As a son of a grocer that my 51 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: dad would get up every day, go to work, sit 52 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: in the grocery store, talk to people like we're losing 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 4: that in our society and it makes me so sad 54 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 4: because you don't have those connections. One of the things 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: my dad would always do is in his office and 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: everyone come in in the morning.

And 71 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: a small business like this, obviously there's a tradition of it, 72 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 4: but it's the it's what's ingrained. It's like that, you know, Wolve, 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 4: there's what makes Milwaukee and all those little things.

It just 288 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: takes a little bit longer to get it all printed up. 289 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: But for this team, Sean, there's like six or seven 290 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: really liked, featurable players, aren't there. 291 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right about probably.

You mentioned four. I would say there's 313 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,359 Speaker 6: about ten players that I have been flying off the shelves. 314 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 4: I was just going to ask, how do you how 315 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 4: do you maneuver that? N when you look at Vaughan 316 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: and Preacher, guys that weren't initially part of this, Now 317 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 4: that all of a sudden you look at what they've done, 318 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 4: it's like, okay, we little change here. We've got to 319 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 4: keep getting more guys involved or even ice college. Right, 320 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 4: like to start the year that wasn't on the radar 321 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden there's a lot of 322 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 4: you know guys, favorite player. 323 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, this has been a few years transition. We we 324 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 6: decided that we were going to bring all of our 325 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 6: jerseys and as blanks, which allows us to save on timing, 326 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 6: which we don't have to wait for fanatics. We can 327 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 6: stay on demand and press our jerseys as they're needed. 328 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 6: But you're right, it's like it's one player after the next, 329 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 6: and my team does an excellent job of looking into that, 330 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 6: watching what the fans want and seeing the trend of 331 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 6: what they're coming in the store. And then after the 332 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 6: homestand we capitalize on it. Like Vaughn, we started off 333 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 6: with no jerseys and then we turned around and we 334 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 6: saw that people are coming in, so we started presetting 335 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 6: them and having them ready in the store for fans. 336 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 6: It's been a fantastic season so far. 337 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Nike Built for Fall collection, which 338 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: is a playoff specific line and it includes what I 339 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: call now the dugout hoodie because baseball has embraced this. 340 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, managers used to wear a full uniform in 341 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: the dugout.

They're they're technically allowed to wear 355 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 6: it once they clinched the postseason. A lot of teams 356 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 6: wait till the first the first few games of the postseason, 357 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 6: just to show some hype. You'll see the players wearing 358 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 6: that during bratting practice and in the dugout most likely, 359 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 6: if you know, while they're waiting to go in the game. 360 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: All right, So what was the Brewers slogan again? 361 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 6: Magic brew? 362 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: Well, magic magic brew and magic brew.

That's a little harder to do, 366 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 6: but we're definitely going to try to have some pieces 367 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 6: in the store as we go farther into the playoffs. 368 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 6: Right now, what we're focusing on is, yeah, that built 369 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 6: for fall.

That's going to be 372 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 6: what you see the guys wearing constantly. I think it's 373 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 6: a piece that symbolizes all teams across post seasons to 374 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 6: help gather that hype and from years past. I mean 375 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 6: I remember back in eighteen when we carried October such 376 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 6: I mean we were selling thousands and thousands and thousands 377 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 6: of them a game, so it's it's one that they're 378 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 6: focusing around, but we will definitely be looking at some 379 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 6: magic grow stuff.

It was 423 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 6: great to hear Brewers fans go, uh, you know, go 424 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 6: cheergo Brewers, and you had a pretty big following there. 425 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 6: There's a lot of people following you on that day. 426 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 4: That's just because I'm seven feet tall. They could just 427 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 4: see me. That's the reason why. 428 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: Because you're a you're a beloved member of the athletic 429 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: community here. That's why they love you. 430 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 4: I don't know about that, but it was. It was 431 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: great to be a part. And what I love about 432 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 4: this team show more than anything is I feel like 433 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 4: this team represents with Scott's and I said that on 434 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: stage Friday, but like it's a bunch of guys that 435 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: just you know, they're they're not overly paid, they're not 436 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 4: ego driven, like they just all want to play for 437 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 4: each other and they play the right way. And I 438 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 4: think obviously the success of the Brewers over the last 439 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 4: you know, a couple of years here that helps. But 440 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 4: I think people want to get behind people that they 441 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 4: you know, nowhere good people and that's what this team 442 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 4: represents to. 443 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 5: Me at least. 444 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the team is just so much fun to watch. 445 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 6: You know that our manager of Pat Murphy. He does 446 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 6: a fantastic job. But like you're right, like even this 447 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 6: weekend there was sold out games all weekend long. Like 448 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 6: it's just impressive to see how you know, this team 449 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 6: has turned around. They've embraced each other. I mean they've 450 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 6: they've battled some injuries, but at the end of the day, 451 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 6: they they find a way to get it done. They grind, 452 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 6: They're in every game, which is which is impressive. And 453 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 6: that's where I think this The state is embraces them 454 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 6: even more because they know that they can do it. 455 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 6: They feed off of that. And that's why I'm so 456 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 6: excited about this, is that this team has so much 457 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 6: depth that I'm very excited about where we're headed. 458 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: All right, Sean, always a pleasure.

Fascinated by the 480 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: whole they're pre hinting their own jerseys now because that 481 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: involves heat pressing multiple pieces, two numbers on the back, sleeve, patches, names, 482 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: name plates, you know, it up just right. 483 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it kind of makes a lot of sense, 484 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 4: by the way, like based on the way the roster 485 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 4: has been the last couple of years, there hasn't been superstars, 486 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 4: so we don't have a superstar like there are don't 487 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: when you have a pluthoro look players that are fans favorites, 488 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 4: like it opens it up and you don't want to 489 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 4: have all the inventories. 490 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 5: So then you bring the house and like it's. 491 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: G I mean, he's still sitting on crates of Jesse 492 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: Winker jerseys and he'll never get out from underneath. 493 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 4: Never. 494 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I mean he went he went hogwild on the Eel 495 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: Piomps jerseys. Correct, those things are completely gone to zero. 496 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 5: Everybody wanted a. 497 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: Pieomps Joel Pimps missed that guy. Well, anyway, we're looking 498 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: forward to the start of the playoffs as gut wrenching 499 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: and as potentially heartbreaking, potentially heartbreaking as it may be, 500 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: we are here for it.

Ah, why are you playing this? Never play this? 526 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: We hate the Bears? Listen. Will beating the Bears be 527 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: as satisfying butchy in their new stadium someday as it 528 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: is at Old Soldiers Field? As some people call it erroneously? 529 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: Will it or will it lose a little bit of luster. 530 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: Yeah it does. Okay, I don't know, man, I think 531 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, Comical Bear is in aptitude and beating the 532 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: brakes off of them. It'll travel. They just released their 533 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: renderings for their suburban stadium project in Arlington Heights and 534 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: it's going to cost five bubba b b b billion 535 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: dollars Z. The team says they'll pay for the entire 536 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,719 Speaker 1: two billion dollars stadium. The whole project is five billion. 537 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: That's five thousand million, and the team is going to 538 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: pay for the entire two thousand million dollar cost of 539 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: the stadium. By they're asking for eight or and fifty 540 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: five million of public money toward infrastructure. Though, whoa, I 541 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: thought you said you were paying for the whole thing. Well, 542 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: we are. We just need eight hundred and fifty five 543 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: million for infrastructure. 544 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 4: So then where's that three million coming from? 545 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: A three billion billion? It's apparently big you know, real estate, restaurants, hotels, whatever. 546 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, so they the stadium. The stadium 547 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: rendering looks like it's a direct ripoff of Allegiance or 548 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: of the one in Indie or the one like because 549 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: we used to have yeh where it's got the end 550 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: zone window and the translucent roof. I'm not against optimal design, 551 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of these stadiums have figured 552 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: that out. But don't we want stadiums to be unique 553 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: and different? Yes, okay, yes. 554 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 4: You want it to be different. Don't you want to 555 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 4: stand out? Like this is your chance? How many times 556 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 4: you get a chance to spend five. 557 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: And you're just gonna say, uh, we'll have what We'll 558 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: have what the Raiders are. 559 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 5: Having for five billion? 560 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: You want? Correct? Yes, as much as we hate the Vikings, 561 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: their stadium as cool as I gotta get there. It's 562 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: like it's shaped like a giant sort of Viking ship 563 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: with the slanted roof that's translucent. It's got the windows 564 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: that can open on the end zone on a nice 565 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: fall day up there. But yeah, it killed a lot 566 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: of birds though apparently with the glass. 567 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've heard about that. 568 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, just don't fly there. 569 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some baseball.

Good morning, sir. 582 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: How are you you're getting that postseason tension already? 583 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 4: Yeah? 584 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 7: You can, Yeah, you can feel it. We're just over 585 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,239 Speaker 7: forty eight hours away. And yeah, I think fans are 586 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 7: starting to starting to feel that now that well, we 587 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 7: still don't know who the Brewers are going to play. 588 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 7: We'll find that out later today. I think that'll That's 589 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 7: what I feel it, right like that, Yeah, officially kicks in. 590 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 5: It's like, okay, let's go. 591 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have an official Do you have an 592 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: official preference yourself? 593 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 7: I want the Cubs and I know I'm in the 594 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 7: minority on this. I do, and I know I'm in the. 595 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 1: Minority on this. 596 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 7: Well, when I know I don't, I think both of 597 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 7: them are both of them are tough matchups. I think 598 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 7: at number one, these are two really good baseball teams. 599 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 7: So are the Dodgers the Reds. Obviously, you know they 600 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 7: made the playoffs, but they had eighty three wins for 601 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 7: a reason. So now you sit in a place where 602 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 7: whoever you play the rest of the way is going 603 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 7: to be really good, and. 604 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: So are you. 605 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 7: So are the Milwaukee Brewers. There's a reason they got 606 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 7: the best record in baseball. So I don't know if 607 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 7: it's matchup wise. I think, you know, the Padres and 608 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 7: Cubs are the only two teams in the NL field 609 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 7: where you lost your season series. I mean, you were 610 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 7: ten and two against the Phillies and Dodgers, and you 611 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 7: were under five hundred two and four against the Padres, 612 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 7: six and seven against the Cubs. So I don't know 613 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 7: if it's a matchup I think more so. I mean 614 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 7: when I talk to people and I'm like, you know, 615 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, I want the Cubs, They're like, but yeah, 616 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 7: but what if we lose to the Cubs. I'm like, 617 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 7: but yeah, but what if the Brewers beat the Cubs. 618 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 7: Can you imagine that it's not only getting to the NLCS, 619 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 7: but beating the Cubs on your way to get there, 620 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 7: the storylines just through the roof, and you don't have 621 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 7: to go to the West Coast either, which is not easy. 622 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 7: So I yes, I think, I'm I I think I 623 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 7: want the Cubs to win today. 624 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: All right? Can you give us a Woody update? 625 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 7: Yeah? No update there, there's just nothing right now. And 626 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 7: you know, Pat Murphy told us on Tuesday that there 627 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 7: was going to be an update later that day. We 628 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 7: didn't hear anything. Yeah, I mean, look, it's not in there. 629 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,959 Speaker 1: He's out. He's out for this series. I'm just assuming 630 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: there's no update by now. Not in the first round, right. 631 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 7: I would think, I mean my hunch is that he's 632 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 7: done for the season, but I I don't know. I 633 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 7: think it's obviously it makes sense for them to kind 634 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 7: of not announce anything because maybe, you know, then the 635 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 7: other teams have to prepare for him. 636 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, winger Woody. 637 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 7: Well right, that's what I'm you know, can you imagine 638 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 7: Game one or two and then he comes out and 639 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 7: you know, I just I don't. 640 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 5: See what happen. 641 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to stop that because people actually listen to 642 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 4: this chill for some knowledge. I'm not putting that like 643 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 4: that time, I lean towards on her. I think he's 644 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 4: done for a year, so I don't. 645 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 5: I don't want someone to quick turn on the radio 646 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 5: and say, oh, what he gave you? No, I think 647 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 5: you're right on it. 648 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: I would think so. 649 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 4: When you look at this group, obviously this awkward week 650 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 4: you were at the practice, but how do you, like, 651 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 4: what are they doing differently to try to stay sharp 652 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 4: because in baseball you don't have a week off. 653 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 5: That kind of concerns me a little bit. 654 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 655 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 7: I mean I think, you know, if they were red 656 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 7: hot coming into this, if they had just you know, 657 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 7: just went on a crazy September and they got into 658 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 7: the playoffs by you know, the skin of their teeth, 659 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 7: but then they were rolling and then all of a 660 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 7: sudden had to halt for five days, I think I'd 661 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,479 Speaker 7: be more concerned. This team needed this buy, They needed 662 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 7: to get healthy. They had a lot of beat up players, 663 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 7: even though and Pat Murphy said it on Tuesday, like, 664 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 7: I'm not you know, it's not like we come out 665 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 7: and tell you guys every single injury these guys are battling. 666 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 7: I mean it's clear, you know, Freelick hasn't been the 667 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 7: same since his hamstring injury. Cheerio hasn't been the same 668 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 7: since his hamstring injury. There's guys that are nursing. Obviously, 669 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 7: Contrera's got hit with the check swing a couple of 670 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 7: weeks ago. He's still nursing. That missed the li couple 671 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 7: of games of the season. All these guys are going 672 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 7: to benefit from this week. And I think this and 673 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 7: you know, and Pat Murphy said like this buy comes 674 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 7: at a good time for us. 675 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: I think it does. 676 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 7: So what they're doing is, as Pat Murphy put it, 677 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 7: uncomfortable and intense practices. And that's what Tuesday was. I mean, 678 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 7: it was you know, as far as you know, Quinn 679 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 7: Priester said yesterday that, yeah, it is putting us in 680 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 7: some uncomfortable positions as far as what they're doing at 681 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 7: practice and kind of maybe situations they wouldn't have thought of, 682 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 7: or different situations that might come up in the playoffs. 683 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 7: So it gives you a week to really focus in 684 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 7: on maybe what you didn't do well over the regular season, 685 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 7: or maybe things that Pat Murphy thinks this team needs 686 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 7: to work on a little bit. It's time to you know, 687 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 7: kind of see guys pitching right, they're doing a lot 688 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 7: of live They did some on Tuesday, they did some more. 689 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 7: It looks like on yesterday where they do this simulated 690 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 7: game right where you got pitchers on the mound and 691 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 7: you got a guy at every position, and then the 692 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 7: guy hits and if he even if he makes out, 693 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 7: then he goes to third and then he's working on 694 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 7: his third base situational hit, you know, running and everything 695 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 7: like that. So they've got all these situations they're working 696 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 7: on while also getting their pitchers continuing to stay loose. 697 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 7: It's not like, you know, Abner, your Reba doesn't pitch 698 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 7: for five days, right, They're they're making sure they stay 699 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 7: in their routine. Same with the starters. Uh So, I 700 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 7: think it's good. I think it's actually I think this 701 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 7: this buy is good. And I think they're you know, 702 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 7: they even had a little bit of the organ music 703 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 7: going on in the practice on Tuesday as well to 704 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 7: make it feel a little more like a game. 705 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 4: So atmosphere, we've talked a little bit about you know, 706 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 4: Padre's cubs who you want, but afternoon game versus night game. 707 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 4: Za Basmit's that's sex. It said, give me the night game. 708 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 4: I think the atmosphere there. People want this because it's 709 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 4: a longer series. It's like we've lived in that wild 710 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 4: Card for so long that finally you're out of it. 711 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 4: Like to me, I just feel like there's another sense 712 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 4: of excitement if there can be for postseason baseball, because 713 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like it can be so short, like right, Like, 714 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 4: it just feels like this is different because of the 715 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 4: longevity of the series versus what we've seen over last 716 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 4: I mean, today you have three games going Game seven, 717 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 4: I mean game three, but like this is only the 718 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 4: same time in baseball that has all fallen on one 719 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 4: day like this, Like it's pretty crazy to think about 720 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 4: what today is, but it's also really nice to avoid. 721 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: That for sure. 722 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 7: Brewers, we're the only one last year, so you know, 723 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 7: it's I think when you look at who you want 724 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 7: in this Padres Cup series, you can want whoever you want. 725 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 7: But either way, I think everybody's in agreement. They wanted 726 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 7: this thing to go three games, so they use as 727 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 7: much pitching as possible and everything that. Yeah, exactly, and 728 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 7: hopefully today's go you know, fifteen innings maybe today, but yeah, 729 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 7: I think night game. I did a poll yesterday on 730 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 7: Twitter and people sixty five percent said night game. That's 731 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 7: what I assumed. It'll be eight oh eight, So it'll 732 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 7: be a late night game. It'll be eight to eight 733 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 7: if if the Red Sox win, It'll be one oweight 734 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 7: if the Yankees win. And that's just due to TV 735 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 7: scheduling and whatnot. And so yeah, so I think I 736 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 7: think the night game. You know, you talk about Brewers 737 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 7: Cubs at eight oh eight on a Saturday night in 738 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 7: game one of the NLDS. 739 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh that is that's crazy, real quick. 740 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 4: Miguel looking good though, right, I mean, that's fully it 741 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 4: has been him to be the closer role situation. 742 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 7: Ah, I don't know if he's going to be the closer. 743 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 7: I think I think he'll be pitching, but I don't 744 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 7: he Only the thing is he came in obviously in 745 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 7: the middle of the game on Sunday. I'm interested to 746 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 7: see if they use him in the closer role. Abner's 747 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 7: done a pretty good job. He has the moxy of 748 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 7: a closer. I kind of have a feeling if I 749 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 7: were to put a guy in who's going to be 750 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 7: the closer right now, it's going to be Abner. But 751 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 7: you still that's great because you you getting McGill back 752 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 7: gives you that one more you know, ga, one more 753 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 7: option out of the bullpen, right that six, seventh, eighth, 754 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 7: wherever you want to use him. Ninth inning is a 755 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 7: little different. I maybe think maybe, you know, should they advance. 756 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 7: When they advance, then maybe he is down the road 757 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 7: in that closer role, because right now, I just don't 758 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 7: know if they've seen enough to put him back in 759 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 7: that such high leverage in the postseason. 760 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, what keeps you awake at night? What 761 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: fills your body with calm and peace about this team? 762 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,919 Speaker 1: One thing that keeps you awake, one thing that makes 763 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: you go, oh, say it's gonna be all right. 764 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 7: The one thing that keeps me awake is is and 765 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 7: I think this is the same for probably a lot 766 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 7: of Burrs fans. It's the past. The past creeps up 767 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 7: in your mind and it's like, yes, that's exactly it, 768 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 7: because you just what do you when you look at Okay, 769 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 7: how is this series going to go? You always base 770 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 7: everything off the past, right, and your past experience. Lately, 771 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 7: the past experience in the postseason since twenty eighteen has 772 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 7: not been great. 773 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 5: I mean, like when the past is that crazy ex girlfriend. 774 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 5: You needed to get rid of her. 775 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 4: You needed to go through that to realize that you 776 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 4: don't want that crazy woman in your life all right now. 777 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 7: Last year now right there, last year had nothing to 778 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 7: do with him. So I I you know, so there's 779 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 7: so I think that's a top to bottom. I think 780 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 7: this is a really solid team. I also think if 781 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 7: we're looking on the field, I think it's offense. I 782 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 7: think because of the way they performed a little so 783 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 7: so on the offensive side in September right here, maybe 784 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 7: a little worried about that. But again, as Pat Murphy said, 785 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 7: it's hard to get up for games that don't necessarily 786 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 7: have as many implications as they did before. But this 787 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 7: is a new season. This is a team that has 788 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 7: a lot of underdogs on this team. They're made up 789 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 7: of underdogs, and as a team, they're an underdog. And 790 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 7: so I think that Hunger is gonna come right back. 791 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 7: And I'm fascinated to see this version of the Brewers 792 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 7: and the playoffs, because I think you're gonna see that 793 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 7: team that you saw June and July, that's hungry, winning 794 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 7: tonight every single night. 795 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 2: Come out and play all. 796 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: Right, Hunter, you're the man, buddy, always fun chopping up 797 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: with you.
