Brewers owner Mark Attanasio after team advances

Since 1982, the champagne is flowing in the locker room. Yeah, the Brewers shoot it off when they win the division, right? Yeah. They won the NLDS. Now they're doing it for the NLCS on the way to the World Series. Great stuff out in Los Angeles. The guys are celebrating. They're having a great time. No question, it's a very memorable time for any baseball team to get this far. And Mark Attanasio is the owner of this team. Where does he live? In Los Angeles. But he owns the Milwaukee Brewers. He's talking about his team tonight. In fact, this morning I think I was more nervous than I've been because this could actually have happened. I couldn't imagine this could happen. So in a way, for the responsibility I feel to everyone as a steward for the organization, it's the first time I felt pressure, real pressure. And fortunately our guys delivered. Mark, what was it like watching the game as it progressed to get down 4-0 early, to see the Brewers, the offense especially, come back and kind of claw and scratch the way they did it all year? what was going through your mind how were you feeling at that point well first thing i was concerned because the best player in the history of baseball was waking up and you know and uh i felt if we could get a run or two we'd be okay then we got two and once we got the two runs i felt like we had a shot mark when you think about late 2004 early 2005 when this was all just beginning how we always ask the players how are you different now than then well i just want to say uh somebody from espn radio probably long ago retired sat in the front row when i did my first interview in front of the media scrum and said you won't be so cheery when you lose for another 26 years so here we are 22 years later we beat we beat the standard this is satisfying for him he's taken heat over the years for not going out and getting a guy who's on the Los Angeles Dodgers and Skubal and what are you willing to give up why don't you keep some of the players that have left for big money and he said hey I'm going to continue to put a product that I think can win and here they're doing it this year David Stearns now Matt Arnold running the show running the baseball decisions for instance they were going to lose Corbin Burns on a big money contract right they traded to the Baltimore Orioles for D.L. Hall Joey Ortiz that in time has worked out pretty well for the Milwaukee Brewers they did not trade for Tarik Skubal they kept Logan Henderson, who would have been in that trade package, reportedly at least, he's pitching for the World Series Brewers. Tarik Skubal and the Brewers is on the sidelines with the Dodgers. Contreras, as you said, another guy whose contract is coming up. We'll see what the Brewers do with that.
