Brandon Woodruff accepts Milwaukee’s qualifying offer and I have some thoughts.

On this episode of Cold Brew, we discuss Manager Pat Murphy taking home MOY honors for a second straight year. We dive into some of GM Matt Arnold’s comments from the GM Meeting la taking place in Las Vegas.

Now that the World Series is over, we officially put an end to the 2025 MLB Season. We turn our attention to the Milwaukee Brewers off-season by talking about emerging storylines and the front office decisions that were made on Tuesday.

On this special edition of The Daily Brew, we break down the storylines of the 2025 Fall Classic. The series is tied at 2-2 as Shohei Ohtani continues to amaze and Vlad Jr. lives up to his name. As much as we wish it was the Brewers still playing, this series has delivered several historic moments already.

Shohei Ohtani puts together the greatest individual performance in MLB history to sweep the Brewers. This series was an embarrassment and such a frustrating way to end what was a special season. The Crew never stood a chance. (Dodgers win best of 7 series 4-0)

Jacob Misiorowski pitched his rear end off the give the Brewers a chance. The offense continues to let the pitching staff down as the Brewers season is hanging on by a thread. (Dodgers lead best of 7 series 3-0)

Jackson Chourio lead off the first with a homer and that was about all there was to cheer for Tuesday night. Yoshi Yamamoto one ups Blake Snell’s historic performance with a complete game. The Brewers have their backs up against the wall, will they respond and bounce back? (Dodgers lead best of 7 series 2-0)

Blake Snell stymies Brewers hitters through 8 stellar innings. The Brewers fight back and score a run and load the bases in the 9th. They ultimately fall one crucial run short. They allowed 8 walks and and could not get the big hit they needed it in the end. The key for this team is to have a short memory and focus on tying the series up in front of their home fans tomorrow night. (Dodgers lead best of 7 series 1-0)

We use the off day to preview the NLCS as it is a rematch of the 2018 version that had the Brewers miss the World Series by a single game. The Crew went 6-0 versus LA in the regular season, but October baseball is different. It is a true David vs. Goliath matchup, and we all know this team will be up to challenge!

The Milwaukee Brewers get the job done and they are advancing to the NLCS! Trevor Megill set the tone, Misiorowski stepped up, and the Brewers find the long ball when it mattered the most!! What an incredible night! The Crew sends the Cubs and Craig Counsell packing!! The focus shifts to hosting the Dodgers on Monday! (Brewers win best of 5 series 3-2)
