The Brewers sure look like a team on a mission.

Uh, they do, and they were the b- they were the best team in the regular season.

They were much better than the Dodgers all season.

You just didn't know if their lack of experience or their youth, uh, you know, how that was gonna match up with the Dodgers.

Actually matched up perfectly because Ohtani wasn't himself, but he did hit a three-run homer off a pitcher.

I never understand why anybody throws a good left-handed power hitter.

Why would you throw a breaking pitch down and into a good left-handed power hitter? It's their power zone.

Yep.

It makes the...

You know, it's just, it's a terrible, terrible pitch.

Other than that, the Brewers played very intelligent, fundamentally sound baseball.

They have a deep lineup.

Uh, they play, you know, they, they play for each other.

I think Pat Murphy might be the best manager in baseball and the most likable manager in baseball.

Uh, and you know, it's not just, like, good karma stuff, it's talent too.

I think, uh, Verducci or somebody on the broadcast last night said the average fastball thrown by a Brewers pitcher this year is 97 miles an hour.

Oh my goodness.

Now, part of that is Mizaroski throwing 101 to 103.

Sure.

But still, Ashby comes in and blows people away.

And the Dodgers, when Ohtani isn't the star, uh, when Betts isn't producing, and he didn't produce at all this postseason, he's not the offensive player he once was, they're just not great.

Um, and I thought probably the key...

You know, there are a lot of key moments when you sweep the Dodgers, and obviously Bowers and Mitchell were a big part of things with the big hits and great at-bats.

But I thought when they beat Yamamoto in game two, I thought that was the series.

Yeah.
