Congrats to Lance McCullers, Joel Kuhnel, Luis Rengifo, Greg Jones and Jiewan Bae on their ring. Well deserved. 

And a couple other infielders Braden Shewmake & Jonathan Ornelas

Well. Be that as it may. He’s gonna get one.

Drew Rasmusssen said that the Brewers were the toughest team he’s ever played against in his career at the MLB level 

 

 

I didn't have any bad feelings about Tampa Bay or the Dodgers (except maybe Snell a little bit). Both class organizations with good people on staff and on the field.

Do you remember when Lou Palsmo made our WOAHS SOLVDD? Or when we were all in awe of Bill Hall and questioned whether or not he could pitch? We've got actual World Series champions to celebrate. We've come a long way.

Sproat is definitely part of this team. You'll be glad he's with us in the near future, possibly next year, I'm sure of it.

Any other season, any other year I would have been thrilled to see them win the World Series, would have been rooting for them. 

Not this one, though.

I’m a huge a historical baseball buff.    Once you really get out of the moment and look back at this team they are definitely one of the best teams this century and an all time great imo 

 

I think the only reason they won’t get their due is because they don’t have the “star name power” of individuals 

Best record in baseball 2 years in a row and an 11-2 Championship run.  Young staff and top farm system tells me baseball better get used to it.

I dont disagree.  Im hoping for his better version next year.  We've seen it in small samplse already.  Just needs to take the next step.

Did Priester travel with the team

He’s an interesting story for next season. Does he compete for a rotation spot, go to Nashville, or do they think of trying him in the pen? 

May almost certainly won’t be back, Miz, Henderson, and Gasser have three rotation spots spoken for.

That leaves 2-3 for Harrison, Drohan, Sproat, Priester, and whoever they might acquire in the offseason.

Young talent is going to take you very far. I saw the Astros up close and the only reasons they didn't continue their run (outside of yes, the cheating) was depleting the farm system in trades, and not be able to fully restock the farm due to the punishments from cheating. We don't have to worry about the cheating thing with the Brewers. And we've got a ton of talent in the pipeline. It's going to be a good run, I feel.

I mean, dont want to argue. But thats not entirely fair.  Sone of that was tongue in cheek. We're all happy tonight

[82brewcrew82]

I'm not even sure I know how to process this yet.  My parents are the definition of low level sports fans.  As in, they are aware the teams exist.  I caught the bug though and it was always baseball first.  They did such an incredible job of fostering that for me and it started with my dad taking me to games in 1980.  My son caught the same bug and I am so grateful that I got to experience two World Series games with him and then tonight, back home, the ultimate ending.  I won't lie, that was very emotional for me but celebrating with my son and seeing his energy was beyond amazing.

pretty sure I saw him in the dugout

I was in Poland and just heard the Brewers won.  So I ordered Hunter's Stew, Karol Józef Wojtyła favorite meal.

Ham, Sausage, Pork, Bacon cabbage , carrots, onions, mushrooms, 4 cups shredded green cabbage, 3 cloves garlic, chopped, (16 ounce) jar sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained, Beef Stock, tomatoes, cheese, 1 dash bottled hot pepper sauce, 1 dash Worcestershire sauce and dumplings only if you like them. LOL.

I remember the days on the old ESPN message board when we YEARNED for a .500+ season. This is for that, 25+ years ago, and it's amazing.

Sproat needs to work on the mental side of the game. If he can get that figured out, he has a good chance of really helping us. It's definitely worth the investment. His stuff has good late movement. The team has control over him for quite a few years.

[adambr2]

Priester was a huge part of our 2025 team. If he’s back at full strength next year that could be big. 

[willie key]

I don’t know what kind of career frelick will have with Milwaukee.   But he will be one of the guys that will be remembered when talking about the brewers World Series title.   
 

he’s not a superstar.   Like at all.   But will always be a Milwaukee guy.    Epitomizes this team

Although we dont yet know how the big market teams will respond, whats amazing about this team is that they seemed ahead of schedule for "peak". It looked like maybe 2 years out. Gonna be an exciting few years ahead.

I think about him a lot like Sixto Lezcano or Ben Ogilve back in the day.
