00:00The Brewers, a very blue-collar team, Sky, worked very hard this year, ran away with

00:08the NL Central.

00:09Pat Murphy does not expect his team to stop doing that once we get into the postseason.

00:14They created this, and they did it in a way they know how they did it, and it wasn't by

00:20worried about who's got a bigger budget, or who's got more experience, or who was on the

00:26All-Star team.

00:27They did it by pulling together and playing a certain way, and they know that's the secret.

00:35I don't think they wiped the slate clean in that this is how I play.

00:40The numbers are out the windows now, it doesn't matter.

00:44Now it's about win tonight, and they've kind of been doing that all year.

00:49I feel very fortunate to have a group of people that are that competitive and look at the

00:54game that way.

00:56I'll tell you one thing, Mike, they seem to have the Mets number.

01:01They seem to have the Mets number.

01:02They've played very well against the Mets the last couple of seasons, including last

01:06weekend when they took two out of three from them in Milwaukee.

01:10Tonight, it will be Freddy Peralta getting the ball in game number one for the Brewers.

01:15Luis Severino, who of course, they did the dopey celebration in the locker room, Scotty,

01:21which both teams did after that game yesterday, which makes even more W-no sense to me, considering

01:28they both had to go somewhere to play a game today.

01:31But they went and did all the dopey, and Luis Severino had the water in his hand, basically

01:35to say, I'm not drinking, I know I have to pitch tomorrow.

01:39They are plus 125, Severino and the Mets, minus 150 for Peralta and the Brew Crew.

01:45This is a seven and a half total here in game number one.

01:48As Luke knows, I would have a drink at the celebration, and then I would have another

01:55one before the game today, so that you could limber up for today's game, hair and a dog.

02:05Look, I don't know if any of that matters.

02:08What I do know is that, like I said, the Brewers seem to own them, but I think Severino's better

02:15than people give him credit for.

02:17I think the guy can pitch.

02:19He didn't win all those games this year because he sucks, and I think the Mets lineup is sick.

02:24I really do.

02:25Like, have fun pitching to them.

02:28Every guy on that team can hit.

02:31Every single guy can hit.

02:33I mean, it doesn't matter, Alvarez, Vientos, Alonzo, it goes on and on, Lindor, Nimmo.

02:41You have to admit, Mike, that they are a brutal lineup to get through.

02:45I like their chances against Milwaukee, even though the Brewers own them, allegedly, that

02:54they're so much better than the Mets.

02:56I don't believe in any of that nonsense starting today.

02:59This is the postseason.

03:00This is a playoff game.

03:02This is a whole fresh new kid in caboodle.

03:06I don't believe that teams that just play each other six times a year that you can own

03:13a team.

03:14Teams you play in your own division, and you play them 11, 12, 13 times a year, you see

03:19them all the time, that you can own somebody.

03:22You see these teams so infrequently now with the way baseball schedule's done, Scotty,

03:28I don't think that the owning anybody stuff matters.

03:30I actually think the Mets are going to win this series.

03:32I think it's going to go three games, and I think the Mets are going to move on.

03:36You talked about how the Yankees and the Orioles, kind of little collision course, seems like

03:40it's meant to be for those two teams to play each other.

03:45Mets and Phillies would be a lot of fun in the division series if we could ever get there

03:50this weekend too.

03:51Brewers have had trouble in this round the last few years.

03:56Diamondbacks beat them last year in Milwaukee, so they've had some issues getting out of

04:01this spot before.

04:03I always like to give you a couple for your own entertainment.

04:07The Winkman's in the lineup for the Mets today.

04:10Would you like to know why, Scotty?

04:11Six for 18 with two homers off of Peralta in his career.

04:15On the other side, Reese Hoskins three for six with a homer off of Severino.

04:19Adamas four for 11 with a homer off of Severino.

04:22The Brewers have some guys that have hit Severino as well on their side of things.

04:28I like the over in this one too.

04:29I think you're going to get some runs with Severino and Peralta on the mound today.
