Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, it is a final from Chicago and the results
are not good, as the Brewers fall in Game three
of this year's NLDS four to three. The final Welcome
Everybody postgame show with Potawatomi Sportsbook Bet. Above the rest,
there's jeff Orlowski, the Polish pipe Bomb, Tim Allen, and
a lot of people speculating whether we were going to

(00:23):
be on the air tonight. Jeff Orlowski.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, yeah, I heard that from from a person or
one hundred.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, they've been quite We're happy to be here and
changes in the air and changes the one constant. So
we'll just get that out of the way here now
that you know things, things change where you work, and
things change where we work too.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah it yeah, everything's always changing.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
We're glad that that we can be here to uh
most you know most days celebrate today. Unfortunately not with
with the loss, but happy to.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Pipe bomb. That's the first thing I thought of when
the changes occurred. I felt bad for you know, our
post gamers, you know, the folks that just hanging on
every pitch with us throughout the season. So we were
thinking about you, and we're glad to be on the
air here and talking about well in this case, unfortunately,
a four to three loss had a chance, you had

(01:25):
a chance, you had a chance to steal this one.
After the start of this game, I said, just give
me a chance. That's what I was asking. Just settle
this thing down, give me a chance to win this game.
And they got it. And there were some twists and
turns in this There were some twists and turns in
terms of strategy, whether it was lineup, starting pitcher, pinch hitters.

(01:52):
There's quite a few things to unpack here in tonight's show.
Don't want to get here. Once we open up the
phone lines, we'll get your reaction on the nicolay law
dot Com talking text line at eight seven seven seven
nine four one ninety seven to three. But there'll be
a game four and it's either going to be at
seven o'clock or eight o'clock tomorrow. We don't know which

(02:15):
as of yet. Okay, we know there's going to be
a game.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Four unfortunately, but uh yeah, I'll clear my schedules somehow
for both those times.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I mean, that's that would be the trying to put
a positive spin on it, and that would be the
way to do it, to say, hey, we get an
extra extra show to talk to you guys with yep, yes,
sir ah, yeah, yeah, I was all razzled up in
this one. I mean it was it was something you needed,

(02:47):
the one hit. I mean, you needed the one key hit.
You just didn't come up with that key hit in
the right moments. And let's let's go through this one,
because it didn't start out well first inning, well top
of the first Dead with Christian Yelich, who was surprised

(03:09):
with Christian Yelis in the leadoff spot, Well me.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I would have been, But then I listened to a
radio genius, a Brewer Savant earlier on the NOBS program,
basically call I think the first five in the.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Order today first five.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
So I was not surprised because I listened to that
Brewers So I can't remember his name, but but yeah,
I listen to that genius.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right And you know, if it were me and my decision,
this is something you guys can talk about with us.
I would have went with the exact same lineups you
had in one and two, same lineup, identical. It wouldn't
matter to me, lefty, righty. I'm not playing that game
right now. I'm playing my game, right now I'm not

(03:59):
playing a game on a computer. Lefty righty play the splits?
What does he do against lefties? What does he do
against righty's I'm going with what just one game one
in game two and that wasn't the case.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I agree with you, you know, I don't. I'm sure
you have. You've never heard this before, Timmy, but I
heard once or twice. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I think I've heard that somewhere too.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, and I don't know why we're tinkering with things
that did not need to be tinkered with.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I agree, I agree, and you know again we can
talk about that with with our Brewer fan post gamers here.
But Yelly, a second pitch doubled the lead off the
game ground out, didn't get the runner over right there
from Jackson Serio to Rang then would work a walk

(04:53):
first and second went out for contraras he popped it up.
But a sun aided single loading the base says, with
just the one out, you talk about the key hit.
I mean, it wasn't a key hit, but it was
a key at bat. As sal came through.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Brewers came right back as Freelick flies one the left
that might get a run home. Ian hat drifting over
makes the Cats yell it's tags from third, throw home,
not in time, one nothing Milwaukee on a sack fly
from Freelick.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
So there you go, one zip after a flyout, a
couple of hits, a walk and a run. One zip.
They played from the lead into the bottom of the
first no shutdown inning. I mean, I don't even know.
I shouldn't have even thought it, let alone say it.
What did you make a Quinn Priester in this one?

(05:46):
To me, it looked like and I don't want to
knock the kid at all, He's been dynamite all season long,
but the moment just seemed a little bit too big
for him.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, I kind of did you know.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think somebody put little Kenny g Into into his
pregame playlist instead of the Judas Priester.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
But it was not good. It was not good.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
And this is why I sat there and wanted him
to go in Game two at home instead of Game
three on the road.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
And you got away with Game two without using him. Yeah,
and Kingtana, So now you're looking at the old krusty
veteran in the NLDS game through game three, and you
don't start him again. We can talk. Also, I took

(06:39):
notes on this. I have a list of things to
get to, some issues that I have besides, you know,
my issues between the ears. But you know we'll get
to that. But why didn't Kingtana start this ball game?
I don't understand. Now I get a sinkerballer, keep the
ball in the park. Wind was blown in, guy, yes,

(07:01):
wind was blown in. And we saw what King Tana
did after piggybacking onto Quinn Priest, and boy, he didn't
look good and right. It was a mess from the start.
Priester bush a home run again, okay, you're tied at one,
come on, Then a base hit by Horner, then a

(07:22):
walk one in, two on, nobody out, then a great
play by free Lake. It could have been worse. He
didn't move the runner to third, so first and third
with the one out. Then a walk to load the bases.
Priester a mess, bases loaded. I'm screaming to remove him
from the game at this point, thirty plus bitches can't

(07:43):
find the zone. An absolute mess. But he gets a
strikeout and then I'm screaming even louder. Do not let
him face Armstrong. Don't let him do it. Just just
be done with it. No, you didn't see what was
gonna happen. You didn't just witness what was gonna happen here,

(08:07):
and we saw the end result of this. No chance.
Should he have faced Pete crow Armstrong in that situation.
Zero chance. That's why you didn't start king Tana because
you have him for this reason. No two run base hit, unbelievable.

(08:29):
Three to one at that point, and then the hook
comes out and then Mears comes in. Now I will
credit the Cubs on this one because I think that
wild pitch by Mears that turned out to be the
winning run. He threw uncorked a wild pitch, and the
Cubs scored their fourth run of the inning. That was

(08:49):
with crow Armstrong in motion. And I think that that
was somewhat of a distraction to Meers. It was a fastball,
so it's not like he was you know, it was
out of controls off speed pitch. I think it distracted him.
I do. And it turned out to be the winning
run right there. Four runs, four runs in the first inning.

(09:14):
This series has been amazing. In the first inning of
all three of these games, it's hard to believe that
this is even happening in all three of these games.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, it really is, It really is.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know, you hope that everybody got to their seat
in time, because you know, this series just proves you
never know what pitch it's going to be. You never
know what at bat. Like you said, the winning run
was scored in the bottom of the first inning.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Fifty three pitches thrown by Brewers pitchers in the first inning.
Oh god, fifty three pitches, nine men to the plate,
four runs on three hits in three walks. Okay, now
at this point I'm thinking, okay, it's four to one,
it's not fourteen to one. If you score before they score,

(10:08):
you got a chance. That's a huge just almost the
mental part of seeing the scoreboard is it five to
one or is it four to two? That is a
huge difference, not just on the math, just by esthetics
when you look at that. And that's what happened. Ultimately,

(10:29):
Brews went one, two three in the second. Lockridge, by
the way, had a thirteen pitch at bat in that frame.
Did that make you feel better about Lockridge deserving a
chance to play?

Speaker 5 (10:40):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, yes, so has anybody ever been more deserving of
anything in their life.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins are more deserving. But
Brandon Lockridge deserves a chance to play. And that's a
quote from Murphy. I don't agree. Does he deserve the
right to be a baseball player because he's good? Yes, yes,

(11:08):
he does, without a doubt. It's it's interesting when we
talk about strategic mistakes maybe by Murph today, that that
might be one of them in this in this realm.
Murphy justified this lineup, including Breckinridge Lockridge by saying, hey,

(11:32):
this this will give us more moves mid, mid and
late game. I'm paraphrasing, but this will allow us to
make some moves that we want to do later in
the game. Really, yeah, does it? Well?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
That didn't really quite work out the way that I
think he was intending. And the thing is is that
if you sit there and you play your best and
you jump out to a huge lead, now all of
a sudden, there are no moves at the back end
of the game because you blew their asses out in
the early part.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Is baseball full of platoon players these days?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Pretty much?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Is that? Is that what we're doing in baseball? You
just won games one and two with a particular lineup
scoring at will. At times you wanted to just change
that up because all right, more on that in just
a bit. Kingtana entered the game, settled it down one

(12:34):
two three in the bottom of the second Brewers one
two three again in the third inning with three rollovers
from the top of the lineup that that I thought
was pivotal too. Yell it's Cheerio and terrag into the
bottom half, Kintana into and out of trouble bottom of
the third, leadoff double, then a walk uh oh, pop

(12:54):
up strikeout to Armstrong, and Armstrong should have been thrown
out of the game. I don't know where who came
up with the rule you can't argue balls and strikes
because it just isn't a rule, is it.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
No, It's only a rule when they feel like enforcing it.
Everybody's hell bent on if a pitch misses the zone,
misses that invisible box that they throw up on the
TV by a millimeter. But no one has any kind
of no one is you know ever, you know, getting
their feathers ruffled with the fact that you can argue

(13:29):
balls and strikes until you can't.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, it's just allowable. Let mean, come on, throw his
ass out. Well maybe I'm going a little too far.
Well maybe not.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
You know, a man say whatever the hell you want about,
daddy to eat.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
The groundout ended that inning. It was into the fourth inning.
Now again, what am I thinking here? Into the fourth inning?
You score before they do. You have a chance to
steal this thing. You got a game here. Just get
on the board, even just a single run. Get on
the board before they do. Well did they? They did?

(14:06):
In the fourth inning? One out, base it by salth
Freelick durban A base it first and second for Jake
Bowers up.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
A middle from Powers to base hits free. Look around third,
he will store throw to third, not in time, as
Durbin slides in safely going first to third on the
RBI single from Bowers, and the Brewers have cut it
down to two, four.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
To two at that point. All right, now we're in business, baby,
Come on, now, come on now, let's go four to two.
You got us. Get these other woodpeckers packing away. Here
is what it is now. Crowd got a little bit quieter.
Uh oh, what are they gonna do? First and third?
One out and one in? Huh and here comes Breckinridge.

(14:57):
He deserves a chance. I don't think right there he did. No,
I got to pinch hitter in Colin sitting right there.
I got to pinch hitter and Perkins sitting right there, Murph,
right there, And it's Lockridge. After a thirteen pitch at bat.

(15:21):
You still don't let him swing away there? Which way
do you want it? So he's not good enough to
swing away, but he's good enough to start. Is that
what we're doing here? You throw down a safety squeeze?

(15:43):
M hm hm, that's what you did, Caleb the base
runner right third, Hey, little man, listen. It's called safety squeeze.
Safety just in case the bunt doesn't go where you

(16:04):
want it or it's bunted too hard, you get back safe.
Thus the word safety. Back to third now, As it
turns out there was a rundown. They stayed in the
rundown long enough. Both runners did end up moving to
second third anyway, So it was net net zero on
the safety squeeze failure. But it was a failure. Would

(16:27):
you guys have let Lockerde swing away there or pinch
hit or throw down the bunt? And those are your choices?
I was again pipe bomb. I was screaming for a
pinch hitter right there.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, that's the way I would have gone too. I
definitely would have pinchhit. And it's not a net zero
because if he would have sat there, you know, you
want to force the throw to first to sit there
and give them the opportunity to screw it all up.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, that's true. You want them to make a play.
They made a little bit of a play. It was easy.
The bunt was just too hard. My biggest concern would
be two things. If you're not going to pinch hit,
then after a thirteen pitch at bat forty three minutes
prior to that, let him go at him again and

(17:23):
get a fly ball. Hell, maybe even a two run double.
You ever think of that. Well, it didn't work. You
get Durban in that rundown long enough, as I said,
to move the runners over to second and third with
two outs, then with the one ind for Joey Ortiz's
second pitch bounce out that end of the inning. Brewers

(17:44):
did get a run in that fourth inning. They made
it four to two into the bottom half. King Tana
big shutdown bottom of the fourth inning. Oh yeah, you're
in this thing, Drew Palmerantz let the chest match begin
in for a council. He had a one two three inning,
top of the lineup two and that was a big

(18:04):
frame there. Bottom of the fifth inning, Keingtana lead off
base hit to Tucker. That was it for him. As
Grant Anderson came into the game, big strikeout to Suzuki,
picks off Tucker and then struck out Ian Hap. Nice
performance from Grant Anderson right there. Into the sixth inning,
at four to two, Palencia in set the Brewers down

(18:27):
in order. Suddenly it was getting new. A little late
bottom of the sixth inning, Grant Anderson, how about this
to out base hit? But Ah doesn't allow a run.
Nothing after that. Stayed four to two into the seventh inning.
Seventh inning, Brewers a little bit closer. Leading off the inning,

(18:47):
Jake Bowers.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
First pitch, it's Jake Bowers lifting this ball to left field.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Pop goes back that ball. He's gone.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Shake Bowers with an opposite field shuts and the Brewers.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Are within one.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, they are pecking away at that point, four to three.
Now you got a game. You gotta steal this thing.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. Lockridge up. Oh,
they pinch hit for him there. I figured that one out. Really,
now you're gonna pinch hit for him in the seventh inning.
I thought he deserved a chance to play. Apparently not

(19:28):
in the seventh inning. Uh, there's a pinch hitter for him.
Isaac Collins, up three to zero in the count, ended
up striking out. Wow, first out brought up Joey Ortiz.
He was pinch hit four. Blake Perkins into pinchhit, bounces
out for the second out. Yell, it's with a comebacker.

(19:49):
The Brewers did get that one in, one in in
that seventh inning, and it was four to three Chicago
looking for the knockout blow off Kanig in the bottom
half of that seventh inning, base hits by Horner and
Tucker after one out and Suzuki up and Chad Patrick
Saint Patrick's day, all of a sudden, got the ground

(20:11):
ball he needed. They got the fielder's choice late on
the double play attempt, first and third, two down, game
on the line, right there, guys Patrick against Hap one two,
A miss call, but it didn't matter. Struck him out, big,
big out into the eighth A one run game. Oh boy,
A leadoff double for number eleven, Jackson, if you could

(20:37):
do it again, can I ask you to just hit
it out? Because it brought up ter Rang Now again,
I'm not necessarily asking for a bunt in that situation
unless they're playing even with the bag or behind. Maybe
I bunt for a base hit. But you know, I

(20:59):
don't have problem not Bunny right there, Bunny for the
time in the eighth inning, play for the play for
the crooked number. Right there, You've got your what three
four five hitters coming up? Bryce, Bryce Terank looked about
as bad in an ab as he has looked all
year long, just flailing, just just I'm gonna swing and

(21:23):
I'll I'll hit the ball. That was a well we'll
credit the picture, but come on, Bryce, as horrible, maybe
the worst of the season. I don't know. Someone would
have to show me a different one. Contrarast then would
work a walk Freelick Afielder's choice runners at the corners

(21:44):
with the one out, two outs, check that. Durbin works
a walk to load him up for Bowers right there,
have a night. No he struck out. That to me
was the game right there. I just felt like all
momentum was lost. Chad Patrick scoreless eighth inning, and then
the Brewers went one two three in the ninth horner

(22:05):
with the Nights playoff the bat of Yeliche to end
the game, and the Brewers now up two games to one,
best of five. We have a Game four and we're
talking about it. We will open up the phone lines
right now, grab your phones on the nicolay law dot
com talking text line at eight seven seven seven ninety
four one ninety seven to three. Let's talk about some

(22:28):
of the things you'd have done a little bit different
in this one, not necessarily all of it in the game.
Maybe leading up to the game. You're listening to the
postgame show Playoff edition NLDS Game three. The Brewers fall
four to three, and there will be a Game four
postgame show with Pottawatami Sportsbook Bet above the rest here

(22:51):
on ninety seven to three the game and the iHeartRadio app. Yeah,
a tough one in Game three here, a little bit
of a nightmare in that first inning for the Brewers
and Quinn Priester. Welcome back. Postgame show Playoff edition with
Pottawatomi Sportsbook Bet above the rest him Allen, jeff Orlowski

(23:11):
and a four to three Brewer loss. Wow, all four
runs in the first inning for Chicago and nothing nothing
for the Brewers but just pecking away a little bit,
two for nine runners in scoring position. You're gonna hear
from Pat Murphy coming up pipe on. I just just

(23:34):
gave an opinion of the moment, too big. Murphy talks
about that moment. Oh, it not only was the lack
of command, but I think he was nervous. I think
you could see it on his face.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, he wasn't the calm, cool, collected Priester that we
have grown accustomed to, which is unfortunate. You know, you
such a workhorse man. You can't take anything away from
the season that he's had. But what this is now
his second loss in a row after the Brewers won
what eighteen straight that he started.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, eighteen or nineteen?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Right, Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:17):
And so now the crew have dropped, I want to say,
the last two games.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, a couple of them. And again we talked about
it leading up into Game three. You get away with
it in game two on a bullpen game, Well, then
you're in the catbird seat. You can go with who
you want. It's on the road, Yep, it's on the road.
You have the krusty veteran in Jose Kintana.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Pitching against one of the teams that he used to
wear the uniform of. So you would think that the
revenge factor would have been there.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Front and center, of course, and you go with a
young dude, Quinn Priester, who by the way, grew up
a cub fan, sure did himself pitching again. Now, this
wasn't his first appearance at Wrigley Field, right, But had
it been, I would have been really losing my mind
on this one had it been his first appearance at

(25:11):
Wrigley Field. It wasn't, but Jose King Tana came in
and just did what Jose King Tana does that puts
up Zeros. I even thought he was pulled too soon.
Now worked Cubbs went on to not score another run
after that first inning.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, and you do have to give the Brewer pitching
staff credit for, you know, for that shutting them down
seven straight innings after you gave up a four pack
in the first.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Grant Anderson and Chad Patrick keys in this game. That
will put the bullpen into really good shape going into
Game four tomorrow. They've got their guys Canan Can go
back to back. You've got your rebay, you know, you've
you've got your guns back in there, Trevor McGill. Aaron

(26:03):
Ashby is ready to go. Now they have not announced
the starter yet. Can I ask why it's not Freddie Peralta?

Speaker 3 (26:12):
That would make sense to me.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Why isn't it Freddy Peralta? I mean, am I missing
something here? Well?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
It's Saturday gamanship here, you know. But it's gotta be
Freddy because it would be a on normal rest and
then be you want to give him the maximum amount
of time for him to start game one of the NLCS.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
That's right, that's right. Well, all right, let's get to
you guys on the nicolay law dot Com talkin text
line eight seven seven seven nine to four one ninety
seven to three? What would you have done differently here?
Not only in game, but leading up to the game?
All right, we go to Chad. Chad, you're a leadoff

(26:55):
hitter tonight after a four to three game three loss.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Hey, guys, how you doing well?

Speaker 1 (27:03):
More important? Now you are?

Speaker 8 (27:05):
Uh a little bummed.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
I was really hoping to get the rooms out tonight.
But yeah, I guess I'm calm because my my I
guess I didn't understand what we should have started Kantana.
I really believe that I and I don't want to
like hindsight Is twenty twenty. I went bad in the
first inn he for priest Or, but I really really
believe if we would have started Kantana, we would have

(27:27):
won this game. I you know, I think in Tana,
he played with the cup, he knows this team, he
knows these hitters.

Speaker 9 (27:34):
They should have started Kantana.

Speaker 7 (27:35):
That that's that's my I guess that's why I'm calling.
I just I think the whole game would have been
completely different. And that's about all I have to say.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Guys, Chad, I'm with you. I think the game does
turn out a little bit different. I do.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too, me too, Thank you, Shed and.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
We It's okay to Hindsight's twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
Look.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Also, just to let you guys know, it doesn't mean
you don't love Paton Murphy of course that you question
his strategy. You just questioned his strategy, that's all. No
way Brandon Lockridge is in a starting lineup in a

(28:18):
playoff game. No chance, zero chance from here all the
way through the World Series. No more. You have a
guy that's this close to being Rookie of the Year
in Collins, and you have your favorite Blake Perkins, both
of them switch hitters, and you want to go with Lockridge.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Both of those guys worlds more quote unquote deserving to
get the start today over Breckinridge.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Oh, by the way, no one mentioned as of yet.
We're looking through the Nicolay Law dot com talk and
text line eight seven seven seven. What about Andrew Vaughn.
You can't find a spot for Andrew Vaughan, I mean
wind blown in forget about it, with that kind of power,

(29:14):
and he did get in that bat late in the
game and flew out. If you're gonna go with Breckenridge,
could you have gone with Yellichen left and then you
got Vaughn and Bauers in the lineup, or take a
gamble with Bowers and Left. There's a lot of different
strategy here to talk about safety squeeze, not pinch hitting.

(29:42):
No one could make an argument for you know, maybe
bunting a time or two in this one in a
given situation. So a lot to get to manly. Manly,
You're next here on ninety seven through the game.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
Hey, guys, happy to be on the show again. I
just want to give a little apology for the other
night when I used a little profanity. I was a
little jacked up from the game.

Speaker 11 (30:12):
Sorry about that, sir, about that, but you know, you.

Speaker 10 (30:16):
Know, I'm a big Pat Murphy fan, and you know
I'm not going to get too down on him, but
I would like to say that that it was clear
that our man Quinn priest Or, who I love and
has done a great job, he was so rattled from
the first ball that he hurled out there and you
could just see it in his face, and they should

(30:37):
have They should have got got him out of there
quicker if they wanted to try that and see what
was going to happen. I think that experiment failed on
the first pedge.

Speaker 12 (30:45):
You could just see it.

Speaker 10 (30:47):
And I wish that they would have pulled the pug
and put her head, you know, I mean, Kintana should
have been in there from the get go.

Speaker 9 (30:54):
But you know, I trust Pat a lot.

Speaker 12 (30:56):
And and there you go.

Speaker 10 (30:57):
But I'm also questioning how on earth we ended up,
you know, letting my man William, you know, got himself
a little out of position in and lost that crazy
ball from hers, and there's the there's the run. We
couldn't get back, like what happened there. I'm I'm a
little baffled by that.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
I think the runner in motion actually through mirrors and
and possibly contrarast on that, you know, runner in motion
that forces you. There's there's there's more movement. There's people
yelling runner run. I mean, right when you're about to
throw the pitch or catch the I mean people are yelling, uh.
That's that's the indicator that there's a runner on the move.

(31:41):
So I think that may have been a distraction there.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
I mean, I'm not I'm not super upset with any
of this.

Speaker 10 (31:49):
We got we got plenty of time to whoop up
some butt on these little cobbies.

Speaker 13 (31:53):
And but again, you.

Speaker 10 (31:55):
Know all these things you're saying, braindon lockwrade, what on
earth like, give me a break? That guy should not
have stepped on the field tonight, And how you can
sit down all those other guys in place to him.
This is a moment that I love Pat to death,
and Pat we trust. But I'm still scratching my head

(32:17):
at the Cups.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Played a great game too.

Speaker 10 (32:18):
I mean, at the end of the day, we got
to give them a little credit, right, They punched us
in the face hard at the first inning and we
just couldn't.

Speaker 13 (32:26):
Get it back.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, the first inning has been amazing in all three
of these games, manly, thank you, it's just been truly amazing. Look, yeah,
we love Pat Murphy and we trust Pat Murphy. That
doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes. He does, I'll promise
you he does.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
We've seen it well.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
And you asked him point blank if there's ever times
he wanted to taze himself and he said yes.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, And there's your proof right there. He's gonna make
some mistakes. And you know, again hindsight twenty twenty, I
think he's learning. Also, this is his second season into
the postseason. There's there's just it's funny how baseball is

(33:12):
measured in long sample sizes, right, and then all of
a sudden you get to crunch time and you do
something different.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, I know, it's strange. It's strange. There's a reason,
you know, everybody, Oh yeah, that's why you play six months,
cream rises to the top, all this kind of stuff,
and then all of a sudden you go in a
clinching opportunity against your hated rival on the road and
you pull a almost complete switcherrou On, just a bunch

(33:42):
of different things. You know, it's a head scratcher. It
is a head scratcher. I would tase Murphy today as well, me.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Too, Double tays. When you think about it, why couldn't
priest Or go after Kingtana?

Speaker 5 (33:57):
Right?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
So it comes down to who do you trust more
in a game? Three nlds to hold the game? Just
hold the game down a little bit, not not get
rocked for a big number early in the game. It's
all you were looking for a lot of these teams,

(34:19):
a lot of these playoff games, that's all you're looking for.
Just don't give up up the big number. Get us,
get us a few innings, and let us take hold
here and we can play matchups and we can play
stronger Bullpen's gonna win the game. Who do you trust
more to hold the game in place? King Tana or
Quinn Priester?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Quintana easy.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
And that's the thing. I think it's greedy. I think
he was thinking the Brewers were going to score some
runs off tye On. Quinn Priester was going to throw
three or four of nine er one run ball, maybe two.
You'd have the lead, then you go to Kingtana. But

(35:05):
you know that's a little greedy.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
It is greedy because Ty one, since he's come back
from his injury. This is his fifth or sixth start
since he's been back. Since he came back from injury,
he's got like a one point three erra.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I would want Kingtana to go toe to toe with him. Hello,
go toe to toe. I just need to match you.
Whatever you do, I'll match Both sides. Would probably think that, yeah, yeah, wow,
all right, let's go to Justin eight seven, seven, seven,
nine to four, one ninety seven to three. Justin a

(35:42):
four to three game three loss.

Speaker 14 (35:46):
Hey man, hey, real quick man, all the stuff going on. Man,
glad to have you guys on the air, and heartfelt
wishes to everyone who is you know, have some bad
things happen to him, but Timmy and get mad at
me because I'm so this off. I'm trying to stay
calm so I don't wake everybody up.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
In his house.

Speaker 8 (36:03):
This is absolutely stupid.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
This is stupid.

Speaker 14 (36:06):
Pat Murphy is a back to back Manager of the Year,
and he managed two of the worst games he's managed
in his entire career as a Milwaukee Brewers' manager first
of all, starting Priester. A couple of callers said it before, stupid.
He's a young kid. You know how Chicago is, and
you know how it is in the playoffs. What's the
guy's name, Pat Murphy. You've been around baseball for a

(36:28):
long time and you coached young guys in college, so
you gotta know Priests is gonna be razzled. Oh who
hit the first run?

Speaker 9 (36:36):
Home run?

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Wasn't it Michael Bush.

Speaker 14 (36:38):
He's a luftie, right, he bats like a bucket.

Speaker 11 (36:40):
Isn't change to get his lucky So.

Speaker 14 (36:41):
You put with Tana on the mound. Now, council's force
to set him, and you could bring Priest in, But
now you blew your lord with Quintana and he's gone.
And now what are we doing? Aaron Savale to tomorrow
for the Cubs versus Robert Gasser, Like I'm so upset.
We had the opportunity we had to bear and the
beer was grasping for air and Pat Murphy managed just

(37:04):
like that dumb ass dude on the North side of Chicago,
and now he might have gave the momentum back to them.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Well, I'll let you finish justin it might have get
well it did. I think it gave the Cubs hope
the Cup seasons one game. They know it's one game tomorrow,
and boy, oh boy, well looky, looky here we win
this one game and it's all bets are off. We
can steal this thing now with Quinn Priestro, I will

(37:32):
say this about Wrigley Field, and I don't, in any way,
shape or form want to convey the idea that I'm
complimenting Wrigley Field. Okay, so let's just get that out
of the way right now. But Murphy should know more
than I do that that is an intimidating place to
play a baseball game at times, especially in the playoffs.

(37:55):
Win blowing around, cub fans freaking out and going crazy
on a up on the infield. Just the atmosphere. Even
though Quinn Priester has been there for the World Series,
has been sitting in the stands, he went to a
World Series game, He's been a regular field a million times.
It doesn't matter. Now you're on the mound. That place

(38:15):
can be an intimidating thing for a young ballplayer. And
what does Murph do said, go out there, You'll be fine, kid.
All this krusty veteran over here that everyone would trust
in a big moment game. We'll get to you. You
just hold off there, We'll get to you. Let's let
the kid pitch. I just I didn't like it. And
this is in hindsight for me, justin Jeff, you guys

(38:36):
know that this should have been Kintana from word go.
I don't even I'm trying to think back what happened
in game two? Why was it a bullpen game? In
game two when you hadn't played a game in how long?
You hadn't played a game in six games? And you
went game two with a bullpen game.

Speaker 14 (38:56):
All facts, all just expectfully, especially spot On. It's send
three dickerus and then you get locker dge in here,
and he's what do you call breaking ridge?

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Somebody's red.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
He should be he.

Speaker 14 (39:07):
I do agree he deserves to play, and I do
agree he should be on the roster for stolen bases
and base running at the end of the game.

Speaker 13 (39:13):
That's it.

Speaker 14 (39:14):
I don't need that dude would have bat in his hand.
He can't damn hit and he's a marginal center fielder.
Let me not be negative on our own guys, but
he had too many airs in center field defensively this year,
too many bad breaks on the ball. You know who
doesn't do that, Blake Perkins. He doesn't make those bad plays.
And I bet you we get one of those runs
in with Blake at the bat. And I know it's

(39:35):
easy for me to sit in my fat ass on
my couch and say this and say that.

Speaker 8 (39:38):
And this guy should have did this or this guy
should have done that.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
But I'm pissed off.

Speaker 14 (39:42):
I'm really mad. But the only bright spot to me
are you clowns who said Grant Anderson sitting beyond the mound,
Great Henderson, send do this. He's the reason why that's
a four to three games. Whoever the hell else you
wanted on that mound and men shouldn't have been an
all that stuff. I'm just man, I'm so upset. Man,
I really hope that you guys just keep this up.

(40:04):
I mean, you are a testament to Brewers Baseball.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
You are needed.

Speaker 14 (40:08):
I really get my thoughts in prais everybody on the station.
I'm so mad. I don't want to get suspended for
the rest of the year because I'm gonna say a
whole bunch of stuff.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
The pipe bomb, I'm gone.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
All right, Yeah, I'm not extremely nervous quite yet about
this series, right, No, you shouldn't be, right, However, trail
in tomorrow's game after the fifth inning, I'm nervous. Okay,
you're not winning tomorrow's game after five innings, I'm nervous.

(40:45):
So that's that's my threshold right there. Now. Could they
come back and win the game after the fifth inning?
Of course, I'm just telling you where my nerves are
going to be into tomorrow's game. And really it may
not even take the fifth inning. Just anytime they're trailing
in tomorrow's game, and especially by by a crooked number. Oh,
I'm gonna be kind of nervous, I am, because a

(41:06):
two to two series. Forget about all the other metrics,
forget forget about all the other history, forget about everything.
This is now a one, one game wild Card advance game.
Yeah that's all. It'll turn into Game one sixty three
for the division again.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Yeah, yeah, you're one hundred percent right. The crazy thing
with this series is, uh, you know, the winner has
come from behind in all three games, So do you
allow the Cubs to score first? You know, let's not
get ridiculous. But uh, but yeah, it's been uh, it's
been bizarre. I'm I'm kind of with you, you know,

(41:44):
Am I nervous? No, but I'm I'm teetering. I'm getting
closer uh to being so and so. Yeah, if they're
even behind by a run tomorrow, it just this was
just a weird situation, a weird game from a team
that doesn't normally do these kind of things.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Where was Christian yell, it's leading off in August when
you were rolling July August range, when you were seriously rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling,
and then toward the end of the year, it's bloop,

(42:26):
here comes a little cartoon bubble bubble pops and says yelly,
lead off. What happened?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
I don't know, I don't know. It's that bad.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
The red the red guy on Murphy's shoulder, whispering in
his ear.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
And that's the one that got.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Through tinkering with the engine a little too much.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Mm hmm, I.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Think so you had a well tuned engine. Don't tinker
too much. Let them go do their thing. They're good,
trust them, love them, let them play together, let them
play for each other.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Yeah, let them do what they've done all season long.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
I'm thinking, you know, and this team, they were so
good on the road all year, which is also helping
me kind of stay calm a little bit because how
good they have been away from the AMFAM. I definitely
I expected them to win today, and so obviously if
I go into tomorrow expecting anything different, then I'm an idiot.

(43:33):
So I do expect them to win tomorrow as well.
But don't play with your food. Just clean the damn
plate and let's move on.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Let's move on to Sam on the nicolay law dot
Com talking tax line eight seven seven seven, nine to four,
one ninety seven to three. What's up, Sammy?

Speaker 15 (43:55):
Uh yeah, I don't know if I'm more upset we walked,
or more upset that Cubs fans get to feel joy
and I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Where to go right. They're both bad.

Speaker 15 (44:10):
There's so many opportunities to win this game, even after
that crappy top of the first I mean, you had
basically loaded what twice tonight and h and also, can
we just not give up a run in the first inning?
I mean that would be nice.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
No doubt.

Speaker 15 (44:30):
And then I was I'm kind of agreeing with the
Katana stuff. I get why maybe Murph wants to go
with one of his guys from the regular season, but
postseason experience matters, and King Kana has it. And plus
Kingana has been an ear under three on the road
this year, So I think that's who I would have
gone with.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
And this game today, Yeah, all right, good deal, Sam,
thank you. Yeah, there'll be better days. And you know again,
Cubs have to come a long way back, and you
know they've they've got the first little step here. But
it's just a little one, another elimination game in terms
of strategy here, where's the biggest problem priest or quintona

(45:12):
decision the lineup itself, not playing Vaughn Lockridge over Perkins
or Collins Yelly leading off inside the game, allowing Priest
to face Armstrong there in that first inning when you
knew everybody knew that was not going to turn out. Well,

(45:35):
I don't care if he struck out Carson Kelly the
batter before that did not matter to me. This isn't
you will give you a chance to get out of
this thing, kid, This was you knew you couldn't get
out of it. He did a Matthew Boyd from Game one,
He sure did. He did. He never made it out

(45:57):
of the first inning, and I think if Meares comes
in to face Armstrong, I think this game might be different.
There again, we're just giving you. I'm just giving you
my list. Lockridge the bunt with corners one out, one
end in the fourth inning. Ooh, suicide, squeeze squeeze. Murphy
from what I understand, does talk about that and how

(46:20):
Durbin should have just kept running home making make a
play like five Bomb said, So we're we're on to
Murph here tonight. Moments too big for Quinn Priester all
over it, all, over it all? Do you want me
to start tweeting these things out just so we can
all be on the same page here, My goodness, you

(46:40):
saw it from your couch. Priester needed to go and
not face Crow Armstrong. That to me was probably the
biggest mistake he met he made outside of starting priest. So,
priest or priest, let's see what else lead off double

(47:03):
by Cherio in the eighth not bunning that, nah, I
would I would say that that's that's debatable. You let
Traang swing away there, So there's there's a bunch of
stuff there in that list. We'll go to Marshall. Marshall
year next year on ninety seven to three of the game.

Speaker 12 (47:20):
Well, good evening, guys.

Speaker 9 (47:22):
Hi, I'm like everyone else, a little down, a little disappointed,
But you guys have analyzed it very well. I was,
I guess more earlier today, at least as I was
thinking about this and heard the lineup. I was a
little bit surprised at some of the some of the
moves made there, and Yell achieved leading off kind of

(47:46):
surprised me a bit. The Priester Quintana thing, I think
it's legit. I realized that Priester has done so much
for us this year. But but you bring up a
good point on the experience in postseason. It's a point
that's been worth debating and worth arguing, and I just

(48:09):
think you're right. If it had been the other way around,
we might be celebrating a series victory right now, perhaps.
But the other thing that we have to get better at,
guys two for nine with runners and scoring position. I
know I harp on this a lot, but despite everything that,
all the goofy stuff, and I felt this was kind

(48:31):
of goofy at times today too, But all of that
could have been overcome and I kind of knew in
the eighth inning and we didn't score there, we had
lost it. And when we made it four two, I
was thinking, let's get another run in, let's get a
sack fly here. I mean, we just seen at times
the Brewers, and even as great years we've had, in

(48:53):
those situations, occasionally forget. We seem to forget how to
play baseball at times, guys, and we just have to
The bunt was clever, but it was too clever, and
maybe the timing wasn't the best. But but but I'm
not as just in short here, I'm not nervous yet either,

(49:13):
but I totally agree with you guys. First of all,
I'm predicting zero zero after the first inning tomorrow, but
that's a prediction. But we have to get off to
a good start tomorrow. We need just as I felt
going into Game two.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
And yes, we got away with a.

Speaker 9 (49:29):
Bulleten game, fortunately, but but.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
We've got to put the boot. We got to put
the boot to.

Speaker 9 (49:35):
The neck tomorrow. We got to get out of there.
I want a Blitzkraig early. Sometimes second per raning would
be great, and we've got it. We've got it, we
can do it. Guys, we can we can do this,
and we've been doing it all year, and uh, we
can't blow this series.

Speaker 12 (49:53):
Guys.

Speaker 9 (49:53):
I've seen teens that I like in the past have
blown these kinds of things, specifically back in the eighties. Guys,
this would be ten times worse because I am a
brewerup and at heart and was back then. And good
the good news is we will have Game five at
home and probably Parolta going. But but I say, let's

(50:15):
let's just get done tomorrow. Let's get back to the
games one and two.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Let's do it. Let's do it. Thank you, Marshall. What
am I missing here with Paralta not going tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (50:27):
You know, like I said, I just think it's gamesmanshipped
by Murphy. I think you know, he sat there and
announced that Priester was going to start pretty much immediately
after Game two. That didn't work out well today, and
so he's going back to the Uh, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
Well, I mean, maybe we're missing something. I mean, we'll
we'll talk to Hunter in a little bit. Maybe he's
got some inside scoop. But yeah, if if, if that's
the way it goes, and that's cool. That's fine, just
do it. But am I seriously are we missing anything
here as to why he wouldn't why that wouldn't just

(51:09):
be bets Freddie Peralta.

Speaker 14 (51:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
He's your best guy. Go close it out. You have
home field advantage. I mean three things in my book,
and they win this game if King Tana starts and
these are not difficult things to implement. King Tana starts
the game, and both Vaughan and Collins have four ad

(51:36):
bats in this game, regardless of lefty righty, don't care,
don't even care. Now, the fact that I predicted the
top five in this order today didn't mean I wanted
it that way. I hope you understand that I was
on with Billy this morning. It's probably going to be

(51:57):
Yellich Cheerio Contreras. I'm sorry, Yellis Cherio, Bryce terrang in
the three hole Concereras cleaning up in South Freelix five.
That's probably what's gonna happen. I wouldn't do it. It
would have been the same lineup you used in games
one and two.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
So again, let's break it down to two different things.
I think they win this game. Hose A King Tana
starts and you use your same offensive lineup that you
used in games one and two. I think they win
this game, and we're celebrating right now, but we have
some fun stress level tomorrow again, don't we.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
M Yeah, you might think it's fun, and you know
it is, but I'd much rather be floating on a
bubbly champagne river of happiness right now.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
This Cub team is begging to be bumped out. They are,
They're hanging on by a thread, and they have been
just one one more thing. Quinn priest Or, if he
was to start a game at oh, I don't know
a less classic stadium, and I mean that in the

(53:10):
worst way I can possibly use the word classic. If
it were I don't know Great American Ballpark for example,
that's a little different story. I think that affected Quinn
priest Or. I do pitching at Wrigley, and I'm not
questioning his you know, integrity at all or his mental state,

(53:35):
but I think it impacted him being that that stadium,
with that history and his history at that stadium. That
would have played a part for me.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Yeah, it would definitely make me pause before I thought
about sitting there and having him start at Chavez Ravine.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
There's another one, right, I would I wouldn't do that there.
I wouldn't either, So Fenway Park, Dodger Stadium, and the
neighborhood Dump in Chicago. I think that's park impact for
a young player, especially a young pitcher. So just keep
that in your hip pocket for years down the line.

(54:16):
But everybody gets to play under Murph.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
They all deserve it.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
You all made the team. None of you are my
last pick and none of you are my first pick. Hey,
little Brandon came here. Put that water bottle down. You're
no longer the water boy. You're starting in game three
of the NLDS. Some would say you're not even supposed
to be on this roster. We're gonna do you one

(54:42):
better and we're gonna start you.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Can you imagine how pissed off Rehese Hoskins was looking
at the lineup today, saying, I'm sitting out of this
NLDS for this freaking guy and he's getting a start.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Are you getting the start? No doubt? All right, we'll
get more of your reaction here. We're gonna hear from
Pat Murphy soon. Stick around a lot to get to
a lot to talk about in the Brewers four to
three loss. NLDS now moves to game number four, Brews
up two games to one. I hate to say it,
but yesterday it was, Hey, look, the Brewers need to

(55:17):
win one of the next three. Well guess what now
it's one of the next two. Don't let let it
even get near one of the next one. Amen, all right?
Postgame Show Playoff edition with Potawatomi Sportsbook bet above the
rest here on the game. All right, welcome back. Postgame
Show Playoff edition with Potawatomy Sportsbook bet above the rest,

(55:39):
Tim Allen, jeff Orlowski and a four to three game
three loss. You guys want to do your little exercise
and go around the rest of the league and see
who's playing some reserves if you will, You guys want
to check the other lineups, other.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Box you want to make yourself man exactly.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
I don't, but I do understand from a good source
that I don't think there's any reserves playing twenty six
men in the starting lineup.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Well, okay, and out of all the teams remaining, what
team would Breckinridge make the cutof?

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Again? I mean, you could make that argument, and he's
in the starting lineup because he played well in scrimmage
this week. Really, that's interesting. Now he should be tased,
according to Pat Murphy, for not getting that bunt down properly. Yes,

(56:51):
so again, break it down to two things. King Tana
starts this game and we're gonna get to Hunter here
in a little bit. After a couple of calls. Kintana
starts this game and play the exact offensive lineup and
see what happens. I think it's I think it's a
different outcome. I do all right eight seven seven, seven

(57:14):
nine four one ninety seven three to Don d o
n because we have iron too. Don, You're next year
in ninety seven three. The game it's up down.

Speaker 12 (57:25):
I was wondering, what, hey, what was your competent level today?
For the Bruis to win this game?

Speaker 1 (57:32):
It was a little less, just a little bit, because
it's it's tough to sweep like that, and you know
they're they're at their place, So I didn't expect to
win like I would at home.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah, I'd love to say my six, but if I'm
being honest, I was about seventy eight percent.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Yeah, I'm probably right in there too. So it didn't
shock me that they lost this game, but the fact
that they could have won it was some easy moves
that that's that's what frustrates me.

Speaker 12 (58:04):
Yeah, I was ninety ten that they'd win this game
until the Yankees came back on the Blue Jays yesterday,
because that would give the Cubs hope of coming back
against the Brewers. So I said this earlier to the
guys this morning. I said, I'm fifty to fifty.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Now, well in in the series.

Speaker 12 (58:27):
Yeah, that the Cubs will come back in the series.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Oh yeah, no, I'm not there, No, no, no, Now
talk to me in the seventh inning. If the Brewers
are down three runs tomorrow, I maybe starting to yet
swivel just a little bit. I'm going to be a
nervous wreck tomorrow if they are traded in that game.

Speaker 12 (58:48):
One thing I think, uh Lwiss got a little greedy
with putting this lineup in tonight. He's like, we can
beat him tonight. He was too overconfident, I think, so,
oh he's got to be changed.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
To Yep, let's chase him. Murphy gets Tay's job. All right,
don thank you. Let's let's go to Ron. Ron You're
next here on ninety seven to three, of the game. Boy,
oh boy, I have to disagree with you time which
which part.

Speaker 5 (59:22):
There's the best picture in the starting rotation all season.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
This is a playoff game ron at Wrigley Field. When
you had a bullpen game in game two?

Speaker 5 (59:33):
Okay, how does a guy get playoff experience if you
don't pitch him in the playoffs, but he has the
requisite playoff experience so that he can pitch you in
the playoffs. Yeah, you put him in a two situation
because it's the least pressure he's gonna face.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
That's good, guess getting greedy to me. I want the dagger.
I'll deal with the next round. The next round. I
want them gone. And they got a chance to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Put back off an injury and you're gonna call him DA.
The only thing I think they get wrong with the
pitching today. I don't think you piggyback those two. I
think you reserved kin Kana for game four is what
I would have done, or for game five, and now
he's burnt. So now you've got a bullpen game in
the next two, depending when you want to use it.

(01:00:20):
And they probably are facing what BOYD and then Imanaga
in these two games. If they want to be aggressive,
you know, So, I mean it's it's you've kind of
backed yourself in a quarter of ay, piggybacking them. But
I don't on any stretch you will never convince me
that the wrong thing was to name pre Serves Insider
Today Mountain. It's just no way.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Did Why didn't you use them? Game two? Then?

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
Yeah, that's a great question because that's what I was expecting.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Yeah, I mean, it's you know.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
But but seriously, again, should he use I am not
going to complain of him being out there on the
mount He was thirteen and three, the guy, the guy.
I mean, you know, you talk about guys not earning
what they're getting, but jeeves, it's going thirteen and three
doesn't earn it? What earns it? What earns you that
first chance host?

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
His name is jose Kintana. That's what that's what does it?

Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
Well? Okay, well, jose Kintana is not exactly a world lead.
He does what he does. Sometimes it works really well,
sometimes it doesn't. It was his first appearance back from
an injury, and he pitched great tonight. But you didn't
know that if you had no more guarantee with him
than you did with Priest.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
I'm sorry, Oh, yes you Didna's been in the league
for eight hundred and fifty seven years. And it's not
because he's an average player. It's because he's awesome and
he mose suckers down.

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
No, it's it's it's partially because he's left handed and
he pools people like Pico Armstrong, which what I helped tonight.
I'll agree to that. But again, if he was your
plan B, he was not going to pitch the Armstrong
and the seventh batter of the game ever. And you know,
you know you can argue Merror should have been in
for Armstrong. Shirt. Yes, I don't think you can argue

(01:02:11):
with the decision really to start preaching.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
The other thing that I no, I agree. I wasn't
calling for Kington against Carl Armstrong. I was calling for Meares.

Speaker 5 (01:02:20):
Right then. And that's fine that that totally can see
that one. But in the end, again, I'm not gonna
say he's the wrong guy to start. But the other
thing that that you mentioned, I remember, I think Tyke
Boum was on the broadcast I called in the last
Saturday night in the regular season, and you weren't doing
the postgame show, and I said, you have to find
a way to put Lockridge on this roster for the playoffs.

(01:02:44):
And I laid out my reason then, and I'll lay
it out for you again, because this team's advantage will
never be the way they hit. It'll be the way
that they run and the way they prevent runs. And
watching our defense the second half of August and in September,
with Curio limping around in center field and Collins being

(01:03:08):
you know, the butcher of the owner or whatever. He
was out there in left field just absolutely making errors
and taking wrong pass and dropping balls, which is what
he did in April and May too. You know, I
level everybody thought he was a gold Glover because he
played good defense for two months in June and July.
But no, I think Collins is not a good outfielder

(01:03:31):
roster for this team. The best way to go is
to generally start Perkins, use Collins to pinch hit in
a key situation, and then put Lockridge in center field,
because no one has any business in center field that's
on this roster except Lockridge or Perkins. And the problem
with with you know, starting Collins or I'm sorry, with

(01:03:52):
starting Perkins over Lockridge Merk just tried to play the
percentages today. If you look at it, Perkins hits. If
you look at the swift Perkins gets poorly against righty's
like two o seven, and yeah, Locker gets poorly against
lefties like two o seven. It's like, but but they
eat Ship about two fifty to sixty against the opposite

(01:04:13):
handed pitcher. And that's the reason you saw lockerage today
because right he's apparently he gets better. So again, not
a bad decision to have him on the roster. Yeah,
he might not make other teams playoff rosters, but the
Brewers needed a run, a run saver in center field,
and frankly, compared to Turio with his bad legs and

(01:04:35):
Collins with his bad glove, that that is the run.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Favor Rod Churio, DHS and Yellis goes out there and
plays left field.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Ron give me a one word answer, left field, but
not Ronald no One.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
But then you can play Perkins in center. That's what
I'm saying. You can. You can play Perkins and center, Churio,
d H and Yelly and left.

Speaker 13 (01:04:58):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:04:58):
I have no problem with that. But apparently Ye's back
is worse than curial handstring.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Yeah, could be could be all right, Ron, Ron, thank you? Yeah,
I mean good debate. It's good debate. I just think
the site game. What what do people say about the
mental portion of this game, about the game of baseball.
It's real, it's real, and it's it's it can be
a real challenge. And with Quinn Priester, yes, he's done

(01:05:28):
well all season long, but it's Wrigley Field and it's
a playoff game. That's Those are big moments, man, They're
big moments. Let's go back to Wrigley Field and bring
in our Brewers, Insider Hunter, bombguard Hunter. We'll get to
a couple of different things real quick. Have they announced
the starter for tomorrow?

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
No, we are still waiting on starters for both teams
for tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Okay, so the gamesmanship is is on. Would there be
any reason that I'm missing here why it wouldn't be
Freddie Peralta.

Speaker 6 (01:06:01):
Do you want to save him for Game five?

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
I want to win the series?

Speaker 6 (01:06:07):
Okay, So at that point then it would make a
lot of sense for him to start, and then you'd
have a Game five. You know, however, you wanted to
do Game five, it would make sense for him to
do it. Right on the road. He's also been really
good though at home. Do you want to have him,
you know, at home? So I think there's multiple factors
into that, but I I it makes a lot of
sense for him to start tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Only four days.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
The only reason why you wouldn't start him tomorrow is
because if you don't start Peralta and you start someone
else and you win tomorrow, then you've got Freddy lined
up for game one.

Speaker 6 (01:06:39):
Yep, which would be Monday, yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Okay, so tomorrow's Thursday, Saturday Sunday or Friday Saturday Sunday.

Speaker 6 (01:06:49):
It's not impossible, but he'd probably pitch game two in
a seven gamers, probably pitch game two.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Yes, yeah, so you would. You could pitch him tomorrow
and then he'd be available for game two at home.
Game two of the NLCS yep, yep. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:05):
So but I get what you're saying. Where you want
to look when this this series, this team was close
ninety feet away from Tyet tonight, so you know it's
it's yeah, I get what you're saying there where it's like, okay,
just put the foot on the gas.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Here, Okay, let's let's rewind now. Okay, let's go back
to game yep, let's go back to game two. All right,
how many days did the Brewers not play baseball leading
up to games one and two of the NLDS Five? Okay,
five plus five and a half days they didn't play baseball?

Speaker 16 (01:07:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Can I ask why it was a bullpen game in
Game two?

Speaker 16 (01:07:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
I think it's a very good question. I think it
should have been pre stirring Game two, hindsight being twenty twenty.
But you won the game. So that's the tough part,
that you won the game in the bullpen game. But
you're right. But yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't.
You know, it's tough to ask that now where, you know,
because it could be you know of Pat Murphy. But

(01:08:09):
if you get to a game five situation, I think
that might be on the table because of you gave
up four runs, you know, in the first inning here tonight.
But I yeah, it's so you would have went pre
stter in Game two and then Game three hose a Kingtana,
which I thought was gonna be the plan all along.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Yeah, yeah, me too. But again, so line up here,
we saw it a little bit down the stretch here
of the regular season with Yelly leading off, and just
all of a sudden, it was like poof, there it is. Oh,
there's Yelly in the lead off spot. That's something new
this year. He's done it before in years past. Clearly

(01:08:52):
that was in an effort to get ready for the postseason.
I'm wondering why they just in number one, stick with
what they'd been doing in the regular season. In number two,
in this game, Hunter, why didn't you just send out
the exact same same lineup you had for games one
and two? Your scoring runs at will you're two and zero.

(01:09:13):
Throw it at be the aggressor in that, Hey, this
is us. We're going with the same damn lineup and
we're gonna get the same damn results.

Speaker 7 (01:09:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:09:23):
No, I'm with you there, I honestly am I am.
I am in agreement. I don't know. I mean a
tweak or two here, They're fine the whole Yellich in
the leadoff It just it didn't produce. That's what your
offensive production towards the end of the regular season was
not great really, honestly, right, they kind of limped into

(01:09:43):
the finish line, as we know, and Yelich was at
the leadoff spot for a lot of those games. It's
just not for some reason, they just don't produce well
with that. But he is he totally, so like you
don't blame him. I think it's just the configuration for
some reason just doesn't work as well. I get the
Bowers thing. I think you start Bowers, I like Bauers starting,

(01:10:04):
and I get Vaughn hit a home run. I get it.
But I Bowers hit a home run tonight. And then
you look at Lockridge. Okay, you're gonna put Collins in there.
He didn't have a good September. You're gonna put Perkins
in there. He's I mean, he's been good, but I,
you know, like not great. So I don't mind the
lockerage play. So I think it's more the configuration of

(01:10:25):
the line up rather than the people.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
All right, so Christian Yella to play left field. We
just had one of our callers, Ron Great Dude, say
something about, well, Yelly's back maybe worse than Cheerio's hamstring. Yeah,
that would open the door for both Bowers, uh and

(01:10:51):
Vaughan if you wanted to. Cheerio's out there anyway, playing
over to center. I know it's a different position, probably
a more challenging position for sure. Have the hamstring, that's
more well, he's still out there playing left field like
he's gonna let up in left field like he would
let up in center field. He's gonna go get But anyway,
you could also DH Churio. As long as Yellie could

(01:11:14):
play left field, that opens the door for a Perkins
in center field, and that does close the door for Lockridge.

Speaker 6 (01:11:25):
Yeah, I the Yelich thing is interesting. I mean I
I mean, maybe the whole back thing. I don't know.
Maybe it's possible that he's fighting through it, but he's
also producing, and when his back was really bad, he
wasn't producing. So that's that's what would make me question
that a little bit. I think they liked that configuration.
I think they like the speed of Cheerio, even an

(01:11:46):
eighty percent Churio and whatever it is ninety percent out there.
But I thought they would maybe do that in Game
two where okay, you put him in the lineup. You know,
he hurd his hamstring, but he's in the lineup, but
he's just gonna play or he's not gonna play the field, right,
So I yeah, I'm a little perplexed, although I think
they still feel their best defensive alignment is a ninety

(01:12:06):
percent Churio and left and a Yellich at their DH spot. Now,
if you, like you said, you switch them, Okay, if
who I mean? If you're going to have Vaughan and
Bauers in the lineup, you'd have to take out Yellich
er Cheerio, right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Yeah, you're what. You can't get vaugh and Bowers into
the same lineup. It's just impossible right now.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
No, no, yeah, for sure. And you're sure as heck
not taking Cheerio out of the lineup, and you're sure
sure not taking Yellick out of the lineup. So I
think it's a it's a good concern. I think it's
an interesting thought because I think it would make sense
with the injury to Cheerio. But I also I just
think I think they feel they must that their defensive
alignment with Churio and Left is better than Ben Yellis.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Right now, then Yellis would be okay. So uh, then
you have the moment. Let's get to tonight's game, Quinn
priest Or, what a disaster there in that first inning?
It just wasn't on the look, just wasn't there for
him a little overwhelmed. And you know, I started the
show out with Quinn Priester the moment was too big

(01:13:08):
for him.

Speaker 6 (01:13:10):
Yeah, that's that's That's exactly what Pat Murphy said. And
it's like, well, okay, you didn't say the moment was
too big. He said the moment got to him. And
and so you'll hear that coming up. You know, he's like,
I kind of feel for the guy because the moment
got to him a little bit and it just wasn't
the same priest or we had seen. And so unfortunately

(01:13:30):
they had to quickly get someone up, get someone going merrors,
and then and then get out of that, you know, somehow,
some way get out of that first inning as soon
as they noticed that. But again, that goes back to
your start Game two, because you're at home and you
have the crowd behind you and it's for first postseason outing,
and I just I that is the most perplexing thing
of this series. I know you won Game two, but

(01:13:52):
in a five game series, one game sets you up
for another, and so you know, I just I feel
like the Priester in Game two and what we saw
from Tona was great tonight, right, It was only three innings.
I get it, but it was it was a veteran
coming in and putting out the fire when you needed
it and and giving you innings and keeping you in
the ball game. Yeah, so got it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
I loved it. Bill Schmid and I were texting back
and forth and we were both wanting Quintana and his
uh you know reasoning for that is settled the game down,
and he was right on, and it did settle the
game down totally.

Speaker 6 (01:14:26):
It settled this ballpark down, It settled the fans down,
and it got the Brewers a chance to get back
into it, and they had opportunities. Unfortunately they you know,
they've been so good with capitalizing and opportunities, especially with
two outs in this series. But unfortunately that you know,
it's just that that powers that bat in the eighth
inning was I.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Thought it was gonna happen. I was like, oh baby,
just okay. So now your comfort zone, uh pipem and
I said, we're nervous, yeah, a little bit, but not much.
Show us a or deficit mid game tomorrow. Then I
get really really nervous, where are you at with this secnd.

Speaker 6 (01:15:07):
It goes, it goes zero to one hundred for pretty quick. Yeah,
I don't. I am Look, I I think all right.
To be honest, I'm I'm just I'm not nervous about
this team because I think this team is really good
and I think this team is going to come back
and win tomorrow. But I I in the back of

(01:15:31):
my mind it's it's Wisconsin sports. So when that is
in the back of your mind, you have to fight it.
But that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna fight it
because this team is the best Brewers team that's ever
played in the regular season and ninety seven wins. This
is a top to bottom, really deep team when it
comes to the lineup, when it comes to the pitching,
I mean, you look at all the guys they keep
bringing out of the bullpen and how many of them

(01:15:52):
are putting up zeros. I mean, it's it's truly amazing
to think about.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
We're dynamite today. They were rock solid today.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
Yes, you had you had. You know Ashby gave up
what all the runs right in game two, Priester, and
I guess Mears gave up all the runs in the
in game three. Otherwise, your last eight innings, your last
eight innings scoreless, score score goose eggs all around in
sixteen of your last eighteen. It is just the deep
roster that they have of pitching is unbelievable. So that's

(01:16:20):
why I feel like whatever they do tomorrow, I feel
good about it. These guys kind of Okay, we got
you know, some of these rookies, some of these young
players got it under their belt. Okay, we're in a
new environment, road environment. Let's get back to it, get
back to being us. And I like their chances.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
So is it possible then tomorrow that it's going to
be a repeat and it'll be Ashby and Mez.

Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
I think that's a that's a very that's a very
good possibility. While it was in Monday, right, so you've
gotten a couple of days of rest. I think that's
a that's a significant possibility that you could see, especially Ashby. Ashby,
I think it's warming up again. Actually, i'd see it
over on the scoreboard over there. I think he's still
he's warmed up. He warmed up three times tonight, never
came into the game, so he was clearly available, you know,

(01:17:04):
after pitching just a couple of days ago. So I
if I were to lean somewhere I would think that
Gasser is another option he has. He's the only one
who hasn't pitched. I believe in this series, and it's
I don't. I don't think. Yeah, I don't. Especially with
how today went. I think you learned from that and
you go with somebody who's got experience.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
Yeah, I mean, same deal. Look, you know I I
said it earlier Hunter that I don't want to give
Wrigley Field too much credit, but it is a tradition
stadium and it and it can be intimidating to play
in just because of its age and history and its
loud really was yeah no, no it and it gets

(01:17:47):
that way. But that can be intimidated to a young player.
Whereas I don't know a dude like Freddie Peralta, a
guy like hose Kintana Brandon Woodruff would really come in
handy about now for Fortunately that's not gonna happen. But uh, okay,
your your best guess is is a bullpen game or
Freddie Peralta?

Speaker 6 (01:18:09):
Uh oh oh, best guess, I just my gut says
bullpen game. And because I because they did it in
game two and I don't know if it's the same.
Maybe you wait till you hear this, What if you
start miss.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
That's a possibility.

Speaker 6 (01:18:28):
Absolutely, it's a possibility, and it could go one of
one hundred thousand different ways, but it's a possibility, and
I I so that's it's But again he was also
stretched out then he was you know, obviously been in
the bullpen roll for about about two weeks. Now, how
is he bouncing back from you know, pitching three innings,
you know, just a few just a couple of nights ago.
So how does how does that play into it? But

(01:18:50):
if I were to guess, it's a bullpen game and
depending on the problem is you know, Patrick throw one
in the two thirds Anderson through two innings, so you're
gonna have to get Look, you have your leverage though, right,
mcil your eBay, So somehow get there and get just
get that offense going. Because you get that offense going,
I think the pitching he'll do just fine.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Guess there's probably your long leverage guy. I think maybe
maybe yeah, eat.

Speaker 6 (01:19:14):
Up some middle innings, yeah somehow all.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Right, Well, yeah, we're gonna hear from Pat Murphy. I
know he talks about the best bunner on the team
is his Uckridge and how that bunt failed. I think
just the bunt call I would question itself. You just
had Lockridge with a thirteen pitch at bat, probably forty
five minutes prior to that, and I questioned even the

(01:19:40):
bunt call. It's exciting, it's a safety. It turned out
that both runners moved over anyway. So yeah, but yeah,
I would question that either pinch hit right there, or
do you just let Breckinridge swing away?

Speaker 7 (01:19:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:19:56):
Maybe I mean Durbin honestly though, that second time he
was heading towards home, so of course he gets in
the rundown. But the second time, if he keeps going
and dives towards the plate, I think he gets in.
He just he was so worried about getting those guys
over that he wanted to keep him staying that rundown
so the runner can get a second But man, I
think he actually beats it if he goes, and then
everybody's safe, just like that pop up in the infield.

(01:20:18):
How about that one oh man in the first sitting.

Speaker 1 (01:20:21):
Wow, and they had to take bigger advantage. They win
the game. Maybe if you do You're right, all right, hunter,
We'll talk to you again tomorrow. We'll do it. It's
game four, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:20:29):
Game four, We'll do it again from Wrigley Thanks guys.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
All right, Hunter bombguard at Wrigley Field after a four
to three Brewers loss. We're gonna hear from Pat Murphy

back to it and say hello to Tim you are

(01:21:15):
next on the game?

Speaker 17 (01:21:18):
Well wall you know what?

Speaker 5 (01:21:20):
Right? You know?

Speaker 17 (01:21:22):
Justin Where where does he call from?

Speaker 12 (01:21:25):
Again?

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
North Carolina?

Speaker 13 (01:21:27):
Yep, Dad, dude is awesome.

Speaker 12 (01:21:31):
Man is awesome?

Speaker 16 (01:21:33):
He is?

Speaker 17 (01:21:35):
Yeah, he is man because he fires me up. And
I've been stewing and seeing I'm so you know, p
old right right, I'm very p old right now I'm
p old man, I'm above and beyond that right now, well,
I'm starting to stumble down.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
I'm starting to settle in a little bit. The Brewers
have a chance to go to the NLCS because they
win tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (01:22:01):
That's correct.

Speaker 17 (01:22:02):
Okay, it's not the end. I'll be all to day.
But uh, you guys have been speaking the language that
I listened to. If it ain't broke, you don't fix it, right.
And there's a lot of collars, then there's a lot
of callers. I love them to death, man, I mean
I love them, but man, they want to be really nice.

(01:22:26):
I want to hear some anger. No, I want to
hear from the colors, you know the man. You know
they could no. No, you know what I mean, you know,
like that kind of dout. But I know what I'm
gonna have for dinner tonight. I'm gonna have some Unholy
priest or water with no rice and Breckinridge toes and

(01:22:50):
some Murphy chicken legs on ice, of course, with a
bonnemore and a lack of or teeth.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
That's tough. I don't know base.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
The side of men on base.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
All right? Well, good stuff him?

Speaker 17 (01:23:13):
You know that guy every time, every time he comes
up with men on base, you might as well just say.

Speaker 5 (01:23:18):
Oh, it's over.

Speaker 17 (01:23:22):
That guy has left more eight, that guy has left
more men on base. Man, I'm trying to get a
good like what do you call that? We're like an
analogy or something like that, a description of something. Well,
I think he might have left more men on base.

(01:23:42):
Then Jesus saved.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
Okay, we can't forget about.

Speaker 17 (01:23:54):
Well, I'm sorry, no, I know that's a little but
I mean, okay, okay, here we go.

Speaker 9 (01:24:01):
This is this is this is very crazy.

Speaker 17 (01:24:04):
I'm gonna get nuts now.

Speaker 13 (01:24:06):
We know.

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
We don't cook real fast.

Speaker 17 (01:24:10):
To talk to you, guys, you waited five days.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
I'll give you ten more seconds.

Speaker 5 (01:24:17):
Okay.

Speaker 17 (01:24:18):
I love you guys. I want everybody to pray for
tomorrow that we win, because if we don't, I want
perfect fire.

Speaker 3 (01:24:26):
Oh you have the dump button.

Speaker 13 (01:24:31):
On that one?

Speaker 1 (01:24:32):
Yeah, you might have to wow, talk about it, just
bad take wow.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
After falling behind one nothing, Philadelphia now has a three
to one lead over the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
All right, giving them a little bit of hope too.
Let's go to Zach. Zach, you are next here on
the game.

Speaker 13 (01:24:55):
It's not gonna be too hard to top of that
previous caller, too tight man of the year, and we're
not firing him. We did have a little Craig Council
flashback with getting the tinkering going. Yes, but I think
I think there's a couple of things here. We really
understand how important brand of Brandon Woodruff is to this team.

(01:25:19):
Obviously he has proven his worth because everything. Murphy had
a very easy job this year because he had such
reliable rotation and everybody with Woodruff. Yet he had the one,
two three with Priester. It was like he it was
a perfect rhythm. All of a sudden it went out
a rhythm. He got away with that bullpen game. The

(01:25:40):
offense woke up and and things were great on on
on Monday for Game two, and what I wanted to
say was the he's and I don't want to call
myself a bridesmaid Brewer fan. Okay, I hated Craig Council.
I was in the ten percent that could not stand

(01:26:02):
the guy. I could not stand that Ron Rennick. He
started mark him in Game six and left Guyardo on
the bench. Like there's Brewers flashbacks, there's some nightmare stuff.
Eighteen pitching to Bellinger and I don't want to get
to that stage with Murphy. Lockridge and me are like
the scene. I'm forty nine. I didn't get past twelve.

(01:26:23):
You baseball, we had the same rights to be on
this postseason roster zero. So Tobias Myers not being on
this roster was you see it tonight because now it's
like where is Tobi? We needed a Tobias Myers to
be on this roster because Gaser is going to pitch tomorrow.
You cannot You have to go Gasser, ask askby, and

(01:26:45):
miss because you have to make sure that we are
prepared for Game five if it gets to that. And
the question I have for you guys, and I didn't
hear earlier in the show. One out, eighth inning, we
have a guy on second base, and I was like,
you have to bunt this guy over wild kitch whatever.

(01:27:06):
He's on third now, even with two outs, so what
you have a chance. We needed to go for that
tie to get to to get to extra innings or
whatever we got to do. So I felt that we lost,
but it's not like I mean, they had one inning,
we had bases loaded in the first inning. We had
the gift from the sun gods gave us, gave us

(01:27:26):
this gift with controversies pop up, and Okay, Freelich did
his job. So it's like we didn't get outplayed. We
got out played in one inning. Other than that, we lost,
and yet we still played a good baseball game. Other
than what you guys brought up about the Durban sake
that bun, I was like, what are you doing? There

(01:27:48):
was no reason for it because all you needed was
down and hard and Durban's gonna score anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
Yeah, it was a weird or bonus yap double who knows.

Speaker 13 (01:27:58):
Yeah, And and I was, as I was listening to
some of your callers, you know what I came to
my came to my mind. Murphy has rolled the dice
and it's worked. So it's like he's, you know Monasterio,
you know, pinch hitting home run in Cincinnati for you know,
to to win eight, nine to eight or whatever. He's
done some things this year out of the box, and

(01:28:20):
he's it's worse for him. So it's kind of like
he has this he has this grace, uh from the fans,
but yet it's like some of the stuff he can
still he's still guilty of some boneheaded stuff. I still
love it. I would give him a lifetime, lifetime manager
for me. He can manage the next you know, five
ten years, give it to Ricky and and another ten years.

Speaker 5 (01:28:40):
No problem. I'm all, I'm all for it.

Speaker 13 (01:28:43):
But there was a couple of weird things.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
And I I think.

Speaker 13 (01:28:48):
Not being on the rock yep, the tinkering, thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
The tinkering will Well, and that the way you started,
and that's what tankering, Zach. Great call. Great call, because yeah,
you love him and we talked about about that an
hour ago. It doesn't mean we don't love him, it
doesn't mean we don't trust him, but it also doesn't
mean we can't question him. Of course we can any manager.
That's a great thing about this game strategy. Let's go

(01:29:13):
to John. You're next here on ninety seven to three
of the game.

Speaker 11 (01:29:18):
Hey, fellas, John, I'm going to throw it back back
at you in reverse. So instead of sharing my two
thoughts and I'll be brief, I want to ask at
least two questions. So Tim, I'll start with you. Do
you think both Kintana and Priester were going to pitch tonight?
I'm not talking about order. Do you think they were
both pitching tonight, given how games one and two went

(01:29:39):
and the fact that they both had availability.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
I did, but I thought it'd be reverse order.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
Yes I did not.

Speaker 11 (01:29:47):
Yeah, okay, and I understand. Here's my thought. I had
talked to Hunter earlier in the week and before the
announcement was made who was going to follow Asky? And
I thought for sure they were going to do Mizrowski.
I was dead set on it. And it was because
if you were to take kin Kana, Priester and Miserrawski,
who is the more volatile in terms of maybe running

(01:30:07):
into the emotion of having to make a playoffs start
down at Wrigley Misowski. But I think through the first
two games, Murphy pulled all the right levers, especially with
his pitching staff, and the results showed. Even after going
down in both those games, they bounced back offensively and
the pitchers from that point on held served. Tonight, I

(01:30:29):
actually wanted Priestor than Kingtana. Once again, I would have
been okay with either order. But the truth of the
matter is priest had a really bad start. That happens.
He had been goals for us all year. But the
end game, the end goal is a world series, right,
And at some point, especially with Woodruff hurt, you need
to get these guys experience. And I think it was

(01:30:49):
either Miserowski or priest was gonna have to pitch today.
And who knows, Priestar might not have been better in
the third or fourth if he was, you know, had
the pressure in the moment, right, it's just balk and
bounce one way the other. And that's the other one
I make And this was actually brought on from a
previous caller. You think about Churio's potential injury. You think
about the fact that we've been really lucky with Yellish

(01:31:11):
this season, but there could be something lingering. You never know. Otherwise,
why wouldn't he be a left field over Jackson with
the handy right, That's why Lockridge is on the roster.
And here's the deal, Reez Hoskins. I get it, he
has more of a proven track record long term. But
do you want to know how Reece Hoskins was last
year in the wild Card series zero over nine with
three strikeouts I think maybe one sack fly and then

(01:31:34):
he was one for ten to end the regular season
coming off an injury. And he's not at all the
defensive player or speed threat at Lockridges. So I'll tell
you what. I texted Hunter as well right after the
Lockridge at bat. Thirteen pitches he was on them. The
bunt was a stuge myth.

Speaker 9 (01:31:52):
I get it.

Speaker 11 (01:31:53):
But from a practical fanpoint, you have Lockridge on the
roster because he can play the outfield if yell At
or Churio was in a bind and Collins or Perkins
got cold, and he's more of an all around threat.
So it's tricky. I think Murphy's pushed a lot of
the right buttons. And I'll end it with this. And
this is the second question I had. If I told

(01:32:13):
you guys on May twenty fourth, when we were twenty
five and twenty eight, that we would be up to
to one in the Division series versus and could have
won all three games, I hope you wouldn't.

Speaker 12 (01:32:24):
Just take it.

Speaker 11 (01:32:25):
I hope you'd be as giddy as I am. Well,
they will get it tomorrow or couldn't last. All right,
let's stay positive. We got it tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
John, Thank you, Thank you, engineer, John. Thank you for
the help with my gear earlier today. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:32:39):
All right, let's go to rich Ritch, you are next
before we get to Murphy in just a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:32:47):
Hey, guys, nice to hear your voices again. Thank you
should have today's a would have should a game. And
I told you guys about a week in the story
about my voice. I had surgery today. A little horse.

(01:33:09):
I wish it was a horse instead of amazingly. Well,
we hope you're all right, buddy, Well I hope I
get better.

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
Listen.

Speaker 8 (01:33:18):
So anyways, I told you guys a week and a
half ago, a manager will win you four or five games,
and you'll lose your four or five games. Unfortunately, we
got one of those games in the playoffs. But if
Murphy is Murphy trying to say I'm better than I am,
sometimes you are sometimes, So I think he gets caught

(01:33:38):
in himself. And I think he got caught in himself
on yesterday when he announced that the priest was going
to start. I think he got caught in himself because
if he knew this kid was a college kid a
while back, and he's never been in this situation before,

(01:34:00):
he's had eleven to twelve days off, and you put
him in front of his basically home field fan fans
instead of play replacing him, putting him in on game two.
I think team has played that. It would have been
a great day today for a would have should have
done it yesterday today game. And that's how you kind

(01:34:22):
of get caught in this stuff. And another thing, and
I'll finish with this. How many teams have you seen
in the playoffs or in half to have games or
should have games, or try to get close this thing
out games put their best RBI man at his leadoff.

(01:34:46):
I just think I got to call Murphy on that.

Speaker 5 (01:34:50):
It's he did this.

Speaker 8 (01:34:51):
I mean, Murphy didn't do this, but Council did it
in seven the first two years that he was in
the league at the Bruce College. Good up here, but Yelich,
but you've got to have him third or fourth. There's
just no way any coach or any manager in this

(01:35:14):
big league system are gonna have your best RBI man
hitting or hitting first.

Speaker 1 (01:35:20):
Yeah. I gotta be yeah, yeah, no, I I totally
get it. Rich, thank you. I hope you heal up. Okay,
thank you. We'll be in touch. Yeah, yell. It's to
me would be in that three or four spot. In fact,
for me, it would be cleaning up. But that's just me,
I'm gonna trust in the first inning that either terrang

(01:35:41):
Churio or Contreras gets at least a base hit to
get to Yellis. I'm gonna trust that. I'm gonna trust
my top three hitters to get on base to put
as Rich says, your top RBI guy with a chance
to knock in that runner two that's in front of him.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Yeah, I agree on thousand, but uh tinkering.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
Yeah, maybe that's it. The other thing, real quick before
the break, the mental part of the game. Another reason
why I'd go with King Tana over Priest to start. Now,
you can piggyback him, preser, that's fine, you come in
in third, fourth, fifth, whatever, after Kingtana you know, does
what he does. It also gives a younger dude like

(01:36:25):
that in a playoff atmosphere a chance to read the room,
a chance to feel the vibe and understand, you know,
how big, how loud, how electric. That's another reason. I mean,
that's that's just the mental part of the game that
that plays into this a little bit. But what do
I know. I'm just we're just knuckleheads talking about a

(01:36:47):
baseball team we love, all right, It's the postgame show
with Potawatomy sportsbook bet above the rest. Pat Murphy up next,
and he'll unpack a lot more than we did and
do a much better job doing it on the other
side of the break. Here here on ninety seven through
the game and the iHeartRadio app. Well, a couple of

(01:37:08):
sort of non baseball tidbits here if you will, do
you notice the Brewers get something cooking in the first
inning and poof, oh the Pitchcolm, PitchCom doesn't work.

Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Oh, I'm sure that was just a coincidence, Timmy.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
Oh, that's right, it was a coincidence. Oh yeh, PitchCom
didn't work. Andn't that funny timing?

Speaker 3 (01:37:30):
Mm hmm it's a little yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a little.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
Just started the game, He's just funny. Funny timing makes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):
You raise an eyebrow. But it was funny because I
was listening to MLB Network or watching it or whatever
the hell you want to call it, and they we're
talking about the PitchCom and oh, well, most of the
time it's not the actual PitchCom equipment, because that's very
very reliable. Usually it's operator error, like they don't have
the volume up or something like that. There's an issue

(01:38:00):
caused by the players, which is why it doesn't work. Well,
if that's the case, then baseball needs to step in.
And you know, if it's because you don't have the
volume up, the runner or you know, the hitter automatically
gets first base there all the runners get to move
up a bag. You got to make it where it's
you know, there's some kind of penalty for sitting there

(01:38:21):
playing these games.

Speaker 1 (01:38:22):
It's the dumbest interface into the game of baseball from
technology on the planet by far. Nothing else is closer
for instant replay, you know, whatever it might be in
terms of technology.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
Would I call I still think those foul line nets
are stupid?

Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is I will go with you
on that. I mean I could see a section to where, hey,
you want to be up close, here's the section you
want to be protect. Here's a section, say for someone
that's not I don't know, a fleet afoot isn't real

(01:39:08):
shock or maybe maybe can't see.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
Well, yeah, I remember back in the day, the family
section at County Stadium was in the bleachers.

Speaker 1 (01:39:17):
Right, and you couldn't have booze in the family sections.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
Yeah, you couldn't drink and you had about a mile
you know, you had a mile and a half head
start to find a ball and follow it if it
was heading into poor or poor little Stevie's head.

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
But you can't. You had to influx walkie talkies from
sixty feet six inches away when you had signals and signs,
and and oh it's because of runners. At second, he's
stealing your signs, changed the indicator. He doesn't know where
the end. Always he's putting. He's given you a he's
given the hitter his hitter, the runner at second giving

(01:39:54):
his hitter a location. Well, then oh gee, set up
over here, and then you know the pitchers over here.
Light Contreros already does yes, figure it out, Yeah, figure
it out. It's been going on for over one hundred years,
and you got to put this nonsense walkie talkies in
agree basketball up and away. Oh yay, that's what we

(01:40:19):
need to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
I wonder if they could change the accent on that, like,
you know, if Quinn Priester wants it to be good day.

Speaker 1 (01:40:26):
Quinn like like an Australian body. Speaking of which, we
saw some some Brits out in Vegas and we had
our Milwaukee stuff on it. The one dude is completely
plastered and he goes, Oh, they're the Milwaukeees. You're the Milwaukeees. Yeah.

(01:40:50):
Another little tidbit here, What did you think of what's
his name, Ron Darling, Roger Darling, Yeah, Darling.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
Rudolph whatever, Reginald.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
This dude, most things, it's like seventy five twenty five,
seventy five percent from the Cubs perspective of the game. Now,
I don't know if anyone's going to be tough enough
to tell the dude this as a programmer or as
his producer or director or his boss. Someone needs to

(01:41:21):
tell him, hey, you're a little skewed on the perspective.

Speaker 5 (01:41:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:41:24):
What he's saying is not necessarily in disagreement by me,
because he's talking baseball language and I like that language.
But the way he's conveying it is seventy five percent
of it is always from the Cub's perspective of the game.
In fact, he was counting outs for the Cubs win

(01:41:45):
in the fifth inning. Darling, you're starting to be exposed
a little bit here, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
Yeah, I'm not new here.

Speaker 5 (01:41:56):
Ron.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
If you're getting a recording of this, I'm not new
doing this. Your your your analysis is from the Cubs perspective. Dude,
straighten it out a little bit on.

Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
Right, Rudolph Darling, You're no Darling calling games like that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
You're a little Bach.

Speaker 1 (01:42:14):
All right. Then the final thing is we're gonna get
into Pat Murphy here. It's funny how you know the
PitchCom doesn't work at the beginning of the game, but
now Pat Murphy the Brewers press conference. The microphone doesn't
work for the press pool. Isn't that funny how that works?
It just whoops it it doesn't work. I understand there's
technical difficulties, but seems to be with the Brewers. But

(01:42:38):
here he is Pat Murphy. First couple of questions you
won't hear from the pass press pool, and then they'll
figure it out. This is something good scene.

Speaker 16 (01:42:54):
Yeah, I think he h. I think the moment got
to him a little bit.

Speaker 18 (01:42:58):
I think this is again he's not technically a rookie,
but that's his first postseason appearance and had.

Speaker 16 (01:43:05):
A long layoff. It's at its hometown. Yeah, I feel
for him because that's not typically.

Speaker 18 (01:43:14):
How he's done this year, and it gave them a
jump start and was the difference in the game.

Speaker 19 (01:43:25):
The first innings, these first three games from both sides,
Just how would you describe the way the games these
games have been starting.

Speaker 18 (01:43:33):
Yeah, I mean both teams come out fire, and you
know that's what it's about. You know, they they know us,
we know them. There's a lot of emotion in the game,
and it says something for both teams. Really tonight the
Cubs got the best of it.

Speaker 16 (01:43:50):
Credit goes to them.

Speaker 20 (01:43:53):
Christina.

Speaker 7 (01:43:53):
You just speak to the missed opportunities your team had
kind of in certain instances in the game.

Speaker 18 (01:44:00):
Yeah, you got to get the big hit sometimes, you
know what I mean, we didn't get the big hit.
The bunt is an easy run right there. He butted
it a little too hard. He's the best bunner we have.
And yeah, it happens.

Speaker 3 (01:44:16):
Almost got out of that first with just one inning.
How big was Pete's hit there?

Speaker 16 (01:44:21):
Huge, huge hit at a huge time, very clutch.

Speaker 18 (01:44:25):
That's what had to happen for us. We had to
get that big two out hit and didn't get it. Oftentimes,
when you see close games, you look.

Speaker 16 (01:44:36):
At the the.

Speaker 18 (01:44:38):
Runners in scoring position, how successful you were, and yeah,
we didn't get the big hit. We did hit some
balls hard, But credit to them and what they did
in the first inning to do just enough to win.

Speaker 20 (01:44:55):
We could pass the mic back over to Kurt.

Speaker 21 (01:45:00):
Murph. That Bowers at bat in the eighth. Did it
seem like the speed with which Keller got right back
in that at that maybe I don't know, flipped it
or flipped it on Bowers or just what did you
see from from that one from Bowers?

Speaker 16 (01:45:13):
The Bowers at bat. Yeah, in the eighth, yes, three
to zero count? Was it a three zero count?

Speaker 14 (01:45:18):
It was?

Speaker 21 (01:45:18):
It was one to oh and then it went to
one two And.

Speaker 18 (01:45:23):
Yeah, I mean Bowers had an incredible game. Without him,
we're not in the game. He had the big, big
RBI single and then a big homer and uh yeah,
I felt good about the bat uh coming in. I
think he did too. I think he was maybe a
little shocked by the heaters, how many heaters had got
in a row. The sequencing was pretty good. And you know,

(01:45:45):
credit credit the catcher and credit the pitcher there for
you know, a little bit unconventional.

Speaker 16 (01:45:51):
Heater heater hitter, you know, like, but it is what
it is.

Speaker 18 (01:45:55):
But pitching's really good these days, and you know, Bowers
was was fantastic tonight.

Speaker 16 (01:46:05):
We had some great pitching performances tonight too.

Speaker 17 (01:46:07):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (01:46:08):
Quintana gave us three plus and the job, Patrick did
the job. Anderson, did you know to give us a chance?
I thought, I thought those three guys in particular were outstanding.

Speaker 16 (01:46:21):
And to shut the Cubs down.

Speaker 18 (01:46:23):
For eight innings in their home park with what an
electric environment for them.

Speaker 20 (01:46:29):
Go to Kyle straight back on the left, Pat just
kind of what what kind of for Michael Bush is
the hit or just kind of what challenges does he
present to you know, your pitching.

Speaker 16 (01:46:39):
Sat Yeah, between Bush and Suzuki right now, you don't know.

Speaker 18 (01:46:43):
And Horner and you know, they just got a great
lineup one through nine. They got a great lineup. Uh,
one of the best, really, and that's how the team
was built. And they've they've done a good job and
they're they're still alive. Bush in particular, I mean, he's
come into his own.

Speaker 16 (01:46:59):
This guy's you know, you gotta make pitches to him.

Speaker 20 (01:47:06):
Sorry, Murph, we'll take two on the right, third row
and then the second row, Murph to go back to
that bunt play.

Speaker 7 (01:47:12):
Once Caleb got in that rundown and Shaw had the ball,
do you think he had a chance to beat him
to the player.

Speaker 20 (01:47:16):
Were you okay with.

Speaker 7 (01:47:17):
Him kind of going back to stay in the rundown
and get the runners up.

Speaker 11 (01:47:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:47:21):
I think the first thing is is right handed guy
in a mound, right handed.

Speaker 18 (01:47:27):
Hitter, so the third basement was close to the base,
so you don't get as big a lead. I was
confident with Lockerache's bunning ability, which he did all week
and the practice week, and he's really good at it.
I'm sure he could get that bunt down. Bush made
a great play, but I wish Caleb would have kept going.

Speaker 16 (01:47:46):
I think if he would have just accelerate.

Speaker 18 (01:47:48):
And believe and dove in there, it would have taken
a great throw.

Speaker 20 (01:47:52):
We'll take two more second row here.

Speaker 18 (01:47:54):
Then he's gonna certainly it's gonna be close enough. He's
gonna be safe at first. Now we've got something going.

Speaker 20 (01:48:00):
Yeah, I'll take two more second round. We'll finish up
with Christina.

Speaker 10 (01:48:05):
I Pat when you look at Cantana doubting that he
had you just talked a little bit about that. How
what did you see from him in terms of just
kind of keeping the Cubs from building momentum.

Speaker 16 (01:48:14):
That was a huge part of the game, and he
gave us a chance.

Speaker 18 (01:48:18):
That experience and that poise, he threw the ball great
and gave us a chance to win the game. Three
innings in that moment right there was was huge and yeah,
and kept us from going deeper into our pen and
you know all that, So couldn't be more pleased with,
like I said, with the job him and Patrick did.

(01:48:39):
Those five innings were and Anderson. Those seven innings, you know,
change the game for us.

Speaker 20 (01:48:45):
And then just who's your game for starter?

Speaker 16 (01:48:48):
I haven't decigned yet.

Speaker 20 (01:48:52):
All right, thanks Murph, We'll see you tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:48:54):
Thanks you guys. There. He is Pat Murphy after the
Brewers four three loss and still undecided on a picture
starting pitcher tomorrow. Pipeam, who do you go with?

Speaker 3 (01:49:06):
Well, he said, he hasn't made up his mind yet.

Speaker 2 (01:49:08):
So for me personally, I want to see Freddy just
because I want to end this whole thing. You know,
I'm so torn because, like I said, if you sit
there and you throw somebody else and you win, then
you got Freddy ready for the NLCS Game one. I'm
willing to take the chance and go Freddy tomorrow and

(01:49:29):
use him for Game two of the NLCS.

Speaker 1 (01:49:32):
All right, and then the final thing before break, we'll
get to some text messages. At the beginning of the
Murph comments section there he talked about the electric environment
and against a good team and all the reasons why
he shouldn't have started him.

Speaker 2 (01:49:50):
Huh yeah, yeah, he gave all Yeah, he sat there
and that one that little clip there could have been
used to do the first half hour of our show tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:50:01):
Yes, that's exactly what we were saying. Yes, all right,
we'll take a break, get to your text messages. Brewers
fall four to three in Game three of the NLDS
here in the twenty five Championship season. We're talking about
it postgame show with Potawatomi Sportsbook on the game. Well,
you thought it was good through the first two games,
and now after three games, Oh yeah, this is really

(01:50:24):
getting good. Game four NLDS in the twenty twenty five
Championship season is tomorrow night. Let's get to some text
messages before we cut loose here tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
Oh yeah again, plenty, plenty plenty. The Cubs bias is
sick tbs Ron Darling and whoever the other loser is,
they suck. Act like the Brewers are the little brother
that just wants to hang out, but isn't cool enough
for the big kids. JJ was Murphy on a bathroom

(01:50:58):
break in the top of the fourth kind of managerial
decisions were those.

Speaker 1 (01:51:02):
I didn't like it. I didn't like the bunt call.
I didn't like even Breckinridge with a bat in his
hand right there. But if you were going to bat him,
don't buy him. Let him swing away. Just had a
thirteen pitch at bat against that same pitcher.

Speaker 2 (01:51:17):
Yeah, Joey or tier or Tease rears his ugly one
fifty four average with risb again.

Speaker 1 (01:51:25):
Yeah, he didn't look good.

Speaker 2 (01:51:27):
I'm not here to question merv but I like Patrick
as an opener. If Kinana wasn't available, could have would have.
Hindsight is twenty twenty. Quinn Priester wasn't sharp today.

Speaker 1 (01:51:40):
No, that was a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (01:51:41):
That was awful, ridiculous. Murf didn't pinch hit Vaughn with
the bases loaded.

Speaker 1 (01:51:48):
Witch looked worse Priester's first inning of work, meaning it's
two outs or Bryce Haraang's at bat in the eighth
inning after a leadoff double.

Speaker 2 (01:51:58):
Oh Man, dude, that was one of the worst at
bats of the year.

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
It had it had to be maybe the worst at
bat of his year.

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
Well and not just him, maybe, you know, for all of.

Speaker 1 (01:52:09):
Them, that was Yeah, maybe that was bad.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Uh. Two six' two is, Struggling terrang in a three,
hole not Starting, kintana not Having, terrang, bunt Starting, lockridge,
poorly poorly, managed a missed game By, murph and we
still almost figured it out despite all of.

Speaker 1 (01:52:29):
That despite all, that, YEAH i agree with. You now
against right, handers which you faced alrighty, tonight a little
different configuration than the first two games in which you
were facing. Lefties so but against a right hander moving,
forward it looks like this is what he's going to.
Do one, three, five and seven hitters are going to

(01:52:52):
be lefty, bats and those one, three, five seven can
you name, them of, Course, Jelich, Terrang, Freelick. Bowers that's
what's going to happen moving.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Forward it looks, LIKE i, know you know HOW i
feel about the whole stagger right left right left.

Speaker 1 (01:53:08):
Crap.

Speaker 2 (01:53:08):
Two i'm not a big. Fan you don't make changes
during a playoff. Push it's bad.

Speaker 1 (01:53:15):
Karma, Yeah i'm not a big fan of changing What,
Okay so, look you tinkered with it toward the end
of the. Season you got into the playoffs and in THE,
nlds you face two straight lefties at that, point and
you beat. Them you beat them pretty soundly. Too your
offense looked great for. Two give that same lineup a

(01:53:39):
crack at a right. Hander if they put that same
lineup in here For game, THREE i think they win the. Game,
okay same same, way despite What bowers. Did And bowers
had a great.

Speaker 2 (01:53:54):
Game huh makes, Sense Hawkeye, addison the dukie is still
running Down priester's.

Speaker 3 (01:54:02):
Leg that one backfired On murph. Badly. Yeah, now how
bad does this game affect the?

Speaker 1 (01:54:11):
Bullpen not too. MUCH i, mean you, Know Grant anderson
And Chad patrick took care of. THAT i mean they
they soaked up a bunch of. Innings and so you've
got your guys out there if you need them when
you need.

Speaker 2 (01:54:26):
Them, Yeah jesse And madison says this is a bad.
Loss all the pressure is back On milwaukee to prove
everyone that they can win a. Series can't let this
go to a fifth, game you just.

Speaker 1 (01:54:42):
Can't you got to get it done. TOMORROW i would
say it's a little more, pressure BUT i wouldn't say
it's the most. Pressure most pressure is on The.

Speaker 2 (01:54:49):
Cubs laurie From, Waukesha, Well Father quinn slash The Judas
priester beat himself, tonight just couldn't get. Strikes terrang himself this.
Series hope he snaps out of. It the boys had
lots of. Chances oh, well let's win tomorrow and move on.

Speaker 3 (01:55:07):
In the twenty twenty Five. Championships there you, go.

Speaker 2 (01:55:12):
Bases loaded in the, Seventh bowers strikes. Out so what
you're saying is that we should start.

Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
Your rebay or McGill. Tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:55:21):
Lol, Yep, hey that's, one you, know hopefully one way
to make sure that they don't score in the first.
Inning And gasser's your. Closer i've been saying since the
beginning of this. Series kinana should be the picture For game.
Three he used to be A. Cub he Knows. Wrigly

(01:55:42):
last Time priester was In, wrigly it went, badly.

Speaker 16 (01:55:47):
Too.

Speaker 3 (01:55:47):
Bad murphy doesn't listen to.

Speaker 1 (01:55:49):
Us that's from what he did on the, Road King, Tana,
murph look what He look What King tana did on
the road against you year in a playoff. Game uh?
Huh that just that should have been an indicator right
then and there he's Going game, three god fool, okay go.

Speaker 2 (01:56:14):
On, Ah lexas didn't work, out but who would have
thought That miz And priester would have had the results
they did the last two. Games i'm not sure if
it's levering or, grindel but they use the term and
the beat goes. On Didn't timmy coin that phrase back

(01:56:35):
in the.

Speaker 1 (01:56:35):
Day we did in twenty. Eighteen that was our theme. Thing,
yeah that was the beat goes?

Speaker 3 (01:56:41):
On, yeah that was a good.

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
Song michael And South milwaukee felt Like murph put the
lineup and game plan together knowing we could lose two
games and still be. ALIVE i do not like that at.
All put YOUR a plus lineup in and win the
game and the series right now, now no quote Unquote sunday.
Lineups we need to shift the focus to. Tomorrow freddy

(01:57:07):
had to pitch a scoreless first inning And murph needs
to manage like it's a must win.

Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
GAME i think you gotta be careful with this. Line
we've had many callers mention, it and we just have
to be careful with getting guys experience in the. Postseason
we have to be careful with. THAT i don't know
if that should be a focus of. ATTENTION i think

(01:57:33):
that should be a focus of. Need if the younger
dudes are, Needed i'm good with. It but IF i
have veterans right now that have been through, there these
things and have done, this that's Who i'm going.

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
With mm.

Speaker 2 (01:57:48):
Hmm jerry And antioch, says the woodpeckers broke their beaks.

Speaker 1 (01:57:54):
Tonight they're packing away on some metal poll instead of a.

Speaker 2 (01:58:00):
Tree, ryan he's texting in From South.

Speaker 3 (01:58:05):
Korea, Nice, yeah don't.

Speaker 2 (01:58:07):
Head, north my brother, SAYS i Love, murph but BUT
i feel like he was channeling his Inner greg clownsel.
Tonight vaughn should have hit For freelick in the eighth lefty.

Speaker 1 (01:58:20):
PITCH i thought about, it thought about, it and the
left he had to stay in the. Game he hadn't
he hadn't faced his three hitters, yet. Yep AND i
did think about. That you were gonna have to move
things around in that outfield and the infield a little.
Bit but you're not. ALONE i did think.

Speaker 17 (01:58:38):
Of, that.

Speaker 3 (01:58:39):
Yep, yeah uh, yeah that's it's a great.

Speaker 1 (01:58:42):
Ye at the end of the, DAY i remember telling
you pipe. Bomb, yeah BUT i think you just gotta
let freelick play it out. Here yep.

Speaker 2 (01:58:51):
Uh quintana even look pissed while he was, pitching like,
Really i'm in to stop the.

Speaker 1 (01:58:56):
Bleeding oh, okay okay maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
Yeah Steven yoder Says priesters should have been honest with
the staff about his nerves and emotions prior to the.

Speaker 1 (01:59:11):
Start. Yeah those competitors like. That they they're not Gonna
they're not gonna go.

Speaker 13 (01:59:16):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:59:17):
Yeah harley The hero Says, tim you should be nervous right.

Speaker 1 (01:59:22):
Now i'm a little, nervous not, much but a little,
nervous a little more THAN i was than coming into this. Game,
same it's this little step ladder approach.

Speaker 2 (01:59:32):
Here jeff and A truck, Says i'm nervous because we
gave away a. Game it's the freaking playoffs. Preached justin
didn't Like anderson being, in but he did get the job.

Speaker 3 (01:59:45):
Done it sure.

Speaker 2 (01:59:46):
Did at, TIMES i feel like The brewers are managing
today for the. Future they wanted to give their young guys.
Experience that's Why hoskins didn't make the.

Speaker 1 (01:59:56):
Roster, WELL i, mean what do he experience? For what
for next year's?

Speaker 3 (02:00:03):
Postseason, YEAH i don't.

Speaker 6 (02:00:06):
Know it's the.

Speaker 1 (02:00:07):
Thing use them when you need. Them, yes they were
an integral part of your. Winning but this is kind
of a new. Season it. Is if you're talking About
Jose kingtana not starting in potentially the first four games
of the, postseason why did you get? Him? Then what

(02:00:30):
did he do last year At American Family field in
A mets. Uniform, yeah go back and look at the box,
score what he did on the road in a, big,
big big. Game just saying, Now i'm not saying that
he won't be in a big game on the road
in this year's, postseason but he should have been in

(02:00:52):
it today to start. It they don't score four runs
If kingtana starts his. Game i'm convinced of. THAT i.
Agree not in the first, Inning.

Speaker 2 (02:01:04):
Gino Says murphy overmanaged with Starting. Lockridge lights way too
bright For. Priester missed opportunity in the first to put
up a crooked. Number another missed opportunity during the safety, squeeze,
obvious missed opportunity in the eighth with the bases. Loaded
cubs were never going to lose this. Game but we

(02:01:25):
will win five to two.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
Tomorrow, yeah good.

Speaker 1 (02:01:28):
Prediction i'll take.

Speaker 2 (02:01:29):
It we also need a competent offensive. Shortstop jesus made
cannot get here quick enough.

Speaker 1 (02:01:37):
A competent offensive short. Stop, okay, YEAH i don't know
who he's talking about, There, YEAH i. Don't, oh Joe, yoh.

Speaker 2 (02:01:49):
It's not fun when you're sixty two and have high blood.
Pressure i'm now beside. Myself priestless probably smelled the pea.
Troughs look At peralta's numbers off four days.

Speaker 3 (02:02:03):
Rest not.

Speaker 2 (02:02:04):
Great, no, agreed he's the guy that needs an extra.
Day wonder if that's going into the. DECISION i would
still go With, FREDDY i.

Speaker 1 (02:02:13):
Would i'm still going With.

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
Freddie, YEAH dz in Late, Geneva murphy's getting a big
head with all the. Attention he totally out coached himself, Today, freddie, Damn,
well better start. Tomorrow if, NOT i don't. Know IF
i can, watch you can. Watch, yeah you'll. Watch we all.

(02:02:36):
Will for as much talk as there has been on
this show About, Priester Bryce terrang deserves some constructive.

Speaker 1 (02:02:45):
Criticism, yeah and that's why this left this against the
right hander, lineup the lefty laden lineup one, three five
seven lefty. Lineup it works If terrang's swinging the bat
well he's your. Rehitter, now he, says what one hit
in the series two, maybe, YEAH i mean he did

(02:03:05):
not look good and that last at bat not at
all his his a bat in the eighth inning with
a man on, second nobody. OUT i, mean if that
that situation comes up again tomorrow and he's zero for
three heading into that at, BAT i asked him to. Bunt.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
Yeah if that.

Speaker 2 (02:03:22):
Was Pete peter the pigeon up there they had in
a bat like, THAT i would have saved that at
bat on MY dvr, forever and every Time i'd go
back and watch, IT i would just.

Speaker 1 (02:03:33):
Laugh but because it late late in the, Game ARMSTRONG
i think it Was patrick TWO o two count And
armstrong bunting ON o Two.

Speaker 6 (02:03:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
Yeah, uh, GUYS i have a Feeling counsel will go
With Ben brown, tomorrow and that worries me because he
owns The.

Speaker 3 (02:03:55):
Brewers he. Does they're hitting one.

Speaker 2 (02:03:58):
Seventy five against him with twenty strikeouts and two eighty six.

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
Slugging.

Speaker 1 (02:04:04):
Yep, no he's been good against The, brewers but he
can be a little. Wild so let's hold off. Here
maybe the moment we'll get to.

Speaker 2 (02:04:12):
Him, yeah and then last one Here Stephen portage sent
in a quote From quinn, said everyone else played really,
well with the exception of. Myself that's entirely on. Me
definitely a tough pill to swallow.

Speaker 1 (02:04:28):
Tonight, yeah it. Is and you got to turn the
page and we will do that as well as The
brewers fall in game, three four to three the, final
and tomorrow we'll go back out of game four after
the last. Pitch you make the, switch of course right
here to ninety seven to three the game and The
iHeartRadio app postgame show With Pottawatomi sportsbook bet above the,

(02:04:51):
rest and we'll find. OUT i would assume It's i'm just.
Now i'd go With, peralta BUT i Think murphy's gonna Go, Bullpen.

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
OKAY I i would go With, peralta AND i Say
murphy does as.

Speaker 1 (02:05:05):
Well, okay so we're both guessing That murph goes. Bullpen
but we both would Go.

Speaker 3 (02:05:11):
Peralta, NO i Say, MURPHY i Go, Paralta.

Speaker 1 (02:05:15):
Peralta, Okay so he is gonna Go peralta according to.

Speaker 2 (02:05:19):
You, yeah we're on opposite opposite sides of the, coin.
