10/07/26 - Hour 1 · The Huddle

0:01
Speaker 1: There is no joy in Mudville, there is no champagne
0:03
Speaker 1: in San Diego, but there is a huddle in Milwaukee
0:07
Speaker 1: and one in Madison and one on your device of
0:10
Speaker 1: choice right now. Welcome in five o'clock clubbers through Billy
0:13
Speaker 1: and Armin bringing it to you groggy, but otherwise cheerful
0:19
Speaker 1: and optimistic.
0:19
Speaker 2: That's well said.
0:20
Speaker 3: Listen, there might not be some champagne, but there's a
0:22
Speaker 3: huddle and you get to huddle up with us and
0:24
Speaker 3: it is bear week. The only bad thing that happened
0:27
Speaker 3: last night, Drew, is the fact that we didn't get
0:29
Speaker 3: to move on to Packers and Bears one full day earlier.
0:32
Speaker 3: We've got to deal with this Padres problem one more time.
0:36
Speaker 2: That's right.
0:36
Speaker 1: 877-794-1973 to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. Venn diagram
0:42
Speaker 1: of people listening to us now who made it to
0:44
Speaker 1: the end of last evening's game.
0:45
Speaker 2: I would assume probably more than they care to admit.
0:49
Speaker 3: I'm guessing it was probably a lot of folks that
0:53
Speaker 3: right after Cooper Pratt spikes the ball over to Jake Bowers, thinking,
0:57
Speaker 3: you know what, maybe I rolled my head over. And
0:58
Speaker 3: then the top of the seventh inning happened. And then
1:00
Speaker 3: you're like, whoa, okay, now they got something cooking here
1:03
Speaker 3: in the A. Now maybe I will stay up. I
1:06
Speaker 3: think there's probably the seventh inning probably gave too much
1:09
Speaker 3: life to many folks that had to work very, very
1:12
Speaker 3: early this morning.
1:12
Speaker 2: The thing about this team, which is good if you're
1:14
Speaker 2: a fan, not good if you were like trying to
1:16
Speaker 2: give up and go to sleep, was that they constantly
1:19
Speaker 2: are coming at teams and not giving up. So you
1:21
Speaker 2: always tell yourself, well, We're never out of this thing.
1:24
Speaker 2: We're going to keep giving ourselves a shot. We're going
1:27
Speaker 2: to keep getting threats going, which they did all last
1:30
Speaker 2: night and just couldn't finish. Frustrating, just because that's probably
1:33
Speaker 2: their best game in terms of hitting, contact, consistent offensive
1:38
Speaker 2: threats in the entire series, but just not enough to
1:41
Speaker 2: put them over the top. You kept feeling like there
1:43
Speaker 2: was a dam that was about to break, and you
1:45
Speaker 2: were right there. 11 hits, but just couldn't break through. Yeah,
1:50
Speaker 2: I think so, Billy, because If you were trying to
1:52
Speaker 2: give yourself an out to go to bed in that game,
1:55
Speaker 2: this team didn't let you do it because they kept
1:57
Speaker 2: giving you hope and belief that they could come back
2:00
Speaker 2: and you didn't want to miss something special.
2:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been special for sure. So the
2:07
Speaker 1: Brewers succumb in the third straight one-run game in the series.
2:11
Speaker 2: Is that right?
2:12
Speaker 3: You are correct, sir. Third straight game that the Padres
2:15
Speaker 3: get out to a lead to as well.
2:18
Speaker 2: There hasn't been three straight one-run games in the NLDS
2:21
Speaker 2: since 21, I believe, in MLB. I think I read that.
2:25
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing. All these games have been just absolute nail
2:31
Speaker 2: biters all the way through.
2:33
Speaker 3: Well, on the plus side of the loss, this wasn't
2:36
Speaker 3: like there's nothing really to pick at.
2:39
Speaker 1: They played a cleaner game than the game they won.
2:41
Speaker 1: That's for sure. They hit some rockets. Jackson Merrill made
2:44
Speaker 1: some plays. The first play of the game was a
2:47
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor flashback.
2:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it provided us one of the better Murph
2:52
Speaker 3: soundbites in his tenure as manager of the Milwaukee Brewers
2:56
Speaker 3: when Tom Verducci was trying to do an interview with him.
2:58
Speaker 2: Was that the start of the third inning? That was
2:59
Speaker 2: the Sal one, yeah. Merrill?
3:01
Speaker 4: Yeah.
3:02
Speaker 2: I mean, the G.D.
3:03
Speaker 3: Merrill straight into the microphone, and then about 12 to
3:06
Speaker 3: 15 seconds of just sheer laughter from the guys in
3:09
Speaker 3: the broadcast booth was pretty sweet.
3:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Drew, you're right.
3:13
Speaker 3: I mean, they played definitely a cleaner game defensively, even
3:17
Speaker 3: though technically it's an error that bites you in the
3:21
Speaker 3: end and lets the winning run end up crossing against you.
3:25
Speaker 3: They gave themselves plenty of opportunities. It was just the
3:29
Speaker 3: one other thing that's been consistent in this series. Road
3:31
Speaker 3: team leaves a lot of guys on base. I don't
3:33
Speaker 3: know that that's very different than most postseason games in
3:37
Speaker 3: most postseason series, but the Padres leave a small village
3:40
Speaker 3: of 20 on the base paths. across the first two
3:43
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, and the Brewers raised double digits yesterday. Hit
3:47
Speaker 3: 11 in five and two innings, and when you get
3:50
Speaker 3: somebody to third, especially with less than two outs, and
3:54
Speaker 3: you don't get them through, yikes.
3:56
Speaker 1: That's where the games are won and lost, is those things.
4:00
Speaker 1: So Walker Bueller starts tonight, and well, serendipitous.
4:05
Speaker 2: To have him back in.
4:06
Speaker 1: He was on the mound the last time the Brewers
4:08
Speaker 1: won a road playoff game, which is now their 0-12.
4:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was at what game?
4:13
Speaker 3: He pitched in game three then because that was the
4:16
Speaker 3: last time the Brewers won the road playoff game.
4:17
Speaker 1: Game three of the NLCS.
4:19
Speaker 3: I just think about him starting game seven of the NLCS.
4:21
Speaker 3: So I like the fact that it could be on
4:24
Speaker 3: the other side. The other part that is, I mean,
4:26
Speaker 3: somewhat difficult to chew on and stew with is that
4:30
Speaker 3: you ended up not being able to cash in when
4:33
Speaker 3: apparently they didn't have Morejon. I didn't know Morejon was
4:36
Speaker 3: not going to be available after his two innings. And
4:38
Speaker 3: then Miller, 45 minutes before gets the greatest call any
4:42
Speaker 3: man can get outside of probably when it's game three
4:46
Speaker 3: of the playoffs.
4:47
Speaker 2: Right. I mean, the emotional turmoil inside. That must have been.
4:50
Speaker 2: And listen, I love it. I mean, hey, you got
4:52
Speaker 2: to be there. You got to make sure you're with
4:53
Speaker 2: your family. It worked out well for us. I think
4:55
Speaker 2: there were any moments there yesterday when he's like, kid
4:57
Speaker 2: born yet? Kid born yet? Kid born yet? Kid born yet?
5:00
Speaker 2: He said he was hoping it would come when he
5:02
Speaker 2: was at home.
5:02
Speaker 1: I thought it was in the morning. Yeah, I thought.
5:04
Speaker 2: I don't know.
5:05
Speaker 1: It's murky.
5:06
Speaker 2: You're at home. So I didn't want to question him
5:08
Speaker 2: because it's an important thing. But the more home thing
5:10
Speaker 2: was also interesting because the paternity thing was like, I'm
5:14
Speaker 2: like rereading, like, is this real? Is this fake? Is
5:16
Speaker 2: this a joke about Jack Centurio? Like, you know, like the, the,
5:20
Speaker 2: the paternity thing. But then the more home, it was
5:22
Speaker 2: shoulder stickiness. And that's when I, of all the injury
5:25
Speaker 2: descriptions we've heard, I had not heard stickiness before. You've
5:28
Speaker 2: heard tightness. You've heard it pulled, it grabbed. Somebody likes
5:32
Speaker 2: the sticky too much and gets themselves injured. We've dealt
5:35
Speaker 2: with that. Yeah. But then you're like, okay, all of
5:37
Speaker 2: a sudden they're, you know, they're big two guns that
5:40
Speaker 2: late in the game are out. You know, this is
5:42
Speaker 2: a big break for you. And it would have been,
5:44
Speaker 2: I mean, if Michael King didn't come in and, and
5:47
Speaker 2: take care of business, they, they, you know, now Michael
5:49
Speaker 2: King was a guy that does have saves on his ledger,
5:51
Speaker 2: but it's been a starter, but. They had to use
5:54
Speaker 2: him in desperation. Maybe that will pay off for the
5:56
Speaker 2: Brewers here down the road in his last couple games.
5:59
Speaker 2: Hopefully only the last one, hopefully. But, yeah, that is
6:03
Speaker 2: a break for the Brewers. Now, whether or not one
6:05
Speaker 2: or both will be available, I don't know what the
6:06
Speaker 2: availability is tonight. I don't think Miller's available.
6:09
Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
6:11
Speaker 2: It said one to three games, so I really wasn't.
6:12
Speaker 1: I bet he'll be available.
6:14
Speaker 3: I was going to say, again, now as long as
6:16
Speaker 3: everybody's happy, everybody's okay.
6:18
Speaker 1: Luckily they won and Michael King pitched okay, right?
6:20
Speaker 2: Get yourself in there. Like Kirk Herbstreit said, what else
6:23
Speaker 2: are you doing? What are you doing?
6:26
Speaker 5: Nothing.
6:26
Speaker 2: Nothing. He only changed a couple of diapers.
6:28
Speaker 3: It's been one day in. He can't feed, so might
6:32
Speaker 3: as well get yourself back out there and throw a
6:34
Speaker 3: couple of fastballs. But, King, it worked until it almost didn't.
6:38
Speaker 3: I mean, you had plenty of traffic in that ninth inning.
6:40
Speaker 3: You get yourself a rally, you don't win the game.
6:43
Speaker 3: It is disappointing, yeah. The only thing that is lost
6:46
Speaker 3: last night is the chance for 2026 free George Webb burgers.
6:51
Speaker 3: Cause they would have had to win last night. They
6:52
Speaker 3: would have been eight in a row. And then you
6:55
Speaker 3: sweep the Dodgers or Braves in the NLCS. We would
6:58
Speaker 3: have gotten free burgers going into world series. Not that
7:00
Speaker 3: there were certain fat folks dreaming and already thinking in
7:03
Speaker 3: game planning that one. Oh, I'm glad you're certain individuals
7:06
Speaker 3: may have already been wondering when we were going to
7:08
Speaker 3: get our free burgers.
7:09
Speaker 2: So no longer, but that's fine.
7:11
Speaker 1: And how about, how can you not love baseball? Because the, Padres,
7:17
Speaker 1: for all the things that happened, Mason Miller, Tippin, Mason Miller,
7:21
Speaker 1: Mason Miller, walk, walk, walk. Their LVP in game two
7:27
Speaker 1: was Jay Cronenworth.
7:30
Speaker 2: We talked about it.
7:30
Speaker 1: He made the error that allowed the Brewers to have
7:32
Speaker 1: a tying run. Some are accusing him of getting a
7:34
Speaker 1: late break on Churrio's screamer up the middle. I don't
7:36
Speaker 1: think that was bad. But he did have four fruitless at-bats,
7:39
Speaker 1: I think two first pitch outs, and he saw seven
7:43
Speaker 1: pitches and four He had been one for 13 in
7:45
Speaker 1: the playoffs before that. And then last night he hits
7:47
Speaker 1: a home run to basically put them over the top
7:50
Speaker 1: and break a 2-2 tie. That's baseball. That's redemption. That
7:54
Speaker 1: is like, hey, maybe I don't suck. That happens every day,
7:58
Speaker 1: almost every inning in baseball. Somebody does something. That goes
8:01
Speaker 1: against what they had been doing previously.
8:03
Speaker 2: Things change.
8:04
Speaker 3: But again, you still didn't survive it. So I mean,
8:07
Speaker 3: whatever the Padres did is cool. You did throw the
8:10
Speaker 3: game into the ground and have one more chance to
8:13
Speaker 3: be able to survive it. So if the Brewers play
8:16
Speaker 3: their clean game, which has been their whole season-long game,
8:21
Speaker 3: that would be nice to be able to bring to
8:22
Speaker 3: the party because now you've played potentially your three ugliest,
8:27
Speaker 3: sloppiest games defensively consecutively.
8:30
Speaker 2: Of all season. Yeah. And you're right, Billy. The air
8:33
Speaker 2: was the one that did him in. I didn't know
8:35
Speaker 2: if it was more Pratt or more Bauer. I think
8:38
Speaker 2: Bauer should probably get that one.
8:40
Speaker 1: It has to be on the throw, but it's a
8:42
Speaker 1: play he's got to make. Somebody's got to get the air.
8:45
Speaker 2: And it was a tough one because there's bats flying
8:48
Speaker 2: through the runner, all that stuff. You had to deal
8:50
Speaker 2: with all that. It's not an excuse. It's just the reality.
8:53
Speaker 1: It was a tough play. That ends up being a
8:55
Speaker 1: successful play, and the four balls that the Brewers hit,
8:58
Speaker 1: a 100-mile-an-hour exit velo into someone's glove.
9:01
Speaker 2: That's hashtag baseball. I hit it in the middle of
9:04
Speaker 2: the fairway.
9:05
Speaker 1: But then it hit a sprinkler head and it kicked
9:06
Speaker 1: into the rough and I couldn't find it.
9:08
Speaker 3: But you also throw a wild pitch to let the
9:10
Speaker 3: sprinkler head get there to help you out.
9:13
Speaker 2: It all cascades. Everything's magnified. Everything's magnified. Even the ball
9:19
Speaker 2: that doesn't go through or That.
9:21
Speaker 1: Chopper isn't hit as well as the screamers, but that
9:24
Speaker 1: chopper got a run in, and the Brewers' four screamers didn't.
9:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Yelich was at 107. I know Murph
9:32
Speaker 2: talked about it off the bat, the double play, but
9:34
Speaker 2: it was right at a fielder. That's the way it goes.
9:36
Speaker 2: I mean, Rod Caruso's right at robbing you out. That's
9:39
Speaker 2: why we won the pennant in 82. It is what
9:41
Speaker 2: it is. I mean, you're right, and Billy, you're right.
9:43
Speaker 2: Unless you can look in the mirror and say, well,
9:45
Speaker 2: we gave ourselves 100% of mistake-free chances to put ourselves
9:49
Speaker 2: in the position to win. Then we can call ourselves
9:52
Speaker 2: poor devils. But we didn't. We did have the error.
9:55
Speaker 2: We did it like you said. Had those moments. So, hey, Pratt, sack, fly, dash,
9:59
Speaker 2: home was a great Brewer-type moment. You know, being ready,
10:03
Speaker 2: running hard, taking advantage of a kind of a minuscule-type
10:06
Speaker 2: error where Jackson Merrill doesn't catch the ball. You would
10:08
Speaker 2: have been in better position as the Padres. That was
10:10
Speaker 2: a great moment. But then, Cordenworth right back with the homers. So,
10:14
Speaker 2: it's just the way that Game 3 went, and you
10:16
Speaker 2: got to try and strap them up again for four
10:18
Speaker 2: here and try and win it tonight.
10:19
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. So, yeah, it's like there wasn't anything bullpen
10:23
Speaker 1: malpractice or really, you know, it was this, but they
10:28
Speaker 1: just lost the game, right?
10:29
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just they lost the game. Somebody's going
10:32
Speaker 2: to hold the sombrero.
10:33
Speaker 3: You had two of them doing it yesterday in Bowers
10:35
Speaker 3: and Mitchell, and listen, now you've got to find a
10:38
Speaker 3: way to be able to win it today, and you
10:40
Speaker 3: still are decently stacked up in the pen. I mean,
10:44
Speaker 3: May was good, again, until he wasn't yesterday, but it
10:47
Speaker 3: felt like he was all right. The shot that Cronenworth
10:50
Speaker 3: hits at low and outside pitch, good spot, just great hit.
10:54
Speaker 3: And Sensatella, it seems like, is going to get out
10:58
Speaker 3: of that thing until you can't. So you still are
11:01
Speaker 3: decently stacked up in the pen, too, today, that at
11:04
Speaker 3: whatever point you get nervous, whatever point you want to
11:07
Speaker 3: go and deploy somebody else, you're pretty well stacked up.
11:11
Speaker 2: Absolutely. You're ready to go. I mean, you have to
11:12
Speaker 2: look at the fact that you have Gasser, the law
11:16
Speaker 2: firm of Gasser, Patrick, and the rest of the crew there.
11:18
Speaker 2: If you want it, you think Gasser gets a big
11:22
Speaker 2: chunk of the work. You think everybody's going to be involved. Yeah,
11:25
Speaker 2: your arms are generally rested enough to get going. You
11:29
Speaker 2: should be in better shape going into this. You mentioned Mitchell.
11:32
Speaker 2: You talk about Cronenworth finally popping off. He was struggling.
11:36
Speaker 2: Mitchell's been struggling, so you kind of hope maybe he
11:38
Speaker 2: can have That type of, hey, you never know what's
11:40
Speaker 2: going to happen. Things change quickly. Maybe he'll figure it out.
11:42
Speaker 2: Have a big moment. William Contreras gave you the homer yesterday.
11:46
Speaker 2: He's been good. Curio was over, but it felt like
11:50
Speaker 2: he had a pretty decent over. I mean, he laced
11:52
Speaker 2: that first ball. So you hit him on the screws.
11:55
Speaker 1: He had the sack fly, so he got it right.
11:57
Speaker 1: Like Philly's talking about, get guys in from third.
11:59
Speaker 2: You hit him on the screws most of the time.
12:01
Speaker 3: As a ballsy send or a great and– Nice rookie
12:06
Speaker 3: intestinal fortitude moment for Cooper Pratt. Anybody think he was going?
12:09
Speaker 2: No way.
12:10
Speaker 3: Definitely the left fielder didn't because you saw the little
12:13
Speaker 3: double clutch and whoa, okay, sweet.
12:15
Speaker 2: And just enough hesitation to get him by. And I
12:18
Speaker 2: think they thought they would have, Merrill would have gone
12:19
Speaker 2: and got that ball and tried to be the one
12:21
Speaker 2: to make the throw. So it didn't happen. One of these,
12:24
Speaker 2: you know, things you think about in the back of
12:26
Speaker 2: your mind, you know, you had the Homer, but the
12:28
Speaker 2: rest of your hits were singles, you know, same old thing,
12:30
Speaker 2: power plays in the playoffs, you know, slugging plays in
12:33
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You get so many hits and it's great.
12:36
Speaker 2: You think you probably get a couple more that are
12:38
Speaker 2: extra bases. You're probably scoring more runs.
12:41
Speaker 1: You leave 11 guys on. 11 hits. That's a lot
12:46
Speaker 1: of hits.
12:47
Speaker 2: It was. It was good. They were threatening all night,
12:50
Speaker 2: much like the Padres were in Milwaukee, to your point, Billy. Yeah.
12:53
Speaker 1: So, again, lace them up today. It didn't go your
12:57
Speaker 1: way sometimes. That's just you don't win them all. Hashtag baseball. But, yeah,
13:03
Speaker 1: there's nothing– It wasn't devastating. Even though it's a one-run loss,
13:07
Speaker 1: it's frustrating, but it's not devastating.
13:09
Speaker 2: That's it.
13:10
Speaker 1: The Padres lost in game two.
13:11
Speaker 2: That's devastating.
13:13
Speaker 1: You had your guy out there, and you spit away
13:15
Speaker 1: a lead. Brewers has never got over home. Not only
13:17
Speaker 1: have all the games been decided by one run, but
13:21
Speaker 1: at no point in the first three games of the
13:23
Speaker 1: series has anybody led by more than two.
13:26
Speaker 3: I don't think that's really changing. I don't think that's changing.
13:30
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be tight. I think it's
13:31
Speaker 3: going to be hot. And somebody's going to have to
13:33
Speaker 3: be able to finish it off. Now, I'm scrolling through,
13:36
Speaker 3: as you should be as well. Hunter B on air
13:39
Speaker 3: had some great audio. We're going to spin through a
13:40
Speaker 3: bunch of it later on here today. They have not
13:44
Speaker 3: confirmed that it's Robert Gasser started, correct?
13:46
Speaker 2: No, I haven't seen it. No.
13:48
Speaker 1: And Murph did not name a starter. So he said
13:50
Speaker 1: he did say Gasser and Patrick. would be ready to go,
13:54
Speaker 1: but he has not named a starter.
13:55
Speaker 2: What are you thinking here, Billy?
13:57
Speaker 3: Does Hunter have the videos in there of the audio
14:01
Speaker 3: from yesterday?
14:02
Speaker 2: He's got a bunch of it. I didn't see the video. Okay.
14:05
Speaker 3: Well, there's a couple of individuals that spoke at the
14:07
Speaker 3: podium yesterday. Obviously, manager Pat Murphy. Garrett Mitchell didn't work
14:11
Speaker 3: very well. Hopefully, better luck today.
14:13
Speaker 2: D.L. Hall got in the game yesterday. And, you know,
14:18
Speaker 2: maybe your game four starter. Aaron Ashby. Hmm.
14:22
Speaker 3: Would be their opportunity to get Aaron Ashby as one
14:26
Speaker 3: start into the playoffs. You got to be able to
14:28
Speaker 3: check the quota yearly to be able to get him one.
14:32
Speaker 3: It might be your perfect chance and then hand it
14:34
Speaker 3: off to Robert Gasser or Chad Patrick.
14:36
Speaker 2: We just didn't want to put them into that Hornets.
14:38
Speaker 2: For a little opener.
14:39
Speaker 3: Facing Tatis right out of the gate. Merrill or Hinton second.
14:42
Speaker 3: Come on now. We couldn't put those guys in that situation.
14:45
Speaker 3: We're going to get Ashby in there first.
14:46
Speaker 2: You know what's nice is DL has done a nice
14:48
Speaker 2: job as a lefty and you have his ability if
14:50
Speaker 2: you need a lefty later. To use them. So if
14:52
Speaker 2: you want to use Ashby right away and not worry about, hey,
14:55
Speaker 2: should we save a lefty? Make this guy your opener?
14:58
Speaker 2: I kind of like that, Billy. Yeah, you kind of
15:00
Speaker 2: expect the unexpected, right, when it comes to the Brewers
15:02
Speaker 2: in the playoffs? Will they come up with something like
15:04
Speaker 2: that here? Will they have a different mix of pitchers?
15:06
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see.
15:07
Speaker 1: One streak that started in 2018 ended last night.
15:12
Speaker 2: That was good to see. Yes, 87 attempts.
15:15
Speaker 1: Christian Yelich drove in a run.
15:16
Speaker 2: That was cathartic.
15:17
Speaker 1: In the postseason.
15:17
Speaker 2: It was a nice pill. It was down there for him,
15:20
Speaker 2: but it was 100 miles an hour, so it was cathartic.
15:22
Speaker 2: He got good wood all night. I mean, he really did.
15:24
Speaker 2: He's been making good contact here in the playoffs, which
15:28
Speaker 2: is a good sign. Maybe he can get more chances here. Unfortunately,
15:33
Speaker 2: that was another chance at a big moment there in
15:35
Speaker 2: the ninth. Obviously, he had a good swing on it.
15:39
Speaker 2: He got contact, but Right to him. But at least
15:41
Speaker 2: the streak was snapped. Now people can stop talking about it. Yeah.
15:45
Speaker 1: Well, we contributed to that. It was a talking point.
15:48
Speaker 1: It was noteworthy.
15:50
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now you got to, now you got to beat
15:51
Speaker 2: the important one.
15:52
Speaker 1: As, as adroitly pointed out by the captain of the Brewers,
15:55
Speaker 1: like people say, well, they haven't won a post season
15:58
Speaker 1: road game since 2018. He's like, there's only one guy
16:01
Speaker 1: here who was here in 2018. And he's the guy.
16:05
Speaker 2: So he's like, what does that matter?
16:07
Speaker 1: And he's right. Like what is, What did Sal Freelick
16:10
Speaker 1: have to do with that stat? Or anybody else? Or Uribe?
16:13
Speaker 1: They weren't there. It's frustrating for the fan base, for sure.
16:17
Speaker 3: Yeah. They were there in 21. Most of them were
16:20
Speaker 3: there in 23, 24, and 25. So, I mean, there's
16:23
Speaker 3: definitely some guys that were there contributing to it. But
16:27
Speaker 3: I get the line of demarcation in that day. But
16:29
Speaker 3: there were years when they didn't play a road game
16:30
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.
16:31
Speaker 2: That's true.
16:32
Speaker 1: In that stretch, right?
16:33
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah. So, yeah.
16:34
Speaker 3: Well, then, I mean, they've lost what? So then 21
16:36
Speaker 3: would have been the other time. They lost one game
16:39
Speaker 3: in 19. Yeah, that was it. Yeah, so then there's a...
16:44
Speaker 3: Kind of an important game in 19 as it turned out.
16:47
Speaker 3: More important than last night. But yes, clean slate today.
16:52
Speaker 3: Put the champagne and then you got game five in
16:54
Speaker 3: your pocket if you need it.
16:56
Speaker 1: Still hanging out there. Yeah, you hope you don't. And
16:58
Speaker 1: that's what makes coming back in a taught, closely contested
17:02
Speaker 1: series like this so hard. So I still like the Brewers' chances, folks.
17:05
Speaker 1: I like their chances tonight, as a matter of fact,
17:07
Speaker 1: even though we don't know who's starting.
17:08
Speaker 3: Steph Furry picked them to win in four. Now, if
17:11
Speaker 3: you are unfamiliar with Steph Furry's game, otherwise known as
17:15
Speaker 3: Eric Orgy online, Eric got ridiculous popularity and got brought
17:21
Speaker 3: to the NBA Finals by the San Antonio Spurs this year.
17:25
Speaker 3: I believe 500,000 followers on TikTok.
17:28
Speaker 2: Oh, my. 1.2 million followers on YouTube. I hope he's
17:30
Speaker 2: got two-factor authentication with those follower numbers. But if he's
17:34
Speaker 2: got that type of pull and he's got that type
17:35
Speaker 2: of accuracy, Billy.
17:36
Speaker 4: But.
17:37
Speaker 2: I mean, I like this. Then I like it. I'm
17:39
Speaker 2: taking it.
17:39
Speaker 3: Corgi hit that bad boy in there two games in
17:41
Speaker 3: a row. Won the first two at home. did predict
17:45
Speaker 3: that the Padres would get game three, but Eric Corgi
17:47
Speaker 3: predicted the Brewers would win here tonight. So, listen, hit
17:51
Speaker 3: percentage is pretty damn good already for the NFL, and
17:54
Speaker 3: he goes against the spread, too. So, I'd watch out
17:56
Speaker 3: when people are doubting Steph Furry out here. And I've
17:59
Speaker 3: always loved that breed, so let's make it happen.
18:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's because you're a fan of the royal family.
18:03
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of anyone that says we're going to
18:05
Speaker 2: win tonight. Let's put it that way.
18:07
Speaker 1: That's simpler. All right, when we come back, Hunter's got
18:10
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff for us, and he'll join us.
18:11
Speaker 1: We'll wake him up after the Yeah, 7 o'clock. I
18:14
Speaker 1: will let him sleep in as long as possible. I
18:17
Speaker 1: was wondering if we were going.
18:18
Speaker 2: To wake him up. He was all over with me.
18:20
Speaker 3: I got his hotel number, so I gave him a
18:22
Speaker 3: call on my way in, too. Going to also spin
18:25
Speaker 3: through some hot takes today. Hot take hump day is
18:28
Speaker 3: upon us. Again, 877-794-1973.
18:30
Speaker 1: Get yourself a comfortable chair, a cold or a hot
18:34
Speaker 1: beverage of your choice. Settle in for the Wednesday edition
18:37
Speaker 1: of The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
18:40
Speaker 4: We've hit four or five balls. over a hundred that
18:43
Speaker 4: were caught. Um, but we also punched out in big situations.
18:48
Speaker 4: We had bases loaded. We had other big situations that
18:51
Speaker 4: we didn't come through. So that's part of baseball. When
18:53
Speaker 4: you're facing a good team with, with, uh, good pitching staff,
18:58
Speaker 4: you know, it's part of it.
19:02
Speaker 1: Brewer skipper, Pat Murphy, bringing us back after the Padres
19:05
Speaker 1: prevail four, three last evening at Petco park. What'd you
19:08
Speaker 1: guys think of the atmosphere that it came through the television?
19:12
Speaker 2: It was good. It was fun. It sounded raucous. It
19:14
Speaker 2: sounded like a good time.
19:15
Speaker 3: I mean, for the folks that are just really getting
19:21
Speaker 3: after it about the standing thing, I saw plenty of
19:24
Speaker 3: people sitting down at certain times during the game. I
19:27
Speaker 3: don't know that they stood for three hours of hell.
19:29
Speaker 3: I don't know that it was the student section, but
19:32
Speaker 3: it was loud.
19:32
Speaker 2: It was fun. That was for sure. I'm with you, Billy.
19:35
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a little bit of like, I don't
19:37
Speaker 2: know what the right term is, but Yeah, everyone wants
19:40
Speaker 2: to emphasize the standing versus sitting there thing, and I
19:43
Speaker 2: think it's more about how much noise you make. Yeah,
19:45
Speaker 2: it was really good, but I think it was really
19:47
Speaker 2: good Milwaukee. It was one of those things that it's
19:49
Speaker 2: hard to win in San Diego. It always is. They
19:52
Speaker 2: have a good crowd. They get up for big moments
19:54
Speaker 2: and big rallies, just like we did here at home.
19:57
Speaker 2: They were, they were having a good time, you know,
19:59
Speaker 2: obviously it's their first playoff game here in this. So
20:01
Speaker 2: it's like in this series. So it was pretty good.
20:04
Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and And say, like,
20:06
Speaker 2: Milwaukee's was so much worse. I know some people, like
20:09
Speaker 2: you said, Billy, want to emphasize the standing versus sitting thing.
20:11
Speaker 3: Well, but let me expound upon it, because I do
20:14
Speaker 3: believe there was a noticeable difference between, like, innings four
20:18
Speaker 3: through seven when Milwaukee batter has two strikes.
20:23
Speaker 2: On him, Drew.
20:24
Speaker 3: You hear the energy getting rolling, or almost like watching
20:29
Speaker 3: the Venezuelan team. And remember during the World Baseball Classic,
20:32
Speaker 3: all I asked for was, where is our puncher? Somebody,
20:36
Speaker 3: you need to find something that you can yell at
20:38
Speaker 3: the opponent when there's two strikes. Because that Venezuelan environment
20:42
Speaker 3: down there in Miami was unreal.
20:44
Speaker 2: And the U.S.
20:45
Speaker 3: Was rattled by it. And that was for consistent time.
20:49
Speaker 3: You could tell, like, every time it hit two strikes. Sweet,
20:52
Speaker 3: let's get rolling. That energy was nice to be able
20:55
Speaker 3: to feel. That we need to carry over.
20:57
Speaker 2: Consistent energy. It's almost like people are looking for that
21:00
Speaker 2: soccer crowd type, international consistent energy energy. I get it.
21:04
Speaker 2: You know, I think they're a little less nervous than
21:06
Speaker 2: we are.
21:06
Speaker 3: Not really consistent energy. I'm talking about just on two strikes.
21:09
Speaker 3: Like when it gets to a moment when you can
21:11
Speaker 3: get it out. That doesn't mean that you have to
21:12
Speaker 3: have like the Vuvuzela blowing throughout the entire game.
21:15
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean, it's like you're given the non-nervous energy.
21:20
Speaker 2: You know, people always talk about how they feel the
21:22
Speaker 2: Brewers fans being nervous. And I think that there's some
21:24
Speaker 2: of that. And maybe there wasn't as much Padres fans
21:27
Speaker 2: weren't as anxious maybe. and giving you the mid-inning bursts
21:34
Speaker 2: that you get. So it was good. It's always a
21:36
Speaker 2: good atmosphere there. A lot of people that have either
21:40
Speaker 2: retired and already don't have worries in their life, so
21:44
Speaker 2: things are taken care of now. They're just living in California,
21:47
Speaker 2: having a great time, going to the game, less nervous.
21:51
Speaker 2: It's just a different energy, I think, out there. You
21:54
Speaker 2: have to give them credit. It's always hard to win there.
21:56
Speaker 2: We've had our troubles, and that's probably the thing that
21:59
Speaker 2: Gives me the most consternation going into game four. It's
22:01
Speaker 2: like you have to believe you can beat them there
22:04
Speaker 2: before you get to see it.
22:06
Speaker 1: Brewers do, absolutely.
22:07
Speaker 2: It's a fan. You have to see it happen before
22:08
Speaker 2: you really. It's like, all right, well, you still haven't
22:10
Speaker 2: done it. So it's like.
22:12
Speaker 1: So are you in the camp that fan rooting has
22:15
Speaker 1: an impact, Armin?
22:17
Speaker 2: I always have. I've always been. I know you have.
22:20
Speaker 1: That's why you react the way you do.
22:21
Speaker 2: You can impact the game from the stands. Not from
22:24
Speaker 2: my seat at home. But from the stands, I absolutely
22:27
Speaker 2: believe you can give energy to your team, and it's there.
22:32
Speaker 1: Hunter Baumgart is our boots on the ground. He's our dude.
22:35
Speaker 1: He's going to join us in a couple hours. We're
22:36
Speaker 1: going to let him sleep in a little bit because
22:37
Speaker 1: he was up late providing reports for us.
22:41
Speaker 2: Let's hear it.
22:41
Speaker 1: Take it away, Hunter.
22:43
Speaker 6: The Brewers fall in Game 3 of the NLDS by
22:45
Speaker 6: a final score of 4-3 here in San Diego. I'm
22:47
Speaker 6: Hunter Baumgart for Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. The Brewers had
22:50
Speaker 6: their opportunities. They've now left 27 runners on base in
22:53
Speaker 6: the series, including the ninth inning when Christian Yelich hit
22:56
Speaker 6: a 107-mile-an-hour line drive. That was gobbled up by Xander Bogarts,
23:00
Speaker 6: turned into a double play that ended the game. Yelich
23:02
Speaker 6: was visibly frustrated about it after the game.
23:05
Speaker 5: Step to the right or left. Pretty good.
23:08
Speaker 3: Hit it hard.
23:12
Speaker 2: Just happened to be right at him. It's unfortunate, you know,
23:16
Speaker 2: part of the game. That's how it goes sometimes.
23:18
Speaker 5: You just gotta, you know. keep out. Not much else
23:21
Speaker 5: you can do.
23:22
Speaker 2: It's frustrating.
23:22
Speaker 3: It doesn't really bounce your way, but it's how it goes.
23:25
Speaker 6: And you can't blame him, right? Had a chance to
23:27
Speaker 6: tie or have the Brewers take the lead in that instance. Now,
23:30
Speaker 6: back in the sixth inning, Cooper Pratt with a throwing
23:32
Speaker 6: error that allowed the eventual winning run to score. Here's
23:36
Speaker 6: what Pratt said after the game. He wasn't making any
23:37
Speaker 6: excuses for it.
23:38
Speaker 2: I mean, you can make excuses about everything. I feel
23:41
Speaker 2: that the ball.
23:43
Speaker 2: Through the ball and get dirt.
23:46
Speaker 5: Cost us a lot.
23:47
Speaker 6: Brewers defense that has been so good all season long
23:49
Speaker 6: been a little shaky in these first three games. So
23:51
Speaker 6: they turn to game four. Brewers manager Pat Murphy has
23:54
Speaker 6: not named a starter yet, so we'll see. It'll be
23:56
Speaker 6: a late night game again. 9 o'clock first pitch here
23:59
Speaker 6: in San Diego. It'll be 7 o'clock local time. Brewers
24:03
Speaker 6: going for the series win, trying to advance to their
24:05
Speaker 6: second straight NLCS. We'll see if it happens in San Diego.
24:07
Speaker 6: This report brought to you by Community Roofing. I'm Hunter
24:10
Speaker 6: Baumgart for Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
24:12
Speaker 1: All right, Hunter. Talk to you in about two hours.
24:15
Speaker 2: Nice Petco backdrop there.
24:16
Speaker 1: Making another run at being our current electric superhero of
24:19
Speaker 1: the day with these reports.
24:20
Speaker 3: I was going to say, going to be hard to
24:22
Speaker 3: top there. Yamamoto would be hard to beat for it
24:27
Speaker 3: as well there for the Dodgers last night. That was
24:29
Speaker 3: pretty impressive. But you do start seeing, I mean, Yelich
24:33
Speaker 3: obviously in the middle of the rally. Contreras, I mean,
24:37
Speaker 3: they haven't had much of an answer for him and
24:39
Speaker 3: definitely didn't last night. Drew, it is when coming into
24:44
Speaker 3: the year, it is funny through the last like six
24:47
Speaker 3: and a half, six weeks, eight weeks, I don't know,
24:50
Speaker 3: last three months, it was pretty clear that the Brewers
24:52
Speaker 3: were going to the playoffs. So like at some point,
24:55
Speaker 3: every conversation did turn to, yeah, but what are you
24:57
Speaker 3: going to do in October? For Yelich specifically, him being
25:02
Speaker 3: able to perform in the postseason is nice to be
25:04
Speaker 3: able to see as somebody that I think a lot
25:06
Speaker 3: of us kind of defended that thought and thought, hey,
25:09
Speaker 3: At some point, he's going to have to perform. At
25:11
Speaker 3: some point, it's going to lay in. He's had a
25:13
Speaker 3: nice little run here. He's gotten your first hit in
25:15
Speaker 3: each of the first three games. But damn, William Contreras,
25:18
Speaker 3: every single time these games pop up, make you wonder
25:22
Speaker 3: if he's the next guy that you try to find
25:24
Speaker 3: some kind of money for. Because the big moment, that bat,
25:27
Speaker 3: that's an electric combination.
25:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. And bringing the swag as well. I think
25:33
Speaker 2: bringing energy, a little confidence, got to have that. But,
25:36
Speaker 2: you know, talk about the playoff players, right, Billy? Always
25:39
Speaker 2: trying to find who the playoff players are, if it's
25:41
Speaker 2: real or not. Contreras would be one of them. He's
25:42
Speaker 2: absolutely coming up big, no question. And, you know, the
25:45
Speaker 2: extra base hit last night, you'd love to see some
25:48
Speaker 2: more of that. Anyone that can provide power right now,
25:50
Speaker 2: and he's the one. And he's also taking his time
25:52
Speaker 2: around the bases, you know, like that. I wonder if
25:55
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. He sped it up a little
25:56
Speaker 2: bit last night. He sped it up a little bit
25:59
Speaker 2: last night. I mean, it was a 30-second trip. A
26:02
Speaker 2: couple little moments he gave a couple of these. But
26:04
Speaker 2: the thing is, I like that, you know, he's trying
26:07
Speaker 2: to gas up his dugout. After the walk, he's clapping
26:10
Speaker 2: at the dugout. Like, you need a little bit of
26:11
Speaker 2: energy on the road. I think it's good that he's
26:13
Speaker 2: providing it. He's been huge. There's no question. Right. Vince
26:18
Speaker 2: said one final Wednesday at the club, by the way.
26:20
Speaker 2: It's been a great run. Yes. Thank you, Vince.
26:21
Speaker 1: That's true. That is true.
26:23
Speaker 2: You can join us in the afternoon.
26:24
Speaker 1: If you missed the memo that came out earlier this week,
26:27
Speaker 1: we'll move the show next week, 2 to 5 p.m.
26:31
Speaker 2: That's right.
26:31
Speaker 1: 2 to 5 p.m.
26:33
Speaker 2: Wanted to get 920's text in. He said, and I
26:38
Speaker 2: was thinking about it. I guess I didn't hear too
26:40
Speaker 2: many people complaining about the decision, but he said, I
26:42
Speaker 2: would have started Chad Patrick over May. and had him
26:44
Speaker 2: come in as a relief.
26:45
Speaker 1: Mays was reliable, should have been. Yeah, he gave up
26:48
Speaker 1: a couple.
26:48
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you kind of thought, like, who are
26:51
Speaker 2: your reliable starters right now? And I guess it's the playoffs,
26:54
Speaker 2: so you don't think about starters, relievers in a traditional
26:56
Speaker 2: sense maybe. But you had to think with Mays, and
27:00
Speaker 2: I get it, the sample size, whatever, and maybe it's
27:03
Speaker 2: not as accurate. But his history against San Diego, the success,
27:05
Speaker 2: he was going to get a shot here somewhere. Maybe
27:08
Speaker 2: not game three, but maybe game four. I'm not really sure, so. Yeah,
27:11
Speaker 2: I don't know. He didn't lose him the game.
27:12
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, as low of a bar as that
27:15
Speaker 3: might be to be to clear.
27:16
Speaker 2: But like he I thought he I thought he was
27:18
Speaker 2: all right.
27:19
Speaker 3: He was, again, good until he wasn't until their best
27:21
Speaker 3: three guys strung three good at bats and hits against them.
27:24
Speaker 3: Like at some point, the dam would break. And, you know,
27:28
Speaker 3: Merrill Machado got the two after Tatis grounds out the
27:32
Speaker 3: one when they manufacture the run. They manufactured the runs
27:35
Speaker 3: last night too, right?
27:36
Speaker 1: Stolen bases.
27:37
Speaker 3: Their first run was on stolen bases. Merrill steals a
27:39
Speaker 3: base and comes around. I was wondering when the Brewers
27:42
Speaker 3: were going to try and get active on the base paths.
27:46
Speaker 3: If there would be more of a second guess I
27:47
Speaker 3: would have from last night, Drew, that would be the one.
27:51
Speaker 3: Especially how much we glazed and talked about how big...
27:55
Speaker 3: The stolen base was the other night by yellow, huge
27:58
Speaker 3: to be able to get that rally going. I, when
28:00
Speaker 3: he got on, I definitely thought he was going in
28:02
Speaker 3: front of Mitchell instead didn't. And, uh, you know, they
28:06
Speaker 3: ended up getting two bases and a run. They also
28:09
Speaker 3: throw themselves out of one. So you don't know where
28:11
Speaker 3: it's going to be a give and take, but I
28:13
Speaker 3: didn't think may was a problem last night. I thought
28:15
Speaker 3: it was more interesting when they talked about may on
28:18
Speaker 3: the broadcast and him getting the start, they pan the camera, uh,
28:22
Speaker 3: to Kyle Harrison, because that is where, as much as
28:25
Speaker 3: Murph mentioned, we went out and got May for this.
28:29
Speaker 3: They traded for May to be a playoff starter. At
28:33
Speaker 3: some point, they were going to have to throw him
28:34
Speaker 3: out there. The only reason he did that was because
28:35
Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison slid down the back of the dinosaur.
28:37
Speaker 2: That's it. This would have been his spot, I mean,
28:40
Speaker 2: in theory, because he had been so good in the
28:42
Speaker 2: first half of the year, so he would have got
28:43
Speaker 2: his spot somewhere. And the inability of him to figure
28:46
Speaker 2: it out again is kind of what put you in
28:47
Speaker 2: this position, I guess. And then you could go deeper
28:50
Speaker 2: and deeper in this, and if they get Scooble, if
28:53
Speaker 2: they don't.
28:54
Speaker 1: You like a lefty. That's why I think Gasser gets
28:56
Speaker 1: the start today. Just change it up, right?
28:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, or Ashby, like you mentioned, Billy. That's Billy's pick.
29:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.
29:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, my bet is Aaron Ashby.
29:04
Speaker 1: I like Ashby in the leverage inning.
29:06
Speaker 2: He's good there, too.
29:08
Speaker 3: Trust me, there's no argument here. This is the judge
29:12
Speaker 3: actions instead of words.
29:13
Speaker 1: With the way Bobby was pitching, throw him out there,
29:15
Speaker 1: see how he does. And you got backups.
29:18
Speaker 2: I believe in all these guys' ability to get outs.
29:20
Speaker 5: Yeah.
29:21
Speaker 2: It's just, even you're right. I think you're.
29:23
Speaker 1: Thinking now, and I know it rankles the old school people,
29:28
Speaker 1: but you're thinking it's almost like you start a game
29:30
Speaker 1: and get us once through the order.
29:31
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Well, and that's where I thought May was
29:34
Speaker 2: going last night. Right?
29:35
Speaker 3: And if he would have been able to get out
29:38
Speaker 3: of it with Merrill. it's a clean break, right? They
29:42
Speaker 3: get the ground ball, innings over, that's fine. That's where
29:46
Speaker 3: they had the infield in with one out, Drew, and
29:48
Speaker 3: the balls just hit off to the side of Ortiz
29:51
Speaker 3: or Pratt at short. I thought it almost favored the
29:54
Speaker 3: Brewers because I didn't think they were going to get
29:55
Speaker 3: them at the plate even if it was right at them.
29:58
Speaker 3: And that's one where if you keep a guy on
29:59
Speaker 3: base and don't get a single out, that's where that
30:03
Speaker 3: place really tips over against you. That's where innings snowball. Yeah,
30:07
Speaker 3: you know, so in that moment, you get Merrill out.
30:10
Speaker 3: I think no harm, no foul. You're probably handing it
30:11
Speaker 3: off to the bullpen just like you did with Romero
30:13
Speaker 3: at that point.
30:13
Speaker 2: But who knows? We can get a couple quick ones
30:16
Speaker 2: on YouTube if you want. John K., John Curzau, a
30:18
Speaker 2: tough one last night. Strand, too many runners. Got to
30:20
Speaker 2: break the world losing streak tonight. Yeah, indeed. Hard to
30:23
Speaker 2: argue with that. Interesting one from Andrew Fritch here. At
30:26
Speaker 2: some point, Bryce Trang's inability to hit in the postseason
30:28
Speaker 2: has to put him on the bench. 114-25, 091-26. And also,
30:33
Speaker 2: Kambauer not swinging any pitch in the inner half. Yeah,
30:35
Speaker 2: he's struggling, but I'm sorry, brother. He ain't going on
30:37
Speaker 2: the bench.
30:38
Speaker 3: I mean, that's... No, the two strikeouts looking, yeah, definitely
30:42
Speaker 3: disappointing there.
30:43
Speaker 2: But the... The 091, was that the number for last year?
30:47
Speaker 2: That's for this year, and he had one, well, he
30:49
Speaker 2: said 114 and 25. I haven't cross-checked it, but he said.
30:52
Speaker 3: Well, the 114 would have included the homer against the
30:55
Speaker 3: Cubs in game five.
30:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was a big one. You have to
30:57
Speaker 2: consider that, too.
30:58
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's definitely in the, he would maybe
31:01
Speaker 3: be more of the poor devil category than the other
31:03
Speaker 3: guys last night, but his one hit comes on a
31:06
Speaker 3: misdiving play. Like, yeah, he's definitely been the, I think
31:12
Speaker 3: he's been potentially their streakiest guy all year long.
31:15
Speaker 2: That's a good way to look at it.
31:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
31:16
Speaker 2: I think him and Garrett have been kind of, well.
31:18
Speaker 3: I feel like we've talked about Bryce terrain multiple times
31:21
Speaker 3: throughout the year, mayor of slump city, and then all
31:24
Speaker 3: of a sudden hitting four 10 for a week and
31:26
Speaker 3: a half run.
31:27
Speaker 2: So all you can hope for is that slump turns
31:29
Speaker 2: around and becomes that streak starting tonight. But I just
31:31
Speaker 2: don't think you're not going to sit him. I mean,
31:33
Speaker 2: it is what it is. These are your guys. These
31:35
Speaker 2: are your guys. You're going to fill out the lineup
31:36
Speaker 2: card and bring them in there. You might have choices
31:38
Speaker 2: here or there, but who's going to play set. Who's good.
31:40
Speaker 2: What are you going to do? You're going to get
31:43
Speaker 2: them out there and hope he turns it around. Right.
31:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, 100%.
31:47
Speaker 2: Our boy Ryan in Muskego. Ryan, amen.
31:51
Speaker 3: Guys, do they play day games in San Diego? God forbid.
31:56
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball pushed the East Coast start time to
31:59
Speaker 3: 4 p.m. and the West Coast start time to 7 o'clock,
32:01
Speaker 3: 5 o'clock San Diego time, so people in Milwaukee could
32:04
Speaker 3: actually watch their team play.
32:06
Speaker 2: Two nights in a row I can't watch it because
32:07
Speaker 2: I'm a part of the 3 o'clock club. Ryan, that's
32:11
Speaker 2: real hustle. Oh, that's hustle. Figure it out, MLB. Yeah, Ryan,
32:14
Speaker 2: I am....
32:16
Speaker 3: I had a number of different moments yesterday. I said,
32:20
Speaker 3: Rob Manfred, I get this pitch clock thing is really good.
32:22
Speaker 3: I'm really, really satisfied with the extra inning rule in
32:27
Speaker 3: the regular season. Also love that it's gone in the postseason.
32:30
Speaker 2: I think Rob Manfred's done a phenomenal job. Okay.
32:33
Speaker 3: This 8.30, that 9 o'clock first pitch, son of a gun.
32:37
Speaker 3: That is one where it'll be a demerit.
32:41
Speaker 2: Towards Bobby Manfred.
32:43
Speaker 3: I'll put that one on his permanent record.
32:45
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you, Ryan. Come on. Yeah, Billy,
32:48
Speaker 2: we were texting yesterday back and forth, the three of us, about...
32:52
Speaker 2: how much of a struggle it was.
32:54
Speaker 3: It's 3.40 in the afternoon, and I'm like, how on
32:56
Speaker 3: earth is this game not starting for another four or
32:58
Speaker 3: five hours?
32:59
Speaker 2: I'm five hours away. And then they're like, oh, you
33:02
Speaker 2: like that? We're going to make it even a half
33:04
Speaker 2: hour or so.
33:04
Speaker 3: And yes, it was the start time, but it was
33:07
Speaker 3: also like, I mean, we do this all year long,
33:10
Speaker 3: but the day game, then no game, then late night game.
33:14
Speaker 2: Like, what the hell am I doing with myself?
33:16
Speaker 1: Also, that Sunday was so draining watching that.
33:19
Speaker 2: Oh, God, yes. There's just that big blank spot of time,
33:22
Speaker 2: and it's like, I get it. What, Friends reruns? Like,
33:25
Speaker 2: what's going on?
33:26
Speaker 1: And these games are inherently longer, too. Because it's like...
33:30
Speaker 1: It's 40 minutes longer than the average regular season game.
33:33
Speaker 2: They're cramming in an extra spot. Yeah, I think they're
33:36
Speaker 2: cramming in. I was going to say, they get one
33:37
Speaker 2: extra spot per break.
33:38
Speaker 1: So that tax. Laws and rights.
33:42
Speaker 2: That's smart work. Yeah, so there's always some business reason
33:45
Speaker 2: for it, but it's like, and then the extra half
33:46
Speaker 2: hour tonight, it's like, what are you doing? Why the
33:50
Speaker 2: extra half hour to make it even that much worse?
33:51
Speaker 2: Just so we can hear more of Jeter and A-Rod.
33:55
Speaker 2: The good thing is they'll put you to sleep if
33:57
Speaker 2: you weren't tired already.
33:59
Speaker 3: But at least today there's games on all day. Today
34:02
Speaker 3: I can at least stomach it because you have four
34:05
Speaker 3: games on. When we only got two games, it's like
34:08
Speaker 3: in the NCAA tournament when on the fourth day They
34:13
Speaker 3: play one game at 11 o'clock, and they play five
34:16
Speaker 3: games at 8 on Sunday night.
34:18
Speaker 1: What are we doing? 3, 5, 7, and 9 for
34:20
Speaker 1: your viewing pleasure.
34:21
Speaker 2: There we go. Okay, good. Getting nice days of work in.
34:24
Speaker 2: Go down to the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. Get your four-piecer. Win it.
34:27
Speaker 2: Come down by us tomorrow.
34:28
Speaker 1: Speaking of Pottawatomie, we will be there tomorrow for the
34:30
Speaker 1: Thursday night huddle. And all Thursdays moving forward that the
34:34
Speaker 1: Packers don't play or it's not a major holiday. So
34:36
Speaker 1: Thursday night huddle, Pottawatomie Sportsbook in the annex. Come and
34:39
Speaker 1: see us. We'll be there between 5 and 7 o'clock.
34:42
Speaker 1: This Thursday, as always. Would have been nice to have
34:44
Speaker 1: that four-game slate to lead into that, but, you know,
34:47
Speaker 1: it's still going.
34:48
Speaker 2: To be good.
34:49
Speaker 1: You know, we hope.
34:52
Speaker 2: We hope. Yeah, you're right. We hope.
34:55
Speaker 1: If one of the American League series gets extended, they'll
34:58
Speaker 1: have games. Otherwise, we'll only have Thursday Night Football. Steven Vogt,
35:02
Speaker 1: wake those boys up.
35:03
Speaker 2: Come on. The Yankees can do something.
35:05
Speaker 1: We'll see.
35:05
Speaker 2: Let's get it.
35:05
Speaker 1: Hunter's got more interviews and reaction for us. Brewers lose.
35:09
Speaker 1: They miss a chance to close it out. They get
35:11
Speaker 1: another tonight. We're going to talk Bears-Packers as we move
35:14
Speaker 1: forward as well. Hunter joins us at 725. You are
35:17
Speaker 1: in the huddle.
35:18
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.

Speaker 1: I think Ash said earlier, it's like 40 of us
35:24
Speaker 1: versus 50,000.
35:26
Speaker 2: But it's fun, man. It's fun to play like this,
35:29
Speaker 2: and this is what we play for.
35:30
Speaker 1: We play for times like this. We just got to
35:33

36:33
Speaker 1: Bidding begins in a week. A week from now, but
36:35
Speaker 1: Billy's already surfing around, circling his deals.
36:38
Speaker 2: Well, I'm eyeing up, Drew, this sauna deal. Because I
36:42
Speaker 2: don't know if you've been.
36:43
Speaker 3: Seeing all the cool influencers have these saunas in there.
36:47
Speaker 3: Because it went from the cold plunge to the sauna.
36:50
Speaker 3: For like three weeks, the cool thing was I do
36:55
Speaker 3: ice baths in the morning.
36:55
Speaker 2: And now people are putting them in their house, right?
36:57
Speaker 2: The saunas and stuff. Oh, yeah.
36:58
Speaker 3: Now people are having, well, you want to have a
37:01
Speaker 3: sauna in your house bid on milwaukee.com could be your
37:05
Speaker 3: way to getting yourself this bachman's.
37:09
Speaker 5: 2020 kylo helo yeah man b series the b series
37:14
Speaker 5: the b series is where it's at dude now this

Speaker 5: thing is intense and if i'm gonna be walking over

Speaker 5: to a friend's house and they have the b series
37:24
Speaker 5: i'm like okay cool then all of a sudden you
37:26
Speaker 5: roll in with this vita designer and.
37:28
Speaker 2: No, let's go. Then it's like the big time one, right?
37:31
Speaker 2: Then you know you're about that. This thing looks like
37:32
Speaker 2: a country club. So I don't know.
37:34
Speaker 3: I'm debating how to get into the sauna business. And Drew,
37:40
Speaker 3: the biggest one is I love the sauna.
37:43
Speaker 2: Yes. I don't like going to the sauna at the gym.
37:47
Speaker 2: You don't like going out there and having a sweat
37:48
Speaker 2: with people you don't know? Is that what you're saying?
37:50
Speaker 3: It's not that you don't know people. It's that you
37:53
Speaker 3: get to know people. Far too well.
37:56
Speaker 2: Far too well. Far too quickly. Very true. That is
37:59
Speaker 2: a place that should be. Locked up. Yeah, or what
38:03
Speaker 2: you should do is make it a revenue opportunity. Have
38:05
Speaker 2: it in your house, then rent out time for people
38:07
Speaker 2: to come and take a sweat.
38:10
Speaker 3: Look at you, small business right there. See, but I'm
38:14
Speaker 3: too close to an elementary school. I think there might
38:16
Speaker 3: be things that I'd have to clear.
38:17
Speaker 2: Probably a good idea, William. BidOnMilwaukeeAuction.com, by the way, is
38:21
Speaker 2: the site. It starts a week from today, 6 a.m. Actually,
38:24
Speaker 2: a week from about now, literally, in 10 minutes. 6 a.m. Wednesday,
38:29
Speaker 2: October 14th. It ends at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 15th.
38:32
Speaker 2: So there you go. BitOnMilwaukeeAuction.com.
38:35
Speaker 1: That's right. All right, 877-794-1973.
38:37
Speaker 3: Our buddy Derek was saying these games are so late
38:41
Speaker 3: he might not be able to go bow hunting this weekend. Derek,
38:44
Speaker 3: some sweet bows. Sweet bows rolling up here on BitOnMilwaukee. But, yeah,
38:47
Speaker 3: you've got to get out there and get some meat
38:48
Speaker 3: in the freezer. So we still are going to need
38:51
Speaker 3: you to wake up early on Saturday and go and hustle.
38:53
Speaker 2: Got to get out there.
38:54
Speaker 5: Come on.
38:54
Speaker 2: I mean, they're running around. I don't know. I see
38:57
Speaker 2: them all the time. We talked about it yesterday.
38:58
Speaker 1: So they're out there running around.
39:00
Speaker 2: They're out there. If you need to find some, I'll
39:02
Speaker 2: let you know where to go.
39:04
Speaker 1: Armin knows all the hiding spots.
39:06
Speaker 3: Could you imagine somebody just standing out here with a
39:08
Speaker 3: crossbow in their hand?
39:10
Speaker 2: Probably not a good idea. Yeah, they would. They're very illegal,
39:13
Speaker 2: but they'd be cleaning up. Make me nervous to walk around.
39:16
Speaker 2: Paul from Kenosha, good morning, fellas. This is on YouTube,
39:18
Speaker 2: by the way. You can always get us there. Watch
39:20
Speaker 2: it on the stream. Tough loss, everyone. Brewers kept it close,
39:22
Speaker 2: but the Padres did what they could to stay ahead. Yeah,
39:25
Speaker 2: that's a great breakdown. The Brewers, after loss usually bounce
39:27
Speaker 2: back and get a win. Go brewers. I like that.
39:29
Speaker 2: That's what they've done. They bounced back this year. Let's
39:31
Speaker 2: see if they can do it again. Yeah. I didn't
39:34
Speaker 2: get 11 hits. Um, I like your chances. If they
39:37
Speaker 2: do that again, I like their chances. That's what I
39:39
Speaker 2: was going to say. I mean, you know, you hope
39:41
Speaker 2: a few of those.
39:41
Speaker 1: Are 11 hits and four walks. Usually it translates to
39:44
Speaker 1: more than three runs.
39:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
39:46
Speaker 3: As frustrating as it is, Drew, I would much rather
39:48
Speaker 3: have last night be the result. Then you get three
39:51
Speaker 3: runs on three hits. And the only thing you do
39:53
Speaker 3: is barely scrape by. I mean, they had a ton
39:55
Speaker 3: of action. They made it really tough on them. My
39:58
Speaker 3: thought is this thing goes down again tonight and Joey
40:02
Speaker 3: Ortiz comes up in that big spot. I did not
40:04
Speaker 3: anticipate at any point during the year. That was second
40:07
Speaker 3: and third and two outs. I was excited that Joey
40:09
Speaker 3: Ortiz had a bat in his hand. And he was
40:10
Speaker 3: like 10 feet away from making me really excited that
40:13
Speaker 3: he had a bat in his hand.
40:14
Speaker 2: This is our guy. Let's roll with it. I had
40:17
Speaker 2: that same thought.
40:18
Speaker 1: Murph addressed the thinking behind that decision and the later decision.
40:24
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll hear from Murph. He did send that. Hunter
40:28
Speaker 1: sent that audio, right?
40:29
Speaker 2: We got to rank Pratt and Yellich from Hunter, and
40:31
Speaker 2: I'm sure I could find Murph here.
40:32
Speaker 1: Let me do something. Yeah, it was interesting to have Murph.
40:35
Speaker 1: But we'll hear from the players. Hunter's going to... Because
40:38
Speaker 1: he was in the locker room, not podium. Hunter was
40:40
Speaker 1: in the locker room. But yeah, we'll definitely find... We'll
40:43
Speaker 1: find it all for you. The people want to know
40:46
Speaker 1: what was said. If you're just waking up, yes, the
40:48
Speaker 1: Brewers did lose 4-3. The series is 2-1. Game 4
40:52
Speaker 1: is this evening. You are hanging out with us in
40:55
Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
