1:06Hello and welcome to Brewer Teritor, I'm your host, Kurt Hogue here with my guy, Corey Knabel, your JP Fire Eyes and the Brewer's fellas. They swept the Chicago Cubs. A couple of, I guess, three games in the end were pretty close. A couple of exciting games, one that was exciting for all the wrong reasons, laid for the brewers. But either way, it's a sweep. It is a 10-game lead in the division. I think we went into these last couple of series, these six games against the Cubs saying, are they really that big? You're up eight. If you win, like, you're fine. How about all of them? This thing's over, right? Are we calling it a raps in the division? I mean, it ain't over till it's over, but this is pretty set in stone. I think the brewers are looking pretty good going into what halfway through September right now, what, two weeks, two and a half weeks left the baseball. So I'm feeling pretty confident.

2:12We got it, right? Yeah, no, I think this is a almost down here under lock and key. It would be like the most epic collapse and this team doesn't have that in them there. They've been winning the most in baseball for a reason and they're going to keep doing it. Yeah, like, I mean, that guy in gold right there is a golden circle in gold because he's been absolutely gold. I mean, just on fire, I mean, yeah, this team looks like they're getting ready for October and it's now that this is, they got it. It's over. They're not yelling three two with two outs. Just keeping the game going too. That was the central goes through Milwaukee over and over and over again. Yeah, that's true. I mean, it's true. It's true. It is. We do the same. We do the same dance every year. I was actually talking

3:12to a player about this on Wednesday or Thursday because he was, he was, he was questioned like, you didn't pick us. I was like, I did. I did. I did. Now, now that I have the number of wins, correct? No. No. No, you guys are already, you've already gotten to that number. However, well, like I picked you. It was the easiest Vegas bet to take this year. What was it? 83 and a half. No, I thought it was 80. I thought it was 87. I don't think that's it. Oh, no, it wasn't that high. I mean, maybe maybe you juiced it. If you juiced it, then you got even better odds. Yeah. Good odds. I mean, higher payout. But like this happens every, this happens every year, guys. If I saw 87 and a half, I'd be like, oh, that's they're getting that. Take that. Yeah. They're not going to stop. They're not going to stop overlooking the burrs. They're always going to be the end of the talk. Merf said it, man. I go through every offseason thinking, this is like

4:15three straight offseason. They're like, well, surely this is not the offseason where they underestimate the brewers. And then sure enough, the projection systems don't break. If they underestimate the brewers this next year, it's going to be a little, they're going to go. They will. There's no way. There's no way for they're going to tell me right now that every single team in this entire league would say, if you're, this is our starting staff going this year, we have a great chance to win a lot of baseball games already. Like there's just in there already, we know they're going to be there next year. These guys are going to be on this team for at least the next three years, right? The next three years. Yeah. I'm going to tell you right now, though. They are absolutely going to okay, they underestimate it because they put the cubs at like 102 wins and they put the burrs at like 98. All right. Like that's the, that's the underestimation. This is, this is how it happened. Broders don't do anything in the offseason relatively. And the other teams like, so

5:20should I go to my soapbox right now? Maybe I'll get on the mini soapbox. So much of baseball analysis and this climate is like, did you do something? If, if you check yes on the box, then like rounds, route, loud applause and suddenly that mean that like that's conflated with doing something good. You know, like the cubs, the cubs getting Edwin Cabrera, our Edward Cabrera, that was supposed to be a division changing move. That's not how this game works. You know, he's always workout like that. Like doing stuff to do stuff is not necessarily good. And the brews usually don't do stuff to do stuff. Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. Here's who's hot and who's not? Yeah, I'm not. I'm just for you. Well, in contrast, even though the numbers don't show it, man, I think Mitchell and Yehli are, they're clutch, dude. They've got the clutch factor. I mean, Mitchell's throw the other night was, I mean, game saving, dude, right? I mean, this was, if he doesn't make that throw, I mean, they score there. Obviously, we had bases loaded with with Laura, but I mean, that right there,

6:26that changed the momentum. I love the man and Yehli coming up, dude, three, two, two, outs, keeping the game going. This is, the boys are feeling it, man. Yeah, I think that like even like the who's hot, who's not like, do you look at those names, who's not like it? This team doesn't feel like they're, they're ever cold, like, right? Like these guys that maybe aren't like hitting the best, they're doing something else that's going to help the team out and help them win. So, I mean, that's the thing about this whole entire team is like, even if they're not doing their best at something, they're contributing at some aspect of the game. So, yeah, I like it. No, I mean, it's never good to be on the who's not, but if you're still contributing and it just feels like you're not, I mean, at least you have something and you're helping the team win somehow. And one of the who's not hot guys, as I was on the graphic was Christian yellow. It's like, of course, I'd get a 712 OPS. Yes, still 712 OPS. That's like League average. He hit a three on tank against Kevin

7:29Gossman in the win on Wednesday. So, I mean, all things considered this was the worst about a lot of impressive series. I don't know if this, like this probably not their most impressive. They've, they've won a lot of games this year. But this has to be up there. Like this has to be some of the best baseball collectively that they've played all season when you factor in the Cubs and the environments and and also like not having a ton to play for in September and coming back on the first two nights and then taking it to the Cubs before, you know, things got dicey in the ninth inning there. Pretty impressive. I've seen the boys play in this good like in in Reese, like September feels like they've been they have kind of hosted. Really? Yeah. It doesn't feel like goes. Yeah. Yeah. It definitely doesn't. No, I mean, yeah, and even September is pretty, pretty spot on, right? For, I mean, the brewers as of recent, dude, but this is this is good. I mean, this is this is a good, good

8:31feeling for the boys. I mean, obviously, everyone's vibing right now and things are going their way. But look, it's it's also, you know, I don't think they're going to let off the brakes. Right? me and JP talks about the other night that obviously Murph is still going to try and do what he can to get some other guys some some time in there to give some some days off to, you know, McGill, your rebate, but at the same time, I mean, you still got to come out there before him. We're not going to just be giving these games away. That's true. That's true. Let's let's talk about let's talk about Jackson, Jerry. Oh, the kid. Yeah, we won't call him the man, but he ain't the man. He's 22. Well, let me tell you, I wish I was a man. Boys, I wish I was 22 right now. He's feeling 22. To tore it. Not a tour. If you strain a hammy, is it a tear? I think it's like a mouser. There's a tear there. Yeah, I tore my hamstring tonight. Not fun. No, first that bad of the media

9:33softball game. Definitely not any warmups. Was there any warmups involved? I stretched for like three to four minutes. Yeah, there it is. I did A skits. I did some B skips. I'd stretched my hammies. I think the issue was, well, no, that's not the issue. The issue is that I'm 31 and I don't have it anymore. Yeah, it's brutal. Anyway, the 22 year old, the 22 year old, not about me. He does have it. When he came to play, came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth on Tuesday, you guys had just finished recording, right? Like you guys recorded that show, but it was a little earlier. Yeah, it weird a little bit before that. Yeah. What were you? What did you, what did you think was going to happen there? Like, did you guys have an idea? Dude, I mean, I'll say it that first pitch, right? The first pitch was a change up and he he took a daddy hack on how to like, man, he's trying to tie this game up. But there's no way he's going to throw a change up again. And boy,

10:38did he and man, he was all over that, dude. That I mean, it was sick. It was hammered, man. It was that was tight. Like that, that, that, like brings you back to like the world baseball classic feeling home run right there, right? Like that's like the moment, like that's the, like the electricity that that brought to the stadium at that time, right? Everyone just went bananas. Just, I mean, yeah, I'm still playing it, man. Two outs, right? Two outs. Two outs. It reminded me of Ryan Braun. That was about a brawny moment. Oh, man. Yeah. Where he walks, he's playing, you could, you could see him. He's bobbing his head a little bit like he looked just so cool and confident. Die. I mean, that's what he brings to this team, right? Just like, absolute, just full confidence, going to get his hacks off a matter of what? Yeah. You see those numbers there on the screen, fellas. 290 average in this climate. Incredible. 837 OPS. 129 WR2 plus a lot of red on the baseball

11:44savant, a lot of sentimental bars. But I feel like when choreo, I mean, of course, when every player is at their best, they're better than their season average grave analysis curve, but, but choreo at his best, right? That's like another level. Like there's another level to this guy that when he's there that just changes ships this whole lineup dynamic. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, I mean, yelling, yelling, man, when we signed yelling to that big contract, like that's the, that was the guy that choreo is now, right? And we still got yelling on the team. That's the best thing about it. Like we got to basically see yelling when he was not this young, but in that time where he has that ability to change the level of the game, change the whole game with, you know, a backside homer or, or, you know, bottom of the ninth, two out homer. Like that's, that's, we got one of those guys in in choreo's, choreo wants to be him, I think, just the way that

12:46that A B felt to me. Like he just feels like that this, those are his moments that he wants to be at the dish. Oh, yeah. You guys, you got to have that guy that's got the it factor, right? Yeah, especially going into those late innings, man, we're you're able to, I mean, he just sees the ball differently. Like you said, JP, just like yelling did, man, this is, you got to have a guy like that, especially in the postseason, because there's going to be games where it's one to zero, two to zero, and this is your only chance or your last chance, right? To score run. So if you have those moments, if you're in the pitcher's spot, put yourselves on the mound, was there ever a time where I know like, as get you picture, you pitch around some guys sometimes, but we're like, you see sort of the demeanor of a player and the confidence. And like in that moment, just say, maybe this isn't the guy I want to challenge right now, just because it's like the vibe that he's giving.

13:52Yeah. Yeah, I mean, those guys, it's either they get themselves out or you just, you know, move on and put them on base type of that's the A B. And most of the time, like, they're swinging because they're hot and they feel hot. So you need to try and throw pitches out of the zone and and get them to kind of chase and and go, I mean, make them make them beat themselves. So yeah, that's you're just out of the zone, out of the middle. Yeah, he's not, but that change up, gobble up on a change up like they did. Can I bear? Yeah. That's what's that that's what's the old rule, like in the big leagues, if you throw the same pitch, don't the second one better better than the first better, be better than the first. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I learned that the hard way, didn't have to the bigs, but yeah, I mean, yeah, dude, as a pitcher there, I mean, we've all been in that situation, right? But I mean, okay, well, yeah, it's too shame. But I tore my hamstring playing media snog ball tonight.

14:52Okay. But you've seen guys in that situation before. Okay. So that mean that, that's not ideal, right? I mean, when you're facing a guy that's that hot, but you still got what terrain was on deck there. And then yeah, you don't want to, you don't want to walk the go at the time run on, but sometimes when like Jackson, sure, you just has something that no one else on this, on this team or offense has. Yeah. Like that switch. Yep. And when that switch is on, buddy, watch out, the brewers better hope that that switch is on in the season, because if it is, like that's, that's your ceiling razor right there. Okay.

All right, boys, let's talk about the playoff rotation. Let's look ahead a little bit for Azure 10 games up. Give me your order for, I guess, four, or it doesn't have to be four. It doesn't have to be four. If you think it's three and, you know, wild card or if it's two in openers, whatever, just give me what you think your playoff rotation is starting with, obviously, Jacob Mizorowski. Corey, you're on the clock first. What's you got, buddy? All right. I mean, I was thinking right here, Miz, Henderson, and then Harrison, but dude, you threw out a great option too. I mean, obviously, we've got so many starters, right? If we just get some openers, but, man, I think that, I think obviously we're going to look at Drowhan being in the pen. That's just how it's going to be, man, he's shown some great stuff. And, I mean,

19:00as much as I want to see him in the rotation, man, I think that, yeah, Gasser's going to be the guy that is going to be our third man in the rotation we got. We're going to have D-May Drowhan and then probably Harrison coming out of the pen. You know, that's my thoughts. I think that obviously you can have Harrison as your fourth guy if you need him on a seven game series, but realistic, the man, yeah, I think that that's what it's going to be. It's going to be a three-man rotation. Interesting. Okay. JP, sorry. Oh, man. That third man is obviously the tough one, right? I don't know if it's going to be Gasser or Harrison. I mean, D-May depending on, I feel like it's going to be kind of these like next couple starts. I'll kind of feel like who's going to be the hot going into it. I think more than anything. I mean, I don't know who has the inside route to be in that third guy, but I also think that with playoffs, I think that third guy is going to be a short,

20:06there's going to be some short stints for some guys to start, but I mean, yeah, he's solidified as our number two for sure with me as a starting game one. So our one two is a no brainer. It's the third man is tough. I mean, I'm not 100% sure who we're going to go with it. Well, I mean, who do you think, Kurt? What do you got for a third guy? I think it's Dustin May, honestly. I mean, I would say that's the only reason I would say, but he's going to have a short leash, right? And right, you know of all people too, right? I mean, Harrison, we're looking at what, just two weeks ago, Harrison was our guaranteed number two guy in the playoffs, you know, and this, it's what it's what it's what have you done for me lately? That's what it's going to come down to. A week before playoffs start, it's we're going to solidify this rotation by what have you done for me lately? It's not about what you did for me all year, right? So I mean, yeah, I think D. May,

21:06Gasser and Harrison are all up up in the mix right now, drawn to, I mean, they're these next two weeks are huge for them. I just think it works well too. D. May starting as a righty, and then we have basically all lefties coming out of the bullpen, just completely switched things around. And yeah, no, I think, yeah, D, I mean, D. May is the guy we want, right? We want him to, we want to see that that hate innings of of two hit ball when he gets four ground ball double plays type of stuff. That's the D. May we're hoping for. So I mean, in that aspect, that's what we want. I got some more thoughts on that specifically, but let's take a break and then we'll get back to it. Crats football season is back and Fab Lettics knows all about it. They just paired with the number one wide receiver in the NFL, Jamar Chase on a new collection.

24:27CarMax at home pick up not available in all locations, distance restrictions, and a fee may apply. Guys, I think Dustin May is the three. I think he's the guy the brewers want in that spot. No, there's still time left in the season. We'll see where the stuff is at. How the results are. This guy hasn't pitched. I think about his most recent, like one of the last time we went five innings. It was probably in San Diego, right? When we went eight. A long time ago. And some of that's out of his control, like the rain in Cincinnati. But I think that right before that rain came in Cincinnati, that was as good as he's looked as well as he's executed his stuff. So with the way Kyle Harrison's pitching and they're you know, going to shorten his outings, maybe pitch him out of the bullpen. I think he's nowadays. You guys know this. They they they have their own numbers that aren't based on the results.

25:28Like they they take a look at how your stuff is. They go with their good. They're feeling right. And Kyle Harrison by those metrics is not like that. It's not going to look good. Dustin May's stuff has been the same. The execution you can you can criticize all you want. But I said that flashes and the stuff's good. Go JP. There are no. I mean, D. Mase had some outings and like I've also seen some pitches where he's been above the zone out of the out of like the entire zone area and guys have had a homeroom. So like I mean, his I don't think his execution's been that bad. So it's I mean, I just let's hopefully get let's let's get him back. Let's get him feel in the right way and just dominating and getting ground balls. That's that's what we need we need to see. But yeah, I mean, I just think we have so many options. Don't we? That's that's a crazy thing. And Corey said, Corey said gas or I think I mean, he's in numbers up there. That's certainly

26:31a possibility at this point. And he's throwing the ball well. Yeah. He's been on the ball really well. I'd love to see a lefty coming out of the rotation, right? I mean, in the rotation and the playoffs, it's that there's not many of them, right? So I think if you can have someone like that, obviously that plays to your advantage right there. But I mean, yeah, also to your point, man, I mean, D. May, he's got he's got so many pitches. He's got pitches that move in all different directions. So that's also beneficial in the playoffs too, you know, especially when you're facing, you know, usually the best of the best here, right? That's when you're getting into crunch time. And so when you when you got a pitcher that's throwing, you know, you got one direction, rather than three or four different directions, it yeah, that can also be a huge part. If you're only going four or five innings, man, that's all you need in the playoffs, dude. For sure. You like the lefty. I mean, no matter what happens, like I can see there being these

27:32games where like if you're facing the fillies, you're facing the cubs, lefties, PCAs, PCAs getting lefties all all game. Shorba's getting lefties all game. That's a Robert Gasser. Kind of fits in and we'll we'll see how they end up mixing and matching that because it feels yet feels like to me at least you got your two full on starters, Dustin may quick hook, but could could be five, six innings like that. That's good. I could pitch three times through if he's rolling. And then game four, because you don't have the benefit of the off day between one and two, you'd probably not bring a miss back on three days. I don't see them doing that. No, being for it. You got to draw on and you get your own. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. Deal. Hall. Deal. Hall. Deal. Hall. What did he just did? I could see that can't opening a playoff game. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. That guys, dude, we've got some stuff. I mean, we could see Chad opening a playoff game too and then coming in with a lefty behind him. I mean, there's there's so I know we've used Chad late, but I could still see if we're feeling

28:37fresh and we've got everybody. The only thing that would stop them from doing that is Chad Patrick, like Chad Patrick himself. They they clearly like to just put this guy in the bullpen and then call him when it's his time to pitch. You know, maybe the four hours of buildup. Yeah. I mean, playoff baseball brings some of the wildest pitching like matchups, right? Like also in like, inning three and and someone's getting pulled and there it's like, all right, now we're going lefty righty until liberal events and somehow every team still has bullpen arms available. Yep. But I mean, yeah, also to the curts point too. I mean, if you're facing the Phillies and Cubs, right? Yeah, you're top three guys are stacked with lefties there. You got PCA Harper, Sorberer. So yeah, you're going to start lefty. You got you got gas or you got DL hall. Like you said, DL hall might be opening a game. I'm doing this. This is why they need Kyle Harrison. Oh, yeah. John, Joe, yeah, as many lefties as you can fit back there until you always. So you pitch

29:41air and ash begins the lefties and like this and those are some stud lefties. All four of those stud lefties, man, out of the pin. Drow on two five. Come on. Come on. He's loving it. He's loving it. Erie loving it. Brewers are 10 games up. They can clinch a playoffs spot with a win on Friday. Hell yeah. That's exciting. Maybe a champagne toast. We'll be looking to see some party and early. Yeah. I don't think they're going to be partying. I mean, oh, they'll be a little just a little. Yeah. Why not? Why not? It's a video nice toast. Yeah, toast. Yeah, it's a plenty more to go type of thing. Yep. Yep. And from Corey's toast to us. Thanks for listening and watching this episode of Brewer Territory, as we always do, we'll catch you on the other side. A toast from JP. I got nothing besides it. Horned hamstring. So cheers to that. Cheers to that. That's a pickle juice. It's a pickle juice. Yeah. It's your ice pack. Yeah. Rest ice elevation. That's me. Thanks for tuning it.
