  Speaker 1: The distance between two and two and one and three
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: is huge. And the Brewers take two, including a game,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: an inning, a hit for the ages. We are going

  Speaker 1: to talk about it all today. And, you know, as

• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and you've got to savor it. This is one of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: those Mondays. This is one of those weekends, one of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: those circumstances, one of those victories that you will remember
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. The rest of your days,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you'll remember where you were when Jackson Turio got the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hit to vanquish Mason Miller and the Padres at American
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Family Field. We celebrate that. You're already in the upper crust.

• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We invite you to join another exclusive club as we
• 3:50

• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But all that is just a prelim because it's just
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it's just glorious. Let's just let's just celebrate. Keep the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: arm and keep the cool in the gang coming. Right, Billy?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Let's get more cool and his gang and the gang
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: throughout the entire day because you're right, Drew.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It is there is incredible.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: There are some days that you remember everything about how
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: it transpires. And I think yesterday's finish at American Family
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Field is going to be kind of one of those
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: that the camera panned over yesterday.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: As perfectly.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: And, you know, different things get you misty eyed at
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: different stages of your life. This whole run at different
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: points has felt a little emotional. Seemed like Christian Yelich.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Was getting almost a little emotional.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Yesterday with Tom Verducci, which was cool to see, but man,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: they panned over the camera just before the take on one, two,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: which is one of the most impressive things Jackson Cheerio
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: may have done in his three years as a Milwaukee brewer.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And that list is vast.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: They panned it over to a young lady, Drew. reaching
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: her arm over a mom and trying to cover her eyes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Dad is covering his eyes on his little son is
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: covering his eyes on his dad's shirt. And you think, man,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: those four are going to think about and talk about
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: this for the rest of their lives.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: As long as something good happens.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: And luckily, two pitches later, Jackson sent them home happier
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: than any could have imagined.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Memory burn. Memory burn.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: If you're lucky enough to have been in the ballpark.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you'll never forget it. This is one you'll never forget
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: where you were watching, who you were with, what it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: was like. If you were home alone, you're running around
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the house screaming. If you're with your friends, you're hugging.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: If you're on the street, you're high-fiving strangers. If you're
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in a bar, well, you're drinking and shots and hugs
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and love. It's spectacular. It was a singular game. In
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Brewers history, it's now in the Mount Rushmore of single
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Brewers games. I mean, People are mentioning the last walk-off.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: People forget Moustakas walked off the Cardinals? Rockies. Rockies. Out
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of vino. Out of vino, yeah. Because Jeffers blew the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: save on that one.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And it was the Niger-Morgan game. Not to bring it up.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: The Niger-Morgan game, arguably bigger because it won a series.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It was win or go home. I think so. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the building had liftoff that day, right? But this is, again,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's the counterbalance. As crushing as the Pete Alonzo game was,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This is more uplifting, and though it didn't end the series, well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it might. It's in good shape, though. You're on a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: path to, because now you've got to win one of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the next three. You guarantee to return home at worst
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for a game five on Friday. And I think you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: know how tough it's going to be in San Diego. Oh,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's going to be brutal. That's why I felt so big.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: But the momentum is real. I was just going to say.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You know, the Padres have to be like they had
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a ball hit the roof. We haven't even talked about yet,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: which would have been our lead story. I had a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: ball hit the roof and cost them a chance at
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: an electrifying Pete Alonzo like rug pull moment in game one.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And then now they've lost game two with their best
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: guy on the mound. And I've said this before and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: we all have our takes. And there were all those moments.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned, Billy, the take being huge. Everything mattered
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in that inning and everything was huge from Yelich, the captain.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: getting on base, and stealing second. That's a Dave Robert
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: steal of second, putting more pressure on, you know, moving
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the tying run to second, and then Freelick working the walk,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and everything that happened in that inning. When Andrew Vaughn
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was at the plate as a pinch hitter, I said
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to my wife, I don't think the Brewers are going
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to beat this guy. I don't think they're going to win.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But if they do, mark it down. They're going to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: win the World Series if they win this game. It
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: feels like it, dude. That's what I said. If they
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: win this game in this circumstance, they're going to win
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the World Series. Now, there's so many layers to this, too.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I just was chatting via text with a friend of mine.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Talked to text during the drive-in today. I like that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Safe play. Yeah, safe play. Arrive alive. That's what I'm
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Big moment.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's important. I know a lot of folks are like, hey,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the Braves beat the Dodgers, and now that series is going,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and the Braves have some juice going into their home park,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people would be cheering for that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Champions for you, no one. I'm almost to the point
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: where I'd rather play the Dodgers. Yeah, I want to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: finish them off. Going through San Diego, L.A., and then whoever,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like maybe New York, would be incredible, and it'd be validating.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you play at this point. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Brewers are a wagon. They've found a way, again, to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: beat the odds. The Gary Sanchez walk. Oh, my God.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: The Gary Sanchez. Thought the game was over when he
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: was up, and it's like every time you thought that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: game was over, it wasn't. That's scary.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Well, and they even had multiple times where my second
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: guessing on the couch ended up being wrong because they
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: bring in Vaughn in the ninth inning.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just howling as Yelich walks up in the seventh.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: As I imagine, there were many people wondering when Andrew
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Vaughn was going to get his rep earlier against King.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: It made a lot more sense that Yelich was the
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: starter yesterday. People were thinking Vaughn should have started. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: in the seventh, I'm just flabbergasted as to why you're
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: not going to Vaughn against the lefty.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I thought about that as well. But then in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: back of my mind, I'm like, he's saving him for Miller.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Cause if you need one swing, you need one swing
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to catch that fastball. So I was like, that's what
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: And he had a chance at it, too. I mean,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: like the one that Vaughn pops up, you can tell
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: he knows he had a pitch to hit. Just couldn't
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: couldn't figure it out. But Yelich in the first two
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: games of the series has broken up a pair of
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: no hitters. Granted, early on.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: But you had nothing going on in game one before
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: his base hit. You were getting perfected through four innings
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: yesterday before his double that doesn't amount to any runs,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: but at least gets the action rolling in an inning.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: And then you're right, the Sanchez walk up 2-0 to
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: a 2-2 count and hold off on those two sliders
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: that were inside. It felt like the only way Miller
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: was going to get out of the inning is if
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: he was going to be able to throw enough darts
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: into the board.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And it woke up in there. just in time.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: It's a really liven up because the first two batters
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: of the inning as Garrett Mitchell grounds out and Christian
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Yelich is working the walk, man. It did feel like
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: a sad depressed group that wanted to get excited. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: then luckily Miller had to just throw enough pitches to
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: where he had a chance to actually.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: You in the back of your mind you know mason
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: miller looked pretty dominant early on in the back of
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: your mind you were hoping that there was somehow some
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: way you could get to him maybe the fact that
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: he was going two innings for a six out save
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: for the first time like only once he had done
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: that i think you're hoping somehow the uncharted territory might
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: make him feel uncomfortable and then you just needed that
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: sliver of hope and it was the walk it was
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: yellow twerk in the walk to get on base getting
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: the second then it was free like and it was
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: amazing it's like you know what Maybe we can't string
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: four hits against this guy, but we're going to find
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: a way to make the one hit worth it. We're
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: going to find a way to get on base. It
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: was such a Brewer-like thing to do. It was such
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: a Brewer rally. And as big as Jackson Turio's moment was,
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: and it's a moment that will live in infamy, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: an incredible at-bat, and you could tell he said, I
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: believe I.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Can hit this guy's best pitch, and he did.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: It was, you guys mentioned it, it was the patience
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: of Gary Sanchez getting the walk. It's not always been
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: his thing, right? But him taking that walk was so huge.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: And the way, you know, Mason Miller and I know A.J.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Brzezinski was talking about it and Wainwright didn't put the
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: slatters where he wanted to, but he did put them
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: all for strikes, which made it very, very difficult to
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: hit against him. And then just their ability to lay off,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: put themselves at least in a situation to give themselves
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: a chance with their best hitter at the time. It
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: just an incredible Brewers like thing to do. Well, it
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: made it remarkable. It was such a flawed game by
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: the Brewers, especially defensively, right? The mistakes they made opportunities lost,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: but they never gave up hope thinking they could win
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: the game.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And that's one thing that they've been doing all year.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And they did it again in game two, the hidden
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: moments in the game. Everything matters, right? But the, the early, uh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it, Billy, the, the hit by Yelich and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: then the, the base hit by, uh, Freelick, the RBI.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: The RBI Freelick was, was, Absolutely huge. You had the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: pressure and the speed that Hamilton had, that Hamilton shows, right? Absolutely.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And the catch was at 99%. The back-to-back botched double
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: plays by the Brewers infield, which is completely rare. And when,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I think it was A.J. Pruszynski said, you know, the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Padres are out-brewering the Brewers. And like, kind of. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: then Cronenworth, who's got a great glove, gold glove caliber guy,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: makes an error. It's like, ooh.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he robbed you the night before with a
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: sick play through the middle. And we've talked about your
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: best players having to be their best versions of themselves.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: You got three of the four, right? I mean, Contreras
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: with the big home run in game one. I think
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Yelich has played very well. And obviously, Churio does what
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: he does. Bryce Durang, mayor of Slum City, waiting for it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: But at least you got other guys being able to
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: pick you up with a 2-0 lead. And I mean, oh,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: by the way, yesterday was just so good. You forget
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: you now have won a game in the series where
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: you committed three errors.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Incredible.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: And you won a Miz game where he goes four
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: innings on 88 pitches and leaves trailing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, those are.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Games that, generally speaking, going into the playoffs, you think
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: you lose. They win both to start it out, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: that's an impressive, impressive way to build from.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I was also considering this, that that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was an epic game and had, you know, Sanchez struck
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: out and you, yeah, that would have sucked. And a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: cheerio not come through. It would have sucked, but it
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: was like, uh, years ago it was like, well, at
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: least it would have been the moral victory of having
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: an inning and coming close and giving them a run
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: for their money. Now the birds broke through and no
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: moral victory. Damn game. And that's the change. And that's,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that's where you buck up against the 90% because 90%
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of the time, Mason Miller, you lose. The flip side
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: of this is how do the Padres get off the deck? Well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: they're going to have their, that, that unbelievable crowd and atmosphere.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: They're going to be ready. And then as you take
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: your chances, it'd be great if the Brewers could put
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: up a three spot in the first inning. Yeah. Tuesday night,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but they're going to be ready and they have to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: get off the deck. But one of the things I,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: another thing I kept back coming back to, and Billy,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you meant like, when do you use Vaughn and you're,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you're managing along with these games and everything's condensed, everything's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: amplified and, You know, could Logan Henderson have gone another inning? Sure, maybe. Like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: was he as sharp as normal? Eh, was Miz. But
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: when managers, and I see this happen every year in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the postseason, when managers ask guys to do things that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: they don't during 162, it very often blows up. Mason
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Miller isn't a two-inning guy. Yep. Hasn't been a two-inning guy.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Nor was Maury Hone on Saturday night.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And so you're asking the guy who gets the three
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: outs and is the best in the business at it, oh,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: get a six. Go up and down. And he's not
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: used to traversing when he's into 30, 35, 40 pitches.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And that area, you lose some sharpness. And it's just, yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he's the best. Oh, you want to get out there
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: with your best guy, right? Well, you're using him in
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a way that you haven't all year. And it happens
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: all the time in the postseason. And I thought about
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that because what happened with the Brewers, it was a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: similar variation of that in game one where everything was
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: off because they didn't get that extra inning out of
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Miz to get to the fifth. And you got a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Uribe earlier. Now it made sense because the situation was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: that Uribe had to come in to face that top
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to face the main guys. Well, everything was moved up
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: an inning, and then you were exposed, and it's like
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you're out of your normal blueprint that you used to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: win 103 games.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: And that's why everybody is D.L. Hall trots out for
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: the eighth inning out of the tugout. You're like, wait
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: a second.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Wait, what? Oh, OK. Yeah, sure. I guess it's an
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: inning and two thirds that you're going to get out
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: of him for sure. But that's why you're right. You're
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: going to trust the guys you had. You trust the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: guys you have. And the Brewers like win our way. No,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: find a way. And they did the slogan they found
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like that one. And they definitely did the first two games.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, the margins are so thin. You think about
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: how the thing going to switch. It could be. And OK,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: so Trevor McGill had that, you know, that sweat inducing
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: moment of the ball that hit the roof. Right.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: But buried in this is like his clean inning in
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the top of the ninth.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Because he gives up your eBay, gave up a run,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: which was looming large and made things difficult. But Trevor
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: McGill had the clean inning, and it's like you forget
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: about everything matters in that game. Everything that happened matters.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: If McGill doesn't go nine pitches, seven strikes, three up
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: and three down, who knows if you have a chance
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: to do what you do in the bottom of the ninth.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: And also, that is something that's very much different than
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: how they normally will operate. He's only going into the
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: game with a lead or in a tie game, and
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: instead we've got to save ourselves and keep ourselves close.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: I thought about it, Drew, exactly how you mentioned it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: And It's just fascinating. Craig Stammen, obviously a former reliever, right?
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Long time, big, big league reliever. First year as a manager,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: 91 wins the first year as a manager. That's an
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: impressive run. But there is that thought of you'll learn
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: in different times. He's a guy that would pitch out
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: of the bullpen. You know how stressful and difficult that is.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: You were in the building though on Saturday night, correct?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed. All right, Mr. Statcast.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: What did you read on the railing heard around the
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: world or the wire catch? The hand of Yuke that
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: gave us the save in game number one.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: The physicists are fighting about this. I'm convinced it hit
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a truss, not a wire. That's an important difference up there.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: It hit a beam. It hit a beam. I don't
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: think it hit a... The physicists are... It didn't nick
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a wire. I thought it hit a truss.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Do you trust all the math? You're convinced it wouldn't
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: have gone out. Yeah, the Statcast thing. Here's the thing, like,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Would it have gone foul?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You watch the batter's reaction, right? And
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: he stood at home plate like, if you think you
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: got it and you think you hit one 380, you know.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: He wasn't sure. Contreras, he knew when he hit the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: home run in game one. He like pimped it and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: knew it. You can see Tatis thought he had one.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: He was like, that was like a Carlton Fisk type.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I hit it and it was going to be like,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: stay fair, stay fair, stay fair. So it had that
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: hook on it. And the stat casters and the people
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: who found the math nerds and like, I don't know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I I talked to one of the Brewers video guys,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and he said, we have a camera, and he said
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it hit a truss, and he said, and it was
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: still on the ascent.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, where would it have gone? He's like, ex-golf.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That thing was tanked. Interesting. He said, yeah, and they
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: thought it was still going up.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: So it outdoes the physics, though. And immediately a math
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: nerd said it was only a home run in Houston.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I'm like.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: That looked like a home run to me, man. That
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: looked like a home run in any ballpark I've ever seen.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It hit the freaking roof and came down and Churio
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: caught it at 325 feet. You're telling me it wouldn't
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: have gone another 20 feet? Right, it's hard to believe.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I agree with you guys. I think it would have
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: been a home run. Fair or foul, I'm not sure
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: because I don't know about the hook. And I don't
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: know about the way the ball was spinning. But he
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to watch where it was going to land. He
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: knew he had gotten it. Yeah, he wasn't running like
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it was going to be a double.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Mm-mm.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: No.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: It's hard to know for me unless you were there
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: live with a great angle.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm in the second row of the press box.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Because they said the launch angle guys insist it was
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: impossible to get out.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it seems impossible. I wouldn't have gotten out.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I saw somebody put in like the 20 hits with
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that launch angle and that exit velocity. And there were
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: some home runs in there.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah i don't yeah i think if it's tucked in
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: the corner of the wall they said plug it into
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: ai well ai can't you can't trust that wire.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And how many of those previous uh instances happened you
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: know in a ballpark where the wind's blowing in 10
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: miles an hour.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: That's true there are no idea of 41 000 the
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: place live as it was i mean that the ball
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: travels a little bit yeah i i.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Am i think it would have been a home run
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: i'm stunned like i was amazed that that trio caught
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it like he did well i was a great as
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: cleanly as he did. It's okay. It's right off that beam.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I got you. We were racking our brains of the game.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: It was what an Oh eight, like the Philly game.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: And Jason Wirth hit it, and it looked like it
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: was going to be a decent fly ball to left field,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and Council caught it in the infield.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Because it came back. It came back and ricocheted that way.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: People brought up Prince. His inside the parker, though, was
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: in the Metrodome.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: That was in the Met.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, he had another one at Miller Park, but
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: it wasn't that situation. But did Adam Amin and company
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: scare people on the TV broadcast? Because immediately they thought
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: it was a Tropicana situation.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to get into that. Yeah, because I was wondering
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: about that, too. I was wondering, were they, because when
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I heard the replay, I was like, Were they saying
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that it would have been a tying home run? Cause
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: it's like that would have, or were they saying that's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a tying home run? Like the umpires are meeting going
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to give the guy a home run. Like it was
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: hard to me. It was like really hard to differentiate. Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they know which one they were discussing. Exactly.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: So we got all this glory. We got a day
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: off to catch our breath. And then the brewers will
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: try to close out the Padres on Tuesday night, late night.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: So Hunter Baumgart's going to join us next on his
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: way to the airport. He's going to San Diego boots
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: on the ground. I don't think Hunter actually slept last
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: night because he had to wake up early for a flight,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and he had to. He gets a lot of audio, too.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: He's on cloud 11. We've got a lot of stuff
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to spin through. Hunter's going to join us next as
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he heads to the airport. We're glad you're hanging out
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: with us. Hit us up, 877-794-1973, nicolaylaw.com, talk and text line.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Today is a day for the ages, and we have
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an announcement of some major significance coming up at 7 a.m.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: on the program today. You are in the huddle Fox
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: sports radio, Wisconsin. That's Christian. Yo, it's bringing us back.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Brewers prevail. Packers prevail. Badgers prevail. Oh, it's a 10% day.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: We're one 10th of 1% for the Brewers game yesterday.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Huddle drew Billy and Armin. We're having a blast here.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Billy's chair dancing his ass off.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: You cannot play get down on it and not get
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: a little bit of that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Get your back up on the wall.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: How are you going to really do it if you
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: really don't want to dance? You know, in the USA, 95%
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: of sports fans being kicked to the nuts.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: 90, 95%. Today, we get to hold them. That's the 5%. No,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: today's 10%-er. 10% is glorious, you know? In Armin's world,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it's even more shrunk, Drew. I know the saying is 90-10.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Armin's like, listen, in my paranoid-ass world, everything is even
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: worse than that. But luckily, you get to celebrate it
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: and enjoy it today. I mean, I don't think I'm
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: that always paranoid, but yes. I mean, this is a
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: nervous day.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: No, you're just vigilant. You're always staying vigilant, which is
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: why we love you. I never gave up on that game, though.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I kept saying, hey, we can get a knock.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Listen, I'm glad you didn't, because I'll tell you, your
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: boy walked out after Jackson had the bases juiced in
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: the seventh, knowing that Miller was coming in in the eighth.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: And then it was three up, three down in the eighth.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: And I'll tell you, that felt like curtains. I thought, yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: at least track bomb was our best chance. And I
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, no, that might have been the one.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Because I was like, that could be his moment. You
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: guys know I've been looking for his moments.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: A lot. And I was like, this is it. You know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: he's to the wall. And it's like, man, that was close.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: That could have been it. So that's the one I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: kind of thought, all right, maybe that was our chance.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: But credit to the boys that didn't give up. Aaron
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Ashby's getting out of that mess was huge. We didn't
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: mention that. I thought that was as big as any
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: of the other moments. Aaron Ashby, after the bunk debacle, 2-1,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: nobody out. Him getting out of that jam was as
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: huge as anything else. Padres put a run across there.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: It's probably over.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Like we said, it's all connected. Everything's connected. Everything that happened.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: So.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: 877-794-1973. So the Badgers win big. That was kind of expected.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Michigan State, not great. Not great, Bob.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: But listen, for the Badgers to be able to run
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: away and hide from somebody, that is not going to
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: get overlooked. To be able to just do what you
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: wanted to be expected to do, holy cow, Drew. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: it was, you know, I took in most of the
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: second half from the field on Saturday, and it could
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: not have been a better atmosphere inside of Camp Randall
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: for the 67,001 that made it inside of Camp Randall
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: for a homecoming. Because it was glorious team, did badger
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: football things, 220 yards on the ground, 40 plus totes,
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: over five a carry.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: And Drew, they got this guy, Jacob Harris. Pretty good. Yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: he might play on Sunday. Two catches, two touchdowns.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Lineage, his dad was a Bowling Green Hall of Famer,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: NFL quarterback, Josh Harris.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Hell of an athlete. A really, really good athlete. He
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: was ahead of his time. He was. His dad was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: ahead of his time.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: He was one of the first guys in NCAA with
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: the 40-40 club, 40 rushing, 40 passing touchdowns.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: He had a skill set that they would have maximized
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: in the NFL a little bit. After big time. Yeah.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: And he was ahead of his time. And his dad
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: is a, is a really cool follow on Twitter. So
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: it was, it was a really fun day to be
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: able to just watch them do what.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: You wanted and expected them to do.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: And also in that sweet old school, Bucky, listen, Lance
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Allen and I on Badger post game talked about it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: We appreciate shout out Pat Richter and Barry Alvarez. They
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: shouted out and had them on the field.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: They're very cool. Pat Richter. Holy cow.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: You want to start realizing that there's differences in human
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: beings on earth. You might be a great human being.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Never live into what Pat Richter's athletic life is that
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: he lived, by the way. And that was cool to
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: be able to see him celebrate it. Love the motion W,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: but that old school block W with the bucky in
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: the middle is sublime. So I loved every bit of
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Saturday and led right into a phenomenal one for Saturday night.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, baby, what a weekend it was. And again, a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: signature moment. Jackson Trujillo, he's given us a few. The
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: dude is 22, and he's going to be here for
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a long time. 22 years old. I mean, he's reaching
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the point where there are going to be pets and
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: children named after him now.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: There's a number of Jack Jacks already in the children's ward,
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: and he did make Drew somewhere on the top headlines
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: on ESPN this morning. Petrillo adds to, as they say,
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: burgeoning Brewers legend. Yeah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Already their franchise leader in playoff home runs. This is
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the anal sports writer and wordsmith, the linguist in me.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm watching the panel and like. Can we stop
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: referring to him as a budding star? He's budded.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: He's sprouted full bloom. He's a full on star. Cause
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: he's like not old enough yet to call him a star.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But a budding star. He's a freaking star. Ask anybody
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in baseball, anybody who watches him, he's bloomed. He's a star.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It's just a matter of how, to me, it's like, yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: he's a star. He will be an all-star. He's about
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to be on the cusp of it. But the question
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to me is, what's his ceiling like? Is it just
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: multiple time All-Star or Hall of Famer?
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: That's the question.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm looking at with his trajectory right now.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Is it Walk of Fame or is he the next
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: number to be up on the facade?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I like that. It's like, yeah. I mean, after yesterday,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: he could build a statue for that moment. They could
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: do it right there. He's already Hall of Honor, Walk
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of Fame. I agree with that. A budding star? Yeah,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: he's not a budding star. He's already budded. Let's go.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, Hunter Baumgart is going
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to join us on his way to the airport to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: cover this action. He's going to go watch a workout today.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be hot in San Diego, unseasonably so,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: for that beautiful city where most people extol the best
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: climate in the U.S., where it's like a good hoodie
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: will get you through the winter. Say 80 every day.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: If you're a cheeser. It's like they got the marine layer.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: They get everything. You can wear a jacket and pants
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: at night. It's not oppressive like Phoenix, but it's nice.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And you can smoke. And you got to see air
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: out there. You got to see air. But it's going
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to be in the 90s. It was 103 on the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: field at Dodger Stadium. I was hot there last night.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Listen, I actually gave them and their fans a break
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: for not going to that game on Saturday because you
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: wouldn't have caught me dead in that upper level.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: People who were ripping that, they're like, what's going on?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Nobody cares there. What kind of crappy fans are those?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: That upper deck, you might as well be on the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: surface of the sun if you're sitting in the right
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: field stands at Dodger Stadium in that upper deck. Also,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: an LDS for Dodger fans is like, you know. Yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: that's true. Come on. But still, it was. But they
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: sell out every game. I know. They sell tickets. It's also.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: But it is L.A.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Like, if it's a tick over 90, it's going to
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: be hard for them to get out of that. It's
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: going to be perfect. Or we're not doing anything. That's
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: the USC folks. But it is.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: That was incredible, though. To sit there, you'd. Oh, my God.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: You'd be melting. All right. When we come back, Hunter's
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: going to join us on his way to the airport
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to cover the brew crew. We got boots on the ground, baby.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Major announcement. Well, announcement of some significance. You decide if
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it's major coming up at 7 a.m. You are in
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. It's the huddle. Fox
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. I heart radio.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I'm streaming live Facebook X and YouTube. Drew, Billy and Armin.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And we are joined by our baseball guy. I don't
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: know that he slept at all. I think he's also
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a guy who gets to the airport really early, but
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: he's joining us on his way to Mitchell International. where
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: he's headed to San Diego for Brewers Padres game 300.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Baumgart is with us. Good morning, Hunter. Thanks for thanks
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for calling.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Good morning. Yes. Some of your guessing is correct there. One,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I did not get a lot of sleep last night,
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: both because how do you go to sleep after that?
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: And then also the second part to that is I
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: usually do get to the airport early. You know, we're
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: we're I'm not cutting it super close, but maybe a
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: little closer than usual today just because I wanted to
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: get a little extra shut-eye before boarding the plane. But
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: we'll still make it. We'll still be on the way
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: to San Diego today.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I love it. You're so prepared. You're good. You're so organized.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: It's Milwaukee in the morning, and you're going to be fine.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. Billy was looking at me laughing because he
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: thought I was going to be nervous for you that
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you weren't getting there in time. No, because you said, okay,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: that's okay. That's good.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: An approving parent allowing him and being okay with his
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: choice of getting there an hour and a half early.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: We'll be okay. We'll be good. I think you're on
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the flight with Rosiak and Hogue, perhaps, and the boys, too.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So you're in good hands there. All right, Hunter, your thoughts,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: because you weren't in the ballpark. You were still probably in, what,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: seventh grade? when Niger Morgan tickled a base hit to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: win a series and score Carlos Gomez in the 2011 run.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: What was that like for you to be there yesterday?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember actually I was announcing that game five
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: into my tape recorder as like a 14-year-old because that's
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: the type of childhood that Hunter lived.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's my guy. That's amazing, Hunter. I love that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: That tape is somewhere, buried somewhere. I hope to find
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: it someday. So that was the Nigel Morgan one. Yesterday
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: was just the build of the inning, I think, is,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: you know, obviously the Jackson Shurio moment is something you'll
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: never forget. Like you guys were talking about earlier, you
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: won't forget where you were. But just the amount of
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: buildup and the dramatic way in which that inning unfolded.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: And really, when Mason Miller is coming in with six
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: outs to get, and the Brewers are down one, and
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: you're thinking, man, now it's going to be tough. Mason
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Miller is really good. Then I went to his September stats,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: and I went, oh, Arizona put up three against him. Oh,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: he gave up one that did that outing before. Okay,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: he's great. We all know that. We know he throws
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: as hard as anybody, but he's also a little bit gettable.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: I was like, okay, so maybe they got a shot,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: but then they went one through three in the eighth,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, okay, I don't know. Then they had, obviously,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: the bottom of the order coming up, and then... As
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: that inning's unfolding and Freelake goes 0-2 to walk, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: then you get, of course, Vaughn flies out, and then,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: as you guys have mentioned, the Gary Sanchez at-bat might
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: have been the at-bat other than Churio of the inning
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: and being able to work a walk there. And as
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Gary's up, you know, I'm just saying to people around me, like,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: just get Churio to the plate. You just got to
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: get Churio to the plate, and you're going to feel
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: like you have at least a chance. And when that
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: guy steps up, it is starting to feel Giannis-like. It's
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: starting to feel Aaron Rodgers-like. It's starting to feel that
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: when that guy is in a big moment, it's hard
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: to feel that he's not going to come through. And
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: that was just, I don't know if I've ever heard
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: a stadium that loud when that ball snuck through and
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Freeland came home and Yelich basically tried to tackle him.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Yelich said after the game, I tried to tackle the
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Massachusetts Gatorade football player of the year and it didn't
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: go so well. And then we went out and celebrated
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: with the players. So what a moment that American family feels.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like a read option play that Sal
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: did pretty well there for those guys. When you also
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: see Contreras on the ground doing the worm, another good one,
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: as he's trying to get him to slide. But what
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: about Yelich, Hunter? Both of the two days, you're getting
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: no hit when he ends up cracking through first. Yesterday,
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: there was nothing going against King. He had just gone
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: seven innings in their wild card round and was sublime.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: To get something started and then the steal in the ninth,
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: you know, score the run in the fifth feels like
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: a heck of a catalyst in the middle of the
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: lineup he turned into.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: These two games.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Totally. And, you know, you kind of, As I mentioned there,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: you know, you feel the way Jackson Churio, when Jackson
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Churio comes to the plate, you feel like maybe you
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: did with a Giannis or a Rodgers. And you also
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: feel the way you did like Yelly back in 18.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: And sometimes you get that feeling. Like when he was
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: on first, I was like, he's going to go here
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: and he's going to get there because he's like one
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: of those players that just, he can just make things
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: happen and he still can do that. And that's what
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: that stolen base signified to me was like, he can
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: just put his head down and get something done or
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: like that. Like you said, breaking up the no hitter
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: both days. Like he is just the guy who he
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: like can just come through like that. And when Pat
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Murphy was asked, why is Yelly in the lineup on
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Saturday instead of Vaughn? He was like, because that's pretty self-explanatory.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Yelly is who he is. His career speaks for itself.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: And Murphy has the ultimate trust in him. And, and,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: And he's come through the last couple of days. Is
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: he still looking for that first postseason RBI since 18? Yes.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: But he's also coming through in other ways and helping
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: this team and obviously storing a big run yesterday. So
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: that was obviously a huge at-bat, just a professional at-bat
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: to start that rally and get on base, get the
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: stolen base. And speaking of Pat Murphy, one other thing
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: is that we asked Pat Murphy before the game, Why
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: do you like Jackson Churio in the leadoff spot against
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: the righty in Michael King today? He said, because I
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: want Churio at the plate as many times as I can.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: And guess who came up in the ninth inning, you know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: with two outs. Pat Murphy. I mean, you credit all the,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: obviously the players are doing the work. Pat Murphy's pushing
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: so many right buttons right now.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. And yeah, don't overlook the, well, great or
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: bad by Yelich, but the stolen base on what was
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: basically a pitch out from a guy who throws a hundred.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: That was, you know, the degree of difficulty there was
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: pretty high and he, you know, made it, he got
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in comfortably and, But damn that, because then, you know,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: a little flare hit by Freelick ties the game. Then that,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: then that put pressure on Miller too. So that's not a,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: a small thing.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly it. Cause nobody's really better than those
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: small players in South Freelick. Like that's what we're, you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: kind of talking about in the press box is like,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: If you want a guy to hit a flare to
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: score Yellich, I mean, that's one of the guys who
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: can really do that well. It didn't happen, of course,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: that he gets the walk and the inning goes from there.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: And that goes, again, like you said, the degree of
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: difficulty on that steal is incredible, but he was still
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: able to do it and just put his head down
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: and get that done. And that's the type of player
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: that You know, that's why Murphy trusts him. That's why
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: he's the captain. That's because he's just going to lead
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: by example there. Sal Frelick talking after the game about
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: how he was, you know, Murphy credited Sal Frelick with
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: how Frelick cut third base on scoring on Churio. And
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Freelick was like, yeah, that's stuff we work on in
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: spring training. That's stuff that's hammered home in this organization.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: He said that stuff that Yelich says basically, you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: you either do that or you're not going to play.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: And they just follow Yelich's lead. And when you see
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Yelich go and steal second base on a pitch like that,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: how can't you be inspired to go and follow that lead?
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: We're chatting with Hunter Baumgart, our baseball go-to guy here
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: on the program. Hunter's appearances on our program are brought
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to us by Was that brought to us by Hunter? Import-minded. Well,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: import-minded and community roofing as well. Community roofing, your trusted
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: source for roofing. All right, so there are parallels. There's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: a parallel in one way to what happened last year
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: for the Eeyores out there. Last year in the division series,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the Brewers beat the Cubs at home and left Milwaukee
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: with a 2-0 lead, but they had won 9-3 and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: 7-3 before they went into the cauldron that was Wrigley Field.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't remember much about that circumstance because everything's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: usurped by the game five win, but they were supremely confident.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Like let's go, go end this. And it didn't happen.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: What has to happen for that to change under what
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: has to happen for the Brewers to not have to
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: have to come back for a game five? What, what
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: do they have to do to win game three behind
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Dustin May?
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Last year really did seem like the atmosphere got
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: to them at Wrigley field. It was a kind of,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: you know, you don't love to say this, but a
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: credit to what the Cubs fans did and making that
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: an atmosphere. And it seemed that, you know, some of
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: the younger guys were a little overmatched, but this year
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: they have another year under their belt. They have, I mean,
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: for a lot of those guys on that team last year,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: that was the first road playoff game, right? They hadn't
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: played a road playoff game since 2021. So you think
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: about all the turnover since then, that was the first
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: experience there. So not only do you have that going
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: into San Diego this year, but you also have a
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: guy on the mountain, Dustin May, who's been there, done that,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: and is used to pitching at Petco Park, maybe in
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: some Rockets atmospheres, is used to pitching in the postseason.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: As much as May has maybe struggled, obviously, down the stretch,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: I don't mind this decision to go with him in
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: game three. We saw Priester kind of lose it last year.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Now he also was dealing with the wrist thing at
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: the time, but they went with a younger pitcher and
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: it didn't work out quite well. So I think that
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: helps you in this instance. But the biggest thing to
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: me for this entire series and really this entire playoff
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: run If the Brewers play as fundamentally sound as they
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: did for 162 games, I think they'll win pretty much
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: any series. It's just the game like yesterday, which it's
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: incredible that they came back and won it, but this
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: is not the Brewers team we had seen for 162.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: And I think that's the way the Brewers lose, is
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: if they're making errors, they're not covering first base on
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: a bun, they're not doing the fundamental things that they're
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: so good at doing and what made them good for 162.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: you know, the regular season winning 103 games. So I
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: think that's the key is just simply don't beat yourself
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: because you can beat anybody. I truly, I think the
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: birds can beat anybody this year with the way tops
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: of the bottom and the lineup, the bullpen, the starters,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: like the combination, what Pat Murphy's doing. I think they're
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: on a complete role. Obviously they've won seven games in
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: a row now. So like they're, they're, they're on a roll.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: They just need to play their game, not make it
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: bigger than it is. And I think we've seen a
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: little bit of kind of, I don't know if it's
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: pressing on the defense. There's just some different things that
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: they're doing in these last two games that have been like, okay,
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: don't do too much here. Just be fundamentally sound. I
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: think that's the key.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Hunter, on the way out here. Um, we
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: got to talk about what happened in game one, because
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: in this LDS format, in all formats in best of
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: five series in baseball, you win game one, you're 73%
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: chance to win the series.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. And if you win game one in this current
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: format on the LDS, uh, is 75%. Oh, that's even better.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: So game one with an assist from the roof, the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: hand of Euchre. Thank God. That game set the tone
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: for what is to come, I think. And obviously, the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Brewers won game one again last year, too. So, Hunter,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about game one. Give us, in 30 seconds,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about the roof game.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were all talking yesterday at lunch about, like,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: was that one of the top breaks in Wisconsin sports
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: history in the playoffs? It feels like we don't get
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: a ton of those sometimes. And I think it has
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: to be up there. Who knows if that would have
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: been a home run? Who knows if it would have
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: been a foul?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: But we all know that that was clear. You know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: at least it maybe wasn't going to be. So that
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: was kind of the discussion yesterday.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Hunter, thank you for joining us, man. We
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: appreciate it.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely. We'll talk to you guys from San Diego.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: All right. Can't wait. Hunter Baumgart. We're going to hear
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: some of his audio that he collected. As we move forward,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: it's a glorious Victory Monday. You are in the huddle.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
