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."
