00:00John, you mentioned the Brewers. Why do you think there's so much skepticism about this Brewers team? Is it because
00:05they got swept in the NLCS last year that people are just like, I'm kind of out now because they
00:10were the one seed last year. They're going to be the one seed this year. They got swept in like
00:15dominant. Well, again, the games are close, but Dodgers swept them in the NLCS after being a wildcard team. Is
00:21that why there's so much skepticism? Because some people, John, I've talked to, they're like, well, no, they learned from
00:27that.
00:27They have Mizorowski now. Do you not believe that? At some point, you need a superstar player. And if you
00:38look around the playoffs, every team has a superstar player that is set to play, whether it be PC in
00:46Chicago, whether it be Tatis in San Diego, whether it be Bryce Harper in Philadelphia.
00:50The Dodgers have a plethora of guys. The Braves have a plethora of guys. They're just certain teams. They got
01:01a guy. The Brewers don't have a guy. They're a perfect regular season team. They play hard. They are ready
01:09to play every single day.
01:10They remind me of the St. Louis Cardinals, but the St. Louis Cardinals had Albert Pujols and Yachty.
01:17Exactly. At some point, you got to have the guy in an everyday lineup. And they just don't have the
01:25guys.
01:25It's Ryan Braun, who got suspended for steroids. They just don't. They just don't have a guy.
01:30And when you get to this point in the season where everybody can look at somebody and go, all right,
01:37we're behind you. They don't have that. They don't have. And some people tell you it's Cheerio.
01:43Some people, they'll pull out names. Good luck. Good luck with that guy.
01:49Yeah. It's, you know, you look at that Brewers lineup. I guarantee you ask, like, I wouldn't say
01:54casual, but you ask like a regular MLB fan, like name four guys in the Brewers lineup.
02:00You probably wouldn't be able to, but if you bet your house, you'd be have a good lineup.
02:04It's just not to the, like, they don't have this, the superstar punch. I feel like,
02:10and it was evident in last year's NLCS, right? It was like, there's a reason the Dodgers basically
02:16handled them when they went back to Dodger stadium. There's a reason why Blake Snell and Yoshi
02:20almost went the distance and back to back games against that lineup at Milwaukee in a controlled
02:27environment. And all this different stuff is because that lineup just faltered. They just
02:31weren't the same. And they barely got past the Cubs in the NLDS last year too. Like the Cubs
02:37almost upset them. So again, that this kind of goes back to my point of, I think the national
02:42league is just going to be this mix of a bunch of different teams. Now the AL as of right
02:47now is
02:48kind of looking like that. Uh, the AL central, like the white Sox league Cleveland by one and a half
02:53games, but those teams are almost sub 500 Houston, the Rangers by one game. I think everyone in that
03:00division is under 500. Uh, Cleveland leads Toronto by one game in a wild card or something around
03:06there. Again, forgive me. Cause you know what games are happening. You know what this postseason is
03:09going to feel like this is going to be, I hate to use the term, but baseball on steroids. Baseball
03:15is
03:16the most unpredictable postseason that we have hands down. It's not close. This is going to be a very
03:23unpredictable baseball postseason and I can't wait for it.
