00:00Brewers win 7-3. This game started off with a bang as Seah Suzuki hit a three-run shot in the

00:07first for Chicago, and then Andrew Vaughn did the same for Milwaukee, and we're not at a three

00:12after one. In the third, William Contreras joined the party with the dinger. Choddy Minaga was

00:18removed after only a few innings of work. He has now allowed arm 22 home runs since the All-Star

00:26break. The second most allowed by a pitcher in that span is 17. Jackson Chorio hit the exclamation

00:34point in the fourth with a three-run home run, improving his postseason average to 529 in his

00:41short career as a 21-year-old. He joins Carlos Beltran as the only players in MLB history with

00:4910-plus hits, three-plus home runs, and nine-plus RBIs through his first five career postseason

00:55games. Jacob Mizorowski, holy shit. I don't know if we can cuss on here. Three innings, one hit,

01:03four Ks, no earned, broke the record for the most 103-mile-an-hour pitches thrown in a postseason

01:12game since the pitch tracking era began, and he did it in one inning. Aaron Ashby allowed three

01:19earned runs, and then the Brewers' bullpen shut the door, not allowing another run. The Brewers are

01:25wagon. Yep. Yep. And that Mizorowski performance, I mean, that I can't emphasize enough how big that

01:35is for them because if they're able to wrap this thing up here in three games, the amount of pitching

01:39that he may have actually helped them save because they end up just going with a bunch of different

01:43relievers who were fresh, who also didn't throw that many pitches, right? The most pitches that

01:47were thrown by a reliever was Koenig at 16. So you have everyone pretty fresh. McGill even returning from

01:52injury, only throwing nine pitches, and you still have Priester ready to go. Chad Patrick can give

01:59you a lot more length than 11 pitches. They're in a really interesting spot, and it felt like this

02:04game might be different. I talked about it on the last episode. I was like, okay, the one way the Cubs

02:07can maybe start to make this a series is it's going to realistically have to be a slugfest because

02:12the odds of them being able to match the Brewers' staff zero for zero is unlikely. And I thought after

02:17that first inning, oh, maybe we got the slugfest here. But just like the first game, it's like

02:21Cubs draw first blood. And then that was kind of it for a while, but even more so this time around.

02:27And then just the Brewers, man, like the offense, they're going to come up with these big swings.

02:32It's funny because through a lot of the year, it wasn't the home run ball as much as just,

02:36I think, a lot of runners in scoring positions, stealing bags, doing all these little things.

02:41But right now, there's several guys in this lineup that I'm like, he can go deep right here.

02:45You saw it from Contreras. You saw it from Chorio. And then you got King Vaughn coming up big as

02:50well in the first. And that was that answer right away, that three-run shot. That's where I was

02:54like, oh man, the Cubs can't even hold up. It's not even their fault to a degree. I just feel like

02:59no lead is safe. I can't believe how good this 21-year-old is. A reminder.

03:05Really easy to forget that he's 21. You could have convinced me he's 23. And I've been covering him

03:09since he was a 17-year-old prospect. Barely legal to drink the champagne

03:15after a win. And he's hitting over .500, joining the likes of guys like Carlos Beltran.

03:22This is an unbelievable start. And may I remind you, he's playing on one hamstring.

03:28The same hamstring that has held him out this season. He wasn't even supposed to play in this

03:33game. That was the reports. And what does he do? Hit a home run straight away to center.

03:39I mean, he's even making plays in left field and he's hobbling after it.

03:44The guys took him out when they were in control. Let's get him out of there. And I think that tells

03:48you like, if they, if they don't need him right there, like let's get him out. And Lockridge

03:53came in later in the ball game when they were up by enough runs because that hammy's got to be

03:57barking at him. And then bringing in Mizorowski is like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight.

04:02Yeah. That's stuff. I'm laughing at my television arm. It's, it's Mason Miller, but it's funkier.

04:12Weirder. Yeah. It's like funkier Mason Miller, which is, it's just a problem. And the difference

04:16is Miller's been dotting, but we saw in this one, like with the funk that Mizorowski has,

04:21as long as he's around the zone and three innings of two walks, four K's it's around the zone enough.

04:27Good luck.
