00:00Can this Brewer team, in your opinion, do anything in this NLCS to slow that train down, known as the
00:06Dodgers?
00:08I think they can.
00:11Yeah, so far I've picked every series right, and I'm going to pick the Brewers over the Dodgers in seven.
00:18Last year, they had just got done five-game series with the Cubs.
00:23Cubs are their arch rival.
00:25They beat them, and, you know, that was their World Series.
00:28They went crazy.
00:30But, yeah, they'd be back in the field 48 hours and didn't lead a single inning against the Dodgers.
00:34Now they're getting well-rested, just like the Dodgers are.
00:37And you have Jacob Mizorowski, and everything's set up.
00:41So they have a chance.
00:43I mean, Dodgers are a better team.
00:45But if Mizorowski, they can win his two starts, then, you know, you take your chances of winning two of
00:51the other five games.
00:53All right, Bob, we're seeing everywhere now.
00:55I want you to know that.
00:56So you just made the prediction that you've got the Brewers in seven to knock that train off its rails
01:01here.
01:02I mean, wow, that would be an incredible upset.
01:05Be one of the biggest upsets in NLCS history, no?
01:09It would be.
01:10I mean, particularly the fact, just the way the Dodgers have been rolling.
01:13And every time you think they're in trouble, you know, they say, okay, we'll, you know, put the big boy
01:18pants on, and we'll show you who's still the best team.
01:21They did that with Atlanta.
01:22People thought they were going to be in trouble with Atlanta.
01:25I did, too.
01:25And then they, you know, smoked Atlanta in that last two games.
01:28But just that starting rotation is so good, so deep.
01:33Those guys step up.
01:34Hey, Luki Betts, Freddie Freeman, yeah, he struggled on a regular season.
01:38October rolls around.
01:39Those two guys, Kiki Hernandez shows up.
01:42And, you know, Blake Snell throws 30 innings all year, and then he shows up.
01:46So, yeah, they're built for October.
01:49How were they going to use Shohei Otani, do you think, in this series?
01:55Yeah, just D.H. only.
01:57You know, then they kind of got away with him batting leadoff for number two just because of his struggles.
02:03He batted fifth one game, cleaned up the last game.
02:06So, same sort of thing.
02:08And they won, you know, with him continuing his struggles.
02:11I don't think they could ever bench him, just what he means to franchise.
02:14But, you know, I think when the season is over, I think we'll read one day Shohei Otani has some
02:22kind of, you know, minor knee surgery.
02:24I think he's compromised right now.
02:27Is he still the engine that runs that lineup, or is there anyone else, or is it just the collective?
02:34Because the Dodgers are just so deep.
02:36Is it the collective, or is he the engine that runs that lineup?
02:40No, it's collective.
02:42I mean, there's so many guys.
02:44I mean, here's Mookie Betts.
02:46You know, now he looks great again.
02:48Freddie Freeman always turns on October.
02:50Max Muncy, you know, home run, you know, each day.
02:53So, no, I mean, they won the first round, you know, without Otani really doing much at all.
02:59So, they really don't have an engine.
03:01I mean, that's how deep they are.
03:03It's like they got, you know, seven or eight engines.
03:05And he Pius had an unbelievable series.
03:08So, yeah, these guys step it up in October.
03:10Over.
