Truly unbelievable.
Really special👇

1B Freddie Freeman says Pat Murphy and the Brewers staff sent him and his family a video with well wishes while his son was in the hospital.
Devin Williams has won the NL Reliever of the Year Award.
Winners of the award since 2018:
2018 - Josh Hader - Brewers
2019 - Josh Hader - Brewers
2020 - Devin Williams - Brewers
2021 - Josh Hader - Brewers
2022 - Edwin Diaz - Mets
2023 - Devin Williams - Brewers
Quite a run.
Obviously this doesn’t warrant an ejection.
But what bothers me the most is how all of the refs ignore Giannis when he tries to ask what he did wrong.
The refs actions in that minute show how much they wanted to feel the power they had in the situation.

Freddy Peralta says Jackson Chourio will come up to him after he makes a big play and be like “do you see how good I am?”😂
Freddy: “I don’t know what answer to give him. I just smile about it and laugh about it.”
Great insight on Jackson from Freddy👇
This just caught my eye.
William Contreras is the last one in the dugout still studying the iPad after an 8-2 win. The guy is always wanting to get better.
Just a gem of a baseball player all around.

Manager Pat Murphy talks about Willy Adames calling his shot to the fans in the 9th inning.

In the last 6 months…
Craig Counsell to the Cubs.
Jrue Holiday to the Celtics.
Aaron Jones to the Vikings.

P Dallas Keuchel says Milwaukee is one of the places he targeted in the spring as a landing spot.
Why the Brewers?
“It seems like everything is laid back in the best way possible. It seems like year in and year out, everyone is just playing backyard baseball.”
First weekend couldn't have went much better for the Crew.

There is a special bond between Freddy Peralta and Willy Adames. Two of the stars of today’s Brewers win.
“I’m proud of him and he knows that I love him.” - Freddy Peralta on Willy Adames
The Brewers have won their 50th game before July 1st for the first time in 10 years.
Another grand slam powers the Crew. Plus Yeli goes yard. And Freddy was Freddy.
Milwaukee goes 5-1 on the homestand and 5-2 against the Cubs at AmFam Field.
William Contreras has an 11-game hitting streak, sure.
But he also does so many little things.
Look at what he does after scoring…to help those other 2 runs score.
(Grabs the bat and directs Taylor exactly where to slide)
He continues to impress in his first year in MKE.

“It says a lot of things about our city. For me, it’s bringing a lot of good energy, positive vibes and I love that.”
I think we just witnessed a Brewers Classic.
Milwaukee wins it 5-1, powered by a 3-run homer by Willy Adames.
The Brewers have a 4.5 game lead in the NL Central and the Cubs fall to 27-27.
What a day at the yard. Postgame reaction from the clubhouse coming!
#Brewers
Manager Pat Murphy on the importance of fans to this Brewers team👇
"(The Labor Day crowd) really juiced them up and since then it's been a little lackluster."
"I think they feed off it. I think this team needs the fans. I really do. I think this team needs the fans."
#Brewers
Manager Pat Murphy on the Cardinals pitching to Hoskins with 1st base open and Chourio on-deck👇
“I think they thought if we pitch around him they are gonna bring in Yelich. And they might’ve been right.”
#Brewers
SS Willy Adames said he got emotional on the field after his home run today👇
“For the first time in my career, I think I got a little emotional.”
#Brewers
SS Willy Adames says the “confidence is through the roof” right now on offense.
Also says this year is “more fun” with the guys they have in their lineup👇
Jackson Chourio is hitting .320 in his last 73 games.
He's played 124 games this season.
That means in the majority of his rookie season so far, he is hitting .320.
Oh, and he is just 20 years old.
This content is wild.
Pat Beverly LIVE on his podcast getting a call telling him he’s got a 9pm flight tonight.
Also trying to figure out when he’ll first play for the Bucks…
“Okay so I play Denver?”
Devin Williams last night👇
“Every year is special, but this one just feels a little different in here. The chemistry our team has, ya know, we go out there every day and play for each other. Which is a little different than in years past.”
Brewers win.
Phillies win.
Dodgers lose.
Brewers are tied for the 2 seed and 1.5 games behind the Dodgers for the 1 seed in the NL.
The battle tightens.
“I want to win until they tap us on the shoulder and say…it’s over bro, there’s no more games.
I didn’t come in here to participate and say…oh the old man got a chance to manage.”
#Brewers
Manager Pat Murphy👇
On Gasser: “His focus was impeccable.”
On the win and the fans today:
“This was a nice win. Our environment here today was great. I was thankful for our fans to come out and support us.”
The Brewers have beaten the Dodgers.
5-4 final. What a ballgame.
We saw vintage Devin Williams.
Coincidentally, Joey Ortiz ends up scoring the winning run.
Brewers extend their NL Central lead to a season-high 8.5 games.
The Brewers have scored 5+ runs in 9 straight games.
That is the longest such streak since July of 2019.
They have not scored 5+ runs in 10 straight games since 2011. That 12-year drought can end tomorrow.
Considering what happened Friday night, Pat Murphy said he went up to Blake Perkins after the game and told him👇
“I know you don’t want to be the hero, but you just were.”
A moment of silence for Robb Edwards here at AmFam Field before the National Anthem.
He was the public address announcer for the Brewers from 1998-2019.
Brewers sweep the Rangers for the second straight season with a 6-5 walk-off winner!
Milwaukee rebounds from a tough series in San Diego with a four-game winning streak.
They are 15 games over .500 and rolling at 48-33.
The Brewers have 26 games left. The Cubs have 25 games left.
If the Brewers win every series the rest of the way, they will go 18-8.
The Cubs would have to go 21-4 or 22-3, depending on tiebreaker.
So...a motto for the last four weeks? Just win the series.
