Greg MatzekGUEST
Yeah, I think it's the sense of team, right? I coach my daughter's softball teams and soccer teams and things like that.
Julia FelloHOST
Behind the scenes there, what did you see on their faces and what they were saying?
Jen LadaHOST
How are you doing today? What stands out to you from this incredible postseason run?
Greg MatzekGUEST
Geez, it's hard to boil it down to just one thing, but I guess it's just the sense of belief this clubhouse had.
Greg MatzekGUEST
I asked everybody that I talked to yesterday, I said, well, where you realize, hey, we got this.
Jen LadaHOST
What have you seen from him that is like a story or something that just illustrates his importance, his significance to this squad winning the whole dang thing?
Erik BilstadHOST
Does it dawn on them? Do they realize the significance of what happened? Obviously, everyone's happy to win a World Series, but do they know what this means to the city and to the state?
Neil DoyleHOST
But throughout this postseason run or maybe even just this season for this team, is there a moment that stands out to you the most? Again, last night would be the easy pick.

Dominic CotroneoHOST
I just have no other way to describe Pat Murphy as he was born to lead men.
Greg MatzekGUEST
It's a constant reminder when we watch games like this how much it is a game of inches, right? Think about Cooper Pratt getting caught stealing.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Well, Pratt getting thrown out stealing, whether you thought he was out or not, burns Andrew Vaughn.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Well, apparently Kyle Harrison, because they're not using him in a 12-inning game or a Game 3 blowout, right? I mean, why is he on the roster, I guess, is my biggest question.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Could Chad Patrick have served a different role, maybe a better role than Kyle Harrison? Neither were terribly effective.
Greg MatzekGUEST
These were very clear, the last two on the roster here from a pitching perspective.
Greg MatzekGUEST
But I don't know the answer to that question because of how players were used last night.

Kyle WallaceHOST
How impressed were you that Robert Gasser was literally – unfazed yesterday as he mowed down, and when I say mowed down, just getting through guys yesterday, only facing a minimum against this Tampa Bay Rays team in the World Series.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Most impressive to me, Kyle, is how he locked in after getting up that leadoff single.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Getting something to cheer about, right? A leadoff single, moves into scoring position.
Kyle WallaceHOST
What is your expectation for performance coming from Dustin May? How many innings pitched, and what should you expect to see from him tonight?

Greg MatzekGUEST
Yes, number one, my estimation, and it was kind of hard to... put a number on it early because everybody had gold rally towels.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Even the Brewers fans who brought their gold rally towels, it was mixed in because the Rays had gold rally towels.
Greg MatzekGUEST
And then as the game went on, Gabe, as the Brewers built that lead, you started to see Rays fans leave the section where a lot of Brewers fans were.
Alex StroufHOST
What are some of the conversations you had in the clubhouse afterwards, and how can you explain this to me on how they just keep finding ways to do the thing?
Greg MatzekGUEST
And I mean, that was like a lightning bolt when Shohei Otani hit that home run, suffocating, right? The presence, the aura, everything, the Dodger Stadium effect.
Greg MatzekGUEST
And it didn't faze the Brewers because they consistently, Strophy, play the long game.
Greg MatzekGUEST
And what I mean by that is they recognize the runway after getting down early is quite long.
Greg MatzekGUEST
And what the Brewers did after allowing four runs in this series to the Rays is they came back with two.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Well, he started with the Mets and he was a trade deadline acquisition for the Rays.
Greg MatzekGUEST
Here's the thing about Freddy Peralta and why I think the Brewers have the advantage.
Steve ScaffidiHOST
What was on his mind after what is legendary relief appearances in the playoffs this year?
Erik BilstadHOST
So how's the team? You got some FaceTime with them yesterday? They same as always?
Greg MatzekGUEST
Up 2-0, protecting the home field, going on the road where they know the environment is going to be more challenging.

Libby CollinsHOST
I watch him, and you can just see the wheels turning in his head as he's analyzing everything as the game goes on.
Greg MatzekGUEST
It is, and I'm cautious to compare anything to the Super Bowl because I don't think in my life in radio I have covered an event larger in scale than the Super Bowl.
Greg MatzekGUEST
And this series is so different because it's a series, right? There's going to be twists and turns and ups and downs.
Erik BilstadHOST
What are you looking for? What are you kind of expecting between these two teams?

Greg MatzekGUEST
But yes, they do organize sort of the day before as the media day, right? So you'll get throngs of media.
Greg MatzekGUEST
There'll be more black coats and recorders and people you've never seen before in Milwaukee walking around the field today.
John MercureHOST

Vince VitranoHOST
What are you looking for? What are you kind of expecting between these two teams?
Greg MatzekGUEST
Yeah, and, you know, both teams have guys who sort of fill roles, can lay down a bunt, steal a base, come in to score on a, on a base hit, right? I mean, the, the Rays will do those things, as do the Brewers.
Greg MatzekGUEST
I think the Rays have a little more power, but I think the Brewers have a little bit deeper of a lineup.
Greg MatzekGUEST
So when you get to six, seven and eight, you're like, "Oh, geez, this isn't an easy out either." Um, it, it's not a massive separation, not a, not a major gulf.
Greg MatzekGUEST
I would also say if a Rays starter gets into trouble in the fourth inning, there's some question marks there-
Greg MatzekGUEST
Uh, but nevertheless, baseball steps in when you get into these stages, and they control credentialing.
