00:00I think as the season progressed and we saw what the Cubs starting rotation situation evolved into because it went
00:10from the lowest point where it's like we just got to get a stopgap and you'll get David Peterson.
00:15It actually works out well. And then everything up to the deadline is you need starting pitching. You get Gaussman,
00:21you get Holmes.
00:21And it's like, OK, like you've actually put this together really well.
00:26And then those guys don't necessarily perform to the level that you thought they were going to perform to, especially
00:33as the season progressed late in the year when the Brewers really separated themselves from you.
00:38But at the same time, like you had the best player in the National League.
00:42You had the second best player in the National League in the second half in Alex Bregman before, you know,
00:47the facial fracture.
00:48And even then he came back. Right. So I think there were a couple of things where you.
00:55I think you just have to tip your cap to the better baseball team. Right.
01:01The the Brewers are proving that they are the best team at a minimum in the National League.
01:07Yeah. And they look like they're going to sweep the back to back World Series champion a year after getting
01:14swept themselves in the NLCS.
01:16Like this is a different Milwaukee Brewers team. And maybe it's a thing in Cubs fans mind.
01:22And I remember I remember me and Lawrence talked about this in like May where there's this.
01:29You feel this superiority like big brother, little brother.
01:33I think that's how Cubs fans feel about the Brewers of like, well, we're always the big brother and maybe
01:38it's switched.
01:39Maybe you're now a little brother and maybe you're seeing in the production and the results and now seeing the
01:45Brewers lap you and now be on their way to the World Series that they are now the big brother.
01:51Other.
01:51Other.
