been in at least one other big market where they
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: have a lot of rabid fans.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But Milwaukee is the best.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: Cecil Cooper with the final walk off right there here
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: on the huddle and Cecil Cooper with the build in
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: from Jerry Augustine. We're going to hear from Cecil Cooper
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: coming up next. But in that the part of Jerry
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: being from the state, being around the team and being
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: around this whole run as he's doing his coverage, his
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: pre and post game stuff. and being a fixture in
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: the community. Awesome to be able to see and hear
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: him articulate how cool the energy around being a Milwaukee
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: Brewer and being around the Brewers at this moment does.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, there's a.
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: Certain tone in his voice, Armin, where you can hear
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: how passionate he always has been about the team. When
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: you play for him, obviously that passion goes to a
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: different level. when you have the levels of success Augie
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: and the rest of the team had, it's hard not
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: to forever be tied to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: The organization and enjoy it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: But when it is a little different, as he said
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: right there, being from the state and knowing what it
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: does do for people around the state and having seen
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: it at.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Its highs and some lows and some.
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: Just passerby years where they might have gone 75 wins
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: or whatever, 82 wins. Or as you mentioned, you know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: in 78, when they first win 93 games and all
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: of a sudden there's people saying, whoa, that baseball team
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: that they got here over the last couple of years
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: has gotten.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: A little bit better.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: All of that development to be to this point, I
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: thought it was really, really unique to hear him speak about.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It really was.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: And obviously it was interesting to hear him speak about
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: what he think Murph's importance and impact on the younger players,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: the college players or those guys at that style, because
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: he's been in college and Augie himself, uh, coached in
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: college for a long time, so he knows about that
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: angle a bit more and something that was probably on
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: his mind this whole time. So that's pretty interesting and
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: revealing to hear as well.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And you're right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, you go into a market, you become part
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: of that market, you play there. But if you're from
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: the state, and Augie was, and Gantt was the other guy,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: obviously from Wisconsin.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: He sort of had that DNA to understand.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: A little bit more.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: And you can hear it in his voice. He definitely
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: understands it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: And understanding what the World Series is like, all of
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: these guys do. Cecil Cooper, probably more than others. As
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: the guys were asked about the emotion that these players
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: are going to feel going into the game, during the game,
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: during game one, how different is it from game three
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: to game four? Cecil Cooper has a lot of World
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Series experience and shared some of it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I was fortunate.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: I participated in three. Once way back in the 70s
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: when I was a young guy. And then the second time, obviously,
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: with the Brewers. And then I was fortunate enough to
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: take part in a third time with the Astros as
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: a coach. And emotions do play a big part in it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: And as a young guy, I didn't really control it
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: as much as I could have and should have. And
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: I think the second time around and then obviously the
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: third time is different. But the second time, I think
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: I did... control things a lot better. And I think
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: you have to really enjoy it, but at the same time,
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: try to keep it like it's a game, a regular game.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: Because if you let the emotions take over, then it
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: becomes more difficult and it's hard to concentrate, hard to focus.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: And there's a lot going on. I mean, and there's
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: so many media around, it can be overwhelming. So you
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: have to really kind of stay within your game, stay
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: within yourself and not let that become overwhelming to you.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: And they can't be an easy thing to do. It's
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: a very easy thing to say and discuss. But I
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: heard Eric Hosmer talking about it earlier on today on
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: MLB Network. Armin saying like he felt like he needed
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: to get into the atmosphere. Every round was different, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: every game was different.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: When they started with the Royals at home and then
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: when they went on to the road, it was so
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: different each time. He's like, first game of the World Series,
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: my first at bat. I was swinging at whatever was
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: coming my way because I needed to get one swing
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: off to be able to feel like I was in
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: the game. Similar to like a football player needs to
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: get their first hit to feel like you're into the game.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: He's like, I just needed to take my first A-plus hack.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: And whatever it was, I swang through the fastball, swang
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: right through it, missed it, missed it by a mile,
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: but settled into the moment again for so many young guys.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: They got three dudes under 22, 22 and under in
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: their lineup. it's a lot easier said than done. Maybe
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: that youth is part of what gives them a little bit.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Of a leg up. Well, that's the thing.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: And you saw, I think, that a little bit with
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Cooper when the playoffs started and Cooper Pratt and he
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: calmed down.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: But it will be different in the World Series. It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: hard not to feel that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: It's hard not to understand the moment because you're going
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: to know this is a different type of game. And
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I do think it's that skill of can you slow
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: down your heartbeat? Can you try and stay calm? Can
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: you try and stay focused on the process? and not
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: get overwhelmed thinking about the moment because it can have those,
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: those mental aspects can have physical effects in your body.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, you saw Ashby in game four, how calm
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: he was staying on the bench, very focused on just sitting,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: putting his sweatshirt on, drinking a sip of water. You
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: knew he was trying to regulate all that stuff because
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: if you start thinking about it, Billy, of course, I mean,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: how do you not overthrow?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: For instance, if you're Ms. Never, how do you not
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: get jacked up?
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: How do you not prevent yourself from not trying to
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: do too much, but also trying to say, I want
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: to try my best.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be incredibly difficult.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: And I think that's going to be, a big challenge,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: especially here in game one for the Brewers to try
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: and overcome is you almost want to detach yourself and say,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: this is just a regular baseball game. And that's not
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: easy to do when it's not a regular baseball game.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: When it's the furthest thing from it, it's kind of
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: like the biggest game of your entire lives. The greatest
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: feeling of his life was what Larry Heisel described watching
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Beat the LA Dodgers.
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: One of the coolest sound bites you will hear is,
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: ahead of game one of the World Series.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: I have the privilege of watching and my 80 years
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: on this planet, I have never been more impressed with
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: the team, the way they played against the Dodgers in
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: my entire life. I felt that it would probably go
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: seven games. Every game would be a battle. The Dodgers,
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: with their experience, with their superstars, with their great pitching,
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: that we would have to really scrape for runs, do
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: everything we could to get a lead and keep it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: But those young kids came together in a way I've
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: never witnessed. And they performed in a way that will
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: be remembered as long as the game is being played.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: About that is that not one of the greatest sound
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: bites and bars that you've heard it's amazing i think
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: a lot of us can relate to that i mean
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: we did think if we were gonna win this it
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: would be a tough series and the brewers were so
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: impressive young coming back every game constantly fighting and for
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: larry to say that was the most impressive exciting thing
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: a team he's ever watched so i've had the privilege
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: of being on this earth for 80 years wow that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: the best thing i've ever seen That's incredible stuff. Now,
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: we have been, if you have seen just a bit outside,
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: Armin alluded to it, you had the very difficult moment
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: where you ended up being able to see the emotions
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: that came out of Robin Yount when talking about still
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: not quite getting over 1982 and losing Game 7 of
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: the World Series. If you haven't seen it, you can
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: go and check it out at Marcus Theaters coming out
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: tomorrow or on MLB Network later on tonight.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, so awesome.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: It is on MLB Network later on tonight. But Robin
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: Yount speaking to I know it's not going to change
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: what has happened your entire life. It's not going to
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: change the last 44 years. But Robin, if you see
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: that commissioner's trophy being hoisted by Christian Yelich and the
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: Milwaukee Brewers during one of these next 10 days, let
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: ease a little bit of the pain that you felt
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: for the last 44 since game seven.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Robin, those of us.
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: Who have got to talk to you about the 82
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: World Series and how much that hurt. How often do
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: you think about that? How often have you thought about
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: that in the last 44 years? And how does it
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: feel to know that they have a chance to write
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: a different outcome this time?
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't concentrate on the hurt side. If you remember,
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: I've also said it was the greatest time of my career,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: but unfortunately the worst time. But the worst time was
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: all the result of a single game. The best part was.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: all the work and fun and everything we did to
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: put ourselves in that position was also the greatest time
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: of my career. And I think most of us would
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: agree to that. But when you get that close to
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: achieving goal you've set since you were a little kid,
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: if you ever got the opportunity, and that would be
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: to win a World Series, and you get within one
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: game of accomplishing.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: That, yeah, it stings.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: It hurts.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: And, you know, I'm not going to lie. I'll never
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: get over it until the Brewers win one. So I'm hoping,
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: you know, I hope this happens more often than every
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: 44 years, but I'm pretty excited this year because I
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: I'm not, if it takes another 44, I'm not sure
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: I'm going to be here for that one.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: The uncomfortable laugh, but the realization, then the joke that Armin,
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: I think everybody has had in every, every, uh, I
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: think folk, uh, every person around our age, right. Mid
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: forties or mid thirties has had that conversation with maybe
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: a dad, an uncle, a grandparent, if they're still lucky
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: enough to be with us.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And, uh, it's the uncomfortable laugh of don't say that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: But we do understand. Yeah, we get it. But we
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: It's one of the reasons why the frustration of the
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: supply has been so vast. Because the understanding, the feeling
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: of fleetingness of what this championship run is, you can
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: get swept up in it and feel like this might
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: take that long again.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: However, one thing I'd push back on is.
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: Every organization that gets here starts feeling like the window
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: for their dynastic run is just beginning. Everybody that gets
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: to the World Series for the first time with a
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: new squad and a new club that, you know, we
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: might just haul off and be here every couple of years.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Seems like we got everything going right now. We can
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: open up this window and make a dynasty out of it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: I'd steal the words right out of the head coach
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: of the Green Bay Packers opponent's mouth, Dan Campbell, after
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: the NFC title game a couple of years ago in
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: San Francisco.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Man, I'd love to say that we're going to be
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: right back here, man. But I just don't know. You
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: just never know. And where have they gone? One and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: done in the playoffs after. And then missing it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: And now playing against the Green Bay Packers to keep
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: themselves out of last place in the division.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't you?
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: What do you think Toronto thought after last year? Yeah,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: it was devastating. I'm sure Toronto thought they'd be right
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: back in the playoffs. fighting it out in.
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: The east and instead they were fighting to be 500
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: 500 they had their best players making 500 million dollars
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: saying they're not paying me to hit 40 bombs a
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: year oh no it's just it's already hit 40 bombs.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: It's amazing how you how you can't guarantee no matter
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: what you think you're set up to do you can't
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: guarantee the future you can't guarantee a result and you
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: never know when that time will be back when that
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: time will happen again if it will so.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: That's why the feeling of And I went and I
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: was hearing some more of Joe Davis talking through the
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: broadcast of this team has been so close waiting to
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: push through. There are a lot of teams that get
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: close to being able to push through and never do.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: This one being this close four games away shows how
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: how quickly those things can change. Those forces can change. Luckily, though,
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: you do have three guys that are under the age
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: of 22. You got a very, very young squad and
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: potentially some even better players still on the come.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: And more importantly, Billy, I think you have organizational sustainability
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: that creates this consistent winners. Dare I say, bite at
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: the apples. I don't mean to reignite a debate, but
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: that's what this is all about. It's giving yourself chances
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: when other teams can't sustain it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: That's the real quality of the organization.
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: I tweeted out during, I think, in the midst of
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: the immense joy that was happening on Thursday night when
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: they win it, It's like the greatest bite.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: At the apple of all time. That was a great tweet.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I saw it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: How's that for a summer of passionate entertainment? I hope
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: it went by and people took it the way I
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: meant it of.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. This was the one. It was the one.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: It finally actually paid off.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: You grow those apples on the tree to hope for
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: that one that becomes the right apple.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: And all of a sudden you bite into it and
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: there's not a caterpillar hanging out in there. Yeah. Trying
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: to go in there and eat his apple on Monday.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: And then he was going to go out and have
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: two pairs on Tuesday.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And the more apples you have on the tree, the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: more chances you have to get a good one. It's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: going to be the year that you plant that apple tree.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Because we could have said that after 24, Billy, what
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: you just said. After Pete Alonzo hit that home run,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: I don't know if we'll be back. Next year, you
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: win the division.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I'm losing the NLCS. I don't know if we'll be back.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: No, and instead after the Pete Alonzo home run, Pat
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: Murphy said, I don't know why. I don't know how. Somehow,
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: this is going to help us. I love that somehow.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: This is going to help us. Yeah, the manager that
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: 82 team that you just heard from They had a
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: manager that was pretty damn special himself and Harvey Keene.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: Those guys try to put it together and put it
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: into words what Harvey Keene meant to them, what Pat
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Murphy means to this crew, and the tie in between
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: the two. We'll bring you that one, as well as
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: we have a letter, a message from the Euchre family
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: put out by the Milwaukee Brewers. I think Brewers fans
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: would love to hear that. You'll hear from Hunter Baumgart

  Speaker 5: the tickets earlier is that true i thought i saw
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: somebody reading about that everyone's trying to figure out their
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: ticket angles you know this week.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: I have enjoyed um some of the so i i
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: love to frequent the ticket exchange website or uh facebook
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: group oh it's fun to see what what kind of
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: sob story first off the guys that run it though
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: have done a great job and there's like 16 000
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: people on there that's.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Gonna be the biggest toughest thing going Oh, and.
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: These dudes are always fighting the scammers.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Like, I do appreciate the work that they do.
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: Because the tough thing is, 98% of the situation is
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: always going to be above board. People trying to get
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: it to Wisconsin fans, trying to get it to Brewers fans,
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: either Packers fans. And there's always going to be a
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: bad apple, right? There's always going to be a bad actor.
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: But it doesn't paint poorly, I believe, everybody. But I've
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: enjoyed reading all of the different angles. And the one was,
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: anybody got hookups?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: It's the best.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: Just straight asking. I just, I love the, anybody, I'm really,
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: I'm really struggling here. Anybody got hookups for game one?
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: Like in the top of the comments was brother. Hookups
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: are for July. Everyone's got hookups.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Hookups are for July.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: Hookups are for last call was the third comment on there.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: And I thought that was maybe my favorite one, but it,
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: it speaks to the belief in still the thought, like,
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: This is just so far from any other game that
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: you've seen and that we have witnessed in this town
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: in quite some time. The demand is immense. The excitement
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: is through the roof. But I do love... Anybody got
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: any hookups? Anyone got a line on tickets?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: You know who I got to call to try to
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: get some tickets?
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: I also like when someone starts with... The ticket king.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: It's not sold out until the king's sold out.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You can pay money. I've been going back and forth. I.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: I think this guy I'm going back and forth with
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: on Twitter thinks I'm just trying to be annoying to him,
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: but I'm not. But he's making, you know, it's a
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: lot of, like, I feel bad for the Brewers fans
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: that can't afford to go. But the thing is, there's
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: a scarcity issue, too. These games will sell out no
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: matter what. Everybody wants to go to these games. Like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: it's not like there's anyone that doesn't want to go.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: So there's only so many tickets to go around for
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: possible four World Series home games.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And that's just the reality of it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: The nice thing is, as I see the highlights of
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: what was an incredibly special night at Madison Square Garden
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: last night, until, you know, the end happened.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And that man happened. My goodness. 12, 8, and 7.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Playing center. Kind of pedestrian. Playing some center.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: 6'8 center.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Also talking stuff to the Knicks fans.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: To everybody that would listen to it. I'm a Midwest.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I'm an Ohio boy. We don't want you. We don't
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: want you. That's a win for the fan, by the way.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: Oh, 1,000%.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: To get him going. You get the lion in the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: cage going like that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: But potentially, if you just forecast and wish cast a
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: little bit, maybe this ticket's not the one.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: But you know what might really, really hit?
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: That banner and ring day over there at American Family Field,
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: whenever opening day is, might be even greater. So there's
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: always a next one. There's always more time. There'll hopefully
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: be another one.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Hopefully.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Laura asked me, you know, is this once in a
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: lifetime for Lena? Well, I hope not. I'm like, do
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you hear what she just said? I hope it's not.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I hope she's got a lot more years to live
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: on this planet and the Brewers can win a series
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: by then. Jesus. She laughed when I said that. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: was like, yeah. Speaking of once in a lifetime, Hunter's
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: once in a lifetime kind of guy. We're going to
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: have him next. It's been a once in a lifetime
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: ride for Hunter Baumgart. He is living it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: He is there at every turn for this Milwaukee Brewers
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: championship run. He's in with us on the other side.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: He's with you starting at five. Preview of what he's
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: got coming up on Milwaukee baseball tonight. Coming up next,
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: it's Hunter Baumgart on the huddle.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: He's Armand. I'm Billy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: Stay with us on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. It's the
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: huddle on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. I'm Billy Schmid. Always prepared.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: Our friend Armin Sarian. But the man who brings, well,
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: literally all the preparation, but doesn't necessarily need it because
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: it's all up in that beautiful noggin of his, Hunter Baumgart, HB4.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Our Brewers reporter, insider. Frankly, just....
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: The sidecar for the brewers in the great run that
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: they have had to the world series Hunter. You've been
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: there for all of it. You've gotten to see and
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: hear a ton of it. I was though, and I
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: don't like to do this. I try not to text
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: people while they're doing a show.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I really try not to. You know what I'm really
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: not good at doing? Not texting. Not texting people while
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: they're on the show.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Because you might forget what you were going to say.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: And that's what's important is what you were going to say.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Bingo.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: So that's why that is exactly why Armin yesterday as
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: I'm driving home, listening to Milwaukee baseball tonight with Hunter
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: Baumgart and.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Text him immediately.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: That I'm poking back and forth between you go to
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: a commercial I have in a new vehicle, well, new
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: to you vehicle, the little three-month trial of SiriusXM.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: Turn that on, Hunter, and they are playing the Celebration postgame.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: on the field right after game four.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Just re-airing.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: I can't tell if it's the ESPN broadcast because Bootshombie's
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: not on it, so I didn't think it was that one.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I thought it was maybe their SiriusXM one, whatever it was.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: And he there gets Jacob Mizorowski and speaks to probably
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: not everybody's first guess on a post-game interview, but David Hamill.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: And as she's starting the conversation, he gets handed a
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: baseball by Sal Freelick. And Sal Freelick tells him, This
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: is the home run ball. I got it for you. Now, Hunter,
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: you've been around these guys all year long. Hamilton then
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: also drops in there that Freelick went in, talked to
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: the people in the stands, negotiated Garrett Mitchell's.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Home run ball. From earlier in the game. Wow.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you know Sal Freelick a lot,
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: but I've heard him talk a lot. I can't fathom
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: if my man is just pulling the greatest chain of
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: line to go to the World Series.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: My man is playing. What a story.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: He's on Pawn Stars going into center field.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I know they call him grad school.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: But that is a that is a graduate level business
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: transaction that he's trying to apparently make in the middle
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: of one of the biggest games of his career.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: In my head, I'm thinking like, oh, so like while
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: the while Aaron Ashby is just mowing down Dodgers hitters,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: I feel like as his back turned, this is how
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I picture it back turned to the plate. He's like,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: all right, so if I give you like a signed bat,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I know Ashby's got it behind me.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I know it was you.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: So if you like, I can just give you a
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: signed bat and a blah, blah, blah. Maybe Yelly. We
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: can get Yelly to get something. Would that work? I
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: know Ashby's onto his second hitter. I know the game's
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: going on behind me. Ashby's got it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Don't worry. I don't have any more. I can't give
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: any more. Just think of all the guys you got
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to keep track of, too.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Right so you're mitchell and you're hamilton okay all right
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: i think i have this under control.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Like there was a guy with a coors light hat
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: out there he i owe him something i know i
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: owe him something and he's just got a hologram sticker.
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna have to get to the bottom of it
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: please do because i heard it and i'm like this
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: is either the greatest wise tale fish story that anybody
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: in real time could have made up sure and sal
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: freelick deserves credit for that yeah funny or It's the
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: best teammate move that you possibly could have in the
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: midst of your biggest game of all time.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing it in disbelief.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: Like, I got to text Hunter. I got to text
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: Hunter and see if, one, you've heard any bit of this. Two,
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: you get to the bottom of it. And three, I mean,
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: you've been able to see how closely knit and tied
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: together these guys are. It does feel like something that
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: in the midst of that moment, one of them would
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: think of, just like when you see somebody score their
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: first touchdown and the celebration runs through. Maybe another wide
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: receiver goes and grabs that football because when you come down,
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: you might want that memento.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: If there's any team that's going to do it, it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: this 2026 Brewers team. I mean, Daniel Vogelbach called them
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the most unselfish team that he's ever been a part of.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: He's been a part of a lot of teams in
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: major league baseball and good teams. And I think that
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: is a perfect way to describe it. They've, you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: a couple of different players and personnel described as quiet confidence, right?
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: That goes into the hole. We're down for nothing in
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: a game, but Hey, it's going to be a great
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: story when we come back. So, and that was great.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Garrett Mitchell talked about that on, Jeff Passan's podcast about
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: how Christian Yelich literally told him in the dugout, hey,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: when the guys came off the field after Watani just
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: hit a home run, Dodger Stadium's going crazy, it's 4-0,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and Yelich says, yeah, it's going to be a great
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: story when we come back from a 4-0 deficit. When
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: your captain says that, that is why they're having the
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: season that they are, in addition to being really good
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: on the field, obviously. But yeah, that could be... Sal
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Frelick could be a guy who could pull a prank,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: but that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: That seems more realistic than not. So that is going
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: to be my mission at workout slash media day tomorrow.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow is like the NFL Super Bowl Monday night media day.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: at the world series. So I'm, I'm excited to see
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: how this all plays out. It's going to be obviously
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: a little chaotic and you never know what you're going
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: to get out of it, but it's going to be exciting.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Cause I think they're going to have everybody in, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: just like, like they do on the football field and
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: you can go and talk to everybody.
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: Now, is it as much of the circus similar with
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: like Guillermo walking up asking questions or like Armin loved
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: on Superbowl media night when we went through everybody with.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: The 4k stick camera? Oh my gosh. Are you going
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: to see any more bachelor guys? Joey was there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I remember they were shooting inside edition promos. I remember
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: that was a funny one. And, uh, and the, what
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: the pickle juice podcast or all these guys with their
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: shirts and their jerseys.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: That's where I went up trying to say hi to
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: Ian Rappaport and called him Adam Schefter.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: That was a rare L for you. You don't miss
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: on that. That was a massive L. One of the
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: better ones that I've been in.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Now they're coworkers.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: I think I got a picture with Ocho Cinco, didn't I?
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: But I would think this is a different one because
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: it's not the same, right, Hunter?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: And now, like, you are the elder statesman in this
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: group because you're in the Milwaukee embedded beat media. I mean,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: these other guys are just hangers on.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: You're the man now. All right. So they have to
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: come and take a picture with you.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Well, they definitely don't have to take a picture with me,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: but I do think there will be some of the
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: influencer crowd. I'm guessing that'll be there. I mean, that
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: stuff kind of picked up a little bit in the LCS.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing, you know, they'll they'll want some brand deals
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: with some of these bigger influencers to come to the
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: World Series and things like that. I am interested to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: see what what it looks like, how much of the
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: pomp and circumstance is comparable to the Super Bowl. They
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: obviously announced that Violent Femmes is going to do a
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: pregame concert inside American Family Field at 445 before game one.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Of course, they were founded in 1981 in Milwaukee. So
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: that's cool. Gates are going to open three hours before
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: first pitch of game one parking lots, four hours before
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: first pitch of game one. So that's just some of
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: the logistics of it, but this is going to be
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: constant that we're going to get more information about what
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: exactly all of this is going to entail. Cause there's
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: obviously going to be a lot of pomp and circumstance
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: before first pitch on Friday. Now you've been able to
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: hear Pat Murphy.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: I have often marveled at the ability of baseball managers
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: to to talk to.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: The media as much as they do. Yeah, it's a lot.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: A lot of talking. Twice a day. And he seems
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: to embrace it more than most. Every day.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: He does embrace it more than most.
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: Because you also have to. Otherwise, I don't know how
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: you would. You're just going to be miserable. You'd be
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: a part of a miserable existence, kind of like a
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: former guy. So when you're able to make it fun
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: and smile through it, it makes it better for everybody.
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: But now everybody is getting a little bit of what
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: you guys get with Pat Murphy because Hunter, he's on
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: everybody's podcast except one.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Except one.
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: Christopher Mad Dog Russo, not happy today.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: Not happy today on first take, as he said, my
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: producers got told that Pat Murphy's too busy.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Too busy for me. He's too busy for me. I'm
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. I'm a Hall of Famer. What's
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: the problem? What, you didn't drink the water? The water
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: was too hot? What happened? I was watching golf. What
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: do you want to talk about? You didn't get Murph?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: You didn't get the guy in Milwaukee? I don't know, yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: He was on DP. He was on with Cowherd. The
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: Miz was on with McAfee earlier on today. A lot
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: of the shine nationally on this crew. What do you
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: expect mostly that people are going to kind of glam
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: on to nationally with this crew that you've been following?
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, Pat Murphy is the guy who is entertaining
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: in almost every press conference. And I feel lucky to
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: cover him because it's really fun to go into every
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: press conference not knowing what you're going to get, whether
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: it's pregame, whether it's postgame.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: He's a blast.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Obviously, Miz is the attraction because of how fast he
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: can throw the baseball. So that's going to be a guy.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm I'm really excited to watch Christian Yelich
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: take this all in. I mean, this is something he's
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: worked for his entire career. He's finally getting to play
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: in a World Series in Milwaukee. And just, you know,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: that's a guy who's been here. Brandon Wood. is kind
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: of the same way where these guys have been here.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Aaron Ashby do a little bit of a lesser extent,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: but he's been here a lot while too. They know
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: what this means to the city. They know what this
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: means to the state. They know what this means to
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Brewers fans. So that's what I think that to me,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be, you know, and I think they're
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: going to get some of the attention that they deserve.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Obviously we'll see if Woodruff is on the roster or not.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: He sat 90 to 92, according to Adam McKelvey, MLB.com,
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: who talked to him yesterday. I will see. I mean,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: maybe we'll get some more information tomorrow when Pat Murphy talks.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Brandon Woodruff might be available tomorrow as well.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: So, boy, it's it's it's just you have to embrace it.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: You have to embrace the chaos. You have to embrace
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: how fun this is going to be. There's going to be,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously a lot of talking heads that are
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: going to say a lot of things about the Brewers
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: and Rays. And hopefully it's a lot of good things because.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about this this morning, and I'll kind
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: of leave you with this. Is this the best Brewers
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: team ever? It's hard not to say it isn't. It's
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: hard to say that it's not the best Brewers team ever.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: It's objectively... Correct.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Because of the right.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Correct. They've been the better. I mean, however, whatever your
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: standard is.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: If they win the series, then win the World Series.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Then it's a no brainer.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: You can have an individual opinion on like if teams
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: went head to head and things like that or who
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: had the most talent and things.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people like to make it about
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: how many Hall of Famers.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: I said to Doug, you can't do that because guys
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: have been on different teams that haven't won as much
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: with Hall of Famers. So if you just do it
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: that way. This World Series has no guaranteed Hall of
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Famers in it, right? That I'm thinking of. But a
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: lot of guys that might one day. And that's what
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: makes them both young. I think to your point, Hunter,
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: by any objective standard, you'd have to say this is
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: the one.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Whether or not they win the World Series. Because no.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I think so, too. I think so, too.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I would support that. I mean, I know.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Doesn't have to get to game seven. Well, maybe you
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: can make that argument, I suppose. I mean, this is
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: like I'm.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Just trying to think of the arguments that people would write.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: I think the argument would be I think the arguments
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: would be people saying, you know, that team was better,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: just didn't win the last game.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: But, you know, head to head.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: But based on maybe positionally, this is definitely a better
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: pitching staff than the 82 Brewers.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: There's no question. Especially without Raleigh. Now you're really going
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: to step on a hornet's nest. The bullpen, the starter,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: there's no question.
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: Okay, but if those guys were able to only throw
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: the volume they do now, would that be bad? Here
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: we go. That's where crossing over is a difficult one
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: to do. Even Robin Yeltsin said that today.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I thought it was very, very well said
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: by him.
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: Because I think baseball, there's a lot of times some
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: very 90s NBA rhetoric that comes in.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Game was always better here.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I do think.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: The respect for this team would go further because I
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: think they could win in pretty much every era.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Right. Right. Just like, I think that 82 team would
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: win in most eras.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Like, I don't think they would have in the three
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: true outcome era, not been able to compete.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: It would have been great in this era. That was
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: a home run heavy team, obviously. And they scored a
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: lot of runs.
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: So, so yeah, I, I, but I think the even
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: more fun question is beginning of the year, we started
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: debating the, This team's going to be better than last year.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Will they have a better record?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: And a lot of us said no.
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: And they didn't need a 30-4 run. They won 103 games.
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: Right now, they're 50 games over 500. If you include
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: regular season and postseason, they are 110 and 60 heading
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: into the World Series. And I believe, correct me if
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: I'm wrong, they have the best home record and best
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: road record.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: That would make sense. And winning percentage on either one.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: A lot of 96 Packer vibes. You know, number one defense, offense,
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: all those things. The thing is, too, now we just
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: need a return specialist. I mean that, you know, yes,
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: you do need that. That would be pretty good. And
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: if you want to start splitting hairs, the way they
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: dominate the Dodgers will be a separator. I think that
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: is eventually they do what we want them to do.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: And those type of things like Carl Ravitch was on
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: and nothing. I love Carl. I'm going to talk about
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: this at five on the show. He was on foul
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: territory yesterday and was guest hosting. And he said the Rays,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: he said, I think the Rays are going to win
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: this series. They're playing better than the Brewers and they're
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: a better team. You cannot tell me that the Tampa
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Bay Rays or any team is playing better than a
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: team that just swept the Dodgers and beat schoolboy young
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Lotto Snell and glass.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: That's hard to figure.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: The Rays are definitely playing well, but I don't know
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: what more the Brewers could have done. Except maybe they
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: did have to come back in those games. Maybe is
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: that why?
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: But the Rays lost two in the CS. The Brewers
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: didn't lose any to the better team. The Dodgers are
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: better than the Guardians. I'll tell you that much.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Ran through in one of those games at home. Yeah,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I don't know where that was.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Carl.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Well, you got to have a take. He had a
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: take and you got to have a take. Got to
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: have one.
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: Now you can have all of the takes and you
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: can enjoy all of the takes coming up by your
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: Milwaukee Brewers at five five with Hunter Baumgart.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Thanks, buddy.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you guys.
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: Hunter B will be back coming up in one hour
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: from right now. We will be back with another hour.
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: We will hear from Matt LaFleur addressing the injury report
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: that includes two very important Green Bay Packers. I got
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: a I got a little bit of a hint. Both
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: have a zero in the number. Both have zeros in
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: the number. Pretty important guys on the offense that were
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: added to the injury report today. We'll hear that also.
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: His expectations for maybe Josh Jacobs coming up this week
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: in the Motor City. That coming up on the other side.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: It's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
