Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow. It is a final from American Family Field and
the results are not good as the Brewers fall in
Game one of the twenty five NLCS to the Dodgers
two to one. Final. Welcome in Everybody postgame show with
Pottawatomy's sportsbook bet above the rest, Tim Allen, there's the
Polish pipe bomb, jeff Orlowski and just a little too little,

(00:25):
a little too late and one hit? Can you give
me one? Just give me one hit, now, just give
me one hit. Someone find a gap and you were
gonna steal this thing. The futility of this game against
Blake Snell, that was maddening. It was, but it wasn't surprising.
After about the first I don't know seven or ten hitters,

(00:46):
dude was on. You ran into a buzzsaw. And I
hate to say this, but there really wasn't much any
team could have done against a dude that was on
like tonight. I mean, pipe bomb, he was on. Everything
was catching plate, everything well, especially the break and stuff,

(01:11):
slider curve and especially the changeup. It just it was
I mean, I haven't seen that kind of performance in
the playoffs in a long time from a starting pitcher.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, that was just absolute pinpoint control all game long,
from the first all the way through, and it's just disappointing.
You know, Like I was hoping that with that huge win,
going yard three times in Game five and all that,
that the Brewers would be able to sit there and roll,

(01:47):
have their offense roll into this series and get a
lot done. And man, after game one, it sure doesn't
look like it.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
But like you said, he was, he was so on
no one was gonna hit.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Him, and you never really. I mean, my goal in
terms of analysis on this was that, hey, you have
to ride out and stay in the game against the
Dodgers starting rotation. Well they did that. I mean, they
really did a nice job of doing that. The pitching
staff did a fabulous job tonight. Look at that lineup

(02:21):
over there. They scored two runs. They kept him in check. Now,
the backbreaker, you didn't really know it at the time,
but the backbreaker was the ninth inning runoff you rebay.
I'd still like to know who, on a full count
called that slider to Mookie Betts, which turned out to

(02:42):
be the difference in the game. He falls behind Bets
with the bases loaded three to zero, works his way
back into the count to get it three to two
by utilizing fastballs and challenge fastballs, and then on three
to two you go ahead and throw a slider. There
was no weight bets if he detected any wiggle on

(03:04):
that pitch whatsoever, there's no chance he was swinging at it,
and you paid the price. I don't know if that's
contraras or you know, it might have been your Rebay.
I'm not sure, but a three to two, full count,
ninth inning, bases loaded slider probably not a good idea,
especially when the dude just loaded the bases. You could

(03:25):
tell he wasn't on He was no Blake Snell in
the ninth inning. I'm talking about you, Rebay. So you
had to challenge there, You had to gamble a little bit.
Little things like that. Now again, bigger picture, Blake Snell,
eight shutout innings on one hit and ten punch outs,
doesn't get much better than that. It was just you

(03:46):
ran into a buzzsaw, you did. And you know it's
not very often, Jeff, that you and I will say, well,
gotta kind of tip your hat to the other guy
on this one. We don't say that very much. No
on this show. No, but tonight I think it's appropriate.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh yeah, it's more than appropriate.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Man, Snow was amazing tonight and that sucks. But you know,
at the end of the day, man with as well
as he pitched to sit there and you know have
the the winning run and scoring position at the end,
and you know you were a Bryce terrain jump out

(04:27):
of the way from an HBP from tying this game.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Bryce, let it hits you, buddy.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, come on, man, come on, Caleb. Durban's been hit
eleventy nine million times this season.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
You could have taken one.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Geez, wow, it was close. But there's another game tomorrow.
You take that game. You get out of here one
one and you had to la again. There's been some changes.
You're probably well aware if you're within the sound of
our voice right now. iHeartRadio. App maybe not, but in

(05:02):
terms of on Fox Sports nine twenty here tonight, there's
been some changes in the Milwaukee market. On ninety seven
to three, the Game That is no longer going to
be broadcasting sports in Milwaukee's metro. However, the Game Network
is going to stay intact for now into Madison, portions

(05:24):
of the day, into Lacrosse, into Eau Claire, and a
couple of others. So those of you are used to hearing,
you know, no Bs in the morning and are programming
throughout Doug and Nick through the midday and Drew and KB,
you'd be hearing portions of that on the iHeartRadio app,
so you can you can still stay in tune. We

(05:46):
fortunately are going to ride out this Brewer season here
on Fox Sports nine twenty. And I'm not quite frankly pipe,
but I'm grateful we get to stay with the fans.
I really am. And that's the first thing I thought of,
what are we going to do about our audience here
of postgamers.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, I agree, you know, we're very lucky that we
are going to be granted this outlet here to stay
in touch with you guys throughout this Brewer's Magic Carpet ride.
The sad thing is is that there's no text line here,
so it's basically calls or or nothing. Yes, so we
apologize for that, but yeah, it was a rough day

(06:30):
around the iHeart megaplex today.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
It was. And again, if you want to tell your
friends that are Brewers fans, if you want to drop
them a text or post things on their Facebook page
or somehow get in touch with them do so and
say that the postgame show lives on till the end
of the twenty five championship season, and then we may
we may be allowed a special dispensation here on Fox

(06:58):
Sports nine twenty to broadcast live during the parade on
Wisconsin Avenue. Okay, so they don't know it yet, but
I'm gonna make him do it. There you go, Seriously,
wouldn't you think that'd be appropriate?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Are you sure you'd want to broadcast live from there
and not just being a Miller high life heaven?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Well, i'd have Well, yeah, I do both. What's the difference?
Where am I going? I don't have a show the
next day?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Right? You know?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
So different phone number here as well. I want to
get your reaction here. Two to one. That close. It's
little things. It's little things that I wanted to gripe
about tonight. For example, this is just I didn't keep
a scorecard. I didn't keep a tally on this. But

(07:55):
it appeared to me this is just no observation. Following
the game, acing notes, it appeared to me that most
Dodgers hitters used their timeouts in the batter's box. It
appeared to me that hardly any did for the Brewers. Now,
I don't have any metrics to back that up. It's
just an observation, that's all. I wanted to complain about that.

(08:19):
But is that why they lost? And then I had
to knix that idea. That's not why they lost one
person squared debunt. That would be Sel Freelick. I wanted
to complain about that. Is that why they lost? No,
that's not why they lost. So I was I was
trying to dig for things and I just couldn't come

(08:41):
up with anything outside of that. Dude was good, yeah,
and I have to admit it. Then Blake Snell was
just good. Oh he was a yeah, way more than good. Yeah. So, uh,
text your friends, let everybody know Fox Sports nine to
twenty after the last bitch, you make the switch right

(09:03):
here and we'll meet you here again tomorrow night. A
different phone number. This isn't our first time here on
the back on the AM dial nine twenty. We've been
doing this periodically throughout the season. You guys, you know
longtime listeners here know that.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
But there's a different phone number in uh regards to
this station, and that is four one four seven one
ny SO four one four seven nine, nine, one, nine twenty.
Are you mad about this? I gotta say, And I
don't know if you guys expected me to throw a

(09:42):
tirade or a rant or something pipe bomb? Did you
expect that tonight?

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I gave it a thirty percent chance? Okay, So did
I expect it?

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Know?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Would I have been surprised if.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
You were ranting and raving and have those forty eight
you know, veins popping out of your forehead like after
most losses. No, I wouldn't have been surprised. But there's
not much to rave about or rant about on a
game like this. The picture, Blake Snell was just on it.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
He was and Caleb a taser ready for you, Derevin?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Really, I mean this is the NLCS bro.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, what are you doing against a lefty man? You're
looking right at him, he's looking right at you, Caleb.
I mean, it's tough to get a big jump on
a lefty. You know that. You've known that since you
graduated from Little League? No steals? Right? The level above
little league is when you start stealing bases.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Wow, So I wanted to gripe about that. The slider
definitely I can gripe about Avenue arrive. You were wild anyway,
gotta go challenge fastball. Now, maybe it turned out that
Bets would have hit a basis clearing double if he
does challenge him. There, did a nice job against Otani.

(11:11):
Of course, Freddy Freeman had to be involved. Just going
through my notes here, Freddie Freeman had to be involved
in a pivotal situation against the Brewers, didn't He had
to jerk Tommy Edmund, that little nap, that dude. I

(11:31):
will say this that I much prefer him to be
on the Brewers than any other team. How did the
Dodgers do this? Oh, that's right, that's how they do it. Yeah,
you know, reach for your wallet and just yeah, we'll
take this guy, that guy, that guy that's like a
fantasy football league. Let's take whoever you want. All right,

(11:52):
Let's get to the nicolay law dot com talk line
at four one, four seven. We say hello to Nate Nate.
Two to one in the NLCS, Brewers down no games
to one. I get ready, Nate, Nate, Nate, Nate, get

(12:14):
right into that phone. So the microphone picks it up.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
Okay, hey, you every bit.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, we go stay right on it, all right, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
There we goes.

Speaker 9 (12:23):
So yeah, the all three brewer a couple of games,
so it's fun and you get a chance to call in.
So I'm not not too getting too upset about this loss,
like you're saying, Snell was just'm on right now, I'm
on today, So not much you can do about it.
But the big thing is is that they got to
the Sasaki who's supposed to be the shutdown closer. So

(12:45):
that's very positively for the rest of the series.

Speaker 7 (12:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:50):
Also, I think it's I was thinking about.

Speaker 10 (12:52):
This during the game.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
It's kind of fun exercise that you were.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Just talking about.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
Is think about one Dodger player that's actually good that
wasn't a free agent signing.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, are there any.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
You know of the of the big dudes, the big guns? Yeah?
Probably not.

Speaker 9 (13:16):
Okay, is there a starring picture that wasn't a free
agent signing? But yeah, I hope, I hope Kershaw is
gonna if he pitches the You're gonna win this in
five Laying Kershaw has cost the Dodgers about at least

(13:38):
three World Series titles, so I'm happy that he's on
the team.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, we are too, We are too.

Speaker 9 (13:45):
Yeah, I can't wait for game two, but no, as
far as Game two goes, yeah, I'm happy with it.

Speaker 11 (13:50):
I think they can get the wins.

Speaker 9 (13:51):
Freddy, I think it's a very clear starting pitching advantage
by's hit Yamato. Well, so I think they just gotta,
you know, refresh. I don't think they're not gonna have
a good a game again. And uh, yeah, I'm very
happy with how the pitching did. Except for pitching any
pitch your freeman, I would just walk him at all point.
I would just walk Otania Beds and the entire series

(14:14):
if you can.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
I mean, I don't care.

Speaker 11 (14:15):
They're they're the only two dangerous cities in the lineup.

Speaker 9 (14:18):
Really, I mean you can, you can kind of pitch
around the other guys, I think, so.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, I don't know why the Dodgers bunned in front
of Otani. Well, uh, you know, because you're just gonna
put him on and and then you're gonna have to
face bets. So that's that's what happened. But again that's
there's no slouts either, so I guess either way, Uh,
the Brewers had to face a beast of a hitter.
But yeah, I I don't know if this is something

(14:45):
to to necessarily get overly out of bounds on this
this two to one loss. I mean, you're not going
to win very many baseball games scoring a single run.
It's just not gonna happen.

Speaker 9 (14:59):
The only thing that that would have done differently is
I would not have had Terrang in the cleanup spot.
I would put a Bond in the four hole. And
if you really want to have the lefty righty lefty
righty thing, then put Freely in the lead off and
then have Cherio Yelich Vaughn Trang if you, if you
really need to. I just don't get why you wouldn't

(15:19):
want to have an infinitely more clutch hitter in the
cleanup spot, because we all know Andrew baughm would have
would have gone that.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Well.

Speaker 9 (15:26):
I shouldn't say no for sure, but I'd have felt
a lot better with Vond there, just to put the
ball in play, find the grass in the game.

Speaker 12 (15:32):
So yeah, I mean that was.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
A decent match of the righty trying against the lefty trag.
I mean I didn't mind that. You know, you weren't
looking at the big bomb there. You were looking at
just find some greens somewhere and you're gonna win a
ball game. You're just looking for a basin right there, lefty,
righty against trying And I felt pretty good about that.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
Ab well, me and my brother, we were pretty down
at him swinging at something out of his own just
that's the way he's been doing all playoffs. And I
think vonn is just a more calm hitter. Like we
knew Concuris is gonna walk have a great at bat,
and we would have had Bond having a.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Very Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all good, good points.
All right, Nate, thanks a lot. Well, we'll talk tomorrow night. Yeah,
Yellis and Contrarius with with good at bats. I mean
they they weren't going to force things. Although I'm still
waiting for Yelich's moment. He was just saying yeah they. Also,

(16:32):
hats off to Pat Murphy because Joey Ortiz did not
get that at bat in the ninth inning, although maybe
you should have. He'd have hit it out Jake Bauer's
warning track power.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Oh that's right, man, that's right, oh.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Joe oh oh. Let's go to on on the nicolay
Law dot com talk line. At four one four, we say,
look to Brian, Brian, your next two to one Brewers
lose Game one of the NLCS.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
Well, guys, is nice hearing your voice, is being a
chance to call off to any of the games in
the NLDS and then all those games, and what an
incredible experience. And I just put us to the Brewer
crowd for for that series and obviously tonight, uh, you know,
holding the Dodgers onto two runs, you know, I think

(17:31):
that was a major, major win for our pitching, Steve,
even though it doesn't go in to win TLEM And
that's unfortunately, that's what that's what counts. H we It's
too bad, WD you take advantage.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Of this game. Well, if Blake Snell is just normal,
if Blake Snell is just normal and not great, if
he's even good and not great, the Brewers win this
game because because of what you just said right there, Brian,
you held that Dodge team down to two single runs.
That's it. You're gonna win a lot of baseball games

(18:06):
you hold that team to two runs.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
You know.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
And and to Nick's point, I mean, I don't know.
I think they have a lot better than just a
few hitters on that roster to in that lineup. And
I think for Quinn and for and for Aaron Ashby
early on to hold that team down and give us
chance at the inning after inning, it's just we just
could not get the Blakes now. And and I took this,

(18:29):
I kok my cap to the guy.

Speaker 7 (18:30):
He was incredible.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, Brian, hold on here, pipe on, you want to
grab that highlight. We're gonna play one highlight and not
the sackfly in the ninth inning. It was that fourth
inning in which I really thought the Brewers, some way
we're gonna win this game despite Blake Snell doing what
he was doing. That double play, Oh my gosh, can

(18:55):
you believe that? I mean this bases loaded, Quinn Priester
and all sorts of trouble. And this ensued.

Speaker 13 (19:08):
That up for two and once he skis won to
center field hit, well, this one's got a chance.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
So you gonna going back to the wall.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
He leaves, it's in.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
And out of his dog and he caught it, and
now chaos.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
On the basis you might have a play at the plate, the.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Throw not in time that he's out.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
He's out.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
It's a force.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Play at the plate and he is out.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
All of this is gonna be reviewed.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
It's only a force play if he didn't continted.

Speaker 13 (19:42):
I don't think they know. Also, did he leave early?
Once it hits the glove, you can leave the base.
It hits the wall, it's a force play. Then it's
the first play.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's gonna be.

Speaker 10 (19:53):
A force play.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's no catch.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
He hits the wall off his glove, and now it's
a force play at home.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Let's see, and the throw beat him out.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
So you're gonna bases loaded in two outs, three outs
because concerns ran the third.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
They ran the third for another force or another force.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (20:14):
I mean the catch was the second out out at
the play would be the.

Speaker 11 (20:18):
Third out, no back depart Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, force play and then they play at third.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Wow, what a play?

Speaker 7 (20:25):
What a while play?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Oh man? Oh man? Oh man? Was that something? Brian,
Oh baby, you find a way to win that ballgame?
If that happens, do you.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
You're you're exactly right. And I thought, I looked at
I looked at the sky at that point, I thought, Bob,
you are with us here, you know, And and it's
like I couldn't believe that. It was just incredible to
have to play like that. They're gonna play that for
for years and years and years after this game.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
But but uh you know.

Speaker 14 (21:00):
I mean, I we we have a lot of ball.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
To be played in this series. And I still got
the Brewers winning and in six here. I really believe that,
and and I really feel they're going to do this,
and and uh, all we gotta do is come back
and we gotta we just gotta win in LA. Unfortunately,
gonna win in LA and probably been winning in six
is probably gonna be winning in seven now. But but
but I mean, it's just but the last thing I

(21:25):
want to tell I want to say to you two
guys by Bomb and Tim. I've been taking on YouTube
guys a lotful and awful lot the last couple of
days and hearing what I heard this morning, and and
uh uh I'm thinking of you two guys a lot.
So just know that.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Brian.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, We're I mean again, Brian, thank you. We'll be
in touch. I uh I again. There were some changes,
and well, I don't want to be labor the point
because we're on and we're gonna be on Fox Sports
nine to twenty here all the way throughout the duration
of this Brewer season. That's what we've been told. Now,
can that change? Guess it could change tomorrow. It's not

(22:03):
gonna blow me away if if that changes in terms of,
you know, being shocked by it. What I am disappointed
with is, you know, we don't get to hang out.
So they remedied that in Milwaukee, and there's always the
iHeartRadio app. So we appreciate the fact that that they're
working with us on this.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, it is nice that, you know, especially with this
magic run, that that the crew is currently on here,
that we still get to do this show. And so
you know, trust me, we are very very thankful for
that because if that we have the plug would have
gotten pulled now.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
But Game one of the NLCS.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, this would have been a hell of a lot
tougher of a game to watch.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Absolutely it would have. And we use this as therapy
just as much as you guys do. I took a
nap today just after just after the news. Uh huh dude.
When I woke up, I had forty five text messages.
That's the most I've ever received after one nap. Vierkal

(23:15):
Kenny at four one four seven, What's going on? Kenny?
Two to one Brewers Fall in Game one of the NLCS.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
That was an absolute heartbreaker. There's no way, there's no
other way h to say. It was just a heartbreaker. Yeah,
the Snell kid pitched the whale of a game, but
what a heartbreaker. And going back to the to the
last part of your call there with Brian, the throw
by Ortiz was outstanding on the relay. It was a

(23:49):
perfect throw to the plate and the heads up by
contrarists to do what he did. So the wackiest play
probably that I can ever remember in a playoff game,
let alone an NLCS.

Speaker 12 (24:05):
It was.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
It was a crazy one because everybody had it wrong
until you actually saw the.

Speaker 12 (24:09):
Ball hit the wall.

Speaker 7 (24:11):
Off they hit the wall, and then.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
You like, and you know what, Kenny, I've always questioned
that because of the architecture of these ballparks, I think
it should be legal to catch a ricochet. I do.
I do, because you could. There's all sorts of you know, cutouts,
and there's all sorts of sorts of divots, and there's

(24:34):
all sorts of weird stuff. So let them play pinball
out there. But anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (24:40):
Well, anyways, with that being said, it was just one
of these deals were in the ninth I said, I
was texting Justin and Johnny we Werer on a three
way and I said, all right, just get the leadoff
guy on, get one of these two on and get
Bowers in there. Get Bowers in there. And when Bowers
came to the play, they said, right here we go.

(25:00):
And what does he do? He risks on the center
field and I was like, yes, come on, now, that's
how we needed, you know. And then we get the run,
get him loaded up and everything set and I said,
I said, I said, you know, Terrang has been clutched
all year long, but he just couldn't lay off that

(25:21):
high fast solid was like, damn it. And I kind
of chuckled because I got a few texts that are like,
why didn't he just let that pitch hit him. I'm like, batters,
don't think that way.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
You don't, you don't.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
They're thinking, yeah, yeah, you're you're trying to get out
of the way. You know, you're not, You're not trying
to get hit by it. But it was just one
of these games where you were I just couldn't wait
for Snell to get out of the game. I said,
I didn't get Snow out of the damn game. They
got a chance, and sure, you know, long and behold,
they had that opportunity here and unfortunately they just didn't
cash in. But now with that being said, I mean,

(25:53):
by no means is this series lost. I mean it's
going to end up back here in Milwaukee, which is
actually going to be perfect for that when they win
Game six to win the series. So you win tomorrow night,
you get to in LA and you come back and
you close the damn thing out in Milwaukee so we
can go to the World Series. For crying out.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Loud, just be done with it.

Speaker 7 (26:12):
Yes, yeah, that's that's what I'm looking at. I mean,
the amount of beard that I consumed was incredible watching
that game, because it's like, God, dang it, this guy.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Hits another quarter.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
But it was according to you know, we all have
our little plans. Yeah, we'd all want the Brewers to
score a million runs to just run away with it.
But that's not I don't think that that's realistic. Okay.
So I looked at the game plan as just stay
in the game during their starting pitchers. Just stay in
the game. If you if you want to play late,

(26:42):
you're gonna get that bullpen. You will get that bullpen.
I thought I hit it the first game of the NLCS.
I thought I was so spot on him, like, man,
just hey, give me a blue bass is here. Brewers
win and they outlasted the starter they got to the bullpen.
It's just one run short, two runs short against that bullpen.

(27:05):
Because why because Snell was so on, I just didn't
expect one of the Dodger pitchers to go eight shutout
on ten punch outs in one hit.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
Yeah, very very rare outing. And going back to the
Dodgers as a whole, listening to some of the national
abundits and some of the oh the Brewers, Yeah, yeah,
their season is gonna come to an end here pretty quick.
Dodgers are There's just way too much. And I'm thinking, well,
did you not realize that they that they had one
all six matchups this year? Have you not seen this

(27:37):
team play? They didn't get the ninety seven wins and
the best record in baseball because they were lucky. The
fact of the matter is they played damn good baseball
and they showed. They showed the baseball world tonight why
they won ninety seven games. Now, granted they came up
on the losing end, but this team's a phenomenal team
and they're going to bounce back. So under no uncertain
terms should they be hanging their heads. They come out

(27:59):
tomorrow night, you get the win. You know this bullpen,
their bullpen is sketchy. And and for for callers that
are saying we have to you know, walk their two
best hitters. No, when you walk somebody and you put
somebody on like o Watani, that's what's set up that run.
You don't want to do that. You want to pitch
to these guys. You want to force them to put
the ball in play. Enough of this walking. These guys

(28:21):
pitch to these damn guys. It's the NLCS. There is
no tomorrow. We've got the pitching staff that can pitch
to them, that can that can make them work. It's
time to make them work. And I don't want to
see this walking garbage. You go after them and that's
how you beat this team.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Okay, got you, Kenny, Thank you.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
Boys, Keep the faith. Everything will be good. You're on
for the duration here. Let's keep her going, all right,
all right?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Tank? Thanks? Yeah. What I don't want to hear tonight
is that was a great game. Okay, I just don't
want to hear that. I've heard that before. I want

(29:06):
to say it was Game two against the Diamondbacks in
twenty three and his name was Craig Council, right, yep, yep.
It was a great baseball game, memory said that postgame.
It's not now. If you're not a fan of the
Dodgers or the Brewers, then it might be a great

(29:28):
baseball game. If you're a fan of the Texas Rangers,
it was probably a great baseball game tonight. But as
a Brewer fan, uh huh, I mean this is uh,
it's tough. I'm actually not I'm getting worse as the
show moves on. Normally it's I get better as the

(29:52):
show moves on. With my mood after a loss, I'm
starting to get a little worse. I don't blame it.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know, we just listened to that double play highlight,
something that you know, basically I know, I've never seen before.
And uh so now you're experiencing things that you've never
experienced before.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
It's a day of new timmy.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay, uh let's see here four one, four seven, and
we go to Uncle James. What it do?

Speaker 8 (30:23):
Uncle James, Good evening, gentlemen, What did you do?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
What did it do?

Speaker 8 (30:30):
Holy Moly, I can't believe I've followed up with beer
caught and Brian, but you're right.

Speaker 15 (30:38):
Today I felt bad for all the Bruer.

Speaker 8 (30:42):
Pans that spent a bullmoad of money to go to
the game, and only fun part of it was the
bottom of the nine. I mean, come on, you know,
this guy's okay picture, but we may look like somebody unbelievable.
I don't know what going on.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Well, that's I mean, that's what they say. When a
starting pitcher is on, it kind of doesn't matter. I
mean a lot of them have you know what we've seen.
You look at Burns, look at Woody, look at Freddie.
Over the years, I mean we've seen when these guys
are on, it's it's futile. It's it's futile for the
other guys. And Brewers happened to run into one. Now

(31:24):
what I I guess what I could say is they
tried swinging early against Snell, and that's a dangerous thing
because he kept his pitch count down. Oh he was
sixty six pitches in the sixth inning. I mean that
is like, that's like ten pitches in an inning. You're gonna
have to have success early or that's the gamble you take,

(31:47):
and you extend the outing for him if you if
you're not putting the ball in play and at least
making him throw pitches.

Speaker 15 (31:55):
Yes, you're right.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't even gonna drink, but I
hadn't start drinking when we got that double play at
the top of the floor, and mean crap, I thought
we're sure we had that game one when we're play.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
It's just a crazy play, one of the craziest plays
you'll ever see it. And just for those that are
aware of it, once a ball hits a wall, you
can't catch it. It does not go as a catch.
It's a ball in play. However, the umpires need to
signal that right away, and I think that's what was
Dave Roberts beef there. But they made the right call.

(32:36):
You saw the one umpire he called it safe. There's
no catch there, so well, I mean, I guess we'd
have complained on the other side if it happened to us.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
Well, okay, quidze. Minds need to know once the Brewer
season ends, Tim, are you on any employment line or
are you a free agent, which could be a good thing.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
We need to know both.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
Both.

Speaker 8 (33:05):
Okay, well, so are you still getting paid by ninety
seven point three? Are are you close to collecting unemployment?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Not to be nosey as if tonight we're still getting
paid by ninety seventy.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yes, we are cool, all right?

Speaker 8 (33:23):
And then another thing, if we need to hear from
you guys, we're not supposed to switch on ten seventy
in Maddenston.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yes, for the game network ten to seventy. Well, you
can always use the iHeartRadio app. That's anywhere, so the
stations still matter. Just download the app and you can
you can hear game programming. We're still gonna have Billy
and Armon and Doug Russell and Nick and Drew and
KB and Hunter and I guess I'll be filling in
a time or two. Pipe Bomb will be there, Gasper

(33:51):
will be there, all on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 8 (33:55):
Okay, well, Pipe you're still on nineteen twenty that season
for the Admirals, right.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yes, sir, and nice catch, good saved there. You were
like a goalie. I heard the word you almost said
you were.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Like that hockey yes stuff, yes, yeah.

Speaker 15 (34:15):
Well, actually I caught a game or two last year.

Speaker 8 (34:18):
I couldn't believe he's actually talking on.

Speaker 15 (34:20):
The radio, and he somethings like he might even know
a thing or two about that.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's hard to believe he's talking on the radio, isn't
his Uncle James.

Speaker 15 (34:30):
Yeah, he's funny, he's craft to listen to. I mean
I would say the word words I got away with
one on Saturday, but also things by that way.

Speaker 16 (34:41):
But uh, anyhow, I mean, we can't win them all,
and like I said, you know we'll come back to
tomorrow is a big game, and of course has always
go pat Dog got blessed and keep the buzz busted.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, thank you Uncle James. Yeah. I mean I am
now more nervous for Game two than I was Game one.
And I don't know why that is. Maybe the honeymoon
hadn't worn off from the Cub victory. I think that
might be it. I was a little more calm tonight.
Maybe I shouldn't be. Were you calm heading into this?

(35:22):
It just seemed like there was less pressure when the
reality is there should be more.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Yeah, when you go from the Elite eight down to
the Final four, I had the exact same feelings. I
wasn't that stressed. I fully expected the Brewers to win tonight.
I did not expect them to run into size Snell, and.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
They still had one hell of a good chance to
win at the end.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
So right there, right there, See, the playoffs were splitting
hairs on a pitch, I know, on a single pitch,
And that is kind of what I dig a lot.
It's just hanging out. Why are you throwing a three
two slider? There? You got a gamble? Well maybe that

(36:11):
was the gamble.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Well, this is one of those games where you're sitting
there and you're watching it, and you're watching Snell just
be a surgeon up there, and you know, the only
thing that popped into my head is, damn. This is
how those teams felt when Miz came up and made
his first handful of starts because he was electric, making
people look absolutely foolish, the same thing Snell did to

(36:35):
us tonight.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
It's gonna happen on the other side, all right, four one, four, seven,
nine nine on the Nicola Law dot Com talk line.
We're here over on the AM dial and get used
to that. We're gonna ride out the season all the
way to the World Series Championship game here on Fox
Sports nine to twenty with the postgame Show and Pottawatamie Sportsbook.

(36:56):
There's Jeff Roloski. My name is Tim Allen and tell
your friends postgame show. You can find it on the
iHeartRadio app and here on Fox Sports nine to twenty.
And to make matters worse, the Chicago Bears had to
win tonight. It makes it a little more sting to it,
doesn't it. Uh yeah, a little bit a little bit.

(37:19):
Brewers fall two to one in Game one of the
twenty five NLCS to the Dodgers, and the championship season
rolls on. However, this is a seven game series. There's
a little time to play with. But we're gonna hear
from Pat Murphy coming up, and some really really strong
words about Blake Snell's performance from Murph. I don't know

(37:43):
if you saw this. One of the quotes was the
best he's ever seen in his tenure here in Milwaukee.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
And I I'm trying to think of some other performances.
I'll have to put that into the thought bank here
and think about when the Brewers were man handled from
a starter like that.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
There aren't very many, No, No, there really isn't.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
I mean, you and I have been working together for
years and I don't recall ever, just acquiescing and saying, hey,
I'll step back and I'll throw that dude some credit
because that was a clinic. So what do you do?
Sometimes you just run into that And it was a

(38:30):
buzz saw. And I probably noticed it third inning, somewhere
around the third inning, and it was like, wow, he
is landing everything. Yeah, I mean there was a take
a look at the Brewers hitters. I mean you could
tell they were off balance the entire time. He was

(38:51):
just good. But that being said, still the Brewers are
just that one hit. Oh give me one base hit here,
Contreras Yelli's terang. Give me you had the guys up there.
You wanted even, didn't you?

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Absolutely, you got Bowers an ab late. I mean, the
one good thing about this is I don't care Tomorrow's
pitcher for the Dodgers. He ain't gonna be that good. No, nope,
So put some runs on the board and play from
the lead. The Brewers pitching staff as a whole did

(39:29):
pretty well, just allowing the two runs in the two
to one loss. We're here on Fox Sports nine to twenty.
Tell your friends if you know you're talking at work
or you're texting back and forth. I can't find the
guys in ninety seven to three, Well tell him the
iHeartRadio app is always there. And of course, uh here
on Fox Sports nine twenty in Milwaukee, and we'll get

(39:52):
back to the nicolay law dot Com talk line. No
text unless pipe on you want to give out your
your number and one can text.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
In absolutely five five five.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Five five to five pipe bomb. So all right, let's
get back to you guys. Colin. You're next here on
Fox Sports nine twenty postgame show with Potawatomi.

Speaker 7 (40:18):
Sportsbook Tim Pipe.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
How are we doing more important? How you are.

Speaker 6 (40:26):
Not great?

Speaker 17 (40:26):
You know I was in the same tonight.

Speaker 18 (40:28):
It was.

Speaker 9 (40:29):
It was absolutely electric.

Speaker 17 (40:30):
Until it wasn't anymore. Not gonna lie a little bit frustrated,
and you know, maybe this is just trying to cope.
But you know we won three games in the NLDS
with the same lineup, and again tonight Murphy takers through it.
And we love and I love Murphy, I love Bryce Terraing,
but you know, the guy's the coldest hit on our

(40:52):
team take out playoffs. He's hit what clean up seven
times in his whole career. From that bet that base standpoint.
And you know NLCS came on, we thrown out there again.
It's just I don't know, at some point, I think
we got to question his decision making a little bit.
You know, there's no doubt he's great as a culture guy,
but it's just frustrating.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
It is frustrating, and and I think you know, the
ninth inning at least would have turned out a little
bit different. You'd add a different bat and in uh,
Vaughan up the bat.

Speaker 19 (41:25):
That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
And I hadn't thought of that. I mean, I didn't
necessarily mind the lineup heading into this game. Pipe on,
did you when he saw the lineup?

Speaker 2 (41:34):
No, I didn't mind it, And actually I was kind
of happy that Colin's got in there because he's been
so good for so long this year. But I definitely
see your point, Colin. You know, you go three and
oh with the exact same or you know, three and two,
but three and oh with the winning lineup that lineup, yes,
and uh, and then and then you pull the switcheroo again.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
So is it a head scratcher? Yes?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
But you know have well did we call out Murphy
after Games three and four because of the crazy lineup.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Yeah, we did that.

Speaker 12 (42:05):
Too, we did Yeah, obviously, you know Snell was great.

Speaker 17 (42:10):
I mean, don't need to take anything away from him,
but you know, nin Dinning, I just feel like you
got someone else in there that may have been a
different result.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Could be. You might be right, but there's another game tomorrow.
You get this thing back. Even Look, you know tomorrow
is not a slam dunk. They've got some work to do.
But I do feel good about the offense that they
don't have to face Blake Snell anytime soon. Yeah, you know, Freddy, Hey,
Freddy could be just as hon as Snell was tonight

(42:43):
or close, and you may get five six innings out
of out of Freddie tomorrow night and just shut him down,
whether Brewers put up three or four or five runs,
and you could have a little bit easier time. So Colin,
hang in there. We're frustrated too with you. Hey, go Crow, Yes, sir,
let's go to We got a couple of Sam's.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Yeah, yeah, let's pick a Sam.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Pick a Sam, any Sam, any Sam can call too.
We're trying to break the record. The other night we
had five Tim's and three Jeff's.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yeah, that was amazing.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
We're trying. We're trying to get h We're trying to
get upwards a three or four SAMs. But this Sam,
you're on Fox Sports nine twenty two to one Brewers fall.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
Hi.

Speaker 20 (43:28):
You guys doing tonight?

Speaker 1 (43:29):
More important how you are, Sam?

Speaker 20 (43:33):
It could be better. That was just a tough game.
You already touched on the buzz saw Snell and stuff,
and the Dodgers did let the Brewers hang around all games.
You just couldn't take advantage. And but you need to
find you can't just have one.

Speaker 7 (43:51):
You need more opportunities.

Speaker 15 (43:53):
You can't the ninth thing.

Speaker 8 (43:54):
It was your only opportunity.

Speaker 20 (43:55):
You got to try to create more opportunities to score.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
That was tried with a lead off base hit by
Durwan and Uh in that third inning, and you saw
what happened Uh. One out later, he's picked off.

Speaker 20 (44:13):
Yeah, that was something I thought maybe that was the
turning point in the game. Possibly, I'm not sure about
that one.

Speaker 7 (44:21):
But the great news is that Snell.

Speaker 20 (44:24):
Can't pitch every game, and that bullpen for the Dodgers
is shaky, to say the least. It is it's time
to punch back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
That that's right, that's that's absolutely right, all right, Sam,
thanks for the call. That bullpen is shaky for l
a man. I really thought the second the second Snell
left that game. Now you know you did? You did? Uh?
You did hang in there all all told. You gave
up two runs the entire nine innings of offense. You

(44:56):
give up two runs to that lineup. You should win
that game. This may come back to haunt them. You
know you you didn't win a game in which the
Dodgers scored only two runs. Yeah, I mean that could
come back to get them. But really, a lead off
walk in the ninth inning that didn't help. That was

(45:17):
there were a couple of four pitch walks. They weren't
even competitive walks by Brewers pitchers. Priest Or had one
and then Urebay in the ninth inning, and that run
came round to score in the ninth inning. That run
was a free free pass. That was a free base.
That was a free run essentially.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Yep, And sure was.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
And that's I mean in the playoffs when you're splitting hairs,
I mean that that will do it. So you shouldn't
downplay that. That was a big moment. You walked months Monthsie.
I think it was in that ninth inning. All right,
we'll go to Sam number two. Sam, you're on the
postgame show with Sportsbook. What's up, Sam?

Speaker 21 (46:05):
Right, we gotta set the record straight here. There's a
lot of people in I mentioned there's a lot of
people on social media. There's a lot of people taking
me saying why did Bryce Terrang not take the hit
by pitch? Let me explain to everyone who thinks that
he should have just stood in there and possibly risk
taking a ball right to the kneecap all a Christian yelich.

(46:28):
This is fight or flight. All baseball is as fight
or flight. As a batter, you have less than a
third of a second to figure out three things. What
is the pitch, where is it going? And am I swinging?
You have less than a third of a second.

Speaker 15 (46:43):
And you have to do that five to six times
a minute.

Speaker 21 (46:47):
To the people saying Bryce Terrang should have taken the
hit by pitch, you need to stop talking for the night.
Take a breather, crack a couple of drinks, go touch
some grass.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
We're gonna get him.

Speaker 11 (47:00):
And I mean, let's let's face it.

Speaker 21 (47:02):
Two we keep talking about this with Blakes. Now he
it's kind of hard to win the game when the
other picture's got the Lord and Savior on his side.
I mean he had, he had the best game of
his life. We cannot act like this series is over.

Speaker 15 (47:15):
It is far from over.

Speaker 21 (47:17):
This is probably the farthest it's been from over in
a long time for the Brewers in the playoffs, from
series done in a long time.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah, and that in terms of the Dodgers point of view, Yeah,
a win's a win, I get it. But that was
a near miss for the Dodgers. They almost spoil. And
here's why why. I think it's a little bit bigger
win that may haunt him had the Dodgers lost this game, Sam,
could you imagine what would be going on in that clubhouse?

(47:47):
You get, you get eight shutout on one hit, ten
punch out ball, and you lose the game. Oh man,
you you Bryce Terrang, William Contreras, Christian Yelli. One swing
may have won you Game two as well.

Speaker 21 (48:07):
Yes, and it would have been one hundred per nightmare
and fuel for that clubhouse across the way. And in
the end, Bryce Train swinging at a crabby pitch, it
probably looked amazing out of trying and Tan, let's be real,
fastball up in the zoner up and out of the zone.
Looks like it's right down mainstream when it comes out
of the hand, So I really can't blame it for swinging.
But at the end of the day, that's just got

(48:29):
to get it going earlier. They just got to get
it going earlier, and they got it going late. He
just fased a guy who want to say young not
too long ago, threw a no hitter not too long ago,
and just had the best game of his life in
game one of the NLCS. I am not phase full stop.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Good stuff, all right, Sam, good stuff? Yeah, especially thank you,
especially on the instincts on what you gotta do in
less than a second? That is that is great stuff. Yeah,
you can't just I mean, he's supposed to side that
right away. Your instinct is say get the hell out
of the way. This is gonna hurt me.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
It is, it is. So we got to call him
science Sam.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Science Sam. Yeah deal.

Speaker 16 (49:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
He was breaking down fractions of seconds and all a
bunch of other stuff I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
So that's awesome science Sam.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Wow. All right? Uh four one four seven nine. Marshall,
You're next year on Fox Sports nine twenty with the
postgame show.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
What's up, Marshall, Well, good evening, guys.

Speaker 11 (49:32):
Hi.

Speaker 18 (49:33):
Yeah, it's uh yeah, it's frustrating. But at the same time,
you know, I've listened to your callers and to you guys,
and yeah, we ran into a buzz saw tonight. I
mean you have to just the only your talking history
and how the Brewers were dominated for those eight innings.

(49:54):
I go back in two thousand and seven to win.
Burlander was throwing a baseball that nights that no hit
us and that ball was dancing like Fred Astaire. The
Brewers just could not find that we had bron fielder
in those days, remember.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
And yeah, and I think council Craig Counsel I think
was the leadoff hitter in that game.

Speaker 7 (50:15):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 18 (50:16):
And of course, uh you know it was. It was
just even in the fourth fifth ending of that game.
I can still remember just saying, man, are we I've
told my mom, my late mother at the time, we
might not get a hit tonight. I was feeling it
at that time that and it was that way tonight.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
And okay, that's a good one because we were trying
I was trying to go back in the memory bank
to kind of find one of those and neglected to
think about the no hitter from Verlander and Detroit. Yeah,
that was.

Speaker 18 (50:48):
It was something And even though at the time we
were as frustrated, you had to give credit where credit
was due that night, and you do it to Snell.
But I'll tell you what what I really loved about
the ain't any the scrappiness, the fight in this team.
You know, the old Laura Brandonan line, I get up
and fight in the song self control. I fight in

(51:10):
the night as she did back then. God rest her soul, guys.
But I'll tell you what we fought and fought and
and I think it gives us some momentum going into tomorrow.
And I feel the same way as some of your
callers that I just think that we're going to We're
going to find a way to win. We have to, guys.
We can't go to La down to nothing. Look at
where the state the Toronto Blue Jays are in right now.

(51:34):
We can't be there. And we've played better than Toronto
did tonight by far. And I think that with Peralta going,
I think we'll win tomorrow and I feel like the
series will at least come back to Milwaukee. I think
we're gonna have a great series, guys, I still do.
And you know, I was just just can't believe what
we saw today. You know, the how great a pitching effort.

(51:59):
But the Brewers fought back and that's the thing that
we should be encouraged about. Even though there's no moral
victories here. I'm hoping that momentum goes into tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Very good, Marcel, thank you, And he drops Laura Brannigan song.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
Oh okay, never heard of her?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
No, Laura who bran again? Don't know what that is saying?
Like what a feel?

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Okay was that her? I thought that was sad?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Benattar Laura bran again? Yeah, I may have to fight
the fight? Is that what he said?

Speaker 3 (52:41):
I think so?

Speaker 2 (52:43):
H boy, if you would have said fight fire with fire,
I know that's Metallica.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Uh fight, the good fight.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Is triumph, okay, the insult dog you gotta fight for
your right and little Beastie action.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Fight fight Fight. There was a politician that said that once. Yeah,
there was not that long ago.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
The band there's a band named fight that was Rob
Halford once he left you his pre solo band, great
name too, Yes.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Sir, inciting violence.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
Though, if you're soft.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Four on the nicolay law dot com talk line, we
go to otis otis your next year, Bruce fall two
to one.

Speaker 10 (53:33):
Yeah, man, I'll tell you what. First, it was a
pleasure to meet you two guys after your twentieth anniversary.
Pipe was a rockstar, you know, he guided me to
you on your smoke break. I got to shake your
hand and meet you in person, and we gave my
wife a hug, made her nice. She's the hugger of
the family. So he you guys were awesome.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
And it was it was great meeting you. I hope
to see you guys again. Absolutely.

Speaker 10 (54:00):
Well, we're coming to town tomorrow. I'm going to try
and score some tickets. But you know, we'll see what
how the finances are. I mean, you know, if any
two outraters, I want to be there. And you know,
the game was fine. Yeah, I agree with most callers
and that guy he was just it was just too tough,

(54:20):
you know. And the thing of it is, you can't
bring in that U rebate And that's my pet peeve
for baseball. Anyway, you get rid of the guy on
the mound, you bring in the guy from the bullpen
and he walks the first fing guy he knows to
wow and it always comes back to bite you, and
damn if it didn't. That was the difference in the game. However,

(54:42):
you know, we did what Brewers do this year. We
got the guys on base, you had to tie and
run at third, and you had the guys coming out
on the batter's box. So I can't complain too much.
And it really sucked. But what was worse is when
I changed the channel and them damn bears pulled that out.
So the double lammy that on top of it. Yeah,

(55:06):
all right, So yeah, we're coming tomorrow, and if we
can't get tickets that we might just go back to
that dog out, you know, and get a sports bar,
you know, and both my fellow Brewer fans and you
know what, you know, and make it go get on,
get my drunk on or something.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
And there you go.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
There you go.

Speaker 10 (55:24):
Yeah, and hopefully you know, hey, go off to LA
one one, you know, And and I like my chances
out there.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Yeah, And that's the thing. Tomorrow is such an important
game for for obvious reasons. But otis thank you be
careful on your travels in and I have fun tomorrow
night and hopefully you get.

Speaker 11 (55:42):
Something pull up to you, guys.

Speaker 10 (55:44):
I hope your future, you know, doesn't get too disrupted.

Speaker 7 (55:48):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 10 (55:49):
Thank you again, thank you.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Thank you. Otis. Yeah, well, radio is a survivalist game.
I guess you could put it, but uh Wmorrow is
such an important game in that at the very least,
if you split here at home and get a win
in LA, it comes back home here and you've got

(56:13):
a shot. I know it doesn't sound like a lot
because you're down. You know, you're down three to two,
uh at that point, but at least it comes home.
That's why tomorrow is pivotal. Oh yeah, And will they
automatically lose the series with the loss tomorrow? Not necessarily,

(56:35):
but I think we'll breathe a lot better with a
victory tomorrow, at least knowing that you're you're gonna win
one in LA and you're gonna bring this thing back home.
You can you win game the first game in LA,
meaning game three on Thursday. After winning tomorrow, boy, I mean,
then you can get greedy. It's it's uh, I'll tell

(56:59):
you tomorrow. I feel so good about this offense, and
I don't want to jinx it or anything like that.
But man, I feel good about the offense tomorrow. I
just do. It must be a pleasure to see anybody
on that mound for this bruise offense tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Right, Yeah, you would think that no matter who's on
the mound for the Dodgers, that the Brewers are going
to look at him like a freshly wrapped Christmas gift
that they're just waiting to tear into and you know,
rip the cover off the ball.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
So you got this guy, Yeah, we got this guy.
All right, let's go to Harley your next postgame show
with Pottawatami Sportsbook here on Fox Sports nine to twenty.

Speaker 12 (57:46):
Hey, guys, I just got one comment about the game
and another comment I think to follow up or this said,
you come in and walk a batter.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
You know.

Speaker 12 (58:06):
We could have been tied. You know, the game should
have been won one yep. I mean, do you agree
or not? I mean that absolutely nuts.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Yeah, I mean I have gone I haven't gone on
a tirade over walks in a while. But man used
to oh yeah, wow, what are you doing. You can't
throw competitive pitches here? It was just for four balls.

Speaker 12 (58:34):
Oh, it just pissed me off tonight. I mean we're no,
we didn't battle Snow. Snow battled us. But I mean again,
bowers that would have tied the game, that place would
have went nuts.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (58:51):
Yeah, they were waiting to go nuts. You can't, I mean,
come in throw it down the middle of the freaking players.
They hit it, they hit it. It's just absolutely I
want to pull my nails out when I see that.

Speaker 22 (59:06):
You know, don't do that.

Speaker 11 (59:10):
And just a comment on you guys.

Speaker 12 (59:13):
I was up at the VA today and kind of
spreading the world a little bit. I called you three
years ago when I was in therapy and I was
talking with some of the guys and some of the
boys up there and the staff, and they all want
to thank you for for uh putting a smile on

(59:38):
her face and what you guys have done. And it's
just I know, it's a business and it's uh is
what it is. But from everyone up at the v
A and UH the post game family and everyone else,
I hope you guys stay together, hook up and that

(01:00:04):
year we can no matter what happened this year, next
year we can begin to keep this thing going.

Speaker 17 (01:00:12):
So from the guys up.

Speaker 12 (01:00:14):
To the VA and the Post Damn family. Thanks guys,
and have a nice night. Take care.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Harley, thank you, thank you. You know, when when you think
about big picture on some of the stuff, it is
the absolute least we could do for veterans.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Yeah, I mean, are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Come on? This is and and I am overjoyed with
that response. I will do everything I can to keep
this thing together. It's been together twenty years, and I
will do everything I can to keep it together. And
if you don't hear me next year, it means that.
It doesn't mean I didn't try everything I could. I'm

(01:01:01):
not going to pay to do a radio show, Okay,
I draw the line. I don't pay to go to
work aim into that. Some people do. Some people in
this business buy their own radio time. I'm not ever
going to do that, you know why, because then I'm
no good. Then it compromises the quality of this program

(01:01:24):
and the other thing with Harley there pipe Bomb. I
look at this show and I don't want it to
mean any any other radio shows, because there's some good
radio shows up and down the dial. But I've always
stuck with the fact that this is different. This is
a group of Brewer fans that are just together. That's it.

(01:01:47):
For twenty years we've been together. And that is unlike
a lot of radio shows where listeners come and go
and they're there, but they Okay, I listened to this
other this other station for the last eight years. Oh
I finally, okay, I come back to you. No, this
is us staying together for twenty years. I'll do everything

(01:02:08):
I can to do that. And I believe it's special.
I do. I don't know about you, guys, but I
think it's special. And the postgame or family is proof
of that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Yeah, you're one hundred percent right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
You know, there are people that paid to go to work,
and those are all the men and women there at
the VA because they did their job and now they're
paying the price for however long, you know, for all
the injuries and whatever they have going on.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
There's no way we can think those.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Guys and gals who we owe a hell of a
lot bigger gratitude to them than anything that we should get.
So you know, you want to sit there and you
know there's a place, a couple places that paid me
to act like an idiot on the air.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
Okay, that's me.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
You know, it's not like I'm acting like any I
really am this dumb and so you know, like I said,
there's no way that we can think the guys and
women that are still over there suffering at the VA
for you know, their service, and it didn't matter if
it happened in Vietnam or if it happened in Iraq
or anywhere else. You know, those those guys in Gales

(01:03:26):
are the ones going through it, and that's where the
real things should lie.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
It should there's no question or just the radio show.
So if we can at least do that to put
a smile on your face once in a while, man,
let's do it. Let's be frustrated together, and maybe you
are frustrated. Tonight two to one, Bruce Fall NLCS Game one,
we'll go to Alison. Alison, You're next year on Fox
Sports nine to twenty.

Speaker 14 (01:03:53):
I have to say I was about to hang up
because my comment now seems really stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
No, it's still that put it into context though. I mean,
that's some heavy duty stuff from Harley.

Speaker 14 (01:04:05):
Yeah, that was so deep and now I'm just gonna
say something dumb about the lineup. So I just wanted
to respond to the guy that was questioning the lineup tonight,
And I would say this, so we were at the game.
There wasn't one moment during that game that I thought, well,
if this were the lineup from Game one or two,
we'd be hitting against this guy doubtful. I mean he

(01:04:26):
he pucked flights out like that's.

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
Just the way it was.

Speaker 14 (01:04:29):
And the other thing I would say is.

Speaker 15 (01:04:32):
If you think about the lineup.

Speaker 14 (01:04:34):
A certain manager that we love put sal in center field,
which probably saved four runs.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
That's right, yep, yep, no doubt.

Speaker 5 (01:04:45):
That's quite a swing.

Speaker 14 (01:04:46):
That's quite a swing that could have happened.

Speaker 15 (01:04:48):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:04:48):
So I just say, don't fustion the lineup.

Speaker 14 (01:04:50):
Like I had the same calm feeling that you guys
had going into this game. And I don't know if
it's because I was out of adrenaline in voice and
screaming at but I did feel a different level of calm,
just being happy to be here and just being excited
to be back at the ball first. And I still
think we got a hell of a chance.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's true, Allison, thank you. Yes, and not dumb.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
None of the comments.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
Unless we get to well, I won't name names anyway,
but you're right. That that calm nature. I really caught
myself prior to the game, like, just prior to the game,
got off the air on the pregame show and and
I was like, man, I'm not I'm still happy about

(01:05:38):
the cub thing I got. Admit, that doesn't mean I
won't be devastated if the Brewers get bumped out here
by the Dodgers on the doorstep of a world series tomorrow.
A little bit different, Allison pipe Bomb, A little bit
different because I'm already starting to get a little vegigoity
on that one tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
Yeah, the pressure is already starting to fluffle up a
little bit, and uh, you know, yeah, it's Tomorrow's going
to be one hell of a long day between that.
Whenever you roll out of bed in first pitch, that's
for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
I'll be scrambling up all my tensions and it'll be
just a just a fluffled up mess. But that's a
good thing. That's a good sports, healthy thing. It is
a heartbeat going maybe take a little bit of a walk,
blow off some steam a little bit, and just scream
go Brewers every twenty five feet.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, and that'll help for.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
The twenty five championship season. The neighbors, they don't care.
They know what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, they know you're a nutjob to
begin with.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
They do, they definitely do. All right, we'll take a break.
Pat Murphy coming up, we'll hear from him, and we'll
here's comments on what he thought of Blake's now and
also Hunter Bombguard, our Brewers insider was at American Family
Field to witness this one. You guys are dynamite again
despite putting up the one run, But that that ninth

(01:07:02):
inning sounded electric and I thought, to Allison's point, I
thought that was the matchup. You kind of wanted Bryce
to rang the lefty against the righty. Trining. Yeah, oh man,
I just this game might be over. There might be
stealing this thing, but not to be. They fall two

(01:07:23):
to one. Fox Sports nine to twenty is where you
find the postgame show with Potawatomi Sportsbook bet. Above the rest,
there's Jeff Rolaski, Tim Allen. We'll be right back. Get
a couple of more phone calls in here. As the
Brewers fall two to one in the twenty twenty five NLCS.
Dodgers two Brewers one, It's one games the non obviously

(01:07:46):
and heading into tomorrow. We'll get another one tomorrow at
American Family Field, and just think about like a gapper
from William Contreras to score two runs.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, we'd be listening to a little cool
in a gang and raise.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Raise your hand. If you thought the kid in the
ninth inning was gonna walk this thing off, I did.
I mean, who didn't. That's what it came down to. Yeah,
Churio got the run in for sure, but it would
have just made so much sense. I mean, you talk

(01:08:28):
about the national scene, the national stage, and for him
to to walk that thing off. Oh, you have the
guys up there. You wanted the bottom of the order
set the table, bowers obviously pinch hitting for arties, which
you had the table set in the ninth.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
Yeah, you definitely did. And I do think that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
You know, before the Brewers win this series, Churio will
have his big coming out party. Whether that's like a
three or four hit game, whether it's a couple of
Dingers in a game, he will have his national moment.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
And not in the Mark Sanchez way.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
That's true. Wow, that's a story in itself.

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
We'll get to a couple of callers here justin a
two to one loss, ran into a buzz saw and Snell,
I feel like.

Speaker 5 (01:09:16):
I'm completely dejected tonight. Hurt a lot of the positivity
and it feels good, man, especially when you hear a
guy like Harley. But you know, as you always say, Tim,
it's more importantly about you. Pipe Hunter list goes on
and on, man, like, I don't have any words for
this stuff. Man, I just so dejected today, and they're

(01:09:38):
so dejected tonight after it turns out that, you know,
Pat Murphy made every correct decision, and I know we're
gonna get frustrated at Abner U Rebe for walking the guy,
and I completely get Harley and the other callers, and
I understand why it frustrates him. However, I didn't feel
like Abner was that bad. He usually walks a guy
here and there, that's okay, you gotta walk on tany though,

(01:10:03):
But and you know, maybe what Kenny said, maybe you
pitched to him. This show is just so beautiful, though, man,
And it's like, and I feel like we're giving I'm
giving like a eulogy now before the person is even
in the ground. But it just is because I wouldn't
have met people like Marshall or Ken or beer Count

(01:10:26):
or Johnny or you and Pipe or Billy or Insake
a producer in the Milwaukee area that you have influenced
him and you've birthed a massive amount of people that
are in sports talk radio. Pipe is probably no disrespecting
anybody you've ever had tim He's probably the best sidekick

(01:10:50):
riding shotgun. If you're Batman, he's robbing. If you're young. Oh,
by the way, f Tyree's Haliburton with the Dodger jersey
on the night. If you're yn at, Wow, he's what been.
He's what myles. You get what I'm saying. If you're
robbing you, Pipe is Paul Maltor et cetera.

Speaker 11 (01:11:09):
Or Switzer them. But I just, you know, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
You say that.

Speaker 22 (01:11:13):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
I was talking to Dave Gasper off the air today
on the pregame show, and I complimented him and I said, dude,
you've you've come a million miles here since the season started,
and in fact, and I don't want to imitate Dave
Gasper back in April. You don't want me to do that.
I'm just saying he is He has really come a

(01:11:36):
long way. That's one of the things I enjoy, man,
I do. Uh you know, you look around the dial,
Rommie at the other place, and Sparky and Billy and
pipe Bomb and and Gasper and Hunter, and I just
I enjoy that. I really do, because at some point
I'm gonna have to step away. But I mean it's passion.

(01:11:57):
It's passion that has to be there. You gotta want
to do it, You've gotta have fun, and it's just passionate.
And how can you not with this Brewer's team. How
can you not be passionate about this, This of all teams,
but this whole run of successful Brewers baseball. Now, granted,
I will disclaim that with no World Series, but boy,

(01:12:18):
you lose the passion at your job. I don't care
what you do, your one foots out the door if
you lose the passion.

Speaker 5 (01:12:26):
And we've came a long way, right, We came to
just making it as okay to now being dejected after
a game won n LCS laws. Yes, So I appreciate
all of those moments and I appre and you know,
the couple games in the DS, I was hard on Murphy.
I want to give him his credit tonight. He did
the right things Patrick that pitch. And I know there

(01:12:48):
are no good pitches where home runs come about it.
But Freddy just happened to be an all star to
put a little bit more solid contact on that pitch.
It wasn't a horrible meatball down the middle. He just
got the best of him. I think we saw tonight
with a billion dollars in your payroll, no exaggeration. You
got a three hundred million dollar man on the mile,
you got a seven hundred million dollar man leading off.

Speaker 11 (01:13:10):
That's a picture. Arguably, that's a billion.

Speaker 5 (01:13:14):
Don't factor, and they got a reliever making seventy two million. Now,
we're not about to sit here and cry a bitch
and make excuses, but we're just keeping it one hundred
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
No, but I'll go you one further on that. Blake
Snell is making more money this year than the entire
Brewers pitching staff this year.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
I mean, so the fact that Murphy held this lineup
on clamps and Abner had to have an out of
body you experience to get that insurance run in for him,
and they still had to I just, hey mean, I'm
gonna tell you something home my wife slee because I
don't want to get in trouble. I had to book
the hotel room for six or seven, and I'm dejected.

(01:13:52):
I booked a hotel room. We're gonna figure out this wow,
okay called pipe bomb halfway up there. I'm gonna borrow
some cigarettes from y'all brothers. I'm gonna get on this row,
like dude, it's just And I said it a couple
of games ago when we lost to the Cubs, But
every loss in the postseason is so frustrating because it's
a game closer to this big over. There's your aunt Terry's,

(01:14:16):
there's your Bob. You guys said all this before, but
it makes it all glaring. And then you're staring at
a couple billion dollar payroll. By the way, they achieve
the system and defer half the bs anyway, yep. And
Dave Roberts has the most punishable face in all of baseball,
Like he's the most overrated manager there is. Kim, could

(01:14:37):
you not go on whatever video game you want to
play in twenty twenty five and stack the lineup and
get all the damn best players on your team and
win like the f out of here and Freddie Freeman.
It's a little league park.

Speaker 11 (01:14:50):
Yeah, you're you're a little league baseball player.

Speaker 5 (01:14:53):
I hate him.

Speaker 21 (01:14:54):
I hate him.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
I'm just so look and I'm ranning right now. I'm
so mad. I know you've got a lot of callers.
I'm so dejected. I hope that these guys turning around
the way they've been doing it every year. But if
they don't, You gentlemen, every one of you from every
station that has talked to Wisconsin's sports since I've moved

(01:15:16):
out here, I genuinely appreciate you as I go normally
it's free to pipe bine. We're always going to do that,
but free every one of you to be greater than
what you were Tis ninety seven point three or any
other station for that matter. And everyone that's landed on
a bad time, I hope you tomorrow is better than

(01:15:38):
what today is. And Tim, you're telling them smile at
the end of the show, I'm gone, all right, I
love it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
Yeah, we're gonna get some styles, and we will. This
is there's bigger problems than a radio show right.

Speaker 19 (01:15:52):
In the world.

Speaker 8 (01:15:53):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Maybe now we're gonna get Vincent in here. Vincent, you
know your Dodgers got the best of the Brewers here
in uh game one. But the Brewers are gonna come
back and tie the series up tomorrow.

Speaker 11 (01:16:13):
Hey, hey, we got correct that. No, no Dodger fan here,
Man Angel Giants, brew Crew.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Angels Giants and Brewers fan Vincent.

Speaker 11 (01:16:22):
Yes, what I was listening to. I listen to the
game all the way to work, and I was just quiet.
I was like, man, let's shock the world some more.
If Blake's now, I was gonna do what he did.
I remember when he was on a Giant, he had
like a no hitter. I remember Blake Snell. A lot
of people don't. I didn't want to pay for him
because they hed, they diaed. That was asking for too
much for what he does. He showed out. He did
what he had to do in the playoffs. That's a

(01:16:43):
buzz song. That's a one in a million performance, you
can say, you know what I mean. And the bruk
who hung in there one zero Preddy Freeman. Fun fact,
I went to high school with that guy. Yeah, he
was supposed to go to the rival high school, but
then I guess my high school guarantee him more style,
like you know, a special treatment or whatever. And he

(01:17:04):
went to my time. I was a senior and he
was a freshman. But I don't remember seeing him. But
yeah he did.

Speaker 10 (01:17:10):
Pain.

Speaker 11 (01:17:12):
Nah, you're right into him because I you know, but
that's a funny thing, man, Freddy Freeman. I don't like
the Dodgers. He's on a Dodger, so it made it
even worse. But it is what it is.

Speaker 5 (01:17:21):
Man.

Speaker 11 (01:17:21):
The brew crew needs to kick your head up, man,
Pat Murphy. This is a new series, so I'm not
gonna go at him with the lineup. It's a new series,
so maybe he wanted to try something new. It little,
you know, mixed it up.

Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
But look at that.

Speaker 11 (01:17:32):
It went all the way down. But Tim, but you know,
advert you know our release pitcher. He did walk a guy,
and you always Tim's golden rules, never walk guys, mat Never.
I was thinking about you when he walked that guy,
and I got so mad because that was it.

Speaker 6 (01:17:45):
We tied.

Speaker 11 (01:17:46):
It would have been one one tied game when I
walked him. But that's just the way baseball goes sometimes.
I understand you had to walk show. Hey, you didn't
want to. You don't want to get make him a
hero because that everybody's waiting for show Hay to come
out of his little shell that he's he's stuck in whatever.
You know what I mean. But nah, man, we did
what we had to do. Is only game one. I
always keep my head up, but it is frustrating because
that win was right there. Man, that win was right there.

(01:18:07):
Or just go to extra ending so you can use
up their bullpen, use up their crappy bullpen that they got,
and it would have been it would have been a
shock to the system. But it is what it is. Man,
the game game you got. You know, to me, it's
like you got the word die tomorrow. But you got
to show out, especially intron of the home fans, because
I don't want this to be a sweep. You don't,
because then that's how you lose the respect you're getting
in respect people. You beat the Chicago Cubs, hell yeah,

(01:18:29):
send you set the Trader home packing so you never
have that laugh. You can never have that first last
that you guys beat them in the playoffs when you
first met, the first ever playoff meeting between you know
you guys, y'all took that. They can never take it away.
And you know about your show, man, Hey, your show.
I've been with your show since like twenty fifteen, you
know what I mean, So I enjoy it. You know,
to me, it's like, hey, you go back, go back

(01:18:50):
to where you originated from. Then you know what I mean,
They're gonna treat you like this, you know, but hey,
get your money, get your money. I'm grateful for y'all.
You know, I hope you're still getting paid because you know,
that is what we gotta do in this life, you know,
make our money and take care of what we got
to take care of. But I thank you, man, you
do got that passion. That's why I became a fan
because you and you know, spark Dog back in the day.
Then it was you and Baby Talis and then you

(01:19:10):
and pipe Bomb and you ought to have the passion.
And I was like, you know what, man, I'll just
root for my third This will be my third baseball team.

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
Roof we created a Brewer fan and Vincent, I'd like
to present to you your ten year postgamer pen.

Speaker 23 (01:19:26):

so let's focus on this and now go brew Crew.
Keep you all heads up and pop that forty open
and drink it up onto the next one, baby visit.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Thank you man, good stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Wow, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Vincent in Anaheim. Yeah, discovered us, like you said twenty fifteen,
but just just like the show, liked us, just doing
what we do. And well we're third on his favorite teams.
That's okay, it's all right. I'll mean for California. I mean,

(01:20:18):
I'm not sure I've ever met someone from California that
I like except Vincent.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably right.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
I have relatives in California. There's some good people there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Oh okay, we're going to PC route. So you're you're
saying you like them, but yeah, I do.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
I do well.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
One day you know when uh, maybe the night that
the Brewers clinched this series and we've got you know,
we go five hours, seven hours shows something like that,
we can get Vincent to tell us his favorite NFL teams. Yeah,
because you know there's thirty two in the NFL. I
have a feeling he likes about fourteen of them, maybe

(01:21:02):
fifteen or eighteen. But but yeah, no, man, what a
great dude. And uh, you know, hey, as long as
he's out there spread and Brewer love, that's all good
with us.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
YEP. I was really happy for him, for him and
his Philadelphia Eagles last year, always Las Vegas. Ace has
just won the w NBA title.

Speaker 3 (01:21:25):
Okay, I didn't even know that was a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
But congratulations, Vincent, thank you. All right, let's let's get
to Pat Murphy. Here. Interesting words about Blake Snell and
here's the Brewers manager after a game one NLCS lost
to the Dodgers.

Speaker 6 (01:21:44):
All right, what we got?

Speaker 7 (01:21:45):
All right?

Speaker 20 (01:21:45):
First question from Murph, go to Kurt third Row and
then to Jack.

Speaker 24 (01:21:52):
Happened in the ninth inning there, but the eight innings
before that, with the way Snell pitched, have you how
many times have you seen a pitcher just look that
in control in a.

Speaker 25 (01:21:58):
Path like that rate, his sequencing and in terms of
throwing his change up as effective as change up and
slider were incredible. The kid was incredible. I've seen him
pitch like that before. I think it was its most
dominant performance against US.

Speaker 9 (01:22:17):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
I've been here ten years. I think that's a.

Speaker 25 (01:22:23):
The kids swuming back from Atlanta had one against this earlier,
kind of in the shadows.

Speaker 4 (01:22:27):
It was kind of different. Kid was amazing.

Speaker 25 (01:22:32):
And Will Smith the way he called the game, and
it's just was unusual the.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
Way he did it.

Speaker 25 (01:22:38):
He didn't go back and forth, back and forth. He
just went change up, change up, change up, changement. The
ball was moving so much and such a great pitch.
He recognized it and stayed with it, and so I
credit Smith too, and Snell was he was unbelievable.

Speaker 26 (01:22:53):
Jack Murphy kind of saw it at times throughout the
regular season, even on nights where a guy on the
opposite side was throwing the ball really well, you could
at least kind of work the pitch count up get
him out of the game earlier by not chasing, working
longer at bats. Did it just feel like with how
Snell was throwing tonight, he kind of took away your
opportunities to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:23:14):
I mean his breaking ball was so good he could
flip it in there for a strike and then have
the one below.

Speaker 4 (01:23:21):
It was really hard to discern.

Speaker 25 (01:23:23):
And the change up was dominant to right handers, so it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:26):
Was really really difficult to get a beat on it.
Yeah he did. We couldn't get anything going.

Speaker 25 (01:23:32):
You know, those pitches are really hard to bunt, they're
really hard to put him play, and you know we
don't usually punch out ten times.

Speaker 4 (01:23:38):
But you know, that's what happened.

Speaker 25 (01:23:43):
And our defense, our defense was great. I mean, our
defense played great. The play sal made, so Collins made
a great play. Terrang made three or four really nice plays. Yeah,
it was That was a great performance on our half.
Our pitching staff, for the most part, Art did a
really really good job. You know, Freddie Freeman has been

(01:24:03):
a Brewer killer for a while, so hopefully he'll oversleep
tomorrow or something.

Speaker 27 (01:24:14):
Left side third row Murph on that double play and
the fourth inning, have you ever seen anything like that before?

Speaker 19 (01:24:20):
And what was your view of it from the dugout?

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
Yeah, just what happened.

Speaker 25 (01:24:23):
You know, Sale caught it, caught it, then it touched
the wall base shrunner got confused, and we got it
in as quickly as possible, made to play at the plate.
Then heads up, William got the out of third. So yeah,
I mean, it's it's very unusual and it's tough for
the base runner to figure out what happened.

Speaker 4 (01:24:45):
But it's one of those plays in baseball.

Speaker 25 (01:24:47):
We got very fortunate there, but great part, you know,
great defense on our guy's part for Sally and.

Speaker 4 (01:24:54):
Contrast to be that heads up Joey make the throw. Yeah,
that was big.

Speaker 25 (01:24:59):
We got the big double play after that after we
walked though Taani. It was pretty special defensive night and
in a night I mean to hold the Dodgers down
two runs and a lead off walk and you know
it's a different game.

Speaker 28 (01:25:19):
Go to Kevin in the front row. Thanks for your time,
in your family's time. You made the decision to intentionally
walk show Hey twice, even though the numbers show that
he's he's really scoffling. Is that a situation where he's
just so good that you he can bust out of
it at any time and he's the guy you don't want.
You decided coming into series that's the guys going to be.

Speaker 25 (01:25:40):
It wasn't as hard a decision as you think, because
when a bag's open and you can turn into a
double play situation, you kind of you got a right
hander on the mound.

Speaker 4 (01:25:49):
You kind of have to go for that and.

Speaker 25 (01:25:51):
Show Hey is at least dangerous enough struggling or not,
he's dangerous enough to hit a fly ball, and you
can't give up the run there, you know, with the
way we were swinging against Snell, he couldn't give up
a run. So I don't think those were like, you know,
huge risky decisions. The numbers didn't matter to me, you know,

(01:26:11):
I told you guys the first day here. I think
Mookie Betts is one of the best players in baseball
for a lot of reasons. But I was no disrespect
to him. It was just the right thing to do
with a right hand around the mound and show Hey
coming up with his just his ability to to strike
the ball so hard, and put in the outfield.

Speaker 29 (01:26:32):
Murph on the double play, just making sure that it
seemed like everybody on the field was confused except your
three guys who handled the ball. So I just wanted
to make sure that do you ever talk about plays
like this or practice plays like this, or.

Speaker 17 (01:26:48):
Is that possible?

Speaker 25 (01:26:49):
Sale is one of the most intelligent baseball players you're
gonna find. He gets it, and he's a great outfielder
playing center field for the first.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
Time in a while.

Speaker 25 (01:26:59):
But he's mad that he didn't make the catch, but
if he did, the.

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
Run would have scored easily, you know what I mean.

Speaker 25 (01:27:07):
So it's kind of one of those plays like unfortunate
for the Dodgers that that happened. But the heads up,
noss of salad, just get it in as soon as possible,
and then for Joey to turn around and say where else.

Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
To throw it? Throw it to the play.

Speaker 25 (01:27:20):
He saw the guy going, So it was great. And
Contrera's heads up, I mean it really heads up that
it wasn't a tag play, that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:27):
You know it's a forced play.

Speaker 29 (01:27:29):
And did you know that that was a the scored
as a grounded into double play.

Speaker 4 (01:27:33):
I heard that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:34):
I don't.

Speaker 25 (01:27:35):
I'm mad at scorers anyways right now because of not
giving Yellows a stolen base in that game and then
explaining it like indifference when stolen base slolwers to it.
But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know everything, but putting
it that way, I don't. I guess I don't know
how else they would term it, you know, how else would.

Speaker 4 (01:27:56):
They term it?

Speaker 22 (01:27:56):
You know, back the curtain, the third row.

Speaker 24 (01:28:04):
Or millions of Americans probably the ninth inning are shouting,
just just wear it, just get hit at terraing what
what what do you think when you see a play
like that?

Speaker 25 (01:28:12):
And the reaction thing, there's this, it's a natural reaction.
If someone turns and and makes a gesture towards you,
you're gonna you know, it's the same thing when the
ball's coming towards you. Your natural thing is that it's
a break and ball. The natural thing is to do that.
And I know he was thinking the same thing after
the ball would passed. So it happens to learn from

(01:28:32):
that's that that situation. But it's hard to even if
you try to maneuver yourself, it's hard to get hit
by the pitch because it's just so reactionary.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
All right there he is Pat Murphy, And I'll tell
you what it is music to my ears what I
just heard in the middle portion of that right there.
How many years on this very radio show have I
been talking about you have to gamble with a given situation.

(01:29:02):
The numbers don't matter anymore. Pipe on you and I
have discussed that you just have to walk him, Yeah,
because you just have to walk him because then it
loads the bases. There's there's one out and you gotta
have a chance for a double play to get out
of this thing. Whatever the situation might have been over
the course of years and years and years, and it's

(01:29:24):
always well against right handers, he's batting this, and the
splits say do this, and how does he do against
that picture and that hitter and blah blah blah blah blah.
The situation dictated that you walk the man to set
it up. Oh, I loved it, finally, thank you Murph.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Yeah, I'm glad he said that too.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
And you know, just because you intentionally walk the same
dude twice doesn't mean that you're you know, petrified of
facing him or you don't think that you can get
him out.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
Like you said, it is.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
It is a situation, and especially when Mookie Betts is
right behind him, it's not like you're going from you know,
from a.

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
Very good hitter to the trash heap.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
You know, Mooki is a straight assassin as well, so
you know, yeah, it was situational.

Speaker 3 (01:30:17):
I'm glad he said it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
You know, there's there's been a lot of things that
Murphis said that other managers won't, and I think that's
why he's so refreshing yep.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
And that's exactly why we love him. Yep. That that
is exactly it right there. Man, I've been waiting years
to hear that. I finally hear it in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 7 (01:30:39):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
I mean I started this so the season of two
thousand and six, and finally a managers has said, but
through the numbers out the window, you gotta walk him
there to set up the double play. It's our only
choice here. Oh that's that's a beautiful because then you
got to play the infield up and that creates even
more problems. Sometimes you just have to you got to

(01:31:02):
roll the dice a three to two slider from your rebay.
I don't know if that was the right call. Sometimes
you have to gamble and throw a fastball. Mookie Bets
is expecting a fastball there, but you gotta have a gamble.
You got a good defense. Maybe he hits it right
at someone. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Sometimes you just got to go best on best.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Yep, all right, speaking of best, Blake Snell was the best.
I just want to hear a couple of minutes of this.
It's Snell and Freeman. It's probably gonna irk me just
a little bit, but I'm glutting tonight. So let's hear
a little bit of Blake Snell and Freddie Freeman and
we'll I'll tell you what. We'll leave my mic on
just to react to this. Uh, all right, be careful, okay,

(01:31:44):
just to see go ahead.

Speaker 30 (01:31:46):
Yeah, Blake, this is a weird question to ask a
guy who's starting to know hitter, But have you ever
had an outing where you've been as locked in as
you kind of were tonight?

Speaker 7 (01:31:53):
No, hit her?

Speaker 22 (01:31:53):
Yeah you answered that.

Speaker 31 (01:31:57):
I mean I feel like the whole postseason, I've been
pretty locked the pretty consistent, so different outings, but yeah,
I was just uh, you know, eight innings went deeper,
but last three it felt really good, really locked in consistent.

Speaker 30 (01:32:10):
Similar I think only five of your last fifty one
pitches were fastballs. Like how much does that kind of
speak to how good you felt about your change up tonight?

Speaker 31 (01:32:21):
I think it's just understanding like what they were trying
to do. Like it's like I pitch off of what
they're telling me. Not so I just felt like they're
really aggressive.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
That's just like what.

Speaker 22 (01:32:36):
It seemed to be that way, So I through differently.

Speaker 31 (01:32:39):
But the next time I face them, if they're more
aggressive to other things, and I'll throw the fastball more.

Speaker 22 (01:32:46):
It's just that's what they're giving me.

Speaker 4 (01:32:49):
Go to Russell second on the left.

Speaker 32 (01:32:51):
Like when you are pitching the way like you did
tonight and get a lot of swinging miss with a changeup,
do you feel that in your bullpen before you're coming
into the game or does it take a couple of
to finally get that feel?

Speaker 22 (01:33:01):
Yeah, I mean coming into the game.

Speaker 31 (01:33:02):
I'm want all four pitches to feel good, to just
have some kind of feel that I'll come out like
when I come out to the game, it'll be different, Like, Okay, that's.

Speaker 22 (01:33:12):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
Okay, I've probably heard enough. Okay, because I'm you know,
I wanted to hate him more, but it's it's tough.
After hearing that, it seemed kind of fair and cool.
I mean, I gotta admit I wanted him to act
like a jerk and it didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
Cool might be a stretch, he sounded, uh you know,
paid back.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
Yeah, But okay, So here's my thing. Dude, you're a
professional athlete.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
You just went out there ahead, you know, the start
of your postseason life. Here, why are you whispering when
you're answering questions.

Speaker 3 (01:33:49):
Yeah, put some bass in your voice, you know, come on, man.

Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
Well, years ago when he was talking about the RONA
virus and all that stuff, he was a little more outspoken.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
Yeah, yeah, well maybe he learned his lesson.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
Yeah maybe. Okay, we want to hear from Sal Freelick
just a little bit before the break as well, if
you want to load that and get that ready to go.
I just wanted to hear his comment on especially that catch.
I'm sure he'll be asked here at the front end
of this thing. But who's he out there with sALS

(01:34:24):
all by himself? Oh, Sal Sales by himself. Okay, let's
hear from the Brewers tonight center fielder.

Speaker 4 (01:34:31):
So he's kind of perspective.

Speaker 33 (01:34:35):
Yeah, I mean, Max Begod sing And I went back.
I figured it was it was close to the wall
and I was going out or not. I just wanted
to get myself a play at it and jumped up
and no ball kind of tipped off my glove and
then I just kind of saw it floating there, so
I grabbed it and just fired it into Joey because
I saw the oscar was going like back to third

(01:34:58):
to tag and Yeah, I didn't really know.

Speaker 23 (01:35:04):
What it happened.

Speaker 33 (01:35:04):
I didn't know it hit the wall at the time,
So yeah, kind of weird one.

Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
So what do you think of Williams kind of headiness.

Speaker 25 (01:35:13):
To run to third and get that second out on
that plank and just have the awareness in that situation.

Speaker 23 (01:35:18):
Yeah, it was great.

Speaker 33 (01:35:19):
I think once uh, you know, he saw it was
out at home and figured that he might have gone
off the wall.

Speaker 23 (01:35:25):
It's I can't hit to just go, you know, on
to third. So I was glad he did.

Speaker 11 (01:35:28):
It's how tough was the place now? Offer?

Speaker 23 (01:35:31):
Yeah, you know he was.

Speaker 33 (01:35:33):
He was definitely on his on his game tonight and
executed and really didn't give us, you know, too many
good pictures to hit.

Speaker 23 (01:35:42):
So yeah, I mean, ook, yo, we faced.

Speaker 33 (01:35:44):
A ton of really good pictures, right, and you know
when you see guys like that, you kind of gotta
choke up on the bat final way to get on base.
So we just we didn't do that tonight and you're
gonna have to do that the rest.

Speaker 23 (01:35:54):
Of the series. What were your emotions going through that night?
And I mean, you guys did come close.

Speaker 33 (01:35:58):
Yeah, it was great. No, I this group just really
doesn't seem to ever ever quit. You know, it would
have been really easy there, especially when they they scored
another run to kind of just roll over. You know.

Speaker 23 (01:36:07):
We tried to do too much at the plate, but
it was really just it was.

Speaker 33 (01:36:10):
Great seeing guys pass the bat there and then we
had Christian and William came up with a chance to
to win it right and you know, usually guys are
jumping at the bit, swinging it, you know balls, you know,
really encounts and they were patient. Drew Walks took what
the picture gave him and it was good to.

Speaker 23 (01:36:25):
To get the time round of the plate there at
the end. When you run on the plates.

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
Are assume you've never had a poor south like deep
in the outfield, like.

Speaker 33 (01:36:32):
I mean, like you used to throw a guy out
right like uh but yeah, not not for us now,
I don't think.

Speaker 12 (01:36:39):
So.

Speaker 22 (01:36:40):
How much were you were aware of what was going on.

Speaker 20 (01:36:42):
In your.

Speaker 23 (01:36:44):
No, I didn't like at all.

Speaker 33 (01:36:45):
So I was trying to talk to Isaac and and
left cause it was so loud, and even when the
uh umpires were on the microphone, I couldn't hear I
know what they were saying. So I just everyone started
running off the field so I ran off im just
trying to look in the bullpen. There's like a TV.
I really had no clothes going on till like an
inning later when I could see the replay.

Speaker 23 (01:37:05):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:37:06):
Yeah, you will never see a play like that again.

Speaker 3 (01:37:09):
No, no, you won't.

Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
Selesleie, I didn't know what was going on, you guys
impact a game. I don't know if you caught the
pregame show, but Pat Murphy really really talked about the
fans and said that we make a difference. It was
He's just blatant about it at this point. That is

(01:37:34):
so cool to hear. I mean, that's just that is
really really cool to hear. All Right, we'll take a
break here, we'll come back. Get to Hunter Bombguard at
American Family Field. Unfortunately, Game one in the books, the
twenty five NLCS against the Dodgers, the Brewers fall two
to one. Blake Snell outstanding the Brewers, well, they mustered

(01:37:55):
up one hit against him through his eight innings of work.
You know, I don't think this is a stretch pipe bomb.
You will not see another starter go eight innings the
rest of the postseason.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
No, No, I one hundred percent agree with that. You know,
obviously postseason, for the most part, they usually go shorter
than normal. But yeah, not in this case, not today unfortunately.
But again, the fact that Blake Snell was so damn
good today and the Brewers had chances to win this

(01:38:34):
game late that tells you about their grittiness and about
how good this ball club is.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
Does tell you something, you bet, And I suspect that
this is not going to phase them. No, I don't
think so, still in this thing and game two tomorrow,
but yeah might if we have time here from Christian
Yellis but Hunter on the other side from American Family
Field after a two to one loss, we are the
postgame show with Potawatamy Sports Book on Fox Sports nine.

(01:39:04):
You know that feeling you had during each and every
Brewers Cub game in the NLDS, Okay, I didn't have
that same feeling heading into game one of the NLCS. However,
I think that has changed now. Now I'm starting to
feel those jittery things in my stomach, and so now

(01:39:31):
I want to play right away, get back into it.
Game two. The chances of the Brewers going after a
pitcher that is that on again back to back nights. Oh,
I don't think that's happening. I want this Brewers offense
to face someone other than anybody who was on like that.
All right, postgame show with Potawatamy Sports Book here for

(01:39:55):
the rest of the season on Fox Sports nine twenty
and the iHeartRadio app keep that as well. But let's
get back to American Family Field or Brewers insider Hunter
bombguard Hunter. I heard MURVH talk about Schwellenbach having a
brilliant performance, but somebody brought up Verlander, you know, with

(01:40:16):
the no hitter back in the day here, But I
don't recall recently any pitcher against the Brewers being on
like Snell was tonight.

Speaker 27 (01:40:27):
No, that was just a tough time to game one
of the NLCS in your house as well.

Speaker 19 (01:40:32):
But yeah, there was just nothing they could do.

Speaker 27 (01:40:34):
I mean when when you talk to those players in
that clubhouse, it was a lot of tip your cap.
You know, you gotta gotta just give him credit. And
it's true. I mean, it's just like they had him fooled.

Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
You know.

Speaker 27 (01:40:45):
Durban was saying they change up the low change up
he was locating. That kind of did him in a
little bit, and they could just not figure him out
tonight and that was just a you know whatever, thirty
million dollar man pitching like one tonight and it just
is what it is. And then you move on to
Game two and you have your ace on the mound.
But yeah, that was about you know, usually the Brewers

(01:41:08):
can and they obviously didn't do the woodpecker thing in
the ninth and you almost had a tie game ninety
feet away.

Speaker 19 (01:41:15):
And the Bryce Terran dodging the ball. It's like, oh my.

Speaker 27 (01:41:18):
Gosh, it's like that sort of stuff is what you
think about, you know, in playoff moments. But you were
in that ball game the whole way. You just didn't
have a solve for Snell. And I think that ninth
inning what I also noticed about the clubhouse was in
that ninth inning, it felt like a couple of people,
I think it was Durban. Contreras said this that that

(01:41:39):
ninth inning gives them some momentum heading into tomorrow, because
you go full nine innings of like that one hit
like that. You know, it can't feel good. Yes, you're
gonna be like, you know, let's go get them tomorrow.
But you know, having a little bit of momentum isn't bad.

Speaker 1 (01:41:53):
Yeah, And could you realize what the Dodgers would have
felt just how close they were. Man, not just in
this game. I think this game would have had the
Brewers won in the ninth inning, to have a performance
like that by Snell and then the Brewers to snake
this game from him and the Dodgers. You may have

(01:42:14):
won two games for the price of one tonight. You
may have won tomorrow's tomorrow Night's game tonight had you
stolen that. You didn't. And now the pressure's on you
a little bit more. And like I said, coming into
the segment here, I'm starting to get the jumpy feeling
here that I'm starting to ramp up a little bit.
I was a little chilling, and we got a couple

(01:42:35):
of comments from our callers Hunter. Heading into the NLCS,
it was just a time to breathe a little bit
because that Cup series was intense. But now it ratchets
up back up, I should say, into some intense moments
into game two, and you know it's gonna be Freddy Peralta.
And is Freddie fully capable of doing the five, six,

(01:42:57):
seven innings? Of course he is. This pitching staff held
this Dodger team to two runs. You do that again,
You're gonna win a baseball game.

Speaker 27 (01:43:06):
Yeah, yeah, I agree with you there, I think, and
you have a good chance with Freddy on the mount tomorrow.
He's been great at American Family Field this season is
obviously is better start in game in the NLDS was
Game one at American Family Field, So that's good. But
I'm with you on that feeling, because yeah, I was
pretty chill heading into this game. I'm like, all right,
seven game series, you know, not everything's riding on game one.

(01:43:29):
I think Game five was so incredibly intense that, like anything,
what you know, you could have stuck me in a
World Series game I think today, and I think it
wouldn't have been as intense. It was just like I said,
it felt like the weight of the world was on that.

Speaker 19 (01:43:44):
It felt like we were determining whether.

Speaker 27 (01:43:46):
The world was gonna still be going and turning round,
you know, with that game on Saturday night. So I
think we're back to okay, let's let's you know, be
a little calm. But like you said, I started to
feel that then in that ninth inning when oh my gosh,
they have the night feed away two bases away is
the winning run? They could steal this game as Yelip said,
you know, we could have, you know, almost stole it.

(01:44:07):
So yeah, I think that'll carry on in it tomorrow,
and you got to get a win here at home
and then look, you tie the series, you go take
one in LA, you force at least a game six
six at your place. You know you're in a good spot,
but you gotta starts with winning tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:44:20):
Well, and it does start with doing what you've done
on offense, and that really does count for something. Somebody
brought up, and I hadn't thought about it, but somebody
had brought up the lineups in games one, two, and
five were the same lineups that got you the three
victories in the NLDS. Why wouldn't you go with that

(01:44:44):
in this game one of the NLCS And I hadn't
thought about it till he brought it up. Your thoughts
on that, should they have gone to that original lineup
games one, two, and five from NLDS, Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:44:58):
You could.

Speaker 27 (01:44:59):
It was interesting Collins got the start tonight. I yeah,
it's I don't totally disagree with that. It's hard to
argue because they won every one of those games. Now,
three solo home runs were the ones that got you
to win obviously in Game five. It wasn't like there
was you know, pressure all the time in that from
that lineup in Game five like there was in games
one and two. So and the only uh, you know

(01:45:21):
it was what Perkins and Collins were the only ones
that were switched in and out of the lineup for
this game.

Speaker 19 (01:45:27):
Everybody else was in.

Speaker 27 (01:45:28):
It was just a different configuration with Freelick and center
and obviously Cheery Churio and right and Churio and that
last at bat was or was his it was either
his last at bat or now second to last at bat.

Speaker 19 (01:45:41):
He was hit.

Speaker 27 (01:45:42):
He was messing with that hamstring during that at bat. Yeah,
so that was that was a little concerning. I wonder
if maybe they for some reason wanted to go right
field with him tonight. Maybe they knew that he was
a little you know, he was bothering him more today.

Speaker 19 (01:45:57):
Who knows, I would I would.

Speaker 27 (01:45:59):
Think so, right, So, yeah, absolutely you could argue that, Okay,
just go with the lineup that wins you a baseball game.
So maybe they go back to that lineup tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
Well, And the reason I bring it up, the more
I think about it, I was thinking about it during
the commercial break here, guys that you know, in your
last four postseason games, here's your run totals, three zero,
three and one. Yeah, yeah, I mean those I didn't

(01:46:29):
make those numbers up. They did, and that that's their offense.
I think you're gonna need a bigger number than three here.
I mean it's the Dodgers, and yeah, it is Freddie Pralton,
and it is a great pitching staff, don't get me wrong.
But you're gonna have to give yourself a better puncher's

(01:46:49):
chance than than three zero, three and one, don't you think.

Speaker 27 (01:46:55):
Yeah, And they're one and three in those games, so
you know you're you're one and three in your last four.

Speaker 19 (01:47:00):
You know, if you take you know, you take out
of that.

Speaker 27 (01:47:02):
You won two games to start, and now I have
lost three of four games. And it's wild because you're
six and zero against the Dodgers in the regular season,
and then the one time you.

Speaker 19 (01:47:11):
You know, need to beat the Dodgers.

Speaker 27 (01:47:13):
You'll lose that one right exactly exactly, And like we mentioned,
just gosh, you hold that Dodgers lineup to two runs,
and like you said, you're gonna win a lot of
baseball games.

Speaker 19 (01:47:24):
That's what that's hard.

Speaker 27 (01:47:25):
That's what's hard to wrestle with as we wrestle with
the results of tonight, But it was good to see
them rally in the ninth inning. Jake bauers Is, it's
hard to describe how good he is at pinch hitting. Like,
I don't know, I don't think we appreciate it maybe
as much as we should have, especially on a night
where they don't come back fully in the ninth inning.
That guy the ability to come off the bench and

(01:47:47):
produce immediately that is not easy, and he does it,
I feel like almost every time, and like he is
so good at that, so like to have that weapon
off the bench, and you just feel good when he's
coming to the plate, you know, in a pinch hit situation,
he gets ahead in the count three and one.

Speaker 1 (01:48:03):
I wanted him to take it. I wanted him to
take three one and so shut my mouth. He goes
to the rocks of double.

Speaker 27 (01:48:10):
Yeah, three one, I want bower is swinging away to
try to put one in the seats and and you know,
tie that baseball game.

Speaker 19 (01:48:16):
But yeah, it's yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:48:18):
I So that's you know, a silver lining there. I
don't know, you guys, I might have talked about it Abner,
you rebay again, I don't he pitched six outs two
nights ago. I don't know if I would have went
back to him in that scenario.

Speaker 19 (01:48:30):
But again, who would you you know, who would you go?

Speaker 1 (01:48:34):
Well? I thought about Grant Anderson or Tobias Myers.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
There, no, no, no, no, it was ae run game.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
I get it. I get it. And then and there's
an argument obviously for that, and and that was probably
the right move, but you weren't up one. You were
down one, and that sometimes is the difference maker and
the decision.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
Okay, I I would have on with Abner one hundred
out of one hundred times. There it was a one
run game. You go with your best because you're still
you're one swing of the bad away from tying it.
And uh yeah, I thought it was the right move
for your rebent.

Speaker 1 (01:49:16):
And he was good, he was good in the six outs,
but it was you know, two days ago, right, yeah?
So still yeah, So what do you do tomorrow? Pipe bomb?
If that's the case, then you go right back to him.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Uh No, not tomorrow. Uh you know, that's too many
innings and uh and if they're winning, if the Brewers
are winning, then probably I would go back to him.
But I wouldn't go back to him if it was
you know, one nothing right, because you don't want to
give this team, you know, too many.

Speaker 3 (01:49:49):
Looks at these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:49:51):
You you got to mix up the bullpen dudes, especially
with our lack of starting pitching right now, and you
don't want to give him too many looks because then
they just sit back, can tee you up on you
later on in the series.

Speaker 1 (01:50:02):
Well, and it may be a saving grace Hunter that
Sasaki brew has got a good look at him. You know,
there may be another save situation. If I know anything
about Dave Roberts, He's gonna give him a vote of
confidence and go right back to him. That may come
in handy.

Speaker 19 (01:50:20):
Yeah, that would be good.

Speaker 27 (01:50:21):
I mean he was very good for Sasaki against the Phillies,
you know, in that closer role, and the Brewers were
able to get to him and knock him out. And
Trying is not at a great season, so you know
you had a chance there as well, but just couldn't
quite come through. But yeah, I mean you look at
McGill one run, you know, one run deficit in the
eighth Inningy, he's getting closer to higher leverage. Yeah, you know,

(01:50:43):
so maybe you see him in a closer spot sometime
in this series.

Speaker 19 (01:50:47):
Possibly.

Speaker 27 (01:50:48):
I know it would be three out of four days
for him as well if you pitch him tomorrow. Same
with Abner. You know, Patrick, you're gonna start to you
need some link out of Freddie tomorrow. You do you
look at where the bullpen stands right now, and who
you like out of that bullpen right now? And and uh,
these guys have have pitched a fair amount over the
last few days. I know it's late in the season,
but there is something to that, so gosh, some.

Speaker 19 (01:51:12):
Be big.

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
Today. By the way, you give credit there and Priest
for the amount of the obstacle course that he was
pitching around. I mean he got the job done as well,
So I mean that that worked. So the Murphy decisions
worked right there after Freddy tomorrow, if it is a
four and a third four and two thirds, is there

(01:51:35):
a chance that we see a miss Rowski tomorrow?

Speaker 19 (01:51:40):
Oh man, I would think they save him for Game three.

Speaker 22 (01:51:47):
I would think it's.

Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
Four too, because you still got ka.

Speaker 19 (01:51:52):
Totally, totally, I boy.

Speaker 27 (01:51:54):
Like I said in the pregame show, start Kingtana, I
would say start Kingitana on game three, Like, it's just
I feel like that's, you know, easy enough, veteran on
the road, do it do an opener?

Speaker 19 (01:52:06):
Fine, you think you start missing three?

Speaker 1 (01:52:10):
No, no, no, but but piggyback Misowski onto Kintana.

Speaker 27 (01:52:14):
Yes, yes, I've wanted to see that the whole time
because it's like it's it's kind of opposites there and
you're really you know, messing with them a little bit
by by doing one and then the other. So I
would I would definitely like that you just get say Freddy, Yeah,
Freddy does do a short start tomorrow. I think Tobias
is probably the first one out of the pen because
he's the freshest obviously, So I would think you go

(01:52:37):
Tobias and then you get Missing Kintana and some order
games three and four and and piece it after that.

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
All right, Well that's gonna do it for us tonight
here Hunter, thank you. We get to do it again tomorrow,
hopefully with better circumstances. Here a Brewer's victory to even
up the series. Hey, after all of this, the dust
is settling. Pinch yourself, Brewers fans, you're in the NLC. Yes,
you're you're a handful of wins away from a World Series.

(01:53:04):
I think the team is well aware of that, and
they're gonna have a good showing tomorrow. That Dodger team
is good, let's face it, and they're gonna have to
have things go right. And they did have some things
go right for them tonight. Only the one big thing
that went right for them was the lefty Snell and
the Brewers got shut down for eight innings. But Hunter,

(01:53:27):
we'll see you tomorrow and you'll join me on the
pregame show.

Speaker 27 (01:53:30):
Again, right, yes, exactly, So everybody you know, use that
ninety seven to three the game on the iHeartRadio app
to be able to find us from five to six
on the pregame show.

Speaker 19 (01:53:41):
We'll be back here.

Speaker 27 (01:53:42):
And thanks to everyone for you know, sticking with us
and moving on over here Fox Sports nine to twenty
home for the rest of the season, as you mentioned.
And yeah, thanks to everyone for coming over. And we
appreciate all of you more than you.

Speaker 1 (01:53:57):
Know, yeah, way way more than you think. Sure, all right, Hunter,
thank you, enjoy your night.

Speaker 19 (01:54:03):
You bet you guys too, all.

Speaker 1 (01:54:04):
Right, Hunter, Bombguard, Brewers insider at American Family Field. Yeah,
it's tough. I mean it's tough. We I mean, you
guys have listened to radio stations and they change, and
that's nothing new to a lot of us, right, it
does happen, certainly, not our decisions. Most times. We just

(01:54:26):
get our marching orders and we do what we're told
to do.

Speaker 3 (01:54:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:54:30):
Yeah, they're the they're the say jump, and we are
the how high guys.

Speaker 1 (01:54:36):
That's right. But at least we get to hang out
with you guys. Doc Brewers Baseball on the way out
here of the twenty five championship season. And I mean
I may have said it as a joke, but I
don't think so. The more I think about it. When
the Brewers win the World Series, I'm going to force

(01:54:56):
them to do a show for the parade. I wonder
how that's gonna go.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
Yeah, well, I think that show is gonna be without
me because I think I'll be all gummied up and
having a good time for that one.

Speaker 33 (01:55:10):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:55:11):
You know, it would be hard to be down there
with everybody celebrating.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
And oh, sorry, guys, I gotta go on the radio.

Speaker 1 (01:55:18):
Well we'll have Hunter host and then we'll just be
you know, Sideline.

Speaker 2 (01:55:22):
Reports, giggling idiots. Yeah, I'm in for that. That would
be fun. Yeah, that would be us. That's gonna be interesting.
All right, very good. We'll do it again tomorrow, and
we'll do it right here on the.

Speaker 1 (01:55:34):
iHeart Radio app and of course Fox Sports nine to
twenty the pregame show. You're gonna have to find that
on the iHeartRadio app and that'll start at five, and
then after the last bitch you make the switch right
here Fox Sports nine to twenty with Pottawatomy, Sportsbook for Hunter,
Bombguard and Jeff Rolowski. My name is Tim Allen. I'll

(01:55:55):
try and enjoy the rest of your night. We'll do
it again tomorrow and hopefully with better results. And as always,
despite the outcome, Smile Wisconsin. Bob Buker is smiling back.
