00:00There's a new champion.
00:01The Milwaukee Brewers, their first ever World Series win.
00:05They've been to the World Series before, but they've never won it.
00:07And the big story is that they're saying the Milwaukee Brewers broke the Major League Baseball model.
00:13Why?
00:14Yes.
00:15Because it's not the Dodgers and the Yankees and the Mets with their ultra-high payroll.
00:19No, they did it through the draft.
00:21Yeah.
00:21They did it through base hitting.
00:23Small ball.
00:24Small ball.
00:24They did it through pitching.
00:25And they had a low payroll.
00:27So, did they prove that you don't need to spend too much money to win a championship?
00:32What do you think?
00:33I think that it was a very important precedent.
00:35But I'm concerned that it might come and buy the league back on the back end.
00:40When we go into the collective bargaining agreement and there's precedent to say,
00:44look, there's no need to restrain our spending.
00:48You don't need to give me a cap, Dodgers.
00:50Right.
00:51You can go and win with a small roster without the stars.
00:55This is even if they can beat me, any other team can beat me.
00:59Let me spend as much as I want to spend, which will continue to unbalance.
01:03Right.
01:03But we also were referring to what Polo said.
01:06Not every team is spending the minimum.
01:09Right.
01:09What they're trying to accomplish now.
01:11They're trying to create a ceiling and a floor.
01:12Yes, a ceiling and a floor because there's teams that they just make money and make money
01:16and make money and they don't put it back into the roster.
01:18The players are concerned that they might be stuck on a team that never goes beyond the
01:24regular season.
01:25But now with the Brewers, now we see that there's an opportunity for a smaller team.
01:29But let's take a moment.
01:30And look, I'm not a big baseball guy.
01:32Even though my family's from Cuba, I had issues with my dad.
01:34So I told him, oh yeah, papi, you know who won baseball?
01:37You know who won football?
01:38And he goes, ah, football.
01:39I go, no, no, no football.
01:40Football.
01:41And then our relationship went haywire.
01:43But I really appreciated what the Milwaukee Brewers did because of the dominance that they
01:47did.
01:48They went 11-2 over the course of the playoffs.
01:51And, you know, whereas the Dodgers had to dig themselves out of a hole just to get past
01:55the Padres, the Brewers, they were never trailing in any series.
01:59No, no, no.
01:59And they were very close of sweeping both finals.
02:03For sure.
02:03They lost by one run.
02:05It was amazing to see the dominance just a tier above the rest of the team for real.
02:10And great, great players.
02:12Among them, one of the most important ones for that team, William Contreras.
02:16According to Polo, the expert in this matter, the very best catcher in MLB.
02:21Yeah.
02:21And so he was the World Series MVP.
02:24Now, some people are saying the entire Brewers team was the MVP.
02:27Wait, there's one stat.
02:28So while William Contreras won the World Series MVP, who's the guy?
02:33Oh, Jackson Chorrio.
02:35I don't know if I'm saying it right.
02:36We got to watch more baseball in the season.
02:38He became the first player since Babe Ruth.
02:41Yes, literally Babe Ruth to have 10 hits in the first four games of the World Series.
02:45And you also had Cooper Pratt, who had the defense, you know, the shortstop.
02:49He set a rookie record with hits in six straight at-bats from game four to game five.
02:54And like Polo says, hitting a baseball is mechanically the hardest thing to do in sports.
02:57You know, but William Contreras, back to him, he had an amazing moment.
03:01We have a clip from social media where he has the post.
03:04Let's see.
03:04Let's watch this clip, and we'll talk about it after.
03:23Five, four, two, two.
03:27So you see what happened?
03:29He starts off in Spanish, right?
03:31He always has an interpreter.
03:32Whenever he does his post-game interviews,
03:34he has an interpreter.
03:35He speaks in Spanish.
03:36The interpreter speaks.
03:37He broke out in English in the interview.
03:39Why is he using an interpreter?
03:41And then the announcers, I think,
03:43who was the Yankee shortstop there?
03:44Help me with the names, guys.
03:45I'm not a baseball guy.
03:46The Hall of Famer.
03:48Derek Jeter turns to him and goes,
03:50you don't need an interpreter.
03:51And what William Contrero said,
03:53not in that interview,
03:53but he has said it in other occasions,
03:55is that he doesn't want his course to be distorted.
03:58We're living in such a sensitive media age.
04:01Where everything, every soundbite is rehashed,
04:04cut up, interpreted.
04:06And if there's any insinuation or innuendo
04:09or somebody misspeaks or they say the wrong word,
04:12all of a sudden, you know, things happen.
04:14You get canceled, what have you.
04:15You get trolls.
04:16You get, you know, people railing against you
04:18on social media.
04:18Oh, he wanted attention.
04:19So he's so careful that even though
04:21he speaks pretty much perfect English,
04:23he has an interpreter.
