Friendly rivalry with sister station in Tampa Bay going strong

Well, even though the Brewers did face a tough loss last night, we still like to continue our friendly conversations with our sister station out in Tampa Bay. Our friend Walter Allen from Good Day Tampa Bay joining us once again. Walter, yesterday you said you felt deflated. Are you a little inflated today? Now, if you know me, I'm always deflated. That's just kind of my... No, we're pepping our stuff. Yeah, I mean, there's a faint pulse there with this team. So, yeah, hopefully we can stretch it into maybe another game, maybe an entire series. But finally we got to see the Rays that we have been seeing all year. I know there's been talk about the other teams. We heard a lot about you guys coming into this series and how well you were during the regular season. So it's nice that we can show off a little bit of what made us so successful during a regular season, which is really kind of what you guys did that made you so successful during a regular season. You're talking about, you know, two-strike hitting and taking advantage of your opportunities, that sort of thing. What a thrilling game last night. We have a lot of tired people in town, that's for sure. Walter, you guys are not alone. Donovan speaking to you here. We've never met, but I'm glad to meet you, sir. Listen, okay, so Johnny DeLuca and Chandler were pretty much some of the MVP, some of the heroes for your team yesterday. Great defense. You think they're going to be back at it in the same way, in the same capacity tonight? We hope so. You know, I mean, those guys have contributed all year long and continue to do so. I think the surprising thing for us was the offensive production by Ben Williamson, who got the walk-off hit. You know, he's not typically known for his offense, He's more of a defensive guy. I mean, he graduated from William & Mary four years ago, and so he's still kind of new to the whole Major League Baseball thing, and he plays fantastic defense. He's one of the reasons, along with him and Tanner Walls, that middle infield right there, they are superb, really. Usually, with an exception of game three, usually nothing gets by them. So to see them really contribute, especially Ben contribute offensively last night, which is what we like to see. Absolutely. Okay, let's go back to the 12th inning here. You know, Brewers fans excited. Cooper Pratt hits a homer. How are you feeling? Because for us, we went high to low. You guys got to go low to high. I mean, really, you know, I'll be 100% full transparency here. I was in bed. I go to bed at like, last night was like 530, because I just, I can't hang. I'm up at 1:45 in the morning, and then I'm on here by four. as you guys know but um when i go back and i re-watch everything yeah i mean as a Braves fan you're probably saying to yourself oh great here we go again milwaukee you know taking advantage of their opportunities making stuff out of nothing that Cooper Pratt home run uh i don't know but somehow we bent but didn't break so yeah again to your to your point we went from low to high which is that's the way i'd want to go instead of the other way around that is fair brother well nice to meet you man best of luck to your team as well and uh hopefully we'll be having a different conversation in our favor next time that's right hopefully we can hopefully we can bring it back to milwaukee i'm not saying you know we're gonna win this thing who knows but if we could just make a series out of this thing maybe send it back to you guys yeah and i'm sure you wouldn't complain either. If you were to win, you would like to do it on your home field. Fair. Exactly, Walter. We love the idea. So why don't you just throw this game and let's meet you in Milwaukee for games six and seven. We will not be doing that, but Walter, thank you so much for joining us once again here on the Wake Up.
