VIDEO via "Foul Territory": "The Dodgers Keep Making Good Teams Look Bad - Todd Frazier, Erik Kratz, and Scott Braun react to the Dodgers taking a commanding 3-0 lead over the Brewers in the NLCS. With Shohei Ohtani set to start Game 4, the crew debates whether the Brewers can avoid a sweep — or if the Dodgers will cruise to their second straight World Series appearance. They also discuss why Milwaukee’s offense has gone cold, how the opener strategy may have backfired, and why LA’s depth and star power make them nearly unstoppable."

Sunday 10/19:

Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "Jaymes, Paul and Ryan got together for a little post NLCS beatdown group therapy, looked at why the team lost, how they can avoid that happening in the future and previewed what figures to be yet another interesting offseason."

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "After 97 wins, crazy winning streaks and a win over the Cubs in the NLDS, the Brewers season came to an end after four frustrating games against the Dodgers. Brewers' reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss whether or not the Brewers could have done anything against the high-powered (and high cost) Dodgers rotation. If so, what was it? Why did they look so out of sorts? What roster moves could have precluded this from being such a blowout? What's up with Christian Yelich? Could this result really cause a greater likelihood of a work stoppage in 2027?

There were some bright spots, namely Jacob Misiorowski, as well as Jake Bauers, Caleb Durbin and Jackson Chourio, not to mention an unreal double play in Game 1 that we'll never see again. They briefly discuss some future roster decisions, particularly Freddy Peralta ... will he get traded this offseason?"

Via the "View from Bernie's Chalet" Podcast: "Jason & Hyatt discuss the end of the Brewers 2025 season after being swept in the NLCS by the Dodgers, putrid offense, Yelich disappearance, Dodgers incredible pitching, Ohtani's amazing game 4, Brewers overall strong pitching, sadness & never getting over not winning the whole thing."

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "The Brewers sure appear set to contend again in 2026, but do they have the firepower to bypass a team like the Dodgers competing at full strength? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look ahead. Is Freddy Peralta definitely going to get traded? If so, does Jacob Misiorowski become the de facto ace? Why should people believe in the Brewers next year? Who are the prospects that we need to know for next year? Are there areas this team could (fingers crossed?) add in free agency? Will there be changes to the coaching staff?"
