Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it is a final from American Family Field, and
certainly the.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Results are not good.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
A five to one loss in Game two of this
year's NLCS here in the twenty twenty five championship season,
down two games to none in a best of seven
is probably not a good spot you want to be in.
Mister jeff Orlowski. There's the Polish pike bomb. Tim Allen,
welcome in postgame show with Potawatomie Sportsbook bet above the rest,

(00:30):
and we are here on Fox Sports nine to twenty
and the iHeartRadio app. Now that my bowels are loosening,
now we can we can move forward. This is just
not pretty. No, offensively, it's not pretty.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's offensively offensive.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It is offensive.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
The fact that Dodger pitchers now have gone seventeen of
the eighteen in that you have played.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
You had zero runners in scoring position in tonight's ball
game with just the one run. Basically, well, I'll just
add it up. Five hits and two runs in the
two games, both of those runs incidentally knocked in by Jackson. Surio.
That's a no bueno built for October. Is Jackson?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
He's gonna need a little help. He definitely is gonna
need a little help. But is this more of the
Dodger pitching or is this more of an indictment on
the Brewers offense?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I mean you should be able to run into a
double here and there. I mean someone Barrel went up
a little bit and at least get into scoring position.
They had three hits in tonight's ball game, two hits yesterday,
for a grand total of five.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
In fact, when you add.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Up this recent run here not pleasant in that the
Brewers have lost four of their last five in the
postseason here this year, four of their last five they've lost,
and in those five games, a grand total of nine.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Runs were scored by the Brewers offense.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Nine runs in their last five games for the Brewers offense.
Is it is remarkable that you could shut this thing
off like that. Now, we'll give them the first two
games against the Cubs here at home. You know, nine
runs and seven runs, okay, But outside of that, if
you even rewind the clock back to the end of

(02:44):
the regular season, the offense had not been clicking doing
a little something to get Christian Yellis going. Chris, do
you realize this Christian yellis in twenty five postseason games
in his career, he's hitting two twenty eight might be

(03:04):
a tick lower here, he's oer for his last seventeen
and in those twenty five games, just two home runs
in three RBIs three in twenty five games. Now to
put it into context, Keike hernandez I just grabbed one

(03:26):
out of a hat here in ninety four games in
the postseason. Must be nice, huh to be a Dodger.
Ooh yeah, ninety four postseason games. He's hitting two ninety wow,
with fifteen homers. Fifteen homers, thirty nine RBIs. Bats toward

(03:49):
the bottom of the lineup, but two ninety as opposed
to one number twenty two. And I'm not going to
lay all this on Christian Yelli's but he needs to
get going. They're gonna have success here. We all knew
that coming in. Your star has got to perform or
you're gonna have to do the good old fashioned woodpeckers

(04:10):
on them.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And that's that doesn't seem to be working.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Here, No, No, it doesn't. Not with three hits tonight,
it sure doesn't it. Yeah, this this is just kind
of a up and down the lineup kind of failure.
And in that first inning, when Churio led led off
with that dinger. You know, it actually made me more

(04:36):
nervous than I was already because we talked about this
a while back about how when somebody leads off the
game with a home run there is a fairly good
chance that's the only run you're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Seems like that always happens, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh, we've seen it time and time and time again,
and unfortunately tonight was the same old story.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Now, the risk you take in being a great at
the plate, we saw it full mode tonight is that
you have quick innings for Yamamoto and they were aggressive
Brewers were swinging early, they were trying the ambush. It
didn't work. That's the risk you take, and he went

(05:17):
the distance. Here.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
A complete game in the postseason is oh so rare.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Even eight innings last night from Snell, oh so rare
to have that happen. Now, you've got to reset here,
and the goal has to be to win one of
the next two games to get to Saturday. It just
has to be. You must win one of the next

(05:44):
two games to get to Saturday. Then you have a
chance to come home, but you better win one of
the next two obviously the math that we can even
do that math, you're going to be done and it'll
be the done club and the offseason want to get
you want to get your reaction on this. Hey, this
team has been has been doubted before. Oh yeah, And

(06:09):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say that this thing
is over yet.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I'm not doing it.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
You just don't do that because crazy things can happen.
And if there's ever a team that something crazy could happen,
it might be this one this year. But you've got
to start hitting. And I know you know again, what
I don't want to hear right now, and we're doing

(06:34):
a good job of not bringing it up, is the
payroll disparity. I don't want to hear it, not now.
Oh I'll be I'll be knee deep into that when
the season's over, win loser draw in this series for
the Brewers.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
When this season is.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Over, I mean listen for ensuing radio shows that there
must be a change, But we're not going there now.
We're just the Brewers. They have what they have, Dodgers
have what they have. You're gonna have to find a way,
and that's the thing. Find a way. You're putting yourself
into some pretty tough down in distance here. You know

(07:12):
you're looking at a third and thirteen or more. Yeah, well,
you don't get it. You don't get a few yards
to make it a fourth and short or a fourth
and gettable. You're in trouble, and that means get a
win here. I don't care how you do it. You look,
you look crazy bad. Get into a slugfest. Don't care now,

(07:34):
Freddie peralta, hey all, but that last pitch for me,
I thought he did pretty well. I do again. He
holds this team down to two runs to five and
two thirds, goes full on Moncie, and at that point, Jeff,
I'm just pleading with Contreras and Freddie. Do not give

(07:57):
him a fastball. Don't give in right now, don't do it.
Don't give in, don't give in. That's a big run
right there. He's looking fastball, any wiggle on it. He's
either spitting on it or you're going to strike him out. Fastball,
home run three to one. Kind of spoiled Freddie's outing,
really yeah, five and two thirds of three run ball.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, Freddy did Freddy things, and he was good. He
was not good enough, you know. But then again, you know,
you could sit there five and two thirds high pitch count,
all that kind of stuff. You could throw whatever you
want at Freddy. At the end of the day, tonight's
game came down to not only three hits, but only
one walk.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's it. And they talked about early in this.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Game in the broadcast on TV that you know, these
were two of the most patient teams at the plate,
and I understand you wanting to ambush and all that,
and you know, obviously it worked with Churio, but eventually
you have to sit there and when you realize that
it's not working, and that the whole dude sat there

(09:07):
and got through two innings at with what like pitch
counting the teams.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
It was crazy time to adjust back well, and they.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Didn't file off many pitches obviously, no, And that's the
other thing, the old battle, stay in the fight, shorten
up and get some foul balls in there.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It just didn't happen. But back to Freddy here.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I'm not going to blame Freddy Peralta here, and I
don't think anyone should kept him in the ball game
outside of that final pitch of fastball to Muncie on
full count that can't happen.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Guys, come on, I know, Freddy, you're all jazzed up.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You want to finish it six innings, two runs, But
my goodness, you got to be smart about this. I
don't know who called that pitch, but that was a
horrible pitch. Selection Live another Day and he got greedy there.
He wanted his outing to end right there with six
innings of two run ball, and I don't I didn't

(10:08):
like that pitch at all. You want to look at
a turning point, that's one for me. That absolutely is
probably the biggest turning point I can point to. You
never had a runner in scoring position in this game.
I mean, get a get a double. I mean, but

(10:29):
you're gonna have to You're gonna have to get a
win in your next two to push it to Saturday.
That's That's where I'm at here. Where are you guys at?
Welcome in you found us. We're on Fox Sports nine
to exclusively here for the rest of the postseason. You
can always find us on the iHeartRadio app and What
Changes in Milwaukee. On ninety seven to three the game,

(10:53):
we got a nice note. There was a message sent
out from our old morning guys, Steve Zavan very much.
It's really really cool, and you know a lot of
times you know there's co workers, very internally competitive industry. Uh,
but that was cool, uh to give give some kind

(11:14):
words and that we do have a family and a
gathering here that that we can talk Brewers baseball on
and I certainly appreciate that. Twenty years of that and
hopefully more. We'll see what happens. But you guys, we
have a different number here on this side at four
one four seven. That's four one four seven on the

(11:40):
nicolay law dot com talk line. A rough one at
American Family Field. Again, I don't like the trend of
the offense. I can tell you that right now. Am
I gonna stay positive? Yeah, fairly positive. You know ron
Darling said this is game seven. Of course he did.
Brewers don't win this game. It's over essentially what he
was saying. Yeah, Well, would you expect anything different out

(12:04):
to Ronnie Darling, No, not at all.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But again, I'm not gonna say it's over because this
team has proven time and time again to get up
off the mat. When you start doubting them, that's when
I think they shine the most. Go in, Go into
to La. It's it's crazy Ville. Anywhere anyway out there,
things crazy can happen out there. By the way, Darling,

(12:35):
what happened in the series when the Brewers were in
Dodger Stadium in July. I don't think, yeah they did.
I don't think he wanted to mention that in that
same breath. So we want to get your reaction here.
I'm gonna again, I'm not in full panic mode. But

(12:55):
the nervous meter, Oh, that's that's got me a little nervous.
It does. And the first inning at American Family Field,
even Ba and Frank Corr and Darling and those guys
were talking about how the atmosphere was different tonight. Do
you notice that, Jeff, early on in the game, it

(13:16):
seemed a little bit different tonight than it did yesterday.
And yesterday was sort of this relief from the Cubs
series victory as opposed to jubilation.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Maybe right, so there's a little bit of a difference.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
It should have been fired up and all this an
attack in Game one and it just didn't happen, but
we were still celebrating this sort of wow, who counsel
and the Cubs didn't do it to us. Okay, well
you washed that away with a loss yesterday. Snell was
just outstanding. And then you come into game two and
now you're fired up. Now you're back to stress tension

(13:56):
in a fun way. And it just didn't you let
Yama Photo get into that rhythm and it was wow.
It was something to behold. He goes the distance a
complete game in the playoffs, in the postseason in general,
it's just it's absolutely rare. And to go back to
back eight innings and the nine innings, that's extraordinary.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
What's the best way to hide a real crappy bullpen?
Don't use them?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yep, don't use them.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Don't use them.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
And the Dodgers really haven't had to use their bullpen
except for three outs in two games.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
That is unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
You can't have it. Did anyone try a bunt? Not
that I saw, not one bun attempt? What are we
doing here? You got to try something different when you
know the dudes on, when you know you're up against it.
And again I will go back to Freddie prawl to
the Munsie homer in the sixth inning, that was the

(15:01):
turning point. You have achieved your goal pretty much. You
stayed in the game through at least one starter. It
was your own starter. But maybe this game looks a
little different if Freddy gets out of that thing and
it's a two to one game. I don't know if
Roberts lets him go the distance at that point.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
So you know tonight the Dodgers, they fell behind one zip,
they come right back in the next inning and score two,
and then they tack on in the sixth, seventh.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
And eighth.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, an all leadoff men on.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yes, you know they were a hell of they Outwoodpecker
does today.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Second third, first base open late in the game, Tobias Myers,
Tommy Edmund at the plate. You didn't, really, you're gonna
pitch to Tommy?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Have you been watching Brewers baseball? Murph?

Speaker 1 (16:06):
That dude has done it in the postseason last year
for the Dodgers, He's done.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
It in the regular season.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
To you for how many years in the Dodgers and
a Cardinals uniform. I'd rather go at Key k Hernandez there.
At that point, you have to gamble. Okay, you go
ahead and you pitch to Otani first base open. Really,
you just told me the situation dictates it at times,

(16:37):
and then you go anti dictate, you know, the very
next night. Sometimes you have to gamble. He gambled. Playing
Bowers in the outfield didn't work. Here's my recommendation to
Murph into Game three. The same lineup you used in
games one, two, and five in that cub series. That's

(16:58):
the last three games you have won in the post
It's the only three games you have won in the postseason.
Through now seven games, you're three and four and you've
lost four of your last five. Go back to that
and just roll it out there and see what happens.
I mean again, we're is it going to make that
much of a difference. Who knows? Maybe, yeah, it might,

(17:22):
but let's find out. What we do know is that
it worked with wins. Yeah, it worked with production, It
worked with a nine run output, it worked for a
seven run output, and it worked for a three.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Run output in a victory.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
That much we do know. Let's start with what we know.
Glass now is a righty. It doesn't matter. I don't
care right he left, he kick it over the plate.
I'm going with that lineup. So we'll see what Merph does.
And starters determined for at least the Dodgers. That's a

(17:58):
little gamesmanship too. They've got the upper hands, so they said,
screw it, we'll announce our starters Glass now and Otani
three and four. Yep, Brewers have TBD. Why isn't it
just Jose Kintana just out of the shoot that guy's
gonna start. So here's also the deal when you look ahead,

(18:23):
if you do start Kingtana and you piggyback Misowski. Okay,
I could see that, right, everyone so far, so good.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Check. No, who the hell is gonna pitch game four?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Exactly? That's why you can't do it. You've got to
sit there, you know. I okay, maybe you do an
opener in front of both of them, maybe you know, okay,
figure it out. But you can't sit there and throw
Jose and miss in the same game.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, that's dangerous for four. Yeah, but you need a win.
I mean, you gotta have a win. So it's tough.
We're gonna hear from Pat Murphy coming up obviously a
little bit later on during the show. But I'm not
giving in. I'm not giving up. This team has bounced
back a lot, and that's just I can't do it

(19:25):
because I mean, Yuker magic is still in play here.
Show me something crazy and crazy ville.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
There in LA.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
And that could happen. They've done it before, go in
there and do it again. Now, I wonder how Murph
handles this. You know, he didn't freak out in an
elimination game in game five last week. Yeah, there was
no you know, you better get out there, and there

(19:56):
was no kicking tail or anything. But again, to use
that foot ball analogy, you're down in distance is in
rough shape right now in this series, third and thirteen.
You're gonna have to use that Tucker craft to get
to fourth and two, fourth and three. Give yourself a
chance on Friday with a fourth down. Yeah, all right,

(20:16):
let's get to you guys. Nicola lauw dot com talk
line here on Fox Sports nine twenty with a postgame
show and Potawatamie sportsbook bet above the rest four one
four seven nine nine one nine twenty forty one thy
four twenty seven coming out of American Family Field. You
guys are bringing it early after that. I mean, I

(20:38):
don't blame you. Sit back and order me another beer.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Besides watching, uh, watching the Dodgers pitching, what else was
there to really?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Uh, it wasn't a whole lot to see.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
No, not really. Uh you know in terms of lineup.
Also you uh, do you want Joey Ortiz with a
bat in his hand?

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Never?

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Ever, ever, never ever ever, Okay, free Monasterio, Baby free Monasterio.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I mean you might want to give it a shot.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
The Brewers have scored a run in each of these
first two games on a grand total between the two
games on five hits.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I mean buzzsaw. Yes, I get it. I get it.
Once in a while you run into the buzzsaw.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
But two in a row has something to say about
your own offense.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
It does when you go two in a row.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
When are you gonna make it three in a row?
And then you're gonna give all credit to starting pitching
on the other side. Come on, someone's got to get
the ball in play a little more consistent, consistently and again,
Kristin Jelich, I'm waiting for your moment. Come on over here,

(21:57):
sit down right next to me, have a talk. You're
gonna fluffle up a hug for him, or what I
would if that's what it took, I'd hug him, of course.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yep. Uh, sit down, we'll have a little chat here.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
You're a really good baseball player and had a really
good regular season.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Whatever you were doing, then we got to have it now.
We got to have it right now. A walk here
and there? Eh, oh.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Why ayoughta? Uh? You want to do a little bit more?

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Just can you? Can you do a little bit more?

Speaker 4 (22:37):
It's just baseball. Sometimes the ball bounces your way. Sometimes
it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Thank you, Kristin.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
However, what I've noticed with you is that when you
get lost at the plate, you are striking out and
it's really soft contact on the infield.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's not even a sharp rollover.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
I mean it's a rollover or just fluffled up a
duffer right in front of the plate or to the pitcher.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well, baseball is a game of failure. You fail seven
out of ten times, you walk into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Now you get an elbow right to the spleen.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
I'm trying my best. All these guys were fighting. Sometimes
the ball bounces your way, and sometimes it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Go get them tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
That's just baseball.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
That's just baseball. That might be the new T shirt
instead of October Baseball or built for October.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's just baseball. All right, Let's get to.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
You guys, I'm sorry, We'll go to you're our leadoff hitter.
Brewers down two games to none. It's not the end
of the world, but the world might be wobbling just
a little bit on its axis.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Yeah, so I guess I'll.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Save my pay roll.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
No, it's it's a moot point right now.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
No, I said, I'll say that, but I have some
good stuff coming up later on after the season over,
so we'll love to stay tuned for that.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
But I mean, I guess we're talking about with the
lineup right now, what we see is we have four
guys who are very inexperienced in the playoffs, with Durbin, Freelick,
Tering and or Tees, and combine that with Yellis, and
I think that's what's going on there with Barbara struggling
against you know, Snelling Momoto, because you know, we're just

(24:38):
not seeing good good.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
They're they're not doing.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Better in Yellows.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
I mean, I take replace, replace or Tees for Durbin,
and then I'm with you there or Ties right now
is an absolute You remember playing Little League, I do
easy out, easy out, Okay, back in the day when
you can say you could say those things.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's what Joey Ortiz is right now, what is he
hitting in this postseason?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
A buck twenty.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
One, twenty five? Don't sell him short?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Okay, sorry about that bucking to order, Joey.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
Wow, Yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (25:20):
Played basketball, not baseball, so the equipment would be airball.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
But you know, yeah, he's a walking.

Speaker 9 (25:30):
There we go.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
But even then, Miller Durban, I just don't think he's
season enough in the playoffs at this point. I mean,
even if he's doing better, it's still not a surefire
at bad. So I'm not saying that they can't get
it done. What they need to do is get obviously,
get to a starter's steal Game three, and you can
go from there. But if we're thinking big picture them

(25:52):
are they're struggling here?

Speaker 10 (25:54):
Is that?

Speaker 11 (25:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (25:56):
I mean it's really it's.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Not having a good postseason, ranks having a very bad
post season. Yeah, it hasn't been doing anything at all.
So when that's all going up against the Dodgers lineup,
which is obviously they've all played seventy eighty games in
the playoffs except for Otani, who is happened to be
happens to be struggling mightily. So uh yeah, that's kind

(26:19):
of kind of where I'm seeing it right now. I'm
still I still think they can get Game three, and
the series isn't over.

Speaker 11 (26:25):
But you guys are facing.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
That they're up against. It's going to be an expering
hitter is going against these top line starters every game.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
And but you gotta do better than three and two hits.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
I mean, come on, I you know again, you gotta
do better than three hits tonight and not a runner
in scoring position. Come on, this is the dude that
never made it out of the first inning earlier this year.
What was so different now? A pitcher can be on,
I get it. But you didn't even get a runner
to second base. You're gonna have to do better. You're

(26:59):
gonna have to find way to do better. I don't Again,
is this more of Dodger pitching or is this more
on Brewers offense?

Speaker 12 (27:09):
Well, I think it's both.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
And again I would point to Otani's postseason numbers.

Speaker 11 (27:15):
I think it might just be a playoff experience thing.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, could be all right, all right, Nate, thank you,
good stuff, good stuff, four one, four, seven, nine nine.
Think about what a difference a win would make. Just
think about what a difference a win would make on Thursday, do.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Youah, yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
And like Nate said, you know, we all still believe
that this team can win Game three. It can be done.
But you can't only have three hits in a freaking game.
You can't three hits in one walk Intonight's game.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Two hits last night?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Come on, are you not even getting in position to
be aggressive on the base pass?

Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's taken away all of that.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Also, and and the pitching, you know, they're trying to
hold it together as best they can. I'm not sure
why we can unpack that in the in the offseason
when we get there. But I mean, I don't know
where the starters went other than Freddie Peralta.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
You have one starter, one starting pitcher.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
The rest is just a melee. It's just a scrum. Again,
I'm not gonna blame pitching. The pitching has been okay,
a few runs here or there, just a few. I'm
not asking for eight runs. That's that's you know, that's
that's a tough call. In the postseason, you're facing good teams,
and good teams have good pitchers. That's just the way

(28:58):
it works. It's it's gonna limits some of the run
run capacity. But my goodness, you've you've scored a run
in each of these games, just one, one single run.
And that's not just in this series. So again, we
can't blame Dodger pitching for limited scoring against the Chicago Cubs.

(29:23):
This offense is slumping and that's the reality of it.
They've got to bust out. You got to give yourself
a puncher's chance scoring three four five runs in a game.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
That is that so.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Far fetched? No, no, it's not. And maybe a change
of scenery is what they need.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, maybe, but they're going to walk into another madhouse
nuthouse yep.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
And by the way, Dodger dogs completely overrated. It's a
big hot dog with whatever you put on a hot dog.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I like hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, it's a normal hot dog. Oh gotta get those
Dodger dogs. Well, they're sitting right there at the grocery
store too. I mean, there's nothing special. Now I'm ripping
on the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hey, it's okay, Okay, I got permission.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh yeah, Harley down two games to none. I'm not
giving in. I'm not giving up.

Speaker 11 (30:30):
Well, the reality is, after last night, why didn't they bunk?
Why didn't they get somebody on and steal? Why didn't
they get somebody on freaking base and try to store
a couple of runs? Can you answer that question?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Dodgers got a little sloppy defensively in that one inning,
and you didn't You didn't push the envelope. Make them
make another play? Who was up after Vaughan he let
off with with reaching base on error?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Is that freelick?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
That would have been a perfect time to lay down
a bunt right there. Make him make another play. You
saw Freddy Freeman on a foul ball throw the ball away,
So I mean you they they were sloppy, They were
gettable right there. Push it, push it, push it. You
knew Yamamoto was on. You knew the chances were going
to be limited. When when that occurred, I'm with you, Harley,

(31:31):
that should have been push push, push, that should have
been you know, lay one.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Down, make him make a play.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Maybe maybe Yamamoto throws it down the line and then
that rattles him. So there's limited opportunities, but that was
one of them.

Speaker 11 (31:45):
Well after last night, I were bunted, including the bad Boy,
until they stopped. And you know, it's just frustrate with
the score run.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
He needs someone on base most times, yet.

Speaker 11 (32:02):
Yeah, you know, usually that's the way it works. Now,
I'm not going to be real popular after this statement,
but this was the last game in the American Family Field.
It's it's done. It's over. I'm internal optimists, but let
let's face it. You know they're going into a snake pit. Uh.

(32:27):
There's not a snowball rolling downhill. There's a boulder rolling downhill.
And that's just my duck feel that it's been a
great season, great show. But guys, it's over. It's done.
I haven't heard anything or seen anything in the last

(32:52):
two series that would convince me that this team is going.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
To win.

Speaker 11 (32:58):
The Doctor Series.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
It's just my opinion.

Speaker 11 (33:01):
And thanks for taking my call, and guys, have a
good nights as always, take care.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Thank you, Harley. I think he hopes he's wrong.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Of course he does, yes, but.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I'm you know again, stupid. Crazy can happen. Look at
that catch yesterday. Crazy can happen. Look what the Dodgers
are doing with their starters, that's pretty crazy. In the postseason,
let's flip that around a little bit. Let's put up
a big number. Make them think a little bit. This
is a huge game. At two games to one. Oh baby,

(33:45):
we got a little different outlook, but for sure one
of the next two to push it to Saturday. Yeah,
I mean that's it's that's a step ladder approach.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
But it's gonna be obnoxious in there. They're one of
the few stadiums that jack up the volume and it's
going to be loud. Mike placement is going to be
essential for our guy, Kent Summerfeld on the Brewers Radio Network.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
You know he'll be all over it.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Oh yeah, God, he's good at that, Yes he is.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
But you know, unlike the TV sound, we're just dulls everything.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Well, we'll see what a difference one game would make.
My goodness, but you got to start having a little
bit of offense here. I'm not asking too much. Are
you asking for it? Are you asking for a lot? No,
I'm not asking for a lot.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Well, you know the guy that we should talk to
to get some inside insights on how to potentially beat
this Dodger team.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Oh yeah, Philly Todd his team. Yeah, his team was
right there for the taken in LA Unfortunately, Well, you
made a mistake there, but nonetheless Philly Todd, welcome in.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (35:11):
Hey, guys, thanks for putting me on. Appreciate first thing.
I think Murphy waved the white flag putting Myers in tonight.
I was there. It sucked the wind right out of
the stadium. I don't understand that move, and I don't
understand leaving him in after he was struggling. That really

(35:37):
frustrated me. What I will also say, Tim, you were
talking about the Dodgers pitching. I think they're that good.
I think Snell obviously took Game one. What I will
say is, and I think Pipe kind of hit on
it about a half an hour ago. You tried to

(35:58):
ambush Amo. That's what the Phillies did. They were successful
with it. It works for the first hitter, and then
I think he realized it. And where the Brewers have
been successful all years, they've been a contact hitting team,
and I don't think they ever made that transition. I
don't think they ever stopped and realized like, hey, we

(36:20):
can't ambush, we just need to get on base. You
you've said it too. We need to drop a butt down.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
And then the foul pitches off. Todd.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
They It's just like they never fouled a bunch of
pitches off. They all these abs were three four pitch
at bats.

Speaker 8 (36:39):
It's it's it's hard when you have a starter that
throws a ninety four ninety five mile per hour fastball,
he's got a ninety one cutter and he's got a ball. Yeah, Like,
it's it's hard. Don't get me wrong, But I think
where the crew tonight lost was you couldn't sit dead red.

(37:00):
I think again that that was the plan and they
never pivoted from it. But again, the bigger, the bigger
issue for me was was why did Tobias Meyers, a
guy that was I don't even know was he really
on the roster this year? Like I don't I went
to twenty plus games, I watched a lot of games

(37:21):
on TV. I don't really remember him being on the roster,
and all of a sudden he's in a very important game,
in a pretty high leverage spot when you still had
guys like Caning in the bullpen. I know he threw
last night, but to me, Murph really waived the white flag,
and like this, I think Freddy threw great two run

(37:43):
ball against the really really great offense what happened, Like,
why all of the sudden did we decide we're gonna
wave the white flag? And like I was in two twenty,
we were all standing most of the game and as
soon as Myers came, everybody sat down.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
See, I don't think putting Toby in was waving the
white flag.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
You know, he was good.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
He's a back and forth guy. He's been pretty decent
late in the year.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Yeah, yeah he was, And yes he was a back
and forth guy. But let us not forget that he
started Game five against the Mets and sat there and
went six shutout in the playoffs. So the pedigree is
there with Toby. It just didn't really work out tonight.

Speaker 11 (38:29):
I guess.

Speaker 8 (38:30):
And then like my other my other questions DL Hall,
like why did he not make the roster? I didn't
think he showed anything in the regular season that was that.
I'm really surprised he's not here. He could be somebody
that could be throwing. And then Chad Patrick, I know
he got roughed up a little bit, but like he was,

(38:52):
he was arguably your first half MVP and Tim you're
talking about like where's the starting pitching two guys right there?
Like I guess I'm just kind of lost again. I
don't I don't really understand a lot of the pitching
moves tonight. I was very I was there. It took

(39:14):
the wind out of.

Speaker 11 (39:16):
Out of everything.

Speaker 8 (39:17):
And again I wish the crew would go back to like,
we're here to bunt, We're here to hit singles. We're
not trying to do We're not trying to hit four
home runs like we did against the Cubs. And I
think they kind of lost that tonight.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, all right, good good stuff, Thank you, Thank you, Todd.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
We'll talk again. Has Jose Kingtana pitched or started a
game yet in the playoffs?

Speaker 3 (39:42):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Okay, No, his name is Jose Kingtana. There's now been
seven postseason games and not one.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Start for him.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Nope, he's either hurt.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Are they don't buya his talent?

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Well, how do you do you take your pick?

Speaker 4 (40:05):
I don't think it's option B. They know how good
Jose can be, so that just means that for me,
in my eyes, there's got to be something wrong with them.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
There has to be. This is this is a I
don't know, maybe I'm missing something here. This is a
no brainer to me. He's Jose Kingtana. How many times
has he whooped your ass over the years?

Speaker 3 (40:34):
MUCHO?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I have no starts in seven postseason games. Seven, So
he says there's no starting pitchers, but a starter and
a half.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I wonder who the half is. I'm assuming Priester.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
It would have to be or is it miss No,
it would have to be Priest. And then everybody else
is what? Just bullpen guys? And getting back to Philly Todd.
Two things I didn't understand about his call. One I
could have sworn I heard a tick tick ticking sound
in the back of in the background to his call.

(41:12):
It's kind of I think, what I remember a turn
signal sounding like I don't.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
I don't know anybody who uses those.

Speaker 13 (41:20):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
And then you know he was talking about maybe throwing
Kaneig today. This is the reason why I imagine Murphy
sat there and went with Toby instead of instead of
Kanig and that and those guys. Why he went with
Gasser and Anderson and Toby is because you don't you don't

(41:43):
want to run into the same thing you did with
the Cubs, where the Cubs sat there and got five
games and great looks at your entire.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Bullpen, So you know, was this it was.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
This was still a competitive game up until real late.
But you don't want to sit there and get any lineup,
especially this team. You know, four shots of looking at
what Knig is is going to throw out there on
a night in night out basis. That's why I I
didn't think that they, you know, would go to McGill

(42:14):
or you know, stuff like that. You need to sit
there and hold a little back.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
And I knew, And that's why the monthly homer was
key here. Yeah, because you you probably would have went
with your guys.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
At two to one.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Yes, yes, you would have, And that may have changed
the whole dynamic of this game.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
That that I'm telling you guys.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
It was the worst pitch call maybe other postseason. It's
a full count, bases empty to Max Munsey and Freddie
on Fumes trying to throw a fastball to get get
back into that dugout. I mean, just throw anything but
your fastball. That's exactly what he wanted.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
It is.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Before we go to break here, let's squeeze Dennis in.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Dennis, what do you say, Welcome to Fox Sports nine
to twenty.

Speaker 14 (43:07):
Well, thank you I've just had three little points I
need to make. One is that the I have also,
like mister Allen released after the.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Ball game, there you go and just.

Speaker 15 (43:27):
You know, it's gut and I'm gonna use the word bowel.

Speaker 12 (43:32):
There was some sort of release.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Okay.

Speaker 15 (43:35):
The other end of the say is that, yeah, I
really believe that the whole gizmo of the last two
games was a complete and utterly It's all about motivation, Okay.

(43:57):
The motivation should be thing that goes from one team
and one game to the next. And they felt flat.
The Brewers were flat.

Speaker 12 (44:08):
And if I had to, you know, give mister Murphy
any advice, it would say, get a cheerleader.

Speaker 16 (44:17):
Somebody, get a cheerleader.

Speaker 12 (44:20):
Somebody put a smile.

Speaker 14 (44:21):
On your face, and then that will turn over, then,
over and over.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Do we put this cheerleader? Do we put this cheerleader
in the dugout or on top of the dugout?

Speaker 12 (44:33):
Well, if they got a cake, if there's.

Speaker 14 (44:37):
A cake, oh yeah, probably let's do something with a
cake and a cheerleader.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
I like, I don't watch that channel.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I do.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Or bring bring back Bonnie Brewer. Where's Bonnie Brewer? I
had her on this show.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Uh, I want to say, fifteen years ago a show
or so, the original Bonnie Brewer.

Speaker 9 (45:03):
She died.

Speaker 14 (45:05):
She did she had a bed, she had a bad
hairdo or something, and Bonnie Brewer died. I was at
her funeral.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
All right, Danny, what what?

Speaker 2 (45:16):
What's your beer count at tonight?

Speaker 14 (45:19):
Actually there's no beer count.

Speaker 12 (45:23):
Oh, actually there is.

Speaker 14 (45:24):
But I'm going to a serious note now.

Speaker 12 (45:31):
I can't read my notes.

Speaker 7 (45:32):
We'll have to get back to you on that.

Speaker 12 (45:38):
I love the show.

Speaker 7 (45:39):
I love you guys.

Speaker 14 (45:41):
And if there's anything I could ever do for you
or against you, or do laundry or something, my number
is one eight nine four four one seven. O. God,
it couldn't be one.

Speaker 12 (45:59):
Okay, Oh that's a new one.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
There's the first timer ring that bell for Dennis.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Yeah, that is awesome.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Wow. A cheerleader.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Yeah, hey man.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
You know Drew and KB talking about putting this bringing
back the stripper poll into the.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Studio cheerleader tryouts.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Oh I'd like to I'd like to be a judge
on that, Timmy.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Okay, all right, we'll continue to get to reaction here.
Brewers Fall five won the final down two games nil.
This is not over. I'm not giving up. I'm not
giving in and I know they're not either. One win
makes a difference. I mean a lot of people say that,
you know you're gonna read a lot of numbers. You're
gonna hear a lot of numbers with the off day tomorrow,

(46:55):
You're gonna read a lot of numbers. Only this many teams?
What percentage of this to happen?

Speaker 16 (47:00):
This?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Throw it all away, throw it all in, don't.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Listen to it, don't buy it, because that has nothing
to do with this year's team and this ninety seven
win team I still think has a shot at this thing.
But you have to get to Saturday. What does that mean?
You better win Thursday or Friday. It's pretty obvious what's

(47:25):
gonna happen. And you don't want that. None of us
want that, all right, Murphy coming up Hunters at American
Family Field. We're here from some of the players as well.
Brewers got just three hits in tonight's game in a
five to win loss. We're talking about it here exclusively
on Fox Sports nine to postgame show with Pottawatomi Sportsbook.

(47:47):
There's Jeff Roloski, Tim Allen after the Brewers Game two
NLC loss to the Dodgers. We'll be right back here
on Fox Sports nine to twenty and the iHeartRadio app
Ooh tough times times, but they ain't done yet.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
And that's good Grammar.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Welcome back postgame show with Pottawatomi Sportsbook.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Bet above the rest.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Brewers fall five to one Game two of this year's
NLCS in the twenty five Championship season, and I say
that with a little bit of confidence left. Don't count
them out. I mean, I'm not counting these guys out.
Fox Sports nine to twenty is where you can find
us now exclusively throughout the postseason here in Milwaukee, and

(48:28):
as always on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 16 (48:32):
So.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Fourteen hits in the last four games for the Brewers. Okay, yep,
it is the fewest hits. And this is according to
whatever Twitter I was just reading. It is the fewest
hits in a four game span in Brewers' history. Oh wow, Yelich. Oh,

(48:57):
for his last seventeen, We're gonna hear from past Murphy
and we'll hear from Christian Yelich. I believe he's over
his last seventeen. He's hitting two twenty eight in the
postseason in twenty five games with two homers and three
RB eyes. I don't you know, the average is whatever,
but the three RB eyes in twenty five postseason games. Now,

(49:24):
Murphy had said that he's being pitch tough.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Oh oh, okay, so.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
He's not being pitched tough in the regular season.

Speaker 17 (49:32):
No, it's just meatball city, right, This is all now, Yelly,
come on, get on one of those Yelly bomb rolls
and watch your team roll.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
You can't go oh for seventeen and expect this team
to have good results offensively? My goodness, do I think
do I sound like I'm picking on Yelich? I think
I do?

Speaker 3 (49:58):
You know? It's warranted though, so yes, you know.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Does it sound like we're getting down on Christian Yelich? Maybe,
But when you don't have a postseason RBI in the
last seven.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Years, seven years, you don't have a run knocked in
Christian in seven years, and six of those years you
were in the playoffs. Yeah, it's not like you hop
skipped and jumped a few years.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
So it's a limited sample size.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
You've been in the playoffs almost every single year for
seven years and you don't have an RBI in that span.
Come on, yep, I mean come on, I mean, you're
almost to the point now where if Jackson Serio is
going to be the run producer, why do you have
his third, second, third, and fourth at bat hitting behind

(50:56):
Joey Ortiz. Hello, if he's going to produce runs, he's
not going to do it hitting behind Joey Ortiz. So again,
you have a run production problem here. You're not even
getting hits. What did you have two at bats with

(51:17):
runners in scoring position in the series two.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
You can't make it up, No, you really can't.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
All right? Uh Nikola loa dot com talk line. Let's
get back to you guys. More reaction at four one
four seven south Side Doobie put your spin on this?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
What's going on?

Speaker 12 (51:42):
Hey, franchise, Great to talk to you. Took me a
little while to find you, guys the way I listened sometime.
I just listened to the website. They didn't slip over
to you right away.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
I mean, I again, I apologize for all this confusion
and all that I mean I'm doing. We're doing the
best we can to get the word out where we're at.

Speaker 12 (52:12):
I know, I know you are, and I stay off
of social media as a professor, because the students are
just wild on social media. So I just you know, uh,
I gotta think about this. You taught your son he's

(52:33):
a picture, right, Yes, Yeah, these people swing. These the
brewers have been swinging on first pitch. Now. Both of
these pitchers are out of their edge of course, last
two nights. I mean they're pitching the best games they
ever pitched. Remember we put Yamamoto away during the first

(52:57):
inning already this year.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah, absolutely, and he has now fifty four starts in
his career. Not one of them was a complete game
until tonight.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Figures.

Speaker 12 (53:08):
Yeah, they yeah against us. So now these guys are
swinging at the first pitch every time. Now, Yamamoto was
drilling the I heard somebody before reviewing it saying, well,

(53:30):
we were attacking. We were you like to say we
were ambushing, attacking them on first pitch, right, that's.

Speaker 7 (53:37):
What you like to say.

Speaker 12 (53:39):
Yeah, Well, they were throwing strikes to us. But if
you end up throwing, if you end up swinging at
that first strike and then you swing at the second strike,
now I mean it's pitchers count. I mean that was
ridiculous tonight. These guys were ohing to over and over

(54:03):
and over.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
You're not going to win that way, yep, agreed.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
And even when you do get one, two o two,
you got to start fighting in there. You got to
start falling off some pitches, shortening up and falling off pitches.
I expect that to happen on on Thursday, I really do.

Speaker 12 (54:23):
Okay, And don't you think that a batter from your
experience that I mean, I've been watching a lot of
baseball over my life, and whenever a team is swinging
at the first pitch, they're gone. You swing you need to.
I think you need to see the pitcher's motion coming

(54:46):
at you in real life.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
There's something to be said about that too.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
And and once you detect as a pitcher that they're
going a little more aggressive on you, there's no way
they're feeding you basketball first pitch, there's no chance for
you unless it's eye high, they might go up there.
But I mean you saw it throughout the series here,
it's especially last night. I mean it was breaker after

(55:12):
wiggle after junk all the time on first pitch.

Speaker 14 (55:16):
Yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 12 (55:19):
It was a crazy two games that we ran into
the best pitching And yes, yelich uh and yes, hey,
I'd never broke out my nickname for our boys, Sally.
Yet this whole year, I keep putting it in my notes,
but I never break it out. What you got sal
Brando Brando, Marlon Brando?

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Yeah, yeah, Marlon was great.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
I still like sal Paccino.

Speaker 12 (55:53):
Come on, you're Italian from the Godfather.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Yeah, we all know who he is.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Yeah, sal Paccino. You don't like that over Brando?

Speaker 15 (56:06):
Well it matches with sal Bando.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Oh okay, I apologize for that. I did not realize
the connection. Okay, gotcha. That makes a little more sense.
But I don't think it's up there with sal Paccino.

Speaker 12 (56:25):
Yeah, Seal Brando didn't, didn't sal Bando actually coach us for.

Speaker 15 (56:29):
A little while.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Yeah, and it was the gm m h yeah. Oh
I hear that drink?

Speaker 3 (56:37):
What you drink?

Speaker 2 (56:38):
What are you clinking?

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Over?

Speaker 12 (56:39):
The little makers and from Random Lake, Wisconsin? Jolly goods
our powers.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Oh there you go, a baby nice?

Speaker 2 (56:54):
All right, Well, you take it easy, professor.

Speaker 12 (56:58):
And terrang You know, we gotta get these guys going.

Speaker 15 (57:00):
He got one, but.

Speaker 12 (57:02):
They're they're not hitting. Seal Brando's not hitting drinks, not hitting.
There we go, ok friend, I'm still with you.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
All right, thank you. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad you
found us Sel Brandon. I am so shocked I didn't
catch on to that.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
It's not as good as Pacino.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yeah, sal Pacino's everything there, all right, seven nine, that's
four one four seven. We'll go to science, Sam kind
of science. Well we just got your professor's right there.
What do you got on the science side of things?

Speaker 9 (57:41):
Well, there's not as much science to discuss tonight. It's
you go after first pitch, and you guys just said
it best when you go so aggressive on pitch one
pitch too, A guy like Yamamoto, who can throw the
whole kitchen, sink and the silverware at you, is going
to have all different options to choose from. So it's
never gonna work in that regard. But I at least
applaud Pat Murphy for having the wherewofal to tell him, hey,

(58:06):
get after the first pitch, put the pressure on him immediately,
and it just happened to Backbard tonight. The Dodgers and Yamamoto, frankly,
are just too good of a team to have that
work on a moment's notice.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Yeah, I'm yeah, you're gonna when you ambush you're gonna
die by it occasionally too. Do you have to sense it?
You can't do it two and three times through though.
You got to start fighting in there. He's shortening up
and falling off when you're facing a good picture. And
indeed they were facing well, you know, you can call
them good or whatever pitchers, but last night and tonight

(58:41):
they were good. Whether or not you believe they're overall
good and and I believe they both are. But I mean,
you got to start fighting in there and falling off.
That's that's what's surprising me, is that you're not staying
in the fight to work the pitch count up. What
was our goal coming into this most most of us
all agreed stay in the game until their starting pitcher

(59:04):
is out, and they did that for the most part,
but they extended their starting pitching. It's both of these
were games all the way till this one got away
a little bit toward the seventh and eighth inning, just
a little bit, but it wasn't fifteen to one. It
was five to one.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
And in the fifth or sixth inning.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Both of these games, in terms of my goals, they
achieved both of them. It's just that it with the
pitch count was too low and you couldn't get at
that Dodger bullpen. You've they've pitched one inning in relief
here in the series.

Speaker 9 (59:37):
Wow, And in that one inning we did give them
quite the hard time too. So as a matter of tonight,
they actually were hitting the ball pretty good. They did
hit the ball.

Speaker 12 (59:49):
It just so.

Speaker 9 (59:50):
Happened to go on the seven behind the Mimoto nearly
every single time. That's just being unlucky. That's just played unlucky.
You're hitting the ball good, you're making contact, you're making
contact early, and you're getting the ball in play. It's
just going directly at them on the defense, I can
pull out like an Andrew Vaughn hardliner, right up monksy
to end.

Speaker 11 (01:00:10):
I think it was the.

Speaker 9 (01:00:14):
Exactly. It's just going directly at those guys. Now here's
here's the science for tonight, and it's a little more
just research than it is science. But the last time
that a team went down to zero at home in
a best of seven, the nineteen ninety six Yankees. I
don't know if this was said earlier on the the
the broadcaster, not tonight, but the ninety six Yankees won

(01:00:36):
the World Series. They won it after going down to
zero to the Atlanta Braims. Both games they lost were
in old Yankee Stadium to Atlanta ninety six in the nineties.
So I'm not saying that it's going to happen, but
there is a non zero chance's coming back. And like

(01:00:59):
you said, it's gotta happen tomorrow or not tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (01:01:03):
Whatsay.

Speaker 9 (01:01:05):
I think he's gonna happen Thursday. I think it does.
I think you gotta throw Kenana out there. I think
Kntana's your game three option. Have a veteran guy who's
accustomed to going into enemy territory where it's gonna be loud,
there's gonna be a lot of banter, and there's gonna
be a lot of distractions to go out there and
just shove, just throw chairs all for like all of
five or six innings. I trust Cantana to do that.

(01:01:28):
And then am I crazy to suggest that maybe win
or lose Game three is missed the option?

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Game four what I think it might be?

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Yeah, No, I think it might be. And you just
gambled that he's on and he frustrates the Dodgers sign Sam,
thank you man, thank you. We'll move, but you gotta
remember miss Rowski shut this team down loud earlier this year. Sure, dude,
I don't think they want to face miss around and

(01:02:01):
now here. We are through two games that as mis
gotten in there, Nope, as King Towna started a game
in seven, Nope. Of these postseason games, I don't you know. Again,
it comes down to are we gonna trust Pat Murphy
and not to say that he can't make some mistakes

(01:02:22):
because because he has in my estimation, yes he has.
But I am gonna trust him through Game three and
after that all bets are off, okay, because then your
backs against the wall and it's gonna be a frenzy

(01:02:42):
and it's oh man, if you can get game three
here on Thursday or there on Thursday, it doesn't set
you up for that next game to be the frenzy
you want. You don't want to want him to have
two cracks at this clinch and celebration and we're going

(01:03:03):
to the World Series again. Let's let's prevent that from
happening more than just once, which means you gotta win
one of the next two, but one of the if
you don't win Thursday, one of those frenzied games where
the crowd is going to be all jazzed up, and
the champagne is on. Ice is going to be Friday.

(01:03:24):
Get that win on Thursday. All right, one more.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Thing, Johnny, how many things do you have tonight?

Speaker 14 (01:03:30):
Welcome in, Welcome to the show pipe and Tim, you're
on another thing, Johnny, Sports Talk, what do you got
for me?

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Well, Johnny, I was just saying, my beer counts at
thirty eight after this one, and I just think everyone
Murphy should be fired, and they should fire Murphy and
they should make a trade and trade Jackson Churio.

Speaker 14 (01:03:57):
Well, I'll tell you what, you know, everybody's like all
the brewers, can't you know what about like you guys
being a baseball purist and just saying, I mean that
was clinical pitching last night and tonight.

Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
I mean last night was amazing.

Speaker 14 (01:04:12):
I mean, Yamamoto was like to me, I was watching,
I'm thinking he pitched with such precision, such calm and patience.
Every time he lift his glove up to his chest.
I'm like, is this the reincarnation of Greg Maddocks. I mean,
you know, say what you want. You know, we lost,
but I'm not in the dun club. A lot of

(01:04:32):
people like friends text and that they're all negative. We
gotta just flush this.

Speaker 12 (01:04:37):
Go to Colorado.

Speaker 14 (01:04:39):
Yeah, Colorado, go to California, and we have to just
it's a new day. I mean, we just have to
be ready on Thursday. I liked the idea of Quintana pitching.
I think that's good going into the you know, hostile
environment and pipe. I gotta tell you, man, I got
the song for you tonight. Man, I was going through
my my gott a metal list that you may like.

(01:05:03):
How about a little five Finger Death punched tonight Welcome
to the circus, because we've had a circus last night
and tonight. Dude, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Yeah, man, I'll find that and play it for you. Johnny,
no problem like those guys who me.

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
Well no, not personally, but but you know, hey, at Lisa,
it ain't Taylor Swift.

Speaker 14 (01:05:27):
Well, tim, If I start talking about municipal waste and
taking a dump on the Cubs the other night.

Speaker 7 (01:05:34):
That'll get fired up, Yes it will.

Speaker 14 (01:05:38):
Hey, Hey, two more things you guys. First of all,
I should have taken a tube from Marshall the last
Cubs game. He's out in his garden. He didn't even
see the game. Then he called in. I should have
been out in my garden tonight and I didn't have
to sit three hours through this Dodger clinic.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Are you growing in that garden? At one more thing
Johnny's house?

Speaker 14 (01:06:01):
Exactly. Well, I'll tell you what my MVP talking about
the cabbage pipe. My MVP is cousin Timson. He had
more hits than the whole entire Brewer lineup tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Well he's on hold, so yeah, you'll be able to
counter along with him.

Speaker 14 (01:06:17):
Well, that's my MVP. And then the other thing, you guys, Now,
a month ago, I brought up the latest gator news,
so I gotta let the postgamers know here there's been
a new gator story in Florida. So a dude on
September twenty forest allegedly, illegally, he killed thirteen gators. Oh

(01:06:40):
and as a result, there's a new public awareness campaign
in Florida called Gator Wise and it's been launched. So
this guy was on Fox thirty five news out of Orlando.
I copied and I pasted it. I copied and I
pasted it to you guys, So we gotta you gotta
give us the in depth. But he killed thirteen Gayors

(01:07:04):
September twenty fourth, Dude, what are you thinking? I mean, unbelievable,
But that's the latest Gator. That's the latest game.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Excellent, that's cool. For those that don't know, if you
haven't been with us all season long, earlier in the season,
maybe the first half, we had pretty extensive conversations about
gators just Roman Free in Florida. And as a matter
of fact, there's a latest story PGA golfer had was like,

(01:07:35):
I don't know, hitting a shot right near the water
there and he had his back turned. There was a
gator sitting right there looking at him, like fifteen feet away,
and his caddy had to run interference for him in
case the gator was going to charge him, but it
all worked out fine.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
So wow, it was Rory Michael Roy. I wish that
gator would have ate it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Don't recall the name of the guy. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 14 (01:07:58):
Hey, I was gonna I love it, man, we haven't
had any gator talk. I'm getting all fired up now
because you know it's a good diversion. But I gotta
tell you we were laughing so hard. Pipe. I don't
remember the name of that lady's dog, but she said,
all of a sudden, she got you know, she was
fighting off a gator that was dragging her puppy into

(01:08:19):
the pond. She said she was kind of surprised. Well, hell,
you're right next to a pond in Florida. They couldn't
jump out at you any dimes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
They warn you don't walk your dogs near near the water.
I mean, that's that's I think plain to see. All right,
one more thing, Johnny, thank you, Tim.

Speaker 14 (01:08:37):
I got one last thing. Why last thing, if I
may hit it? Okay, Well, pipe your life was spared
last year because think about it, you could have had
a gator smelling those prime ribs you were cooking on
the grill, and all it was was Freddy the frog.

Speaker 12 (01:08:54):
So you've been.

Speaker 14 (01:08:56):
Spared one of your nine lives.

Speaker 15 (01:08:57):
Well and like justin us, free.

Speaker 14 (01:09:01):
Of the pipe bomb, Brewer Nation.

Speaker 15 (01:09:03):
We will return game three.

Speaker 14 (01:09:05):
Let's just plush this. It's a new day Tomorrow, Thursday.
We got a new mindset. This is far from over.
You gotta believe I'm out great show tonight.

Speaker 12 (01:09:14):
Boys.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
I'm with you, Johnny, thank you, I'm I'm with you.
I'm not giving up here. And I know what the
what the numbers say, and I know down oh two.
We just had Sam point that out that it can
be done. And if there's ever a season in which
it can be done, wouldn't you think.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
It would be these guys this year?

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
Yeah, with the as many winning streaks as they went
on abs freaking lutely.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
That's right. It's almost like one rally.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Is gonna break burst the damn here mm hmm. That's
what it feels like for me. Get a couple of
men on with nobody out and see what happens. Put
some pressure on them. I think it's coming. I hope
it's coming, and I hope it happens on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
All right, who's well? All right, let's squeeze in, cousin Tim.
Then we got a break. Okay, cousin, what's up?

Speaker 10 (01:10:07):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Dude?

Speaker 10 (01:10:11):
Hey? I want some Freddie freeloading freckle snaps for tomorrow night.

Speaker 18 (01:10:16):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Okay, sounds great.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
That's that's a good cereal.

Speaker 10 (01:10:20):
I guess, you know, with some snap and crackle and pops.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Are you gonna throw that in your gulash?

Speaker 14 (01:10:32):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (01:10:32):
Oh that's funny, man, I love gulash. Dude, that's probably
one of the best losers, And.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
Damn all right, how about baseball? What you got on
the baseball?

Speaker 10 (01:10:41):
Well, i'll tell you what. Where's Yelich's m I eight's
missing an action? And then when you told me that
other stuff, whoever mentioned the word or whoever was that
you didn't it about these playoffs? Playoffs? He's like, playoffs, playoff?
I just play the regular season.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Dude, do you expect me to hit in the playoffs?

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
And sixty two?

Speaker 10 (01:11:08):
I'm not gonna hit in the playoffs?

Speaker 8 (01:11:11):
I mean, what was it?

Speaker 18 (01:11:12):
I mean?

Speaker 10 (01:11:13):
And what got me tonight? I'm trying. I'm gonna be
trying to try to be serious, but uh it's gonna
be pretty hard because, uh, okay, pitch pitching, Freddy, you freeloading?

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
No, No, this isn't Freddy's fault.

Speaker 10 (01:11:31):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 15 (01:11:32):
Well whoever called that pitch?

Speaker 18 (01:11:36):
No, every pitch.

Speaker 10 (01:11:40):
In these two games have been pitch selection.

Speaker 18 (01:11:45):
They were sitting on that crap that.

Speaker 10 (01:11:47):
They were throwing. They were sitting on it. Okay, and
then we gotta put the a lot of blame. I
Murphy too, because he put them in that position. Okay,
you're gonna throw, You're gonna throw what? No, you know
for walking, intentionally walking, show hol show Tommy or whatever

(01:12:08):
his damn name is. I don't care. You put so
much pressure on your rebay last night or well, I
don't know what today is it? Is it today?

Speaker 11 (01:12:16):
Today?

Speaker 10 (01:12:17):
Is it tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Today?

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:12:22):
Well, you know, intentionally walking him when that game would
have been tied. And then you have you know, was
it terrain he had to jump out of the way
from that pitch that would have tied the gate? I mean,
just so many things that I understand. You see a
ball coming at you, I get it, Okay, But man, dude,

(01:12:44):
take one for the team. Bro.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
Yeah, I'm sure if.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
You had to do it again, he would you would
be hit by the Pats for sure.

Speaker 18 (01:12:51):
You you know.

Speaker 10 (01:12:52):
I mean really, and what we saw from mid May
to now reflects nothing. What do we have? What are
our strengths on our team?

Speaker 9 (01:13:04):
I'll tell you what it is.

Speaker 10 (01:13:05):
We have some speed, we can make contact, but do
we have to go for the home run? And like
you said, Curio batting first is not for me because
he's batting basically after Ortiz. You can't hit the damn ball, Okay,
we hit the damn.

Speaker 18 (01:13:25):
Oh, he can't hit a beat.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Joe all right, we gotta go.

Speaker 10 (01:13:38):
Wait did I say it?

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
One more on more thing?

Speaker 10 (01:13:41):
One more thing?

Speaker 9 (01:13:41):
Let me do.

Speaker 10 (01:13:42):
He couldn't hit as he couldn't hit a sixteen inch ball, Okay,
a smull pit's sixteen inch ball with the baby sixteen softball.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Gosh, I hate it all game.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Thank you cousin, Thank you Tim twelve in softballs where
it's at. I think sixteen is such a cogo thing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
And that big old puffy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
You can't play baseball with that, man, there's a lot
less running you're able to field with a beer in
your hand?

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Yeah, yes, please, I mean that's a soccer ball.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
You're playing baseball with.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
Spongy, old, nasty, old, yucky old softball.

Speaker 13 (01:14:27):
Oh yeah, Freddy Frickle snaps, there is gonna be one
big hurricane hippo holler when the Brewers win on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
Yeah there is.

Speaker 7 (01:14:39):
Is it you?

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Or is it you?

Speaker 9 (01:14:41):
Or is it me?

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
This thing is not over. I'm grateful that the Brewers
are in the NLCS as we speak. I know a
lot of other teams would love to be in the
Brewers position right now. I don't know. That's a weird
way of making me feel better. That makes you feel
better than Okay, fine, but I'm not giving in on this.

(01:15:04):
I'm not giving up on this, Okay, Murph coming up
more reaction on the way Fox Sports nine to twenty
with the postgame show with Pottawatami Sportsbook bet above the
rest of five to one loss, down two games to
none here in the NLCS of the twenty five Championship season.
There's jeff Orlowski, Tim Allen, We'll be back after this, Fox.

Okay, the bad.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
News is they lose today, They're down two games to none.
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
The good news is, well, then, sort of good news.
We do have at least two more postgame shows to
go here at least, yes, sir, Okay, the finish line
might become and sooner than we think, but you never know.

(01:16:02):
And the Brewers, Hell, you've won a couple of games
in a row. I've heard that's occurred here in the
twenty five Championship season. Yeah, I've heard they've won back
to back games before, haven't you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Yes, Yes, this team a couple times, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
A few times, And boy wouldn't that change the dynamic
of everything?

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
So let's not just go off the deep end here.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
I know the odds look tough here, and you're looking
up at a big hill to climb. But let's just
hang in there, and my goodness, at the very least
Thursday and Friday will be fun, right and we get
to hang out together and talk Brewers baseball. Oh yeah,
after that, I'm not quite sure what's going to happen,

(01:16:47):
pipe bomb? Do you know what's going to happen?

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
You think anybody tells me anything?

Speaker 12 (01:16:51):
No, I have no.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
Idea twenty six championship season. It is a final and
where are we going to be and what's all that?
And I don't know. I don't know, And that's honest.

entire life. I know I should go. My brothers went,
He's been there. I haven't. I've never been to my
whole entire life there. I'm not a Dodger fan, so
I don't really.

Speaker 9 (01:18:26):
Care to go.

Speaker 7 (01:18:27):
I might go eventually, you know, but I want the
Brewers to shock the world right now. You know, I
still believe, you know, I still got confidence in them. Man,
So even I mean, if it goes three zero, I
mean that's when the backs against the wall and we
they just gotta win out. But if we take next game,
then then it's a little bit, you know, a little
pressure is off, you know what I mean, a little

(01:18:47):
pressures off because you know, everybody says, all the experts,
all Dodgers gonna win, Dodgers will win, you know what
I mean. So technically the Brew crew don't got nothing
to lose, like we weren't supposed to even be there.
The only thing they bring up all the time now
all you know, best records in baseball. And then if
we if if the Brukhu gets gets swept or gets eliminated,
now they're going to talk trash thy not. That doesn't

(01:19:08):
matter anyway, you know what I mean. Right right at
the end of the day, Man, it's not I agree
with It's not pretty profer's fall. He mean, you know,
he gave up three runs, you know what I mean?
Where is the offense at? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Well, and that's that's the thing. I got a text.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
I got a text to convey to you guys, uh
in the break there from my buddy Adam, and he said, hey,
that doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
It make you think about the moves you didn't make.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
Uh at the deadline here for some offense, Naylor and
Suarez doing some damage in the postseason.

Speaker 7 (01:19:40):
That's true, that's true, you know what I mean.

Speaker 11 (01:19:42):
But we made it.

Speaker 7 (01:19:44):
And I think too, like I said, like Blake's now
he went on, he went all out. I mean, uh,
what's his name? What's the Dodgers pitcher today?

Speaker 9 (01:19:53):
Moto?

Speaker 7 (01:19:53):
He went all out?

Speaker 16 (01:19:55):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:19:55):
But like I said, when do we need to see
these again? These these are like once in a lifetime
performances because they know they got to step up, because
they know their bullpen is not good. That's why that's
why they sent him out to do the whole nine.
Any baby, we get to their bullpen, or if we
have a lead, I know we have that one run lead,
but if we put a crooked number up, like you said, Tim,
now they're chasing. Now, well, in.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Game four, you win Game three, Game four, the pressure
I think kind of flips to the Dodgers.

Speaker 12 (01:20:21):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
I think they're they're a little bit uh you know,
you got you got a nice gut punch in and
they're they're back on their heels just a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
It's a big game on on Thursday, and.

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
Then we'll see, we'll see what happens. Because like Seattle
took the two games and Toronto. Who knows, maybe the
Brewers picked the two games in l a May. It's
a vice versus thing could be.

Speaker 9 (01:20:40):
I mean, by the end of the.

Speaker 7 (01:20:41):
Day, if it goes all the way to seven, I'm cool.
I just I just want them to shock the world.
That's the period thing they say, because every like I said,
you know all the people, and if you're not a
Brewer fan, or if you're not a Dodger hater, that's
what people would say. Everybody picking the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Yeah, I get you, I got you. Well, we're gonna
turn you loose. But I do want to congratulate you
when your Carolina Panthers beating the Cowboys the other day,
So I thought about you.

Speaker 7 (01:21:09):
Go go pack go all right?

Speaker 12 (01:21:13):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
Vincent Linsen there in Anaheim, California, as he's been hanging
out with us for a year chunk of years, yeah,
about ten years.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Yeah, that's awesome. He always he always brings up positivity.
You can always every time he calls you, hear the
smile on his face he is.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
I'm telling you, if if I ever get out in
that area, man, I'd like to have a beer with him, absolutely, yeah,
I really would. It just seems like a happy, happy dude.
Justin can be happy at times and other times, man,
things can get to him.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Justin what he say?

Speaker 18 (01:21:58):
You know, Vincent brought up I'm a Moto and Snell
had a great game, and I do agree with him.
But then the problem is you got a billion dollars
on the mound game three and a billion dollars on
the mound game four. Like get it when I sit
back here and I look at this, and I man,
I love the Milwaukee Brewers. I mean, it's tough for Vincent.

(01:22:21):
You got all them damn teams and you still lose it.

Speaker 7 (01:22:23):
Like it just doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 18 (01:22:25):
Jesus crazy, pick some damn winners. I'm gonna tell you
what I hate though, right, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
What's that?

Speaker 15 (01:22:34):
I hate?

Speaker 18 (01:22:35):
I hate Rob Manfred, I hate Cookie Johnson, I hate
Magic Johnson. What's the boy's name, Walter Donald, Brandon Domes.
I hate all these people affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
And we're gonna go ahead throw Manford in there too,
because you allow this BS to happen. Man, I'm sorry,
You're not gonna sit here and cry over spoiled milk
and all that bs, but it's it's just ridiculous. Man.

(01:22:59):
You look at that lineup from one to nine, and
you look at our lineup. Yeah, we got some good dudes.
We got some guys we like to get behind, you know,
we like Bryce Terrain. The Bryce Terrain is starting on
their team. Hell no, is Jackson Terial starting in the outfield.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
They that team couldn't find room for Gavin Luckson. He's
he's one hell of a ballplayer, he is. They couldn't
find room for him.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
That's what the bar is.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
Again. I won't get into the money part of it
justin but I will just say this, it has to change,
and I believe it will change.

Speaker 18 (01:23:35):
And the money thing isn't a shot at Antonazio either, right,
because when you look at the totality of these contracts,
you're talking about over a couple billion dollars. So I
don't expect Mark to do that. But this seat, right,
it has been great. And I'm not saying that in
past his but I kind of im because when you're
looking at it, hey, if you want to be on,

(01:23:57):
don't it pat you go do that? You go do
you win four Morgans these dudes. But I just feel
like it's just really set up. And then you guys
that the text message about this guy or that guy.
I mean, all right, putting Naylor input sores on his team,
I still don't think that's enough. You're talking about four
guys that would leave anywhere, and they would be numero

(01:24:19):
uno on that roster. However, the Gentleman brought it up
earlier about the Yankees, but we saw it back in
twenty one too. I don't know if any other callers
brought it up, but those Milwaukee Bucks were down oh
two in Phoenix, backs against the wall, getting their ass
wiped all up and down the court, and somehow who

(01:24:39):
let them? Jannis led them? So who's our Giannis for baseball?
Either it's Cheerio, either it's Yellis. But we just gotta
win one, win one?

Speaker 1 (01:24:51):
Come on, now, it's not crazy.

Speaker 18 (01:24:54):
It's like when you're watching a no hitter, You're like,
just break the hit, all right, now, break the shutout?
Oh holy hell? Let when is damn baseball games? I'm
just I don't know, man, I'm kind of I'm still
kind of dejected. Man. I thought we had a good shot.
I'm not gonna blame Freddie I'm not gonna blame Murphy.
I mean, the outfield was a little bit questionable tonight.
I understand why you put Bowers in there, but I

(01:25:16):
think we saw a couple of fly balls that don't
hit the ground if you had a different left fielder
in there. But we were hoping that Bowers gave us one,
and he was pretty close. I mean, these guys are
all good baseball players. The thing is, and I'll go
after this, man. I got a question that we'll get
up out of here. How many Hall of Famers are

(01:25:37):
on the Dodgers team right now compared to the Brewers?
How many All Stars on the Dodgers compared to the Brewers,
like David and Goliath and Dave Roberts. Punk Ass tried
to downplay what Murphy said. No, Murphy was spot on
what he said. You're it's just so much, man, It's

(01:25:57):
just so much that.

Speaker 9 (01:25:58):
It may.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Almost every night, yeah, almost almost every single pre and
post game he brings up the money.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
To my knowledge, I think every time.

Speaker 4 (01:26:09):
Well, and Dave Roberts seems like the millionaire who spends
one hundred and fifty dollars on a pair of ripped
ass jeans like the reason why ripped jeans were ripped
jeans back in the day is because you worked hard
and you still wore them because you didn't have You didn't,
you know, either have a lot of money or time
to go out and buy a new pair. Now people
are dropping two hundo on jeans that come already pre shredded.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
What the hell are you thinking?

Speaker 18 (01:26:35):
Well, there, sometimes you got those teams from the city conferences,
from Beckham Stapleton, and you go out there and you
beat them country club suburban kids. And that's what these
kids are, man, Freddie Freeman, you're a punk. I just
don't like you. I don't like Mookie Betts, I don't
like a I don't like none of them. And I
don't like Dodger fans because they're smug and they're saying, well,
my team did it, Why can't tours? Yeah, because we're
gonna mortgage our future. I mean, god damn it. You

(01:26:57):
got people on a team that are worth more than
Miller and and America fambin. But it's just not apples
and apples.

Speaker 9 (01:27:05):
Man.

Speaker 18 (01:27:06):
I really hate these people, man, I promise you I
probably hate them mor than cups fit. I really do.
And if you're an LA Dodger fan. You listen to
this podcast and all that stuff, I hope you go
step on a rake if you're a dude and drop
your nuts on.

Speaker 19 (01:27:17):
The ground free.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Oh wow, that escalating quickly get a win?

Speaker 6 (01:27:24):
Man it?

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Well, we'll hear what ails you and us.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
Absolutely, I'm still I'm still gonna stay positive until further notice.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
I am now.

Speaker 1 (01:27:35):
I am I concerned. Yes, I mean, I'm not that dumb.
We should be concerned. But don't count them out. Every
time you do, they prove us wrong. They do. All right,
let's let's get to Murph as his team falls in
Game two of this year's ANNULCS. The twenty five Championship
season still has a ways to go here, But here's Murph.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
After the loss.

Speaker 20 (01:27:58):
Just the way Smell and the Yamamoto have been able
to be in complete control and kind of dictate the
the at bats through the duration of the game. What
have you seen specifically tonight?

Speaker 19 (01:28:09):
I mean they were both great.

Speaker 21 (01:28:11):
You know, both those pitchers were as dominant as two
pitchers have been. You know, we chased way more than
then We've chased uh all year. We've been the best
in baseball and not chasing UH. These pitchers brought out
the worse than us. Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:28:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:28:30):
If I would have told you that the Dodgers are
going to score seven runs in two games, and what
was the outcome in the first two games, I'd say
there's a chance we won one of them.

Speaker 19 (01:28:38):
For sure. Our pitching is.

Speaker 11 (01:28:42):
Beat up, you know that.

Speaker 21 (01:28:43):
I mean it was the emotional series with the Cubs,
and then our pitching has been so we weren't as sharp.
But I thought Freddie pitch well, and you know, I
thought Ashby came in and did a great job. Gasser
came in and did a great job. Anderson came in
and did a great job. So we had some we
had some good performances. But offensively, you've got to grind

(01:29:05):
out at batts and that's that's what been r Forte.
The ball strike has been really at the core of
our offensive success. And sometimes great pitching brings out the
worst in you.

Speaker 18 (01:29:20):
A few from.

Speaker 19 (01:29:23):
Right up in the front and then go back to
the currents.

Speaker 22 (01:29:26):
Did did Freddy have to convince you to stay for
the sixth?

Speaker 16 (01:29:29):
And was that a tough decision?

Speaker 8 (01:29:30):
No?

Speaker 19 (01:29:31):
No, he's throwing about great.

Speaker 16 (01:29:32):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:29:32):
He gave up one pitch in the in the sixth
to give up a homer to Months. He and the
three to two pitch missed the spot. But I mean
Months he's got the most home runs and Dodger history
in the postseason, so you know, he's a very talented
guy that's seen Freddy a bunch. But yeah, that was
I mean, that wasn't the difference in the game. He
went out there and did the job.

Speaker 23 (01:29:53):
Ay, what is your pitching plan now for Game three,
whether it's ktan or otherwise, and more generally, after having
used as many guys as you've had to, you know,
how do you feel about your staff overall?

Speaker 21 (01:30:04):
I mean it's it's like anything else, you know, like
if you're trying to go for it and win it all.
Because it's a three run game or four run game,
you're still trying to win, you know what I mean,
So anything can happen. So we use six guys, and
we use a lot of guys in a five game
series against the Cups, so.

Speaker 19 (01:30:23):
We're more depleted than the Dodgers are.

Speaker 21 (01:30:26):
But none of that matters. It's about playing whatever we
play on Thursday. It's about playing Thursday. Everybody will be
available with your steps into Freddy and we'll attack them.

Speaker 19 (01:30:36):
Yeah, most likely he's going to pitch, but I don't
know who's the ball yet. We'll see. We've got some
options there, Jared.

Speaker 22 (01:30:48):
Given the way postseason baseball has been played in recent years,
how surprising was it to you to see two starters
pitching in the eighth and ninth in any playoff games
two days in a row. And what does that sort
of mean?

Speaker 19 (01:31:00):
Well, when they're when they're that's a good question.

Speaker 21 (01:31:02):
When they're that good, you know, it's it is surprising,
But they're that good, you know, And they were dominant.
Both guys were dominant for seventeen innings. And so hats
off to those two guys. They deserve all the credit,
and they really do. They deserve all the credit. That

(01:31:23):
catcher Smith deserves a ton of credit because he was
right with him in tune in the game and very
impressive for those those seventeen innings were as good as
I've seen. So the one thing is, you guys might
have us counted out. And I understand that nine of
the teams that have been in this situation don't win

(01:31:45):
the series. This team has been counted out a lot
this year, and I think there's some fight left in him,
and it'll be a little tougher path right doing it
on the road. But we swept the Dodgers early in
the year on the road, so at least there's some capability.
I know the Dodgers weren't the same team then, but
you know, ten times this year we've won.

Speaker 19 (01:32:06):
Four in a row, so that's also a possibility. I
still like our team.

Speaker 21 (01:32:11):
I know that, you know, we didn't swing the back
the last two days, but I don't think a lot
of teams would would have crushed those two guys the
last two days. But yeah, we could do better.

Speaker 20 (01:32:23):
It's now obviously I went heavy on the change ups
yesterday and then yeah, a mooto. He's got a deep mix,
but you know, a lot of the off speed kind
of hiding the fastball to two degree. Do you feel
like that's a concerted effort from them to counter the
aggressiveness that you guys typically have on fastballs in the zone.

Speaker 19 (01:32:39):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 21 (01:32:41):
The difference is the quality of the off speed. You know,
this guy split looks like a heater comes out of
the same tunnel. It looks exactly the same. He's got
an impeccable delivery, so he doesn't miss a lot, and
the ball shows up as a heater, Bang goes down
and his heater shows up as a heater and then rises.
So it's it's pretty impressive, but you have to battle

(01:33:05):
foul off pitches, run his pitch and do whatever they
have they have to do. And you know it's been
it's been put in our face now for for two days.
Two great performances, but that doesn't mean the series is over.
Murph will take one more in the lost Yeah, sure, Murf.

Speaker 23 (01:33:22):
When Jackson takes out the first pitch, you've got to
think that there's something good, that the building's live. How
quickly did it feel like that that came back down though?
And was that a part of it?

Speaker 21 (01:33:32):
That young Moto just kind of got right back to
business and and you.

Speaker 19 (01:33:35):
Know, you know, it's funny. I'd like to do a study.
I have no idea what the answer is, but in
my experience.

Speaker 21 (01:33:41):
When you lead off with the home run in the game,
it doesn't ensure anything, you know, I mean, I bet
you the record isn't as isn't as good. I mean
it comes did it to us how many times twice?
And lost both those games? Or do they win one
of them. I bet you I'd be willing to say that.

(01:34:03):
It can be kind of a curse, you know what
I mean, Not that anybody wouldn't take it, but I think, Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:34:10):
The building was live, the crowd was great. The last
two days. Our crowd's great. They're disappointing. You know, they
think it's over.

Speaker 21 (01:34:16):
Probably, you know, ninety percent of the teams that are
rowed two at home don't come back.

Speaker 19 (01:34:21):
But I don't think it's over. I don't know why.

Speaker 21 (01:34:24):
I admire this team. I've said it all along. I
like who they are, I know where they came from,
and I don't think they'll be surprised if they come
back and play really well.

Speaker 7 (01:34:38):
Kurt, I have one more quick one.

Speaker 11 (01:34:41):
Murphed with Yelich.

Speaker 20 (01:34:42):
Think he's over his last seventeen now since Game three?
What do you got to do to get him going again?
With how important he is.

Speaker 19 (01:34:48):
To that whole yell.

Speaker 21 (01:34:49):
He's a twelve year veteran. He knows how to play
this game. He's getting pitched really really tough. They're very
aware of his abilities. At twenty nine homers this year,
oven over one hundred runs. Yeah, that's a really small
sample size, I know, it's critical because it's now.

Speaker 19 (01:35:11):
But I'm not worried that Yellie won't respond.

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
Yeah, I'm I'm hoping he responds.

Speaker 1 (01:35:18):
But I there's there's a track record here in the
postseason Murph that is quite concerning for Christian Yelich.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
It just keeps getting longer and longer.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
It does, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.
I mean, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
I don't make the numbers up. Christian does well on
the pitchers due to a degree, when other other players
seem to handle it in the postseason. El Jackson Curio,
what was he the youngest youngest hitter to to lead
off with a home run in baseball history? Actually today

(01:35:58):
was the second youngest. Last year it was him being
the youngest.

Speaker 14 (01:36:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
Yeah, so he's the youngest and the second youngest. He
seems to be getting it done. So twenty five postseason
games right around two twenty eight. That may maybe down
to twenty seven by now. But just a couple of
home runs, three RBIs in twenty five games. The RBIs

(01:36:26):
are the concerning thing. Does he draws walk? Sure he
gets some sporadic walks here and there, but it's got
to change. Yelly, and maybe going back home to California
is going to be the elixir at Dodger Stadium and
just go off on one of those tears, Let's hope, so,
you know, go go, you know, four for seven with

(01:36:48):
a couple of home runs and five RBIs in the
two games Thursday Friday. We'll see what happens. Let's hear
from Christian Yelich before we take this break.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Here's Yelly.

Speaker 24 (01:37:00):
You mean, just where do you think this leaves you
as a club going into la Obviously you still see
a path to winning this series?

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
Where does it start?

Speaker 25 (01:37:10):
Yeah, I mean, we just got to play better.

Speaker 26 (01:37:13):
You know, it's not ideal start to the series by
any means, Like, it's not what you want to get
off to. But I just gotta continue to battle and
you know, find a way to get the offense going.
You know, I gotta be better. We gotta be better.
Just facts, you know, So fill out tonight, take you
off here tomorrow and if you're ready to battle in

(01:37:35):
game three.

Speaker 24 (01:37:38):
When you look at that offensively you and you face
two really good pictures. You seem to be on what's
your analysis of via bats of the way the guys.

Speaker 3 (01:37:46):
Are swinging the bat.

Speaker 26 (01:37:48):
Yeah, I mean, no doubt they're great pictures, right, But
you face great pictures in the postseason, Like that's just
how it is. That's why it's the postseason and the LCS,
and then you advanced the World Series.

Speaker 25 (01:37:58):
You can face a good team.

Speaker 26 (01:37:59):
So you gotta find a way to put together some
quality at bats, get some good swings off which we
did a couple of times.

Speaker 25 (01:38:06):
You know, he hit the bot hard at.

Speaker 26 (01:38:07):
People, but we just didn't do it consistently enough to
to generate much offense. And you know, they made pitches
for sure, but you know, you gotta find a way
to kind of get something going. Yeah, when you see
a first pitch home run by Jackson her and taking
good thoughts.

Speaker 25 (01:38:24):
You know yeah, I mean, of course, that's a great,
great way to start to night.

Speaker 6 (01:38:27):
You know.

Speaker 26 (01:38:28):
But then you know he was able to kind of
settle the make a lot of good pitches, calm everything down, and.

Speaker 25 (01:38:36):
You know, obviously my complete game, so we weren't able
to do a ton off back.

Speaker 26 (01:38:41):
He went pretty heavy on the splitter against you guys,
and there was a lot of against that pitch the
box and he was throwing that pitch.

Speaker 7 (01:38:49):
Well, what is that.

Speaker 25 (01:38:53):
He's just was moving late.

Speaker 26 (01:38:56):
You know, he did a good good job of like
setting it up a lot, setting up those pitches. It's
good sequencing, and he just made a tough ones, you know,
keeping everybody off balance, and he's doing a really good
job of like landing it at the bottom and then
you know, going just below that and saying with the
breaking balls.

Speaker 25 (01:39:15):
You know, he's phenomenal.

Speaker 19 (01:39:17):
Night he threw four consecutive a splitter.

Speaker 1 (01:39:20):
I guess were you surprised by that?

Speaker 19 (01:39:24):
I don't know us.

Speaker 25 (01:39:25):
I know, I know he throws it.

Speaker 26 (01:39:26):
You know, it's a good pitch, so I can't say
that you're surprised. And you did a good job of executing.
You kind of just kept going lower and lower with it.
But yeah, I mean he kind of approached each at
bat different.

Speaker 25 (01:39:40):
They weren't. It wasn't really kind of the same attack
plan every time. So you know, he's a great picture
for a reason, and credit to him to night.

Speaker 24 (01:39:49):
Yes, you're at bats in this postseason where do you
feel like you're at.

Speaker 1 (01:39:54):
Not the best?

Speaker 26 (01:39:55):
You know, started out good and then kind of just
did a little bit of a rough patch here in
the last few games.

Speaker 25 (01:40:00):
An unfortunate time for that to happen. But you know,
I've got to be better. I got to figure it out.
And that's just how it goes.

Speaker 24 (01:40:06):
You know, when you're in those spots.

Speaker 19 (01:40:08):
How do you figure it out?

Speaker 24 (01:40:09):
When you're in the midst of these games wherever at
that it's what it is.

Speaker 25 (01:40:13):
Yeah, I mean, you don't have a lot of time,
so you got to do it quickly.

Speaker 26 (01:40:17):
Let's keep out and keep going out there, keep trying
to make adjustments, work on stuff on the off days
before the game, and I'm just looking for that one
where it kind of clicks and you just get a
few guys going and you know, make a series of it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
Well, he's right, there's Christian Yelli's He is right. You
got to figure it out because we're counting on you.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
Yellye hello.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
I know it's easier said than done, and hitting a
baseball is tough. Other guys seem to do it though.
You know that We've heard that a million times.

Speaker 1 (01:40:51):
You realize you you, uh, sports talk show hosts, You
realize how hard it is to hit you know ninety seven. Well, no,
but I know other guys do, and other guys seem
to have success.

Speaker 4 (01:41:08):
I'm just saying, yeah, you got Churio who is massively
out playing you and correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Uh, Churio has never been MLB and VP, so not
up and start hitting.

Speaker 1 (01:41:25):
Yeah, it doesn't mean I don't like you any any less.
Christian everybody in a Brewers uniform. Man, I'm I'm I'm
with you. But you gotta figure it out. Man, this
isn't just this series. You gotta get going. We're gonna
be spending another year without a World Series. I'm not

(01:41:46):
going to pin it all on you, of course, And
I agree with almost everything you said right there. Facts
he was.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
He was just saying we got to be better.

Speaker 18 (01:41:54):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
That's that's the bottom line. But the really the one
point that stuck out for me is I got to
figure it out. Yeah you do. Now. My concern is
when he's going bad, you will see weaker contact to
the right side and in front of the picture.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
That's the tough part. That's the tough pill for.

Speaker 1 (01:42:19):
Me to swallow when I want to have hope with
him figuring things out. Uh, that's soft contact, man, That
is tough. When he's going well, if he rolls on one,
it's not really a rollovers it's hit pretty good, it's
barreled up to the second basement. But when you're doing

(01:42:39):
a three hopper to the first and second basement and
then just a little duffer in front of the picture,
that's typically over the years, and trust me, I've been
following you, Christian over the years. That's when you're not
going good. And it's not anytime soon. It just doesn't
turn on and off like that. So the rest of

(01:43:00):
the team's gonna have to give Christian a little leeway here,
a little runway to get going.

Speaker 3 (01:43:07):
Well, there's not a whole lot of runway left down.

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
Oh two, true, that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
All right, We'll get to Hunter, who is at American
Family Field Brewers Fall in game two of the NLCS
here in the twenty five Championship season, digging a hole
and trying to dig out. We'll talk to a Hunter
after the break here. Postgame show with Potawatamy sports Book
on Fox Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:43:28):
Nine to twenty and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
Yeah, final couple of minutes of the postgame show here
with Potawatamy Sportsbook bet above the rest on Fox Sports
nine to twenty and the iHeartRadio app. A programming note
that we'll be talking Brewers special edition of Playoff Push
tomorrow at five o'clock. Despite the off day, we're gonna

(01:43:54):
Not on this station here, but we will be on
the iHeartRadio app, and as I said, on the Game
Now work throughout the state of Wisconsin. And then on Thursday,
Playoff Push gonna happen at two pm, same deal, and
then postgame pregame show and postgame show. We haven't it

(01:44:14):
all for you, so stay in tune with the socials
here on the iHeartRadio app and on Twitter and Facebook
and Hunter you handle that most of that stuff yourself anyway, So.

Speaker 2 (01:44:27):
We'll get the word out.

Speaker 1 (01:44:28):
A lot of Brewer programming yet to go this week,
and hopefully a lot more baseball to be played, Hunters.
Some concerning numbers here, obviously the final five to one,
But you know, in the series thus far, you've scored
a couple of runs on just five hits runners in
scoring position. Yeah, what's that? Because they almost haven't had

(01:44:50):
any with runners in scoring position outside of the ninth
inning yesterday. But you ran into another pitcher, and that's
what happens when you try to ambush early. I noticed
the aggressive nature at the plate that can cost you
if it doesn't work out.

Speaker 16 (01:45:05):
Right exactly, And you want this team to be relentless
like they have been all season long, but then you
get to a point where you're constantly trying to get
you know, you're really Yamamoto's pitch count was so low
that he could go throughout the entire game and you
never got into that bullpen. The weakness of the Dodgers
is their bullpen, and you've only gotten them for one
inning and that was one of your Honestly, you're probably

(01:45:28):
your best inning of the series so far. So yeah,
it's it's as much as you want to attack, attack,
and he was, Look, he's a guy that throws a
lot of strikes. He threw a ton of strikes tonight.
I believe it was like one hundred plus pitches and
only like thirty some balls if.

Speaker 1 (01:45:43):
That two I think were strikes.

Speaker 16 (01:45:47):
Yeah, so right, so you look at yeah, so it
was let me see here, so now this was the
final number was one eleven pitch count, eighty one strike one.

Speaker 1 (01:46:00):
Okay, it was seventy two heading into the ninth exactly exactly.

Speaker 16 (01:46:04):
So you're talking eighty one to thirty. So I get
being aggressive because there's gonna be you know, pitches around
the zone because the guy's throwing a lot of strikes.
But as we mentioned, that can then get to keep
the pitch count low for you immodo, you never end
up getting into that bullpen and.

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
He didn't grind it.

Speaker 1 (01:46:20):
You didn't grind with a bunch of foul balls either,
and that that definitely did not help. They're gonna have
to get back to doing that come Thursdays. Just grind
these bats out.

Speaker 16 (01:46:32):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:46:32):
But the offense, I think is the biggest concern. We
just heard from Christian Yelich, and you know he's gonna
have to figure it out. I couldn't agree with him more.
I didn't disagree with anything he said there. He was
throwing facts at you guys, and he's absolutely gonna have
to figure it out.

Speaker 16 (01:46:49):
Yeah, it's one of the biggest things in the postseason
is you need your stars to play like stars now.
To be honest with you, Dodgers, you know have toany's
had an awful postseason. Yeah, you know at the plate
so that you know they're they're still getting production because
of how deep they are and how deep that lineup
is the you don't necessarily need your It's like it's

(01:47:12):
wild because you think of the stars on it. It's
like the stars in that lineup, they're really like the
Hall of Famers in that lineup. And then you look
at the stars, are you know, your six seven hitters,
so to speak. But it's it's so but for the
Brewer's sake, that middle of the order, right that Terrank
and Treras, Yelich, especially guys like Contraras, Yellich and Turio,

(01:47:33):
for them to produce, for them to win, they need
to be producing. You look at that CUB series that
they at least had a better series. You know, I
know Yelich didn't end the series well, but who hit that?
You know, hit home run in game five, Contraras hit
a home run in game five. You know Churio obviously
with one Tonight and then he had a moment early
in that series as well. So you need your guys

(01:47:54):
in the middle of that lineup to produce, and so
far they just have not gotten it. Again, you had
a one for four night from Terraanga, one for for Trump,
Churio home run, I get it. That's great, But then
Contreras is over Yelich was oh for Vaughan, was ol
for durban z oh for bau Ers over right. So
you would go through that lineup and you look at
guys have zero's in the hit column. You just you

(01:48:14):
need you need more than that. And I get it.
It's really good pitching, and you give credit and tip
your cap where credit is due, and doctors have insane
this crazy rotation.

Speaker 1 (01:48:23):
But you might not ever see it again. You might
not eight in a in a championship series. I don't know.
We might go years without seeing this again. Where eight
innings and then followed.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
Up by nine innings. I mean that that's just so
such a rarity.

Speaker 1 (01:48:40):
But you know, some of that is created by the offense,
and I get it, and a lot of it is
created by that starter being unfortunately for the Brewers on
that particular night. But uh so, one of the things. Now,
the Brewers have scored nine runs in their last five games,

(01:49:00):
and they've lost four of their last five in the postseason. Here,
normally that would be boy are they still alive after
doing that? But they are. And but let's let's take
a look at some of these batting averages through these
seven games. Now, again, these sample sizes are small. These

(01:49:21):
numbers can can pivot on a dime, and but for
right now, all we can go on is the five
games into the postseason. The best of five went to
five in the NLDS and then to hear these first
two in the NLCS, so the numbers are somewhat limited.
You had a nine run out put in game one

(01:49:42):
of the NLDS to followed up with a seven spot,
so you did have some success. That being said, the
ensuing five games not so much, just a total of
nine runs.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
But what are some of these averages for these guys.

Speaker 16 (01:49:58):
Let's start with Jake Bauers, because even with going over
three tonight, he's still three seventy five in the playoffs,
and you know, I know he hasn't gotten many at bats,
but overall he's still good. That ops is sitting at
one point three one nine uh for Jake Bowers in
the playoffs. But then Churio three twenty uh, he's he's
up there as well, performing yep, absolutely, but then it

(01:50:21):
really drops off. They have a Durban at two twenty seven,
you have a Contreras at two twenty two. You have
a free lick at two seventeen. You have a Yelich
at one ninety two, a Terrang at one forty three,
Vaughn's at one ninety, Artis at one seventy five. Collins

(01:50:42):
over Monasterio. I don't know if he's gotten in that
bad yet, but yeah, so those are your again, you know,
Terrag one forty three, Contraras two twenty two, Yellich one
ninety two, Vaughan one ninety. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:55):
I mean that's that's that's not a good postseason.

Speaker 16 (01:50:58):
No, it's it's really not.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
And so they're gonna have to get back to doing
what they do and I expect some of that on Thursday,
I really do. In terms of the lineup, I'm gonna
go ahead and guess that offensively, Perkins is gonna be
back out there in center field. That's an expanse in
Dodger Stadium, and there's a lot of ground to cover

(01:51:23):
out there. So I'm gonna guess that Perkins to be
back into center field, Freelick back in the right. You're
gonna have to roll the dice on Urio there in
left field. You did have for those that wanted Bowers,
Vaughn and Yelich all in the same lineup you got
it tonight and it did not work out in terms
of offensive output, but that's gonna be your outfield. So

(01:51:48):
my guess is this is somewhat of a predictable offensive
lineup for Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:51:54):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 16 (01:51:55):
I don't want to speculate. I don't like speculating, and
there's no information in this that I know. But and
they haven't said anything. But when Yelich has not performed
this season, it's been when his back is hurting him,
like just point blank. He's also not played left field,
and Churio has been hurt this entire playoffs. So I

(01:52:17):
just putting that together. And again I do not know this,
and I don't want to put words in Yellich's mouth
or anything like that. And maybe he's feeling one hundred
percent fine, but I just you put those two things
together and you just wonder a little bit. Now, Yes,
I do agree. I think Churio will be out there.

(01:52:37):
I think Perkins will be out there. I think Freelake
is out there. And as it stands right now, it's
probably your best defensive outfield obviously, and like you mentioned earlier,
you wanted to try Bauers in the starting lineup. He's
been like I just mentioned your hottest hitter in the postseason.
Throw him in there. See what happens. I do think
they go back to that game, you know, that cub series,
Game one, game two, Game five lineup, and see what

(01:53:00):
you can do against now you face Glass now and
then oh yeah, game four, who got oh yeah, this
guy named sho Hey Otani. You know, it's like, oh
my goodness. But hey, at the end of the day,
you're in the NLCS. Anything can happen. I know, you know,
Pat Murphy says, you know, it's you know, it's not over.
It's not over. And it's it's not it's not you're
you you lost two games. You haven't even lost three

(01:53:22):
games yet. I know you're going to LA, but who
knows what happens? And you know that, like I said
the other night, the first pitch is three oh eight
Pacific time on Thursday. It's not gonna probably be full
crowd right then and there. Take advantage of the early
innings on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:53:37):
And see what I be. So that's that's five O
eight Central. Mm hmm, yep, okay, five oid Central. On Thursday,
pipe Bomb brought up a point earlier in the show,
and Pat Murphy was all over it too, and and
I was impressed with that, and we have discussed it
before on this show. It appears to to pipe bomb

(01:53:59):
that when you hit a lead off home run a
lot of times, it's like the only thing you get. Yeah,
And it came came to be true tonight. And then
Murph was all over that, and he didn't have any
numbers to back it up.

Speaker 2 (01:54:14):
But I've we've noticed it.

Speaker 1 (01:54:16):
We've talked about it on this show, and it's almost
like I'd rather get a bunch of runners on base,
get the pitch count up, and do some damage in
the second or third because it does seem like Pitcher settles.

Speaker 16 (01:54:30):
In after that totally. I yeah, and that pipe bomb
he's a smart guy.

Speaker 3 (01:54:34):
Ye, thanks guys, he is.

Speaker 16 (01:54:41):
I'll tell you that much. And and look it. Yeah,
but Murph obviously pointed it out. It does kind of
seem that way. He talked about the CUB series and
how you know they have some home runs and then
you don't score anything after that. Uh, it is wild
how that happened. I mean, first pitch Yamamoto through and
then he threw one hundred and ten after that and
shut them down the rest of the way, like you think.

(01:55:02):
You think about that, right, and one swing compared to
the rest, and then you couldn't. The tough part was
you didn't get the shutdown inning. The Dodgers immediately had
the lead in the top half of the next inning.
And and that's the tough part too. And look, Freddy,
five and two thirds three yearned runs, that's not horrible.
That's that's you know, only one walk, four strike. Baalancy

(01:55:22):
did give up the two home runs, five hits, But
you know that that wasn't a horrible performance. Kept in it.
And and I think it just continues to come back
to the offense.

Speaker 1 (01:55:32):
Yeah, Murph said it didn't the pitch to month Seed
didn't cost him the game. I agree with that, sure,
But I think it was a bigger pitch than people think.
You keep that game through six, well, the top half
of the six at two to one, Hunter, I'm not
sure we're talking about a five to one Dodgers win.
I'm not convinced of that. That pitch right there on

(01:55:54):
three to two, you fed them a fastball. You missed
your spot. Fastball never should have been thrown. That's should
have been, Hey, I'll live to pitch another another day
because that would have been it if he walks him.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
But that should have been a breaking ball right there.

Speaker 1 (01:56:09):
If Munsey got the breaking ball, I'm fine with that,
But to feed him a fastball right there, I thought
that was the worst pitch. That the Brewers through tonight
and keep it at two to one, and maybe something
better happens. All right, final thing here on Thursday. You
see you mentioned to Glass now and then Otani three
and four in LA and the Brewers TBD both days.

(01:56:34):
What do you think is going to happen here on
Thursday with regards to either an opener or a Quintana
just taking the ball to start?

Speaker 16 (01:56:43):
Who knows? Like it's like been so interesting how they've
done this, where like other than Freddy Peralta, they just
don't name guys. And you know, you know, when asked
pregame about Jose Kintana, I think, you know, Pat Murphy
kind of get the yeah, likely he would pitch on
on Thursday, he said maybe tonight as well. Heard that, yeah,

(01:57:06):
but he obviously didn't pitch tonight, so I would think
he'll be in the mix. Does he start the game?
I don't know they might go with an opener again,
we shall see.

Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
Well why well, I mean, you got some lefties there,
so why.

Speaker 16 (01:57:22):
Why would you?

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
I agree?

Speaker 1 (01:57:24):
Right? I?

Speaker 16 (01:57:25):
I agree. I think if I were, if I were,
if I were the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, I
that reveals a lot more. And I'm glad he's the
guy in charge. But I would go Hosey Kintana and
from the first inning and see how long he can go.
Because you need some It's a seven game series. You
want to get back into this thing. You're gonna want
to You're gonna have to win four out of five.
You're gonna the earliest you can win this thing is

(01:57:46):
game six. You have at least four more games in
this series. You're gonna have to get some linked out
of guys. And I would go with the guy who's
been there, done that, starting wise, and so yeah, I
would think I would, yeah, use jose Kintana. But they've
done this things so many times that it's hard for
me to predict that it won't be an opener.

Speaker 1 (01:58:04):
How are we seven games into the postseason and Jana
does not have a star Hunter.

Speaker 16 (01:58:09):
I was thinking about that tonight, and it's it's possible
that look, he was not pitching great towards the end
of the year. I talked about this with a little
bit with Jack Stern from Brewer Fanatic and just some
of the number, just some of the things, just you know,
he may have looked the results, may have looked good
on paper in that Cubs outing, but overall, I just

(01:58:32):
wonder how comfortable they are sending him out there, right,
that's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:58:36):
So whether that's an injury or their comfort journ with
his stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:58:41):
Right, yep, I think there's one of two. I would
lean towards comfort zone with stuff, just because it seems
like he's been healthy. Although maybe it's nagging a little bit. Heck,
Freddy Peralta was nagging with that hip thing that we
didn't really know about. I guess, so there's you know,
everybody's a little beat up at this point of the year.
But yeah, I again I would go with King Tana,
but I wouldn't be surprised King Tana will pitch on Thursday.

(01:59:03):
I shocked if he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:59:05):
And and if it is King Tana, followed up by Misowski,
could be then who pitches on in Game four?

Speaker 16 (01:59:15):
Uh? Tobias Myers here game four starting Chad Patrick.

Speaker 2 (01:59:20):
When is priests are available? Then when priests? Would he
be set by Friday.

Speaker 16 (01:59:29):
Because he pitched Monday?

Speaker 2 (01:59:30):
Right, yeah, I think he would see again that's.

Speaker 16 (01:59:35):
It is he through four?

Speaker 2 (01:59:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:59:38):
I I oh, this is why? Right, And so this
is why you put Tobias Myers on the roster instead
of Merrors, because you're just need length out of guys.

Speaker 2 (01:59:48):
So could be literally, it could be all fourteen pitchers.

Speaker 16 (01:59:56):
Could everybody you get two outs except f exactly?

Speaker 1 (02:00:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (02:00:01):
And hey, that's what he said about tomorrow. He well,
he did say that everybody's available except Freddy tomorrow, so
that would include Priester. I don't think Priester pitches. But
it won't be tomorrow. It would be Thursday.

Speaker 2 (02:00:11):
I don't think you're right. You're right though, it is
it is now Wednesday.

Speaker 16 (02:00:18):
Oh, you're right, it's twelve twenty two in the morning.
What is sleep anymore?

Speaker 1 (02:00:21):
Do you guys know what that is?

Speaker 3 (02:00:23):
No doubt, no idea?

Speaker 2 (02:00:26):
Yes, I mean, and it's it's fun work. You're talking Brewers.

Speaker 1 (02:00:30):
Oh, no doubts. Yeah. So all right, Hunter, we will
talk to you tomorrow. We will have a special edition
of Playoff push Tomorrow at five, we'll continue our conversation
see if we can glean any information that may come
out of the Brewers camp. But yeah, we'll talk on
the Game Network and the iHeartRadio app tomorrow at five.

(02:00:54):
So we appreciate it and go get some sleep.

Speaker 16 (02:00:56):
I guess yeah, you guys too.

Speaker 4 (02:00:59):
I guess the advice I'll give you for tomorrow, Hunters,
since it's you and Timmy on that show.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
Keep tim away from any open flame. Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:01:08):
Oh yeah, I literally lit myself on fire today.

Speaker 16 (02:01:14):
Oh wow, So that's what you were trying to do
to get the Brewers offense, going hut. You thought if
you lit yourself and got hot over there, the Brewers
would get hot on the field. Well, it didn't quite work.
Maybe don't let yourself tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (02:01:25):
Listen, I still have the sweatshirt on. I could take
a picture I should take Yeah, you know what I will.
I'll take a picture of it and get it to you, guys.

Speaker 4 (02:01:34):
Spend the day tomorrow in the freezer, Timmy, Let's see
if Dad switches it up here.

Speaker 2 (02:01:39):
So I was making spaghetti and had a big pot
of boiling.

Speaker 1 (02:01:45):
Water, right, and so I was jamming loud music though
the whole house is just rocking. So I was a
little scattered. I'm trying to vacuum and trying to make
spaghetti and all that. I leaned over to check to
see if the water was boiling. Well, one of the

(02:02:05):
strings from my hoodie. Oh yeah, I got the draw
strings for the for the hood Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
It dip dippled into the flame, dippled. Yeah, it started
on fire.

Speaker 1 (02:02:19):
I didn't you started there, that's right.

Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
I didn't realize it until I started smelling something. I'm like, oh,
something's oh.

Speaker 1 (02:02:30):
So I thought I had the uh, the the pot
of water half on and off the burner. It might
have been burning the handle because I thought the plastic handle.
My straighten this up and fix it all up. Exhaust
fan boom. Put that on, and all of a sudden,
my face is starting to feel warm. I'm not kidding you,

(02:02:52):
this true story. And and I'm like, what the hell's
on fire? And I start moving away from the I
reached out, I turned the burner off, and I'm like, okay,
I'm gonna go over here and just kind of reconvene.
And I turned around, thought, is the whole kitchen on

(02:03:12):
It is gonna combust? Here because I kept feeling this
heat on my face, like what and the hell is
burning here? Like the whole house. I thought, Oh, there's
a gas leak and it's gonna blow up. I literally
thought it was. I finally looked down. I take my
hand and I grabbed the the string on my thing,

(02:03:35):
and my whole front of my sweatshirt is on fire.
And there is a whole dead center on my chest,
bigger than the pack size of a pack of cigarettes,
pack of baseball cards, bigger than that. Just a burn,
big burn hole right squared center in my chest. So

(02:03:56):
needless to say, uh, stop, drop and roll or what
I thought about it. I didn't think about it, but
I was reaching for the phone to call the fire department.

Speaker 16 (02:04:05):
It was.

Speaker 1 (02:04:06):
It was that concerning, so I will, yeah, it's it
wasn't a good It wasn't. So that being said, I
figured the Brewers would lose tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:04:19):
Spaghetti. Yes, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 16 (02:04:22):
How good was the spaghetti?

Speaker 2 (02:04:24):
Oh, dynamite is so good.

Speaker 16 (02:04:27):
I was gonna say, better be the best spaghetti you've
ever had.

Speaker 13 (02:04:31):
It.

Speaker 1 (02:04:31):
Literally, the whole front of my sweatshirt is a big
hole in it because it was.

Speaker 16 (02:04:36):
On Really how do you get it? How do you
get it to stop?

Speaker 1 (02:04:39):
I was just patting my chest just like, okay, okay.
At least I knew what was going on at that point.

Speaker 16 (02:04:44):
Yeah, at least you knew you were on fire.

Speaker 2 (02:04:46):
Yes, I knew I was fire. And there's clarity in
what you know.

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
Always start with what you do know. Find out what's
on fire. If it's determined as you at least you
got to start there.

Speaker 3 (02:04:58):

fight through adversity.

fire alarms going off beepy. Now the dogs are going
crazy with anxiety, the cats squawking out.
